I just rooted successfully but didn't install TWRP. Can I just boot back in through fastboot and install it now?

Yes, put the zip on your internal storage and boot into fastboot and then boot into the TWRP image and flash the zip.

Put the TWRP RC1 zip on the internal storage
Fastboot boot TWRP RC1.img
*Might have to do that a couple times for TWRP to properly decrypt.
Flash TWRP RC1 zip to apply it
That's how to get TWRP.
Your saying you did this and when you reboot system from TWRP it just reboots to TWRP?

Exactly. I can't boot into the system anymore. Google logo pops up and then straight to TWRP every time.

Almost sounds like you fastboot flashed TWRP instead of fastboot boot TWRP. Either way, I believe you will have to flash the factory image and start over. You could try fastboot flashing the stock boot image first to see if that helps.

When I try to flash TWRP, I'm getting the error "Too many links." I am flashing in download mode, trying to flash TWRP 3.1.1-1. I am currently in the latest firmware for Sprint.

Is Sprint U11 unlocked?
Are you using command: fastboot boot twrp.img ?

Yes, bootloader unlocked. I flashed the latest firmware (which, of course, overwrites the recovery), and I am using fastboot flash recovery twrp3111u11.img.

Try renaming to just twrp.img.
To boot TWRP, fastboot boot twrp.img - done in Bootloader mode
To install TWRP, fastboot flash recovery twrp.img - done in Download mode.
For both U11 and Pixel 2XL, I only boot it and don't install it.
You could try that if above install command no worky.

Umm....you do realize that I renamed the file? I use my own file-naming scheme to keep track of the TWRP images on my PC, named by TWRP version and product name.
I pass on some of my phones to family members, and I keep all of the latest TWRP files, with the exception of the Evo 4G LTE....that one had 2 different system partition setups, depending on the firmware version. I need two versions of TWRP for that one.

oh ok.
So I got my problem solved. Turns out that my driver's needed to be updated when I updated the firmware. Don't ask me why, but that seems to be the case. When I went to download HTC Sync Manager, I see that the file has a new version than the one I have saved on my PC.
Just something to keep in mind for you S-On users.
Hi all,
I've stupidly flashed OTA in TWRP and forgot to flash the TWRP installer afterwards. Is there a way within Android to force a slot switch on reboot?
If not I'll just have to fastboot boot TWRP.

I'm not sure sure if you can do it within android, but you can boot to fastboot mode and type "fastboot --set-active=a" or "fastboot --set-active=b" depending on which slot you want active.
Try flashify

I thought I read somewhere that flashify isn't set up properly for project treble (a/b slots)
Cheers for the replies. Sorted now, ended up having to use a computer to fastboot.
Flashify was updated back in 2015 as far as I can see, not sure it supports A/B partitioning that Oreo uses.
I loved Flashify, but no way in hell would I use it to flash anything on this phone.

can you not get into fast boot. Bootloader mode. Then you can fastboot Flash boot image. Then you'll just have to flash twrp and magisk back after you boot up once

Because OnePlus upgraded the bootloader in their OOS10 release. One of the changes was disabling the fastboot boot command that you usually needed to boot to TWRP. Without that command, you had to flash the TWRP img files onto the boot partition first in order to be able to boot TWRP.
There are many -- maybe a bit too many -- guides on how to install TWRP on OOS10. Here and here are some I found.
The gist of it is to boot to TWRP by running the fastboot flash boot twrp_file.img command, rebooting to recovery, then flashing the twrp zip file. And that's pretty much it.
PS In my case, I wasn't able to reboot to TWRP by using mauronofrio's twrp-3.3.1-14 version, and had to use his twrp-3.3.1-11 instead.

Thank you for your help, gonna try following those. Hopefully I don't f up and have to do a msm restore. But why would they disable that command?... Just to make everything complicated? Guess I will not stick to Oneplus next year.

To be fair, the only difference between this method and the old method is just one word and manually rebooting to recovery. You still have to flash the twrp.zip after flashing from bootloader file to install TWRP, so it's not too radically different.

Just download oxygen updater and install 10.0.1 and be done with it
I ended up flashing TWRP over my boot slot (B) and now I just boot into TWRP. I have already installed TWRP on boot slot (a). I can't remember which version of oxygenOS I have installed and couldn't find a way to confirm. How can I fix this? Also want to update to latest version of oxygenOS and android. No data on phone yet. phone still connects to computer, adb sideloader and fastboot commands still work work. Thanks
Are you saying you did fastboot flash boot of the TWRP img? You should be doing fastboot boot TWRP img, then flash the TWRP installer zip.
You can get the OS back up and running by flashing the correct boot.img via fastboot. Or use one of the fastboot stock ROMs.

ya, I fastboot flash boot the TWRP img following this video youtu.be/3oSycujvmP8?t=296
I guess I'll start flashing boot images until I land on the correct OS version, thanks

But to recover his phone, the OP will need the original boot.img from his OS version.
OP has already messed up the boot partition.
That has to be fixed first.

Yes, I had to unbrick using msm. It worked. Was able to get phone rooted and stock recovery replaced with TWRP but it was a much bigger pain than I expected.

Glad you got it recovered.
There is an application called "Partitions Backup".
It allows you to back up all the phone partitions. The one you really want to backup from now on is the boot_a and boot_b.
Since you are rooted when you do an upgrade, grab the boot_a and boot_b before installing Magisk after the install.
This allows you to go back to stock. After you back them up, copy them to a computer.
hey guys. Not able to flash oos through twrp.

Doesn't TWRP back up everything including boot partitions?
Is there nothing that will take the entire internal storage and just make a 'bare metal' image of it for restoring.. the whole entire thing, byte for byte? If not, why doesn't this exist? It just seems so logical to me and would be so incredibly useful. Phone borked? No problem. Just re-image it form the archive you made. To me, that is what TWRP is all about, at least conceptually if not technically.
