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.

Error 20 if I'm not wrong, means you are using the wrong gapps package.
Are you using the right one?

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
Hi, how do I install the latest android P on my oneplus 6? I have an unlocked bootloader with twrp installed but not rooted.
Download the P zip via OnePlus forums, flash it through the update section in settings and wipe the phone via recovery. It will wipe TWRP though and replace it with stock recovery.

Download the full version, install in TWRP 3.2.1 and install TWRP immediately afterwards, then back to the TWRP menu and reinstall TWRP.zip again, then restart and enjoy

When u say back to twrp menu you mean after reboot to recovery and then to install twrp.zip or in the same session to install twrp twice?
what are known bugs in DP3?
does snap chat work? as reports say that safety net fails

So that TWRP is not deleted, I recommend to install it again in TWRP menu!
Sure is safe.

Install the stable version of android p now and twrp does work. use bluesparks twrp version found in xda.
But what TWRP? Is the TWRP on the official site working also on Android 9?

Flash through ex kernel manager app
If the kernel uses "any kernel" then go to magisk and flash magisk one more time aswell, reboot.
What your saying is that you can't boot to twrp in any way? Not even with phone off and volume down? If not, reinstall twrp (I recommend blu_spark)

@Pepinow Power off your phone. Hold vol up and power, that will take you to fastboot. From there use the vol keys to show recovery at the top then boot to it. This is of course assuming you flashed the twrp zip when first installing it
Hello,
I was on open beta 6 and I downgraded using the .zip for that by flashing with twrp. Then i flashed twrp again and reboot.
Afther that, the phone doesn't start. It's is starting withe animation of balls circling. All the storage has been deleted. I tried to copy again the rom by adb in the storage on folder sdcard but it doesn't work.
Any idea?
Thanks

Yes I know, but if you dont flash magisk doesn't matter, only you won't have root permisions. My problem is that I can't install the rom.

The process is very simple, I tried it without having Magisk installed.
1. I am not responsible for any damage that may be generated to your smartphone.
2. Download the latest version of the TWRP(only fastboot) file here
https://dl.twrp.me/tissot/
3. Download the latest version of TWRP Installer CosmicDan or a newer version. Then download the latest version of Magisk Installer.
4. Turn off your smartphone and leave it in fastboot mode, then connect it to the PC.
5. Restart your smartphone in TWRP mode using the file downloaded in step 2.
6. Install the TWRP Installer file. After the process is finished install the Magisk Installer file.
7. Reboot and enjoy.
Note: if the process is unsuccessful, change the partition where the files from step 6 will be installed.
Thanks
After the installation of Twrp installer you are suggesting to install Magisk before to boot to system ... Is it right ?
Will have the procedure success using the legacy Twrp installer versus Cosmic Dan one ?
This because I had issue with CosmicDan version using OTG

The hot boot to temporary twrp downloaded with step 2 and used in step 5 uses a TWRP.img
HERE you can download the .zip inside that there the necessary .img (https://github.com/CosmicDan-Androi...t_boot_only-3.2.1-with-Tissot-Manager-2.5.zip)
The above TWRP is different by the Installer one that is a .zip file
HERE you can download the .zip (https://github.com/CosmicDan-Androi...P-Installer-3.2.1-with-Tissot-Manager-2.5.zip)
This second .zip is used AS IS into step 6 and flashed using temporary TWRP
Worked like a charm thanks

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:
