I'm on the official build of LOS 14.1. I've tried flashing other ROMs on Nougat but i bootloop on every single one. I clean flash too. I make sure to wipe everything besides internal storage. I had an older version of TWRP . it was like version 2.8 or something but i just updated it to 3.2.1.0 and it still doesnt let me flash ROMs. I tried flashing Oreo based ROMs and it does the same thing. I've only been able to successfully run the official LOS 14.1, and CM 13.1 (havent tried 14.1). I've tried different variants of LOS on 14.1 and 15.1. Is there something that i'm missing? if it helps i found my old OPO and havent used it since january 2016. I decided to try out new ROMs but they're not booting. Any help? Thanks.
I have the GM1910 version of the OnePlus 7 Pro
Ok so I had a stock OOS 10.3 on the 7 Pro I just bought used, went home and was super excited to get a custom rom installed. From my previous experience back in the day, I knew to USB Debug, OEM unlock, Advanced Reboot for convenience and followed the Havoc Custom ROm guide that said to:
1. Download the ROM, TWRP Installer, GApps, Magisk.
2. Wipe Data, Dalvik.
3. Flash the ROM, TWRP Installer (Use Unofficial Q compatible version, starting at 3.3.1.575).
4. Reboot to Recovery.
5. Flash the ROM, TWRP Installer again.
6. Reboot to Recovery.
7. Flash GApps (Optional), Magisk (Optiona).
8. Reboot and Enjoy.
Never Wipe System or Vendor partition.
After doing so, I first ran into an issue with Fastboot Mode being indefinitely stuck, but fixed that with a TWRP 3.3.1-75 version I downloaded, and was able to boot TWRP. After that, and following the guide above, I noticed it was stuck on the Havoc boot animation. I waited a good 20 minutes before realizing its likely never going to boot. I rebooted twice after that, waiting 10 more minutes each for a total of about an hour, thinking "Hey maybe it takes time". Nothing. I then tried flashing NikGapps for Android Q compatibility as latest Gapps on the OpenGapps website allows up to Android 9. I realized afterward that it was a n00b mistake so I downloaded and flashed the Beta Android 10 Beta Pico OpenGapps and Magisk Canary that also failed.
After that, I started searching around for finding a way to return to stock Android 9 to start over, thinking Android 9 had more stable support, so I downloaded and fastboot flashed the Android 9.5..11 GM21AA - Direct Download, but while showing the OnePlus stock boot animation, it freezes and then the device turns off entirely.
I'm currently waiting for the 9.5.13 Repack (taken from the Collection of Unbrick Tools thread) to finish downloading to see if I can use MSM tool to restore stock Android 9 and kind of start over. I would prefer to root / custom rom Android 9. I have no clue what I'm doing now, but honestly recall it being so easy back in the day before this A/B partition stuff and I would have considered myself to be not so much a n00b, but at least quite "experienced" but I guess thats completely irrelevant now hey!. Can someone please guide me on how I can fix this and get a custom rom booting? Thank you very much!
Update: I managed to restore to Android 10 using the Decrypted Oxygen OS 10.3 ZIP from the "Collections of brick tools" linked above, then rooted that stock OOS using the standard guide. I got Havoc Android 9 working prior but ran into tons of bugs so I just decided to stick to stock for now.

Unless there is something specific you need with a custom ROM, I'd stay stock and root.
I have EdXposed installed and can tweak most things.
I really need ad blocking and some basic customization.
I don't need a full ROM to get what I want.

I would have agreed with you yesterday, but I've used the phone for a few days and cannot stand the insanely rounded corners so I tried finding a work around. So far reducing screen height and getting rid of Oxygen OS's software rounded corners is the way to go but stock OOS doesnt give you the option, I'm hoping a custom rom will. Currently in the midst of flashing RR Android 9
Which boot slot are you trying to flash the rom on and have you tried flashing other roms? I know I've tried flashing havoc a few times and no go. I'm using blissrom right now and it works great until I get the rom I'm building and configuring and have data and messaging working lol
Hi Everyone,
I have Samsung Galaxy SM-M105F and did these following things to install GSI Havoc Rom:
1.Installed TWRP from Surbiks(from M10 threads)
2.Installed Havoc Os 9.0 (Official) via TWRP but it said that encryption unsuccessful error.Tried factory reset. but still it won't work and it backed to encryption unsuccessful screen.
So i reverted to stock Android One UI 1.0 (AV-9.0)
But i want to install GSI like pixel exprience now on my phone because i dont like my stock firmware.
If i try to install this will it be like the same as before?
How to install it properly? It will be very helpful.
Is there a kernel for fake screens on GSI ROMs? (Android 9 or 10)
I tested the kernel oxygen, but it does not work, the device keeps rebooting.
I flashed Pixel Experience 13 GSI with no faults but unfortunately as it's still in pre-release it has some issues and bluetooth didn't work for me so I tried to flash the Android 12 PE GSI again but now for some reason won't boot to recovery, if I flash the Android 13 version again it works fine and so does any Android 13 GSI but Android 12 GSI's will only boot to recovery, there are no error messages during fastboot flash, any suggestions are appreciated and I can provide any logs needed just let me know what is required.
Just to clarify I was already running the android 12 version of Pixel Experience before this
Re-flash Stock ROM.
