Hi,
I've created a simple app flashing util.
But i need to figure out if the device is running TWRP recovery or CWM recovery.
I found out that devices with TWRP installed has a file in "/sdcard/TWRP/.version" but that file exists even if we later changed to CWM from TWRP.
Is there any build property or something to figure out what recovery is currently active on the device?
I'm currently running MIUI 8 global dev ROM with officially unlocked bootloader, and there's a new update for it. Problem is, I rooted my phone already and I'm not sure if updating it will get rid of root. Also, twrp doesn't stick for some reason, so it's not very convenient to just flash SuperSU.zip after updating.
Install zcx recovery (search on MIUI forums )..that'll help you to receive ota updates (so you don't have to download and flash the entire ROM all the time ).if you follow the instructions on installing zcx recovery then that twrp will stick ..after that you can install SuperSU after updating ROM .
Hello, I updated to Q and can't get it rooted.
It bootlooped.
How can I root Android Q?
visit: h t t p s : / / twrp.me/site/update/2019/10/23/twrp-and-android-10.html
As, if now you cannot. For Android Q, it's still in research.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Never tried but: ClockworkMod Recovery – a past alternative to TWRP custom recovery.
h t t p s : / / en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClockworkMod#ClockworkMod_Recovery
Research over it & let me know if anything worked for you-!
I successfully roote Q with this ?

I would recommend you flashing custom firmware, like the one in my signature. Everything is working, including Security Folder.
Rooting S9 +

Which TWRP version you used and how did you install TWRP on a non-rooted phone? Do you not have to use Magisk to root the phone first?

I just used the 3.3.1.1 from the TWRP site.
Flash TWRP is to root, so I did it b4 root.
1. OEM unlock
2. Flash TWRP with odin then boot to TWRP, samsung will restore if u normal boot.
3. Backup EFS
4. Format data wipe all
5. Dm verity, search newest from dr ketan
6. Flash custom ROM.
Magisk usually comes with the custom ROM.

This isn't true I flashed Twrp 3.5.091 via Odin, S9+ exynos android 10, then flashed Magisk 21.4.
When I got phone it was android 10 June 2020 security update. It then updated again to 21/02/2021 ota.. I was able to flash recovery twrp and root/debloat. Only problem I did find is that I cannot flash lineage 18.1 or any custom roms.

hey ,
1.install magisk manager on your phone
2.download the firmware from samfirmware for your model of phone to pc
3.download 7zip with lz4
4. use 7zip lz4 to extract boot img from AP(firmware)
5. send the xtracted boot.img to phone sdcard and use magisk manager to patch said image .
6. send the patched img to pc and use 7zip to create archive as boot.tar file
7. one you install the firmware as normal via odin (disable auto reboot ) go back and disconnect/reconnect usb from phone so it appears as added in odin once more.
8. add the boot.tar file to AP in odin and flash the phone , reboot system and install magisk manager again , go into magisk and it will reboot again to fix the root.
there is a video somwhere on youtube showing you better than ive tried to here.
this is by far he best way as you can still take ota updates because stock recovery is still present .
regards
Hello
I am using MIUI global 11.0.8 stock rom. Recently just unlocked the bootloader and trying to figure out how to flash LineageOS in it.
Tried to followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/xiaomi-poco-f1-unlock-bootloader-custom-t3839405
But it seems like it is pretty old and not updated. Should i follow this thread or there is something updated? Also feels like i'm missing various things like disabling encryption(!), needs to be on old stock rom for proper installation, customized TWRP recovery and specific Xiaomi programs to do it properly. Could someone identify the missing info/issues i'm having trouble with? TIA.

FIRST OF ALL BACKUP YOUR DATA. Go to fastboot mode and flash latest twrp recovery. Boot to recovery and wipe cache, system and data. Since this is the first time you are installing a custom rom you should format data in twrp. After formatting data reboot to twrp then transfer latest Lineage OS flashable zip in you phone's storage and flash it. Then flash gapps if you want. Then magisk if you want root and DFE if you don't want encryption. That's it. Now reboot to system.
And remember google is your friend.

Actually there is too much information to handle at once that's why i got confused lol. Thanks for the infos :good:
I'll try to do according to your info.
I have an already rooted galaxy a105m with magisk installed, however twrp didn't exist for the a10 when I rooted and installed magisk so I still have the stock recovery. How do I go about installing twrp? Preferably I'd like to not have to wipe my phone but If I have to it's ok.
Edit: Welp I'm dumb, all I had to do was dl the twrp img off of the main root guide, download the twrp official app from playstore, and flash.

Hiii I wanted to ask if the twrp official apk worked on your Samsung a10s...As am speaking I have it installed for some time now but it didn't work,it just on loading mode forever.
If you're already rooted you can download the TWRP img I used here (literally copied from the root guide) and flash via the twrp app (or whatever flashing app you want, that's just the one I used). However, if you're not already rooted I definitely suggest you follow the whole guide so you don't make any mistakes/mess anything up here.
