Started to go down the Lineage 19.1 route. Despite the warning, I forgot to update firmware to 12, realized this halfway through the flash.
Thought no worries, I will just flash 18.1 again as I still have the files, but now I can't get into recovery. Any booting leads only to the crash dump screen
Is an MSM tool reset the only way?
Now I am pretty much an amateur when it comes to this stuff, but I want to think that I did a lineage19 upgrade on another device I didn't have to do a firmware upgrade.
I downloaded the files a while ago and I definitely read the instructions then, so I can only assume I forgot about the firmware update in the time since.
UPDATE EDIT 11/6: So now I can get into Recovery and have access to an older Lineage Recovery for 18.1 and TWRP but neither allows me to flash any of the Lineage 18.1 OTA files I had extracted from my phone, resulting in a Code:: kInstallDeviceOpenError.
Did I mess up the firmware by trying to install 19.1 without updating the firmware?
I am trying to preserve some files so don't want to wipe the phone completely if at all possible.

Try to boot the recovery file from bootloader mode with fastboot.

You can manually update your firmware and flash the ROM with fastboot.
This thread should have been started in the 8T Q&A forum.
Depending on what you've done, you can sometimes switch slots in bootloader and then boot recovery.
But as recommended by the other responses, reflashing in bootloader is also a good option.
If neither work, then the MSM Tool is the best option to get things going again.
The problem is I can't get into fastboot mode from the hardware buttons, it still results in crash dump screen. Trying to get into recovery the same way results in the same.

No fastboot means the only solution is the MSM Tool. You should feel lucky that you are not on the 10 Pro.
Can I use MSM tool to reflash lineage or is the only option a factory reset?
Not sure if there is any other way to access the data on the device.

I don't know any. Even the firehose readback feature of MSM Tool doesn't allow to backup the data partition.

You can't go straight to fastboot from Crash Dump mode.
You must first get out of Crash Dump using power + vol up (see https://community.oneplus.com/wap/thread/1316587) and then use the keys to get into fastboot.
If you wait too long after getting out of Crash Dump the phone tries to boot again and you'll end up back in CD.
I can get it to shut down using the volume up and power.
So starting from a completely shutdown phone, and holding Volume up and power to go to fast boot, results in crash dump.
Holding volume up and releasing power when the logo appears also results in a crash dump.
Lastly holding both Volume up and Power the entire time results in crash dump.
If there is another combination or I am doing something wrong, I am happy to try again.
Sadly I'm out of ideas.
Well I managed to get into fastboot. I had to hold all buttons down until it loaded.
So I was able to reinstall TWRP, thinking I could use the access to the root to reinstall OS 18.1 from the OTA folder. I just get errors Failed to Mount, 'system root' invalid and 'vendor.'
So now I cannot reinstall 18.1.
Trying to use Lineage Recovery it would not even start the install process.
So now I am not sure what I should try next

The first thing I would do is backup important data if you have any using adb from TWRP. Then you could factory reset with MSM Tool or try to flash LOS from fastboot.
Pictures and texts are the important files and to my knowledge TWRP doesn't back those up
I am trying to figure out what the failed install might have corrupted and what I can reflash.
Do I need to reflash dtbo and vbm?
Can I use the newer 19.1 recovery with older OS files?
None of the older 18.1 official build files seem to exist online anymore.
Did I somehow switch partitions, and how would I know this?

You can use adb to backup files in the internal sdcard while being in TWRP.
Regarding switching partitions, in the reboot menu of TWRP you can see which slot you have activate and switch it.
Does that include texts?
What slot should I be installing in?
I want to say active slot was A

For sure a backup of the data partition will include them but the problem is to be able to restore them afterwards. You can try to find a guide on the internet like this (although this one is old and may be outdated).

Today I tried to finally update to the latest version of crDroid, but ended up having a bunch of issues doing so, and after a lot of troubleshooting and trying to fix it, I ended up putting it into a bootloop of some sort instead.
I'm pretty sure the last thing I tried was installing a different version of TWRP to see if that version would let me properly install the rom, and stop my phone from always rebooting into recovery mode.
Trying to turn it on normally or boot into TWRP leaves it hanging on the "Redmi" boot screen, it can boot into fastboot mode though.
I'm guessing that the only way to recover my phone at this point is to flash the Official MIUI rom back onto the phone, but that also involves wiping Data and losing pretty much everything I've put on the phone.
I was smart enough to make a TWRP of the Data folder, but while making the backup, the console said it doesn't include all personal files or something.
How much of my personal data and files can I rescue from the phone in this state, and how can I do that before it gets wiped when fixing it?
Also, I think I really need some help in actually restoring my phone and flashing the custom rom properly.
No matter how much effort I put into figuring out how to do this stuff, unexpected issues always seem to happen, and turns something that initially seemed so simple into multiple hours of troubleshooting.
The only way I think i've gotten rom flashing to work at all was by wiping everything and installing the official MIUI rom, but I don't want to be losing my data every month when an update comes out.
So, could someone please help me get my phone working again?
Edit: I ended up fixing my own issue by ADB flashing on a different release of TWRP, and then installing fcrypt disabler after the rom but before everything else.

Unfortunately, I can't.
Trying to boot into TWRP just gets stuck on the 'Redmi' boot logo.
I just remembered that you can install TWRP over ADB, and that Peter's one says it works even when the system partition is empty, so maybe the issue is the TWRP I installed and could possibly undo this part of the issue over ADB.
It won't fix the issue preventing my from updating my rom, but recovery only is still better than a soft brick.
Edit: That worked, i've put Peter's TWRP back on, and it's launching into recovery mode/TWRP again now
twrp not boot after successfully flash in this rom

first click on extract a fastboot rom and copy boot system and vender file with flash.all bat file and make a new folder then click on flash.bat save user data file to flash these images
or you can do this manually

In the end, I did try orangefox, and it might have been part of why it worked.
However, the crDroid installation instructions specifically mentions using Peter's TWRP, so I initially used that one.

If you can access fastboot, then flash TWRP.... Enter recovery, wipe your system partitions and then flash the Stock MIUI ROM or use the MiFlash tool. Make sure you aren't flashing an older version of the ROM than the onle already installed.

I have the same problem that stated after installing the update for derpfest and I can boot into twrp. Any solution for me?
Hi, as the title explains I can flash and boot into lineage os but when I try to flash a stock OxygenOS signed flashable zip from this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3792244)
and when I boot to system, the screen doesn't show a boot logo, it just goes black for a few seconds before rebooting back to twrp (also if it helps, when it goes to twrp all the files are gibberish, I have to shut off the phone and boot into it from fastboot or I can't see any files).
This all started because I misunderstood the instructions and tried to flash an ota package which then broke the system, it's working now but I'd much rather use OOS as Lineage is missing a lot of the features I'm used to on Oxygen.
I've also tried the "flash-all-partitins-fastboot" from https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665 but unfortunately that gave the same issue, it just went back to recovery and wouldn't load OOS.
If anyone has any ideas on how to get back to oxygen that'd be super helpful! I'm considering using the MSM tool but I'd rather not have to start from scratch and lose all my files.
I'm just guessing, but there might be something wrong with your TWRP, did you try re-flashing it?

I should've clarified in the post, I mean all the files are gibberish (as in not decrypted I think?) but when I
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
it works fine and I can see all the files.
I've probably tried flashing it 4 times through twrp but every time it just does the same thing, boot to system just shows a black screen for a few seconds then reboots to twrp.
I'd love to use blu_spark like everyone recommends but I can't find the blu_spark recovery for the op6, only their kernel.
The reason why it's gibberish is because your device is encrypted and you need to input the password in the twrp to be able to access it. Seems the twrp doesn't detect the encryption correctly so there might be something wrong with it.
Here is the bluespark twrp https://github.com/engstk/android_device_oneplus_enchilada/releases

I just tried with blu_spark and the same thing happens but I realised something else, twrp only doesn't work on slot A.
If I see that it didn't decrypt the files, I can set B to active, reboot to recovery, and it works perfectly.
I noticed after one of the failed boots it switched the active slot to B even though I had set it to A before flashing. So every time it doesn't show the logo or anything, it sets the active slot from A to B and reboots to recovery.
Also I just looked and from the Backup page, it shows 2.7 GB for system on slot A and 1.7GB on slot B so I'm going to try wiping both and reflashing the flashable signed zip on each then twrp.
UPDATE: Just did that and the twrp installer was giving an error saying unsupported android version so I looked and system is only 4MB after flashing that package (OnePlus6Oxgygen_22_OTA_034_all_...zip), I'm trying an older one (...OTA_026...zip) to see if that actually works.
So I tried with the older one and lineage and they both still left the system partition at 4MB and the blu_spark twrp installer isn't detecting an android version. The system image partition is at 2.6GB if that means anything.
Oh wait more update, I'm dumb and shut off the phone while taking the case off (got stuck and it was pushing the power button) and even though the twrp installer couldn't detect anything and twrp said No OS installed when trying to boot to system, lineage just started up, no problem. I am very confused I miss when there was one system partition.
How are you flashing the OS?

I'm using twrp, blu_spark and normal, and both have the same result. They can flash lineage and it runs fine, but oxygen refuses to boot and just switches the active slot and goes to recovery instead.
I also tried the fastboot rom flashing thing from the thread I linked to in the OP and it's the same thing, just goes back to recovery and wont boot.
P.S. I'm currently copying over /sdcard to an external drive and if I can't figure out how to fix this by the time that's done, I'll just use MsmDownloadTool and start over.
And you are wiping each time before flashing it, right? If it is the case then the download tool is probably the easiest way to go about it, rather than spending days troubleshooting it.

I've tried it with and without wiping and it always seems to do the same thing either way, works with LOS not with OOS. Thanks for the help! but yeah I think I'm just going to end up using the download tool once everything's over.
Hey,
Quick rundown: Stuck in a bootloop to some sort of empty bootloader screen which has the readout:
"Start/Restart Bootloader/Recovery Mode/Power Off"
"Press volume key to select, and press power key to select"[Regarding above options]
"FastBoot Mode
PRODUCT_NAME - sdm845
VARIANT - SDM UFS
BOOTLOADER VERSION -
BASEBAND VERSION -
SERIAL NUMBER - [Gonna leave this out for now]
SECURE BOOT - yes
DEVICE STATE - unlocked" [this line is in red]
Every choice besides Power Off returns me to the same window. What can I do to recover from this?
Background:
So I was trying to update my OP6 to the current OxygenOS while keeping my root using TWRP and Magisk, which I've done in the past without any issue(i.e. go in recovery flash OS, flash current TWRP, reboot back to recovery, flash current Magisk as I understand it). However this time I was running into an issue flashing the Oxygen update getting an error that said it "failed to map file" for the zip. My first instinct was to update TWRP to see if the newest version didn't run into this issue so I flashed that followed by the current Magisk(no reboot in between). After booting back to standard operations everything seemed fine. I went back into recovery and tried the OS update again, but hit the same issue.
I couldn't find anything specific to OP6 with this issue, but similar questions with other devices suggested clearing the dalvik cache, which I tried to no useful effect. Then I came across this thread (forums.oneplus.com/threads/oxygen-os3-i-have-a-problem-please-help.440587/page-2 too new to hyperlink) and did what I think really messed me up which was boldly follow this guy's advice to do an advanced wipe of everything but internal storage(I also left USB storage intact) from TWRP. This failed to fix the issue with the file mapping error when I subsequently tried to flash the update, though I was able to flash TWRP and Magisk successfully again before rebooting and ending up in this loop.
Any assistance in fixing this or general tips on how to not be foolish when messing around with this stuff is greatly appreciated.
Update:
So I followed the advice gleaned from the resourceful person here(https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/help/bootloader-baseband-versions-blank-t3927565) to try working with the device from my computer with fastboot. At first it would recognize the device as "Android" but be unable to find a driver for it and adb/fastboot both failed to recognize it as a device. After installing MiniTool(more as a way to backup what was on the SD card) the proper device driver also got installed and I was able to access it with fastboot; I ran into similar issues as the linked thread above, solved it by switching to b(still failed) then back to a.
Currently I've got it booted into TWRP and I'm working on getting the current Oxygen .zip copied onto the phone storage but the transfer keeps failing after moving a negligible amount.
Update 2:
Via TWRP was able to sideload the current up-to-date standard OS onto it, however my Google backup seems to have decided to disappear on me and the only OP backup I have is ages old. Anyone have recommendations on data recovery tools?
next time just dont change the build.prop file.
serious, it just breaks the system.
heppened to me too.

Good to know, thanks for the info!
I assume that happened when I messed around with advanced wipe, do you know which of the folders I selected that would have been under? And just for future awareness, would that have not occurred had I just used TWRP's standard wipe instead?
You can run a program that will install 9.0.6 from scratch, running a batch file...
Save my life before yesterday....
Your device is bricked
If able to access the TWRP recovery then boot into twrp and try to get all the data stored in your computer.
Then use the Qualcomm flash tool to completely recover from your hard bricked OP6.
from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/op6-collection-unbrick-tools-t3914109
Then its easy, again unlock boot-loader flash TWRP and magisk.
Hello!
I wanted to update my oneplus 8 from 11.0.4.4 to newest version. OTA was not working idk why. I had magisk in place and I patched magisk to second partition or something like that [I dont remember how it was called] - I'm sure this is the reason of the problems. I turned off devices and wanted to boot into recovery, but suddenly it boot into Qualcomm crash dump mode with message: Attempted to kill init! exitcode: 0x00007f00 do_exit - that's all. I can't boot the system, I can;t boot into recover, I flashed patched boot, I flashed recovery - none of these works. Fastboot is present and recognized by PC.
First question can I do some backup through fastboot? To be honest I was not prepared for such problems. APKs are not even such a problem I care more about photos, documents and other data.
Can I flash some rom and restore phone back to life without wiping my personal data?
Maybe an idea would be to load TWRP recovery and then do backup, but how to boot into recovery when even after flashing recovery or booting via fastboot it enters in qualcoom crash dump mode. Something must be corrupted, but is it possible to fix some partition just in order to flash recovery to do backup of the files?
Please can you help me? I tried with some tutorials, but no success...
What did you try doing if OTA wasn't working?
You won't be able to use TWRP since you're on Android 11.
Okay I managed to get back to normal - since like I mentioned i patched the magisk into second slot, then probably this corrupted something. What has helped me is this: fastboot --set-active=b
It was not working via powershell I had to launch CMD and then it worked I switched slot to "b" and phone booted normally.
Regarding OTA I have no idea what has happened. The only things I have done is magisk with modules like xXx No Limits and YTB Vanced. To be honest nothing more. I'm at Oxygen OS 11.0.4.4.IN21AA with bootloader unlocked. What would you suggest to do in order to update to newest version?
I would disable the magisk modules first in case that is what caused problems. Then do a local upgrade using the full OTA zip. Then install magisk to the inactive partition. I think that would work, but I'm not sure if a messed up A partition might affect the installation. I don't think so, but I haven't read anything about it. After, you can try re-enabling the magisk modules.
I turned off all the modules obviously and still OTA is not working via the oneplus updater. It does not see the zip rom even though it's in the main directory. I don't know what is wrong...
Oh, that's strange. I don't know how to recover from there. If it were me, I would just backup my files and MSM, but that's a lot of work.
Did you check the obvious things for the zip file like making sure it ends in the right extension? Sometimes if you download it from OnePlus, it has a jar extension instead of zip.

Lol yes you're right it was jar. Now the updater sees the zip file, but I'm afraid to update because I'm not sure if the phone won't brick or bootloop. What do you think?
I think it should be fine. I think the only thing that got messed up was the boot partition on the A slot and that will get overwritten with the OTA.
How about the root and magisk?
Okay I updated and it's working fine. I'm on 11.0.7.7 but now magisk is not working, how to get it back?

Okay I managed to get back to normal - since like I mentioned i patched the magisk into second slot, then probably this corrupted something. What has helped me is this: fastboot --set-active=b
It was not working via powershell I had to launch CMD and then it worked I switched slot to "b" and phone booted normally.
Regarding OTA I have no idea what has happened. The only things I have done is magisk with modules like xXx No Limits and YTB Vanced. To be honest nothing more. I'm at Oxygen OS 11.0.4.4.IN21AA with bootloader unlocked. What would you suggest to do in order to update to newest version?

Any idea if it's possible to do something similar to rooted OP6?
I have a similar situation where I tried to update magisk and ended up with a bricked device.
I can reboot to fasboot, but I can't boot to recovery or flash anything through some pc flashing apps.
I'm very new to everything related to rooting and I think I screwed up, I'm not even sure if this is what a bootloop is.
My device won't boot back into android, I've tried to look for a solution but I don't understand any of the terms those people use.
I followed a tutorial to help me root my phone which I think might have worked but now I can't do anything.
I installed the latest twrp .zip on my phone and elementalX (I think I downloaded it for android 10 instead of 11), I tried a couple of commands in the terminal suggested by other people but none of them did anything.
I really want my phone back, even if that means that it won't be rooted, I made a backup of my data so all that matters to me is that I can use my phone again.
If you know anything that can help me, please try to explain it in a way I might understand as I don't even really know what flashing means.

Can you boot into fastboot then toggle the volume key to recovery , does it go to twrp or something else?

Good then try the below steps
This sequence has worked for me every time
1. Reboot twrp/lineage recovery, format data. Reboot bootloader
2. Fastboot boot into TWRP FBEv2
3. Sideload official TWRP 3.5.2.9-0 installer (found on TWRP website). Reboot recovery
4. Copy OOS 11.zip to internal storage. Or OTG drive,, Flash OOS 11.zip. Reboot recovery again
5. Format data in OOS stock recovery & Reboot
6. After boot into OOS 11, just local upgrade rom .zip again, you will have OOS in both slots
