Hey everyone,
As nobody has been willing to port TWRP to the Note 10 Lite and due to the unfortunate circumstances of OTA Updates bricking my own phone every time I have more or less been forced to get TWRP running on my device to even have a chance of recovering at least some data from it.
I will keep everyone posted on my progress but keep in mind that this is the first time I attempt to port TWRP or any other android component to a phone so progress might not go very smoothly at first.
I'm currently in the progress of getting a working build environment set up based on TWRP for the Galaxy S9 as it seems to share the same SoC as the Note 10 Lite which should at least provide a better base than starting from scratch. I hope to get something working before the end of the week as it's fairly critical for me to get it working asap.
If anybody who at least knows some stuff about porting TWRP to samsung devices wants to help me out I'd really appreciate it. Every nudge in the right direction is very nice to have so feel free to respond here or pass me a message

I have already made TWRP for Note10 Lite, And one more dev also made TWRP for N10Lite..
TWRP is ready but vbmeta check not allowing to flash any custom recovery in partition.
Yes we have flashed vbmeta disabled file but even phone says vbemta disabled value set still it gives while flashing twrp or any custom recovery error vbmeta verification failed.
This might be due to vbmeta in BL cross checking vbmeta of AP.
This same problem is present on other many samsung phones too.. and was present on s20 before but samsung fixed it with OTA update.
Unless samsung fixes that or give us private keys to sign twrp to use partition without that you cant flash anything into partition.
I haven't tried on one ui 3/ Android 11 firmware but I have seen vbmeta file of it, its the same as one ui 2.5.
I have posted all of this info here on XDA but got deleted cause I deleted my account. Will post again.
You can PM me if you want any help.

Over the weekend I got prompted to install an OTA update on my rooted Thinkpad Tablet. I have not yet installed it for fear of losing root (it mentions that it will factory reset the device in the process). I'm posting it here for any Devs that want to have a crack at it. It looks like it includes new Battery Firmware as well as "recovery-from-boot" and "install-recovery.sh" files.
I manually applied the build.prop.p file on my desktop and am attaching the new build.prop generated by this update. It looks like it is an update to ThinkPadTablet_A310_02_0039_0086_US. (Android 3.1)
I should point out that this is a US, 16GB, Wifi-only model.
Graphic describing the changes in this OTA:

This for bringing this up - I got the same update notification as you, and also like you, didnt update to ensure my root remains intact.
Last thing I want is to lose my titanium backup again.
You can restore root after the update provided you used the ota rootkeeper app to backup your su file first. The update doesn't do a factory reset - nothing personal was changed all. After the update (three minute process) you go to the android market and install superuser app. Open that app, then go to the ota rootkeeper and restore the root.
I didn't open superuser app the first time, so I couldn't restore the root. After I realized my mistake the ota rootkeeper worked perfectly.
I had all the lenovo bloatware frozen with titanium backup when I installed the update, but that didn't affect the process at all.
there's already thread explaining how to update without loosing root nor CWM !

My OP was more to provide the OTA update.zip in case a Dev is interested in including it in any Custom ROM they may be working on.
I just updated and it kept all of my settings. I didn't have root, but there was no factory reset.
Sent from my ThinkPad Tablet using xda premium
When will arrive this update to the ROW version? Btw. when will arrive Android 3.2?
Short answer - no 3.2, ICS only. Should be able to find the release date for ROW on the Lenovo forum.
Think there will also be a OTA2.5 (Android 3.1)...
I'm sure there will be too! I read one main purpose of OTA2 was to kill the vulnerability DrBliss found to acheive our root. Since Lenovo/ThinkPad is a business line of machines they didn't like the root -- according to the article it weakens enterprise security.
What it weakens is their ability to sell custom roms.
I unzipped it, and it looks like a new recovery is included. I'm wondering if anyone has yet had the time to take a look and recook this with the old recovery, and whatever other old files might be fundamental to root. I dunno, maybe I'm being too simple minded. Anyone seen anything? God knows you don't want me to do it.
Hello People,
Just ordered an OP 10 pro and waiting the shipment ( yeah, my OP3T is now old )
I saw there isn't TWRP actually on this device. I always like to do a FULL backup of my phone in case of emergency ( brick or something else).
Is there any other tool to do a full partition backup ?
Btw, anyone know if a team is working on a TWRP port ?
Thanks
You can backup even if there isn't TWRP. You don't need to worry about it.
and I heard last month that the team was working on this feature and soon update may come.
let's hope.
Or even if the update doesn't come you can return the phone. There is a certain time and you can read the return policy for more information.

There was barely a functional TWRP on the 8 pro, main reason being that you don't need it to flash ROMs and with contacts, messages and WhatsApp etc all being cloud based, swift back up allowing for a cloud back up too then you're not in any need for TWRP, so the emphasis has been taken off it.
Ideally it would be nice, but more to the point we need a solid tried and tested recovery method, of which twrp could maybe have helped.
Atm I believe fastboot enhance can save you from bricks and the above mentioned syncs and app back ups more then do the job.
My last two phones P20 Pro and the OnePlus 8 pro I've flashed like crazy at times and never needed TWRP once.
Yeah but twrp can backup all partition ( EDL, NVRAM...)
You can back up EDL without TWRP.

There are ways to backup via adb commands in fastboot d but you have to know locations and what is what
There is a way to backup stuff you need to find in fox for backup module then you can make a full backup of your device but i don't know how it fully works or what it will backup or on GitHub there are some backup things but i don't know what it was called no more

and need some help to unlock the bootloader to install a custom recovery
This has been answered before. If I am not mistaken you should enter fastboot and then run "fastboot getvar product". As for the "need help" part, I would suggest that you wait a few months since development is in the early stages as of now and can be confusing. Wait for better software and guides to pop up.
Edit: this is the command, granted you know about fastboot /adb. There is another thread, go and look this stuff up.
2nd edit: on your 2nd screenshot, you can see the answer. However, in your first screenshot it says snapdragon 665 which is definitely wrong (same thing on my phone too although I apparently have spesn). As I said previously, wait a bit more to go custom rom especially if you are not 100% sure of what you are doing. It's been the first time since 2012 I have used a stock phone, but I will wait a bit more since custom roms get better day by day. Also easier to work with.

Your device is Spes, and is indeed compatible with the ROM. Go to the official website to get the latest build for Spes.

I unlocked my new Zenfone8. then I had flashed the new E-OS system. and somehow I put it in my pocket wrong, and now the phone doesn't tell me it's unlocked! and it only goes to the green START screen Can someone help me?

So.. you got a NEW Zenfone 8. Decided to unlock right away, then flash E-OS (never heard of this before), and even put in your pocket wrong. And now you want to unlock it again? And let us not forget you're a newbie.
I'm not trolling but next time always read how to revert back or somekind of backup plan when you do some flashing. You didn't even mentioned any way you tried to get it working again.
Guys pls help this poor guy.

hello.
this e/OS (https://doc.e.foundation/devices) is a siple system but fairly new.
yes, that would have been smart with the backup... So with adb I can't get into the cell phone, I can connect with fastboot. this E/OS only runs when the phone is unlocked.. I previously unlocked it with the original tool from Asus (unlock.apk) But if the cell phone is lying on its side in the suitcase and accidentally presses all 3 buttons at the same time, the cell phone will be locked again! I didn't know that... and can you unlock this phone with fastboot? or with programs completely flash on original? Best Regards!
Hi, I can suggest you try the instructions in this post, the install of /e/OS most likely failed and now it doesnt get past the bootloader. The device is probably fine. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/full-recover-to-stock-if-things-went-really-bad.4337467/
worked!
but important! You first have to deactivate the digital driver signature in Windows 10!! otherwise driver fragments will be missing when flashing!!
Had to flash twice, and the procedure worked!
many thanks to everyone!
PS: what tool do you use for your backups?

I personally do not store anything really important on my phone, so no backups apart from Google photos and manually uploading my important files.
Been trying to root my XZ1 compact for a while now. Never knew it'd be this complicated tbh compared to other Android phones like Samsung or OnePlus. I'm following j4nn's guide, but I'm stuck on step 2 where I can't find an older firmare on XperiFirm (all 3 UK firmwares are on pie). I've already bricked my Z5 compact which is stuck in bootloop, can't afford to brick another Sony phone.
Does anyone know where I can find an Oreo firmware to downgrade in order to proceed to the next step?
If it's in a bootloop, then it's not bricked. You probably need to format one of the partitions, maybe data, and/or re-flash matching partitions. I'd just start over from a stock rom for the Z5c (there was no XZ5)
For the XZ1, check out this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...int-wi-fi-calling-step-by-step-guide.4502093/
Where eparr has a link for an Oreo firmware (he needs to root before modding the OEM partition).
Good luck!

Might sound odd but where is the actual link to the firmware? All thats attached is an apk file and pdf's.
Did you look through the PDFs? They're how-to guides, which include a link to the firmware.

So I've been trying to flash a stock rom that I downloaded for the Z5c using Newflasher. However everytime I try to it keeps giving me this error:

Is your phone in flash mode? I think it should be a blue light that you get after plugging in while holding the volume down(? might be up) button.
You could also try a different usb port on the computer (try without a hub) and make sure you have the right drivers installed.
But either way, that error is likely a PC software one. Though it does depend on what the phone is able of doing, which you haven't said.
