[OFFICIAL ][RECOVERY] [20-08-2017] TWRP 3.2.3-0 - TeamWin Recovery Project

WHAT IS TWRP?

Team Win Recovery Project is a custom recovery for Android devices.
It allows you to back up and restore your data, flash custom ROMs to your device, repair broken file systems, and root your device.

Read more about TWRP here: https://twrp.me/about/

What's new in 3.2.1-0:

* minui fixes (cryptomilk) * Better android-8.0 compatibility in ROM trees (Dees_Troy) * Fix missing library in android-8.0 (nkk71) * Fix inconsistent SDCard naming (DevUt) * Default to TWRP restore instead of adb backup restore to fix restore on fresh TWRP boot (jlask)

BUGS:
If you have an issue, the first step is to post a recovery log so we can determine the cause of the issue. This is done in recovery using Advanced -> Copy Log, or adb pull /tmp/recovery.log. Once a log is uploaded we can determine how best to proceed.

Great work, however, I can't find it in twrp app from playstore. Will this be updated soon?

What's the difference between an installation from twrp-App and flashtools?

currently due to an error i made while uploading our device info i set the file to go over to twrp main page, i have already sent out a fix but needs review once its approved, it should be up and running to work with the app

That's good news.
But again, what's the difference between an installation of twrp from its app and via flashtools. Is it in the end the same? Or do you recommend one of both methods?

If you already have root, i recommend the app, since its an easier to way to download, install/update the recovery, but if you dont have root you need at least once to install it from flash tools, since the app is not an option yet for the moment(its not on devices list, but you can manually install it), you can download the image and flash it through the app (if you have root, that is) if you dont have roog you need to use flash tools

I have P9000 with Nougat on it, version Elephone_P9000_20170418 and I'm trying to install TWRP 3.0.2 with SPFlash Tool, I only check recovery and flash it, but when I start the phone in recovery mod displays only show "no command". Is there any scatter file for this version, and what should I do to flash it through SPFlash Tool?

Any scatter file from one of our stock roms should do the trick, just put it alongside the downloaded twrp image, and flash it, also twrp 3.0.2 is not official, unlike this one, this one will be able to be updated directly through the twrp app once the issue is fixed.

Without root then or is it always required for this app?

the app will always require root, but you can always use magisk with the certification bug fix and magisk hide so that you can have the device certified and still be rooted. (if you dont know what certification is used for, its to allways allow the usage of android pay)

Thanks for your work
The onely thing that doesn't work for me is OTG.

Thanks for the log but next time use pastebin so you dont make a huge post (and i have copied the log and later on ill see it, so you can edit and delete the log from post so it doesnt fill the thread, thanks)

Good day!

My apologies as I am new to this, but I can't seem to find the link to the scatter file that you mention. Could you help me, please?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the trouble.

its available in any stock rom that is flashable with sp flash tools

You can try to compare your sources with those of Jonny. The TWRP versions which he build worked for me.

Edit: I tried to fix it by myself and after I used another kernel (Darksense kernel) as prebuild kernel it worked.

That's great. I've just checked with my device and can verify it works well. Thanks for your efforts.

 

[IvanRod]

Works just perfectly. Good job with the app part, I had the app for a long time and our Elephone never apeared, now it is just perfect. Thanks

I didn't quite understand what are scatter files for, now I did some research and downloaded the most up-to-date stock ROM and now everything is fine!

Thank you for your help!
