If you can't access TWRP for whatever reason, I have patched more of the recent boot images. You can find them as the factory images get released: https://basketbuild.com/devs/squabbi/angler/4core-images

Instructions / Flashing Guide

To use these images in a TL;DR way of saying it, is to flash or boot a patched TWRP image and then flash the BLOD Workaround ZIP provided above last!

TWRP can't Decrypt my Data Partition!

If TWRP cannot decrypt your /data partition, you will need to format the userdata and ensure you do not use a boot image that forces encryption! All stock boot images do by default so be careful!

To format your userdata partition you can do it in either TWRP or the bootloader via fastboot.

Via fastboot: fastboot format userdata

The boot into TWRP, and it should load your internal storage.

OR

Boot into TWRP.

Select Wipe

Then Advanced Wipe

And check 'Internal Storage'

Swipe to wipe.

Reboot back into recovery.

TWRP should load your internal storage.
