unable to install twrp over 3.1.1.1 on mi4c (trying to go from android 7.1 to 8 or 9)

Hey everyone,
i usually don't post questions but i've been on pretty much every forum the web has to offer and am still stuck so i'll try my luck here.
i'm currently running lineage 7.1 on my mi4c, i've used another phone for a while but now that my mi4c has a new battery i wanted to start using it again, is also decided this would be the time to update it to android oreo or pie, this however seems to be impossible.
i can only use twrp up to 3.1.1.1, all higher (and unofficial versions) will not boot via fastboot 'dtb not found' or when flashed via older twrp will freeze on boot screen.
whenever i try to install a new rom it tells me 'error code 7', when i remove the 'assert' lines in the update it gives me 'error code 6'
my device is unlocked, i have checked this in fastboot.
do i have to install miui again before installing another rom? do i have to go back to the standard recovery? i'm currently running out of ideas and hope you guys might be able to help me. maybe i'm overlooking something simple.
kind regards,
Monstreys

Hi! I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but I was about to start a similar thread.
I try to do exactly what you are doing. I want to install LineageOS 16, unofficial ROM.
For this you need a newer TWRP, like 3.2.3.0, but it doesn't work 'dtb not found' like you said. I found out that this doesn't work because you need to have nougat bootloader. Most probably you have lollipop bootloader like I have, and thats why newer versions of TWRP are not working. I think the only way to update your bootloader to a nougat one is to flash the latest MIUI ROM. But, unfortunately, when you do that the bootloader gets locked, and I can't unlock it via MiUnlock due to Error:20091 when I try to link the phone to the Mi account. In MiUnlock it gives me the "this account cannot unlock the phone" or something like that.
Now I removed the "assert" lines from my rom and flashed it without the error 7 or 6. Some error still apears, but it also apears when I flash LineageOS 14.1, and that version is working even with those 2 errors I can't remember during flash.
After I flashed LineageOS, I flashed gapps and then superSU, and now my mi4c is stuck on mi logo for about 20 minutes, and I think it will remain that way.
So, there are 2 things we need to solve. We need to find a way to install latest MIUI without relocking the bootloader because I can't unlock it via MiUnlock, or to find out why after I flashed LineageOS 16 it gets stuck on MI logo.

I think I found the solution. Do exactly what this guy is doing here and it might work.

I followed that guy instructions and I managed to install TWRP 3.2.3.0 and LineageOS 16, and it booted. Now I am at the setup part but it has very big lag...

My MI4C has been successfully flushed into lineage-17.1-20200220-UNOFFICIAL-libra.zip. It has been updated on TWRP 3.1.1 and keeps reporting error 7, and then abandoned TWRP3.1.1 and flashed into OrangeFox-R10.0-1-Stable-libra.zip After brushing libra-aqua_firmware_7.2.9.zip on this REC, you can flash lineage-17.1. I do n’t think it will be impossible to refresh because of partition problems. If you only need to upgrade lineage-17.1, you can refer to this method.:good::good:（Translation is not easy to use）

There is a 3.2.x around. If you don't want to bother go in the zip, /META-INF/com/google/android/ and delete the first lines (the ones starting with "assert") from updater-script, save and flash again.

Oneplus 7 Pro OxygenOS 10.0.1GM21AA TWRP 0MB can't mount data

Hello,
today I got the official Android Q Update for my Oneplus 7 Pro.
Since my phone was rooted, I downloaded the whole update, let it install and didn't reboot.
Then I installed Magisk over the Magisk app to the other partition.
After that I flashed TWRP as module via Magisk and flashed Magisk.zip again via Magisk.
Then I rebooted my phone and it was rooted as expected. The problem is, my TWRP has no access to my sdcard.
A week ago I installed already the OxygenOS 10.0.0 for testing purposes and had the same problem. I didn't focused on the TWRP problem because I went back the same day to OxygenOS 9. Since I have now the official OxygenOS 10 I would prefer a working TWRP.
Any possibilities to get TWRP working or do we have to wait until TWRP rolls out an update?
I read severel posts of people who got TWRP running but these are from the Beta and I am not shure if running only means that TWRP is on the phone even if it can't acces the sdcard.
Thank you very much.

The unofficial twrp 70 works well for me. Just search in the forum.

[solved] Reboot to twrp when installing latest lineage16

Hello
Strange think for me, maybe not for you
I switch from carbon 8 and came back to lineage 16.
I'm not able to achieved installation with latest lineage 16, lineage microG or lineage17. Flashing the new rom works well, but after lineage home screen, the phone reboot to recovery.
With an lineage16 old version from 03/2019,install is ok and phone boot well.
I've suspected an old twrp version, but I'm on 3.3.1.0.
Any idea ?
thank you

it's the same with an old twrp version 3.2.

Ok, solved. You shouldn't install twrp as an app before rebooting to new os version.

oneplus 7 Pro , trying to update to Android 10

I had a oneplus 6 and that updated to android 10 a while ago.
Now I recieved a oneplus 7 pro. But the problem is it will not update to android 10.
Tried a system update check, Said up to date.
Contacted oneplus they mentioned the local file upgrade
Downloaded that ZIP and tried again, it tells me system update installation failed.
I am rooted and have TWRP installed as well as magisk.
Considered flashing from TWRP, but since it is an official system update not sure how that would work.
Is this my best option or anyone have an idea on why it fails.?
Tried different suggestions, nothing seemed to work. Did not try to delete cache yet.

Hi
Did u try Tool All-in-one? Marvellous tool!

Updater didnt work, but ended up booting from local updater after the file was downloaded.
Then I ended up doing local update with the update from oneplus latest.
Now I am working on redoing TWRP. It is sticking on fastboot mode after doing a fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-4-guacamole.img
Just hope I didnt mess something up when I did the TWRP Magisk A/B retention script.
May try a different TWRP boot img

Newest TWRP worked fine.
ReInstalled Magisk.
All Data and apps are good.
Few minor issues but nothing to serious.
Thanks for all your help !!

My story and a couple of questions

Hi All,
I have a new-to-me Oneplus 7 Pro. I have been trying to get Lineage with MicroG running. Well it has been quite the adventure and I have it to the point where I have Lineage running fine, and go to reflash TWRP and have bricked the phone, which takes a bit of time to get back to the point of having Linage running again. Specifics:
Lineage version: lineage-19.1-20221219-microG-guacamole.zip
TWRP Versions: I have found that twrp-3.6.1_11-0-guacamole.img works since my phone is at Android 11.
My questions are:
Are TWRP versions tied to Android versions?
When I am trying to get the last version of TWRP installed I have tried 2 approaches:
fastboot flash recovery
fastboot flash boot
Neither worked, phone always ends up bricked. I have used:
TWRP-3.5.1-guacamole-Nebrassy-3.img
twrp-3.6.1_11-0-guacamole.img
twrp-3.6.2_11-0-guacamole.img
I also have tried to boot the images 1st using: fastboot boot twrp-3.6.1_11-0-guacamole.img
and that bricks things.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Ray

If you look at the official installation page for your phone, you will see that Lineage OS 20 and 19.1 are supported. So you should reinstall Lineage OS 18.1 again, and then follow the steps on this page. Don't bother reinstalling GAPPS until after you upgrade it.
If for whatever reason you don't want an Android version higher than 11, let me know.

I specifically don't want GAPPS or anything remotely Google related. I had tried OS 20 and found that I had a problem installing apps - probably user error, but I don't need the latest and greatest. I am currently at Android 11.
I will read through the instructions, although the number of tutorials I have gone through is craze.
Can you tell me what the relationship between TWRP and Android version is, and are you able to sus out what I did wrong with my efforts to get TWRP loaded over the lineage 19 version I was using?
Thanks
Ray

So I guess you don't want GAPPS, just MicroG. Definitely read through the instructions I gave you, as they are the official installation and upgrade instructions.
I would recommend installing Lineage OS 20, because it is the version that is being maintained right now.
I will attempt to guide you through the steps, but I need to know what your situation is right now: Is your bootloader unlocked? What OS do you have installed right now? What recovery are you using? etc.

I appreciate your help. Currently I am looking at a freshly updated phone with Android 11, and Oxygen 11.0.9.1.GM21AA.
The phone is a GM1917
Bootloader is unlocked and I am in developer mode. I have adb and fastboot loaded on my computer. I also have a working version of msm as I have bricked this thing 6 or 7 times...
Several times now, I have done the following:
Install TWRP
Install Lineage
Try and reflash TWRP <-- consistently fails at this point, gets stuck in a boot loop in the bootloader screen
Thanks

"Try and reflash TWRP" what do you mean, update the OS over TWRP?

I mean trying to re-install TWRP after installing Lineage

OK. Can you try following the installation instructions and skip the unlock bootloader step? Do so at your own risk, because the steps say you have to be on Android 12 first. If you do follow them, just make sure you follow them very carefully.

To my knowledge the guides that are provided on the TWRP site don't work for Android 12 and 13. From what I've heard, you have to root your phone and then install TWRP through Magisk.

I know, but TWRP can be installed with Android 13 custom roms according to the TWRP thread.
