[Newbie Question]TWRP gone after OTA update OSS 5.1.6

I have an oneplus 6 with official OSS 5.1.5 and TWRP installed. But after OTA update my phone to OSS 5.1.6, i cannot boot to TWRP anymore. Is TWRP gone after OTA update? My OEM unlocking still unlocked.

Have u not read anything in these forums, tutorials or anything?
There are like 50 threads on how to upgrade and about the new partitions for op6, it is even clear when u installed twrp too

Hi, just to clarify when you install an OTA on the oneplus 6 it uses the new partitioning system which is different so to remedy the situation just try reflashing TWRP enchilada installer using fastboot.

Previously, i've installed Beta(unofficial) version of TWRP, now i want to re-install TWRP with Official version , do i need to remove or do something firstly?

To fix it just download the official TWRP for oneplus 6 from the official team win recovery project page and then you put that on your phone, and flash using your currently installed TWRP then after that make sure you also install the root package as installing the new version of TWRP will modify the new boot image, Also a good time to mention that it will install in both slots (Seamless update slots) Treble slots if you will just to be aware.

Just follow one of the many upgrade guides. Skip the part about upgrading to 5.1.6 but for the rest follow the steps exactly. No need to explain all this in yet another thread imo. You'll need a pc though.

that's would be great if twrp can be flashed and stays there without wiping as well as root.

Pleasssseeeeee read before creating a new thread

Wait!
Don't install 5.1.6 ROM because OP has retired it. The last version availabe on OP site is the 5.1.5.

You can't boot into twrp because it's not there anymore. The OTA created a completely stock version of the OS that you're now booted on. You need to reinstall twrp and magisk according to the posted guides. This is going to be the case with all OTAs. The stock updater looks for root, and when it's there, it installs a complete OS, not an incremental update.

TWRP on Android 10

After recently bricking my Oneplus 6 by trying to flash the latest TWRP on the latest Android 10 OTA from Oxygen Updater, I found a post from official TWRP explaining how root with a10 will take a while to implement due to changes that Google has made to their partitions.
So I guess for anyone trying this out on their own, be warned. You will probably end up bricking your device like I did and will probably end up having a bad time.
Please correct me if i'm wrong though, peace!
Edit: can confirm fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-11-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img from the other popular post is working!

If you already have a working TWRP on OOS 9 you should be fine as long as you flash a working TWRP afterwards. Blu_spark TWRP 9.101 is compatible (please not 9.101 no earlier version will work).
Also don't use Magisk 20 only 20.1.
There is already a pre-patched version out there. You can fastboot flash it (as fastboot boot doesn't work). An easier way (without a pre-patched version) is currently being worked one as you pointed out already

just updated to a10
boot into twrp, flash new bluspark twrp
flash FULL ota a10 image
reflash twrp
reboot into twrp
boot into system
boot back to twrp
install magisk 20.1
a10, twrp and root working

Which build did u use mate? R108 is not working with android 9, I tried flashing it using my older installed twrp.
It says unsupported android version. And in github r108 says only for android 10.

r108 is the kernel not twrp
https://github.com/engstk/android_device_oneplus_enchilada/releases/tag/v9.107

Thanks again mate.. I will give this one a try.

there is a problem with Magisk 20.1, after all flashes the system is booting ok with Magisk working but after I give first program root access and rebooting its stuck on bootloader and not booting to system.

I can confirm that this is working for me. I successfully upgraded from Android 9, Oxygen OS 9.0.9 to Android 10, Oxygen OS 10. Steps that I followed :
1) Flashed new twrp from link in the above post by akri1337 using my previously installed twrp : bluspark 9.85.
2) Flashed Oxygen OS 10 full update and added to queue latest bluspark twrp which I flashed in step one as it would be overwritten by flashing the full OTA update.
3) Rebooted into recovery again to switch to active slot.
4) Flashed Magisk 20.2 to regain root.
This process successfully upgraded my Oneplus 6 without any data loss.
Please note that I disabled all magisk modules just to be safe before starting the upgrade process but didn't uninstall magisk. I was on Magisk 20.2 earlier.
Hope this helps everyone.

Which magisk? Ver 20.1 ?

Why is it that I get an error when trying to flash the full OTA update using TWRP? Something about error 7 and not have a digest file. Is there a full OTA update file that everyone is using? I tried the signed full zip from here on XDA and the one from Oxygen Updater. I get the same error with both.

Still confused as to how everyone else can flash these zip files through TWRP and I cannot.
I'm currently Magisk rooted and have TWRP installed. Will I lose root and TWRP when updating through the local upgrade method?

Yes, you will need to flash twrp with adb and going through the hole process of installing twrp and magisk, but for me its not worked well, after first boot to Android Q with magisk 20.1 and granting some apps root access when I rebooted the phone its not booting to system and going to bootloader, I think its related to some problem with magisk 20.1.

is it possible to upgrade from pie hos to a10 oos using local update?

hello there.
sorry for making a new thread .. ive asked my question multiple times no one answered properly. so here's the situation:
just received the phone from china . i'm on android pie hos. and want to update to ob7 . having root and twrp is it the right way to do it? :
1. update to ob7 using local update and full zip file.
2. unlock the bootloader and flash twrp 70 (or 74 i'm not sure?) using adb
3. flash magisk and twrp installer in twrp recovery
4. done!
i heared its better to use twrp 70 and dont know the reason. whats wrong with the latest version?

Not sure if that will work, but locally upgrading from h2OS to OOS worked on my old op6 when I had it.
If it does not work;
Backup your files first then you need to unlock your bootloader.
Then boot twrp via command prompt. Once booted into twrp. Wipe data and do a factory reset there. Flash twrp installer then reboot into recovery.
Flash OB7, twrp installer and magisk then reboot to recovery again and flash ob7, twrp installer and magisk then reboot to system
I'm using .74
Not sure what the problem is/are.
Regards

Which route you want to follow twrp or official? If its official i'd say try the msm tool.. That will put you on oldest pie and then you can do OTA..
Twrp is self explanatory..

Installing Magisk on stock global miui

Since kernel releases are yet to be published " a total duck move by xiaomi ?" I wanted to keep on using the stock ROM without changing anything but miui is too cringy for me to live with it, so I need to put the ol'rooting hat once again
My question is.. did any one actually root it using magisk and can still get ota , or you would need to uninstall magisk then update then get magisk again?
Also what happens to TWRP , can it coexist with miui ?
I had a previous xiaomi phone (mido) but tbh I never even thought of using the miui and switched to RR once I unlocked the bootloader ?

You can get ota with magisk but updating will rewrite boot and recovery so you'll need to re-root.

FYI, I'm still on stock EU v12.0.3.0 with mauronofrio TWRP and rooted with Magisk.
I got two OTAs already, the last with v12.0.4.0 -- and it even tried to apply one of them while I wasn't looking but it obviously failed, since there's no stock recovery.

What if I reflash the stock recovery.img after rooting, that might get the ota working ?
Yes I know I would still have to flash twrp and magisk again after it
I'll test it on my old phone first , hope it can work as a reference for one last time of it's miserable life

I thought the same, but then I'm not keen on moving to v12.0.4.0 right now, so I didn't budge. Let us know how it goes. :good:

Still the same, just flash the root file and reboot it up... And also install magisk manager to have root management
Orange Fox is much more recommended for our Poco by ManoloRey for installing AOSP ROMS...

OnePlus 7 pro oos 11 beta 1 TWRP and root

Hello everyone.
I was wondering if anyone has found a work around to get a custom recovery to work on the oos 11 beta one for op7p gm1917.
I've tried msm tool and have working TWRP untill I install ops 11.
Once I install the beta 1 and TWRP booting to recovery is stuck in a flashing TWRP logo. Only way to recover from this is to flash stock boot image.
I do have root as I patched the stock boot.img with magisk 8.0.4 then flashed the boot image with fastboot.
If anyone could help me get this TWRP up and running I would definitely appreciate it.
Thank you...

TWRP is not available for Android 11 yet, so you will have to wait.

Thanks, buddy.

You guys can flash a zip of twrp like orangefox dual boot. Right after the ota in twrp. With a pen drive to get twrp in OS11. No need to actually use a dualboot its just a really nice build I use it.

Anyone tried this method? https://www.droidwin.com/update-oneplus-to-android-11-oxygenos-11-via-twrp-without-losing-root/
