Hello,
I'm on a rooted N6P with ElementalX and TWRP (both latest versions).
I used Flashfire to flash the September security update image. I chose that Flashfire boot into TWRP when flashing the image was done and I re-flashed Xposed and ElementalX, wiped cache/dalvik and rebooted.
All was well, the apps were being optimized, when that finished, I got stuck on: "Preparing Contacts Storage".
It's been like that for about half an hour now.
I really need your help to get the phone booted again.
Thanks!
Update: Solved. I went into TWRP file manager, /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf and deleted the "modules.list" file. The phone booted normally. I then went to TWRP and reflashed Xposed. Everything is fine now.

Hi, I just dirty flashed my phone through OTA from OB5 to OB6. I currently can't boot into my phone, but recovery and everything works.
I'm using twrp 3.2.1.0 codeworx. I can boot into my lockscreen but the moment it loads it says "Shutting down". If I install Magisk 16.0 it just tries to boot, then fails and jumps to recovery.
At least my data isn't encrypted anymore, but what can I do about this? When I try to sideload the OB5 ROM it says can't read zip.
Also it's interesting how my recovery gets reset every time that happens.
From my knowledge you should make clean flash as android 8.0 and 8.1 are different versions
You didn't removed all the overlays from substratum, navigate with twrp's file manager into /data/system and delete overlays.xml

Thanks for the suggestion. I also feel a feeling that it's substratum because I made the mistake of updating with layers still installed. I tried flashing the substratum rescue zip, both legacy and non-legacy, and also deleting the file as you suggested but I'm still getting that immediate "shutting down" error.

For my personal experience, I took the OTA and had no problems rebooting. I'm also fully stock with no root or custom recovery; I don't know if that affected my flash and reboot. I bought my OP5 used from Swappa. When I got it, I clean flashed the OB5 and then today I took the OTA for OB6.
I was on ob05, twrp 8.71. Received ota, full zip, on the phone. Dirty flash workt fine for me. Phone booted ok. Of course, recovery was gone. Reflash recovery. Reboot to recovery. Flash Magisk 16. All ok.
Bootloop was caused by https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/themes/op5-oos-oreo-official-fix-blue-3rd-t3727238/ for me. After disabling the module with https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-tool-magisk-manager-recovery-mode-t3693165 it's booting properly
I've had this happen before on other phones, usually fixed by just installing a different rom or restoring a backup. Not here.
I finally unlocked my bootloader on the XT1607 (the Motorola site just randomly worked one day), installed TWRP & the 7.1.1 Soak Test (from here). I forgot to backup 6.0.1, so I backed up the soak test which was booting and working flawlessly. I was using it for a while, but I did a factory reset inside TWRP and it randomly said "cannot mount storage" and when I rebooted, it was into TWRP. It wasn't working at all, so I got LineageOS 15.1 and flashed that. Same error, "cannot mount storage" and back to TWRP. I went into Wipe>Format Data and then reinstalled Lineage. The "cannot mount storage" error was gone, but still booting into TWRP. I tried AOSP Extended, CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android. roms with gapps, roms without, with & without supersu or magisk. Nothing worked. So then I thought that restoring my backup (of all partitions) would fix the issue. It didn't, still booting back into TWRP. I'd also like to mention that plugging the phone in still worked, I can view the files in file manager, sd card works, etc.
So, no clue what to do here. What's wrong? It all started with that simple factory reset from twrp.
edit: I found that if I boot into bootloader and press start it will go into android, but hardly a permanent solution.
Same thing happened to me but my issue resolved after restoring back to stock rom with stock recovery and after that u can again flash twrp it will work fine

Heyyy, thanks man. Worked like a charm.
I've decided to unlock bootloader, get a custom recovery and root my new LG G6 H870, so I've downloaded Melina TWRP v321 and Magisk v16.
Unlocking went well, then I downloaded drivers, unlocked debugging, "adb reboot bootloader" -> "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" -> unplug usb -> boot into twrp by pressing volume down + power (with a tap) -> some weird screen about encryption popped up, but I clicked through -> and then I proceeded to install Magisk straight away, cause this guide said it'd not let TWRP stick if I didn't. After that I tried to boot into system and start the real fun. But it booted me back into TWRP. Again and again.
From there, I've tried Wipe -> Factory Reset, Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Repair File System for Data and System, Wipe -> Format Data, Advanced -> Fix Contents, but it all ends with twrp boot... I'm completly lost at this point. I've flashed/rooted a few phones before, but this one... it's a real nightmare.
I've also tried flashing a stock kdz (the filename is "H87011i_00_EEO_GB_OP_0108.kdz" for anyone wondering) through LGUP and redoing this stuff, but I end up with the same result. Please advise how to get it working.
Did you use uppercut when you flashed the kdz file? This is needed to successfully flash back to stock.
Seems it didn't work correctly.

Yes, I did flash through Uppercut (v1).
Since this thread started I flashed it once again, but this time I tried installing official TWRP v321. There was no weird encryption screen, but there were a lot of msgs (when installing magisk or doing a backup, for example) about being unable to unmount /system because it was being used. I did manage to install Magisk though and boot up the phone, but then when I tried installing Xposed, the phone went into another weird loop... but this time, it would get stuck on LG screen and it'd start heating up very fast. It stops heating when I restart using volume down + power into recovery. But I'm once again stuck... this is incredibly annoying, are aall LG phones like that?
How you installing xposed?
Install it via magisk module.
I had no issue.
Unlocked BL
Flashed Zefie TWRP (most stable and backups work)
Flashed fulmics
Flashed Magisk
Wiped cache and dalvik.
Reboot.
Works fine and flashed this over 15 times now no issues ever.

Did you also have that weird encryption message when flashing Zefie TWRP? Could you be more specific about your way? As in, you wiped cache/dalvik only once or after every flash? Did you wipe anything else? And yeah, I've just downloaded Fulmics and I'm at the installation screen, but I clicked System Information and it says my Storage Size is 5417MB with 104MB free... it reads SDCard Size correctly though. Should I be worried?
Starting from fresh, out the box.
Unlocked bootloader.
Installed Zefie TWRP.
Then added fulmics zip to sdcard.
Flashed zip, followed on screen instructions.
Wiped dalvik and cache.
Rebooted.
Takes a few minutes.
Boots up and done.
Magisk was packed into fulmics when installed.
I do NOT touch xposed. Too many issues plus I need safetynet for Google pay.
Yeah, I pretty much flashed stock firmware back and then followed basicreece instructions, along with flashing Fulmics, but I've got the 'official' Twp (v321). And everything's working so far, but I didn't touch Xposed so far though since Fulmics had pretty much all I wanted from Xposed. Word of advice for future readers though: don't bother staying on stock, too many problems. Fulmics is basically stock, but with some really neat options, and a ton of bugs and problems less.
XT1644, re-installed TWRP-flashable Nougat 7.0 stock ROM, then ElementalX (G4-2.01), then booted and installed the kernel manager to verify ElementalX was installed correctly (it was), then rebooted and flashed Magisk, and now the phone won't boot. Gets stuck on the startup flash screen and doesn't move on. I've tried Magisk 19.3 and 19.2 with same results. I'm using TWRP 3.2.3-0 installed in recovery. I've also tried installing ElementalX and Magisk in the same TWRP session, and then it won't boot at all - stays stuck on a completely black screen. Up until I verified correct installation of ElementalX, I restored stock boot image in between each attempt. Since verifying ElementalX installation I've been restoring backed-up boot image w/ ElementalX. Anyway, would appreciate any advice on how to get Magisk working. Everything I'm finding online so far just says to make sure you install ElementalX or some other kernel update first, and then Magisk will work...but it's not working that way for me.
Try flashing older zips of Magisk. I was too encountered with the same problem past 2-3 weeks ago
Curious to know if an older version of Magisk was any help.
Hello everyone,
I was just casually rooting my Moto G4 Plus, but as the title says, I was unable to install Magisk on it. This is what happened:
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP 3.2.1-0. No problems at all.
I flashed the latest Magisk .zip, which is 20.2.
I reboot my phone, and the screen stays completely pitch black. Not even the "your device can't be trusted" warning comes up. The phone is bricked.
I was able to unbrick it by flashing the uninstaller. After doing that, the phone booted up fine. (Without Magisk installed, obviously.)
I noticed that the installation instructions said that "Installing Magisk for the first time REQUIRES a full data wipe."
So, I wiped my data partition and flashed the Magisk .zip again. Same problem as before (won't boot), except this time when I try flashing the uninstaller, it fails because it cannot access the Data partition (probably because I wiped it, right?)
Anyways, has anyone had this problem too? Please let me know.
Update: Unbricked by flashing stock rom. Flashed ElementalX, and then Magisk. Everything is all good now haha
Yes even i had to face same issues so flashed stock rom . There must be issues with the updated magisk build.
