Should be working with fastboot, since the TWRP doesn't have treble necessary add one to flash treble ROMs.

You sure? Have you tried? One of the dev here in forum tried to compile a rom but failed. As the dev observed, the problem is rn7 system partition is in system_root/system and not in /system. This might cause major issue
UPDATE: I tried installing GSI images Pixel Experience and PHH's GSI through fastboot. No go. Now I am wondering , what's the point of treble in this device?

Yea, why would you say that? You just need to factory reset and then flash a system image to the system partition.
Is the system partition not listed when you switch over to the image installer section?

Can you share your procedure, twrp if not flashed in fastboot rom version, device storage and ram? I have tried few gsi images but not successful.
Can you also share bugs you encountered?

Any updates?

I updated to Oreo and now storage won't mount in twrp

I can't do anything in twrp and am trying to root it but can't find magisk or any other files because twrp won't show me them.
I tried going to wipe > repair or change file system and clicking on it says invalid partition selection. Can't backup either because storage won't mount.
Also if I try to reboot to system out of twrp, twrp just crashes before my phone restarts(It still reboots into the OS though). I never even get a chance to click the reboot button.
Lastly if I want to get back into twrp it seems I have to flash the twrp via the bootloader every time.
And I CAN transfer files while OOS is running, I just can't get them in TWRP.
I've read that formatting might work, but will formatting remove the OS? I wouldn't want to chance anything since it seems impossible to flash anything right now.

Do you have to flash twrp for this to work, or can you just fastboot into the twrp image?

Oneplus 5 hardstuck bootloop. Please help me out, I've tried everything!

Firstly, my phone isn't hard-bricked. I'm able to load different versions of the TWRP recovery and access Fastboot without any problems. I'm also pretty comfortable using adb to push, sideload, access fastboot, recovery , etc. so please feel free to throw out any suggestions that might help me resolve my issue. (Note:I'm unable to find the stock recovery on OnePlus's support page anymore, I recall they always had the option to download the stock recovery just below the download option for the stock ROM, so I haven't been able to try sideloading after formatting with the stock recovery.)
My OnePlus 5 was running stock Oreo and I'd been meaning to upgrade to Lineage 16.0 (Pie) or any other Pie ROM really. I booted into TWRP (3.2.3-0 - Oreo firmware) and wiped everything other than USB storage and formatted data too as my previous Oreo installation was encrypted. Then, I downloaded codeworkxx's 9.0.3 firmware for OnePlus 5 and pushed it to my phone using adb. I flashed the firmware successfully, rebooted into Bootloader/fastboot; and flashed the Android Pie version of TWRP recovery ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/cheeseburgerdumplings/files/16.0/cheeseburger/ ) and was able to successfully boot back into the recovery. Since then, I've tried to flash multiple different Pie ROMs (Pixel Experience, Lineage 16.0, stock OOS official build - 9.0.3 , Beta OOS build OpenBeta26) (clean flashing always) but always ended up with a bootloop with the boot animations in all the ROMs. I've even tried flashing them with Magisk-v18.0 but that doesn't help either. I've waited for 15 min with each boot for the different ROM's (ending up in bootloops) and on rebooting back to TWRP, I've always found that irrespective of ROMs, the only folder that's created in Internal Storage is 'obb' and it is an empty folder. I've even tried sideloading OOS 9.0.3 (official build) via TWRP and that still ends up in a bootloop with the obb folder in Internal Storage being the only thing created. Also, flashing the boot.img recovery in the stock ROM zip files leads to a blank screen with a white LED that tries to install Qualcom drivers, so I just reflashed TWRP and am back to where I started.
That pretty much sums up my problem here. Kindly throw suggestions at me to help fix my problem' I've searched the forums but most of the bootloop issues I've found and read are about unsuccessful firmware flashes (not the case with me as I've explained above) or dirty flashes (again, not the case with me as I always cleanflash).
Thanks!
You should be focusing on getting stock OOS back on before trying custom rom. Have you tried rolling back to 5.1.7 Oreo? Sometime it better to go back to square 1 and try again.

I successfully flashed the 5.1.7 firmware and Oreo-TWRP-recovery and was able to install Lineage OS 15.1 and boot it up properly. I'm unable to find a link for previous versions of OOS to test whether or not 5.1.7 would work. Do you know where I can find a link?
Thanks again!

So the Lineage 15.1 flash worked fine but OOS 5.1.7 still leaves me with a bootloop and the obb folder as detailed in my first post. I'm unsure as to how to proceed.

Can you please try to flash 5.1.4 stock oxygenOS rom and the 5.1.7 after it, then magisk and reboot to the os?
Make sure you have an old Oreo compatible recovery like this https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DrEMydZfQxC_eWx1W-OlASo8H7okXNTQ/view?usp=drivesdk

Lineage 15.1 (official) boots successfully but without radios working... I tried reflashing Firmware-5.1.7 but that does not help; not sure how to fix this. Could it be a firmware issue with installing Pie ROMs? But then again, OOS Oreo doesn't boot either - still ends up in a bootloop
My only suggestion ...

Greetings! I got your private message, but I haven't read it yet. Sorry, very busy today. However, I can make the following suggestion to get your device back into original working order.
Have a look at this link on xda. It's for an unbrick tool, which I've used numerous times with great success.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/unbrick-tool-oneplus-5-t3648169
This tool will put your device back into its original condition, with original OOS.
Let me know if it works for you.

Definitely! I've always been clean flashing ROMs (Wiping Internal Storage, Data, System, Dalvik Cache, Cache + Wiping/Formatting Data to factory reset ) for each trial!

Wiping system, data, cache, Installing 5.1.4, then magisk, then format internal storage, then boot os should not cause a bootloop
What's your twrp recovery? Did you tried mine?

The tool doesn't detect my device whatsoever - I have system-wide adb & fastboot set up (to use from any folder or path) yet the device is not detected in fastboot mode or recovery mode.
How do you use it?
Thanks!

You need to put your device into MSM Download mode. It's simple. Power off your device. Press and hold the Volume UP key for about 8-10 seconds and, while continuing to hold the Volume UP key, plug in your device to your computer via USB. Open the MSM Tool and press Start.
That's it.
It takes about 3-5 minutes for the tool to complete the unbrick process.
Peter
Thank you! I was able to successfully use the unbrick tool to reset to OOS 4.5.8 Nougat. I'm going to try stepping all the way up to Pie now!

Encrypted slot

I am sick of this encryption thingy everytime I want to flash a rom on 6t, sometimes it works sometimes it's triggered even if I follow twrp tutorial.
Lately I flashed omnirom, but it encrypted slot B, I rebooted to slot A in recovery and Oos booted.
So it looks like slot B is still encrypted while A is running great and rooted with magisk.
Should I decrypt slot B or it's useless as long as I won't flash a new rom?
So did you managed to flash omnirom or not?

Nop
Tried a second time but it will trigger encryption again following twrp first post tutorial. It's weird because it worked in the past with other aosp roms. Perhaps Omnirom dev forgot to add A6010 as compatible 6t?

Ok I will try.
And what is the way back? Last time I went back to oos from aosp it encrypted both slots, I had to use unbriking tool that wipes the whole phone

If both slots are encrypted you can maybe put the oos rom and a magisk zip on a otg storage to flash it via twrp
Let me know if it works also. I had same problem, the only way I was able to recover was to fastboot flash ops to phone.

[appeal][p]z3 dual D6633 patch for running z3 roms

hi guys
i need a patch for z3 dual that would be able to run z3 single-sim roms on z3 dual in android 9 pie
can any develpoer make it for me?please
thanks
please
somebody help meeeeeee
I found some patch on old oreo Z3 thread.
Also, I read the LOS 15 thread today. You need a specific TWRP for D6633. But I can't find this file.
This patch only tested on oreo ROMs so I don't know if it will work on pie.
Anyway, there you go.
You'll need a clean flash. The steps are:
- Flash TWRP 3.3.1 (if you want to install LOS 16.0, flash the boot.img from the .zip)
- reboot to TWRP, wipe everything (system, cache, dalvik, data, internal storage. BUT if you store the ROM and gapps file on internal storage, DO NOT wipe internal storage)
- flash ROM, Gapps, reboot to TWRP
- flash this dualsim patch, reboot to system
Good luck.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that.
The TWRP 3.3.1 from the link is only work on LOS 16.0. If you flash another ROM with TWRP 3.3.1, the TWRP will break.
In other word, you must flash the correct TWRP for the ROM. Also, in the past, there is a specific TWRP for Z3 dual but the link is dead.

OnePlus 6t Wifi Issue on custom roms

Okay so I've tried Pixel experience, lineage os , omni rom treskmod and couple of other custom android 10 roms, all stable and official and also updated ones, the wifi just simply doesn't work, wifi hotspot won't turn on either. I've tried every solution on the internet. I've even factory reset my phone using msm download tool and no luck(did this countless times).
I'm back in OOS 10.3.2 and there's no issue apparently.
At one point , i flashed a custom rom and the wifi didn't work, so I flashed OOS in the two slots and checked , the wifi works in OOS apparently, and never in custom roms.
Has anyone got this issue before and knows a solution?

That's a lot of unnecessary steps. OOS on both slots, reboot to bootloader, boot twrp, format data and flash the custom rom, reboot bootloader, boot twrp and flash gapps, don't install twrp permanently if you are not going to install Magisk.

Alright so got one doubt, I used OOS 10.3.2 to flash, should it be oos 10.0 only?
Thought that didn't make a difference.
I am also facing the same issue. Were you able to find any solution ?
So I found out treskmod omni rom and Paranoid android quartz 2 work perfectly , try those out, it still doesn't solve the problem in the other roms though. So not exactly a solution.
