Dear Sirs,

My device has no way to unlock bootloader, so the only way to install TWRP recovery is QFIL installation.
This request creating rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml. I wanna install twrp-3.5.2_9-0-s2.img and wanna update it, with ability sign boot

Yours,
Radmir.

Without an unlocked bootloader your device would be bricked if you force flash TWRP into it

Dear justshez,
There are no possibility fo flash TWRP through fastboot, but yoy may create a package with rawprogram0.xml + patch0.xml add TWRP recovery, launch EDL mode and download TWRP by QFIL. I'm using this way for TWRP 3.1.1., 3.2.1, 3.2.3. There is one way more, one may use the command dd to copy recovery to block /dev/block/mmcblk0p32, but I am not tried this way, cause I'm not sure, my device has RAM memory. I wanna create rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml at least.
Your site has many ideas how to solve complex problems! It's a pity, without list of threads one experiencing troubles seaking necessary information...
Yours Radmir.

Yours Radmir.

You need to understand that unlocking of the bootloader is not for fashion. That's what allows you to flash unofficial images (like TWRP) without the device getting bricked. Unless you have a way to sign the TWRP with the exact keys that the device's OEM used to sign the stock recovery then you will brick your phone even if you flash the TWRP with QFIL.
If you want to go ahead then that's fine.

Dear Sir,
It's a pity, you site has a lot of information, lost in your closed threads.
I personally had installed next TWRP using QFIL:
TWRP-3.1.1-0820-LENOVO_P8(8703X)-CN-wzsx150-QPST,
TWRP-3.2.1-0117-LENOVO_P8%288703X%29-CN-wzsx150-QPST,
TWRP-3.2.3-0308-LENOVO_P8(8703X)-CN-wzsx150-QPST
All this TWRP were installed through QFIL and all are chinese version, I replaced chinese version by restoring recovery from previous TWRP copy 2025-02-05--22-02-02_TB-8703X_S000037_180404_ROW.
This twrp-copy has unique TWRP recovery 3.2.1 with sign boot option also installed through QFIL, but I lost the original package for QFIL, so I do my job through restore.
This is true.
Radmir.

Is the phone Lenovo P8? And are you saying you have a signed TWRP which is confirmed to work on a locked bootloader?
