[X ] I have searched for my issue and it does not already exist

Device codename: Mata TWRP version: 3.2.3.0

WHAT STEPS WILL REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM?

Flash Feburary 2020 update of Android for Essential PH-1
Flash TWRP
Boot to Android Results: Bootloop

WHAT IS THE EXPECTED RESULT?

Expected: Boot to Android

WHAT HAPPENS INSTEAD?

Bootloop

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Reverting to January 2020 or earlier firmware resolves the issue. Also, the recovery has not been updated in 2 years while the phone has received many updates, including OS versions. TWRP seems to also have issues decrypting, issues with touch, and still isn't properly sized for the display.

Regarding NOVENDOR Feburary 2020 update - workaround: Just skip flashing the bootloader "fastboot flash abl_x abl.img".

Can someone please work on this, not having a custom recovery when something goes wrong can be detrimental. "my data may be corrupt", I can't boot, and flashing OTAs through the stock recovery isn't fixing it. I mean come on, it's literally been over a year, someone please just push one update.

@grzwolf What is this workaround? I can't seem to find anymore info on this, if I just flash the abl.img from the January patch would it work?
