Don't ask these questions. Seriously:
Features: none. It's a recovery. It should be as simple as possible because you rely on this stuff to recover your device in case something goes wrong
Seriously. Were you expecting features from a custom recovery?
Screenshots: it looks like TWRP
Important. There is a blank option and a system_root option in the mounts section. These are only for compatibility with scripts. Do not try to tick them yourself
Some scripts may throw a "failed to umount /system_root" message. This is fine
Important: why do some ROMs refuse to flash?
Some ROMs like oxygenos and glassrom use a feature called "downgrade attack prevention". If TWRP's build date is higher than the build date of the ROM the installation script assumes a downgrade attack is happening and the flashing fails
System nandroid restore fails:
You are not supposed to be restoring file-based backups of the system partition on a device with dm-verity in the first place. Backup and restore system image backups.
Glassrom users: if this is your first time flashing glassrom remember that the current enhanced twrp will always have a build date higher than the current glassrom build. In other words you can only flash a newer glassrom build as long as your enhanced twrp build is older or in other words:
Switching to glassrom: use official twrp, flash glassrom and then flash enhanced TWRP to enforce downgrade attack prevention
Updating glassrom: no need to switch to official. Always update glassrom before you update enhanced twrp
This was intentionally done to prevent downgrade attacks on glassrom. Using enhanced twrp with glassrom is recommended
This TWRP addresses a number of issues that have been plaguing the op3:
Uses a backported F2FS driver (5.1-rc1-3.18) that fixes an issue where TWRP would get stuck on the TWRP splash screen for a long time if the user was using F2FS
Uses an upstream kernel that was taken from lineage's common kernel https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_qcom_msm8996
Added all crypto footer code back to resolve all encryption issues
Improved detection of device variant. Recovery now validly detects op3 and op3t
A full selinux policy so that files do not get labelled incorrectly. This resolves a bunch of issues like "device doesn't boot after restoring nandroid"
Built against full lineage source. No minimal manifest or any other nonsense
Upstreamed sdfat driver for better suppport for USB-OTG drives
No prebuilt kernels. Uses a fully source built kernel
Kernel built with a compatible GCC 8. No weird compiler optimisation
Ext4 is the default filesystem instead of f2fs
Current issues: even if the source code is out building TWRP against lineage is not something a beginner can do. If somebody is willing to contribute build documentation they are more than welcome

Busybox was removed. I've updated my flashable zips to use run_program("/sbin/mount", "/system"); instead.
Replacing 'busybox' with 'toybox' should work too.

Busybox is pretty terrible and most of it's executables aren't even compliant to standards
Please update your scripts to use toybox or ship the actual statically linked binaries

You should specify the "-o rw,remount" flag otherwise if mount system partition read-only is ticked there's a high chance system is mounted read-only and the script won't actually touch the system partition. This can be achieved by using a shell script instead of run_program()
Your command can also fail with "cannot find /system in the fstab". Instead of calling mount that way you should use this edify command and then call mount with run_program() to make sure it doesn't fail
Code:
mount(fs_type, partition_type, name, mount_point)
Please see https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/nonab/inside_packages
Toybox uses a slightly different mount command so merely replacing all instances of busybox with toybox will not work

IMHO bb is much more sophisticated then tb. If compiled with long options enabled bb is more posix compliant then any other multicall binary I know of.
The original decission to replace bb by tb by google was made because of license politics (bb: gnu copy left; tb: apache) - technically bb is superior to tb, for the amount of implememted commands as well as the posix compliance of the implemented commands (if configured correctly). I.e. parts of dns and resolver libs in tb are broken from the beginning of tb used in android (though this doesn't matter in recovery only use). fgrep/egrep are another broken/non-posix-compliant topic, which is solved by adding standalone binaries.
The claim you've made is at least questionable, and since you are publishing your sources (aka complying to gpl), the main reason for not using bb is not true for your twrp builds.
You may consider to put in bb additionally. For los integration, I've made a bb setup not overriding any tb links and installing bb as well as it's links to /system/xbin. With nearly no effort the installation target could be changed to i.e. /xbin or /bb/bin. If the installation dir is added in the path after the path to tb, you'll ship a recovery not only compatible with latest pie sources, but also with backward compatibility for flashable zips relying on bb.

Thanks. I guess I was wrong about busybox
I'm still not considering shipping busybox. Whenever I've tried it something broke so I'll just be sticking with toybox on that part
What I might be able to do is make a zip that copies busybox to /sbin/busybox and since it's just copying in ram there shouldn't be much of a problem. Users can flash this zip as a way to have backward compatibility with older zips. That sounds like a much better option honestly as then the fix is not just tied to my recovery but can be used on every recovery that doesn't have busybox on the op3
Edit: I also do not think shipping your busybox is a very good idea. You're compiling busybox with this
-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration -Wno-implicit-function-declaration

I don't even know why this is a compiler warning. This should be an error but if you're shipping busybox with that warning disabled instead of fixing it that's just asking for trouble

...and on every second page of this thread, you'll be asked, if flashing bb is necessary on each update. Then you'll need to answer every time: "no, you need to flash it prior to each flashing of a bb needing zip."
If you just say bb is droped upstream and you want to keep your twrp clean.
Anyway: I've fixed the static build target.

I haven't really checked the code but I'm not that sure about this part
Shouldn't it be like
Code:
#ifndef _GNU_SOURCE
#define _GNU_SOURCE
Idk just sounds more correct that we don't want a redefinition here

Is there any need for a manual mount of 'fakecache' like in Enhanced TWRP of OP2 ?
I hope not...
Thanks for the development !

The entire fakecache experiment was me trying to port treble to the op2
That obviously failed and I'm in the process of removing that hack even from the op2
It's not there on this TWRP. That's for sure

F2FS 5.2-rc1-3.18 is out
The update will first arrive on glassrom and then on enhanced TWRP

Glassrom is out but I've sadly not received any feedback from the twrp testers yet
The new release might be delayed and I'm also busy working on op2
It will definitely come in 1-2 days

Glad you made this twrp @anupritaisno1.
Working great here and happy to see all issues I had with other versions (some warnings on terminal, time issues etc...) are gone!
Keep up the good work

@anupritaisno1
Any chance your TWRP is not compatible with PIE ? ( i.e either that PIE is not supported or PIE is NOT the highest SDK supported )
I ask since many users across OP3 & 3T forum complained about "BSoDwWL" (Black Screen of Death with White Led ) issue that appear randomly ( not during recovery, but in android ) and freeze the device for ~15sec which ends in systemUI reboot.
I'm not sure, but around the week I updated myy recovery to your TWRP, I started to suffer for that issue - which is partially in accordance with this report - i.e that SOME TWRP is responsible
please don't get me wrong... as it might be TWRP original code fault - not something directly related to your own wonderful work here.
I wonder if you encountered this issue as well ?
Does TWRP 3.3.x is already Q compatible ? what's the LAST twrp version that its higher SDK support is PIE (3.2.x / 3.1.x ) ?

Hi I checked this myself
There seems to be absolutely no difference between drivers from 5.0.8 and 9.0.2
It feels as if oneplus simply took the drivers from 5.0.8 and smashed them onto 9.0.2 so I have no idea what crashes you're observing. Please submit logs

[RECOVERY][OFFICIAL] TWRP 3.0.0-0| 10/2/2016

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
CHANGELOG for 3.0.0-0:
-Completely new theme - Much more modern and much nicer looking (by z31s1g)
-True Terminal Emulator - Includes arrow keys, tab and tab completion, etc. (by _that)
-Language translation - It won’t be perfect and especially some languages that require large font files like Chinese & Japanese won’t be availble on most devices. Also some languages may only be partially translated at this time. Feel free to submit more translations to OmniROM’s Gerrit. (mostly by Dees_Troy)
-Flashing of sparse images - On select devices you will be able to flash some parts of factory images via the TWRP GUI (by HashBang173)
-Adopted storage support for select devices - TWRP can now decrypt adopted storage partitions from Marshmallow
-Reworked graphics to bring us more up to date with AOSP - includes support for adf and drm graphics (by Dees_Troy)
-SuperSU prompt will no longer display if a Marshmallow ROM is installed
-Update exfat, exfat fuse, dosfstools (by mdmower)
-Update AOSP base to 6.0
-A huge laundry list of other minor fixes and tweaks
WARNING: This is our first release in a long time. We have a lot of new and somewhat aggressive changes in this new release. The changes to the graphics back-end may cause some devices to not boot up properly or have other display-related issues. If you are not in a position to reflash an older build of TWRP, then wait until you are or at least wait until others have tried the new version for your specific device. You don’t want to end up with a non-working recovery and have to wait several hours or days to get to a computer to be able to fix it.
Notes for themers: In addition to the udpated theme, we have introduced a theme version variable to the TWRP theme system. If the theme version does not match the version that TWRP expects, TWRP will reject the custom theme and load its stock theme. This change will ensure that people who update TWRP without updating their theme will still have a workable recovery. We have removed libjpeg support. The stock theme was only using a jpeg image for the splash / curtain. This change means that any custom themes will no longer be able to use jpeg images. It also means that tools used to repack recovery images with a different curtain / splash will need to be updated to use the new method.
Version number notes: For a while we’ve been using a 4 digit version number and reserved the 4th digit for device-specific updates. For instance, we find and fix a device-specific issue like decryption of data on Nexus 5, we would release that as a 2.8.7.1. After a while, some people would start asking where 2.8.7.1 was for other devices. So, going forward we have decided to change the numbering scheme to 3.0.0-2, etc. Our hope is that this version numbering scheme will more clearly identify that the 4th digit does not indicate a version change for the code base.
We need your help! The bulk of TWRP work is done by 3 people on a volunteer basis. We have pushed most of our device files to our github and we have a gerrit instance. If you have the ability, please help us maintain our official devices and/or add your device to our official device list. Thanks in advance!
CHANGELOG for 2.8.7.0:
-Initial ground work for software drawn keyboard (_that)
-Fix handling of wiping internal storage on datamedia devices (xuefer)
-Allow DataManager to set and read values from the system properties (xuefer)
-Fix crash when taking screenshots on arm64 devices (xuefer)
-Fix error message after an ORS script completes (Dees_Troy)
-Fix crashes / error when creating encrypted backups (_that, Dees_Troy)
-Add system read only option – more details below (Dees_Troy)
-Add resize2fs and GUI option to run resize2fs (Dees_Troy)
-Fix crash loop caused by empty lines in AOSP recovery command file (_that)
-Prevent duplicate page overlays such as multiple lock screens (mdmower)
Note: As always, be sure your custom theme is up to date (or remove your custom theme) before updating TWRP.
System read only option: Devices that ship with 5.0 and higher as their initial OS are using block level OTA updates. With this style of OTA update, the update script checks to see if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. Further, the script also usually runs an SHA sum of the entire system partition to detect if any changes have been made. If any changes have been made, the OTA update will refuse to install. Since not all OEMs and devices have factory images available, we have created a new feature in TWRP that detects if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. If not, you will be prompted asking if you want TWRP to mount system as read/write. If you choose not to allow TWRP to mount as read/write, TWRP won’t prompt to install SuperSU and TWRP won’t try to patch the stock ROM to prevent TWRP from being replaced by stock recovery. The goal of this option is to hopefully allow the user to make a raw system image backup that they can use to get back to a state where they can take OTA updates again.
resize2fs feature: On some devices like the Nexus 6, the factory images include a userdata image that is the proper size only for the 32GB units. If you flash the factory image to a 64GB Nexus 6, the data partition will appear as if it only has the free space of a 32GB device. Using the resize2fs option, TWRP can resize your data partition to take up the full space available. The resize2fs may also be useful to resize system partitions on devices where custom ROM system images don’t take up the full partition space. Lastly, resize2fs may be useful in some cases to reserve the proper space at the end of a data partition for a full disk encryption key, should your partition be formatted incorrectly for some reason.
This new version also marks our first set of full builds using our new jenkins build server. You can track the progress of builds at https://jenkins.twrp.me and we have taken additional steps to make it easier for device maintainers to step up and submit patches to our gerrit server at https://gerrit.twrp.me to help us keep devices up to date and working.
DOWNLOAD:
You can find more information and download links on our NEW website! NOTE that the 2.8.6.0 version is ONLY available on our new site and is not available on our other, older mirrors!
BUGS:
If you have found a bug, please consider posting it to our github issues log. It's pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 40 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, your best bet is to PM Dees_Troy directly, contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below. If you see someone that's struggling, feel free to point it out to us. We need your help to help us keep track of all of our devices! Thanks!

Due to the way Sony devices function, you will need to have an unlocked bootloader.
Your options, as far as ROMs go, are the following:
Any ROM with this commit
OR just use the new bootloader (with a proper recovery partition)
All credit goes to the TWRP team. I just annoyed the fools until they built the recovery.
Awesome! Very glad to see this.
After flashing through fastboot, its impossible for me to boot into recovery, my phone stays stuck on the Sony screen with the pink/orange led.

You need a custom boot image to boot into it (since our bootloaders don't really support a separate recovery partition, and we rely on a boot.img script to boot into one), which means you'd have to unlock the bootloader.

On this note, if anyone can provide me with stock boot images, I'll try and keep them up-to-date with the extract_elf_ramdisk utility, so that users on stock may still boot into TWRP if they don't opt for the AndroPlus kernel.
Hello everyone,
Flashed this with "fastboot flash recovery", still getting the cm12.1 recovery.
BL unlocked, USB debugging enabled, CM 12.1 installed.
Anyone have a solution?
Thanks
Edit:
tried the twrp manager, no Z3C here, aswell the dd method, nothing changed.

Same here, there is no Z3C in the list on TWRP Manager, and the 'dd' method leaves an unusable recovery (stuck on orange led). I'm happy with official TWRP support, but do you guys even test your stuff before releasing it.....? The steps with TWRP manager app don't even exist (there is no 'advanced' to tap).
Flashed twrp.img as boot: fastboot flash boot twrp.img. -> TWRP starts every time i power on the phone. Flashed CM12.1 from this state, and TWRP got overwrited again with CM12.1 recovery. /sigh
Is the CM kernel counts as "Any custom kernel" ?

Thanks both of you for reporting your issues. Your reports sparked an investigation, and we were able to identify several issues that have thus far been overlooked (for whatever reason).
The "stuff" was tested before it was released, yes, but we're now facing limitations in the form of unmerged patches to the CM device trees. The issues should have been resolved several years ago, but instead they are now wreaking havoc on Sony msm8974 recovery setups. I've gotten some of the elite TWRP and CM people on this, as well as smaller fellow rhine and shinano developers (though Myself5 and oshomun could hardly be classified as small nowadays).
I personally have already uploaded four changes to the CM gerrit (that should have been applied years ago); One of them got denied (though is now being discussed for the near future (possibly as soon as cm-13.0); the result of that discussion is, among others, that the Cyanogen Recovery is now available for download alongside the ROM zip over at https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=z3c ), two are still pending any input whatsoever, and the last one was promised a merge, but the device maintainers have gone quiet, at least on the outside.
(If you wish, you can view the patches and their progress at their links: patch1, patch2, patch3, patch4, patch5.)
However, both teams are also having issues with other matters (such as Z3 not building, or adding new features to TWRP), and there is also the fact that school starts around this time of year (which impacts both the younger developers as well as those who already have children).
To conclude, there really isn't a unified guide I can give you to get to TWRP. It works, and you can use it if you have the correct setup. However achieving that setup is not a simple walkthrough away, and it would differ ever so slightly for every person's preferences, not to mention it would be overwritten with each new ROM update.
Such is the state of affairs at this point in time. This may or may not change, but be assured that everything we can do about this, we will do.
EDIT: A quick note that some ROMs may already include fixes for these issues. I don't know which those ROMs could be, so I won't go into listing them, but the possibility exists.
someone755,
thanks for your quick reply and your investigation.
Hope for the best, but time will tell.
Thanks again
Someone, here is a build that actually works, maybe you guys can base on that?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-6-0-fota-recovery-t3093537

The thing is that if you flash a cm-12.1 boot image (completely stock, without kernel or ramdisk modifications that M5 or Kernel12 perform), it won't work. It works with some setups, but not with others, and is, for some reason, very specific -- to get rid of these errors, CyanogenMod would have to (at the very least) accept my changes.
If you feel like you have to try this for yourself, here's a link to the boot image: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347797955 Getting out of the mess created once you flash this can be a pickle though, so unless you have a boot image on hand with which you know TWRP works, do not flash the file I linked.
I've had somebody say it started working for him after flashing r_02 of Kernel12, though sadly I'm not very sure that's a permanent solution (it is, however, a working temporary one).
Unfortunately the man who was supposed to review the changes is on leave from development, so waiting is the only option available right now (unless we come up with a zip file to flash after each nightly install, but that would only increase the chaos of this already-confusing situation).

The goal of FOTA recoveries was to let the user boot into a recovery regardless of what recovery is in the boot image. If you flash a CM nightly over your setup, you won't be able to get to TWRP again unless you perform various modifications to the CM boot image.
Packing recovery inside boot is what's causing all these issues in the first place, so doing what you suggest would be a step forward, but two steps back as well.

That's all fine and dandy until you realize most people are sticking with CM (for some unexplainable reason). Other ROM gerrits are much more likely to have already merged the needed changes (and are much more lenient and open when it comes to accepting new changes in general, and all this is the only reason this waiting game is now on).

Yeah but I don't wait on slim or use its device trees etc I build for my own and use commits I want, I don't really care what people use or do. I build ROMs for myself and a friend. I just happened to share a ROM that I don't care if people use or not. If I'm happy with what I build and use then that's all I care about

You do realize TWRP is meant to work for everyone, not just for 'me and my bros'?
On topic:
Someone, that FOTA TWRP I linked does (or at the very least did, I've been on M5 Kernel for a few weeks now) work with a stock Cyanogenmod boot image. Before M5 kernel I could already reach TWRP. I really think it worth a closer look to see what that guy did because it works/worked for some reason..
My full sequence (the first time anyway):
Unlock Bootloader
Unpack boot.img from Cyanogenmod nightly zip
Flash boot.img in fastboot
Boot to Cyanogenrecovery
Wipe
Flash Cyanogenmod in recovery
Boot Cyanogenmod, Setup Wizard yadda yadda
Shut down and go to fastboot
Flash FOTA TWRP from said link
Test FOTA TWRP, Be happy
----Few days later----
Flash M5 through FOTA TWRP

[31.12.2015][TWRP 3.0.0-2][OFFICIAL][TEAM REDUX]TWRP For HTC Explorer

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
CHANGELOG for 3.0.0-0:
-Completely new theme - Much more modern and much nicer looking (by z31s1g)
-True Terminal Emulator - Includes arrow keys, tab and tab completion, etc. (by _that)
-Language translation - It won’t be perfect and especially some languages that require large font files like Chinese & Japanese won’t be availble on most devices. Also some languages may only be partially translated at this time. Feel free to submit more translations to OmniROM’s Gerrit. (mostly by Dees_Troy)
-Flashing of sparse images - On select devices you will be able to flash some parts of factory images via the TWRP GUI (by HashBang173)
-Adopted storage support for select devices - TWRP can now decrypt adopted storage partitions from Marshmallow
-Reworked graphics to bring us more up to date with AOSP - includes support for adf and drm graphics (by Dees_Troy)
-SuperSU prompt will no longer display if a Marshmallow ROM is installed
-Update exfat, exfat fuse, dosfstools (by mdmower)
-Update AOSP base to 6.0
-A huge laundry list of other minor fixes and tweaks
WARNING: This is our first release in a long time. We have a lot of new and somewhat aggressive changes in this new release. The changes to the graphics back-end may cause some devices to not boot up properly or have other display-related issues. If you are not in a position to reflash an older build of TWRP, then wait until you are or at least wait until others have tried the new version for your specific device. You don’t want to end up with a non-working recovery and have to wait several hours or days to get to a computer to be able to fix it.
Notes for themers: In addition to the udpated theme, we have introduced a theme version variable to the TWRP theme system. If the theme version does not match the version that TWRP expects, TWRP will reject the custom theme and load its stock theme. This change will ensure that people who update TWRP without updating their theme will still have a workable recovery. We have removed libjpeg support. The stock theme was only using a jpeg image for the splash / curtain. This change means that any custom themes will no longer be able to use jpeg images. It also means that tools used to repack recovery images with a different curtain / splash will need to be updated to use the new method.
Version number notes: For a while we’ve been using a 4 digit version number and reserved the 4th digit for device-specific updates. For instance, we find and fix a device-specific issue like decryption of data on Nexus 5, we would release that as a 2.8.7.1. After a while, some people would start asking where 2.8.7.1 was for other devices. So, going forward we have decided to change the numbering scheme to 3.0.0-2, etc. Our hope is that this version numbering scheme will more clearly identify that the 4th digit does not indicate a version change for the code base.
We need your help! The bulk of TWRP work is done by 3 people on a volunteer basis. We have pushed most of our device files to our github and we have a gerrit instance. If you have the ability, please help us maintain our official devices and/or add your device to our official device list. Thanks in advance!
CHANGELOG for 2.8.7.0:
-Initial ground work for software drawn keyboard (_that)
-Fix handling of wiping internal storage on datamedia devices (xuefer)
-Allow DataManager to set and read values from the system properties (xuefer)
-Fix crash when taking screenshots on arm64 devices (xuefer)
-Fix error message after an ORS script completes (Dees_Troy)
-Fix crashes / error when creating encrypted backups (_that, Dees_Troy)
-Add system read only option – more details below (Dees_Troy)
-Add resize2fs and GUI option to run resize2fs (Dees_Troy)
-Fix crash loop caused by empty lines in AOSP recovery command file (_that)
-Prevent duplicate page overlays such as multiple lock screens (mdmower)
Note: As always, be sure your custom theme is up to date (or remove your custom theme) before updating TWRP.
System read only option: Devices that ship with 5.0 and higher as their initial OS are using block level OTA updates. With this style of OTA update, the update script checks to see if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. Further, the script also usually runs an SHA sum of the entire system partition to detect if any changes have been made. If any changes have been made, the OTA update will refuse to install. Since not all OEMs and devices have factory images available, we have created a new feature in TWRP that detects if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. If not, you will be prompted asking if you want TWRP to mount system as read/write. If you choose not to allow TWRP to mount as read/write, TWRP won’t prompt to install SuperSU and TWRP won’t try to patch the stock ROM to prevent TWRP from being replaced by stock recovery. The goal of this option is to hopefully allow the user to make a raw system image backup that they can use to get back to a state where they can take OTA updates again.
resize2fs feature: On some devices like the Nexus 6, the factory images include a userdata image that is the proper size only for the 32GB units. If you flash the factory image to a 64GB Nexus 6, the data partition will appear as if it only has the free space of a 32GB device. Using the resize2fs option, TWRP can resize your data partition to take up the full space available. The resize2fs may also be useful to resize system partitions on devices where custom ROM system images don’t take up the full partition space. Lastly, resize2fs may be useful in some cases to reserve the proper space at the end of a data partition for a full disk encryption key, should your partition be formatted incorrectly for some reason.
This new version also marks our first set of full builds using our new jenkins build server. You can track the progress of builds at https://jenkins.twrp.me and we have taken additional steps to make it easier for device maintainers to step up and submit patches to our gerrit server at https://gerrit.twrp.me to help us keep devices up to date and working.
DOWNLOAD:
Most devices can be updated quickly and easily within TWRP if you already have version 2.8.4.0 or higher installed
1) Download the latest version from our website on your device
2) Reboot to TWRP
3) Hit Install and tap the "Images..." button in the lower right
4) Browse to the location of the TWRP image on your device and select it
5) Select recovery from the partition list and swipe to flash
OR:
You can find more information and download links on our NEW website! NOTE that the 2.8.6.0 version is ONLY available on our new site and is not available on our other, older mirrors!
BUGS:
If you have found a bug, please consider posting it to our github issues log. It's pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 40 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, your best bet is to PM me directly, contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below. If you see someone that's struggling, feel free to point it out to us. We need your help to help us keep track of all of our devices! Thanks!
SUPPORT:
Live support is available via #twrp on Freenode with your IRC client or just click this link.

True story :good::good:
Mission accomplished.
USB Storage is dead on Windows 8.1, but MTP works almost as fast as USB Storage. Shouldn't be an issue for anyone.:fingers-crossed:
@abhi_qwerty, have a read of this and then tell if the issue persists.
Does this work with older JB and KitKat ROMs that are not aw3some based?

Unfortunately not. But I can cook something up if there's people wanting that.
Edit: Though that'll qualify as unofficial, as it'll be a personal build. That'll show up on the Experiments thread, if ever.

[RECOVERY] [20.11.2016] Unofficial TWRP for Ulefone Metal - 3.0.2-0

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
CHANGELOG for 3.0.2-0:
-Fix a bug with the input box that affected masked inputs (passwords). This fixes decrypt of full device encryption on devices that support decrypt. This bug also impacts encrypted backups. Users are highly encouraged to stop using 3.0.1 if you use encrypted backups or if you need decrypt of data in TWRP.
-Add Greek translation to some builds.
CHANGELOG for 3.0.1-0:
-support new CM 13.0 pattern encryption (sultanqasim)
-fix slow flashing issue due to modprobe (present on only some devices) (#twrp)
-libtar updated to latest upstream and fixes (jcadduono)
-fixes for loading custom themes (_that)
-TWRP will now detect and install TWRP themes automatically through the normal zip install process (Dees_Troy)
-translation updates - added Italian, Czech and Polish and significant updates to Dutch
-progress bar improvements - progress bar updates during image flashing and better tracks progress during file system backups (tar) (Dees_Troy)
-fix input box text display (Dees_Troy)
-reboot option after zip install complete (bigbiff)
-other mostly invisible bug fixes and improvements
CHANGELOG for 3.0.0-0:

i've flashed TWRP and when i boot it, the phone just shows the ulefone logo and then restarts..
I tried to flash with flashtools and via fastboot flash recovery...
Its possible to flash custom rom, which works quite nice, but TWRP won't come up so i can't root phone or do nandroid backups.
Any help? Any idea how to get logs of what happening?
BTW: reflashed offical stock does the same, displays ulefone logo and reboots..
EDIT:
Flashed recover as boot, and boot as recovery:
Normal boot (should start TWRP now) reboots all the time.
Recovery boot (should boot normal boot.img now) works and boots the System..
So there has to be a problem with the downloaded TWRP/Recovery Image not working on my phone..
It's normal Ulefone Metal don't know why it doesn't work.. wpuld like so see some logs or something
Edit2:
Flashed twrp-3-0-2-4es-by-mdsdev from needrom,
which worked.. don't know why any other one didn't...
I can not find the scatter mentioned in the post. I tried to install it with another scatter or another TWRP, but when I try to run the recovery it simply restarts.
Regards, I inform you that I have been doing a series of tests on my mobile, to try to flash some existing roms. For now the following happens: The official firmware from the 20160912 and lower version do not work (I still have to try the 20161019 version), the 20161024 and 20161117 versions work correctly.
Another error, for now the one that has me more restless is the following: The only functional recovery is the TWRP of the user hanuma50 that has incompatibility with certain roms, the other versions of TWRP available do not work, when trying to install it using SPFT , Flashify or from the same TWRP are installed correctly, but at the time of running it simply restarts the mobile and starts the system normally.
I'm thinking because it is because there is surely a new batch of mobile with changes to the hardware, but I do not know, Do you know anything about it?
Another thing, if the darksense kernel flashed the mobile stops working (it enters an infinite loop with the Ulefone logo), it was tested in stock rom and in the Eragon rom.

It is not my fault if existing ROM's don't flash properly, we faced this problem on Elephone P9000, it is because the people who develop the ROM's don't use the proper mount points, if they did, it would flash. Instead, they use the mount points for the ported recoveries which are not correct.
End of story, not my fault and I will not support the people that this happens to.

I think here's some confusion. As far as I understand it, it's not a problem of neither the recovery, nor wrong mount points.
There's just a newer revision of the model it seems. This newer models only work with recovery, built against stock pre-built kernel (aka ports).
Our rom is built for being flashed by this recovery, because this recovery is the only compiled one. Unfortunately, there's nothing which can be done without ulefone updating the kernel source code.

Provide me with the device source to build this recovery from then, instead of hiding your source in a private bit bucket repo. I'm Jonathon Fitch, the guy who's source you probably based yours on. The least you could do is share...

Of course we didn't build upon your kernel. Why should we have done this?
We are using your recovery, or more detailed, we are suggesting to use your recovery.
What's your problem? We did not disrespect you in any way.

[RECOVERY][tulip] TWRP 3.3.0-1 by ATG Droid

Team Win Recovery Project
WHAT IS TWRP?
Team Win Recovery Project is a custom recovery for Android devices.
It allows you to back up and restore your data, flash custom ROMs to your device, repair broken file systems, and root your device.
Read more about TWRP here: https://twrp.me/about/
WHAT THIS THREAD IS ABOUT?
This thread is about a serious TWRP development for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro. By serious I mean a development which isn't using device tree which was just badly kanged from another device or it's a dirty port without any direct compilation from source. That means that issues like a low brightness, which is caused by a maintainer not being able to set the real maximum brightness which is supported by the device, aren't here.
FEATURES:
MTP support
USB OTG storage support
Hardware Qualcomm-based full-disk encryption support ( ext4 & f2fs )
ext4, f2fs, NTFS, fat file system support (read, write, format, backup & restore)
Covers more partitions for nandroid backup and the backup/restore of them really works!
Covers more partitions for image installation, including System, Vendor, Cust, Cache, Userdata, persist, persistbak, boot logo, modem firmware, and even Bluetooth firmware
ADB root
Always synced with signatures from Android platform, so you don't have to worry about the signature mismatch on MIUI incremental OTA installation
Full SELinux support
Support for Asian languages
Included logd/logcat support
Support for mounting USB storage - Mount -> Mount USB Storage in recovery menu.
ISSUE?
If you face any problem then just let me know and i will fix it asap. I'm not a magician to know everything, so if you won't report it then it's probably not gonna be fixed.
CHANGELOG
3.2.3.0, 18.1.2019
- initial release
3.2.3.1, 19.1.2019
- Fixed USB storage, from now on you can mount it
by clicking on Mount -> Mount USB Storage in the recovery menu.
3.2.3.2, 21.1.2019
- Imported selinux service contexts
- Added ability to backup/restore system/vendor images
- increased platform security values to override anti-rollback features to something rather insane
- Added system vold decryption support, since a process of getting keystore to work
on this device was a pure hell for me, but still this is in testing, just let me know if it works for you, but be careful and better backup your data before trying this...
3.3.0.1, 15.4.2019
- Slightly modified screen offset, so you can now see clock in the statusbar.
- Updated decryption blobs to pie, decryption should now work properly, after that there is also slightly improved vold decryption in case that default decryption fails
- Updated kernel to Android 9.0

Yep, that's what I mentioned in a changelog. And if you're talking about that "anti rollback" protection which is here promoted by the guy who compiled that fork of a TWRP called pitch black, then don't believe it. He didn't changed the required properties for it in his device tree. So it's actually just a clickbait and his recovery build doesn't really support that.
Actually his build doesn't even include the proper max. brightness which is supported by the LCD driver of this device. That's why I mentioned in a OP that compared to other TWRP builds here this thread is meant to be a serious development and not just a joke.

My bad, I read the entire changelog and yet somehow missed that line... I feel like a dumbass.
Thanks for the clarification, that's actually very important.
ouch, I have removed fingerprints, set pin protection, flashed latest twrp. When I rebooted to recovery, got just the twrp background, frozen, no any options. Worseover, I have turned the phone off, then on, and it asks me for password. I tried with the pin I have set before, yet it says - wrong password. so I cannot get my phone started and I do not know what else to do.

It definetely wasn't frozen. Services would time-out. Just reboot back to the recovery, backup data, backup files in internal memory (sdcard). Format data, restore the previous backup of data and copy back the previous files from /sdcard again. After that flash the 3.2.3.1 version of a recovery and everything will be ok.

Is there any specificity to this ROM ? I mean, compared to Lir and LeaOS you posted recently, or DotOS which is more about performance ?

CAOS , LiR, DotOS, crDRom etc. are AOSP GSI ROMs based on 'phhusson' sources, so the difference in performance, battery life, etc. is minimal. And all have some common bugs- VoLTE, native call recording, offline charging etc. If you like to take pictures, you will be disappointed with the camera...(btw, Footej camera 2-premium is a good enough replacement for gcam).
The main differences between these ROMs are in the customization options.
In my experience CAOS is faster, crDRom is customization monster, LiR is a perfect balance between battery efficiency, performance and the customization. As for DotOS, the previous version 5.1.3 was better.
hi Alf.
Indeed it is a good comparison of the different ROMs. For charging go to PHH trebble option and enable fastcharging to 4000ma. For the Volte it is in progress..., and for the camera I provide GCAM in addition

Do you have any old apk, from before the acquisition ?

Disclaimer: I am a simple user, and am not affiliated with Semaphore or ZipoApps.
Recently, Footej Camera (or officially, Footej Camera 2) was bought by ZipoApps.
After seeing things like the buyouts of software like QuickPic or certain (legacy) parts of Nano Defender and the resulting consequences, naturally I was concerned with this, especially when ZipoApps's line of business is buying existing apps and monetizing them.
After some sleuthing, I managed to get the personal cellular number of ZipoApps's CEO, Alik Hochner (I am not going to divulge any more information about how and what was needed for this, to preserve his and other involved people's privacy), and I just spoke with him a few minutes ago.
While I am not completely reassured, due to not having experience with ZipoApps's history, he did strike me as someone who does want to be able to monetize apps while protecting user's privacy to the best of his abilities, though understandably limited by the tools the current market offers without being independent of the mass market.
Make of that what you will, I will continue to keep an eye on the matter, to see whether this turns out to be a turning point for such buyouts for the better or not.

I have flashed this to Honor 8 frd-l19 (emui 8 device). Some problems have been tackled down now with help of dev, thanks to that. Apparently only things to do for now would be able to create misc folder at /data/misc and also credstore at /data/misc/credstore to be able to boot now.*1
Any ideas how to get those folders done? atm. I can access to phone via adb while phone stays at CAOS logo screen, maybe between 10-15mins.
I've tried to:
sudo adb root
adb remount rw, /data
which succees
then
sudo adb shell
cd data
mkdir misc
but get error
mkdir: '/data/misc': Read-only file system
I've also tried to install busybox at twrp*2, but using it via twrp terminal doesn't give su or sudo. When trying without su and just busybox mkdir /data/misc/ it seems to create one and I can even cd to it and create subfolder. After changing right permissions and using chown to those folders everytjing seems to be good. Sure twr doesn't show misc_ce and misc_de etc under data which were tegere when using adb.
Well no surprise that reboot habgs to CAOS logo and when xhecking via adb shell thete's no misc folder under data.
Can anyone give some tips how to be able to create those folders since I can't use adb via twrp or stock recovery. Also strange that when remounting /system as rw I can push & echo changes to there, but not able to create directories to /data after doing the same.
If someone can help, I will shere needed steps to get this running at Honor 8 frd, unless that will just revel next layer of problems.
*1 Device will boot to OS at first boot, won't boot after restart. So after logs there could b found reasons and now tried to fix those with help of dev and might be at the stage that to create folders just once again will be fix.
*2 I have found only 2 different twrp images, both at version 3.2.1-0 which are suitable for this device, others haven't work at all.
I don't have a solution but LiR build doesn't seem to have that problem. I could reboot many times on a hi3650 P9

I have flashed this to Honor 8 frd-l19 (emui 8 device). Some problems have been tackled down now with help of dev, thanks to that. Apparently only things to do for now would be able to create misc folder at /data/misc and also credstore at /data/misc/credstore to be able to boot now.*1
Any ideas how to get those folders done? atm. I can access to phone via adb while phone stays at CAOS logo screen, maybe between 10-15mins.
I've tried to:
sudo adb root
adb remount rw, /data
which succees
then
sudo adb shell
cd data
mkdir misc
but get error
mkdir: '/data/misc': Read-only file system
I've also tried to install busybox at twrp*2, but using it via twrp terminal doesn't give su or sudo. When trying without su and just busybox mkdir /data/misc/ it seems to create one and I can even cd to it and create subfolder. After changing right permissions and using chown to those folders everytjing seems to be good. Sure twr doesn't show misc_ce and misc_de etc under data which were tegere when using adb.
Well no surprise that reboot habgs to CAOS logo and when xhecking via adb shell thete's no misc folder under data.
Can anyone give some tips how to be able to create those folders since I can't use adb via twrp or stock recovery. Also strange that when remounting /system as rw I can push & echo changes to there, but not able to create directories to /data after doing the same.
