Introduction:

Team Win Recovery Project or TWRP for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It's a fully touch-driven user interface, with no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML-driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Key Features:

Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll

XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout true theming!

Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots

Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore

Ability to choose to compress backups now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)

Onscreen keyboard

Easy selection of internal/external storage

In addition to the above new features, TWRP features a scripting engine that allows an app to send commands to the recovery for the recovery to perform during startup. We call this scripting engine OpenRecoveryScript. This engine will be put to use immediately in the GooManager app. GooManager will be able to install recoveries automatically for most supported devices. The app will also let you choose to install multiple zips from within Android, wipe, and run a backup.

We are looking for other talented developers, themers, and device maintainers if they are interested in helping with a free, open-source project.

If you have made your own TWRP build for an unsupported device, please let us know. We might add your build to the list of unofficial builds. Bear in mind that we are working hard to add more devices and we may add your device to our official build list later.

This is for OFFICIAL and BETA builds of TWRP for the Lenovo Z5 Pro GT

Test Downloads:

https://osdn.net/projects/twrp-for-heart/releases/

Platform Tools (adb/fastboot):

https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html#download

Normal Installation:

Please visit the TWRP website and follow the instructions for zippo as it is the same instructions as heart which are found here

Keeping bootloader locked Installation:

QFIL to heart ZUI 11.5.247 which can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WxUAfXAnRmV-QvDLTmBItJEXnY3WMtDS/view

Second, ensure your bootloader is locked and that it boots into system fine.

Download the twrp-locked-bootloader zip and extract it and follow the instructions in the image file.

To out your phone in EDL mode? Power it off and then hold both the volume down and up at the same time and plug in a USB cable from your PC to your device. If it is successful, it will show up in the QFIL app as one of the COM ports you can select. NOTE! Once your device is in EDL mode, you have less than 2 minutes to QFIL before it disables flashing, so it is best to have the QFIL app set up and ready to flash before you put your device into EDL mode. Otherwise? You will need to reboot the device and try again.

After performing the QFIL, force a reboot to bootloader with your power and volume down buttons and then reboot to recovery. Congratulations! You now have a locked bootloader and TWRP installed. NOTE! If you reboot to system after the QFIL? The stock ROM will overwrite TWRP, so it is important that after QFIL you immediately reboot to bootloader then recovery.

Nandroid backup/restore
