Root [Development] Unofficial TWRP - K2_CL

If you are S-On then you will need to unpack your boot.img and swap the old kernel with the new kernel then rebuild the boot.img and finally flashing it to your device using fastboot. My kernel swap is mainly for those who are already S-Off.

I plan to add to my kernel source so it will handle all that automatically for both users.
 
Hey guys, just spoke with Dees_Troy. He grabbed my forked repo and built us a recovery image. I have been testing it this morning. I found no bugs. So I wrote back to him. Whenever he gets the message, we should have official support for our device in regards to our recent 4.2.2 update.

Also, he has implemented screenshots in to his source so you actually won't lose that function.

He currently has 2.7.1.0 available and listed under our device, but it won't work like it should with the new HBoot 2.21 we recieved.

I will report back when official support has been completed and also provide a link as well.

Hi ModdingMyMind,

- Got a question regarding TWRP 2.7.1.0:
Right now I am using the HTC ONE SV 4.2.2 version (after you helped me with the transition a few weeks ago) and finally got my Boost htc phone unlocked, so I was wondering if I can use your unofficial twrp latest version (K2_CL_TWRP_2.7.0.2d_Extended) combined with the the official twrp steps to get a recovery software on my phone?

Thank you as usual,

Carlohzamora

Not sure exactly what you are asking me here but if you are wanting to know if you can use my version of TWRP then yes.

Code: 
fastboot flash recovery K2_CL_TWRP_2.7.0.2d_Extended.img
 
Also, if you are S-Off you can place the image on your device and use either dd or cat to install it to your device. The commands are as follows - pick one lol:

DD - an example
Code: 
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21

CAT - an example
Code: 
cat /sdcard/recovery.img > /dev/block/mmcblk0p21


mmcblk0p21 is the recovery partition to the K2_CL variant. Please insure you use the correct one for your device :-).
 
Hey guys, K2_CL is up and going again with official support from TeamWin after updating him with the new device tree since our 4.2.2 update.

It's version 2.7.1.1. It's the same as my unofficial 2.7.1.0 build. He just bumped the version number since the last official build just happens to be 2.7.1.0 using an outdated device tree.

Anyways, here is the link. Your welcome, and enjoy.

Was playing around with the OmniRom 4.4 source and adjusted some files to give -O3 optimization upon building after conducting make clean/clobber. Just built TWRP with this and MAN DOES IT MAKE IT RUN SMOOTHER. AromaFM didn't even lag once on me lol. But using such optimizations for your build GREATLY increases the size of the finishing build lol. But the performance is AMAZING.
 
Who here has an OTG cable. I personally do not, but want to know if this kernel I am building will support it. Basically, need a tester on that lol. Otherwise, I have no way of confirming.

I have one somewhere (I'd have to look for it though)

I'm about 80 percent certain I have added otg support. But without the otg cable I cannot complete my tests. The kernel definitely has support, as well as the device. And a usb directory is created on my device as well. I have used a few apps on the playstore that runs test to determine if otg support is found in both the kernel and the device. Every test I have conducted thus far has passed. I just dont have the cable to make this official lol. Hopefully you can find yours :-)
 
I decided to build CWM. Not sure who here will be interested in it lol. I personally won't use it, because I like TWRP way better. But, I know some may prefer CWM. It's building now. Will try and work through any bugs (if any at all).
 
Gonna have to sync CM11. Seems to be corrupted on my computer and is giving me problems building CWM. Offmode charging works, but can't get it to boot on the recovery even though the device configuration is good to go. Infact, the source is giving me problems building TWRP so I moved over to using OmniRom for building TWRP. Can't sync CM11 until I get access to WiFi though.

If you need any additional testers, i have an otg cable as well :)

Well, it appears the support is there. Will need to modify the ramdisk though because nothing shows up with the otg cable. Which that is telling me it isn't mounting like it should. Will modify the init.rc file when I get the chance and hit you up. Been busy handling bills and working lol.
 
Do you know what palm used to test? And the format? Because if it was NTFS that may be the issue. The kernel I'm using on my nexus doesn't support NTFS so it will still mount it, it just shows as empty. Perhaps this was the case here?

Edit - did you have him test any other functionality? (Mouse, keyboard, USB hub, etc?)

Quoting Palm from his PM to me:
I notice a message about being in USB host mode and a folder (/storage/usb) but I'm not seeing anything on the usb drive that's plugged in

I don't have my laptop with me at the moment, but I will check when I can in regards to NTFS. That may be the solution.

Though I am pretty confident that the ramdisk needs to be modified as well based on my researching.

I did not test other functionality (though that would be a good idea). I'm also pretty sure the drive was fat32
