[Recovery][D2SPR] TWRP for Boost/Virgin Mobile Phones

[Lrs121]

I've gotten the builds to finish, and have build status tags available on my website. Lrsservers.ddns.net

Please note there are no new builds available and have yet to decide how to best provide the images yet. That's next on my list.

I haven't seen anything related to it. I may be able to take a look at porting twrp if you'd like. The device isn't too expensive so I may be able to pick one up for testing when my tax return comes in.

That would be incredibly gracious of you. I want to get it for her, but without twrp, rooting options are limited. I refuse to use kingroot. A .tar of twrp and Odin are every Samsung owners best friend.

I don't trust kingroot so I don't blame you. No doubt. If you can get me a copy of the boot image I can start the process.

new builds are up. http://lrsservers.ddns.net/download/devices/samsung/d2spr/recovery/virgin-boost/
Yes the url is long its just how Ive been able to structure it. if youre not sure what is the newest. it will always be the recovery labeled one. eg. recovery.img or recovery.tar.md5 these will always be the newest. I will try to remember to trigger a build every month or so depending on how often the code base for twrp updates. Ive also added a status indicator on the op and on my website like ive said before, which will track when builds complete and which fail.

Last note for now. I will not be mirroring the images they will only be posted to my site. others are allowed to provide mirrors so long as there is proper attribution, and provide a link to my images.

So ive finally figured out how to implement system image flashing like you can with boot and recovery images. Is there any request/demand for such a feature?

I couldn't find your latest build instructions. You take those down?

Are you speaking of how to build the recovery or where the latest ones are?

The how to build guide.

I migrated them to a wiki on github. It ended up being easier to maintain there. The link in the third post should be working unless if forgot to update it. In which case here it is again. https://github.com/Lrs121/android_resources/wiki/Build-TWRP-for-D2SPR_Boost-or-D2SPR_Virgin

Hi, guys!

Just so I (and perhaps others) can have a clear, definite answer: does anyone know for sure whether official TWRP (which is now on version 3.0.2-0) works on VM or Boost S3's?

I'm using the official version on my Boost S3 SPH-L710 (not tri-band) and it works fine.
