I have problema with the incryptation
I am able to flash twrp and reboot but in twrp it wont show any folder trees or open the internal storage.
I cannot install anything from twrp but i did get my otg cable to work after formatting a usb stick and putting my magisk zip on the usb and flashing through otg.
I am also unable to get twrp settings to stay put.
After making my settings like 24 h clock and time zone, after every reboot the settings are gone.
Could you mod that Recovery to support flash Project Treble?

Is this in the wrong forum - or does the post just need an update? Links are for crosshatch.
Also, step c: "This Guide is not for use with the Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 3a, or Pixel 3a XL phones."
Yes, I can figure out the point of the post and thank you for the info, but it may confuse some others along the way.
*This is xda after all - assuming people will actually read the filename before they flash is a generous assumption to make.

If someone flashes anything on their device without doing a little research and reading, then they deserve what they get.

This is definitely the wrong forum for that guide.
If someone is looking for an accurate guide on how to do this, I created a thread that walks you through how to root with Magisk as well as take an OTA or sideload an OTA. I used it to sideload Android 10 and reroot using Magsik.
The guide is in the 3a forum, but all the links take you to images for all Pixel phones and isn't 3a specific. You just need to download the Bonito versions of factory images and OTA images.

Oh, I absolutely agree. But I have seen people blindly flash the wrong file and then try and blame the OP(even though it's clearly their fault).
It's pure stupid...& it's also pure XDA
Just trying to save headaches for OP:good:
elementalx KERNEL works on this final version...only problem with mine is the sensors not working.

If something missing or doesn't work, tell me
Thanks ever so much @DoggyStar !!!
Everything works perfectly!
I'm having a driver problem. The Preloader driver seems to be working, but the MediaTek DA USB VCOM Port driver gives Code 10 and shows a small yellow triangle with and exclamation mark. SP MDT tool only finds one COM port out of the two. I've tried installing MediaTek VCOM port drivers from several sources. What drivers you had a success with? @DoggyStar @fabioganga
Woohooo Im a year or two late but it worked for me flawlessly. Thanks.
Good for you
Sharing this guide seems quite late but since xda red magic threads taught me a lot about the rooting and corrupted stuffs, I think it would not hurt to return something back to this community.
This is my attempt to compile people's responses that helped other people here which are scattered around forums.
Myself included also tinkered a lot on this device and literally go back here on this guide to lessen headaches.
EDIT: Tested a lot of times with V5.08 and V5.09 Android R versions
REMINDER: Tested on Android 9, no clues yet on Android 10 and 11
WHEN TO USE?
Use this guide to restore your phone to boot in Android OS again normally without wiping data, retaining your apps, games intact
Requirements:
- Windows computer. NOTE: Done this using Windows 10, so I'm not exactly sure if latest ADB works the same on Windows 7.
- Nubia Red Magic 3 or 3S battery charge should be at 50% above at least.
- You need a USB cable to connect your phone to PC. XDA Users reported better with USB 2.0 port
NOTE: Can be used also on 3S. I just don't have 3S so I haven't tested it on actual 3S.
Download latest the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) from Android Developers site.
1.) Go to https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
2.) Click Download SDK Platform-Tools for Windows.
3.) Click the checkbox beside 'I have read and agree with the above terms and conditions'
and click DOWNLOAD ANDROID SDK PLATFORM-TOOLS FOR WINDOWS
*Current version as of December 12, 2020
platform-tools_r30.0.5-windows.zip
4.) Create a folder in C:\ Drive and name it ADB. Extract platform-tools_rxx.x.x-windows.zip inside ADB folder.
*NOTE: rxx.x.x on platform-tools_rxx.x.x-windows depends on the current version available on Android Developers site.
5.) On your Windows desktop, press the Window logo button on your keyboard, type 'cmd'. Right-click on Command Prompt and click Run as administrator.
7.) On command prompt, type 'cd c:\ADB' and press Enter. *type without quotes *DO NOT CLOSE Command prompt!
8.) Connect your Nubia Red Magic 3 or 3S to a USB 2.0 port.
9.) Wait for Windows to install drivers of your phone. If a CD Drive showed up on "This PC / My Computer", double-click on it and install the driver.
10.) Type 'adb reboot bootloader' and press Enter. *type without quotes
11.) Go back to your command prompt. Type 'fastboot devices'. It should show your phone's serial number and a 'fastboot' word. This means your PC can properly communicate with your Nubia Red Magic 3. *DO NOT CLOSE Command prompt!
12.) Get your ROM ready. Download from these official links if you haven't already.
IMPORTANT: Try to remember the specific version of ROM your Red Magic has.
Because for example if the currently installed is Android 11 (R) but you used the lower version say Android 10 or 9, flashing will proceed but it will not boot to Android OS

EDIT: Tested a lot of times with V5.08 and V5.09 Android R versions
REMINDER: Tested on Android 9, no clues yet on Android 10 and 11
WHEN TO USE?
Use this guide to restore your phone to boot in Android OS again normally without wiping data, retaining your apps, games intact
Requirements:
- Windows computer. NOTE: Done this using Windows 10, so I'm not exactly sure if latest ADB works the same on Windows 7.
- Nubia Red Magic 3 or 3S battery charge should be at 50% above at least.
- You need a USB cable to connect your phone to PC. XDA Users reported better with USB 2.0 port
NOTE: Can be used also on 3S. I just don't have 3S so I haven't tested it on actual 3S.
Download latest the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) from Android Developers site.
1.) Go to https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
2.) Click Download SDK Platform-Tools for Windows.
3.) Click the checkbox beside 'I have read and agree with the above terms and conditions'
and click DOWNLOAD ANDROID SDK PLATFORM-TOOLS FOR WINDOWS
*Current version as of December 12, 2020
platform-tools_r30.0.5-windows.zip
4.) Create a folder in C:\ Drive and name it ADB. Extract platform-tools_rxx.x.x-windows.zip inside ADB folder.
*NOTE: rxx.x.x on platform-tools_rxx.x.x-windows depends on the current version available on Android Developers site.
5.) On your Windows desktop, press the Window logo button on your keyboard, type 'cmd'. Right-click on Command Prompt and click Run as administrator.
7.) On command prompt, type 'cd c:\ADB' and press Enter. *type without quotes *DO NOT CLOSE Command prompt!
8.) Connect your Nubia Red Magic 3 or 3S to a USB 2.0 port.
9.) Wait for Windows to install drivers of your phone. If a CD Drive showed up on "This PC / My Computer", double-click on it and install the driver.
10.) Type 'adb reboot bootloader' and press Enter. *type without quotes
11.) Go back to your command prompt. Type 'fastboot devices'. It should show your phone's serial number and a 'fastboot' word. This means your PC can properly communicate with your Nubia Red Magic 3. *DO NOT CLOSE Command prompt!
12.) Get your ROM ready. Download from these official links if you haven't already.
IMPORTANT: Try to remember the specific version of ROM your Red Magic has.
Because for example if the currently installed is Android 11 (R) but you used the lower version say Android 10 or 9, flashing will proceed but it will not boot to Android OS

* parameter.img
* boot.img
* recovery.img
* splash.img
* dtbo.img
* vbmeta.img
* NON-HLOS.bin

*Disconnect the USB-C cable from your NRM3/3S
16.) Your phone still on fastboot, press volume down to choose "Reboot to recovery mode" and press power button to confirm.
17.) Your phone should boot to recovery. On the recovery Main Menu, press volume down to choose 'Wipe Data', choose Wipe cache and also User partition.

I think I encountered this problem also when going from Android 11 (V5.11) to Android 10 (V3.34). What worked for me is the tool posted on nubia bbs.
It's on chinese but I put some screenshots on this link to be able to use it.
Red Magic 3 - Mediafire
To use the tool, put your Red Magic 3 on fastboot mode.
How to boot on Fastboot
1.) Turn off your NRM3.
2.) HOLD Volume down and power
3.) Your NRM3 should boot on fastboot
And for google play store, I'm currently using 5.09 and successfully root it with g-apps. Flashing magisk and g-apps is working ong V3.34 and V5.09.
I had problem about less charger mA on 3 charger and cables so strange , so today i did buy another cable and same thing less mA like 100 should be 3000 , so i did use one charger adapter rampow for try , when i did put charger less again but the screen get blocked and reboot , when it restarted i did see that if i put to charger again also with orginal charger and cable will block screen and reboot so i did try to reset and install Europe & Asia: V212 , when did get 100% will show that " Device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot " ,this happen if you put one not original cable or charger i did discovery ,now the problem is if i put the cable on laptop for flash install roms windows will not detected the new hardware of red magic so how can i fix that now

I see you upgraded to Android 11 CN then downgraded to Android 9 again. You need the TWRP from baidu guide regarding downgrading from A11.
Here's the link. Google Drive - TWRP from Baidu
