CHANGELOG for 2.8.0.0:
-Add MTP support to recovery thanks mostly to bigbiff with a little help from Dees_Troy
-Add command line capabilities - you can now execute various TWRP features via adb instead of the touchscreen
-Add support for color in the console and give error, warning, and highlight lines different colors
-Track backup and restore progress based on file sizes to provide a much more accurate indication of progress
-Improve handling of /misc thanks to mdmower
-Improve setting of time on Qualcomm devices thanks to [NUT]
-Allow using images on slidervalue GUI objects thanks to Tassadar
-Allow using variables and addition and subtraction in variables for easier theming
-Add support for 1440x2560, 280x280, and 320x320 resolutions and update 240x240
-Allow ui.xml file to include additional xml files to help break up the theme and make TWRP easier to maintain
-Other minor fixes and improvements
Over the course of the last year or so, bigbiff has worked to migrate various Java functions from Android's MTP implementation to bring you a fully C++ based MTP implementation that allows you to transfer files to both emulated storage and Micro SD cards. It's confirmed to work on various Nexus devices but we may have to make some changes on other devices to keep Windows happy. Windows is very picky about USB IDs and its drivers. We have tested it on Windows 7 and 8 as well as Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty. MTP is enabled by default, but we do toggle it off and on automatically during certain operations such as if you choose to wipe a storage partition. You can enable or disable MTP under the mount menu in TWRP. For more about what MTP is here.
Note: Due to a weird bug with our MTP setup, you cannot copy a zip file to the root of storage with Windows. You can change the .zip to something else like .txt and then copy it to the root and rename the file back to .zip once it's copied to the device. You can also copy the zip into any subfolder.
Command line support is also now available. You can perform various OpenRecoveryScript commands via the adb shell. Depending on what you are doing you may wish to do a "twrp set tw_mtp_enabled 0" and then reboot to prevent the MTP auto toggle from killing your adb interface. You can use this option to create and restore backups, wipe, install zips, and more. Via adb shell, type twrp followed by a space then enter the OpenRecoveryScript command and hit enter. Find more OpenRecoveryScript commands here.
CHANGELOG for 2.7.1.0:
-Add GUI option to change or repair file systems on individual partitions. The change is destructive so backup your data including internal sdcard first. This option should make it a little easier to migrate a device from ext4 -> f2fs, for instance. You will find this option under Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, then select only one partition and then press the Repair or Change File System button. If a developer has added f2fs support for your device and we don't have it in TWRP, please contact me via PM to arrange for it to be added.
-Various bugfixes to backup and restore
-Improvements to USB storage handling
-Added a class to search for files to make finding the correct brightness file automatic in most cases
-Various other bugfixes and tweaks
CHANGELOG for 2.7.0.0:
-Faster graphics rendering by disabling alpha blending on fully opaque objects thanks to Tassadar
-Allow sideloading from /tmp on encrypted devices
-Check for a crypto footer before asking for a password to prevent user confusion
-Additional checks for validity to auto generated backup names
-Text wrap in the console output
-Proper caps lock support in the keyboard
-Mouse support via USB OTG for devices with a broken digitizer
-Improve scanning of storage locations for OpenRecoveryScript
-Haptic feedback for buttons, keyboard, and vibration at the end of longer running actions thanks to Samer Diab
-Fixed ext4 wiping when no selinux contexts are defined for that partition (e.g. sd-ext)
-Update SuperSU to 1.93 and improve installation process
-Added selinux contexts restoration to fix permissions
-Load RTC offset on Qualcomm devices to fix the date/time in recovery
-USB Mass Storage fixes Add SELinux support checking
-Add Disk Usage class to better handle excluded folders (e.g. Google Music cache)
-Add 4.4 decrypt support
-Add some toolbox utilities to TWRP (namely to support SELinux functions not supported in busybox)
-Various SELinux fixes and bug fixes

Why is status testing? It is stable, right?
Does it work with the Rogers one too or just the At&t Vivid only? I'm confused.

Thanks guys couldn't have done it without Jose so make sure to give him some thanks as well. The recovery should be working fine. The only problem I see right now is the inability to charge inside of recovery and the battery percentage being continually stuck on 66% or something like that. Could someone please report back and tell me if the recovery is working as I might have uploaded a non working version.

I am downloading it now and will install it and get back to you in a couple minutes.
I have installed it successfully and it works so far, just installed the latest nightly with it. And yes the battery percentage is stuck at 66% and does not change but other than that so far i don't see any issues.

No I meant the way you guys normally flash like download from web and flash. Also try the flash zip button see if it works but I really meant the other one. Good suggestion @rignfool

Does this support the 'flash after update' directory?
Thank you WildFire and Jose for keeping the Vivid alive!
I just read about the charging bug, is this going to be updated with a fix or is this the last version for now?

I tried to flash the 9/30 nightly... But its borked... However...
When I tried to flash the 9/30 gapps from tkruzze... It failed... Bad updater it said...
Switched to 2.6.3.0... Flashed no problem... Checked md5sum... It passed...
Also... Could not successfully move a file from external_SD to sdcard with the file manager... And it was not a zip... It was no extension...
I had problems flashing gapps with this v2.8 as well, reverted back to 2.6 and the same file worked without a hitch

Team Win Recovery Project 2.4.3.0, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
Code:
#include
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this Recovery
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
Features
Ability to save custom recovery settings
Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll
XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout – true theming!
Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots
Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore
Ability to choose to compress backups – now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times) and much more
CHANGELOG for 2.5.0.0:
Special Note: If you are running a custom theme, you will likely need to remove that theme before updating to 2.5.0.0 as your custom theme will likely not be compatible with the new changes!
-Added scrollable partition lists for mount, backup, restore, wipe, and storage selection
-Add new SliderValue GUI element for selecting brightness and screen timeout (thanks to Tassadar)
-Re-work AOSP and TWRP code to improve license compatibility between GPL and Apache
-Added official theme for 1080x1920 portrait devices (HTC One m7, HTC DNA, HTC Butterfly, Oppo Find 5, Sony Xperia Z, etc)
-Fixed a problem with directory permissions on split archive backups (backups usually restored with no app data)
-Fixed a problem with md5 verification of backups
-Added a search function to libtar (thanks to kokotas)
-Improve handling of XML errors (fix permissions)
-Fixed handling of subpartitions
-Improvements to recovery.fstab flags
-Fixed a problem with decryption not being able to locate the decryption key in some situations
What's new in 2.4.4.0:
Added another libtar hardlink workaround to fix restore of some backups (usually related to Ubuntu Touch)
More fixes for the file selector
Switched from using busybox md5sum to a direct C function call
Fixed capturing the exit status of tar based backups/restore - TWRP will display that there was an error if there was one again
Update exFAT to latest commits
Added a build flag to disable using the ioctl for screen blanking
CHANGELOG for 2.4.3.0:
-Fixed 2 bugs related to restore, one dealing with mknod failures (by bigbiff) and one dealing with restoring hardlinks (by Dees_Troy)
NOTE: If your backups weren't restoring correctly in earlier 2.4.x versions they should restore correctly now. Hopefully you didn't delete those backups. If you're still having problems, run the restore, go to advanced and copy log, then give us the log. Complaints without logs will be rightfully ignored.
-Added a scroll bar to file selectors and listboxes courtesy of Tassadar
-Added libblkid for more accurate detection of file systems and can now detect exFAT properly thanks to bigbiff
-Added a screen dim effect 2 seconds before screen off on some devices
-Finally fixed file selector crash (one of the joys of working with multi-threaded software)
-Fixed loading of screen timeout setting during startup
-Improvements and bugfixes to screen timeout code
-Fixed persistence of the 24 hour / military time setting
CHANGELOG for 2.4.2.0:
-Add screen timeout - screen will turn off automatically after 60 seconds, saves battery and prevents screen burn-in especially on AMOLED devices
-Add a brightness setting (requires device specific setup and only some devices have been added)
-Add a root checker and offer to install SuperSU if the device isn't already rooted
-Add a write buffer to libtar backups, significant improvements to speeds when backing up to exFAT target, minor improvements for other file systems
-Check and offer to fix root permissions if broken
-Add an option for a 24 hour clock display instead of AM/PM (aka military time)
-Move stock recovery reflash check to occur during the reboot cycle
-Add support for some MTK6xxx devices
-Change libtar to vfork to help prevent memory problems
-Add a "clicked" effect to most buttons, file selector, and listbox
-Improve timezone listbox to be more like file selector (per pixel kinetic scrolling, etc)
-Remove some no longer used settings (Forced MD5 sum on zips, size checking on image backups)
-Other minor bugfixes and improvements
CHANGELOG for 2.4.1.0:
-Fixed a problem with mkdosfs that formatted sdcards to 2GB
-Fixed handoff between vfat and exFAT on devices where blkid didn't detect vfat (fixes some issues with mounting sdcards)
-Fixed problems with changing working directory on MD5 creation/checking that may have prevented unmounting
-Backups will now store a copy of the backup log after the backup is completed (only if backup is successful)
CHANGELOG for 2.4.0.0:
-Using libtar instead of busybox's tar for better control over tar file creation and breaking the 2GB barrier that busybox imposes (thanks to bigbiff)
-Support for exFAT formatted sdcards (also thanks to bigbiff)
-Support for decrypting Samsung TouchWiz encrypted devices including internal and external storage (special thanks to a3955269 for figuring it out)
-Improvements to OpenRecoveryScript including displaying a proper GUI while the script is running
-Added wipe cache and dalvik after ADB Sideload
-Replaced many system calls with their native C counterparts
-Fixed bugs in file manager where it would display an empty list after moving or deleting a folder
-Fixed AOSP recovery commands to run after decryption on encrypted devices
-Improvements for building TWRP in CM10.1
-Other minor bugfixes and improvements
NOTE: 2.4.0.0 is, as always, still compatible with your older backups!
CHANGELOG for 2.3.3.0:
-Fix renaming backups with a space in the name
-Add decrypt button to mount page if you cancel decryption during startup
-Added ignore blkid flag
-Fixed handling of MTD partitions during mount
-Fixed some keyboard mapping issues on 800x1280 layout

Re: [Recovery][WIP] TWRP v 2.4.1.0
Is there any bug at backup and restore?
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda premium
Wooha, it has a handy-dandy file manager as well, no need for aroma file manager!
I made a backup with compression, it says Backup Complete and under it Failed. I checked in file manager, it is indeed not a full backup.
I tried again without compression, it says Successful, looks it has all the files. Restore however fails (but at least it doesn't freak you out with rebooting like CWM lol). I attached the logs, maybe they are the same but just in case.
Mounting-unmounting external/internal USB is fine.
Other:
I liked the android animation in CWM, but oh well
I don't know if you can do something about it, or it's like that by default but the fonts look a bit fragmented, as if scaled badly or something. And some color option other than yellow would be nice, or just green or blue, makes me more relaxed when messing with recovery lol. - If I don't ask too much
Also on the info screen while backing up, the text is out of the screen, doesn't affect usability, just saying.
Question: does it backup kernel as well? because I read CWM even if it's bug-free does not do it, despite that it backups boot.img.

I will take a look at the issues soon. Try using option of skipping MD5Sum verification while restoring back up.Regular back and restore work flawlessly for me though. You can theme TWRP recovery anyway you want . Just need to do some xml editing. I will try to theme it as well , but only after some of the major issues get resolved .
PS: If you want I could make an option to flash the kernel without fastboot . Check this http://teamw.in/project/htcdumlock . I might implement it in the future
Link Updated Again. Changed Theme to stock blue instead of orange

Stock blue is indeed much more relaxed .
I've been hoping someone would get TWRP up and running for the phone . It is so much nicer enviroment to work in than cwm .
You gotta get it working with aroma though , I'm still using your Aroma for some of the tweaks in there :laugh:
Re: [Recovery][WIP] TWRP v 2.4.1.0

Awsome will flash right now
quick guide , will probably seem obvious to most but may help .
1-Boot into recovery (TRWP)
2-Press Backup button
3-Tick every box in the options at the top up to and including sd-ext(if you have an sd-ext)
4-don't enable compression
5-don't tick Skip MD5 generation (for now I will test it now in a mo and update)
6-tick USE EXTERNAL SD (i'm not shouting )
7-before you swipe to backup ..... press set backup name*
8-after writing the name of your backup press the go back button
9-swipe to back up
win:good:
*this is very handy it especially if you have a Nameless backup, a Revolution sense backup and a revolution sensless backup:good:
This is why I tick to save everything , you get the entire picture of your phone at that moment in time .
A nice thing about TWRP is that you don't-have-to-write-the-name-like-this-for-it-to-work you can write normally with spaces and it will work:goodat least that was one of the earlier fixes for the n7)
It also backups much faster than CWM
To restore
1- Boot into recovery
2-press Restore button
3-choose the named file you wish to restore
4- swipe to restore
done
Just checked all of this as I write and it works . The phone has restored my Test backup too , So all is well thankyou
hope this helps a few of you
** Only issue I've seen so far is that the buttons are sometimes unresponsive , usually the go back button and the choose which type of reboot buttons .after restore reboot button is unresponsive too .
Just checked backup with spaces between name (test two) and backup was successful as was restore . so all good there.
Re: [Recovery][WIP] TWRP v 2.4.1.0
Yeah, forgot to mention - the power off option doesn't seem to work in reboot section.All other options work though
The plus point is it restores backups fast
And great guide / review whoamigriffiths :good: . Will add it to the first post soon so people who are new to twrp can understand it better
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda app-developers app
Great recovery! I have tested it with the revolution aroma installer and it works flawlessly good job!
One little problem, the buttons can turn a little unresponsive but other wise it is perfect.
Keep up the good work!

Yep, I confirm too, it restores flawlessly without ticking compression and md5, and it's fast. Thanks man, this was much needed for a carefree tweaking lol! And thanks for the blue theme too
Sure this falshing kernel without fastboot would be good, anything makes things easier.
Does TWRP backup/restore kernel as well? I can see it restores boot.img, but I've read in numerous forums that CWM does that too, but actually leaves kernel alone even if it's bug free. So what's the case with TWRP?

I dont think TWRP can restore kernel directly without s-off. But with HTC_DUMLOCK addition it might be able to do this (need to check this in more detail)
The Good Recovery ... Thanks :good:
Thankyou
Worked brilliantly last night after flashing russells latest rom and finding no super su binaries. I had already deleted all my cwm backups , so had only TWRP to rely on .
And it past with flying colours . So thankyou very much :highfive:
Hey guys does the TWRP lock screen work(press the power button) in the current version I uploaded?
Also could some one check if enable compression works on /system and /data (select them one at a time while doing a backup) ?

I'll do a compress test now . let me check first post to see if I have most up to date version first .
Looks like you updated today ? I'll DL now and flash give me 15 mins to report back cos the kids are playing up lol (we all have man flu)
yup lock works :good: looks awsome
testing compression now . It started a compressed backup and I was thinking man this is slow (the bar was at half way) Now the screen has gone blank and the phone rebooted .
Checking whats going on now
Only file in the backup is system.ext4.win which is the last file in a normal backup (except for the system.ext4.win.MD5 file)
I tried backups and restoring too it works great, unless you compress it then it reboots. Also I superSu binary issues have been fixed on my roms I tested so yeah.

Over the course of the last year or so, bigbiff has worked to migrate various Java functions from Android's MTP implementation to bring you a fully C++ based MTP implementation that allows you to transfer files to both emulated storage and Micro SD cards. It's confirmed to work on various Nexus devices but we may have to make some changes on other devices to keep Windows happy. Windows is very picky about USB IDs and its drivers. We have tested it on Windows 7 and 8 as well as Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty. MTP is enabled by default, but we do toggle it off and on automatically during certain operations such as if you choose to wipe a storage partition. You can enable or disable MTP under the mount menu in TWRP. For more about what MTP is here.
Note: Due to a weird bug with our MTP setup, you cannot copy a zip file to the root of storage with Windows. You can change the .zip to something else like .txt and then copy it to the root and rename the file back to .zip once it's copied to the device. You can also copy the zip into any subfolder.
Command line support is also now available. You can perform various OpenRecoveryScript commands via the adb shell. Depending on what you are doing you may wish to do a "twrp set tw_mtp_enabled 0" and then reboot to prevent the MTP auto toggle from killing your adb interface. You can use this option to create and restore backups, wipe, install zips, and more. Via adb shell, type twrp followed by a space then enter the OpenRecoveryScript command and hit enter. Find more OpenRecoveryScript commands here.
CHANGELOG for 2.7.1.0:
-Add GUI option to change or repair file systems on individual partitions. The change is destructive so backup your data including internal sdcard first. This option should make it a little easier to migrate a device from ext4 -> f2fs, for instance. You will find this option under Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, then select only one partition and then press the Repair or Change File System button. If a developer has added f2fs support for your device and we don't have it in TWRP, please contact me via PM to arrange for it to be added.
-Various bugfixes to backup and restore
-Improvements to USB storage handling
-Added a class to search for files to make finding the correct brightness file automatic in most cases
-Various other bugfixes and tweaks
CHANGELOG for 2.7.0.0:
-Faster graphics rendering by disabling alpha blending on fully opaque objects thanks to Tassadar
-Allow sideloading from /tmp on encrypted devices
-Check for a crypto footer before asking for a password to prevent user confusion
-Additional checks for validity to auto generated backup names
-Text wrap in the console output
-Proper caps lock support in the keyboard
-Mouse support via USB OTG for devices with a broken digitizer
-Improve scanning of storage locations for OpenRecoveryScript
-Haptic feedback for buttons, keyboard, and vibration at the end of longer running actions thanks to Samer Diab
-Fixed ext4 wiping when no selinux contexts are defined for that partition (e.g. sd-ext)
-Update SuperSU to 1.93 and improve installation process
-Added selinux contexts restoration to fix permissions
-Load RTC offset on Qualcomm devices to fix the date/time in recovery
-USB Mass Storage fixes Add SELinux support checking
-Add Disk Usage class to better handle excluded folders (e.g. Google Music cache)
-Add 4.4 decrypt support
-Add some toolbox utilities to TWRP (namely to support SELinux functions not supported in busybox)
-Various SELinux fixes and bug fixes
Note: 2.7 marks the first time that we are dropping support for older devices. We are doing this because of the SELinux support needed to install 4.4 Kit Kat ROMs. The non-TWRP parts of the recovery image have to be built in at least a 4.1 tree and the kernel that is included in the recovery image has to support writing SELinux contexts. We don't own most of the devices that we support so we depend on outside testers and developers to help us update devices. In many cases we can't find someone readily. Come to #twrp on Freenode if you want to help bring your device up to date. You can tell right away if your device will support 4.4 ROMs in 2.7. Boot TWRP and press the console button (the square-ish button either in the bottom middle or upper right) to view the console output. If it doesn't say "Full SELinux support" in the console, then your device still needs some work. Help us help you.
CHANGELOG for 2.6.3.0:
-Proper backup and restore of SELinux contexts (thanks to Tassadar)
-Pull in some ROM information for backup name generation
-Merge all recent patches from AOSP bringing TWRP up to date with Android 4.3
-Add 1200x1920 theme (thanks to Tassadar)
-A few other fixes and tweaks
CHANGELOG for 2.6.1.0:
-Initial SELinux support (only a few devices, need testers so come by IRC if your device doesn't have it and needs it)
-Initial support for f2fs file system formatting (Moto X)
-Update SuperSU install for 4.3 ROMs
-Fixed a permissions bug on files created during backup
-Fixed a bug that caused TWRP to not wait for compressed backups to finish causing 0 byte files and md5sums to not match
-Fixed decryption of encrypted data so that both TouchWiz and AOSP decryption are possible
-Ignore lost+found folder during backup and size calculations
-Various other minor bug fixes and tweaks
CHANGELOG for 2.6.0.0:
Special Note: If you are running a custom theme, you will likely need to remove that theme before updating to 2.6.0.0 as your custom theme will likely not have some of the new changes visible (e.g. you won't be able to encrypt a backup)!
-Can encrypt a backup to prevent theft of private data from your backup files
-Updated graphics / icon courtesy of shift
-Updated exFAT to latest commits
-Fixed a problem with Samsung TouchWiz decryption
-Update SuperSU binary
-Fixed saving of backup partitions list
-Fixed saving of last used zip install folder
-Fixed backup of datadata on devices that use a separate partition for datadata
-Fixed some issues with the advanced wipe list (android_secure, can now wipe internal storage on data/media deivces and wipe data on the advanced list no longer formats the entire data partition)
-Fixed some problems with partitioning a SD card
-Various other bug fixes and tweaks
Notes about encrypted backups:
Why encrypt your backups? -- Most people store their backups on the device. Any app that has permission to access storage could potentially read your backup files and try to harvest your data. Encrypted backups also provide an added layer of security if you move your backups to other storage devices or to the cloud. The encryption that we're using is probably not strong enough for enterprise level security, but should be strong enough to make it significantly difficult to get to your data.
Encryption is using OpenAES which uses AES 128-bit cbc encryption. If you happen to use a longer password (over 16 characters) then the encryption strength improves to 192 or 256 bits. Do not forget your password. If you forget your password you will be unable to restore your backup. We don't encrypt the entire backup. Encryption is very CPU intensive and can be fairly slow even when we spread the workload over multiple cores even on the latest high-end devices. To ensure that encrypted backups don't take forever, we don't encrypt any other partitions besides /data and in /data we don't encrypt /data/app (or other app related directories where apks are stored) and we don't encrypt dalvik cache.

open your terminal and cd to where loki_flash and twrp.lok is
now run these commands:
adb push loki_flash /data/local/tmp/loki_flash
adb push twrp.lok /data/local/tmp/twrp.lok

The readme has no carriage returns in it and is confusing for someone like me who hasn't used adb at all. Can you list the instructions here?
EDIT: Nevermind. It opens find in WordPad.
EDIT 2: Worked like a charm! I had to re-select the type of USB connection I had, but once I did that, 'adb devices' showed the tablet and I was able to push and install TWRP!

There were no hard returns in the instrux, so I want to confirm:

adb push twrp.lok /data/local/tmp/twrp.lok
adb shellsucd /data/local/tmpchmod 777 loki_flash./loki_flash recovery /data/local/tmp/twrp.lok
The last line seems wonky with that period after "loki_flash." Not sure if there's a line break there somewhere.

The last line seems wonky with that period after "loki_flash." Not sure if there's a line break there somewhere.

Great, thanks very much! I was a bit nervous when it looked like it corrupted the bootloader, but it's great to finally have a custom recovery!

Doh! That was it. Thanks!
Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
Code:

* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

CHANGELOG for 2.8.0.0:
Fix a bug that caused weird graphics and touch issues
Add MTP support to recovery thanks mostly to bigbiff with a little help from Dees_Troy
Add command line capabilities - you can now execute various TWRP features via adb instead of the touchscreen
Add support for color in the console and give error, warning, and highlight lines different colors
Track backup and restore progress based on file sizes to provide a much more accurate indication of progress
Improve handling of /misc thanks to mdmower
Improve setting of time on Qualcomm devices thanks to [NUT]
Allow using images on slidervalue GUI objects thanks to Tassadar
Allow using variables and addition and subtraction in variables for easier theming
Add support for 1440x2560, 280x280, and 320x320 resolutions and update 240x240
Allow ui.xml file to include additional xml files to help break up the theme and make TWRP easier to maintain
Other minor fixes and improvements
Over the course of the last year or so, bigbiff has worked to migrate various Java functions from Android's MTP implementation to bring you a fully C++ based MTP implementation that allows you to transfer files to both emulated storage and Micro SD cards. It's confirmed to work on various Nexus devices but we may have to make some changes on other devices to keep Windows happy. Windows is very picky about USB IDs and its drivers. We have tested it on Windows 7 and 8 as well as Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty. MTP is enabled by default, but we do toggle it off and on automatically during certain operations such as if you choose to wipe a storage partition. You can enable or disable MTP under the mount menu in TWRP. For more about what MTP is here.
Note: Due to a weird bug with our MTP setup, you cannot copy a zip file to the root of storage with Windows. You can change the .zip to something else like .txt and then copy it to the root and rename the file back to .zip once it's copied to the device. You can also copy the zip into any subfolder.
Command line support is also now available. You can perform various OpenRecoveryScript commands via the adb shell. Depending on what you are doing you may wish to do a "twrp set tw_mtp_enabled 0" and then reboot to prevent the MTP auto toggle from killing your adb interface. You can use this option to create and restore backups, wipe, install zips, and more. Via adb shell, type twrp followed by a space then enter the OpenRecoveryScript command and hit enter. Find more OpenRecoveryScript commands here.
CHANGELOG for 2.7.1.0:
-Add GUI option to change or repair file systems on individual partitions. The change is destructive so backup your data including internal sdcard first. This option should make it a little easier to migrate a device from ext4 -> f2fs, for instance. You will find this option under Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, then select only one partition and then press the Repair or Change File System button. If a developer has added f2fs support for your device and we don't have it in TWRP, please contact me via PM to arrange for it to be added.
-Various bugfixes to backup and restore
-Improvements to USB storage handling
-Added a class to search for files to make finding the correct brightness file automatic in most cases
-Various other bugfixes and tweaks
CHANGELOG for 2.7.0.0:
-Faster graphics rendering by disabling alpha blending on fully opaque objects thanks to Tassadar
-Allow sideloading from /tmp on encrypted devices
-Check for a crypto footer before asking for a password to prevent user confusion
-Additional checks for validity to auto generated backup names
-Text wrap in the console output
-Proper caps lock support in the keyboard
-Mouse support via USB OTG for devices with a broken digitizer
-Improve scanning of storage locations for OpenRecoveryScript
-Haptic feedback for buttons, keyboard, and vibration at the end of longer running actions thanks to Samer Diab
-Fixed ext4 wiping when no selinux contexts are defined for that partition (e.g. sd-ext)
-Update SuperSU to 1.93 and improve installation process
-Added selinux contexts restoration to fix permissions
-Load RTC offset on Qualcomm devices to fix the date/time in recovery
-USB Mass Storage fixes Add SELinux support checking
-Add Disk Usage class to better handle excluded folders (e.g. Google Music cache)
-Add 4.4 decrypt support
-Add some toolbox utilities to TWRP (namely to support SELinux functions not supported in busybox)
-Various SELinux fixes and bug fixes
Note: 2.7 marks the first time that we are dropping support for older devices. We are doing this because of the SELinux support needed to install 4.4 Kit Kat ROMs. The non-TWRP parts of the recovery image have to be built in at least a 4.1 tree and the kernel that is included in the recovery image has to support writing SELinux contexts. We don't own most of the devices that we support so we depend on outside testers and developers to help us update devices. In many cases we can't find someone readily. Come to #twrp on Freenode if you want to help bring your device up to date. You can tell right away if your device will support 4.4 ROMs in 2.7. Boot TWRP and press the console button (the square-ish button either in the bottom middle or upper right) to view the console output. If it doesn't say "Full SELinux support" in the console, then your device still needs some work. Help us help you.
CHANGELOG for 2.6.3.0:
-Proper backup and restore of SELinux contexts (thanks to Tassadar)
-Pull in some ROM information for backup name generation
-Merge all recent patches from AOSP bringing TWRP up to date with Android 4.3
-Add 1200x1920 theme (thanks to Tassadar)
-A few other fixes and tweaks

I have an i9506 (ks01lte) with solks CM11 installed, the first official nightly from 2 days ago. It hangs where it says 'Recovery booting.....', where I still can see the S4 logo.
I did not check adb yet, because I thought, that recovery is not loading at all. Is there anything I should try, if adb is running?

Can I then just flash a 4.4 kernel over my 4.3 kernel? If yes, which one would you recommend?
The kernel comes shipped with every recovery. Its the 4.4 bootloader you need. Just flash a full stock rom once. You'll get a new baseband/modem and such as well.

Do I really need to flash full stock to get the 4.4 bootloader? It's a long procedure to have CM11 back then. Isn't it possible to flash just the bootloader? When I do a full backup I have always a file called boot.img, isn't that the bootloader?

The bootloader comes with complementary data like baseband and other partitions. If something's not correct it might brick your phone. I don't recommend that unless you know exactly what you're doing.
You can try to backup your rom (/data) manually during runtime via ADB (split by 2GB):
Code:
tar -czvpf - /data | split -b 2000m - /storage/sdcard1/databackup.tar.gz
/data holds the internal /sdcard as well (/data/media/0). You can check the size by this:
Code:
busybox du -sh /data/media/0
If you think its too large and you want to exclude it from the backup use this:
Code:
tar --exclude='/data/media/0' -czvpf - /data | split -b 2000m - /storage/sdcard1/databackup.tar.gz
And once you have TWRP running you can install CM11, format /data (just factory reset) and restore with this/adb:
Code:
cat /external_sd/databackup.tar.gz* | tar xzpvf - -C /
You might lose internal /sdcard on stock rom install (not sure though..) so i've chosen /storage/sdcard1 (external_sd) as output folder for the backup (better safe than sorry...).
Thanks a lot, I'll try this and let you know.
Added some options to exclude backing up internal sdcard.
Hmm.. wait. I don't think it will work as it will exceed the 4GB max file size barrier of FAT32. Will look up some split options in a second...
