I did do a search and found and tried a couple different recommended? methods that r supposed to work. Didn't for me.
What is the PROPER procedure to make a backup with twrp then restore it if needed. THANKS
Boot twrp, backup, backup all options.
Boot twrp, restore, choose the backup you want to restore, tick all options, swipe right for restore.
You sure u searched?
Yes

Is there something wrong with this guide you mean? It works without issues here......
Guess rooting is too easy on OnePlus devices aswell ?

you are really funny man. he is right . there is no thread which guides you how to restore nandroid on oneplus 6 .
i have tried all the methods posted in oneplus 6 xda.
Only 1 time i have been able to restore successfully. on OOS 5.1.11.
Tried more than 7 times to restore on android pie. with encrypted and decrypted both ways always issues like twrp lost or bootloop on blank screen
The post you are referring to shows general method of how to backup and restore via TWRP. And i assure the twrp doesnt work as intened . This a/b partition is f... PITA.
If any one knows how to successfully restore a nandroid backup on stable pie, please share.
im so fedup of this nonsense. i might go back to samsung devices for easy custom installations

At that time backups worked, in that thread there was ways that worked. You had to put the backup on the pc, format, install same rom as your backup and restore it without booting. Now on pie... Nothing works, but 2 months ago, it did.

Your posts are really helpful I see.. Don't throw rocks in a glass house. (edit: guess the roof came down when someone called you out on your bs doing the same lol pathetic)
New threads are about topics already answered alot.might be why one gets tired of it.. I don't know. People just don't know how to use the forum
The way I do it now is I use swift backup to backup apps+data. Makes the job easier atleast, but I know it's not the same as before. Decrypting and use twrp might be an option.. Never tried it.
I am decrypted and here's what I do:
backup only boot, system, data and efs, at time of restore do it without any wipes, once restore is complete flash twrp reboot recovery, now Flash magisk 17.1 and reboot recovery, now flash dm_verity_force_encrption disabler, now reboot system, it works for me 9 out of 10 times, hope this helps, cheers.

very sorry to hear you ran into problems, as I have mentioned before my method only works if only three partitions are backed up, boot, system and data, if any other partition are/is in the backup, it will not restore especially vendor and vendor image, next time when you do a nand backup only check boot, system and data as well as efs if you want, hope this helps, cheers.
Does your method of restoring nandroid backup only work if you are decrypted?
Mine is encrypted. Would your method still work?

This is what I do and it always works.
BACKUP - only do the backup for boot, system, and data. That is all that works anyway
STEPS TO RESTORE
1. Clean flash the room you made the backup on. If using OOS like I am just use a fastboot rom. It will wipe everything for you and makes this possible.
2. Start the rom up and complete the initial setup - you don't need to sign in to Google or install any apps just get through the setup or this will not work
3. If TWRP was installed on the phone for the backup, install the same version of it here. Same thing applies for magisk. When this is all done reboot to recovery.
4. Restore system, data, and boot only.
5. Reboot to system and enjoy.
I know this is complex and a serious pain in the butt, but it is the only way I found to make this thing work. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for for sharing your working process.
1. Do you follow the advice of guides around there that suggest to disable lock screen before the backup?
2. Your system is encrypted, right? Or you decrypted it?
3. What version of TWRP and OOS did you use for your successful backup/restore?

1. I came up with this all on my own, and while some people removed the lock screen stuff, I didn't. There are a few files you will need to delete to remove the lock screen password, but the fingerprint and facial recognition still worked.
2. My system is encrypted - the encryption problems people ran into was from different roms running with different Android security updates. By reinstalling the same rom as the backup was made on, you remove that problem.
3. This worked with both official and bluspark TWRP and on every official OOS rom, and I even tried it on a few of the open betas, until I got sick of the open betas. I haven't tried it on OOS 9.0.3 yet, but I doubt there is a problem there.
EDIT: The file that needs deleted is data/system/locksetting.db you can delete it with the TWRP file manager, and this process also works on OOS 9.0.3

Yes. This guide from @funkwizard for OP6T lists all files, if present, that should be deleted in /data/sytem/ if any one forgot to disable unlock screen during backup.

Hi Guys,
Hoping you can help me with this.
I was originally running Slimkat 4.4.4 and had the latest TWRP installed.
I downloaded the file for LPX13D and extracted all of the files right down to the Flash-all.bat and the images for bootloader, radio, and the system.
I ran the Flash-all.bat, and it installed everything successfully. The device booted, and voila, I am on 5.0 now.
The problem now, is that when I reboot into recovery, I am instead met with the little android guy laying on his back, with a red triange/exclamation point in his chest.
No problem, I say to myself. I'll just flash TWRP manually.
So I go to the bootloader, and try the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (renamed to make it faster to type.)
It goes through the motions, and says it was successful.
But when I go to recovery, it's the same red triange guy still.
I tried pressing volume up, power+volume up, etc. No dice. After about 30 seconds, it reboots on it's own back to system.
When I connect it to the Nexus Root Toolkit, and click on Flash recovery, and then choose TWRP latest, I get a window that pops up that tells me :
______
File Dependency Download
Status: Stock Kernel: Not Present - Need to download (this is in red)
Then a button that says "Download + Update All File Dependencies"
So what's my best option here? Should I let the NRT update the dependencies?

Twrp is not optimized yet well like cwm is for andorid l
Recovery won't work AT ALL no matter what you do until you reflash a KK userdata.img, which also wipes all data in the process.
Lethargy said:
I flashed the new developer preview for 5 minutes or so then went to revert. Recovery wouldn't boot not matter what I flashed, until I flashed a KK userdata.img. So it seems like the new developer preview changes the internal storage/data partition more then the old one.

Well, Twrp worked until I rebooted and then tried going back to it. Then bam! back to the error dude with the triangle.
So, I flashed cwm again, and that one seems to be persisting after a reboot, so I guess I'm stuck with cwm for now....
I also flashed the boot.img and the supersu update to get root working, and it seems to be going well now.
Cwm tells me that I may have lost root immediately after flashing the supersu update, but when I reboot, root is actually working. What a weird bunch of crap to go through.

It isn't whether its persisting or not. TWRP just won't boot properly until you reflash a KK userdata.img. I don't know why CWM would even boot up, nor why anyone would want to really use it anyways.

Okay:
So I extract the userdata from a 4.4.4 stock image, yes? If not, can you point me in the direction of the correct userdata.img
I assume the correct order and syntax is:
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastbook flash recovery twrp.img
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
Select recovery
Wipe data/Factory reset, and then and reboot system.
Set up phone as normal.
Have I overlooked anything?

Yeah. Don't need to boot into recovery and wipe data since flashing a .img with fastboot while in bootloader erases it first then flashes. Just make sure you backup your stuff, including internal storage, off to a PC first if you have anything important.

OPENBETA3 I installed this module magiskden to my oneplus 6 device installed in rom. I installed the system backup from twrp (bluspark v9.85) before installing.
When I set up the module and restart it, the screen was opened and closed, it was not possible to enter magisk manager.
Twrpye and I said 'restore system'. When the Restore process was completed, I said reboot system and went into fastboot mode.
I can't boot to the phone and write twrp. Fastboot is entering mode every time I restart.
I need to save my data. I don't want to flash fastboot rum.
I think there is no way without msmtool. I had the same problem when I tried to restore backup.

This isn't related to the module and seems to happen whenever I try to restore /boot or /system using TWRP. This is easily fixable by flashing the original boot.img
Is there any other solution than flashing the factory rum? At least if I twrp, I would back up internal storage.

You can try flash the boot.img like paphonb said. I didn't knew that and used msmtool. But I saved my data before restoring in twrp so I didn't lose anything just a lil bit time

Hi guys,
I'll tell you the story first, so you can see the whole picture and answer me based on it.
A few days ago I was trying to flash twrp and magisk on my op6 oos 9.0.3. I failed a lot and went into a lot of bootloops and crashdump and black screen but got out of these situations somehow. eventually, I found a way to root using patched magisk and it worked, but I didn't have twrp. So I uninstalled magisc from the app itself and rebooted, but that caused my op6 to get into a bootloop. Luckily I was able to get to the fastboot mode but after trying to flash different twrp imgs, and failing becasue I was just trying without any previous experience and that's stupid, I know. Anyway, fastboot started to give me this error "downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY [ 0.769s] booting... FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error) finished. total time: 0.784s " so I used this command "fastboot --set-active=B" to switch to slot b and it worked, then I flashed twrp and magisk successfully because I learned a lot from those failures.
So, idk what happened to slot a, so when I recieve an update in the future for op6, can I update normally from updates in settings or do I have to do it manually or what? I really have no idea and I would like to have an expectation to what may happen.

As per my knowledge, since you already have your bootloader unlocked and have custom recovery, you might no lt be able to install updates directly. You will have to download them from oneplus' official website and then manually flash the updates. This has to be followed with the normal twrp recovery or unlocked bootloader.
I am not too sure about slot a and b, but I hope the procedure will be same. If you want to directly get updates, you will have to flash original recovery and OOS from oneplus' website.
Download and flash manually using twrp. Should be just fine.

That's really helpful, thanks :highfive:
I need help with my op6.
I was using LOS (Unlocked+rooted) until now and I accidentally brick my device, now it's stuck at the bootloader screen.
It doesn't matter if I'm trying to get into the system/recovery.
These are the steps that I did to get here (as far as I can remember):
Wipe system, data, and cache.
Flash latest OxygenOS (9.0.4) using TWRP (blu_spark_v9.96).
Flash TWRP.
Reboot to TWRP
This time it didn't ask me to unlock it with my pattern, and I saw that all of my files in the sdcard folder are encrypted.
I pressed the other partition (A) manually and reboot to TWRP.
It got stuck on the recovery screen.
I flashed TWRP via ADB.
Now the A partitions files are encrypted, I tried to manually move to partition B again, but stuck at crash dump after reboot.
I flashed TWRP via ADB, this time to B.
And now it's stuck at the bootloader...
I can't use the MsmDownloadTool because it's the bootloader and not the crashdump screen, the tool doesn't recognize the device in order to unbrick it.
I even tried to use this guide, but it didn't help, the msmtool still don't recognize it.
I tried to flash TWRP via ADB and this is what I got:
Code:

I'm out of ideas, what should I do next?
just go use the unbrick tool ?
I've been in your situation a lot of times in the beginning when I started to know about A/B partitioning.
Just fastboot the stock rom found here and you will boot easily in OOS.. Although your internal will be formatted every time you do this.
By the way, when you go to OOS from any ROM, you will always have to format internal storage to make OOS boot. (The step you didnt do in mentioned steps)

I never saw in any other guide that It's necessary to also wipe the internal storage.
The OP6 imaging prosses is even more agonizing than I thought it is. :crying:
I'll try the guide that you sent me and will update, thanks for that.

I agree with you, the A/B partitioning is just a pain in the back.
Try that guide, just let your phone boot into fastboot, plug in pc and run the batch file in the zip of the rom and let it proceed.

Haha, glad to be useful. I know right, fastbooting ROMs are not popular these days. Everyone just follows the unbrick tool..
Enjoy!!
btw, can I now move freely to any other ROM without touching (flashing) the stock ROM?

Yes, if you are booted to OOS once, you can flash any ROMs now. But remember while flashing back the OOS, you will need to wipe internals.

Oh yes, one last thing.
Will I be able to install them without flashing TWRP every time after them (for both of the A/B slots)?

Always flash ROM zip + Twrp
Then reboot to TWRP then flash gapps and magisk(if any).
And never change boot partition through twrp, it will brick you. It's kinda buggy...
My OnePlus 7 Pro keep booting into fastboot mode. Neither I can access recovery nor can start the phone. It's always comes back to recovery.
Please help me getting it done.
Bootloader is unlocked.
You haven't given enough info, tell us step by step how your "Bootloader is unlocked".
We would need to know if you did it properly, you probably need to go into the recovery and perform a "Full wipe". Unlocking the bootloader usually does that anyway.
The normal method is:
Enabled developer settings by pressing the version number in the about section 7 times and entering your pin
Copy the adb developer folder from the mounted OnePlus driver partition you usually get on your computer when attaching the phone, into a folder on your hard drive, and enable adb in developer settings.
In developer settings enable "OEM unlocking"
Reboot into fastboot mode
Open a command window (with admin privileges) in the folder you copied to your hard drive (In Windows, hold down shift and right click inside the folder, then click "Open Command Window..."
Run the command "fastboot oem unlock"
Accept the prompt shown on the phone
This will wipe the phone back to factory reset so ensure you have backed up your data, although you should be doing that before you even start.
Flash the appropriate TWRP recovery partition (which afaik isn't even available yet so I'm not sure why you would unlock the bootloader so soon to be honest
If you didn't perform those steps or performed them in the wrong order then you've done it wrong.
Performing a factory reset in the recovery partition may get it booting again but it's hard to know with the minimal information you've provided.
Although again, why are you unlocking the bootloader when there hasn't been a TWRP version released yet? You won't be able to flash anything, not even Magisk.
I've unlocked bootloader by command of OEM unlocking.
After than the unlock, I rebooted it's again And installed some Magisk file, which made it stuck at fastboot.
I can't access the Recovery nor can restart Phone.
All I can do is switched it off And get back into fastboot again after.
Yeah, you can't flash things with the default recovery (That's just made for flashing the default builds), that's most likely why. Magisk was made to be flashed with TWRP.
Did you use the test TWRP here? If so, then go to that thread for help.
If you can get into the OnePlus recovery you could maybe grab a build from here and flash the default rom back, then start again using the guide I showed you but, tbh, I would wait until a good TWRP build is established and Magisk is confirmed to be working.
That thread also looks like it has the default recovery image too so you can flash that back on the phone with :
fastboot flash recovery filename (Just put the recovery image into the same folder as your adb.exe and fastboot.exe
Then see if you can reboot into it and flash the stock rom back on from the same thread.
How can I get things done back, all I've is fastboot.
It's a New set, please help (

If you have fastboot, I've just told you how to get the default recovery back in above.

Reading that thread again, flashing recovery is not as simple as it used to be due to the A/B partition model used now, so you'll need to read the instructions shown for recovery. My guess is that you didn't read them properly and flashed the recovery to the wrong partition. If you have flashed that TWRP then you need to seek support in that thread.
It's not gonna work with me,
Even if I'll download the zip file it's only flashable with a Twrp or Stock recovery. As stock recovery is not working.
Even if I'll try to flash a Twrp recovery it's showing up an error to me :

This will sound stupid, but I had similar issues with the pixel and it was due to drivers and the port. Tried from a different machine and worked. Do you have the luxury to do so ?
Man, I've flashed like tons of Custom ROMs and Twrp from the same machine everytime.
I used to be a Xioami Redmi Note 5 pro user, And I've flashed almost every ROMs And root and everything, and same with my Redmi Note 3.
I don't think the machine have some fault some how.
It was Just like I had unlocked the bootloader And just after I flashed some Magisk ISO file which got flashed completely, And then all I'm stucked with the Fastboot, everything Stopped working, And everytime I'm dragged info fastboot.
And also as I said, can't flash Twrp.

Why are you trying to flash recovery partitions when they don't exist on this device? Recovery is on the boot partition.

Since you are familiar with custom rom,unlocked bootloader etc you should had known already that you must NOT flash any kind Magisk staff without having proper and functional twrp.
Even if it flashed successful that doesn't mean will work after reboot and normal restart.
That why you've brick your device.
And on the other hand with A/B partition things has changed dramatically evolving all custom made staff and how they works.
Oneplus device not work the same way as Xiaomi you've described.

Any post that describe exactly what changed? I havent flashed custom roms/kernels in close to two years due to OOS being satisfying enough. What I have done is fastboot into twrp and flash magisk(I believe). Will I still be able to do that with OP7 Pro?

Man, thank you so much
You literally made my day,
Wht I've did wrong in a flow was I had given the command: fastboot flash boot and the magisk location.
That was a stupidity, all I forgot was the command.
Now I used the same command and then used oxygen os fastboot flashable all bat file, as suggested by a member.
And here's my phone back. )
Thanks
