[darshan1205]

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

• minui fixes (cryptomilk)
• Better android-8.0 compatibility in ROM trees (Dees_Troy)

• Updated TWRP source code to AOSP 7.1.2 (Dees_Troy)Updated TWRP source code to AOSP 7.1.2

CHANGELOG for 3.1.0-0:

• vold decrypt on a few select HTC devices, TWRP will now attempt to use the system partition's vold and vdc binaries and libraries to decrypt the data partition (nkk71 and CaptainThrowback)
• adb backup to stream a backup directly to or from your PC, see documentation here (bigbiff)
• tweak MTP startup routines (mdmower)
• support new Android 7.x xattrs for backup and restore to fix loss of data after a restore (Dees_Troy)

• better indicate to users that internal storage is not backed up (Dees_Troy)
• improve automatic determination of TW_THEME (mdmower)
• minimal getcap and setcap support (_that)
• try mounting both ext4 and f2fs during decrypt (jcadduono and Dees_Troy)
• shut off backlight with power key (mdmower)
• timeout during FDE decrypt (Dees_Troy and nkk71)
• support for FBE decrypt and backing up and restoring FBE policies (Dees_Troy)
• boot slot support (Dees_Troy)
• TWRP app install prompt during reboot (Dees_Troy)
• support for AB OTA zips (Dees_Troy)

Flash lazyflasher to disable dm-verity & forced encryption on MIUI

 

[Allhunt]

I've been waiting a long time for this good news.
Thank you sir.

Kernel Source: rolex_global_images_V8.2.1.0.MCCMIDL_20170306.0000.00_6.0_global_801a10c894

Kernel source or global rom ?

 

[stephendt0]

Thanks for this. Added it to the main thread for the Redmi 4A: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/xiaomi-redmi-4a-chat-root-sd-425-2gb-t3511933

This is no kernel source. It's just the fastboot images as far as I can tell...
I think kernel sources have not been released yet. But someone please correct me if I'm wrong...

 

[darshan1205]

This build of TWRP uses prebuilt kernel from latest global stable rom so that is mentioned as kernel source

Ah ok, I see. And thanks for the recovery! :good:

EDIT: Oh well, after flashing this one, system doesn't boot anymore in my case. I came from cofface-recovery (3.0.2-0), which worked fine.
Now, booting system just hangs on the screen with the 3 moving dots and apparently never finishes. Hmmm, any idea?

EDIT2: To fix it, I had to re-install 8.2.1.0 global rom. Also, I had downgraded TWRP to 3.0.2-0 again, but maybe this wouldn't have been necessary.

Flash LazyFlasher zip to disable forced encryption after flashing recovery if you are using MIUI

 

[TockTockTicky]

Thanks man ! But a line is missing for TWRP intall : after you enter this line :
- fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-20170318-UNOFFICIAL-rolex.img
you need to enter this : fastboot boot twrp-3.1.0-0-20170318-UNOFFICIAL-rolex.img

I had to format the USB key as exFAT, and it worked in cofface's version without any problem.

MIUI seems to overwrite TWRP and flash its own recovery again. I recall that I had the same issue at first with my Note 4X (mido), but I don't remember how I made TWRP persistent. For now, I don't want to flash a custom ROM on my dad's rolex, but I'd like TWRP to remain on the device. Any help would be appreciated.
