So summary
OOS 9
Magisk 19
Disabled I think is quickswitcher module
Now I just get animation going forever on booting, if I leave it long enough about 20 minutes or so, it reboots itself and goes back to loop.
TWRP is accessible.
I tried MM recovery tool in core only mode but still doesnt boot.
Ideally I need a solution that doesnt involve a factory reset.
Ok the core only mode didnt stick I think, so did it again and the phone is booted.
With no phone app , completely gone off the phone.
It shuts down after about 20 seconds after booting up.
Backing up what I can over USB from TWRP, and this might force me to migrate to my Oneplus 8 pro which has been sitting in its box, but I will still appreciate any input on how to get this running again without a reset so I can properly migrate app settings etc even if its losing magisk.
I managed to keep the phone bpoooted up for ages, and have done things like titanium backups, app setting backups etc.
I then tried to reinstall the phone app from the play store but got a vague "cannot install phone from google".
But at least now I can access settings etc. Take screenshots of settings also. So better baseline for the new phone.
Pretty crazy how all this broke so easily though.
So I dont know how this happened but I managed to recover the phone.
The xXx rom magisk module got wiped when I deactivated the recents module, this removed the google dialer framework and some build.prop changes the rom module puts on the phone.
I initially just added the framework magisk module which allowed the google phone app to reinstall, all my call logs were intact. But the phone was still unstable on booting so had to reinstall xXx which seems to have fixed that, albeit now with added lag.
But I have backed up everything now anyway so will migrate to my newer phone its long overdue, but this post is here now in case anyone else has the same issue.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini on stock rom, rooted. I was looking through Xposed for new possibly interesting modules. I installed one which said you can set volumes to have more than 15 points. So I installed it but I did not reboot yet figuring that I would do that later. I made all new backups of my apps and data using Titanium backup and then tried to reboot my phone but the reboot menu button would not work and the screenshot button at the top was blank yet functional. So I loaded up, or attempted to load up Wanam Xposed to check what was going on since that is what configures my rom and it said the app was not installed when I pressed on the shortcut.
So I rebooted the phone, entered the encryption password, it came up to the lock screen and from that point it would say my password did not match. I tried every password I have ever used, varying case and everything. No password worked. I had not manually changed it either. I had no choice but to factory reset the phone and format the SD card. Also I should mention that when I found out that wanam xposed was not seemingly installed any more, I attempted to install it and it would just say "App was not installed" or something. Then I installed Wanam Toolbox or something, I forget exactly now, but that installed and I rebooted and that's when I noticed my lock screen password was not working.
Any ideas on what the cause may have been and what things I could attempt to do if it ever happens again? I thought there was a thing where you can use your google account to unlock the phone but I could not get that thing to come up.
I installed GLtools and after completing, the screen stuck and it is always on (never sleeps or dims display). None of the buttons work. I waited till it used up all battery and then charged to 5% to turn on again. When I turn on, I see my launcher still the same (and the phone launcher desktopsetup pretty intact), but after a few seconds, screen stuck again, buttons not working again.
Is there a way to remove/uninstall GLtools through PC or whatever means to fix this?
Please help.
Did you flash it in stock recovery or TWRP?
Also next time you need to forcibly switch the phone off, do it by either holding the power button for 10secs, or all three button for 10secs (not sure which it is on the R9+), it's a lot quicker than trying to flatten the battery!

I did not flash anything. It was in stock rom. Is there still a way to fix this (remove GLtools)? Is the GLtools running in background that's why I was still able to unlock my phone and use my phone for a few secs before screen hang again?
EDIT:
I got it to work long enough to uninstall GLtools but there is this loading bar that appears even after I had removed GLtools,
http://i.imgur.com/dN4HaZW.jpg
Is this from the phone? or from my root app?
My phone screen still hungs now. I think it's not GLtools issue.
That bar is a ColorOS thing that it does while your system is updating.
Can you re-flash the stock ROM?

So I learned how to force close the phone from you (hold power button for 10 secs), then I turned it on normally, it worked fine as normal. I tried rooting with KingRoot and it rooted, tried to install Xposed Framework thru a method found in youtube because I don't have TWRP (method uses BusyBox Pro, Terminal Emulator to flash the zip). But Xposed modules download button don't download (button goes back to idle when I tap "download").
I also tried Lucky Patcher and other similar apps to convert or move user app to system app, after reboot, the converted app is gone (deleted). This bar also keeps appearing after I did this.
That bar keeps appearing and freezes the screen (whatever the screen is currently showing) both during and after the progress bar finishes. Tried to force close and turn it on again. Stuck on Oppo screen for 8+ hours (left it as is, I went to sleep). Decided to flash the stock rom (power + vol down) without wiping data. Worked and returned to normal desktop launcher setup but phone goes back to unrooted. Xposed Framework is gone too.
Is this bar meant to check if I am doing changes to the system like root, Xposed, converting user app to system app and prevent me from doing those? I really need those things on my phone! :crying:
the bar is just when ColorOS is updating itself or generally making changes. Presumably it doesn't like something you did.
I'd probably leave off GLTools and just go with KingRoot and Xposed. They both worked on my old R9. I think the latest version of the Xposed APK has the ability to install the framework itself, so maybe try that method?
ColorOS is heavily modified from stock android, so a lot of mods for it simply don't work, unfortunately.

why did the download button of Xposed not work when I tap on it? it does nothing for me.
Which Xposed should I get? I saw 2 APKs, a 3.0 and 3.1.1 alpha 4.
I was actually rebooting after I checked XMultiWindow module in Xposed when it got into bootloop
Get 3.11a4
I am running stock ROM and have bootloader unlocked and TWRP already installed. The phone was rooted without problems. I was getting an error from Super SU, so I looked up how to fix it online and the suggestion was to install an older version and then try to upgrade it. It was hard to find a zip from a legitimate source but once I found it, TWRP did not show the directory I was looking for (this was previously available when I rooted it). This is where I did something stupid and looked around in the settings and found the Slot A / Slot B option. I switched from B to A and the phone got stuck on the boot animation for several minutes after rebooting. I decided to reboot into TWRP and switched the slot back to B. This brought the phone back but WiFi is off by default and whenever I try to turn it on, it doesn't change.
I have seen a couple of other people mention similar issues about losing wifi after a root or changing the slot. What's the fix? I am wondering if there is anything else "broken" after the slot change and if I should do a factory reset (I would hate to do that as I was almost finished setting up this device). I have also received the error message saying "Process System isn't responding" in the settings menu a few times. It also seems like the finger print scanner isn't recognizing fingerprints any more and face unlock isn't working
One possibility is, that SuperSU isn't that compatible anymore. Magisk does a wonderful job and no problems so far. Maybe you should give it a try and switch from using SuperSU to Magisk.

I had the same issue when I first got my 6 when I was playing around with the slots. Also my original TWRP install for some reason would crash and reboot whenever I plugged in the data cable while in TWRP. I ended up flashing back to stock OOS 5.1.5 through fastboot (used the flash-all command) and then reinstalled TWRP and everything has been working great since then.

The instructions I followed already installed Magisk to the phone. I wanted Super SU because some of the other chainfire apps like Liveboot and rooted apps like Titanium backup said Super SU is needed (Titanium said Magisk will work but may not be reliable for some newer versions of the ROM). I can live without liveboot but really need Titanium to reliably transfer data from my older phone.
To be honest I didn't know they did the same thing (magisk and Super SU). I am curious now, what if I factory reset my phone and attempted to install Super SU instead of Magisk this time?
If I do a factory reset (let's say I want it just like it was out of the box and I format the data partition as well), will I need to root the phone again? I am asking because I don't know which part of the instructions I should ignore. I am sure TWRP will already be installed after the reset so I would only need to install the extra apps...
You don't have to format data. Just factory reset it. Then use "fastboot boot twrp.img", don't allow modifications, flash a kernel you want (if you want one - I really recommend ElementalX) and then the latest version of Magisk (16.4 BETA currently). Did so - all fine. And yes: Even Titanium Backup works without any issue with Magisk.
We had similar problems with TWRP on the Razer Phone when it was new. We solved the problem by using the TWRP boot image to flash the stock boot image and then flashing a TWRP zip. I just got the OnePlus 6 yesterday and haven't really messed with it yet but everything sounds the same to me so far.
I read more about TWRP and realized what I was doing wrong when the directory with zip files wasn't showing up. When TWRP showed up I was supposed type in my regular unlock password to decrypt storage. When I did that the folder I was looking for showed up. I made a backup through recovery (which took like an hour, may be because the external flash drive I attached was really slow - and the size of the backup was about 12GB). After that I installed the zip file for Super SU, just to see if it worked - it showed the installation was successful but the app was still missing from the app drawer. Now I wanted to factory reset the device and start over.
I went into wipe and there was nothing listed under the wipe screen. I went into Advanced wipe and wiped whatever was selected by default. The selected items were Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data. There was also "Internal Storage and USB Storage" that wasn't selected.
I swiped to wipe, it wiped everything. Then asked reboot, I rebooted, got a blank screen with white LED for a long time. When I plugged it into the computer it recognized the device as Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E (COM4). I rebooted it by holding Power + Volume Up + Volume Down. I tried to boot into boot loader next. This brought me to another blank screen. The computer still makes a noise when it reboots but screen stays black. The only message that shows up is the one saying boot loader is unlocked. Did I brick my phone? This keeps getting progressively worse.

OK good news! I tried one more time and fast boot showed up. I was able to get into recovery. I have the backup so I will try to restore that. I don't know what to do after that. I am thinking wiping without getting into advanced mode.

When your phone booted straight into that mode with black screen and the led, then you bricked it. Same happened to me 2 days ago. The solution was to use the Msmtool from another thread and it worked great. Just follow the guide. But it will wipe your device. And you have to install oxygenos manually via "local upgrade". If you have a question, just ask
What I ended up doing was restoring from the backup I had. This was the "bad backup" without WiFi and broken finger print and facial recognition. After the restore, I did a normal wipe (not advanced). This reset the phone to factory settings. Once I configured WiFi and signed into my Google account, Google offered to recover from a cloud backup of my One Plus - I didn't know Google made these backups. It downloaded all the apps automatically. I don't know yet if I have sign into all of them all over again.
The bad back up saved my ass, I wasn't even planning on making it. I was just testing the backup feature. That's why you should always do a backup, even if the device isn't in ideal configuration.

I rooted my phone with Magisk and installed the 5.1.6 via OTA (and reroot via installed Magisk Manager). So no need to install TWRP so far.
Titanium Backup runs flawlessly with Magisk (already on my OP 3T and my OP 5).
So give Magisk a try, I never had such an easy and reliable update as the one from 5.1.5 to 5.1.6
Helium is a great alternative to titanium.
this morning, my gps wasn’t working and i did a reboot, since then my phone won’t start anymore. originally: bootloader unlocked, twrp installed, magisk as well.
after typing in the security pin, it was stuck. i assumed there was some problem with that, so i went into twrp and deleted those lock settings files, reboot, now i’m at "phone is starting" after each reboot now and i can access settings and basic stuff, but no home or anything, and tapping on system update tells me that the app is not responding ("settings keeps stopping"). booting into twrp asks for a pin which does NOT work anymore (neither my original one, nor 0000 or default_password).
i used magisk uninstaller (sideloaded), and reflashed what i assumed was an OTA-zip from the oneplus website, so i’ve got stock recovery installed now (bootloader still open), but otherwise not much changed - after booting i can basically only access settings (from the quick settings bar), nothing else works.
i ASSUME it has got something to do with not being able to decrypt data anymore. i also assumed i can just reflash the 2gb-zip from oneplus and that would include a fresh system/boot img and deleting those lock files from twrp would remove decryption, but i guess i was wrong.
other that formatting data now .. any recommandations/suggestions? any help would be greatly appreciated. :/
could be stock launcher is frozen or disabled?
it did this to me, even if I had another launcher.

thanks for your guess - but, no, not disabled, i can see it in the list of apps. the only app "disabled" was the oneplus gallery, switched that back on, no effect ..

tried that, didn’t work. and even after a "factory reset", starting from the "hello!"-page from scratch, everything stopped on the next page ("just a sec ..") - so i guess there was something seriously wrong with my data partition. not sure why though.
after formatting data (and crying during those few seconds) it "worked" again, now, and fortunately i had some kind of app backup at least, but ..
yeahwell.

very strange
maybe the restricted. XML file was stuck
no point trying since you formatted
four hours later, fresh setup - it’s starting to happen again, sudden "hangs" and "phone is starting .." out of nowhere, then "system ui is not responding", force reboot, .. working right now, but there’s something really fishy and i’m starting to assume it’s a hardware thing.
I'm having the same issue after rebooting to fix gps/mobile data issues. Any other solutions?
I was messing around with substratum themes until I applied one that caused my display to act strange, and possibly the device itself, I cannot seem to boot into either recovery or bootloader modes, the boot animation seems to come on at random, adb doesn't work, and when I hold the power key I get the same Ui element issues (Moving up and down at random) but with stock android reboot, shut down, and lock down buttons. Is there anything I can do or did I brick my oneplus?.
If it helps any I'm on android Q 10.0.2 on a GM1917 with TWRP and Magisk.
turns out holding all the buttons landed me in recovery mode
I'm so lucky holy hecc
nevermind now my /SDCARD/ is empty
woooooooooooooo
I got twrp to view /sdcard/substratum by rebooting twrp, then flashed the rescue zip, and now i'm booted, this thread is now my story of fixing this issue of anyone has to fix theirs!
This is why I love OnePlus. It's like a continuation of the Nexus line. I've had to rescue my phone twice. Yesterday I got a crash dump. Would not boot. If tinkering with software is your thing, this is the phone to get.

As much as I enjoy having a phone that works I do love living on the edge
happened to me when I applied theme for system ui.
that's amazing how unstable oneplus7pro can be.
and there only one way to fix it which involves format.
even safe mode does not help.
no i fixed mine i flashed both rescue zips didn't work so i uninstalled substratum wiped data to all rebooted and reinstalled substratum and same themes went to substratum and they was there to uninstall if not goto data/data and delete themes heres pics of where they are and delete substratum folder kmanager whatever you have
I appear to have got myself into the same problem, and apparently I do not have twrp installed (it was before, but I guess I forgot to flash it again after OTA).
I am rooted but adb now says its device unauthorized and I have no way to authorize it.
How screwed am I? Is there some way I can connect to an external monitor or something? I dont have a recent backup and would lose about a months worth of stuff if I did a reset.
PS: OS loads but all i see is my background flashing. No way to enter pin or fingerprint. Phone also decided to remove usb debugging authorization after 10.3.3 update.
Could have just reflashed ROM in twrp also. Or factory reset which would uninstall all theme.apks
