I can't find any zips or okilabs folder, am I missing something? I'm interested in EDL backup/restoring on older B32 ROMs but can't with this recovery.Well, the sources are at glance. You just have to unzip the zip files in the okilabs folder and you will find the shell script code. The UI part is under the twres also available for inspection in raw xml text files. The rest of the binaries are standard TWRP 3.2.3-0 so just go to the TeamWin repository for their sources.
I've tried both
TWRP_3.2.3-0L_v1.3-Axon7-Labs_Mod.img
and
TWRP_3.2.3-0L_v1.3.B12-Axon7-Labs_Mod.img
Neither one seems to be able to decrypt internal storage.
In fact, the majority of the Lab scripts do not seem to function what so ever.
Anyone else having this issue?
Damn me too. 50 percent loss of battery capacity . In the morning my phone is turned off. Sometimes 50 percent left or nothing at all. Weird. Did a complete restore (all partitions) and problem still exists. Also did a recalibration.@Oki can you tell more about deep wipe? I did the deep wipe on 60% (for clean flash) and now i face major battery calibration issues,even after go stock and clean flash.Can you recommend something?

Used the international Ota oreo update. After that I backed up all partitions. Then installed the recovery (unlocked the bootloader months ago). Did not install a seperate boot stack. I will try an edl restore tomorrow (my own backup and maybe the Ota provided here by sideloading) which has stock recovery. Right now I am not sure I did a complete edl restore after the problem occurred. Busy having two kids so my memory is a bit out of sync. Keep you informed in the coming week. Thank you for your quick response.I've had the same problem,sorry man.Can't really help because the problem is unknown,I fixed it once but their is no procedure.A battery replace will not fix it so I would avoid that for now.
What ROM did you flashed and bootstack?Which axon version?
Can you flash twrp from nfound,treble version,and flash party zip for vendor?If it says vendor is still ther,don't delete it,cancel the operation.Go back to twrp and wipe all partitions,also vendor!Reboot in twrp and make sure all partitions are wiped and are ext4, if this is not the case format data.Then flash the party zip,delete vendor partition,reboot twrp.Flash party zip again to make sure its gone
Huh? Didn't notice the final lines of your post. Will try. I have the nfound recovery right now and using the A2017G.I've had the same problem,sorry man.Can't really help because the problem is unknown,I fixed it once but their is no procedure.A battery replace will not fix it so I would avoid that for now.

Reboot twrp again and try to mount vendor,if it mounts,delete again with party zip,if it doesn't mount the vendor partition will be probably gone.(reboot twrp if you used party zip)
Now you should go flash stock nougat ROM or a twrp for nougat and custom nougat ROM with the according bootstack (I used los14 bootstack and nuclearom)
No problem mate.LABS MOD Q & A
Hi Oki,
Since you made this great tool I'm just going to make a list of questions/situations ( I know the answers but i leave this up to you as you're right in the middle of it) which could be very usefull to members/starters before trying this out : (all with unlocked bootloader)
This guide should work. If you specifically want to use the backup of that version, then add two steps:1. I'm on 7.1.1 stock, official twrp3210, encrypted and want to test some Pie and revert back to my own backup I made myself in twrp3210. What do you recommend ?
This guide should work.
No, TWRP Labs Mod is a recovery, it won't format or overwrite any partition other than your previous recovery. IntSD is wiped only when you format your userdata partition. That happens when you add or remove the vendor partition in front of the userdata partition, or when changing the filesystem between ext4/f2fs.3. Would installing your LabsMod always mean my intSD will be wiped too ?
TWRP Labs Mod is able to restore the official backups. NFound versions use a different folder to store the TWRP backups. All you have to do is to move the NFound's TWRP backup folder to the official location, which is a folder with the ID of your device inside /external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS.4. Can I always restore backups made with official twrp, twrp3218 Nfound or LOS version ?
There is always a risk of having a complete brick if you do not take the correct measures. For your safety and peace of mind, I always recommend the use of a Bootstack supporting the EDL boot by using the VolUp+VolDn+Power combo. The EDL Backup creates ZIP files that can be either be flashed like any other TWRP zip file or by extracting the contents in your PC and flash them using MiFlash or any other similar tool. So there is no risk as long as you can boot to EDL and have an EMERGENCY EDL backup on hand.5. Since the tool is somehow EDL bulletproof, would this mean 4th cat. brick is never going to happen again ?
You have to remove the vendor when going back to stock. Just run the PARTY tool and remove it if you have it in your system. No need to wipe it.6. Should I always wipe ' treble' vendor when going back to stock ? And how ?
The easiest way to do that is by flashing the EDL package from a computer. However you can always remove the vendor partition and flash any backup ZIP of the stock system.7. I'm on B12 bootstack (Nfound) with AEX treble vendor. Can I go back to stock and how ? What to use ?
Flash the EDL package for the stock ROM and relock the bootloader. There are some guides for doing that. TWRP don't help on that. No matter what you need a pc for unlock and relock.8. I'm using your tool but want to go to full stock with locked bootloader to sell the phone. Is that possible ?
PARTY can create 2 different sizes in 4 locations of the eMMC. The recommended one is the end of the system partition. This way there is no need to reformat the Data and intSD, vendor can be added and removed on the go, and the host partition can be hot resized without losing any content, in other words, the files inside the partitions remain untouched.9. Is your vendor partition created within System or user data ? Should this in any way effect using any (s)GSI roms in future ?
The FULL EDL backup doesn't have any personal, or device data such as IMEI, SN, MAC, etc... so you can share it with everyone. Only EMERGENCY and ALL options include device specific partitions.10. When making a full EDL backup, is it possible to share my backup without personal data ?
There is no need to do that. LOS bootstack is actually a B12 bootstack. The risk is the lack of EDL boot support using the button combo. The Bootstack linked in question 5 is compatible with all LOS and NFound ROMs and include EDL boot key combo.11. Can I switch from B12 bootstack to LOS bootstack and back ? Are there any risks and what should I do ?
It is up to you. MINIMAL allows you to boot recovery and flash anything. FULL includes also an OS. Probably EMERGENCY+FULL, or MINIMAL+ALL could provide cover for any situation.12. Would it be recommended to always have a MINIMAL EDL backup when I do not have any Full backup ?
The Bootloader unlocked message removal works with B32, B10 and B12 bootstacks.13. Works the Bootloader Unlock message removal on any A7 device ?
The standard recommendation: do NEVER flash, wipe, create or delete without a complete backup of your device and a bootstack with EDL key combo support. If you are covered, then you are safe.14. Are there certain things that certainly have to be avoided using your tool ?
Yes, you can. Just flash the other version and reboot to recovery. I was even thinking in integrating a dual kernel boot, switching from one to the other with the press of a button to trigger the swap and the recovery reboot. This is one of the improvement projects.15. Can I switch between your two versions depending on my need ? What should I do ?
PARTY allows that, but having the vendor next to system allows for a quick on/off of the vendor partition, and then there is no need to reformat anything. Adding the vendor using data as the host partition can affect the userdata and makes things more complicated.16. Can the tool flash the vendor partition to user data so wiping vendor wouldn't be needed anymore to go back to non-treble/vendor backups ?
An EDL backup can be restored with any TWRP regardless of the bootstack or TWRP version. Or flashed from the PC using MiFlash.17. Can a full EDL backup made with OL always be restored on another A7 with OL B12 setup ?
