does anyone have some step by step instructions to flash the A12 Roms?
Im getting really confused with the thin instructions to hand/
I have flashed a device more than a year ago but dont remember the steps.
I cant tell whether they are being flashed via TWRP, Magisk etc.
Please assist as my device is stuck on A10 and Ill like to update to a newer Rom
TIA Bart

Hi guys. Please bear with me - I am a noob to rooting phones and custome recoveries. I haven't had an android device since ~2011, so I need some time to get reacquainted. (Poke fun at me for using iPhones)
Either way, I recently got a 5" Google Pixel and have been looking for a decent guide to root it. I have done research on the topic, but I can't find a straightforward guide or instruction list. I believe I could do it, I just don't want to risk bricking a $700 device.
From my understanding, I need to unlock the boot loader, adb boot some custom recovery image, then install the latest root package. Again, if my jargon is confusing I apologize - I've beeb with the Jailbreaking community for quite a while and haven't tweaked an android device forever.
Could someone link a guide or help me out? Also I have been reading places that you must flash the supersu zip to two different locations for it to work properly.
In the end, I'm hoping to have my Pixel rooted on the most recent firmware and be able to use Adaway and to be able to update with FlashFire (I think that's the name). Also, I'm hoping to keep systemless root to avoid tripping SafetyNet. I would like to be able to easily update.
Thanks in advance guys, sorry for the long post. Hopefully someone more knowledgable can take me under their wing.

That's the procedure. I booted TWRP Alpha 2 for installing SuperSU, so that I didn't need to worry about the popup that sometimes doesn't show up on TWRP RC1. The following seems somewhat verbose to me, but it's the correct procedure and includes videos if you want to watch someone do each step. You don't need to download the TWRP zip, so like noted, you can stop at step 12 on the TWRP instructions and avoid installing TWRP to the phone.

Your phone isn't a Oneplus One, go to Oneplus 6 forum.
Flash a rom from there... Now it won't bootloop for sure
Hi everyone!
I wanted to finally flash a custom ROM on my G930F (vanilla, with the latest official update) and started by installing TWRP (twrp-3.3.1-0-herolte.img.tar) via Odin (3.13.1) following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/recovery-official-twrp-herolte-t3333770.
Everything was going smoothly until step 9, because after swiping right I tried rebooting before flashing anything (found a thread on Reddit advising to just follow the guide without proceeding with rooting as indicated in the last steps). So now I'm stuck in a bootloop and I have no idea what to do, I can only access Download mode but that's it.
How do I solve this problem?
Step 10 included scenarios for both if you want root, or if you just want to boot successfully
Did you download and flash the dm-verity and force encryption disabler zip as per the step 10?
Repeat steps 6-10 and flash that zip

Thanks for answering!
Yes I figured out, installed TWRP via Odin again and then tried flashing that thing without wiping as shown in the video, but then I got some error messages and the device wouldn't boot up again, telling me I had to do a wipe. So I just went into recovery and did a factory reset.
Now I'd like to flash LineageOS but I'm not so sure anymore since I've had so many problems, and I have a few questions:
Do I need to reinstall TWRP?
Do I need root?
What version of LineageOS should I download?
Is there a guide for flashing LineageOS on the S7?

Do I need to reinstall TWRP?
No TWRP will remain until you remove it or flash stock firmware.
Do I need root?
Not required to flash custom Rom's but useful
What version of LineageOS should I download?
Look at the ROM section and read up on which one you want, there are several different ones and builds so the choice is yours.
Is there a guide for flashing LineageOS on the S7?
There is always a guide contained in the post for the ROM usually at the beginning. The process of flashing Rom's is generally the same no matter what Rom you use.
I have followed these instructions (https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3/how-to/guide-patching-boot-img-magisk-canary-t3964359) step by step... after step 8 however I could not get out of the fastboot. the device is not recognized anymore...
I hope someone can help me

Hi, this error appears due to the fact that in the guide for installing magisk there is an old link to the latest system image, and since you now have the latest version of the system, you are simply flashing an older kernel to a newer system, today you also encountered this problem, the decision is banal.
First, you need to download the latest image on the official website of the manufacturer (you have it installed at the moment), get the kernel from this image and flash it through the fastboot, then patch this kernel image in the magisk, and only after that flash the patched kernel. I will slightly simplify your task at the moment, but after the next update you will have to do all the steps yourself.
ust flash this image through the fastboot in boot slot. patched boot.img
I need a little direction on what my next step should be for obtaining root and twrp on my device.
As it states in the title, I just unlocked bootloader on my Sprint\Tmo OnePlus 8 5G.
I want to root and install TWRP, ultimately.
What I THINK I know so far in what I need to do next:
Obtain root (I need a good walkthrough on this as well)
Back up persist.img
Back up boot.img
Install magisk?
Patch boot.img with magisk?
Install TWRP via magisk?
Flash rom via twrp or magisk depending on rom requirements?
As you might see, I'm a little confused.
Can someone clarify the process for my specific adventure? Again, it's and freshly BL Unlocked Spront\Tmo OnePlus 8 5G on 10.5.21.IN55CB software.

As you can see it's read through a number of them but it all feels jumbled.
There's not one coherent guide that I could find. Could someone link me a complete guide to rooting this device?
