OnePlus One - Won't boot RR , boot loop happens

Hi!
A while back I had some issues with the phone, it was when I was supposed to boot it, it always took 2 tries. It always got stuck, then had to long press the lock key to hard reboot it, then it worked fine. This prevented me from doing a factory reset (in hope to fix (what I later found out was) a media rescan etc). Tried to root it, something happened and it wouldn't boot anymore. Yiti yata and the phone wouldn't boot. Finally I got it back to life with some guide on here and I used whatever 4.4.4 I downloaded.
The software wouldn't find any "normal" update phone updates, so I figured I would try Resurrection Remix 7.1.x (.2 I think it was). At first I got just that it failed with some 2.x twrp version. Updated to TWRP 3.1.x.x (3.1.1.0 if I guess). Now I got to know that it was a TZ error (ERROR 7) from TWRP. This happened to my "RR-N-v5.8.3-20170718-bacon-Official.zip" file. I managed to get around it by doing this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522762. So I could get this installed, sort of I think. The problem now was that it would show the very first oneplus boot screen for around 20 ish seconds, before it would reboot in a boot loop.
So I tried to install some other CM Lineage Os nightly thing (they said install that and then RR), but that didn't work either. This post was the one I donwloaded from (install this first, then RR should work).
I tried doing this both on TWRP 2.8.6.0 and 3.1.1.0 since I saw some post about the modem not being right from versions newer than 2.8.6.0.
Looking around a bit more I saw in some post someone talking about firmware..? Does this matter anything, also how is this different from the recovery or ROM? (new to this stuff)
In short, last working version of Android I had on there was 4.4.4 (think I followed this post). Using a Mac currently and have no problem with flashing, entering fastboot or recovery.
My procedure when I tried to install RR was:
Install the TWRP 3.1.1.0 or 2.8.6.0 (since I did it several times).
Wipe everything (Have nothing of value on the phone) cache, system, internal storage, dalvik and data. Also did a factory reset (from TWRP) before if that matters.
Copied RR and Gapps 7.1 ARM (not arm64) over.
Installed RR, wiped cache/dalvik. (or linear/cm (post above^^) when I tried that)
Installed Gapps, wiped cache/dalvik.
Boot loop.
Also tried with/without emptying cache/dalvik also chose to install both zips at once.
So can anyone clue in how I can proceed to get RR 7.1 onto my OPO? Any help is very much appreciated
I'm sorry if this wasn't the best post. Have an immense headache at the moment

Calm down.
You're right about that firmware thing,that is the one causing issue when you're trying to flash RR 5.8.3 over KitKat.
This is because the firmware that kitkat comes with,is old and don't support newer android versions,that's because it is made for KitKat only.
Always use latest Twrp(https://dl.twrp.me/bacon/).
Make sure you don't edit any zip like what you did with the Rom zip earlier(devs don't post non-working zips),I'm sure you've a backup of your non-edited zip,if not,re-download the zip.
Now boot into latest twrp,wipe everything except internal storage.
Firmware: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxysuRdzsJeWeW9JbTNwaUJKb1E/view?usp=drivesdk
Flash the above zip,then without wiping anything flash rom zip(unedited) then flash google apps package(opengapps.org)(optional).
Reboot.It should boot fine now.
Good luck!

Thank you so much! Got it working on 1st try with what you provided! Seems like the firmware thing was the bad guy in this scenario. A little interest, what specifically is the firmware in this case? Either way, rocking RR now and I'm really grateful

I'm glad you got it up and running.
Here are some FAQs:
What is a Firmware? What is Modem?
- Firmware is the whole package of proprietary partitions of your device, modem itself is a NON-HLOS file responsible for your device's communications over Wi-Fi, Mobile Networks and other such stuff.
So what is the difference between firmware and ROM then?
- Firmware is the responsible partition for IMEIs, the modemst partitions hold your IMEI, persist holds your Mac addresses etc.
ROM is only a combination​ of system.img and boot.img (kernel)
What to restore if I loose my IMEI?
- Both the modemst partitions (IMP: considering you took a backup of them before)
What is the default firmware? (default= firmware which comes with the latest CM/ LineageOS 14.1 weeklies)
- c6-00241

Thanks a lot, once again

Help!
I'm not sure of all the specifics on my oneplus one but I accidentally updated the wrong update from my nightly bacon.. it now is stuck in Boot Loop I can get to the fastboot screen (it gets stuck there too) and I can get to the recovery, etc (but it is not the usual screen with all the folders (it was rooted).. it is now just four options in Cyanogenmod recovery.. none work. I do not want to lose my data :crying: .. Sadly my techy is not available to save me! Please help this untechy Cali Girl! I've googled and researched and its still like a foreign language.. Thank you!!

I am not 100% sure, but I would say, boot into fastboot, flash something like TWRP recovery, then you will be able to access the device files from the recovery. Just reflashing the boot shouldn't mess up anything as far as I am concerned. After that (when you've grabbed all the files you want), flash the newest firmware the guy linked above and install your latest 7.0 ROM

Yes you do. You need that + some software. Check out some "install custom recovery oneplus one" guides, you should be able to find something. Are you on Mac or Windows?

Yes I'm on Windows 10.. I tried removing battery overnight as well .. its not boiling hot anymore but still stuck in bootloop.

Download the Samsung ADB driver or whatever it was called, then flash a new recovery for it. There are multiple guides for doing that. After that you should be able to transfer your files to your pc while being in recovery mode

TWRP says no OS is installed, but I just flashed it. Can anybody help?

Hi,
Its been a while since I been attentive to my Pixel. I was a lucky one who managed to get a Verizon 7.1.2 with an unlocked bootloader. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed a ROM, and rooted and haven't had a single major problem since.
I was running Resurrection Remix from about March and I yesterday I wanted to try to use Android Pay, so I followed a tutorial I found in another thread here to install Magisk, and when it was all said and done I ended up in a boot loop where the phone would reset as soon as it reaches the Google logo, ramdump, and eventually boot back into TWRP.
In the attempts to delete out all kinds of caches and dalviks and factory resets and whatever else, nothing worked.
So in the end I decided to just flash a new ROM. Flashed the latest Pure Nexus, reflashed TWRP, flashed the vendor image... went to go reboot and it gives me the WARNING! NO OS INSTALLED! error. I thought that was odd and decided to just update to the latest Resurrection Remix - same problem.
At this point I am unsure what to do next. I don't care about any user data on the phone, I just want to get it back up and running with a new ROM.
I have a few questions and thank you in advance for all help you may be able to offer:
1) Why am I getting the NO OS INSTALLED issue directly after flashing a ROM? Logs indicate no errors whatsoever. /system/ is mounted. Every time I boot into TWRP it asks me if I want to Keep System partition read only. I always tell it to allow modifications and never ask me this question again - it asks every time. Is it possible that /system/ can actually remain empty even after a fresh ROM install that gives no errors in the log?
2) I believe that I am supposed to reflash to stock image that this phone shipped with to start all over. If I reflash back to stock, will my bootloader have any chance of locking again? I don't even know what version the stock image was, and I'm further confused/concerned about the fact that it was a 7.1.2 image I shipped with - from my understanding there were security updates which make unlocking/rooting impossible. I don't understand why you have to start that far back - is it even needed? The latest Resurrection Remix ROM install instructions assumes that I am on latest "Firmware" NOF26W. This is another issue I don't understand - what is a firmware? The full factory image? In any case, NOF26W is specifically for Rogers Google Pixel devices. Since I need to be on this "firmware" before I install latest, can I just flash the NOF26W Stock image despite the fact that I am using a rooted Verizon Pixel? The NOF26W image is 1.8GB: What exactly in this ZIP am I supposed to flash?
3) There were various weird things about this phone/flashing ROMs that I seem to recall such as having to boot an older TWRP before flashing ROM and then flashing the newer TWRP - is any of this stuff still relevant?
4) I also remember that many people were fastbooting TWRP rather than flashing TWRP for some reason - are there specific builds/non-standard stuff required for any of this to work on the Pixel?
I really appreciate all and any help that anybody can provide. If there's files that you're referring to, PLEASE send links. I need to get this phone back up and running ASAP.
Thanks again!!

when you wipe system, twrp wipes current active slot but when install a rom, it gets installed in the inactive slot (which will become active upon reboot). but twrp still thinks the currently active slots system is erased and complains that no os is installed.

This. I just reboot anyway after seeing that message and I've never had any issues.

Wi-fi not working on any custom rom

Hi, I have OP6 since day one. Unlocked, with blu_spark TWRP, rooted with Magisk. Didn't have any problems. Yesterday I decided to try some custom rom and I hit a wall. Can't make Wi-Fi working - tried NitrogenOS and ViperOS. As I don't have a lot of experience with A/B partitions I tried few step by step instructions I was able to find here. Tried with latest stable, latest beta, different versions of TWRP. Problem is not related to Magisk or Gapps - wifi is not working and can't do anything about it.
At my first try I forgot to reflash twrp and I lost access to internal memory (pin in twrp), so I flashed full stock (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665) and started from this - nothing.
Tried latest beta flashed through TWRP - same effect.
I tried to decrypt everything with dm-verity fix - everything is fine, except wifi.
I've done 10-15 attemps to flash everything since yesterday.
Can somebody write a step by step instruction how to flash something correctly, that's fight for honor at this point:fingers-crossed:? I have no idea what I am doing wrong or what I am missing I flashed plenty of phones and never had problems like this.
On stock(stable and beta) wi-fi is working like it should, olny custom roms are making a problem.

Use the unbrick tool. It will force write all your partitions.

Last thing I did was flash-all-partitions.bat from image mentioned in my post. I gave up idea of custom rom for now. But I'll try unbrick tool on my next attempt.

i have the SAME problem, did you manage to fix this?

can't get anything to boot

All I have access to is twrp 3.4 and the all in one tool. Through flashing I screwed up along the way. Can't say where @ this point but just need to make my phone stock again to start over. I've flashed factory OOS 10.3.3, 10.3.4. each time wiping data and dalvik. Re installed twrp 3.4 and magisk 20.4. I've tried flashing aosp roms as well. Had resurection remix installed and wanted to try and go back to OOS and flash renovate ice magisk mod and never got it to boot into 10.3.3 OOS. All that happens is it goes to bootloader unlocked screen and then black with vibration and reboots into twrp. I even have a rr back up and a stock backup that won't take either. This is all being done using an otg. Not familiar with adb on the laptop. I'm familiar with root, unlocking bootloader, and flashing things but from the nexus era. Things are a bit different now and I've been extensively reading and it seems each rom has its own method of flashing. wish I wouldn't have stopped with modding from years ago. Any help is greatly appreciated as I don't currently have a working phone

Format data. Phone will boot then.

Worked perfect, thanks!! Does that have to be formatted after any ROM install including backups? I've looked through the guides and other threads and there isn't a how to step by step explanation of how to flash new Roms or restore backups

how to know if it's a bootloop?

hello i was upgrading from stock 9.0.7 to 9.0.9, my bootloader is unlocked and twrp is a permanent one, the phone is also rooted. i wiped system then flashed the 9.0.9 then flashed the 4.0.4 twrp, rebooted into twrp, flashed latest magisk, rebooted into twrp and then pressed reboot into system. the phone is encrypted. the booting animation has been on for 20-30 minutes at this point. is it a bootloop? why what did i do wrong? thanks

@seth wellington
Try formatting data them reboot system. That should get you booted up.
Never wipe system or vendor on these devices and always when flashing a rom flash TWRP installer zip or you won't have twrp because of where recovery is located which is same place as boot.img and it has to be installed when flashing a rom or update to a rom or it won't be present.
How I flash OOS on my once T-Mobile now converted international/global OnePlus 6t.
Boot TWRP
Flash OOS global 10.3.6
Flash TWRP installer
Flash finalize
Format data
Reboot system
How I install a rom on my converted OnePlus 6t. This installation process varies depending on whether or not whatever rom I'm installing comes with gapps and or TWRP and of course you don't want to install global OOS on another model device. Since I converted my T-Mobile OnePlus 6t using guide and msm tool I now use global or international OnePlus 6t roms, firmware... Example Pixel Experience rom installation:
Boot TWRP
Flash OOS 10.3.6 global from repo xda thread
Flash Pixel Experience rom
Flash TWRP installer zip
Flash finalize zip
Format data
Reboot system.
Start to set up device then at some point enable developer options and usb debugging and doable any lock screen and boot twrp and flash magisk for root and reboot system. That is how I install a rom that has gapps but not twrp included in rom zip. Finalize can he found with a quick search on xda. It copies firmware to other slot on your AB partition device so that you don't have to. Saves 5-6 minutes and works great.
Edit
What you could have done is just flash your updated OOS , flash TWRP installer zip, reboot recovery, flash magisk, reboot system. That's what I would have done updating OOS ..
Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately I couldn't wait for that long and I had to do something right then. After some attempts I also lost my twrp and was left without a functioning recovery, so I had to look for help and some people helped me go through unbricking through the msm tool.
The thing is i just really want to always flash clean so that the phone doesn't lag and works properly, I had no idea you shouldn't wipe system... The guide that I followed said that when updating oxygen manually you have to wipe system so I thought nothing would go wrong. I still don't know what caused a bootloop since that guide was a verified one. Thanks a lot for your help. So if I'm reading it correctly, you have to do the wipes after you've installed the system, not before?

Quit a few pretty well known developers here on xda (AOSiP op is one and there are more) say not to wipe system or vendor in their first posts of their custom rom threads. The way I describe how I install works 100% always and is the cleanest possible installation. Formatting data when installing a new rom at the end of install process does all the wiping needed to make sure nothing is left from the past and everything is clean. I used to wipe various partitions but on other devices. The install directions I use are originally from the PiXeN rom developers op. I've been flashing roms since the Nexus S days. Not saying that means anything other than I'm kinda old now. ? But that install process has never failed me once and I've flashed I'm sure hundreds of times on this device.. When I update i just flashing the updated rom over current and don't wipe anything then flashing twrp installer zip, reboot recovery flash magisk reboot system or if gapps are needed when I reboot recovery flash gapps..Unless it's a major OS update that's always worked for me.
Possibly not formatting data caused boot loop.. I know when going from OOS to AOSP rom format data is mandatory or it won't boot system.. I never flash magisk during initial flash. I always boot system first then at some point boot twrp and flash magisk. Try that next round and see if it turns out better. The whole AB partition deal made me feel like I was really old and retarded.
If I was updating OOS I would boot recovery, flash OOS, flash twrp installer zip reboot recovery, flash magisk, reboot system. Check out the finalize script xda thread. There are two here. The original person who made finalize has a thread and another user has another finalize thread. I believe in guides section of OnePlus 6t. With Android there are always more than a few ways to achieve something you know ... But what I post here is what I've been doing and I've flashed 400-500 times at least on this device.

@flash713
I totally trust you and respect anything you say and recommend me to do. Thanks a lot for all the instructions and clarification. I've been into android far less time than you — only since oneplus one. I'm extremely bad with tech but even with that phone j somehow managed to get bootloops or half-bricks ten times less than with the oneplus 6. And back then in 2015 I was way more enthusiastic: flashing twice a month loads and loads of roms. Of course it wasn't my personal achievement, I was still simply following detailed and carefully written instructions on forums on how to flash a particular rom in a particular way, but hey, at least I somehow managed it.
Now in this case I'm assuming it's the a/b partitions they've introduced that have completely changed the process and ways of flashing to the point that I stick to the guides and still get bootloops lol. That unbricking process was a huge stress for me, I don't think I'm going to touch anything in my phone for a while now. And I'm on the latest 10.3.6 oxygen so it's alright. Thank you for your help buddy

Np. My real first name is Seth. Haha. Cool name btw. I just installed OOS 10.3.7 on my 6t. I was notified of the update yesterday via oxygen updater app from play store. Good handy app to have. I would have never known 10.3.7 was out or at least not so soon if it wasn't for that app. I believe it auto notified me too. I don't remember setting it up. Android has changed soooo much you know.. I love my OnePlus 6t though. Definitely one of my most favorite devices I've ever used. What's new today is gone at some point and replaced with "better.." lol. Not always better imo anyway. Glad I could help. Feel free to message me any time. Good day to you.
