twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.85_op6.img

No, I unlocked bootloader which in turn wiped the phone. After this, I proceeded to complete the first start procedure, set up a pin and enable usb debugging. I haven't attempted a manual wipe yet.

Edit: Trying with the version twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.85v2_op6.img has yielded results. I got through TWRP. Thanks for your time buddy.

Hi Guys,

I have updated my OP6 to Android 9, I have installed magisk when it was 8.1, and it was unrooted after the updates.

Now on Android 9, android.com.phone always crashes if i flash magisk on my OP6

Any idea why this happened?

Edit:

Fixed by myself, run magisk uninstaller and flash it again :)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheNetwork:
Of course it works in the ROM... I would have stayed stock if MTP didn't work in the ROM. It would be nice if it worked in TWRP too, and I can't find any other mention of "bluspark twrp" online other than your post
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] viperex37:
Different user here but having the same issue. I downloaded twrp-3.2.3-0-enchilada.img to my computer.

fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-enchilada.img

shows

Downloading 'boot.img' OKAY [ 0.575s]
booting OKAY [ 0.097s]
Finished. Total time: 0.692s

on my command prompt but then my phone shows the Qualcomm Crash dump screen.

Phone was updated to Android 9 (Build number: A6003_22_180915) and has been reset already because I couldn't connect to Wi-Fi after unlocking the bootloader.

Hoping someone has a fix because I can't boot to TWRP, let alone install TWRP

I'd like to know the answer to this too..

---------- Post added at 04:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 AM ----------

Does anyone know how to get the restore working in TWRP? I backup everything by choosing all partitions then finishes and works fine. When I restore all partitions back and finishes fine. However, when I boot the device I get the "Your device is corrupt. It can’t be trusted and may not work properly" and stays on the message no matter pressing power to bypass. I'm forced to flash it using the MSMD tool to restore the OS. I've tried this twice. Once I was rooted and the second time I installed magisk but didn't install the module for root. Please anyone who can direct, I'll love you forever.

I'm having the same issue as you had, but am still unsure how to continue. Could you confirm whether this is the right way to do it? I still have the Magisk app installed, don't know if that matters.

Download blu_spark .img and .zip, transfer .zip to phone

Download latest magisk .zip, transfer .zip to phone

fastboot boot <blu_spark>.img

Flash blu_spark .zip

Reboot to Recovery

Flash magisk .zip

Wipe cache

Reboot to System
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] HariEdo:
So I had successfully followed the procedures listed here below, and confirmed Magisk Manager and a root-checker app both said "Yes, you have root." But now I don't.

OnePlus 6, OxygenOS 5.1.11.

* I (still) have an unlocked bootloader.

* I (still) have TWRP 3.2.3-0 installed, and can use it.

* I had Magisk 16.7 (latest at the time) installed and root confirmed in Magisk Manager,

but the "Something is wrong with your device" message showed up at every startup so I tried flashing 17.1.

* After flashing Magisk 17.1, no more "Something is wrong" message. I also had confirmed that root was still present in Magisk Manager app.

* Some time later, Magisk app says "Magisk not installed" and a root checker app says no root.

Some threads on other sites are talking about a SafetyNet failing after a certain amount of runtime? I don't know if that's related, but I have had my OP6 powered up and idle a lot.

* I can reapply Magisk 16.4 thru 17.1 in TWRP with no errors, but no success to regain root. (For a while, 16.4 was supposedly better than successors, per many comments here.)

* Magisk Manager app always fails to install the Magisk zips.

* I have tried going back from the fastboot boot TWRP 3.2.3-0 img, reinstall TWRP 3.2.3-0 installer zip, and then reapply Magisk 16.4. (This says "stock boot image detected" so it seems like it should be clean.) I get no errors, but no success to gain root.

I've not yet tried to load any Magisk modules, and nothing about Pie or bluespark, just the TWRP and Magisk versions mentioned above.

Any ideas how I can regain my root?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] xdaerdeve:
Hi,

I have a OnePlus6 with Oxygen 9.0 (Android 9).

Can I also do this root process with the tools on this tutorial or have I first to downgrade to Oxygen 8.x?

Warning: Do not flash partial update OTAs (under 1 GB) on a modified device! If you want to use partial OTAs, you must first flash a full OTA that it applies to, and then flash the partial OTA from stock recovery. Flashing partial OTAs from TWRP will either fail or soft brick your device. You can return to a usable state by flashing full zips in recovery.

Does this only apply to custom ROMs?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] viperex37:
This is basically what I did except I didn't wipe cache before rebooting to System. I don't think that will matter much though. How do you have the Magisk app installed if you haven't been able to flash the recovery?

I already had my phone rooted :)

With the previous OTA (which I installed from the notification), it was really easy to just simply flash latest TWRP .zip + Magisk .zip afterwards. I guessed it would be the same now but then I got that crash dump screen. Anyways, I'm back on root. Thanks for confirming!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] harryrasul:
Hello folks,

I had tried following the steps mentioned in this forum to unlock the bootloader, flash twrp and Root and was able to sucssesfully unlock the bootloader. However, on trying to flash the twrp (2.3 version). my phone kept crashing into twrp crashdump mode, so I tried installing twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.85v2_op6, but on doing so, my phone was just freezing on unlock bootloader screen and wouldn't go any further.

Since the phone seemed to have been soft bricked, I had to use the unbrick method to get the phone back to stock rom and upgraded to android pie. Long story short, I now have a working Oneplus6 with official pie.

What are the exact steps I need to follow to make sure I can install twrp and root on this device. Just want to make sure I don't have the relive the same issues again?

Any help would be appreciated :rolleyes:

Hi, I need help. I have downloaded all the drivers and tools like mentioned in the first post of this thread.

I have done all like mentioned in this thread. I could unblock the bootloader.

But when I want to temporarly boot into twrp, I become a CrashDump window with some technical informations and the normal window from twrp dont open. Then I have to hold for about 5 seconds the power button, then the phone starts normal again.

What is the problem? I use Android 9 and still tried the twrp-version 3.2.2 and 3.2.3. Allways the same result.

Can someone help?

######Solution#######

I found the solution. I temporarly booted in twrp with "twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6.img". Then I made all the rest like mentioned in the tutorial. Because I am not the only one that had this problem, I think it would be helpfull, to mention this in the tutorial with the alternative download link.

A little help please because I am doing something seriously wrong. I am new to the 6 but not one plus and rooting. The problem I am having is restoring nandroids. 3 times now when I have tried to restore them I have ended up booting to fast boot directly after restoring and having no recovery or bootable os on my phone. The process I have taken is to boot recovery wipe system, cache, etc. then restore my backup and reboot. that is all no other steps. any advice will be greatly appreciated

From my understanding restore does NOT work with Android Pie yet thus the reason no official twrp has been released. Bluspark is only to create a backup not restoring
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] harryrasul:
I tried using the same steps as earlier I was encountering the twrp crash dump window as well and my phone got soft bricked as I was probably not using the correct twrp in fastboot or while installling the zip. Either way, I was able to unlock the bootloader and am using the twrp 3.2.3 v 9.86 img for fastboot. Upon doing so, I am unable to install the zip as I am seeing the below files in a weird gibberish format which is not making sense as they should show up as what's in the 2nd pic below :rolleyes:

could someone please advise..
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] matt_simpson:

Hi Everyone,

I`ve OP6 bootloader unlocked with TWRP (Official) but not rooted.

I`ve messed the device while trying to restoring.

Can`t restore data. It stops with an error message "extractTar Fork ( ) process ended with ERROR: 255".

Can`t even copy the stock OOS file into the device (MTP) in TWRP. And it stucks with a black screen with a blue led.

Can access TWRP and Fastboot Mode.

What should I do to make my device functional?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Terrigible:
Try this, might not work

Flash OOS

Flash TWRP

Format Data

EDIT: You will lose all data.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micheal86:
Thanks for your reply.

No issue regarding losing data. Coz there is nothing in my device right now.

But how do I flash OOS in TWRP? Can`t copy anything into the device (MTP is not working).

Does bluespark twrp supports MTP?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fxstone:
Afaik official twrp has mtp disabled because it can lead to kernel panics. I don't kniw if the bluespark one has it enabled. But you should be able to adb push files to your device.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micheal86:
Thanks a lot.

adb helps to flash stock OOS.

BTW, should I need to swipe to modify(in temporary TWRP) before flashing the TWRP Installer zip? Usually, I just enter in TWRP(keep system read only) and then flash TWRP Installer zip.
