Does TWRP work on android 7.0?

If I upgrade to 7.0 on my nexus 5x, will i be able to install twrp as i normally would through fastboot?

You need to decrypt the phone for it to work.

Hmm anyone got the 7.0 recovery? I installed it thinking it would work but I want to keep the system encrypted. Does the stock 7.0 recovery mount system? I want to mod my build.prop dpi.

I just tried 3.0.2-1, and it worked. Before that, 3.0.2-0 also got stuck at the splash screen. However, I wasn't able to root. I tried installing SU via TWRP, but it didn't successfully root.

I had no issues obtaining root with the new twrp on an encrypted phone.

Am I the only one who encounters the flasing of recovery not sticking? After system reboot, then going back to recovery, it reverts to stock.

Flash twrp, while still in bootloader volume down to reboot bootloader, hit the power button, volume down to reboot recovery, hit the power button. Twrp should stick now.

If you decrypt it first by flashing the modified boot.img, and then flash recovery and reboot it should stick and work right? Can you kindly describe your steps?

In my case I updated mine from DP5. I had my DP5 decrypted and rooted and update it using the flashfire app to flash the ota. I don't think any of the existing modified boot.img will work on the final release yet idk mate.

-1 installs, but two issues if you're encrypted:
1) TWRP doesn't stick. After a restart, you won't be able to get back into TWRP and need to reflash it.
2) Installing SU via TWRP doesn't work. It runs into an error if you read the responses during the flash in TWRP.
We'll just have to be patient until the devs do their magic on the encrypted version.

If you root using phh's superuser and magisk, TWRP will stick. His solution also allows you to use Android Pay with root, albeit with a little hoop-jumping

I had the twrp not sticking issue in the past. What has worked is to boot twrp, not flash it, then flash SU. Then boot back into the bootloader and flash twrp.

Can you give a try to nodded twrp and one more thing mount system before flashing any ROM.
Note: after decrypting if you want too boot into OOS you need to Flash SuperSU or otherwise the OOS will force encryption and that may create problem.

okay now after few trial and error method i have come to the conclusion that this happens only after unencrypting the device. after eunencrypting it wont boot any other roms except those which have been already backed up.
So,
can i flash roms on encrypted device? I mean i test a lot of roms and i change frequently.
I guess no, right?

Yes try with encryption as the ROMs doesn't require decrypting the device. Decrypted device is only required if you want to use multirom.
Good Luck.

You need modified TWRP 3.0.2-28 to get TWRP working with Beta 8. I had the same issue witrh my installation.

Also you need to make sure to remove your lock screen, then you will be able to use TWRP

What is your action, just run "Force Decryption Device" by using Toolkit v.3.6
and what recovery are you using ?

I'm using latest modified TWRP 3.0.2-28 + OOS Beta 8. I have a protected lockscreen (fingerprint / pin) and pin is needed to start the device.
I flashed TWRP, wiped everything and changed "DATA" filesystem to "F2FS" and flashed the rom (clean installation)
I have full acces when using TWRP.
No need to force decryption or anything...

It doesn't work though, if you installed dirty and just upgraded from MM. TWRP keeps asking for password and doesn't accept it, even if I change to password (else using PIN) in the system.

I came from OOS 3.2.8 running already with F2FS and did a dirty flash to the Nougat Beta.
All with the -1.28 TWRP and have no issues going into TWRP and it accepts my pin.

This is the way I went, just yet being on ext4. Could it be a difference, if you flash or if you just boot TWRP? I'm only booting instead of flashing, so I retain my recovery, as I didn't see the new Oxygen recovery for OOS4 in the wild yet.

You probably need an older version for ext4. The last one working on ext4 when I did the switch to f2fs was -1.25 if I remember correctly.
After the switch to f2fs I had to flash 1.28 or the recovery wouldn't accept my pin anymore.

try to force decryption and then re-flash it again. It's easiest if you use the OnePlus toolkit available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/toolkit-oneplus-3-toolkit-unlock-t3398799
I was having the same issue after going back to official OOS and wanting to switch over to my current rom which gave me issues since I didn't have modified TWRP.

Yes it will. The toolkit will allow you to perform a full backup that you can restore later.
You can try flashing twrp from the toolkit, to see if it works. In my experience it didn't work until I forced decryption.

Try:
1. Fastboot erase recovery
2. Fastboot flash recovery "TWRP"

Damn, this helped me out as well.

I think you are using the community build?

Back to stock OxygenOS (OP3)

I found 2 versions of the instruction about going back from custom ROM to stock OxygenOS. First one tells about ADB commands which results with full stock, with standard recovery, unrooted system and locked phone. The second one is shorter, it's just flashing official zip with TWRP.
So my question is: Am I "losing something" after going with the second option, I mean TWRP-way? As I understand the only difference is that I'll keep TWRP itself and my phone will still be unlocked, when everything else will be ok (official camera firmware, kernel, etc.).
Thank you in advance for the answer if I'm wrong

The official zips in most cases also erase your twrp recovery and you will end up with the stock recovery and unlocked bootloader

I'm also thinking about going back to Oxygenos. But haven't done it. Looking for answers for you question.
Besides, could you please give me the link for the first method? Thanks

It's like flashing any other Rom? You clean flash by wiping everything (except Internal) and flash the OxygenOS you want (plus SuperUser).

Heres what you gonna do
Download oos full zip
Flash it on twrp then after that dont do a reboot just flash twrp as recovery then reboot to recovery and then reboot to system
If you wanna lock the bootloader and stay fully stock ( this will wipe your whole phone so backup )
Then flash oos full zip through twrp then reboot to bootloader
Then sideload oos recovery
Then go back to bootloader and relock bootloader thats it

I clean flashed the full zip. When I try to boot to bootloader, it didn't enter bootloader mode. The system boots, and it's been showing boot animation for more than ten minutes. I'll wait patiently.
BTW, how do you flash twrp while you are in twrp?

Force shutdown the device and entered fastboot, flashed twrp recovery. And now twrp asks me to input password to decrypt data. I have no idea about what the password is. I also got dm-verity error after flashing the full zip. Help needed.

I did a factory reset in twrp, and the system boots well. But unfortunately I lost all my data. Factory reset also formats internal storage?
I have all my photos backed up in google photos. The only loss is the image quality is not original. Anyway it's not end of the world.
