Android N stock to TWRP?

So i installed Android N via OTA update. Now I think my want my root back. Is it possible to flash TWRP now that im on Android N? Do I have to go back to marshmallow and flash the android N zip?

You can flash TWRP on android N but you will also decrypt you phone or you won't be able to access TWRP. It does not work on N if your phone is encrypted you will be stuck on the TWRP splash screen. You will have to wipe userdata and then flash unencrypted boot image, then flash TWRP, then su and you will be good.

sounds like wayyyy to much work. ill downgrade lol

If you flash all the .IMG files in fastboot with the exception of recovery, and the format userdata and cache and reflash twrp you can stay encrypted and have twrp. Then just shellac side load adb and flash su.

Have you done this?
I dont want root, I want to keep the ability to continue having updates whenever they come out. But I'm uber annoyed at the hotspot restriction I have. There's a way to remove it with twrp but I was never able to boot into twrp because of encryption.

Yes, this is how I have my phone setup, I am Fully encrypted and have TWRP booting and able to flash. This is how I root N and don't need to decrypt.

Can u give step by step method for flashing TWRP on N ??

This is not a step by step for flashing twrp on N there are plenty of those just use search.
This is how I flashed twrp without flashing any kind of modified boot.img on N.
Start on stock MM. Flash twrp.
Download N build and extract all images. Flash all partitions except for recovery. Reboot. See if you can boot to recovery. If it hangs at twrp logo Format userdata and format cache and reflash twrp. Optional: adb side load latest SU for root.

NO OS!

Hi,
Im new to this forum,
I recently went india for a holiday, from the UK, and my zuk z1 was fine, however a few days in, my phone would randomly reboot and go to the "android is upgrading, app "x" of "x"" for about 10 mins, just a random reboot.
on the day of the failure, my phone rebooted when i tried to receive a Bluetooth file, and as soon as i pressed accept it rebooted, and went to the android is upgrading page. as soon as the app number neared the total number of apps it restarted, and kept doing the same till the battery died. i charged it and turned it on, and it got stuck on the Zuk boot logo, thats it, nothing further. i was then left phoneless for the rest of the trip.
any help on how to fix this would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi.
If you have unlocked bootloader and flashed twrp.. Try this.
Go to twrp by pressing vol up + vol down and pressing power button.
You will open in twrp.
(a) restore if you have any backup.
(b) flash rom and gapps from internal storage if you have any copy of them.
(c) Push rom and gapps by usb pendrive or adb sideload.
Flash rom and gapps.
*if you are flashing rom and gapps,better wipe data>advanced wipe> everything except internal and usb otg.
* tour pics and videos from the trip are in internal storage.. Don't wipe it.. Repeat don't wipe it or you will lose them.
If you don't have twrp..
Sorry, but I am not knowledgeable enough to answer this.
Hope this helps.

You must have twrp 3.0.3.1 or twrp 3.0.4.1 and format Data in Twrp recovery in EXT4
after this you can flash universal Bootloader and Linage OS and then flash nougat Modem for G Variant and Gapps if you like .
Thats all! then Boot your Phone and enjoy.

Hello
can you boot in bootloader?
---------- Post added at 18:32 ---------- Previous post was at 18:27 ----------
When you in Bootloader
start adb command window and flash the original recovery from update.zip from wehre you come . boot the phone with SD Card inkl. update.zip in recovery . Tick format factory reset and after this tick format cache.
Next step go update from sd card and wait. when the update is finished you start your phone with the original B08 eg. B10.

Wipe is not enough, you have to format data in TWRP.

I have the same issue, with Greek twrp and the last stable or developer rom.
Format everything from twrp, reboot recovery, install the rom, format data again. And when I choose reboot system, it never open. And I can't go to twrp again, like it's lost it

same issue here. bricked phone?

can someone explain why it works by other and some guys it not work with twrp.? and flash a rom.

Android 10 Full & Fresh + TWRP + Magisk

Hello all
I was on OOS 9.0.17 + TWRP 3.3.1-20 + Magisk 20.1.
I follow SyCreed's upgrade guide and everything was ok.
I managed to flash Omega kernel and ****ed all and I must low erase/format everyting, pull boot then magisk patched to fastboot to be able te recovery to full flash & erase all partitions.
i'm now on full A10 + TWRP + Magisk using all global method:
- full flash rom
- flash twrp
- reboot recovery
- full flash rom
- flash twrp
- reboot recovery
- flash magisk
- reboot system
- do all settings from start
When I reboot to TWRP all my sdcard seems to be scrambled... Have I missed something ?

Why do you create a new thread?
Ask in Sycreed thread. It in Q and A section
And twrp stuff has been asked and answered many times you'll find all the answers by searching in twrp thread also

It's a new thread because I made a full clean install and not an upgrade. I'm in the situation of a fresh new phone with a clean OOS10 install...
I'm not anymore updated from OOS9... Maybe I was not clear and I apologize for this

It doesn't change anything about twrp and root access. Discussions in those thread are valid for your situation
Issues doesn't come from upgrade but from Android 10 and its new system file design

You need to format data before flashing the rom

As I had issues with twrp + Magisk in A10 (freezes, FC, non working WiFi) I went this way:
MSM download tool to latest OOS
Update OOS to Android 10
Reboot to bootloader
Flash twrp version ***-20
Run twrp
Instal Magisk v20.1 zip via twrp sideload
Reboot to bootloader
Flash Magisk patched boot.img
Reboot to system.
And now you'll have fully functional encrypted A10 with Magisk but without TWRP.

I will just wait until oneplus and our awesome devs fix this problem. For sure they will sooner or later

try OTG storage. It will bypass the decryption issue, you'll have to test yourself to find out if flashing works.
