why would you install boot.img from some site that may or may not be for our phone.
you could just reinstall stock boot or choose custom kernel from the forms here and get something that works like
cleanslate https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/kernel-cleanslate-v1-7-0-oo-t3797668
elementalx https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/kernel-elementalx-op6-1-00-t3799054
flash kernel https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/op6-flash-kernel-1-00-t3801652
these are some of the custom kernels for our OP 6.

Max's site is "High on Android" I followed his boot loader unlock and OP 6 root plan.....it was for the OP6....but I don't know
if the image is the same on 5.1.7 to 5.1.9 ? That's the only thing that my novice mind can thing the problem is?
I don't really want a custom kernel..I keep things stock, just root for a few apps adaway, TI backup...... But thanks!

Geez now my twrp is freezing on the opening screen???

**** happens I guess
Try a newer version of twrp if you can, via fastboot first and then flash (like you did before)

This phone does not work like the 5T or other phones without A/B partitions. There is a lot of bad advice out there. You're better off sticking with the guides posted here.

I don't really understand the a/b partitions? I know its for seamless updates, but don't really understand. Advice here is the best for sure.
Max Lee's method works but he had an outdated boot.img ...once I got the correct one for 5.1.9 all went well...twrp, magisk...
plus and I hate to say this..all I have now is a Macbook and he had directions for that...

All you need to know about A/B is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-noobs-guide-to-b-partitions-op6-t3816123
This phone is really not that hard to mod, even with a MacBook. I've used Macs for years for rooting. It's just a matter of knowing how to use Terminal . . . that's it.

why are you flashing the boot img?...

Because the boot.img I originally use wasn't for 5.1.9..
I flashed the correct one and all good...

The reason we ask about boot.Img is b/c flashing magisk would have patched your boot.img. The only reason for flashing boot is for custom kernels.

I'm not sure... But when I installed the boot.img for 5.1.9 then Magisk 16.4 it fixed the bootloop

Everyone else here know that the reason for the boot loop is b/c you flashed an older boot.img then the system was expecting. What we are trying to say is if you did not flash that boot.img in the first place, This problem never would have happened.

Oneplus 6 root qualcomm crash dump

So i recently updated to android pie. I rooted my Oneplus 6 a while ago, but it was removed with an OTA update. Now i'm in fastboot with an unlocked bootloader attempting to boot into twrp-3.2.3-0-enchilada.img using the command "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-enchilada.img". After doing this instead of taking me to the twrp menu it takes me to a qualcomm crash dump screen. Is there something i'm doing wrong. Thanks!

actually, now my phone wont get past those spinning circles when it starts up. I can get into recovery. What can i do to fix this?
EDIT: I restored my old bootloader, but now my phone isn't rooted. I have twrp recovery. i tried flashing magisk 17.1, is there something here i shouldn't have done?

if you are on stock firmware, why do you want twrp? Unless you are going to aosp rom or want to decrypt the phone, twrp is not needed then.

Just looked into it. For whatever reason it doesn't work on Android p unless I run the uninstaller first. Thanks for the help though, I'm all good.

Msm unbricktool op7?

Hello, does anybody have this tool for the normal op7 please?

i also bricked my phone. pls share msm download tool if you get.

Hi, have you solved the problem? Do you have the bootloader open? If you have the bootloader open you can put the ROM by fastboot, after putting it recommend to do a factory reset.

Well... Its possible. But in the most cases you can't boot into fastboot to flash the fastboot rom. This happens when you format vendor or system for example. I saw someone wrote this at the OP7 Pro forums. Bootloader will get locked with no system installed. I guess that's why we don't have custom roms yet. No one wanna risk to brick phone.

Hello friend, you say that if custom recovery Twrp is done "Wipe system" closes bootloader and does not let you put rom by fastboot?

I don't know that. But I saw it in OP7 Pro thread. A guy was thinking about to flash a rom on his op7 pro 5g. Dev said if he wipe vendor and system he will brick his phone and bootloader gets locked. But im not sure about this. Personally I never wipe system.

Now that we have Msm for OnePlus 7, maybe Custom Roms are starting to come out. In TWRP can you make a Wipe System?

Question Need help with twrp

Alright I finally rooted my Google pixel 6a using the pixel flasher and it is a really nice tool. My problem now is this phone isn't supported on the twrp app.and I don't remember seeing the option to flash twrp from the pixel flasher. Any advice on where and how I would go about getting a recovery installed? Thanks

Pixel devices do not have dedicated recovery partitions, as Samsung devices do. The recovery kernel is in the boot image.
There is no need to flash TWRP on a Pixel device. If you want to use it, you can live boot it, but for the most part it's unnecessary because we can flash partitions directly from bootloader.

I think he means this, live booting into any TWRP img doesnt work, he is asking for where to find a custom recovery to live boot or whatever, right? @Kerrylee1738$$$

Yes that's right... I figured Google pixel 6a had twrp but after looking it didn't. Any advice on a alternative to TWRP would be greatly appreciated

Using TWRP to flash a ROM on a phone is the only way I know how. Would ROM manager work on flashing this nitrogen ROM I downloaded?

You have to flash it with fastboot mode and stock or lineage recovery.

ROM's are flashed either via fastboot or as an OTA in recovery.

I decided just to wait for a twrp recovery to become available and started working on my xt2131-1 and OnePlus Nord device again.

Yes...so far it's a toss up. It's either the ROM that somehow messes up and bricks the phone or the Gapps bootloops. I have literally used the MSM tool probably 15 times maybe more in the last 12hrs.

As a precaution, it's usually the Custom ROM which is why a good number of folks revert back to stock and stay put.

It sideloaded a little weird but it's working. Only issue I'm having now is the Gapps won't sideload nor flash...it says error wrong format. Tried unpacking and repacking no luck And it won't let me boot TWRP at all. I have to do fastboot reboot just to get it out. Guess I'm going to have to use the unbrick tool just to get stock and try something other than lineage 19.1

Try to utilize fastboot as a method to flash versus sideloading.
