Some manufacturers will restore stock recovery if you reboot device after you Odin a custom recovery.
Try Odin > (uncheck "reboot") TWRP
then vol down + home + power when screen goes black, keep holding power and home button but slide your finger to volume up. It should boot into TWRP

You should have put SuperSu before into your device storage, allow modification when twrp ask you to and then install SuperSu. Installing SuperSu will take you out of the bootloop. Installing only twrp and allowing modifications always gets you to bootloop until you install SuperSu.

Phone keeps rebooting into twrp (3.2.1 official)

I've updated to the latest 3.2.1 twrp for our devices and it keeps rebooting into twrp even though i tell it to reboot to system. I've also updated to magisk 14.6

Did you.....
Fastboot the stock boot.img
Then fastboot the new twrp.img
Then flash the new twrp.zip
Then custom kernel (optional)
Then flash magisk.zip?????

doh! lemme try that
EDIT: Fixed! so you have to do these steps each time you want to update twrp?

I don't necessarily know if you need to this procedure every time. However, given the fact that recovery now resides in the boot.img, I just think it's a little more prudent to start with stock kernel/recovery before trying to modify it. :good:

Tried to root Pixel XL 2 and it keeps rebooting in twrp
I am a novice at this, but first ran "twrp-3.2.1-2-taimen.img. from cmd prompt.
Then using TWRP installed " twrp-pixel2-installer-taimen-3.2.2-0.zip" everything was fine.
Then installed "Magisk-v16.1(1610).zip" and now keeps rebooting to TWRP.
I can get to fastboot and rerun twrp-3.2.1-2-taimen.img, but then cannot find the zip files to install or flash.
any help greatly appreciated!

If your post is correct, it appears your using two different twrp's?? Anyways, lets try this. Make sure your screen lock is set to swipe or none. Then fastboot twrp 3.2.2-0.img. Once in twrp, flash the twrp 3.2.2-0 installer zip, then flash your magisk zip and see what happens. Flashing a custom kernel is also recommended after you flash the twrp.zip, and before you flash your magisk zip :good:

I just wanted to create an account to say THANK YOU! I had the same exact issue, and your solution worked. I did not realize I needed to reflash magisk zip.
So again, thank you @Badger50

Messed up with TWRP

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?

Download the 14mb FlashKernel-Taimen-v2.30.zip instead and put it in your phone to flash from within TWRP, followed by the magisk zip

There is no solution for that. Xposed always fails SafetyNet.

Is Xposed worth having these days? Are people still actively developing useful mods?

I think it's worth it, for the following apps:

I've had so many problems with TWRP on this phone that I don't even flash it anymore. If I need to flash a zip file I just fastboot into TWRP and flash it that way. Kind of a pain in the ass but I don't flash many zip files anyway.

No problems with TWRP here. Maybe you are flashing to the wrong slot.

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.

TWRP won't stick

I've been trying to find a way to get TWRP recovery to stick to our device but couldn't find any solution. When ever I install TWRP fastboot mode, I can use it but if I want to flash something else and try to boot in TWRP again, it boots into stock recovery. Please can someone tell me how to do it?

you need twrp.img in sd card. once you boot into twrp. select at bottom and change .zip to .img so you can select twrp.img then install it and select recovery swipe to flash and your twrp will be there whenever you boot into twrp.

Its happen to me.
Boot to twrp.img official with fastboot ( fastboot boot twrp.img )
Flash your recovery ( many exists , New pitchblack is great )
Then LazyFlasher

you can also use orange fox recovery and thats it. itll be installed next time you boot into recovery.

not the file but the format twrp is reading at default is zip. so if you place a .img file you wont see it when you browse for it.
when you press install in the next screen on bottom right says image click to change to .img so twrp.img will appear.

I was on ww 1908.12 with twrp installed. I then updated to magisk 20.0 by flashing the zip through twrp. This caused me to lose twrp and I get an error unbootable slot when trying to enter into recovery now. Since there is no dev support I figure I'm not missing much without it. I was able to update to the latest firmware ww1908.25 by downloading the file from the op gdrive link. Moving it to root then apply update. Go to magisk install to inactive slot and reboot.
