Flash TWRP via fastboot android 10 - OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion

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.

worked for me while anything else didnt

Does it wipe your data?

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. I don't know if I did something wrong, or flashing twrp to both boot partitions caused it."
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.
fastboot boot TWRP.img NOTHING
tried your solution above and still nothing
Still stuck in fastboot this is what I get:
PS C:\Users\Les Brown\Desktop\OnePlus 6> fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-17-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img

@killathenoob Download DECRYPTED OOS 10.3.0 with this help if you don't really know what to do with this.
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
Install twrp-3.3.1-17-enchilada-installer-mauronofrio.zip
Reboot to recovery and install magisk if you need to.

Hope I helped a bit.

Can't install TWRP in Android 9

I was running stock OOS with Android 8.1 with the normal TWRP and Magisk working. When the OOS 9 got out, I installed the full OTA through TWRP (dirty flash) and everything went perfectly, with no problems whatsoever, but I lost TWRP and Magisk, of course.
Now in Android 9 I can't seem to reinstall TWRP (I'm trying with the latest bluespark): I can boot TWRP from fastboot and install Magisk, everything is fine, Magisk works great. However, when I try to install the TWRP zip (through the fastboot loaded TWRP), the phone freezes at the bootloader warning and doesn't boot (and I have to reinstall the full OTA zip to get the phone working again). Or, some other times, it reboots always to the recovery and never to the OS. Any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks in advance.
What version of bluespark are you using ?? v2

first fastboot boot twrp.img, the install twrp.zip , reboot recovery and then magisk..
I also tried to fastboot boot blu_spark twrp V2 IMG.... This ended in a black screen. I used the latest official twrp without a problem on pie.

Thanks! Did it in that exact order and now everything works. I was forgetting to reboot the recovery before installing Magisk.
don't flash magisk on the temporary TWRP

Cuz of kernel panic. When you boot into twrp after fastboot command - unplag your cable from pc when the command is done, then disable mtp, connect to pc and re-enable mtp.
Dont forget to click thanks
And yeah, use blu spark's TWRP, not official one

This procedure didn't work for me, for some reason "fastboot boot twrp.img" was leading to black screen.
What worked for me was
1) Boot to fastboot
2) fastboot flash twrpXXX.img
3) Without rebooting, select recovery from fastboot's bootloader menu
4) If you are able to boot in twrp this time, then flash blu spark twrp.
5) Reboot
6) Try to reboot in recovery as usual
If all worked well, you should see twrp recovery.
Cheers.

adb problem

hi
I would like to install twrp image, but adb says device not found, while on the list it sees, the serial nr is there..
I can even install the img, it writes 2x the okay, but doesn't boot. I'm stuck on fastboot screen, can I fix it?
When at the bootloader, you need to use fastboot commands, not adb.
So the command should be "fastboot boot imgname.img"

+1 for this.
Folks often mix up fastboot and adb. They are related, but different. Different operation requirements and functions.
adb:
- Only works in OS, or alternately in TWRP.
- Requires debugging toggled on in settings.
Fastboot:
- Only works in bootloader-fastboot mode.
- Does not require debugging to be toggled on.
Fastboot is typically what you want for unlocking bootloader, and booting TWRP (for root, etc.).

Not completely clear based on your description. But is sounds like you are trying to do "adb devices" and then "fastboot flash twrp.img"?
In fastboot, you want to do "fastboot devices" (no quotes) and should see the phone's ID number in response.
Then you want to do "fastboot boot twrp.img" to boot TWRP, then flash the TWRP installer zip within TWRP. This is per the recommended install guide from the TWRP thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...nt/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3931322
Although it's hard to determine exactly what you did wrong, unless you provide a more detailed sequence of what you did, and with the exact commands.
And to be clear, your bootloader is unlocked, correct?
well, sorry for being noob, for me was never a problem with older phones. I always managed to root, put twrp, change rom without any pc, but this double slot system kills me
so I managed to wipe everything before, vendor, sytem.., all
I wanted to put the havoc rom after formatting, but there was 5 local disks when I opened the phone folder on the pc, and obviously didn't copy the files on it. Therefore I did reboot to recovery, since that I had only the fastboot screen.
After that I unbricked it, all was fine again on the stock
After opened again the bootloader (yes, also before it was) installed the twrp.img, Installed the twrp zip, reboot it.
I followed the steps from havoc, but it said error 7, few times I tried. I reboooted the recovery again, and now I'm again the fastboot only, doesn't even show the warning msg about open bl, and doesn't go anywhere again.
I tried now with the fastboot command You gave, it says:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.265s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)
finished. total time: 1.312s
So I'm affraid I need to unbrick again.
If You can help me out, I'd apprecite :good: thanks!
Edit: I'm doing the unbrick again, but this time I'll wait for some info before I try the havoc. Also I'd love to get rid off this double slot thing, is there any way to do the normal method?

I ran into the same error (and I have not been able to narrow down what causes it), and I had to fastboot flash boot twrp.img and actually flash TWRP to boot.
Once you flash TWRP to boot, and reboot your phone, you will be dropped right into TWRP.
Once in TWRP I was able to flash the stock boot image, then flash the TWRP installer zip, and finally Magisk. Basically you need to follow the instructions in the TWRP thread, with the only difference being that you flash TWRP to boot and not use fastboot boot. I hope to look into what the possible causes for this failure could be this weekend.
As for getting rid of slot A/B -- nope. That is part of the bootloader, so you will just have to get used to it. It is actually quite useful once you get the hang of it. For example, dual booting if you never intend to take OTA updates. It requires a bit of work to get setup (for example, you have to partition userdata since there is no userdata_a and userdata_b), and you need kernels and ROMs that understand the partitioning scheme.

Did you do fastboot flash boot imagename or fastboot flash recovery imagename

I guess I lost it, time to accept the stock rom :crying:
I' not that old, but I can understand now why my grandma doesn't know even what is a phone
At the end I managed to do the unbrick again, after I installed havoc, I get rid of the error 7, and it showed me st like qualcomm crashdump, I was about to give up, but I went back to twrp installed again, now it's fine. Such a pity that it's not stable yet, I don't dare to touch after this..
tHanks for the info, in case I'll ever need I'll try to read again another 100x maybe I'll find out.

I think you are doing something wrong.
boot.img is basically a kernel, not TWRP.
Booting TWRP and flashing a boot.img are two completely different things.
It would help if you cut/paste the actual command you typed, so we can see what you did.
The command should be: fastboot boot twrp.img
That isn't what you did.

Nobody told you to do this.
The proper syntax is:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Seems similar, but this does something very different from the command you used. Syntax in fastboot/adb is absolutely ciritical. Always type fastboot and adb commands exactly as indicated, and double check everything before issuing the command.
fastboot boot twrp.img This boots the image file that is named. Note that you are not flashing anything with this command. Think of it as a remote boot of the TWRP file that is on your computer.
fastboot flash boot imagename This flashes the named file to the boot partition (basically the kernel)
If Havoc is the end goal here, from absolute stock start to finish it would be
1. Enable developer options
2. Enable oem unlock and usb debugging through the developer options menu (I also enable advanced reboot but not required)
3. Reboot to bootloader via the advanced reboot menu or through adb command "adb reboot bootloader"
4. While in bootloader, type in cmd, "fastboot oem unlock"
5. Allow bootloader unlock and wipe and let system reboot back to oos
6. Repeat steps 1-3 to get back to bootloader
7. While in bootloader, type in cmd, "fastboot boot twrpimagename.img"
8. Wipe Data and Dalvik (after data wipe, you might not be able to copy files to phone)
9. Reboot back to bootloader
10. While in bootloader, type in cmd, "fastboot boot twrpimagename.img"
11. Copy Havoc, TWRP.zip, GAPPS, Magisk to device (GAPPS and Magisk are optional...if not needed, skip the steps for them)
12. Flash Havoc and TWRP.zip through normal install process
13. Reboot to recovery
14. Flash Havoc and TWRP.zip through normal install process again
15. Reboot to recovery
16. Flash GAPPS and Magisk (If error 70 thrown with GAPPS install, reboot to system once and run through any setup then reboot back to recovery to flash)
17. Reboot system
As long as no other errors are thrown, you should now be in Havoc with GAPPS and Magisk installed

Sorry, I messed up with the copy and paste, I didn't sleep too much in the last days for the hot, I'm a bit heavy in the head, pls exuse my bs. I also tried this one that you wrote, but didn't manage to boot still.. I have no clue what went wrong, but again, thanks, in case I can come back to read again.

Not exactly, the end goal to have a clean rom, with basic custumization, that even stock should include in my opinion, like disable headups.., extended screen etc. Plus without google staff, for me it's too strict. As in this moment not so many choice, havoc looked the most near to my wishes, in fact very nice after these hours, I guess I'll be fine with it when the bugs will disappear.
Anyway 1-7 was always without problem. Today after 2 unbrick and bl opening what I did is, through fastboot I entered to the img, from there I flashed the zip, reboot recovery to make sure it stays. I put files on the phone, wiped dalvik and data, install rom+twrp and as it is written here and also on that thread, I rebooted recovery. And I wanted to repeat the flash, but I had the internal storage 0mb thing. So I needed to format data (that's the solition I found) and reboot again, put back files, flash, reboot, flash again, and after I got that qualcomm crashdump screen. I hold the up+power to get back to twrp (or down, not sure) and I flashed again, but only once, so after it worked finally. Since that I'm fine
But sure I need to learn this stuff, it cannot be that I always face st that nobody else does
I hope the managed soon the ota for custom roms and we can do it easy and quick without setting the phone over and over again with all the apps, settings.. (probably only me in the world need to do so, as I start to loose it with the tech staff)
Poor phone is just couple of weeks old, but already saw everything
Thanks for writing
If it means anything to you, I use stock OOS+TWRP+Magisk+Renovate ICE+Xposed (to ignore the secure flag, otherwise Netflix doesn't work over HDMI). Everything works, including Google Pay.

Stuck in fastboot after using fastboot rom

One plus 7 pro, European version
So i was running Lineage OS on my phone for some time now (latest base update i did was to ob1 as far as i am aware), when there was an update lately
I installed it as normal, but the phone would not get past the boot animation and kept restarting, so i went back to the other slot to see if that still worked, but it only had a laggy boot animation, which never booted
I then installed the previous version that i was running before the update back to the other slot, hoping it would solve the problem of not booting (that worked before already) but it still did not boot
I saw someone post they had 10.3 installed as base so i restored the ob1 installation with a fastboot rom i still had on my hard drive, but upon finishing the phone just went into crash dump mode showing
dm-verity device corrupted force dump
kernel_restart
I tried another install just to be sure, but same result
I then tried flashing twrp to the boot partition to at least get there, but the phone just went straight to fastboot upon doing that
Fastboot boot still seems broken and just shows
D:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot boot tw.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.228s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)
finished. total time: 1.346s
I searched around if there were other ways to install twrp from fastboot, and found this tool (https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...g/apk-img-dat-br-one-click-decompile-t3886057) that promises to unpack and repack the boot.img, so i hoped i could use that to manually add twrp to it, but it failed to unpack the file
Next thing i found was this MSM tool post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/msm-tool-guac-t3934691) instructed to hold volume up and down for 5 seconds before connecting the phone to a pc, and the program actually picked it up, however the phone started itself after a few seconds and went back to crashdump mode
At this point i'm seriously out of ideas, does anyone else have other ideas that i missed?
Does anyone have a boot img with twrp?
keep trying the MSM tool. it WILL work.
if you can get into fastboot again, type in fastboot reboot edl in ADB

This is indeed what typically shows for an error when fastboot boot isn't working. Probably due to using an older fastboot ROM. I'd try to use a newer fastboot ROM, or you can flash a patched boot image, which is how the phone was being rooted before fastboot boot was fixed:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...isk-patched-boot-image-oneplus-7-pro-t3964345
If I recall correctly, you can't fastboot boot with android 10.

Urgent help! Stuck in black screen with Crashdump Mode

Merry Christmas guys,
I have a really unusual situation.
First time that I have tried all tricks I know and I can't get myself out of this difficult situation.
I was trying to update Magisk with a patched boot file and after a reboot I was not being able anymore to access the system but only this black screen with the Crashdump Mode is appearing.
I can access the Fastboot screen, but no way to reboot to the TWRP recovery or to flash another boot.img, even through some pc flashing utilities.
Is there anything to try through another slot or something else?
I also tried:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
and I get this error:
FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions)
But my bootloader is unlocked and other commands like fastboot reboot works normally.
After I flashed through fastboot the images of boot, abl, dtbo, fw I can only access the TWRP recovery where everything is decrypted.
Any other ideas?
Try booting temporary into TWRP by using this command
fastboot boot twrp.img
If you can't use MSMDownloadTool

OP 7 Pro fully bricked after OOS 12 update

Hi, up until recently I had crDroid on my phone, after not touching for a while and the rom being a bit corrupt, I decided to rollback to OOS.
To do this, I used some files I had of the OOS version that was on the phone before crDroid, went into fastbootd mode through the custom recovery of the crDroid ROM and became flashing images, it's a bit janky but I only wanted to get OOS working and booting to install a fresh OTA version of OOS through the settings. I ended up using the Oxygen updater app (or something like that, got it off the playstore) to have the OOS file to copy it to my PC where I would dump the payload into a folder to get the boot image and patch it with magisk.
Everything worked perfectly, I had root, OOS was running with no apparent big problems, but I wanted to try and flash TWRP, that's when crap hit the fan.
I was a bit worried about the process because I know TWRP can behave unpredictably but after I saw some posts of users who have android 12 OOS and TWRP I decided to try.
I downloaded the TWRP image from the official website on Oneplus 7 pro, chose the version for stock rom, Europe (I am from Israel, pretty sure I need EU image), opened up fastboot, typed:
Code:
fastboot boot <image file location>
, it was sending, the phone began booting, and nothing, it didnt boot up, stuck on the loading LOGO of Oneplus, so I tried a different version.
I tried the American version, still didnt work, and then tried the custom ROM > Europe version, and the phone booted to twrp, I wanted to check everything was alright, so I rebooted from the custom recovery to system, it reboot to recovery. I wasnt so surprised, had a few issues with TWRP in the past, so I went into TWRP and did the "flash current TWRP image" thing, and the phone still wouldnt boot to system, only the custom recovery. At that point, I gave up on a custom recovery, and tried to flash the boot image again, as from what I remember usually this fixes the custom recovery problems, got a bootloop, tried flashing the Magisk patched boot image, got a bootloop, tried flashing all the images I could (not critical partitions), of the OOS I had installed on the phone and still got a bootloop.
thought that maybe I need to flash everything, flashed all the images I could of crDroid to get to its custom recovery and enter fastbootd, flashed all of the OOS images except "reserve.img" which gave me:
"fastboot flash reserve '/run/media/android/2E5CD91E5CD8E21F/Utilities/notroot/payload_dumper-win64/payload_output/reserve.img'
Invalid sparse file format at header magic
Sending sparse 'reserve' 1/11 (262124 KB) OKAY [ 8.115s]
Writing 'reserve' FAILED (remote: 'No such file or directory')
fastboot: error: Command failed"
and Im still in a bootloop, never had a problem like this before, and I would love some help.
PS: Sorry for the long story, thought it would be essential for a real pro who would like to help me understand my poor phones situation.
Also, English isn't my first language so forgive me for a painful read.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Forgot to add, while trying to get to fastbootd, I read on the forum that you can do that with running in fastboot the following command:
fastboot reboot fastboot
after doing it the phone bootlooped again, and I got this message:
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
Rebooting into fastboot OKAY [ 0.002s]
< waiting for any device >
fastboot: error: Failed to boot into userspace fastboot; one or more components might be unbootable.
Hello,
I think you need to use the MSMDownloadTool to entirely reset your phone and restart from a fresh phone.

Shalom and Happy Rosh Chodesh. Hebrew is not my first language, I believe you are better at inglet than I am at ivrit.
I agree with the above post, probably your only way out now. I think it started with your usage of the custom crDroid features as I am always wary of those 'custom' features on such a finicky device (as you found) as this. Compounded when trying to flash TWRP. So many have luck, but . . . . I have flashed more phones than I can count and for me the One Plus 7 Pro just does not like not being stock.
