I reached this point where the device was recognized and successfully unlocked the bootloader. I then ran into trouble with installing TWRP, etc.. I have recovered back t where I was but, again following your notes above, I now can't see the device.

Econet0607:downloads rbillock$ ./adb devices

-bash: ./adb: No such file or directory

Econet0607:downloads rbillock$

I have checked Dev Mode multiple times and verified USB debugging is on and did get the pop up asking to allow. I redid this several times.

The phone says my Bootloader is unlocked. I made it that far and then the TWRP install problem hit. According to instructions I need to put the Zip files and boot.IMG on the phone but without it being recognized I can't load them over. Any ideas?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] equi_design:
Oof. Ummm... I'm not on a 6 (8T here)... Maybe post in the Help & Questions subforum? Can you get the phone recognized in the regular "file transfer" area? Like to move files over - this would be after a regular boot up.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] rbillock:
Well, I ran a factory reset. I plugged in the phone and the Mac recognizes the device but does not let any copying of files to it and I still get:

Econet0607:~ rbillock$ ./adb devices

-bash: ./adb: No such file or directory

Econet0607:~ rbillock$

Seems strange it says 'no such file or directory' vs just not recognizing the device.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] rbillock:
well I am shocked. I rebooted the phone and plugged it into my Ubuntu machine instead of my Mac and it recognized the machine immediately. I am not sure what that is all about but I will try things from Ubuntu instead of Mac.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] rbillock:
I think I finally have been successful rooting my Oneplus 6. Is there anyway to very this was successful?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dewa5227:
it's simply because you didn't use the adb in the correct path. the system simply didn't know where to find adb.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] azzam2379:
hi everyone, I accidentally upgrade to 11.1.1.1 and everything broke down, wifi not working, video not working, and so on. is there any way to flashback to android 10? I am trying to install the latest TWRP and crash dump on every boot.

I've flashed back to the stock boot image but most of the feature was broken. 😢
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] NoahVail:
I submitted the OnePlus drivers from the 3rd post to VirusTotal and 3 out of 64 flagged it as malware. That's low enough it could be a false positive but one detection was for RansomWare. I'm looking for alt drivers.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] harshilsharma63:
@NoahVail did you find alternate drivers? I'm interested as well.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] NoahVail:
I got the driver files from the phone itself.

As I recall, when I plugged my phone to my PC (file transfer mode), my PC showed an emulated CD rom that had the files on it. Post TWRP, I show the CD drive but it errors when I try to access it.

I have installed Lineage OS 18.1 and the Gapps. Can I install Magisk without erasing everything? How should I proceed, please?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] CptSpartano:
Hi, I want to unlock the bootloader to install TWRP and a custom ROM. The problem is, fastboot doesn't recognize the device (I execute fastboot devices and nothing appears), so I'm stuck right at the beginning. The check in the Developer options allowing OEM unlock is on.

Edit: I just solved it with this: https://www.droidwin.com/fix-android-device-not-showing-in-fastboot-mode/

Problem now: I'm trying to boot to the TWRP image (through fastboot boot twrp-3.6.0-...img) but it is stuck on the TWRP startup page so I can't perform the permanent install.

Final edit: well, since this is my main phone for now and since I expected to be as simple as the guide shows, I'm going to leave it as it is with only the bootloader unlocked. I thought it was as easy as unlock bootloader, boot to twrp.img (I'm reading there's a problem with newer versions, and also I'm a bit confused about the different partitions some have written about), flash twrp permanently, flash magisk, flash custom ROM and addons, and that's it.

I hope the problems will be solved in the future to make the process as smooth as it should be, and when this phone becomes the secondary phone I will try again :_D
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] funinagg:
hi, i was able to install twrp and magisk.

then i did a complete wipe including everything hoping to do a clean install.

then i copied the rom to sdcard and it installed ok.

however when i booted into system, i got qualcom crashdump mode.

i just used MSM tool which puts me on OOS 5.1.5 which is Android 8.1.0

so how do i install a ROM from twrp?

clearly i did something wrong.

just installing MOKEE rom from twrp crashed it.

thanks.

Hi guys i have in my the official 10.3.12 with root and i want to pass to the last 11.1.2.2, what is che procedure to passing keeping the root?

Hello there is something i do not understand with the 2 slots of the OP6.

I have followed that guide but when I installed LineageOS, it seems that I was put on the slot A and unable to return to slot B.

I have to use the unbrick tool to redo my OP6
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] preditcon:
I lost an hour an a half trying to determine why my OP6 (OxygenOS 10) was being detected as an unknown device in Windows 10 Device manager (detected as Android with an exclamation mark) when in fastboot mode. This on a fresh Windows 10 install (virtual machine, vmWare Workstation Player).

It refused to accept Google fastboot drivers by pointing to the folder with the correct driver. I had to do the following:

right click the device (named "Android" in my case) in Device Manager

choose "Update driver"

choose "Browse my computer for drivers"

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

choose "Show All Devices" then "Next"

choose "Have Disk..." then "Browse..." to Google drivers ("android_winusb.inf")

after confirming, you get back to driver selection with three entries available

choose "Android Bootloader Interface" and "Next"

Windows will nag with "Installing this driver is not recommended because...", choose Yes

confirm the next dialog and voila; fastboot is recognized and working

Another thing about the instructions in the guide here: you do not need to root in order to create a full Nandroid backup in TWRP, you also do not need to flash TWRP in order to root the phone. Just boot TWRP up temporarily and do what needs to be done. OP6 is one of the few devices in my Android array of devices that is actually capable of just booting TWRP.

FWIW, I used "twrp-3.7.0_11-0-enchilada.img" with OxygenOS 10.3.11, flashed Magisk 23.0, since it is enough for my purposes. Worked like a charm.

The only thing that bothers me is the "update available" notification that shows up after every reboot, despite me having disabled automatic checking for updates in Developer options.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] uroojjj:
I am having some issue with my current 13 ROM, my front camera everytime fails to open on all 13 ROMS,tried different ROMS, changing camera Apps etc, it was all good on the original 11 ROM, I would like to know how would I flash OOS 11 on my Android 13 ?Without Bricking or messing up otherwise.

Someone on other thread suggested to flash OOS .

Also, this is not a hardware issue as once or twice I was able to make it work, but this is not replicable.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] erik.aragorn:
It is not possible flash twrp on this phone....After typing command, phone boot to black screen and that is all...
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] drsrg:
Dear friends,

Are first page topics updated?

Could I follow then? :oops:

Work is time consuming for the fun things. :cautious:
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] espionage724:
The fastboot unlock part looks good!

I wouldn't recommend TWRP but instead doing whatever the custom ROM you want instructs; LineageOS has its own recovery for example. I never recommend any kind of partition or disk image restore for restorations and wouldn't recommend Nandroid either (looks like it relies on TWRP). I'd say you'd be fine to skip over the TWRP and Nandroid steps from this guide.

The EFS backup is a good idea; Renegade Project mentions two extra partitions to backup and I'd follow their commands with adb shell instead: https://renegade-project.tech/en/install#h-13-backing-up-essential-partitions

So basically you unlock the OP6's bootloader, back-up the modem/EFS partitions (ideally :p), and then flash whatever you want!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] drsrg:
Thanks!

I'm trying to understand everything.

About customs ROMs, I would like a rooted one, with call recorder.

Which one do you recommend, please?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] espionage724:
I never tried call recording and don't know what to recommend for that, sorry!

I prefer LineageOS as it seems the most structured, consistent, and is the base for most other custom ROMs and projects. I don't need customization; I just want basics to work with minimal flair and some respect to privacy.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] memetix:
Thanks for the excellent instructions, worked perfectly for me. I wouldn't have a hope of doing any of this if it wasn't for kind clever people like you.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] richardmace:
Thanks from me too. Two OP6 phones rooted successfully and still working fine after 6 years.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Glad it worked for you both :)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] xXx:
thanks for sharing that. I successfully flashed this TWRP. It's massive laggy but seems to work. Next I will try to flash something.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Nice... I'll try when I get back :good:

Hope to see the xxx for the 6 soon :highfive:
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] xXx:
I'm working on it but treble and a/b partitioning requires me to make several adjustments. But yes I should be able to have a first version soon if the Chinese TWRP works fine.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Sounds good buddy :fingers-crossed:

Many thanks for your continued support for OnePlus Devices :highfive:
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] xXx:
the correct commands to backup the EFS partitions on the OP6 is

dd if=/dev/block/sdf2 of=/sdcard/modemst1.bin bs=2048

dd if=/dev/block/sdf3 of=/sdcard/modemst2.bin bs=2048
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] panart:
Did you flash it via fastboot (fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-180513-h2os-20180526.img)?

I tried to flash it with "Flashify" but the app can't find the recovery and boot partitions, i guess due to treble a/b partitioning (sadly the app has been abandoned since December 2015).
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Displax:
It is not flashable. OP6 doesn't have separate recovery partition. You need to temporary boot TWRP.

Permanent install is not possible for now.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Updated the OP :good:
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jacdelad:
It's running again, dont't know what was wrong but I had to fastboot flash boot.img to both slots and was able to reboot even before support reached back to me.

Regarding apps crashing, I tried again with the linked, already patched boot.img and it is working now - like I posted above...[/QUOTE]

I had the same problem. Reflash the original boot.img and do full wipe.

In another thread we concluded not to to factory reset in Android settings after tooting with this method.:)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] hurray:
Is "Magisc Hide" enabled on your phone? I have the problem with crashing apps in the past if this feature was enabled (at least with Firefox). After I disabled it (Open Magisc App - Settings - then disable "Magisc Hide") all crashed apps are running correctly again (after a reboot). Just an idea. :)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Poloasis:
Donation for some beers, let us know when you have a stable version that we can try. Great work bud.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] hurray:
Do the restore commands have to be adjusted as well?

For now I have noted these ones:

fastboot flash modemst1 modemst1.bin
fastboot flash modemst2 modemst2.bin
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] nithinmanne:
No, they are correct.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] xXx:
thanks very much! :laugh: I will do my best but currently the aroma installer freeze on startup. So the TWRP seems to be still buggy. Let's hope for a working TWRP available soon. But even though I have already an idea what needs to be reworked on my rom to get it working on the op6. Still quite some work.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] hafiz.hasan:
tried to flash stock rom with this recovery..i am getting error 255...can u help me what to do..
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] zeldomar:
But I will have to go through the settings app as usual ? (no manual download from Xda forums?)

Thanks
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Displax:
Can you show screenshot or recovery.log?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] hafiz.hasan:
here u go..
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Displax:
OK, error not showing. After installation failed go to the main menu -> Advanced -> Copy Log.

And attach recovery.log from /sdcard.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] emontes:
Pretty sure this is the way to go as I've done it before with other devices but doing fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img restarts the phone and goes back to the OS.

Anything I'm missing?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] omidchini:
same for me, probably doing something obvious wrong though
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] magnamentis:
you'd either have to post a 100% detailed step by step history what you did and/or a log to find not what went wrong.

on the other hand since a readymade img has been made available this is somehow overkill to re-invent the wheel while i fully understand

the interest to learn. as i said, in that case you'd have to provide a totally accurate step history or a log to find the error and narrow down

things back down to the mistake. many times it can be spaces or other typos ;)

Could someone with successful root please try if Llamalabs Automate app can toggle mobil data and battery saver? Altough the app as granted root access I can't toggle at least those two settings. I was wondering if it is an issue related to OxygenOs or if I there went something wrong as I rooted.

Temporary TWRP | Credits to wuxianlin @charlieb620 @joemossjr

Flashing TWRP Recovery

Downloads:

TWRP & Root Package

TWRP Source

Download & Extract the TWRP Package files, place TWRP img on your PC & rest on Device Internal Memory.

Then boot it into fastboot/bootloader mode by holding volume up + power or selecting the reboot to bootloader via advanced reboot options.

Open a new command prompt in the same location and run the following commands, as OnePlus 6 does not have recovery partition we have to flash the recovery to both a/b partitions:

fastboot flash boot_a twrp.img

fastboot flash boot_b twrp.img

Once the flash has completed, Manually boot it into recovery by pressing the Vol Button for a couple of times till you see recovery in red at the top and then hit the power button to reboot to recovery and use your password/pattern/pin to decrypt the storage.

After decryption of data, use the right tab to select English as you language & swipe to continue.

Select Install Menu & Install img > Flash boot.img

Flash the TWRP Fix (TWRPWorkingInstaller) to remove the lag

Flash the color fix to default blue (TWRP-Blue-Fix)

Flash Root zip to gain Root via Magisk

Flash the Black theme if you like (Optional) | Credits [MENTION=6044723]Morphine1[/MENTION]

Reboot Recovery once to make sure the recovery stays :good:

Reboot System :highfive:

PS: The initial installation and navigation until reboot is extremely laggy so please be patient. In case TWRP freezes on you please long press power to switch off the device and then press volume down plus power to boot into recovery. Upon the first reboot of recovery it should work fine.

This is only a TEMPORARY TWRP NOT THE OFFICIAL VERSION so EXPECT BUGS for now. The thread will be updated once we have a stable/official TWRP, till then for those who cant wait can follow the above to make it work temporarily :fingers-crossed:

​
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] panart:
It worked, but i get a warning message on boot to system, it says "There's an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details".

Also Wi-Fi is broken and device is very laggy on unlocking from lock screen, then device freezes and reboots.

Everyone, be warned, DO NOT install TWRP right now if you want a working device.

[MENTION=6143932]Funk Wizard[/MENTION] please edit or remove your post, and PLEASE test things thoroughly before you post them
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
I guess there is something wrong at your end, i never post anything without testing :o

Everything works fine here, Wifi works fine and no lags, freezes or reboots here.

Above TWRP is safe to INSTALL

Edit: Screenshots included
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flying Fox:
It is tested, .. and take a look to the twrp-thread. I think I read about a solution, which could solve your issues. Somebody flashed another version of TWRP. But not sure if that was the clue. Or is wifi working again?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] panart:
I followed your tutorial to the last letter. I'm now in the process of backing up, which is interrupted every 2-3 minutes by a random reboot.

Even if it was something at my end (i really doubt that) it doesn't mean it won't happen others as well, thus my warning is valid.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Thank you for your warning buddy. Everybody knows this is not official twrp and this twrp is already tested by many.

Also recovery partition has nothing to do with broken wifi or lags/freeze is OOS

If you don't mind, please follow the process once again to test it, thanks :fingers-crossed:
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] panart:
I had absolutely no freezing issues, not a single random reboot, or Wi-Fi issues until i followed your tutorial.

I followed your tutorial to the last letter so please don't try to make me look like the guilty one because i warned others.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
I have nothing against you buddy and i appreciate the you were wise to give the warning as others could replicate your issue.

The original tutorial was shared here on the TWRP thread and you can post there to check if others have any such issue.

Edit: Can you try with this version of TWRP
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] silvercat:
From where can I get the black theme ?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] tdamocles:
And this is the tool that we need to get our hands on because if I seem to remember the OnePlus 3 or 3T forums had it and it was a nice tool to use if you borked your installations or just start fresh.

I should have read the whole forum. Looks like we have the tool already.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fliegerhermi:
Hi. I am having the same issue: Wifi not working, internal error, etc.

How can I undo this? Any Chance to go back to stock?

Thanks everyone for this very useful thread. It was super helpful.

I followed the instructions very carefully and am now enjoying my OP6 with root! I've encountered no problems (yet... ;))

So, if this is a temporary TWRP:

1) Does that mean that we have to go through the whole process of installing TWRP again if/when we install a new update of Oxygen?

2) When TeamWin releases the official TWRP recovery for the OP6, is it just a matter of reflashing the official TWRP over the temporary one?

3) Can that be done using the temporary TWRP or do we need to go through ADB?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] igotroot:
I love the v30+.... only issue is T-Mobile made it extra extra hard on its variant of the v30+ to root.

Progress is being made and we should have it rooted soon.

But OnePlus makes great phones; I'm definitely a fan. My brother in law has the 5T, he said he's never going back to iPhones again. Even my mother-in-law is getting the OnePlus 6, also leaving iPhone. LOL

I don't want to troll, so you guys have a great Memorial Day, be safe, and again congrats on OnePlus 6 Developing.
