Twrp has always taken awhile for me on any phone running stock. On a ROM it boots in about a second or two. Stock its like 10-15 seconds.

This is unofficial conversion of ghost TWRP to obake, that can be used to flash CM12. Other than the properties to set the OTA assert correctly, no changes from ghost.
I got the following error message
" (bootloader) Image size exeeded partition limits"

Any idea?

I was wondering if you'd mind sharing the steps you took to build the image. Did you start with the stock TWRP ghost image file then unpack, edit, and repack? Or did you actually make the property changes on the source and build? I unpacked your conversion and compared it to stock and saw some binary file differences, so I'd guess it was more involved than just editing a few files. Reason I ask is because I saw there is a 2.8.6 version of TWRP out now and I thought I'd try my hand at making an obake version of it. Thanks.

I am planning to install CM 12.1.

Should I use this TWRP 2.8.4.0? Or is there a newer version.

Phone is Droid Maxx and bootloader is unlocked.

This version works well for me.. I don't know of any other version newer than this one... Go for it

SunShine Worked

How did you guys get the bootloader unlocked? Motorola website doesn't have Ultra Maxx on it. I'm on KitKat unrooted.

SunShine Worked for me, had to have an unupdated phone and it cost $25
But did work. There may be new ways now I'm not sure. for me Sunshine couldn't temp root to work at first (kingroot was the only root that did work) so I had to use kingroot first. I don't think king root holds after reboot but it was enough to let sunshine grab root to do it's thing.
