SOLVED: POCO X3 NFC stuck in boot/recovery loop after flashing Lineage 18.1 official SOLVED: - Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers

New here...
I was using lineage 18.1 unofficial on my poco x3 nfc... worked well.
I flashed the latest surya Lineage 18.1 official... (followed the guide on recoverymode dot com)
after flashing, phone will begin loading the lineage logo... after 30 to 40 seconds it restarts and goes back into TWRP.
In TWRP there is now a warning/error message in red letters....
"android rescue party trigger! possible solutions? either 1.wipe caches, and/or 2.format data, and/or 3. clean flash rom"
I tried going back to the 18.1 unofficial lineage rom... same behavior and message....???
I read a lot online and believe it may be Magisk but am at a loss as to how to proceed and fix the issue to get my phone working again !
TWRP 3.5.2
Magisk 23.0
Any solutions, advice welcome... first post here so hoping some Big BRAIN has a fix for me... thanks in Advance !

You should follow the instructions given in the official Lineage thread.
It's not possible to dirty flash official Lineage over unofficial.
If you want to take the safe route:
- Flash latest MIUI fastboot ROM (don't relock your bootloader)
- Flash TWRP recommend in the Lineage thread
- Flash Lineage, GApps, Magisk according the instructions in the Lineage thread

thanks for your speedy reply...
yes I want to take the "safe route"
I am downloading the latest MIUI fastboot rom.... do I install with MiFlash tool or adb?
I have only been at this game a few months and have had no problems up until now... still a bit green...
Thanks in advance

Use Miflash tool. Once you successfully flashed MIUI, the rest is rather easy

Stable gsi for honor 6x 8.1.0

You need to be in stock emui 8 with unlocked bootloader.
If you are in elemental rom come back to stock emui 8 then flash this rom.
If you are in another gsi you can proceed directly (flash below recovery then do factory reset then flash gsi los rom via fastboot then again reboot to stock recovery do factory reset)
If you are in stock emui 8 do not wipe anything just flash it via fastboot and do factory reset.
first flash this recovery
https://mega.nz/#!cbJFAIQD!qvp1KnZ0qxlg6nHDFmpM5qyZ9QUVIDe5PoZE0BQf8fs
Fastboot command: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk name of recovery.img
Then download
https://openkirin.net/download/
Fastboot command: fastboot flash system name of image.img
Los or RR rom and flash via fastboot (no need to wipe anything) then reboot to recovery do factory reset. You will have oreo 8.1 with gapps ,full signal bars,face unlock and stock camera.
If you are experiencing no sound its not gsi problem you didn't flashed stock completely so first flash this twrp recovery (only if you are in oreo not for emui5)
https://mega.nz/#!a81EDZAR!2-9yPFh3reghkGcfSl3nRIJhHGkP8fqDsgUG66ewjkk
Then flash stock emui 8 via huru
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
If huru only flased update.zip and gave you error no update_full_hw.zip and no update_data_full_public.zip not found in sd card then you need to rename them and flash again without wiping anything.
If stock emui 8 taking more than 5 minutes to boot then flash stock recovery mentioned above and do factory reset then it will boot with in 5 minutes.
If you don't have network or imei then you need to root. Then use any root explorer then go to cust/cn/all/localprop and change the line ro_config full network support=ture to false then reboot your network and imei will come back. You can do this in stock or in gsi.
RR ROM has great battery life with tons of customizations.
For emui8 flashing instructions,root and sound mod follow these instructions

Hell yess, thanks to open kirin team and you for mentioning it, the rom is excellent in use all bugs (the ones i faced in other gsi) fixed in this one and the availability of stock camera is just a cherry on top ?

Gsi means generic system image. In oreo custom roms will be available in system image formate we don't need twrp to flash custom roms just flash it via fastboot and factory reset.
Gsi roms will give you latest android os updates same as pixel devices getting so we don't need to wait for hauwei to release updates. If android p releases these gsi roms will give u update same as google devices getting. Oreo is game changer for every device.
If u want to flash gsi rom follow the emui8 upgrade method
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-update-to-emui-8-t3807806
Then follow instructions on openkirin support section.

Resurrection remix has huawei stock camera inbuilt....
Why flash stock recovery ? For those who are on Twrp ?
Great post. Hope you share some more experiences.
Trying to use the Google Play store it's telling me that my device isn't certified and I can't do anything..
NVM: For anyone else wondering I installed Magisk then the Magiskhide module and changed fingerprint.

Because you can't perform factory reset from twrp it can't do it correctly finally you will ended up in bootloop. You can flashctwrp right after doing factory reset but openkirin doesn't support twrp.

So before flashing magdisk did playstore worked for you? Or did you flashed magdisk when flashing os? For me playstore works perfectly.

Play store or any Google app wouldn't work for me before I install Magisk and the Module to change the fingerprint to a certified device.
No solution, but in the meantime you can use Aptoide as store: http://en.aptoide.com

OK, so I am not sure what exists in the OnePlus forums but lets start with:
1. You are aware there are two sets of partitions on this device correct? If not, please read here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-noobs-guide-to-b-partitions-op6-t3816123
2. What are you running now?
3. You need to update your TWRP to blu_spark but I am not sure if the latest (v9.91) works with Oreo... I know that v9.86 works with Oreo for sure. Read and download from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/kernel-t3800965
4. Get the appropriate OOS zip file from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3792244
Specifically OOS 5.1.11: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903980680
The basic steps should be like this (all assumes you have and unlocked bootloader):
1. If you are running OOS 5.1.11, reboot to fastboot
2. Boot blu_spark TWRP.img - fastboot boot twrp.xxx.img
3. Flash OOS 5.1.11
4. Flash blu_spark TWRP.zip to get it on both slots
5. Reboot to RECOVERY
6. Flash OOS 5.1.11
7. Flash blu_spark TWRP.zip
8. Factory reset in TWRP
9. Flash Havoc Oreo zip
10. Flash blu_spark TWRP.zip
11. Reboot to RECOVERY
12. Flash GApps
13. Flash Magisk (optional if you want root)
14. Flash no-verity if you plan to run unencrypted. (optional)
My advice is to READ READ READ before going forward with anything. The A/B partition layout is far from the traditional days of a single partition layout with a recovery partition. Educate yourself or risk bricking your device and opening up a whole different set of problems.
i do this by step by step but now iam bricked. after all it want restart but it glows only the blue led

It does sound like you READ READ READ before proceeding... My steps were not intended as a step-by-step guide, which is why I said the steps "should look like this". You didn't answer any of my questions, so I have no idea where you started from or where things went wrong to get you into this state...
Can you get into fastboot mode?
If so, try this thread first: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665
The fastboot restore method will ONLY work if you know which OOS you were running before you got bricked...
If you can't restore from fastboot images, try this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/tool-msmdownloadtool-v4-0-international-t3798892
I cannot stress enough, you MUST read all the steps and understand what you are doing before doing anything. If you have any questions, ASK before proceeding... Good luck.

You are back up and running, good work! Congrats!
When you say the device is 'locked', you mean the bootloader is locked again? It shows 'Locked' in fastboot? Obviously you need to unlock the bootloader again before proceeding if this is the case...
And 'Yes', it is normal for 'bootloader version' and 'baseband' to be blank. It shows the same on my device anyway, and I can flash custom ROMs with no issues, and everything works.
At this point, you should be able to follow the steps in my post, making sure you first unlock the bootloader (which will wipe all of your data). You might want to format data (not just wipe as well) to start fresh. I would also confirm that there are no issues running Havoc Oreo with encryption (I'd recommend asking the question in the Havoc OnePlus telegram channel, https://t.me/havoconeplus). After people ask to "Why are you running Oreo?!?!", you just might get an answer... I dumped being encrypted after about a week of having this device because it made moving between ROMs more difficult.
In step 14, I mention the no-verity file to remove force encryption. I have attached it to this post. Again, you may want to have /data encrypted (necessity, personal preference etc.) so this isn't mandatory but I found it made flashing different ROM's much easier (personal preference really).

Looks like they removed Oreo builds, you might be out of luck. Check out XenonHD 8.1 thread if your set on running Oreo, was updated to Dec. Security patch.
hey brother. i have good news. i just want download again havoc oreo cause i deleted the old zip. i had thought maybe the oreo havoc zip was faulty. now i restored it with a restore tool. i tried again and now it works.

Did you flash OOS 5.1.11 on both slots? I know you said you were on OOS 5.1.5 when you did the MSM tool restore.
Unsure if the Havoc build you are running requires a certain FW. Usually the devs update the blobs on customer ROMs based on the latest releases of OOS. In this case, 5.1.11 was the last version of OOS Oreo.
i was on 5.1.5 and flashed 5.1.11 on both slots and then i flashed havoc rom

I'd recommend just going to Pie. I haven't run Havoc in over a month but the latest AEX is solid and battery life is excellent. The Pie ROMs have stabilized significantly in the last month.

custom roms keep puttimg me back into fastboot

So long time android user. I have the tmo variant of the Oneplus7 pro with unlocked bootloader via exploit found. Have twrp installed amd stock rom rooted with magisk. I tried installing the Havoc and the Aosip rom followed directions step by step. Havoc booted to the first gteen splash screen then reboots to fastboot. Aosip gets to the settimg up wifi then reboots to fastboot. I made a backup of the stock rom before installing anything and im able to restore it with twrp and root. I looked in the threads but didn't find anything unless i missed it. Also been sitting on telegram waiting on someone to shed some light.

What about battery life ?
I haven't noticed any abnormal consumption.
I don't have any apps working in the background, and I haven't installed Gapps.
But the phone is new, the battery is 5Ah, with normal use I get to the evening with 30-40%.
Perhaps it consumes a bit more than MurenaOS (formerly /e/OS, which I used for years on several Xiaomis, with great satisfaction for my privacy needs).
I don't care much about battery consumption, my goal is privacy, and there is some work to be done on this Lineage.
I hope some Murena expert will work on it, I don't have the skills to do so.
I accept indications on other "privacy-friendly roms" or settings for Lineage 19.1...

I confirm the answers you have already received.
I followed the directions in "Installing a custom recovery, and disabling encryption in the system," in this forum.
There you will find Twrp 3.6.2_12-0.
Rom is "lineage-19.1-20221003-UNOFFICIAL-veux-signed.zip" (1,170,242,002 bytes).
Now I don't remember where it came from, I think from this forum.
Try to look for it, if you don't find it we will see what to do.
I am a newbie, I don't know the forum rules.
I had also tried the directions of "TWRP 3.7.0_12 for VEUX/PEUX", but I had problems.

Twrp 3.6.2_12-0 is not official, small difficulties are normal, I thank who developed it!

I thought it seemed to freeze, instead it unlocked after a few minutes.
I spotted a little trick: press the power button on the phone and you can access recovery right away.

My story and a couple of questions

Hi All,
I have a new-to-me Oneplus 7 Pro. I have been trying to get Lineage with MicroG running. Well it has been quite the adventure and I have it to the point where I have Lineage running fine, and go to reflash TWRP and have bricked the phone, which takes a bit of time to get back to the point of having Linage running again. Specifics:
Lineage version: lineage-19.1-20221219-microG-guacamole.zip
TWRP Versions: I have found that twrp-3.6.1_11-0-guacamole.img works since my phone is at Android 11.
My questions are:
Are TWRP versions tied to Android versions?
When I am trying to get the last version of TWRP installed I have tried 2 approaches:
fastboot flash recovery
fastboot flash boot
Neither worked, phone always ends up bricked. I have used:
TWRP-3.5.1-guacamole-Nebrassy-3.img
twrp-3.6.1_11-0-guacamole.img
twrp-3.6.2_11-0-guacamole.img
I also have tried to boot the images 1st using: fastboot boot twrp-3.6.1_11-0-guacamole.img
and that bricks things.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

If you look at the official installation page for your phone, you will see that Lineage OS 20 and 19.1 are supported. So you should reinstall Lineage OS 18.1 again, and then follow the steps on this page. Don't bother reinstalling GAPPS until after you upgrade it.
If for whatever reason you don't want an Android version higher than 11, let me know.
I specifically don't want GAPPS or anything remotely Google related. I had tried OS 20 and found that I had a problem installing apps - probably user error, but I don't need the latest and greatest. I am currently at Android 11.
I will read through the instructions, although the number of tutorials I have gone through is craze.
Can you tell me what the relationship between TWRP and Android version is, and are you able to sus out what I did wrong with my efforts to get TWRP loaded over the lineage 19 version I was using?
Thanks

So I guess you don't want GAPPS, just MicroG. Definitely read through the instructions I gave you, as they are the official installation and upgrade instructions.
I would recommend installing Lineage OS 20, because it is the version that is being maintained right now.
I will attempt to guide you through the steps, but I need to know what your situation is right now: Is your bootloader unlocked? What OS do you have installed right now? What recovery are you using? etc.
I appreciate your help. Currently I am looking at a freshly updated phone with Android 11, and Oxygen 11.0.9.1.GM21AA.
The phone is a GM1917
Bootloader is unlocked and I am in developer mode. I have adb and fastboot loaded on my computer. I also have a working version of msm as I have bricked this thing 6 or 7 times...
Several times now, I have done the following:
Install TWRP
Install Lineage
Try and reflash TWRP <-- consistently fails at this point, gets stuck in a boot loop in the bootloader screen
Thanks

"Try and reflash TWRP" what do you mean, update the OS over TWRP?
I mean trying to re-install TWRP after installing Lineage

OK. Can you try following the installation instructions and skip the unlock bootloader step? Do so at your own risk, because the steps say you have to be on Android 12 first. If you do follow them, just make sure you follow them very carefully.

To my knowledge the guides that are provided on the TWRP site don't work for Android 12 and 13. From what I've heard, you have to root your phone and then install TWRP through Magisk.

The guides I linked to point to the official Lineage OS instructions, right?

Yeah, but I was just saying how they should probably reflash TWRP instead of how TWRP's site says to, which doesn't work

This build uses Lineage OS Recovery instead of TWRP.

I know, but TWRP can be installed with Android 13 custom roms according to the TWRP thread.
