Hi everyone, when I install the TWRP using the flashable zip installer and then boot into TWRP it gets stuck in the TWRP logo and when I flash from fastboot it works fine, but I need to install it from flashable zip because I TWRP the I have to start with the partition slot A that also has the custom rom, I can't always change slot partitions every time I have to do operations with the TWRP.
I would also like to note that using the twrp-installer-jasmine_sprout-3.2.3.zip results in the recovery mode sitting on the TWRP logo even if it was a successful install.
I'm hoping someone can find a fix to this soon.

Do you flash the rom before the twrp zip?
I found a workaround instead of using the zip package.
1. Get the current partition you are using:
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
2. Choose which partition you want to install to( in this case I'm using B, but you can use A if you like ) and flash the latest TWRP IMG file:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b twrp-3.2.3-0-jasmine_sprout.img
3. Set the current partition to the one you just flashed:
Code:
fastboot set_active b
Yes but then to go to TWRP to do something I can't always use a PC and from fastboot change slots. I took so long to install Magisk.
I had to dump the boot partition, modify it with magisk manager and flash it with the TWRP, it doesn't seem like anything to dump but to me it was difficult because I don't have root at the beginning.
If I flash the TWRP in the boot partition in the resurrection remix slot, I lose the chance to start the custon rom
Fixed, after the 3000th time I flashed, then the TWRP starts up, I don't know how not to ask me why but now I try to hypothesize 2 solutions:
1) We have to stay for a while with the custom rom, then later when you will try to flash the zip, the TWRP will start.
2) You need to have both Magisk and TWRP installed in the boot in order to start the TWRP flashed from zip without problems.
These solutions do not know if they are like this or I am confusing myself, so it happened to me.
If in doubt, hoping for an update does not hurt, maybe the TWRP will start immediately with no problems in the future.
Tried and tested method to update to DP4 with twrp and root working.
If you update to DP4 directly before installing twrp you will be stuck without twrp.
You need USB pendrive and otg for it.
Steps
1. Update your phone to latest available official version.
2. Boot to fastboot and install TWRP (of course you need boot loader unlocked)
3. Flash DP4 from Thumbrive (keep it in external storage only)
4. Flash Recivery TWRP.zip from thumb drive
5. Reboot recovery
5. Flash DP4 again followed by Twrp.zip
6. Reboot recovery and flash magisk and any other mods you need.
7. Reboot
If you followed every steps correctly you will have working TWRP and root on DP4.
I am using it since DP2 and never had issues.
Note. Since Q diesnt allow twrp to read internal storage you will need usb drive for flashing mod also.
I have uploaded a video with DP4 Features if you want to know about its features.
New features
1. Volte working
2. Names of themes changed
3. System UI settings changed
4. Fingerprint faster
5. Overall phone is faster now.
Removed google assistant swipe shortcut.

You need to use msm tool for reverting to stock
Or Stock reset rom for downgrade.
Then follow my steps
Is there any way to downgrade without MSM tool? I have a Mac. Local update doesn't work. Thanks for the reply.
Try MP version from DP Version package via local upgrade.
This will be available once the official thread is created by oneplus.
Or you may try DP to MP version for DP3

I just used the stock firmware .img file via fastboot. I restored 9.5.7 with no issues. Of course you'll lose all your data.

I was able to install twrp and magisk on dp3, i think you can do it with dp4 aswell.
I just fastboot flash boot twrp.img , it says slot a ok, slot b fail.
So i switched active slots and reboot, which boots to twrp installed on other slot. While in twrp (which cannot access data) i installed twrp through adb, switched active slot and installed twrp again. Same for magisk 19.4 installer.
After installing twrp and magisk to both slots i switched active to B and rebooted, which took me to rooted dp4.
Hope that made any sense
Oh and while in twrp, i used twrp installer (latest) to install twrp to both slots.
why do you possibly need to flash the rom and twrp TWICE? shouldn't the usual upgrade process for a rom if you are already rooted still work?
Flash the Q rom
flash twrp
reboot to recovery
flash magisk?
don't understand the reason to flash both twrp and the rom 2 times as posted in the instructions
regardless, i followed the exact steps and it didn't work for me. i boot to a plain black screen and can't get past it. any ideas?

Repeating the steps twice installs the ROM to both system slots

Can you elaborate on step 2? Do we flash twrp.zip the same as the other steps? or do we flash the twrp-installer?
1. Downloaded the 9.5.11 update from Oxygen Updater (DONT REBOOT)
2. Went to Settings\System\System Update and click on the wheel on upper right corner.
3. Select Local Upgrade, then install the update (DONT REBOOT)
*DO NOT REBOOT after applying the update.
4. Remove Magisk modules that may cause problems (Call Recording is one of them)
5. Launch Magisk, and click the first "install"
6. Choose the "Install to inactive slot (OTA)" option
7. Reboot once completed
8. Download TWRP (from another location) and then go into Magisk and install it, but ***DO NOT REBOOT!!***
9. Install Magisk again. Click Install, then select "Direct Install" option.
10. Reboot
Will this work for DP4 as well????

Downgrade using the rollback package, when I did it on Beta 3 it did not relock my bootloader.

I don't think so - what I've read on Oneplus page, when you hit restart (after installing magisk) it will reboot and during that erase all data. then reboot again to system. So you cannot restart via system updater,, you need use TWRP to flash it, so i would stick to the 1st post instructions (including 2-times install t ocover both slots). But hey, ican be wrong, you can try and let us know, it would be easier for sure
Is this the only way to get root on DP4?
Simple way
Info for TMobile gm1915 on 9.5.11
You must have magisk installed.
Update through local upgrade method and don't reboot. Then go to magisk select modules hit + and find twrp installer install twrp and then choose install magisk choose install to inactive slot. Then reboot.
Data does not get wiped but fingerprints need to be added again.
Also twrp decryption does not work so best to keep otg USB with you with whatever you may want to flash.
You don't have to flash to both slots it's not necessary but do as you wish.

Hi, I followed all the steps in OP and didnt. using latest twrp and magisk 19.3 (stable)
Now my phone is still starting its first boot about 15 minutes.
Update:
Probably the problem: installed magisk modules.
Anyway after some research default twrp is'nt mounfing local storage. The latest custom TWRP is! So no issues with USB Anymore, just use local storage like u used to do! This is actualy the only way to use the Magisk uninstaller because you need to mount data for uninstalling magisk modules.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...nt/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3931322
Anyway it took me a view hours of testing but now it works smooth! ?
Now that we have finally got the update in the EU region I want to know if anyone has successfully flashed TWRP or any other recovery?
In case anyone wondering I have managed to get root with the latest magisk via patched boot image method.
**UPDATE**
I flashed the latest TWRP from this thread and all went smoothly. Also managed to get Viper4android working which was my biggest concern coming from Android 9. Happy days :victory:

I'm currently on MIUI 10.3.4.0 Stable with OrangeFox Recovery installed, Going to attempt updating later since, afaik, OrangeFox has Support for OTA Updates.

Waiting for your feedback, because my orangefox is ready for OTAs but i think because i forgot to check DM VERITY and FORCED ENCRYPTION it asks for password when rebooting for update and ruins it...this is my guess. So please share your feedback and it you checked the 2 options unlike me.

4. Reboot to recovery
5. Install rom zip ( do not reboot after install)
6. Install Magsik
7. Install TWRP img via recovery that you downloaded in step 1
8. Reboot into TWRP

Okay so, coming from 10.3.4.0 Stable, OFox Recovery and encrypted, the update ran through fine without any problems. Since I'm encrypted I had to enter my password first but after that it started installing the Update. as far as I remember, I've seen that Orangefox's script that prevents Orangefox from being overwritten after every update (it's called OTA.bak I think) already handles both DM-Verity and Force-Encrypt on it's own, at least I didn't had to take any further steps regarding Encryption and such stuff and after updating it booted into MIUI 11 just fine (which ofc since it's an Major Update took a little longer than usual but at least it eventually did)

So what do you do when you're on 10.3.4 pfkeuxm Rom and running with twrp and magisk installed?
Can't I install the miui 11 rom via twrp and then immediately flash magisk again?
Following the advice here, I've got the update installed with twrp and magisk working fine. The only problem I have is that I can't read/write the system partition so titanium backup isn't working. Any ideas how I could fix it?
hello guys,
i want to root my redmi 9 with magisk. i tried to use the "patched boot.img method", but everytime i land in a bootloop.
im on miui global 12.5.3 stable, android 11. bootloader unlocked!
i took that magisk version: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v23.0 (v23.0 - as apk)
than i was on that page: https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?device=1900381
on that page i took on the left "redmi 9 global" - which calls:
Code:
Stable ROM
Author: MIUI Official Team
Version: V12.5.3.0.RJCMIXM (MIUI11)
Size: 2.2G
i extracted the archive and copied magisk.apk and boot.img to my download-folder on my smartphone. patched the boot.img with magisk. than copied the patched boot.img to my pc.
after that i bootet the phone into fastboot mode. than i flashed the patched boot.img with fastboot flash boot patchedboot.img - used than fastboot reboot and than im in the bootloop.
can someone tell me, what i am doing wrong?
(ps: when i flash the unpatched boot.img i get no bootloop and my phone is starting again - but of course with no root )
thanks

If I understood correctly, as well as you don't mention about that, you didn't deactivate the AVB mechanism by flashing the stock vbmeta image with the command fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta [your vbmeta.img file], which is documented that if Magisk is installed without that procedure, the device is bootlooping (see this guide).
oh, i see. yes, i didnt use that command. but now i got it working. i read that twrp isnt really compatible with the redmi9 and i need another recovery.
i used that now: https://sourceforge.net/projects/shrp/
vbmeta from post #4: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/dont-use-twrp-on-redmi-9-use-shrp.4334123/
than i did that:
fastboot flash recovery *.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta *.img
fastboot reboot recovery
from there i installed integrated magisk v23.0
phone reboot...got root.
I have read that there are issues with TWRP and Magisk (as far as I know, even its developer mentions that). Although I never got SHRP to work properly on my device and I always get bootloop issues with that. Do you know if it's because of the version I run? I currently run MIUI 11.0.2.0, which I think it's the device's original version.
uh im sorry. im also new to the shrp recovery. i had only used twrp so far.
did you try to flash this version i linked? if its not working you can fast flashback ur twrp. maybe just give it a try?

I don't think I have tried that. I think at the worst case, because I run MIUI I'll just roll back to it's original recovery image. I'm just asking because I don't see mentions of software versions.
what smartphone do you own?
hi, i am trying to root my pixel 4a 5G, i unlocked the bootloader, using twrp-3.6.0_11-0-bramble.img, i also need the twrp zip ,i tried---> fastboot boot twrp.img and booted to trmporary twrp, at this point i need twrp installer to use install button in twrp and intall permanently (do not find! the zip), i would like to root with twrp rather than just through magisk because i always need computer to back up or probably restore my backups
mismatched .img and installer caused google logo stuck, so i had to reflash from google sit, (did not allow to upgrade to pixle 5 {i would have had twrp instller and img})
i guess at this time i am stuck with anroid 11 bramble i just need matching img and installer for pixel 4a 5g
any help appriciated

As your bootloader is unlocked, rooting is rather simple. You don't even need to use TWRP unless you're trying to install a custom ROM.
See my guide here.
If you want to install a custom ROM, all you have to do is put the ROM package (.img or .zip) on the device's internal storage, then live boot TWRP:
Code:
fastboot boot <drag and drop TWRP image>
Wipe /system and /data, then install the ROM.
DO NOT try to install TWRP. Pixels do not have a recovery partition; recovery lives in the boot image and doesn't play nice with Magisk.
