Glad to be back with an unlocked bootloader 🙂
So it’s time to start from scratch to compile CM and Recovery from source.
This is a beta version with few small bugs but usable, and functional.
These are all the source files of the recovery:
Changelog
V0.2
- backup modem partition
- backup cust partition (Custom storage)
- internal sd path fixed
V0.1
- flash zip from SD
- backup
- restore
- mount
- advanced wipe
- battery percentage
What’s not working
- USB mass storage is buggy, can’t umount from unmount button in TWRP (CRITICAL)
- Can’t select other storage for USB mass storage (CRITICAL)
internal storage not recognised properly (MAJOR)[update: SOLVED]- from phone off (battery empty), boot into TWRP (MINOR)
annoying selinux message in log “Failed to get selinux context: No data available” (TRIVIAL)[update: cannot be solved without implementing selinux in kernel]- long time booting (TRIVIAL)
Well as it is a beta let me know if something else is not working

that it is compiled from source and open to everybody to see what I’m doing
it is great i am waiting for your fixed versions… 🙂
I try this version of recovery to backup, before I checked my status of bootloader using U9508Unlock_v3.exe, really unlocked. After loading a recovery I changed path to save backup on ext_sdcard. Backup is created in 5 minutes really to ext_sdcard. I compared size of backup with previous backup with previous revovery and I was surprised. Size of backup with your version is twice as large that wiht previous recovery (3,6 GB x 1,8GB). Other differences : different file name extensions /two files data.ext4.win000 and data.ext4.win001 x data.ext4.win/. I checked the log file and I found the following:
Backing up System…
I:parentDir: system
I:tarDirs addFile ‘/system/’ including root: 0
Failed to get selinux context: No data available
I:tar_append_tree ‘/system/app’ as ‘/app’
==> tar_append_tree(0x42b63438, “/system/app”, “/app”)
Failed to get selinux context: No data available
This error message is for all folder ‘/system/’
Previous log of previous recovery was ok, but dosn´t work recovery update data … crashed so when restoring the system
I have HH2 with 2 GB RAM
So you are saying 2 things:
1) Q. backup is larger //// A. you probably didn’t enabled compression of the backup image
2) System partition backup is not working. //// A. I will have a look
its nice! thx! but its boots into recovery very slow…..
its impossible to flash a zip like rom or anything!
please post /cache/last-log file so I will try to understand. It works like a charm this feature on my device so I would really want to understand what’s goin on.
This is the log:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5vf1eosb2t09g8y/recovery.log
So what’s the problem? Not having selinux is messing up a bit, but you succeed in the backup process so backup is technically working. The error we see is just that we don’t have selinux -> MINOR BUG to solve at the end
when the phone is off (battery empty) and i plug in to the charge,its boot very very long and starts first twrp,must restart the phone than…can you look at that please?
backup works really nice,and restore also
i now its an first relese…

I have successfully unlocked my bootloader and I now want to flash this recovery.So what should I do? Flash it with the tool wich I unlocked the bootloader with? Also is it stable enough to use this recovery for normal everyday use? I just want it for the wipes and installs of my roms and kernels.Can it handle that? And one last thing, are you still developing it? Is it going well?
fastboot flash recovery filename
That is the command to flash the recovery from download mode.
It is stable, the only bugs are the ones written above.
Just flashed it and works great! Now do you know if there are any custom roms in the building right now?
hey mangusta86,batty sold her u9508! he cant make any roms more! please bro,dont give up to help us and dont stop the war with huawei! one hero is gone…..R.I.P….. only you can help us.
That’s true but it’s not that bad.
What do you think,how long time needed for a working CM? I see the most things are working! YEAY! I can wait…..keep it going hero 😀
Hi, I installed this recovery and the phone boot and stuk in logo, what can I do?, the phone not going to recovery mode.
when I plugged the phone to computer (win8), the phone recodnize in device manager as “shuame Android Bootloader Interface”, but I can’t see any SD card or storage of the phone.
Please Help!
It takes 40 seconds to boot. If it doesn’t boot, you didn’t flash it properly
Hi, can I install rom’s with this app that come in “dload” folder with “update.app” file?
Absolutely not.
so, what I need to do? re-install Chinese Recovery? if the answer yes, how I’m doing that?
Not even with Geno recovery.. You need huawei recovery
OK, how I re installed huawei recovery? do you have a link?
thanks,
@LI
Do you know read ? 😀 In the section Download you have a link …

Look for the post “recovery partition” you will find it.
Sentinel,
This is the TWRP recovery, not the original recovery of the phone!
OK, how I re installed huawei recovery? do you have a link?
thanks,
@LI
try this link:
http://uloz.to/xU4E8EPv/recovery6-0-1-9-ascendhonor2-w8-zip
can you please update the trwp please?
or did you stop working on this?
At the moment I don’t have anything to commit… It works flawlessly, only annoying thing is the long time boot, but on the other hand, all the features are working, so what do you want more? Probably the long time booting will never be solved without kernel early debugging but I should work with oscilloscope and USB to UART… unless somebody knows another way
any idea where i can find custom b804 rom? thx
Here you can find a B804 Custom Rom 😀

Hey Mangusta86,
I’d really love to try out your CM 10.1 ROM. Therefore I want to install TWRP, but I can’t find a tutorial for it. Can you tell me how to install it?
Thx a lot for your fantastic work!
