Hey everyone. I just got my new OnePlus 3T a week back. I was loving it till today but I wanted to mess with my phone and I guess I did just that. Long story short, I was on 7.1.1 and unlocked OEM and installed TWRP. Phone booted up and i went into recovery and installed Super SU and the dm verity. After this step, my phone is stuck on the boot animation. I'm able to access TWRP as well as Fastoot ADB. I want to sideload the stock OxygenOS ROM into my phone through ADB, but i'm unsure which file to flash and the exact process. Could someone please help me out? :crying:
That's why you always make a nandroid back up
I figured out why the adb sideload wasn't working. I tried to do the sideload directly from the ADB cmd while my phone was in fastboot mode. So, I tried an alternate method by going into TWRP and doing the sideloading from the advanced menu. It worked and I'm setting up my OP 3T now Guess I jumped the gun by posting here without thinking.
On a side note, my device doesn't have root access now. Maybe it never got installed properly before getting bricked. I think it had to with the fact that I had updated to 7.1.1 by using a VPN. I'm pretty good at following instructions so i couldn't have gone wrong. Can anyone tell me if i can go ahead and root my device now that I'm back on stock OS?
You dont flash supersu and dm verity files at the same time
No wonder you end up in bootloop
Multiple threads are already there about the same issue.
For root just flash supersu

Damn, I didn't know that. I only searched for the bootloop issue and didn't really find something that seemed simple enough for me. Almost all the guides I read had similar instructions so I flashed the Dm-verity first and then the Super SU immediately after that. What does dm verity do if it doesnt need to be flashed? And just so that I'm clear - flashing Super SU is enough and no need to bother with the dm verity?

There's a much much simpler solution, you just use magisk. There's no need to flash supersu or dm-verity fix, just flash the latest magisk zip file in TWRP -> reboot -> install Magisk manager from playstore and you have perfectly working rooted phone.

Tried flashing the Magisk v9 zip and checked the option that goes something like "verify after flashing" and it failed. Should I uncheck both those options before flashing or flash the phh super user zip too?

Always flash the latest magisk, and you don't need to flash phh or anything else. Magisk now comes with magisksu that works great with OOS 4.1.1.
Check the link below for latest magisk
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless
If you don't mind losing your data, you can try this 100% clean but slightly painful install. It might be overkill for most but you can start from a clean slate. Backup your stuff to the PC before you do this.
1. Flash compatible stock recovery (stock recovery for android N) in fastboot
2. Now choose to wipe everything (even music, photos) from stock recovery. You will lose everything on your phone.
3. Sideload OOS 4.1.1 rom
4. Reboot and complete phone setup
You are now completely stock except with a unlocked bootloader. In order to gain root, continue further -
5. Enable developer options in Settings and then enable Advanced Reboot and USB debugging
6. Reboot to fastboot and flash twrp 3.0.4.-1
7. Reboot to twrp and flash Magisk v11. 1 zip
8. Reboot and install Magisk Manager from playstore.
Congratulations, you have a stock 4.1.1 with working root and it will even pass safety net check (enable magisk hide in magisk manager)
I was on Oos 4.5.1 and wanted to update to Oreo. I followed the thread on this forum and downloaded the new TWRP BluSpark img file, the OOS full package and the Magisk zip. Booted into recovery, installed the img file and flashed OOS and the Magisk zip file. When i rebooted into system, i noticed Root wasn't installed and my recovery had reverted to stock recovery but my device bootloader was still unlocked. So i booted into fastboot mode, flashed the Blusparks img file and booted into recovery and flashed the magisk file. Now the phone rebooted and its stuck on the "Powered By Android" screen. The boot image of OP hasn't shown up. What do i do? I really don't want to hard reset my phone :/
No need to hard reset the phone, just go to recovery clean flash excluding internal storage then flash oxygen os 5.0 zip file and magisk 14.5.
Magisk 14.0 has boot issues.
I had similar issues which I resolved easily.
You may trigger DM verity flag after booting which you can disable easily.

Oh yes, i figured Magisk 14.0 was the issue. I waited for 30 mins+ and the phone still didnt boot up, so i switched it off and booted into recovery and flashed just the OOS zip file and it worked. I don't want to wipe data as well.
Can i flash Blusparks twrp from adb, boot into recovery and just flash OOS and Magisk 14.5 and wipe dalvik/cache?

You can flash bluspark recovery from fastboot. But for the successful installation and avoid problems, forget the application data. You can fresh install apps which is always recommended while flashing any ROM even if it is updated version. I never dirty flash ROM. I care for internal storage and not for the small apps.
You can try dirty flash as you stated but stability may be an issue.
Dirty flashed with Magisk 14.5 and it worked

Hey there! I just got my Xiaomi Mi8 from HK Goldway at Aliexpress. It came with its bootloader already unlocked and a Global ROM flashed.
I wanted to install Magisk but failed horribly . I've already done that to several phones (my last one was a Moto X Play, and it worked without major complications). But with this one, it seems I can't get past the bootlogo.
Stock Fastboot image used:
dipper_global_images_V9.5.13.0.OEAMIFA_20180714.0000.00_8.1_global
This is what I've tried so far:
First try
Flashed TWRP for Mi8 version 0711.
Flashed Magisk.
Got a bootloop.
Reflashed stock image via Fastboot.
Second try
Booted (not flashed) TWRP.
Tried to install latest global weekly from this thread.
Also got a bootloop.
Reflashed stock image via Fastboot.
Third try
I thought that those flashable ZIP firmwares were too small for them to be a full-fledged OS. So I went and downloaded this other one. Global version.
I read somewhere that I needed to format data before flashing a new image, so I did.
Booted TWRP.
Formated data (not Wipe)
Installed that ZIP from TWRP and booted correctly.
Booted TWRP again and flashed Magisk.
Got bootloop.
Back to stock image via fastboot.
Last try
Booted TWRP.
Formatted data.
Installed MIUI via TWRP.
Without rebooting, flashed Magisk and no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip.
This got past bootlogo ("Unlocked" message changed to "powered by Android") but got stuck there. Not booting at all.
Right now I'm back to the last try, booting MIUI successfully but without Magisk nor no-verity-opt-encrypt.
I kinda have no more ideas left. I understand this is a new device but I can't understand why people claim the have been able to install Magisk and I can't! Other thoughts were, maybe they were running MIUI 10 Beta and it only works with that version? I'm unsure about that.
Can someone lend me a hand? What am I missing?
Thank you!!
EDIT: FIX!
Over here, user @richardyusan helped me out with an extra step.
What I did:
Installed Magisk V16.7.
Installed DM-VERITY AND FORCED ENCRYPTION DISABLER.
Performed fastboot format userdata.
Rebooted.
And I got my phone booting with Magisk Installed!
Even though I couldn't install any module, (every install claimed I needed Magisk v15+). I read some threads and with a Magisk Direct re-install (from its app) I got Magisk downgraded to v16 and everything worked perfectly!
Hope this works out for everyone having this problem!
have you tried to use Magisk 16.4,

Thank you for the fast reply!
I followed that guide and tried these steps:
fastboot boot mi8-twrp-3.2.2.img
Unencrypted via Pattern
Flashed Magisk v16.4 + DM verity disabler file
Reboot
But I'm still stuck at "powered by Android" bootlogo.
Normally it boots within 5 seconds but now it's taking forever. I'll wait a few minutes to see what happens.
I'm attaching some screenshots of the install process.

Ok,
but if you install Magisk 16.4, don't install also DM verity disabler.
DM verity disabler is needed if you don't want to root (see poin 14 in the linked guide).
Hope it works...

If I only flash Magisk 16.4, then phone shows "Powered by Android" and instantly reboots into stock recovery.
Only way to get it back booting, is performing fastboot flash boot boot.img from stock dipper_global_images_V9.5.13.0.OEAMIFA_20180714.0000.00_8.1_global image
I read somewhere about official and unofficial bootloader unlock. I didn't unlock the bootloader myself. Maybe it has something to do with it?
PS: Anyone had any luck using Magisk with MIUI 9.5.13?
Did you try with a newer magisk version ? ... 16.7 was released 15 day ago
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
Direct link: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v16.7/Magisk-v16.7.zip
It´s a good practice to use magisk_uninstaller before flash new one if you had problems.

I just tried that. Uninstalling and re-installing v16.7. Although it seems now it's doing a few more steps, I'm still getting the recovery bootloop.

Exactly that. Maybe we'll need to wait for a supported Magisk version. I'm still wondering what's the difference between our Mi8's that some can get Magisk working and some not. ?
I am running Magisk stable and tmiui 10 from Xiaomi. Eu without any problems.
I have a Mi 8 se and i install the eu rom boot the phone , reboot to twrp wipe and factory reset and installed magisk 16.4 .this is how works for me
i have the same problem too..when using china stable rom 16.7 magisk can be installed successfully tried many times...
flashing global version seems to have this issue...
tried all this steps too but no luck in global rom...

Well maybe the critical step is to wipe everything, including System.
Did you Format anything instead of Wipe this last try?
Also, could you please share a link from that working MIUI rom?

I just checked and no. If I go to Google Settings -> Voice, Voice Match is disabled because "This feature is currently unavailable for this language". Even though it's set to English UK. Maybe there is some Magisk Module to enable it?
Thanks, followed these steps and it got magisk going on the recent global release. Only difference was i had to use fastboot erase userdata.

You need to flash Magisk after flashing TWRP
1. Flash Latest TWRP
2. Reboot to TWRP
3. Flash Magisk
If you boot in to system after flashing TWRP, TWRP will be removed

If you are on stock Rom, according to my knoweldge it is not possible to remove encryption, if you format your date in twrp for removing encryption then reboot to system you can see that the phone is again encrypted.
But in custom roms this doesnt happen.

You don't have to flash Magisk after flashing TWRP. The two are unrelated.
After flashing TWRP you have to boot into recovery, not system. Once TWRP was started, you can reboot into system. No need for Magisk (unless you want Magisk anyway).

It will not work in stock ROM, if you flash a custom rom there is no need to flash Magisk.
You should flash Magisk or custom kernel after flashing TWRP otherwise it will be erased.

I am using stock ROM, and yes, also Magisk (installed later). IIRC Magisk is not needed for TWRP to work. When I receive the next OTA notification, I will test this.
The thread you are referring to is for a OnePlus 3T. For our device this is the thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g5s-plus/development/recovery-twrp-3-1-1-r7-t3694910.
Since there is no official TWRP for the Moto G5S Plus, I took the following text from the TWRP page for the Moto G5S.
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.

Instead of that you can also use fastboot reboot-bootloader, and then from the bootloader start recovery.

Two days ago I received a notification for an OTA update, containing the August 2019 security patches.
After going back to stock ROM, installing all the updates up to the latest, I installed TWRP. After booting into recovery, and then into system, and recovery again, TWRP was gone. Strange, I don't remember this happening before. Maybe I always installed Magisk before booting into system.
Bottom line: you were right, I was wrong. Thanks for pointing it out.

As like you said this is the first time in my life i need to flash magisk to stick twrp.
I usualy doesn't use root or custom roms, install twrp, remove unnecessary apps from stock system, replace host files with adaway hosts, replace or edit gps config files. and continue using stock.
This is the main routine from Android 1.5
(Samsung spica (i think it was the first Android phone from Samsung)).
It may be due to security reason stock kernel or system delete twrp.
When installing magisk it patch stock boot image, that may be the reason of twrp remains after flashing magisk.
i saw an update on Redmi Note 8T (11.0.9).
I'm rooted with TWRP, so I just tried to update. New update was downloaded into directory downloaded_rom.
phone was automatically rebooted into TWRP, but I didnt know there is update in that directory. I just rebooted device into system.
I got a message that update failed. I click update and started to look for file/folder created during download process. So i discovered directory downloaded_rom in root folder.
phone was automatically rebooted into recovery (twrp) and it was flashing update without my help.
after reboot, device was updated. the only thing to do was flash TWRP (i have paid version of TWRP) and flash magisk.
everything works fine and my phone is rooted on 11.0.9.
i thing, that second file was whole ROM (1.9GB)
in my personal experience, if you get rebood to twrp, flash Disable Dm Verity ForceEncrypt to boot into rom

Was Magisk installed before the update? Since you are saying it rebooted to TWRP without you knowing, were you able to restore stock images before updating? Could you also provide information concerning the update? For example, miui version (updating from vXXX to vXXX)

i saw an update on Redmi Note 8T (11.0.9).
I'm rooted with TWRP, so I just tried to update. New update was downloaded into directory downloaded_rom.
phone was automatically rebooted into TWRP, but I didnt know there is update in that directory. I just rebooted device into system.
I got a message that update failed. I click update and started to look for file/folder created during download process. So i discovered directory downloaded_rom in root folder.
phone was automatically rebooted into recovery (twrp) and it was flashing update without my help.
after reboot, device was updated. the only thing to do was flash TWRP (i have paid version of TWRP) and flash magisk.
everything works fine and my phone is rooted on 11.0.9.
i thing, that second file was whole ROM (1.9GB)

What I meant was whether you uninstalled Magisk/restored original boot img prior to the update because sometimes not doing so tends to result in bootloop (happened to me before). I needed some information before I attempt the update myself. Thank you for replying.
P.S. One more question: All data was preserved, right?
