Does this work on dual sim? And if it does could you include tested software version ?
I don't know, because nobody tested it, and I only have one SIM. But I'm quite sure it works, and if it doesn't, nothing could go wrong.
Edit: The software version doesn't matter, if it works for 1.20 it will work for all versions.
I can confirm that it's working on dual SIM device. Until now I have any issues. I have 1.13.401.2 software version.

1. Download the kernel and superuser zip, and save them on you sdcard
2. Mount /system. (under Mount)
3. Flash the kernel (under Install)
4. Flash the superuser (same)

Thanks i hope this is tested on dual sim version.I saw many dead devices
Wait. I have an issue... It restarts my phone during making of backup. I tried to make a backup of boot, data, android_secure and system partitions. It made backup of boot, data, android_secure and their md5 checksums, but after, during making of backup system partition, the phone restarts and boot to system.

Bang!! my device is bricked. It's a dual sim version and is not booting up in neither fastboot nor os even pc isn't detecting the phone. onle led is blinking if I connect the phone with a charger with or without battery. Service center guys asked around 8500 Indian rupees nearly about 145USD for replacing the motherboard. It's totally frustrating you know. Any suggestion ?? By the way I'm from India and I can't even the the right stock rom and kernel for the device,It's carrier free version.

Hi,
It is a pity that it for this phone not a real recovery exist.To less interest in development.
What's there makes problems and do not run properly,i´m a little disappointed and i thought that there is more development; even Android 5, LP

A lot of dual sim users complain that their phone doesn't boot after installing cwm. I think this is caused by cwm wiping the misc partition. This is based on this post in the ultimate thread.
It is however not a very practical solution, since you have to do every time you access cwm. Instead I tried to prevent cwm from wiping your misc partition, by outcommenting the misc partition in the fstab file.
But, since I don't have don't have the dual sim model, I need someone (experienced, who knows how to fix a bootloop) to test if it works.
I need someone with a filled in misc partition (when entering fastboot, the OS- must be filled in), hboot 1.03 who won't freak out if the phone bootloops.
Multiple people confirmed that it works. I think you can safely try it, but still: everything at your own risk.
Steps:
1. Make sure you have filled in misc partition. This can be done by flashing a firmware.zip, check part 2 of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53901933&postcount=6
2. Install the cwm image from below
3. check if the bootup problem is fixed, and check if you have other problems
Cwm_no_misc_wipe.img (hboot 1.03)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/g8g06wi5ipiw9cb/recovery_cwm_no_misc.img?dl=0(hboot 1.02 and below)
Hmm, would flashing the ZIP from the post you linked be enough to fix the /misc partition, so that I can test your CWM? (I'm not afraid of a boot loop as long as I can still go into fastboot)

Not for the recovery.
Just make sure you have a filled in misc partition, else it won't do anything.
I flashed this new recovery and I noticed any difference (seems not working: I still have the same problem after I turn my phone off (power it off); I still have to remove the battery, wait about 15 minutes, put battery back and then I my phone starts normally). Maybe the reason is wiped this misc partition? How can I check it and - if it be needed - repair it?

Ah.
I wrote the recovery on my apollo device which is running 14.3.2.3.2_user_323001720 version and it appears to work flawlessly. I booted into recovery (TWRP) successfully and rebooted the system successfully as well. Awesome!
Thanks for the feedback, glad it's all working
I haven't got a device at the moment to try it out on.

Hello tuanda82,
It depends on Amazon, my unlocked Apollo stopped working so they sent me a new one but came pre-installed with 4.5.2.
They have refused to downgrade me back to the old firmware. And after a lot of to and fro they agreed to replace it again .
I hope I have luck with the new device been on the required firmware.
But yes I definitely would like to make such a release.

I would not be trying interchang eROMs and or backups ppluntil certain things are verified by our developersgosh it only takes a few minutes to understand that one is built for locked bootloader the other one bypasses and they both flash completely different partitions and have different installation scripts.you're just asking to be one of the ignorant whiners on the sidelines while we have fun ..stuck with your brick. be patient guys this is all new stuff if you can't afford to be a developer then I devise you let somebody else take the risk
Can you tell me where TWRP Recovery is stored and what the boot process is like? Is TWRP called by the boot loader instead of the Linux kernel and it will in turn then start the Linux kernel from your installed system?
What happens when TWRP Recovery is damaged? Is there still a way to recover?
And is there a difference in how TWRP is started as opposed to Safestrap?
Edit: ok, so I see that TWRP Recovery is flashed to the recovery partition, so I guess it's separate from the boot image. And pressing volume up + the power button presumably activates the recovery image rather than the boot image. Did Safestrap work in the fashion I described? Why are we using TWRP for recovery now instead of Safestrap? Are there any advantages?

New recovery system
- Allows for custom kernels (meaning, CyanogenMod, Overclocking, and other things)
- Installed to "recovery" partition
- Bypasses signature verification check with some weird thing about exponents of 3 and the cubed root of something. I don't entirely understand how the exploit works.
- Called from the bootloader
- If you're in a bootloop, hold VOL+ & POWER (I think) to boot into TWRP.
SafeStrap
- No custom kernels (no CM)
- Installed to "system" partition (no key presses can get you to here if you're in a bootloop)
- Designed to provide semi-custom ROMs on devices with locked bootloaders
- Called from the Kernel

The main problem for cm on appolo seems to be the kernel/bootloader. To run CM kernel (or amazon > 3.2.4) we need (or at least its the only way I found) to modifiy the boot image to manually happen the DT information's to the kernel zImage. Unfortunately this was tested with @ggow and it's not working on appolo. If someone if willing to send me an appolo device I could work on that ...

Amazon are sending me a new Apollo device (again)... hopefully I'll be back in business soon. I think there was something wrong with my device which is why I was having so many problems.
When I get the new device, hopefully it will be on the required firmware for me to try out the new kernel and CM. I'll report back when I have something... Shouldn't take me too long to get something up and running once I have a working device.

Hello people,
I was able to successfully build twrp 3.0 for suzuran (our device, duh!) and thought I'd share the recovery.img so you can test and see what works and what doesn't.
The recovery was built in a CM13 similar environment (PAC), so there might be some issues when working with stock kernel.
Since this is an experimental build (I tested main functionalities and they work, but didn't get down to the nitty-gritty), here's a small disclaimer:
By flashing or booting the attached recovery you're risking damaging you device, or losing the data on your device!
Neither I nor anyone else but YOU is responsible should any bad unintended problems appear!
If you're feeling adventurous then feel free to flash the recovery.img (along with Androplus kernel) and try the sweetness that is TWRP 3.0 :good:
Download link:
April 3, 2016 (3.0.1)
March 25, 2016
March 21, 2016
March 12, 2016
Known issues:
Temperature reading is botched
Crypto might not be working, like AT ALL
usb connection doesn't work (only if you use this recovery with Androplus kernel)
There could be more problems, which is why this is EXPERIMENTAL for now
And now let's get to the sources!
kernel:
[url]https://github.com/oshmoun/kernel/tree/aosp/LA.BF64.1.2.2_rb4.7[/URL]
device sources:
[url]https://github.com/oshmoun/device-sony-suzuran/tree/master[/URL]
[url]https://github.com/oshmoun/device-sony-kitakami/tree/master[/URL]
[url]https://github.com/SonyCM/device-sony-common/commits/cm-13.0[/URL]
And now to thank the people who helped in this endeavor:
TWRP team for the awesome recovery!
@nilezon for the TWRP flags (which I still need to go through to check if I missed/need anything, especially crypto flags...)
FXP team for device sources, Especially @adfad666
All of the Sony AOSP contributors, they're awesome people!

this is really weird, did the MM update also change something in the bootloader in an inconvenient way?
Could you try the other recovery.img from nilezon's thread? If that boots using "fastboot boot recovery.img" then we'll know the problem is somewhere in the .img itself

Could you try the other recovery.img from nilezon's thread? If that boots using "fastboot boot recovery.img" then we'll know the problem is somewhere in the .img itself

The img's MD5 is right.
I'll try to boot Z5C_TWRP_152_v2_nilezon on my device later.
It worked before I upgraded to MM.

I have no idea.
Z5C_TWRP_152_v2_nilezon doesn't work on MM.
I flash Android 5.1 and try your TWRP3.0, still stuck at SONY logo(with no LED light).
Z5C_TWRP_152_v2_nilezon can work on 5.1.
Now I'm flashing MM again.

Thanks! Guess the issue lies in the MM update somewhere.
You just said that nilezon's recovery works on 5.1, but did you try it after flashing 5.1, or are you basing that statement on previous tests?
The issue here might be that you didn't downgrade the bootloader when you flashed 5.1 again, which would mean the issue will persist.
Hello,
I tried booting(didn't flash) with MM and it seemed to boot into recovery fine. Used it to do a cache wipe, but afterwards phone is stuck on boot screen. I can turn it off with power + volume, but it doesn't seem like I can go back to fast boot.

You should be able to go into fastboot mode by turning device off, holding vol+ button, then connecting the device to your computer through usb

Yeah thanks. Took something like 10 tries before it finally went into fastboot. Not sure what went wrong there. Also on my first try I was able to boot into your build of twrp. But afterwards when I try it just gets stuck on the logo again.

Could you flash bootloader from 5.1 ftf and see if it works properly then?
I'll (finally) update to MM today , so I'll witness the issues first hand.

nope, not your problem, it's everyone's
seems like my twrp version just refuses to boot sometimes.
Was able to successfully replicate the fastboot issue on 5.1 bootloader, so it's definitely this recovery.
Now the question is if it's a TWRP 3 issue, or just in the way I built it
EDIT: I guess this post answers my question
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65808636&postcount=137
another twrp 3 recovery is having the same issue
guess I'll have to make this recovery flashable in order for it to work properly
EDIT 2: wow, Androplus kernel seems to go well with TWRP 3. Updated first post with new instructions on how to use this.

[Stock Rom] Huawei (Prague) PRA-xxxC432B182
For restoring/ rescue your device.P8 Lite 2017 - PRA-LX1, LX2, LX3, LA-1
P9 Lite 2017
Nova Lite
Honor 8 Youth
Created and tested on this device:
Huawei P8 lite 2017 [PRAGUE]
Model number: PRA-LX1
Build number: PRA-LX1C432B182
free device
The PRA is extrem sensitiv.
Any unconsidered, unofficial intervention, don't forgive it.
Hundreds of users have already "bricked" their device.
The response to the dealers is enormous.
To restore your devices,
I'll provide a complete rom.
It is 100% functional and rooted with SuperSu.
It is to be applied to the device via TWRP restoring.
But it is also suitable for this purpose without an OTA update,
to get the current firmware.
Be sure to read the following instructions carefully.
You're doing it at your own risk!
Rom installation:
In the download folder:
2017-12-30-PRAstockB182root (zip)
there are 26 backup files compressed as Zip files.
After downloading, unpack all files individually into this directory. Then delete all zip's. Now copy the whole directory to your TWRP backup folder. Where your other backups are.
Now flash the stock recovery and perform a factoryreset.
Now flash TWRP and make a wipe of the data and system partitions in TWRP.
Then restore my backup and reboot.
The firmware and the kernel are already rooted.
If necessary, you can install Busybox.
If the device does not boot, the bootloader must be unlocked again with the Huawei unlockcode.
It is a little bit more work for you to unpack everything individually, but this way a faultless installation is possible.
I have tested the up- and download, unpacking and restoring several times. It works perfectly. The rom is bug free.
Now create a new TWRP backup
and remove all older backups from the TWRP backup folder, otherwise they could cause problems later.
Save it to another folder or to
USB-/Stick, or HD.
I would now like to make a few comments on the end of the year:
I've had the P8 lite 2017 for a year.
The first rooting was developed by me.
The SuperSu and the first rooted kernel,
enabled the developers
@Tecalote and KangVip.
TWRP was provided by the LineageOS team. Again and again I have added fresh rootings and roms.
Nevertheless, increased Bricks are not missing.
It took an enormous amount of time to find
help the users. Unfortunately, this didn't work out for everyone.
My recommendation:
Now set up your device completely. Then create a complete backup with the ingenious Huawei Backup App. Now you take the recovery back.
"fastboot flash recovery recovery. img"
Removes TWRP from your brain for the time being.
Your device is now perfect and the firmware is original. You also have root and the OTA update authorization. When OREO comes, you just wait until I announce the new rooting."
I wish you all the best for 2018.
WARNING !
If all this has worked on my device, it does not mean that it goes with everyone else. Follow exactly the instructions to prevent damage. The execution is your risk.
Never make a factory reset in TWRP. Brick !!! Wipes only in stock recovery.
NOTE: Despite careful preparation I can not guarantee that through the implementation of this Guidance does not create damage to the device or operating system, and therefore assume no liability for ensuing damage and malfunction of hardware and software! If you are still unsure, follow these steps: Only perform the procedure if any mentioned conditions (model number, Android version, etc.) apply to you or your device. Read the instructions carefully and completely, check unfamiliar terminology by google or xda. Downloaded files check for viruses. A backup of important settings and data make. The instructions do not perform, if you do not know what you're doing.
Thank you very much: @Tecalote, KangVip,Chainfire, Stephen (Stericson), Jmz Software, LinageOs team, JRummy, as well as.
Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
Update 2017-12-31:
I removed the part "dual recovery".
The support on xda is finished.
Only here:

I couldn't restore my phone. I followed all of your instructions and after restoring, when I reboot, the phone goes only in TWRP (no volume keys pressed). Any ideas on what I can do?
In any case thank you for the thread, it's good to have a well described procedure for these things
Restore your last backup and repeat the procedure.
Try this one first:
Root again with the SU (B182) from the download.
Tip for life: try not to trust random nerds on forums, offering "ROMs" and what they call "tutorials". Stick to the outlet which sold you the phone, and deal with them and/or the manufacturer, and you can't go far wrong.

I had the same situation. It's a bit tricky and you must really know, what you are doing
I rebooted to bootloader an repeated the oem unlock -> this caused a factory reset!!
I am on dual recovery and so I rebooted to twrp, repeated the restore with the b182 stock rom and could reboot to the system

UPDATE: I solved in another way, which is: booted to fastboot mode, restored the stock recoveries (recovery1 to recovery1, erecovery to recovery2), then the phone booted normally as it should have had. At that point I could reflash twrp to recovery1, but that is optional.
I think the phone tried to boot but having the wrong recovery in recovery2 slot caused problems (just a random hypothesis). Hope this helps

Hello!
I want to follow this guide, it should be fine for my Dual SIM Variant, right?
I have a problem with one file, that is 'version.emmc.win.md5.zip' that can't be downloaded from MEGA. Can someone please provide a working link for that file?
Also a doubt: when all the files will be ready my idea is to restore your TWRP backup, flash stock recovery then lock bootloader, to make it as near to stock as possible: will this work? I have another TWRP backup that is running on my phone, but if I lock the bootloader it won't start, if I unlock the bootloader there no problems at all.
Thanks for your interesting topic!

EDIT 2: I made some mistakes here and there, but the TWRP booted and now I have the phone on your ROM Version! I'm trying to clean everything and do a clean install if I can...
EDIT 3: I've done a full phone clean by using the 'Factory Reset' option in 'Settings'... now the phone boots, but:
1. NFC/GPS are not working, they are blinking
2. FM Radio is not working (it says com.huawei.... and has an Android icon instead of the original icon)

To get the rom completely clean you do the following:
Go to my root thread section: Threadupdate: 2018-01-02 and work through the instructions. Then you have a perfect clean stock rom.

I have problems on the steps to reproduce, even after reading your guide :')
This is what I do:
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset + Wipe cache with stock recovery
2. Flash TWRP
3. Open TWRP, clean data, system and also cache + dalvik
4. Reboot the phone to a fully working with B182, in English with Dual SIM fully recognised
5. What I have to do from now on to have a fully stock experience (remove custom Kernel, reflash stock recovery and erecover, re-lock bootloader and fully ready to Oreo)?
Can you please guide me?
Thanks and sorry for my problems, but I work with Nexus devices thare a bit more 'elastic' in flashing
The kernel is stock. You just have to flash the eRecovery and recovery. That's all.

Ok, thanks!
This is what I did before, but I can't do a factory reset due to the problems described (Radio FM not working, NFC not working).
I can't also relock the bootloader, because the phone will boot to erecovery (recovery2) and won't let me reach the boot of the ROM. Have you got any suggestion?
If leave it as it is now (unlocked bootloader with stock recovery1 and recovery2) will Oreo arrive without any problems?
Your support is awesome, thanks

DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible if you brick or damage your phone in any way by using this recovery. It is always advisable to fully backup your phone before playing around with recoveries, custom roms and similar stuff.
What has been tested and works:
- Touchscreen
- Installing flashable zips
- Flashing images
- Flashing the recovery itself
- Creating backups (to internal storage, sdcard or OTG)
- Restoring from backups
- Terminal
- adb
- Rebooting to system, recovery, bootloader, ...
That doesn't mean that other things don't work. It just means they weren't tested yet. As I proceed with testing I will update the above list.
Usage (without flashing)
Bash:
# boot to bootloader
adb reboot bootloader
# boot to recovery
fastboot boot twrp-3.5.2_10-kiev.img
If you want to flash you have 2 options
Bash:
# boot to bootloader
adb reboot bootloader
# ********* OPTION 1 *********
# Flash to active slot (replace <slot> with either a or b, depending on the current active slot).
# Of course, you can flash to both by first specifying a and then b.
fastboot flash recovery_<slot> twrp-3.5.2_10-kiev.img
# ********* OPTION 2 *********
# boot to recovery
fastboot boot twrp-3.5.2_10-kiev.img
# Once in the recovery, copy the twrp image file to your internal storage
adb push twrp-3.5.2_10-kiev.img /sdcard/Download
# Then go to Install, then Install image, select the twrp image you pushed before.
# Then select the Recovery partition and swipe to confirm.
# Before swiping you will have the option to decide if you want to flash to both slots.
Download: google drive
Sources will be posted in due time and this post will be updated accordingly.

Great!
Tested on my Moto G 5G XT2113-3. Seems to work properly. Good job. Awaiting to flash it.
It shouldn't brick my device as long as I use it as a boot command and not flash, right? Is this associated with Hexen's version of unofficial twrp-3.5.2_10.0_BT-1.3??

By doing fastboot boot recovery.img you will not brick anything. However, I cannot guarantee for any of the functions in the recovery. They should be thoroughly tested before. I used it to fully backup my phone, I used the terminal and adb. Rebooting works, but I haven’t had a chance to test other functions.
Until now I didn’t even know that there’s already another twrp. I thought, judging by the posts in this forum, that there was a recovery in which the touchscreen didn’t work until you decrypted the filesystem with a password/PIN/…
I compiled the kernel by myself. I turned off some CONFIG_XYZ flags in order to be able to load the drivers that I manually extracted from my device. I packed the kernel in the recovery in which I modified some files in order to load the driver at the right point. I’ll post the full tutorial when I have time.

Hexen's released twrp is just that.
Since the touchscreen-related problems have not been completely fixed, only the source has been released.
The one released here is the first fully functional twrp.

Once inside the recovery I went to Install, then Install image, once I selected the twrp-3.5.2_10-kiev.img file that I previously pushed, twrp asked me on which partition I would like to flash it. I selected the Recovery partition. (Although I ask myself why does the phone have a separate recovery partition if it is an A/B device. I still have to figure this out. Normally in these devices one would have to pack the recovery into the boot imate and than flash the whole thing to the boot partition.)
Then I rebooted to recovery and it took me directly to twrp. The problem, however, is that the touch screen didn't work anymore. So, I guess I got myself some extra work But it'll be fun. I can't wait to put my hands on it.
Did you manage to find the rom for your phone?

Hexen's released twrp is just that.
Since the touchscreen-related problems have not been completely fixed, only the source has been released.
The one released here is the first fully functional twrp.

I tried Hexen's recovery. It's easily fixable to make the touch work. It took me two minutes. I'll let the guys working on it know how to do it. But first I have to figure out why does the touch screen stop working once you flash the recovery.
