Hello guys,
I tried some stuff from the twrp thread and now I am curious how I can reflash the stock recovery?
Another question is the a/b slot system. I am currently on slot b with flashed stock image and root. If I use the OTA feature now, will the system set up on the slot a and after the next boot I am on slot a?
Best regards,
smoo62
I have a Pixel 2XL. It is rooted w/ Magisk and running RR Oreo ROM.
My Slot A does not work. I have tried to to install a ROM from TWRP and boot, but it goes into a boot loop. Slot B works fine. In TWRP, there is a re-partition or fix partitions button. Will that fix the problem? I've been rooting my phones for years, but I really only understand the basics. Is re-partitioning for Slot A/B, of for recovery/boot/vendor etc partitions?
Any other way to fix Slot A? Is there any problem other than OTA updates with not having 2 slots?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I would really like it work.
TWRP won't fix this, and using the fix partitions option may do more harm than good. Flash a stock ROM (NOT an OTA image) using Fastboot and it should fix your A/B slot issue. From there you can go about setting up your device to use your chosen custom ROM.
My device forum doesn't have instructions how to do it, i've posted asking there but better to ask here also. I found this post for the Mi A2 that isn't my device mines the Mi A3 https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/guide-discussion-aio-gsi-thread-mi-a2-t3933356
The device is A/B arm64 has slots a and b i dunno how that effects flashing here, flashing custom roms will install into the inactive slot then you gotta change your active slot to be the the slot it installed into, then install rest of files there, does this apply with gsi .img files also?
When i tried using flashing the .img file i used orangefox recovery wiped all partitions flashed to system, just says no os installed i will probably try doing that again and flashing DM-Verity & Forceencrypt Disabler and permissiver_v2.zip however who noes if that will help.
If someone can list the correct steps to flash using both fastboot method and twrp/orangefox recovery methods i would appreciate it. If it matters i was trying to flash android 10 gsi. I've seen many different methods listed depending on the device, so i guess that makes it harder to work out.
Thanks.
I've flashed it twice via TWRP with flashing DM-Verity & Forceencrypt Disabler and permissiver_v2.zip. Plus TWRP.
1st time it was into A slot. After 1st flashing I've restarted TWRP and booted into B slot. And then flashed slot B.
After rebooting and seeing Logo in 15 minutes - I've got Android.10

Thanks for the feedback, are you able to tell me the exact steps? like lets just say twrp is already installed and you factory reset, cleared all data.
Do you flash DM-Verity before you flash the rom? or after you flash the rom and what you just flash Forceencrypt Disabler and permissiver_v2.zip after installing the rom?
What i see with regular roms not gsi when you flash the rom if your on slot a it's actually installing it into slot b when you reboot that's where it is so you need to restart before flashing Magisk and other stuff. So i assume with the gsi maybe you need to reboot after installing as system image before flashing the other files?

Your better of using fastboot if flashing a gsi .img you dont need twrp really unless the rom is in a .zip format, or your wanting to add extras like magisk and such, or take a backup
Android 11
Did anyone tried Android 11 gsi??
Hey guys. Until the RR dev makes a thread, this will continue to stay in Discussion. I am NOT the dev for RR. So wanted to get the rom more exposure.
Rom: https://sourceforge.net/projects/resurrectionremix-ten/files/instantnoodlep/
Kernel source: https://github.com/luk1337/android_kernel_oneplus_sm8250
Changelog: https://get.resurrectionremix.com/ten/changelog/Changelog.txt
Be on OOS 10(both slots)(local upgrade last OOS 10 for slot b)
Flash twrp both slots(https://downloads.sourceforge.net/p...=cfhcable&r=https://forum.xda-developers.com/)
Flash rom
Reboot twrp
Wipe userdata(always a must when switching between OOS and custom)
(Optional) install kernel and magisk
Reboot
**UPDATE** this flash instructions work. I use these and ONLY these instructions. If you have a better way, good for you, but if you can't get it to boot, use these.
***UPDATE 2*** if you have installed Android 11 prior to installing this rom, you must msm back to OOS 10 and local upgrade OOS 10 again to slot b and only use Android 10 recovery
Nice one. :good:
Is twrp ok to wipe now? Or would we need stock to do so?
If the latter then may be worth booting twrp and retaining stock recovery to wipe.
Good to see a ROM thread for this.
Excellent.
My thanks to the dev too, it's appreciated.

Why to boot to twrp after flashing the rom?
We can just boot the twrp( not flash it)
Flash rom
Flash magisk ( optional)
Format data
Reboot
It should be mentioned that these builds are blind builds. The Dev doesn't own the device.

Correct but doesn't matter. I tested first few builds before they were released and now alots of people used them. They aren't beta or alpha but stable. So? What's your point?

8pro has a recovery partition. So unless you flash a rom that overwrites twrp with another recovery (stock OOS, etc) then twrp will remain after rom flash

It's simple. If people run into issues or whatever he can't probably fix it. It was the same with treskmod for example.

He is blind building from latest los source that's all. Respect him for doing that, but it's not 100% guarantee for a fully working rom.

This is something that i already know...
Questions are...
1. why to boot to twrp after flashing the rom( useless step)
2. Why to flash twrp on both slots and not inly boot it

1. Is NOT useless. That is for clean flashing which is ALWAYS recommend by every dev. When you dirty flash, it's at your own peril.
And 2. Once again. The OnePlus 8 pro has a recovery partition. So twrp does not get overwritten when you flash a rom. Like on 7 pro, we had to flash twrp after every rom flash. Not needed on 8 pro.

1. I think he meant to say reboot to recovery and not boot the twrp.img.
2. Yes you can boot twrp only. That's what im doing since OP7. But you will need to do this everytime you wanna flash something with twrp.

On your flashing instructions you said. "flash twrp on both slots"
So im asking one more time,... why not just to boot the twrp img on fastboot and flash the rom...
What is this about recovery partition ... everybody knows that the 8 pro has a separate recovery partition
EDIT..Reboot to twrp after flashing the Rom is useless...
I insist. .dont needed

It's in the pic I uploaded. Even the twrp dev said to flash it. So you won't have to fastboot boot anymore. Once you flash it. It's on your phone and won't go away when you reboot recovery
Every phone used to have a boot(kernel) partition, system partition, modem/radio partition, bootloader, userdata, and a few other INCLUDING recovery partition. Recently, the recovery was missing but now it's back. So we no longer have to have to boot twrp but flash it

That is strange. I also have 2025. Try moving the rom to phone instead of usb device. Since this is an updated twrp may be an issue. However. I did NOT have OOS installed on both slots. I flashed latest OOS full rom, used OOS recovery to wipe data. Booted and then flashed twrp to both slots, flashed RR, reboot recovery and flashed magisk
