Hi, anyone here who can build a custom recovery (maybeTWRP)

[scotty2000]

Hi all, did anyone build a recovery? I would do it but I haven't got a computer that runs Linux and I am not firm with it at all.

Edit: I couldn`t use any method that I found to create a custom recovery, is there anyone with more success?
Also I could not use SP-Flash tool to make a backup, did anyone succeed and how?
Thanks

If anybody cares about this and is willing to test some blind builds of TWRP, let me know (by replying here).

Well, a month has passed, and I've forgotten everything I knew about this device, but I'll give it a shot when I have a chance. Stay tuned.

EDIT: It seems a month ago I built a test recovery for this device, but was waiting for a response before posting it. So @patrixs94 I'm attaching it here. Give it a try and let me know if it boots, and if so, I'll need a recovery log from it.

Ok, I will test it. Have one question - is it safe? In case of bootloop occurs, do you have any idea how to exit it? Can't find any RUU in web - that was the way I ever exit it, and by this way I was restoring official software. Is there any another way?

Flashing recovery shouldn't bootloop your device. Recovery is an entirely separate partition. You can try using "fastboot boot recovery.img" to see if that works, as that won't change anything on the device, but not all devices support it.

Honestly though, if you're not comfortable enough to test this, then there's no reason for me to work on this. Like I said, I know next to nothing about this device, so I need someone that can help me debug and provide logs, etc. Otherwise this exercise is futile.

Hi,

thank you, it´s great you are working on TWRP for this phone! I have tried to use it. After download it says booting on notebook and Start downloading on phone:

C:\fastboot\ fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading `boot.img`......
OKAY (1.453s)
booting...

After hard restart the phone works again.

Does it helps you?

All that tells me is that your device doesn't support fastboot boot. So you'll need to flash it to test whether it works or not.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

 

[vejda]

Thx. Flashed, after booting to recovery mode there is start screen, but I am not able to swipe to unlock it. Where can I find the log? Is it something like db.fatal.dbg?

/tmp/recovery.log

Is adb working? If so, you can adb pull the above file. Then I can at least see how much is working (besides touch being broken).

 

[vejda]

Yes, ADB works, but the file doesn´t exist (with the way /tmp/recovery.log). Only general bugreport, attached.

The recovery log has to exist while in TWRP.

 

[vejda]

ADB doesn´t run while TWRP, screen attached.

That error is on the computer side, not on the device. Fix your adb on your computer and then try adb in TWRP again.

Ok, thx. I am not expirienced user of it, but try to solve it Where are all the others? Hey!!

Here is the log, I was using old ADB.
