[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP 3.2.3.0 for the Idol 4

[PizzaG]

Hey all, back again with an updated TWRP for you. Again, this TWRP was made by the awesome TWRP Builder Team. This is TWRP 3.2.3.0 for the 6055U Cricket model but should work on all the other models as well. This time I'm not only releasing TWRP but I'm also releasing the source code for it in tar.gz and zip formats.

Clarification of 6055K compatibility

Hello PizzaG!
It's lovely to see development and updates for the Idol 4.
I have a 6055K device and I want to improve the software available for it.
Much like yourself, I find it quite difficult to find relevant documentation that can help me build system software for the phone.

Before that, I must gain root access and so I need a TWRP package for 6055K.
I checked the sources you uploaded and compared them to the ones by DeckerSU.
Unfortunately, I can't evaluate the significance of the differences nor the accuracy of your guess that "the 6055U Cricket model [...] should work on all the other models as well".
I'm not sure what the possible outcomes are if I try to flash a package meant for a 6055U on my 6055K.
It's not clear if it is still advisable to follow DeckerSU's instructions considering they are close to two years old.
I'd like to combine the sources you uploaded with the original ones made by DeckerSU specifically for the 6055K but I don't know how to do this merge.

I would very much appreciate any help with finding answers to some of these questions.
Thank you.

The partition setup is all the same, TWRP will work fine on any 6055 Model. As far as Roms go, the only difference is options and a few software Apps. 6055U rom will work fine on 6055K. If you have Dual-Sim, that will not work out of the box. I think I have an easy fix to get it working properly but I can't test because I have the Single-Sim model. I did mess with some settings and was able to enable Dual-Sim on my model but I lost Data connectivity. I'm confident it will work as it should on the 6055K though.

The 6055U has a different process to get TWRP on the phone and I was able to come up with a much easier way to do that. The 6055K you will still want to use the old DeckerSu process to get TWRP on your phone as it's still a valid way to do that.
