Introduction
MultiROM is one-of-a-kind multi-boot mod for Xperia Z1. It can boot any Android ROM as well as other systems like Ubuntu Touch, once they are ported to that device. Besides booting from device's internal memory, MultiROM can boot from USB drive connected to the device via OTG cable. The main part of MultiROM is a boot manager, which appears every time your device starts and lets you choose ROM to boot. You can see how it looks on the left image below and in gallery. ROMs are installed and managed via modified TWRP recovery. You can use standard ZIP files to install secondary Android ROMs and MultiROM even has its own installer system, which can be used to ship other Linux-based systems.
Features:
* Multiboot any number of Android ROMs
* Restore nandroid backup as secondary ROM
* Boot from USB drive attached via OTG cable
You can also watch a video which shows it in action.​
Warning!
It _is_ dangerous. This whole thing is basically one giant hack - none of these systems are made with multibooting in mind. It is no longer messing with data partition or boot sector, but it is possible that something goes wrong and you will have to flash factory images again. Make backups. Always.​
Installation
1. Via MultiROM Manager app
This is the easiest way to install everything MultiROM needs. Install the app and select MultiROM and recovery on the Install/Update card. If the Status card says Kernel: doesn't have kexec-hardboot patch! in red letters, you have to install also patched kernel - either select one on the Install/Update card or get some 3rd-party kernel here on XDA. You are chosing kernel for your primary ROM, not any of your (future) secondary ROMs, so select the version accordingly.
Press "Install" on the Install/Update card to start the installation.​
2. Manual installation
Firstly, there are videos on youtube. If you want, just search for "MultiROM installation" on youtube and watch those.
Note 1: Your device must not be encrypted (hint: if you don't know what it is, then it is not encrypted).
MultiROM has 3 parts you need to install:
MultiROM (multirom-vXX-DDMMYY-honami.zip) - download the ZIP file from second post and flash it in recovery.
Modified recovery (TWRP_multirom-honami.img) - download the IMG file from second post and use fastboot to flash it.
Patched kernel - You can use third-party kernels which include the patch, you can see list in the second post.
You current rom will not be erased by the installation.
Download links are in the second post.​
Adding ROMs
1. Android
Go to recovery, select Advanced -> MultiROM -> Add ROM. Select the ROM's zip file and confirm. As for the space, clean installation of a ROM after first boot (with dalvik cache generated and connected to google account) takes more or less 700MB of space.​
Using USB drive
During installation, recovery lets you select install location. Plug in the USB drive, wait a while and press "refresh" so that it shows partitions on the USB drive (if USB drive partitions are not showed, disconnect USB drive and try again). You just select the location (extX, NTFS and FAT32 partitions are supported) and proceed with the installation.
If you wanna use other than default FAT32 partition, just format it in PC.
If you are installing to NTFS or FAT32 partition, recovery asks you to set image size for all the partitions - this cannot be easilly changed afterward, so choose carefully. FAT32 is limited to maximum of 4095MB per image - it is limitation of the filesystem, I can do nothing about that.
Installation to USB drives takes a bit longer, because the flash drive is (usually) slower and it needs to create the images.
Enumerating USB drive can take a while in MultiROM menu, so when you press the "USB" button in MultiROM, wait a while (max. 30-45s) until it searches the USB drive. It does it by itself, no need to press something, just wait.​
Updating/changing ROMs
1. Primary ROM (Internal)
Flash ROM's ZIP file as usual, do factory reset if needed (it won't erase secondary ROMs)
Go to Advanced -> MultiROM in recovery and do Inject curr. boot sector.
2. Secondary Android ROMs
If you want to change the ROM, delete it and add new one. To update ROM, follow these steps:
Go to Advanced -> MultiROM -> List ROMs and select the ROM you want to update.
Select "Flash ZIP" and flash ROM's ZIP file.

MultiROM Manager Android app: Google Play or link to APK
Kernel w/ kexec-hardboot patch (Stock 4.4.4 - .157): stock-kexec-boot.img (link dead and I don't have a backup, if you have one PM me)
You need to have kernel with kexec-hardboot patch only in your primary ROM!
DO NOT USE TRINITY KERNEL, IT MAY CAUSE ISSUES​
2. third-party kernels with kexec-hardboot patch
* Validus LP kernel
* Resurrection Remix LP kernel
* VanirAOSP LP kernel
* crDroid LP kernel
* F(X)TrinityUltimate kernel
Nicely ask your kernel developer to merge kexec-hardboot patch.​
3. Uninstaller
MultiROM uninstaller: MultiROM_uninstaller.zip
Flash this ZIP file to remove MultiROM from your device. It will erase all secondary ROMs. If you don't want MultiROM menus in recovery, re-flash clean TWRP, but it is not needed - those menus don't do anything if MultiROM is not installed.​

FAQ and other notes
About security
In order to make multi-booting possible, MultiROM has to sacrifice some security measures. Firstly, on secondary Android ROMs, /system is not mounted read-only. While there are other things preventing malicious software from messing with /system, this might potentialy make it easier for such software to attack that system.
Next, MultiROM doesn't work with /data encryption. Not many people who use custom ROMs also use encryption anyway, so that isn't much of a concern.​
What do the ROMs share?
All ROMs are separate, except /sdcard, which is shared between all Android ROMs.​
How many ROMs can I have?/Where are the ROMs stored?
You can have as many ROMs as you can fit in your /sdcard. All the ROMs are stored in /sdcard/multirom/roms or on an USB drive./external SD card. This folder is unaccessible in Android, to prevent mediascanner from scanning it. You can either in recovery, or obtain root and go to /data/media/0/multirom/roms.​
Can I have different versions of Android working alongside
Yes.​
MultiROM recovery says it's 2.8.4. Why isn't it updated to 2.8.4.*highernumber*?
It is, it just shows wrong version.​
The menu with all the ROMs won't show up during boot, how to fix it?
Either re-flash the MultiROM zip or go to recovery, Advanced -> MultiROM -> Inject curr. boot sector.
The reason for this is that something rewrote your boot.img, which happens for example when you flash a kernel. MultiROM's boot menu is part of the boot image, so it has to be added into it again.​

Thanks man! I've been waiting for a while for this

Wooo man it's good!
I was reading your thread on sony cross dev section and i was thinking: will it be available for Z1?
Thanks buddy :good:

It yet needs testing, also if there's any custom kernel for stock ROM I would like to push kexec patch to it

Question to OP:
Do you know if multirom breaks data encryption? Right now my phone is encrypted and I use TWRP for updates or installing other roms without breaking encryption. In other words, my phone was encrypted only once and TWRP allows me to unlock encryption in recovery and have access to all partitions...
Thanks in advance.

Sexxxxxy.. The most important Thread now

The kexec hardboot patch is require only for Primary ROM? or for secondary ROMs too? Means I can have Validus ROM now and can have any other ROM (which do not have the patch) as secondary ROMs?
Oops I didnt saw the Second post properly - I guess the answer is YES

This is a Manual Procedure, all this can be done via Multirom App
Thats How I did -
01. Clean Flash Validus ROM or any ROM which has Support for Kexce Hardboot Patch
Or
01. Clean Flash A Stock ROM, then Flash Kexce Hardboot Kernel via Fastboot (u can use Minimum adb and fastboot tool or you can use Rashr App to flash Kernel)
02. If LP ROM is primary then - Install fota recovery TWRP from Recovery Workaround Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/general/recovery-solution-lollypop-roms-t3000822
03. Reboot into Recovery
04. Flashed MultiROM-v30x-UNOFFICIAL-honami.zip from the Recovery
05. Power Off the Device and Connected into Fastboot Mode
06. Fastboot the MultiROM TWRP img by Command - fastboot flash FOTAKernel TWRP_multirom-honami.img
07. Reboot and Bam!! I have MultiROM.

CHANGELOG for 3.2.1-0:
- minui fixes (cryptomilk)
- Better android-8.0 compatibility in ROM trees (Dees_Troy)
- Fix missing library in android-8.0 (nkk71)
- Fix inconsistent SDCard naming (DevUt)
- Default to TWRP restore instead of adb backup restore to fix restore on fresh TWRP boot (jlask)
Note: As always, be sure your custom theme is up to date (or remove your custom theme) before updating TWRP.
System read only option: Devices that ship with 5.0 and higher as their initial OS are using block level OTA updates. With this style of OTA update, the update script checks to see if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. Further, the script also usually runs an SHA sum of the entire system partition to detect if any changes have been made. If any changes have been made, the OTA update will refuse to install. Since not all OEMs and devices have factory images available, we have created a new feature in TWRP that detects if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. If not, you will be prompted asking if you want TWRP to mount system as read/write. If you choose not to allow TWRP to mount as read/write, TWRP won’t prompt to install SuperSU and TWRP won’t try to patch the stock ROM to prevent TWRP from being replaced by stock recovery. The goal of this option is to hopefully allow the user to make a raw system image backup that they can use to get back to a state where they can take OTA updates again.
resize2fs feature: On some devices like the Nexus 6, the factory images include a userdata image that is the proper size only for the 32GB units. If you flash the factory image to a 64GB Nexus 6, the data partition will appear as if it only has the free space of a 32GB device. Using the resize2fs option, TWRP can resize your data partition to take up the full space available. The resize2fs may also be useful to resize system partitions on devices where custom ROM system images don’t take up the full partition space. Lastly, resize2fs may be useful in some cases to reserve the proper space at the end of a data partition for a full disk encryption key, should your partition be formatted incorrectly for some reason.
This new version also marks our first set of full builds using our new jenkins build server. You can track the progress of builds at https://jenkins.twrp.me and we have taken additional steps to make it easier for device maintainers to step up and submit patches to our gerrit server at https://gerrit.twrp.me to help us keep devices up to date and working.

I really want twrp 3.2.1-1. Miui firmware not Packed in new.dat are not installed on Android 8.

Thank you very much! Very nice to see the official one!

Sorry about the noob question but I'm not sure. Is possible updating with this version without getting the official recovery? Any explanation helps, thank you!

Hi
I hope someone can help me. I unlocked my Note 2 running MIUIPro 9 (Android 7) and then installed TWRP 3.2.1.0 Scorpio and rebooted into TWRP via fastboot and now my Note 2 will not boit, it just sits on the MIUIPro unlocked screen.
I have tried to transfer the Global MIUI 9 Firmware file to the internal storage while connected via TWRP but the PC keeps telling me the phone is not connected although I can access the root of the phone on the PC and have the drivers installed.
TIA

I had the same problem a few days ago trying to recover root after updating to MIUI 9.5.4 and sadly have no idea whats going on.
I fixed it downloading the MIUI firmware to my PC (fastboot option) and used Mi Flash Tool to flash it above the existing one (no wipe) and it booted again normally.
I recently updated to 9.5.5 but I haven't tested yet if now it works. So far I have no clue what I'm doing wrong.
Sorry if my english it's not perfect, hope it helps.

Good morning friends!
I installed Rom Beta MIUI 10 Global 8.7.5 in TWRP 3.2.2
However, the system does not boot even though I'm formatting with TWRP.
Would there be some other method for ROM to reboot?
Can anyone help me with this question?
I install MIUI 10, do the procedure by installing TWRP, restart Smatphone via TWRP, install SuperSU, format the System. But when I restart my Smartphone, it does not leave the startup screen

Thanks a lot man. I've got a minor issue. Mouse cursor in the center for all time.

If you are referring to MIUI OTAs, those are differently sorted inside(folder wise) the archive... So TWRP will not find the files he needs to read...
Full ROMs are normally arranged inside (folder wise) and that's why you can flash them...

New version available 3.3.0-0 as of 20190412.
No changelog for scorpio, but article on XDA here about changes.
https://www.xda-developers.com/twrp-3-3-0-release/
Maybe useful if you need encryption, or edl?
Been using previous version for Xiaomi.eu with no problems.
Scorpio is actually a really good phone, very dependable, as long as you don't overheat it.

latest version of miui (miui11)
did it the latest twrp 3.3.1.0 work/run/installed fine on latest miui (miui 11.0.2.0) please help me
thanks in advance

I can boot the latest version of TWRP (3.4.0) through fastboot, but everytime I tried to install it (whether via fastboot or booted TWRP), it reverts back to mi recovery. Any suggestions? Do I have to install 2.8.4 first? (Please note that the 2.8.4 version image file no longer exists in twrp's site)
My device is bootloader unlocked running on Global MIUI 11.0.2.0 (OADMIXM)

Official MIUI will always revert back to Mi recovery.
You have to flash a custom rom if you want to keep TWRP, without rebooting to MIUI.

Ah so that's why.
Flashed Lineage 17, and now TWRP is persistent, thank you!
Oh right, I noticed that the display brightness is not working (default is too bright btw), as I slide to the right or left, there is no brightness change, TWRP 3.4.0. Haven't tried the older versions tho. Display brightness settings in Lineage works fine.

Current software stock recovery.img
Current software stock dtbo.img (only if modified by Magisk or custom ROM)
Incremental OTA zip for current software to new software
TWRP_Flash_tpposite_Slot-CPTBv2.zip
Magisk zip (optional)
Steps:
Ensure you have the latest version of TWRP installed. If you don't, follow the instructions in the OP to flash it.
Boot into TWRP.
Use the "Install Image" feature to flash the stock boot and recovery (and dtbo) images.
Flash the incremental OTA zip.
Flash TWRP_Flash_tpposite_Slot-CPTBv2.zip to retain TWRP.
(Optional) Reboot into TWRP and flash Magisk for root.
The key here is making sure the current slot is fully stock (including boot and recovery images) in order for the incremental OTA zip to install successfully.
What's the deal with these dynamic partitions?
Here's Google's explanation.
Why can't I write to system?
Dynamic partitions (see link above). See @topjohnwu's detailed explanation here.
How do I make modifications to system?
On the stock ROM, you don't. However, you can modify system "systemlessly" with Magisk.
Can I boot the recovery image without flashing it?
No. Fastboot boot isn't possible on this device, but since there's a separate recovery partition (two in fact), and ASUS provides full stock firmware, this isn't a big concern.
What is fastbootd?
Here's Google's explanation.
Can I back up the system/vendor partition separately?
No. Because dynamic partitions. The Super partition is backed up and restored in its entirety. If you need to flash the individual images, use fastbootd.
Why can't I restore X partition (read-only error)?
Some of the partitions that can be backed up in TWRP include sensitive device data which, if corrupted, backed up, and then restored, can irreparably damage the device. Therefore, while these partitions can be backed up in TWRP, only experienced users should restore them, which can be done manually via the dd command.
(I will not provide any additional details on this procedure)

Big thanks to @Buffydamion for all his tireless testing and log-providing to get this TWRP in fully working order!!
Hopefully there aren't any bugs besides the upstream ones listed in the OP, but if there are, I'll do my best to figure them out.
Since I don't have the device, I'll have to rely on all of you for logs and feedback.
Enjoy!!

How did you make it boot on this android 10 device? Official TWRP doesn't support android 10. Dees_Troy is still working on the solution.

@Dees_Troy isn't the only person on the TWRP team.
@bigbiff has been working tirelessly to add Android 10 support to TWRP, with help from @mauronofrio, @androiabledroid, myself and others. TWRP is open-source and a team effort. As you'll notice, there are still some upstream bugs that need to be fixed, which is why the official TWRP hasn't been updated yet. But it's working well enough to release it for devices that need it, and when the official TWRP is ready, these devices will have official support.

Works fine for me. Thanks!
The data partition was already partitioned to f2fs.
Flashed magisk and have a rooted phone now. Perfect!

Update - new 20200920 build with stock kernel with f2fs support thanks to a proper fix from @aleasto.
I've also unified the dtb & dtbo with the ROG3 build, so this one needs testing to confirm it's booting for everyone. Please report back here once you have a chance to update.

So I had to remove the above build as it didn't boot. Building a new one now and hopefully it'll work. I'll keep everyone posted.

New release 20200922-14
There's a new release available today, which I recommend everyone switch to at their earliest convenience. I've also added a zip attachment to the first post that will allow you to flash a TWRP installed to your current slot to the opposite/inactive slot after an OTA is installed, so that you keep TWRP (otherwise it gets replaced by the OTA/firmware zip). The zip can be flashed either in Magisk Manager after the OTA completes installing (but BEFORE rebooting) or in TWRP after manually flashing a full firmware update zip (but PRIOR to rebooting). The zip simply duplicates the recovery from the existing recovery partition to the opposite slot, so it will only work if TWRP is currently installed to the active slot.
Change Log:
Update prebuilt kernel to source built with @aleasto's patch for f2fs
Set data filesystem to f2fs in recovery fstab
Add TWRP flags to disable screen blank to ensure touchscreen gets initialized on boot and screen wake works

Hi guys, i tried on mine and worked smoothly...the only thing I still cant do is writing in system folder...I tried multiple app as Root explorer but still can't manage to write anything even with root permission...
Any thoughts?

That is normal for dynamic partitions. The full super partition can be written but not the individual block devices.

Thanks Captain! So basically I will have to wait for the official release of the TWRP? Or it will just never happen to have a super partition...Excuse the ignorance

That is unrelated to TWRP being official or not, lol.
TWRP upstream will soon be updated to allow read/write of the system partition, but keep in mind that verity will need to be disabled for you to change any of the content, unless you don't want your device to boot .
--Cap
P.S. If you need to make modifications to system, you should use Magisk - it's made for this exact situation.

Hi,
I would like to install TWRP. if I understood correctly you have to do this:
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Install TWRP on both partitions.
3. Install TWRP_Flash_tpposite_Slot-CPTB.zip
4. Install Magisk.
Is it right?
And the correct procedure to update OTA? can you remove magisk and module before?
Thank you for your answers.

You don't need #3, as you're flashing TWRP to both slots in #2. That zip is for keeping TWRP after flashing a full firmware zip.
To update with an incremental OTA, you have to have the stock boot and recovery images from the current firmware available to be flashed in TWRP. You have to boot to TWRP and flash both stock boot and recovery, and then you can flash the incremental OTA. Then reboot to bootloader and flash TWRP, then reboot to recovery and flash Magisk for root.

Great and thanks Captain T.
Just a clarification, if i flash a full OTA (not incremental OTA) i don't need flash the stock boot, right?

Correct.
And then you need to flash the zip that flashes TWRP to the opposite slot so you keep TWRP once you reboot. You'll have to reboot back into TWRP and flash Magisk if you want to keep root.

Current Status: Stable-ish
Supported Models:
SM-A325F: tested by @Long266 .
SM-A325M: tested by @Melky777 .
SM-A325N: not tested.
Bugs known so far:
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
Samsung USB Driver: https://developer.samsung.com/mobile/android-usb-driver.html
Odin (3.14.4): https://samfw.com/Odin/Samfw.com_Odin3_v3.14.4.zip
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

KNOWN ISSUE FOR FBEv1 Recovey : DATA BACKUP AND RESTORE NOT WORKING
DATA DECRYPTION NOT WORKING FOR SOME ROMS
KNOWN BUG FOR 00S12 Recovery (0.1%) : DATA BACKUP AND RESTORE WORKS, BUT HAVEN'T FOUND A PERFECT WAY TO RESTORE AND MAKE THE PHONE FULLY WORKING. IF YOU ARE FREE PLEASE CONSIDER TO FIND A WAY TO PERFECTLY BACKUP AND RESTORE OOS12 ROM DATA PARTITION
Note: Only boot and work with OOS12, never try to flash with FBEv1 or FBEv2 roms, if you do so, your device will face a softbrick. Similarly donot try FBEv1 or FBEv2 recoveries with OOS12. This is due to the mismatch in firmwares of OOS12 and other roms
If flashing rom from OOS12 variant, after installing custom rom, flash FBEv1, FBEv2 recovery accordingly. And vice versa
To flash OOS12 OTA (Only available from R11.1_3 onwards)
I added 2 scripts inside the recovery.
Before flashing OOS12 OTA
Go to terminal
Type and press enter
sh /system/bin/pre_oos_flash.sh
You will see an error "kPostinstallError" : just ignore it.
After flashing OOS12 OTA
Go to terminal
Type and press enter
sh /system/bin/post_oos_flash.sh
Then switch slot to updated slot

Ys. But require few edits. I need to build another separate version for Oxygen OS, Color OS and some other custom roms since they use FBEv1 file encryption.

Works super good! one of GOAT recoveries

@Sreeshankar K
Thanks for this great recovery! It´s working like a charm on my device.
One question: is it able to decrypt data/internal storage? I have a pattern, but there is no option in decryption to use this or am I wrong? I´m on Lineage OS 19.1.

Probably Lineage OS 19.1 is FBEv1 ROM. This recovery only support FBEv2 ROMs. I had mentioned it in the post. Currently no support for FBEv1 ROMs. If u want fully functioning recovery please go to the telegram group mentioned in the XDA post.
And also thanks for ur positive comment

Wasn't able to decrypt the data partition with LOS 18.1 and the FBEv1 version.
And now after booting, Bluetooth is no more starting/working.
It's doesn't turn on, it goes back to off every time.
Had this problem also in the past with the OFRP from the other thread.
Edit: was able to fix the Bluetooth problem with: restorecon -R /data

Had this problem also in the past with the OFRP from the other thread.
Edit: was able to fix the Bluetooth problem with: restorecon -R /data

I checked it on superior os which is FBEv1. And data partition was successfully decrypted

Strange, because here the decryption doesn't work.
The partition was once encrypted by LOS 18.1, hence probably FBEv1.
Also tried the FBEv2 recovery, but as expected no decryption dialog appears.
Thanks for testing and also creating the recovery.
Do we have any other options to test or fix this?

Ys not working. It was the first build of FBEv1 recovery released yesterday. I will check it.. Thanks for testing it. I go through the logs found that FBE decrypt setup is working fine but it cannot decrypt metadata partition.

This could possibly cause the Bluetooth problem, because the SELinux permissions don't seem to match after trying to decrypt data.
In any case, it's great that you're taking the time to look for the problem and fix it. Thanks.

Recovery settings and rom settings have no connections. Recovery only look for the fstab of rom to do the operations like wipe, install, backup and restore etc. Idk why that prob is appeared

Any news ?

Tried booting then flashing the R11.1_2_FBEv1 build using the fastboot manual flash, with OOS F17 EU (the latest for my device at the time of writing), it doesn't boot and just show the "boot/recovery destroyed" screen, any idea why?
Phone was also not booting after the flash, stuck on the "destroyed" screen, and I had to reflash the boot.img (no, I did not flash over boot, I double checked that I did specify recovery_a/_b when flashing)

It is bcoz, OOS12 firmware doesn't support other custom kernels, firmwares etc

Isn't "For Stock Roms (Oxygen OS and Color OS) & FBEv1 Custom Roms" a bit misleading then? Since it mention OOS and it being "For Stock Roms"

Tried out the new OOS12 option, works like a charm! Both the img and the zip!
I haven't tested everything but decryption, usb mounting, usb_otg, backups, sideloading and a lot more works perfectly!
I did encounter a bug tho, after trying out a few features, my filesystem appeared encrypted, with gibberish names for the folders and files
Fortunately it didn't affect anything and a reboot fixed everything
Finally a proper working recovery for the Nord!

Data backup and restore is buggy, means not saying that it is not working, haven't found a correct way to restore the backup of data partition, so if you have time please found a correct way to restore data partition, and post it here. Data decryption and all other features work.

This is bcoz your data partition is not decrypted. Decrypt it using your rom password then everything will be normal. That's not a bug... Bug is in the restoration of backuped data. Actually not a bug. Didn't found a fully working way.
Need to find a perfect way to restore. OOS12 data restore is bit painful.
Take a look on data backup and restore
if you are free
Thank you
