[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Captain_Throwback:
Any issues flashing zips? I'm seeing an issue on the A9 with my recent TWRP build where the device asserts aren't being read properly. Want to confirm that's not an issue here. It might only be a problem with Lineage/AOSP-based ROMs, though.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] nkk71:
That problem is due to the legacy property format, which were deprecated in Android 8.0, so any 8.0 updater binary will fail to read properties in TWRP 7.1 branch or below, guess that's one of the reasons Dees_Troy made them optional in the new branch

Edit : or you can rebuild with the disable legacy property flag can't remember the exact flag name :o
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Captain_Throwback:
Oh isn't there a check box on the zip flashing page that enables/disables this, though? I thought there was in the new builds...
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] nkk71:
In the TWRP 8.0 branch there is now, in 7.1 branch there's only the build flag.

The only adverse effect of using the build flag is if some flashable zip is using a pre Android 5.0 update binary.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Captain_Throwback:
Ah, so it'll be there in my unofficial build, since I used the 8.0 tree ;).
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] nkk71:
:D
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] dhonan13:
everytime i go to flash the recovery image it says its not a file
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Captain_Throwback:
You sure you have a good download? Did you confirm the checksum?
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] nkk71:
Of course it's a file :p

Now, :p apart, who / where / when does it say it's not a file? Any kind of output or log?

And on the off chance you are referring to the infamous "cannot load" then your filename is just wrong (possibly a twrp.img.img thingy)

But that is just a guess, nothing we can do without a log/command prompt output
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] dhonan13:
HTC U11 will not boot into recovery

So after i flashed twrp. img it will no longer let me boot into recovery mode. it seems like it will and then just kicks me back to bootloader

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

The img i downloaded from twrp kept saying the file didnt exsist, it looked like a disc when i downloaded it. So i tried the download link here and it flashed perfect but now it wont let me reboot into recovery at all

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

Can not load it is sir
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Captain_Throwback:
fastboot getvar all output, please
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] dhonan13:
sorry

I have no clue what that means im sorry. im pretty much a noob again its been years since i flashed a recovery
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Captain_Throwback:
On an unrelated note, 3.1.1-1 has been officially released with the updated kernel. So you can upgrade from the unofficial version at your leisure.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] jelive:
Updated with official twrp app...boy easy process! Thx.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Electronic Punk:

[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Captain_Throwback:
No.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] jelive:
Getting alot of zip file is corrupt...know they r good files??

Nvm...even tho have flashed files previously they had indeed been corrupted. All on sd card so ran card error check and no errors...hope not going to be ongoing issue.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Captain_Throwback:
Do you happen to be running the EAS kernel?
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] jelive:
Not now but was...reinstalled stk kernel via Lee rebooted and then reflashed Lee to get system updated for wlan. But now not so sure stk kernel took when I did it...could residual of EAS b there still? Note currently I cannot get stk kernel to stick if selected in Lee flash (r59 or r60 version). Thinking maybe should flash stk kernel img in twrp reboot then reflash Lee to cleanup?
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Captain_Throwback:
The EAS kernel uses exfat-nofuse, which isn't a stock implementation on the U11. In the past, I've noticed that using this driver has caused SD card corruption, which is why I asked. I mentioned this to [MENTION=3428502]Freak07[/MENTION] but he didn't get any other reports of this happening, so I didn't bother mentioning it.

Once you format the card and flash a different kernel, you shouldn't have any issues (you might not even have any issues on the EAS kernel again, but it's possible). Flashing stock boot.img in TWRP will get you back to stock kernel.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] jelive:
Only was going to do stk img in twrp for possible cleanup...necessary? Need to reformat sd card? Or r these both overkill...
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Captain_Throwback:
I know the stock kernel option in LeeDroid wasn't working on the latest version, so you will need to flash it via some other means. Also you will need to reformat the SD card to prevent further corruption.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Freak07:
I didn’t experience this issue myself yet. I rebooted much and flashed many kernels from me. But that doesn’t mean it will never happen.

however with my kernel before the caf rebase I ran into issues where I got a folder inside a folder copied continuously. like ext_sdcard/ab/a got ext_sdcard/ab/a/a/a/a/a/a/..... Couldn’t delete “a” and that caused mediascanner to never stop scanning. Solution was to move the “a” out of ’ab” in recovery and afterwards it was deletable.

Ideally I could make the stock texfat module work, but I didn’t find a way. If anybody finds a way I’m happy to implement it.

TWRP Asian Version

Anyone have twrp asian version?

Download available for europe and americas only.

please help..?
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
That's just two different mirrors for TWRP to be downloaded from. It is the official TWRP for HTC U11 devices.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] PillowMetal:
I realize I can use the first method to make a backup of recovery, and this creates a full 64K image of the recovery block, but I used to use the second method (extract from the OTA) to just get the exact recovery.img file and size. But this no longer works because the firmware.zip inside the OTA seems to be encrypted and can't be opened.

How are people getting that exact recovery file on this phone... is there a way to decrypt the firmware.zip?

EDIT: I also use to get the signed hboot from the firmware.zip this way too (to go back stock after removing red text, etc.)

EDIT #2: I realize these files are all downloadable in the great collection thread, but I want to be able to do it myself the next time an OTA comes around
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Search for the HTC RUU decrypt tool and you'll find the answer to your question.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] nkk71:
Makes absolutely zero difference what the file size is, and since you do have the option of "fastboot boot", I recommend you use it.

I haven't looked at the OTAs recently to say whether or not they are encrypted.

WARNING: Do not flash modded aboots/hboots/hosds on the U11. S-OFF is only temporary and if you flash a modded once you can say bye bye to your phone on the next reboot!
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Signor Rossi:
Hi, is this TWRP version also supporting the U11 Life ?
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] p50kombi:

Oreo just came out for the Taiwan version (I have DUGL dual sim) current TWRP isn't working (as to be expected I guess).

After flashing twrp-3.1.1-1-ocn.img it can boot into recovery but is asking for password to access data partition and the phone locks up here.

Thanks for the hard work

EDIT: ADB works............ Logs attached
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] goodman_east:

[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Captain_Throwback:
3.1.1-2_UNOFFICIAL with Oreo decrypt support posted!

A new unofficial TWRP has been posted to the Downloads tab with Oreo decrypt support. It also works with Nougat decryption. And it includes several yet-to-be-merged fixes/updates. See the OP for all relevant changes and issues.

Since it uses a prebuilt kernel, I had to break "reboot recovery" functionality to allow touch to work when the recovery is flashed. Once kernel source is available, I can patch it properly.

One last note - I'll continue updating TWRP as needed, but I won't be posting anymore on the forums once I reach 20,000 posts (it seems like a good number to go out on). I'll also be asking the mods to retire my titles. It's been fun, but this has all become too time-consuming and I need to spend time on more important things. I appreciate all the support I've received over the years from the community. I'll still be around, just behind the scenes now ;).

Hey Cap,

hope you are having a nice retirement, especially on day 1, told you nobody ever reads the OP, and even if they do that, those FAQs are completely useless.

Not to mention the last couple of pages.

I'm not sure if you are familiar with the saying, but proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Have a nice laugh at this (possibly even a smirk, not sure how people interpret the latter, but it's mean in a good way)

And I haven't captured the OTA for the HK region .400 , meh...so now I'll have to wait for someone to capture it so recovery image can be obtained.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
Well, temp booting with Oreo didn't work out, but with stock ota recovery I'm now over flashing it on a stock HK device.

All works nicely with encryption, backup, restore as much as I've tried with boot partition.

Thanks for the build! :good::good:
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] nkk71:
So just a black screen when you fastboot boot it? (but the command prompt doesn't give an error right?)

Guess if you're in the *mood* you could try fastboot boot'ing the old official version (obviously decryption won't work), but at any rate I would guess we'll need to wait for kernel sources to become available.

I wonder if you fasbtoot boot boot.img (your currently running boot.img which you could backup using twrp) would work, in which case it's probably the Oreo kernel being used in the unofficial twrp, which works for some, but not others.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
Yes, after executing successfully the loading and kickstarting the boot then exiting to prompt without error, the phone stays black, kernel seems to be half booted as blinking of buttons work upon long power.

I'll give a whirl with the official twrp nougat img and report back.

It would be fine if I can boot it, dump to the temporary internal disk space and adb pull the recovery, then over-flash it without the need for an extracted one. Very good idea.:good:
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] nkk71:
Careful with the official boot.img, if you have anything modified due to verity, so if you're running something custom, probably best to take a backup of currently booting one in twrp and try that.

Anyway, at your discretion, just guessing it's a kernel issue, but can't say for sure.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
ah hmm i mean the official twrp image...meh :) so just what you described.

EDIT: oh, I see, I was replacing boot.img with official twrp image in my mind, lol... haven't thought of booting boot.img instead....
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
oh my, now again, I think booting the "nougat" twrp image might not work because of the issue that happens with Oreo firmware and battery percentage problem with Nougat System and Boot image...

Should try. Probably just won't boot, or if booted, I could backup the Oreo recovery before flashing with Oreo twrp...
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
Hmm well, one try:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-1-ocn.img

Same black screen. I should try to fastboot boot boot.img ....

And same with stock bootloader / stock boot img / stock system HK

downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.801s]
