Theres already a script that will add a vendor partition to your device. It also patches TWRP to support the vendor partition.
Hi xda community, I'm new and would like to know if your guide is still valid at the moment. (A52017 with 8.0.0 version of Android and February 2020 security patch) thanks in advance. Sorry for my english but I'm italian ?
Quindi devo scaricare l'ultima versione della twrp per il mio A5 2017 insieme all'ultima versione di Odin e il procedimento rimane lo stesso giusto?
any way to use twrp if you have broken display ? without using otg because I dont have the adaptor just a bluetooth keyboard

I think there is no chance with a broken display.
The vendor partition can be used for Treble ROMs as soon as we have one

Which device do you have?
It has only been tested on A520F and A720F, other variations may have different partition sizes.
And what do you mean by "not working"?
