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!

YES!! I was that guy!!! Funny I always made a backup on my 5t...but this was new nothing on it I wasn't thinking!!
Geez now my twrp is freezing on the opening screen???
Thanks!!

**** 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Max Lee's method works but he had an outdated boot.img ...once I got the correct one for 5.1.9 all went well...twrp, magisk...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...

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.

It does not work. I've tryed every version from 13 to 13.3 half way thru the flash it just jumps out of recovery and boots by its self. It doesn't bootloop or hurt anything I can tell but it just doesn't install. Ever heard of that?

You need to be on firmware B182+ (which you are)
You need to have twrp 3.1.0+
You need to flash stock boot image before Magisk.
You can get stock boot either from rom zip (boot.img) or stock firmware (update.app) and extract boot using Huawei Update extractor. Then flash boot image manually.

It applies to both. SuperSu and Magisk. I am rooted with SuperSU. There is already a thread on Magisk which states for this. And being a SueprSu user for years, I have seen this myself on my BLN-AL10B375 to B379 and BLN-L21C185C360 to BLN-L21C185C365.

In repository thread you will get on main page or last 2-3 pages. @RedSkull23 has shared it.
Yes, dload replaces stock boot and recovery so that will work.

Got a weird problem. If i flash this boot.img for 365 I can't enter my phone. It boots up, i can enter my pin, but the encryption password doesn't work! It's very strange, cause I've never changed it since first setup! Any idea? Or do you have another boot img for b 365? Thanks

My boot.img provided in repository thread is for BLN-L21C432B365 build, as listed in OP and in my post there; what's your build number? An unmatching build could be the cause of this. For example, recovery for BLN-L21C432B365, differs from BLL-L21C130B365 - the B365 at the end is equal, but the build variant is different and so incompatible

How To Root Oxygen 5.1.7

Oneplus updated the OnePlus 6's Bootloader and you may ask yourself 'Can i still root?'
The answer is yes. It is easy.
1. At first, your bootloader has to be unlocked
2. Just download the Twrp.img and the Twrp installer from twrp.me, then the latest magisk installer
3. Put the magisk.zip and twrp installer zip into the root of your device and boot into bootloader
4. Now you have to open a new shell or cmd window in your adb folder, then type "Fastboot devices" there
5. If your phone is recognized, then do this command: " fastboot boot .\twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img"
6. The op6 should boot into the TWRP, there type in your pincode, pattern, or what so ever you have. If you get a message because of system modification, click 'Keep read only'
7. Go to 'Install', then flash the TWRP installer zip, then magisk right after it
8. Just reboot and enjoy
The procedure is the same as always. I can confirm it's working because i rooted a few minutes ago
Just keep in mind the kernels and custom roms haven't been updated to 5.1.7 base yet and may not work until they are.

Based on how things have been going so far, people are going to be asking. Just saying.
i understand butttttttttttttttttttttt this forum is flooded with how to flash twrp, how to root with 5.1.6, how to install 5.1.5 with twrp ect ect ect lol just trying to reduce clutter and make things a tad bit simpler. No offense guys lol
So if I already have twrp and Magisk installed is the method still the same?
Will this update lock the bootloader back?
Pretty sure I swiped to allow system modifications on my first twrp installation so will that matter?

it now shows only 224 update (canadian vpn), hence don't know what it will do when you take that route, anyone ?

Can't flash anything in TWRP

Hello everyone,
So today, I decided to flash the Adaptive Brightness Mod.
So what I did, I booted into newest TWRP, I flashed Adaptive Brightness Mod. Hitted reboot.
It didn't boot, so what I did is I flashed DP3 again. The system booted, so I thought "Yea **** that mod".
So I booted into TWRP again and tried to root again using magisk. I got again in a boot loop.
Does anyone have a solution? I really want to have root access.
Friendly regards,
Crewz

Wouldn't that be already backed up in the launcher data?
You shouldn't be that mad because of your homescreen set-up getting wiped! Yesterday I ****ed up encryption after trying to go back to Oxygen OS 5.1.11 from Havoc OS (which has August Security Patch), I couldn't boot the device up and TWRP and all my files were encrypted. After hours of trying and flashing, I had no other choice than formatting all my data. Including internal storage. And because I'm dumb, I didn't do a back up of my data for 3 month, so now I have 3 month old data on my phone.
So don't care about your homescreen set-up, as long as you have your pictures/music/data on the phone.
Btw, I'm not sure if I have a solution for you, but can you explain what exactly is the issue now? So you can boot up in the system without magisk installed but with it, you can't?

You can't flash Magisk 16.7 from TWRP. It causes issues more times then not. You need to flash TWRP 16.4 (1642) then let the Magisk manager update to 16.7.
Magisk 16.7 will often give you an error on boot which looks like a vendor mismatch message. I stick with 16.4.
the reason it fails only with root is because the mod he installed is still installed. It only turns on when you have root. remove mod and problem fixed. also, reflashing rom does not remove magisk mods. only uninstalling mod will fix this or a full format.
the mod lives in /data.

Do you have a USB drive with USB C connector?
It is a lifesaver
Why cant you flash 16.7 again. That's the only one I flash in my TWRP and I never have issues.

T-Mobile 9.5.5 boot.img

Does anyone happen to have this? I used the 9.5.3 img for the TWRP with working decrypt, and it booted fine once, however now it keeps booting back to TWRP despite selecting "reboot system." I think someone mentioned they had it, but I can't find it for the life of me. Thanks so much!
No, don't think there are any full zips for T-Mo yet.

I flashed the TWRP with working decrypt. The only problem is, is that I just tried restoring a backup with it, and now I can't get out of fastboot mode. Downloading MSM Tool now :/
MSM Tool?

In case you still need it, I'm fairly certain this is the boot image for GM31CB 9.5.5. I extracted it from my own device when I was flashing the international firmware. I will be honest, it might have the Chinese TWRP patched in. I doubt it though since it I can't find any of the TWRP files in the decompiled image.

No, I flashed TWRP to the opposite partition and extracted it there.

hmm
the instructions for installing twrp mentions having stock boot.img in order to install it
how did you flash to second slot without a stock boot.img?

I didn't use the guide. I flashed TWRP (the TWRP image that is provided in that same thread) to the opposite partition.
