Hi all,
Good news is I get the "how to root" stuff. But one aspect remains a bit unclear.
I did search but I didn't find a clear answer. If I would clean flash a full update (signed flashable zip), do you loose TWRP and root?
If yes, is the only option to reinstall TWRP-recovery and reroot?
kr,
Jeroen
You wouldn't lose TWRP, but root might give you problems depending on what method you used to root.
Best to do a full unroot, flash update, then re-root.

Method would be just flashing Su or Magisk from TWRP. A full unroot is the same as a clean flash I suppose?
Both SuperSU and Magisk have uninstall methods. I think Magisk has an uninstall zip you can flash.

Okay, so I had TWRP installed and no Magisk. I took the OTA through System Update screen...
I lost TWRP and gained stock recovery back. Everything else went fine. So I guess system update wipes TWRP! Oh, well. Easy fix.
Wait for OTA updates this is normal. You need full ROM flashable zips. For the 5 there was a topic in which they got posted. Don't know yet for the 5T. But as you say rerooting is hardly a chore

From the heck of it today I tried uninstalling magisk by flashing the uninstaller in twrp and through magisk manager in system. After both methods my phone wouldn't get past the OnePlus splash screen.
How can you get phone to boot after unrooting and restoring the stock boot image through Magisk?

Hmm, that is interesting. Try taking the OTA zip using the official method (but use TWRP file manager to move it in place).
Or just flash official system image. You can get it from this forum.
Losing TWRP
Help! Trying to install twrp. Able to flash, but after reboot, phone reverts back to original recovery. Also, while in twrp- was not able to do anything... Figure something to do with encryption? In twrp formatted data, then was able to back up... Thought it fixed the problem, but still reverting back to original.
Thanks.
Hey guys n gals
Smashed my s8+ the other day accidentally so picked up a z2 play for something completely different for me, but I am having issues with recovery and then root..
I've unlocked the bootloader that was simple, my problem first starts with doing Twrp, I flash it, boot up, then instantly prompted with the password for decryption. From what I read on the post for installing Twrp that should come after? My data partition vanishes and I think I changed it to ext4 so it worked, phone booted and all was well, so I went to do magisk 16 (I'm running stock 8.0) flash it all is well then when I boot up the phone just boots, shows the unlocked bootloader message, then keeps doing that and sometimes it boots to recovery randomly..
Not sure if I've missed something when doing thel processes but followed the instructions to the letter and I always end up having to reinstall stock and start fresh. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Saome time the Magisk make you a bootloop. try to uninstall it.

This worked great, thanks. Only issue I met was that I couldn't see the OEM unlock switch, so it didn't let me to flash TWRP from Odin (even though it was already unlocked), giving me "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(recovery)" error.
The solution for that was following these steps: https://www.xda-developers.com/fix-...y-s9-samsung-galaxy-s8-samsung-galaxy-note-8/
EDIT: no wait, maybe it's bootlooping.
EDIT2: yes it is. I'm using italian carrier, you?
EDIT3: at the end I created a custom boot.img by using Magisk and I flashed it. In this way I kept encryption and stock recovery, but this doesn't give me write permissions in /system. But I do have root.

Maybe try flashing the twrp flashable firmware after the mod
omg it was so easy!
after you flashed twrp and formated data you just have to flash magisk and that's it

Any advice?
Hi there,
after having tried different methods to root my S9, which has updated to Android 10 One UI 2.0 this morning, maybe the solution that finally worked for me will help you too.
First I tried to root just like in Pie, as found on the net: flashed TWRP 3.2.3 via Odin, then flashed Magisk with TWRP plus this no-verity-opt-encrypt. Got stuck in bootloop, tried different no-verity/dm-verity versions, Magisk 18.x and Magisk 20.1. Nothing worked, got stuck again every time i rebootet the system again.
Then, after realising that I CANT get back to Android 9 (old rom wasnt Odin flashable anymore, phone didnt boot, BSoD), I first downloaded the new stock rom and bootloader as zip, got it from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81615561&postcount=1830.
You have to check if that fits with your version / phone. Once downloaded, I copied both onto my SD card. So now I was able to install at least the new clean stock rom. Oh, and now I used the TWRP version 3.3.1.
Then I found this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/development/root-s9plus-exynos-android10-t4065343
At first I tried to root without the SoLdieR9312's mod, only with MAGISK 20.3 and no-verity. Stuck again, it only bootet to download mode, nothing else. So flashed again the clean stock rom, and after first not keeping the right order (I suppose) I finally followed EXACTLY the instructions 1 - 4 in above manual including SoLdieR9312's mod (I highly recommend first a complete Wipe, format data, and then flash the clean new Rom with Android 10 and bootloader from above link).
Now, to save you the time I spent today: once your phone is bootet (and succesfully rooted via Magisk 20.3, which will happen automatically due to the SoLdieR9312's mod), DONT LET MAGISK UPDATE TO VERSION 20.4!!!! Magisk Manager asks you to update, but when I did update to 20.4, everything fell apart again, it only bootet to download mode.
Now I seem to have it stable and running with 20.3 and the [email protected]. I rebootet 5 times so far just for the sake of it, and it works fine and rootet.
If I can be of further help, please let me know. I spent the last 12 hours on this matter, so dont hesitate.
Greetz from me minus a bunch of nerves
PS: After I wrote the above, I deleted the Knox family in the rootet system, and then it collapsed again and, after BSoD, it only rebootet into download mode. I can not exclude the possibility, that this might have been the reason for some system breakdowns before, as I had to re-do the wipe-clean-install-then-root-then-customize worksteps aroung 8 times yesterday before it was stable as it is now. Now I´ll leave Knox on it, though that itches me a bit. But I´m exhausted for now
PPS: IMPORTANT when I try to create a PIN or a pattern for the lock screen, phone reboots to SIM card PIN screen and then keeps rebooting and rebooting. It looks like there are some interferences with root and PIN / security. I did NOT create a Samsung account, only a google one, cause in the beginning i suspected it might have been a Sam acct problem (I constantly couldnt log into it on the phone). Turns out that might not have been the case, rather a prob between root and setting a lock screen security.
Hi guys, I rooted my redmi note 8 yesterday. Everything went well except two things: on boot the error message said that "there is an internal problem" and the phone reboots/shuts down itself.
Any thoughts?

If you still want to root it again,after flasing new rom go to twero and then go to wipe then format,you should format your phone after rom flashing,try this and inform me
Yes yes! I want to root phone once again. So the steps are these:
1) booting into twrp with adb from pc.
2) from the twrp menu wiping and formating the data
3) instaling new rom
Is this true?
Thanks!
If you want to root you don't have to install another custom rom unless you don't like the stock rom. If you like your current stock rom, then flash twrp in fastboot and download the latest magisk stable zip and also diasble dm-verity zip. Using twrp first flash disable dm-verity zip and then magisk zip, wipe dalvik cache and reboot to system, hopefully you would have root permission.

From your stock rom extract the boot.img and place it on your SD card. Flash the boot image using twrp or you can also flash in fastboot, then reboot. Now boot to twrp recovery and flash dm-verity first and then magisk zip. Worked for me I'm having root permission with stock rom.

I think it may be because of YouTube vanced module. If you remove the module you might be able to boot. In twrp in the advanced option select file manager and then select data/adb/magisk/ in that you will find the list of installed modules, select the one which is causing the problem and delete that folder and try to reboot.

that thread is for redmi note 5 pro..and flashing different kernel probably won't solve it because I know few guys flashed genom kernel but still ended up with reboot in huaxing display. Maybe waiting for fix is better.
I'll have my new OP7T by Friday, coming from OP5T. I've been reading through some of the threads. Is it correct that TWRP doesn't survive a reboot? Or is that old news?
That might be fine for me. I don't flash roms nearly as much as I used to and I think stock rooted is the way I'll go from now on.
So if I unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and root... can I then receive Ota updates?
That'd be pretty awesome.
***Also I'm tempted to flash a custom rom despite what I said . So if anyone knows of a stable one that performs well as a daily driver, please respond. Thanks

Hi! If you BOOT twrp it will not survive a reboot, if you FLASH twrp it will still there till you reflash stock recovery or rom update. You can't receive OTA "upgrade" package with root, only full rom, maybe through oxygen updater.
And last, i've flashed Resurrection Remix this saturday, and it's amazing. Battery performance like stock oos (about 5/5:30h sot against the 4h sot of my previous op6), 90hz display and infinity customization to choose from. You're not going wrong if you try RR, trust me. RR on my "old" oneplus 6 was not like this. Here there's no bug at all and you can customize everything. Only thing that i miss is Dolby Atmos (it's still there but you can't personalize sound effect WIP in next release) and per-app lock with FP (not really a great miss).
I hope to be proved helpful

Thanks for the explanation!
Sorry I'm still unclear on TWRP. I remember years ago I had a device that would not allow TWRP to stick. If you needed to flash a rom or make changes to system, you'd hook it up to your computer and use adb to boot TWRP one time.
But that was because twrp wouldn't stick. Why would you boot TWRP if you are able to make it permanent by flashing it?
I'm sure there's a simple explanation but I can't think of it...
Ideally I think I'd keep the stock recovery with root, then remove root for an update and root again. But pretty sure the only way to root is to have TWRP installed.
Thanks again for the info!

With oos I was usually boot with twrp only for flashing magisk, in that case i don't really need it beside for flashing root. With RR I keep twrp flashed only "to have it" not really useful. I understand what you said, with old partition system root gone away without twrp because recovery.img was inside boot.img (magisk destination partition, and for decryption things) but with Android 10 these partitions are separated again, like old times.

I think I'm following you. So if I want to remain stock but rooted, I would just boot twrp, root it, then repeat that if I want to take a stock update?
To simplify, I guess, is it possible to run a rooted stock with a stock recovery?
Sorry. I've been tinkering with my phones less and less, and some things have changed in that time.
Take the update, DO NOT REBOOT YET! Then install Magisk from the Magisk manager. When it says to select method, choose to "Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)" , then reboot.
No TWRP needed after an update to install root.

Yes it's possible to run rooted stock without twrp, I was like that before flashing RR
If you want to root still after ota don't reboot when it had finished to install, instead go to magisk and choose "install on inactive slot after ota" then reboot.. But with this process I highly suggest you to disable and uninstall all module first, because sometimes, when you reboot you got problems if you don't remove modules, and for "problems" I mean like instant reboot after phone boot up, forcing you to uninstall magisk via recovery or reflashing stock boot.img
Btw, twrp is useful on custom because if you go in boot loop you can access your internal storage through it and eventually make a backup of all your files

Thanks. I used to change roms constantly a few years back. Now my phone has become something I can't get by without, for even a matter of hours on some days. So as much as I love trying things out, I just want a stable driver with little fuss. But I don't think I can go without root. I haven't since 2013.
OOS was good enough for me, though I heard theyre becoming more bloated and I hate the gestures in Android 10. It's those little things that I want to be able to change.
Do you use the modified magisk boot image to root?

Yes I'm just like you, I use my phone constantly for work, I can't accept a rom with FC and other bugs.. I need that things working properly and RR it's exceptional.
Yes I was using modified boot.img for rooting OOS, selfmade with guide in the thread because my phone is the BA version (europe) and everytime no one post boot.img ready for this. But it's not really complicated to DIY
