[RECOVERY] TWRP 2.8.7.0 - TeamWin Recovery Project

TeamWin is proud to present TWRP v3.0.2.0 for the LG G Pad X 8.0 (V521, V522, V525)

Introduction:

Team Win Recovery Project or twrp for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It's 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.

Key Features:

Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll
XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout true theming!
Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots
Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore
Ability to choose to compress backups now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)
Onscreen keyboard
Decryption of /data
Easy selection of internal/external storage
See changelog below for new features

In addition to the above new features, TWRP features a scripting engine that allows an app to send commands to the recovery for the recovery to perform during startup. We call this scripting engine OpenRecoveryScript. This engine will be put to use immediately in the GooManager app. GooManager will be able to install recoveries automatically for most supported devices. The app will also let you choose to install multiple zips from within Android, wipe cache & dalvik, and run a backup.

We are looking for other talented developers, themers, and device maintainers if they are interested in helping with a free, open source project.

updated the link, same file name fixed internal storage mount and a few other minor issues

8/20/2016 - initial release

Youll need to use flashify to flash the image after rooting. this should work on all b3 models, aka lg v525, v521 etc

For the test version i had of 2.7.8.0 i had to do this, since i have already done it i cant confirm if you need to on 3.0.2.0 or not. ----- data/internal storage wont mount/work until you go to wipe> format data and format without encryption reboot recovery and then do a factory reset. this will wipe your ENTIRE device but allow you to use twrp normally.

Thanks a lot, i'll flash it soon. Any idea if xposed would work on this device?

I dont use or follow xposed development (my last 3 personal phones werent even rooted) i dont see any reason why it wouldnt we have twrp as well as stock kdz so you can mess things up pretty bad and still recover.

Xposed looks to work just fine. Thanks again

there is a donate to me button under my name and those instructions dont apply to this device. i specify how to use this in the second post.

 

[avishah395]

IF POSSIBLE, please add your thread to our device ET so we can get a full thread eventually - http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lg-g-padx

Also, update the version number in the title. I was able to get TWRP working, you do still need to wipe to clear the encryption (it says it does this in red). Then, you can continue using it normally.

i was on that page and clicked new thread, not sure why it didnt work or how exactly you are supposed to do it as that logically made the most sense to me.

i know you need to wipe to clear the encryption, but i wasnt sure if you needed to clear the encryption in order to use twrp properly as i had already done it on an older version. good catch on the version number

I'm not entirely sure about clearing encryption to use TWRP. I know when I did it, TWRP functioned normally.

Ill ask XDA about the ET, maybe it has a second page that isn't showing.

If it could be made as flashable .dz or .tot, that would be excellent.

as previously mentioned, only people who have leaked lg tools can make flashable tots etc. i spent hours researching it, testing out different methods and reflashing stock kdz a bunch of times.

the only way i could streamline this is if i submitted this to be made official so once rooted you could use twrp manager, but the submission process isnt exactly one that is a lot of fun to do. especially considering with flashify you only have to do like 3 clicks anyways.

Got something for you, shabbypenguin.
My intitial partitions-being-unmountable-due-to-unknown-error-150 likely because of faulty .tot file. the 1.4GB one works. of course after flashing 10c
Device still reports as LG V510 via MTP. Not a huge deal.

In TWRP file browser, internal storage is mounted as /emmc ?!
SD Card will not mount, log attached. Complete. /external_sd is not /dev/block/mmcblk0p1. It's /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 I manually mounted it there and it works.
Some errors about /sdcard as well. Probably cant mount /data/media/0 there. is my guess.
OTG does not mount properly as well, in recovery it shows up at /dev/block/sda1, recovery's fstab points at /usb-otg?

Was gonna put the output of mount/df from recovery and android but thought that wouldn't help.

thanks for the info, my sdcard is provisioned as internal storage so it doesnt show up as a micro sdcard in recovery, not sure how i got it so mixed up but ill push an updated version out later tonight

what do you mean it shows up as emmc?

When you're browsing for things to flash/etc, theres the path/directory /emmc, you enter it and it contains things that are supposed to be in /data/media/0

Confused About Install Instructions

8/20/2016 - initial release

I have flashed TWRP many times in the past on many devices. Yet for the 1st time after using Flashify, it obviously did not install properly as it didn't mount internal storage on this pad. It doesn't even recognize show that there's anything available in internal storage to back up to. Frankly, I don't understand your above instructions on how to property install it.

Typing clear instructions would be greatly appreciated as I can't use it. But do appreciate the time you put into it and will make a donation once this has been fixed.

you need to go to wipe > format data. your devices data is by default encrypted and twrp cant decrypt it. once youve wiped data, reboot recovery and then do a factory reset. your device will boot and function as normal and youll have a fully working twrp

ive uplaoded a version taht fixed that, but im unable to mount external_sd or usb otg. sda1 doesnt show up for me in /dev/block and even manually trying to mount sdcard to mccblk1p1 fails due to an invalid arguement, how did you mount yours?
