FlipOut Recovery (CWM based v2.5.1.2)

this is a port of Tenfar's Defy Recovery for FlipOut. as the hijacks do not work on this model, there is used a different solution to load recovery.
it does not support mount/unmount. but all other function for backup/restore of system & data works (tested).
you can share usb storage to pc, or install unsigned update.zip files.
Credits for the apk goes to Tenfar, modifications to work on flipout with hack to boot is made by me.
It should work on all 2.1 based releses, as long as the phone is rooted.
controls in recovery are: VOL- & VOL+ for up/down and POWER to select.
There is an addon option to run adb at bootup (root based), if you put a empty file named: "adb_bootup" on root of sdcard.
Enjoy! (now lets see some mods!)
Installation instructions:
1. root it (SuperOneClick )
2. Install FlipOutRecovery.apk
3. reboot phone once
4. now enter app and press "Install recovery"
5. next you can chose to reboot recovery , normal reboot or shutdown.

Good job!
Is there a way to install it from bootloader mode?
This is the only available mode i have right now

Thanks for the great work! Things don't get done without people like you!

Care to share your source? I have a port booting on the Motorola Charm, but it fails to reboot properly back to android. It only boots to stock recovery or clockwork mod recovery. Thanks.

my source is in the apk you got i did not have it, i use smali coding here when needed.

I see two problems and it's killing me now...
a. Format SYSTEM doesn't work unless you connect the device and say 'adb remount'
b. after you format the SYSTEM, restoring a Nandroid image will surely tell you "MD5 mismatch", it seems that the nandroid script is trying to use a tool from the /system
Darn it's killing me........

its not 100% , as its not made for the nand devices, and i dont have CM6 installed in a functioning matter, so i cannto recompile it atm..

okay... I see.
BTW, besides the official ROMs, are there anything else to run on the MB511?

entering at boot
is there any way to enter the recovery at boot, rather than from the app.
say as there is with the stock recovery (x and power then release power button)

Not likely. Unless we 'flash' the recovery image to the phone's ROM. (AFAIK, that's not possible. )

so if that's not possible... then how would I effectively use the backup tool, I mean I would only need it if the phone wasn't working properly

backup purposes for now.. you would backup and be able to recover..
or if someone made a mod of a rom of course..
you do not need to format anything to install and restore backups, only those experimenting will fail in their mission to mess up i think...

Again, many thanks on behalf of my wife.

Thanks dex

Thanks
Finally! i have the possibility of backup my rom!

Thank for this great work, is this can be fully uninstall?

thanks for this work!
i want to backup my flipout. do i get a sbf file and what do i have to choose in the recovery-app?
thanks

no, you get a full backup of filesystems on your mobile, into a Nandroid/openrecovery/[serialnumber/date] folder which you can restore again the same way..
sbf is motorola only.

okay thank you!
i tried it in this way:
app: install recovery system -> recovery boot
boot menue: restore/backup -> backup
after a time of waiting my phone restarts.
but i dont have a "nandroid" folder on my sd card..
only a "goapkrev/backup/..."
with files cache.img, data.img, nadroid.md5, system.img
did i anything wrong?
how do i get a sbf file normaly?

Click to expand...

this is correct. i was wrong... the ClockWorkMod used here uses a different folder name, but the purpose is the same.
now you should be able to make a full restore of data filesystem, which is primary i think.. /system is more or less not changed for anyone since we all use sbf's installed, but data is important to backup.

[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.
Changelog :

Initial release
- 2.6.3.2
Fixed adb connection now it runs fine and runs in root mode.

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

Sent from my MT1-U06 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

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.

What about 'CWM Recovery' ?
If one succeeds with this TWRP and rooting, then I think one can change TWRP to CWM using flashify or Rashr, provided he/she should confirm that the 'CWM Recovery' will work on Lenovo A 7000 a with android 6.0 OS. But I do not know if the 'CWM' recovery thatwas used earlier when we were on android 5.0, will still work with android 6.0 or not. Can anybody confirm?

this is working men thanks:angel:

Use the stock rom found here to go back to factory settings using the stock marshmallow rom. Make sure that you flash using SP Flash Tool as instructed in the link. This will replace TWRP with stock recovery.
Afterwards, you can reinstall TWRP and root,etc.

I think you have copied the SuperSU-v71.zip in external storage and in TWRP you are searching in internal storage.If it is so the paste it in internal or change storage selection at the time of installing zip.
And paste the zip in root of the storage not in any folder.
As i can see this is your 1st post.
I think this will help you.

Mounting issue with TWRP
After switching sdcard as internal storage. The file manager only shows the ext. Sdcard so from where we can access the internal Sdcard to put that Supersu.zip.And the TWRP only mount only internal Sdcard. Not able to mount ext. Sdcard plz. Help!

Hey can i flash this supersu.zip via twrp 3.02-1?
Couple hours ago i flashed supersu.zip from lenovo a7000 indonesia group, and all i got was bootloop. Is it possible that with this supersu i could get another bootloop? Thanks

[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.

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.

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 .

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.

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?

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

[HELP] im stuck with no os and mtp wont work in twrp and also ADB isnt working

i flashed miui 9.3.28 and then booted twrp , but it was asking for password so i went to wipe and repaired data using ext4 ,and then procceded to wipe data, vendor, cache, system and now im stck with no os and i cant use adb sideload to install a rom please help :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

Reboot into fastboot(keep pressed power and vol - buttons until you plug cable to pc otherwise it can start rebooting system) and flash latest fastboot miui(you need to unzip it first): http://en.miui.com/a-234.html via XiaoMiFlash tool with clean all option. If you can't see your device in tool press refresh in MiFlash tool you have also Driver section check this. Another option is to install google latest_usb_driver via device menager(right click on your device->update-driver->browse pc -> and select usb driver.

I got the exact same problem after flashing the same beta build. Nothing worked for me so I had to flash the fastboot image and roll back the stable channel.

Op next time don't wipe vendor partition.In your case you should get recovery with supports MIUI on androind 9 and if ou had encrypted data you should format the data. Here you have similar situation: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/recovery-pie-update-miui10-t3916963 (I didn't try this one)

Remember For decryption it only needs to format data partition only.
How will it boot if you wiped system as well as vendor partition.
If you can get in recovery just flash the update file 9.3.28 and u r ready to go.

I did all that and formatted the data partition which was decrypted afterwards. The problem is that internal storage gets re-encrypted after I boot to system.

Flash lazyflasher-no-verity-opt-encrypt after flashing custom ROM and then decrypt. Try if it's works.

Can you give the version of twrp which worked in Pie.

Regarding your problems
Copy any rom to a micro sd card and flash it through twrp if done ur done

Try using OrangeFox Recovery, I had the same issue ADB & MTP connection with TWRP for Whyred.

Thanks. My main problem was that mtp driver of Miui was wrong. And the decrypt error was solved by Redwolf recovery. i have yet to try OrangeFox one.
