TWRP
2.8.7.0
UNOFFICIAL

Just as the title says this is an unofficial build of TWRP recovery v2.8.7.0 for the HTC DESIRE S (Saga).

*** I DO NOT OWN A DESIRE S*** This has been tested on by numerous users previously and I test all my releases on the nearly identical Desire HD. It has been tested with both Sense roms and current KK/LP AOSP roms. I have put it to the test and not found any issues so far. If you find any bugs please report with an attached recovery log.

I've been requested to create my own thread since i sort of took over maintaining TWRP builds for the time being. These are the same builds I've been providing in the older TWRP thread.

Thank you very much for your kind contribution to the community. I am very appreciated.

Thank you for keeping this device alive for all these years!!!
Having a problem lately though. When I try to connect my phone via fastboot, I just get a USB device not recognized. I have tried to install HTC USB drivers (official and forum downloads) and on my other android devices I have no issues to use fastboot or adb (meaning that it's set up correctly?). Any ideas on how to use fastboot on Windows 10?
Thanks for any help!

It might be possible by using Fastboot.reg method as it is working for me.

Hi,

I've recently found my ds and i thought i'd try out CM12.1 or even CM13. however i'm stuck at installing TWRP-saga-2.8.7.0-unofficial.img.
I can get twrp-2.6.3.0-saga.img to work OK.

Basically, after flashing the latest recovery via fastboot (looks to work OK) and then reboot into recovery, it just hangs on the startup flash screen. I have to pull the battery to get back into the bootloader again.

i have
HBOOT 2.00.2002
S-OFF (unlocked)
RADIO 3822.10.08.04_M

thanks

CM13 uses the opt version, for 12.1 you might also want to go for the opt version. It will mean that you have to format your sd-card as ext4... If you go that way, you need 2.8.7.1.

Maybe there was an error downloading the file? Check the file size just to see if it's offside...

i think i might have remembered something from when i originally was playing with this phone. it has a screen by Hitachi..... i think this stops me from doing anything CM12.1 +...

Yeah, if you have an Hitachi panel you can't run a recent CM... It shouldn't affect the recovery, though... I think

lool, I flashed TWRP-recovery-sagaopt-2.8.7.1.img and issued factory reset... and it formatted my SD card (coz it takes it as internal memory)... I already recovered files most of files, but was "a bit" surprised... was it also like that in previous versions?

Unauthorized

i recently got to stupid situation - i wanted to try cm13 so i used tweaked twrp 2.8.7.1 for saopt sm13 and formated my sd card, loosing everything - i had to load the rom to the phone by using ./adb push. the rom was not stable enough to be used, so i wanted to go back - flashed back twrp 2.8.7.0 formated again my card and finding that i cannot mount phone to my macbook (dunno why?) and that ./adb push returns with info that device is unauthorized. i had to use different phone to put rom on sd card to be able to install it.
tweaked version or older version of twrp did not have this problem.
