I'm trying to root and flash TWRP on the latest T-Mobile firmware (OF8) without tripping knox, but I'm not sure if TWRP is compatible with it. I don't want to flash it through Odin and have it fail then get in a bootloop/brick.
I'm using 2.8.7.1 on OF8 without issue. :good:
so am i ...
Yes its fine. I'm using on OF8 as well... You HAVE to flash a different kernel tho from what I understand to avoid the bootloop. UniKernel is what I'm using. And its FAST!
You have to flash a kernel such as Unikernel/Unibase before you start delving into the recovery. If you dont, you'll get stuck in a very annoying loop.
I was rooting my moto G 2014( XT1068 ) after updating to marshmallow after flashing TWRP my phone doesn't go to recovery it loops in TWRP please help I tried many solution and flashed other version of TWRP but didnt work
Thanx in Advance!!!
Try switching to Philz Touch or CWM Recoveries
Hey here
Im on android 7.0 and the device is galaxy s7 edge G935F and no matter what i do..... Unrooting with the managaer options or flash the magisk uninstaller in twrp it always causes a boot loop. It starts normal when i flash magisk again... it would be easy to flash a new rom but i want to keep some changes ive made while rooted so thats the problem and i read a lot of flashing the boot loader (thats the BL part in the extracted rom package right?) from the rom thats currently installed. But that would wipe everything right? Or can i somehow flash that one like i flash magisk in twrp
I wonder if here is anything i can do to unroot successfully? Cache wipe wont end the loop
As always thanks for your time and answer
With best regards
Chris
Hi all,
I have a rooted redmit note 9 that was running the stock rom (EU version i believe as i am UK based) perfectly well for several months until today when then latest over the air update installed and my phone is now stuck in a bootloop where i can only access the custom PBRP recovery (installed from when i rooted previously). I can also access fastboot. I have tried wiping all data and cache etc, i have tried reflashing the magisk patched stock rom that previously worked, i have also tried flashing vbmeta that i flashed previously but still no luck. This is my only phone so I really need to get it working again.
I was about to try re-flashing the stock rom with SP tool but it tells me the scatter file is invalid.
Not sure what else to try now. I also note that when i PBRP loads up it always asks for a password however i dont have a password on the device.
Please could someone suggest something i could try?

Thanks very much for your response. Based on your advice i tried to flash the latest Kraken 11 Vanilla rom from this fourm, however after installing via TWRP now i can't even get into recovery anymore, just goes straight to fastboot.
Any other suggestions please?
I have now managed to get back in to TWRP and tried flashing lineage latest rom but still i am stuck in a boot loop taking me to fastboot this time.
Please can someone help suggest hwo i can get my phone working agian. At this point i dont care which rom i end up (custom or stock) with as long as i can get it to function again
If your device is rooted, you can NOT update the system using the OTA (over-the-air), or the device will be stucked in bootloop.
If your device is rooted, you need to update the system MANUALLY, using the fastboot or spflashtool.
I suggest to update the system using the fastboot.
Now, you need to flash the whole MIUI again, except userdata and you will have your device back.
For anyone with a asimilar problem i eventually managed to fix my issue by using miflash tool version 20180528 and flashing merlin_eea_global_images_V12.0.10.0.QJOEUXM_20210413.0000.00_10.0_eea_c4a9d5d7fc fastboot version which i downloaded from the xiami site.
I had to try this multiple times because the extraction of the file did not seem to be correct on the first attempts.
Hi there, i have and old P9 (EVA-L09) rebranded i think, i did that when i've first flashed Lineage (one of the first rom you'll find on rom&kernel thread)
I wanted to flash again a custom Emui rom, but I also wanted to flash TWRP as recovery.
When I tried that TWRP failed to flash, so I was forced to use fastboot, when I downloaded the rom and tried to flash that, on the second step to flash system it failed and now I can't boot to system nor fastboot/bootloader.. only eRecovery, I don't know what to do..
