Any possible way to install TWRP on OOS 11 (OP8P)? - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Title says it all, I was trying to install TWRP on OOS 11 but it bricked my device , I tried the same way on OOS 10 and it worked perfectly , any idea if it's possible to install TWRP while having OOS 11 (for OP8P)?

TWRP is not available for A11.

No it isn't, check their thread for updates.
You have another thread in Q+A, please get this one closed.

Is there any way to flash OOS 11 ROM from TWRP? I don't know if the ROM would still fail using this method. Anyone want to chime in?

There's a thread dedicated to TWRP, all your answers are there.
In short the answer is - not yet.

Good day everyone!
Advertising recovery distributions that come without source code should not be done on XDA. As these "off the grid" TWRP iterations are closed, we cannot verify if they can be trusted. We strongly advise to stick with proper distributions on our platform in the interest of your own safety/privacy. Doing research before buying a device can prevent a lot of frustration.
And there's no need to attack each other over something like this. I'm sure we all have more pressing matters to worry about right now. Which in hindsight may also be a catalyst for reacting a bit harsher than usual. Understandable. But let's try to get along anyway ^_^
Stay safe!

Always has been here. Nothing new. Post's get deleted all the time for language, slander, off topic, sharing software that is closed source and warez. Not sure why you are surprised.

Really???
FYI, if it's "developed" by someone on XDA developers, then it's fine (for the most part)
But if it's software that is not developed and freely shared here, like warez eg: apks for apps you haven't paid for or can only be obtained from a said location.
Or like in this case a developers work who is not from XDA and we do not have permission to share then no, you can't share it here or indeed anywhere legally unless you have permission to.
In regards to the TWRP in question I believe they've been approached to collaborate and have plainly said no, so it can't be shared here..
XDA have a responsibility to adhere to these decisions..
I get it's frustrating and we all know what goes on behind the curtain, no one here's thick, but just play the game.
More to the point, I thought the guys were making headway on our TWRP anyway..
Couple that with the fact that you can do pretty much anything without TWRP and it's a non starter really arguing about it anyway

[DEV][APP] Acer update decrypter

I made a tool so we can decrypt the acer updates easier.
Also added decryption key change if acer decides to change the key.

well done!
have you tested it?
I have KIS 2011
Thor...sorry...I didn't mean that. I want to try it badly...it is just my stupid KIS...since I am using the company laptop so I can't take the risk...I will try it on another computer. Sorry.
PS: How to use it?

select the encrypted zip update by pressing input file and hit start
where do I get the encrypted zip update? I saw the new update 1.144.07 yet I couldn't find it anywhere to download? Once I find it and get it decrypted, what would i do next?
you have no use for it if you dont know whats it for....
its for advanced users... not noobs
Thank you for your extreme support. If that is the case please change the title of ur topic to DEV Only. I thought the point is to help everyone. Cheers

thanks for nothing.
How 'bout telling him what it does, instead of just putting him down and calling him a noob?
@lpachuong, there's nothing we can do with it -yet-, since we have no way to re-encrypt them. It's possible we could do something like build a system.img and flash it with dd, though for now it's only good for poking around in the images.

Too many users ask lots of questions that could be avoided by reading the posts / some other topics. I can totally understand him.
Of course it's no problem to answer 1 or 2 questions - but there are many questions and lots of them do repeat.
for command line one can use this xor 0.2 (aluigi.altervista.org/mytoolz.htm).
usage:
xor.ex input output 0x12

It looked to me like he had read it, and didn't understand it, possibly to a language barrior.
Also, saying that it's not useful to him (in a polite way) is a lot better than saying that he's a noob and has no business working with it, and would have taken just as long to type. There's a point where he's just being rude to be rude. :|

Sorry, it's not. This info is available right here in this forum. All you have to do is look.
There is a difference between a noob and a newb. Right now all I see is a newb asking for information that can be freely found if one spends some time looking for it.
If you notice, the OP has helped quite a few people with legitimate questions and/or concerns.
Thank you for your understanding. But I should apologize for causing the troubles. I didn't know what the purpose of decrypting the zip file was, when there is no further step after that.
I guess I will be just more patient and wait until we can get access to the recovery mode. I just can't stand it when Acer has no update in Australia. I messed with dd the system and flex img before as well. Hopefully during this time, OP or someone else will come up with something that can re-encrypt it. I saw the chinese update.zip used signapk to pack the package but I failed to do so.
I don't mind being called noob =) People usually call me nerd so it sounds good to be called noob sometimes =D
peace.
dude you want to know how you're supposed to provide information and provide support?
read one of my guides below.
anyways dont apologize dude, just dont mind some of these cranky guys.
If I decide to keep my Iconia, I'll consolidate all that information and make a guide somewhere.

[Idea] bring Treble to OOS via Magisk?

Would it be possible to redirect the vendor folder to the empty partition (after being made into a vendor partition)? That way the OOS could load the new location instead. My only concern if it's possible, would it break safetynet. I'd try to program it but lack of knowledge and time to gain the knowledge is limiting me right now
If someone does, what we gonna do with that?
cant be done
even if it done it'll not make any difference as it's not officially provided... we just need to wait until android P comes to see if the unofficial one makes any difference or not...

I'd like to suggest you to read this faq
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/README.MD
And so you will find not only the answer to "why it cant be done", but so on many other obvious things.
who cares? Project treble is not needed in general. OEMs just need to give out source information not implement something to hide more secrets.
Future one plus devices would benefit from treble, the 5/5T already have a vast amount of ROMs available.

So the last thread was killed b/c it "served no purpose". I guess motivating you guys to build something " serves no purpose". So who's gonna stop being lazy and build it? You guys got twrp, that guy can build ofox too. Its not that hard. Just swapping out twrp sources for ofox sources.
Yes sure if its just that easy try yourself
just swap the source
I get why you want that recovery.
Its a good idea to get the ones that wants that so developers could see. But saying easy to something that you don't understand isn't right.

Oh yea cause being aggressive calling ppl lazy will motivate people.
1 - Make a port is HARD and few actually know how to do it.
2 - Who can already IS working on it, if it's not ready it's cause it's not easy.
3 - You can't persuade people to donate a device or even money as only us know our self and our own budget at home.
4 - If you are that unhappy, don't rely on other's, google and try to learn your self, if you make it you don't even need to share if you hate ppl for not help the cause.
5 - If a moderator closed your thread it clearly violate EULA of XDA so re post is isn't a good idea.
I my self tried to port the Raphael OrangeFox, but wasn't successful. It's hard and beyond my current knowledge (even though i'm studying to be able to port some day). Also the dev is kind of a jerk on the Telegram group so i don't want to donate for that reason.
AND last but not least, there IS a orange fox recovery on testing.. search for

[REQUEST] custom ROMs

Since we now have a working "TWRP", it would be great to have a real Custom ROM. Not to degrade xXx and the other Magisk "ROMs" (using xXx now), but TWRP flash-able ROMs would be great.

You are risking lots with the Chinese version. Not being able to see source , you could be dealing with malware etc

I scanned the package with viruse and malware software.
Are there any limitations or dangers with that version we should know about? I'd risk it just for the ability to make a solid backup right now.
Can anyone point me in the right direction without breaking XDA policy??

If itnwas safe then why haven't the main devs pick it up
Oh cuz they can't see source. You have no idea what could be loaded in there. Whether it works or not. The point is there COULD be malware or spyware or whatever loaded and you would have no idea

Let me ask you a question. How do you know that normal open-source TWRP doesn't have malware in it?
The reason why 'main devs' as you call them won't accept it, is because of licensing and money. And also embarrassment because they can't figure out how to get a version booting.
The wonderful thing is we can all do what we wish to do. you can use ADB and make your life infinitely harder, and I'll keep using TWRP and accomplish things in a fraction of the time.

There you go again. You're not a developer ... And why do you care if somebody uses something that's making their life easier?
In case you can't tell the 7t pro still doesn't have a working TWRP. 8 whole months later. There's a working TWRP for OnePlus 8 pro right now. why do you care if someone is using it? How is using a Chinese TWRP going to hurt development? It's not. I'm going to share it with each and every person that asks for i. Because we deserve to use something beyond crappy ADB.
Chinese recovery works just fine. I was running custom TWRP recovery by this Chinese locked LR. Team two years ago on my Xiaomi Mi Pad, and nothing wrong happened. You all could wait year or more for official relase as development is going very slow, or enjoy it now.

REALME X2 PRO Android 10 Bootloader Unlocked and Root with working Fingerprint C 29

so i was fiddeling around with custom roms for a while and Although they are Stable enough and have basic functionality but Not a good working camera (for video) made me come to Realme OS again.
so first i decided to give Android 9 a go and followed arthajudeenuk's guide (although he said in his guide to skip installing vbmeta in fastboot but i installed it anyways just to be on safeside)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2-pro/how-to/downgrade-android-10-to-android-9-t4095487
rooted it with magisk 20.3 but android 9 was err... meh. so thought to give Android 10 another go
so i downloaded Ozip C.29 full rom from official realme site and Flashed it with
TWRP 3.4.0
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...covery-unofficial-twrp-realme-x2-pro-t3997879
followed by VBMETA.img
and than install Magisk 20.3 and after that Reboot recovery
and Do Factory reset
Reboot....complete setup
and Voila you Have Bootloader Unlocked Rooted Phone with Finger Print Working
Forgive my English......not good at it...never was....
Thank you for sharing your experience . your English is fine , don't worry about it
question though , is the magisk hide functionality working as intended for things like netflix ?

Sir, Mam.
I didn't touch or modified anything that you posted. I've removed a post of another member who's certainly aware. Nothing to worry about for you.
I apologise for your trouble and hope that you get successful support soon. However, if this kind of support involves warez it will go! Sorry for that.
And personally I regret to be able to support; I would if I could but besides a Motorola Milestone 2 once, all of our devices have been and are Samsungs.
