Hi,
Googled a while and looked around in the forum but did not find anyone with the exact same issue as me so here goes.
Maybe someone could tell me where exactly I am doing wrong.
I have a LG Nexus 5X, latest Oreo 8.1 official update.
I want to install a custom kernel to improve performance and/or battery life.
Never rooted or anything like that so I googled around to know what to do.
So I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the latest TWRP custom recovery (v3.2.1-0).
The first strange thing unlike what I kept reading in tutorials and forums is that, although I did reboot directly into recovery after flashing TWRP, and completed flashing TWRP using its interface, I was never able to reboot into TWRP unless I flashed it again. As if TWRP could not avoid being overridden by the stock recovery. So to get back to TWRP I always have to:
reboot into the bootloader: adb reboot bootloader
flash TWRP: flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-bullhead.img
reboot bootloader: fastboot reboot
immediately start into to bootloader (power + vol down)
choose 'Recovery Mode' from there
Which seemed odd, that TWRP wouldn't 'stick', although I was not root yet.
Which gets me to the second part. All I wanted was to root my phone.
So after not finding a consistent way to do it - it seemed every website I visited gave me slightly different instructions to do so, I took the chance and did the following:
download latest SuperSU flashable zip file (v2.82) and copy it to internal storage
go through the process I describe in the list above to get into TWRP
install SuperSU zip file (via Install TWRP option, logs seemed ok, warned me it would take a while to boot again)
reboot, wait until it boots
But the phone got stuck in the boot screen - OS does not start to load - for at least half an hour.
Luckily, probably because the OS did not load, TWRP was not overridden and so I have access to it.
My main problem at this point is that, as a newbie on this, I am not sure what can I do in TWRP to try to restore the OS.
I have tried to restore a Nandroid backup I performed before all this, and also tried to Wipe Data / Cache and Dalvik.
Both did not work - OS still won't load.
What can I do at this point? Wipe System partition? Wouldn't that delete my Nandroid backup?
Maybe 'sideload' (not sure if the right term) an official google image for my Nexus?
Sorry again if questions like this can be easily found around the forum, but from the threads I checked I did not bump into the exact same scenario...
Thank you in advance
So in the meantime I have wiped system partition, no success either.
Ended up restoring my Nandroid backup and sideloading the latest OTA from Google, which successfully restored my phone.
Of course TWRP was overridden once again.
So back to the start: can anybody help me out on the best way to permanently flash TWRP and root the phone?
Thanks!
Forget SuperSU - Use Magisk to root your phone. As for TWRP getting overwritten - any time you take an update from Google, it will generally (if not always) restore the stock recovery. The way to get around that is to download the entire current update from Google and then use fastboot to flash the individual parts (system.img / boot.img / radio.img / vendor.img)

Well yes, the last time I expected TWRP to be gone since I have applied the whole image, and I wouldn't expect otherwise. My problem is that TWRP is always getting overridden each time I reboot my phone. Do you have any idea why?
Regarding Magisk, I will look around to see how to use it. Could you point me in the right direction?
Also I think I read somewhere that the kernel I wanted to flash in the end - Franco's Kernel - required SuperSU and did not work with Magisk. Am I wrong?

Here's the guide stickied that should walk you through the TWRP install. https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206930
Just curious you are using "fastboot flash recovery ....." and not "fastboot boot recovery...."? The "boot" method doesn't do the install.
As for Magisk. There is a whole forum dedicated to it - https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk - Short story install the latest stable version (16.0) and call it good. I haven't had any issues with recent kernel builds including Franco, EX, etc.... One thing to keep in mind is that Magisk always gets flashed after the kernel install as it does some patching of the boot.img as part of its process.

Yes, flash, not boot.
Thanks a bunch for all your help. I didn't meant to be lazy to start by reading sticked topics, but it's so much new information for a newbie that I didn't exactly know where to start. Thanks again for sharing the links.
I'm not sure if you got this fixed. But if not, first fastboot boot twrp. Then flash supersu or magisk. Then boot back into the bootloader from twrp and fastboot flash twrp. That'll solve the problem.

I tried that but I'm getting no luck with SuperSU, always gets me in a bootloop (actually, technically not a loop since it remains Frozen with the Google logo)
I'll give magisk a try and come back with feedback. Maybe it has something to do SuperSU incompatibility with Oreo 8.1..

V2.82 Stable, not Service Release. Is the last stable not compatible with Oreo? Official website is not specific about it, so I just assumed it was ok.

SR5 worked like a charm. I just wish there was a compatibility matrix somewhere in their website to avoid so many forum threads and misinformation on the subject and avoid all the hustle. The whole process is dead simple but it took me days and tailored help from you guys to figure this one out.
Thanks again to all of you for your assistance.
i had that issue with a nex 6 and flashing supersu fixed it. when i got a 6p i tried the same and get stuck on the boot logo and had to sideload factory firmware to get back to go. i have a 5x on the way maybe i will try magisk.
so after i flash twrp reboot the bootloader, i open twrp and flash supersu sr5 and all is well, no more disappearing act for twrp and no more stuck on the "google"?
Hi all,
I've updated my 3xl to the december update like usual, flash-all.bat without -w. Afterwards, it boots fine, and in settings it clearly states that I'm running the December security patch.
However, when I boot into twrp (not installed) and flash magisk, android boots to just before asking my SIM PIN, says "Shutting Down", then reboots and gives me the message "Can't load Android System. Your data may be corrupt." etc. inside stock recovery.
Did the December update somehow break magisk? Anyone gotten it to work? I'd rather not do a factory reset if it's not needed.
Works fine for me.
Try re-flashing the December update with the - w deleted see if it boots up. Then try flashing magdisk manually on bkth a and b partitions
Working fine for me as well.
I would try flashing the stock boot and system images to both slots. It probably won't work but worth a try before doing a factory reset.

You have a corrupt backup copy of boot.img, Magisk grabbed that and used it for root.
Flash the stock boot.img to both slots and reroot.

First off, thanks for trying to help!
Flashing the stock boot.img "solves" the problem, I can boot and use the phone like normal, but without root obviously. Using the stock boot.img inside magisk manager to patch it with 17.3 and flashing that boot image to both partitions gives me this error again. I've also tried re-applying the December update at least 3 more times, with the same result. Any other ideas?

Flash the stock boot.img to both slots.
Reboot and check it.
Copy the Magisk zip to your phone.
Fastboot boot the TWRP img file, don't install it.
Use TWRP to install the Magisk zip, and you are done.

Do you have the previous version of Edge Sense Plus module installed? That sounds exactly like what happens if you install Magisk with that module still there. He put out a new one today.

Good deal. That is why I always keep a copy of the Magisk uninstaller on the phone itself. As long as I can get to BL/temp TWRP .img, the worst I am out is the time it takes me to reconfigure Magisk.

Flash magisk v18.1 and it will work fine. Don't update Magisk. Some roms have this bug.

If you reboot it should reappear (it does for me).
I don't know what's the root cause, I'll just wait patiently for a fix. Unfortunately I don't have time to troubleshoot or provide logs to whoever to help the investigation.
PS: in your description be more accurate "latest version of xyz" means nothing. Specify exactly which version. Especially there is stable and beta!
Magisk seems to have made major changes with the newest v22 release, and I discovered this morning after installing it that upon reboot, you get stuck in the Fastboot screen. Looks like the only way to fix is to re-flash Stock from LGUP and basically just start over. Fun!
I had no issues with Magisk versions up through 21.x, but unless you know something I don't know, don't attempt to upgrade to Magisk v22.
Maybe @ChazzMatt has more knowledge and can comment/elaborate on what the problem is
EDIT: I was able to just re-flash the TWRP-flashable 930b zip and Magisk 18 and it seems to be working, unfortunately I had already attempted factory reset so I might've been able to save myself a ton of time if I *hadn't* done that, now I gotta go through and setup my phone all over again, but I'm at least past the issue of being stuck in fastboot.
UPDATE
* Variant: US998 US Cellular/Carrier Unlocked
* ROM: Rooted Stock Pie (US99830b)
* Magisk: v21.4
So it seems the issue is not that it "soft bricks", but something about the new installation process of Magisk v22 goes wrong with the /boot partition, causing the phone to only be able to boot into Fastboot mode.
After getting my phone fully recovered and restored from the last failed attempt (and making a new TWRP backup), I attempted the v22 update again. First Magisk attempted to download and install the new v22 app, and then a popup notification said "additional setup is required for your device, press OK to reboot". So I hit okay, and that's when once again I got stuck in Fastboot with no other options.
If you have a TWRP/nandroid backup, you can easily fix this by performing the Master Reset process in order to boot into TWRP, and then just Restoring the /boot partition from your TWRP backup. This will get you back to Magisk v21.4 where you were before, which is where I'm currently at.
At this time, unless Magisk releases a TWRP-flashable .zip for v22, or unless there's a way to update to v22 via Fastboot, it doesn't look like updating to v22 will be possible, at least for the Stock Pie ROM.
I've seen on both reddit and XDA that several people are saying they updated to v22 without issue, but it's unclear if they were on Stock or Custom ROM. My guess would be that Custom ROMs are probably working fine and it's the Stock ROM that's having the issue.
Update 2
Someone suggested just renaming the magisk v22 apk to zip instead, and this seems to work.
What I did:
* Download the Magisk v22 apk from github
* Rename it to zip instead of apk
* Download the magisk v22 apk again, so now you have both a zip and an apk
* flash the v22 zip in TWRP
* Upon rebooting, I again got the "additional setup needed, press OK to reboot" prompt, so I did
* Successfully rebooted without getting stuck in fastboot, but upon opening magisk, I got the same prompt again
* manually installed the Magisk v22 apk from my file explorer
* opened the newly installed magisk app and again got the "additional setup" prompt, hit OK to reboot
* device rebooted again, and I think I got the prompt/reboot cycle one more time, but eventually after doing this, Magisk app opens and shows v22 with no more setup/reboot prompts
Seems to be working now as far as I can tell
I was able to upgrade perfectly fine using their app. I hadn't hid the Magisk Manager app, maybe that's the issue? I had Magisk Hide active on a few apps to hide root.

I didn't hide it either so idk what happened. I never had any issues with the "Direct Install" option for Magisk upgrades before. It said "downloading" but never seemed to actually do anything. It wasn't until I rebooted a few days later that the problem occurred.
Did you just do the direct install?
I, too, had no problems updating using the app. I used the Direct Install option. I did have a problem with Direct Install with the last 21.x version, though. It didn't do anything and I had to update via recovery, but someone else (might've been ldeveraux) said that he had no such issue, so it wasn't the version per se. It could just be that the updates fail sometimes for whatever reason. If you try again, it might work this time.
That said, it seems like you're using the stock ROM, so maybe there's a genuine issue with v22 there. I wouldn't know, since I'm on an LOS-based ROM.

forum.xda-developers.com
It's been so long since I've done this and I'm just going off of what others have posted, but it seems to me like you have two options:
A) Partly follow this guide to flash TWRP and boot into TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...r-instructions.3790500/page-165#post-79972584
Once in TWRP, you can flash the zip above.
B) Unzip the zip above and try running "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and "fastboot flash system system.img". I'm not sure of those commands or if you'll have TWRP afterward.
Anyways, don't take me as an expert on this, since I haven't had to use fastboot or flash TWRP in a year and a half, but, hopefully, this helps a little.

I got it from one of @ChazzMatt's threads, the TWRP-flashable US99830b.zip
If you already had TWRP installed, when you do the Master Reset on the LG V30, it doesn't actually go into Master Reset, it goes into TWRP instead. From there, you can copy over the 30b zip via USB and flash via TWRP. You can probably just flash right over the existing installation without wiping anything but idk for sure. I wiped first in the course of troubleshooting.

You don't need to restore anything in order to update to a New OTA. Simply disable any magisk module you use. Reboot your device then let the OTA install it self. Once done, DO Not reboot and just go to magiskmanager, and install magisk to the available slot. After what you can reboot your device, re apply your magisk modules. Et voilà

I followed my normal process (I don't use any Magisk modules):
Magisk Uninstall->Restore Images (do not reboot)
Take OTA (do not reboot)
Install Magisk to both active and inactive
Reboot
Worked without issue, as always.
I found 11.2.7.7.LE15AA, disabled all magisk modules rebooted, installed update reinstalled magisk to other slot, rebooted now I'm boot looped and in recovery, set it back from A to B (was previously on B), as obviously slot_A is non-functional or something went wrong with the upgrade from 11.2.5.5.LE15AA to 11.2.7.7.LE15AA, same problem still boot-looped.
Maybe teh custom kernel was to blame, I'll try restoring boot image and try again
I'd so prefer a full zip if they every provide one for the LE15AA version, as this method is never easy

Yeah, I don't do any custom kernel stuff or magisk modules, I cannot personally comment. What I know, for me, is the process fails 100% of the time if I don't do the Magisk image restore and it succeeds 100% of the time if I do.
I am currently on 11.2.4.4 AA (Global), rooted. Can I upgrade to the EU ROM since they tend to get full updates while AA has not been? If so, do I just flash the 11.2.6.6 EU ROM or should I flash 11.2.4.4 EU ROM then flash a more up-to-date ROM? If I flash the EU ROM, would I loose anything?
As rooted you have to flash OTA using full OTA zip file that you can download using oxygen updater app. Incremental OTA method cannot work properly.
On Oxygen updater app, download the full zip file (it will detect Magisk and advise you to use that method.)
Once downloaded, be sure that every magisk module are disabled and reboot.
Now go to parameters/system/system update then click on the upper right icon and chose local update. If it's not already done, point to the full zip file location and let the update process run to the end.
Once done, do not reboot and use magiskmanager to reflash magisk to the available slot.

Not sure if this was for someone specific for their unique circumstance. If this was just meant generally, then it is inaccurate.
I don't use Oxygen Updater. I just take the incremental OTA using the steps I mentioned.

Easy. You open magisk and restore stock boot. Don't reboot yet. Download and install update. Don't reboot yet. Open magisk and install to inactive slot. Reboot.

Normal process for taking the OTA and keeping root worked without any issue.

you are saying taking this incremental ota worked for you? I did the exact same steps (restore images, install without rebooting, install to inactive slot) and my system is still stuck on 11.2.4.4, I do not know what the issue is

yeah my system reports 11.2.4.4, yet have an incremental update for 11.2.7.7, which is odd for a number of reasons. long story short I'm sure it will cause me issues to try applying an incremental update that is not in order, but idk why 11.2.7.7 is showing up on my system, bc 11.2.6.6 never installed (or the system doesn't report it did)
