What's this?

This is TeamWin Recovery Project for our ZUK Z2 Pro (z2_row, Z2121).

I recently became the maintainer for the official TWRP images, and as such I am opening this thread to centralize all support/questions.

Known Issues

• ....

Requirements

• Unlocked bootloader
• Common sense and a Z2 Pro

Downloads, changelogs, installation info
All of this info can be found at the official info page.
If you use fastboot to install TWRP, you may have to specify a vendor ID in the commandline, like so:

fastboot [B]-i 0x2b4c[/B] flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot [B]-i 0x2b4c[/B] reboot

Frequently Asked Questions
...

Based on varotone thread for z2_plus.

Restoring backup always give me SystemUI error at start then reboot.

Restoring backup always give me SystemUI error at start then reboot.

this may not be an issue of twrp but more an issue of switching different roms. Some roms change partitions that become incompatible when switching back to roms that dont touch these partitions..

Partions used and TWRP on ZUK Z2 Pro with AospExtended v5.1

Hi

I asked this already but probably in the wrong thread . So :

Until today I used TWRP 3.1.0.0 (TWRP3.1.0.0_ZUK_Z2_pro.img) on my ZUK Z2 Pro with AospExtended v5.1. In that version TWRP shows these partitions in the backup menu:

Data
Cache
System
System Image
Boot
Recovery
Bootloader (1 MB)
Firmware (81 MB)
Persist
Splash (32 MB)
Rpm
Tz
xbl (3 MB)
msdap
apdp
cmnlib64
cmnlib
keymaster
bluetooth
dsp (4 MB)
pmic
sec
hyp
factory
devcfg

Now I installed TWRP 3.2.1.0 (twrp-3.2.1-0-z2_row.img from the TWRP download website) and now TWRP shows these partitions in the backup menu:

Boot
Cache
Recovery
System
System Image
Data
Firmware
EFS

Now I'm confused -- why is the list of partitons different ?

And, more important: Can I restore my Z2 with TWRP 3.2.1.0 and the backups created with TWRP 3.1.0.0 (I selected all partitions to backup)?

regards

Bernd

Same question. Does anybody know the answer?

New build:

* Add support for a pseudo-vendor partition (mount /factory as /vendor) which allows us to install ROMs with partial/full treble support.
* Fixup partitions sizes. Thanks to @DD3Boh.
* Update to O-mr1 based kernel (cosmedd/[email protected]) which also fixes the Aroma installer upside down bug.

Due to the change in the size of the partitions you should redo your backups, if you have any.

Enjoy! ^_^

Sounds great, but @cosmedd you still haven't explained where to download it from... Presumably this is newer/different than the 20180311 build on your github?
Where can we download the new release from?

 

[Oriwen]

I would say official twrp page but seems like that page is down (twrp.me).

 

[Terminator.J]

I would say official twrp page but seems like that page is down (twrp.me).

Except that download has been the same release date since long before the current announcement, at least as of yesterday.
edit: Looks like the release is still forthcoming, but it looks like it's the changes he made to his unofficial 20180311 fork that got merged into the official TWRP github, so if you're running the 20180311 release from his personal github, you've got the features of the new release already. At least, if I'm reading that right (I am not an expert githubber quite yet).

Hit Thanks if i help you

where to download this version please?

[GuestD0097]

Sorry for the delay. I just learn that the TWRP admins make manual releases when you need a build ahead of their official releases.

You already have the new build available on their servers: https://twrp.me/zuk/zukz2row.html

Sorry. It seems that TWRP made an invalid build without the changes that I merged.

This build should work, since it is the one I was using: https://github.com/cosmedd/android_...eases/download/20180311/20180311_recovery.img

 

[GuestD0097]

Finally, TWRP fixed the official build.: https://twrp.me/zuk/zukz2row.html
