Hi,
My Nexus 5X died some days ago, and Google shiped me another one. But this new device have the unbelievable "NO RPMB" message that locks the bootloader (this is a known issue where the bootloader is automatically re-locked after each reboot, making flashing factory images an harassing journey).
I installed TWRP to flash a custom rom but after each reboot on the system,TWRP was replaced by stock recovery !
Do anyone knows how resolve this problem ? I suppose if I can flash a custom rom it will solve a great part of the problem... I'm actually thinking of sell this new phone and get another device like oneplus.
Any help will be appreciated ! ?

Unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and boot straight to recovery without rebooting, perform a factory reset and root. That should make TWRP stick. If it doesn't, you can then use the TWRP manager to install TWRP again.

Quick question. As I just picked up a refurb N5X on the cheap and I plan to use it (fingers crossed it does have RPMB, not holding my breath though)- how viable are custom ROMs on this thing? The reddit thread that started this all states to leave /system unmodified but other comments say that they've flashed custom kernels.
So- if this is the case, would the order be unlock bootloader>flash stock images/noencrypt>flash TWRP>boot into TWRP> factory reset> boot into Oreo> unlock bootloader and boot into TWRP when modifications need to be made?
Thanks.

I use a custom kernel so that works just fine, haven't tried a custom ROM though. You don't have to unlock the bootloader every time to make changes as long as you have TWRP. I'm not entirely sure but I think rooting made the TWRP stick. If not, you can still install it from the TWRP app as you have root.
After you've installed the stock images, it should be enough to boot into TWRP, do a factory reset and flash the custom ROM.

So once TWRP is installed and "stuck", it can make modifications to traditionally "root" partitions (system, data, etc.?).
Also, did you flash the noforce encrypt boot image (and then wiping userdata)? Or does the stock image work?

Yes. I've for example installed all the OTAs from TWRP (except Oreo).

Hello, i have the same NO RPMB problem Im using latest stock rom 8.1 (December patch), radio, bootloader and vendor.
How can i boot straight into recovery without rebooting? Do i need to flash vendor.img too? (i would like flash latest AEX rom).
If im not wrong i should do this procedure as suggested right?
- unlock bootloader from fastboot
- flash latest twrp recovery from fastboot without rebooting (this will work? Because in the N5X root thread it's written to reboot first)
- get into twrp without rebooting (how do that?)
- install root (i will use latest Magisk)
- perform factory reset
- wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache
- install custom rom, gapps...
- wipe cache and dalvik, and reboot
Finally i will have a rooted device with custom rom and bootloader locked again right?
Or is preferred this solution of Reddit user?

I haven't tried this with a custom ROM but I would try it like this.
- Unlock bootloader from fastboot
- Flash TWRP from fastboot
- Select boot to recovery from the fastboot menu
- Do a factory reset
- Wipe system, cache, and dalvik cache
- Flash ROM, flash Gapps
- Flash Magisk
- Reboot
Hey all,
I'm trying to better understand what I'm doing with my phone here. Currently I have my OP3 rooted (aka unlocked bootloader, correct?) and on 8.0.0.
1. If I wanted to keep it rooted and reinstall the OS, is this as simple as downloading whichever ROM I want, copying it to my phone's internal storage, and flashing it in recovery using TWRP?
2. Is stock recovery (recovery_OP3.img on the oneplus.net website) the same part of the software as TWRP? As in the stock recovery is locked bootloader and TWRP is unlocked bootloader?
3. I've been searching for the most recent root guide, can I get a recommendation? I've read that SuperSU is not the thing to use any longer, but rather Magisk. Correct?
4. What is boot.img?
Thanks all

1. If you switch roms, always do a clean install (wipe all partitions) . If you want to get rid off all the mods wipe system and flash the same rom + gapps + root. You won't loose data since you are only modifying the system partition.
2. Stock recovery by Oneplus is as if says stock, you littery can't do anything with it apart from upgrading your OOS, wiping cache partitions and doing a factory reset. I do recommend the TWRP provided by Bluspark since that seems to be the only one I tried without any issues whatsoever.
3. Magisk is the new root method in my opinion, it supports Magisk modules which simply are mods that can be installed and removed with a single click (reboot required tho). You can compare it to xposed but very limited when compared.
4. Boot.img is your kernel, never flash standalone img files apart from TWRP since the kernel modifies more the only the boot img. Always flash the full zip.
I have now tried to install the latest RR and Omnirom builds and the problem remains the same.
I've been very particular about wiping data before the installs.
Here is what I have done,
Performed data wipe by typing "yes" when requested. Used advance wipe to wipe everything.
Installed Rom, Stock Gapps and Magisk zip files.
Wiped Cache.
Reboot
The phone will not boot and only returns to recovery.
Can anyone help?
Here is my TWRP log if this helps - https://pastebin.com/ghpXkt3t
Not sure if this is relevant, but every time I try to flash a ROM it always fails on the first attempts and needs a second try to succeed.

If you only get to the mi logo and not the ROM boot screen then format data "yes 3-4 times in a row.
If that doesn't work then wipe the system and data and retry
I was only getting the Mi logo, so I did the format data 4 times in a row and rebooted.
I then saw the Omnirom logo for the first time!
unfortunately 2 seconds later I'm back in TWRP.
I have now tried for the 5th time to perform a fresh install.
Formatting data multiple times, wiping system and data multiple times.
The result is the same.
I see a flicker of the Omnirom logo and I get booted back into recovery.

Please try this:
1. Wipe: Dalvik / Art Cache; System; Data; Cache;
2. Go back to main TWRP screen and install the rom, install Google Apps, install "addonsu-15.1-arm64-signed.zip" (in case of Lineage) or the latest Magisk (in case of other rom)
3. Wipe Cache
4. Reboot
If this doesn't work and the device restarts in twrp, then pls download the twrp flashable Xiaomi rom from here: http://en.miui.com/download-334.html
1. Wipe: Dalvik / Art Cache; System; Data; Cache
2. Go back to main twrp screen and install the Xiaomi rom. Do not reboot.
3. Go back to main twrp screen and Wipe: Dalvik / Art Cache; System; Data; Cache
4. Go back to main twrp screen and install the rom (Lineage or OMNI or RR), install Google Apps, install "addonsu-15.1-arm64-signed.zip" (in case of Lineage) or the latest Magisk (in case of other rom)
5. Wipe Cache
6. Reboot
I had the same problem and this method worked for me, maybe it will work for you too. :fingers-crossed:
If it doesn't then maybe you have to start from zero and flash the original Xiaomi rom in fastboot mode (rom here: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html) via MIUI ROM Flashing Tool, unlock bootloader (bootloader might relock), flash twrp and then flash new custom rom.
No idea what happened but I have the same issue atm.
I was running a recent Omnirom for a few weeks. System got unstable, so decided to flash the newest version. Got me stuck in a bootloop. I tried everything, short of relocking and unlocking the bootloader.
- Full wipe, including storage
- Reflash Global Dev through TWRP.
- Flash stock Global Dev over flashboot
- Flash Omni, wipe, flash omni again.
All the same. Global Dev runs, all AOSP roms just go into bootloop. No idea what went wrong, I've flashed tens of custom roms over the past months without issues.

Then maybe the right solution to get out of bootloops would be to start from zero and flash the original Xiaomi rom in fastboot mode (rom here: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html) via MIUI ROM Flashing Tool, unlock bootloader (as bootloader will relock), flash twrp, do a full wipe and then flash new custom rom.

I have reflashed the original Xiaomi ROM (running it atm ) using the official Xiaomi Flash Tool.
I just did not relock my bootloader doing that (there's an option to leave it unlocked). Will relocking and then unlocking the bootloader really make a difference?

Not really. You ev. save yourself a waiting time of 72h....
Not sure what happened. I set up MIUI completely. Then, getting frustrated after using it for 10 minutes, decided to try one more time. Same thing.
1) Fastboot flash TWRP.
2) Wipe
3) Flash Rom
4) Flash GAPPS
Worked this time. No idea what went wrong the first 4 times. Only difference is that I went through the trouble to set up the entire phone this last time before trying again.
Anyhoo, so if anyone has the same issue. Set up phone in MIUI, only then wipe/flash
I got mine working by not installing Magisk. I just flashed Omnirom and GApps and it worked.
After setting up my phone I have since rebooted into recovery and installed Magisk and it works.
Can't system boot after install TWRP, Lazy Magisk on MIX M2S
Hello,
I have this problem, the phone does not boot after TWRP, Lazyflasher and Magisk being installed all fine.
I have re-installed the official ROM on my Xiaomi MI MIX 2S, then TWRP is fine too, then Lazy and Magisk fine.
When I reboot, it is stocked on MI logo whatever I do.
I have tried most of the advise posted but still stocked.
I restarted from scratch, installing again the official ROM, then fastboot flash recovery twrp, then lazy and Magisk, but still stocked on MI.
Thanks a lot in advance
Did you wipe system by any chance.. If you did you need to flash miui again with fastboot.. Or boot into fastboot and type this command 'fastboot format userdata' and press enter. You are facing this issue because of encryption

Gratitude for your reply. What do you mean by "wipe system". I installed the rom and then TWRP etc...
I flashed the ROM again and went into bootloader
I typed "fastboot format userdata" and the system replied:
"/usr/local/bin/mke2fs failed with status 1
mke2fs failed: 1
error: Cannot generate image for userdata
Can you advise.

NO, I followed the usual process with ADB tools.
However, I have no boot "stuck at MI logo (bootloop)" problem when I flash the ROM.
It happens only when use TWRP and flash Magisk and Lazy.
Then, when I restart it got stuck at MI Logo.
Do you suggest I try to flash with MI logo (I don't have a PC though).
If so, should I just flash the ROM and then, what about TWRP, should I use MI flash or ADB?
I just want to make sure that the problem is with the ROM instal?
Thanks a LOT

I have the same issue, it asks me for a password when accessing TWRP because it couldn't decrypt. I've tried both the command above (fastboot format userdata & format data from TWRP directly) and I can access TWRP but when I restart the phone, I have boot loop on the loading screen.
If I don't use the command, and restart the phone directly (not going into TWRP first), the flashed recovery is automatically replaced with the MIUI recovery.
Anyone managed to actually boot the phone with the TWRP recovery installed with no decrypt error?
Thanks

Hi,
I didn't install xiaomi.eu afterwards neither updated the china rom. I'm using china rom (I live in China so there's some stuff on the chinese rom I can use and the updates are more swift), but it's the latest chinese miui rom with the update that came out a few days ago. I had the mi max 2 before and never had to update or re-install a rom after flashing TWRP. With the mi max 2 there were no issues after flashing TWRP in fastboot and then go to TWRP and flash super su. Do you reckon if I flash TWRP then flash the china rom through TWRP it won't give a boot loop (won't it re-write the TWRP bootloader with the miui one?)? If so, should I run the erase data command from fastboot or erase the data partition on TWRP recovery?
There's also a zip file to be installed in TWRP to avoid boot loop (can't recall the name right now), but didn't work either.
If someone has any ideas I'm willing to try on my end to figure this out
Thanks

Come on! Guys!
It is so simple to bypass this Internal Storage(0MB) problem on official China rom (Stable and Beta) of TWRP!
DO NOT use the "Install" option in TWRP to install Magisk.zip/Superusr.zip as TWRP cannot read your Internal Storage at all!
Just activate the adb sideload in TWRP and use the adb sideload command on your PC to push the magisk.zip/Superusr.zip or any zippies into your internal storage especially so if you are rooting the official China rom!
After that. Reboot to system from TWRP and Bingo! Your official China rom/MIUI pops up nicely in no time! :fingers-crossed:
...and the best part of it. You don't need to format data at all! All your data remained intact!!!
I'm running the official China rom 9.6.11.0 with Magisk 16.0 now! All work perfectly including the ever-most-impoartant's Titanium backup! :fingers-crossed::victory:

kelvintisw, thank you so much! I resolve this problem with bootloop using ADB Sideload on MIUI Global)
I successfully unlocked my bootloader, then I tried flashing the twrp by following munchy's tutorial from YouTube (as someone recommended here). I also used the twrp recovery file he provided in the description, by using the latest platform tools from the official website. It was going pretty good. I even got the TeamWin logo, and also loaded up the twrp interface, and was able to navigate through it. But the problem was my internal storage wasn't showing up. So I booted back to my system normally to see If I can find a solution. Then I think I tried again after restarting to see if it fixes itself, but the same problem was persisting. The next time when I tried again, I used the latest twrp version which I downloaded from the official twrp website.
But since my 3rd attempt, I am not able to see any TeamWin recovery come up on my phone, when I connect I do the "fastboot boot (twrp filename)" command in cmd. When I do the command, nothing shows up. The device remains in the Fastboot mode, or just turns off. When I switch it back on, It turns on normally and boots into the phone without any issues, and I can use it. I've tried switching back to the original twrp version munchy used in the above linked video, but same result.
What did I do wrong here? How do I make my phone get into the twrp recovery when I enter the fastboot boot (twrp filename) command thru my PC? How do I make my Internal Storage available to view int he TWRP recovery so I can install it from my Downloads folder? I am on MIUI 14.0.4 If that helps. My end goal is to install Magisk.
Any tips/guides/suggestions are appreciated.
Installing TWRP and root does not erase your data.
Remove security from the lock screen. (decryption).Normally the latest TWRP decrypts the data.
Install Platform tools ,put the TWRP in the folder and run the commands from the folder.
TWRP SKK, Use A12 if your system is in A12/A13 if system A13.
Rename it to twrp.img
CMD
fastboot boot twrp.img
Powershell
./fastboot boot twrp.img
Once booted, go to Advanced -> Press "Flash current TWRP"
If offered, both slots.

Thank you. I had put backed the screen lock after the first 2 attempts because someone said to to that on a YT video after they faced the same problem. Now I tried again by removing the screen lock and the latest twrp for my device also boots up just fine. Now the problem Is I still can't access my internal storage .
Still having removed the screen security?
Which rom(fullname)?
Which TWRP?
Try to mount storage.

Yes, I removed the screen security, though I can enter TWRP, I can't read the internal storage. MIUI 14.0.4.
I just watched a YT video where the dude does the following:
-TWRP Recovery
- Wipe
- Format Data
- Types 'yes'
then
-TWRP Recovery
- Reboot
- Recovery
- Do not Install
After coming back to recovery after rebooting, he gets a pop up, which at the swipe says "Swipe to allow for modifications" which he swipes, then now after checking the Internal Storage, It's readable now. Is this a possible solution?
Twrp A13, obviously if you don't want to keep the data.
Twrp/wipe format data type yes/reboot TWRP.
If error red lines, reboot TWRP and repeat the operation.
Sideload roms or use OTG.

what's twrp A13? Also, I just unlocked my bootloader a few hours ago, so my phone has already done a factory reset and i don't have anything to lose except the Magisk APK and .img file in my phone.
But I have a question, will doing the format data just do a factory reset, or will I lose my ROM? Because I'm not trying to install a custom ROM, I just want to Install Magisk as the end goal with my current ROM.
MIUI 14 Android 13 so use this TWRP
plugged the phone into the PC when it is on the TWRP, you will have access to the internal storage. (works on my 12 pro aves twrp A13 Skk).
twrp-3.7.0_12-v7.5_A13-alioth-skkk.img
I'm using the latest one I could find on the TWRP website for my device. Not aware If it supports Android 13 though as it isn't mentioned on the website. Just asking my prev question, will doing the format data from TWRP just do a factory reset, or do I lose the ROM and will have to install a custom ROM?
second question I forgot to ask in my prev post, after i do the format data and put the Magisk APK and twrp img file again on my device, will my device stay decrypted as I formatted the data, or will the problem persist?
sorry If i sound dumb

Use this TWRP(officiel).
twrp-3.7.0_12-v7.5_A13-alioth-skkk.img
thank you, this is the one I was looking for. Sorry to bother you again, now I installed the Magisk V26.1 apk from TWRP. And when I boot back to system and try opening the magisk manager, this happens. It says downloading, forever. I think I shouldn't have directly downloaded the latest version. So probably have to downgrade it a bit. For that, what will I have to do?
Can I just hold the Magisk icon, and uninstall it simply like any other app? Or do I have to do it from the TWRP? Also, Is it necessary for me to uninstall it before downgrading, or can I just download the apk of older magisk version and flash it from twrp just like I did previously?
It was on my first post.

TWRP + Root
Hi all. Hope you are good and safe from Covid-19. If you like TWRP as your recovery and want to keep root access as well, I am going to show you how to do that. Because if you take the stock boot.img and patch it via magisk, you will lose TWRP...

Try OrangeFox. I never had problems with it. Been using it for half a year and constantly flash new ROM builds as a tester

I don't doubt it, the Twrp A12 also works for certain operations on an A13 system but for certain Miui roms some bootloop.

Hm ok.
Welp for me on AOSP, it works nicely. I flash a new build (or two) every week. Backup/Restore works as should. UI is nice and modern, imo better than TWRP. That's why I'm recommending it.
Haven't heard anyone saying that they can't view Phone storage on OrangeFox.
Hi,
@NOSS8 , I'd like to ask : I've only some hours to wait to unlock the BL. But one question, as it's yet the stock rom (FW V13.0.11.0, A12), wich twrp should I use ? I want to install a A13 rom (that supposes FW V 14.xxx !)
So :
- fastboot boot twrp (but wich one ?? A12 or 13 ?? ; skkk ? Or ?) (+ "flash current twrp" OR "install it in ramdisk"?)
- reboot recovery
- flash FW V14.xxx
- flash rom
- format data
- reboot system
- flash magisk (last version ? Seems to be 'big' changes ?)
- flash what I need (V4A, DFE (??), ....)
What do you think ?
Thanks a lot ! Main question is about what version of twrp.. Help will be very appreciated !

Instead, use Miflash with a Fastboot rom, you can extract the boot img for root.(don't re lock the bootloader).
You can root without TWRP, but according to this thread, if you root you lose the TWRP and vice versa, I don't know if this is still relevant.(I don't have this device).
If you need ,install the TWRP A13 after flashing the A13.

Advantage with Miflash, the Fastboot roms contain all the imgs.

I'm very greatfull for your quick reply ! Thanks
The device is too a Poco f3, sorry.. This doesn't need to flash magisk for twrp to stick (I had another one I've broken)
But I don't understand what's the advantage to first flash a fastboot rom..? As you say to flash twrp would loose root and vice versa... (I've read the thread you're talking about ofox)
So I wanted to go trough +- the way I mentionned, as A13 as well as ofox 'seems' to work (but I'm carefull with that twrp on stock MIUI A12, and I never used ofox..)
So you do think it's a bad idea ?? The rom I want to flash is crdroid.
I'm more lost now ...
Thanks again !
