[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MJFox78:
could somebody please explain this part? what's the downside of staying systemless? why would I want to allow modifications?

I read that I need to allow modifications to flash custom ROMs... why? why should I not allow modifications? can I still install OTAs when I allow modifications?

is it possible to switch between those two options afterwards? what if I don't allow modifications and after a while decide to flash a custom ROM?

thanks a lot!

Hello,

After installing the last update (5.1.11) directly from the parameters, the recovery has rolled back to the stock version.

Is there please a solution to keep TWRP for the futures updates ?

Thanks !
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] montecarlo5:
Yes you can but, after flashing the update in TWRP, re-flash TWRP and reboot back into TWRP ( if you have magisk installed ) and then re-flash magisk! Now you can reboot your phone. If you don't do it in that order you will lose TWRP and bootloop ( if magisk was installed) and have to start all over again or use fastboot commands.

Uninstall > Restore Images, it tells me 'Stock backup does not exist'

Any solution? Thanks
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Terrigible:
Oh no, that ain't good. You will need to flash your stock boot image and then re-magisk.

In fastboot,

fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

Then, you will need to reboot to bootloader, boot to twrp.img, flash twrp.zip, reboot to twrp, flash magisk, reboot to system, then follow the steps again. Please do this at your own risk, I'm not sure if this will brick your phone. In the event that you do, use the guide by mauronofrio. Or if you are scared of bricking your phone and can live with that message every time you boot, just leave it.

Thank you friend ?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MJFox78:
what's the difference between "factory fresh" and "clean phone"?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] firozpatel:
Restoring from backup causes bootloop, has that happened to anyone else?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] montecarlo5:
Factory fresh - as if you just got the phone from OnePlus and taking it out of the box for first time (bootloader locked, never been used).

Clean phone - as if you wanted to sell the phone and want to remove all your info and files (bootloader still unlocked, been used).

Hope that helps :good:
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] olifee:
After reading the guide, I have a stupid question.

Is the following possible during a normal OTA?

- OTA of stock firmware will download and install full image to inactive slot, since it detects root. Right?

- Enter Magisk Manager before rebooting and install to inactive slot.

- After rebooting device, TWRP is lost (to be expected).

Is this correct? Can TWRP in this case be reinstalled with TWRP Manager (since Magisk is still alive, you have root)?

This would simplify OTAs significantly, since no manual flashing via TWRP would be needed.

Am I missing anything?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Terrigible:
The Install to Second Slot option is not there (for now). You will have to reboot to bootloader after update and boot to TWRP or boot with patched boot image to flash Magisk.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] olifee:
Ah, ok, understood.

So I always need to have one of the following two things:

- Install OTA "as usual" via the internal feature of the stock ROM. Then I need a laptop / PC so I can fastboot to TWRP, since TWRP will be overwritten by the OTA, and reinstall TWRP and magisk.

- Download full OTAzip manually from the oneplus webpage on the phone, reboot to TWRP, install OTA zip from there. Install TWRP zip from TWRP again, reboot to "new" TWRP, install magisk, wipe cache, reboot to OS.

Correct?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Terrigible:
Yes.

Hi all,

i keep getting black screen and led shining after rebooting from TWRP. ATM I can not start my phone. When i try to boot something with fastboot it tells me :

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 0.619s]

Brand new 6 here, my first OnePlus device after many years being loyal to HTC :)

First of all, thanks for the great guide. Of course it's the easiest-rooted device I ever had, so after years of rooting much harder devices I could probably do with just a couple of steps (do OEM unlock in dev options, proceed with TWRP and Magisk :D ), but a great starting point nonetheless.

I accidentally went ahead and, like an idiot, allowed modifications. Totally by mistake, honest.

Not sure if it's worth it, but how do you go back to systemless?

Thanks!

I came from another ROM which was the liquid remix and when i flashed it I followed the directions to flash the ROM, then reboot to recovery and flash the gapps. Well, I rebooted to recovery and then I had no way to flash the gapps. Luckily I can boot onto the OS, but unfortunately I dont have gapps. So albeit the errors popping up, I can still mount the phone and transfer files. Either way im still screwed.. I cant seem to get the cmd (powershell) off the desktop to flash the twrp file (fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-enchilada) it says unrecognized command or file cannot be found.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] thugslug:
It's fastboot you want. Not ADB.

Boot into fastboot mode. ( Vol up then power on).

Command is-

fastboot devices.

ADB works when Android is booted and connected to PC.

Fastboot works when you boot phone into fastboot mode then attach to PC. You need to be in fastboot mode to install TWRP, as follows...

fastboot boot name-of-twrp-file.img

The TWRP img file must be in the directory you're in on the CMD prompt.

You'll end up in TWRP. Then flash whatever your TWRP zip file is from within TWRP. This zip file should be in root dir on your phone storage.

Hello! Thank you for the guide! I ran into some troubles trying to follow the 'Restoring a Nandroid backup' part.

After updating to stock Pie I decided I wanted to roll back to Oreo using a Nandroid I had made of my Rooted Oreo device.

TWRP gave no errors while flashing my Oreo Nandroid backup.

However, upon completion I could not boot into system.

Afterwards, my Oreo Nandroid backup was no longer visible in TWRP. (I ended up switching slots --DO NOT DO THIS-- and bricking my device real bad, but fixed it in the end ).

Any ideas on what I did wrong? (I have not enabled 'allow modifications' in TWRP, but IIRC this has never caused issues with restoring Nandroids before).
