Couldn't update Installation problem with august update

So this week i hadn't time enough to install the august update since my phone is rooted so i decided to do it now. What i did before trying to download the update :
1.Deleted all magisk modules that i had then rebooted
2.Unistalled magisk using restore image then rebooted
3.Went to sys update downloaded and it says installation failed
What do to? I'm not rooted now and i don't have twrp installed.
PS. don't want to install it via fastboot/miflash

Follow this guide in future. https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md#ota-installation-tips
To fix your problem now, find a stock boot image for your update version you are currently on and flash it.

If you don't want to use Miflash (Why ?) you can boot temporary TWRP and flash .zip here:

I'm facing same issue and I was following the guide.

Same here, can't install set Ota, even after remove magisk.
Other thing, cell won't show screen to put pin to boot, previous pin of sim so I think encryption is disable!? Any idea?

Storage mounting issues after flashing TWRP

Just unlocked and flashed TWRP. No matter what I try, I can't get it to recognise my storage to install SuperSU.
What can I do to fix this?
I am on stock OOS 5.1.5
Thanks
EDIT - Worked it out. I formatted the data and it then let me install SuperSU.
EDIT 2 - After installing SuperSU zip file, the phone wasn't rooted when rebooting and also, TWRP won't recognise my data once I rebooted into it again.
Any ideas?

After twrp installation and before the first system reboot you need to flash magisk so twrp will be stick in place.
I really don't know if it works with supersu. Do you want to stay encrypted(internal storage)? Which twrp(file name) did you flash?

Preferably encrypted. I flashed twrp 3.1.1 cheeseburger.
I am trying to install Franco Kernel. So I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP 3.1.1 and then tried to flash Super SU or Magisk and neither worked. It came up with an issue with file mounting.

It seems to me you did not use latest blu spark or codeworkx recovery instead you used official twrp.
It's recommended to not use official twrp. Please change the twrp and test again.

You are correct. I did not use the blu spark TWRP.
Can I use TWRP 3.1.1 BLU spark version, or shall I use 3.2.1 blu spark?

All done! I now have another issue. I originally tried to flash Super SU and it did not work. I have tried to flash Magisk today after flashing franco kernel and get an error says that there is an unsupported boot image program or something.
I am on stock OOS, with franco kernel and no root. How can I get it so that I am on stock OOS with franco kernel and Magisk?
Thanks.

So what do I need to do to uninstall SuperSU?
The main issue is, after installing supersu, my phone still wasn't rooted!

Normally not, but if needed: every rom zip comes along with a boot.img inside the zip. Just extract it from this rom zip and you have the kernel of this rom :good:

Do I need to wipe or anything? Or do I just flash the boot.img, wipe cache and then flash Magisk? Or shall I boot fully into the OS, then back into TWRP to flash it?
Still not sure where I get the correct boot.img from!
Edit - can I dirty flash the whole firmware? I would like to do this so I can do a clean backup with the stock kernel before I then flash Magisk and Franco. Would this work?

You can also flash the complete rom with kernel.
But just look inside the downloaded rom zip file, there's the boot.img you're looking for. You don't need to wipe anything or boot into OS for flashing just the kernel!

sideload installation keeps failing.

I'm trying to revert my oneplus 5 back to stock. I done all the steps got stock recovery installed. When I attempt to sideload original oos through adb sideload it keeps failing at 46%. Any advice would be very appreciated.. I've read so much and tried so many different things. I am completely stuck.

I got the phone from a friend and it has been completely wiped and formatted through TWRP. He did have a nougat custom ROM on it prior to that.
I tried to sideload to it with TWRP and it wouldn't work. I followed directions from a website that explains how to revert your op5 back to stock using stock recovery. I was trying to put the original oxygen OS ROM on it that came with the phone using the stock recovery and adb and fastboot. I'm thinking maybe I possibly downloaded the wrong OOS version. Who knows. Lol .
It had nougat Pure FusionOS 7.1.2. encrypted...SuperSU root and TWRP blue spark.
Now all it has is stock recovery with No OS
Would like to get OOS pie on it eventually.

You need to flash 5.1.4 at first to create the vendor partition like described here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003 then you can flash 5.1.7.

I think it's done. It's beyond me.. I've read so much trying to get this thing fixed I can't even see straight.. lol

It lets me copy small files over like magisk v18. It works. When I attempt to copy 5.1.4 rpm over it says device stopped not responding. Crazy

You need to mount internal storage, not system. Is your twrp updated to latest codeworkx?

I'm redownloading 5.1.4
I tried to copy over another ROM I had and it started to copy over so it is the file that was corrupted.

You can go(in twrp) to mount - > vendor. But the recovery should mount it automatically when it's created by flashing 5.1.4.

Yeah that's the same one I'm using I'm thinking maybe I don't have TWRP setup right is there any settings I'm supposed to go into?
Even when I check off everything in advanced wipe and do a wipe it comes up fine all the way to the end and then it says failed to mount vendor (invalid argument)
I liked everything again in TWRP I went to flash 514 and it works all the way up to the end and fails to mount vendor invalid argument.
Somehow I need to activate the vendor partition or something.
well I'm going back to reading like a madman and figure out if anybody else had this problem online. Lol thanks

TWRP-Flashable stock ROM? [Lavender Global]

Hello,
I'm interested in going back to stock after having some issues with xiaomi.eu ROMs. However, the one time I tried it, I had an error mid-flash (with MiFlashTool) and the phone got wiped. Thankfully I was able to re-flash TWRP and flash Xiaomi.eu ROM from there. But I want to return to stock now. However, I don't want to have to use MiFlashTool as last time I did that, the phone almost got bricked. Xiaomi's tools are horrible anyway.
Is there a way to get the latest stable Global ROM for Lavender in a .ZIP file that I'd be able to flash from TWRP?
Any help is appreciated.

Every zip from the official MIUI download page are flashable via TWRP. Remember to make a full backup with TWRP and also backup your internal sdcard as the global rom will reset the official recovery and encrypt your data again (that's what happened in my case).

All guides point to using Fastboot flash and that's what almost killed my phone last time.
I've flashed xiaomi.eu Stable now, and did a /data format and full wipe. Let's see if this isn't better. I honestly just want stuff to work at this point.
