Whether you are an experienced flashaholic or just a newcomer to the flashing scene, you likely have used Team Win Recovery Project, or TWRP for short, at some point. The custom recovery solution officially supports hundreds of Android-powered devices (including TV Boxes and smartwatches). On the other hand, the modding community has managed to integrate unique features like true dual booting in the unofficial builds. Thanks to the ever-changing world of Android, TWRP needs to adapt to newer partition schemes and encryption logics while retaining compatibility with legacy devices. The project has now received a major update that bumps TWRP's version number to 3.4.0.

As many of you are aware, TWRP developers faced several challenges on their way to make the custom recovery fully compatible with Android 10. A significant portion of the TWRP codebase needed to be revised to support the changes Google introduced in AOSP’s recovery implementation. TWRP 3.4.0 does not yet bring support for dynamic/logical partitions, which is required to support devices that launch with Android 10. It does, however, fix support for legacy devices that upgraded to Android 10, but retain the old partition scheme.

Besides featuring an enhanced decryption module, the latest version of TWRP comes with a bunch of improvements in System-as-Root and A/B dual partitions handling. The A/B installer zip format is completely re-written from scratch based on the contributions of XDA Senior Recognized Developer osm0sis and XDA Recognized Developer arter97. Moreover, OZIP decryption is now natively supported, courtesy of XDA Recognized Developer mauronofrio. It means that OPPO and Realme smartphone users can flash official firmware packages directly from TWRP without converting them to standard ZIP files beforehand.

The full changelog for the update can be found below:

The resetprop support that has been added was used to create libresetprop in the TWRP source which allows read-only props to be easily overwritten by device maintainers. This helps ensure broad compatibility for stock ROMs, decryption, etc. but does not impact end-users.
