[RECOVERY][3.0.2.0][OFFICIAL] TWRP Recovery for Plank (Honor 7)

[paulobrien]

I've been working on creating the basic device tree needed to get the latest TWRP built for our Honor 7s and most importantly, accepted as an official TWRP recovery.

Edit: We're now official! Download from the TWRP website.

Test updated version:

I've been working on creating the basic device tree needed to get the latest TWRP built for our Honor 7s and most importantly, accepted as an official TWRP recovery. I think I'm basically there, but if anyone can put this test build through its paces, that would be great.

Being officially supported by TWRP means that future recovery versions will be automatically built (and you'll be able to install using their tool from the Play Store), so it's worthwhile effort getting to this point.

Flash in the usual way, using 'fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-plank-test.img' and let me know how you get on. Cheers!

I've seen that on a bunch of devices actually. Wonder if it's related to the 'secure wiping'...

go to settings and select "Use rm -rf instead of formatting" it will go faster

 

[themegaphoenix]

well done
you lot are excellent!
by the way, what is the difference between yours and @jemmini twrp3?
Post
also, when is it going to become official TWRP?
any bugs?
thanks a lot and keep the good work coming!

 

[paulobrien]

I imagine they will be basically the same.

It should become official TWRP as soon as a feature we need merged in is actioned and my work is OK'd. Hopefully not too long.

The Gerrit change (to fix a problem with the touchscreen when recovery first boots) that we need is here - https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/17768/.

Yes, it's actually using the PLK-L01 B330 kernel.

Tested on B180 Lollipop, wiped cache and dalvik, used rm -rf instead of formatting option and very quick wiping. Made a back-up and one error report about being ''unable to locate 3rmodem partition for backup calculation'', but I think we just probably don't have this partition on our phone?

This version also remembered all my settings, time zone, timeouts etc from previous TWRP version.

All seems good so far.

Ah, think I can fix that, thanks for the heads up.

OTG is working on test2. Backup 3rdmodem is working, too.
