TWRP Recovery
TWRP Recovery
(31-12-2019, 05:25 AM)Bhupender890 Sir I flashed sys.img choosing system image as partition but phone couldn't boot to home screen it was stuck on Tecno logo. I flashed only system image for testing if it works because I thought if system partition has modified somehow after magisk root then replacing system can resolve the issue of installing OTA, now because phone didn't boot as expected so do I have to flash all partitions available in install image option to get expected results or the build no. of the firmware must match to the current build beacuse I flashed sys.img from an old one which is available on your website because no other option left . Also I didn't wipe any partition before flashing beacuse you didn't answer my question related to wipe section so I thought maybe wiping is not necessary .
I searched on YouTube but most of videos explain custom rom installation even googled but same results found. If I had any help from youtube and goole i wouldn't bother you again.

Can I post the link ?????
Now the main thing is that I should flash the boot img of the same build to boot properly, the exact question came to my mind when the phone did not boot on the home screen and I was going to flash the boot but then I thought you had already told me that the stock boot will not allow recovery to work so I thought if I flash the boot and the phone still does not boot properly and maybe recovery also stops working, then I have to go for PC.
So should I flash boot with system also to test if it works or not.
And yes I did factory reset as well because my common sense inspired me to do so.

I am mentioning about SP Flash Tool because I don't want to bother you by telling the whole story of what I did and what went wrong, so you just answer this question..
(03-01-2020, 06:42 AM)Bhupender890 I think my twrp's flash image feature doesn't work as intended. I mean to say I flashed boot img from v166 build and tried to boot up the device because I was testing if recovery works if I replace magisk patch to stock and I found that recovery was still working fine but device had started given warning of dm_verity and offered me to whether restart or boot into fastboot then I booted up my device to recovery and flashed magisk zip and did restart and device booted successfully up to home screen but then I flashed system img but it got stuck on boot logo then I reflashed sys img by wiping system first and tried to restart phone but TWRP said that no OS installed that means it didn't flash system it just pretends to flash but not in fact, [also when I flash sys img it just shows flashing sys but not any scripts run as happens in other case when we flash something in twrp and after few seconds it shows sys img flash successful]. After that I tried to restore system but TWRP started showing me an error 25 and wasn't restoring backup then I tried to restore partition one by one and successfully restored boot and data but system was still not restoring so I thought it must be due to no system available so I flashed system only from old build via sp and tried restoring system and successfully restored the whole backup.
So now what should I do ?
I hope you will understand what I want to say, yes I can use Google translate but it misunderstands a lot of meaning due to the technical terms used in such type of conversation which makes translation even worse.

I also tried to unpack recovery in aik in my other phone but same error displays.
Even I already tried to unpack twrp when you previously told me but I think you edited your reply later so I didn't tell you about this error yet.
