Magisk, TWRP issues and regarding OTA... - Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Greetings. I'm not native speaker and I'm not sure which word I should use (ROM or firmware), but its version is 11.0.2.0(PGGMIXM) on my phone. Miui Global 11.0.2 Stable. Android 9 PPR1.180610.011. If I'm correct my TWRP is gone (nothing happens after holding vol up and power button for 5 seconds, device is off, ofc. Phone is just turn on after I release them). My Magisk acts like this:
Youtube
It would be super good if I can keep all my data and lose nothing. Also don't get a brick.
1) Most important question rn is how to properly unistall magisk. I don't have any backups atm as well. Flash TWRP for Anroid 9, backup, flash uninstall.zip through it ?
2) In what condition my phone should be in order to be able to update via OTA ? Do I need to lock BL, which will 'cause all data reset iirc ? What about root/no root state ? Can I update somehow to the latest official (rom or firmware/Android 11) without data loss ? Current update my phone offers me is 11.06.0.PGGMIXM Stable 443M

So far I've tried to flash recovery, but after "fastboot boot recovery.img" phone just reboot itself and nothing happens. Tried 2 different version of recovery - nothing.

Stuck on team win recovery project please help

I have no idea how to root or anything like that, I bought this oneplus 3 and had a update a week later.. so when I did the software update it took me into teamwin recovery mode and now I don't know how to get back into my phone please help....
Did you buy the phone second hand or did you try to flash TWRP yourself? It shouldn't have TWRP installed by default.
Regardless, you can use TWRP to flash the latest update.
Given that you have TWRP, I'm assuming that you have an unlocked bootloader. Did you notice a warning pop up everytime you reboot your phone before? It should say something along the lines of "your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted". If not, you'll have to unlock it (it wipes your phone in the process).
If the bootloader is unlocked, you can simply download and flash the latest zip for OOS 4.0.3 in TWRP. This will update you phone and replace TWRP with the stock recovery (so you don't run into this problem again in the future when installing an OTA). If you don't intend to modify your phone in any way, then this is all you need to do, your phone should be functional.
There are plenty of threads with detailed guides on how to do all of this.
I'm also stuck on TWRP after stupidly downloading the latest OTA and I don't know what to do!
Phone won't boot normal, just goes off.
Situation:
- Bootloader, Fastboot and TWRP wil load.
- Device seen by windows
- Zip install in TWRP gets stuck at 'patching zip unconditiontally'
- Another zip flashes, but gets stuck at the end, no reboot option (manually but that's not the way)
Can someone please point me in the right direction? I don't care if I lose data, just want my phone back!

Simple, check the OnePlus D/L sites for this one http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/recovery_op3.img and flash it by TWRP or fastboot to RECOVERY. Boot once with the official Recovery and all ist fine again.
This is issue of using a faulty twrp so for that when ur phone us booting up go to fastboot and flash twrp 3.0.4-1 and everything will work

Similar Problem here:
just wanted to flash latest OOS 4.0.3, so I flashed back stock recovery with flashify and rebooted into recovery mode to flash the already downloaded OOS 4.0.3. zip. That's when it began to go poop! After rebooting it just went dark with no Chance to power it on again! No dice with power button, Volume up/down + power button, nothing! Not even the LED's are blinking when plugged in. So this one seems to be basically dead!
I got it once booting again after randomly pushing the buttons (after x minutes!?), but everytime I reboot the phone it just shuts off without beeing able to power it on again. At the Moment it's dead!
Any ideas what might happened? If I get it on again, should I immediately reset it to factory Settings?
I am kinda lost here! Any help/ideas would be much appreciated!
Flashify? Never used it and never trusted apps which flash stuff on a running system. Use fastboot and reflash the recovery partition. Link to recovery is in my former post.

Thank you for your advice! Still a lot to learn! Got it up again, will try as you suggested!
It appeared that my stock recovery file was corrupted , but all is fine again! Thank you very much!

I may have been the person you traded with to get the OnePlus 3, but I took the phone back and after 5 hours I got it up and running.
The phone would boot to TWRP, but even after wiping the entire system and dragging a ROM zip to the internal storage, reinstalling did nothing. It just kept booting back to recovery.
The solution entailed the following.
Download stock recovery IMG. Flashed through TWRP. Rebooted recovery and now was back to stock recovery.
Download the official OxygenOS ROM zip from the OnePlus website and changed the name to update.zip
Next I downloaded Android studio for access to ADB. I had never used ADB before, but I knew this was needed to push a file to the phone.
Needless to say, ADB kept freezing my computer when I would type in the commands to side load.
I deleted Android studio and installed a minimal ADB/Fastboot I found online. I opened my command prompt, typed the command for sideloading, and immediately got my installation starting. It took about 10 minutes to fully install. When it was finished, I rebooted and had a fully functioning OnePlus 3

Swift won't boot into system - straight back to bootloader fastboot mode

I'm trying to be helpful to someone and failing . I've not seen this issue before.
I have a WileyFox Swift that has been unlocked and has TWRP as custom recovery. Internal storage has an installation zip in it so looks like an attempt has been made to flash it. Can't Restore, not sure if a Backup was done. When powered-on it jumps straight to bootloader - fastboot mode. (Start/Power off/Recovery mode/Restart bootloader). Options all work as expected except Start which goes back to bootloader. I can also connect to the handset via usb and receive a response to 'fastboot devices' and other commands.
From TWRP I have installed Lineage nightly rom and the installation has completed successfully. Same for Gapps but the reboot option jumps straight back to bootloader (no sign of a system splash screen). A 'Fastboot continue' command at this point causes a flickering recovery splash screen and then back into bootloader again. I've been in bootloops before but usually a step further on than this. Anybody seen this before - am I missing something obvious?
Hi
Method 1
-if u want to install lineage os
install lineage and reboot it without installing gapps after that install gapps . Hope it works
Method 2
- if method 1 doesn't work for you you need to download and install stock rom for wileyfox swift by adb (fastboot)
See ya
Thanks for the reply. The problem with finding a stock rom is that the Swift shipped with Cyanogen OS 12 (not CyanogenMod). Cyanogen is no more and all links to their website have gone so it's hard to track them down.
I removed the battery from my Swift earlier today and forgot about it for about one hour- I think this has made the difference as I flashed a CyanogenMod 14 rom, rebooted to system and it worked :good:. Went back and flashed Gapps and it worked again :good:. I have an older OS than I want but am fine for the moment.
Good for you

Android pie has messed up my twrp and gcam...

Hey everyone, so I saw that there was a new update for MIUI Developer ROM (9.3.28) and I decided to download it. After I downloaded it, i opened twrp and flashed it with lazyflasher as I always do. After the phone boots normally, i realised that the phone had been upgraded to android pie, so I went to check google camera to see if it was working still, but it didnt. So I went back to TWRP to try to enable HAL3 via adb shell, but when i opened TWRP i saw a strange message. It asked for a password in order to decrypt my data. this was the first time i saw it and after searching a bit I tried to use my phones password, but it didnt work. I decided to ignore the message and just open adb shell and enable HAL3. The thing is that when I tried to open it said device not found, which is really strange ( im using the same computer as i was before, adb is installed of course ). I had no choice but to downgrade to stable, so I tried to downgrade to stable rom. Downloaded the rom, but when i chose "choose package" it wouldnt let me install the stable one because it was an older version of android....
So long story short, Android Pie has left me with a non-working Google Camera, TWRP and no ability to downgrade or flash and ROMs.
Any help would be appreciated

Same problem with me. I tried everything but no luck and now I am unable to use camera2api. So i thought to root my phone and edit build prop manually but when I flashed magisk my phone stuck at boot logo. I lost all my data and I had to flash with mi flash tool. Luckily my bootloader was unlocked.
After flashing Pie, you have to flash a TWRP recover for MIUI Pie. This will allow to decrypt your device (data will be erased).
If you want to rollback to stable (as I did), download fastboot ROM via MIUI official site, boot to bootloader and flash it via flash_all.bat file included in the ROM (assuming you have fastboot on your PC).

Applying Magisk to OnePlus 3 on Android Pie results in a soft-brick

Yesterday I took some time to attempt to upgrade my OnePlus to Android Pie after finding out earlier that it's not as simple as just installing an update when your boot loader is unlocked. After a bit of searching I found this guide which I followed to upgrade OxygenOS to version 9.0.5. After some initial problems (I didn't pay enough attention and TWRP was set to auto-reboot which complicated matters a little) I managed to finish the upgrade and the device booted.
After confirming everything worked well I figured I should flash Magisk back onto the device so that I would have root access again. I flashed Magisk 19.3 and tried to boot the phone but it got stuck on the spinning OnePlus logo during boot. Left it running for over an hour, nothing happened so eventually I decided to flash the OTA update and the BL/KM patch again, which made my phone boot again but without Magisk, obviously.
After that I tried flashing Magisk 19.2 and Canary (19.4), both with the same results: a spinning logo, nothing more.
I'm not sure what else I can try. In a particular braindead moment I thought I should just try to take a look at Magisk's log file but of course that's not accessible without root access. I've got a feeling that the patch to the bootloader is causing issues with Magisk's firmware patch but I'm not familiar enough with this kind of problem to figure out what is going on exactly.
Does anyone recognize this problem or can one of you tell me what I could try to get Magisk running again?
I had this problem. Turns out after each flash: twrp, magisk, a reboot/ power off is required.
Here's what I do.
1) flash recovery using fastboot
2) reboot to recovery
3) on home screen of TWRP > reboot > power off
4) wait 5 seconds, turn phone back on and go to TWRP right away
5) flash magisk > TWRP home screen > reboot > power off
6) wait 5 seconds, turn phone back on and go to TWRP directly
7 TWRP home screen > reboot > reboot phone
Should get you to boot

I tried it just now. Sadly I get the same end result. Thanks anyway though.
I have an ADB log of the crash that happens that causes the phone not to boot, maybe that's familiar to someone around here? I uploaded it here.
Hello can I ask a question why do you need root
OP, I just upgraded the battery in my OP3 and, due to some software quirks with a certain custom ROM, decided to switch to Havoc which I liked a lot on my OP6. I flashed Magisk with no issue. Here are the steps I took:
Starting with unlocked BL
Boot into the newest official version of TWRP via fastboot.
Flash OOS 9.0.5 and boot into it, completing device setup.
Reboot into OnePlus recovery, then from within, reboot into fastboot
Flash TWRP to recovery in fastboot, then shut down device (do not attempt to fastboot reboot recovery, it will boot into OOS and overwrite TWRP)
Boot device, use volume key to interrupt startup, boot into recovery (TWRP)
Follow installation instructions from Havoc thread, do not wipe cache/dalvik after flashing, do not boot before flashing all zips (I flashed ROM -> gapps -> Magisk in that order)
OP, I'm not familiar with OOS's current status. My recommendation is to try a different ROM to see whether it is a compatibility issue with the ROM itself. Alternatively, try flashing OOS then Magisk one after the other in TWRP without interruptions, like I did. From the wording of your OP it sounds like you booted into the newly flashed OOS, then flashed Magisk after, which may be the source of your problems.

I work on an app that uses location data and it's pretty convenient to be able to test it on a real device but with a joystick instead of real location data. To make matters more complicated it's my personal phone and I use that to play Pokémon Go too. Without cheating I might add, the root is not for PG but because I do want to be able to play it on the same phone that I use to test my app I need Magisk to hide the fact that it's rooted or the game won't start.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'd rather keep using OOS on this phone as long as I don't have a new phone for daily use. I don't really want to modify this thing too much without having a replacement ready in the likely case that I screw something up.

I tried both flashing the OTA, the modded firmware and Magisk in one go and separately after confirming that the OTA/FW were working. Sadly both methods resulted in the same problem.
If anyone's wondering I did a clean flash and factory reset, then installed Magisk again after that. Everything's working again now. Thanks for trying to help!

Phone boot loops when I don't install magisk

I have a weird situation going on with my phone
My phone is Chinese Pack and I had Xiaomi Eu MIUI 12 previously
I tried flashing MIUI 11 Stable China rom on it using TWRP
when I installed the rom, TWRP didn't get deleted and my phone started to bootloop, so I flashed magisk and the bootloop was gone and I could boot my device after flashing magisk.
Now I want to sell my phone and I'm trying to flash everything back to normal, get rid off TWRP and Magisk and lock the bootloader as well using MiFlash
the phone is running on V11.0.5.0.PCACNXM and I'm trying to flash the same rom using MiFlash and lock bootloader, but at first, it says device mismatch
and when I delete the first 2 lines of flash_all_lock.bat which causes this problem, something else happen
check the attached image
when I press the flash button, this screen comes up and nothing changes except the timer that goes up, and when I remove the phone cable, the phone boots normally without any problem, practically, MiFlash doesn't change a thing
any solution that can help me unlock Bootloader, remove Twrp and Magisk?
Already tried different versions of MiFlash and an app called XiaomiADBFastbootTools.jar, nothing again
P.S: while flashing with XiaomiADBFastbootTools.jar, I get the same message but after removing the cable, the error changes to "current device anti-rollback version is greater than this package", which is nonsense because I have the same ROM on phone already.
