HELP: Boot loop.. Disable Xposed or decrypt data w/pattern? - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Sooo... I got into bootloop trying to install Xposed on rooted 8.1 Official. Aaand I have a pattern lock on.... oops
Is there a way to disable Xposed from ADB, or boot (tried the button press thing, I get the two vibes, but not the rest)?
OR
is there a way to decrypt /data with my pattern without being able to boot? (I can boot into twrp or stock recovery and run ADB commands)
OR
is a data wipe my only option?

Wipe is not your only option.
You should be able to flash the stock 8.1 boot image and start over.
Xposed and Magisk require a patched boot image.
Go to the ROM section and download the 8.1 official and flash the boot to both boot_a and boot_b.
It should boot normally just no rooted.

Oh yeah.. served me right for experimenting with my phone while half asleep on Sunday morning.. i just posted this out of desperation hoping I'd come back from church and someone would have posted a fix.. I kind of had a duh moment and realized it myself once I had a moment..
But yes, you're correct. I just had to flash the non patched boot image.. thanks!

Hard/soft brick

I think I messed up my PH-1 something royally.
All I was trying to do is unlock my bootloader and load Magisk.
To preface this, my PH-1 seemed to act a little wonky from the get-go. I bought it 3rd person from a guy on craigslist so anything warranty involved I think I'm out of luck.
The phone would take a while to power on, it took something like 10secs on the power button just to turn it on. And if I set it to reboot , it boots into the bootloader. Also, I was never able to access the recovery (even using power + up). It always felt like I had to hold the buttons for way to long to get to its destination; e.g. up and power to get into fastboot.
Ok where I'm at now. In can occasionally get into fastboot mostly after it bootlooping a few times. It won't get past the Essential logo if I try to boot it up.
PS I was able to unlock the bootloader.
Steps I took to remedy this:
> erase all user data in fastboot
> hold power + u + d to hard power off
> follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/how-to/guide-rooting-essential-ph-1-magisk-t3701976
> attempt to install stock system image via flash-all
>a ton other
Here are the results of that.

This is also very helpful

That's the exact process I was going through, and it finally booted up.
The issue I was having was a bad usb connection which wouldn't allow me to unlock_critical.
SOLVED. Still no Magisk, we'll worry about that another time. 5hrs of troubleshooting is enough for one night.

You have to flash magisk in twrp recovery NOT bootloader mode.
It's right in the OP from the rooting guide you followed:
Do not set up a password if you are on 8.1 twrp doesn't work.
You need to read through that rooting guide and make sure you know what you're doing before you try.
This phone is easy to hard brick and there is no solution to recover from that.
OREO 8.0/8.1
REQUIREMENTS:
An unlocked bootloader.
A working ADB/Fastboot environment on your computer. Knowledge on how ADB and Fastboot works is also preferred.
The stock boot image for whatever build you're running/trying to root.
The latest TWRP build for our device.
If on 8.1, remove your pin/pattern/passcode until the root process is done.
1. Download both the stock boot image for whatever build you're running and the Magisk or SuperSU zip. Transfer both files to your device's internal storage.
2. Reboot your phone into the bootloader, then open up your command prompt or terminal and flash the latest TWRP build for the device using:
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
3. Once TWRP has finished flashing, reboot into your recovery. When prompted, enter your pattern/passcode/password to decrypt your data in order to gain access to your internal storage.
4. Once you're in TWRP, install the stock boot image and then the Magisk/SuperSU zip.
5. Whenever Magisk/SuperSU finishes installing, simply reboot your device! You should now be rooted.
*NOTE: TWRP will NOT remain installed on your device.

I realize all that, the issue is I cannot access any sort of recovery because I think my bootloader is defective.
For example from a cold restart if I press the power button for say 3 -5 seconds it wont boot, just boot to the Essential logo and loop. To get the phone to boot I have to hold the power down for 15-20 seconds while it bootloops a couple times then it'll boot.
Is there a possible way to reflash the bootloader software if it is defective? It's unlocked btw
There is a way to install magisk via fastboot with a patched_boot img which I'm working on. Cant seem to find the right boot img to patch for 8.1
PS Is it possible to flash .zips through fastboot? e.g. custom roms etc
Was finally able to get into recovery, so all is well. Thanks for the help yall
OP, what was your process to successfully get into recovery and fix your problems?
It may help others sometime?

It's really hard to say, my phone has a serious problem with it. sometimes I cant get it to boot, it will boot into the bootloader over and over and over. I've managed to get Lineage 15.1 on if for a bit until I tried to get back into the recovery which sent it manic.
I just got lucky I was able to get into TWRP and flash lineage.
my first issue not being able to flash the stock image via fastboot because I didn't unlock_critical which can sometimes fail when the usb connection is bad.
Currently flashing stock again if my phone will boot up. I'm not sure whats wrong with my bootloader but its causing a ton of havoc

Same boat for me - just keep rebooting to show Powered by Android Screen and then reboot again and again. Was able to see my device using fastboot devices command but all attempts to access recory just repeat the bootloop entry. I would happily check the OEM UNLOCK option in dev settings but can't even get it to book to any OS to make that option happen. Still shows bootloader locked on bootloader screen - any help someone can suggest?
I had this problem tonight also. In my case I suspect it had to do with the install of magisk in which I checked both boxes and patched the bootloader. on reboot I was stuck on boot. Just wanted to add my solution. I got the pie back to stock zip here https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/development/stock-7-1-1-nmj20d-t3701681 then I put it into the adb folder and ran the flashall.bat script. I tried the no wipe one and it saved my information. very happy I didnt have to resetup my phone in the end.

I am in the same boat. I tried to re-install the OS, but because my USB debugging was not enabled, Fastboot worked but ADB would not and since I basically wiped the recovery area, my phone will only boot into Fastboot but will not allow any loading of recovery. I would pay for someone to help. This is so hard to figure out. I have contacted Essential but since my phone is over 12 months old, the warranty has expired.
Help please. It seems like such a waste to have a bricked phone.

stuck in bootloop after Magisk Module disable

Can someone please help? I tried a Magisk Module, which was working, then disabled it in Magisk Manager and did a reboot. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop.
I tried sideloading this to remove the module: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-tool-magisk-manager-recovery-mode-t3693165
But it says: "(!) Magisk not installed or version not supported"
I'm on Magisk 17.3, TWRP by blu.spark and on stock ROM 9.0.5.
Please help!
Are you able to get into fastboot? If so, I think if you were to just fastboot flash the stock boot.img it would fix your issue by removing magisk. I think it would keep your data as well.
If that doesn't work just fastboot flash the stock 9.0.5 images.
Additionally, if you can boot into TWRP and have a nandroid on hand go ahead and just flash your backup in recovery.
Unfortunately flashing the boot.img does not work. Still bootlooping. I've already flashed the stock boot, recovery and system.
If that's the case I would just reflash the stock images.
Try to flash boot_a and boot_b with fastboot:
fastboot flash boot_a stockboot.img
fastboot flash boot_b stockboot.img
Being "stockboot.img" your stock boot image, then reboot and try if it works.

Boot a, boot in recovery

Thanks guys, but nothing helped. I think I'll do the full wipe now. Need a working phone tomorrow and time is running. I have a OnePlus Switch Backup, so not everything is lost.

If you're able to boot to recovery, maybe you should consider wipe all system settings, cache and data...
It's annoying to start over again, but doing that just after flashing both boot_a and boot_b partitions, should get rid of Magisk and all his settings.

the boot was a bit long but indeed it worked,
I need to learn a bit more about A and B partition, does that wipe clear A and B partition or only one ?

Hi All...I had a same issue.. after trying root, magisk, i installed the pixel3lsk module...but when i tried to uninstall and reboot, went to bootloop
then I kept trying the fastboot pressing both volume and power keys... then through fastboot did the above 2 commands into both partitions..
then still stuck... then wiped cache and reboot.. voila...now back to stock rom...
so all ended well... and decided against rooting for ever..hahah

Last but efficient solution: flash official stock rom from twrp without factory wipe, it will fix broken files and keep your data
Had this exact issue yesterday after uninstalling "Pix3lify". In order to fix it, I had to used adb and check for devices. Volume up and power would not turn off the device, but adb could reboot into twrp where a full data reset fixed the phone.
Okay. I am just in a bootloop now after disabling Pix3liify. So its a dead end, I'm going to wipe data
after over 20 hours' fighting , I swipe the factory reset button~now ,it's OK~~~

Stuck on "Fastboot Mode" screen

I stupidly tried using franco's app to flash cleanKernel on my rooted phone on 9.0.11, it failed of course and now can't boot my phone. I'm able to fastboot boot twrp.img but I'm not sure what is needed next. I've downloaded the full 9.0.11 ota file thinking something in it (or all of it) needs to be flashed from twrp. Afraid to do anything at this point for fear of losing data. Any tips are appreciated.
I've downloaded mauronofrio's rom-stock-fastboot utility but see he says it will clear data. I'm assuming all the .bat files will do this. Any way to avoid clearing internal storage?

From bootloader screen, using fastboot boot twrp.zip results in OP going to "Fastboot Mode" screen...and staying there. The zip is pushed to the phone but won't boot into TWRP. This started after I stupidly tried using franco's app to flash cleanKernel on my rooted phone. It failed of course and now can't boot my phone. My phone recently updated itself to 9.0.11, fyi.
Any ideas on how to fix this boot issue? Is it just a matter of flashing something from the full ota 9.0.11 file---some img file or something?

Wouldn't you want to be using a twrp.img not .zip?
fastboot boot twrp.img
Boot twrp from the img and then flash the zip once twrp boots?
I was able to recover...thank god. Just used mauronofrio's flash utility. Removed the "-w" flag from the flash-all.bat file and all is good.

Hi, I have just got a OnePlus 6T and I am getting this same error even though I am using the twrp.img - when I run fastboot boot 'twrp.img' it sticks on the Fastboot Mode screen.
I have the .zip on the phone's internal storage along with Magisk ready to install but I can't get there.
I did manage to get into Recovery once in the last 3 hours but under Advanced the only 2 options I have are to reboot to fastloader of reboot to recovery which just takes me round in circles!
Have tried everything I can find/think of right now and am no further down the line
Any help guidance will be greatly recieved as nothing I can find on the threads here seem to help
Thanks

When I think about it, it seems that the twrp.img I am flashing is not taking. When I go into recovery I get to choose 1 of 3 languages, I choose English and then I just get the 2 options as above - thing is, the font, layout etc. make it look like stock recovery and nothing like TWRP I have used before, no TWRP logo etc. Nothing

Ok.. can you get into TWRP? Is so reflash the stock rom.. the once it has flashed do not reboot, go back to install and flash the lastest twrp .zip do not reboot, go back to install and flash/install magisk, once it installs then reboot to system... It will take a bit... Once it reboots check your Magisk manager you may need to reinstall it, reboot to TWRP and reflash it.. reboot to system band you should be good to go...

Thanks and apologies if a two posts appear from me, I submitted one about 20 minutes ago and it isn't showing.
The issue is more than that, even when I try to flash the TWRP image it doesn't seem to take. The phone gets stuck on the 'Fastboot Mode' OnePlus flash screen and hangs there.
I have to hold the power and vol+ keys to get the device to restart and I then receive a message saying 'bootloader unlocked, data insecure etc.' and to press the power to stop the boot process. If I leave it the phone boots into OOS10.3.3.
If I press the power button I can get to recovery mode (albeit there is a password screen there which I have never seen on other devices I've had). I put my password in and choose English. I am then given the two options; reboot to fastboot or reboot to recovery. There is no advanced option to allow me to install TWRP or Magisk zips, as a matter of fact I don't get any TWRP at all, it looks like stock recovery.
Is the phone defaulting to stock recovery and not the TWRP image? That is what, in my very non-expert opinion seems to be happening. Is that possible and if so, any ideas how to fix?
I have completely flashed the phone so it is on stock OOS (10.3.3.) so can start afresh. It is a refurbed 'like new' so could that have anything to do with it?
Thanks for reading the long post - am wondering if there are some other tools I need use to change how it boots?

Ok.. are you using the latest TWRP? If you want in the guide section you can you the msmdow like ad tools to reset you phone to stock, and retry again..
THIS. I have the exact same issue. In short, I have the T-mobile version, and was able to unlock successfully. I am using twrp-3.2.3-0, and I have the img and zip in the same folder, same way Techibee does on Youtube. I then type "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-fajita.img", I get the "OKAY... OKAY... Booting... Finished" response in console. Then, the Fastboot screen appears and never leaves. I have done this 3 times now. I kept tweaking the process, but I'm nervous to keep debugging.

Hello guys,
I wanted to overclock my 6t global. so i had unlocked the bootloader then flashed the twrp. In twrp i firstly reset the os to factory setting and then i flash magisk and smurf kernel. but when i reboot after this my phone is stuck on the phone unlocked message.
ive tried flashing magisk only and then boot, it works. but when i flash smurf kernel i get stuck . why this happening plz help (

I think i really messed up

So here is what happened. I decided to take a crack at twrp and rooting my essential phone. its fully updated to aprils patch
unlocked my bootloader. HOWEVER i never used the command fastboot flashing unlock_critical. how ever it still said my boot loaders unlocked.
installed twrp no issue (other then touch but i figured that out) installed elementalx kernal. made a backup in twrp just in case.
booted into android fine no problems. found out my wifi does not work. ok now im just giving up. found out flashing the boot img will fix it. well i flashed it via twrp and when it asked where i said to the boot.
now my phone boot loops. i cant get into twrp. only a default recovery mode for android. i can get into the boot loader but im scared because ADB cant find my device anymore. trying to wipe deivce makes it reboot and boot loop again.
am i screwed? i dont care about the data but its 3am and i think i really messed up my phone

Hi
Have an unrooted international version of OnePlus6t. decided to upgrade from 9.0.17 to 10.0.1 and root. Decided to follow [Ultimate-Guide] ★ OnePlus 6T OOS-10 TWRP-Root-Magisk from OOS-9 guide, Method 3.
Installed 10.0.1 , phone booted OK,
restarted to bootloader
Stock Recovery >> "Wipe data and cache" > "Erase everything" > Reboot to Bootloader
fastboot flash boot .\twrp-3.3.1-28-fajita-Q-mauronofrio.img
Changed to Slot B
reboot to recovery
Stock Recovery >> "Wipe data and cache" > "Erase everything" > Reboot to Bootloader
fastboot flash boot .\twrp-3.3.1-28-fajita-Q-mauronofrio.img
Now phone is just showing "The bootloader is unlocked and software integrity cannot be guaranteed blah blah blah' screen. What can i do?
Please advise
Thanks in advance
P.S. Power+VolumeUp buttons combination just turns phone off. When I turn it on again, phone stucks on the same screen
UPD: OK I am able to get into fastboot mode. What can be done next?
UPD 2: Using mauronofrio's AllInOne tool I was able to boot twrp for Pie, change slot back to A and voila! I have TWRP and Andriod 10.0.1 back again. Hooray!
Now the only thing that bothers me is that seems that I have Q on SlotA and Pie on SlotB. Can it cause any unwanted effects?
How did you force getting into bootloader please? I'm in same boat!
Well the first thing is that you can't flash twrp as a boot partition. Twrp is a recovery, not a kernel. You are supposed to to fastboot boot twrp

Disconnect phone from computer, press VoulmeUp+Power keys together to turn off the phone, then press VolumeDown+Power keys to get into bootloader
You erased everything? I guess you have to flash your image again (10.0.1). Just don't use twrp if you don't need it. Go back to stock recovery, install 10.0.1. let it boot. Then after everything is done, flash the patched boot.img (install magisk manager first though).

I already did that and my phone is working now with OOS 10.0.1. I wonder should i get to TWRP somehow, change to SlotB and flash stock 10.0.1 again?

Why do you need TWRP?
Same issue caused by same process. Not able to get into bootloader screen using the method described. Ugh
Luckily I still have my last phone I can use until I figure this out. Yay Nexus 5X!

...I was able to get into bootloader (fastboot mode?) by holding Vol up & down as well as power button (all three depressed together) for about 15 seconds
entered -
fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-28-fajita-Q-mauronofrio.img
at least I have a recovery now...in slot A

Did you turned off your phone? You should hold VolUp+Power buttons until phone turns off - about 10-15 seconds. Then Press VolDown+Power to get into bootloader

You don't need TWRP for that. If you only want root with stock oxygenos, I'd recommend not to install twrp.
You don't need it, unless you want to install custom stuff (kernels, roms, patches etc) constantly.
If you just want stay on stock OOS. Just update through android and patch magisk after update with installing to inactive slot (before reboot).

And what for? A/B devices are not meant to have the same rom on both slots.
Just run your Android 10.0.1 now, don't bother at all about slots, and on next update it will install on inactive slot, you'll just have to install Magisk on inactive slot before rebooting as said just above.
It you don't plan to flash custom ROMs you don't need twrp.

As I stated, I followed the steps the OP had posted. The phone would turn off, but would not boot into bootloader mode, it just showed the initial screen. Believe me, I tried!
I've sent the phone back to OnePlus for repair/replacement, I was well under the warranty period.

Hi
Have an unrooted international version of OnePlus6t. decided to upgrade from 9.0.17 to 10.0.1 and root. Decided to follow [Ultimate-Guide] ★ OnePlus 6T OOS-10 TWRP-Root-Magisk from OOS-9 guide, Method 3.
Installed 10.0.1 , phone booted OK,
restarted to bootloader
Stock Recovery >> "Wipe data and cache" > "Erase everything" > Reboot to Bootloader
fastboot flash boot .\twrp-3.3.1-28-fajita-Q-mauronofrio.img
Changed to Slot B
reboot to recovery
Stock Recovery >> "Wipe data and cache" > "Erase everything" > Reboot to Bootloader
fastboot flash boot .\twrp-3.3.1-28-fajita-Q-mauronofrio.img
Now phone is just showing "The bootloader is unlocked and software integrity cannot be guaranteed blah blah blah' screen. What can i do?
Please advise
Thanks in advance

I am currently experiencing the same issue, how did you get it to go into fastboot mode? I've been traying for hours!
