Is there a way to make twrp read and write after installing. I booted the image and did not swipe to make modifications. When I flashed the installer I figured the prompt would come up again but it did not. I'm taking it I cannot make backups if it is not read/write. Thanks.

I did the same thing and still got the error. ?

Is that all you did? I can make a backup but I can't do one with data selected because of the error.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] :
Try also renaming the backup.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TheKnux:

I renamed it to f*ckyou without spaces and still got the error when trying to backup data.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] :
my theory is that we never had any of these issues until us T-Mobile users upgraded via local upgrade which in turn flashed our criticals and updated them which have yet to be updated so now it's made that 255 error in TWRP. Try formatting or maybe even just a factory reset don't restore any Google backups and do a fresh install then reflash TWRP and then try to make a backup and restore.I believe updating via local upgrade and not wiping our phone cause some corrupted data to persist and that's why it's giving us a hard time in TWRP
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TheKnux:
Didn't upgrade via local. Converted using fastboot method and then flashed 9.0.7 full zip. Still having the issue.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] :
Yeah me too, that's what we all did, flashing either in TWRP or locally.. something in 9.07 against our TMobile critical firmware, is causing this. I used the tool, started over, flashed 9.06, everything works. Flash 9.07, breaks it
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Giansi:
Right. Please create thread!
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TheKnux:
So everything works on 9.0.6 but not 9.0.7 huh? That's odd. Especially if we both did the fastboot method. I never tried taking a backup while on 9.0.5 (skipped 9.0.6) so I didn't know if it worked or not.

And I'm looking for answering what is wrong with me. I still can't use this TWRP for backup. If something is wrong with my setup I want to know how I can fix it.

Are this TWRP or my setup need a fix to make full backup?

BTW, look to my previous posts...

This recovery is working for all except for backups, unfortunately someone have it works and some other one not. Unfortunately there is no a guide or a procedure to make it works.

The blue spark twrp is made for op6 and not for op6t so you will not able to decrypt your memory with blue spark twrp

Yeah the same questions seem to come up every day. From what I see, this is the best TWRP build this device has right now, so I have no problem waiting for it to improve over time, just takes time man [MENTION=3474509]TomeG2kc[/MENTION]
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] anthony10126:
Maybe this is a dumb question. However I am fairly new to root and have learned so much from all the devs. But won't titanium backup accomplish the same results as far as backing up important and necessary data?? Understand everyone and have patience.. everything we are working with now is unofficial.. give these guys some time. And thanks to all the devs working hard to get all this software out to us so quickly.. it's appreciated greatly..
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TheKnux:
TB only backs up user apps and data, there a chance of hit or miss though with restoring. TWRP always backed up and restored everything correctly for me all the time, that's really the only difference.

[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] MisledMew:
Doing a system update removes root and custom recovery. Bootloader remains unlocked though.

So do I have to install this every time when I get a system update? Or is there any workaround that I'm missing?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] refedit:
No. You can download update from post in forum and install it through TWRP.

You place oos update, TWRP installer and magisk on phones root. Then you flash oos update and right after TWRP installer. You reboot to recovery and flash magisk and that's it. You can reboot system.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TomeG2kc:

I think backup not work for T-Mobile version OP6T.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Giansi:
Titanium backup or any other app like this is ok once You have a bootable system, to restore your app and data, sms, WiFi passwords, call log, Bluetooth pairings, and so on to massively save your time.

The possibility to restore through TWRP a bootable nandroid backup taken through TWRP gives you the chance to play with flashing roms and other modding stuff without to worry if something goes wrong. Because in 10 minutes or less you can restore your nandroid backup to return to the previous working setup.

So this is very nice if you like to play with modding in your device and the same device is your daily driver too.

There is another couple of methods to return to a working state without restoring a nandroid backup through fastboot but at the end You will have a completely blank device, so like the first time You unboxed it. Completely stock and empty. So even if You have a titanium backup, it will take at least 1 hour before You return at the working setup. If You are fast.

If You are new into this,IMHO You should wait for a stable TWRP for backups too. You risk to soft or hard brick your device and then without help You will need to read a lot around here to just hope to fix it.

Another fact that is very confusing for users is the A/B slot system that oneplus choosed for OP6T. A lot of people like me are new to it so before to do something me too think twice because i use my device as daily driver.

Every time I got it I downloaded, applied, rebooted it.

Rebooted second time to be sure it's settled.

It's 9.0.7 with stock recovery and not rooted.

Connect to PC, applied TWRP and Magisk and reboot.

After reboot it's rooted, Magisk is applied but it's 9.0.6.

I know it's something with A/B slots but I've tried reboot to A and applied Magisk, next reboot to B and applied Magisk. But every time I did it I've got 9.0.6

I'm tired, so I'm just going to ask something stupid to clear a bit of semantic confusion I've developed this past moment:

The "installer" is a reference to the version of twrp that automatically flashing itself to both slots, while the non-installer version is just for temporary fastboot use?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] niphoet:
Yes
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] twinnfamous:
Fastboot boot twrp then flash full 9.0.7 rom on both slots. So after its done on 1 switch slots then install again. Then use twrp installer to flash recovery to both slots then flash magisk reboot and if your not rooted go back to twrp and flash again.

It would be nice if we could have a magisk installer flash to both slots.

But we don't have that yet
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] dipole:
Whichever is the img file is the temp one, whichever is the zip is permanent to install from within twrp
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] lollyjay:
Yes you are correct. The installer is a zip file while the .img is to be booted temporarily.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Giansi:
Yes. Img file is just to boot it through fastboot.

Once your are there, with the zip installer already placed on your device, You flash the zip that contains a script that will make it flash on both slots.

So now You have in both slots a boot partition patched with TWRP instead of stock recovery and it doesn't matter which slot is booted, You will always find twrp there if You need.

After this You must flash Magisk zip if not system won't boot. It's not clear for me the reason for this last requirement but that’s it.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TomeG2kc:
Thanks, but how I can flash 9.0.7 on both slots? I've OTA notification, and after installed this OTA update I can't change slots because it's changed recovery to stock...

Quick question for clarification - first a/b device I have owned:

To flash a boot.img in TWRP, is this the procedure?

Download boot.img to device and reboot to TWRP

Tap Install

Tap Install Image

Select the correct boot.img file

Install to Boot Partition

Reboot

Is this the correct procedure and would this indeed wipe TWRP (and Magisk and custom kernel) and replace it with stock recovery upon reboot?

Thanks for your help!

Follow the recommended method that involves to connect again device to pc and use fastboot if you want twrp and root again. There are other methods to do it without a PC but You have to be very careful flashing and reeboting all in the right order.

You need 5 minutes more and to have your pc in front of You, but it's quite safe and easy. IMHO

Bricked?

Tried several times, doesn't turn on.

I was following this guide at first, but things didn't work the way it should. I couldn't access my encrypted files for example. Couldn't find an official TWRP release for the OP6T, so I came here.

Did the same steps from that guide, but with the files from this topic. It was working well at first, did a reboot and everything was still working fine. Did another reboot and now my phone won't turn on anymore.

I'm not very experienced with this, I'm just trying to follow guides.

I know it's my own fault if I messed up my phone.

[edit:]

Omg, it finally turned on again, after trying like 20 more times. And it's also booting up normally.

Probably magisk related..

****, it happened again!

Phone isn't able to turn on again after updating OxygenOS and rebooting for the second time.

Maybe I should reverse everything and send it back, it is still under warranty.

Okay, still not sure what causes this, but it seems like holding all buttons for 15 sec suggested by [MENTION=9036808]TENlll423[/MENTION] actually works.

I only didn't know an OTA update would actually wipe my TWRP, so I had to re-install again. - I was wondering, will the OTA not overwride my TWRP if I reboot to recovery first after the installation and then boot into my system again?
