TWRP not persistent

Hi guys,
I've just updated to newest OOS firmware wich is 5.1.2 and I'm facing a weird problem.
Every time I flash codeworks TWRP and reboot to system, the next time i try to boot to recovery it boots to the original recovery.
It's like when I flash TWRP it doesn't remain persistent. When i flash it through fastboot and straightly boot from fastboot to recoverry I succeed to get in TWRP but as soon as I reboot to system and try to boot to recovery I reach the original OnePlus recovery.
Is anyone facing the same problem ?
And also do you have any idea about what i could do to solve this problem ?
Thanks in advance for your answers !

If you don't have root or custom kernel its normal, plus you should use blu spark's twrp, its newer and more reliable.

Indeed, I just needed to flash magisk to get it persistent. I'll try blu spark's one as you suggested.
Thank you very much for your answer !
Cheers !

Nothing to do with recoveries or kernel. After you do the fastboot flash recovery TWRP in fastboot, do this: "fastboot boot TWRP". I believe that's the right command. Basically after you flash it, manually boot to recovery through fastboot one time. After that it'll work from inside the phone or with the button combination with the phone off.

Jesus people are lazy these days.
First off there are official twrp versions for a reason!
Download the latest version: https://dl.twrp.me/dumpling/
Reboot into flash boot with the following command from your rom: adb reboot bootloader
With phone in fastboot mode: fastboot flash recovery 'twrp.img'
(You don't need to type out the entire file path you can just drag the file into the terminal and it'll insert the file location)
The reason you're not getting back into that recovery is because you're not booting into the recovery before you reboot into your ROM.
There is an option to boot straight into the recovery from the fastboot mode

Actually not that lazy because I used to do what you mentionned.
The thing is that a flash of Magik is needed to patch twrp. That's the step I forgot in the procedure and explained here.
So before being unpleasant, please know what you're talking about...

OUTDATED***[GUIDE] Basic guide to flash a recovery and a rom via recovery in Mi A3.

This is a basic guide to flash a rom via recovery in Mi A3 as title says.
Is created to help all those that want but can't.
Please read before act, and if you don't understand....well read again.
Mi A3 is a device with treble support, and while is not difficult to flash a rom,is a little bit tricky process.
So here are the detailed steps to do achieve that.
First things first, you've got to have your bootloader unlocked. Follow below steps to do that:
-Enable developer options by going to settings/about phone and clicking 5 times on build number.
Inside developer options:
-Find and enable OEM unlocking.
-Find and enable USB debugging.
In adb tools type:
-
Code:
adb devices
reboot to bootloader.
-
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Unlock bootloader(you will lose all your data).
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
When the device reboot, boot once again in fastboot by powering off then power on while pressing vol down button.
Type command to full unlock bootloader.
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Proceed to recovery flash
Notice that you've got to have all files ready, either inside external sd or in your pc. All files are at the end of this thread as links or attachments.
Also i'm suggesting OrangeFox recovery for now because is the most stable.
-First you following the orangefox recovery installation guide:
- Download the OrangeFox zip file from here or the link at the end and copy it to your device (internal or external storage)
- Extract the recovery.img from the zip and store it, on the folder where you have adb and fastboot files, on your PC
- Open a cmd line and execute these commands (being on that folder, of course):
-
Code:
adb devices
(to make sure your device is detected)
-
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(to reboot into fastboot mode)
-
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
(to check what's your current active slot)
-
Code:
fastboot set_active b
(if your active slot was a, if it was b then change it to a)
-
Code:
fastboot erase boot
-
Code:
fastboot flash boot recovery.img [b](OR WHATEVER NAME YOUR RECOVERY HAVE)[/b]
-
Code:
fastboot reboot
(NOTE : Before hitting "Enter", long press Vol + on your device until you see the Android One logo.
-->> By doing this your device will be forced to boot into Recovery and not into System <<--
- Install the OrangeFox zip (always install the latest build available and always keep a copy of recovery zip file in your external sd)
- Change slot to the one that was active on the beginning of these steps and reboot to Recovery (just to make sure that the slot, in fact, was changed)
After orangefox recovery is installed, you are ready to flash your rom.
You can move your rom files inside your external or internal memory(prefer external to avoid deleting them accidentally).
To do that you can either do it before the whole procedure, or after the recovery installation since you have mtp and adb available.
Copy them drag them or push them via adb(i'm not going to extend the adb push command here)
Now the flashing steps:
-Go to partition manager inside orangefox recovery and select data/format data(red button) and press format.Type YES.
-Go back and find the rom file inside your target directory(internal or external).
-Select the rom file and flash it.
-DO NOT REBOOT.
-Go back where you have the orangefox zip file, select it and flash it.
-Leave the device as is because after the installation it will reboot itself to recovery once again.
-Once the recovery starts again go to the target folder that you have the remaining files.
-Flash magiskV20.zip (if you want your device to be rooted).
-Flash Gapps if there are any or skip this step if your ROM provider have them included.
-Flash patchnofde10 zip to avoid data encryption(if you don't do that the rom will NOT boot).
-Reboot to system and enjoy.
All files are available to the links below.
Patchnofde file is attached to this post.

Okay I got it to boot to Havoc OS but my wifi and gsm calls stopped working. Also videos were flashing during playback. I guess I was doing something wrong during the whole flashing process and the device ended up without the correct firmware.
I have reverted back to stock using one of the fastboot ROM flashing scripts and everything is fine, though I would like to go Android 10 without GAPPS if possible.

Thank you very much for the guide. Do you recommend any backup with orange box? If I want to revert to stock rom, do I need to know something?

How could I update the ROM?

That's because you didn't follow it to the letter.
You have to flash Patchnofde to boot to rom.

Same as above.
If you don't flash patch for the encryption, you ll end up to recovery again. Also I recommend to read carefully the steps with the recovery flashing. You have to be sure that the slot is what it was at the beginning.
A out the Android backup, yes. You can take and restore backups freely.

Hello,
@sotmax
Thank you for your guide.
@ANyOne i have unlocked the bootloader, but after that, when i'm in fastboot mode, i'm not being detected by the adb devices command. Any idea why ?

Because ADB and fastboot are different modes and using different commands. In fastboot use "fastboot devices".

Question How to root without twrp

My problem is that I have installed a custom rom that is no longer in support in XDA .
So when I tried to to boot using fastboot boot twrp.img command my device won't boot in twrp therefore I am not able to install twrp hence magisk is still not working.
Is there any other way to root my mi 11x witouht using custom recovery.

Yes. It's the twrp fastboot method.
1. First of all you need the boot.img from your ROM. For a fastboot ROM it's in the Images folder. For an OTA you have to use a payload.bin extractor.
2. Then install the magisk manager app and use patch boot.img
3. Then install the patched boot.img through fastboot

Maybe they used the wrong boot.img for their ROM. Are you using MIUI? If so it may be more difficult as you've got to get the correct version from firmware finder. Even then magisk might not like your MIUI install. I've heard people running custom ROMs able to install magisk on Mi11X. E.g HavocOS, ArrowOS etc
This is the only way to install magisk properly at the moment
Edit: if you prefer MIUI there is another alternative by flashing on of the improved MIUI ROMs (they just take MIUI and add slightly extra features and improve performance). I can't link the telegram group on XDA but you can PM me

To install twrp do this:
(pre requisites)
-driver for f3 installed;
-adb and fastboot or platform tool (preferable) on the pc;
-usb debugging enabled on the phone.
Therefore:
1) download the .img file of the twrp you want to install, I used this:
Downloads for : Xiaomi Redmi K40 / Poco f3 | AndroidFileHost.com | Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
androidfilehost.com
2) rename the file to twrp.img (for convenience);
3) move the trwp.img file to the adb and fastboot folder (if you use adb) or to the platform tool folder (if you use platform);
4) always in the same folder open a cmd window (go to the address bar, type cmd and press enter);
5) after activating usb debug on the phone, turn it off, start it in fastboot (long press of Power + volume -) and connect it to the pc;
6) check if fastboot recognizes the phone with this command:
Code:
fastboot devices
If your phone code appears you can start it in twrp.
7) to start it in twrp type this command:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
8) now the phone should automatically boot into twrp, so go to Advanced> Flash Current TWRP
done, you should now have twrp installed. for the root there is this guide:

Decrypting working? Will working on future Android 13 with decrypting? I know that dev received Android 13 already

Yes decrypting working fine, even on Android 13

When I updated yesterday, I immediately flashed it without losing data. For today's update, why doesn't it turn on, you have to turn on the new data format, is there the same or a solution

Can I just boot it with fastboot and flash Magisk flashable file in order to root the phone?
I have seen videos on youtube showing exactly that, just wanted to make sure it's doable.
Just want to root the phone, do not intend to flash any rom (yet).

If you already have your magisk_patched.img, you can choose which method you want:
1. with Fastboot + TWRP (temporary)
fastboot boot [drag and drop recovery.img]
flash your magisk_patched.img in boot partition + check "Flash to both slots"
reboot to system
2. only Fastboot
fastboot flash boot_a [drag and drop magisk_patched.img]
fastboot flash boot_b [drag and drop magisk_patched.img]
fastboot reboot

What if I would "fastboot boot TWRP.img" and then flash Magisk flashable version checking "flash to both slots"?

When you check "Flash to both slots" TWRP will flash the makisk_patched.img to boot_a and boot_b.
I'm not sure, but if you don't check the box, TWRP will maybe flash to inactive slot and you are NOT rooted.
Edit: You can check which slot is active with adb shell getprop ro.boot.slot_suffix

Is it possible to make a backup of the installed rom with relative restore using this official twrp? If yes, which files to select

ok... i can't access to internal storage via pc. I formated data (type yes), rebooted to recovery again and my pc sees internal storage but there is no info about size and i can't copy files to it. It shows message something like "this device is disconnected". I tried to reinstall adb drivers, tried to restart my pc and it's not working. I used adb sideload to falsh ROM and after i booted to ROM, rebooted to recovery I can access internal storage via TWRP.

Runs super laggy with kernel compiled with gcc which is very strange and annoying.

Can't access storage with PC... Disabled and enabled MTP multiple times...
I had to flash ROM via OTG...

Oppo A83 [CPH1729] TWRP RECOVERY

⚠Warning: This is not official TWRP, use it at your own risk!!!
Data will be erased. Back up if neccessary
This device is kind of weird so to flash twrp you need these things:
1. Prepare materials​
Install driver so as to have access to preloader (Just install automatically and no need to do anything in device manager)
This software to access to preloader -> fastboot (fastboot is somehow not available via adb methods) Enter fastboot
This tool for flashing
2. Unlock bootloader (need testpoint, python, git (optional) - you can search on google)​
Use this tool - go to this section. Follow guides to unlock bootloader (remember to use testpoint not hardware buttons)
3. Enter fastboot mode​
Use latest MTK META Ultility tool
Select Reboot Fastboot Mode in BRom section
Hold volume down button. While holding connect it to your computer
*Now your phone is in fastboot mode​4. Flash​
Open platform-tools folder in Downloads folder
Shift + Right click then "open command window here"
Input these commands into cmd
fastboot flash boot drag twrp file to cmd
fastboot flash recovery drag twrp file to cmd.
fastboot reboot. Swipe to allow modification in twrp (to make sure that stockboot wont replace twrp). After that reboot to recovery to make it installed on your device permanently.
Now your recovery is ready to flash file you can push stock image file to your root folder using adb command: "adb push. Drag the stock image file. /" (Because Decryption right now doesnt work on my device yet)
Enjoy
*Sounds crazy but it is required to make sure twrp is installed correctly​*If successful, when you power on, you will get a red section on top of your device. If you want to recover to stock recovery, flash the recovery.img below.​*Also, if you want to make your own twrp, you can try recovery.img below.​
Also thanks SebaUbuntu and Mofadal El-Tayeb (مُفَضَّل) for awesome apps
