[Recovery] 7to TWRP 3.1.1 for Nokia 5

[hikari_calyx]

Here's the TWRP Recovery adapted by Can Xin from Chinese 7to forum.
It's the same recovery adapted for Nokia 5.

Guide of flashing custom recovery and rooting: https://xdaforums.com/nokia-6/development/guide-how-to-flash-custom-recovery-root-t3702354
When you attempt to root Nokia 5, load official firmware for Nokia 5 instead.

UPDATE: Uploaded screenshots.

NOTE: I was using Nokia 5 prototype device, which doesn't have Nokia logo on the screen. However, the hardware specification is totally the same to retail devices.

In fact the screenshot it the same to the recovery for Nokia 6. You can take a look to the guide I posted on Nokia 6 Development forum.

Is TWRP only for TA-1004 as the name of file says? I have TA-1053, wondering about the chances of brick.

Wait a minute! TA-1004 is Nokia 8. Are you sure you wanna take the risk?

It works on any variant of Nokia 5 in theory.
And sorry for your wondering, I've put the recovery for Nokia 8 by mistake. Now I replaced with the correct one.

I can confirm it works. BUT. My widgets from home screen disappeared and there is no way to add them (long press does nothing). Nor can I long-press on apps in the drawer to delete/add to the home screen.
I do not know if this is TWRP issue, or root or I did anything else to do that, but it doesn't work now
Installed on 7.1.1 (September's patch).
