How to create a TWRP flashable ROM from stock

Does anyone know how to create a flashable TWRP rom (.ZIP) from the stock Nougat ROM?
I have already installed TWRP and I really would like to have a ROM ready to be flashed in case of problems...
The other system is really slow and not intuitive in my opinion.
Thanks.

Anyone?

It's a good question. What "other system" are you referring to?
I'd love for the OpenKirin or TWRP guys to chime in. I've TRIED cross-compiling both the factory Berlin source and the OpenKirin Berlin source with gcc 4.9, and I keep running into errors. I'm trying to work through it myself as to not bother them, but if they have any recommendations and tips on how they are compiling from source, I'd love to hear more.
Here are some links that should help:
OpenKirin source
github.com/OpenKirin/android_device_honor_berlin
Huawei Berlin Source (You'll want to change the country code for the country that you are in. This one is for the US.)

Hi.
Referring to firmware finder method... and I see that I cannot do the same procedure now that I am already on Nougat. My OS for sure has some corrupted files, but if I do again the firmware finder process (with MF file not the MF-PV), the operation stops.
That's why I need a TWRP ROM ready to flash...
Frankly speaking the samsung forums are much more "crowded" than here and solutions come out very quickly.
I was used to flash ROMs every week just to test or play with... Here is kinda desert....

Go to this link
http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=
find the firmware version which worked on your device previously Download the zip package which has full as status .
Boot into twrp and make a clean flash of the zip.
Stock ROM Zip default has updater script so it can be flashed through TWRP.

You don't need to create. Full firmware packages are TWRP flashable, at least for Honor 8 which I personally tried and tested.
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs

Well, I will try again as you said.
But I read that MF-PV files are used to change from a previous OS version to the new one. (For example in this case from marshmallow to nougat).
Files with MF only should be used to update within the same OS number.
If I use that zip file, it doesn't work with TWRP on my phone.
I'm not trying the MF-PV because in theory it deletes data and everything....
Anyway, we'll see.
Thx.

Can we update CM Firmware without reinstalling OS

Hello,

If you want to switch to a completely different ROM, you will have to do the wipes in recovery then flash the new ROM. If you want to flash an update of the same ROM you have then you don't need the wipes, you can just flash the update without wiping, this is called "dirty flashing". Dirty flash usually only works when flashing an update of the same ROM that you have.

Hello ,
I am talking about the cm14.1 latest firmware and not about the custom room updates. Is it possible to install without any issues
Thanks in advance

What do you mean the latest CM14.1 update?
NitrogenOS and CM 14.1 ARE BOTH custom ROMs, they are NOT firmwares. Some devices were manufactured and sold with CyanogenMod as the stock firmware but CM is still predominately a custom android operating system.
And, as I said, if the update is an update to the exact same ROM as what is already installed, then all you have to do is flash it without doing any kind of wipes(this can even be done when updating stock via OTA, it's actually recommended to not do the wipes when updating stock via OTA). For example, if you have CM13 and want to update to CM14, or if you have CM14 and want to update to CM14.1 or if you have CM14.1 but want to flash a newer CM14.1 update, understand yet?
BUT!!!!
If you have some other ROM(something other than a version CM) currently installed but want to update to CM instead of what you have then you would have to factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing.
Let's make this simple since you can't seem to make sense of what I'm telling you. Tell me what you currently have installed and what you want to update to.

You have nitrogen OS installed on your android and if you want to install update of nitrogen OS then no need of wiping.
If you want to change to different rom ( nitrogenOS to CM) then you need to first wiping/factory resetting or clearing dalvik and cache.
So, you are changing your rom then wipe/factory reset first and then flash CM. That what @Droidriven trying to say you.

Again you are confused. ROMs like Nitrogen runs on CM firmware ( or you can call it architecture). It's not the OS again, It regarding firmware. please someone help me on this I dont want my phone to get bootlooped or any other sort of issue. FYI : I don't want CM ROM/OS. I want Nitrogen itself but want to upgrade to the latest firmware. Please check the link i had provide before replying

This is making sense now. You see, you are the one confused. You aren't asking the right question because you don't understand the difference.
You aren't looking for the "CM firmware", this does not even exist. This implies that the firmware was created by CM. It wasn't made by CM, it does not contain CM in it so it can't be called "CM FIRMWARE", it's a STOCK FIRMWARE that is COMPATIBLE with USING CM and other custom ROMs.
What you are looking for is the "stock firmware" that needs to be on your device BEFORE using CM13/14/14.1/AOSP Nougat ROMs.
The thread that you linked basically explains that if you want to use any kind of custom 7.0/7.1/7.1.1 Nougat ROMS then you need to flash this updated STOCK FIRMWARE in order for the device to be able to use those custom ROMs. It is not "CM FIRMWARE"
You're looking for the STOCK FIRMWARE that is compatible with CM and other nougat ROMs.
The thread that you linked explains what you need to know and how to do it, it says that you flash the updated firmware via TWRP and factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik when you flash it.
If you are looking for a newer update than the one in that thread then you'll have to find it in a TWRP flashable .zip. If there is not a TWRP flashable zip to apply the new update then the only way to flash the new update is to flash it via PC then root the device again, install TWRP again and then flash your NitrogenOS ROM again.

I just explained what you needed to do, did you read it? It is simple, are you even reading the thread that you linked? What you are asking is irrelevant, just do what it says to do in the steps below.
1) Boot to TWRP
2) Flash the updated firmware via TWRP
3) Factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik
4) Flash NitrogenOS
5)reboot, enjoy.

Make sure you're on the last firmware and TWRP versions
Obtain GApps from www.opengapps.org (Android 8.1 arm64+)
Good luck and I salute our dead device

This is for hiaeuhl, right?

15.1 should be universal, u can use it on both versions

Is rom stable?

depends on what u mean by "stable" yeah it works and runs fine, but the main issue with Los 16 is u don't have any audio while call

Do I need to be on nougat firmware before I can flash this rom?
Sent from my 2PQ93 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

you should have the latest stock firmware + bootloader etc. installed before u flash it ( i think )

True. Flash the latest stock firmware and boot all the way to setup. This way all partitions will be correctly mounted. Then flash TWRP followed by the ROM and GApps

Installation Package Error
I have an hiaeul phone, and i found an error in the update-script file. It attempts to mount a directory that does not exist. To correct, open the file and replace all occurrences of "/dev/block/platform/soc.0/7824900.sdhci/by-name/system" with "/dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/system".
NOTE: I am not sure if this holds true for other variations of HTC One A9, only edit if you get an error.

I found the problem
After installing Google framework service , have problems

I would like to download because I flashed twrp and wiped data but did not backup and am on version 2

I don't know if it works but I found a download link for Lineage 15.1 "lineage-15.1-20190724-UNOFFICIAL-hiae.zip" https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117923121

Question ROM on Samsung A12 (SM-A127M).

Hello, I have the SM-A127M.
I have been able to do the following:
1.Unlock the Bootloader.
2. Root with Magisk.
But I want to follow this Guide "Installing TWRP and LInageOS" and I have the following questions:
1. Is it possible to install LineageOS on SM-A127M?
2. Is there a version of TWRP for Android 11 on the SM-A127M? Download a version to install with Odin as AP from here: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/a12/
But the only thing it did was go into an infinite loop in Download mode. Lucky that I was able to unbrick it by flashing the full firmware.
3. Is the reason for switching to LineageOS to improve the phone's performance, do those who already have it really feel an improvement in performance or is it the same as using it with Stock Android from Samsung?
Thank you for your answers.

Don't bother bro, nobody responds to the A127M variant, I got the same phone and a few post before yours i wonder to a custom rom and no one reply.

I think so. Have you tried this model using the installation guides on the forum to install TWRP and/or LineageOS? Have they worked for you? Have they failed you? It does not matter if it is for this specific model.
Thanks in advance.

no my mate, I don't do that for fear to brick the device 'cause it's my main phone and the backup phone have a issue with the battery. Thanks for the suggest.

I have the same phone, but i searched for a12s(sm-a127f) because the specs are the same

The physwizz dev have all on his channel. Twrp kernel etc... I've tried the twrp for this phone and it works well.

Twrp is fine but LineageOS no dont you cant call or text at all sometimes the sim isnt recognised even mention it in the sub reddit and everyone screams at you to download the official even though it happens on official builds

Try installing this custom and unofficial twrp for A12 Nacho.
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=330751
[ODIN] If you couldn't install it on AP, try to install it on BL.
(No need to disable vbmeta I guess cuz I installed it on my a127m and my phone just booted normal)

Development OP9-LEMONADE-A13-ROM-WATCHDOGS-JUNE 25, 2023

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU MESS UP YOUR PHONE!!!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!
Watch dogs is a ROM I created and it started with the OnePlus 9 Pro back in December. I have decided to bring it to the OnePlus 9, it's based on LineageOS & crDroid source & dependencies and I thank them for its use. SafetyNet and CTS passes whether your rooted or not. Modules not required. Most features are the same as crDroid but I have made some adjustments to bluetooth quality and some fonts that are not available there, plus Gapps are included.
Before you begin, if you don't have the latest platform tools installed on your windows machine. Download it here:
DO NOT FLASH GAPPS!!!! THEY ARE INCLUDED IN BUILD!!!!!
Flashing Instructions
First time installation (clean flash):
This update requires OOS 13.1 - 13.1.0.500(EX01) firmware
Backup your data
Download the ROM, and firmware flasher listed further down on this post and place all in your platform tools folder,
Extract all the contents in platform tools, Firmware flasher in folder.
You must flash firmware in bootloader.
Boot to recovery and factory reset then adb sideload
adb sideload WatchDogs-13.0-20230625-lemonade.zip
Reboot to system
reboot to recovery if you want root
adb sideload magisk.apk or adb sideload magisk.zip
Reboot to system
Update installation:
Updates can be sideloaded with custom recovery. Updates do not appear in system updater.
Sources:
ROM
Kernel
Downloads:
ROM
FIRMWARE FLASHER
Bugs?
Let me know.

Initial builds
WatchDogs-WITHGAPPS-13.0-20230312-lemonade.zip
WatchDogs-NOGAPPS-13.0-20230312-lemonade.zip
If you require Google apps, flash the first one only!
If you do not want Google apps, flash the second one only!
You can't cross dirty flash a update which should be common sense. Example, you can't dirty flash the with gapps build then next update, dirty flash the no gapps one.

I tried CRdroid recovery and the one I was on and both said name mismatch. Got any suggestions for me to try? Thank you for the new development too!

That's weird. Did you try sideloading the firmware flasher first before the ROM? If you still have difficulties, I will post the dtbo, boot and vendor_boot files for you to flash to make it compatible. I don't have this phone. I have the OnePlus9 Pro so I can't test it. I'm sure it works or there would be other users saying the same thing.

I flashed the firmware successfully and tried it again but still got the same error. It wouldn't hurt to post the kit files and recovery for others too. If you do then I'll try again before I have to head into work in a couple hours.
UPDATE:
I used the CrDroid boot-20230106 file and then sideloaded fw_Oneplus9_IN_OOS13_F20 on both slots and was able to flash the rom on both slots successfully. Will let you know what I find in time and thanks again for another version rom to pplay with

Good deal, and no problem. Since I use crDroid sources, I figured that should work. I will still post the files necessary to flash recovery when I get a chance. Let me know if there are any bugs or issues with the ROM itself so I can work on it. Thank you!

I installed it on my first try without any problems. but I couldn't understand how it differs from crdroid.

Not to mention Gapps included if you choose it so OTAs with no issues... otherwise you'd have to sideload Gapps again after at least for me that's what was happening.

correct, sorry, forgot to mention that as well. Thank you!! crDroid doesn't offer a with gapps build. You can use the no gapps build to flash your own gapps but I won't support force close issues with the ROM. Example, pixel setup wizard can't be used because it interfers with the default launcher. And yes, on updates, just sideload the with gapps build and your done, unless you want root, then you will have to reboot and sideload magisk because root will be gone on a update.

Convert your T-Mobile to EU as listed on another thread, then you can use the EU firmware. I will be posting a update soon with the boot, vendor_boot and dtbo. If you don't want to do that, I will post them later to flash recovery on your phone. Keep in mind that different variants act different, so you may have bugs on T-Mobile, it wasn't tested.

You can use my custom recovery, files added in OP. You still need latest stock A13.
fastboot flash --slot all boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img

You cant install this (or any rom but base 11) on tmobile 2117 without BL unlock key. Pretty sure its not possible.
You can only convert to base global 11\OOS11 on 2117 for root, then in ui updater doesnt work OTA or manually. You can get to 13 stock only, because you need to be stock to ota, where you need a key to unlock bootloader again (conversion would bring you back to 11).
*The rooting situation with this phone sucks. I think Jaguar is the only one that will work because it is base 11.
