Dude, much appreciate your contribution for collecting all needs under one thread but when I recap all past experience with OP development, feel discouraged to open bootloader , yet to see any 100% stable custom ROM from any developer.

Even developer preview of P is bugged as on date :crying:

Staying with stock seems better choice , entirely a personal choice, nothing offending

Thank You guys I'll try! Also there is no twrp as of now so can we install magisk to gain root access somehow? Without twrp?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iElvis:
You can do it with a patched boot image, but the people who have tried it are getting error messages:

Oh man, do you think it will slow down development like it did on the Pixels?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
I respect your opinion of stock ROM being the best ROM though I will still maintain to tweak it even further you can unlock and root your device. Unlocking will only wipe your data once so i recommend do it in the beginning when the device is fresh so you have nothing to lose.

I recommend wait for a couple of days for a working twrp, for now just unlock the device

Yeah saw the update at work... No issues updating with unlocked bootloader. As most of devices were shipped with test builds these patches were due. I expect a a couple more before we get the real update.

[MENTION=6143932]Funk Wizard[/MENTION] Nice guide!

One doubt I get from the tutorial. After booting TWRP and flashing the TWRP installer on the booted TWRP, TWRP should be installed inside both boot images (boot_a and boot_b). However, it seems that you can't continue booting now and you must first install Magisk.

The question is why? Couldn't the TWRP installer do the same trick that Magisk uses to just patch boot and not ruin it? Would it work with TWRP install + Custom Kernel instead? There's any SuperSU option for something like TWRP installer + Custom Kernel + SuperSU like on other phones? This part is almost or just no explained anywhere in the sub and it's a shame, the why's are the reason why we love to flash stuff, following instructions blindly sucks :(.

Thanks!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathanchance:
It's because Magisk disables verity by default. Restore the boot image by hitting uninstall then, before rebooting, check the keep dm-verity option and hit Install -> Direct Install and reboot. Should still be rooted and not have that message.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] HACK3DANDR0ID:
Yea, I just tried that and still getting the Android System message:confused:and Preserve dm-verity is checked after reboot...

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] montecarlo5:
When a new update comes, you can download it from XDA rom thread or the full update with phone (it will tell you phone is rooted and will download full rom) but don't install it in system update. Reboot to twrp and install update then flash TWRP after finished,

DO NOT REBOOT PHONE, REBOOT BACK TO TWRP!

Reinstall Magisk.zip then you can reboot phone.

If you update within the system update engine you will lose twrp (factory recovery will reinstalled) and Magisk and possibly boot-loop/brick your phone and have to start all over again. You can still keep Magisk if you don't reboot phone when finished updating but go into Magisk and reinstall it from there and then reboot phone.

If you're still not sure, wait til the update comes out and for one of the awesome people on here to update their thread or some-one makes a new thread for the update.

any suggestions? Tried reinstalling the apps but to no success.

Hi guys, everyone I go into recovery, it asks for a encryption password, when I got cancel, I can't see my folders on my phone, just folders with a bunch of letters and numbers, any help with this password issue or any alternative I can do?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] castrum_doloris:
Do you have set any lockscreen security? If yes (and if it's a PIN or passphrase) you have to enter it there to decrypt your data in TWRP. If it's a fingerprint, swipe or smth else like this, I guess the only way is to remove/delete your lockscreen settings.

And remember to always remove any lockscreen security before you create a (nandroid)backup :)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] firozpatel:
I tried what you said and it worked, and regards to finger print you still have a back up of using a pin, so that's what it was, it was my 4 digit PIN, so a question, do I need to remove security to install apps or modules, say for example kernels or magisk modules through recovery?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] castrum_doloris:
Glad that it worked :)

I don't use fingerprint or faceunlock so I didn't know that. Thanks for the information. I don't own my OnePlus 6 for a long time and I'm still trying to configure it (which isn't very easy apparently).

During this time I had set a PIN for lockscreen security and I could flash/install everything I wanted without any problem. But I decrypted my storage everytime in TWRP, so I don't know what happens if you have set a fingerprint/faceunlock/swipe/etc lockscreen security and/or you don't want/ are not able to decrypt your storage (for example if the backup PIN isn't working or smth like this). I just don't know, if just your /data(/media) partition or all partitions of the device are encrypted with your custom security-key.

My guess is, that all partitions are encrypted and therefore you have to always enter your PIN to decrypt your phone.

So I'd propose to test it out by yourself (I don't have access to my android-tools on my computer right now, I can look into this later):

Just to be safe:

- Remove all screen security

- Create a full nandroid backup (select all partitions)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Install screen security again

- Flash something you want without decrypting in TWRP

EDIT:

Or you just try to mount/unmount the different partitions in TWRP and you try to access them with the TWRP File Browser x)

I guess, if TWRP can't mount /system, /data or /data/media you'll receive an error message and nothing else happens. But just to be safe I'd recommend to create a nandroid backup.

Something just came into my mind: If I'm right, the Magisk-Image is stored somewhere in /data. So it could be possible that you can flash things to /system but no magisk-modules.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] firozpatel:
It's all trial and error but I don't want errors as it takes for ever to sort the phone out lol, well I'm glad the pin works and it dycryps it allowing me to go to storage, as if I press cancelled the folders are names in gibberish, so that's no good, hopefully twrp can bypass the dycryption process

Also I tried to install the twrp app from playstore but everyone I open the app it just closed on me and I can't get that to work, any ideas for that my friend?

If you install full ROM from TWRP with no aditional install, sure thing, TWRP will be gone, not sure about magisk, but i think it will be gone too. Yout bootloader will be still unlocked tough. Be aware, that if you lock it, you will lose all of your files.

---------- Post added at 21:39 ---------- Previous post was at 21:38 ----------

I was suspicious about this reboot after ROM install without reinstalling TWRP and sure thing, i installed the 5.1.9 ROM, rebooted to recovery and no TWRP, just original recovery. Had to fastboot TWRP and install it via zip and install magisk after.

So, i think the correct procedure should be:

- Install ROM in TWRP.

- Install TWRP

- Install magisk

- Reboot

Any corrections to this?

Full ROM i used: 5.1.9 from: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3792244

Need a little help....something went wrong.

Following the first few OPs.....things were going smoothly. But I goofed at the end of Post 5...the 1+ 6 started booting the OS. Realized I made a mistake, stopped the booting, went back into TWRP (fastboot and TWRP working fine). Went to post 6. In TWRP, flashed Magisk 16.0, went fine.

Reboot the OS (in TWRP after Magisk install finished).

Now....the 1+ 6 is endlessly (left it for 30 minutes) on the Red/White Dot animation.

At 30 minutes....I rebooted the 1+ 6 to fastboot. My computer (MAC actually) does see the 1+ 6. Good.

I can also boot TWRP 3.2.2.0. Good.

but the 1+ 6 won't boot the OS...

When booting TWRP, looking at the /sdcard directory, something is definitely amiss. It's appearing as all directories being gibberish (random letters/numbers).

Reading a few of the other posts (mega unlock thread and others here on XDA), as well as most of this thread....it looks like I can TWRP flash the OxygenOS 5.1.8 (downloaded from oneplus.com) and I'm back to square one (locked BL, etc.) with 5.1.8?

What would be the best course of action? I'm usually using HTC devices for all this....where I can just put a zip file on a ext SD and go from there...but just started the process of switching to the 1+ 6.

TIA!

Hey guys, thanks for your work on the OP6 so far! I recently got mine and Enabled OEM Unlocking, USB Debugging and Advanced Reboot. My problem occurs when I send "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.2.0-enchilada.img", I get the "Cannot load...: No such file or directory". Now, I know you're gonna think I got the name wrong and I did too. But I checked, double checked and triple checked my numbers and spelling of Enchilada to no avail. Does anyone else have issues similar to this? Some info I will include is that I'm on the P Beta and am actually having other issues.

For example, my advanced reboot wont show up despite being enabled, which I attributed to maybe a P Beta bug. Next I had trouble getting into the bootloader via the Vol. Up/Power button method since my advanced reboot is MIA. The phone is entirely off, I hold the power, vol up buttons and nothing. I'll do it over and over sometimes holding for minutes about 10 times before it finally complies. Anyway, advice is appreciated. I've had a few heart attacks thinking I've bricked it due to this so far haha!
