100% proper way to install roms?

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.

Updating OOS Ota and loosing Root

Phone currently rooted and using xxxNolimits rom and Smurf kernel
Update available and getting below warning.
So if I update do I have to start from scratch again and re root.
So download update and then don't reboot system but reboot to twrp and flash Magisk again or do I flash updates and then Magisk

Fair cop on my behalf?
Just was not sure what to remove in Magisk as have few modules installed including substratum, you tube vanced theme, systemless hosts and xxxNolimits.
Take it just first 2 I remove

I always flash TWRP as a magisk module before rebooting, reboot into recovery, flash TWRP again, reboot into recovery again (unnecessary I'm sure, but i'm paranoid), then flash magisk, reboot into system and good to go.

That's what I've done wrong and lose twrp after updates. I need to reboot to recovery with adb commands and install twrp.

TWRP is installed to boot partition on this device (no discrete recovery partition). So anytime you update, the boot partition is overwritten with a new stock boot partition (therefore, no TWRP). To update and stay rooted and with TWRP, simply OTA update, do NOT reboot. Go to Magisk Manager. Flash TWRP installer zip as if it were a Magisk module. It will say you are unrooted, so (again, in Magisk Manager) install Magisk again, picking the option "Install to inactive slot (after OTA)". Reboot, and you should be updated and still rooted.

That's how I update everytime. But sometimes just for hahas, I've rebooted to recovery, just because, and it would reboot to factory recovery , and twrp wasn't there. I was rooted, just no twrp. ( I know weird)

Bootloop after magisk module install

Hello everyone,
I recently installed Magisk and TWRP and at first everything was working completely fine, than I installed the f-droid privileged extension module the device started bootlooping.
I managed to fix the issue through TWRP (Fix bootloop option) and completely uninstalled Magisk through the official uninstaller. Thing is every time I'm trying to reinstall Magisk the problem returns.
Please help.

Happened to me to....you need to uninstall that exact module from your system....
You can uninstall any modules even from TWRP...
go to file explorer on TWRP
Open data then adb an then modules and delete unnecessary folder otf module...

This is strange normally when you flash magisk uninstaller every module will be uninstalled, it's used to do a clean flash of magisk, infact when you reinstall magisk no module will be there and you need to reinstall everything

Let me think
Try this:
1) flash latest magisk uninstaller
2) reboot to system and make sure it's starting and working (no bootloop and/or no other problems)
3) Reboot to TWRP and flash magisk, don't let TWRP doing anything else
4) reboot to system, it must be works
Alternative is:
1) flash latest magisk uninstaller
2) reboot to system and make sure it's starting and working (no bootloop and/or no other problems)
3) reboot to TWRP, dirty flash latest oos (10.3.1), then TWRP, reboot to TWRP
4) same as point 3
5) once you've reboot to TWRP at least one time after flashing oos, flash latest magisk
6) reboot to system
Only question is: which magisk version are you using?
EDIT: If "Fix bootloop option" is a flashable TWRP file, then follow directly the alternative way

I have just tried the first method and unfortunately it did not work. The device keeps booting into fastboot instead of system. I will try the second method tomorrow and report here. Just to make sure I have it right, dirty flash is flashing the ROM without wiping the data first?
Magisk version is latest stable v20.3

Thanks! The second solution did the trick. I'm pretty sure TWRP "Fix bootloop option" somehow caused the issue.

Great! :good:
Because once you flash "Fix bootloop option" it will stay in system partition and the only way to remove is to reflash system through oos zip

hahaha i think magisk rooting method fail from safetynet check and module install. After a bootloader from specific module (disablerliboemencrypto) i restore my stuff to try another module (Bluetooth ..) a bootloop again happen
sorry but,GOOGLE beats YOU @topjohnwu.

Hello, So i tried to install GPS joystick privacy mode app as a system app first thru titanium backup then ..., i rebooted and now im on boot loop, what do i do?
Any help is appreciated, Thanks

Hold Power + vol up + vol down for several seconds should put you in bootloader. Or alteranately, Power+vol down for several seconds should send you to TWRP if you have it installed. From there, I'm thinking you may need to flash the stock ROM again, since you were messing with the system partition, and the phone is not booting now. Either flash stock ROM in TWRP, or use the fastboot stock ROM.

I didn't have twrp installed and i still dont, i patched the boot image with magisk and all i have is root cause i cant seem to keep TWRP installed after 9.5.3, im currently on 10.3.0

You should be able to fastboot flash stock boot.img from the fastboot ROMs to get the phone running again: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424
This will unroot the phone. But you should be able to easily root again by the method you did originally.
What is the problem you are having with installing TWRP? You haven't specifically described how you tried to install. I've had no issues using the TWRP installer zip, after multiple updates.

You need to re flash stock so, boot lastest twrp (fastboot boot twrp.img) and flash lastest stock rom.
And if you need an app as system use magisk module App Systemizer (you also need busybox module and Termux app from playstore) this is the only way (that I known) to convert user apps to system

Ive tried that it only boots to recivery, i restarted my phone completely with msm its wokring fine now but even after i root on 10.3.0 i still cant get twrp
when i try to install "fastboot flash twrp" it goes thru but it always boot loops to fastboot but when i flash the stock boot image it goes to normal and i can boot into the phone again

tried that first part too, cant get into twrp and that makes sense now, i installed busy box but never opened the app to install to system/xbin

here's how ive done my part so far.. ever since i bricked my device last feb 24 , rendering it totally unresponsive.. that not even vol up & power button dont work
1. had to use msm tool just to boot my device. successfully boot my device to 9.5.3
2. device seemed to have a locked bootloader again so i un.lock it again. downloaded a patched 9.5.3 boot.img and flashed it via fastboot
3. successful root confirmed..
4. downloaded twrp 3.3.1-75 unofficial installer.. about 17.5mb. flashed it thru magisk as a module.. then install magisk ( as recommended) then reboot.
5. after a reboot.. and setting it up to my liking,, i reboot to twrp to flash the latest 10.3.1 stable rom..
6. flash twrp installer again.
7. hit reboot then choose Recovery . phone reboot to recovery again
8. flash magisk.zip which i downloaded earlier. then reboot.
done
updated to 10.3.1 with magisk & twrp intact..
btw.. i really dont know how to force my phone to reboot to twrp via PC ADB fastboot command.. easiest way for me to install TWRP is by flashing the TWRP INSTALLER as magisk module

That is because that is NOT the correct way to install TWRP img. You need to fastboot boot TWRP, then once in TWRP flash the TWRP installer zip, as I already mentioned.
This is described in the TWRP dev's thread (and you will see no mention of fastboot flash TWRP).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...nt/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3931322
Also make sure you use a current version of TWRP (latest is unofficial -76) which you can get from the above link.

and it can only be installed by installing it as magisk module

Issues getting root back after Android 11 Update OP6

Hey, after installing android 11 on my Oneplus 6 I have servere issues on getting root back.
Both methods I used result in a stuck boot.
Method 1: fastboot boot twrp, then install magisk.zip (tried with both 21.4 (last with a zip) and the renamed 23.0 (from apk to zip)
Method 2: Extracted boot.img from my OTA update, then patched with magisk 23.0.
Flashed the new boot.img -with fastboot -with twrp both result in a stuck boot.
Suprisingly flashing the extracted boot.img from the OTA boots fine, but that image is without magisk
Update: I have extracted the boot.img directly from the phone, patched it and it still doesn't work

I've also tried fastboot boot twrp with a variety of versions of twrp after upgrading to 11.1.1.1 but with no success.
If someone could recommend a verified way to root a op6 with 11.1.1.1 I'd appreciate it

twrp actually works, but after flashing magisk or flashing a magisk boot.img it breaks. I have a working version here
Ping me if you get magisk working

I can confirm the TWRP-3.5.2-enchilada-Nebrassy-2.img run on my OP6 without any issue and allowed my to install the latest magisk, giving me a fully functioning root for my 11.1.1.1 ROM. Thanks for the help

Which installation method of magisk did you use?
How long did you wait after first boot?

I downloaded the full 11.1.1.1 ROM as I was upgrading from a previous rooted 10.3.x version. I placed this file in the phones root directory and use the "local upgrade" feature.
When that completed I rebooted the phone a few times just to make sure everything was working as expected. I usually waited 1-2 minutes before rebooting every time.
Next I placed the latest magisk version file into the root of the phone rebooted into the bootloader and performed fastboot boot TWRP-3.5.2-enchilada-Nebrassy-2.img which booted into the TWRP as expected. Then I installed the magisk.zip and rebooted the phone into a nice newly rooted magisk environment. Tbh I didn't wait anymore 10-20 seconds to reboot after installing magisk while in TWRP.
I hope that's helpful for you

Thanks for the reply, as a last question: Which magisk version did you use (could you link i?t). I assume you took the magisk v23 apk and renamed it to .zip? or what did you do?

Yes. I used the latest canary build of magisk and simply renamed it to magisk.zip

Hmm, I perfectly copied your instructions and still get a bootloop. Even reflashed 11.1.1.1 again. Might be time for a reset

Do you actually get a bootloop or it just gets stuck in the unlocked bootloader warning screen?
Mine hangs there for several minutes before booting, I reflashed several times because of it but all I had to do is wait.

I leave the "bootloader unlocked" screen and the rotating "circle" animation plays. I even can connect via adb logcat to see the boot logs (but I do not understand them, though they clearly loop)

is there a zip version of TWRP-3.5.2-enchilada-Nebrassy-2 available that I can flash or can i flash the standard twrp latest zip after booting in to the nebrassy recovery so that it is permanant recovery?
Also can I flash the latest 23 relase of magisk or does it have to be the canary?
I was able to successfully boot in to the nebrassy recovery but i don't want to get in to a permanent bootloop if the standard twrp zip will break things after flashing or the stable relase of magisk will get me in to a bootloop
Thanks @UraniumDonut !

The twrp image should have a button in twrp called "install current twrp to recovery" or similar. With magisk I cannot help you as I have bootloops with every version of magisk , but @Thratchen had success with the canary version (I didn't)

Thhank @UraniumDonut - that worked - I have never before used that method and honestly didn't even know about it. I use the official documented twrp way which is to first fastboot in to twrp and then install the zip file which has to be located on the phone file system. This method seems a lot easier!
As to magisk, I usually flash that from twrp using the zip file method and never have had any issues. But with all the issues surrounding oos 11 I am playing it safe as I don't want to get in to a boot loop. Will do some more research before I try something. But thanks to you I have made 1 step forward progress!

I wiped
No need to boot first
Wiping once is enough
I'm using 23
I did not install twrp at all, just booted it, flashed Ota and magisk and reboot.

I'm out of ideas. I followed your guide exactly.
Flashed 11.1.1.1 OTA.zip
The log said "installing to inactive slot _b, reboot recovery to flash more zips"
I wiped dalvik,
I rebooted into recovery slot b (I didnt boot into system)
I installed magisk 23.0 APK renamed to zip. It installed into slot b.
I did not wipe dalvik.
I rebooted into system.
I still get a stuck boot (OnePlus circles rotating)
Bonus: after "fastboot flash boot stock_boot.img" it boots fine (but no root)
I never installed TWRP, just "fastboot boot TWRP"
I understand nothing

Just for reference here
