Changelog:
06.01.2020:
-added fstab, usb init script from ashyx's recovery
Be aware of bootloader bug:
Once you entered recovery there is no way to reboot device in normal/download mode except from recovery itself. Which is problematic if it's not operating correctly.
Ideas how to get out of it in case you stuck in broken recovery:
1. Use adb (provided that it works)
Code:
adb reboot
2. Connect keyboard via OTG-adapted and press Alt + SysRq + O to power off device (saved my device).
3. Disconnect battery or let it die while burning bootloader splash into the screen.
4. Use USB Jig to enter download/EDL mode (might be ignored by bootloader just like key-combo).

i omitted some partitions from fstab (and missed other) because i thought that restoring modem/apnhlos from old binary may soft-brick device. But after some testing it appears that it's only checked in download mode. I will add those partitions back in next release.

No need, Edgars released it and is working on it now. I'll focus on kernel.

Do you need to use the forced encryption disabler?
I don't really care about the "full functionality" in TWRP, but I want to watch L1 widevine content with my rooted A605FN, and that isn't possible if the /data partition was formated.
But the (old?) "SM-A605-keymaster-fix-by-Not_Sure.zip" needs /data access, so I guess the forced encryption disabler is needed for that fix?
And what is the difference between the "fixed full-disk encryption (msm keystore implementation)" in this TWRP Mod and the (old?) "SM-A605-keymaster-fix-by-Not_Sure.zip"? Is there even any?

Last time i tried TWRP and root and there is a bug in lock screen system. is this version have that problem too?

---

It doesn't work not because /data was formatted, but because boot partition was changed which breaks chain of trust.
"fixed full-disk encryption (msm keystore implementation)" means that TWRP can decrypt /data but only when it was encrypted with "SM-A605-keymaster-fix-by-Not_Sure.zip" previously applied. If you have non-rooted stock ROM you still have to format /data first.

It's not TWRP that breaks lock-screen. This should fix it.
