That's too late, lol. But it's still not bricked, I just can't load TWRM, other things work fine. I guess the only thing we can do here is waiting the correct version. Danke!

Anyway, whether someone rooted it already? I saw this post but not sure if it safe.

So I sold my u11 after ruu it, though even after ruu the u11 was still showing a warning on boot that booloader is unlocked. I forgot to re-lock it back then and sold it, would it has take away the warning message on boot?

I am asking because I will root my u11+ soon
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] gnabtib8:
Relocking the bootloader will remove the splash screen but it will say "relocked" status in download mode.

[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] BolecDST:
Just flashed the recovery, everything is working fine and I can also confirm that you can fastboot boot the recovery, just make sure to do it from the bootloader, not the download mode.

My kernel and recovery logs are attached to this post. One question though, is it normal, that the recovery is not asking me to root the phone on a reboot? I hoped I could root it with TWRP.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] schmeggy929:
TWRP is the recovery, get Root by SuperSU or MagiskSU
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] BolecDST:
I am 100% sure there was an option to do that on my previous phones, that's how I rooted my Desire 620 for example, but thanks for the tip. It actually makes more sense to go with Magisk for SafetyNet reasons.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Captain_Throwback:
On older versions of Android it still may, but not since Marshmallow, since systemless root has become the new standard.

TWRP is really just a recovery, so you can choose whatever root solution you want (my preference is Magisk).

P.S. Screenshot in TWRP is Power+Volume Down...unless it was your intention to take a picture of TWRP on the phone ;).
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] nkk71:
Ever since this TWRP will not ask to install SuperSU, and as mentioned previously it's due to systemless root being needed.

Take your pick, imho, it's also not *really* something meant for TWRP.

TWRP is a means to flash what you need/wish, it's not supposed to do everything you may (or not) want ;)
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] BolecDST:
Yes, just wanted to confirm it is actually flashed on the device itself. :)

That's very true, don't get me wrong, I wasn't complaining about it. :) I'm off to get Magisk, thanks for the suggestions guys.

I read the thread and I don't see my problem so I'll ask...

I'm not new to this and have done it many times on other phones, but I can't seem to get my U11 to flash recovery. I got and down to flashing twrp.img , but everytime the the computer says sending, my phone get stuck on starting download. it's lit up like I should be able to push the power button to start the download, but it doesn't respond. Did I miss some thing? I cut and pasted every command.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Did you flash in bootloader or download mode? fastboot mode literally spoken is download mode nowadays, thus TWRP won't flash if phone is in bootloader mode.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Tugboat Tony:
Flashed in download mode. My phone never gets pass the next screen "Start downloading". The computer says

sending 'recovery' but never changes. On bootloader screen it won't even try to flash the recovery. I tried....
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Did you use latest fastboot provided on the HTCDev homepage, or did you use the official fastboot from the Android SDK?

Edit: think we should stop that OT discussion in here and continue in a separate Q&A thread as this hasn't to do anything with TWRP in general.

I have an issue with TWRP since I flashed an Oreo-based RUU (2.33.401.10). Booting to TWRP no longer works, or at least doesn't work correctly. Prior to flashing the RUU (FW was Nougat), the following commands worked perfectly:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-2-ocn.img

However now it looks like either it hangs, or I am simply getting a black screen when I run those commands. Does anyone know of a solution?
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Aldo101t:
fastboot flash recovery(name of file).img is the correct command
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] SidneyD:
I am not trying to flash TWRP. I am trying to boot to it without flashing.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Aldo101t:
go to bootloader and press the vol buttons to select boot to recovery(adb reboot bootloader) press power to select

or fastboot reboot recovery
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] gnabtib8:
Booting works with some and not with others. It's a known issue and you need to extract the stock recovery from the latest OTA you can get or see if anyone else has posted the right stock recovery in the firmware thread.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] SidneyD:
There are no problems entering the stock recovery. That works fine. However since the stock recovery doesn't offer any backup functionality I would like to be able to boot to TWRP like I could in the past.

I read that [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] has retired so I don't have any hope that TWRP for the U11 will be updated anymore, but I was hoping that someone had a workaround for this bug.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] gnabtib8:
I never said there were issues entering recovery. Fastboot boot command and entering recovery are two completely different things
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] SidneyD:
Then I am missing something. How does getting a copy of the stock recovery help resolve the bug of being unable to boot a TWRP image?
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] gnabtib8:
It is merely a workaround if you aren't able to use the fastboot boot command to be able to backup the recovery first. Some users including me will only get a black screen if you attempt to use this command therefore you have no way to backup your current stock recovery before flashing TWRP
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Aldo101t:
you have to reflash recovery (twrp) After the ruu, it was overwriten, now you reflash recovery, fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-2-ocn.img

Can anybody help?

My HTC U11 still run on Nougat.

Yesterday I want to update with the newer version of Nougat (Not Oreo)

I already make a data backup with TWRP, big backup 22Gb.

Then I update the new stock Rom from PC, it had no problem.

Go to download mode, and then install TWRP again with ADB from PC.

Go to TWRP Recovery, it still works.

The last thing I do is to try to restore the 22Gb data back to my phone.

And it always get error on 9% with "extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255"

I already change with difference TWRP from 3.1.1.0 to 3.2.3.0, still the same.

Restore to previous version of Nougat with TWRP (system, system image, boot image, recovery). Try to restore backup data again with no luck.

Try to check MD5 with the backup data, and it said matched, no corrupt.

Already try searching in the web, but with no solution too.

I've in this forum, foe there's a leak, some string (tar) or something...., and needed to be fixed with Hex editor. And some guys already make a C11 program to do it, but only for 2 Gb files. Mine is 22 Gb, impossible to do it manually..

Anybody can help?

[MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] What are the odds of being able to update our recovery to 3.2.3-1 for decrypting Pie ROMs? (Since we've gotten few in recent weeks that actually work)

I don't mind doing the work myself, but I've never actually built TWRP and didn't know if you could offer any advice. Should I try to build it "standalone" or just lump it in with my ROM tree? Are the device specific files in your github repo ok to use with newer versions, since the partition arrangement and fstab doesn't seem to have changed from 7.1 to 9.0. We can still use the 3.2.3-0 version to wipe/format/flash Pie ROMs, just can't decrypt an encrypted data partition.

-- added --

After looking further into things, I guess the proper place to get source is omnirom's github. All good. I'm still guessing that the fstab stuff is the same as it was for the nougat version, as well as device specific things like SDCard setting, portrait-hdpi, etc. I'm hoping NOT to run into big trouble with compiling a kernel for it, but I guess I'll figure something out, lol.

[MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION], I think version TWRP 3.2.3-1_CPTB-20190130-01 is buggy, at least for me. It flashes AOSP ROM without issues, ROM then boots up. However, when you do a clean flash/install of Sense ROM, then ROM does not boot up though it said flashed OK. It looks like boot image wasn't installed at all. Had to revert recovery back to the latest official which flashed Sense based ROM without problems.

[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] The_Walking_Playground:
Hi,

Well, if you were posting for the users, wouldn't you want them to have a fixed version, so they wouldn't have to deal with the "bug" you reported? If you posted logs, maybe Captain_Throwback would be able to easily fix the issue and post an updated build. Btw, the OP here says this under "Bug Reporting"

Hopefully someone else will be able to test and provide logs so it can be looked into.

TWP

EDIT: I'm thinking about this further and I'm pretty sure the issue is the ROM zip. It's probably explicitly calling busybox to flash the boot.img, which isn't present in the latest TWRP build. It should just be calling the dd binary directly, so it doesn't matter which binary the symlink points to. I believe I've seen that mentioned (somewhere) before.
