[RECOVERY] TWRP 2.6.3.0 touch recovery [2013-09-16]

[Sajito]

Actually, as far as I remember the official 2.7.0.0 had problems too . That's why they pulled it from the downloads section.

I don't know, but when they released 2.7.0.0 they announced a lot of phones wouldn't be supported anymore and the sensation was one of the unsupported phones, so I think all the twrp build from official mirror were submitted to them by someone, but not actually made and tested by them. Though that's only a guess.

Do you have any references on bringing up TWRP support for a device? Ancora lacks it and we're planning to look into it, but so far nothing useful came out of it.

@ivanich do I need to do anything myself to use cache and data as f2fs?

Format those partitions to f2fs and use fstab with f2fs mount options. Thats all.

Using it now for nearly 2 days and seems really stable. Don't know if your maybe already working on it, but can you do something for the led in recovery? It doesn't seem to work

According to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50336164&postcount=392

in fact TWRP doesn't have support for that at all, but it's an easy addition to the code

And there is a commit for adding charge led support https://github.com/tdhite/android_bootable_recovery/commit/4a1f7faa6d45e0a396ffb59e700c0ea0078aa6e0

I believe this is not a very important feature for recovery so we can skip it

Oh well then it's all fine

By the way, to you know a way to change filesystem without loosing data?

FS changing without loosing data not supported, especially from ext4 to f2fs. You can just tar files from /data to sdcard, then format /data to f2fs and put them back, this is how I did.

TrueImage lol... j/k, really good question infact.

Help! Bricked!

Help!

After flashing TWRP recovery and changing partition types, every time i flash any rom I get stuck at the HTC logo! Ive reflashed recovery to 4EXT and set /data /sytem and /cache back to EXT4 and wiped clean and same thing! Is this the TWRP Brick bug?? Looks like i killed my sensation xe :crying:

Is there anything i can do to save my beloved device??

In case of "brick" /data partition gets corrupted and there is no possibility to mount it and flash any ROM, apparently your data partition is fine. Probably your device is S-ON, that means you need to flash boot.img separately or use "Dumlock" option in TWRP.

 

[little_lerroyy]

Ive flashed boot.img seperately serveral times to try and solve the problem.

What does Dumlock do?
** googled it its TWRP's version of EXT4's SmartFlash* i see now. I have flashed boot.img several times. ive also done it with 4ext with smart flash enabled. with same issue.

 

[pipyakas]

is there any rom use the f2fs filesystem yet? can i use it with cm12?

 

[mcfouch]

Dees_Troy & Ivanich can you explain us what differ Between the new official twrp 2.8.4.0 from Teamwin web site and yours Ivanich ?

What I believe to know :
- Teamwin build based on Omnirom with a "generic" kernel for pyramid
- Ivanich one based on your own cm12 and your specific kernel dedicated to pyramid with f2fs support

Am I wrong ? What else ?

Thanks for your answer and thank you very much for your work.

My version of twrp based on my kernel and device tree which I'm using for cm12 builds.
