Hi
How can i Root the A2017G oreo a2017gv1.3.0b02 ?
when i install TWRP the phone will formatted?
i have unlock the bootloader.
Just install Magisk 16.7 (even though I hate suggesting to use that software). Do not try to use 17.x or higher until you have followed the steps in this topic:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/kernel-magisk-17-stock-roms-t3856809
Unfortunately, the 2 other major root solutions out there, SuperSU and Phh's Superuser, don't appear to work with stock Oreo on the Axon 7. I tried both and got bootloops.
Edit: Sorry about that link, it seems to require B20 Oreo, which is for the A2017U. But you have B02 Oreo for the A2017G. The solution in that thread may or may not work for you, I would post there first to ask. Or just try it and see.

You just need to flash TWRP, and install Magisk from TRWRP aswell.

that is not too right... If you have a G, you need to roll back to Marshmallow (B10 or B11) and install a SIGNED TWRP (of which there's only one, Tenfar's). [DO NOT BACKUP ANYTHING IN THIS TWRP]
Then from there install the aboot and fbop files present in Controllerboy's unlock guide to get fastboot (via adb commands). then enter fastboot and issue the unlock command
After that, install any other TWRP, the official one from twrp.me might be better for stock ROMs
Based on previous conversation, Tenfar's TWRP is recommended. Can somebody provide me with the TWRP? Cannot find it anywhere due to dead link.

Hi!
I'm looking for a way to either root/twrp v1.2.0b02 (coming from stock files), or a way to apply the ota on a twrp'd/rooted v1.2.0b01.
I have tried this guide without luck starting from the point where the tool tries to flash twrp. when the phone tried to reboot into bootloader it just rebooted to the system.
With this guide i can't apply B02 as i get a mismatch error (forgot what the actual message was called).
any ideas?
thanks in advance!
edit: further information: i am currently on 7.1.1 b01 with unlocked-BL/twrp/root thanks to this guide, BUUUT i can not update from that to b02.
when i flash stock recovery and try to update via ota i get a "package mismatch" error during the update installation process while in the (stock-) recovery.
1. Which version are you running?
2. are you already unlocked and
rooted?
If yes, just flash stock recovery with axon7tool and update your system in the usual way. If done, flash back TWRP and supersu. Done.

Its a good question. For e.g. I'm on b10 G version rooted. How to come to A2017GV1.2.0B02 rooted?
Just the same. Install stock recovery and follow the update process as described everywhere in this forum.

Hello,
I'm on A2017GV1.2.0B02, and I'd like to root it.
I have installed adb and axon7toolkit, but it seems there's no stock recovery anymore since 7.x firmware. So when I issue adb edl reboot, the phone is just rebooting the OS. :/
Which steps must I follow for rooting my stock A2017GV1.2.0B02 ?
Thanks.

the command to edl is: adb reboot edl.
To boot into recovery it's just power + vol+ button.
But since nougat you cannot boot into bootloader anymore. This would be necessary to unlock the bootloader. Therefore you would have to follow the steps I already mentioned in this thread.

B01 is what? Android 7.0 or 7.1.1? If you are already on 7.1.1 you don't have to flash anything. You will receive the update to B02 OTA. Otherwise you have to follow the official steps to get where you want to be. Described a lot on xda.

Thanks for the answer, but there's no recovery for the B02 7.1.1.

You are triyng to update your sistem with twrp and the stock update.
you need to go back to stock recovery, aply update from system, wait for process and then, reboot edl, and reflash recovery.
then from recovery root

My stuff was for reinstalling TWRP on an unlocked phone after Nougat deleted it.
You should try axon7toolkit and see if that does the stuff. Another way around would be to downgrade your phone to B10 (Marshmallow) via MiFavor's update by sd thingy, (i'm not 100% sure if it lets you get to mm from nougat, but it's definitely worth a shot) then trying the BL unlock thread (NOT mine!)

Okay that happened to me. By "this guide" you mean what I posted close to the end right? the xda app just shows me the last post lol
Try to download the full B02 package. Some guy mirrored the full package on one of the B02 posts. Then try to use MiFavor's own updater. It worked for me, can't see why you couldn't use that

You'll always get that mismatch regarding what you do or try. You'll need a custom made twrp flashable zip. Tron1 and I have tried to make one but no success. We will try to make a full flashable zip based on the full image.
Even if you flash your stock recovery back and do the OTA, you'll always get a mismatch regardless what others might say.

that's what i was afraid of.
guess the zips again will be split into bootstack and system like his other flashable images, right?

No Stock ROM can not be flashed via twrp, only the OTA zips can be flashed via stock Recovery. This is the link to the fastboot ROM.

As I mentioned above. Moreover you can flash UnSU and then root using Magisk. Magisk allows hiding root detection for Safetynet.

I unlocked the bootlader and rooted the phone before giving it to my wife. During that whole process, fastboot had no problems recognizing the phone (obviously). Then my wife tried to update via the OTA which got her stuck in TWRP. I'd like to reflash the stock ROM, but the problem I have is I can't use fastboot to do commands line by line (as shown in the link above) since "fastboot devices" doesn't show my phone anymore. I was able to get her going on a custom ROM for now, but I'd like to put her back on the stock ROM so we won't encounter this problem again. I've reinstalled the Motorola driver several times, but no luck. ADB has no problems recognizing the phone when in recovery. One thing that happened recently was a big update to Windows 10, but I'm not sure if that is the reason for my fastboot issues.
I intend to give it a go on another computer once I get the phone again from the wife, but any advice until then would be appreciated.
Thanks. I've installed a custom ROM but im not happy with the results (specially the poor camera performace). Will this "undo" everything? I mean, stock apps, stock widgets, etc etc? (don't care if the bootloader stays unlocked and the warning moto message while booting). I know this may be a stupid question, but like Homer would say: "it's my first day"

Just a follow up to my previous post, I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the Motorola driver and ADB on the original computer, but for some reason it still won't "see" the phone in fastboot. I was able to install ADB/Fastboot and the Motorola driver on a separate computer (also Windows 10) to get fastboot to recognize the phone so I could issue commands to reinstall the stock firmware. I noticed, though, that the following commands FAILED when I entered them:
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
I'm not sure what those were for, but the phone seems to be working fine on the stock firmware now.
I flashed the one in the retail folder and it says ret-EU in the settings so flash that one
Hello guys. I managed to most of the latest verison of TWRP for one plus two
But I cant get it to work. It always stuck when the +1 logo appears and I cant do anything from there. Only stock recovery works. Is there something Im doing wrong?

Make sure you on latest OOS 3.6.1, use 3.2.1-0 from here: https://dl.twrp.me/oneplus2/
Also don't use fastboot reboot after flashing twrp, force reboot manually to OOS.

If yes, can someone please explain me how to do so ?

If you unlock the bootloader you'll see that warning message, that's normal!
Please flash this twrp https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UlTftbe6wooAs4Fp0cjwXlOKmfQHgdfL/view?usp=drivesdk
Official ones are not the best choice. Then you boot to your new twrp and flash magisk uninstaller, then flash from the .ota folder the downloaded (more than 1GB) oxygenOS 5.1.4 and after it magisk 17.1 before boot.
Report back what's happening and watch the twrp log carefully for errors!

That's the issue with encrypted storage, it's recommended to remove screen lock/pattern/code before such updating processes(see root guide). Go to twrp and format data(where you need to verify the format, not only wipe), that solves the issue.

Is this OOS-specific? I've gotten OTA updates and my OP5 is rooted with TWRP.

I've not seen this mentioned before, so I'm just curious what environment would prevent OTA updates.

You cannot take ota updates like on non rooted devices with custom recovery:
-you need to download the full rom rather than ota update file when system updater detects root
-you need to follow some specific installation instructions https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...xygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003/post72799040 otherwise you'll lost twrp, root and maybe your decrypted storage won't let you boot your device
That's what I mean
I still don't 100% follow:
For example, when I flashed Lineage, it explicitly refers to "custom recovery" in the install instructions: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/cheeseburger/install
Before I started using my phone, I installed su: https://download.lineageos.org/extras

I have received OTA from Lineage about 2 or 3 updates now. When I choose to install an OTA, it will reboot into TWRP and complete the upgrade.
What did I do differently, that's allowing me to get these updates opposed to what OP is experiencing? Or is what Lineage is doing, is downloading the full image and Oxygen is not?
(I realize the OP is about Oxygen, but I'm trying to make sense of the differences in OTA updates) - Apologies for hijacking the thread, I'm genuinely curious. Thanks strongst for trying to explain!
