[RECOVERY][m8whl] TWRP 3.1.1-0 touch recovery [2017-05-19]

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 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.
CHANGELOG for 3.0.2-0:
-Backups will now include adopted storage keys (Dees_Troy)
-Fixed an adb restore issue (bigbiff)
-Fixed rebooting when no OS is present (Dees_Troy)
-Fixed line wrapping in the GUI terminal (_that)
-Updated TWRP source code to AOSP 7.1.2 (Dees_Troy)
CHANGELOG for 3.1.0-0:
-vold decrypt on a few select HTC devices, TWRP will now attempt to use the system partition's vold and vdc binaries and libraries to decrypt the data partition (nkk71 and CaptainThrowback)
-adb backup to stream a backup directly to or from your PC, see documentation here: https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/commit/ce8f83c48d200106ff61ad530c863b15c16949d9 (bigbiff)
-tweak MTP startup routines (mdmower)
-support new Android 7.x xattrs for backup and restore to fix loss of data after a restore (Dees_Troy)
-support POSIX file capabilities backup and restore to fix VoLTE on HTC devices and possibly other issues (Dees_Troy)
-better indicate to users that internal storage is not backed up (Dees_Troy)
-improve automatic determination of TW_THEME (mdmower)
-minimal getcap and setcap support (_that)
-try mounting both ext4 and f2fs during decrypt (jcadduono and Dees_Troy)
-shut off backlight with power key (mdmower)
-timeout during FDE decrypt (Dees_Troy and nkk71)
-support for FBE decrypt and backing up and restoring FBE policies (Dees_Troy)
-boot slot support (Dees_Troy)
-TWRP app install prompt during reboot (Dees_Troy)
-support for AB OTA zips (Dees_Troy)
-support new Android 7.x log command (Dees_Troy)
-update recovery sources to AOSP 7.1 (Dees_Troy)
-numerous bugfixes and improvements by too many people to mention
CHANGELOG for 3.0.2-0:
-Fix a bug with the input box that affected masked inputs (passwords). This fixes decrypt of full device encryption on devices that support decrypt. This bug also impacts encrypted backups. Users are highly encouraged to stop using 3.0.1 if you use encrypted backups or if you need decrypt of data in TWRP.
-Add Greek translation to some builds.
CHANGELOG for 3.0.1-0:
-support new CM 13.0 pattern encryption (sultanqasim)
-fix slow flashing issue due to modprobe (present on only some devices) (#twrp)
-libtar updated to latest upstream and fixes (jcadduono)
-fixes for loading custom themes (_that)
-TWRP will now detect and install TWRP themes automatically through the normal zip install process (Dees_Troy)
-translation updates - added Italian, Czech and Polish and significant updates to Dutch
-progress bar improvements - progress bar updates during image flashing and better tracks progress during file system backups (tar) (Dees_Troy)
-fix input box text display (Dees_Troy)
-reboot option after zip install complete (bigbiff)
-other mostly invisible bug fixes and improvements
CHANGELOG for 3.0.0-0:
-Completely new theme - Much more modern and much nicer looking (by z31s1g)
-True Terminal Emulator - Includes arrow keys, tab and tab completion, etc. (by _that)
-Language translation - It won’t be perfect and especially some languages that require large font files like Chinese & Japanese won’t be availble on most devices. Also some languages may only be partially translated at this time. Feel free to submit more translations to OmniROM’s Gerrit. (mostly by Dees_Troy)
-Flashing of sparse images - On select devices you will be able to flash some parts of factory images via the TWRP GUI (by HashBang173)
-Adopted storage support for select devices - TWRP can now decrypt adopted storage partitions from Marshmallow
-Reworked graphics to bring us more up to date with AOSP - includes support for adf and drm graphics (by Dees_Troy)
-SuperSU prompt will no longer display if a Marshmallow ROM is installed
-Update exfat, exfat fuse, dosfstools (by mdmower)
-Update AOSP base to 6.0
-A huge laundry list of other minor fixes and tweaks
WARNING: This is our first release in a long time. We have a lot of new and somewhat aggressive changes in this new release. The changes to the graphics back-end may cause some devices to not boot up properly or have other display-related issues. If you are not in a position to reflash an older build of TWRP, then wait until you are or at least wait until others have tried the new version for your specific device. You don’t want to end up with a non-working recovery and have to wait several hours or days to get to a computer to be able to fix it.
Notes for themers: In addition to the udpated theme, we have introduced a theme version variable to the TWRP theme system. If the theme version does not match the version that TWRP expects, TWRP will reject the custom theme and load its stock theme. This change will ensure that people who update TWRP without updating their theme will still have a workable recovery. We have removed libjpeg support. The stock theme was only using a jpeg image for the splash / curtain. This change means that any custom themes will no longer be able to use jpeg images. It also means that tools used to repack recovery images with a different curtain / splash will need to be updated to use the new method.
Version number notes: For a while we’ve been using a 4 digit version number and reserved the 4th digit for device-specific updates. For instance, we find and fix a device-specific issue like decryption of data on Nexus 5, we would release that as a 2.8.7.1. After a while, some people would start asking where 2.8.7.1 was for other devices. So, going forward we have decided to change the numbering scheme to 3.0.0-2, etc. Our hope is that this version numbering scheme will more clearly identify that the 4th digit does not indicate a version change for the code base.
We need your help! The bulk of TWRP work is done by 3 people on a volunteer basis. We have pushed most of our device files to our github and we have a gerrit instance. If you have the ability, please help us maintain our official devices and/or add your device to our official device list. Thanks in advance!

I used the terminal emulator install method. You can cut and paste the command line right from the twrp site. Very quick and easy.

02 would be the latest, 2.700 Is the stable version.

Yay, finally the official post has arrived!

Still don't know which to install.
OP states 2.7.0.0 is stable, but the date is 4/14, which doesn't match any in the link. The only one close to that date is the 2.7.0.2 version, but still isn't the exact date.
The OP and the links don't match.

2.7.0.2 wasn't stable for me. Back on capt.'s 2.7.0.5.

Because those patches, while they may work fine on our device, may not work well (or at all) on others. Even worse, they could break functionality on other devices. Thus the need for complete and proper testing prior to such features being merged.

So, would your recovery (2.7.0.7) be the best to use for now?
I figure you wouldn't run it if it didn't include everything.

If you're having issues with this one, then yes, mine is another option.

Is the Aroma touch issue fixed in this version?

The TWRP Manager app also only offers ver. 2.8.1.0. I guess we don't get 2.8.3.0 yet, but it's nice to see the 510 is officially supported by TWRP.

You should be flashing the recovery from a computer like you had to do before with adb..

I downloaded then installed this on my cricket HTC desire 510 with fastboot. And it will not boot this recovery at all. It just goes into a recovery loading boot loop. I am S-on btw

I don't know how active this device is anymore cause I've been moved on for some years now. But I decided to mess around with my old phone.
But here's some feedback, Only Twrp 3.0.2 and below work!
Both 3.1.0 and 3.1.1 boot loop and don't work.
Thank you!

You will not be able to use the app to flash this because of the way fast boot works. Unless they make a custom watch app to dd flash it.

first things first, kudos to tonu42 for posting the unofficial twrp back in december.
sadly, the 2.8.3.0 build somehow screwed up adb for me - but now with the official 2.8.4.0 and that "powerbutton to go back" functionality...just swell

eeermm....I just flashed the twrp recovery and now when I restart, it always goes into recovery. I can't seem to get to boot.
is this normal?

No it isn't normal. I flashed yesterday and haven't experienced this problem, you did flash recovery right? How are you trying to reboot btw?

yeah, so I booted in fastboot and did fastboot flash recovery open....zip
twrp works nice, but when I choose reboot system it starts recovery again.
I am also getting mounting errors (unable to mount data and storage).
EDIT: also, in twrp the Internal Storage is appearing as 0MB

Symptoms don't sound good. You may have to re-flash the system/software from one of the other threads. Maybe worthwhile re-flashing the previous ver of TWRP?

ok...so flashing previous version of twrp did not work, same problem with unable to mount.
now, this is weird. I flashed stock recovery, and the watch started straight away...

yeah, 5.0.1.
ok, so after I flashed the stock recovery, and restarted the device normally, I adb sideloaded the 5.0.1 update mentioned in the thread posted earlier.
I then flashed the latest twrp again, and it now seems to be all nice and fine. I can boot to twrp, and the stuff gets mounted and I can reboot the system as well.
dunno what, but smth went wrong the first time I flashed.
all fine now.

Really strange, glad you got it sorted.

I've had the same problem at first TWRP Flash.

The one you've pointed in this Thread

I did bootloader unlock for my watch using fastboot oem unlock
did fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot.
I do have TWRP but when i press reboot->System it keeps booting to twrp.
I know to properly flash things on my devices but something here is wrong.

anyone got twrp working after flashing wear 5.02 ?

2.8.5.0 works for me on 5.0.2, Supersu FC's after rebooting and attempting installation. I think this is already a known problem. Just need to do a little more digging.
<edit> Updating to the latest (v2.46) has seemed to have resolved my issue

[RECOVERY][tomato] TWRP 3.1.1-0 touch recovery [2017-05-19]

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 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.
CHANGELOG for 3.0.2-0:
-Backups will now include adopted storage keys (Dees_Troy)
-Fixed an adb restore issue (bigbiff)
-Fixed rebooting when no OS is present (Dees_Troy)
-Fixed line wrapping in the GUI terminal (_that)
-Updated TWRP source code to AOSP 7.1.2 (Dees_Troy)
CHANGELOG for 3.1.0-0:
-vold decrypt on a few select HTC devices, TWRP will now attempt to use the system partition's vold and vdc binaries and libraries to decrypt the data partition (nkk71 and CaptainThrowback)
-adb backup to stream a backup directly to or from your PC, see documentation here: https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/commit/ce8f83c48d200106ff61ad530c863b15c16949d9 (bigbiff)
-tweak MTP startup routines (mdmower)
-support new Android 7.x xattrs for backup and restore to fix loss of data after a restore (Dees_Troy)
-support POSIX file capabilities backup and restore to fix VoLTE on HTC devices and possibly other issues (Dees_Troy)
-better indicate to users that internal storage is not backed up (Dees_Troy)
-improve automatic determination of TW_THEME (mdmower)
-minimal getcap and setcap support (_that)
-try mounting both ext4 and f2fs during decrypt (jcadduono and Dees_Troy)
-shut off backlight with power key (mdmower)
-timeout during FDE decrypt (Dees_Troy and nkk71)
-support for FBE decrypt and backing up and restoring FBE policies (Dees_Troy)
-boot slot support (Dees_Troy)
-TWRP app install prompt during reboot (Dees_Troy)
-support for AB OTA zips (Dees_Troy)
-support new Android 7.x log command (Dees_Troy)
-update recovery sources to AOSP 7.1 (Dees_Troy)
-numerous bugfixes and improvements by too many people to mention
CHANGELOG for 3.0.2-0:
-Fix a bug with the input box that affected masked inputs (passwords). This fixes decrypt of full device encryption on devices that support decrypt. This bug also impacts encrypted backups. Users are highly encouraged to stop using 3.0.1 if you use encrypted backups or if you need decrypt of data in TWRP.
-Add Greek translation to some builds.
CHANGELOG for 3.0.1-0:
-support new CM 13.0 pattern encryption (sultanqasim)
-fix slow flashing issue due to modprobe (present on only some devices) (#twrp)
-libtar updated to latest upstream and fixes (jcadduono)
-fixes for loading custom themes (_that)
-TWRP will now detect and install TWRP themes automatically through the normal zip install process (Dees_Troy)
-translation updates - added Italian, Czech and Polish and significant updates to Dutch
-progress bar improvements - progress bar updates during image flashing and better tracks progress during file system backups (tar) (Dees_Troy)
-fix input box text display (Dees_Troy)
-reboot option after zip install complete (bigbiff)
-other mostly invisible bug fixes and improvements
CHANGELOG for 3.0.0-0:
-Completely new theme - Much more modern and much nicer looking (by z31s1g)
-True Terminal Emulator - Includes arrow keys, tab and tab completion, etc. (by _that)
-Language translation - It won’t be perfect and especially some languages that require large font files like Chinese & Japanese won’t be availble on most devices. Also some languages may only be partially translated at this time. Feel free to submit more translations to OmniROM’s Gerrit. (mostly by Dees_Troy)
-Flashing of sparse images - On select devices you will be able to flash some parts of factory images via the TWRP GUI (by HashBang173)
-Adopted storage support for select devices - TWRP can now decrypt adopted storage partitions from Marshmallow
-Reworked graphics to bring us more up to date with AOSP - includes support for adf and drm graphics (by Dees_Troy)
-SuperSU prompt will no longer display if a Marshmallow ROM is installed
-Update exfat, exfat fuse, dosfstools (by mdmower)
-Update AOSP base to 6.0
-A huge laundry list of other minor fixes and tweaks
WARNING: This is our first release in a long time. We have a lot of new and somewhat aggressive changes in this new release. The changes to the graphics back-end may cause some devices to not boot up properly or have other display-related issues. If you are not in a position to reflash an older build of TWRP, then wait until you are or at least wait until others have tried the new version for your specific device. You don’t want to end up with a non-working recovery and have to wait several hours or days to get to a computer to be able to fix it.
Notes for themers: In addition to the udpated theme, we have introduced a theme version variable to the TWRP theme system. If the theme version does not match the version that TWRP expects, TWRP will reject the custom theme and load its stock theme. This change will ensure that people who update TWRP without updating their theme will still have a workable recovery. We have removed libjpeg support. The stock theme was only using a jpeg image for the splash / curtain. This change means that any custom themes will no longer be able to use jpeg images. It also means that tools used to repack recovery images with a different curtain / splash will need to be updated to use the new method.
Version number notes: For a while we’ve been using a 4 digit version number and reserved the 4th digit for device-specific updates. For instance, we find and fix a device-specific issue like decryption of data on Nexus 5, we would release that as a 2.8.7.1. After a while, some people would start asking where 2.8.7.1 was for other devices. So, going forward we have decided to change the numbering scheme to 3.0.0-2, etc. Our hope is that this version numbering scheme will more clearly identify that the 4th digit does not indicate a version change for the code base.
We need your help! The bulk of TWRP work is done by 3 people on a volunteer basis. We have pushed most of our device files to our github and we have a gerrit instance. If you have the ability, please help us maintain our official devices and/or add your device to our official device list. Thanks in advance!

Though we appreciate the work done by @Santhosh M, is it safe to assume that soon official 2.8.7.0 (or 2.8.6.x) supports YU Yureka on Lollipop bootloader?

Twrp is not working even in KK ROM. Any one tested twrp in latest yureka phones. i have tested two phones. i just got black screen, only CWM works

Unfortunately the Q4.5 doesn't support USB host mode so it can't be used with an external keyboard.

Will test it asap!

It can, it supports bluetooth keyboards.

Bluetooth isn't available in recovery either.
In other news, I pushed the kernel source to github. Link is in the second post. I trimmed about 1.4GB of logos meant for various other models of MTK phones from the original dropbox link that isn't needed or used in the kernel to reduce the upload size. I believe the logo is actually used in the lk bootloader. If I had the source code for the lk bootloader I could probably patch it to allow fastboot mode with working fastboot boot. I've done that on other MTK devices.
To make TWRP fit, I had to lzma both the kernel and the ramdisk instead of gzip. Fortunately we have kernel source for this device so we were able to make TWRP fit and now we have plenty of room for new features too.

Bluetooth probably won't ever happen in recovery. Same for Wi-Fi, phone calls, texting, mobile data, and a whole host of other things that belong in the ROM and not in recovery. These things require proprietary files / binaries to work and a lot of the parts that make them work are in the Java / dalvik / ART side of Android. Java / davlik / ART aren't available in recovery. They would take up way too much space.
Recovery is a mini OS designed to help you get your device back in working order, not a full blown firmware.

Well, you said about fixing fastboot, if that were to happen, would it just be a custom kernel to flash? Or would it be a different method of intallatiion?

In what way have you been getting 'hacked', because I think you will find that hacking is the art of writing code/optimizing the performance of anything, while cracking is breaking into/hijacking a digital system usually for malicious purposes (what the stupid media calls hacking).
Also, if someone really did have remote access to your device, then a software update wouldn't help.

Anyone had any luck installing 2.8.6.0?
I've tried through MTK droid root & tools, as well as through 2.8.5.0 flashing the img to the recovery partition.
It just hangs at the spalsh screen
@Dees_Troy I think 2.8.6.0 is borked on this phone
Reverting to 2.8.5.0 and it boots

So i heard about how @matt4321 was having issues installing the recovery from the app or root shell, do either of these work yet? Or do i just use mtk flash tools to install? or is there a way to temp boot into twrp then use it to install itself? Thanks

I've been using mtk droid root and tools.
2.8.6.0 still doesn't work though

So, as I'm new to all this custom recovery installation without fastboot, would anyone be able to give me a guide on how to use mtk droid root and tools to install twrp?
Many thanks

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.
SUPPORT:
Live support is available via #twrp on Freenode with your IRC client or just click this link.
