wipe and flashing is now working but when i flash my 7.1 rom and even my 7.1 nandbackup is now bootloop only the 8.1 is only working now im stuck in unofficial 8.1 with full of bugs i cant downgrade bootloader also

Twrp:
Format cache, systam, data to ext4, reboot bootloader, go to twrp, format all back to f2fs, reboot bl, twrp, flash any custom for N modem.
Apps & data you can restore/extract with titanium backup or nandroid manager app.
Before this you can try restore or flash boot.img(extract from custom.zip), reboot twrp, wipe all & format data then restore your backup. @22pises

Bootlooping to recovery after flashing Custom rom

I unlocked my phone yesterday and installed orangefox recovery in it. However after flashing custom rom, it keeps rebooting back to recovery. Have no idea how to solve this. Any solutions?

Tried that. not working. Also if its relevent system, vendoe, etc are not mounted. only data, cache, and microsd is mounted. Have no idea why.

Me too faced this kind of issue, peter's TWRP worked for me, follow instructions from here

Ok It worked. No need to flash the dm Verity for orange recovery. What I did was simple.
1. Factory reset (Did this step before also)
2. Format Data (Also Did this step)
3. Flash rom (Of course did this too)
4. Then reboot to RECOVERY again, not to system. (did not do this step before). Go to reboot part and click reboot to recovery, not to system.
5. After that reboot to system and it should work. Mine did.

Solved
I to had same problem but mine worked after installing custom ROM install FCrypt disabler.zip from recovery then reboot and enjoy.
Download FCrypt disabler.zip for Redmi note 7 Pro from Google.

Flash any zip which disables dm verity things. Suggestion: flash lazyflasher zip.

Problems flashing Roms

can anyone please help me?

anyone? please?

first install OOS 10 on both slots (i have open beta 4)..than boot to OOS 10, not setup! Then boot TWRP and factory reset, not FORMAT DATA!!! Then reboot TWRP and install ROM, TWRP, reboot, install Gapps and Magisk (optional)

hello mate
and when i install Rom, do i need to install on both slots or i can have one has backup (its what i have been doing till now)?
and when i factory reset, what will i lose?

Well, it is difficult to say. Usually, every ROM has its thread, its instructions and its community that helps with problems related to installing that ROM.
It could be a few things:
1) I do not see any mention about wiping data. Usually you need to wipe data and wipe system partition in twrp before you install a new ROM. Maybe that is the issue. However, what you need to wipe is ROM specific.
2) Check prerequisites, what ROM version you need to be running before you flash. Sometimes that matters.
3) OnePlus 6 has these A/B slots that I do not fully understand. From what I have read, if you are running on slot A, update installs on slot B, and then you reboot to slot B and cycle continues. BUT DO NOT TRUST ME ON THIS. You should read yourself. Anyway, sometimes people recommend flashing both slots A and B. For some ROMs. For LineageOS, for example, that is not necessary.

oh, factory reset damn i would want to configure everything again

I think first.
You have to WIPE data, all. Factory wipe option.
Then boot into twrp
First, flash OOS, followed by TWRP
Reboot to Recovery using twrp itself.
And then again flash OOS and TWRP.
Reboot to recovery again (using the option in twrp itself)
Finally, then install your rom followed by gapps etc etc
Then it should work....

is there anyway to do this without factory reset?

no

[Solved] Help to flash custom ROMs

Hello everybody,
I bought a Oneplus 7 Pro a few days ago and I'm preparing it for my daily usage. It's my fourth Android smartphone, and the third Oneplus. So far, I managed to flash everyone of them, with no major issues.
And then, the Oneplus 7 Pro suddenly appeared
I used this tutorial to unlock the bootloader and flash the custom recovery.
From my understanding, the custom recovery is flashed in the Recovery Ramdisk and available for both A & B slots.
For now, I have A and B slots with stock OSS, unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and Magisk. All of this is working.
There began my problems. I want to flash a custom ROM without Gapps and I fail to do it. All instructions around ROM threads seems different to me, I don't get the thing about A & B slots, when I flash one rom, it boots as usual on the stock ROM, if I flash both slots, It causes bootloops and if I manage to launch the recovery, my internal storage isn't detected and I can't restore any backup.
I already used MSMDownload to restore the phone completely once.
Can somebody explain to my dumb person how to do it proprely ? Thanks in advance ! :fingers-crossed:
TL;DR : I fail to flash a custom ROM and make it work.

Yes I had same issues when rooted, it means you lost root. You can try tool all in one to flash recovery and magesik via fastboot. If that doesn't restore your access, on twrp you will have to type in format, then mount, then add rom to storage(this method wipes everything beware)

For now, my phone is working nicely. But that's the process of flashing a new ROM that fails. Recovery and Magisk are already and working.

Thanks, I will try.
When you flash the ROM, does TWRP tell you that if you want to continue you need to reboot recovery ? If so, do you ? Do you reboot recovery on the same slot, or do you flash both ?

Nope, it doesnt tell you anything. Just reboot recovery from reboot menu. Don't touch the slot options

Thanks for your advices.
I'm trying right now, here's my steps :
- Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache (the standard Factory Reset)
- Install ROM : TWRP logs show that he's flashing on inactive slot A, then B. After that logs said " To flash additional zips, please reboot recovery to switch to the updated slot ". I'm going back on the menu
- Install TWRP Installer like previously
- Reboot Recovery : TWRP ask me if I want to install the TWRP App, I dismiss. After reboot of the recovery, it asks if I want to keep System Read Only, I swipe to allow modifications
- Wipe Data : Can't do it because TWRP is unable to mount storage. And after further investigations, I'm now on slot A, not B as before.
- Reboot recovery to slot B
- Wipe Data on slot B
- Reboot system
And It still booting on the stock Oxygen OS Rom, not the custom one installed before. I'm lost

The problem is that you are not performing factory reset.
Wipe data is not enough,you gotta go to wipe-format data-enter yes and swipe.
That is why you are getting bootloops and twrp unable to mount storage problem.
A/B is pretty simple.
You got two slots for many partitions like system vendor boot and all,but a single data partition.
Flash a rom from one slot,it always gets flashed to the other slot no matter what.So next time you reboot to recovery or system it's gonna be on the other slot.So here is the problem..one rom cannot decrypt data which was initially encrypted by another rom..so you gotta perform a data format instead of wipe.Thats it.

lol i wrote all steps but you didn't do all of them. Use swipe to wipe for factory reset and you didn't format data

Well yes, I didn't understood the difference between Wipe and Format Data.
So let's resume :
Unlock Bootloader
Advanced -> Install Recovery Ramdisk : Install TWRP
Install -> Flash TWRP Installer
Install -> Flash Magisk
Reboot -> System : Reboot on stock OxygenOS Rooted
Then
Wipe -> Factory Reset : Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache, that means you just have to swipe on TWRP.
Install -> Flash ROM : Use the install function and install the ROM
Install -> Flash TWRP Installer : Don't reboot, go back and install as the previous step
Reboot -> Recovery : Reboot TWRP and it automatically load the other slot
Wipe -> Format Data : Click and type yes
Reboot -> System : Just reboot and it should load the installed ROM

is wiping internal storage compulsory?

Not wiping.. formatting..that is compulsory if your current data is encrypted

After multiple tries to verify the process :
Wipe -> Factory Reset + : Wipe Data, System, Cache and Dalvik Cache
Install -> Flash ROM : Use the install function and install the ROM
Install -> Flash TWRP Installer : Don't reboot, go back and install as the previous step
Reboot -> Recovery : Reboot TWRP and it automatically load the other slot
Wipe -> Format Data : Click and type yes
Reboot -> System : Just reboot and it should load the installed ROM
Install -> Magisk
Reboot -> System
Install -> Whathever you want
Reboot -> System
It worked !

Data storage encrypted and ask password

Hi guys, i bought this phone 4 months ago and till now i still dont know what the heck password to decrypt data storage. i did google a lot and tried some password like : default, default_password, password or something like that. And when i install new rom. It bootloop to twrp. I can only install new rom after flash stock china rom and flash new rom. because data storage is ENCRYPTED.
thank you

to erase enycryption u have to first flash force decryption universal zip and now u have encryption ,only 2 solutions are available, Erase all data using twrp ,format if if it can but if doesn't, you have to use miflash tool to flash stock rom
Your encryption password should be your phone password

May i ask which recovery (TWRP) you are using ?
The only working TWRP cannot decrypt PIN or Password, use pattern instead, ore remove all and try again.
In TWRP you have to format Data, confirm with 'yes' and reboot to recovery again.

You need to format data partition. Not just wipe but format it.

Very important:
If you come from global stable or any other custom ROM and want to change to xiaomi.eu: format data
If you stay on xiaomi.eu weekly developer you can update normaly: (wipe davlik and cache)
If you stay on Xiaomi.eu stable, update normally: (wipe davlik and cache)
If you change within xiaomi.eu weekly to stable: format data
If you change Android version on Xiaomi.eu : format data

i dont care about data dude. it just bootloop to twrp. but after 3 months i give up. cant reinstall app alots. the problem is data is encrypt. i used xiaomi note2 note 4, mimax1 mimax 3 mi8 so i know what to do. but this device a lots people face this problem same as me

you can try to change the file system of the partition f2fs to ext4 with twrp and reverse it.
I had this problem on my old Lenovo p2 and the only way i found is to change the file system and reverse it.
When you change the file system the data encryption is bypassed but you loose all data.

Best time to start over, flash miui rom with miflash.(no need to configure the rom, restart in fastboot with the xiaomi password)
Then install the TWRP and above all do not wipe anything!!!
Format data(if you see red lines reboot TWRP and format again)->flash rom format data->reboot twrp flash gapps->reboot system.
Which rom do you want to install?

And with pendrive+otg? you only need to select the rom on the pendrive and flash it!?

You don't need to install TWRP on phone but just boot from TWRP.img.
I had same problem, I think TWRP encrypted the phone. Solution use Mi flash tool to flash stock rom. Then on your PC make use you have Adb tool folder, put Poco-F2 chinese twrp- chinese-f2.img in same folder as TWRP. You don't need to install TWRP on phone but just boot from TWRP.img. Use command on pc from c:\Adb folder where there is fastboot, cmd: fastboot boot trwp-chinese-f2.img phone should reboot and boot from TWRP. Then in TWRP you can flash rom or copy rom zip file to phone and flash it. Format data if needed to and reboot to system. Phone will still on stock Recovery not TWRP.
