Attention:
You can find the updated TWRP recoveries by @DJNoXD in his thread here!
Remember that you can donate to TWRP here: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2​
This thread is deprecated.
Old content:
I have been asked to create an own thread for the TWRP recovery I compiled for the new bootloader, so here you go.
Personally I prefer TWRP over CWM, but that's for everybody to choose on their own.
We got official TWRP support for the Optimus 2x - but only for the old bootloader. You can use the GooManager app to flash the recovery (see below).
I adapted and compiled TWRP for the new bootloader and tested it for quite a while without a single problem.
Additionally I added a flashable zip recovery installer for the old bootloader if someone prefers that over the use of GooManager.
TWRP is NOT my work, but the work from TeamWin under the lead of Dees_Troy.
If you like TWRP you can donate to TeamWin here: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2​
Bugs?:
If you have any issues grab a log, it's really easy: Advanced -> Copy Log to SD. It will copy the log to your external sdcard.
You can post it in here, then I'll review it and forward it to Dees_Troy if it contains an error.
Or contact TWRP directly via their contact form: http://www.teamw.in/contact
I'm not interested in any complaints or bug reports that do not contain a log! Seriously, just don't.
Remember: I'm compiling this for my personal use and am sharing it with you. I don't care if you use it or not, you're free to use CWM or whatever other recovery is out there.​

Installation:
These files are flashable zips, just flash them with your current recovery.
If you want to flash the recovery manually, extract the img files from the zips, push it to the SDCard, open the Terminal Emularot and type:
old bootloader:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/openrecovery-twrp-oldbl-p990.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7
new bootloader:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery-TWRP-newbl.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8

Team Win Recovery Project 2.3, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. 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.

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.
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
CHANGELOG for 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!

TWRP does support a great theme engine, see here: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2themers
If you know of nice themes for our HDPI (480x800) device or created your own please post them here
Personally I'd love to get the Holo Theme by thecoby xdhpi theme to get ported to our hdpi device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942309
I don't have time to do that at the moment, so I'm posting it here if someone is interested in doing it.
If not I'll do it once I find the time.
Thanks to aldyu we do have the Holo Dark Theme now fully functional for our device!
Check out his post here and don't forget to press thanks!
Installation:
Download the theme, rename it to ui.zip, create the folder /TWRP/theme at the internal SDCard and put the zip into it.

Great! i tried twrp when you posted in thread cm10 pa, has more options than cwm, but has bugs in other roms???

[480x800] TWRP Holo Theme - Light / Dark

Thanks for the awesome recovery port!
The button between home and back broke the recovery (or was it the theme?). After I pressed the button and pulled the battery the TWRP screen kept on flashing and never entered the recovery (or let me boot the phone). I had to NVFlash to get my device back. Flashed it again same problem. Deleted TWRP folder, now it works flawlessly.

Eh, certainly not TWRP's fault. Maybe the themes. Or no idea what you did
The button is for displaying the recovery log, pressing it again will remove the log again.
I've been using this quite often when I was testing every aspect of the recovery to ensure it's safe.

I tried pressing it again but the log didn't disappear. Flashed it again and not it works!
Oh and the time is not correct

you have to set the time manually in settings?!
btw tony thanks a lot - really appreciate your work! i waited so long for TWRP on new bootloader! everything works great so far! you are such a huge WIN for all p990 owners!
THANKS

oh wow, this is very nice, better as CWM Touch recovery 6x.x.x i think.

Re: [RECOVERY] [new|old bl] TWRP 2.4.0.0 touch recovery [2013-02-01]
I'm sorry for the noob questions but i have lots of backups from CWM, does those backups work on TWRP?
Really interested in using this recovery (no more button mashing) and the possibility to rename the backups is awesome.
Thank you very much Tony!!

No, you can not use it.
The best option was i missed in CWM is flash in Batch-Mode. But the clock and the battery status are a funny gimmick. Nice but not important.

Re: [RECOVERY] [new|old bl] TWRP 2.4.0.0 touch recovery [2013-02-01]
Okay, as promised another post about the new twrp version.
The v3.3.0.0 version for the new bootloader has unfortunately been compiled exactly at the time pengus kernel source had the rare ext4 race bug.
So I'd recommend everyone on the new bootloader to update to the new version asap.
If you think you got errors then just do a backup, format /system, /data and /cache, then restore. Most people, including me, shouldn't be affected though.
The new kernel should be absolutely stable, it's based on Kowalski kernel 011p4 (which is like p3 but with the shutdown bug fuxed). This one is completely stable again. (remember, even cwm is using the cm kenel which I'd consider less stable than pengus one).
I had planned to update TWRP during this weekend anyways as twrp 2.4.0.0 got released.
Now cm10.1 users can safely use twrp as well!
Lol, while heading to the twrp website I noticed it got a new update today.
So expect a twrp 2.4.1.0 release tomorrow
What's new in 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

I did plenty of backups with twrp, always worked like a charm.
In twrp you can choose the backups location (internal or external sdcard).
So check if it's on the other partition.
Speaking about TWRP.
Please read my update in the twrp thread.
You can wait till tomorrow with updating twrp though, I will push version 2.4.1.0 tomorrow.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

Okay, about version 2.4.1.0:
My self-built newbl build had already been at version 2.4.1.0
I was in a little hurry and confused myself with the 2.4.0.0 version for the oldbl lol :cyclops:
Now the official build reached 2.4.1.0 as well: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/65
I downloaded it and zipped it into a flashable zip again, download at the OP.
To avoid confusion I uploaded "recovery-TWRP-2.4.1.0-newbl-20130201.zip" file as well - but it's exactly the same recovery as the previous one.
If you downloaded the "recovery-TWRP-2.4-newbl-20130201.zip" file you already got the newest version and don't have to reflash it it.
2.4.0.0 and 2.4.1.0 changelog:

[RECOVERY] [TWRP 2.8.0.0] [v500] [9-11-2014]

Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. 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.

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
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.

ok i see the difference
to make this work you will need to open a new issue here : https://github.com/djrbliss/loki/issues?page=1&state=open
and provide this info and also provide your aboot.img
he should be able to update loki for your device

yesterday a new firmware update has come. when i update i must open again a new issue? (this update will come to all devices lg said. it may fixes the blue line issue)

I've been working with Dees_troy to make this official

can i flash twp.img with any toolkit?

When trying the first method always get this message:
/data/local/tmp/loki_flash recovery /data/local/tmp/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-awifi.img
sh: recovery: not found..
so googled a little and found this APP, at XDA forum... worked like a charm http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349847.

[recovery] [stable] [official][2.8.6.0] twrp

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:
#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 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

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.

TWRP work great and thanks so much

At last, one recovery that seems to work right.
Now a few ROMs and let the show begin LOL

Did anyone test a exFAT micro SD?

I tried to flash it via CWM or Odin, but unfortunately it doesn't boot.

Which device?
Where does it hang exactly? On 'Recovery booting...' (in blue) screen?
Which rom do you have installed?
Is adb working?

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?

See if logcat is running, create logs and post the files.
Any fancy stuff installed like exfat sdcard or something?
Code:
adb shell "dmesg > /tmp/dmesg.log"
adb pull /tmp/dmesg.log
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log
Edit: Quotes added to adb shell, sry.

sorry, but adb is not running.
I just doule chcked it, I have bootloader I9506XXUBNA2 installed, which is 4.3, but I'm pretty sure I came from Stock KK 4.4. Could this be the problem?

Yes, probably. The 4.4 kernels come with a new device tree format.

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?

Boot.img is the kernel, not 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...

[RECOVERY][HOLIDAY] TWRP 2.8.0.0 Touch Recovery [2014-09-19]

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.
Phone look:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

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.

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.

Thanks for that. For all the PAC users I will be making a few edits to the PAC branch of the device tree to correspond with the new recovery. The next nightly that is released I would like you guys to check if it flashes without a hitch.

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?

just flashed the latest nightly, flashed good but google now launcher is dead, tried to change in settings and it force closes.

Ok...
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

Please take down the non working recovery...
