Official Team Win Recovery Project for Android one
Between low prices, Nexus-style Android builds, and updates straight from Google, the Android One phones currently on sale in India seem like ideal tinker machines. Now those who want to play with custom ROMs, software modifications, or just want an easy way to root and backup their phones have an official Team Win Recovery Project build available to them. The custom recovery can be downloaded from the official TWRP page . TWRP isn't the first recovery created for Android One, but it's probably the most anticipated.
The first three devices sold under the Android One label are the Spice Dream UNO Mo-498, the Karbonn Sparkle V, and the Micromax Canvas A1. Though the phones vary a bit in case design and ornamentation, they have essentially identical hardware and software, currently Android 4.4. An official Lollipop software update has been promised by Google. Since all three phones are nearly identical, the TWRP build published on the official site should work for all of them. This is the latest version of TWRP, 2.8, with all kinds of tools for flashing multiple ZIP files and customizing the interface.
If you're new to Android modding, here's how it works: you'll need to unlock your phone's bootloader by placing it in fastboot mode and issuing the "fastboot oem unlock" command via a PC with the Android SDK (or a custom alternative) installed. (Note: this will probably wipe all of the data on your phone, but not your MicroSD card.) Then you can flash the TWRP file with "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-sprout.img". It's easy to mess this stuff up if you're not used to it, so check out THIS GUIDE and substitute the CWM file with TWRP. While you're there, there are already quite a few custom ROMs for Android One that you can check out.

Hi
I have this new device but it's not any of the versions listed here (Nora/Rhyanna)
It's the UK version XT1920-15 sim unlocked, I'm just wandering if the steps to unlock/root are the same on this device as the other versions?

I used this guide to unlock it. I also have this phone, but mine is from latin america, and it should work for yours. :good:

bubba1601 said:
Your device is not the same.
The American / latin American version has android 8.0, 2 GB ram and a 5.2 inch screen.
The UK version has android 8.1, 1gb of ram and a 5.3 inch screen.
All such tutorials that work for the US version DON'T work on the UK version and TWRP installation fails completely.
Please be mindful when advising users things "should" work, as it doesn't work and your device is completely different to mine, so should not be attempted from that link.

No my phone has 1Gb of Ram and 16gigs of storage space along with 8.1 and TWRP installed. I used that guide to unlock the bootloader the TWRP in that guide doesn't work for our phones. I managed to find the TWRP version of the phone.

The guide says it's for android 8.0 though?
I still can't unlock the bootloader!

I'm running stock again.
No root, no twrp and as far as I'm concerned, project treble ROMs/images are complete waste of time, especially for this device where half the posted steps don't work, supplied resources don't work or twrp images and twrp back ups supposedly for this device don't work
Worse still, I had to pay to redownload my firmware.

There's already three different TWRPs for PETTYL.....two work one doesn't.
I made a TWRP for pettyl and it works 100% , The reason the others do not work is because they have EXT4 filesystem set to data partitions in the fstabs they were made with. Data partition is set to f2fs and thus it cannot be read. I also made a decrypt.zip for pettyl aswell, and I do not even own this device... I have only dove into android dev less than 2 months ago
Many people are already confused about twrp so do we really need another one to confuse everyone even more?

The comment you quoted says it's a TWRP file and I've not seen the stock recovery available for PETTYL .
Just bear in mind that I'm assuming the xt1920-15 that I have and txt1920-16 you have are identical, but I obviously cannot confirm that or do I know if they work the same I'm just assuming they do.

lol to get stock recovery file all you have to do is fastboot boot TWRP or OrangeFox and make a backup of recovery. Its that simple, but what would anyone want with stock recovery anyway?
If you really want it you can get the full stock firmware here, extract it and you will have stock recovery.img along with stock boot.img and everything else....

If you had explained what's better or different about your recovery rather than making a mocking reply I would not have asked if another custom recovery was necessary......
There's currently two working TWRPs for PETTYL and another posted on here that doesn't work at all.
Every PETTYL user that's posted here has had issues with both TWRP versions or have been unable to follow the instructions on how to install either version.
Don't tell me this site and android modding isn't for me, because when the time is right I'll decide to stop, you will not make that decision or suggest I stop because you didn't like my question - which you didn't answer.
So I'll ask you calmly and politely again.
Is it really necessary to have so many different TWRPs and custom recovery for PETTYL?
What does your orange fox offer different to TWRP?
You haven't even posted a proper link......no explanation, no proceedures, no instructions. Nothing.
Explain yourself so people understand, don't mock.
Edit.
My question was not a criticism of what you have done.
I've stopped any further modifications to my own PETTYL because it's obvious a 1gb ram android go device cannot handle 9.0 pie and in the 10 years I've been modding various devices the E5 play is the most complicated piece of S*** I've I've used.
But even worse, if the user base cannot ask a simple question of people without someone like you being rude and sarcastic in reply and telling a fellow user to go away - then I've made the right decision not to work with my E5 or this thread any longer.
The user and support base for the E5 play PETTYL has suddenly hit an all time low, and doesn't need rudeness or your sarcasm to justify its existence..

Don't be a d*$k lashing out at a dev who does this work FOR free using up HIS free time to make it possible for you to make this complaint. We developers have to research to gain this knowledge. Be courteous and try to search the web to find the answers you seek and to fill in the blanks. Possibly guide others users in the right direction based on the knowledge you discover.
Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Listen to some nine inch nails, you might learn a thing or two about how to properly human.
He doesn't even own that device yet goes out of his way to provide support for it just for ungrateful individuals such as yourself to lash out at him for not explaining things clearly enough. If you lack the knowledge to fill in the blanks that he may have missed, that just shows that you're at risk of bricking your device from lack of knowledge on the subject. It won't hurt you to do a bit of research for yourself.
Sincerely,
The guy helping to guide that developer you lashed out at to supporting 64bit for YOUR DEVICE.
Official Team Win Recovery Project for Alcatel Tetra (5041C)
First things first, any and all potential risk to a device due to choosing to modify it in any way is the responsibility of said devices owner AND NO ONE ELSE.
Requirements:Boot loader unlocked and root permissions. Or, boot loader unlocked and fastboot. for these refer to PizzaG and LgPWD's previous post located here. Some of the links my not be working at the moment but the instructions are sound.
If you already have bootloader unlocked and root permissions, simply download the official twrp app and select your device and let the app do the work.
If you have bootloader unlock but no root, use the tool from the above tutorial to access fastboot. Then using fastboot issue
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <path/to/twrp/image>
*Be sure to replace <path/to/twrp/image> with the actual path to where you have saved the recovery image.
Official TWRP image lives here
Credits:
1st thanks to Team Win Recovery Project for making this possible by remaining open sourced and flexible.
Thanks to bigbiff from TWRP for helping me through the process to get this device approved for official support.
Last but certainly not least, thanks to PizzaG, LgPWD, and all my people at A-Team Digital Solutions for all the support and allowing me to keep my skills sharp as a team member. I built the initial device tree for the Tetra, but it was through much trial and error that PizzaG, LgPWD, and I were able to finally get to this point with the recovery image.
Amen brother, good work and appreciate the mention. Keep up the good work
Follow the following at your own risk! I am not responsible for any mishaps with your devices. This will NOT obviously work for Verizon, AT&T, and Cricket phones.
Okay, So I've been asking questions, playing, unpacking, and repacking, trying tools, etc. And I got a very experimental port of TWRP happening. VERY EXPERIMENTAL.
THINGS TO KNOW AFTER THE EXCITEMENT DIES DOWN:
For starters, yes THIS DOES BOOT TO TWRP! I'm quite proud about that. This is my first ever port of anything like this. I mostly just fiddle with making bootable stock roms, and not too much since Android 9 and this new nuts file system. Anyway, I set out to try and get a TWRP together for this phone and that happened, so I'm proud of myself I didn't get discouraged.
Having said that, it has ZERO touchscreen functionality. From my research this was also an initial problem for the peeps over at the Moto One 5G Plus variant (Nairo) before they worked out the bugs. Hopefully they will take mercy on us and come give some feedback.
Also, this is a port. I used @Hovatek's Qualcomm tool to accomplish this since unpacking, repacking, copying and pasting a port from Nairo in the Carliv Image Kitchen or Android Image Kitchen just soft bricked my phone. It also doesn't help the traditional porting methods prior to Android 9 don't work anymore. They came up with a great tool, Gawd Bless Em'.
Should you try this for hoots and giggles just know you will have to hard reset. Android will force a factory reset because of the vbmeta flashing, and your phone will be factory brand spanking new. Backup your contacts, pics, messages, and anything else you want to keep just in case.
I'm not going to put detailed instructions on this just yet since it's experimental - this is really for folks that know what they're doing with their phone.
Notes:
You must have the bootloader unlocked and be rooted with Magisk for this to fly. Can't say how this would work on locked bootloaders without root so proceed cautiously on that.
1. Flash VBmeta first. The VBMeta is a blank file and that's to make sure DM-Verity isn't acting up (which as of now I'm 50% certain it is and that's why I had to go ahead and factory reset). The commands to disbale dm-verity didn't work for me. If anybody knows how to get that shut off please add to the discussion.
2. I didn't replace my original recovery. I just did fastboot boot recovery image to see if it would load. I wouldn't advise flashing it to replace the current recovery as it might seriously bootloop.
If anybody wants to try and work on this with me (or take over since I'm a hobbyist at best) then by all means share. But at least now we're getting somewhere, slowly but surely.
Today was a good day in hacking Android 10 on this phone.

I was referring to the super_sparsechunk type files that when you look at their "filetype" it has 0 image by its name if its super_sparsechunk.0, 1 if its super_sparsechunk.1 and the like. This is different than the old basic img files that read .img. This is where the learning curve for me kicks in.

Any and all contributing help is appreciated!
@Articul8Madness I managed to combine the sparse chunk files into a raw image file. I also managed to mount the image, but only in read-only mode. I'll post with updates as I get passed this obstacle.
Seems the US version of this phone isn't popular enough for dev support...oh well I have R/W access so I was able to delete system app bloatware and I have xposed installed. Stock Reteu firmware is working perfectly on Metro...good luck everybody.. I'm looking for a new 5G phone..
Unfortunately, there are no developers here.
All we can produce is a ported twrp where the touchscreen does not work.
The touchscreen does not work due to problems with the porting tool and the smartphone.
I heard that if you build it from source yourself, it will work.
But I can't find any tutorials for android 10+ and I don't even know what files I need.

I posted the source code. The guys over on the Moto One 5G know what tools you need. I was using Carliv's kitchen to build but I've never built before - they had the same problem as us with the touchscreen and had to make modules. That counts me out because that's above my paygrade, lol.

Not entirely sure what you mean. If your doing some kind of frankenstein recovery, I'm sure you just failed to copy some module or firmware, obviously the ts works in the official software.
1.) Find out what touchscreen chipset your device uses (you can use kernel log or system info apps or whatever)
2.) Determine which kernel module supports it (all modules built will be in your kernel config)
3.) modprobe that module from adb in your recovery. If it doesn't just work, you will receive some error on the command line or dmesg that you can use to fix it. Could need a configuration file or something, idk. It's likely an opensource module that you can read through and I bet you can find specific info online since your not the first to hit this issue.
If your wondering how to build the kernel, I can help a little, but it's incomplete:

Snapdragon LLVM Toolchain:

Retail config is on your device:

The instructions don't cover the qcom toolchain, you just take the files here:

and place them here:
$my_top_dir/vendor/qcom/proprietary/llvm-arm-toolchain-ship/8.0/
When building, skip the cat command, and place your config manually to $kernel_out_dir/.config
The step I haven't done is build a device tree. It's not that it's too difficult, I just haven't put in the time required to do it. It's not strictly necessary to achieve for my goals since I only wanted modules and know how to patch the kernel to be able to use them.

Snapdragon LLVM Toolchain:
snapdragon-llvm-8.0.6-linux64.tar.gz
drive.google.com
Retail config is on your device:
/proc/config.gz
The instructions don't cover the qcom toolchain, you just take the files here:
snapdragon-llvm-8.0.6-linux64.tar.gz/toolchains/llvm-Snapdragon_LLVM_for_Android_8.0/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/*
and place them here:
$my_top_dir/vendor/qcom/proprietary/llvm-arm-toolchain-ship/8.0/
When building, skip the cat command, and place your config manually to $kernel_out_dir/.config
The step I haven't done is build a device tree. It's not that it's too difficult, I just haven't put in the time required to do it. It's not strictly necessary to achieve for my goals since I only wanted modules and know how to patch the kernel to be able to use them.

This recovery I built in this thread I used Hovatek's tool to do. I have never built a recovery and I was hoping if someone got the ball rolling we could get a dev to jump in. That hasn't happened.
The guys with the other variant of this phone said they had to create modules. Go to the Moto One 5G forums and see the thread. They had the same problems too, but they had more dev support than we do.
I have never built a TWRP, let alone from source, so half of what you sent I have no idea what it is or how to decompile it (yet).
I have posted the entire Kernel Motorola released its in the other thread. The Device Tree is official and out on github.
Guys, I'm a developer, just that I'm still really busy. I'm following your posts and have looked into some of the stuff, just I'm proceeding slowly due to lack of time. I'll post as soon as I have something working.

This is a fake. It's non-functional garbage.
There is no harm in trying it, unless you flash it, but there is no need to try it.

Can you please build this twrp?
I'm trying to build it.
But I don't know how to solve the error.
I don't think I can build it.
Hi guys. First post here and I'm not around my files so it will be a straight forward guide with no downloads right now, you're smart, you know where to source them...
Ok first and foremost, Unlock your bootloader, Motorola makes it easy and there are good guides on this site to do that.
Once your bootloader is unlocked your going to look for an Unofficial TWRP package for the Lenovo K12 Pro... "What?", You say... Yep K12 Pro. Download it and jump over to your boot loader and flash it or just boot to it through fastboot and now you have a way to install root permanently, or not if you would rather not, but you have that option now.
Next find the lastest Magisk apk and get that joker installed using TWRP. Now reboot into system and everything should load up as normal BUT now you have root with TWRP recovery. I have did this at least 100 times since figuring it out and sometimes I do this with a fresh factory flash and sometimes I do this as is without even wiping user data before or after. I'm no expert and I don't care to lose my files so on the rare occasion that I do have a boot loop or soft brick, I get myself into recovery and flash ANY of the cebu firmwares and do it all over again...
Ok, so now we know how to get root and custom recovery... Next find an AB version of Gsi 11 or "borrow" the latest system.img from an Android 12 update or firmware image and open up fastboot again and flash only the system.image to the system partition. Wipe or don't wipe, up to how lucky you're feeling, and then reboot to system... 11 will take 2-3 minutes to boot the first time and I had nearly all functionality when it did. 12, well, that's a little different, it took 3-4 minutes to boot to the setup screen and then lagged like crazy BUT it eventually started downloading a few files it was missing and got better. I couldn't get my calls or messaging to work right but I could hear my phone ring but it never called the phone app to open and let me answer... Weird stuff BUT FYI 12 is a pretty nice to look at OS and maybe one of you guys can take this to the next level and get some true usefulness out of it. I know it's not very technical but when one of you true geniuses try it and get it worked out please feel free to post a true guide with proper instruction and proper terms.
That's all I got guys. Thanks for reading this and ALSO if anybody has a complete list of fastboot and adb commands for the g9 Power or the K12 Pro please share them with me. I've gotten better at getting around but I'm not near as good as if like to be.
Obligatory safety PSA:
The Lenovo K12 Pro is just the Moto G9 Power sold under a different name, however, there could be minor differences that could cause problems.
Also, while searching for this unofficial TWRP build, I only found it on websites like unofficialtwrp.com, and the like. I couldn't find one on XDA. I was unable to find the device tree, or the kernel sources used by this website anywhere on the internet, and as such, the TWRP images provided on such websites are literal blackboxes.
TWRP images created and shared on XDA can be trusted, the source code used to create the image is displayed on the posts of the images, and XDA itself is a trusted site.
Here is what the official TWRP team have to say on the matter:
Unofficial TWRP Downloads
Like the TWRP team say, it is up to you to flash these images or not, but be careful.

Agreed, I posted as a proof of concept so people with more know how could improve upon. Use this at your own discretion and have fun in doing so.
Is there a way you could post a detailed, step by step instructions of this, please?
I've found the unofficial twrp, but haven't rooted a phone in over 2 years, so I'm a bit rusty, plus things have changed a lot these last couple years.
I'd really appreciate if you could take your time for that.
Thanks in advance.
I don't mind helping you out but I can't post publicly because the rules of the forum and the fact that it's unofficial. I'll get a guide wrote up and PM you. I've had no issues with my device at all but remember it is use at your own discretion.

I was able to boot into TWRP but when I flash Twrp.img to recovery it won't stick, I always had to do fastboot into recovery if I try to boot into recovery it just reboots back into system, also can't remove any junkware from system, it always gives me error when I tried to remove it using root browser, im still on stock

Check out https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-5-2-cebu.4279917/
for TWRP.
As for removing junkware, as you may or may not know, dynamic partitions is a thing since Android 10. In it, the /system, /product and /vendor partitions have been subsumed under a /super partition. And Google has conveniently used a type of ext4 filesystem for that /super partition, that is read-only.
TL;DR: You cannot modify Android using any sort of "root browser" or inside TWRP, for that matter, anymore.
Off the top of my head, the only way you can remove "junkware" is through some Magisk modules, and even they might not even work.
There are three ways to debloat AFAIK:
Magisk - this is my preferred method. You either replace apks you want removed or empty the /product/etc/nondisable folder so they can be disabled. Takes minimal effort to figure out how to make modules and no scripting knowledge required.
Cross-flashing - you can flash retail software, often including modem firmware, to most Moto phones. The result is a clean system with no carrier junkware.
System R/W Scripts - this is the most nonsensical of the options(IMO), but this option exists if you look around and want to experiment. The big drawback here is that you have to redo everything after every update.

Hello. I know you're new and welcome. I just want you to know, being an unofficial twrp isn't necessarily bad by itself. It's that the sources can't be verified. Lots of devces don't have official TWRPs, yet still have a rockin development section with TWRP instructions, as long as it's shared on a trusted site (I only trust 1 other) and lists it's sources and, even then, it should have the warning. Lots of scam sites target root noobs, as you've probably noticed. I don't think sharing instructions would have been against the rules, but should include a warning to let people know it's a questionable twrp build and it poses a risk, but all of our phones are at risk anyway. We don't have to worry about it anymore though since we have an official and still we are at risk, just far less risk. It comes with the territory. On the other hand, I've been I've been doing this for a very long time with countless phones and I've never noticed any malicious activity on any on any of them.
