I pushed a test build on selected Telegram device testing groups with several init files replaced. I'll make it available for public today or tonight.
ADB sideload has been fixed on that build, BTW.

Hi,
in twrp-3.2.3-0-X00T-20190115 access to encrypted data still not work.

you add correct entry for keymaster-3-0 , etc. services in init.recovery.qcom.rc

but also default *.rc files from twrp vold_decrypt directory are also present in compiled twrp.

init.rc import /init.recovery.vold_decrypt.rc
init.recovery.vold_decrypt.rc import init.recovery.vold_decrypt.hwservicemanager.rc, init.recovery.vold_decrypt.keymaster-3-0.rc and init.recovery.vold_decrypt.qseecomd.rc

as a result in recovery.log:
keymaster-3-0: Disabled due to lack of matching binary
because of wrong binary name in init.recovery.vold_decrypt.keymaster-3-0.rc

Another test build was pushed with all the clutter removed.

Hi, I'm unable to deblloat stock 338, after clean install...Stock ROM, twrp3.2,, magisk 18. deblloat and GKiller scripts seem to flash successfully but apps still shown as installed after reboot...root Explorer show /system as mounter RO and not rw...same in terminal emulator...see screenshot. What could have gone wrong?

Are you sure you're not in the wrong room?

BTW, by default system, vendor, and rootdir are mounted read-only.

I must be modding after a loooonng time. AFAIK, these directories can be remounted RW for removing / cleaning system apps. Scripts are unable to do it from TWRP, and I cannot modify them using a root explorer, how to remove them? Never mind, i have a weekend task for me.... wipe system, data, cache & dalvik in TWRP, reinstall fresh 338 ROM, decrypt script (for good measure), debloat scripts, magisk and reboot. Will this work? Thanks @krasCGQ for the fast reply.

If you're able to flash stock ROM (or any ROMs) from twrp, it means no issues with twrp. Not able to mount system rw from terminal may be magisk issue. Try removing magisk (using magisk uninstaller) then reflashing magisk, this might help. Sometimes magisk fails to give proper root access.
Also dedicated thread for debloater zips are available on xda for stock ROM, if you don't like debloating all apps given in zip just modify script inside zip & flash.

I think the problem may be with Magisk, just like you said....anyway, its time for a fresh install, don't like my ROM setup (with Google apps & all). Thanks for your inputs.

Aroma Gapps make TWRP crash and restart within it. Cannot boot into system or bootloader, it simple loops inside it. I had to force restart by long pressing power key. And work around?
Before flashing aroma gapps just mount system & vendor partitions manually in twrp.
So open twrp then mount system & vendor partitions then flash aroma gapps.
If it gives you loops in twrp, just do same procedure again. This way it worked here.

@krasCGQ today I flashed stock ROM which flashed stock recovery & encrypted device. So I've to flash twrp recovery again with adb/fastboot. So when I flashed twrp with fastboot, So to decrypt device format was needed. But when i attempted format data(and cache, dalvik) partition was failed to mount (even after multiple reboots) & format failed. which seems because of format/wipe style was set to "rm -rf" in settings of twrp (obviously twrp settings set to settings of previous twrp). After changing this setting, data partition was mounted & I was able to mount data. May be bug may be not a bug, but it seems weird so just posting here.

Btw, 17 January build is up on webserver.
Let me know how things going.

Would like to know as well. I haven't moved on to custom ROMs because recovery decryption doesn't work at all.
I'm going to go encrypted by reflashing stock somewhere around before my university class starts again, so if encryption still doesn't work with latest build, I'll try to figure out.

    This is basically a tl;dr thread.
    I don't want to make a thread that everyone will lazy to read.

    Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It's 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.

    Disclaimer
    Code:
    /*
    * Your warranty is... still valid?
    *
    * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
    * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
    * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this RECOVERY
    * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
    * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
    */

    Requirements
    • ASUS ZenFone Max Pro (M1) ZB601/2KL (of course)
    • Unlocked bootloader, in either ways (official, unofficial)
    • Some knowledge on how to deal with your device... and patience.

    Flashing Instructions
    I assume you've done (very) basic steps on preparing to flash your device.
    1. Reboot device to bootloader. If device is powered off, press and hold Power + Volume Up button until ASUS logo with "FASTBOOT MODE" message appears.
    2. Under same directory as TWRP image and ADB/Fastboot executables (if ever required), type this command:
      Code:
      fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.x.x_9-<kernel>-y-KudProject-X00T.img
      Where:
      • x and y are version of TWRP you're going to flash.
      • kernel: k4.4 - stock firmware or custom ROMs with FDE encryption; and k4.14 - FBE for custom ROMs with FBE encryption.
    3. IMPORTANT: After flashing, immediately press and hold Power + Volume Down for about 10 seconds button to reboot to recovery.
    4. Swipe the option to allow modifications. This way, you'll trip Android Verified Boot (AVB) and it's required to flash no verity zip in order to be able to boot stock ROM.

    Downloads
    Webserver | MEGA
    Old releases only: OSDN | AndroidFileHost

    Known Issues
    • k4.4: Due to QTI keymaster's behavior, only specific stock firmware as well as custom ROMs with same platform security patch level that can only be decrypted by TWRP. Applicable versions will be indicated explicitly in the changelog.
    • k4.14: Recovery may start with very low vibration level. You can adjust vibration intensity in settings later.
    • k4.14: Recovery can only decrypt userdata partition encrypted using AES-256-XTS algorithm. Only ROMs using Qualcomm's Inline Crypto Engine (ICE) with 4.14 kernel may also be decrypted by the recovery as well. This can be assumed an intended behavior since implementation of fscrypt_ice on msm-4.14 and msm-4.19 kernels are completely different. Tell ROM maintainers wanting to switch to FBE to use AES-256-XTS instead.

    Special Thanks
    • Dees_Troy and everyone behind TWRP
    • shakalaca - base device tree used for older releases
    • Ankit Gourav - his work on whyred
    • Shivam Kumar Jha - person who kickstarted ZenFone Max Pro (M1) development
    • Everyone involved in testing numbers of test builds.

    Some stuffs...
    Another TWRP thread? Why?
    I like to keep discussions about my builds separate. Moreover, the existing TWRP that already available on XDA before doesn't seem to be maintained anymore.

    I flashed via fastboot but it always fails.
    Check or change your cable, use other USB slot (especially 2.0 one if 3.0+ doesn't work), or if needed try to flash recovery with USB connected to a hub.

    Notes
    • "fastboot boot" command isn't supported by our bootloader. Don't ever try that. (blame ASUS/Huaqin)
    • I'll try to always keep this recovery updated especially when ASUS releases firmware update that also updates AOSP security patch. Security patch set in TWRP needs to match stock firmware used so TWRP can decrypt data partition. This isn't possible with current state as the bump is useless. :(

    Unmodified Stock Firmware Support
    With introduction of unmodified stock firmware support, I need to clear up some confusions you've if any. Notes below are copy-pasta from my post elsewhere:
    Code:
    Starting this build, recovery supports flashing stock firmware without modifying the updater-script. In order for it to be possible, ro.product.device has to be set to ASUS_X00TD.
    This, however, breaks flashing of custom ROMs that check for either X00TD or X00T.
    Simply supporting it doesn't mean that you can flash stock firmware directly; you need to be at least on stock when you flash the recovery, so required properties can be exported to /persist which then will be set on every recovery boot up.
    
    Still not sure though, as some ROMs check for ro.product.device and then fallback to ro.build.product for matching devices.
    
    Flashing incremental OTAs are supported but not recommended, since you'll most likely flash verity disabler at the minimum and get the flashing failed upon patching boot.

    In plain text:
    1. The recovery has ro.product.device set to ASUS_X00TD that may break custom ROM flashing.
    2. You need to be on stock before booting the recovery for the first time, then afterwards you can flash any stock firmware. 21 June 2020 UPDATE: Now not required, as it's now hardcoded in the script itself and since touching persist is never a good idea to begin with.
    3. If you modify your system in any ways and don't have any system backup to restore, don't flash incremental OTAs. This also includes TWRP tampering system to prevent stock recovery from overwriting TWRP.

    Verifying released builds
    This was originally posted on KudProject's Telegram channel and copy pasted here with minor edits for easier access.

    Following TeamWin's stance about unofficial TWRP downloads here, all release builds from KudProject will start to be signed using my GPG key to ensure that you get a copy of legitimate builds directly from me.

    You can download both of my currently active public keys here. Importing from PGP keyserver will be made available in the future.

    To import on Linux:
    Code:
    gpg --import krascgq.gpg

    To verify builds on Linux:
    Code:
    gpg --verify <build-name>.sig <build-name>

    Windows users will need to search for compatible tools.

    A fixed build, that also fixes FDE decryption has been pushed. Enjoy.

    As I've given X00T to my father and due to lack of testing on my further limited-testing builds, I decided to stop all further updates to the recovery.

    I'll still keep this thread open for further discussion of my and Alex builds.

    Sorry if this sounds disappointing but I've no further choice.
