Dirty flashing to Open Beta 18 from OOS 5.1.2

I currently run OOS 5.1.2 (xXx No limits), with magisk 17.1 and blu_spark 3.1.2 (non treble) twrp. I want to update to Open Beta 18, so today i tried by updating the twrp to twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.85_treble-op5_op5t (successfully). I then removed magisk by the uninstaller and tried to boot into system (still haven't flashed the beta), and it wouldn't load. I then returned to the updated recovery to flash the full zip of the beta but had a zip verification error. I disabled zip verification then got error 7 in the twrp. For now i have reverted to a NAND recovery i had made before updating the twrp, but i would still like to update to Open Beta 18. What did i miss, and how can i make it work? please keep in mind that i would prefer a dirty flash over a clean flash if possible.
Thanks

It's been discussed 100 times on the xXx thread that it's not recommended to switch between stable and beta the dirty way cause you're facing issues. Like you.
It's also not recommended by oneplus in the official threads cause of issues.
A clean installation(look at the beta thread) saves you hours on troubleshooting/headaches in the future.
And latest stable build has advanced reboot menu instead of beta

From OxygenOS 4.5.13 to OxygenOS 5.1/LineageOS 15.1

Hi,
I have Oneplus 5 with TWRP 3.1.1 running 4.5.13. I want update it.
Should I first update TWRP to latest version?
Can I wipe everything and straightly flash to latest OxygenOS and then to LineageOS?
When should I flash/instal Gapps and Magisk? Right after flashing LineageOS or I need to first need to restart it?
Thanks for help.

At first it's necessary to update to 5.1.4 oxygenOS and then 5.1.5. Directly to 5.1.5, isn't working for most people. You can install latest blu spark twrp recovery before or after the os update.
After this you're ready to to install lineageos, gapps, magisk in this order.
It may be useful to format internal storage, since it can be blocking the boot.
Good luck :good:

Thanks very much

D802 any root methods are not working!

hi ppl
it was rooted before. used twrp and some custom roms. but later it unrooted somehow.
I tried flashing super su, magisk and ioroot. supersu and magisk turn with an error msg
io root made it stuck on bootloader animation so I flashed a backup.
how to root it?
thx in advance

1) flash latest twrp http://www.gregtwallace.com/lgg2-projects/twrp/ - then reboot into twrp
2) made absolutely all wipes incl internal and data (delete all stuff) - then reboot into twrp
3) connect to usb - and simply copy rom, gapps, and root solution what you want to flash
latest stable magisk for twrp - https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
latest supersu for twrp - Recovery Flashable.zip http://www.supersu.com/download
3) flash the rom what you wanted and flash gapps
3) flash magisk or supersu
(if android 7.1.2 or higher of course - I recommend magisk, because of working nfc pay features, a lot of great systemless addons etc...)
if you prefer old lollipop rom (for example CloudyG2_3.3 ) - it supersu only.
This is the correct sequence - which will eliminate problems with the firmware. If you deleted and installed the root earlier (as you say)

jeezes)) you already killed the rom.... and then restore the all this restores backup, this is a "dirty flash" with a bunch of "remnants". I recommend to do clean flash it in the specified sequence and everything will be ok.
You will spend a couple of 1-2 hours only on installing (and setting) completely all applications. It is not so difficult. But it will save you from a bunch of nonsense questions...
If you actually don't have TWRP recovery installed or old Kit kat Rom - this is absolutely another question and the instructions will not work for you. Also, Kit Kat and Lollipop based ROMs does not support Magisk - because of this error.

thx bro. I did all the steps but it seems same problem going on. sure I want the latest of everything. better updated all. so, using the latest twrp, I wipe all data then format all data then again wipe everything
this aosp rom and gapps worked perfectly. then flashed teh magisk but again its unrooted.
it installs magisk perfectly but root checker says its not rooted. anyway thx for help
btw, aosp rom android 9 has a bluetooth bug. giving a bluetooth stopped message every 10 seconds.

so any advice anout that problem?

you must grant root permission when popup (magisk) appears.
its not automatically
popup similar as in supersu
root works excellent on d802 with Magisk
for example Es File Explorer or any Root Checker

I used supersu and it turned out to be "certification verify" problem. OS not running because of this problem but says rooted. so I can still reach twrp but it really become annoying. this is my old phone and will use as 2nd in my Thailand trip soon.
what to do now? can I use unrooted with a sim card? with no problem?

Please, don't use this nonsense "overquoting" when you answer to someone. Have some respect to the forum rules, and users.
if you want stable rom for LGG2-D802 flash
1) aosp extended based on 7.1.2 or 8.1 versions of Android.
2) flash gapps nano
3) flash magisk zip
4) after rom starts - do the first quick settings - then open Magisk (and if needed update the Magisk manager)
Do not flash both (supersu and magisk) risk to brick the phone.
"device not certified" messege will be always if you use Supersu. It's obviously. Using supersu you unable to use apps like Google pay or any banking apps, because of system root.
Magisk is systemless solution, that's why Google do not recognize Magisk's root. And Play Store on about screen always show "Your device is certified". Also you can Hide root from some apps using Hide option in Magisk manager (it's very useful for local banking apps).
I have a suspicion that you used an older version of Android KitKat (official). And now you try to flash a new Rom (above the Android 7.1.2+). You can't do this. Because you must have Lollipop bootloader. You must be an Android Lillipop first. And then (get Root, then TWRP). And after all that - you will be able to flash some of Rom we are talking about.

Oh Finally!
dowloaded aosp 8.1 and all done. I was trying to use android 9 to be updated. But, pie becoming to be a "creampie" to me so I listened your word. and did it
just opened recovery mode and deleted all the zips. and copied new ones and flashed in order
1) aosp extended 8.1
2) open gapps nano for 8
3) magisk beta (yes this time I tried beta ver and it worked!)
after settings etc. checked with root checker and it was ok. so magisk.apk is not necessary now
thx again bro

Did you managed to work it out? I'm planing to update oos 9.0.1 to 10 too with root.

I have no problem with this, OP5 upgraded on A10 with twrp and magisk

How to install Magisk v23 on GT-i9505?

Hi, I'm on LineageOS 14.1 Optimized by JDCTeam.
However I'm not able to install the latest Magisk.
Is it just not possible anymore because you need fastboot to install a patched boot.img?
I tried flashing through the regular way as a .zip file (just renaming the magisk apk into .zip) in TWRP 3.2.x.x. Also tried flashing the patched boot.img file from the rom through TWRP.
But whenever I flash it and reboot, everything force closes.
Any help on that?

Latest TWRP, latest LineageOS version (18.1), latest Magisk here. I have no issues with flashing Magisk in TWRP. In fact, I have lately had to dirty flash LineageOS then Magisk in TWRP, as a standard update in LineageOS via its updater causes a bootloop.
Fortunately this isn't my main device so....
In your case, I would update to the latest LineageOS as the version you have is really old. Updating may help.

Thanks for the reply, but I want to stay on Android 7 Nougat, so maybe it's in fact not possible anymore. But maybe somebody else has an idea.
