Hopefully someone knowledgeable eventually helps but your data loss situation is easily circumvented by things like a cheap microSD card or an OTG pendrive. Those two are not touched by ODIN and you can just copy back everything in some minutes.
There are two or three good methods of rooting your device with Magisk on this forum, but they all require using ODIN.
As for TWRP, it may happen but everyone needs to understand this. This device has been out for quite a while now. No experienced devs from XDA have taken any interest in it. Why do I claim this? We have no TWRP and no custom ROMs yet. There are people on this forum who are trying to come up with a working TWRP. I hope they succeed. But I expect that this is as far as development on this device will ever go. I'll be happy if someone proves me wrong.

Hi, I just noticed you have to flash with a pc every time with roms with this phone. Is there no way to flash roms with twrp? And if so how come? Search function if completely broken so I can't search if this has already been asked
Which exact model do you have? On my XT2041-4 I had no issue just doing "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.4.0-0-sofia-test9.img" and replacing the recovery without problems. Although people with differing models have reported touch screen issues (although some suggest plugging in a usb mouse to bypass them).
So if you can get TWRP installed there shouldn't be any need to use a computer anymore, although its not such a big hasstle really how often do you flash a new ROM when you are away from your computer? As for the backup/restore function it is unreliable with the G Power.
Not sure about model but its the eu version XT2041-3 I think?
Anyway, I had intalled a newer version of twrp and that's why I had issues. I installed the one you suggested and now it works so thanks a lot! I saw a few people say recovery was bad for this phone so that's why I thought it wouldn't work. So again thanks!

Glad it works for you, what they mean by bad I guess is the bug I mentioned on some models, and the backup/restore function not working properly with encrypted data. You will also have to reflash the original recovery if you want to apply an OTA update.
Forgive the intrusion, but I believe in his original post Tronicdesu asks a valid question which remains unanswered. It seems to me he's asking about flashing ROMs, not flashing TWRP.
You can indeed flash TWRP using a PC and then use TWRP when detached from your PC. But what can you do with TWRP besides flashing modules and wiping data and such? Can you flash a new ROM? I'm pretty sure you cannot. Can you backup your phone? Maybe not. But I'm not 100% sure on either count.
Most OP installation instructions in these ROM forums describe using your PC to install their custom wares. This is a far cry from the good old days of downloading a ROM, a new Gapps, then firing up TWRP. Remember CWM?
It seems to me custom ROM flashing is dying a slow death from complications introduced by Project Treble. Perhaps Treble made life easier for vendors wanting to update their existing phones with (mostly non-existent) ROMs. But lightly-committed enthusiasts have a devil of time installing a custom ROM nowadays.
In the case of Motorola, it doesn't help when they sell ninety-nine variants of the same hardware to retail customers, and more to a dozen different carriers.
I just bought my new Moto G Power 2020 from Amazon. I love the hardware. But when I look at custom ROM options and the steps needed... Crikey! Do I have to stand on one foot and stick my finger somewhere?
Forgive the rant, am I barking up the wrong tree here?
As for the backup/restore function it is unreliable with the G Power.

I'm not trolling here. I don't know what to do with my fingers! Bite them?
So far my device is magisk rooted and unlocked, with a few run of the mill tweaks here and there. Is anyone aware of this device supporting custom recoveries after unlocking? I suspect TWRP might work with minimal modification if any, but I haven't yet tried to flash anything beyond magisk and figured I would ask for other people's experiences here before I attempt to do so.
Thanks!

Somebody help i also have a new phone samsung a11 and successfully rooted it with magisk unlocked bootloader and rom that i found on sammobile (same model same CSC) and i want to also know if its possible getting the TWRP on a magisk rooted device without having any trouble
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DydHY_Q_paR4QcLhhyE8ih3hYZpqK3RM/view?usp=drivesdk is the device tree with a bootctrl error right now I don't have time to keep working on it for a while but if we get it working we can build ROMs and twrp
Working TWRP but very unofficial! But very useful!
Hi, so I just got this phone and I see there's not much on the postings like with links to a working TWRP, in particular. So I did some digging around and experented, and found this TWRP. It's from the Moto G9 Play (guamp). But it works, at least...

Hi Everyone,
Just wondering if there has been any update about custom recoveries for pixel 6. I've been checking the TWRP website and what not but there no info on the subject that I can see.
Just curious to know if anyone else has heard anything about custom recoveries yet
I asked about on one Telegram, I think that TWRP is out-of-date for newest Android version (main dev is on hiatus)

TWRP for Android 11 only came out in late 2021. It should come soon for 12. No ETAs obviously but they have a chat here: https://rebrand.ly/teamwin-recovery-zulip-community and make announcements here: https://twrp.me/
Thanks guys, it's good to know that it might still be a while away hopefully not too long. It does have some good features so fingers crossed it's sooner rather than later.

That won't help on a system that has boot issues.
there was a custom recovery ( lineage recovery i think) that came with a custom rom. i was reading about the rom a few weeks back(forget where), but the developer would not release the recovery separately.
so really there is no reason why TWRP or some other custom recovery could not be developed.
but with the lack of roms on XDA and limited custom roms elsewhere, i feel that the pixel 6 will have very very little support.

I have a question that is probably really stupid. Twrp and other custom recoveries allow installing custom roms, staticos and the like are out. How do they do it without a custom recovery?

You push it as a zip file on fastboot. They're is dotos, deep, statixos, grapheneos, protons, crdroid etc for device
So basically bypassing the recovery altogether.

The feature I miss most is adb and having access to the decrypted file system. Decryption was always a problem for twrp; I used to unset my phone unlock method to get around that.

I miss having the ability to do a complegte image of your phone. Comes in handy when you get stuck in a boot loop and have to do a factory reset. Is there any other program that can do a full backup like TWRP?
I really do not see the need for a backup of andoid on the Pixel 6.
Backup your data.
There are several ways now days to restore the Pixel 6 with Android 12 and above.
adb and fastboot are your friends.
Kernel manager apps have a flash tool built into them.

i cant tell you how many time when i was away for vacation or on a trip where i have flashed a rom on my S7. even a few times when some new software borked my phone and i could boot to recovery and RECOVER my device.
you can go to the custom kernel posts here and look at how many people have soft bricked their phone in April with a bad kernel. with a TWRP recovery they could have flashed a backup and never left their chair.
how can anyone say that more tools to fix things is in anyway a bad thing.

Devs r working on it now but the Oscar TWRP can be used temporarily if you just have to have TWRP before it's finished but take this into consideration that it won't work perfectly because it's for the CE2 lite which is the euro sister to the N20. I recommend copying your stock boot image to your inactive slot and flashing the Oscar TWRP to the active slot and use TWRP for whatever u need it for then change slots in TWRP to get back to system... This is a temporary workaround.. there's an app you can download to switch slots from Android too but you need the bootctl magisk mod

Ok well maybe it will be longer than I thought. Nobody left whos very interested in working on it. I don't really have the time for it any more. Anyone who is interested can either copy their own boot image to the inactive slot and flash Oscar TWRP to active so magisk and such flashes correctly then switch active and boot off the inactive slot. You can use magisk bootctrl mod along with an app that switches active slot from Android to boot to TWRP without a PC and then change slots in TWRP to get back to android and always keep a good copy of ur boots image on the sdcard and never forget to flash your stock/patched boot image in TWRP to the inactive slot before rebooting if you flash anything that flashes over both slots. .....OR find Spector and others in TG or on GitHub and see if they wanna work with u to get TWRP fixed for our device... Or you can find a fork of Spector's Oscar TWRP that says experiment for N20 and you can use/experiment/continue on our efforts. Shout out to Scrad, JuiceBox, Spector, pjgowtham, the guys in CE2 liteband Nord groups, and many others who have devoted so much time to learning and working with me on this and answering so many questions and giving advice.. Shout out to PizzaG who tried his best to teach me and work on a device he has no experience with and to Eduardo for the initial attempt. Shout out to Ghetti for being Ghetti, if he ever sees this he will know what I mean. If I left anyone out I apologize but you know who you are and I thank you. Someone got me banned on TG probably related to this device and my refusal to help when people start acting like Im obligated to help them and act a monkey . so I'm done pushing anything out for it or spending any more effort on it. Good luck everyone. I may check in from time to time but I've wasted the last 7 months learning more than I ever thought I needed to know about android and OnePlus. Also just to note, the N20 experimental fork of the Oscar TWRP has the GN2200 kernel dumped from a July patched boot image along with dtbo and some other things, you can do a diff to see what got swapped out from Spector's fork if anyone wants to play with it. Everything works except booting to system in the OSCAR TWRP on the N20 and I haven't been able to try to build the TWRP I was experimenting with so I don't even know if those changes fixed it. If anyone wants to be the guinea pig and try it be my guest or if someone wants to build it and post it I will test it one of these days

Oscar sadly even when used on your non acrtive partition has limitations that a device specific TWRP will hopefully address.

Hello, just bought the One Plus Nord N20 unlocked version with the intent of rooting it and installing a ROM. I haven't turned it on because I don't want it to upload the latest security patch and make itself unrootable, so I have nothing to backup. Ideally I would want to install e/OS, but have not rooted nor unlocked the bootloader of a device since 2012, so I essentially know nothing. Can someone please explain if:
- Is this is possible?
- If it is, is it a bad idea?
- Is the GSI for e/OS absent for this phone, and is this an issue?
- Is using a GSI a placeholder until a true custom ROM is made?
- Should I wait until the process is more mature?
- I am told to wait until I know what I am doing. Where should I learn / practice since there is still little documentation for this specific phone?
Thank you for your time!

If you think you don't need a backup because "you've not turned your phone on yet", you should probably think twice about trying to flash custom software. Especially GSI...

if you decide to use the security patch it came with stock then be sure not to connect tp the internet at all because once its unlocked and rooted and downloads an update dsu sideloader will not work until that update is dealt with and system updates wont work while bootloader unlocked and definitely not going to work if any partitions are modified(not stock such as magisk patched boot image). im not sure about the september update but some did have issues with the august patch although others were successful so it may have just been user error. my suggestion is to just put dsu sideloader and a prerooted gsi on an sdcard or transfer via pc/usb cord to internal storage but don't connect to the internet and use that to gain root long enough to pull your full stock partitions backups. this would be playing it safe. then ifnyou want you can relock your bootloader and update to september/newest and pull another full backup so you have it in the case that ypur successful and if not then your bases are covered to downgrade and downgrading will be as easy as simply reflashing all the stock images you pulled the first time though you shouldnt have to reflash ALL of them but in case you want to / need to then u have them. I cant stress backups enough. I use Partitions Backup & Restore by Wanam from playstore or wherever u want to download it unless u prefer to dd everything but i like the gui its just easier. read my post on how to root any n20 as there are somegood tips there and a great response detailing the procedure and dmtec also posted a much more detailed guide. i still havr a device on May patch and the other on July
