oxygen OS 4.0 no twrp possible

Installed oxygen OS 4.0 everything seems to become OK
but after flashing twrp 3.0.2 to the phone it is just hanging in a black screen.
I tried several twrp alternatives from XDA: always same result.
After some seconds up to some minutes it is possible to reboot but no twrp has been flashed.
The twrp 3.0.2 works fine in the old version of OS oxygen

Hi, you can fix it. Flash OnePlus3_OpenBeta7-FIRMWARE+MODEM-flashable.zip
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767116249
I use this twrp and works!

You need PC to see youre phone in FASTBOOT. ADB + drivers instaled.
Reboot youre phone in Fastboot (Boot loader), then flash recovery. After flashing reboot to recovery.

I'd like to know some details before installing:
FIRMWARE+MODEM what is this? Is firmware the whole oxygen OS? Modem is for mobile connection like LTE?
What are the advantages in comparison of using the originals?
Can you give me the origin of the twrp you attached?

I think I did exactly what you described. But nothing in the newly flashed TWRP resulted must in a black screen.

Install the modified TWRP v 3.0.2.1-28. Search in XDA you should find it. Flash it and boot into recovery. I installed it and flashed OOS 4.0 OTA through this recovery. Everything is working fine.

Black screen means you did not flash it.
Open Command Promt. Type:
fastboot flash recovery "recovery".img. (name of the recovery between commas)
reboot bootloader.
reboot to recovery.

Because we don't have any twrp updated to support Nougat oos roms. The ones we have can only read decrypted storage. I'm too waiting for someone to pick up the development and build an updated twrp.

Flashing this one works

Yeah, I noticed that too, after writing the comment.
For me though, I only needed to create the Nandroid backup and flash SuperSU, so I flashed the recovery, cancelled the decryption, formatted the data (removing the encryption), adb push'd the zip and installed it.
Any idea how I can turn the encryption back on now?

@RoFrie I originally had the same problem as you but with the difference that my phone was on OOS 3.2.8 and it upgrade to N. after that I tried TWRP but the phone would replace it every time I rebooted. Once I got the right TWRP I can boot to it but the internal drive was encrypted so TWRP was useless. I said forget this crap I'm going back to CM14.1. And as always I felt that I had to get this done. So once on CM14.1 I used TWRP to switch the file system to s2fs flash OOS3.2.8 than I let it do the upgrade yet again. This time when I flashed the TWRP .28 the phones was no longer encrypted,I rooted than its all good now.

Are you sure it didn't work? The message is just a warning. The second OKAY indicates that it has been flashed sucessfully.

What recovery are you trying to flash?
If you are flashing stock recovery , the "no command" screen with the android robot is correct.

I tried recovery of Alberto97(tree versions), tried also chinese recovery, both does not worked.

Did you test the recovery you want to flash by using
fastboot boot recovery
?
It is a bad idea to directly flash an untested recovery. You may get the wrong file. Your download may be broken. Just test it at least once using fastboot boot, and if it runs you may try to flash. I am sure I don't want to flash anything that does not run. Usually I do not flash, but run using the cable if I need it. Do you really need the recovery when you're away from your computer?

This is stock recovery. Flash in twrp as image. Select recovery ramdisk as partition.
After flash. Reboot to recovery from twrp. That should take you to stock recovery. There you can do a factory reset.

The recovery I posted before was for bl24 usa version ORRRREEEEEOOOOO ONNNNLLYYY. You need to get correct recovery_ramdisk.img and kernel.img for your device. First flash stock recovery_ramdisk in twrp as img. When you select the recovery img twrp will ask you where you want to install it. Select ramdisk recovery. If you rooted your device than you need kernel. You need to flash that in fastboot. Make sure your frp is unlocked. If you don't flash kernel your device won't reboot. To extract those img for your device. You need to download update.zip for your device. Google Huawei update extractor. Download that. Select update zip in application then update.app. Extract kernel.img and recovery_ramdisk.img.
To get update.zip for your device download Huawei firmware finder in play store. Download only update.zip
In Huawei update extractor you will get an error when trying to open update.zip. go to settings and unclick first box in settings and try open. You will see like 20 or 30 files.

Perfect time to find this post. I am getting the OTA update notification but it won't install on TWRP. My strategy is to return to stock (unrooted and stock recovery) to get the OTA. Once I am on that, get TWRP and Resurrection Remix.

You could try flashing kernel in twrp just saying wouldn't boot for me. You could try flashing kernel in twrp reboot to twrp than flash stock ramdisk. Not sure

My reboot options in TWRP are System, Power off, Recovery, and Bootloader.
Assuming Bootloader is the one I am to select?
Sorry for all the questions...i have never restored stock kernel or recovery. Just trying to get it back to stock to take the OTA so I can get back to TWRP and install Resurrection Remix.

this is the recovery to use for 7x oreo right?

Root? Roms? Custom Recovery? Bootlocker Unlock? Anyone?

I am also checking 5z forums daily
Asus have launched kernel sources and it is project treble supported and custom rom development is easy so looking forward for some development to start:crying::crying::crying:

i was planning to buy this phone as i wanted to flash resurrection remix but guess have to wait

The phone released recently, and very late in the year. Most devs are on treble phones, or ones like the OnePlus 6. The phone is probably treble compliant, so in theory owners can use any treble ROM.

Yes I have unlocked bootloader. I used official asus apk
Then downloaded twrp-3.2.1-0-X00Q-20180508.img
Next fastboot flash boot recovery.img and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - I saw Bootloader Version is empty
Now I dont know how I have older bootloader version WW_user_80.11.37.53 but I do not have twrp.

Edit: Please use my updated guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5z/how-to/guide-zenfone-5z-how-to-root-downgrade-t3815877
Here is what i did to root the 5Z ZS620KL:
1. Download the unlock app AND the installed firmware from asus:
download
2. Install adb and fastboot
download
3. Copy the app to the phone, start it and follow the on screen instructions > bootloader unlocked
Warning: When booting the phone you will now see a warning message!
4. Unzip the downloaded firmware and use a tool to extract the boot.img from the payload.bin. I used payload_dumper.
download
5. Copy the extracted boot.img from payload_output folder to the 5z.
6. Download magisk manager app from the officiall thread on xda, install it and use it to patch the boot.img on your phone (install>install>patch boot.img)
download
7. Copy the patched_boot.img back to your computer (the original boot.img will be approx 65mb the patched one approx 19mb)
8. Start your phone in fasboot mode (hold "power + volume up" to switch on your phone). You will see "FastBoot Mode" in red letters on screen. Connect your phone to the computer using the usb cable.
9. Open a command line and check if your phone is recognized by executing:
Code:
fastboot devices
You should see the serial number of your phone.
10. Change to the path where you copied your patched_boot.img and use fastboot to flash the patched_boot.img to your device:
Code:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
11. Start your phone from the fastboot menu using volume up/down and power to select.
Bugs/problems:
- You will see three warning messages while booting, at least i do. One for the unlocked bootloader and the next one comes twice saying "There is an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details." which you have to confirm.
- I used the latest stable Magisk V16.0 + Manager V5.8 and Magisk hide is not working. It does not save the apps marked for hide. Maybe some write error?

I have purchased zenfone 5Z but it's model number on box is ZS621KL. I see the guide posted for rooting and TWRP install is for ZS620KL. is this same guide applicable to my model as well or this is a different version something like zenfone 5 and Not zenfone 5 Z

Here is what i did to root the 5Z ZS620KL:
1. Download the unlock app AND the installed firmware from asus:
download
2. Install adb and fastboot
download
3. Copy the app to the phone, start it and follow the on screen instructions > bootloader unlocked
Warning: When booting the phone you will now see a warning message!
4. Unzip the downloaded firmware and use a tool to extract the boot.img from the payload.bin. I used payload_dumper.
download
5. Copy the extracted boot.img from payload_output folder to the 5z.
6. Download magisk manager app from the officiall thread on xda, install it and use it to patch the boot.img on your phone (install>install>patch boot.img)
download
7. Copy the patched_boot.img back to your computer (the original boot.img will be approx 65mb the patched one approx 19mb)
8. Start your phone in fasboot mode (hold "power + volume up" to switch on your phone). You will see "FastBoot Mode" in red letters on screen. Connect your phone to the computer using the usb cable.
9. Open a command line and check if your phone is recognized by executing:
Code:
fastboot devices
You should see the serial number of your phone.
10. Change to the path where you copied your patched_boot.img and use fastboot to flash the patched_boot.img to your device:
Code:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
11. Start your phone from the fastboot menu using volume up/down and power to select.

When and where you have find a TWRP recovery for ZenFone 5 z (SK620KL) ??????!!!!!!!!!!!?????????
Reflash stock recovery if you can but you flash wrong TWRP for your model of your device ..... You soft brick or hard brick your device
Before READ the tutorial step by step and watch the model of the device ............ It's the base for an hacker
You have ZenFone 5 z with stock rom like pixel rom with the snp 845 what do you need ? why you want install TWRP no custom rom at this moment just trebble project but it's not for now the best way
And ZenFone 5 received Android P just wait

Go to system>about phone> sofware version and check your version. Mine starts with WW_80.11.37.69. You need to download the right firmware version from asus (WW or JP). It should work for ZS621KL.
