I have aleready executed method 1 and 2 ( without How to Prevent Data Wipe in Method 2​) and everything is working properly until I perform Step 14, when I try to flash via adb sideload latest OXYGEN OS it always stops after 47%. (Installation failed).
I have also tried fastboot method:

You are trying to flash TWRP with a locked bootloader and it obviously fails. Download the full official ROM from OnePlus site and the corresponding recovery also. First flash the recovery and reboot to bootloader and then flash the OS and reboot. If you are successful, you can enable Developer Options and from there OEM unlock and USB debugging. Thereafter you can try TWRP, Magisk and other ROMs.

Hmm, I thought he said he can enter bootloader and recovery. If so, reboot the phone in stock recovery and flash full Rom from local update.

NO.
So that is where you are committing a mistake. You have not been reading the posts carefully.
All of us are asking you to download the STOCK recovery compatible with the version of the stock ROM chosen by you and to FLASH THE STOCK RECOVERY FIRST, NOT TWRP.
Because TWRP can't be flashed with a locked bootloader whereas the stock recovery can be flashed from bootloader. Then go for the ROM, sideload it using adb and boot.

Oh i see now where can i find the lastest recovery and by how i need to flash it, in adb sideload (recovery.img) or fastboot flash recovery (oneplus recovery.img)?

Do you have the latest adb downloaded from Google?
Also, there is no recovery partition any longer, it's built in to the boot partition.
You can try the command "fastboot boot TWRP.img" to boot to TWRP.

I'm not entirely sure what the issue is (it could be a couple of things), but here are some issues that I see to help you troubleshoot:
1. Adb commands don't work in bootloader mode, only fastboot commands, which is why your device is visible to fastboot and not adb.
2. The file that you tried to adb sideload was a factory image, not an OTA. Adb sideload can only be used with OTA images. And even if you were using an OTA image, OTA images cannot be used to downgrade to a previous firmware version.
3. The latest version of adb is 1.0.39. You are using an older version. That fact itself doesn't really matter since adb will not help you in this situation, but fastboot will and if your adb is obsolete, I'd be willing to bet that your fastboot is too. Pixel 2 support was added in the October 2017 release of adb and fastboot. If yours is older than that, you're gonna have a bad time.
4. "Unable to open 'image-taimen-opd1.170816.025.zip': No such file or directory." Fastboot can't find your firmware files. Try placing the entire contents of the factory image, including the .zip file listed here, into the same directory as fastboot.exe (based on your post, it seems like the folder you want is C:\adb). Then rerun flash-all.bat. The script is assuming that fastboot.exe and all of the firmware files are in the same folder and if they're not, that could be a problem.
5. You do not have driver issues. The fact that fastboot devices worked means that your drivers/connection are/is working fine.
PS: Get the latest adb and fastboot here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
UPDATE: I did a Google search for adb/fastboot version eac51f2bb6a8-android. I found a reference to it in a forum post dated mid-2016. There's your problem. Or one of them, anyway. If you do adb --version or fastboot --version on the latest releases, they will tell you that they are version 0.0.1-4500957.

Hmm. Fastboot is definitely having issues communicating with your phone. "Failed to identify current slot" is a bad sign. If I were you, I would try flashing the most recent factory image (not the November 8.0 image you're trying to flash) first just to see if you can get everything up to date again and clear out any mismatched files that may have been flashed during your attempts. Once you manage that, then try to downgrade. If you can, try a different computer too, preferably one with a type C input that you can use the stock USB cable with.

The fact that he's not getting "not found" errors means that all the expected files are found by fastboot.

Thanks man. I learned something new today :good:
Wonder if his transfer cable. I've seen that cause headaches as well ?

It was definitely an issue between my laptop and my phone. I was able to easily use flash-all.bat on a different computer.
I really appreciate both of your help! I was stressed out.

EDIT:
It worked, i changed to my laptop(win 10). I used a git bash(random used this), no usb devices are connected and no internet.
Just typed .\fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp.img
It worked
Warning: Only reboot to Recovery and install the .img with the "temporary" again, if you don't Xiaomi will place it's own bootloader again there.

[Help] Pixel 3 xl stuck in twrp

i have unlocked bootloader, fastboot mode on and can boot into recovery just fine. If i just let it 'boot' it boots into twrp automatically. From twrp i try to sideload, but adb does not recognize there being anything connected (adb devices returns empty) and adb sideload fails. Im on windows 10.
Update: solved. I had to run the command window and admin and it flashed just fine. Thanks spotmark!

Download whatever build you're on and extract the boot image. Then fastboot flash the boot image.

Plz read line #1 on post #1 for twrp . . . ( hint ) it'll tell you that the twrp team has "not" yet got adb sideload working. . We all have to be patient !
.
And the good News is . . . if you use the usb-C adapter in the box and plug in a usb-A thumb drive into the pixel when running twrp . . . . you can see and grab stuff off that thumb drive. . . . . it worked for me 1

You need to flash the boot.img not the bootloader.

The System has been destroyed - only fastboot possible

Hello,
I bricked my Redmi Note 8T and I have no idea how to save my phone!
What did I do?
I unlocked my phone with XiaomiTool V2 and added Magisk, installed TWRP and trieed to add LineageOS.
So I tried to restart but the system stocked in a "boot - shutdown - boot - shutdown..."
I read in a description, that I have to delete in TWRP-mode some folders in WIPE so I deleted "System", "Data", "Cache", and maybe some other folders! I'm so stupid!
So there is only "The System has been destroyed", after around 30 seconds the system starts again and the bad massage comes again...
It is just possible to start the fastboot mode!
So I tried again to flash and boot TWRP:
sudo fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
target reported max download size of 804274176 bytes
sending 'recovery' (65536 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.617s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.349s]
finished. total time: 1.967s
sudo fastboot boot twrp.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.615s]
booting...
FAILED (status read failed (No such device))
finished. total time: 37.120s
Afterwards the system says again "The System has been destroyed".
So now I don't have any idea to save my phone!
Please help me! I trust in you!
My OS on the PC is Ubuntu for your information...
Best wishes

Doesn't sound so bad. And of you had searched the forum before panic posting, you would have easily found at least 3 similar threads already started.
Not knowing what you had wiped from twrp before, leaves the best option for you is to flash the factory fastboot ROM, and then start over.
There is a thread here about fastboot ROM i beleive.

in fastboot rom there must be a file vbmeta.img....if you don't want to download the fastboot rom then download vbmeta.img from here or here..
then download latest platform tools.
extract the plaform tools zip...copy vbmeta.img in this folder,open cmd/terminal in this folder path and flash vbmeta with phone in fastboot mode by this command:
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
after this flash recovery.

Thank you for your fast answers! I tried already the search function but it seemed to me beeing different problems!

I tried it with the vbmeta.img from the fastboot Redmi Note 8 – Global Stable ROM (V11.0.9.0.PCOMIXM | MIUI 11 | Android 9.0) and the platform-tools for linux from xiaomifirmware.com.
sudo fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
< waiting for any device >
On the phone then is "Press any key to shutdown"
After trying again I got:
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'vbmeta' (4 KB)...
But then nothing happens...
What is wrong?

Is it working now? Why don't you try flashing the stock firmware again?

It worked, I installed the Stock recovery and then TWRP (all with fastboot) and so it was possible for me to install LineageOS!
Thank you very much for your support!
