Anyone please let me know the OOS 10 and TWRP/Magisk Situation... - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

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?

I also have a problem

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.

Security? Deprecated or soon-to-be-deprecated command? Dunno really, lol.

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.

this can help

How to install TWRP after Magisk?

How to install TWRP after Magisk?
I have a OnePlus 6 running Oxygen OS 9.0 and I managed to install Magisk by obtaining the stock boot image and using the magisk manager app to patch it to include magisk, then I flashed the patched boot.img using fastboot and ADB.
The reason I did it this way is that every time I tried to boot with twrp.img in order to flash twrp.zip, I would run into a screen saying Qualcomm CrashDump Mode and TWRP wouldn't boot.
Now I want to install TWRP and I was wondering if there is any way of doing it by using Magisk, so I wouldn't have to boot twrp.img.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Same problem here. Already tried to boot every version of TWRP without success.

If you have magisk manager with working root.... Then YES you can.... Just download Official TWRP app from GPlay... Open it give root permissions and follow the onscreen instructions.... Thats it...and yes use the zip not the img file

But there's no button to flash, I open the app, select flash recovery, select device, but theres no button to flash it.
See screenshot
do you have fastboot and adb installed on your computer? I assume so as you have oem unlocked to flash magisk, correct?
Copy the TWRP file that ends with .img to your desktop
if so, open a command prompt (windows key +R and type cmd press enter)
type "cd desktop" without quotes and press enter
type fastboot boot "twrp.img" (whatever the file name actually is)
Congrats, you are now in TWRP. But wait, there's more! if you reboot to system or other wise leave TWRP at this point you will revert back to stock. to flash recovery onto your device permanently, install the TWRP.ZIP (The ZIP is IMPORTANT) as it changes the boot on the OP6 to have the TWRP image (oh, by the way, there is no recovery partition on OP6 like previous devices [Thanks A/B partition!])
Now you can reboot to your hearts content. remember if you update OOS, you will lose the custom recovery, so flash the TWRP.zip after every update!

Yes I have fastboot and ADB on my computer (Linux btw), and as I mentioned it the first post, I already tried that, except that instead of booting into TWRP after "fastboot boot twrp.img" I got to a screen saying Qualcomm CrashDump mode (see attached image (the image might not be exactly the same as mine, I found that on the internet because I don't have my computer to reproduce it now)).
super odd. maybe your boot image is corrupt? still doesn't explain why fastboot boot isn't working though... Try bluSpark's TWRP image. it's a solid build and I am not having issues with it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/kernel-t3800965/page17
or you can also try swapping to the other partition by typing 'fastboot --set-active=_a' (or fastboot --set-active=_b) and booting to that recovery.
if that doesn't work for ya, try and restore stock via fastboot is my only suggestion:

I wonder if this problem has been solved? After having Root without TWRP since last year, I decided to flash TWRP now because I miss having a Nandroid backup. But just like op, right after I type in "fastboot boot TWRP.img", I end up with that Qualcomm crash dump error, resulting in a fastboot boot loop every time I restart the phone. My only recourse is to use the MSM flash tool that reflashes everything and returns the phone into factory stock. In the process wiping out all my data. I don't think there's anything corrupted
EDIT: the problem wasn't the procedure; it was the damned bootable TWRP .img files. I downloaded different TWRP.img versions, and they all failed to flash into temporary TWRP, except for this one that I found here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CJoBQ5ZuAExv27XLWwLMFYfHoLEu5YFJ You can use this bootable .img to flash any TWRP version compatible with your device
Does it work for Android 10?

Hello I'm having magisk root access and official TWRP app but can't use it for NAndroid backup, how can I use the app for backup and fishing custom ROM?

unable to flash twrp

I am using op6 with oxygenos 5.1.11 (for unrelated reasons I cannot use android pie yet, so I had to downgrade to android 8.1 until a certain bug is fixed in 9).
I am trying to flash twrp, with no avail: when I use "fastboot flash recovery <twrp.img>", I get "FAILED (remote: '(recovery_a) No such partition')", and when I try using "fastboot boot <twrp.img>", the phone boots into an unresponsive state with a black screen and a white notification led.
what am I doing wrong? I've tried both twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.91_op6.img and the official twrp-3.2.3-1-enchilada.img in place of <twrp.img>, no difference.
Is your bootloader unlocked? (fastboot oem unlock)

of course it is!
First of all you can't flash recovery in fastboot on OP6. You need to boot the image and flash the recovery.zip after that you will have recovery permanently.
BTW why don't you search and have a look at the guide?
This time I do it for you. If you exactly follow these steps you will get recovery working.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3792643
Follow this video. Remember to use the twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img and twrp-installer-enchilada-3.2.1-0.zip, not the newer files.

Like the others said above, it sounds like you are trying to flash the version of TWRP for Pie onto an Oreo install, you need to get the last stable version of TWRP for Oreo, which I believe is 3.2.1. You'll need both the '.img' and '.zip' files. Good luck!

if you read my original post, I have tried to boot to recovery already, which didn't work. what I was not aware of is that the recovery image is android version-dependent. an old twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v8.83_op6.img did the job.

thanks! I was not aware that twrp images are android version-dependent and not backwards compatible. especially in the original enchilada twrp images one does not see it. an old twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v8.83_op6.img did the job.

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.

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....

Root + TWRP on Android 10 Post OTA?

I installed the Stable Android 10 on my GM1910 via TWRP, totally forgetting about maintaining root and TWRP.
So how do I bring back TWRP and root?
fastboot boot doesn't seem to work, I managed to pull the boot.img and patch it with Magisk from another device but flashing it through fastboot ends up in an endless bootanimation.
Could anyone help me? here's a link of the boot.img i pulled, it works if you flash it without magisk patching it.
Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1O8lF1UDwwu0zT8ro5Q1gKKfdxF-HGPEW/view?usp=sharing
(Almost) exactly the same here. I tired flashing a patched boot.img, it actually boots - but magisk manager gets stuck on the splash screen and some apps, including chrome, won't start. Trying to boot TWRP results in the phone getting stuck on the "fastboot mode" screen.
My only solution would be to downgrade, root, keep the upgrade this time. But because my ISP is doing some maintenance work I don't have wifi - and restoring my phone through mobile data does not seem to work correctly.
EDIT: In fastboot, neither bootloader version nor baseband version are show, product name is "msmnile". Has this always been that way?
EDIT 2, solution:
I extracted the boot.img from the device, and patched it using magisk on the same phone:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-Gf-6iXSFuYT5xDR-mnLKANvkXUHal9e/view?usp=sharing
Run this command in fastboot so you know which is the CURRENT active slot :
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
Run this command so you can flash the correct slot :
Code:
fastboot flash boot_X magisk_patched.img
replace X with the a or b from the command before.

Hi sorry to hear that you got this problem and hopefully it gets fixed. I have another question: does that mean using TWRP to completely clean the device then installing Android 10 via zip will remove TWRP and fastboot everything? Does that mean after installing, everything will be refreshed like a box opened phone?

If you have an endless boot animation you might be trying to boot from the wrong slot, try using the fastboot set_active command to change slot, then restart

If the current slot is boot_a, i flash it in boot_b or am I supposed to flash on the one that isn't the current slot?

Either one should work if the rom and the rooted boot image is on it (If you are rooting). That's why you should install using TWRP, if you look in the reboot menu it will show you the active slot.

You are supposed to flash it in the one that IS the active one. Because you do want to root the slot that you'll be booting.

Run this command in fastboot so you know which is the CURRENT active slot :
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
Run this command so you can flash the correct slot :
Code:
fastboot flash boot_X magisk_patched.img
replace X with the a or b from the command before.

Same.
I've read that Q/10 is different and you can't install TWRP like that anymore. Supposedly you need to use the MSM tool or the all-in-one tool but I've tried both of those and still can't boot to TWRP.

Hopefully there will be a solution. I had tried to update from Pie to Q10 while staying rooted and it didn't work. So I had to wipe the whole device and decided to wait for a smoother root method for my device. If you have any other ideas about rooting Q10 let me know. Thank you

(Almost) exactly the same here. I tired flashing a patched boot.img, it actually boots - but magisk manager gets stuck on the splash screen and some apps, including chrome, won't start. Trying to boot TWRP results in the phone getting stuck on the "fastboot mode" screen.
My only solution would be to downgrade, root, keep the upgrade this time. But because my ISP is doing some maintenance work I don't have wifi - and restoring my phone through mobile data does not seem to work correctly.
EDIT: In fastboot, neither bootloader version nor baseband version are show, product name is "msmnile". Has this always been that way?

Stuck at Fastboot booting when flashed img and also zip
Sent from my GM1911 using Tapatalk
I updated my phone to 10 last night, followed the same guide as I have for every other update but this time I lost root for some reason.
I still have TWRP recovery on there but it can't read internal storage so I can't flash Magisk.
I tried changing file system to ext 2 then back to 4 and then repairing it as I read elsewhere and this wiped the phone obviously but internal storage seemed to be working until I set the phone up again, downloaded Magisk, rebooted to recovery and I'm back where I started, internal storage showing as 0mb in TWRP.
Any ideas how to fix?

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.

ya, I fastboot flash boot the TWRP img following this video youtu.be/3oSycujvmP8?t=296
I guess I'll start flashing boot images until I land on the correct OS version, thanks

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.

in this case the best thing to do is just unbrick using MSM

Yes, I had to unbrick using msm. It worked. Was able to get phone rooted and stock recovery replaced with TWRP but it was a much bigger pain than I expected.

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.
getting "error flashing zip".

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.
