Flash OOs Oreo Stable release

Folks,
Seeing alot of comments about bootloops, etc after trying to install the new stable OOS Oreo release.
I went through the same issue myself and found the following method to work best.
PLEASE NOTE: I'm not responsible if this does Any type of damage or issues to your device.
Be sure to backup all you need to back up to your PC.
1. Complete wipe of phone.
2. Flash the stock recovery that was used for reverting from Oreo Beta to Nougat. http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/OP5_recovery.img
3. Wipe everything again.
4. Sideload new Oreo release. (Credit @HatRiGt, https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NW5zyUOL6bWgUWozFGLiutzud203npKp)
5. Reboot to bootloader and flash the Chinese TWRP. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1AKbC4HB0h4rEldQUowWGdyM4iYBVV--7
6. Reboot to recovery and flash Magisk. I flashed the 14.6 version and haven't found any issues yet. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4366826&d=1513897917)
7. Boot phone.
I cannot promise this will work for you, but it has done the job for me.
Running Oreo Stable with Magisk 14.6 and restored all apps from Titanium Backup that I saved on my PC.

I highly suggest blu_spark TWRP instead of chinese one, and i think this method is ONE of the other working way

Couldn't get mine to work with blu spark, hence why I had to use chinese

Link for Chinese twrp please

Thank you very much, work for me

Make a video of it please

New Magisk v.15.
Thanks to topjohnwu.

Added to OP.

All is well. And with google Drive almost all data is back.

Nice & easy workaround..
Step 5 has to be : install TWRP on fastboot mode...

@hallo dare
Any chance you can make a very detailed video about this process?

You should try changing the TWRP

If you have problems with adb sideload:
Boot into fastboot and install stock .
Unlock/Lock your Phone and unlock it again. Locking will wipe the whole phone.
After this you can make a clean installation.
Reboot to bootloader and flash the Chinese TWRP and boot to Recovery.
Install the oreo.zip file.
Reboot to System.
Make your Setup: WLAN, GMail Account aso.....
After all boot to Recovery and install Magisk

Very easy, put oreo zip file in the root folder, backup all data, flash stock recovery, boot with stock recovery, wipe cache, upgrade internal..., Select oreo zip file and flash it, then back and select wipe, select erase every thing and reboot. Done.

Thank you so much! I finally got it working. I needed to do a factory wipe and skip the magisk installation but it worked!
Cheers!

Magisk won't flash on stock recovery, if that's the reason you had to skip installing it.

No I installed the TWRP and flashed magisk. It refused to boot so I factory swiped it and all was good. Now I have to figure out how to install magisk without getting into bootloop.

TWRP Decryption?

Hi Guys,
May I know what are the steps to flash the rom and also magisk properly? Cuz I have a brand new mi 9 now...
1. unlocked bootloader
2. flash twrp (is the one below recommended?)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/development/recovery-twrp-3-3-1-siankatabg-t3934962
3. I am actually confused about the decryption thing, do I still need to wipe data first?
4. wipe system, wipe data (?), flash eu or ROS rom, flash gapps, flash magisk, reboot?
Thank you guys for helping me

You could easily test it. If you are on stock rom and flashed twrp you should see all your data. If you can, you don't need to format data.

so after i flashed the twrp, i need to wipe /system, /data, /cache, /davik-cache before flashing the ROS?
then after flashing the ROS, i need to reboot into the system first, and then go back to the twrp to flash magisk?

Yes wipe your device and flash Ros and flash twrp.
Reboot directly into recovery and flash magisk.
Reboot and it should be fine.:good:

TWRP gets replaced by stock recovery

So I've used TWRP r16 and it throws an "Image not signed or corrupt" error as suggested by other users I ignored it, but everytime I reboot to system and try to get to recovery "no command" show's up meaning TWRP was replaced by stock recovery all help will be appreciated.
Thanks

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

Hey thanks that worked.
But everytime I boot to system and boot to twrp the data gets encrypted and I can't access the files do you happen to know any solution for this?

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.

One UI 2 Beta - Rooting and installing working TWRP after Upgrade

Hi!
After flashing the One UI Beta to your S9/S9+ you can flash the latest TWRP on the same way through Odin jow you did it on Android Pie.
After flashing TWRP you need to wipe data.
Next step is to flash the latest magisk zip 20.1.
Than you have to flash the zip from here. This will modify the TWRP and make it fully working.
No more bootloop after flashing TWRP.
All credits goes to @Alucard for this great tweak.

Nope

This is the magisk patched kernel for the 960 Beta.
Flash it through twrp in "boot".
Flash the zip again and boot.
If it doesnt work than go back to twrp and flash the magisk uninstaller zip, than the patched kernel and it should boot.
IMPORTANT!
THE FIRST BOOT AFTER THE MILTI DISABLE ZIP NEEDS BETWEEN 3 TO 5 MINUTES!
