Tried to root, booting animation forever - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello,
I tried to root my OP7P GM1913 (OxygenOS was up to date) following this tutorial.
I could unlock the bootloader (which wiped the phone).
I then downloaded the .img and .zip TWRP 3.3.1-4 but failed to boot on the downloaded image.
I first tried
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-4-guacamole.img
and also
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-4-guacamole.img
multiple times but it never booted in TWRP, it either goes back to the fastboot menu or stucks on the "Fastboot Mode" splash screen.
When I try to start the phone normally, it stays in the booting animation (white dots moving around a red circle) forever.
What should I do ?
–––
Update: I was using latest TWRP images from the official website but they don't support android 10.
I found mauronofrio's image here and could boot into TWRP
So now, following guides, I installed the zip twrp-3.3.1-75-guacamole-unified-installer-mauronofrio.zip via TWRP. It overrode both partitions.
But my phone now won't boot to oxygen, it get stuck with the boot animation (white dots moving around a red circle forever).
What can I try ? Flash some "stock" img found on this forum ?

Using a more recent "unofficial" build TWRP build (such as the -75 build you mentioned) is the right thing to do if the phone is on Android 10 (which most folks are at this point). You need to flash Magisk right after flashing TWRP installer zip, otherwise no boot is a common result. States this in the dev's instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...nt/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3931322
You can try reboot to recovery (hold power + vol down for several seconds - may need to do this twice, once to shut down, another time to boot to recovery). Then try to flash the Magisk zip.
If the phone still doesn't boot, you can restore a stock boot.img via fastboot: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424
Restore the whole stock ROM if you need to, but just flashing the stock boot.img should be enough.

Flashing magisk did not work. It generated errors that it could not mount /data or something like that so I erased all data and started again with stock boot.img. I could then start the process again and it worked. Thank you !

to root your phone,,, i guess you could try this..
since you can already boot to twrp,,
1. try downloading and flashing a full 2gb rom.... first
2. then flash twrp zip again
3. reboot to recovery again
4. flash magisk.zip
5. reboot system

Nevermind post above me had it right

Stuck on Google splash screen after flash of rom.

After about a month of my phone rebooting itself or freezing up on me, I decided to flash a new rom. I made sure I had the most recent TWRP v2.8.7.1, wiped my cache and did a factory wipe. I attempted to flash BlissPop v3.9 and it failed stating, "This package supports booloader (s): HHZ12h; this device has bootloader HHZ11d.
It rebooted and now just sits on the Google splash screen. I can turn it off and manually get into the bootloader screen and TWRP.
How will I be able to download another rom from my computer and put it onto my phone? Please be nice, I really suck at adb. I can I access my phones memory while its in Recovery mode?
And no, I was a dumbass and forgot to back up before I attempted to flash the rom.
abd push (drag desired rom here) /sdcard
After that boot into recovery and flash it. If you can't get to the phone that way then download the factory image from google and fastboot flash, or alternatively download the twrp image and fastboot boot (twrp img) again, just drag the file into the command prompt. If you boot into twrp, or just flash it, you can then push the rom.
Just flash the newer bootloader

Help with Windows USB drivers to root Oneplus 6

I followed this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD1OlbfHdwE
Now I got in to TWRP, and I need to put boot.img, magisk zip and twrp zip into phone storage, but my OnePlus wont show up in Explorer like in the video. When I check in device manager ADB drivers are installed and windows wont replace them with the Android bootloader interface drivers that he uses in the video. I have ran the driver msi file like in the video but windows keeps using its driver.
I am a total newbie at rooting btw
anyone got a solution? now I'm stuck in TWRP and don't really dare to do anything haha
If you know xda why do you follow a youtube video to root your device?!
Can't you mount your storage in twrp so it gets shown in windows?
If you factory reset your phone and boot android it should show you a partition with op drivers. No need to download them.

Dont know haha, had some trouble with other guides and ended up with this one.
Did a little workaround, I used adb sideload to transfer a folder with the files to, flashed boot.img, twrp and magisk but now it has sat on boot screen (red circle with 2 white spinning around) for 10 minutes ?

nope… Just followed the video, flashed all the files and reboot
I would start from scratch.
With adb working move latest oos firmware (5.1.11), latest twrp.zip (3.2.3.0) and latest magisk.zip (17.1) to your internal storage.
In twrp flash latest full (~1,4gb) firmware, don't reboot but flash twrp.zip. Now reboot recovery and flash magisk.zip.
System should boot, is rooted and custom recovery is in place.

Sounds good but now TWRP is stuck at its loading screen….
Then turn off phone. Reboot to bootloader and boot twrp with fastboot
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-enchilada.img
Flash twrp.zip and reboot recovery.

So now I really don't know what to do, just want my phone working tbh. Recovery ends up in loading TWRP screen, booting twrp with fastboot doesnt work, normal boot ofc doesnt work
Kind of regretting trying to root now...
Did you turn your phone off (unplugged from power, pc).
Then wait five minutes and boot bootloader (vol+ + power).

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?

Pixel TWRP boot loop

So I did the following steps
- Unlocked bootloader
- Booted in TWRP
- Installed TWRP zip from the recovery
- Installed magisk.zip
Everything seemed to work fine, but now it takes forever to boot, an only boots into TWRP, asking for my password.
I cannot seem to boot normally.
Please help, thanks for your time
I think most of the time if you flash the boot.img from whatever stock firmware you are on it should boot right up,,,atleast thats what i did in the past

If you're running a stock ROM, you have to have the full factory image downloaded, and extract the boot.img file. Then, put your phone in bootloader mode and run the following command from your PC: fastboot flash boot boot.img
You will lose TWRP & root, but you will be able to boot. When you go through the process again, reboot after each flash, so you know whether it has worked.
Isnt that basically what I said? Just making sure because you included me on your post?

Need help needed with fastboot(loop)

I've decided to upgrade to OOS11 stable and patch the boot before going into the rom. What I did was:
1. Flash latest TWRP (3.5.2_9-0)
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Flash ONLY OOS11 boot.img
4. Flash TWRP again
5. Install Magisk and Kirisakura-R 1.1.1 kernal (for f2fs support)
6. Reboot to recovery
Here I was going to do the same on other partition but TWRP failed to boot and screen kept flashing but I noticed that ADB was connected so I rebooted to fastboot and flash stock boot I've previously extracted from stock ROM. Now I face another problem, phone doesn't boot anywhere else but fastboot.
I've tried a few stuff to get it back.
# There were some cases where the phone won't boot with bootloader unlocked and stock boot so I managed to patch boot.img with Magisk using an emulator and then flash it.
# Tried booting into TWRP but phone phone would get stuck in "Fastboot mode" screen with fastboot still connected (And taking commands from PC).
# Tried flashing TWRP to boot partition which worked previously but this time the problem stayed and kept booting into fastboot.
A few more points that I should mention,
# I've backed up my entire phone using TWRP so I can unbrick it if I somehow manage to get into TWRP
# I don't have the backup on my computer. It's on the phone.
I absolutely can't lose those data. Yeah, mistake on my side for not backing up on my computer but to my defense, this never happened before so I let my guard down this time.
What options do I have left? Any hint would be appreciated. Thanks for reading
