Great. Much appreciated :good:
In step 3 after flashing rom , what about reboot to recovery instead of reboot to bootloader and flash twrp again?
EDIT

Sorry. We r just booting TWRP. I did not noticed that :silly:

But it can't flash custom roms. The only TWRP that can flash custom roms is from deadman.

Yeah, that's right. For flashing the ROM itself only the deadman. For other actions the usual TWRP can be flashed!

Is it necessary to delete Internal? While clean flashing Nougat image the Internal is already wiped right?

Yes but it also installs the OS as well. You want a clean slate completely, if possible, so best to wipe it again before flashing a custom ROM.

May be it has to do something with files written when you boot N 1st time. Like temp files.

Its for the encryption. So if you flash custom roms it doesnt show "data is encrypted" in your first boot. Thats what i've read.
You can always try flashing without wiping internal and see.

Noobish question: Internal memory wiping is necessary? Data wiping will delete app+their data. Formatting internal only erase media like music n videos.

You can leave it if you want but im not recommending to not wipe internal.

Good day! Never failed to flash the rom in this way, the rollback to the nougat is made, the necessary recovery is loaded - an error 1. Tell me what might be the matter?

first, can i flash rom on both partion a and b ?
why after flash and rebooting to twrp again pation change to B?
why not flash magisk and gapps on same partion with first installation?

-Do not flash it on both slots.
-The reason it switches between A and B, is because the rom gets installed on the second partition and not the partition you are on when you flash it (i think).
-And you can't flash magisk or gapps because, like what i've said before, the rom gets flashed on the other slot.
Im not 100% sure that's how it works, so don't quote me.

I've flashed viperos having no issues. I had flashed nougat firmware before that. Now in order to flash another rom, do I have to flash stock nougat firmware again or is it ok that I just clean wipe and flash new rom?

[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.

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

Yes, if you have TWRP you can flash it with it. Extrqct the persist.img from the fastboot rom and copy it to your phone. Now restart the phone in TWRP, go to Mount and put a tick on the persist partition. Then go to install, click on select as an image and flash the persist.img.

F2 pro reboot after magisk root,Help

I rooted f2 pro by using magisk patch boot.img method on firmware 12.0.4 Global, after rooting, I installed adaway to remove ads using hosts file and installed Xiaomi dialer magisk modules only.Root is working fine.
Now the phone randomly sometimes reboots in recovery mode
, and sometimes when I turn on data, the phone reboots and again goes into recovery mode. Help, please..............
Note: I have not installed TWRP or anything else just used only those 2 apps that need root access

Install TWRP it's more convenient because if u mess up something with magisk there's always a uninstaller zip that u can flash to get clean.
So flash THIS TWRP : https://mifirm.net/downloadtwrp/148
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fasboot boot recovery.img
DONE
and just flash latest Magisk then :good:

[HELP] After Updated to MIUI 12.5.1 Flashed TWRP and Magisk >> Resulted Bootloop

Buddies, please urgent help. I flashed V12.5.1.0.RJKMIXM without problem and it was working. I had lost twrp and magisk and thought it won't be a problem to flash them back. By a silly mind I flashed twrp and magisk 21.4.zip again. Now The phone doesn't boot and bootloop after MIUI screen. I have very important data on my phone and I can't see data partition. From twrp, When I click select storage, internal Storage (0.00 MB) seems 0 MB. I never clicked on wipe data option after flashing magisk. I only wiped dalvik and cache.
How can I save my data? It seems there is no fastboot rom to flash. I am downloading recovery ROM again to give it a try. I hope it saves me. Please give me suggestions if you have any.
thanks beforehand... :'(

Yes as you said all twrp versions are the same. It is due to A11. I will try to root the device with boot.img.
I need root for backing up apps with swift backup app. I also need it for some apps.

I realized that I can see internal storage data without formatting the phone. I just changed TWRP from ManuelBlanco's to LR Team's via fastboot and the internal storage became visible. I think this is easier than formatting the whole phone every time changing ROM.
However Magisk pathched boot.img doesn't work. Phone bootloops with that boot. I reflashed original boot.img I don't know why Magisk doesn't work properly...
