Ok, I'm in TWRP. Now my goals are to install Magisk and have TWRP persist between reboots.

Every time I select and install magisk's zip file TWRP restarts.
Every time I reboot the phone TWRP needs to be fastbooted back...

Any ideas on how to tackle this?

UPDATE: magisk 24 was linked in the OP magisk 23 worked fine. Any reason to update?

Download and rename this file as .zip https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v25.0/Magisk-v25.0.apk
Then flash it via twrp reboot and rename it again to apk and install

Good evening.



I just tried to root a Oneplus Nord 2 5G (EU Edition) and got as far as:



fastboot flash recovery twrp.img



It always returns “error flashing partition” “volume full”



Unfortunately, the phone was upgraded to Android 12. Could that be the problem?

If so, how can I get back to Android 11 (bootloader is unlocked).

I do not want to fiddle too much with it, not to make things worse.



Thanks a lot for your help.

On Android 12 OnePlus removed fastbootmode so no unlocking nothing.
But how did u booted in fastbootmode on oos 12 i can't understand

 

[Audoghast]

Hello again.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Since I only flashed one phone more than 10 years ago, I followed everything by the letter.
The video clearly asked to update the system software (at the time to version 10). There was no mention of the disappearance of fastboot on version 12.
I cannot remember to which version I updated. I may still have version 11.

In any case fastboot works and adb commands are being accepted. It can also be put in fastboot via VOL UP, DN & POWER.
The last successful step was flashing the vbmeta image.

TWRP flashing results in “error flashing partition” “volume full”.

What shall I do now? Is there any test to run?

I am seriously at a loss here since I am sitting in front of a bricked phone.

There should also be a warning out not to update to version 12.

I would really appreciate your help and do not want to try out thousands of ideas from other websites.

Thank you again.

Downgrade from oos 12 beta 2 or stable to oos 11: The MTK client tutorial

All of us knows that we upgraded to OxygenOS 12 stable or beta but OnePlus didn't given roll back package so who are stucked on OOS 12 can now downgrade using this process. This is downgrade process by using relive dvd based MTK client Tutorial...

forum.xda-developers.com

No solution for that you need to revert back to oos11

Hi, I successfully followed this procedure but had bootloop problem with twrp+root a few months ago and decided to stay unrooted for some times, I found that root may be stable if I followed these steps : https://gist.github.com/Giovix92/c7e69123dbc51adf3f3a26f9c3c0208e#rooting. Can someone confirm that root is stable (no bootoloop) with this procedure ?

Patched boot image flashing replace u r stock boot imge and this twrp fashing of magisk also patches the stock boot image.
Nothing different

 

[gawain.j]

Thanks for your answer, so custom rom is the only way if you want to have stable root I guess!

Hi, thanks for the guide and help here. I followed the steps, and was able to unlock bootloader, flash vbmeta, but flashing recovery and then booting into it is failing because of error : "unknown reboot target recovery"







fastboot: usage: unknown reboot target recovery

Before that,

0. My goals are just rooting, and preferably passing safety net. TWRP is not necessary, but I used it because it was in the guide.
1. I have Indian version
2. Android 11
3. Build DN2101_11_A.11
4. When downloading TWRP from here, version twrp-3.6.0_11-0-UNOFFICIAL-denniz.img cannot find any mirrors, so I had to download version twrp-3.5.2_11-0-UNOFFICIAL-denniz.img
5. I am using Linux , and ubuntu provided android-tools-adb / android-tools-fastboot packages for ADB and fastboot
6. Error when rebooting into recovery

# fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Mr Vag had also posted similar error "unknown reboot target recovery" in this thread, but I didn't find any reply to it.

Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Hello everyone.

I had the „volume full“ error before and have now found the reason why which was quite embarrassing: my phone is a Oneplus Nord CE 5G and this is the wrong forum.
I do not know how I could overlook that but I did and I am sorry if anyone put in too much thought into my problem.
The TWRP.img file was wrong and hence the “volume full” message which appears in such cases.
The volume was not really full.

I will now move to the right forum here.

Thanks and goodbye.

I Have a Non Rooted Nord 2 And Have Stock recovery Installed. And Have Bootloader Unlocked How Do I Relock It Again? Please Help Me!

you wil need to reflash your stock recovery image, stock boot image for your current version, and a stock vbmeta.img again. Preferably via MTKclient you can check the thread below for instructions.

Patched boot image flashing replace u r stock boot imge and this twrp fashing of magisk also patches the stock boot image.
Nothing different

Just a little correction: it is, in fact, different.
By patching the boot.img, you'll avoid (as expected) flashing the magisk zip, that avoids permanent TWRP and other patches applied to the system directly. It's not only a boot.img matter, it's a general OS matter. Also, reduces the risk of boot failing since recovery stays fully stock at every reboot*. One thing less to care about.

Since it is kown that oplus likes to stop booting whenever root is available (hey there OPLUS_ROOT_CHECK), patched boot.img is the only safest way to root it, as of now. No bootloops, no problems.

* Note: this happens because, if the recovery is different and there isn't any patch for stopping this process, it'll get overwritten at boot with the stock recovery present into /system. Magisk tends to patch this process in order to NOT overwrite it.
