Thanks abdul

Until we have the FTP problem solved here's a mirror

TWRP s82b

[abdul_pt]

Need some volunteers for testing...

TWRP Acemax m8

TWRP x8-h

Install like stated on the OP.


If something isn't working right, please provide if possible, recovery.log and dmesg. You can go to advance tab, and choose copy log to SD or do adb pull tmp/recovery.log

[Dataking]

Would really appreciate if you could release TWRP for the M8 square box! This will make my config complete

Thanks a lot!

[abdul_pt]

Can you point me to a FW ?

I thought that the acemax m8 was the M8 square.

It is.

Bob's 1.8 rom below is based on acemax july release but much better:

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?15529-NEW-Finless-1-8-for-EM8-Square-Box

I'll test the TWRP_m8.zip with 1.8 on my square m8 & restore a nandroid when I get back home later tonight.

Thanks

TWRP x8-h

...

- Flashed with recovery of 002Beta6 (KOT 49H.20140717).
- Script runs till 'script succeeded: result was [0.100000]' and stops there (went not back to recovery menu).
- Restart by off/on -> reboot to recovery (via UPDATE&BACKUP APP) ->

At [Restore] I can select External SD but see no folders or files?
(My first time I use your recovery, so maybe normal )

[Reboot] -> [Power Off ] ->

Copy Log didn't work (find no file at SD) but find the following:

E: Find_File: Error opening 'sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight'
E: Unable to find partition size for '/logo'
E: Unable to find partition size for '/recovery'
E: Unable to find partition size for '/boot'
Updating partition details...
Full SELinux support present.
Copied recovery log to /data/media/0.

EDIT:
BTW 1080P will be nice

TWRP Acemax m8

Testing on Square M8 s802 (not clone, current 0.92 PCB)
Bob's ROM Finless 1.8

Went into recovery via reset button
wiped cache
flashed TWRP_m8.zip
install succeeded [0.100000]

rebooted
went into recovery via 3 different apps 3 times

no success: old stock Recovery, 3e, persists:
Android system recovery <3e>
KOT49H 20140616 test-keys

No TWRP!

#################################

Also went into recovery via app
didn't wipe cache
flashed TWRP_m8.zip
No success again!

################################

Maybe factory reset + flashing TWRP_m8.zip works
but I didn't try as didn't want to lose my data.
I don't think that might do it but there's a chance it might.

Someone who has just flashed 1.8, please try:
factory reset
flash TWRP_m8.zip

See if TWRP appears.

################################

Most people here have flashed Bob's 1.8

I suggest Abdul and Bob jointly investigate why on M8 the old 3e recovery is persistent.

################################

Thanks.

OK, found the bug:

Deleted recovery.img in root of internal memory
went into recovery via app
TWRP loads

wireless mouse works

Next step: making a nandroid backup & then
restoring that

wish me luck.

my last_log file:

Testing TWRP on MINIX X8-h

Installed as per instructions. Had same problem script succeeded but did not go back to reboot screen, solved same way by removing recovery.img from root.

Tried backup TWRP could not read logo, recovery or boot all 0mb, backed up data and system successfully and wrote log file.

Did not try to restore.

Log file uploaded.

[Guest]

OK, report on: Abdul's TWRP port for Square M8 on Bob's ROM 1.8
(cont.d):

Backup

Made nandroid backup on internal:
shortened name
chose all sections: boot sys data...

size was about 2.2gb

Backup was successful

Location @: /SD-Card1 (internal memory)/TWRP

I used internal instead of physical external SD-Card for speed.

##############################

Restore

Restored from recovery
took a while, finished restoring

reboot button failed: screen froze!
switched off box

switched on box
reboot started
android updated only 6 apps (Bob's ROM apps)
went into initial setup of android
settings were remembered, clicked a couple of OK buttons
going into android took about a minute

All my apps were restored too

##############################

Notes:

my wallpaper (app: No wallpaper) was replaced with Bob's ROM
some apps (xiialive radio + few) lost their settings
most apps + Nova launcher settings were restored fine

tested a few videos and channels on 2 xbmc:
add-ons restored fine
streaming and working fine

##############################

It's 720p:

TWRP covered the top left quarter of my 1080p screen only:
My Bob's 1.8 ROM is set to 1080p

switching the TV hdmi input box to satellite and back to M8:
made it recognize 720 mode and filled the screen

720p is good: works for all users

#############################

Restore from SD-Card:

Copied TWRP (folder) backup from internal memory to physical SD-Card(2)
rebooted into recovery
chose external: top box gives options: internal external otg
currently restoring (similar speed)

................... should be OK when it finishes.

############################

Thanks Abdul.

Report on: Abdul's TWRP port for Square M8 on Bob's ROM 1.8
(cont.d):

Restore from SD-Card (cont.d):

* Reboot button after Physical SD-Card restore does work, no freeze

* After SD-Card restore:

+ No updating of apps
+ No going into settings
+ No loss of settings as in few apps
+ System reboots exactly as nothing happened and as it was

Perfect Restore.

Conclusion: restore from physical SD-Card.

Thanks Abdul.
