So I installed TWRP recovery using tuliptool and all that, but didn't bother with bootloader unlocking since it said it's not needed. So I tried to install Magisk using the instructions on their thread but after booting it asks me to reset my phone because the data got corrupted.
Luckily I had backed everything up beforehand, so I restored boot image and everything works fine again. Just wanted to know what I did wrong here. Did I miss any steps?

You probably didn't miss anything if it's the "Your device is corrupt. It can’t be trusted and may not work properly” error, I get the same thing. You messed with the files in the boot partition so ZTE's "safety" features in the stock ROM automatically call them corrupted. I simply hit the power button and continue to boot, my device works fine (actually much better than before being rooted with Magisk). I'm the one who "corrupted" the phone on purpose, so I'm comfortable it's fine. If you're getting another message, I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe try ADB sideloading Magisk in TWRP, it's what "worked" for me.

What do you mean by "hitting the power button and continue to boot"? When I hit the power button on the "Decryption unsuccessful" screen it just locks and unlocks like normal, but stays there.
Ok I managed to install Magisk after factory reset, but after that my sdcard is not being recognized anymore (but is recognizable in TWRP). So I decided to restore the backup i had, and rebooted. But now I'm stuck on the ZTE logo during boot. I can still open TWRP, though. I've tried wiping system, data, and cache, then restoring the backup, also no good. For now I'm downloading the stock firmware and will try that. Any ideas on how I can fix this before I flash the stock firmware?
EDIT: Ok I managed to fix it by installing the no verity boot image instead. Boots again. I'll probably refrain from trying to root for now. Thanks for the help.

Well, I wasn't much help, but it sounds like your overall problem was different than mine. My only advice is if you attempt to root with Magisk again, is to connect to your PC/Mac/etc with a cable, use the Advanced menu in TWRP, choose ADB sideload, and sideload Magisk from your PC/Mac/etc. You can find a more advanced explanations on various websites how to use ADB if you don't already know how. For some reason that worked for me and gave me full Magisk and phone functionality when nothing else did.

I didn't have to, but I can't guarantee it will work for you. I had previously factory reset my phone but at the time I sideloaded Magisk I had been using the phone for at least a week. Just make a backup of everything first to be safe. *edit* I am using the beta version of Magisk (16.4), not sure if that's making a difference.
Hi,
I have a rooted OP5, running 5.1.7 and TWRP. I used Oxygen Updater to download the new android 9 ROM. I tried to install via TWRP, but got an error about zip compatability & a treble problem. I found a thread stating that I needed a newer TWRP to fix the treble problem, so I installed TWRP_3.2.3-Pie_siankatabg_OP5 , which said it had Pie support, from here:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903996029
That worked fine, but when I tried to flash the 9 ROM, I got still got the same error. Another post said to remove compatibility.zip from the ROM zip. I did that, and it now installed, but it wouldn't boot. Re-flashing 5.1.7 booted fine. I tried another TWRP - twrp-3.2.3-0-20181227-codeworkx-nocompatcheck-cheeseburger from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-oxygenos-5-0-t3725723
That installs, and boots to system, but won't boot to recovery, so I can't install the 9 ROM.
Any ideas where I go from here to upgrade to 9?
Thanks!

Hi, I got Pie to install with TWRP_3.2.3-Pie_siankatabg_OP5 on my device.
Go to this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78523940&postcount=13
And follow my post on the part where it says:
" Notes for the Pie update: "
Let us know if those steps work for you. The firmware is linked to on there, pre-modified. Try flashing that pre-modified zip and see if your device boots.

It sounds like you did not follow the detailed flashing instructions in the first post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003
Is your device storage encrypted or decrypted? Have you flashed magisk? Have you used an older magisk(your end link leads to my post where I mention that)? Have you downloaded the rom file without compatibility.zip or did you removed it on your own?

Thanks for the links both, but still no go. I was on Magisck 17.1, uninstalled Magisk with the latest uninstaller, flashed the ROM with compatability.zip already removed. Same result as before - I get the oneplus logo, then it just reboots instead of starting the system. I've only wiped cache & dalvik, I don't really want to wipe more than that if I can help it - it is worth trying a system/vendor/data wipe? I recovered by flashing back to 5.1.7 (also updated to Magisk 18 while I was at it).
Any more ideas? One thing I find a little weird is that I'm on the @siankatabg TWRP, when I tried either the bluespark & codeworx TWPR, I couldn't get into recovery with either, I just got a blank screen with a LED staying on light blue. Only the siankatabg recovery works. Surely any of them should work? Does this point to a problem?
I'm not sure what you mean by encrypted or not - I get messages about unencrypting when going into recovery, which I assume means I am encrypted?
THanks!

Maybe try backing your device up, and then locking the bootloader. Try updating with stock recovery on a locked bootloader. If that works, you can then unlock the bootloader and copy your data back

Please use an older recovery like twrp-3.2.3-0-20181031-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img the actual pie recoveries require pie firmware(mentioned in last post of blue spark thread for example).

OK, I understand now - if I use an older TWRP, or the siankatabg version, it works fine. I can then flash the Pie ROM, however it still won't boot - I get the oneplus logo, then it just reboots. However having done the Pie flash, I can then flash the more recent TWRPs (codeworx or Bluespark), and can now get into recovery fine. However Pie still won't boot - I've even tried re-flashing the Pie ROM from within the newer TWRPs, but the result is the same - it gets to the oneplus logo, then reboots. At this stage I guess wiping system/vendor/data is the only way forwards?
*Edit* - OK, so wiping everything fixed the issue, I'm now on Pie. Flashing Magisk didn't work when flashing the ROM, but I'll try again once it's finished downloading all my apps etc.
Hi, I'm new to rooting. A week ago or so I installed Pixel Experience Rom to my device but didn't liked it to much and my phone was constantly freezing for a second or so. I decided to go back to Oxygen OS with android 9 but keep the TWRP as my recovery and root my phone with Magisk.
Anyways today I got this notification saying that after phone downloads and install the software update my phone will reboot and unroot itself and I should back up my data. /a/DWgVyTK (imgur link)
After using my phone with root I liked it better this way. Anyways because I'm beginner level on this topic I don't know what should I do. I don't want to set up my phone again from the start after the update and I like root but I want my software to be latest as well. Is there any other way to install the update without deleting everything on phone?
Also if I download the latest software update can I flash it with TWRP without deleting anything on phone? Or back up my things with TWRP and install the software and use that back up to get everything back together again? Little bit help would be appreciated.

Thank you very much for answering. I tried dirty rom installing but twrp is not seeing my device's internal memory. I'm guessing that it's because oxygen os encrypts my phone when i enter the system after installation. It happened earlier as well when I tried to install oxygen os and root my phone and the time i tried to install pixel experience rom. I decided not to do clean installation as of now because I don't want to loose my data. (i certainly can get back everything on my phone but it usually takes few hours for that). Is there any other way to unencrypting the phone without wiping everything off?
My current oxygen os version is 9.0.2
I was trying to install 9.0.3.

I've only tried using TWRP as my recovery, Pixel experience rom and oxygen os rom. The thing is because upon entering the phone after flashing a rom you can't access the internal storage of the phone with TWRP because phone encrypts itself. That means I can't dirty flash it and need to wipe everything out with TWRP then reboot TWRP again and install new rom after that flash magisk and reboot to system and set everything up from the scratch.
When I started this thread I didn't knew how to dirty flash a rom. Now I know and realize the problem I'm having is phone's encryption.
UPDATE:
I have used this guide to disable encryption on my phone. (I tried putting the link to the guide but for some reason i can't. It was on Custom Droid about how to remove one plus 5's encryption) I wiped everything on my phone with TWRP, installed the new OTA with Oxygen OS 9.0.3, flashed the file they provided on the guide, started system, went through steps and checked my encryption status and it was still encrypted.
Entered recovery again and wiped everything once more. Installed Magisk entered my system. (I was wiping everything down because otherwise TWRP wasn't able to see my device's storage), went through all the steps again. Installed Magisk's apk. Checked my root status. Everything was okay but still my phone was encrypted. Downloaded latest version of the Magisk. Wiped everything down once more installed Magisk. Rebooted into my system to see my phone's encryption was still there. At this point I gave up and started restoring my apps, data and everything with it.
Now I can't update my software whenever I want because TWRP won't see my device's storage because of encryption. Basically dirty flashing isn't available for me.
Have you guys tried and find a solution for this? If so please let me know. I would highly appreciate it.

To prevent the OxygenOS to encrypt your phones storage you need to flash no verity patch before first boot(instructions). But coming from a custom rom requires to format internal storage, otherwise it won't work.

I've already tried the clean flash instructions. However I flashed the patch before magisk last time I tried it but it didn't work. Maybe because my order was wrong. Since I don't have much time right now. I'm going to try that once again tomorrow this time exactly like on the guide. I will let you know about the results.

I flashed codeworkx twrp like you said on that thread. Now I can decrypt the phone. TWRP asks me for screen password and when I entered it, it showed me the internal memory. Now I can see my device's internal memory from recovery without wiping out everything.

Had my new OP5 rooted and almost everything was right in the world, but i flew too close to the sun by uninstalling a few apps I thought were expendable and eventually Google Play Services started crashing. When all troubleshooting failed I ended up flashing a fresh copy of OxygenOS (5.1.7) to my device, but every attempt to re-root the device has failed.
The first obstacle I ran into was that there was no access to Internal Storage in TWRP, I was able to fix that by Wipe > Format Data and then using Advanced Wipe to clean Dalvik/Cache/System/Data for good measure.
My next issue was that TWRP returned Error 7 when attempting to flash the stock OOS rom... after some digging I was able to clean the 'asserts' line from the updater-script file and now the rom will flash.
The headache has been getting the device re-rooted, and I feel like I've tried everything. I have to flash the SuperSU or Magisk zip (both fail to root the device) before reboot because the dm-verity encrypts on first boot and after that I can't access any storage to flash from internal memory. The three different dm-verity patches I've found don't prevent it. I also tried 'fastboot oem disable_dm_verity' to try and stop it but after talking with the device fastboot returns 'unknown command'.
My final effort to get around it was to flash a kernel that didn't force dm-verity (blu_spark kernel) but that returns Error 1: 'Unsupported Android Version' when I attempt to flash it.
I've tried dozens of variations on this, including a Lineage OS rom instead and also trying to sideload certain zips, but still no dice. Any and all help would be appreciated.

Hi, this one is because of your TWRP. Please flash Codework's TWRP and try that with it. It should solve your issue for sure. (same thing happened to me while I tried installing custom roms and every time I needed to wipe everything to see my internal storage again)
This guide can help you out with Error 7 on TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522762
I do believe your this issue you're having caused by TWRP. Also after rooting the phone, install magisk app. (you don't need to install supersu, it comes with magisk). After rebooting into system reboot your phone again once more it should show up on magisk app that you've successfully rooted your phone. Remember after flashing magisk you need to reboot twice in order for phone to realize it. Please try the steps I told you and let me know.
Also you don't need to flash dm-verity patch at all.
Try clean flash instructions with Codework's TWRP and root it with latest Magisk.

I actually really like the Oreo version of OxygenOS, so when I had to resort to re-flashing to fix this mess I dug up one of the stock (5.1.7) roms, it served me well (assuming I can get it rooted, lol).
I'd be willing to move to Lineage if I absolutely have to, but if not, I'd really like to keep Oreo if at all possible.

For 5.1.7 try this twrp https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UlTftbe6wooAs4Fp0cjwXlOKmfQHgdfL/view?usp=drivesdk along with magisk 17.1.
Clean flash is recommended. If it didn't help, please list your steps again(detailed).
Don't use supersu and skip the other suggestions for now please.

Hello everybody.
Twice I tried to install LineageOS 18 on my 6T, equipped with latest OxygenOS/Android 11 version, without any success despite having followed several tutorials on Youtube and on websites.
Two days ago I unlocked the bootloader, I restarted the phone from the PC in Fastboot mode and I tried to install the TWRP recovery, always getting an error and when it seemed that I had succeeded the phone restarted showing the message "Qualcomm Crashdump" and the phone was dead.
Fortunately, a Wipe Data from the Recovery allowed me to get the 6T working again.
Last night I tried again by installing the LineageOS recovery first, I restarted the phone and I realized that it was in bootloop.
At this point I could only restart it in Recovery or Fastboot mode, without being able to start the 6T correctly; not even a wipe data helped me.
At that point I used the MSM download Tool, with which I was able to reinstall OxygenOS v9.xx and restart the 6T, then updating it to OxygenOS 11.
The drawback now is that when I turn on the phone it takes over a minute to boot (the two dots around the OnePlus symbol make a good 37 laps, after which the phone starts up and works perfectly).
How can I fix this slow boot problem?
And why has it become so difficult to install a custom ROM on the 6T? It occurs to me that OnePlus has deliberately complicated things to hinder modding.

Did you get twrp installed? Wipe data by typing yes after flashing?

You can follow this. If you want to install lineage os and want Google service make sure follow the "non gapp version" under installation method.
Havoc Flashing Notes for OnePlus 6 /6T from OOS 11 [Using TWRP Recovery]
1. Clean Flash : 2. Dirty Flash 3. Update oos base 1. Clean Flash : 🔊 Make sure you've backed up whatever data you want to keep to somewhere that's not on your phone; we're going to format the data partition and you're going to lose everything from internal storage. Basic requirements ○...

Thanks for replies.
I must add this point: my 6T has OxygenOS v11.1.1.1; maybe this the reason of the problem? Maybe OnePlus did something that screws any modding attempt?
I simply followed the instructions found on YouTube, in the LineageOS' Fajita page and installed TWRP, but my 6T went in "Qualcomm Crashdump" and TWRP was not working → phone bricked.
Then I've tried installing, in the same way via ADB and Fastoot commands the Lineage Recovery, that has worked but when I tried to boot system, keeping OxygenOS, the phone went in bootloop.
So where is the error/fault?
Please, help me with a step-by-step tutorial that lead me to successfully install TWRP and LineageOS on my 6T.

OnePlus definitely didn't do anything to make it harder. You need to fastboot boot twrp.img then flash the twrp installer zip. I'll attach both In next post. Reboot to recovery. Then install OOS, twrp installer, reboot to recovery. Install oos again, twrp installer again, reboot to recovery. Now install lineage, twrp installer, reboot to recovery. Install lineage again, twrp installer again, reboot to recovery. Factory reset and wipe data by typing yes. Boot to system
The img is for fastboot boot
The zip is for installing in twrp
Thanks for your reply.
I'm still wondering how to speed up the boot.

If everything is installed correctly it won't take long to boot

There is clearly something wrong, as my 6T's boot is slow.
Furthermore, the Recovery of the previous message is the one I downloaded three days ago and that made me go to the 6T in Qualcomm Crashdump.
I repeat my request: where can I find a safe and updated guide that explains how to install LineageOS without risk?
If you can't fastboot boot into that twrp on a11 without crash dumping there is something really wrong

You sure you didn't try 3.6.0_9?
Clearing your cache might help with current boot. But once you install a new os everything will run smooth like it should
Thank you for the advice.
1) I've downloaded "twrp-3.6.0_9-0-fajita.img" and tried to install it several times, getting errors and then bricking my phone.
2) I have already cleared the cache several times from Recovery, without anything having changed; the two white dots on the boot screen continue to rotate 37 times around the red dot before the phone starts up and then works perfectly.
It occurred to me that the MSM Download Tool program uses a decrypted image of the original firmware; could this possibly be the cause of the long boot?

That twrp version always will crash dump on a11. Use the one I sent
I followed these steps:
after having managed to make MSM Download Tool detect the phone in EDL mode, I proceeded by reinstalling OOS v9.0.13, after which I reconfigured the phone and restored the apps backup stored in my Google account.
Later, I don't remember the details well, I received the update notification for OOS v10 and later for OOs v11.1.2.2.
I don't remember exactly where the boot started to stretch, however this is more or less the process I followed to bring my 6T back to life.

Are you sure that this TWRP will work without problems?
I've tried also with Lineage Recovery for Fajita, resulting with the 6T in bootloop :-(

I promise it works. I do t know what happened with your previous updating and msm tool but something sounds messed up. Just get twrp running and ease all your problems. Clean flashing and getting everything fresh

Keep your finger crossed...
Another question: assuming I can install TWRP and make it working, LineageOS image must be copied in the 6T's internal SD and proceeding to install from TWRP?

Or you could use USB OTG. Or a PC and use adb sideload
