[RECOVERY][3.4.0-2][instantnoodle]Unofficial TWRP for OnePlus 8 Unified (Test)

[Revenant Ghost]

After using this recovery for a while, I've decided to wait for a more stable version of TWRP... if it ever happens. Or at least until nandroid backups are fully functional.

I had no choice but to MSM restore my phone to get it back into a working state, thanks to experimenting with custom kernels and other modifications causing stability issues. I even ended up in the dreaded "Qualcomm CrashDump Mode", at one point.

Good thing I had a valid persist.img backup handy to fix my fingerprint scanner, or I'll be sending my phone back for repairs... again.

Since I really need this phone as my daily driver: I'll just stick with stock kernel, stock recovery and xXx Magisk ROM, for now. Thank you.

I'm on T-Mobile OnePlus 8. Network unlocked thanks mobdeep (shout out!) and unlocked bootloader.

I booted the twrp.img from fastboot - all went fine. I was able to open TWRP, decrypt data, and flashed the installer. Flashed successfully. Rebooted system. When I went to reboot into recovery, it rebooted, flashed TWRP boot image for a brief second, then went black. It then went into the Qualcomm Crashdump Mode with "fatal execution (something I can't remember now)" on one line and "die" on the next line. I started to sweat at that point, fearing the worst. Luckily, I was able to hard boot back into fastboot and then rebooted to system and everything loaded fine. Now I'm nervous to try to boot back into TWRP as I don't want to get stuck in that crashdump mode.

Anyways, wanted to throw that out there for general knowledge.

Fix backup and restore using SAR - dianlujitao

Does this mean we can do full backups and restore them sucessfully? If that's the case, this is AMAZING!

Thank you.

Need confirmation now : is it safe to use this twrp version to flash OTA ROMs coming from Repo of Oxygen OS Builds ?

Was the T-Mobile variant able to be bootloader unlocked out the box?

Nope, it's an annoying process to unlock the bootloader with the tmo model

Ok. I was thinking about getting it but the bootloader has to b unlockable lol

Not fully. Apparently you can't backup/restore system and some other partitions.

You can get the bootloader unlock. Just have to jump through a couple of hoops.
