twrp strange behaviour - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Loaded twrp with odin, then loaded aicp custom rom.
A year later loaded pixel pie custom rom
On power off the fone wouldn't restart in pixel, or twrp
I tried taking the Battery out and waiting 5 mis, 1hr, 3 hrs the fone still wont start.
BUT if the fone is left with the battery out for 3days it starts in both pixel and twrp no problem !!!
I also tried cleaning all partitions on twrp except sd card and loading my image of aicp which used to work, .. no change.
Anyone have an idea what this might be?
The phone is a samsung note 4 snapdragon originally on marshmallow android.
Im thinking of asking samsung to put marshmallow on again then reloading twrp and aicp

What happens when, instead of ACPI power off, you go to TWRP, reload TWRP, and then turn off the phone with TWRP?
If enabling works fine, the ACPI kernel may be to blame.
Be specific about which version of TWRP and ACPI you are using.

Sorry for delay, each restart takes 3 days!
Thankyou very much for your reply, appreciated,
Yes if close with twrp it opens without problem. If then close with power button have to wait 3 days before it restarts.

Could piexel rom have locked something for future custom roms using twrp
Could the later version of twrp be worse
I assume version of odin twrp are for the original phone (samy note4 snapdragon) not the last custom rom
.... Is twrp in a separate partition that isnt wiped by loading custom rom with twrp? Isit this that is the problem, or someting in the custom rom,. Ive got this far without rooting the phone,has pixel altered this.
......................

If you are installing a new/different custom rom, it's best to do a full wipe with internal memory included.
For many phone models, twrp 3.6.x performs worse than 3.5.2.x.
Since the twrp kernel is good for shutting down the phone, change the ROM to one that also shuts down the phone well.
Read the first post of the thread very carefully and understandingly:

Thankyou ze for succinct helpful info.
I am reading very carefully as you suggest
In this section im unsure about ..........."type fastboot reboot" ...
Recovery is to get to twrp right? vol up pwr home with note 4, that would bring up menus on twrp, .there is a menu box for reboot.. Have I undersood this please?
I can follow ypour suggestion tomload an earlier version of twrp
is it possible a later twrp has anything to do with the loading kernal of the rom
"""Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install."""

TWRP 3.2.3-2 for Pixel 3

MTP does not work in TWRP on the Pixel 3 and will not work until we have time to update the TWRP MTP implementation. You may still use adb to push and pull files.
Pixel devices have 2 "slots" for ROMs / firmware. TWRP will detect whichever slot is currently active and use that slot for backup AND restore. There are buttons on the reboot page and under backup -> options to change slots. Changing the active slot will cause TWRP to switch which slot that TWRP is backing up or restoring. You can make a backup of slot A, switch to B, then restore the backup which will restore the backup of A to slot B. Changing the slot in TWRP also tells the bootloader to boot that slot.
The zip install method installs TWRP to both slots.
Installation:
If you already have TWRP installed: Download the latest zip and install the zip using TWRP.
If you do not already have TWRP installed: Download both the img and the zip. Copy the zip to your device. You will need to have fastboot binaries and the correct drivers installed. Power off your device completely. Hold volume down and turn on the device. Your device should now be in the bootloader. Connect the device to your PC. Open a command window and run the following command from the proper location:
fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img
This will temporarily boot TWRP on your device. If you are using a lockscreen pin/pattern/password and do not get prompted to enter your passord, reboot to the bootloader and try again. Go to install and browse to the zip and install the zip. If you are currently rooted, you will need to reflash the stock boot image before installing TWRP. After installing the stock boot image, follow the instructions for installing TWRP. Once TWRP is installed, you will need to reflash root.
If you accidently flash TWRP to your device using fastboot instead of temporarily booting the image, you will need to download the latest factory image for your device and reflash the boot image.

I got twrp up and running on my Pixel 3, but when try to install magisk 17.3 via twrp it says it completes but just bootloops. And I have to restore again. How did you go about it?

On the Pixel 2 XL touch was broken unless you used a custom kernel. I guess it's the same on 3. If you boot TWRP using fastboot it should allow touchscreen.
You would think after buying the Pixel 1, 2 and 3 I would have this whole A/B slot thing down pat but I dont LOL. That did the same thing for me too. I just rebooted into recovery and flashed TWRP again and it has been fine since. I think sometimes it switches slots and that causes the bootloop. I messed around with changing slots and I think I am on slot A and all if fine for me.

Hey guys - I'm a pixel noob and have a quick question about TWRP/Magisk.
I was rooted before TWRP came out so I flashed the stock boot images back to slots A and B. Then I followed steps 2-12 of the following article to install both Magisk and TWRP using temp TWRP. https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-3-unlock-bootloader-root-magisk/
My question is... when I was temp booted into TWRP, and installed the Magisk zip file, it only said that it installed to slot A. But when I was rooted before TWRP released I remember I had to flash the patched boot image to both slots. So using the process I followed, do I have one slot rooted and the other not? If so, is that a problem? Phone seems to work perfectly and root is working.
Sorry if this is a dumb question. I've always been a HTC guy but I'm trying

No, only the current slot needs to be rooted.
Hello,
I apparently have one of these Pixel 3's that are not working with the current version of TWRP (twrp-3.2.3-0-blueline.img). Yes, I have a 3, not a 3XL. I have done these a hundred times before so I am fairly confident I am not doing anything wrong either. I get the file to load through ADB but on the reboot, it just hangs on the Google screen forever. I have left it for an hour. I have tried everything I can think of. Does anyone have any advice or is in the same situation? I just got my Pixel 3 in the mail on Friday so it's as fresh as they come. I was thinking of fully flashing the TWRP image, but I really don't think it's going to make any difference and I don't want the extra hassle of tracking down the official boot.img from the repo. I guess I will just have to wait until someone who really knows how to debug these comes across one like mine. Clearly, something has changed in what Google is sending out.

To Pixel 3 owners that succesfully rooted, can you share the build.prop here? /system/build.prop
when i booted in to twrp it was encrypted! but i didnt have a PW.... so for everyone to whom that happens, boot up normally and disable your pin ! then you can see your storage in twrp!

Flash the stock boot image. Then try to fastboot boot "path to TWRP". If it still hangs, redownload TWRP and try again. Here's the stock boot for Pixel 3... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EMkcRkH7n-1bGlVbbzcEJKKPJeE4l9mB/view?usp=drivesdk

I have a similar problem. After installing twrp, I can boot to the OS, but Magisk isn't installed and I don't have root. After going back to Twrp and flashing the magisk zip, i can't get past the bootloader screen with a error saying something about failed to load boot.img.
Re-fastboot flashing the patched boot img to both slots brings me back to a rooted state with all magisk modules loaded and applied, but no more twrp. I technically don't need twrp for anything except for nandroid backups, but I guess i could just backup using the adb backup commands and get similar results, right?
Either way, I'm open to suggestions for how to get twrp and magisk working at the same time.

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

Thanks for the updated TWRP! Works like a charm
Are there any circumstances which would make it necessary to use the non-treble version?
image not signed or corrupted moto g 5 cedric. is this for cedric?
edit2: my friend used the fastboot boot recovery option the recovery booted and asked a password, then he pressed back and the other screen with the swipe button has appeares (allow system modifications) and now what to do? the sdcard folder doesn't have nothing inside, neither the external sd
update3: after requering the password he pressed back and then formatted the phone, phone booted into the stock rom, and the twrp is gone.
update4: tried install viperos cedric android 9.0.0 gave error 7 I don't know what to do twrp is working, he tried this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCqROwIGLLE and now stock rom is gone. we are loosing hope ;-;
update 5: tried using the twrp provided by this guy https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/official-twrp-3-1-1-0-moto-g5-t3699737/page11 but nothing. still error 7 even doing the procedure above ^^
update 6: Forget everything you read, upthere^^^^ he downloaded the rom for a different phone XD
so anone tested any treble roms from the project forum on our phones with this twrp?

What did he do exactly to avoid the password screen?
so...does this fix some of the issues present in the previous treble recovery? such as the camera not working? flashlight not working? crashes? can i use it as a daily driver?

alright so here's a question: the lineage treble build to flash before the img is down, so where can i find a treble-ised rom to flash before the actual image?

I would use the 64bit twrp in the link below
It's not treble but then there's no stable treble roms for this device anyway (which is probably why this twrp is not maintained)
The following 64bit twrp will work with all 64bit custom roms

Galaxy A20e SM-202F Touchscreen not working in Magisk rooted boot and TWRP problem

Hello,
first of all i want to mention that i have a special skill when it comes to choosing smartphones to buy. I like em small and cheap so i always had trouble installing custom roms when buying new phones. Just like this time, when i decidied that replacing my Galaxy S5 Mini screen for the fourth time is just not worth it anymore. I ran to the next store, checked the offers, found the Galaxy A20e, did a quick google "A20e lineage" saw there were a few install threads and decided to buy the phone.
That was on Thursday i have since then continuously tried to either root the stock firmware or flash TWRP to install Lineage GSI.
Whatever i try, when rooting with Magisk and afterwards booting the rooted OS using the recovery key combo, the touchscreen won´t work.
I can boot to the unrooted OS and use the touchscreen.
When installing TWRP using XDADEV guide, i can boot to TWRP right after install, wipe and flash required zip file but after the next reboot i can only boot into stock recovery.
Here´s what i did so far:
Software Used:
- Odin 3.14
- Magisk Manager App 7.5.1
- SamFirm 0.3.6
- downloaded the newest Stock firmware "A202FXXU3BTD1"
- unlocked bootloader / SamsungVault
- Flashed newest Firmware "A202FXXU3BTD1" using Odin.
- Installed Magisk Manager
- Patched extracted file "AP_A202....tar" from "A202FXXU3BTD1"
- Moved the patched AP file back to computer
- Flashed modified AP + stock BL, CP and Home_CSC again
- Wipe/Factory reset
- Start Phone with Power+Volume Up until Logo flashes, then release for rooted OS
- Touchscreen not working
- Boot Phone without root (just press Power Button)
- Touchscreen works fine
II then repeated the complete procedure with an Andoid 9 based FW "A202FXXU3ASL4" which ended with the same result.
Then i wanted to move on, since i always thought that Installing TWRP normally does not require root permissions.
I found several guides, some required root, some not. So i decided to try that. I Found two different testing versions, one from xda and flashed them regarding to the HowTo.
With the Android 10 stock firmware, odin was not able to install them at all.
The Android 9 Stock firmware was able to install TWRP and i was able to wipe and flash additional required zip file but after the next boot, i was only able to boot to stock recovery.
I will continue trying different Firmware versions, for now i want to go back to the newest stock FW since i have tried this one in the beginning of my research, maybe now, 15 hours of work later, i will manage to get it running =D
I am willing to provide further details, just let me know. Hope someone has an idea.
best regards,
Hannes
correcting
after frther testing, there is no way to boot into unrooted OS with working touch once magisk patched firmware is installed
GG
looks like reading and testing for 2 days built the right knowledge so after flashing the most recent firmware and only flashing the modified boot.img again (this was one of my first steps ever) this time it seemed to work.
Magisk is officially installed and the system is rooted. on to the next step, i´ll keep reporting.
on to the next one
I was finally able to get TWRP running after flashing Pie based Stock FW.
Now i am stuck installing Q based GSI, they just wont boot.
Pie based GSI work fine, is flashing Q based Stock FW required to install Q based GSI using TWRP?
SOLVED

Could you be more specific on how you managed to root your A20e SM-202F? I've got the exact same issue with an unresponsive touch screen. My bootloader is unlocked, no problem there. I've tried three different firmwares (one of them being the exact same as stock, and the others are newer versions), and several different (but similar) methods. I've tried patching the firmware with both latest Magisk Manager and the canary version. I use latest Odin. I've also tried to patch both the full AP-file and the only the boot.img (boot.tar). But every time that I reboot into android after I've done the rooting I get a touch screen that's not working. I just can't get past that point...
The phone I'm trying to root has Android 10 and U3 bootloader, NEE version.
EDIT - The solution was to first download and flash the newest firmware _without_ using a patched Boot.img or AP.tar-file. I.e, patching the same firmware the phone had out of the box did NOT work. After the firmware update I could successfully flash the patched Boot.img file and root the phone.

Xiaomi RN3PSE Kate bootloop whatever I flash

Hi,
My favourite phone is the Xiaomi Redmi note 3 Pro SE with Lineage OS 13 (Yes marshmallow).
I got a new one that was in endless bootloop and I planned to get it working.
I don't know if the bootloader has been unlocked and how (last time I checked it was written locked), if a custom ROM as been flashed or anything that could been done on it before I get it.
After many tries I first succeed to install LineageOs 13 on it, what I remember:
I go to fastboot mode
I go to edl mode
I flashed it with an old MiFlash 2016.04.01.0 64 bit with an old official ROM : kate_global_images_6.9.29_20160805.0000.29_6.0_global_9aa2d85137 with recovery.img replaced by an old ZXC-TWRP 3.0.2-X. (This is the way to get a recovery with no need to unlock bootloader)
I started it directly to TWRP recovery mode (to be sure TWRP will stay it I guess?) changed the language and checked OTA checkbox in parameters
I started this old official ROM once (to get the full storage capacity)
I discovered it was a 16GB ROM / 2GB RAM version instead a 32GBROM / 3GB RAM I previously knowed
I restarted to TWRP recovery mode
I wiped david/cache
I flashed the last knowed LineageOS 13 for this phone: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ageos-13-0-t3533744/post83687823#post83687823
I wiped david/cache
I flashed the last radeon kerned on it
I wiped david/cache
I restarted it to LineageOS 13
I restarted to TWRP recovery mode, changed the language and checked OTA checkbox in parameters
I flashed magisk (sytemless)
I wiped david/cache
I restarted it to LineageOS 13
I could use it install a lot of things, was happy with it
Before succeeding I tried a lot of combinations of official ROM/TWRP/MiFlash versions and this couple was the only one working.
Other MiFlash versions don't detect the phone in edl mode
But 2 weeks later, just after installing a new app, the phone sudently reboots and I got stuck in bootloop again...
I could go to recovery one time, I selected reboot system, now I can't go to recovery anymore
I still can go to fastboot mode and edl mode, and I can flash a ROM, but whatever I flash I can't go away from bootloop.
What could the new bootloop come from?
Is my installation sequence good?
Why only this combination of official ROM/TWRP/MiFlash versions was working?
Why can't I start a ROM anymore after a new flash?
Why can't I go to the recovery anymore after a new flash?
How to check if the emmc memory is defective (I got no error while flashing)?
Thanks for reading, hope someone still cares on this old great phone
Sorry for my bad English
No clue what the problem may be. What app did you install? You could always try to go back to stock if you haven't already. Basically wipe phone completely and flash stock through mi flash.

Thanks for your answer.
The last app before bootloop was a sms/mms backup app on google store I get through Aurora.
I tried to flash the stock ROM (old one) kate_global_images_6.9.29_20160805.0000.29_6.0_glo bal_9aa2d85137 but it doesn't start, always bootloop.
I have no option to wipe on the only miflash version that detect my phone in edl : the 2016.04.01.0 64 bit version. so I choose flash all data/storage include, but still bootloop.
Why are you using such a old rom? Use latest miflash and latest global. On the bottom right of miflash you should have something like clean and lock. Just note that if you're unofficially unlocked you'll need to apply for unlock or unlock unofficially again.

Other Miflash version don't detect my phone when it is in edl mode
I could start other stock rom, I know tried this ones:
kate_global_images_7.6.8_20170608.0000.00_6.0_global_2040bd5a39
kate_global_images_8.12.13_20181213.0000.00_6.0_global_304fc0692b
But I couldn't flash my LineageOS 13 + recovery with those.
I tried so much combinations TWRP/Stock rom, I don't remember what I tested.
I just know the MiFlash 2016.04.01.0 64 bit with an old official ROM : kate_global_images_6.9.29_20160805.0000.29_6.0_glo bal_9aa2d85137 with recovery.img replaced by an old ZXC-TWRP 3.0.2-X. was the only one combination that worked for me for installing LineageOS 13 + recovery working
Now, every time I try to flash something (whatever it is) it goes to bootloop...
Only fastboot and edl mode are working
If you have other links / combinations I would be happy to try

This is a little bit to late to the party but the latest both dev rom and global works for me with the latest me miflash. No problems what so ever. Seems like you're facing a hardware issue.

Hi,
No, not too late my phone is still waiting, so thanks for your answer
Could you tell me witch version of rom / tool did you use?
I will try on a other windows computer to be sure there is no conflict with old tools I installed before.
If it works I will flash CM13 (marshmallow), I thought I should not use a too recent dev/global ROM before flashing CM13, but I don't remember were I read this. Is this true?

I'm not home this weekend so I can't say for sure. gismoZ recommends using the 8.0.2 firmware or something like that can't remember, but the latest works just fine on my kate. The latest miflash is from 20200314 and just get the latest global rom and try to flash it.
I tried with an other windows computer, I successfully used last MiFlash version
But now, whatever I flash, ROM version or recovery version, it stay in bootloop when I power it.
I expect the eMMC memory to be faulty but why doesn't I have any error while flashing?
How to be sure this comes from the eMMC chip?
Some people have successfully changed it on the mediatek version of the phone:
https://fr-fr.facebook.com/16816505...c-kmvtu-done/1821360108117225/?_fb_noscript=1
https://translate.google.com/transl.../03/service-hp-xiaomi-redmi-mi-note-mati.html
If I go on this solution I have some questions before:
Must the eMMC chip be programmed before soldering it?
If not, can I program it with MiFlash once soldered?
If not, have I to use some special touch/contact on the mainboard to program it?
How to be sure of the chip model to buy?
Will the chip come already balled? Or have I to ball it before soldering it on mainboard?
Could I buy a 32GB chip instead 16GB original one?
Something else to test before going on this crazy last chance solution?
I bought a EDL flash cable, but I think I don't need it on this phone, I alway success to go to EDL mode from fastboot mode with a small batch script.
Hello ,
Any chance I could get an answer anymore or is my problem too specific maybe?

Redmi 9c Angelica Custom ROM Lineage OS 17 Android 10

Hey guys found our first custom ROM, it's not official but I've been using it for about a week now and the performance is excellent.
There is not many bugs that I've noticed and build is very stable. One big I've noticed is that when kernel is on performance, the screen does not go off automatically.
I've used Kernel Tasker to avoid this issue by turning on performance for certain apps and games, while keeping the system at Interactive for most tasks.
At the bottom is the link for instructions, the OS and gapps. There is a thread in this forum for passing safety net which I recommend. It solved all issues for me since magisk is failing safety net while other safety apps are passing. All the best rooting enjoy the ROM.

I am still using this ROM daily with no problems, before you flash make sure you remove Mi Account. If you do not remove account, phone will bootloop with any ROM you flash.
Pitch black recovery keeps restarting every time when I tried to flash this custom
I don't know what is wrong
Tried so much but in vein
Finally I flashed my phone and makes it workable

Defintely something wrong. I *did*remove my Mi Account, but to no avail, the phone keeps returning to Pich Black Recovery. I would say: not at all recommended to use this ROM. I am quite experienced in rooting phones, but this one fails in any respect. Do not use this ROM!

I don't know what u guys are doing wrong but I'm still using this ROM till today, haven't found anything else but haven't really looked either.
Follow the instructions on the website to the T, wipe when it tells u to wipe and flash everything in order.
The model 9C I'm using is the global variant and it's not NFC. So perhaps you guys are using different variant but I doubt that could be the problem.
I believe somewhere u guys skipped or improvised a step because from my experience with rooting, 1 little detail skipped or over looked or something that might seem harmless can brick a phone.
I have been rooting since 2015 and my 1st phone was hauwei mate 7. Nearly hard bricked the phone and I had to pay to unlock bootloader using DC Unlocker. I rooted using a 3rd party rooting app, can't remember the name but it almost cost me the phone.
But this ROM works for me but it's a gsi ROM, it's not actually a custom ROM. There are other gsi ROMs out there that u could try. Download treble info for more info on which gsi is compatible.

I remember now, King Root that was the culprit app I used with that hauwei mate 7. 1st and last time I ever rooted with 3rd party app. I was so proud of myself when I saved that phone lol still am.
Booting into Lineage ROM. Perhaps others will have difficulty but if u follow instructions carefully and phone has been rooted properly, it will work.
I recommend the guide for rooting by 0purple. How to root and pass safetynet.
Also very important remove Mi account and reboot phone to insure that phone won't lock similar to Google account lock. So remove all accounts and back up data. As the instructions indicate you will be wiping phone as OS requires a clean install.
i flash this customer rom to remove mi account after done camera not work! and after format user data now stuck at recovery i reflash it with stock rom and custom rom but always stuck at logo ! any solution pleas?

I think the ROM originally posted might have a problem. Try follow my link and use 'snooks4tech's' rom. There is also a different recovery and vbmeta in this download that I flashed in fastboot. The rest of the process I more or less followed as per dawood99's video, eg the step to wipe those 3 things in Pitchblack, copy this rom over, and install it along with Gapps and Magisk with Pitchblack. I don't see Magisk in my phone now though. I'm not very experienced with custom roms BTW so not too sure if I had the right Magisk file. Snooks4tech's download has got instructions as well and does not mention Magisk. Thanks to Dawood99 for the video, even if I had problems with the rom it gave me a good overview of the steps and I learned a lot.
PS maybe I didn't answer your question. I had to download the Mi flasher, somehow I got it back into Fastboot, I think by holding power and down volume, then flashed it back to stock Xiaomi. Then I started the custom rom flashing process again. I think I flashed Pitchblack again, and Snooks4tech's vbmeta and recovery. It then booted into Pitchblack properly again, and I could do the rest.
So far this rom is working reasonably well for me, Google play store doesn't work but I side-install APK's by downloading from browser. F-droid app is also intermittently not giving me any apps when I search.
Again I'm not expert at all this so take what I say with a pinch of salt, I could be talking rubbish here and there.
Both ROMs and Install Instructions cause in a boot into PBRP recovery (tried with v3.0+3.1) and MIUI also doesn't boot :-(
My steps:
- In PBRP recovery
-> adb reboot bootloader
In Bootloader
-> fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta9c.img
Then I reboot phone with 3 different trys
-> 1. fastboot reboot
-> 2. Power On + Vol Up
-> 4. Power On + Vol Down
--> With all trys phone reboots into PBRP recovery
Push ZIP Files via MTP isn't possible, so:
-> adb push [LineageROM].zip /
-> adb push [GApps].zip /
Then in PBRP I go to "Install"
-> [LineageROM].zip with "Patch AVB2.0 Verity"
-> [GApps].zip also with "Patch AVB2.0 Verity"
Then I reboot to system from PBRP
But then PitchBlack reboots into recovery
Upgrade and downgrade of PBRP from 3.0 to 3.1 and back to 3.0 works without any problems.
Please help me, many thanks in advance!
/edit: Flashed original MIUI and reinstalled PBRP, then tried to install Lineage again, but boots only in recovery after flashing booth ROMs.

Thanks dude but I'm not responsible for making that video or am I responsible for the website or the files posted on it. I merely stumbled upon the ROM and I should not be credited for it. The creator is credited on the Website I believe and all credit should go to him.
