Hi,
I am wondering if it is possible to install Magisk without having to install TWRP at the BLA-L29.
I was thinking to boot on TWRP using the command "fastboot boot twrp.img" and then I will proceed to install Magisk.
Do you know if it would work?
Will OTA updates will continue working or updates will brick the phone?
I do not already have the phone, so I am not able to try.
Thanks.
I just got the phone, and the "fastboot boot twrp.img" command does not work on the BLA-L29.
So the only way will be to flash TWRP and later flash stock recovery.

You can use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-mate-10-flash-oreo-update-package-t3716814
It will still flash a permissive kernel and nocheck recovery_ramdisk, but flashes stock back after.

So I am stuck on TWRP 2.7.1.0 and i am running slimrom 4.4.4 on a c6833 and the reason for this is because it's the only thing that will boot on my phone. There was some intense trial and error a few months ago and a few days with a bricked phone but I finally got it running again, and I am nervous about messing things up again.
I am wanting to move to a more up to date ROM either scrubber port 5.1 or remix 5.1.1, but they both ask for updated TWRP to install. And I can't update TWRP using the TWRP tool from the store. It downloads but when it tries to install it says there is a problem. Previously, trying to update TWRP would result in SONY bootloops. I was about to try the dd method but just wanted to make sure it was safe.
I am a bit of an idiot (I got rid of my encrypted keys on day 2 of owning the phone) so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

The easiest way is to use Rashr. It should set everything up automatically. You may then reboot to recovery from the ROM, or by holding Vol- when the LED turns purple on boot-up.
If that doesn't work, for whatever reason, try dd or Flashtool. Using Flashtool, you can flash openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-togari.img with the phone in Fastboot mode.
Let me know if you have any further questions!
Used Rashr...and now I can't get into recovery. I can still boot into my phone, but booting into recovery just fails with a yellow LED?
So Rashr still says I have 2.7.1.0 installed. :/

Alright, you likely need a newer kernel first. Using Flashtool, you can flash this boot.img (newest AICP kernel) to the boot partition using the Fastboot mode (or use fastboot manually from the Flashtool/x10flasher_lib folder with "fastboot flash boot boot.img"). At this moment, you'll no longer be able to boot into the ROM, so make sure you've done all necessary backups and are ready to install a newer ROM. Then use Flashtool/Fastboot to flash the openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-togari.img file to your recovery/FOTAKernel partition ("fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-togari.img"). You should be able to enter recovery now.
Awesome thanks! Will I need to do this each time I flash a ROM? Or can I just jump from something like scrubber to something else?
I know this is an old thread but is that the boot image I need to run TWRP 3? If so, can I do this via dd?

That file has expired, any chance you can re-post it?
i tried to root my oneplus x ,even after flashing the twrp recovery it is still loading to stock recovery.
Is there a way to boot to twrp recovery ??
I suspect your bootloader is locked. Thats why.
Exoplain what you are doing exactly :
Bootloader state? Which rom, version, version of TWRP. ?.How do you flash?
I suspect the TWRP BS V41 special OOS3 . After fastboot flash, you need to reboot with hardware button directly to Recovery. If not, recovery is overwritten on the first boot.

Good to hear :fingers-crossed::good:
Hey!
I Have a Kate running latest global developer that i unlocked officially through the mi unlock program.
I have been trying to install TWRP ( unoffical twrp, Alka, coffee) through ADB ( fastboot flash recovery twrp.img) for some days now but i wont work!!
ADB dont displays any errors and says everything finished but when i try to boot to recovery it's still stock xiaomi recovery??
What might be the problem and how do i fix it?
BTW, adb reports that the phone is unlocked (fastboot oem device-info).
Are you trying to boot TWRP straight after flashing it. If your booting the official rom first, then that is restoring stock recovery.
After flashing TWRP, manually boot the device with Vol + and Power button.
Alternatively boot TWRP with "fastboot boot <twrp.img>" and from TWRP reboot to recovery again so you actually boot the version on the device.
the newest dev rom has "feature" to revert your recovery back to stock when you boot the OS. so be prepared. after you flash your twrp, immediately boot to TWRP and wipe /system to install other OS.

THANKS! That was the problem. Now everything works.
Hey guys.
SGP312 model here, unlocked bootloader.
not sure what i did wrong here - i got to Fastboot mode and the blue light is on, when i run "Fastboot devices" i get the device name.
so i followed the explanation here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...pment/ub-twrp-v3-2-1-xperia-tablet-z-t3735110
and did: "fastboot flash boot twrp-3.2.1-0-pollux_windy.img"
however, now my phone won't boot, and when i type "adb reboot recovery" i get "error: device not found" (even thought "Fastboot devices" gives me a response")
i tried fixing it with Flashtool, and everything works well until i get to "Wait for Flashmode" and im instructed to "unplug, power off, pres vol down, plug in USB cable" - this simply doesn't do anything =X
so.... how do i get out of this? all i want to do is install one of the newer roms from the forum (either Marshmallow or Oreo)
can anyone help me get out of this issue i've gotten myself into?

you flashed recovery to boot. So only recovery exists in boot section.
Of course tablet won't boot afterwards, as there is not kernel.
Download custom rom you want to install, unpack boot.img from roms zip files and flash via "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Afterwards enter recovery and flash custom rom zip, gapps or whatever you need.

I did the same thing knowing the outcome and then successfully flashed Lineage.
For future reference, with the Xperia Tablet z where should I be flashing the recovery if not to boot:
"fastboot flash *What goes here?* twrp-3.x.x-0-pollux_windy.img"

Code:
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
where twrp.img is your recovery image.
I have a problem that i never make it into recovery again. I am used to adb/fastboot, this is my 5th device and i happily used different custom roms as lineage, havoc, crdroid for about 7 years and thus am familiar with the concepts of a/b, recovery, adb/fastboot and so on.
Now, when i "flash_all" with stock from here (V10.3.17.0.PFQEUXM) on my a3, i suppose both slots a and b are overwritten with stock. interestingly this stock rom only boots in a-slot, not in b-slot.
when i now just "fastboot flash recovery twrp...." with 3.3.1.2 and hit the manual enter to recovery (power + vol up), i just get a "no command" error - no twrp in sight.
i also tried this with flash_all V11.0.2.0.QFQEUXM rom (a10) and fastboot flash recovery twrp 3.3.1-17 Q from mauronofrio - same result.
anyone knows what i did wrong?
basically i didnt enter team win recovery for some good amount of tries which slightly terrifies me at this point. (help)
Should i use the global versions instead of the europe ones? Do i need to use "fastboot flash BOOT twrp.." instead of "fastboot flash recovery twrp.."?
I am also happy for suggestions where i could pose this issue more appropriate.
//update: i am now in stock rom and could root it with flashing a magisked boot.img but still cannot enter twrp recovery (-> "no command").
Ya you entered the wrong command it's
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
When you boot to twrp make sure to flash stock boot.img of the firmware which you are currently running and then flash twrp installer.zip flash both of these in twrp and do not reboot between flashes
thanks @garylawwd

So to be sure: i have stock 11.0.3.0 europe from here installed and i am in slot a now and i cannot go into twrp because it says "no command".
i go to fastboot now, then
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
with a recent twrp that can run android 10 from here and then power + vol up without switching slots.

how can i flash a boot.img from twrp? i thought, i can only flash .zips from twrp? Also do i need to take spacial measures to be able to read internal memory in twrp?
//edit: i tried to flash named twrp but it wouldnt boot up into recovery, instead went straight into fastboot. so i flashed boot with stock boot again. no solution in sight.
Just FYI - "no command" is default welcome page of stock recovery. If you see it, you don't have TWRP installed.

Thank you. Still i would expect twrp to open.
Am i using a/b wrong? When i am on slot a and go into fastboot anf fastboot flash boot twrp.img, then i expect twrp to be installed in a, is that correct? Or is it always installed in the inactive slot and thus i had to switch to slot b before i install twrp to have it on a?

No idea with TWRP, never used it on this phone, Magisk is enough for me. But I would follow one of the available guides if you need to have TWRP installed.

Thanks @mysiak_d
I used for example this method with this recovery bc it should work with android 10.
straight into fastboot instead recovery :/
