Hey all, I just got my pixel and am coming from a 5x. The process of flashing TWRP and rooting was pretty much painless on the 5x. I have been able to root my.pixelby using fastboot boot TWRP , but I can't permanently install it without it boot looping back to recovery. On android oreo 8.1 and tried latest TWRP image and install zip. Any advice?

You need to flash Magisk after flashing the twrp installer zip, then reboot system.

Hello,
I wanted to install a custom Rom on my Nexus 5 running Android 6.0 so I downloaded TWRP latest and unlocked the Bootloader and installed TWRP.
Now the OS doesn't bootup anymore and the TWRP starts but gets rebooted all the time.
Tried to install an older TWRP version 2.8.70 and sideloaded and installed Pure Nexus Rom but this doesn't fix the problem.
Wiping anything from TWRP gives error messages...
Anyonw can help please!?
OK I have the stock recovery now installed from Android 6.0 and the OS boots up with Pure Nexus... looks OK,...
Anyway what's the problem with TWRP now!?
I don't think so. TWRP 2.8.7.1 is working fine for months. Did you full wipe before flashing your custom rom? Did you flash something else?
U need to install twrp 2.8.4.0 first because twrp 2.8.7.1 can only re-write on twrp 2.8.4.0 or higher..its work fine for me at official google M

That happened to me way back when I first used TWRP. From the official TWRP thread:
"If you have just used fastboot oem unlock, you should let the device boot up normally first before trying to install TWRP."
I think if you don't boot fully once before trying to install TWRP, it loops like that.
How would i install Android p/9/pie on my pixel since the bootloader is unlocked and rooted? Is there a guide i can follow? Would i use the factory image or the OTA file? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Is it do able without a computer my laptop quit on me? If its not I'll have to wait till I'm around my moms house to do it. Ive only ever flash custom roms before so im not sure if it can be done with TWRP. Thanks for the help.
You need to use the fastboot tools, so you need your PC.

Okay thanks for the help.
Whats the difference between the files?
9.0.0 (PPR1.180610.009, Aug 2018)
9.0.0 (PPR1.180610.010, Aug 2018, Telus)
The Telus one is for people who have Telus for cell service. If you don't have Telus use the 009 if you have telus use 010. Google tends to do this from time to time.

Does this apply if you have custom recovery (TWRP) and modified boot.img (Magisk)?
I fastboot flashed the 9.0 files on top of the July 8.1 version without a data wipe. I had to reinstall TWRP and Magisk using the same install procedure I used on 8.1. Even though root was successfully working on Magisk 16 I had to install beta version 16.7 for the SafetyNet check to work properly.

How long did it take to boot after installing Magisk? I let my phone sit at the white boot screen for about 30 minutes before I had to reflash Pie again.

Not the exact same problem as yours, but I found that I wasn't able to boot into the OS after flashing Magisk 16.7. It would get to the animated "G" loading screen, but then reboot automatically and go into TWRP. Currently reflashing the stock (without wipe) and trying again.
Try installing the Magisk Uninstaller, then rebooting into system. If that doesn't work, you can use fastboot to install the boot.img file taken from the full factory image. If you already have it ready to go, it's faster than a full reinstall of the OS.

For me it did not take long for the Pixel to start after boot. Maybe a minute or two. It did take 5-10 minutes to run the Pie update.
Maybe it was because I originally installed Magisk 16 before going to version 16.7.
I agree with post-mortem's suggestion. It will be easier for you to reinstall Magisk before reinstalling the OS.
I've been starting out by flashing the factory image with adb. Then once it boots I can fastboot the twrp.img and get twrp into the recovery slot with no issues. I didn't get a chance today, but tomorrow I'll try with Magisk again.

I did end up doing that, though I don't know if this itself solved my problem. I'll explain more below

I ended up fixing my problem. After posting this, I repeated my exact steps a few more times to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong.
1. boot into bootloader
2. fastboot factory image (without -w)
3. boot into stock Pie
4. fastboot boot twrp 3.2.2.0 image
5. install twrp 3.2.2.0 zip
6. reboot into recovery
7. flash Magisk 16.7
8. reboot into Pie
These steps didn't work, and I would always get into a bootloop that takes me straight to recovery
What I ended up doing that fixed my problem was the following
1. boot into bootloader
2. fastboot factory image (without -w)
3. boot into stock Pie
4. fastboot boot twrp 3.2.2.0 image
5. install twrp 3.2.2.0 zip
6. reboot into recovery
7. flash Magisk uninstaller
8. reboot recovery
9. flash Magisk 16.6
10. set boot partition to B
11. reboot into rooted Pie
Specifically, I used the Magisk Uninstaller, used an "older" version of Magisk (16.6, not the later 16.7), and I also changed my boot partition from A to B after flashing Magisk. This worked for me, and until I know specifically why, I'm going to just re-use this procedure on the next factory image update.
Hopefully this can help someone else having the same problem!
So, i have used my whole saturday on unlocking the booloader which was the easiest and quickest and then trying to root, but that has failed every time. I first flashed the stock firmware zip 9.0.2 then I go back I dont reboot and flash the twrp and magisk zip and then it wont boot up,
when I try rebooting after flashing the firmware back to the system it sends me to the firmware,
when I try flashing a new firmware and then boot into fastboot then twrp and flash magisk it wont boot up,
and when I do the same only with twrp it wont neither.
I have tried sevel magisk versions, 17.1,17.2,17.3 none of them worked
as for the twrp blu spark or the one from the twrp website, i was always able to boot into twrp but not really to flash it as that would end in a twrp loop
can PLEASE anyone, someone, with a good heart and patience help me ? im really loosing my ****s over this
:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Try booting into blu_spark twrp
Installing blu_spark twrp
Rebooting to blu_spark twrp
Install magisk 17.3 or 17.1 (I am using 17.3 because it it beta but less stable.)

The normal twrp is known to be buggy on the OnePlus 6 since there was encryption and stuff. Here is the blu_spark twrp IMG to boot:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=30485
And here you need to flash the blu_spark twrp: https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=30484
Flash that then reboot into recovery again
Then flash magisk
If this doesn't work for you I think there is another way.

You might be on the wrong slot. DO you even have a system to boot to? Not sure why you even tyred flashing the 9.0.2 ROM. If I was you I would start over. Use the fastboot ROM to get a clean wiped system booting. After that
fastboot boot bluespark twrp v86. Img
Flash bluespark twrp v86. Zip
Reboot revovery
Flash magisk 17.1

I flashed the rom because my phone didn't boot up anymore after either flashing TWRP or magisk.
Why should I use the fastboot room, what is the benefit if I use it.
Is the reboot to recovery necessary ? I feel like that part is actually not working properly ?

Yes the reboot to recovery is the most nessesary part of it as it will change slots.
You can try boot to recovery
Flash oos full rom
Flash bluespark twrp. Zip
Reboot recovery
Flash full ROM again
Flash bluespark twrp. Zip again.
Reboot recovery
Flash magisk.

Can you explain how to properly boot back into recovery?
Previously I either just went on the back button and flashed the other Zip's or I went back to the reboot overview and pressed recovery there but that also did not seem to work properly I think.

Just press back button in Recovery/ reboot / choose recovery.
Hi all,
I just updated to 10.3 on my 7 pro plus. I know I really don't need twrp I do have the stock recovery but I like twrp. If I go thru the adb route, booting into twrp img and installing twrp zip, will it install into both slots? And will I lose root? Thanks for any help.
I'm not sure on the answer to your question but I used this guide to update and I didn't lose twrp.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/guide-bootloader-unlock-twrp-install-t3940368
Boot img, flash zip, flash magisk. Should give you twrp and keep root.
Thanks all. I just bit the bullet and tried flashing twrp.img from the twrp site to install the twrp.zip but the screen just stayed on fastboot so I rebooted into normal then attempted again with mauronofrio img and zips. ( Then I had to Magisk after I rebooted recovery.) It's all good. I hope this helps someone else as well.
Hello,
i have a question about getting into Recovery or maybe i have to install it again?
So i installed twrp following this guide
Install LineageOS on walleye | LineageOS Wiki
wiki.lineageos.org
At first i installed the Lineage OS recovery but wasnt able to flash a ROM with that so i switched and installed twrp.
It was installed to slot A.
I then went ahead and installed an ASOP ROM.
Now the ROM is working fine and i wanted to go into TWRP and do a Backup.
However i cant get into TWRP. Not with key combos nor with adb reboot recovery.
All i get is the fallen Android Robot picture.
I guess i wrote the image to Slot A as well and now have no recovery left.
Do i have to flash TWRP again and this time to Slot B?
I dont wanna brick anything by accident as i have seen some posts where people switched Slots and got bricks / semi bricks.
Thanks for any help or clarification.
Kind Regards
Hello mate, i never reinstalled twrp on my pixel 2 after catching a bootloop after installing it and then flashing magisk so stuck with using fastboot to fastboot boot twrp when I wanted to flash a ROM/mod.
Sounds strange that twrp was only on 1 slot as the twrp installer zip should flash both slots when flashed?
With regard to losing twrp you'll probably find that the new ROMs recovery has overwritten your twrp recovery during the flashing process giving you a stock recovery again (Fallen android). When I was using a 6T which is an A/B slot device you always had to reflash the twrp installer after a ROM flash to keep twrp installed.
I'd check the official twrp thread re backing up with twrp as it did have problems either backing up or restoring last I used it.
Hope that's some help.
