I gave @Cpasjuste and @ggow an earlier access to my tool, because I could't write my guide as fast as thought.

Ah.

I wrote the recovery on my apollo device which is running 14.3.2.3.2_user_323001720 version and it appears to work flawlessly. I booted into recovery (TWRP) successfully and rebooted the system successfully as well. Awesome!

Thanks for the feedback, glad it's all working
I haven't got a device at the moment to try it out on.

Thanks ggow. Could we expect CM roms soon from your new release?

Working on 14.3.1.0
I just want to confirm, on 14.3.1.0_user_310078820 everything so far is working correctly, I can enter into TWRP, reboot system aswell, successfully tested backup and restore (from Safestrap created backups)
Thanks.

Hello tuanda82,
It depends on Amazon, my unlocked Apollo stopped working so they sent me a new one but came pre-installed with 4.5.2.
They have refused to downgrade me back to the old firmware. And after a lot of to and fro they agreed to replace it again .
I hope I have luck with the new device been on the required firmware.
But yes I definitely would like to make such a release.

I would not be trying interchang eROMs and or backups ppluntil certain things are verified by our developersgosh it only takes a few minutes to understand that one is built for locked bootloader the other one bypasses and they both flash completely different partitions and have different installation scripts.you're just asking to be one of the ignorant whiners on the sidelines while we have fun ..stuck with your brick. be patient guys this is all new stuff if you can't afford to be a developer then I devise you let somebody else take the risk

Can you tell me where TWRP Recovery is stored and what the boot process is like? Is TWRP called by the boot loader instead of the Linux kernel and it will in turn then start the Linux kernel from your installed system?
What happens when TWRP Recovery is damaged? Is there still a way to recover?
And is there a difference in how TWRP is started as opposed to Safestrap?
Edit: ok, so I see that TWRP Recovery is flashed to the recovery partition, so I guess it's separate from the boot image. And pressing volume up + the power button presumably activates the recovery image rather than the boot image. Did Safestrap work in the fashion I described? Why are we using TWRP for recovery now instead of Safestrap? Are there any advantages?

New recovery system
- Allows for custom kernels (meaning, CyanogenMod, Overclocking, and other things)
- Installed to "recovery" partition
- Bypasses signature verification check with some weird thing about exponents of 3 and the cubed root of something. I don't entirely understand how the exploit works.
- Called from the bootloader
- If you're in a bootloop, hold VOL+ & POWER (I think) to boot into TWRP.
SafeStrap
- No custom kernels (no CM)
- Installed to "system" partition (no key presses can get you to here if you're in a bootloop)
- Designed to provide semi-custom ROMs on devices with locked bootloaders
- Called from the Kernel

Flash the rollback image to stock slot. This will then enable you to get back to 3.1.0

I was able to roll back to 3.1.0 and installed twrp. I was able to make a backup and successfully restored the backup. However after about an hour I came back to my kindle an noticed it updated itself to 4.1.1. I was under the impression with recovery installed any new updates would . Not be able to install. Now when I try to boot into recovery it on l y boots kindle recovery not twrp.

The main problem for cm on appolo seems to be the kernel/bootloader. To run CM kernel (or amazon > 3.2.4) we need (or at least its the only way I found) to modifiy the boot image to manually happen the DT information's to the kernel zImage. Unfortunately this was tested with @ggow and it's not working on appolo. If someone if willing to send me an appolo device I could work on that ...

Man, I wish I had more time for XDA. First time I've checked in in months. At any rate, it is awesome to see y'all learning & sticking with it! Since I haven't had much time for anything that isn't work related lately, I passed my rooted 3.2.6 Apollo to my Mom. I don't know if she uses it much, but I'll ask her & unless she did a complete 180 & is now becoming a tablet-phile, I could probably send you mine. I will ask her if I can have it back tonight & let you know.

Amazon are sending me a new Apollo device (again)... hopefully I'll be back in business soon. I think there was something wrong with my device which is why I was having so many problems.
When I get the new device, hopefully it will be on the required firmware for me to try out the new kernel and CM. I'll report back when I have something... Shouldn't take me too long to get something up and running once I have a working device.

2. Will I still be able to recieve the official OTA updates in the near future?
Yes, as long as you've never rooted, changed recovery, or any other modification on your system.
In case you have rooted your device, all you have to do is reflash the ROM when a new ota arrives and you'll be fine
3. Do I need to Wipe my Data and cache partitions before attempting to install the ROM?
No, but it is recommended especially if you are having too many apps FCs
If you are having apps FCs, try clearing the app data of the affected app, or try hard reset.
If all else fail, do a clean install.
4. Got stuck with "Patching system image unconditionally"?
It might be a bad download
Always verify the hash prior to proceeding (check the howto verify the MD5sum below)

Although we had different Lollipop rom build no., our device and roms are basically the same. Since Android M arrived we all share the same build numbers. How did I know this? By verifying the MRA58Y ota and comparing all the hashes including the radio-modem.img I found out we all share the same Android M stock rom. And lastly, the MRA58M ota will not touch any other partition other than the system, boot and modem, so basically, all you need is the system.img, boot.img and radio.modem.img to be able to update to Android M. The rest of the partitions are useless when it comes to updates

@1cefire
Can your TWRP files found here
androidfilehost dot com/?w=files&flid=43419
be used to root Marshmallow?
if yes, which one to use? (i.e. blue, classic, darkplay)
thanks.

@kiksilog
Any recovery will do as long as it runs on this device. Unfortunately, Marshmallow requires a permissive kernel, so far no one has manage to build an insecure kernel for seed without any issue. Even the latest beta supersu with a modded sepolicy boot.img failed to boot. Android M for seed is unrootable for now, hopefully supersu will get an update to support our latest OS

Oi

Android Marshmallow 6.0.1!!!
In case someone might consider upgrading to Android M 6.0.1 MMB29K
- install it via custom recovery philz / twrp / fastboot (visit the first page for more info)
- the rom contains system.img and boot.img only (the only partitions required to upgrade)
- the rest of the partitions were removed and will be provided separately for each device
Huge thanks to @dabotsonline for the link

How about posting the download url of the OTA update 6.0.1 file which I understand is only less than 90 mb? Thanks.. :fingers-crossed:

great recovery
works so far. tnx for building this dude

sweet, I flashed the *.img with flashify, and updated to latest cm13 via cyandelta, including xposed and a custom kernel. I even have the external sd formatted as an internal one in marshmallow, and twrp updated without any hicups. (with the old twrp this did not work, because it could not read the encrypted sd card). i am so happy, this is just awesome!

This version has encripted system support?

Was going to try to build today but you guys are work quick

holy crap that was real quick :0 gonna test it right now!

Went via Flashify route; A-OK and no issues thus far. Had a little play around but haven't flashed anything yet.
Nice work!

Mismatched partition size (recovery)
Hey,
I would love to flash CM on my wifes xt1039.
Do do so I'm trying to flash a recovery image, so far without success.
I did a reboot into bootloader:
adb reboot bootloader
after that I tried to flash different recovery images including yours:
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
I always get:
Mismatched partition size (recovery)
Any ideas?
Thanks
UPDATE: image was flashed , so everthing is okay.. I didn't try a boot to recovery..

Just installed the latest CM13 nightly, Open GApps and XPosed Framework with this recovery. Thanks a lot!

Work amazing and perfect. I felt it slower tough to flash and backup.. but it may be my SDCARD that is getting old (who knows).
I have a question, on the prev version, i could backup the radio only, is it possible to do it on this. I only found Data, Cache, System and Boot to backup.

Beautiful!
Very nice! THANK YOU for this.
I just made my first nandroid backup to "internal" slotted SD card which was formatted as an extension to "regular" internal storage. (Man, I feel badly for new Android users coming to terms with slotted SD cards. What a pain!) It was much faster than using the USB OTG storage, which is what I had previously been doing.
While tweaking the name of my backup, I noticed some keyboard editing flakiness. Nothing I couldn't handle.
Again, thanks for doing this!
BTW, it took me an hour to install this via adb interface. I was bound and determined not to use Flashify. (Nothing wrong with Flashify, I just wanted to use ADB ). I got a "waiting for device" message. Finally resolved that by installing the Windows driver package from Motorola's web site.
Windows 10 laptop issuing ADB commands to XT1045 in bootloader mode.

Hi and thanks for the hard work
Just flashed and i've made a little tour.
Effectively, some little lags but nothing enough relevant to talk about.
Very nice translation and presentation.
Seems to be efficient.
Noticed too, much less choices when saving...is this because just a beginning ?

got cmd: getvarartition-type:recovery error when trying to flash via cmd
But flashify worked, so theres that

Working in XT1040 CM13
Thanks!!!

Has anyone tried to restore an old backup made with the old 2.8.7 recovery with this 3.0.0 version? In my case, it gets stucked while restoring data, I flashed the old recovery and it is working fine. Now that my daily driver boots I'll try to flash 3.0.0 again and take a backup directly from there.

Installing nougat on Z3 compact

Team FXP Uploaded Aosp 7.0 builds for some devices a few days ago. Aries(z3c) being one of them. I`m not really sure how to install this. Flashing through TWRP seems impossible because of no updater binary. Have worked with fastboot in the past but I really don`t want to brick my phone. Is there anyone who does know how to do this, and is willing to help me with it by writing basic instructions?
Thanks to anyone who is willing to help me.

Make a backup first!!!!
Use flashtool!
1.open bootloader!!!!
2.go flashmode fastboot!!!!
3.flash kernel kernel.img=boot.img?
4.flash system system.img takes2minutes
5.flash system userdata.img takes 1minute
Now u can flash recovery ! I use minimal adb
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Rom runs very good,but no cam!!!! Power off bugs use
Powerbutton + vol up 15 sec,then wait 2sec,then push power button( if phone not start!)

Is the procedure traced out above ultimately going to provide the path to having some form of Android Nougat for the Xperia Z3 compact? It looks as if this effort is in very early stages. What's the outlook?
A related question: is this likely to be the *only* path to getting Android Nougat for the Xperia Z3 compact?
Thanks.

Yeah, I gathered that was the case, which is why I was a bit hopeful to read that there may be an outside possibility that someone out there will manage to come up with a Nougat-based ROM for the z3c at some point. Until a few days ago I had thought there were hardware barriers, but now it sounds as if that may not be true. I've frequently been amazed at what people around here can come up with.

[Unofficial][Recovery][X505X] TWRP for Lenovo Tab M10 - X505X

Code:
**Disclaimer
*I am not be responsible for any bricked devices, data loss or thermonuclear wars.
*You are using this at your own risk.
Introduction
Welcome to TWRP for Lenovo Tab M10 X505X. Make sure you read the entire post carefully before you proceed with installation.
Pre-installation
Install ADB and Fastboot. Refer to this link if you need help installing ADB and Fastboot.
Unlock the bootloader. Refer to this link if you need help unlocking the bootloader.
Installation
Flash the TWRP image from bootloader.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Warning:
Do not reboot the system yet. Remove the connection from the device. Hold the power button until it turns off. Then turn it on again with the recovery combo: Power button + Volume Up + Volume Down.
Once booted into the TWRP recovery mode, if you want to flash it permanently(otherwise it will be replaced with stock recovery after a reboot), install Magisk from recovery.
You can goto advanced option in TWRP and use the "ADB Sideload" option to sideload the Magisk zip file. In case sideload doesnt work, use adb to push the Magisk zip file to /tmp and then install the zip normally.
Warning:
Do not push the zip file to /data. The data partition is encrypted and any damage done messing with the data partition will not be my responsibility. You have been warned.
Downloads
TWRP image for X505X
Magisk
Known Issues
From android 9.0 onwards, the data partition is force encrypted and is not available to the TWRP. This is not much of an issue because update zips and ROM flashes usually dont use the data partition. So the data partition is encrypted.
Changelog
Code:
This is the first version
Upcoming Features
Support for decryption of data partition permanently/temporarily.
Upcoming Project
A custom rom for this device if I get enough support.
Donations
I have spent a lot of time on this project. Consider buying me a coffee or donating. It will be great support.
Google Pay
Feel free to ask me if you encounter any problems.
Device Tree
For those who are curious. This is the device tree I ported for X505X.

Unfortunately you cannot flash it without pc. Or if you can access fastboot using your mobile and termux you might be able to flash, though I cannot guarantee it.

Pls update twrp to latest verison 3.5

I'm still working out the device tree for the rom. Will update as soon as possible.

Forgive me for wondering, but I'm looking at buying a tablet, and I wonder a few things, first of which would be, what is everyone's experiences with this tablet??? The next thing I wonder is if you only plan on doing a single rom??? Say for instance, you started out with a CM rom, then did my personal favorite, ressurrection remix... Or maybe do remix first
Either way, I love android, but am missing ressurrection remix since back when I had a phone that supported it... The ressurrection remix rom has so many options it could take a 30$ device and make it feel like a 300$ device, but that's also a problem, because with lots of extra features and settings comes the greater possibility of bugs

RR is available on Project Treble as a GSI. You could try that.

So, I flashed recovery, tried rebooting by holding down power button and the volume buttons and now it's stuck in an infinite boot loop. Screen shows lenovo logo, and then it goes blank, vibrates, and then restarts to lenovo logo again. Holding down the power button won't even shut it off. Please help.

TWRP flashed successfully but sadly the data partition didn't work.
so to make it work, I first formatted the data partition and through the adb sideload I flashed disable-dm-verity (attached) and it now works, data-partition is not encrypted anymore.
I also compiled an orange fox recovery for it and the data partition is also working on it.
