*/INTRODUCTION
TWRP or the TeamWin Recovery Project is an open-source software custom recovery image for Android-based devices. It provides a touchscreen-enabled interface that allows users to install third-party firmware and back up the current system, functions often unsupported by stock recovery images. But I think nobody needs an introduction 
BUILD INFO
This is an unofficial build compiled by me, using the OmniROM (9.0) TWRP sources.

How to flash?
1. Patch the phone's fastboot lock. You can patch lk.bin yourself, or use the binary and instructions in this post
2. Boot into fastboot, this is done by holding VOL- and POWER while the phone is off.
3. At the "serial does not match, verify ok" screen, plug the phone in and flash the recovery using fastboot.
4. This phone DOES NOT have any means to boot into recovery using hardware buttons (yet, i'll mess in the lk to see if i can enable it). Reboot into fastboot and boot into TWRP using
5. Enjoy!
6. Any major issues? Make a reply in this thread, I'll try to reply as soon as I can.

Sources?
I'm a big advocate of open-source software, but the source of this minimal device tree is messy right now. I'll clean it up as soon as I can and try to upload it after that. Sorry.
