TWRP 2.0 officially dead and not working - Kindle Fire General

TWRP Recovery is officially dead. I just tried to use it with the latest Kindle version and it is not working for me at all.
However I was able to use Custom CWM Beta 2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454241.
I was able to fast boot to its recovery mode and make a backup of my Kindle. Thank goodness! Now I feel confident trying out something else besides Amazon's underwhelming Android.

While development on TWRP 2.0 has been halted it still works just fine. I have it on my Wife's fire. There is no functional reason for it to stop working.
I have CWM-Touch modified by DooMLoRD on mine and it works as well.
From the OP's message it is not clear if he had problems loading it, or using it, though I can't think of why if it was loaded it wouldn't work.

I guess my point is ...
Its not worth using something that is dead and that the Custom CWM-Based Touch Recovery 5.0.2.7 for Kindle Fire works just fine and is in active development. I'd rather spend my energy testing and using CWM Touch than TWRP at this point.
Its install process was easier and actually worked for me while the TWRP install did not work for me at all. TWRP never showed an install or reboot screen like it was supposed to.

TWRP works fine. Just a matter of preference.

misleading subject line.
I think it a little misleading to say twrp is dead.
I've never used cwm, I suspect it works just as good.
If it ain't broke don't fix it. If you can give me a valid reason why I
should switch I will. And it being actively developed isn't good enough.

I was on 6.2.2, installed Burritoroot 3 via adb, downloaded twrp 2.0 manually and put it into the kindle utility folder (check the batch-file for correct name) and pressed "install twrp" in kindle utility.
For a "officially dead and not working software" it was pretty easy to install and works like a charm.

twrp works fine as long as you never "reboot to recovery". twrp never fixed the bootmode during system reboot.
I switched, because of no support. I love cwm, and I'm familiar with it. plus, reboot system properly sets the boot mode. which to me. is what's supposed to happen.

Only it isn't misleading. TWRP is dead. It is no longer being developed.
See here http://teamw.in/blog/15 where they say "We will be abandoning twrp". They also state that they will be putting their efforts directly into ClockworkMod. Which I think is commendable and will actually help improve CWM Touch in the long run.
We should support and use active projects. As TWRP being abandoned is relatively new news I thought I would post about it because I only found out about it after researching how to get it installed properly. I abandoned trying to make it work when I realized it was no longer being developed and CWM Touch seemed to be the place to go given the news.

[Q] Reliability of TWRP??????

Question is basic; can someone with experience please give me the low-down when it comes to TWRP? I am new to Android in the sense but consider myself somewhat tech savvy. I test software and provide technical support for a living so I completely understand that people can do some dumb stuff. Just yesterday I had a man on the phone trying to connect his Pidion PDA to a McDonalds Wi-Fi by standing in his front yard and pointing it in the direction of a McDonalds two miles away. Anyhow I got the device for X-mas and have spent every day since reading about constant issues using TWRP. I’m really just trying to figure out if the blame for these issues can be pinned down on either the recovery itself or the fact that Millions of these things are in the hands of people who should probably not be doing the things they are doing at their current levels of knowledge, or a combination of both? I have owned a Moto-Triumph for a few month and have flashed Roms & Kernels out the Wahoo using CWM and have become very comfortable with its reliability but had not heard of TWRP until a few weeks ago and the association I have goes with all the stuck on Yellow Triangle posts covering just about every forum. I have TWRP installed and running CM7 and if this was my phone I would have flashed 2 Roms by lunch but for the reasons above feel like I should have a day set aside for trouble shooting before considering doing a simple thing like restoring a stock Nandroid. I lucked out with the Phone having an unlocked loader and Sudo installed out the box. Sorry I tend to rant but am basically asking that if I know my way around Roms and CWR will I be OK using TWRP or should I expect that it will have the occasional hiccup or is unstable in any way?

I have had no hiccups or any other problem, backing up. restoring or flashing.​
TWRP is awesome, backups and restores work great. The main issues are people getting stuck in fastboot, which is not really a TWRP issue. As long as you follow directions, you should have no issues.

I feel the same way as the OP. I have cwr on my phone and I have never messed up anything. I have roms backed up and I can always get up and running quickly. I have tried half assed roms just for the heck of it and no problem.
I don't think that TWRP is the same kind of program as CWM. I think it's almost impossible to brick my phone using clockword mod but I don't think the same can be said for TWRP. I have read so many posts with people who have TWRP installed and yet they manage to "brick" their device. I don't know if it's a TWRP issue or that the kindle is very sensitive. Nevertheless, I am not rooting it because of these issues, besides, I like stock (I would love swype, that's about it).
Twrp works great. They forgot to set it to change bootmodes leaving recovery so don't use apps to force into recovery. Just firefirrfire.
Most issues, are user errors. I haven't had one issue, and I test everything!

although I havent had any issues (that I can think of) with twrp, the constant "cannot mount /misc !" really bothers me. twrp is on several devices and from what I understand about it... the dev responsible for twrp being on the kindle fire joined twrp, got it working for the fire, they rolled out twrp 2.0 then he quit the team to make a recovery + app he plans on being paid only. so with that said... who knows if twrp will be maintained for the fire?
I hate to bash on anyones work, I didnt have any problem flashing zips with it. I dont really backup/restore much but the few times I tried, it worked. I really like the fact it can be themed easily

That's a great concern. Which is why I've been Working with doomlord to bring clockworkmod to our kindle fires. We need support. Twrp does not have that. But it works.

Thanks for the responses; I think my fears stem from unfamiliarity. Like I said above everything was easily with my Triumph, was able to install CWM without Rooting the stock Rom and outside of doing something dumb like frying the CPU always felt comfortable knowing I could easily get back up and running no matter how bad I messed things up. I’m sure I will be fine, just need to get used to doing things a little differently and school myself on ADB and Fastboot and as recommended above avoid any apps or options for rebooting into recovery.
I haven't had any issues with twrp so far. Installing was a little tricky when i got stuck at the yellow triangle but after that everything has been good so far.
I have TWRP on both my kindle fire and my wife's and neither has had a single issue with it. My brother, who is not what I would call tech savvy, installed it onto his just a couple days ago without issue by reading the instructions and multiple threads posted around here without issue. I think a lot of the issues come from people not reading as closely as they should or just from getting overly excited about being stuck in fastboot.

I would like to put twrp on my phone. It works great. Half of what cwm does fails on my phone. Twrp works every time. People having issues likely can't follow instructions and don't have the knowledge if adb to fix their mistakes

all win
TWRP is all win. If you follow directions to a T and dont frustrated it will work fine. In alot of ways TWRP is better than CWM.
The TWRP team is maintaining TWRP. Even though the head developer left, If you would have read there tweets they are taking some time off. They Even Had announced a Twrp 3 for release, But for now everything is onhold until the team is better organised.If a developer would contact the team for the source, the xda community can keep it maintained.

Question about CWM vs TWRP

I am real new to the KindleFire community but so far loving my Kfire. I see in slot of posts they say to use TWRP to install or update a ROM. Since I have CWM installed can I use it instead are they interchangeable for installing files?
Hope that make sense.
Thanks
Rod
most people are taking about twrp because it was the first recovery for the kf
cwm is quite new for the kf
you can use both to install roms ...
Cwm is able to be updated by current developers. Twrp looks cool, but just needs to be updated. If someone updates the reboot wrappers it'd be a winner. But I do like and prefer cwm

Is there or link or how-to to swtich from TWRP to CWM? Does CWM have all the features as TWRP? I have been using TWRP since I rooted the KF, have used it to back up, flash new roms to try out, flash back to my backup. CWM does all this, just dosn't have the nice CWM interface?

The easiest way is to use THIS method, just be sure to unzip the file on your Kindle rather than on a computer or it may not work correctly. The only difference I've noticed between CWM and TWRP is that CWM does not compress the backup so the file is a lot bigger, my backups used to be in the low 500mb range and now they are in the low 800's.
Any particular reason to migrate to CWM? I have TWRP from the first day ant it doing a job very well. So, did CWM have any new features?

Development should be the main reason imo I think the interface looks way better. I got annoyed by the flickering backlight with twrp. It does all the same things, but cwm looks better. Plus before I switched, twrp wouldn't flash roms or gapps all the time, it would get stuck and I would have to reboot

For me there was not a reason to use TWRP as I have been using CWM for the last several years on smartphones and was more comfortable with it. I also read several articles where people had issues with TWRP so with as much problems as I was having trying to root my kindle because of USB driver I wanted to stick with something I know. So I thought it best to stick with and old friend I was used too. Not saying one is better than the other I just like CWM better for me and think it gives me more options to perform operations on my phone and kindle.

How have the pros and cons changed with the intro of TWRP 2.1? I am currently using CWM touch but prefer the TWRP interface, but don't want to sacrifice any features.

all the reboot option in twrp are still broken so Cwm is still the way to go and mabe im ocd but i like haveing Cwm on my phone and tablet plus you dont have to worry about accidenty hiting reboot to recovery and being in a boot loop
different versions of CWM touch?
I just switched from CWM touch (DooMLorD) v1.0 Final to v5.0.2.7-kf1.5 I was wondering what the differences are? I tried the Change UI color feature, but it doesn't seem to work, just stays red. is there something I'm missing? and what else was changed?
its just cleaned up. not sure why it wont change colors, works fine on my device I tested all the colors when I posted the screen shots.

New Xoom owner on the way :)

Well I'm coming over to the Xoom area now. Picked up two Xoom's (32 gb/WiFi) on Amazon for a good price and looking fwd to all the development you guys have going on over here. Currently been pretty hooked on my Razr w/ the latest round of soaks and OTA's for 4.0.4 along w/ the custom roms.
Right now just reading as much as I can so when both tabs get here on Tuesday I'll be ready to go, have all my files in place, etc.
I promise I won't ask any stupid questions in your guys' section w/ out searching, searching, searching!!!
Figure I'll run one stock 4.0.4 and the other w/ CM9 or EOS. Whichever I like better I'll put on the stock 4.0.4 and give to my g/f. As you can see I've had a variety of tabs/devices and always wanted a Xoom. Thought about getting some of the latest and greatest like the Excite or TF300 but I'm a sammy and moto fanboi and just can't bring myself to do it. I'd rather Moto give up on the Xyboard and release a front runner soon since Sammy looks like they have no intentions of going for performance, and instead focusing on price (ala Galaxy Tab 2, nothing wrong with that btw).
Hey young man
Nice to see another one coming to the dark... *cof**cof*... light side of the force lol
Just kidding... Anyway, if you want root I recommend my tool (LordAIOTool), as many people it's easy and good to do that kind of stuff on Xoom, one guy even mentioned it as "The Ultimate Xoom Tool". Hope you have fun here

Well the first tab arrived and let my g/f have that one. Came from Amazon Warehouse and it was a used India Tab. Therefore got it to US 3.0 and then upgraded to 4.0.4 allowing system updates to run their course. I then unlocked and used your tool to root. Worked flawlessly. Thank you for that!
Then tried adb'ing both eos recovery and team rogue recovery. Both I'm having issues with. The issue is it will go to either recovery fine immediately after flashing. However if I let the tablet boot up or reboot and try to access recovery again, it goes back to the stock recovery. Either way I got EOS 2.0 Rom installed which is a lovely piece of work. Will probably run their nightlies when my Xoom gets here.
Just wish I could figure out that issue w/ returning to stock recovery. I've searched and searched and searched and no such luck. Doesn't matter much, I suppose, as my g/f doesn't like me messing with her devices and having to factory reset so I suppose I will leave it as is, for now.

adb'ing the recovery isn't the best way to go about it. Use fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) should work fine.
What I'm saying is guys, I have added custom recoveries (by way of fastboot flashing the .img recovery file). Tried both Rogue and EOS recoveries. They work fine the first time I flash them, but then no matter if I try to use the hard buttons or just use commands to get into recovery it always reverts back to the stock recovery. (As in, dead android, red triangle, then I have to hit power + vol up which brings up stock recovery).
It's as if the custom recoveries aren't sticking.
With stock recovery, do you have the option , "install zip from sd card"?
If you do, I will send you a recovery zip, not image, to be installed from within recovery, not adb... let me know.

There you go, http://goo.im/devs/teameos/recoveries/wingray/eos-recovery-r6.zip
Just boot into your existing recovery,
Choose install zip from sd card and flash this.
If it doesn't work, I am afraid you need to to unlock your bootloader again and flash the recovery image again. If that is needed, will help you with steps. Try this first and let me know.
Good luck.

We're gtg all. Don't think I did anything different but Rogue recovery works every time now.
Thanks for all the help and suggestions! W/ being on EOS 2.0 my g/f has practically streamed Netflix non stop all day starting at 71% battery life and she just plugged the charger in a little bit ago. It was one of those lazy days and she's in the middle of a season on one of her shows.

Opinions on CWM recovery

I will be receiving my Nexus 7 this week and would like to get some opinions on which CWMR seems the best based on user accounts. I'm conducting a poll to see which one everyone prefers. I've always been partial to the original CWMR but would like to change it up a bit. If you vote please tell me why you like the one you use over the others available. This will give us some insight on the pros and cons of each version.
None of them. CWM 5.8.0.2 Touch flashed via boot loader. Doing full backups each time is slow but I've found 6.0.1.0 less favourable to me.
you should consider twrp recovery. its also touch based, has more feature than cwm, much less buggy than cwm, and overall much more user friendly.
Thanks for the comments! I am considering TWRP since I hear good things about it. I also read that it compresses backups to save space. Just little nervous about touch driven recovery, I might touch the wrong selection by accident. I did that once installing recovery on my girls captivate with rom manager. Luckily I was able to reflash the correct version without any problems.
TWRP.... touch just lets you select what you want. You confirm most selections by using a slide approval. Compression works well. Now can name backups.
Started using on the KF and then my HTC Rezound where CWM had issues when the phone battery got low and would not let it charge.
In your poll, not sure what CWMR- TWRP 2.2.1 is supposed to be. TWRP is from TeamWIN not CWM
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/103
I'm still on stock in the meantime, in-case there's more OTA updates this month.
From what I've read, TWRP is what I will mostly likely go with at the end of the month. Heard too much bad things about CWM's blobs taking up space and not being deletable, especially if you only want to carry one nandroid backup at a time.

Yeah I know...hehe I tried to edit my poll but was unable to. I guess the term of CWM to me is the means of flashing roms and doing backups. Sorry Team Win did not mean to generalize. I'm just glad we have TWRP as another option.

[VIDEO] Idiot's Guide - How to Install CM10 on the HP Touchpad

This is my FINAL VERSION of my Idiots Guide for the HP Touchpad. Now that a stable enough version of CM10 is available, I finally created a guide for you.
Here are links to the files you will need:
CM10 03/04/2012 Build
GAPPS 10/11/2012
ACMEInstaller3
Moboot 3.8
Anything else that you might need, you'll find on http://www.reverendkyle.com
Thanks for the video. It came just in time as I just purchased a used TP that had an older version of android ICS already on it and I wanted to upgrade but seeing as how this is the first device I have sort of inherited already rooted, it is hard to just jump in and know everything that I would have learned from the beginning like i did with my previous phones.
Anyways, I did everything you said except I used the newest AOKP rom. But my tp is still booting to the older version of android that I had on it. Any ideas? Feel free to pm me if you prefer that.

If the AOKP ROM is using a unique uImage file, then you may see two different entries on your moboot screen for two different Android builds.
What does your moboot menu have in it?
Maybe your install failed. Try downloading and flashing it again. If you're trying AOKP JB, you should wipe both /data and dalvik cache to avoid a boot loop!
If using AcmeInstaller3 remember to rename the ROM with ”update-” at the beginning so that it looks like update-AOKPJB_UnOfficial.zip

I believe it was the "update-" thing that was keeping it from updating. I followed another video tutorial which provided files that had the "update" in front of them and it worked.
I haven't tried yet but now that it worked will the regular method of wiping and flashing through recovery work? (Like, if I want to try out different JB Roms) Are there any files that need to be in a particular place for the recovery method to work? I tried that method first and it would never take, would always revert back to the original version. Don't know if, because I just jumped in and haven't been here from the beginning, I am just missing a necessary step that is hardly even talked about anymore.
Love your work Rev! Thank you again for everything that you do!
Update went like clockwork, unfortunately I can't seem to get the camera to work (not a terrible loss, but I was sorta excited to see it actually working with this release).

I can attest to the improved battery life on this cm10 build. Amazingly, it holds battery life when it's sleeping now.
Thank you so much for taking the time in making the video for us. Your instructions are easy to follow, hard for anyone to mess up.
(The hosting site for the files is not working, not sure if you were aware)
Hi, I have CM9 running on my TP. With the latest release, the camera works great. But before updating it to CM10, I'd like to know about the issues currently in this build.
Thanks.

Don't go for external mirrors unless some recognized developer suggests them. Best will be to wait for goo.im to come up again, being a prime site, it won't be down for long.
The goo servers do appear to go down on occasion. They always come back up a bit later.
Problem with installing GAPPS using ACMEInstaller3
Excellent tutorial for an idiot like me. Thanks for again for the guide! Question:
I followed the instructions step by step and was able to get CM10 installed successfully. However, I wasn't able to get GAPPS installed using this method. From researching I understand sometimes there is a problem installing GAPPS through ACMEInstaller3 and one can simply get GAPPS installed through CWM Recovery. However, I would like to use/have TWRP instead so is there a way to get GAPPS installed properly through ACMEInstaller3 and then I can install TWRP through GooManager?
Alternatively, is there a way to install GAPPS without using CWM Recovery?
Or, I guess I can install CWM Recovery first, then install TWRP Recovery, then remove CWM Recovery while keeping TWRP and not go back to the stock Recovery? I tried to search the forums and wasn't able to find instructions on removing CWM Recovery WHILE still keeping CM10 and not go back to the Stock recovery.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.
@reverendkjr - appreciate your videos. they're awesome. definitely helped me (and several other friends) many times and saved a ton of time. super easy to follow.
Yes you can install TWRP normally, flash gapps in CWM then install goomanager app, open and click the 3 dot menu and install custom recovery script then it will install it
Now using a root file manager go to the directory called boot and delete uimage.cwm.img (this is from memory but still should be correct

My goodness you have forgotten everything, you will need to install acmeuninstaller 3, moboot, CMW and the rom you want along with the relevant gapps. Sounds complicated this thread will make it easy
