dm verity (red)

I want do clean install so I evrything wipe expect user data. And there problems started. I haven't installed twrp, this warning shows up and i can't root device on 4.0.2 and 4.1.6. Aslo i can't install roms by sideload (?)
I tried full wipe data - don't work. I was looking in the forum Oneplus any tutorial didin't work.
I tried this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/fix-dm-verity-warning-final-fix-4-0-3-t3555094 to remove warning. It works but after update from 4.0.2 to 4.1.6 warning screen again came back. It started after updating 4.1.6 to 4.1.7.
If you can slowe this problem I will be grateful. And i sorry for my engilsh

If you want a "clean" install, user data is the most important thing to wipe; as it is the mostly likely thing to cause problem (on a new ROM, etc.).
Not related to the other issues you mentioned. But important to note, anyway.

I'm confused. If you haven't installed TWRP, how you are trying to root? You need TWRP, in order to root.
Also, sideload can be more problematic than just flashing a ROM in TWRP. My suggestion, would be to stop messing around, and just flash TWRP.
* I wanted to write that After installing update 4.1.6 as well as on the factory as a TWRP warning appears.
*On TWRP can't root device, TWRP think the su ZIP archives od broken.
*And TWRP by bluetooth Spark can't decrypt device (my old password od bot working )
Device works fine by In addition to the aforementioned problems
Hi,
As I have to send back my 3T for RMA, I spendt almost two nights with reading lots of guides about how to remove that red warning. The usual methods (flashing 4.0.2 FW and trying "dm_verity_disable/enable" with fastboot or reboot with "enforce_dm_verity", etc..) did not work at all. I ended up by this way:
- With 4.1.6 ROM flash TWRP (boot into bootloader, "fastboot flash recovery <filename>"
- In bootloader "fastboot format userdata" (this will remove encryption)
- Reboot to recovery (don't let the OS boot, otherwise you can start again)
- Flash SuperSU 2.79 (don't ask why, I guess this is needed for the encryption removal as well)
- Reboot to OS, check that encrytion is removed (in security settings, at the bottom you should see "Encrypt phone" instead of "Phone encrypted")
- Reboot recovery, flash OOS 3.5.4
- Reboot to OS, now the red warning should be removed
- Encrypt your phone (optional, if you like that way)
- Download 4.1.6 OOS image on the phone and use System update in the settings with local update to get back to 4.1.6
You should have 4.1.6 now without the red warning. If you want to get rid of the orange warning as well, you can flash the stock recovery and lock the bootloader back.
After that my phone was like an original one... With leaving some of these steps out, I always got failed..
I wrote this by memory (performed that yesterday), so it's possible I forgot something, but feel free to write a PM and I try to help. Of course the process will wipe all your data, so backup everything you need...

Can you link for your SuperSU zip and TWRP?

TWRP for Oneplus 3T
SuperSU 2.79 for Oneplus 3T
After flashing su zip I want to check if I have encrypted phone and boot frozen.
So I go to recovery and install 4.1.6 rom and i get information "Error opening: '/data/system/ndebugsocet' no such file or directory"
Again something went wrong
Edit: Somehow I just install 4.0.2 (again bootloop), and stock recovery (i booted to recovery 2 times and on second try recovery ask me for password(?) so i wiped device). Everything was fine expect dm verity. At this point I give up. So having everything stock i just use ota (4.0.2>4.1.6) and this was probobly the key for success.
In the evening I will try root my device and see if everything is good.

Have you flashed TWRP and 3.5.4 first? Have you used bootloader with "fastboot format userdata" before flashing supersu (remembering that after this, normal boot should not start before supersu is flashed)?
Also I am not sure if flashing 3.5.4 image will update the firmware as well, but for safety, you might try to flash that as well: Oneplus 3T Firmware collection
I didn't flash 3.5.4 at all, just 4.0.2. I used "fastboot format userdata" in bootloader. And then there was a problem (boot loop.). And after that i booted into recovery(I had then stock) asked me for password )At this point I did not have any) so I wiped my device again (recovery suggest it). The device turned on normally, but still i had dm verity. Finally I updated by OTA to 4.1.6 and dm verity screen was gone.
At this point I install TWRP and rooted, without any problem.
So i think fix for this situation was going back to full stock and use OTA. (Again sorry for my English, I trying my best)

Have you installedMagisk v15.x on Samsung S7 G930F?

I soft bricked my G930FD when going from v14.0 to v15 using the in-app update but got it back by dirty flashing my stock ROM thanks to the help I got here.
Now I'd like to install the latest Magisk to get root back but despite reading a lot of threads where people solved similar issues going to v15 on Samsung devices and following their suggestions, I can't get Magisk to work and always get stuck on boot, either a boot loop, or more often, the pulsating Samsung logo.
If I try using the patched_boot.img.tar method with v15.3, which is technique I used originally to install v14.0, then I get stuck at the the pulsating Samsung logo. If I use TWRP to flash the v15.3 zip, I get a boot loop. At that point, flashing the stock boot.img allows me to boot or if I flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 then I get to the pulsating Samsung logo. I did select 'Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity' in Magisk Manager.
I also tried again with a clean stock ROM install and flashed the v15.3 zip and immediately flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0, as suggested by someone who'd successfully installed v15.3 on an S7, but again, stuck at the pulsating Samsung logo.
One clue perhaps, TWRP couldn't see the internal SD card data (iow /data). I wasn't able to check this option in the 'Mount' menu in TWRP either. I think this points to /data being encrypted. TWRP could see it before I dirty flashed the ROM, so perhaps I've inadvertently encrypted this. I was careful to uncheck 'Preserve force encryption' in Magisk Manager , which seemed to default on.
I'm at a bit of a loss so would really appreciate it if you can tell me how to get up and running with Magisk v15 on my Samsung Galaxy S7 if you've managed this yourself.
Can anyone share how they've done this?

[SOLVED!] Can't install Magisk without bootloop

Scroll down over this post to see anwer!
Hey there! I just got my Xiaomi Mi8 from HK Goldway at Aliexpress. It came with its bootloader already unlocked and a Global ROM flashed.
I wanted to install Magisk but failed horribly . I've already done that to several phones (my last one was a Moto X Play, and it worked without major complications). But with this one, it seems I can't get past the bootlogo.
Stock Fastboot image used:
dipper_global_images_V9.5.13.0.OEAMIFA_20180714.0000.00_8.1_global
This is what I've tried so far:
First try
Flashed TWRP for Mi8 version 0711.
Flashed Magisk.
Got a bootloop.
Reflashed stock image via Fastboot.
Second try
Booted (not flashed) TWRP.
Tried to install latest global weekly from this thread.
Also got a bootloop.
Reflashed stock image via Fastboot.
Third try
I thought that those flashable ZIP firmwares were too small for them to be a full-fledged OS. So I went and downloaded this other one. Global version.
I read somewhere that I needed to format data before flashing a new image, so I did.
Booted TWRP.
Formated data (not Wipe)
Installed that ZIP from TWRP and booted correctly.
Booted TWRP again and flashed Magisk.
Got bootloop.
Back to stock image via fastboot.
Last try
Booted TWRP.
Formatted data.
Installed MIUI via TWRP.
Without rebooting, flashed Magisk and no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip.
This got past bootlogo ("Unlocked" message changed to "powered by Android") but got stuck there. Not booting at all.
Right now I'm back to the last try, booting MIUI successfully but without Magisk nor no-verity-opt-encrypt.
I kinda have no more ideas left. I understand this is a new device but I can't understand why people claim the have been able to install Magisk and I can't! Other thoughts were, maybe they were running MIUI 10 Beta and it only works with that version? I'm unsure about that.
Can someone lend me a hand? What am I missing?
Thank you!!
EDIT: FIX!
Over here, user @richardyusan helped me out with an extra step.
What I did:
Installed Magisk V16.7.
Installed DM-VERITY AND FORCED ENCRYPTION DISABLER.
Performed fastboot format userdata.
Rebooted.
And I got my phone booting with Magisk Installed!
Even though I couldn't install any module, (every install claimed I needed Magisk v15+). I read some threads and with a Magisk Direct re-install (from its app) I got Magisk downgraded to v16 and everything worked perfectly!
Hope this works out for everyone having this problem!
have you tried to use Magisk 16.4,

Thank you for the fast reply!
I followed that guide and tried these steps:
fastboot boot mi8-twrp-3.2.2.img
Unencrypted via Pattern
Flashed Magisk v16.4 + DM verity disabler file
Reboot
But I'm still stuck at "powered by Android" bootlogo.
Normally it boots within 5 seconds but now it's taking forever. I'll wait a few minutes to see what happens.
I'm attaching some screenshots of the install process.

Ok,
but if you install Magisk 16.4, don't install also DM verity disabler.
DM verity disabler is needed if you don't want to root (see poin 14 in the linked guide).
Hope it works...

If I only flash Magisk 16.4, then phone shows "Powered by Android" and instantly reboots into stock recovery.
Only way to get it back booting, is performing fastboot flash boot boot.img from stock dipper_global_images_V9.5.13.0.OEAMIFA_20180714.0000.00_8.1_global image
I read somewhere about official and unofficial bootloader unlock. I didn't unlock the bootloader myself. Maybe it has something to do with it?
PS: Anyone had any luck using Magisk with MIUI 9.5.13?
Did you try with a newer magisk version ? ... 16.7 was released 15 day ago
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
Direct link: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v16.7/Magisk-v16.7.zip
It´s a good practice to use magisk_uninstaller before flash new one if you had problems.

I just tried that. Uninstalling and re-installing v16.7. Although it seems now it's doing a few more steps, I'm still getting the recovery bootloop.

Exactly that. Maybe we'll need to wait for a supported Magisk version. I'm still wondering what's the difference between our Mi8's that some can get Magisk working and some not. ?
I am running Magisk stable and tmiui 10 from Xiaomi. Eu without any problems.
I have a Mi 8 se and i install the eu rom boot the phone , reboot to twrp wipe and factory reset and installed magisk 16.4 .this is how works for me
i have the same problem too..when using china stable rom 16.7 magisk can be installed successfully tried many times...
flashing global version seems to have this issue...
tried all this steps too but no luck in global rom...

Well maybe the critical step is to wipe everything, including System.
Did you Format anything instead of Wipe this last try?
Also, could you please share a link from that working MIUI rom?

I just checked and no. If I go to Google Settings -> Voice, Voice Match is disabled because "This feature is currently unavailable for this language". Even though it's set to English UK. Maybe there is some Magisk Module to enable it?
Thanks, followed these steps and it got magisk going on the recent global release. Only difference was i had to use fastboot erase userdata.

Recover data from soft-bricked (bootloop) phone

Background:
Went to update Magisk via TWRP, phone now bootloops (and gets really hot when charging).
Before I go ahead with flashing an older firmware, to try and get it running again, I was wondering if there was any way of retrieving data from the phone?
I can still boot into TWRP without issue, although I did notice if i go to Install and select source, Internal Storage shows as empty, while External is fine.
Failing data recovery, any suggestions for unbricking it without wiping anything? I've tried un/reinstalling Magisk via TWRP, wiping data/cache/dalvik, but no luck so far.
Thanks
I know where i ****ed up now. By flashing Magisk directly from TWRP.
Tried reflashing it via the guide on page one:
"Instructions for Root Access"
A) Workaround for flashing Magisk with TWRP – for Advanced Users:
Now getting past the warning screen, but not past the Huawei logo.
Going to try remove Magisk altogether, and see if it boots up. If so, will install Magisk again.
Flashed original ramdisk.img and it now shows the boot animation, but doesn't get past there....progress i guess.

Having trouble with TWRP error 1 "Cannot mount /system"

Hello, everyone!
I hope anyone can help me.
Yesterday I assisted with rooting and flashing a Mi 9 T Pro with Xiaomi.eu firmware.
Here are the steps which were done:
1. Unlocking bootloader via MiFlash Tool.
2. Flashing TWRP (this one: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117906979)
3. First trouble: It only booted once into TWRP with "fastboot boot recovery xxx.img, after formatting data and a restart of TWRP it refused to get access again, neither with a command nor with hardware keys. It was stuck in fastboot.
4. With the MiFlash Tool I reverted to the stock global (this one: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.1.0....M_20190805.0000.00_9.0_global_135788d537.tgz)
5. After successfully flashing the stock ROM, I downloaded and flashed this TWRP: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962577905
6. Flashing this version of TWRP went perfectly fine.
7. In TWRP I formatted data again. I restarted TWRP and copied the following files to storage:
ROM: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962578113
Magisk 19.2.zip
Disable_dm verity_ForceEncrypt
8. I wiped Dalvik, cache, system and data.
9. I flashed ROM - it went through without problems
10. I tried to flash the dm verity, then an error occurred (please see the attached picture).
Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Root is mandatory for me, I definitely need it.
I'm looking forward to your input and your help, it's very appreciated!

Thanks for your input. I tried that, unfortunately this didn't work.
But I found the solution a few minutes ago:
I downloaded TWRP 3.3.1-13 (one version newer) and flashed it inside of my old TWRP. I rebooted to recovery again and then flashed Magisk without problems.
(The dm verity still refuses to install but the phone is booting and running.)
Well, it always work for me, or simply reboot recovery also work. Try wzsx twrp, it has remove DM verity & forced encryption remover in advanced menu
