Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or TWRP3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Let’s start with the installation process
First you need to unlock your bootloader. You can do so by enabling developer settings first, enable oem unlocking, then shut down your phone, hold volume up and down at the same time and while holding them plugin your charger. Your phone now should show a green screen with instructions to unlock the bootloader. Just follow them and after the unlocking your data should get wiped. After that your device will boot up and land in setup screen. Do not setup anything, just skip as much as possible, because your phone will get wiped again. Enable developer settings and make sure oem unlocking is greyed out and enabled. (If it does not show up, connect to a network first!)
Now you need to overwrite vbmeta partition, so you can flash third party partitions. Download vbmeta_disabled.tar then go into download mode on your device. Put vbmeta_disabled.tar to userdata in Odin, click start. This should finish pretty quickly, so pay attention when your device reboots, because you need to boot into recovery (Hold power and volume up after the screen turns black). When booted into recovery, wipe your data and reboot normally into system. Now you can setup your phone as usual and make sure oem unlocking is still greyed out and enabled!
Time to flash recovery. Download (link is at the end of this post). . In Odin put the tar file in AP and simply hit start. Congrats you now have TWRP installed!

Just got it to boot and the touchscreen is unresponsive. Quite a bummer since twrp is the only way to root as far as I've concluded :crying:

I followed your steps to no avail. First try, twrp didn't even boot up completely as it was stuck in the twrp logo screen. My second attempt was wiping data first using the stock recovery, then flashing twrp. Twrp booted up and I was happy as heck, but the touchscreen was unresponsive. I've completely set up my phone again after giving up. I wouldn't mind losing all my data again just to gain root, but I don't want to lose it for nothing
Now it just doesn't load further than the logo! !(

Thanks for fixing the issues! Bummer that I can't root. It's just stuck on bootloop with the Samsung splash image.
You must as sg7 firmware
Then flash twrp recovery
Open magisk manager and patch this recovery.img
And reboot to twrp instal image seltect magisk patched and flash it at boot
Wipe all and reboot
Now you have twrp and rooted
For patching recovery with magisk use this custom source

Thanks, man! This finally worked. Any way I can donate to you or something like buy you a beer or what
Is anything working? Decryption? Back-up? Restore?
I have saw the a70 page and it included many custom roms. Is it easy to port it over to the a80? I really want lineage os on my phone. Thanks
(I have an SM-A8050)
@blackbuga ; how about detail explaining about sg7 firmware how can we get it? what about give us step by step way of unlocking until flash twrp within provided link donwload files we needed, & last could u gv us stock recovery img for emergency used while we faced some trouble like bootloop or something else we dont expected. so we dont needed to flash whole firmware stock & make us felt safety & shortcut the time of we got trouble. thx for great works
Hello blackbuga,
I recently installed your unofficial TWRP-build for the A80.
I want to let you know that it is impossible to flash ROMs successfully. I am a TouchWiz developer since 2016 and I wanted to continue with OneUI.
So, I was porting the A71 firmware, but it didn't let me install the zip. It ended with the Error 7.
Here's a part of the log:
" -- Setting ROM Permissions
ApplyParsedPerms: removexattr of /system/system/usr/srec/en-US/wordlist.syms to 0 failed: Operation not supported on transport endpoint
ApplyParsedPerms: removexattr of /system/system/usr/srec/en-US/wordlist.syms to 0 failed: Operation not supported on transport endpoint
script aborted: set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7 "
It seems like it's a problem of the recovery. I hope to get an answer from you.
Greetings
Soon i realase new build recovery
Im waiting samsung realase new source s4 or u4

Flash Galaxy A20e TWRP.tar via Odin or heimdall
Reboot into TWRP AS SOON AS THE FLASHING PROCESS IS DONE because otherwise TWRP will get replaced with the stock Android recovery
If you want to flash a GSI, skip to step 7
Factory reset in TWRP and reboot to stock
Wipe everything in TWRP excluding SD Card / USB OTG
Put a GSI image file onto an SD Card, alongside GSI_Fix_boot.zip and Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip
Flash the GSI image, flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip, flash GSI_Fix_boot.zip, wipe cache and reboot.

Hey thanks for this, I´ve got a few questions about the process that might also help others.
Do you recommend this method of rooting still over the new method using Magisk?
Do we still need to wipe everything in TWRP after first boot? And what specifically steps should we take to wipe?
Can you recommend any specific GSI images that are known to boot on the A20e (A202F) because so far I've tried LineageOS 17.1 / AOSP system -quack-arm64-ab-gapps.img and system -quack-arm64-ab-vanilla.img / Crdroid and nothing gets past the loading icon.
Do we still need to flash Disable_Verity_ForceEncrypt and GSI_Fix_boot.zip if not installing a GSI ?
a few notes
for anyone else. It helps if you boot into the rom and install magisk manager via APK (recent version is fine) before installing it via TWRP. After I did that rooting worked properly.
Lost ADB for some reason though, might be unrelated.
I also think that the a20e (SM-a202f) is an A device and not an A/B partition device at least according to treble check app.
ADB and USB connection / USB OTG does not work

1. This method does use Magisk
The tar file contains boot.img patched with Magisk
It also contains recovery.img and vbmeta.img
2. The boot.img is from Android 10 firmware so you need to upgrade to Q first.
3 there is a step missing in the instructions
It should say
6. Reboot the A20e into TWRP and mount everything you can.
Click Wipe then Format Data (not just wipe) - don't restart
Flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt
Reboot to recovery and wipe both caches
Reboot system .

You can then backup boot, data and system for stock.

Kinda... i booted the twrp-recovery bootimage by using
fastboot boot twrp.img
that brought me back to twrp and restored touchscreen-control. In twrp i formatted the device and completely wiped all partitions, so i would have a clean install. After all that was done i returned to bootloader and used the fastboot-image to clean-flash everything. I wanted to do this anyways, so no biggy.
It's still okay to use it, but installing it on the device as permanent recovery doesn't work as long as the touchscreen doesn't work at all.. but when this is fixed, go for it.
already did all of it...

to just run this twrp, u can boot your device to bootloader, open terminal or powershell, and use command
fastboot boot twrp*.img
this will boot your twrp recovery,
as mentioned by @SanHelios there seems to be a small bug when u r flashing it permanently as recovery,
and the dev already got a fix for the same, he will mostly update the links tomorrow, i tested and it was working,
this is the file he provided, link, @SanHelios test this mate
download the above file,
use fastboot boot twrp*.img, and go to advance, and click on flash current twrp,
it will patch your boot.img file and flash the patched boot.img with twrp recovery
use volume up and power button combo to boot into twrp

TWRP is a well-rounded recovery for android-devices. There's a lot it can do, but basicly, you use it to flash/install software or images on your device. If there is a custom rom you wanna use, you flash it via TWRP, since the stock roms-recoveries only flash/install their associated roms. Apart from that, you can wipe or format your device, so it will be "clean" if you want to make a fresh installation.
In the past it was simple to install it, because devices were mostly A-only devices with a dedicated "recovery"-partition. To install it, the most common way was
- Boot into Fastboot mode, connect android via USB
- open computer CLI/Shell-window
- "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" - Enter
The Mi Mix 4 is an A/B-Device, which means that the vital partitions are doubled and there's no "recovery"-partition anymore, since all recovery-functions are parked in a different partition. TWRP offers the ability to install itsself according to the A/B-Partitions-scheme and therefore becoming the new System-Recovery. Here the installation-steps are different.
- Boot into Fastboot mode, connect android via USB
- open computer CLI/shell-Windows
- "fastboot boot twrp.img" - Enter <- Starts the system using the image
- Touch Advanced
- Touch "Flash Current TWRP"
If a custom rom ever becomes available, there's certain routine you want to do...
backup vital information and files
format device
wipe all partitions
flash Firmware required
flash rom
flash Google Apps i.e. Open Gapps Project or NikGapps if available and desired
wipe dalvik-cache/cache/data

Technically its possible...but you should do it after roms released based on rui2 firmware. If not , you will endup with broken OS. For now dont flash custom roms with this recovery.

Magisk-92546e8a(23016) from CANARY all Ok!
Sorry for my English. And thank you very much for your work. I have the mobile with the latest version of rui2 and with root done following this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...fix-rui-2-0-android-11-global-indian.4371041/ When I went to install twrp, the mobile only started in twrp , and I had to reinstall everything. I used realme flashtool and refollowed the guide to get me back up and running properly. What could have happened?

Hi
was the same for me, had to reinstall everything, only started in TWRP. Would like to install the recovery but I don't feel like this error anymore.
Thanks. It's working.
Doesnt work for me, i cant boot to realme ui after flashing the vbmeta, i got stuck on recovery. (f.14)
This recovery is broken for me, it gives me no space left on sdcard even after a full data reformat, ozip extraction stops after 500mb.
It's just not working as it should 3.4 works best

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

I followed this guide and many others in the past 48 hours, with no success. Every time I flash TWRP and the VBMETA, I get stuck in TWRP bootloop.
I started unblocking the bootloader, rolling back to RUI1 - Android 9 and using the Deep-Test App.
After the roll back, I got the phone unblocked right, but then first soft-brick, with only bootloader available and no way to flash a working ROM. After some searches, I've finally managed to unbrick, using OPPO flash tool, and installing stock rom RMX1931_11_F.14_2021102817443142.
This gives me a working phone, RUI.2 - Android 11. Standard recovery.
I tried to flash TWRP and got the phone soft bricked again, in TWRP recovery bootloop.
I'd like to install TWRP and from there going to OrangeFox and finally install Lineage 19.1...
How can i first have a working TWRP recovery??? If you can support also following steps, would be amazing. Thank you!!!
I went few step further... but still I am not able to install a working custom recovery for my realme X2 pro.
I have now also rooted my device with magisk.
I just need a custom recovery to perform 2 actions:
- make a NANDroid backup;
- install a custom ROM.
Any advice? Thank you for your time!
Installed. Working like a charm with lineage 19.1. Only problem: can't access files in storage. Digging into the matter, it seems to be an issue with android 12's new encryption method, which can't be overriden by this version of the recovery. There's a brand new TWRP 3.7.0_9.0 in the official TWRP website which boasts to overcome this problem but, whenever I try to install it (with or without the vbmeta.img provided for version 3.6.0_11), the recovery won't start. Guess a new vbmeta.img is needed as everything goes ok reinstalling TWRP 3.6.0_11 and its corresponding vbmeta. Tried to extract and install vbmeta.img from the lineage zip file without success. Shall we have to patch vbmeta.img? How can we do that? Through Magisk? I've come across some "vbmeta patcher" apk... Am I pointing the right way?
can any one help me to unlock bootloader in realme x2 pro . i am on RUI 10 . i installed in depth tool it said seccesful but no bootloader just keep rebooting and showing fast boot for a moment .. help please i search every where for fix but no way to yet
I'm using the CN variant device, which I understand does not yet have confirmed support, nonetheless sharing the error I'm encountering in case it's a simple or obvious fix I'm missing.
Having followed all above steps, I'm able to flash and get into TWRP recovery, but decryption always failed (even after a dozen tries) with the following:
"Attempting to decrypt FBE for user 0...
Failed to decrypt user 0"
Much obliged for any insight on this. I'm attempting to get back on OF after successfully installing Lineage 19.1, which broke the OF recovery, and since OF needs to be installed as a ZIP, I need to get some version of TWRP working as an intermediary. Specifically this is because I didn't install GAPPS along with Lineage 19.1 (I misread the opening post, which seemed to imply that GAPPS was included in that particular ROM). So alternatively, if there's another way to get GAPPS onto the device without recovery (sideload won't work since I can't decrypt...) then that would be helpful too.
Thanks in advance for any insight on this!
TWRP FOR THE A52 5G! (With issues)
Help needed!
Are you someone that has ported TWRP before without any issues?
Or are you someone that knows how to fix any problem that has been listed in the 'Additional Notes' section?
PM me. We can work together to fix the issue(s)
Note

* Your warranty is now void.

* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

Additional Notes
Code:
THIS RECOVERY IS NOT FULLY TESTED!
There are atleast these issues:
1. MTP Does NOT work. (Not with computer or with OTG)
2. NO access to your SD cards
3. Incorrect resolution (TWRP is 1080x1920, phone is 1080x2400)
4. Temperature sensor doesn't work.
THERE MIGHT BE MORE ISSUES I DO NOT KNOW OF! FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK.
How to install?
First of all you need an unlocked BL. This is extremely easy to do and there are a lot of guide online.
Download recovery.tar (TWRP) from this post.
Select the AP slot in Odin
Disable auto reboot in Odin
Flash

No problem.
Hi,
Firstly, thanks for doing this!
Secondly, I've been trying to flash a zip (BluetoothLibraryPatcher) but I cannot find a way to get TWRP to read a zip file. Things I've tried:
From the device itself: The data partition is encrypted. twrp decrypt (in the TWRP terminal) says "No crypto support was compiled into this build".
From ADB Sideload: It gets stuck on "Starting ADB sideload feature..." for 5 minutes, then fails.
From MTP/USB OTG: As you say in your post, neither MTP from PC nor from a USB flash drive works.
Would you have any idea of how I can get TWRP to read a zip file to install?
Thanks!

Hey, you can use commands by just being on the home screen of TWRP. ADB push <file location and name> /sdcard

Btw, afaik the encryption problem isn't something I can remove.
This is fantastic to see! Nice work.
Have you tried any custom ROMs with this? Do any of the current custom ROMs (like Lineage OS) support A52 5G, or are we still a far way away from that?

Hey. I've not started a custom ROM yet. I've been busy with school mostly. I will probably start developing Lineage OS as the first custom rom.

Yep thats me. I can't upload a kernel file on github as its 25mb+ So the device tree won't be complete without it. I'll change the post.

I recommend using Git LFS for that, more info about it here: https://git-lfs.github.com/
I created a device tree myself long time ago as well, was just missing the kernel
I may sell my U1 for the Dual Sim model so I can root. I need parts of this lol
Any progress?
I just can't wait for LineageOS
@Things405 I have GitHub pro if you want someone to host the device tree on there... I'm on https://github.com/SImPilotAdamT/
Also by A52 5G do you mean the A526B?
Also for some reason I can't unlock the bootloader in my device... I have the A526B international model. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unable-to-unlock-the-bootloader-a52-5g-sm-a526b.4476861/
TWRP 3.7.0 is out with the support for decryption on Android 12 to be able to backup firmware. Pls update, thx
I'm sorry to have left you guys hanging! I've been too busy with personal stuff but I will get back on this as soon as possible.
flashed in A526BXXU1AUAH, when press buttons for recovery, it freeze on boot logo
does this also work for the a52s 5g version?
