If you delete per_boot file backup will work.

I can't figure out how to properly flash ROM's on my Pixel sailfish... Here's the flow:
- Use the latest stock ROM "flash-all.bat" 2 times - for Bootslot A and then for Bootslot B
- Fastboot TWRP.img - Internal Storage is readable is not encrypted, files can be copied via MTP
- Follow custom ROM instructions to wipe Cache, System, and Data, reboot
- Fastboot TWRP again and BLAH - Internal Storage is not readable and I am back to "flash-all.bat"

I can dirty-flash custom ROM's if I do not perform the WIPE stage, I want a clean install of custom ROM's...

I would make sure to format data so the new ROM can create a new FBE policy, rather than just wiping.

Be certain to select all of the entries within TWRP, granted that you have already backed up your internal.

3.3.0-0 or 3.3.1-1?

I was only able to get TWRP 3.3.0-0 to work. The other newer versions of TWRP (up through 3.3.1-3) caused the screen to flash and the recovery wouldn't load after the TWRP zip was installed.

Have you attempted to flash TWRP the safe way - via fastboot?

Don't you need to flash Magisk again after each TWRP flash? That could be the issue...

I figured it out. I had to format internal memory and then it worked. TWRP backup failed for me with 255 error and I already checked for the "User 999" possibility, which did not exist. Multiple Users feature was turned off. So far I was only able to backup using Migrate-GPE App without errors.

Yeah, it appears you have to wipe internal storage for it not get encrypted, but then MTP in Recovery does not work... Basically, you have to sideload whatever ZIP files you want. Copy/paste does not work due to dead MTP, which causes copy/paste process in Windows to freeze.
