All about Android 11 for the POCO F2 Pro - Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans

Did somebody try the Beta/Dev Rom for the Poco F2 Pro? How it is?
Looks like in 2 weeks Google will release stable Android 11.

about Android11
it is unstable for now,some bank apps are crashed,and system is constantly reboot itself,however,you can enjoy new GPU driver.

Using for a while on China Developer ROM. There are no crashes or performance issues, but for me biggest deal breaker is that DJI Go 4 app isn't working at the moment. I hope they update it soon to work with Android 11.

Does the beta come with A/B partition for seamless updates? I heard Android 11 will require devices to be in an A/B partition system, which would come handy for OTA updates on rooted devices.
(Currently, we're on an A-only partition with MIUI12 & Android 10)
You could easily answer my question by installing Treble Check (from KevinT.) on the Play Store. The app checks which partition system is used on the device (currently says "Seamless System Updates Unsupported" with Android 10).

I have EU ROM Android 11 Beta weekly 20-08-20 installed. Treble Check says Only A partition, Seamless System updates Unsupported".

Alrighty, thank you.
I hope this will be in the first release of Android 11 in September. They are planning to make a virtual A/B partition for all devices.

AFAIK only devices launched with Android 11 are required to adopt it's new features like A/B partitions and enforced background processes handling.

Thats why we will not get it.

OnePlus 8, backup important partitions

Dear members,
Which partitions have to copy to save backup related to IMEI number, data of modem, bluetooth, fingerprint, and other important system partitions on OnePlus 8 phone? I mean safety before flashing custom ROMs and possibly returning to the factory system Oxygen OS 11 in case of failure.
I am asking for your possible suggestions,
thank you.
OnePlus 8 Pro 256GB Device
OOS 11.0.10.10
TWRP 3.6 installed
Magisk 23.0 installed
Hello
To try to help you, I can tell you what information I was able to recover about backups before flashing roms other than OOS provided OTA by OnePlus.
It is necessary to back up, at least, the following partitions:
- Boot
- DTBO
- Recovery
- Super System (system_ext product vendor system)
These four partitions seem to be essential to operate the device if the custom rom is not suitable.
If you perform a "Nandroid" backup with TWRP, you can, as a precautionary measure, backup all partitions and restore them together as well and you will have an exact reproduction of all files, presentations, settings, apps and their data , etc
It is advisable to remove any password or unlock pattern to unlock the device before performing the backup.
Finally, I found a site that explains the different partitions for Android 11 but the names of these partitions seem not to be quite the same for OOS 11
Overview | Android Open Source Project
source.android.com
I don't know if my information will be useful to you.
I will be interested in what you can learn about this subject of safeguarding.
Best regards,
Thank you for the response and your help.
I have the same device.
It seems that there is also an issue such as the persistent partition, the loss of which may cause problems with the fingerprint unlock function. In the same forum section, users requests this partition after losing it after using the MSM tool.
It is not entirely clear to me which partitions in OnePlus 8 contain the IMEI number, modem data, bluetooth, etc. I found a hint after installing the Partitions Backup by wanam app, where the essential partitions for the backup copies are marked in color.
These are:
- MDM1M9KEFS1, MDM1M9KEFS2, MDM1M9KEFS3, MDM1M9KEFSC, MODEM_A, MODEM_B, MODEMDUMP, MODEMST1, MODEMST2
However, when it comes to a copy of Nandroid from TWRP, they are listed there:
metadata, Data (excl. storage), Boot, EFS, Modem, Persist, Recovery, VBmeta and Super.
There are 2 questions: 1. Which of these partitions to include in the OOS backup 2. What is safer to use: fastboot mode or TWRP?
Best regards
Hello
I am happy to share with you my "meager" knowledge regarding the OnePlus 8 Pro device and TWRP
With my old devices (LG G3, Samsung S7, Edge), I used LineageOS roms a lot because it was a way to have the latest versions of Android, up to the equivalent of Oreo (Android 8)
To perform the backups with TWRP, I selected all the partitions and I also restored all the partitions: I then had a strictly operational and identical device at the time of the backup.
Since buying the OnePlus 8 Pro, in the fall of 2020, I have only installed Magisk, which gives access to the Root of the device and all OTA versions of OxygenOS, up to the current one: 11.0. 10.10
I have available Magisk installation links for rooting and lossless OTA update installations of Magisk.
I hadn't used TWRP because the latest versions weren't suitable for OnePlus 8 and Pro or T series beyond OxygenOS 9.
On the official TWRP website, the links for version 3.6 do not bring a file.
You have to use the XDA link
[TWRP][3.7.0-13][instantnoodle]TWRP for OnePlus 8/8Pro ][OFFICIAL][BETA 3]
TWRP for OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro TWRP is an open source, community project. TWRP development is done by a large support community with many people who are willing to answer questions and help people with their devices either through our IRC...
forum.xda-developers.com
To get to the TWRP file download link in version 3.6

For my part, I downloaded the "twrp-op8-3.6.0_11-infected-b5.img" file which has since been updated to version twrp-op8-3.6.0_11-infected-b7.img ago 10 a.m. as of this writing.
I installed the file as indicated on the thread:
fastboot flash recovery_a twrpname .img
fastboot flash recovery_b twrpname.img
Then, I was able to restart the OnePlus 8 Pro in Recovery mode (rather slow loading) and I then performed my first full “Nandroid” backups by selecting all the boxes (see screenshots)
For the moment, I stopped there: I did not dare to restore these backups, to find out if the device worked in a completely identical way, before launching a custom rom other than the original roms provided by OnePlus: I was unable to find any threads relating to "Nandroid" backups of the OnePlus 8 series.
On the other hand, I never used the MSM tool and I always did the backup/restore with TWRP which I was used to, I never did with fastboot commands, except for installing TWRP 3.6.
Above all, I have never tried to modify the partitions of the devices, old or current. My knowledge is nil in this area, especially with the new “dynamic” scores!!
I've tried app backups with "adb" commands but haven't been able to restore app-related data like I can with the "Swiftbackup" app discussed below.
Finally, so far on the rooted OnePlus 8 Pro, for my app backups, I use the "Swiftbackup" app.
Swift Backup - Apps on Google Play
A simple, fast and smart backup solution for Android smartphones
play.google.com
which works perfectly identical to "Titanium Backup"): this last application has been obsolete for several years and is no longer updated for the latest versions of Android (9 and beyond)
This "Swiftbackup" app performs a backup / restore of all installed apps WITH their data, locally and / or on the cloud, with or without system settings and apps on the condition of having a rooted device.
For my SMS, MMS and call log backups, I use the SMS Backup and Restore application: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore
To tell the truth, I don't really need TWRP but I'm curious and I wanted to see the possibilities brought by TWRP 3.6, only suitable for OxygenOS 11.
This is where my knowledge is that I share with you.
The version of OOS 12 should arrive during the 1st quarter (already released in India) but it will be necessary to wait for the version of TWRP which will be adapted to the latest OS from OnePlus.
I remain of course at your disposal to continue to exchange about TWRP, within the limits of my knowledge!!
Best regards,
Thanks for your message. However, I'm afraid that is not exactly what this thread was about.
Regards
I have an in2017 running on 10.5.22in55cb. Any idea how to root? I tried twrp and that failed. Have not been able to find a boot.img either. Thanks.

Development [Experimental] Unofficial TWRP for Lenovo TB-Q706F (P12/Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.6)

C:
#include <std/disclaimer.h>
/*

*/
This is mostly based on Ungeskriptet's work on TB-J716F. Many thanks to his work. Additionally thanks to the devs of twrpdtgen utility which is very useful for obtaining some very helpful information about the device from a stock recovery image.
The recovery is currently flashable and functional. You may refer to the flashing guide for J716F to flash the recovery on this device as the procedure is the same.
The following stuffs were tested working: Decryption (A11 only), Backup, Wiping, Touch, Fastbootd, MicroSD card.
Other functionalities should behave similar to TB-J716F TWRP.
Not working stuffs: Vibration, busybox (haven't really checked but should be similar to TB-J716F).
Device tree: twrp_device_lenovo_Q706F
UPDATE (Jan 14, 2023): Updated builds of TWRP 3.7.0 for Android 11 (A11) and 12 (A12).
twrp-Q706F-A11-3.7.0-r2: This is for Android 11 GSIs. Can only reliably decrypt Android 11 /data partitions.
twrp-Q706F-A12-3.7.0-r2: This is for Android 12 GSIs. CANNOT decrypt Android 11 /data partitions. Need further testing for Android 12 /data partitions.
Neither build can decrypt Android 13 /data at the moment. If security is not a concern for your use case, you may consider using a tool such as DFE-NEO to disable force encryption of /data. This will enable TWRP to access your /data partition under all circumstances and will save you the hassle of having to back up the entire /data partition when going back and forth between different GSIs.
The updated build contains many more options that can be backed up in case needed. Additionally, some parameters necessary for decrypting A12 /data has been added. Unfortunately, from current feedbacks, it seems decryption is only possible if not using any lock (PIN, Pattern, or Password). Also, with these parameters, it is now possible to make A12 TWRP determine the lock type of A11 /data partition, but it cannot be decrypted even with the correct credential provided.
EXPERIMENTAL: I've added a nuclear option for /data backup, the "Data Image" option. This will back up your /data partition as a whole regardless of its content. You need a large enough external SD card for this option to work, as TWRP's "Enable Compression" doesn't appear to do anything for emmc backups.
!! WARNING !! - Before backing up the entire /data partition, BE SURE TO REMOVE ANY SCREEN LOCK, as after restore, while your system will boot, YOUR CREDENTIALS MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED ANYMORE! YOU WILL LOSE ACCESS TO YOUR USER FILES.
The resulted backup would depend on the size of your internal storage. In my case, the data partition was about 230GB in size, and the whole backup process as well as digest creation took about 2.5 hours in total.
Backing up of the entire /data partition is still experimental, and make sure to check that you're backing up to an external storage if you checked the "Data Image" option!
Spoiler: Old Changelogs
Apr 9, 2022: A second version has been uploaded, using blobs from TB-Q706Z_S212073_220222_ROW. The recovery's decryption mechanism appears to work okay. Haven't tested other stuffs but I don't think there would be too much difference compared to the initial build, which was based on PRC blobs.
Still using the Q706F product name. Not sure if the same recovery can be used as-is on a Q706Z (5G variant).
UPDATE (Jul 7, 2022): I'm uploading two new builds. Both builds can now mount the MicroSD card.
UPDATE (Dec 3, 2022): I've made two builds of TWRP 3.7.0 for Android 11 (A11) and 12 (A12).
twrp-recovery-Q706F-A11-3.7.0-r1: This is for Android 11 GSIs. Can decrypt Android 11 /data partitions. Decryption of Android 12 /data is unlikely.
twrp-recovery-Q706F-A12-3.7.0-r1: This is for Android 12 GSIs. CANNOT decrypt Android 11 /data partitions.
TESTING NEEDED (A12): As of TWRP 3.7.0, support for decryption of Android 12 /data is considered formal and should in theory work in most cases. I'm still using Android 11 GSI so I cannot test this myself, so users who are on Android 12 GSIs can test whether it's possible to decrypt your Android 12 /data partitions with the A12 build.
Spoiler: Development Notes
The recovery kernel and the vendor libraries I used for the device tree were dumped from my own device when I first started experimenting with phh-AOSP GSI, though I think files from the ROW image should also work on all devices. My device was on ZUI 13.0.437_211106 PRC at that time, but I'm using ROW kernel and vendor now since they work correctly on GSI.
Some main issues encountered during porting:
- Touchscreen input was rotated by default, that I have to add some configuration parameters to correct it.
- Decryption didn't work initially. Apparently Q706F used some different parameters compared to J716F according to fstab.qcom from my device's vendor image.
In overall, Q706F is not too much different from J716F as they use the same SoC and most of the internal configurations are identical between the two (so very few changes were made to the configuration files during porting).
I currently don't use MicroSD card on this device at the moment, but from what I saw in the recovery, it doesn't appear to expose /dev/block/mmcblk* like most devices, even after I inserted one. I'm not sure where I should use to access the SD card device.
UPDATE (Jul 7, 2022): It seems the tablet does expose the MicroSD card as /dev/block/mmcblk0p1, and I could already mount it via command line using default options to begin with. As a result, adding formal MicroSD card support turned out to be easier than I thought.
UPDATE (Jan 14, 2023): Everyone has been very helpful. Looks like twrp.flags is the right place to add partitions meant to be backed up. In order to make backups as complete as possible, a lot of partitions have been added thanks to everyone's effort.
Great to see some development many thanks.
I tried to flash gapps_full_11.0 downloaded from https://opengapps.org/,but it says partition space is insufficient , and I have already build a full aosp11_r48 system.img along with allocating about 4000M capacity to system partition. Weird

Are you using a non-vndklite GSI? It's not trivial to mount system r/w with such GSI. You need vndklite GSI for that, or simply grab a bgN variant (g denotes gapps included).
Wait... which ROM are you using exactly? AOSP11 r48? I don't recall seeing any ROM development for this tablet.
Actually I built aosp for my lenovo tablet p12 pro

Will you be publicly releasing this ones it's all working?
Dang I just stumbled onto this, didn't realize someone had already put in the work to get twrp, but I have already updated my p12 to the latest build. Any chance of updating decryption to the most current build? I assume this will be the last android 11 build while they work on 12L. I personally won't ever be updating this device to 12 due to the major stepbackwards in ui google is taking so having a final twrp on the last 11 build would be great.

Sorry for a late response. Which build are you currently on?
I'm not sure how decryption works with updates but things are indeed more complicated after taking encrypted /data into consideration.
Maybe I can consider tailoring the TWRP tree against a newer ROW build when I have time, but I won't be able to do in-depth tests myself as the current build configuration on my device is quite stable that I don't want to change it in the near future.
A second version has been released using TB-Q706Z_S212073_220222_ROW blobs.
It decrypts my /data just fine, as I'm currently using Android 11 GSI. Looks like the vendor or other components don't really matter for decryption as long as the system is still on Android 11.
Simply put, until TWRP formally supports Android 12, it's not possible for TWRP to decrypt /data partitions created by Android 12.
I am actually still on TB-Q706F_S212017_211231_ROW. OTA doesn't play nice after rooting so haven't had a chance to update yet but I will so I can give it a spin.

You can just pair the Precision Pen through Bluetooth.
I'm not sure about vendor-specific features, but basic functionality (as a pointer device) should work okay.

Just updated to the latest build and flashed the V2 of twrp. I am getting stuck on the TWRP splash screen after booting to recovery
Disregard, just reflashed Magisk and gave it a minute and its solid now. Thanks for building!
Worked great on the US version of the P12 Pro. To unlock the bootloader on the US version all that was needed was "fastboot flashing unlock" which brought up the unlock bootloader prompt. Flashed magisk without issue.
Worked great on the XiaoXin Pad with ZUI.
What I did:
Full backup (all part-s)
Full restore
Restore only super.
Flashing modified RW super (due to unsucceful flashing modified RW super via fastboot) via Install -- Install img
Full backup using OTG USB disk.
All this working beautiful. Many thanks to creator!
Added two new builds. One for Android 11, the other is a testing one for Android 12. SD card should be working now.
I only tested the Android 12 one briefly without flashing. It seems the Android 12 build cannot decrypt my Android 11 /data partition, and is a bit bigger in size compared to the Android 11 one. Only the Android 11 build decrypts my /data at the moment, and I've successfully flashed it into my device.
Need someone who's on Android 12 GSI to test whether it's possible to decrypt Android 12 /data. However, according to the README of the minimal TWRP manifest's A12.1 branch, that decryption is still WIP and may only work when screen locks (password/PIN/pattern) are disabled.
TWRP v3 for A11 works with SD cards, tested on ZUI.
SD card has exFAT file system.
Many thanks to the author from me.
TWRP for A12 is not working with A12 Global firmware (TB-Q706F_USR_S410033_2208041209_Q00050_ROW)
The tablet stuck on Lenovo logo.
Can you try to fix this ?
Works for rooting Lenovo P12 Pro with magisk
Android: 12
Model: TB-Q706F
Build #: TB-Q706F_S410033_220804_ROW
Software Version: TB-Q706F_RF01_220804
Decryption of /data doesn't work, SD card mounting doesn't work in TWRP, works fine once booted.
Edit:
make sure to disable automatic software updates in the updates section and disable applying updates on reboot in the developer settings. Otherwise you might end up semi-bricked (black screen on boot) if it tries to update on it's own, and the only way to fix it is to restore the stock recovery and factory reset and start over.
A late update. I've put up two TWRP 3.7.0 builds. One for Android 11 and the other for Android 12.
Added some more partitions that could be backed up. Many thanks to @f1tm0t for the changes.
I also updated the vendor blobs in the Android 12 build to TB-Q706F_USR_S410033_2208041209_Q00050_ROW just in case, but from the looks of it the vendor of this more recent stock FW still says Android 11, despite the system image is indeed Android 12, so this change may not be immediately necessary.
Need Android 12 users to test whether decryption works now, as since TWRP 3.7.0 support for decrypting Android 12 /data partitions is now formal.

Confusion About Treble check apps

First of all
I have a mobiistar C1
MTK6739WA
Android 8.1.0
Phone so tried a treble check app
It says Arm A-Only OK
Now I installed LOS 17.1 arm A-Only GSI
And it booted successfully
After installing GSI
I tried treble Check again and it shows Seamless Update supported
In two apps but in third app it says Seamless update not supported
Originally In stock ROM it says A-Only but after LOS installed it kind of Confusing does it means my phone is now capable of installing A-B Gsi Roms

FBEv1 or FBEv2 ?

Hi all, I'm working with RROS on my OP7pro and I see TWRP is available to download in FBEv1 or FBEv2 versions, can anyone tell me certainly which rom type it is? I cannot find any contacts to ask on the RR webpage.
Regards, Jon.
Depends on the ROM but stock Oxygen OS would use FBEv1
How could one determine which FBE version is used by what ROMs?, and I assume this is a type of encryption but can you someone also tell me what the Acronym stands for so i can research this a little further?
From https://source.android.com/docs/security/features/encryption/file-based
Version 2 encryption policies use a more secure and flexible key derivation function. The default is v2 if the device launched on Android 11 or higher (as determined by ro.product.first_api_level), or v1 if the device launched on Android 10 or lower.

Known issues with Android 14 GSIs​Android 14 GSI binaries have the following GSI-specific known issues:
Phone Audio: When using the integrated dialer, you might not hear any audio on the phone. This is due to a change in the telephony service installation location in Android 10.
Power Cycle: Rebooting GSI might fail on some devices. To work around it, reboot the device into recovery mode, erase user data, perform a factory reset, and then reboot the device.
System partition size: GSI + GMS file size (images named _gsi\_gms\_arm64-*_) might be bigger than the default dynamic system partition size on your device. To work around this issue, you can delete some non-essential dynamic partitions, such as the product partition, and flash the GSI again. For more information, see the flashing GSIs documentation.

General advisories​GSI binaries offer core OS and framework functionality that is common to all Android 13 QPR beta builds, but they might be missing specific functionality as listed and are not intended for commercial use.
Please be aware of the following general advisories:
GSI binaries are an experimental tool intended only for use by developers who want early access to test and validate their apps. They are not intended for general use.
Using a GSI might void the warranty for your device, erase all data on your device, and might brick your device.
Using a GSI requires a bootloader-unlocked, Treble-compliant device that originally launched with Android 9 (API level 28) or higher.
Apps embedded in GSIs are for evaluation usage; some apps might not function as expected.
GSI releases aren't Compatibility Test Suite (CTS)‑approved. Apps that depend on CTS-approved builds might not work normally.
Known issues​Android 13 GSI binaries have the following GSI-specific known issues:
Phone Audio: When using the integrated dialer, you might not hear any audio on the phone. This is due to a change in the telephony service installation location in Android 10.
Power Cycle: Rebooting GSI might fail on some devices. To work around it, reboot the device into recovery mode, erase user data, perform a factory reset, and then reboot the device.
System partition size: GSI + GMS file size (images named _gsi\_gms\_arm64-*_) might be bigger than the default dynamic system partition size on your device. To work around this issue, you can delete some non-essential dynamic partitions, such as the product partition, and flash the GSI again. For more information, see the flashing GSIs documentation.

Android 13 GSI binaries and release notes​
Android Generic System Image (GSI) binaries are available to developers for app testing and validation purposes on supported Treble-compliant devices. Developers can use these images to address any compatibility issues with Android 13 QPR2 as well as discover and report OS and framework issues until Android 13 QPR2 is officially released.
GSI binaries for Android 13 QPR2 are built from the same AOSP and GMS sources as the corresponding Google Pixel builds. These binaries contain the same API and SDK, have a similar CTS result, and have been validated on the following Pixel devices:
Pixel 4a and 4a (5G)
Pixel 5 and 5a
Pixel 6 and 6 Pro
Pixel 6a
Pixel 7 and 7 Pro
See the GSI documentation for device requirements, flashing instructions, and more information on choosing the right image type for your device. To find GSI binaries for already-released, stable versions of the platform, see the Generic System Image releases page.
Note: File GSI bugs for any system-related issues you encounter. Make sure to attach a full bug report and clearly indicate that you are using a GSI buildin your bug description to help us find your issues and address them more quickly. For app-related issues found when using a GSI, we recommend reproducing the issue on a Pixel device before contacting the app developer directly.
General advisories​GSI binaries offer core OS and framework functionality that is common to all Android 13 QPR beta builds, but they might be missing specific functionality as listed and are not intended for commercial use.

I would expect that it's an "Experimental" GSI build of Stable, since the page makes no mention of QPR.
