How to get into twrp / reinstall neccessary?

Hello,
i have a question about getting into Recovery or maybe i have to install it again?
So i installed twrp following this guide
Install LineageOS on walleye | LineageOS Wiki
wiki.lineageos.org
At first i installed the Lineage OS recovery but wasnt able to flash a ROM with that so i switched and installed twrp.
It was installed to slot A.
I then went ahead and installed an ASOP ROM.
Now the ROM is working fine and i wanted to go into TWRP and do a Backup.
However i cant get into TWRP. Not with key combos nor with adb reboot recovery.
All i get is the fallen Android Robot picture.
I guess i wrote the image to Slot A as well and now have no recovery left.
Do i have to flash TWRP again and this time to Slot B?
I dont wanna brick anything by accident as i have seen some posts where people switched Slots and got bricks / semi bricks.
Thanks for any help or clarification.
Kind Regards

Hello mate, i never reinstalled twrp on my pixel 2 after catching a bootloop after installing it and then flashing magisk so stuck with using fastboot to fastboot boot twrp when I wanted to flash a ROM/mod.
Sounds strange that twrp was only on 1 slot as the twrp installer zip should flash both slots when flashed?
With regard to losing twrp you'll probably find that the new ROMs recovery has overwritten your twrp recovery during the flashing process giving you a stock recovery again (Fallen android). When I was using a 6T which is an A/B slot device you always had to reflash the twrp installer after a ROM flash to keep twrp installed.
I'd check the official twrp thread re backing up with twrp as it did have problems either backing up or restoring last I used it.
Hope that's some help.

android 11 - twrp bootloop

hey coming from android 10 going to 11 something went wrong during the process. Now i dont have magisk and everytime i try to get in recovery twrp just flashes, screen turn off and then turns on over and over again. I am able to get the phone started if i hold down power and up arrow it boots all the way.
I want to install twrp again and magisk. What is the best way to do this as i dont have access to twrp. I tried TWRP-3.5.1-guacamole-Nebrassy-3.img and i am able to boot in to recovery but i cannot flash current twrp "failed to mount /data" error.

Use the official TWRP. It works fine out of the box.

Thanks got it to work yesterday. I had to change my file system to ex2 then back to ex4 that reformated my phone. I lost all my datA but was able to get TWRP and root.
Question now, which version of TWRP works 100% for a11 on 7pro? And what is the best way to get pixel experience on stock oos on a11?

TWRP boot timeout, ROM LineageOS

Hello, I'm not usually a poster to any forum as my questions can be found with enough digging but I can't find my answer, so here goes.
BACKGROUND:
Stock: Motorola 5G Ace (kiev). Android 10. I think it was Snapdragon 690.
Unlocked bootloader
Installed to TWRP 3.5.2 for the 5g ace to both partions _a, _b
Used TWRP to flash lineage-18.1-20210701-UNOFFICIAL-kiev
All commands sent through BASH
DISCUSSION:
Tried to install Gapps after LineageOS, recieved errors that said something like no room or storage and went through each line with a fail. Verified cache was wiped, tried again. Failed again then moved to reboot with just OS.
Lineage OS installed with success.
Boot back to recovery, TWRP is gone and now it's LineageOS recovery. Could not figure out how to flash Gapps to with LineageOS, but learned that if reducing Gapps size it should work in TWRP, so re flashed TWRP, no problems.
PROBLEM:
TWRP will not load. At load screen it shows the TEAMWIN logo and lasts for a min or so then times out, reboots and loads OS.
Will adb to bootloader.
Will adb to fastboot, BUT enters TWRP, no screen touch will accept commands then lock screen initates at about 30-60s and hard reset to get out.
Can fastboot to recovery. but enters orginal TWRP boot time out.
-----------------------------------
REQUEST:
Please assist in troubleshooting why recovery will not boot so I can get Gapps flashed.
-----------------------------------
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
If plugged into charger/power it wont stay turned off and boots. Will only turn off from LineageOS.
Can not boot into fastbootd but I'm guessing that was something related to the original recovery that I wiped.
Comments:
Would this have something to do with LineageOS at Android 11 and my original TWRP was set for android 10?
All I was trying to do was get Gapps to load, super bummed that I was so close. At least my phone is still a phone.

Your TWRP is old. You can flash gapps from the linage recovery. If it was me, I would reflash the ROM and use the lineage recovery to flash the gapps. Once you know that the system is working, worry about the TWRP. The best place to look is the Telegram channel.

That's what I figured, what version would be better? Reading the TWRP pages make me believe I can't just pick anything that has a newer release date.

Lineage recovery appears gone. Do you know how to get it back, or if i'm wrong and then how do I get back into it?

I agree this would be a good path, but I have no access to any recovery SW. From what I understand I can't do this from inside the LineageOS either. Silver lining; Lineage is working fine.

Are you rooted with Magisk?

I am using TWRP 3.6.0_11.0 RC1.4. There is an installer that you can use Magisk to flash. It downloaded it from the Telegram channel. There is also a .img file in the Telegram channel.

https://t.me/MotoG5GOfficial is the correct channel.

That was it. Old TWRP. Thank you very much.

You are welcome.

Question TWRP LOOP stuck Poco x 3 pro

Hello everyone sorry i'm new here and also i don't know much about rooting my device Poco X 3 pro MIUI 13.0.3 Global and Andriod 12 .. sadly i messed up i had my boatloader unlocked fo my Poco x3 pro and i have installed custom recovery TWRP then i tried to install Magisk via the TWRP recovery but it won't work mainly because the data is encrypted and the TWRP can't acess in the internal storage so i used a OTG usb but gets error unable to mount /data/media/fox/.fox note that i tried both Orangefox and twrp still same error i assume its because the device is encrypted . also decrypt doesnt work it ask for password and i even removed all my accounts and disabled all lock screen but still not working at this point i thought that downgrading from MIUI 13 to 12 will fix this since i saw all videos who had it working used MIUI 12 and here where i messed up i used XiaoMiTool V2 then clicked custom ROM and used an offecial ROM from Xiaomi website ( miui_VAYUGlobal_V12.0.6.0.RJUMIXM_eccd7da42b_11.0.zip ) the phone booted into TWRP and started installing but ofcourse got the error first unable to mount /data/media/twrp then the process continued installing all the files then phone rebooted into TWRP LOOP now im stuck into TWRP and the USB debugging is turned off now as the phone appearntly did factory reset so i cant acess XiaoMiTool V2 again and when i try to wipe data from TWRP it says unable to wipe data ... please help im stuck on TWRP loop now
**UPDATE** i tried fastboot ROM using MiFlash tool but i get error since i'm stuck on twrp fastboot menue but after few restart it finally open the normal fastboot menue with the logo of the sitting rabbit which indecade this is miui 12 tried again to fash though Mifash tool and it worked (flashing the same version miui_VAYUGlobal_V12.0.6.0.RJUMIXM_eccd7da42b_11.0.zip but this time the fastboot version not the recovery one took few minutes then got error not catch checkpoint flash is not done then it reboot into the phone menue where i can click wipe data i click that and the phone (thankfully) opened into MIUI 12 LOGO screen
... theres an easier way to actually downgrade your MIUI using a trick through your phone only without root or pc or anything by changing the ROM file name before you click reboot wish i used that since its safer and official
omg finally Magisk installed successfully now didnt need to decrypt anything
now my last question is do i need custom ROM after rooting the device ? or does magisk mean its a custom root ? sorry first time rooting and i dont know if i need to install any apps or apply any setting or should i click update my MIUI now ?

Try the newest Unofficial TWRP from nebrassy (found in his thread here on XDA)
That supports decription.
I recommend arrowOS as custom ROM.
It's one of the oldest and works pretty well.
IMHO Stock ROM from Xiaomi is untrustworthy. Who knows what spyware they included.

Same for me now I have a question first I need a guide link how to install arrowOS or any better ROM also if I do that do I need to flash Magisk again or the device will be keep the Root ?

@Haldi4803 can you post the link of the TWRP as well ? There's many threads by nebrassy and they all seem old mine is the latest official and it doesn't work on miui 13 , I also heard of crdroid and derpfest ROMs for Poco x3 pro but I think they overheat much ? I didn't test so I'm just asking also what's the way to install a new ROM it seem little bit complicated but the ArrowOs thread doesn't explain all the steps in detail because I think it's for pro users I read on Google that there's way more steps to install a ROM

How to boot/flash TWRP for crDroid 9.2

I am going through this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-13-op7pro-crdroid-v9-2-12-03-2023.4511589/
I have installed the stock OOS, but when instructed to use the crDroid 9.2 recovery, I am wanting to replace this with TWRP. Do I need to go through the ADB sideload process and setup crDroid 9.2 and then go back and boot the TWRP image from fastboot? At this point, I am not able to boot the TWRP image via fastboot boot twrp[version 3.7 something here).img. The image loads and the command completes, but the phone gets stock on the OnePlus fastboot splash logo.
My experience with Resurrection Remix is that I always had to flash TWRP from within TWRP immediately after flashing the ROM or I would be unable later boot the TWRP boot image from fastboot. I really don't yet know the technical details of the relationship between the system/ROM and being able to boot the TWRP boot image. Either way, TWRP is too useful to not have, so using crDroid without TWRP is a non-starter for me.
Once I get TWRP recovery on here, can I install crDroid.zip from TWRP, or does it always need to be ADB sideloaded?
Thank you!

have u managed to install TWRP?
im in the same with pixel experience. i want TWRP to be my recovery but the image used gets me the oneplus logo had o flash the pixel experience recovery again.
