SOLVED!!!---TWRP Porter works ok but white screen after flashing ported recovery

Alexanderlll · 01-22-2019, 12:14 AM

weird, always work, but not this time in nougat sc9832a, flashed and a white screen appears and then, reboots to system, i tried to manually port with Android Image Studio but an error shows something like offset and other related partition stuff, the recovery is a RAW backup image with 20mb, ive always port recoveries with the porter tool but always are .pac extracted images, not RAW full backup, the extracted .pac recoveries always be 14mb, 15mb and so on, not a full RAW image filled the hole partition, i tried to extract recovery.img with root but always gave me a full 20mb RAW img, how can i extract just 14mb/15mb/16mb recovery.img? i think the size are the problem or the image type, i appreciated all your help, i really need a TWRP for restore build.prop and other files if i mess it up, thanks a lot!

whether its raw or not shouldn't be a problem. flash back your stock recovery dump lets know if you're able to boot into recovery mode
BTW how did you flash the custom recovery?

the recovery dump RAW .img are fine, flash ok in fastboot and booted ok, flash ok with root and rashr, booting in recovery normally and everything works, and the TWRP Porter says porting ok and you need to patch VM-verity but i have root with patched Magisk boot.img, the phone boots ok even with the bad-ported recovery flashed
