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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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!
So far there's only a small sample, but I think there's enough of a pattern to constitute an issue. I've tried to flash the latest of both pixel experience (unofficial) and havoc, and each one sends me directly to either recovery or fastboot, depending on the order which I flash/wipe/factory reset. It's been a couple months since I've flashed anything other than an open beta update, but I never had any issues flashing ROMs.
For both I've tried:
Flash OOS. 9.0.13 (or OB13) in both slots
Flashed Twrp installer
Reboot to recovery
Flash custom ROM
Flash Twrp installer
Factory reset (tried full wipe as well)
It's at this point where I attempt to reboot to recovery to flash gapps (for havoc, not PE) I get sent to recovery or fastboot, depending on whether I reset or wipe data.
I can flash OOS and boot stable or open beta and boot into them with no problems. I've even allowed it to boot to the OOS welcome screen and went back to recovery to flash the custom ROM with the same outcome, doing a factory reset before I flash, after I flash, reboot to recover after flashing to factory reset. I've tried a full wipe in place of factory reset and all different combinations, all with the same result...

I think I've had this issue also--it might be necessary to let the OOS ROM boot up as system--no need to setup the phone, then reboot yourself to TWRP and flash whatever else you want.
It was confusing to me too, and I didn't take notes, so don't know exactly what happened.
Also, maybe don't try to flash things to both partitions--just let the installers do their work as they are made to do without any extra steps.
Since you've already factory reset/wiped, it might help to skip this step also, as a trial.
Did you have Magisk before, and uninstall it first? Might help, as uninstalling restores system images or somesuch.
And, there are some occasions where a ROM flash won't reboot properly without first installing Magisk, but don't recall the incidentals of this either.
Regardless, we'll have a record if you post what steps succeeded in your case.

Everywhere I've read says to flash OOS to both partitions so if there's an issue with the custom ROM there's a fallback.. I don't flash the custom ROM to both partitions, only OOS. Also, I've tried letting OOS boot to the welcome screen, then back to recovery; I didn't do any setup.
I have magisk installed in OOS, though I haven't tried flashing it when flashing the ROMs. When flashing ROMs I've always flashed the ROM and Twrp, reboot straight to recovery, and flash gapps/Magisk. In my experience, I've been able to skip rebooting back to recovery to flash Magisk and gapps and just boot straight to the barebones ROM.
To reiterate, I use the exact same process to flash OOS and it works flawlessly; can flash the stable or open beta, no issues. It's only non-OOS that refuses to work correctly.
I'm wondering if I need to use the unbrick tool and start from a 100% clean slate .. something may be borked that an unbrick may fix, it's about the only option left that I can think of...

Thank you for the ideas
I ran the unbrick tool and still encountered the issues, but I did learn something, and also finally got havoc to boot, although I'm still unsure exactly what I did. I'm not saying I figured out exactly what is wrong, and I can't say I know the exact solution, but I CAN say I believe the solution lies somewhere within this wall I'm typing.,..
I noticed this earlier but it didn't actually click until I still got the same error after the unbrick tool... I would always boot correctly to OOS on slot b, so after every successful boot, I'd go into recovery and try flashing.. now taking into account the fact that I flashed OOS in both slots is important because on a successful boot, which would be slot b, I'd go into recovery, still on slot b, so that's the first slot to get OOS. Change slots, flash to slot a, then boot to OOS. If I'm remembering how a/b partitions go, since slot A was the last slot to flash, it would automatically fall back to slot b to boot. Hence the successful boot. Go back to recovery, flash havoc on b, it would attempt to boot from a, and fail.. go back to recovery, I'm back on slot b to start the process over.
After still encountering the problem after the unbrick, I really began paying attention to the boot slots. Once I was paying attention to that, I attempted to manually boot from slot a after flashing OOS to both slots and I got sent to a screen that says Qualcomm crashdump mode. Power +vol up/dn to force a reboot, then volume down until the bootloader unlocked splash screen to go to recovery.
Now this is what I think I did... After figuring out it was the slot, I believe I formatted slot a, and due to the way it fell, slot b then began being the slot to mess up so i made sure to flash havoc/twrp installer in the slot a and it booted right up. Went back to recovery to flash magisk and gapps, and finally a factory reset. Boot from slot a, and here I am.
There were times where I would get stuck in fastboot, boot to recovery or system would just send me to fastboot.. I guess that also meant I was booting from the bad slot. I tried fastboot boot twrp.img, it would send it, but fail to authenticate. Fixed that by doing fastboot --set-active=b then I could restart back to recovery no problem.
Hey guys,
I just oem unlocked my new 6T and have access to the bootloader. As I try to install TWRP with
HTML:
fastboot boot imagename.img
my computer says that it pushes the image just fine, but my phone restarts and then never makes it past the fastboot splash screen instead of loading up TWRP.
I was following the fajita (6T) instructions from the lineage OS website.
The first time I did it it worked, but following the instructions on installing lineage and telling me to wipe and format data, both the recovery seems to be gone and i cannot fastboot boot into TWRP.
Can you help?
Seems the same with what i experienced. Have you tried installing a fastboot rom? I had my oneplus 6t bootlooped into fastboot mode even if i try to turn it off, it just boots back automatically to fastboot mode. Last resort was to flash a fastboot rom. That worked for me.

I tried 3.3.1.1. and 3.2.3.0.
What you are describing, I'm going to assume you are trying to install Lineage 17. You can't install TWRP if you are going Android 10, at least that's the conclusion I've come to at this point in time. It will fail to boot or end up in crash dump mode every time you try and enter recovery if you are on a custom ROM. If you are on Android 9, it's not an issue. I believe it's OK stock as well, but I don't know haven't tried, haven't been stock in a long time.
For LOS 17, only boot the TWRP image, never boot to recovery, never run the TWRP installer. You will likely still have to format data.
I have a post here, from when I had a similar issue. (instructions)
You'll notice the OmniRom instructions don't mention installing TWRP, only booting it.
Once I was in your spot, I always went back to stock using the fastboot ROM, installed TWRP, updated (still using TWRP), then started over with my install.
Well no, i was actually trying to install Lineage 16, which is Android 9 I believe.
The problem for me is that I do not get to the point where TWRP opens after "fastboot boot"ing it. So I understand, I should use a fastboot stock ROM? Is there such a thing? Where would I find it? Or would it be an OnePlus Oxygen ROM that I can fastboot?
Quickest way to start over:
To get back straight your gonna need to access a Windows PC, and run the MSM tool. Make sure you install both OnePlus and Qualcomm drivers.

Well no, i was actually trying to install Lineage 16, which is Android 9 I believe.
The problem for me is that I do not get to the point where TWRP opens after "fastboot boot"ing it. So I understand, I should use a fastboot stock ROM? Is there such a thing? Where would I find it? Or would it be an OnePlus Oxygen ROM that I can fastboot?

Were you on Android 10 before (OOS)? That will do that. LOS 16 is Android 9 and should have no problems installing TWRP or booting to it.. For LOS 16 I'd go back to 9.0.17, then install LOS 6T.
I posted these LOS install instructions a long time ago for another user.
Remember the MSM Tool will relock your bootloader so if something goes wrong the MSM Tool is your only choice. That is why it is always the last thing I resort to.
Thread to get Fastboot stock Roms if you want to try that route first.
Hey guys,
thank you so much for all your help. I've managed to use mauronofrios workaround here on xda to put my phone in a 9.0.17 state again (no idea what i had originally), and this way i could fastboot the twrp image again. so that worked fine, but so far flashing lineage hasnt worked, for whatever reason it seems to boot into a lineageos kind of recovery only (which i didnt even know existed).
So i guess in terms of this thread the problem is solved. Thank you again!

Did you see my Lineage install instructions above? LOS installs its on Recovery when you flash the ROM. When om Android 9, boot TWRP, flash the TWRP installer, reboot to Recovery, install LOS 16, flash the TWRP installer again (replaces the LOS recovery that was installed), reboot to Recovery, install gapps / magisk if desired, reboot.
Read my instructions post though, the first time install is different, as you need LOS on both slots. Updating is different as well, its much easier.
It should go smoothly.

Do I need to be on Android 9 Stock when I start that process? What I did was boot into TWRP, flash TWRP installer, reboot into recovery, then format and wipe ALL partitions (except USB), then reboot into recovery again and then flash LOS, flash TWRP, reboot into recovery, flash LOS, flash TWRP, reboot system. Still no luck...

Wiping, Dalvik / ART, System, and Vendor is generally a bad idea. You can do them in certain situations, this isn't one of those situations you should be wiping those though. Factory reset, means the slider on the main page of the wipe screen that says swipe to factory reset, format data is the button that says format data. Don't do anything extra. If you did, yeah I would go back to 9.0.17 using the fastboot rom again, that will put everything back on both slots.
like OhioYJ stated, don't use advanced wipe. re-run the msm tool. Then follow his instuctions. You shouldn't need to preform any manual data wiping. The process of flashing will do everything required. looks like you're almost there
Thanks guys. I will try it out and let you know.
Edit: So I finally managed to properly install LOS - OhioYJ, your instructions worked! I installed 9.0.17 and went from there without wiping any additional partitions.
One questions remains: in your instructions you mention that after installing LOS once, you can update LOS as normal and you mention doing it via the recovery with flashing TWRP or GAPPS later again. Is it possible to do the update via the normal update function of LOS as well? Or will that overwrite TWRP?
You guys are awesome. Thank you so much for your help!
I seem to be stuck on the fastboot screen as well. Being on a MAC, anytime i try to do something in fastboot it goes straight back to the fastboot screen. I Thought I was on Android 10.0 trying to install recovery for that lead to bootloop of fastboot, tried using the Pie recovery and same thing. I am open to suggestions.
Thanks.

What you are describing, I'm going to assume you are trying to install Lineage 17. You can't install TWRP if you are going Android 10, at least that's the conclusion I've come to at this point in time. It will fail to boot or end up in crash dump mode every time you try and enter recovery if you are on a custom ROM. If you are on Android 9, it's not an issue. I believe it's OK stock as well, but I don't know haven't tried, haven't been stock in a long time.
For LOS 17, only boot the TWRP image, never boot to recovery, never run the TWRP installer. You will likely still have to format data.
I have a post here, from when I had a similar issue. (instructions)
You'll notice the OmniRom instructions don't mention installing TWRP, only booting it.
Once I was in your spot, I always went back to stock using the fastboot ROM, installed TWRP, updated (still using TWRP), then started over with my install.

Twrp is working fine with Android 10, using mauronofrio version and magisk 20.2

Yeah it starting to seem like it maybe isolated to Lineage. You cant install TWRP with LOS 17. Someone else mentioned in the Omni thread that it worked. This thread is about Lineage, but that should be clarified, or clearer.
Hi All
So I decided to try a custom ROM on my 6T the other day, but am having no end of trouble trying to get it to work.
To start, I was running 10.3.1 on my phone, and was Unlocked, but not Rooted, since i lost TWRP+Magisk after installing the last OS update.
So I go into fastboot, boot up the latest TWRP-Q image, and try to install magisk, but all my sdcard folders are just garbage text - can't do anything with them. I assume this is some sort of encryption thing, so i reboot to go back to the OS and see if a can disable it.
However - the phone won't boot now - just loops back into Recovery everytime. Tried everything i can think of, nothing seems to work, so I cut my losses and reboot to fastboot and flash the fastboot 10.3.1
let that start up and everything seems fine, so i reboot to fastboot, boot up TWRP again, and then "install recovery ramdisk" like the instructions say t, and then reboot to recovery. all good so far.
Next, i copy on the 10.3.1 flashable ZIP, and the PixeN OS zip. instructions there say to flash 10.3.1 followed by TWRP twice, so i do that, rebooting to recovery between each, and then install the PixeN OS zip and TWRP as well.
Reboot after that, and phone just loops back into TWRP, and all my sdcard folders are garbage again!
I've no idea what I'm doing wrong, but i've tried the same process with 3 different custom roms so far and get the same result every time.
Flash the OOS fastboot image, boot and install TWRP, install OOS flashable and TWRP twice, then the ROM zip and TWRP, and then everytime after that, my phone just loops into recovery every time - and shows the same garbled folder names.
I'm at a loss as to what's going wrong - can anyone help?
The only thing I can come up with is what they all keep saying in the topics; have you disabled the lockscreen? I haven't yet tried to flash a custom rom but that's what I am missing in your story.
You have backed up your phone?
Then reinstall OxygenOS 10.3.1 in all slots, and reinstall TWRP, and finally do factory reset and data wipe, and reboot back into TWRP. And, copy the files you want installed back on the phone (TWRP will mount the phone as a MTP storage drive on the computer, of course) and then install your favorite OS and TWRP in both slots then reboot back into recovery one final time. Finally install Magisk and gapps (if you want to), and reboot (then install any Magisk add-ons once you get back into your phone).
That's because OxygenOS' SSD encryption is a bit strict for our liking.

OK thanks - that's pretty much what I did, but I'll try again following your exact steps - thanks for the help!
Be sure whatever you installed is in both slots or the SSD will keep corrupting. I had to do that on both slots so I don't keep bricking it - I have bricked the converted T-Mobile OnePlus 6T about eight to ten times figuring out why I wasn't able to install anything atop OxygenOS 10.3.1 ROM.

Today I finally made the step of switching to a custom recovery/rom on my Xiaomi Mi 9T. The first and last time installing a custom rom (2 or 3 years ago on ZUK Z2) was quite a long time ago, so I checked several videos showing bootloader unlocking and all those steps.
one video used orangefox and I tried to flash it onto the device. The guy in the video used Yuware to flash orangefox and it successfully flashed it and I could also boot into it. For my Z2 I used a usb-c to usb-a connector and I would have gapps, rom etc on a USB drive. But I didn't have one on me so I booted into the phone to place gapps, rom and vendor (new to me) by dragging the files onto the phone storage using my PC. Once I booted into recovery the custom recovery was gone and it went to MI recovery 3.0
I tried to flash TWRP with ADB and Fastboot, and I managed to do so but still, when I wanted to go back to TWRP after booting into the phone it went back to MI recovery.
This is really annoying and there are some similar posts on forums but I haven't found a solution. I hope somebody can help me

Right after flashing TWRP from Fastboot, immediately reboot to TWRP:
>> fastboot oem reboot-recovery
You must enter your Android unlock pin for TWRP to be able to access Data (and Internal storage)
After those two steps TWRP should stay - if still not (?!) you would also need to flash lMagisk patched boot image or flash Magisk from TWRP (with that, TWRP will definitely stay, it always does ) or VBMeta ((I'm not familiar with, never used, google about)

Really appreciate your effort, but it did not work :/. The command let TWRP boot and also asked for my pattern. But when I turned it off, and went into recovery mode it just went straight into the mi recovery again.
Magisk is actually a root right? I do not have any experience when it comes to that. If Magisk lets me keep my TWRP, I'd be happy to install it. But will it affect any other apps, causing me to get bypasses and stuff? Because I use snapchat on a daily basis but i'd find it disappointing if I have to get through several fixes if I went on to install Magisk. Or is that something I will just have to accept?

With Magisk hide you will e.g. get SafetyNet to pass, currently it should be failing for you because of detectimg that Bootloader is unlocked (if you are on stock firmware)
everytime i updated the MIUI, the recovery went to stock. then i install twrp, then reboot directly into twrp, then flashed recovery again in twrp, then rebooted...
after this, the recovery did not change to stock anymore.
Hello, I also have this problem, I have been offered several solutions, but I am still in doubt:
