The recovery image is based on an older version of TWRP. However, as UT is not an Android ROM, we cannot really support most of the features of TWRP which are designed around Android, rather than alternate systems. This is why the recovery is stripped down.

@iolaum FYI. check your wifi, is remembering your password. and look to see how much memory Is being used by Ubports, for future reference, if you reinstall/wipe and so forth. have fun
