Updated to 9.5.9 and now it reboots into TWRP over and over.

I followed the previously rooted guide to update to 9.5.9 and now when the phone reboots, it gets to the unlock screen and immediately tells me its shutting down and reboots back into twrp again. How do i fix this? Please help and thank you.

what method did you use (there are a million rooted guides)? did u get the correct OS OTA for you model phone? provide us more info please.

Looks like i forgot to turn off the magisk modules. I had to go into twrp and delete them all and re download the modules. silly me

I'm having a similar issue. I can't figure out what to do, but I i went and deleted all the zip files for magisk but after reinstalling magisk thru twrp, I get stuck booting to recovery everytime. I can someone help point me in the right direction?

I stuck at the same situation. Can you flashboot flash boot.img and then it can boot normally?

Same problem here.
Situation before flash: stock 9.5.8, Magisk, a number of Magisk modules
What I did:
* downloaded 9.5.9 with Oxygen Updater
* disabled Magisk modules
* rebooted
* installed 9.5.9 from the builtin System Update
* went to Magisk, installed it with After OTA
* rebooted to recovery
* installed TWRP and Magisk
* cleared Dalvik
* rebooted to system
The phone seems to start normally, but when it reaches the unlock screen it immediately goes to Power Off, then it reboots to TWRP (not power off). From TWRP I can decrypt data ok etc.
I tried reinstalling the boot loader, OTA image, TWRP, Magisk - same result. Rebooting to system from TWRP just goes back to Power Off then TWRP.

If this is any help in the future, whilst I don't have twrp, I install the updates via local update in settings > system > updates and then before reboot I go to magisk manager, and install magisk to second slot and reboot. Never had a problem and I'm on 9.5.9 now. The only modules I disable, update, or remove are the magisk ROMs available here such as no limits, as they are usually version specific.

That's exactly what I did. It landed me to the bootloop.

All you guys had to do is,
Install the full uddate zip in twrp,
Install the latest twrp zip,
Reboot recovery,
Install latest magisk,
Reboot system,
Hope this helps, cheers

Update: I can break out of the loop from TWRP > Advanced > Fix Recovery Bootloop. That lets me boot normally, but loses root. As soon as I reinstall Magisk I get back to the bootloop.

I'm in the same boat.
My twrp doesn't offer to decrypt partition_b so I cannot manually install Magisk on the new partition.

This seems to be a common problem when updating rooted Oneplus 7 pro and I haven't found a update guide which actually works every time. Last update to 9.5.8 I had the same issue where I couldn't get into oxygen os because it turned itself off and when twrp opened I couldn't decrypt the data. I couldn't find a solution last time and I had to full wipe and start from scratch. Now I don't want the same to happen so I hope someone can post a guide how to do the update successfully.

Works every time, the same way I have been doing for both 6T and 7 Pro.

Sometimes you might be on the wrong active slot, you can change this by using fastboot set_active a or fastboot set_active b. TWRP seems to like changing your slot but will tell you when it does. If you're getting stuck try changing slot and booting.

It worked for me for 9.5.8, got the bootloop this time around. I guess this means I'm not the Chosen One.

I tried that too. When I switch to the other slot I get to a menu where I can only wipe data, reboot to boot loader, or reboot to recovery. Not particularly useful.

Hey guys!
I'm having the same problem. No matter how I try to update it will reboot to stock recovery.
I was wondering if any of you have /Data converted to f2fs? Maybe it could be culprit...

What I had to do here was go to fastboot mode and flash twrp img. Then in TWRP I flash the TWRP zip file and magisk and rebooted. All good

Alright so I fixed mine. I went and just removed all the modules while I was in twrp. To do that go to Advanced, then file manager or whatever it says, find the adb folder and from there look for a folder named Modules and just delete them all. From there just reinstall magisk through twrp and it should all work.

Thank you sir, this fixed it for me, too. So the missing link was that Magisk modules have to be removed completely, not just disabled, before upgrading. Removing all directories except .core from /data/adb/modules allows the phone to boot normally, with Magisk enabled.

Thats the way i tried that time and got stuck in bootloop.

I goofed up: Tapped wrong option to update Magisk and now I don't have a recovery

Please bear with me.
I was about to upgrade from Magisk 19.4 to 20 and I tapped on "Install to inactive slot (after OTA)" instead of the recommended option "Direct install), then clicked yes without reading because I though I tapped the correct option... and after that, without rebooting, I tapped the Direct install option and rebooted. (Yup, I effed up that whole part.)
Then, when booting up the phone got stuck in fastboot.
I followed @Arden144's steps to install twrp and I was able to boot into twrp and flash magisk.
If I go to power options and tap on reboot to OS, it boots fine and I have Magisk 20. My modules are still there and everything seems fine. Wi-Fi, fingerprint sensor and SafetyNet are fine.
BUT! Now, for my actual problem:
Whenever I use advanced reboot to go to the recovery, go to recovery through Magisk Manager, press Volume Down + Power to boot into recovery or even select "Recovery" in TWRP's power menu, the phone just goes to fasboot and I can't enter the recovery unless I "fastboot flash" a recovery.
Thankfully if I select "Start", the phone starts fine. Previously it just looped back to the fastboot but seems that reflashing twrp at least fixed that.
But yeah, I can't enter TWRP without a computer to fastboot, which sucks.
What can I do? Flashing twrp doesn't seem to stick.
Thank you for any advice you can give me!

There's a known issue with Magisk 20 that makes TWRP not stay installed. Downgrade to 19.4 or hold tight without TWRP

Oooh. What an awful moment to have this problem, then.
Unfortunately, I reflashed Magisk, (Manager now shows 19.4) but TWRP doesn't stay installed... What worries me is that not even the stock recovery is available to use, just fastboot.

You can try using the Magisk Canary Uninstaller to completely clean up the Magisk install, or dirty flash the stock ROM

Magisk 20.1 works for me with latest TWRP.

have you tried installing TWRP as a magisk module?

Try this..
To solve the prroblem
1. Reflash the latest rom.you have using system.update...
2. Install magisk to inactive slot
3. Reboot
4. Goto magisk and flash twrp installer v70..
5. Install magisk again as recommended..
Reboot...

when that happened to me i grabbed magisk uninstaller and fadtboot booted twrp flash magisk uninstaller then twrp zip reflashed magisk 20. whatever new version of magisk is

Flash twrp to ramdisk. It should stick. I have it installed to ramdisk. Also updated from 19.3 to 20 with twrp still there.

Same happened to me. No recovery partition it seems. Lol going to try ecompton's suggestion later.

OK, so only way I restored access to my recovery was to flash the OTA update and the stock recovery was there... after that I reflashed TWRP and I can access it just fine.

URGENT: disabling magisk made OP6 stuck on bootloader, How to recover from it?

I had latest magisk (stable version) installed and tried to disable it from magisk manager->uninstall->restore images.
when i restarted the phone it stuck on bootloader screen.
I tried to got to twrp recovery mode and it's stuck on the flash screen.
Why would magisk manager put a button which is not working at all and bricks the phone? Please guide me what to 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

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.

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)

Thanks, I’ll try. A few questions:
Wipe dalvik after flash?
Boot into system or instant flash magisk?
Wipe dalvik after magisk?
Which magisk?(canary or 23.0)?

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!

Thanks, I’ll try. A few questions:
Wipe dalvik after flash?
Boot into system or instant flash magisk?
Wipe dalvik after magisk?
Which magisk?(canary or 23.0)?
Thanks!

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
