Is there a step by step procedure for installing twrp and blisspop on my e980? presently running the 20i firmware. Tried Flashify but it fails to install twrp. This phone has root but is carrier unlocked but has never been flashed so I am stumped. Any help appreciated
I had this same issue but with installing a recovery in the first place due to the locked bootloader and I couldn't find fixes.
But some info would be useful
1. What firmware are you on ex : Kitkat 4.4.2 etc - this can be checked in about phone option.
I used GPro recovery then flashed twrp via that using the unofficial cwm it installed file for the recovery at the bottom of this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-pro/general/root-bootloader-unlock-t3203573
Steps that may work
1. Enabled unknown sources in security
2. Installed the GPro apk file
3. Hit flash kitkat recovery for g pro
4. Moved the recovery.IMG file for twrp to /sdcard
5. Booted into recovery using the app
6. Flash the recovery.IMG file
What might work (worked for me)
1. Installed cwm using the above method steps 1-3
2. Get latest twrp.IMG (recovery.IMG)
3. Go into flashify
4. Hit flash recovery image
5. Hit choose a file and use your preferred file browser to navigate to your file
6. Hit flash now.
7. Reboot to recovery or normal reboot.
You can mix these two methods and try them differently as for blisspop
1.Get the .zip file
2.Boot into your recovery
3. Wipe System,cache,dalvik cache, and data.
4. Flash the .zip file.
5. Hit reboot to system
WARNING make a backup and check if the .zip is corrupted before booting into recovery
You can also Google methods for installing ROMs.
Hope I helped.

What about 'CWM Recovery' ?
If one succeeds with this TWRP and rooting, then I think one can change TWRP to CWM using flashify or Rashr, provided he/she should confirm that the 'CWM Recovery' will work on Lenovo A 7000 a with android 6.0 OS. But I do not know if the 'CWM' recovery thatwas used earlier when we were on android 5.0, will still work with android 6.0 or not. Can anybody confirm?
this is working men thanks:angel:

Use the stock rom found here to go back to factory settings using the stock marshmallow rom. Make sure that you flash using SP Flash Tool as instructed in the link. This will replace TWRP with stock recovery.
Afterwards, you can reinstall TWRP and root,etc.

I think you have copied the SuperSU-v71.zip in external storage and in TWRP you are searching in internal storage.If it is so the paste it in internal or change storage selection at the time of installing zip.
And paste the zip in root of the storage not in any folder.
As i can see this is your 1st post.
I think this will help you.
Mounting issue with TWRP
After switching sdcard as internal storage. The file manager only shows the ext. Sdcard so from where we can access the internal Sdcard to put that Supersu.zip.And the TWRP only mount only internal Sdcard. Not able to mount ext. Sdcard plz. Help!
Hey can i flash this supersu.zip via twrp 3.02-1?
Couple hours ago i flashed supersu.zip from lenovo a7000 indonesia group, and all i got was bootloop. Is it possible that with this supersu i could get another bootloop? Thanks
Hi there,
I'm trying to install TWRP onto my Xiaomi mi6 in order to keep backups and flash custom ROMs.
Last night I tried to install TWRP via ADB. I flashed the .img file, and was careful to hold down the 'volume up' button as I hit the command 'fastboot reboot' to ensure I didn't boot into stock recovery.
This brought me into the TWRP recovery. I selected READ-WRITE option (as opposed to read only) and tried rebooting to system. After this I tried rebooting into recovery to access TWRP once again, but was brought back to the stock recovery. TWRP couldn't be accessed.
I tried to reflash TWRP and to follow the suggestion posted here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-6/development/recovery-twrp-xiaomi-mi-6-t3619822
The file: /system/bin/install-recovery.sh present in stock system is responsible for that.
You can simply stop this from happening by deleting it or renaming it to install-recovery.sh.bak using any root explorer or via TWRP (Advanced -> File Manager).
Click to expand...

However, I could not find the file /system/bin/install-recovery.sh using the TWRP file explorer.
Any suggestions you could offer would be much appreciated.
My current miui version is: global 8.2.2.0 (NCAMIEC) and the phone has not been rooted (bootloader is unlocked).

After the twrp recovery installation is installed in the twrp recovery you install the " no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip" .
This will keep the twrp recovery,after restarting the system.

But now I have a problem. My phone tried to install OTA update and boot into Recovery to complete instalation. But because it's a TWRP the update can't be installed.
Now the phone only boot into TWRP. Can't start the system. Even on TWRP menu -> Reboot -> System then the phone boot again into TWRP. How to fix it?

You need kill the repeating OTA install sequence or, like you reporting, every time you boot into system, OTA installation get triggered and you get caught in the cycle. In TWRP menu, Mount System, go back main menu find your TWRP File Manager. Select System folder, Priv-App, find your OTA app (may be name 3C_OTA or something similar). Go ahead delete it if you don't plan on installing OTA on your device. You can also delete the OTA update zip package to stop your OS from continual trying to install it. In TWRP you need mount Cache, use TWRP File Manager again to open Cache directory, search for the OTA zip package and delete it.

Can u reupload decrypt.zip?
Working recovery R9.0-3 on xt1920-16
i got this error C:\Users\GPS\Downloads\OrangeFox-R9.0-3-pettyl.zip: Unexpected end of archive. Using 7zip i extracted recovery.img and copied to external sd card and also to platform-tools folder. In fastboot i used "fastboot boot recovery.img" command , my phone booted to Orange recovery and there i used "Install Image" to flash recovery. If i try to flash downloaded zip file gives me an error Now i have working recovery and root (magisk 18.1) on E5 Play :victory:!
anyone still have pettyl-decrypt.zip? if so can you please upload it somewhere
Do someone have the pettyl-decrypt.zip?
I would be very thankfull, if you could help me with my problem.
After unlocking my bootloader successfully, I re-enabled USB Debugging in MIUI and booted into fastboot mode.
From there I booted the latest "twrp-3.7.0_12-0-munch.img"
1. Which is the correct way to install TWRP permanently (or after an TWRP update)?
https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomipocof4.html
"Flash Current TWRP" or "Install Recovery Ramdisk"?
[Edit] Flash Current TWRP
To remove encryption it is necesarry to "Format Data" before? or after? ROM flash. When I do that, all TWRP settings are gone (language, vibration off, 24h clock). Are these settings not stored permanent?
[Edit] after flashing rom.zip
2. When I want to flash ROM + GApps, do I need to reboot the recovery for switching partitions?
I flashed "Spark-13.1-Official-munch-20221025.zip" and "NikGapps-core-arm64-13-20220908-signed.zip". I can boot SparkOS, but there are no Gapps installed. The flashing process was skipped.
Thank's for your help!

I can boot to fastboot, recovery and system. Please tell me right steps to flash/wipe/format without errors.
I added some TWRP logs.

1. after fastbooting TWRP use Flash Current TWRP. No format data.
2. SparkOS needs global firmware to be flashed first, then reboot to recovery, then flash ROM, then format data.
There is a version with Gapps already included, working fine.
@UniNick
1. Flash Current TWRP is the prefered Installation Method from official site. Do I need to reflash TWRP after each ROM flash to survive? When formating data after ROM flash, the TWRP setting are also deleted (no more TWRP folder in internal storage).
2. My Poco F4 was shipped with MIUI Global 13.0.3.0 (SLMEUXM). So I downloaded and flashed Europe V13.0.7.0.SLMEUXM from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/munch/
Baseband version is now higher.
I know there is a Gapps Version of SparkOS, but I don't know which Google apps are included and I just need a minimum of the package. Therefore I asked how to flash Gapps after ROM.zip, that both are on the same A/B partition.
I already had to reset/flash the "V13.0.5.0.SLMMIXM_20220815.0000.00_12.0_global" with MI Flash tool, because I had no access to Internal Storage with my PC to copy files on Poco F4.

1. yes because most ROMs now bring their own recovery
2. Spark includes like a basic Gapps package

I will try it again tomorrow. Thanks!
After a lot of research I still have some questions. Many users have trouble understanding it when the installation instructions do not list all the steps.
I have read these flashing instruction on the XDA NikGApps page:
Flashing Instructions for A/B devices (Clean Flash is recommended)
Flash Rom in Slot A, Flash twrp, reboot to recovery
Flash Rom in Slot B, Flash twrp, reboot to recovery
Flash NikGapps
Flash Debloater (Optional)
Reboot
So I thought, that this would be the steps:
### First Install / Clean Flash ###
- fastboot boot TWRP image
- in TWRP select "Flash Current TWRP" under "Advanced"
- flash firmware
- reboot recovery (is this reboot necessary before flashing ROM ??)
- wipe > factory reset (recommended or not ??)
- flash ROM (current Slot A > flashing to inactive slot B)
- flash twrp.img in boot partition + (check the box "Flash to both slots" ??)
- go to "Reboot" and change slot
- flash ROM (current Slot B > flashing to inactive slot A)
- flash twrp.img in boot partition + (check the box "Flash to both slots" ??)
???
(optional for GApps)
- flash GApps
Error: Could not mount /system
- format data
- flash twrp.img (again necessary ??) + (check the box "Flash to both slots" ??)
- boot to system + install Magisk.apk
- in Magisk: patch boot.img
- reboot recovery
- flash magisk_patched.img in boot partition + (check the box "Flash to both slots" ??)
- reboot to system

Little bit complex.
Try this guide:
Reboot to recovery (twrp or ofox), I prefer boot recovery by fastboot, command is `fastboot boot rec.img` (You can download from orangefox official website)
Flash firmware (Optional)
Flash rom
Flash gapps (if flashed vanilla build)
Format data
Reboot to system

I'm not sure if GApps will be installed in the same slot if I flash it directly after the ROM.zip.
I have to reflash TWRP/OrangeFox before formating data and booting to system or it will be lost when I boot back to recovery.
When updating the ROM, the recovery is flashing it to inactive slot. Do I need to click through the (google) setup again, or is this data stored in another partition? When do I need to reflash GApps?
flash ROM.zip
wipe cache + dalvik
reflash recovery
reflash magisk_patched
reboot system

About GApps maybe this is the right way ...
flash ROM
flash recovery itself( w/ orangefox there is a checkbox)
reboot to recovery
flash gapps
Please bear with me, as this is my first A/B device and I'm quite confused about the flashing procedure.
I successfully unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP.
I tried to install A13 SparkOS vanilla + Basic NikGapps. Like @11insomnium said in the 1st post, ROM was installed fine, but Gapps package was not. I tried what @psklf says, no good... Each time I try to flash the Gapps package I get a message that /system size is 0KB, and of course the setup process is skipped due to lack of space...
On a side note, when flashing the ROM, step 1/2 completes fine, but on step 2/2 I get some errors about failing to access /system, /system_product, /vendor etc... However, as I said, ROM boots fine afterwards...
Am I missing something? Or is flashing the integrated Gapps ROM version the way to go?
@11insomnium did you manage to sort this out?
@hammerheadache I'm still using the GApps version 20221113, but recently I updated my device to latest OFox recovery (R11.1_2_A12) and A13 firmware (V14.0.2.0.TLMEUXM). The result was that my fingerprints were deleted and I could't save new ones, so I reflashed the old version (V13.0.7.0.SLMEUXM).
I think you missed the reboot to recovery. This should work for you:
- flash ROM
- flash recovery
- reboot to recovery
- flash NikGapps
- reboot to system
Edit: Maybe this will also help you:
https://wiki.orangefox.tech/en/guides/flashing
I haven't completely understood it yet either

I have read in EROFS ROMs like Spark or PE it's problematic to flash GApps or microG as the system is read-only. Also applies to some Magisk modules as well.

Thanks for the info. That explains why there are ROM versions with GApps included.
