I can't install TWRP on my Nubia Z20(android 11 v3.18

I can't install TWRP on my Nubia Z20(android 11 v3.18 - General Questions and Answers

Hello there. I updated my Nubia Z20 global ROM to android 11. I lost Google services in the process.
So I install the necessary drivers on my PC and used minimal adb and fastboot to unlock bootloader on my phone. But my problem is that I can't install TWRP recovery on the phone itself.
I used the Twrp recovery for nubia z20.exe to get the phone into fastboot mode but I cannot proceed any further.
Once the phone enters into fastboot mode, the computer wont detect my phone anymore.
Please help

Are you able to extract the .exe with something like 7zip to get the twrp.img file?
Then you could fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Thanks so much. I will use 7zip to get the twrp.img file.
After that, what do I do next?
do I open minimal adb and fastboot then type the command "fastboot recovery twrp.img"?

If you're able to extract it, yes. I tried searching for a copy of that file, but they all appear to be removed from the forums.

Hello again. I tried to extract using 7zip but I couldn't get the .img file. It gave me an error message

Can you share the link you used to download TWRP and copy the error message you are getting?

It means you've not copied the files into your ADB folder as it can't find the fastboot files

open the folder where you extracted the tarbal
hold down shift and right click
open command prompt here
do a "fastboot devices" to check if your device is connected
continue flashing using the commands.

"Into your FASTBOOT folder". adb's got nothing to do with this.

worked for me i never had to put anything into my android tools folder, i have system wide access no matter where i open up the command prompt.

Easiest way is to extract the sh1t out of the Google file until you eventually see all the img files. Then extract the fastboot zip into the same folder they're in and open a command prompt there.

People refer to the folder with ADB and fastboot in it as the ADB folder (If you had adb/fastboot in the system path this wouldn't even be required)
Do you really think I meant them to use ADB? Come on, now

TWRP 3.0.2 for Acer Predator 8 ported by Ruben. - If you like my work please donate here, it will also give me a boost to make more things for this device : https://www.paypal.me/RubenCraveiro
----------- -----------
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ROOTING AND UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER:
After flashing TWRP 3.0.2, use the SuperSU 2.46 flashable zip, do NOT use latest version or will result in a bootloop. Good Luck and have fun with rooting. Unlocking bootloader will delete all your data, so please make a backup first. Thank you.
----------- -----------
CREDITS
And also, before anything i would like to say thanks to @arjaylzo for telling me the name of a device with TWRP which helped making this update possible.
REQUIREMENTS
1- Fastboot/ADB Drivers and ADB folder
For drivers: http://adbdriver.com - Download ADB Driver Installer (universal) from the website, extract it, connect device it should detect device(if not, enable USB Debugging and reconnect), and press install, it should install drivers.
For ADB Folder: download this and extract to your main drive(C:/): https://goo.gl/ZTrfBb
2- Unlocked Bootloader (you need requirement 1 to do this)
Instructions for Unlocking bootloader: Go on settings, about device, press build version several times till it says your a developer, go back to settings, press Developer Options, and enable OEM Unlocking. Power off, then press at same time Power and Vol+ button, then connect to pc and open a cmd and write cd c:\\adb and write fastboot oem unlock, then accept the prompt it will give on tablet, and follow the rest of the steps.
----------- -----------
New TWRP bugfix update! Now you can flash stock rom on TWRP without bricking! Download Page updated!
----------- -----------
BUGS:
1- adb shell command needs to be sent before system partition is mounted or it will give an error, after doing adb shell you can mount system and do all the modifications you need.
2- You cant flash any img on twrp it gives an error, im trying to fix.
3- Backups do work, but everytime twrp restarts, the device name seems to change (which means that on /TWRP/BACKUPS/devicename/backupsinside/ changes every reboot so you have to go get the backup inside the old devicename folder and put on the new devicename folder).
----------- ADITIONAL NOTES -----------
Im leaving an unsecured boot image because system seems not want to boot android if anything seems changed. So please if system does not boot after flashing twrp/rooting, flash the unsecured boot img on fastboot
----------- -----------

C:\adb is where my adb and fastboot commands are.. on the downloaded files from Step 1 only the SuperSU zip is needed on the tablet so that you can flash it later on with twrp, the rest you leave on pc and use fastboot to flash TWRP, unsecured boot image, etc...

make sure you didnt put a folder inside the adb folder instead of the actual file and make sure your writing the right name of the file..

also its not unsecboot, the name i added on this thread was just so it would be faster, the name is unsecuredboot.img and not unsecboot.img i guess ill have to edit that in order for people following the tutorial by line dont make these mistakes..

If you flash stock rom, i think you have to reinstall stock recovery, the rom itself already brings stock boot.. after flashing stock recovery it should boot since no modifications have happend

On step 4 You need the fastboot files, (adb & fastboot) just search how to install adb and fastboot drivers, choose the directory where to install them and place the needed files inside that folder and open a command prompt on that folder so you can flash the files.

That means adb drivers arent corrently installed, but i can see you have the folder with adb, all you have to now is download this(drivers): http://dl.adbdriver.com/upload/adbdriver.zip
Extract and open the software eith the tablet plugged in, it should tell of drivers is installer properly or not, and if not you can install, after installing it should work on the cmd the commands..

[TWRP][FAIL TO FLASH] TWRP.img file don't work

Hello!
I'm stuck trying to flash TWRP into my devices and hoping now to maybe get some help figuring this out.
My devices is
LG Nexus 5, D821, Android 6.0.1
OnePlus 3T, A3003, OxygenOS 5.0, Android 8.0.0
I wanting to flah them both with TWRP Recovery, I've followed the tutorials for each phone from the links below
LG Nexus 5
https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...ide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905
OnePlus 3T
http://www.teamandroid.com/2017/02/24/install-oneplus-3t-twrp-3-0-3-recovery-complete-guide/2/
I have installed the android studio for my PC and downloaded the neccesary tools to make this work as "Android SDK Platform-Tools", "Android SDK Tools", "Google USB Driver". I have unlocked the bootloader on both phones and downloaded the latest TWRP.img file for each phone from
LG Nexus 5
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/hammerhead/
OnePlus 3T
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/oneplus3t/
I've located each file in the same directory as adb and fastboot. The problem for me now is when I'm in command prompt and typing the following command
"cd Desktop/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools/fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
I get the following text
"error: cannot load 'recovery.img': No such file or directory"
I have tried to download older twrp files and also from other pages but the issue remians. And when I'm in windows and trying to open the .img file I get a window that says
"It is not possible to mount the file"
"The Disc Image file is corrupted"
How can I solve this issue? Please Help

I've located each file in the same directory as adb and fastboot.

You mean your recovery.img is placed in your platforms-tools folder?
If so, try providing the full path to the recovery image in your command, for example:
Code:
cd Desktop/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools/fastboot flash recovery Desktop/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools//recovery.img
Also, I believe you need to reboot into bootloader before flashing the recovery, if you aren't aware already.

General [Root] Magisk Patched Boot image

Firmware 18.0830.2101.81 Magisk patched boot image.
I have dumped the boot image from Asus payload BIN using Python. Tested and works flawlessly.
Try on your own RISK!
How to install:
- Unlock your bootloader using ASUS unlock app.
- Enable debugging in developers options.
- Install ADB & Fastboot Drivers.
- Extract then copy the attached boot.img to ADB tools folder.
- Open a prompt command in ADB folder, enter command "adb reboot bootloader"
- Select Recovery using the volume keys and power key , then select fastboot.
- Enter command "adb flash boot boot.img"
if the above doesn't make sense, then probably you shouldn't be trying to root using this method.
Thanks.

Does anyone tried applying an OTA update while rooted? Is it sufficient to restore stock boot image, apply update zip file and flash new patched boot image? I have not tried it yet, because there is no TWRP available and I want to backup my data before trying.

Yes you can apply ota update.
When the OTA Update finishes don't reboot click later, then go to magisk install OTA to inactive slot.

Also, you can find a rooting guide here. It will work for the 6a as well. There is also a 6a forum.

The way I do it is put the patched boot image in my Platform Tools folder (latest version of course), open command prompt from the Platform Tools folder and flash it.

Did you copy the file called "patched_magisk.img" into the folder you launched adb.exe from? You either have to have it in the same folder, or call the file using its path (eg. "c:\users\admin\desktop\patched_magisk.img")
