Hey guys, I seem to have messed something up along the process of installing twrp to my 6. The current situation is that I can only get to the bootloader, no OS or recovery on it. I've unlocked the bootloader previously but I can't find the phone on adb devices so I can't push anything to it. The fastboot boot twrp image command fails for me as well. Just got this phone a few days ago, any help is appreciated!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lanky09:
when i switch on the device it has an orange exclamation mark at the top and says "The boot loader is unlocked and software integrity cannot be guaranteed"

then after a few seconds it tries to boot h2OS and gets stuck on OS logo "H2OS" and doesn't do anything, all i can do is switch the device off

If i turn on with vol+ button held down i can enter fastboot but if i select recovery and proceed it does exactly as above

Try to fastboot boot twrp and wipe cache. Try installing twrp while you are at it.

Hi guys, I was going to download the firmware of the forum, but then I got a update message on my phone, so if I do it through my phone, will the bootloader still remain unlocked and also do have to reinstall twrp again?

I guys! I got a problem...I was on 5.1.8 then Ive done the update to 5.1.9 and obviously I lost root and twrp. I tried to connect to my PC to flash via ADB but list device connected is always empty. I tried uninstalling drivers but I got always the same issue..

Any suggestion?

Try fastboot boot twrp and wipe cache.

If that doesn't work, try reinstalling H2OS

Did you reinstall the drivers?

Did you allow to prompt on your phone for adb?

In fastboot, use fastboot devices instead.

Guys, sorry if I'm posting this message without read the olders.

I have been unlocked the bootloader and got root permissions. Some days ago, I'm receiving notifications for OTA update, if i will do it.. i will lose root?

in positive case, for get it again, i need to follow the same procedure?

After got root permission, it's suggested lock again the bootloader? It's possible without lose the root?

Thanks :)

While in system/recovery, use adb devices to check if device is connected, in fastboot, use fastboot devices instead.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chirag Piplani:
I found the problem. When my phone is in fastboot mode my phone is not connecting to pc.. i checked in drive manager in pc. They showing that no drivers are installed.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChemoNL:
I wrote it on my mobile during the work-out, sorry mate.

A bit more elaborated:

Boot your OP6 to the bootloader

Connect the OP6 to your pc

Open Windows Device Manager

Go to Other Devices and search for the Android with the yellow exclamation mark.

Right click and select uninstall

Disconnect and Reconnect the OP6

Open Windows Device Manager again

Go To Other Devices and search for the Android with the yellow exclamation mark again

Right click and select update drivers

Select "Browse my computer for driver software"

Select "Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer"

Select "Android"

Select "Android Bootloader Interface"

Accept the warning and continue

Wait untill the installation is complete

voila you are now able to use fastboot with your OP6

hi guys,

I have a question, my friend is in china and he just bought a one plus 6, he's coming back to France for vacation, i intend to unlock, root, flash etc... his device, he is using an app called wechat (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tencent.mm&hl=fr) , he is using this app everyday in china to pay ( like samsung pay ), does unlocking rooting and flashing a custom ROM will kill the ability to pay via this app ??

thanks.

If you use Magisk Hide, root probably won't be a problem. Not so sure about custom ROM though

Hi,

Yesterday i've root my OP6 and Flash xXx NoLimits Magisk ROM.

It doesn't work as expected so, i've decide to wipe partition in TWRP and i have forgot to uncheck System... So, i restored my Nandroid Backup but now, i just have a black screen with white notification LED and my TWRP stuck on Boot screen (i didn't have lockscreen security when i made the backup).

I just have a working fastboot mode.

Do i have to flash a fastboot ROM or there is an easier solution like booting up TWRP with the img, reinstall it and flash another ROM ?

Thanks.

Anyone got Magisk working on 5.1.9?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] old_fart:
Quick answer - yes.

I too have read conflicting reports on Magisk working on the latest. Some people just try and have it not work... Mystery.

Most recently I "had to do" a dreaded format data. . I was trying a different twrp and things went sideways. . I guess it was my turn to have unexpected, really crappy things happen. . . . All is put back together now.

.

I have kept using the beta version of the Magisk for the last several iterations of the os. . 5.1.5 - thru - 5.1.9

No HD Netflix after unlocking bootloader?

So can anyone who's already unlocked their bootloader confirm what the maximum resolution Netflix will stream at after losing widevine DRM certification? Is it 720p or 480p?

Here's a 1080p test pattern video that shows the currently streaming resolution in the upper-right corner (pinch to unzoom to see it): https://www.netflix.com/watch/80018591?trackId=14277283

I'm not too concerned about this, as I don't watch much video on my phone, but am still curious about the max res. AFAIK the Chrome browser itself is also resolution limited to 720p, no matter the platform (can confirm on linux).
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] spartan268:
In case you're still having issues I had the same problem too. It's super simple and I slapped myself for it.

Boot your OP6 to it's normal state to Android. Connect it to your PC and on your OP6 choose the tiny dropdown to change it from charge only to transfer files. This made it install drivers and everything hooked up as expected. After this fastboot started to work perfectly.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] spartan268:
Yay you got it working. Are you using beta or stable?

EDIT: I had the best luck with 16.0 stable. I used the beta version but got a pop-up upon boot. I ended up uninstalling and restoring image. And then checking the two boxes and hitting install on the Magisk app. Works flawlessly now.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] himax3:
You have to install the fastboot drivers.. U can use any flashing software ...install the software search the program folders of the software for drivers and install it...basically u will get fastboot and flashmode drivers...

And now u should check for fastboot scripts..which u can get from the program folder of kingo root as I did....or some other sources....copy the scripts to that directory from which you are opening cmd prmpt in windows 10

Then ur fast boot commands should work

My OnePlus 6 arrives tomorrow and I will be rooting it right away. Just want to confirm that this method works with safetynet and Android/Google pay since I need that to work.

Also, can I perform this whole process straight out of the box, or do I need to turn it on and change anything (e.g. enable bootloader unlocking in settings)?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dazbutler1:
Hi,

Can confirm this does work fine with safetynet. Can't say for certain about Google Pay as I've not been able to get my card to work in Google Pay even from stock. However, I do believe Google pay should still work with this method.

You will need to power the device up, skip through the setup process because you need to enable USB debugging, Bootloader unlocking and recommend advanced reboot. After unlocking bootloader, you will again need to skip through the setup process to enable USB debugging.

Hi,

The tuto says one must not reboot to the OS right after TWRP has been installed as default recovery but must root. I guess it was meant to be mandatory but more an advice to save time.

You can install TWRP without rooting the device, right ?

You can flash twrp without root, yes. But if you were rooted before, then installing or updating twrp, you need to root before booting to the OS!

Hey! First thing first, thx you very much for the guide which is very clear and I have 0 experience with android, root, flash.

I was wondering a couple of things:

"1. Download &

Update

OnePlus 6 Drivers From Here

2. Download &

Update

Fastboot and ADB Binaries/Drivers from Here"

There is a way to update this files or you update these 2 links every time the new version comes out?

Then in this xda video youtube.com/watch?v=Es80k627kTc (sorry don't have the permission to post links already) I see , among the files, "UniversalAdbDriverSetup" so I was just wondering, seeing that the video is from June 2018 a couple of months after your guide, if this works in the same way of the ADB binaries/drivers that you linked or is something different.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] maigre:
Just got my OP6 today and pretty quickly went to work. I got unlocked and rooted fine. But I couldn't get TWRP zip file installed, though I was able to run it by booting from a command line on my Mac. The installation failure was because of zip signature verification failure. I reloaded the zip onto the device and tried again. Failed again. So, foolishly, perhaps, I deselected verification from the TWRP screen and installed. That worked. Sort of.

I then booted into custom recovery and TWRP loaded. But when I tried to boot to the system from there, it kept rebooting to TWRP. Finally, something or another I did got me booting to what I thought was going to be the system. But I stalled in sort of a bootloop. The OOS boot animation got stuck at the red dot with two white ones orbiting around it. I used the power and volume buttons to reboot to the bootloader and ran TWRP from there. The file manager showed a pretty corrupted /sdcard. All the directories that were there were gone and there was nothing but maybe 20 folders that with longish names that didn't mean anything to me. Things like 0GjJu11U... So I figured that there was no OS anymore. I tried a system reset, but that didn't work, for what appears to be obvious reasons. There was no system.

Ultimately, via Stock Fastboot ROMs for OnePlus 6, I'm up and running again on OOS 5.19.

That said, could anyone explain why my TWRP installation failed? Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a command line way to install it?

Also, now that I'm restored and have some data on my /sdcard, when I boot into TWRP, i'm prompted with a Mount request for password. If I cancel out, my data is unintelligible to me like it was above. If I enter a password, the data decrypts and it's visible to me again in the TWRP file manager. That didn't happen before I bricked. Why now? Is this as it should be? I know the phone is encrypted, but I wasn't seeing this earlier.

Awesome guide! Really needed with all this A/B stuff :P. I still have a doubt tho:

For other ramdisk modifications in the kernel (Custom Kernel, Xposed, etc.) they don't need recovery restart since they're flashed in the current partition, and they must be flashed after flashing (for real) TWRP. But the order between those (and Magisk) is relevant? Have they to be flashed in any special order for any special reason? Can they flashed at the same time? (without booting again after flashing twrp and restarting recovery). Don't remember having any issue on preivous non-A/B phones with the order, only that magisk or something nuling dm-verity was necessary, but you could just flash all of them at the same time and go.

Thanks a lot!
