That means that the rom you installed included those three system partitions files

It is still on original stock OxygenOS 11.0.11.11 and I was about to prepare it for crDroid...

and that the copy-partitions did it's work properly (if you look at the shell script it runs it has some partitions excluded).

Ok... I did not look so deep into it...

If you want to be able to boot either slot, then you'll have to manually sync those three partitions.

I'll do so. Tnx!

I created my own shell script (attached, needs root) because I wanted to be able to sync all partitions and to be able to specify just one.

That's perfect. I'll try it asap!

Thank you!

The shell script I gave you was a modified version of copy-partition (I'd forgotten that!). And looking at it again I see that the original ignored partitions were "dtbo_a dtbo_b system_a system_b boot_a boot_b vbmeta_a vbmeta_b". So that explains what you saw after running copy-partition.

And apologies for this string of OT posts. I should have taken the conversation elsewhere as this wasn't about TWRP.

Good morning
I have a question

I have made a backup with their TWRP of my crDroid Rom (data only) as described.

I wanted to restore it then unfortunately the restore has only limited worked because all my apps are back but all the settings I made in the system are gone.

Did I make a mistake or is it just not possible at the moment?

Greetings

I had the same experience the one time I had to restore on stock OOS.

I'm pretty sure that happens if you've formatted the data partition.

If you only do a factory reset (if restoring a backup of the current rom), then the settings usually survive.

Hello @BillGoss

I just tested another ROM maybe that was the error !?!
Since I have made only a factory reset in TWRP that was all.
Otherwise I have proceeded exactly according to instructions.

Next twrp for kebab will fully support Android12?

 

[eddro22]

Hope the new twrp build will release soon.

 

[BillGoss]

Woo hoo! Official TWRP 3.6.0 is out: https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplus8t.html

 

[theincognito]

Updated the thread with the official link.
This is the official A11 release, not A12. So, don't expect A12 support on this build.

 

[theincognito]

Updated post #3 with the updated data backup and restore procedure.
Once again, huge thanks to @BillGoss

Can OOS now be flashed using TWRP?

It's been a few years since I used TWRP and flash custom Rom to a phone so sorry in advance for the overall noob questions.
I read everything at the OnePlus 8T Wikipage HERE
It mentions there is a lineage recovery to use. Which I don't understand and also says a manditory step is to flash copy-partitions-20210323_1922.zip using said recovery method.

I am coming from stock. I would like to have TWRP installed fully with latest version of Lineage and Magisk as root.
I am confused about the Rom install instructions Here on XDA

Can anyone guide me in the right direction. NOT sure how to proceed to use TWRP or this other recovery that I'm not familiar with.

As long as you have latest OOS on both partitions, you dont need the copy partitions zip. But, unless you intentionally did that, your both slots will have different firmware for sure. So use that copy partitions zip.

To go from OOS to LOS with the help of TWRP, follow this:

1. Make sure to backup your internal storage to PC or external drives.

2. Get the latest twrp img and installer from first post/twrp website and boot the twrp image using fastboot. (The TWRP logo may seem to be stuck, but it will boot in around 50s max, mostly lower time)

3. Copy and flash the copy partitions zip, then format /data using TWRP. Dont reboot yet

4. Flash the twrp installer using adb sideload option from TWRP.

5. Switch slot to opposite slot from reboot menu and then reboot to TWRP.

6. adb sideload lineage rom zip.

7. adb sideload twrp installer zip and reboot to TWRP.

8. adb sideload gapps and reboot to system.

9. Now you have a working lineage with TWRP.

PS: This is only like this for the first time. After this, simply update lineage ROM with TWRP like old days.

I am using AICP and flashed every update from AICP recovery till now. Can anybody explain a bit how to flash the official twrp without losing anything?

I am using AICP and flashed every update from AICP recovery till now. Can anybody explain a bit how to flash the official twrp without losing anything?

This is how i do:
Update AICP via OTA preserve TWRP recovery and magisk root & magisk settings and modules

0. THIS STEP IS OPTIONAL!
Remove your PIN/pattern/password on your device.
(I have not tested with no removing password but latest twrp should manage encryption now, so if you are not removing password/PIN/pattern should be okay...However i have not tested yet. I recommend remove all password/PIN/pattern before you are doing anything. But the choiche is yours...)

1. Make sure you have twrp installer .zip and magisk.zip on your internal storage.

2. Perform the OTA update. Once you see Reboot DO NOT reboot!! Open Magisk Manager.

3. On Magisk Manager go to modules and select Install from Storage. Select the twrp installer zip and flash it.

4. On Magisk Manager click on Install and select "Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)" and select the magisk.zip and flash it.

5. Reboot your device. Once you have succesfully booted into the updated AICP, reboot again into recovery. You should get TWRP recovery again, it means installer .zip has been succesfully applied. Now you can flash gapps and addons and whatever you want.

6. Reboot into system. Set it back your password/PIN/pattern.
7. Reboot AGAIN!!
8. Done

It can be applied on other custom ROMs also.

I would skip:
- removing password/pin (only required if doing the TWRP data backup restore process)
- flashing Magisk.zip (you haven't uninstalled Magisk, so all the Magisk data is still there, as is the app).

Maybe i am wrong but regarding my theory if i flash magisk .zip i am patching the boot .img. If i do not do, obviously the updated rom will boot with the updated & unpatched boot .img therefore magisk manager will be there but root itself will be gone. In other words i have to flash magisk again from manager. That is why i am 'patching' again the updated boot .img after OTA is done.
Am i wrong then??
