Why not?
Don't know if you want a nandroid specifically (can't think why that would be). But if return to stock is all you want, you can use the fastboot stock ROMs for that purpose:

I didn't think twrp was compatible with android 10
I just want to have a backup so when I do update and face bootloop etc I've safety net of a back up to restore

Looks like your comment that TWRP is "not impossible" is due to what is stated on another thread you made here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/issues-booting-to-recovery-t4064133
Please see my response there.

Twrp works fine for that. Make sure you are using the latest unofficial from the thread below.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...nt/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3931322
*Edit* the same dev who is responsible for the working unofficial twrp also makes a noob friendly tool that makes installation of twrp so easy that my mom could do it! Check his other thread out and don't forget to hit the thanks button or even consider donating to him!

[Q] Back to Stock without USB

Hey there!
I have a problem: The USB-Port of my Nexus 5 doesn't work anymore. To be sure that I have full warranty I wanted to reset it to fully stock.
lastely I flashed:
Stock Android 5.0 (LRX210)
CWM Recovery (v. 6.0.4.5)
xposed framework
bootloader (HHZ12d) is open
rooted
I made a factory reset to check if this would fix my USB-Port but it did not help.
Since I cannot use the USB connection it's not so easy to get back to stock.
In the internet I only found solutions with adb and fastboot via USB.
Is it possible to flash the stock recovery with CWM?
I thought about locking the bootloader with the app 'Bootunlocker'.
In the moment I feel like i am on a one-way road that's why I wanted to ask before I lock/flash/unroot something which I need for a later step and cannot recover without USB access..
I want to thank you here in advance and sorry for language mistakes (i am not a native speaker)
efrant explained all the steps on the N4 forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34749844&postcount=2
Once again this guide is for NEXUS 4 so do not flash the mentioned files!
Here is a plan i came up with after searching on the web:
Flashing a Stock Rom with CWM to uninstall Xposed framework completly.
Root via CWM.
Locking the bootloader with 'Bootunlocker'.
Using the 'Untamper' button in 'Bootunlocker'.
Using 'Flashify' to flash the stock recovery.
Unroot completely in 'SuperSU'.
Are all steps possible in this order?? Or did I make a mistake in my plan?

Can I use this version here:

Plus boot.img and recovery from here:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-cu...oogle-nexus-factory-images-06-may-2014-a.html
This would be a downgrade from android 5.0 to 4.4.2 is that okay with e.g. CWM or something else?!
Or is there a lollipop version? Always when I found odexed versions they seem to be not really stock anymore like this one:

No! Do not flash files from Nexus 4 forum. You have a Nexus 5 so only flash files for this specific device otherwise you'll brick it.
Here's a thread maintained by vomer for stock flashables: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/rom-n5-l-developer-preview-t2796003
Check other threads to find flashable zips for the boot.img and recovery.img. Or you can flash the stock boot.img (only) with Flashify app.
No prob to keep CWM during the process even if using TWRP would be safer.

Stock recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/recovery-zip-collection-t2636279 (last file to flash!)
You should have the stock kernel after flashing vomer's zip.
Follow the instruction order as indicated by efrant. As a reminder: Warning: if your USB port is indeed broken, and you complete all the steps below, you will have NO possible way at all to unlock your bootloader, or get root, or install a custom recovery. Period.

Recovery for Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935T T-Mobile

I have been trying to find a recovery for my phone that would allow me to to do nandroid backups without success.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
No go for tmobile use flashfire
Locked bootloader = No TWRP.
As stated above, use flashfire.

Hopefully I won't get slaughtered here, I'm used to using TWRP or CWM is it possible to make a backup using Flashfire? lets see the phone bricks since you won't be able to boot into recovery how can you restore from backup ( assuming your'e able to make one via Flashfire?

You do a backup with Flashfire.
If you "brick" then just boot up in Download mode, flash the appropriate firmware, let it boot, go back to download mode, flash the engineering kernel again, re-root, re-install Flashfire then restore your backup. Pretty easy. Not as simple as having a recovery though. It's just pretty time consuming but I've done it dozens of times.

Thanks for the reply, but bear with me a bit I'm a bit confused coming from only using TWRP. I have flash fire installed lets say I do the backup and I'm bricked for whatever reason the phone does not boot up properly the next step would be to get in download mode flash the firmware via Odin I assume? * I don't really understand the flash the engineering Kernel part here what does that actually entail? omitting that step lets say I do boot up normally. At this stage I'm pretty much stock and would root again download flash fire and somehow my backup would be preserved there and can just flash that back up?
Again excuse my ignorance , and thanks for replying

You're making it sound complicated and it really isn't.
Brick?
Go back to stock with Odin
Re-root as before
Restore backup with Flashfire.

Can someone verify this guide claims you can install TWRP on SM-G935T http://www.stupdroid.com/2017/03/root-galaxy-s7-edge-nougat.html

Flashfire is useless without root.
There is no non root version.

That site is full of crap articles they steal from elsewhere and change a few lines of the articles. Take a lot of what they claim with a grain of salt.
The article you listed is meant for the Chinese 930 and 935, attempting it on an American 930/935 will result in a soft brick and loss of data.
I am on mobile, or I would link the original post from here on XDA stupdroid stole, stating clearly you cannot load it onto an American phone.

[XT1575] TWRP Recovery Image for Stock MXP 7.0 Nougat NPH25.200-22

Stock Android 7.0 (Nougat) for the Moto X Pure 2015 XT1575 US NPH25.200-22
TWRP Recovery Image (Includes /boot and /system only)
**Factory reset after restore is advised.**
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B2lKWOIH0bTqc29NbVNWWWhsYVE?usp=sharing
**Not tested coming straight from stock 6.0 MPH24.49-18-16.**
I did an incremental OTA upgrade from stock 6.0 MPH24.49-18-8.
Use at your own risk. If you have TWRP installed your warranty is void anyway. I'm not responsible for bricking your device.
worked great for me 18-16 thanks really appropriate the work

No Nougat modem is available until the flashable (non OTA) full stock 7.0 rom is made available from Motorola. This is not likely to happen. No issues have been mentioned running this update on a 6.0 modem. Not sure what the advantages are honestly. I never had problems with bt, wifi, or calls with the 6.0 modem firmware.
Create a backup beforehand and you can always go back to it.

I get "invalid ZIP file format" using TWRP 3.1.1-0 on an XT1575. Was running lineageOS 14.1 but I wiped system and data before trying to install the zip. On my laptop I can open the ZIP fine and extract the files, but that doesn't help.

See this thread :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/guide-xt1575-update-to-nph25-200-22-t3680477
The OP will need to comment - he may be coming from a rooted stock ; at least according the the thread noted above - if you have installed a custom ROM ; there are other steps besides just trying to flash this
I have NOT tried the OP's method or the referenced thread - so I cannot really speak from experience ; just pointing out other resources that have additional information -
Will this work with XT1572? Just confirming.
This is not a traditional TWRP zip file. It is a backup file. You need to unzip it and put it in the backup directory. You then restore backup, choose the nph25-200-22. . . directory, and away you go!

Well it worked, sort of. It booted to stock but it wasn't stable and the play store kept crashing, I tried all the usual stuff for that, clear services & play store data, uninstall updates, finally tried a factory reset and now I'm stuck in TWRP bootloop, even if I reinstall this image.
So very much YMMV.

How to do a proper backup with TWRP before flashing a new custom rom?

Hello, is there a guide or a reference thread about which partitions should I backup before installing a new custom rom? Should I backup partitions on both sides (A/B)?

If you are looking to backup/restore a custom rom, there is no recovery for the 8 series to successfully do that. TWRP can't properly handle logical partitions and virtual A/B. Nor can it properly restore userdata.
If you are talking coming from stock, the only partition that's recommended for backup is persist.img. You can do that via MSM or via usb terminal command.

No, you never backup both sides. You only ever backup the active slot.

Wow! You're way behind the times. The 8T (and you're posting in an 8T forum) has an official TWRP that works brilliantly!
There's also an official TWRP for the 8/8 Pro which also does the things you say can't be done.

I had a very brief look and it seemed to be very similar, but not better (had the same long startup time). I also thought the UI needed some tuning.

TWRP compatible with Android 12?

Hey Everyone,
I'm looking to try LOS 19.1 for the first time on my new OP8T.
I always see TWRP as a suggestion for the best custom recovery, but on the download page "twrp-installer-3.7.0_11-0-kebab.zip" is the file name. I'm confused, as the 11-0 means it's for Android 11, but I saw that TWRP 3.7.0 is supposed to support Android 12.
Can I use TWRP for installing LOS 19.1 on Android 12 or should I use the LOS-recovery?
And if I do, can I still use Magisk (on their page they say to use TWRP)?
Sorry for this newbie question. Thanks in advance!!
All the best
The official TWRP doesn't support A12.
Use the unofficial one from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...in-recovery-project-8t-9r-2022-07-27.4473983/

It works on both the 8T and the 9 9R. If you want to be sure try to boot into it before flashing.

If you look at the title of that thread you'll notice that it says "TeamWin Recovery Project (8T / 9R)".
So, yes, it's for both the 8T and 9R (lemonades) but not the 9 (lemonade).

That happens if you have files under /data/fonts/files/, but you would need to check the recovery.log to confirm that is what's causing the problem.

Thanks all! One should perhaps forbid files under /data/fonts/files/ ... After deleting those, I could finish both (unofficial) Orangefox and (unofficial) TWRP backup just fine. Agreed, this does not 100% prove ERROR root cause but sure does consistently correlate. So now maybe one should harden custom recovery images to avoid the trap, especially since the trap seems to be a known one by some people (like @BillGoss).

Correct, but only in incremental updates.
But I don't think the current TWRP can process OOS incremental updates - the last time I tried I got an error.

Flashing OTA zips - both full and incremental. Note: incremental OTAs need stock boot and recovery installed so make sure you flash these before starting the install, otherwise it will fail.

Lol! I think I'm going senile!
Given that I tend to test before making statements like the one you quoted, I'd say that that is correct for the 1-4 version of TWRP.
But it may not be true for 1-5 as I've found some issues with it (eg, fastbootd doesn't work) and I've not fully tested flashing otas with 1-5.

I went hunting and I found the conversation where I flagged the problem with flashing OTAs on the latest TWRP (on the TWRP development site):
I wanted to test using TWRP to install an OTA zip on OOS 12. The first time I tried I got an error because it was expecting the current version to match those of C.33 but they didn't - even though I was on C.33. So I used `resetprop` to set the proper values and then it sort of worked, but still gave errors.
I was using the latest version (1.5 or 220827) of TWRP.

And now I'm wondering how correct my statement about flashing OTAs working on the previous version. I'll have to do some more digging to see if I can find solid proof of OTA working on TWRP 12 v1.4.
Update: I found where I tested flashing OTAs on TWRP 12. That was back on 220805. That was before 1.4 came out (220818). But I didn't expect that this function would get broken, so I never actually tested on 1.4.

So as i understood correctly flashing OTAs in TWRP is broken on v1.4 and works on prior versions?
