If you have the ramdisk error, you need to reflash the stock boot.img. There's no other way. It's not that big of a deal. You can flash the stock boot.img in EXKM, TWRP or fastboot, your choice.

Yup, the early Magisk 18 version was the culprit and I got to flash the stock boot image too. Afterwards it was no problem to flash 3.08 and then the fixed Magisk 18 again.

I always reflash the stock boot image when upgrading Magisk or kernels. Easy way to clean up and start fresh. Just have to remember to reflash everything before rebooting.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] kgkjvlll:
The same problem I encountered. You can try to reflash twrp, magisk18.0, then you can flash 3.0.8 successfully.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
you can do that but it's definitely overkill and beares some risk and zero benefits.

so many posts about nothing while nobody ever mentioned (didn't see it) to flash recovery again, that for one is not overkill but necessary to keep TWRP recovery.

however this is the first or second time in years that flashing stock boot was needed to fix something, hence it's only adding to newcomer's confusion to even mention it as a general habit, just to stick out, and then we have that problem to repeat the fact that it's not necessary for the years to come.

i remember dozens of such things that stuck to noobs minds and were so hard to get out of them, not even talking about all those who would post about getting stuck with white LED blinking or on that famous warning message screen after forgetting to flash recovery or flashing in a false order otherwise.

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
choose performance mode while to ask for a boost in smoothness with this device/hardware on stock is a bit of a joke.

if you have issues with smoothness it's neither a kernel setting issue nor a stock rom issue but something else. this device with stock as well as with stock kerne and EX-Default settings is blazing fast and buttery smooth indeed, there must be something else that spoils experience in case it's not as should be.

first thing to do is to:

- search the thread for "set on boot" or "apply on boot" or similar terms, profit

in addition to that you can search on google, profit

and last but no least one should:

- follow the thread

- read at least the last and and the first 20 pages, profit

very last thing is this:

what i wrote is to make things easier for everyone not to blame anyone for the sake of it, no worries, hence what interest me most is whether you found your answer among the linked search results or if you need assistance.

if so you can send P.M. except if you believe that your case is new or special.

to make shorten the process here a few hints and tips:

check battery saver and battery optimiation settings

- EXKM should be set to "Not Optimized"

- Battery Saver should not be active

report back how it went so we know it's resolved and eventually can provide more possible solutions.

Hey, I have problem with ramdisk error when updating ex to 3.08 version. I flash full stock oos, and then go flash recovery temporary with .img file, then boot into recovery and install recovery from .zip, reboot to recovery and it reboot to stock recovery.. like I dont installed blu spark's. I dont know what to do, I figure out that my recovery propably install only on slot B, and when I change to slot A and want to install .zip in slot A I have error "unpacking ramdisk failed". Dunno what to do know..

/and when I change to slot A blu spark's recovery working (recovery to blu spark's, not stock recovery like in slot B) but I cant install kernel because of that ramdisk error. I can install Magisk.

/where I can find 3.07 version? I want to try with that.

/now I can see I have 3.07 installed, but I dont installed it after back to stock ROM, dunno how it possible :o uff, im staying with 3.07 till ramdisk error will be solved.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] jmtjr278:
Afaik ramdisk error is fixed. Just redownload magisk 18. The dev posted a new version of 18 that address this issue.

Then go to recovery

Flash oos and TWRP

Reboot to recovery

Flash oos and TWRP

Reboot to recovery

Flash ex kernel, magisk, ex kernel again.

Profit!

Let me know if this helps

I cant install TWRP, I have ramdisk error.. I have something mess with slot A and slot B in recovery... how I can repair this without losing my files?

I can only install TWRP on slot A, when I install in slot B install is successful but TWRP didnt work.

I wiped data and still have the problem. I must manual change to A slot and only then recovery working.. but in slot A I cant install kernel because of ramdisk error.

/I flash kernel, not TWRP :D kill me please!!!

True but if your flashing factory image to both slots you do need to flash twice as described in my method above. Good call.

Forgive me, I have been reading along because I cannot update via getting the Ramdisk thing. I am on Exk 3.77.

Lots of the responses are crossing paths or not agreeing with each other. My head is spinning.

I am not new to Root & ROM'ing, flashing, ADB work, or Terminal Emulator, but am new to the A/B, and Magisk but managed to Root my OP6.

The above said I cannot find what happens when the bootimage is flashed. Do I loose my installed apps, data, settings?

i was referring to twrp only and didn't mention factory image which needs to be flashed to both slots coming from Oreo or elsewhere to get the firmware right, hence it's exactly as you say of course ;)

---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 AM ----------

i did not find too much contradiction in here, it's more about understanding terms and that some things are not either or but as well as ;)

the boot.img is the kernel + newly on A/B devices it contains the recovery.

this self-evidently means that the stock boot.img comes with stock recovery, without root and the stock kernel.

that again translates to:

- you want twrp, you have to re-flash it after each rom update or stock boot.img flash

- you want root, you have to re-flash magisk after each rom update and/or boot.img flash

- you want a custom kernel like ElementalX, you have to re-flash it after each rom-update and/or boot.img flash

there are various ways to fash twrp depending on your current state, you can flash the img via fastboot or and install the zip thereafter or you can flash the zip directly before first boot with updated boot partition or you can fastboot boot boot.img instead of fastboot flash boot.img and flash the zip once booted into recovery.

all this is not contradictory but are different ways to achieve the same goal.

important to know is that since recovery is in the boot partition now and not in a recovery partition like before, you have to flash twrp each time once you flash something that "overwrites" boot partition.

this is not the case with this kernel that uses anykernel2 to inject the kernel into existing ramdisk, also once you flashed magisk it won't overwrite anything else, means you keep recovery and kernel.

only thing i recommend but not absolutely mandatory is to flash magisk and kernel in two steps and boot into recovery in between. there is a minor risk that something brakes otherwise but as i said, minor, it's happening very rarely, once for me in hundreds of flashes.

hope you got the key point, no confusion necessary because many roads lead to rome ;)

Hi guys. Sorry for the query but, could I install ElementalX over Omnirom custom rom bluspark kernel with?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Cablespider:
I wouldn't. Perform a dirty flash procedure. Boot up to make sure all is well, and then proceed to upgrade to EX. If you're using a kernel manager, and tweaked the custom kernel, make sure to clear the app before starting the process.

Sorry but I don't understand very well the meaning of the first 2 row of your post. I have ex manager and I mount the Blu spark kernel. No tweak about kernel. Only 2 magisk module for camera and Ubuntu font. Then can I flash directly by ex manager? Do I must reflash the ROM to get the original kernel? What do u means writing boot up to make sure?

I have the same as you see
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Cablespider:
Yes, dirty flash the ROM for the original kernel. There is a procedure for dirty flashing. It's not as simple as just flashing the ROM. There may be other methods but I only know of this way. Maybe someone else can chime in for an easier method. Then again, you may know this already. I don't know what your experience level is, so I spelled it out a bit.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] sgroimax:
I am able to perform both methods. So I will wait the new rom release weekly, updating it, I will get original kernel because of flash. Then I can flash the new kernel ElementalX on it.

At the end I can wait for Sunday and avoid noisy procedures that could defeat the ROM stability. Have a good night bro

Note: the most important thing is that this kernel can be flashed on custom Tom and not only oos or ob rom
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] frezd:
Great Kernel !
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Cablespider:
Oh my. I unintentionally misled you. This kernel is only for OOS. Sorry about the confusion. I glanced over the fact that you are running Omni. Again, I apologize.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
a) backup boot partition in twrp

b) flash default kernel or rom

c) flash elementalX, it will be trial and error because the kernel is for OOS only hence it depends how much omni changed the kernel

d) if it does not boot revert back to twrp and restore boot partition and you're good to go.

for your informantion i tested all partitions to backup and restore and had a fully functional device by restoring from nandroid backups on an empty device as well as in parts, only exception i know about would be to use older or wrong twrp (use blue_spark's) and/or if someone is using or has used parallels apps.

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
betas are on an older base becasue betas have been around BEFORE stable, what's newer on the betas are the changes to the ROM/OS however

Hi Guyz,

I am having issue with the latest stable kernel. Nothing special on my conf. I can be workint well for couple hours and of a sudden I noticed my battery draining a little bit faster than usual. 2x as much. Still some deep sleep but stuck at one frequency.

Did someone already face the sale issue?

Screenshot attached. Really weird as it worked for like 7 hours normally.

Thanks for your help.

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Roger.T:
Use kernel 3.09 for both..

No problems with that.

v2 was for the first betas before the stable pie was published.

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
a) no such issue

b) it's not kernel related, the earlier you understand that the earlier you can search the culprit in the right place that is user space, apps, settings and . setup as well as combinations of those.

use a battery monitoring app of quality to monitor battery usage by app/consumer and time to find the culprit.

all above is only certain if you didn't change relevant kernel settings, be it on purpose or by accident, means of course one can tweak the kernel the way that it would become a battery hog ;) while i assume from your post that this is not the case, at least not knowingly.

Do you mean putting the ota full OOS 5.1.5 zip on sdcard and doing a local update? Would that put it back to factory? or do you mean flashing the fastboot flash-all.bat?

2. In twrp settings I unticked the "use sha-2 hash" setting and viola it's now working.

Question is, will it keep root or is it fragile. Thanks for those who helped.

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Lownita:
I tried many different CPU and GPU governors and io schedulers, but it's still happening to some extend. At this point it might even be oos. I'm used to omnirom on my old op3, maybe I'm just expecting too much from this stock rom :silly:

IMHO the best way to recreate it is to open an app, wait a bit without touching the screen and then pressing the back button or gesture. Most of the times the animation will be smooth, sometimes it just stutters.

In Ex settings app, there is a setting that controls the intensity of the LED notification light. It's set at "0" system default but takes values to increase it. Question is, what does the scale go upto?? 0-5 or 0-10. It doesn't give any indication. :)

xXx NoLimits currently comes without kernel or Magisk to stay as generic as possible. Yes, there are kernel tweaks included but that's just applied during boot to change some settings for that session.

The reason why the other guy had a bootloop after flashing the ElementalX kernel was that he forgot to flash Magisk again after patching the kernel.
