I just rooted successfully but didn't install TWRP. Can I just boot back in through fastboot and install it now?

Yes, put the zip on your internal storage and boot into fastboot and then boot into the TWRP image and flash the zip.

Put the TWRP RC1 zip on the internal storage
Fastboot boot TWRP RC1.img
*Might have to do that a couple times for TWRP to properly decrypt.
Flash TWRP RC1 zip to apply it
That's how to get TWRP.
Your saying you did this and when you reboot system from TWRP it just reboots to TWRP?

Almost sounds like you fastboot flashed TWRP instead of fastboot boot TWRP. Either way, I believe you will have to flash the factory image and start over. You could try fastboot flashing the stock boot image first to see if that helps.

Rooting for March Update?

Hello fellow A2 Lite owners!
I just got this device today and would LOVE to root 10.0.7.0, However it seems like the only way to go through this is by using a patched boot image which is not viable because none have showed up for 10.0.7.0 yet.
Will there be any other solutions for this? Thank you.

Obviously, It is my preferred way since I used it on a couple of devices including my Redmi Note 4 and Mi Pad.
My concern is not OTA but whether it would somehow break the ROM
Yes, I am aware of Mi Flash, Flashing stock ROMS, and other techniques but it's just that i don't have time for such long endeavors and would like to have a safe-ish way.
However I will try to get twrp running temporarily to install magisk.

No it will not break the ROM I'm running the March update with twrp n magisk the only thing that does not work is backup n restore there is a new twrp 3.3.3.0 but I haven't installed it yet.

I have followed this guide but it would always result in the installed version of TWRP not installing correctly, and the system mentioning "The System has been destroyed, Press power button to shut down"
How can i resolve this?

Only boot twrp not to Flash it...
Boot twrp command » fastboot boot twrp.img
Flash twrp command » fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I assume you tried "flashing twrp" command, if that's the case it will replace your boot.img to twrp.img that's why it appears the "system has been destroyed" error... Try the "boot twrp command" if you want to access twrp temporarily... Coz right now we cant do(flash full twrp recovery) that as far as I know....

Anyone please let me know the OOS 10 and TWRP/Magisk Situation...

I am currently on OOS 10 OB2/31 and can't seem to find a way to install TWRP and Magisk. Found ways to install TWRP and Magisk via patched boot images on OOS 10 stable but not for OB2/31.... anyone know why it's not as simple as flashing TWRP via fastboot?

Because OnePlus upgraded the bootloader in their OOS10 release. One of the changes was disabling the fastboot boot command that you usually needed to boot to TWRP. Without that command, you had to flash the TWRP img files onto the boot partition first in order to be able to boot TWRP.
There are many -- maybe a bit too many -- guides on how to install TWRP on OOS10. Here and here are some I found.
The gist of it is to boot to TWRP by running the fastboot flash boot twrp_file.img command, rebooting to recovery, then flashing the twrp zip file. And that's pretty much it.
PS In my case, I wasn't able to reboot to TWRP by using mauronofrio's twrp-3.3.1-14 version, and had to use his twrp-3.3.1-11 instead.

Thank you for your help, gonna try following those. Hopefully I don't f up and have to do a msm restore. But why would they disable that command?... Just to make everything complicated? Guess I will not stick to Oneplus next year.

To be fair, the only difference between this method and the old method is just one word and manually rebooting to recovery. You still have to flash the twrp.zip after flashing from bootloader file to install TWRP, so it's not too radically different.

Just download oxygen updater and install 10.0.1 and be done with it

flashed TWRP over boot slot B

I ended up flashing TWRP over my boot slot (B) and now I just boot into TWRP. I have already installed TWRP on boot slot (a). I can't remember which version of oxygenOS I have installed and couldn't find a way to confirm. How can I fix this? Also want to update to latest version of oxygenOS and android. No data on phone yet. phone still connects to computer, adb sideloader and fastboot commands still work work. Thanks

Are you saying you did fastboot flash boot of the TWRP img? You should be doing fastboot boot TWRP img, then flash the TWRP installer zip.
You can get the OS back up and running by flashing the correct boot.img via fastboot. Or use one of the fastboot stock ROMs.

But to recover his phone, the OP will need the original boot.img from his OS version.
OP has already messed up the boot partition.
That has to be fixed first.

Glad you got it recovered.
There is an application called "Partitions Backup".
It allows you to back up all the phone partitions. The one you really want to backup from now on is the boot_a and boot_b.
Since you are rooted when you do an upgrade, grab the boot_a and boot_b before installing Magisk after the install.
This allows you to go back to stock. After you back them up, copy them to a computer.

hey guys. Not able to flash oos through twrp.

Doesn't TWRP back up everything including boot partitions?
Is there nothing that will take the entire internal storage and just make a 'bare metal' image of it for restoring.. the whole entire thing, byte for byte? If not, why doesn't this exist? It just seems so logical to me and would be so incredibly useful. Phone borked? No problem. Just re-image it form the archive you made. To me, that is what TWRP is all about, at least conceptually if not technically.

Guide for installing TWRP on OOS 11 Open Beta(Upto closed release 11)

Backup first, that's a must as always.
If coming from OOS 10 base -
1. Flash OOS 11 OB1/hotfix, after its completion do not reboot
2. Install official/unofficial twrp recovery image to ramdisk from advance menu in TWRP
3. Reboot to recovery
4.a. install magisk(optional) and reboot
4.b. repeat 1 and 2, reboot again then, 4.a.
If already on OOS 11 OB1/hotfix-
1. Flash the attached boot.img from bootloader
2. Reboot to recovery from bootloader itself(booting to system at this point will result in bootloop)
3. Follow the process as mentioned for OOS 10
Thx to Soft_M for boot image
NOTE: Above method is not compatible with OB2
OB2,OB3, closed release users directly flash official latest TWRP zip
NOTE: Installing TWRP on OB3 with any given method will cause safety net to fail

man thanks, that saved me from a bootloop from magisk...

Does this work with the HOTFIX build for OB1?
