Hii All! I Was Thinking Now That We Have Root. And The Bootloader Still Locked So We Can't Use Recovery. TWRP Recovery. Is It Possible If We Are Rooted & We Use The Playstore TWRP App. To Flash Roms Through The Phone? Instead Of Goin Into TWRP Recovery Mode To Flash Roms?

Unfortunately no it won't work with the bootloader being locked, that's why when have to use flashfire to flash zip files.

There are plenty of threads to answer your vague question.... But you have to be completely stock first.
So to be more specific, would I have to flash a stock recover, lose root and upgrade. Then root and flash twrp again?

That's right.
How about just flashing the OTA zip file in TWRP? That way you wouldn't lose data, right?
Could I upgrade to the latest twrp and is there a zip to flash?

Assuming you are on Android 5 (Lollipop) then things have changed and you need to use fastboot from a PC to install TWRP 2.8.1.0
That worked for me as I just upgraded my Nexus 5 with my Nexus 10 next on the list. Of note is that you need to root your device BEFORE installing TWRP due to some Android 5 specific changes. Chainfire's root fixes that issue with custom recoveries.
For example on my linux PC:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-xxxxxxx.img
All I did is flash the original 5.0 Lollipop release, then fastboot flashed TWRP and CFAR to get back root and done. Running the stock rom with TWRP and Root with no problems. I actually find this setup to run smother than the few ROMs that were created with options in them.
Guys is that possible to root without flashing twrp recovery? Some says it's possible with magisk manager app which does not require custom recovery. I tried with kingroot but failed... Kindly help on this because I don't want to flash custom roms but I need root.

It's impossible as you can see kingroot was also failed. You need an unlocked device with a custom installed.

1. its impossible to root without custom recovery
2. Magisk needs custom recovery
3. I have never had any luck in rooting any of my phones using king-root. it will not work on Xiaomi Rn3 or Rn4. not sure about other device
4. Custom ROM is different and Custom recovery is different, - To root you NEED custom recovery. Custom ROM can only be installed after rooting and its purely your choice.
Hope my answer helped. Feel free to get back if any doubts
You can temporarily boot into twrp and install root if you have unlocked bootloader

Indeed. With fastboot, you can boot into a local (ie, on your PC) copy of TWRP
Code:
fastboot boot mytwrp.img

1. Go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re.../official-orangefox-recovery-project-t3807479
2. Follow the steps in numbers 1, 5, 6, and 8, in the "B. INSTALLATION - if you have stock miui Recovery" section (if you only want to boot, but not to flash TWRP).
Good morning all,
I tried 2 days ago to upgrade to Oreo and since then all my troubles began.
I have unlocked bootloader and encrypted device.
The problem is that in every reboot a stock recovery shows up ,while i have installed the latest blue spark or any other recovery.
Now i can only install stock rom with no root.

Are you going for root? I think you have to flash Magisk (or other root-solution) in order for your custom recovery to stick.

In Nougat that was not the case,maybe in Oreo there is something different?
I'm having a similar problem! I'm rooted, unlocked, and decrypted but I can't seem to install any Oreo Rom. Do I need to re-encrypt my rom??

No, I managed to load the latest twrp recovery and without reboot I installed the xXx rom Oreo.
After that there was an App installed already called TWRP recovery. Since I flashed the recovery again through that app the problem is gone.
Now I have Oreo xXx rom and everything works fine.
After fastboot flash recovery, reboot into recovery and flash recovery IMG again. Then it will be there regardless of what ROM encrypted or not.

Go to below link, download and flash latest fastboot ROM.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t-t3862516
If that does not work, use MS tool to recover phone to factory state.
Thanks this worked for me. Was freaking out a little. The scene has really changed since I've been here.

As an FYI, in order to root on this phone, assuming you are using Magisk (recommended) you will need to:
Unlock bootloader
Install custom rom (Optional step, but also recommended)
Then flash TWRP zip (This phone, TWRP is part of the boot.img)
Boot the phone
Reboot to recovery
Install GAPPS (OpenGAPPS Stock recommended personally, but any should work)
Then flash Magisk

Correct. I edited my comment to reflect that, however since OP installed a custom rom, I put the step in since I figured he would have asked about it.

Ok so my phone currently is bootloader unlocked and rooted with magisk. So if I want to install a custom rom I flash in twrp, then flash twrp (while still in twrp), boot phone, reboot to recovery, flash gapps then flash magisk?
read the OP in any custom rom you want to flash, and the dev will have the details on how to flash..

Essentially. Each custom ROM is differrent, so make sure to read the OP of each custom ROM you try to confirm flashing instructions but that's the **general** flashing method I use. Magisk is overwritten with each flash because Magisk installs to the same partition as the kernel.
I tried flashing TWRP to my device as I unlock the bootloader. But every time I reboot to recovery it does some funky stuff. How do I get TWRP to work m?
You unlocked the bootloader - right?
If so, get the latest TWRP for your device (that happens to be 3.3.1 HLTE), and flash it using the AP section of Odin. Either that, or from your rooted OS (your os is rooted, right?) you can flash it using the official TWRP app.
