[RECOVERY] TWRP 2.8.7.0 touch recovery for Mi4i

[dh.harald]

Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Use it carefully, i didn't tested it very well... At least, installing my CM works
I'm not responsible if you transform your phone into a brick!

I've decided to compile own TWRP.

FEATURES
- Latest cm kernel (https://github.com/dh-harald/android_kernel_xiaomi_ferrari)
- upstream repository from (https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery)
- native 64bit / QCOM_BSP / QCOM HW disk encryption
- f2fs enabled (to use it, you need 20150916 or later CM of mine -- if you're using different CM version, contact to your maintainer)

COMPILE GUIDE
Soon...

HOW TO COMPILE
1. you need to use my minimal repo to create the build environment:

repo init -u git://github.com/dh-harald/twrp_android.git -b cm-12.1

2. add a xml file to local_manifests:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
    <project path="device/qcom/common" name="CyanogenMod/android_device_qcom_common" />
    <project path="device/xiaomi/ferrari" name="dh-harald/android_device_xiaomi_ferrari" />
    <project path="kernel/xiaomi/ferrari" name="dh-harald/android_kernel_xiaomi_ferrari" />
</manifest>

3. sync the repository

repo sync

3. (optional - I don't know is it still need or not) You need to patch external/sepolicy
use this link, what do you need to change: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/89474/
4. compile it

$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch cm_ferrari-userdebug
$ make -jX recoveryimage

X is based on your nr of CPUs

If you have a synced CM working tree, you can try to replace CWM to TWRP, and compile it, but last time it breaks my CM build... -> I use this method

What's different from current TWRP build in Mi Toolkit?

I don't know... I've no spec for old recovery...
At least, it's supporting f2fs filesystem That's why I compile own version

@dh.harald when you say " fastboot boot flash fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-ferrari.img"
It really means " fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-ferrari.img"
correct?
just got confused with the initial "fastboot boot flash "

IIRC, we can just simply push the recovery to its corresponding partition/folder in /dev/block/ using Android's Terminal Emulator using dd, right? Does anyone have a detail of this phone's /dev/block? CMIIW

How can I enable f2fs filesystem?

 

[dh.harald]

How can I enable f2fs filesystem?

Go to Wipe/Advanced Wipe
Select Data/Cache
Select "Repair or Change File System"
Select "Change File System"
Select "F2FS" (Swipe to change will format the filesystem.)
So, if you want to use /data as f2fs, you need to backup everything (sdcard/data)

 

[jelennn]

Can I change to f2fs only this 2 partitions (cache & data)? What about the rest?
