Unable to get ROMs to flash on TWRP 3.2.3-1-sailfish - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Currently using TWRP 3.2.3-1 on my Pixel (sailfish). Followed this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/slota-b-how-to-flash-roms-magisk-kernel-t3754175
I'm aware it's for the XL, but I was hoping it might work for the regular pixel. It didn't. I rebooted after flashing Resurrection Remix Oreo and OpenGApps, didn't get that error from TWRP saying there's no OS installed like I usually do, so I figured it had worked. Nope. Bootlooped immediately after.
Does anyone have any solutions or other guides to flashing ROMs on the Sailfish?

Have you tried flashing any of the custom ROMs in the Pixel specific forum, following the instructions given there?

LineageOS Questions

I'm trying to install LineageOS and I am pretty much stuck on one part. I'm on stock currently and do not have two but my device is unlocked. Now my question is if I need to flash twrp that is given in the LineageOS thread and then reboot into recovery and flash the ROM+ GApps or if I need to flash twrp compatible with EMUI5 then flash LineageOS+ GApps and finally flash the twrp that is compatible with LineageOS giving in that thread... Before anyone says that if I'm confused I shouldn't be flashing Roms I'd like to say I have tons of experience doing so but this is troubling me and I just rather ask a question if anyone has an answer to it before I pull the trigger and just do it.

XT1039/Peregrine Need help!

Greetings,
I am trying to instal the LineageOS on my XT1039 Peregrine but I am always getting the following error: E1001: Failed to update system image. Updater process ended with ERROR: 7. I am able to install any stock rom on it, without any issue, but when I try to install Lineage, or any other modded rom, it doesn't work at all. (I've only tried Slim and cRdroid, both gave different issues as far as I remember). Doing google searchs mainly I found posts here and on Lineage subreddit which possible fixes which include: Updating the bootloader, which didn't work because it's already on the latest version, told me to downgrade TWRP and try to flash again also didn't work and I have tried editing the updater-script by removing the asserts or editing the block_image_update lines which also didn't work.
I have a XT1069 Titan which I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the twrp recovery and flashed the latest nightly LineageOS build and it worked just fine, but I can't get it to work on my XT1039 Peregrine.
Thank you for your time and apologies if something like this has already been solved before. I couldn't find a [solved] thread that works for me.
All stock roms from here work just fine:

updater-script mods I tried:

tool I used to try to upgrade my bootloader, but I already had the latest version:

Edit: Not sure if this is worth mentioning, but before getting the stock roms to work, I think I may have hard or soft bricked my peregrine and somehow managed to fix thanks to a lot of hours on google and xda forums.
Off topic!
This is completely off topic, but let's say I want to sell a phone, if I wipe all partitions from twrp will it wipe everything leaving no trace like when we format a SSD before selling a PC? I belive that a factory reset done from android itself doesn't wipe the whole phone and possibly leave traces, is this correct?

custom roms keep puttimg me back into fastboot

So long time android user. I have the tmo variant of the Oneplus7 pro with unlocked bootloader via exploit found. Have twrp installed amd stock rom rooted with magisk. I tried installing the Havoc and the Aosip rom followed directions step by step. Havoc booted to the first gteen splash screen then reboots to fastboot. Aosip gets to the settimg up wifi then reboots to fastboot. I made a backup of the stock rom before installing anything and im able to restore it with twrp and root. I looked in the threads but didn't find anything unless i missed it. Also been sitting on telegram waiting on someone to shed some light.

TWRP will not installan ROM that I give it on OP7 P

I have been trying unsucessfully tryiing to install Havoc OS on my phone for 2 days now and I believe the common theme seems to be TWRP.
I have tried to install different versions of Havoc, and then other Roms too and all fail in the same place.
There is no error code.
I have also tried to install different versions of TWRP going from 3.4.0.0 to 3.3.1.79 to 3.3.1.70 and none of these work
The steps are not complex and I have followed them to the letter
the bootloader is unlocked and magisk got installed although not needed for this part.
I also tried to install the rom via USB OTG and didnt work
please assist I am having so many issues with stock OS that i would like to try something else
TIA Bart
This can be closed I found it a much older version on the TWRP site itself and that actually allowed me to to flash the ROM

Question roms don't work

I have a problem installing Lineage OS. I have installed it with its official method, but at the time of starting its initial configuration it restarts several times until it goes into recovery mode, with the legend of Corrupt Android.
The same thing happens to me with the Pixel Experience which is being developed to be the official ROM soon. The difference is that before restarting and finishing in the same it appears to me that "com.phone.services" It has stopped.
I have done everything by fastboot and platforms tools as indicated by the official methods and their own provided recovery's.
With the STOCK ROM no problem.
Does anyone know what happens?
The recovery images that come from LineageOS site don't seem to work for me. I had to go here to get LOSRecovery.img for it since that's the only possible way any version of LineageOS will function.
Also, from my experience, the unofficial TWRP has issues when installed, but not when booted up directly from bootloader.

I understand, but it is something that also happens to me with the Pixel Experience.
I have not used TWRP. Only the official methods by fastboot and platforms tools
