[RECOVERY][OVATION][EMMC]Unofficial TWRP 2.7.1.0 - Nook HD, HD+ Android Development

With help from verygreen and succulent I managed to build TWRP 2.7.1.0 from the omnirom and cm11.0 sources. Here is a download link for a flashable zip (installs to emmc) :
2.7.1.0
Code:
http://rhysw.com/TWRP/OVATION-TWRP-20140729-recovery.zip
TWRP is a touch recovery with various well-known features. The author has a nice thread on it for the Nexus 7 here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779092
Please note that this version does not include F2FS support yet. I'm still working on that

Prerequisites: you must have another version of TWRP or CWM already installed on your ovation (Nook HD+) to flash this. If you are still on the stock B&N ROM then you need to get a micro-SD card and follow one of the other guides and experiment with installing CM on the Nook.
Why flash this ? Well, for now if you already have TWRP 2.6.3.0 or 2.7.1.0 from succulent's builds, this one isn't going to provide much more functionality. It does handle exFAT-formatted SD cards, but so does succulent's (that is no accident ) But every so often someone wants to know where to go to get TWRP for ovation on XDA, so here ya go I'm also going to provide some help in building this thing for yourself.

build instructions
There is a very nice thread about building TWRP on XDA here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32965365
I started with the CM11 source, which by default builds a CWM recovery for ovation. To build a TWRP recovery image and flashable zip I modified the device tree and used the bootable recovery from omnirom, as in the thread above. To use these, create a local manifest as follows :
Code:
<manifest>
<remote name="omni" fetch="https://github.com/omnirom" />
<remote name="rhy" fetch="https://github.com/roberthyang" />
<remove-project name="CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery"/>
<project path="bootable/recovery" name="android_bootable_recovery" remote="omni" revision="android-4.4"/>
<remove-project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_bn_ovation" />
<project path="device/bn/ovation" name="android_device_bn_ovation" remote="rhy" revision="cm-11.0-twrp"/>
</manifest>
Now refer to the thread above, which has details on what I'm describing next. Resync your CM11 repo to update your bootable/recovery and device/bn/ovation trees. Then run the envsetup.sh script. Lunch to select the ovation device, and finally make the recovery image.
In your $(OUT) folder you should see a zipfile which looks like "OVATION-TWRP-some date here-recovery.zip". That is your flashable zip.

Nice contribution! Although succulent has been progressively updating TWRP for ovation in his CM builds, as a rule he doesn't post his work here on XDA, so this is very useful.
Looking forward to hopefully seeing further progress on F2FS.
Thanks,
Mike T

Excellent! I don't have much interest in F2FS (yet...), but I'll be happy to get away from CWM as I find it takes an eternity to do a backup. I've always preferred TWRP anyways.
EDIT:
Well I just tried to flash and nothing seems to have changed (still booting to CWM). I took a peek inside the zip and noticed that recovery.img is not in the "root" of the zip, it is actually in OVATION-TWRP-20140725-recovery.zip/home/ryang/cm11/out/target/product/ovation/, and the update script only says to flash "recovery.img" (without the full path). Maybe I'm missing something?

Should be fixed now. Have your bootable SD card handy just in case though

Hi Thanks for your input were you able to produce F2FS working version I would love to have it

I figured out how to recompile TWRP with F2FS and experimented with Jon Lee's "yellow kernel". I had hoped to apply the f2fs patches for 3.0 kernels to our CM11 kernel, but have not yet allocated sufficient free time and motivation
In the meantime, I did package TWRP with F2FS and Jon's kernel -- see this post.
I think the yellow kernel is just for CM10.1, but with SELinux support I suspect it will work for recovery purposes just fine (it is a separate kernel from the one you boot your ROM from). I have not tried it though. Let us know how you get on with it :fingers-crossed:

Obviously the link was not difficult to figure out on your own
It just seems like putting a lot of effort into f2fs-enabled TWRP is kind of pointless without f2fs-enabled ROM's. And that requires an f2fs-enabled kernel. I'm using CM11, so I'd need to modify the CM11 kernel. It's all open source, so anyone with development skills and free time could do that work.
I have a full-time job already and a life, so the task will take a back seat to those priorities. Cheers and good luck

Okay to install?
Is this version of TWRP the best version to install for the HD+?
Thanks

Bootable TWRP for Ovation HD+ ?
HI, is there a bootable version of this, or do I need to stick with the bootable CWM? Sorry if this is a total noob question. I'm just deciding to root this baby and I'm familiar / happy with TWRP on my phone.

Stick with the bootable CWM SD card for now. You can flash the TWRP zip after you root your device and try out a ROM or two. Like it says in the instructions
Keep your bootable CWM around -- it may come in handy !

TWRP sources have been updated to 2.8.0.0, so I rebuilt TWRP for ovation. See this thread for changes :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779092
I get the impression 2.8.0.1 is a Nexus 7-specific version.

Thanks for the new build but 2.8.0.1 is not just N7 specific. I checked quite a few random officially supported builds on TWRP's site and they were all 2.8.0.1. In addition, it looks like the TWRP site has a typo error, where it repeats V2.8.0.0 twice for "what's new", instead of listing it as 2.8.0.1.
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2
I've found from past experience that "0.0." builds are frequently bugged and immediately followed by "0.1" builds a few days later.
Thanks again for the new build, looking forward to 2.8.0.1 or later when you get the time.

Ah, ok. I think then they haven't pushed the 2.8.0.1 source to the omnirom repo (still has the "2.8.0.0" version string). In any case, I'm still trying to get MTP to work ... open question on the 'compiling TWRP' thread.

2.8.0.0 is running well for me, thanks.

Is "Script succeeded. Result was [t]" a good thing or a bad thing?
I don't seem to be able to install TWRP on my HD+. There are no errors while installing, but it's impossible to boot into recovery afterwards, it just skips

I'm getting the impression 2.8.0.0 is not suitable for use (translation: it's a POS ) Dees Troy hasn't posted source for 2.8.0.1 yet. So I advise everyone to go back to 2.7.1.0 for now.

[RECOVERY][OFFICIAL] TWRP 3.0.0-0| 10/2/2016

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 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.
CHANGELOG for 3.0.0-0:
-Completely new theme - Much more modern and much nicer looking (by z31s1g)
-True Terminal Emulator - Includes arrow keys, tab and tab completion, etc. (by _that)
-Language translation - It won’t be perfect and especially some languages that require large font files like Chinese & Japanese won’t be availble on most devices. Also some languages may only be partially translated at this time. Feel free to submit more translations to OmniROM’s Gerrit. (mostly by Dees_Troy)
-Flashing of sparse images - On select devices you will be able to flash some parts of factory images via the TWRP GUI (by HashBang173)
-Adopted storage support for select devices - TWRP can now decrypt adopted storage partitions from Marshmallow
-Reworked graphics to bring us more up to date with AOSP - includes support for adf and drm graphics (by Dees_Troy)
-SuperSU prompt will no longer display if a Marshmallow ROM is installed
-Update exfat, exfat fuse, dosfstools (by mdmower)
-Update AOSP base to 6.0
-A huge laundry list of other minor fixes and tweaks
WARNING: This is our first release in a long time. We have a lot of new and somewhat aggressive changes in this new release. The changes to the graphics back-end may cause some devices to not boot up properly or have other display-related issues. If you are not in a position to reflash an older build of TWRP, then wait until you are or at least wait until others have tried the new version for your specific device. You don’t want to end up with a non-working recovery and have to wait several hours or days to get to a computer to be able to fix it.
Notes for themers: In addition to the udpated theme, we have introduced a theme version variable to the TWRP theme system. If the theme version does not match the version that TWRP expects, TWRP will reject the custom theme and load its stock theme. This change will ensure that people who update TWRP without updating their theme will still have a workable recovery. We have removed libjpeg support. The stock theme was only using a jpeg image for the splash / curtain. This change means that any custom themes will no longer be able to use jpeg images. It also means that tools used to repack recovery images with a different curtain / splash will need to be updated to use the new method.
Version number notes: For a while we’ve been using a 4 digit version number and reserved the 4th digit for device-specific updates. For instance, we find and fix a device-specific issue like decryption of data on Nexus 5, we would release that as a 2.8.7.1. After a while, some people would start asking where 2.8.7.1 was for other devices. So, going forward we have decided to change the numbering scheme to 3.0.0-2, etc. Our hope is that this version numbering scheme will more clearly identify that the 4th digit does not indicate a version change for the code base.
We need your help! The bulk of TWRP work is done by 3 people on a volunteer basis. We have pushed most of our device files to our github and we have a gerrit instance. If you have the ability, please help us maintain our official devices and/or add your device to our official device list. Thanks in advance!
CHANGELOG for 2.8.7.0:
-Initial ground work for software drawn keyboard (_that)
-Fix handling of wiping internal storage on datamedia devices (xuefer)
-Allow DataManager to set and read values from the system properties (xuefer)
-Fix crash when taking screenshots on arm64 devices (xuefer)
-Fix error message after an ORS script completes (Dees_Troy)
-Fix crashes / error when creating encrypted backups (_that, Dees_Troy)
-Add system read only option – more details below (Dees_Troy)
-Add resize2fs and GUI option to run resize2fs (Dees_Troy)
-Fix crash loop caused by empty lines in AOSP recovery command file (_that)
-Prevent duplicate page overlays such as multiple lock screens (mdmower)
Note: As always, be sure your custom theme is up to date (or remove your custom theme) before updating TWRP.
System read only option: Devices that ship with 5.0 and higher as their initial OS are using block level OTA updates. With this style of OTA update, the update script checks to see if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. Further, the script also usually runs an SHA sum of the entire system partition to detect if any changes have been made. If any changes have been made, the OTA update will refuse to install. Since not all OEMs and devices have factory images available, we have created a new feature in TWRP that detects if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. If not, you will be prompted asking if you want TWRP to mount system as read/write. If you choose not to allow TWRP to mount as read/write, TWRP won’t prompt to install SuperSU and TWRP won’t try to patch the stock ROM to prevent TWRP from being replaced by stock recovery. The goal of this option is to hopefully allow the user to make a raw system image backup that they can use to get back to a state where they can take OTA updates again.
resize2fs feature: On some devices like the Nexus 6, the factory images include a userdata image that is the proper size only for the 32GB units. If you flash the factory image to a 64GB Nexus 6, the data partition will appear as if it only has the free space of a 32GB device. Using the resize2fs option, TWRP can resize your data partition to take up the full space available. The resize2fs may also be useful to resize system partitions on devices where custom ROM system images don’t take up the full partition space. Lastly, resize2fs may be useful in some cases to reserve the proper space at the end of a data partition for a full disk encryption key, should your partition be formatted incorrectly for some reason.
This new version also marks our first set of full builds using our new jenkins build server. You can track the progress of builds at https://jenkins.twrp.me and we have taken additional steps to make it easier for device maintainers to step up and submit patches to our gerrit server at https://gerrit.twrp.me to help us keep devices up to date and working.
DOWNLOAD:
You can find more information and download links on our NEW website! NOTE that the 2.8.6.0 version is ONLY available on our new site and is not available on our other, older mirrors!
BUGS:
If you have found a bug, please consider posting it to our github issues log. It's pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 40 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, your best bet is to PM Dees_Troy directly, contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below. If you see someone that's struggling, feel free to point it out to us. We need your help to help us keep track of all of our devices! Thanks!

Due to the way Sony devices function, you will need to have an unlocked bootloader.
Your options, as far as ROMs go, are the following:
Any ROM with this commit
OR just use the new bootloader (with a proper recovery partition)
All credit goes to the TWRP team. I just annoyed the fools until they built the recovery.
Awesome! Very glad to see this.
After flashing through fastboot, its impossible for me to boot into recovery, my phone stays stuck on the Sony screen with the pink/orange led.

Works fine here. Did you check the md5 before installing? Does it work without the theme?

You need a custom boot image to boot into it (since our bootloaders don't really support a separate recovery partition, and we rely on a boot.img script to boot into one), which means you'd have to unlock the bootloader.

On this note, if anyone can provide me with stock boot images, I'll try and keep them up-to-date with the extract_elf_ramdisk utility, so that users on stock may still boot into TWRP if they don't opt for the AndroPlus kernel.
Hello everyone,
Flashed this with "fastboot flash recovery", still getting the cm12.1 recovery.
BL unlocked, USB debugging enabled, CM 12.1 installed.
Anyone have a solution?
Thanks
Edit:
tried the twrp manager, no Z3C here, aswell the dd method, nothing changed.

Same here, there is no Z3C in the list on TWRP Manager, and the 'dd' method leaves an unusable recovery (stuck on orange led). I'm happy with official TWRP support, but do you guys even test your stuff before releasing it.....? The steps with TWRP manager app don't even exist (there is no 'advanced' to tap).
Flashed twrp.img as boot: fastboot flash boot twrp.img. -> TWRP starts every time i power on the phone. Flashed CM12.1 from this state, and TWRP got overwrited again with CM12.1 recovery. /sigh
Is the CM kernel counts as "Any custom kernel" ?

Thanks both of you for reporting your issues. Your reports sparked an investigation, and we were able to identify several issues that have thus far been overlooked (for whatever reason).
The "stuff" was tested before it was released, yes, but we're now facing limitations in the form of unmerged patches to the CM device trees. The issues should have been resolved several years ago, but instead they are now wreaking havoc on Sony msm8974 recovery setups. I've gotten some of the elite TWRP and CM people on this, as well as smaller fellow rhine and shinano developers (though Myself5 and oshomun could hardly be classified as small nowadays).
I personally have already uploaded four changes to the CM gerrit (that should have been applied years ago); One of them got denied (though is now being discussed for the near future (possibly as soon as cm-13.0); the result of that discussion is, among others, that the Cyanogen Recovery is now available for download alongside the ROM zip over at https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=z3c ), two are still pending any input whatsoever, and the last one was promised a merge, but the device maintainers have gone quiet, at least on the outside.
(If you wish, you can view the patches and their progress at their links: patch1, patch2, patch3, patch4, patch5.)
However, both teams are also having issues with other matters (such as Z3 not building, or adding new features to TWRP), and there is also the fact that school starts around this time of year (which impacts both the younger developers as well as those who already have children).
To conclude, there really isn't a unified guide I can give you to get to TWRP. It works, and you can use it if you have the correct setup. However achieving that setup is not a simple walkthrough away, and it would differ ever so slightly for every person's preferences, not to mention it would be overwritten with each new ROM update.
Such is the state of affairs at this point in time. This may or may not change, but be assured that everything we can do about this, we will do.
EDIT: A quick note that some ROMs may already include fixes for these issues. I don't know which those ROMs could be, so I won't go into listing them, but the possibility exists.
someone755,
thanks for your quick reply and your investigation.
Hope for the best, but time will tell.
Thanks again

The thing is that if you flash a cm-12.1 boot image (completely stock, without kernel or ramdisk modifications that M5 or Kernel12 perform), it won't work. It works with some setups, but not with others, and is, for some reason, very specific -- to get rid of these errors, CyanogenMod would have to (at the very least) accept my changes.
If you feel like you have to try this for yourself, here's a link to the boot image: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347797955 Getting out of the mess created once you flash this can be a pickle though, so unless you have a boot image on hand with which you know TWRP works, do not flash the file I linked.
I've had somebody say it started working for him after flashing r_02 of Kernel12, though sadly I'm not very sure that's a permanent solution (it is, however, a working temporary one).
Unfortunately the man who was supposed to review the changes is on leave from development, so waiting is the only option available right now (unless we come up with a zip file to flash after each nightly install, but that would only increase the chaos of this already-confusing situation).

The goal of FOTA recoveries was to let the user boot into a recovery regardless of what recovery is in the boot image. If you flash a CM nightly over your setup, you won't be able to get to TWRP again unless you perform various modifications to the CM boot image.
Packing recovery inside boot is what's causing all these issues in the first place, so doing what you suggest would be a step forward, but two steps back as well.

That's all fine and dandy until you realize most people are sticking with CM (for some unexplainable reason). Other ROM gerrits are much more likely to have already merged the needed changes (and are much more lenient and open when it comes to accepting new changes in general, and all this is the only reason this waiting game is now on).

Yeah but I don't wait on slim or use its device trees etc I build for my own and use commits I want, I don't really care what people use or do. I build ROMs for myself and a friend.

You do realize TWRP is meant to work for everyone, not just for 'me and my bros'?
On topic:
Someone, that FOTA TWRP I linked does (or at the very least did, I've been on M5 Kernel for a few weeks now) work with a stock Cyanogenmod boot image. Before M5 kernel I could already reach TWRP. I really think it worth a closer look to see what that guy did because it works/worked for some reason..
My full sequence (the first time anyway):
Unlock Bootloader
Unpack boot.img from Cyanogenmod nightly zip
Flash boot.img in fastboot
Boot to Cyanogenrecovery
Wipe
Flash Cyanogenmod in recovery
Boot Cyanogenmod, Setup Wizard yadda yadda
Shut down and go to fastboot
Flash FOTA TWRP from said link
Test FOTA TWRP, Be happy
----Few days later----
Flash M5 through FOTA TWRP

These are UNOFFICIAL CM13.0 Marshmellow Nightlies brought to you by Open Desire Project and TeamCodefire as a continuum to CM 11.0, CM 12.0 and CM 12.1 builds. Builds are generated automatically on Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun. Process starts around 00:30 PST/PDT. If it fails, then there will be no build until the reason for failure is taken care of which can take time. Last 7 nightlies will be kept on the server. If you want a longer history of them, you are free to archive them yourself.

FAQ:
Q: I tried to flash the ROM and got this:
Code:
Installing update...
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/..path od ROM.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Or I'm having other recovery issues.
A: Download and install the latest recovery here.
Q: I've used HTC Dev unlock and flashed the rom but it won't boot. What should I do?
A: You need to extract boot.img from the zip and flash it via fastboot. If you don't have fastboot executable anymore from flashing recovery, install Android SDK platform tools (Linux users should find it from distro's package management) and then reboot to bootloader, open command prompt and navigate to the location you extracted your boot.img and type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You need to repeat this everytime you flash new version of this rom to ensure everything will work fluently as long as you have just basic HTC Dev unlock.
Q: Where are my developer and performance options?
A: http://goo.gl/jpS8r
Q: Feature X doesn't work, let's make 1000 posts about it to annoy everyone.
A: Please, dont. Use search and then use search again and only then report your problem with necessary logs. [Logcat guide, thanks to MusikMonk for the link]
Q: Hey, my old phone is running the latest Android version, i want to thank someone!
A: Press thanks button here
Q: I hate you for not fixing this issue X!!!
A: I love you too.
Q: How I can build CM13.0 myself?
A: Setup a basic Android build environment.
Code:
mkdir cm13.0
cd cm13.0/
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-13.0
mkdir -p .repo/local_manifests
wget https://github.com/OpenDesireProject/android/raw/cm-13.0/local_manifest.xml -O .repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml
repo sync
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch cm_saga-userdebug
mka bacon
Once the build finishes you'll find your goods from out/target/product/saga/ directory.
Q: My problem is not listed here.
A: Ask the guy/gal next to you.

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 13.0 Nightlies OpenDesireProject, ROM for the HTC Desire S
Contributors
kylon, Mustaavalkosta, paulb_nl, PhantomShadow
Source Code: https://github.com/OpenDesireProject
ROM OS Version: 6.0.x Marshmallow
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.0.x
ROM Firmware Required: Twrp 2.8.7.0
Based On: CyanogenMod
Version Information
Status: Testing
Created 2015-12-04
Last Updated 2017-01-04
Bugs (Device specific):
Glitches here and there
Headset Mic in call
SAGAOPT SETUP INSTRUCTIONS (see also Mustaavalkosta dhd post)
Disclaimer: You will lose everything on your sdcard if you follow these instructions so take appropriate steps to secure your data before continuing. Also this will be a "clean flash" from the start due to different partition layout.
Prerequisites:
TWRP for sagaopt by @jrior001
saga cm13 zip
Gapps and addons if you want them. IIRC, there was around 400-500MB space left on new /system partition after flashing base gapps package so there's a bit more room for addons.
If you have already partitioned your sdcard you may want to repartition it to have only single partition because you won't benefit from having separate sd-ext partition with this variant build. I won't write anything about this as I expect you can reverse what you have done yourself.
Installation instructions:
Flash TWRP in fastboot or your current TWRP (Install > Images > etc.)
Reboot to recovery even if you are already in TWRP. You need to reboot to be in newly flashed sagaopt TWRP.
Wipe cache and system under Advanced wipe.
Convert your sdcard to either EXT4 or F2FS under Advanced wipe by choosing data partition > Repair or Change File System > Change File System > EXT4 or F2FS.
(Optional) If you had your old /data partition formatted as F2FS you also need to convert it to EXT4 meaning converting system partition in the sagaopt recovery.
At this point your sdcard is completely empty so you will need to move the ROM zip and any additional zips into sdcard or use adb sideload.
Install cm-13-XXXXXXXX-UNOFFICIAL-sagaopt.zip and gapps.
Reboot

Thank you very much Kylon for putting up the thread for CM-13. I have already tried 20151203 and 20151204 nightlies with no CM Account and facing problem on flashing either Open GApps or Delta GApps for MM, it is showing Setting Wizard has stop mainly and some time Google play service has stop and System does not response all the time making setting up impossible. Anyway no problem on ROM flashing. Thanks.
It s a known problem on cm13.
You have to delete setup wizard

Hi Kylon,
I am wondering if the keyboard and google play service stop could be solved on CM-13 sagaopt. Thank you very much.
yea, the official cm-13 is still in testing, every fc will be fixed when cm is more stable
f2fs test

It caused boot loop at the HTC logo. Thanks for your kind contribution. I have noticed that system partition is always formatted to ext4 no matter how you have changed to f2fs and finally it will be formatted back to ext4. Thanks.

Mmh, can you try with a clean install?
Maybe something went wrong on your phone.
Thats ok, this will not turn saga in a quad-core phone but it should be a better f2fs version, maybe faster and more stable

I made a clean install, factory reset and all wiped except internal memory and SD-Ext and also change file system to f2fs. It did not boot up with black screen. So, if you and Lapyyy have no problem with the kernel, it should be my device problem or set up. However, I have tried with every nighlies and Open Gapps and Delta Gapps and have faced the same problems. Now I shall try with difference SDcard with different format. Thanks for your kind contribution.
I don t have a saga xD
Cannot test.
You should be able to take a log with android monitor and a boot.img with secure=0

Thanks for your prompt reply. We will see how the problem could be solved. Now I reformatted the Data partition to EXT4 and all the stuff was gone. I have to copy all necessary files to the SDcard again and will try your kernel. By the way replaceing AnySolfKeyboard by F-Droid eliminated FC on keyboard issue and making Google Account setup possible. Thanks.
Amazingly mature
I'm running 2015-12-06 since yesterday evening, and I'm amazed how mature it already is. It seems quick stable and "slick."
One thing I've noticed is that the camera API doesn't seem to be implemented/functioning yet. This is probably the reason why no camera app is included, right?
As hinted by @kchaisu (thanks!) I've installed an alternative keyboard app (Google's kbd), and now it's running really well.
The old Facebook problem (that often the device reboots when installing the app) can still be observed, but maybe it's just that our Saga has too little RAM.
Thanks, @kylon and @Mustaavalkosta, and all others who contribute to this, for breathing new life into our little Sagas...

Well, nothing is removed per se but system hides the camera icon etc. if it can't find appropriate camera hardware which it currently can't find because camera libs won't load due to missing symbols.

Actually, I got the idea from HD CM-13 forum which was post by @marek287. Thanks to him.
Thanks to Mustaavalkosta and Kylon for the CM-13-20151211-sagaopt nightly. This bulid is fast booting up for GApps. However, SetupWizard and AOSP Keyboard still remains FC. Thank you very much.

I mentioned it in the factory image thread 5 days ago
Mods, can we pin this in the dev section since it contains the links to the needed source code for development purposes. Seems appropriate to have it pinned in this thread. thanks.
I've also got the kernel source going with CAF history included (based on LA.UM.5.7.r1) at https://github.com/jcadduono/android_kernel_razer_msm8998/tree/android-7.1
Fixed a minor bug and added some build scripts to simplify the process of configuring and building.
Added qcacld-3.0 sources into the kernel build for WiFi drivers but I appear to be missing something so it doesn't build. :/
I'm sure someone here can figure that out!
For TWRP support, essentially you'll need to build the stock kernel with additional options like f2fs and exFAT if desired. The OS and TWRP will be sharing the same kernel binaries due to the A/B setup so you *will* need to build the WiFi driver, even for recovery.
If someone is daring enough, they can simply build TWRP normally (ex. for a non-A/B device), flash it to boot_b or boot_a partition (depending what's active), boot up TWRP, and make backups of the opposite A/B partitions.
This can't actually be too hard to do, Dees_Troy has already done most of the work by supporting A/B on Pixel devices already.
I suppose I'm willing to give it a try if anyone is willing to possibly lose the ability to get into the OS until Razer releases factory images.
The chance of that happening is pretty slim, as long as we're only flashing the *active* boot partition (we'll check that in OS using mount command), we should be able to simply grab a copy of the opposite boot partition and restore it to how it was.
YOU CAN simply use fastboot to swap to the other boot partition, restoring your OS to bootable even if TWRP fails to work. (we will test this first to make sure Razer has enabled this option...)
Probably safe, but there's just that risk.
As I'm unsure exactly how to compile the WiFi drivers right now, I'll do this:
Create a normal TWRP image, which you can flash to your *active* boot partition.
Create a TWRP flashable zip that will take the ramdisk from the active boot partition and flash it to the inactive boot partition's boot image, then flash the inactive boot partition's image to your active boot partition.
Result: Both partitions contain the original stock kernel image with TWRP support and a fully working OS.
Slight issue: F2FS won't be supported because the stock kernel will have module signing enabled and TWRP won't be able to load it.
I'm also fairly certain I'll never get decryption working myself for this device...it looks like the vendor partition may be required and it is already encrypted itself? (not encrypted on the Pixel 2 so this is new)
Dees_Troy will be getting his Razer Phone next week. If anyone can get TWRP working it's him. No need to worry ?

I'm willing to temporarily sacarfic my device for this. I will message you tomorrow morning and we can give it a shot.
We have lift off! @jcadduono you were right :highfive:
Waiting on you for further instructions on how to proceed.
Even if this leads to no where it sure feels damn good to see the twrp logo.
Everything is going well, we're getting copies of each partition and I'm working on making factory restorable images right now.
I am fairly certain I can even support encryption on this device with no issues.
The device itself actually supports hardware Qualcomm full-disk encryption like most non-Google Qualcomm devices so it's nothing new!
However, the Razer Phone supports HW encrypted SDcards like LG does, so TWRP needs support in the actual crypto code used in the project to work with encryptable sdcards. Maybe Dees_Troy will be up to that task when he gets his phone.
TWRP images will be distributed like so:
- A twrp.img file that you flash to your active boot partition
- A zip file that copies the TWRP ramdisk from your active boot partition into your inactive boot partition, then copies your inactive boot partition to your active boot partition
The zip file will effectively install TWRP and the next time you boot TWRP it will be relying on your ROM's kernel instead of the TWRP kernel.

Don't ask these questions. Seriously:
Features: none. It's a recovery. It should be as simple as possible because you rely on this stuff to recover your device in case something goes wrong
Seriously. Were you expecting features from a custom recovery?
Screenshots: it looks like TWRP
Important. There is a blank option and a system_root option in the mounts section. These are only for compatibility with scripts. Do not try to tick them yourself
Some scripts may throw a "failed to umount /system_root" message. This is fine
Important: why do some ROMs refuse to flash?
Some ROMs like oxygenos and glassrom use a feature called "downgrade attack prevention". If TWRP's build date is higher than the build date of the ROM the installation script assumes a downgrade attack is happening and the flashing fails
System nandroid restore fails:
You are not supposed to be restoring file-based backups of the system partition on a device with dm-verity in the first place. Backup and restore system image backups.
Glassrom users: if this is your first time flashing glassrom remember that the current enhanced twrp will always have a build date higher than the current glassrom build. In other words you can only flash a newer glassrom build as long as your enhanced twrp build is older or in other words:
Switching to glassrom: use official twrp, flash glassrom and then flash enhanced TWRP to enforce downgrade attack prevention
Updating glassrom: no need to switch to official. Always update glassrom before you update enhanced twrp
This was intentionally done to prevent downgrade attacks on glassrom. Using enhanced twrp with glassrom is recommended
This TWRP addresses a number of issues that have been plaguing the op3:
Uses a backported F2FS driver (5.1-rc1-3.18) that fixes an issue where TWRP would get stuck on the TWRP splash screen for a long time if the user was using F2FS
Uses an upstream kernel that was taken from lineage's common kernel https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_qcom_msm8996
Added all crypto footer code back to resolve all encryption issues
Improved detection of device variant. Recovery now validly detects op3 and op3t
A full selinux policy so that files do not get labelled incorrectly. This resolves a bunch of issues like "device doesn't boot after restoring nandroid"
Built against full lineage source. No minimal manifest or any other nonsense
Upstreamed sdfat driver for better suppport for USB-OTG drives
No prebuilt kernels. Uses a fully source built kernel
Kernel built with a compatible GCC 8. No weird compiler optimisation
Ext4 is the default filesystem instead of f2fs
Current issues: even if the source code is out building TWRP against lineage is not something a beginner can do. If somebody is willing to contribute build documentation they are more than welcome

Busybox was removed. I've updated my flashable zips to use run_program("/sbin/mount", "/system"); instead.
Replacing 'busybox' with 'toybox' should work too.

Busybox is pretty terrible and most of it's executables aren't even compliant to standards
Please update your scripts to use toybox or ship the actual statically linked binaries

You should specify the "-o rw,remount" flag otherwise if mount system partition read-only is ticked there's a high chance system is mounted read-only and the script won't actually touch the system partition. This can be achieved by using a shell script instead of run_program()
Your command can also fail with "cannot find /system in the fstab". Instead of calling mount that way you should use this edify command and then call mount with run_program() to make sure it doesn't fail
Code:
mount(fs_type, partition_type, name, mount_point)
Please see https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/nonab/inside_packages
Toybox uses a slightly different mount command so merely replacing all instances of busybox with toybox will not work

IMHO bb is much more sophisticated then tb. If compiled with long options enabled bb is more posix compliant then any other multicall binary I know of.
The original decission to replace bb by tb by google was made because of license politics (bb: gnu copy left; tb: apache) - technically bb is superior to tb, for the amount of implememted commands as well as the posix compliance of the implemented commands (if configured correctly). I.e. parts of dns and resolver libs in tb are broken from the beginning of tb used in android (though this doesn't matter in recovery only use). fgrep/egrep are another broken/non-posix-compliant topic, which is solved by adding standalone binaries.
The claim you've made is at least questionable, and since you are publishing your sources (aka complying to gpl), the main reason for not using bb is not true for your twrp builds.
You may consider to put in bb additionally. For los integration, I've made a bb setup not overriding any tb links and installing bb as well as it's links to /system/xbin. With nearly no effort the installation target could be changed to i.e. /xbin or /bb/bin. If the installation dir is added in the path after the path to tb, you'll ship a recovery not only compatible with latest pie sources, but also with backward compatibility for flashable zips relying on bb.

Thanks. I guess I was wrong about busybox
I'm still not considering shipping busybox. Whenever I've tried it something broke so I'll just be sticking with toybox on that part
What I might be able to do is make a zip that copies busybox to /sbin/busybox and since it's just copying in ram there shouldn't be much of a problem. Users can flash this zip as a way to have backward compatibility with older zips. That sounds like a much better option honestly as then the fix is not just tied to my recovery but can be used on every recovery that doesn't have busybox on the op3
Edit: I also do not think shipping your busybox is a very good idea. You're compiling busybox with this
-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration -Wno-implicit-function-declaration

I don't even know why this is a compiler warning. This should be an error but if you're shipping busybox with that warning disabled instead of fixing it that's just asking for trouble

...and on every second page of this thread, you'll be asked, if flashing bb is necessary on each update. Then you'll need to answer every time: "no, you need to flash it prior to each flashing of a bb needing zip."
If you just say bb is droped upstream and you want to keep your twrp clean.
Anyway: I've fixed the static build target.

I haven't really checked the code but I'm not that sure about this part
Shouldn't it be like
Code:
#ifndef _GNU_SOURCE
#define _GNU_SOURCE
Idk just sounds more correct that we don't want a redefinition here
Is there any need for a manual mount of 'fakecache' like in Enhanced TWRP of OP2 ?
I hope not...
Thanks for the development !

The entire fakecache experiment was me trying to port treble to the op2
That obviously failed and I'm in the process of removing that hack even from the op2
It's not there on this TWRP. That's for sure
F2FS 5.2-rc1-3.18 is out

Glassrom is out but I've sadly not received any feedback from the twrp testers yet
The new release might be delayed and I'm also busy working on op2
It will definitely come in 1-2 days
Glad you made this twrp @anupritaisno1.
Working great here and happy to see all issues I had with other versions (some warnings on terminal, time issues etc...) are gone!
Keep up the good work
@anupritaisno1
Any chance your TWRP is not compatible with PIE ? ( i.e either that PIE is not supported or PIE is NOT the highest SDK supported )
I ask since many users across OP3 & 3T forum complained about "BSoDwWL" (Black Screen of Death with White Led ) issue that appear randomly ( not during recovery, but in android ) and freeze the device for ~15sec which ends in systemUI reboot.
I'm not sure, but around the week I updated myy recovery to your TWRP, I started to suffer for that issue - which is partially in accordance with this report - i.e that SOME TWRP is responsible
please don't get me wrong... as it might be TWRP original code fault - not something directly related to your own wonderful work here.
I wonder if you encountered this issue as well ?
Does TWRP 3.3.x is already Q compatible ? what's the LAST twrp version that its higher SDK support is PIE (3.2.x / 3.1.x ) ?

Please get me a copy of /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops-0 on the next boot after the crash

Hi I checked this myself
There seems to be absolutely no difference between drivers from 5.0.8 and 9.0.2
It feels as if oneplus simply took the drivers from 5.0.8 and smashed them onto 9.0.2 so I have no idea what crashes you're observing. Please submit logs

Will this work on the latest phone update? Still on 8.1, but as soon as it hit WiFi it updated to 8MA6UA60. Phone is cheap enough now to maybe break trying.. lol. And these GSI images currently work or is this trial and error? I was shocked by this phones performance on stock for it's price.. I just want to see it's full potential.
Edit: have not gotten this to be able to flash and stick. However you need the fastboot fix on the twrp forum (p23) to even attempt it on ua60.
You'll have to edit the command in the readme to match the updated kernel file as it got updated, but the script rundown did not.
