[RECOVERY][pme] TWRP touch recovery

[SacredDeviL666]

You'd have to ask the devs of that app.

thought that was by twrp devs only... my bad....

If you rename the TWRP image file to recovery.img and zip it up with an appropriate android-info.txt file, you can flash it in Download mode as a 2PS6IMG.zip.

And no, you can't flash a zip other than an OTA zip via stock recovery. You have to use TWRP for that.

What? Download mode and the 2PS6IMG.zip don't have a verification? Gotta try that....

Okay, but because the original OTA.zip has a firmware.zip inside with a fota_boot that updates it should be possible to modify (and lose signature, so s-off only) the whole file to skip firmware and only flash recovery.img in firmware.zip

I'm a little bit pissed that I have to ask around for a laptop and download Fastboot tools every time an OTA arrives ^^
Life is hard without a computer.


P.S
Thanks

If /system is untouched and ro.boot.veritymode is still "enforcing", you can flash the downloaded OTA zip with TWRP (TWRP will skip the firmware portion of the install). If you extract the firmware zip from the OTA zip prior to flashing it, that can be flashed as a 2PS6IMG.zip. Then you'd just have to reflash TWRP as a 2PS6IMG.zip (after updating the android-info.txt from the latest OTA) in order to get back where you started. If S-OFF, you could just remove the stock recovery from the firmware zip and flash it as a 2PS6IMG.zip in order to leave TWRP untouched. That's how I usually update.

Hello bro, I need to restore an untouched system to update the FW or like some people are saying a simple signed FW can be flashed in RUUmode?
And if yes flashing a signed FW will wipe my internal SD?
Sorry for being noob

These aren't TWRP-related questions. Please use the Q&A forum or post in a relevant thread.

In fact, I'm pretty sure I recently answered your first question in another thread....

That really works... even on S-On
Isn't that the easiest way to install a recovery?
Just put the 2PS6IMG.zip onto ext_sd Card and reboot Into Download Mode?
(Didn't modify the android-info.txt from OTA Version but works anyway.)

That should even work on a locked Bootloader or not? Is Download Mode limited on locked Bootloader?
Didn't see any verification for 2ps6img in Download Mode. With UL-BL and S-On.

I keep getting error 255 when I try to make a backup on my htc 10 . my twrp version is 3.0.2-4.

I am trying to backup my sys, data, boot.

Locked S-OFF should work fine, as would Unlocked S-ON.

I don't think it's the easiest way, personally, but I have a PC. But it works in a pinch if there's no computer around and I don't have TWRP installed already (for some unknown reason).

Where can I find a link to the TWRP 3.0.2-5?

According to the FAQ, the best TWRP to use right now is the official 3.0.2-4. Any other version is irrelevant.

Just wanted to provide an update and seek advice. I posted previously about how blazing hour my phone got doing even the initial compressed backup to my 128gb Ultra. It was suggested to try internal and it was much cooler though still warm for sure. I've added my 100 or so apps and I bought a 64gb Extreme card and I'm still seeing this problem backing up to SD. And now even going internal is way warm. I've owned probably two dozen Android devices over the years and I've never seen it this warm, even in my metal body M7. I love everything about this phone except doing these backups because I'm afraid this heat will greatly accelerate device failures. Any good suggestions would be appreciated.

 

[vettejock99]

just to know what is the write speed your card is getting and what is your temp of phone before the backup starts and whats the overall temp of your home/area surrounding....

for me my phone is always at 31degree not because its overheating its because of the surrounding where i leave if i am air conditioned place it goes down to 25 even... from 31 it bumps to 34 maximum if i am doing a full backup with a write speed of 53-56mb/s

have you got any case which interferes in your thermal conductors

IIRC it was showing about 45mbps write speeds, but this takes around 5 minutes to complete and produces a 8.5gb compressed backup. It doesn't really get warm until I start backing up. I've been taking the case off every time, which is a pain, and I'm always in an open AC room about 72 degrees F. Does the device show temps while backing up?

 

[TomF1979]

Can I flash in Twrp the Untouched System Image 1.30.401.1_twrp.zip from the Stock Thread here on xda as zip install or as restore?

Because when I go to restore there nothing in the list to choose?

I can't find your post to respond directly. Thanks for the info. One thing I'll note is that my temp is always basically 39 when idle and cool so if you're starting at 31 maybe I've got an issue to start. I'm on latest US unlocked firmware on an unlocked Tmo device FWIW.

its okay i had removed it....

mine is 31degree Celsius in Fahrenheit- 87.80

what is your room temperature and what kernel...

again this would go off topic if we discuss this here further... i would suggest you post your heating concern of the relevant kernel probably the dev could see what exactly it is...but if your phone is static at 39degree Celsius? then its definitely not good but if its Fahrenheit its okay

Okay thanks, after this post I won't take it OT any further. I didn't reallize it was as I thought since it was recovery it wasn't really a kernel thing as much as a firmware or TWRP thing. I did see it down to 35 Celsius today but it's usually 39 Celsius. I'll just keep an eye on it and hope maybe a firmware flash will fix it. Until then I'm going to try an OTG cable backup and maybe have to pop it in the fridge during backup/restores

6. How do I backup stock recovery prior to flashing TWRP?
You can't. The "fastboot boot" command appears to be disabled on the 10's ABOOT, so TWRP must be fastboot flashed over stock recovery. You can however, extract the stock recovery.img from the OTA firmware.zip when it's received and use that to install the OTA.

If I flash the stock recovery extracted from the OTA firmware.zip, won't that stock recovery belong to the new firmware while my phone is still on the old firmware. How, will the updated stock recovery process the OTA?(Would the stock recovery accept the OTA?)

 

[mossief1965]

I flashed TWRP using fastboot. When I go to bootloader and select recovery, it boots to a red triangle. If I then press power + volume up I get what appears to be stock recovery. What am I doing wrong?

What command did you use? Did you notice any errors in the output once you issued the command via fastboot?
