i don't know how else to describe this, i was flashing a custom ROM, then flashed magisk and now my phone is stuck in bootloop unable to go to recovery or system, the phone boots then black screen, etc etc, the same goes for recovery except it is faster (i reflashed recovery and it still happens) unable to do basically anything other than stay in fastboot mode.
what should i do?
edit 1: i can reboot to recovery and only be able to access shell.
Enter fastboot and flash recovery again. Brigudav's TWRP is the most used one. Gringo80's TWRP is new but seems to be working as others have written. (Both are unofficial and a take or leave, we don't have their source code, unfortunately.)
Right after flashing reboot to RECOVERY (not system). Can do with fastboot command or by holding button as usual. Alternative: reboot to recovery image file itself.
Once in recovery, format data (the option that has to type "yes" ). Reboot to RECOVERY again. Wipe cache, dalvik.
Reboot to system. Probably will work if your custom ROM was flashed properly.
Otherwise you can do everything again and also reflash ROM.
EDIT: I missed the Magisk part. So, while in recovery, dirty flash same custom ROM again. Or alternative: rename the Magisk file to uninstall.zip and flash it....this will restore your original boot and completely clean Magisk.
After you properly booting to system, then you can again try install Magisk.
why does flashing TWRP and booting to it directly work? i don't know! but it worked!
it seems that the custom ROM i installed is probably corrupt and flashed anyway ( i reflashed dirty/clean to make sure ) thanks for your help.

Symptoms: Tablet hangs on Asus logo or continuously reboots to the Asus logo, never to Android. When you try to enter TWRP recovery, it hangs on the TeamWin logo and then attempts to reboot Android, going back to the bootloop.
I wanted to find a different method to solve this issue without having to erase all partitions manually. This is what worked for me.
You will lose all data on the tab regardless of how you fix it.
You'll need these files (and the Android SDK, or at least fastboot)

Put the recovery img in your fastboot folder. The ROM, gapps, and SuperSU go on your external microSD.
Flash the recovery with fastboot-don't forget the .img at the end

You should see a blue progress bar on the tab while writing. When it's finished reboot to recovery.
Format "/data and /data/media"
Flash the ROM, SUperSU and gapps.
Wipe cache
Reboot. CWM will ask to reinstall su on exit, answer No
Once the ROM is up and running, you can flash whatever recovery and ROM you prefer.
Hello guys,
I'm having trouble trying to install a Custom ROM (Tresk Mod, but I get it with others too)
So basically some days ago my whole Internal Storage got encrypted so I had to a full wipe.
From there I decided to use Msmtools just in case, so I got back to OOS 5.1.5 from there I updated to OOS 9.0.5 via OTA and unlock the bootloader and install TWRP everything works fine.
But when I tried to install any custom ROM I either cannot boot and just boots to Bootloader (Not even the recovery works) and I get "Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error" which I can fix fastboot flashing all the partitions...
Or I straight get a black screen with the White Notifications LED whenever I try to boot either to system or recovery and from there I can only recover using Msmtools...
So I'm now asking, what are the steps for flashing Custom ROMs now?? Because seems like I'm doing something wrong since I'm ending having a Bricked device...
try to flash rom with bluespark recovery
Nothing changed that I'm aware of, but I found that I'll have the same experience if I try to root before booting the system at least once rootless first. Also, I have issues like that whenever I keep TWRP (even Blu Spark) installed. Now I only use it via sideload every time. I never have issues anymore.

I did the following:
1. Upgraded from 5.1.5 to 9.0.5 (Since I was coming from Msmtools fix)
2. Unlock bootloader
3. Reboot to system and then boot again to bootloader for doing (fastboot boot TWRP.xxx.img)
4. Once in the recovery flash recovery and Magisk (just because) and back to system (where everything was working perfectly)
5. Rebooted to recovery and did the following:
Factory Reset (The one that you slide which should wipe Cache, Dalvik and Data)
Flashed the ROM (HavocOS 2.5) and right after that TWRP
And at this point I tried to reboot back to recovery but black screen and cannot boot to recovery nor system not even via fastboot
Is your order different? Am I missing something?

You have to install twrp.zip again after havoc, boot Back Into Recovery and then gapps and magisk

Agreed. Always reboot from recovery to recovery after flashing a new one (TWRP). THEN, go ahead and flash gapps and magisk.

I finally figured it out
The problem was that as I was updating via OTA OOS 9.0.5 was only installed in one Slot so I need to install it in the other as well.
Did the following process:
1. Boot to Bootloader and do "fastboot boot TWRP.img"
2. From there flash TWRP.zip and Reboot back to it (Recovery)
3. Flash OOS Latest (9.0.5)
4. Flash TWRP
5. Reboot to TWRP
6. Flash OOS Latest (9.0.5)
7. Flash TWRP
8. Reboot to TWRP
9. Wipe data, dalvik cache
10. Flash ROM
11. Flash TWRP
12. Reboot to TWRP
13. Flash gapps + Misc (Magisk, etc)
14. Boot system
Technically just one 1 installation should do as the other slot was already populated but the twice just to be safe.
Can anyone tell me what is the reason for the failure to flash the third-party ROM? The phone has been unlocked, and the twrp that was swiped is twrp-3.3.1-24-I01WD-Q-mauronofrio.img. The method I swiped in is to double-clear and then select the rom to flash in. The flash is successful but the system cannot be restarted Boot, can only be stuck in fastboot, seek solutions
There are a couple of similar threads from people with similar problems. Have a look and see if you can solve your issue. If not, feel free to ask again and provide more detailed information about what you did and what did not work.
Unofficial twrp can be successfully brushed in with adb, and the success rate is also high. The probability of official twrp brushing in is greater, but it can also be brushed in, but the official twrp brush third-party rom is easy to fail, the reason is unclear, unofficial twrp brush It is easy to succeed in the third-party rom, but why can't the boot be stuck in fastboot after the unofficial twrp is flashed into the rom?
Because zenfone6 is the ab partition, I think this may be the main reason for not booting. Is it possible that the two partitions are not flashed into the system, and only one partition is flashed into the system, so it will not boot!
I flashed in the rom twice and couldn't boot. The specific method of flashing the phone is: the mobile phone system is the latest system, first use adb to flash into the unofficial twrp (twrp-3.3.1-24-I01WD-Q-mauronofrio.img), flash in Successfully, the phone automatically enters twrp, and then flashes the unofficial twrp in zip format again (twrp-3.3.1-24-I01WD-installer-mauronofrio.zip), restart twrp, click wipe, and swipe to complete. Click lnstall, select rom, and swipe to complete, and click wipe again to complete the slide. Click lnstall, select rom to complete the flashing, click to restart the system, the phone cannot boot, only fastboot.
The above method can not boot, I connected the phone to the computer and re-brushed into twrp with adb. Note: When I first flashed into twrp, the phone did not restart to twrp, but booted to the official system to restore the factory interface, etc. After the operation of the mobile phone is completed, boot up and enter the desktop. I turned on the USB debugging. At this time, the mobile phone can enter the unofficial twrp. Then I flashed into the rom again, and then did not restart the system. I restarted twrp, but the mobile phone reached fastboot again. What I thought was Restart twrp when flashing for the first time, flash once, so that both partitions can flash into the system, but twrp cannot be restarted, only fastboot!
Guiqiu you guys to solve my problem, can't the phone be broken?
Guys!!! what the hell!
i did everyting was written in here. Bootloader unlock, everything ok, flashed twrp, flash vbeta.img then flash any rom but the phone never boot! still go always and alwasy again to recovery!!!
What am i missing?
Format data in twrp.then reboot
I've done everything. Format everything ecc but nothing has changed...still no boot and recovery immediately.
I've tried to put the stock recovery again and it boots (i flashed of course via twpr the c.01 RUI ozip file before). I really can't understand.
I've tried to root the phone but again problem. I put the twrp recovery again (on the C.01 stock rom) then flashed magisk 20.1 or the latest. Everything ok, rebooted and....it says the boot img is corrupted, write or go to the service support! So i entered again in fastboot and flashed a new boot.img. No boot but can enter recovery. Put again the twrp, flashed stock rom again, put stock recovery, format data and now eveyrhing ok. Why so hard to even root???
Did you check format data on right bottom of twrp.this is not same as the wiping data
i made all format.
another curious stuff is. I put twrp, vbeta img . Reboot in twrp. ok. I reboot phone, go to RUI then i try to go again in recovery and .....no more twrp! but stock one! twrp has been replaced! why!!!!!?
Correct,Stock rom will replace twrp to stock recovery.but custom rom not changing recovery
I was doing the same mistake.
You must Format Data after flashing Rom and if on reboot to system it says Os not installed then first reboot to recovery.

uhm ok.
So basically - Flash twrp - go to twrp - flash rom (pixel experience for example) - format data - and then reboot to recovery again?? what's the point sorry
oh man i missed up the format stuff.
Thank you very much. I made it. After format data then i insalled the pixel experience rom via adb sideload now it started let's see hows it the modding rom world on this device!
I followed all those steps. My phone boots, stays on Lineage logo for 4-5 minutes and then it reboots back to orange recovery. Any idea? Thanks!
I have a Redmi note 8 with MIUI 12 installed. Bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted.
When I try to flash TWRP recovery in fastboot mode using my PC, it successfully flashes and boots into the TWRP recovery. TWRP does not ask for any password for decrypting the files, and when I go to install>sdcard then the storage is all in random letters, completely unrecognizable.
I have tried a lot of tutorials on youtube but none of them worked. I tried flashing the latest version of TWRP, didn't work. I tried formatting all data and rebooting back into recovery mode, didn't work. (if you reboot to system after installing TWRP, the phone automatically deletes TWRP and the next time you open recovery mode you just get the default MI recovery, and you have to flash TWRP again to open TWRP recovery.) I tried almost everything on the internet but none of it worked. Is there any way I can make it ask for the decryption password? or have my files decrypted? I just need the TWRP for a one-time-use to install a custom ROM. I don't need it to be installed permanently, but no problem even if it does get installed permanently. I just want my custom ROM.
Please help
does that work?:
Boot into twrp, then
Code:
adb shell
twrp decrypt myPassword
(myPassword is your user password)

Okay, interessting. What's the exact error?
However, since you only want to use twrp to flash a custom OS, you could try to boot twrp (without flashing)
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
and then wipe data via twrp and then install your custom OS. You can use sideload which should be located under "advanced" I guess.
Code:
adb sideload myCustomOS.zip
EDIT: Don't boot out of twrp before sideloading, since your os should encrypt everything again after wiping which makes it unpossible for twrp to decrypt again (at least in your case, since it failed for some reason).
If you booted out of twrp, just wipe again and then sideload.
the correct and recommend way to install TWRP is
Flash TWRP
Erase userdata partition <~ it's important to do this as soon as possible since booting your device would just encrypt everything again
Format userdata partition
by doing this you would be able to access data partition files and folder would not be random letters.

Sorry for the late reply. Earlier i just gave up on installing the custom ROM and continued with my stock from. Today a tried again, installed TWRP and turns out it is not showing random letters now. its all regular storage. i didn't even do anything to decrypt it lol it just fixed itself. Now I will install the room myself. Thank you for your help though
Ah sh** here we go again. So i installed the custom rom successfully and everything worked fine, the TWRP too. but when I tried to flash a magisk patched image (the image that I used to root my phone in MIUI) then it got stuck in the boot screen. I had to flash the stock fastboot rom again.. And as expected from my piece of **** that xiaomi calls a phone, TWRP will show encrypted folders, and does not ask for a password. Same problem. Rooted my phone again, using the magisk root image, and it worked like usual, the phone rooted. Now i am stuck again in this bs. I guess I will wait for about 4-5 days and continue using the phone like normal. Maybe it will work again this time. I will try your method here first

Okay i tried wiping the data, cache and dalvik but it shows a huge essay of "error opening xxx/xxxx" in red text. Data wipe failed.
See you after like 4-5 days... hopefully
Update. I finally found a solution. It took literal hours of experimenting to find this.
-Flashed the fastboot ROM of the phone
-Rooted the phone by flashing magisk patched image
-Flashed Inception kernel via FK kernel manager
-Rebooting after flashing the kernel, It will get stuck in a black screen with no text whatsoever (probably a bootloop)
-Installed TWRP (This time TWRP does not show encrypted letters), Wiped all data, Transferred the custom ROM zip to the phone (while in TWRP) and flashing the rom
-The rom is flashed successfully. On the first reboot you get greeted with another bootloop. Fortunately the phone booted into TWRP. This time the folders are encrypted again.
-Successfully wiped the data (advanced>wipe data). No errors in data wiping this time.
-A fully working Corvus OS setup appears on rebooting.
I think the whole TWRP problem was fixed by the custom kernel. Anyways I am finally done with this now. You probably enjoyed seeing all this xD

I like that you keep trying and finding a solution, even though you had to invest hours to make it work!
Let's hope it will work if you update the OS though – I'd actually suggest a backup of all of your data before you do an update in the future, just to be safe!

tell me how to turn off a smartphone with a non-working sensor?
you can still use adb push command from pc to transfer files to your phone :
adb push "nameoffile" /sdcard
(place the file in your adb folder) I was able to root a phone that had this issue using this technique.
I think u should flash dm verity becoz when i flashed the rom and flashed dm verity it worked fine
