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.

Thanks very much for this! Great work! That is really nice that there is now official support for awifi/v500.
I assume the images are bumped?
Are the kernel sources for official twrp using your kernel sources?
Sources
This is the device repo for awifi/v500: https://github.com/TeamWin/android_device_lge_v500
The kernel in awifi/v500 repo was compiled from here, which is V50030A based.
This is the device repo for palman/v510: https://github.com/TeamWin/android_device_lge_palman
The kernel in palman/v510 repo is from 5.1 official build.
So, now we should be able to just flash the .img file directly within TWRP to update.

Yes!
The repo for v510 is going to be renamed since it doesn't need to follow the "cyanogen" way, which is using the model name instead of the device name. That's why there is a little confusion with the names v500/awifi and v510/palman. The GPE repo will be named palman (which is the correct way) and the non GPE repo will stay as v500 (it should be called awifi), since almost every custom rom uses "cyanogen" way. If we wanted the non GPE to be named correctly we would need the devs of every custom rom to add an assert to their boardconfig so both, v500 and awifi, would be valid at installation time. It's just one line change.
Do we need to have TWRP recovery already flashed or can I just flash this recovery in the stock 20D with root?
Do we only need root access and flash the recovery using the TWRP manager from Play Store in stock 20D?
fefifofum, firstly, thanks for making an official TWRP for the V510.
Secondly, can you please enable backup of recovery partition?

There are three ways to install TWRP explained at the installation details. Two of them require root and the third one requires twrp >= 2.8.4.0. Choose the one that is easier for you, they all should work.

I could try, but it needs to go through gerrit. Why would you need to backup recovery partition?

It's not strictly needed, but good to have for completeness. For example, if I flash a new version of TWRP and then find that's there a bug, I could just restore the previous version from backup. Of course, I could always just use fastboot or flashify to flash the old version, but it's nice to have the option.

I know, but I just want to be shure that this time I don't brick the tablet.
So you confirm that when we are stock with version 20D we just need root access? It's not necessary anymore a loky exploitable aboot?
Sorry for being a pain in the ass!
EDIT: Thank you @fefifofum for your work
I have installed the TWRP manager and selected install TWRP. Which version should I flash? The latest 2.8.1.0? And the twpr - awifi. img or the openrecovery - twrp - awifi. img?
I'm on stock 20d version with root. Thanks in advance.

Old versions will still be available to download, so if a new version had issues you could always download and install an older version. No need to backup recovery I guess...

We don't need loki anymore, you just need to be on kitkat bootloader.

It looks like TWRP manager didn't update the images for the gpad. I will talk to them so they fix it and remove the old images, there should only be one version available: 2.8.6.0. Until then, please use the "dd" installation method.

I think I'll wait for the TWRP manager update.

Glad to hear that! It seems the app TWRP manager cannot reach the new servers where official builds of TWRP are, so it's better not to use the app installation method to avoid installing old versions.
@fefifofum thanks a lot!!! I'm using slim alpha 4, what bootloader should I flash to solve the backlight problem? Thanks again
Pd: use rashr app to flash twrp, download .img and flash from internal memory, no problems. Don't use twrp manager.

I guess V50010B bootloader is what you need, but then you will probably have brightness issues while using this recovery.

This one is official (without the quotes), doesn't require loki and is adapted to kitkat bootloader backlight. The other one you mention is adapted to jellybean bootloader backlight and requires loki. Just install the one that fits your needs.

Hi everybody! I wanted a better battery life for my Z1 (1 screen hour at 75% :crying: ) so i flashed the CM11 latest snapshot, (as we all know, the LP builds has a very horrible battery management) and it worked, but when i switched from MX ROM to CM11 i lost my recovery (dual recovery) and it were replaced with CWM, i tried to install TWRP with some apps like Rashr, Flashify, ROM manager, Multirom manager and many others but it wasnt successful, and now im trying to flash a stock build of LP but flashtool gives to me this error:
- root this bundle is not valid -
I tried with a KK build but it was the same result. So I am stuck in CM, i dont know what more can i do... Can anyone help me?

KK custom roms have recovery inside kernel. You have recovery in your FOTA or Recovery partition. The in-kernel recovery won't let you start Fota recovery, no matter what you try to install. Latest LP roms, as well as MM don't have recovery in kernel. So, you want to fastboot an LP kernel that has no recovery: fastboot flash boot boot.img. Then fastboot TWRP: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. After that, you can boot into TWRP recovery and install whatever you want...

Thanks a lot! Ill try it
At the beginning, please forgive me the quality of my English.
Me and other friends using c6903 have posted on the forum about trouble with running Nougat ROMs:
- [ROM][7.1.X][27/07/17][STOCK-CAMERA][3.4 KERNEL][TESTING] LineageOS 14.1 - UNOFFICIAL
- [ROM] [7.1.2] [OMS] [OFFICIAL] [Honami] Resurrection Remix Nougat v5.8.3 [01/08/2017]
- [ROM] [7.1.2] [Substratum/OMS] [UNOFFICIAL] [Honami] Android Ice Cold Project 12.1
For example LinageOS 14.1.
I flashed build from 11/07 without any problems.
Everythings worked fine, but when i try to flash newest build I encountered a big problem.
Bootanimation continues 2-3 sec. and phone turn off [check plz video].
Then only the launch button was active.
Everything I do exactly the same as in 11/07 build.
Why rom can't run?
The situation applies to all the above versions.
Resurrection Remix Nougat from 28/06 booted fine too.
Newer versions not...
One of friends - MIcHiJK - suggested that this could be a problem with changing the screen for "fake".
Me and him changed screens probably for counterfeiting.
Maybe someone else did it and have this problem?
....but why build from 11/07 (LinageOS), 26/08 (RR) and 20/06 (ACIP) booted without any problems?? In my case change screen was earlier.
What have I done so far to solve the problem.
- used TWRP 3.0.0 and 3.0.2
- Always full wiped (a few times format internal storage using twrp too)
- flashed roms when using Cyanogenmod 12.1
- flashed roms when using stock .236
- restored software using EMMa and Flashtool, then root (kingroot), flashed twrp by fastboot, full wipe, flash rom - without result
- used others kernels referenced by creators roms (flashed after installation rom).
Nothing worked.
I know I'm not alone. Many guys have problem like me.
Is anyone able to give a solution?
May God bless guy which will solve our problems!

Hello to all ppl which had this problem.
Since I replace my broken original xperia z1 Display, I wasn´t able to boot any of the new Nougat rom releases.
I solved this problem with a new Kernel.
Super Lamic Posted this Kernel to test the Battery Life but with this Kernel the problem was solved and I was able to run the new Releases on my fake Display.
Kernel Link: https://mega.nz/#!RN1nFYRT!546WMDdM2ToJEeZlleKTjS-TdR54rkYiOGKUDDWQ-t0
Install new LineageOS build on your xperia z1 with TWRP 3.1 (with 3.0 it wasnt able to install the boot.img).
Before you reboot select images, boot and flash the boot.img.
Then the new build should run without problems.
On other roms like Resurrection Remix it endet in invinite boot so I was just able to run normal Lineage.
I hope it helped someone. Im still interested what the devs changed that causes this problem. And I hope there will be improvments in future that this problem wont happen anymore.
same problem for me like OP. Would be interesting whats the reason for this behaviour that some nougat roms don't run on phones with replaced display. for me some still run, but then i have the problem that recovery is not available.
For those wo will flash AICP maybe this solution will work in RR too.
In normal Lineage it worked when i flashed cm12.1 Nouagt Kernel after flashing LOS 14.1.
But for RR or AICP it ended in infinite boot. Here is how I managed to get it work.
1. Download AICP (Latest Version [2017/08/01]) then download AICP (Version 2017/06/20).
2. Delete 'boot.img' from the Latest Version zip and put the 'boot.img' from the older relase into the Latest
3. Boot into TWRP 3.1 or 3.0, Wipe all and flash your Latest AICP zip with the older boot.img.
4. Boot phone. The z1 will show you just the Sony Logo. I waited some Minutes and powered off with power + volume up.
5. Connect phone in fastboot mode on PC and flashed cm12.1 Nougat Kernel.
6. Type 'Fastboot Reboot', the phone Turns on with the newer Boot screen where xperia stands on the bottom. You will finally see AICP Boot Animation and after some time rom boots.

Just Install Recovery via Fastboot. If you dont know how to do this you need to set up android sdk. You will find many tutorials in the internet.

How did you installed the rom?
From which rom you came and which recovery did you used and how did you installed the recover?
different ways, but mostly with my standard custom-rom Tesla which is on Android 5.1.1. TWRP is on 3.1 which i install via cmd (fastboot flash recovery) cause build in recovery of tesla is broken.
Or i go over latest stock with dualrecovery, flash boot.img of the custom-rom (wich work) and then flash rom. but still recovery is gone after that.
@Aaskereija
I can tell you how I installed. I never lost my recovery. I came from xproject rom and I had nuts dual recovery. I flashed via fastboot advanced kernel, rebooted directly into inbuild TWRP 3.1, wiped all and flashed nougat rom. I had no recover so I flashed via fastboot official TWRP 3.0 and now I have a recovery. Since I installed TWRP one Time i never done it again. Everytime I flash a new rom it's still there. Maybe you try some different ways to install a nougat rom cuz it should work we all have the same device. Another question. Can you give me link to TWRP 3.1 for honami. I can't find TWRP 3.1 for z1 I used it just with advanced kernel. I just can find official TWRP on the internet witch is outdated
Guys, you don't have to create threads for this. I'll have an aftermarket display too, so I'll be forced to fix it anyway. And I have an idea what can be wrong...

Android Sdk put twrp.img in platform tools folder then open CMD in this foder, fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img.
I asked about twrp cuz in advanced kernel is TWRP 3.1 inbuild but I can't find just the twrp 3.1 IMG without kernel. Strange.
Long time ago, I switched to CM12.1, and I figured I would give a try to CarbonROM (Lineage = CM's successor and I used CM and didn't like it much, omnirom = too new and probably buggy, carbonrom = still maintained and "older").
Here's what I did so far:
- downgraded to 23.0.A.2.93 (4.4.4) (flashed ftf with flashtool)
- rooted it using giefroot 3.1
- installed twrp using another tool with an installer (http://nut.xperia-files.com/)
- then upgraded to pre-rooted version of .291 D5803_23.5.A.1.291_1289-7524_R5D_PreRooted_RecRoot_v4_SuperSU_276.zip, which comes with TWRP 3.0.2.0 (did that using twrp I had just installed)
Then my plan was to upgrade directly to CarbonRom by flashing from TWRP, but it gives me the error 7, so I figured I'd just upgrade TWRP but:
- tried upgrading TWRP (followed instructions here:https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/d5803-z3c-aries-twrp3-0-t3543113), using lineage or omni recovery: will flash "successfully" with fastboot, but when I actually go into recovery mode it's the same old twrp version
- tried flashing the img directly from old twrp version, both recoveries, and same results: when I reboot to recovery, it's the same old version.
I'm therefore stuck right now and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, nor how I could work around this issue.
Installed twrp 3.1.1 from zip, which allowed me to install Carbon.
Still trying to figure out why flashing didn't work, and why the zip did. Anybody can tell me?
Edit: phone is a D5803. unlocked bootloader, TA partition backed up (just in case), i have latest flashtool, drivers are installed, I know how to go into fastboot, I know how to flash a zip...
Try to flash FOTAKernel instead of recovery
Example:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash FOTAKernel "recovery-Lineage 14.1.img"
Hi all,
I flashed a (now, very old) version of Epic ROM (v7.5.4) on my MIX shortly after its release. I used it as my daily for about 2 years and never had the desire to update beyond that, as it included everything I needed.
Soon, my MIX is no longer going to be my daily, so I figured I'd explore what newer ROMs were available. The highest usable version of TWRP on my device is 3.0.2-0 (MrRaines) and any attempt to flash anything remotely modern to my device either reports an 'Error Code 7' or reads [This package is intended for "lithium" devices, your device is type " "].
I've attempted to update my TWRP (via the Official TWRP App) to a newer version, and that renders the recovery useless, as it has no touch screen functionality; so I have to revert to 3.0.2.
What do I have to do to get my device recognized as type "lithium," so that I can go about flashing newer stuff, and how do I go about resolving the touchscreen issue?
Thanks
Mr. Raines TWRP will not let you flash a newer TWRP.
You have to fastboot flash a new TWRP from a Windows computer.
After that you should have no problem.
Official TWRP is dead, you should use the latest updated one by Blunden-Raupe
Flashing is not the issue
I can flash any TWRP (including the one you mentioned) just fine using the app or using the fastboot method. It doesn't matter - the touch screen doesn't work on any newer [than 3.0.2-0] versions of TWRP.
I understand that I need a newer recovery to flash newer stuff and I know how to flash a new recovery. My issue is that I cannot get from the old recovery to a new WORKING recovery because of touchscreen support.
Do I need to go find the stock version of MIUI that came with the phone, revert to that, and then use upgrade to a newer OEM Xiaomi ROM to achieve "lithium" status (the lack of which is what I'm assuming is causing touch issues with newer TWRP versions)?
You probably have to do something like that, so the TWRP matches the firmware to get touch working.
It has been such a long time since I had these problems so I don't remember exactly.
Now yshalsager has made firmwares available without having to flash an entire rom, you could try that.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/devices-xiaomi-firmware-updater-t3741446
Addendum:
I would either fastboot flash the latest official rom, and then flash the latest TWRP, or -
try flashing via TWRP the latest TWRP and firmware zip file at the same time.

A link to Blunden-Raupes most recent TWRP is on a previous page in that thread.
The official TWRP is not supported, does not work.
