Development [RECOVERY] [UNOFFICIAL] TWRP-3.5.1 [20210702]

[Techguy777]

My poco f3 will be here tomorrow or Tuesday. Im wondering if the process has changed at all with TWRP 3.5.2?

Also would you guys recommend I update to the latest firmware first before trying to unlock bootloader and flash twrp?

thanks

You can just initiate the bootloader unlock because it takes 7 days as you may or may not know. Firmware first need to be updated but you can if you like it has no bearing on bootloader unlocking

Awesome I appreciate it. What firmware is the best to be on for flashing custom roms? I definitely plan on flashing custom roms. Also Lsposed, and other magisk modules. What firmware are you on?

just make sure your latest rom is flashed before installing a custom rom then follow the custom roms instructions which usually require your latest stock rom to be flashed.

I know it's usually common sense but it's really not. With Samsung Ive updated my firmware and bootloader to a firmware that I couldn't use the permissive kernel and regretted it. So even though it's mostly the same with everything there are times when it's not and before I update to a version I can rollback I want to know.

I'm coming from the S10 lite which I love but this has the 120hz display, SD870 and dual speakers. I'm giving the s10 lite to my dad because his S7 just went dead.

You will not need to roll back but in miui if need be it is possible I used to have a Samsung s8 and they are quite complicated which is not the case with miui. Once you get the phone just follow the guides it will be straight forward.

@vasishath TWRP working great on Mi 11x for the most part, so thanks for your work!​

There are few misses that you can improve in the future builds.

- It's missing Busybox so commands like fstrim doesn't work through terminal.
- I made system r/w using attached zip from 4pda forum, and I can edit system partition when phone is booted but for some reason TWRP still doesn't allow modification directly through recovery even though partition is r/w. May be you can take a closer look.

PS: I believe our super partition (system, vendor, system_ext) is only "soft read-only" so, attached zip allows turning it off, without rebuilding entire super partition.

can somebody enlighten me, I can't flash DotOS 5.2 with the latest TWRP

Flashing A/B ZIP to inactive slot: A
Error applying update: 1 (ErrorCode: kError)
updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file...............

same error with slot B, currently running on crDriod not rooted. Should I flash stock firmware?

[sam00561]

That is not possible because of the A/B partition system.

So what do I do if I flash a rom and it bootloops? How do I recover

You need to either format data and if that does not work you have to use the miflash tool which flashes the stock ROM via fastboot.

I appreciate you helping me, one last thing. Which rom would you recommend I've heard EU rom, crdroid and arrow are the most talked about. I'm currently on miui global 12.5.6.

I've been on all of them and currently im on crdroid seems to be working very well. I'll probably change again soon due to being a flashaholic but I'm finding cr droid working well.

I had stable EU rom installed and I updated it by rebooting into twrp flashing the zip and just wiping cache. After reboot the rom loaded perfectly but I was no longer rooted. SO I rebooted back into twrp which I noticed was changed to twrp 3.5.1 so I went into advanced and installed recovery ramdisk twrp img of 3.5.2 and than flashed magisk. When I tried rebooting it said no OS is installed reboot anyway. So I tried it and rom rebooted fine. Now every time I'm trying to reboot to system from twrp it says no OS installed. What do I do?

It always says no os installed in twrp on the twrp
For this phone but usually boots so no problem.

That's weird I just got the phone about 2 weeks ago and I have had it rooted for a week. When I installed twrp after booting with fastboot I never had no OS installed. I'm glad you responded quickly though that takes a load off my mind. I didn't know what else to do because I flashed twrp again and it still said it. I would have had to flash stock and flash back to EU. Which EU rom is proving to be the best so far I just wish it had reboot to recovery power menu.
