Can't install TWRP properly. - Asus Zenfone Max M2 Questions & Answers

Hey guys. I'm trying to root my device using TWRP and magisk, and so far nothing seems to be right. The custom recovery keeps reverting back to stock recovery. And even if i flash it again it doesn't detect my internal storage.
I also flashed that decrypt(pie).zip file.
I unlocked my bootloader using the official tool if it matters. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Here are some advice for you:
1.You shold reboot into twrp in first reboot,
CUSTOM RECOVERY WILL BE WIPE during stock flimware is booting(the "Zenfone" with four dots screen).
2.Flash Magisk20.3 or newer version.
3.Official twrp cannot read encrypted data pratition, AsusDecryption(Pie).zip maybe only can disable stock forceencrypt.
4.The method I use:
Boot into fastboot->Flash TWRP (via computer)->Boot into TWRP->Keep System Read only->Flash Magisk zip file->Reboot into system->Install Magisk Manger->Let Magisk recover itself and reboot->Done
(Wish you can understand my terrible English)

Thank you. Flashing the Disable encryption zip file fixed the issue. So far TWRP is still there.

Some root questions

I want to root my poco f1 ....
But i have some questions regarding it
1. Will my data be format while rooting and installing twrp
2. How i will get ota update
3. Will installing ota update also format my data?
1. Your whole internal data needs to be wiped... To flash the force decryption enabler at first...
Even while installing twrp via fastboot.. Your data will be formated
2. You will get updates... But not via ota.... Yes you will get to download the updateds in some roms... But you need to dirty flash them.
3. While dirty flashing.... Formatting data is not required.

Does the twrp with working decryption also need to format my data?
You can root your device in two ways.
First, with twrp (OTA won't work afterwards)
Second, without twrp (OTA will work)
First method, unlock the bootloader (device will be wiped)>Grab the twrp with working decryption>Boot your device into fastboot and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (or whatever the recovery image name is)>Now type fastboot boot twrp.img (or whatever the recovery image name is)>Once booted into twrp, swipe to allow modification>Now download Magisk installer and copy into the device>Flash it?Reboot to system>Profit.
N.B. After flashing twrp, make sure to first boot into twrp before booting into system or else device will restore stock recovery. If you need to update in future, just grab the twrp flashable update package and flash it. That's it. No need for OTA.
Second method, this will also require an unlocked bootloader. Once the bootloader is unlocked, get the stock boot image of your current software (e.g. if you are on miui 10 with October security patch, make sure to grab the stock boot image for miui 10 october). Now install Magisk manager apk in your device. Now open magisk manager and go to install. You will find an option for patching stock boot image. Click on it and select the stock boot image. Magisk will patch the boot image and will place it in your internal memory. Now boot into fastboot mode and type fastboot boot patched_boot.img (or whatever the name is). Once device is booted into system, go to Magisk and click on Install>Direct install (recommended).Magisk will get flashed by itself and reboot. Once rebooted, go to Magisk manager and check. If you do everything correctly, you are rooted.
N.B. When you get an OTA update, open Magisk and go to Unsinatll and click on "Complete uninstall". It will uninstall magisk and revert your stock boot image back. Note that, if you play witgh system partition like modifying build.prop or change host file or bootanimantion or any such thing, you won't be able to get any further OTA update. In that case, you need to flash the complete fastboot rom through MiFlash tool.
For more information, please go to Magisk thread or search online.

Can somebody help me please!

So hey! I successfully booted into the TWRP and used it to flash the DISABLEFORCEENCRYPTION file, right after. I decided to reboot to recovery (Cause I think that would be great just after you flash something in TWRP) but then after it finishes showing the pocophone booting screen rather than showing TWRP recovery. It showed the stock MIUI recovery! someone please help! I just finished flashing magisk and a custom rom by using the method of: Everytime I need to flash something using TWRP I would just open adb and fastboot boot recovery it again so that I could use the TWRP!
Thank you in advance!

I decided to fix this problem after I flashed a rom cause I think I would run into future problems involving magisk and it's use of the TWRP recovery.

If you already have the ROM installed, use adb to flash TWRP and without booting flash Magisk and then boot to system. If you are on stock ROM, follow THIS.
For entering into TWRP, use the key combination of volume up + power buttons.
You can use the encryption compatible TWRP (search for it) instead of the official one.

Can't install Magisk via TWRP

Hello. I was going through this guide --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/xiaomi-poco-f1-root-unlock-bootloader-t3852520
I've got a problem. I've unlocked bootloader and next I'm booting correctly to TWRP, but when I try to flash any zip of magisk manager I receive an error: "invalid zip file format". I'm using TWRP 3.2.3-0 from first post in guide - I was trying to use both 20181012 and 20181211 versions and no result - still the same error. What can I do? I'm using POCOPHONE F1 with MIUI Global 10.2.3.0

You have an old version of TWRP... You need to install a newer version - 3.2.3.2 - which you will find by doing a search for it here on XDA...
Just load img file on INTERNAL storage of phone, choose install>install image file> and click on recovery partition. After install go to home menu and restart recovery...
If you still have issues then download magisk again, it may be corrupt...
Cheers....

First of all, I'm not going to install TWRP - I want only to boot into TWRP once for flashing Magisk's ZIP.
Second - in this guide OP says that Unofficial TWRP should be used. I've tried v1 and v2 TWRP from the guide. So which other TWRP should I try to boot into? This? https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-x-t3836241

I am new on this forum (pocophone) and i seee how messed up it is. You should definitly use official twrp
You don't need official TWRP, but I think you need to install Disable Force Encryption, before installing the Magisk app
This thread will be more helpful.

what are you trying to flash? If it is Magisk Manager, it is in apk format and you just click it to install. No TWRP.
If it is Magisk, which version are you trying to flash? Try 18.1. And preferably download any file from its source.
EDIT: If Magisk v18.1 is also not flashing, try Magisk Canary version. Some phones need that.

I'm trying to flash zip with Magisk Manager, as it is said in guide. I know that I can have an apk, but is it enough to just install apk without having custom recovery (but having bootloader unlocked)?

Well Here is how i managed it to work. After i unlocked my bootloader i launched twrp and flashed beta magisk 19.0 (not latest anymore because 19.1 just today showed up) then i reminded that i forgot about DisableForceEncryption_Treble_v18.0.zip so i flashed iit and after it flashed again magisk 19.0, after reboot it everything was fine

There is no need to flash DFE. I've unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP, flashed PE and Magisk 19.0 all without DFE which I don't need.
@OP, you need TWRP version 3.2.3-2 at a minimum, which you can boot using 'fastboot boot twrp-<version>.img' . Then flash Magisk. You'll
need at least version 18.1.

So, to make it clear (and to not brick my poco... ):
1. I should use TWRP image from this link --> https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomipocophonef1.html...
2. ...and I don't need to replace my recovery - just booting it once (as You described) is enough.
3. I should flash Magisk's ZIP, not MagiskManager's ZIP or Magisk.apk
4. No more flashing, clearing data and other operations needed.
Am I right?
1 - Yes.
2 - That's down to you. I have TWRP recovery installed and I have the app as well.
3 - You need to flash Magisk and install the apk. See this link for instructions on installing Magisk.
4 - Yes, you need to clear data, wipe dalvik and cache when installing a new ROM. If updating a current rom, I just wipe dalvik & cache.
HTH
Hey I know its not a thread related but if u install magisk can u tell me if you have 60fps screen recoding option? Because I already Dirty flashed rom once and nothing changed still cant unlock it :/

Help how to do the Root on the Xiaomi Mi 8 device with the MIUI Global Stable!!

Hi everyone, I am recently registered on this site. from some days I have the desire to do the Root on the miui global stable, it is consequently on my beloved Xiaomi Mi 8, the problem is: when the device is turned off I turn on the device pressing it under volume key + ignition key at the same time to enter in recovery mode, the latter makes me enter in "Official" mode, in the sense that it does not let me enter twrp mode where there are install, settngs, advacend options, backup ... but in the official one with only 3 buttons: wipe , connect to mi account ... So I thought of flashing the twrp via fastboot, I finally entered it, but the problem is that when I go to Install, to install the root, I can't do that, because characters (alphanumeric) appear long and randomly, so I can't identify which folder I put the Magisk on, it appears in both folders and subfolders. somewhere I read to install a zip file called LazyFlasher, to avoid possible blocking at startup, in fact I try before installing this zip file, with various combinations (first rom, then magisk, both rom and magisk, first magisk then rom , first rom that gate at the end the cache then magisk) but all fail, so I am forced to flash through fastboot with the tool I flash, because at every start it always took me back to twrp without the possibility of moving, it seems that the touch does not respond at the user's commands. So I know that this LazyFlasher file causes me to "bypass" this problem, give me confirmation ??. Thank you. PS: so far I haven't managed to install the Magisk root yet, can you give me a hand, maybe the twrp has some problems? or is my device not compatible with this version of twrp ??, I tell you that in the past with the miui global beta it didn't give me this problem. Thank you all
Have you even unlocked your bootloader? If not look for the official Xiaomi tool, it's the only way how you are able to flash twrp and root your phone.

Thanks for the reply, I solved everything, unlocked BL, installed twrp (no stock) and installed root. but I have a problem, when I installed the root, every time I want to restart the device for a series of reasons (slowness, delete cache, rest ...) it starts in twrp not in the system, so I have to delete everything it's starting again. I heard that the LazyFlasher file makes it possible to remedy this problem, essentially it allows you to bypass the security of android to avoid bootloap, and I hope it also corrects this problem (which when I reboot the device, I want to install a zip file, I it always starts in twrp), but during the flash of this zip (LazyFlasher) I get an error: the Updater process ended with error: 1 Error installing zip '/sdcard/lazyflasher-no-verify-opt-encrypt.zip. Thanks a lot. PS: but this file, lazyflasher should be mounted on an SD card to work ?? I don't have it on my device

Flash a DM-Verity No-Encryption ZIP to remove encryption and disable the Verity check. OR if you want to keep encryption and root -flash a 3rd party Kernel like MiPa or Sphinx after Magisk.

thank you. in the past I flamed DM-Verity No-Encryption ZIP to remove encryption and disable Verity checking. in fact after immediately this zip I put magisk. at the access of the dispay I saw a magisk icon, so it means root installed successfully. but the problem is: when I reboot the device to clear the cache ... or install a module on the magisk, it always starts in twrp, so I have to start all over again. there is a way to keep cryptography and root, without any booting going into twrp but into the system. thank you

You shouldn't have these problems:
Flash ROM and Keep Encryption:
Flash TWRP
Boot into TWRP and flash MIUI ROM
Flash TWRP again (select flash image, then select recovery partition, then select recovery file)
Flash DM-Verity ZIP here-->: DM-Verity (Make sure 'DM-Verity' file is the ONLY thing the file is named. The filename triggers what is installed during flash)
Flash MAGISK
Flash 3rd Party Kernel (I prefer MiPa or Sphinx found in other threads)
Reboot and enjoy!
Flash ROM and REMOVE Encryption: (Keeps Stock Kernel)
Flash TWRP
Boot into TWRP and flash MIUI ROM
Flash TWRP again (select flash image, then select recovery partition, then select recovery file)
Flash DM-Verity ZIP here-->: DM-Verity (Make sure 'verity' AND 'forceencryp' is in the file name. The filename triggers what is installed during flash)
Reboot and enjoy!
If you have problems with any of them, you might need to format internal storage first (where you have to answer 'yes' in TWRP)
/.
As far as I understand, you are having problems while booting into TWRP. You should boot into TWRP right after flashing it, and boot into OS once again and reboot to recovery. It should work. If you see the stock recovery, keep flashing TWRP. If you want to temporarily flash it, use "fastboot boot TWRP.img" command.

No problems booting into TWRP.
You can use "fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp.img"
Then reboot phone and hold volume-up+power. When booting until TWRP appears. If you miss it and it tries to boot it will overwrite it. But I've never had issues otherwise.

Thanks for the reply. I will choose the first option, I replace the stock kernel with sphinx kerne, so I get more functionality, battery life, performance, fluidity ... also the developer has mentioned us, if any desired functionality is missing in this kernel, it is possible ask the developer to add us. so I choose the first option, I have some questions before replacing the stock kernel: 1) is it possible to restore the kernel stock, in case of problem, if yes, where can I get the kernel for Mi 8? 2) if in the future there will be a new update of sphinx kerne, how do I understand if a new update has been released? will you notify me ?? 3) are you sure that after these steps, upon restarting the phone, I will find the root installed ?, if I would like to restart the device, it will not boot in twrp but in the system, because I replaced the stock kernel, the same thing is also valid for the magisk modules, zip files ... 4) the last fundamental thing, will I receive updates via OTA ?? if not, is there a way to install future updates (I would like to try the latest magisk version, 19.3) ?. 5) it is safe if I install update via ota, it does not start in twrp, but system. 6) the steps to do are, flash twrp custom via fastboot, I choose to delete the memory, restart twrp, copy the files (MIUI global stable, sphinx kernel, dm-verify), flash rom, flash dm-verify, flash magisk, flash kernel, device reboot, all right. Thanks a lot for the questions

You should not have errors flashing a kernel. Maybe you should flash all partition images from fastboot. Or maybe wrong recovery? What version are you using?

I followed in this guide "https://clk.ink/7q4SUR" but instead of installing Disable_Dm-Verity_FEC_v1.1.zip I downloaded Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_09.02.2018.zip, is it the same ?, also I saw that, when I go inside the magisk, and I click on uninstall> restore image, a warning appears "there is no original boot image", I also executed this command in powershell "fastboot getvar current-slot" but I get a "GetVar Variable Not found" error. I don't know how to solve. thank you

Can't install TWRP without rooting; need... better drivers...?

Followed the instructions on several websites such as this one here at XDA:
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
All goes well until I get to this line:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (latest TWRP image, renamed)
The command prompt window just sits there and says "(waiting for any device)"...
Most websites and forum threads seem to indicate that this is a problem with the drivers. Can anyone confirm?
FWIW, I did a total reflash of the latest stock ROM from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...icial-stock-fw-update-odin-thread-xx-t3825204
so I currently have only the "stock" recovery.
I'd rather not root it quite yet. Help please?
P.S. The phone shows up in Device Manager and for "adb devices"; the phone's bootloader has been unlocked... can't see what I'm missing... I'm using a Windows 10 computer... I removed any screen locking mechanisms (PIN, fingerprint, etc.)...

Thanks. I'm trying it with 3.4.0-0
Do I flash this file while I'm still in TWRP? Or do I reboot the phone and go back *into* TWRP to flash it?
>After booting in TWRP download and flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1 zip to disable data partition encryption
Edit: I tried flashing no-verity-opt while still in TWRP. Got the dreaded:
"Verification failed.
Unable to restart your device. The integrity verification has failed. You need to reset your device to factory default settings. This will erase all your data."​
I *really* tried to follow the instructions exactly, and think I did.
Was it because I tried to flash 3.4.0-0...?
I am currently re-flashing the stock firmware again.

You need to format data after install twrp. This is avoiding internal data encrypted.
After twrp installed, do format data from twrp. Of course all of ur data on internal erased. And then take custom rom. I suggest devbase rom, this have "no verity encrypt" when u install this rom. Devbase is stock firmware for easy upgrade for rooted phone. And this is easy to install for beginner

No worries. Thank you for your help.
I use Odin to install the Devbase ROM, right? Or can I use TWRP?
Edit: apparently it works just fine to install it with TWRP.
Thank you so much. This time TWRP works just fine for me and the new ROM is great.
