Update TWRP went wrong, how to solve? - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

I updated TWRP my Oneplus 6 to the latest 3.0.0.0 version. I am on Beta 16.
I installed the ZIP in the old TWRP and it installed itself on partition A and B.
When I rebooted the phone I get an error with; device corrupted and only option is to press power.
When I do this it starts to TWRP or I get the same error message again.
How to solve this? I need the files on my phone....
I read somewhere to extract the boot.img file from a full ota package and flash this in TWRP. Is this correct?
I already downloaded the OTA package but in this zip there is no boot.img....Can anybody give me a link?

Try blu_spark TWRP

I downloaded the patched boot image here:

I followed this tread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/patched-boot-image-magisk-16-7-beta-t3818853
It works!

enable AVB 2.0/dm-verity from magisk manager and flash magisk again from manager

Ota flash not working

I have a one plus one that is rooted and twrp v2.8.5.1 installed
In about phone it says I'm running 12.1-YOG4PAS1NO
The phone started telling me I have a system upgrade
I have been round the install update booting to twrp path twice
So I downloaded the .....1NO to ...2QL ota
Boot into TWRP and try to install the zip file and it says it can't do it as this device has one plus/bacon/A0001.44.2/KVT49L/XNPH2SR: User/release keys
What can I do?

I've come across this today (my OPO was rooted and I had TWRP installed), I was able to install the OTA via returning the OPO back to an unrooted stock build. You can easily do this via getting the 'Fastboot' zipped version of your current .....1NO build.
Once you have this, you only need to fastboot flash the following: - boot.img, recovery.img and system.img
After flashing just these three images, yes you'll loose root but you'll be able to OTA update to the ......2QL build via the normal phone method - hten if you want, you could then reflash a TWRP recovery and re-install a supersu.zip
One thing I forgot to add, which maybe helpful to others as it took me a moment to realise, both boot.img and recovery.img flash without issue, but due to it's size to flash the large system.img you'll probably need to brake it down into flashable chunks, notice the change in fastboot commands: -
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -S 512M flash system system.img​

OTAs can only be flashed through stock recovery..applicable to all devices
Hello,
on the same subject, I am looking for explanations on how to create twrp flashable files for ota updates. Do you know where I could find any resources?
Thx
I had the same issue while installing the incremental update (I got root and TWRP); I solved it simply installing the signed zip of ...2QL version which was pulled out yesterday afternoon. My only concern was about root that could be wipe away with the new installation, so I directly installed SuperSU via zip. Everything works fine till now

Installed twrp phone reboots to twrp

I installed twrp on my pixel on 7.1.1 it reboots to tarp again I got it to boot to the p.s. by clicking reboot / a on bottom left option but get error codes and can't open a lot of apps. I tried to install a tom and clear device cache and cause fails. Anyone know how I can fix this. I thought I used all the latest files

Did you fastboot boot into TWRP, then flash twrp-pixel-installer-sailfish-3.0.2-0-RC1.zip? Were you stock prior?
Installed img through pc then installed the zip file with twrp. I found a article here stating I need to flash stock ing to get back to normal

Yes, you are not supposed to install twrp, just boot into it. If you install it by mistake, you go back, flash stock boot.img, and do it again.
This is from Dees_Troy's post located here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/development/twrp-alpha1-pixel-devices-t3500314
Installation:
If you already have TWRP installed: Download the latest zip and install the zip using TWRP.
If you do not already have TWRP installed: Download both the img and the zip. Copy the zip to your device. You will need to have fastboot binaries and the correct drivers installed. Power off your device completely. Hold volume down and turn on the device. Your device should now be in the bootloader. Connect the device to your PC. Open a command window and run the following command from the proper location:
fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img
This will temporarily boot TWRP on your device. If you are using a lockscreen pin/pattern/password and do not get prompted to enter your passord, reboot to the bootloader and try again. Go to install and browse to the zip and install the zip. If you are currently rooted with SuperSU, you will need to reflash the stock boot image before installing TWRP. After installing the stock boot image, follow the instructions for installing TWRP. Once TWRP is installed, grab the very latest SuperSU released on 2015-11-15 or later and install SuperSU.
If you accidently flash TWRP to your device using fastboot instead of temporarily booting the image, you will need to download the latest factory image for your device and reflash the boot image.
@Tulsadiver First off, thanks for the post on this. I installed TWRP to slot A by accident and am finding myself in this same predicament (though I found that I can boot by switching to slot B). I found another post online that mentioned what you commented on, specifically:

Having previously downloaded Oreo 8.1 and setup root, I had loaded into TWRP, went to install, selected the TWRP zip, and installed (as per what you had suggested and what I read earlier). This is what led me to the current problem, making me realize that I'm missing something in the description. Now, I likely don't need to flash TWRP (I don't develop and used flashfire to do upgrades) but my last upgrade left me rootless and I felt having it installed would make life a little easier. I was hoping to ask for a clarification on the TWRP install.

Things have changed with 8.1. you have to root with magisk. From slot b you cannot fastboot flash boot_a boot.img?
I believe the instructions now are to boot to TWRP, install TWRP pixel installer zip, then flash Magisk zip
Here is where TWRP files are here

I hadn't tried yet. I was worried about messing things up further without asking for help online first. I'll give this a shot later. Does boot.img refer to the android image file? (ie: what I'd download from the OTA site?)

Yes, the zip file that is located where the flash-all.bat is. Unzip it and flash the boot.img.
I bought a Pixel 2 on swappa. It had different bootloader's on slot a and slot b. I couldn't flash updates when on slot a. I thought I was hosed but from slot b I could flash to slot a so now I'm fine. Slot a had a preview bootloader.

Stuck on Sony's logo after trying to root and install LineageOS

Hey,
I have used Sony Developer's documentations in order to unlock my bootloader, then upgraded it with Emma.
Also, I have installed TWRP using fastboot and also tried to install LineageOS.
But, every time I try to turn on the device, it is stuck on Sony's logo and gets warmer with time.
TWRP, fastboot mode and flash mode are accessible.
What can I do?
Thanks!

How did you tried to install LineageOS? If you want to go back to stock rom use Emma to flash stock.291
Remember that after flashing TWRP you need to enter recovery by pressing power+volume up and then wipe system/data/cache partitions before flashing LineageOS zip

I have just flashed the stock rom with Emma.
What do you now? What to install in what order?
what I did previously was to use fastboot to flash TWRP and then flash lineageOS through the device itself (using TWRP). But it says the file is corrupted, although i tried 2 different zip files (both for the z3 of course) but both are corrupted.
thanks!

Nice! Now you can follow Instructions from the How to install section in https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/orig-development/7-1-cyanogenmod-t3508140 you can skip point 1 and start from 2.
Be sure that your bootloader is still in unlocked status before, otherwise you can unlock it again with flashtool. Otherwise rom won't boot. That's all, good luck

It is probably the zip file itself which is (like TWRP states) corrupted.
Try to redownload the zip from the LOS thread and flash it, guess something went wrong with your first download and/or transfer of the zip to your SD.

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

Unable to make a stable boot image?

Hello, I had my OP7P rooted on android 11, but after updating to 11.0.6.1.GM21AA, I just couldn't get root to work.
I downloaded the OxygenOS 11.0.6.1.GM21AA from oneplus.com, extracted the boot.img, downloaded the new (supposedly with Android 11 support) TWRP (twrp-3.6.0_11-0-guacamole.img), booted to the TWRP, and installed root using the magisk APK, when I booted the phone had "Android Intellegnce stopped working" all sort of apps stopped working as well and some also crashed when I tried to open them, I flashed the original boot image and after some research I saw that using Magisk Canary build might help, so I tried with it too and same result.
I tried installing root using Magisk.apk, I tried patching a boot image using Magisk (both versions) but to no avail.
Some notes:
-Using the Canary build actually rooted my phone unlike the normal Magisk, but with problems still.
-When trying to use TWRP's "Flash Current TWRP" option, it overwrite my boot image and when trying to boot to fastboot or system it booted to recovery instead.
I will be glad for any help because having an unrooted device sucks.
Thanks in advance and sorry for any grammar mistakes (English is not my first language)
May be the first thing I'd think of trying it to disable any/all Magisk module installed.
Then, with the full OTA ROM stored in the main storage directory of your device... Basically a dirty Flash using the same OOS version you are using now and that should save the wipe/reset...
OTA Flash that and do not reboot and in Magisk manager check to see if manager is able to install Magisk as in install after OTA (?). That should work and then reboot device then verify. Don't forget to re-enable and Magisk modules...
Hope that can and will point you into the right direction.
I've not bothered with TWRP since I installed it then the next OTA went back to stock recovery. So, might be worth skipping TWRP for root as is not required so far as I can tell ... But I also have a Windows computer set up to flash via adb command alternatively.
Edit:. Think I forgot to say that the OTA update changed my TWRP back to stock recovery... But that's easy enough it change if desired

Hello, thanks for the reply, I wanna get a few things straight before doing anything that have the potential to brick my phone.
1. My phone rn isn't rooted, so I cant uninstall or disable Magisk modules, I CAN root my device but it is very unstable and im not sure doing it is a good idea, maybe there's another way to disable them?
2. What do you mean by dirty flash? Using the device update section and selecting the official OOS version I downloaded from OnePlus.com?
1) may be forget about root for now as that's probably not the priority at this time. Getting a stable operating system is the priority. And skip TWRP (don't see the point of if being needed at this step either).
2) my best guess is that I've used oxygen updater from the play store to download the full update (not incremental update) that exactly matches the one you have installed now - or search here and find the match to download or used the OnePlus cite to get the file. Then once that is downloaded to your device - go to settings/system/system updates/local update and install and reboot. That's the dirty Flash as in don't wipe/reset your device either before/after the installation. I'm hoping that this method will clean up both the recovery and boot images to stock and hopefully restore stability to your device without the wipe/reset.
Hope that helps and restore the device stability without TWRP nor root.
Hi wugga3, thanks again for your time, unfortunately a stable device is not my problem, I have managed to make a stable boot image by downloading the OOS version from the Oneplus website and flashing the boot image after attempting to root my device unsuccessfully.
My problem right now is that my device isn't rooted and I can't manage to root it using the methods I mentioned above, I currently have an unrooted stable OOS version 11.0.6.1.GM21AA.

How about installing just the magisk APK then taking the exctracted boot.img patching it in magisk APK, then disabling all security , take the patched boot.img and flash it in fast boot ( fastboot flash boot boot.img) reboot to system .

Hello, I had my OP7P rooted on android 11, but after updating to 11.0.6.1.GM21AA, I just couldn't get root to work.
I downloaded the OxygenOS 11.0.6.1.GM21AA from oneplus.com, extracted the boot.img, downloaded the new (supposedly with Android 11 support) TWRP (twrp-3.6.0_11-0-guacamole.img), booted to the TWRP, and installed root using the magisk APK, when I booted the phone had "Android Intellegnce stopped working" all sort of apps stopped working as well and some also crashed when I tried to open them, I flashed the original boot image and after some research I saw that using Magisk Canary build might help, so I tried with it too and same result.
I tried installing root using Magisk.apk, I tried patching a boot image using Magisk (both versions) but to no avail.
Some notes:
-Using the Canary build actually rooted my phone unlike the normal Magisk, but with problems still.
-When trying to use TWRP's "Flash Current TWRP" option, it overwrite my boot image and when trying to boot to fastboot or system it booted to recovery instead.
I will be glad for any help because having an unrooted device sucks.
Thanks in advance and sorry for any grammar mistakes (English is not my first language)

Here's an Orangefox prerooted OxygenOS 11 boot.img that works on 11 and 12. Just boot to fastboot, connect to a PC open a command prompt in the same directory and type..
fastboot flash boot boot-v9-root24.img...
Also it's easier to just flash both slots by this commands..
Fastboot flash boot_a boot-v9-root24.img and then fastboot flash boot_b boot-v9-root24.img...
I dual boot with this version of twrp and here's a solid boot img. You can flash it also in recovery or with "partition manager off play store. Check it out.
Fixed!
Thanks so much for the suggestions, which I might didn't fully consider in a rush...
The solution was to root my phone, reboot it all shaky and try to disable all Magisk modules (took me 2 tries because of the crashes and stuff), then flash again the original boot image, rebooting, creating a rooted boot.img using Magisk and flashing it.

First of all thanks for the help but I ended up fixing it in another way.
Second of all, not really related but do you know if I can use this recovery on OP7Pro A12 custom Rom? (and flash it)
