I was on 5.1.8 and updated to 5.1.9 but for some reason the phone boots, goes to the OS but immediately shows the shutting down dialog box and reboots the phone to recovery.
I tried reinstalling 5.1.9 with and without root but have the same result. I have tried with and without permanent twrp. The only thing I haven't tried is a factory reset as I am abroad and cannot afford to lose all my info (especially whatsapp as I won't be able to set it back up until 2 weeks when I return home).
Has anyone encountered anything like this or know how to fix it?

Share this with OnePlus team on Twitter too until someone help you here too.
If MTP supported by your TWRP then copy the data? If TWRP is still there.

MTP doesn't work but adb works. I have reinstalled 5.1.9 after doing a full wipe and still the phone reboots to recovery after trying to boot normally.
Can anyone help me please :crying::crying::crying::crying:

Just dirty flash 5.1.8 system update in TWRP, reflash TWRP, reboot recovery, flash magisk. You shouldn't have to wipe data if there were no problems in previous OS and forcing a shutdown shouldn't be due to data anyway. You could also try to dirty flash 5.1.9 again with those steps. Has to be the full ROM.

I'm travelling and the hotel wifi is super slow. I have the full 5.1.9 and I've tried dirty flashing and clean flashing (I did a nandroid backup first). With a dirty flash the phone boots to the lockscreen but immediately says shutting down and reboots, after the reboot it goes to recovery (stock or twrp whichever is installed). After a clean flash it seems to try to boot then just shuts off and reboots to whichever recovery is installed.
I've set 5.1.8 to download which will take HOURS so I'll report back with any update. I pray this fixes it...

In thw worst case, since ADB works, you can backup your entire internal storage to your computer and factory reset. Use adb-sync for this.

I did a factory reset (didn't wipe internal storage) after doing the nandroid backup and it had the same issue where it tried to boot then screen went black and it rebooted to recovery

5.1.8 should be flashed again over current 5.1.8?
Why not just tell twrp to switch back to other slot with working oos. I am missing something that this was not tried yet?

I tried changing slots in twrp. Slot A boots to lockscreen then powers off and boots to recovery. Slot B doesn't boot at all and just shows a light blue notification LED.

I meant take backup through ADB, format everything including data, internal storage, then fastboot flash full ROM zip.
I am having the same exact issue.
Can't restore a nandroid backup. All I get is light blue notification LED. I tried 5.1.8 and 5.1.9. With TWRP right after and without it. Without even magisk. It just bootloops forever. If I install 5.1.9/5.1.8 full zips, twrp, reboot recovery, magisk. It just reboots into twrp. I can't even install any of the full ota zips. It wont get past the android boot animation when I just want to flash the ota zip only. Can't get out of twrp. Luckily I was able to backup everything, but don't know how to proceed further allowing me to regain usage of my phone.
To me, this is sounding like something did not flash right with vendor partition.
if a full wipe of System, data, internal storage, the whole 9 yards doesn't work. The only option I see that should work is the mega unbrick thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3796051

Did you make sure the download was not corrupt before flashing? OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_013_all_1807130145_92ea1c670c0fae.zip MD5 61EAE0DA48C6B3914F48F3E6EA99A74B

Funny, I was about post that link but i see you found it first. It is also good that it fixed it for you.
As far as TWRP backups, you only need to backup data. You can just install the full ROM zip file and restore data to get everything back if you have issues with nandroid restore. Just don't forget to flash TWRP before rebooting or you will need to fastboot it again.
Maybe an issue with battery calibration. Try checking the battery when the phone just boots. If it says low battery and because of that its shutting down then its just a software error and just try to turn in the phone with charger connected to check if tgats the problem. If that dosent work try the oneplus 6 mega unbrick guide and return to stock oos 5.1.5 using snapdragon msm recovery tool. For detailed info see tge OP6 unbrick guide on xda. Tell me if it works

One question, when you manually change to slot B, you're in a black screen with blue notification LED right? If that doesn't even go fastboot, how do you get out of that slot into the other one again to the boot-recovery loop?

I had been using Sultan's 6.0 ROM for a long time now. but it was causing issues and I wanted to try something new. I downloaded Tugapower (7.1) which I used before, and stock OxygenOS 2.1.4 flashable.
I did a nandroid backup of Sultan's ROM, I installed 7.1 which worked fine, and then wanted to test OxygenOS, which didn't boot, and then i proceeded to restore the backup. I left the phone to charge during restore, and I came back to see the phone massively hot and won't boot, not even into recovery. I checked fastboot and that worked.
I've tried a lot of stuff but none failed to boot.
Things I've tried:
1. Fastboot restore of CM11S - gets stuck at rom boot animation first try then bootloops at boot.
2.Fastboot restore of OxygenOS/CyanogenOS - same as above. Once it booted after i "Fixed Selinux" thingy from TWRP because I remembered that was an issue when i went back to 6.0 from 7.1 a few months back, but mobile data didnt work and it rebooted and started boot looping within seconds.
3. Fastboot restore of CM11s and then CM13 snapshot by recovery - bootloop
Recovery does not work by Power-UP-Vol. Only works once after flashing TWRP via OnePlus One Toolbox. and then bootloop if i try again.
ADB works in TWRP, i can also see my internal storage
4. Tried re enabling /persist partition using make_ext4fs
5. Tried MSMDownloadTool, drivers are fine, it flashes fine, but still says a lot of .img like recovery persist system userdata64 failed.
6. Tried Qualcom QSIF tool to restore ColorOS, same, flashes correctly, but still ROM does not boot.
7. Tried MiFlash to restore ColorOS, same as above.
Is my beloved OPO really gone? Or can i fix this somehow without taking it to Customer Care?
Fastboot works perfectly, also recovery works well when ColorOS is flashed. But just nothing makes the ROM boot. Also sometimes the battery starts counting down from 0 to the exact battery percentage

Here this one, it was weird, it never booted afterwards
Bump.
Update: The phone doesn't reboot anymore constantly, it just powers off after the initial oneplus logo
twrp sometimes shows symlinks error, and won't reboots if i Flash anything, cwm flashes fine but no system is booted

Device works fine when it is in TWRP? Like,no reboots or power off(s) whatsoever? Battery works fine in TWRP? Like,charging and stuff? If it does,then this is unlikely a battery issue,however,I would suggest you to remove battery(go through tutorials on youtube) and attach it again.
This has happened to me before,like if I'm not able to flash anything from TWRP then I just change/update recovery to unofficial/newer versions of it(did you tried this?) or,I just flash Cos13 through fastboot then it boots up fine and I flash TWRP again and boom,everything is back to normal.In cases where I'm even fail to flash Cos13(shows system error/system partition corrupt) or I'm not even able to boot to fastboot i.e.,hardbrick,I just use Cm11S restore tool(modified version of color os toolkit,you can find on general thread) and it flashes perfectly fine and boom,device is back!
I hope it helps!
Ps- This is the tool I'm talking about,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tool-oneplusrecovery-tool-v1-0-restore-t2991851
I always use this because after flashing from color os tool,I used to get bootloop,though fastboot mode was accessible then so I could just flash Cos13 through fastboot and I no longer get any system errors and it boots up fine.

I think it's a battery issue. There are so many people facing the same issue. Trust me,just change your battery.
It happened to me once. I had to erase every partition via fastboot, not only system data and cache, but also modem, efs, recovery ecc. Then I flashed stock COS13.1 partitions images and it worked. Just remember: do NOT turn off or reboot your phone between the erase and the flash, it could hard brick the device!
edit: You should also backup your existing efs partition via recovery.
Fixed my device. For future reference, it was a battery issue, Just couldn't retain enough charge, enough to boot into recovery but not enough to boot any ROM, Changed battery and everything is back to normal
Fixed it Guys, Battery issue, had enough charge for recovery, but just couldn't boot a rom. Changed battery and everything's fine now

Hello, i'm a bit in trouble with my internal storage.
Yesterday i wanted to update to newest havoc os so i prepared as usual and wiped system and data under advanced wipe in TWRP ( twrp-3.2.3-0-enchilada(mtp) from joemossjr ).
Then things went strange... op6 reboots itself and since there was no system installed got stuck. i rebooted to TWRP and it started like first time install.
I wanted to do the TWRP Setup but TWRP freezes everytime and after some seconds the device reboots.
I tried different TWRP (joemossjr, eng.stck), tried flashing manually with fastboot flash boot_a twrp.img fastboot flash boot_b twrp.img and even with Tool All In One from mauronofrio
but only recovery that doesn't freeze is newest official TWRP 3.2.3.0.
But now i can't get access to my internal storage. The TWRP filemanager and adb shell are showing weird folders ( see attached jpg ).
It seems something is corrupted... i also tried to flash stock op6 rom in fastboot "OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_015_all_1808102118_770880-FASTBOOT" with flash-all-partitions-fastboot.bat.
Seems to work but got stuck at bootanimation...
flashed back official TWRP and i think i have to install magisk now but don't know how to do because i have no access to my internal storage.
at this point i wish they would have included a sdcard slot
suggestion anyone?
It's not corrupted, but it's encrypted, when you flashed the havoc rom you kinda ****ed up with the encryption method so now you got files that are encrypted and that you can't decryp, so your solution is to format your internal storage, sorry for you, and if anyone have another solution i would take it
do an adb sideload for magisk zip , that should help
adb sideload sadly doesn't work, just "Starting ADB Sideload feature" ...
and on cmd when i try to adb sideload i got an "error: closed"
can't figure out why the files should be encrypted... makes no sense to me
now i flashed flash-system-boot-vendor.bat
phone boots till startup wizard and then after few seconds freeze and reboot

Format data. Problem fixed. This is the ONLY SOLUTION that will work.
Yup, you need to format the data and start all clean and i hope you did a full twrp backup
yes i do always make a backup before flashing something... my problem is i don't have access to files on internal storage.
Data partition is not my problem because all my apps are stored with titanium backup but in the freaking internal memory.
i wiped data partition but it doesnt help... now i have all folders like after complete reset. but i dont know how to get access to my old files in /sdcard folder.
i think of deleting internal storage also and start from scratch and try some data recovery tools... maybe i have some luck.
use Tool all in one

Did you ever actually try to flash the Havoc update? What's going on is that you flashed a rom on the August security patch and OOS is still on July. You can't roll back to an earlier patch. Only a rom on the current patch will work.
If it doesn't work, as several have said, you have to format data, not just wipe. That will unfortunately, erase everything on your phone, but there's no other way to go back to OOS.
ok iElvis... things start getting interesting
hmm i want to try that but how should i be able to do that...
how does it work flashing the havoc with all in one tool or could it be done in fastboot mode per cmd?
the phone came with oos 5.1.5 and used that a while then with xXx NoLimits 2.4 over it for a few weeks.
after that havoc os from 6.8.18 for a month or so and i want that as daily driver.
then yesterday updated with fresh install to version from 28.8.18 and setup everything then after reboot wifi was complete dead and SIM also.
flashed newest smurf kernel over and all worked again till next reboot.
i decided to install again from scratch and thats the point where things getting weird...

Yep, that's the security patch issue. Once you're on a patch, going back to an earlier one will break encryption. I don't believe there's any other option beyond formatting data.

This was happens every day after when i try to mod my device.
When i see weired Folder. I boot to fastboot then flash fastboot twrp. Img.(this will shows all folders with normal names)
Then flash liquid remix rom(its my saviour)
Then flash twrp.Installer.
Then reboot to Recovery and restore my liquid rom backup and boom its boot to everything normal.
Here i want to say that keep one liquidremix rom in otg pendrive.
After fastboot twrp command when u gets working twrp.
Install that rom via otg, and flash twrp installer and then reboot back to twrp and then clean flash rom u want it will work without doing formatting or fastboot flashing stock rom which erase everything everytime
@ whizeguy... did that as mentioned before and gave me the freeze after first time reboot
@ pankspoo... ok i cant understand what is causing this issue but if you say that did the trick for you than i will buy me a otg adapter and check that out.
silly that i already deleted everything and sadly with no affort...
but i dont understand why im not able to boot anymore even after deleting everything

Fastboot method of installing rom will work 100%, have u used flash all. Bat (just unzip ur downloaded fastboot rom, connect phone to comp in fastboot mode and click on flash all bat file) command while installation.
Use that command because u have soft bricked u r device.
That installation will boot to normal oos rom.
I think u r doing something wrong.
Hmm thats exactly what i did.
In cmd there are some errors like sparse blabla but finally it completes but with freeze and reboots during startup assistent.
I bought an otg adapter today. Flashed liquid remix and that worked! All seems fine no freezes and reboots but wifi and signal still broken...
Very confusing

U have u r efs backup? If have then restore it via twrp.
That will give u ur signal and wifi
That is what im thinking of...in fastboot there are no infos at bootloader and baseband Version. unfortunately my efs Backup is gone since internal storage messed up.
If i could recover some data that could help but 2 tools i tried yet didnt work.
Tomorrow ill try making raw dump and see If this would help.. still looking for the best guide or method
I was on Havoc OS and tried to go back to stable OS throught TWRP. The plan was to flash stock OOS 9.04 then TWRP blu spark then reboot to recovery again and flash again stock OOS 9.04 and again TWRP and then reboot again to recovery to do a wipe and finally boot up and setup. The problem is that after flashing OOS over Havoc and then TWRP, when I selected to reboot to recovery it did but all files seem to be gibberish. I think this means that the device is encrypted cause when entering TWRP it doesn't ask me for my password. I know that if I do a full wipe it will 99% fix but I want my files in data/media. Is there a solution???
Please help!
I had this happen to me after a failed rom update, all the directories were numbers and hex code, there was no way for me to fix it other than flash using the bricktool
Sorry

Probably because the Security Patch level was higher on Havoc.
You could try flashing Havoc again, but i don't know how since your storage is encrypted ...
Last time i tried this, it failed to boot, and switched slots, booting into the old ROM.
But if you flashed OOS two times, it's impossible.
There must be a way since I know the password to decrypt the files... Right?
I did flash Havoc successfully again with sideload method but doesn't seem to work. Maybe install Gapps too?
Ok so I flashed havoc+gapps. Phone booted up and I was in working condition but folders and files stayed encrypt and can't be moved with PC or anything. Should I give up and go to MsmDownloadTool ?

No need to use Msmdownloadtool, you can use fastboot ROM and boot the phone in fastboot mode. You will lose your files as always (the moment the encription broke you lost your key and the files are permanently encripted), but the procedure is much less painful than the Msmdownloadtool.
Just format your internal storage (using format data) in twrp and you can flash oos and boot into the rom without any issues. I do that all the time whenever I need to flash back oos from custome roms. No need for those msmtool or even fastboot rom..

Did you try flashing Havoc, then going back to TWRP ? I worked for me when i had the issue, having the good ROM flashed and active on the slot allowed me to enter my password in Blu_Spark TWRP.
By the way, MSMDownloadTool will just Format Everything and flash OOS, so if you're stuck, better just flash OOS from recovery and Format Data, same result, less hassle.
You should solve with last beta cause It has the same patch security.
Just boot TWRP recovery through fastboot (via a PC!) , works for me when encryption messes up.
P.S. - Always have a backup before flashing ANYTHING.

If my last post before doesn't work, try switching boot slots.
Thanks for all the replies. Didn't have the time to try what all of you suggested. Finally I formated everything and lost a couple of things but I couldn't stay without a phone.
Dear op7p xda community,
A few months ago, I rooted my device and flashed TWRP succesfully. After a stock OTA (still Pie), I lost both. Today, I wanted to re-root and re-flash TWRP. I used mauronofrio's Tool All In One 2.0.0.7 for this. I didn't flash TWRP, but booted it and used that to flash Magisk 19.4. Now, I wanted to see if the rooting process was successful, so I booted the OS. Unfortunately, once it boots and reaches the lockscreen, the "shutting off..." prompt immediately shows and reboots me into the stock recovery.
Edit: I now flashed TWRP after booting TWRP again and ran Magisk to root it again. Unfortunately, the problem persists (only now reboots to TWRP instead of stock recovery). Help is much appreciated!
Can someone help me get my phone to work again? Thanks a lot in advance!
Regards,
Wouty
What version TWRP? Maybe try a different one?

Thank you for your reply. I am now on TWRP 3.3.1-4 (latest). I have tried to factory reset and wipe the phone in hopes of getting it to start properly again, but now the OS doesn't even boot and immediately reboots me into TWRP. I have now tried to flash 3 different stock, official ROMs, both International and Europe, like OnePlus7ProOxygen_21.O.14_OTA_014_all_1907281611. I used the recommended flashing instructions (flash ROM, flash TWRP, reboot TWRP, flash Magisk) But none of them boot at all. Only TWRP is usable now. I don't know what to do

When it reboots back to TWRP try to format data if that doesn't work then you need to use MSM tool.

Thanks for your reply. I had indeed wiped data, but that worsened the situation (not booting at all, instead of rebooting once booted). I have now tried this https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424 and it now seems to be booting (booting animation on-going for quite some time now, though). I will keep you posted. If it doesn't work, I'll look into the MSM tool. Thanks for the suggestion!

That is the latest official TWRP for this device. The official builds don't support Android 10, as decryption is not supported, so that may be part of your problem. The latest unofficial is -70, and I believe you need to use build -65 or later for Android 10.

Wipe is not the same as format. In TWRP, go to Wipe section, and you will see a button "Format data".
If you are now stuck on a boot loop, try booting into twrp and clearing cache. If you still can't boot, then i recommend downloading the full official rom and flashing it via fastboot. This will remove twrp and u'll end up with stock recovery and everything. Then after that follow proper instructions to install twrp first, then clear cache. Then magisk, and clear cache.

Trying to flash an official ROM via fastboot for a second time did indeed solve the problem for me. Now able to boot. Now backing up everything to make sure I'm able to solve these issues faster in the future. Thanks to all for your input!
Hi, as the title explains I can flash and boot into lineage os but when I try to flash a stock OxygenOS signed flashable zip from this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3792244)
and when I boot to system, the screen doesn't show a boot logo, it just goes black for a few seconds before rebooting back to twrp (also if it helps, when it goes to twrp all the files are gibberish, I have to shut off the phone and boot into it from fastboot or I can't see any files).
This all started because I misunderstood the instructions and tried to flash an ota package which then broke the system, it's working now but I'd much rather use OOS as Lineage is missing a lot of the features I'm used to on Oxygen.
I've also tried the "flash-all-partitins-fastboot" from https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665 but unfortunately that gave the same issue, it just went back to recovery and wouldn't load OOS.
If anyone has any ideas on how to get back to oxygen that'd be super helpful! I'm considering using the MSM tool but I'd rather not have to start from scratch and lose all my files.
I'm just guessing, but there might be something wrong with your TWRP, did you try re-flashing it?

I should've clarified in the post, I mean all the files are gibberish (as in not decrypted I think?) but when I
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
it works fine and I can see all the files.
I've probably tried flashing it 4 times through twrp but every time it just does the same thing, boot to system just shows a black screen for a few seconds then reboots to twrp.
I'd love to use blu_spark like everyone recommends but I can't find the blu_spark recovery for the op6, only their kernel.
The reason why it's gibberish is because your device is encrypted and you need to input the password in the twrp to be able to access it. Seems the twrp doesn't detect the encryption correctly so there might be something wrong with it.
Here is the bluespark twrp https://github.com/engstk/android_device_oneplus_enchilada/releases

I just tried with blu_spark and the same thing happens but I realised something else, twrp only doesn't work on slot A.
If I see that it didn't decrypt the files, I can set B to active, reboot to recovery, and it works perfectly.
I noticed after one of the failed boots it switched the active slot to B even though I had set it to A before flashing. So every time it doesn't show the logo or anything, it sets the active slot from A to B and reboots to recovery.
Also I just looked and from the Backup page, it shows 2.7 GB for system on slot A and 1.7GB on slot B so I'm going to try wiping both and reflashing the flashable signed zip on each then twrp.
UPDATE: Just did that and the twrp installer was giving an error saying unsupported android version so I looked and system is only 4MB after flashing that package (OnePlus6Oxgygen_22_OTA_034_all_...zip), I'm trying an older one (...OTA_026...zip) to see if that actually works.
So I tried with the older one and lineage and they both still left the system partition at 4MB and the blu_spark twrp installer isn't detecting an android version. The system image partition is at 2.6GB if that means anything.
Oh wait more update, I'm dumb and shut off the phone while taking the case off (got stuck and it was pushing the power button) and even though the twrp installer couldn't detect anything and twrp said No OS installed when trying to boot to system, lineage just started up, no problem. I am very confused I miss when there was one system partition.
How are you flashing the OS?

I'm using twrp, blu_spark and normal, and both have the same result. They can flash lineage and it runs fine, but oxygen refuses to boot and just switches the active slot and goes to recovery instead.
I also tried the fastboot rom flashing thing from the thread I linked to in the OP and it's the same thing, just goes back to recovery and wont boot.
P.S. I'm currently copying over /sdcard to an external drive and if I can't figure out how to fix this by the time that's done, I'll just use MsmDownloadTool and start over.
And you are wiping each time before flashing it, right? If it is the case then the download tool is probably the easiest way to go about it, rather than spending days troubleshooting it.

I've tried it with and without wiping and it always seems to do the same thing either way, works with LOS not with OOS. Thanks for the help! but yeah I think I'm just going to end up using the download tool once everything's over.
