Questions about upgrading 5T from 5.1.1 to 5.1.3

Hey. I have a rooted with TWRP installed OnePlus 5T on OOS v5.1.1
I've been receiving the 5.1.3 upgrade for a while now and have decided to update. Can i dirty flash the package or do i need to wipe system and data? I'm guessing the root will not be retained and i will have to root again but will the TWRP recovery stay intact? Thanks for your answers

I guess you would be able dirty flash.
You have to flash the twrp and magisk root again. If you are going to flash latest Open Beta 11, you have to flash Beta 10 before to retain data.

I have switched from 5.1.3 to beta11 like;
1- download the rom you want to install from oneplus site.
2- also download the stock recovery image from oneplus site.
3- put both files into the phone.
4- flash the stock recovery you downloaded.
5- boot into stock recovery and install the downloaded rom without wiping or formating anything.
6- enjoy your new rom with all your apps and data.
After the above steps you can install custom recovery and magisk again.
I also highly recommend to take a full backup of your phone .

Why was stock recovery flashed? Can the Rom not be installed using TWRP?

Well, i always got an error with twrp. No OS installed or something like that. Tried also a dirty flash with twrp and phone was not able to boot. So i found the way with stock recovery.

Rom can be flashed with Blu Spark treble TWRP V8.78not normal TWRP. And after you flash reboot to recovery then flash magisk 15.3 and no verity V2 or version 3 if your not encrypted either work, I used V2 just fine.
If you try to flash magisk right after rom it will probably give you an error. Reboot only to recovery BEFORE letting the rom boot or you loose recovery, then magisk will flash, 15.3 is the least grievous version after a successful boot upgrading to 16.4 is easy.
16.6 has been giving people grief also.

Do i need to format data from twrp before flashing magisk in miui ?

I'm on 9.5.13 stable and i'm waiting for unlocking my bootloader, i heared that miui by default encrypt the phone, and after flashing magisk to get root, it will not boot unless i do format data from twrp to decrypt it, it that true or i'm missing something ?
I'm just want to get root on current build 9.5.13 to get some mods and enable camera2api without loosing all stock camera features.
Thanks in advance

Not true!
What your confusing things with, is when you flash TWRP, you need to flash lazyflasher to allow the device to boot. Or use a TWRP that includes a script to do so.
You can run the device encrypted if you want, but formatting data will let it run decrypted if magisk is flashed before booting rom.
Unlocking your bootloader will wipe data, so backup beforehand!

Now my mobile works fine in miui 10 . But I couldn't root it. I need to flash resurrection remix ROM .
Please help me

@sathishob you don't need root to flash a custom rom. Check the rom thread you want to flash for instructions and further assistance.

@corkiejpThank you for the support corkiejp... Successfully i flashed a custom ROM (Resurrection remix 7 ) but I couldn't use the banking apps and camera doesn't open . I tried to solve it without root. But I couldn't . So I installed magisik now everything works fine . ( I couldn't install magisik easily. It took several times to success. Most probably it says error 1 . Installed magisik uninstall then every thing went smoothly.)
Installing Aosp extended ROM I fixed camera issue and by flashing magisik banking apps are working
Thanks a lot for your valuable reply...

Hello guys
I had unlocked my whyred and flashed twrp recovery by fastboot. First time it went smoothly . after reboot phone went to stock mi recovery . I searched and found that to resolve this i have to install lazyflasher zip file . so i tried to flash that file through twrp. I could nt flash that file because it showed some error message . some how i tried two or more times to flash it with some other lazyflasher files . It did nothing . Then i installed twrp image file from twrp recovery suddenly issue was solved . properly phone booted on twrp recovery .
Then i tried to flash magisik but i couldnt flash it because it says error 1 as a reason . I tried some more ways to flash it but i can't find any solution . from the help of corkiejp i flashed the resurrection remix 7 successfully without flashing magisik. But my camera was not worked and banking apps are not worked .
So i flashed the aosp extended pie rom and the camera worked fine . but i could nt use banking apps. I searched for a way and landed on flashing magisik manager . again the error 1 prevented me to flash magisik . I flashed magisik uninstall zip and everything went smoothly.
Now my phone was properly rooted and working fine.
But my question is if until now i could nt flash lazy flashers prooerlybon my phone . is this make any harm to my phone ? Please help me
Thanks in advance ...

Trying to install magisk!!!

Hello everyone,
I have been trying to install magisk for the past 6 hours so that I can install gcam!! I have tried so many combinations but still fail in bootloop. I am on miui china MIUI 10.2.20 PEDCNXM. Can someone please post a step by step tutorial for installing magisk? I can install TWRP just fine, the one from nijel8. But i really at my limit for this one, can someone please help?? I really need GCAM.

Anybody??

Mount all possible partitions in TWRP, then install magisk 17.1. start the phone.
It is possible that you will have to install magisk manager manually from the phone.

Custom Rom Flashing Error: to flash additional zips please reboot recovery to switch.

So I want to root my Xiaomi mi a2 lite, because of it I want to install custom rom, but there is one problem:
while going in twrp recovery (using adb booting command) it gets error : 1; it says : "to flash additional zips please reboot recovery to switch to the update slot"
however, it only happens when I want to flash custom rom (tried 3 different roms), when trying to flash a custom recovery or ForcedEncryptionDisablerDaisy it flashes successfully.
any solutions?
some information :
it's my 3rd time flashing the custom rom on this device:
1) the first one was using the "classic method" (with twrp recovery)
2) the second one was when I got stuck in the bootloader and used XiaoMiFlash application for flashing.

i face the same problem

I have oneplus 7 and have the same issue

same problem here im wasting so much time triying to figure out how to repait the partitions or something, because somehow I had a partition B and now doesnt exist lol.

Hey, mates!
Anyone able to solve this?
I flashed TWRP and Magisk successfully, but every time I try to flash a custom rom it gives me the message "to flash additional zips, please reboot recovery to switch to the updated slot".
I'm on a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite, btw.
Thanks in advance for any help!

ATTENTION!
I found a solution to the problem, all you need is just to install another recovery, I installed Orange FOX. And you know what? Everything worked. So just install via SD card Orange FOX and be happy!
Thank you, your Yasude!
My phone: XIAOMI Redmi note 10

OF does slot switching automatically? I managed once boot and install OF, wipe, flash SYberia, change slot, anti encryption and magisk, reboot to system. Unfortunately never work with lineage. But OF has options disable encryption and some measures against (i dont like them - own ota recoveries which always make a mess)
LOS dmesg complaints about damaged GPT and cant find many files even after edl flashing with original FW.

just install orange fox

Question How to

Install custom rom on poco f3 without rooting or twrp.

To install a Custom ROM a Custom Recovery like TWRP is needed.

If you really don't want to install TWRP then you can install a fastboot ROM (look at the oldest ROMs on the Poco F3 Forum). However they will be outdated and probably quite buggy.
I would recommend installing TWRP. You don't have to root your device to do this. However you do have to have an unlocked bootloader to install any custom ROMs

Thanks I will try installing TWRP

Hi,
but the TWRP I have always started from ADB, is there a way to install it in the phone so that I don't have to use the pc to start it?
If there is a way, does the procedure delete my data?
