I have my phone rooted with stock firmware and presumably it is 32bit. So I was looking to flash a custom rom which are 64bit. They require 64bit TWRP, once that's flashed, is there any reason I can't get back to 32 if I wanna run stock again?

for some reason, i'm able to flash any custom rom i want, but any other file, it gives me error everytime, like gapps, xospapps, supersu, etc. i'm not so sure if the twr is corrupted or i installed one that is not compatible with my phone, but that shouldn't be the case i think, because like i said, i can install custom roms without a problem, edit: i forgot to mention, i'm unable to install gapps, x86, x64, arm, arm64
bump, i really need help on this, i swear i've spent over 4 entire days trying to solve this crap, unlocking/locking bootloader, supersu, rootking, etc. fastboot drivers, adb, everything, still no clue what is going on, i can't install gapps, i can't go on with the rom i installed, is freaking useless as it is, i can't even flash (overwrite) the current twrp because i need to flash with it or adb, and none are working, but just for now, i need to know, why i can't install any gapps
I SOLVED IT !!! first of all, if you having the same issue as me, DO NOT EVER INSTALL AN UPDATED VERSION OF TWRP, ok, so the way i made it, it was downgrading my rom/kernel in order to root my phone, cause it was literally impossible, kingroot, supersu, emma, flashtool, nothing worked, so once i downgrade my rom, i installed an older version of twrp, and then i root my phone, which it was possible due to having a less secured version of the kernel, and that's it, i could install gapps, flash roms, etc.
I have root my xperia sp 4.3 and install Oreo 8.1. But forget to install Gapps. But Now, when I try to flash from TWRP, it show me. devices is not rooted. how can i install Gapps? can I get help about it
man, I can't flah or wipe data or system, nor install twrp anymore
I flashed Comisc 8.1, but couldn't root it with magisk.. Then I installed substratum and flashed an update to Cosmic.OS.
Now, I can't return to my old version without the substratum...
I cant install TWRP, nor another OS via ADB ((
Hi guys. I have an unrooted phone and got the recent official Oreo update (32 bit) from Moto. My phone is the made in india version. I want to install Pixel Experience [AOSP][r26] rom. What are the steps I need to follow? Do I have to root the device first? What are some issues that may arise? I heard there's a problem with kernel where device runs at 1.4 GHz instead of 2 GHz.

Hello, first thing you need to do is flash a custom recovery, I highly recommend TWRP for you device, you can find here at Moto g5s plus XDA forum in kernel and custom posts. After you flash the custom recovery you flash magisk (root) through TWRP. At the same posts you can search and find the correct custom Rom for your device, or search on Google for pixel experience website and download the rom from there. Before you flash the rom make a full backup of your phone (system partitions, etc...) with TWRP. I recommend use a SD card to store the rom to flash. There is a lot of risks, but if you do everything that the rom tutorial says I doubt that something bad is going to happen. If you get stuck at TWRP or at boot loop you can flash the original Rom for you device through fastboot and fastboot mode.
What I always do
1 flash twrp
2 reboot for twrp and wipe, advanced wipe, wipe system, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik-cache
3 flash rom, flash gapps, flash magisk
I'm having difficulty getting TWRP 3.3 working on my z3c. I'm not new to the process, and have done it a few times on a few phones. Right now my z3c has TWRP 3.0.2-1-z3c. I'm wanting to try the new Android 10 ROM that came out, but it requires TWRP 3.3 to work. So I got the TWRP provided in the thread. I'm flashing from Linux, so I did run
Code:
./fastboot flash recovery twrp 3.3.1-1-A10.0-z3c.img
When I reboot and hold the power down button it skips over TWRP and just boots the ROM I have installed.
Okay, so I downgrade to TWRP 3.0.2-1 and reboot...hold volume down...TWRP boots just fine.
Flash TWRP 3.3 again....no joy. It just boots straight to ROM.

Same. Couldnt find a proper answer to this. Still have trouble with this? I'm on CR6.1, that's android 8.1 and I'd like to try later versions (lineage os or maybe CR7.0)

Screwed badly with the systems to the point where I softbricked the phone, and had to revert to stock. Will try going straight to 3.3.1 instead now.
Edit: I used adb to go to fastboot (adb reboot bootloader), from there I tried all the different twrp images I have, including latest Android 10 one using the fastboot boot image.img (replace image by name of image, I name them A8, A9, A10 to match android version).
All of them booted, which means I can flash them without issues. I don't know which version I want to install though for now, and I don't want to be stuck again on a version that I won't be able to upgrade later on... so will probably go straight to A10 and Lineage 17 even if it's quite buggy.

did you found a solution? i have the same issue...
Hi
A few months ago I was able to flash on angelica lineage-17.1-20210326-UNOFFICIAL-angelica.zip and this worked well. Yesterday I tried to flash the s same image again and after several attempts I get a black backlit screen when lineage is meant to start. I reflash stock _V12.0.10.0.QCRMIXM then a recovery - PBRP 3.0.1. From there I was having issue
What is the flashing process for an unlocked device that has something like TWRP/Pitch Back/Orange Fox installed?
I guess once you unlock and can flash the recover you use the recover to flash the zip, then reboot and flash magisk.zip and everything should work? Or is there some step missing.
I had this problem too with the google pixel 7 pro. Can't help ya there on that one. I even tried re installing older firmware and it still didn't work. Maybe the bootloader is permanetly downgradable but the firmware of the stock is. Just a guess. Lineage os 20 is an unofficial build at the moment that receives hardly any updates.
