PitchBlack Recovery Project

An Open Source custom recovery for android

Getting started

To get started with PitchBlack Recovery, you'll need to get familiar with Git and Repo.

To initialize your local repository using the minimal-manifest-twrp omni trees to build PBRP with oreo manifest, use a command like this:

$ repo init -u git://github.com/PitchBlackRecoveryProject/manifest_pb.git -b twrp-8.1

For Initial Low RAM Devices or older MTK Devices:

$ repo init -u git://github.com/PitchBlackRecoveryProject/manifest_pb.git -b twrp-6.0

To initialize a shallow clone, which will save even more space, use a command like this:

$ repo init --depth=1 -u git://github.com/PitchBlackRecoveryProject/manifest_pb.git -b twrp-8.1

For Initial Low RAM Devices:

$ repo init --depth=1 -u git://github.com/PitchBlackRecoveryProject/manifest_pb.git -b twrp-6.0

For Upgrade Encryption Devices i.e., POCO, Oneplus 6, Using Stock Oreo or Pie with pie manifest

$ repo init -u git://github.com/PitchBlackRecoveryProject/manifest_pb.git -b android-9.0

Then to sync up:

$ repo sync

omni_device.mk sample

# Inherit from those products. Most specific first.
$(call inherit-product, $(SRC_TARGET_DIR)/product/core_64_bit.mk) -- only for 64bit phones

# Inherit from device
$(call inherit-product, device/<path>/device.mk) -- path to main device makefile

# Inherit common product files.
$(call inherit-product, vendor/pb/config/common.mk)

# Set those variables here to overwrite the inherited values.
BOARD_VENDOR := 
PRODUCT_BRAND := 
PRODUCT_DEVICE := 
PRODUCT_NAME := omni_device
PRODUCT_MANUFACTURER := 
PRODUCT_MODEL := 
TARGET_VENDOR := 

Then to build:

     $ cd <source-dir>

     $ . build/envsetup.sh

     $ lunch omni_<device>-eng

     $ mka recoveryimage

If it fails to build:

     $ export LC_ALL=C
