How do I get TWRP up in LineageOS? - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Hi!!
Today, I decided to flash LineageOS on my phone just to spice things up a bit. I used Daze One's Root November img to get TWRP working and flashed the rom through adb sideload. After doing so, my phone suddenly rebooted into LineageOS (Before I could flash TWRP-Installer or Gapps). I tried to flash the normal twrp but touch didn't work and then tried to reflash dazeone's root img to get back to twrp but it just bootlooped (I think since I had LineageOS and the image is meant for the november stock ROM). So my question is, is there anyway to get twrp working with touch while in LineageOS?
Thanks in advance!
edit: Could connecting a mouse through a usb c to usb a adaptor work to be able to use the normal twrp?

go through the 2nd post here

Thanks for the help, turns out that I'm dumb and cant follow simple instructions. (I got it working )

I need help with flashify... recovery deleted

Good morning, I go to ask for help, I tell you.
My ZUK Z1 from "origin" 5.0 or 5.1 (I do not have it in front right now) and with a recovery of CM, when installing with flashify a TWRP, a version 3.0 .... a very curious thing happened to me. It tells me that it is successfully installed, but not only has CM recovery been deleted, but it has not installed the TWRP ...
I tried to restart in recovery mode and, of course not having it, it is a step that is skipped and restarted completely.
I have not tried with ADB or anything like that, I wanted to do it directly with the mobile but I am seeing that there is no way ...
It may be that if I install with flashify a TWRP 2.8 ... an older recovery, will it install?
Or should I look for a CM to install ...
Or the only solution is to do it through PC ...
A little light please. Thank you.
Will suggest you to flash twrp 3.1 with adb
Thanks for your quick answer, I´ll try to flash it with adb
Anyone knows where to get an older version of twrp, like 2.8.... ?
I would like to try again with flashify

Rooted, Custom Rom a huge fail

Hello dear Community!
It is depressing that my first appearance here is to ask for help, but I am going crazy.
So, I tried to Root my phone via Odin + CF Autoroot klte and it seemed to have been a success.
The root checker also said, that my device was rooted so I went on and installed TWRP to be able to install Lineage OS.
After getting Lineage to work I got a few error messages suddenly popping up, telling me that either "Music had stopped" or other android operation were closed because they didn't work properly.
I tried to install Gapps, it seemed to have worked but I was only able to open and enter the store once, afterwards the store never managed to load and then the app closed itself after starting it.
So I checked again with Root Checker, but this time it gave me an error message, too. It said, that my device was not rooted properly.
I guess this is were I made it worse by deciding to just root the phone again. Obviously, it didn't work either.
Afterwards I thought that maybe installing The Original Android OS and then unrooting the phone would be the best solution to be able to start anew.
First I tried to flah Lineage again and that made it impossible for me to boot the phone. The farthest I got was the setup page, were it tells you Hello and were you can choose a Language, but clicking the arrow key didn't do anything at all.
The recovery mode was also not the TWRP one anymore, but the original Android one and that was a huge problem for me.
Then I tried to flash the 6.1 OS for the S5 (I made sure it was the correct version), but now it is stuck at the "Samsung" screen while it boots.
It never boots though.
I don't know what to do anymore.
Please, I beg you, could anyone help me out?
Don't flash the latest Lineage OS ROM

What are the grounds for your claims?
You needn't root via CF-autoroot if your end goal was to flash lineage. CF autoroot was intended to root stock roms with ease and less effort.
Flash The LATEST, official TWRP via odin then do a FULL WIPE. Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache.
From here on, you have two options:
1.) Sideload the LineageOS rom via ADB
2.) Transfer it to the phone's storage via MTP and flash it from TWRP.
As for how to accomplish this, the forum search bar and Google has your back. You need only choose one procedure.
If you need the Play Store, flash gapps AFTER flashing LINEAGE AND BEFORE REBOOTING.
Since you were under the idea that utilizing CF-autoroot was a necessity, I suggest that you re-read this post thoroughly before actually putting it into practice.

Thank you so much for your fast reply!
-> I flashed the newest Version for klte via Odin, but I can't get into the boot mode.
I only am able to enter the download mode. What can I do now?
Flash TWRP via odin again, untick the Auto-Reset option of Odin first. Then try booting to recovery via long holding the power, home and volume up button simultaneously without releasing any of the buttons until you successfully see the TWRP splash screen.
If that still doesn't work, reboot to recovery via adb from download mode. You need the adb and the usb drivers for your device.
If that still doesn't work, you might have flashed an incompatible version of TWRP.

Thank you so much, it worked perfectly!
I can now start my phone and use it normally.
But the Root Checker still says:
"Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device.
Device: SM-G900M
Android version: 7.1.2"
What should I do from now on?
Thank you so much for your help (agaiN).
And as for why I used the auto-root, well I just followed a guide that I found, it only had positive reviews so I assumed it was a correct tutorial.

I thought about doing that, but wasn't sure how exactly to proceed and what Version to install.
I downloaded SuperSU v.2.82 and put it on my internal storage.
Just install over TWRP the same way that I Installed Lineage and Gapps I suppose?
I guess if it doesn't work out, I just follow the steps from above again and retry?
Thank you so much. I feel like in idiot in this situation.

WiFI doesnt work Show 02:00:00:00:00:00 mac address.

Hello to everybody, the wifi phone of my OP5 woked very well. One day I flashed one ROM, I dont remember what and broked the wifi, now show the typical broken mac address, I saw all the post even fixing nexus wifi phone but didnt work. I lnow that I need to upgrade to Oreo, now Im in Nougat, but the problem is when I flash the oreo stock rom the phone get a bootloop, I tryied everything so I need to forget upgrade. How can resolve this problem. I updated no stock ROM oreo like aiscp but the wifi not repair. I dont know what do. I tried with QPST QXSM but nothing I can repair my phone. Any help?. I tried too modificating all the files about wifi, wifi.bin (I dont remember the names) and didnt worked
If you are using TWRP make sure to update to latest codeworks version and in the wipe section select format data. This is necessary when moving from Nougat to Oreo on the OP5 if you are using a custom recovery. That will erase everything on your phone except TWRP. Plug your phone into a computer and it will show up like a USB drive. Copy and paste the Oreo ROM zip for stock OOS onto your phone. If you want to be rooted also copy the latest Magisk zip. Flash OOS zip within TWRP. If you boot into the system after that you will be 100% stock including recovery. If you want to be rooted and keep TWRP flash Magisk zip as well before booting into system. Given your circumstance I would highly recommend going 100% stock and making sure everything is working right again. You can always install TWRP and root again later.
i remember how i flashed blu spark kernel for custom rom, when i was at stock oos and get this broken wifi. try to look at that

Stuck at bootloader--HELP!

Let's get this out of the way. I don't have much experience flashing ROMs. I've done it on a few phones, but I can't say I really understood what I was doing. I'm just good at following directions. So, I know about enough to get into trouble.
And ...I've gotten into trouble. My goal is to install LineageOS on my brother's Essential Phone. Based on directions I found here, I determined the active slot was b, so I installed TWRP on slot a. TWRP worked in recovery, but without touch. I then flashed twrp-3.2.3-0-mata.img to the non-active slot. Lastly, I sideloaded twrp-installer-mata-3.2.3-0.zip. I then changed the active slot back to b and rebooted. It now boots only to the bootloader and not to the OS. No matter what option I select--Start, Bootloader, Recovery--it reboots to the bootloader.
Any help to get out of this would be greatly appreciated.
Lineage can be installed more easily using Lineage's own Recovery rather than using TWRP. The Lineage Recovery is a pre-built replacement for your boot.img file.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the suggestion. I had actually already tried that. That's when I got desperate and tried generic TWRP. When I try to flash the Lineage recovery image I get a "No such partition" error, no matter which partition is active. I read somewhere that the flash boot_[letter] command might work, but I get "Couldn't parse partition size '0x'.

Try:
Fastboot flash:raw boot_slot recovery.img
So, I found a solution. In order to overcome the errors I was getting, I had to use the raw command. So it was fastboot flash:raw boot [image file]. Once Lineage recovery was installed, I could boot to recovery and sideload Lineage.

I guess our replies crossed. At any rate, the raw command did the trick. Thanks for your help.
I'm having the same problem, and the raw command doesn't seem to help. Trying to install twrp causes it to be stuck in the bootloader. I somehow was able to install the lineage recovery, then to install the lineage OS. Because I am thinking of trying other ROMs, I decided to go back to trying the TWRP install. Now everything seems broken. When I use the a slot (where I installed TWRP), I'm stuck in the bootloader. When I shift to the b slot, I'm stuck on the Lineage splash page.
(By the way, while I was in the Lineage recovery at some point in the middle of all this, I also sideloaded the TWRP install zip.)
I've tried flashing the TWRP numerous times, and it always seems to work, but the result still is the same.
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I was able to get out of the loop by reflashing the Lineage Recovery, booting into that recovery, then doing a factory wipe. I was able to boot into Lineage. But why can't I successfully install TWRP? Or, I guess, alternately, is it possible to use the Lineage Recovery to flash different ROMs? (Sorry if this goes beyond the scope of the original question.)
Is Lineage using an Android 10 security update after January? January is the last update for Android 10 that TWRP worked with. Once Essential went belly up the TWRP devs just stopped updating when it broke with February security update. Anyway, I just thought I would mention it.

I installed Lineageos directly on the february android stock version. (which is the last one from Essential)
Simply by following the tutorial on the LineageOS website.
Everything worked the first time.
So there is no need to switch back to the January android stock version. The image recovery provided by Lineage works very well.
And for your information LineageOS is updated almost every Monday.
Moreover the developers of the TWRP are not the developers of Essential. Company which closed at the end of February.

I'm of two minds; one is just to go with something stock android-ish, which leads me to Evolution X or Pixel Experience. The other is to cut myself from Google entirely, which leads me to /e/. I'm also looking at Paranoid, just because it looks like it's stable. Any thoughts on any of those?
I had updated Essential to the February update; would that be why TWRP would not successfully install on my phone?
Would that still be true if I had flashed Lineage?

Paranoid Android: What I heard is VoLTE broken, if you enable it, SMS/MMS might not work properly.
Evolution: No update in Android 10 since August, not sure they contine to support Essential phone for Android 11
Pixel Experience: I don't think they Anroid 10 for Essential phone, only official Anroid 9 which is too old
TWRP issue: You need to go back to Jan stock rom before going to any rom if you just flashed LOS
What current stable rom with Nov security update: I'm using crDroid 6.12 (unofficial release but from XDA reliable source)

Why am I unable to flash a custom ROM?

Hi there,
I am using a OnePlus 8 Pro on Oxygen OS 11, Global variant. I have been working on this for at least 10 hours now. I bought the OnePlus 8 Pro orginally running Oxygen OS 12, and when I flashed the recovery (TWRP) for the first time to two slots via this explanation
, I bricked the phone so the only tool accessible to me was fastboot.
Hmm okay, I'll just use MSM tool (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4084953/) to revert back to oxygen OS so I can continue my mission.
I am trying to install the latest CRDROID from their official website after follow their instructions on here. I get as far as being in fastboot mode with the OEM unlocked, and then I try to flash the recovery they provided. It doesn't work. When I select boot into recovery, I get sent back to fastboot, however, when I flashed the original recovery img for Oxygen OS 11 I took from the payload dumper, it loads fine.
OKAY so now I am thinking that perhaps there is a problem with the recovery provided. That is fine so I choose to use TWRP to flash the custom ROM. Thankfully, it does work, and I am able to load into it through recovery, however when I tried to flash the rom through ABD sideload, from the PC whilst in TWRP, it doesn't load! It gets halfway and stops. I tried this several times to no avail.
I choose to then (after having bricked the phone several times by now and having to revert to factory settings with MSM tool), try to flash the custom ROM from the internal storage of the phone via TWRP. That still does not work. I have also tried this with Project Elixir. No success.
I don't know what to do guys. I have followed the instructions provided, but I don't understand why the phone is not accepting other custom recoveries or allowing me to flash a custom ROM.
All help is very much appreciate.
You have to make sure that you are on OOS11 on BOTH slots.
What i would do now:
Use MSM Tool to go to 11.0.4.4.
Boot the phone and flash 11.0.11.11 via local upgrade TWICE (to ensure its on both slots)
Follow the instructions of CRDROID etc.
Edit: Dont use TWRP on Android12 now.
Read this carefully before you do anything: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ro-8t-9r-with-oxygenos-12-coloros-12.4426167/
