Install root with comandline only

I have a Nexus 5X on the Developer Preview 5 and twrp can't mount the data partition to flash SuperSu so could I flash SuperSu using the command line only

It can't mount the /data partition because your probably encrypted. I'd recommend unencrypting before proceeding on the N Previews as I constantly had problems encrypted.

Okay thanks I'll try that

So I would have to flash factory then root then disable encryption then return to the developer preview correct?

No you'd run fastboot format userdata which wipes your ENTIRE INTERNAL STORAGE beware. Make backups.

So the developer preview doesn't force encryption at boot?

Or would I format user data then flash supersu then boot into N 5

How to go from OOS 5.0 to Stock Nouga

How to go from OOS 5.0 to Stock Nouga

Since you've made the spelling error twice, its Nougat, not "Nouga.".
I think the best way you could do it is flash the special Open Beta build on the Open Beta thread and then flash the stable build zip.
Whichever way you do the reversion, you will lose partial data, as N and O do not support each others app installations.

If you are unlocked bootloader, flash twrp 3.1.1-2 and clear dalvik data cache and system, and just flash them through twrp
dont use twrp 3.2.0-0 because you cant install magisk, it shows installed but magisk doesnt seem to be recognized in apps
I've just done that, and everything seems working flawlessly

Does your solution avoid erasing internal storage? Because that's the part that's preventing me as it can take too long getting my backups into the phone again.

i never format my internal sdcard partition
it's taking too long time to backup and restore it again
as i said, only format dalvik cache data and system thru twrp and you're good to go

download special edition nougat revert zip file and flash it via recovery
http://oneplusroms.s3.amazonaws.com...337224&Signature=BEA4IHd/rVFqoPd2gh7EvwaoSeg=
notes :
The build will wipe app and cache data, but Internal Storage will be saved (ie: pictures and files)
Users who revert their device back to the special build can still OTA update the device to Android O build at a later date.
Steps to revert:
Download special build
Copy to Internal storage
Reboot to recovery Mode to install
Choose “Install from Local”
Choose the downloaded build to install

[HELP] [URGENT] ONLY OxygenOS not Booting up !!!!

Hi guys
I am having a weird issue , I am able to flash ANY custom ROM ( mark my words "any") be it skydragon os, havoc os, lineage os but I am unable to flash OxygenOS (tried 5.0.7 and 5.0.8) . When I start the first boot after flashing the OOS zip file, it always get stuck on boot animation and the animation goes on forever. Please Help !!!!!
Note:
- Have tried with different versions of TWRP but no success
- Always Did a clean install
- When after being stuck at boot animation for 40 mins , i FORCE restarted my phone to recovery and found that all system files and folders have been made as normally so i think there was no error in flashing process but still ROM not booting up.
Also:
- If someone has successfully booted the latest OOS from scratch ( I mean clean install) so please can you provide your ( links !)
1. TWRP file
2. OOS zip file

If you're coming from a decrypted data partition and then flash stock OOS and nothing else, it will re-encrypt your data. This could take a long time.
I recently did some testing of TWRP for fixing formatting and decryption (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...al-twrp-touch-recovery-t3742894/post78339714) and I did a totally clean install of OOS including formatting the data partition.
I used a TWRP version from this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...al-twrp-touch-recovery-t3742894/post78332159. The one I used is the very last one which is described as:

Exactly How Much Time can the re-encryption process could take?? Cause I gave it good 1 hour
Also to make sure i am getting it right , you mean to say that i should use the TWRP file you mentioned below your statement
"-------update 2" or is it some (img file) that i need to flash through TWRP

To Avoid Any Further Confusion , Could You Give me step by step instructions for what to do , please?
Please also give me details to which TWRP to use and all the configurations ( like ext4 or f2fs on system or data , whether to use format button, or advanced wipe) all that! Thanks in advance

Issue solved !!
How I solved ?
1. Using TWRP 3.2.2-0 I first Formatted data.
2.Then used advanced wipe to clean everything.
3.Then using change file system option in WIPE category changed my "data" partition from whatever to f2fs.
4.Then changed back to ext4.
5.Then changed back to f2fs.
6.Using PC transferred OOS zip file (5.0.8) to internal storage.
7.Flashed The file
8.Bingo !!! Phone booted up without a problem
Thanks @BillGoss , your provided links helped alot, though i used nothing from it but they helped me to recognize what the problem was, it was i think an encyption as well as changed file system format issue due to my previous flashing of pie roms.:good:

[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL][OneUI3.1] TWRP 3.5.1_10.0 For Samsung M51

I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKED DEVICES, DATA LOSS, OR THE WORLD WAR III...
FLASH THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
ALWAYS READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING ANYTHING CAREFULLY.
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, ASK IN THE COMMENTS BELOW OR IN THE TELEGRAM GROUP FOR HELP. OTHERWISE, DON'T BLAME ANYONE OTHER THAN YOURSELF
Bugs
-Userdata decryption is not working. You can flash multi disabler (check this before flashing) to disable encryption or use an external SD or USB OTG for putting ZIPs and IMGs on it in order to flash them
- Data backup is not working due to device encryption
How to Install
0. READ F.A.Q section first here
1. Unlock your bootloader
2. Boot to Odin mode
3. Check AP box and select TWRP tar file
4. Hit start
5. Reboot to TWRP and flash multi disabler if you want (check this before flashing it)
6. Have fun
Download
TWRP 3.5.1_10 - Beta 2
Multi Disabler
Sources
TWRP device tree
Kernel source

Change Log:
Beta 2 - 24th of March 2021
- Update to latest kernel 4.14.190
- Fix MTP on the latest kernel
- Clean up dynamic partitions
- Released kernel 4.14.190 source
Beta 1 - 20th of March 2021
- Initial Release

F.A.Q:
What is data encryption and why doesn't it work on TWRP?
Samsung M51 uses file-based encryption that encrypts the user data partition.
By default, TWRP can't decrypt user data partition, which makes it impossible for us to access the internal device storage from TWRP or recovery MTP, which means you can't put ROM files on your internal phone storage and flash them from there.
What is Multi disabler and how does it affect your phone?
- Multi disabler disables and removes the encryption on the data partition, which makes it possible for you to access your internal storage from TWRP or recovery MTP. thus, making it possible for you to flash files from internal storage.
- Removing the encryption on your device's internal storage makes it possible for you to access your files from recovery directly, which makes it possible for anyone to access your private files without your permission from recovery.
- All of the above means that your device will be less secure. So if you care about device encryption then don't flash the multi disabler and use a USB OTG or a sdcard to flash ROMs, which I recommend. Otherwise, flash the multi disabler at your own risk!!!
- FLASHINF MULTI DISABLER REQUIRES PERFORMING A FULL DATA WIPE WHICH MEANS YOU WILL LOSE YOUR DATA. SO BACKUP YOUR DATA BEFORE FLASHING IT.
My device keeps rebooting to recovery after flashing TWRP, why?
Most probably you will need to wipe your data partition and flash multidisabler
Data backup is not working even after flashing multidisabller, why?
Current multidisabler still can't fully disable FBE encryption, which means that TWRP can't read data partition at all, hence creating backups will always fail.

Reserved just in case

Thank you so much for your efforts,
Does backup, restore, work smoothly in this version of twrp? Does it fully restore after making a backup? Or are there still mistakes?
In Twrp 3.4.0 Data backup is not loading. Nonoperating. But the system is loading.
Oh, thank you, thank you.

Currently I have no working ROM so I can't test back and restore functionality. But backing data should be working.. don't take that for granted tho..
It would be great if you can test that and report if it's working or not, or wait until I or someone else test that.

thank you for your efforts. i installed this twrp and flashed mutlidisabler. also formatted data before reboot. Unfortunately twrp does not allow to create backups. Cannot unmount system partition etc...Your android 10 TWRP version is creating and restoring backups allright. So for now have to continue using android 10!

prerooting won't solve encryption issues. Maybe when TWRP can be build using android 11, we can fix encryption issues or at least partially fix it.

Nope, but you may need to install multidisabler to prevent the phone from reverting back to stock recovery. Don't formate the data after flashing Multidisabler and see if the phone boots or not

I didn't rename it, so that's why it didn't work with Odin. But as I said, I managed to flash it with fastboot anyway. But it still won't backup, probably because data is encrypted.

Why use TWRP when you have Lineage Recovery? Lineage Recovery is better.

Backup option work?

Plzz make for LTE variant

Just made a version for the LTE variant (modified prop.default).
Issues I've found:
Encrypted data partition can't be mounted.
LineageOS fails to install ota updates, because update zip is stored in data partition.
Backup option is not working correctly unless data are decrypted.
Mind the gapps installer fails because it can't mount system_ext partition.
Tested on my SM-P615.

#3 I would much prefer to have backup than encrypted data, if that were an option. Is there a way to keep LOS from re-encrypting data? I know that in earlier versions, once you formatted the data partition, it didn't get encrypted again unless you flashed a stock ROM. Or is this a GSI thing?

To prevent lineageos from re-encrypt data open /vendor/etc/fstab.exynos9611 in an text editor, find a line which starts with "/dev/block/platform/13520000.ufs/by-name/userdata" and remove
fileencryption=aes-256-xts parameter (don't forget to remove also the comma!).
WARNING: That should be done after wiping. The instructions are device specific!

Let me see if I have the steps right. I already have LOS up and running. I flash TWRP and boot to it. Then format the data partition to get rid of encryption. Then edit as per the above and reboot. Is that right?

This is why Linux4 abandoned TWRP for the platform. TWRP seems so problematic! Everyone should switch back to Lineage Recovery. Data is encrypted for good reason on the devices. You don't need a backup option in recovery plus why use TWRP when you can use an official looking recovery? OTA updates on LOS Recovery aren't hideous with logs and it looks official and fits with Lineage! Use Lineage Recovery, NOT this crap excuse of a recovery. Lineage Recovery can be found on the official lineage website for the official version of 19.1 and the unofficial version for unofficial 19.1 can be found at lineage.linux4.de

TWRP is unsuitable for the device because /data is encrypted therefore backup won't work and decrypting data is unsafe.

I guess you neglected to read the post that tells you how to keep LOS from re-encrypting the data partition. I DON'T WANT IT ENCRYPTED!! I have been using Android devices for close to a decade without encryption and have NEVER had a problem. I have a belt. I don't need suspenders too. (And LOS when it was Cyanogenmod.)

Due to the issues with TWRP, Linux4 might block your recovery from being able to install LOS.
