BOARD_USES_RECOVERY_AS_BOOT

Keep in mind, karen has NO recovery partition. Recovery is part of the boot partition, so it takes care of normal boot and recovery.

SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP boot.img

Building

Basic instructions. From there you'll need to research.

1. Get started with https://github.com/minimal-manifest-twrp/platform_manifest_twrp_aosp/tree/twrp-12.1

   repo init -u https://github.com/minimal-manifest-twrp/platform_manifest_twrp_aosp.git -b twrp-12.1
   repo sync -j5 --current-branch --no-clone-bundle --no-tags
   

2. Add this device tree to device/oneplus/karen.

   mkdir -p device/oneplus
   cd device/oneplus
   git clone https://github.com/oneplus-karen-roms/android_device_oneplus_karen-twrp.git karen
   cd ../..
   

3. Try an eng build.

   export ALLOW_MISSING_DEPENDENCIES=true; . build/envsetup.sh; lunch twrp_karen-eng
   make bootimage
   

4. You should now be able to flash out/target/product/karen/boot.img

   cd out/target/product/karen
   fastboot flash boot boot.img
   

Experimental builds

1. Flash just TWRP

https://github.com/oneplus-karen-roms/android_device_oneplus_karen-twrp/releases

Find the .img files under a releases' assets. And flash like normal. fastboot flash boot twrp-boot-xxx.img

2. Install the ramdisk

Boot into TWRP, then:

• adb push stock-boot.img /sdcard/stock-boot.img (get this from an official OTA file).
• adb push twrp-boot-xxx.img /sdcard/twrp-boot-xxx.img
• Install the Stock stock-boot.img for your OS version. DO NOT reboot yet.
• Install the ramdisk from /sdcard/twrp-boot-xxx.img. DO NOT reboot yet.
• adb shell -> dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot-plus-twrp.img (You will need this for rooting).
• adb reboot

3. Rooting

Booting the phone normally:

• Open the Magisk app.
• Choose /sdcard/boot-plus-twrp.img to be patched.
• Note the filename you get in the log /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched-XXXXXXX.img
• adb reboot recovery

When rebooted to TWRP:

• Install the file you got /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched-XXXXXXX.img to Boot.
• Reboot! You're done!
