[RECOVERY][swift] Unofficial TWRP 3.1.1-0 touch recovery [2017-10-24] - Asus ZenWatch 3

DEPRECATED because I don't have the watch anymore. Might still work, might also not. Feel free to just try and iterate on my work.

This is TWRP touch recovery for the Asus Zenwatch 3.
Usual disclaimer:
Code:
[I] I take no responsibility for any issues to your watch, your house, your job, your kitten, blah blah.[/I]
DON'T ALLOW TWRP TO MODIFY /SYSTEM IF YOU DIDN'T DISABLE DM-CRYPT! Recovery will then get overwritten on every boot though.
INSTRUCTIONS
It's recommended to boot it via "fastboot boot twrp_swift_*.img".
To flash, use the default "fastboot flash recovery twrp_swift_*.img". To boot into recovery, use adb or hold center and bottom button when off. Everything is tested to work fine.
If you want to return to stock recovery, flash recovery image from here.[/SIZE]

Thanks a lot to @joeykrim and @T10NAZ, I used their Zenwatch 2 thread as a guide to compile the kernel and recovery.

This is interesting to see, I don't own a ZenWatch 3, but I'm curious how this would work. Would it be possible to flash custom ROMs on a watch? Maybe even port over Android 2.0 for the ZenWatch 3? Just curious how this would work on a watch.

To see something like this on a watch I must say you guys and everyone involved are truly awesome

Thank you!
I flashed a SuperSU zip file and the flash process worked well. Still root is not working because the SuperSU app crashes everytime something needs root rights...

Which SuperSU.zip did you flash? Remember not every SuperSU.zip are compatible with Android wear. I am a bit out of time ..will try to play with root in my kernel.

Sorry for the late response, I didn`t flash it I just booted it. But I`ve sent the watch back and got a Gear S3 instead now.

No prob, I already tested myself and flashing worked fine.

Thanks, can't wait to see other development stuff to follow too. Anybody tried to root through the recovery ?

I just updated the recovery to TWRP 3.1.0, grab the image from OP.

Latest TWRP installed and working fine. Thank you!

wokrs well!
Thank you
Now running :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenwatch-3/development/rom-asus-zenwatch-3-swift-t3537340

I added TWRP 3.1.1-0 to the OP, built on latest Nougat kernel from git and with latest TWRP sources in 7.1 tree. Enjoy!

is there an repair option for the partitions like there is in a stock TWRP? I do not see it. I am having some issues with my watch, one of which is that I am unable to mount /data, which is normally fixed with the repair option under the advanced wipe menu, but I do not see that option here. Please help.
Here is a link to the full issues I am experiencing.

Have you tried to "FORMAT DATA" in TWRP?
If not then go to the WIPE option in twrp and
select "format data" then you will be ready
to flash a zip file rom or IMG files.
Most likely your DATA partition is "encrypted"
which means the watch cannot successfully
complete a rom installation because it cannot
write to the data partition.
Wiping DATA is fine if your DATA partition is
not encrypted.
Good luck, have a great day!

I do not see a "format data" option under wipe in TWRP on my zenwatch when i go to wipe i have either factory reset, or advanced wipe.
If i go to advanced wipe, and then select data, and slide to wipe, it says "unable to mount storage " "updating partition details..." "Failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)" "...done" "unable to mount storage"

I have a problem with my ZW3: I unlockt the bootloader and booted into TWRP 3.1.1.0 (via fastboot, did not install it).
I wanted to transfer a ROM on my watch, but did not find a way to do it. So I rebooted the system.
But now everytime I want to boot into (stock) recovery (on the watch) I get the android droid with a exclamation mark. Is there a recovery image I can flash to solve this?
How do I transfer files on my watch? I don't see the device on my pc in the list (adb and fastboot work fine).
EDIT: Found a file here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ze...stock-zenwatch-3-partition-dump-boot-t3535589
Do I have to flash all three files (system, boot and recovery) in order to get recovery back?
EDIT 2: When I boot the recovery from the file above via fastboot I also get the droid with the exclamation mark.

@Der-Knuffi
Go into fastboot and flash all 3 of the image files (recovery.img, boot.img and system.img)
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot oem lock
When your done flashing reboot the watch.
The watch will boot into official stock Android Wear 1.5, have patience it takes a long time to boot.
Good luck, have a great day!

I have tested on dual-sim device (Taiwanese model) but single-sim devices, need volunteer to test it.
In this situation TWRP will request password, stock BOOT and boot into android once, in the meanwhile userdata will be encrypted.
BUT you won't do nothing if you flash TWRP, just format the userdata and install SuperSU, encryption doesn't matter anymore.
OK thx. So, you tried it with the DualSim version. That's great. But I don't know how to stock Boot and boot into Android? Can you help me with that? Thx a lot.

Do I have to root before I upgrade to the latest Android? 2.18.401.3
I have tried this and as soon as I install twrp the phone is soft bricked. It does not even start if I reinstall stock recovery.
Edit:
I tried again but this time I skipped this part:
0x03 Format Data
Wipe -> Format Data -> type yes to format data
Rooted and not soft bricked.
hello, when I wrote adb devices, it show for me 2 devices, one is htc and one is emulator, so how I can choose my device htc ?
please advice.
Now I use magisk.
I downgraded my phone to 2.17.401.1 (with RUU) and then updated via ota to 2.23.401.1.
Then installed TWRP. From there I installed all three files from the links in the magisk section. Booted into recovery and installed the two zip-files, this time I had to format data to be able to install.
When booted I installed magisk manager from my download directory and Phils superuser app from play store.
Checked root with Root checker to confirm.

[ROM] Oxygen OS 3.2.5 untouched system.img + boot.img (twrp + fastboot)

If someone wants to make mirrors or a flashable zip, feel free to contact me and I will update thread
I've got my new OP3 today and what I've noticed that it runs with Oxygen OS 3.2.5. So I have looked around and saw that nobody backed up their 3.2.5 und uploaded it so I decided to do it.
Here is the download link: https://mega.nz/#!PJhzRDyL!wX12zmq9ptiu8gNbtfQfypB2Q6wGdu3IfNFFwi9acQk
The only requirement is an unlocked bootloader as fastboot doesn't allow to flash on locked devices
How to install:
via twrp:
- boot into twrp recovery
- press "install"
- press "install image" on the bottom right
- select the image and confirm on which partition it should flash
(not recommended) via fastboot:
- boot into fastboot
- use these commands to flash it:
ignore the little warning message and pe patient because it can take a while till you get a response from cmd because fastboot splits the image into 6 parts
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Note: if your phone isn't booting, flash supersu and it should boot.

Im on 3.2.5 now so yes its working, but only with TWRP

It did extract without any issues on my end.
I downloaded and extracted the file on my PC with the latest winrar.
EDIT:
Worked as described in the first post.
I flashed both files, followed by the latest SuperSU 2.78 and Xposed,
then did a reboot.
All works well!
So, I will not lose my data, right?

Then there is probably no way to install this to your device, as a user already said that using fastboot does not work.
I also think that your bootloader should be unlocked for this to work.

So basically you should have unlocked bootloader, supersued, and TWRP'ed

SuperSU is not needed, why should it be? With this you overwrite the whole System partition, thus removing all mods including SuperSU and Xposed.
waiting for someone to confirm the LTE issue resolution.. if it's resolved, I'll flash this ASAP..

Pick your brain for a moment if you don't mind...
Still having issues with both methods... in TWRP, at the install image screen i'm only getting boot and recovery partition options, supposed to have system too right?
Fastboot it hangs for a moment at an error of something about invalid sparsing but continues to flash, apparently successfully, but when i reboot system it just boots back to recovery.

This tool cant directly root your phone, but it can unlock your bootloader and help you to flash a twrp. If you want to root your phone you can flash twrp and then flash the root zip through twrp
Bootloader successfully unlocked
I´ve also flashed this Chinese TWRP with your tool due to my eagerness
and finally rooted with Magisk

Yes, i don't know if there are a supersu specific version must be flashed, but yes, unlock the bootloader, flash the twrp and then flash supersu or magisk. I don't know if you need to disable dm-verity before reboot but i think yes
was impatient... and got everything working... unlocked, TWRP recovery, and then Magisk rooted. woot woot.!!
now hopefully there is a working xposed

You are the first until now. To flash the twrp you need to have an internet connection, because the tool before download the recovery and then flash it. If you have made all of this try to delete the downloaded recovery and flash it again (maybe the download has failed). To delete the downloaded recovery you need to go in the advanced options and use the "Delete Files" (top right of the page) button to delete what you want (in this case you need only to delete TWRP recoveries). Tell me if you solve

Someone said that TWRP will only survive for one reboot. I've flashed yesterday that Chinese TWRP and rooted with Magisk. My experience is that TWRP will stay. I've booted today three times into TWRP. Everything seems to be as normal as it should be.

Perfect so the problem is another one. When the twrp is booted for the first time it automatically delete or hide the stock recovery so if you flash the twrp and you boot directly from fastboot to twrp, the twrp will survive but if you flash the twrp and power one normally the phone the stock recovery will be restored. So when you flash the twrp, directly boot in it, from the tool you need to check "And boot it" option to boot it directly after flash.

You are the first until now. To flash the twrp you need to have an internet connection, because the tool before download the recovery and then flash it. If you have made all of this try to delete the downloaded recovery and flash it again (maybe the download has failed). To delete the downloaded recovery you need to go in the advanced options and use the "Delete Files" (top right of the page) button to delete what you want (in this case you need only to delete TWRP recoveries). Tell me if you solve

I can not install TWRP?

I have a weird issue with TWRP that I cannot seem to resolve.
I have a 4GB Mix on the latest MIUI (China Stable). Bootloader is unlocked and I followed all the steps to got successfully TWRP loaded onto my device and i can come right in to it.
If i restart the device and use volume+ and power TWRP isn't there. Only the stock recovery from MIUI.
I tried the tutorial here on XDA and this one ''en.miui.com/thread-500625-1-1.html"
Is there someone who can help me please?
Many Thanks from the Nederlands!

I guess you jumped from Samsung, didn't you? Because i remember that you manually have to reboot into recovery at the first time(right after flashing the twrp via odin). So you need to do it from fastboot on Xiaomi(afaik). Just flash the twrp and enter this code in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-blabla.img

Hi,
i have a package updated for Mix...
I made quick *.bat command to easily flash what i need...
Try OEM unlock tool (bat file) before trying to flash TWRP...
Be sure to have ADB device found in first line and be in fastboot mode !!

Nope... power and Vol - or + need make the job or you can install xposed and add a module MIUI Extended Reboot...

Thanks for your reply.
No, Power and Vol + i get MI-Recovery 3.0 (main menu) and if i use Power and vol - than i get fastboot mode.
So I now have two recovery's on my device. Is that possible? (TWRP and MI Recovery)
I think i have found the problem..
I've installed TWRP in fastboot mode. I've used ''fastboot boot twrpmrraines.img'' to get into TWRP the first time and i have tried to flash TWRP as recovery.
Now I get the following error message ''error opening: / sdcard'' So there seems to be an error with the sd card i think?
Nope Recovery and fastboot mode are different.... Recovery is used to backup, mount and flash ROM, Mod and various ZIP, IMG files...
Fastboot Mode is used to flash, push, IMG, APK, and sometimes ROM if you use Fastboot method...
Anyway, check in recovery if u can repair sdcard... in wipe feature, DO NOT WIPE, choose REPAIR / Advanced/etc......

Can not select sdcard if I click on ''Repair or Change File System'' If I go to Wipe-Advanced Wipe I must select: Dalvik, system, data, internal storage, cache or usb otg. There is no sdcard.

mount read only can be fixed by go to Mounting and check/uncheck read only system and recheck system...

Man, my point was your installed twrp may have got an issue. If it has issue, that's normal can't flash something anything. Use fastboot to flash another twrp as usual.

I flashed 4 different TWRP files. Nothing will works.

[RESOLVED] Bricked after flashing firmware for Pie, stuck in md5 checksum bootloop

Hello,
I post here after 12 hours of continuous search and attempts at fixing things on my own, which may have dug me deeper into trouble than if I've asked for a tailored solution to this issue. Apologies for repetitiveness if I've failed to find answers elsewhere.
I was running LOS 15.1 with custom kernel and maybe the 5.0.8 firmware or lower. I don't recall the version.
In an attempt to flash LOS 16.0, I performed a nandroid backup, but didn't back up my internal storage. That was stupid of me
I grabbed all the files needed, and started by flashing the firmware version stated in the flashing guide for LOS 16., which was 9 point something.
Phone bricked, blank screen.
Got hold of a factory reset tool from an unbrick guide here, followed their steps to completion despite repeated failures in the MSMDownloader.
Now my phone boots in fastboot mode only, adb on PC neither can detect nor interact with the phone, and it is stuck in a md5 checksum bootloop with "modem" and "dsp" in the red, and all attempts to boot into recovery lead back to the md5 checksum screen.
On fastboot mode, "Bootloader version" and "baseband version" are both blank.
This is all I know to provide at the moment. If there is any way to salvage the phone with the internal storage intact, I would prefer that please. But I won't look a gift horse in the mouth at this point if I ultimately have to wipe everything clean to fix the phone.
bump pls
even bad news is appreciated
Even fastboot cant saw your device thru "fastboot devices"? Do your ADB drivers up-to-date?

Thank you for answering.
Fastboot can see and use the device. Flashing is possible through it.
ADB cannot. I'm not sure if it's the latest version on my PC, but I recently had the phone connected to a different PC with a recent ADB installation and the results were the same. ADB doesn't see the phone.
Hmm.. does phone in TWRP works like USB storage?
Phone fails to boot into recovery.
I flashed TWRP but it always boots into the failed md5 checksum anyway.
Recovery doesn't work.

Worth noting is that TWRP flashing causes the recovery: ok message to also read as recovery:failed.
Flashing the stock recovery that came with the unbrick tool using fastboot makes it recovery: ok

It won't boot into any recovery, stock or otherwise. Only brings up the screen pictured above.
EDIT: By "stock recovery" I mean whatever the unbrick tool had flashed into the phone using the MSMDownloader utility.
The version of OOS included in the tool is mentioned as 3.2 or some dated system. Maybe a more recent recovery might work?
I can't find a standalone, recent stock recovery image. I'd flash one if I found it.

I've already performed these steps, and the md5 problem happened after the process mentioned was completed.

Fastboot and adb will never work at the same time, by definition. If Fastboot works, you are in fastboot mode. adb only works in OS or alternately in TWRP, and will never work in fastboot mode.

You simply can't. adb will only work in OS or TWRP, period. Nothing you can do can change that fact. You're stuck with fastboot.

I can't personally think of anything. I just wanted to point out the fruitlessness of trying to use adb, so you don't waste time trying to get it to work (since it never will).

I forgot a detail in the middle of the story.
Right after I flashed the pie firmware, it restarted and I was given a prompt that said something along the lines of "Flash successful and everything, but decryption failed. You will lose all data if you boot, are you sure?"
I turned off the phone, from there it bricked with a blank screen. It was then that I got the unbrick tool and went through the rest of the earlier story.

I appreciate you reaching out and offering closure. It seems this phone is fried.
Thank you.
I got past the MD5 checksum hurdle, and I flashed TWRP. It works.
I can't access internal storage to flash anything from the phone, not even the TWRP nandroid backup, but ADB is an option again.
Decryption refuses to take my password even though it's correct.
I do have a backup of the nandroid on my PC. Could I flash that via ADB?

It would help others who get into the same situation if you post how you got passed the MD5 checksum hurdle.
If you can get into TWRP I would suggest you use the latest version 3.3.1-0 and use wipe>format data (not wipe>advanced wipe) which will clear the encryption. It will give you an ext4 data partition, which is fine. If you want to change it back to f2fs use wipe>advanced wipe to reformat it to f2fs.
I don't recommend using an unencrypted phone so my next step is to copy from your PC to the phone the ROM zip file and anything else you need to flash. I would flash the full OOS zip and let it boot up as this will automatically encrypt your data. It will also replace TWRP with the stock recovery but you can flash TWRP again using fastboot. You can then go back to TWRP and set things up the way you want, including restoring the backup you have.

Thank you for dropping by.
Regarding the couple of errors in the MD5 checksum, "modem" and "dsp", the problem lied in that I didn't know which files I'm supposed to flash using fastboot to fill their spots.
By referring to the forum post of the firmware here, I found one workaround was to "consult META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script in the flashable zip of the firmware ... to check which file from the firmware-update directory goes to which partition."
From there, I inferred that "modem" takes the file named NON-HLOS.bin, and that "dsp" takes adspso.bin
Flashed them via fastboot, and I was greeted by a successful boot to stock OOS 3.1.2, the version provided by the unbrick tool I used.
However, it seems that the damage done to the phone (either by the failed firmware flash or the unbrick tool) has led to the internal storage being corrupted, or perhaps the damage was done to how the system decrypts internal storage. I am a medical student, so most of these intricacies are way out of my league.
I was hoping to recover the internal storage, but would gladly part with the data if it means I can use the phone again. There was nothing particularly important on the phone that the TWRP backup didn't have.
Pardon me, but which file system would be most suitable for each partition?
The Wipe>Advanced Wipe menu offers several file systems for several partitions. I'm inclined to leave everything as it is, but should I perhaps format the /system partition as f2fs for instance?
