Team Win Recovery Project 2.2, 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.

DOWNLOAD:
The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app:
Play Store Link
Direct Download
1) Install GooManager from the Play Store
2) Open GooManager and provide root permissions
3) Hit Menu (or the button with the 3 dots on your screen) and then Install OpenRecovery
OR:
You can find more information and download links on our website!
NOTE: If you're coming from another build of TWRP, you may need to go into settings and tap reset defaults to reset the storage paths so that you can see your zip files.
BUGS:
If you have found a bug, please consider posting it to our github issues log. It's pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 30 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, your best bet is to PM me directly, contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below. If you see someone that's struggling, feel free to point it out to us. We need your help to help us keep track of all of our devices! Thanks!
SUPPORT:
Live support is available via #twrp on Freenode with your IRC client or just click this link.
thank you for this, ill test asap
if anyone wants a flashable zip, lemme know. i already have it done
edit: works good. only thing is i was flashing a rom (attempting to anyway) and somehow my zip got corrupted and unreadable. never had that happen before. any thoughts? (it was fine when i put it on my sd card, was flashing a 2nd time, so zip had worked previously and all other files on my sd are fine)
Going to flash this now and give it a try. Hopefully it works out good.

thanks, always wanted a touch recovery and this one is great, if i could make a recovery touch it would be like this one again thanks
I flashed this a week or two ago and been working awesome! I love it.
i have been using cw recovery all time and always wanted to have a touch screen recovery and this one is sick, my only thing i have found is when i go to restore a backup it cannot find it,(one from cwm recovert). is it that it just cant restore those or did i miss something? no big deal to me ,just wanted to put it out there.
again thanks for this
they are in different folders on the SDCARD, im not even sure they are compatible.
ok cool im trying to do differant things and ill update you either way

Yes, Firerats has nothing to do with the recovery. Firerats just resizes your data/system/cache portion of the system really so you can install more apps.
I am using it and love it and works awesome on my Hero. :good:
thanks im trying it now, love the use of touch
I am going to leave the automated GooManager install for the Hero on version 2.2.2.0 due to the age of the device and the problems with recovery API 3 and older zips. TWRP 2.3.0.0 does work fine on the HeroC but I'm willing to bet that most zips are using old update binaries that will not install on the new version. If anyone wants to try, you're welcome to download and flash the newer versions manually:
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/heroc
I was going to give 2.3.0.0 a try but like you stated, and someone in IRC said, that most of the zips online for the old Hero are prob all older so going to stick with 2.2.0.0 I think. Thanks for the update though.
Does TWRP require any particular hboot version, or will it function with any of them? I know you need to be on Android 2.3 in order to install TWRP, but I'm wondering... does it also mean that if you flash back to a stock ROM that TWRP won't work properly?
EDIT: My question was obviously stated with some knowledge missing. Recovery is obviously not dependent upon the ROM, as the ROM is loaded after the recovery program is done! But... I'm curious to know, if I made a nandroid backup with TWRP 2.2.2.0, will TWRP2 be able to restore it?
* DELETE *
There has been a small oversight with the GooManager route of distribution and the original post for this particular phone. You must have a PC or have a phone that can flash .zips or has a 2.3 or up ROM installed so it can run GooManager, even though this phones last OTA was Android 2.1, so it probably should have a .zip posted instead.
For example, I have a stock but rooted HTC Hero from Sprint as my backup with the latest OTA. So I can't use this method of install for this recovery without flashing a different recovery first, and then either flashing it as a .zip or upgrading my ROM to a 2.2 or 2.3 based ROM. In reality, I think most will just stick with whatever recovery must be flashed first in this situation as I will, even though I wanted TWRP. That said I think most of the users that use this will just want a .zip.
But there is no .zip posted for the guys that can flash it. This also makes it an overly cumbersome option if the handset is in stock state. As I said, I probably won't bother re-flashing, I kind of like sticking to one recovery on a phone and prefer to do minimal NAND writes.

I thought it might be nice to get a thread going for discussion on the CM7 port for harmony for our gtablet device. There are nightly builds which are starting to incorporate some great things such as video acceleration and the new google release of 2.3.4 could be around the corner. In fact some 2.3.4 code made it into nightly#60.
I am in no way associated with CM7. If someone from CM7 or someone in some way associated with CM7 wants to run this thread or create a similar one please do so.

How-To Guide:
(slightly edited from Wiki http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Viewsonic_G_Tablet:_Full_Update_Guide)
Before you do anything — Make a backup
Don't forget to back up your data. If you have synced the device with a Google account, then the contacts, calendar, Gmail & select other Google-related data will not be lost and will come back after the next sync. However, you should backup anything you want to keep that is not stored on the SD card:
Bookmarks,
Applications; use Titanium Backup or the Astro File Manager, for example,
Any application data not on the SD card.
It would also be a good idea to backup everything stored on the SD card in the rare case the SD card must be formatted to resolve any major problems.
Backup for Root Users is a free application that can assist with backing up your data.
Installing ClockworkMod Recovery
For this guide, it is not necessary to root the Viewsonic G Tablet in order to flash CyanogenMod. You can simply install ClockworkMod Recovery & continue on.
Warning: Installing ClockworkMod Recovery on the Viewsonic G Tablet will void the warranty.
Download the ClockworkMod package: Download
Unzip the ClockworkMod package & copy the recovery folder & the update.zip to the root of the internal memory (NOT in any folders & NOT to the removable SD card).
Power off the Viewsonic G Tablet and reboot holding the Volume Up button and the Power button until the device is in the stock recovery.
While in the stock recovery, use the Volume buttons to navigate to the apply update.zip & press the Home button to select it.
Once the it the update.zip is applied the Viewsonic G Tablet will have ClockworkMod Recovery. Please continue to the next section.

Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the SD card.
Optional: Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the SD card also.
Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
Select Install zip from sdcard.
Select Choose zip from sdcard.
Select the CyanogenMod update.zip.
Optional: Install the Google Apps by performing steps 7 - 9 again and choosing the Google Apps update.zip.
Once the installation has finished, select +++++Go Back+++++ to get back to the main menu, and select the Reboot system now option. The Viewsonic G Tablet should now boot into CyanogenMod.

Great job Oozura. Make sure Mad-Murdoch links this thread in his post in the nook forum. I had volunteered to do the same but he didn't get back to me. I'm a long time CM nightlies user on Droid, and now on GTab as well. I'll post as much as I can here.
And that bad frog is right. Use bekit's 0.8 GTab recovery and forget about Rom Manager. You'll just end up having to nvflash...
Thanks!

Search for the endless threads on hard bricked and soft bricked tabs from using rom manager on the gtab. And before all you fanbois jump in and tell me you had no problems understand this....there are at least 2 different partitioning setups on the Gtab from the factory. Sometimes you can't even boot after flashing Gingerbread roms without nvflash.

Hardware Decoding?
So I installed AOSP the other day (the one in the Dev forum) because it was claiming hardware acceleration. It loaded up and was super laggy, but also didn't play the same video files that Vegan 5 played. I loaded up CM7 today and found the same thing. It's not nearly as laggy as the AOSP build, but still does not play video. I get volume, but no sound. Am I mistaken is thinking that we in fact have hardware acceleration now?

Progress is being made but we aren't there yet. Did you try mobo player? Engage software decoding and you'll be good to go.

I've been using RockPlayer and havent had any issues. Most notably for me though was YouTube HD videos now play with no lag.
I think Irs421 is right. Its progress but not complete hardware acceleration until Nvidia releases GB drivers I would guess.
I figured as much. Progress, even slow progress, is good. I'm liking CM7 so far any how.
This is an extremely simple ROM modification to the standard Advent Vega 1.10 system image that only alters a couple of things. These are as follows:
/system partition size increased from 128mb to 155mb. (The reason for this will be explained below)
su and SuperUser.apk added - You can use root apps as standard now.
ClockworkMod Recovery built-in.
Added Pauls simple recovery reboot app to get into CWM recovery.
That's all! No google apps, nothing else, just these simple changes. This isn't intended to be used as an everyday ROM (although there is no reason why you couldn't).
The main reason for this, is to be used as ROM base for VegaComb (and any other ROM you wish to use). I have been struggling with the Vega's default partition sizes while trying to port Honeycomb, and rather than spending tons of time trying to make stuff way smaller than it was ever intended to be, this seems like the better option.
So, flash this in nVflash recovery mode (exactly the same as the stock 1.10 image) and off you go. Done. No need to do anything else. You can use this base with any ROM, the ONLY downside is that 30mb of storage has been re-allocated from /data to /system, which most people won't even notice.
ALL future versions of VegaComb will require that you use this modded system image as a base (as they will require more than 125mb of /system space). To return your partitions back to the way they were, just re-flash the stock 1.10 image from www.myadventvega.co.uk (this is the ONLY way to restore your partition sizes, restoring from a Nandroid backup will NOT change your partition sizes back). You DON'T have to return to stock when you want to switch from using VegaComb, all other ROMs should work perfectly fine on top of this base, including Corvus5 and CM7.
Also, it's handy to have this in case you brick your Vega as CWM is pre-installed
AS ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING!
Download ModdedStock_1.10 v2 Here!
Woo Hoo, good sign for things to come
Good work, Love the idea of a bigger /system..saves a lot of messing around moving apps to /data. Cheers. Paul
Just can't get this to install :-(
Keeps coming up with unknown device found!!
Ooops, forgot to plug the charger in.........sorry :-(

Flash without usb cable?
Is there a way to flash this ROM without using the USB cable and recovery mode since my VPAD10s is giving a huge pain with windows 7 and the driver so I can not make it work.
Is there a version to be used with rom manager?
Thanks guys.
You need to use your PC because this ROM changes the partition sizes in the internal memory, and you need a PC program (nvflash) for that purpose.
Damn! thanks Logseman, I will keep on trying to get my tablet recognized over w7 can´t believe it´s so hard to make it work. wish me luck
Hope over to the Modaco Vega forum and search for YAUDIG and AUDI. They'll get the drivers installed for you.

Hi:
Currently using vegacomb 0.6, i want to nandroid backup, install the new Rom base, then nandroid restore, and then upgrade to vegacomb 0.7 via the upgrade patch, in order not to loose all my settings.
So I would like to do a Nandroid backup, but being Android illiterate, i havent found how to do it in vegacomb 0.7.
Another question is , as I have moved most apps to SD, if there would be any problem regarding the base rom change and nandroid bacup-restore
Thanks for any hint/pointer
Which gapps should I use it for this built?

Hi
Switch off your Vega.
Connect it to the PC with the USB Cable.
Hold the power button on the Vega for 2 secs
Hold the back button while still holding the power button for a further 2 secs.
Release the power button but keep holding the back button for a further 2 secs.
You should now have a black screen and the Vega should be recognized on your PC (check in Control panel under USB for Nvidia Harmony or Shuttle)
The above assumes that you have installed the drivers.
Then open Modded Stock v1 or 2 which you should have already downloaded to the PC and it will install on the Vega (Vega will show NV Flash mopde across the top of the screen)
Once Modded stock is installed go to the apps menu and the recovery app is there. If you have already downloaded and put on your SD Card, the Vegacomb 9n Rom run the recovery and it will put you into CWM.
Wipe data, cache and in advanced the Dalvik cache.
Then select install from SD card and select the Rom and it will install.
If you continue to have problems Google Vegatools 4.1 and download and install
and it can do all the hard work.
Hope this helps

Hi guys, sorry to hijack the thread an take it slightly off course but........
Buy flashing this stock modded rom, will it reset my touch screen issues? Read that its a pretty common problem.
I've tried the fix at modaco, and it works.......for a very brief period, then back to just half of my landscape screen being recognized?
I've only had my Vega a week, can any other of you more experianced fellows point me towards a fix? It would be much appreciated.

Some regions have been experiencing routing issues with our domain today. Kind of crappy. Links do work since others have been able to download, but they don't work for me personally either. :/

I flashed version 2, when I rebooted, I didn't rename the PCIMG36.ZIP but even after I did rename it by manually taking the card out and doing it in a USB drive, I am ONLY booting to the white screen on my Evo. Help, I am in an endless loop that it only boots into the white screen on my evo. I can't get the system to boot up past the white screen with the three androids on skateboards. I can get back to recovery, flashed back to 1.1.1 TWRP, but what did I do wrong?
Any and all help would be most appreciated.
Help.
Btw. Rename it to sometying with recovery in the name and you can use flash image GUI with the the .img file

SD-EXT
I don't have any useful information unfortunately but same problem as in twrp 1.1.1 it doesn't find my sd-ext ext3 partition created with AmonRA2.3 so I either have the choice of redoing the phone to use this or stick with Amon. I'll probably redo the phone because this recovery is nice!
Thank you noticed that quickly after typing this. I'll redo my phone next day or so and I'm sure that will remedy the problem. Very nice work though!
Last note: wiped everything tried to partition using 2.0 and it says successful but still won't mount ext.

I am getting a loop of the boot animation when I try to flash some roms, like JaredTheGreat's ICS Port
Hola peoples!!! Ok so I just thought I'd create my own thread on this matter. Mustangtim started one in apps and themes (and here is the link to that thread) but since I'm taking over this project it was brought to our attention that this should be in the dev section as its no longer just an app.. I am actually tearing .imgs apart trying to figure out what the deuce.
FIRST OFF THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, WE ARE NOT YET FULLY SUPPORTED. HOWERVER I'M DOING MY BEST TO CHANGE THAT.
Secondly if you want to help get this started please visit the market and grab the app here. Its a $3 dollar app for unlimited amount of roms, based on your SD card storage capacity anyway. And speaking of which you need AT LEAST a class 4 or better SD card to make this run smoothly.
Also feel free to visit the forums at http://forum.init2winitapps.com/
Ok so here it is, Boot Manager Pro. Its been a long time coming for the g2x to dual boot. First off let me say long story short, I currently have a bootable SD Rom, known as ROM1. I have yet to be able to recreate my findings tho. But it works and it doesnt brick at all. However it is a bit laggy on my class 4 SD card. Luckily I've already done my research on this project as there are many threads of such awesome info so I'm just going to be lazy about it and quote the good people of xda versus re-writing it based off of their info.
ChrisDDD said:
So here's a very basic description of how it works... It doesn't partition your SD card, it just creates a folder of its own, and then sub-folders to hold the different roms you install. When you install a rom, it basically creates images of the usual Android partitions - system, data, cache, & boot. These are standard .img files, just like the ones Clockwork creates when you do a backup. After the images are created and wiped (formatted, which you should do initially) it installs your rom into these essentially the same way as Clockwork installs a rom to your phone's actual partitions. I assume it modifies the kernel that comes with each rom to mount the image files on the SD card instead of the phone's partitions.
When you want to boot a rom, it just replaces your current boot image with the modified one and restarts the phone. With the modified boot image, the system, data and cache images on the SD card are mounted to the correct locations and Android starts up none the wiser. The rom will initially run a little slow, because the SD card is slower than the internal memory, but after things get cached it speed up considerably.
When you want to reboot to another rom, or back to the phone's rom, Boot Manager again swaps boot images that mount the desired rom's partitions (in the case of the phone's rom) or files (in the case of an SD card installed rom).
When you first run Boot Manager, it makes a Clockwork flash able backup of your current boot image, which you can flash if a rom hangs or loops on startup. Alternatively, you can also simply boot into recovery and do an advanced restore, choosing just the boot image to restore from a backup. It accomplishes the exact same thing.
It can be a little hit or miss, with some roms just plain refusing to start through Boot Manager, but it does work and when it does, it's pretty amazing given what it's actually doing.

So basically upon installing the app you need to setup your phone so that way you can properly install a ROM, follow these steps:
1. Go into the supersu(or superuser app) and then go to settings then disable logging or click none.
2. Then go into the BMP app and press the menu button on your phone, not the app, and go to settings. Once in settings put a check mark in force large boot.img, screen on during install, and then go into variables, leave tegra alone but change the sdcard block to show mmcblk1p1. Then press finish and let the app restart. By the way I didnt change any of the sizes of the .imgs but feel free to do so. But be warned do not decrease the size of the system.img only increase it, if desired.
3.Then after you've done the above you need to setup the phone rom. Click on 'Setup Phone' under phone rom and follow that process to setup your phone rom.
4. Once your phone rom is setup you may begin to install a zip to rom1 or rom2 or whatever slot you want. This is the tricky part. I have done tons of reading and most people say that if your using CWM, which us g2x'ers do, then you will probably have a better chance of getting a bootable rom by restoring from a nandroid backup you did versus installing new.
5. So after you decide which path you will take, nandroid backup or fresh rom install, choose install. If you choose a fresh rom, wipe system, data, and cache right away. If nandroid, then wipe after the install.
6. Now once you have clicked install put your phone down, DONT MESS WITH YOUR PHONE AT ALL! PUT IT DOWN AND WALK AWAY OR SOMETHING! Don’t mess with it, text from it, xda from it, dont even use the screen as a mirror!!!! lol seriously the app is picky and while under the .img creation process you want nothing to mess that up or you will not get it booted. You may however drag down the notifications bar to follow the progress of the install.
7. Once its complete, tap the install complete notification in the notification bar and let the app do its thing to finalize the install and get you back to your rom selection screen. Now if you did a nandroid back up here is where you click 'manage slot' and then factory reset the backup you did. Just do it, dont ask why.
7.1 Also so if you desire to install gapps and/or possibly a different kernel, now would be the time to do so while your here. I have read mixed reviews of doing this process right after the rom installs. However when I set up my rom1, I booted into it first all happily then realized I had no gapps. So I had to reinstall BMP on rom1 then boot back to phone rom and then I installed GB gapps and had no issues booting back into rom1.
8. Once the above steps are done if your feelin lucky go ahead and tap on boot the rom you installed, and if all goes well it will boot up.
9. If it boots up you need to post confirmation here!!! Provided info such as phone rom and the info on the sd rom you used and slot number and such.
Hopefully it will just work for you. I have done all the above steps using HFP 2.1 as my phone rom and only been able to get 1 bootable rom. Being it was for testing I used HFP as my phone rom and as well as my rom1.
So if the above steps dont wortk out for you and your boot lopped or what ever, then turn your phone off and reboot into cwm. You have 2 options to resolve the boot issue you just created. 1, you may go to restore then advanced restore then restore your boot. Or 2. select install a zip and nav to the bootmanager folder then phone rom then flash the update zip there.. then reboot and you should be back at your phone rom.
Here is a basic run down of everything that I have done so far:
When I first started working on this project I wasn’t doing any dev'ing to change any of the stuff in the boot.img. I just changed settings in the app per all the research I did. So when all was said and done I restored HFP 2.1 to ROM1 and it actually booted!! And it works lovely btw.. I can still boot into this rom today. I then decided to pass the word and ways that I created the working rom1, well I nor anyone else I passed the info to was able to get it working. Only one other person was able to confirm that rom1 works but only after I copied all my rom1 info and sent it to him for testing.. and he was able to boot into my created rom1… As I see it, it was a blue moon event that I have yet to repeat. So I thought eff it lets do some dev'in so I unpacked the boot.img from rom1 then compared that to the unpacked boot.img from rom2 that I created in my trial and error experiences. So in doing so I noticed 4 differences; 1, the mount points obviously, 2, in the sbin folder had a ueventd file from the working rom1 was a text file viewable by gedit in ubuntu. In rom2 it was just a non-readable file. 3, in the init.rc file was also missing a chmod command for system, (the command is in rom1 but not rom2) and 4, there was a ueventd.tegra file that was in rom1 that wasn’t in rom2, but everything else is the same. So I decided to plug and play with the differences to see if she boots and no go. I don’t understand why its boot looping because I am using the same rom as phone rom as for rom1 and rom2. So it boot looped. So I had to restore my boot.img many times in cwm.
So then I said eff it lets do some more research, then I noticed in the .zips folder plus the individual rom folder there are .zips that will let you flash via cwm if you get boot loops and 'should' get you booting to your desired sdrom. I then tried that way and no go.. so then I opened up the zip and had a look at the internals.. first there is the moveboot.sh file that the app runs in cwm flash the given boot.img. I then checked out the meta-inf and opened up the updater-script thinking that the app wasn’t actually flashing the boot.img which is why it loops... Well I think im half way right. However the script itself is lil dodgy... first thing I noticed was at the end of the script they have a command to cp the log from /tmp to /sdcard/bootmanager well the command was wrong so it never copied the log. So I fixed that. I also saw that the assert command was pointing to ‘boot’ instead of mmcblk0p5, so I changed that too. Then I decided to do away with the assert command and the moveboot.sh file they have going on to utilize the same functions that the kernel zips use, which is a kernel folder that holds the boot.img and a run_program that dd's the boot.img to 0p5. plus I even updated the update-binary that the file uses. I used the one from the g2x nullifier as I know that one was made for our phone and should have no issues.. plus there was a noticeable difference in the sizes of the provided binary to that replaced binary. So with the updated.zip file I then rebooted into cwm to flash that being that I was using a different command to flash the boot.img as well as the other changed stuff and still it boot looped. So as of now the only thing I don’t think ive done was grab the boot.img from rom1 then change the mount points, only change that, and then use that for rom2 and see if it boots. I don’t think I’ve done that yet. But every dam process I do I get boot loops. So basically I have came to the conclusion that it’s now NOT a boot.img issue being that I have done everything to change the boot.img and to make sure it flashes, which it does indeed and now creates the log too… I think maybe it has issues with the system.img as that’s what comes next in the boot process. But that’s just my hypothesis. I won’t be able to confirm this till I liberate rom1’s boot.img then change the mount points to point to rom2 and then see if it boots.. if it don’t work then that would mean to me that there is an issue with system.img created. But that’s just my hypothesis…
What I don’t understand is why the eff when I didnt hack the app I got a working sd-rom, but when I do change some stuff with it still don’t work!!???!! I guess maybe ill just edit/hack the apk to see what’s up.. This is getting way more complicated than it needs to be, since it worked prior to all my major changes to the script its using for flashing and the boot.img and what not. Anyone have any ideas feel free to add them.
My next steps are to edit rom1 boot.img one last time to change the mount points to point to rom2 and then if that’s a no go then it’s got to be the system.img that’s getting created. By the way this whole process I have only been restoring my nandroid backup for HFP 2.1. I have not attempted to flash new as with thru my research more times than not people would get a bootable rom via restoring versus flashing new.. so if anyone wishes to experience an sd rom let me know, ill send you a link to download my rom1 to get it going. Mind you that its not perfect and you need a class 4 or better sdcard. Everything works but it just takes a bit longer to load things and get things cached as its on the sdcard and not nand. Also if you have any input or are wishing to help pm me I need more heads to get this sorted as I can’t be the only one who knows how to edit scripts and unpack imgs and such. Either way I will continue to do this until I get it right damit!!! Oh and I just ordered a class 10 sdcard to help with this process…
That was copied from the other thread that mustangtim started. Last night when I went home the first thing I did was change the mount points on rom1 to reflect rom2, I changed nada else, then I tried to boot it... it boot looped. So maybe its a permissions issue or the system.img.
So just as a proof of concept and before anyone calls bs on my work/findings Here is the link to my rom1 that boots and is HFP2.1. *Update, 'm just going to
leave it on my DB for now till I find something better I guess. xda wont let me attach the file since its 233MB. Oh well here is the link :
Code:
[URL="http://db.tt/eBZwrOrs"][U][B]Here it is, my Rom1 HFP 2.1[/B][/U][/URL].
I have also attached my updated script file to flash back to rom1, for now.
The boot.img points to rom1 instead of phone rom, ill add to phone rom
as well, just not the now. :) Feel free to flash this via cwm versus
restoring...
Also this is part of the this: the ‘.zips’ folder you need to replace the file in
that folder as well. It’s an update file for rom1 to flash the boot.img.
..
If you’re going to use this you need install a random rom to rom1 then replace those created files in rom1 with these files in the 7z file..
So I am doing this new thread to get the devs or people with know how to help me out with my findings. I have edited the boot.img so much I could pretty much re-write everything in there by now including using magic to create to my own kernel eff!! lol jk but seriously I need people with knowhow to provide confirmation of go or no go. Basically I have people whom have helped out but It seems that I'm the only one who has dug this far into this app(unless i've been misinformed) and I have no one on my level to talk with except the init2winit devs. Which are very helpful btw.
And lastly:
Conap said:
Guys if it's failing to make the boot.img first make sure your using the market version....others have released cracked versions of our app which they broke...if your using the actual market version just send me a pm or email [email protected] and send your log.txt from BootManager folder on sdcard and we'll get it straightened out. Thanks.

or post here or PM me, I'm always down to help out.
Also thanks go to the init2win team, Gflam and Conap as they started this app. and as well to Mustangtim as he brought me into the light of BMP.
So you got all that???!!!??? Now lets get this party started and get full support for dual booting. I will not rest until I get this working. Thanks for your time and possible assistance.
Ok so since I have a book above I thought this is a good place for links and such...
So just incase anyone is curious, here is the Official Boot Manager Manual
Here is a nice link for Tips and Tricks while Installing ROM's that so far has good info to help you watch via adb what the BMP is doing in its creation process.
Some FAQs:
When should I set up my phone ROM?
Set up your phone ROM EVERYTIME you install a new ROM to your phone so you can get back to your phone ROM and won't get stuck on your SD ROM.
My SD ROM seems to lag how can I fix this?
SD ROM lagging may be due to a few things which all have easy fixes. First fix is that most of you have class 2 cards which are what usually come with your phones. These have a much lower read/write then cards of a higher class, we recommend a class 6 card or above. Another easy solution is overclocking merely install a better kernel and use CPU Boost (or any other overclock app) to overclock your phone.
Can I nandroid my SD ROM slots?
Yes and no you can't nandroid them in the traditional sense of the word using recovery but this app works as a recovery for your SD ROM slots and you can back up your ROM slots within the app in the Manage Installed ROMs section which works as a nandroid for your slots by fully backing up your slots to your sdcard which can later be restored.
What if I want to change the sizes of my images, how may I determine the individual sizes easily?
Easiest way is to open up terminal emulator in your app drawer. Type 'su', then grant permissions if need be, then type 'df -h' and it will display such information. You may also use adb in the same fashion. Connect via usb, open up command prompt/terminal and get adb connected and then type 'df - h' again and the same info will show. I will say this again just because, do not decrease the size of your system.img ever! Unless you want mad issues!

no we had a miscommunication due to our avail times and GB's lacking ability to utilize two accounts on gtalk.... I have posted those files in the op however...
First, I want to thank everyone who has helped with us on this app. Second, I know I picked the right man for the job, did you see that OP! All kidding aside, a lot of you know I write for ACS under screen name artifintel. I just had too much on my plate to give this project the attention and direction it needs. The right guy is in charge, he's a stand up person and very knowledgeable with this app. Good luck everyone!

and no bootloop you say?? well then it may be the stock rom your using... The app is very picky and if you get a bootloop, I feel that those can get booted with tweaks... but stuck on lg screen is just no bueno.. Try a different rom... maybe one that has its partitions at ext3 format just to try it.. I think owains rom uses ext4, but I could be wrong. I havent fully researched his rom yet..
hands down, a badass app...

CHANGELOG for 2.3.2.3:
-Fixes / enhancements to handle the multiple user setup introduced by Android 4.2 (see notes)
-Fixed a bug with deleting a backup with a space in the name
-Added highlights on keyboard key presses
-TF101: Ignore blkid when mounting /data
CHANGELOG for 2.3.0.0:
-Rebased onto AOSP Jelly Bean source code
-Rewrote backup, restore, wipe, and mount code in C++ classes for easier maintenance going forward
NOTE: backups from prior versions of TWRP are still compatible with 2.3
-ADB sideload functionality from AOSP is included in 2.3, see this link for more info
-Re-wrote fix permissions entirely in C++ and runs in a few seconds instead of a few minutes (thanks to bigbiff)
-Improvements to zip finding in OpenRecoveryScript (should be a lot fewer GooManager automation issues)
-Faster boot times
-Added charging indicator while in recovery (only updates once every 60 seconds)
While this update may not bring a host of new must-have features, this update is a significant re-write of much of the core TWRP code. AOSP Jelly Bean recovery source moved to mostly C++ code and now all of the "TWRP" code is fully rewritten into C++ as well. Now that we've laid this groundwork, we're in a much better position to pull in future AOSP recovery updates as well as implementing more great new features.
Since TWRP 2.3 is based on AOSP jelly bean sources, TWRP now uses recovery API 3 instead of 2. Some zips may no longer work if the developer is using an out-of-date update-binary. This API change should not be a problem on newer devices, but older devices will probably encounter several zips that need to be updated. If needed, you can try using this update-binary that was compiled with current sources. It goes in your zip file in the META-INF/com/google/android folder.
DOWNLOAD:
The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app:
Play Store Link
Direct Download
1) Install GooManager from the Play Store
2) Open GooManager and provide root permissions
3) Hit Menu (or the button with the 3 dots on your screen) and then Install OpenRecovery
OR:
You can find more information and download links on our website!
NOTE: If you're coming from another build of TWRP, you may need to go into settings and tap reset defaults to reset the storage paths so that you can see your zip files.
BUGS:
If you have found a bug, please acquire a recovery.log - you can do this in two ways - the fastest is "adb pull /tmp/recovery.log" right after you have the issue. Alternatively in the advanced menu there's an option to copy the log to the sdcard. Also consider posting it to our github issues log. It's pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 30 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, your best bet is to contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below. If you see someone that's struggling, feel free to point it out to us. We need your help to help us keep track of all of our devices! Thanks!
SUPPORT:
Live support is available via #twrp on Freenode with your IRC client or just click this link.
We also now back up and restore boot! Yay!
Want to compile yourself?
I'm using this config: https://github.com/ViViDboarder/android_device_asus_tf101
And this kernel: https://github.com/ViViDboarder/android_kernel_TF101
And compiling against CM9 source tree
Further device specific announcements will go here
A few thanks for this specific build:
Roach2010 for helping be me test and find the mystery kernel
RaymanFX for finding a config that worked. Still not sure where he found it yet exactly
And... Dees_Troy and eyeballer for their relentless nagging
first ...
well second lol
So, third ......thanks guys, that's awesome !
thanks, been waiting for this.
great work, i've been waiting forever and finally have this on all my devices and those that I support.
I've been using the other one RaymanFX had built and both are awesome. Only 1 change other than the known issues, would be remove the "Bootloader" button under restart. But just my opinion. Thanks Again.

Good note. That's a theme issue then. I can build a new theme zip or something later. Working on releasing the much delayed Nexus One build.
EDIT: I've been informed by Dees_Troy that we have build flags to do just this. So I'm adding them to my configs so the next build should have them removified.
It's worth pointing out that this build of TWRP has a recompiled kernel with boot and recovery exposed. You can finally back up boot and restore it.
GooManager keeps hanging at Looking for recoveries after trying to install OpenRecoveryScript. Unable to retrieve files...
Finally recovery on a touch screen device the way it should be! Thanks guys!

I thought I would give this a try and went to the TWRP page link as instructed. Followed the instructions to download the open recovery through goo manager, which it did and it rebooted my tablet and all looked good. I then tried to reboot to recovery from Team EOS3 Power menu. The usual TWRP blue curtain was there and when it raised, I saw the text at the bottom that my /data partition was being formatted without formatting /data/media and the tablet rebooted, without ever getting to the TWRP recovery menu and I'm now back at the initial Google setup screen. Guess I should have made a fresh Titanium backup first. A warning would have been nice, or is this a bug?
Strange. But I copped the blob from twrp site as "not recommended" suposedly. Ran the command in terminal cuz I don't Fux with goo manager... Everything worked fine. No issues

Since it's installed now and it wiped my data without asking, I'm going to clear things out and reflash everything. I will test if it tries to wipe my data again after I reinstall a few apps.

Weird. It didn't wipe my data. Just installed nicely as per instructions.
running great with no issues I used goo manager app but i flashed it through the flash roms selection on the main menu not the 3-dot menu install open recovery script selection.

Did you ever try to use goo manager with the old unofficial version?

No, I was using RaymanFX's TWRP build prior to this and before that Team Rogue Touch and before that Roach's CWM build, all flashed from within recovery. I only did the GooManager thing because that was the recommended method. Subsequent boots to recovery did not reproduce the data wipe and after reflashing my ROM and restoring my apps, I went into recovery without a hitch. It was only after installing this one through GooManager per the instructions. It downloaded, rebooted and flashed and rebooted back to Android (Team EOS3 JB #57). After a few minutes I rebooted to recovery from the Power menu in EOS3 and as soon as the blue curtain raised it was wiping my data partition - /data/media. Of course, I didn't expect that and didn't get any chance to stop it. I know I read somewhere before that open recovery wasn't working on the TF101, but since this was new and it was recommended to use open recovery, I just assumed that meant it was now working. Oh well, all is well now.
never mind i figured it out, open recovery only works with internal for now.(it may be because TWRP-2.2.1.4 is mounting the micro SD as /sdc instead of /storage/sdcard0) I moved the goomanager folder to /data/media updated the download folder location in the goomanager app settings to /data/media/goomanager re-ran flash roms from the goomanager apps made my selections and order to flash and selected wipe Cache and Dalvik and it ran just fine, it rebooted to recovery, flashed all the zips(including my mods) in the proper order and booted back up with no issues.
Running EOS3-N58 at this time.
Dam sweet once i figured it out!
Great job!
Thanks

I had already flashed EOS3-N58, but had changed some files experimenting with getting Polaris Office to work and gave up. So, I followed your suggestion and moved a few other files that I normally flash along with the ROM and it worked like a charm. Pretty nifty. I setup the order to flash for EOS3-N58, gapps, Guevor kernel, nVidia codecs, iobusy, and DSP Manager along with the preliminary cache and Dalvik cache wipes and it just worked like you say. Thanks. I hadn't tried that feature yet, mostly because until now I thought it might break something since I had read that open scripting wasn't working yet for TF101 somewhere. I can say now, with this recovery and your change to the download folder, that it is working and working well. You just have to have whatever files you want to flash in that folder (or maybe just somewhere in /data/media) and you're good to go.
