[RECOVERY] [UNOFFICIAL] [TWRP] [OnePlus 8T] [OOS13] [3-3-23]

However, the simplest (and recommended) way is to install the TWRP installable zip as a Magisk module.

Really? Thanks for the tip, that's great!
My OP8T OOS13 F.15 is already rooted, so basically in Magisk Manager, Modules section: Instal from storage, and pick twrp-installer.zip. ?

Correct

 

[ArletPDR]

Using root in a terminal session (I use Termux) find the active slot suffix: getprop ro.boot.slot_suffix
Then install the TWRP image using [/icode]dd if=<TWRP image> of=/dev/block/by-name/recovery<active slot suffix>[/icode]

For example, on my phone (I'm on slot b) the command would be: dd if=/sdcard/TWRP-12-3.7.0-apo-230119.img of=/dev/block/by-name/recovery_b

That worked flawlessly, but it cannot mount data

Works fine for me. I'm on OOS 13 F15

I tried to help a guy with KB2003 variant to flash from a custom ROM to OOS 13 and it didn't work. He was using EvoX already on f.15 FW. I can't recall the exact error now, but it must be something within OOS I'm thinking. After the flash it just kept booting to the bootloader. Ended up just using MSM to get him going again though. He was using a Mac though. Had to borrow a laptop from a friend with Windows for MSM.

Poor guy didn't know Virtual Machines existed.. lol. That would've been so easy. Hell he could've just done virtualbox for it.

 

[pr3dicament]

Anyway, um.. i have run into a MAJOR problem. Regarding any kind of recovery including TWRP, OrangeFox, and so on are not really cutting it at the moment. I can't flash anything. And I'm having a bit of difficulty with that. I tried every single damn TWRP and OrangeFox for this device that i could. No dice for me.. any thoughts? Please? This is basically the crux of it all. It just doesn;t ask me for my pattern and therefore doesb;t decrypt anything so i literally cant copy files or do much with adb. i mean adb works, but I can't do anything, Major issue. The Recovery should be asking me for my pattern/passphrase/pw etc.

Whatever I guess.. not sure if this weill help. Please, everyone, I need help, and yes, my installation is 100% clean.

 

[parag0n1986]

Has anyone tested/used on LOS20?? Los twrp is ok but it has it's limitations so i'm looking for better. Specially if backup/restores would faster.

My backup and restore was probably fast because I used a two and a half inch SSD with a USB-C to USB-C cable. Also however it was built I'm sure he had something to do with it as well but it was the fastest backup and restore I've ever seen with TWRP.

 

[apophis9283]

I'm on custom rom
Pixel Experience Plus 13
Android 13

It won't work on pixel experience because they changed decryption which makes no sense to me but I'm sure they had their reasons

Yeah, he could barely run the Mac! Want about to try and throw that in the mix!

 

[TheNewHEROBRINE]

I can confirm this TWRP works even on Android 12! The only thing that doesn't work for me is adb backup --twrp to make a TWRP backup directly on PC, I don't know if this feature has been removed maybe.

Thanks for the heads up

I see this is a bit old, and maybe my response is too obvious. But, did you try removing your lock screen before booting to twrp? Or isn't your system available right now?

It's all good now. It was PEBKAC as I simply wasn't patient. four hours later it was all good.

Ever since I got r/w working on my phone with Android 13, people have been messaging me like crazy to help them

Would getting it working be as easy as copying the fstab over from PEPlus into TWRP's ramdisk? It must be possible to get it working somehow, open source and all, no?

I mean, if anyone wants the source its there. Ive just been really busy as of late. Ive been meaning to redo the kernel for twrp just havent had the chance. I just use a stripped down version of my kernel.

 

[apophis9283]

I rebased my kernel for TWRP plus what ever repo sync brought in. So thats updated.

the second part to this is I blindly tried to compile for Pixel Experience users. do not flash it, boot it first.

I did some testing on the TWRP-REBASE-TEST version.
On the plus side, it's fast! Here's the time it took to do the same backup on TEST and twrp-3 (running tail on the backup recovery logs):

==> TWRP-REBASE-TEST.log <==
 * Digest Created.
I:Partition Backup time: 64
Average backup rate for file systems: 115 MB/sec
[7448 MB TOTAL BACKED UP]
Updating partition details...
I:checking for twrp app
I:Data backup size is 7380MB, free: 54296MB.
...done
I:Unmounting main partitions...
[BACKUP COMPLETED IN 65 SECONDS]

==> twrp-3.log <==
 * Digest Created.
I:Partition Backup time: 84
Average backup rate for file systems: 87 MB/sec

Updating partition details...
I:checking for twrp app
I:Data backup size is 7380MB, free: 46831MB.
...done

[BACKUP COMPLETED IN 85 SECONDS]

However, the backup files are created with the wrong attributes for /sdcard and cannot be accessed once the phone has booted back into system. See the ll.txt file in the attached zip.

Attached zip also contains the backup recovery logs for both TWRP-REBASE-TEST and twrp-3

As I get more time, I will look into it. in the mean time, if anyone wants to do pull request to make it better, I am all for that and saving me time.
