Unable to boot into TWRP from fastboot after Android 10 upgrade - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

I just flashed the OOS Android 10 beta ROM via the system upgrade tool (didn't work via TWRP) so now I'm unrooted. ROM works fine, but I'm having trouble re-rooting. I'm trying to boot the TWRP img via fastboot and keep getting the same error:
Code:
c:\adb>fastboot boot twrp.img
Sending 'boot.img' (28980 KB) OKAY [ 0.640s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
I'm unable to boot into TWRP and tried different versions of the img file, all which give me the same error. How can I fix this?

Doesn't work yet, don't think it will for a while because fastboot has changed apparently.
The guy who makes the OP7 port has it baked in, but it's not encrypted

Ok thanks. So there's no way to possibly root the new ROM at the moment?

Flash patched boot.img via fastboot. Just becarful with magisk modules at the moment.

Can you elaborate on this? The part about being careful with modules? I got magisk working, and I'm using 2 modules, YT Vanced and Google Dialer framework.
When should I be careful? When there is a new update for the A10 beta? Or just on how many modules you install, or which ones?
Thanks

Meaning if u go into a bootloop u r pretty much screwed without a twrp, there is no way to remove the module.

Deleted, wrong post

Just be smart. Use stuff that doesn't fundementally alter things (framework mods, etc.). FDE is updated, Vanced works, stuff like call recorder, fonts etc. should be fine. I'd avoid audio mods (directories might have changed idk) and things like auto brightness fix (framework mods).

Updating from rooted OOS Pie, flash magisk through manager to inactive slot before reboot after OTA finished. Worked for me.
Of course I don't have any recovery at all so we will see how that goes three days from now when I install something crazy

I fixed this on the op6 by doing this:
Note: On Windows systems, thanks to a bug in fastboot, you must first swap to slot a with fastboot set_active a, then specify slot a when flashing images, e.g. fastboot flash boot_a <recovery_filename>.img
(from lineageos install site)
however after this was a success i'm now stuck on the 1+ fastboot splash screen and it never actually goes to recovery. Hopefully you've figured it out by now but I came across your post a few times while I was looking for the solution myself

So, i bumped into this the other day, what i did was, flash the full Android 10 fastboot rom using the op6 aio tool, then, using fastboot I flashed twrp the one from mauronofrio, then from twrp without wiping anything, I flashed the stock boot.img, then the twrp installer again from mauronofrio and voila, twrp working, I also flashed magisk after the first boot, this is all in the fool proof guide in the guides subforum

any update on this? just updated to OOS 10.3.2 and cant boot into twrp anymore. All I want is to have twrp...any way to roll back to android 9?

can I update my op6 after this...

Hi guys,
I'll tell you the story first, so you can see the whole picture and answer me based on it.
A few days ago I was trying to flash twrp and magisk on my op6 oos 9.0.3. I failed a lot and went into a lot of bootloops and crashdump and black screen but got out of these situations somehow. eventually, I found a way to root using patched magisk and it worked, but I didn't have twrp. So I uninstalled magisc from the app itself and rebooted, but that caused my op6 to get into a bootloop. Luckily I was able to get to the fastboot mode but after trying to flash different twrp imgs, and failing becasue I was just trying without any previous experience and that's stupid, I know. Anyway, fastboot started to give me this error "downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY [ 0.769s] booting... FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error) finished. total time: 0.784s " so I used this command "fastboot --set-active=B" to switch to slot b and it worked, then I flashed twrp and magisk successfully because I learned a lot from those failures.
So, idk what happened to slot a, so when I recieve an update in the future for op6, can I update normally from updates in settings or do I have to do it manually or what? I really have no idea and I would like to have an expectation to what may happen.

As per my knowledge, since you already have your bootloader unlocked and have custom recovery, you might no lt be able to install updates directly. You will have to download them from oneplus' official website and then manually flash the updates. This has to be followed with the normal twrp recovery or unlocked bootloader.
I am not too sure about slot a and b, but I hope the procedure will be same. If you want to directly get updates, you will have to flash original recovery and OOS from oneplus' website.
Download and flash manually using twrp. Should be just fine.

My OnePlus 7 Pro is bricked.

My OnePlus 7 Pro keep booting into fastboot mode. Neither I can access recovery nor can start the phone. It's always comes back to recovery.
Please help me getting it done.
Bootloader is unlocked.
You haven't given enough info, tell us step by step how your "Bootloader is unlocked".
We would need to know if you did it properly, you probably need to go into the recovery and perform a "Full wipe". Unlocking the bootloader usually does that anyway.
The normal method is:
Enabled developer settings by pressing the version number in the about section 7 times and entering your pin
Copy the adb developer folder from the mounted OnePlus driver partition you usually get on your computer when attaching the phone, into a folder on your hard drive, and enable adb in developer settings.
In developer settings enable "OEM unlocking"
Reboot into fastboot mode
Open a command window (with admin privileges) in the folder you copied to your hard drive (In Windows, hold down shift and right click inside the folder, then click "Open Command Window..."
Run the command "fastboot oem unlock"
Accept the prompt shown on the phone
This will wipe the phone back to factory reset so ensure you have backed up your data, although you should be doing that before you even start.
Flash the appropriate TWRP recovery partition (which afaik isn't even available yet so I'm not sure why you would unlock the bootloader so soon to be honest
If you didn't perform those steps or performed them in the wrong order then you've done it wrong.
Performing a factory reset in the recovery partition may get it booting again but it's hard to know with the minimal information you've provided.
Although again, why are you unlocking the bootloader when there hasn't been a TWRP version released yet? You won't be able to flash anything, not even Magisk.
I've unlocked bootloader by command of OEM unlocking.
After than the unlock, I rebooted it's again And installed some Magisk file, which made it stuck at fastboot.
I can't access the Recovery nor can restart Phone.
All I can do is switched it off And get back into fastboot again after.
Yeah, you can't flash things with the default recovery (That's just made for flashing the default builds), that's most likely why. Magisk was made to be flashed with TWRP.
Did you use the test TWRP here? If so, then go to that thread for help.
If you can get into the OnePlus recovery you could maybe grab a build from here and flash the default rom back, then start again using the guide I showed you but, tbh, I would wait until a good TWRP build is established and Magisk is confirmed to be working.
That thread also looks like it has the default recovery image too so you can flash that back on the phone with :
fastboot flash recovery filename (Just put the recovery image into the same folder as your adb.exe and fastboot.exe
Then see if you can reboot into it and flash the stock rom back on from the same thread.
How can I get things done back, all I've is fastboot.
It's a New set, please help (

If you have fastboot, I've just told you how to get the default recovery back in above.
---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------
Reading that thread again, flashing recovery is not as simple as it used to be due to the A/B partition model used now, so you'll need to read the instructions shown for recovery. My guess is that you didn't read them properly and flashed the recovery to the wrong partition. If you have flashed that TWRP then you need to seek support in that thread.
It's not gonna work with me,
Even if I'll download the zip file it's only flashable with a Twrp or Stock recovery. As stock recovery is not working.

This will sound stupid, but I had similar issues with the pixel and it was due to drivers and the port. Tried from a different machine and worked. Do you have the luxury to do so ?
Man, I've flashed like tons of Custom ROMs and Twrp from the same machine everytime.
I used to be a Xioami Redmi Note 5 pro user, And I've flashed almost every ROMs And root and everything, and same with my Redmi Note 3.
I don't think the machine have some fault some how.
It was Just like I had unlocked the bootloader And just after I flashed some Magisk ISO file which got flashed completely, And then all I'm stucked with the Fastboot, everything Stopped working, And everytime I'm dragged info fastboot.
And also as I said, can't flash Twrp.

Since you are familiar with custom rom,unlocked bootloader etc you should had known already that you must NOT flash any kind Magisk staff without having proper and functional twrp.
Even if it flashed successful that doesn't mean will work after reboot and normal restart.
That why you've brick your device.
And on the other hand with A/B partition things has changed dramatically evolving all custom made staff and how they works.
Oneplus device not work the same way as Xiaomi you've described.

Any post that describe exactly what changed? I havent flashed custom roms/kernels in close to two years due to OOS being satisfying enough. What I have done is fastboot into twrp and flash magisk(I believe). Will I still be able to do that with OP7 Pro?

I am stuck in fastboot. The bootloader is unlocked and I do not have twrp. Everytime I try to install twrp I get this message "FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)" I think it is because my boot image is not there.

Flash TWRP via fastboot android 10

Hello guys, as we known that it is unable to use command in fastboot to boot into TWRP if we are on Android 10 (both OOS and Custom rom) at the moment, so here is the simple command allow us to do that if you want to roll back android 9 or any rom by TWRP
fastboot flash boot_a <twrp name.img>
fastboot flash boot_b <twrp name.img>
fastboot reboot
Your phone will automatically boot into TWRP, so you can flash another rom
Can anyone confirm this works?
I tried something similar when I first installed OOS 10, and I successfully booted TWRP, but I ended up getting a bootloop (stuck at the g.co/ABH warning thing) when I rebooted to system. I don't know if I did something wrong, or flashing twrp to both boot partitions caused it.
I would try again, but I'm on a critical work trip until the end of the month, so my phone's uptime is expected to be 100% until then.

Didn't work for me. My boot image was patched already this is probably why.
ok, I tried this, but as reported above, now also stuck on this same: "I tried something similar when I first installed OOS 10, and I successfully booted TWRP, but I ended up getting a bootloop (stuck at the g.co/ABH warning thing) when I rebooted to system.

How do I resrore operation for my phone? (help?)
Well, I met this issue before, and ended up with using this method to successfully boot into twrp.
This issue seems to appear on OOS, when I using `fastboot boot xxx.img` on other ROM like omni, I'm able to boot into twrp, thanks!
can someone help me please. my phone is stuck in a fastboot bootloop. everything I try doesn't work.

For others people (and you if you want to root or just install TWRP after fresh OOS10 Decrypted install) don't forget to OEM unlock before doing anything.
Download this
Copy "twrp-3.3.1-17-enchilada-installer-mauronofrio.zip" into internal storage of your OP6
Power it OFF
Power it ON in fastboot mode
Launch "Boot TWRP.bat"
Connect your OP6 to your PC and wait for TWRP to boot

Reboot to recovery and install magisk if you need to.

Does "Flash Image" mean it is now possible to flash Custom Rom's like Lineage OS?
If so which version would I need to download?
Would [GSI][10] LineageOS 17.x GSI (all archs) be the correct version?

No, not directly , anyway. You can flash boot
Img, recovery.imf, and super.img.
You could use lpmake and unpack your super.img and repack with the gsi-system.img on your pc and flash that new super.img
There are people using similar tools on the recovery, but I have not tried it.
There is one that cought my attention "system swapper". Unfortunatly I have not tried it yet.
If all you want is to try gsi, stock fastbootD can flash it
i just got this device for my little ones for xmas
so i have time to test whatever until then....
as long as i can still spflash stock image afterwards

Img, recovery.imf, and super.img.
You could use lpmake and unpack your super.img and repack with the gsi-system.img on your pc and flash that new super.img
There are people using similar tools on the recovery, but I have not tried it.
There is one that cought my attention "system swapper". Unfortunatly I have not tried it yet.
If all you want is to try gsi, stock fastbootD can flash it

Your process is not correct. And not along the outline I mentioned in the quoted post.
You cannot flash zip file in fastbootd.
There are more detailed guides here on xda. I do not have a link at the moment. But try and search for "flash gsi with fastbootd" I'm sure you can find guide available.

It's no problem, I've already solved it
Hello mrmazak, how are you?
I finally managed to flash a GSI on the Umidigi A7 pro. Flashed PHH's GSI AOSP, version 411 - Android 12.
The problem is that when flashing your TWRP, I can't boot, it's in a loop.
I flashed like this:

Can you give me an idea how to fix the problem?
Now, after writing this message, which I called myself, that this version of TWRP is for Android 10. Do you have any predictions to launch for Android 12?
Umidigi A7 Pro
So ive been out of the loop for several years. I did manage to get root on stock rom finally, now that magisk has been fixed. Been impressed with the ease of use with magisk modules. Its nice to have access to root apps too.
Of course, im still running stock recovery, but am interested in getting custom recovery in there to have the ability to backup/restore, and possibly flash a rom, if any were available.
Thats not really a priority tho, and im wondering if, at this point, if its worth bothering spending the time to change recovery? For a layman, and fairly avg user, would it be beneficial, or would you all say best to just wait and enjoy rooted stock rom for the time being?
Thanks for the effort in developing for this device. Its a solid phone for the money. Only issue ive had is with it not notifying of message push notices in certain apps. Seems to be the rom, cause i can tether to it and get notices on time with every other device
