Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It's 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.
This device has 2 "slots" for ROMs / firmware. TWRP will detect whichever slot is currently active and use that slot for backup AND restore. There are buttons on the reboot page and under backup -> options to change slots. Changing the active slot will cause TWRP to switch which slot that TWRP is backing up or restoring. You can make a backup of slot A, switch to B, then restore the backup which will restore the backup of A to slot B. Changing the slot in TWRP also tells the bootloader to boot that slot.
NOTE:
Decryption of data works when fastboot booting TWRP AND when permanently installing TWRP
Installation
To temporarily boot this recovery:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-[b]build-version[/b]-lake.img
To permanently install it:
- Temporarily boot twrp
- Place the twrp-installer zip on your internal/external storage, or push to /sdcard or /external_sd using adb:
Code:adb push twrp-installer-[b]build-version[/b]-lake.zip /sdcard (or /external_sd)
- Tap Install -> Navigate to /sdcard or /external_sd and select the twrp-installer -> Swipe to install
- Reboot recovery. NOTE: if you had Magisk installed previously, be sure to flash again before rebooting to System
- NOTE: you can flash the twrp-installer zip directly in Magisk Manager as a module to install and/or update TWRP!
NOTE: Currently, there is no official twrp-installer zip, but there will be for the next official update. However, you can use the "unofficial" twrp-installer for the time being as it is built using the same sources
