This is the touch recovery from TeamWin

Information
Team Win Recovery Project 2.1, 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.

Key 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)

Directions
For people with CWM installed
1. Boot into recovery
2. Flash the zip
3. Reboot into regular
4. Reboot into recovery
5. Viola!
For people that don't have a recovery yet(Thanks mantera)
To install TWRP, do the following. If you wish to UPGRADE an existing TWRP recovery that you already have installed, you still follow the following steps or alternatively, you can try the steps right above this post

1. Download the TWRP Recovery file using one of the links at the end of the post. Unzip the recovery.img file from the Zip file you downloaded (using WinZip, 7-Zip, or another zip utility) onto your desktop so it is easy to find.
2. Turn OFF your Motorola Triumph (MT) phone.
3. Once the phone is off, make sure that it is not plugged into anything at this time.
4. Hold down the Power + Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the phone vibrates. (I usually hold the phone in one hand and then simultaneously press one button with my thumb and the other button with my forefinger)
5. The phone will boot into Download Mode. You will see the following types of messages on the screen:
   polling, get oemsbl_mode=1
6. Now plug the phone into your computer. A drive labeled MOBILE will appear in your computer
7. Open the MOBILE drive and you should see a folder named image.
8. In the image folder, you will now see the recovery.img file.
9. Rename the file to recovery.img.old (or something like that) so you have a backup in case you ever want to revert back to the stock recovery.
10. Copy the recovery.img file that you unzipped in step 1 into the MOBILE folder on the phone.
11. After the copy is complete, unplug the phone from the computer and take out the battery, wait a second, and put the battery back into the phone.
12. To boot up into TWRP, hold down the Power + Volume Up and Volume Down simultaneously until the phone vibrates.

Bugs
Mounting sdcard doesn't work (removed it in future updates)
It says that there is no /data, but it actually works (It will say that data is 0 mb in backup, just ignore it)
CWM backups are not compatible - please make a fresh backup in TWRP as soon as you have flashed it
DO NOT FLASH A RADIO IMAGE WITH THIS! It's been known to brick phones if you try, and touch recoveries in general have also been known to.

Noiceee Thanks Gannon (:

RolaAddict

g60madman

gannon5197,

Is there a way to uninstall this in case we run into problems or some one needs to unroot the phone?

rukin5197

Haven't thought about that..
How would you go about doing it in CWM? I'm sure it's the same process.

RolaAddict

I would assume to reflash the img you need like normal thru incoming download mode

RolaAddict

Just downloaded the file....for those that don't have CWM installed it looks like you can go into incoming download mode by pressing and holding down volume then the power button.Then connect to computer open MOBILE driver and the downloaded zip.Take the recovery.img from the zip and over to the MOBILE driver and boom there you go.

agentc13

There is also a flashable version of the stock recovery that should work fine as well.

It's linked in the All Things Root Guide and somewhere in Mantera's CWM thread.

Thanks man! Couldn't have gotten it working without you!
This is from CM9. My AOKP sources.

rukin5197

Make sure you edit your second post..

RolaAddict

Will do.And I feel special the I got bumped up to second post lol

b_randon14

Hey gannon, the settings don't stick in recovery. I guess its not exporting the settings file to the sdcard.

rukin5197

Thanks! I'll look into it. Think that will show up in log?

jdt265

This is awesome I have been hoping somebody would port this to our phone since I fist saw it months ago thank you

thebryceee

Should I be worried that when backing up, it said my data was 0MB?

rukin5197

Yeah I thought that the data was going to be a problem. Hold on, I'm going to try to fix it.

thebryceee

Is it backing up my data or is the file size just incorrect.

Last edited by thebryceee; May 18th, 2012 at 10:14 PM.

rukin5197

I don't think it's mounting data, so it's not going to back it all up. Hold on, I'm going to fix it real quick.

EDIT: Well, I couldn't fix it, but it definitely doesn't do anything bad. Just made a backup, wiped everything, and restored it and everything went back to normal.

frusso21

I'd like the ability to name my backups.

mantera

Nice work on getting this out.

Edit: Are you able to mount usb storage mode in recovery?

Twizted6789

i made a backup of cm9 and when I restored I didn't have root anymore

thebryceee

So, it's backing io correctly but just not showing the right file size?

rukin5197

I have no idea.. Like I've said a million times though, I'm looking into it.. Lol.

EDIT: Pulled the links just to be positive that nothing bad occurs from this. I recommend everyone that's planning to flash something new to go back to CWM very soon. I'll try to get a working update very soon though. Hope you understand

thebryceee

It's cause you said this that I had to ask again because I wasn't sure if you got it to back up. By this, I was under the impression that it worked.

rukin5197

No I was serious when I said this. But then there's the fact that it never wiped data.. so if it didn't wipe data then it didn't restore data then really nothing happened.

ziggy46

cool man! i always wanted this recovery for the triumph

you should try to get ext4 recovery too

Agreed, have been using TWRP on my Kindle and is Nice to see it for the Triumph.

Davegrow

I tested this several times going from cm7 to froyo to cm9 and mine restores data fine even though it shows as 0

rukin5197

You're correct. TWRP isn't mounting data correctly, but it is mounted. As you'll see if you type: adb shell mount
I'm going to bring back the link and list that as one of the bugs.

thangfish

This is great news!
Does anyone know what compression format is used to store the backups?

rukin5197

No idea. Lol. I'm not very good with recoveries. I just did this so I could get more comfortable with them.

Twizted6789

Does anyone know why I lost root after backing up cm9 and restoring with this recovery

Prinny

Just FYI: It will work with Linux. At least, Ubuntu. It worked fine for me Also: this TWRP is awesome o.o so much nicer than CWM, I think!

rukin5197

Actually you're right. I did this on Linux.

I love the fact that this recovery you can flash multiple zip's at once up to 10 with ease.Makes life easier.I've flashed and backed up and gone back to orginial ROM with ease no issues here.

FroyoShark

I can't get themes to work. I put the ui.zip into the /sdcard/TWRP/theme folder, and it still shows the default theme.

Try it with a sample theme to make sure there's not an error with yours.
