how can i flash zips like gapps - Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers

obviously pixel 4a doesnt have twrp so,
ive tried all the free apps that let you flash zips but they dont work, and adb sideload gapps isnt working. i have rooted with canary magisk.
im stuck

Most roms for this device are packaged with gapps baked in. What are you trying to flash? Maybe if your more specific, someone here can give the assist.

I'm trying to flash the Opengapps pico zip on the resurrection remix nogapps build. My device is rooted with magisk canary, but when I use adb sideload, I get an error. So the zip doesn't install.

What's the error you're getting with adb sideload?

error says signature verification failed, error 21.
if that is not helpful I can try sideload it again and get the exact wording of the error

It's covered in many Pixel 2 and 2 XL threads.
It's an issue with Magisk patching the dtbo image.
It doesn't harm anything.
Magisk Dev will fix it eventually.

FWIW, flashing magisk through twrp worked for me. The manager wont patch dtbo that way, from my experience at least.
If you don't want to install twrp, you can simply boot the img and flash it that way.
thanks I will wait for a patch. thanks to all.

[RECOVERY] HOW TO INSTALL TWRP & MAGISK OOS 5.1.11, OB1 & earlier

Please follow all directions carefully.
There is an excellent unofficial TWRP by @eng.stk at https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/kernel-t3800965 I have installed it successfully from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=27466#downloads using the following method:
This unofficial TWRP by @eng.stk has working haptic, brightness and MTP
If you already have anotherTWRP installed, you can install the new zip from your TWRP but remember if you had Magisk before, to reboot TWRP and flash Magisk again
NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE STOCK OOS 5.1.5 through latest OOS 9, OR ANY OF THE CUSTOM ROMS
NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER
NOTE: I HAVE NOW PERSONALLY TESTED THAT THIS METHOD WORKS IF YOU HAVE OOS 5.1.6 through latest OOS 9
NOTE: FASTBOOT COMMANDS MUST BE INSTALLED AND TESTED ON YOUR PC
NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE MAGISK 17.x ZIP ON YOUR PHONE
*** YOU MUST FOLLOW ALL STEPS EXACTLY ***
Download twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6.img from the above site to your pc
Download twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6.zip from the above site to your phone
Hook phone to pc USB with factory red cable (or other usb-c cable that you have tested)
Reboot phone into bootloader
On your pc, go to the location where you downloaded the twrp image
Type fastboot devices to make sure that you get a response showing your phone and serial number
Type fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6.img
Your phone will boot into twrp YOU WILL PROBABLY BE ASKED TO ENTER YOUR PIN/PATTERN/PASSWORD.
From twrp, install the twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6.zip that you downloaded on your phone
Disconnect your phone from the pc
Reboot twrp back into recovery. You should now be rebooted to the new twrp.
If you had magisk installed, then flash magisk again or you will bootloop back to twrp
For an excellent guide on the A/B slots, check out @iElvis thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-noobs-guide-to-b-partitions-op6-t3816123

Ok so should I follow these same steps if I am on the unofficial twrp with magisk 16.4 already installed?
If I'm installing oos through twrp , do I install the twrp image afterwards to keep TWRP, or do I install the twrp installer, or both?

Awesome, now I am on official twrp. Everything works as it should.
btw, original cable is not necessary to use, I am using wsken magnetic one and everything works.
Would be handy to have all the link in this thread.

My question was in general. If I want to clean flash 515 do I install the image afterwards or the installer zip or both I didn't say nothing about 516

If I'm on stock recovery with magisk 16.4 already, will I have any issues? Is it necessary to flash it again before boot?

You must flash magisk again after installing the official TWRP as in the OP
Sent from my OnePlus6 using XDA Labs
Is there a reason the OP says to specifically flash Magisk version 16.4 (which is a beta version)? I'm running 16.0 (stable) right now and haven't experienced any issues, at least none that I've noticed.

Hey as long as 16.0 is working for you., I see no reason to change. Just make sure you reflash Magisk 16.0 after.
I'm not good at it. I wish someone make youtube video.
FYI, I installed following instructions on TWRP Oneplus6 page. Quick and easy. I'm curious why your instructions require Magisk? It certainly was not required for me. For the record I am not/ was not previously rooted with magisk.
Thanks for the quick guide. Worked like a charm. I am rooted in first attempt. Simple to follow guide. Thanks for putting the guide together.

TWRP: zip verification failure even if zip verification is disabled

Hi,
I have a Fairphone 2 with the default ROM Fairphone Open 19.08.1.
I am trying to install microG. I red that a good way to get microG working is to install it with nanodroid. And I red also that a good way to install nanodroid is to flash it from TWRP.
So i installed TWRP with the TWRP official installer.
I can boot without any problem on TWRP (btw, I downloaded and installed two times 3.3.1-0, but in TWRP it shows 3.1.1-0).
I downloaded NanoDroid-microG-22.4.20190811.zip and NanoDroid-patcher-22.4.20190811.zip the nanodroid download page.
But when I try to flash those two zips I get an error in red that says: "zip verification failed!" even if the option "zip signature verification" is disabled.
What can I do to be able to flash those zips?
Thx

I think you would have better luck getting microG to work if you installed lineageOS for FP2.

Yes, maybe. I will have a look at it, but first I would like to try width FP OS. I have plenty of things configured on my phone and I would like not to have to configure again everything with another OS.
Isn't it strange that TWRP tries to perform a zip verification even if the zip verification is not activated?

There is FP OS and there is FP Open, which are you using?
And no, it isn't unusual. Sometimes the error is because what you are trying to flash is not compatible, it's a safety measure to prevent flashing something that can harm your device.

Everything I'm finding for FP2 TWRP zip signature verification failure applies to LineageOS, I'm not finding anything whatsoever about FP2 Open that applies to TWRP and microG signature failure. This is what leads me to believe that what you are trying to do is not compatible with FP Open and that lineageOS is what you need to be using in order to use what you are trying to use.

Question Flashing Magisk so that it doesn't "unroot" after OS update?

I'm using ArrowOS and after every OTA update, my phone gets unrooted (new boot.img). How do I avoid this?
There seems to be no method officially to address this issue. Follow this link and do as instructed.
You should be posting this in ArrowOS thread.
Anyway, are you using OTA decryption supported recovery?
Magisk require decryption to reinstall itself, if the recovery you are using doesn't prompt you password during OTA, then it isn't decrypting thus magisk will not reinstall itself.

Can you remind me, does twrp prompt you for password during ota? I don't really remember.
personally, I suggest you to use the official orangefox recovery, I'm using that and magisk reinstall itself though I'm using lineage
Lastly, I don't think arrowos has any recovery of their own

It doesn't. I'll try it, thanks.
I haven't actually tried it yet, but when flashing the No Gravity kernel it says something about Magisk was detected, and it says it's doing something so it won't need to be refreshed. Might be worth a try? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...9-02-protonclang.4328217/page-2#post-85600529

I used the recovery from Paranoid, the Pixel Flasher desktop app should work too.
ROM works great tho, my daily driver until QPR2 came out..
QPR2?
none of the recovery i tried worked,but i solved the problem extracting the payload.bin and after that created a zip with all the .imgs + a text file called "android-info.txt" with "require board=bluejay" inside,and then i flashed the zip via fastboot using "fastboot update -w NAMEOFTHEZIP.zip"

I'm about to try this. Will post what happens.
Download the crDroid ROM, pull recovery.img out of it, flash recovery, reboot recovery, then adb sideload this
There's a custom recovery in crdroid's zip
this is what I'm about to try

It works just fine like stock,I know this is unrelated with Bliss but sadly viper4android on this device even with a custom ROM doesn't work (probably because of 32bit drivers of v4a) jamesdsp and Dolby Atmos works
