twrp 3.5.0 for bonito but not for sargo?

i mean... the source are not the same?

I thought so, too. If I remember correctly there is also the possibility to boot the bonito kernel on sargo ...

Just noticed the new TWRP for Bonito. Perhaps we'll get one down the road too.

If you look at the download page for TWRP 3.5.0 for Bonito, it says it's for Android 9. Sargo got the 3.5.0 update on January 25, but again, based on Android 9. Don't try to download it on Android 10 or 11.

If we can't use TWRP with A11, is there a different manager for making nandroid backups / installing zips etc that does?

Unfortunately not ... at least I am not aware of any. You need to find different backup / restore methods for your device.

Android 11 (LineageOS 18.1) & TWRP

I installed LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11) on my OP7P and want to boot (or flash) TWRP.
There is a lot of different information about the state of TWRP on Android 11.
I hope someone could clearify the following questions:
1. Does TWRP [3.5.2] support Android 11?
the release notes of 3.5.1 state that they "prepared a mini release before Android-11 support."
The release notes of 3.5.2 don't mention android 11 at all.
There are various people in the LOS18.1 thread that can boot twrp, so I assume there is some kind of (partial) support.
2. What if 'fastboot boot twrp.img' doesn't work?
For me I can't boot (or flash) TWRP (on LOS18.1).
So as the twrp/lineage os guide says I do:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It finished succesfull, but my phone stays in fastboot and doesn't reboot.
The TWRP guide says the following:
If fastboot boot command doesn't work you need to root your device and flash the TWRP installer (remember that flashing the TWRP installer you will lose the root).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I find this a very vague description; what do they mean with "doesn't work"?
(when I flash twrp it results in an unbootable phone, might be related to a/b partitions, but I have not enough knowledge of that)
3. Does TWRP work on encrypted phones?
I found various posts that suggest that TWRP doesn't work on encrypted phones.
I can't find any reliable source that supports that statement.
Twrp says this, but that doesn't clearify things at all.
I hope someone could give me some answers, or guide me to some reliable source so I can find it myself.
I find the documentation of LineageOS and TWRP lacking in that perspective.

For question 1, there's no official TWRP for 11.... YET.
Question 2 - I'm thinking cause TWRP doesn't work for 11, that's your issue.
Besides that, if your trying Android 10(because you don't mention what version your using in question 2), I would suggest re downloading, as that process works fine for this phone I'm typing this reply to you on.
Question 3 - I'm sorry, I've got ideas, but it's above my pay grade... So no hard knowledge I'm comfortable calling advice, to give a fellow OP7P owner.

I also think there is no official TWRP for android 11, but twrp doesn't make this very clear in their docs.
Multiple people are claiming they are able to (at least) boot twrp on Android 11.
LineageOS 18.1 is Android 11 (but I will clearify the post).
Thank you for your reply

there is now a working TWRP version for Android 11.
Nebrassy version: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-11-unofficial-teamwin-recovery-project.4289455/
worked for me with 'fastboot boot TWRP-3.5.1-guacamole-Nebrassy-3.img'

Question Magisk-generated patch of ArrowOS boot.img has 0Bytes and cannot be flashed

I'm new to custom ROMs, but I've made it through with an ArrowOS install on my Poco X3 pro thanks to this fantastic step-by-step guide by urbanman2004. I made it all the way up to step 14/d of the guide, which is where I'm running into this problem.
I believe I followed the guide precisely, except for two things:
I already started with an unlocked bootloader (I unlocked it before I found the guide). The general method of unlocking bootloader was the same, but I might have deviated in some of the steps, I don't really know. I don't suppose it's relevant to my issue, but just to be sure...
I downloaded and flashed VANILLA distribution of ArrowOS instead of the recommended gapps one, because I want to use microG instead
So now I'm stuck on point 14/d - patching "boot.img" and fastboot-flashing it... The system seems to be installed and fully working. But when I patch "boot.img" from the VANILLA build, the output file has 0 bytes in size and cannot be flashed, due to this error:
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-22100_LijmZ.img
Sending 'boot' (0 KB) FAILED (File is too large to download)
fastboot: error: Command failed
So my questions are:
1. What is it that I'm trying to do in this step, anyway? The OS seems to be working fine - is this re-locking bootloader again, or something of that sort?
2. What can be done do to debug/circumvent this issue?
Thanks a for your help, it will be much appreciated!

hey i believe that guide is a little old. You can use latest TWRP recovery.
from here.

Oh, so points 13+ are fpr rooting the phone? I see, I don't think I need that... I wanna use the OS with MicroG (installed via NanoDroid), plus apps I acquire via Aurora store... no need for root for that, is there?

[Help] Installing AOSP, TWRP

So I'm pretty new on the whole android customization scene and I've been really wanting to install Android Open Source Project on my Android 10 phone for a while. I've found a video detailing how to go about it, but my problem is that there's not a version of TWRP for my specific phone yet (I have a Blackview BL6000 pro). For the purposes of making a recovery and installing AOSP, I'm wondering if there's another good app that could replace TWRP that functionally does the same things (Or if someone has a TWRP version somehow) that lets me install AOSP.
The video in question I was using as a guide was this one:
Any help would be hugely appreciated!

You not need TWRP for flash GSI (Custom ROMs). You need stock firmware of your device from company or you should make that your self about any problem with your actions.
After you can know how to do have GSI in your device with commands fastbootd: Installing GSI with fastbootd
and/or using this software: Treble Toolkit [A and A/B]
Ofcourse if yourr device is A/B so you need flash the GSI.img in the system_a or system_b so need know what slot is able to that.

Question roms don't work

I have a problem installing Lineage OS. I have installed it with its official method, but at the time of starting its initial configuration it restarts several times until it goes into recovery mode, with the legend of Corrupt Android.
The same thing happens to me with the Pixel Experience which is being developed to be the official ROM soon. The difference is that before restarting and finishing in the same it appears to me that "com.phone.services" It has stopped.
I have done everything by fastboot and platforms tools as indicated by the official methods and their own provided recovery's.
With the STOCK ROM no problem.
Does anyone know what happens?

The recovery images that come from LineageOS site don't seem to work for me. I had to go here to get LOSRecovery.img for it since that's the only possible way any version of LineageOS will function.
Also, from my experience, the unofficial TWRP has issues when installed, but not when booted up directly from bootloader.

I understand, but it is something that also happens to me with the Pixel Experience.
I have not used TWRP. Only the official methods by fastboot and platforms tools
