I am trying to figure out why some devices like mine (Pixel 4a, Android 11 ) don't have a TWRP. It seems to be a fairly popular device, so I am presuming lack of developer support isn't a reason.

Some pointers I could find :

So, I am just trying to understand from a user point of view what the limitations are ( I do miss backup, at times).

Reasons, anyone?

  • minimum requirement for official TWRP is 1) some developer 2) who owns that device 3) is interested in becoming maintainer. you still can go with unofficial TWRP meanwhile getdroidtips.com/twrp-recovery-google-pixel-4a

  • @alecxs thanks, I am assuming 1 and 2, as I mentioned in first paragraph. I saw 3, doesn't work and couldn't find more as to why//besides, it would be nice to just boot into it to take backup and that too doesn't work//Most importantly, developer unknown, so I am kind of scared to push on this

  • @alecxs also point 2, barring this linked kernel, other custom kernels don't talk of it, leading me to think kernel support is also mandatory
