Hello, for the first time I used Flashfire to update my phone to the latest security update. This did install the system properly, but now if I try to boot into TWRP it will ask for my password to decrypt. I have tried entering both my Google password and my PIN key and neither are accepted. I have also tried changing my PIN key in the Android system settings but this still does not allow TWRP to decrypt my data. Am I missing something?
Same issue! I don't want to factory reset....
Edit: For now, I just flashed my kernel and SuperSU through the USB-OTG feature in TWRP... Fine for the moment.
Having the same issue as well. I updated to MHC19I through fastboot and everything went well. Installed TWRP 3.0.0 and it installed without any problems, but when I attempted to decrypt with my pattern it doesn't work. Booting to Android after decrypting it with the pattern works fine though. I wonder if this is just a TWRP issue?
I am having this same issue as well. However, I have noticed that whenever I boot into the system then try to go back into TWRP recovery it appears that the recovery is missing. The only way I have found to get back into recovery is to re-flash through fastboot.

When you flash a boot and system image, if you dont root and patch it with SuperSU, the moment you reboot to android, it will replace recovery. Thats why after flashing is important to boot straight into TWRP, flash the SUperSU zip to patch and root and it wont revert it
But i am on the same boat... went to 19I version... saw the password message from TWRP... i even tried back 29V and took off security, reflashed 19I and still... So i figured it was TWRP needing update... So i flashed 29V and will wait a day or so

So, if you look over at the TWRP thread it is mentioned that it is possible to sideload SuperSU as well as kernels. I was able to do this just fine myself. I think TWRP just needs to be updated by the dev.
I can confirm I have Root access (Flashed SuperSU v2.68 zip) via OTG. Also flashed Xposed Framework v80 and ElementalX Kernel via the same method. I had to download v1.14 zip manually to my OTG as the auto flash method via ElementalX Kernel Manager saves the downloaded zip file to Data and TWRP has no access to it. Bit annoying
What's worse is that TWRP doesn't save any of its' own settings (Time Zone, Haptic Feedback, Display Brightness etc). Guessing this would've normally been saved on Data partition as well. So everytime you boot into recovery, its' like the first time you flashed TWRP Anyway, all working well now and I didn't have to wipe anything.
Confirmed that after the mhc19i TWRP can't decrypt.
adb sideloaded twrp again(for fun), supersu, francokernel v12.
Just getting a ton of app crashes now. Might need to format system and start over :-/
*edit* was able to transfer my /sdcard/ to computer while apps were crashing.
Rebooted to fastboot and did as follows
fastboot update -w image-angler-mhc19i.zip to format everything and start over.
fastboot flash recovery twrp-angler-3.0.0.0.img
reboot to recovery
Enable twrp to write to system
adb sideload franco kernel r12 and supersu
Now everything is decrypted (i have nothing to hide), I ahve root, I have kernel I want, and TWRP is happy because it doesnt' have to decrypt anything
I use WugFresh NRT to root my phone. I unrooted it this morning to get the OTA March update. Everything went fine until I tried to reroot. I can't get past the TWRP screen asking for a password. How can I reroot without TWRP or will this encryption problem always crop up? I do not want to factory reset.
Hey Guys, on Reddit a user suggested flashing the previous builds Vendor image. That should allow twrp decrypt.

TWRP 3.0 works as normal if you are already decrypted. The issue, which is in the process of being resolved, only pertains to people using encryption.

TWRP 3.0.0-1 is out now. The issue is fixed. You can download from here: https://dl.twrp.me/angler/

Thanks for posting this info - saved me a headache updating CM today!
You need to do this if you've flashed an Oreo 8.1 ROM and find that you can't get back to OOS because...
The ROM can't read /data so it hangs on the boot animation or reboots to recovery, even on a clean flash.
TWRP won't recognize your PIN/password or "default_password".
You've tried re-formatting /data from TWRP several times and it doesn't solve your problem.
Here is how to get back to 100% stock and/or restore factory encryption, which is different than Oreo 8.1 encryption:
1. Back up /sdcard to your PC as it will be erased with all of your files, pictures, music, etc.
2. Flash the stock recovery from bootloader.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [I]stock_recovery.img[/I]
Latest OOS official stock recovery
Latest OOS beta stock recovery
3. Restore system setting in recovery.
This step is necessary to restore factory formatting and encryption of /data.
If a password/PIN is set, click “I forgot my password.”
Boot into stock recovery. Once there, go to Wipe data and cache > Reset system setting and Erase everything(Music, pics, etc.).
Note: If you don't do the "Erase everything..." option, factory encryption will not be reset.
4. Boot TWRP from bootloader.
You could flash TWRP and reboot to recovery, but TWRP will get overwritten with the stock recovery when OOS boots anyway. It's faster just to boot TWRP from a command prompt. Use the command:
Code:
fastboot boot [I]twrp-recovery.img[/I]
I recommend using using:
[RECOVERY][dumpling] TWRP 3.2.1-0 for Oreo (8.0 and 8.1) by codeworkx
5. While in TWRP, move “OOS...ROM.zip” to the SD card.
In Windows File Explorer, copy OOS...ROM.zip to the device.
Alternately, you may use the following ADB command from a command prompt
Code:
adb push [I]OOS...ROM.zip[/I] /sdcard/
Since OOS is a very large file (1.6GB), this will take 5-10 minutes.
Latest OOS signed flashable zip
Latest OOS beta (Oreo) flashable zip
6. Flash OOS...ROM.zip from TWRP.
7. Reboot system.
Your device will be formatted, encrypted and loaded with the stock recovery and ROM as it came from the factory. You may need to find the OOS...ROM.zip you pushed to /sdcard and delete it from emulated storage (/storage/emulated) if you don't see it at /sdcard after booting the ROM.
8. Optional: To re-lock your your bootloader, follow these additional steps:
This can only be done from a factory-supplied OOS ROM (including Oreo) with no modifications or the phone will not boot!
Enable USB debugging under Developer options.
Reboot to bootloader.
Unlock the bootloader with the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Return to Developer options and turn off "OEM unlocking"
Thank you for the write up .. nicely done :good:

It gave me an error 1 in TWRP. I had to do the following:
1) Make sure the bootloader remains unlocked
2) Back your apps up in TitaniumBackup
3) Back your /sdcard partition up on your computer so you don't lose anything
4) Reflash stock recovery in the bootloader
5) Boot into stock recovery and hit "forgot password" when it asks for your lock code
6) Boot back into bootloader and reflash TWRP
7) Place stock OOS zip onto the /sdcard partition
8) While you're in TWRP, flash stock recovery through its image flasher then reboot into recovery
9) Flash stock OOS, reboot, and then mod however you want

Will in 9th last step restoring from nandroid OB-1 work ?
It should I guess

Bump!
I made a big update to the OP today with more explanation, more detail and download links.
Thanks buddy, that tutorial worked perfectly!
The other way is to flash rollback image to Nougat in stock recovery.
https://goo.gl/YRyrt6
there are no other ways to revert back to stock OOS without affecting internal sd /sdcard ?
thanks for the guide above.
Ok I'm a bit Rusty. Flash from bootloader? Meaning adb? Then adb TWRP then boot to TWRP then flash stock room(s)?

Please do not quote the whole OP just to get someone's attention. A mention (@the Doctor) would suffice.
To answer your question, flash the stock recovery with the fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [I]stock_recovery.img[/I]
The only ADB command involved is "push" to get the ROM onto the sdcard in step 5.
Thx @the Doctor. My apologies.
Thanks for the writeup, I'll probably try soon and report back.
Thanks for this, may need it. Plan to flash DU 8.1 tomorrow. So you can't just restore an ob1 or ob2 nandroid from a custom ROM?

You can, but TWRP will not recognize your PIN or password while in OOS, so you'll have to set lockscreen security to none or swipe. Or you could do the procedure in the OP, then restore only data from your nandroid. You'll have to re-flash Magisk or any other mods after that.
I don't use a pin for backups or restores. Since I seem to have to format internal storage to get a custom ROM to boot, was just wondering if restore of oos nandroid works once on DU.

hello thanks for the guide just did this when i boot i cant connect to any wifi network thanks
How can I get my wifi back after reverting to 4.7.6? Ive tried EFS backup and everything possible but the only way to get wifi back is to flash an Oreo zip.

Have you flashed OOS Oreo Beta? My theory is that the firmware won't downgrade back to OOS 4.7.6, but I'm not sure. I've only restored back to OOS OB1/2, and wifi has worked perfectly every time.

Flashing Oreo beta is the only way to get it back as myself and others have found in the thread that was started on the subject. I hadn't seen that initially when I posted in here.
I was hopeful that following your method to a T would get me my wifi back on 4.7.6 but it wasn't meant to be. Absolutely nothing I have tried in the last 24 hours has worked to get it working on 4.7.6 including multiple clean and dirty flashes of the full 4.7.6 zip, twrp, stock recovery, restoring multiple backups, restoring EFS, factory reset, wipes, etc.
You might want to add that to the OP that if you revert to 4.7.6 that wifi will not work.

So, I decided to upgrade my OP6T with Renovate on it. Booted into TWRP (official from their website), did a Nandroid Backup. Now, I did remove my fingerprint and other security before starting. Flashed the full 9.0.14, reflashed TWRP, rebooted into TWRP, flashed Magisk, and then trid to boot into system. Got a bootloop where the phone was jumping in and out of the bootloader message. I tried to stop it by pressing power and volume down and it ended up booting into safe mode. I didn't like that so I booted into TWRP and restored my Nandroid. And that's when the fight started.
It won't boot into anything but TWRP now and everything is encrypted. I have been here before but last time, I got the device totally corrupt message and used MSM to recover. But that was within two weeks of owning the phone. Now it's been three months or so and I do not relish loosing all the pictures and other setting/changes I've made to my apps etc. I am NOT liking this decryption stuff.
So, is there something, anything I can do short of a fastboot rom and/or MSM tool that we all know will wipe out all data. What if I used the unofficial TWRP? Sideload the ROM again?
Any help is appreciated. I hope I didn't make this too long, but long enough to give enough detail of how I got here and that I somewhat know what I'm doing. Been doing this since the OG Motorola Droid almost 10 years ago.
That's usually why backup is always a good idea and in some case, mandatory.
It usually depends on what TWRP version you are using, the recent unofficial TWRP can decrypt the whole /data directory no problem. However, it's possible to brick a slot, and be able to salvage your files in other slot. I have this problem, so I will have to figure out how to remove the encryption keys after backing up my stuff off the phone so I can have both slots functional (Slot A in my OnePlus 6T is bricked, so right now I'm on Slot B, with AOSiP, FrancoKernel and TWRP 3.3.1-6 on it). Dual-boot setup can be both your friend and enemy.
Nevertheless, I would give TWRP 3.3.1-6 bootable image via fastboot a try, and see if you could be able to recover your files from thereon.

Me too. This a/b partition crap and force decryption takes all the fun out of trying new roms. So far it seems to be pointless taking a Nandroid if restoring it just soft bricks your phone. And from what I'm reading, flashing even a updated ROM almost always has to be done very clean, heck it seems like wiping your 'sdcard' is also mandatory. I'm just hoping the above suggestion of trying the different TWRP will allow me to at least get some stuff off my 'sdcard' but I secretly hope I can get into system once just to take a titanium.
Then it's wipe and trade for the oneplus 7 pro, root it and rom it once and call it a day.
I can back up and restore nandroid no issue although I remove any pin code/face unlock/fingerprint prior to backing up. No issues.

Just curious, what TWRP version are you on? I checked the TWRP website and they only have 3.2.?.? available there while mauronofrio (who is named as maintainer at TWRP) has 3.3.1.6 available in the thread here at XDA:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3861482
So. Today I tried to get this thing up and running. I went to the TWRP thread mentioned above and downloaded the latest files. Booted into bootloader, ran flashboot boot xxx.img and it booted into 3.3.1.6 just fine. The 'sdcard' was still encrypted so I couldn't copy the .img file and flash it via the newst instructions, , so I did an adb sideload of the installer file. That flashed just fine and I used TWRP to reboot recovery. Check. 'sdcard' still encrypted. Since this encryption issue seems to happen if you upgrade to a newer security patch and I had tried to do an nandroid restore of an earlier version, at the end I tried this (I did try those steps with 9.0.12 full ROM first, the version of my nandroid):
adb sideload of the full 9.0.14 rom (the upgrade that got me into this dang fix). Then adb sideload of the TWRP installer. Then adb sideload of Magisk since I have read that this needs to be done after TWRP to make your phone boot. Still no good. Won't boot into anything but recovery. Tried the 3.3.1.6 advanced 'fix recovery reboot' or whatever it is, still to no avail.
At least I still have the yellow exclamation point and not the red one. And TWRP 3.3.1.6 stuck, so I am at the latest TWRP there is, at least from what I know.
Any more help or ideas so I can at least boot into my system one last time so I can do some Titanium or even the OnePlus backup? I just have some data that to backup correctly, I need to be able to boot system without wiping my data.
Please?

This is the actual way to install or upgrade an OS
Boot to TWRP
ADB sideload oos 9.0.14
ADB sideload TWRP installer
Reboot system (Yes boot to system not TWRP..don't flash Magisk too now)
Let the phone boot
Go back to TWRP
Install Magisk

What you should have done is not flashed magisk, but booted back to recovery, flashed oos again so you have it on both slots. Flashed TWRP again, booted back to recovery then flashed magisk and then to system.
If you had encountered encryption, you could either start fresh with MSM and have to re-root. Or you could have wiped data and sideloaded OOS & TWRP from an OTG or PC so you wouldn't have to go through the process of using adb and re-rooting.
Well, thank you two very much, but . . . . crud. Here's what I've done now:
per sanjeev7 I did this:
Code:
boot to TWRP (it won't boot to anything else, lol)
adb sideload OnePlus6TOxygen_34_OTA_021_all_1905281358_e3b3.zip
adb sideload twrp-3.3.1-6-fajita-installer.zip
Reboot system
It didn't boot to system, but booted back into TWRP so the additional step to sideload Magisk was moot.
So, then I went with what ebproject said above which on the surface looked more promising(?):
Code:
Boot TWRP
adb sideload OnePlus6TOxygen_34_OTA_021_all_1905281358_e3b3.zip

Reboot to TWRP via phone
adb sideload OnePlus6TOxygen_34_OTA_021_all_1905281358_e3b3.zip
adb sideload twrp-3.3.1-6-fajita-installer.zip
Reboot TWRP via phone
adb sideload Magisk-v19.3.zip
Reboot System
Still would not boot into system, but just back to recovery (TWRP).
I know I could probably do a data wipe after sideload TWRP installer, but I'm being stubborn. I have an app called Fuel Log that I track all my vehicle expenses on. I can make a backup within the software that I can then copy from the 'sdcard'. And I also have pdf maps which I would like to be able to access my 'sdcard' to get the most recent maps from, but it would be easy enough to get the two or six newest maps since my last backup of the files from my 'sdcard'. And then there's my stock tracking app which I don't think I can backup my current stuff without doing a Titanium. Still could be done manually. So at the end of the day, I really wish I could get into system just once to backup fuel log.
None of it is the end of the world, as I am going to receive a Oneplus 7 Pro tomorrow. I just wish I could make as seamless a transition as possible. I do have Titanium backups from a few months ago for all these above named apps, but like I said, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
What if I did the second set using OOS 9.0.12 instead of 9.0.14 since that is the version of the Nandroid backup that I restored? Or, and this is a long shot I know, what if I flashed a different ROM altogether? I do know that dirty flashing a different ROM is almost impossible, but maybe?
That's a classic symptoms of the loss of encryption keys for the /data directory (for some reasons, despite the dual-boot setup sharing the same /data directory, but uses two separate different keys for each slots - a definite bad idea).

Okay, to start off, before you started any of this what was you OS were you running?
That's what you need to try and sideload to try get the encryption back to normal because of the mismatch in security patches.

And then there's my stock tracking app which I don't think I can backup my current stuff without doing a Titanium. Still could be done manually. So at the end of the day, I really wish I could get into system just once to backup fuel log.
None of it is the end of the world, as I am going to receive a Oneplus 7 Pro tomorrow. I just wish I could make as seamless a transition as possible. I do have Titanium backups from a few months ago for all these above named apps, but like I said, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
What if I did the second set using OOS 9.0.12 instead of 9.0.14 since that is the version of the Nandroid backup that I restored? Or, and this is a long shot I know, what if I flashed a different ROM altogether? I do know that dirty flashing a different ROM is almost impossible, but maybe?

If you are not sure how to boot into either slots in Fastboot, here's the slot switch command;
fastboot --set-active=a
(Set to Slot A, substitute with B if you want to boot into Slot B.)
Afterwards, reboot (you can alternatively reboot into the bootloader by typing into "fastboot reboot-bootloader" so you can retry the data salvation via fastbooted TWRP).

Okay, to start off, before you started any of this what was you OS were you running?
That's what you need to try and sideload to try get the encryption back to normal because of the mismatch in security patches.

I was on 9.0.12. I did already sideload the 9.0.12 app then sideload TWRP (version I mentioned above) then sideload Magisk. I obviously took a bit of a break, rec'd my OnePlus 7 Pro last night. And of course, like any good Andoird'er I had to get it all rooted and stuff, you know, first things first, lol. So tonight I will probably try some more.
As in I'll sideload 9.0.12, sideload TWRP, reboot system and if it works I'll not really worry about magisk since I will be in.
Thank you very much.

Wow, thanks. I don't have Whatsapp and as my signature says, I usually try to read read read, then after doing some steps with fail, I give up and post, lol. So I was done by the time I posted.
Like I said in my previous post, I rec'd my 7 Pro last night and got it ready to be set the rest of the way up, so tonight I will try this new method. Just curious, should I do the slot switch within TWRP or should I do it as Dr. Mario said and use fastboot to switch?
Thanks a bunch everyone.

U can simply go to TWRP and click on REBOOT...u will get option...SLOT A....SLOT B....try both the slots...one one time...I hope u boot!!
I was able to!
Either fastboot or TWRP, you can use either methods of switching the active slots. TWRP is much easier though.

Well boys, I can't say I/we didn't give it the old college try. Dang it!
So, I'm not going to put out as much detail as I did before since by now you know what I'm doing step by step. I'll point out that the 9.0.12 file (yes I used that one) I used is this one: OnePlus6TOxygen_34_OTA_019_all_1901231347_fb09dd2d4.zip
So:
Boot into TWRP
sideload ROM
sideload TWRP
Went to reboot menu (in TWRP) saw that I was on slot a, but just used the Recovery reboot button. Once back into TWRP, I went again to the Reboot menu and saw that I was already now on slot b. Repeated above and then sideloaded Magisk. Reboot. Back to TWRP only. Ugh! Tried it again, but instead of rebooting TWRP after the one slot, just changed slots without rebooting TWRP and repeated. Did not sideload Magisk. Still a fail.
I'm about done here, but there was one message on my computer within the command window that was shown after the second flash of the ROM on both tries:
ADB: Failed to read command: no error.
What a journey! Thanks guys. And/or girls if any of you are girls, hehe.

Hi Guys,
yesterday the new update came out, great.
I of course immediately pulled the zip (source) and installed it with TWRP (source).
So far no problems.
After a while I realized that I no longer had root because the apps stopped working.
When I wanted to boot into the TWRP to reinstall Magisk, I unfortunately found that it was no longer available, but only stock recovery.
Well, I thought to myself and tried to reinstall TWRP (method-twrp-3.3.1-2-davinci-fix), which was fatal, because my cell phone only booted into the Fastboot.
Then I got my cell phone, set up again with the Fastboot method.
Now I'm back to 11.0.4.0 but unfortunately without TWRP and root.
Can someone please describe how I can get TWRP and root again on Android 10?
I am thankful for every help !!!
Same thing happening to me, no matter what I do, stock recovery keeps overwriting TWRP
Oh dear, that doesn't sound good.
I hope there will be a solution to the problem soon.
I don't want to do without TWRP and root.
I wanted to try it according to these instructions "https://miui.blog/redmi-k20/twrp-mi-9t-redmi-k20-vbmeta-mauronofrio/". But don't trust me, I'm afraid that it won't work and I can start all over again.
Flash official TWRP this morning with fastboot commands without problem.
1. reboot in fastboot mode
2. Flash recovery with this command "fastboot flash recovery yourrecovery.img"
3. Reboot in recovery with this command "fastboot boot yourrecovery.img"
Any problems here.
The fact that twrp is lost when flashing official rom (even thought twrp itself) is normal. You just have to reboot into bootloader and flash twrp again and it will be back.
Your problem here is that you are using an old and unofficial twrp build, that has problems on newer roms. Flash official twrp and you'll be fine

Does anyone dare to test this?
Here is the link to the TWRP for our Mi9t
> TWRP-3.3.1-1109-DX (полный комплект для установки) <
Check it out...
I finally got it
I did the following.
"V11.0.4.0.QFJEUXM" flashed in the TWRP and booted into the system, TWRP will be overwritten.
Now flashed TWRP "twrp-3.3.1-0-davinci.img" in Fastboot and booted into Recovery (TWRP).
To be on the safe side, I had the cell phone booted again into the TWRP in the TWRP.
Then I flashed Magisk "Magisk-v20.3.zip".
Booted cell phone into the system and everything works.

Where did you get the twrp file from?
You can use OrangeFox Recovery if you want a TWRP that can survive after flashing MIUI ROMs or updates :

To install TWRP, is it neccesary to wipe Data (or something else)?
And if Data must be wiped, does it mean that Data will no more be encrypted as originally by MIUI?
I have 11.0.4.0, rooted by Magisk (Magisk installed simply by patching and flashing boot.img, did not need TWRP for, did not wipe Data, etc) and I possibly want to have TWRP but don't want to loose encryption of Data, Widewine L1 and so

You don't need to wipe anything to install a custom Recovery (like TWRP).
TWRP can handle ROM encryption, you just need to install a correct TWRP, and version, for your current MIUI / Android version.
A custom Recovery doesn't change Widevine level.
And TWRP is useful in case of bootloop (because of an installed Magisk module, by example) or if you want to easily reinstall Magisk after ROM update.

Ok thanks, so starting from v11.0.4.0 QFJEUXM, rooted by Magisk (did not wipe Data or so, just patched and flashed boot img), is it ok just to flash (from Fastboot) twrp-3.3.1-0-davinci.img, downloaded from the official site https://twrp.me/davinci/twrp-3.3.1-0-davinci.img
Maybe I could test first by

Something is fishy. IMO, if that official TWRP is really ok for 11.0.4.0, then it should correctly boot by:
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-davinci.img
But phone rebooted into the dark.
TG, I didn't really flash with, so by long pressing Pow it rebooted to system.
Tried again, no avail
Edit:
Tried the same fastboot boot with
twrp-3.3.1-12-davinci-mauronofrio.img and also OrangeFox-R10.1_1-Stable-davinci.img (obtained by unzipping OrangeFox), but it also reboots to dark and I have to long press Pow to reboot to system

Will this be able to format data on Android 10 encryption like SHRP?
Flashed it from fastboot but doesn't come ,only comes fastboot mode ?
Only Sharp works in 10 properly.

It just won't boot. You can still recover from this by enabling the setting in twrp and reformatting data.
You will lose data regardless of this being enabled because this is only used for formatting data. That's what formatting data does

5. reboot recovery
6. format data
7. install miui12
8. reboot
will this steps safely boot my device???
hello. first thank you very much for your hard work. i really apreciate.
so, i was on stock rom, freshly unlock the bootloader and flash twrp unofficial for android 10.
then in twrp i flash the zip installer and reboot to recovery.
once again in twrp i, like i'm use to, wipe successfully dalvik/system/data to erased all of stock rom.
then i format data (the one typing "yes" for confirmation) but it broke internal storage.
twrp does not show any file or folders. i rebooti in recovery but it won't show anything
i reflash twrp and the same... nothing.
so i went to fastboot mode and flash shrp, boot up in recovery but it was still not showing files or folders of internal storage. i wipe dalvik/system/data and reboot to recovey.
and this time it show folder but with codes like "QRGHQ9R4HGVUQE4RNG98TH9324HTG923" OR "66EFQ3KFK4TK34KT3K4K34K2KK2" and so...
what do i 'm doing wrong?
can i format data with out breaking internal storage?
the only thing i can do to get internal storage was flash stock rom again, i have not encrypted anything, i don't use microsd card, even i don't use password to unlock screen.
thanks in advance for your comments.

Ok you performed Format > And type "Yes" , actually this will Format your internal storage as well, RIP for your Data now else you took a backup earlier.
Now connect your phone to your PC with data cable , in mount section check if MTP is enabled if not then enable it , now your phone's internal storage shows in PC transfer Rom flash Zip files to internal storage, disconnect from PC and flash that rom.
Recovery choice is yours SHRP or TWRP
Note - Do not perform format > yes before flashing that zip.

Not able to flash recovery
I am on the latest stock android patch, probably that's why not able to flash recovery.
First I tried TWRP 3.3.1-2 Unofficial by Nikesh Kataria from the other post. As it said it supported android 10 with decryption and everything. But it didn't work.
Now with version 3.4.0-0, I am able to boot into recovery using platform-tools. But the files in /sdcard seems to be encrypted (judging by the codes shown instead of readable folder names).
Could someone please help me suggest any recovery which supports latest stock android 10 with decryption?
Is there a way around this?

Decryption will only work if you format data first. This is with every recovery. Has to be a factory reset of stock ROM or fresh install of custom ROM and from then twrp will be able to decrypt if it is installed, you're not installing it either by the way just temporarily installing it to inactive slot which will get wiped on reboot. For twrp to decrypt you must install it using the installer.zip by flashing it in you're temporarily installed twrp.img

Thanks for the help.
But after booting into twrp, how do I install twrp.zip. I even tried sideload that also errors out "Unable to find partition for path /cache".
May be I am missing some step. But here is what I have done.
Unlocked bootloader.
Booted into TWRP on inactive_slot(i.e. slot_b , in my case) with command fastboot flash boot twrp.img
Trying to install twrp.zip (failing at this step itself).
