As it looks like, I do have my prodcutive weekend ..
Today I have released a new TWRP version .. USB-OTG works now.
Update.ZIP_TWRP_dragon_3.0.2-0_v4.zip
Now I have made another version .. Update.ZIP_TWRP_dragon_3.0.2-0_v5.zip
For this version I have ported the Nexus 6 P decryption functionality to Pixel C.
As I don´t have an encrypted /data partition anymore I would like to ask for some testers.
This TWRP version should be able to access your encrypted data partition now - hopefully.
Please install both versions from your current TWRP.
Pls make a "reboot to recovery" once you have installed the .zip file.
Inside the download folder there also .img files for fastboot installation, or you unzip the .zip file.

Good stuff!
I'm decrypted so can't test that, but the USB-OTG is working AOK! :good:
Thanks for report ..
v5 will not make problems if you are already decrypted, like me too.
OTG is working fine in both versions.
I'm now decrypted, but thanks for the efforts for people coming from a clean encrypted state
My usb-c to micro usb is not working for me with my otg cable, so i will have to wait to test that functionaility too.

Thanks for the info ..
I guess I will encrypt my data partition soon and test myself.
Now as I have a quick backup and restore possibility
When you release something you should be able to "fully" test it.
I have a small USB-C adapter which is working in normal system and now in recovery as well.
Luckily it's working .. there are many cables and adapters which are not working.
Cheers
I´m on a decripted device too but I have now a Nandroid on an USB stick! That´s really awesome! Thanks followmsi
My anker adapter doesn't work, but I have ordered another from amazon, due tomorrow, that is supposed to support org, so will hopefully be able to test the otg then.
v4 worked perfectly. It was exactly what i needed. Thank you.

Not sure it's working. From a fresh, locked Pixel C, I unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP_dragon_3.0.2-0_v5.1.img via fastboot, rebooted into recovery and TWRP still cannot see/mount the data partition. Did I miss a step somewhere or do something wrong?

Thanks for the update .. it is not working yet.
It was a test .. I have implemented the "original" TWRP mechanism for decryption .. but Pixel C is using other libraries to decrypt .. "angler" and "bullhead" are using the same way.
But they are not "mixed" ChromeOS devices.
Will remove v5.1 soon from the website .. hopefully we will manage it later on.
Maybe I will add a short technical description .. what I did and maybe someone else is able to get the rest of the puzzle.
Thanks for your help and testing !
Cheers

Encrypted would be good .. but I am not sure if the TWRP works the same on N.
To decrypt you need to format your data .. with encryptable flag, e.g. Install SuperSU 2.72 above.

I'm not unfortunately.
I was stuck in a recovery bootloop whatever I do... But... In bootloader it worked with the command : fastboot reboot.... I don't know why but I don't care !
I'm now with the N Preview 3 and rooted
While testing new kernel I had the same issue today.
Recovery bootloop.
"fastboot reboot" sovled the problem ...

any changelog?
worth to update if i'm on your v4.6?
Smaller recovery image due to new lzma compressed kernel .. and the decryption libs are included.
Nothing else has changed.
No real need to upgrade .. but with update.zip the update goes fast anyway.
Cheers
The Recovery bootloop is a little bit tricky sometimes. Because if you do not own a PC (like me for the moment) you couldn't work with the tablet for a while. I had one Loop after making a nandroid. So I fear to turn off the device.
Is it possible to jump back to stock recovery for example before I'm traveling and reflash TWRP back home to minimize the risk of a loop when there is no PC reachable?

Because that's a life saver for Z2 with Prerooted rom. That's the only bootloop fix exist here on xda for now. Can you try flashing without it at see if it boots? And report back here! Unless u wanna waste some times on re-flashing LP rom and rooting it again to get back on a rooted mm rom
Will previous D6502 patches work?
RICdefeat & byeselinux
Have you used byeselinux & RICdefeat in the firm compilation??
Or only the bootloopfix?

I've do my compilation with 23.5.A.1.291 firmware using the ITALIAN customized and SUPERSU with PRF creator.
I've install busybox from appstore and DUAL recovery with the install.bat from pc and then in RECOVERY MODE i´ve flashed byeselinux+RICdefeat without bootloopfix, and works too!!

Yeah I saw some feedback on "23.5.A.0.575" build as well that some ppl didn't flashed bootloop fix and they got it boot.
But for me I'd to flash bootloop fix to get into os. I remember Last time when I was on MM build "23.5.A.0.570_R4D" I've like 350+ apps installed on my z2 and after a few weeks later Build "23.5.A.0.575" came out. And guess what I've flashed it without the bootloops fix and that's it, I got stucked on lockscreen and whenever I unlock my device it just reboot again & again, And I can't even boot to recovery. With a broken heart I've to flash LP rom again and root it and then flash the latest MM build. I just did't want to take that risk again this time, since I've now more than 360+ apps installed on my Z2. So It's upto All of u guys. U want to flash the old bootloop fix or not. Try and let us know Good Luck!
Yeah you need bootloop fix. The same thing happened to me but I just pressed volume button during the bootloop, I entered TWRP, connected to USB, copied bootloop fix and flashed it without reinstalling everything

I think we have do the same, but i dont use the bootloop fix...
I will flash recroot v4 next time without bootloop fix and i tell you. Thank you!!
Thanks for your work
flashing without a probleme
Okay guys first let me tell you why I have created a new thread just for updating the BL and Firmware ,
I know we already have methods of updating like:
1. flashing the full OOS3 zip through stock recovery ,this method is quite simple for the ones who are on stock recovery and just want to update their OOS version.If you fall in this category then you have no purpose here,you may leave.
2. Is method provided by our fav helping hand @Joshwin Aranha ,that method is sure for the rest of us who dont fall in the above category,but is way too long,although simple and effective still "long".
I created this thread to help the CM13(Official or Sultan's)//any custom rom using new BL,users who want to update their BL without flashing the OOS through the tedious way just to update BL and users who are stuck on bootlogo due to old BL with roms using new BL.
Here I will guide you through the required steps to update our bootloader "In easiest and fastest way without wiping and restoring anything".
So what are we waiting for ,lets start .
Prerequisites
you will need two files for this process,nothing else.
1 . First one is BLUpdater zip --->Here.
2. Second is TWRP compiled from latest sources use either This or the one from Here<--use v41 or use Sultan's from Here OR if you are Martin's fan like me and want to use his MutiRom TWRP goHere.
PS:I am assuming you have Unlocked Bootloader and have either
official/blu_spark/sultan's/ Multirom TWRP installed,in a working condition on OOS2.x BL(if not what are you doing here).
Note: make sure oem unlocking is checked in developer options in your current rom,else updating the BL may cause it to get locked ,and you will have to unlock it again and flash the recovery manually through fastboot itself.
Now the steps
1.First copy both of the above files in your sdcard or otg or ext-sdcard,any place accessible in recovery.
2. Now boot into recovery Choose Install and choose the "OPXBLUpdateOOS3.1" zip and flash it.
3. Don't reboot now ,go to Install again ,this time use "Install Image" button in lower right corner,navigate to folder where you copied the new TWRP,you should be able to see the file,select it ,choose recovery in the next menu and flash.
NOTE:If you chose to use Sultan's recovery.zip then just flash it normally.
4. Don't reboot come back to TWRP home ,goto reboot and recovery ,if TWRP says no OS installed ignore it.
Now voila you should have updated your firmware/BL.Congrats.
You can now install any rom that supports the new BL.Older roms won't boot on the new MM BL.So check the rom thread before installing the rom and later on quacking here about your device being stuck at bootlogo.
Notes
i)Neither I nor XDA will be responsible if your OPX bricks or explodes or ditches you and flies to space.
ii)We are not touching system partition so last installed ROM will be intact.
iii)This guide will leave you into bootable rom only if you have a rom installed that works on latest firmware.
iv)This can also be used to restore all your OPX partitions back to OOS3.x partition state,if you messed any.
v)In case you are using latest nightly (cm13) and face bootloop - go Here
psst:If you are not diggin the new BL,and wanna downgrade again ,back to old BL,check this post.
PS: (second one,I know) This guide was made by taking inspiration from Joshwin's post and devtry method.
Also click Thanks if I helped you

No it wont,right now almost all the custom roms need to update to support new firmware.Only latest cm13 nightlies are booting now,also aosp compiled by olddroid for new BL(shh its only for testers right now)
also maybe the MIUI8 port ,just posted in the forums.
I'm a litte bit confused.
Currently I'm on nighty October 1st. (cm-13.0-20161001-NIGHTLY-onyx.zip)
Can i update the Bootloader with your method and after that booting up my current nightly version?
Or do I have to update after the bootloader update to nightly version 12 (the currently latest)?

no update the BL using the steps above ,then flash the latest nightly.That way it would be good.
Or you can flash nightly first then update BL.Choice is yours.I recommend updating the BL first.
I followed your guide with a locked bootloader, and now I'm in bootloops . Just suggest you put a big red "make sure your bootloader is unlocked" in the steps, not in the footnote.

Thanks! I actually relocked my bootloader not long after installed cm13, and disabled "unlock oem" in "developer settings"(I don't know why I did this). So both system and rec is inaccessible, and fastboot is useless in this case. Fortunately I followed the unbrick guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3272108 and get the old bootloader back. Now I could enter CM13-09-28 with all my data intact.
Just hope to let people know the hard lesson I learned, and how to deal the bootloops.
And guys, NEVER RELOCK BOOTLOADER AGAIN!

taking you wanna flash ashwins cm14 right. You just wanna follow the instructions in first post and then flash the cm14.No need to install the whole Oos zip.
This way you should have updated BL and working cm14.
Just flash the cm14 after booting into new TWRP
I've just followed the procedure from OP and all went smooth as butter. Thanks
Directly after that (without reboot) I've installed the latest CM13 (with GApps) and Arsenic R24. Working as a charm

u can flash bluespark twrp via fasboot
Sent from my ONE E1003 using XDA-Developers mobile app
NOTE :I AM NOT A DEVELOPER.THIS IS JUST THE FINAL RESULT OF MY "HIT & TRIAL" FOR OVER A WEEK.PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP IN TWRP OF UR SYSTEM BEFORE DOING THIS.
INSTALLING FULLY FUNCTIONAL MAGISK WAS REALLY TROUBLESOME FOR ME(E6533)
sometimes it was showing error while flashing
SOMETIMES it was flashed without error but system failed to reboot/bootloopedcredits:
@topjohnwu for magisk
I have tested this and is working fine in my xperia z3+ dual(E6533)...but m sure it will work with all models of z3+/z4.so try it & let others know it.
PREREQUISITES:
1.ur firmware/rom must be nougat 7.1. [please dont try on MM/LP]
2.USB DEBUGGING AND INSTALLATION OF UNKNOWN SOURCE MUST B ENABLED.
2.FIRMWARE should be un-rooted[ if u have installed supersu/tried magisk earlier/failed/erronous attempt of installing magisk.........then use unsu.zip /magisk uninstaller before proceeding]
3.the boot image(new_kernel) over which magisk will be installed is stock nougat 7.1.1 so this method will work in any rom which can be booted via stock boot image.eg.it will work on m-rom and stock (m sure of it)
4.twrp must be installed
5.basic knowledge of fastboot commands for flashing kernel
lets start....
1.in twrp first of all clean any traces of supersu/failed magisk installation by flashing "unsu.zip or magisk uninstaller"
2.power off ur device and then flash the "new_kernel.img via fastboot....use these commands
a.imp to check whether the kernel will boot in ur device or not (if this step shows any error,plz dont proceed to b.
in cmd window : fastboot boot new_kernel.img
b.to flash the kernel
in cmd window :fastboot flash boot new_kernel.img
IMP:steps 1 & 2 are can also be used when u have met with an unexpected bootloop/restart problem at any time( if u don't want to flash the complete stock ftf,this boot image will help u in letting ur device come out of bootloop.
3.proceeding to our main thread....now boot into recovery & flash "magisk.zip"
4.wipe cache & dalvik.and reboot.
PROPERTIES OF THE KERNEL (new_kernel.img:---
Build 32.4.A.1.54
1. Sony RIC- disabled.
2. DM-Verity- disabled.
3. TWRP- disabled.
4. DRM Fix- enabled.
5. Superuser / root- Not present. ( flash magisk its better)
6. Busybox- Not present
7.many more tweaks to reduce heat & increase battery backup

u can try flashing magisk over stock.but whenever i did that my device used to go into bootloop.thats why i've to experiment with different twrps,kernels to detect the culprit.
finally i got this awesome kernel which helped me to come out of bootloops everytime.so i will suggest to use this [near to stock ] kernel .
but u can try flashing magisk over stock.....if anything goes wrong ,,,just flash the new_kernel,,and ua fine to go with magisk.
Thnx. I will try & let u know.

creating a separate thread isn't a good idea ,i'll update the details of the kernel in this thread itself,plz give me some time.
Kernel properties added.
Wait... Installing Magisk caused a bootloop for you? Never happened to me tho.

i got frequent bootloops on installing it over stock kernel and also over m-rom .i think the kernel was the culprit.
Recently I unlocked the bootloader of my Z4 single sim (E6553), but I accidentally lost the TA partition backup. Now I have LOS 14.1 but it's not good at all, I want to return to the stock firmware.
I read here that this kernel have the "DRM Fix- enabled." , what means? If I flash this kernel I can use again every features like BionZ, Bravia Engine, etc ?

Hopefully yes,flash it as instructed.best of luck:good:
Anyone tested if the Kernel is "DRM FiX ready"? Im planning to root my Z3+ (E6533) without backing up my TA, but if this Kernel is equipped with DRM Fix I would go with this one.

confirmed!! this kernel is the ****!.. try it... (don't blame me if you brick your device)
The link to download the kernel won't work anymore, is there a mirror?
From the forum I followed these step to install magisk:
- Patched my boot.img of my current rom using Magisk Manager and flashed via fastboot
- After rebooting from fastboot it got stuck in recovery so had to wipe all data and it booted finally
- After booting up installed Magisk Manager and both Magisk and Magisk manager shows green tick (installed)
But at this stage, whenever I open Magisk, it shows a recommendation to install a ZIP, if I agree to install it, phone gets stuck in recovery again.
If I choose not to install recommended zip and click Install > Direct Install, phone gets stuck in recovery again anyway
Everytime it gets stuck I have to wipe all data and start all over again. Anyone else facing same issue? Any solution?
Really frustrated right now.
My current rom is : DAVINCIIN INDIAN Global_V11.0.2.0
Used latest magisk manager 7.4.0
I have official recovery, not TWRP.
Afraid that flashing TWRP now will brick it for good.
UPDATE: Got the solution here, thanks @pikchu289 !
Twrp up to now is the best way
But check some stuff first
1.unlock the boot loader
2.chech if the magisk zip/img is corrupted or any file
3.does your os support this magisk version
Any way you can flash twrp because many people had already tried it and tested it from installing zips/ROMs/mods etc.. to backup files/data or even fixing some corrupted files that caused boot loops manually
But there are various things that doesn't work usually such as restoring system partition but never worry about this because if any thing failed just use miflash tool to go back to official/stock rom
Edit : I think something's wrong with your magisk version number
I have no idea which rom youre using or why on earth you didn't install TWRP before messing around with the os but some roms dont work with latest magisk and you have to use a specific older version depends on your rom, and you can't update magisk at any point as long as youre on this version of the rom. Ive always used custom recovery and when facing an issue with magisk you just boot to recovery and flash the 'magisk uninstaller' zip (available on magisk xda page) and reboot and you get system. No need to start from scratch
Solve this solution
Dear stone_henge!
I found a method to solve this solution after a lot of days I tried a lot of times! As follows:
1. I back up my Internal storage to my PC
2. Format Data (In TWRP: Wipe -> Format Data)
3. I reboot back into recovery
4. I connected my device to PC via a cable and copy two files: "Magisk-v20.1.zip" and "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_10.20.2019.zip" into Internal storage. Then rename "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_10.20.2019.zip" to "Disable_ForceEncrypt.zip"
4. I flash "Magisk-v20.1.zip", then I reboot back into recovery again.
5. I flash "Disable_ForceEncrypt.zip" . Reboot to system and setting my phone like after flash a new room, and then I installed "MagiskManager-v7.4.0.apk"
It's working for me!

Yeah some people prefer to have stock recovery and not mess with the phone that much... But while you seem to be an expert on what to do, maybe you could try be helpful a bit and provide with the guide of flashing TWRP on k20? Yeah i can obviously see there are guides already in the forum but I'm curious to know which one you followed.

None of these lines actually answer my problem or even help in any way. But thanks for enlightening me. -_-
It's true I did miss the part where you mentioned your rom but let's recap..
I did tell you you should install custom recovery.
I did tell you you should probably stick with the magisk version that works and not to update.
I did tell you you don't need to start over every time you get a problem caused by magisk and you can just flash magisk uninstaller and get your system back.
You don't see any of that helpful??? That's fine bc I got news for you.. THIS FORUM IS FREE! Do I have to research your problem for you and give you a step by step guide or else you whine about it?? Plus this is a public forum. People share the knowledge they have with everyone who reads it now and in the future and might get a piece of information out of it.
If you use the time you waste attacking people who used their time to try and help you (instead of saying thanks anyway like the rest of us do) into doing your research (like the rest of us do too) you'll probably be fine.

Sorry for being harsh... I understand you actually tried to help. It's actually really frustrating when facing a problem that has no straightforward solution.
Sorry mate.
finally i founded how to fix this issue without formating data of ur device
--just the flash the same the full custom rom or stock rom that u r using currently on . and boom restart. and ur issue fixed
Install a magisk zip without TWRP. TWRP takes too long. Instead use Aodin to flash a rom specific to your device version. Make sure it is not corrupted as well
