Hi all,
Good news is I get the "how to root" stuff. But one aspect remains a bit unclear.
I did search but I didn't find a clear answer. If I would clean flash a full update (signed flashable zip), do you loose TWRP and root?
If yes, is the only option to reinstall TWRP-recovery and reroot?
kr,
Jeroen
You wouldn't lose TWRP, but root might give you problems depending on what method you used to root.
Best to do a full unroot, flash update, then re-root.

Method would be just flashing Su or Magisk from TWRP. A full unroot is the same as a clean flash I suppose?
Both SuperSU and Magisk have uninstall methods. I think Magisk has an uninstall zip you can flash.

I just got mine. Already unlocked bootloader.. Flashing TWRP now.. Then I will flash the latest update to see how it goes.

Okay, so I had TWRP installed and no Magisk. I took the OTA through System Update screen...
I lost TWRP and gained stock recovery back. Everything else went fine. So I guess system update wipes TWRP! Oh, well. Easy fix.
Wait for OTA updates this is normal. You need full ROM flashable zips. For the 5 there was a topic in which they got posted. Don't know yet for the 5T. But as you say rerooting is hardly a chore

From the heck of it today I tried uninstalling magisk by flashing the uninstaller in twrp and through magisk manager in system. After both methods my phone wouldn't get past the OnePlus splash screen.
How can you get phone to boot after unrooting and restoring the stock boot image through Magisk?

Hmm, that is interesting. Try taking the OTA zip using the official method (but use TWRP file manager to move it in place).
Or just flash official system image. You can get it from this forum.
Losing TWRP
Help! Trying to install twrp. Able to flash, but after reboot, phone reverts back to original recovery. Also, while in twrp- was not able to do anything... Figure something to do with encryption? In twrp formatted data, then was able to back up... Thought it fixed the problem, but still reverting back to original.
Thanks.

Hi,
I understand this is probably a common problem with a simple fix, but this is my first attempt to root. My phone is unlocked and s-off, running 3.37.605.7. I used TWRP to install SuperSU and then after rebooting, it was stuck in a bootloop. After doing some research I think maybe I installed the wrong version of SuperSU, but I can't figure out how to fix it. I did a backup with adb beforehand, but when I tried restoring it said to unlock my phone and confirm, and I can't unlock my phone. I tried doing the restore command with TWRP open and it seemed to do something at first, but then nothing. I'm really stuck and would appreciate some help.
Thanks!
Are you wanting to keep the data you have on the phone or, would you be OK with starting fresh?

After you get TWRP back, flash View attachment BETA-SuperSU-v2.65.zip to get root.
I just went through the same mess as you with the newer SuperSu versions. I read somewhere that 2.65 was the latest that would work and this is the zip I used.

Unable to boot
Anyone having issues with this ROM. I flashed using TWRP 2.8.7.0, S-OFF and Unlocked, after flashing, phone reboots into aboot and i select reboot, and it rebots to aboot again without booting to the rom.
Can someone help me please? I have been through this root process installed TWRP and made a nandroid back up, rebooted into system (all good) checked root and response is my device isn't rooted? I don't want to brick the phone as it is essential please advise. Thanks in advance
Did you flash either SuperSU or Magisk?
TWRP is a custom recovery, not a root solution. It's like a tiny operating system that your phone can boot to to make changes on the main OS. You will need to flash another zip in TWRP in order to gain root access.

No it just overwrites it.. If you flash a rom you need to flash supersu every time you do that. Same goes for kernels most of the time.
Hi dudes! Im trying to find a way to install Monthly Updates without loose the root and the custom recovery, some body can tell me how? Because im really want update to Oreo but i want be root user and dont have to make a clean install system every month... exist the way? Please help.... And Thanks!
What I do is flash all the updated partition images individually using "fastboot flash", then let it boot and settle for a few minutes (at the very least until the "performing updates" notification completes).
I then reboot into bootloader and from there boot into TWRP (without installing it) using "fastboot boot twrp.img" and then reinstall Magisk zip. None of Magisk's settings or modules are lost by doing it this way.
If you uninstall Magisk before updating the system, you risk losing its settings.
You can use Flashfire.

Now it is competible with magisk and if you want magisk instead of supersu on installation process you can disabel the installation of supersu and ad magisk to flash afterwards. you can also use the factory images or full ota zips from googles website.
Yes, you can use TWRP's "Advanced" adb sideload feature to install Magisk zip.
"adb" only works when Android is running (or some recovery images are running). When the phone is in bootloader mode the tool you need is "fastboot".

Magisk embeds itself in the boot partition. This prevents OTA from working.
Replacing the stock recovery partition also stops OTA from working.
The only reliable way to upgrade is by flashing the partitions again from the new factory image zip file, then reinstalling TWRP and Magisk afterwards.

Sounds logic to me....
FlashFire is saying that the update will likely fail because the OTA update is a block level update. Suggestions on how to get around this?
Hi all, got TWRP installed OK on my Pixel 2 XL, hit reboot and then it goes straight back into TWRP, but with no Touch. So, thought I could flash a new kernel (Flash?) but... no ADB! I guess the phone hasn't probably booted so ADB can't see the phone.
Any options at this point?!

If your phone boots back to bootloader on reboot, you did something wrong. Reflash system imgs and start over.
Thanks! Is that a matter of following the guides on the official google download page and getting the factory images?

Yes. If you don't want your data wiped, open the install.bat file and take off the -w.
Did you unlock your bootloader correctly? Unlock critical? I believe the pixel 2 xl is the only phone where that has to be done.
Boot into bootloader and fastboot flash recovery.img again, once your in recovery, flash the recovery.zip from your storage again, then reboot recovery.... its happened to me, usually when I switch slots, all I have to do is reflash recovery.
Also note, If I am trying to boot at that point (rather than flash a ROM), I usually just flash the kernel and magisk and I'm good to go.
Thanks all! I flashed the patched boot.img again and it seems to be working OK
OK, this whole thing is confusing me now! I get TWRP installed then I have to re-flash my boot.img before I quit TWRP (a magisk patched version of Flash) or the phone keeps booting to TWRP. Thats fine, but when I've flashed the boot.img I loose TWRP!

Yes you do loose twrp after flashing the boot.img. the reason being that stock recovery resides in the boot.img. So when you flash it, bye..bye twrp! Why not just fastboot twrp, then once in twrp, flash the twrp installer zip, then flash your custom kernel(if used) then flash the magisk zip for root. :good:
Ok! So this is where I'm confused. The Flash Kernel is called boot.img? So I'm flashing it in twrp with the boot option?

No. Flash kernel is just the kernel, the boot.img is from the factory image. Flash the zip version of Flash kernel in twrp, then flash magisk.zip :good:
Ok. So here a shot of my confusion! The file I got from Flash is this one, flashkernel-taimen.v.2.30-boot.img. The three choices I'm being given by TWRP is boot, system or vendor?

I keep hoping Xposed will go die in a fire. It causes more problems than it solves, to the point ROM developers will tell you not to bother reporting issues with it installed. Rovo knows his stuff, but his creation has caused more damage to custom ROM development than Cyanogenmod did in its last three years.

I'm generally curious how many times, and in how many threads, you're going to ask this question.
1) Flash DP3. Let the device boot, log in, set it up, etc.. I do NOT enable a pin/pattern yet.
2) Reboot to the bootloader & fastboot TWRP.
3) Flash Magisk 16.4.
4) Boot into the system & have root.
I've done this process damn near 10x going between dp2/8.1/dp3. There is no special trick to it.

Semantics. OP's post, and general boggle, is that they cannot obtain root on DP3. My response was directly related to the OPs post, and last like 10 comments across this sub. What OP had is presently irrelevant since the current goal is to obtain root. If the OP had an additional question as to how to obtain static TWRP I would have addressed that at a later date/time or your response would have been appropriate. Perhaps I took it for granted that the OP had an understanding on how to get static TWRP but, again, the point of this thread is getting root on DP3 which my response answers & yours does not.

No, flash Magisk unless you want to try a custom kernel. If so, flash it before Magisk, flash Magisk, then reboot.
After flashing magisk, the phone will not reboot, instead keeping me in a bootloop and sending me back into TWRP. Any ideas? Im happy to go back to stock if thatll make my phone work again!

Hey,
I was installing from P (9.0 DP3)
I installed TWRP first by flashing the image and then installing the zip file on to the phone.
Next i installed magisk, the installation all went through absolutely fine.
When i hit reboot, it goes onto the white splash screen, then brings up a small progress bar that goes across. This lasts for a minute or two, then dumps me back into TWRP.
I attempted all ways listed, and i end up Booting into Stock Recovery with a corrupt message forcing me to Power Off or Factory Reset or i got stuck at the Loading "G". Ended up restoring my June 8.1.0 Back up. Thanks for trying to help... I'll wait till there is more info on the subject...

A complete wipe when going to P is the best way to ensure there are no problems but what has worked for me is after installing dp3, rebooting to fastboot, booting to TWRP and doing a factory reset in TWRP. You will not lose data but will have to set your phone up as new. Then, boot back to fastboot and following the instructions as stated in the prior posts to gain root and recovery.

Which version of TWRP are you using (twrp-3.2.1-2 is the latest)? Are you seeing errors in the twrp gui while flashing? I'm not sure what you mean by "more info on it" because it's literally just flash the Magisk zip then reboot. The only things I can think of are that you're using an older version of twrp or the magisk zip is corrupt giving you a bad install.

Flash your magisk 16.4 file.
