You will need something from your Stock ROM first. Get them all and Try to modify it using the procedure.
- Get Your Stock Recovery
- Extract The Recovery Into Ramdisk & Kernel
- Create A GitHub Repository
- Make Notes from build.prop
- Add Some Stock Files
- Create "Android.mk"
- Create "AndroidProducts.mk"
- Create "BoardConfig.mk"
- Create "omni_$$DEVICE$$.mk"
- Publish the GitHub Repository
- Create An Account in Travis CI
- Create
.travis.ymlin GitHub Repo - Fire-Up The Build
- Flash The TWRP
- Troubleshooting
- You have to get your device's Stock
"recovery.img"from the Official Firmware which you can (or maybe can't) get from the device manufacturer's website. - You have to get the
build.propfile (from ROM's /system/build.prop) because there are a few key things that we need.- Use ADB to Pull the file by the command
adb pull /system/build.prop
- Use ADB to Pull the file by the command
- Use
Carliv Image Kitchento extract the image from Windows or Linux. - Need a Guide to Use it? Read This.
- Go to https://github.com/ and SignUp there.
- You have to Create an online GitHub Repository with the name of the device.
- For Example: something like
android_device_Walton_PrimoRX5ortwrp_device_Walton_PrimoRX5or whatever you want to call it.
- For Example: something like
- Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens/new/
- It will take you to a page to create a New personal access token.
- Name your Token as anything you like, for example: "GitHubToken" and save the Token Value in Notepad. We will need it later.
- Write down the keys and their values in Notepad or something of the followings:
- For ease, I am showing from my device.
As in "Keys" = "Values"
ro.build.product=gionee6735_65u_m0 # Company Given Codename for the Device. ro.product.board=Primo_RX5 # The Board Name for Build. ro.product.brand=WALTON # The Brand and The Manufacturer ro.product.manufacturer=WALTON # can be of the Same Name. ro.product.name=Primo_RX5 # The Device Name and/or The Codename ro.product.device=Primo_RX5 # we will be using. ro.product.model=Primo RX5 # A Nickname, we will ignore it. ro.mediatek.platform=MT6735 # The Chipset Platform of the Project. ro.mediatek.project.path=device/gionee/gionee6735_65u_m0 # The Original Build Location from Company. ro.product.cpu.abi=arm64-v8a # Shows if the device is 6-bit or 32-bit.
- Create a Folder named
prebuiltand put the unpackedrecovery.img-kernelinside it. Rename that file tozImage - Create another Folder named
recovery. Go in there and create a folder namedroot - In the
rootfolder, Put yourfactory_init.*.rcfiles,meta_init.*.rcfiles,ueventd.mt****.rc,init.recovery.mt****.rcfiles - Make a new folder named
etcinsideroot. Make a file namedrecovery.fstab- Use THIS FILE as a reference point and edit it.
- You Have to edit the Mount Addresses (Like /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/system), Alternate Short Mount Addresses (Like /dev/block/mmcblk0p20).
You can get Some of the Mount Addresses by ADB Commands from PC, using
adb shell cat /proc/self/mountstatsoradb shell cat /proc/self/mountsoradb shell cat /proc/self/mountinfo. Also check whether the Basic FSType (emmc or ext4) of the partitions match with your devices. If you fail to know the Alternate Short Mount Addresses, Just erase them.
- Make a new folder named
sbininsideroot. Make a file namedpermissive.shwith File Permission set to "644" by usingchmod a+x permissive.shshell command- The file must contain the below content:
#!/sbin/sh setenforce 0 # Get your device's block path where "system", "recovery", etc. lives. # That can be "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name" or something like that. mkdir -p /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/ busybox mount -o bind /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/ /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/
- The file must contain the below content:
- Make a new File, name it
Android.mk, with the below content# Replace $$DEVICE$$ with your Device Name's Value. Mine is Primo_RX5. # Replace $$BRAND$$ with your Brand's / Manufacturer's Value, Mine is WALTON ifneq ($(filter $$DEVICE$$,$(TARGET_DEVICE)),) LOCAL_PATH := device/$$BRAND$$/$$DEVICE$$ include $(call all-makefiles-under,$(LOCAL_PATH)) endif
- Make a new File, name it
AndroidProducts.mk, with the below content# Replace $$DEVICE$$ with your Device Name's Value. # Replace $$BRAND$$ with your Brand's / Manufacturer's Value. # The part of last line in mine looks like "omni_Primo_RX5.mk" LOCAL_PATH := device/$$BRAND$$/$$DEVICE$$ PRODUCT_MAKEFILES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/omni_$$DEVICE$$.mk

- If you have done the above process entirely online inside github.com, then it is okay.
- But, if you have done the above things Locally on your PC, Just upload the entire Folder or
git pushto server.No detail or tutorial will be provided here. This is A-B-C of Git, Man!
- Go to https://travis-ci.org/ and SignUp there using GitHub.
- Go to https://travis-ci.org/profile/ and Add the Repository there by tapping on the Radio Button switch at the right side of the Repository name.
- Now, On its further right corner, you will find an individual repository
Settingsbutton. Click it. You will be on the Repository's Settings Page Now.- Go below where "Environment Variables" is written.
- Add "GitOAUTHToken" as New Environment Variables' Name and put your GitHub Token's value as it's Value here.
- To Start the Build Process, go to your created TWRP Device Tree in GitHub.
- Make a file named

- When you save the .travis.yml file for the first time, the build will automatically start.
- You can see the progress of the build on https://travis-ci.org/$$USERNAME$$/$$REPO_URL$$/
- After the first build, you can see the result on the GitHub Repository's Releases Page at https://github.com/$$USERNAME$$/$$REPO_URL$$/releases/
- You can also download the file from viewing the Travis CI log, where the script uploaded it into https://transfer.sh/
- Flash the newly-build Recovery. It is better Not to Use with Stock ROM.
- If The Recovery does not Boot,
- Unpack the Stock Recovery Image again, and double-check properties used in TWRP Tree
- Double-check files that are included in the Tree
- If the Recovery starts Upside-Down,
- Edit BoardConfig.mk and insert the below line before the
includepart (last line)BOARD_HAS_FLIPPED_SCREEN := true
- Edit BoardConfig.mk and insert the below line before the
