Hello there everybody
I have unlocked the bootloader and installed the TWRP recovery version 3.2.3.0 angler. Then i backed up my system, opened the phone and copied magisk.zip so as to root my phone. When i went back i couldn't find the twrp and had to reinstall it. Amd it wasn't able to install the root! I downloaded another version of magisk, but the same exact thing happened again!
Are you on oreo? Cause im having the same issue. I install twrp and get overwritten when i boot up into the system.

I installed the twrp 3.0.2.2 and after installed a kernel which made the phone stuck on zte logo.
I tried to flash to the stock files using this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/a2017g-nougat-b08-twrp-bootstack-t3696479v
but when i try to install the superSu the twrp stuck after extracing files, then the phone just shuts down.
what can I do?

Update your twrp, there's no need to use that old version... my phone reboots when it wants when it has opd twrp versions
Download twrp 3.1.1-0
Put it on your phone, maybe via adb or through mtp if you have it
Go to Install -> hit the button on the right that says 'Install image'
Find the TWRP.img and install it, it will prompt you where to install it, put 'recovery'
Followed you instructions, but now i cant get into TWRP or the OS ):
Tried to flash it with axon7tool on pc, but got the same result, but when I tried to flash the 3.0.2. again, it worked.

Don't use axon7tool for this... you already have TWRP, the only thing you have to use axon7tool for is to install twrp when you have the stock recovery. after you have twrp on the phone just try not to use the PC except for maybe miflash
I tried both of this options.
Flashing new version of twrp through the old twrp resulted in black screen when i try to get to recovery.
So I flashed the old twrp from the pc, tried to flash the new one using the same method but it the same as i flashed it through the old twrp. (which mean that when i get to the recovery i get black screen)
ATM the situation is the same, system wont boot stuck on zte logo, twrp is 3.0.2.2 (there is another method to flash newer twrp?)
There is another option?
After wiping system in twrp i was able to install supersu, which means i completed this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/a2017g-nougat-b08-twrp-bootstack-t3696479v
but still stuck on zte logo after i reboot , any help?

Wait, what did you do? Did you install everything again after wiping system?
Ya, afte i wiped the system it allowed me to install the supersu without interrupts, but it did not helped.
Anyway i manged to install purefusion os, system booted up, after that the new twrp updated successfully.

You installed SuperSU without a system, and the phone did not boot up? Amirite?
what i did was wipe system dalvik cache, cache, after that install bootstack and the system files, and after that the supersu.
before i wiped the system, when i tried to install the supersu the twrp collapsed, after that it installed it but did not helped to make the system boot.
Hi, I have a essential phone running Oreo 8.1, just recently I have rooted the phone with magisk v16 an twrp 3.2.1, I successfully flashed it with twrp but after the flash whenever I want to get into twrp it just freezes up on the mount data screen and I have to force reboot it, does anyone know a solution to this problem
Make sure you're following the exact steps from this post. Every step is crucial (except #3, because you have to disable your screen lock before booting twrp.
You shouldn't have to manually mount anything in TWRP either. The magisk installer might give you an error about mounting system but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

You cannot have TWRP installed with 8.x.
TWRP is not compatible.
You must flash the original boot image, then install magisk.
TWRP cannot remain.
You will boot loop.
Please read the instructions on rooting carefully.
Ok thank you
Why can't TWRP replace recovery instead of boot?

No one has created a bit image with TWRP as the recovery.

Because the partition layout of the Essential does not have a recovery partition.
Recovery is contained in the boot image.
So to have TWRP resident/permanent, the boot image must be patched.
It has been done for 7.x, but sense 8.x is still beta, there is no official TWRP for Oreo.
Once Oreo is final, I expect we will get a TWRP that works.
The current limitation, means you can't flash without a computer handy.
I tried to update to the newest version of OxygenOS but I'm now stuck on boot circle animation and not sure what to do.
I was initially on OOS 4.5.10
Here is what I did to try to update:
1. Downloaded OOS 5.1.3 from Oneplus website and also downloaded Magisk v16
2. Downloaded TWRP twrp-3.2.1-1-cheeseburger.img and then flashed to my phone.
3. Rebooted back into TWRP, then flashed the OOS 5.1.3 .zip file. Immediately after that, I flashed the Magisk .zip.
4. I then rebooted. I'm now stuck at boot.
I am now able to access TWRP. I wanted to try and restore using a Nandroid I made, but all my files appear as gibberish. I'm assuming this is an encryption issue?
What are steps I can take to fix this?
Edit: Figured it out.
Boot using BLU Spark recovery, or any other Oreo compatible recovery. Official twrp seems to have some issues now and then

Could you tell me the exact steps to take from where I am now? I don't want to break anything else.

1) First download twrp recovery from codeworkx (Make sure you have the latest one)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-oxygenos-5-0-t3725723
2) Boot to fastboot and flash the recovery.
3) Flash the rom zip file.
4) Flash magisk zip file.
5) Restart your phone.
##Note: If you want to flash the recovery file you can do that using twrp itself or using fastboot but what I've found that some apps (banking apps) don't work after replacing recovery.
I formatted my Oneplus 6t and was able to install TWRP, but when I install the zip for LineageOS, instead of installing it as the OS, it just replaces the TWRP recovery with a Lineage one, and I am still unable to boot into system.

What version of twrp are you using? Did you use the twrp installer when installing twrp?

Solution is simple. After you flash ROM ZIP flash TWRP Installer ZIP again. Flashing ROM only Replaces TWRP with the Stock Recovery. As for why it didn't boot, there can be a number of reasons why. You'll have to explain some more so that we can help you
Lineage has it's own recovery included, that's normal. You need to reflash TWRP. Make sure you are using 3.3.1-6 or 3.3.1-7 (the latest versions) either will work.
TWRP Link in case you don't have it.
6T Lineage Install Instructions , I also have update instructions at the bottom, as the initial install is different. (It says to back everything up, as you will wipe everything, and lose all data)
I always flash the rom twice. Flash rom and TWRP, reboot recovery and flash rom and TWRP again. Reboot recovery, wipe(first option don't wipe data), flash magisk, gapps or anything else then reboot system.
hey guys, so i used twrp to flash a OTA then flashed twrp again and rebooted and when i went to flash magisk i was just shown a list of all random numbers/letters. i booted into bootloader flashed twrp img, booted into recovery and all my files were there once again but i still cant get into the OS, can anyone please help?
why is flashing so complicated these days? even the recovery works different. the last time i rooted (4 years ago maybe) you could use twrp to make a backup and it was done simple as that (i did this on the oneplus 6t about 4 weeks ago and got the issue with my storage just being a list of numbers and letters and had to find a way to fully wipe and re install OOS) and the same for flashing, i could just flash something and it was fine, no issues.
Do you have an OTG adapter and pendrive? You can copy the full OTA zip, TWRP zip and Magisk zip on to that and flash from TWRP using that. Your internal storage is encrypted and you won't be able to access it until you can reboot OOS fully. If that didn't work, you may have to do a factory reset/wipe (including internal data) to get the phone to boot again. You will obviously lose any unbacked data.
Which version of TWRP are you using? Which version of OOS are you using? Most likely you just don't have the correct version, and you updated to the latest version OOS with the new security patch and it no longer can decrypt it.
Have you tried TWRP 3.3.1-7 from here? If you boot the .img file from fastboot, can you decrypt your data?
Most likely you just need to flash Magisk, and you will be fine. For updates, it's always as you did, flash the full OTA update, TWRP installer, reboot to recovery, Magisk. It is recommended to uninstall Magisk, however I usually don't do that personally. Official Instructions here. You just have to make sure you are using the correct version of TWRP, otherwise you can run into encryption issues, as you found out when there are updates.

Latest twrp and latest full OOS OTA. If I fastboot the twrp. Img I can see all my data again. I've fixed it now, I flashed the twrp. Img in fastboot then rebooted system and it worked
