Only PhilZ Touch instead of Dual Recovery

Hi NUT, I really appreciate the dual recovery that you created. :good:

Is there any possibility to have a simpler version of this i.e. only with PhilZ Touch Recovery (CWM Advanced Edition) instead of a Dual Recovery please?

Thanks

Thanks for your reply, I will try that. However I suspect once I flash the flashable zip after flashing a new ROM (as NUT suggested), it will install TWRP as well! How do I modify the flashable zip then?
You can try to delete recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma from \system\bin\ inside recovery flashable.

Thanks, tried, but the while flashing it is failing. I suspect simple delete of file will not help as some scripts/commands are referencing to those files.

I wish i could get simple flash able zip or image file only with Philz Touch recovery :(

Is it possible to flash this recovery on CM recovery, without using a computer? I am currently travelling and can not get ahold of one.

I used to have the dual recovery, but CM recovery did unfortunately get installed when I installed pacman rom.

Seperate TWRP image

@[NUT]:

Since there aren't any (recent) TWRP builds any more for our device, I created an traditional IMG, by using your binaries from github. Is it OK to release them on xda? :)

You get full credits, of course.. THX

I have no issues with reusing my code or files, as I stated a long time ago: my work is not bound by any license and with that it is truly open source. I like to get credits for the code or files used, but I never demand that.

I just don't allow mirroring my project files, out of safety concerns, only then I can guarantee that the files are safe to use for anyone who downloads them :)

Hello! I have SGP-321 (Pollux) rooted with unlocked bootloader and stock 5.0.2 ROM. How can I install Dual Recovery or just enter the stock recovery mode? NUT's website says something about kernellbuilder which I don't fully understand.
Basically, what I need is to wipe the cache.

Thanks!

Thanks, you save me the hassle of setting up a complete Android build environment.. :)
Your TWRP is working better than the official build, anyway! That never supported brightness control. I just added F2FS, and recovery image flash support, and seems to work perfectly now.. :good:

Thanks for your excellent work!

You can wipe cache with some apps like TitaniumBackup or you can flash boot.img inside this rar via Flashtool and get stock kernel with Dual Recovery integrated.

so I got to install the recovery and was able to boot into CWM. I wiped the device (factory reset) and I made the mistake of turning it off before flashing a new ROM. any ideas on how to get back to the recovery? thanks! :)

Hello, I have just installed the latest version (2.8.23-RELEASE) on my SGP311; all went fine, but i am having problems installing custom roms.
I downloaded crdroid and cm12.1 for pollux_windy (my tablet is wifi-only), but both the install scripts fail "This package is for device: SGP311, SGP312,pollux_windy; this device is pollux."
In "Service Menu/Model Info" the device is showed correctly as a SGP311.
What can i do to resolve this? :confused:
Thanks

First of all, are you sure you unlocked your bootloader?
