This is TeamWin Recovery Project version 2.8.7.0 for Lenovo Ideatab A2109.

Sources are in the cm-12.1-twrp branch of my device tree on github

This is a very nice recovery with more functionality than cwm. Note that cwm backups appear to be incompatible with twrp!

To install, reboot to fastboot and use fastboot to flash the recovery image. On Linux:

Code:

fastboot -i 0x17ef flash recovery twrp-recovery-2.8.7.0-20160303.img

Basics for installation (how to boot to fastboot, etc.) are over here:

I've tested the usual functionality myself (backup, restore, adb sideload, installing zips) and a few other bits and all appears to work fine.

 

Hi, @PJBrs , i flash new recovery, nice work. But i can't find sdcard. Reboot revovery - done, but nothing.
Thanks.

 

Thanks for testing! I'm a bit puzzled, I myself am using twrp with an sdcard. If you open one of the mount, install, backup or restore menus, each should have a large button somewhere saying something like Storage: Internal storage. If you tap that button, it will offer you the choices of internal storage, sdcard or USB stick. Please check.

 

Yes, I find this button, but I can't change to sdcard, only internal storage.

 

I'm sorry, I can't replicate this. Did you first mount it? Try to open a shell with adb and issue

Code:

mount

and perhaps

Code:

dmesg

just to see if anything stands out.
