2.
Code:
su
3.
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock11 /system

Thank you
The root process worked for me. Now i can install link2sd and set up a swap partition.
I cant install TWRP and i think the reason is that the bat was having some problem to send that bootmenu.tar file to my sd card. I tried to send that file myself before starting the entire process and it didnt worked.
I took a picture of the error i'm getting . Thank you again, i was really mad about that low internal space xD

same problem... someone can fix it? please

Ok, I've made a fixed script here. The error was that the sdcard is a directory so it will refuse to push files into it.
Here's the updated script below. Just put the .bat file in the same place as the other files.

Thanks

Ty for the quickly answer.
Btw, my gsm network wasnt working after the root process. If the same thing happens to someone else, just do a master reset and it will work again.

pull command is working now
That sdcard copy part is working now. The TWRP process is still not working for me. I tried to do myself the commands using the adb interface and when i use the command to intall the tar, i got the message 'tar: no space left on device" . I hope you can help me with that and i'm sorry about all this questions xD .

Yes but it sometimes gets unstable so you should overclock to 700MHz which is the highest I got without reboots. pll2_l_val=73 gives you 700MHz.

It worked for others but in your situation the only thing I can advise is to do a data wipe and relfash SBF file. Just go to Guitwo2's there to install permanent CWM.

INSTALLATION
Auto-Method
1) Extract the contents of the RAR file.
2) Double-click "Install.bat".
3) Prompt will open, click any button to proceed.
4) RSA Fingerprint message will appear on the phone (accept).
5) After installation procedure, type "y" and press enter to reboot into recovery!
1st Manual Method: Initiate ADB and use the following code.
Code:
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]REPLACE "XXX" WITH THE ACTUAL IMG NAME! DO NOT TYPE THE ORANGE WRITING![/COLOR]
adb push XXX.img /data/local/tmp/XXX.img
adb shell
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]IF YOU DONT SEE A # prompt, type su to get it.[/COLOR]
cd /data/local/tmp
dd if=/data/local/tmp/XXX.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Be sure to replace "data/local/tmp" with the actual place your img is stored.[/COLOR]
exit
adb reboot recovery
2nd Manual Method: Place the img on your phone, then use a terminal emulator app with the following code.
Code:
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]REPLACE "XXX" WITH THE ACTUAL IMG NAME! DO NOT TYPE THE ORANGE WRITING![/COLOR]
su
dd if=/data/local/tmp/XXX.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
[COLOR="DarkOrange"](Be sure to replace "data/local/tmp" with the actual place your img is stored.)[/COLOR]
Optional Method: If you want to run some safety checks first, use loki [method here as first option].
INSTALL THEME MANUALLY
1) Connect your phone to your PC.
2) Go into your "internal storage" (internal SD card).
3) Find and open the TWRP folder.
4) Add a folder called "theme".
5) Place the ui.zip into the "theme" folder.
ENTER RECOVERY
Method 1: Hold the power button + volume down button until the LG image appears. Once it does let go of the buttons then immediately push and hold them again until recovery boots.
NOTE: The method above will arrive at the "hard reset" area, but when choosing hard reset, it will take you to TWRP (without actually resetting).
Method 2: Download the free app "Rebooter" from Google Play. If you have root, you will be able to select to reboot into recovery (among other options).
SLOW WIPE CACHE FIX
1) Once in TWRP, go into Settings.
2) Check off the box, "Use rm -rf instead of formatting."
3) Go back and now go into Wipe.
4) Wipe Cache (or another option with wiping cache).
Credit: Credit goes to Dees_Troy and wolfgart, djrbliss who made all recoveries for this phone possible, WACOMalt for his steps, and thecubed for his auto-install code.
USB-OTG
To access USB-OTG devices, go into the desired area (Install, Backup, or Restore). Select "Internal Storage" at the top. Press your USB-OTG device. It may take a second to show as selected on the screen. Once selected, press OK.
If your device does not show up, you can first try going to Mount and check off the USB-OTG box. If it doesn't allow you to check the box, then it doesn't support that device.
NOTE: It may not work with OTG cables and USB devices...
MISC.
Folder Name - There is an "issue" with the date and time [1970]. This issue is reflected in the backup folder names. There are two options to change a backup folder name:
Go into recovery and select Restore. Select the folder you wish to rename. There should now be an option to change the backup folder name.
Go into your TWRP folder by connecting to a PC or using a file explorer and change the backup folder name.
Time Zone - The time zone may be wrong but can be changed in Settings.

Thank you ! Flash successfull on my D802.
But when I want to wipe cache + dalvik cache, it stay on "wipe cache", it's normal issue ?

When I used Wipe Cache it took a long time to finish.

Ok thank you
Like 10 minutes or more ?

I've noticed the time changing for certain things. One restore I did took nearly 30 minutes! I did restore after that took less than 10. As long as it works, that's all that matters! :good:

Did you have a recovery before this installed? If so, what recovery? Did you have a good WiFi connection when you downloaded the file (i.e @home, @restaurant, etc.)? Did you try any other methods before flashify?
This should be fixable in either case. If you have a backup from before, I suggest restoring. If not, then you may have to follow this guide to unbrick your phone.
Oddly enough, I'll be in Singapore tomorrow, but I won't be able to reply until late night.

Works perfectly. Thanks!

Heya! Restoring as we speak. Home networks pretty stable.
Currently downloading the firmware. I can see that the system was not mounted on TWRP. Hence the Recovery bootloop.
Jumped from the Samsung era, gosh I didnt know LG doesnt have much support.
Once back up, bahhh imma just remain stock till more Devs pops up.
Cheers man.

[Q] FP1 - 1.6 unified storage upgrade: Problems

hi!
i installed the regulat 1.6 update to my FP1 and everything was just fine.
then I tried to install the "unified 1.6 update" which worked but the problems begun:
things I noticed:
1. backup ist not really a backup for the apps but just a way to reinstall the apps I had installed without any settings. not a fun way to find that out when reopening your apps.
2. the update to the 1.6 unifyed also messed with my SD card and deleted files and put new ones there. not something I was expecting. luckily I had a backup of the SD card.
the thing I am looking for a solution:
after merging the partitions I cannot acces the phone storage on my PC (mac osx 10.9.4). not directly as a drive. the android fil transfer tool works, but it does not have all abilities finder/explorere provides. how do I get acces to the phone storage again?
As all my settings are gone anyway I am open to reinstall the phone from scratch.

Because of the partition layout it no longer is possible to expose the internal storage as mass storage device. Adb will work but the preferred way of transferring files is using the MTP protocol.
I am not a mac user but I think you need to install some additional software.

thanks a lot, that is what I feared.

hi, i'm also have an upgrade problem: mine is that i can't upgrade at all.
i've repartitioned earlier with the app mentioned in the wiki (wiki/Fairphone_Fairphone/Guides#How_to_partition_your_Fairphone).
i've also done the steps _keesj descripes in thread "unified storage setup on re-partitioned FP1" ("Steps for "fiixing" your upgrade").
i'm having Cherry 1.6, and two 7 GB partitions.
does anyone has a solution?

thanks, i've read it again and tried _keesj's solution again, unfortunately it didn't solve my situation.
i'm a layman in this area, so probably i shoudn't haved 'played' with partitions at all (but with the app it was easy).
my previous post wasn't quite complete... i have had an unified partition before...
because of an app that didn't work, i used the repartition app again to see if that could solve the problem.
it did, but later i wondered if a wrong install in the unified sistuation was the problem... so i thought 'let's try the unified partition again'...
i thought i could simply re-use the Fairphone Updater...
so maybe i'm now having a unified partition divided in 2?
and lost the ability to ever upgrade to newer versions of the Fairphone OS?
i hope someone can help me...

how do I allow it? i didn't get the question you've got ("ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?").
i downloaded Cherry 1.6 again and chose Install, gave it SU (forever) access, it automatically restarted to the Android with the text “Installing system update…” (no progress bar), and after a few minutes it restarted and nothing is changed. After starting the Fairphone Updater again, it immediately gave the Install option again. Same after selecting the Storage Upgrader.
I also tried restoring from the recovery (default, never replaced), from sd and adb (1.6 does install, 1.3 doesn't, and 1.6 partition upgrader doesn't either, gets aborted)…

Non unified images have a different signature. The moment you use the partition upgrader it will change the accepted signature and will no longer allow older images. If all is as I expected your running image is still the parition upgrader image and it contains the tools to perform the last step of the re-partitioning (e.g. calling the script and performing a recovery with format).
If you want to know what is going wrong with the zip install check the /cache/recovery direcotry. it will contain logs of the failing install.
As for a solutions I think you either need to run the script or flash your device using a 1.6 FUSE image.

I couldn't find any (log) files in /cache/recovery, but...
flashing the EBR1 from the FUSE binaries (FP1U) to my FP1 solved it! :victory:
thanks to _keesj, Rick (from Fairphone) and Christian (Fairphone forum)!
here is Rick's tutorial (with a few notes of my own):
You can only fix this by flashing your phone:
For GURU's only! (flashing with ADB). The alternative is to use the windows flasher tool.
1) Download the original image binaries from Fairphone's site (as a new user I, jjjanssen, can't post links yet).
(Download FP1U's zip: Fairphone_Cherry_1.6_FUSE_Image_2014-07-31.zip)
2) unzip the file
(I chose to unzip to location D:/FP1U.
after that i moved all content from the directory which contained EBR1, to D:/FP1U.)
3) enable usb debugging (on your phone: Settings, Developer options, turn USB debugging on)
4) push EBR1 on the phone: (Open (if you're using Windows) the Command Prompt)
adb push FP1U/EBR1 /mnt/sdcard/
(For instructions on how to use ADB search this site)
5) become root:
adb shell
(after that I also became super user (command su), but maybe that's not necessary; Rick didn't mention it. )
6) override the partition inforation:
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/EBR1 of=/dev/ebr1
7) reboot into recovery:
reboot recovery
8) choose to wipe data and cache
(after that, choose reboot)

There are multiple methods, i will post the 3 i know here
If you have stock recovery and you are on Lollipop
Install fastboot tools (Android) from google's Sdk on your PC
Reboot in Fastboot mode, pressing volume - and USB cable into the pc or enter into fastboot using in adb (with usb debug enabled) adb reboot-bootloader
Enter the command : fastboot -i 0x1bbb flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-m1_Idol3.img (I suggest to rename the file, for to example twrp.img, so you just write fastboot-i 0x1bbb flash recovery twrp.img)
write : fastboot reboot, and when the phone is starting, only press volume+ and you will enter to TWRP
If you have TWRP installed (Any android version)
Boot into TWRP using Vol+ and Power
Go to Install
Press Install Image and search twrp-3.1.0-0-m1_Idol3.img
Then Press Recovery, swipe and it is installed
If you have MM stock, without TWRP and ROOT
Install/Search Rashr from Play Store
Grant SD and Root Permissions
Press Recovery, then search twrp-3.1.0-0-m1_Idol3.img
Press install and you are done
Bug/s TWRP 3.1.0-0
You can't reboot into Recovery from Recovery (you can just press vol+ to avoid this)
It shows internal Storage 2 times, but does not affect in anything (just make sure when you wipe, just wipe 1 and not both at the same time)
You tell me
Bug/s TWRP 3.0.2-0-r5
You can't reboot into Recovery from Recovery (you can just press vol+ to avoid this)
Sort of Laggy (like TWRP 3.0.1-0)
You tell me

My bad, I had the 2.8.7.0 version and it can install images. Installed on 6045K without problems, I didn't tried to flash system or wipe data, I don't know will it be problems with that. Anyway, thanks a lot for EVERY single man for making such a great things for this phone including you @panchovix ☺.

Where exactly do you see this? I see "6045" in the Device Manager, and "recovery" when doing "adb devices".

Same here... Nothing happens on the device, and the backup file that gets created on the PC has this one line:
Code:
/sbin/sh: /system/bin/bu: not found
When I checked /system/bin in unpacked ramdisk, I found it to be completely empty, but I did find /sbin/bu. So... Not knowing enough to figure out what exactly was wrong here, I just copied the contents of /sbin into /system/bin, repacked the img, and flashed it. Guess what? ADB backup works now. So, someone smarter than me should figure out how to "properly" fix it, because I am pretty damn sure what I did was not the right thing to do, even though it seemed to solve the problem... I didn't do much testing, other than completing the adb backup. Too late, going to bed now...

@panchovix
I already found it!
This is how to backup system for example:
Code:
adb backup -f system.img --twrp system
And in adb folder you will get system.img
How it works:
adb backup -f <filename> --twrp <options> ( --compress: compress data )
options:
system: backup system
cache: backup cache
data: backup data
boot: backup boot
etc for each partition.
Read this if you want to learn more about it:
https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/commit/ce8f83c48d200106ff61ad530c863b15c16949d9
And twrp-lux-3.0.2-r5 can do backup to in the same way! Just need to copy the bu file into /system/bin folder and compile it again... -_-
I think twrp-lux-3.0.2-r5 is better than TWRP 3.1 ...
The MTP works better on pc.
This is twrp-lux-3.0.2-r5_Idol3.img -> https://mega.nz/#!wsAgBSiY!DifwUCYvIoOmMXp14u0ZuBaekhCVmnEDdurU2_6UFfw
This is twrp-3.1.0-0-m1_Idol3.img fixed -> https://mega.nz/#!55hFCABY!GovSGXaQ1muuU0c-wDYN-40iapzey5Jp0AFhIp2B3qg
If you need help just tell me, maybe i can help!

Looks like you already figured out the backup process... Just to note, it also creates the regular backup folder on the device, but also copies it over through ADB to the PC. Yeah, I think it should be either a symlink, or maybe some playing around with the PATH variable, not sure... I did the most simple thing, just to test it out: if a binary is expected in some folder, just put it there. But it's rather stupid, IMO...

Yeah np, seems he did it, anyways (since I'm not on my home still), did you try to restore the phone with the PC backup? If I'm not wrong it should be adb restore twrp-- ( I can be very wrong lol I don't remember)
That is the most important thing, since you can just move the file to the PC and save space on the phone always

Nope, haven't tried it yet... I will try, but not sure when, as I am really crazy busy now between work and home (I am in the final stages of building my own house, lol).
But to me, honestly, this is just an added convenience over just copying over the standard TWRP backups to the PC. Even without adb backup, we can always copy over the TWRP backup folder(s) to the PC, and delete them from the device. Then simply copy them back to do a restore, when needed... Takes some extra time, sure, but still can easily be done.

{Help} Adding Dual boot patcher support

Being an avid user of Multirom with TWRP on my now dead LG Optimus G, I couldn't deal with the fact there is no multi boot option for my Honor 8 pro. So, I did some research and came to know that "Dual boot patcher" is the preferred solution to boot multiple roms at the moment. Thankfully, the project turned out to be open source and the developer has a well documented Git with information required to add support for new devices. I tried following the dev's guide found here https://github.com/chenxiaolong/DualBootPatcher/wiki/How-to-add-new-Devices-to-DualBootPatcher%3F by flashing the provided zip file. But it did not create any log files in the internal storage. So, if any of you happen to be in stock rom and are willing to help, kindly flash the file found in the above URL and upload the results. I'll proceed with the further steps. Thanks.

Will be glad to help. Can you explain in step-wise format on what to do. Any prerequisites other than a twrp recovery.

Thanks for taking interest in this. To test it out, you will need a device with unlocked bootloader with twrp recovery installed. Also, I believe (not sure though) that file encryption needs to be disabled for this to work. To check file encryption state, go to
Settings → Security & Location → Encryption & Credentials & it shows phone encrypted
or
Use adb command
Code:
adb shell getprop ro.crypto.state
( works on unrooted devices also) returns encrypted or unencrypted
As far as flashing is concerned, it is pretty straight forward. Just download the zip file mentioned in the above post and transfer it to either internal storage or SD card. Boot into TWRP recovery and flash the zip file. If you need any help during the process, feel free to ask.

Hey buddy sorry for the late reply. My phone was bricked so had to get it fixed. Now my phone is updated to Andriod Oreo. Will try to root again and Follow the procedure. It would be helpful if you can give me your whatsapp number because i kind of mess things up and it takes a long time for me to get my phone back up and going. It would be helpful if you can assist on the way.
