Port TWRP to A/B partitioned device
Port TWRP to A/B partitioned device
(10-04-2021, 05:50 PM)The_Beast941 Hi, I tried to use the Mediatek Auto TWRP Porter to try to port TWRP to my Nokia 2.2 (on Android 9).
However, that requires a stock recovery image which you obviously cannot find in an A/B partitioned device so I cannot use the TWRP Porter in order to port the recovery to my device.

copy and rename boot.img to recovery.img then try porting
(12-04-2021, 01:55 PM)The_Beast941 For some reason, installing Magisk v22.0 through TWRP makes Magisk overwrite TWRP so that on the next boot there is no recovery installed. Is there any way around this? Already patched vbmeta with a blank image and bootloader is unlocked.

no, not unless you you boot either twrp or patched boot whenever you need it e.g fastboot boot twrp.img
(13-04-2021, 01:20 PM)The_Beast941 Is there a way to fix "fastboot boot" not working then? Every time I try to "fastboot boot" an image it says Transmission OK then it reboots back into whatever is flashed on my boot partition after a while.

what exactly did you attempt to boot? tried booting the new twrp you ported?
