I got it, but i really want to install PA with A10
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Makeshift27015:
Is there an alternative download link for this (or any of the other PA) rom? The official site has been down for a few days and I've not been able to find a download.

Sadly, even wayback machine doesn't work on the site.

Edit: Having read some other comments, looks like it might be worth looking for another rom.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] LooNuH:
SITE'S WORKING AGAIN

(But i can't download ROM because their 2'nd site still down)
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] s.seila:
This rom is no longer support. The lastest build is "20200923". They probably deleted the file from their server , that why you can't download.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] LooNuH:
But why the whole site doesn't work?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] deathtothespy:
Did anyone manage to find links to download builds from their website? The links don't work and I can't find any other mirrors on the internet.

Nope. No Q ROM does.

Can you share where you got it? Also is the TWRP issue fixed in this particular build? TBH that's the only thing keeping me from flashing PA. Also, what are the Installation instructions as flashing TWRP Installer leads to Crash Dump with the only Solution being MSM Download Tool. Thanks.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] :
So I successfully flashed the ROM. Booted into system and after Initial Setup, Booted TWRP to flash Magisk and upon Reboot, device got stuck at the Lock Screen and Eventually Rebooted to Qualcomm Crash Dump and after a Second, Rebooted to System, and the Process Repeated itself. Will try to get Logs.

Edit. So now it booted just fine after the Third Crash Dump. Dunno what changed. All I did was Unplug it from the Laptop. Huh.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] omariscal1019:
When ever u get in to a crashdump hold all buttons power vol up and down until it reboots to fastboot and just flash boot img and it boots
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Schumi_wk:
After the first crash, unplugged from laptop and everything works fine :s

Sure doesn't like the be plugged in on the laptop.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] :
So I got it flashed and Booted Successfully. And after the initial Crashes didn't face any other issue. Most impressive thing is the FOD Speed and Battery Life. FOD is faster than OOS and Battery for me was good. Other than those two, ROM is stable as expected. The only "issue" is the lack of Customization Features. But since it's an early build, it's not a Biggie. Oh, and the whole "You can't flash TWRP".

Quartz Beta 2

Hey guys, a new build with fixed TWRP installer bug that caused phone to boot into QCOM crashdump is now available!

Links and list of other changes made in this Quartz Beta 2 build for OnePlus 6T is mentioned in OP.

Also, we know we're kinda vanilla on features, we're working on new cool stuff ATM, stay tuned!

Thank you, keep loving PA :D

Same thing happened to me two times in a row I gave up on that flash evolution x best ROM I ever did flash!
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] suvam69:
Ok so no one wants to hear your opinion. And if you thought PA to be like any other roms in the market, you're dead wrong for that man.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Zimty86:
I tried to flash it as described

get the error "No Command" when booting

I flashed 10.3.0 on a and b,

then I flashed twrp, started the current Beta 2 in twrp dan and then started again in twrp and flashed Gapps Nano,

then I wanted to start the cell phone normally
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sirhc:
Never heard of it but glad you found a ROM that works for you, enjoy man ?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mindflayyer:
I'm having a problem. I flashed stock OP6T 10.3 image. Booted into TWRP-3.3.1-30 (manuronofrio's Q version) and flashed the Beta 2 PA ROM. When the phone reboots, it reboots into the bootloader. Any help would be appreciated.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nlohani:
Change the active slot in fastboot.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Yokisen:
should i flash in slot a or slot b? here's what i did. i flashed 10.3 on both slots in twrp and then flashed twrp zip and then i reboot to system and reboot again to twrp. then i flashed PA beta 2 and i reboot into recovery and it shows no command.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Marcos Requena:
when it's more polished this ROM will be great. In this beta 2 the brightness control did not work and I miss the advanced restart. I apologize for me English use translator

out of shear curiosity, why are builds hosted on drive instead of regular build server? thanks for the hard work!
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] cangri87:
Because they are not official/stable builds yet.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] cursist:
gotcha...didn't think about that. when i saw the announcement on official twitter, i just assumed. thanks
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sirhc:

How do I check if 10.3.0 is installed on both slots a & b? Thanks
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Buddhaog:
Don't boot into system from twrp. Flash 10.3 on one slot the twrp installer then magisk 20.3. then just reboot to recovery on the other slot and repeat. Then reboot back to recovery flash PA, twrp installer, and magisk 20.3. then reboot recovery to other slot and do the same thing I flashed gapps after magisk and booted into system fine. If you get stuck at the boot animation you might have to format data. Hope that works for you. It's the Best ROM for the fajita and I have tried every single one.

---------- Post added at 02:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 AM ----------

You can check from fastboot. I think the command is fastboot get_active_slot or getactiveslot something like that. If you just type fastboot --help it will list the command. You could also just fastboot flash boot_a twrp.img and fastboot reboot. If twrp doesn't show up then your boot_b so fastboot flash boot_b twrp.img or whatever boot.img you want.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Yokisen:
I followed what you described but after i flash pa twrp and magisk in slot b i reboot to recovery in slot a.. After rebooting to slot a, the files become encrypted.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] paldine:
If you change to slot b it will boot up,I am having the same problem,what is the solution
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Yokisen:
Exactly.. It'll boot to oos.. I've tried multiple ways to flash pa and still ended up with encrypted data.. I just can't get a break... I've literally reformatted my phone several times over trying this.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Buddhaog:
If that happens try flashing OOS then format then flash twrp installer then magisk. After you might have to reboot to recovery in the same slot

Then flash pa twrp installer and magisk. If that doesn't boot then do the same things on the other slot. Then flash pa twrp installer magisk twice on each slot. This happened to me when I first tried to boot pa. I had the same problem I tried tons of stuff I can't exactly remember which sequence actually worked.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kousarali:
A Solid custom rom for our 6t. Although it doesn't have any customisation features yet, it is super stable and sleeps like a baby!
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] xVermicide:
TWRP has a built-in boot slot automation system which activates upon flashing any ROM zip be it stock or other.

this is how it's screwing everyone up:

if your current active boot slot is A and you reboot into TWRP, when you flash a ROM (stock or other does not matter) then TWRP will flash it to the

inactive

boot slot (in this case B) and then it changes your boot slot to boot from B without telling you. what's more deceiving is right after you flash any ROM zip when you go into the reboot menu, it doesn't show the updated boot slot. but when you

reboot back into recovery after flashing the rom

, then it will show the properly updated boot slot in the reboot menu. that's why you have to reboot back into recovery and flash the ROM again in order to have the same ROM on both slots.

however if you flash stock OOS 10.3 and then flash your custom ROM without rebooting recovery in between, then you flash the first zip to inactive boot slot but your custom ROM zip flashes back to the initial slot.

this is an extra-extra-careful (borderline unnecessary) way to achieving a successful custom ROM setup on your OP6T.

it doesn't matter which partition you start this process on but in my example we start from slot_a:

0: before doing anything listed here, boot into your original OOS and remove fingerprint data and lock screen protection.

1-I: boot TWRP. -you are now in TWRP with slot_a active-

1-II: format data (FORMAT - not wipe) then flash stock OOS10.3.zip. -it flashes to slot_b-

1-III:

reboot to bootloader immediately

-because your TWRP was just erased by OOS.-

DO NOT BOOT TO SYSTEM.

2-I: fastboot TWRP.img. -you are now in TWRP with slot_b active-

2-II: flash stock OOS 10.3. -it flashes to slot_a-

2-III:

reboot to bootloader immediately

-congratulations you now properly have OOS 10.3 on both slots A and B-

DO NOT BOOT TO SYSTEM.

3-I: fastboot TWRP.img. -you are now in TWRP with slot_a active-

3-II: flash PA beta 2 zip -it flashes to slot_b-

3-III:

reboot to bootloader immediately

-to boot from slot_b and flash once more, to slot_a-

DO NOT BOOT TO SYSTEM.

4-I: fastboot TWRP.img. -you are now in TWRP with slot_b active-

4-II: flash PA beta 2 zip -it flashes to slot_a-

4-III:

reboot to bootloader immediately

DO NOT BOOT TO SYSTEM

5-I: fastboot TWRP.img

5-II: install your TWRP.img recovery ramdisk -from "Advanced" menu in TWRP-

5-III: reboot recovery

5-IV: flash nano or pico gapps package

5-V: in reboot menu, change boot slot to slot_b and reboot recovery

5-VI: flash the same gapps package as you did on slot_a

congratulations, you did it, good job.

5-VII: flash magisk 20.3 zip.

6: boot system, phone

if you have any problems booting up, format data again in TWRP.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Yokisen:
Man i really hope this works.. Gonna try after work..
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] cultofluna:
You can avoid all these steps to reboot to fastboot and fastboot the twrp img there , by just flashing the twrp installer and rebooting to twrp anytime after you're flashing a rom zip

Example:

On twrp

Flash stock OOS

Flash twrp installer

Reboot to twrp

Flash stock OOS

Flash twrp installer

Reboot to twrp

Flash PA

Flash twrp installer

Reboot to twrp

Flash PA

Flash twrp installer

Reboot to twrp

Flash gapps on both slots

Flash magisk
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] xVermicide:
no. I wasn't asking how to flash the rom.

it's not my intention to have a person unfamiliar with the process take any shortcuts as the whole point is to be excessively careful and thorough. in case you missed it, that's why all the extra steps and information are there.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] cultofluna:
You wasn't asking ...

But your workaround can cut to half without all these unnecessary steps on fastboot...
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] CASEY_K:
Again he said "unnecessarily safe way".... After all the boo-boos I see on here for people LACKING TO READ THE WHOLE POST/INSTRUCTIONS, I myself give him props. It may take longer this way but it's basically fool proof for all those fools out there :)
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Yokisen:
I finally did it. Okay, here's the thing. let say when you boot to slot a and it's encrypted. you've got to format data( in twrp, under wipe, format data(you'll loose all your internal storage data,careful)). this removes the encryption in that slot . if slot b is giving your encryption problem do the same. only way to overcome the encryption problem is by format data. you need to go through the procedure up there to know which slot is giving you encryption problem.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Riddle5:
how is the SoT?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] vikram.mohal:
I flashed it. It is great soled rom itself, but back to oos due to camera and customisation. Thanx will wait when customisation features will be added i will definitely back to AOSPA
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] xVermicide:
it's not slot A or B that gets encrypted, it's simply the data partition itself that becomes encrypted, only able to be decrypted by the android system that encrypted it. so since your /data partition is encrypted by booting into OOS, then it's impossible to use your /data partition with any custom ROM until you format it to remove the encryption.

that's why in my instructions I warn not to boot into system, because it will encrypt data. and for novice ROM flashers this has been known to cause vertigo, depersonalization disorder, or even trigger epileptic seizures(@dirtyrott3njb)

if booting from slot A gives you encryption-related issues but booting from slot B doesn't, this means you have two different android OS's flashed to each partition. (OOS to A, AOSP to B for example) this why it's safest to set up identical system partitions on A and B from the start that both can boot. so later when you flash an update to your custom ROM, you don't feel the room start spinning and end up having to format data or worse, fastboot flash back to stock.

extra not-that-obvious info:

-there are 2 slots for Android OS (/system_a, /system_b) which you are switching between when you change boot slots (read-only, does not get encrypted)

-there is only 1 slot for userdata (/data) which gets mounted no matter which slot your phone boots from. (read/write, storage space, gets encrypted)

there are also about 25 other firmware level partitions like /modem, /bluetooth etc that are critical to the android OS. these are all modified/overwritten when you flash a stock OOS zip. they do not get modified when you flash an AOSP/CAF ROM. they remain on your phone.

the proprietary OnePlus firmware files contained within these partitions are required in order for android to work on our phones and they aren't included in AOSP roms. that's why we have to have them installed before we flash custom ROMs.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] yot2703:
Anyway to install OOS Apps on it?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] yot2703:
You sure?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] :
Lemme explain. OOS Apps require the OOS Framework and SystemUI. Both of those are Proprietary and cannot be built into a Custom ROM. So no. If you try to install the APKs from APKMirror some of them will not install, some will install but instantly crash/not work and a few will work. Also if you want to use OOS Apps, why not stay on OOS?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] yot2703:
AOSP Is much more customizable, And much more fun to use.

All i need is Camera app that supports Manual mode because GCAM does not support it...
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] :
In that case, you *SHOULD* be able to sideload the latest OOS Camera from APKMirror. Dunno about Pro Mode tho as that requires ROM Side Support. You can Test OFC. Just Download and Install the OOS Camera as a Normal APK.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] yot2703:
True , thanks man :)

Any bugs i should be aware of?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] fA:frAme:
For my understanding: I flash PA to slot B and in slot A is still the stock rom? It's kinda dual-boot feature?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Striatum_bdr:
Certainly not

The same ROM should be on both slots, many issues to expect if you have stock on one and non stock on the other. The slot stuff is just here to manage different versions of the same ROM, to be able to boot back on the older one if the update is messy
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] fA:frAme:
So I have to install the rom on both slots...okay.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] wangcow:
Definitely should put this in the initial post. Ty fine sir

EDIT: Is there a way to turn off the quick settings pull down at the top right of the screen? I turned it on during setup and can't figure out how to turn it off
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] :
Settings -> System -> Reset Options -> Reset PA Preferences.

Thank you that did it. This rom is the bee's knees.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] crackerjack9249:

[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jazzgott:
Guys, I've spent the whole night trying to do this and failing. Then I tried to go back to stock 10.3.1 and twrp/rooting and every time I get this stupid situation, where after booting system, file manager doesn't have permissions to change the filesystem. Nor can I do anything via mtp. Access denied.

So I go back to MSMDownload, go back to 9.

Then update to 9.17

Then boot TWRP

Then flash 10.3.1

reboot fastboot

boot twrp

flash 10.3.1 again

reboot fastboot, boot twrp

flash magisk

reboot fastboot, boot twrp

flash magisk

reboot fastboot, boot twrp

flash twrp

and I end up with unusable crap. Seriously, been doing it since about 23 last night to 6 AM.

Anybody can relate to this?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] phaino00:
If you flash TWRP after flashing magisk, you lose root access.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Striatum_bdr:
As mentioned you're conscientiously erasing Magisk each time you flash twrp. Just reflash Magisk. No need to MSM next time.....

Magisk always to be flashed last. Read my first post in my thread about OOS in Guide News section.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jazzgott:
No, I am not.

Here's whatg I just did:

MSM

9.13-9.17

local 9.17-10.3

unlock BL

boot twrp, flash twrp

reboot twrp, all internal storage encrypted (no, I don't have face data, fingerprints or pin added)

This is a nightmare!!!

Sorry I pasted two lines too many. I don't flash twrp over magisk. Thanks for pointing that out.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Striatum_bdr:
You're using twrp 3.3.1-31
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ducter:
Anyone that's running this, Android auto work by chance?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jazzgott:
Yes, I think that was the first problem

The second was - magisk has to be installed on both slots for some reason. If I just install it by default, the manager does not show after booting system.

So I switched slot in twrp and rebooted recovery.

Of course storage was encrypted, so I sideloaded magisk, switched slot again and it worked.

So the conclusion is - maurono twrp 3.3.1-31 installs magisk in the inactive slot, not active one as all the guides say.

Thank you for all your help nevertheless!

[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mckeowngoo:
I've managed to flash this by switching between a & b partitions in recovery. Format, install PA, flash recovery, switch partition, install PA, flash recovery and reboot. Did the same thing when installing 10.3.0 base prior to flashing PA. All went well. Used the ROM for about a day and then I switched back to 10.3.1. It's a nice ROM but I'll wait for later builds to appear. I remember PA ROMs from the S2 days and although this is a nice effort, it needs more seasoning as apart from a nice wallpaper it's just another AOSP ROM. Thanks anyway.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ducter:
Android Auto works fine for me, battery life is on par with OOS with how I use my phone. Happily running this for about a week and half now with zero issues. Well, I take that back, I can't find a reliable camera outside the included one and that one seems to put a weird filter over the image, like it's washed out sometimes. The Google camera randomly stops saving pictures and videos. Outside that, it's running great.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] devilsshadow:
Echoing the feelings of some other xda folk in this thread, one also been running stock oos since purchasing my OP6T. I've had very little reason to consider switching to a different Rom (other than a desire to check out pixel experience before it was dropped for our device). Seeing paranoid make a return is great an în keeping an eye in its progress for now.

A feature that would really make me want to switch over to PA would be an always on display implementation that takes advantage of DC dimming and doesn't cause the cpu to run at high clocks. Something similar to what xiaomi have implemented for their SD845 powered phones.

Hopefully it's considered for the future as I'm sure it will be considered a killer feature by most of us.
