[RECOVERY][Huawei P7][Unofficial TWRP Recovery 3.0.3-0]

Hi everyone.
Here's my build of TWRP 3.0.0-0 for Huawei P7.

Features:

• Supports USB OTG, so you can use USB flash drive as external storage for backups, zip installations.
• Added feature to make backup/restore of internal storage.
• Added feature to make backup/restore of oeminfo partition. This partition contains info about vendor and current installed version. So in case if you want to rollback to 4.4.2, for example, or revert back your previous vendor version, you can just restore oeminfo from backup with 4.4.2 version or other vendor and flash appropriate firmware without flashing transition package, vendor and without getting "cust fail" error.
• Combined with stock EMUI 3.1 recovery. In case of power-on by holding power + vol+ or rebooting into recovery by command or any 3rd party application: will boot in TWRP. In case of local update, OTA-update, factory reset from menu or "force update" (3buttons method): will boot into EMUI recovery. Thus you don't have to flash stock recovery before OTA-update, flashing official firmware or doing factory rest.
• Off-mode charger updated from EMUI 3.1 (for 4.4.2)
• custom.bin and cust symlinks are saved/restored (if they were exist) in case of Wipe/Format Data. So there is not gonna be "cust" issues after factory reset in TWRP.
• Excluded SuperSU from build.
• Enabled encrypted data support.
• Screen lock by power button replaced with screen off.

Requirements:

• Unlocked bootloader
• Android 4.4.2 - 5.1.1

Installation:

• Reboot in fastboot mode
• Flash image via fastboot

fastboot flash recovery TWRP_P7-3.0.0-0.img
fastboot reboot

From TWRP: Press "Install" and select zip-archive

Known issues:
Because internal storage is not a separate block device and just a subfolder of "userdata" partition, before you can make backup/restore of internal storage, first you should do Mount -> Data. Otherwise you will get error, saying that TWRP can't mount "storage". So don't bother if you'll see this error.

HI

While i want enter to recovery mood <>>>appears on program hisuite not supported :crying::crying:

 

[moviehunter2009]

works on P7 L00? Do you know?

 

[Kostyan_nsk]

Yes, it works.

 

[usb2]

Is there a possibility to update twrp to 3.0.2?

 

[Kostyan_nsk]

Of course it's possible, but since 3.0.2-0 release has passed 3 months already, IMO it has a sense to wait for the next version before update.
And because now I'm busy with some other stuff.

Finally! A TWRP that actually works on my P7-L10! Thank you!

 

[l.capriotti]

can anyone confirm flashify can be used (with root and unlocked bootloader of course)?

EDIT: I took my chances and tried, it worked!

 

[DragonRUJ]

@Kostyan_nsk, about your build (TWRP_P7-3.0.0-0.img):

1. Is it compatible with an unlocked and rooted P7-L12 (4.4.2, EMUI 2.3, stock recovery)?

2. Could you confirm if we can flash it via RASHR, please?

Thanks for your time and keep up the good work.

 

[Kostyan_nsk]

1. I'm not sure about emui 2.3, but with 4.4.2 emui 3.0 works for sure.
2. Yes, you can use Rashr or Flashify.

@Kostyan_nsk hello
Is the source code for this project public?
I'm trying to port Lineage OS for this device, and I would appreciate if you could send me the source for this TWRP or the github url of the repo (if it's public).
Thanks

And how is your progress?
How do you think TWRP device tree can help you to port Lineage? I'm just curious.
Just FYI, I'm working on it more than half year already and still didn't get fully functional ROM.
I can assure you, TWRP device tree won't help at all...

Major issues at this moment are hw codec and camera not working yet.

Yes.

Hi, I follow the process but I have a problem. When i am trying to get into TWRP using the corresponding bottons there is no response of TWRP, only appears the logo of Huawei when you turn on. What is the cause of that?In the probable case where this problem has no solution, what can I do? How to revert the code above. Thanks.

 

[Crippius]

I have used twrp-2.8.1 for a couple of years with no issues.
But after I upgraded my P7 from B830 to B839 and above, TWRP has become unresponsive.

This new version fixes everything and works like a charm

Thanks :good:

Hi everyone, since G535, G6 4G and P7 mini are substantially the same device (except camera, look here: https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=6678&idPhone2=6168&idPhone3=6332) do you think this recovery is "cross-flashable" ?

 

[Kostyan_nsk]

Those three devices listed by you runs on SD 400, this twrp is for Kirin910. So it's totally incompatable.

Hello I want to know if someone has tried it on a huawei p7-l12 with rom stock android 4.4.2 kitkat and emui 2.3.
