Oreo root for noobs?

[slimjimz81]

If this is already posted I apologise. I have been having bugs with apps and functions of Oreo on my g5 so I was trying to root it to see if that could fix the different issues I was having. None that were a deal killer just annoying. But I was wonder if there was a root guide for noobs for 8.0? Thank you in advanced.

Downgrade to 20a =>> unlock bootloader + twrp + root =>> upgrade to 30c

I did this
But after 30c (zip) upgrade i loose magisk+twrp
What am I doing wrong ? I flashed Los 8.1 without any issues but I want root for stock instead

After 30c (zip) upgrade you need flash magisk and delete "/system/recovery-from-boot.p".

Then reboot into the system.

Follow this guide:

Once you were able to downgrade and get into TWRP, flash this Oreo build but DO NOT LEAVE TWRP:

Rebooting after your flashed your Oreo ROM before you flash your root will result in losing TWRP.

After you flashed that, hopefully your still in TWRP, flash Masgisk. This is your Root.

I recommend picking up a Stable version.

I was a noob when I did this, it’s ok. Unfortunately I no longer owned the phone. Somebody stepped on it. I tried to write this as accurately as possible.

Answering my own question after research:
-20a is Nougat Android 7, H83020a. This is the only version that you can install TWRP on. Downgrading is possible.
-30c is Oreo Android 8, H83030c
