Does anyone know a custom ROM that has it's own recovery? I've been searching but haven't found anything yet.
I'm in doutbt that such rom even exists after CM got out of the picture, since it was the only one that had it's own recovery (CM recovery)..
Please, tell me any rom that you guys know that has it's own recovery, even if it's not for the moto g.
Thanks in advance!

Only Stock ROM has its own recovery AFAIK.
LineageOS will have its own recovery like CM...just tick that option in developer mode..

Why not use TWRP? It's more useful.

This means i won't need to manually flash Lineage's recovery after i flash the ROM itself?

I know TWRP is more useful. Actually, i have twrp on my phone and i love it, but i'm aiming to pass along this device to my elders that are not as tech sawy as i am. Só i wanted to give'em something functional, and there's where CM recovery saved me - everytime they need to factory reset their CM flashed phone they won't even need to enter bootloader to do it! I just hope it will be possible to do the same with LineageOS.
PS: i tried to do a factory reset from the settings menu with twrp on my phone and it didn't work. The phone remained exactly the same, just as if i hadn't done anything.
PS2: i know that twrp offers a factory reset option on it's menu but it would be hard to teach them how to use the recovery.
Also, some users mentioned other advantages of a ROM having it's own recovery in my other thread:

If the devs intend to make a "Lineage Recovery" for whatever other reasons, i'd be curious to know them as well
Thanks for the answer

OK probably a good idea
Hi all! I build LineageOS 13 for LG K10 MTK. But I can not check on my phone . Who will be able to test? Need wipe data and install LineageOS with TWRP. MOD EDIT
Keep it up!
If I install this rom on my phone and it will not work Can I install firmware rom with lg up, but I need dll file(from .kdz file) to replace in lg up folder. I don't want to have bricked device. (Sorry for bad english)

I'm glad to see there is development on K10 but why the heck would you make this when on mtk devices can't be flashed anything not even recovery because of "check function" on Qualcomm it was on aboot partition on Mediatek it's probably on lk. Please announce that before someone screw their phone for no reason.
Also if you make a rom thread make it to look like something like pvineth Lineage thread, add some info and device tree and such things with this info it could be tampered bomb inside..
Why u can't?

Hello,
Kindly check, confirm if this is useful and safe for other users. Please mention what are the RISKS AND REPERCUSSIONS if the flash is not successful.
It is most important

I believe that lg's security system from the 2017 febr. update prevents flashing/loading any modified boot image. So you need your stock firmware to be older than 2017 febr. to flash this OS (if i'm not mistaken it only flashes the boot, the recovery and the system partition). On the other hand you cannot modify the recovery partition at all, no matter the security patch date so before flashing this mod you need to backup your recovery partition and restore it after installing this zip - otherwise you will naturaly get shut off after the device corrupt message.
If you could build it for the k8 (k350n) i could give it a try. Please confirm that it only flashes the boot, recovery and system partition and it's not messing with lk, laf and preloader - so we can recover with lg up if anything goes wrong.
Thanks anyways!
PS. do you think its enough if i just exchange the "boot.img-kernel" file in the boot image in you're zip to mine from k8? all other necessery files looks the same (like fstab and init files). I'm also not sure if i should change the .m253. files to .mm1v. files (like ueventd.m253.rc -> ueventd.mm1v.rc and init.m253.rc -> init.mm1v.rc, etc... all files that are m253 in your boot image are mm1v in my boot image but their contents are the same). So should i exchange them or leave them untouched?
So to test it i must downgrade ROM to earlier version than 2017 feb?

Exactly. Also i believe that it has to be ported (not built) for each type (or some) of the k10 variants (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/development/stock-versions-model-lg-k10-t3457319) since there might be some difference in the hardware.
Another thing is the recovery partition. The zip itself does not contain any recovery related parts. However the OS might check the recovery during boot up and it might change the recovery partition which means it will fail to boot up again. But i didn't find anything in the zip that would change the most important partitions like lk, bootloader and laf so i'm 99% sure that we can use lg up or lg brigde to recover if we get soft bricked.

I can confirm that it's not hard bricking the device so the stock firmware can be easily reflashed by lg up (i tested three times). However i tried to port it to my k8 but i didn't succeed (never booted up).
So would you be so kind as building one for the k8? More specifically k8 - k350n. I believe you need the source (i guess it's LGK350N):
http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=k350n
and maybe device tree (if it is really the device tree):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k8/development/device-tree-device-tree-lg-k350xxx-t3549783
the firmwares you can find here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-k350n-firmwares/
Let me know if you need anything else and thanks in advance.
Naturally i don't expect you to make it, i understand if you don't. It would be just nice if you did and you'd probably make many k8 users happy...

@berkantkz
Hey what do you think, is it possible that mtk versions of K10/K8 are using this ?
To your "p.s." It's not enough to replace kernel image and it's files if the rom is built from source it is built for different chipset (still mediatek tho but different) so it probably won't work at all.

I didn't understand what you've asked for on that link. It's only a guide.
Chipset model doesn't matter. If the configurations are OK to work on our model, there will be no problem or very little which aren't major.
We need to achieve unlocked bootloader. It can be unlocked by oem unlock command but it isn't actually. We have to manage to fix this. Then everything will be fine that our devices are MTK and easy to port rom stuff.

Sorry for badly explained question. The link I posted talk about "verified boot" it's used to verify system, kernel and other images, so I thought maybe our phones use this too. But errors are different a little bit here take a look on this too

Both links regard to the same thing.
You're right, it's used on our devices that's why we can't flash anything over the stocks.
As usual, this warn should gone after bootloader unlock but as I told before, it doesn't act like unlocked, still thinks locked so the warn doesn't go away.

[TWRP][RECOVERY] Asus ZenPad 3S 10 Z500M
The next big step forward for Z500M development is here!
This is the first working custom TWRP recovery for the Asus ZenPad 3S 10 Z500M [P027], based from TWRP v3.2.1.
diplomatic and I had both been working on a port separately, and I offered to test his version. In a few hours we worked out a functional and install-friendly version.
Please NOTE that this is NOT an official TWRP. After this post, I'll be working on making the port official and update here.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This project, and my own motivation, would not have been possible without the incredible work and input of:
diplomatic, who has been instrumental in propelling Z500M development forward. He worked on the issue of perm root and discovered and revealed important intricacies of the Z500M restrictive bootloader. By the end of Dec 2017, he developed a method to unlock the Z500M bootloader based on his amazing work with the Z380M. With amartolos as his testing assistant, the Z500M bootloader unlocking tool was quickly developed and released Jan 5th 2018.
overkillZ, who in Sept 2017 introduced us all to rooting the Z500M
toineh, who did legwork of establishing temp root by manipulating system permissions & redirecting files through adb. Then he took the boot.img posted by LGiki, explained how to patch it through Magisk and posted the first patched boot image. He also served as a guiding voice on this front.
amartolos, who first attempted perm flashing the patched boot image of toineh's method and worked with diplomatic on the developments afterward, which led us to today. Also has served as a guiding voice.
LGiki, who was the first to post an extracted WW_27 boot image that got things rolling forward
DISCLAIMER
This image has only been successfully tested by me at this point.
Please exercise caution and care when attempting to flash anything to your device.
You are completely responsible for any possible issues or damages resultant from undertaking the following procedures.
That being said, this image and method should be safe.
REQUIREMENTS
ZenPad Z500M tablet, upgraded to Android N
Bootloader Unlocked, using Diplomatic's tool. Tablet should be showing Orange State during initial bootup.
Root with Magisk installed, Permanent Root preferable
BACK UP YOUR INTERNAL USER DATA, in case you need to factory reset
TWRP for Z500M recovery image file [twrp-3.2.1-0-z500m.img]
Knowledge of adb/fastboot and basic Linux shell
INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure REQUIREMENTS are all met
Ensure to RE-READ all instructions and understand them before starting
Reboot into fastboot mode
do fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-z500m.img, TWRP should boot up in a few seconds. The theme should be blue.
In TWRP, go to BACKUP and back up Boot, Recovery, Data, System and SystemImage. Full backup took me about 10GB of space.
Copy the created TWRP Backup to your PC or an external location for safekeeping
Copy the TWRP twrp-3.2.1-0-z500m.img to tablet storage if not done already.
In TWRP, go to INSTALL, select Install Image and choose the twrp-3.2.1-0-z500m.img. Installation should only take a few seconds.
Unplug from USB and Reboot back into Recovery through the REBOOT menu
If installation went well, TWRP should boot up in a YELLOW theme. From my testing, I'm confident it is functionally the same.
RESOURCES
In this shared folder are
TWRP for Z500M recovery image file [twrp-3.2.1-0-z500m.img]
version 0.5 of Diplomatic's Unlock Tool
diplomatic's Z500M device source
hxxps://mega.nz/#F!SQlyDapC!XbbW0fftZWFfVx2lmL_JUQ [down, get the file below]
GOING FORWARD
I successfully tested replacement of Magisk with SuperSU. My steps taken were:
"Completely Uninstall" Magisk through the Magisk Manager
reboot directly into Recovery
INSTALL a previously downloaded official SuperSU zip file & REBOOT
I very much enjoyed this process of developing for uncharted regions of Android technologies and I owe all of that to the existence of this forum and the people in it. Next, I am reading up on porting a custom ROM, LineageOS looked very nice. I'll update here with significant progress until I get capability to start new forum threads. Thank you all and enjoy delicious functional TWRP custom recovery on your Z500M for the first time in history. Here's to looking forward to development exploding on this device.

NEW DOWNLOAD
Updated February, 2018
Fixes the yellow color rendering in installed mode
twrp-3.2.1-0-z500m.zip
ADDITIONAL WARNING: At first boot of TWRP, it will ask you if you want to keep system read-only. Touch the Keep Read Only button at this screen and only mount system in read-only mode if you need (rarely needed). This is necessary because of dm-verity and is no different than most Android 6+ devices. Unless you have unlocked your bootloader and installed permanent root with dm-verity disabled, mounting the system partition in r/w mode will make changes to it and your tablet will instantly become unbootable.
This is great. Tempted to try this. thanks for the effort!
Thank you very much, I did this and also switched to SuperSU with no problems!
Hi guys,
I have followed all the steps until 8 but I'm stuck at the install : TWRP ask me what partition to flash
boot, recovery or system image
Which one to choose ? I think it's boot but I don't want to make any mistake

Hey guys I hope you can help me I had my Z500m partially rooted using the patched Magisk boot method and accidentally erased some stuff before I could permanently root it. Everything snowballed and all I have now is my firmware stored on pc I can get to fastboot mode but I have stock recovery still. can i flash my firmware through fastboot? I’ve been researching and it seems with Mediatek it’s different or at least not as simple. All searches keep coming up for Zenfone and I’m lost. Apologies if Im in wrong area.

There was a time that it was unthinkable development. I appreciate the time that cames after. Nice tutorial!
Nice work! I've got the Z500KL version of this tablet, so I'm hoping to port twrp to it at some point as well; if you have any tips or advice that might help it would be much appreciated! Although I'm fairly experienced with Linux this would be my first time working with Android, so I'm not sure if I'll succeed, but I thought I'd give it a shot anyway.
Hi, soleera,
To install TWRP, you must have some way to flash it and a bootloader that's either unlocked or doesn't care about unofficial images. I'm not sure that's possible in Z500KL. Look into that first. The Z500KL is about as much a version of this tablet as a Lenovo Tab4 is a version of this tablet. They are completely different platforms, just with a similar model name.
I've already managed to unlock the bootloader of my Z500KL and I've got fastboot working with it too, what I'm stuck on now is actually compiling twrp - I've already had a look at the guide here, but it's not very useful considering there are no .mk files for this model yet. If I had some idea about where to start I'd at least be able to start experimenting with the kernel / twrp source files and see where that leads me.

Oh, cool. How did you unlock it, btw? I know Asus makes you jump through hoops or doesn't allow unlocking altogether...
In case there is no device tree source (almost always), you start with an existing source tree for a phone with a similar platform. Then you adapt it for your device. Usually it's just a few changes, like the model numbers and importing your kernel. A quick search showed that the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 might fit the bill. Check out this thread for a TWRP build that someone has made for it...

Sounds good, I'll see what I can do when I get the time.
For some reason one of the official unlock tools for a different model worked on my tablet - I believe it was for the ZE552KL, although I could be wrong since I can't seem to install it any more ("the package conflicts with an existing package by the same name"). I'm definitely unlocked though since I can flash using fastboot without any errors...
Since we now have official unlock. Any chance at custom roms for this device? I would love to see it get some oreo love.

Hello soleera
Have you succeeded to port twrp to Z500KL?
Do you know of any custom recovery for Z500KL?
Do you know how to root it?

Since it seems to be possible to unlock the bootloader, you can always try the offline patching method of Magisk Manager. Just get your boot.img from the stock firmware and run it through MM to make a rooted patched boot img. Then using this patched image from your PC, do either 'fastboot flash boot' or 'fastboot boot' (for tethered boot) to obtain root. Done.

Basically, just do the procedure in this post. It's not that complicated. Reading through that thread may also help. Oh, and you have to unlock your bootloader first with an Asus unlock tool, as soleera has mentioned. I think the tool for the Z500M may work. It's essentially the same app for every device.
Hello Android community ....
I have a problem with my rooted OP6.
I always use my devices with root but since model OP6 I'm too stupid for that or have not found any suitable instructions?
I root and install the TWRP on the OP6
then I install the original FULLROM followed by the current and matching MAGISK to get root
and it boots perfectly including root and everything is great!
but the TWRP is always gone ...
that makes me totally crazy
What am I doing wrong or what can/must do differently so that the TWRP recovery stays on for the next time?
Does anyone have a tip for me?
Many Thanks

This is how you do it from twrp.
Flash rom (DON'T REBOOT)
Flash twrp (now reboot to recovery)
Flash magisk and boot = done.
Full roms will write over partitions.

Thanks - maybe this also helps to resolve one of my confusions: will this now also work with Standard (not BluSpark) TWRP and Android Pie - there's all kinds of mixed statements online. Best

thanks - but isn't that another source of complexity and error, as another party (bluSpark developer) is involved on top of TWRP team? And Magisk. Seems like many cooks throwing in ingredients to root, while the Android system itself keeps updating and changing....

Alright I finally rooted my Google pixel 6a using the pixel flasher and it is a really nice tool. My problem now is this phone isn't supported on the twrp app.and I don't remember seeing the option to flash twrp from the pixel flasher. Any advice on where and how I would go about getting a recovery installed? Thanks

Pixel devices do not have dedicated recovery partitions, as Samsung devices do. The recovery kernel is in the boot image.
There is no need to flash TWRP on a Pixel device. If you want to use it, you can live boot it, but for the most part it's unnecessary because we can flash partitions directly from bootloader.

I think he means this, live booting into any TWRP img doesnt work, he is asking for where to find a custom recovery to live boot or whatever, right? @Kerrylee1738$$$
Yes that's right... I figured Google pixel 6a had twrp but after looking it didn't. Any advice on a alternative to TWRP would be greatly appreciated

Depending on what youre wanting it for, there isnt an alternative.
Using TWRP to flash a ROM on a phone is the only way I know how. Would ROM manager work on flashing this nitrogen ROM I downloaded?

You have to flash it with fastboot mode and stock or lineage recovery.
ROM's are flashed either via fastboot or as an OTA in recovery.
I decided just to wait for a twrp recovery to become available and started working on my xt2131-1 and OnePlus Nord device again.

TWRP will likely never be available for this device.
That's kinda disappointing
