Hi!
I have a Nook HD+ running CM 12.1 (Android 5.1.1). The tablet is not rooted. Right now I have TWRP v2.7.1.0 installed, but would like to update to a newer version.
Installing v2.7.1.0 was a breeze. I booted into recovery mode (ClockWorkMod at the time), then flashed an Ovation TWRP ZIP file that I downloaded online. Looking for the most recent Ovation version, it seems it's only available as an IMG file. I can't find a version of TWRP more recent than v2.7.1.0 for Ovation in a ZIP format. Since the tablet is not rooted, I can't flash the newer version using Flashify or similar apps (as far as I can tell, that is) since they all require root access. And I can't flash an IMG file with v2.7.1.0, since that feature wasn't included until a later version (v2.8.5.0 I think). Therein lies the problem. I need a newer version to update, but I can't update until I have a newer version!
I've struggled with the suggested methods of installing TWRP from an IMG file, and would really like to simply flash a ZIP file (I'm already pretty good at doing that). So I've come up with a possible method that sounds too easy and too good to be true. Examining the ZIP folder for v2.7.1.0 (using Linux Archive Manager), I can see that there is a recovery IMG file and a folder labeled META-INF. If I replaced the v2.7.10 recovery IMG file with a more recent TWRP IMG file and left the META-INF file as is, would that work? Or, does the META-INF folder only support v2.7.1.0?
Thanks for your help ... and for not laughing at my possibly nutty idea

I have successfully updated flashable recovery zip files (for both the Nook NT and Nook HD+) with more updated recovery images by using an archive manager tool (mostly Windows 7-zip) to swap the recovery img files, just as you're contemplating -- see my brief discussion of this at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71402570&postcount=270.
There is a possibility that the update-binary and updater-script in the given flashable zip are not compatible with the newer recovery file image (in which case one would get an error trying to flash it) but I have yet to encounter it, presumably because the versions of old and new recovery images involved have been relative close to one another.

Thanks for your response. You told me exactly what I needed to know.
I have viewed D. Andrei Măceș dropbox in the past, but I neglected to check it for TWRP updates (my bad). I'll keep this in mind the next time I want to explore new possibilities for my HD+.
The idea of creating my own zip was a temptation that I couldn't resist (since I was now feeling confident that I wouldn't brick my tablet, blow up Pittsburgh, or be responsible for something equally catastrophic). So, instead of downloading a zip file from the dropbox, I used Linux Archive Manager (I switched to Linux Mint some time ago to escape the more-frequent-than-I-could-bear crashes with Windows), to delete the file named recovery.img in the v2.7.1.0 zip, then inserted a recovery.img file for TWRP v3.1.1.0 in it's place. It worked perfectly, and I feel like a genius (I'm very easily impressed)!
Thanks for letting me know that my idea wasn't as dumb as I feared it might be.

Hello,
I tried using the TWRP 3.0.1.0 - ovation and 2.8.7.5. and they both receive the status 7 error:
"This package is for device: ovation ; this device is .
E: Error in /external+sd/twrp-3.0.1-0-ovation.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted"
I currently run on CWM Recovery 6.0.4.6, with cyanogenbootloader, lineage os 14.1. Unfortunately I cannot turn off my device (Nook HD+) no matter what, it keeps turning itself on until it empties battery (if I don't pay attention).
I keep trying to install the zips from CWM Recovery but I cannot do it.
Is there any way for me to install TWRP from CWM?
Thank you

Did you use one of the flashable TWRP zip files from https://www.mediafire.com/#6a4rivb8kkdfu?

Did you tried holding down the power button for 30+ sec?
Thank you for the answer.
1. The link doesn't work (https://www.mediafire.com/#6a4rivb8kkdfu?) leads me to an upload page.
2. I tried all the options I could find online. If I let it be for 1 week (I use it for reading and sometimes youtube) it turns itself on at some point and the battery goes empty. And it is so hard to turn it on again. When I plug it for charging the battery and is completely empty, the led stays green - instead of orange - for a long time and is not responsive to anything I do until it reaches 80%+ , so I let it be for 2hrs while plugged.
3. What I try to do is actually root it for overclocking or make it a little bit faster because it lags in every thing I do with it. Although in some variants of the Android which I installed over the years it used to be more responsive.
Unfortunately I cannot root it because CWM doesn't recognize the install of SuperSU zip from Lineage website. Do you have any advice on that?
Thanks

Thank you very much! You really helped me with this one!
I just did it! Flashed it with the cwm.flashable.twrp zip from your link!
I run now the TWRP 3.0.1-0.
I couldn't flash any higher versions (3.2.x) directly from this installed version
Anyway my booting time is faster and so far (1min time) the turning on/off procedure works normal, as it should be.
What lineage OS version is the best one for the nook hd+?
I just installed the 14.1 version from the lnos-ovation-ota-NJH47F.181223.zip found at: https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww/folder/3332706778
This version, however, has landscape mode as default viewing mode and it keeps spinning here and there.
At the moment I find myself in the latest stage of my process: rooting the device so I can try and overclock it.
Trying to install the official lineage "addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip" , from their website (https://download.lineageos.org/extras), but it doesn't work.
I mean it installs it successfully in the TWRP recovery. It is enabled in the developer options for both Apps and Adb. But the root checker app says it is not rooted.
Is there a proper way to root it? If so could you please share a solution when you have time?
Also any ideas on how to properly overclock (make the tablet a little snappier, besides the animation scale option from dev options)?
Cheers!

There should be an option in TWRP to "flash image" you can use to directly flash .img binary of a newer TWRP version.

You should be able to disable auto-rotation in Settings->Display.

Try disabling and exit Settings->Developer Options, then come back and re-enable it.

My device is with default landscape. If I disable it it stays in landscape and never goes to portrait.

It still doesn't work.
Thanks for the overall guidance!
So I have everything required to install SuperSU, i even got the Config just in case
and when i flash the zip file using TWRP it says that the installation was completed with no errors
when i reboot i find out that my devices isn't rooted.
So i tried again with flashing the config, same issue
Then I installed the SuperSU app from google play, then tried flashing the zip file and when i reboot, the app was deleted and same thing. No Root
Need help
I download Magisk and No Verity from http://www.desinerd.co.in/how-to-huawei-p20-pro-root-twrp-recovery/.
I have TWRP official installed 3.2.1 with security disabled on the EMUI. I'm trying to install the Magisk and No Verity but I can't find the zip files in the file system. Where is the Download folder located in the file system? Do I have to move the files somewhere else in order to access it from TWRP? I read that the Download folder is in /sdcard, but there are multiple folders with random letters and numbers, like maybe it's encrypted or something?
If I'm rooting wrong, can you tell me how to root?
I tried using the Patched ramdisk of Magisk, but it didn't do anything after reboot and Root Check says not rooted, hence, that's why I'm following this guide to see if this works.
Same
Did you find out how to root as I'm having the same problem
Install the unofficial TWRP. Remove fingerprint/password/pin etc then try again. TWRP doesn't decrypt when they're active.
Hi, having the same issue with TWRP (twrp-3.2.2-0-charlotte.img and twrp-3.2.1-0-charlotte.img) from dl.twrp.me/charlotte/.
How can I repair it? Cant flash Magisk.
Thanks
i was flashed with twrp custom recovery by using Odin tool . But when I enter the twrp menu ...
I was not able to find the magisk zip file
Even though i put it my internal storage before . But it was not showing twrp menu
After flashing with twrp recovery. I cannot acess my storage of m20 device in my laptop . Is there any way put magisk zip to internal storage of m20 device ..
Please help me if solution exist . Sorry for bad english
ever heard of adb? you can push files to phone, or pull files out of device.
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
twrp also has command line tool to install zip files without touch screen.
https://twrp.me/faq/openrecoveryscript.html
but note the way you're trying to install Magisk is outdated, most likely you're following any random unofficial tutorial. according to official installation instructions, the whole ROM has to be patched from Magisk apk.
