This PBRP works fine on my TREBLE supported A7 2018 (sm-a750f/ds).
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Dark8812:
I tested this out. Only thing that doesn't seem to work is the flashlight but that's not a big deal

otherwise this recovery works flawlessly

For anyone wanting to flash this recovery!

You might want to downgrade to the stock November 2020 Security Patch while it's still allowed. As the newest Patch presents you with bootloops and black lines when flashing

edit:

device used A750FN
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] itmr:
Didn't know you can activate flashlight in PBRP, so I didn't notice the issue. I'll try to fix it

About the black lines, I had black lines with ashyx's TWRP and that's why I made this release.

I don't have black lines, but I think that I know how to solve this issue.

Expect an update today/tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] itmr:
Since this release is based on android 8, I thought that moving to android 10 would fix the black lines.

But I had problems with compiling PBRP on android 10. I will try it again later, but until then I made a release using latest kernel and android 8.

Can you tell me if this image boots for you on latest security patch?

kernel source: A750FNPUS5CTI1 kernel from Samsung opensource

download zip

NOTE: I noticed that adb shell doesn't work, but all other adb commands work (don't worry, normal terminal works). I will try to fix this and the flashlight in the next release.
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Dark8812:
I initially installed it on the latest DBT patch

A750FNXXS5CUC2 it booted fine however when flashing it rebooted into the recovery and it showed black lines in the meantime

Edit: I will try the updated version now I misread your request the first time
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Dark8812:
I can't seem to flash it using the newest firmware
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] itmr:
If you are on Windows:

Flash this using Odin3.

If you are on Linux/Mac:

install heimdall

unzip the installer, open the terminal in the extracted folder and run:

heimdall flash --RECOVERY TWRP/recovery.img
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Dark8812:
It seems like there is a misunderstanding. I am able to flash the recovery and I had it for a few days now. However I need to first downgrade to bootloader version 5 of this phone (Security Patch 1st November 2020). For the recovery to work correctly. As the newest version shows black lines and restarts the phone when flashing a file in the recovery. Another thing is I can't flash the file you gave me for odin.

It gives this error:

ID0008 engine v(ID3.1401)
ID0008 File analysis..
ID0008 FAIL! LZ4 is invalid
OSM All threads completed. (succeed 0 failed 1)

Further if you flash it with an already existing recovery you get this error:

Could not do normal boot. Invalid KERNEL LENGHT!

I instead found a workaround and used the one found in the heimdall archive, I extracted the recovery.img file and added it to a new archive named recovery.tar. This is flashable trough odin and successfully installs the recovery
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] itmr:
Sorry about that, I didn't pack the recovery correctly for odin.

Glad you got it to work! Again, sorry!

If you upgrade the firmware to the latest security patch, can you boot this version of PBRP successfully without black lines?
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Dark8812:
On the latest security patch the recovery doesn't work that great. As I said before it restarts the phone into the recovery when flashing and also with certain compatible files it shows black lines when flashing them.
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] xxfDeadStar88x:
I can't flash it using TWRP. just stuck. Is it okay to flash it using TWRP image install? I'll just extract the zip and get the recovery.img
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] itmr:
Hello, sorry I didn't answer for some time.

I made a new build with an extracted kernel from latest security patch (A750FNXXU5CUD3). Can you tell if it works?

kernel source should be in samsung opensource

download

It seems that also other devices have the same issue. Yes, flashing using TWRP image install will work. I also suggest you to copy the zip files from PBRP/tools to /sdcard/PBRP/tools.
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] xxfDeadStar88x:
Thanks bro! It works absolutely fine on my SM-A750GN/DS device. Thanks for this wonderful recovery!
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Chris7897:
Hello guys, i am a new XDA member and i have troubles rooting my samsung galaxy a7 2018 with april 2021 security patch, i find this new recovery but i didn't understand this point

Flash the recovery.img by heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img

what i have to do after extract my PBRB ZIP?
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] itmr:
If you use GNU+Linux/Mac, install heimdall (https://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/) and run heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img

If you use Windows, compress recovery.img to a tar archive and flash the tar archive in odin AP slot
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Chris7897:
With 7zip? I tried as you said but when i boot into Pbrp, screen goes black and my phone was blocked
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] lcasick:
For those who flash through Odin3, I'll leave a link to the .tar file with recovery. It would be nice if the author added a link to this file and a manual to odin3.

Download recovery.tar

(Sorry if my English is bad, unfortunately I don't know him well)
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] drbsin:
Blank screen (like switched off phone) on my SM-A750F/DS after flashing, running on A750FXXU5CUD3.

Found hard time to access download mode to recover.

Even Orangefox SAR behaved same with this ROM update.

But, previous PBRP worked at least. However, setting lockscreen with password or fingerprint kept rebooting in a loop until flashed rmpass.zip.
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] xxfDeadStar88x:
have you tried format data? data partition will be corrupted after you flash the custom recovery. format data first before doing anything else.

[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] blazzer12:

Hi @drbsin, I've flashesd this same "corrupted" recovery of 23-06-2021, and currently i'm in the same shoes you were in :( ; blank screen, power button seems dead, power+volume up likewise, However with power+volume down the phone kinda start, it vibrates and give me the A7 logo then blank screen immediatly, so how did you manage to resolve this situation ?

Any idea is really appreciated​

Will you please make a new working version for the latest security patch ( September 2021 in my case ) ? , Or is there some kind of difficulty in doing so?
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] animegamer4422:
Well i found the solution

Since I was on firmware bit version 5 and my phone's version is INS (Indian)

I needed to flash the stock firmware with bit version 5 and security patch before September

I found one such firmware on sammobile and downloaded it (couldn't post the link since it's not allowed)

Anyways all went well and I got TWRP working again but still I couldn't install PBRP as it was stuck flashing and I also got the same result in oragefox recovery

I flashed the PBRP zip and it just kept flashing and never finished so i needed to force restart the phone to get it out of that stuck flashing

If you have a new build of PBRP please do upload it as i am willing to test it out

how to get twrp working bro i get black bars
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] MyNameIsGreat:
I guess, I am having kind of the same issue as you have described here. The guide says to "flash a zip" after flashing the recovery image and after booting into the recovery. However when I select the zip and swipe to flash, the log says "Fix or patch script found" and then nothing. Progress bar remains empty and no further logs appear.

Is your problem the same? Did you or anyone else fix it?

Also, you have mentioned that you managed to install TWRP. How were you able to, especially if you are on the 5th bootloader?
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Traijan:
Hello. I'm new in playing with smartphones around and flashing roms and all the other things.

But I wanted to learn, and began with something like the Android 12 Beta.

I found this article: Install Android 12 GSI

I used the ARM64 because after the command to check the architecture I got: arm64-v8a outputted.

I tried it with gApps and without. After every command I reboot and after that I'm in a bootloop. I get the Huawei Logo and after that the "warning" that I have an unlocked bootloader and it can't be trusted. After a bit, I get the Huawei Logo again and so on. After 3 times I guess eRecovery comes.

Those are the outputs ov ervery command. Did I do something wrong? Or is the Huawei P10 Lite not able to flash the Androdi 12 Beta?

I appreciate any help!
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] speedson:
Hi...

first....the untrustet warning is normal even the bootloader is unlocked. Thats just ah info!

sec...did you come from Stock Rom or any other custom Rom and if custom then was this rom rootet. if yes (root) then you need to unroot first or you get bootloop. for unroot you must restore the stock ramdisk image thats the boot image. If you have no backup (btw greatest fail you could do by developing any Device) the recover stock Rom with erecovery and after initia boot activate dev options and usb debugging again. After that start from a clean stock Rom.

next...did you encrypt your internal storage with the fstab.hi6250b.zip and reboot to TWRP and then format Data then wipe Cache, Dalvik, Data, internal Storage and System then (Method a) reboot again to TWRP and flash the Rom. Yor also can also (Method b) not reboot to Bootloader not to TWRP and flash it with fastboot command.

But it is possible that the GSI Rom Android 12 actually not compatible with p10 lite. Its beta State and gapps for A12 would be beta to i think. So my thinking is just to wait for the official release what no garat for compatibility with p10 lite is but then the Rom isnt beta anymore.

[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Traijan:
Hey, I used the default rom installed on my huawei p10 lite.

I did a complete clean install yet.

Before that I used twrp to install it (because I thought it worked with .img) and after that I startet from a clean install of the default rom again and did the linked tutorial.

I'm not root on this device, I just have a unlocked bootloader.

I also didn't encrypted my internal storage. Do I have to do it?

What you mean with not reboot to bootloader? I did the commands in the link on fastboot (holding vol - and connect to pc)

Do you have an idea what I can do? I really would like to test android 12.

I have 16.7 up and running. With gapps though, and still without Magisk. Sideloading Magisk 23.0 gives me an error in LOS recovery.

Either:

1) I'll patch boot.img directly, or

2) I'll try to change LOS recovery from the 21210619 version to the 20210409 version that is suggested around here.

Q1 How to get the correct boot.img?

Q2 Is it safe to downgrade LOS recovery? Shall I sideload it or install manually with "fastboot fast boot recovery.img"?

Thanks again for the support. I basically solved everything, and I must say that the ROM is beautiful and very pleasant to have.

if you are bored from pie systemui, switch to corvus is a good idea. but wait the 16.8 that is full a11 fw. if you prefere statem stability and battery performance stay on pie. you can add some function by installing magisk. it's compatible with pie.

Which recovery/method do you use to flash?

The Mi A3 is my wife's phone and mine are both POCOs. I'm less familiar with the ab structure and just want to be able to get her into Corvus without bricking (My POCO F1 runs Corvus and I'll never change!) I'll have to see if her Mi A3 - Android One is at A10 or A11. This is my main dilemma, as most custom recoveries say they only work with A10.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] wetito:
for a11fw only los recovery can be used. if you are on a10 i suggest you update to a11. most of latest custom rom are for a11. there's a good choice of good roms. and all are easy to install with los recovery. they work also starting from another custom rom, not necessary stock like previous versions. now i'm on radiant and i think i will stay on it for long time
