[RECOVERY] TWRP 2.8.7.x for Kirin variant

[reas0n]

Be sure You have unlocked Your bootloader before.
I don't have this variant of P8, it was already tested but still please report any issues and I'll try to fix them.
Remember it's for Kirin version only.

INSTALLATION:
Just flash it via Fastboot and You should be fine. There's also a possibility to flash it via 'dd' in adb shell, it works too.

DOWNLOADS:
Go!!!!!

CHANGELOG:
v1:
- Initial release
v2:
-fixed resolution
-fixed brightness settings

CREDITS:
- TeamWin for making TWRP, of course
- @jniklast for custom graphics.c for newer Kirin SoCs

Update: The version for Kirin has been tested and it works, so You can flash it and test more without being afraid that You would break anything Meanwhile I'm still waiting for the report from Qcom variant user.

Kirin version is okay, but Qcom version made issues so I won't release it.

OP has rectified the issue.

So thread cleaned and lets stick to development talk now. :good:

Thanks,

Edit: Also, the report button is all you need in the future. No need for drama in the threads. Or use pm's.

 

[reas0n]

New version is up.

v2:
-fixed resolution
-fixed brightness settings

Fastboot, dd method or just Flashify app from Play Store.

Thanks alot for the Recovery. I got my phone today and have in the mean time asked Huawei to release the kernel source for ALE-21/23 and they have replyed to me. Here are the kernel sources: http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=detail&mid=103. As soon as I have time I will look into building a custom rom for the P8 Lite

Nice that You appreciate it.

By the way, I was said that there are some issues with making a backup to external storage, could someone confirm it?
