TWRP Port for Haier W718 (MT6575)

I finally made it, yuweng!! :victory:

Thanks so much to all of you guys for putting together the tools, sharing and... last but not least... creating these wonderful tutorials!! :good:

I have managed to port TWRP 2.4.2 to the Haier W718 (following your tutorial here, specifically the "Added on Mar 16, 2013 - Auto Root via TWRP V2.4.2.0 - V2" section).

I used the laptop running Windows XP as I was stuck with the Linux port version. Under Windows I also came across a couple of fails because my downloads are set up to go a different partition than C:

I actually used the original scatter file without any change and I open the original recovery.img with Michfood's "TWRP_v2.4.2.0" as per your tutorial. Made the appropriate selections and downloaded the new ported recovery to the phone with SP Flash Tool.

Here you will find the zip file with the scatter and the ported TWRP recovery.img files

And here are the before and after pictures of my Haier W718 recovery (I have already made my first full backup with the new recovery):
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hamzairshad:
umm correction im basically trying to flash the recovery. sorry for the mistake
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yuweng:
Haha, you are most welcome, my friend... :D

Were you able to mount both internal & external sdcard while at TWRP... :confused:

Learned it from the Russian forum for MT6575, you might have to change the recovery.fstab for /sdcard to /sdcard2 then TWRP can mount both sdcard...

Bro, there are tons of guides here at xda & also on the www... :o

Re: [TUTS] [TOOLS] CWMR/ TWRP/ COT Recovery for MT657x

Thanks

[Miscellaneous Android Development] 2x1:
Thanks, yuweng!

Actually... you are right. It seems that it does not mount the internal sdcard. When I click on the bottom center icon, I get details which goes like this:

Updating partition details...

E: Unable to mount /sdcard during GUI startup.

E: Unable to mount /sdcard when trying to read se (and here I cannot see the rest as it goes off the screen)

E: Mount: Unable to find partition for path '/sdc (and here I cannot see the rest as it goes off the screen)​

And then the last line is repeated several times, the end of the line is probably different, but since I cannot see the full line I cannot be 100% positive.

How do I change the recovery.fstab for sdcard? Could you please point me to the Russian forum, I will use Chrome translation.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yuweng:
Whoops, my bad...

Open 75emmc inside bin folder with Notepad++, change it back to just sdcard without the 2, save it, drag & drop recovery.img again & it'll work...

Hmm, this means sdcard2 only works on certain MT6575 only... :o

Hi Mr Yuweng,

could you give me some advice, i already porting TWRP to my a60plus, but can't mount sdcard to my computer and i have this error

I:Lun file '/sys/devices/platform/mt_usb/gadget/lun0/file' does not exist, USB storage mode disabled
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hamzairshad:
Bro, there are tons of guides

ive tried everything. im getting android partition size changed on version sp_flash_tool_v2.1134.00 and brom error on SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1252.1
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 2x1:
Thanks again, yuweng :good:

I actually flashed a new ROM (from a Chinese forum although my source was a pandawill forum post here).

It seems that with this ROM, there are no more "SD card 2" for the external SD card nor "SD card" to refer to the internal memory. In TWRP recovery now, if I touch "Install" and in the next screen with "Use internal storage" selected, I can see the folders from my external SD card (at /sdcard level) and those from the internal memory at "/" level.

Anyway, I have ported again the stock recovery to TWRP 2.4.2.0 after making the change you suggested in the 75emcc file and uploaded it again (here).

I also ported CWRP 6.0.2.8 if anyone is interested in this version. You can find it in the same place as TWRP port.

See you!

Re: [TUTS] [TOOLS] CWMR/ TWRP/ COT Recovery for MT657x

hi all. anyone here knows how to create a cwmr flashable zip that can revert back to the stock recovery? i know the logo.bin can be flashed like that with package_extract_file("logo.bin","/dev/logo"); in the edify script but how does it work with the recovery? can /dev/recovery work? anyone tried this? ty
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
That's correct, writing recovery.img into /dev/recovery will work. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sorbo:
Hey Guys,

I'm trying to fix an iPhone clone for a friend. It's actually a nice device, but the software is simply horrible. Google Apps are not installed, and crash when manually installed, so i'd wanted to try and fix it for him. Problem is, I don't have any model numbers, so I have no idea what i'm working on.

The specs (according to AnTuTu Tester):

Phone Mode: Iphone 5

Phone Brands: MZ

CPU: MT6575 (AnTuTu reports a 6577, MTKDroidTools says that's false info, and that there's a 6575 inside)

Internal RAM: 475MB

Internal ROM: 127MB

External SD: 14949MB (is built into the device like a real iphone, so it's not accesible)

Android OS: 4.2.1 (untrue, menu style is gingerbread-like)

Version: ALPS.GB2.MP.V2

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7 (s022@s02 #1) (Dec 1 14:51 2012)

Screen Resolution: 480x854

So this should be a normal MT6575 device, but all the tutorials i've found don't help much. Yuweng, your tutorial helped me a lot, until one of the last steps, in which your links for CWM ramdisk files are down.

I've tried everything, but cannot get CWM running on my device. If I provide my scatter file, stock recovery.img and other files if needed, could someone bake me a working version of CWM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mawe79:
is there a solution now for porting actual CWM-R to MTK6589?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I have already shared the ramdisk for CWM 6.0.2.8 which already belongs to CyanogenMod JB tree. There should be no problem porting it to MT6589 devices. If it doesn't work straight forward, try using the init binary found on the original recovery.img. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mawe79:
hey thx bruno...

for few days ago i sent you a pn, didn't you get it?

maybe you can llok at it again and answer here for all?

Would be very nice :)

But a tool isn't out so far, for porting cwm-r to MT6589 phones like the "michfood" one?

What will be the best way on a win based PC to use your ram disc?

In other words...how can i change manuelly the ramdisc?

I know there should be a solution with the Kitchen, but is there any other way?

Re: [TUTS] [TOOLS] CWMR/ TWRP/ COT Recovery for MT657x

hi all. is there a way to flash the ported cwm via stock recovery (3e)? if not possible, what is preventing us from doing so? ty
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
It was possible to do so, if someone had the factory keys to sign the .zip. Stock recovery only allows you to install signed .zip files. :cool:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nerbiyoso:
Re: [TUTS] [TOOLS] CWMR/ TWRP/ COT Recovery for MT657x

i see. so you cant just use any apk signing app to sign it. ok so if some update zip file already works with my stock recovery, can i just copy the cert files, etc inside that zip to the new one? is that the only way to obtain this factory keys?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
No, that is not possible. You can't simply take the certificates from a factory signed .zip and use it. A small change to the .zip implicates that it needs to be re-signed and the factory keys are not available.

That's why CWM-based recoveries are used, mainly to overcome that issue. Apart from new features, of course.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cmoegele:

Hi guys

I need a little help :fingers-crossed:

I want to know what the right block for flashing the updated TWRP recovery.img

with updater-script :confused:

package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p18");

18 is wrong... just an example ^^ Can somone tell me?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
It's simpler than that:

assert(package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/tmp/recovery.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/recovery.img", "/dev/recovery"),
delete("/tmp/recovery.img"));

Zhou Xing i9300 - TWRP 2.4.2 recovery port

And another successful port, yuweng!

Thanks again to all the guys for sharing!!

I just unbricked my Zhou Xing i9300, but the ribbon cable from the volume keys to the upper board is detached so I was particularly interested in the touch version of a recovery. So I ported TWRP 2.4.2, once again following your tutorial, specifically the "Added on Mar 16, 2013 - Auto Root via TWRP V2.4.2.0 - V2" section. The 2.4.4 version would not work under WindowsXP maybe it is because it is only 64 bits. Anyway, I am fine with the 2.4.2

I also used the original scatter file without any change and I opened the original recovery.img with Michfood's "TWRP_v2.4.2.0" as per your tutorial. I made the appropriate selections and I downloaded the new ported recovery to the phone with SP Flash Tool.

Here you will find the zip file with the scatter and the ported TWRP recovery.img files

And here is the after pictures of this new Zhou Xing i9300 recovery (I don't even know what the original recovery looked liked):

I have finally managed to port CWMR on my Star U920+ phone. The secret was to use a good recovery.img file.

However, some of my problems still persist: the front camera not working, the back camera being flipped upside down and video recording not working either. Please give me an advice on these, maybe by quoting a link to another forum. Thanks in advance! Or, maybe someone can send me an update.zip that can fix this problem through CWM.

Just found your ROM & you here & here... :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Verygromf:
Hello,

I am currently on SlimICS, but since the beginning I am really annoyed by the ICS recent apps menu (when long pressing the home button), which shows minatures of the recent apps.

The thing takes several seconds to pop up, and then you need to scroll up and down to find the app you want to fall back to ; usually it also lags quite a lot when doing that (different roms, same issue, don't think it's my phone).

Besides having miniatures being irrelevant in my opinion, switching to a different application became rather long with ICS, and I really miss the Froyo/GB way, with just the list of icons popping up instantly --all the icons showing up in the screen.

I am looking for a mod that could change that ICS recent app menu to the one used in earlier versions of Android. Does anyone know if that exists, or would know how to create it ?

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RuffBuster:
I'm using an app called "morerecent" from the market. Same recent view as gb. I've linked it to another app called "swipestarter" so I can launch it from a screen swipe.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Verygromf:
not a bad workaround, yes. However I had tested an AOKP rom few months ago, which I remember was offering different kinds of such list, including the Froyo/GB style. Maybe I can try to extract the relevant files from the rom and push them to my own.

I don't think that could work at all given my current knowledge though :)
