Switch from LOS recovery to TWRP - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hello everybody,
I'm little outdated on Android things, so please excuse my stupid questions. But I want to be sure my process is OK.
I was on LOS 16.1 / TWRP / superSU and updated to 17.1 / LOS recovery / Magisk. After a LOS Update I noticed that I have no more root. I wanted to install Magisk root again via recovery and noticed I can't do that from LOS recovery. Is that normal?
To get back root my plan is to flash again TWRP (https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261695823), so I am again able to flash the magisk zip. Will this process keep my data an ROM as it is before? Is there any disadvantage? LOS recommends the LOS recovery. That's because I installed it...
Thanks a lot for your help!

what is your current setup? as long as you have OEM unlock,unlocked boot loader., you can just flash TWRP via ADB followed by magisk in general

Hello and thanks for your answer. Yes, it's OEM unlocked and unlocked boot loader. It's encrypted. But encryption shouldn't be a problem for that.

Thanks, Muralidharc22. All done!

MI 8 SE Pie Update

Hello everyone, after xiaomi.eu update to Android Pie, I'm not able to flash or boot TWRP, so I can't restore my apps and, of course, I can't get root. So, there's a way to boot TWRP or, at least, to obtain root access? Thanks in advance
I updated to xiaomi.eu_multi_MI8SE_8.11.1_v10-9. The stock recovery doesn't work anymore, so we need an updated version for Android Pie.

Flash from your existing TWRP, or from fastboot if you've lost recovery
Can verify its working with MIUI PIe release 8.11.1, and with Magisk 16.6 for root
same thing happened to me, did anyone figure it out?

Oneplus 6 Bootloop after flashing Magisk over Oxygen OS Beta 11

Here is what I have done:
1. Boot into TWRP recovery
2. Flash OOS 9.0.3 Beta 11 followed by TWRP and Wipe Dalvik Cache
3. Reboot Successfully to android
4. Boot back into TWRP and flash Magisk 18.0 (I also tried 18.1, same result)
5. Bootloop
I've done this multiple times, each time I was able to get back into android before flashing Magisk.
Thank You for your help, much appreciated.
This might go without saying but after flashing Magisk are you also wiping Dalvik?

I could be wrong but I do it slightly differently.
1. Boot into TWRP.
2. Flash rom, flash TWRP
3. Reboot TWRP, flash magisk.
4. Reboot system
Works for me.

So I finally made it work by flashing with "Blue" TWRP. I still don't really understand the difference between the official TWRP. Whiel in loop looping after installing magisk, I went back to TWRP, flashed Blue TWRP and it booted. Wen't back intro Blue TWRP and flashed Magisk 18 (Not 18.1, thought that might have been why) and it worked. It confused me because I have successfully flashed magisk with the other TWRP before so I really don't know what fixed this.
Thank you for your help. I think I flashed me rom over 30 times yesterday getting this to work.

You need to flash Magisk after flashing TWRP
1. Flash Latest TWRP
2. Reboot to TWRP
3. Flash Magisk
If you boot in to system after flashing TWRP, TWRP will be removed

If you are on stock Rom, according to my knoweldge it is not possible to remove encryption, if you format your date in twrp for removing encryption then reboot to system you can see that the phone is again encrypted.
But in custom roms this doesnt happen.

You don't have to flash Magisk after flashing TWRP. The two are unrelated.
After flashing TWRP you have to boot into recovery, not system. Once TWRP was started, you can reboot into system. No need for Magisk (unless you want Magisk anyway).

It will not work in stock ROM, if you flash a custom rom there is no need to flash Magisk.
You should flash Magisk or custom kernel after flashing TWRP otherwise it will be erased.
Google about TWRP erasing after reboot you should get too many posts regarding this
This is one of them

I am using stock ROM, and yes, also Magisk (installed later). IIRC Magisk is not needed for TWRP to work. When I receive the next OTA notification, I will test this.
The thread you are referring to is for a OnePlus 3T. For our device this is the thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g5s-plus/development/recovery-twrp-3-1-1-r7-t3694910.
Since there is no official TWRP for the Moto G5S Plus, I took the following text from the TWRP page for the Moto G5S.
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.

Instead of that you can also use fastboot reboot-bootloader, and then from the bootloader start recovery.

Two days ago I received a notification for an OTA update, containing the August 2019 security patches.
After going back to stock ROM, installing all the updates up to the latest, I installed TWRP. After booting into recovery, and then into system, and recovery again, TWRP was gone. Strange, I don't remember this happening before. Maybe I always installed Magisk before booting into system.
Bottom line: you were right, I was wrong. Thanks for pointing it out.

As like you said this is the first time in my life i need to flash magisk to stick twrp.
I usualy doesn't use root or custom roms, install twrp, remove unnecessary apps from stock system, replace host files with adaway hosts, replace or edit gps config files. and continue using stock.
This is the main routine from Android 1.5
(Samsung spica (i think it was the first Android phone from Samsung)).
It may be due to security reason stock kernel or system delete twrp.
When installing magisk it patch stock boot image, that may be the reason of twrp remains after flashing magisk.

Lineage OS 17 unable to root with Magisk

Hi there,
Looking for some assistance to root on Lineage OS 17 for my S10. I had previously rooted my stock rom before installing the custom rom. However, I realized that Magisk is not registering on LOS. I tried to reroot via zip on TWRP with no success. Any ideas on how I can root again? Would I have to reroot on my stock rom again before installing LOS?
Thanks

I've just tried this but now my S10 is stuck on boot warning. Was I supposed to do a full wipe too?
Edit: Resolved now. There was a custom Magisk boot.img specifically for Lineage OS root

You will need to do a format/wipe, flash multi_disabler.zip then flash the new updated LOS rom, then Magisk.img
Below link for the updated LOS rom and Magisk .img
This is from the official LOS thread.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UdPbIbM3luYIiOdXMXb7raAnWLERjssh
beyond0lte folder is for S10E.

Oh I'm so stupid, I had seen the Magisk boot img in the files but ended up using another one... It seems to work now, thank you sooo much!!
It still cannot pass SafetyNet check (ctsProfile), I'll investigate that...
I had the same issue with lineage 17.1 in xperia z2 when using the latest magisk version 21.4 , solved by flashing an older version (magisk version 20.4).
I am trying root Lineage 18.1 on my s10. I have tried differtent magisk-files from TWRP, but still no root access.
What are the required files for 18.1 for Galaxy s10 and steps to get root-access?

Dude, thanks so much. I faced the exact same problem with my Z2, now it's running magisk just fine. You saved me a bunch of headaches.

LineageOS 17.1 comes with a own recovery. Use the installer.zip provided on twrp.me to install TWRP. After that start TWRP and format /data. That's necessary to install the GApps. Otherwise you end in a bootloop.
Now flash GApps and Magisk and boot into system.
You can also temporarily boot into TWRP with "fastboot boot twrp.img" in fastboot. Then do backups etc. and reinstall the system.
