The TWRP http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 is a fine tool for easy backups, particuculary before intstalling updates.
But for the Fairphone there’s no recovery compiled.
It is possible to compile a recovery, the description is on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32965365.
I have a lot of IT knowledge, but no expierience compiling a TWRP file.
Is somebody else compiling such a file?
Or does somebody want to to build a virtual workgroup to compile and test together a TWRP-file for the Fairphone?
As interesting as this sounds, this is quite advanced for the basic Fairphone-user. I do hope you find someone that can help you with this, as I personally can’t
recovery-cwm-fp1-0.1.img (old version) could be flashed, bud dint work at all.
cwm-fp1-kk.0.1.img (KitKat version) couldnt be flashed with the stock ROM (4.2.2).
recovery-cwm-FP1-0.2.img (current version) could be flashed, but the new recovery didnt find the scdard.
When i tried the option “backup on external sd card” the backup started, but aborded beceause it didnt find the data partition.
First I thought it was beceause my phone is encrypted, but after the reset it didnt work with the stock ROM without encryption.
I think this one deserves an own Topic. As you might have read at several ocasions in the forum, TWRP is high up on the wishlist of many people. Basically it is (as far as I read) open source, so everybody could adapt it to the Fairphone. But the makers of it would probably also create it (if they had a fairphone in their hands).
Have you thought about contacting them for a Fairphone adpation or is creating an own version yourself already on your to-do-list?
TWRP would surely value up the Fairphone even more than it already is.
Hi
I started looking into it. Don’t have that much time in the moment, but I’m very interested. My background is probably like yours, learned something this weekend while trying to compile and flash the ROM on the device…
