You've just rebooted into system instead of rebooting into fastboot.

Do adb reboot bootloader to go back in fastboot. There fastboot commands will work
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lachatol:
Thanks, it looks like it's working
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lachatol:
Does this root work with a european Version A14?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] the.nebular:
I tried this but it still won't pass CTSprofile for safetynet. Do I need to use props config as well? I thought the system image was still stock.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] pankspoo:
You can try
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lachatol:
First I updated my phone to 2103_11_A14. Then I followed the video, but root failed. I do not know why
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] pankspoo:
U didn't goven the app magisk permission when it pops up for asking root privilege
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Kenaestic:
Use the right version. The newest version is not the version you should use. Use 2.1.2 and install the riru magisk module.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lachatol:
So now I don't understand what version 2.1.2, version of what? What is riru magisk module? Thanks a lot
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lachatol:
Omlouvám se, omylem jsem odpověděl na jinou zprávu
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lachatol:
Thanks for the advice it's ok. Root installed.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] the.nebular:
Thank you sir, that worked perfectly. You are a Gentleman and a Scholar
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lachatol:
When I do root according to the instructions here, in twrp I will install magisk23.zip - reboot- install magisk.apk - I will run Magisk and it will display "Requires Additional Setup. Your device needs additional setup for Magisk to work properly. Do you want to proceed and reboot?"

When I say Ok, the system keeps booting up and no longer booting up - it won't start. Don't know what to do with it? What am I doing wrong?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lachatol:
I've done the whole root process twice and it's always been OK, but not now. The only thing I changed is that I installed a new version of twrp
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] 8vasa8:
I got this problem with magisk 23 too. Now I am on canary and it looks promising. You can try "format data" in twrp but backup you stuff.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lachatol:
do I mean to format the data and do the root again? Then in twrp install Magisk canary? Where can I get a Magisk canary zip and what Magisk.apk file should I use? Thanks
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] pankspoo:
Never accept that update process shown by magisk just skip.

Your root will work.without issue
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lachatol:
I do not understand. The message keeps popping up there, even if I cancel it, so it's there again in a moment. It is impossible not to accept it. I don't know what you mean.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] 8vasa8:
Yes I had same problem on EU version with magisk 23. If I confirmed this I hat bootloop. Data format helps.

Root was working but I could not install modules and this shows all the time. Now I am using canary magisk and I can confirm this and install modules.

You got EU? Just curious.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lachatol:
Yes, I have the EU. Advise me how to do it. Should I install Magisk canary zip in twrp? And then when the android starts, then install Magisk from google play?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] 8vasa8:
Install zip in twrp after that boot and rename that zip. From magisk.zip to magisk.apk and install
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lachatol:
Thank you. Maybe I'll get to it tomorrow and try to do it.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lachatol:
I installed Canary and the problem is still the same
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] 8vasa8:
Yeah but it shoud not cause bootloop this time. But ofc backup everything to be sure.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lachatol:
I installed Canary to reboot and it caused a bootloop again. I don't know what to do anymore.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] 8vasa8:
Thats wierd, It's working for me. This phone is one big bootloop.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lachatol:
But what now? I don't even know how to return to factory settings without twrp. How do I uninstall twrp to receive new updates and work normally?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] 8vasa8:
Do you have backups?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lachatol:
I have a backup that I made before the incremental upgrade to A15, but I already had twrp installed.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Onacceptable:
I followed every step but my device shows this message: " fastboot_unlock_verify ok" like someone posted earlier. When I'm checking in CMD or PowerShell for fastboot devices, nothing happens

Anyone knows how to solve this ?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] pankspoo:
Update your driver's and please send clear image.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Onacceptable:
Is it possible to flash te A_16 EU version ? And if so, are there other files needed than the provided vbmeta or something ?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] pankspoo:
U

Want to root EU 16?

All files are same u can use
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] TommyBeretta:
Hi ! Are there any downsides to be expected after rooting ? E.g. no working Gpay or something ? Thx :)
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] jadajada:
Coming from a Pixel this seems like the most familiar method for me. I tried this on newest build, A17, but after flashing boot.img as boot in TWRP it bootlops. Flashing back stock boot.img works. I am using latest Magisk Canary to patch boot.img.

What could I be doing wrong?

Edit: Took the unfamiliar approach and did it as in first post. Worked.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] 8vasa8:
Biggest downside is that you can get random bootloop. Some people have problems with magisk.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Quercy:
Hi. My bootloader is unlocked. TWRP 3.5.2_11-0 is installed but I can't flash Magisk.zip with TWRP. I tried version 23.0 or 24.1. Same problem. When I want to install the zip the installation starts and after 2 or 3 s the screen returns to the main menu of TWRP (Install/Format/Backup/Restore...etc.) . I'm on OS A17. Any idea to allow me to root this damn OnePlus Nord 2 ???
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] bossie1975:
I am having problems unlocking the bootloader. I am able to enter fastboot, but as soon as I give the "fastboot flashing unlock" command CMD only reports waiting for device and I have nothing showing on the phone itself. Any suggestions?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] TommyBeretta:
Thank you. Doesn't sound very inviting. So, i'll better stay unrooted..
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] bossie1975:
Solved! used a clean PC without any drivers whatsoever. Did the trick
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] exis_tenz:
In Fox's MMM Magisk-Manager (downloaded @github) I found a module that's called "Magisk Bootloop Protector" which promises Protect your system from bootloop caused by Magisk modulesby turning off all your modules and restart your system if bootloop is detected.

Well, of course I will not actually TRY this since my phone is my daily driver. But IF it does what it promises it should be a really handy tool for the OnePlus Nord 2 5G which is a total disaster when it comes to rooting and root-related stuff. I'm on A16 (A7 and A18 are out there) but no way I am ever going to update anymore.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] 8vasa8:
It is disaster. I flashed custom rom because of this and everything was okay but went back to stock because I need stock camera.

I installed newest canary and get bootloop after "requires additional setup" restart.

Now I am testing if I got bootloop without confirming this. Magisk doesn't work properly but root is working. :D

I can try it but I think it will not work without "additional setup".
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] pankspoo:
Ok I will test this will lets you know all guys
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] exis_tenz:
Strange, because I have installed STABLE 24.1 and after that manually installed the APK-file. All THAT worked without errors. Did it on a fresh factory resetted phone (factory reset by OnePlus).

Besides, why is everyone using Canary-builts? I mean, if you WANT stable - USE stable ;-)
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Mr.Vag:
Hello thanks for the TUT.

Im on A17 and after flashing vmbeta and twrp when im trying to reboot to recovery im getting error.

>fastboot reboot recovery

fastboot: usage: unknown reboot target recovery

how to fix that?

Also im trying to boot twrp.img but nothing again..im getting error too many files.

Help me please.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] extranoob:
Hey! So, I was trying to root my nord 2 (followed the instructions on this post ) and did the following:

1) Unlocked the OEM in the settings. (Forgot to remove the pin code)

2) Rebooted to fastboot and ./fastboot flashing unlock

3) Rebooted to system and did the quick setup again (I did put a pin code on the phone which I AGAIN forgot to remove)

4) Rebooted to fastboot and ./fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.5.2_11-0-UNOFFICIAL-denniz.img

5) Rebooted to TWRP, pushed the magisk apk file (instead of the zip....) and installed it

6) Tried to reboot to system but got into a limited boot loop (after trying to boot the system 3-4 times it would boot into recovery).

6.1) At this point I realized I should have already flashed the vbmeta.img and thought that might be the issue.

7) Indeed, after flashing vbmeta.img, the system would now boot. I had two problems though:

7.1) When asked for the pin to unlock, I inserted it but it would say wrong pin number. Still, it letted me in (??) I tried to factory reset on the system settings, but then when I provided the same pin it would flag it as wrong pin and would not let me reset). I solved this by rebooting into twrp and removing /data/system/locksettings.db. After that I was able to factory reset.

7.2) The second issue was what compelled me to do a factory reset: the phone interface after unlocking would be only the wallpaper, with no apps, no launchpad (dunno if that's the name on android), a and message "Turn Off...". I could access the settings through the notification bar, but some options were faded/not-selectable.

8. The factory reset did not help. So I thought maybe the issue was me having flashed the magisk apk instead of the zip. I flashed the zip and nothing changed.

9. So to top all of this, I read the above post by @Raygen and thought that maybe flashing the original recovery could help me get back the original stock rom. So, I flashed that boot image as recovery ./fastboot flash recovery boot.img

So, now, I have no TWRP, and I am on an infinite boot loop, I can't even access fastboot...any thoughts?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Raygen:
Hold up, why did you flashed boot.img in the recovery partition?

- The 7.2 issue usually fix itself after a reboot (dunno what causes it).

- Magisk doesn't play well with encryption on this phone I think. Remove every password / pin before rooting.

- You can remove any pin / password by formatting data with the stock recovery (and, well, this will wipe your phone too).

- To root, patch the boot.img with the magisk app

OR

flash magisk.zip directly through TWRP.

- Remeber to re-flash vbmeta after every OTA update.

To recover from your actual situation, flash the stock boot.img of your ROM version with ./fastboot flash boot boot.img, and flash the stock recovery with ./fastboot flash recovery recovery_stock.img. Reboot to recovery and choose Format data.

You should be back to stock, without any pin or root, and with the patched vbmeta still flashed.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] extranoob:
I thought it was the stock recovery...Should I have flashed this as boot ./fastboot flash boot boot.img? If so, that explains why I don't have a working recovery anymore.

It didn't, I rebooted several times, did a factory reset, and it still persisted.

Yes, I figured that was a major problem...I should have better RTFM, my fault here!

Can I root without flashing the TWRP? Like just booting from it as an external dependency, but without flashing it? Or do I always have to flash TWRP to get Magisk on the phone?

Thank you, I'd very much like to do so. But I can't even access fastboot, the phone is in a continuous bootlop, and no matter what combination of keys (power + vol+, power + vol-, vol+ + vol-), I can't get to fastboot or recovery.

I just bought the phone, so I'm thinking of returning it and asking for a new one. To avoid screwing this up again, on the new phone I'd like to make a backup copy of the stock boot.img and the stock recovery.img. Is it possible to do so? I figure one could to a backup with TWRP, but will this get me the two separate images?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] exis_tenz:
Hi Pankspoo, any luck testing yet?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Raygen:
You can try using the command fastboot boot twrp.img to boot into TWRP without flashing it, yes.

"twrp.img" being the twrp image on your pc.

That's strange, you should be able to at least turn it off from a bootloop by pressing and holding down power + vol+, and then, as soon it turns off, switch to press and hold down all 3 buttons power + vol+ + vol-.

This should reboot you to bootloader mode (fastboot).

If it doesn't work, try doing the same thing, but by keeping the phone connected via a usb cable to the pc. In that case it should reboot to

BROM mode

, which looks like the phone is just shut down, without anything on the screen.

To backup and restore all your partitions you can use this script: https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-no-root-partitionsbackupper-nandroid-alternative.4366055/

Tomarrow
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] extranoob:
Thanks Raygen, I will try to flash magisk into the phone this way then! If it doesn't work, I'll flash TWRP before.

I can indeed shut it down with power + vol+. The 3 buttons at the same time I haven't tried yet, but I already packed this one and asked Amazon for a new one, so better not screw with this one anymore. But the tip might be handy with the new phone.

With the phone connected via USB cable I can't even shut it down and the boot loop goes on indefinitely. Again, I have not tried with the 3 buttons.

Perfect, thank you! I'll keep you posted when I have an update.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] dead_seth:
I'm on A19 (DN2103) can i instal twrp 3.6 and magisk 24.3 ?

If there is twrp 3.6.1 that would be great.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Raygen:
On A.19 EU with latest twrp and Magisk here, all is working great
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Quercy:
what is the best way to upgrade twrp 3.5 to 3.6. Thanks
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Raygen:
just flash 3.6 directly via fastboot or with twrp itself
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Quercy:
Thanks.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] extranoob:
@Raygen, I promised to update you, so there you go:

I managed to do everything right on the new phone, and had root, afwall running, beautiful. But it turns out there's no way (at least that I found) to successfully hide magisk from the bank apps, so I ended up relocking the bootloader (I posted how). Anyway, I'd like to thank you for your help! Cheers
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Raygen:
Nice to hear!

For Magisk I usually use this module, works well for all my banking apps.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] dead_seth:
I flash many times twrp (3.6.0) it works but in the end stock recovery come back.

Also i cant flash magisk via twrp (v24.2 zip) i can install the apk only.

I remove pins password locks everything and i did what first post says +i watched the video on youtube.

Whats going wrong?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] pankspoo:
When you first time boots twrp do one thing directly falsh magisk before rooting and then wipe data and reboot.

For magisk download magisk apk file and rename it as. Zip file and then flash.

If u can't able to access internal aftwr falshing twrp use otg and then falsh that magisk
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Quercy:
HI. Twrp updated. I flashed TWRP 3.6.img with Twrp. Flash OK, reboot in recovery mode OK. System reboot OK. Reboot in recovery mode to test Ok. Reboot system and there bootlooped with red point and white point turning. Any suggestion to get me out of this problem please ????
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] dead_seth:
Done. The trick was to rename the apk to zip..

I was flashing the original zip but an error come up, after rename the apk to zip, magisk(root) done.

If i want to enter in recovery can i with vol down+power or only via adb->fastboot?

The recovery will be twrp or the original?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Ceder78:
Sooo.. I think I messed up somewhere.. I managed to do all the steps but when I try to transfer files onto the phone I just get an empty transfer window and nothing ends up on phone storage..

If I check properties in explorer it just says "unknown" in used space..
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] pankspoo:
Do format data and reboot back to twrp it should work
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] pankspoo:
U can only use adb reboot recovery

Now it will be only twrp
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] chytrypch:
I have little question. Last time when i have fun with custom roms was when i have v30. If i install custom recovery and install intresting rom, i need to root device ? I wont have problems with gpay after magisk. Thanks
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] pankspoo:
Y

You don't need to root the device to install custom roms and it will not break ur safety net if u r using PE latest build available in development section

Hi,

One question please: which is the recommended TWRP version at the moment, 3.5 or 3.6?

I see that the 3.5 version has 1444 downloads compared to only 21 for the 3.6.

Is there a reason for that?

Thanks.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Ksimir01:
Hello, when I try to flash magisk in TWRP, TWRP crashes and reboots. Do you have a solution ?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] exis_tenz:
I use 3.6 and it works fine. Before you start realize that NANDroid does NOT work on both versions.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Froschface:
Thank you! I followed the guide and got my device rooted without any issues (TWRP 3.6.0 and Magisk 24.3). Seems to be stable so far. (y)

Maybe you could add these two points to your guide? They seem to be missing and might help others to make the process easier for them.

Between step 4 and 5 there should be an additional step that indicates the following:

Reboot the stystem with 'fastboot reboot'.

Load magisk-vXX.X.zip onto the phone (it simply can be downloaded from the official source and renamed from .apk to .zip).

Reboot into bootloader with 'adb reboot bootloader', to continue with step 5.

After step 7 there should be one last step:

After TWRP has loaded, click on 'install' and select magisk-vXX.X.zip, which you previously loaded onto the phone.

Confirm to flash magisk-vXX.X.zip, then reboot the system.

Every time I select and install magisk's zip file TWRP restarts.

Every time I reboot the phone TWRP needs to be fastbooted back...

Good evening.

I just tried to root a Oneplus Nord 2 5G (EU Edition) and got as far as:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

It always returns “error flashing partition” “volume full”

Unfortunately, the phone was upgraded to Android 12. Could that be the problem?

If so, how can I get back to Android 11 (bootloader is unlocked).

I do not want to fiddle too much with it, not to make things worse.

Thanks a lot for your help.

On Android 12 OnePlus removed fastbootmode so no unlocking nothing.

But how did u booted in fastbootmode on oos 12 i can't understand
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Audoghast:
Hello again.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Since I only flashed one phone more than 10 years ago, I followed everything by the letter.

The video clearly asked to update the system software (at the time to version 10). There was no mention of the disappearance of fastboot on version 12.

I cannot remember to which version I updated. I may still have version 11.

In any case fastboot works and adb commands are being accepted. It can also be put in fastboot via VOL UP, DN & POWER.

The last successful step was flashing the vbmeta image.

TWRP flashing results in “error flashing partition” “volume full”.

What shall I do now? Is there any test to run?

I am seriously at a loss here since I am sitting in front of a bricked phone.

There should also be a warning out not to update to version 12.

I would really appreciate your help and do not want to try out thousands of ideas from other websites.

Thank you again.

Hi, I successfully followed this procedure but had bootloop problem with twrp+root a few months ago and decided to stay unrooted for some times, I found that root may be stable if I followed these steps : https://gist.github.com/Giovix92/c7e69123dbc51adf3f3a26f9c3c0208e#rooting. Can someone confirm that root is stable (no bootoloop) with this procedure ?

Hi, thanks for the guide and help here. I followed the steps, and was able to unlock bootloader, flash vbmeta, but flashing recovery and then booting into it is failing because of error : "unknown reboot target recovery"

Before that,

0. My goals are just rooting, and preferably passing safety net. TWRP is not necessary, but I used it because it was in the guide.

1. I have Indian version

3. Build DN2101_11_A.11

4. When downloading TWRP from here, version twrp-3.6.0_11-0-UNOFFICIAL-denniz.img cannot find any mirrors, so I had to download version twrp-3.5.2_11-0-UNOFFICIAL-denniz.img

5. I am using Linux , and ubuntu provided android-tools-adb / android-tools-fastboot packages for ADB and fastboot

6. Error when rebooting into recovery

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Audoghast:
Hello everyone.

I had the „volume full“ error before and have now found the reason why which was quite embarrassing: my phone is a Oneplus Nord CE 5G and this is the wrong forum.

I do not know how I could overlook that but I did and I am sorry if anyone put in too much thought into my problem.

The TWRP.img file was wrong and hence the “volume full” message which appears in such cases.

The volume was not really full.

I will now move to the right forum here.

Thanks and goodbye.
