Q: Is TWRP 3.6.1 compatible with Android 13? A: Yes, partially. It works for most Pixel and OnePlus devices running Android 13. However, for the absolute latest Android 14 builds, you may need TWRP 3.7.0.
Q: The official website only shows 3.6.0 for my phone. What do I do? A: Look for an unofficial maintainer on XDA Forums. Search for "TWRP 3.6.1 [Your Phone] unofficial." Many developers backported the 3.6.1 features to devices the official team abandoned. twrp 361 upd

Q: Can I downgrade from 3.6.1 to 3.5.2?
A: Yes, but it is not recommended. If you must, flash the older .img file the same way (Method 3). However, if you have upgraded your ROM to Android 12, the older TWRP will fail to decrypt. Now, let's get to the action
