... with respects to recovery and flashing. Just picked up this one about 2 hours ago. I used the unified tool kit, am rooted and running RR... But I can only boot into CM recovery. Any attempts to flash (using toolkit to boot to TWRP) SuperSU, or ARISE, or whatever, don't do anything.
What's the trick
Well usually you got to flash the rom, flash twrp. Then reboot back to twrp, for flashing extra packages. Usually after ROM + TWRP, I like booting into OS and setting things up and then going to twrp to flash root.
But your problem is very simple to solve. Just flash twrp recovery from bootloader using "fastboot boot ' twrp image name ' ". Then reflash the rom and twrp. Then boot into the os. Then go back into twrp to root and flash arise sounds or what not. I am running RR with no issues and arise sounds is working no issues.
Thank you. I'm booting into TWRP now just fine, but flashing SuperSU and ARISE don't work,.. Or at least, the apps don't show up as they should
edit: update
used the supersu SR3 version and now everything is normal
cheers

Guys here's the thing. Android N on my N5X. When trying to install TWRP 3.0.2.2 through Nexus Root Toolkit it first boots up the recovery then when I reboot to system and back there is no TWRP. But it remains there when I use the Root button which roots and installs custom recovery. So when I have root I have TWRP. Can't I have TWRP without root I wonder?

Doesnt the toolkit have a check box to install a script or whatever to patch the system so the recovery wont be over written? Mine has it in flash recovery option!
I'm experiencing this issue as well. I tried to install TWRP after installing that October security updates. I wonder if there's something in the update that is preventing TWRP from installing?

It has something called perm.flash.recovery.zipor something which is described to do the thing you said but the problem is when the phone gets the" flash perm.flash.recovery.zip" it does nothing. It does nothing even when I try to flash it manually when I get the "trial" TWRP which disappears after rebooting.
Had the same problem. I solved it by using the old fashioned way, with fastboot commands found on the TWRP page: https://twrp.me/devices/lgnexus5x.html
Of course, I used the last image: twrp-3.0.2-2-bullhead.img
Hi!
I'm currently using flash rom and kernel. As I've always done so, I like to flash TWRP and then SuperSU to enjoy the little tweaks offered by root.
Since the last 8.1 update, I'm facing a few issues that in my opinion are correlated.
First, flashing TWRP works well, but it seems not to be systemless, i.e. when I reboot my device the proper way, TWRP disappears.
Secondly, when I try to flash the latest stable SuperSU zip through my working TWRP (it's a one shot...), the process gives me no error, but then on the first boot, I get stuck on the huge Google logo... The only thing I can do is re-flashing boot.img but obviously the SuperSU app didn't install...
What should I do? Install a beta SuperSU version? Try Magisk (honestly, I don't really like it...)
Thanks for your help and patience!

Do this, first boot twrp, don't flash it. Once booted flash SU 2.82 SR5. Then boot back into the bootloader from twrp and flash twrp. Works for me.

Huge thanks for this!!! I was having the exact same problem (boot hangs at Google logo) and this resolved it!
I noticed that afterwards in the apps drawer I could not find any SuperSU, but doing adb shell and then invoking su worked, so I then just installed the supersu app from the play store to handle prompts (it seems without the app, root is enabled silently and doesn't seem like that great of an idea).
-----------EDIT------------
After installing the app from play store, DO NOT allow it to update the supersu binaries! I ran into bootloop again after that, and had to re-flash SR5 again. Seems like that's the magical version to use!
You're right about having super su update. I had the same problem.
Edit, I just checked and I'm actually using SR3. SuperSu then updated those binaries without a problem.
Hi, thanks for the answers. What do you guys mean by 'booting twrp without flashing it'? What's the fastboot command?

fastboot boot (drag and drop twrp.img file here)

Well for the record, I did the following
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-bullhead
Then, I installed SuperSU downloaded here. I went back to fastboot and used
Code:
fastboot flash twrp-3.2.1-0-bullhead
but I still got stuck on the Google logo, meaning that my boot was corrupted or something... I then flashed the original Google boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot.img
and re-did the process of flashing SuperSU but I wisely chose to find a SR5 version of the file. I didn't flash TWRP after that and my phone booted normally with supersu.apk installed in it and the root privileges granted ... I don't know if I should try flashing TWRP again since my phone is working fine right now, but thanks anyway for the tip of booting to TWRP and not flashing it directly!
my flashing history:
i was on audax (oos based nougat rom) with blu spark kernel before, then went to official ob1, then back to audax, then back to stock oos nougat and now i flashed audax and after clean flashing it, it just wont boot up.
when i try to boot up i see the 1+ logo but then it reboots to recovery. i also tried flashing stock nougat again and also flashed stock kernel manually but it also doesnt work.
i always do:
1. wipe system/dalvic/cache/data
2. install ROM
3. wipe dalvik/cache
4. flash magisk (also tried without flashing magisk)
5. reboot
i've been looking on the interwebs all day but nothing worked.. help pls :/
EDIT: problem was blu spark twrp. Maybe installing Oreo ****ed it up. I flashed codeworkx newest twrp universal build and now Im able to boot again!! Btw: I also found that magisk 15.0 prohibits a proper boot up and results in a boot loop. version 15.2, however, does the trick!
when it auto reboot to recovery, formate data
When s**t happens, it is wise to start everything from scratch:
-boot in fastboot mode and flash stock recovery with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (rename recovery.img with your recovery filename), then reboot recovery and select english, advanced, adb sideload;
-flash stock OS with "adb sideload rom.zip" (rename rom.zip with your Oxygen OS filename).
Procedure will require some minute because of the large file size. Remember to save all your data on internal storage first!
I advice you to flash original recovery because often sideloading in TWRP leads to some error.
Your phone will boot again... after that you may reflash TWRP, Magisk etc
I had the same issue. Bootloop and jumb into recovery by itself. You have to flash magisk 15.2 via recovery and will be boot.

He says that it occurs even without Magisk... I had a similar trouble once, and the only way to solve it was the procedure I wrote above...
I dont know if you can boot it w/o root

Why not? Stock OS is not rooted.

SOLVED! TWRP was the only variable left that I didn't think of. See initial post for solution. thx for help!
Hello all If any one can help me ,
I was rooted running rooted stock oxygen os before on my Oneplus 5T
after flashing Oxygen OS 5.1.4 Full Zip my phone is not rooting it gets in initial oneplus logo and freeze there without loading OS
Phone is working fine after Flashing Oxygen OS 5.1.4 Full Zip without any issue its not booting after flashing either SuperSu or Magisk
Steps which I follow are
1 Flash custom recovery I have tried both Codeworkx TWRP | Blu_Spark
2 after flashing recovery boot in to recovery flash Supersu or magisk
3 reboot
when I reboot if i Flash supersu it stuck on oneplus logo, If i flash magisk it reboot itself to fastboot so Os is not loading at all.
I have to flash full Zip again every time to get it working but then I dont have root access.
I have tried at least 10 times with different even old versions of magisk and supersu with out any success.
Is there any particular recovery or different version of magisk or superuse I need to flash?
your help will be really appreciated.
Try a different approach. Instead of installing recovery, just get phone rooted first. There is a way where you can boot into twrp (without installing it), and then flash magisk/supersu zip. If your phone is rooted, then you can install twrp later (or keep oem recovery)
This is how you boot into twrp (or any recovery): fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
Let me know how it goes.
As you said boot to recovery without installing it.
One problem currently I am installing recovery and flashing root. After that phone is not booting up in to OS it stuck on oneplus logo. Then I have to force off phone boot in to recovery and flash full os zip to get it working. I can boot in to TWRP because my os didn't load. Now if I use your method and flash root file and if phone won't boot to os that means I won't be able to boot in to TWRP again to flash full os zip to get phone working atleast without root. Any idea?
Huh, frankly I have no idea why you are facing this menace. I can just give two suggestions.
1. Try with older, more stable versions of TWRP and Magisk
2. Get yourself a custom ROM, most ROM's will work flawlessly after flashing root files
Hope for the best!
I usually switch from OpenBeta to LOS and back again. Here's how I switch back to OpenBeta (steps should work for official OOS):
1) Back everything on internal storage up. This one's important
2) Boot into official OOS recovery
3) Wipe EVERYTHING (this is why you need to follow Step 1)
4) Sideload the version of OOS you want. The instructions will be right there on the recovery screen
5) Boot into Fastboot and flash TWRP
6) Flash Magisk and (optional) Xposed
So, I successfully unlocked the bootloader, then followed the instructions to install TWRP (which worked initially because I was able to access TWRP immediately after flashing). But how to I access it again once I'm back in the OS? When I click reboot to recovery it always reverts back to the stock recovery. I'm still on the stock OS, but I just assumed once TWRP was installed I could boot into it from there. What am I missing?
Solved the problem by getting Magisk installed and using Flashify app to flash the downloaded TWRP img.
@brGabriel just use the fastboot commands as mentioned by manojpawarsj12;
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Don't mess around with Flashify, it's dated and a good way to brick your phone...
