XePeleato commented 8 years ago

Alright, I have finally built TWRP 3.0 so I need some people to test it.

Just drop a comment if you'd like to provide feedback!

recovery

FelipeBR28 commented 8 years ago

I can't test it yet (because it's being repaired) but when it's finished, I'd like to test it.

olrak2 commented 8 years ago

Very good news, how did you solve the black screen?

I'm very excited to test it :)

XePeleato commented 8 years ago

Well, I had to edit a graphics file.

Unzip and run "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

olrak2 commented 8 years ago

Installation without problem :)

All settings are working for the moment.

Will test other settings in the couple of days.

Very good job. Keep up the good work

Hii, TWRP is perfect :dancer:

TWRP 3 Test

FelipeBR28 commented 8 years ago

And, @XePeleato , can it be flashed by Flashify? It's easier 😅

XePeleato commented 8 years ago

@Tuentista At the moment, it can't, since I just released it here to get a few people to provide some feedback, so far I am pretty happy with it, so I might release a .zip

@Mast3rPK Thank you for your feedback! I really appreciate it.

olrak2 commented 8 years ago

If you can't flash it with fastboot you are not worth of being a tester :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

@XePeleato hope development on your AOSP rom is going well

FelipeBR28 commented 8 years ago

Obviously I can, just said that it's easier, not else.

debbiche commented 8 years ago

@XePeleato is there a source for this somewhere? Would love to try to build it for the P8 ;)

XePeleato commented 8 years ago

@debbiche I am talking with the members of TeamWin, so they can provide me with an 'official' recovery tree, the problem was that since the graphics are now coded in C++ instead of C, the graphics.c patch by jniklast became obsolete and I had to adapt it. Whenever that change is pushed you'll be able to build it.

bboci80 commented 8 years ago

@bboci80 There are some posts on XDA about it, however I won't update until Huawei releases it officially.

@XePeleato Recovery works great :+1:

muhammadfahadbaig commented 8 years ago

@XePeleato I can't seem to reboot to system from TWRP. It just powers off the device instead of rebooting.

XePeleato commented 8 years ago

@muhammadfahadbaig Have you played with the kernel? Did that happen with 2.8.7 version?

muhammadfahadbaig commented 8 years ago

It's the same with 2.8.7.0. (I built both of them myself using your device tree for Android 5.1.1 version with my own kernel built from source). I want to stay away from kernel sources as far as I can. I'll now use the Image from stock boot.img...

XePeleato commented 8 years ago

Have you tried with the file I released above?

muhammadfahadbaig commented 8 years ago

Same with your recovery.img...

olrak2 commented 8 years ago

@XePeleato , probably not your recovery's fault but wanted to share my experience.

I had a backup of my rom: version B188 in TWRP (external SD Card)

I installed version B052 (did a full wipe, all also internal memory etc.) and then with OTA to B170.

Installed your recovery TWRP to go back to my backup of the B188.

Once my backup did install i booted up to my backup, no problem but my rom asked to make an OTA update to B188.

So there must be a partition or a file that did not got backup by TWRP. Maybe cust.img or something else but i think that can cause for problem when you restore a stock rom.

muhammadfahadbaig commented 8 years ago

@olrak2 You're right about the partition. Cust.img holds all current firmware information. That's why if you want to downgrade from lets say Android 6.0 to Android 5.1.1 you need to flash cust.img of Android 5.1.1 and then the whole stock ROM. It would be easy to add Cust partition to the Backup menu. Let me see it and I'll try to build one with this option.

muhammadfahadbaig commented 8 years ago

@olrak2 Just add this line in recovery.fstab (either before compiling from source or decompiling the recovery.img and editing this file in /ramdisk/etc/). /cust ext4 /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/cust flags=backup=1;display="Cust";wipeingui

muhammadfahadbaig commented 8 years ago

@XePeleato As for the black screen patch for HiSilicon SoC, does FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO always passes or fails for our chipset?

XePeleato commented 8 years ago

I've never tried it , the custom graphics file works fine for me
