Can I just Flash TWRP (already unlocked, rooted with Magisk installed)

I cannot find anything on point to this direct question (all the guides/forums seem to have you flashing/installing TWRP first then installing Magisk).
I am already unlocked and installed Magisk/rooted with Magisk SU by using the Magisk Manager method with stock recovery.
At this point can I just flash/install TWRP to have a custom recovery without issue? I ask because I want to try out J to the 4n's Active Edge plus but want to make a backup first before tinkering with it. Loved his stuff as a long HTC viper guy.
Thanks in advance.

I cannot find the specific thread (if I do find it I will update) but from what I recall you will need to flash an unpatched boot img and then flash twrp. After that you can reinstall Magisk. I know TWRP modifies the boot so that will interfere with Magisk. I hope this was helpful.

Extremely helpful! Sounds like I would boot loop the phone if I just flashed TWRP in my current configuration.
I'll uninstall magisk, reboot, then flash the stock boot.img and then follow the twrp/magisk install directions.
Much appreciated!

Here's what I did:
1) Boot twrp img file from fastboot
2) Flash the latest twrp zip in twrp. DON'T REBOOT. If you are going to use a custom kernel, you must do step 3 below. Don't later reboot and flash a custom kernel or you can run into bootloader signature issue. If you ARE NOT going to use a custom kernel, jump to step 4.
3) Flash your custom kernel.
4) Flash the latest Magisk zip to root again
5) Reboot.
Enjoy

Which version of TWRP bluespark?

I just currently got the latest ota and let it install and I installed magisk from the manager by choosing to install to inactive partition after ota. That worked flawlessly and was able to keep root. But I lost TWRP of course. I was using the official TWRP. I've been noticing everyone going to TWRP bluespark recovery. But which one do I download??? From what I understand there is a version for oos android 8 Oreo and a version for oos android 9 pie. I'm on official oos pie. So which one do I need?

Just take the latest official TWRP and you are fine. Trust me.

Thank you. But still would like to know if I decide to use bluespark version.

Sure. If you want to use Blu Spark TWRP use this one twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6
IMG and zip files are here https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=27466#downloads
You can use TWRP official or Blu Spark TWRP. What ever you like. Blu Spark is recommended for people coming from oos beta to stable

May I ask what the difference is?

Just to add a note to you for next ota.
After ota is installed go to magisk manager
Press download
Search for twrp a/b
Install (don't reboot)
Now go to main screen and press install
Choose to inactive slot (after ota)
This way you keep both twrp and root
Happy flashing

To be honest I don't know the differences between both.

TWRP on Android 10

After recently bricking my Oneplus 6 by trying to flash the latest TWRP on the latest Android 10 OTA from Oxygen Updater, I found a post from official TWRP explaining how root with a10 will take a while to implement due to changes that Google has made to their partitions.
So I guess for anyone trying this out on their own, be warned. You will probably end up bricking your device like I did and will probably end up having a bad time.
Please correct me if i'm wrong though, peace!
Edit: can confirm fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-11-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img from the other popular post is working!

If you already have a working TWRP on OOS 9 you should be fine as long as you flash a working TWRP afterwards. Blu_spark TWRP 9.101 is compatible (please not 9.101 no earlier version will work).
Also don't use Magisk 20 only 20.1.
There is already a pre-patched version out there. You can fastboot flash it (as fastboot boot doesn't work). An easier way (without a pre-patched version) is currently being worked one as you pointed out already

just updated to a10
boot into twrp, flash new bluspark twrp
flash FULL ota a10 image
reflash twrp
reboot into twrp
boot into system
boot back to twrp
install magisk 20.1
a10, twrp and root working

Which build did u use mate? R108 is not working with android 9, I tried flashing it using my older installed twrp.
It says unsupported android version. And in github r108 says only for android 10.

r108 is the kernel not twrp
https://github.com/engstk/android_device_oneplus_enchilada/releases/tag/v9.107

I can confirm that this is working for me. I successfully upgraded from Android 9, Oxygen OS 9.0.9 to Android 10, Oxygen OS 10. Steps that I followed :
1) Flashed new twrp from link in the above post by akri1337 using my previously installed twrp : bluspark 9.85.
2) Flashed Oxygen OS 10 full update and added to queue latest bluspark twrp which I flashed in step one as it would be overwritten by flashing the full OTA update.
3) Rebooted into recovery again to switch to active slot.
4) Flashed Magisk 20.2 to regain root.
This process successfully upgraded my Oneplus 6 without any data loss.
Please note that I disabled all magisk modules just to be safe before starting the upgrade process but didn't uninstall magisk. I was on Magisk 20.2 earlier.
Hope this helps everyone.

Which magisk? Ver 20.1 ?

Why is it that I get an error when trying to flash the full OTA update using TWRP? Something about error 7 and not have a digest file. Is there a full OTA update file that everyone is using? I tried the signed full zip from here on XDA and the one from Oxygen Updater. I get the same error with both.

Still confused as to how everyone else can flash these zip files through TWRP and I cannot.
I'm currently Magisk rooted and have TWRP installed. Will I lose root and TWRP when updating through the local upgrade method?

Yes, you will need to flash twrp with adb and going through the hole process of installing twrp and magisk, but for me its not worked well, after first boot to Android Q with magisk 20.1 and granting some apps root access when I rebooted the phone its not booting to system and going to bootloader, I think its related to some problem with magisk 20.1.

OnePlus 7 pro oos 11 beta 1 TWRP and root

Hello everyone.
I was wondering if anyone has found a work around to get a custom recovery to work on the oos 11 beta one for op7p gm1917.
I've tried msm tool and have working TWRP untill I install ops 11.
Once I install the beta 1 and TWRP booting to recovery is stuck in a flashing TWRP logo. Only way to recover from this is to flash stock boot image.
I do have root as I patched the stock boot.img with magisk 8.0.4 then flashed the boot image with fastboot.
If anyone could help me get this TWRP up and running I would definitely appreciate it.
Thank you...

TWRP is not available for Android 11 yet, so you will have to wait.

Thanks, buddy.

You guys can flash a zip of twrp like orangefox dual boot. Right after the ota in twrp. With a pen drive to get twrp in OS11. No need to actually use a dualboot its just a really nice build I use it.

Anyone tried this method? https://www.droidwin.com/update-oneplus-to-android-11-oxygenos-11-via-twrp-without-losing-root/

Mi 10 lite - Magisk and Twrp ??

Hello all !
I've got a question about rooting and TWRP on Mi 10 lite.
I saw threads about that, but my Mi is on MIUI 12.5.1, and so it's Android 11 now..
My question is : could i put latest TWRP and magisk without risk ??
I download TWRP app on play store, and the Mi 10 lite is not on the list to download the recovery, so i don't now if it's possible or not.
My goal is to install TWRP (and would like to know if this will wipe all my data or not ?) and after install Magisk to root.
Is there someone who can help me please ?
Thanks a lot
Ps : i saw another recovery, so TWRP or another don't matter

Yeah, I'm using both. Not sure about the TWRP app but I flashed the custom recovery from fastboot and installed magisk from the recovery.

Hello coomac,
Thanks for your answer so in custom recovery you're using TWRP ? Which version ?
And for Magisk which version are you using please ?
Because it's my only phone and don't want to brick it
Thanks by advance,

I've used all versions of TWRP and the orange fox release for monet. They all work fine, but I'm partial to this one. I'm using magisk v23 stable.
