Guys!!! what the hell!
i did everyting was written in here. Bootloader unlock, everything ok, flashed twrp, flash vbeta.img then flash any rom but the phone never boot! still go always and alwasy again to recovery!!!
What am i missing?
Format data in twrp.then reboot
I've done everything. Format everything ecc but nothing has changed...still no boot and recovery immediately.
I've tried to put the stock recovery again and it boots (i flashed of course via twpr the c.01 RUI ozip file before). I really can't understand.
I've tried to root the phone but again problem. I put the twrp recovery again (on the C.01 stock rom) then flashed magisk 20.1 or the latest. Everything ok, rebooted and....it says the boot img is corrupted, write or go to the service support! So i entered again in fastboot and flashed a new boot.img. No boot but can enter recovery. Put again the twrp, flashed stock rom again, put stock recovery, format data and now eveyrhing ok. Why so hard to even root???
Did you check format data on right bottom of twrp.this is not same as the wiping data
i made all format.
another curious stuff is. I put twrp, vbeta img . Reboot in twrp. ok. I reboot phone, go to RUI then i try to go again in recovery and .....no more twrp! but stock one! twrp has been replaced! why!!!!!?
Correct,Stock rom will replace twrp to stock recovery.but custom rom not changing recovery
I was doing the same mistake.
You must Format Data after flashing Rom and if on reboot to system it says Os not installed then first reboot to recovery.

uhm ok.
So basically - Flash twrp - go to twrp - flash rom (pixel experience for example) - format data - and then reboot to recovery again?? what's the point sorry
oh man i missed up the format stuff.
Thank you very much. I made it. After format data then i insalled the pixel experience rom via adb sideload now it started let's see hows it the modding rom world on this device!
I followed all those steps. My phone boots, stays on Lineage logo for 4-5 minutes and then it reboots back to orange recovery. Any idea? Thanks!
I have a Redmi note 8 with MIUI 12 installed. Bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted.
When I try to flash TWRP recovery in fastboot mode using my PC, it successfully flashes and boots into the TWRP recovery. TWRP does not ask for any password for decrypting the files, and when I go to install>sdcard then the storage is all in random letters, completely unrecognizable.
I have tried a lot of tutorials on youtube but none of them worked. I tried flashing the latest version of TWRP, didn't work. I tried formatting all data and rebooting back into recovery mode, didn't work. (if you reboot to system after installing TWRP, the phone automatically deletes TWRP and the next time you open recovery mode you just get the default MI recovery, and you have to flash TWRP again to open TWRP recovery.) I tried almost everything on the internet but none of it worked. Is there any way I can make it ask for the decryption password? or have my files decrypted? I just need the TWRP for a one-time-use to install a custom ROM. I don't need it to be installed permanently, but no problem even if it does get installed permanently. I just want my custom ROM.
Please help
does that work?:
Boot into twrp, then
Code:
adb shell
twrp decrypt myPassword
(myPassword is your user password)

Okay, interessting. What's the exact error?
However, since you only want to use twrp to flash a custom OS, you could try to boot twrp (without flashing)
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
and then wipe data via twrp and then install your custom OS. You can use sideload which should be located under "advanced" I guess.
Code:
adb sideload myCustomOS.zip
EDIT: Don't boot out of twrp before sideloading, since your os should encrypt everything again after wiping which makes it unpossible for twrp to decrypt again (at least in your case, since it failed for some reason).
If you booted out of twrp, just wipe again and then sideload.
the correct and recommend way to install TWRP is
Flash TWRP
Erase userdata partition <~ it's important to do this as soon as possible since booting your device would just encrypt everything again
Format userdata partition
by doing this you would be able to access data partition files and folder would not be random letters.

Sorry for the late reply. Earlier i just gave up on installing the custom ROM and continued with my stock from. Today a tried again, installed TWRP and turns out it is not showing random letters now. its all regular storage. i didn't even do anything to decrypt it lol it just fixed itself. Now I will install the room myself. Thank you for your help though
Ah sh** here we go again. So i installed the custom rom successfully and everything worked fine, the TWRP too. but when I tried to flash a magisk patched image (the image that I used to root my phone in MIUI) then it got stuck in the boot screen. I had to flash the stock fastboot rom again.. And as expected from my piece of **** that xiaomi calls a phone, TWRP will show encrypted folders, and does not ask for a password. Same problem. Rooted my phone again, using the magisk root image, and it worked like usual, the phone rooted. Now i am stuck again in this bs. I guess I will wait for about 4-5 days and continue using the phone like normal. Maybe it will work again this time. I will try your method here first

Okay i tried wiping the data, cache and dalvik but it shows a huge essay of "error opening xxx/xxxx" in red text. Data wipe failed.
See you after like 4-5 days... hopefully
Update. I finally found a solution. It took literal hours of experimenting to find this.
-Flashed the fastboot ROM of the phone
-Rooted the phone by flashing magisk patched image
-Flashed Inception kernel via FK kernel manager
-Rebooting after flashing the kernel, It will get stuck in a black screen with no text whatsoever (probably a bootloop)
-Installed TWRP (This time TWRP does not show encrypted letters), Wiped all data, Transferred the custom ROM zip to the phone (while in TWRP) and flashing the rom
-The rom is flashed successfully. On the first reboot you get greeted with another bootloop. Fortunately the phone booted into TWRP. This time the folders are encrypted again.
-Successfully wiped the data (advanced>wipe data). No errors in data wiping this time.
-A fully working Corvus OS setup appears on rebooting.
I think the whole TWRP problem was fixed by the custom kernel. Anyways I am finally done with this now. You probably enjoyed seeing all this xD

I like that you keep trying and finding a solution, even though you had to invest hours to make it work!
Let's hope it will work if you update the OS though – I'd actually suggest a backup of all of your data before you do an update in the future, just to be safe!

tell me how to turn off a smartphone with a non-working sensor?
you can still use adb push command from pc to transfer files to your phone :
adb push "nameoffile" /sdcard
(place the file in your adb folder) I was able to root a phone that had this issue using this technique.
I think u should flash dm verity becoz when i flashed the rom and flashed dm verity it worked fine
Hello,
So my phone was in a recovery boot loop and had to rebuild the boot partition in twrp. So I'm back in my phone now and everything is the same but have lost root. Still have access to twrp. It's been a while since I rooted it and don't have any of the files anymore. What do I need to flash to get root back? Do I need to back up all my data or will it be safe?
I am still running android 9 and oos 9.0.7 and I assume bootloader is still unlocked. Orignally rooted with magisk.
thanks

Damn it, so I booted into twrp and then flashed latest magisk v23 zip but when it finished it said failed to mount partition in red and now the phone just boots to fastboot mode.. I can get back into twrp.. and all my files are still there in file manager.. but it won't boot into my phone.. only fastboot mode. Any advice?
First, boot into TWRP and delete all Magisk Module files and folders:
How to Uninstall Magisk Modules Using TWRP Recovery
Removing the Magisk module manually causes bootloop. You can easily uninstall Magisk modules using TWRP recovery without resetting your device.
www.droidviews.com
I had the same and it seems a module was causing fastboot mode. If that doesn't work try downloading and flashing the stock boot image for your OOS version in TWRP (remember to flash TWRP again before reboot). At least then you will have your phone back.
i don't know how else to describe this, i was flashing a custom ROM, then flashed magisk and now my phone is stuck in bootloop unable to go to recovery or system, the phone boots then black screen, etc etc, the same goes for recovery except it is faster (i reflashed recovery and it still happens) unable to do basically anything other than stay in fastboot mode.
what should i do?
edit 1: i can reboot to recovery and only be able to access shell.
Enter fastboot and flash recovery again. Brigudav's TWRP is the most used one. Gringo80's TWRP is new but seems to be working as others have written. (Both are unofficial and a take or leave, we don't have their source code, unfortunately.)
Right after flashing reboot to RECOVERY (not system). Can do with fastboot command or by holding button as usual. Alternative: reboot to recovery image file itself.
Once in recovery, format data (the option that has to type "yes" ). Reboot to RECOVERY again. Wipe cache, dalvik.
Reboot to system. Probably will work if your custom ROM was flashed properly.
Otherwise you can do everything again and also reflash ROM.
EDIT: I missed the Magisk part. So, while in recovery, dirty flash same custom ROM again. Or alternative: rename the Magisk file to uninstall.zip and flash it....this will restore your original boot and completely clean Magisk.
After you properly booting to system, then you can again try install Magisk.
why does flashing TWRP and booting to it directly work? i don't know! but it worked!
it seems that the custom ROM i installed is probably corrupt and flashed anyway ( i reflashed dirty/clean to make sure ) thanks for your help.
Hi, I run LineageOS 19.1 on my Vayu. It is obviously unlocked and I have Rooted it with Magisk.
I have put off updating the System but did it just now through the Updater in the Settings. From 20220916 to 20221104.
I ran into a Bootloop and went into Fastboot, installed TWRP with ADB sideload. (Had stock Recovery before)
I then tried to just revert back to 20220916 (which was not so smart). I tried to sideloaded the boot.img, but it showed "failed".
--> Still in Bootloop after Rebooting
Now I am unable to flash any boot.img or boot at all.
I tried to flash something else (Magisk.zip), which worked. I have removed all magisk modules, tried to boot with
magisk --remove-modules.
Does anyone have any Ideas? I don't really want to Reset my Phone, even though I have abundant Backups.
Thank you )
Moving back to old version almost all the times is not possible without full reset, new version contains new scripts and possibly new files, how would you explain this for system?
By flashing old version over new one, you probably messed up your system, might as well just backup your data and start from scratch.
