You should get the same results I got:
Long guide for newbies with Windows 10 [the same might be for Windows 7/8]:
1) Download the zip I have uploaded and extract it to a folder with your favorite archive manager [I use WinRAR] and open it
2) Hold Shift and Right Click on empty space in the folder
3) Left click on Open command window here or open command prompt here

Recovery 3.0.8 was taken from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...t/twrp-recovery-zuk-z2-standard-pro-t3415395/

Recovery 3.1 was found on official Lenovo Forums:

Q&A:
Q: I do the same steps you did, in command prompt after pasting your commands I get the following: "< waiting for device >
or I wait for long periods of time or I get a [ERROR] message
A: Chances are 100%, you have the wrong drivers or not drivers installed, most devices use their own drivers for fastboot mode or adb/fastboot commands
If you have a Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro like me, your device needs to be identified as "ShenQi Composite ADB Interface" in device manager.
Not "Android" or "Android ADB Interface" and because of that fastboot does not identify your device at all
Q: Why do you use 2 commands (fastboot flash and fastboot flash) instead of one?
A: I am not 100% sure but I think fastboot flash recovery, flashes the recovery image you have selected [permanently, until you flash a different one] in your device and you can boot into it anytime you want without using a PC
and the second boots your phone with the recovery image but does not flash it, meaning you keep the stock or the one you have flashed in the past.
So I use the first commmand to permanently flash the recovery and the second to boot the phone in recovery mode without using any phone button combinations to boot into, saves me the time and hassle.
Q: Why use Chinese Custom Recovery instead of an English one?
A: This recovery has Chinese and English Language support. However, if you go to the translated google forum link which I have posted below, the thread's title is: Z2 pro Brush] [zuk z2Pro] Twrp Recovery 3.10 update, support Andrews 7.0 7.1 7.1.2ROM
So I think, Recoveries need to also support the custom ROMS you want to flash, also it is taken from official lenovo forums and chances are they have added more features and fixes.
For example using 3.0.8 recovery I couldn't install LineageOS 14.1 custom rom, I was getting Error 7 when I was trying to flash
Q: I get Error 7 when I try to Flash a Custom ROM:
A: Flash 3.1 TWRP Recovery, the custom recovery you have flashed, does not support the custom ROM you want to flash.
Q: I no longer have open command prompt here after intalling Windows 10 Creators update, I have Open Powershell instead, help?
A: Read the following webpage:
http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/cmd-here-windows-10-context-menu-add/
It provides a registry fix which adds/restores "open command window here" in Windows 10 Context Menu
Q: Custom Recovery 3.1 is in Chinese, how do I change it to English?
A: See the following images
Tested on Windows 10 x64 Pro with Creators Update, should work for Windows 7/8 as well.

check again, the link is with decryption key.
I have double checked and made sure it was with the key.
I've tried again on Chrome,IE and Firefox but still get Decrypt message.
Do you copy and paste the link or you click on it?
Seems to me you copy and paste it.
Because the link is way too big, xda forums shorten it (notice the dots).
Click the link don't copy and paste iit
Finally managed to download it.
I clicked on the link in Chrome & it worked. Firefox didn't like it.
Thanks for the help.
fastboot claims to work, but doesn't
Code:
[email protected] ~/Downloads> fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash recovery twrp.img

Yet it goes back stock recovery. I've tried many variations of these commands, and always get the same results.

I am having problems with this Chinese twrp why not get fixed in the bootloader nor accept after even running without installing the program supersu via twrp
Hello All,
So originally I had TWRP 3.0 on my Z2 pro, and i attempted to just install the 3.1 img file from it(per another instructional video from the 7.1 mokee thread), and after installing the recovery file, my phone restarted, however now when I attempt to go into Recovery mode from the boot menu, my phone just goes to a blank screen.
I've tried to flash the image from CMD to see if i could essentially "re flash" 3.1 TWRP, but I always get this message(see attached image). What am i typing in wrong in CMD? As you can see, the directory name is right, as well as the fastboot code. I'm also IN fastboot mode on my phone already. I changed the file name of the folder containing the recovery from it's orginal name to make it shorter, but that should not matter at all. It seems as if CMD can't find the folder though?
Well XDA won't let me post a damn picture(how am i supposed to ask for help if i can't show people what im doing), so I guess if someone would PM me i can post the image.
People do you try to flash the recoveries right after unlocking your bootloader?
Because if you can't flash the recovery and it goes back to stock, it means you haven't fully unloxked your bootloader.
Make sure you run the last following command when you unlock your bootloader
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem unlock-go
Then follow my guide here.
Also bootloader unlock tutorial here:
https://zukfans.eu/community/threads/zuk-z2--unlock.62/
Its for Zuk Z2, but the instructions are also for Z2 Pro.

Any idea about what's happening with the situation in my post by chance? When I try to flash from CMD i get this text. "Z2 is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
"Z2" is the name of the folder that contains the recovery image, so it seems like it's not finding it.
which files about phone mobile data at a TWRP BACKUP ? i see a lot of files inside of a twrp backup . i need to learn that . thanks.

Use directory names without spaces. Like c:\zuk and perform all operations from there.

Erm, "Chinese dev" doesn't mean anything really. Don't you have a thread link, a github link, or anything in particular? It's almost like saying "Here an app", without really saying where it comes from. Kinda risky... Especially if it isn't the "Chinese dev" that shares it.
EDIT/// NVM, just was the source link... Sorry for that, was refreshing the wrong one...

I went to the source OP provided. It's 30 pages of people saying thanks...so I bit the bullet (after unlocking bootloader).
It works. Just flashed Magisk 13 beta using TWRP provided by OP.

I'm in the same boat, I like that it's done but the fact it isn't open-sourced and is provided by a sketchy Chinese version of a fake Oneplus site (take a look at the lack of SSL for example), I think I may hold off..
Thanks for sharing though OP, hope this might spark what we need to get the official version!

Maybe you need to delete recovery-from-boot.p from your system folder, and the twrp will be permanently

If I had OnePlus 5 I would have resolved the problem inside the twrp, but no device is impossible for me. A complete recovery will soon be released.
The recovery-from-boot.p is the file that restore stock recovery when you reboot your phone (It is in all android firmware)

did you restore your backup, after reboot . If yes, just uncheck boot when you restore and you dont need to format anything when flash recovery or kernel because these thing boot before system . For me twrp work good for me, the only thing is that i have flash supersu and when i want to switch to magisk, i delete all root on supersu app, and then impossible to boot on twrp, even after flash it with bootloader . The trick is to flash stock recovery from folder and then flash twrp .
Thanks

Latest update to guide: Jul. 5, 2020

Hi everyone!
Many users browse these forums coming from Google or YouTube and have trouble navigating between many guides and threads expecting a working knowledge of Android devices. Many may say that if you don't know what you are getting into, don't do it, but this warning is not followed by many people. Instead of having to deal with the pleas for help from lost users with soft bricked phones, I decided we need a 'megathread' with accurate, easy to follow instructions with correct grammar and concise descriptions.
This thread is constantly updated. Please inform me with a reply or PM if you want anything modified
Sections:
Unlock the bootloader (required for most other modifications)
Install the TWRP custom recovery
Install Magisk for superuser/root
Install an OTA update while rooted
Section 1: Unlocking the bootloader (Windows Only)
If your device is a T-Mobile version, you must first request an unlock token from this website to complete this section. Your device may also need to be SIM unlocked. Check your carrier website for details. Using the cable included in the box is also recommended.
Step 1: With your phone turned on, open Settings. Scroll down to the bottom and select About phone. Touch Build number quickly until a toast message (grey rectangle at the bottom of the screen) appears reading You are now a developer!. Go back one screen to the main settings list and select System. Select Developer options. Turn on the switch next to OEM unlocking. Scroll down a small bit and turn on the switch beside Advanced reboot. Scroll down a bit more and turn on the switch beside USB debugging. Go back to the home screen.
Step 2: Plug your phone into your computer with the cable supplied in the box. On your phone, look in the notifications for a message that says: "Android System Charging this device via USB." Touch the notification once to expand it and again to open it. Choose File transfer from the list. Download and extract this zip file by right clicking it, clicking Extract All, then Extract. (File Credit: Google) This file contains the official ADB and Fastboot binaries. Open File Explorer and navigate to This PC. Under Devices and drives, click on the CD drive labelled with a bunch of numbers. Click on OnePlus_USB_Drivers_Setup and click yes in the User Account Control popup. Click Ok then Install, then Finish. Navigate back to the extracted ADB and fastboot files (the folder will likely be named platform-tools). With this folder open, hold shift and right click on the blank space. Click Open command window here or Open PowerShell window here. Unlock/wake up your phone. Type in the terminal window on your computer followed by the enter key
Code:
adb devices
A prompt should appear on your phone. Click Ok. Type followed by the enter key
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Your phone screen should show the OnePlus logo as well as the words FastBoot Mode briefly. Type followed by the enter key
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Warning: This next step will wipe your phone. On your phone, use the volume down key to select Unlock the bootloader and then the power key to select. Your phone will then be wiped and restart automatically.
Step 3: Follow the phone's initial setup exactly how you would if you were setting up a new phone. Restore any backup you have now. Once completely set up, follow the instructions from Step 1, ignoring the OEM unlocking switch. I also recommend typing this followed by enter
Code:
adb devices
A prompt should appear on your phone. Click Ok.
Your device is now Bootloader Unlocked.
Section 2: Installing TWRP (Windows Only)
Your bootloader must already be unlocked, and you must be on the latest version of OxygenOS. Using the cable included in the box is also recommended.
Step 1: With your phone turned on, hold the power button and until the reboot options menu appears on the right side. Click Bootloader. Plug your phone into your computer with the cable supplied in the box. Download these two files (File 1 for Android 10, File 1 for Android 9, File 2), which now work on both the OnePlus 7 Pro and OnePlus 7. (File Credit: @mauronofrio and Team Win Recovery Project). Put these files somewhere accessible, such as your Desktop.
Step 2: Open the folder with your ADB and Fastboot binaries (the folder will likely be named platform-tools). With this folder open, hold shift and right click on the blank space. Click Open command window here or Open PowerShell window here. Type in the terminal window
Code:
fastboot boot
followed by a space. Drag the image/img file you downloaded called twrp-3.3.1-79-guacamole-unified-Q-mauronofrio into your terminal window. The resulting command in your terminal window should read something like this
Code:
fastboot boot C:/Users/Arden/Desktop/twrp-3.3.1-79-guacamole-unified-Q-mauronofrio.img
If it does, click the enter key.
Step 3: On your phone, enter your PIN/Password/Pattern if requested. You should now see a screen with grey boxes. This is the TWRP recovery. Click Advanced, then ADB Sideload, then swipe the bar at the bottom to the right. On your computer, type
Code:
adb sideload
followed by a space. Drag the zip file you downloaded called twrp-3.3.1-79-guacamole-unified-installer-mauronofrio into your terminal window. The resulting command in your terminal window should read something like this
Code:
adb sideload C:/Users/Arden/Desktop/twrp-3.3.1-79-guacamole-unified-installer-mauronofrio.zip
If it does, click the enter key. On your phone, you will see some text scrolling in a black box. Once the button appears on the bottom right, click Reboot.
Your device now has the TWRP custom recovery.
Section 3: Installing Magisk
You must already have TWRP installed to complete this section.
Step 1: On your phone, download the Magisk installer zip (File Credit: topjohnwu). If you are not already in the TWRP recovery, hold the power button and until the reboot options menu appears on the right side. Click Recovery.
Step 2: Enter your PIN/Password/Pattern if requested. You should now see a screen with grey boxes. Choose Install and navigate to the folder you downloaded the Magisk file to. Select the Magisk file (likely named Magisk-20.4.zip) and swipe the bar at the bottom to the right. Once the button appears in the bottom right, click Reboot.
You now have Magisk root.
Section 4: Installing an OTA update while rooted
You must be rooted to complete this section.
Step 1: If you have any themes installed, such as Renovate ICE, Swift Themes, RoundyUI, or Substratum themes, remove them before continuing. Remove the Call Recording Enabler module if you have it. Restart if needed.
Step 2: Click on the system update notification. If it does not appear, open Settings, scroll to the bottom and click System, scroll to the bottom and click System updates. Click on the Install or Download and Install button and let it complete. Do NOT click Reboot.
Step 3: Open Magisk Manager and click the hamburger menu in the top left (3 horizontal lines). Click Downloads and then click the search icon (magnifying glass) in the top right corner. Type "TWRP" and click enter. Click the download arrow beside the module named TWRP A/B Retention Script. Do NOT click Reboot.
Step 4: Click the back button in the top left, followed by the hamburger menu in the top left as well (3 horizontal lines). Click Magisk and then click the top Install button, followed by Install again, then Install to Inactive Slot. You may now click Reboot.
You now have updated your phone's OxygenOS. Reinstall any modules or themes deleted in this process if they are compatible.

Great idea, very thorough!
You forgot the very first step, which is to get sim unlocked. Without this OEM unlock will be greyed out

I am curious about this step. For most all time with a phone that has an unlockable bootloader the command has always been:
Code:
fastboot [B]oem[/B] unlock
Why do we use 'flashing' instead of 'oem' in that command for this phone?

Good question, actually. I'm not entirely sure why the wording change, but the command has been different on close to stock devices since the Nexus 6P/5X. If someone more knowledgeable could explain, that would be great

On earlier OOS versions, the command "fastboot boot" is broken, and this won't work. Process in that case is to flash a patched boot image, root with Magisk, and then flash TWRP like a Magisk module.
Your method works for those that have updated to more recent OOS versions. However, there are folks still out there with older OOS versions, where "fastboot boot" won't work (don't know the cutoff exactly).

Thanks for the info. I'm not going to add the patched image way, as extracting the boot.img is annoying and I'm trying to avoid methods that rely on someone else providing files. However, I'll add a note to the TWRP install section asking for 9.5.7 minimum as everyone should be on that update by now
I hope this gets stickied. Thank you for the guide

For me also...the right command seems still fastboot oem unlock
Is this method applicable to all versions ? Im getting the GM1910: China version , I have used this method when i had my OP6 so i just have to get the correct TWRP version, if the IMG boots the TWRP i guess the zip will be good to go when flashing .
Cheers

I confirm this. Tried this tutorial but was stuck at flashing stage. A YouTube video provided further assistance. Fastboot oem unlock worked.
I think it's great you're supplying these basics. Wish I had it when I first rooted first Android device (htc Evo 4g on sprint). Kudos.

I'm skeptical that the command "fastboot flashing unlock" is applicable for this device. I think it may just be a carryover from some other device(s). The original poster responsed that it is applicable to "close to stock devices since the Nexus 6P/5X" but never explicitly stated whether it even worked for him on the 7 Pro.
Far as I can tell "fastboot oem unlock" is the correct and only command on this, and other previous OnePlus devices (and is also the command that worked for me).
So i'm very very new to rooting, soon i'll got my hand on a mi 9t pro and i want to try root it.
I got some gist from reading the guide here and since i want to have OTA updates without the need to flash custom, i thought that rooting with Magisk without TWRP is a good option.
I do have some confusions regarding the method. So unlocking is obviously the first step, which i think is pretty straightforward. Then i need to root Magisk by patching a stock boot image, i assume this is the fastboot stock firmware of my current phone, correct me if i'm wrong.
Does doing it this way risk bricking my device? Usually people suggest to backup the current ROM with TWRP first before doing anything, or can i backup my ROM with other method?
What kind of precaution do i need to pay attention to? And is it actually recommended to do it this way?
yeah, no this has a high hard-brick risk i think. its safer to just flash TWRP and install it trough that, then you can always go back to stock recovery if you wanted to.

1. Download the fastboot ROM you currently have installed on your device.
2. Extract the boot image from downloaded zip
3. Keep 1 copy of boot image in your PC (For Backup, in case anything goes wrong)
4. Now copy the boot image in your phone's internal storage.
5. Install Magisk Manager App
6. Open and Tap Install
7. Select "Patch Boot Image"
8. Select the boot image you copied in your phone and follow the on screen instructions.
9. Now there should be a new .img file created in the download folder of your phone. ( I guess named something like magisk_patch.img, not sure of name but you do understand right?)
10. Copy that .img file in your PC.
11. Now connect your phone to your PC in Fastboot mode.
12. Open the folder where you copied it in your PC.
13. Now press and hold shift on you keyboard and right click on empty space in folder and select "Open Command Window Here".

Wrong forum, you have a Mi 9T, this is the 9T Pro forum.
Anyway, look here.
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
If viewing on a phone you'll probably need to view the page in desktop mode, otherwise you'll see a blank page.
In step 2 of the guide look for the link
★ Xiaomi Mi 9T Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download
It's not too far down the list.
Welcome to my thread. Today I am going to teach you how to install a custom recovery on the device and how to recover the original boot files on the phone to modify them. After modifying those files you will have root on the device. A lot of time and effort has been put into getting this to work. The custom recovery that we will be using is TWRP Recovery.
Note: Modifying your device will void the manufacturer's warranty.
All modifications made to your device are done at your own risk and you claim full
responsibility if the device is damaged or if data is lost.
First, we are going to enable OEM Unlock and USB Debugging. To do so, you will follow the steps below.
1. Sign in to your Mi Cloud Account on your phone.
2. Tap the “Settings” menu on your Mi 11 Ultra, then tap the “About Phone” option.
3. Tap the “MIUI Version” option several times until you see the “You are now a developer” message.
4. Tap the “Additional Settings” Menu, then tap the “Developer options” on your phone.
5. Activate the “OEM Unlock” option, then activate the “USB Debugging” option on your phone.
6. Tap the “Mi Unlock Status” option.
7. Tap “Agree” and then tap the “Add account and device” option on your phone.
8. Turn off your phone, then press the volume down button and the power button simultaneously to put your phone into fastboot mode.
9. Connect your phone to your PC via a USB cable.
10. Download the miflash ZIP file.
11. Extract the miflash unlock tool ZIP file. You will find the Mi USB Driver.exe file and the miflashunlock.exe file after extracting it.
12. Install the Mi USB driver on your PC.
13. Run the miflashunlock.exe file on your PC.
14. Tap the Agree button and then Sign in with your Mi Account after running the miflash_unlock.exe.
15. Click the “Unlock” button, then click the “Unlock anyway” button within the miflash tool to start the process.
16. Click the “Reboot phone” button after you see the “Unlocked successfully” message.
Downloads:
Unlock tool: https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
Additionally, we will need to have TWRP flashed to the recovery of the phone.
1. We will need to have ADB installed on the computer so download the 15 Second ADB Installer.
2. Run the ADB-Setup.exe.
3. Open a CMD terminal as an Administrator.
4. Type in the command: CD C:/ADB.
5. Type in the command: ADB Devices, make sure that there is a device showing up.
6. Download the TWRP.img to the ADB folder located on C:/ADB.
7. Make sure that you do not have a password or code lock on the device. There can not be any lock on the lock screen.
8. Type the command ADB Reboot Bootloader.
9. Type the command Fastboot Boot TWRP.img.
10. Navigate to the Advanced menu of TWRP and tap on “Install Recovery Ramdisk”.
11. Navigate back to the main menu then tap on Reboot and tap on Recovery.
Downloads:
15 Second ADB Installer: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...vers-15-seconds-adb-installer-v1-4-3.2588979/
TWRP image: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ztP266XjxteVk8pxcD7-sD-IxihmODPV?usp=sharing
Now we will copy the three boot files on the phone and make backups.
1. Navigate to Mount on the root menu or TWRP.
2. Select the System Partition and Data partition then go back to the menu.
3. Navigate to Advanced then Terminal.
4. Type the command dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img.
5. Type the command dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_a of=/sdcard/boot_a.img.
6. Type the command dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_b of=/sdcard/boot_b.img.
7. After all the commands have been entered you can now exit back to the system by rebooting to the system in the Reboot menu.
8. Next, we will install Magisk on the phone to modify the boot files, download the Magisk.apk file on your phone.
9. Open the apk and install the Magisk.apk on the device. You will have to enable Unknown Sources if you have not already.
10. Open Magisk and select install on the Magisk tab.
11. Under Method tap the Select and Patch a File and select the boot.img file.
12. Press the LET'S GO button after you have selected the file. (Make sure to note down the name of the Output file for each file).
13. Repeat steps 11 and 12 for boot file boot_a.img and boot file boot_b.img.
Downloads:
Magisk: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
Now we will flash the boot files to the phone and we will be rooted!
1. Copy the files you just made from the storage of the phone under /Internal shared storage/Download/(Filenames) to the ADB folder located on C:/ADB
2. Restart the phone and once the phone screen turns off hold the Volume Down button to boot into fastboot.
3. Now this is where it is very crucial to ensure you know what each file corresponds to for the boot files. Type in the command Fastboot flash boot (Modified file name for boot.img).
4. Type in the command Fastboot Flash Boot_a (Modified file name for boot_a.img).
5. Type in the command Fastboot Flash Boot_b (Modified file name for boot_b.img).
6. Then type the command Fastboot reboot
7. Load Magisk and verify that it is indeed installed.
8. Boom rooted!
I don't get this I rooted much easier by simply flashing magisk.
I downloaded magisk zip
I then booted into fastboot connecting my ohone to the pc
I booted into twrp from fastboot with the command "fastboot boot twrp.img"
From twrp I simply flashed magisk.zip wiped dalvik and ART cache and rebooted the phone
Root done!
My question is now how can I update without loosing data.
I was thinking of installing the new rom via miflashtool without wiping data and then reflash magisk. It should work right?

In my testing I couldn't get my phone to root with Magisk. I haven't tested that but it sounds like it should work.
Look it is super simple, it can be done on every rom with an unlocked bootloader (this must be obvious)
Download the latest magisk.zip file on your phone
Download the compatible TWRP for your device on your computer and put it into your ADB and fastboot folder and rename it "twrp.img" (make sure you replace the file extension with the ".img")
Reboot your phone into fastboot
Connect the phone to the PC
Run the check command "fastboot devices" to check if your device is listed
Then run the command "fastboot boot twrp.img"
Your phone will now boot into twrp recovery and there is no need to flash it and overwrite the original recovery
Now give twrp the permissions to look into your folder by unlocking it at boot (password of pattern depends on what you use normally for your phone)
Now since the twrp is chinese you must change your language into english (3rd button on the right then click on the globe on the up right and select the language you want)
Now go into wipe and wipe manually cache and dalvik
Now go into your system and search for magisk.zip, flash it and wipe again dalvik and cache.
Reboot your phone
Now when you boot you must have magisk through your apps, boot magisk and complete the installation process.
Reboot again and enjoy!

Hi, xNAPx !
Thank you for this tuto, but i have a problem :/
At this step, twrp is booting straight on the menu, no password asked, and so, no access to data :/
Do you have an idea please ?
(i'm using xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_21.12.8_v12-12-fastboot)
I believe this is a known issue, there is a problem on some versions of twrp with encryption, to me never happened. What kind of screen security do you have on your phone?

You can try 2 things, remove the screen lock protection or inject a different version of twrp, I never had this problem as I boot twrp via adb
