I can't root my OS12 !

And I have no idea why. Before I downloaded the newest update I upgraded my TWRP to the latest version. After the update I tried first to install SuperSU via google store but didnt work so i downloaded the installable zip and tried through TWRP. All I get is : E: failed to verify whole-file signature; E: signature verification failed.
Tried the old SuperSu that always worked (2.02) but I get the same bug.
I think the problem is that instead of TWRP when i start my phone with start button + vol down it gets into CYANOGEN recovery. I just installed TWRP ver 2.8.5.1 but its not working =/ dont know what to do, help please

You need to resinstall TWRP, just after you have done so, reboot back to TWRP instead of rebooting the whole system. Once back in TWRP you can flash SuperSU again, then reboot and you should be fine. Also make sure you have the cyanogen recovery option unticked under developer settings.

How do i reinstall TWRP? im pretty sure ive done it already but still when i turn on the phone I have the cyanogen recovery on, tried to do it with TWRP manager (at first i couldnt start it because but later it worked. However, when i click on "Reboot to Recovery" it does not work) I have recovery installed in TWRP manager (ver 2.8.6.0) maybe i can do sth with this ?
Edit: I was able to start TWRP manager, now I'm not again because it says "root is required for this app"

You'll have to install it via PC fastboot or using a Tool, see below.

Once it flashes, are you rebooting back into recovery first (without switching off, fully rebooting, anything else)? You should boot into TWRP and then you can reboot fully, it should be fine. If you just reboot out of TWRP after flashing the it gets overwritten by the stock cyanogen recovery.
After completing the TWRP flash in ABD run the following command.
Code:
adb reboot recovery

Im doing what Im told, so - After the phone has booted back up, turn it off. Now to enter your newly installed custom recovery, hold volume down + power. The phone should boot into recovery mode.
Wish I wasnt so braindead on this field =/ and the cyanogen recovery welcomes me every time
okay so instead of fastboot reboot command i should write the one you gave me? gonna try
EDIT: ERROR, DEVICE NOT FOUND

yeah, i was doing it wrong but i did it right this time and it is still not working. Have my usb debugging on
Is it possible that after the update i dont have the bootloader anymore?

Your boot loader shouldn't be touched.

Okay. I tried and tried but failed. I have no idea what to do anymore. Downloaded new drivers for pc and new fastboot, tried like 15times to flash twrp on my phone and seemingly it worked but when I rebooted, turned it off and on again with volume - it's always cyanogen recovery there, never twrp. I downloaded twrp manager but it won't work because it requires root and I can't root because manager won't work. Saw on oneplus forum that some people have exact same problem but there S been no solution so far and I have no idea what to do anymore. The only thing I haven't tried yet is to hold start+volume- keys after I flash twrp and reboot the phone using the code, so instead of having to turn it off and on again maybe I ll be able to get into the twrp instantly and it won't get overwritten by cyanogen recovery.

OK so i am experiencing the EXACT same issues. When I go into Fastboot Mode all I get is a small cyanogen head forllowed by the words 'FASTBOOT MODE' I get no menu to navigate or anything. TWRP appears to install but I get Cyanogen recover every time. If I use the toolkit and go to fastboot mode it sees it as an unlocked fastboot device but will not allow me to root the device.

After flashboot reboot do not let phone turn on again but use the start + volume- combination, it will take you to twrp. Found the solution finally but I still have some issues with graphics and Google account =/

System is not booting after flashing TWRP

I have flashed TWRP 3.3.1 successfully . after that I rebooted into TWRP and it does not enter its recovery UI. After that, I tried to reboot the phone but it goes to recover screen again without entering recovery UI. I can't open my phone now. please help.
At the beginning, after flashing the twrp it was showing only TWRP screen not the options. then i rebooted the system and the phone rebooted without any issue (till now, phone was ok). then I again flashed the twrp but it remained the same. after that i tried different command from the Powershell. (fastboot boot twrp.img) and it showed downloading. after waiting for 5 min, I just closed the PowerShell and tried to reboot. from that time I cannot boot my phone anymore. then i again flashed the recovery but could not boot the phone. when i triy to boot the phone it only shows the recovery screen. I've attached the commands that I used to flash TWRP. Please help me to solve the problem.

Have you tried booting the recovery by pressing Power + Vol up?

Now since you are bootlooping we would need to install MIUI back again, to do this download the MiFlash Tool and the fastboot ROM for the latest MIUI, now copy it's file path and paste in MiFlash Tool, also make sure it detects your phone, now in the bottom right corner there would be an option like flash_everything_except_internal (similar to this) so that the internal storage isn't erased, now flash the ROM and let the phone boot up atleast once.
Once that's done use this TWRP (https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...unofficial-twrp-3-3-1-proper-t3933531/page4), it has a fix for the encryption bug and won't lead to a bootloop (the password/code/pattern asked in it is the same as the phone's), now you have TWRP installed and running

Thanks for your support. I followed the instruction and bootup the phone. But I'm afraid of flashing TWRP ?

It worked. I installed TWRP without any issue . Thanks again ?

TWRP 3.3.1 has bug, reinstall TWRP 3.2.3 and boot to recovery and then reboot to system.

I have now flashed TWRP. But my phone isn't booting into TWRP recovery and the power button and volume UP button is booting the phone into MIUI recovery. Also when booting into the system, it's asking for a password when I had no passwords on the device. Will MiFlash Tool help in this case??

The password is on the phone lock screen? In that case your device must have got encrypted, you might have to format all partitions and then flash with Mi Flash.Do have a try with MiFlash first, might help if it's not encrypted. Also make sure you used the right commands to flash the recovery, and use OrangeFox or Peter's.

9.1.0.252 (C432E7R1P8) root does not work

Hello,
I was using Magisk wihtout any issue until last update of my Mate 9. Now software version is 9.1.0.252 (C432E7R1P8) and as after every upgrade I re-patch my recovery_ramdis.img and patch from fastboot. In order to boot with root, I used recovery mode and it entered in system with root privileges. After the last update I did the same but recovery mode enters in recovery mode and system shows as non-rooted.
Please help, how to root my Mate 9?

hi, you must install busybox from magisk modules. But huawei changed file system to erofs. Because of some folders only read. We cant delete and change anything from system anymore.
And adaway is not working.
i downgraded to b191.

Magisk does not change anything in system folder. Magisk is not enabled therefore I cannot install busybox. In Emui9 there was a workaround but seems it doesn't work anymore.

You must press to volume up and power buttons when opening for magisk enabling.

Huawei disabled booting to Recovery directly using Vol up and power, you end up in eRecovery instead. Easiest way is to flash magisk patched from fastboot, boot phone, enable USB Debugging in dev options (if you haven't already), and use adb to reboot. Command is:
adb reboot recovery
You can also flash patched image, boot to eRecovery and select the Wipe/Factory reset option, this will boot to recovery which is now Magisk so it'll boot to system with magisk. (Be careful though as the wipe command will still be there, so if you flash back recovery and boot to it your phone will automatically wipe. You can remove the file /cache/recovery/command to prevent this)

Thank you for information. So we returned back to "tethered jailbreak" times with Apple Is there any workaround for this or so far the only solution? Wipe data option is quite unsafe for me, easy to forget and after firmware update to have a wiped device.

It will loop to recovery after you boot to magisk the first time, so each normal reboot will lead to Magisk. You can force eRecovery/normal boot if you plug in USB and boot holding vol up.

It will loop to recovery if battery dies or if I shut down the phone and boot again or it will lead to non Magisk environment?

Hi guys, so i have an untouched p10 on the version above, to install magisk is it as easy as asking one of you for the RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img (not yet in the firmware database) and patch it if it hasnt using pc then also on the pc rebooting to recovery and done? Also has restart and flat battery been tested? I read above that you must use shutdown
Its a vtr-l29 if it makes a difference

Hello everyone,
Lately I've changed my rom from to another (both of them are custom). The problem is when I try to reboot my phone into recovery (TWRP) but instead it reboots into bootloader.

Please be specific the information :
1. Which ROM r u in?
2. Before this happen, which Recovery r u in?
3. Did you try to boot into recovery by adb command : adb reboot recovery ?

1. I'm currently using Arrow os.
2. TWRP.
3.Yes I did because there's no other way you can get into the recovery but using adb only gives me access to TWRP, but the problem is that every rime I want to access TWRP I should use a computer.

Means you still able to boot into recovery, just that u must use command lines and the recovery's not there when u try to boot into it by other method, correct?
If so, download OF latest build R11.1.2.1 ( zip file ) boot into TWRP, flash the zip, boot info OF, flash the zip in OF again, then let it do the auto reboot into recovery. When done, clear cache, Dalvik then reboot to system as normal.
Then try to reboot to recovery by normal ways, inform me back if it's work

Thank you for your reply. I will try to do it after some time because I'm busy right now hopefully it works

TWRP Problem

Long story short, I tried to install TWRP with odin and my phone keeps restarting after I did the reboot from the recovery.
This is roughly what I did:
Installed the adb stuff and android studio(because I don't know if the adb stuff was installed correctly)
Do the volume button stuff for download mode
Connect cable
Open odin
Add the latest twrp file in the AP space and start
The phone booted up regularly ... I can't remember which thread it was but it said to remove battery then boot to recovery so I did it.
The instruction I followed said to advance wipe something but I accidentally swiped to factory reset then it booted back to recovery I think then I went back to wipe what I missed earlier then I tapped reboot and system and it keeps restarting all the time.
I can still enter the twrp recovery mode and the downloading mode.
I think it's a boot loop and I read threads where the simple instruction doesn't work and I haven't tried the command stuff.
Hope someone can help me.
