You'd be much better of using blu-spark twrp v9. 91 - the latest.

Also you don't mention the fastboot command you use. Are you sure you have it right? As in

Thank you. I flashed TWRP and rooted with Bluespark without any problems.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kamisan:
Did as the op states, follows fasboot commands, unlocked fine booted to twrp fine, flashed blue spark version fine, flashing magisk never says rooted and it reboots to bluspark twrp, tried redoing it all, tried both beta and regular magisk, after the boot all sd folders were gibberish, had that with 5t once had to format data, tried that, folders gone can get to fastboot or bluspark recovery but no further than that, downloading full system to flash that if need be.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] germancx:
Is this guide updated?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
If its gibberish please check if you have flashed the latest bluspark 9.91 to support pie builds, format data and make a clean flash.

The guide should work fine, just use the latest twrp and magisk, rest stays the same :good:

gibberish, whatever, downloaded stock pie flashed that then was able to root. had the right blue spark the whole time. it rebooting the way it did was not gibberish you just did not know why and what it was doing that's fine. I figured it out. belittling people is petty.

---------- Post added at 04:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 AM ----------

probably going to have to try to boot instead of flash

fastboot boot twrp.img see if that will let you at least boot into TWRP from the computer side.

you can also download the blue spark and use it the same way and renamed it just remember whatever you rename it to is what you have to put in place of the word TWRP

mine is giving me that are at one point and then I tried flashing a different stock boot image and that made it worse I ended up flash in the entire stock image

Hi, and thanks for this Guide.

I come from the OnePlus X and it's different from what i'm used too :)

I have a question about the step "You will tempo boot in TWRP". I boot into twrp img like this :

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.91_op6.img

My OP6 boots into TWRP blu_spark but TWRP asks me if I want to keep read-only or Swipe to the right to allow modification...

What should I do ? Read-Only or Swipe to the Right ? in order to installing the twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.91_op6.zip

I guess I hae to choose Swipe to allow modification...

I just want to be sure for that specific step because you didn't mentionned anything about that.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Yes swipe right any continue

Flash the installer which will make sure twrp is flashed in both slots

Reboot Recovery

Flash Magisk V18

Reboot System :good:

There on you can follow my other threads on update for future updates :good:

So, I soft-bricked my OnePlus 6 but am back up and running now after I had a nap and focused.

I want to avoid the mistake I made to soft-brick it again. If anyone would let me know where I went wrong, that'd be great. Given I am unlocked on 9.0.3, Will the Twrp>flash magisk.img>reboot method work?

Was on 5.1.11

Went to 9.0.3 for a few days, lost xposed and root

Decided to try to flash magisk framework via twrp but it rendered the phone unbootable to OS

I was impatient to go home and get the magisk uninstaller file transferred to my phone so I flashed OOS9.0.3 ota full rom. Wiped dalvik, system, data to attempt to fix

problem booting

Discovered that boot partition A would not ask for decryption pw for some reason but B would. I did some stupid things that screwed recovery partition up.

Ran flash-all-partitions.bat to fix back to 9.0.3.

Hi. If i'm going to update my twrp version to the latest, should i still have to flash the .img file thru fastboot? Or i just can flash .zip file from thur twrp(previous version)? Or another is, flash .img file thru twrp(previous one), then flash the .zip file after? Thanks in advance
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jan_aus_Berlin:
You can just flash the .zip file from your previous twrp version.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dungeon47:
I'm new to A/B partitions and trying to adapt my way of thinking to the new way. A few questions:

If I have a custom kernel and flash a custom ROM update, will I need to reflash the custom kernel? Will I need to reflash TWRP? It's the whole marriage of the recovery and boot partitions that is messing with me.

It seems like there are a lot more steps to simply updating a ROM setup. Previously it was flash ROM update, flash Kernel, flash Magisk, done. Now it seems like it's Flash ROM, flash Kernel, boot to temporary TWRP from fastboot, run TWRP installer, flash Magisk, done. Is that right, or am I overcomplicating it?

Is recovery from soft-bricking still as simple as flashing stock images in fastboot?

Does keeping system pure only apply to official OOS OTA updates, or do I need to be concerned with that when using custom ROMs?

Just flash the new installer zip from your existing twrp and reboot recovery to confirm the flash :good:

Yes after every rom update I would recommend to flash Magisk and Kernel again. If the rom is OOS you would have to flash the TWRP installer also. The steps are mentioned on my Software update threads both beta and stable so just follow those.

There is one extra step of flashing the twrp installer rest same as before but you don't have to fastboot again the installer can be flashed from twrp itself. To keep it simple for you it would be like below:

1. Flash the full rom zip (1.6Gigs)

2. Flash the Twrp installer

3. Reboot TWRP

4. Flash Magisk to Maintain root

5. Flash your preferred Kernel (Optional)

6. Reboot system and boot into OS

There can be various reasons for a soft brick but mostly it's a random mod that is not compatible with your new version of the rom so just make sure you always uninstall all the mods, Substratum overlays and any modules before you do the OTA update. Recovering from soft brick can be done either by dirty flashing the full rom or if you want to wipe all u can use the fastboot method or the unbrick tool in the worst scenarios.

[MENTION=4107018]yldlj[/MENTION]: has correctly mentioned that both recoveries are fine but I recommend Bluspark as its frequently updated unlike the official twrp. In order to do so simple download the blu installer and flash it from you evisting twrp. Reboot Recovery once to confirm the upgrade. Let me know if you have any other questions.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vargapirot:
Okay I will change to blu spark twrp that way. And when to flash blu spark kernel? After flashing twrp?

One more question :confused: Does it matter on which slot (A or B) twrp is when flashing those things..

:cyclops:
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Let the device handle the slots, you don't have to manually change the slots until you get into a loop. When you flash the installer it flashes TWRP on both slots and rest any files that you flash are flashed on the active slot :good:
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vargapirot:
1. Flashed blu spark twrp

2. Rebooted to recovery

3. Flashed magisk to get root

4. Flashed blu spark kernel

5. Rebooted to system

Everything works like a charm now !! Thank you !! :cowboy:
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dungeon47:
So is it mods that modify the system partition that cause booting issues? Would systemless mods be safe to leave installed?

I've been flashing on my Oneplus One for 5 years.

Now that I have a OnePlus 6, and reading this guide, I just want to make sure my plan will work.

I want to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP, but not root.

According to this guide I think I will:

1) Unlock Bootloader

2) Flash TWRP

Done.

But according to the guide on page 1, it says DO NOT BOOT INTO SYSTEM YET.

Is it ok if I stop there and reboot into the system?

My main goal is to be able to create Nandroid backups and flash official OTAs, but never root.

Thanks for any help!

Hi

I understood the guide this way :

Unlock bootloader

Fastboot boot to twrp (Don't flash twrp from fastboot)

Flash twrp.zip from twrp

I guess you can boot system without root steps from the guide..

Use blu_spark twrp not the official. And do not Update Android from OTA update ie you need to flash .zip from oneplus download website section. For details on updates procedure follow other guide from Funk..

TWRP won't load

Done with unlocking bootloader. Now at the part where using adb, I am trying to get TWRP started up temporarily before installing the TWRP zip in phone storage. But after typing "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-enchilada.img", my new phone just shows the "Fastboot Mode" and Oneplus logo, then the screen goes dark. The phone can still be booted into the stock system, no problem. What might be wrong??

EDIT: SOLVED. Just switched to an older version, TWRP-3.2.3-0-enchilada. Now a new issue: am trying to copy my Titanium Backup license onto the root directory, but somehow it won't paste. Other folders like DCIM or Pictures can be pasted onto. Problem is, Titanium Backup only searches for the license in the root directory. Anyone have any idea what's wrong?

fastboot flash boot_a boot.img

fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

How did you root it?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] brown1178:
I booted with the patched boot.img , I patched it myself on the OP6, then installed magisk 16.4 and bootet and gained root. Everything seemd to work quiet well , but twitter and amazon and other apps just crashed.

I just found that debloating some google apps, like Music, Films and Gboard causes the Problem. Again I set up everything, then booted the patched boot.img. Uninstalled some google apps with titanium backup. Tested and twitter crashed, rebooted to unrooted system and twitter still crashes, right now I got a notification that all missing google apps were installed from playstore automaticly and twitter no longer crashes....

But booting the patched boot.img still lets the apps crash, so I would say as soon as the device is rooted the app crash issue occurs, it persists if I unsinstall any preinstalled apps.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] nithinmanne:
I patched it myself too, but with Magisk 16.0, check with that once, also where did you get the stock boot image, it might have the wrong one. I am on 5.1.5 and used the boot image from 5.1.5.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] brown1178:

If not, you can still unlock the bootloader now. This way you can wipe storage before you start setting it up, so you won't have to do it again once TWRP is available. You can even update OOS natively with an unlocked bootloader (the native system update mechanism will download the whole ROM instead of an incremental OTA file).

eng.stk has the same downloads page for his TWRP and his kernel versions for custom ROMs and OOS in his devs thread ON XDA. The link from the OP leads to this. The second link you got is directly to his github releases.
