Dumb it down a bit. What is now the go-for recovery for our Poco devices? (link please)
What is meant with 'go-ahead'. To release/maintain a fork or are some alteration integrated in the official release of TWRP?

This is also a nice opportunity to list any changes or reasons to adopt it maybe :p
Let me start with a link to what this is all about-> TWRP 3.6.0 is out now for most currently supported devices.

And link to our devices topic -> [RECOVERY] [11] [OFFICIAL] TeamWin Recovery Project. (maintained by Nebrassy btw)

Hello everyone, I have a problem flashing TWRP on the Poco F3. When I try via fastboot boot twrp.img, I always get the error: "FAILED (remote: Unrecognized command boot)", and when I install : fastboot flash boot twrp.img, and then install current recovery, I can boot the system won't start anymore, and it keeps rebooting into TWRP. I can then only format, flash TWRP again, and then install a ROM (Bliss ectr....), but then TWRP is gone again?!? How can I solve this problem?

the skkk img worked for A12 but on upgrading to 12.1 it says the user partition is encrypted and I can't unencrypt it by drawing the pattern. It just fails. Trying to backup boot image for installing magisk but the backup is created at a non-standard place which is not visible in the file explorer

Boot back up into your ROM and disable your security log in. Try again in TWRP.

    Introduction:

    Team Win Recovery Project or TWRP for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. 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.

    Key Features:

    Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll
    XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout true theming!
    Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots
    Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore
    Ability to choose to compress backups now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)
    Onscreen keyboard
    Easy selection of internal/external storage

    In addition to the above new features, TWRP features a scripting engine that allows an app to send commands to the recovery for the recovery to perform during startup. We call this scripting engine OpenRecoveryScript. This engine will be put to use immediately in the GooManager app. GooManager will be able to install recoveries automatically for most supported devices. The app will also let you choose to install multiple zips from within Android, wipe, and run a backup.

    We are looking for other talented developers, themers, and device maintainers if they are interested in helping with a free, open source project.


    FEATURES AND FIXES:
    1. No need to reboot TWRP after flashing ROM, to flash gapps or any other zips. All zips you flash after a ROM will automatically go to the new slot.​
    2. No need to flash TWRP everytime after flashing a ROM. TWRP automatically flashes itself after a zip (Controllable via a toggle)​
    3. Supports Hentai OS encrypted devices​
    4. Supports flashing MIUI zips​
    5. Supports Vibration​
    6. Supports wiping data without wrecking encryption. ​

    BUGS:

    On encrypted devices, if u unmount and remount /data, it will show garbage files in storage. This is because of metadata encryption and to fix it, reboot recovery.


    SUPPORTS AND TESTED ON:
    Mi11x (aliothin)


    UNSUPPORTED (BUT MAY WORK):
    Poco F3, Redmi K40 (alioth)


    FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS:

    Boot into attached boot.img using the following command:
    Code: 
    fastboot boot twrp-aliothin.img

    Once booted, go to Advanced -> Press "Flash current booted TWRP"

    KNOWN LIMITATIONS:

    The following are some known limitations due to either the design nature of Virtual A/B or a problem with ROM themselves. Please read carefully :-

    1. You cannot format data after flashing a ROM zip (Limitation of Virtual A/B). If you want to format, then reboot recovery after flashing ROM. Additionally, if you are encrypted, the newly flashed ROM must be able to decrypt your device. If not, then you have to format data before flashing the ROM It appears, you can actually format data after reboot even if the new ROM cannot decrypt.
    2. You can flash only one ROM in one boot. If you wanna flash another ROM, you must boot to system once. This is again a limitation of Virtual A/B.
    3. Once you have rebooted after flashing a ROM, you cannot write to the data partition until you boot successfully to the new ROM. Android seals the data partition after a ROM flash to prevent any accidental brick since the newly flashed ROM is actually stored in /data. Only data format is allowed in this case. Once you successfully boot to the new ROM, your storage becomes ready for writing again.
    4. Ideally, after flashing a new ROM, you should only need to wipe your data rather than format. But, due to a problem in the device trees current ROMs are using, you will have to format data if you are currently on miui and want to switch to a custom ROM. Specifically, the roms need this commit and to set vendor security patch level to fix this issue. Switching between custom ROMs should not need format, except for hentai OS.
    5. If you are currently on hentai OS, then before using TWRP, you must flash vendor_boot from the link provided in every hentai OS release. Otherwise, you will get black screen. This is only needed when you boot to TWRP for the first time. Do not repeat this step again. Also, do not try this with beta version of the ROM. Use it only with stable.
    6. If you reboot to older slot after flashing new ROM, the new ROM will be cancelled and you will have to reflash again. This is because of how Virtual A/B works.
    7. If you must flash magisk via recovery (it's not recommended now), please uncheck "Inject TWRP after install" else TWRP will remove magisk.
    8. Do not flash magisk after flashing a ROM before reboot. Magisk's zip detects slot in a different way that will cause issues.
    9. Backuptool (used to persist magisk and gapps across ROM updates) will also not work in recovery due to A/B. You will have to flash gapps (or any other zips) everytime after flashing a ROM.

    New build uploaded. Download link stays the same.

    CHANGES:

    * Fix a bug due to which some ROMs failed to flash if currently on a custom ROM.
    * Fix "flash current TWRP" failing when decryption failed.
    * Fix data wipe not wiping ROM data completely.

    Also, it seems if the ROM you are flashing does not support encryption, you can format your data partition after a reboot (as opposed to what I mentioned in the known limitations section earlier.)

    New build uploaded.

    CHANGES:-

    * Fixed TWRP auto flash error after flashing ROM. (It was due to magisk)
    * Fixed fastbootd commands returning "command not allowed on locked device"


    Limitations have been updated to mention an issue with flashing magisk and backuptool after ROM flash :-

    Do not flash magisk after flashing a ROM before reboot. Magisk's zip detects slot in a different way that will cause issues.

    Backuptool (used to persist magisk and gapps across ROM updates) will also not work in recovery due to A/B. You will have to flash gapps (or any other zips) everytime after flashing a ROM.

    Found a way to keep both TWRP & Magisk:
    1. Flash rom with inject twrp toggled
    2. Reboot to twrp
    3. Flash magisk without inject twrp.
    4. Reboot to system
