Squid TWRP 3.2.1-r1

I've posted an updated build of my TWRP fork. It brings bug fixes related to the ADB backup feature, and also executes automated recovery scripts (such as wipe and update commands) without first waiting for the user to enter a decryption password. As usual, the download is on the downloads tab.

Guys I hv a problem with my Moto g4 play
When I switched on or restart my phone automatically fastboot screen open and then manually click Power button to start the phone.
It's happens when I unlocked my bootloader.
By the way twrp recovery and other stuff is working well. So guys what should I do? Any solution for this?

Are the changes you implemented to be part of the official TWRP or is it a decision of the developer of that ROM?
I am referring especially to the feature of not requesting the password for decryption at the time of the update.
Thanks.
I really appreciate your work.

If bootloader is unlocked (but phone is NOT rooted), will all apps see it as original, non-altered device with stock firmware?

Or will some apps (banking, etc) detect and complain that the phone is modified/altered?
Yes if the cel is not root activated the programs will see your phone as original. If you unlock the bootloader and change the recovery the phone will no longer install original manufacturer updates.

But you can use magisk to enable root access it hides the root access of all programs.

But if you do not change the original recovery will not be able to activate the root access and will simply have no advantage in unlocking the bootloader.

Instead of permanently flashing recovery, I can boot to TWRP if/when necessary:
Code:
 fastboot boot twrp.img
Of course, it will require a computer. But in this way, factory OTA updates will install. and the device will be seen by apps as unaltered.
Correct?

    This is my version of TWRP built for the 2016 Moto G Play. It should work fine, but using it is a try at your own risk procedure. Your bootloader must be unlocked to use this recovery. Fastboot mode is used to flash or boot this recovery. To enter fastboot mode, turn off your device, hold PWR and VolDn for 3 seconds, then let go.

    Differences between upstream TWRP and my fork:
    • My original green theme
    • No SuperSU
    • No TWRP app
    • No HTC Dumlock cruft
    • Updated pigz compressor (slightly faster and more tolerant of corruption)

    To temporarily boot this recovery:
    Code:
    fastboot boot twrp.img

    To permanently flash it:
    Code:
    fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

    The download is up on the downloads tab.

    I've posted a new build of my TWRP with the latest changes from upstream. It brings better support for Oreo zips while still supporting older ones. It also has improvements to the reliability of backups.

    Hello dear @_that & @squid2

    Can you make a TWRP version with the ability to Decrypt Pie ROMs ??? Even if I type the correct PIN/Password, in Recovery says: "unable to decrypt /data" :(
    Thanks a lot :)

    Sorry, I had been a combination of busy and lazy for the past 8 months, and so I didn't get to do much related to Android. I got back into it last night, and want to try getting the msm8916 common family in shape for official LineageOS 16. I don't want to make any more promises given my other broken promises, but I should be releasing updated TWRP builds for all these devices some time over the next month or so. I'm currently working on catching up on 9 months of kernel security patches.
