Hello, I'm new to this thread thingy, but I'm tired of looking through the internet for a way to root my Honor 8 lite 2017.I've been looking for a way to root it for several months now, but no luck. I've found a couple threads on other websites, but I always end up with a problem when it comes to flashing the .img . I always go through this "Waiting recovery Failed: remote command not allowed" Error. Its been bugging me too much.

One more thing, the ADB can't find my device when I type "fastboot devices"

I'm posting this in a hope to find a solution.

Thank you.

Ok so like, I tried everything from here "https://xdaforums.com/8-lite" But I'm stuck at the fastboot devices. It doesn't seem to read my device so I'm having trouble with that still. And the same goes for the "Waiting recovery Failed: remote command not allowed" Error. I don't know what else to do. I tried using the word boot instead of recovery but no dice.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] magnamentis:
did you check this variant: try this post : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76681988&postcount=203

this twrp is blue without extra step and snappy without fix

further with this variant you can flash magisk 16.4 as it always have been from recovery, no need to flash an entire kernel, just flash the zip like for any other device and you'll be rooted.

i found out that wifi only breaks if for whatever reason (user error) someone is booting from the wrong slot.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:
Link not working for me and OP method allows me to flash Magisk

good to know that things develop fast all around, the post is two days old, a lot of time at this stage after device release ;)

if you still read the post in the link you'll see that there's more to it than magisk flashing, it's blue without blue fix and extremely snappy for one

but then again, it's just shared info so everyone has the chance to find max input ;)

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] KnifeFed:
I also successfully booted from this TWRP image and flashed ElementalX + Magisk (without allowing system modifications). Thank you kindly!

Does this mean that if I now were to take an official OTA (full, not partial), from the built-in System Update, I would be back to stock after it has installed?

I could then simply repeat the process of booting from the TWRP image and flashing kernel + root again?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Euphorion:
Hi, I don't have the OP6 yet but I plan to root it with Magisk when I will receive it. Silly question : how to deal with OTA if I use the temporary bootable TWRP method ? Since it leaves stock recovery does this mean that we can simply download OTA from settings, install it and reboot ? Also, like previous post : is root lost after such an update ?

So I finally got out of bootloop, booted up fine, everything seems to work besides wifi. Tried the updated links for twrp still no wifi. Any suggestions?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] joemossjr:

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:
No wifi usually means that you booted to wrong slot. In twrp reboot menu it allows you to select which slot so select the other one (usually b)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mad1111:
So running my first TWRP backup and under Options it mentions Slot A & Slot B. Current Slot selected by default is "B". Do I just leave it as "B" or do I need to choose "A"? I'm still on Stock ROM (Just rooted). This different "Slot" stuff is confusing. LoL

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lrod55:
Hmm, I went through twrp recovery, selected Reboot "current slot selected: b". Changed to A, Oxygen OS wouldn't boot all the way through even after 10-15 minutes. Rebooted to twrp recovery, selected slot B again instead, rebooted, Oxygen OS gets all the way to the lock screen in under 30 seconds. Unlock via pattern, everything seems normal, but still no Wifi. Bluetooth, data, and others work fine. Magisk is installed properly and can pass SafetyNet test. The only thing that seems broken is being able to connect to Wifi. I can toggle it on, but it won't scan for networks and will toggle itself off.

Hey guys, probably this has been asked a zillion times already, but i didn't find through all the posts. having root and flashed twrp using this guide, what is the procedure to update when a new oxygenOS update releases? it's my first oneplus phone. thanks
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
Do I just

fastboot flash boot twrp.img

And that's it?

No need to change slot or flash anything extra (except magisk)?

Same question here. Which update steps if I root with Magisk from temporary bootable TWRP since it leaves stock recovery afterwards?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nemesix_:
I'm stuck after flashing twrp.

I just bought a new phone, unlocked bootloader, installed drivers and then:

fastboot flash boot_a twrp.img

fastboot flash boot_b twrp.img

I used the volume buttons to select reboot to recovery, rebooted to recovery, but my phone is stuck at the loading screen. It displays teamwin Recovery Project 3.2.1-0, but shows no progress, even after 20 minutes.

I looked through several threads but found no solution. What should I do now?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] joemossjr:
Look again because your not supposed to flash it to boot. Your supposed to fastboot boot it

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

It's 2 posts above if you need reference
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nemesix_:
I just tried that, but it doesn't boot after waiting 40 minutes. Nothing...

Does it matter if I ever did:

fastboot flash boot twrp.img ?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] amithiel:
After some research, i guess the instructions are:

- download the update from oneplus

- install it with twrp (don't reboot)

- flash magisk

- reboot to system

i wonder if you also need to flash twrp first. these were the steps i used on my xiaomi mi a1:

- flash update

- flash twrp

- reboot to recovery

- flash magisk

-now reboot to system

we'll wait and see
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] joemossjr:
Yes it does matter the kernel is setup to boot only twrp and if you flashed it it could be reverting what it was imtentiannly supposed to do. Flash stock boot image and try again
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Euphorion:
Yes I will wait for the next update before rooting. It will be clearer.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] KnifeFed:
As I understand it, if you've only used the bootable TWRP image then you can update via the built-in System Update like normal (although you'll get the full image, i.e. 1 GB+, since your bootloader is unlocked). After updating, you can simply boot to the TWRP image again and re-flash Magisk.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:
Yes that's correct.

Cause I'd actually don't like to remove that to get a working twrp.

So no factory reset option with this I see. Can you flash the original full firmware in twrp and then just wipe data? I know I will lose twrp and root but just a way to factory reset/return to stock if we wish.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] SaGaR_:
i needed to redo everything because restore failed. this time i flashed the latest version 3.2.1-3 or something. and it works Just fine and it is blue.

but i don't know if backup and restore works as it should because the whole reason to start from stock was this tarFork something with error 255 so it took me a while to figure out how to flash back stock and start from step 1 again, because at first i somehow managed to flash some stock rom bit wifi didn't work. and after several hours i managed to fix it because I had to find the right fastboot commands with it.

so maybe you could make a post with the steps to reflash or link to a post if possible.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Great job guys! Unfortunately for me it didn't make any sense to flash this Unofficial TWRP, because system restore don't work. But it's very cool see that an unofficial version is already out! Its very interesting what the future will bring for our OP6!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
Hi OP thanks for the tutorial...

I just have a question

Just found a video on YT from Max Lee ,to install twrp onOP6...

If you jump on 5.16 you'll see that he installs the TWRP by

" Fastboot flash boot twrp - 3.2.1. img"

Not to both slots like you mentioned in the OP....

[youtube]LD1OlbfHdwE[/youtube]
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] SaGaR_:
and again I had to try restoring my backup made with 3.2.1-3 at first I was afraid of error again so I only restored system which wasn't the result I hoped for, although it worked. so second try I decided to take the risk (as I'm not at home) I restored boot system and data but I disabled any security options(face, fingerprint, pattern lock) and it gave no errors, so I don't know if the TWRP is just fixed or the thing worked but I restored perfectly.

The only difference I see in this method and the one in the OP is minus 1 step they both initially flash to both slots one is just in TWRP while the other is in terminal/cmd. I tried the recommended TWRP and it broke my wifi and systemui on both slots. I'll just go back to [MENTION=3659125]joemossjr[/MENTION] latest update until the official comes out.

Anyone is welcome to choose what method or version TWRP that is floating around. It's not a pissing contest for me. I just made a separate thread so people won't have to dig for instructions. :cowboy:
