Hi, this might have been asked before, but will this recovery work if I want to flash RR Pie (here)? It says it's factory as vendor, but I don't know if that means mounted or renamed.

To be clear, I currently have Red Wolf as my recovery, which apparently will not work with the RR Pie ROM. If the official TWRP works, can I just flash it from within Red Wolf? Or do I need to flash it using ADB?

This recovery is fully compatible with RR-P by AugustinDev, "factory as vendor" stands for "/factory partition mounted as /vendor partition, without renaming anything" AFAIK.
RedWolf can't support RR-P because it searches for a /vendor partition instead of the /factory one , you can flash latest TWRP by RedWolf.
Have a nice day ;)

Sorry to bother but having in mind that in 3.3.1-0 we can't acess the phone neither by ADB Sideload/Push or mount what do you guys suggest to get some ROM/IMG there ? ATM I got exactly only the TWRP on the phone and no roms there...

Problem installing/starting twrp

HI, I encounter a problem I've never seen described anywhere before.
It seems I can flash twrp, but when I boot in recovery, it's not twrp that appears (probably Zuk's recovery as it's both simple and in chinese -with possibility to switch to english- by default).

History of actions :
- flash ZUI 1.9 with QFIL
- upgraded the distro with built-in system update until there's no update left (1.9 -> 2.1 ->2.5 -> 3.1 -> 3.5 -> 4.0)
- unlocked the bootloader with setting it in the developpers option, then using fastboot (fastboot oem unlock-go)
so fas so good
- then flashed twrp 3.4 (fastboot flash recovery twrp.img). Seems to work ok
Code:
Sending 'recovery' (24757 KB)                      OKAY [  1.088s]
Writing 'recovery'                                 OKAY [  0.186s]
- reboot
- select recovery at startup. And a recovery appears, but visibly, it's not twrp.

Any idea ?
BTW, I tried with twrp 3.3.1-0, but no change.
Thanks in advance.

Im first time see somebody unlock with this command.
You need to flash your unlock_bootloader.img file, maybe here is your problem
Flashing the bootloader downloaded from Lenovo/Zuk is the "old" method.
Since ZUI 3.5, developpers options allow you to unlock bootloader (and then commit this with fastboot, as I wrote on my previous message).
It seems to be due to Lenovo/Zuk web site not existing anymore...

SOLVED (for now)!
I tried an older twrp (3.2.1-1) and it worked!

Now this makes me worry about compatibility between twrp version and installed ROMs.
It *seems* both twrp 3.3.1-0 and 3.4.0-0 are not compatible with ZUI 4.0.

What behavior can I expect when installing a recent ROM (BTW, which one ? Recommendations are welcome)?
Do I have to flash a new ROM then a new twrp, or is my current twrp (3.2.1-1) compatible with any recent ROM?

Advices please...

Thanks.

For me it works with any recent ROM. Newer twrp versions above 3.2.1. don't work on my ZUK Z2 Pro, too.
