I've been away for about a year so I'm behind on everything right now. I just flashed a factory image to get back to Android 8.1 and set my phone up from scratch. I would like to install TWRP and Magisk but have some questions..
TWRP. Do I just find the latest TWRP for this phone and the process is the same as before? Fastboot flash twrp img and then install TWRP zip?
Magisk: I have never used it before so I'm not to familiar at all. From what I can tell I just download the zip and install via twrp? Is there a specific version I should be looking for for the Pixel on 8.1 or will the latest from the Magisk forum work?
I've searched around and keep seeing random issues so I'm wondering if it's as straight forward as mentioned above. I see posts about people trying to install TWRP and Magisk and bootlooping and stuff like that. Thanks!!
Hello look here for the latest Recovery. https://twrp.me/google/googlepixel.html
Flash the TWRP image over the PC.
fastboot boot recovery TWRP.img
Then Flash it via TWRP. (the zip file on your sdcard).
The device has an A and B Partition. It would Flash on both.
If you Flash an custom Rom you Flash it on A Partition you must Flash TWRP.zip again. Reboot the device. After an reboot to Recovery you on B Partition automatically. Here you can Flash Magisk and other zips like custom Kernel or other.
If you Flash the custom Rom on B Partition you must flash magisk and other stuff on A Partition.
With Magisk 18.0 stable, some people have bootloops when flashing TWRP.
Best thing to do is just boot TWRP img when needed instead of flash the zip, maybe this has been fixed with latest canary builds but it's better boot the image just to be sure

So, i have used my whole saturday on unlocking the booloader which was the easiest and quickest and then trying to root, but that has failed every time. I first flashed the stock firmware zip 9.0.2 then I go back I dont reboot and flash the twrp and magisk zip and then it wont boot up,
when I try rebooting after flashing the firmware back to the system it sends me to the firmware,
when I try flashing a new firmware and then boot into fastboot then twrp and flash magisk it wont boot up,
and when I do the same only with twrp it wont neither.
I have tried sevel magisk versions, 17.1,17.2,17.3 none of them worked
as for the twrp blu spark or the one from the twrp website, i was always able to boot into twrp but not really to flash it as that would end in a twrp loop
can PLEASE anyone, someone, with a good heart and patience help me ? im really loosing my ****s over this
:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Try booting into blu_spark twrp
Installing blu_spark twrp
Rebooting to blu_spark twrp
Install magisk 17.3 or 17.1 (I am using 17.3 because it it beta but less stable.)

The normal twrp is known to be buggy on the OnePlus 6 since there was encryption and stuff. Here is the blu_spark twrp IMG to boot:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=30485
And here you need to flash the blu_spark twrp: https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=30484
Flash that then reboot into recovery again
Then flash magisk
If this doesn't work for you I think there is another way.

You might be on the wrong slot. DO you even have a system to boot to? Not sure why you even tyred flashing the 9.0.2 ROM. If I was you I would start over. Use the fastboot ROM to get a clean wiped system booting. After that
fastboot boot bluespark twrp v86. Img
Flash bluespark twrp v86. Zip
Reboot revovery
Flash magisk 17.1

I flashed the rom because my phone didn't boot up anymore after either flashing TWRP or magisk.
Why should I use the fastboot room, what is the benefit if I use it.
Is the reboot to recovery necessary ? I feel like that part is actually not working properly ?

Yes the reboot to recovery is the most nessesary part of it as it will change slots.
You can try boot to recovery
Flash oos full rom
Flash bluespark twrp. Zip
Reboot recovery
Flash full ROM again
Flash bluespark twrp. Zip again.
Reboot recovery
Flash magisk.

Can you explain how to properly boot back into recovery?
Previously I either just went on the back button and flashed the other Zip's or I went back to the reboot overview and pressed recovery there but that also did not seem to work properly I think.

Just press back button in Recovery/ reboot / choose recovery.
Hi
In every rom thread I see about a million different answers on how to properly install the rom. Usually the official instructions are very vague. I've been flashing roms for years but this ab partition is very confusing to me. I just got my oneplus 6 a few days ago. It would be great if someone very knowledgeable in how to do this could make a how to guide for both stock and custom roms. I think it would really help everyone and threads for each rom wouldn't be full of people asking it over and over (and getting different answers). Thank you devs for all that you do.
Custom if you don't know if you have the recommend base installed to both slots:
Flash OOS
Flash twrp
Reboot to twrp
Flash OOS
Flash twrp
Reboot to twrp
Wipe data, dalvik cache
Flash custom
Flash twrp
Reboot to twrp
Flash gapps
Flash magisk
Boot system
Custom update:
Flash updated custom rom
Flash twrp
Reboot to twrp
Flash gapps (not needed, but updated gapps is most likely better to use anyhow..)
Flash magisk.
From custom back to OOS:
Info: Format data needed because you will trigger encryptionsince you're on different securety patch. This is also the same way to go from beta branch of oos to stable since the securety patches is lower (in general) on stable.
How to:
Boot twrp
Plug phone in to pc and take backup of everything
When done format data
Transfer oos, twrp, magisk to phone
Flash oos
Flash twrp
Reboot to twrp
Flash magisk
Update oos from... Let's say 9.0.4 to 9.0.5
From Twrp:
Flash oos
Flash twrp
Reboot to twrp
Flash magisk
Boot
From oos:
Use ota update, let it install until it asks you to reboot.. DON'T DO IT.
instead go to magisk and search for "a/b" one module will be found, install it. DON'T REBOOT
Go to main screen of magisk and press install, install, install to inactive slot (after ota) when it's done you can reboot.
General ****ups:
Don't boot after update?
Flash magisk uninstaller
Try to boot (yes.. Without magisk)
If it boots you know it was magisk issue, most likely you had substratum overlays installed or modules that messed it up.
Reboot to twrp and flash magisk again and set up your modules one by one or apply themes or whatever you do with your root.
Hi
I have problems to install LineageOS on my new OnePlus6. I tried to install LineageOS with the guide on https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/enchilada/install. If I follow the guide exactly step by step no OS is starting and I can't boot into recovery because (I think) twrp isn't installed (just black screen with blue led). But also if I first boot twrp with fastboot boot 'twrp.img' and after install the twrp.zip, no OS is starting after sideload or flash the 'lineageos.zip'. I think, the install doesn't finish correct. In the terminal on my debian I can see, that the installprocess ends at 47%. But I'm not really shure if this is the problem and if it is, how I can solve it. Probably in this thread the same problem is described: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/help/lineage-doesnt-boot-black-screen-light-t3958351 Unfortunately no solution is available in the thread.
Now I flashed the stockrom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665) and have done all updates but don't know how I can install twrp and after LineageOS. I hope somebody can help me. Thanks
Do you have the latest ADB version? Instead of sideloading you can try just transferring the zip files (with e.g. "adb push lineageos.zip /sdcard/") and then installing directly from TWRP.
Make sure you do all the wipes / formats mentioned in the guide. Transfer and flash the lineageos.zip. Then directly after you should flash the twrp.zip Then reboot back into recovery and flash Magisk / Gapps etc if needed. Then finally reboot to system.
Also read this guide if you haven't already as it explains a lot about how flashing ROMs on OnePlus 6 is different to many other older phones.
Hi and thank you makeyourself
I tried the following steps:
1. starting fastboot
2. fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-2-enchilada.img -> twrp starting up
3. adb push twrp-installer-3.3.1-2-enchilada.zip /sdcard/ -> transfer ok
4. adb push lineage-16.0-20190922-nightly-enchilada-signed.zip /sdcard/ -> transfer ok
5. in twrp Wipe -> Format Data
6. in twrp Advanced Wipe -> System
7. in twrp install lineage-16.0-20190922-nightly-enchilada-signed.zip
8. in twrp install twrp-installer-3.3.1-2-enchilada.zip
9. reboot to recovery
After this steps I got the same problem as before. Before the reboot to recovery, twrp showed the message "no OS installed". So I think, the zip weren't installed correctly. Now, I have the black screen with the blue led. Can you find out what I did wrong?
Edit: Now, I can't also boot twrp. Also if I do a fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-2-enchilada.img nothing happens.
Fastboot to twrp (newest blu spark should be fine, or black twrp)
Flash twrp zip
Reboot to twrp
Wipe data, cache.
Flash recommended oos
Flash twrp
Reboot to twrp
Flash recommended twrp (yes...... Again)
Flash twrp (yes... Again, recovery is lost after rom Flash ALWAYS)
Reboot to twrp
Flash LOS or any other custom rom
Flash twrp (rom Flash, so twrp is lost like I said)
Reboot to twrp
Flash magisk (IF ypu want magisk)
Flash gapps (IF ypu want gapps)
Flash kernel (IF I like to run another custom kernel)
Boot
Enjoy
Thank you whizeguy, I'll try this. But just one question about "Flash recommended oos". Which OxygenOS can I flash (this full OTA? https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6-oneplus-6t-oxygenos-9014-906/) and why I have to do this? Sorry if it is a bad question.
You Flash The oxygen OS version that is recommended in Los thread, simple as that.
You have an a/b device, vendor partition (could be other files needed aswell, not 100 % sure) is needed to Flash custom, IF you did Amy research you'd finns some good info. Also for faster answers in The future: post your issue in the thread for LOS, that way you would get help from People Who uses it, knows The exact version you should use and what not
Hey whizeguy, thank you very much. Everything works perfect now. But why for heaven's sake do I have to flash oos and why the guide on the LineageOS site don't tell me this way?
Wow idk what happened here. Mistakenly replied to this thread. Apologies.
So yea I tried to follow this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...-flash-twrp-root-t3954559/page11#post80840591
And I kinda messed up. The main mistake that I think I did was I used "Install Recovery Ramdisk" and selected the TWRP.img
Can anyone help? Can I undo that?
twrp is supposed to be done like that should flash magisk after and it will boot always flash magisk after twrp or it wont boot after magisk you flash kernel
Flash OOS through Fastboot
you should be able to either flash the TWRP installer zip or flash your current OS in TWRP.
Thanks everyone, everything's working now
Hi all,
I just updated to 10.3 on my 7 pro plus. I know I really don't need twrp I do have the stock recovery but I like twrp. If I go thru the adb route, booting into twrp img and installing twrp zip, will it install into both slots? And will I lose root? Thanks for any help.
I'm not sure on the answer to your question but I used this guide to update and I didn't lose twrp.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/guide-bootloader-unlock-twrp-install-t3940368
Boot img, flash zip, flash magisk. Should give you twrp and keep root.
Thanks all. I just bit the bullet and tried flashing twrp.img from the twrp site to install the twrp.zip but the screen just stayed on fastboot so I rebooted into normal then attempted again with mauronofrio img and zips. ( Then I had to Magisk after I rebooted recovery.) It's all good. I hope this helps someone else as well.
