[RECOVERY] Safestrap for Droid 3 [2012/10/17: Version 3.05 SD BUGFIX]

SAFESTRAP v3.05 (2nd-System Bootstrap / Recovery)
PRIOR TO UPGRADING TO V3.x FROM V2.x MOVE THE /sdcard/safestrap FOLDER FROM YOUR /sdcard TO THE /sdcard-ext. THIS OPENS UP VALUABLE INTERNAL EMMC SPACE WHERE ROM SLOTS ARE CREATED. AND KEEPS YOUR V2 BACKUPS SAFE IN CASE YOU WANT TO REVERT TO V2 AND USE THEM TO RESTORE.

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: How to Safestrap
[ DOUBLE-CHECK you have the DROID3 VERSION ]
CHANGES:
[10/17] (3.05) Fixed SD card / emmc sharing in recovery (UMS)
[10/17] (3.05) Fixed recovery installation/removal from ROM-slots
[10/14] Updated to v3.04 BETA.
[10/14] Recovery is now based off TWRP 2.2.2.1 (fully featured touch-based recovery)
[10/14] Can create up to 4 Virtual ROM-slots to flash ROMs to and when "Active" ALL TWRP functions affect that ROM-slot (For example: Flashing .zips, Backup and Restore)
[10/14] Nearly instant swapping from ROM to ROM
[10/14] User selectable data partition sizes during ROM slot creation: 1GB, 2GB or 3GB
[10/14] ROM slots are saved on the internal emmc space so that preinstall and webtop partitions are no longer used and shouldn't break OTAs.
[10/14] Charging in recovery
[10/14] Supports "Reboot Recovery" from Android OS
Entry to recovery via Splashscreen on boot-up. The screen stays up for around 8-10 seconds and if you hit the menu button, it takes you to Safestrap Recovery.
SPECIAL THANKS TO:
The entire TWRP team who has built an AMAZING recovery system.
The testers which have helped in past and present versions of Safestrap, knowing that it could mean they brick their devices.
As always, let me know what you think!

A quick note about why I made a MotoBlur 5.6.890 ROM .zip for Safestrap:
1. This is the stock version of our Phone's software. If you want to swap back and forth between CM7 and the standard software, but NOT turn off "Safe System" then you need a stock ROM to use. This is it.
2. Devs can use this ROM as a sort of base for making their skinned ROMs without fear of bootlooping into an SBF. Feel free to tweak and hack away.. nothing you can do to the ROM will force you to fastboot restore. At worst you're looking at a battery pull -> bp-tools -> recovery -> restore.
3. I know some people are checking dev servers for future Moto updates. In theory I will pull the /system images from those updates and put out updated MotoBlur ROMs in the future as a way of test driving upcoming Moto patches w/o fear of leaving yourself stranded on an upgrade path that won't be supported.

So, im just curious, if I wanted to...
I could run say steel droid, then install safestrap, flash cm7,
And by turning safestrap off/on, I could technequally go back and forth
between 2 custom roms? Or do I have to keep the /system partition clean?

Actually the idea for Safestrap is to keep the main system clean.
I'm working with ChevyCam to get a Safestrap version of SteelDroid. Then you can use Safestrap exactly like regular recovery where you would swap from ROM to rom via backup and restore. The advantage being your method of recovery entry and ROM booting is always protected.

Great news !!!
Safestrap works on the XT883 rom too at least w/o the ota update, I'm going to test it on the updated system.

Thanks so much for clarifying, and thanks a million times over for all the great work you've selflessly done for the Droid3 community. I look forward to future CM7 updates.

hey hashcode, just a clarification, we can use safestrap like koush's bootstrap, but we just must turn safe system off right? cause your post makes it seem as if we cant do this

Right now, zips applied with Safestrap are applied to the 2nd-system only. In theory I could make some adjustments to allow for applying zips to the original system as well.. and while I understand the idea of "dual booting" a phone seems fantastic, it's really just an unrecoverable bootloop waiting to happen.
I'd rather that Droid 3 users turn on "Safe System" and never turn it off again (or need to). If all of our ROMs were installable via Safestrap I really feel that we would see alot less "I've bootlooped" postings on the boards.
For the recovery portion of Safestrap: it does NOT backup the original system. Only the 2nd-system, data and cache partitions. (Remember the idea is that you basically root your original system, toss on Safestrap and then enter recovery and toss a .zip onto your 2nd system)
I'm considering changing this in the next version of Safestrap so that backups from Safestrap can be used for full system recovery.

Another question with which to bother you...
When you have the option to do a backup, will you have the ability to choose the destination where the backup is stored as well as the location from where the backup can be restored (either internal or external storage)?
Thank you for your time.

Excellent work, I think this is a fabulous idea and should be the de facto standard for these locked devices. Were you still thinking about using a 2nd data/cache partition as well?
I think it would be pretty sweet if you could loopback mount file system images stored on internal storage for the system/data/cache partitions to implement a proper and safe multiboot system. I don't know how much of a performance hit this would take though.
Anyway, the one suggestion I would make about backing up the original system is to not do it as part of the regular backup/restore. Since system should rarely change, it'd be a waste of time and storage space to back it up every time. Could you either make it a separate option, or perhaps only back it up if the partition's checksum changed?
Besides, if you hose your system and need to restore it, you're probably not going to be using this recovery anyway.

I can confirm it works on the updated system too, btw for some odd reasons I'm unable to do a nandroid backup.
I''m investigating what's going on...

So in order to switch to another ROM (from CM7), that is not Safestrap compatible, I just need to toggle safe mode in recovery?
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App

Yes. But beware of bootloops caused by not wiping your data between ROM switches.
To prevent that from happening you currently need to maintain copies of your data via backup/restore.. This will get addressed in the next version of Safestrap.

I have a version of Steel Droid that is supposed to be safestrap compatible. Im uploading it now. Will test it really quick, to be sure, and if its all good, will post a link!

Ok I spoke too soon, backup and restore doesn't works on XT883
The backup folder is created correctly on the SDcard, the backup process starts normally with the /system partitons and then the process fails telling that there was an error while backing up the system partition.
Hashcode do you have any idea ?
The only differences in the partitioning between the two systems are the mount options
this is the 862
/dev/block/system on /system type ext3 (ro,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,data=ordered)
and this the 883
/dev/block/system on /system type ext3 (rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)

Do we install the MOTOBLUR Rom via safestrap or can we install it via bootstrap if coming from another Rom?
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App

I guess it's safe to assume that this is not OK for international Droid3's like the XT860 / ME863?

Just a few short hours later I'm feeling adventurous, but the backup step indicates the MD5 generation failed. Any ideas?

Tol flash the leak or to not flash the leak
Hashcode,
There seem to be too differing opinions on whether or not it is safe to flash the ICS leak or not. Being the android guru that you are, would you mind weighing in or whether or not this is safe to do? It seems, based on the fact the people are able to go from .200 to .206 that, theoretically, you should be able to use the same method to flash the OTA when it comes out and get back on the upgrade path. What are your thoughts? Thanks!

Just used safestrap 2.0 to do a full system backup. I think the confusing thing about pressing the keys to enter or skip the safestrap menu is the lack of haptic feedback when pressing the menu or search softkeys.
Thanks for your work hashcode. Without you the D4 would be lost.

I don't recommend people jump on the ICS leaks just yet. But, if you do and are looking to make backups etc, then Safestrap is probably what you need. Just make sure to do the initial backup of your non-safe system (don't need webtop) so that you can put everything back the way you found it.

Ah the haptic feedback. Yes, I probably should add that back in. As it is, I'm not super thrilled w/ the touch response in the new Safestrap. I probably need to work on it as well. There are times when touches are "lost" and then double up (for 2 touches at once). But hey, it's better than nothing.

I could not agree with you more. I am ecstatic that i was able to make a backup. Now i can work on getting rid of some of this bloat without sacrificing the ability to update again.

I'm behind, say I'm running stock, with safestrap with aokp.
What's the best way to install the leak then install safetrap 2.0?
1. Go to non safe
2. Flash leak
3. Root the leak
4. Install safestrap
That about right?
Any gotchas we should know about?

Here is the link for detailed instructions. If you have to the fastboot route than it is about an hour long process so my advice is start with a fully charged battery.

Follow the instructions posted but the basic rundown will be..
1. Fastboot .219 images
2. Re root phone with motofail.
3. UPDATE SUPERUSER BINARY!!!
4. Use Voodoo rootkeeper to backup root, temp unroot, and restore root.
5. Install .206 ICS leak with stock recovery
6. Use Voodoo Rootkeeper to restore root.
7. Install Safestrap 2.0

Done, and pretty sweet.
No more data issues!
No more not being able to do video!
No more not being able to use flash!
No more weird youtube glitch!
Now to wait to wait for an AOKP port and I'll be perfectly happy!
...Until the next android comes along...

Have you successfully removed any of this awful mototrash? It almost makes me want to go back to CM9's dailys. It's that awful.

I know your questions was not directed towards me but I used Titanium Backup to freeze all of the bloatware, then realized you can do this within the OS under the APPS list. There is a disable button in each app details screen. I froze almost EVERYTHING, except for the My Gallery/music apps. I pretty much did the same thing when I was running GB...was worried that something would cause a bootloop but was very careful I guess. Battery is MUCH better now!!!

Yeah I've done that for the most part. I just really can't stand the motoblur. It's so frustratingly cartoony and awful and I'm really conflicted about what is worse, the intermittent data or this crappy interface.

Good question, I can confirm this new Safestrap does not work for 208. When you push install recovery, it loads and obtains root rights, but it never changes from not installed/not active.

Actually I fixed mine. Make sure you install busybox when you root your phone. I just used the free busybox installer and it fixed it where Safe Strap installed on 208. Woo Hoo! My data from 206 also restored. Thank you god for Hashcode and this wonderful tool. :-D

WARNING: THERE IS AN UNKNOWN ISSUE WHERE IF YOU HAVE ENCRYPTION ENABLED AND INSTALL SS IT BOOTLOOPS. IF YOU FIT THIS DESCRIPTION PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM SAFESTRAP FOR NOW.
UNKNOWN ISSUE: If you try and start Wifi and the device crashes/reboots, try turning on bluetooth prior to enabling wifi and see if that works.
CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:
BETA-STABLE
WHAT IS SAFESTRAP?
Safestrap is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. The goal is to avoid touching your primary system (I'll call this "stock" system) and only flash or make large changes to another place on your phone that Safestrap treats as a "2nd system" (in this case, it's a series of virtual ROM slots located on the internal emmc area: "/sdcard"). Once installed, you will see a "Splashscreen" giving you the option to hit "menu" to enter recovery. The recovery portion of Safestrap is now based on TWRP 2.7.1.x (a touch based recovery) and you can perform .zip installs, backups and restores here. The additional features I've added to TWRP are mostly located under the "Boot Options" menu:
Here you can create virtual ROM-slots for flashing ROMs. These ROM-slots allow for different sizes of /system, /data and /cache partitions. The defaults *SHOULD* be good enough for flashing the stock-based ROMs.
NOTE: The bigger you make these partition the less room you will have to make other ROM-slots.
You can activate a new ROM-slot by choosing the slot you wish to make active and then selecting the "Activate" button. Once active, you will see the "rom-slot#" up in the top of the screen shown in green. If you make the "stock" ROM active, then you can see it in the top shown in red.
Once a ROM-slot is active, all actions you would normally perform using TWRP are directed to that ROM-slot. For example, "Install" to flash a .zip, backup and restore.
For more information you can read up here:
http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/
HOW DO I INSTALL SAFESTRAP?
Requirement: Rooted w/ SuperSU installed
Requirement: Allow APK install from Unknown Sources
Download the Safestrap APK
Find the APK using a Filemanager tool and open it on your device, then click "Install".
(If updating from an existing Safestrap you might be warned that this will over-write the existing installation. Click the "Yes" equivalent to this message.)
Once installed, open up the Safestrap application as you would any other app.
Agree to the disclaimer that you won't try to sue me and hunt me down with a rifle if you manage to break your phone..
Then use the "Install Recovery" button. You should see the current version down in the lower left corner of the window. And the "Status:" should say "Installed" when you're done.
From there you can reboot and you *should* see a new splash screen during the boot up. While this is showing you can enter Safestrap Recovery using the [ menu ] button.
That's it for the installation! Read below for a brief overview of Safestrap Recovery v3.x
HOW DO I ENTER RECOVERY?
During each reboot a splashscreen will be displayed showing whether the device is running a rom-slot or on the "Stock ROM".
Press the button shown on the screen to either enter "RECOVERY" or "CONTINUE" booting.
HOW DO I UPGRADE SAFESTRAP?
Push the APK up to your sdcard.
Boot back into the "stock" rom-slot.
Go into your old Safestrap app and use the "Uninstall Recovery" button
Open an "explorer" of some sort (ESFileExplorer, etc)
Browse to where you pushed the APK
Click on it and install like normal
Once installed, open the APK
Grant SU access
Use the "Install Recovery" button
All set, now you can reboot and re-activate whatever rom-slot you were using

As of version 3.75, Safestrap Recovery is now based on TWRP 2.7.1.x. For more on TWRP you can visit their website: http://www.teamw.in/
WARNING: Safestrap is heavily modified to be "Safe" for your device. Do not download TWRP from their website and expect it to work the same way. Also TWRP does not support Safestrap, tho some issues that may come up will be TWRP dependant, please try and contact myself or look on the forums for your device for answers before hunting down TWRP people. They won't be able to help w/ Safestrap specific questions.
For the purposes of direct user testing I've established a channel on freenode.net IRC: #safestrap
I'm in the channel mostly all the time, but may not be active for discussion.
Special Thanks To
DeesTroy & TeamWin for all their hard work making TWRP such a fantastic recovery

KNOWN ISSUES WHEN USING ROM-SLOTS (The ROMs are kept on loop device mounted partitions)
1. In theory you will lose an extra 3-4 percent battery compared to normal usage from 100% to 0% due to the extra read/write work involved when using ROM-slots.
2. The /data partition is kept separate from the "/sdcard" contents on SS ROMs. This causes the Storage settings to only show the size of the loopback data partition and then it shows "used" which includes the "sdcard" + /data so this can look odd at times (larger usage than partition size). It doesn't have any adverse affects that I know of.
3. No custom kernel flashing support at this time. Don't try it. It won't work. All kernels need to be signed by Amazon at the moment.

*** DISCLAIMER ***
I work on projects that may brick your device. Don't sue me, hate me or try and kill my dog if that happens. I will feel bad the community will feel bad and hopefully we'll find a way to get you going again. But, the very nature of my projects involves a certain amount of risk taken by YOU. And by using the projects that I work on, you've accepted that fact.
THANKS TO MY TESTERS:

PLEASE PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL WITH SAFESTRAP!!
MAKE A BACKUP OF STOCK RIGHT AFTER YOU GET SAFESTRAP INSTALLED SO THAT YOU HAVE SOME KIND OF DISASTER RECOVERY.
THEN YOU CAN RESTORE IT TO A ROM-SLOT (AFTER YOU MAKE ONE).
ONLY MODIFY ROM-SLOT FILES. LEAVE YOUR STOCK ROM ALONE!!
WARNING: THERE IS AN UNKNOWN ISSUE WHERE IF YOU HAVE ENCRYPTION ENABLED AND INSTALL SS IT BOOTLOOPS. IF YOU FIT THIS DESCRIPTION PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM SAFESTRAP FOR NOW.
CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:
ALPHA
WHAT IS SAFESTRAP?
Safestrap is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. The goal is to avoid touching your primary system (I'll call this "stock" system) and only flash or make large changes to another place on your phone that Safestrap treats as a "2nd system" (in this case, it's a series of virtual ROM slots located on the internal emmc area: "/sdcard"). Once installed, you will see a "Splashscreen" giving you the option to hit "menu" to enter recovery. The recovery portion of Safestrap is now based on TWRP 2.6.3.x (a touch based recovery) and you can perform .zip installs, backups and restores here. The additional features I've added to TWRP are mostly located under the "Boot Options" menu:
Here you can create virtual ROM-slots for flashing ROMs. These ROM-slots allow for different sizes of /system, /data and /cache partitions. The defaults *SHOULD* be good enough for flashing the stock-based ROMs.
NOTE: The bigger you make these partition the less room you will have to make other ROM-slots.
You can activate a new ROM-slot by choosing the slot you wish to make active and then selecting the "Activate" button. Once active, you will see the "rom-slot#" up in the top of the screen shown in green. If you make the "stock" ROM active, then you can see it in the top shown in red.
Once a ROM-slot is active, all actions you would normally perform using TWRP are directed to that ROM-slot. For example, "Install" to flash a .zip, backup and restore.
For more information you can read up here:
http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/
HOW DO I INSTALL SAFESTRAP?
Requirement: Rooted w/ SuperSU installed
Requirement: Allow APK install from Unknown Sources
Download the Safestrap APK
Find the APK using a Filemanager tool and open it on your device, then click "Install".
(If updating from an existing Safestrap you might be warned that this will over-write the existing installation. Click the "Yes" equivalent to this message.)
Once installed, open up the Safestrap application as you would any other app.
Agree to the disclaimer that you won't try to sue me and hunt me down with a rifle if you manage to break your phone..
Then use the "Install Recovery" button. You should see the current version down in the lower left corner of the window. And the "Status:" should say "Installed" when you're done.
From there you can reboot and you *should* see a new splash screen during the boot up. While this is showing you can enter Safestrap Recovery using the [ menu ] button.
That's it for the installation! Read below for a brief overview of Safestrap Recovery v3.x
HOW DO I ENTER RECOVERY?
During each reboot a splashscreen will be displayed showing whether the device is running a rom-slot or on the "Stock ROM".
Press the button shown on the screen to either enter "RECOVERY" or "CONTINUE" booting.
HOW DO I UPGRADE SAFESTRAP?
Push the APK up to your sdcard.
Boot back into the "stock" rom-slot.
Go into your old Safestrap app and use the "Uninstall Recovery" button
Open an "explorer" of some sort (ESFileExplorer, etc)
Browse to where you pushed the APK
Click on it and install like normal
Once installed, open the APK
Grant SU access
Use the "Install Recovery" button
All set, now you can reboot and re-activate whatever rom-slot you were using

As of version 3.6x, Safestrap Recovery is now based on TWRP 2.6.3.x. For more on TWRP you can visit their website: http://www.teamw.in/
WARNING: Safestrap is heavily modified to be "Safe" for your device. Do not download TWRP from their website and expect it to work the same way. Also TWRP does not support Safestrap, tho some issues that may come up will be TWRP dependant, please try and contact myself or look on the forums for your device for answers before hunting down TWRP people. They won't be able to help w/ Safestrap specific questions.
For the purposes of direct user testing I've established a channel on freenode.net IRC: #safestrap
I'm in the channel mostly all the time, but may not be active for discussion.
Special Thanks To

Alrighty then! I guess you had it covered! I wondered why I never got a response. At any rate, if anyone has any issues or if you need any further bug testing, feel free to let me know @Hashcode .
As I dig further into the HDX framework, bootloader & kernel it seems like I find some new roadblock that Lab126/Amazon has thrown into the mix.
One last question. I am unfamiliar, totally unfamiliar, with Safestrap. I assume it lives in it's own partition, & recovery calls are redirected there? Does that mean I can remove it & restore the main partition to default size, then use the build.prop hack to return to stock? Or is safestrap modification to partitions semi-permanent?
EDIT: Nevermind, I did a little reversing & checked out your blog. Needless to say, I answered my own question.

When you make a rom slot. You can't miss it. So hands off.

What are the optimum partition values to use when creating a rom slot. Are there values that are usafe to use at this point. By the way thanks @Hashcode for bringing this to the 8.9.

If at any point you decide you need a larger userdata or cache partition, you can:
- run a backup of the rom-slot
- delete it
- then create a new rom-slot w/ the right sizes
- and finally restore the backup to it (after making sure it's active)
So short answer: no real "wrong" sizes. Can stick w/ the defaults if unsure.

Actually, the ENCRYPTION reference I'm talking about is when you turn on Android OS level encryption for the userdata partition. I'm not finding that setting in the Kindle OS Settings anywhere. So we might be ok on that.

Installed. All went well. Now, I wait for a reason to use it lol.

How long until we have safestrap on Soho?
Sent from my rooted 2013 Kindle Fire HD with Tapatalk

as of now there is no rom to load in a rom slot, correct???

No there is no custom ROM to load right now.
As far as I know, you could just load the stock ROM into the rom slot #1 and play around to your heart content without fearing you will brick your device since all you mess around is just a copy of the original one only.

So before this was available or before knew it existed I installed gapps. With it losing amazon shop etc as expected. Point is I would like to get a stock Rom into a Rom slot to recover to now that my stock Rom,is not so stock. Where can I find or get a stock Rom from?
Thanks

So I tried installing ancestral but when I click install recovery from the app it goes through the motions but state never changes. Remains at not installed. Rebooting doesn't bring up the recovery menu.
Going to try to go back to stock and start from beginning. It was awesome using play store!

[Q] Move from CM-11 to CM-13

I have CM-11 (2016-08-15 nightly) installed on my HD+, along with CWM recovery "6046", and am happy with it. However, my other Android devices have Android 6.0, so I thought I'd consider CM-13. Questions:
Is moving to TWRP a requirement? I see statements that CWM recovery is no longer in active development. So what? Are changes being made (see next item) just for the sake of change (a popular activity in software development), or are there real advances that TWRP enables?
In preparation, I downloaded the cm_ovation-ota-MOB31K.161125.zip and open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20170117.zip files. I was astounded by the sixe of the latter. What is with the "Open Gapps" files??? I note that the pico one for v4.4 is 2.5 times the size of the one I have been using ( pa_gapps-modular-pico-4.4.4-20141110-signed.zip ). I thought these were supposed to be basic, minimal files.
I'm looking for an install procedure from CM-11. I assume that just means upgrade to TRWP if necessary, and then just use that to install the above zip. I see no discussions of this in this subforum; is it all over in the "Development" forum?
What is the performance of CM-13 like, and is it now stable enough for daily use? I see a long thread peppered with "thank you"s that started two years ago, and I'm wondering if there's anything more succinct.

FWIW -- I had enjoyed good performance CM11 until about mid last year when many commonly used apps started to become unresponsive and oftentime crashed (force-closed). So over the holidays break I took the plunge and upgraded to Amaces' LN14.1 experimental build lnos_ovation-ota-NMF26Q.170104, so far the performance is as good as it used to be with CM11.

Every major release of CM, starting from CM7 -> CM9 -> CM10 to CM11, has required a new and non-backward compatible version of CWM.
I don't believe that CWM 6.0.4.6 can flash CM12 and CM13, and you can find pointers on what recovery versions are needed and are available at https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/development/boot-sd-external-recoveries-twrp-2-8-3-t3314870.

I used the minimalist pico package, and then added afterward a couple of missing essential apps like Google Maps.

The most straightforward route which I found and used is to create a SD-based recovery using the pre-packaged SD image available at https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww/1/3332706778, just unzip and burn the image to SD then add to the card the ROM, GApps, and (EMMC) TWRP zip files you wish to flash. Then boot up the SD card into TWRP, (optionally backup your CM11 ROM system & data), do "wipe /data & factory reset", and flash the 3 zip files and you are set to go.
Alternatively you can try to use a similar approach as outlined at https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/general/how-to-updating-hd-hd-internal-emmc-to-t2863171 -- i.e., use CWM 6.0.4.6 to flash new TWRP then boot into the new TWRP to wipe and flash new ROM and GApps. This was the route I took when I upgraded to CM12.1 to try it out.

Thanks very much for the info! That's what I did, and it was simple and (reasonably) quick. I note that CM wants to go ahead and install the CWM recovery. I assume I should not let it do so.
Now, to get Titanium Backup to think it's got root. This appears to be a bit of silliness. I tried several "superuser" apps (including the "phh" one), to no avail so far ...
Edit: OK, here it is ...
belfastraven said:
There is still a "bug" I believe, in that when the cm/ln rom is first installed on a device with a clean data partition (after a wipe or factory reset), even though developer options will say you have root, you actually don't. Changing the root selection to something else and then changing it back causes the necessary system file to be created. As long as you don't wipe data, you will not have to do this again on dirty flashes. What is new in the last few months is that, accessible through developer options, there is a rudimentary root manager available in the rom, where you can determine how root requests from various applications should be handled and see which apps have requested root access.

[RECOVERY][TREBLE] TWRP 3.2.3-0L v1.3 Labs Mod for the ZTE Axon 7

- T W R P 3.2.3-0L [Labs Mod] -
The Swiss Army Knife TWRP Mod for the Axon 7​
INTRODUCTION
This was a long term project that I have been using for a long time. I created some scripts to make it easier and faster to flash new roms and quickly restore the daily driver configuration after a testing session. For easier access I modified the TWRP interface to add direct access to the scripts. They had many problems but they were good to me since I created them and I knew how to used them well, but they were not ready for other users.
But the time has come and I have cleaned up most of the annoyances in the tools and in the UI. I have named it "Labs Mod" since it allows me to have my flashing lab on the go, making it extremely easy to switch to different configurations, or recover the daily driver configuration in a few minutes. I believe it is free of major bugs and now I can concentrate on adding new scripts, and more options to the current scripts.
FEATURES
On top of the latest improvements introduced in the official TWRP 3.2.3-0, this mod offers the following added features:
Full vendor partition support (mount, format, wipe, partition image flash, TWRP backup and restore).
Integrated Bootstack backup and restore.
Modem firmware image flash
Reboot to EDL
Button to enable device mapper verity (DM-Verity) enforcing
Button to disable the eMMC write protection (disemmcwp)
Backup/Restore internal storage to the TWRP Backup folder in the external SD. Ensure you have enough free space, free space check is not yet implemented.
EDL backup zip creation. Dual zip use since the resulting zip can be installed using TWRP from the phone or using MiFlash from the computer. It offers the following package creation options:
OS: Operating system (boot, vendor and system).
GPT: Partition table only.
CONFIG: Device config data (IMEI, SN, MAC, etc).
BOOTSTACK: Boot firmware without modem.
MINIMAL: Includes GPT+bootstack+modem+recovery.
EMERGENCY: Minimal + device config.
FULL: Minimal + OS.
FACTORY: Includes Full + config.​
Integrated Treble PARTY tool for creating and removing the vendor partition. Vendor partition is required for Treble ROMs. Removal is required for flashing old non-treble roms.
Lockscreen security removal. Removes password, pattern, fingerprint, etc... (in case you forget your password or the security descriptor gets corrupted).
Google account binding removal (in case you want to wipe from within recovery and test with different google accounts).
Bootloader unlock message removal.
New! Expand OS partitions (Vendor and System) to fit the whole partition. Useful for expanding the GSI filesystem for having space for adding GApps or moving apps to system.
New! Deep Wipe function performs a low level wipe of the partition data, erasing the remaining the portions of the eMMC that stored the partition information.
REQUIREMENTS
You need an unlocked Axon 7
INSTALLATION
WARNING, THIS SOFTWARE COULD WIPE ALL THE DATA IN YOUR DEVICE, INCLUDING THE INTERNAL STORAGE.
IT REQUIRES TWRP CUSTOM RECOVERY IN AN UNLOCKED DEVICE, OTHERWISE YOUR DEVICE COULD BE BRICKED.
!!! Whatever you do, it is at your own risk !!!​
Follow these steps:
1. Download the TWRP Labs Mod image to your External SD card.
2. Boot to TWRP and select the Install option in the main manu.
3. Tap on the install image button and select your external SD. select the image file you downloaded, select the recovery partition and confirm.
4. Reboot to recovery again to ensure the changes are applied properly.
DOWNLOAD
TWRP_3.2.3-0L_v1.3-Axon7-Labs_Mod.img Flavor of the mod using the official TWRP 3.2.3-0 Kernel binary (Quick boot even when using F2FS, full ADB support, NO B12 Oreo encryption). Use this if you do not plan on using device encryption. Please note that you won't be able to use any tool of this version if your device is encrypted.
TWRP_3.2.3-0L_v1.3.B12-Axon7-Labs_Mod.img Device encryption enabled flavor of the Labs mod. It use the 3.2.1-8 TWRP Kernel binary (Long boot when using F2FS, NO ADB support, B12 Oreo encryption). Use this one if you use device encryption. Please note that this flavor doesn't support adb interface.
NOTES
1. I do not have the time and expertise to dig into kernel hack so this is why I do not provide a unified kernel with fast F2FS boot, ADB and B12 encryption. Probably people developing kernels could help on this issue. It would be nice having a kernel with proper F2FS boot support, B12 encryption and ADB interface. Until then, there is no other way than having 2 flavors depending on the features we require.
SOURCES
C'mon, all of them are scripts!!! the sources are at glance. Use them in your projects but don't forget to give credit to the source !!!
CREDITS
@NFound for the recovery kernel binary supporting Oreo B12 encryption.
@someone755 for the keycheck binary I use in my scripts.
@Chainfire for the TWRP install script hacks.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating and learning throughout the enlightenment journey.

Nice.
Any info on the scripts that are included?

Well, all of them are Bourne shell scripts. Some of them are stupidly simple such as those in the Reboot menu, and others in the Advanced > Oki Labs menu are very elaborated, specially:
- PARTY tool: for creating and removing the vendor partition. I released it a few days ago as a separated tool that could well work in other devices.
- EDL backup: for creating EDL flashable backups of a configuration. This tool will probably require a full thread due to the concepts involved. The big feature is that the generated zip can be also flashed using any TWRP.
- Internal Storage Backup/Restore: TWRP doesn't offer a straightforward solution for backing up the internal storage, since it is excluded from the data backup, now it is possible to create a backup and restore the contents of the internal SD in case you want to mess up with the userdata partition. Now this script creates a set of files under the TWRP/backup folder. I am planning to add the possibility of having different backup folders, the same way the GUI treats the data partition.

That is looking very sweet!!!
I'm excited, nice work man!

This is just fantastic!

Well, the non b12 version can't decrypt my device, running los 15.1
also, the lab options did nothing, and when I pressed on PARTY the recovery froze on me.
Hmm.

Well, that's why in the OP I provide 2 flavors of the mod. If you require decrypt then you have to use the B12. PARTY will not work either if your device is encrypted and you are using the 3.2.3-0L. In your case, using device encryption, you have to use the 3.2.3-0L(B12). You will have all the functions except for ADB. PARTY will work fine too.

Sheesh...i have no external sd card

I have garde flashed your TWRP_3.2.3-0L (B12) -Axon7-Labs_Mod.img but this version says when starting in twrp that my password is wrong. the version 3.2.1.8 of nfound unlocks my password quite normal

Excellent Job! I can't wait to get back my Axon 7 from RMA Services. I'm just going to need sometime to get this running coming from stock MIflavor.

Found bug. Installed the ADB version (thanks Cthulu!), wanted to check the functionality.
Went into the Storage Backup and my phone froze. Rebooting from ADB worked.
EDIT: tried to reproduce the issue - same thing happened 2nd time.
EDIT2: It freezes at any option in Oki Labs

I can't duplicate the issue. Are you sure you downloaded it properly? Do you have an SD card? The backup requires an SD card with enough space. Checking for free space is in the todo list for this weekend.

What option are you testing? the Storage Backup? What format are you using in your SDCard? Does it happen at the beginning or after a while? Is there any file under TWRP/BACKUPS/STORAGE in your Micro SD after the failure?

@Oki this is amazing. Thank you.
Is it possible to use the recently released kernel sources from los15 to solve the issue of needing two revisions?
