Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

CHANGELOG for 3.0.2-0:
-Fix a bug with the input box that affected masked inputs (passwords). This fixes decrypt of full device encryption on devices that support decrypt. This bug also impacts encrypted backups. Users are highly encouraged to stop using 3.0.1 if you use encrypted backups or if you need decrypt of data in TWRP.
-Add Greek translation to some builds.
Note: As always, be sure your custom theme is up to date (or remove your custom theme) before updating TWRP.
System read only option: Devices that ship with 5.0 and higher as their initial OS are using block level OTA updates. With this style of OTA update, the update script checks to see if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. Further, the script also usually runs an SHA sum of the entire system partition to detect if any changes have been made. If any changes have been made, the OTA update will refuse to install. Since not all OEMs and devices have factory images available, we have created a new feature in TWRP that detects if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. If not, you will be prompted asking if you want TWRP to mount system as read/write. If you choose not to allow TWRP to mount as read/write, TWRP won’t prompt to install SuperSU and TWRP won’t try to patch the stock ROM to prevent TWRP from being replaced by stock recovery. The goal of this option is to hopefully allow the user to make a raw system image backup that they can use to get back to a state where they can take OTA updates again.
resize2fs feature: On some devices like the Nexus 6, the factory images include a userdata image that is the proper size only for the 32GB units. If you flash the factory image to a 64GB Nexus 6, the data partition will appear as if it only has the free space of a 32GB device. Using the resize2fs option, TWRP can resize your data partition to take up the full space available. The resize2fs may also be useful to resize system partitions on devices where custom ROM system images don’t take up the full partition space. Lastly, resize2fs may be useful in some cases to reserve the proper space at the end of a data partition for a full disk encryption key, should your partition be formatted incorrectly for some reason.
This new version also marks our first set of full builds using our new jenkins build server. You can track the progress of builds at https://jenkins.twrp.me and we have taken additional steps to make it easier for device maintainers to step up and submit patches to our gerrit server at https://gerrit.twrp.me to help us keep devices up to date and working.
DOWNLOAD:

Can someone post a detailed instruction please? I followed the TWRP instructions but kept getting stuck on "waiting for devices" on fastboot. I tried several different drivers suggested in other threads but none worked for me
@AndroPlus Do we need an unlocked bootloader for this?
Yes we do.
@AndroPlus, please maybe you can give some hint. I unlocked the bootloader (worked), when I installed TWRP with fastboot and the installation seemed to be sucessful, but I cant boot into TWRP. During boot I'm pressing vol+, but nothing happens. Even the LED shows no light during boot. What I did wrong or what can I do to boot into TWRP?
edit: problem solved I installed your kernel with: sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
and now I can boot into TWRP and LED during boot shows light. Seems to be a really great kernel.

1. Turn your device off.
2. At the same time, press the Power button and Volume down until your device vibrates.
3. Quickly release the Power button, but keep pressing Volume down (5 sec or more).

Thanks a lot for your great amazing efforts @AndroPlus, is there any need to unlock the bootloader prior to rooting or flashing TWRP? And if yes, is it simply booting into fastboot and running the command "fastboot oem unlock" or enabling it from the Developer Options?

You have to enable oem unlock in developer options and run "fastboot oem unlock", then flash my custom kernel.
Because of strict security, we have to edit kernel to disable sony_ric and dm-verity to root if you want to custom /system.
If you can use system-less SuperSU you don't need to flash custom kernel.
Restore bug?
I just restored my backup and IMEI was gone. So the backup as such works fine besides the IMEI. Consequently I couldn't connect to the mobile network. I had to flashtool the original rom and restart the whole process.
Anyone else experienced such a problem?
I've repacked the 250 stock kernel with everything (except twrp, indeed). I use your recovery, and it works fine so far. But from system, I can't boot into twrp directly (e. g. from Titanium Backup or NeoPowerMenu).
For any help thanks in advance!
Hi, I flashed the twrp.img, but when I tried wipe or install rom to xperia XZ, I got can't unmount system, 'device or resource busy' error. Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks

No boot in recovery
Problem: Unlock done and OK, flashed TWRP and OK. But I cannot boot in TWRP. Not with buttons, not with adb. I see only the message, that my device is unlocked.... The LED ist dark.
Today I flashed the kernel v4 and Ok, flashed TWRP again and ok, same result. No boot in recovery. Only the f***in message that my device is unlocked, Firmware is..... . 260 and a German xz single Sim.
Any Idea? Sorry for my poor English.

CHANGELOG for 2.6.3.0:
-Proper backup and restore of SELinux contexts (thanks to Tassadar)
-Pull in some ROM information for backup name generation
-Merge all recent patches from AOSP bringing TWRP up to date with Android 4.3
-Add 1200x1920 theme (thanks to Tassadar)
-A few other fixes and tweaks
CHANGELOG for 2.6.1.0:
-Initial SELinux support (only a few devices, need testers so come by IRC if your device doesn't have it and needs it)
-Initial support for f2fs file system formatting (Moto X)
-Update SuperSU install for 4.3 ROMs
-Fixed a permissions bug on files created during backup
-Fixed a bug that caused TWRP to not wait for compressed backups to finish causing 0 byte files and md5sums to not match
-Fixed decryption of encrypted data so that both TouchWiz and AOSP decryption are possible
-Ignore lost+found folder during backup and size calculations
-Various other minor bug fixes and tweaks
CHANGELOG for 2.6.0.0:
Special Note: If you are running a custom theme, you will likely need to remove that theme before updating to 2.6.0.0 as your custom theme will likely not have some of the new changes visible (e.g. you won't be able to encrypt a backup)!
-Can encrypt a backup to prevent theft of private data from your backup files
-Updated graphics / icon courtesy of shift
-Updated exFAT to latest commits
-Fixed a problem with Samsung TouchWiz decryption
-Update SuperSU binary
-Fixed saving of backup partitions list
-Fixed saving of last used zip install folder
-Fixed backup of datadata on devices that use a separate partition for datadata
-Fixed some issues with the advanced wipe list (android_secure, can now wipe internal storage on data/media deivces and wipe data on the advanced list no longer formats the entire data partition)
-Fixed some problems with partitioning a SD card
-Various other bug fixes and tweaks
Notes about encrypted backups:
Why encrypt your backups? -- Most people store their backups on the device. Any app that has permission to access storage could potentially read your backup files and try to harvest your data. Encrypted backups also provide an added layer of security if you move your backups to other storage devices or to the cloud. The encryption that we're using is probably not strong enough for enterprise level security, but should be strong enough to make it significantly difficult to get to your data.
Encryption is using OpenAES which uses AES 128-bit cbc encryption. If you happen to use a longer password (over 16 characters) then the encryption strength improves to 192 or 256 bits. Do not forget your password. If you forget your password you will be unable to restore your backup. We don't encrypt the entire backup. Encryption is very CPU intensive and can be fairly slow even when we spread the workload over multiple cores even on the latest high-end devices. To ensure that encrypted backups don't take forever, we don't encrypt any other partitions besides /data and in /data we don't encrypt /data/app (or other app related directories where apks are stored) and we don't encrypt dalvik cache.
DISCLAIMER:
I nor anyone else is responsible for what you do to your device.
but if something goes wrong I will do my best to help
Download:
TWRP 2.6.3.1 V510 Palman
How to flash:
Since this is a GPE Tab simply boot your device into fastboot. Easiest way is to do adb reboot bootloader.
Once booted into the bootloader simply issue this command:
fastboot flash recovery palman.img
Once done reboot into recovery and you should be greeted with TWRP.
CREDITS:
@Dees_Troy and team win for this wonderful recovery
Confirmed working on GPE version.
Unlocok bootloader and flash recovery or you can just do "fastboot boot palman.img" and it will boot in recovery without flashing it (so you get to keep stock recovery in case you need to run an OTA later).
Hi
I get the message "Waiting for the device", so how get the device in fastboot mode?
Thanks

Sorry for the dumb question, but where do I get the drivers for the GPE? I used Dalingrin's easy root script for the LGE, but "adb shell" doesn't work with that minimal adb, so I'm assuming I need to grab a different driver?
UPDATE: Still looking for the drivers. I downloaded the latest ADT and had it install the Google USB Driver, but still neither "adb shell" nor "fastboot devices" works properly. Just to answer the obvious question, yes, I've enabled USB Debugging in Developer Options. Any thoughts on how I can get past this hurdle so that I can get to a point where I can root a GPE device?
UPDATE 2: Okay, I figured it out and have GPE all nice and rooted now! Basically just follow the instructions to root a Nexus 5 but use the recovery image on this thread and you should be golden!
The 4.4.2 update just hit my GPE running this recovery and it failed to install saying:
This package is for "palman" devices; this is a "v 500".

I think you can do this two ways, flash back to the stock recovery, or just run the stock recovery once from the bootloader. Flashing back to the stock recovery is probably the safest option, however I have an idea if you don't want to have to go back and forth.
Disclaimer, I'm an NOT expert with this so it may not work.....
Ok, for either option you'll need the stock recovery. You can download it from HERE (Stolen from AutoPrime's post).
I recommend putting the update ZIP and recovery image file in a folder of your root path (for me "C:\android\")
Here's my idea, have fastboot just boot the stock recovery once.
Make sure ADB debugging is enabled in "Developer Options"
Connect your USB cable and run
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Your tablet should reboot and your should see the bootloader screen, once you see the screen run
Code:
fastboot boot C:\android\17-recovery.img
fastboot should show you progress indicator and once it is finished your tablet should see a red exclamation mark. press the power button and then the vol. up button. This should show options 1. Reboot System 2. ADB Sideload, use the volume keys to select adb sideload then press the power key to select.
then
Code:
adb sideload C:\android\a0bd45922b5958a38acef76f577f527268ef90db.signed-KRT16O.L004_user-KOT49H.L004_user_update.zip
I think it will work, not sure if it will keep TWRP or overwrite it. Like I said earlier, I'm not an expert.

OTA updates are not working with a custom recovery like twrp. Either flash back to stock or wait for the developers to compile and release the updates as zip packages that you can flash from the custom recovery menu. Look what a developer said about this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48150524&postcount=31
I flashed TWRP after applying the latest OTA 4.4.2, and now it won't boot - just reboots into TWRP and has all kinds of errors about not being able to mount /data.
Any ideas for recovering from this?

What can we do right now to try to sort this out? I've also started http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48593224 to help with the recovery process, which I'm sure folks will find useful in the future.

I have an idea, looking at your screenshot it looks like a similar error that occurred on the N5 and TWRP early on after unlocking the bootloader...After you updated 4.4.2 and then did fastboot oem unlock, did you let the tab boot up? Because after you do that it sets a flag to format the system ext4 on first boot, if you flash a recovery before that happens and boot into recovery first you get errors....do this in recovery delete the file .twrps in /sdcard/TWRP use the file manager advanced...this is the TWRP settings file, once you do that then try to reboot system.
The problem is /sdcard/TWRP/ is completely empty. There are no files in there. I even checked using shell and ls -al.
And yeah, I didn't let it reboot after unlocking.
I actually have a replacement en route from Google to address a yellow tinted display. I think I'll wait until that gets here, let it update to 4.4.2, and then go through this process on that device.
sorry, how do you open the recovery?

I'm probably earlier in the process than you @Archon810. I have similar issues have a decreasing feeling that I will solve this any time soon. At this point, if I fastboot boot the recovery palman.img and try to install the noroot V510 zip image provided, I get the binary link error which was present on my Nexus 7 on twrp for awhile. I backleleveled the twrp to 2.6.3.0 on the Nexus 7 and this stopped that problem. More seriously, after all the stuff I've done to fix things, I fear I have probably borked things more than fixed them.
Now after any attempt at flashing anything in recovery whether I install the recovery or just boot from it, the result is binary file error.
Going to try restoring the default image and doing things again.

Official TWRP App
Mar 11, 2017
Official TWRP App
The official TWRP app is the first and only first-party app developed by Team Win for TWRP. Please bear with us as we work to fix any bugs and build out the features. The initial version of the app does not support flashing on the Pixel due to the Pixel's A/B partition layout. In addition, the app may not support finding and flashing images from external storage locations. We are working hard to improve these items and bring you more new features.
Download Links:
We recommend downloading the app from the Play Store.
If you do not have Play Store access, you may download the Official TWRP App here: https://dl.twrp.me/twrpapp/
How do I use the app?
When you first open the app, you will be greeted by a few options. First, you will need to agree not to hold us responsible for anything that happens to your device while using the app. You may also grant the app root permissions. The app will work without root, but some functionality like image flashing will be disabled. Lastly, you can opt into enabling InsightCore (more on this feature later).
Once you have passed this initial screen, you will be greeted with the app home screen where you can choose TWRP FLASH or NETWORK STATISTICS (more on the network statistics later). On the TWRP FLASH screen you will need to select a device. Once you have selected a device, the app will periodically check for new TWRP versions for the device that you have selected. The default interval is once per day, but you can tap on the settings icon in the upper-right to change the interval or disable the update check entirely.
If you enabled root access, you will see options for selecting an image and buttons for flashing the selected image to boot or recovery. Note that you should flash TWRP images to recovery. The boot image flashing is for flashing full boot images (not just kernel zImages) and should not be used for flashing TWRP.
Update 17/4/2017
TWRP 3.1.0-1 MM build released.
Current status: BETA
Features:
MTP working
ADB working
SEANDROID warning fix
TWRP and Kernel built from latest source
Factory Image flashing(see below)
NTFS support
F2FS support >> To be added
Twrp app support
New feature available in TWRP v3 is system image backup and restore and factory image flashing (see TWRP changelog for details)
Basically this means factory images from the official firmware can now be flashed with TWRP instead of ODIN. I have extended this feature to include BOOT, RECOVERY, SYSTEM, CACHE, HIDDEN and RADIO(MODEM) partitions.
This feature can be found under INSTALL >> INSTALL IMAGE >> select image to flash >> select partition.
NOTE: To flash the modem, first it needs to be renamed to modem.bin.img
You flash this at your own risk. Please ensure you have the stock ROM to hand downloaded from SAMMOBILE in case of problems. This will trip the knox counter.
How we got here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...w-time-to-getting-support-a8-2016-sm-t3511148
Instructions:
Flash with ODIN 3.10.7.
Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.
Uncheck Auto reboot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
After flashing and ODIN reports PASS immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.
As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME.
You should now see TWRP recovery.
NOTE: ON SOME ANDROID 5.1.1/6.0 DEVICES IT IS NECESSARY TO GO TO:
Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking
AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.
DOWNLOAD:
TWRP: twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-a810f_17417
To Root:
Flash the latest SuperSU release with TWRP:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133/
To disable forced encryption and mount internal storage:
(Note this MUST be flashed after SuperSU if you intend to root)
1. Boot to Twrp
2. Format Data partition using FORMAT DATA button under Wipe options.
(Note: This will wipe the internal storage)

Awesome work dear if i able to buy a beer for you i must buy it
First, thanks boss @ashyx for great work. If you remember, I was first who asked yoi for twrp for this good phone. In meantime I bought it, and you make twrp. I tried it immediately and got this results :
Maybe it is important that I first done ota to newest offered AQA1 update.
Than odin flash twrp. All ok. Reboot to it and format data from wipe menu.
Hot error cant mount pcifs (maybe different name, I forgot, I can see again sorry).
Then flash supersu and patch and got same error, pcifs?
Root is working perfect but mount not. I back in twrp and see mount, it sees data. But tried some twrp install zip and got same error. And no app.
So obviously it is not mounted good...
Is there solution?
Thanks biggest

It's a protected partition so it can't mount. I should just remove it from the fstab.
You can just ignore it.
Thanks boss, so this is 100,% functional terp I can totally believe in backups and everything else?

Official TWRP App
Mar 11, 2017
Official TWRP App
The official TWRP app is the first and only first-party app developed by Team Win for TWRP. Please bear with us as we work to fix any bugs and build out the features. The initial version of the app does not support flashing on the Pixel due to the Pixel's A/B partition layout. In addition, the app may not support finding and flashing images from external storage locations. We are working hard to improve these items and bring you more new features.
Download Links:
We recommend downloading the app from the Play Store.
If you do not have Play Store access, you may download the Official TWRP App here: https://dl.twrp.me/twrpapp/
How do I use the app?
When you first open the app, you will be greeted by a few options. First, you will need to agree not to hold us responsible for anything that happens to your device while using the app. You may also grant the app root permissions. The app will work without root, but some functionality like image flashing will be disabled. Lastly, you can opt into enabling InsightCore (more on this feature later).
Once you have passed this initial screen, you will be greeted with the app home screen where you can choose TWRP FLASH or NETWORK STATISTICS (more on the network statistics later). On the TWRP FLASH screen you will need to select a device. Once you have selected a device, the app will periodically check for new TWRP versions for the device that you have selected. The default interval is once per day, but you can tap on the settings icon in the upper-right to change the interval or disable the update check entirely.
If you enabled root access, you will see options for selecting an image and buttons for flashing the selected image to boot or recovery. Note that you should flash TWRP images to recovery. The boot image flashing is for flashing full boot images (not just kernel zImages) and should not be used for flashing TWRP.
Update 12/4/2017
TWRP 3.1.0-1 MM build released.
Current status: BETA
NOTE: THIS IS CURRENTLY IN THE TESTING STAGE, THERE MAYBE BUGS, IT MAY NOT BOOT AT ALL. I DON'T OWN THIS DEVICE. I CAN'T FIX ISSUES IF PEOPLE DON'T POST RECOVERY LOGS OR PROPERLY DESCRIBE THE ISSUE. STOCK RECOVERY IS PROVIDED BELOW IF NEEDED.
Features:
MTP working > to be confirmed
ADB working > to be confirmed
SEANDROID warning fix
TWRP and Kernel built from latest source
Factory Image flashing(see below)
NTFS support
F2FS support >> To be added
Twrp app support
New feature available in TWRP v3 is system image backup and restore and factory image flashing (see TWRP changelog for details)
Basically this means factory images from the official firmware can now be flashed with TWRP instead of ODIN. I have extended this feature to include BOOT, RECOVERY, SYSTEM, CACHE, HIDDEN and RADIO(MODEM) partitions.
This feature can be found under INSTALL >> INSTALL IMAGE >> select image to flash >> select partition.
NOTE: To flash the modem, first it needs to be renamed to modem.bin.img
Issues:
Current versions of SuperSU seem to be incompatible.
You flash this at your own risk. Please ensure you have the stock ROM to hand downloaded from SAMMOBILE in case of problems. This will trip the knox counter.
Instructions:
Flash with ODIN 3.10.7.
Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.
Uncheck Auto reboot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
After flashing and ODIN reports PASS immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.
As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME.
You should now see TWRP recovery.
NOTE: ON SOME ANDROID 5.1.1/6.0 DEVICES IT IS NECESSARY TO GO TO:
Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking
AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.
DOWNLOAD:
TWRP: twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-a720f_12417
Stock recovery: A720FXXU1AQC5_stock_recovery

To disable forced encryption and mount internal storage (/DATA):
1. Boot to Twrp
2. Format Data partition using FORMAT DATA button under Wipe options.
(Note: This will wipe the internal storage)
3. Check DATA is mountable.
4. Install root (if root is required)
5. Install boot image patch below.
6. Reboot

I've got magisk already but I'll try to flash this and report back with the recovery log.
Off topic question though,
Has there been any successful attempt at removing the knox counter on new samsung phones (S7, A2017, C2017 etc..)?

No, it can't be done. This is one thing that Samsung make sure of. I've seen certain websites and procedures claiming they can, but I know of no recent Samsung device that can be reset.
@ashyx will you make a version for the A5?
@ashyx
Ok, I've been reading and watching videos on Magisk, which I have never heard of before, so now I have a more informed opinion of it. It's interesting, but there definitely are some red flags, particularly with version 12 (as per reviewers). I might give it a shot, even though I still think SuperSU is more reliable and stable.
As for the patched SuperSU, was it patched by Chainfire or by you?

Lol. It's not about that, I just like to be well informed. Among other things, now I know, for example, that when Chainfire updates its app (say, to 2.80), the ZIP might still be unflashable, due to the patched version being yours, not theirs, thus, rendering their official download page pretty much useless to A7 users.
I don't have a Windows device, so I'll update you when I can.
Thanks.

Yeah, none at all. I always have to go to a lanhouse, or ask someone to use theirs.
Unfortunately, we still need Windows for a lot of things, even when we don't want/have it anymore. Hopefully someday you guys will create methods where neither root nor Odin are needed to flash custom recoveries.
Oh, and I reinstalled the stock ROM when SU failed, so that's why.
See you soon.
@ashyx
Hmm.. I tried flashing the patched SuperSU but the same thing happens. It automatically reboots at "extracting files". Guess I can't provide a useful recovery.log
I restored back to my old root and I just recently discovered that magisk has some downloadable modules. Some worked but the xposed sdk23 87.1 says its been installed but doesn't appear on the modules and rebooting doesn't do a thing. I guess, help?
@moistcity
Because you're already rooted, you can probably install the Xposed sdk (if you have a Samsung, get the patched sdk, by Wanam, to avoid bootloops) directly (via TWRP) and then the Xposed installer (manager) on Android.
As for making it work within Magisk, @ashyx might know, I can't help you there as I am yet to try and know Magisk firsthand. I don't know if Magisk (modules segment) and Xposed installer can coexist, but you never know ('til you know).
Try installing the Xposed installer and see if the module you installed from Magisk shows up on the former.
Assuming they can coexist (and flashing the sdk via TWRP on a device with Magisk won't trigger bootloops), you can just install Xposed the traditional way then, unless you absolutely want the Magisk module to work. Before doing the traditional method, look up for information on coexistence, before risking it.
Will it work for A7 - SMA700FD ??

TWRP changelog : Here
Working/Bugs : Need to press power button two times for touch to work
Please do read the installation guide note !
IMPORTANT NOTE :
1. At first boot twrp will ask for "Swipe to allow modifications for /system" and if you choose to allow it system partition will get modified. So if you choose to reboot back to OS without performing anything in twrp, the OS won't boot (as verity check is enabled in stock OS/kernel) . To avoid this you have to flash either SuperSU or flash any of the verity disabler zips there in xda
2. Encryption is enabled by default
3. If in case decryption doesn't go fine, twrp will popup a dialog box asking for password and that means decryption went wrong and you would need to wipe data once via twrp wipe options and reboot back to twrp for functioning of /data
Installation Guide :
1. Make sure you have unlocked bootloader
2. Reboot to bootloader
3. fastboot flash recovery twrp-xxxx.img (if you want permanent flash) or
fastboot boot twrp-xxxx.img (if you want temporary boot)

Last Updated 2018-02-03
I've been using this today to set up my phone fresh. I created a backup, installed stock twrp flashable rom, installed magisk, and magisk module zips all just fine.
Thanks for this.
Trying to set up my new Moto Z2 Play today.
I just unlocked the bootloader, so I'm good there. I wanted to install Magisk and leave it mostly stock. If I was going to just "fastboot boot twrp.img'' (instead of flashing) can I use this TWRP or should I just follow the instructions and use the TWRP version in this other thread?
Is this version more functional?
Would I be able to make a backup if I boot the TWRP instead of flashing?
Can I use the SD Card/internal storage with this version or do I have to still use the OTG cable and a flash drive to hold the DM Verity and Magisk ZIPs?
Hi,
I tried several times to backup my StockROM before modification, but TWRP always stuck at "Updating Partition Details". Any ideas what to do to solve this Problem? By the way, I just booted into TWRP, didn't flash it to my device. Thx

my experience is, you have to flash TWRP.
I don't think it has the necessary read/write permissions to do a full backup otherwise.

hi guys.
I successed to twrp temporary boot.
Successed to full backup (with all check).
Is it safe for permanent flash twrp right now?
p/s: After backup success, I reboot my phone and check TWRP folder but nothing here
so why?

This works when go command fastboot boot .... ?
I'm having an issue... I've successfully flashed r18, but it cannot seem to mount the data partition. It fails to mount (just hangs for a moment when you check the box next to data), fails to wipe (Could not mount/data and unable to find crypto footer... Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)).
Never mind... I just tried it a 3rd time and it worked. Not sure what's going on there.
**OK** Now, I've flashed the Unofficial LOS and OpenGapps from the thread by OP, following all instructions, and the phone boots to recovery every time I try to boot to system...
Recent success, z2 Play XT1710-06
Just to add to the success stories: A newly-purchased Moto z2 Play, variant XT1710-06 dual SIM, Android 7.1.1, RETLA release channel, build NPSS26.118-19-1-6. My object was to install root only, not (at this time) do any custom ROM flashes.
With this in mind: I used TWRP-3.2.1-0(Albus) after doing the initial bootloader unlock. Quirks noted during install was that I needed to repeat the 'fastboot flash recovery' option 3-4 times to get TWRP to stay put in the 'recovery' partition. Also, as an experiment, I tried renaming the TWRP image to 'recovery.img' (which seems to help).
Once TWRP was in place, I downloaded and installed the most current Magisk (v16). It worked perfectly, the first time, no issues at all (and it even knew to install its management app on its own). Despite my initial leanings, I chose not to try SuperSU due mainly to the developer changes at Chainfire HD (original developer retired, product bought up by some unnamed Chinese group).
Now I get to reinstall all my apps... (sigh). Such is the price of getting the phone we Really Want...
I hope this makes life easier for others.
Keep the peace(es).

Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) is an open-source software custom recovery image for Android-based devices. It provides a touchscreen-enabled interface that allows users to install third-party firmware and back up the current system, functions often unsupported by stock recovery images. It is, therefore, often installed when rooting Android devices, although it isn't dependent on a device being rooted to be installed.
Notes for themers: In addition to the udpated theme, we have introduced a theme version variable to the TWRP theme system. If the theme version does not match the version that TWRP expects, TWRP will reject the custom theme and load its stock theme. This change will ensure that people who update TWRP without updating their theme will still have a workable recovery. We have removed libjpeg support. The stock theme was only using a jpeg image for the splash / curtain. This change means that any custom themes will no longer be able to use jpeg images. It also means that tools used to repack recovery images with a different curtain / splash will need to be updated to use the new method.
Version number notes: For a while we’ve been using a 4 digit version number and reserved the 4th digit for device-specific updates. For instance, we find and fix a device-specific issue like decryption of data on Nexus 5, we would release that as a 2.8.7.1. After a while, some people would start asking where 2.8.7.1 was for other devices. So, going forward we have decided to change the numbering scheme to 3.0.0-2, etc. Our hope is that this version numbering scheme will more clearly identify that the 4th digit does not indicate a version change for the code base.
We need your help! The bulk of TWRP work is done by 3 people on a volunteer basis. We have pushed most of our device files to our github and we have a gerrit instance. If you have the ability, please help us maintain our official devices and/or add your device to our official device list. Thanks in advance!

It is, therefore, often installed when rooting Android devices, although it isn't dependent on a device being rooted to be installed.
Notes for themers: In addition to the udpated theme, we have introduced a theme version variable to the TWRP theme system. If the theme version does not match the version that TWRP expects, TWRP will reject the custom theme and load its stock theme. This change will ensure that people who update TWRP without updating their theme will still have a workable recovery. We have removed libjpeg support. The stock theme was only using a jpeg image for the splash / curtain. This change means that any custom themes will no longer be able to use jpeg images. It also means that tools used to repack recovery images with a different curtain / splash will need to be updated to use the new method.
Version number notes: For a while we’ve been using a 4 digit version number and reserved the 4th digit for device-specific updates. For instance, we find and fix a device-specific issue like decryption of data on Nexus 5, we would release that as a 2.8.7.1. After a while, some people would start asking where 2.8.7.1 was for other devices. So, going forward we have decided to change the numbering scheme to 3.0.0-2, etc. Our hope is that this version numbering scheme will more clearly identify that the 4th digit does not indicate a version change for the code base.
We need your help! The bulk of TWRP work is done by 3 people on a volunteer basis. We have pushed most of our device files to our github and we have a gerrit instance. If you have the ability, please help us maintain our official devices and/or add your device to our official device list. Thanks in advance!

can you please clarify what is mean "Permanent Installer"?
1) is this TWRP universal for any Android9 version? does not require exactly version?
2) is persistend after OTA update?
i ask because N7p don't have separate recovery partition and use hybrid boot for boot+recovery, this TWRP is not in boot partition?

yes, This installer will unpack your boot.img from your current rom , and patch the twrp in it and repack it.
it works on almost all pie roms . have problem on oreo gsi .
and i think.. as long as boot partition is not affected by ota (which most of the times is affected ) twrp will persist. other wise u have to repatch your boot.img with this installer.

Good work, sir.
By the way, does it have format data to f2fs support? TWRP images for this device out there doesn't have.
Lot of warnings in recovery.log
Thanks for making this!
I'm getting lots of warnings like this one:
Code:
WARNING: linker: Warning: couldn't read "/system/etc/ld.config.txt" for "/sbin/busybox" (using default configuration instead): error reading file "/system/etc/ld.config.txt": Too many symbolic links encountered
Should I be worried about TWRP correct functioning?
Busybox seems to be all well and good though!

Hi, thanks for this.
But after I fastboot boot the twrp boot img, all the folder names in TWRP are strange, like they're encrypted. How do I get around this?
Read step 3 in the OP. You have to format data.
I've found that using another twrp image to boot (not flash) it decrypts the data by asking the pattern I've set up in the os.
Now I want to ask the dev @nageen9211 if he can use that image to make this script.

Thanks for the reply - actually I tried the OP originally, but formatting data got rid of my google play services as well, and I couldn't use my phone at all as a result, because a popup saying "google play services stopped working"/"google battery saver had stopped working" kept popping up repeatedly.
I had to reflash using OST and start over again. Which is why I was interested in another method without formatting data
Unless there is a way around fixing the Google Play services issue after formatting data?
