[ROM][STOCK] X8-H Stock OTA → TWRP Installable


This release is for people like myself who installed TWRP.

I have only tested this on the X8-H I have no idea if it will work on any other models. I don't have a PLUS model, I doubt it would work on it. If you have a PLUS with TWRP feel free to message me I may be able to help.

FIRST

Sorry if this is a bit convoluted, I am not an android developer, I don't really have much expertise in this.

TWRP

The problem with this TWRP is it sets your ro.product.device to x8-h instead of NEO-X8 which breaks the "OTA" update feature. I don't really care about OTA, so this makes little difference to me.

I got TWRP here: http://www.minixforum.com/threads/tw...neo-x8-h.1267/

I mirrored the zip file here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952606011

There's a couple ways to install it, I did:

Code:

---

adb reboot recovery
Install update from ADB
adb sideload TWRP_X8-h.zip

---

UPDATES

These are pulled from OTA and modified to work with TWRP. I did not include any additional stuff, I figure if you're using TWRP already you probably know more than the average user and can setup your device however you want.

Get both of these...

KOT49H.20150428: This update is the 004 update.
Notes: This is a full system update, I wiped my system before installing it.

KOT49H.20150507: This update is the 005 update.
Notes: This update will revert your recovery back to their stock recovery, because reasons. You'll have to reflash TWRP afterwards if you want to continue using it.

Installation:

• Boot into recovery.


• Back-Up your device.


• Wipe your device, I did it, you can try not doing it, not sure what will happen.


• Install updates the update.KOT49H.20150428.TWRP.zip first then add the update.KOT49H.20150507.TWRP.zip


• After both install it will "upgrade" your bootloader to stock. You may reapply the TWRP_X8-h.zip update here if you would like.


• After you're done with that TWRP will ask you if you would like to root, I recommend yes.


• Reboot


• ???


• Profit!
