[Request] Custom recovery for E7 running lollipop

After updating my e700h to stock 5.1.1 i had rooted it successfully using KingRoot
Now I need to flash xposed framework zip file that needs a custom recovery
I tried TWRP for kitkat and it didnt work
I even tried a lolipop compatible CWM for E5 and it was very funny and useless
So can anyone compile any custom recovery for E7 running 5.1.1
Here's the img file of the stock recovery
mega.nz/#!ocoThQ7A
Thanks

You can flash it with the app Flashify or I have just uploaded the odin flashable zip . So that it can be flashed directly. I suggest to use the odin method.

it keeps rebooting into recovery

I installed the recovery using odin
whenever I want to restart my mob. it keeps rebooting to the recovery menu ??!!

what do i do?
this is my 2nd attempt
i reflashed my stock rom then flashed the cfroot and then the img file and i get recovery loop
which part did i do wrong? i did the reflashing of stock cuz i was expecting that it would go smoothly with freshly flashed stock rom

It looks like a bug. Meanwhile you can try to flash stock recov again and do it all over again. This time flash the twrp with odin and uncheck auto reboot and reboot it manually.
And avoid rebootinh to recovery from the system. Boot to recovery only through the hardware buttons. (3 button combo) volume up+home button+power button.
And the restart button is volume down+power long press it.

Sorry for replying here, I'm still below 10 posts so I cant reply to your original post
First: no words are enough to thank you for you effort. It's working and really amazing. Thanks a lot
But I noticed something: when I tried to flash a rom that I have just created, I got an error message "This rom is for e73g while this device is e5lte" I dont know whether this is a problem in my device or it's recovery related
BTW I'm trying to create a deodexed debloated stock rom
Thanks again

Thanks for thanking me??hashiesh.
This is not the problem of the device nor recovery. In the META-INF folder in the Rom zip there is a file names UPDATERSCRIPT. Open it in notepad++ or any other tool and remove the first 3 lines.
There should be something written assert. It checks the device name.
So remove it and you are good to go.
Attach or share the updaterscript here so that we can look at it.
After success you can share the ROM in here.

Thank you for your information, I found the 3 lines of "asserts" but i'm trying to set the assert to "e5lte" and will update you if it worked.
Sure I will upload it and it will be the first time to upload a rom after years of modifying stock and custom roms without even creating a flashable zip file
I'm planning to create 3 roms
1. Stock deoedexed deknoxed rooted with busybox
2. same as 1 but debloated (I consider all samsung apps to be bloatware)
3. Will try to replace samsung core apps with google ones from stock nexus gapps
so wish me luck and remember that all these are thanks to your TWRP

You'd have to be on the latest bootloader and maybe radio, then you can wipe data and system and do the above, you can't dirty flash N over M

Try this when in safe mode: power off, reboot to recovery flash su and reboot system
Alternatively(once in recovery from safe mode)
1. Flash boot.img, reboot system then go back and flash su
Or
2. Make nandroid of data, clean flash and restore from tibu/nandroid option
I'm sorry i can't help you further mate, that's the extent of my knowledge about this

Does adaway and Titanium Backup work using this method on DP4?

i don't use adaway, i manually push a modified hosts file into system/etc, that works and
tibu seems to restore only data(even with a clean flash), so i install the apk from tibu backup folder and then restore data from tibu

flash directly from Android Developers using adb command.
However, it has been 20 minus and I am still looking at the "Google" sign. Should I try to re-flash it over or keep waiting?
PS. it took me 40 minus+ to wipe data and cache....

Titanium Backup will work once you set SELinux to permissive. I did so by using the following zips:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66371718&postcount=7

Anyone having issues with Bluetooth connectivity? I'll be listening to much over Bluetooth and the connection will drop. A few seconds later it will reconnect and continue on.
When it does this, the Bluetooth icon also disappears from the status bar.
Happens in my car (aftermarket Kenwood) and with my insignia Bluetooth speaker.

Thanks! I've been wanting to come back to N for a while now (dumped it when DP2 sucked) but the Titanium restore issue has been keeping me away. This is good news.

So even after restoring that backup your still stuck on Google splash screen?
I doubled checked my upload looks like its missing boot.emmc.wIn file. take the boot file from this post, and flash it through twrp. Make sure you select img file or twrp won't see it. It is the boot for that backup.

Android O

Android O (Oreo?) developer preview out now!
No OTA on the beta channel initially.

This is a developer's preview... probably not ready for use on a daily driver.

That's pretty sweet

flashed just the baseband thinking i could easily flash back to a different one and now it wont flash back any ideas?
edit: fixed it i had to flash a newer bootloader then it let me flash back to a radio that worked WEW!!!

So I'm currently on PureNexus / NOF27C.
I'm assuming if there is an updated baseband / radio with O, I can simply flash these and won't have any repercussions?
IIRC the baseband / bootloader has no effect over the version of the OS, right?
Edit: flashed new bootloader and radio from O on 7.1.2 PN fine.

Stock mod rom

bootloader will be locked????
if i install 060 stock rom through TWRP

twrp

Nope.
But if you flash stock rom, device partition will get encrypted. :good:
So take backups before doing so cuz if the the encryption fails, you need to factory reset the phone.

Not observed this as, current firmware packages doesn't include recovery image file so twrp will not be overwritten i guess.
