As you installed twrp I assume your bootlader is unlocked. Is your data partition still encrypted?
If so reformat it before flashing any custom ROM.

You shouldn't wipe system, as it will remove the installed ROM for you.
A data wipe is all you needed from twrp.

You should be on LP 5.1.1 and then use TWRP Recovery 3.0.2.0 by Nick Verse. Then wipe Cache , Dalvik Cache , system and data and then flash this Rom as well as the Gapps which you like. Done:good:

ONEPLUS 5 updating issues , stuck in OOS 5.0 after updating it from OOS 4.1.5

Hello Guys Recently i decided to update my OP5 which was on rooted nougat for a year and some how after countless wipes, bootloops, rom flashes and data mounting errors in twrp, was able to flash OOS 5.0 instead of the OOS 5.1.4 , coz flashing 5.1.4 directly from OOS 4.1.5 ,resulted in "error 7" everytime
Device status is unlocked boot loader, decrypted and rooted with magisk. But after this when i check with TWRP(3.2.3) ,i found that its unable to mount data partion again and cannot flash upadte on it or do anything else in twrp, tried to mount the data partion but that resulted in loosing OS again and had to repeat the whole process to Install OOS 5.0 .
Any Idea how i can update my phone further to 5.1.4 or beyond that?

Yeah, i checked the thread, but mine is a bit different, coz mine is rooted and has TWRP recovery, and it took me many bootloops and flashs to figure out ,that i have to flash every single version of OOS, for example 4.1 to 5.0 and then, 5.0 to 5.0.4 and then 5.0.4 to 5.1 and on.
You get the point. But now i cant update after 5.0 , as TWRP throws this "unable to mount storage" error and my internal storage doesnt even show up in install section

What twrp(link) do you have?
Did you format internal storage or not?
Don't bother with root until you have undated your os. Updating with twrp is also possible and I did it a lot of times.

Please use the latest blu spark recovery which needs to be installed for the vendor partition from 5.1.4 https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=30332 or codeworks recovery. If you decrypt internal storage and did not flash no verity zip to stay decrypted, after first boot oos will encrypt interval storage.

If you want to stay decrypted: yes
But first update your twrp, check if data partition is accessible, otherwise format internal storage - easiest way.

Flash full rom Update 5.1.4, then 5.1.5 then
Just make sure that vendor partition is mounted correctly within twrp, before flashing no verity v2 and after then magisk.
Now you can reboot the first time. If it won't help, you should format internal storage again when you have copied files into it like the rom zip. This can cause a bootloop sometimes.

Again , thank you soo much man .
Turns out enabling that vendor portion after flash rom for no verity and magisk will cause no trouble
and now i m on OOS 5.1.5!!(uninstalling Magisk before flashing new update was important to).
Now that
how do i mark this thread as Solved.

When I wipe up in TWRP on this phone my data becomes encrypted

Hey XDA. I have a question, I just got this phone and I was wondering how to flash properly? On my old phone I would just wipe everything in twrp and flash a new ROM, but when I wipe in twrp on this phone all my files get encrypted including the ROM that I'm trying to flash on this OP6T, any help would be appreciated

Can't help you with the root but searching does help. Search a guy on YouTube name techibee he had a good video. But one plus has a backup so if you mess up one boot partition you have the other to correct easier. Basically a backup so your phone boots and not bricks

Thanks )
You can wipe everything in twrp and then flash this
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Uh4CR2-MXBYsSQL6BTnv4xpkCjEh7ZFn/view?usp=drivesdk
Then you can lock it.
Just make a twrp backup and save it to your sdcard or computer , just in case.

Problem flashin custom ROM, TWRP doesn't stay and other PLEASE HELP

Hi guys, this is my problem. Got MI9T with Android 10 (miui 11) 128GB, and I wanna install Pixel Experience. So, those are my steps until the problem :
1) Bootloader unlocked
2) After this, with TOOL ALL IN ONE.exe, I installed TWRP and everything ok.
3) Wiped EVERYTHING (data, cache, dalvik etc.)
4) here problem) When I wipe data also PE.ZIP is deleted from smartphone, so I plugin smartphone to pc to transfer it again. But when I go to C:/MI9T, I couldn't transfer ANY FILE because memory available was ZERO. 0/128GB, and I don't know why. So I was stuck on TWRP and I had to reinstall stock rom with MiFlash.exe.
(QUESTION: do I have to flash also vbmeta to keep twrp?)
I did the same process on RedmiNote5 but was easier because I had microsd with everything on.
Please if someone could help .. thank you so much
