Hello, I just unlocked my bootloader and want to check out Havoc OS.
I downloaded latest TWRP and Havoc OS and followed the [All-in-one] guide here. Everything worked fine but, after I bootloader into TWRP for the first time the storage is encrypted and I can't see the internal storage. If I reboot, I am losing TWRP and stock recovery is showing up.
I can't flash from sdcard as it gives either error 1 or error 7. How can I permanently flash TWRP and Havoc? I don't mind a factory reset.

I haven't had any software update for about 1.5 months. I was on Resurrect Remix ROM Nougat, firmware 3.2.6, and on TWRP 3.0.1 (or 3.0.0 I'm not too sure). Today I tried updating. Things went wrong. Here are my steps:
1. Wiped everything except internal storage.
2. Updated recovery to twrp-3.0.2-1.28 within recovery itself. Used the file given on the ROM thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/rom-resurrection-remix-m-t3399960?nocache=1.
3. TWRP couldn't decrypt my phone even with the right password.
4. Downgraded TWRP back to 3.0.1. Decryption worked.
5. Updated firmware & modem to version 4 within recovery. Used the files given on the same ROM thread.
6. Updated recovery again to twrp-3.0.2-1.28, this time via fastboot.
7. TWRP couldn't decrypt. Tried trwp 3.0.3 from the official twrp site as well. Same problem.
8. Downgraded TWRP back to 3.0.1. Recovery didn't even start. Phone freezes.
I have two questions. What is causing this problem? And second, any way I can use fastboot to downgrade firmware 3.2.6, so that I can at least access my internal storage and back it up. I got loads of data in there.

Hi I made that too with this rom! (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/rom-resurrection-remix-5-8-0-oms-t3527344) I think it is that 3.0.3 TWRP that did it! I hawe to wipe everything but i got it working! with these instruction https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-3.452634/ Method 2 worked for me but it wipes all! there seemed to be instructions for not loosing all but i cant test it

I have found a solution. Even without decrypting /data, you can still get into recovery (except you can't read your data partition). This is key. What I did is simply use recovery sideload to flash the old 3.2.6 firmware (apparently flashing works even without decryption), use fastboot to flash twrp 3.0.1, and backup all my data to the computer via mtp. Then I completely wiped everything, flashed the new firmware and recovery, and decryption worked.

recently wanted to update my rom (Resurrection Remix-N). When I boot into TWRP, I get an error 7. I was also having issue with titanium backup (keeps crashing) so I was thinking it was the ROM since I haven't updated in a while. Since I couldn't update with TWRP and error 7, I decided to switch ROM.
I did a nand backup, then proceeded to factory reset in TWRP, reboot recovery (habit of mine).
And now I was stuck with at TWRP decrypt Data because my previous pattern is not working. Gives me a "pattern failed, please try again!")
My question, is there a way to at least get my data off the device (backup to laptop and restore later)?
I can boot into fastboot. but I can't see device storage on laptop.

A method thats worked for me in the past is to use fastboot to re-install TWRP. Use TWRP 3.0.4-1 and reboot your phone to recovery.. You'll be im MTP mode so you can transfer files onto your phone for flashing.. If you get code7 in TWRP, use a different FIRMWARE+Modem version.. If you want the latest RR use 4.0.3.. Your data should be safe..

I have already tried that unfortunately, it didn't work. Flash twrp-3.0.4-1-oneplus3 but I am still asked to decrypt data. My internal storage show as 0MB I also have MTP enabled but still not showing on laptop. It shows device connect but no storage.

I had that once when i messed about with f2fs.. Only way i found was to flash stock ROM and recovery, reboot and fastboot TWRP again.. Now my laptop could see my phone and i could start from scratch again.. I'm sure there is a better way but this worked for me.. Sorry i cant be of more help
Flash all 670 img's till one works :laugh:
I think error 7 is related to firmware flash 4.0.3 and then your rom of choice should be fine

You were lucky. I flashed stock recovery so I can flash stock rom but still no luck. I miss samsung odin.
Thanks anyways for ur contribution.
Down graded to Oneplus 2 until I fix my phone.
I unlocked the bootloader following Motorolas steps. I then flashed the latest version of TWRP avaiable on the development forum and then flashed Lineage OS + the root zip they provide and gapps. I couldn't figure out how to get out of the bootloop so I've since gone back to stock. Any idea what I was missing?
TWRP:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...recovery-unofficial-twrp-moto-z-play-t3495629
Lineage:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-14-1-t3495644
Did you read the notices and entries on the Linage last pages of the thread that people are having it fail on the install, the latest release? That would be a clue...
I even tried flashing Pure Nexus but that too was stuck on a loop. I left it for about 10 minutes as it was loading. :/
I did the same thing like you on my first attempt, on my second I was able to install Lineage OS successfully. I'll provide the steps I did.
First attempt steps:
1. Unlocking the bootloader using Motorola website
2. Installing TWRP from the same link in your post.
At that point I tried booting the phone, but the phone was booting to TWRP only, tried wiping, format data from TWRP with no luck.
3. From TWRP flashed Lineage OS zip file and GAPPS nano package (the latest version of TWRP is able to see SD card).
At that point I was able to to boot LOS only after executing "fastboot erase user data". Doing the same from within TWRP was not doing the job. The problem was that after each reboot the phone was getting into bootloop again and "fastboot erase userdata" was necessary.
4. At that point I noticed that TWRP thread starts with warning that you have to install a patcher to disable this "verity" feature of the bootloader may be. And I installed the patcher "Verity_FE_patcher.zip"
The patcher didn't fix the issue and went back to stock Nougat using the guide below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/how-to/moto-z-play-reteu-firmware-otas-t3557917
First I tried "flashall.bat" , but it didn't wor.k and I flashed all the files manually using the guide . The phone booted normally and I updated it with one OTA update.
Second attempt steps:
1. I wanted to install the verity patcher before anything else and I boot TWRP 3.1.0.1 without flashing it. It booted normally and I realized that the SD card was formated and the patcher zip file is not there. I reboot the system and the phone got in bootloops again even the TWRP was not installed. I coppied the patcher zip, LOS zip, GAPPS zip on SD card . I tried to boot (without flashing) TWRP again, but for some reason TWRP was not able to boot.
2. I flashed TWRP
3. Booted TWRP and flashed verity patcher.
4. Wiped from TWRP and boot the system
At that point I was able to boot the stock firmware with TWRP installed and I was able to restart the phone normally.
5. Flashed LOS and nano GAPPS
Now everything seems to work properly.
Hope this will help.
Thanks. I'll give this a shot tonight. Our first attempts sound very alike.
I was attempting to install TWRP on my Mi A2 Lite running Android One 9.0, so I can root it with magisk. I unlocked the bootloader, followed twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomimia2lite.html (I can't post links, since I'm a new user), but when I tried to boot recovery mode after the TWRP install, it said the system was damaged (android one still booted fine,
it was just the recovery). I thought maybe it was because I couldn't decrypt data because of the password lock on TWRP. So I booted TWRP through fastboot again and wiped the system, then retried installing TWRP. It once again claimed to have successfully installed, and I stupidly tried installing Magisk right after. After that point, OS would no longer boot. I tried getdroidtips.com/v10-0-1-0-pdlmifj-pie-mi-a2-lite/ , but the install failed on an error. I'm going to just assume I erased the OS, how can I restore it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Edit:
I'm dumb, I just used the flash tool....
Just download the latest firmware from the following URL and flash it with Miflash.

You don't need TWRP to root this phone. I would suggest you to check out this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-install-magisk-proper-support-ota-t3836952
Just forget about our TWRP, it's kinda buggy.
Hi,
I was on Havoc 2.9. I used the Network Signal Guru app and am now stuck in a bootloop.
I tried wiping everything and flashing the rom again, still cant boot.
I even tried installing the latest firmware and then installing Havoc 3.2 (a different rom)
I also upgraded my recovery to OrangeFox 10.3.
I can enter recovery, fastboot, transfer files to and from my PC but cant boot.
What are my options ? Flashing the factory rom via MiFlash ?
I'd like to avoid wiping internal storage if possible.
Any help is appreciated!
Maybe you have triggered dm-verity.
Try to flash a dm-verity disabler to bypass the boot verify.
You can choose Magisk. If you don't want to root your phone, try the lazyflasher.
I always to be on safe side have a dm-verity and forced encryption disabler on my sd card.
