Could be a corrupt download file. I suggest you do the following.....

Re-download the file and check it's good using an MD5 checker app/tool. Then, boot your phone into bootloader (fastboot) mode by powering off first and then pressing and holding the vol up button.

Then follow steps 4-to-10 in my guide for installing (1st) temporary twrp and then (2nd) permanent twrp. Once you have permanent twrp and are booted into it you should then copy the "new" download zip for the OTA that you md5 checked from your PC onto the root of your sdcard and install it by flashing the zip file in twrp. Now you should reboot to system which will change the active slot to the updated OOS you just flashed and then if you want boot back into recovery to flash a custom kernel (if you so wish) and Magisk root zip (again if you so wish).

Followed the procedure: Installed EX Kernel as well. Now I'm getting a popup message after every reboot: There's an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details.

No issues as such but I'm getting this message everytime I reboot. Any suggestions?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlos67:
Completely normal when running a custom kernel - just ignore it. Don't worry about it. I get it too running Flar2's kernel. It doesn't affect the phone in any way. Your good to go :good:
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] G0dofWar:
If you are rooted and haven't installed twrp and want to update your device to 5.1.6 then this is the time to install official twrp recovery through pc

Before flashing just copy magisk 16.4 zip, twrp official flash able zip (twrp-installer-enchilada-3.2.1-0.zip )and ofcourse Zip of Rom (OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_010_all_1806070151_ad8b19ed516e78.zip)

1) flash twrp official recovery through pc (flashtool)

2) go to recovery

3) flash OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_010_all_1806070151_ad8b19ed516e78.zip

3) flash recovery twrp-installer-enchilada-3.2.1-0.zip

4) reboot to recovery

5) flash magisk 16.4

Done.

You are now updated to latest version of oxygen os 5.1.6.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ptoner:
Worked fine for me, thank you. I now have 2 Magisk Manager apps though... which one is which?

Also banking apps are now seeing the root. :(
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlos67:
uninstall one of the magisk apps and in the remaining one, hide the app in magisk hide list. Is it passing both safetynet tests (2 green ticks?)?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ptoner:
Cheers, uninstalled one and then did the above. Sweet as a nut. Thanks

Will following this guide wipe my phone? I want to upgrade to 5.1.6 but I also don't want to have to set up my phone all over again. I just got done setting it up lol.

Thanks!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iElvis:
It will not wipe data, but you will lose root, which is why you have to reflash magisk once you're updated and twrp is reinstalled.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlos67:
Correct, won't wipe data.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] nightfury04:
Hi... Just one dumb question... So if in future any update comes say 5.1.7 and I have this official permanent twrp installed. And then I download full stock rom and flash it via twrp will I loose my data??

I understand that after flashing full stock rom I will loose my recovery as boot partition gets flashed and have to reinstall. Also magisk needs to be flashed again.

My concern is whether the data partition remains untouched??
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlos67:
No. Data won't be touched. Oneplus are not going to expect everyone to set up their phones from scratch everytime there is an OTA update.

You are right about boot/recovery though. Will need to be re-flashed after every official update along with custom kernel (if you use one) followed by Magisk (again if you need root).

But, this only takes seconds so not a problem.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] grinch247:
Is there a reason I lose wifi when rooting? Do we not have to flash both a and b?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
No , just read the instructions in the OP
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sand_man:
Noob question here, but this guide was written for noobs. When I flash the permanent TWRP I get a prompt asking which partition to install to, 1.) boot 2.) system image 3.) vendor image... am I correct in assuming the correct answer is system image?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlos67:
If you followed the steps in the OP exactly you would not be having to make such a choice.

You need to flash the twrp zip file NOT the twrp img file.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sand_man:
Yeah, correct. My bad. Doing my absolute best to brick my 1 day old OP6... :silly:

Another assumption, the TWRP we need is from the official site and code named enchilada?

The fastboot TWRP image by the same name and same source?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] grinch247:
Worked flawlessly ???
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iElvis:
n/m, I see the issue is fixed. :p
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kailashnj:
This is a very good guide and should be good for all noob. But I am already on the 5.1.6 through an OTA and no root till now and everything stock.

Phone is 5 day old. So reading your guide, I can skip the step where I upgrade to 5.1.6 and then continue with the rest of the steps.

I need to first also complete the OEM unlock too correct ?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sand_man:
Wiping dalvik cache and system put's me in a state of soft brick.

I have to fastboot stock rom to recover.

This has been a bit of a grind for me. Not having fun.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlos67:
You first need to unlock your bootloader (fastboot oem unlock) but this WILL wipe all of your data (including sdcard) so beware of this :eek:.

Once you have unlocked your bootloader, reboot your phone and make sure that oem unlocking, usb debugging and advanced reboot options are selected in developer options in settings (unlocking bootloader will revert these back to default so you have to set them again)

Then reboot to bootloader and start from step 3 in my guide to install temporary twrp, then permanent twrp and finally flash the Magisk root zip.

Reboot and your good to go.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlos67:
If you can enter bootloader(fastboot) mode

You could try just flashing the system.img for the version of Oxygen OS you are currently on from fastboot. Find out first which is the active slot in fastboot (not sure what the command is but it'll be on xda somewhere, just search) and then issue the command fastboot flash system_a (or system_b??) system.img (where a or b is the currently active partition). Then reboot to system.

That should work. You'd have to find the system.img file though.

This would be quicker and easier than starting from scratch
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sand_man:
Thanks for that. I'll give it a try next time I'm having issues. As long as I don't wipe system in TWRP it's stable.

This seems to be a lot more finnicky than root on the 5T is.

This here has saved my bacon about half a dozen times tonight already.

Hello.

Can anyone explain to me what is going on with these slots a and b? I uploaded twrp according to this tutorial, I have root, xposed and ex Kernel but I did not make any slots changes ...
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kailashnj:
Hi [MENTION=3116537]carlos67[/MENTION]

I was able to follow all the instructions and get both root as well as twrp installed. Thanks a lot for the help.

Only question, every time I restart the phone, I get a warning

Bootloader is unlocked and hence cannot gaurantee etc...

Do we need to lock the boot loader again ?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Its not really a good idea to lock the bootloader if you have modified the system image. It can cause all sorts of problems. I would only ever re-lock if I did a full wipe and flash a stock official rom.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kailashnj:
Thanks for the reply, so do we have to live with the warning that we get at every restart?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
I believe so yes. It has been a while since I unlocked a phone, but dont think there is a way around it.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iElvis:
I have been looking into this without much success because I want to install a custom splash and that warning overlays the splash screen.

There are ways to do it on other phones, but it involves editing the bootloader. With the A/B partitions and other firmware changes on this phone, I am very hesitant to muck around with that stuff. I have confirmed that it is at least not a replacement splash screen - it's not one of the splash graphics in the logo partition. So far I haven't found where it is.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kailashnj:
So what's the best way to revert to company settings with locked bootloader as I am not liking the alert everytime the phone is restarted. It keeps on reminding you that your phone can be compromised.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iElvis:
I don't recommend re-locking modified phones, but if you flash one of the stock OS packages, that will remove twrp and root and take you back to stock. You MUST NOT attempt to relock unless your phone is 100% stock, as doing so may result in a brick.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sand_man:
Seems 5.1.6 has been pulled due to stability issues.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] nightfury04:
Hi... I am currently on 5.1.6 on my OP6 and rooted without TWRP using patched boot img and flashing magisk from magisk app.. Now if I install twrp do I have to flash magisk again in twrp or not as I already have masgisk now. Would flashing just the permanent twrp be enough??
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] A.Priori:
Started out unlocked on 5.16 but after unlocking etc, rebooting with the installed twrp is resulting in the phone being stuck in the graphic spinning. Any ideas?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iElvis:
Did you flash magisk after twrp? Forgetting to do that is the most common cause of bootlooping with this.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] A.Priori:
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I did flash 16.4 and it's still looping as I type.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iElvis:
Try starting over and be especially careful to follow all the steps exactly. I've found sometimes on these guides I'll misread something and not realize it until I've been beating my head against the wall wondering what is going wrong.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] A.Priori:
I might try magisk 16.0 this time.

edit: Got it working fine.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlos67:
Well, just try it because if magisk root is lost you can always just re-flash the magisk root zip in your newly installed twrp.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] The-Droidster:
Hi,

How do I update a rooted OnePlus 6 to the latest OTA 5.1.8?

My setup is as follows:

0. Device: OnePlus 6 A6003 Running OOS 5.1.6

1. Bootloader unlocked

2. Official TWRP installed - 3.2.1-0

3. Rooted with magisk (16.4) + installed a few modules like viper4android etc

4. Custom Kernel : ElementalX 1.05

4. Current active partition A

What is the best way/sequence to upgrade to 5.1.8 from 5.1.6 while also keeping twrp, magisk(+ all modules) and elementalX? I'm new to oneplus devices and the A/B partitioning model. Let me know if you need any additional info.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] old_fart:
I think twrp was tweaked this last week in that when i installed it ( last night ) it said in the log that it wrote to both partition 'A' -and- partition 'B'.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] nightfury04:
I just updated my OP6 via twrp.. But I was mostly stock with magisk..

For u i am pretty sure the sequence will be:

1) Download full rom(u can use Oxygen Updater for this)

2) Go to twrp

3) Just install the full rom you just downloaded.

4)(OPTIONAL) Flash custom kernel if u need it.

4) Flash twrp installer zip again to retain your twrp.

5) Flash magisk again to keep root.

6) Reboot and enjoy!

Once booted just check if u have root. If not flash magisk again. I had to boot again to twrp to flash magisk again as I couldn't see root somehow . By the way I qued up all the zips. You can install them one by one in the sequence told above.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] roniistar:
By following this method, I will lose all the data right?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iElvis:
The official download does not wipe data.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] roniistar:
So flashing the downloaded ROM through twrp will not delete all the apps and pictures etc right?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:
Will not erase internal storage.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] roniistar:
Thanks
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:
If you have Official TWRP already installed, I have personally tested the following as long as you have twrp-installer-enchilada-3.2.1-0.zip on your phone:

Download full (not incremental) OOS ROM to your phone and check MD5 https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3792244

Reboot to your installed TWRP

Install the OOS ROM

Do not reboot instead stay in TWRP

Install twrp-installer-enchilada-3.2.1-0.zip

Reboot Recovery

Install Magisk if you wish to keep root

Wipe cache

Reboot System to active slot

Cant go to "settings>system updates"?

Hi, I have problems with: "Go to settings>system updates and click the gear icon in the top right and choose local upgrade", because as soon as I open the updater settings, a window is popping up saying that it will download and install the full update because I have root? From there, I have no other option than to hit "OK", or to go to the app history and kill the settings app.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iElvis:
Why is that a problem? You have to install the full update once you root. Installing the incremental update could brick your phone.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] CoffeeMachineSwitch:
Well, I might overlook something, but I can not hit the gear icon (that is needed to select the local update file), as this window is popping up. I assume when I accept "OK" in the window, it will start downloading the update file again?

Thanks for helping me out
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] RusherDude:
One question about this. Yes, it should download a full OTA if you're rooted and so.. but how does the installer determine if you're rooted? if you have MagiskHide and all apps think you're not rooted, will the OTA installer be able to determine you're rooted and so? or it won't detect it either? that's a bootloop scenario if it installs a incremental OTA because MagiskHide hides it..
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iElvis:
Ah, apologies, I see what you meant in the first post. I'm not sure how to dismiss that update dialog and choose Local Update, as this hasn't happened to me. Maybe someone else knows.

If you hide System Updater in Magisk, yes it will think you're stock and download the incremental update. For obvious reasons, you shouldn't do that.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] RusherDude:
But MagiskHide works automatically with all apps, I mean I didn't do anything specifically for any app and they all work. How to "disable" it for system updater, or better said, "not hide" it?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iElvis:
Magisk doesn't automatically hide root from all apps. I'm talking about the app list that comes up when you select Magisk Hide in the manager app. Don't select the system updater in that list.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] RusherDude:
It does automatically hide root from all app for me at least, and in the Magisk section someone told me this is normal. At least all the apps I want work without tickling the option in the MagiskHide section (nothing selected there).

The only thing I can trust on is just disabling MagisckHide globaly when going to update, if I remember..
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] CoffeeMachineSwitch:
I figured it out, thanks: when you hit the gear icon immediately after entering the update settings, within a fraction of a second, the menu for local update appears. The update dialog will then still pop up, but it has worked for me to select the zip and to the update.

Rest has worked flawless with 5.1.11 and Magisk 16.0 as in the instructions in this post. All data preserved.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iElvis:
As long as you don't have System Updater checked in that list, you're fine.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] RusherDude:
Hmm I see, so these are special and must be ticked, thanks!.

PS: Any way to try if this works without actually updating? If I understood it well..

- When trying to apply a local upgrade, even 5.1.11 over 5.1.11, it should tell me im rooted before installing/downloading right?

- When 5.1.12 or whatever comes out, same scenario, it should tell me im rooted and that it has to install the full rom right?

Thanks!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iElvis:
If you use the System Updater, yes, it will indeed throw up a message that root has been detected and the full rom is being downloaded. Where I've seen people get into trouble is they see that, think "No way! Why do I have to download the whole thing?," then hide root from System Updater so they can download only the incremental update. Basically, it takes some deliberate effort to cause this problem.

If you have the full OOS file already on your phone, it's not a concern since there's no risk of applying the incremental update.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] RusherDude:
Good to hear. Thanks!

[Honor 10 Questions & Answers] thorpe1992:
Hi All, I got my honor 10 yesterday and been happy with it so far and still exploring all the features.

As I start to transfer my apps from my old phone I noticed snapchat doesn't resize correctly with the notch along the top. So if you hide the notch, the snap chat menu still goes up so you can only see half the buttons (half on the screen, half off because the notch is blacked out.

With the notch on, you can see the buttons ok. I also noticed, if somebody has a long name or puts text along the top of their snapchat, the notch hides it. It appears to do this with the notch on or off and both in full screen mode and not.

Just wondering if anybody else has experienced it with any other apps and if there is a way round it. I personally prefer to have the notch disabled.

See picture, as you can see, the top buttons and hello message is cut off with the notch.
[Honor 10 Questions & Answers] theleosanjaya:
you should try updating the emui software, it helps with the notch (on instagram, haven't tried snapchat) using the on screen navigation buttons helps resizing as well
[Honor 10 Questions & Answers] thorpe1992:
I am fully up to date. Upon further usage, I noticed it happens in other apps too. Instagram is actually a lot worse. It resizes length ways ok however not the correct size width ways. Most notably on stories so you can't see the first left and end right part. Looking online there's a lot of people complaining from Huawei and Samsung users (dating almost 3/4 months ago)

It appears to be an issue with the higher resolution android phones which app developers have been slow to fix. Hopefully, phone and app developers will come up with some kind of fix soon. Quite annoying as everything works flawlessly on iphones
