Which ROM did you try and flash / install?
Try upgrading your TWRP to the latest version too.

I used partition dl mode to flash the stock oreo rom over 7.0 to keep the root. Then i flashed custom kernal for stock 8.0 but it didnt work. I have done the same procedure before and it has worked like a charm. But it keeps on giving the encrytion error when i try it now

Odd. If I had to guess anything, it would be that not all the partitions were flashed when going from Nougat to Oreo.
I once flash a Nougat ROM from an Oreo ROM and I had the same encryption issue and lost everything.
That was the last time I would trust myself again and not do a backup.

Flash stock recovery from KDZ through patched LGUP & do a factory reset .
After stock recovery completes the wipe do a battery pull, flash TWRP via fastboot, format data, flash Kernel & Magisk & you should be back on track...

I tried that as well. With stock recovery is says data is corrupted and doesn't do anything. I think it might be a problem with patched lg up because when i use normal lg up to flash oreo it works. But I cant root then.

I would try changing to 3.2.3-4 TWRP and then trying the procedure again. It seems that the 3.3.0 TWRP does not decrypt properly sometimes.

In the same boat as OP

Hi
Looking for a way to keep TWRP and root ... any help appreciated
I've got a US996 with the same issue as the op. I have the latest TWRP 3.3.1-0. The phone was working fine until I upgraded twrp but I might have done a mistake resetting phone outside of twrp.
I can still get back into twrp but I haven't been able to install zip files without getting that decryption unsuccessful message when booting to system.
When getting back into TWRP using hardware buttons sometimes there is a prompt asking "keep system read only?" which I never chose and swipe to allow modification. I think this happens after
I pull the battery after getting the decryption unsuccessful message. There is a reset system that I could chose under the decryption unsuccessful message but I'm assuming that will make me lose twrp
...but if my phone is a us996 and is still
unlocked, would it matter if I did select it? Wouldn't I be able to reinstall twrp using adb again on a computer after Oreo is reinstalled?
To do Prowler_gr's suggestion which guide do I follow (sounds like I should do the second option)
"Flash stock recovery from KDZ through patched LGUP & do a factory reset .
After stock recovery completes the wipe do a battery pull, flash TWRP via fastboot, format data, flash Kernel & Magisk & you should be back on track... "

Thank you for any guidance on this...

Don't blame me if this goes wrong but I'm pretty much 100% certain that you mush press the rest button. This has happened to me a few times I'm sure. You won't loose twrp. Whatever resetting goes on in the background I don't think it's an actual Factory Reset.
Edit: Just to be clear you taking about a white screen with I think in dark blue or black text ENCRYPTION UNSUCCESSFUL and something like "reset phone" option directly under it, on the upper half of the screen?

Hi ezzony
Yes you are thinking of the right decryption unsuccessful page. I get it when booting to system
after installing Oreo and magisk 19 and having wiped everything (format data too). I will get the exact wording of it tonight
Thanks!

Soft bricked Zenfone 3 still have TWRP

I have a Zenfone 3 that while trying to unroot I have soft bricked. I can get into TWRP recovery, but after installing the tizen ROM, I can not boot into it, but can still access the TWRP recovery. Is there a toolkit or any suggestion you might have as to how I could fix this issue.

Do you have an official recovery? If yes, you can recover back your device again. Just use 'adb sideload <filename>' to do this.
I've also trying to unroot my device and end up in boot logo, but after flash the official ROM, it's finally work again. Also my data (/data) isn't formatted.

TWRP supports adb sideload but there's no point flashing stock recovery, TWRP is superior in every way.
Go into TWRP, plug in your USB cable and it'll mount your sdcard . Copy the firmware onto the sdcard and install it. Perform a wipe cache/dalvik and reboot.
How are you removing root?

I used a app called KingRoot while I was on the bus, it caused the phone to freeze, after about 10 mins I hard reset the phone and it has not worked since.
I tried to sideload the stock rom, but it will not accept it. I think I may have something to do with the bootloader. I think my TWRP recovery could be in the Android partition, but I am unsure.

Forget sideloading it, edit the update script in the firmware, see this
thread, part 1, step 2-4.
Then copy the firmware to your sdcard (like I mentioned above) and install it. You can use the guide here, tip #4. You should read the entire guide afterwards.
if TWRP loads when you select recovery, it's on the correct partition. You'll have to reinstall TWRP after you flash the stock Rom again as it'll update recovery as well. Then create an nandroid backup, tip #2 and you're set.

Hy Wang.. I followed your guide - modified updater-script, but I can't install the stock rom .zip from TWRP.
It says "can't extract updater-binary", I tried few times thinking that the file is corrupt, but the result still same.
FYI, I use stock ROM "UL-ASUS_Z012D-WW-14.2020.1709.68-user.zip", and TWRP 3.1.1.
Please help me if you have experienced it before. Thanks
@rzahunn
I've never had that error before and you're on the latest version of TWRP so I'm going to guess it has to do with your modification of the updater script.
You edited updater-script not updater-binary, correct? There are two files with similar names
There's a detailed guide by @kyle_l88 on how to return to stock.
Here's the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/development/how-to-to-stock-rom-recovery-zenfone-3-t3666223

TWRP Bootloop
Sorry if my reply is irrelevant, but I need some helps.
I am also using Zenfone 3, but stuck in TWRP bootloop.
I cannot flash using fastboot (not detected on PC), reflashing ROM doesn't help either.
I've tried all the possible methods I found on Google, such as dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota method but still has no luck.
Restoring backup would end me in TWRP too.
@Xytce
Are you factory resetting after you flash? Clearing cache and dalvik? It will take 5-10min to boot up initially after that.
Otherwise, try the guide Rizzed referenced.....as long as you have the correct firmware and TWRP flashes successfully, there's no reason it shouldn't work that I can think of.

How to update when rooted / custom recovery?

Hi guys, my phone is on oreo firmware 20A twrp and magisk to get root access. Just got a notification that there is an update available (20b).
Now what is the most efficient way to update without losing all my data/settings?
What I did was flash stock 20b kdz (there is no .zip to flash in twrp) and you can do a backup with lg bridge or with google account and then flash twrp, format data (when you flash stock kdz encryption is enabled again), flash all you need, and reboot to system and restore the backup or the google backup. With the google backup you won't need to set up to much.

I see. But that still involves a factory reset. I've always used Titanium Backup for apps etc. But it's still takes a lot of time... Is google backup any better than that?
What if I flash KDZ 20b with LG UP but as update! And then flash TWRP with fastboot and then immediately flash magisk without formatting data to remove encryption?

I flashed twrp with fastboot flash, but twrp showed a error with /data (that was because /data was encrypted) so you will need to format /data anyway.
Flash kdz with uppercut (update option) than re root installing twrp from adb and magisk from recovery (using sd card) no need to format data no factory reset!

Yes, without booting up to android, data will not be encrypted. Melina kernel stops the encryption also.
Thx for your suggestions, the following method worked perfectly and i kept all my data intact:
0. make sure magisk 16.4 is on your sd card
1. download and flash v20b.kdz with LGUP+Uppercut using "upgrade"
2. enable USB debugging and enter fastboot
3. flash melina twrp 3.2.1 with fastboot
4. directly enter twrp with button combo (hold power+vol down, release power when LG logo appears and immediately press and hold power again)
5. in twrp, don't do anything except install magisk. Ignore all errors then reboot.
6. profit

Have you tried to install melina kernel after installint magisk? Or after installint magisk, rebooting to system and rebooting to twrp solve all the errors of twrp?

No, I only did what I wrote earlier. From what I understand if you want things to work more or less in twrp you need to format data to remove encryption. My goal was to keep data, update and get root.
Anyone tried to unroot und flash stockrecovery?
Hi,
I got the same situation here. TWRP installed as recovery and magisk 16.0 installed for root.
My question: Does the unroot / auto-uninstall with magisk itself work on the h870? Can´t I then just fastboot flash the stock-recovery?
After that the OTA-Update should work! Should not?
Did anyone try this way already?
Regards

You could try. I never had success with unroot/reflashing stock recovery before OTA updates on other devices, but never tried with LG G6.
But really it's just easier to flash .kdz since you have to reflash twrp and magisk anyway, but that's just IMHO

Did i Just Brick My Phone?

I have the H910 Version.
I flashed the SuperV20 rom and the phone got stuck on the LG Screen. I pulled the battery and manually flashed Magisk. The phone still as getting stuck. So I was going to reinstall the ROM. I read that I may need an updated TWRP. I wiped my phone and went to flash and updated TWRP and when i flashed the img file i hit reboot to recovery and when it was going into recovery, the system crashed. What did i do wrong?

For safety, don't flash recovery without a working rooted rom, to keep an easy fix working.. Now since you still have the engineering bootloader, you should be able to pull the battery to get it powered down, then hold volume down while connecting to a PC to enter fastboot mode. Grab a good copy of my latest twrp . Open up a command prompt and run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery path/to/TWRP.img
. Then since your rom is broken, pull the battery after it's completed and then you should be able to get back into recovery and reflash a rom.

When I open TWRP, they asked for a password so i hit cancel and did a factory reset and that fixed it. I flashed Lineage 15.1 OS and when the LG Screen loads, the phone crashes.. Should i redo the LGUP and ROOT Process?

Did you do the regular factory reset, or did you format data? You need to format data if it was encrypted (it was if it was asking for a password in TWRP) going from anything stock based to lineage or vise versa.

Perhaps it needed the new TWRP, or perhaps it was being finicky about having something wipe or not.

'The System has been Destroyed' when installing TWRP zip in hotboot TWRP

UPDATE - Did not manage to find a way to get TWRP installed permanently but did manage to install Lineage OS 16 (which was my end goal) via hotboot of their recovery IMG, so happy with that at least! Appreciate any help given!
Not sure what I am doing wrong. have never come across this before!
I just completely reset my phone to stock via MiFlash
I then boot into TWRP recovery from Fastboot
I then install the TWRP installer in TWRP
I then reboot to recovery but get 'The System has been Destroyed'
I can still boot into the stock ROM
I can still boot into Fastboot
I just can't seem to get TWRP to install, I can only access it in hotboot
Any help would be amazing!

Never install twrp on stock pie. You'll get the same message. Hotboot it only.

From what I have tried it seems that it is a bug with stock pie, custom roms with pie and stock oreo don't have this problem.
Anyway, you can basically get the same functionality by hotbooting but it's less convenient.
I have TWRP installed and resurrection remix. Maybe their TWRP works for you, just check the instructions and give it a try.
I think you should install TWRP in both slot A and B for it to work.

Weird, it used to work for me when I was on stock pie.
I'm on a custom rom right now so I cannot test if it still works.
Sorry
I also have the same problem but now I'm on a custom rom and the TWRP without magisk works, but I would like to try an sGSI, on a custom rom does the procedure work?
Try another twrp
I'm here also had the same problem on mi A2 lite
But Rom run smooth and stable for a long time that I even forgot I have no twrp. Instead I backed up with titanium bk just in case. So ,Hotbooted with adb.... less convinient but u get to where u wanna flash though

After update to V11.0.4.0.QFJEUXM TWRP no longer available

Hi Guys,
yesterday the new update came out, great.
I of course immediately pulled the zip (source) and installed it with TWRP (source).
So far no problems.
After a while I realized that I no longer had root because the apps stopped working.
When I wanted to boot into the TWRP to reinstall Magisk, I unfortunately found that it was no longer available, but only stock recovery.
Well, I thought to myself and tried to reinstall TWRP (method-twrp-3.3.1-2-davinci-fix), which was fatal, because my cell phone only booted into the Fastboot.
Then I got my cell phone, set up again with the Fastboot method.
Now I'm back to 11.0.4.0 but unfortunately without TWRP and root.
Can someone please describe how I can get TWRP and root again on Android 10?
I am thankful for every help !!!
Same thing happening to me, no matter what I do, stock recovery keeps overwriting TWRP
Oh dear, that doesn't sound good.
I hope there will be a solution to the problem soon.
I don't want to do without TWRP and root.
I wanted to try it according to these instructions "https://miui.blog/redmi-k20/twrp-mi-9t-redmi-k20-vbmeta-mauronofrio/". But don't trust me, I'm afraid that it won't work and I can start all over again.
Flash official TWRP this morning with fastboot commands without problem.
1. reboot in fastboot mode
2. Flash recovery with this command "fastboot flash recovery yourrecovery.img"
3. Reboot in recovery with this command "fastboot boot yourrecovery.img"
Any problems here.
The fact that twrp is lost when flashing official rom (even thought twrp itself) is normal. You just have to reboot into bootloader and flash twrp again and it will be back.
Your problem here is that you are using an old and unofficial twrp build, that has problems on newer roms. Flash official twrp and you'll be fine

Check it out...
I finally got it
I did the following.
"V11.0.4.0.QFJEUXM" flashed in the TWRP and booted into the system, TWRP will be overwritten.
Now flashed TWRP "twrp-3.3.1-0-davinci.img" in Fastboot and booted into Recovery (TWRP).
To be on the safe side, I had the cell phone booted again into the TWRP in the TWRP.
Then I flashed Magisk "Magisk-v20.3.zip".
Booted cell phone into the system and everything works.

To install TWRP, is it neccesary to wipe Data (or something else)?
And if Data must be wiped, does it mean that Data will no more be encrypted as originally by MIUI?
I have 11.0.4.0, rooted by Magisk (Magisk installed simply by patching and flashing boot.img, did not need TWRP for, did not wipe Data, etc) and I possibly want to have TWRP but don't want to loose encryption of Data, Widewine L1 and so

You don't need to wipe anything to install a custom Recovery (like TWRP).
TWRP can handle ROM encryption, you just need to install a correct TWRP, and version, for your current MIUI / Android version.
A custom Recovery doesn't change Widevine level.
And TWRP is useful in case of bootloop (because of an installed Magisk module, by example) or if you want to easily reinstall Magisk after ROM update.

TWRP can handle ROM encryption, you just need to install a correct TWRP, and version, for your current MIUI / Android version.

Ok thanks, so starting from v11.0.4.0 QFJEUXM, rooted by Magisk (did not wipe Data or so, just patched and flashed boot img), is it ok just to flash (from Fastboot) twrp-3.3.1-0-davinci.img, downloaded from the official site https://twrp.me/davinci/twrp-3.3.1-0-davinci.img
Maybe I could test first by
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-davinci.img

Yes, it should work.
But I prefer OrangeFox Recovery.

Something is fishy. IMO, if that official TWRP is really ok for 11.0.4.0, then it should correctly boot by:
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-davinci.img
But phone rebooted into the dark.
TG, I didn't really flash with, so by long pressing Pow it rebooted to system.
Tried again, no avail
Edit:
Tried the same fastboot boot with
twrp-3.3.1-12-davinci-mauronofrio.img and also OrangeFox-R10.1_1-Stable-davinci.img (obtained by unzipping OrangeFox), but it also reboots to dark and I have to long press Pow to reboot to system

Hi Guys,
yesterday the new update came out, great.
I of course immediately pulled the zip (source) and installed it with TWRP (source).
So far no problems.
After a while I realized that I no longer had root because the apps stopped working.
When I wanted to boot into the TWRP to reinstall Magisk, I unfortunately found that it was no longer available, but only stock recovery.
Well, I thought to myself and tried to reinstall TWRP (method-twrp-3.3.1-2-davinci-fix), which was fatal, because my cell phone only booted into the Fastboot.
Then I got my cell phone, set up again with the Fastboot method.
Now I'm back to 11.0.4.0 but unfortunately without TWRP and root.
Can someone please describe how I can get TWRP and root again on Android 10?
I am thankful for every help !!!

You can install twrp by All In One tool
You can find its thread here itself
I took the official TWRP. " Link "
Flashed in fastboat and then booted the phone with a key combination in TWRP.
With the Fastboot command it didn't work for me either, the cell phone remained black ...
