Trying to root but unsuccessfull

So I've installed TWRP properly I believe, when I try to flash supersu I get lots of errors on TWRP, what can I do? Also right now I'm in a bootloop please help
This is what I did, I did format data from TWRP so naturally I have no OS installed right now but I can't flash a ROM either since I keep getting Error 1 on TWRP. System partition will mount every now and then and then unmount

can you get screen shoot with other phone ? what is version of twrp you have now ? and phone locked or unlocked?

The problem is that I can't mount data

Unable to OTA or flash update for OP5

Hi, a while back I managed to flash the Open Beta 3 for the OP5 but I ended up losing my files because of encryption.
Anyways, I'm not able to OTA or dirty flash any updates. I've tried both stable OOS 5.0.2 and the Open Beta 5 updates.
This is the message I get: https://i.imgur.com/wigXV3f.png

unless you relock your bootloader you won't be able to update. i tried everything. make sure you backup your data before you relock bootloader beacause this process will wipe everything.
cmd code to lock bootloader - fastboot oem lock

Yeah that's really annoying, that's what happened the first time when I lost all my data.
What steps do you recommend for backing up? I have Titanium pro. So I would basically have to backup, relock, wipe, flash, root and restore?

Is there any way to root without losing everything?

As the titles says. I don't want to configure everything again

Yes

Doesn't unlocking your bootloader clear all data?

Seems to be like deadlock
Do as full as possible backup of your current system, apps, data.
Export it to external storage.
Unlock the boot-loader. /≥168hrs/
Install the same firmware.
Root your phone.
Restore the backup.

Why to install the same firmware?
After unlocking bootloader, he'll already get a clean system...

Because for me it always is better to start as clean as possible.

Can I get root access without wiping my data after unlocking bootloader?

I recently unlocked the bootloader and I already logged back into everything after losing my data and now I don't think I will be able to recover access to every account again so can I somehow get root access without losing data?

Make a backup with twrp or orangefox and then flash magisk. After reboot normally the phone is rooted or bootloop, then you have your backup
