https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5ePoKNP9UFtM1R5MW1vdjFGOGc/view?usp=sharing
How to use:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-z1-2860.img
Changelog:
v2.8.6.0:
Nothing much, just add support for Z1 and F2FS
Bugs: The image/icon may look weird because I have to compress all icon to make room for new update....Limited space for us to "hack" it...
You tell me
This thread will be main support for TWRP to use with CM/CM-based rom or maybe stock rom too by me...Stay update
I will update it ASAP when new TWRP version come out....
P/S: "TekCafe" is just the name of my support group...If you guys not like it, I will make another without that name....
Tested on AICP 9.0
Click "Thanks" if you find it useful...

Thanks. Everything is working perfectly we just seem to have 2 home buttons now. The 1 home button functions like the back button so it's just cosmetic

I compress and reuse all the icon so you may find broken artifact icon, duplicated,...It's just cosmetic, every function work just as fine....

You should install NUT XZDR...:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I'm interested in the F2FS. My kernel has support, but I can't format system to it. Will this TWRP format stock 4.4.4 to full F2FS?
Best regards

Is it compiled from source or repacked from Sirius?

You already answer that question.....

Does the latest CM12 nightly support F2FS already?

Hi,
I've changed /system and /cache successfully, but I cannot convert /data to f2fs. Formats to ext4 correctly, but even after I formatted ext4, rebooting to recovery and formatting it to f2fs fails.
Code:
Formatting Data using mkfs.f2fs...
E:Unable to wipe '/data'.
E:Unknown MTP message type: 1
E:Error changing file system.
Updating partition details...
I have unlocked bootloader, Xperia Z1 (c6903 honami) running 5.1 with Resurrection Remix 5.4.1 kernel and ROM. I have not encrypted device.
Thoughts?
FIXED! I was able to format it by using terminal from TWRP and typing
Code:
mkfs.f2fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata
then I rebooted device into recovery to update partition table, then Wipe > Repair/Change Filesystem > Data
Code:
current file system: f2fs
Yay!

There could be 2 reasons: one, you are not properly flashing, as you need to do
fastboot flash recovery "name of file": second, if you have kernel with TWRP integrated, the two will collide resulting in no recovery at all...

Hi
Does it work for stock android 5.0.2 build .270 ?!
Thank you

Does this work 14.6.A.0.368

I have been trying to reflash this, however when I try to boot in to TWRP all I get is the fastboot mode on my phone which doesn't allow me to do anything. I recently just uninstalled MultiRom for the same reasons, but now since I have removed MultiRom I cannot get into TWRP at all. Does anyone have any ideas?

File doesn't exist anymore

From Custom to Stock - Bunch of errors

If you guys help me to go back successfully to stock, I'll make a guide to explain the process, maybe for all 3 models. I just need help on this one
I have an A2017G
So this is my fourth time trying to get back to stock. the first one resulted on a DFU brick. The second one was through MiFlash and the system had random reboots. The third, I flashed tron1's A2017G B04 Bootstack and a DrakenFX flashable zip (for the U, just wanted to try) and TWRP said that there was no system which turned out to be true... i had wiped system, data and caches before, but it seemingly installed okay...
I also tried to use MiFlash again and get B10, but it started to throw an error out of the blue (the specified cast is not valid, or something along the lines). I used it at least 4 times before.
So what zip should I use? I never tried flashing one of those update zips (I have full official B10 on the sdcard) but I believe they won't work. Please tell me if they do work...
again, if i manage to get SAFELY to stock and AVOID DFU I'll make a nice guide so that we stop asking. Most custom roms are flawed, for ex. Lineage has bad compatibility, Pure Nexus (the one I'm using now) has extreme, Galaxy Y grade lag, and RR simply works worse than stock (it's probably the best one of the bunch though).

i am in in the process of going back to stock(A2017), will let you know.

I don't think you should when having TWRP loaded on your RAM and your system probably not there...
My DFU brick was just because of that
but if you insist, turn your phone off and hold the two volume keys, then connect the USB cable (it has to be connected to the PC obviously)

Still had TWRP

Mount -> Unmount /data

could you tell us how you did to get to stock? What's your device, A2017G? What did you flash?
That's pretty much everything I want to know

A2017U from LOS to stock using the files on https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68873482
The only reason I mentioned it when I have the United States model is because I have ran into a problem on multiple devices going from CyanogenMod to any sort of AOSP-based ROM without clicking that format data button. The first time I ran into the problem comma I could not mount my data partition.
I advised @satish.yarramsetti about this here. @satish.yarramsetti, can you confirm that the ZIP I linked you to in the other thread is the one you flashed and is booting?

I am Nuclear Rom(LOS Based) and tried to go back to stock. I have followed all tutorials but when i try to reboot, TWRP warned me that there is no OS. So i didn't reboot as it might remove TWRP ( it might have booted but not sure) ( i also flashed NO verify zip) , so i thought of formatting in wipe menu which caused a lot of problems like cant mount data & device busy errors . I tried to flash N boot loader and mod but every FLASH is getting failed. So i decided to restart and luckily i have TWRP and no os and my nandroid back up niether worked.
Finally i flashed Clean LOS.

Understood. I have received that same warning in the past after flashing stock. At any rate, if there's no OS installed, there's nothing to overwrite TWRP. The phone would just sit at the ZTE logo and you would have to hold Vol Up+Power to get back into TWRP. If you decided to try again, at least you know you can restore LOS if it doesn't work... Good luck.

Yu Yureka boots into "FASTBOOT MODE"

So I recently rooted and flashed a custom rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/yureka/general/rom-bootleggers-rom-v2-1-volte-t3777131) on my device, all was working fine until I realized that I didn't flash gapps. Downloaded gapps tried flashing (on TWRP) it but I got the error "error executing updater binary" . Googled up for a solution and got this:
Step 1:- Go to recovery.
Step 2:- Go to Wipe>>Advanced wipe.
Step 3:- Check data, system, cache & dalvik cache and then swipe to wipe all.
Step 4:- Then go to install zip from SD card and browse the Rom and install it.
Step 5:- Reboot the device
After this, somehow, I lost the rom but had my TWRP recovery still but I was able to flash the rom again using "minimal adb and fastboot". Everything was working fine but I still didn't have gapps and I thought I did something wrong with the steps aforementioned so I took a shot at those steps again. And boom! my device now keeps booting into "FASTBOOT MODE"(can't even go to recovery) and I tried several methods to try and fix and the most frequent "fix" I got for this on Google was to use adb and fastboot and use the command "fastboot oem unlock" but that didn't help either. PLEASE HELP ME OUT. JUST NEED TO GET A RECOVERY (TWRP/CWM) and flash my rom

fastboot -i 0x1ebf erase cache
fastboot -i 0x1ebf erase userdata
Flash twrp 3.2.2
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash recovery twrp_3.2.2.img

Thank you very much!! I am so sorry for the late af reply, got a little carried away with some other thing(s). I got the recovery now and I used a micro SD card to flash the rom but the problem now is that I'm getting the error 7 ("Updater process ended with ERROR: 7 Error installing zip file "/external_sd/" followed by filename.zip)
and then it says "Updating partition details... Failed to mount '/cache' (Invalid arguement)
...done"
I do not understand what seems to be the problem....I thought the issue might be with me trying to flash it via the memory card so I tried using the "adb sideload" method which yielded the same results. I have no idea what is to be done now

Thank you very much!!!!! That did it! You da man ) just one last query, I'm about to flash gapps(which was the root of all the problems) and I've downloaded the gapps 64 bit cos yu yureka is ARM with 64 bit cpu architecture right?
Edit: I went ahead and tried flashing it with the 64 bit one and after getting the regular twrp messages I got one as "Insufficient storage space available in system partition. You may want to use a smaller open GApps package or consider removing some apps using gapps-config. See:'/sdcard/open_gapps_log.txt' for complete information"
But right now I did a factory reset(ty again) and there's absolutely nothing in my internal storage. The last passage on twrp looks like this ;
"Error Code: 70
-Unmounting /persist /system
Updater process ended with ERROR: 70
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/open_gapps-arm64-8.1-stock-20180705.zip' "

Internal storage and /system partition are different things.
Either download the Pico Gapps package or increase the /system partition size.

Make sure to read everything and only follow it once you understand everything or you always have a risk of bricking your device. You can also opt for Pico Gapps package if you want where you probably won't have to increase any partition size.

After flashing custom ROM, my data partition was encrypted.

Need some help here.
I have a mate 9 US variant. I was directed here from [Recovery][10-09-2018][3.2.3-0] TWRP for the Huawei Mate 9 (hi3660) (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-twrp-huawei-mate-9-hi3660-t3834796).
1) Successfully installed TWRP 3.2.3.
2) Backed up my /system partiton using TWRP to my ext SD card.

Just found these two post have different TWRP files. The version numbers are the same, but file sizes are not. Is successful with the TWRP posted in this page.

@micky387 Hi!
One Question, the fstab file was taken from Honor View 10 forum or you modded that? Because I the one that I'm using was taken from there.
First I did the wipes on Twrp but my internal storage wasn't recognized when the phone booted, so I had to wipe using stock recovery and it worked, now I can use my internal memory on Twrp.

Hi guys.
OP updated
* Update script with busybox mount program , more stable as previous script
* Update TWRP with Static Busybox ,last teamwin stuff and some other fix

One Question, the fstab file was taken from Honor View 10 forum or you modded that? Because I the one that I'm using was taken from there.
First I did the wipes on Twrp but my internal storage wasn't recognized when the phone booted, so I had to wipe using stock recovery and it worked, now I can use my internal memory on Twrp.

Hi,
first, fstab is from Mate 9. The only diff with View 10 is this line.
Code:
/devices/platform/e7f00000.hifi_usb/* auto auto defaults voldmanaged=usbotg:auto
you can add it in my fstab if you want for your device
for the second question ,I have already noted that for me, just restart in recovery mode to fix this
With TWRP do you use ?

Thanks for the answer
On my last testing, I flashed your fstab without problems and wiped using stock.
To flash your zip, first I need to use this twrp https://forum.xda-developers.com/9-lite/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3789306 it boots even if the phone is encrypted but you need a sdcard, after the decrypt is done, I replace it with this twrp https://marijuana.ddo.jp/cm/recovery

No, I saw the link on this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77262856&postcount=166 but I think @love_marijuana is the dev, because of the splash screen of the twrp :silly: talk to him bro.

We can use all TWRP feature now in Stock kernel.
Because Huawei has removed setenforce permission into kernel , the recovery script (setenforce 0) dont work , so "use" adb and other stuff was blocked by selinux

Return to stock emui/encryption
Hello!
I have a mate 9 c432 b370 with LineageOS 16 by micky (but due to stopped development i want to go back, the other treble roms just aren't working that well as rhis one, and I'm having a bit of bad battery life right now)
My question is:
"If you want to come back to stock EMUI/Encryption data ,reboot into erecovery and use "download last firmware and recovery" and follow the steps"
Is this the only way to go back to stock/encryption?
A wipe data or factory reset on emui stock recovery wouldn't work?
I'm asking because i have decrypted a while ago.
The last time i tried to use erecovery it said "no packages available" with an exclamation mark.
I have flashed stock system, kernel, ramdisk and recovery to boot back several times, but this time i have decrypted the internal storage...
Just need confirmation and/or possible solution to this. @micky387
Thanks in advance

hello @micky387
noob question. is it possible to work on a mate 8 debrand(AL10C00) atm im running openkirin omnirom 5.2,

P10 Lite / WAS-LX1
Works on P10 Lite (WAS-LX1) with a fitting TWRP (I used Darkjokers 3.3.1). Used the zip over ADB sideload, so no external SD needed. Thanks for showing us da wae pal :good:

Hey dudes will this work on mate 8 Oreo ? If soon could you mod it for it ? Thanks

If you check by the dates, it was all discussed at the time of EMUI 8/Oreo.
Earlier with Nougat, there was no such problem (TWRP was able to access internal storage).
To the other side, with current EMUI 9.1, Vendor is read-only and proposed modifications will not work

TWRP can't decrypt

Hi all!
I've been using the 6T for a while (great phone, veeeery slippery!), I've rooted it without any problem (twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6).
Now, before doing the OTA updates, I want to do a nandroid backup, but it always fails with the message:
Code:
I:Error adding file '/data/data/tcTMGKoV3DJi2BtFo,DVwA/NdOFCMKtKQfG60hOSGJXIB/utPFuENU2UMyfeNmcGVBFC' to '/usbstorage/TWRP/BACKUPS/506bb395/2018-12-09--12-59-20/data.ext4.win000'

[B]createTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255[/B]
Backup Failed. Cleaning Backup Folder.
When TWRP starts it doesn't ask for the password (I've a password, no patern).
I've tried to decrypt in the terminal
Code:
~ # twrp decrypt PASSWORD
Attempting to decrypt data partition via command line.
Failed to decrypt data
The log:
Code:
I:Command 'decrypt PASSWORD' received
I:Set page: 'singleaction_page'
I:operation_start: 'TWRP CLI Command'
Attempting to decrypt data partition via command line.
get_crypt_ftr_info crypto key location: ''
Unexpected value for crypto key location
Error getting crypt footer and key
Failed to decrypt data.
Am I the only one having this problem?
How can I solve it?
Thanks!

The only reason I know of to use the BluSpark recovery is if you want to use OP6 roms? Why aren't you using one of the OP6T TWRP?
Right now there are problems with backup and recovery anyways, so you maybe out of luck even if you did have a backup. I've had zero issues updating my phone flashing the full package. Just make you flash the TWRP installer again after you flash the the full ROM, reboot to recovery again, flash Magisk again. Reboot to the system finally. Instructions for TWRP users are in this post.

Because I've followed this guide https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t-unlock-bootloader-root/ and right now I want to stay on OxygenOS. I've been on LineageOS for years and I love all the settings that it has, but I'm tired of unstable ROMS!

The guide you are following is over a month old now and development has progressed since then. The principals are the same, just use one of the newer TWRP, specifically for the OP6T. Though currently unofficial, most of the features now work, including decryption. I believe one of the test versions supports full backup and restore also now, though I haven't tested it myself. Great work from XDA developers as usual.

I can confirm, both of the new, unofficial twrps's are fully functional. As far as the necessities go. Not sure about aroma, as I don't use any of those. But, backup and restore, function perfectly. As well as decryption, obviously

It says backup still having some problem and I already have installed twrp blu spark version. I think this problem is due to encrypted phone.

I'm running into this issue, too. I just flashed the latest OP zip as well as TWRP installer, and after flashing a ROM and TWRP installer, I rebooted to TWRP. I was about to flash Magisk and gapps, however I discovered my filenames were all scrambled.

Do you mean by formatting data via TWRP? I can do that, once I get home and can copy all my files to my computer.

If you have a oneplus 6t it won't work, decryption is still an issue on oneplus 6t. If you want to decrypt this badly you can follow this thread. I haven't tried it yet but you can give it a go. Do tell how did it go.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/one...overy-t3861482
Meanwhile or if you don't want to decrypt your phone, you can install magisk and gapps via adb sideload or using an otg. It has nothing to do with encryption. Encrypted phone will not let you make nandroid backups on the phone's internal storage and you will have to flash zip files using adb sideload or otg storage.
I have installed zips with this method without decrypting the phone.

Latest OnePlus Zip and Gapps? Why would you flash Gapps?
In my experiences this is caused by:
1. TWRP did not ask for a PIN, which can be corrected by another reboot (typically).
2. You are trying to use a OP6 recovery and a OP6T ROM, or vice versa. In that case, use the correct recovery for the ROM you are trying to use and your data will become readable. Even if you only need it to be temporary to pull it.
3. You ran AOSP rom and now your DATA partition is formatted for that. It will have to be formatted before OP6T recovery will read it. A OP6 recovery will read it.
There are no problems with OP6T recovery that I've found decrypting anything if you are aware of the caveats. So far the only issue really seems to be backing up / restoring still. Hopefully this helps.
*edit* I should add that OP6 recoveries would read AOSP data partitions before, I haven't tested this since the release of "dedicated" OP6T AOSP roms. So let us know what you find. *edit*

I ran across the same problem with my OnePlus 6.
Just do this:
- Download official twrp.
- Reboot to fastboot mode
- boot with it (fastboot boot ***.img)
Now it will temporarily boot and ask for decrypt password. Hola!

I'm having the same issue and flashing the latest TWRP didn't solve it. Can't boot into system either, it just loops me back to TWRP.
