Flasing a Custom rom boots to recovery

HI,
Every time I flash a custom rom, it doestn't boot. it goes back to TWRP..
The only time it boots is when I flash rom with official twrp. And it boots with few things missing like magisk and other apps. Bluspark and codeworks doesn't boot.
Stock rom downloaded from oneplus also doesn't boot if the recovery is not official TWRP or the stock one..
Is there something I am missing?
Thanks...

Any ideas?

Did you try flashing stock ROM and the Magisk uninstall zip? This removes everything Magisk related. Then boot, only flash Magisk and see if that works for you

I am now back to stock OB1. Whatever custom rom I flash, it has been troublesome.
Last flash was successful, Audax rom. It had nothing missing. I flashed speaker mod, it worked. Then, I tried a custom kernel, blu-spark for nougat. it bootlooped to Qualcomm loader mode..
I have flashed many phones in the past without any problems for 4 years.. but this time it's not working for me..
Is there any 5T specific step that I am missing?
1. Unlock bootloader.
2. Flash Custom recovery. And boot it.
3. Wiped everything including internal storage.
4. Reboot to recovery.
5. Flashed Rom and then magisk and no-verity.
6. Wiped cache ( only sometimes)
7. After this step, the rom doesn't boot. It comes back to recovery using blu_spark and codeworkx... Stock twrp lets it boot but without magisk.
Then, I flashed magisk... It did the same thing, reboots to recovery.
I tried using magisk uninstaller. It didn't work.
Everytime it goes in to loop, I always had to format data because internal storage was not shown. (0mb)
I have never felt this noob...

Correct me if I'm wrong but is the no-verity zip necessary? Doesn't Magisk do that automatically? Just asking as I have stock ROM with Magisk and Xposed and never any issues.

Flash ROM and Gapps and then boot into system. After setting up, flash twrp again and Magisk. No-verity is needed only if you wanna flash certain unencrypted ROMs, in which case formatting data would also be required.

Did you do both fastboot OEM unlock, as well as enabling the option in developer options?

I don't know but without flashing no-verity zip, i haven't been able to boot any of these custom roms for 5t.
Flashing magisk on stock rom has also worked for me, but strangely I can't boot the custom roms on XDA. Liquid rom was successful but I wanted OOS custom roms. So far, I am unsuccessful.
Stock rom with magisk does fulfill my requirements.
But, I am curious about the problem I am having..

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 .

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.

Urgent help needed.

Hello!! Guys i want to flash Arrow OS(pie) ROM in my RN5Pro. But before that i want to know if i screwup something then what will be the process of coming back to stock miui10 Beta? Because of ARB policy i'm very confused about previous method.

MIUI 10 Global 9.1.24 ,,, ARB4 is already active,
1. keep latest copy miui10.2.1 in your pc / sd card ( RECOVERY ROM MIUI10.2.1 DOWNLOAD LINK <----1.7gb
2. ALSO for safty purposes, download FASTBOOT ROM VERSION OF MIUI10.2.1 ALSO, if anything goes wrong, fastboot version can reset Stock Recovery and persist.img also! (which is altered some times while flashing custom roms and/or GAPPS)
FASTBOOT ROM MIUI 10.2.1 DOWNLOAD LINK
3. I USE 'ORANGE FOX RECOVERY' ORANGEFOX 8.3 which is BUILT on twrp-3.2.3-2 --- (DOWNLOAD, UNZIP, USE THE .IMG FILE )
4. Buttt [unofficial] twrp-3.2.3-5 (OTA support for miui and fixed /data encryption for miui10.2.1, ) is released, orange fox is outdated but works very well, however you can use unofficial TWRP 3.2.3-5 also, I have used it, its okay! DOWNLOAD LINK TWRP 3.2.3-5
5. use gapps micro, as anything above micro, always flash pixel launcher! along with given launcher in custom rom, but its your choice
6. DONOT USE MAGISK 18.0,,, stick to MAGISK17.1, because 18.x uses different script to repack /ramdisk folder in kernel. so if you wana flash/test other kernels like latest DERP, Latest insignex, or Agni etc,,,, orangefox and twrp will give you error "cannot extract /ramdisk" ... UNLESS You RESTORE BOOT IMAGE from backup FOR THAT ROM (if you had taken backup at the time of initial flashing) or REFLASH the ROM.
--- hence i stick to magisk 17.1
6b . Orange Fox in Jan19 did mention that they are supporting magisk 18.0 script and once twice i was able to flash kernels also over magisk 18.0 but mostly i got errors!

Only Rebooting into TWRP after flashing custom ROM

Hello there!
Like said in the title, my phone keeps rebooting into recovery after I flashed the latest Pixel Experience rom.
Does anybody know a fix for this?
Thanks!

@latze97: what recovery did you use?

I used TWRP 3.3.1-16.
I was able to fix the issue myself by going back to TWRP 3.3.1-3 via fastboot, flashing vbmeta and then installing the stock global rom.
But thank you for the reply anyway!

@latze97: TWRP has problems on Q, more than this reboot. SHRP is more stable.

Which version of SHRP would you recommend? I tried flashing the latest but instead of booting into the recovery it boots into fastboot...

@latze97: the latest, 200301. But that sounds witchy, not really better. There's an SHRP-update coming... If these bugs go on, format /data.

Hey, i'm having the exact same problem, where did you find this vbmeta file ? Link in the other thread is dead...

[RECOVERY] LineageOS 17.1 recovery [curtana][2020/05/05]

Introduction
This is a LineageOS Recovery compiled from the source tree of LineageOS 17.1 for Redmi Note 9S / 9 Pro.[/STRIKE] While the recovery has been usable for quite some time now, since it is not possible for TWRP to support any device launched with Android 10 for now.
I am aware that there is a TWRP port for this device, but since the source code is not accessible (as for as I can tell, maybe I just did not look hard enough for the source code), I can only advice against using it. The official TWRP open-sourced under GPLv3 does not even support devices launched with Android 10 yet, so there's clearly something going on here. I do not fix compatibility issues between my ROM and that TWRP port.
Instructions (Installing Recovery)
1. Download recovery-XXXX.zip (extract to get recovery.img and vbmeta.img)
2. Reboot to bootloader (`adb reboot bootloader`)
3. Run `fastboot --disable-verification --disable-verity flash vbmeta vbmeta.img`
4. Run `fastboot flash recovery recovery.img`
5. Run `fastboot reboot recovery` to enter LineageOS Recovery
Instructions (Installing Magisk)
You have to use the official Magisk, version 20.4 or later. Installing an older Magisk will make the system unbootable.
1. Download Magisk >= 20.4, put onto computer
2. Reboot to LineageOS recovery, select `Mount /system` (you may see some errors, but they can be safely ignored)
3. Select `Apply update from ADB`
4. Run `adb sideload Magisk-xxx.zip`
5. You will see a signature verification error, select `Yes` to bypass the check
6. Reboot to system to enjoy your Magisk installation.
Caveats
1. Since it's not TWRP, you cannot decrypt your /data in recovery for now, which means no data backup or recovery, and you cannot install on-device flashable zips through this recovery.
2. Since it's not TWRP, it cannot prevent your OS from overwriting recovery automatically. If you use official ROM, you may need to manually re-flash the recovery every time. I'm not sure whether this can be bypassed with some Magisk module.
3. Don't expect to be able to flash anything into /system (e.g. OpenGAPPS or magisk) on stock ROMs
4. When trying to install OpenGAPPS on custom roms, it will get stuck at the end of the flashing process. This does not affect the functionality of the installed system and gapps, and a force-reboot into system will work just fine.
5. You need to always click "Mount /system" before flashing any mods into the system (i.e. Magisk, OpenGapps, etc., ROMs themselves are not affected), otherwise they will fail to install. (Clicking the option does not actually mount /system; it just sets up necessary mappings from the super partition to each of the dynamic partitions so that the installation scripts will work)

This is amazing !!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

I'm very very grateful, but what's the advantage over stock recovery if we can't flash zips inside the phone memory? Or if we can't take a data backup?
Just asking trying not to be rude

With LOS recovery you can adb sideload roms like EvolutionX

After reboot to recovery. It stuck at LOS recovery menu screen not response to Vol up/down button.
Then about 10 seconds phone reboot to normal stage.
When I reboot to recovery again it became stock recovery screen no LOS recovery.
