Hey,
so I'm trying to make a custom twrp recovery for the rmx3363 but I can't seem to find the recovery partition or which other partition is used for such a role.
Does anyone has any idea which partition is used for recovery?
Thanks!
P.S.: I've tried applications like Flashify and the Official TWRP app to make a back up of the stock recovery but neither can find the partition used for it.
This phone doesn't have recovery partition...
you could study about A/B (Seamless) System Updates in follow web page.

This is MultiROM TWRP 3.0.0-0 built using the latest 3.10 kernel and MM sources. The advantage is now you can have a TWRP recovery in the dedicated recovery partition that comes with the new TA Update. I've seen some people asking for this, and so here it is.
UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS ONLY! I am not responsible for what you do with this recovery, and how it affects your phone.
Instructions:
-> Download the recovery.img from the link below
-> Flash it to either the FOTA partition or the recovery partition using the respective fastboot commands
FOTA:
Code:
fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery.img
Recovery partition:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
-> Profit!
This will work with the Multirom v30 from the Original Development subforum.

About MultiROM:
For the past few days, I've been trying to port MultiROM v33 to our device so that we can multiboot with MM ROMs, but in vain. Although we have a working port of MultiROM already, it's sources are no longer available, and so we have to start from scratch. By referring to other Sony devices' source codes, I have reached a point where it boots all ROMs except MM ROMs, which is absolutely useless. If anyone has experience in the field and is willing to help, please do inform me, as this could be very useful to people who wanna stay on the bleeding edge with MM and at the same time, not lose camera privileges.

He flashed a/b image
I check in the terminal using
getprop ro.build.ab_update
Got false
But when i flash havoc-os a only system it bootloop
So my question is am i suppose to flash a only or ab?
Also if you have used gsi i'd be glad to hear your experience.
Reading this thread
Aonly or A/B
Treble Check tell me Aonly and Treble Info tell me A/B. Which one must I choose?
forum.xda-developers.com
has lead me to believe
That i should flash a/b img
You can actually force A/B by flashing this zip:
MakeMeSAR.zip | by erfanoabdi for Generic Device/Other
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
androidfilehost.com
Then it should flash A/B GSIs properly.
Will my recovery support it though.( Orange Fox by bekirakil)
Also I've only got 3.12GB system partition with no way of resizing it as this device has a dynamic partition
Plus the file name is makemesar and I'm sure that my devices is all ready system as root enabled.
This is just for ensuring you have AB, you can ignore it
System partition, hmmm, you can only flash small roms
I can confirm that you are suppose to use a/b img.
I flashed https://download.havoc-os.com/arm64-ab/Havoc-OS-v4.1-20210208-arm64-ab-Official.img.xz.
Unlike A-only img it booted and worked kindof.
I will not recommend this though as there is no way flash gapps for android 11 and not enough space to flash with a/b with gapps.
Also switched backed to lineage as it was causing random reboots.
Any help over making gsi stable will be much appreciated.
This post is meant for another fourm
When I restored the backup it failed but I was able to boot to lineage os which still contain gapps and magisk.
Since it showed failed I clean install everything again. The recovery read something like something something product partition, odm partion, system partiton.
Don't know if these logs are useful but I've attracted them below
Im wondering if a custom GSI installation is possible
Checking the app "Treble info" says the phone supports the modern version of project treble
And im wondering if anything else has to be done for a GSI to work (for example flashing another file before the GSI)
or just simply flash it via twrp or ADB?
and if its possible, The installation of an android 12 GSI would be possible?

Well you need to flash a vbmeta.img, with a special command. Details are in the link above.
Vbmeta.img is usually available in the stock ROM, but if it fails or does not exist, use the Google official vbmeta. https://dl.google.com/developers/android/qt/images/gsi/vbmeta.img
Hello,
I flashed the latest Lineage recovery and LineageOS20 on my Google Pixel 5, and I'd like to disable encryption on the data partition. Is there an ADB command I can run, or file I can flash to achieve this? I also have Magisk 26.1 flashed.
I use this phone for a development project and encryption is getting in the way.
Thanks!
I'm surprised no one knows.
I wanted to go the TWRP route of formatting the data partition, but I can't get TWRP to boot when running Android 13. I need to be on Android 12 to boot TWRP successfully, but being on Android 12 means I can't flash LineageOS20 (requires Android 13), a real catch 22.
Otherwise, does anyone have a link to the latest LineageOS19.1 for Redfin? The link is broken on the LineageOS website and I can't locate that zip file on any other website.
