Things are changing with the advent of project treble and seamless updates. OnePlus will no longer release ROMs flashable via recovery (either stock or twrp) because is no more needed. The updates will be done on the slot not used for example if you are using slot a the update will be installed on slot b and the slot b will be set as default. If you brick and you are in bootloop how you can restore the rom? You can't with Stock ROM you have, because the zip can be only installed via Update Engine, so what can you do? Flash a stock rom via fastboot. I have extracted all images from the stock zip and i have made a new zip with the Fastboot ROM with a flash-all.bat included. This will work only if your bootloader is unlocked. This will erase all your data and will wipe your internal storage.
HOW TO FLASH
This version is only for not branded devices
Download the zip;
Unpack the zip in a folder;
Reboot the OnePlus 7 in fastboot mode (Power and volume + and volume-);
Connect the OnePlus 7 to PC;
Run flash-all.bat flasher you need;
Wait until the process end;
The phone will automatically reboot.
FLASHER ADVANCED GUIDE
flash-all-partitions-fastboot.bat : this .bat will flash all possible partitions through fastboot (Except persist) , there are some criticals partitions that can't be flashed through fastboot;
flash-only-persist.bat : this .bat will flash only persist partition in fastboot mode (This is good for people that have problems with sensor);
flash-all-partitions-recovery-criticals.bat : this .bat will boot the twrp and will flash criticals partitions, use this carefully;
flash-system-boot-vendor.bat : this .bat is the same of older flash-all.bat and so it will flash only vendor, system and boot;
flash-all-partitions.bat : this .bat will run flash-all-partitions-fastboot.bat , then flash-only-persist.bat and then flash-all-partitions-recovery-criticals.bat .
Now usually the one needed is only the first "flash-all-partitions-fastboot.bat" but if you are badly bricked i recommend to use flash-all-partitions.bat .

BRANDED PHONE
For now branded device are not supported
MANUAL FLASH: Windows - OSX - Linux
If you want to manual flash these roms these are the commands (you need to extract images.zip before proceed)
Fastboot Partitions:
Code:
fastboot flash aop_a aop.img
fastboot flash aop_b aop.img
fastboot flash bluetooth_a bluetooth.img
fastboot flash bluetooth_b bluetooth.img
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

fastboot flash dtbo_b dtbo.img
fastboot flash modem_a modem.img
fastboot flash modem_b modem.img
fastboot flash oem_stanvbk oem_stanvbk.img
fastboot flash qupfw_a qupfw.img
fastboot flash qupfw_b qupfw.img
fastboot flash storsec_a storsec.img
fastboot flash storsec_b storsec.img
fastboot flash system_a system.img
fastboot flash system_b system.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_b vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vendor_a vendor.img
fastboot flash vendor_b vendor.img
fastboot flash LOGO_a LOGO.img
fastboot flash LOGO_b LOGO.img
If you need also persist partition, this is the command:
Code:
fastboot flash persist persist.img
Criticals Partitions, for these you need to boot the TWRP:
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP.img
When you are in TWRP you need to run these commands to push and flash all criticals partitions:
Code:
adb push abl.img /sdcard/abl.img
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/abl.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/abl_a

REMEMBER
"Invalid sparce file format at header magic" is not an error, you need to wait a bit when you see that string, just wait.
These ROMs can't be used to update or downgrade your phone but just to restore your phone, so don't use them to come back to oreo or to update from oreo to pie.
If the rom seems doesn't start go in recovery stock and follow this guideline: English -> Wipe data and cache -> Erase everything.
If you want to rebrand your phone from HydrogenOS to OxygenOS you can follow this guide: Rebrand Guide
If you want you can use also my tool to flash Factory Images, unlock bootloader, flash twrp or to understand if the device is recognized: https://toolaio.tk/

What does branded devices mean?
What about locking the bootloader. I noticed recovery image is not included
Recovery is a part of the boot image for A/B devices such as Oneplus 7.

There were multiple scripts included in the zip
Just Be sure to flash the script that does not include -w fastboot parameter
Also, @mauronofrio My phone was originally GM57AA, but since stock image is of GM57BA my phone become GM57BA. Any ideas on how to go back to GM57AA...?

Go in stock recovery, go to wipe data, check also internal storage and wipe it, then it should work.

There is 3 options. Reset system settings, wipe cache & erase everything. There does not appear to be an option to "wipe data" like it would say in twrp or check internal storage. I erased everything and restarted the process, hope that was what you meant.
---------- Post added at 19:23 ---------- Previous post was at 19:15 ----------
That worked, now my question is. The reason i was doing this was because slot B was unable to mount storage, slot A worked fine and phone worked fine. Would this process fix the issue i had with slot B?

if in the slots you have different roms with different security patches only the recent slot will be able to boot. In the .bat there is a command to wipe data, but i don't know why it doesn't work on the oneplus 7 pro

I don't have a 1+7p, so i wouldn't know anything about that. Phone was 9.5.5 when i got it, updated to 9.5.6 with some problems. Wanted to update to 9.5.7 which was unsuccessful. When loading slot B in twrp it could not mount storage or sdcard. Looking at cmd while running your tool, it looks like it's only working with slot A and not touching slot B at any point.

Hello friend, can you say how you did it in the end so that the two slots (A and B) will work? Thank you. Was it because you had encrypted memory and did not let mount slot B? What did you do? Thanks greetings.

@mauronofrio Hello friend, thanks for your work, I want to ask you if these files to put a rom by fastboot are valid for my version of OnePlus 7 (not pro) Chinese version Gm1900?
Another question I have is, my oneplus 7 gm1900 came with the AA version and I manually added the BA version locally for local improvement. If this fastboot method works, could I put the BA or do I have to put the AA files first?
Thank you.

I did as mentioned. When the .bat failed, i entered "Go in stock recovery" and choose "erase everything" and then ran the .bat again and it worked. I had encryption on both, so that was not the issue. It's fixed now.

Thank you for answering friend, what version do you have of OnePlus 7? Do you have the Chinese version Gm1900 ?.
Before putting the rom by fastboot did you have Twrp installed?

Yes it will work on the oneplus 7, there are 2 different thread for the fastboot roms this one is for oneplus 7 only. AA or BA there are not a lot of.differences, just use the one you prefer.
I accidentally made a mistake, flash custom kernel when my phone has custom kernel installed. Now every time i'm trying to boot up, my phone is only able to boot on fastboot mode, no recovery and i unable to install recovery too (stock/custom).
I wonder, is this method can save my phone?
Thank you.

Hi guys. If you can't install ROMs, this is your place to ask. Please be detailed, mention: ROM, build, your variant and firmware version. And tell us your specific issue.
Here's a guide on how to do it, and I'll link you to the files needed for the procedure:
1. If you're using a Google account, remove it in Settings > Accounts and factory reset. Else, skip this step.
2. Unlock your bootloader following Motorola's instructions. Google it, it'll be easy to find and follow.
3. Download:
. Fastboot tools/Minimal ADB & Fastboot or your prefered fastboot program for PC.
. A firmware image for your variant
. ROM you want to install
. GApps (optional): http://opengapps.org/
. Magisk (optional): https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
And the next files:
TWRP (img) & TWRP installer (zip): https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=299042
copypartitions.zip: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oiry9UfP2tf-5A6nQBF7pn2t2eSGKt0F/view
You'll need an SD card to store the files needed for installing the ROM, since internal storage won't be usable temporarily.
4. Hold power + volume down until you reach bootloader (fastboot mode).
In your extracted firmware folder open a terminal and flash your firmware files with these commands:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't worry if any error message appears.
5. Place TWRP .img file into your fastboot folder, and do "fastboot boot TWRP.img" - replace TWRP with file's real name, but it should be the IMG file's name, not the zip file's name. With TWRP booted, now check if the screen actually responds. If it doesn't, just turn your phone off, get into fastboot mode again, and boot TWRP until it works.
6. With that solved, now just copy copypartitions.zip to your sdcard (called external_sd in your phone) and install it. Also copy to your external_sd, just to save time, your ROM and TWRP's installer. And Magisk or GApps if you'll need them.
7. Reboot to bootloader, and do "fastboot -w".
8. "fastboot boot" TWRP again, flash ROM, and flash TWRP's installer (zip file). Boot system.
9. Reboot to bootloader, select recovery mode and flash Magisk/GApps if you need them.
10. Reboot to system, and enjoy
Any questions, feel free to ask 'em in the comments. Hope it works!
P.S.: OmniROM has its own recovery (TWRP is a recovery). So, keep that in mind and don't flash TWRP's zip in Omni if you want it to boot.
Also, if you want, you can try OrangeFOX. It's a cute TWRP replacement that has some interesting features. Worth checking out.
TL;DR:
1. Remove your Google account
2. Flash firmware with the set of commands attached.
3. "Fastboot boot" TWRP and flash copypartitions.zip.
4. Go to bootloader mode and do "fastboot -w".
5. Boot TWRP, flash ROM and TWRP's installer
5.1. Boot system
(optional) 6. Open recovery mode and flash Magisk/GApps.

You'll need an SD card to store the files needed for installing the ROM, since internal storage won't be usable temporarily.
All ROMs posted in XDA are actually working in this device.
Thank you for creating this thread. People need to get used to this A/B partition format. This is the proper forum to discuss these issues, not in the development section.
Using these instructions:
crDroid -> bootloop
bootleggers rom -> bootloop
lineageos -> bootloop
ressurection remix -> bootloop
Twrp is screaming at me "Failed to mount /data partition "invalid argument"
I noticed your instructions fail to mention you need to run through the setup process of android, then run fastboot -w, then run twrp format data as fastboot -w will (using retus and amz stock rom) create a "raw" partition table and so on. None of the current roms can handle this and will bootloop.
These incomplete instructions will waste people's time and cause problems.
Please reconsider the purpose of this thread. It is the developers responsibility to add a filesystem check during rom flash and write working instructions. Currently only bootleggers instructions will work to any capacity due to their inbuilt sanity checks.

Hey. like I said at the beggining of the thread, it's not possible to help you without giving specifics. Give that info and I'll help you.
I made this thread because this steps worked to dozens of users, and I'm not joking. Literally. They are not incomplete since they worked for everyone. Search for our group in Telegram if you think it's not true. We might be able to help you there too.
TWRP screams "Failed to mount /data partition", that's why internal storage won't work temporarily until you flash a ROM. Could that be better? Of course. But still the procedure works.
"I noticed your instructions fail to mention you need to run through the setup process of..." Nope. There's no need for that. That's why I didn't mentioned it, because I've tried lots of ROMs and never needed to do that.
Also, do you have latest fastboot? Some users had issues because of using older versions of that program.
But yeah, I'm not some friend who can go to your house and see what you've got. So, we need information. I won't be able to help you further if you don't do your part. Tell me what you've got please.

I dont install magisk outside of booting a magisk patched boot img to modify hosts for less CONSTANT TRACKING
Hey, did you read my last reply, as well as the first line of this thread? Where I require specifically to give me some info first to be able to help you. I'm like trying to help a question mark... try to follow a simple rule.
In step 9, you're doing "fastboot boot" to TWRP, or you're actually going to recovery mode? We need to know if TWRP install actually works. Even if you won't use any Magisk or GApps, check if it is actually installed AND working.
I've also heard of users that had issues booting of the first time a ROM with TWRP installed. Maybe just do the procedure until you have to flash a ROM, and boot the system instead of installing TWRP. And flash TWRP after the ROM already booted and it's running.
Also, how much time should pass for you to consider for a ROM to be bootlooping?
Well, both fastboot -w and TWRP mount /data errors are the same thing. Fastboot isn't able to format it properly, so data is not mounted by TWRP. Like I said before, it's a temporal thing that's fixed when flashing the ROM. Don't worry about that.
But please, I don't know if you do this on purpose, you're not following even a simple request stated at the beggining of the thread. Please answer that to keep the conversation going, I won't reply you any further if you don't do your part.

Dude, I had the same issue as you, couldn't load any roms, no matter what guide I followed, it always bootlooped. Turned out to be my microSD was causing it. I followed Life_goes_on's solution on this thread (post #74):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g7-power/development/rom-resurrection-remix-t3994687/page8
Substituted 'fastboot erase userdata' for 'fastboot -w' and took out my microSD before booting it up and it worked.
I'm using the MetroPCS version on RETUS firmware.

Hey, did you read my last reply, as well as the first line of this thread? Where I require specifically to give me some info first to be able to help you. I'm like trying to help a question mark... try to follow a simple rule.
In step 9, you're doing "fastboot boot" to TWRP, or you're actually going to recovery mode? We need to know if TWRP install actually works. Even if you won't use any Magisk or GApps, check if it is actually installed AND working.
I've also heard of users that had issues booting of the first time a ROM with TWRP installed. Maybe just do the procedure until you have to flash a ROM, and boot the system instead of installing TWRP. And flash TWRP after the ROM already booted and it's running.
Also, how much time should pass for you to consider for a ROM to be bootlooping?
Well, both fastboot -w and TWRP mount /data errors are the same thing. Fastboot isn't able to format it properly, so data is not mounted by TWRP. Like I said before, it's a temporal thing that's fixed when flashing the ROM. Don't worry about that.
But please, I don't know if you do this on purpose, you're not following even a simple request stated at the beggining of the thread. Please answer that to keep the conversation going, I won't reply you any further if you don't do your part.

After i flash rom and twrp I can go to twrp by holding volume down and pwr then selecting recovery at that point or can boot it via fastboot. I think that it changes parition (from a to b) during this process so I always use twrp to reboot to recovery even if I am not flashing gapps or magisk to rule out problems.

Alright I figured it out. It was my sdcard. I did everything using the Dave Chappelle method and it fixed it.
Dave Chappelle method:
1- remove sd card. In fact just remove the whole tray.
2- go back to stock, boot it, do whatever you gotta do. There is a thread on how to go back to stock, follow those instructions, its beyond the scope of the Dave Chappelle method.
3- go to bootloader with vol+pwr held
get your copypartitions.zip, your rom.zip, and twrp.img and twrp.zip in a folder. I like sybers twrp mod but whatever use official doesnt matter.
fastboot boot twrp
wait 3 seconds
adb push copypartitions.zip /tmp/
go to twrp install and go up a level, click copypartitions.zip, and install it. /tmp/ is memory, our phone has enough ram to do this.
adb shell
cd /tmp/
rm copypartitions.zip
# you dont have to do above, but we dont want too much stuff in memory, rebooting SHOULD clear memory, but I havent used android extensively they may have windows hibernate thing or whatever.
exit
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp.img
adb push rom.zip /tmp/
go to twrp install and go up a level, click rom.zip, and install it. /tmp/ is memory, our phone has enough ram to do this.
adb shell
cd /tmp/
rm rom.zip
exit
adb push twrp.zip /tmp/
go to twrp install and go up a level, click twrp.zip, and install it. /tmp/ is memory, our phone has enough ram to do this.
adb shell
cd /tmp/
rm twrp.zip
exit
twrp select reboot bootloader
wait a tic
fastboot erase userdata
select recovery and boot
alright so at this point I am good because I dont want gapps or magisk I am done. I would boot a modified boot partition once a month and install adaware hosts modifications, then reboot. I dont want to be walking around with root or google proprietary code. I would then select reboot, make sure slotb is selected, and reboot system.
If you want gapps, then you flash your gapps at this point. I discourage you from doing so and encourage microg for google maps or whatever google service you actually need. I also discourage the idea of walking around with "hot" root. Where you can grant an application root at any time. It is trivial to write an application that modifies what the screen is displaying to trick you into accidentally granting root permissions.
Great guide! We really needed one. Btw you don't necessarily need a SD card to install zips, you can install them directly from your computer by sideloading them with adb on twrp. You can do that by going into twrp, then to Advanced and press on ADB Sideload, now on adb type in: "adb sideload thezipyouwanttoinstall.zip" and twrp will start installing that zip.

Hi guys. If you can't install ROMs, this is your place to ask. Please be detailed, mention: ROM, build, your variant and firmware version. And tell us your specific issue.
Here's a guide on how to do it, and I'll link you to the files needed for the procedure:
1. If you're using a Google account, remove it in Settings > Accounts and factory reset. Else, skip this step.
2. Unlock your bootloader following Motorola's instructions. Google it, it'll be easy to find and follow.
3. Download:
. Fastboot tools/Minimal ADB & Fastboot or your prefered fastboot program for PC.
. A firmware image for your variant
. ROM you want to install
. GApps (optional): http://opengapps.org/
. Magisk (optional): https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
And the next files:
TWRP (img) & TWRP installer (zip): https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=299042
copypartitions.zip: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oiry9UfP2tf-5A6nQBF7pn2t2eSGKt0F/view
You'll need an SD card to store the files needed for installing the ROM, since internal storage won't be usable temporarily.
4. Hold power + volume down until you reach bootloader (fastboot mode).
In your extracted firmware folder open a terminal and flash your firmware files with these commands:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't worry if any error message appears.
5. Place TWRP .img file into your fastboot folder, and do "fastboot boot TWRP.img" - replace TWRP with file's real name, but it should be the IMG file's name, not the zip file's name. With TWRP booted, now check if the screen actually responds. If it doesn't, just turn your phone off, get into fastboot mode again, and boot TWRP until it works.
6. With that solved, now just copy copypartitions.zip to your sdcard (called external_sd in your phone) and install it. Also copy to your external_sd, just to save time, your ROM and TWRP's installer. And Magisk or GApps if you'll need them.
7. Reboot to bootloader, and do "fastboot -w".
8. "fastboot boot" TWRP again, flash ROM, and flash TWRP's installer (zip file). Boot system.
9. Reboot to bootloader, select recovery mode and flash Magisk/GApps if you need them.
10. Reboot to system, and enjoy
Any questions, feel free to ask 'em in the comments. Hope it works!
P.S.: OmniROM has its own recovery (TWRP is a recovery). So, keep that in mind and don't flash TWRP's zip in Omni if you want it to boot.
Also, if you want, you can try OrangeFOX. It's a cute TWRP replacement that has some interesting features. Worth checking out.

@BETA215, I see some folks mentioning bootloops. I personally had many many bootloops before I found out that TWRP/ ROM flashing on this device does not play nice with exFAT filesystem. maybe a note about that in the OP? formatting my SDcard to VFAT resolved all my issues, when it was ExFAT I couldn't get anything past the boot logo
I've just spent the past 10 days trying to root my phone and use a custom ROM working (and detecting SIM card and most important functions). But it's always problem after problem after problem and at this point, I'm ready to give up. I feel broken. I'm at the point where I'd literally pay someone to take control and do it for me. I just can't do it no matter how much I learn, always a new problem and now I'm stuck at this one and I just can't take it anymore. Swear to god, I will pay .

SIM Card issue and no gapps?
Hi,
I installed Havoc OS on my moto g7 power XT1955-5, using these steps:
1) Switched off device
2) Volume down+Power to go in bootloader
3) CMD: fastboot erase userdata (maybe useless)
4) CMD: fastboot boot "C:\...\twrp.img" (or orangefox.img)
5) On Slot B mount "system" then wipe and format (maybe useless)
6) On Slot A mount "system" then wipe and format
7) Flash copy-partition-AB.zip
8) Flash Havoc ROM
9) Reboot -> Recovery
10) Flash GApps
11) Reboot -> Bootloader
13) CMD: fastboot erase userdata
14) CMD: fastboot reboot
(from time to time the message: failed to mount /data (invalid argument) popped up, and I don't know why)
However, havoc installed. I don't think Gapps installed though, because all I see in the os that is google related is a searchbar for apps only, gallery go, and the file manager. I used the "arm, 9.0, nano" options from the Gapps website, but when I flashed it, it said no changes were made. Did Gapps flash properly? If it didn't, how do you flash it properly? (I would expect the google play store to be in there somewhere, perhaps I need to get a heavier Gapps than nano?)
More importantly though, the OS says there is no sim card. I am on T-mobile, and calling and texting worked when I used lineage OS.
Does anyone have any advice of how to fix any of these issues? Again, my end goal is to have havoc os with the play store, and have the sim card working to make calls and texts.
Thank you one million to who ever can answer this.

This guide assumes you have the SDK Platform Tools installed and working, along with USB drivers for your device (if needed), and have your full update zip which you've already extracted the payload.bin from, and then dumped the images using payload dumper. If you haven't done any of these things yet, there are plenty of other guides out there on how to do them.
Steps:
1. Reboot your device to the bootloader (power off, then hold volume up + power) and connect it to USB.
2. The following command will wipe your device. I found this to be necessary to recover my OnePlus 9:
Code:
fastboot -w
3. Now flash the following files:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cpucp cpucp.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash modem modem.img
fastboot flash oplusstanvbk oplusstanvbk.img
fastboot flash oplus_sec oplus_sec.img
fastboot flash qweslicstore qweslicstore.img
fastboot flash shrm shrm.img
fastboot flash splash splash.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_vendor vbmeta_vendor.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
fastboot flash vm-bootsys vm-bootsys.img
4. Now reboot into userspace fastboot, aka fastbootd. If you don't do this, the remaining files cannot be flashed:
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
5. Flash the remaining files:
Code:
fastboot flash abl abl.img
fastboot flash aop aop.img
fastboot flash bluetooth bluetooth.img
fastboot flash devcfg devcfg.img
fastboot flash dsp dsp.img
fastboot flash featenabler featenabler.img
fastboot flash hyp hyp.img
fastboot flash imagefv imagefv.img
fastboot flash keymaster keymaster.img
fastboot flash multiimgoem multiimgoem.img
fastboot flash qupfw qupfw.img
fastboot flash tz tz.img
fastboot flash uefisecapp uefisecapp.img
fastboot flash xbl xbl.img
fastboot flash xbl_config xbl_config.img
fastboot flash product product.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash system_ext system_ext.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash odm odm.img
6. Final reboot:
Code:
fastboot reboot
7. If everything worked your phone should now boot into OxygenOS.
Note:
The files will be flashed to your currently active boot slot. If any of them fail to flash, switch to the other slot and start over from the beginning. I wasn't able to flash odm, product, system, system_ext and vendor to slot a, and had to use slot b instead. To check current slot:
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
To switch slots:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=a
or
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b
Use this guide at your own risk. I take no responsibility if you brick your device, set it on fire, or otherwise mess it up as a result of any of the above steps. That being said, it worked for me using 11.2.2.2.LE25AA available from the official OnePlus support website.
If you want, you can do the flashing easily with powershell, rather than running each command one after the other. Here is what I did:
1. Have fastboot.exe in your path, or in the same folder as all your extracted images. Open powershell and navigate to the folder with your boot images. Connect your phone to USB.
2. This will wipe your device! Reboot to the bootloader and run:
Code:
fastboot -w
3. Run:
Code:
gci -filter *.img | where {$_.Name.split('.')[0] -match 'boot|cpucp|dtbo|modem|oplusstanvbk|oplus_sec|qweslicstore|shrm|splash|vbmeta|vbmeta_vendor|vbmeta_system|vendor_boot|vm-bootsys'} | foreach-object { fastboot.exe flash $($_.Name.split('.')[0]) $_.Name }
4. Run:
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
5. Run:
Code:
gci -filter *.img | where {$_.Name.split('.')[0] -match 'abl|aop|bluetooth|devcfg|dsp|featenabler|hyp|imagefv|keymaster|multiimgoem|qupfw|tz|uefisecapp|xbl|xbl_config|product|system|system_ext|vendor|odm'} | foreach-object { fastboot.exe flash $($_.Name.split('.')[0]) $_.Name }
6. Run:
Code:
fastboot reboot
7. Proceed to boot normally.
The commands in steps 3 and 5 get a list of all files in the current directory with the .img extension, filter them to the correct ones to flash, and then flash them one after another.
If someone wants, I can probably throw together a script to run the whole process start to finish.
Edit: script attached. I've (unfortunately) had the opportunity to test it and fix all the bugs. So it works. You will need to have fastboot.exe accessible in your system PATH to run it.

That would be helpful indeed. Would this script run on mac as well?
Not unless there's a version of PowerShell for macs (there is for Linux, but I don't know if it's compatible).
@Slikkster2k: I tried your tutorial. At first it did not work...serveral errors occure during copying one file. On the second run I had to change the slot, than it runs through.
But now I am in a boot loop, during starting the oxygen.
While wiping I got this message:
Code:
fastboot: error: Cannot generate image for userdata
Which version of the OS did you use?
I tried to install the actual european rom (11.2.3.3) on my indian device from china but this obviously did not work. Do you have any suggestions for me?

I used 11.2.2.2.LE25AA as I said in the original post (this is the global variant, which matches my device). I am not sure if this works for cross-flashing, or if it's possible to cross-flash an Indian phone to EU. Have you tried restoring the Indian ROM? Does that work?
You're getting an actual boot loop? The error I was getting (and the reason I had to restore) was the phone booting to the bootloader or fastbootd (depending on the slot I tried) instead of Oxygen, because it couldn't mount the user partition due to encryption. In fastbootd an error was reported (I forget the exact one) which made me suspect it was a partition mounting issue. At no point was my phone actually boot looping, even during partial/failed flashes.
I've never encountered the error with fastboot -w, but I only did that on my phone once. From some searching online, it can be caused by an old version of the platform tools, so did you download the latest version?
@Slikkster2k: First of all, thank you for providing help
In deed, what worked was the indian first version. This i could flash and from there on everything works. Up to OS and than installing the latest european os. Now everything ist fine...
The error while whiping did not occure while using the indian version...so no clue why...
But now it works for me, thank you!

My phone has been weird for a week or so occasionally freezing up and saying system ui has crashed or something so I followed these instructions last night to completely wipe and reset everything (after backing up). It worked perfectly!
My only suggestion would be for step 7 to be:
fastboot reboot
Since we're already using fastboot it's just quicker and less fiddly than using the power button

Thanks, updated OP.
ok i kind of bricked my phone using this and i need a little help PLEASE?
Ok i tried the fist 2 steps 1. fastboot -w than the first list of commands using cmd with admin rights it worked...i think but it did load everything without issues...now i go to do the "fastboot reboot fastboot"
and now my phone is stuck on a black screen with nothing and i just hear the chime windows makes when you disconnect and reconnect a device..... and in the Device manager this comes up for 10 seconds than goes away for 5 than comes back NON STOP
i cant adb i cant do anything please help !
I'm not sure if this will help you, but I had a lot of issues initially running this. First off you need to use the Oneplus drivers, I don't think the qualcom driver will work the same way. I could be wrong, but that's what I did. Secondly, you need to force install the driver because Windows doesn't like it.
Here are the steps I took.
1. Uninstall any old drivers.
2. Install the newest Oneplus Drivers from here https://oneplususbdrivers.com/
3. Extract the zip file and run the installer like normal
4. Once the installer finishes, you'll need to reboot your machine and bring up the Startup settings (hold down shift and reboot (keep holding down shift until you get a screen with options)) Then click advanced and startup settings and hit restart after that. Once the machines starts up, on the first boot you will have a bunch of options. Choose option 7 "disabling driver signature enforcement" mode.
5. Once Windows launches and you login, go back into the device manager and follow these steps:
right click the device --> update driver
Browse my computer for drivers
Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
Show all Devices --> Next
Have Disk (Button)
Navigate to where you installed Oneplus drivers (Default: C:\Program Files (x86)\OnePlus USB Drivers)
Select "OnePlus_android_winusb.inf"
Select "Oneplus Android Bootloader Interface" and then just hit next/OK until it installs.
You might need to reboot after doing the above, but this worked for me.
----------------------------------------
The above should get your drivers working properly in all modes (adb, fastbootd, bootloader, normal)
One other issue that I ran into when I was using the powershell script was that I was seeing intermittent errors. After trial and error I realized that Windows was picking up a different version of fastboot. I was initially using the minimal adb/fastboot files, but if you compare those to the ones listed in the first post in the "SDK Platform Tools", they are very different from each other, so you need to make sure you use the SDK Platform Tools version. The minimal ADB/Fastboot version will NOT work.
After I got those 2 things ironed out, the powershell script ran without a hiccup and my phone is stock and booting without an issue.
I know I'm late to respond to this thread, but I hope someone finds this information helpful!
Mine keeps trying this and it isn't running and or rebooting into Fastbootd when the script is ran. Should I just try and invoke this manually? I've tried that as well an I'm seeming to get errors left and right with no resolve.
I'd say try it manually and see where the errors happen. Does it boot into fastbootd at all?
Good work

Actually, I ended up making my phone hard bricked to the point where it doesn’t even turn on at this point. I’m just going to send it in for repair, which is nothing short of being due to my stupidity.

It's probably stuck in edl mode. Nothing on the screen, no vibration or anything but it shows up in device manager when connected to a computer?
Try the man tool mentioned Here that worked for me.

I’ll give it a shot, yeah it doesn’t do anything. Can’t see a display or anything on the screen.
I got Motorola Edge S from China, and plan to:
1. Unlock (Succeeded !)
2a. fastboot flash boot twrp-3.5.2_11.0-2-nio.img
fastboot flash boot_b twrp-3.5.2_11.0-2-nio.img
SD card cannot work properly, as well as Adb sideload, so Official LOS.zip cannot be flashed,
OR
2b. fastboot flash boot lineage-19.1-20220604-recovery-nio.img
fastboot flash boot_b lineage-19.1-20220604-recovery-nio.img
Stucked on the Boot-up screen with Logo before Recovery mode.
3. flash Stock EU rom
(to achieve more international firmware, since I don't find independent firmware.zip)
4. flash LOS rom
N.B. [data] partition had been cleared, and I should haven't cleared [system] partition, but I cannot boot back to stock rom after Step 2, and I believe the stock rom has been removed for any accident.
Please help
Might be a long shot here, but I bricked G100 when trying to flash to both slots. Use the Motorola device recovery tool to bring it back to stock and flash only ONE slot (the active one) with your rom. There's installation scripts on this forum that do exactly this for you.

Initially I just flash one slot. Then I read that inconsistency between 2 slots can cause problem, so I have flash 2nd slot also, by copy-partitions-20210323_1922.zip or by "fastboot flash boot_b ...".
Now, I can also recovery and boot back to stock rom, by flash boot.img extracted from stock rom.zip with the same version as mine.
So the KEY problem is:
Under TWRP recovery loader, with ADB sideload turned on, the PC seems cannot connect & send below crucial command to Android:
$ fastboot flash boot lineage-19.1-20220604-recovery-nio.img
N.B. I have already used USB driver from Motorola, so ADB commands can run without problem, except ADB Sideload mode. Also, I have tried using USB 2.0 hub port with 2.0 cable (4-pins) as well.
TWRP for nio is not stable (yet). Use the instructions for lineageos official.

Late here but on 2a step, you can actually copy the ROM zip to internal storage since windows can detect your phone as storage device when it is in TWRP recovery.
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/nio/install is telling everything you need to know.
Though:
NEW:
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot --set-active=a
// Update firmware
// Files taken from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/nio/official/RETEU/
fastboot flash modem_a NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash modem_b NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase mdmddr
fastboot flash fsg_a fsg.mbn
fastboot flash fsg_b fsg.mbn
fastboot erase mdm1m9kefs1
fastboot erase mdm1m9kefs2
fastboot flash bluetooth_a BTFM.bin
fastboot flash bluetooth_b BTFM.bin
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot --set-active=a
// First setup
// Files taken from https://mirror.math.princeton.edu/pub/lineageos/full/nio/
fastboot flash dtbo_a dtbo.img
fastboot flash dtbo_b dtbo.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot_a vendor_boot.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot_b vendor_boot.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot --set-active=a
// Install recovery
// Files taken from https://download.lineageos.org/nio
fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img
for example:
fastboot flash boot_a <recovery.img>
fastboot flash boot_b <recovery.img>
fastboot reboot recovery
// Be sure all firmware is consistant
// Files taken from https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/tools/copy-partitions-20220613-signed.zip
adb sideload copy-partitions-20220613-signed.zip
fastboot reboot recovery
FRESH INSTALL OF LINEAGE
Code:
Reboot into recovery
CHECK WHICH IS THE ACTIVE PARTITION, FIRST TIME A
Goto “Factory reset”
Goto “Format data/factory reset”
Goto “Format data”
Goto “Apply Update”
Goto “Apply from adb”
adb sideload <lineageos.zip>
Goto “Advanced”
Goto “Reboot to recovery” (now active partition is changed to the updated one)
CHECK WHICH IS THE ACTIVE PARTITION, FIRST TIME SHOULD BE B!!
Reboot to system and setup...
(This is how I do it...)
(On updates, active partition is switching on reboot after you have done a flash of lineageos.zip file)
(Forget TWRP for this device as it is not finished and several bugs are there. Just use Lineage OS)
TWRP only works on Android 11, above that nothing will work and it will be very buggy
Hello all,
I rooted & unlocked my TMO OP9 using magisk and flashed a stock image.
I'm now trying to install a A13 mod from Pixel Experience. I patched the boot image after running the payload dumper tool. Now I have the patched boot image from magisk copied to my PC. I"m not sure what commands to run now once I reboot into fastboot. Maybe I'm not in the right fastboot (like fastbootd or something)
PS C:\Users\cterr\OneDrive\Desktop\OnePlus9-December2022> adb devices -l
List of devices attached
6bf0a351 device product:OnePlus9 model:LE2117 device:OnePlus9
PS C:\Users\cterr\OneDrive\Desktop\OnePlus9-December2022> adb reboot fastboot
<reboots>
<select fastboot from menu, reboots>
PS C:\Users\cterr\OneDrive\Desktop\OnePlus9-December2022> .\fastboot.exe flash boot .\magisk_patched-25200_aAy2x.img
< waiting for any device >
This fails as fastboot doesn't see my phone. I'm not even sure if I'm supposed to flash to <boot> or recovery.
I remember running this command below for disable-verity in the past but it fails as well. Probably due to a typo. If anyone can confirm that would be great. Do I use fastboot to flash to the boot? Like #fastboot flash boot <magisk_image>. I'm nervous that once I get the fastboot to flash i'll flash it to the wrong place.
PS C:\Users\cterr\OneDrive\Desktop\OnePlus9-December2022> fastboot flash vbmeta --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta.img
C:\Android\fastboot.exe: unknown option -- disable-verity
Thanks!
