Flash stock rom via fastboot, then boot up TWRP (don't install it), flash P beta (official one not the GSI), reboot to stock recovery, wipe data, reboot to system, if it is working you can now flash TWRP and magisk and whatever you want
EDIT: i was forgotting, REMEMBER to BACKUP your data before flash via fastboot

U can? So do you have a flashble zip? Link maybe?
If its easy like wipe->flash pie-> flash magisk then that would be great

How to move to Stable pie from open beta pie

I'm on unrooted, unlocked bootloader OnePlus 6 With open beta 3 on stock recovery.
Just want to shift to stable pie. How to do that? Because when i tried using local upgrade option in system updates i got it can't be downgraded. Refer screenshot for better understanding

I only know how to do this with twrp.
So: fastboot boot twrp.img (guide in forum) (use latest blu_spark)
Flash latest blu_spark twrp.zip
Reboot to twrp
Flash rom.zip
Flash blu_spark twrp again
Not booting do it one more time.
Dont want twrp at all? Don't flash it after the rom.. I would keep it atleast until you know it all works, then dirty flash rom.zip to get rid of it.. If that's your cup of tea

Is there anyway doing it without flashing twrp? Wouldn't flashing it avoid warranty?

(Unlocking the bootloader, Flashing twrp, rooting.....) don't void warranty on oneplus devices

I want to do the same, go from Pie beta 4 to Original Pie version, but have no root, twrp ot whatever. I enabled Developer Option, enabled OEM Unlock(bootloader) , downloaded the official OxygenOS from OnePlus. I go to System Updates, click Local Upgrade and select the ZIP, but then it says it can't since this version is older than the one installed and downgrade is not possible. Now what?
Second question: what s better, has more latest updates and news stuff; beta or the stable?

Gee, really nobody has a clue?

There is a special downgrade image to move from the Pie betas back to Oreo.
Search XDA or the the OnePlus forums for the downgrade image (it should be in one of the announcement threads for the betas).
After the downgrade to Oreo you can use an OTA or full download to upgrade to official Pie.

Is it possible to downgrade from 9.5.7 to 9.5.5 or lower?

Hey guys im really unhappy about the newest firmware. It isnt as smooth as it used to be and I would like to downgrade the firmware. I have already downloaded the 9.5.5 firmware. I tried several solution via search but One plus software wont let me downgrade. In recovery modus there isnt even an Option to install via zip
IS it possible to install TWRP and install the firmware there? Or is there any solution to this?

Yes you should be able. Download the fastboot firmware, make sure to select the right variant. Then fastboot then flash-all after you unzip your firmware

the above post would prob be the easiest but its a high possibility will have to format user data (sdcard) and is a Clean install. You can flash through TWRP
Flash full zip through TWRP
flash TWRP Installer
Reboot back to TWRP
flash Magisk
Reboot to OS

is there any TWRP ROM?
or just TWRP the fastboot rom?

you can download the full zip here or if you download it from Oxygen Updater app. Those you can flash with twrp. Just make sure to flash Magisk too if you flash via TWRP
The fastboot rom you do no flash through TWRP, you flash it via fastboot.

I didn't read anywhere in this thread an indication of your bootloader status. Are you already unlocked?
- if you are not unlocked, then you will need to unlock it to gain root and TWRP. And unlocking the bootloader automatically wipes your internal storage.
- if you are unlocked, then you can proceed with installing root, and TWRP. As other users have posted, you can downgrade with a simple flash of 9.5.5 over 9.5.7... if they both share the same month's security patch.

Is there a latest stock ROM I can flash instead of the custom ROM I'm using now?

I'm TWRP'd and Magisk'd running a custom ROM (Havoc}, but it's a little buggy. I'm looking to flash a stock ROM with the latest OxygenOS, and then maybe use a Magisk module over that.
Can I? And if so, can you point me to the correct custom ROM thread? I see a couple, but not sure which one is flashable, and which one is for restoring the phone to completely stock (removing TWRP, etc.).

I suggest using this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424

I don't think you can flash a stock ROM, and keep TWRP without flashing TWRP again. TWRP will always be removed when flashing a stock ROM, since recovery doesn't reside on it's own partition for this device, but rather is on boot.img, which by definition needs to be flashed with the ROM (contains the kernel).
AFAIK, you will need to flash the stock ROM then flash TWRP and Magisk again. To do that, fastboot flash the above linked stock ROM, then fastboot boot TWRP.img, then in TWRP flash TWRP installer zip and flash Magisk. Wouldn't take long to do, just have the TWRP zip and Magisk zip on the phone ready to go, before you flash the stock ROM.

TWRP on Android 10

After recently bricking my Oneplus 6 by trying to flash the latest TWRP on the latest Android 10 OTA from Oxygen Updater, I found a post from official TWRP explaining how root with a10 will take a while to implement due to changes that Google has made to their partitions.
So I guess for anyone trying this out on their own, be warned. You will probably end up bricking your device like I did and will probably end up having a bad time.
Please correct me if i'm wrong though, peace!
Edit: can confirm fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-11-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img from the other popular post is working!

If you already have a working TWRP on OOS 9 you should be fine as long as you flash a working TWRP afterwards. Blu_spark TWRP 9.101 is compatible (please not 9.101 no earlier version will work).
Also don't use Magisk 20 only 20.1.
There is already a pre-patched version out there. You can fastboot flash it (as fastboot boot doesn't work). An easier way (without a pre-patched version) is currently being worked one as you pointed out already

just updated to a10
boot into twrp, flash new bluspark twrp
flash FULL ota a10 image
reflash twrp
reboot into twrp
boot into system
boot back to twrp
install magisk 20.1
a10, twrp and root working

Which build did u use mate? R108 is not working with android 9, I tried flashing it using my older installed twrp.
It says unsupported android version. And in github r108 says only for android 10.

r108 is the kernel not twrp

Thanks again mate.. I will give this one a try.

I can confirm that this is working for me. I successfully upgraded from Android 9, Oxygen OS 9.0.9 to Android 10, Oxygen OS 10. Steps that I followed :
1) Flashed new twrp from link in the above post by akri1337 using my previously installed twrp : bluspark 9.85.
2) Flashed Oxygen OS 10 full update and added to queue latest bluspark twrp which I flashed in step one as it would be overwritten by flashing the full OTA update.
3) Rebooted into recovery again to switch to active slot.
4) Flashed Magisk 20.2 to regain root.
This process successfully upgraded my Oneplus 6 without any data loss.
Please note that I disabled all magisk modules just to be safe before starting the upgrade process but didn't uninstall magisk. I was on Magisk 20.2 earlier.
Hope this helps everyone.

Which magisk? Ver 20.1 ?

Why is it that I get an error when trying to flash the full OTA update using TWRP? Something about error 7 and not have a digest file. Is there a full OTA update file that everyone is using? I tried the signed full zip from here on XDA and the one from Oxygen Updater. I get the same error with both.

Still confused as to how everyone else can flash these zip files through TWRP and I cannot.
I'm currently Magisk rooted and have TWRP installed. Will I lose root and TWRP when updating through the local upgrade method?

Yes, you will need to flash twrp with adb and going through the hole process of installing twrp and magisk, but for me its not worked well, after first boot to Android Q with magisk 20.1 and granting some apps root access when I rebooted the phone its not booting to system and going to bootloader, I think its related to some problem with magisk 20.1.
