Hi people, quick bit of help if possible. Received my X9006 a couple of days ago. I initially flashed TWRP on it and then rooted, all went perfectly. I then found that I couldn't flash OS 2.0 with this, so reverted back to stock recovery and the stock recovery root. This fixed the issue and OS 2.0 installed flawlessly. I have since tried to re-flash TWRP but it just doesn't want to work. Is there some compatibility issue? Would I have to revert back to OS 1.2 and then flash TWRP and SU to be able to install any other ROMs in future? Apologies for what seems like a stupid question as I'm sure it's something obvious but my brain is fried. Thanks.
Hi, I flashed twrp after installing 2.0. No issues. Did you erase cache?
Edit: or you could try flash tool from play.
With our unlocked bootloaders there is nothing stopping you from flashing a different recovery at any time.
Show us the output from your fastboot commands to help.
BTW, you can flash official Oppo updates in TWRP by removing the (usually first two) assert lines looking for Find7 in the updater-script.
Hi guys, I'm currently on the Experience ROM and for some odd reason, I cannot get back to stock OS. Either the Beta or the official releases. I tried sideloading through ADB with stock and twpr but both fail to do so, I get an error saying cannot load then the zip name. If I flash stock OS via team win, it just constantly reboots into recovery and never actually loads the OS. As of right now, I can only get experience ROM to run. Not sure what to do at this point or what I'm doing wrong. Pls halp.
Use the mega unbrick guide thats in the forum.
If you need help with that we can do some kind of remote session.
You might have a problem with the adb version. Get latest version from android developer's website
Wipe System, Data, all the crapp then flash it if it still boots into recovery then flash the stock one. If it boots fine u can flash back twrp.
Also did u change to f2fs and what version of twrp r u on
I instslled magisk apk and then booted twrp .img in fastboot as directed and flashed magisk zip from twrp as said too . I Rebooted and was rooted fine . Downloaded Resurrection rom and the guide said to only wipe in twrp flash rom then flash twrp zip again and reboot/profit . The rom splash screen just sat there spitting out little purple pink splatters and never booted so I rebooted into twrp and flashed the twrp zip to make twrp permanent and ended up losing my stock backup from the boot.img twrp and my internal storage . Had taken all night to find the right tool kit to flash firmware back .
What went wrong ? How do you flash rom on this phone I'm no noob but I'm not risking it again .
After you boot twrp and flash magisk are you supposed to flash twrp.zip then make your backups and flash roms? I wasn't sure if it was a long bootup or not gonna boot ever

I see a couple possible problems with your steps. The biggest is not being prepared. Not a shot at you but a fact that comes with a new device. The easiest route at this point would be to list out what exactly you want to have as a finished project. I'm assuming rooted RR with installed TWRP? I ask because if you want to have TWRP installed you should also use a condom kernel that has the touch drivers. I'm not sure if RR had them by default it not. Anyway, confirm what you want and I'm sure one of us will get you pointed in the right direction. You won't find most of us using a tool kit, so you will learn the "right" way... Lol

I know it's a typo but condom kernel cracked me up. Does it automatically boot you to safe mode?

What?
I never flashed a custom ROM on this device, but it should be fairly easy. Turn off security settings on stock ROM, flash permanent twrp. Wipe system, dalvik/ cache and data and install RR. Boot and wait a few minutes, it sometimes takes some time. I don't know how the gapps situation is, so you might need to flash gapps. Also make sure to make a backup since you will wipe all data. Should be fairly easy of you followed the steps correctly

What I' did to flash the rom was separate from rooting procedures . The phone been unlocked for months.
I did both separate times
I fastboot booted twrp.img then I installed magisk zip. I did not permanent flash twrp zip after . I only flashed the perm twrp zip after I wiped and flsahed the RR Rom . So another words I was on twrp temp boot only when I flashed the rom then I flashed twrp zip per the rom Dev instructions . But I can't make sense why you have to flash twrp after you flash a rom install .
I'm assuming it goes like this
Install latest magisk apk.
Fastboot boot twrp .img
Then perm flash twrp .zip
Then flash magisk .zip
Reboot into the O.S and check for root
Reboot into (permanent Twrp) swipe to allow modifications .
wipe stock rom with the swipe only method??
Install Rom of choice and reboot !
Or is it install Rom /flash twrp.zip for a second time then reboot

I want to flash a rom but I'm not understanding how the pixel 2 xl works with twrp vs other devices .
If I reboot without first flashing a kernel then maybe that's the dilemma?
I just don't get why you need to flash permanent twrp .zip after you install Rom If you already had twrp permanent installed to begin with .
I' went over what I did in this thread and what I'm guessing I did wrong. So do I need special kernel for each and every rom listed . I never had to flash a kernel to get a rom to boot on any device and I've been flashing for years with T-Mobile phones on Galaxy devices and unlocked Google based phones.

I don't get why you would need to flash magisk before.
0. Make Backups and turn off security settings. Also make sure you're on the newest OTA
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Do a factory reset in Wipe settings.
3. Flash ROM
4. Flash TWRP of you want, not required but recommended
5. Reboot and set it up
6. Install magisk Manager and reboot to TWRP
7. Flash magisk and reboot
That's it.

Hey let me ask you something, I just got the Pixel 2 XL but I always do a lot of research. Something I wasn't prepared for is the touch issue in TWRP. It works fine when initially installed, works fine sometimes after a reboot, but always ends up not working because touch isnt working. You're saying I can install a custom kernel and that should be fixed? I've always rocked Elemental or Franco's but am on rooted stock and since I've never stayed stock before I'm not even sure if I can flash another kernel without changing ROMs. If I can, or even if I have to change ROMs, you're saying that most custom kernels have the touch in TWRP working?

All the custom kernels fix the twrp touch issue. You can flash them anytime you want on stock rom via twrp. Just disable screen lock(just initially for safety) boot into twrp, flash your kernel then magisk, reboot and done

Thanks a lot. Does changing kernels remove magisk?

Some do, some don't. That's why you flash magisk after the kernel. But that's changing as well :good:
After some time of sitting on ColorOS 6.1 I decided it was time to move to a Custom Rom.
I watched some tutorials and managed to unlock my bootloader and flash twrp recovery version 3.4.
Following the steps from the Evolution X guide I wiped cache/system/vendor/data/internal storage. Then copied over the rom via the "mount" option, after successfully copying the rom I went to install and flashed the rom with no issues. However, once I go to reboot I boot strait into fastboot mode (which keeps restarting until I select 'restart bootloader').
I have tried other Roms such as Covus and the pixel experience rom that was posted here and have the same issue.
Finally I tried 'fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img' with vbmeta provided in root tutorial...still nothing
As it stands I can still boot into twrp without issue so I wouldn't call the device bricked just a victim of (likely) user error.
Oh and I also tried different versions of twrp...3.3-19 and that also did not work.
Is it possible that trying to flash to an android 10 rom from android 9 is the issue?
Please let me know if you guys or girls have any ideas because I can't think of anything else
Finally thank you in advance all those who respond!
Edit: So uhhh yeah y'all make sure you update to android 10 before trying to flash an android 10 rom lol
update: I followed this guide if anyone has issues and booted successfully after a couple attempts into RealmeUI

Hi everyone,
I'm writing this blog post to ask for some help from the XDA community. I have a Samsung A22 SM-A225F and I want to install a custom ROM on it, preferably an Android 12 GSI. However, I'm having some trouble getting it to boot properly.
I'm following the directions on this blog post which claims to have successfully installed Android 12 GSI on the same device. The steps I'm following are as follows:
Use Odin tool to flash the stock verified ROMs on my phone to start from zero.
Flash the (magisk patched.tar) file on AP
Boot to Android and set it up then install Magisk app to check for root (I'm doing this because it doesn't work otherwise)
Flash TWRP and run multidisabler then boot again to check if everything is working.
Finally flash the system.img, I'm not sure about vbmeta so I'm skipping it.
But I keep getting a bootloop no matter what I try, I've tried wiping cache and everything.
Weirdly enough I have flashed stock Android like two days ago except that it actually booted to set up but it didn't detect the network and kept mini rebooting from time to time.
I've tried the steps in that blog for Android 11 to flash crDroid but that also didn't work, I've also tried flashing crDroid even when following the steps for Android 12. Still no success.
I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what I'm doing wrong or what I can do to fix this issue. I've read some other guides on how to install custom ROMs and GSIs on Samsung devices without TWRP but they seem too complicated for me.
If anyone can help me out or point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance! and i'll gladly provide any information required when i have time as it's currenlty night time
what twrp u using also where u flashing it using fastboot or from TWRP ?
i recommend u using fastboot to flash GSI
