I installed twrp on my pixel on 7.1.1 it reboots to tarp again I got it to boot to the p.s. by clicking reboot / a on bottom left option but get error codes and can't open a lot of apps. I tried to install a tom and clear device cache and cause fails. Anyone know how I can fix this. I thought I used all the latest files

Did you fastboot boot into TWRP, then flash twrp-pixel-installer-sailfish-3.0.2-0-RC1.zip? Were you stock prior?
Installed img through pc then installed the zip file with twrp. I found a article here stating I need to flash stock ing to get back to normal

Yes, you are not supposed to install twrp, just boot into it. If you install it by mistake, you go back, flash stock boot.img, and do it again.
This is from Dees_Troy's post located here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/development/twrp-alpha1-pixel-devices-t3500314
Installation:
If you already have TWRP installed: Download the latest zip and install the zip using TWRP.
If you do not already have TWRP installed: Download both the img and the zip. Copy the zip to your device. You will need to have fastboot binaries and the correct drivers installed. Power off your device completely. Hold volume down and turn on the device. Your device should now be in the bootloader. Connect the device to your PC. Open a command window and run the following command from the proper location:
fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img
This will temporarily boot TWRP on your device. If you are using a lockscreen pin/pattern/password and do not get prompted to enter your passord, reboot to the bootloader and try again. Go to install and browse to the zip and install the zip. If you are currently rooted with SuperSU, you will need to reflash the stock boot image before installing TWRP. After installing the stock boot image, follow the instructions for installing TWRP. Once TWRP is installed, grab the very latest SuperSU released on 2015-11-15 or later and install SuperSU.
If you accidently flash TWRP to your device using fastboot instead of temporarily booting the image, you will need to download the latest factory image for your device and reflash the boot image.
@Tulsadiver First off, thanks for the post on this. I installed TWRP to slot A by accident and am finding myself in this same predicament (though I found that I can boot by switching to slot B). I found another post online that mentioned what you commented on, specifically:

Having previously downloaded Oreo 8.1 and setup root, I had loaded into TWRP, went to install, selected the TWRP zip, and installed (as per what you had suggested and what I read earlier). This is what led me to the current problem, making me realize that I'm missing something in the description. Now, I likely don't need to flash TWRP (I don't develop and used flashfire to do upgrades) but my last upgrade left me rootless and I felt having it installed would make life a little easier. I was hoping to ask for a clarification on the TWRP install.

Things have changed with 8.1. you have to root with magisk. From slot b you cannot fastboot flash boot_a boot.img?
I believe the instructions now are to boot to TWRP, install TWRP pixel installer zip, then flash Magisk zip
Here is where TWRP files are here

I hadn't tried yet. I was worried about messing things up further without asking for help online first. I'll give this a shot later. Does boot.img refer to the android image file? (ie: what I'd download from the OTA site?)

Yes, the zip file that is located where the flash-all.bat is. Unzip it and flash the boot.img.
I bought a Pixel 2 on swappa. It had different bootloader's on slot a and slot b. I couldn't flash updates when on slot a. I thought I was hosed but from slot b I could flash to slot a so now I'm fine. Slot a had a preview bootloader.
I used magisk on my phone for roots right but it has lost roots. I tried to go into recovery to reinstall magisk but recovery isnt booting, when it select advanced it gives me fastboot or recovery options but when I select recovery its goes back to the start again. I have tried to reinstall TWRP using this method
https://www.xda-developers.com/official-twrp-oneplus-6-huawei-p20-pro/
but I then get a crash dump window.
Please can I get some advice how to proceed?
Thanks
Make sure you're using 3.2.3, anything prior to that is not for Android Pie. If you updated your OS that is more than likely the reason you lost root. Make sure that you download TWRP.img and fastboot through the image before you try to install TWRP permanently

Aha! I did wonder but I followed the guide to the letter as I thought I might brick the phone if I risked the other imgs. I did sort it by using a different TWP file.

Good deal glad you got everything working.
I'm on stock android 10 and I have accepted an update I was offered yesterday. It seems everytime I update I have an issue rooting and installing TWRP (last month I was bricked), maybe because I use the last TWRP version I have before the update (currently twrp-3.3.1-1-enchilada). What is the correct process for installing TWRP and rooting again with Magisk? Do I need to get a TWRP update each time?
You have to install the latest one (3.3.18).
Reboot fastboot, type fastboot boot 'recoveryname'.img, once time you are in twrp flash the installer from the inside. Reboot to recovery again and flash magisk.
When you need to update you have two ways:
1 download the full ROM zip and place it in your main storage folder (sd card);
Update via local update but don't reboot;
Open magisk and download and install twrp a/b retention script and don't reboot yet;
Go in the magisk main page and install it as installation in the inactive slot (after OTA);
Reboot and enjoy.
2 download the full zip;
Reboot in twrp;
Flash rom + twrp installer;
Reboot to recovery;
Flash magisk;
Reboot and done.

Np man. If you wanna make me happy press like button
You know, sometimes its too easy to forget to do that.
Hello everyone,
As I mentioned in the title, since I upgraded to Android 10, can't boot to recovery.
Dowloaded latest version of the Adb kit, and while issuing
adb reboot recovery
the phone reboots but goes to normal boot.
Tried manually (power + vol down etc.) and when choosing Recovery - same thing happens.
Needless to say that my laptop is authorized debug device and phone is in debug mode etc. - I have done this many times before Android 10 update.
All I try to do is to sideload the latest OTA as I did many times before because my phone is rooted and the updates do not install automatically.
Pixel (First generation)
Rooted with Magisk
Bootloader unlocked
Stock recovery (using TWRP without installing it when flashing Magisk)
Hope somebody can advise. Obviously there is something new in Android 10 which has to be set (like the need for debugging authorization for example, which I already did).
Thank you
John
Im getting a similar problem. I get stuck on th Google logo screen. I cant hard-reset, recovery mode or boot, the only things that works is th barcode.
Android 10 changed something in the ramdisk that you can't install TWRP directly on the phone. You have to boot it via PC using "fastboot boot <insert twrp image name>.img"
You can try installing twrp to ramdisk. Put twrp 3.3.1-0.img in your devices storage and then fastboot twrp 3.3.0-0 (disable pin etc first) then once it's booted go to advanced and select install to ramdisk and select the 3.3.1-0.img and it should install it. You may get a not enough storage error on 10/Q (I did) bit worth a punt. Make a back up first as usual, if no good flash a fresh factory.img and see if that cures it and then restore your apps/data etcfrom your Google back up (if you use it)
Good luck

Thank you for the advice, however as I mentioned in my original post I don't want to install TWRP permanently , and the problem is that I cannot go to the stock recovery mode which has no connection to TWRP. There is something with Android 10 which changed since 9 and I'm interested to find what. Everything worked fine before the upgrade.
Also, the option to flash factory image and restore (I also have Titanium in addition to Google backup) is a too much of a hassle. I use this phone for real, not only to play with it.
Anyway, again thank you for your input.
John
Sorry mate, re read your OP. I just tried booting into the aosp recovery and got the same issue! My guess is its magisk as I could boot into the aosp recovery prior to installing it. Re flash or restore the previous boot.img or a stock boot.img and it should boot into aosp recovery again. Magisk must be installing to or patching the aosp recovery ramdisk and stopping it booting. Other than that just fastboot twrp and use that.
Edit: it's magisk, restored original images and it booted into aosp recovery first try.
I've had no problems installing TWRP 3.3.0.0 normally after using an *.img file to get TWRP started. EDIT: and booting into it.

You are right. I did open Magisk and from the uninstall options choosed "Restore images" (no need to do complete uninstall, which is the other option). After that I was able to boot in recovery etc. I guess this is what you meant in your PS. At the end re-flashed Magisk and all is back to normal.
I will alert the Magisk team about the issue (if they are not already aware).
Case closed.
Thanks again.

It is a mess. It works with Pixel (I have this one and can confirm) and supposedly Pixel 2. It won't work for brand new phones arriving with factory installed Android 10.
Read the following:
https://twrp.me/site/update/2019/10/23/twrp-and-android-10.html#
After that, if you want to try, go to the page below to find instructions for your device. Note that the list is by manufacturer, so if you are looking for Pixel, it is under Google.
https://twrp.me/Devices/
Just in case - backup and have the factory image for your phone handy in case something goes wrong. For google phones you can download the image and see instructions here:
https://developers.google.com/android/images
Note that I never installed TWRP permanently, so I can't say if the permanent installation will work (I think it should, but not sure). Typically I just load TWRP and use it to flash pakages, but at the end I'm keeping the stock recovery.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Thanks. Yea from what I can tell no one has had luck actually installing it on the Pixel with Android 10 yet. I'm familiar with how to fix everything if something goes wrong. I would try but others have already tried and failed. It won't install for them.
firstly, dont use whatever ****ty platform-tools you are using, get them from here.
secondly, you dont install recovery on android 10 yet, it doenst work. you have to just boot to twrp using `fastboot boot twrp.img` once you are in bootloader mode.
Hello guys!
The story began, when I accidently installed a stock OTS update by OP onto my already rooted OP6 with Magsik and TWRP, running a NoLimits ROM...
I just noticed, that the phone said "restart to finish OTS upgrade" or some kind of thing..... I always had the notification on my screen that an update would be available....what surely was ignored because running NoLimits ROM.... but because of some unknown reason, the stock update installed itself magically...
So I ended up finding my phone in complete stock condition, just the unlocked bootloader remained..... F*CK!
I tried to go back to root by trying to install TWRP via fastboot...and that was the beginnig of the end...
By fastboot boot twrp.img, the phone just remained in fastboot mode..... no twrp screen showed up... repeated this a few times, nothing changed....
Somewhere here I read to look up the current slot.... so I did fastboot getvar current-slot.... and after slot b was shown, I flashed twrp into slot b by fastboot flash boot_b twrp.img..... which had the phone stuck in screen "the bootloader is unlocked.....".... so i think that's what is called a BRICK...?
Please guys, help me out...as I don't know how to go on.... I also tried to flash stock boot img from here via fastboot, what didn't work either....
Would be glad for any suggestions...
Thanks!

i remember that NoLIMIT rom mustbe uninstall before update the oos.In your case i think it was bootloop,softbrick.You boot into fastboob mood and use fastboot rom. and you can root and instant TWRP again.

Nothing is working at the moment, just fastboot... not recovery mode, no booting into the OTS...
Tried to use MSM tool but it can't even find the right port....at first, I had COM3 and COM4 showing up, but only N/A....
Now i uninstalled the qualcom drivers as suggested in an unbrick thread of the OP 5T, but that made every port disappear in the MSM tool list.... I'm f*cked I guess...
How can I fix that driver mess again? (driver signing is disabled in bios, testmode is available an working on my pc)

But I still can't boot twrp on the phone....if I do so, the phone boots into fastboot mode again and freezes at "1+ logo" with "Fastboot Mode" below it..... same like before? The device is fully wiped now...
So how can I get TWRP working again...??
I also tried fastboot flash recovery twrp.img -> no such partition..... don't know why it worked the first time I did it, root and custom ROM without any issues...

If you are on Android 10 try to download last version from Mauronofrio or last from Blu-Spark (V9.109). I use blu_spark with OOS 10.3.3
Sometimes the command for being able to boot in recovery from Fastboot is:
Fastboot flash boot "nameofTWRPimage".img
Flash a patched boot image of your rom via fastboot and than flash twrp installer through magisk manager. Done.

TWRP update - no boot into system
Hello guys....it's me again!
After getting everything working again because of the tremendous help of this forum, i tried to update my twrp recovery via twrp by installing the twrp zip-file...
Afterwards, i tried to upgrade my rom from NoLimits 11.2 to 11.5 - but the phone didn't boot afterwards....i've always ended up in the recovery menue....
I then changed slots (from b to a) in the recovery, and then, the phone booted again....but into the stock ROM...
I can't change slots again now and have stock rom in slot a as it seams.... how can i change that again? how can i flash the custom rom in the right slot again?
Thanks in advance!

It's OK. That's the point of having 2 slots system. Be able to recover the other partition if something goes wrong.
So now... Do you have TWRP or stock recovery?
You can dirty flash stock on the inactive Slot.
I would install stock rom in inactive slot through Local Update un System updater, don't reboot, install TWRP retention script in Magisk Manager (of course only if you have a proper TWRP running, if not avoid this step), don't reboot, install magisk to inactive Slot (through Magisk Manager), reboot.
After that you Will have stock on both partitions. You can try again the XXX Update.

I think TWRP is working, nur on slot B - the question is: how come that i Installed TWRP Update via TWRP Recovery, was able to reboot Ingo recovery, and after Flash of the ROM via TWRP, only TWRP Recovery was left... No bootable ROM, so i tried Slot A and that was Stock Rom...
How can i install stock ROM into Slot B if Slot A is currently 'running'?

I downloaded Oxygen Updater, also OOS 10.3.4, but in my system stettings, update button is greyed out.... with the nolimits ROM before, I once had issues that the OEM update got installed...so that led to my problem which made me open up this thread in the first place.... so i disabled system update via titanium backup when I had root access...
So now it's greyed out...but as it is the stock rom, it shouldn't be greyed out as titanium backup doesn't work at the moment, without root...
Should i flash via @mauronofrio's method and fully wipe the device?... would be a pain in the a.. as everything gets erased again, setting up from scratch 2 times within 3 weeks
Regards,
Alex
Would it be possible to install magisk without twrp, and then flash the NoLimits ROM via Magisk?
TWRP recovery must be there....only in slot B - i tried to change slot by fastboot --set-active=..... but it didn't work, unknown command

I think there's some thread in Guides and News in which OP uploads some patched boot.img le something like that to have root but i never tried.
Hello, I had my OP7P rooted on android 11, but after updating to 11.0.6.1.GM21AA, I just couldn't get root to work.
I downloaded the OxygenOS 11.0.6.1.GM21AA from oneplus.com, extracted the boot.img, downloaded the new (supposedly with Android 11 support) TWRP (twrp-3.6.0_11-0-guacamole.img), booted to the TWRP, and installed root using the magisk APK, when I booted the phone had "Android Intellegnce stopped working" all sort of apps stopped working as well and some also crashed when I tried to open them, I flashed the original boot image and after some research I saw that using Magisk Canary build might help, so I tried with it too and same result.
I tried installing root using Magisk.apk, I tried patching a boot image using Magisk (both versions) but to no avail.
Some notes:
-Using the Canary build actually rooted my phone unlike the normal Magisk, but with problems still.
-When trying to use TWRP's "Flash Current TWRP" option, it overwrite my boot image and when trying to boot to fastboot or system it booted to recovery instead.
I will be glad for any help because having an unrooted device sucks.
Thanks in advance and sorry for any grammar mistakes (English is not my first language)
May be the first thing I'd think of trying it to disable any/all Magisk module installed.
Then, with the full OTA ROM stored in the main storage directory of your device... Basically a dirty Flash using the same OOS version you are using now and that should save the wipe/reset...
OTA Flash that and do not reboot and in Magisk manager check to see if manager is able to install Magisk as in install after OTA (?). That should work and then reboot device then verify. Don't forget to re-enable and Magisk modules...
Hope that can and will point you into the right direction.
I've not bothered with TWRP since I installed it then the next OTA went back to stock recovery. So, might be worth skipping TWRP for root as is not required so far as I can tell ... But I also have a Windows computer set up to flash via adb command alternatively.
Edit:. Think I forgot to say that the OTA update changed my TWRP back to stock recovery... But that's easy enough it change if desired

Hello, thanks for the reply, I wanna get a few things straight before doing anything that have the potential to brick my phone.
1. My phone rn isn't rooted, so I cant uninstall or disable Magisk modules, I CAN root my device but it is very unstable and im not sure doing it is a good idea, maybe there's another way to disable them?
2. What do you mean by dirty flash? Using the device update section and selecting the official OOS version I downloaded from OnePlus.com?
1) may be forget about root for now as that's probably not the priority at this time. Getting a stable operating system is the priority. And skip TWRP (don't see the point of if being needed at this step either).
2) my best guess is that I've used oxygen updater from the play store to download the full update (not incremental update) that exactly matches the one you have installed now - or search here and find the match to download or used the OnePlus cite to get the file. Then once that is downloaded to your device - go to settings/system/system updates/local update and install and reboot. That's the dirty Flash as in don't wipe/reset your device either before/after the installation. I'm hoping that this method will clean up both the recovery and boot images to stock and hopefully restore stability to your device without the wipe/reset.
Hope that helps and restore the device stability without TWRP nor root.
Hi wugga3, thanks again for your time, unfortunately a stable device is not my problem, I have managed to make a stable boot image by downloading the OOS version from the Oneplus website and flashing the boot image after attempting to root my device unsuccessfully.
My problem right now is that my device isn't rooted and I can't manage to root it using the methods I mentioned above, I currently have an unrooted stable OOS version 11.0.6.1.GM21AA.

How about installing just the magisk APK then taking the exctracted boot.img patching it in magisk APK, then disabling all security , take the patched boot.img and flash it in fast boot ( fastboot flash boot boot.img) reboot to system .

Here's an Orangefox prerooted OxygenOS 11 boot.img that works on 11 and 12. Just boot to fastboot, connect to a PC open a command prompt in the same directory and type..
fastboot flash boot boot-v9-root24.img...
Also it's easier to just flash both slots by this commands..
Fastboot flash boot_a boot-v9-root24.img and then fastboot flash boot_b boot-v9-root24.img...
I dual boot with this version of twrp and here's a solid boot img. You can flash it also in recovery or with "partition manager off play store. Check it out.
Fixed!
Thanks so much for the suggestions, which I might didn't fully consider in a rush...
The solution was to root my phone, reboot it all shaky and try to disable all Magisk modules (took me 2 tries because of the crashes and stuff), then flash again the original boot image, rebooting, creating a rooted boot.img using Magisk and flashing it.

First of all thanks for the help but I ended up fixing it in another way.
Second of all, not really related but do you know if I can use this recovery on OP7Pro A12 custom Rom? (and flash it)
