At the same time, it is also worth noting that other non-Pixel devices shipped with an older Android version (Android Pie, Oreo, etc) and received upgrades to Android 10 are not affected by this.Ĭonsidering the amount of dedication the developers have put into it, we are quite certain that they will surely find a way to get TWRP to support the dynamic partition system at some point in the future. But what we do know for now is that TWRP 3.4 doesn’t support devices with the dynamic partitioning system, at least not yet. The developers are constantly working to find a proper solution for implementing TWRP to handle the super partition. Which makes it extremely hard to flash ZIP files like ROMs, GApps, etc since the /system is read-only and couldn’t be mounted easily. This in turns make it really hard for TWRP to mount the system partition. Android 10 devices now use a super partition, instead of dedicated partitions like system, vendor, etc. The most notable change, and the one that poses the biggest problem with TWRP development is the new dynamic/logical partitioning system. This includes phones like the Pixel 3, Pixel 4, and future devices that will come with Android 10 out-of-the-box. Well, it’s not exactly Android 10 that poses the problem, but the new changes that are introduced with it, which are applicable to devices that ship with Android 10 as their original version. Some users might ask that there are several devices running Android 10 and already have a fully-working TWRP. What about support for devices running Android 10?Įarlier last year, the team’s lead developer dees_troy published a post to give the users an update about TWRP and Android 10 support. With the latest TWRP 3.4 release, this bug has finally been fixed.Īpart from the ones mentioned above, there are several fixes and changes concerning the decryption, and much more. We already covered a solution to fix the sensors issue. This caused the corruption of the phone’s calibration data stored in the said partition, ultimately leading to non-working sensors like proximity, gyro, etc. Earlier, TWRP 3.3 used the ‘persist’ partition on devices to store the recovery’s cache and log files. There’s also a particular change in this update that I would like to point out.In addition to that, the “Reboot System” button now allows users to reboot their phone into different partitions after installing a ZIP file. The recovery now shows info about the ZIP file being installed to the inactive slot of an A/B device.
