How to fix stuck on splash screen when TWRP 3.4.0-0 is installed permanently
I've tried several ways myself to get it up and running. As long as the device is encrypted, TWRP cannot start. It gets stuck in an infinite loop. The keymaster-3-0 service starts, but it is stopped immediately. It continues like this in a never ending loop. The only solution is to fully decrypt the device. At least this worked for me.
THE FOLLOWING STEPS WILL DELETE ALL YOUR DATA! IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CREATE A BACKUP OF YOUR ENCRYPTED DATA IN TWRP AND RESTORE IT ON A DECRYPTED PARTITION! USE TITANIUM BACKUP OR SIMILAR SOLUTIONS! YOUR DEVICE WILL BE RESET TO FACTORY SETTINGS!!
>>> *** UPDATED (see 5. ) *** <<<
Installation guide: (pay attention to keep this order!!)
1. Backup your data!!
2. Boot TWRP via fastboot:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.4.0-0-evert.img
3. Format data to remove encryption. Wipe > Format Data > type 'yes' and swipe to confirm.
4. Flash the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip
!!! 5. Disable HAB verification by flashing this .zip hab_disabler.zip !!! (*)
6. Flash the TWRP installer.zip
7. Install Magisk (optional)
8. Reboot to system and enjoy!
(*) HAB (High Assurance Boot) is a second verification process/service. It checks /system and /oem partition. The hab_disabler.zip will delete/patch the related files. (for further information see "update-binary")
During first boot...
...your device will reboot once. Don't panic, that's quite normal!
...animation after "Hello Moto" will take 2-3 min.

The problem has been fixed!!
I rebooted several times from system to recovery and vice versa. Magisk and TWRP (installed permanently) work fine. No issues known yet.
Everything working fine, after flashed permanently TWRP,
Magisk Manager also work fine the main issue here
If we flash magisk Manager using TWRP
You can restart the device several time working fine.
If we open magisk Manager and enable magisk hide for apps , then restart the device stuck on boot logo..
If we flash magisk Manager and don't open magisk Manager it will be working fine no issue , if we open magisk Manager then close after we restart the device stuck on boot logo.
If you find any solution about this then good. Otherwise please don't spent valueable time on it,
This devices create more problems only
Moto G6 Plus
Thanks for work.

It works fine fir me. I enabled Magisk Hide to hide some apps but my device doesn't loop after that.
Did you use the updated method?
- Magisk was repacked with new name
- Magisk Hide enabled
- modules installed
- rebooted to recovery and then to system => no looping
- rebooted the device normally => no looping
At this moment I'm using my G6+

Since recovery is inside the boot partition Lineage implements a own recovery for their boot.img

Yes, it's normal. I don't know why they do that... The only useful function there is ADB and that's all.
But you can replace them with TWRP, that's absolutely no problem. Reboot into bootloader and boot your twrp.img to install it.

Unofficial TWRP 3.1.0-0 Moto G5 (cedric)
Latest TWRP changelog :
New features of 3.1.1-0 (adb backup, tweaked MTP startup routines and plenty of bug fixes - for full changelog)
Download Link
twrp-3.1.1-0-cedric.img
Working/Bugs
I have just tested on 16 GB variant and all seems to be working. If something is broken lemme know.
IMPORTANT NOTE :
At first boot twrp will ask for "Swipe to allow modifications for /system" and if you choose to allow it system partition will get modified. So if you choose to reboot back to OS without performing anything in twrp, the OS won't boot (as verity check is enabled in stock OS/kernel) . To avoid this you have to flash either SuperSU or flash any of the verity disabler zips there in xda
Force encryption is enabled by default in stock OS and twrp will successfully decrypt /data at first boot if all goes well
If in case decryption doesn't go fine, twrp will popup a dialog box asking for password and that means decryption went wrong and you would need to wipe data once via twrp wipe options and reboot back to twrp for functioning of /data
Installation Guide
Make sure you have unlocked bootloader
Reboot to bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp-****.img (if you want permanent flash) or fastboot boot twrp-****.img (if you want temporary
boot)

xt1670 model
Hi Santhosh
Will this TWRP work on Moto G5 model xt1670?
If so, can it be rooted using twrp temporary boot?
EDIT: I have tried this several time, I'm always getting stuck at boot, after the first data wipe, only solution is to install stock system again.
I have the Modem Version: M8937_8000.122.02.40R, 32GB
I'm offering to test
Thanks
Works fine for the most part, though reboot options Bootloader and Power Off doesn't work, just restarts normally.

So i believe TWRP works as intended and root is also achieved via phh/whatever?
If all works fine for you would like you to make reply in the thread with detailed flashing instructions as i am not sure why few in thread have issues
can this version of twrp be used for POTTER version of moto G5 plus?
After installing TWRP my Phone stucks at the "Your device has been unlocked" screen. My system seems to be gone. I've downloaded the image from the other thread and tried to sideload it, but twrp says it's in the wrong format. TWRP boots fine
(Anyone who can upload a fully working NANDROID or sth like that?)
What can i do :/?
Edit: Solved. Unzipped the firmware and flashed manually via fastboot. Working fine!
But then again at the startup of the recovery, there's the encryption message. What to wipe now, that it'll work? Wiping /data ends in boot loop...

Did you tried wiping data, and formatting data? Remember that wiping /data is where your apps and settings are stored, and formatting /data/media is the massive storage... Maybe if you wipe both it would work

Greetings
Hi to all. I'm new in Honor world and I've stopped my Android experience with KitKat so I'm a little bit confused ...
I've read several guides (on XDA too) that that three steps to obtain root are unlock bootloader, flash TWRP via ADB and then install Magisk or SuperSU via TWRP. But in the thread on TWRP is clearly written that to install Magisk decryption is needed and to have decryption we must flash a kernel with encryption disabled in fstab. But no guide says anything about this step. Can someone explain me how encryption/decryption work doing a standard installation of TWRP ? Is needed a flash of a modified kernel ? And where find it ?
And another question (if it's not too much ). Since I don't need to install custom rom (I want root only to use some apps like Titanium) how can I make a backup of stock rom, boot.img, efs partition and all that can be useful to restore phone to the starting point if, by chance, I need Huawei warranty ?
Thanks a lot
Hi, apparently there's a way to get root on an encrypted system. Follow the rebrand guide and then flash supersu in TWRP via ADB sideload. It worked for me and a few others, there is no comment from the developers as of right now.
So basically in short follow this guide until you are finished with the TWRP section:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/one-guide-recovery-os-roms-t3661829
Then
- enter twrp
- adb sideload supersu
Afterwards follow the "rooting!" section with point 2
Thank for your answer... I'd like to try to install Magisk instead of SuperSU. In several places is written that this should be right. I'll try....

Finally done with a couple of hours of panic. This is the story if can be useful to someone...
Unlock bootloader....done TWRP install... done. Copy magisk (apk and zip) on phone than install apk without opening it. Reboot to recovery wipe all, factory reset. Trying to boot.....BOOTLOOP But I don't have installed Magisk zip. Only apk without opening it.
Nothing to do. Bootloop and then erecovery. I try to restore the backups previously done with TWRP. I restore boot and system partition. All wipes ...no luck. I don't know what has happened. While downloading full firmware to try to reinstall it I try to install magisk.zip. Install via TWRP. All wipes and then magically (it's such a case ) phone boots. Powered off and on several times no problem. Root (verified with root checker) ok.
I habe b100 release but I don't think to update to b130. I wait for Oreo...
The only two things that I can say are these: first TWRP even after flashing magisk gave an error (unable to mount system). Two while installing magisk it seems that magisk itself has patched something.
If someone has an explanation is welcome...

So do you have some step-by-step instructions for someone who wants to unlock and root the phone with magisk?

Here what I have done:
Unlock bootloader
install adb drivers (find something that is right for your PC. For example minimal ADB found on XDA weren't suitable for me. Google adb drivers...). Open a command windows (shift+right click). If typing "adb devices" your phone is found that's ok
Enable usb debugging and oem unlock (or in other words disable FRP, factory reset protection)
Put the phone in fastboot mode ("adb reboot bootloader"). If all ok typing "fastboot devices" your phone is found
Type "fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxx" (xxxxxxxx is the code provided by Huawey)
Bootloader unlocked
Flash TWRP
Download TWRP recovery for Honor 9 (link found on other thread on this forum)
Put the phone in fastboot mode
Type "fastboot flash recovery xxxxx.img" (where xxxx.img is the recovery downloaded)
Reboot phone directly in Recovery to avoid erecovery overwrite TWRP. Booting on TWRP let TWRP patch to avoid erecovery booting
Now here I've had some issues as said (read previous post). My tip is the following:
after rebooting in TWRP make all wipes then reboot again in TWRP
Install Magisk.zip (for me download here https://geekaxe.com/root-honor-9-twrp-bootloader-unlocking/)
Reboot recovery
All wipes
Reboot to system
If it's all OK you can install magisk.apk and you are rooted
I suggest after flashing TWRP to make backup of all partitions on external SD (for some reasons, maybe encryption, backup on internal storage gives error). Again I suggest to copy all files that you need (i.e. magisk files) on external sd before starting all.
Pay attention that if you update firmware after this procedure I think that you must repeat all. For me I remain on original firmware found on phone (B100). B130 seems to have some bugs, B120 doesn't seem improve much. Moreover all releases are 7.0 based. I wait for Oreo, hopefully in some custom rom!
To add to this, a bootloop or two might be normal. Let it sit for a few minutes before considering re-flashing everything.
Thanks for your guide!

Yes sure. As said previously installation of magisk.zip fixed the bootloop problem. I think (but I could be wrong) that installation of TWRP corrupted the boot partition and magisk fixed it. But it's only an hypothesis...

Which TWRP version did you use?
I had a similar problem after formatting all data with the OpenKirin TWRP 3.1.1 Perhaps its an issue with this TWRP release?
I was able to recover in similar circumstances by flashing a stock boot.img over fastboot. Based on this, it's looking like Magisk is really the way to go for rooting atm. Making sure to pull my twrp backup with adb this time though.
If I'm lucky enough to install magisk and not get a bootloop the safetynet always fails. Anyone got a valid method of actually getting magisk working fully?
I was read https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html. That link describe how to install Magisk in our device in few ways. I was interested "Boot Image Patching" section that tell us about rooting device without TWRP.
Before this, I have 5 redmi devices and 3 of it were rooted-well via TWRP. 1 bricked (totally bricked) :laugh: and 1 still un-rooted (Redmi 6A-cactus).
My spec of Redmi 6A are:
Security Level Patch: 2019-03-01
MIUI Version: Global Stable 10.2.8.0 (oCBMIXM)
Unlocked: False (i know that i should unlocked it later, i still waiting my 360 hours )
RAM: 2GB
Storage: 16GB
Since i found that link, i still wondering and keep searching about: "is anybody succesfull root their device (especially Redmi 6A with same spec above) with "Boot Image Patching" way?
if any, please let me know. i just want to hear their review and (of course) their experience.
thanks
Yes, i got it working but i still recommend the TWRP method, but if you're still interested, be careful, don't disable the forceencrypt while patching, you can disable dm-verity but DO NOT disable the forceencrypt or you'll lose IMEI/Baseband.
Anyway, this is the patched_boot.img i've used (extracted from the latest V10.2.8.0.OCBMIXM rom).
https://www80.zippyshare.com/v/2zWEXIcM/file.html

Nice... i'll try that soon when my 360 hours run out..
thanks.
Hi @jonaaa, its me again..
i was success root my 6a with patched_boot.img. but i've got problem when i installing systemless xposed. Xposed Zip successfully installed, but when i tried to install Xposed Manager then reboot, i got stuck in mi logo. i've been trying for 3 times and getting frustrated
now i decided to install twrp and (again) i got stuck in encryption problem. most of google result said that data partition should be formatted and that dont make any sense for me. how could i formatting data partition while that partition is untouchable.
so i wanna ask you: how you get rid from twrp encrypt-decrypt problem?

Forget it..
My step was wrong. i was ignoring "fastboot format userdata" command in first and install twrp directly...
thanks for your suggestion :good:

i dont recommend to use my step, because right now i even dont have twrp in my redmi 6a. In other word, im failed.
UBL
Enabling Developer Option
Entry Fastboot mode
fastboot devices (to check it's connected well with pc)
fastboot format userdata
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.0.0.img
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0.0.img
For a while, i was able to entry twrp without any password asked and installing magisk (magisk-19.0.zip) smoothly.
But, when i rebooting, i've got stuck at mi logo (i've been wait more than 40 minutes and still at mi logo). When i tried to Volume Up + Power, just nothing happened but back to mi logo and stuck again (and more 40 minutes :silly:).
and finally i did install fastboot-rom from scratch... :laugh::laugh: and since that, twrp wont installed on my redmi even i flash fastboot-rom again and again. Till now i still wondering why and not found the answer yet.

My IMEI/Baseband are gone, when I install xposed framework and reboot it's stuck in MI logo, and I tried factory reset from my original MI recovery, it's fix the bootloop but my IMEI/Baseband are gone.... Do you know how to fix it? I spend my time searching to fix it and no result. And I tried flash stock ROM too and no result. Hope you know how fix my issue, thanks!!

Someone said to encrypt the data on settings, i don't know how though, if you fix it, next time, don't disable the forceencrypt.

i was looking around on how to flash twrp but theres no clear guide on how to do it. i keep noticing people said dont disable verity, they didn't mentioned where and when not to disable it.
because after we flash twrp, we boot to twrp. then what?

Uhh... just flash the TWRP and you're done.
The dm-verity removal is necessary if you want to install any GSI.

well i got this issue after flash twrp. after boot and reboot
i got this annyoing android system error, contact manufacturer for detail.
I have a similar problem
I was rooting my redmi 6a and now its bricked
First i intall the twrp, then i flash the Magisk with DisableEncryption, the first boot work fine, i update the magisk app and the new version isnt compatible with the magisk installed
Well i repeat the steps and then i lost the signal, in that moment i didnt know it is the IMEI lost, then i try to install Lineage OS 15.1 GSI for Redmi6a cause i think that is the solution
but the system dont boot, only boot the Xiaomi Tittle with "unlocked" (I unlock the phone before) and then get me to TWRP
Im only one with this problem?
I try use the MiFlashTool for flash the stock rom but not work, now im trying with MiFlashTool flash the MIUI9 and MIUI10.2 and other versions
I think, the problem maybe is the Boot.img
(Sorry for my bad English)
Edit-
I dont have any backup lol

This "contact manufacturer" error happens when you disable dm-verity, you can install Magisk without disabling it.

Just make sure that you flash Fastboot ROM, not just STOCK ROM. I did that last time when my IMEI/Baseband are gone. Of course it will wipe all of your data. Just be prepare for it.. :laugh:

that just un-official TWRP, right??
i will try that in this weekend. Last time i remember that i can not boot into twrp. Till now, my devices still unrooted. I flash it back to stock ROM. But, when OTA update notification comes and reboot for installing, it give me bootloop into twrp (not to system), and that's mean my TWRP still inside i just cannot boot into.
so, i'll try that TWRP-1020 this weekend. Thanks.

Keeping it short. This is a simple way to root your device. You will need a computer and a data cable for this.
Objectives :
Have root using Magisk
Be able to install OTA from the settings without bootloops
Avoid boot loop
Very important :
This will work with ANY Xiaomi phone, and should work with ANY ANDROID phone as well. The difference between phones would be in where you can get your boot image from.
Your phone has to have an unlocked bootloader
Your phone has to have stock recovery. TWRP WILL cause bootloop for root and/or OTA updates from system.
I like to have root with magisk and don't want to install TWRP because I want to be able to install OTA from system without boot loops. This guide will help you achieve this with ease.
Steps:
Download the ROM full zip file. This could be the ROM ALREADY installed on your phone or you are updating your phone to it. Here is a video of one way to get your ROM file.
https://youtu.be/KsxHial1v1U
Open the file and extract "boot.img" on your phone or Computer.
Move the boot.img file to your phone
Download and install the latest Magisk official manager app from here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v7.4.0/MagiskManager-v7.4.0.apk
Open Magisk manager and click install then "select and patch a file" like in this video
https://youtu.be/USHcCMYlexM
Copy the Patched image from the download folder to your computer adb/fastboot folder
Reboot your phone into fastboot (press and hold power and vol down) and connect it to the computer
Flash that patches image file using fastboot
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Open Magisk manager and complete the installation if needed. The app will prompt you for action.
Enjoy
Update May 2020
Hello again,
Sorry for being away for so long. Here are some of the things I have noticed people are confused with and need to make them clear:
This method works for ANY Android phone. As long as you have the Correct boot.img and can unlock the bootloader
MAKE SURE 100% you have the correct boot.img file for your CURRENT ROM
MAKE 100% SURE, the boot.img file you get from the FULL ROM zip file, not an OTA update zip file
Make sure you check the date and time of the "magisk_patched.img" file to make sure that is the one you made
Make sure you use the LATEST magisk manager
Make sure you open magisk after flashing the magisk_patched.img as boot image. Magisk manager will tell you if there is another step needed, just click yes and it will be done in seconds
Make sure to enable "Hide Magisk" to allow you to have your BANK apps working as well as security checks
If any app you use gives you an error "YOU ARE Rooted bla bla bla" Use magisk manager to hide the root for this specific app (in the settings)
That's all I can remember, good luck

After fastboot flash, reboot, open magisk manager, tap INSTALL beside "magisk is up to date". Then select direct install; reboot.

Phone is reset when the bootloader is unlocked, not before/during the waiting time.

No, bootloader has to be unlocked.
@Kiwironic followed your guide and worked very well, although I had to wipe data through the stock recovery to get the phone to boot, I believe that's just how newer Xiaomi phones work. I do have one question though, now that I'm rooted with stock recovery, would I be able to install OTA updates? I'm assuming I would of course lose root and have to redo the process from scratch if that's the case.

I had root on MIUI10 and updated the ROM to MIUI11 then did my root again the way mentioned and did NOT have to wipe. You can get OTA anyway, it will try the update first, it will fail, then it download and install a full ROM zip automatically. You have to wait for it to do that twice, that's all. The first boot after the update takes some time.
@Kiwironic First, thank you so your simple guide!
Can this cause bootloop on my device? If yes, can I simply flash the original boot.img to boot without any data loss?
Also another question: my device is rootless and bootloader unlocked, so my Google Pay doesn't work. When installing Magisk it goes back to work immediately or I have to do something to work?

If you flash the full rom, chances of bootloop is minimal. And should have stock experience except for being unlocked.
I got bootloop, using indian global V11.0.2.0.
After flashing patched boot, it gets bootloop recovery, only way is to wipe all data and reboot
After booting up and opeing magisk it shows a recommendation to install some ZIP
Accepting the recommendation results in bootloop,
Rejecting the recommendation and trying to Install > Direct Install results in bootloop as well

I got the exact same issue, every time it asked me to install additional zip files it went into recovery immediately after booting up.
Anyone know why this happened?

Do you have stock recovery or TWRP? Which version of Magisk are you using?
I have patched my boot stock image, installed full ROM, then flashed the patched boot image. Magisk did not show any recommendation installation.
There are a few guides online on how to deal with Magisk Bootloop without the need to wipe data.

TWRP 3.3.1-8, magisk 20.1
Patching boot image with magisk wasn't a problem. The Superuser itself works normally, module doesn't. The magisk manager suggested to download additional files for the magisk to be working properly.
I'm on MIUI 11.0.1 Global
Was TWRP the cause in the fist place?

On first installation MM asks to download what it needs e.g. to verify SafetyNet. Allow and there is no problem about. TWRP is generally not needed to install Magisk. Things are documented in Magisk guides

Yes, as the title suggests "without TWRP". The reason is, you cannot install OTA and magisk easily without using the stock recovery. Any attempt to update OTA or use any recovery script on the phone will result in a boot loop.
The solution to get out of the boot loop is simple. Actually a couple of solutions.
One, flash your stock recovery, or
Two, flash a full ROM that includes the stock recovery.
No need to wipe data
That's the only reason I made this post and the other about OTA on root. I don't like to use TWRP because I want OTA install without boot loop. At the same time I want root. Hence the solutions I provided

I've tried flashing magisk via recovery and didn't work, the same bootloop. Here's the thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/how-to/guide-miui-11-v11-0-1-0-pfjmixm-rooted-t3997299
I thought this might be a working alternative.
Gotta try installing magisk with stock recovery then, and if it still didn't work, well, more research for me..

You have to understand the requirements :
- stock recovery
- install magisk manager app
- patch the boot image for your stock ROM (same version on your phone)
- flash that Patched boot image.
- reboot
- done, that's magisk installed
I unlocked the device bootloader thanks to Narender, and tried to flash Lineage OS 18.1. After flashing the ROM and vendor zip files, I switched the current slot and restarted to fastboot mode. Then I flashed the vbmeta image. Then I rebooted to recovery to check the current slot. Slot was as expected, so I rebooted the system.
Then, TWRP gave me an alert saying "No OS is installed" before rebooting. I was unsure what was the reason for it because the ROM was just installed, so I rebooted the system.
After that, device went straight into fastboot mode after "Android One" screen. No matter which option I choose from there, it keeps restarting the bootloader. I tried using "fastboot reboot recovery" but that did not work either. Then I tried to change the active slot of the device using fastboot commands. That did not help either.
Now I'm stuck with a Nokia 7.2 that can only be turned off or start in fastboot mode. Is it bricked beyond saving? I just want to install TWRP in any of the slots and install any usable ROM. Any help is deeply appreciated.
Installed NFT and flashed the stock ROM using that. All good now. I still need to figure out how to install ROMs on A/B systems using TWRP.

Hey, thanks. But I thought it's not possible due how the signatures in security patches work. So I gave up. Maybe I misunderstood. Linking to Raghu's reply below.
Post in thread '[OFFICIAL] TWRP 3.4.0-0 | Team Win Recovery Project | Nokia 7.2 | Daredevil |'
No, wi-fi with twrp still doesn't work. But what I did was, I extracted the boot image of the ROM I was using, flashed twrp, flashed gapps and then flashed the boot file I extracted earlier. So, wi-fi does work in the end. But, you can't have twrp perpetually installed
Some tutorials I saw online used fastboot boot twrp.img
What this is supposed to do is boot into twrp temporarily and is gone after restart.
But, on this phone, instead of booting to recovery after the command, it boots to the OS. And when you restart the boot image is gone and you restart into the stock recovery. So, that method doesn't work

Yup, pretty much what I experienced too.
I haven't tried extracting boot image and flashing it manually. At this point to be honest, I'm reluctant to put my hands on it again without having a clear step-by-step guide about it.
I did write a step by step guide. But i'll leave it to you to decide if it is clear. Ok I realize I haven't linked the post.
