[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] Hai Karate:
Oreo is not looking too bad, but this beta version has a few small issues that make it unusable for me. From what I could see, Smart Lock doesn't seem to work, Bluetooth seems to have problems and there's an issue in some games that causes the phone to slow down (try running FPS Test and watch the FPS start at 60 then drop off for some unknown reason). I got stuck in reboot loops a few times while trying to get Smart Lock and Bluetooth to work. I finally decided to go back to Nougat but if an updated build shows up I'll definitely give it a try.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] Moondaughter6:
Thanks, I tried several different attempts to get twrp after the Oreo update and I am having issues either with mount data, or bootloop, I also tried Magisk, and it worked for install but then was stuck in boot loop.

I used 2 different version of twrp just to see if one of them would work. changing the name to recovery.img seems to help custom recovery stick. but it pretty much not usable due to the mount issue.

I tried to repair it,(Mount issue) via twrp,

So what I have now is a running Oreo, with a stock recovery,

Maybe the steps I am using are not correct, any suggestions
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] cieffe54:
The problem is TWRP that does not mount the DATA partition. No one has developed version 3.2 that is compatible with Oreo. I have also sent a private message to [MENTION=1813976]shakalaca[/MENTION] which is the official mantainer for the Z4 but I have not received any reply:(
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] planet9:
If a newer twrp version could solve your problems you may try the twrp-3.2.1 image I compiled for myself. (ZE552KL only!)

I used the device tree and kernel from [MENTION=1813976]shakalaca[/MENTION]'s git and omnirom's android-8.0 twrp sources.

This image is only compatible to the ZE552KL! Of course this is highly experimental and I'm not responsible for any resulting damage!

I didn't test it with oreo but aside from a periodically occuring "E: recv error on uvent" error (which does not affect functionality) it's working well on my phone. ;)

Should anyone still want to try this:

what version is it?

---------- Post added at 09:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM ----------

But the problem is precisely this that does not mount the DATApartition.

For me it was not even possible to restore the apps with Titanium. It does not restore anything.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] planet9:
Just looked into this: Most likely the problem is that android 8 has a new way of encrypting the data partition.

This means our twrp device tree has to be updated to support oreo and simply updating to 3.2 won't solve this issue...

The md5 file can be used to verify the downloaded image before installing it to ensure the file is good ;)
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] planet9:
TWRP 3.2.1 oreo test

I just compiled another twrp version for anyone who wants to test android 8 support :D

This time the kernel and decryption blobs are straight from the asus oreo rom - hopefully resolving the compatibility issues...

This is as much as I can do without having an android 8 device to do debugging on... At least it works on my phone with android 7.1 ;)

Only compatible to the ZE552KL! As always I am not responsible for any damage that may occur! This is experimental!

boot loop

Thanks so much for compiling another version of 3.2.1 Twrp, it installed no problem, was able to make a back up of rom with a many recv error but still back was made. (not sure if it works though).;) was able to install Supersu, and

everything was great until reboot, unfortunately in boot loop :(

[MENTION=8232311]planet9[/MENTION]

Good work man! I flashed your second version of TWRP and then I dirty flashed the beta of oreo from the OP. TWRP can decrypt the data partition as before. Seems ok so far :)

edit: I did have a small issue getting TWRP to "stick" after flashing from oreo. It would go back to stock recovery after reboot so I booted straight into TWRP from fastboot and then flashed magisk. I can't install busybox though, but root explorer seems to work without any issues so no complaints ?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] Hai Karate:
For the few hours I had Oreo installed, I had it rooted with Magisk 14.5 which worked perfectly.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] planet9:
Great to know data decryption worked :D

The "E: recv error on uevent" error can be ignored. It currently also occurs on some official twrp builds since version 3.2.0 and does not affect functionality - at least as far as I can tell.

(This error also occurs with in twrp 3.2 for the Galaxy S7 edge: https://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/development/recovery-official-twrp-hero2lte-3-0-0-0-t3334084/page213)

I just already the backup and restore functionality: Your backup should work fine ;)

SuperSU most likely is to blame for the boot loop. Did you follow step 6 of [MENTION=2447659]snowwolf725[/MENTION]'s rooting guide?: https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-3/help/guide-how-to-root-zenfone-3-ze552kl-t3471524

The ".supersu" file is very important. I'd still suggest you to root this rom with Magisk as it has worked for [MENTION=4530191]Hai Karate[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2824296]wang1chung[/MENTION].

Someone was able to fix the whatsapp issue?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] Moondaughter6:
Hi there do you have a copy of the rom on your SD card? (there are several ways to fix this)

my take on this is, is that you will have to flash the stock recovery image again, along with the boot image, to go back to stock recovery, and then reinstall .75 rom, ( do a factory reset and wipe cache) once that is done and the rom is up and functional go back into your recovery again and reinstall the oreo.

No sir. Windows Moble doesn't handle the display like that. If it's on, and displays the click piece, the display is on. If you lock the phone (hold the red/end button for 3 seconds), if you tap a button the display will turn on half-lit and will display the time.
