[ZE620KL/Android 9][TREBLE] COMPLETE GUIDE: Unlocking, Rooting & Flash GSI + Fixes

[ZE620KL/Android 9][TREBLE] COMPLETE GUIDE: Unlocking, Rooting & Flash GSI + Fixes
Unlocking bootloader to Flashing GSI (Asus Zenfone 5 [ZE620KL] / Android 9.0)
Code:
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
About :
The last guide could leads to soft brick, as the instructions were not clear nor the files not supported for Android 9.0.
Here is a complete guide with TWRP 3.3.0 for Android 9.0, clear instructions and multiple fixes for GSI.
It has been tested on stock version v16.0615.1903.92.​
Requirements :
- A stock version V16.0610.XXXX.XX or higher
- A phone on Android 9.0 (not 8.0!)
- A fully working USB cable
- Latest ADB / Fastboot drivers
- Bootloader unlocker (download latest from Asus website or from here)
- TWRP 3.3.0 image
- Android9EncryptionDisablerZE620KL.zip
- Magisk v19.3​
Instructions :
Unlocking Bootloader
1. Backup all your important data.
2. Install the bootloader unlocker APK, and follow the steps. You will loss your warranty here, and it will factory reset your data
3. If there is any issue here, go into your stock recovery (volume down + power button) and factory reset.​
Installing TWRP
4. Shutdown your device & boot in fastboot mode using volume up + power button.
5. Check that the connection between your device and your computer by typing this in your command line :
Code:
fastboot devices
6. Flash TWRP recovery using :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <twrp_name>.img
7. Now reboot in recovery mode using :
Code:
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
8. In TWRP, select Wipe > Format Data > enter "yes" and confirm
9. Return to the main menu, select Reboot > Recovery
10. Do 8. & 9. and again
11. Using TWRP or ADB, install Android9EncryptionDisablerZE620KL.zip (on TWRP, go into Install > find Android9EncryptionDisablerZE620KL.zip > Install zip)
If everything has gone successfully, you now have a custom recovery.
As for some GSIs, a patched boot partition may cause bootloop, you should try installing Magisk after installing the GSI. If you want to keep your stock ROM, go directly to "Magisk Installation" section.​Installing a GSI
This step may vary depending on the different GSIs distribution. I assume you install Havoc OS v2.7 GSI which actually works on this device.
1. Backup all your important data using TWRP backup.
2. Select the arm64-aonly GSI image you want, and move it on your external SD.
3. Wipe Data, Dalvik, and Cache.
4. Go back in the main menu of TWRP, and reboot to recovery.
5. Remove Magisk if it was previously installed, by using its uninstaller script.
6. Flash the GSI to system partition.
7. Boot and perform a factory reset.​
Installing Magisk
1. Add the Magisk zip archive to your external storage.
2. Boot into TWRP recovery, and install the zip.
3. Enjoy!​
Bug fixes:
Insufficient storage in the system partition to flash GApps : Download your OpenGApps archive on your external SD, and use MagicGApps 2018.9.23 to install GApps.
Auto-Brightness doesn't work: Download framework-res__auto_generated_rro.apk from here.
Using a root explorer or command-line, push the APK to /vendor/overlay.
Then run the following command in a rooted terminal or ADB shell:
Code:
chcon u:object_r:vendor_overlay_file:s0 /vendor/overlay;chcon u:object_r:vendor_overlay_file:s0 /vendor/overlay/framework-res__auto_generated_rro.apk
My camera doesn't work well (green tint on face camera) and/or the app doesn't boot: If Asus Camera doesn't launch on your GSI, you should probably edit your /system/build.prob file.
You need to edit ro.product.model, ro.product.brand, ro.product.name, ro.product.device, ro.product.manufacturer & ro.build.product properties to be:
Code:
ro.product.model=ASUS_X00QD
ro.product.brand=asus
ro.product.name=WW_Phone
ro.product.device=ASUS_X00QD
ro.product.manufacturer=asus
ro.build.product=ZE620KL
You can instead use Google Camera mod (port from Arnova8G2 & modded by 5Z community, thanks to them!), which works well (edit: there is a bug on HavocOS, we can't access settings).​Bonus:
- You can reinstall DTS Headphone:X here.
- For booting your kernel in Permissive mode, check here

Many thanks to all of the Zenfone 5 community (particularly Emincan, Pandolfi and Lmajkej),
Phhusson & Erfan for their works on GSI, and Shakalaca for its work on TWRP 3.3.0!​

On HavocOS v2.8 GSI (13-08-2019):
It works:
- Almost anything
- Adaptive Brightness (after manual fix)
- Notch overlay
- DTS Headphone X (after manual installation)
- NFC
- Face unlock
- Stock camera (after manual fix)
- Magisk
- SDcard access
It doesn't works:
- VoLTE / VoWifi
- Google Camera settings
- External speaker amplifier (NXP amp)
- APT-X / APT-X HD bluetooth
- Low microphone in normal use
- No microphone in calls (only headphone microphone works)

GCam settings
But my google camera keep crashing when I want to go into camera settings

Hi thanks for this tutorial, this is my first time rooting my phone. I'm encountering a problem with my sd card after installing havoc os, everytime i try to move, save or any write functionality i do to my sd card, it always says the android version isn't compatible. I could still see my files from my sd, but everytime it asks permission it always say this

Same issue here. I will update the thread when I will find a more working GCam port (perhaps, this GCam port works well on ZenUI)

It's a known issue, the GSI maintainer @vince31fr is working on it. I don't have it, but I can advice you to use Solid File Manager, which works like a charm on my device.

"- No microphone in calls (only headphone microphone works)"
Funny... I'm on stock latest firmware and I have this issue, so I thought I try something new, and this has that issue. It can't be a coincidence. Something is ****ed up with this device.

Wonder if this will work for the Zenfone 5 Lite (or 5Q)? I wanna root my 5Q so bad haha

Thanks for the great instructions! Steps 1 through 11 worked perfectly for me, then I installed LineageOS (lineage-17.0-20191231-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avN.img) and it works properly. Then when I go back to TWRP and install Magisk v20.1 it reboots into an endless Lineage bootup logo animation (not boot loop). I can get an adb shell, but now also the external SD card has become invisible. Any suggestions?
UPDATE: I switched over to the patched Magisk version from PHH (https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/general/ze620kl-add-support-to-evey-android-9-t3966918) and everything works perfectly now!

Hi!! I thanks for these instructions you gave. I know this post is a bit older. But is the only one I think could help me.
I got an ZE620KL and I'm trying to root this device. I have some experience in unlocking bootloader and rooting devices. But this one... Is giving me a lot of work. Researching in a lot of forums and websites I tried a lot of things with no success. In theory, is just install the official apk provided by ASUS and run the application. But the app doesn't work for a long time as I researched (error accusing network problem). I tried unlock via fastboot commands but I always got stucked by "remote: permission denied" even with latest drivers and ADB Fastboot installed. And yes... I let my device with no one security feature enabled and didn't worked. I tried everything even after wiped data / cache and factory reset and no progress.
In my researches, I realized something about 'oem unlock'. It appears to be the key to solve this. And I guess the tool to work with this is the damn unlock tool from ASUS which don't work! Also, I've heard about workaround with Magisk by flashing a custom recovery to achieve the root. Magisk no longer supports zip files to flash. Only '.img' and '.tar' files. I'd like to find some light here... I don't know what to do. I appreciate any help!

Hello do I need to flash Android9EncryptionDisablerZE620KL.zip if Im gonna flash a non-GSI custom ROM? Or its only for GSI Treble ROM?

Reporting Bugs
DO NOT Report bugs if you're running a custom kernel or you installed Xposed
Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

-- bit more friendly stock -> lineage instructions --
1. Unlock the bootloader
- Connect to WiFi network
- Enable OEM Unlock in developer options
- Turn off the tablet
- Boot to download mode manually by plugging in USB and holding all the buttons for few seconds
- Follow instructions on the screen
2. Connect to WiFi network and make sure OEM Unlock in developer options is still checked
3. Flash custom VBMeta image ( https://dl.twrp.me/gts4lvwifi/vbmeta.tar.html ) in Odin ( use AP slot )
4. After flashing VBMeta, boot to stock. It'll likely ask you to wipe data, if so do that
5. Connect to WiFi network and make sure OEM Unlock in developer options is still checked
6. Now you can flash TWRP ( https://dl.twrp.me/gts4lvwifi ) in Odin ( use AP slot once again ), for convenience you can hold volume up while flashing it so that you boot to recovery right after it's flashed
7. Install Lineage × whatever else you need ( gapps, addon-su, ... )
8. Format data
9. Reboot ( make sure to not install TWRP app when TWRP asks you to )
---
Also Odin download for those who can't find it on their own https://build.nethunter.com/samsung-tools/Odin_3.13.1.zip

Damn @LuK1337 you're all over this thing. About to install (well, at least try to) TWRP using terminal, then I'll do this.
Perfect timing, too. I just did the whole 'prepare for imminent disaster' thing so I could do some extreme debloating/deleting of stuff I don't want on my tablet.
I'll report my experience here.

Wow! Great work!

Install twrp with odin..
1st recovery
2nd vbmeta
Vbmeta's install failed a few times for me, just reboot back to bootloader if you get stuck on getting connection, then try vbmeta again.
That also depends on what firmware your on, June firmware was a easy on installing recovery and using key combo go to recovery, just worked.
Latest update, Juli needs vbmeta to be flashed, otherwise you (might} get an error about non compatible vbmeta installed atm you use the key combos to boot to recovery from bootloader.

4. make sure to connect to wifi on stock and that oem unlocking is selected
5. flash recovery, keep holding vol up while flashing
7. sideload lineage × gapps
8. wipe data
10. reboot
11. profit?

Can I flash magisk? Or the provided su for lineage?

I wiped, flashed rom, flashed gaps. it never boots. I see the lineage boot image, but it never completely boots. Any ideas?

Not sure how I got so messed up, but here I am. Not able to power off. PC knows something is hooked up, but 'adb devices' not showing anything. Device Manager shows yellow triangle for Android Phone>Android ADB Interface.
Looking for info on the internets, but no luck yet. Anyways, I'll check back here in a couple hours.
EDIT: More info.
Had TWRP installed.
Currently no key combos working, just goes to Samsung splash screen, then back to screenshot.

Welp. Guess I'm buying this thing tomorrow.

Nope. Same thing. I get the lineage animation for a few minutes, then it just reboots. I let this happen a few times. Arm 64 gapps, correct??

Okay but does it run Crysis?

I upgraded from 18.1 to 19.1. I just used the 18.1 recovery instead of flashing the 19.1 recovery. It worked fine.
Update: Apparently I spoke too soon. After turning the phone off and on again, it won't boot

Yeah, thx for reporting this, apparently i've just uploaded a build with privapp permissions broken
for now you can use some old build i made https://abhiramshibu.tuxforums.com/~saalim/giovanni/daisy/lineage-19.1-20220319-UNOFFICIAL-daisy.zip
i should upload a new one as soon as possible (maybe tomorrow/today)

I poked at it some more. I seemingly cannot start the Lineage recovery anymore? It just ... boots into Lineage after a delay, but Lineage can't boot. I dunno if this is related to privapp or not
All of these do the same thing:
* Hold up when booting
* Hold down when booting then fastboot reboot recovery
* Hold down when booting then fastboot boot lineage-recovery.img
This isn't my daily driver so I'll get creative to try and restore it, or just blow it away
My recovery process:
* Boot into TWRP
* Flash Lineage 18.1
* Boot into (Lineage 18.1) recovery
* Install Lineage 19.1
* Boot into (Lineage 19.1) recovery
* Flash Gapps and Magisk
* Boot into system

Avoid using the 'fastboot boot' command, somehow it doesn't works
instead flash it directly into the boot partition 'fastboot flash boot lineage-recovery.img' and try to boot into the recovery

That didn't work for me even the first time - which is why I used the Lineage 18.1 recovery to flash the 19.1 zip.

It should work, but sometimes it takes a couple of tries with reboots in between. I did not find a pattern yet, but in general flashing boot and doing the power vol+ combo should be fine. Maybe it's a timing thing, not sure. Try to switch which button you press first maybe, or try to press them at the exact same time. A bit weird, yeah
UPDATE: pressing the + button just a bit earlier seems to be doing the trick for me!

just done a test build for fixing the privapp permission issues (random bootloops caused by some normal reboots), seems fine here but i don't really trust my self
https://abhiramshibu.tuxforums.com/~saalim/giovanni/daisy/lineage-19.1-20220329-UNOFFICIAL-daisy.zip
report if something will be wrong with it
edit: Apparently it's fine so
New update released (20220329) (Checkout op for download link)
- Sync with latest lineageos changes
- Fix random bootloopos while rebooting

I dunno how we're supposed to do updates for this ROM?
I did this:
* boot to recovery
* adb sideload lineage.zip
* reboot to recovery (changes slot)
* adb sideload gapps.zip (gotta do this each time?)
* adb sideload Magisk.apk (gotta do this each time?)
* reboot to system
I did a few reboots and power off/on cycles and it didn't fail to boot. So I guess the privapp thing was fixed

Yep, that's the right way to update the rom

I have an old CrDroid rom on the phone
It is time to upgrade to a new and better 18.1 or 19.1 (the more stable is?).
I read the thread, but now I need to know and follow the correct procedure to avoid errors. I use Fdroid and Adway as adblock. Is Magisk necessary? Should the switch between the two A / B partitions always be done during installation or for updates?
Thanks to who will answer

- Just follow the instructions, everything is written here
- Should be stable enough for daily driving it, sadly i don't use daisy anymore as a 'primary' device
- I also use fdroid and adaway and they don't require root

I dunno how we're supposed to do updates for this ROM?
I did this:
* boot to recovery
* adb sideload lineage.zip
* reboot to recovery (changes slot)
* adb sideload gapps.zip (gotta do this each time?)
* adb sideload Magisk.apk (gotta do this each time?)
* reboot to system
I did a few reboots and power off/on cycles and it didn't fail to boot. So I guess the privapp thing was fixed

Hi a1291762,
is the above an alternative method to go from Lineageos 18.1 to Lineagos 19.1 or should the original procedure from Its_Vixano be used? If it is an upgrade procedure rather than an update procedure (are those to be expected at all?) can you give a more detailed explanation? I have TWRP 3.5.2_9.2 and Magisk on my phone, however, TWRP should not be used for flashing 19.1 because of FBE build (what's that?). Does your procedure work with fastboot or adb? Whatsoever, though it is not my daily driver I am very happy with my Mi A2 Lite with TWRP and Magisk but I also like playing... (with 75 years).
Thanks for all of your efforts!

The OP guide seems to be written for people coming from something other than Lineage. The first part of it sets up the Lineage recovery and formats user data.
Since I was coming from Lineage and already had the recovery, I figured I could skip those steps. The OP guide says you can skip formatting data if you're coming from Lineage and I figured the recovery can't have changed too much.
I don't know how much testing was done for a Lineage 18 -> 19 upgrade. It worked for me but I barely had anything installed when I did it. Make backups in case of data loss and all that.
Something I don't understand in the OP guide is the suggestion to use the copy_partitions script. It only seems useful if your phone is somehow in an odd situation where miscellaneous A and B partitions don't match? It can't hurt to run it I guess.
grufty47 said:

My 18->19 upgrade process matches the 19 "OTA" process. Refer to the OP guide for screenshots and details.
1. Boot to recovery
2. Sideload the lineage zip
3. Reboot to recovery (changes the active slot)
4. Sideload gapps
5. Sideload Magisk
The lineage zip is like a "full OTA" for the stock ROM. Flashing it overwrites system, boot and vendor, hence the need to flash gapps and magisk again. But the recovery only supports flashing to the current slot, hence the reboot in the middle.

FBE has to do with encryption. I found this that might help explain it.
https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/hd534a
Booting TWRP 3.5.2_9.2 (fastboot boot twrp.img) shows only garbage names under /sdcard plus a bunch of other places (but not all of /data). So I guess TWRP doesn't support FBE encryption? I'm not sure why that matters for flashing system partitions, but if any of lineage, gapps or magisk expects to write to places covered by FBE then clearly that's not going to work properly under TWRP.
Since you have installed TWRP over the Lineage recovery, you'll have to get a Lineage recovery back on your phone before you can upgrade. Using the provided recovery should work I guess? If not, you could use TWRP to flash the most recent Lineage 18 zip, which will also replace TWRP with Lineage recovery. Part of the reason I attempted the 18->19 upgrade in the first place is because I couldn't get the provided recovery to boot on my phone.
I hope that helps.

TWRP cannot decrypt userdata if you set lockscreen. (one said it works, other it doesn't, so idk I'll just leave it here, YMMV)
Flashing anything shows many "unlock" red lines. (They are currently harmless by our knowledge).
USB-OTG
<!> There can be many more bugs unknown to me and testers. Report as soon as you face problem.
<!> PSA: I don't have the device to verify some of these bugs.
Download:
TWRP (3.7.0): https://github.com/almondnguyen/twr...a32-20230208/TWRP-3.7.0_12.1-a32-20230208.tar

Disable VBMeta: https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...236537/?hash=f7249adaefe16f3aeac3256a63063f0a
(Optional) Root using Magisk: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/
Install:
If you have TWRP or any custom recovery installed and bootable, you can upgrade instead; Look below.
<!> the installation will require WIPING DATA. You will also lose access to all Knox-based solutions like Secure Folder.
Backup every precious data you have on your phone.
<!> PC is required. Windows is preferred. (You probably know what you are doing when using Linux/Heimdall. We don't talk about Macs)
Unlock Bootloader:
Go to Settings > About Phone > About Software. Tap build number (10 times) until "you are now a developer" toast shows up.
Go back, go to Developer Settings.
Turn on OEM unlock toggle.
Turn off your phone, hold vol-up + vol-down, then plug in charging cable (please don't use 3rd-party charging-only cable, it must have data transfer capability).
Your device will boot into download mode with a warning. Accept it.
Hold volume-up until the phone shows the bootloader unlock panel "Unlock Bootloader?".
Press volume-up again. Now your phone bootloader is unlocked.
<!> It will now begin the process of wiping data. Let it do its job.
‎
When it reboots to OS, finish setting up your device.
Double check to make sure OEM Unlock is still ON.
‎ ‎
 
Preparing for the installation:
Download everything above onto your PC.
Install Samsung USB Driver.
Open Odin.
Connect your phone to your PC. There should be a COM entry on the top.
Make sure your phone is in Download Mode. (see step 4 of section Unlock Bootloader)
Make sure that OEM LOCK and REACTIVATION LOCK on your screen show "OFF". If it's not off, DO NOT PROCEED ANY FURTHER.
<!> For those with lock ON, use your device for 7 days without rebooting once. Then check the locks above again.
‎  
 
Installing:
Ensure phone is in Download mode.
In Odin:
Load in Userdata: VBMeta_disabler.tar file.
Load in AP: TWRP TAR file.
Prepare yourself. keep your hand on Volume-up and Power button (don't press yet).
In Odin, press Start. It will flash, then reboot. When the screen turned off, quickly press Vol-up and Power button to boot to recovery (this should take about 20~30 seconds).
<!> You should have TWRP up and running now.
‎  
 
Post-Installation:
MUST: Trigger Multi-disabler.
In TWRP, go to Advanced > Terminal.
Type multidisabler, then enter. If it fails with something about vendor free space, run it again.
Run multidisabler again.
Go to main screen. go to Wipe > Format Data, type yes then swipe.
Reboot to Recovery. Now you can do other stuff.
 
Should: Backup all vital partitions:
In TWRP, go to Backup
Backup: EFS, Modem, NVRAM.
Enjoy: Reboot your phone to have a rooted stock, install custom stuff or do whatever you want.
Upgrade:
<!> Use when you already have any custom recovery installed (TWRP, SHRP, Ofox and the likes)
Download the tar recovery image, then extract it to get recovery.img
Copy it to phone, then reboot to TWRP (Combo is Power + Volume-up)
Go: Install > Install image > select recovery.img file > select Recovery
Swipe to confirm flashing.
If success, reboot to recovery.
<!> You can also use Odin to upgrade, the steps similar to the Install section. All Post-installation, if already done, is unnecessary to do again.
GSI and related stuff:
GSI should be directly flashable now. Big credit to @Long266
Install TWRP, do all the instructions.
Download a GSI. Phh's is a good start.

I can't install large IMG files to internal memory? For example a gsi?

I should clarify that I don't own the device and all the testing was/is done by @Long266 .
These specific questions should be inquired to him instead (on his thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...hawk-recovery-project-3-1-2021-03-24.4420469/ ).
Anyways, the bug that you are mentioning means that you can't flash images FROM internal SD card. GSI and image stuff should be flashable from other places like external SD or cache. Zip files are so far working as intended (as is they are flashable from anywhere).
To be fair, there could be flaws in his testing methodology and you should try it yourself.

Thanks Bro
I will owe the test of the A325M. I have no SD card at the moment.

Build 2022-03-25 changes:
Add backup entry for NVRAM, so in case Magisk messes up you still have a working copy intact.
Fix flashing image causing file size exceeded limit.

Updated TWRP Link, previously pointing to dead end.

It worked fine on the A325m, but I had NULL errors when I went to do some actions, and the USB OTG is not working!

How to update the TWRP version if it is already installed?
Is it enough to just flash the new TWRP version in Odin?
Or do I need to do the same steps as with the first installation (i.e. multidisabler, etc)?

You can use the "install Image" under TWRP.
From the <!> For more info part, download .img file instead, copy it to your phone. Then go to TWRP > Install > Install Image > select TWRP img > select Recovery to flash.

How to deactive KC Client and
Knox Enrollment Service?

Hi, I wanted to try a GSI with this, is it safe to try it? Thanks for developing this TWRP, I can help with testing too.

Okay, I tested flashing phh's AOSP GSI, TWRP doesn't have the entry to flash to the dynamic partitions (system, vendor, product, etc). It can flash only to the super partition. Tried to flash the GSI there just in case, but i get a bootloop obviously. Restored successfully through ODIN. I wont test magisk because I don't want to lose IMEI.

I could install the Lineageos 19.1 GSI! I had to use this zip as a workaround ChonDoe_Flasher.zip, that allows flashing dynamic partitions even if the TWRP doesn't. I also made a treble overlay for this device (vendor.img), that fixes power profiles and all this stuff, ill upload it now if anyone is interested.
To flash the GSI you have to rename the .img file to system.img, put it in the same location than the zip and flash the zip. I have the scripts inside the zip to check if it didnt do anything weird and the source code seems safe, tried two GSIs today.
What doesnt work with the Lineage GSI or phh's AOSP is MTP and the fingerprint reader. Also i can't get encryption to work, the GSI crashes if i don't use multidisabler to remove encryption from the fstab. Everything else works flawlessly from my testing.
For file transfer i'm using ADB with this tool, it's even faster than MTP somehow Python ADB File Explorer
EDIT: Uploaded vendor.img with the overlay for this device, ill push the changes to github later.
Download here: vendor.img

Development [RECOVERY][3.7.0_12-8][UNOFFICIAL][UNIFIED] TWRP with A12/A13 encryption support

This is an unofficial build of TWRP, based on the Android 12.1 branch, that supports encryption used by Android 12 and 13 ROMs. This build is tested on OP9 pro, but it was confirmed to work on regular OP9 too.
As always I'm not responsible for any bricked device or data loss resulting from the use of this TWRP builds. You use this at your own risk.
For ROMs using FBEv1 encryption aka A11 encryption, please use the official builds by @Nebrassy from:
[RECOVERY] [11] [OFFICIAL] TeamWin Recovery Project
Introduction: Team Win Recovery Project or TWRP for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added...
forum.xda-developers.com
Download:
twrp-3.7.0-12.1 - Google Drive
drive.google.com
Installation:
Permanent installation is not possible with TMO stock ROM installed.
Installation overwrites all boot partition changes done previously (e.g. by Magisk or custom kernel). So you have to reflash all zips that change the boot partition after TWRP is installed.
For permanent installation, you have three options depending on your current system.
1. Option for rooted devices:
Download the twrp-installer zip
Flash it with Magisk manager or some other kernel flash utility
Reflash your custom kernel and Magisk.apk if previously installed (see example of how to install with Magisk manager below). Or alternatively flash zips in TWRP.
Don't reboot
Rename downloaded Magisk.apk to Magisk.zip
Open Magisk app
Select Modules tab
Click "Install from storage"
Select Magisk.zip
2. Option for users with other custom recoveries but without root:
Download the twrp-installer zip
Reboot to recovery
Flash it with "adb sideload twrp-installer*.zip"
Reboot to recovery
Reflash your custom kernel and Magisk.apk if previously installed
3. Option is universal:
Download boot.img
Reboot to bootloader
Run "fastboot boot boot.img" with the TWRP boot image on your PC
Go to Advanced > Flash Current TWRP
Reflash your custom kernel and Magisk.apk if previously installed
Try without installation:
Download boot.img
Reboot to bootloader
Run "fastboot boot boot.img" with the TWRP boot image on your PC
Uninstall:
Just flash the boot partition with your current ROMs boot image with the following steps.
Replace "YOUR ROM BOOTIMAGE" with the filename of the extracted boot image of your current ROM.
Reboot to bootloader
Run "fastboot flash boot_a YOUR ROM BOOTIMAGE"
Run "fastboot flash boot_b YOUR ROM BOOTIMAGE"
Alternatively you can flash your currently installed OTA zip, which overwrites boot on the unused slot, but not on the currently used one.
TWRP Updates:
Download and flash the twrp-installer zip
After that reflash your custom kernel and Magisk if previously installed
ROM Updates:
Please follow the official update instructions for your ROM!
If they give an option to update via recovery you have to substitute adb sideload commands with zip installations. Also use the "Automatically reflash TWRP after flashing a ROM" option, if you are going to install a ROM zip to preserve TWRP installation.
In case your ROM does not provide a recovery update instruction you can try to update via recovery but you are on the safe side if you follow the official instructions. They always have a reason for their particular update instructions!
Instructions that work for me (on LOS based ROMs):
Flash ROM zip with "Automatically reflash TWRP after flashing a ROM" checked
Flash your previously installed zips (custom kernel, Gapps, Magisk, etc)
Reboot to system
If Gapps packages keep crashing:
Reboot to TWRP
Flash Gapps again
Reboot to system
For OOS updates should work out of the box, but if you have issues you can follow these steps (I haven't tested them):

forum.xda-developers.com
About backups/restore:
Restore data only WITHOUT pin/pattern set.
If you restore a backup made from another ROM, then the currently installed, you may have to format data. So please manually copy all contents from /sdcard to a PC or flash drive.
Backups can be made with or without pin/pattern set. It is always good practice to copy your backups to your PC or an USB drive. Also after you restored your data partition you have to reboot to system and do a second reboot to get a working system.
To make first boot faster and eliminate the need to reboot again, additionally use the step mandatory for OOS users.
If you want to copy your backup to PC, but it doesn't show up, flash change_backup_selinux_context.zip, which is available in download folder.
For OOS users:
When data is restored, you have to delete "/data/system/users/0/package-restrictions.xml" before rebooting to system.
In case you restore a backup with pin/pattern set or have some other issues I have a guide that works for me:

How to use MTP, adb and fastbootD:
Windows:
Install official Google USB drivers and select the right USB drivers. For MTP and adb, the WinUSB driver is sufficient on Windows 11. For fastbootD, Google drivers (Android Bootloader interface) has to be chosen.
You may have to select WinMTP for MTP and Google USB drivers for adb, if you run Windows 10.
To use adb on Windows, MTP has to be disabled with "Mount->Disable MTP" in TWRP.
Steps for choosing a specific driver (no the exact wording):
Connect phone in specific mode
Open device manager
Right click on phone either under "Android device" or "USB device", depending on mode
Select "update driver"
Select 2. option "browse my computer"
Select "pick from available drivers"
Pick driver according to above description
Linux:
Intall the fastboot and adb packages for your distribution
Set udev rules. There might be a package for your distro or use this gh repo: https://github.com/M0Rf30/android-udev-rules
Add user to the group used in udev rules. Most common are "plugdev" and "adbusers"

A third universal option, if you have root, is to use the command "dd if=/dev/block/by-name/vendor_boot_SLOT of=/sdcard/vendor_boot.img" on your device. This writes the vendor_boot image to your sdcard folder, but you have to substitute SLOT with either a or b, depending on your currently active slot.
Reboot to bootloader.
Run "fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img" with the TWRP vendor_boot image.
Run "fastboot boot boot.img" with the TWRP boot image.
Go to Advanced > Flash Current TWRP.
After that is done, if you were using a custom kernel, reflash it now.
If you were using magisk, reflash it now.
Reboot to bootloader.
Run "fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img" with the ROM vendor_boot image from step one.
In the case you just want to test TWRP without installation, please skip steps 5-7.
Permanent installation works fine for me with crdroid 13 and magisk installed. I have not tested any other ROMs or custom kernels. After permanent installation you can at any time reboot to recovery without reflashing vendor_boot. During a ROM update use the "Automatically reflash TWRP after flashing a ROM" option in the install zip menu to preserve TWRP.

For the cRDroid 13, which OOS Base are you using? I used C66, with own rec fine, if use your TWRP 3.7.0, can't boot.

Your problem seems to be a general TWRP problem, that oftentimes happens in multiuser system. And I couldn't access your recovery.log. In this file you find conflicting files, that are the reason for the error.
Here is a link to the github issue, maybe it helps you solving the problem.
