Updated:

First of all, note that TWRP is now the recovery-fakecache variant and special instructions are needed to be able to flash ROMs

Please read the glassrom thread on how to set up the fakecache

Changelog: TWRP has better support for SD810 now
TWRP now has full EAS support
TWRP now has schedboost enabld
Encryption blobs are now source built instead of using dirty hacks
TWRP can now backup every partition on your storage chip (except limits)
TWRP can now use all 8 cores of the SD810
TWRP can now wipe the vendor partition so ROMs that use the vendor partition as the cache partition can be flashed with the same recovery
TWRP can now mount and backup all partitions android mounts during runtime
TWRP has been updated to support P. You can flash P ROMs now
TWRP can now backup your entire data partition to a USB drive. Note that if your data partition is encrypted then the backup will also be encrypted. This backup will include internal storage. This is an experimental feature and no support will be provided if you use it
TWRP's kernel has been updated to the December 5 security patch
TWRP itself has been updated to android 9

Oh and I forgot to say this

TWRP can now backup your bootloader state

Example: take a nandroid of bootloader data on a locked bootloader and then take one on an unlocked bootloader

Now you can switch between locked and unlocked bootloader state by using nandroid backups

This feature is experimental. Please be careful with it as I will not be taking responsibility for any damage

That sounds really cool can't wait to mess with it!

Very important

Guys do not restore EFS backups taken from older recoveries

Older recoveries (including official) did not backup the correct EFS partition while this one does

If you restore such a backup you will lose IMEI

Only restore an EFS backup if you took it on the same build of TWRP as the one you're using

When I download the recovery and flash I get TWRP 3.2.3 which gives me an error 7 when flashing LOS. Reverting back to 3.2.1

Read the glassrom thread

You must setup a fakecache image file and mount it at /cache manually to be able to flash ROMs

Great work on TWRP you did here :) :eek:;):good:
Any chance that a fix for the /cache is out so that users don't need to use any ADB commands in order to flash zips ?
even a single-time solution, like an auto zip mount of fakecache from /sdcard is welcome.
I hope you will continue with the development . :D
much obliged . :angel:

Yes I am working on 3.3.0 currently. Fakecache might be removed one day
