Hello out there,
my problem is a bit annoying. Everything is fine if I use my OP3T with Oxygen (4.0.3) and TWRP (3.0.3-1). But I want to use LineageOS with TWRP and cant, because my TWRP isnt working after flashing lineage.
"Normal"-Setup:
- TWRP 3.0.3-1
- Oxygen 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 (doesn't matter)
- supersu 2.79
- Encrypted Device
"Lineage"-Setup:
- TWRP 3.0.3-1
- lineageOS (lineage-14.1-20170214-nightly-oneplus3-signed.zip OR lineage-14.1-20170208-nightly-oneplus3-signed.zip - tried both, doesnt matter)
- supersu 2.79
- openGApps for 7.1 nano
- Encrypted Device
My Problem is, that I can boot up lineage and use it, but if I reboot into my TWRP to flash something or make some Backups, it asks for my encryption-passphrase, it says it is okay and boots into the twrp main-windows. After that I can't touch anything (stuck in mainmenu) and after a few seconds it results into a black screen (plus white LED) and I am forced to reboot the device. After that reboot I have to reconfigure lineage (seems to loose data).
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this annoying "bug"?
Thank you very much!
Atomique
EDIT: I found that Thread after searching for a issue like that in the lineageOS official Thread - I will try this and report! - Thank you! https://forum.xda-developers.com/on.../recovery-official-twrp-oneplus-3-3t-t3543391
I had the exact same problem when I hab LineageOS installed! It would always lose all its data. After flashing and reflashing a hundred times, I ended up reverting my OP3T back to stock using a OnePlus forum guide (I'm a new user, so I can't post the link). I am now back to OOS 4.0.3 but can't even get SuperSU to work. Whenever I flash it (with or without the dm-verity fix) the phone is stuck booting forever.
I found the post you linked to aswell but haven't tried flashing LineageOS using the new TWRP. But I can tell that the new version doesn't help rooting OOS...
Did you have any luck flashing LineageOS by now?
Edit: With the newest Lineage Version I always get an error when trying to flash it. Do you have the same problem? The nightly from two weeks ago seems to work better.
Use latest TWRP 3.0.4.1

That's what I'm doing... Could the dm-verity be a problem? There are two versions, one with opt and one with force in the name.
Thank you for your replies! The link (TWRP 3.0.4-1) worked like a charme!
@Tafelbomber: I would recommend you to start from scratch. But please be warned: you will loose your data! Make a backup first!
1. Delete everything with fastboot -w
2. Flash the recovery noted in my first post with fastboot flash recovery <twrp-filename.img>
3. Optional: Restart into the TWRP and flash the OOS 4.0.3 to make sure that you have a clean OS installed befor flashing lineage
4. Flash lineage OS + additional ZIPs (like supersu, betterbatterystats, Gapps etc)
5. Clean Dalvik and Cache!
6. Reboot and have fun. --> Sometimes you get problems with the encryption chain (Red Error --> in my case the fastboot -w did it for me)
Good luck - I will close this thread - thanks again for your help!

Hey there! I just got my Xiaomi Mi8 from HK Goldway at Aliexpress. It came with its bootloader already unlocked and a Global ROM flashed.
I wanted to install Magisk but failed horribly . I've already done that to several phones (my last one was a Moto X Play, and it worked without major complications). But with this one, it seems I can't get past the bootlogo.
Stock Fastboot image used:
dipper_global_images_V9.5.13.0.OEAMIFA_20180714.0000.00_8.1_global
This is what I've tried so far:
First try
Flashed TWRP for Mi8 version 0711.
Flashed Magisk.
Got a bootloop.
Reflashed stock image via Fastboot.
Second try
Booted (not flashed) TWRP.
Tried to install latest global weekly from this thread.
Also got a bootloop.
Reflashed stock image via Fastboot.
Third try
I thought that those flashable ZIP firmwares were too small for them to be a full-fledged OS. So I went and downloaded this other one. Global version.
I read somewhere that I needed to format data before flashing a new image, so I did.
Booted TWRP.
Formated data (not Wipe)
Installed that ZIP from TWRP and booted correctly.
Booted TWRP again and flashed Magisk.
Got bootloop.
Back to stock image via fastboot.
Last try
Booted TWRP.
Formatted data.
Installed MIUI via TWRP.
Without rebooting, flashed Magisk and no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip.
This got past bootlogo ("Unlocked" message changed to "powered by Android") but got stuck there. Not booting at all.
Right now I'm back to the last try, booting MIUI successfully but without Magisk nor no-verity-opt-encrypt.
I kinda have no more ideas left. I understand this is a new device but I can't understand why people claim the have been able to install Magisk and I can't! Other thoughts were, maybe they were running MIUI 10 Beta and it only works with that version? I'm unsure about that.
Can someone lend me a hand? What am I missing?
Thank you!!
EDIT: FIX!
Over here, user @richardyusan helped me out with an extra step.
What I did:
Installed Magisk V16.7.
Installed DM-VERITY AND FORCED ENCRYPTION DISABLER.
Performed fastboot format userdata.
Rebooted.
And I got my phone booting with Magisk Installed!
Even though I couldn't install any module, (every install claimed I needed Magisk v15+). I read some threads and with a Magisk Direct re-install (from its app) I got Magisk downgraded to v16 and everything worked perfectly!
Hope this works out for everyone having this problem!
have you tried to use Magisk 16.4,
if not, try to follow this guide:

Thank you for the fast reply!
I followed that guide and tried these steps:
fastboot boot mi8-twrp-3.2.2.img
Unencrypted via Pattern
Flashed Magisk v16.4 + DM verity disabler file
Reboot
But I'm still stuck at "powered by Android" bootlogo.
Normally it boots within 5 seconds but now it's taking forever. I'll wait a few minutes to see what happens.
I'm attaching some screenshots of the install process.

Ok,
but if you install Magisk 16.4, don't install also DM verity disabler.
DM verity disabler is needed if you don't want to root (see poin 14 in the linked guide).
Hope it works...

If I only flash Magisk 16.4, then phone shows "Powered by Android" and instantly reboots into stock recovery.
Only way to get it back booting, is performing fastboot flash boot boot.img from stock dipper_global_images_V9.5.13.0.OEAMIFA_20180714.0000.00_8.1_global image
I read somewhere about official and unofficial bootloader unlock. I didn't unlock the bootloader myself. Maybe it has something to do with it?
PS: Anyone had any luck using Magisk with MIUI 9.5.13?
Did you try with a newer magisk version ? ... 16.7 was released 15 day ago
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
Direct link: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v16.7/Magisk-v16.7.zip
It´s a good practice to use magisk_uninstaller before flash new one if you had problems.

I just tried that. Uninstalling and re-installing v16.7. Although it seems now it's doing a few more steps, I'm still getting the recovery bootloop.

Exactly that. Maybe we'll need to wait for a supported Magisk version. I'm still wondering what's the difference between our Mi8's that some can get Magisk working and some not. ?
I am running Magisk stable and tmiui 10 from Xiaomi. Eu without any problems.
I have a Mi 8 se and i install the eu rom boot the phone , reboot to twrp wipe and factory reset and installed magisk 16.4 .this is how works for me
i have the same problem too..when using china stable rom 16.7 magisk can be installed successfully tried many times...
flashing global version seems to have this issue...
tried all this steps too but no luck in global rom...

Well maybe the critical step is to wipe everything, including System.
Did you Format anything instead of Wipe this last try?
Also, could you please share a link from that working MIUI rom?
Thank you!
Sorry for double-posting, but I wanted to notify you I GOT IT!
Over here, user @richardyusan helped me out with an extra step.
What I did:
Installed Magisk V16.7
Installed DM-VERITY AND FORCED ENCRYPTION DISABLER.
Performed fastboot format userdata
Rebooted
And I got my phone booting with Magisk Installed!
Even though I couldn't install any module, (every install claimed I needed Magisk v15+). I read some threads and with a Magisk Direct re-install (from its app) I got Magisk downgraded to v16 and everything worked perfectly!
Here are some screenshots!

Is Google Assistant ("OK Google") working for you now as well?
I just flashed magisk v16.0 over the Miui 8.7.26 build and it booted without issues.

I just checked and no. If I go to Google Settings -> Voice, Voice Match is disabled because "This feature is currently unavailable for this language". Even though it's set to English UK. Maybe there is some Magisk Module to enable it?
Thanks, followed these steps and it got magisk going on the recent global release. Only difference was i had to use fastboot erase userdata.

well i didt not flash dm-verity an mine pass saftynet
I was running a custom ROM (Skydragon) earlier. I simply booted into TWRP, did the basic wipe then flashed the official zip file. Then after booting, its stuck on the boot animation for more than 20 minutes now. Any ideas how to resolve this?
I too faced the same issue. formating the data partition and flashing community beta build booted successfully for me. before you do this, completely back your phone contents to pc
You must flash with TWRP 3.2.3.0 or older!
i had the same issue. formated data had 3.3.0 twrp but still bootloop so i used unbrick tool to put my phone back to stock and then updated to last build though stock recovery and then unlocked bootloader, installed twrp, magisk and done.
Hello, everyone!
I hope anyone can help me.
Yesterday I assisted with rooting and flashing a Mi 9 T Pro with Xiaomi.eu firmware.
Here are the steps which were done:
1. Unlocking bootloader via MiFlash Tool.
2. Flashing TWRP (this one: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117906979)
3. First trouble: It only booted once into TWRP with "fastboot boot recovery xxx.img, after formatting data and a restart of TWRP it refused to get access again, neither with a command nor with hardware keys. It was stuck in fastboot.
4. With the MiFlash Tool I reverted to the stock global (this one: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.1.0....M_20190805.0000.00_9.0_global_135788d537.tgz)
5. After successfully flashing the stock ROM, I downloaded and flashed this TWRP: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962577905
6. Flashing this version of TWRP went perfectly fine.
7. In TWRP I formatted data again. I restarted TWRP and copied the following files to storage:
ROM: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962578113
Magisk 19.2.zip
Disable_dm verity_ForceEncrypt
8. I wiped Dalvik, cache, system and data.
9. I flashed ROM - it went through without problems
10. I tried to flash the dm verity, then an error occurred (please see the attached picture).
Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Root is mandatory for me, I definitely need it.
I'm looking forward to your input and your help, it's very appreciated!
try to unmount system then flash it again

Thanks for your input. I tried that, unfortunately this didn't work.
But I found the solution a few minutes ago:
I downloaded TWRP 3.3.1-13 (one version newer) and flashed it inside of my old TWRP. I rebooted to recovery again and then flashed Magisk without problems.
(The dm verity still refuses to install but the phone is booting and running.)
Well, it always work for me, or simply reboot recovery also work. Try wzsx twrp, it has remove DM verity & forced encryption remover in advanced menu
Hi Guys
I tried an update to Mirza's ROM but after it caused more issues, I tried restoring from full Orangefox backup in recovery; only to find the phone stuck at Fastboot mode. It appeared strange, so I tried it again to end up with same fate. I tried installing Xiaomi.EU ROM, but after installation it got into a boot loop alternating between Recovery logo and MIUI startup logo. I got into fastboot again and flashed TWRP trying the same, but without joy. Tried another recovery and multiple versions of Xioami.EU ROM all with same fate. Finally got hold of an old fastboot ROM from Xioami.EU and flashed with MiFlash tool and it flashed successfully without issues. Assuming all was well, I tried flashing ROM via recovery which either gets stuck at MIUI logo or recovery. Boot loader in unlocked and decrypted. I tried flashing SHRP recovery, Magisk, wiping data etc as well to rule out any issues, but the problems remain.
Any ideas as to what's happening?
If I understood right, recovery ofox is working.
So reboot to it
Format data with yes
Reboot ofox
Flash ROM
Flash magisk recommend
Format data again with yes
Reboot system and give time to boot, could be more than some minutes but I think not more than 20
For those who might face similar issues.
According to Orangefox website, 'note that you should not restore a backup of the persist image, unless it proves absolutely necessary'. I may have checked it in recovery during restoration which probably destroyed the partition.
Fix:Installed TWRP via flashboot, formatted all data(not wiped) and installed ROM then formatted again and it booted.
