If you own such a device that does not have an available TWRP port, it is actually really quite easy to port it yourself. In this Appuals guide, we will show you how to port TWRP without source, all you need is your device’s stock recovery and Android Kitchen. We’ll be using Android Kitchen for Linux in this guide, as the procedure in the Windows version is quite a bit trickier (and perhaps prone to error). If you’d like to try porting TWRP from source, see Appuals guide How to DIY Port TWRP for Android.

Note: The recovery.fstab file you get after unpacking the stock recovery.img will have some flaws in it, most likely deliberate from the OEM. You need to install DiskInfo app from Play Store, and a root explorer, so that you will known which partition is mounted at which location and device. Launch the DiskInfo app, and make sure the following Settings are enabled: Now launch your root explorer app, and find the path of your partitions. Typically, they would be found under /dev, and some other partitions like /system and /cache are located in deeper levels. If you need to trace their exact locations, you can navigate inside the /dev directory and search for partition names such as “mmcblk0p5”.
Devices Without Recovery.Fstab
If your device does not produce a recovery.fstab file after unpacking the stock recovery.img, there are a few things to try. First, check in the ramdisk/etc folder, where you might find a dummy recovery.fstab file that has a link symbol. Right click on the dummy file and choose “Show Target”, which should present you with the location of the original recovery.fstab. Sometimes OEMs place them in other folders, such as /vendor/etc folder.
