What's this?

This is TeamWin Recovery Project for ZUK Z2 Pro (z2_row).

This is an official recovery support thread.

Known Issues

• MTP broken in 3.3.0 and newer builds because of a TWRP issue with 4.4 kernel (you can still use adb push and adb sideload)

Requirements

• Unlocked bootloader
• Common sense and a Z2 Pro

Downloads, changelogs, installation info
All of this info can be found at the official info page.
If you use fastboot to install TWRP, you may have to specify a vendor ID in the commandline, like so:

fastboot [B]-i 0x2b4c[/B] flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot [B]-i 0x2b4c[/B] reboot

Thanks

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this recovery compatible with both treble and non-treble ROMs?
Yes, this recovery is compatible with both non-treble and treble ROMs mounting /factory as vendor (the most updated ones are doing so), while it isn't compatible with the ROMs renaming /factory as /vendor. If the ROM you're using is still using /vendor instead of mounting /factory as vendor, report this to the maintainer and tell them to update.

I'am using TWRP 3.2.3 since weeks without problems. Is this another version? Why should I use this one?

As first because this has the factory mounted as vendor support instead of factory renamed as vendor. If you're already using a build with this support and you downloaded it recently it means that the build is the exact same as this one. I created a thread so that things can get out of Telegram only and also because soon it'll become official (the old one is deprecated pretty much)

Thread updated with the official tag and a new official build on the TWRP.me website. Enjoy

Encryption with latest AEX is not working.

Encryption with latest AEX is not working.

What do you mean with "is not working"? What happens when you try to encrypt?

I have sucessfull encrypted my data partition with aex rom.
But twrp isn't able to decrypt it. Twrp asks for the password but after entering the right pass, i responds with password invalid.

Theres something that was changed in Android encryption (and twrp 3-2-3-1 should it fix for many other devices, here not).
Should not be a big thing.

Perhaps this helps:

Hi, sorry for the late answer. Can you pm me on telegram so that we can discuss the issue and I can eventually send you some builds to test? t.me/DD3boh
Thank you!

Checked with @DD3Boh and decryption for pie is working in a test build. He gonna push the new version after some more testing.

But be patient, we will be finally able to encrypt our device and decrypt it in twrp.

Thanks to him,

TWRP 3.3.0 just got released

Encryption was fixed, although mtp is broken because of 4.4 kernel (which is a must for encryption)
Instead of mtp you can just use adb push to push files to the internal memory, or either adb sideload <package path> to flash them directly without transferring to the internal storage (works only after having enabled adb sideload in the advanced TWRP tab)

It doesn't work on official builds for some reasons, so I had to disable it
I could though make a build locally where for some reasons it should work fine

I need some help with the Zuk Z2 Pro. I've flashed TWRP 3.3.0.1 and it seemed to work.
However, I'm unable to get the phone detected on my pc in TWRP, or ADB sideload. The phone gets connected while rebooted in system in Zui. Using zuk2pro driver.
I've also not able to mount data.
So i followed some instructions and reformat the partitions, but i forgot the phone could not be detected in TWRP.
I'll like to know if ROMs can be flashed using OTG-USB.

I tried USB-OTG and it worked. Thankfully.

Can't make any sense out of the driver game.

Sideload isnt working for me either, same as with the previous version, rendering TWRP essentially unusable when running a 4.4 kernel.
Resolve that first please, prior to adding more features. There arent THAT many kernels to choose from.

Probably you don't know why I even switched to 4.4 kernel, which is because 3.18 kernel in TWRP breaks decryption, which is quite an important thing.
Anyway I can build TWRP locally and send a build as that will somehow have mtp and USB in general working.
