The new twrp works fine

 

[darkdaemon32]

Hopefully this means more support in the future. Did you flash or boot? Curious if it will bootloop if I flash the img

 

[Igorfmedeiros]

Installation:

If you do not already have TWRP installed: Download twrp img. You will need to have fastboot binaries and the correct drivers installed. Power off your device completely. Hold volume down and turn on the device. Your device should now be in the bootloader. Connect the device to your PC. Open a command window and run the following command from the proper location:

fastboot boot twrp.img

This will temporarily boot TWRP on your device.

I'm aware of how to boot TWRP on my device. I was wondering if it would be possible to *flash* it though. As I understand it you need the TWRP zip compiled and was wondering if you got that working or not for this device.

Booting is fine for now but I need to have TWRP as recovery for bootloops when I don't have my PC available

Edit for spelling

what works
I have downloaded the twrp.img
I ran fastboot boot twrp.img
I have downloaded magisk 17.1 and flashed it via twrp
Installed Magisk Modules: AdgaurdDNS, Greenify4Magisk, and Viper4Android FX

what doesn't work
installed xposed framework via magisk -> caused bootloop

 

[darkdaemon32]

Pretty sure it's an Xposed bug because Xposed bootloops on any device that's got 8.1 with latest patches

 

[cmatthewb101]

So if we can unlock the bootloader, and boot to twrp, can we not install supersu from there? Or am I understanding this wrong?

 

[darkdaemon32]

Magisk is superior in about every way. Also super su isn't being developed anymore

 

[cmatthewb101]

Ah, I'll look into it more. My last phone was forever old, and my only option was SuperSU. Thanks!

 

[Igorfmedeiros]

please any help update the download TWRP file, because in github the developers say mount vendor is working, but the file in twrp webpage its old.

Has anyone tried booting this on the Sprint version

 

[junior0202]

Help me plz

hello, Im trying to install the twrp recovery but i cant, its happing a error


(bootloader) Invalid partition name recovery
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.999s

and i dont know how to solve, please help me

 

[darkdaemon32]

Trwp can't be installed on this device as far as I know. Available twrp is for booting purposes only.

Fastboot boot twrp.img

 

[xuxii]

Whenever I use the command fastboot boot twrp.img, it boots just fine but if I try to use fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, it gives me an invalid partition name recovery error. I am trying to root the device. To my understanding, if you just boot into TWP, its only temporary. I guess my question is, is flashing the .img necessary and if so, why is it giving me this error? I got the .img from the offical website, its in the same folder as fastboot, and even boots right up if using the boot command so the image isnt corrupt. Any suggestions?

 

[darkdaemon32]

You don't need twrp for root. Boot the image and use magisk to root your device systemlessly. SuperSU is depreciated. And twrp hasn't been built for this device in a flashable format. You can only boot temporarily and install magisk.

So can I root this device without installing TWRP? I want to continue using my mods (which I believe TWRP will break) and I don't really care about the custom recovery at this point but want root access for a few select items like AdAway.

 

[darkdaemon32]

There isn't even a way to currently INSTALL TWRP on the z3. The only way to use twrp is with fastboot boot. And you use this to temporarily boot to twrp and flash the magisk installer zip for root. Magisk is systemless and doesn't modify system so you should be able to use all apps that detect system modifications such as gpay etc.

 

[hadibhamed]

Would anyone help me? I saved the Magisk file to internal memory, but when I try to install TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img) the internal memory files are encrypted.

How do I decrypt these files so I can do the Root?
