I lost TWRP a while ago. But I have been able to root by extracting the boot.img from payload.bin and patch it and flash it and all is good. How do I get TWRP back? I have tried the latest TWRP and no dice. Any help?

I did it by flashing the TWRP installer (zip) from Magisk Manager as a module, then booting into TWRP and reinstalling Magisk from there.

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.
Can anybody help me to root this latest version? Is there any special TWRP to boot and then flash latest Magisk?
Use last cosmicdan twrp and last magisk. Easy.
Cheers
I also cannot root my phone after jan updates. after flashing magisk and reboot, there's a black screen in the middle of bootscreen and it restarts the bootscreen and my phone doesnt get rooted.

When next OTA arrives, you will know why it fails to install There is absolutely no reason to mount system partition to flash Magisk.
Plz can anybody plz tell me how to root or unlock camera 2 api in ma a1 latest pie june2020 update
it's a simple procedure
just unlock bootloader then boot into TWRP then flash recovery flasher zip and then flash Magisk zip and reboot
I've flashed all stock firmwares and get root with this simple procedure but note I've used TWRP 3.3.1-0 from Giovix92 because TWRP 3.2.1 flasher zip didn't work on latest firmware and i used Magisk19.3 its the most stable Magisk version in my opinion i never faced any problem with this version
I have been trying to root my device several times now using the patched img method, and all of the time it has ended up soft bricking my device.
I would really like to know how to install Magisk the proper way with TWRP installed.
Please help me out
Thank you
Install Magisk from the zip file in TWRP - you have to do tethered TWRP boot ("fastboot boot twrp.img" - the UEFI bootloader on OxygenOS 10.3.0 and later are fixed so Fastboot tethered boot works correctly now), then install TWRP the usual way from zip installer, and finally reboot back into recovery then install Magisk (also from zip installer).

Does using official TWRP work?
You may want to use unofficial version as it works better than official ones (the one at twrp.me is already way outdated).

We need to wait for Realme to release a fix, just like what happened on color os when fingerprint wasn't working

Uninstall Magisk with the .zip from their site. Github here
Instal stock recovery like you did to install custom recovery.
Next, download the C.27 update and run it from the file manager. Phone will reboot and start updating
After update, just do the whole process to root C.27 version like for Android 9.

So basically if I'm on c27 already, it's okay to use the same root method?

I tried several thins to install Magisk succesfully with no luck.
I received my Global x2 Pro this thursday and i successfully unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp recovery. But when I flask the magisk 20.4 zip and reboot my device, i get an error saying that my boot / recovery partition is corrupt. I have to install C27 again from twrp and it boots up.
Can anybody help me how to install Magisk succesfully? It's driving me nuts. Also, i cant download the vbmeta.img from the OP. So i tried to extract the vbmeta.img from the c27 image to flash, but also no lucck
Edit: Finally having it working with the Orangefox recovery with the vbmeta.img. I thought that the link in OneDrive wasnt working, but it was my home networks which was blocking OneDrive. Problem solved!

Isn't it possible to install ota update from twrp? (I use mauronofrio). Is it mandatory to unroot, install C27 and then re-root?

It's possible if someone makes a flashable zip, though I dont know of that can be done for every phone. Otherwise you need a stock recovery to install the OTA.

Like @adsubzero said. Unless you have a custom ozip file to flash on TWRP, you need to have stock recovery to install a standard ozip.

In the backup options I don't see system, only system image. Does anyone else have this issue?
I started with a fresh MSM to 11.0.7.9 and used ota updates to 11.0.8.13. Extracted the boot images of a and b slots. Used magisk canary and last stable and patched the boot images. Neither of the patched images would boot in fastboot. Ended going back to 11.0.8.11 so I could use root. Anybody else have issue?

Fastboot boot lineage recovery then hit install in recovery and adb sideload magisk.zip and it'll flash. This is the easiest way I've found how to get root.
