Oneplus 5T root problem - OnePlus 5T Questions & Answers

Hello all If any one can help me ,
I was rooted running rooted stock oxygen os before on my Oneplus 5T
after flashing Oxygen OS 5.1.4 Full Zip my phone is not rooting it gets in initial oneplus logo and freeze there without loading OS
Phone is working fine after Flashing Oxygen OS 5.1.4 Full Zip without any issue its not booting after flashing either SuperSu or Magisk
Steps which I follow are
1 Flash custom recovery I have tried both Codeworkx TWRP | Blu_Spark
2 after flashing recovery boot in to recovery flash Supersu or magisk
3 reboot
when I reboot if i Flash supersu it stuck on oneplus logo, If i flash magisk it reboot itself to fastboot so Os is not loading at all.
I have to flash full Zip again every time to get it working but then I dont have root access.
I have tried at least 10 times with different even old versions of magisk and supersu with out any success.
Is there any particular recovery or different version of magisk or superuse I need to flash?
your help will be really appreciated.

Try a different approach. Instead of installing recovery, just get phone rooted first. There is a way where you can boot into twrp (without installing it), and then flash magisk/supersu zip. If your phone is rooted, then you can install twrp later (or keep oem recovery)
This is how you boot into twrp (or any recovery): fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
Let me know how it goes.

As you said boot to recovery without installing it.
One problem currently I am installing recovery and flashing root. After that phone is not booting up in to OS it stuck on oneplus logo. Then I have to force off phone boot in to recovery and flash full os zip to get it working. I can boot in to TWRP because my os didn't load. Now if I use your method and flash root file and if phone won't boot to os that means I won't be able to boot in to TWRP again to flash full os zip to get phone working atleast without root. Any idea?

Huh, frankly I have no idea why you are facing this menace. I can just give two suggestions.
1. Try with older, more stable versions of TWRP and Magisk
2. Get yourself a custom ROM, most ROM's will work flawlessly after flashing root files
Hope for the best!

I usually switch from OpenBeta to LOS and back again. Here's how I switch back to OpenBeta (steps should work for official OOS):
1) Back everything on internal storage up. This one's important
2) Boot into official OOS recovery
3) Wipe EVERYTHING (this is why you need to follow Step 1)
4) Sideload the version of OOS you want. The instructions will be right there on the recovery screen
5) Boot into Fastboot and flash TWRP
6) Flash Magisk and (optional) Xposed

how does this dang phone work?!

... with respects to recovery and flashing. Just picked up this one about 2 hours ago. I used the unified tool kit, am rooted and running RR... But I can only boot into CM recovery. Any attempts to flash (using toolkit to boot to TWRP) SuperSU, or ARISE, or whatever, don't do anything.
What's the trick
Well usually you got to flash the rom, flash twrp. Then reboot back to twrp, for flashing extra packages. Usually after ROM + TWRP, I like booting into OS and setting things up and then going to twrp to flash root.
But your problem is very simple to solve. Just flash twrp recovery from bootloader using "fastboot boot ' twrp image name ' ". Then reflash the rom and twrp. Then boot into the os. Then go back into twrp to root and flash arise sounds or what not. I am running RR with no issues and arise sounds is working no issues.
Thank you. I'm booting into TWRP now just fine, but flashing SuperSU and ARISE don't work,.. Or at least, the apps don't show up as they should
edit: update
used the supersu SR3 version and now everything is normal
cheers

Tried flashing Lineage OS but ended up stuck in a boot loop.

I unlocked the bootloader following Motorolas steps. I then flashed the latest version of TWRP avaiable on the development forum and then flashed Lineage OS + the root zip they provide and gapps. I couldn't figure out how to get out of the bootloop so I've since gone back to stock. Any idea what I was missing?
TWRP:

Lineage:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-14-1-t3495644
Did you read the notices and entries on the Linage last pages of the thread that people are having it fail on the install, the latest release? That would be a clue...
I even tried flashing Pure Nexus but that too was stuck on a loop. I left it for about 10 minutes as it was loading. :/
I did the same thing like you on my first attempt, on my second I was able to install Lineage OS successfully. I'll provide the steps I did.
First attempt steps:
1. Unlocking the bootloader using Motorola website
2. Installing TWRP from the same link in your post.
At that point I tried booting the phone, but the phone was booting to TWRP only, tried wiping, format data from TWRP with no luck.
3. From TWRP flashed Lineage OS zip file and GAPPS nano package (the latest version of TWRP is able to see SD card).
At that point I was able to to boot LOS only after executing "fastboot erase user data". Doing the same from within TWRP was not doing the job. The problem was that after each reboot the phone was getting into bootloop again and "fastboot erase userdata" was necessary.
4. At that point I noticed that TWRP thread starts with warning that you have to install a patcher to disable this "verity" feature of the bootloader may be. And I installed the patcher "Verity_FE_patcher.zip"
The patcher didn't fix the issue and went back to stock Nougat using the guide below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/how-to/moto-z-play-reteu-firmware-otas-t3557917
First I tried "flashall.bat" , but it didn't wor.k and I flashed all the files manually using the guide . The phone booted normally and I updated it with one OTA update.
Second attempt steps:
1. I wanted to install the verity patcher before anything else and I boot TWRP 3.1.0.1 without flashing it. It booted normally and I realized that the SD card was formated and the patcher zip file is not there. I reboot the system and the phone got in bootloops again even the TWRP was not installed. I coppied the patcher zip, LOS zip, GAPPS zip on SD card . I tried to boot (without flashing) TWRP again, but for some reason TWRP was not able to boot.
2. I flashed TWRP
3. Booted TWRP and flashed verity patcher.
4. Wiped from TWRP and boot the system
At that point I was able to boot the stock firmware with TWRP installed and I was able to restart the phone normally.
5. Flashed LOS and nano GAPPS
Now everything seems to work properly.
Hope this will help.
Thanks. I'll give this a shot tonight. Our first attempts sound very alike.

[SOLVED] HELP! i'm stuck in a boot loop! :(

my flashing history:
i was on audax (oos based nougat rom) with blu spark kernel before, then went to official ob1, then back to audax, then back to stock oos nougat and now i flashed audax and after clean flashing it, it just wont boot up.
when i try to boot up i see the 1+ logo but then it reboots to recovery. i also tried flashing stock nougat again and also flashed stock kernel manually but it also doesnt work.
i always do:
1. wipe system/dalvic/cache/data
2. install ROM
3. wipe dalvik/cache
4. flash magisk (also tried without flashing magisk)
5. reboot
i've been looking on the interwebs all day but nothing worked.. help pls :/
EDIT: problem was blu spark twrp. Maybe installing Oreo ****ed it up. I flashed codeworkx newest twrp universal build and now Im able to boot again!! Btw: I also found that magisk 15.0 prohibits a proper boot up and results in a boot loop. version 15.2, however, does the trick!
when it auto reboot to recovery, formate data
When s**t happens, it is wise to start everything from scratch:
-boot in fastboot mode and flash stock recovery with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (rename recovery.img with your recovery filename), then reboot recovery and select english, advanced, adb sideload;
-flash stock OS with "adb sideload rom.zip" (rename rom.zip with your Oxygen OS filename).
Procedure will require some minute because of the large file size. Remember to save all your data on internal storage first!
I advice you to flash original recovery because often sideloading in TWRP leads to some error.
Your phone will boot again... after that you may reflash TWRP, Magisk etc
I had the same issue. Bootloop and jumb into recovery by itself. You have to flash magisk 15.2 via recovery and will be boot.

He says that it occurs even without Magisk... I had a similar trouble once, and the only way to solve it was the procedure I wrote above...
I dont know if you can boot it w/o root

Why not? Stock OS is not rooted.

Help!! My Pixel 2 XL is stuck in the bootloader!

Hello, I was just trying to install a custom ROM (Resurrection Remix) on my phone, but now I can't get out of the bootloader.
The steps I took were:
Install TWRP
Root with Magisk (for Titanium Backup)
Factory Reset in TWRP
Flash the RR rom zip file
and now when I turn my phone on, it goes through the bootloader unlock notice and the Google screen, but then it just goes into the bootloader.
I tried going into LineageOS recovery and doing an OEM sideload, but when I go into Apply Update --> Apply from ADB, on my computer, adb devices shows nothing.
Someone please help me.

So fastboot should work. You can always flash the stock ROM first and continue from there.
Instructions: https://developers.google.com/android/images
Try the following,
Go back to stock
Boot twrp
Swipe to factory reset in twrp
Flash RR ROM zip
Flash TWRP zip
Boot to system (it should go to OS)
reboot back to TWRP
Flash custom kernel (optional)
Flash Magisk for root
Boot back to system

Trouble rooting with magisk

I Have difficulties rooting my Z1 compact (amami).
My goal is to have stock rom, rooted with Magisk.
Steps I took:
1. Unlocked the bootloader (manufacturer way)
2. Flashed latest stock rom
3. Booted, installed Magisk manager, downloaded magisk.zip and enabled USB debugging
4. Flashed TWRP through ADB
5. Booted into TWRP, tried to install the zip, I get an error “unsupported image format”
6. If I reboot after faliure, I can’t get into stock rom anymore (just black backlit screen), so I have to reflash stock rom again.
I have tried different versions of TWRP, Magisk, and tried rezipping magisk.zip.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Same issue here. Will let you know how I solve it.
Edit: My solution, might not be 100% what you were after, but this is good for me:
Reflash stock rom 236 LP with EMMA
Flash kernel v18.1 from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/so...rnel-advanced-14-5-0-242-kernel-v1-0-t3096060 (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
Enter rom and adb reboot recovery (power + voldown didn't work)
Flash Supersu zip
Flash debloater zip from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...p-debloat-lp-690-correct-functioning-t3076161
This nets me a debloated stock 5.1.1 install with root and busybox, all I need. I could never get fastboot flash recovery to boot any rom after flashing from recovery, so after a lot of struggle I'm happy this way.
If Magisk is a must, I would try the method described here https://forum.xda-developers.com/so...m-unrooted-t3682932/post76105039#post76105039
