Today the Android T version was released. Usually we need 2 downloads: the Rom and the recovery. there is no recovery (and boot image?!) listed with the rom.

which recovery do I need? What files do I need to update my partitions?

thanks in advance!

The files required for flashing (boot.img dtbo.img vbmeta.img) via fastboot can be found in the file payload.bin, which is to be extracted from the file e-1.15-t-20230918331436-dev-troika.zip.

Now flashing additional partitions first

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img

The e-recovery file is called boot.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Now reboot into recovery to verify the installation.

Now tap Factory Reset , then Format data / factory reset
Return to the e-recovery main menu

adb sideload e-1.15-t-20230918331436-dev-troika.zip

That’s all. Happy flashing!

  1. On your PC, exctract (decompress) the e-1.15-t-20230918331436-dev-troika.zip → you will find :
    boot.img, dtbo.img and vbmeta.img
  2. boot in fastboot mode and on the PC from the folder where the files are, open a terminal, and do
    fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
    fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
    fastboot flash boot boot.img
  3. reboot in recovery mode, tap
    “Factory Reset” , then “Format data / factory reset”
    Return back to the e-recovery main menu and tap
    “Apply update”
  4. On the PC from the folder where the files are, open a terminal, and do
    adb sideload e-1.15-t-20230918331436-dev-troika.zip

why not just use twrp for your model with the zip

i’m pretty sure just using twrp as recovery should suffice but a payload dumper program can seperate those files as Anon mentioned (except for vbmeta). i use linux so my designated software is payload-dumper-go

Get vbmeta.img from https://dl.google.com/developers/android/qt/images/gsi/vbmeta.img

Which TWRP would that be? Never picked one for myself.
