Nice to see you again, Comrade.

You are wrong as usual.

TWRP stands for Team Win RECOVERY project. That means backup and recovery are the main functions. Recovery fails on both A/B systems like Oneplus 6, 7, 8 and 8 Pro, and especially on 8T and 9 series, which have virtual A/B. TWRP devs know that and that's why they give you a disclaimer, on the official download page, stating that TWRP will not allow modifications to any logical partitions. It simply cannot read them. So, restore either results in bootloop or severe 'disability' for the restored rom, which in both cases require a clean flash.

In addition, TWRP cannot be built together with AOSP roms above Android 9, which means we only have generic ones, which won't allow partition size customization.

To conclude, TWRP core functions (backup/recovery) do not work on A/B and virtual A/B devices.

Having said that, I don't blame TWRP developers at all, instead I thank them for continuing development. They owe you and me NOTHING, the same way I owe you NOTHING.

Your valuable input is ALWAYS appreciated, Towarisch. .

Best regards.

I'll just leave this right here.....for your users...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] optimumpro:
They can write on XDA whatever they want: the fact remains (as I have already said), if after TWRP restore, especially on virtual A/B devices, a user could boot, the restored rom will be so buggy that it would require clean flash.

As I have also said, TWRP cannot be build together with Android 10-12 roms. It instead is built separately with Android 9 modified environment and device tree taken from Omnirom. Omnirom partition sizes are different from other custom roms, Omni devs don't preserve extra space for Gapps and Android does not leave free space on partitions, except for data partition/internal storage. This is why TWRP cannot format System partition and the devs specifically tell you not to ever format System. When you flash rom without formating system, only files with the same name get overriden, which means the remnants from prior roms remain, and if you change roms frequently, you are in the sea of trouble (with time).

Nor can TWRP flash rom images, except for kernel or recovery. Try to flash vendor or system image and you will soft-brick your phone.

My oneplus 6t has twrp dualboot running android 9 on one slot and android 11 on other.....so does my 7 pro
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] optimumpro:
TWRP has nothing to do with dual boot, which is a separate development. Plus, neither 6 nor 7 has virtual A/B system. All new Android devices run on virtual A/B, which renders TWRP backup/restore function useless. This may change though, since TWRP is a continuing development.

Also, dual boot systems usually mean that your phone cannot use encryption, and if you have Google or other payment services, anyone who gets your phone could steal your money. But, you are the user, you set everything the way you want, which means: To Each Its Own... . :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jamescable:
Actually, I pass safety net and can use google pay 😁. A lot of users can.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] optimumpro:
That's exactly what I meant, when I said that any one who gets your phone with dual boot and no encryption can steal your money... .
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jamescable:
You can still use a pin/pass code/fingerprint
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] optimumpro:
Which is easily removable in TWRP. All they need to do is press no, at the prompt and then they will have System partition with root rights. They will need to remove 1 or 2 files which start with 'lock' in data/system and then reboot into the phone with no pin or fingerprint.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] deadbeef2000:
1. This is not really improving the situation at all. I can still hardly pull down the notification center and the whole status bar is really far up... Could you maybe add an "intermediate" option that aligns the status bar with the front cam? The Small option wastes too much space imho and Normal has the upper mentioned issues. I'd love it if you could add that to your ROM!

2. Thanks, it doesn't show up in gestures menu but searching for it actually does the trick ^^

3. Alright, thanks for the really informative answer, I didn't know that it makes such a huge difference and I can always just push adb after flashing your ROM
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] optimumpro:
Here are screenshots with statusbar, quicksettings and cutout settings from my Oneplus 8 (I don't think there is a big difference here between 8 and 8 Pro). I might increase left padding for 8 Pro, which should resolve your issue. With regard to quicksettings pulled down: who cares about screen real estate in quicksettings, as long as nothing gets cut? You are not doing anything else when quicksettings are down.

Don't change default display resolution, as that may create cutouts.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] deadbeef2000:
When sou say display resolution do you mean adjusting the Display Size options in the Display settings?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] optimumpro:
Yes.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] deadbeef2000:
Well, I see the problem now...

Do you plan an supporting higher resolutions? Because I really love to see more stuff at the same time on my screen ^^
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] optimumpro:
You can also try various grid sizes in Launcher3: long press on home screen/style and wallpapers/grid
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] deadbeef2000:
Thanks for the advice, but I mean inside of apps, like the settings app over the browser.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] optimumpro:
You can change resolution in Developer, I set it to 400 and more with no cutouts.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] deadbeef2000:
I usually go up to roughly 500, at this resolution there are pretty annoying cutouts and I can barely pull down the status bar.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] deadbeef2000:
Just to be sure you haven't missed it optimumpro:

Are you planning on supporting higher resolutions? Because I don't want to waste so much screen space on my phone
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] optimumpro:
Higher resolution is supported, but users can pretty much screw everything on their own.

As I have already said, I will add additional padding to the right from front camera.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] deadbeef2000:
Cheers mate, if you need to have a working example, havoc-os has got a pretty nice status bar ;)

Here is a picture of the statusbar with display size set to 'smallest'
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] optimumpro:
I have zero cutouts on both 500 and default 384. See screenshots.

Also, unlike in Havoc, Jaguar provides more screen space by putting the statusbar on the very top.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] deadbeef2000:
But having the status bar that far up doesn't really allow me to use the screen space more efficiently because of the front cam taking away some space anyway. Is there a possibility, that you could add an option that would do pretty much exactly what Havoc does? I think it's actually the most fitting and I don't see how I'm losing any screen space (at least not usable screen space).
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] optimumpro:
Yes, it does: you have more space vertically. Havoc has large margins that reduce vertical space.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] deadbeef2000:
Are you talking about the margin below the front camera or which margins are you talking about?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] optimumpro:
I am talking about the vertical margin between the beginning of phycial display (on top) and status bar entries (icons). My status bar is closer to the very top, which leaves more space from top to bottom.

So, apart from increasing the left horizontal padding, there is nothing to do here.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] deadbeef2000:
Alright, I see, I just flashed your ROM again to see the difference. Obviously, the icons are all closer to the top edge of the screen, but I still don't see how I get more usable screen space by doing that. All of the apps I'm using are still showing the same behavior. And, honestly, don't you think it looks really ****ty that it's not aligned with the front cam? I really can't stand it xD
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] optimumpro:
I frankly don't know what you are talking about, especially when you say 'sh**'. Also, if you don't see that there is more vertical space in Jaguar, that's not my problem.

Why don't you stick to the roms you like instead of wasting XDA space here. :)

Best regards.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] deadbeef2000:
You can substitute sh** for pretty much anything, but in my eyes it just really hurts if it's not aligned ^^

The point being is that I actually really do enjoy and like your rom, but the statusbar is the biggest drawback for me. I've tried most roms out there for the instantnoodlep and I'm almost sure now which one I'm going to install, but I just wanted to ask some devs first if they could agree with the changes I propose.

The one thing I just struggle to see is the 'extra space' you're talking about. Is it the part below the status bar icons but above the 'application area' (like the area where applications start drawing there stuff).

Again, just for clarity, I have no intention of pissing you off nor do I dislike your rom, but I can't look at the statusbar and, even worse, the higher I set my display resolution the harder it gets for me to actually pull the notification center down. I need at least 3 approaches at all times... Do you have any clue why this is? Is the 'statusbar touch area', the area that can be used to pull down the notification center, only as small as the displayed icons?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mordantly:
You need IMMERSIVE MODE to get rid of the status bar. Obviously the punch hole camera means you will NEVER see any pixels where the lense is located, but the app with focus will display using the entire screen.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] qudo:
If you don't like cutouts, don't buy a phone with front camera in the display?

You may otherwise use gestures for notification center and/or quick settings?

I use double home button for this.

Any idea what could have caused this and how to fix it?

I installed the March update as usual without any erros.

When I rebooted into the system afterwards, the scrambled strip at the top of the screen appears and as soon as I press any button, the whole display looks like the second picture.

Since this moment, every attempt to boot the phone ends like this.

No adb or fastboot available

seems not to boot into EDL mode, no sign of the phone in the recovery tool.

A reboot into the bootloader or recovery is not possible.

- power off by pressing vol up + power buttons works

- booting into recovery by pressing power + vol down buttons does not work > ends the same way as on the picture

- booting into bootloader by pressing power + vol up buttons does not work > ends the same way as on the picture
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] optimumpro:
You should shut down the phone, wait for 10 seconds and then restart by pressing 'power' and 'volume up and down' together. Not volume up or down, but together. You will boot into fastboot. From there, you can do whatever you want.

I have Oneplus 8, not Pro, but there is very little difference between them. My Oneplus 8 boots normally, no problems at all.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] qudo:
This is not working.

Pressing 'power' and 'Vol +' and 'Vol -' same time results in the same way, except, it skips the oneplus bootlogo
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] optimumpro:
It might be a hardware problem. You can't ruin EDL or protected partitions by installing a rom. EDL is a rom independent hardware function.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] qudo:
I know.

That's why I tried that first.

Meanwhile, I just don't think Oneplus and I are made for each other. Somehow I only had trouble with the thing...

I give up.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] optimumpro:
Try to use MSM tool. Try another usb cable, which may fix the EDL problem.

P.S. I don't think it is Oneplus per sei: it's rather Google's virtual A/B system and logical partitions, which are confusing and unnecessary.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] qudo:
I have already tried with three different, original Oneplus USB cables and an Anker cable.

Vol up' + 'Vol down' for 6 seconds and then connect USB to PC.

Unfortunately the QUSB_BULK device does not even show up in the device manager and nothing else does.

Also no prrof of live on my linux machine.

No reaction or other access possible.

But it doesn't matter, I'm kind of fed up with the Android tinkering.

Thanks anyways, it was a nice time with your rom and i really appreciate what you are doing!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] optimumpro:
MSM tool won't work on Linux with VM running Windows. You need an actual Windows machine.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] qudo:
that is clear.

i have several laptops here with different operating systems and just cross-tested to see if i get any response at all to plugging in the phone.

But like I said, I'm giving up, I'm frustrated and I've had enough of having to completely reset my phone every few weeks because another little thing got messed up.

I'm too old for this **** and maybe I've reached the Apple age where things are just supposed to work....

FYI

I managed to get access to adb and fastboot again and wiped my device, unlocked bootloader etc.

Testwise i did install crdroid, which works fine.

I wiped my device again and reinstalled your recovery and rom.

First reboot attempt without gapps etc results in the same issue.

I bet, this is somehow related to V18 of Jaguar Rom and OP8Pro.

EDIT:

I tested with the previous version of your rom and it works fine and without any issues.

I have no root on the lastest version after installing the magisk 23 apk that you included in the thread. Can i still flash magisk now after the fact? I seen in one of the previous posts that the one of the releases wasnt rooted. Is this possibly my problem?

I had same issue my first flash didnt work but that was me flashing via twrp like a dummy. I did it exactly as the OP said and copied the recovery partitions and went off without a hitch. Im OP8P as well.

I am experiencing the same exact issue after the March update and TWRP.

I used the MSM tool and flashed back to stock. Rebuilding again now. (Leaving TWRP out and using OP's recovery this time).

Edit: Same issue still. Scrambled 1980's TV screen. What the fook is going on? I am wondering if the bootloader is corrupt.

Edit: Now this is funky. I flashed twrp-3.6.1_11-0-instantnoodle.img from the official TWRP site to both slots. It now boots normally and doesnt go nuts. I was using 3.6.0 before, also was trying the OP's recovery.

Edit: D@mnit. Its doing it again.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] digs_:
That recovery img doesnt work at all on my rig. Makes like a one cm long banner across the top of the screen of static looking garbled crap over top of the bootloader warning. tried it twice. then flashed a twrp recovery and the phone booted up.

...also another and one of the very few issues is the phone every 10 or 20 seconds or so does a color temperature change like a mild night light setting. it goes back to normal for a bit then does it again constantly...

edit - i think this issue was display refresh rate changing for 60 to 120 and back
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Boa410:
Looks like Lineage has a B partition dump that you can use to make sure both partitions have non conflicting data. Is something similar achievable for this ROM?

I'd also like to report that I'm also having the same graphical issues. Using v-17 recovery and v-18 regular and full I had a single glitch before the rom logo showed. using twrp resulted in no boot as someone had mentioned before.

Does anyone have any tips on how else to restore access between the computer and the phone?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] optimumpro:
Has nothing to do with the rom. It's either your window drivers or usb cable. It's not hardware related, because in that case, you wouldn't be able to flash roms/sideload roms. Update your drivers. Use OEM cable. Check USB options (when connected) in quicksettings and enable file transfer. Check default usb configuration in Developer options. Also, some PC's setup may require administrative privileges.

@optimumpro

After you have clarified that locking the bootloader is only possible with your recovery, I am currently a little uncertain about the status with the Rom and your recovery or TWRP.

The last update via your recovery has completely shot my phone and I was then left only a complete reinstallation.

I have now actually first installed crdoid, because I can also lock the bootloader there and the OS runs so far really fine and error-free.

But of course I would rather go back to Jaguar.

What is the recommended way to use your ROM with locked bootloader now?

Your recovery?

TWRP?

Wait until the recovery is fixed?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] optimumpro:
First, you can use any recovery with the latest release. Second, the latest release has fixed recovery issues. Third, I am a bit skeptical about your claim that Crdroid could be used with locked bootloader: any link or additional info on that?

I found a way to relock the bootloader and it works like a charm and i am running crDroid 8.1 (A12) with locked bootloader.

After I switched to crDroid once since my last post, because a new installation of Jaguar simply ran into the graphics glitch and boot error every time, I wanted to try again.

current twrp-3.6.1_11-0-instantnoodle recovery flashed.

Installation neither via sideload, nor via file from /sdcard/ possible.

jaguard recovery v17 flashed

Installation of the Rom possible, but immediately the glitch and again no boot possible on slot a.

boot possible on slot b

Counter test:

Installation of crDroid recovery and ROM

Everything fine on slot a and b

-----

So the decision to reset everything again via MSM-EDL and reboot completely.

Each time I started OOS, ran through initial setup, installed OS update, rebooted again and tested oos.

Then the standard procedure with open bootloader, install recovery and ROM, test.

-----

Results:

Run 1)

Boot EDL Mode

Unbrick with MSM

Boot / Update OOS / OEM unlock

Jaguar Recovery v17 flashed

several problem-free reboots into the recovery

Rom 18 FULL flashed

> Glitch and boot problem

> Reboot into the recovery is no longer possible

> Recovery must be flashed again before it can be booted

> Slot A changed to B, boot OK.

Run 2)

Boot EDL Mode

Unbrick with MSM

Boot / Update OOS / OEM unlock

crdroid recovery / rom flashed

Everything fine on slot a / b

Run 3)

Boot EDL Mode

Unbrick with MSM

Boot / Update OOS / OEM Unlock

Several problem-free reboots into the recovery

ROM 18 FULL flashed

> Boot to slot B OK

Fresh Try after Recovery with MSM Tool.

Still the same issue.

Open The Bootloader in Fastboot

Flash Recovery.img on a/b

reboot recovery results in glitch and broken phone.

Recovery with MSM is necessary.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] optimumpro:
First of all, are you saying that you get the graphic glitch before flashing the rom, just by flashing recovery? If that's the case, use any recovery (lineage or twrp). Or instead of flashing just boot recovery from fastboot: fastboot boot recovery.img.

Second of all, I don't think you need MSM after you encounter the glitch. You just need to force shutdown the phone, let it sit for 20 seconds and then restart in fastboot, i.e., press Power button + both Volume up and down at the same time, and you will boot in fastboot.

And finally, I am at a loss as to this 'glitch': it doesn't exist on Oneplus 8 and 8T, and also on Oneplus 6 and 9 series.
