The original posts by ionioni and workdowg have been removed, and it was very confusing for me to piece together what needed to be done. I will mainly link to the other excellent guides here and elsewhere, and only write a summary of steps.
1) Unlock bootloader - http://club.lenovo.com.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1156890 - (it's in Chinese, just use Google Translate - I downloaded the 830F file and it seemed to work for me). Download the zip file, extract the img files. Reboot to fastboot, and do "fastboot flash ESP 830f-esp-patched.img". Then, reboot to check that the system still boots.
2) Get recovery file from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-t3322990 - actual file link - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24421527759888155
3) Shutdown tablet
4) Start up tablet in DNX mode - hold power, volume up and down buttons together for a few seconds - tablet will start up, and you will see “Fastboot starting….” (this was the missing step that I needed to make it work) - based on a comment by ionioni in some thread in this forum
5) Shutdown tablet by long pressing power button
6) Start tablet in fastboot mode, by holding power + volume down button
7) Now flash the recovery file downloaded in step 2 - fastboot flash recovery <file>
8) Once it’s finished, confirm success by booting into recovery mode - press volume down/up button to cycle between options (shown in rectangle box at the top of the screen) and choose Recovery - TWRP should start up!
9) Then, restart the tablet or continue normal boot, and then reboot into recovery to confirm that TWRP indeed starts up automatically
10) Profit!!!
Thanks, I was also very confused after bumping into the mysterious locked/first post deleted threads about TWRP on the Yoga Tab 2 !
I'd rooted it originally with the CWM Hack but after some "familly password mess-up" I'm finding I could use TWRP to get into data/system to delete the password files. Will try your method out although it doesn't look like a temporary TWRP access is possible and unlocking the bootloader will, well hard reset it, so...
EDIT - ok, first problem, to download the .esf file it seems you have to register on the Lenovo Chinese site using a Chinese phone number ?
I don't remember how I downloaded the file, maybe I did register for an account? I think email can be used for registration, try that.
I've stored the file on Google Drive, here's the link:
830f-esp-patched.zip
drive.google.com
Very kind of you, thanks !
I just bought that tablet Yoga 2-1050F and read something about it here and there but still not sure if I can do that on 1050F? I read in other thread that both ver use the same kernel? The specs are the same, same CPU and GPU.
You know some good custom ROM for it, or are they any? As I see the development for that model wasn't so popular
do you need the tablet be on Lollipop ? or kitkat is just fine ?
The recoveries I post are and tested for Lenovo Z2 Zuk Z2 Pro ONLY!
Requirements:
Unlocked phone bootloader
and your phone booted in fastboot mode, otherwise it will not work.
Recovery.img is the same recovery found on Lenovo forums (link below)

Short guide:
1) Simply extract the zip
2) Open cmd.exe and cd to the directory you extracted
3) Put your phone in fastboot mode by shutting down your phone, if you have unlocked your phone, you will get the following boot message
"Your phone cannot be checked for file corruption...etc", press Volume Down, hightlight "Fastboot" option, press Power Button
4) Paste the following commands:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x2b4c boot recovery.img
You should get the same results I got:
Long guide for newbies with Windows 10 [the same might be for Windows 7/8]:
1) Download the zip I have uploaded and extract it to a folder with your favorite archive manager [I use WinRAR] and open it
2) Hold Shift and Right Click on empty space in the folder
3) Left click on Open command window here or open command prompt here
4) Put your phone in fastboot mode by shutting down your phone, power it on and if you have unlocked your phone, you will get the following boot message

Recovery 3.0.8 was taken from:

Q&A:
Q: I do the same steps you did, in command prompt after pasting your commands I get the following: "< waiting for device >
or I wait for long periods of time or I get a [ERROR] message
A: Chances are 100%, you have the wrong drivers or not drivers installed, most devices use their own drivers for fastboot mode or adb/fastboot commands
If you have a Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro like me, your device needs to be identified as "ShenQi Composite ADB Interface" in device manager.
Not "Android" or "Android ADB Interface" and because of that fastboot does not identify your device at all
Q: Why do you use 2 commands (fastboot flash and fastboot flash) instead of one?
A: I am not 100% sure but I think fastboot flash recovery, flashes the recovery image you have selected [permanently, until you flash a different one] in your device and you can boot into it anytime you want without using a PC
and the second boots your phone with the recovery image but does not flash it, meaning you keep the stock or the one you have flashed in the past.
So I use the first commmand to permanently flash the recovery and the second to boot the phone in recovery mode without using any phone button combinations to boot into, saves me the time and hassle.
Q: Why use Chinese Custom Recovery instead of an English one?
A: This recovery has Chinese and English Language support. However, if you go to the translated google forum link which I have posted below, the thread's title is: Z2 pro Brush] [zuk z2Pro] Twrp Recovery 3.10 update, support Andrews 7.0 7.1 7.1.2ROM
So I think, Recoveries need to also support the custom ROMS you want to flash, also it is taken from official lenovo forums and chances are they have added more features and fixes.
For example using 3.0.8 recovery I couldn't install LineageOS 14.1 custom rom, I was getting Error 7 when I was trying to flash
Q: I get Error 7 when I try to Flash a Custom ROM:
A: Flash 3.1 TWRP Recovery, the custom recovery you have flashed, does not support the custom ROM you want to flash.
Q: I no longer have open command prompt here after intalling Windows 10 Creators update, I have Open Powershell instead, help?
A: Read the following webpage:
http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/cmd-here-windows-10-context-menu-add/
It provides a registry fix which adds/restores "open command window here" in Windows 10 Context Menu
Q: Custom Recovery 3.1 is in Chinese, how do I change it to English?
A: See the following images
Tested on Windows 10 x64 Pro with Creators Update, should work for Windows 7/8 as well.

check again, the link is with decryption key.
I have double checked and made sure it was with the key.
I've tried again on Chrome,IE and Firefox but still get Decrypt message.
Do you copy and paste the link or you click on it?
Seems to me you copy and paste it.
Because the link is way too big, xda forums shorten it (notice the dots).
Click the link don't copy and paste iit
Finally managed to download it.
I clicked on the link in Chrome & it worked. Firefox didn't like it.
Thanks for the help.
fastboot claims to work, but doesn't

Yet it goes back stock recovery. I've tried many variations of these commands, and always get the same results.

I am having problems with this Chinese twrp why not get fixed in the bootloader nor accept after even running without installing the program supersu via twrp
Hello All,
So originally I had TWRP 3.0 on my Z2 pro, and i attempted to just install the 3.1 img file from it(per another instructional video from the 7.1 mokee thread), and after installing the recovery file, my phone restarted, however now when I attempt to go into Recovery mode from the boot menu, my phone just goes to a blank screen.
I've tried to flash the image from CMD to see if i could essentially "re flash" 3.1 TWRP, but I always get this message(see attached image). What am i typing in wrong in CMD? As you can see, the directory name is right, as well as the fastboot code. I'm also IN fastboot mode on my phone already. I changed the file name of the folder containing the recovery from it's orginal name to make it shorter, but that should not matter at all. It seems as if CMD can't find the folder though?
Well XDA won't let me post a damn picture(how am i supposed to ask for help if i can't show people what im doing), so I guess if someone would PM me i can post the image.
People do you try to flash the recoveries right after unlocking your bootloader?
Because if you can't flash the recovery and it goes back to stock, it means you haven't fully unloxked your bootloader.
Make sure you run the last following command when you unlock your bootloader
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem unlock-go
Then follow my guide here.
Also bootloader unlock tutorial here:
https://zukfans.eu/community/threads/zuk-z2--unlock.62/
Its for Zuk Z2, but the instructions are also for Z2 Pro.

Any idea about what's happening with the situation in my post by chance? When I try to flash from CMD i get this text. "Z2 is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
"Z2" is the name of the folder that contains the recovery image, so it seems like it's not finding it.
which files about phone mobile data at a TWRP BACKUP ? i see a lot of files inside of a twrp backup . i need to learn that . thanks.

Use directory names without spaces. Like c:\zuk and perform all operations from there.

Erm, "Chinese dev" doesn't mean anything really. Don't you have a thread link, a github link, or anything in particular? It's almost like saying "Here an app", without really saying where it comes from. Kinda risky... Especially if it isn't the "Chinese dev" that shares it.
EDIT/// NVM, just was the source link... Sorry for that, was refreshing the wrong one...

I'm in the same boat, I like that it's done but the fact it isn't open-sourced and is provided by a sketchy Chinese version of a fake Oneplus site (take a look at the lack of SSL for example), I think I may hold off..
Thanks for sharing though OP, hope this might spark what we need to get the official version!

Maybe you need to delete recovery-from-boot.p from your system folder, and the twrp will be permanently

If I had OnePlus 5 I would have resolved the problem inside the twrp, but no device is impossible for me. A complete recovery will soon be released.
The recovery-from-boot.p is the file that restore stock recovery when you reboot your phone (It is in all android firmware)

did you restore your backup, after reboot . If yes, just uncheck boot when you restore and you dont need to format anything when flash recovery or kernel because these thing boot before system . For me twrp work good for me, the only thing is that i have flash supersu and when i want to switch to magisk, i delete all root on supersu app, and then impossible to boot on twrp, even after flash it with bootloader . The trick is to flash stock recovery from folder and then flash twrp .
Thanks
In this guide, ill be showing you how to install a custom rom onto your OnePlus 7T Pro device. Ill be assuming your phone is completely stock and you haven't done any modifications. This is done at your own risk, i am not responsible for corrupted images, bricked devices etc.
*NOTE: This guide is for the OnePlus 7T Pro only*
What you will need:
A windows PC - idk buy one lol? *NOTE* You will need a Windows 10 PC, Windows 11 can't recognize your phone in fastboot for some reason. You can manually install the adb drivers to the PC If you must use windows 11.
Platform tools SDK - https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
USB cable that came with the phone
Derpfest ROM - https://sourceforge.net/projects/derpfest/files/hotdog/ (This was made by @NurKeinNeid, It's truly an amazing rom and would recommend it to anyone who wants android 12 on their devices! XDA forum for the ROM - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-12-0-derpfest-for-oneplus-7t-pro-official-hotdog.4250469/ ) Download the .img.zip, not just the .zip!

(i) In order to install software onto your phone you must have an unlocked bootloader. To start, go to settings - about phone - tap on the build number 7 times, input your password and developer options should then be enabled.
(ii) Then go into the main settings page - system - developer options. Enable the 'OEM UNLOCKING' feature. After that scroll down and enable USB Debugging. At this stage, plug your device into your pc. A dialogue should come up to allow the computer to connect to your phone, click yes.
(iii) Now on your computer, navigate to the platform tools folder you downloaded, in the main directory with all the files, in the search bar type cmd and press enter. You now need to boot your phone into fastboot mode. To do this, turn your phone off. Then, hold the power button with the volume up and down button! You should see a menu with green text saying 'Start' at the top.
(iv) Plug your phone into your computer, and in the cmd menu you opened, type 'fastboot devices', you should see the word fastboot followed by a string of numbers. Now type - 'fastboot oem unlocking' A dialogue will appear on your phone, using the volume keys select the option to unlock the bootloader. *NOTE - ALL DATA WILL BE REMOVED'
Step 2: Flashing a custom recovery
Reboot your phone to fastboot, then connect your phone to your pc. Type in 'fastboot reboot fastboot' your device should reboot into 'fastbootd' Now using the recovery.img file you downloaded from Firefox, type the following command, `'fastboot flash recovery 'PATH TO RECOVERY.IMG FILE'
Once the file has flashed, restart your phone into fastboot mode and using the volume keys, navigate to recovery mode. You should now boot into Orange Fox recovery. Now, in orangefox, go to Wipe - Format Data - then type yes and wait for the process to finish.
Voila!
Step 3: Flashing the ROM!
Open your downloaded version of derpfest, you should see a file called payload.bin, place that into the payload dumper input folder, then run the programme and wait for it complete, you should have loads of .img files. Copy all of these into your platform tools folder! Now download the custom script and place that into the platform tool folder as well.
Reboot your phone into fastboot mode, and once again type 'fastboot reboot fastboot' Once you're in fastbootd mode, right click the flash-all.bat script and run as admin, click more info if you have microsoft defender and click run anyway, The rest is done in the script!
*HOW TO UPDATE*
Once you have downloaded and extracted the new files from the most recent payload.bin file which the dev releases, copy these files into your platform-tools folder. You need to make sure there are no .img files from the old Rom remaining. Now, connect your phone to your pc. Open a cmd windows inside the platform-tools window and type 'adb reboot fastboot', once your phone has entered fastboot, type 'fastboot reboot fastbootd' Once your in fastbootd, simply run the update.bat script and voila!
After, reboot your phone and you should load into your new Android 12 OS!

No Problem, Quite satisfying to write actually! Thanks so much for all the effort you put into the ROM, Best one I have used on my phone yet! Looking forward to the new build
Hi Team, this method with flashing Orange Fox recovery and formatting Data, do you know if will enable backup/restore and viewable sdcard for Android 12/Derp?
The only thing I haven't been willing to try is formatting/converting Data, as I've re-setup my phone about 5 times now trying various methods over several days trying to get a working custom recovery for Derp

Hey I'm not sure about the backup/restore, but after formatting the drive, they'll no longer be encrypted so Orange Fox should be able to read the data on your drive.
Thought as much, time for another reinstall. Thanks again have a thumbs up.
Hi Astroarchcraft, thank you for this guide! If you only put it out 2 days earlier you'd have saved me from a soft brick! (from which I recovered luckily ahahh)
Anyway, could you please also add the guide on how to update to a newer build? Is there a way to do it without losing all data? Thanks!
Looking forward to move to the new 2022-01-07 build!
Instead of going to fastbootd after flashing orangefox recovery, it just goes to orangefox's fastboot mode and did the script there. Should it work the same? (I'm still waiting for the flash to finish, will update what will happen after) Thanks!
Edit: Looks like it works just the same even if you run flash all script inside orangefox recovery fastboot.
Anyways, thanks for the nice guide. Really helpful! I know i've been flashing ROMs ever since back then. But its always nice to have a guide here and there. So kudos to you for making this one. Thanks!
What if I'm on a A12 AOSP ROM and want to try Derpfest ROm? can I just flash it in TWRP or are there any instructions to follow?

Yup, orange Fox fastboot is fastbootd if you do it from the bootloader

Nope, it's a fastboot ROM so it must be done via fastboot!

I'll make a guide later, but for the moment, all you need to do it download the update files, instead of the original files, and don't erase the data when given the option in the script!

So won't I have problems with my data being encrypted by the previous version of the ROM? Will the new one be able to read it anyway?
Cheers ✌
I've updated and it was perfect, my recommendation for the moment is to go to the how to update section on the official ROM page and do what is said from there, like I said, I'll make a guide as soon as I get a chance

Thank you for the awesome guide, I have some questions, since this wipes all my data, what is the most efficient way of backing up my device data as I always don't know what people do to not lose their data while constantly switching ROMs, keeping in mind that this is my first time installing a custom ROM ever!
as well as, what's your experience with the ROM so far, any bugs popped up? Widevine still L1 and SafetyNet passes?
Did you find a way of installing OxygenOS camera? if not, what GCAM are you using?
i think you should add "How to dirty flash an update " also.

Some minor bugs have popped up, like apps closing randomly, but that was because of my magisk root, as soon as I got rid of it, all the apps worked. Oxygen OS Camera wouldn't work so I'm using a Gcam mod for the 7T Pro. As for keeping your data, i would advice performing a nandroid backup. There's guides on YouTube as to how to do this.

So nothing other than apps randomly closing, hmm, good, does Derpfest have a Parallel Apps feature like OOS? as I employ 2 WhatsApp accounts (Personal and Work accounts).
Are you using the recommended GCAM from the ROM Post? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...official-hotdog.4250469/page-18#post-86176205
anything else I need to be on the lookout for before I start, coming from OOS I mean, something missing from Derpfest that was on OOS?
Sorry for hammering you, it's just my first time flashing a custom ROM and I'm minutes away from doing it.

Disclaimer: This will void warranty.
You will need to unlock bootloader.
*All your data will be lost*
---
Info:
Android version 12.1 (12L)
July 2022 patch
Tested on A217F & Dual SIM working
GApps included so you don't have to flash them
Part 1 - Unlocking bootloader:
Skip this if you've already done it.
1. Enable Developer Options, go to OEM Unlocking and turn it on.
2. Plug in phone to PC, restart the phone and right when it turns off, keep holding VOLUME DOWN + VOLUME UP till you see the Download Mode
3. Hold VOLUME UP to enter Bootloader Unlock mode
4. Press VOLUME UP to accept, and let the phone restart and erase
* To check if it worked, head back to Download mode and check if "OEM LOCK" is "OFF"
Part 2 - Flash recovery:
1. Download Odin and recovery U7/recovery U6/recovery U5
2. Put device to Download Mode (Hold VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN while plugging in phone to PC)
3. Open Odin and hit AP and select recovery file
4. (optional) go to Options tab and untick Auto Reboot
5. Hit start
* If it fails with error "Only official binaries are allowed to be flashed(recovery)", then boot device up, connect to internet, and then change Date to some time ago like January 5th 2022
Part 3 - Flash the ROM:
1. Download and Extract the ROM
2. Download the kernel
3. Download and Extract platform-tools (ADB and Fastboot)
4. Open up Command Prompt and cd into platform-tools folder
5. Plug in phone to PC, restart or turn off phone and hold VOLUME UP + POWER for about 5 seconds. You should enter Lineage Recovery.
6. Tap Advanced, then Enter Fastboot
7. Type in command prompt "fastboot flash system " and drag the ROM .img file and hit enter. This should take around 3 to 5 minutes.
8. Exit Fastboot mode on the phone and go to Apply Update, Apply from ADB
9. Type in command prompt "adb sideload " and drag the kernel .zip file and hit enter. Press Yes when the phone asks to.
10. Reboot the phone.
Notes:
* DO NOT APPLY A SCREEN LOCK, or else the settings app will crash along with the setup wizard, and if you do it from settings you won't be able to change it, disable it or enable fingerprint unlock
* SuperSU root is pre-installed so you can 'adb sideload ' the UPDATE-unSU.zip from recovery, then 'adb sideload ' the Magisk apk attached below ("app-debug.apk") after renaming it to .zip

Hi,
I have tried the GSI you linked in your guide but it just gave me a bootloop similar to many other guides, including the Samsung PixelExperience Android 12.0 GSI further down in the comments. So after I did my own research and tries I put together this guide with the resources I used to make the device work.
