You really dont need to re-lock bootloader. You could have just downloaded and flashed through twrp and then flash supersu. But i am not sure why it is failing on your end.

Same thing here, always installation failed

Try a different type c cable.. Apparently, I was having this issue
Op3t original cable : Android auto and adb side load works perfectly on my op3
But when used on op3t, android auto cannot detect and side load of ota fails.
Used the original cable from Google Nexus 6p, Android auto works perfectly but I didn't try side load adb because I already flash via TWRP instead.
Try changing cables

Found a FIX!
its sort of a long process if anyone is interested lmk sorry would post but doont know if anyone cares

I too had the same problem. Can you explain me how to get that?

sure @kabeeradam so what you need to do or atleast what worked for me was go all stock recovery and rom and had bootloader locked too.
flash the beta rom from oneplus through sideload then flash the stable rom from oneplus then do the normal ota update and it should work. lmk for any other info also sorry if it looks like a mess this is my first time explaining these types of things. hope it helps

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.

It's case by case, and I don't know which one is good for you. Do some research and figure out yourself.

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...

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.
Sorry but you may have to wait someone who has already done it

Cannot install TWRP on Mi Mix

Hi!
I recently bought a Mi Mix and want to flash it with Lineage OS.
I followed all relevant instructions - did unlock the bootloader and so on - but I am not able to install TWRP using ADB and fastboot.
The phone is connecting well in ADB - even the "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" gets a positive response - all seems to work fine. But after rebooting, I am always confronted with the stock recovery - the flashing so seems not to work out of some reason - TWRP gets removed during the reboot process.
I also tried to first flash and then use the "fastboot boot twrp.img" command. This command starts TWRP, but only in a frozen state - TWRP then starts in a way that you are not able to interact with the interface. Also here - after rebooting the stock recovery is there again. Can someone give me a hint, how to solve this problem?
I am running ADB on a Linux Computer (Debian 9) - dont think, that this might cause issues, but maybe....
The phone runs the MIUI-Version "MIUI Global 9.1 Stable"
It would be great, if someone here could help me out. I am somehow stuck and dont know how to proceed..
Thanks for taking the time!

You can find two compatible versions of TWRP here.

Thanks Gavin!
Just out of curiosity - can you explain me, why the official TWRP Versions are not working and the ones you did post are good?

Touch has never worked on the official versions to my knowledge. Even the latest 3.2.1.0 build still has broken touch. It is still usable if you use a USB adapter/mouse, but not via touch.

Dear Gavin! Your TWRP file worked great.
But I have no another issue that seems to be common with the Mi Mix - the media sound is not working anymore. Notification and phone works fine but music and video is gone. I just was reading that you should update the firmware. Are the other files added in the link you did send by chance the relevant firmware files?

Thanks guys - the device works fine now. You saved my day!
There is one thing left. I still cannot initiate TWRP manually - have to use ADB for this. Once TWRP is started, I cannot reach the devices harddisk anymore from my computer. Thats no issue now, but might cause issues in the future. Any idea how to solve this?

No. It happened with my device as well. You cannot mount your internal storage on your PC. I've tried many different versions of TWRP and none have allowed access. I'm not quite sure why ... I had other devices in the past and it always worked. On the Mi mix however, it does not. So just turn on your phone and transfer what you need to or adb sideload it.

No. I don't believe that he did James. Does it work for you? because it never worked for me either. I've tried all the different versions of TWRP and it didn't do a thing. Also I have no passwords or encryption. I'm sure of this. Maybe I'm also doing something wrong and that's why I can't Mount my internal storage while in TWRP recovery?
I don't use the official TWRP because for some reason the official versions of TWRP offered for the Mi Mix are broken. The touchscreen never works and I don't have an external controller or anything else to make it work other than the phones screen. So I've used the custom versions that have been fixed and re-released on XDA.

Well its strange cause there are thousands using it for over a year now. Maybe you have always been encrypted. Which ROM are you using, I mean you haven't still got the vendor fake ROM, any updates?

That's very odd. I'm not quite sure what to tell you. I know for a fact though that my device is not encrypted. I'm currently running RR without any password/pattern. Before installing RR I was on stock OS and still no password/pattern. I live alone and so I don't feel the need to use a password on my phone. So ever since I've purchased this phone I've never had a password on it.
No updates as far as I'm aware on the RR.
Does it Mount for you? If so, what TWRP are you using on your device?

I've used the same 1 from the beginning, smarty, I just followed the guide in the guide section how to remove vendor ROM. I use Linux it works fine. Everyone thought they had official ROM in the beginning only to find out it was vendor ROM. What about using mtp to send files, maybe that's what I did, can't even remember.

Wow. Well you're lucky tbh. I can't seem to figure out why mine doesn't connect. I'm not sure what the difference is between the vendor (ROM) and the "stock" (ROM) - I know I was using the global stable (ROM) that's what my phone first came with and it was running 6.0 MM.
Yes, I have tried to use MTP while in TWRP and it doesn't do anything. My computer does detect something but doesn't show the phone to be connected or anything. I have even tried to mount it in the options but nothing. I know I have all drivers installed and does not make a difference. I'm running Windows 10 not Linux.

Question [NE2215] OxygenOs 13 C.19 (After OTA Issues)

Before updating android i read that there could be some bugs despite being a stable rom. however, what is happening with my device is that it is apparently not charging.
Yesterday it was at 30% battery... When I tried some things with fastboot enhance, it showed up with 79%. That is, maybe it is loading, but the system is not recognizing it.
Is there any solution for this? Or would I have to go back to android 12?
Original charger!

Okay, I'll explain from the beginning. I was on rom 11 c.16 and had root access.
I unrooted completely and flashed the new C.19 version. I don't remember if I reset the device before putting the new version... After I updated, I rooted it again correctly...
(i downloaded full version c.19 by oxygen update app and flashed it by fastboot enhance)
I didn't realize it at the time, but I believe that since I updated the cell it didn't appear that it was charging anymore.
Finally, I was trying to go back to the previous rom (Hopefully that would solve it)... Following the steps in fastboot enhance... as soon as I clicked on reboot to fastboot, the device entered the mode and appeared with the battery at 79% whereas it was at 30%.
Since then I tried to reset through recovery mode and via OS as well but none of them worked.

Ok so avoid fastboot enhance. You really don't need that..
Rollback to 12 with the local APK and relevant rollback package..then update, then wipe, then root.
No idea why it's happened but it seems quite fixable and almost certainly something to do with the base change from 12 to 13.

From what I've seen the NA and Global versions work equally. Wait for it to finish now and see what happens
This is now the NA version of Rollback

The title of the thread is 2215 which is the NA version, the Global misnomer comes from one of their own posts though iirc.
@Diguinho76 The NA rollback full zip is your best bet right now.

Same as on Android 12. That was the one with the issue decrypting in custom recovery.

Can't you just fix boot.img with Magisk and then fastboot flash it?

Yep.

so, i bought my new redmi note 10 pro yesterday.
its on android 12, miui 13. and it asks me to upgrade.
i havent upgraded yet, thinking maybe rooting it with twrp and all, would be difficult.
Should i keep the current version and root it. or am i ok to upgrade it and then rooting it?
seeing this thread, it seems like im ok with upgrading and rooting. but want to make sure.

Wait the days until you are unlocked, in case something borks during that procedure.

thank you for replying.
well, i couldn't wait, considering the new update is lighter and better. so i just updated it and everything went smooth. What is the best way of rooting it? i mean, should i go with or without the twrp. any bugs with the twrp. or is there any better recovery to flash.

I'd just fix boot.img with Magisk to root. TWRP is mostly just for flashing different roms, and our phones use 2 different touch screens, so your might not even work in TWRT.

I have been using TWRP on every device i have rooted. i just love the TWRP recovery. because, as you said, it allows me to flash different kind of roms and it allows me to backup my current rom.
i am probably not going to flash any custom roms on this device, but i would like to have the opportunity to backup my current rom for flashing it later on if needed.
Will i be able to do this with the fixed boot.img and Magisk?
