Twrp problem please help! - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

So let me explain the whole story, so a couple days ago i install OOS 4.0 on my Oneplus 3T and tried to root it, bearing in mind i was already rooted when i upgraded and I lost my root privileges. So then when i tried to re-root my phone it ahs come up with "dm-verity has not started in enforcing mode and may not work properly", so a bit weird but then i tried to install TWRP and when i booted into TWRP, it just stayed at flash screen of TWRP and wouldn't initialize. I have being trying ever since, factory resetting my phone, re-root etc. Please help me!
I CANNOT BOOT INTO TWRP, IF YOU WERE GOING TO SAY THAT!

Boot it into a boot loader and use this :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/development/toolkit-oneplus-3t-toolkit-unlock-t3507729
Choose option 4 and make sure you are unlocked.
Choose option 7 and wait a few moments to see if that works. If not try the UnBrick tool.

How long have you been waiting on the TWRP startup screen? You do know it takes a long time to startup using F2FS and encryption on data partition, up to a minute from what I've heard.

I'd normally wait around 5 minutes
UPDATE:So i just booted into TWRP and have been waiting around one minute and it is still on the splash screen.

It didn't work

is your bootloader locked or unlocked?

This question seems to keep repeating itself due to missing information on TWRP post about the latest official version being incompatible with OOS 4 encryption method, but that is the explanation. There is a beta release of TWRP in post 550 in that thread that is supposed to fix this.

How to root 3T on OOS4.0 ?

Hey,
I bought my phone 2 days ago, after charging it I updated to OOS4.0 through the system updates using VPN, when I got home I unlocked the bootloader but did nothing else afterwards. I'm seeing a lot of threads with people having issues with TWRP and encryption, considering my last device was the OPO and I was running Lollipop (was too lazy to update it ) I'm kinda out of the loop.
How can I root it now that it's running Nougat ? simply flashing the twrp img using fastboot and then flashing the SuperSU zip or is there a different method ?
Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.
Also, one more question, is Xposed working on Nougat ? I had quite a few useful modules on my OPO, wanted to know if that's possible on the 3T as well.
The beta builds of the TWRP which are compatible with the OOS 4.0.0 are available. You can find them from the thread.
If you want to use the Xposed modules, you should downgrade to 3.5.4.

Is it better to install this instead of SuperSU ?
If you are interested in using apps which detect root or a modified system/bootloader (Android Pay, Pokémon Go, some banking apps) then yes. Otherwise, no benefit of Magisk (v10.2) for you and may as well use SuperSU which is simpler to install.

Magisk is open source, and it is also easy to install. You can also install the Magisk modules. It's not a simple root-hide app as many people still misunderstand.
So, with oxygen 4.0.1 the procedure will be the same?
TWRP Stuck Mount password
Greetings guys..
Yesterday I got my 3T and upgraded OTA latest OxygenOS 4.0.1. I was able to unlock bootloader and install TWRP 3.0.3 but when I access bootloader the first screen ask me to provide "Decrypt password" to mount, and if I ignore and slide to start modification I don't have access to internal card (assume its READ-ONLY), just folders are visible but unable to find or install SU package.
I check all the forums but didn't find any relevant information how to get out of TWRP "Decrypt password" issue. I don't want my phone to be encrypted, so I would appreciate if you can please help me to root my 3T.
Cheers

Installed TWRP 3.0.3.1 BETA .... How long does it really take to decrypt new phone without any apps? Just to have an idea. When I started TWRP it asked for password and I used the PIN assigned to login to screen ... now going on for 5 minutes now.
Following on the screen:
Mount
Try Decryption
Updating partition details...
....done
Unable to mount storage
Full SELinux support present

I read that it takes some minutes if you are f2s and encrypted but I don't know how to proceed since I haven't flashed twrp and root yet.

OP3T Locked Bootloader Stock Rom Safety Net still fails

Hey there!
I wanted to use my banking app, so I decided to get full to stock. Before I used OxygenOS Beta 20 with Magisk.
Currently:
Stock Recovery
OxygenOS Beta 20 or OxygenOS 5 (Same Problem)
Locked Bootloader
Now with a clean OS Safety Net still fails and the Google Play Store says "not certified".
Do you have any tips to get it working again?

Did you flash all partitions (boot, recovery, cc system) including data, full wipe, before locking boot loader?

As far as I know, Yes. I know it doesnt make much sense.
I'd suggest that you unlock bootloader and then reflash, do a full wipe to be sure
Then lock again if that's the way you want to go

Try using unbrick guide if that is feasible for you. That way the error is reproducible if you still get it after the "unbrick" guide since all your partitions will be the same as ours.
Unlocked bootloader and Magisk by themselves shouldn't trip Safety Net, as long as you have Magisk Hide working. Now, that doesn't mean your specific banking app isn't doing other checks besides Safety Net (I think folks have seen this happen with some apps). But you mention Safety Net failing specifically, so I thought that worth mentioning.
Did you use the full update zip to get back to "full stock"? That would be the recommended approach, to make sure all partitions were returned to stock.

Any way to decrypt?
I tried flashing Magisk (18.1) after flashing the ROM but it didn't work.
I also tried flashing Magisk + Universal DM-Verity ForceEncrypt disabler (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389) but that gave me a bootloop.
To everyone who will rush to flash it - please don't just download and flash. Make sure you are ready for broken device, storage encryption and decryption errors, and data errors.
Make sure to take a complete backup of internal storage and then attempt to flash it using stock or twrp recovery.
Or you should rather wait til a developer figures out a way to make twrp compatible with its firmware for encryption/decryption errors
Just flash it and do a factory reset before booting rom. That will do the trick. My phone was decrypted and first boot took around 15 mins and encrypted phone.
BTW anyone tried if magisk is working on closed beta?

Magisk is working, I'm now using the closed beta with Magisk 18.1.
At first boot Magisk Manager (the application) was not installed and I had to install it manually. Also, Magisk Manager was saying that Magisk was not installed, but a reboot solved it. Now it is working perfectly.
And, if you were responding to me, I'm sorry I wasn't very clear, I wanted to keep the phone decrypted (disabling force encrypt at first boot), but I have failed and I'm using the phone encrypted at the moment.
I just installed it via stock recovery with locked bootloader... Everything is fine..

Root galaxy S10 (July security patch update)

hi to all, has anyone managed to root on galaxy s10 with the July security patch update? I tried the same method with magisk but there is nothing to do, every time it gives me a different error. In the last attempt I made during the boot phase, in the upper left corner, it was written: "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" or something like that.
You didnt do it right. I would suggest youtube the magisk rooting process
Same tried to root it
I, was able to get it to root but the camera still makes my device rebooted
And tried to do it with ap file by changing recovery inside to the patched twrp that didn't work just booted into stock recovery instead

TWRP ≠ Root.
With the latest patch the camera crashes if TWRP is flashed. With stock recovery everything should work fine.
I'm on Exynos ASG8 without any issues, except slow wifi in apps (not browser).

It is...nearly everytime Samsung throws out a new security patch TWRP is crashing the camera.
This is what I found out after having the same issue. I don't know if there's a new version for the latest patch.

Hi everyone, I'm still ASD4 and basically haven't update since because everything is a hassle these days. Now I thought maybe it's time to update, but keep reading things like this and camera, wifi bootloops problems etc.
Are these issues a real thing? or just some individual cases where it happens?
It's real like a $2 dollar bill.

I'm always afraid that I install something or make a small change and end up in a bootloop... I wish twrp and everythign work just fine like before and I could make a backup after installing a rom and doing the most basic stuff.
Since this is the first post that comes on Google for "only official released binaries" "s10".
I had this problem again and again, and it seems that it was caused by one of the reboot not being done with the correct timing with the 3 buttons.
The thing I was missing was after flashing the patched AP files (and the other files).
When you restart, keep the 3 buttons pressed until you see the blue screen and then release only power (keep vol up + bixby) to get into reset mode.
I think I didn't keep them pressed long enough.
If the device restarts, keep pressing the 3 buttons (never let it restart without pressing them).
Once the factory wipe has been done: Restart with the 3 buttons, and keep them pressed until 1 to 2 sec after the screen that asks you to press the power button to continue.

General [IMG] Boot + magisk patched boot images

Hi, I have decided to gather boot images and magisk patched images to one thread for now. I will try to edit this thread to be up-to-date. You can let me know what could you want next or if anything is wrong etc.
Stock boot.img files (direct links): ​
EU NE2213_11_A.12​
Stock boot.img - link
EU NE2213_11_A.10​
Stock boot.img - link
​Magisk patched boot.img are here a file that can be downloaded (I am using magisk canary usually, but in Magisk, you can change the channel from the canary to stable etc.) - names as the versions come. ​
Below this there are those magisk patched files which you just flash (or boot and then flash directly from the Magisk app) via fastboot ​

Apparently not. I have patched that stock boot via magisk, then via fastboot boot <patchedimage.img> booted (and also tested if it actually boots) and when it booted, via magisk app I did "Direct install (recommended)", rebooted and done.
Oh okay you had a temporary boot we that's good to know well it works that's the most important thing ain't it
Noob question I been on locked bootloader for years so haven't been in the root scene, but I have US model NE2215 I'm guessing I need to wait for the firmware to be available to get the boot img? Did I just got my phone too early? Already oem unlocked now just waiting for twrp and root info. I always wanted a OnePlus phone because the community is big, but doesn't seem like much people upgraded from 9 pro.

Yes, because this is probably and currently the most secure option to root it as we haven't got twrp available yet.

That's not that you have it early. The phone itself is early in spite of rooting and doing things like rooting, custom recoveries, ROMs etc. I currently can't find boot img for your model, but once I do, I will post it here for you with patched one.

You should wipe the phone and start all over or else you won't be able to take ota updates. Never flash the patched boot image since you bypass the magisk backup feature. You have to wait for the full update package to update if you flash the boot. Ppl have previously had update issues after flashing.

Not sure what else magisk does during the backup process, but doing what you’re describing didn’t work for users on 8T and they usually ended up soft bricking. Everyone who flashed it vice installing from magisk app had to wait for op to post the full rom or for someone to post a repacked fastboot rom to update.
You do what you need to do, I’m just giving you some experience and recommendations since you just wiped and flashed the boot.

Everyone who flashed it vice installing from magisk app had to wait for op to post the full rom or for someone to post a repacked fastboot rom to update.
You do what you need to do, I’m just giving you some experience and recommendations since you just wiped and flashed the boot.

Interesting.
I moved over from ColorOS to oxygen OS, wiped the device then just booted a patched boot img, and installed direct.
I assume I flash ota and go onto magisk and do inactive slot? Where does the issue lie what method should I have gone down?

Hmmm. Well you should be fine if you patched the boot and let magisk do the install. I only suggested wiping since you said you flashed the img from the bootloader.
You might run into the same problem I have with the 9RT. I too upgraded from color to oos and couldn’t update at all, even though I rooted from the magisk app. I had to wait for someone to make a fastboot rom. I had no problems updating color following my method, but not oos after switching. Hopefully that’s not the case for you.
