About Multiboot : A project to handle different ROMS at the same time so that you actually can use different ROMS without having to wipe up device to flash ROMS, it allows installation of more thn one ROM with all the features enabled.
USAGE​1. Decrypt your phone by following THIS guide, else you won't be able to use Multiroms.
2. Boot into your primary ROM and install the Dual Boot Patcher app
3. Open the app and go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer. It will ask if you want to set the kernel. Make sure that you do.
4. Go to "Patch ZIP file" in the navigation drawer and patch the ROM or zip you want to install. If you can't select the ZIP file without opening it (OxygenOS's file explorer does that as example) use Solid Explorer, ES File Explorer seems to crash the App for some reason.
5. If you want to dual-boot with OxygenOS you'll most likely have too less space in /system. Instead use the Data-Slot and give a name for it when asked.
6. (Optional) Before flashing GApps refer to the section "In-app flashing" below and come back once you've done that.
7. (Optional) Download GApps from HERE, select ARM64 and the version you want, download it onto your phone, choose "Patch ZIP file" once again and select the Data-Slot which it created for you already.
8. (Optional) To flash GApps simply refer to the section "In-app flashing" again.
In-app flashing​
To use in-app flashing, go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer, tap the floating button on the bottom right, and add the zips you want to install. You can queue multiple zips and they will all be flashed in one go. Once you've added all the zips you want to flash, click the check mark in the action bar and they will be flashed right away.

CURRENT ISSUES​
#since this is a work in progress please do consider having a look here
1. If you update ramdisk and reboot then the phone will reboot to recovery and not boot to rom. You will have to reflash your rom for it to boot.
2. Lots of other issues.
3. When setting a lock-code in your second ROM and boot back to your main ROM you'll probably be greeted with "Wrong PIN/Pattern". To fix this either delete the following files in TWRP or via ADB:
In /data/system: password.keym pattern.key, locksettings.db, locksettings.db-shm, locksettings.db-wal
After this step you can go back into your main ROM and set a lock-code again, now it should work.

Seems like no rom is working with this. I have informed @chenxiaolong but till then, I need logs from anyone who is trying this on any custom rom. You can find logs in the multiboot folder in your internal storage. Thank you.

If you remove encryption then this should work. Try using the data slot to install a custom ROM while you are on a custom ROM and please let me know if it worked. For those getting ramdisk issues, ?*just flash /sdcard/MultiBoot/primary/boot.img.before-ramdisk-update.img from TWRP.

How do I decrypt the OnePlus 3 tho? The Security>Encryption option does exactly nothing when I touch it...

Thanks…
I install second rom ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.0-20160703-oneplus3
But how I can switch to boot secondary rom??

Want to decrypt your device in order for this to work?
Here's how you can do that!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/unencrypt-oxygenos-loosing-data-t3412228/

Managed to recover from a "disaster" after trying to upgrade my main, primary ROM (OxygenOS)...
So, I downloaded OxygenOS 3.2.1 and SuperSU and patched it via Dualboot Patcher, so far so good.
Then I booted into my secondary ROM (Resurrection Remix) since flashing on the currently running ROM is not allowed.
Started the Flash on the second ROM, however I accidentally hit the recent apps key, once I switched back to Dualboot Patcher it crashed...
I panicked a little, I booted into TWRP and flashed both files from there (first OOS, then SuperSU to prevent it from encrypting again).
After that I rebooted, however immediately after rebooting the OnePlus logo came on, went black and rebooted into the OnePlus logo again. Well, nothing much wrong so far, that's usual SuperSU behavior.
After the second reboot my phone was stuck in a bootloop and got extremely hot, I left it sit there thinking it'd encrypt again due to me doing something wrong (this happens when you forget to flash SuperSU after OOS)
After almost 40 minutes, still nothing. So I went to my PC and took a look what logcat says: Java Fatal Exception, something battery related wasn't able to load up.
So I force-shutdown the device and booted back up, not even 20 seconds later it booted into Android like nothing before happened...
Lesson of this story: NEVER flash your primary ROM from the secondary one... ALWAYS patch the ZIP files first, then boot into TWRP, then flash them.

I installed a dual system rom for mistake and obviously cannot use it, I also installed a data dual rom which is working fine, my issue is that when I try to remove the dual system rom I cannot do it, even if I move to raw/system/multiboot and try to delete I can't, I tried to change the permission, to set raw folder as a writable folder but none of this tries work..any help?

I have been using multirom on nexus. I saw multirom is also there for OP3. currently on OP3 I have flashed multirom(that similar to Nexus) , then i came across this THREAD.
Just a noob question - how different it is from multirom?
No disrespect to the developer intended.

Tried with RR and AOSPA, didnt work, i think its not flashing the second ROM properly..?

Won't boot into system or fastboot

Hello,
Just got it and already bricked it, hooray.
I did the Nougat update and allowed modifications (the swipe in TWRP). I'm dumb
So here's everything I did :
First I used the Axon 7 Toolkit by BKORES to unlock bootloader and flash TWRP.
At step 9), It failed to boot TWRP even tho I could access it with power+volume.
It eventually would get stuck at the ZTE logo when I wanted to boot system.
I flashed SuperSU with an SD card in recovery.
So : Fastboot and system won't work. Recovery would, and so does bootloader from this.
What should I do ?

Nah this is a soft brick, nothing to worry about
Maybe your SuperSU did some bad stuff on the rom. For exampls if you flash SuperSU 2.79 or higher on Android 6 (at least in the stock rom) it won't boot. Maybe try flashing Magisk B13? I think it gets rid of SuperSU
There's a no-verity-opt-encrypt file too, somewhere in this forum, maybe in Kernels, ROMs thread. Maybe give it a shot
Another way is going back to the stock recovery and flash an official package. I have made an easy guide for the A2017G, not sure if it works on the U or chinese. you can find it over at Guides, should be pretty close to the top
If you have an A2017U you can get the DrakenFX system files and install them, maybe you can fix the stuff
Or take the easy way, and install a custom ROM. Not the best choice unless you're willing to withstand some small bugs and stuff. The way to install them is get the A2017X_Universal_Bootstack and corresponding modem for your model, plus the ROM and OpenGApps 7.1.2 arm64 (Or beansgapps if the rom specifies), and of course the ROM itself. You wipe system, data, caches (not necessarily internal) then flash the Universal Bootstack and tbe modem, then the ROM, then GApps if you want to have them, then Magisk or SuperSU if you want root (some roms come with self-installing Magisk in the same package, too).
Or use MiFlash and flash a complete stock image of your phone's system. That one works like a charm

Do you recommend some ROMs, kernels, etc ?

Nah, they are all mostly bad. The best of the bunch seems to be NucleaRom, it has an okay kernel (Radioactive, not too good battery-wise but I've never seen so little UI lag, like, ever) and okay features (like 1/3 of what ResurrectionRemix has), an awesome maintainer (OrdenKrieger) and boots in like 15 seconds
But the stock ROM is currently the best of them all, not battery wise (you can get some obscenely high SOT numbers on LineageOS with Substratum black themes) but it's fluid and stuff runs well on it. The status bar is hideous though, and MiFavor is white themed, on an AMOLED screen, what the crap ZTE?
Don't try PureNexus, permanent hard brick from the looks of it.
LineageOS works okay but it has some compatibility problems with some apps I use, dunno
I think you could try the dual-boot patcher, that way you can test the roms and keep a working stock rom to use it as your daily driver without losing data. i never used the dual boot patcher though, so good luck if you will use it

I've bad experiences with Dual boot on my old 1+.

WiFI doesnt work Show 02:00:00:00:00:00 mac address.

Hello to everybody, the wifi phone of my OP5 woked very well. One day I flashed one ROM, I dont remember what and broked the wifi, now show the typical broken mac address, I saw all the post even fixing nexus wifi phone but didnt work. I lnow that I need to upgrade to Oreo, now Im in Nougat, but the problem is when I flash the oreo stock rom the phone get a bootloop, I tryied everything so I need to forget upgrade. How can resolve this problem. I updated no stock ROM oreo like aiscp but the wifi not repair. I dont know what do. I tried with QPST QXSM but nothing I can repair my phone. Any help?. I tried too modificating all the files about wifi, wifi.bin (I dont remember the names) and didnt worked

If you are using TWRP make sure to update to latest codeworks version and in the wipe section select format data. This is necessary when moving from Nougat to Oreo on the OP5 if you are using a custom recovery. That will erase everything on your phone except TWRP. Plug your phone into a computer and it will show up like a USB drive. Copy and paste the Oreo ROM zip for stock OOS onto your phone. If you want to be rooted also copy the latest Magisk zip. Flash OOS zip within TWRP. If you boot into the system after that you will be 100% stock including recovery. If you want to be rooted and keep TWRP flash Magisk zip as well before booting into system. Given your circumstance I would highly recommend going 100% stock and making sure everything is working right again. You can always install TWRP and root again later.

i remember how i flashed blu spark kernel for custom rom, when i was at stock oos and get this broken wifi. try to look at that

[REQ] ZIP to install TWRP to ramdisk

Hello y'all,
I've noticed that on the Pixel 2 and on many other A/B devices, there is a twrp zip available that can be flashed after flashing the twrp image to boot and booting into recovery and flashing the stock boot image (like we do on the Essential) which patches the ramdisk in the stock boot.img to add twrp to it so that twrp can be permanently installed on the device.
If I could make something like this myself, I would have a long time ago, but unfortunately, it's over my head. Just curious why something like this has never been made for the Essential. Also, but much less important, TWRP 3.2.3-0 is about to be released (code is on GitHub), yet the latest available to us is version 3.2.1-1.
I know one of you smart devs could make the zip to install twrp to the ramdisk (and possibly build the latest version of twrp also) probably in almost no time at all. I love my Essential, but having to connect it to a PC just to get into TWRP is very irritating.
When one of you guys have the time, could you give it a try? I'd be happy to test whatever you come up with.
Much thanks!

It's definitely possible but I don't know how many Devs would want to take this up. I'm all for the idea, I really miss having TWRP permanently, but you kinda get used to the whole PC flashing thang.
I don't know how different the Pixel 2 is in comparison to the Essential phone, but they both share A/B partitions, so it wouldn't be too outlandish if someone were able to port something like this over to our Mata's down the road.

The problem lies in the way our touch driver is implemented. For lack of a better explanation, what good would it do to need to carry a type c mouse around to use twrp if touch doesn't work. Many many people have tried and failed getting touch to work on Oreo source, let alone P. That is why twrp resides on a nougat kernel meant for LOS. Someone I know even rewrote the driver in c, no go. It's gonna be tough sledding.

Does it have to be touch though? Could it be more old school clockworkmod recovery where you use the buttons or really like default recovery. I don't know enough about it but just a thought. You definitely get use to just downloading and flashing in twrp and it would be cool to find that with the PH-1.

Atleaset there is a way to use TWRP on the fly.
1) Root the phone the first time using the PC.
2) Copy the TWRP and boot.img(rooted) files to the Phone.
3) While booted and rooted, use apps like Rashr - Flash Tool or Flashify available on the playstore to flash TWRP and boot to it.
4) Once you are done using TWRP, flash the boot.img and boot to the phone.

Thanks for the explanation. Now I understand why it hasn't been done before.
But why the issue with touch in TWRP with an Oreo kernel in the first place? What's so special/different/difficult about the touch driver that the Essential uses? And why does it work fine with TWRP with a Nougat kernel? No other devices (to my knowledge) have this issue.
Edit: I wonder if since TWRP worked with the touch driver from the Nougat kernel, if it could work with the P kernel? Maybe whatever was changed in Oreo that prevented it from working has been fixed?

Hbtp_daemon (touchscreen) doesn't work in twrp on 8.x and newer sources.
Hbtp_daemon runs in userspace iirc, which is the problem. So an entire driver needs to be hogged together in order to get twrp to work. same process that worked on N doesn't work now.

Not possible to use the driver in userspace after TWRP decrypts the device (userspace) using the default password (after any patterns or pins are removed from the lockscreen)?
Edit: And what the heck is the driver doing in userspace anyway? Shouldn't it be in /vendor? If the driver is in userspace, then how can the touchscreen work after a factory reset?

The new Lineage Recovery is not bad but I see no way to apply other zips like Magisk. Maybe it can be worked on and adapted. No touch , just button control.

It doesn't after you lets say flash magisk and gapps they create a script in /system/addon....and when updatting lineage it runs the scripts in the addon folder which is how gapps and magisk get installed to the new updated system and boot.....first magisk and gapps have to be flashed in twrp....after that u shudnt need it on dirty flashes

@aer0zer0
This seems like the easiest solution to getting TWRP working on the Oreo and P boot images and being able to keep it permanently installed in ramdisk. Make TWRP use the volume up/down keys for scrolling and the power key to select. If the touchscreen is soooo difficult to get working, forget it. If someone really wants to use the touchscreen, they can use the existing TWRP version built on the Nougat boot image.

What can you do in Lineage recovery if you can't flash zips? Can you make backups? What else can you do? If you have it installed, could you attach a pic (assuming you have another phone/camera)?

Has anyone looked in the stock P kernel? I was poking around and noticed some twrp residual files. This was straight from the images zip from essential. I didn't touch it.Wth are they in there for? Could they have a better twrp on the back burner for kernel development purposes for Essential? It was in the ramdisk, ill look again tomorrow when I unpack the boot.img. it would make sense to have it in ramdisk, pixel 2 has it like that. Ill post screenshots after work. But, the conversation looks good folks, you are on to something. We could always bust out some phillz recovery, or clockwork mod.

I would say it is more stock-ish as far as recoverys go. It's a stock LOS recovery. You can factory reset, flash or sideload update.zips or signed zips no regular custom ROM zips or magisk. It is meant to run on LOS, it only runs on LOS actually and not made for the flashaholics out there. It's a good start though.
Sorry, out right now and no other phone/camera handy.

Just wanted to mention this works perfectly, tried it last night was able to get into TWRP and then back into my P Beta 3 with root, no issues. Thanks for this!

One could also theoretically copy a copy of the twrp boot. Img to the ex kernel manager backup file, and while booted into the system, hit restore kernel and since its in the boot partition it will flash it then reboot into recovery. Then from there flash your normal kernel and boot back to system/android.. i backup all my kernels after rooting them so after flashing otas, i can just flash my prerooted kernel and reboot without having to flash magisk
Edit. This works, i just did it, but u must make it reboot to bootloader to then tell it to reboot recovery. I dont know if flashify is the same

Hey, I'm just curious, before I try it, anyway when using flashify and selecting flash zip - does a recovery other than stock need to be present?

Not sure what you mean by that but to be honest all I did was take the TWRP11.img, and flashed it to boot (kernel) using Rashr, Flashify didn't load up oddly, then reboot to bootloader, select Recovery and bam, there was TWRP. Then to get back I just flashed my boot.img, and Magisk and all my modules and everything were all good to go. No issues at all. ?
Edit: as long as you have TWRP.img, your boot.img, and Magisk, you can easily get to TWRP and back, just make sure you have the img's you need and boom we all got TWRP on the fly.
Wish I had tried this sooner.

Then to get back I just flashed my boot.img, and Magisk and all my modules and everything were all good to go. No issues at all. ?
Edit: as long as you have TWRP.img, your boot.img, and Magisk, you can easily get to TWRP and back, just make sure you have the img's you need and boom we all got TWRP on the fly.
Wish I had tried this sooner.

Hey, Rashr doesn't support this device(phone). I get a reboot to recovery option and if I tap cancel the app just closes. Did the app identify what it needed to?
In Flashify there are 3 options ,Flash - kernel,boot, and zip. What I'm curious about is , when choosing just the zip option - would twrp first need to be flashed to the boot partition?

Fresh 6T on Pie. Flashed Lineage 16 and TWRP; cannot get past encryption for GApps

Hello All,
I picked up a OP 6T from Amazon and would like to run Lineage 16.0 and load GApps, along with a number of other apps. I have TWRP Fajita (bluespark) installed and can boot to it. I also have Lineage 16 flashed as my ROM on Slot A, to which I can also successfully boot. I have Mind the GApps .zip ARM64 version on internal storage root.
Prior to flashing Lineage, I also loaded Magisk, which is still there as an app.
In trying to load MtheGApps, I cannot get past encryption in TWRP. TWRP prompts for a password, but I have no idea what that might be. I've read (somewhere) that the password is the pin I defined for my opening screen in Lineage, which I know. That does not work. I also have fingerprint enabled and have defined a print. The pin and finger get me into lineage without any trouble.
All of this is on slot A. Slot B seems to holds an older T-Mobile ROM, which I booted at some point. Not really interested in that, so eventually, I'll want to know what to do with that slot. I'll also want to root Lineage.
Maybe I should start from scratch? ( not sure how to get back there). Any guidance greatly appreciated!

It's like that because you didn't format data. Also you can't have OOS on one slot, and an AOSP ROM on another slot.
Here's the LOS install instructions I've been posting / using for clean / first installs.
Note the part in the begining about using 9.0.17 or 10.3.1 depending on which version of LOS you are using. Don't mix Android 10 and 9. Any questions ask.
Also note when Magisk is flashed those instructions. You're close, just missed a couple steps.

Next Steps...

OK, finally getting back to this...
I currently have LOS 16 and twrp fajita 3.2.3-2 onboard, as well as Magisk Manager (but not magisk - shows red question mark and "magisk not installed" in Magisk mgr.).
I want to go to LOS 17, load gapps and root to remove redundant apps.
First, I need to I need to get back to stock ROM before anything else, right? I've downloaded 10.0.1-OnePlus6TOxygen_34_OTA_041_all_1911142208_af338-FASTBOOT.zip
I'll also need LOS 17.X, correct? I have this: lineage-17.1-20200104_020517-UNOFFICIAL-fajita.zip
I'll need the Q version of TWRP, right? Still looking for that. Is this version of TWRP specific to the OP 6T, or specific to Android 10? Other?
I'll need the ARM64 , Android 10 version of mindthegapps (mindthegaps supports A/B architecture, right?). Still looking for that. I've found "GApps", but not "mindthegapps". There's also "bitgapps". Should I consider this?
I'll need magisk manager. magisk uninstaller and magisk, correct? I have MagiskManager-v7.5.1.apk, Magisk-v20.3.zip and Magisk-uninstaller-20200110.zip. Not sure if these are the right ones..
I think the main thing I need help with is getting back to the stock ROM. Guessing that would be OOS10. Once I get there, there are lots of instructions around on how to get to LOS 17.
Thank you!!

Your version of TWRP could be part of the problem. This is the thread for the official maintainer, use these builds of TWRP even though they say "unofficial." Q is for Android 10, Pie is for Android 9. For LOS 17, download the 3.3.1-32 versions. Remember you are booting the img files, the Q version, you use the same installer for both versions of Android.
To go to LOS 17 you need Android 10 on both slots. Doesn't matter how you get there. 10.3.1 is the latest version from OP, so there is technically a newer version than what you downloaded.
Fastboot ROM page.
You have a few options:
- You can also update using TWRP, and flashing the OTA full ZIP. Just be aware, you need to flash the OTA zip, flash the TWRP installer, reboot to recovery, flash the OTA zip again. Reboot. At this point the phone won't boot, it will just go to stock recovery, wipe data (factory reset), and it should boot up into OOS. Then boot your TWRP img, install TWRP, boot to recovery, start the LOS install I linked to above.
- Use the fastboot ROM. Again as above this will require TWRP installation, etc.
- My least favorite, the MSMTool. My opinion, is the MSMTool should always be a last resort as it locks your bootloader. You can unlocking afterwards again, but if something goes wrong, it could be a bad thing. I just always try every other option before jumping to this one.
As for Gapps, I just use OpenGapps. At this point you don't even have to mess with their test or beta folders anymore. You can just select it from their homepage, and download Android 10 gapps. OpenGapps page, the 6T is Arm64, LOS17 is Android 10, I always use Nano
As for Magisk, yes 20.3. The uninstaller you don't really need as this will essentially be a clean install. The 20.3 zip will also install the Magisk Manager app.
Hopefully that clears some things up?

It did clear some things up, thank you. However, I still end up at the Qualcomm CrashDump Screen of Death. this happens at the very end of the process, after the second load of LOS 17 and TWRP Installer, while rebooting to recovery from the TWRP .img. I'm going to list every step I take and all of the files I use. There are a couple of places where I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing, and/or the outcome of that step is not as expected.
1. Download all of files:
TWRP Q .img
TWRP Installer
OP OS 10.3.1 Fastboot ROM
lineage-17.1-20200223_133843-UNOFFICIAL-fajita.zip
First step is to flash Oxygen 10 and TWRP Recovery to both slots. I unpack the OOS Fastboot ROM zip on my laptop, boot to my 6t's bootloader and connect that to my laptop. After making sure ADB/Fastboot sees the device, I run "flash-all.bat" by clicking on it. This seems to load OOS just fine. The phone boots to OOS and I turn the phone off.
(I've done all of this several times and there are variants: I've tried becoming a developer and turning on the advanced boot options in OOS 10, but I don't think that matters, as long as I can get back to the bootloader or recovery. Let me know if that is incorrect).
At this point, your instructions say
"reboot to recovery, flash the OTA zip again."
I've tried moving the OOS fastboot zip file to my phone and flashing from TWRP, but that doesn't work. I get an error complaining of wrong format. It seems to me, a Fastboot ROM can only be flashed from adb/flashboot. Is that correct?
Therefore, I have been going back to the bootloader and re-flashing OOS 10 from adb fastboot again. After this step, contrary to your guidance above, the phone does indeed boot directly to OOS.... A loooong, what seems to be initial boot. I then turn off the phone.
I reboot to recovery again - and it is now the stock recovery - so I follow your guidance to factory reset from there. It does boot into OOS, and it is another looonnng boot. I then turn off the phone, return to the bootloader, flash the TWRP .img, install the TWRP installer and move on to the LOS 17 process linked to above.
Though I'm not sure it's necessary, I follow these steps from the beginning of he process:
Install 10.3.0 fastboot ROM again to start over, boot it once. Just to make sure everything is good.
- Reboot to fastboot.
- Boot the Q image of TWRP.
- Run the TWRP installer, reboot to recovery
Everything seems to work well, so I follow these steps, all from TWRP:
- Factory reset (This is the slider at the bottom in the wipe menu).
- Format data. (This is the button that says Format data in the wipe menu)
- Do NOT wipe cache, do not Wipe system, do NOT Wipe Dalvik / ART, do not add anything else, Just Factory Reset and Format Data. After doing those two Reboot to Recovery one more time. You must do this after formatting data.
I do all of the steps below, with no problems:
- Now transfer Lineage and TWRP to your phone, Windows / Linux should see TWRP fine as a media device when plugged in.
- Install Lineage
Just a note at this point, to highlight that this is done from TWRP, as opposed to using adb fastboot as with OOS10. This is what I've done with ROM's in the past; the fastboot ROM thing is new to me.
Next, I
- Run the TWRP Installer.
- Reboot to Recovery.
- Install Lineage (You need Lineage on both slots, so yes run it again)
- Run the TWRP Installer (yes again).
- Reboot to Recovery
This is where things go bad. In this reboot to recovery, the TWRP splash screen sits there for a long time, and then the Qualcomm CrashDump Screen of Death (QCDSoD) appears. If I hold the power button down for long time, the QCDSoD disappears and the phone reboots and starts to load LOS. Then, it switches to TWRP splash screen, and as before, end with the QCCDSoD.
I've been through this entire process maybe three times. Always the same outcome (you know what they say, about doing the same things and expecting different results...)
I did note, that on the OS Fastboot ROM page, there was some discussion of "Branded" phones, specifically T-Mobile phones. When I first got this phone, after loading TWRP, I swapped active slots. On the new, active slot, I booted the phone, and it was to a T-Mobile ROM. Not sure if that plays any part in all of this.
Appreciate your hanging with me. I'm going to rest my fingers

Is this a TMobile 6T?

After a little research, it appears that it is a T-Mobile variant: the A6013. And, well.... I guess this may be a clue...

I'm guessing this is the source of my problem. Do you agree?
My research suggests the T-Mobile variant can be converted to "Global", but I'm wondering if it may just be more efficient to return this phone to Amazon with OOS 9 or 10 on it and buy the Global variant (A6010?)

Yeap, you have a TMobile 6T. A TMobile 6T is not a Global 6T, and even a "converted" TMobile 6T is not a Global 6T. They still require special instructions at points, and do different things. The instructions above will work perfect for a Global 6T. They (TMobile 6Ts) tend to be cheaper, but tend to have some gotchas with them.

Thanks! I like the 6T, so I guess I'm gonna get a Global. I'll get back to this, when I have that phone in-hand. Will slowly chug away on my Moto G6 until then. More to come...

Oh... Should I have any trouble putting an Oxygen 9 ROM ( or 10) on both slots without TWRP, before sending it back? Guess I'll need to re-lock the bootloader too.

You could always use a T-Mobile MSM Tool ?

MSM Tools are usually my last resort as they relock the bootloader, but in this case, it's what you are after.

OK... Back this this!
This is the what I ordered to replace the T-Mobile variant I had. It arrived yesterday. Is this the "global" model, or did I again purchase the wrong phone?
This phone is a dual sim, so it is definitely different from the one I had. Model number from System Info is A6010_41_200115.
Behavior is exactly as before. First, I'm loading the Android 10 version of the OP Oxygen Rom. After the second install of the OTA as advised below...
- You can also update using TWRP, and flashing the OTA full ZIP. Just be aware, you need to flash the OTA zip, flash the TWRP installer, reboot to recovery, flash the OTA zip again. Reboot. At this point the phone won't boot, it will just go to stock recovery, wipe data (factory reset), and it should boot up into OOS. Then boot your TWRP img, install TWRP, boot to recovery, start the LOS install I linked to above.
...rather than going directly to stock recovery, the phone DOES boot to OOS. To get to recovery, I go through the minimal necessary setup steps to access the settings, so I can activate developer mode, enable advanced reboot and enable USB debug. Then I reboot to recovery (stock), perform the wipe and reset. I then reboot to Fastboot and flash the TWRP .img using adb/fastboot on my PC. I then txfr the TWRP install .zip to root and install that. All of this SEEMS to go well, but again, there's that unexpected reboot to OOS as highlighted above.
Next, I move on to the LOS 17 load.
This goes well, until I complete the second load of TWRP Installer and reboot to recovery. When I execute that step, the TWRP splash screen appears and stays there for 30-45 seconds, and then turns to the QualComm CrashDump Mode Screen.
:crying:
I guess the first thing is to determine, If I have the correct phone ....

So if I get this right, you're trying to install LOS 17 on your OnePlus 6T which is running OOS 10? Also you have the international variant.

He's got the China version this time, which I believe is minus a couple LTE bands (not a deal breaker necessarily, but not ideal). Does this change his install process since it would have originally had HOS on it?

Yes, but...

Yes, my goal is to have Lineage OS 17 (Android 10/Q) on a OnePlus 6T. Hopefully on the phone I have now, but on whatever 6T variant I need to get. I like the phone.
I tried before with a T-Mobile version of the A6013, and I could not get there. @OhioYJ offered some assistance and suggested the problem was the phone being a T-Mobile variant; that I needed a "Global" version. Therefore, I returned that phone and purchased an "International" A6010_41_200115. Is this the Global variant?
I've followed the processes detailed above on both phones and wound up at exactly the same place: The QUALCOMM CrashDump Mode screen. This happens after the second install of TWRP, when I reboot to Recovery.
In both cases, the phones came with OOS 9, and I'm updating to OOS10 via the Fastboot ROM before proceeding to LOS 17.
Is it possible to get to LOS 17 on the phone I have now?
Thanks!!!

This would be the global variant, wouldn't it? An A6013 with both GSM and CDMA...?

Mine is an A6013, I checked the phone and original box. I bought mine straight from OnePlus. TMobile ones will only have a single IMEI. The "Real" 6T will be dual sim and have two separate, unique IMEI numbers.

Do this. Download the latest OOS 10.3.2 from OnePlus's Website. As well as latest Unofficial TWRP Image and Installer. Grab the Q Image, not the Pie one. The latest TWRP version as of now is 3.3.1-32. Now Boot to TWRP. Flash the OOS ZIP File and then TWRP Installer. Reboot to Recovery and again flash the OOS ZIP and TWRP Installer. Once that's done, you can once again Reboot to Recovery. Now, flash the Latest LineageOS 17.1 ZIP file and TWRP Installer. Reboot to Recovery one last time and flash Gapps. After that Format Data and Reboot System. You should now hopefully boot into Android.

Do this. Download the latest OOS 10.3.2 from OnePlus's Website. As well as latest Unofficial TWRP Image and Installer. Grab the Q Image, not the Pie one. The latest TWRP version as of now is 3.3.1-32. Now Boot to TWRP. Flash the OOS ZIP File and then TWRP Installer. Reboot to Recovery and again flash the OOS ZIP and TWRP Installer. Once that's done, you can once again Reboot to Recovery. Now, flash the Latest LineageOS 17.1 ZIP file and TWRP Installer. Reboot to Recovery one last time and flash Gapps. After that Format Data and Reboot System. You should now hopefully boot into Android.

I did as you suggested. As with my first phone (a T-Mobile variant), when I perform the reboot to recovery after flashing LOS 17 and TWRP, the TWRP intro screen appears for a long time ( 30 seconds + ). When it finally disappears, the Qual. Crash Dump Screen appears. By holding the power button for about 10 seconds, the phone reboots to LOS. After booting, I can navigate within LOS, but a warning flashes for a few milliseconds, about every ten seconds. I was able to capture a screenshot of the warning from the video I just linked to:
This continues to occur: if I try to reboot to recovery, the TWRP screen appears, lingers and then changes to the Qual Crash Dump screen. At this point, when I hold the power button for about 10 seconds, the phone boots to LOS. When LOS is running, the warning continues to appear at regular intervals.
Thinking I may just go for another phone, preferably one that supports GSM and CDMA, but at least a US, non-T-mobile phone with all of the GSM Bands. They are a little pricey though.
Happy to try other things with this phone though, if it might help further understanding of these phones.

Looking for w Breakthrough...

Gentleman,
I hope this update finds you and your loved ones safe, in this scary time.
I am still trying to get LOS 17 on my OP 6T, and I Keep ending up at the same place.: Qualcomm CrashDump Screen. l'm using the fastboot ROM's, and using those does not completely align with this part of OhioYJ's instructions:
- You can also update using TWRP, and flashing the OTA full ZIP. Just be aware, you need to flash the OTA zip, flash the TWRP installer, reboot to recovery, flash the OTA zip again. Reboot. At this point the phone won't boot, it will just go to stock recovery, wipe data (factory reset), and it should boot up into OOS. Then boot your TWRP img, install TWRP, boot to recovery, start the LOS install I linked to above.
OhioYJ mentions "flashing the OTA Full .zip". The Fastboot ROM's have "OTA" in their labels and they are .zip files, but they will not flash in TWRP. They error out. They do run - and flash - from the bootloader, and this is what I've been doing. I'm guessing there are other, TWRP flasheable .zip files for the 6T. Maybe I should try those? Can't seem to find them. If so, can you point them out to me, please?
I humbly ask that you review this thread, looking closely at your guidance and my responses. I keep ending up at the same place - the Qualcom CrashDump Mode Screen.
Thanks!
