TWRP decryption on H870 = OK or not? - LG G6 Questions and Answers

Hello, despite searching i couldn't find my answer. Is TWRP able to decrypt the h870 encrypted data partition (through pin, pattern, etc..)? Very important for me & i got a good deal on it that expire soon. Hope you can tell me, thanks!

Unpredictable. I would keep data decrypted if you like to play with custom roms and TWRP. If you do stock based only (Nougat, Oreo), then encryption will work fine with Magisk rooting. To backup data using TWRP though, OFFICIAL TWRP for H870 can decrypt data fine but UNOFFICIAL TWRP won't (needed to flash newest custom roms). Some people use both TWRP versions (official one at twrp.me to backup rom, and unofficial 3.2.3 to flash latest custom roms)

I see.. And what's the lastest lineage/resurection rom that's compatible with offical twrp, how far does it goes..?
PS: "then encryption will work fine with Magisk rooting" what?! we're talking about twrp decryption, what's with magisk..?

Possible twrp for samsung galaxy j7 prime G610M/DS

http://www.androidinfotech.com/2016...-j7-prime-g610m-marshmallow-install-twrp.html
I was looking around online for a possible recovery and came across this twrp for j7 prime G610 M. It is a unofficial twrp. Actually theres 2 twrp files.. im not sure who made the twrp recoverys but it might work.. i know what caught my eyes was in earlier versions of cwm and twrp there was encryption blocking the mounting of internal storage and external storage.. in theses 2 twrps it says nothing about the encryption and says you can mount both storages and flash zips from them. Im not sure if this is the same recovery that was already posted here before or if its someone elses builds of twrp.
This is my phone information hopefully this twrp works id love to make a back up and flash supersu.
Official or Unofficial, twrp cannot mount data if it's encrypted.
TWRP just doesn't support Samsung encryption at the moment.

Hello friend sorry for asking this .... this patch makes it work properly this twrp?
Sorry for asking that but i am newbie and i want to install a custom rom on sm-g610m / ds
Greetings from Costa Rica Central America.

No OS installed. TWRP cannot flash new custom ROM

Hello,
I have a big problem. I don't know what to do.
I wanted to make a clean install of OxygenOS 4.5.8 and so i downloaded it, did it on SD card together with Magisk and no_verity_op5.zip (because i read that this decrypt the data).
So i cleand data and installed no_verity_op5.zip via TWRP, but when i wanted to reboot it takes way to long (i waited 30minutes but it stays on boot circle)
After that i booted into TWRP and decided to made a factory reset and to install OxygonOS 4.5.8 in a clean version. But it was not possible anymore!
When i want to install the .zip it says Patching system image unconditionally... and it loads. after the blue is full it says:
writing static_nvbk image...
patching firmware images...
script succeeded: result was [1.000000]
And when i want to boot into system it says no OS installed.
I tried also to flash this rom or even any other custom rom through ADB Sideload but it does not work. Same like above..
What can i do? I do not know what to do
I hope my phone is not bricked.
Thank you for any suggestion.
Go to oneplus 5 official download page, download stock recovery and latest stock firmware and follow instructions on the download page.... But first with TWRP take a backup of all your data because restoring stock firmware will ERASE everything... Don't panic it will works
First off, don't panic! you're not bricked as long as you can reach your bootloader and recovery.
This happened to me as well and luckily the fix is easy!
You probably tried to flash the OxygenOS build from the Oneplus downloads right?
Somehow these won't flash properly through TWRP and you must therefore also flash the Oxygen recovery image listed in the downloads.
Here are some steps that'll fix your problem.
1 - Backup all of your private data from internal storage because flashing OxygenOS will WIPE/ENCRYPT all data on your device.
2 - Go to the Oneplus download center and download both the latest OxygenOS and it's appropriate recovery:
http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-5/oneplus_5_oxygenos_4.5.8
3 - Boot into your bootloader and flash the stock recovery you just downloaded. (fastboot flash recovery <recovery>.img)
4 - Boot into the Oxygen recovery and flash OxygenOS.
This should get you up and running again.
Once you get tired of OxygenOS simply reboot back into your bootloader and flash TWRP and any rom of your liking.
In the future if you want to flash OxygenOS from TWRP you have to grab a build from XDA I guess. I'm not entirely sure why flashing from within TWRP won't work with stock OOS but I believe it expects to be flashed from withing the stock recovery.
I'm pretty confident this will solve your problems.
Please backup your data first though, don't want anything to get messed up in there!
Good luck!
Ok thank you.
i will try it.
So you are right, i tried to install OxygenOS with TWRP.
So is it not possible to have official OxygenOS with TWRP, Magisk and Root?
So i cannot backup OxygenOS with TWRP?

It is possible to have both OxygenOS and TWRP for sure!
Only a clean flash from a non-encrypted state in TWRP seems to break stuff. You can use a modified OOS build from the forums.
TWRP can indeed backup your OOS install so that shouldn't be a problem.
The only exception seems to be flashing a clean install of OxygenOS (from Oneplus Download center) through TWRP.
Other than that everything works as expected.
Ok thank you.
So i will follow you instructions and i hope it will work.
And i think so.
And after it i will install TWRP again (because i need the backup tool), i will install magisk. will this work?
So i can use everything as in a custom rom, but cannot make a clean install? So official Oneplus OTA will work with TWRP or not?
Thank you soooo much!
Also, Magisk/root works just fine on OxygenOS.
Once you flashed OOS from the stock recovery and have everything set up simply boot into your bootloader and flash TWRP.
From there you flash Magisk and everything should be fine.
OTA's from Oneplus also install fine through TWRP as long as you go into Magisk and uninstall 'root' first. When OxygenOS tells you there's an update simply remove Magisk as I said above and it'll update fine.
Ok thank you!
It worked!!!!! I am very happy!
So i will now install TWRP, and then magisk (newest version).
I have a question, because the last time i installed magisk it did not fully work.
If i install it i have root or? But how can i get saftynet in magisk?

First off! YAY!! glad it worked out!
Be sure to use the TWRP build from the twrp.me website. The one listed on these forums are 'unofficial'. Not saying those are bad, but the official one has a pretty impressive track-record.
After flashing Magisk you are root-enabled so yeah, congrats you are now root! In order to pass safetynet you must enable 'magisk hide' in the magisk manager (the app that should now be installed on your phone).
If you do not have an app called 'magisk manager' then you can download this app from the magisk forums. It should however install itself while flashing the Magisk zip. So assuming you have it installed find the 'magisk hide' service and enable it.
From my experience you sometimes need to reboot in order for it to pass safetynet check.
Glad it all worked out for you!
Everything worked!
Now i have OxygenOS 4.5.8 (with OTAs in future), magisk + root + saftynet and i can install something throug TWRP and backup.
SO PERFEKT.
You are a hero

Use official TWRP or Blu_spark? Use Magisk or Super SU?

Simple question, but not easy to find answer, without reading 1000s of posts i guess, for someone who has not spent much time here in recent past.
I read Official guide to root OP5.
It gives option to use either Official TWRP or Blu_Spark? Which is better and more recomended?
Use Super SU or Magisk root?
On OP3T i was using Super SU for days and it had bootloop and other issues, after days i read a post in some threat Super SU has issues with that specific thing, use Magisk, i used it issue was gone.
Save me again from reading for hours, kindly someone with should answer my question, for me and for others like me.
Thanks in Advance.
Update: Answer is Blu_Spark and Magisk
About TWRP I'm not entirely sure. They all work for flashing stuff, but some can't restore data very well.
I personally use Magisk. And probably most people too.
Magisk is up to date and You can pass safetynet. SuperSu is number one Root app since years but Magisk is the future and better in my option.
I hope the Twrp guys will bring a updated recovery soon. Official can Not restore data... If u use blu_spark Kernel the blu_spark recovery is Best joice
You don't need to use Blu Spark kernel to use Blu Spark TWRP. Blu Spark TWRP is much more up to date than official TWRP and it works perfectly. You can make Nandroid backups with data and restore them with no issues in Blu Spark TWRP. In official TWRP your phone will go into a bootloop.
Magisk is a better root option if you want to pass safety net after rooting. If you don't care about that then people generally use SU instead. Magisk also has modules to add functionality but those are extremely hit or miss and don't work as intended on all devices.

So it is safe to say Average/Layman here should use Blu_Spark TWRP.
Super SU is fine for other devices, it was Okay on OP3, but on my OP3T, it was as good as unusable, which is also called waste, so Magisk is better option.
I don't know (or in need of) saftynet, don't want to mess with kernals, OOS is fine enough for me, my only genuine need to root device is to use medium roboto (bolder) and to use titanium back, and to batch freeze Apps when i need to hand device to someone.
Other than that i am fine OOS.
Then use blu_spark recovery and magisk Root and u Arena Google to Go. Using magisk online for Kernel Apps so u can use the Option in magisk settings only Main Funktion. Which means Root.
latest Blu_Spark TWRP and Magisk 14.3 highly recommended ... they are up-to-date and working great.

[GUIDE] How to root Stock Oreo 8.1 soak test with magisk

I followed many guides out there and none worked, phone would always bootloop or freeze at Motorola's logo.
Now I've found a way to do it.
You can use the files attached below.
INSTALLATION
1.back up your system, data and boot partition. If the process fails restoring those will revert the changes.
2.Download and flash Magisk 15.3 (later versions didn't work for me, phone wouldn't boot at all) through twrp.
3.Flash the latest f2fs loop back work around.
4. Flash magisk manager for recovery (mm-2018.8.1.zip attached below)
5.Boot your phone
UPDATING TO MAGISK 16.0
Once the phone has booted:
1.install magisk manager 5.8.3 (attached below)
2.Open magisk manager
3.if any update is available for magisk manager, install it.
4.click on the button that tells you to update magisk to latest version.
IMPORTANT:
5. Select the direct installation method. Flashing the update through recovery will render the phone unable to boot again.
That's it, thanks.

Magisk 15.3 doesn't come with magisk manager, so you either have to flash it from recovery or install the provided apk directly.
EDIT: Mm for recovery is actually a module that allows you to list and Uninstall modules from Twrp in case your phone no longer boots after flashing a module.
and you're correct, magisk 15.3 does include magisk manager and will install it. the problem I had is that I flashed magisk 15.3 over a system where either the boot.img was already patched, and I experienced that magisk manager sometimes wont be installed in these cases

One question, why do you flash a 64bit recovery in-between? You can backup efs with official TWRP too, just persist needs a special unofficial build (or you can do it by dd command).
Are you sure that no-verity.zip is needed?
That job should be done by magisk.

As far as I know official twrp doesn't backup any of those. I'm on 3.2.3.0 official and it doesnt offer an option to backup neither efs nor persist.

I'm on 3.2.2.0 and it offers the ability to backup EFS, 3.2.1.0 also.
As said, for persist there are several unofficial builds but you can back it up with those commands in TWRP terminal:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist of=/sdcard/persist.img
for backup and
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/persist.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist
for restore.

Guys pls keep one thing in mind.
Rooting causes some issue.
If you are installing soak 8.1 , then this post is for you.
First of all , there is no fully independent rom for soak test , i mean that its an ota , so rooting this rom will prevent you from upgrading via ota, so you will have to go to 7.0 then 8.1 then any further ota, which is time comsuming..... If this helped , i would be gladed

Chekm8Qc confirmed here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77906610&postcount=56 that he could directly install the latest Magisk version (currently 17.1) on Oreo 8.1 OPP28.85-16 eliminating the need to install an older version first as recommended in this thread.
I can also confirm, installed straight away 17.1 and worked flawlessly, no bootloop and safety net passed.
Please Update!
Using the currently newest version which is Magisk18.0.zip (flashed in twrp64bit) Magisk Manager showed up in my device app list, then installed the currently newest apk, which is MagiskManager-v6.1. After that i had root. I only flashed f2fs after magisk, no mm_for_recovery.
Quick question: what exactly is that f2fs bug which that file should fix? Because after i installed twrp i had to factory reset or format data that i was able to flash things (there were red lines while trying to flash, telling me that data is encrypted or so and i have to forma data). But even though i did and tried then your versions & mm_for_recovery (which didnt work at all, no root) when i wanted to restore the boot & system image i made earlier as you said there was that text again, telling me i need to format data,.. did that, restored, flashed new versions and it worked, but im afraid that i need to format dat now everytime i want to flash something ?!

Rooting with official rom?

Hi fellows
I wanted to root my Mi 9T, but I don't want to flash a custom rom, I just want to have root on the official rom (global stable).
As I understand, the correct procedure is:
-unlock nootloader
-flash twrp
-flash magisk
But I have a couple of doubts about this, in particular about updates:
-If my phone is unlocked and I have root, will I still receive official updates from xiaomi?
-if yes, do they install via twrp? Do they fail installation? Do I loose root/bootloader unlock if I install them on unlocked/rooted phone?
-if no, is there an alternative way to install updates without losing root every time?
In other words, what is the best way to have a rooted phone but with official, up-to-date rom? (I have no problems downloading/installing updates manually, but having to reapply root every time would be annoying)

As I know you could receive updates if you unlock your bootloader and flash magisk, I don't have experience with that, I've read that from other brands people do this and still get their updates.
If I'm wrong correct my.
• You will receive the ota but it won't install
• You'll have to install the full rom and reflash Magisk everytime
• Orange Fox recovery can install ota BUT not available for Mi 9T/K20
I'm not sure about Mi 9t (have to wait for bootloader unlock), but it was so on Redmi 3s: I can install OTA updates, it goes through TWRP, but after every update I have to flash Magisk.
It was several years ago, so probably they've changed something
Thanks for your replies guys.
I can now confirm (just tested) that to update a rooted mi9t all you have to do is this:
-flash update zip with twrp (you have to download the update zip from somewhere, like mifirm website, the one downloaded by the update tool is encrypted and won't work!)
-flash magisk
-reboot
Very simple! No need to reflash magisk modules, just the magisk base package and everything works as expected ?

First TWRP that came out (LR Team), but that is because it was the only one available at the time, there might be better ones out now, check the TWRP thread for more info.
Magisk, I used the latest stable release.

Thanks for your replies guys.
I can now confirm (just tested) that to update a rooted mi9t all you have to do is this:
-flash update zip with twrp (you have to download the update zip from somewhere, like mifirm website, the one downloaded by the update tool is encrypted and won't work!)
-flash magisk
-reboot
Very simple! No need to reflash magisk modules, just the magisk base package and everything works as expected

I think it is more simple to do the update and reflash magisk instead of searching for the update package manually, isn't it?

You mean flash the fastboot rom using a computer and then reinstall twrp and magisk?
Seems more convoluted to me, since you still need to download the rom from an external website and additionally you need a pc and you need to reflash twrp every time.... it'll probably work fine, but it seems more complicated to me

Nah, I mean you flash the update you get the usual way. And then magisk afterwards. At least I've never lost twrp with OTA updates.

You mean the one downloaded through the miui updater? I can't flash that with twrp, it's encrypted. In fact, I can't even open the zip file with file manager, it says the file is corrupted. How do you decrypt/use it?
Few days ago I got OTA update while having magisk root and TWRP installed. It rebooted phone into TWRP and installed itself through TWRP. So it seems Xiaomi can now detect what recovery you are using and instead send you recovery OTA instead? Sadly I lost TWRP and root this way and needed to find newer TWRP (old one didnt boot and caused bootloop). Rom also didnt boot (after flashing new TWRP) until I flashed magisk.
Thank you all, it's nice to find this post before I create a new with the same questions.
I bought a new "Mi 9t", it received the latest OTA update, and it has been unlocked after waiting 170 hours.
MIUI Version: MIUI Global 10.3.11 Stable
Android Version: 9 PKQ1.190302.001
Model Name: M1903F10G
Now I need to root it without flashing twrp, I need to be on the Stock recovery because I don't want to lose the OTA update.
I ran this command :
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot boot recovery.img
Downloading ‘boot.img’ OKAY [ 1.404s]
booting OKAY [ 0.127s]
Finished. Total time: 1.560s
but the device reboot to MI-Recovery 3.0, can someone correct me if I'm wrong? also which twrp version support MIUI Global 10.3.11 Stable?

Weird, I tried that (downloading update from the updater app and rebooting to twrp to auto-flash it), but TWRP said update was corrupted. I had to download an unencrypted version from mifirm site to flash it with twrp.
Maybe it's a problem with the version of twrp? Which one are you using? I'm using the one from LR Team

oh I wish I knew After update when I went to flash back old twrp and magisk it resulted in bootloop so I was flashing all twrp I could find just to make them boot and then be able to flash magisk. However name of my file is "recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-0607-REDMI_K20-CN-wzsx150" I think its "fixed" chinese one.
Is "recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-0607-REDMI_K20-CN-wzsx150" support for MIUI Global 10.3.11 Stable?
Can I boot from it to root Mi 9T without flashing?
