Instructions for installing CarbonROM for Oneplus 6? - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

I can't find any instructions on how to install this Custom ROM I have found instructions for other ROM's that say you have to use Blue Star twrp, is there any reason for having to use this? and can anyone else give full instructions on how to install CarbonROM and what you need for it? Is it the same for all OnePlus 6 custom ROM's?

Why not ask in their thread? Easiest. Answer is that it's the same as all custom roms. Make sure you have oos on both slots

When installing the blue star TWRP do I just install it through my other TWRP and it will automatically replace it?

No make sure you boot into bootloader then in adb type
Fastboot boot blu_spark_twrp.img
Then copy Blu_spark_twrp.zip over to phone and flash using Blu spark twrp that you booted

Flash the zip file, not the image file. Flash it in your twrp.

Yes. If you already have a twrp installed then you can just flash the zip

Thank you, are you talking about if I don't have a TWRP cause I already have one installed, also wondering why I need the Blu Star TWRP instead of the other one? Also, if I want to put OxygenOS on both A and B partitions does the blu star recovery still remain?

I think he was talking about if I didn't have a twrp already, so I can just flash it in my old twrp and it will replace it?

Because your kernel overwrites the recovery with the one that' s within the kernel, because it is a kernel with recovery.
Flash only TWRP .img file via adb.
Go to TWRP' s official page and download the latest TWRP for your device.

[GUIDE] Install Oreo Custom ROMs via TWRP

Good day to everyone! I wish to provide proper steps on how to install the latest Oreo custom ROMs via TWRP in order to lessen the clutter in the custom ROM threads.
You'll need the following:
Latest TWRP Official (Fastboot TWRP)
Latest TWRP Installer (PERMANENT TWRP)
Considering you already installed TWRP via fastboot, we'll make it so that it will be permanently installed and you will not need to flash TWRP via bootloader again.
Download ROM + GApps (or no gapps if Pixel Experience)
Reboot to latest Official TWRP
Do necessary wipes (FORMAT data if having storage number issue; if not, wipe system/data/cache) then transfer ROM + gapps + magisk to internal/external storage
Flash ROM (don't reboot)
Flash latest TWRP Installer (for Permanent TWRP)
Reboot recovery (no need to transfer slots anymore as TWRP does it automatically)
Flash Gapps + Magisk
Reboot to system
To DIRTY FLASH or update the same ROM with an updated version
Reboot to recovery
Flash ROM
Flash TWRP Installer
Reboot recovery
Flash Gapps + Magisk
Reboot to system
For installing custom kernels
Download custom kernel
Reboot recovery
Flash custom kernel
Reboot to system
All of these has been tried and tested by me already.
Hey , where to flash rom??
As you have written gapps + magisk , gapps + magisk twice

Guys, TWRP Installer IS the Permanent TWRP. That's why you need to flash it every time after flashing custom ROMs.

With custom ROMs we have to install Twrp installer every time along with ROM zip, bit awkward.
Is it just me but every time I flash twrp after flashing rom, I got error 20 when flashing gapps. Here's my steps:
- flash rom
- switch partition
- flash twrp
- reboot recovery (or bootloader then flashboot recovery)
- flash gapps -> error 20
Without flashing twrp permanent, I can flash gapps, no error.

Yep. That's because the ROM being flashed overwrites the recovery since there's no recovery partition.

If we need to flash it every time after flash rom so how it's called permanent TWRP I don't understand. That because our device don't have recovery partition? If that so where this TWRP installed ( in which partition)?

It's called permanent twrp because it won't get replaced by built in recovery whenever you reboot to recovery from system. TWRP gets installed within a part of the system partition.

Error 20 if I'm not wrong, means you are using the wrong gapps package.

Yes, I certainly use the right one (8.1), that's why I was baffled when twrp says that my device is 7.1.2 every time I tried to flash the 8.1 gapps. Anyway, flashing rom then straightaway followed by gapps and magisk was fine. I can flash twrp installer later on. But I just don't understand why.

Well that's weird. Works for me by flashing Gapps and Magisk after rebooting to recovery since it switches slots when you do that. Did you possibly come from a Nougat ROM which is why that's the error showing up?

I was thinking of that too but no, I was on Oreo Jan built the first time I rooted the phone and flash LOS15.1. Do you think I should at least flash Oreo stock once? Maybe my bootloader is still Nougat

Android P Installation with TWRP

Hi, how do I install the latest android P on my oneplus 6? I have an unlocked bootloader with twrp installed but not rooted.
Download the P zip via OnePlus forums, flash it through the update section in settings and wipe the phone via recovery. It will wipe TWRP though and replace it with stock recovery.

Flash through ex kernel manager app
If the kernel uses "any kernel" then go to magisk and flash magisk one more time aswell, reboot.
What your saying is that you can't boot to twrp in any way? Not even with phone off and volume down? If not, reinstall twrp (I recommend blu_spark)

@Pepinow Power off your phone. Hold vol up and power, that will take you to fastboot. From there use the vol keys to show recovery at the top then boot to it. This is of course assuming you flashed the twrp zip when first installing it
