ZipInstaller 5.0.3
A fast and easy way to install ZIPs
This app was posted in XDA portal
Review at AndroidDissected
Overview
ZipInstaller is a tool that makes it easier and faster to pick up and install zip files through your recovery. Instead of manually rebooting into the recovery and selecting files from there, you can pick up all the zips you want with your favorite file manager from the sdcard and install them with just one click, that's it.
TWRP, 4EXT and CWM-based recoveries are fully supported.
Closed source CWM is only supported through RomManager premium.
Features
- Install as much zips you want in a row
- Add zips directly from a file manager
- Add zips through folder rules
- Click on the zips added to see its properties, remove it from the list or mark it to delete after flashing.
- You can define the recovery and the sdcard mount point name in the menu.
- If you add a zip that was already added, it goes down to the last position.
- Reorder the list using drag and drop.
- Use the app to download zips, they're added to the install list
- Backup, restore and delete backup.
- Check MD5 sum (manually or automatically through *.md5sum)
- Application automatic updates
- Sync backups in the cloud (dropbox and drive)
- Get notifications of updates of your rom if they are on goo.im or ota-update-center
- Download the new version of your rom and add it to the list automatically
- Navigate Goo.im
- ONandroid backup (backups without rebooting) thanks to Ameer Dawood
- Flash boot and recovery images if available

Q&A and troubleshooting
Q&A and troubleshooting
I have ClockworkMod (official Koush's one) recovery and it's giving me this error: "Error processing ROM Manager script"
You've got to select CWM-official in settings and have RomManager premium installed.
The recovery throws this error: "Can't mount /emmc/..."
Change the internal sd card path to sdcard in menu -> SD card.
I hit the "Install now" button but nothing happens
Install the app as a system app. Should work now.
good to see this type of thing when you don't want to use rom manager

Well, chas, you don't have a "CWM-based Recovery", you have a "ClockworkMod Recovery". The ClockworkMod Recoveries prevent from using the extendedcommand scripts.
Nothing i can do... you can update your recovery or talk to the rom developer (if he builds from source) to change one of these two pieces of code of android_bootable_recovery
in Android.mk
Code:
ifdef I_AM_KOUSH
RECOVERY_NAME := ClockworkMod Recovery
LOCAL_CFLAGS += -DI_AM_KOUSH
else
RECOVERY_NAME := CWM-based Recovery
endif
or in edifyscripting.c
Code:
#ifdef I_AM_KOUSH
if (0 != (ret = before_run_script(tmp))) {
ui_print("Error processing ROM Manager script. Please verify that you are performing the backup, restore, or ROM installation from ROM Manager v4.4.0.0 or higher.\n");
return ret;

Thanks for clarifying that for me. Would it work on TWRP, perhaps? These are the only two recoveries available for N7 AFAIK.

TWRP has it's own scripting language called OpenRecoveryScript, interesting, do you know if TWRP supports the n7000? if so, i'll install it and make some test.

I remeber Note AOKP had TWRP at some point, but they abandoned it for some reason or another.
Betatesters needed for version 2.2.
I have to test ZipInstaller in a TWRP recovery, so if you have a device with this recovery and wanna help me, please send me a PM or post it here.
Version 2.2 released
TWRP support not fully tested. If you test it, try switching the internal storage mount point name to "sdcard" or "data/media" (in menu -> internal storage). Min version of TWRP is 2.2
Uploaded to goo.im. Check when it's available.
the app didn't work on my Samsung captivate running android v4.0 and have cwm recovery v6
the app is a bit off of the screen
in the below link you can find the screenshot and last log of the recovery

one thing I noted in the last log is it took my internal memory as emmc

You are using a recovery called "Devil" that i don't know about. It seems to be using both extendedcommand and openrecoveryscript (althought the TWRP version is lower than 2.2 cause it can't handle the print command). The sdcard path seems correct, so is emmc, maybe the problem are the spaces in the zip name.
Also, if there are FCs, please provide a logcat.
indeed its devil kernel which have both cwm based recovery and twrp, am thinking about the sdcard marker, it could be the problem and also the space in the name could be
i can take logcat
but it would be good if you can give the command to log the events which are related only with your app, so that only useful events would be logged
After upgrading from MIUIv4 to v6, I've discovered that the new version comes with a bootloader that
reflashes the recovery partition each time it's run with the stock recovery, which makes it impossible to use a custom recovery in order to install unsigned .zip patches,
doesn't support download mode, which makes it impossible to connect the phone to a computer as a block device and repartition it.
Since resolving this wasn't completely trivial (to me) and required a bit of research, I took some notes for future reference. I later decided to publish these notes, since someone might find them useful. Keep in mind that, while I do have technical background, I'm not intimately acquainted with the inner workings of Android and there was some trial and error involved. As a result, certain steps may be too heavy-handed or even unnecessary and I encourage comments on that.
Prerequisites
The guide presumes one has the adb, fastboot and parted binaries installed on an OS that enables access to connected block devices via the filesystem. For most users, that means a linux box.
Download mode
Booting into download mode appears to be disabled in MIUI6 v5.8.6. You will therefore need to boot into a custom recovery (see Booting into a custom recovery mode) and flash an alternative ROM (it would likely suffice to flash only certain partitions?):
Code:
$ adb push cm-11-20150802-NIGHTLY-aries.zip /storage/sdcard0
To boot into the download mode with an alternative ROM, consult [3] or run adb reboot dload against the phone in the system or in the recovery mode.
Repartitioning the internal flash memory
In my experience, the default size of the /system partition is insufficient to accommodate all the system applications along with the ever-growing Google Apps. The original inspiration came from [4]. To adjust the partition sizes, I used the parted command-line tool, since it comes with full support for GPT partitions and labels. Gparted used, but (as of v0.19.0-2) appeared to be much slower compared to parted and didn't seem to fully support GPT partition labels. Keep in mind that, unlike gparted, parted applies the changes to the block device immediately. Proceed with caution.
Before starting, it's best to backup the current partition table for a reference:
Code:

Mind that /dev/sdc refers to the block device of my phone and will differ on your system depending on the amount of other block devices connected and the type of your system. It's also best to backup either the entire block device (/dev/sdc) or at last the specific partitions you are going to be messing with (/dev/sdcXY) – this is doubly important for partitions <= 22, the correct content of which may be difficult to retrieve when damaged. Labels (most likely) aren't important, the partition numbers are, so make sure you keep the order of the partitions when fiddling with them.
After finishing, reconnect the phone to make the kernel recognize the new partition structure and create the filesystem (mkfs.ext4) for any partitions you have created. The following example makes the system and system1 partitions 1GiB each and the userdata partition 4GiB at the expense of the storage partition:
Code:
# parted /dev/sdc
GNU Parted 3.2

And then, after reattaching the phone to the computer:
Code:
# for i in /dev/sdc2[34567]; do mkfs.ext4 $i; done
# sync
Recovery mode
For booting into recovery, consult [3].
Booting into a custom recovery
Use the process described at [2], with steps 7-8 interchanged with 9-10. I used the emms_appsboot.mbm and recovery-clockwork-6.0.5.0-aries-20140718.img files (see List of files) from the fastboot mode as follows:
Code:
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.5.0-aries-20140718.img
$ fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
$ fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.5.0-aries-20140718.img
If the phone gets stuck at booting during the last step, restart the phone and try again.
You should now be in the custom recovery. For me, this only lasted until a reboot. Then, the recovery was replaced with the stock one and it became impossible to boot into the system, effectively softbricking the phone. To fix this, flash the stock emmc_appsboot.mbm bootloader image extracted from the .zip of the MIUI ROM you are using and flash it from the fastboot mode:
Code:
$ fastboot flash aboot ./the/original/emmc_appsboot.mbn
$ fastboot continue
Fastboot mode
To boot into the fastboot mode, either:
Reboot the phone while holding the volume down button.
Run adb reboot bootloader against the phone in the system or in the recovery mode.

Hi, I updated partitioning tutorial to install Android 10: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-tutorial-howto-xiaomi-mi-2-2s-stock-to-android-10.4391775/
I recently upgraded a Galaxy S2 to Cyanogenmod 12.1 / android 5.1. I also wanted to use full disk encryption with the device and being able to access the internal memory via MTP instead of having a mass storage device. The removable sd card may be accessed via MTP, too, but will not be encrypted. Updating the recovery images to reflect the changes in the storage configuration (in case this is necessary) is not in scope, either.
Cyanogenmod by default only encrypts the /data partition. Newer models emulate the sdcard storage and save the data to /data/media, so everything gets encrypted. However, being an older phone there is still a separate sdcard-partition on the phone which is physically and directly mounted and which will not be touched by encryption.
In order to achieve the goal of full disk encryption two steps are necessary:
1. Change storage configuration to emulated media
2. Shrink old /sdcard partition and grow /data partition
= Change storage configuration to emulated media =
Emulating the sdcard in /data/media instead of physically mounting it directly requires changes to fstab.hardware (fstab.smdk4210), storage_list.xml and init.hardware.rc (init.smdk4210.rc). These files have to be changed in the Cyanogenmod source code and compiled to a new image. The configuration is based on the "Emulated primary, physical secondary" example given in h t t p s : / / source . android . com / devices / storage / config-example.html (cannot properly post URL due to new user restriction).
Here are the relevant changes in init.hardware.rc (init.smdk4210.rc):

Compile Cyanogenmod and flash your phone. It should boot, but the amount of available storage should be significantly lower as the sdcard is emulated on the /data partition which has not been grown, yet.
= Shrink old /sdcard partition and grow /data partition =
Use PIT Magic to resize the partitions to an appropriate size. For a stock i9100 having 16GB of internal memory my configuration was as follows (according to the backup .pit-file downloaded via heimdall):
Code:
DATAFS:
start: 1,392,640
block count: 4,194,304
end: 5,586,943
UMS:
start: 5,586,944
block count: 24,133,632
end: 29,720,575
Hidden:
start: 29,720,576
block count: 1,048,576
end: 30,769,151
I changed the partition layout to the following sizes:
Code:
DATAFS:
start: 1,392,640
block count: 28,295,167
end: 29,687,807
UMS:
start: 29,687,808
block count: 32,768
end: 29,720,575
Hidden:
start: 29,720,576
block count: 1,048,576
end: 30,769,151
Deleting the UMS or hidden partitions or shrinking the hidden led to Cyanogenmod not booting. Upload the new .pit-file using heimdall and boot the modified Cyanogenmod. Reboot to Cyanogenmod recovery and wipe data. Formatting again using the Cyanogenmod recovery was required as apparently only this recovery honours the "encryptable=footer,length=-16384" option for the /data partition in fstab.hardware which directs the formatting tools to leave 16 kiB of space at the end of the partition for in-place encryption.
Is there a way to achieve emulated SD, without changing source code and recompiling?
Like editing fstab and other config files?
I run CM13 at the moment and would like to achieve full encryption through emulated SD.
I was playing around with the idea that i would resize the sdcard partition to 8mb and resize the /data partition (~14gb), so that applications have a hefty space and i would use the external sdcard (sdcard1) for storing data and media files. Would that be possible to with an emulated sdcard ? I was hoping that with the introduction of Android 6.0 it would allow me to merge (LVM?) the /sdcard0 and /sdcard1 but instead it merges /data and /sdcard1.

I cannot prove that there is no way without having to recompile. However, I couldn't find storage_list.xml in the filesystem on my phone, so I assume that this file is only used during image compilation and therefore it's probably hard/impossible to achieve emulated SD without recompiling.
Maybe this configuration is easier to achieve using Cyanogenmod 13 / Android 6 as the storage_list.xml resource overlay has been removed.
PelzigesOhr, thank you sharing and documenting your experience so well, it has inspired me to try the same on Replicant 4.2 (distro based on CyanogenMod 10).
https:// github . com / GrimKriegor / replicant42-device_samsung_galaxys2-common / commit / 84c5a91a45b059a147921d0ea32367534904b314
However it seems the best way to create a partition table is using PitMagic, which seems to be proprietary software. Would you consider sharing your PIT file please?
Thank you for your time, all of this is greatly appreciated!
EDIT:
If you still have memory of the heimdall parameters used to flash this partition table, please do share as well.
EDIT2:
Managed to create a PIT file similar to yours, thanks for documenting it.
The following thread also includes a patch compatible with Replicant/Android 4.2.
Best of luck!

Thanks for the praise, I'm happy that the instructions are of use to someone else. Good to know that you managed everything yourself, I'll answer anyway: This forum doesn't seem to support attachments, so I haven't attached the .pit-file. Feeding the parameters I provided to PIT Magic should yield a good result, though. PIT Magic is indeed a proprietary Windows binary, but it runs fine using wine (at least that's the way I use it).
All the flashing has been done by loading clockworkmodrecovery (
Code:
heimdall flash --KERNEL clockworkmodrecovery.6050.i9100.touch.img
) and afterwards sideloading the compiled ROM.

Thanks for the reply sir.
Which partitions did you upload via Heimdall when you flashed the PIT file? I believe repartitioning could delete the contents of important partitions such as BOOT and MODEM, but I am unsure. Do you think maintaining their block boundaries would preserve the data in the respective partitions?

The exact command I used for repartitioning with Heimdall-1.3.1 was as follows:
Code:
heimdall flash --repartition --pit <filename>
Data should be preserved and if you don't mess with the boundaries of partitions other than DATAFS, UMS and HIDDEN you should be fine. Before repartitioning I backed up all partitions as a precautionary measure, but I didn't have to restore any of them.

Ah! This is excellent, thanks for clarifying this! Just one last question if I may, how did you backup the partitions? Did you use Heimdall to download their contents as image files, did you use DD or maybe even ADB?

Good guess, I used dd and adb. Get a shell on the phone with adb and dump the partitions to files using dd:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0pX of=/sdcard/mmcblk0pX.bin bs=512
And then copy the files to your computer using adb pull. You may want to get the mountpoints of the partitions (e.g. using mount) so that you can associate them easily.

I've done those stuff offline from your gist[emoji14]have seen this thread after that but maybe you like the way i showed the defines as it's setup the way you would do in your BoardConfig.mk.
Haven't done those flags i am not sure about myself, maybe @_that or @Dees_Troy can bring light to some of them.
Gesendet von meinem LG-H815 mit Tapatalk
This thread is a great idea.
Especially with the update to twrp 3.0 with new flags.
I've been lucky enough to be able to guess/puzzle out/grab from other device trees enough to build and use the recovery on my personal devices, but information like this is very helpful to have consolidated.
Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I just didn't have enough time to beautify it. Will gradually do so.
TW_CUSTOM_THEME := /path/to/theme/
this one is used to replace the stocktheme with a different one (like material-play)
the theme will be directly in ramdisk
TW_INCLUDE_INJECTTWRP := true — adds ability to inject TWRP into some Samsung boot images for Samsung devices that have recovery as a second ramdisk in the boot image
the second flag is quotes by dees_troy!
TW_NEW_ION_HEAP
this has sonething to do with 3.10 kernels and a different naming in /include/linux/ion.h ... like a switch between old heap_mask and new heap_id_mask
Sent from my Xperia T using XDA Free mobile app
Nice initiative with this thread, this has been oh say 2 years too long in the making haha.
TARGET_RECOVERY_FORCE_PIXEL_FORMAT
Not sure but I would imagine it overrides what TWRP detects nor do I see the difference between it and TARGET_RECOVERY_PIXEL_FORMAT. The only possible varible right now is RGB_565. BGRA_8888, RGBA_8888 and RGBX_8888 are not yet implemented.
TW_INPUT_BLACKLIST
Black list input devices that interfere with touch. For multiple input devices the delimiter is \x0a. You would basically build a special TWRP with TWRP_EVENT_LOGGING := true. Put it on the device and read the more verbose log to see what inputs you want to blacklist.
EDIT: Ah here is a copy of the wording I had in one of my xda posts about the subject and the commit link https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/commit/5742a40b87dfdc26df3bd9fe94197ae414ece546
Usage:
TW_INPUT_BLACKLIST := accelerometer
TW_INPUT_BLACKLIST := "accelerometer\x0agyroscope"
This can be used to fix touch input on devices where an input
device is breaking touch processing in TWRP.
We are using new line chars to separate multiple devices and in
the make file you specify the new line character with \x0a which
is the hex code in ASCII for a new line.
The new line character might be a bit of a pain to use as a
delimeter, but it is highly unlikely that an OEM will ever name
an input device with a new line character in the name.

On a side note is there a link somewhere to fixing graphics issues induced in 3.0? I see a lot of talk about it but nothing substantial.

Not really. Slanty graphics can be fixed with linelength, but as such there's nothing on that front. You might wanna slap a recovery.log onto Dees_Troy at #twrp on webchat.freenode.net though.
Every version has new flags introduced & also flags deprecated...
TARGET_USES_LOGD => Source
TW_SCREEN_BLANK_ON_BOOT ( Deprecated on android-6.0 => Source, on some legacy devices, TWRP will not boot without this flag)
Dees_Troy said:
There are other build flags which you can locate by scanning the Android.mk files in the recovery source. Most of the other build flags are not often used and thus I won't document them all here.

Download the script & extract it to your HOME or if you are 100% sure that you have already setup a fully working Build Environment on Ubuntu or any other linux distro then remark these lines.

BBQLinux => Menu => Administration => BBQLinux Python Switcher => Python 2
BBQLinux => Menu => Administration => BBQLinux Java Switcher => OpenJDK 7
Start the script with below command
Code:
sh twrp
Menu 1
You can use either OmniROM or Cyanogenmod repo to build TWRP
Choose either to use TWRP branch android-5.1 or android-6.0. Typically, for legacy devices with ICS or JB doesn't support TTF so if TWRP android-6.0 doesn't boot then you'll have to use android-5.1 branch.
You can either choose to use Full-Source or Part-Source. Compiled out recovery.img will have exactly the same size & files on ramdisk.
Yes, Part-Source is only using 41 of the projects to build a fully working TWRP. Syncing in progress. After syncing, you can refer to ~/AIO-TWRP-Compiler/sync.log for any error
Typically, when you have already downloaded the base repo, re-syncing it will only take a few seconds
Menu 2
Copy either your boot or recovery.img to ~/AIO-TWRP-Compiler folder
Key-in your vendor name
Key-in your device name
This step is extracting the ro.product.device & ro.product.model from your device directly which is typically require for identification when flashing update.zip from your vendor
Credits to RD osm0sis, the script will auto download osm0sis's unpackbootimg for mkbootimg arguments required for repacking recovery.img . . . :good:
mkbootimg arguments will be display & auto updated to the BoardConfig.mk
Part of the original mkvendor.sh script is adapted for the extraction of boot or recovery.img which also does the git initialization. If the ramdisk can be unpack then the recovery.fstab will be copied to the device tree folder, if not then it will create a basic MTK recovery.fstab, boot.mk & also BOARD_CUSTOM_BOOTIMG_MK. If you're not building for MTK then remove that line from BoardConfig.mk
You will need to add/ remove TWRP flags accordingly & manual edit on the TARGET_CPU_VARIANT either cortex-a7 or cortex-a9 for older MTK, refer to your device spec. Possible values are cortex-a5, cortex-a7, cortex-a8, cortex-a9, cortex-a15, krait, scorpion. Use generic for devices that do not have a CPU similar to any of the supported cpu variants
You will need to manual edit on the recovery.fstab to suit your device or TWRP-ify the extracted stock recovery.fstab
Menu 3
omni.dependencies is only a warning, will continue to build when you choose OmniROM repo
Make 4.1 is only a warning, will continue to build
Java 1.7 is only a warning, will continue to build
When you have build earlier, subsequent build will only take few minutes bcos of CCACHE... :good:
Menu 4
Updated Menu 4 support for Others. Or you can use Flashify or Rashr or above Others to install compiled recovery.img to your device, do check if they are compatible or it will brick your recovery or worse, whole device !
Key-in your device recovery partition path. Above is typical for LG
Done, test TWRP on your device to make sure it is working properly if not then add or remove flags accordingly & use Menu 3 to build again
Menu 5
Choose either Option 1 or 2, Option 2 is recommended & it won't take long if you are using Part-Source.
Menu 6
The script will auto open up a new browser for you to register a new account on github
Your device tree on github
AIO-TWRP-Compiler
bash script itself is self-explanatory. Thanks to the OP, he has offer to take over the maintenance of this script so hit your Thanks button to him... :good: If you found any error/ bug or have any new ideas/ features for this script then pm the OP or do a git pull request... :good:
Above is the detail explanation on the script GUI front-end, here i'll explained what the script actually does.
Menu 1
This menu will create a local_manifest.xml to remove unwanted projects based on your selection. When select Full-Source, it will also create local_manifest.xml to remove existing recovery & replace it with TWRP based on your selection.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remove-project name="android_bootable_recovery" />
<project path="bootable/recovery" name="omnirom/android_bootable_recovery" revision="[COLOR="Blue"]android-6.0[/COLOR]" />
</manifest>
Part-Source
It is normal that OmniROM & CM will consistently add new projects to their repo when they introduce new features or functions to it. The beauty of this Part-Source is that even when projects grows, this script will grep -v only the needed projects for building TWRP on any base repo.
This Part-Source is the extreme minimal for building TWRP therefore some of the additional projects are needed when you use particular TWRP flags. As of today ( March 2016 ), it will build a fully working TWRP with only 44 projects on both OmniROM 4.4 & CM 11 base repo. In the future, Teamwin may also add a new feature or function then you will also need to add additional projects to it too or OP will update it based on your feedback. Refer to compile.log for details.

This script has been tested & it works on any base repo from OmniROM android-4.4, 5.0, 5.1 & 6.0 & Cyanogenmod cm-11.0, cm-12.0, cm12.1 & cm13.0 using Full-Source or Part-Source but why use Full-Source to build TWRP when Part-Source works, most importantly, you are not building OmniROM or Cyanogenmod but TWRP.... Using android-4.4/ cm-11.0 base repo has its advantage, compiled TWRP size will be smaller & it can build all version.
If you use android-6.0/ cm-13.0 then obviously you can only build TWRP android-6.0 only, just edit the line 62, 63 for OmniROM or 72, 73 for CM accordingly. Building TWRP android-4.4 on cm-13.0 or on OmniROM android-6.0 will result in a build error ! Later base repo won't build TWRP older version !
Many newbies doesn't know that OmniROM/ CM repo are incremental updates & they create a separate cm11, cm12, cm12.1, cm13 each & sync individually to each of these folders.
Above syncing cm-13.0 & as you can see, it is also using source from cm-10.1, 10.2 & 11. Syncing all to the same ~/omni or ~/cm folder will do.
Sometimes on certain devices, OmniROM android-4.4 or Cyanogenmod cm-11.0 base repo just won't boot then you can try by editing this line to android-5.0 or cm-12.0 & updating it will only take a very short time if you use Part-Source.
Menu 2
Device tree
This script will create a barebone minimal device tree for building TWRP. Anything less will result in a build error. It will create five files which is just sufficient to build a fully working TWRP using prebuilt kernel. It will build kernels too, just update the correct kernel config to BoardConfig.mk & remove the remark # needed projects for building kernels. However, i don't see the needs to build the same kernel with every TWRP new build, it will take a longer time to build, most importantly, you are not building a ROM.

device_(device-name).mk & cm.mk will be auto-created based on what you have key-in for the vendor & device name at Menu 2
For building recovery, you don't need to use full.mk, using it will result in need of extra projects on the Part-Source & it will also copy the extra fstab.goldfish & ueventd.goldfish.rc to the root of the ramdisk

My TWRP-ify recovery.fstab. Typically, for ext4 partition, you don't need to specify flags=display= & backup=1, it will be taken care of by TWRP, for more info regarding fstab flags then refer to Main Thread for *RECOVERY.FSTAB*... :good:
RD osm0sis's unpackbootimg is able to extract --second <2ndbootloader-filename> & also --second_offset <address>
The repack arguments will be auto-updated to the BoardConfig.mk Thanks to RD osm0sis. Some TWRP flags ref taken from here... :good:
osm0sis's unpackbootimg also support --dt <filename> :good:
Some devices require additional info for factory update.zip then add it accordingly to the device tree, typically is your device_(device-name).mk. Look at other device tree here & here & here for reference. On CM base repo, you can also use mkvendor.sh... :good: However, you will need to manually edit certain files as no DEV has been updating it, currently it will result in a build error even when using Full-Source !
Do take note that even an extra space on some of the lines at BoardConfig.mk will result in a build error !
Menu 3
Below are the commands to build TWRP, thats it !
Code:
cd ~/omni
[COLOR="blue"]OR[/COLOR]
cd ~/cm
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 25G
export USE_CCACHE=1
export LC_ALL=C
source build/envsetup.sh
lunch [COLOR="blue"]omni[/COLOR]_S939-eng [COLOR="blue"]<= S939 is the device name[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Blue"]OR[/COLOR]
lunch [COLOR="blue"]cm[/COLOR]_S939-eng
make -j4 recoveryimage
Menu 4
Below command generically will work on most Android devices. Updates : Has updated this menu to support this, just key-in /path-to-your-device-recovery-partition
Code:
adb push [COLOR="blue"]$OUT[/COLOR]/recovery.img /data/local/tmp
adb shell su -c "dd if=/data/local/tmp/recovery.img of=/[COLOR="blue"]path-to-your-device-recovery-partition[/COLOR]"
To use the $OUT path, you must first source it then lunch your device name, refer to previous Menu 3 for info.
Menu 5
Option 1 is make clean
Option 2 is wipe the whole repo base folder except the hidden .repo folder. As mention on the script GUI front-end, after that, use Menu 1 will have all the files extracted out.
Menu 6
This menu is using curl to create github repo.
It is for you to publish your device tree either for diagnostic & debugging when you ask for help. It is also for you to share a working build so that others can refer to it when they make a build of their own or git clone yours & build it themselves.
Preface & Credits
Many newbies make mistake by using other DEV's device tree which is normally meant for building ROMs, using it to build TWRP therefore will result in alot of build errors !
Above script can also be use to build TWRP for any Android devices that uses standard Android header, except for Menu 4 which is specifically for MTK devices only. Just edit the script to add support for your device... :good: Updated support for other devices
This project was actually started way back at 2013 & this is the main reason why TWRP doesn't build is bcos of the tedious, confusing & wrong Build Environment setup, it is all so different on so many different linux distros & OSes version, i went on to developed Easy Magic TWRP.... Now i use Intel device & this script did build a working TWRP for it too.... :laugh:
That's why i strongly recommends BBQLinux for beginners, Thanks to RD codeworkx, i can guarantee that any Build Error is not cause by wrong BE setup as its already built-in on BBQLinux... :good:
The other reason TWRP doesn't boot is bcos of wrong mkbootimg repack arguments, Thanks to RD osm0sis for his awesome unpackbootimg... :good:
Since many newbies are having problems with building TWRP & flooding the TWRP thread here

Which is actually meant for intermediate users, i've offered to share this script when OP decided to open up a new thread here for TWRP flags.... :good:
Credits Updates
Hacker432 for testing & feedbacks on this script, now it uses the ATC folder so that it'll support other languages other than English & TWRP will boot now when build on cm-12.1 base repo... :good:

My TWRP doesn't boot
Try unpack/ repack your stock 3e recovery.img with AIK, push it to your device & if it doesn't boot then obviously your device is not using standard Android header & so does this script will not build a bootable TWRP. Try google your device info on how they did it, Eg. Sony devices uses BOARD_CUSTOM_BOOTIMG_MK for repacking boot & recovery.img & update it accordingly to your BoardConfig.mk
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg
[COLOR="Blue"]OR[/COLOR]
adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > kmsg.txt

Extreme minimal, TWRP require this only one flag TW_THEME := to build or it will error out. You will also need other flags as well, refer to the OP. Some devices won't boot when certain TWRP flag is used or not used bcos its not compatible with your device kernel ! Most legacy device doesn't support TTF & TWRP won't boot so you have to build with TWRP android-5.1 with TW_DISABLE_TTF := true flag
Code:
[URL="https://github.com/TeamWin/android_device_kazam_thunder_q45/blob/cm-10.2/BoardConfig.mk#l49"]TW_NO_EXFAT := true[/URL] [COLOR="Red"]<= To disable exfat[/COLOR]
[URL="https://github.com/TeamWin/android_device_kazam_tornado_348/blob/android-4.4/BoardConfig.mk#l50"]TW_NO_EXFAT_FUSE := true[/URL] [COLOR="Red"]<= To disable exfat[/COLOR]
[URL="https://github.com/carliv/device_elephone_p6000/blob/cm-11.0/BoardConfig.mk#l110"]TW_USE_TOOLBOX := true[/URL] [COLOR="red"]<= Using this flag will use toolbox instead of busybox[/COLOR]
Above are some of the flags that can cause TWRP not to boot up. If you are using Part-Source then you need to add additional projects to support these flags as most of them are disabled on the script. Just remove the remarks # from the script for that particular projects. More detail info refer to above post #11 Part-Source.
Refer to the most bottom Bug Report on how to obtain recovery.log, without it nobody is able to help you.
Code:
[URL="https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/blob/android-6.0/minuitwrp/Android.mk#l122-l130"]TARGET_RECOVERY_PIXEL_FORMAT := ABGR_8888[/URL]
TARGET_RECOVERY_PIXEL_FORMAT := RGBX_8888
TARGET_RECOVERY_PIXEL_FORMAT := BGRA_8888
The other reason it doesn't boot is that it actually does boot up but the screen is blank ! Try adb shell & it should work on this scenario.
Try different pixel format one at a time, one of them should work.
Code:
[URL="https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/blob/android-6.0/minuitwrp/Android.mk#l114-l116"]TARGET_RECOVERY_FORCE_PIXEL_FORMAT := RGB_565[/URL]
[URL="https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/blob/android-6.0/minuitwrp/Android.mk#l79"]RECOVERY_GRAPHICS_FORCE_USE_LINELENGTH := true[/URL]
[URL="https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/13948/"]TW_DISABLE_DOUBLE_BUFFERING := true[/URL]
When not setting any pixel format, the default is RGB565 & it should work on most Android devices. You can also try the above when non of them works.
Code:
[URL="https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/blob/android-6.0/minuitwrp/Android.mk#L14-L19"]TW_BOARD_CUSTOM_GRAPHICS[/URL]
If your existing device tree uses this & all the above doesn't work then drop by at TWRP IRC channel to get further help.

Miscellaneous Tips
As mentioned many times, most of the time build error is bcos of wrong BE setup, use BBQLinux & you'll get over it. If you have already build on other distro then refer to here on how to use this script or migrate the source code .repo to BBQLinux.

TWRP has everything specified to standard Android path unless when it doesn't work then you'll need to find that out yourself. Do take note that some device doesn't support certain feature such as CPU temperature, battery level, mount USB storage & etc then refer to the OP for flags to disable it.
Code:
adb shell su -c "ls -R" > [COLOR="Blue"]myAndroid.txt[/COLOR]
Above command will list out everything on your device.
Code:
adb shell su -c cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity
[COLOR="blue"]88[/COLOR]
Eg. Say the battery capacity doesn't work then look for that path at myAndroid.txt for something that says battery/capacity & specify it at BoardConfig.mk
Code:
adb shell cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
[COLOR="Blue"]27516[/COLOR]
If CPU temperature doesn't work then look for thermal/temp
Code:
adb shell
su
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/i2c-gpio.24/i2c-24/24-002c/backlight/lcd-backlight/brightness
echo 255 > /sys/devices/platform/i2c-gpio.24/i2c-24/24-002c/backlight/lcd-backlight/brightness
If brightness doesn't work, look for lcd-backlight/brightness, Eg. above command should be able to change the level of brightness if that is the correct path as indicated at myAndroid.txt.
Sync corruption
git & repo is like a Super Intelligent Source Code Auto-Resume Downloader when working together . . . :good:
You can stop it at any time, restart it back & it will auto-resume. cm repo & source code is located at ~/cm/.repo, omni at ~/omni/.repo it is a hidden folder & to view hidden folder via File Manager, you need to press Ctrl + h
Sometimes you have corruption then repo sync wouldn't work & normally you just need to delete manifests, manifests.git, manifests.xml with a repo init & repo sync then you'll be back to normal.
If still this doesn't solve the problem then delete everything EXCEPT the folder project-objects & projects, both of this is the actual source code folder.
After this a repo init then repo sync & everything will be back to normal, i guarantee, done this many times, no worries . . . :laugh:
Sometimes when you have severe data corruption, above technique will not work then manually cd ~/cm or ~/omni then repo init then repo sync & see what repo & git has to say then follow the on-screen instructions to remove the corrupted projects.
Scroll back up & see what the error was, remove the corrupted project then repo sync. In this case is rm -rf ~/cm/.repo/projects/prebuilts/clang/linux-x86/host/3.5.git
Subsequent sync show above error. rm -rf ~/cm/.repo/project-objects/CyanogenMod/android_external_icu.git
rm -rf ~/cm/.repo/projects/external/jemalloc.git
rm -rf ~/cm/.repo/projects/system/extras/su.git
rm -rf ~/cm/.repo/projects/external/libcxx.git
rm -rf ~/cm/.repo/projects/external/libcxxabi.git
rm -rf ~/cm/.repo/projects/external/libunwind.git
rm -rf ~/cm/.repo/project-objects/CyanogenMod/android_external_busybox.git
And finally all corrupted projects has been removed, subsequent repo sync & all files will be auto-extracted out.
Corrupted .repo folder
i've make a back up of my .repo folder using tar.gz compression years ago & when extracting out, normally will end with data corruptions except if you use lrzip... :good: You will need to manually remove all the text files such as hooks, pre-auto-gc & commit-msg which is supposed to be a symlink files.
After you force overwrite extraction, a repo init & repo sync will end with above message.
You will need to manually delete all the hooks.txt file found at .repo folder
You will need to manually delete all the commit-msg.txt file
You will need to manually delete all the pre-auto-gc.txt file. You might need to repo sync --force-sync many times to overwrite all the corrupted projects & after that, you won't be getting any of these error messages again.
Syncing work tree error - Doesn't check out all files
This operation must be run in a work tree
Run the below command will give you hint
Code:
repo --trace sync -l
Above hints the corrupted projects so remove it => rm -rf /home/yuweng/cm/.repo/projects/frameworks/ex.git
repo sync still it doesn't extract out all the files so you need to run repo --trace sync -l again. Delete the hinted project => rm -rf /home/yuweng/cm/.repo/projects/frameworks/webview.git
When all error has been fixed, a repo sync & all the files will be extracted out correctly

TWRP FAQ
@yuweng the script has really been thought over for a long time and you also have put in tons of work in it. Thanks for it man!
Thanks bro... :highfive: The script initially includes BE setup for Ubuntu that includes setting up of Python, Java, Make, Git, build packages, adb rules & etc, now its half the size bcos we don't need to do all that on BBQLinux... It has went thru alot of revision, i lost track, one has PhilZ Touch on it, one revision will detect the device info such as graphics resolution, emmc or /data/media device & etc, you can actually do wonders with adb shell, automated alot of stuff for BoardConfig.mk, all in all, this script has about 4 years of work in it...

4 YEARS!!!! @Dees_Troy, @bigbiff, @_that this guy deserves a medal! And about the BE Setup, my good friend @thewisenerd had made an Android compiler which included a rather fancy dependencies check in a python program. I'll include it into AIO-TWRP-COMPILER as soon as I finish my school work for the week
Haha, they are all my Master Shifu's & they all have more experience than me on TWRP... :laugh: You are most welcome to add-in new features to it... :good:

Experience?? They're encyclopedias on TWRP. But it's worthless if every humbug on the planet wants to compile it and doesn't even know what "ls -R " is supposed to do You're being a great help to everyone. I'll try and get them to try this when I can make it compatible for people who have already downloaded the source
Actually its quite easy but then again any wrong BE setup will result in build error that's why i strongly recommends BBQLinux for starters, its as easy as Ubuntu to setup, i can guarantee many will like the UI, Thanks to RD codeworkx.... :good:

Updates - Migrating source code .repo to BBQLinux
So far my experience is that only lrzip is able to compress & extract source code .repo folder without data corruption... :good: Just open Ubuntu Nautilus File Manager & delete everything on your cm or omnirom except the hidden folder .repo
This hidden .repo folder is where the actual source code are, zipping it will be enough for migration, a repo init & repo sync will have all the files extracted out on BBQLinux ...
Code:
sudo apt-get install lrzip
cd /path-to-your-existing-[COLOR="Blue"]omnirom[/COLOR]-or-[COLOR="blue"]cm[/COLOR]-folder

AIO TWRP Compiler wiki
@yuweng, I have started writing down the wiki for this script at the Github repository. Would be grateful if you started writing the things you have mentioned here in that as well, and I'll proof-read it later on and also keep writing things myself
Here we go again
The new Android O developer preview is out, and when I try to boot the TWRP image via fastboot, I get a blank screen after the google logo.
I am absolutely not surprised google is keeping the devs busy all the time by changing little bits and pieces just enough to stop our stuff from working...
At least ADB is working, so I could get the log:
Code:

And this repeats. I see two things, if I'm right:
1. the ui fails to start because it doesn't find a DRM device
2. it fails to decrypt the data partition and stops there
I am not enough to solve these things, because I have no clue what is wrong. I'm calling all the devs (pointing to you @Dees_Troy ) to help us again and try to figure out what needs to be done so we can enjoy full freedom on our devices for which we spent a fortune for
I am willing to help, and try things to get this done, just let me know what I should try!
Thanks in advance!
I have ran into this issues since 7.1 lol but i can flash dev prev 2 and then without rebooting just fastboot boot twrp.img (RC1) and it works
I have the same issue where booting twrp RC1 just goes into a blank screen. anyone found a fix?

hmm... then my guess is that android does something with the encryption.
I flashed DP2, booted (automatic reboot after flash-all) and then tried to fastboot boot twrp.img and got the black screen.
I have already manually flashed twrp since, and can't boot it either. It gets stuck at the splash screen. just like it first did when it failed to decrypt the data patition (around january). Unfortunately this way there is no ADB so no way to see what happens...
I'll try to play around with it a bit, but I have no clue about decrypting the data partition. Don't even know where to start...
Ok well we learned with the first release that it was a bootloader issue so why not attempt to flash the bootloader from the first alpha, boot TWRP and see if SU can be installed? I know you can fastboot boot older bootloaders, I'm at work or I would give it a try

you mean like flash a 7.1 bootloader? hmm i may give that a shot
Okay. I really reached the end of the road, because I can't compile TWRP...
What i found is:
The decryption fails with these lines:
Code:
get_crypt_ftr_info crypto key location: 'footer'
Bad magic for real block device /dev/block/sda35
stack corruption detected
In TWRP source, this Bad magic error message comes from cryptfs.c:
Code:
if (crypt_ftr->magic != CRYPT_MNT_MAGIC) {
printf("Bad magic for real block device %s\n", fname);
goto errout;
}
CRYPT_MNT_MAGIC is a static value, defined in cryptfs.h:
Code:
#define CRYPT_MNT_MAGIC 0xD0B5B1C4
crypt_ftr->magic comes from reading some data from fname (which has the value: /dev/block/sda35):
Code:
if ( ([B]fd = open(fname, O_RDWR)[/B]) < 0) {
printf("Cannot open footer file %s for get\n", fname);
return -1;
}
/* Make sure it's 16 Kbytes in length */
fstat(fd, &statbuf);
if (S_ISREG(statbuf.st_mode) && (statbuf.st_size != 0x4000)) {
printf("footer file %s is not the expected size!\n", fname);
goto errout;
}
/* Seek to the start of the crypt footer */
if (lseek64(fd, starting_off, SEEK_SET) == -1) {
printf("Cannot seek to real block device footer\n");
goto errout;
}
if ( (cnt =[B]read(fd, crypt_ftr, sizeof(struct crypt_mnt_ftr)[/B])) != sizeof(struct crypt_mnt_ftr)) {
printf("Cannot read real block device footer\n");
goto errout;
}
So if we are lucky, we just have to modify the value of CRYPT_MNT_MAGIC. Some changes should be done, to print the value of crypt_ftr->magic, and then change that hardcoded CRYPT_MNT_MAGIC value to that. But as i said, I didn't manage to compile TWRP on my own (yet. since a few months )
I would appreciate the help of someone who did it already for the pixel.
OR someone who knows what the hell that magic number means.
OR someone who tells me that i'm completely wrong, and the problem is only with my device. Although I did clean flash (wiped the whole phone, with userdata and internal storage).
I'm not sure about flashing directly, I was more thinking about fastboot booting it then fastboot booting TWRP over that and then attempting to flash super SU, I'd that's even possible
also wondering what would happen if we flashed the 7.1.2 bootloader to the opposite partition aka ( system is slot A) then you would flash 7.1.2 bootloader to Slot B, and then possibly find away to Fastboot Boot TWRP to that slot but, be able to flash SU to System in Slot A. All just speculation of course im going on the work around that was found to gain root access on the first release of O
