As it been said many times already you will have to wait for vendor to be updated.

That will not have chance to boot until we get a pie vendor at this time we have a Oreo vendor that can boot a flew pie gsi.

TWRP with Internal storage decryption on Mate 9

I tried the Honor TWRP view 10 in Mate 9 and it works. Here is the link from the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-10/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3769917
Tested, decryption works, haven't tested anything else though
Did you try on Nougat or Oreo?

It's because RR is android 8.1. This recovery only works on 8.0.
will this allow OTA update to work with TWRP?

Haha. That's from my mega
It's just zxzO0Os version (0.3) for Honor 9, but I changed something as it wouldn't boot, but can't remember what...
Anyhow, I can't use the ones for Mate 10 either.

Question A/B Android 13 gsi on Poco X3 Pro

Hello guys. I wanted to test the GSI of Android 13 for Poco X3 pro. Ok so, i have two questions. I have broken my pc so i can't use it. Since the file is a "system.img", would there be any way to flash it via TWRP for example ? Also, the GSI is an A/B rom. I checked the app named "Treble checker", my phone is compatible. But, it says it only has an A slot. Would i still be able to flash it ? Thanks in advance.
Why, for the love of all that is wonderful in the world, would you want to try that?! It's your money and your phone, dude. Do as you wish. But I advise against it.
shouldn't the DSU be able to boot a GSI without actually flashing it?
So i can't flash a gsi with twrp. What about the A/B roms
What do you mean by the way

You can't flash a gsi with twrp, since we can't access the system partition, this device having a super partition

[RECOVERY] TWRP for Samsung Galaxy A31 [SM-A315G/F/N] [UNOFFICIAL] [BINARY 1 & 2]

Team Win Recovery Project or TWRP for short. Its a fully touch driven user interface, completely theme-able & you can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
Now ported to the SM-A315F | SM-A315F/DS | SM-A315G/DS | SM-A315G | SM-A315N. (DS means Dual Sim, thing that doesn't matter a lot for TWRP)​
I am not responsible for any bricked imei, when flashing TWRP backup the EFS & NVRAM partitions to be safe, do not root until having an actually good working backup, if you signal goes restore your backup, if you didn't have a previous backup I got a fix for you , flash your firmware as always but on the CP slot in Odin Flash Tool get the CP slot from a CUD4 firmware corresponding your CSC code.

Actual TWRP status: Bugfixing; Try at your own risk and only if you know what you're doing.
Thanks for doing something for A31 (the forgotten phone). I'll be test as soon as possible. It's a pity there is no rom for flashing through TWRP though.
thanks

Your issue is not flashing a disabled vbmeta + not using the latest Android Version.
For Android 11 you'll have to build twrp from my android-11 branch.

There's no rom for A31, just for A30 and A32 just don't ask me why... A31 seems like a forgotten phone

Never heard of custom roms for A32.
A31 is not forgotten, stop saying that ****.
It just got no developers and ppl who just ask for things 3 developers can't do.

There is for A32 -- not much as it should, but it at least has. A31 has no, basically no rom other than the stock. It's a real pity.
I won't stop saying that until one pops up out of nowhere then I shut my mouth while it didn't happen I couldn't... deal with it the same way we do
Send me the xda thread of that roms.
I doubt A32 got more to offer than A31
And roms don't pop out of nowhere, we're trying to develop and that requires time, money and people.
Is it able to decrypt encrypted folder? i got random string (encrypted) after installing twrp.

Question [SOLVED] How to install LineageOS 19 by GSI?

Maybe you need to flash vbmeta.img before first boot. Or try another GSI (verify using Treble Info app to know which variant you need)
What was the stock? Android 12 or 13?

I've checked, and I can say that the bootloop occurs after flashing TWRP_3.6.2 and disabling_vbmeta_R.

You need to flash the patched kernel;
1. Run multidisabler in TWRP terminal
2. Factory reset via TWRP
3. Reboot to recovery
4. ADB Push the kernel or use the sd card and flash it.
5. Boom, you can boot now.
