[Permanent TWRP recovery 2.7.0.1] for Mate

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.EVERYTHING WRITTEN IN THIS DOCUMENT WAS TESTED ON MY PHONE.​
- Development finished.
After successfully unlocked the bootloader of my mate , started to compile TWRP for our device.Thanks to Teamwin for this great touch recovery.
This version is a permanent recovery , it replaces the stock recovery (3e) . You have to restore the stock recovery if you want to install update.app format stock rom .
You do not need root to install , but unlocked bootloader is a must. You can read how to unlock your Mate's bootloader here:Bootloader Unlock.
There is two way to install permanent TWRP.
1. From existing permanent twrp recovery , if you selected this method of unlocking the bootloader.
Download the zip file and copy it to the sdcard. Restart the phone in recovery mode. (power + volume up). TWRP comes up. Select install and choose the storage where you copied the zip file. Select the file and swipe to install.
TWRP 2.7.0.1 twrp flashable version
2. From bootloader mode using fastboot flash recovery twrp2_7_0_1.img command.
TWRP 2.7.0.1 fastboot flashable package
TWRP 2.7.0.1 fastboot flashable package mirror
It will not backup/restore the contents of internal sd . Formatting data will delete the contents of internal_sd. Wiping data will not delete the contents of internal_sd.

Custom kernel :
I compiled a kernel for B221 rom .Nothing really serious , just some config changes and added sio , sioplus , zen I/O scheduler from surdu_petru's P6 kernel source.
Download the zip , copy it your sdcard and install it from Twrp recovery.
Download B221 custom kernel

This is a great achievement
Congratulations

This recovery could be compatible to test HAM 4.4 ROM?
I guess not?

Because it is a permanent twrp recovery , you can try any recovery flashable rom on your device. If it does not boot , the recovery still available.
The only problem can be if the installer zip contains in its updater-script an assert command to check the device type.
e.g.:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "hwp6_u06" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "hwp6_u06");
simply remove that line from updater script.
You can ask the developer of the rom to put the following line to boardconfig.mk if it is compatible with both device (P6 , MT1)
TARGET_OTA_ASSERT_DEVICE := hwmt1-u06 hwp6-u06

TWRP updated , see first post.

Also we already passed to TWRP 2.7.0.0.
Good luck !

I have changed my Mate to a LG G-Flex , so I have finished development on Mate. All my sources will be left on github if anyone wants to develop.
Thank you guys all the support and I wish the best .

That's sad but it's comprehensible. Good luck and thanks for everything!!!!

Help?
Anyway to get an Ascend Mate MT1-U06 Back to original Stock ROM? I bought 15 of them and only 1 is having issues right out of the box. This phone looks as though it has been flashed with something other than Huawei Original Firmware. When starting the phone, the Huawei logo comes up, but then after, opposed to going to a Huawei Splash screen with the jingle, it goes to the pulsing all lower case colored "android" splash/boot image. The wallpaper looks like something from a custom CM ROM, and none of the themes can change it. The app icons wont move either, if I try to move one I get "Unfortunately, Huawei home has stopped". We can not take screen shots as the phone will not allow it, I will have to take pics with another device.... I tried to flash Original Huawei 4.1.1 ROM as well as the official 4.2.2 ROM. I have Wiped the Phone with TWRP (System, Date, Cache, EVERYTHING), then flashed the stock recovery back and flashed Huawei Original firmware again (several Times), but whatever is on this phone hanging on like an old girlfriend. Any help?

@joe.stone, is your device configuration folder that you used to build TWRP posted on github by any chance? Would like to review it. I have made one up for the HAM2 and built TWRP for testing. Currently undergoing an issue with the bootloader though. Using fastboot or key combination won't access the recovery if it is custom, but with stock it works. I figure one of two things with this problem: either the bootloader does a security check on the recovery and aborts if it isn't stock or the build just simply doesn't boot. So, to ease things up a bit on narrowing down this problem I am hoping to take a look at your source if it's available.

My modified twrp(needed because /data/share is the internal sd) and its config is included in my cm10.1 repo. (bootable/recovery) and my boardconfig contains the settings needed for twrp. About your issue :
You need to unlock your bootloader. The mate also has the security check enabled , but with unlocked bootloader it does nothing. You need to figure out how to open your bootloader.

Thanks, and yea, the bootloader was recently able to be unlocked. So, I must say its safe to assume the TWRP build failed. I'm doing it blind since I don't own the device. However, one of the guys was kind enough to send me a used one so when I get it I will be able to resolve the problem rather quickly. Thanks.

Personal Notes
I flashed over CM11.
There were lotsa force closes since I did dirty flash and didn't flash gapps.
So, do flash gapps and follow instructions carefully.
The CM11 boot.img was also working with Slim, so CM11 kernels should work fine

@omarainea for building the perfect SlimKAT for Z1c. Great work

How is this as a daily driver?
Any bugs?
I have been a big fan of Slim for years on my old SGS2, so pleased to see a port of it here for the Z1c.
So far I have stuck to locked bootloader, but it would be worth moving if you get this working properly.
Good luck with this project.

In my initial tests I only faced the mentioned bugs, been running smooth since then on ART.
Will do more intensive testing tonight and see if can find and kill more bugs
I would say the build looks pretty good.

Thanks for your work the ROM is smooth and cool,
I flashed its kernel through flashtool, and installed the ROM after a full wipe,
everything seems to be working just fine, the only thing I noticed is that screen orientation isn't working,
I think it is related to the compass sensor bug mentioned in OP.
and here are some screenshots: (dpi by default like that)

Thanks a big.
Edit: @yuweng , bro recovery isn't showing external sdcard to flash zips . there is only one single option that is to flash internal memory which showing that as sdcard and can't backup to external sdcard too , only to backup into internal memory.
A bit lagging but except the above I found no other bugs

If you don't use adopted storage download the recovery-ctr-65-kiwi-nas.img and you will see the external sdcard too. For adopted storage I don't have yet a solution and therefore only the internal memory and usb-otg is supported (recovery-ctr-65-kiwi.img - this is for adopted storage).
I rebuilt the recovery and should be no more lag, or at least should be better than before, and for my friend yuweng I hide the text from screen when using aroma (the progress icons and virtual keys are still there because I can't hide those without breacking the UI).

after so many years i saw a new recovery apart from TWRP. Thank you for this wonderful piece of code....

Great work on bringing this recovery to our device! More choice is always better. Still hoping for a better solution for adopted storage. It seems I have to do a full wipe and lose internal and external every time I want to use a different ROM.

No it won't touch your external SD . a full format is data+data/media/0/ ..
Your SD card has a different mount point and u don't need to worry about it . untill u had an option it won't go through it .

@carliv I first saw your work on the Lenovo Tab 2. It was a god send and the only thing available when i got the Tablet.
Thanks for this release

This is not in a competition with twrp. I created this recovery as an alternative for those that liked cwm and wanted to use it post kitkat. Also, this one works even without touch and that could be in handy for those devices without touch in recovery (twrp can't be used without touch).

You have to give more details. What did you do in recovery before the issue? Did you tried to wipe cache and reboot the recovery then reboot to android or reboot to bootloader and reboot to android with fastboot command [fastboot reboot], and so on...
I don't have this phone but maybe some of the people that have it will help you. Just learn to report a problem and don't be laconic.

@carliv could you please tell me that if I'm rooting my Honor 5X for the first time, could I use your recovery instead of TWRP, or I would have to have to flash it sometime later?
And I cannot see a download link in the OP. Help me!

[SOLVED] TWRP doesn’t let browse /sdcard files

I am having a problem it happened after I finally got to flash latest CosmicOS and set up a new password on my OP3. So, here’s what basically happened;
Once I got it up and running I noticed that home button and fingerprint sensor was completely disabled, then I tried to set up a new password (completely same password I used to decrypt my storage in TWRP 3.0.2-0) and fingerprint just in case but it didn’t react to me calibrating the fingerprint so I was like, ”alright, gladly I got a backup in TWRP”.
Once I rebooted to recovery it asked for a password as usually, once I typed that exact same password as before it just said wrong password, I tried it twice in case if I made a typo but still invalid password. And then I was panicing and pressed cancel and just rebooted back to OS.
I then removed all passwords there and booted back to recovery again, TWRP doesn’t ask for a password anymore but there’s a slider which says allow modifications or something similar and also there’s read only mode. When I slided the modification thing it just doesn’t show any of my files in sdcard folder when I go to ’Install’ tab but (0mb) instead. I even was able to browse and add files from my pc while phone was plugged in and in recovery mode, not anymore though.
Can anyone give me advice or help to get my oneplus 3 back in use? I have all the important files moved to my pc so I don’t mind losing files I have left in internal storage that much. Not if it’s necessary or easier workaround. thanks for reading this long-ass text :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: Issue SOLVED thanks to @AkR2014. I switched data partition from EXT4 to F2FS and then one more time back to EXT4 in TWRP's Wipe tab. (I was using latest blue_spark's TWRP-3.2.1-x version) and I was able to wipe data, system and both caches afterwards. After that I managed to flash new rom via USB-C to A with mounted USB flash drive on the other end and you know rest of the story. Do note that it WILL clear your internal storage so back up all the necessary files you need. And if you want to stay on F2FS data partition be sure to flash a ROM which supports it
EDIT2: There might be another way to mount your storage in TWRP but this is probably fail-proof method and worked for me

Oh and I couldn’t flash the Gapps in recovery after flashing the CosmicOs and nor I can’t now because of this haha. I can use my email though and send files through it from my another email if that helps

Wait, I think I found it. But the question is can and do I need to update the latest eng.stk’s TWRP through fastboot? And if so, is there instructions topic somewhere?

So here's the latest update: I flashed twrp-3.1.1-2 via fastboot but once I go to recovery it still doesn't let me browse files in /sdcard and if I put new password in OS it doesn't match in TWRP. I have a OS where I can boot to but no Gapps installed.
People say formatting data in TWRP would work, I'm just scared if that doesn't work and won't let me boot to OS anymore (even though I have a TWRP back up which I made before wiping my OxygenOS system data and caches in my pc as well in my phone's storage atm) and I can't flash anything in recovery mode, is there anything I could do? I'm in desperate need of help right now.
In this CosmicOS i am using Android 8.1.0 and I'm afraid something isn't supporting it or so.

As I said, flash eng.stk's TWRP. Simply flash the image to Recovery partition using the TWRP you already have. After that, wipe everything and clean flash the ROM. If anything goes wrong, you can use the Mega Unbrick guide method 2.

Thanks for the reply and link. I understood most of the parts except flashing the image to Recovery partition. Am I supposed to find the eng.stk’s TWRP from my Install tab in my current TWRP? Because it doesn’t show any files there. Also do I download the latest 3.2.1-x TWRP from the link you provided?

You will find TWRP 3.2.1-x v8.61 in the link I provided. Download that to your phone and save it. Restart your phone in recovery mode and in the current TWRP that you have, click the 'Install' button. By default, you will be shown zip files,if any. TWRP comes as an img file. So click the 'show img files' button at bottom right in TWRP and navigate to where you saved it and select it. Slide the bottom bar to install, you will be asked where to install it to. Select 'Recovery' and again slide the bar. It will be installed. To confirm, restart in recovery mode and check the version number of TWRP.
eng.stk's TWRP is compatible with OOS and custom ROMS. The offficial one doesn't work with some custom ROMs.

1 ) Go to twrp
2 ) wipe - > Advance wipe > change system file partation
3) if your on F2FS change to ext 4 or vice versa .
4 ) you will be able to mount sdcard
and dont flash this rom again , faceed same issue while flashing some oreo rom .
P.S : do it at your own risk .

Thanks man :highfive: I have really nothing to lose anyways so I gotta try that lol. How can I know whether I am on F2FS or EXT 4 though? And once it’s done can I access to my phone storage while it’s in recovery mode and just paste new rom to internal storage? Or do I need to push the rom via adb while in fastboot mode? Thinking to try out Paranoid rom which is based on Nougat, right?

Thanks for clarification tnsmani, appreciate the time you put into it. But as the person who replied to your text, I cannot mount the storage in TWRP which would prevent me of flashing pretty much anything on phone in TWRP.

yap you will be able to access your internal storage as well flash any thing you want from internal storage , no need to push via adb , use deskinfo app from playstore to check
the format of your data partition. yah try Omni 8.1.0 really awsome rom i am currently using. :laugh:

If you are able to boot into fastboot mode, you can install TWRP through ADB.
But you can not copy, paste in TWRP.

Great to hear that. Though I don’t have Gapps installed. Accidentally tried to flash the wrong one before the mounting problem occurred and now you know rest of the story :laugh:
I’ll try to find another way to check it though. Oh and as well as the ROM

!!..Can't mount system after re-partition NOKIA XL..!!

From this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-x/general/tutorial-how-to-partition-nokia-x-xl-t3450079
Hi Everyone,
I'm just sign up for new member in XDA. I need your helping hand for my Nokia XL.
I 'd read this thread from beign to end , and every comments. I decided to re-partition my XL (28/02/2020).
Everthing is OK. No error,re-partition had done ,everythings seem like OK,
but whenI reboot to TWRP-3.0.3-0. Every partition (Data,Cache,Dalvik etc. can mounted except the only one,System can't mount.
So I can't flash anything (ROM,New Recovery)
because it show :Failed to mount system with invalid argument.
I've tried to reformat, change to Ext2 and change back to Ext4,
remove old partiton and make new partition by parted and etc.,
It's still can't mount.
How can I do with it?
Any advise or suggestion for me , Please.
Best regard.
(Sorry for my poor english)

Back up your data and wipe all partitions.

Thanks for your suggestion KelvinCrag.
I can wipe every partitions except system. It's show failed to mount system.
I tried to flash stock rom by NokiaXFlasher,Every .img flashed done (boot,recovery,cache,persist,userdata,variant) except system.img.
Tried to revome all of partition of /dev/block/mmcblk0P* by fdisk or parted. But alls of them still remain
I have all of partition backup before re-partition (mmcblk0.img) and tried to restore to /dev/block/mmcblk0.It still failed to mount system.
So I have no idea to do now.
Wait for your suggestion, Please,
Thanks again.

It's either you made a mistake while following yshalsager tutorial to re-partition or it's because your recovery is unstable, the ONLY stable twrp for nokiaX/XL is V2.8.7
Anyway try this fix;
- Download and run this script.
- Wipe all partitions
- Download this Nokia XL Images
- Extract mmcblk0p23.img - mmcblk0p25.img - mmcblk0p26.img to /sdcard (internal storage).
Using your twrp recovery
- Flash FormatAdditon.zip
- Also flash RestoreAdditon.zip
And Done! Don't forget to hint the thanks button

Sorry that I come late.
KelvinCrag : Many thanks for your advise :good::good:
OK. I've tried to do following your step:
1. Wipe all partitions. =>Still failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)
2. Flash Re-Partition-XL.zip. => Done but failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)
3. Flash FormatAdditon.zip. => Done but failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)
4. Flash RestoreAddition.zip => Done, reboot to system . It's stuck on NOKIA logo.
In my idea, I think the only one problem is that /system partition (May be I'm wrong).
I agree with you about "It's either you made a mistake while following yshalsager tutorial to re-partition or it's because your recovery is unstable" and I don't know what happened.
I'm so sorry about the "Thanks" button (555) I've just seen button when you said.
OK. I'll hint it. :laugh::laugh: and wait for any advise.
Thanks you.

You're more than welcome...
You mentioned in your previous post that you were unable to flash a new recovery. What recovery were you attempting to flash? and was it a zip or an img file?

Thank you KelvinCrag :
I have TWRP-2.8.7.0-normandy.img and miui_XL.Zip.
I tried to flash them by
1. - fastboot flash recovery TWRP-2.8.7.0-normandy.img
- It's say Done.
- Take off battery and wait for 10 sconds, re-insert it.
- Boot to recovery. It still be a TWRP-3.0.3-0
2. - Boot to recovery and flash it by install TWRP-2.8.7.0-normandy.img
- When it ask for system or recovery I selected option recovery
- Can't install : Failed to mount /system
So I can't change recovery to others.
Any suggestions for me?
I'm just new XDA-Member and I don't know how to hint Thanks button.
I've first press it. It change to yellow button and I've press it again, It's chnage to grey button.
Is it finished? I don't know it's right or wrong steps?
Thanks you.

You cannot give thanks twice to a single post, and if you try to, it changes from yellow to grey; meaning you un-thanked me... But you can choose to thank any or few of my posts.
Okay, let's try this one more time.
Flash stock ROM by Nokia X flasher as you did before but this time install this King Root to root your phone and install flashify to change recovery using @smrshkh786 Tutorial.
Ohhh it wouldn't boot... You know what? I'll find my Nokia X and try some things in it. If anything comes up I'll let you know.
But you did remember what @yshalsager said
