Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or TWRP3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

I’d recommend to read everything in this post, if you care about your expensive phone.
Let’s start with the installation process
If you already unlocked your bootloader, start with step 3.
If you are already rooted, start with step 4.
If you already installed a previous version of TWRP, start with step 4.
If you already have TWRP installed and just want to root, start with step 5.
First you need to unlock your bootloader. You can do so by enabling developer settings first, enable oem unlocking, then shut down your phone, hold volume up and down at the same time and while holding them plugin your charger. Your phone now should show a green screen with instructions to unlock the bootloader. Just follow them and after the unlocking your data should get wiped. After that your device will boot up and land in setup screen. Do not setup anything, just skip as much as possible, because your phone will get wiped again. Enable developer settings and make sure oem unlocking is greyed out and enabled. (If it does not show up, connect to a network first!)
Now you need to overwrite vbmeta partition, so you can flash third party partitions. Download vbmeta.tar then go into download mode on your device. Put vbmeta.tar to AP in Odin, click start. This should finish pretty quickly, so pay attention when your device reboots, because you need to boot into recovery (Hold power and volume up after the screen turns black). When booted into recovery, wipe your data and reboot normally into system. Now you can setup your phone as usual and make sure oem unlocking is still greyed out and enabled!
Time to flash recovery. Download (link is at the end of this post) the latest version as zip and extract it. You should end up with one single file named recovery.img. Pack it as tar with 7zip or any other compression tool you prefer. This packed tar file should only contain recovery.img and nothing else, also make sure the name is still recovery.img, otherwise Odin will refuse to flash it. In Odin put the tar file in AP and simply hit start. Congrats you now have TWRP installed!
(Optional) You might have lost root access by flash TWRP if you followed this standard guide for rooting. If you did lose it and want to gain root access again (you can also root your device with this method, even when you never rooted your device), download the latest Magisk Manager from the canary channel and install the apk to your phone.
If you are on stock:
Push the recovery.img file you just download for TWRP to your phone. Open Magisk Manager and hit install and patch a file. Select recovery.img and Magisk should start the patching process. Once Magisk is done, boot into TWRP. Backup your boot partition first and afterwards go into install and then hit install image on the bottom right of the screen. Select /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img and install it to boot. Now reboot and Magisk should work. If you run into issues after this, go into TWRP and restore the boot partition you backed up previously.
If you are on an AOSP based rom:
Reboot to TWRP. Create a backup with boot partition. Reboot back to system, then open Magisk and hit install and patch a file. Locate the TWRP backup folder and look up your backup you just created. Select boot.emmc.win for patching. Once Magisk is done, reboot back to TWRP. Go into install and then hit install image on the bottom right of the screen. Select /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img and install it to boot. Now reboot and Magisk should work. If you run into issues after this, go into TWRP and restore the boot partition you backed up previously.
So that was the easy part. The hard part is to completely read these following points!
Encryption/Decryption
Decryption works on this TWRP release, but only partially. That means you have to open the Settings Application first on your phone and disable a feature called strong protection. You can find it in Settings->Biometrics and security>Other security settings. It doesn’t matter when you disable it. Flash TWRP first and disable it, fine. Disable it and flash TWRP afterwards, fine. Never disable it, also fine, TWRP just fails to decrypt your data, but won’t do any harm. When this feature gets turned off, the device will generate a key which doesn't require any authentication for decryption, currently only this allows TWRP to decrypt the data partition successfully. This only applies to stock roms though, if you are using an AOSP based rom, then you don't have to do any of this.
Disabling decryption
Disabling decryption will create many problems. First TWRP will refuse to unmount system partition and thus you might run into problems flashing various zips. So I advise you to not disable decryption. If you still want to disable it you have to open terminal in TWRP and type in "stop servicemanager" everytime you want to unmount the system partition.
Backup and Restore
Because of encryption it's more complicated to backup your data partition.
If you want to backup data you have to make sure TWRP successfully decrypted your internal storage, otherwise you will run into problems backing up.
Restoring is even more complicated. Every time you set up a rom, new crypto keys will be generated and you can't backup these. That means if you want to restore data you have to restore the whole rom first excluding data. Format data partition completely, boot it up, then go back to TWRP and restore data. You will lose your internal storage, so I'd recommend you move important stuff to external storage.

Recovery image size
For some reason the ramdisk has a size limit, so I used LZMA compression to get its size down as much as possible.
During kernel compilation you will run into a DTC error. Apparently Samsung didn’t bother to update their DTC source in the kernel and you have to use their precompiled binary. I edited my kernel sources to automatically use their dtc binary.

TWRP version is 3.3.1
actual firmware is A705FNXXU3ASG6_A705FNOXM3ASG6_BTU (july security patch) (United kingdom)
prev. firmware was A705FNXXU1ASE4_A705FNOXM1ASE4_XEF (may security patch) (France)
edit 1 : the ui freeze completly when phone is booted up , had to flash all back
i'm going to flash A705FNXXU1ASD1_A705FNOXM1ASD1_BTU (april security patch) (United kingdom) and see if it boot correctly...
edit 2 : cant flash previous firmware due to 'security reasons' ,i flashed back stock recovery, it doesnt freeze anymore, i guess we will have to wait for a custom kernel
cant you use this to flash GSI images and then use magisk? or does that not bypass the boot image problem?

Hi,
I patched the TWRP 3.0 recovery from faust93 to include important partitions
that make switching between different versions of Android/Ubuntu very simple.
All partitions are properly added to the fstab, but out of fear that some of
you will brick your device i disabled most of them.
Next version will contain a backup of all unique partitions, but i will have
to test this thoroughly.
Steps to install:
1. Download the zip file from attachments below
2. Unpack the zip file
3. Check checksum with md5sum -c *.md5
4. Put phone into fastboot mode (boot device with [vol-] and [power] button)
5. Flash recovery with:
# fastboot flash recovery TWRP_3.0_m86_patched_st0rm77.img
# fastboot reboot
then boot the device with [vol+] and [power] button, to enter recovery
[Requested by @p82maarj]
Already on an older TWRP version ?
- Flash "update_TWRP_3.0_m86_patched_st0rm77.zip" from TWRP
or
- Unpack the zip and flash the recovery manually in TWRP by selecting "install image"
Enjoy
Warning:
** If you flash an official update.zip from Flyme, remove bootloader, ldfw & recovery from ZIP**
** Otherwise you'll find yourself with a locked bootloader **
Hi @st0rm77
Thanks for your contrubution!
It will be good if you create a flashable zip of your new recovery. It can be flashed directly from the stock recovery or from the other twrp recovery without entering in fastboot.
Furthermore to have a flashable zip is usefull to flash a new rom update. For updating the new rom version I enter in TWRP, flash rom zip, flash unlocked bootloader zip and flash TWRP zip.
I attach the other flashable TWRP zip you can based on (only replace recovery.img by your recovery.img).
Hi @p82maarj,
Thanks, as per your request, i added an update_TWRP_3.0_m86_patched_st0rm77.zip . This is directly flashable from an older TWRP.
I added some extra verification so people dont end up with a corrupt recovery.
Enjoy
(in order not to confuse people to much, can you remove your download)
Personally I like android as OS, I don't wish to try Ubuntu, in my case it's useful to update my "old" TWRP by Faust93 with this one ?

Yeah, you get some extra abilities:
- Backup of Boot Logo
- Backup of Device Tree
Now you can backup/restore in TWRP without manually flashing dtb (device tree) in order to switch between Flyme, AICP, ResurrectionRemix or Ubuntu.
Thanks for everything you've been releasing, great work!

Sorry for the stupid question but it's just to be sure. I should remove the file named "bootloader" or the one named "boot.img"? Or both of them?
Thank you very much!
Another little question... What's the difference from 2 ZIP files ? Older one and updated ZIP ?

I know the answer to this one!
The first zip contains the img file that you can flash using fastboot.
The second (update) zip is the one you need if you already have (an older) TWRP and you wish to update to this version (use it from inside TWRP).

Just to be sure I understood :
Going from Flyme to CM :
-Backup Flyme (system+data+dtd)
-Flash CM archive
Going back to Flyme
-(optional) Backup CM (system+data+dtd)
-Restore Flyme (system+data+dtd)
Is there is a quikier way ?

TLDR: It's here and it may eat your data, and you will lose SuperSU root if currently installed. READ the install instructions carefully!
Pixel XL

DO NOT RESTORE DATA FROM alpha builds of TWRP using RC1. You will probably lose all data including internal storage. If you need to restore a data backup from an alpha build, reinstall the alpha and restore using the alpha and make a new backup using RC1.
Note: Do not use if you have multiple users (including a guest user)
File Based Encryption (FBE) can be a bit tricky. If a restore doesn't work correctly, it can trigger an automatic wipe of your data. Sometimes TWRP will fail to prompt you to enter your password or otherwise fail to set up decrypt properly. If this happens, reboot TWRP. It seems to be some kind of timing issue and I haven't had time to track it down yet.
Pixel devices have 2 "slots" for ROMs / firmware. TWRP will detect whichever slot is currently active and use that slot for backup AND restore. There are buttons on the reboot page and under backup -> options to change slots. Changing the active slot will cause TWRP to switch which slot that TWRP is backing up or restoring. You can make a backup of slot A, switch to B, then restore the backup which will restore the backup of A to slot B. Changing the slot in TWRP also tells the bootloader to boot that slot.
The zip install method installs TWRP to both slots.
Installation:
If you already have TWRP installed: Download the latest zip and install the zip using TWRP.
If you do not already have TWRP installed: Download both the img and the zip. Copy the zip to your device. You will need to have fastboot binaries and the correct drivers installed. Power off your device completely. Hold volume down and turn on the device. Your device should now be in the bootloader. Connect the device to your PC. Open a command window and run the following command from the proper location:
fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img
This will temporarily boot TWRP on your device. If you are using a lockscreen pin/pattern/password and do not get prompted to enter your passord, reboot to the bootloader and try again. Go to install and browse to the zip and install the zip. If you are currently rooted with SuperSU, you will need to reflash the stock boot image before installing TWRP. After installing the stock boot image, follow the instructions for installing TWRP. Once TWRP is installed, grab the very latest SuperSU released on 2015-11-15 or later and install SuperSU.
If you accidently flash TWRP to your device using fastboot instead of temporarily booting the image, you will need to download the latest factory image for your device and reflash the boot image.
NOTE about 3.2.1-0: This version will decrypt Android 8.1, however the new image is built in Android 8.1 and may not be compatible with SuperSU and/or Magisk until they update their stuff. I have not tested. Good luck.
3.2.1-1 has working decrypt with the February security patch!
3.2.1-2 fixes some zip install errors
3.2.3-1 supports decrypting Android 9.0 Pie even with a pin / pattern / password set
How to install SuperSU SR5 on TWRP RC1: In TWRP tap on Advanced -> File Manager and scroll to and select the fstab.marlin or fstab.sailfish file and then delete it.
Amazing work sir! I think this is what we've all been waiting for! I mean I know I've been checking here frequently, hoping for this
Wow and so it begins, great work thanks!

No I haven't downloaded anything yet. Not going to until I can have supersu alongside twrp.
Why does installation of this remove SuperSU?
Aren't they supposed to be used side-by-side?
And it also warns not to install if expecting important calls.
Does it prevent the phone apps from operating or what?
I understand everything else.

"In other words, Chainfire's systemless root method modifies the same binary that TWRP needs to modify in order to get data decryption working. Therefore, when you flash TWRP you are overwriting the changes made to the init binary by Chainfire's systemless root method. While this is a minor setback, thanks to the dual partition nature of the Pixel (and future devices shipping with Nougat), TWRP has some nifty new capabilities."
I'm pretty sure he's just saying dont chance something going wrong like it bootlooping or wiping data if you need your phone for something important like a phone call. Tough to answer said phonecall in a boot loop.

I get exactly the same. Even after several attempts at booting the img, i don't get prompted to enter the PIN / passphrase as stated in instructions hence why the data is encrypted i presume.

I finally got passed that issue. I had to flash factory images and erase everything to the point of being at setup screen. I didn't set anything up, no network or wifi, skipped Google sign in, no password and also no Google functions activated. This led to an unencrypted setup, so after turning on dev settings and Android debugging I booted up the image. Now my issue is the zip to install twrp for sailfish is corrupt and if you try to unzip it there are no files in it....I downloaded the marline zip and there are files when unzipped....
Maybe I'm an asshole but I cNt for the life of me flash this I download the .IMG I even changed name to TWRP.img but it won't flash boot at all just an error hmmmmm maybe I'm just dumb?

OK thanks, wondering if root will work with November update or of I need to roll back first. Prior to SU update today Nov update didn't work with the auto cf root
So as I go over the custom roms available in the development section I cannot help but notice how many users state that the rom is causing random reboots. It is usually due to said user flashing the custom rom over a beta OOS version instead of the latest stable build as the OP instructions usually indicate. The reboots are hardly caused by the rom itself. I am putting together this guide to help users go from beta back to stable. This will allow a clean install of the custom rom and usability as it is intended.
This can also be used to just go back to stable from beta if you want to run the stable OOS.
There are 2 ways to do this. One is via TWRP if that is what you prefer or you can also use the MSM tool to flash back to the latest stable. Both ways will wipe and format your internal data. This is due to the mismatch in security patches between beta and stable. So be sure to make a backup of your internal storage if there is stuff there that you need. You have been warned.
NOTE: Highly recommended to use a computer to make things easier. If you do not have a computer available, use the TWRP method listed below to get back to stable OOS. Once OOS boots, you can download your custom rom of choice using your phone and install it.
Here are the links for the latest MSM tool and latest stable zip if you want to use the TWRP method:
Latest MSM Tool
Latest stable OOS to flash in TWRP
TWRP Steps:
Download latest OOS stable from link above
Flash OOS stable build
Flash TWRP installer
Reboot to TWRP
Factory Reset
Format Data type 'yes' when prompted
Reboot to System
Your phone will reboot to OOS. If you want to run OOS stable you are done. Just set up your phone as normal from here.
If you want to run a custom rom, reboot to TWRP, you can transfer your custom rom, gapps, magisk, kernel and twrp installer using a PC. If no PC is available, download your rom and needed files like twrp, magisk etc. using OOS stable first. Then you can reboot to recovery and follow the installation steps provided by your rom developer on their page.
Steps for MSM:
Download the latest MSM tool with link from above. Boot phone to EDL either by powering off the phone then holding Vol + and - with Power or my preferred way via adb by typing adb reboot edl. Plug in phone once in EDL and let MSM do its thing. If you are not sure how to use MSM, the link for the MSM tool outlines the steps. Your phone will reboot to OOS. If you want to run OOS stable you are done. Just set up your phone as normal from here. Note, your bootloader is locked. You will need to do an oem unlock to install twrp and magisk if you want root or to install a custom kernel.
If you want to run a custom rom or root your phone, get to the settings screen.. you can skip setting up your phone so just hit skip on all the prompts for set up. Go to settings, enable developer options. Make sure OEM unlock is selected and USB debugging is selected. Once you do that, do adb reboot bootloader. Then do the following:
fastboot oem unlock
It will reboot the phone. Skip through the set up again and go back to settings. Enable developer options and enabled USB debugging. Then run adb reboot bootloader. In the bootloader, do the following:
fastboot boot <twrp.img> (replace this with the actual file name)
From there, you can transfer your custom rom, gapps, magisk, kernel and twrp installer using a PC. Follow the installation steps provided by your rom developer on their page.
i am on OpenBeta9,can i use the Twrp Method for a downgrade to the Stable 9.0.13?

Given the problems with rolling back security patches I wondered the same thing. However, assuming we wiped everything including system it should work. Having said that, when I previously tried rolling back to the latest stable from beta, when I fastboot flashed everything to both slots, I could never get it to boot and was able to flash beta and get it running again.

I'd like to see a resolution to this ^
This should not be this complicated any time I my base whether it beta or stable I never met to do all of this...
It's super simple to go back to whatever oos version you want without the need of msm tool and all this extra stuff.... I've went from beta to stable and back to beta several times no issues... And you are going to have to format data no matter what if you are changing oos versions and don't want to run into an encryption problem.
You can just back everything up
Boot to fastboot
Fastboot format userdata
Fastboot boot twrp. img
Transfer needed files. (oos, twrp)
Flash oos + twrp
Reboot recovery (make sure the slot changed)
Flash oos + twrp
Reboot system make sure it boots up right
Now you can go flash the rom you want

I can verify the TWRP steps outlined above (in the OP, not the comment with Fastboot) worked perfectly for me. Did everything in exactly the same order. Was on beta 8 and went to 9.0.13 without a hitch.

what about directy through TWRP? can I just replace fastboot with TWRP in your instructions or does Formatting userdata erase internal files (ie: TWRP, Magisk, etc... I'm only asking because I've only ever updated to the latest OOS and I'm just curious for future possible future tinkering)

LOL, yeah. I was kind of surprised with the smart-ass comment, but then again lots of people on here don't follow instructions, do things out of order and then wonder what went wrong or why they suddenly have a $700 paper weight. Given how much chatter there's been about the MSM tool (not an option on Mac) or needing to fastboot flash individual images (which didn't work for me), I was surprised how easy moving back to stable completely via TWRP is. I'm used flashing Nexus and older Samsung devices, which used to be dead-simple.

So as I go over the custom roms available in the development section I cannot help but notice how many users state that the rom is causing random reboots. It is usually due to said user flashing the custom rom over a beta OOS version instead of the latest stable build as the OP instructions usually indicate. The reboots are hardly caused by the rom itself. I am putting together this guide to help users go from beta back to stable. This will allow a clean install of the custom rom and usability as it is intended.
This can also be used to just go back to stable from beta if you want to run the stable OOS.
There are 2 ways to do this. One is via TWRP if that is what you prefer or you can also use the MSM tool to flash back to the latest stable. Both ways will wipe and format your internal data. This is due to the mismatch in security patches between beta and stable. So be sure to make a backup of your internal storage if there is stuff there that you need. You have been warned.
NOTE: Highly recommended to use a computer to make things easier. If you do not have a computer available, use the TWRP method listed below to get back to stable OOS. Once OOS boots, you can download your custom rom of choice using your phone and install it.
Here are the links for the latest MSM tool and latest stable zip if you want to use the TWRP method:
Latest MSM Tool
Latest stable OOS to flash in TWRP
TWRP Steps:
Download latest OOS stable from link above
Flash OOS stable build
Flash TWRP installer
Reboot to TWRP
Factory Reset
Format Data type 'yes' when prompted
Reboot to System
Your phone will reboot to OOS. If you want to run OOS stable you are done. Just set up your phone as normal from here.
If you want to run a custom rom, reboot to TWRP, you can transfer your custom rom, gapps, magisk, kernel and twrp installer using a PC. If no PC is available, download your rom and needed files like twrp, magisk etc. using OOS stable first. Then you can reboot to recovery and follow the installation steps provided by your rom developer on their page.
Steps for MSM:
Download the latest MSM tool with link from above. Boot phone to EDL either by powering off the phone then holding Vol + and - with Power or my preferred way via adb by typing adb reboot edl. Plug in phone once in EDL and let MSM do its thing. If you are not sure how to use MSM, the link for the MSM tool outlines the steps. Your phone will reboot to OOS. If you want to run OOS stable you are done. Just set up your phone as normal from here. Note, your bootloader is locked. You will need to do an oem unlock to install twrp and magisk if you want root or to install a custom kernel.
If you want to run a custom rom or root your phone, get to the settings screen.. you can skip setting up your phone so just hit skip on all the prompts for set up. Go to settings, enable developer options. Make sure OEM unlock is selected and USB debugging is selected. Once you do that, do adb reboot bootloader. Then do the following:
fastboot oem unlock
It will reboot the phone. Skip through the set up again and go back to settings. Enable developer options and enabled USB debugging. Then run adb reboot bootloader. In the bootloader, do the following:
fastboot boot <twrp.img> (replace this with the actual file name)
From there, you can transfer your custom rom, gapps, magisk, kernel and twrp installer using a PC. Follow the installation steps provided by your rom developer on their page.

Thanks, I only ask because I see a lot of disagreement about it on different threads. Some say you can do it, other's say you can't do it if you are flashing back to an older security patch. It's not urgent for me so I might just wait until I have access to my laptop again, but I was hoping to do it now. Won't format completely erase the device?

Are you able to let us know if yours is the same? Or still testing and too early to know?

Look at the other thread. 3.3.0 works as expected. Use the old twrp for my current ROM or wait for the next update, which will support 3.3.0
I don't have experience customizing TWRP images for specific devices, so let me apologize in advance for my n00b questions...
How similar are the x704f and x705f tablets? I'm wondering if it might be possible to use an x704f TWRP image on an x705f. Lenovo recently released a stock ROM for Pie on the x705f. Now I'm finally able to unlock the bootloader. The previous stock ROM would not respond to fastboot oem unlock commands. I was then able to fastboot flash a bootloader image pre patched with Magisk so now the tab is rooted and happy. However, I still feel insecure without TWRP as it seems to be a key tool that I use for emergency ADB access, flashing, and making nandroid backups. How big of a project do you think it would be to make a customized image for the x705f? Do you think that is something where I would have to start from scratch? Or could the x704f image be used as a template that I could easily modify with information specific to the x705f?
Thanks for your time. I truly appreciate any help or advice you can give me on this.

on my tb-x704f twrp on starts in landscape orientation. the last version i used was 3.2.3 and here i could use both orientations.
i also can't restore an backup because i can't write to the system partition. can this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79681018&postcount=259 fix the problem?

No, it won't, it's a magisk module that allows R/W to the system partition after boot up to
facilitate some apps. that require it for full root access.
The problem was that i had no r/w to system partition. the restore works, but the system doesn't start. i have a boot loop with the lenovo logo. i have wiped dalvik, cache and system. after that i also made the normal wipe. then i restored the backup and after restart i have the boot loop. is there anything more to do? this was all i have to do on my other devices.

Hello, I have tried TWRP for TB-X704F on TB-X704A, but though my bootloader is unlocked, I have the latest SDK tools, and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img seems to take, nothing I do causes the device to boot into TWRP. I cannot sideload lineagos using stock recovery, and so for now I seem to be stuck. Any suggestions? I'd like to move past Android 7.1 for a more secure OS.
I've had the EXACT same problem with a TB-X704A. I've been waiting for someone else to say so. I'm sorry I don't have a solution but I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable then me sees our problem. Thanks to everyone, especially codeworkx who does this stuff!

Twrp for tb x704f should work on all 704 versions but you have to boot into recovery manually not through adb fastboot it wont boot up that way for some reason. Let me know if this solves the problem.
I wanted to update from LineageOS 16 to LineageOS 17. Instructions there say to upgrade to latest TWRP (https://forum.xda-developers.com/th...m-lineageos-17-0-lenovo-tab4-10-plus-t4016705). I downloaded the unofficial twrp-3.3.1-0-X704F-20190604-codeworkx.img, flashed using adb, but when trying to go into recovery mode - will not go into recovery. Tries, then reboots again, and goes into LineageOS 16.
Downloaded the "official" version form (https://dl.twrp.me/X704F/), version twrp-3.4.0-0-X704F.img, again flashed using adb - again same results. Cannot get into recovery mode, boots twice and goes back into LineageOS 16.
So - something didn't go quite right - how do I get into recovery mode?

I'm aware of how to get into recovery - it WON'T go into recovery. Starts up, the Moto screen flashes, it reboots, Moto screen again, then loads LineageOS. So I simply cannot get into recovery once selecting "Recovery Mode".

Not sure of the significance, but "Moto" doesn't appear in the boot sequence of my TB-X704N (changed to TB-X704L after I installed LOS 17.1). I get "Lenovo" in an orange rectangle.
My next step would be to try https://dl.twrp.me/X704F/twrp-3.3.1-0-X704F.img . Better yet would be to hear from someone who's installed LOS 17.1 on an "A" model.

You'd better check the moto edge tree : https://github.com/boulzordev/android_device_motorola_racer/tree/twrp
Unified one for trinket devices is here : https://github.com/moto-sm6xxx/android_device_motorola_sofiar/tree/twrp
Where to look at :
recovery/root/vendor/firmware - firmwares for touchscreen and vibrator
recovery/root/sbin/modules - drivers for touchscreen/battery/vibrator
recovery/root/sbin/load_ts_firmware.sh - in charge to load modules and tell touchscreen driver which firmware to load
Just like to confirm that this is working great either booted or installed. Thanks for the hard work vache :good::good:
There is no system partition to install to in TWRP. Super is listed twice. It may be nice to know what partitions listed actually mean.

Google for "dynamic partitions" and "fastbootd". That could also help you to understand why omni is shipped as images for now instead of flashable zip.

Most people agree OMNI is a great ROM. System, Vendor, and product are critical partitions for ROM flashing so I am surprised TWRP does not toggle them correctly.

I can confirm that it is fixed. I used Magisk's adb/fastboot module to unlock my Moto G Fast with my rooted G7 Play with a USB C to C cable, boot twrp, and make a back up. This is epic!
It took some digging to figure this out, so I'm going to outline the steps for getting this installed without a boot loop.
1. Unlock your device. (I'm not holding your hand here.)
2. Reboot into fastboot.
3. Temporarily boot twrp.
4. Install magisk by flashing the latest zip from twrp. Then flash the copy partitions zip so you don't hard brick.
5. Reboot to system, and you're now rooted.
6. Reboot into recovery.
7. From stock recovery select "enter fastboot" this takes you to "fastboot d" mode.
8. Flash twrp while you're in fastbootd mode.
9. Enjoy! Everything is working perfectly. Rebooting to recovery takes you to TWRP. Rebooting to system gives you root. We also have full decryption support.
Great work

I can confirm that it is fixed. I used Magisk's adb/fastboot module to unlock my Moto G Fast with my rooted G7 Play with a USB C to C cable, boot twrp, and make a back up. This is epic![/QUOTE @Spaceminer View attachment g8fast-nexus7.zip

It took some digging to figure this out, so I'm going to outline the steps for getting this installed without a boot loop.
1. Unlock your device. (I'm not holding your hand here.)
2. Reboot into fastboot.
3. Temporarily boot twrp.
4. Install magisk by flashing the latest zip from twrp. Then flash the copy partitions zip so you don't hard brick.
5. Reboot to system, and you're now rooted.
6. Reboot into recovery.
7. From stock recovery select "enter fastboot" this takes you to "fastboot d" mode.
8. Flash twrp while you're in fastbootd mode.
9. Enjoy! Everything is working perfectly. Rebooting to recovery takes you to TWRP. Rebooting to system gives you root. We also have full decryption support.

I'm rather new to the scene, everything you're saying here makes sense except the copypartions.zip. Is this something that is the same for all phones or is there a special file i should have for the g fast?
and still bootloop lmao, im doing the exact steps provided exactly as i see them on this thread, christ ill send 20 bucks through paypal to whoever makes a actual detailed guide with explanations on what to do like for example what is the copy partitions zip? whats it for? do i make a patched boot image first if im coming from full stock? do i do any of this to the other partition? treat it like your making it for noobs like christ is it that hard to help out now lmao

If you have done an OTA update on the phone, AFAIK you don't need the copy-partitions.zip. The zip copies needed partitions from the used slot to the unused slot. So if it does change from one to another, you aren't left with a completely blank slot with nothing on it. (As i said, if you have done a OTA update, both slots will be populated, so it isn't necessary to flash the zip..)
SOMEONE SMARTER THAN ME CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG ON THE ABOVE STATEMENT PLEASE
So.. assuming you are on clean stock and you have done an OTA update... In fastboot:
(make sure you have a magisk.zip on your phone or sd card)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <twrpfilename>.img
Then enter recovery mode from the bootloader menu you are still in.
Wait for twrp to load, install magisk, reboot.
Profit.
Now you are rooted, with twrp permanently installed.
p.s: Keep the 20 bucks and send it to vache :silly:
