Hello,
I have a big problem. I don't know what to do.
I wanted to make a clean install of OxygenOS 4.5.8 and so i downloaded it, did it on SD card together with Magisk and no_verity_op5.zip (because i read that this decrypt the data).
So i cleand data and installed no_verity_op5.zip via TWRP, but when i wanted to reboot it takes way to long (i waited 30minutes but it stays on boot circle)
After that i booted into TWRP and decided to made a factory reset and to install OxygonOS 4.5.8 in a clean version. But it was not possible anymore!
When i want to install the .zip it says Patching system image unconditionally... and it loads. after the blue is full it says:
writing static_nvbk image...
patching firmware images...
script succeeded: result was [1.000000]
And when i want to boot into system it says no OS installed.
I tried also to flash this rom or even any other custom rom through ADB Sideload but it does not work. Same like above..
What can i do? I do not know what to do
I hope my phone is not bricked.
Thank you for any suggestion.
Go to oneplus 5 official download page, download stock recovery and latest stock firmware and follow instructions on the download page.... But first with TWRP take a backup of all your data because restoring stock firmware will ERASE everything... Don't panic it will works
First off, don't panic! you're not bricked as long as you can reach your bootloader and recovery.
This happened to me as well and luckily the fix is easy!
You probably tried to flash the OxygenOS build from the Oneplus downloads right?
Somehow these won't flash properly through TWRP and you must therefore also flash the Oxygen recovery image listed in the downloads.
Here are some steps that'll fix your problem.
1 - Backup all of your private data from internal storage because flashing OxygenOS will WIPE/ENCRYPT all data on your device.
2 - Go to the Oneplus download center and download both the latest OxygenOS and it's appropriate recovery:
http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-5/oneplus_5_oxygenos_4.5.8
3 - Boot into your bootloader and flash the stock recovery you just downloaded. (fastboot flash recovery <recovery>.img)
4 - Boot into the Oxygen recovery and flash OxygenOS.
This should get you up and running again.
Once you get tired of OxygenOS simply reboot back into your bootloader and flash TWRP and any rom of your liking.
In the future if you want to flash OxygenOS from TWRP you have to grab a build from XDA I guess. I'm not entirely sure why flashing from within TWRP won't work with stock OOS but I believe it expects to be flashed from withing the stock recovery.
I'm pretty confident this will solve your problems.
Please backup your data first though, don't want anything to get messed up in there!
Good luck!
Ok thank you.
i will try it.
So you are right, i tried to install OxygenOS with TWRP.
So is it not possible to have official OxygenOS with TWRP, Magisk and Root?
So i cannot backup OxygenOS with TWRP?

It is possible to have both OxygenOS and TWRP for sure!
Only a clean flash from a non-encrypted state in TWRP seems to break stuff. You can use a modified OOS build from the forums.
TWRP can indeed backup your OOS install so that shouldn't be a problem.
The only exception seems to be flashing a clean install of OxygenOS (from Oneplus Download center) through TWRP.
Other than that everything works as expected.
Ok thank you.
So i will follow you instructions and i hope it will work.
And i think so.
And after it i will install TWRP again (because i need the backup tool), i will install magisk. will this work?
So i can use everything as in a custom rom, but cannot make a clean install? So official Oneplus OTA will work with TWRP or not?
Thank you soooo much!
Also, Magisk/root works just fine on OxygenOS.
Once you flashed OOS from the stock recovery and have everything set up simply boot into your bootloader and flash TWRP.
From there you flash Magisk and everything should be fine.
OTA's from Oneplus also install fine through TWRP as long as you go into Magisk and uninstall 'root' first. When OxygenOS tells you there's an update simply remove Magisk as I said above and it'll update fine.
Ok thank you!
It worked!!!!! I am very happy!
So i will now install TWRP, and then magisk (newest version).
I have a question, because the last time i installed magisk it did not fully work.
If i install it i have root or? But how can i get saftynet in magisk?

First off! YAY!! glad it worked out!
Be sure to use the TWRP build from the twrp.me website. The one listed on these forums are 'unofficial'. Not saying those are bad, but the official one has a pretty impressive track-record.
After flashing Magisk you are root-enabled so yeah, congrats you are now root! In order to pass safetynet you must enable 'magisk hide' in the magisk manager (the app that should now be installed on your phone).
If you do not have an app called 'magisk manager' then you can download this app from the magisk forums. It should however install itself while flashing the Magisk zip. So assuming you have it installed find the 'magisk hide' service and enable it.
From my experience you sometimes need to reboot in order for it to pass safetynet check.
Glad it all worked out for you!
Everything worked!
Now i have OxygenOS 4.5.8 (with OTAs in future), magisk + root + saftynet and i can install something throug TWRP and backup.
SO PERFEKT.
You are a hero

Can't you just connect your phone to your PC and use MTP for the file transfer? Make sure to have MTP disabled under TWRP-> Mount -> Enable MTP

Well just flash a different twrp via fastboot flash recovery *path to file*
I've flashed Magisk, but because I can't get Xposed to work, I'd like to remove Magisk and install SuperSU, but I don't know how. I tried to flash the uninstaller via TWRP and it says everything is fine, but after rebooting it just stays installed. If I try to flash SuperSU anyway I get stuck on boot. I have to flash stock boot.img via TWRP and then Magisk magically reappears. I tried using MiFlash but it refuses to do anything. It says no permission.
One possible solution, I guess, would be to flash stock ROM via TWRP. Can this be done? Any other ideas? Or am I just stuck with Magisk until a new version is available?

Magisk is pretty much "useless" for now. Because it is based on system-less root, and cannot be updated (because still in testing phase! Newer Xposed module from Magisk requires latest Magisk root binary, which is pretty out of option atm as we can't update to the latest binary). The only solution if you want to have proper root access is:
1. Head over to Xiaomi MIUI website and download the full stock ROM again, and then flash it via fastboot (choose flash_all_except_storage.bat if you want to preserve your data).
2. Once flashed, reboot back to bootloader and unlock it.
3. While still in bootloader flash the correct CF-Auto root boot image for your ROM (contains SuperSU 2.82 binary, https://desktop.firmware.mobi/device:1748)
4. Wait patiently and it will automatically reboot. Install SuperSU from Play Store if you want root management app.
5. If you need Xposed, download the Xposed apk from XDA and then install it normally (not via recovery).
6. ??? Profit
*DO NOT INSTALL permanent TWRP as it will cause your phone stuck in boot loop.
@soralz
Thanks for your help, but no luck. I understand what I'm supposed to do, but I can't get MiFlash to work. When I try to flash stock image I get a "Permission Denied" error. (I have unlocked my bootloader successfully). I tried flashing modified stock image from here But then I couldn't boot. My only solution is to flash stock boot.img via TWRP and I can boot, but I stay stuck with Magisk.
So far, the only options I can think of is to wait for a recovery-flashable ROM, a new software update or a new version of Magisk.

You couldn't boot, are you using permanent TWRP?
Have you tried download the Full ROM from here and run this (as attachment)?
http://en.miui.com/download-333.html
Btw, place the folder under 1 directory only eg: as attachment. (I tried in multiple directory eg: "D:\Phones\ROM\Stock ROM", it just wouldn't flash)
@soralz
OMG!!! I can't believe it. MiFlash refused to let me flash because I tried to do that from the wrong location. Weird??!!
Good. I’ve managed to follow your instructions and success!! Just a minor note, I couldn't flash the modified boot.img directly via fastboot, it still won't let me. But I just booted TWRP (without flashing) and then flashed it from there. Again, THANK YOU!
BTW, yes, I had flashed permanent TWRP and then unsuccessfully tried to remove it.

Oh you manage to fix that? Good for you then. And yes you cannot have permanent TWRP and SuperSU at the same time. The CF-auto root for me I just click root.bat and done. btw side note, you will lose root after each update, besure to check out the new patched boot image. I m sure in the future we will have automated process, don't need to re-root manually after each update
Hi,
I've downgraded my phone ZE520KL couple months ago but I've forgotten that VOLTE is only available on 7.0...
I've recieved the OTA notification, downloaded the package on the phone, but when it reboots it is going on TWRP & then if I'm rebooting it doesn't continue the upgrade process.
What am I missing? (on my previous phones this wasn't so tricky...) Should I use the Install method directly from TWRP? If Yes on which zip? Is it possible to find the one that I've downloaded directly with my phone?

Same like me before. Have you rooted your phone yet? if yes then try this, it work for me though (Backup your phone is recommended)
1. Download busybox, supersu and no-verity file
2. Using flashfire app, choose flash zip or ota option
3. Add ota 'WW-ZE520Kl-.....'
4. Add firmware 'UL-ASUS-....'
5. Remove tickmark from 'Inject supersu'
And flash, it will reboot but do not boot to system. You must boot to twrp, flash no-verity file, busybox and supersu or your phone will not boot. Then reboot, done.
If this method is helpful, do reply to me
Btw, sorry for my poor english.

Thanks, works wonderfully! Flashfire flashed the new OTAs successfully but the phone didn't then boot (or it bootlooped). A quick Google search led me to your response and the dm-verity file fixed the boot!
I also didn't flash Busybox in case you needed to know and before flashing the OTAs I checked the "Automount" and "Mount systeam as R/W" in Flashfire otherwise the app would just get stuck in a blank screen.
EDIT: WiFI isn't working, tried already deleting the files in /data/misc/wifi, /persist and /data/misc/dhcp as suggested in various threads but still nothing. Anyone know how to fix it before I attempt to do a full backup and wipe?

Deleting files in /data/misc is not helped. Try this:
1. Check your selinux permissive or enforcing. If permissive, you should re-root your phone. Remember to flash busybox too or it will may some crash. Still not working follow step 2.
2. Re-flash the ROM using twrp. No data will be lost. Don't forget to re-root or it will not boot.
3. Try the lastest fw .68 or .75 though someone told that the .28 ota file had issue on wifi.

Reflashing through TWRP worked Although I did it after backing up all the apps and did a factory reset which didn't even fix the wi-fi problem. But then Flashfire is useless if TWRP is capable of flashing OTAs right?

Not really. Since OTA file can't flash through twrp. It really annoying for someone (like me ), so for the easiest way is just flash it using Flashfire, no need to use computer to flash stock recovery .
@vEEGAZ
yep, that's what I've been saying for months. I've never used anything but TWRP to flash my phone. I've downgraded, gone custom and back to stock many times.

I flash OTA's through TWRP every time there's an update.

Yeah that's what I encountered aswell back 2-3 years ago, I remember I couldn't flash any OTAs via TWRP but apparently now you can. That's why I also used Flashfire in the first place but after running out of all options for the wi-fi problem I decided to give TWRP a try et voilà, it worked

I JUST did it....on 1711.75 now. There was no recovery partition update either so I didn't have to reflash TWRP after :good:
I did have a bootloop issue after but fixed that by flashing the no-verity file. I'm not sure if that's related to having magisk installed though.

1. After reflashing rom through twrp, i lost my twrp. Oh, but when i use Flasfire, it isn't lost.
2. Not sure but after flashing ROM your boot will change to normal so it may not related to magisk or supersu. Maybe it beacause of the twrp, i've tried reflash stock recovery once and i can updated it without flash no-verity file though i've installed magisk.

1. You will only lose TWRP if there is a recovery partition update in the stock firmware, yes, but that doesn't happen with every update. I think I read of a way to block it from updating the recovery partition but can't find the article right now. If flashfire works, use it, I just like TWRP for the other features like making and restoring nandroid backups.
2. I dirty flashed the update again through TWRP, verified the bootloop issue and then installed magisk (through TWRP) and it resolved the bootloop issue. No-verify file not required.

1.Ok, i got it.
2. The way using TWRP is keep the root ( root or not boot) and stock recovery is contrary ( can't root but will boot) or just flash custom kernel through twrp (not root required).
simple question :
- you are talking about OTA & Firmware...
I've downloaded again from asus website Version WW-V14.2020.1711.75 (I assume it is the latest firmware). Are you simply giving the example of an OTA that is released post the firmware version I have to install to have the 7.0 base?
Or is it anything that I'm missing...
From your explanations I should only :
- install flashfire
- flash the latest firmware
- boot into TWRP & flash no verity
- reboot the system
Right?

Yep, you can also flash the latest .zip via TWRP instead of using Flashfire, it's 100% working for me. Just REMEMBER to flash the no-verity file otherwise you'll end up in a bootloop.
I have newest oreo fw from asus website. Ive unlocked bootloader with official app. Now i want WTRP and root with magisk. I want to know how to flash updates to get all wroking?
1. Flash TWRP via fastboot?
2. Flash Magisk via TWRP?
3. When update will release i must flash whole fw from asus website with TWRP and then no-verity file to boot?
4. Or can i use flashfire app to flash fw from asus website and then no-verity zip?

The safest and true way to flash any ota update without any issues by using stock recovery, don't use twrp or flashfire or any other apps.
follow the steps below:
1. When you are rooted and twrp installed, to getback to full stock boot and recovery without wiping data, flash the latest raw image available. For oreo the latest available one for ze520kl is WW_ZE520KL_15.0410.1712.31_M3.10.47.16_Phone-user.raw.zip.
2. Now flash the ota update available normally via stock recovery.
3. Flash oreo support twrp-3.2.1-0 and magisk zip.
4. Done.
I'm periodically upload the latest available ota update for ze520kl in the ze520kl ota update links thread.
Here is the latest one.
So I tried updating to Oxygen is 5.0 ran into an install issue, stuck in boot loop. Lucky I had done a Nandroid back up and restore everything. The other night I decided to update to 5.1.1 thinking why not get Android 8.1.0 on my AWESOME phone. Downloaded update, placed in internal storage, booted into TWRP to do a Nandroid back up (due to issues with past update). Back up failed needed to clean drive. So I decided, phone works in Android 7.1.1, why can't what's not broken. Rebooted phone and somehow the update activated. I freaked since last time it failed and not stuck in a loop. This time update was successful but still got stuck in a boot loop. I plugged my phone to my computer and noticed all my files were gone on their install storage, no files / foldersI recognized (e.g. DCIM, DATA, DOWNLOAD, etc). Emailed One Plus and chatted with them. TWRP was gone and was back on stock recovery. Since all was lost I was asked to "Erase All". I did, rebooted and I'm now on 8.1.1 but all my stuff was lost. So I've done since searching and found FlashFire do to a Nandroid backup but need root. So my question is...
Can I re-root my phone without using TWRP but stock recovery and use FlashFire for my back ups? I am not going to flash custom ROM but if I need to flash something, wouldn't stock ROM flash anything on my phone (Magisk)?
If so, can anyone provide me with assistance on re-rooting my phone without TWRP.
Thank you
As far as i know you can't flash anything with stock recovery so you can't root. After flashing the stock os is normal that twrp is been erased by the stock. Just re flash the twrp. I mean, maybe i didn't get the problem, why you can't reflash twrp? If you do that flash twrp codeworx Universal with fastboot in the bootloader, boot in twrp, wipe cache/dalvik, flash magisk 15.3, wipe cache/dalvik, reboot system, update magisk to 16 with the app. I do that way and it worked

4 - Flash the full rom Oxygen OS 5.1.1 : http://otafsg.h2os.com/patch/amazon...23_OTA_034_all_1804201219_3824995916a49ee.zip
5 - Install magisk : https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v16.0/Magisk-v16.0.zip
6 - Clear cache / Dalvik
7 - You're all done, reboot the phone
8 - Once your phone has booted up, install magisk manager : https://github.com/topjohnwu/MagiskManager/releases/download/v5.7.0/MagiskManager-v5.7.0.apk

Hello, thanks for the info and yes, I did try flashing Magisk with stock recovery, while waiting for a reply and can confirm installation failed. So if I reflash TWRP, flashing Magisk using TWRP will work. Therefore, do you have instructions (step-by-step) on how to install TWRP. I have downloaded the latest TWRP image from their website (twrp-3.1.1-1 cheeseburger) onto my desktop. Bootloader is already unlocked as I was previously rooted under Android 7.1.
Thank you.

This is the official guide step by step, scroll down until you find "flashing twrp" if you had already unlocked the bootloader ( you already did that right??? xD). Anyway about the recovery and magisk version. The guys in the 5.1.1 thread advised to flash magisk 15.3 instead the 16 and only after the system reboot to make the upgrade to 16 with magisk app (dunno why). But when i tried to do that the last version of twrp (3.1.1-1) failed the flash. So i flashed the twrp 3.1.1-0-universal and 15.3 magisk. I can confirm this combination work, i can't tell for other combinations.

Hey there, sorry for the late response..but thank you for the assist..phone is rerooted..all is good..thanks again
I've been running custom roms since before android was a thing so I'm usually pretty good at this stuff.
I'm running 11.0.9.9 IN11AA
It refuses to root. I'm not sure if there is some step I'm missing that's so obvious nobody mentions it?
I was rooted, but when the new Magisk 23 came out without Magisk hide.. it was a big problem for me. I have corporate apps that will refuse to work on a rooted device. I restored the stock images (just like I do to get my OTA).. but then I uninstalled Magisk 23 and Installed 22.1. I then patched the bootloader (Dire3ct Install) and all was good, until I rebooted and had no root.
My bootloader is unlocked.
So I downloaded the full stock rom v11.0.9.9 IN11AA directly from Oneplus.
Extracted payload.bin
Used Payload dumper to get the proper boot.img.
Copied boot.img to my device and used magisk 22.1 to patch the file.
Downloaded the patched boot.img to my desktop.
Used ADB to flash it
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
fastboot flash boot_a patched_boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b patched_boot.img
fastboot reboot
Nothing. No Root.
I tried this over and over with different versions of magisk.
I tried downloading pre-patched version, and using fastboot boot patched_boot.img.
The device just hangs, and then boots using the stock image. No root.
I have no idea what could be wrong.
Ideas?
I just updated from v11.0.8.8 to v11.0.9.9 today on the EU variant.
Downloaded the update via Oxygen Updater, then used the built in updater with the local file downloaded.
Before restarting the device, opened up Magisk, then clicked "Install to inactive slot" since the new update gets put on the inactive slot. After it installed, rebooted the phone, and done. Updated to latest, and kept root. Didn't even turn off the modules, although I only have 1 installed.
This is my usual method to keep root while updating.
I'm not sure where you got your Magisk from, but i'm using v23.0 from the official github page (HERE), and it still has MagiskHide built-in, and currently using it for all of my banking apps, and it works.
Most likely the issue is that you have used the old Magisk version to patch the file.
Download the app from the link above, and use that to patch your boot.img file.
While the extracted file should work as flashed, I like to just boot from it rather than flash it and make it "permanent".
Use fastboot boot patched_boot.img to boot using the file once only.
After starting up, you should have Magisk installed in a couple of seconds. It might prompt you to restart the phone when opening it first time, but just ignore that and do not restart as you'll lose the root. Alternatively, you can install the app when you're not rooted yet, and when you boot using the patched boot.img, you won't need to restart.
When done, Magisk should tell that you have 23.0(23000) installed.
Then just use the built-in Install > Direct Install (Recommended) option within Magisk to install it to the current slot.
Do NOT install it to inactive slot. This option only to be used when updating via OTA.
Other option:
Download the Magisk app from the link above, and rename it to magisk.zip then copy it to your phone.
Download TWRP from HERE to your PC and use fastboot flash recovery twrp.img to flash this recovery.
Reboot to recovery. (Might take 2-3 mins to boot first time)
Flash the magisk.zip using recovery.
That's all you should need to be able to root.
I appreciate the help.
I was so hopeful you gave me what I needed, but it didn't work.
So, It wasn't an update issue... it was more of an attempt to downgrade Magisk.
I always OTA the same way as you and it always works.
I also always get Magisk from the official Github page.
What I got excited about was that I wasnt aware there was a working TWRP! So I thought.. THAT will fix it.
I didnt flash it, I just booted from it. I flashed Magisk that way, BUT... still not rooted.
Here is the interesting bit.. when flashing Magisk via TWRP, it detected that my boot.img was already Magisk patched and not stock (Which is right). It's like the boot.img is correctly patched, Magisk just isn't seeing it.
I'd be ok with a full wipe and factory reset at this point, but I'm not even sure that will fix it.
** Edit - I tried manually flashing the latest full OOS downloaded from Oneplus. It didnt help. I finally factory reset and it's working now.
This is my fav. root method.

Agreed, this is a great method. I tried that too before I ended up doing a reset... no good. I somehow broke something with the rom outside of Magisk so that Magisk wouldnt work. Whatever it was, A full wipe fixed it..
