Development [RECOVERY][3.7.0-12.1][UNOFFICIAL][UNIFIED] TWRP with A12/A13 encryption support

[Andsie]

Yes, but I want to wait with updating the first post until I get some feedback. Last time it broke the zip installer but this time it looks good to me.

i gave it a try on Stock ROM A13 f.72:

fastboot boot twrp.img did not work

installing zip under magisk worked fine - kept root by installing magisk rightaway after flashing twrp.zip

first backup worked fine, too

one problem: not every usb external drive is recognized

error "failed to mount '/vendor_dlkm (Block device required)" is still present

At least the zip installer works now. Could you provide a logcat output and recovery.log that captures the usb drive issue. You find this option at Advanced -> copy log -> Include logcat.

I have just tried on Stock ROM A13 F72:

Installing zip under magisk worked fine
Kept root by installing magisk.apk rightaway after flashing twrp.zip
Data backup worked fine
Just need to reinitialize the phone and see if data restore would work?

Also got the error message "failed to mount '/vendor_dlkm (Block device required)" but as you said it is just comestic.
Thanks for your work !!

I would have sent this to you - but I don't find it after processing on my phone - do I do something wrong?

Restoring data works fine for me but I had to reboot two times for everything to work.

By default it's written to /sdcard but you have to unlock data. If you select an other storage location like an USB drive, it is written to the root of that drive. You can also use your PC and run "adb logcat", which prints everything to your terminal screen.

Here the requested files

Another usb to ssd adapter works properly

not a single upload works...

 

[Andsie]

Not in app
Not at pc

Now?

Now?

First of all, edit your old post instead of making a new one each time you try...

Second, maybe if xda's having trouble with attachments for you then you should stop trying to upload to xda? Try Google Drive or something instead...

5 posts in a row like "did it work?" is a bit ridiculous.

A little bit rude - dear osmosis

BTW - editing a post is not the solution, either

No, no! He should try more, because why not?

Fyi. If updating oos incrementally, after uninstalling magisk, updater will fail at 34%.

Flash current boot img, then update oos. After reboot, confirm update took, then reinstall TWRP.

ie
Updating oos incrementally if TWRP is installed:

Download incremental update
Uninstall magisk (restore images)
Flash boot img (exkm or similar) of current, not new, oos rom
Update oos with updater app
Install magisk to inactive slot (after ota)
Reboot
Confirm oos update
Flash TWRP per og instructions

Did it work with the steps you mentioned or are they the steps which lead to failure? Do you mean with incremental flashing a full OOS zip on top of OOS or a partial OTA zip? There are some problems with partial OTAs and they are not recommended to be installed via TWRP.

The steps I listed are the steps needed to incrementally update oos if TWRP is installed. Oos updater will fail at 34% if current boot img isn't flashed before updating.

My post was intended to help those with oos and TWRP trying to update incrementally. The update failure isn't an issue with TWRP, but rather (a feature of) the updater.
I did, however, kinda expected magisk restoring images functionality negating the need to flash boot img, but I guess I was mistaken.
Thank you for getting us a working TWRP on a12/13 btw.

I've OOS13 F17. How do I update to F18? Any recommended steps or I should just flash ota via updater and reflash magisk and in done. What's the correct way to update.

I can't give you an advice because I don't run OOS but just do it as described by @ffejy462 three post above. Keep in mind that partial OTAs can cause problems.
