you wil need to reflash your stock recovery image, stock boot image for your current version, and a stock vbmeta.img again. Preferably via MTKclient you can check the thread below for instructions.

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Giovix92:
Just a little correction: it is, in fact, different.

By patching the boot.img, you'll avoid (as expected) flashing the magisk zip, that avoids permanent TWRP and other patches applied to the system directly. It's not only a boot.img matter, it's a general OS matter. Also, reduces the risk of boot failing since recovery stays fully stock at every reboot*. One thing less to care about.

Since it is kown that oplus likes to stop booting whenever root is available (hey there OPLUS_ROOT_CHECK), patched boot.img is the only safest way to root it, as of now. No bootloops, no problems.

* Note: this happens because, if the recovery is different and there isn't any patch for stopping this process, it'll get overwritten at boot with the stock recovery present into /system. Magisk tends to patch this process in order to NOT overwrite it.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] roldev:
As @Giovix92 states in the post above, rooting through patched with magisk boot.img works without problems.

I can confirm 10 months rooted without any problem. No TWRP, just root.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] user937173:
Hello everyone,

it's been years since I last rooted my phone and the process seems to be a bit less straight-forward nowadays.

I have some questions and would appreciate it if someone could answer them:

1) How does "twrp-3.6.0_11-0-UNOFFICIAL-denniz.img" differ from the official TWRP versions for denniz? Can I use the official versions at twrp.me as well?

2) Where does "vbmeta.img" come from? I suppose it's from some stock firmware image for denniz. How would I go about obtaining this file myself? I'm on DN2103_11_A.21 but I couldn't find any sources online to download the stock image. Not even Oneplus seems to be offering this anywhere.

I feel a bit uncomfortable downloading all these files from threads or telegram channels and would rather gather all needed files from official sources. (I know that I'm talking to experienced developers in this forum, please don't take it the wrong way)
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] roldev:
I will try to answer, regarding my experience:

1) The "twrp-3.6.0_11-0-UNOFFICIAL-denniz.img" is a bit outdated. We have now official at twrp.me as you notice. I wil use the latest official.

2) The update.zip from A.20 to A.21 has vbmeta.img. Can be obtained from the official updater, copied and stored.

The other vbmeta shared here is an ''empty' one to use after unlocking.

Hope helped. Cheers.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] user937173:
Hey roldev!

1) I was already wondering if that was the reason. Thanks for clearing that up!

2) Which updater do you mean? I updated my phone using Settings -> Software Update. I'm not seeing the image file in any of my folders. Also, do I need to use the "empty" vbmeta or can I use the real one too if my goal is to root my phone?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] roldev:
You need to be rooted, to obtain the update.zip package from /data/ota_package. I don't know if this file still exist after update.

Said this you don't need vbmeta for rooting. Just a copy of your boot.img to patch it with magisk. Then flash it from PC and fastboot mode.

If you don't trust the shared boot.img file, you can dump yours from the phone partition. There are few methods for this. If I'm not wrong: booting into TWRP and dump raw data, SP Tool, or mtkclient. Cheers.

Maybe I missed something critical, but after hitting ENTER on 6)I received the following:

So: I checked ‘Fastboot getvar current-slot (which verified slot a)

Then I attempted once more and FAILED

SO I tried slot b and I got the same outcome.

Also I read your guys book. Very insightful
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Quercy:
There is no slot A and B on a OnePlus Nord 2. Are you sure you are not using the wrong smartphone or forum????

Just type fatsboot flash recovery recovery.img

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] DeeplyLovesCoffee:
Thanks that did help. But I've run into another problem. I'm getting errors I don't know how to fix when trying to root my OnePlus Nord N20 5G using Android SDK Platform-Tools. Using fastboot with the command:

"fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"​

where twrp.img is the lastest version of twrp I'm getting the error:

"fastboot flash FAILED recovery No such partition".​

Sometimes the error is recovery_a and sometimes its recovery_b. The "fastboot devices" command returns successfully. Is there a way to confirm that this partion is there and writeable? Any suggestions on a fix are appreciated.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Giovix92:
You can get the active slot by checking the infos, through

fastboot getvar all

Probably N20 fastboot has a broken implementation of symlinking the active slot to the partition's name (ex. recovery_a -> recovery).

By the way, this is Nord 2 5G thread, not N20. If you're talking about Nord 2 then, it doesn't have A/B slots.

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] drystxx:
Hi. I have a oneplus nord 2 dn2103 downgraded from OOS 12 to OOS 11 A20 through rollback update package.

I followed this guide and I was able to flash twrp-3.7.0_11-0-denniz.img

my problem is every time I flash Magisk, it works initially but after 2 to 3 reboots, my phone will be stuck in a boot loop. My only solution is to format and wipe data through TWRP recovery which puts me back to square one.

I have tried the following magisk versions:

Latest version - Magisk-v25.2.

Magisk-v24.3.

if anyone can help, please kindly le let me know.

Also, maybe it's best if I just flash an actual custom rom to avoid such bootloop, I don't mind leaving from OOS as long as I can get my phone stable and not worry to be stuck again on boot loop
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] roldev:
Magisk + TWRP leads to bootloop on OOS. You may use Magisk and root your device patching boot.img and keep stock recovery.

Lately there are few updated custom ROMs, stable enough for daily usage.

Hi, I also have the same problem as a colleague with twrp 3.7 and magisk root v26 I have a periodic bootloop during reboot. It's terrible because you have to restore the system and make copies and restore data from internal memory. Tell me such a thing because I see that you know something about it, if I leave magisk root and replace twrp with stock recovery in the a_20 system, then having stock recovery will no longer fall into a loop or can it be neither root nor twrp? thank you very much in advance for your answer if you know because it's a really annoying problem and I want to stay on oxygenOs mainly because of the camera. Regards Tomasz
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] roldev:
Hi Tomasz,

Like you I stay on OOS 11 A_20, because I like it and don't have time to test new ROMs although I see few good ones. There is a GCam builds which work well, too. I cannot compare since I'm not heavy photo user.

Yes, stock recovery and patched with magisk boot.img will keep root without bootloop.

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] drstoms:
I don't even know how to thank you for this information that the behavior of stock recovery and magisk no longer causes a bootloop :) because the mass memory has already been unmounted (reason) Thank you for the link, I will definitely read it and look at it, and now I did it so that having root, I simply flashed stock recovery_a20 from the system position through the flashify application and I hope that I will not catch the bootloop as you said and with this information you saved me a lot of stress and nerves related to it. I understand that you are also on a20 with stock recovery and magisk for a long time and have not had this unpleasant case of bootloop even once? It's probably the case that during one of the bootups, the phone recognizes twrp custom and not stock, so it doesn't move, am I right?

Postscript after later attempts. In fact :) I ran it 9 times on stock recovery, actually zero bootloop🙂. Thank you my friend for your reply with information. All the best 🙂
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] drstoms:
And if I may, I would like to ask you one more thing. Is it possible to get fastboot mode to root on OxygenOs 12? adb reboot bootloader does not work (this causes a regular system reboot) some say that this mode is there, others that it is not there and has been blocked. A little fear on OxygenOs 12 because there is also no Bromine mode that will possibly unbrick the phone and maybe there is a solution for that? Someone managed to upload Os12 via twrp but forgot to flash stock recovery at the end and got stuck in an infinite loop of booting into recovery which I do not want to enter because it is non-standard and the lack of Brom mode probably leaves only the replacement of the motherboard in this case? ... Is it so Is it possible to force rescue mode? Is there unbrick on OxygenOs12? Thanks in advance for no, I would like to root on the stock rom12 and test this Rom a bit, but I'm just afraid not to get stuck in a place from which it is impossible to get out.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] roldev:
Nope, there is not fastboot, neither BROM on the stock OOS 12. They removed both. I think they was available on C1 - the first release, but not completely sure, since didn't use it.

Cheers.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] drstoms:
Thank you for your answer, then there is no need to rummage in OxygenOs 12, I will stay with 11 or test custom roms, although I am more of a supporter of original software with root of course 🙂 It remains to wait for android 13 india already has dn2103 supposed to be in mid-June, maybe then fastboot and Brom will be available...

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] drstoms:
Hi :) damn unfortunately the phone still randomly bootloops and I need to install twrp and restore the data, I'm on system version 11_A20 with magisk v26.1.. From what you said and what I read on GitHub OnePlus so it doesn't bootloop on root from which there is no data exit you need to have stock recovery maybe that's why the phone periodically does not want to start after turning off or restarting because having all the data and applications installed on the phone I changed only twrp to stock recovery_a20. In fact, as I said then I restarted the phone many times and nothing happened and recently every other launcher is like that and I don't want to lose data unless the only way to get rid of the bootloop is to flash the system again with mtclient and then root, but only with fastboot with patched boot and that's it. And one more question after flashing the root and running magisk manager in the system, it requires additional configuration and then requires a restart, maybe that's why the phone falls into a bootloop because you can't decide on additional configuration in magisk manager? thank you very much in advance for any help.. I don't want Custom Rom,
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] drstoms:
All in all, I am asking for a short answer whether to avoid bootloop with root forever, you should perform the entire system installation cleanly and only patching the boot .. Because I did it dirty with the data, replacing only twrp with stock recovery a20. Thank you

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] KevandLynds:
can you get into bootloader mode? found this in 1 of the forums!!!

your device maybe salvagable if you can get it into bootloader mode.

Hold down the voice speed dial button and soft reset - you should then enter bootloader mode 'multicolored' screen'

If you do, attach device to pc via usb cable (a small usb will appear bottom left of screen) and flash factory rom. (run rom executable or RUU updater from pc) You do not need to be activesynced to do this.

Before you flash again with a non-factory rom, your device MUST be cid unlocked.

If you cannot enter bootloader mode your bootloader has been damaged and your device will need to be sent away for repair.

dunno if this will help you or not but it worked for me..

Good Luck!

[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] shadow460:
Good evening. I got a second G7 as a project phone. It's badly damaged but was running a stock OS when I got it. I unlocked the bootloader and patched a boot.img file with my other G7, then flashed it to the boot partition. The receiving phone demanded a factory reset, so I did and now it's bootlooping.

The two phones are identical except for the back panel color and the damage, both XT 1962-1, 64 GB ROM, 4 GB RAM, both running Pie. TWRP will boot on both but will neither install nor make a backup of the one that's running.

I know there are a number of mistakes I might have made. It's been two years since I rooted the other G7. I think I lost the AVB keys and can correct it by flashing a blank vbmeta.

I wanted to ask though in case there's something I am missing.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] geodemarse:
Hello,

My OnePlus 5T is running LineageOS 18.1, lineage-18.1-20210914 with firmware 10.0.1_dumpling

My issue : On a daily basis, some of my applications no longer have access to the Internet while others do. My device displays 4G/LTE. I have to restart my device to access the Internet. It's the same thing if I enable WiFi.

I'm in France and by default, my device was set to LTE/TDSCDMA/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA for the preferred network.

With the code *#*#4636#*#*, in information on the phone, I changed to LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA (PRL) and I selected the radio band for Europe but the problem is still there.

I thought my mobile operator Free was the problem. But I tested my SIM card in another device and I did not encounter any problem.

Is it a firmware issue ?

I have two questions:

What is the firmware version to be installed ? Is the 10.0.1_dumpling version stable ? The LineageOS website doesn't have a link to the firmware anymore.

How to know when the problem occurs ? LOG capture ?

For information, I don't know if this is important, my device is rooted with MAGISK, I use AdAway and I have configured my DNS with Cloudflare in the network settings of the device. This doesn't seem to be the cause because when I uninstall everything, I still have the same problem.

Thanks for your help
