Yes, TWRP can replace stock recovery.

Install method:

- Download your image and rename to recovery.img

- Copy the image to your External SD, and boot while pressing the reset button. On TWRP screen select install->images pick recovery.img

Alternative method

- adb shell 'dd if=/path/to/recovery.img of=/dev/block/recovery ;sync;sync'

Did you do any of the above ?

Those files are of no use.Do 'adb shell cat proc/partitions > partitions.txt' and the same for the other command but change the partitions.txt to block.txt. Then upload those two files that should exist on the folder where you opened the terminal window.

I can not execute this commands:adb shell cat proc/partitions > partitions.txt' and second one.There is massage "read only file system.

I test just the this method and i get only my stock recovery screen

install method:

- Download your image and rename to recovery.img

- Copy the image to your External SD, and boot while pressing the reset button. On TWRP screen select install->images pick recovery.img

Hello to all members.

@abdul_pt

I tried 2.8.7.0 on Minix X-8H and although it goes to TWRP, it doesn't see any of the folders I have on the sdcard. I renamed your recovery to recover.img and I put on the sdcard.
Could you please look into this. Also do you have links for the older ones to try ?

I believe the post your looking for is on the previous page.

Hello... I have 2 Otto square boxes .One is Otto M8 and the other is Otto M8s..im confused on witch type of twrp i must flash for each one...can anyone just tell me this?

[Notex]

I have some issues with N200 TWRP. I can boot into stock recovery fine.
I tried flashing both of these:
TWRP_2.8.7.0_N200.img
TWRP_2.8.7.0_N200_emmc.img

And none of them booted into the recovery, the screen was black for a few seconds and then it restarted and then Android loaded.

I'm not sure why they are not working, is there anything you can do to help me?

Alright I'll try flashing that, I'll edit this post if it works or not.

Edit: Thanks after flashing that .img file instead, it worked!

Hi, I have a ilinkbrand MXIII (MX3 S) with the same specs as the MXIII. I want to install TWRP recovery on my device, but I'm not to sure what I version I have. On the box it says 2gb of ram but when I run Cpu-z apk, it says it's the 1gb version. (about 1.5gb) all other specs from the first post line up with mine, I have included some pics of what I mean. Hope someone can help thanks.

Hello, abdul_pt

I have big trouble with M8 TV Box - got brick, please help me!
I used "TWRP_2.8.7.0_K200.img" (Size: 11 074 904 - in Total Commander)

After one of the attempts in TWRP of transfer partitions from one model "M8 TV Box" to another model (from PCB "M8 V5_0" to PCB "M9&M8_V0.92") i did "Advanced Wipe": Dalvik Cache / Cache / System / Data / Internal Storage.
After that i did "Restore Partitions": Bootloader / Logo / Recovery / Boot / System.
After rebooting M8 Box a got black screen, nothing happens, got bricked device.

Any attempts to flash from SD-card firmwares for any models "M8 TV Box" do not succeed, each time at the end it loads "Stock Recovery" from SD-card with errors about "Cache" partition, it is missing. Also missing all other partitions. Recovery of partitions via TWRP do not succeed.

At this stage, i have had normal partitions "bootloader" and "ubootenv" in M8 box memory.
my commands via ADB Shell:

cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name
31 0 1024 mtdblock0
31 1 64 mtdblock1
179 0 15440896 mmcblk0
179 1 15422400 mmcblk0p1
that all, and nothing else partitions

cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00100000 00001000 "bootloader"
mtd1: 00010000 00001000 "ubootenv"

but after my attempts to flash some IMG firmwares of potentially compatible S802 models, via USB-OTG using "USB Burning Tool" with option "Erase Flash" > "Force Erase All", it broke my partitions "bootloader" and "ubootenv", and unfortunately any attempts to flash firmware via "USB Burning Tool" stuck at 4% of progress, after formatting command, with error "disk_initial failed" / "[0x32030202]disk_initial command return error value".
I also tried to short NAND pins (29+30 for my model) but it did not help.

i can start now my M8 TV Box only from booting SD-card with hidden loader made by program "BootcardMaker". I still can load TWRP, can control box via ADB Shell, can try flash it via "USB Burning Tool". But i still can not recovery any firmware because of all my partitions are broken/lost.

=============================================
So what i have now in ADB Shell in my bricked "M8 TV Box" PCB "M9&M8_V0.92":

cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name
179 0 7777280 mmcblk0
179 1 7759395 mmcblk0p1

cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name

i want to manually recreate all blank stock partitions via ADB Shell using SGDISK as written there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1605664
http://ram.kossboss.com/writing-new-...nd-sfdisk-mbr/
and after that i will try restore firmware of some methods:
- flash via "USB Burning Tool" from IMG image
- install from SD-card ZIP-firmware
- recovery via ADB Shell from IMG partitions backups (i made them earlier from normal "M8 TV Box" PCB "M9&M8_V0.92")
- recovery via TWRP from partitions backups (i made them earlier from normal "M8 TV Box" PCB "M9&M8_V0.92")

i have logs from ADB Shell commands from normal "M8 TV Box" PCB "M9&M8_V0.92":
cat /proc/partitions
cat proc/mtd
cat proc/ntd
cat /proc/mounts
ls -l -R dev/block
(and can send it to you PM or publish it in that public forum topic - depends from what variant you prefer)

But i don't know which exactly commands i must make via "SGDISK" for recreate needed partitions.
It should be something like:

/sdcard # ./sgdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0 -a 256 -n 1:256:511 -n 0:0:1023 -n 0:0:31743 -n 0:0:65535 -n 0:0:163839 -n 0:0:262143 -n 0:0:1019903 -n 0:0:2273279 -n 0:0:3145727 -n 0:0:+12G -n 0:0:0

But i don't know what exactly parameters of that command needed for my M8 Box, so abdul_pt please help me to unbrick my "M8 TV Box", and also if someone else knows about it and can help me, i'll be very grateful.
