[GUIDE] Install Oreo Custom ROMs via TWRP

Good day to everyone! I wish to provide proper steps on how to install the latest Oreo custom ROMs via TWRP in order to lessen the clutter in the custom ROM threads.
You'll need the following:
Latest TWRP Official (Fastboot TWRP)
Latest TWRP Installer (PERMANENT TWRP)
Considering you already installed TWRP via fastboot, we'll make it so that it will be permanently installed and you will not need to flash TWRP via bootloader again.
Download ROM + GApps (or no gapps if Pixel Experience)
Reboot to latest Official TWRP
Do necessary wipes (FORMAT data if having storage number issue; if not, wipe system/data/cache) then transfer ROM + gapps + magisk to internal/external storage
Flash ROM (don't reboot)
Flash latest TWRP Installer (for Permanent TWRP)
Reboot recovery (no need to transfer slots anymore as TWRP does it automatically)
Flash Gapps + Magisk
Reboot to system
To DIRTY FLASH or update the same ROM with an updated version
Reboot to recovery
Flash ROM
Flash TWRP Installer
Reboot recovery
Flash Gapps + Magisk
Reboot to system
For installing custom kernels
Download custom kernel
Reboot recovery
Flash custom kernel
Reboot to system
All of these has been tried and tested by me already.

Guys, TWRP Installer IS the Permanent TWRP. That's why you need to flash it every time after flashing custom ROMs.

With custom ROMs we have to install Twrp installer every time along with ROM zip, bit awkward.

Is it just me but every time I flash twrp after flashing rom, I got error 20 when flashing gapps. Here's my steps:
- flash rom
- switch partition
- flash twrp
- reboot recovery (or bootloader then flashboot recovery)
- flash gapps -> error 20
Without flashing twrp permanent, I can flash gapps, no error.

Yep. That's because the ROM being flashed overwrites the recovery since there's no recovery partition.

If we need to flash it every time after flash rom so how it's called permanent TWRP I don't understand. That because our device don't have recovery partition? If that so where this TWRP installed ( in which partition)?

It's called permanent twrp because it won't get replaced by built in recovery whenever you reboot to recovery from system. TWRP gets installed within a part of the system partition.

Error 20 if I'm not wrong, means you are using the wrong gapps package.
Are you using the right one?

Yes, I certainly use the right one (8.1), that's why I was baffled when twrp says that my device is 7.1.2 every time I tried to flash the 8.1 gapps. Anyway, flashing rom then straightaway followed by gapps and magisk was fine. I can flash twrp installer later on. But I just don't understand why.

Well that's weird. Works for me by flashing Gapps and Magisk after rebooting to recovery since it switches slots when you do that. Did you possibly come from a Nougat ROM which is why that's the error showing up?

I was thinking of that too but no, I was on Oreo Jan built the first time I rooted the phone and flash LOS15.1. Do you think I should at least flash Oreo stock once? Maybe my bootloader is still Nougat

Did you flash lazy flasher ?
6.6 worked for me. But I couldn't set up the device cause " device locked". I even tried to unlock it via i.mi.com but I already unbinded rn5 from it.
Someone got a solution? I can't connect to WiFi caus it's not opening the settings....

Android P Installation with TWRP

Hi, how do I install the latest android P on my oneplus 6? I have an unlocked bootloader with twrp installed but not rooted.

Download the P zip via OnePlus forums, flash it through the update section in settings and wipe the phone via recovery. It will wipe TWRP though and replace it with stock recovery.

Download the full version, install in TWRP 3.2.1 and install TWRP immediately afterwards, then back to the TWRP menu and reinstall TWRP.zip again, then restart and enjoy

When u say back to twrp menu you mean after reboot to recovery and then to install twrp.zip or in the same session to install twrp twice?

what are known bugs in DP3?
does snap chat work? as reports say that safety net fails

So that TWRP is not deleted, I recommend to install it again in TWRP menu!
Sure is safe.

DP3 is nice, but too buggy, laggy and non user friendly, the gestures feel so much different from stable, i logged a few bugs but not suitable for a DD

Install the stable version of android p now and twrp does work. use bluesparks twrp version found in xda.

But what TWRP? Is the TWRP on the official site working also on Android 9?

Hi, i have a question :

But i can't make a advanced reboot to launch TWRP, anyone as a issue please ?

Flash through ex kernel manager app
If the kernel uses "any kernel" then go to magisk and flash magisk one more time aswell, reboot.
What your saying is that you can't boot to twrp in any way? Not even with phone off and volume down? If not, reinstall twrp (I recommend blu_spark)

Exact, i can't boot twrp, phone off and volume down take a screenshot and if its shutdown, there is a simple reboot.
I'm noob lol, if i reinstall twrp it's wipe my phone ?

@Pepinow Power off your phone. Hold vol up and power, that will take you to fastboot. From there use the vol keys to show recovery at the top then boot to it. This is of course assuming you flashed the twrp zip when first installing it

Every ROM results in bootloop

So I have some experience with flashing Custom Roms, but I think I might be doing something wrong with the Mi Mix 3.
I unlocked the bootloader, installed the latest Version of TWRP (twrp-3.3.0-0-perseus), wiped all data and tried to flash Resurrection Remix v7.0.2 via Sideload, but after this resulted a bootloop with the MI logo when trying to boot, I tried to flash the Lineage OS 16, same result. Then I tried to install them as usual. Do you have an idea why this is happening?

Do you have the right vendor image installed? The vendor image for each room is different some use the Chinese one, others are using the global one. Check the room threads. The OP should tell you.

Wiping isn't enough, you need to format data

Try this
1.format data
2.flash eu firmware 9.5.9
3.let it boot
4.reboot to TWRP and wipe
5.flash 9.2.15 firmware (to have proximity sensor working) without rebooting flash Los and gapps
6.flash magisk if you like
7. Reboot

You may want to use the Xiaomi Mi Flash tool to restore using an image. I'm guessing you have mismatched vendor partitions, which is probably the cause of your issue. You can find instructions in the guides section.
