No OS installed. TWRP cannot flash new custom ROM

Hello,
I have a big problem. I don't know what to do.
I wanted to make a clean install of OxygenOS 4.5.8 and so i downloaded it, did it on SD card together with Magisk and no_verity_op5.zip (because i read that this decrypt the data).
So i cleand data and installed no_verity_op5.zip via TWRP, but when i wanted to reboot it takes way to long (i waited 30minutes but it stays on boot circle)
After that i booted into TWRP and decided to made a factory reset and to install OxygonOS 4.5.8 in a clean version. But it was not possible anymore!
When i want to install the .zip it says Patching system image unconditionally... and it loads. after the blue is full it says:
writing static_nvbk image...
patching firmware images...
script succeeded: result was [1.000000]
And when i want to boot into system it says no OS installed.
I tried also to flash this rom or even any other custom rom through ADB Sideload but it does not work. Same like above..
What can i do? I do not know what to do
I hope my phone is not bricked.
Thank you for any suggestion.

Go to oneplus 5 official download page, download stock recovery and latest stock firmware and follow instructions on the download page.... But first with TWRP take a backup of all your data because restoring stock firmware will ERASE everything... Don't panic it will works

First off, don't panic! you're not bricked as long as you can reach your bootloader and recovery.
This happened to me as well and luckily the fix is easy!
You probably tried to flash the OxygenOS build from the Oneplus downloads right?
Somehow these won't flash properly through TWRP and you must therefore also flash the Oxygen recovery image listed in the downloads.
Here are some steps that'll fix your problem.
1 - Backup all of your private data from internal storage because flashing OxygenOS will WIPE/ENCRYPT all data on your device.
2 - Go to the Oneplus download center and download both the latest OxygenOS and it's appropriate recovery:
http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-5/oneplus_5_oxygenos_4.5.8
3 - Boot into your bootloader and flash the stock recovery you just downloaded. (fastboot flash recovery <recovery>.img)
4 - Boot into the Oxygen recovery and flash OxygenOS.
This should get you up and running again.
Once you get tired of OxygenOS simply reboot back into your bootloader and flash TWRP and any rom of your liking.
In the future if you want to flash OxygenOS from TWRP you have to grab a build from XDA I guess. I'm not entirely sure why flashing from within TWRP won't work with stock OOS but I believe it expects to be flashed from withing the stock recovery.
I'm pretty confident this will solve your problems.
Please backup your data first though, don't want anything to get messed up in there!
Good luck!

Ok thank you.
i will try it.
So you are right, i tried to install OxygenOS with TWRP.
So is it not possible to have official OxygenOS with TWRP, Magisk and Root?
So i cannot backup OxygenOS with TWRP?

It is possible to have both OxygenOS and TWRP for sure!
Only a clean flash from a non-encrypted state in TWRP seems to break stuff. You can use a modified OOS build from the forums.
TWRP can indeed backup your OOS install so that shouldn't be a problem.
The only exception seems to be flashing a clean install of OxygenOS (from Oneplus Download center) through TWRP.
Other than that everything works as expected.

Ok thank you.
So i will follow you instructions and i hope it will work.
And i think so.
And after it i will install TWRP again (because i need the backup tool), i will install magisk. will this work?
So i can use everything as in a custom rom, but cannot make a clean install? So official Oneplus OTA will work with TWRP or not?
Thank you soooo much!

Also, Magisk/root works just fine on OxygenOS.
Once you flashed OOS from the stock recovery and have everything set up simply boot into your bootloader and flash TWRP.
From there you flash Magisk and everything should be fine.
OTA's from Oneplus also install fine through TWRP as long as you go into Magisk and uninstall 'root' first. When OxygenOS tells you there's an update simply remove Magisk as I said above and it'll update fine.

Ok thank you!
It worked!!!!! I am very happy!
So i will now install TWRP, and then magisk (newest version).
I have a question, because the last time i installed magisk it did not fully work.
If i install it i have root or? But how can i get saftynet in magisk?

First off! YAY!! glad it worked out!
Be sure to use the TWRP build from the twrp.me website. The one listed on these forums are 'unofficial'. Not saying those are bad, but the official one has a pretty impressive track-record.
After flashing Magisk you are root-enabled so yeah, congrats you are now root! In order to pass safetynet you must enable 'magisk hide' in the magisk manager (the app that should now be installed on your phone).
If you do not have an app called 'magisk manager' then you can download this app from the magisk forums. It should however install itself while flashing the Magisk zip. So assuming you have it installed find the 'magisk hide' service and enable it.
From my experience you sometimes need to reboot in order for it to pass safetynet check.
Glad it all worked out for you!

Everything worked!
Now i have OxygenOS 4.5.8 (with OTAs in future), magisk + root + saftynet and i can install something throug TWRP and backup.
SO PERFEKT.
You are a hero

Can't you just connect your phone to your PC and use MTP for the file transfer? Make sure to have MTP disabled under TWRP-> Mount -> Enable MTP

[GUIDE] Root using Magisk, keep stock recovery for OTA

This is a guide for people who want a rooted MIUI. It will keep stock recovery and system partitions untouched to allow MIUI OTAs to install without problems. It will also pass Google's safety net test so bank apps keep working. The best of both worlds really
Requirements:
- Unlocked bootloader
- Windows PC
- fastboot (present in the miunlock app folder)
- Latest TWRP (download here)
- Latest Magisk (download here)
Steps:
- Install latest Magisk app
- Put latest Magisk zip on your device storage (SD)
- Shut down device
- put latest twrp.img in miunlock folder
- Connect phone to PC
- Press volume down and power button to boot to fastboot mode
- Open "Command Prompt" on your PC
- Type: (without quotes)
----- "cd C:\Users\[your name]\Desktop\miflash_unlock-en-2.3.803.10" . (or wherever the folder is)
----- "fastboot devices"
----- "fastboot boot twrp.img"
- In a few seconds, TWRP will boot on your phone. DO NOT swipe to make changes to system.
- In TWRP, flash the Magisk zip
Enjoy root

Same as my question. Let say system partition won't touch by root, but twrp is installed over the Mi stock recovery. Will it install Eta?

This guide DOES NOT flash TWRP. Stock recovery remains so OTA updates work.
The only thing that is touched by this guide is the "Boot" partition to install magisk. You can restore stock "Boot" using magisk manager's uninstall option at any moment and be 100% stock again.

Ok, but is Xposed etc. possible?

Well... That's I mean, boot TWRP using adb
After have TWRP, how can i get update via OTA?

it successfully worked for Redmi Note 4 global beta/stable MIUI9.2
even installed camera api 2 using magisk module

Just a quick question. I've TWRP right now with SuperSU. So I'll remove SuperSU, flash Magisk in TWRP. All good till now, but I'd want the stock recovery, a flash-able zip maybe. How can I get it? From where?
**[EDIT]**
Okay. One can get it from fastboot ROMs available at MIUI website (here), extract the pack and get recovery.img.

Installed successfully on miui 9.2.1.0 stable
Now when a new update for magisk is released, how should i update it??

I have two questions:
1. Why does the bootloader need to be unlocked and how can I do that?
2. What happens to Magisk if I install an OTA?
I'd like to keep the phone untouched but I need to change emojis and with Xposed I can use Youtube in background.

Do you mean this?
When an OTA is available, please go to Magisk Manager → Uninstall → Restore Images. Do not reboot immediately or you will have Magisk uninstalled. This will restore your boot (or dtbo if available) back to 100% untouched stock images in order to pass verifications. This step is required before doing any of the following steps written below!

Updating when rooted?

Quick question; I'm on the T-Mobile OP6t. I'm running the stock rom but I'm rooted. If I wanted to update, how would I go about it? Would I just install the update and presumably lose root? So I'd have to flash magisk and re-root again after updating right?
Thanks in advance!

in the root of your memory, along with the TWRP intaller and Magisk installer files as well.

Updating on these phones is super simple thanks to the A/B partition.
Install update as normal but DO NOT restart immediately.
Before restarting, open Magisk manager and press "install magisk" and install to inactive slot.
Restart, done.

Would you do a local upgrade and select the full image? How do you install magisk to the inactive slot?

Pretty sure both the magisk installer and the twrp install script will automatically install to both slots

Nope.
The best thing to do is to take the standard upgrade or do local install twice to make sure both slots are at the same OS level.
When you boot TWRP then run the zip, it will install in both slots.
Magisk does not install to both slots. It only installs to the active slot.
You need to install, switch slots, reboot to TWRP again and install in that now active slots.
I make both slot_a and slot_b the same.

My mistake, just got the phone a couple days ago

If you're rooted it's going to download the whole rom anyways. If yu didn't install TWRP let it download and install and when it tells you to reboot, don't do it. Go to magisk and select uninstall, then restore from the next menu. Go to recents and close everything. Go back to magisk and select install, then install to inactive partition after OTA from the next menu. Magisk will reboot the phone when it's done installing itself to the inactive partition (where your new update is already installed) and the phone will boot to that when reboots. You've just completed a dirty flash and retained root.

This is how you update when rooted.. simple and easy

First, YMMV! Make backups, always.
Here's my process. It's worked for me for a good while now. My main goal was to do this all on-device, without using a computer or other ADB source. It assumes you keep TWRP installed.
1. Download the full OTA from Google. This is the one in a recovery flashable package, not the fastboot script one.
2. Download the TWRP installer.
3. Download the latest Magisk installer.
4. Turn off the screen lock. TWRP doesn't like it, and won't see the internal storage elsewise.
5. Boot to TWRP recovery.
6. Install the OTA zip via TWRP. DO NOT REBOOT NOW!
7. Install the TWRP recovery zip.
8. Reboot. I like to let Android boot all the way before I install Magisk. It may not be completely necessary, but I believe you have to switch the A/B slot in TWRP if you don't, before installing.
9. Boot to TWRP recovery again.
10. Install the Magisk zip.
11. Re-enable your security, including re-adding your fingerprints if you use them.
If you want to use an additional computer, just fastboot the full images after removing the "-w" from the bat file, fastboot boot to TWRP, then re-install TWRP (if desired) and Magisk.

Since October patch (rooted) I have massive problems my pc/my phone detecting my phone/my pc. I dont know why, its just charging, one time it worked (I need USB-Tethering) I was just restarting and restarting the phone, turning debugging on/off...
Any idea how to fix this?
edit: It just says unknown usb-device, I manually uninstalled and installed the latest android usb drivers. If I try to use an adb command it just says "error: no devices/emulators found"

Probably the worst security patch. My sensors aren't working properly, phone doesn't go off while i talk. It hangs at odd occasions. Battery is weak. Auto brightness isn't working either

11.0.2.2 and keeping root?

Now that 11.0.2.2 is available OTA, can anybody give me a quick guide on how to upgrade from my existing 11.0.1.1 without losing root?

Hi. you have to download the full rom package. disable all modules in magisk. update in local update system. especially do not restart. and in magisk manager click on install and install on inactive slot after OTA update. magisk will recreate a boot image on the inactive slot. which will become active on restart. once the restart is complete the root is kept. all that remains is to reactivate the magisk modules.

Hello.... Normally you have to install the twrp a/b script after install the local update and then the magisk in inactive slot.....
That was ok in a lot of older updates and works.
This time if can't install the twrp a/b script. Everytime I get a fault message that twrp is not present....?!
Very strange.....

That script is for older devices that has recovery inside boot.
OnePlus devices launches with Android 10 has a separate recovery slot. This means in order to install TWRP again your need to flash it with fastboot again.

Have said this before, shouldn't be any confusion, like I said I have a guide for it.
Extract from the guide for retaining root.
Update from 11 stable to 11+ stable whilst retaining root
For these guides the version used, was canary, simply change the channel to canary then select install / update:
Magisk Manager - Magisk (Canary) version: 1469b82a (21101)
Magisk - Magisk (Canary) version: 1469b82a (21101)
1. Download the relevant firmware for your device via oxygen updater
2. Open Magisk and remove all the modules you have installed, then reboot
**NOTE- At this point I copied out the whole firmware to my computer and extracted payload then extracted the contents of payload using payload dumper, the full firmware for 11.0.1.1 EU IN2023BA ,the boot img and patched boot img are at the foot of this guide.
3. Open up settings / system / system updates, click the cog and select "Local Upgrade" the file should be listed on screen, if not then move the file to the root of your phones storage /sdcard
4. Click install and allow it to go through the process
**NOTE- DO NOT REBOOT AT THIS POINT YOU WILL LOSE THE ABILITY TO PATCH ON THE FLY, SIMPLY BACK OUT OF THE SCREEN WHICH SAYS INSTALLATION COMPLETED. RESTART TO EXPERIENCE NEW FEATURES
5. Open up magisk and click install (you may see two install buttons, top one is magisk and the bottom is magisk manager, we need the top one)
6. You'll be faced with a screen that has several options, you want to select Install to Inactive slot (After OTA) then select "LET'S GO" once complete click reboot
7. Once your phones booted up your system / files should all remain as they were and you should have root access.

You have an easier method if the OTA update is there in the system. Follow below guide. Specifically, step 2,3 and 5. That's all you need. You don't need the whole update. Tested this twice. 11 to 11.0.1.1 and so on.

Steps 5 and 6 did not preserve root comping from OOS10. Magisk Manager is still there though. Looks like I'll be looking for a way to apply root again.
Edit: used the boot image from this link to get root back. I wasn't able to patch the file myself using Magisk Manager and fastboot boot it and have root enabled. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83775505&postcount=471
I was able to use the oneplus-8-pro_15.O.30_boot_patched IMG from the link to adb boot oneplus-8-pro_15.O.30_boot_patched.img from fastboot screen and then direct install Magisk from the manager. I retained root after a reboot.

Edit: used the boot image from this link to get root back. I wasn't able to patch the file myself using Magisk Manager and fastboot boot it and have root enabled. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83775505&postcount=471
I was able to use the oneplus-8-pro_15.O.30_boot_patched IMG from the link to adb boot oneplus-8-pro_15.O.30_boot_patched.img from fastboot screen and then direct install Magisk from the manager. I retained root after a reboot.

That must be you're magisk manager and or you left magisk modules enabled..
Otherwise your phone wouldn't be booted at all..
To confirm, the steps have been used 100's of times without problems, the few that have issues have specific problems, namely what I mentioned above but more often than not they have an issue they aren't aware of and don't declare to be so I can't help them.
I would hazard a guess that that is the problem

It was a couple of modules I forgot about. Got it sorted now. Thanks.

Not sure if the question was answered really. I have the ota update alert but can't install the ota without flashing the original boot.img (not a problem just have to get in front of a computer)..I tried this method but the full image on oxygen updater and OnePlus support site is 11.0.1.1 and not the new 11.0.2.2.
What's the easiest way of doing an ota without having to flash back stock boot.img, taking the ota, and reinstalling magisk/patching image if there's one?

Wait for the 11.0.2.2 Full update to keep root; that's what a few of us are waiting on as well

Thanks. Anybody had problems flashing back stock boot partition and taking the ota/rooting again manually via patched magisk image?

I've read some threads about problems and success's. I would check them out if your interested. I just take the ota, have magisk install to the inactive slot, and then reboot.

You were able to take the ota without reflashing stock boot.img? It's currently failing for me and I'm fairly sure it's because I have a patched boot partition (this happened already when I upgraded via ota from oxygen 10 that's why I'm fairly sure). Let me know.

Sounds like because of your patched boot.
No, I have not seen the full ota 11.0.2.2 to download, I was giving an example....
