Issues booting TWRP 2.8.2.0 (hammerhead)

[jacklnicholson]

A number of users have reported issues booting TWRP 2.8.2.0 (lge_hammerhead). Although TWRP will successfully boot for the first time after flashing, all other instances will fail. Upon attempting to boot to recovery, the device will automatically reboot to system once the user reaches the TWRP "curtains" splash screen.

This issue has been most commonly reported by users running the stock LRX21O ROM, including those that updated via OTA or by (clean) flashing the factory images. Error reports typically involve SELinux set to Enforcing, with either the stock kernel, Chainfire's modified stock kernel (eg. as achieved using CF Auto-Root), Franco kernel, and SuperSU versions 2.20 to 2.27 (beta).

Users have reported flashing TWRP via fastboot, Flashify or with a flashable zip in recovery.

Downgrading to TWRP 2.8.1.0 will typically solve the issue.

I have a Nexus 5 with Android L.

I connect the N5 to my PC (Windows 8.1) with a USB cable and in the command line I write:

adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices (to see the N5)

adb reboot bootloader

and I wait till I see the fastboot screen in the N5. The I write:

fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-hammerhead.img

It starts ok.

But with the last TWRP recovery, don't work:

fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.8.2.0-hammerhead.img

At first N5 starts ok, I see the blue screen, but then restarts in Android L.

The 2.7.0.0 has the same problem as 2.8.2.0. I've tested again and I see that all releases from 2.6.3.4 starts ok, but 2.8.2.0 fails. The solution of flash 2.8.1.0, turn off MTP and then flash 2.8.2.0, worked fine for me.

I've opened a thread in XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/load-twrp-2-8-fails-t2959998

Thanks !!
PS: I don't flash anything, I load the recovery from my PC using the USB cable.

is this problem fixed? is secure to install the latest version?

Should be -- I don't think I've had this problem.

Dowgrading is simple if you do come across another showstopper.

I also have the problem with the reboot-loop with 3.2.1-1

2.8.1.0 and 2.6.3.4 also don't work, it doesn't reboot but goes in a "teamwin" screen loop.
