Help withAndroid N Preview 5

Hi Guys, i have 1 little problem.

I rebooted to bootloader flashed thw twrp via Terminal, now i wanna boot into recovery because of the SuperSU zip, but i am stucking on TWRP Logo.
Phone is working normal, but i cant enter into recovery, anyone else has the same problem?
Thanks and best Regards,
Taker

You have to flash another version of TWRP... But, dude, i'm on the exact same case, same preview, and i can't get it to work. TWRP doesn't seem to work :/ I always got the god damn "no command" even if i follow some of the tutorials here...
EDIT : Try flashing the 3.0.0 or 3.0.1, and when all will be working (if you achieve, tell me how xD) update it.
EDIT 2 : I may find something, i'll let you know !

TWRP doesnt work with the developer previews without modifying the boot image.
If you want to root, you can use CF-Auto root.
You will still have the stock recovery.

This is a known issue, Search the forum for the resolution. Basically TWRP won't work on the Android N on Encrypted device.

The solution is pretty simple. You need to decrypt your device's storage. TWRP currently doesn't work with encrypted N preview.
This could be easily done by flashing the modified boot image, that will disable forced-encryption. After that, you will need to format the current userdata partition to decrypt the storage.
Code:
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
Once that is done, you can flash TWRP and then use SuperSU to root.
Another way to direct root is by using Cf-Auto-Root. But I am not sure about that specifically. While some users have succeeded, there are a few who have failed to root using Cf-Auto-Root.

Just use CF-Auto Root, it will do all the things.
Make sure you have unlocked your Bootloader and downloaded the good version of CF for your device.
Reboot your phone in bootloader mode, plug it to a computer, and just open the .bat (if you're on windows, or the equivalent for Mac / Linux). It will install SuperSU. When it's done, don't forget to download the TWRP Manager on the Playstore, and you'll have a working Recovery ! I did that, i know have a rooted nexus 6P on Android N preview 5
Also, lot's of Root's only apps will not work properly, because lots of changes took place on Android N. So make sure you follow some guide out there (exemple : Ex Kernel don't work if you don't tweak some things, same with Ad Away, so make sure you're googling)

I followed the premise of this thread here so all credits go to the OP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3410906 I flashed the latest Marshmallow vendor.img via fastboot, then flashed TWRP via fastboot. Booted into recovery from the bootloader then side loaded supersu using adb side load in TWRP. After that I rebooted to bootloader from TWRP and fastboot flashed the DP5 vendor.img and recovery.img. All is working well.

TWRP bootloop after flashing TWRP Solved

Don´t know if anybody had this kind of Problem before. Couldnt find anything.
Was on Stock V image with cutom kernel flashed via fastboot and SU flashed via fastboo boot to root.
Problem:
bootet TWRP via fastboot with newest drivers. Flashed RC via booted TWRP.
Wanted to reboot system, but was stuck in a TWRP bootloop. No chance to boot into bootloader also. Even tried changing slots in twrp but still only bootloop to twrp.
Than I thought about sideload because that's what I did with latest ota image from Google.
Here is what I did:
sideloaded the ota.zip via TWRP from PC "adb sideload ota_file.zip" ota_file should be the name of your ota file
It gave me an error, but after rebooting system all fine again. Back to stock V and bootloader is there again.

Easier thing to do is flash boot.img from the factory image to boot_a and boot_b if you are having issues.
This problem occurs when you flash TWRP if you have root installed. To avoid, remove root before installing TWRP.
Oh, I should mention to get into bootloader from TWRP, simply use the adb command "adb reboot bootloader". Should work, worked for me.

I just have avoided flashing TWRP altogether. I rarely need to flash anything, so it can wait until I am at work or home to use a PC to BOOT TWRP each time I need it, instead of flashing it.

Until it gets a little more stable on the Pixel, this is probably a good idea.

Good idea. But I M sometimes flashing when I am at or on the way to work.

I know its already solved, but here is what helps (for future):
Just flash SuperSU (latest Version)
Done. This will patch the boot.img so your phone boots in the OS again.

I have this issue and flashing supersu didn't fix my problem. Will go to factory image flashing.

Thanks! This worked for me.

EDIT: Never mind, I missed the comment guiding ppl to flash SuperSU. I suppose that when this thread was posted, that SuperSU was still being used instead of Magisk, so solution is essentially the same thing I'm recommending.
I think this thread is missing the much easier solution here:
I just ran into this issue with my Pixel 2 XL when I tried to update my TWRP version from 3.2.1-2 to 3.2.3-0. Here's how it went:
1. Downloaded the TWRP zip, md5 and so on from the official TWRP website for the Pixel 2 XL
2. Booted to TWRP and installed / flashed the zip of TWRP 3.2.3-0
3. Wiped dalvik and then chose Reboot to System from TWRP -- the phone booted right back into TWRP
4. Tried again to reboot the same way. Same result.
5. Installed / Flashed the 3.2.1-2 TWRP zip which was still on my phone, in order to revert to the previous version, and then Rebooted to System -- same result
6. Flashed 3.2.3-0 zip again, then flashed the Flash Kernel that I've been using, and then Flashed the Magisk v16.0 zip that I used to root, then chose Reboot to System -- AND IT WORKED; the phone booted normally and now I'm updated to the latest TWRP successfully.
tl;dr - The solution is to flash Magisk again after updating TWRP. Pretty sure this goes for kernel updates too.

Aren't the two systems (Pixel OG and Pixel 2) extremely similar? If they're not, then my advice should be ignored for anyone using the Pixel OG.

Re-Rooting 1+5 after OS 5.1.1 Update

So I tried updating to Oxygen is 5.0 ran into an install issue, stuck in boot loop. Lucky I had done a Nandroid back up and restore everything. The other night I decided to update to 5.1.1 thinking why not get Android 8.1.0 on my AWESOME phone. Downloaded update, placed in internal storage, booted into TWRP to do a Nandroid back up (due to issues with past update). Back up failed needed to clean drive. So I decided, phone works in Android 7.1.1, why can't what's not broken. Rebooted phone and somehow the update activated. I freaked since last time it failed and not stuck in a loop. This time update was successful but still got stuck in a boot loop. I plugged my phone to my computer and noticed all my files were gone on their install storage, no files / foldersI recognized (e.g. DCIM, DATA, DOWNLOAD, etc). Emailed One Plus and chatted with them. TWRP was gone and was back on stock recovery. Since all was lost I was asked to "Erase All". I did, rebooted and I'm now on 8.1.1 but all my stuff was lost. So I've done since searching and found FlashFire do to a Nandroid backup but need root. So my question is...
Can I re-root my phone without using TWRP but stock recovery and use FlashFire for my back ups? I am not going to flash custom ROM but if I need to flash something, wouldn't stock ROM flash anything on my phone (Magisk)?
If so, can anyone provide me with assistance on re-rooting my phone without TWRP.
Thank you

As far as i know you can't flash anything with stock recovery so you can't root. After flashing the stock os is normal that twrp is been erased by the stock. Just re flash the twrp. I mean, maybe i didn't get the problem, why you can't reflash twrp? If you do that flash twrp codeworx Universal with fastboot in the bootloader, boot in twrp, wipe cache/dalvik, flash magisk 15.3, wipe cache/dalvik, reboot system, update magisk to 16 with the app. I do that way and it worked

Hello, thanks for the info and yes, I did try flashing Magisk with stock recovery, while waiting for a reply and can confirm installation failed. So if I reflash TWRP, flashing Magisk using TWRP will work. Therefore, do you have instructions (step-by-step) on how to install TWRP. I have downloaded the latest TWRP image from their website (twrp-3.1.1-1 cheeseburger) onto my desktop. Bootloader is already unlocked as I was previously rooted under Android 7.1.
Thank you.

This is the official guide step by step, scroll down until you find "flashing twrp" if you had already unlocked the bootloader ( you already did that right??? xD). Anyway about the recovery and magisk version. The guys in the 5.1.1 thread advised to flash magisk 15.3 instead the 16 and only after the system reboot to make the upgrade to 16 with magisk app (dunno why). But when i tried to do that the last version of twrp (3.1.1-1) failed the flash. So i flashed the twrp 3.1.1-0-universal and 15.3 magisk. I can confirm this combination work, i can't tell for other combinations.

Once you have flashed TWRP, reboot straight into recovery rather than back into the system, otherwise the system overwrites with stock recovery. Once you've done it once it should stick. Hope that works for you.
