It's sounds like there's still some things might not be clear to you. But with time it will.

There's nothing at all wrong with DL the full rom and flashing it within the local updater section of system update. If it's a first time, you can reboot and be stock for a tick. Then fastboot flash the twrp image. Reboot into twrp to flash twrp again on both slots. The flash magisk. Mostly works for me.

Sometimes the twrps don't exactly know the new rom version architecture first up, and the ROM doesn't quite flash right.

On next rom update - update via local update, don't reboot, get into magisk manager, flash a/b retention script, stay in magisk install magisk again (select the install after ota option). Magisk will then force reboot the other slot and you'll be away. This always works for rom updates for me. Learn how to do it and you'll be very pleased once you have it sorted in your head.

Keep at it. It gets easier.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hateislove:
First of all, local update or OTA never worked for me. It always failed for some reason. Even on a complete stock, unrooted ROM. That is the reason I chose to use fastboot. When it DID work, I used the magisk retention script to update every time. For some reason it just never worked for me since Android 10. I hope someone has a solution for that.

I'm facing some problems and hope someone here can help. At first everything was working fine. The problem started after I installed f droid privileged module the device started bootlooping into fastboot.

I uninstalled magisk by flashing the uninstaller to fix the problem, but now when I try to install Magisk again the problem returns.

I checked the folder data / adb / modules folder to see if there are any leftovers but the folder is empty.

Please help.

Just used this guide to update from 9.0.9 to 10.3.1 with magisk and twrp. It worked perfectly, thanks for the clear instruction ;)

Edit: 1 question, do I need to keep the twrp retention module activated/installed now that i'm running 10.3.1?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
The TWRP Retention Module is only used to reinstall TWRP in the inactive slot. It won't show up in your modules after you use it.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] akboy7015:
In my case it was still listed in modules list after reboot, so I removed it an rebooted to apply change. I rebooted again in recovery to check it's availability and all was good
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dumbl3:
Yeah it's still there, I will try and remove it and see what happens..

Edit; I removed it, everything is working fine with twrp :svetius:
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lm089:
To clarify: the retention script comes as a module but you only run it right after an Ota update. It's purpose basically is to make sure that still have a working Twrp *after* the Rom update is installed to the inactive slot. Other than that you can simply ignore it, as it shouldn't do anything between updates
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] thugslug:
It's only recently I've started noticing the script in the list of modules in magisk. It never used to appear there after you used it. Dunno why the change. I just ignore it and all's fine.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lm089:
Strange indeed, just looked it up, and now in Magisk's Module view I see an entry I've never noticed before, just labelled "twrp-keep". Apart from that there's no info given at all.

Looking at /data/adb/modules/ I indeed see an equally labelled empty folder. Some leftover from my last update, I assume...
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ired17:

Hello friends, I'm trying to get TWRP installed on my 6T with oos10.3.1. Currently unlocked but not rooted. I can fastboot the twrp.img fine, but all of my storage is encrypted and I'm not given the option to enter a password like usual. Anything I can do? Would like to get it working without having to wipe if possible. Thanks!

Weird issue

I updated from 10.3.1 to 10.3.2 using the Section B method, as in I flashed TWRP retention script, now everything went smoothly however after the process, in my updated phone, magisk had a module called "TWRP-Keep (no info)" I haven't seen that before, as I've done that process a couple of times before so I uninstalled it. Would that cause issues? Note that before the TWRP retention script had download errors but after restarting magisk it got fixed and I installed it accordingly

Problem Rooting After 10.3.2 OTA

I tried rooting with procedures under 'A' subsection 'I'. At the end of enchilada installation, the phone indicated "done installing TWRP, NOTE you are now unrooted, updating partition details, done". Rebooting to recovery in TWRP took me to fastboot rather than what I expected from the video guide I was following. I can power off and restart in unrooted 10.3.2. Power+vol down skips steps directly to the fastboot screen. I'm at a loss which procedure I need to follow to root and get my power+vol down back to normal and could sure use some help! Thanks.

EDIT: Solved thanks to goRt, who in another thread set me straight in that it was the additional step of installing Magisk that provided root.

No matter what I do, the phone is encrypted when I reboot to recovery.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
You mean TWRP cannot decrypt? Did you flash a custom ROM? Your case happens when you dirty flash a ROM on top of another ROM. You could recover by using MSM Download Tool or fastboot ROMs.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DroidJay123:
Running 10.3.2 on OnePlus 6 with Unlocked Bootloader. Can it be confirmed that I will need to boot into TWRP temporarily via Mauronofrio's TWRP Enchilada version? From that point, allow system modifications in TWRP, flash the ZIP TWRP file, boot back into recovery, flash Magisk and then reboot to system? Which Magisk version needs to be flashed to avoid losing TWRP?

Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Help please, stuck on bootloader unlocked screen

I need help please. I was in a working OOS of Open Beta 25 (28?). I was trying to upgrade to OOS Open Beta 6, but the local upgrade would constantly fail. The OTA would also fail. In an attempt to get to 9.0.9 first, I installed the zip from https://www.getdroidtips.com/downloa...plus-6-and-6t/ and have been unable to boot to system since.

I then tried a factory reset via TWRP, and sideloaded the OB6 zip downloaded directly from OnePlus Support. Same problem. I then restored a backup, reinstalled TWRP blu_spark 3.3.1-x v. 9.109 zip, and I'm stuck on the "bootloader is unlocked" screen. What do I do??

Edit: Now I'm trying to hold down power+up volume button to get to Fastboot, and I hear the Windows noises of a device being dropped and added, but my screen is black. This is very scary.

Edit2: I realized that I had to unplug phone in order to get to Fastboot. Now I'm back in working TWRP blu_spark 3.3.1-x v. 9.109. I restored a backup, and it may have been corrupt? Now every folder in my /sdcard is gibberish. If I try to push a zip to /sdcard, it says "Required key not available." Is there any way to save this phone?

Edit3: Getting some help on another thread...

Edit4: Ended up being able to install and boot to 10.3.2 via fastboot thanks to this [ROM][STOCK][FASTBOOT][OP6] Stock Fastboot ROMs for OnePlus 6 by mauronofrio, https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665 THANK YOU!

Rebooting back to recovery, not system

I was on 10.3.2, and I followed the steps above by booting into the twrp img, flashing twrp-3.3.1-x_blu_spark_v9.109_op6.zip, rebooting to recovery, then flashing Magisk-v20.4.zip. However, when I rebooted at the end, it took me back to recovery. What happened? Do I need to flash a boot img?

I also fastbooted stock 10.3.2 ROM, and I'm also having issues with missing emojis and non-English characters. Has anyone found a fix for this? Thanks for any suggestions.

Could you please provide the steps? How you rooted your device?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mohdfahad47:
Pretty much exactly as the thread says, unlocked the bootloader - flashed mauro's twrp- flash twrp zip and then magisk . It got rooted properly but I had an issue with non English characters shown as boxes and cross, but I fixed that by flashing the reserve_v1.img through magisk . However,I got into this mess by installing the busybox module from magisk repo, I wanted to install viper 4android and for it to get installed it said that I'd need busybox first. Next thing after I flash the busybox module I get into this bootloop, I have access to twrp and I went in file manager data/adb/modules and deleted both busy box and viper 4 android but I'm still in this boot loop. Will a normal factory reset from twrp solve this?? Or maybe flashing the latest oos zip from twrp? Thanks for your help...
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] brausebirne:
First step: I unchecked all the Magisk modules and de-installed the Subtratum themes I use. After that I put the downloaded full OTA zip in the root directory of my phone and installed it via the system update function. After finnishing the update progress I didn't reboot. I installed in Magisk the TWRP Retention Script and directily after that I installed Magisk (last option - OTA). Last step: I rebooted to recovery to install a custom kernel and restarted the phone.

As I mentioned it before: the first re-boot wasnt' sucessfull but after turning off and on the device everything was fine.

Stock boot img here: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3792244

I ended up not wanting to mess with it anymore, so I uninstalled Magisk, fastboot flashed stock boot img, then flashed the patched boot img linked in the above post. Then I followed the instructions in the OP of patched boot thread.

Making do without TWRP recovery, temporarily booting the img when I need it is fine with me.

I believe there's a way to have TWRP (mauronofrio's version 18) and Magisk, I think it's by installing Magisk 20.1 instead of 20.4. Can't remember where I saw that now... But if all you need is a working rooted phone, non TWRP is what I did. Good luck!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chris123NT:
I figured it out. I booted TWRP, flashed it, rebooted to recovery, flashed the Magisk UNINSTALLER, followed by Magisk 20.4 and the phone booted. I guess I had a module that was trying to load that was making the phone throw a fit.

I have 9.0.11 on my OP6T. Where is the zip to upgrade to 9.0.9 so I can start this guide?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] danhudie:
I am on 9.0.9(rooted) and want to upgrade to the latest latest android 10 version. In the instructions it says that I need to update my TWRP to the latest. I am on 3.2.3-x Blue spark v9.91, When Looking at guides the next one would be 3.3.1-18[enchilada]. Which TWRP do I want to flash, P or Q? As that is very unclear, I don't want to get into the boot loop issues previous posters have been experiencing when trying to upgrade.

Once I know, I can boot into recovery and flash the correct TWRP. Than from there, follow section B of the guide. Thanks in advance

EDIT:

I think since I am still on 9.0.9, if I want to boot into boot loader, I use the P file, than install the .zip from Install.... Can I just boot into TWRP recovery since I have that, and just install the latest 3.3.1-18.zip and be fine? Do i need to flash Magisk as well to do the update?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] s9amme:
so.... I accidentally wiped my phone.

I know this was mentioned in other posts, but just wanted to remind people about it. I was on Android 9 and my toddler somehow took an OTA update and upgraded my phone to Android 10.3.3. Of course, root was gone and so was my Magisk modules. Anyway, I looked at this as an opportunity to reinstall the latest TWRP and Magisk to get my rooted apps working again. I booted into fastboot and was about to flash the TWRP img file when I remembered I should probably run the Magisk uninstall zip first to make sure I do a clean install. I booted into recovery and I forgot it was overwritten with the OTA update. The stock recovery started wiping my phone immediately without any dialog box or verification first. :crying: (the data partition, but personal files in Downloads folder are still there)

Thank goodness for google backup and its restoring all my apps and text messages now. I need to set up my home screen layout again too. Oh well, lesson learned.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] gino.rockt:
stock recovery wipes rooted phone?

That's interesting. I did boot into TWRP and installed the magisk.zip but did NOT install TWRP. I hope therefore to not interfere with the update processes OTA. So does the stock recovery (wich I still have installed) automatically wipe a rooted phone?

My plan was to receive the OTAs and before rebooting install magisk.zip via magisk app to the second slot. Will my plan work with stock recovery and stock rom installed? I assume with A/B partitions the recovery is not involved. But happens if I start into recovery?

Your post really makes me nervous.

Having some issues here, can anyone give me a hand? I'm currently running v9.0.6 on my OP6, with TWRP 3.2.3-1 installed. Bootloader unlocked, and I'm rooted with Magisk v20.4. I'm trying to update to the latest version of TWRP linked in the first post so I can begin updating to 10.3.4. Whenever I run "fastboot devices" while I have the phone in bootloader mode, it lists the phone, but when I try to boot the twrp image with "fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-18-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img" it says:

"downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 0.600s]

booting...

OKAY [ 0.093s]

finished. total time: 0.693s"

But the phone boots to the black and white "Fastboot Mode" logo screen and never loads recovery. What am I doing wrong here?

Wouldn't it be easier to boot into your current twrp and then just flash the newer twrp zip? No need to do it from fastboot.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dohclude:
Got everything figured out finally. Had to just go ahead and install the OTA for 9.0.9, then reboot, then install OTA for 10.3.4, reboot again to fastboot mode.

Hi everyone,

I am still on Android 8.1.0 with open bootloader and magisk version 17.2. I didnt install TWRP (used enchilada 3.2.3), but just used it to install magisk, nothing more.

Everything works fine and I want now to install latest official version 10.3.5 and root the same process I have done.

Means, install 10.3.5, make a clean install, use TWRP (twrp-3.3.1-18-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img) just to flash magisk (version Magisk v20.4) and good to go? Or do I now have to install TWRP?

I dont need to upgrade in the future, because I usually make a clean install and use it for about 1-2 years, no updates. So my question, is it still possible to do this in this for me "old way" or do I have to considere something different with the new android version 10.3.5?

Thanks in forward and regards.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] akboy7015:
Since partitions changed a lot in android 10, using twrp is not an option to flash it. If your aim it to clean it during the process, the most fastest method should be to use MSM tool with latest firmware image but it is not easy to understand, and it requires a computer. The other way is to use embedded update tool with local zip files, but I think you will need to upgrade to v9 first (lastest), them to v10. At the end, you factory reset the device, and flash twrp again from computer using adb
