Unsure if this is the place since its also related to TWRP 3.7, any help is appreicated
Got stuck in a weird situation and wondering if anyone has ideas.
Current State:
Slot_A on OOS 11, can boot TWRP via Fastboot
Slot_B on OOS 12, can only boot into Fastboot
Originally on OOS 11, booted TWRP and made backups of all partitions (data, boot, system image, vendor image, etc.). Forgot to move this to computer so this is all still stored on device.
Proceeded with OOS 12 upgrade (into Slot B). Patched magisk, rebooted, then flashed TWRP 3.7 (FBEv1), direct installed magisk, rebooted. - Everything was functional, but decided to go back to OOS 11.
Thinking I could just use the TWRP backup made on OOS 11, I did the following:
Booted into 3.7 TWRP
Restored the backup for boot, system image, and vendor image
Set active slot to Slot A and reboot
It doesn't allow me to boot into the OS (Presumably because the data was re-encrypted for OOS 12?)
Set active-slot=b and reboot, but it's locked to fastboot.
I've attempted a few things, but I can't boot back into OOS. I would prefer to retrieve my TWRP backups first before doing an MSM reset.
When on Slot_A (older), I can only boot into TWRP 3.6.2 and 3.7. I'm guessing 3.6.2 can't decrypt since it's only configured for A11 and under, but not sure why 3.7 can't decrypt my data.
- It doesn't even ask for pin when TWRP launches; maybe it's reading the System for Slot_A and thinks i'm still on A11?
- running `twrp decrypt {pin}` doesn't seem to work. Unsure if there's something done to my lockscreen pin to be used as the encryption key/password?
When on Slot_A, attempting to boot into either the system or TWRP hangs.
Things I've tried:
Flashing A11 boot.img and magisk-patched boot.img to Slot_A -> Hangs on 1+ Spinning dots
Flashing A12 boot.img and magisk-patched boot.img to Slot_B -> Hangs on 1+ logo (Does show up on ADB though)
Booting Slot_B into TWRP 3.6.2 (Official, and Nebrassy unofficial for A12) and TWRP 3.7 -> Gets stuck on "Fastboot Mode" screen (fastboot cli still responds) or Hangs on snapdragon logo
Edit: Ended up using MSM. Needed device for work
I have a similiar problem to flash twrp to my phone ,
each time i try i get a fastboot loop too and i have to reset/unbrick it with the msm tool back to android 11
i use the OnePlus_7_Pro_Global_OxygenOS_11.0.5.1 package to unbrick the phone , i dont know how long and often i tried now to get twrp to work so that i can flash a custom fw ... i want root and a android 13 based cfw but i dont get it to work :/
I got it working with crdroid. heres some stuff
guacamole - Google Drive
drive.google.com
be carefull
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
------------------------------------
I got stable and decrypted fs RW working on crdroid 9.1 firmware other than some weird bugs
i put it in the 2023-twrp

I have the exact same problem! Have you found a fix yet? This seems to happen when I try to install Android 13 based roms, and when I install a rom like Lineage OS, using their recovery, it works just fine.
No, and I don't know why, maybe i do something wrong or it is the Modell that make this trouble.
I thinking to sell my OP7PRO and buy another one ( and then I have the same problem with the new phone )
No no let the jokes aside, it must work, i mailed with OnePlus Support Germany but they only helped me to install A11 w/root and recovery, i thought ok now I can update to A13 so I loaded A13, unpacked the boot.img, Patched the boot.img
Installed A13 w/out errors, rebooted - Fastboot loop
RIP
Started ranting instead
TWRP for guacamole development seems to be fairly scarce, last working recovery I tried was when they started using fastboot boot to enter it. It was pretty hacky even then, currently it seems that nebrassy is the maintainer for twrp for guacamole.
Github: https://github.com/nebrassy Android 12 thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-12-official-teamwin-recovery-project.4269551/ Nebrassys Telegram has helpful info as well: https://t.me/NSSFB
last update I found was 2022:10:2 - https://www.pling.com/s/Phones/p/1835156
after a few days of torture I read a thread on here saying if you flashed twrp via magisk like you would if it was a magisk moule it would work normally. It worked on my device so I assume that its universal. I have filled my computer with guacamole related files Im uploading here before im forced to reinstall my os:
guacamole - Google Drive
drive.google.com
Just a fyi from what I have gathered from my experience you can get a stable twrp recovery with persistant / read write access and disabled encryption and basically use it with little error up until you try flashing a newer custom rom. My guess is when flashing a cfw the bootloader gets rewritten causing our boot image to become corrupted. Flashing twrp over / booting to twrp via fastboot or trying to install it via another custom recovery causes boot / recovery failures... meaning you cant really use it for flashing custom roms. I cant find the post with the install instructions I seen that helped me so here is what I think it was,
Found it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-make-twrp-work-in-your-stock-a12.4522667/#post-87985325

lastly be mindful of a/b partition configuration or youll find yourself lost or bricked
Installation:
1. Obviously unlock the bootloader - OEM Unlock
2. Flash custom recovery (lineage/crdroid/etc)
3. (Personally I root here and again on the active slot so) flash magisk.zip
4. Reboot into installed ROM and install magisk android app and complete setup, reboot system
5. (another thing I like to do before flashing twrp) setup magisk enable all the basic options like prophide, deny list then set root userspace option to global.
6. Flash TWRP .zip (https://dl.twrp.me/guacamolev2/twrp-installer-3.7.0_12-0-guacamolev2.zip) via magisk
Alright! After all that you should be able to reboot into recovery via adb reboot recovery / fastboot or power menu and you find a working twrp recovery installed.
If you need help or want to **** around with the device you can @ me anytime and ill do my best to halp

You Confussing me a lot with your Posts before ...
i´m unsure what you mean exactly,
my bootloader is unlocked, with magisk i got a working root but after that i fail
what you mean with flash twrp with magisk ?
after unlocking the bootloader and get root, i tryd to flash twrp like before on other devices but that seems not working because i get then the fastboot loop
on another thread i found here on xda too, the guy wrote dont forget to activate the fastboot loop fix in the advanced options
but i not tried it yet again , so what should i do now ?
for now , i´m back on android11 , with stock oxygen os firmware
i have to do now the things like i did before again , unpack boot.img from the firmware that is installed on the device
patch it with magisk, flash it with "fastboot flash boot boot-patched.img" or is this step senseless ?
i mean you only wrote unlock bootloader and flash a cfw , but i don´t have a chance to flash a custom fw without a custom recovery ??
my recovery on my op7pro have no options for "install zip" or something else
addendum:
like i said you confused me a lot
addendum two:
or i do what i said before .. i sell my op7pro and buy me a one where i havent so much trouble installing twrp and root
i never had a phone before that made so much trouble in installing simple twrp ...
but i don´t found a phone yet that is compatible with kali and the pentest tools or wardriving tools like the oneplus , so i have a problem ,... i think i should drink now my selfmade blackberry liquor ( or blackberry booze ? ) and let the smartphone be a smartphone for now and power off my brain for a while
Yes, you need to patch your boot image via magisk and flash it with fastboot.
After you let magisk do its first time setup and then once it reboots you go to Magisk > Modules and flash the twrp recovery .zip file you got from twrp. link:https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplus7pro.html just like you would if it was a magisk module.
the password for twrp decryption is your pin. Here are simpler instructions
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-make-twrp-work-in-your-stock-a12.4522667/#post-87985325
****... I forgot a step.
after flashing twrp as a module in magisk you dont reboot, you go back to the main screen hit the install button and choose direct install
Now I understand it more, i had before rooted the phone successful with magisk, but then I made a wrong decision and booted into Fastboot and flashed TWRP in Fastboot Mode as I did it before with all my Smarties i had before, coz those way with Fastboot worked before all the time so I never thought that this is the error in the procedure
I give the twrp flashing with magisk a try.
Thx for the help

Hello everyone,
As I mentioned in the title, since I upgraded to Android 10, can't boot to recovery.
Dowloaded latest version of the Adb kit, and while issuing
adb reboot recovery
the phone reboots but goes to normal boot.
Tried manually (power + vol down etc.) and when choosing Recovery - same thing happens.
Needless to say that my laptop is authorized debug device and phone is in debug mode etc. - I have done this many times before Android 10 update.
All I try to do is to sideload the latest OTA as I did many times before because my phone is rooted and the updates do not install automatically.
Pixel (First generation)
Rooted with Magisk
Bootloader unlocked
Stock recovery (using TWRP without installing it when flashing Magisk)
Hope somebody can advise. Obviously there is something new in Android 10 which has to be set (like the need for debugging authorization for example, which I already did).
Thank you
John
Im getting a similar problem. I get stuck on th Google logo screen. I cant hard-reset, recovery mode or boot, the only things that works is th barcode.
Android 10 changed something in the ramdisk that you can't install TWRP directly on the phone. You have to boot it via PC using "fastboot boot <insert twrp image name>.img"
You can try installing twrp to ramdisk. Put twrp 3.3.1-0.img in your devices storage and then fastboot twrp 3.3.0-0 (disable pin etc first) then once it's booted go to advanced and select install to ramdisk and select the 3.3.1-0.img and it should install it. You may get a not enough storage error on 10/Q (I did) bit worth a punt. Make a back up first as usual, if no good flash a fresh factory.img and see if that cures it and then restore your apps/data etcfrom your Google back up (if you use it)
Good luck

Thank you for the advice, however as I mentioned in my original post I don't want to install TWRP permanently , and the problem is that I cannot go to the stock recovery mode which has no connection to TWRP. There is something with Android 10 which changed since 9 and I'm interested to find what. Everything worked fine before the upgrade.
Also, the option to flash factory image and restore (I also have Titanium in addition to Google backup) is a too much of a hassle. I use this phone for real, not only to play with it.
Anyway, again thank you for your input.
John
Sorry mate, re read your OP. I just tried booting into the aosp recovery and got the same issue! My guess is its magisk as I could boot into the aosp recovery prior to installing it. Re flash or restore the previous boot.img or a stock boot.img and it should boot into aosp recovery again. Magisk must be installing to or patching the aosp recovery ramdisk and stopping it booting. Other than that just fastboot twrp and use that.
Edit: it's magisk, restored original images and it booted into aosp recovery first try.
I've had no problems installing TWRP 3.3.0.0 normally after using an *.img file to get TWRP started. EDIT: and booting into it.

You are right. I did open Magisk and from the uninstall options choosed "Restore images" (no need to do complete uninstall, which is the other option). After that I was able to boot in recovery etc. I guess this is what you meant in your PS. At the end re-flashed Magisk and all is back to normal.
I will alert the Magisk team about the issue (if they are not already aware).
Case closed.
Thanks again.

Please read my OP. I was clear that I DON'T want to install TWRP permanently and this was never the problem.
The problem is solved (kind of). See the other posts.

It is a mess. It works with Pixel (I have this one and can confirm) and supposedly Pixel 2. It won't work for brand new phones arriving with factory installed Android 10.
Read the following:
https://twrp.me/site/update/2019/10/23/twrp-and-android-10.html#
After that, if you want to try, go to the page below to find instructions for your device. Note that the list is by manufacturer, so if you are looking for Pixel, it is under Google.
https://twrp.me/Devices/
Just in case - backup and have the factory image for your phone handy in case something goes wrong. For google phones you can download the image and see instructions here:
https://developers.google.com/android/images
Note that I never installed TWRP permanently, so I can't say if the permanent installation will work (I think it should, but not sure). Typically I just load TWRP and use it to flash pakages, but at the end I'm keeping the stock recovery.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Thanks. Yea from what I can tell no one has had luck actually installing it on the Pixel with Android 10 yet. I'm familiar with how to fix everything if something goes wrong. I would try but others have already tried and failed. It won't install for them.
firstly, dont use whatever ****ty platform-tools you are using, get them from here.
secondly, you dont install recovery on android 10 yet, it doenst work. you have to just boot to twrp using `fastboot boot twrp.img` once you are in bootloader mode.
Hello guys!
The story began, when I accidently installed a stock OTS update by OP onto my already rooted OP6 with Magsik and TWRP, running a NoLimits ROM...
I just noticed, that the phone said "restart to finish OTS upgrade" or some kind of thing..... I always had the notification on my screen that an update would be available....what surely was ignored because running NoLimits ROM.... but because of some unknown reason, the stock update installed itself magically...
So I ended up finding my phone in complete stock condition, just the unlocked bootloader remained..... F*CK!
I tried to go back to root by trying to install TWRP via fastboot...and that was the beginnig of the end...
By fastboot boot twrp.img, the phone just remained in fastboot mode..... no twrp screen showed up... repeated this a few times, nothing changed....
Somewhere here I read to look up the current slot.... so I did fastboot getvar current-slot.... and after slot b was shown, I flashed twrp into slot b by fastboot flash boot_b twrp.img..... which had the phone stuck in screen "the bootloader is unlocked.....".... so i think that's what is called a BRICK...?
Please guys, help me out...as I don't know how to go on.... I also tried to flash stock boot img from here via fastboot, what didn't work either....
Would be glad for any suggestions...
Thanks!

i remember that NoLIMIT rom mustbe uninstall before update the oos.In your case i think it was bootloop,softbrick.You boot into fastboob mood and use fastboot rom. and you can root and instant TWRP again.

Hello!
Nothing is working at the moment, just fastboot... not recovery mode, no booting into the OTS...
Tried to use MSM tool but it can't even find the right port....at first, I had COM3 and COM4 showing up, but only N/A....
Now i uninstalled the qualcom drivers as suggested in an unbrick thread of the OP 5T, but that made every port disappear in the MSM tool list.... I'm f*cked I guess...
How can I fix that driver mess again? (driver signing is disabled in bios, testmode is available an working on my pc)

The method of @mauronofrio worked!!! Thanks a lot!
But I still can't boot twrp on the phone....if I do so, the phone boots into fastboot mode again and freezes at "1+ logo" with "Fastboot Mode" below it..... same like before? The device is fully wiped now...
So how can I get TWRP working again...??
I also tried fastboot flash recovery twrp.img -> no such partition..... don't know why it worked the first time I did it, root and custom ROM without any issues...

I downloaded latest twrp-3-3-1.2 (I think) for my OP6, copied the belonging .zip file to my phone... started cmd as admin, typed fastboot devices....the device showed up, then fastboot boot twrp...........img.....enter, and afterwards the "1+" logo showed up, below it read Fastboot Mode...and nothing ever happened... till i switched the phone off again after 10 minutes...
Wrong version you think?
Thanks,

If you are on Android 10 try to download last version from Mauronofrio or last from Blu-Spark (V9.109). I use blu_spark with OOS 10.3.3
Sometimes the command for being able to boot in recovery from Fastboot is:
Fastboot flash boot "nameofTWRPimage".img
Flash a patched boot image of your rom via fastboot and than flash twrp installer through magisk manager. Done.

TWRP update - no boot into system
Hello guys....it's me again!
After getting everything working again because of the tremendous help of this forum, i tried to update my twrp recovery via twrp by installing the twrp zip-file...
Afterwards, i tried to upgrade my rom from NoLimits 11.2 to 11.5 - but the phone didn't boot afterwards....i've always ended up in the recovery menue....
I then changed slots (from b to a) in the recovery, and then, the phone booted again....but into the stock ROM...
I can't change slots again now and have stock rom in slot a as it seams.... how can i change that again? how can i flash the custom rom in the right slot again?
Thanks in advance!

It's OK. That's the point of having 2 slots system. Be able to recover the other partition if something goes wrong.
So now... Do you have TWRP or stock recovery?
You can dirty flash stock on the inactive Slot.
I would install stock rom in inactive slot through Local Update un System updater, don't reboot, install TWRP retention script in Magisk Manager (of course only if you have a proper TWRP running, if not avoid this step), don't reboot, install magisk to inactive Slot (through Magisk Manager), reboot.
After that you Will have stock on both partitions. You can try again the XXX Update.

I think TWRP is working, nur on slot B - the question is: how come that i Installed TWRP Update via TWRP Recovery, was able to reboot Ingo recovery, and after Flash of the ROM via TWRP, only TWRP Recovery was left... No bootable ROM, so i tried Slot A and that was Stock Rom...
How can i install stock ROM into Slot B if Slot A is currently 'running'?

I think TWRP is working, nur on slot B - the question is: how come that i Installed TWRP Update via TWRP Recovery, was able to reboot Ingo recovery, and after Flash of the ROM via TWRP, only TWRP Recovery was left... No bootable ROM, so i tried Slot A and that was Stock Rom...
How can i install stock ROM into Slot B if Slot A is currently 'running'?

Since Oxygen Os Updater > Local Upgrade.
Download 10.3.4 OOS and put in your internal Storage. Then follow procedure i wrote before

NOTE: don't reboot until you install Magisk to inactive Slot, and of course, as you're rooted must download Full Zip (not incremental)

I downloaded Oxygen Updater, also OOS 10.3.4, but in my system stettings, update button is greyed out.... with the nolimits ROM before, I once had issues that the OEM update got installed...so that led to my problem which made me open up this thread in the first place.... so i disabled system update via titanium backup when I had root access...
So now it's greyed out...but as it is the stock rom, it shouldn't be greyed out as titanium backup doesn't work at the moment, without root...
Should i flash via @mauronofrio's method and fully wipe the device?... would be a pain in the a.. as everything gets erased again, setting up from scratch 2 times within 3 weeks

Would it be possible to install magisk without twrp, and then flash the NoLimits ROM via Magisk?
TWRP recovery must be there....only in slot B - i tried to change slot by fastboot --set-active=..... but it didn't work, unknown command

I think there's some thread in Guides and News in which OP uploads some patched boot.img le something like that to have root but i never tried.
Hi!
I have a poco f2 pro that was on the xiaomi.eu MIUI weekly.
Yesterday I installed a module for Magisk and got into a bootloop. From now everything's fine I usually know how to deal with this kind of stuff.
The mistake I did, is when I tried to boot into a new TWRP after flashing.
I did
Code:
fastboot flash boot ./twrp_xxx.img
instead of
Code:
fastboot flash recovery ./twrp_xxx.img
I tried many times flashing different boot.img without success, I didn't managed to install "magisk manager for recovery" so I did a clean flash of the rom, and then I even tried downloading the stock global from from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/ and did a "flashall" without success (the phone boots on bootloader/recovery).
Fortunately I havent yet locked the bootloader so I can still flash everything.
Can someone help me figure out why my phone is doing this even after flashing everything please?
Did you try with Miflash?
try with MiFlash. Flash stock rom in fastboot mode
Hi! Thak you for the quick answer
I don't know why but I believed that the only thing miflash do is to execute the scripts from the folder.... I'll try this now

Before MiFlash try delete the Magisk module causing the bootloop, use TWRP File Manager. Magisk modules are located in /data/adb/modules

Well that the thing I tried when I accidentally replaced my boot partition... And my phone was only booting on twrp or fastboot... also the weird thing I found is that /data/adb didn't exist
But many thanks to you all it works now.
I'll maybe try to make a guide on how to install Magisk on the Xiaomi EU weekly rom, as android 11 is only supported by the canary build. (if I manage to find a way to properly remove defective modules in TWRP :fingers-crossed
Boot twrp via Fastboot. Download Rom, Install ROM (xiaomi.eu). This should fix ist already. Then you could test a bit, and eventually need to wipe data

That was the first thing I tried, but only miflash managed to bring my phone back to life , as current twrp doesn't like encrypted data partition (I don't know why but it won't mount /data and it says wrong password)
I think that's why I couldn't remove the defective module
If you want everything to work you need to format data!!
Thats the point why using android 11 roms is hard, twrp cant decrypt it (until you flash rom with a10 and then a11 because partition is encrypted in a10 style)

That's easy to fix, you installed Android 11 or? Don't use pin, use gesture. Twrp can't decrypt android 11 pin right now

NO flash only fastboot boot twrp.img
So i tried updating my phone and rerooting but as soon as i flashed the patched image something got corrupted and its only been pain now for the last few hours. Ive been super irresponsible in not backing up my phone away from the phone so I would rather not lose everything by flashing the factory image so anything and everything helps. for context it booted into 11 fine but as soon as I touched fastboot and the latest .img files is when stuff started going south.
edit: fixed the issue another way but an answer for that question would be nice to finally have on the internet.
I'm not very clear about what you did... The regular Magisk OTA process is:
1. Uninstall Magisk.
2. Install the OTA (do not reboot).
3. Install Magisk (after OTA).
The more involved process I've used (when the Magisk backup isn't valid) is:
1. Fastboot flash the vanilla boot.
2. Fastboot boot the patched boot.
3. Install the OTA (do not reboot).
4. Install Magisk (after OTA).
If you are doing a fastboot flash or boot you need to make sure the image you are using exactly matches your system. Which is especially important for the initial install. If you boot the wrong image, rebooting will fix it. If you flash the wrong image you have to flash the right image to fix it. That's why Magisk install has you fastboot boot and install from Magisk manager, less chance of a permanent issue
If you were going from Android 10 to 11 with Magisk 20, that will be a problem.
To answer the question in the title... You cannot access user data from fastboot. But you can probably fastboot boot TWRP and use that to access your data. I've done that before, but not on this phone.
Unfortunately the only build of TWRP that anyone has posted is unable to boot on Android 11 and I've not seen any other serious effort.
Assuming you were working entirely with stock ROMs, my best recovery from an unbootable state has been to reflash the stock boot.img, then boot into recovery, and apply over ADB the full downloadable OTA zip. No data wipe occurs.
I just tried to boot TWRP and it didn't work. Odd because it shouldn't depend on anything on the device... Looks like the bootloader is rejecting it
"Error verifying the received boot.img: Invalid Parameter"

It does depend on what's on the device because recovery is no longer its own partition. It's part of the kernel (boot.img). This unofficial TWRP was built against Android 10. And the entire partition layout changes around with the upgrade from 10-11. So it is just not valid and won't boot.

I have built TWRP for one of my previous devices, and i am not sure why no one has built one for A11, for our device; but i can think of a couple of reasons. Right now i have a major sprain In my right wrist/hand, so typing is one handed, and its not my dominate hand. Even if i got it to build, i would be looking for test pilots.

As a software developer that's been doing embedded Linux for 20 years, it saddens me that I haven't got past app development for Android
I'd love to help get TWRP going for the Pixel 4a but probably I'd get nowhere. I can certainly test TWRP builds though. My Pixel 4a is my daily driver but it's unlocked and rooted and I've got a solid off-device backup so I'm relatively fearless with hacking

I was not saying you can execute arbitrary ADB commands in stock recovery. However if you have a full OTA zip and can get into stock recovery, you can choose the option on-device to flash an update over ADB according to Google's instructions. This will only work with a signed official OTA zip. But if you happen to have corrupted your stock ROM to an unbootable state, it is a possible path to get it back to bootable so you can access the contents.
Hello, I had my OP7P rooted on android 11, but after updating to 11.0.6.1.GM21AA, I just couldn't get root to work.
I downloaded the OxygenOS 11.0.6.1.GM21AA from oneplus.com, extracted the boot.img, downloaded the new (supposedly with Android 11 support) TWRP (twrp-3.6.0_11-0-guacamole.img), booted to the TWRP, and installed root using the magisk APK, when I booted the phone had "Android Intellegnce stopped working" all sort of apps stopped working as well and some also crashed when I tried to open them, I flashed the original boot image and after some research I saw that using Magisk Canary build might help, so I tried with it too and same result.
I tried installing root using Magisk.apk, I tried patching a boot image using Magisk (both versions) but to no avail.
Some notes:
-Using the Canary build actually rooted my phone unlike the normal Magisk, but with problems still.
-When trying to use TWRP's "Flash Current TWRP" option, it overwrite my boot image and when trying to boot to fastboot or system it booted to recovery instead.
I will be glad for any help because having an unrooted device sucks.
Thanks in advance and sorry for any grammar mistakes (English is not my first language)
May be the first thing I'd think of trying it to disable any/all Magisk module installed.
Then, with the full OTA ROM stored in the main storage directory of your device... Basically a dirty Flash using the same OOS version you are using now and that should save the wipe/reset...
OTA Flash that and do not reboot and in Magisk manager check to see if manager is able to install Magisk as in install after OTA (?). That should work and then reboot device then verify. Don't forget to re-enable and Magisk modules...
Hope that can and will point you into the right direction.
I've not bothered with TWRP since I installed it then the next OTA went back to stock recovery. So, might be worth skipping TWRP for root as is not required so far as I can tell ... But I also have a Windows computer set up to flash via adb command alternatively.
Edit:. Think I forgot to say that the OTA update changed my TWRP back to stock recovery... But that's easy enough it change if desired

Hello, thanks for the reply, I wanna get a few things straight before doing anything that have the potential to brick my phone.
1. My phone rn isn't rooted, so I cant uninstall or disable Magisk modules, I CAN root my device but it is very unstable and im not sure doing it is a good idea, maybe there's another way to disable them?
2. What do you mean by dirty flash? Using the device update section and selecting the official OOS version I downloaded from OnePlus.com?
1) may be forget about root for now as that's probably not the priority at this time. Getting a stable operating system is the priority. And skip TWRP (don't see the point of if being needed at this step either).
2) my best guess is that I've used oxygen updater from the play store to download the full update (not incremental update) that exactly matches the one you have installed now - or search here and find the match to download or used the OnePlus cite to get the file. Then once that is downloaded to your device - go to settings/system/system updates/local update and install and reboot. That's the dirty Flash as in don't wipe/reset your device either before/after the installation. I'm hoping that this method will clean up both the recovery and boot images to stock and hopefully restore stability to your device without the wipe/reset.
Hope that helps and restore the device stability without TWRP nor root.
Hi wugga3, thanks again for your time, unfortunately a stable device is not my problem, I have managed to make a stable boot image by downloading the OOS version from the Oneplus website and flashing the boot image after attempting to root my device unsuccessfully.
My problem right now is that my device isn't rooted and I can't manage to root it using the methods I mentioned above, I currently have an unrooted stable OOS version 11.0.6.1.GM21AA.

How about installing just the magisk APK then taking the exctracted boot.img patching it in magisk APK, then disabling all security , take the patched boot.img and flash it in fast boot ( fastboot flash boot boot.img) reboot to system .

Here's an Orangefox prerooted OxygenOS 11 boot.img that works on 11 and 12. Just boot to fastboot, connect to a PC open a command prompt in the same directory and type..
fastboot flash boot boot-v9-root24.img...
Also it's easier to just flash both slots by this commands..
Fastboot flash boot_a boot-v9-root24.img and then fastboot flash boot_b boot-v9-root24.img...
I dual boot with this version of twrp and here's a solid boot img. You can flash it also in recovery or with "partition manager off play store. Check it out.
Fixed!
Thanks so much for the suggestions, which I might didn't fully consider in a rush...
The solution was to root my phone, reboot it all shaky and try to disable all Magisk modules (took me 2 tries because of the crashes and stuff), then flash again the original boot image, rebooting, creating a rooted boot.img using Magisk and flashing it.

First of all thanks for the help but I ended up fixing it in another way.
Second of all, not really related but do you know if I can use this recovery on OP7Pro A12 custom Rom? (and flash it)
