[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

Custom kernel :

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

Also we already passed to TWRP 2.7.0.0.

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.

It worked for me, I had the same problem

Try using this recovery by @suhas.holla TWRP v 2.8 but it has some issues while taking backup and clearing cache partition.
Thread Link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/guide-root-moto-g-2nd-gen-2014-t2874245/
Else use TWRP v2.7 by @suhas.holla Working perfectly fine only bug is you cant backup to internal sdcard, backup to external sd is possible.

"mismatch partition size" is normal, all non official image show this message. To access you have to select recovery from bootloader and press volume up button.

I installed this recovery ..but when i try to create a backup it gives an error saying that cannot crete a backup folder

I can take a twrp backup only in sd card... Cant take backup in internal memory.... Please help

Would you mind telling me what you changed?
I'm trying to get a tree for the phone.
Also, could someone with a stock phone boot into the stock recovery, reboot back to the os and give me the /cache/recovery/last_log file.

Please delete, I'm stupid

You don't are using the recovery from this thread, the first version don't have sdcard support, so you probably are using the version from suhas.holla. Flash the recovery from this thread that you are be able to backup to internal memory.

I ported from Moto G v1 recovery, and I basically change the fstab and the property string, is essentially the same phone. A tree for this phone can probably be be a copy from Moto G v1 with small changes, the problem is that the kernel source don't was release yet.

Ctr , I never thought we will get it . even I dint assumed getting a cwm pure port for our phone .
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.

Probably a bad flashing and you are needing repari partitions, for that I recommend start from beginning again:
- flash miui rom for fastboot (unpack zip rom in your adb folder for better performance, connect device to pc into mode fastboot, be sure device be recogniced typing; fastboot devices then right click mouse and execute like admin over "flash all".
- then to install rom you can flash again twrp via fastboot typing any place adb folder and placing file recovery.img this folder; fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- then go to recovery with hardware keys and flash supersu v.2.79

- then to install rom you can flash again twrp via fastboot typing any place adb folder and placing file recovery.img this folder; fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- then go to recovery with hardware keys and flash supersu v.2.79

two things; I assume that trying to flash from extSD, if yes with file explorer of recovery copy to internal memory, maybe an issue to reading extSD, also you can to install a newer version of recovery 3.0.3.2 works sometimes for me and last here you have a reading page about install fastboot on mac (nightmare) http://www.stechguide.com/setup-adb-and-fastboot-on-mac-easy-step-by-step-guide/

[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.

he is unable to mount storage via twrp , i have the sol but it will format your whole data / internal storage if your wiling to .
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
