TWRP 2.8.7.0 custom recovery
thanx to user @Unjustified Dev we have TWRP custom recovery for our phone.
download HERE
So anyone who download the TWRP should send him a dollar for beer or at least thank him!
Of course you do everything on your own!
To test before installation (linux users need sudo before fastboot):
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1bbb boot twrp-2.8.7.0-idol3.img
To install (linux users need sudo before fastboot):
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1bbb flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-idol3.img
!BEFORE YOU START, PLEASE READ THIS!
And don´t forget to thank Famewolf for the tutorial, because this could save your phone when something go bad!
Thanks, tried it. It worked.
I also just installed SU directly, bypassing the previous root thread.
1. Download the .zip package from here: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
2. Put it on the root of my SD card.
3. In TWRP click install and find the .zip.
Wonderful. Just a question: is this recovery for Idol 3 4.7 (6039) or 5.5 (6045) ?

It's for 6045. For 4.7 TWRP, see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61976520&postcount=18
Thanks!
is it functional for backing up our system in TWRP?
@DallasCZ could you please provide the original link to TWRP. That was a bit unfair to upload it elsewhere as I tend to track the number of downloads.

Yes although to my knowledge noone has actually done a restore yet. He's fixing some minor bugs and will be releasing a new version at some point.

Convert TWRP Backup into flashable rom zip
I found these instructions that explain how to take a TWRP backup and turn it into a flashable zip file. This would allow someone to create a "factory" rom pre-rooted to be flashed.
For TWRP Backup
Transfer the TWRP backup from Phone to PC.
You’ll see a file named system.ext4.win which is the System partition backup of your device. Rename it to system.ext4.tar (Changing its extension from .win to .tar)
Extract the system.ext4.tar using an archive software like Winrar or 7zip.
If your TWRP backup is not in compression mode, you will directly get the system folder, else you will get a file named system.ext4, which should be renamed again to system.ext4.tar and extract it to get the system folder.
Take the boot.emmc.win file and rename it to boot.img.
Now collect a META-INF folder from any custom ROM which is made for your device. Make sure you get the correct Meta-Inf folder, else the Zip won’t work and might worsen the condition of your device.
Select the META-INF, System folders and the boot.img and right click your mouse and select add to Archive.
In the Archive settings, choose the extension of the compressed file as Zip (Make sure of this part)
Now you can use this Zip file to flash it on your Custom recovery.
we dont have the meta-inf folder...there is one in the update i got, but i dont know if this id the right one.
and we dont have custom rom to get meta-inf from.
also the main thing is, that i cannot unpack the system win file when renamed to .tar i dunno why (i got latest 7-zip app).

What they primarily want is the "update-binary" which is device specific. I don't remember if the update had one....I did take apart an update-supersu.zip and it uses a script as it's update binary...thought about trying to convert that. Theoretically you could take a meta-inf for another device's rom...and use it's meta-inf making sure to replace the update-binary. It also has an installer script that tells it to mount system and data....extract files from the zip and where to put them. I learned a bit when I was trying to make an update.zip to fix my build.prop.
It untar'd fine for me on my linux pc:

i allready build some roms for my older device, so i know what it is about.
For the proper rom zip you have to make the updater script with all the simlinks and metadata ...in the latest update there were no simlinks in the updater script...
without them you can brick your phone.
for example simlinks from 4.4.2 Os from zte V5
Code:
symlink("/data/misc/audio/mbhc.bin", "/system/etc/firmware/wcd9306/wcd9306_mbhc.bin");
symlink("/data/misc/audio/wcd9320_anc.bin", "/system/etc/firmware/wcd9306/wcd9306_anc.bin");
symlink("/persist/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini", "/system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini");
symlink("/persist/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin", "/system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin");
symlink("/system/lib/modules/pronto/pronto_wlan.ko", "/system/lib/modules/wlan.ko");
symlink("Roboto-Bold.ttf", "/system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf");
symlink("Roboto-Regular.ttf", "/system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf");
symlink("libGLESv2.so", "/system/lib/libGLESv3.so");
symlink("mksh", "/system/bin/sh");
this you cannot copy from another device....
Never mind. I installed the second build.
How do I boot into the custom recovery? Is it power up + power button on the Idol 3?

Reboot or power on till you see the alcatel screen pop up....right away hold down up arrow and it should go into recovery.
Thank you so much...been waiting for this....
so now let ROM's start pouring in )))))))
Hmm odd. I had to reflash it. For some reason it didn't take the first time I flashed the second build TWRP to my Idol 3.
What partitions should I backup using TWRP? I'd assume: Boot, System, and Data? Should I include System Image too?

The default of boot, system and data should be fine for personal use however if you have not yet rooted please read here first! http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/help/want-to-able-to-install-ota-updates-t3163745
So Awesome! best looking twrp Ive seen yet xD. Also, works well too. I havent tested backing up data, but I did a successful restore of the system and boot So far so good!
I tried to make rom working modem following Ev3rtH's result "AOSP Marshmallow 6.0 for Z1 Compact"
when i test in my z2, modem works (IMEI,SIM,Data,call...)
and the working and not working are same as Ev3rtH's posting
Working and Not working :
Working:
-Boots
-Screen
-Brightness
-Orientation sensor
-Ambient light sensor
-Wifi
-Bluetooth
-IMEI shows up, still have to test with SIM
Not working:
-Camera
-NFC
-GPS (haven´t tested yet)
-Internal SD doesn´t mount right - As pointed out by tgascoigne, if you´re playing around with the mount points and Android asks you to format it, DON´T. You will wipe the boot and system partitions.
It is not official build and unstable
Is there any problem in this post, please give a comment

I was thinking it was the same build from this topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/sonys-android-concept-marshmallow-t3229030
i think that is not, Sony's Android™ Concept is official test build but this is unofficial build
and there is no Concept build for Z2 as i know
Is there a way to flash imgs with multiROM? I mean install the ROM on the internal storage without screwing up my other two installations.
Well, I tried this build, but gapps doesn't work... btw root is working (Booted a custom kernel with TWRP, install SuperSU 2.52, then back to original Kernel)...
Can't test permissions per app
System UI Tuner is working.
another new function, when you login with your google account (at least this was possible with gapps), a new menu appear on your settings, called "Google" or something like that, it shows and let you configure in a simple way lots of settings from your google acccount, like, youtube historic, location, voice commands, etc
Could someone please mirror the download... the links are not working for me

i'm sorry for late, i make flashable zip also (using 'make otapakage' instead of just 'make')
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lbdm3vxiikqzp3n/aosp_d6503-ota-eng.choirakwon.zip?dl=0
maybe .zip version, it can be used in MultiRom.
after flashing 23.4.0.A.232 and AndroPlus ROM and testing this flashable .zip, i comfirm about that

Hi, I test it on cm13 and I unpack recovery.img for HTC desire 816, I think it work fine.
If the apk didn't work properly that's means the boot image doesn't not following Google's standard format so you'll need to find other tools to unpack and edit your image.

boots straight into hboot, which is what happens if I build a boot.img or recovery.img without dtbs.
I pointed to the anykernel2 link because I know its scripting handles dtbs.
the whole kernel device table thing is new to me, and so far only on this device, so I'm not very savvy with dtb work. been lucky enough that it was preconfigured in the build system for cm.

The scope of my tools is for Google's Android image standard as defined in the bootimg.h header from AOSP/CM. My tool forks have the widest support available for images which are standards compliant, supporting all commonly used ramdisk compression formats.
Supporting Sony's ELF, MTK's labeled and Samsung's headerless image formats along with the standard images (not to mention Samsung's and others' various deviations based on the standard header) and having the script/app differentiate between them would be a very large and difficult undertaking indeed. If that's your plan then I wish you the best of luck in your efforts.
hey, ran more tests.
no issues with the dtb or other functions either.
backup and flash functions working fine too.

Thank you for adding the appropriate credit back to your post. Patching, cross-compiling and scripting has taken significant work. :good:
The only other thing that I'd ask is that you do not use the name of Android Image Kitchen or AIK in the title of your app. I'd like to suggest maybe "Image Editor and Flasher" as a snappy alternative?

it's a useful project, definitely worth a little testing and feedback.
besides, i remember what a pain it was getting my xda account eligible for posting the project i was all gung-ho about sharing (optimus v boot from sd card if i remember correctly)
sharing is cool, but a lot of the feedback tends to be annoying when there's no logs or other usable information, just "it's broken" or "can you implement for me on device XYZ."

Please use a different name for your app as I have requested.
Android Boot Manager (ABM), my goal is to make the procedure (Backup, Unpack, Edit, Repack and Flashe boot.img or recovery.img) so easy and accessible to all users without resorting to the command prompt , only a single click to get a quick and successful outcome at the same time .
This is the third version of the program.
Source (GITHUB SOURCE https://github.com/aToxyD/android_boot_image_manager_apk).
WHAT'S NEW
- Some optimization.
- Add new Text Editor with high syntax.
THANKS
* xiaolu, original author of boot.img tool(GITHUB SOURCE https://github.com/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools).
* Modding.MyMind, for his heavily modification of boot.img tool.
* Tah Wei Hoon, for TextWarrior.
* Dmytro Tarianyk, for Android Floating Action Button.
* Anthony Restaino, for Grant.
IMPORTANT
- Root is only necessary for Unpacking boot patched by "superSu or Magisk" and Backup/Flash Operations, so if you want to unpack stock boot or you have your favorite flasher apk like "Rachr", if so you dont need to check "Root Access" in settings menu.
- Please uninstall any previous version of ABM before installing the newer.
I do not like people to coming here and take what they wanted and leave like a thief , at least leave a comment. . .
This work is for all, so help your self.

This is the second version of the program.
WHAT'S NEW
- Corrected some bugs related to compatibility with Android 6.
- Use xiaolu mkbootimg tools (GITHUB SOURCE https://github.com/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools)
TODO
- add support to x86, mips arch.
- add support to put files to unpacked folder.
- add support to combinedboot , in Xperia device recovery ramdisk is combined with system ramdisk.
IMPORTANT
- The apk need root access to work.
- Note that make change by adding files to unpacked folder with root explorer, the owner will be root and the apk will not work, if you do this you must change the owner to ABM apk.

Same thing after reinstall. I tried with twrp file again, and works fine, but with kernel file, error msg...
It seems that the image you want to unpack it is not an android image.

It's the AOSP kernel from the ROM I'm currently using.

Try to edit devices.xml in /sdcard/ABM directory and backup kernel using ABM app, after try to unpack boo.img backed up, you find it in /sdcard/ABM/backup directory.

Trying to alter a stock ROM and resign with my own custom key just for myself. This process will allow me to use a device with custom changes (NOT root), but still allow me to use Android Pay.
This process involves using the "make_ext4fs" tool. However, this tool (as far as I can tell) requires using the old plaintext version of "file_contexts". Android 7+ uses a new binary version of this file instead ("file_contexts.bin").
So if anyone can solve either of these questions, I would be very grateful:
1) Is there a tool to convert my device's binary "file_contexts.bin" to the old plaintext "file_contexts"? -OR-
2) Is there a build of "make_ext4fs" that accepts the new binary format "file_contexts.bin"? I tried to build the new nougat version myself from AOSP, but after a successful build of the tool, I can't get the thing to read files on either 64-bit or 32-bit systems. It yields an error "No such file or directory" when trying to point to file_contexts. I am not a great C developer, so I don't know if I built it wrong. For reference, no, I am not missing the lib32stdc++6 libraries. I have attached the binary if you want to see if you can get it to work. -OR-
3) If anyone has the file_contexts text file for the OnePlus 3, ROM version 7.X Nougat, that would work too!
Any help anyone can offer in any way would be fantastic! Thank you so much for your time to look at this!
A good question
1) yes, see my signature

I'm trying to do the same with a 7.1.1. rom. I convert the file_contexts.bin to file_contexts, unpack the rom, do the modifications to the rom, repack the rom then replace the original system.new.dat and system.transfer.list with the newly packed ones (original file_contexts.bin is still in the original zip) and when I go to flash it in TWRP it doesn't flash the system and I get a No OS installed Is there something I have to do to the file_contexts.bin after I repack the system.new.dat?
"file_contexts.bin" to the old plaintext "file_contexts" tool: http://blog.cofface.com/archives/2255.html

Try building with the pie (Position Independent Executable) flag. Had this exact same problem when trying to compile a CVE for android.
Hopefully this should work for you and sorry for the Necro post
