Hello all!
I am currently on OOS 3.2.8, and official TWRP. I have read all the instructions on the forums but all lead to one option, formatting internal memory. So, my question are:
1. Will flashing oos 4.0 work with official TWRP or 8 have to use modified 28 version?
2. How can I flash oos 4 with modified TWRP and not have to wipe internal memory?
I would appreciate all the responses. Thanks
I was the same predicament as you. I finally took the plunge and now I have Nougat running on my OP3. Here is what I did :
Start: OOS 3.2.8 w/ custom kernel and modified TWRP
1. Flash stock recovery (Google for a forum post in the OP3 forums on downloading the stock recovery and flash it through fastboot)
2. Reboot and let 3.2.8 start
3. Download Snap VPN and change the country to Canada. You will be prompted for the system update.
4. Let the update download (~1 GB)
5. Install the update. You may see an error of the installation may fail as your phone is rooted. Ignore and go ahead.
6. The installer will now boot to stock recovery and reboot with Nougat. All settings and apps will be maintained
The only catch is that you may have ext4 instead of f2fs. I am okay with it for now... But your mileage may vary
All the best!
Edit : Nougat running on my op3.

Are you rooted? Are you encrypted? What file systems are you using for your partitions? You're not giving full information. Why is formatting not an option if it'll give you the results you want?
To get to F2fs (I do recommend it)
Take a backup of your Data partition. , copy it to your pc with "adb pull /sdcard/Twrp/whatever".
Now go to Twrp>Wipe>Advanced select data and click on change file system. Change it to F2fs. Now restore your backup (Reader the guide all info is there). Profit!

I don't have any issues with ext4, infact i do feel ext4 is more stable than f2fs so file system is my last concern. Thanks for your method, but then how did u root again? Installing nougat is fine but what after that? I have read that you can't use modified twrp without formatting internal memory first, as it'll show you the pin issue. Let me know how do you propose a safe method to achieve root.

Yes i am encrypted, rooted, stock OOS 3.2.8 + Franco kernel. Official TWRP(not modified). I am using ext4, never used f2fs at all. The time to backup data and then to restore it all back is the reason formatting is not an "preferred" option for me. I can do it, but i would have to wait until i find enough time to do the whole process. I am in a full time job, so i hope you would understand.

Well this again defeats the purpose of my original question, but thanks mate. I would definitely read the guide if decide to switch to f2fs.
@abhibnl. BTW your encrypted. So the modified TWRP won't work.
How to fix:
Wipe Userdata with Fastboot / fastboot erase UserData
Boot into Twrp modified twrp.
Flash OOS 4.0 flash SuperSU and let it boot
You should be decrypted DO NOT install a boot password since you will be encrypted again.
I haven't rooted my phone again. My only reason to root is to install Adaway to block all ads. With DNS66 and Adguard, I have little incentive to root my stock nougat install.
Edit : I had encryption during 3.2.8 and it carried over to 4.0

Thanks a lot for informing me mate. I really don't want to decrypt my storage as of now. I guess flashing stock recovery is the only solution now. Will hope someone would pick up the twrp and update it.

Seems like stock recovery is the best way as of now. Seems like I'll have to love without root until someone updates twrp to support encrypted storage.
I haven't updated to Nougat yet, but I looked over Chainfire's SuperSU changelog and its installation script and both of them confirm that from March installing SuperSU prevents forced encryption. Also many guides suggest installing it as way for disabling forced encryption. Of course you have to flash SuperSU just after flashing ROM, before booting the system.

That i already knew mate. But i WANT my storage to remain encrypted. And that's the issue with modified TWRP. You can't enter into recovery on that if your storage is encrypted.

Again, "You can't enter into recovery on modified TWRP if your storage is encrypted." So i won't be able to enter into twrp in the first place, let alone flash anything.

In the same boat as you. I have OOS 3.2.8 encrypted, rooted and TWRP 3.0.2-1.26. I too would like to update but have way to much stuff on my phone to back it all up and restore it. Hope you or someone come's up with a solution. I will be following your thread.
Thanks.
Go to twrp. Press backup. Select only data. Save to PC youre backup for safety..
3.2.8 it's Android 6, 4.0 it's Android 7. Some apps might not work from base to base.
If you want to change to F2FS it will format youre phone, wipe phone full internal memory. If you want to change it back to ext4, same.
Clean flash, full wipe it's always better.

My suggestion (and my steps are in #1), install stock recovery, install snap VPN, download the update and install (ignore any errors on root). Once done, you will have Nougat with stock recovery, encryption maintained and all app data also intact.

This is the last resort brother. With this method, unfortunately I won't have any root available. The only way now is to wait for updated twrp.

Well, I tried something, waiting on it to finishing booting and see how it went.
I flashed twrp-3.0.2-1.28-oneplus3p version,
Flashed the OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_035_all_1612310359_e10cadfb2af7.zip inside TWRP,
Flashed SR1-SuperSU-v2.79-SR1-20161221223537.zip right after flashing OTA zip.
Its rebooting and says Android is upgrading. Fingers crossed.
EDIT: Its booted and I am on Nougat, didnt lose my data and phone is still encrypted!
Edit: Ended up having issues with settings app locking up. So, I went a different route and its all working great now.
Downloaded the stock recovery image and renamed it to recovery.img
Make sure after you rename it its not named recovery.img.img, If you have show file extensions enabled on your pc you should already see the file extension.
Rebooted to bootloader - adb flash recovery recovery.img
Using the volume keys and power button selected - reboot recovery.
Now in stock recovery - flashed OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_035_all_1612310359_e10cadfb2af7.zip
After rom is done flashing, went right back into bootloader. Did not let my phone reboot to start the OS.
Renamed twrp-3.0.2-1.28-oneplus3p.img to recovery.img
adb flash recovery recover.img
Powered off phone and Manually boot it into recovery by holding Power + Volume Down button.
Phone booted into TWRP
Flashed SR1-SuperSU-v2.79-SR1-20161221223537.zip
Wiped cache / dalvik
Rebooted system from TWRP and waited. System is really smooth now, no issues yet. Been playing with it for awhile now.
During the booting up process it might take a minute and it will reboot twice. Dont get nervous like I did thinking it was going to start bootlooping. It booted just fine. I read in a nother thread that SuperSU is what causes it to boot twice.
So......Now I have OOS 4.0 Nougat, Rooted, Encrypted and everything seems to be working fine.

Hello please help. So I unlocked bootloader, set up Google and finger scanning password. Flashed SuperSU and that's when everything went wrong. Got stuck on the boot logo. Any suggestions? I've read about using the Qualcomm driver method but I'm unsure if it'll work on a Mac? Any help ? I've used twrp to flash ROM no luck. Used stock recovery but adb doesn't detect my devices I guess I didn't enable USB debugging after unlocking the bootloader.

Flashing the stock firmware using TWRP should do it for you. Just perform a FULL WIPE (formatting all partitions) before flashing the rom and keep in mind that you need a modified TWRP version to flash Oxygen OS based roms. The official TWRP won't do it.
Can you explain what you mean by "formatting all partitions"?
I have a modified twrp recovery. When I click on wipe there is two options " advance wipe" and "format data" is the 2nd optioption the one your referring too as well? I flashed ROM.zip with the modified twrp without formatting data (I rather wait on your reply to be sure) and instead of getting stuck on the boot logo it is doing a bootloop now. Thanks for your assistance BTW.

"Cache"
"Data"
"Internal Storage"
"System"
--> swipe to wipe
If you don't get any errors
--> restart TWRP (Or you can't access the storage)
--> flash rom
Did that no luck. I'm trying to flash 3.2.7 anything tricky/specific I should be doing ?
I'm going to flash 3.2.6 tomorrow when I get near Wi-Fi and See what happens.
Should I be downloading "OTA zip" or" oxygenOS 3.2.6 full zip"

OTA = on the air update // for upgrading your android version e.g. OOS 3.2.6 --> 3.2.8 // NOT for solo installation!
You can either use OOS 3.2.6 or the very awesome Open Beta 7 (Don't be irritated because there is "OTA" in the filename, both are complete roms)
These are full roms officially from OnePlus.net and I'm pretty sure that they will work together with TWRP 3.0.2-22.
I suppose you simply used the wrong files. Could you tell me where you downloaded the files?

i literally downloaded those files you linked to me and still no luck. it shouldn't be a problem that I'm using android file manager to transfer the rom over to my phone right? I'm going to wipe everything and go to stock recovery and use adb push to flash stock rom. any other suggestions you got?
Anyone please? I've rooted moto g 1st and 4th grn so it's not the fact that I'm being a complete noob. I've downloaded the modified twrp flashed 3.2.6, beta 7 and cyanogenmod. No luck on anything.

I doubt that though there is no specific info on this .
After a bit of trial and error, I managed to find a combination of files and actions that allowed me to successfully root my 64GB Pixel C on 8.0.0 by installing SuperSU via TWRP.
Steps:
Perform a clean installation of the official release, found here
Use the unofficial 3.0.0 TWRP release found in this thread (direct download link here) and boot to recovery ("fastboot boot [TWRP filename].img") - the latest official 3.1.1 TWRP did not work, either via flashing or booting
ADB sideload SuperSU 2.82SR3 found in this thread (direct download link here)
Hope this helps!
Stuck at TWRP after
Flashed the TWRP from the link and side loaded the SuperSU, now my Pixel C is stuck at TWRP on reboot, any idea ?

Thanks. My problem was my pixel kept booting to TWRP even selecting to boot the system, kind of strange. I think I missed your first step, the pad was OTA updated to 8.0 from 8.0 Beta release. I will try again with flash the factory image of 8.0 first.

Still works for me as of the September 2017 update. About to try it again with the October update.
It's driving me absolutely mad. I just got a brand new Pixel C today. It's updated to the latest Oreo but nothing else has been installed yet. I unlocked the bootloader and copied the SuperSU zip file onto the device via USB file transfer from my PC, then I set up a password. I'm booting (not flashing) TWRP because all I want is root.
When I'm prompted for a password in TWRP I'm told it's invalid. I also tried "default_password" and that's invalid, too. I looked all over for a solution and found a modified TWRP that doesn't prompt for a password but it won't decrypt the internal storage.
I'm really pulling my hair out here. I can't figure out why it's working for some people and not others.

Try format userdata, then boot straight into twrp
Command is "fastboot format userdata"
You also have to flash SuperSU while in twrp to stop the tablet from encrypting again.

I'm confused about "stop the tablet from encrypting again". I know TWRP needs to decrypt the data partition to access it, but are you saying encryption won't be re-enabled when I reboot the system? I had to ask because it sounds strange that installing the SuperSU zip would mess with encryption.

If everything goes to plan yes.
You can encrypt again if you wish through settings once the tablet is booted up

No just use flashfire to update and keep root, it won't encrypt the tablet. You can still boot official twrp as well after using flashfire to update as your tablet shouldn't encrypt.

Is removing encryption something everyone is doing, or is it just a workaround for the people who can't get TWRP to work? I never ran into anything like this before.

Don't know, only telling you what I did cause I had the same problem as you
Well I'm finally rooted. I didn't change the encryption, just tried a different method and after several tries it finally worked. I used adb sideload inside TWRP after canceling the password screen. Odd that it took several tries, though, to get through it without generating errors. We'll see how it goes next month.
I have had a lot of trouble with rooting Oreo...
I started out trying to use Magisk but gave up after many attempts. Every version, and every kernel I tried resulted in booting to recovery and not system. I could have tried the ADB method but I actually want to have TWRP so I didn't try that.
By the time I tried SuperSU my factory image had had an OTA and many apps & files installed so I can't say my system is "clean" but I have Fastboot flashed the stock boot image many (many) times to recover from whatever Magisk does to the kernel. I never looked all that hard for this unofficial TWRP people talk about so I used 3.1.1-1. At some point I converted to File Based Encryption because it is so much nicer to use, and so TWRP cannot decrypt my internal storage, but the workaround is to put zips and images on a USB drive. It also does not ask for a password. So far so good, I have my workarounds. I do also have this weird error where TWRP cannot unmount the system but I can flash kernels without problems. I have chosen to keep system read-only for superstitious reasons. I think it will fail if I look at it funny sometimes lol.
From this state I flashed the latest SuperSU and it booted! So I do have root. I still would like to try Magisk for the modules but it seems this isn't ready. However, my trusty old terminal app hangs at the su command... and several kernels will crash my tablet... so it's "working" but there is more to do. And literally just now I see I have an OTA. lol.
I followed the original instructions and got rooted with the latest version of Oreo. But, TWRP still wouldn't flash correctly without causing boot loops.
I finally got it resolved by using the original instructions, then loading the Official TWRP app from Google Play. I used the app to flash twrp-3.1.1-1-dragon.img.
Everything is working properly now. I have 8.0.0 (OPR1.170623.032, Nov 2017) loaded and rooted, and the Pixel C will boot into TWRP and see the encrypted data.
Is it posible to flash latest Oreo stock factory image https://developers.google.com/android/images ryu-opr1.170623.032-factory-020f1cf9.zip using stock TWRP or do I have to side load it ?
I'm getting a Invalid zip file format error in TWRP when I try and flash it
Hi,
Googled a while and looked around in the forum but did not find anyone with the exact same issue as me so here goes.
Maybe someone could tell me where exactly I am doing wrong.
I have a LG Nexus 5X, latest Oreo 8.1 official update.
I want to install a custom kernel to improve performance and/or battery life.
Never rooted or anything like that so I googled around to know what to do.
So I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the latest TWRP custom recovery (v3.2.1-0).
The first strange thing unlike what I kept reading in tutorials and forums is that, although I did reboot directly into recovery after flashing TWRP, and completed flashing TWRP using its interface, I was never able to reboot into TWRP unless I flashed it again. As if TWRP could not avoid being overridden by the stock recovery. So to get back to TWRP I always have to:
reboot into the bootloader: adb reboot bootloader
flash TWRP: flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-bullhead.img
reboot bootloader: fastboot reboot
immediately start into to bootloader (power + vol down)
choose 'Recovery Mode' from there
Which seemed odd, that TWRP wouldn't 'stick', although I was not root yet.
Which gets me to the second part. All I wanted was to root my phone.
So after not finding a consistent way to do it - it seemed every website I visited gave me slightly different instructions to do so, I took the chance and did the following:
download latest SuperSU flashable zip file (v2.82) and copy it to internal storage
go through the process I describe in the list above to get into TWRP
install SuperSU zip file (via Install TWRP option, logs seemed ok, warned me it would take a while to boot again)
reboot, wait until it boots
But the phone got stuck in the boot screen - OS does not start to load - for at least half an hour.
Luckily, probably because the OS did not load, TWRP was not overridden and so I have access to it.
My main problem at this point is that, as a newbie on this, I am not sure what can I do in TWRP to try to restore the OS.
I have tried to restore a Nandroid backup I performed before all this, and also tried to Wipe Data / Cache and Dalvik.
Both did not work - OS still won't load.
What can I do at this point? Wipe System partition? Wouldn't that delete my Nandroid backup?
Maybe 'sideload' (not sure if the right term) an official google image for my Nexus?
Sorry again if questions like this can be easily found around the forum, but from the threads I checked I did not bump into the exact same scenario...
Thank you in advance
So in the meantime I have wiped system partition, no success either.
Ended up restoring my Nandroid backup and sideloading the latest OTA from Google, which successfully restored my phone.
Of course TWRP was overridden once again.
So back to the start: can anybody help me out on the best way to permanently flash TWRP and root the phone?
Thanks!
Forget SuperSU - Use Magisk to root your phone. As for TWRP getting overwritten - any time you take an update from Google, it will generally (if not always) restore the stock recovery. The way to get around that is to download the entire current update from Google and then use fastboot to flash the individual parts (system.img / boot.img / radio.img / vendor.img)

Well yes, the last time I expected TWRP to be gone since I have applied the whole image, and I wouldn't expect otherwise. My problem is that TWRP is always getting overridden each time I reboot my phone. Do you have any idea why?
Regarding Magisk, I will look around to see how to use it. Could you point me in the right direction?
Also I think I read somewhere that the kernel I wanted to flash in the end - Franco's Kernel - required SuperSU and did not work with Magisk. Am I wrong?

Here's the guide stickied that should walk you through the TWRP install. https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206930
Just curious you are using "fastboot flash recovery ....." and not "fastboot boot recovery...."? The "boot" method doesn't do the install.
As for Magisk. There is a whole forum dedicated to it - https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk - Short story install the latest stable version (16.0) and call it good. I haven't had any issues with recent kernel builds including Franco, EX, etc.... One thing to keep in mind is that Magisk always gets flashed after the kernel install as it does some patching of the boot.img as part of its process.

Yes, flash, not boot.
Thanks a bunch for all your help. I didn't meant to be lazy to start by reading sticked topics, but it's so much new information for a newbie that I didn't exactly know where to start. Thanks again for sharing the links.
I'm not sure if you got this fixed. But if not, first fastboot boot twrp. Then flash supersu or magisk. Then boot back into the bootloader from twrp and fastboot flash twrp. That'll solve the problem.

I tried that but I'm getting no luck with SuperSU, always gets me in a bootloop (actually, technically not a loop since it remains Frozen with the Google logo)
I'll give magisk a try and come back with feedback. Maybe it has something to do SuperSU incompatibility with Oreo 8.1..

V2.82 Stable, not Service Release. Is the last stable not compatible with Oreo? Official website is not specific about it, so I just assumed it was ok.

3 or 5 work on Oreo. I'm not sure about stable. I don't use it.

SR5 worked like a charm. I just wish there was a compatibility matrix somewhere in their website to avoid so many forum threads and misinformation on the subject and avoid all the hustle. The whole process is dead simple but it took me days and tailored help from you guys to figure this one out.
Thanks again to all of you for your assistance.
i had that issue with a nex 6 and flashing supersu fixed it. when i got a 6p i tried the same and get stuck on the boot logo and had to sideload factory firmware to get back to go. i have a 5x on the way maybe i will try magisk.
so after i flash twrp reboot the bootloader, i open twrp and flash supersu sr5 and all is well, no more disappearing act for twrp and no more stuck on the "google"?

For best results a clean flash is recommended for this package
Format data, and remove any apps installed to external sd. Then wipe system, dalvik, cache, data, internal storage
This will ensure no lingering apps are left behind.
If coming from Nougat, Clean Flash is Highly Recommended
Wipe Dalvik, System, Data, Cache... then flash
If coming from previous Oreo Versions
Wipe Dalvik, Cache, and System, and optionally data and internal storage
If you do not perform a clean flash, you may need to manually remove the apps left behind after flashing

Encryption Notes
In Android, a stock device will have it's data encrypted. Often when working in TWRP on an encrypted device, you will be greeted by prompt asking for a passcode in order to decrypt the device. Unless that port of TWRP has been written for your specific device and supports decryption, you will not be able to decrypt the data on your phone. If you cannot decrypt the data, then TWRP cannot mount system and/or other partitions it needs to mount in order to safely flash anything. In order to solve this problem, sadly, you have to format the data partition on your phone (losing all personal data accumulated on the internal storage, so back it all up manually) The steps for this process are Format Data in TWRP, Reboot to recovery (to mount partitions), then flash your rom and root. There are a few tools out there to disable force encryption on your device. See the Required section above for links for this device.
Packages have been successfully tested VIA the methods outlined above.
If anyone has any issues with one or more of these packages, please let me know. Thank you!

would it be possible for you to make a "debloated" stock rom?? all stuff we can "technically" reinstall from play store. Something close to stock android as possible.
This did not work. I used the zip with magisk. Magisk was and is not installed I lost TWRP and download mode doesnt work and just reboots to system after a minute.
Anyway to fix this? It boots fine but i dont have fastboot and download mode shows only the download mode screen then reboots

Verify that you did download "h93220p_fullStock_wMagisk.zip". It worked fine for me, and I can confirm it has magisk as I was on 17.3 on 20o and magisk manager says I'm on 18.
Also, were you coming from 20o?

Sorry M8, but i tested this zip and verified that it flashes all partitions and then flashes magisk all in one go. I think maybe you downloaded the package without magisk by mistake.
This zip does not flash LAF, so if you had TWRP on LAF before flashing this, you should be able to just boot to download mode using the usb cable and reflash TWRP to recovery.

After further testing, I discovered that after wiping and doing a clean flash of FullStock w Magisk, Magisk failed to repack the boot image. I had to flash magisk a second time for it to complete the process.
I will update the OP. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I hope you are able to get back into TWRP

No recovery was not in LAF and was overwritten and I don't have fastboot and download mode doesn't seem to work right. Phone works just no root I guess. I should have paid more attention to what was going on when I flashed it.

Im sorry man. I honestly have no idea why download mode was affected because these zips don't touch it at all. If you go through the root process again, I recommend keeping a copy of TWRP on both LAF and Recovery.

Ok, so I cooked up a debloated and deodexed ROM, but when I tested it, it was really laggy and some system apps crashed all the time.
I think I might be able to get away with not deodexing it for better performance, and probably keeping a few of the apps I removed. Id rather not publish it until it's smooth and stable, so I'll keep working on it.
let me know if you are interested in trying the unstable build and ill upload it but it has issues

I did remove chrome in the ROM so ill keep that in mind when I try again tonight. I don't think I'm going to deodex it either unless I get a smooth running build.. I'm not sure the advantage in oreo anyway since it's vdex now. but ill give it another go
I just find out that this rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...m-lineageos-17-1-huawei-p8-lite-2017-t4064121 could be installed on our device wtih minor changes.After installing all things you will need to install stock recovery and wipe cache and try to do factory reset(i tried to but i got error massage) then you will successfully boot into rom

Try the lastest TWRP in this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...wrp-3-3-1-0-huawei-p8-lite-2017-t3953122/amp/
After installing system.img, u need to resize the system partition, until see the used space ~17xxmb and free ~18xx mb,
after that flash gapps
and MUST flash Magisk Phh 19.3
the flash the patch file.
After first boot, you need to, format data in erecovery
Everything works smoothly except......can not make and receive calls, ooopss
update, i try to roll back to emui8, and start the process again. it works now.
recommend to update, lets teach the old dog new trick
A big job ahead ?. I will try and I will tell you if it works thank you for your answer. One last question is there a way to keep a custom recovery because sometimes magisk's module causes a botloop (sorry for my bad English ?)

So I came back (finally) to emui 8 and I tried to install the recovery custom but I still cannot access the internal storage memory.
I think it comes from my model because I have a Huawei GR5 2017 which is supposed to be a 'copy' of the honor 6x but all the roms which require emui 5.x installed do not work.
In any case thank you very much for your help! [emoji106]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MnFBplsp3nZ3b0BiJ764cV67kHXeRzL4/view?usp=sharing
use twrp-3.3.1emui8v2.img for everything
In the last step after everything flashed, you flash the other twrp huaweitwrp.img
reboot into that twrp
chooose advances; fix encryption
reboot system, then you can access internal memory
the same process with android 10.
mine is also Gr5 2017 and now running 10, no bug

I managed to find a compatible recovery but when I flashed everything and I did a factory reset from the erecovery the phone restarts and it displays the logo lineageOs for 5 seconds then it restarts and the screen remains black then it restarts and displays the logo then it restarts in erecovery telling me that the memory has been seriously damaged.
I think I will give up here([emoji28])but anyway thank you for your help [emoji106].

at first it says encryption unsuccessful then i was told to format the date from twrp, now it stuck on boot animation, i have left it overnight and it reboots to bootloader with code BFM_S_NATIVE_DATA_FAIL 211 NA
reboot_panic_and_wdt_process_func
finally i managed to get it work, so now i'm going to post every single thing i did to make this rom works and i will try to be as noob friendly as possible
first thing first in case you mess everything up, i found out this guide to be some sort of remedy for all problems regarding honor 6x, because from here you will install stock emui 5 which you can use to upgrade to stock emui 8 from this guide
use the guide above if you want to go back to stock rom because every single custom rom will require you to flash from the stock rom
next i follow the guide provided here, after flashing the patch go back to stock oreo recovery which is available on the emui 8 folder you downloaded earlier
do factory reset and wipe cache after that load to bootloader again
finally flash huaweitwrp.img provided by lusci on the post #7
boot to system and enjoy

How can there be such awesome people? It works in my Honor 6X! And it's fully de-googled man this is just perfect! Thank you very much for this...
These are the steps (thanks @DunoCZ) I followed if an Honor 6X user want to install this ROM:
- *Upgrade to EMUI 8!*
- *Remove the saved fingerprints and Google Accounts just in case*
- Flash the TWRP recovery from @Dil3mm4
- Format cache, dalvik cache, data and system: TWRP -> Wipe -> Advanced Wipe
- Flash the ROM via TWRP (you can try with fastboot but it already works with TWRP): TWRP -> Install -> Install Image
- Resize the system partition: TWRP -> Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> System -> Resize (DO NOT FORMAT!)
- (Optional) Install GApps, Magisk
- (Required) Install patch
- Reboot and wait

Yea, i cant get it to work. No matter what i do after
- flashing system.img
- resizing the system partition
- installing opengapps
- installing magisk
- installing the patch
followed by either:
-straight up booting it.
- doing everything i can in every bootloader.
evenm if i freshly format /data the system get stuck in a boot. Have tried all of the recoveries in this thread. All are basically the same, from what i have observed.
Edit: Figured it out. apparently my gapps was somehow broken. Downloaded a fresh arm64-ogapps and all is working now

first thing first in case you mess everything up, i found out this guide to be some sort of remedy for all problems regarding honor 6x, because from here you will install stock emui 5 which you can use to upgrade to stock emui 8 from this guide
use the guide above if you want to go back to stock rom because every single custom rom will require you to flash from the stock rom
next i follow the guide provided here, after flashing the patch go back to stock oreo recovery which is available on the emui 8 folder you downloaded earlier
do factory reset and wipe cache after that load to bootloader again
finally flash huaweitwrp.img provided by lusci on the post #7
boot to system and enjoy

Ok let me make it simple for you.
1. Flash stock Oreo Rom (no need to boot it)
2. Flash TWRP by Dilemma in fastboot.
3. Go to recovery and wipe data by typing yes to decrypt data partition (if not already decrypted)
4. Go to fastboot and flash system.img
5. Reboot to recovery and resize system partition
6. Flash GApps
7. Flash los patches zip
8. Flash disable Dm verity patch
9. Flash magisk-phh zip in the end.
10. Reboot and wait.
I used these steps to flash different GSIs/ROMs and it works perfectly.
I managed to flash the rom but without flashing the gapps because I don't know exactly which one to flash should I flash gapps for android 10 arm64 or gapps for android 8.0 ??
try both and it gives me error 20

I managed to flash the rom successfully, but I don't know if this only happens to me, I feel it is slow and the cell phone is heating up more than normal. ?
