i can't seem to boot into TWRP - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

first time OP7 Pro root, trying to install pixel experience rom. got fastboot, oem unlock and twrp successfully done but i cannot boot into twrp. back in stock OS so not bricked, but even after i repeated and flashed twrp (allegedly powershell says it was successful), i just cannot boot into twrp recovery. i downloaded the 10.3.8 directly from oneplus' site, not sure if i need to flash that first and try twrp again? i just have no idea what i'm doing wrong. thanks for any help!

Might be you only fastboot boot the twrp img. After you do that you need to install the TWRP zip for it to be permanent while in in twrp.

Phone boot only in recovery mode, or fastboot

Hello
I just installed Lineage, and it worked, installed it via fastboot boot recovery...
After installation, I wanted to install the recovery too, so i run the command fastboot flash recovery
Then I try it, and it's working. TWRP 3.0.2.0.
But, after reboot, it's booting directly to TWRP. Again and again. can't boot normally to system...
Anyone have a solution ?
Thank you

fastboot flash twrp.img
boot TWRP
install LOS zip

Hello

Try using newer version of TWRP.

Any help for OP6 stuck on "Boot Loader is unlocked" warning page ?

Hi everybody,
I tried to update my OOS to Android Q while keeping magisk, there was probably a module not compatible that I forgot to remove before and I could not access the interface after rebooting.
Trying to restore the stock boot.img with fastboot, now I am stuck on the "Boot Loader is unlocked" warning page and the phone refuses to boot.
I tried to wipe everything using fastboot -w but still can't boot normally, if anyone can help me solve this please, I would be grateful.
Regards.
Try flashing the unofficial TWRP for Q from here
You can follow that guide but don't install Magisk, then after successful boot, try flashing Magisk uninstaller in TWRP.
Can try flashing android 10 boot.img from #2 link.
this happened to me. It was because I had the usb pluged. If you take the usb out it will boot. Or at least mine worked that way.
What I did was completely restoring the device by flashing a fastboot ROM then updating to Q again. SO I've lost all my data.
Do you know any way I can root android Q actually ?

If you have access to fastboot then you can flash twrp and do below steps exactly else you will stuck at bootloader warning message
Reboot to fastboot mode. Flash TWRP img using the following command--> Oneplus blocked fastboot boot command
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp-******.img
From fastboot mode, reboot directly to recovery mode. Now you have a working TWRP. (If you already have Magisk earlier, flash Magisk uninstaller now before proceeding to the next steps)
In TWRP, flash the stock boot image in boot partition. Don't reboot .
Flash TWRP installer zip then reboot to recovery. You now have a fully working TWRP in OOS 10. . Don't reboot .
Flash Magisk v20.1. Reboot to system.

Unable to flash TWRP. Lost Recovery, OS and only have unlocked bootloader.

Hi,
I was on Oxygen OS 10.0.0. Rooted with twrp-3.3.1-4-enchilada and magisk 20.1. (I had used this guide to do it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/how-to-flash-twrp-magisk-android-10-t3988213) Today I downloaded the zip for 10.0.1 from the Oxygen Updater app and tried to flash it like I have done for OOS 9 in the past as usual. I went to recovery (I did not backup), I just wiped my data (not internal storage), cache and system. After that I tried to install the new zip but I got an error. It just said error unable to install. Didn't mention why. I tried flashing the older OOS 10 zip and got the same error.
So I thought I will try flashing on the other slot. I was on slot B. I switched to slot A and got the same error.
So I thought I will try to sideload. When I tried that I got the same error. So I thought I will try to reflash the twrp img itself. I went to fastboot mode and tried runnning this command
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-14-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img
It showed me this error
Sending 'boot.img' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.609s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Now I don't have any recovery at all. I have just the unlocked bootloader and no OS nor recovery. What can I do to flash TWRP again and install either OOS 10.0.1 zip or 10.0.0 zip? Any help will be great.
Thanks

So basically what happened there is TWRP doesn't boot with the oxygenos 10 bootloader. You will need to use the MSM download tool to unbrick your device.

But how is that? I was on stable OOS 10 before rooting following this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/how-to-flash-twrp-magisk-android-10-t3988213. As per this, the first step is to flash twrp and that image did flash back when I did it. Any idea why it doesn't work now?
Also, do you have any links for the MSM download tool and any guide if there is?
Thanks

The problem isn't TWRP it's the bootloader. That's all I know. And for the MSM download tool. See attached link below.

This doesn't work. It flashes successfully but when I select Reboot Recovery and press the power button, it boots back to the bootloader.
Maybe wrong twrp img
Try the older 3.3.1-12 twrp.img and then try
Also try the following as well
Fastboot flash boot_a twrp.img
Fastboot flash boot_b twrp.img
And try just reboot not reboot to recovery

Thanks so much for that! I have been able to recover the phone using MSM download tool. Now will update to 10 using the phones OTA.
However, I have one question, if I update to OOS 10.0.1, do you think this original post on rooting OOS 10, will work for it? https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/how-to-flash-twrp-magisk-android-10-t3988213 Or do you suggest to not root and wait?

Put the TWRP zip and stock boot img on phone (a TWRP img is not a TWRP zip)
Remove Magisk modules first to avoid issues (in TWRP if you cannot boot to system. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72542167&postcount=242)
Update through local update to 10.3.2 is what I prefer to do. Then I do the following.
Reboot to let phone finish whatever. reboot into bootloader.
1. Fastboot TWRP img - fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-18-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img - ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/ma...3.3.1-18-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img/download )
2. Use volume up to recovery and power button to boot to recovery
3. Flash 10.3.2 stock boot img while in TWRP (or current ROM stock boot img).
4. Flash TWRP zip while in TWRP (https://sourceforge.net/projects/ma...-enchilada-installer-mauronofrio.zip/download ) or Blu zip (https://github.com/engstk/android_device_oneplus_enchilada/releases)
5. Reboot to recovery
6. Flash Magisk 20.3 while in TWRP
(Flash a Q kernel if you want one other than stock)
7. Reboot system
You are now rooted

I had similar situation last evening.
I made the mistake of having a factory reset on rooted 9.0.8 and then trying to flash the 10.0.1
I got the same error, so I had to connect my mobile to my laptop, fastboot to the newest TWRP, flash the TWRP, flash the 9.0.9, flash the 10.0.1, flash magisk 20.x and then everything was working.

This worked for me.. Finally. PS - I did in a slightly different order. I installed twrp first, booted into twrp, made sure I was in slot A. If I wasnt, I rebooted to recovery. If I still wasnt I set slot to A manually then rebooted to recovery again. Flashed the stock boot img you linked to boot, then rebooted to recovery slot b (same process I did to get to slot a) then flashed the stock boot img to boot again THEN finally installed magisk. Booted to system, where it hanged a bit, rebooted before getting into android, but booted in just fine after that..
For some reason if you don't flash stock img to slot A (and maybe slot B too, I did this for good measure) before installing magisk everything dies a horrible death and breaks, which can't even be recovered from /boot /system backups..
EDIT: Tried to reboot into recovery, which reverted back to stock for some reason after doing the above steps. So I proceeded to install the bluspark recovery, rebooted into recovery, made sure I was in slot b, made a back up of the boot image, then flashed bluspark kernel. Got stuck at the unlocked bootloader screen. Rebooted into recovery, restored my /boot back. Still stuck when I try to boot into system. Fixed it by booting back into recovery in slot A flashing stock boot img, then into slot b stock boot, then magisk, but also installed bluspark kernel here because I had a feeling I would lose twrp from flashing to stock boot img, and that the issue was caused by twrp (both twrp-3.3.1-16-enchilada-installer-mauronofrio and twrp-3.3.1-x_blu_spark_v9.108_op6 have this issue). Guess what? Turns out I was right. Having twrp breaks everything after you install magisk, so you need to flash the stock boot img before flashing magisk for some reason.. and cant install twrp again unless you dont mind bricking your phone.
EDIT2: F2FS works, just boot into recovery via fastboot (this should be slot b), change /data to f2fs, boot back into fastboot then into recovery again by fastboot (slot b again), flash stock boot img > magisk > bluspark kernel > f2fs_fstab.zip > f2fs_optimize.zip > factory reset/wipe (from twrp before rebooting), done just reboot into system. You of course lose twrp because magisk doesnt like twrp on oos 10.x for some reason, and will need to set everything up again to cause of the wipe. If you dont factory reset/wipe from twrp before booting into system your system will crash and reboot every time you boot into android, then have to do all the steps I listed again.
EDIT3: Never mind, I was wrong, f2fs makes almost all your apps and storage unusable. Not sure if it's cause of the rom (OOS10.3.0) or because we have to flash stock boot.img and get rid of twrp before booting into system. Either way, f2fs has never really been stable or fun to get working so better to stick to ext4.. that few percent performance boost isnt worth it.
EDIT4: This is my last update. After experimenting with different things, bricking my phone, restoring it via fastboot rom, many many times, I've verified the simplest and cleanest way to install magisk.. Do note you wont be able to keep twrp.
Method A - If you already have twrp
Boot recovery into slot a, flash your rom's stock boot.img, then boot into your recovery in slot b (dont boot into slot a recovery because slot a wont have twrp anymore), flash your rom's stock boot.img, magisk and (optional) your kernel of choice (or not) in that order, then you can boot boot into system. That's it.
Method B - If you don't have twrp
Boot into fastboot, and from your cmd/terminal run fastboot flash boot yourtwrp.img (I suggest Mauronofrio's twrp-3.3.1-16-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img or newer). Use your volume buttons to select boot into recovery. Make sure your active slot is B, (if it isnt, install twrp (bluspark and Mauronofrio's twrp both work great) by zip, then follow the steps above in method A). Once you've verified you're in slot B flash your rom's stock boot.img, magisk and (optional) your kernel of choice (or not) in that order, then you can boot into system. That's it.
Maybe @mauronofrio or @eng.stk can verify why magisk or twrp bricks the system when you install them together on OOS 10.

@mauronofrio wrote the following in his TWRP thread a while ago:
So little update, after some tests i'm sure there is a compatibility problem between twrp and magisk, i was able to get only one of them, so actually i don't know how to proceed, i need to understand if it is a twrp problem or a magisk problem, TWRP is in stand-by for now.
There are not problems on Android Pie, if you need of the twrp on android Q just flash in boot partition the Q .img (fastboot flash boot twrp.img) and then reboot from fastboot in recovery. Before publishing the twrp I had not tested magisk and twrp together.
On Android 10 use only magisk 19.4

Basically worked for me, too, with 2 exceptions:
- this tool to remove magisk modules etc. wouldn't be flashed, always ended in an unnamed error; probably the cause for some other problems?
- flashing boot.img (V 10.3.4 from this thread) didn't work for me, I always ended up in twrp's splash screen
- got it solved by dirty flashing the full V 10.3.4 ROM (again from the above thread)
Many thanks once again!

Stuck on "Bootloader is unlocked" screen, can't boot into recovery

So I wanted to root my op6 after updating to android 10
(OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_041_all_1911142043_dde113e53cd0f9.zip)
I tried booting into twrp via fastboot using fastboot flash boot twrp.img (twrp-3.3.1-x_blu_spark_v9.101_op6.img, my bootloader is unlocked).
I then tried rebooting directly into twrp, but now it's just stuck on the "Bootloader is unlocked" screen.
I can still boot into fastboot, but I can't boot into recovery or reboot normally since it just gets stuck on the bootloader unlocked screen.
Please Help!
Edit1: Changing my boot slot from b to a gives me access to the stock recovery. not sure where to go from here though.
Edit2:Fortunately, ManikandanGuru had uploaded the stock boot.img, which works perfectly.
happened to me too. you just did a mistake and flashed the twrp recovery not to the recovery directory, you flashed it to the boot. if you want to make your recovery "twrp recovery", you just needed to do "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img. and if you want to make the "twrp recovery" only once (recommended), just do "fastboot boot twrp.img". now the only thing you can do is to flash the stock boot.img, like you did, or just to send your phone to phones fixing lab (like i did). it's much better and safe. they just flash on your phone the original oneplus 6 boot.img, not the stock one.
btw, i recommend you to use other twrp.img that built specially for android 10 (its safe, i use it). you can download it from https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ndts4-CLP3o0kvs8wL40w3HLoyqMfwfy/view?usp=sharing (dont worry i uploaded it by myself).
good luck
Happen to me yesterday....boot on bootloader and use some tools from Mauro frio to reinstall everything with a batch-file...

can't boot into twrp and I've soft-bricked my phone after updating to Android 12

Ok so i was trying to root my phone again after the Android 12 update. I messed it up and soft bricked my phone. fastboot works but fastboot roms haven't given me any luck and I'm now trying to install twrp so i can flash an older rom again but when i run fastboot boot twrp.img it just boots into fastboot again. am i really out of luck until twrp gets updated to Android 12? stock recovery works but isn't helpful. I've also had no luck with msmdownloadtool what can i do?
Since TWRP is not supported/works on A12. Your only option is to use MSM tool to get back. I would have suggested you try flash the stock boot.img from A12 you flashed, but that wont work since you tried the fastboot rom.
Had this before on my phone, and flashing the stock boot worked
