[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
You can't.

There is no TWRP for 8.1 so it isn't possible.

This phone has no traditional recovery. Recovery is part of boot.

That means that the boot image needs to be patched for tarp and still be able to boot the system.

Currently, or at least until 8.1 is no longer beta you will not see a tarp that can stay permanently and coexist with 8.1.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Airwolf79:
If you wanna flash a custom ROM, you can use TWRP (LOS 15.1 and AOSIP are both 8.1 ROMs that can be flashed with TWRP), but I suggest you get very comfortable with ADB and fastboot BEFORE you wipe your phone. As Tech_head said, TWRP gets flashed to the boot, not recovery, so you have to flash TWRP with fastboot each time you want to boot into it, it won't stick.

This phone is not real friendly for flashaholics. Also, be prepared to lose EVERYTHING on your phone if you start flashing custom ROMs, because if you start having problems or want to flash back to stock, you're going to need to wipe all your data (fastboot -w) (this wipes all your media too!). In fact, if you want to flash a custom ROM, you should wipe everything anyway, and don't count on TWRP being able to complete a nandroid backup or restore one. I haven't been able to once. Good luck, this phone's a *****!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gimpy1:
Airwolf79, I am a "semi" flashaholic.. I flash updates and different roms, sometimes three or four times a week. I have always used twrp and titanium backup to do so, which makes it very easy to do so. Essential does not let you use this process? That is the gist of what I have been getting on these essential threads.

When you said it was a "b***h", is that a good or bad thing?:confused:, I'm an old guy and really don't understand your meaning. I was about ready (and may still) pull the trigger on this phone. But, I need to know what I am getting into.:).

I want to get a good rootable phone (Verizon), but they are getting very pricey if I go off contract (lg v30, pixel 2).

I really am not understanding the "adb", "fast boot", and"side load" process. Is it that much more of a difficult or time consuming process than using twrp?

Is the use of a computer mandatory?

Thx.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Airwolf79:
Its not that Essential is blocking any development of TWRP. Development for this phone, and all A/B partition phones for that matter, are really minimal right now, but especially the Essential because so few units were sold. Until Project Treble really gets going and more manufacturers start shipping A/B partition devices, you won't see much development for this phone. Eventually, someone will solve the issues with TWRP, but I doubt well ever see a lot of custom ROMs. When I say this phone's a *****, it's because of the issues with TWRP more than anything. Dirty flashing isn't working for me on AOSIP, Nandroid backups don't work, and flashing firmware can only be done using fastboot AFAIK (yes, with a computer). If you're not computer savvy, then you better pass on this phone if you want to run custom ROMs. It's a great phone even stock though, so up to you if you can settle for stock or u wanna learn more about ADB and fastboot, it's worth it IMO. If u want a phone recent that has good development, go with the OnePlus 5T, but even that phone can be a bit tricky for flashing, as I said, TWRP is not very compatible with Oreo 8.1 yet for any phone. You have to disable your pin/fingerprint each time you boot TWRP because they haven't figured out how to decrypt 8.1 yet. This is all common knowledge if you follow the development threads for these phones. The old days of flashing five ROMs in a day are over man, at least for the time being.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Skripka:
A) LG phones are not root friendly. Only certain SKUs of any model (1 in maybe 8) can even bootloader unlock. Indeed, even rooting is problematic and only the result of security "flaws". If you are a flash-a-holic, you definitely don't want an LG. Or a Samsung, or any phone sold with carrier-specific hardware or firmware....IIRC the Samsung S8 took a calendar year to root.

B) The technical hurdle here on the Essential is also present on Pixel phones. Getting a Pixel will not free you from this.

The A/B partition scheme and boot layout is shared by Pixel and Essential. The easy flashing processes went away with the Nexus program. A/B isn't that bad-but you must learn fastboot and ADB commands. There aren't a whole lot of common one you really need, but you need familiarity with the toolset.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gimpy1:
Thx, I will do some googling and reading.:)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tittieslover:
The easiest way i found is to flash TWRP, Flash dump for your phone, then flash 8.1 boot.img so it don't bootloop. The recovery won't stay but you will be stock.

Download the dump for your phone from there

https://xdaforums.com/essential-phone/development/stock-7-1-1-nmj20d-t3701681

So flash TWRP

Flash dump from internal sd

flash stock boot image
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Neez333:
I mean no offense by this at all but one would think even a "semi-flashoholic" would be fairly well versed with Fastboot and ADB. Im curious how you have much experience with twrp if you dont know what those two things mean. Unless of course youre coming from an S3 or something and especially someone thats on verizons network. Theyve been pretty famously against unlocking bootloaders since i can remember. Also, it doesnt matter if youre buying off contract or get your phone through your carrier. Youre going to pay the same price in the long run either which way, and contrary to many believers that are stuck in that mind set of "they used to give free phones away or at most like $200" you were still paying the full 699.99-899.99 as you are now days . so my suggestion, buy straight from the source (google, lg, samsung, or even off amazon) and pay with a credit card because especially if you have a zero interest for x amount of time its going to be cheaper in most cases and you dont have to have that out of pocket cash for taxes on the device to pay that day. Ive worked for 3 out of 4 of the top carriers in my life and trust me, its the way to go. Also yes if you are looking for a root friendly phone to flash away on, this thing is not going to be your best choice either. Kick ass phone but not very developer/flash friendly.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gimpy1:
Well, after considerable thought, I finally decided against going with the Essential or any unlocked bl.

I just received my LG (vs996) from Verizon day before yesterday.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Skripka:
Good luck with that...just dumped my v20. LG can suck it.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gimpy1:
Well, to each his own, I guess.:)

Pretty nice phone, but, in still learning to do things without root.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Skripka:
No root is the least of it...stuck on 7.0.0 forever, and its first and likely last os upgrade isn't likely to come until June 2018 at the soonest.

Pathetic for a supposed flagship.

I was an excited fool, and paid new retail at release. Never again am I buying an LG

Can i install an apk in the last version of Pacefied ?

i cant find the option "Launcher AppList" in the LAB.

Help me pls
[Amazfit] shadowcaster666:
I used the installer for watch droid to enable the app list. You need to have you watch connected to your PC with ADB drivers installed.

There were also a few windows tools for the Pace that allow enabling the app list, search here on XDA.

Edit:

Found one

https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/amazfit/tool-huami-amazfit-tool-unlockadvanced-t3739828

There is an option in this tool to enable the app list, if it still does not show up try disabling one or more of the built in widgets (through the phone app).

Hey, I'm running the official Oreo build and I keep having this problem of the AoD randomly turning off completely and refusing to reactivate until I reboot the phone. Sometimes it will come back as randomly as it disappeared, but I can't really recognize a pattern since it always bugs me enough so I just manually reboot. Any solution or at least explanation?

Hello guys,

I have a strange issue with my 5t, a few days ago it started with the Sound output over the speaker athene bottom while in call. If I Press the Button to switch to the earpice speaker, nothing happens, same for Bluetooth devices.

I tried to reflash my Rom and disable everything that makes sense for me.

I didn't do any change to the System and installed only two Apps when the issue occured.

Any ideas on how to fix this or did anyone have the same problem? The search engine didn't bring up anything useful.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gp4vel-:
thanks for reply. after factory reset i will lost my root?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warrior1988:
su is part of the system once rooted it becomes system files. So root will still be there after just a factory reset. Now if you format your system that is different it will erase all files/folders.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rainman74:
A factory reset does only wipe data and cache, not system partition, which contains su binary (root) ;)

But I don't think your error is related to that. It seems to me as if your Fire TV is no longer correctly connected to your Amazon account. Check it on "Manage Your Content and Devices" page at Amazon. If your Fire TV doesn't appear there anymore, you just have to log in again on the Fire TV with your Amazon login.

It could also be possible that your device/account has been blocked by Amazon. But this is very unlikely if you have not cheated on your account.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rainman74:
Apps in the Amazon Store are own versions that have been adapted for Fire TV devices or have been specially developed. These have nothing to do with the official Android versions, but of course they run on every Android device, as long as the corresponding Amazon Store functions are available there (e. g. Amazon AppStore or Amazon Underground). But not every app needs these Amazon Store features.

I flashed MiUi rom with TWRP (In which portrait mode was working before)... But now, even in this rom the portrait mode isn't working...

As previously advised you are removing root by factory resetting the device.

The integrity check is failing because you have made modifications to the device.

I'm guessing the root method you are using is cf_autoroot?

My advice is to flash supersu with twrp.

It's important to format the data partition then apply the dmverity/encryption patch when rooting with supersu or you can simply FORMAT data then flash Magisk which will do it all for you.
