I have a litlle question :eek:

For flash twrp recovery with adb.. the phone needs to run a KK rom.

Here's the question: the installation works with all KK roms (like B512, B510), or must be on a chinese KK version?

I'm a bit confused, because somewhere i've read that only with chinese firmware it's possible to flash custom recovery :eek:

Hello!

You can install/flash TWRP on any Huawei Firmware KitKat.

We used Chinese Firmware for unlock bootloader... but you should check your bootloader to be unlocked before flash twrp.

If is already unlocked you don't need to flash any Chinese Firmware.

Also you can found on General section how you can unlock bootloader without flash Chinese Firmware.

Best regards!

Surdu, if it is possible, could you add a backup/restore of the Internal storage partition to/from the External storage? :confused:

ok, this is for people like me, if you are on windows, dont write sudo (its only for linux), and copy the recovery file to c:\
also, write cd.. and press entre as long as you get to c:\ on the cdm, then write the flashing sentence and you will be ready....

After doing "adb reboot bootloader", any fastboot command says "waiting for device

Hi,

I have recently got an Ascend P6 and I have upgraded it from B108 all the way to B635 (is is a Turkish release, but it works fine in Germany).

I want to replace the stock bootloader with TWRP, but after installing all the drivers (I tried both the Hisuite program and the separate drivers) I can issue the "adb reboot bootloader" command, but then I cannot run any fastboot command (e.g. fastboot flash image or fastboot oem-unlock). When I do, it says "waiting for device".

I tried in both a Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 machine with the same results.

Is there something I am missing or is this because of my phone (when I was doing the updates using the "update.app" method I could see the text "this is a secureboot phone" and "is in LOCK state")

Thank you,
atzakas

@atzakas: yes..you need to unlock your bootloader first before you can replace the recovery..
when you have entered the bootloader you have to enter "fastboot unlock oem UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" (or oem unlock - not sure what at first)..
then maybe you should be able to flash a custom recovery..

    Permanent TWRP Recovery 2.8.1.0


    Huawei Ascend P6



    Changelog :


    Code:
    What's new in 2.8.1.0 :
    [LIST]
    [*]    MTP fixes and improvements - you can now copy zips to the root of storage - thanks to _that
    [*]    TrueType Font support - optional as it takes up a decent amount of space so may not be available on all devices - thanks to Tassadar
    [*]    Temperature support - thanks to bigbiff
    [*]    Various other bugfixes and tweaks
    [/LIST]
    What's new in 2.8.0.0 :
    [LIST]
    [*]    Add MTP support to recovery thanks mostly to bigbiff with a little help from Dees_Troy
    [*]    Add command line capabilities - you can now execute various TWRP features via adb instead of the touchscreen
    [*]    Add support for color in the console and give error, warning, and highlight lines different colors
    [*]    Track backup and restore progress based on file sizes to provide a much more accurate indication of progress
    [*]    Improve handling of /misc thanks to mdmower
    [*]    Improve setting of time on Qualcomm devices thanks to [NUT]
    [*]    Allow using images on slidervalue GUI objects thanks to Tassadar
    [*]    Allow using variables and addition and subtraction in variables for easier theming
    [*]    Add support for 1440x2560, 280x280, and 320x320 resolutions and update 240x240
    [*]    Allow ui.xml file to include additional xml files to help break up the theme and make TWRP easier to maintain
    [*]    Other minor fixes and improvements
    [/LIST]
    What's new in 2.7.1.0 :
    [LIST]
    [*]   Add GUI option to change or repair file systems on individual partitions. The change is destructive so backup your data including internal sdcard first. This option should make it a little easier to migrate a device from ext4 -> f2fs, for instance. You will find this option under Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, then select only one partition and then press the Repair or Change File System button. If a developer has added f2fs support for your device and we don't have it in TWRP, please contact me via PM to arrange for it to be added.
    [*]   Various bugfixes to backup and restore
    [*]   Improvements to USB storage handling
    [*]   Added a class to search for files to make finding the correct brightness file automatic in most cases
    [*]   Various other bugfixes and tweaks
    [/LIST]
    What's new in 2.7.0.0 :
    [LIST]
    [*]    Faster graphics rendering by disabling alpha blending on fully opaque objects thanks to Tassadar
    [*]    Allow sideloading from /tmp on encrypted devices
    [*]    Check for a crypto footer before asking for a password to prevent user confusion
    [*]    Additional checks for validity to auto generated backup names
    [*]    Text wrap in the console output
    [*]    Proper caps lock support in the keyboard
    [*]    Mouse support via USB OTG for devices with a broken digitizer
    [*]    Improve scanning of storage locations for OpenRecoveryScript
    [*]    Haptic feedback for buttons, keyboard, and vibration at the end of longer running actions
    [*]    Fixed ext4 wiping when no selinux contexts are defined for that partition (e.g. sd-ext)
    [*]    Update SuperSU to 1.93 and improve installation process
    [*]    Added selinux contexts restoration to fix permissions
    [*]    Load RTC offset on Qualcomm devices to fix the date/time in recovery
    [*]    USB Mass Storage fixes Add SELinux support checking
    [*]    Add Disk Usage class to better handle excluded folders (e.g. Google Music cache)
    [*]    Add 4.4 AOSP decrypt support
    [*]    Add some toolbox utilities to TWRP (namely to support SELinux functions not supported in busybox)
    [*]    Various SELinux fixes and bug fixes
    [/LIST][CENTER][/CENTER]

    Good News !

    Hello !

    Slow development on our device, but what is essential that is not stopped ... :D

    While I managed to solve all issues related to build TWRP from source ( now resulting recovery.img from build can be flashed without any modificattion ) , I'll start to push my source code to omnirom github - in this way TWRP will be officially and it could be installed directly from GooManager !

    So, this point was achieved !


    If you wonder how it was possible :confused:

    > first , to use all features of this TWRP, we will need to perform a few small changes :

    1° 100% compatibility with custom rom based AOSP , unsure whether they will be ( CM, AOKP, Carbon, Pac-MAN, OmniROM & .... )

    2° on custom rom based stock Huawei Firmware, Internal Storage will not be available ( other functions will be not affected ) - so rom developers need to make some changes on ramdisk from their boot.img - in order to bring full access to Internal Storage on TWRP !


    If I'll have some free time, tomorrow I'll start to push source code also on omnirom github !

    For moment only TWRP will be officially, following later to do the same thing with OmniROM !


    Best Regards !
