This guide is primarily intended for rooted users, since stock users can just take the OTA.
Key points
User data and applications are kept intact
You do not have to remove your PIN, password, or fingerprint
You do not have to remove TWRP, Magisk, your custom kernel, dtbo, or anything
This is intended for monthly security updates; developer previews and beta releases may or may not work with this method. You're welcome to try, but all may not work as expected
Installing Update:
Make sure you have the latest Google SDK Platform Tools. Extract the archive to a location of your choosing (creates platform-tools folder)
Get the latest walleye Factory Image (not OTA) from Google's Developer Page and save to a location of your choosing
Extract the archive, and open the extracted folder. You should see a list of files:
bootloader-walleye-[version string].img
flash-all.bat
flash-all.sh
flash-base.sh
image-walleye-[version string].zip
radio-walleye-[version string].img
Open the flash-all script (flash-all.bat for Windows, flash-all.sh for Linux/OSX) in your favorite text editor.
Find the line that reads "fastboot -w update image-walleye-[version].zip and remove "-w" (the wipe user data switch). Save and close the flash-all script.
Move (cut and paste, etc) all of these files to the platform-tools folder.
Enable USB Debugging from the Developer Options menu on your device (press "Build Number" 7 times if not already visible)
With your device plugged into the computer, open a command prompt in the platform-tools folder
Windows: Open the folder, hold down Shift and right click inside the folder, "Open Command window here"
Linux: If you're on Linux you already know how to do this
OSX: Open a folder in a terminal
Reboot to bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Execute update script in terminal:
Windows:
Code:
flash-all.bat
Linux/OSX:
Code:
./flash-all.sh
The device will reboot a few times while updating
Restoring root and/or a custom recovery
Download latest:
TWRP image
Magisk zip
TWRP zip
(Optional) Custom kernel zip
Place all files in the platform-tools folder
Reboot to bootloader
Boot TWRP image.
Code:
fastboot boot [twrp image filename].img
Push zip files to /tmp
Code:
adb push [magisk filename].zip /tmp
Optional: TWRP persistent installation + custom kernel:
Code:
adb push [twrp filename].zip /tmp
adb push [custom kernel filename].zip /tmp
Install Magisk:
Code:
adb shell twrp install /tmp/[magisk filename].zip
Optional: TWRP persistent installation + custom kernel:
Code:
adb shell twrp install /tmp/[twrp filename].zip
adb shell twrp install /tmp/[custom kernel filename].zip
adb shell twrp install /tmp/[magisk filename].zip
Reboot to system

Thanks for that, but do not forget to mention to enable usb debugging mode, to account for people who are new to this community.
I'm having trouble Installing Magisk on Step 6. Every time I enter the code it says it can't locate the Magisk file for some reason.

Oops, my instructions were to push to /tmp but the flashing portion left that directory out. I updated the original post.

My thought was that if someone is following this guide, they're already rooted, so would already know to have USB Debugging enabled. I'll add it though for completeness sake.
ehi guys! i have one last doubt before updating to the latest factory image: i have a verizon pixel 2, bootloader unlocked, magisk installed on OPM1.171019.013, will i be able to keep my bootloader unlocked after i flash the latest factory image? i definitely don't want to lock it as i read the unlock command is not working anymore..
thanks a lot!
Thanks for the guide. Worked flawlessly!

Relocking your bootloader is not necessary to flash this. Bootloader will remain unlocked after flashing.

Note: As of the February security update, TWRP 3.2.1-0 cannot decrypt the /data/ partition. When prompted for your PIN, cancel. You can keep /system/ read-only.

TWRP 3.2.1-1 and 3.2.1-2 are able to decrypt /data and /sdcard. MTP still doesn't work, but you can place files on the sdcard via USB in system.

This is hit and miss, for example 3.2.1-2 won't decrypt /data/ for me on P DP1. Others though have no problem decrypting data.
I kept the instructions the same, but took out the decryption note. Even if your TWRP can decrypt /data/ it's not strictly necessary for this process, so there's consistency in the guide in spite of inconsistent TWRP behavior.

This honestly doesn't surprise me in the least; I would expect that Android P might use a different security scheme, so the decryption mechanism that works with Oreo may not be forward compatible.
For persistent twrp don’t you need to fastboot flash the recovery partition with the twrp image?

There is no recovery partition, the recovery is now part of the boot image. You have to boot the TWRP image, then flash the TWRP zip which will patch the boot image in both slots.
Right I meant the boot partition. But this contradicts the main guide here where it indicates the necessity to flash both the twrp image to the boot partition (not just boot to the image on your PC), AND flash the twrp zip to make it persistent.
You don’t need to worry about the twrp zip at all if all you want to do is fastboot boot the twrp image.

Not sure which guide you're referring to, but nathanchance's guide as far as I saw lined up with mine.
Sorry delete
Has there been a workaround created for those of us who can't unlock bootloader because OEM can't be unlocked? Wiping the phone and skipping wizard did not work for me. I'm just trying to root so I can delete apps I don't want.
Can someone tell me about the installing OTA.zip without unrooting or uninstalling the magisk. Is it possible to update through OTA on rooted stock ROM? Or what if we update using the OTA which comes automatically from Google?

That's not possible, which is why this process exists.
Flashing for Dummies
In this guide we'll go over how to flash custom ROMs with root and TWRP in addition to updating
this guide will always be updated
Read the ENTIRE guide before you start
Code:
Your warranty is now void.
We are not responsible for bricked devices, bootloop... Please
do some research if you have any concerns about mods
included in these GUIDES before using them! YOU are choosing to
make these modifications.
things to keep in mind:
1- when you flash a ROM through TWRP, it will flash to your inactive slot, that's why you need to switch slot after flashing it and then flash everything else, think of it like an OTA update except you need to switch active slot yourself
2- when you change your active slot in TWRP, it will only change after you reboot, your active slot will always be the one you're currently booted on
3- the order of flashing anything that modifies boot is
1) TWRP
2) custom kernel
3) noverity
4)Magisk
if you're not sure, flash stock boot of your rom and do it again, flashing TWRP will break Magisk, flashing a custom kernel will break magisk, flashing TWRP after flashing a custom kernel will most likely get you a bootloop
Before you begin
you need to unlock your bootloader first https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/unlock-bootloader-n-root-magisk-easy-t3856800
It is no longer required to be on stock Oreo before flashing, but I currently still recommend you do so as there might be some minor bugs on some custom roms, but otherwise everything will work just fine.
get latest platform-tools if you haven't already, using an older one WILL result in errors
platform-tools
extract it and open the folder
hold shift then right click on an empty space then click "open command window here"
if you're on windows 10, doing that will open power shell instead, inside power shell, type "cmd" and press enter, use cmd for everything below
if you're coming from stock, you need to do this first
type the following command (data and files will be wiped)
Code:
fastboot -w
fastboot set_active b
Notes:
Pixel Experience includes Gapps, do not flash them after the rom
many roms include TWRP, such as Havoc, AICP and many others, check ROM thread first, if it includes it then don't flash TWRP.
Flashing custom ROMs and other stuff
download latest TWRP img and zip from https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomimia2.html and place it in the same folder you extracted platform-tools to
NOTE: if you are on stock then use TWRP 3.2.3 img, not 3.3
note: if you're having issues with official TWRP, I've built an unofficial one with F2FS support which you can try here
be careful if you switch to F2FS, it will only work with a recovery that supports it and a ROM that supports it, no stock.
rename the img to twrp.img
in cmd, type
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
if you get a bootloop, force shutdown (power + volume down) and try again
using MTP copy the files needed to flash to your phone
if MTP doesn't work, you have the following options
1) wipe data from TWRP, try again
2) advanced > file manager, go to /data/media , if there is nothing in there, create a new folder called 0 there by going to Advanced > Terminal and typing the following commands
Code:
cd /data/media
mkdir 0
then reboot to bootloader and try again
3) try using PBRP for MTP, then go back to TWRP PBRP
4) use adb sideload:
in TWRP, go to Advanced > adb sideload, then on PC
Code:
adb sideload file.zip
do that for each thing you want to flash
(you can type adb sideload then drag and drop the file you want to flash onto cmd, make sure there's a space between sideload and the file you want to flash)
5) use adb push. follow methode 2 to create the folder, then in cmd, type this command
Code:
adb push file.zip /data/media/0/
do that for each file you need
after you got the files on your phone, it's time to flash
remember that when flashing a ROM, it will flash to your inactive slot, in this guide I'll assume your active slot is B, use "fastboot set_active b" in fastboot if you'd like to follow along
First go to wipe > advanced and select System and Data then wipe, then you can start flashing
1- flash the ROM zip
2- flash TWRP zip, so you can boot to TWRP without the need of a PC (ONLY if the ROM doesn't include it already)
3- switch your active slot (to A if you are on B and to B if you were on A)
4- reboot recovery
5- flash Gapps if required by the ROM you're flashing, Opengapps nano is recommended, you can get it here http://Opengapps.org
6- (optional) flash a custom kernel if desired/needed
7- (optional) flash DM-VERITY & FORCEENCRYPT DISABLER zip , this will disable DM verity and encryption in vendor, this is not required by most custom ROMs as they will disable encryption anyway, it is most useful on stock, and in the possibility that the ROM you're flashing does not disable encryption
8- flash Magisk
9- reboot to system
IMPORTANT, if you get an error while flashing ROM zip, do the following
use latest official TWRP, if you're already using it, then the ROM you're flashing is one of the older ROMs
previously, ROMs and TWRP used Jasmine as a codename for our device, while the real codename is Jasmine_sprout, this caused some issues, newer ROMs and TWRP now use the correct codename, but that means new TWRP can not flash older ROMs, and so you will need some simple modifications to the ROM zip:
1- open the ZIP using WinRAR on PC or X-plore on phone
2- go to META-INF/com/android/metadata and open it as text
3- on the last line, edit 'pre-device=jasmine' to 'pre-device=jasmine_sprout'
4- save it and try flashing again
Switching between custom ROMs
follow the same flashing instructions, you can boot directly to TWRP by holding power + volume up, wipe data and system first then flash ROM and the rest.
Updating Custom ROMs
For OFFICIAL ROMs which support A/B OTA it's very easy
1- once you get a notification that an update is available, download and install with the system updater but don't reboot (If the ROM includes TWRP then don't do any of the following steps, just reboot)
2- go to Magisk, Downloads, search for "TWRP A/B Retention Script" and install it
3- on the main Magisk page, click install > install > Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)
4- once Magisk finishes, reboot, you will now be on the opposite slot with both Magisk and TWRP installed.
for Unofficial ROMs with no OTA or Official ROMs that don't support A/B OTA, you'll need to use TWRP, do not wipe anything:
1- boot to TWRP
2- flash the ROM zip
3- flash TWRP zip (ONLY IF the ROM doesn't include TWRP)
4- switch your active slot (to A if you are on B and to B if you were on A)
5- reboot recovery
6- flash Gapps if required by the ROM you're flashing, Opengapps nano is recommended, you can get it here http://Opengapps.org
7- (optional) flash a custom kernel if desired/needed
8- (optional) flash DM-VERITY & FORCEENCRYPT DISABLER zip , this will disable DM verity and encryption in vendor, this is not required by most custom ROMs as they will disable encryption anyway, it is most useful on stock, and in the possibility that the ROM you're flashing does not disable encryption
9- flash Magisk
10- reboot to system
Very good and very well detailed guide. This guide will be useful to those who are not so familiar with Flashing ROMs especially in our device with partitions.
Thank you for making this, as many users were asking this thing. Keep it up!
does rebooting to twrp gets stuck on twrp logo after flashing twrp zip?
its been an issue on stock or maybe i have been doing to wrong...
after wipe commands and setting active slot b,
i reboot into fastboot boot twrp.img and flash the rom and Im getting mount failed /system
is that normal?
Edit: NVM, it is normal. I successfully flashed Carbon ROM in my device. Thanks for this awesome guide.
This is great thank you. Going to try it once I get bored of stock rom.

No, if you follow the instructions it works
coming from stock to pE I followed exacty the steps.
then flash CR. Here what Ive done
i-wipe cache,data,system for both partition using twrp
ii- set partition to B in twrp and flash zip
iii- set partition to A in twrp and reboot into bootloop
iv- set partition to B in twrp and reboot successfully
so what partition is my CR now?
which partition should i install gapps,kernel and magisk?
Thanks.

It's in B, because you didn't reboot after switching slot initially in twrp, stay in B and boot recovery then flash Gapps and the rest

You are right. I miss the first bl reboot.
I follow the step back and reboot after switch partition.
Only now i got the concept for A/B flashing. And my os in A now.
Thanks for the guide. Really helpful.

Hello,
In your guide I dont understand the next part:
using MTP copy the files needed to flash to your phone
if MTP doesn't work, you have the following options
1) wipe data from TWRP, try again
If I made the step 1 above: I enter in the TWRP, select wipe, then, select wipe, advance wipe, select data and then swipe to wipe. After this reboot system, the telephone start but in normal mode, like restored.
2) advanced > file manager, go to /data/media , if there is nothing in there, create a new folder called 0 there by going to Advanced > Terminal and typing the following commands
I follow the step 2, in data/media appear a folder TWRP then i dont created a folder called 0
Then I go to advanced >> adb sideload and in the pc i wrote "adb sideload twrp.zip.
You write file.zip, I dont understand what is this file?
I dont understand what do you mean in the step 3: "try using PBRP for MTP, then go back to TWRP PBRP"
Code:
cd /data/media
mkdir 0
then reboot to bootloader and try again
3) try using PBRP for MTP, then go back to TWRP PBRP
4) use adb sideload:
in TWRP, go to Advanced > adb sideload, then on PC
Code:
adb sideload file.zip
do that for each thing you want to flash
(you can type adb sideload then drag and drop the file you want to flash onto cmd, make sure there's a space between sideload and the file you want to flash)
5) use adb push. follow methode 2 to create the folder, then in cmd, type this command
Code:
adb push file.zip /data/media/0/
do that for each file you need

hello,
I dont know how to follow:

2- flash TWRP zip, so you can boot to TWRP without the need of a PC
3- switch your active slot (to A if you are on B and to B if you were on A)
4- reboot recovery
I wiped data and storage then I press back.
I flashed the PBRP that I pushed to data/media/TWRP
After flash I returned to the menu of PBRP
I switched to A
When I reboot, a warning message that "NO OS SYSTEM IS INSTALLED" appear.
I reboot to recovery but after this, the telephone does not restart. the screen "androidone" appear and dont advance...
How can I install the PBRP and magisk?
I succesfull push the files to the telephone but when flash the PBRP I cannot follow......

You didn't flash a rom, obviously it won't boot
QUICK STORY:I UPDATED THE LINKS LINEAGEOS OFFICIAL WEBSITE REMOVED THEM! THESE ONES WORK.
Hi everyone, me and my friend we searched the whole internet for a compatible official recovery, which was impossible, and we were able to find one, after we flashed it we noticed that it was very unstable and it didn't recognize our SD CARD. The ROM and GApps were on that SD card. The system was not booting, the classical SONY logo was stuck. So after recompiling my own version of this recovery I was able to read the sd card. I know it's hard to root XPERIA phones, that's why I wanted to publish a working version for E5803. Not tested on E5823 but theoretically it should work, which you can do on your own risk.
Feel free for the thumbs up :good: :good:
I'll give the links using BASE64 encryption. Use 'base 64 decode . org' without spaces. Enter the random text and get the link.
THE PROCCESS:
Know that you are doing this on your own risk.
READING THIS TUTORIAL TILL THE END BEFORE ACTING.
Backup your device before even starting.
Your bootloader unlocked in your developer options (to enable developer options [system Info] --> [Build Number / tap 7 times]). Don't forget to enable USB Debugging, that's in the developer options too.
DOWNLOAD THE RECOVERY IT'S WORKING and tested (and compiled by me ): aHR0cHM6Ly9kcml2ZS5nb29nbGUuY29tL29wZW4/aWQ9MWljTWdNeEpsS0ZrSUN3WERRTEhPWXVoWkc3WGRLTnB4
Download ADB on your PC you can just install Minimal ADB and Fastboot. aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmRyb2lkbXRrLmNvbS9kb3dubG9hZC1taW5pbWFsLWFkYi1hbmQtZmFzdGJvb3QtdG9vbA== After that your PC has to grant access to your phone via ADB. To do that open Minimal ADB and fastboot and type
Code:
adb shell
. Make sure your phone's screen is unlocked while doing that and of course your Phone has to be plugged in. A pop-up will appear, you have to accept it and CLICK REMEMBER. Don't forget that one.
Make sure you install Your Xperia Z5 Compact Drivers. Use this link: aHR0cHM6Ly9kZXZlbG9wZXIuc29ueS5jb20vZmlsZS9kb3dubG9hZC94cGVyaWEtejUtY29tcGFjdC1kcml2ZXIv To install them extract the files, and and right click the files ending with .inf , after that you can click install. Do that to both of the .inf files in the directory.
Get your BOOTLOADER CODE using this link: aHR0cHM6Ly9kZXZlbG9wZXIuc29ueS5jb20vZGV2ZWxvcC9vcGVuLWRldmljZXMvZ2V0LXN0YXJ0ZWQvdW5sb2NrLWJvb3Rsb2FkZXIv Scroll down and Select your device, after that just Accept and tick the boxes below, and enter your IMEI number and click submit. If you have 2 SIM Cards you have technically 2 IMEI numbers, enter your first IMEI and click submit. Save that code very very well.
Now enter your fastboot mode by typing
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
. Then you wait for your blue light on your cellphone. After that you have to type this code
Code:
fastboot oem unlock 0x<insert your unlock code>
. Insert your code in that 'insert your unlock code' area but don't forget to remove the brackets around, and no space after '0x'. Voila! You unlocked your bootloader!
Now you have to flash the recovery using:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /pc_file_path/twrp.img
. The file path has to be given on your PC. If it worked you can simply type
Code:
fastboot reboot
to reboot your system. After that use you can boot to your recovery using
Code:
adb reboot recovery
. Of course you have to say (optionally) Allow modifications and don't show that again, to the pop-up that will appear.
NOW JUST IN CASE you are the unlucky person and can't boot to your recovery do the following steps: First use
Code:
fastboot boot imagepath.img
to boot to your recovery but temporary, while doing this you have to be in the fastboot mode. Then after the boot to your recovery make sure that your ROM, GApps and RECOVERY.img file is on your sd card / internal storage. In recovery mode click install and say install image and select your .img file you wanted to install. now reboot to your recovery again, after shutting down your device. It'll work this time. If you just wanted to install a recovery, boot your system and do what you want, or install Magisk or SuperSU, your call.
If you want to install a custom ROM you can install your ROM and GApps you want to your own way. Just for an example I'm giving a LineAgeOs 14.1 ROM link which has no bugs I noticed: aHR0cHM6Ly9kcml2ZS5nb29nbGUuY29tL29wZW4/aWQ9MUVvS3VlbzNjTmVBRmlOaEVXYTBiX2ZWVDFkUkhQREti and the mini GApps for the minimalistic Google Apps setup: aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuZ2FwcHMub3Jn
Select ARM64, Android 7.1 and mini and click that download button after the choices you made.
After those downloads, or if you have the files copy them to your device memory or sd card. You can do that outside the recovery mode. Now wipe your System, Cache, Dalvik-cache, Data, but not internal storage if your ROM files and stuff are there. If they are on your sd card you can wipe your internal storage. If your files are on your micro-sd don't wipe your micro-sd (just a fact don't forget that).
Now click on install, then select your lineageos file or custom ROM swipe for the install, do the same for the GApps after that. Now you can reboot and wait, that can take 10 minutes or something like that.
Don't forget to say thanks :good:
Have a nice day and good 'rootings'
How are we supposed to use the download links?
[Edit]
My bad, I didn't read what I was supposed to read.
Sorry...

It's fine but the problem is they removed the links recently but I'll update the link ASAP. As I can see you guys can't download the official LineageOS ROM for now.
Thanks for the great guide!
Everything went smoothly, but when I try `adb reboot recovery` or `fastboot boot <img>` it reboots to a blank screen. Any ideas?
Edit:
Volume down + power gets me into TWRP, but then I borked everything trying to install magisk. Thanks again!

Your Welcome
Guys I need help, how do I boot to twrp without pc I'm using a sony e5803 because when I type "adb reboot recovery" it just boots to my home screen. I also tried "fastboot boot imagepath.img" and it says FAILED (remote: 'dtb not found") Can anybody help?

THIS GUIDE APPLIES TO JETER AND ALJETER DEVICES
FOR ALJETER DEVICE OWNERS ONLY.
there are ALOT of different variants of the aljeter so please before beginning this root method go to settings, system, about phone. look for either sw version or software channel verison and either remember what it says or write it down. me or anyone else will need this to help troubleshoot which aljeter variant you have. this will also be important to know incase you mess up and need to reflash stock firmware which those instructions are at the bottom of this guide.
The following devices have been confirmed to work on devices with Android 8 (Oreo)
XT1922-4 Model
XT1922-5 Brazilian Model
XT1922-7 Boost Mobile/ Virgin Mobile
XT1922-9 Motorola Retail
The following devices have been confirmed to work with Android 9 (pie)
XT1922-7 (Jeter) boost Mobile/ Virgin Mobile.
XT1922-3 (Aljeter)
XT1922-5 (Aljeter retbr)
Please make backups using TWRP IN CASE OF FAILURE.
Original stock firmware FOR JETER can be found here. https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/jeter/official/ and here FOR ALJETER https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/aljeter/official/
The steps listed in this process WILL wipe your userdata. If you have anything you need to save back it up first.
Prerequisite:
Unlocked bootloader.
FOR LINUX USERS. If you're using a linux distro then congrats this is all you should have to run. open command prompt and run this. "sudo apt-get install adb" without quotation marks. then follow Motorolas bootloader guide in provided link. continue to step 1 after.
FOR WINDOWS USERS.
ADB/Fastboot installed on your machine ( https://developer.android.com/studio...platform-tools ) If you have issues with commands make sure you have a current build of ADB and fastboot.
Minimal adb/fastboot v1.4.3 installer can be found here. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569952951
Motorola bootloader unlock request here https://motorola-global-portal.custh...-your-device-a
DECRYPTION AND BACKUP.
NOTICE
IF YOU YOU ARE USING THE 32GB MODEL OR THE 16GB MODEL AND ARE ON ANDROID 9 (PIE) PLEASE USE THE ANDROID 9 (PIE) MODEL TWRP. USERS WITH THE 16GB MODEL AND THE 32GB MODEL ON ANDROID 8 (OREO) WILL STILL NEED TO USE SEPERATE TWRPS
MAKE SURE TO SWIPE RIGHT IN TWRP TO ALLOW SYSTEM MODIFICATIONS.
Step 1.) Download and extract twrp image to the ADB/Fastboot folder on your computer.
FOR ANDROID 8 (OREO)
16gb model twrp: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117921836
32gb model twrp: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117927211
FOR ANDROID 9 (PIE)
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117921849
Step 2.) Reboot to your bootloader. You can do this by turning on your device and holding the power button and volume down button at the same time.
Step 3.) Once the device reboots to the bootloader type the following from your computer with your phone connected via USB.
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Step 4.) Once TWRP boots from your computer type (it may take a bit to boot because it is trying to decrypt your userdata, but it will fail and prompt for a password. Just click cancel)
Step 5.) time to backup your stock recovery and stock boot. use these commands one at a time.
Code:
adb pull /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/boot stockboot.img
adb pull /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/recovery stockrecovery.img
This will backup your stock boot and recovery images if you need to revert to stock later.
Step 6.) time to decrypt which will also format your data so make sure to make a backup. while still booted in twrp touch the "wipe" button then touch "format data", type yes and after its all done reboot to bootloader use this command.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
CONGRATS! if you read this correctly and or didnt skim then you have successfully decrypted your device and backed up your stock recovery and stock boot.img. proceed below for root process.
ROOT PROCESS.
Step 1.) Run the following command from your computer to install the TWRP image to your device.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Step 2.) Use the volume keys on the device to select boot to recovery and TWRP will boot up again. swipe right to allow modifications. IT SHOULD NOT ASK YOU FOR A PASSWORD THIS TIME IF IT DOES YOU MESSED UP DURING THE DECRYPT PROCESS
Step 3.) Follow this link to the creators site to download the disabler zip. https://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfe download it to your ADB/Fastboot folder.
Step 4.) Download the Magisk Beta v20.0 and or the latest zip file from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases to your ADB/Fastboot folder. (I personally use beta so I use beta in this guide but you don't have to)
Step 5.) Run the following command to push the dm_verity force encrypt disabler and magisk zip to your device
Code:
adb push Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020.zip /tmp
adb push Magisk-v20.0.zip /tmp
This will push the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020.zip and Magisk-v20.0.zip to your /tmp folder
Step 6.) Flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020.zip from TWRP using the install option and navigate to the /tmp folder to select it and install it.
Step 7.) Flash Magisk-v20.0.zip from TWRP using the install option and navigate to the /tmp folder to select it and install it.
Step 8.) Reboot your device
Step 9.) Just wait for the device to boot up. might take a bit and it might seem its in a bootloop but if you followed this guide exactly as is just wait it out it took about 5-10 minutes before i got to the "lets get started" screen after updating to pie (android 9)
Step 10.) Verify Magisk Manager is installed and the root functionality works. sometimes the manager apk wont be installed so download the magisk manager apk from the provide links. click advanced to see if the boxes are unchecked. (2022 edit) If you see magisk app and magisk needs updated you can do it but I can't confirm if it's safe and what works and doesnt after
CONGRATS! IF YOU DIDNT SKIM MY GUIDE YOU SHOULD HAVE A SUCCESSFULLY ROOTED AND ENCRYPTION DISABLED DEVICE, HAVE FUN.
IF YOU MESSED UP, DIDNT PUT A COMMAND IN CORRECTLY, SKIMMED, OR ARE INA GENUINE BOOTLOOP/BRICK THIS SECTION IS FOR YOU
Step 1.) DOWNLOAD STOCK FIRMWARE HERE FOR JETER AND CERTAIN ALJETER DEVICES (from what i can tell usa variant aljeter devices are consided jeter) https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/jeter/official/ IF YOU REMEMBER OR WROTE DOWN YOUR SW CHANNEL VERSION THEN DOWNLOAD STOCK FIRMWARE FOR BASICALLY EVERY OTHER ALJETER DEVICE HERE. https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/aljeter/official/ UNZIP STOCK FIRMWARE TO YOUR ADB/FASTBOOT FOLDER TO FLASH IT. TO REVERT BACK TO STOCK YOU HAVE TO REFLASH STOCK FIRMWARE FROM THE BOOTLOADER if your device is bootlooped or bricked or not working right you have to reflash the stock firmware your device came with. PLEASE INPUT THESE COMMANDS ONE AT A TIME DO NOT DO THEM ALL AT ONCE. I KNOW ITS A HASSLE BUT IT GUARANTEES A SUCCESSFUL REFLASH. I CANNOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH

I have the same issue. I used the recovery steps to go back to stock but every time i re-attempt to root/install twrp the bootloop comes back:
Also, it's failing to mount /data after Resurrection Remix wouldn't boot and it keeps giving me the unable to mount /data (invalid argument) problem. I need help badly. Can you help? Is it the TWRP's fault?

Are you encrypted? Because twrp will do that if you are. You have to use the wipe > format > type "yes" to continue method to remove encryption. Then reboot from twrp, directly back into twrp. Then it can mount /data properly, at which point you need to flash the encryption disabler. If you don't disable encryption you'll keep running into the same problem. You only have to do that once. After that you can use the regular wipe option. If you ever flash the stock vendor.img you'll need to do it again.
Also, please make sure twrp has been flashed to recovery. I don't think it'll work if you just boot through fastboot. If you followed all these instructions and magisk still refuses to install, or gives you a bootloop, then it's a ROM problem and not TWRP. Should that happen, let me know and I'll flash Resurrection remix and see if I can figure out what's going on. I've had ROMs refuse to be rooted before. Descendant ROM had this problem on some older builds.

as for me: I followed the instructions which tell us to only boot twrp during the data format and only then actually flash twrp.
but my problem is no magisk, as I always root my phone whenever i revert back to stock. it's just that decryption is not working on my xt1922-5

Do it like this.
1. fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
2. Use the volume keys while still in fastboot to select "recovery" then hit the power button.
3. Hit cancel at the decryption screen when twrp boots up.
4. In TWRP select wipe > format > type "yes" to continue. Do not reboot the phone yet.
5. In twrp select reboot > recovery.
6. Once twrp boots up again, select mount and check the boxes for /data, /system, /vendor, /cache.
7. Now flash the universal encryption disabler.
8. Let it boot once, then go back into recovery and flash Magisk.
This should solve your problem.

My issue is as follows:
I had rooted my g6play months ago, back when pie came out on Ota for it. The guide I followed didn't have me disable encryption, which at the time wasn't a real big deal, with my only loss being the inability to do nandroid backups. But fast forward to now, when Resurrection Remix GSI came out, I was immediately interested as I think that rom could be a great experience.
So I decided to come here in this guide because I might as well disable encryption, right? So I flashed the new twrp and did get it to wipe and disable the encryption (in the option that has you type in yes) and proceeded to flash RR, it booted to the boot anima9and there it stayed for a good 30 minutes before I decided to try the older GSI image, maybe that one would work.
But nope, I immediately got the unable to mount /data bootloop and successfully flashed my stock rom and tried again, this time flashing the new twrp right off the bat. No avail. Now everytime i go into a freshly flashed twrp, i get no password prompt, and when i try to access the internal storage, it comes up as 0mb. Even my Linux complains that it couldn't mount my Internal storage as only the SD card shows up (weirdly enough I was able to successfully push dm verity and magisk to /temp no problem but they fail upon flashing)
Edit: gotta mention that after the first time I did the pull adb command to get the backups, the command refuses to work anymore. And also that I still have an old twrp backup stored (did that today before trying this)

Go into the wipe menu, advanced wipe, check data and hit change file system. change data back to f2fs. When you guys format and don't immediately reboot straight to recovery, data sets to Auto and freaks out

the multiple times i checked, the file system was always f2fs, but sometimes ext4
and also: Do you mean we should do that after we try to format with the format data (typing yes) option? If so, it doesn't work as the internal storage won't mount. Won't even show up on my computer

If you change the file system, it'll format, even if it says it won't mount. Changing the file system will force it to format. Even if it says f2fs, hit change and select f2fs anyway.

Alright, let me work through this.
I'm currently on a stock firmware and it's working fine.
Right now i have to:
1. boot into recovery twrp
2. change the filesystem of data
3. flash recovery and boot into it
4. format data(yes option)
5.check and change the file system again
6.reboot straight back into twrp recovery from recovery
7.flash dm verity zip
8.flash magisk
9.boot
Is this correct? and as for attempting to install a GSI image again, should i attempt to flash it before the verity zip and magisk? (i'll also be flashing micro gapps) or do i let it boot into system once and then i do it? (by wiping data/dalvik/cache/system)

Let's simplify. If everything is working,
go to fastboot
Flash recovery (boot doesn't seem to be working here)
Fastboot flash recovery twrp image
Select recovery, when the decrypt menu comes up, hit cancel
Wipe menu,
Swipe to factory reset
Go back to wipe
format data, yes,
Reboot recovery
Flash disabler
Flash magisk
And yes. Boot system then GSI flash, then factory reset before magisk

Is your bootloader unlocked? If so, you can just boot TWRP via fastboot (boot the img, not installing the zip) and dirty flash the latest OTA.
If nothing works, boot into EDL mode and use msmdownloadtool as last resort, but you will lose ALL your data in the process. Don't mess with the cable when msmdownloadtool is working or your phone is going to be permanently bricked. You should only use msmdownloadtool if you've tried everything and nothing is working, or you entered Qualcomm crash dump mode and fastboot/recovery isn't working.

Since you uninstalled SystemUI.apk, I'm going to assume you have Magisk and adb/fastboot installed on your PC.
Do you have TWRP installed? If so, just boot into it and dirty flash the latest OTA.
If not, download twrp-3.2.3-2-fajita.img here https://dl.twrp.me/fajita/ and boot into it via fastboot.
On your PC, download the latest OxygenOS from OnePlus website. move the .img you downloaded earlier to your fastboot folder, hold Vol Up + Power until you enter fastboot, back to PC - type into the search bar "cmd" then press enter, type fastboot boot "twrp-3.2.3-2-fajita.img" and press enter. Your phone should boot into TWRP, now copy the OTA file into your phone and install it into both slots (just to be sure).
You're going to lose Magisk if you do this, but you can just reinstall it and it's much better than having a $600 paperweight
Remember that you need to have a working adb and fastboot on your PC to do this.
Some tip: You can backup your data while you're in TWRP via USB mass storage, it's a good idea to do it now just in case your phone is bricked even worse than before.

i don't want lost my data. my phone twrp installed. https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http...v2tKWpgjtH1uNa9qGkEpux3yPIjNDUTQIEPCPb_dVJD7U i don't understand it
He had to delete the wrong systemui apk first, with the commands you quoted
then comes those for apk installation
Code:
adb push SystemUI.apk system/app/SystemUI.apk
reboot
i never tried something like that so I dunno if it would work on all devices, or just on rooted or on no one @ all.

Dirty flashing doesn't wipe your data, but you should definitely back up your data in case something goes wrong.
If you have TWRP installed, just do what I typed on my previous reply. To make it clearer:
1. Download the latest OxygenOS for OnePlus 6T here https://www.oneplus.com/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=9
2. Boot into TWRP (Vol Up + power/Vol down + power, I don't remember which one is for recovery). If it asks for password, enter your PIN number
3. USB mass storage should now be available, you can copy/move files from your phone to PC while in this mode. It's a good idea to backup your data now if you haven't.
4. Copy the OTA file you downloaded into your phone
5. Press Install on TWRP, and select the file you downloaded earlier. It's going to take a while, don't panic.
6. When it has finished, DON'T reboot into system. Instead, go back to TWRP.
7. Press Reboot and choose the other slot (opposite of current slot, so if your current slot is B, press A. if it's A, press B)
8. Install the OTA again (This flashes stock OOS into both slot)
9. Again, DON'T reboot into system, go back to TWRP.
10. Press Reboot in TWRP and choose your previous slot.
11. Boot into system
You're not going to lose data if you do this correctly. But, you're going to lose Magisk if you do this (or maybe TWRP too). Just install Magisk again.
Don't permanently install TWRP on OP 6T because it's going to conflict with Magisk. If you need TWRP, just boot into TWRP.img via fastboot instead of permanently installing it.
I don't exactly know how to flash ROMs on A/B partition devices, but this is what I do and it works everytime. Some steps might be unnecessary, though.
