Hi Skidrow
I now know why you have proposed TWRP for OP5. Care to share the TWRP version/ download link that you have succesfully used for T?
Thank you in advance.
I’ll wait for e-recovery for the other phones.
Hello,
after checking your device documentation, i
think you shouldn’ t need additional partitions to flash t for op5.
So i would suggest you to download t release, unzip it, you should get e recovery.img inside.
As i did for my device before flashing t.
To be honest, i kept previously installed twrp on my device, but it is just a choice.
E recovery i got should work just fine.

Dear Lilbeth and Skidrow
Thank you very much for your informations.
Indeed the zip already contains the e-recovery. Still there is a new folder in the T zip that doesn’t exist in previous ones. But it shouldn’t matter I guess… I’ll install tomorrow the T on my poor OP5

I had not realised the extent and significanceof the way that this issue extends beyond T builds (or is a different issue which coincided.)
For instance a user wanting to install lemonade does see the "new type bundled recovery .zip file"
Where “Recovery and boot img” is IMG-e-1.15-s-20230916331435-dev-lemonade.zip
While a new user wanting to install renoir at Android 12 (S) does not know why the install instructions, mentioning “the contents of the eRecovery zip file” do not fit the published files.
I know you made an apology about the timing, my comment is only that I did not realise that the new packaging method appears to extend to other Android versions beyond T. (Unless I am wrong again !)
This would seem a great improvement from what I see of the extracted lemonade Android 12 (S) file 
My actual point in writing was to suggest that the method to extract images with a payload dumper, should perhaps be under a heading carrying the meaning “delayed publication of bundled recovery files” rather than the heading T builds.

Thank you @Cooler for the image of the “Magic ingredients” – the vendor blobs which provision Android version upgrade without the need for the user to consider whether they might need to go back to manufacturer’s ROM for an S → T firmware upgrade.
