fastboot help

I was flashing TWRP
I couldn't boot into system after flashing..
This is what I did:
1. fastboot boot recovery.img
2. Swipe to allow modifications in twrp
3. Flash TWRP installer zip
4. Reboot into partition B
5. Reboot bootloader
6. fastboot boot recovery.img
7. Swipe to allow modifications in twrp
8. Flash TWRP installer zip
9. Then I rebooted into recovery to check if recovery boots and it did.
But afterwards couldn't boot back into system. It was again booting into recovery.
I booted into recovery using fastboot boot, that's why it might won't boot into system. Is there a command to boot into system after above procedure?

Kindly also suggest source of files you used, if you know another working method.

I have the same problem. Meanwhile, flash the stock fastboot images.

Why do you want to have TWRP installed? I am following these steps each month (fastboot ROM was always out sooner than my OTA) without any issues.
1. flash stock ROM via fastboot
2. fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1.img and don't allow system modifications or you won't be able to apply OTA
3. install magisk 15.1
4. reboot to system
If first boot takes more than 2-3 minutes, hold power off button until phones restarts, second start will take the usual time.

I also don't allow any modifications from TWRP, and just boot to TWRP when I need to. I do not install TWRP.
Sounds like you'll have to do a miflash of the rom, then try not installing TWRP and not allowing any modifications in TWRP to system. Just use TWRP to flash Magisk.

* * * [Pixel 2 XL] - UPDATE Monthly Factory Image / UPGRADE To New OS * * *

WHO IS THIS GUIDE FOR:
Anyone updating factory images within the same OS version (10 to 10)
Anyone upgrading from one OS to another (9x to Android 10)
Below is a QUICK REFERENCE guide for those who have done this before, and a DETAILED STEP BY STEP guide for the first or second timer who needs each and every step outlined. Links to all required files are also provided (make sure you are selecting the latest version)
UPDATE TO THE LATEST FACTORY IMAGE . . . UPGRADE TO THE NEXT OS. . .
PREP WORK:
* Unlocked bootloader. (*performing critical_unlock only required with bootloader versions PRIOR to TMZ20a) read it here.
* Latest SDK Platform Tools found here.
* USB 2.0 & 3.0 cables available (trust me)
* Remove screen lock security before starting
* Remove all substratum overlays
*Download and extract the latest Taimen factory image (place the second extracted folder in Platform Tools folder)
CLEAN FLASH (wipe everything) or DIRTY FLASH (keep data)
Decide now whether you want a fresh OS that will restore your device to factory setup OR if you want to flash the latest factory image but keep your data.
For a clean flash: leave the FLASH-ALL file intact, change nothing.
To retain your data: EDIT the FLASH-ALL file and REMOVE the -w near the end of the script. Save the file and reopen it to ensure the -w has been removed,
When UPGRADING from one OS to another I reco a CLEAN FLASH (leave the -w intact)
Place these files on your sdcard (either before dirty flash or from PC after clean install):
* Latest TWRP.ZIP
* Your preferred customer kernel zip, I use ElementalX kernel
* Magisk uninstall instructions In the event you need to manually uninstall and reinstall MM
* Latest Magisk.zip
* Latest Magisk Manager APK
NOTE: On Android 10, when flashing TWRP Installer, kernels, magisk , etc. in TWRP, ignore the warning "FAILED TO MOUNT '/system' (invalid argument) this is a known issue with TWRP + 10 but affects nothing :good:
QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE for updating/upgrading Pixel 2 XL:
Once you verify 'fastboot devices' on command prompt
Type flash-all to install factory image (allow it to install, and boot into system)
Hold vol down and power button to boot into bootloader
Fastboot into twrp 3.3.0-0.IMG
Flash the twrp installer 3.3.0-0.ZIP,
Flash custom kernel, I use flar2's ElementalX Kernel. SELECT THE CORRECT 9X OR ANDROID 10 KERNEL
Let the system boot up to verify.
Reboot back into twrp and flash latest magisk
Reboot to system
Profit
DETAILED STEP BY STEP GUIDE for updating monthly factory images, or upgrading to the next OS (ie: 9x to 10x)
I reco a CLEAN FLASH (leave the -w intact) when jumping from one OS to a new one (not necessary when doing monthly factory updates within the same OS version)

Make sure you have all the correct and/or latest versions of SDK Tools, factory image, TWRP.img and TWRP.zip, and Magisk
Note: as a matter of superstition, I reboot back into recovery each time after installing TWRP, cust kernel, and magisk, prior to booting into system. It is NOT required, but it works
Again, HUGE thanks to @Badger50 for his invaluable input

Sometimes it takes 5 minutes or so on first boot. If it doesn't work, do a hard restart a few times. If that doesn't work, flash magisk again in twrp.

So your bootloader _critical partition isn't unlocked?? Which can't be right either since you've been able to boot fastboot the update to P. Guess I just don't know what your trying to say.

If you flashed the factory image with no issues, then you must have completed critical_unlock as well, otherwise the new bootloader shouldn't have taken (as far as I understand).
I'd start from scratch again, and make sure you follow the process exactly. Many users have used this with no issue, so maybe you missed something? The first time I flashed the factory image to my 6P (my backup) I totally skipped flashing the boot.img, and wondered why it wouldn't boot

Kudos, just what I needed to update!

Something just seems fishy to me. I've never heard of anyone not unlocking _critical, and being able to fastboot the factory image. However, it seems that you have somehow. All I can suggest is to fastboot the 9.0 again to both slots, and let it boot up each time.
Then fastboot into twrp, flash the installer zip, and let it boot up. Then go back to twrp, flash magisk uninstaller zip, then flash custom kernel, and let it boot up. Then go back to twrp, and flash magisk 1674 again.
If none of that works, I'd unlock _critical, which will wipe your phone, and then start over.

Not mandatory, but it keeps TWRP touch screen working among other things...

Just wanted to say thanks for this!
I didn't have time to update from DP5 yesterday, but I guess that was a good thing because now there's this guide, and it worked perfectly. Upgraded from DP5/flash 2.44 and who knows what Magisk version to all the latest and greatest in no time at all.
Thanks!

Flashable Recovery?

Hello, I know our great device does not have a recovery partition, so we need to use fastboot to boot TWRP. But muy question is, is there no way to boot into TWRP without a computer? Maybe a terminal command from Android itself, or a little script that we can run when needed? This might be a noob question, but I'm sure many here could profit from a positive answer.
Thanks

Assuming youre rooted... Ive used the reboot app on my phone. I have a 1926-7 Moto G6 Plus. It will boot to fastboot, fast reboot, recovery, reboot system etc. Look around xda and see if someone has a good reboot app or else use GP. I actually had twrp flashed permanently to my phone but it would not back up so I have to redo it. Also the phones data was encrypted and I didnt know how to fix it. I hope that you are able to find something that works for you

You can boot into TWRP via terminal command without using a computer. Use the 'dd' command ( 'dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.backup.img' ) to take a backup of your boot.img. Than use 'dd' to overwrite boot with twrp and reboot to recovery (dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot)
Later to boot your phone as normal you only have to install your boot.img backup via TWRP.

now we can install a TWRP 3.3.0 ONLY ON DECRYPTED ROMS (the lastest Havoc, Resurrection Remix, AEX, Decendant, PixyOS are unencripted by default) for flashing magisk modules or mods but it will be overwrite when we flash/update our custom/stock rom:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CqzvBiEfk9xucXG8UemNZMhBxDCeSV0i
How to install it:
Put the donwloaded TWRP on your plataform tools folder and in your internal/sd storage.
Boot the same TWRP (fastboot boot TWRP.img)
Go to ADVANCED and select Install Ramdisk Recovery
Check backup boot box( in case something goes wrong just restore your boot partition)
Swipe and wait until finish.
Reboot
If every reboot finishes in twrp booting just flash magisk and youll be able to boot into system.

But how do you get OTA update when there's a new one? Can you provide the steps to get OTA and then get back to root. Thanks in advance.

Just install normally via updater.
But before you restart your phone, install TWRP Retention Script via Magisk Manager to change active boot slot

Im on derp fest Q rom now i want to go to stock 10 i cannot find any latest fastboot file and there is some issues with the mi flash tool as some users were reporting getting dev error

I'm tried using two versions of TWRP(3.2.3-0 and 3.3.1-0) and got two different errors:
• No digest file found (3.2.3-0)
• Error 7 (3.3.1-0)
What should I do? I don't have any ROM's installed

All Custom ROM installations fail the same way.

I am trying to get a custon ROM to work on my Oneplus 8 Pro (instantnoodlep)
ROMs I tried installing:
Cherish OS 3.9.5
Nameless-AOSP_instantnoodlep-12.1-20220708-0935-Official
What I do:
1. Download recovery provided with the ROM
2. Reboot to bootloader and flash recovery
'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
'fastboot reboot recovery'
3. Select apply update/apply from ADB
4. Connect device to PC
5. Sideload rom.zip
'adb sideload rom.zip'
6 Do Factory reset/format data from recovery
7. Restart to system
What happens:
Phone goes to fastboot and stays there.
When I try
fastboot reboot system
or
fastboot reboot recovery
I also land in fastboot again.
The only way to get out of fastboot again is fastboot boot recovery.img, which boots into recovery. When I then reboot into system, my old OOS11 boots up.
Because this is independent of the Custon ROM, there might be another issue. But which one?

You made sure you have latest OOS11 on BOTH slots?

When you're booted in OOS 11 just do a local install of the same OOS version that you're on. That will install OOS to the other slot, meaning you'll have the same OOS version on both slots and "should" be able to flash a custom rom.

The only way to get out of fastboot again is fastboot boot recovery.img, which boots into recovery. When I then reboot into system, my old OOS11 boots up.
Because this is independent of the Custon ROM, there might be another issue. But which one?

U don't need the command fastboot reboot recovery. U can just use the volume buttons to select recovery and press power button to boot to recovery

When you're booted in OOS 11 just do a local install of the same OOS version that you're on. That will install OOS to the other slot, meaning you'll have the same OOS version on both slots and "should" be able to flash a custom rom.

Another way to set your phone up for a custom rom can be found here. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/instantnoodlep/install
Just make sure your booting from a good 00S11 install when you do this.

I had a heck of a time with this two days ago. OP pushed c33, A12 on my phone. It took forever to corrupt both a and b enough to get twrp recovery installed and working to install A11 again. I had to load the recovery on both slots, a and b and I used twrp install to install the OTA to slot a. Right now I have nothing on slot b other that twrp recovery.
