Yes. The first is for custom roms and the second for stock ROM(OOS). Both kernels are for Android Pie. For root you need Magisk.

I have the the last hydrogen ROM, B7 if I ain't wrong, what should I use the second one?

Before to flash them I have to boot this file to flash the blu_spark_twrp, haven't I?

Hi people, dont want to bug you, but I have the following situation: I have installed Oxygen 9 and I am not happy with the standby power consumption. Because of that, I am thinking about send the device back. Today I saw on the page of oneplus, that the beta 4 is optimized for this (changelog).

So I would give the beta 4 a try and would like to install it. What have I to take care about, when doing this? I have unlocked bootloader, and installed TWRP 3.2.3 enchilada and Magisk 17.2.

What should I do? First completely unlock the phone and make backup, that is sure. But then, go to TWRP and from there install the new version or directly from fastboot? Or better install it on the storage and then install it from the system?

In my Xiaomi Mi5 pro I installed it with a tool from Xiaomi called MiFlash, it was easy. How to do with OnePlus 6? And is it right, that the installed TWRP is gone and I have to install it again?

Would be kind, if someone could help me out with this. Regards.

Thx for this awesome tutorial
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] xdaerdeve:
Hi,

everything was good, now I have the beta 4 and the standby battery consumption is awesome :) What a difference.

But if someone wants to do the same (downgrade/update from stable to beta) he should know, that after that, there are many problems. In my case when I charged my phone, all the time the faceunlock mechanism poped up and in about 4 minutes there was about 9 % of the power gone. And the device was in the back very hot.

And the sim cards didnt activate. Allways on/of and nothing more. Then I made factory reset and after that, everything is like it should :)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] KuBi4K:
Hello guys,

I just noticed there was a small change to this tutorial with Android Pie on the 1+6: now we don't have to use the "normal" TWRP, but the BlueSpark one instead

(disapearance of the advanced recovery menu on OOS)

So, before this, we had to:

- ADB fastboot boot the twrp-X.X.X-X-blabla.img file

- When done and after the phone reboot in recovery,

- install the twrp-installer-X.X.X-X-blabla.zip, then

- install Magisk zip file.​

I have done this month ago when I got my 1+6

Now, I understood the following: I have to:

- ADB fastboot boot the twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6.img

- When done and after the phone reboot in recovery,

- blu_spark_r46-oos-pie_op6_db66900.zip (I have the stock OOS), then

- install Magisk zip file.​

Is that right ?

Does the new Blu-Spark TWRP replace the old one ? Or did I miss something ?

Because I did this, img file was installed OK, phone booted in recovery (I can see the bluespark flashy fonts & icons), then I installed the 2 Zip files

Phone rebooted: yaaaay, I'm root!

But I can't reboot in recovery.

If I press Vol+ and power, my phone boots in Fastboot and proposes: Start, Restart Boot Loader, Recovery Mode, Power Off.

Selecting Revovery reboot the phone and I'm proposed the menu with 3 entries (2 in chinese, so I selected Englist), then "reboot to fastboot" or "Reboot to receovery"

=> "Reboot to fastboot" brings me back to Start, Restart Boot Loader, Recovery Mode, Power Off.

=> "Reboot to recovery" brings me back to the menu I'm coming from (2 entries in chinese + 1 in english)

If I start my phone by pressing Vol- and power, my phone boots and proposes: I have the menu with 3 entries (2 in chinese, so I selected Englist), then "reboot to fastboot" or "Reboot to recovery"

See above.

So: I can't access the TWRP recovery.

The phone is working fine, but no Recovery :/

EDIT: I had the "normal" TWRP before installling the OOS 9 update.

Hello Guys, just a question:

I haven't yet installed last android version, i'm back to Android Oreo 8.1.0 .

Nothing has changed about root process?

I mean.. after upgrade to the new version, what i have to do is just the same process as before, just choosing updated files?

- Official TWRP or Blue Spark Twrp? (what's the difference?)

- Magisk

Please let me know.. i want avoid any issue :D

Thanks in advance
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] opteron88:
Blue Spark Twrp is the newer version.

Coming from hos stock 5.1.14,

fastboot boot the twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6.img doesn't work for some reason.

luckily flashing twrp-3.2.3-0-enchilada.img works

Magisk 17.3 is also failing, used 17.1.

How back to stock OOS from custom rom?

Hi guys,

i need help for my situation:

i'd like to know what is the correct procedure for re-install the stock OOS from a custom rom situation?

this question because every time i try , i brick my phone and i need to use msmtool...

What i have done:

i was on Havoc, rooted and blue_twrp

full wiped (cache's, data and system)

installed Full 9.0 OTA+ twrp on slot A

rebooted to twrp

installed again Full 9.0 OTA+ twrp on slot B

installed magisk

rebooted to system...

keep boot on recovery and also i canno't decrypt sdcard because twrp doen't ask me the pin....

for the PIN i saw, i should have removed that before starting the procedure,inside Havoc...that's my fault

for the 9.0 OTA re-install, i don't knw what i do wrong...

any help?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] yldlj:
Format data, not wipe.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vivmar:
so, just the Data and not the system or caches...

even if i change from a custom rom to another one i have to wipe just data?

thanks
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] yldlj:
No your misunderstanding. You need to format data, NOT Wipe there's a difference. Then before flashing ROM do a normal wipe.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vivmar:
oh,

how can i format data, via twrp? which filesystem?

EDIT: just saw on TWRP under wipe menu the "format data"comand

so i do this before starting with wipes....right? every change of rom
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] yldlj:
Yes but remember that formatting data will erase internal sd card so you will need to place the ROM, twrp and magisk zips with OTG or MTP after format.

Quick question, what do you lose when you unlock the bootloader on the OP6?

My first OP phone and I had an Xperia Z5C and you lose sony image processing and some more things I cant remember when you unlock the bootloader.

Can be restored by a TA partition restore though.

In oneplus' case is it the same? Is there a need to backup before everything else, like the TA partition or something?

I know the phone resets to factory when you unlock but besides that, what happens after bootloader unlock?

Thanks!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dobi3:
Once you unlock bootloader... Everything on ur phone will be wiped.. So backup all data from storage that you don't want to lose.. All this info in the OP

Question:

After unlocking bootloader, doing a fastboot boot into blu_spark.img and installing the blu_spark twrp and OP6 OTA full on both slots (A/B) and rebooting, i'm never able to get the phone to reboot into twrp after selecting reboot recovery. It always boots into stock recovery. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks for the help!

Edit: NVM. I believe I solved my issue. Its unclear from the download link for blu_spark but some are kernel and some are actually twrp. I think ive been flashing the kernel thinking i've been flashing twrp. Therefore, it reboots into stock recovery when I tell it to reboot recovery.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] rwhryz:
Thanks! I am aware about the wipe everying after unlock.

What I want to know is if there would be Oneplus features that will be disabled because of the unlocking.

With xperia z5compact, unlocking the bootloader, you lose some image processing capabilities by sony, mobile bravia engine, you cant use some sony apps as well and more if i remember correctly.

Basically my oneplus is new and I dont really mind the wipe.

What I would like to know is if there are features that I might lose if I unlock.

Folks, sorry to come back to the TWRP issue.

I used the wrong official TWRP in the first step. I then found the solution to use Blu Spark. I did so and am facing the following problem:

After booting into the correct TWRP I flash the "blu_spark_r49-custom-pie_op6_b1a7cd4.zip" and reboot with Vol- and Power on to the recovery. (Funnyly I haven't found any position in the settings to adjust to extended boot)

Whatever I try: I am always stuck in the "Old wrong official TRWP" where I only can choose English, wipe but can nothing install.

Thanks for an idea...

I think I found that I downed thr wrong zip version.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DevisG79:
blu_spark_r49-custom-pie is a custom kernel and not for OOS. If you want the blu spark TWRP you have to choose the blu spark TWRP v9.86.zip

Hi everyone,

In case when "OEM unlock" setting's option is set to false, is it possible to Root, change custom OS, of the phone, let say in case of stolen phone with a google account on it?

If so, chow could I secure bootloader access with a password or special Flag (even though this would disclose a security hole) and is it possible to prevent data leakage through encryption, even after Root/Os change?

Your answers will be greatly appreciated :)

Hey guys,

usually I update manually via twrp. I'm on a rooted device with twrp bluespark. This time the Ota of 9.0.2 downloaded and installed itself. I forgot to switch the auto update off.

So what's the best thing to keep twrp und magisk?

I haven't rebooted yet. So I could reboot, be on 9.0. 2 afterwards and lost twrp and root. So I have to fastboot twrp and flash it again.

Or could I reboot in twrp now (which should be still there because I haven't rebooted yet) and flash twrp and magisk again. Then reboot.

Hope u know what I'm trying to say :D

Yes, with the command from op, on MSM post.

- Android with yellow triangle with the phone off. No driver instaled.

Also i use Adb fastboot 1.4.3. Is this old?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
Since you had to uninstall driver for msm tool you may need to update the USB driver through sdk manager. Also update fastboot to latest version. You could try and manually updating the driver. The yellow triangle means the driver doesn't work obviously.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Yes that should be ok provided the twrp is compatible and supports the boot command without flashing it.

Generally official TWRP come late for OnePlus Devices and the unofficial ones sometimes do not support the boot command initially.
