I have been trying unsucessfully tryiing to install Havoc OS on my phone for 2 days now and I believe the common theme seems to be TWRP.
I have tried to install different versions of Havoc, and then other Roms too and all fail in the same place.
There is no error code.
I have also tried to install different versions of TWRP going from 3.4.0.0 to 3.3.1.79 to 3.3.1.70 and none of these work
The steps are not complex and I have followed them to the letter
the bootloader is unlocked and magisk got installed although not needed for this part.
I also tried to install the rom via USB OTG and didnt work
please assist I am having so many issues with stock OS that i would like to try something else
TIA Bart
This can be closed I found it a much older version on the TWRP site itself and that actually allowed me to to flash the ROM

Hello XDA Developers
I have been trying to flash a custom rom on my Google Pixel which is running Android Oreo and I have gotten as far as unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP. How ever when I attempt to flash any zip file it just says error installing zip and I have no idea what's going on. TWRP sometimes even has trouble mounting the proper partitions so it's a bit of a hit and miss. Id really like to install a custom ROM. I thought maybe it was a bad zip file but I have tried several different ROMs and they all throw up the same error.
Update: Okay I have figured out that installing newer versions of TWRP doesn't work with some of the ROMs and it's better to use the older versions but you have to figure out which one that is if they don't tell you. I was able to successfully install a custom ROM.
Dunno if this advice is any good but don't set a pin code or password on the phone leave it unlocked it's easier for TWRP to read the partitions that way.
Currently using TWRP 3.2.3-1 on my Pixel (sailfish). Followed this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/slota-b-how-to-flash-roms-magisk-kernel-t3754175
I'm aware it's for the XL, but I was hoping it might work for the regular pixel. It didn't. I rebooted after flashing Resurrection Remix Oreo and OpenGApps, didn't get that error from TWRP saying there's no OS installed like I usually do, so I figured it had worked. Nope. Bootlooped immediately after.
Does anyone have any solutions or other guides to flashing ROMs on the Sailfish?
Have you tried flashing any of the custom ROMs in the Pixel specific forum, following the instructions given there?
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.

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

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.

Yeah, but I was just saying how they should probably reflash TWRP instead of how TWRP's site says to, which doesn't work

I know, but TWRP can be installed with Android 13 custom roms according to the TWRP thread.
Every time i try to flash bliss rom or crdroid for example it wont boot to the next step aka fastbootd step i think its stuck after the first flashing part i have tried multiple firmweres and multiple Platform Tools as different computers. PLEASE HELP ME!
Is it just these two ROMS?
What version of firmware are you currently on? Are you on the correct one for the custom ROM?
What version of platform-tools are you using? Version 33.0.3. is current working one.
Are you using Android Flash Tool, Pixel Flasher, or command line?
Do you see what I'm getting at?
Thank you so much for your reply.
Those that i have tested is Crdroid Bliss Stagos Sparkos and ricedroid.
All is tested to be installd with command line beacuse pixel flasher i couldnt get to work and android flash tool i only use for flasing stock to try again.
33.0.1 beacuse that is what everybody is saying to use.
The firmwere i have tried to install on is february beacuse the changelogs for the roms says februari updates but i have tried with the on before and the one after also with no succes.

You might try 33.0.3 -- although I wonder if the version differences is negligible; but it is the latest version that did not have bugs before r34.
I don't know to flash custom ROMs or anything -- so I don't know if what I'm suggesting is even possible -- but if you know what you need to flash, you should be able to boot into fastbootd mode and individually flash what you want, right? Unless it's something like the flash-all script in Full Factories and all of that is automated....but then again, even in that, it's theoretically possible to enter fastbootd mode and manually flash all the .img's that flash-all does in that mode....
