[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL][US997/H870][rel_o2/rel_t2][2018-06-08] Melina TWRP v3.2.1

[jimbomodder]

The TWRP changes are in the ramdisk, so start with the latest release. Wherever the theme files are in the ramdisk, mine are just TWRP's with a tint applied to them to go from blue to purple, so replacing the theme images with TWRP's defaults should work in theory.

Ok, well I tried by replacing the whole twres folder and repacked but still came out purple. Not sure what to do next.

Just find and replace .png files

I did, replaced all with stock blue and repacked, flashed and still purple. I know I'm fussy and I do appreciate your work, but it's just a personal preference.

oh right, there are some color definitions in the xml files too.

Edit: Here, use the attached gz file and do the following:

1. Start over with current Melina TWRP initrd untouched
2. extract it, and change directory to "twres" under the initrd
3. reverse apply the attached gz patch (either gunzip it or something like zcat ~/melina_theme.diff.gz | patch -R -p1 while in the "twres" dir.
4. if you did it right (I tested locally), it should patch all the xml and png files successfully (see here)
5. You now have default TWRP theme (with images and xml) without losing Melina features.

I don't change the theme files often, if at all, so this patch likely works across all older, and even probably some future releases of Melina TWRP, unless a theme change comes from upstream.

Hi zefie. Just wanted to let you know... TWRP for h870 does now work with oreo. I mean flashing the recovery.img goes ok, but when i try to enter the recovery i see twrp welcoming screen for a couple of seconds and then the phone reboots and restores the stock recovery. In other words, twrp flashes ok but does not stick . Any chance for a quick solution??

 

[siggey]

Probably you must root after twrp flash, like on nougat

Same here but the same also happens on stock twrp.

Cannot flash anything because twrp doesn't boot up. Just the splash screen and then the phone reboots itself before twrp reaches it's main screen.

You need to flash this first , then format data as it's encrypted again and then you can flash Melina recovery in current twrp. Once done reboot back to recovery and you will have Melina's twrp

I still get some errors everytime i reboot into twrp (with and without melina twrp).
I can't access internal storage from recovery or mount data.

I have the exact same issue after Oreo update. Every time I reboot into TWRP I can't mount /data (I formatted it before of course).

 

[JackErskine]

I just can't get this to work on oreo

There is no fix.

Same problem here.
It seems to be a common problem of TWRP with Oreo, but after some research I found that modded versions of TWRP for other phone models have been released to solve the issue. So I hope something similar happens here.:angel:

As you say
There is a fix for note 8 ( https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/fix-twrp-data-mount-issue-oreo-t3768928 ) <-- maybe this will help someone to create a fix for G6

Foolishly I upgraded from an earlier version to t2 as I was having problems with Oreo as described (I was using recovery_TWRP_H870-3.2.1-0_melina_exFAT_timefix_sdext_purple_v2.img) - before I upgraded to the latest t2 version it was possible to reformat DATA as EXT2 and then back to EXT4 and it cleared the issues around failing to access Data - with t2 this didn't work either so I couldn't restore my Nougat TWRP backup and my only option was to UPPERCUT the stock 20A KDZ so I'm now back to stock/unrooted.... at least for a while

So, not a fix but a workaround possible in whatever changed between latest and the older version of TWRP?
