[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Alpha_Geek1:
I can't tell you. I only had it running overnight. I ran the updater before I went to bed, noticed my theming was gone and that SeLINUX switcher and Boldbeat call recorder were complaining about no root, and when I got up in the morning, I started trying to fix that by first just restoring my TWRP backup. I rebooted into recovery and saw TWRP was gone, went to fastboot, installed TWRP and tried to restore my TWRP backup to no avail. I wish I knew what I was doing wrong. That TWRP backup is still what I would like to restore. Days upon days of settings and configurations. I had the device running perfectly with everything exactly the way I want it. It was truly a delight. I'm still trying to get something to run on it again (besides the bootloader and TWRP). It really seems like this device with the A/B boot partition and other peculiarities is 'delicate' compared to what I have been used to (HTC m8 devices) in the past. I really think I need to learn the process of restoring a TWRP backup on the OnePlus 7 Pro. I think it worked for me only once when I was trying to resize my boot animation and killed the boot process. I really do not know why I cannot restore my TWRP backup at this point. With TWRP running, I should just be able to copy the backup directory to internal storage and restore.. but that just won't complete successfully - always error 255 restoring /data. I've tried without the data partition, but I just get various flavors of "won't boot".

Now, I am trying clean install. Trying to follow the directions at the beginning of this thread, but still struggling. Not sure what is meant by 'sideload' for TWRP. I am installing it by going to install, and selecting the .zip file for TWRP, but the best I've managed is a RR bootloop - runs the red RR bootanimation and hangs there continually running the animation. When I get it, it will be part luck. I'd really like it to be all understood, but not there yet.

Notice size of latest build is 1.66 are gapps built in are does RR have that much stuff built in lol.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Toutatis_:
Both!
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] chrisjz:
is there a changelog for the most recent update?
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Toutatis_:
8.6.8 changelog can be found here but it's not device specific. I'm using 0505 Vanilla build, last time I flashed an RR build was in 2020 so I can't really tell what has been added/improved/changed since then.

Still the best ROM ever if you ask me!
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mrpeev:
I did i clean flash then flashed the ROM, flashed the twrp, before the first reboot to recovery the recovery said theres no OS installed... i reboot the recovery then flashed the magisk.zip. Everything was susccesful and after restart to system the phone stucked on the boot screen of RR. How can i fix it, and what might be wrong ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Toutatis_:
I would start from scratch if I were you. Assuming you have OOS 10 installed and not OOS 11, this is what I did:

Boot to TWRP (using fastboot boot)

Format data

Reboot to bootloader

Boot to TWRP again (using fastboot boot)

Flash OxygenOS 10 + TWRP and reboot to TWRP (1/2 - first slot)

Flash OxygenOS 10 + TWRP and reboot to TWRP (2/2 - second slot)

Reboot to system

Boot to TWRP (using fastboot boot)

Format data

Reboot to bootloader

Boot to TWRP (using fastboot boot)

Flash ResurrectionRemix + TWRP

If you chose GApps variant, reboot to system

If you chose Vanilla variant, flash GApps (NikGApps core worked fine for me) and reboot to system

Reboot to TWRP and flash Magisk

Reboot to system

If you're on OxygenOS 11, first you need to downgrade to OxygenOS 10. There are several methods to do so, you can use MSMDownloadTool (check this thread). As far as I'm concerned, I formatted data from TWRP and flashed the downgrade zip that I downloaded from here (ensure you download the 7 Pro zip, not the regular 7 one). The other link I originally found is dead as I'm writting this.

I flashed it from TWRP because I couldn't install it from OxygenOS updater for some reasons (Settings > System > System updates), I kept getting "System update instalation failed" error.

Good luck!
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Alpha_Geek1:
I think there is something fundamental I (and others) do not understand about the A/B partitions, the /Data partition, and the way TWRP and fastboot manage these.

I would really like to know how best to install the updates for RR *without* losing root and TWRP, and (less importantly) all my theming, but even trying to do a clean install or a simple(!) TWRP restore seems fraught with difficulty.

If I am running a ROM on slot A, and I boot to recovery (TWRP), and I do a restore.. which slot is that restore going to? If I do an install of a .zip (different ROM), that seems to go to slot B (whichever slot is not active). The problem seems that I get all sorts of weirdness with the /Data partition. What's going on there? It disappears, gives things like error 255, etc.. After installing or trying to restore a backup, I get a boot loop and then don't really know how I end up getting out of it. I'm doing various things like re-formatting /Data to ext2, then setting it back to ext4. I get errors where I cannot boot to TWRP from fastboot... etc. etc. Then, slowly, I manage to get out.

One crucial question here: when/what causes the system to switch slots if I do not do it manually via TWRP or fastboot? After I restore a backup, does TWRP switch slots? After I install a .zip (ROM, Magisk, gapps, etc.) is the slot toggled?

Here's an experience I had:

1. I was trying to re-size my custom boot animation (I did not create it, just want it to fill the screen). I ended up in a boot crash. Ugly looking 'crash dump' error.. blah blah.

2. Powered on with PWR+VolDn, entered TWRP, selected my backup and restored. Presto! Back in business.

3. I saw the RR updater had a new update.. ran it and let it do its thing per 'the documentation'.

4. Found I had no root, no TWRP, and no themes.

5. Ran fastboot.. booted from the external (on PC) TWRP image, selected my backup, restored it.

6. Boot loop, and things just got worse from there.

What went wrong in #'s 5 and 6, and why did that not work like #'s 1 and 2?

How can these problems be avoided? What is actually going on? Why is this anything but simple and easy?
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mrpeev:
I have succesfully rooted any phone that i had in the past 10 years but i have never seen anything like this oneplus...2 days im struggling, and no matter what i do it always loads the lineageOS ROM, never flashes or boot TWRP, or the phone enters in TWRP bootloops and etc etc, right now its stuck on the fastboot mode logo after trying to boot TWRP from fastboot... lol. Ill try to download this tool and see what will happen after. I managed to boot Stock OOS 11, but when i tried to boot the patched boot.img to gain root access, I have lost the OOS and phone tried too boot directly into lineage...lmao
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Toutatis_:
Agreed, this A/B slots stuff adds more complexity for nothing really. I don't use TWRP backups, I only make apps backup with SwiftBackup. If something goes wrong, I just clean flash the ROM and restore my apps.

Back in 2020 when I used RR for an extended period of time, I tried the built-in updater once or twice and I remember losing root and TWRP too. Maybe it's fixed now, I don't know.

I prefer the manual way with TWRP, never had any issue when dirty flashing updates. Manual update instructions in OP are still valid, just flash GApps too before Magisk if using Vanilla builds.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Thiiibs:
Solved.

I did a long post explaining I lost TWRP and root so I did it through fastboot, everything is OK now.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] protechtedd:
Wow. How did I not know this app exists. I've been running custom ROMs since 2012 and have used Titanium Backup and Migrate, but always felt lackluster on restores. Just tried SwiftBackup and it is amazing. The labels for different sets of apps to restore is let alone the best reason I instantly purchased this app. Thanks so much for mentioning it!
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Toutatis_:
RROS-Q-8.6.9-20210519-guacamole-Official.zip with May security patch is out

Dirty flashed via TWRP from previous Vanilla build, all good (y)
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Alpha_Geek1:
So..this means:

1) download RR 8.6.9 (.zip file saved to internal storage)

2) reboot to recovery

3) Choose INSTALL in TWRP, and install the .zip file from step #1

4) Reboot system and enjoy rooted bliss with themes and TWRP still in place??

???
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Toutatis_:
Reboot TWRP

Flash ROM, TWRP

Reboot TWRP

Flash GApps (only if using Vanilla variant) and Magisk

Reboot system
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] andre0005:
Just use the built in updater. Install the update.

Flash magisk from the magisk app to the inactive slot. Reboot.

This way you'll keep magisk and twrp.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] i23u8:
Installed this and its perfect!
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Reechings:
I guess RR has just said screw A11 and wait for 12 or something?
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Alpha_Geek1:
I did that for 8.6.8 and lost Magisk and TWRP. TWRP was replaced with something else, and Magisk was completely gone. Tried booting TWRP from external image and restoring backup, backup 'restored successfully', but got boot loop (stuck on boot animation) on reboot, and things went downhill from there. I was finally able to restore my TWRP backup after a day of struggling with a device that appeared to be bricked at times. I really need to know when/what causes the active slot to switch, and when (not) to switch it manually. At one point, I could not boot the external TWRP image from fastboot, and at another point, I could not restore the TWRP backup without getting error 255. I ended up doing a 'clean' install of 8.6.7, then did the TWRP restore and got everything back - Magisk, my themes, apps, settings. I'm not anxious to risk that kind of difficulty again. I'm even putting off updating Magisk until I have a whole day in case it goes south on me.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Thiiibs:
I also have trouble after OTA update, never been so tricky, I loose root & twrp everytime even atfer following instructions.

With my previous phones I was in a hurry to get updates, now I am scared to update since I don't know how the phone will turn on after that o_O
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Alpha_Geek1:
Exactly how do you 'flash to the inactive slot'? This is the most confusing part. Do you switch slots with fastboot, then boot TWRP then flash by selecting 'Install' inside TWRP? Do you boot recovery (TWRP) and just install in there? Do you boot recovery (TWRP), then switch slots inside TWRP, then install? Do you switch slots inside TWRP (or via Fastboot), then reboot... or??

The most confusing part is I have no idea when to switch slots and which slot TWRP is actually working with when I do something like install a .zip (ROM file, Magisk, TWRP itself) versus things like wipe or reformat? I also don't understand when the slots actually switch. Is it when the command is sent, or is it after a reboot after the command is sent? What are the triggers for the device switching slots? If I manually switch slots and the device itself switches slots due to one of those things, does that nullify so I end up in the original slot?

This is what I need to know most: the ins and outs and gory details of slot switching.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] i23u8:
You switch slots thru TWRP. The newer TWRP automatically flashes ROMs to the currently inactive slot (opposite of the slot you are in now), afterwards flash TWRP again then switch to the other slot and reboot to TWRP, then flash gapps or magisk.

Does anyone happen to know where we can find a changelog?
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Lutiox:
In the telegram chat they said that is SECURITY UPDATES.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Toutatis_:
I also experienced bootloop. It depends actually. Once, the phone was stuck on ROM boot animation, then rebooted a second time and TWRP appeared. Another time, I would just get bootloop and nothing else.

Switching slots works indeed. I used to dirty flash ROM to both slots (ROM/TWRP for each slot then Magisk after rebooting to TWRP) but it might not be necessary in order to boot the phone to system.

Waiting for recommendations regarding whether running

adb logcat > logcat

would be OK before reproducing the issue again.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] VampireHeart:
Follow rhi simply steps when you update the ROM:

- use inbuilt updater and install latest version

- not reboot but open magisk

- into module section install twrp

- go back and tap the first install then click ok and install in the inactive slot after ota

- reboot system

Now you have updated the ROM without loosing twrp and magisk

How are you able to get such battery backup? I'm getting max 5 hours. Is there anything to do ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] jamescable:

[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Sk1t:
Managed to fix it now, I just flashed OSS 10.0.4 over slot A then did the RR OTA over it. Works great now, for some reason the UK version has the latest version as 10.0.4 instead of 10.0.5

No idea why it's doing that. I followed the guide here: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424

The OP didn't say to flash it over both slots but I did it anyway, that might have been the reason. Any how, it's all fixed.

Thanks to OP and everyone who tried to help :) Love this community.

Also, not sure if anyone else has this but the battery bar colours are broken. They can only be white or black.

Also, can I make a feature request? I would love it if I could change the font size for the status bar, or the status bar size. I find the current way too thick. If I could change the font size, I could hack around it with a DPI change.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Yodasgodfather:
anyone else loose root after OTA? just did the recommended process of using the preinstalled updater and lost root on boot? also tried installing TWRP and it switched to lineage recovery when I Flashed RR as mentioned previously.

Update: reflashed magisk booting into twrp and everything is back where I left it. Previously installed Modules are appearing installed after reflash, but this is unusual.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] AlkaliV2:
Flashing both slots is important because when you flash an update of RR it flashes to the other slot over top of what was installed. If OOS isn't there it'll be broken. That's why you flash it to both slots.

You have to update the OTA just like you do taking an OTA in OOS. Using Magisk to retain TWRP and installing Magisk to the inactive slot.
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Yodasgodfather:
Whoops didn't do that? The new boot slots are confusing and the process was different on my previous daily driver which was the xperia xa2 ultra. Appreciate the response ?

Uodate

I can confirm updating via rros updater tool works coming from 0524 build to 0527. Downloaded, installed, then flashed twrp installer, and finally magisk OTA slot and reboot. Reboot wasn't normal. Only issue was the launcher fc. So I quickly tapped play store and installed Nova and good now
[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] AlkaliV2:
Yeah Trebuchet seems to force close after an OTA. However, built in Pixel Launcher works until you can grab something else. Thanks for reminding me, I forgot to mention that.

[OnePlus 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] varund7726:
NOt sure why you guys are having this specially after update but this gives me more evidence that your issues are due to too much dirty flashing

SInce you said after updating to the current build you are getting this issue. Because i have NOT touched smart charging settings i the past 1 month.

you guys have to be using some custom kernel or any charging mod.

As far as logging goes, you need to do

adb logcat >log.txt

when the phone is in bootloop

If you have enabled debugging before the phone has gone into bootloop then you should be able to take a log during the boot animation process

Or if you wanna grab right away set your active slots to A or B whichever ones were giving you the loop and and grab a log
