Last night i bricked my phone and accidently deleted system partitions i think from slot A and slot B when i was trying to install twrp. I always try to figure out how to fix it from reading helpful guides and without asking questions. I flashed full image a couple of times because i was getting bootloops everytime. In the last try, i flashed full image then gave me a bootloop again. So what i did, i adb sideload ota and it booted fine. Now im rooted and it seems i installed twrp correctly, i currently have nde63v build. At the moment i have supposedly used 22.71gb of 29.70gb.
So can someone let me know what i did wrong or point me out how to get those gbs back please.

I tried factory reset already but still shows system using 19.9gbs.
Have you tried doing a complete full flash of nde63v without installing TWRP or root to see if it goes back to normal?

Mine shows system using 19.9 gigs also. I posted this on another thread as I thought it seemed high but no one said weather it was high or was not so I assumed it was normal to use 19.9 gigs of space on my verizon pixel xl. I"am rooted on the x software but I couldnt get twrp working and I figured what good was TWRP if there was no supersu that was working with it and I decided to wait for TWRP to get out of beta to try again.

If you are getting a bootloop after flashing a factory image, I would assume it isn't flashing correctly. Can you post the output of what happens when you run the flashall.bat?

im able to flash every single img, but when i try to flash flashall.bat it doesnt seem to work. I will give it a try once i get home from work. The only thing bugging me is that the system shows using 19.9gb of space.
Mine is only using 6.79GB. Something is definitely off with yours.

I fixed it, i flashed full system image while i was on slot A. Now system is using 5.39gb, im on V build.
i have the same problem with a 128GB version not sure whats up but to fix it i just flashed over and over and one of them just worked would be nice to know the cause so i dont have to flash many times to get it to show full space again.

I figured out how to fix it by selecting slot a through twrp, booting into fastboot and flashing stock images. However, I am curious how it even ended up on slot b when I went from stock to unlocked and simply flashed the factory images. I never intended to switched from a to b.

whenever you flash a factory img or an OTA, or any firmware, the slots will switch unless told not to, i believe this is to keep them in sync aka the seamless updates. here is some info on that - http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/1...-partition-changes-and-new-fastboot-commands/
Quick Tip - while in cmdlne for ADB and Fastboot, and fully updated, just type
Code:
adb
to get all the ADB commands available, and likewise for fastboot, just type
Code:
fastboot
And to switch active slots type
Code:
fastboot set_active -a
or
Code:
fastboot set_active -b
. Then to activate slot
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
I believe with TWRP installed you have to switch slots in TWRP.

Moving on, I found this to be pretty helpful, it's not the exact answer you are looking for, but i think it will come in handy.
All dual-booting credit in this thread goes to hucqym, this wasn't my idea, im just a messenger.
hucqym said:
so I successfully have the dual boot running on my pixel (verizon edition) with the same configuration you are trying (one is NDE63X image rooted and one is NDE63X image stock/unrooted). Here were my steps:
-> dePixel8 to unlock bootloader (because verizon edition pixel)
-> download NDE63X image from google and modified flash_all.sh to flash stock images to both slots manually
using the --slot _a/_b and --skip-secondary flags. Modified scripts below. At this point I confirmed that I could boot to both slots. I also verified bootloader lock/unlock again to make sure it was stock image on both slots
-> TWRP alpha2 to get recovery on both slots
-> with slot _b selected as active in TWRP, i installed the SuperSU v2.78 SR4 zip
-> with slot _a as active in TWRP, installed ElementalX-P-1.00 zip for the kernel patch to pass SafetyNet
voila, I now have non-rooted on slot _a and rooted on slot _b
Note that TWRP is not really a requirement for doing this. I had the same dual boot configuration working with SuperSU v2.78 SR3 rooting one slot directly. The only reason I needed TWRP is so that I can switch slots easily on the device and don't need a cable and a laptop just to switch the bootloader flag
Although, I got this to work it still falls short of what I really wanted to do. For my use-case I would really want an isolated userdata for the two slots so I can use the rooted slot as a complete sandbox. and then perhaps have a shared folder mechanism between the two. ...so if somebody has an idea on this, I'm all ears.
[UPDATE]: Note that the unrooted slot is still limited in the sense that safetynet checks fail and so AndroidPay etc.. that use that API will still not work. This, however, has little to do with the dual boot setup and more because SafetyNet now fails on just unlocked bootloader and we do need it unlocked. On Conchors' suggestion, I installed ElementalX kernel on slotA from TWRP and now my 'otherwise-stock' non-rooted image on slotA passes SafetyNet while slotB is successfully rooted
flash_all_slot-a.sh
Code:
fastboot flash --slot _a bootloader bootloader-sailfish-8996-012001-1608281716.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot flash --slot _a radio radio-sailfish-8996-012511-1609191801.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
#fastboot -w update image-sailfish-nde63x.zip
fastboot update --slot _a --skip-secondary image-sailfish-nde63x.zip
flash_all_slot-b.sh
Code:
fastboot flash --slot _b bootloader bootloader-sailfish-8996-012001-1608281716.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot flash --slot _b radio radio-sailfish-8996-012511-1609191801.img

sleep 5
#fastboot -w update image-sailfish-nde63x.zip
fastboot update --slot _b --skip-secondary image-sailfish-nde63x.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I switched it up a bit, and to be perfectly honest, the script is easier, this is just an alternate way of doing it
I did this for both slot_a and slot_b (not sure if it is needed for the flrst one, but that is what i did), both ways are correct, this way is much longer, but it gives some control, plus it's a nice learning process as it is pretty easy going.
If you are going to erase, erase first before you start anything, because you know...science.
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase vendor
the cache partition, i dont remember if this worked or not, I'm too tired to verify
Code:
fastboot flash --slot _b --skip-secondary bootloader "name-of-bootloader.img"
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash --slot _b --skip-secondary radio "name-of-radio.img"
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash --slot _b --skip-secondary system system.img
fastboot flash --slot _b --skip-secondary boot boot.img
fastboot flash --slot _b --skip-secondary vendor vendor.img
If you want to wipe everything, use the following commands next:
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot
system.img and userdata.img take time to flash— the command prompt appears to stop. Let it do it's thing, when it's done the cursor will begin blinking again.
All dual-booting credit goes to hucqym; again, not my idea.
Slightly Off Topic -
Has anyone tried this on a specific slot, does it make any difference?) I haven't actually even thought of this till now
something like:
Code:
fastboot erase --slot _(a/b) --skip-secondary userdata
fastboot flash --slot _(a/b) --skip-secondary userdata userdata.img[/B]

I was noticing quite a bit of space missing as well. what i did was boot into the slot I wanted as secondary (do this in TWRP), and i wiped just the system (which includes cache) and reflashed the system.img directly pulled from factory.zip. I noticed twice as much space had been gained then what was actually said to be there. I was a little surprised...it was over 5 gb I had gained while the system only said 2.5ish gb. (perhaps there was a second other_system.img wrapped up in it, I don't know. Then i went back to the primary slot and booted back up.
It's possible I got off course, I'm tired.

Resolution and happy ending detailed in answer below.
I've been running 7.1 since its release. I've had Elemental X as my kernel, with SuperSU as well.
Today, I tried using the adb sideload for the ota.zip to 7.1.1. My computer here at work was refusing to recognize my XL when in recovery via ADB - ADB works just fine when the phone is booted, and fastboot works as well. Tried reinstalling Google drivers, and a different ADB/fastboot setup, and this didn't fix the issue.
Okay, so then I decide I'll try flashing the relevant .img's from the 7.1.1 NMF26O factory image. I flashed bootloader, radio, system, system_other, modem, and boot. I then flashed EX's kernel (elex.Image) instead of using the .zip for TWRP. I then booted the SR3 boot-to-root.img since I do not want to install TWRP at this time.
I got the few typical reboots, and now my phone goes directly to recovery and states "no command." Then the phone reboots itself after about 30 seconds, and keeps on doing this.
I tried re-flashing just the factory image files that I previously mentioned, without flashing EX and without booting the SuperSU img. I am still getting the same problem. I do not want to try a flash-all.bat and erase all my userdata if I don't have to. But I also saw someone else post that they ran into this issue of hitting "no command" on boot, and couldn't even flash the full factory image because it tries to flash recovery.img which is not part of the factory image files - what in the actual ****, why would the .bat try to flash recovery if it isn't there?
Right now I am trying to re-flash 7.1's files to see if I can just get back onto 7.1 with my userdata intact... but if anyone can provide insight on how I ****ed this up (because in my opinion, I did everything right), I'd appreciate it.
Edit: Tried flashing 7.1's files, and same issue... ridiculous. Trying the flash-all.bat and a factory reset now for 7.1.1.
Edit 2: Tried the flash-all.bat, and it successfully flashes bootloader and radio. It tries sending the .zip with the rest of the .img's, and fails because of insufficient space. I formatted userdata and did a factory reset in recovery as well, and am still having this issue... going to try the Unified Toolkit next to see if it can save me. This is bull**** though. Never have I had a Google device go this ballistic and unable to be EASILY recovered with the factory image!
Same thing happened to me. I don't know how I fixed mine, if that makes sense, but do you know what boot slot your on? A or B? Also what command are you using to flash all the images.
Are you doing
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
or (x being the boot slot you are currently in)
Code:
fastboot flash boot_x boot.img
I chose this IMG as example. Nothing particular
I tried both. First was fastboot flash boot.img. Once I started having the recovery issue, I tried fastboot flash boot_a and boot_b with the factory images. I also just tried the flash-all.bat, and after it flashes the bootloader and radio, it says there is not enough space to send over the ~2 GB zip file with the other .img's to be flashed.
Using the Unified Toolkit with the factory image from Google worked. It does not use the flash-all.bat, and flashes each piece of the factory image with its own commands so there was no error relating to lack of storage space. Watching the flash commands go by, it appears my error may have been using "fastboot flash system system.img" because the Toolkit used "fastboot flash system_a system.img". I was using system_b for the system_other.img, but not system_a for system.img. NONE of the articles on the web relating to flashing the factory image for a Pixel/XL said anything about system_a, so they are likely using dated flash methods.
My phone is now alive.
This was also the LEAST PAINFUL factory reset I've ever done. Using the restore from cloud option during setup, and selecting my Pixel XL (last used today), it immediately restored my home screen layout (apps grayed out until downloaded), my texts are all back, and most app data is restored as well IF you allowed them to backup to Drive during your initial setup. I basically lost nothing but my time in doing all of this.
Thanks for sharing this! I will now use this tool from now on. Glad you were able to solve your problem
II am attempting to get back to full stock on my Pixel XL and I am okay with wiping it. I am coming from Rooted, TWRP, custom Kernel, and WETA Rom. I was having some issues with it acting up, and I want now to return to the full factory image. In order to do so, I attempted to run the flash-all.bat script from the Google page, and it seems as if all is going well, then, when it tries to flash the system.img, it fails and throws an error which says "FAILED (Remote: Partition [bootb] does not exist)" I have also tried flashing the factory image in pieces and get the same issue, and also when I try to do it through TWRP. I just want to go back to the way the phone came so I can start fresh. Any input on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Note: the same error goes when I try to flash-all on slot a.
What version of adb are you running?
Make sure you have 1.0.36. Ref post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2932160
Try manually flashing to partition _a or _b. Such as fastboot flash system_a system.img.
I ran into the same issue and was able to flash everything to slot a manually by adding _a to the commands

I think that worked! Do I need to flash anything besides boot, system, and vendor? There are a lot of .img files in this folder from google. Do I do them all or just these three? Also, do I need to flash the radio?
Odd that Google wouldn't update their flash-all script to deal with the two slot setup..

Right, you need to be on 1.0.36 for fastboot to "see" the partitions correctly. Refer to my initial comment for a download link.

I didn't flash any of the other stuff. Only boot, system, and vendor.
Not sure what causes the mismatch in names of the partitions.
Download the free Unified Toolkit. It works across a large number of Android devices. It takes the hassle out of a lot of ****, including this. It will flash the entire factory package by itself. I had to do this to fix my phone from a recovery bootloop after flash-all.bat failed me too.
So for starters. I was on the latest Android 11 rooted with magisk and LSposed along with GB.
I decided to sideload the Android 12 DP. So i floashed the stock boot image to both slots and then sideloaded 12DP. Everything went fine and i was testing A12. Tried to root A12 with magisk by the standard patch boot.img and fastboot flash to both slots. The phone hung on the bootscreen for like 10 minutes so i figured it best to flash back to A11. Back to BL mode and flashed theboot.img to both slots and then flash-all A11. Hit start when finished and it just flashed the white google screen for a few seconds then back to bootloader. Strange. Tried again, while changing active slots to ensure its flashing the system to both slots. Will not boot. Straight back to bootloader.
I can flash individual partions and i have no errors other than when wiping data it says it cant. Cant remeber exactly the error. But this is where it gets even more weird. I can flash android 9 and have no issues, I can take OTA updates with not issue. I can and am rooted and my phone is back to A11 via OTA. It will not boot if i flash or sideload any other version of Android other than A9. I believe this has something to do with encrytion. My phone was encrypted when i started this whole proccess and i believe thats why i get the error when trying to wipe data. In A9 recovery, when i factory data reset. it wipes with no errors. If i try to factory data reset in A10 or A11 Recovery i get the error E: can't send spi message: Try again .
So in closing, my phone is working and running fine but i can not flash-all any Android version other than A9 and have the phone boot.
So if anyone knows the proper steps to get this phone right, I would greatly appreciate it.
If not, i guess i will only be taking OTA's until i can figure it out.
Happy flashing!
Quick edit
Yes i pass safetynet and all banking apps work.
so is doing anything at all really necessary. I will leave that for the community to decide.
My opinion is, There is something wrong that needs fixing here. But its not crucial.

You may be onto something here.....thoughtts?
And i think i have fixed that part on my PC. This is now what i get. I had that all-in-one tool installed so it made my system wide fastboot/adb look at its program folder instead of my default installation folder. Thats uninstalled and all folders and registry keys associated with it and my system is looking at my android sdk installation folder as it should.
This may very well have been the issue. I haven't tried to flash anything yet as i'm a bit gun shy after this fiasco lol
Maybe i will try flash-all with -w removed to see what happens.

That may likely work now as one of my issues was my fastboot was the wrong version because of the all-in-one tool i had installed.

Thank you @wangdaning for suggesting checking my fastboot version! That lead me to see i had 2 version and was defaulting to the wrong version. Removing that version and fixing my system path in windows variables fixed my issues. It was fastboot version the whole time. Again thank you @wangdaning!!
Edit to thank all who replied to this thread. I used everyones ideas
Glad you got it working.
Had an 11.2.3.3 Global rooted via Magisk OP9 Pro that I wanted to update via OTA to 11.2.4.4, which was offered via system update. I used Magisk to restore images before update, did the update, and then went back to install to inactive slot. Rebooted and it was still on 11.2.3.3 so I tried again. Upon trying again, my phone got to a Qualcomm debug/error mode. I experienced this before when on a different boot slot for some other diagnosis of another issue in the past so I switched boot slots.
The other boot slot is stuck in fastboot mode I come to find so I check what it shows if I reverted back to the other boot slot, which was the Qualcomm error. Now instead of a Qualcomm error, it shows language options, one of which is English, and then gives me "boot reason", "wipe data and cache" and "advanced". I believe this is the OnePlus recovery menu, which I have not needed to use before and in the past, used TWRP on other devices.
Can't I just reflash a whole system image for 11.2.4.4 (it'd have to be the European one right now since Global isn't available) via fastboot and it should be fixed, albeit unrooted and I can just re-root? I'd like to try this, but there's no "flash-all.bat" and I don't know the proper flash order for the Euro images within payload.bin as there's no xml file (I looked up a guide for directions on how to flash without flash-all.bat that I have used on other devices). Oh, and I tried to fastboot a known good boot.img and on one of the slots, it works fine, but still wont boot. The other gives error "FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)". I'm stumped.
Wondering if this has been experienced by anyone else before. Wiping my device is the last resort and shall be avoided at all costs after how much I have configured it to my liking.

Just tried flashing the older 11.2.2.2 images one at a time and now it's stuck in recovery...
The closest I can get it to full booting is with 11.2.4.4 Europe full image and I get a black screen only, after it boots up with the OnePlus logo. When plugged in, I get a charging sound every 10-20 seconds or so. Too bad there's no 11.2.4.4 full image for Global or I'd try that.
Also just tried fastboot boot 11.2.4.4_global_boot.img on this 11.2.4.4 Europe image and still no go. Boots and makes sounds, but black screen still.

I was considering it, but don't want to lose any data. Next step is to contact OnePlus technical support during normal hours and see if they can work with me to resolve this one. I believe I read here on XDA that people have contacted them and usually are able to resolve the issue. Trying to avoid clearing data as the device is fine as it boots, but I think the Europe image is conflicting somewhere and not allowing me into the system since it boots all the way to the lock screen, but I don't see a lock screen, just a blank screen with sounds after boot seemingly working, along with charging sounds (albeit, sounding every 10-20s like its periodically charging).
This is so odd though because I did everything as I should've and update seemingly occurred, but system version still showed 11.2.3.3. So I go back to system update and it said there was an issue and to restart again. Did that two times with magisk revert image and restore to inactive and it then stopped booting.
If you're able to get to the recovery you can try sideloading the zip file
ADB Sideload name.zip
That should put the rom back to default, I would reboot the phone back into recovery and then do a wipe or go to fastboot and use "fastboot -w" to wipe the userdata

Does stock recovery support ADB? At 8 pro you needed modified one..

As far as I know, it should do as long as the drivers are installed properly, you can check with "ADB Devices", if you see the number returned then the phone is responding.
As for the fastboot commands above, I know there was a post on the OP7P forum that would make fastboot script packs for each build, if you use the script from those, you should able to amend it to flash the images above. Afaik the structure is likely the same anyway. The post also shows "ADB push" commands you can use to flash individual images to the phone.
I might have a look later and see if I can make a similar one although there seems to be a lot more build versions on the OP9P than there were for the OP7P.
Might just be easier to use the Payload Dumper program to unpack the images from the payload.bin file (instructions here) and then use a generic script to flash them to the phone, all the different models should have similar images although I do know there's an additional India.img for the Indian models (which I think is also shown in the global rom).

Just tried. ADB with stock recovery is "unauthorized"..So modified is needed if one wants to use stock recovery with adb

I tried flashing all of the 11.2.4.4 Europe full system image payload_dumper extracted images (such as boot.img, system.img, dtbo.img) to the phone and I get where I am now. It goes through boot, but no lock screen, just a non-lit/black screen with sounds that the phone is charging when plugged in and is recognized by the computer (but can't see internal storage since you have to use notification center to turn on usb storage).

See if you can do a fastboot -w to wipe the userdata in case it's been left with unusable data.

This is what I'm trying to avoid...
Since it mostly boots on the Euro 11.2.4.4, I feel that the Global full image would resolve this, but OnePlus never updates their darn website with the latest for Global.

There's a pinned post at the top of the forum with all the available latest roms. Not sure they've added Global yet tho. Best going there or Oxygen Updater (when the phone is working) than the download page tbh, OnePlus ALWAYS takes ages to add builds there

Not that I know of, but I have seen users use the Europe image to update their device on this forum before with the OP9Pro because they either didn't want to wait or needed to fix their device for whatever reason and the Europe version worked fine. So I don't know if this is different on 11.2.4.4.

I know that BA is coming first than AA. Dont know reason for that but with op8p situation was same. Then was talk about googles servers or something but cant remember what that was exactly because it never affected me..

I wish I could go without my phone for weeks until they post the latest firmware to see if that even works, but I can't so I guess I'll have to use the msm tool and wipe all of my internal storage of documents, including taxes, and various files and downloads I've amassed over the past half decade. This really sucks. All because of a simple OTA that should've never caused this. They really should prevent this from being possible with the OTA update tool built-in to their system.
I was on C.62 AA with a working Magisk.
Yesterday I tried to update to C.63 AA with following steps:
1. Disable all Magisk module and reboot.
2. Restore Stock Image from Magisk Manager.
3. Update to C.63 from System Settings menu.
4. Install Magisk to inactive slot, then reboot.
That's it.
After reboot, my OP9P starts, but can't get into lock screen. Instead it only show black screen with a nonstop vibration.
I didn't do backup since I was NOT expecting this to happen.
Now I'm desperate for any help to unbick it or at lease get my files in sdcard back.
I can go into bootloader and fastbootd mode. ANY help would be much appreciated.

Unfortunately the only thing that's going to get device up and going again is msm or factory reset. You could possibly get a boot without wiping if you have untouched boot images of build you were on but then you don't know which side it booted to. I'd factory reset . Or keep device dead. You will still have patched boot.img so just reinstall magisk manager after reset.

I do have untouched boot images(C.63 AA) from the other thread.
I did try to "fastboot boot boot.img", result the same -- black screen with a nonstop vibration.
I think something went wrong during the update process.
Maybe flashing a stock rom in fastboot mode will help, but I don't know how and I can't find any info about howto flash OxygenOS 12 in fastboot on OP9P.
what you can try is the c63 full rom via fastbootd with the tool Fastboot Enhance to flash
[TOOL][Windows] Fastboot Enhance [Payload Dumper & Image Flasher]
Fastboot Enhance What it can do? - Show fastboot vars - Switch between fastbootd & bootloader - Switch between A & B slot - Flash Payload.bin in fastbootd - Flash images - Erase partitions - Delete logical partitions - Create logical partitions...

but that will be difficult because there is no aa full rom (only india) since the update to c63 was only released globally as an incremental update

I guess I will just wait for AA full rom to come out.

The problem came up when you tried carrying root over. I've had issues as well . Make sure your on 25.2 magisk manager, disable all modules . Only uninstall magisk,restore images,start system update when finished don't reboot. Go into magisk install to inactive slot for ota. And reboot.
Just flash the full DA C.63 over it using FBE. Make sure you go to the partitions screen and search cow and delete all cow partitions before you flash or you will brick. This should at least enable you to get your files backed up so you can MSM.
Before that though, go to fastboot and try fastboot --getvar current-slot to find out what slot you're on. From there do fastboot --set-active=a or --set-active=b, whichever is not active currently. Fastboot reboot and see if your old OTA boots.

he can also see which slot is active directly with fbe because fbe shows this itself, just like he can change the slot with fbe

fastboot flash only flashes the active slot and does not switch to the inactive slot.. and fastboot boot only boots an image that you have specified

FBE's slot changer doesn't always work in my experience. Both times I tried it for the purposes of changing the slot to boot from, it didn't actually change the slot, but when I switched slots to choose which to install to, that worked correctly. I only tell people to use things I'm confident work correctly and I know fastboot slot switching is one of those things that does.

I also noticed that if you change the slot with fbe, the active slot is still displayed in fbe, but if you then reconnect the cell phone to the pc, fbe then shows that it has changed the slot

Sorry to hear that.
But you don't have to wait, since there is DA C.63 full rom.
Just flash it in fastboot mode by using Fastboot Enhance tool.
Good luck and tell us how it goes.
