twrp is available only for ta-1032, sorry about that, you need to wait for someone to port it.

Oh, Ok I can see, I have to wait :/

is there any difference between ta-1028 and ta-1032 in TWRP view ?
it is easy to try just boot into recovery - "fastboot boot <recovery.img>"

i know that ta-1032 is for EU dual sim, ta-1028 is american single sim version but i think that there is no difference in hardware. he can try that command to see is that recovery works @xdrucsix
Steps:
first download twrp if you didn't
rename recovery to recovery.img and move it to platform-tools
open cmd as administrator
type location of platform-tools
boot to fastboot
type command
fastboot boot recovery.img
then you will see does it boot or not. twrp will disappear completely after you exit twrp.

I did every step that you say, nothing happened :/

something should definitely happen
at least show all fastboot.exe output during your tries

link for twrp
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsmTb5aqoY12mDZqDZbPOp47QVMV
when downloaded, copy twrp to folder platform-tools and rename it to recovery.img
to type platform-tools location, type this:
chdir C:/Users/John/Desktop/platform-tools (this is just a example, you need to type your own location of platform-tools)
reboot to recovery
adb reboot recovery
then reboot to bootloader (fastboot) by pressing volume keys.
to flash recovery type this command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then reboot, fastboot reboot
if it didn't worked, use this command just to boot to twrp (you need to do this everytime when you are connected to PC)
fastboot boot recovery.img
To install root, first disable system modification on twrp then flash this zip for root.
This is not the latest version of SuperSU, but newest releases have some problems and crashes. (at least for me). This is last version that works for me.
That is it.

no, you can't have locked bootloader and root, after locking bootloader you need to reflash .nb0 file with OST because locking bootloader don't just remove data, it removes whole ROM.

[GUIDE] Fix device automatically rebooting after few seconds of booting.

If you are having a weird bootloop where the phone just reboots after few seconds of booting like shown here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YcWsWYQVGQ) then you're in the right place, here's how you can fix the issue.
Before proceeding make sure you know your risks as I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war and anything really.
Steps:
1) Download Mi Flash Tool and install it. (For the drivers, skip it if you have installed the drivers already)
2) Download and Install minimal ADB and Fastboot Tool, persist.img and temporary twrp.img links will be below.
3) Copy the persist.img to your internal storage.
4) Copy the recoveryxx.img to same folder where you've saved the minimal ADB/Fastboot tool.
4) Goto the minimal adb fastboot tool folder where you had put the recoveryxx.img
5) Open cmdhere.exe
6) Put your phone in fastboot mode (Volume - and Power)
7) Type the following commands:
- fastboot devices (you should something like this:
Fastboot dsad5454sfs, If not, re-install the the fastboot drivers correctly. )
- fastboot oem unlock (This is just for unlocking the bootloader you can just skip it if you have unlocked bootloader.)
- fastboot boot recoveryxx.img *(basically the filename of the image file.)
Now you will boot to the temporary twrp and once you're there follow these steps:
8) Open Terminal in TWRP Custom Recovery (go to “Advanced” > “Terminal”).
9) Type the following command:
- dd if=/sdcard/persist.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27
10) Go to reboot and select system and that's it!
Voila!

Try other builds then, that occurs if the size of persist.img is different than what your partition allows. For most the August one should work.

Can I re-lock bootloader?
Hi,
Flashing the persist.img seems to have resolved the issue for me also, once I have completed the steps in the guide can I re-lock the bootloader?
I assume as we didn't flash TWRP and only booted into it temporarily should be fine?
Thanks

Root OOS 5.1.9 patched boot.img

Hi people,
Here can you you get the patched boot.img for 5.1.9 so that you can fastboot from the boot.img and then root your device in cmd.
Patched and normal boot.img can be downloaded from the attachments
After the update you need to boot your phone into bootloader then then type fastboot boot patched_boot.img and when it the phone boots then install magisk manager on the phone and then press install and then directly (recommend) option.
update download links: https://www74.zippyshare.com/v/dxGCgGju/file.html
https://wsi.li/1U5TP90Cyt26

Great , works perfectly. Thank you

thanks buddy really appreciate the effort just updated.
Gonna test the camera tomorrow when it's daylight haha

Just patched with your file, worked like a charm! Thanks a lot for the effort!!!

No problem people and all you have to do is use a bin extractor to get all the files from the update and then let magisk patch the boot.img so that you get a nice patched fastboot ?

sry but, what's the advantage?
need unlocked bootloader, yes?

Can you install this from twrp? Reason I ask is because I like to restore the stock boot image before installing a custom kernel, and this would save a step for me.

Thanks for posting this. This got me past accidentally flashing twrp directly to the boot partition after taking the latest OTA.

Hi, I don't know what I'm doing wrong :
My OEM Bootloader is unlocked
I reboot on fastboot mode
I connect the phone to my PC
I launch the PowerShell window from the folder where I have downloaded the boot.img and patched_boot.img
I check if my phone is here : fastboot devices (OK)
I launch the first command : fastboot boot.img => then the phone reboot "normally"
I power off the phone
I boot on fastboot mode
I launch the second command : fastboot patched_boot_img => the the phone reboot "normally"
And no root at the end... What am I doing wrong ?

[Guide] How to Install TWRP & Root Essential PH-1(Method 2)

How to Install TWRP Recovery & Root Essential PH-1 (Windows/Mac/Linux)​​​
This is an alternate method on how install TWRP. This one might give you a better understanding of slots.
Another method can be found at below link. Use whatever is easier for you.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/how-to/guide-rooting-essential-ph-1-magisk-t3701976
Warning 1: If you can't do fastboot commands, do a flash all, root your device or flash TWRP/ROM, please do not ask for help here. If you cannot flash all back to stock, please stay stock for everyone's sake.
Warning 2: You might loose all your data. Make sure to backup your data.
Code:
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
Pre-Requisites
Make sure you have unlocked the bootloader.
Download and Install drivers (Windows) :- https://storage.googleapis.com/essential-static/Essential-PH1-WindowsDrivers.exe
Make sure to remove pin/password/pattern etc. Even though TWRP support decryption I personally suggest you remove it and can add it back later.
Make sure you are stock. If you are rooted, please install stock boot.img.
How to Boot into fastboot/bootloader mode
1. Reboot phone, and keep volume down pressed while device is rebooting until you see bootloader mode screen.
2. While phone is off, press volume down and then press power button. Keep holding both until you see bootloader mode screen.
How to Install
Steps
1. Download all the files listed in downloads section and place them inside one folder say ph-1.
2. Unzip fastboot and adb zip file (platform-tools). Rename twrp image file to twrp-mata.img. move twrp img file to platform-tools folder.
3. Connect phone to computer and copy below files to internal memory.
* TWRP Installer Zip
* Magisk Zip
Reboot device into bootloader mode.
4. Using command prompt/terminal navigate to folder where fastboot is.
Command Prompt
Code:
fastboot devices
Mac/Linux/Powershell
Code:
./fastboot devices
Make sure device is detected in fastboot mode.
5. Find current slot. Note this down some where.
Command Prompt
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
Mac/Linux/Powershell
Code:
./fastboot getvar current-slot
6. If you get current slot as
* A - we will flash twrp to slot B
* B - we will flash twrp to slot A
7. Flash TWRP to slot opposite of what we found out in Step 5.
Command Prompt
Code:
fastboot flash boot_slot twrp-mata.img
Mac/Linux/Powershell
Code:
./fastboot flash boot_slot twrp-mata.img
So, if your current slot was a, you will use boot_b above. If current slot was b, you will use boot_a above.
8. Set slot where we flashed TWRP as active.
Command Prompt
Code:
fastboot --set-active=slot
Mac/Linux/Powershell
Code:
./fastboot --set-active=slot
So, if your current slot was a, you will use --set-active=b above. If current slot was b, you will use --set-active=a above.
9. Use volume rockers till you see recovery option. Then press power button to select. You should now boot into TWRP.
If the touchscreen doesn't function, skip to instructions in post 2 below.
Now, flash TWRP installer zip file.
Once zip is flashed and has patched both slots. Go back to home screen.
Reboot.
On this screen select the slot which we had noted down in step 5.
Then reboot into system. You should now boot into Android.
10. To root. Boot back into bootloader mode. Go into TWRP recovery. Flash magisk zip. reboot.
Support :
1) Search. Search, search, search. If you make the effort of reading atleast 5 pages back, most if not all your questions will be answered. I personally, will ignore any questions, if I know they have been answered in the last 5 pages. Not being rude, but please read.
2) If you can't find answers in last 5 pages, ask here, be respectful and have a good time.

Common Issues
Thanks to @starcms for helping with the instructions.
No touch in TWRP in Step 9.
Keep your phone connected to computer. Open command prompt/terminal/powershell.
Now we are going to install TWRP installer zip.
Command Pormpt
Code:
adb shell twrp install path/to/zip
So, let's say you have twrp installer zip (named
twrp-installer-mata-3.2.3-0.zip) in root of internal memory.
Code:
adb shell twrp install /sdcard/
twrp-installer-mata-3.2.3-0.zip
This should flash TWRP to both slots. Now, you can reboot using
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
and go back into TWRP. Check if touch is working and then set your slot to one noted in step 5.
If touch is not working use fastboot (step 8) to change the slot to that noted in Step 5..
Now boot back into TWRP using volume rockers and proceed to Step 10 (flashing Magisk zip)
Terminal/Powershell users please add ./ before the adb.

Nice write-up. I would also maybe add (to your discretion ofc) that if you flash the latest P BTS, it flashes to both slots, making touch unusable in twrp and will need to follow your addendum.

Done. Thanks for the advice :highfive:

Uh I...have a new problem. I use "adb shell twrp install" to install twrp-installer-mata-3.2.3-0.zip and it seem to work...but later I flash the stockboot and flash magisk. Than I cant boot into the system. It reboot itself to the stock recovery when it finished booted. And told me cant start up the system and two options down below "try again" "factory reset"
Is my stockboot file is incorrect?

after installing twrp zip, if you instal stock boot or new kernel it will remove twrp.
you have to flash twrp zip after installing new kernel.
to root, boot into android once after instalinh twrp zip.
then boot back into twrp, and flash magisk zip.

I am pretty close it. Now i have my twrp install in one slot and the system can boot from another slot but uh..
do I need to flash stock boot before I flash magisk?
cus now I still cant boot the system from twrp..

I need to change the slot if i want to boot the system. Is that normal?

do I need to flash stock boot before I flash magisk?
cus now I still cant boot the system from twrp..
the official website said "use the devices as normal" hmm..
I need to change the slot if i want to boot the system. Is that normal?

NO you don't need to flash stock boot to instal Magisk.
yes, you need to change slot to boot system.
all of this is mentioned in first post.

i have a question, is there a way to just boot into TWRP to just flash magisk? without flashing TWRP itself? i want to recive OTAs still and all i want is just magisk installed, i tried the ,ethod of patching the boot.img but that was a huge fail please help!!!

Ahhhh ok,
I figured out the patched boot image method, although when I tried to make my own patched boot IMG, it didn't work, I found a Reddit thread where someone had done it, I used theirs and it worked....although the command was supposed to be fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img and Everytime I did that it sent it to B, but failed on the write, they yelled at me saying that's the command and it should work lol, but I had to actually put fastboot flash boot_b patched_boot.img....the damn A/B partition stuff confuses me Alot lol

sometimes older fastboot versions dont work well with Essential.
for ab slots, if you are want to flash magisk pre-rooted boot.img
just do
fastboot gervar current-slot (say you get a)
and then flash boot.img to current slot.
fastboot flash boot_a nameofboot.img

essential's driver package for windows doesnt require _a,_b unless you are being specific
fastboot flash boot whatever will work and flash to the current slot if your using essentials (which is an older version) if your using a newer version from google or minimal, it gives the __a or b error trying to append an extra underscore

Never seen a phone so finicky. I've also got the holy Grail cable that I don't let out of my sight. I've often wondered what makes it so finicky, and I come from a long line of HTC and motos

Honor 6x BLN-L21C10B131 mode error

Hi, I think I flashed a wrong recovery on the phone and now it's in a loop and shows this message the restart again .
there is no recovery or system installed I tried a lot of methods (dload - Multi-Tool 8 - adb fastboot ....) to install a recovery and boot and nothing did work.
the phone boots only in fastboot mode when I press volume -
ERROR MODE
Attention!
please update system again
(picture of android robot thingy)
Error!
Func NO:11 (recovery image)
Error NO:2 (load failed!)
I don't understand because sometimes it shows in cmd that all was successfully installed but when I try to boot into the recovery nothing happens!
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated ,thanks.
PS: Latest version was installed: a custom ROM OREO 8.0

Nevermind, I've fixed it.
Thanks anyway.

Hi bro, can you tell me please how did your phone get broken?
What was the last firmware installed on the phone before it broke?
And is your phone the same edition as the one described above?

Ok so you have the Indian branding.
The point is to get a recovery on the phone and to do that after a phone break like that is to first flash a kernel. With Oreo you need to to use a bit different commands than other android versions however you need to have a kernel.img for your phone edition (you can find one in Internet or extract it from the oreo version of your phone edition and once you have it boot into fastboot and run adb fastboot on your pc as administrator then type the following commands :
1- fastboot flash kernel (here you put the directory location of where you have the kernel.img file FOR EXAMPLE: "C:\downloads\kernel.img")
2- fastboot flash ramdisk (here you put the directory location again of where you have the kernel.img file FOR EXAMPLE: "C:\downloads\kernel.img")
3- fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk (here you put the directory location of where you have the recovery_ramdisk.img file FOR EXAMPLE: "C:\downloads\recovery_ramdisk.img") to download the TWRP
Remember to have the right imgs of the kernel and the recovery for you phone and the android version which is oreo in your case.
You should get no errors in cmd during the the process and you should be able to boot into recovery after accomplishing all that steps successfully.
Try this and tell me how it worked out for you.
