Awesome job bro! Running like a champ!!

Thanks a lot!
Now I can run Mahdi without problems!
thanks for this- but it's still not working- will i need to reflash madhi? i just fastbooted the recovery across and it boots into the recovery no worries and recognises all partitions but rom won't boot...
***edit*** it just booted up, about 5th attempt.. no boot animation though...ignore me...
Flashed recovery.img, bootet into recovery, no partitions..

Which rom were you running when you rebooted into recovery?
Stock, so CM11s.
mine still is not good. i treid to reboot to get it to hold the no hardware buttons. didn't reboot. tried about 10 times. eventually booted intot this new recovery and reflashed rom and booted it up. it's a bloody weird looking boot- no boot animation- made me think it was screwed again.
did you have to do anything to get it working again? Wipe entire device or just data partition?
Working good here, but I had no issues with the official build. I have an international version, 64GB OPO.
It's nice to see some additional features added, though.
Just helping out, packaged in a flashable zip for those with current CWM or TWRP recoveries, tested and working, enjoy everyone.
Flashed with the zip in the post above, worked flawlessly, was able to backup my EFS partition which is what I was looking to do. Thanks!

Guys i wonder when you press efs restore is it
fastboot format modemst1 & st2
or
fastboot erase modemst1 & st2
or may be both? in that case in what order?
I flashed the one in OP, but the system does not see any partition ?
Can I flash 15th without bricking the phone
[EDIT] I tried a second time, and now it´s ok, partitions are there and backup is currently running
Any chance at adding F2FS support direct for this recovery for the ONE Plus?

Question - now I ask this to see how you may do this and possibly help others from waiting for a zip. Now are you simply renaming the image file from TWRP to recovery.img and placing it inside an already created zip file for flashing. A zip file that of course was created for an earlier version of TWRP lets say

Correct, easy huh
Delete the twrp.img......drag and drop the new img into the zip......dont uncompress the zip and compress it again.

NOTICE: I no longer have a copy of the recovery image since goo.im went down. If anyone still has it, feel free to post a link. I'll leave the instructions here. Also, I won't be updating this since I no longer have a TF201 and ROM development seems to have shifted to a modified bootloader, which requires a different recovery image anyway.
Original post:
Warning: You must be on the 4.1.1 Bootloader to use this. Androwook and other stock based ROMs supply their own recovery.
With 4.4 based ROMs starting to come to our tablet, and official TWRP not flashing them, I thought I'd take a crack at updating it. As some of you may know, attempting to flash a KitKat ROM using the current version of TWRP fails, resulting in a "set_metadata_recursive" error. This updated version, based on the OmniROM fork of TWRP, fixes that.
Latest Version: 2.7.0.0-Voyager2k_v1.2
Instructions:
1.(Highly Recommended) Enable NVFlash if you haven't already. Check here for details.
2. Make sure you are on the 4.1.1 Jellybean Bootloader. If you are already running ParanoidAndroid or CyanogenMod, you're fine.
3. Download the recovery image here. The latest file is recovery1.2.img. EDIT: Links are broken. See above
4. You can use the same instructions that are on the TWRP page, but for convenience, I'll add them here. You have two options:
A. Fastboot. Boot the tablet into fastboot and use "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery recoveryX.X.img" (no quotes, replace X.X with whatever numbers are in the filename) from your computer to flash the recovery.B. Flash from terminal within the tablet. Open a terminal emulator within android and type "su" (no quotes) to get root access. Then type "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4" (no quotes, replace X.X with whatever numbers are in the filename) to flash the recovery and reboot normally. This is critical, as the recovery won't flash until the system has rebooted normally.
If successful, the version number should read: "2.7.0.0-Voyager2k-vX.X" (X.X being my revision number)
Known Issues:
1. /system/media doesn't get backed up for some reason. Restoring backups works, but you won't have sounds or a boot animation. (I think this is fixed in the newest version, but I'm waiting on other reports before I remove this item)
Ususal disclaimer: I am not responsible if this messes up your tablet in any way.
Credits:
TWRP for making the recovery
Built from the OmniROM fork. Source is here.
Changelog:
Version 1.1 - 2/19/2014
Added support for the dock keyboard
Fixed /system/media not backing up properly
Synced with latest OmniROM recovery sources
Version 1.2 - 3/25/2014
Updated to TWRP version 2.7.0.0
A little cleanup behind the scenes
one more.
Works Great! Flashed without problems via fastboot :victory:
Thank You!
Now I just need an awesome 4.4. ROM to flash :fingers-crossed:
works also with the second instruction over the tablet
Excellent news
I tried through the Terminal but despite no error was presented it didn't worked. The recovery presented was the old CWM. After flashing through fastboot the new recovery popped out like a charm
Thanks.
thanks, it works through terminal. jut make sure to be root (su) and adjust the path of the recovery image
Sent from my EPAD using Tapatalk
thanks! This rec works and I have flashed cm11. Terminal works. U should insert "su" first

To use the second method you need to run su command first before using dd

Bug report!
BUG REPORT!
There is a BUG in this version of TWRP:
It does not make any backup folder named media!
For example /system/media.
As result after recovery the folder /system has no this subfolder media and correspondingly missing boot animation and system sounds.

What bootloader is this compatible with? Does it work with the TF300T Bootloader? I am guessing not but someone from the Androwook thread might try it and that will not be good.
Seeing this is for kk support/ROMs, why would a wookie fastboot this?
Thank you Voyager for the ongoing support for the prime!

This is a TWRP backup of the stock firmware for V510 GPE GPAD 8.3. They have already been updated. It is completely stock no mods, no root, no busybox. This should ensure that you are able to take future OTAs without issue. Many GPE users have been having problems with the OTAs. The reason is that the OTA does a system verification and any type of modification causes it to fail.
How to flash this:
1. Reboot into bootloader
2. Flash TWRP if you don't already have it. Current version is 2.8.1.0 fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxxxxxxxx.img (where xxxxx is the filename)
3. Reboot System
4. Copy the entire contents of the zip file to your TWRP/BACKUPS/LG0000XXXXXXXX folder. Make sure you copy the folder 2014-11-30--23-35-25 LRX21P.L004 or 2014-06-26--18-41-18 KTU84P.L002. If you don't have a backups folder, create one in TWRP by choosing Backup, then backup something like the boot partition.
5. Reboot to Recovery Vol Dwn+Pwr or adb reboot recovery.
6. Choose Restore and select 2014-11-30--23-35-25 LRX21P.L004 or 2014-06-26--18-41-18 KTU84P.L002
7. Once finished Reboot System.
8. Upon boot you should be greeted with the usual Setup screens.
9. Reboot into bootloader
10. (Optional for Kit Kat) Flash stock recovery: fastboot flash recovery 17-recovery.img
11. Reboot into system
.
Flashing the stock recovery is optional however if you want a completely stock experience and ensure future OTAs, you probably want to do so. Also note that you must unroot to take any future OTAs.
To reroot flash latest version of TWRP.

BTW: regarding recovery for our device, the latest (and in fact only) that I see is TWRP 2.7.0.1 in the Original Android Development section.
Agreed. I wasn't able to flash 4.4.4 any other way. Tried everything, kept getting errors. This finally worked!

I was not able to update using your image and I don't know why. Everything was done correctly as far as I know. I downloaded and unpacked the zip and placed it in the back apps folder of TWRP and rebooted into recovery and tried restore with no success during the system restore it stops halfway through and says failed.
I tried downloading the file twice, installing the file from my computer, changing my SD card, deleting everything and trying, deleting just dalvik cache a,updating the partition separately, and was able to update the boot partition but not system and data. I honestly don't know what the trouble is as I was able to restore my own back up several times.if anybody has any insight into what is happening here please tell me. I would really like to install the update! I don't know why it is not allowing me to.

First off, I use solid explorer, dual pane. Very easy to navigate for me.
I only copied system. I didn't even wipe. All my data and settings were intact. As close to an OTA I could get. The system backup was 790.95mb
It sounds like you did everything right to me. I included a screen shot of what it looked like after i clicked the backup.zip and moved the unzipped backup to the TWRP backup folder.

Do I need to uninstall Xposed Framework, unroot, restore the stock kernel, etc., before restoring this system back up TWRP? I assume the answer is no, though I'll need to reinstall those afterward, but I figured I'd check first!
UPDATE: Never mind. I just went ahead and restored it successfully and am in the process of restoring my apps from TiBu now. Thanks again for providing this for those of us who couldn't upgrade to 4.4.4 any other way!
Hey guys,
first off thank you for posting this tutorial, I was able to perform the backup0 and am currently on 4.4.4.
I did, however, run into a slight hiccup when I was trying to flash the stock recovery. I kept getting messages about partitions and so forth. I entered in the following commands from beginning to end:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery 17-recovery.img
but as I said I can't get the job done lol.
Any ideas?

A few things to check:
you need to have usb debugging checked on phone
you need the recovery image in same folder as your fastboot.exe/adb files
you need to cd to that directory/folder

However, download link in OP is currently broken. I PMed the OP about it.
Has anyone gotten the error "E: No partitions selected for restore." when trying to flash the recovery?
Threw together a dirty zip to overwrite the CM recovery inside the boot.img of each nightly for personal use until someone makes a persistent TWRP recovery. Figured others might be interested. I only threw the zip together, nothing else. The TWRP build is not mine nor is the boot.img used for the install.
*Flash the boot.img here first: [Broken, working on a fix]
*Once flashed, reboot into recovery and install the CM nightly zip, then (before rebooting) install my zip here: [Broken, working on a fix]
This will reflash the boot.img with TWRP
If you forget to flash this before rebooting, just follow the above steps again.
A great app to automate all this and to make sure you don't forget to flash the second zip is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cyandelta&hl=en You must move the CM Reinstall.zip into the cyandelta folder on your internal storage. Then add it via the apps settings (TWRP must be installed first)
Update: Broken on the latest nightly. Will have fix out today.

Notice that you'd have to save the .img file on the proper directory prior to using the command.

What is the output of the command? Does it throw you an error or anything?
@pilger i'm here, what to do next?
Here's a more detailed description of what I did in order for this to be flashed on my FOTAKernel:
Booted into default Cyanogen Recovery;
Wiped Dalvik and everything else I could in order to flash a new ROM;
Flashed the UNOFFICIAL CM from July 26th;
Flashed Pico Gapps (I guess it doesn't matter which Gapps you install, though);
Booted into system and set up everything (accounts, wi-fi, etc.);
DID NOT install Rashr;
Plugged my device to PC using USB;
Transfered the twrp-2.8.7.0_huashan.img to the root of the internal storage;
Unplugged the device from the computer;
Enabled Developer options on Settings (by tapping like crazy on the build number);
On the Developer options, I turned on Terminal Command, and root access to both ADB and apps;
Opened the terminal and entered "su" command to get root;
Allowed root and set it to remember its choice;
Entered up the command:
Code:
dd if=/ext_card/twrp-2.8.7.0_huashan.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
Rebooted on recovery mode;
TWRP 2.8.7.0 was functioning as expected.

I've got TWRP now, one question though, if I flash the next CM nightly, it wouldn't be overwrote by the cyanogen recovery?

Glad you got it to work, mate! Flashing CM shouldn't overwrite the recovery. I guess that's the purpose of having the recovery on FOTA.
I'm not an expert though. But I've tested a couple of times myself and TWRP is there after every flash.

Are you using Tangerine? This bug is not present in Tangerine's TWRP.

Well, strange. f2fs volumes couldn't be mounted.
Tangerine probably fixed the issue, same as my CM-12.1 boot image fixed the TWRP image.
The goal of the fix is to have F2FS working without the boot image flashed over TWRP to make clean installs.

The TWRP for the HD1910 works perfectly on the HD1925. Decryption works too. Install TWRP by using the installer.
Exact the img from the installer zip.
Boot to fastboot
Open a CMD within the extracted TWRP installer folder and type in
"fastboot boot recovery.img"
Once TWRP boots, then install the TWRP installer zip file.
I flashed magisk and it flashed with no issues. I used the latest version here.
Download TWRP for hotdog
Download TWRP Open Recovery for hotdog
dl.twrp.me
NOTE: I did it on the latest version, 11.0.1.18 So I'm not sure if it works on any older versions but I would assume so.
Yep, been out a while now. Works perfectly! However I highly highly recommend not using the twrp installer zip on our phones nor installing it by doing "fastboot flash recovery name_of_twrp.img"
Just download the latest .img and do "fastboot boot name_of_twrp.img" whenever you need to go into twrp recovery. Or you're just asking for trouble with OTA updates definitely no longer working (until you restore the stock recovery that matches the exact version of OOS that you are running) and a good possibility of getting a Qualcomm Crash-dump and losing or breaking all kinds of stuff.

I already know about all that. I've had this phone over a year, so I'm familiar with the hidden "secrets".

BTW, with unlocked bootloader OTA's are not available no matter what type of recovery you have installed. Unless you have reinstalled the reserve.img after unlocking the bootloader

@BobbyLynn I followed your tutorial to install the CrDroid recovery. Can you tell me how to flash TWRP? Bit of a noob for this phone.

Exact (Unzip) the zip folder. Within the extracted folder you'll see some other files. One of them is a recovery.img file. Open a command or PowerShell in the extracted folder. Reboot to fastboot.
Boot to fastboot and run this command
"fastboot boot recovery.img"
Once it boots into TWRP, then click on "install" and locate the TWRP installer zip and select it. It'll most likely be in the download folder. Just make sure you know where the TWRP installer zip is located before you even boot into TWRP

Not at all. The installer will take care of all that once you boot into TWRP

@BobbyLynn Should I take a backup? Would it wipe my storage? or it would be as it is?

No it won't wipe data or anything else. But it's always good to have a backup just in case anything goes sour.

I copied the .zip file on my phone but cannot navigate to it since all it shows is (Up A level), does not show the directories inside the storage

Select up a level then scroll down until you see a file called "storage" that'll take you to your storage. If it doesn't, the go back and click on "sdcard" But I'm almost certain it's in the storage folder
AntiSocialSingh said:
I think i need to flash it once via TWRP, i'll try it later, but thank you, it means that this TWRP works!

I just checked..... The "sdcard" folder is the one that takes you to the internal storage where the download folder is located. But as soon as you hit 'install" it should've taken you straight to the internal storage. If it didn't, then it sounds like it's still encrypted. If that's the case, then remove any screen locks on your phone before flashing TWRP
AntiSocialSingh said:
@BobbyLynn Let me try once again with the screen lock removed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When I installed TWRP I didn't have a screen lock. But after installing TWRP I set a screen lock and TWRP decrypted just fine. So I'm guessing if you install TWRP while you have a screen lock it doesn't install properly so it can't decrypt. It appears that any screen locks must be removed before installing and after installing reapply a screen lock

@BobbyLynn It worked! So basically, I had to remove both fingerprint and pattern locks to get it to work. Thanks a ton!!

I'm kinda curious, why did you install TWRP? Are you fixing to "test drive" some custom ROM's or flash some mods? Or did you install TWRP just for the hell of it?
AntiSocialSingh said:
@BobbyLynn The latter yes, test driving some mods, and I am used to the interface of TWRP, not crDroid much, personal preference hahahaha....Thank you so much once again. you're a legend.

I'm more use to TWRP myself. I started using TWRP about 10 years ago, it was and still is the best recovery out there. I just happened to install crDroid the other day just to test something. And that test turned out to be a great discovery of a simple way to root the stock firmware. Since I have a extra McLaren, I do quite a bit of testing and modding and experimental stuff. I'm currently working on installing the global firmware (unbranding) it. No luck yet, but I might be getting close.
AntiSocialSingh said:
@BobbyLynn I will be the first one to follow your tutorial if you manage to flash the Global ROM on it sir. I promise haha!
Click to expand...

You can bet your ass that if I pull off that trick it'll get LOT'S of comments from people thanking me lol. We've been wanting to install the global firmware on this phone, but nobody can figure out how to mod the ROM to make it flash on this phone. There's some very smart developers that own this phone, so I'm surprised that none of them have figured it out yet. So I've been tinkering around with trying to install it. It's looking like I'm going to have to make some modifications to the global ROM and/or the phone too to make the MSM tool see the phone as a comparable device

Well, yeah, restoring reserve.img is a prerequisite to get OTAs with the bootloader unlocked, but it only has to be done once. After that, for each ota, just restore the boot image to stock (uninstall magisk) and you're good to go
