Hello,
Once I formatted Internal Data with TWRP I was able to make a backup there. I now have This PCDM10\Internal Storage\TWRP\BACKUPS\S95PROEEA0000007651\2020-10-20--13-13-52_DOOGEE-S95Pro-Android90-20200210
I copied the entire 2020-10-20--13-13-52_DOOGEE-S95Pro-Android90-20200210 folder to my computer so I suspect that's everything as a backup and it's around 7GB.
Not sure if this is exactly helpful though since I am not sure it can be restored.

Hello,
Unfortunately every time I reboot into the system after installing TWRP it goes back to stock recovery. I'm a little confused as to why this is happening though since there isn't a note about it happening.
However the encryption removal failed but the orange state disabler worked.

Basically if I don't install vbmeta the system is unbootable. I did this:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
I don't know if that's similar to what you posted about dmverity or anything.
Thanks

Hello,
Once I got TWRP installed on the system, I formatted data and put Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip on the internal storage, applied it via TWRP and now when I reboot the system TWRP is permanent and stock recovery isn't writing over it.
I have a stock recovery.img I can apply if I so desired and that was just because I wanted to recover if issues happened.

Hello,
I can confirm that TWRP and the backup I made works fine to restore to the system.
Can't really get anything to boot and do not have root access quite yet on the stock rom. Still working that out.

Hello,
Now that I tried a second time to restore the backup I made and it gets stuck restoring system image with no idea how to restore now. It's a DD image as far as I know and I can't access anything to get that back in, can't flash via fastboot since I don't have the stock firmware specifically.
**Fixed the issues and restored the backup successfully.

Hello,
Since I have now been having the orange state message, I thought it would be a good idea to run the Orange State Disabler however it makes everything on the system unstable and funky with black screens and things just not working. I'm recommending not using the Orange State Disabler until it can be fixed.
