My t500 the TWRP img keep getting overwritten with the stock img. I'm not talking about on first reboot, but after TWRP has been up an running and used to format data. So, is it possible to use 7-zip to replace the vbmeta and recovery images in the BUJ1 stock ROM? After compressing the tar files with lz?

How can I flash an img (bootloader+baseband+kernel+firmware), but only flash it as a ROM (kernel+firmware)?
Are any mods packaged as img instead of rom or zip? I am getting img, rom, and zip mixed up.
I am actually on modified twrp with multirom, i would like to go back to orginal twrp, do i have to flash other zip files after flashing the new recovery img?
Hi guys,
At the moment we don't have many custom ROMs for 6T but we have quite a few custom kernels to play with.
Let's say we are on latest OSS, regards with Magisk and having TWRP. And with custom Kernel.
Correct way to go back to stock kernel and flash different custom kernel would be:
Boot to TWRP.
Flash Stock boot.img
Reboot to TWRP again
Flash TWRP zip
Reflash Magisk
Reboot to System.
Done.
Am I correct? Or do we have to reflash full OTA?

Is it okay to flash img files in TWRP? I was told that it is meant just for zip files. Fastboot for img files.

As long as you flash correct image to correct slot, it should not be an issue..

Since years
my preference is to use EXKM and flash through there. my process
need:
stock boot for whatever your running, in my case .11 boot.img
whatever kernel you want to flash
1. in exkm, flash the stock boot.img, don't reboot
2. then flash your kernel of choice, don't reboot
3. in magisk manager, flash magisk, and use direct patch, then reboot
once it reboots, your g2g
Hi everybody,
I have a OP 6T McLaren, Oxygen 9.0.12 and I tried to uninstall Magisk 18.1 and update to Magisk 18.2 canary and something went wrong. After flashing I got the following error:
!Unable to unpack boot image
---
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file `/sdcard/Download/magisk-uninstaller.zip
The same error when I try to flash any Magisk version.
Phone doesn`t boot into system now. I can fastboot into TWRP and access files and folders.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Flash the magisk uninstaller then reboot. Then flash magisk.
I can't flash magisk uninstaller or magisk. It gives me the above error.
Even if I flash twrp installer in temp twrp it installs without error but after reboot it boots only in bootloader.
What can I do now to get the system working again?
-flash stock boot.img (where do I get file for McLaren 9.0.12?
-use MSMdownloadtool from here?

flash this ota via temp twrp?

Try
Reflash OOS 9.0.12
Flash twrp
Reboot recovery
Flash magisk
Reboot system
Backup your data
Sent from my OnePlus6T using XDA Labs
Mclaren uses the same stock restore image.
I've been there format data .my friend let's his SD card encrypt or get errors on top of letting twrp (wrong version won't decrypt data either) if you do that reboot in system make sure adb is on and oem and auto updates are off
use different twrp the test build works better I had problems with orginal TWRP too
Solved!
All I had to do was flashing stock boot.img to boot_A and boot_B. Now It's working again...
Thank you very much for your help.

Ah.. Stuck in exactly same situation. Did you unzip the stock rom and flash boot.img through fastboot? Or did you take any different steps?
Niks.
Yes, unzip and flash both files via fastboot.
Just a note.
When installing Magisk and TWRP; I always install Magisk in one slot and reboot. I then use a partition backup tool to grab the stock boot image.
I then flash the stock boot image so the phone is completely stock again.
At this point I go through the TWRP and Magisk install the normal way.
I do this so I can always flash back to stock.
I also don't care about retaining TWRP or root.
I just start all over. It takes a few minutes but I don't usually have issues.
I also local install the same ROM to both slots before I install anything.
This way the opposite slot will always boot with the same version of the ROM.
so I'm in twrp 3.2.3-0 and using custom roms without flashing that decrypt.zip and i want to update my twrp what to do?
and if i want to update, can i flash the img file via twrp?
Download higher twrp.img file and flash via exsisting twrp in recovery partision ,your recivery will be updated.
