How the hell do you resotre from bootloops without a full firehose restore? FFS - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

I've been on OOS A11 stable for a while. I could flash modules, kernels, whatever, left and right no problems. Straight from Ex kernel manager, from fastboot, from whatever.
So I end up doing a full restore for something I was testing. Unlock bootloader again, blah blah all that stupid noise
Any time i touch the boot.img, the whole system goes to crap and stays stuck on animation bootloop.
if i try to boot the magisk patched boot.img its fine. i then proceed to flash it, its still fine. this is the only thing that will either boot or flash... the first time
now, if i try to flash any damned other friggin thing, it takes a crap. try to boot original boot.img? nope, flash it? nope. flash slot_a, slot_b slotless, change slot? no. boot or flash the same exact patched boot you had? no. only full firehose reset.
how the hell do you actually recover this garbage bootloop crap without full reload. something is corrupting the ramdisk?
i am so sick of Android 10 and 11 and SAR bullcrap.
please excuse my rage. its been constant full wipes and data restores FOR SOMETHING SO SIMPLE AS THE DAMNED BOOT.IMG. good forbid you boot a stock kernel .
please understand, this is not from a mod,. or any module, or magisk rom. full clean wipe and install. its been about 9 hours of wipes and testing. not an end user

1st remove that swear word before a mod sees it, I can see you're frustrated but there's no need for that, people don't owe you here, they help out of the good of their hearts, nothing more.
2nd be very specific, what are you trying to flash? Sounds like you've been flashing a lot which in itself will eventually become a problem, think of it like filling a glass of water a little each time you do.
Run the remove magisk modules command from adb during boot.
I have the commands in my root/payload thread in guides.
If you've flashed a dodgy kernel or boot img then that's all you need to repair, no need for a full restore.
Fish the stock boot img then follow the below, after that you can flash what you like, just pick one and stick with it.
Here's the command and process
1. Connect your phone to your computer.
2. Reboot the phone, then during the boot animation enter this command via ADB.
adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules

yes ill look through the OP and clean up swears.
i cant adb because it doesnt boot... the issue is not magisk modules. this is a clean install. always is a clean install.
i am not an end-user, those basic steps would have been done already, thank you
the issue is, the somehow, upong flashing anything other than one specific modified boot.img, the system takes a crap. and then, no other boot.img will boot, including the stock one, or the very boot.img it was on. this is again, on a clean full data and system wipe, and full clean install with the mdm tool. no modules

Then you have your answer. The boot img is crap.
How are you flashing it and why are you flashing it?
Boot it then directly install with the correct canary version of magisk.
Run the command anyway, it does clear up a lot of crap, won't hurt.
Plus you don't need to be able to boot to run it, you need to be able to be in the boot process (bootloop animation)
Where did you obtain the patched boot img?

friend, please see below. again, i can see that you are under the assumption that i am doing basic noob things...
i am pulling my boot.img, and running it in magisk. patch in magsk. fastboot boot bootpached.img, it works. fastboot flash boot bootpatched.img. it works. reboot. still boots.
flash anything else, and death. if i flash from fkm, exkm, fastboot, always the same. if i try radioactive, blu, elemental, always the same. if i flash back the original boot.img that i pulled, it does not revive, same boot loop (without any system, and thus no adb). if i flash the same bootpatched.img, same thing.
is magisk beta branch not yet supported? it may be that i have been using beta instead of canary... but i remember reading beta branch supporting 11.\
i dont know how else to express to you A. i am not a normal end-user, and B. there is no system boot, and thus there cannot be an ADB...

They both support 11.
You keep saying flash, im suggesting you boot, not flash.
Fastboot boot "name of boot.img"
How big is the boot img? What model device to you have?
Also when you do flash are you flashing to both slots??
Also its not a case of being a noob, there's only a certain amount of things you can do.

hi. look. i appreciate you trying to help... but you are not reading my replies. i have coutnless times explained that yes i am running fastboot BOOT ... i ALSO (meaning in addition AFTER failing a boot) do attempt a fastboot FLASH boot.
again, i thank you for your attempt at helping, but you are dismissing everything i say. i see that you help a lot of people with this basic information, but understand, it is not applicable to this case. thanks anyway

It's your boot img and or the way you're flashing it / booting it.
I'm done with your attitude.
Good luck.
PS I've been in bootloops for the same reason and it's worked for me..

i think this is solved. something was bugging the database i am working on. was not boot.img related at all, it is SAR in the end. this is why even after flashing stock boot.img it would do nothing, because it was a /system issue with the something deprecated or not yet ready for SAR/a10-11

If you wiped then how could SAR have affected it?
If it's in system then it wouldn't have.
Again!!! Be specific. You left that part out.

Your device is corrupt. It cant be trusted and may not work properly. FIXED!

*** NOTE: Please excuse my English.
*** WARNING: I'm not responsible if anything happens to your device, I'm just sharing my experience and what I did to fix my own phone. Proceed at your own RISK.
I bought my Nexus 6p 64gb and as soon as I took it out of the box, I went directly and followed the guide here. So i unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP as a custom recovery, flashed CM13 + OpenGapps.
I noticed that every time I boot my device I get this warning:
Your device is corrupt. It can’t be
trusted and may not work properly.
Visit this link on another device:
go.co/ABH
and it does not seem to be a normal warning because when my OS boots up it shows me this
"Android system:
There’s an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details"
Later on when I updated to the latest nightly image my camera crashes and doesn't function properly. I also already has an issue with Bluetooth and "Bluetooth share" crashing but that was unrelated. Anyways I was crippled in my day to day usage. Then I thought that I need to fix this asap because it might cause performance/security/hardware problems in the future.
So basically the fix is you should flash the latest bootloader image and radio image. Personally I wanted to start clean and make sure I have no corrupted files so here is what I did,
1. What i did is erase all boot, system, kernel & recovery files by typing the below command using fastboot just incase they were corrupted,
(Note: YOU DONT NEED TO DO THIS STEP, but i prefer starting clean incase i had some corrupted files. YOU WILL ALSO LOSE ENCRYPTION DOING THE FIRST STEP)
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
Source: http://devs-lab.com/...i-nexus-6p.html
2. Then i flashed the latest factory images in this sequence using fastboot, which can be found here: https://developers.g...s/images#angler
(Note: 6.0.1 (MMB29M) was latest image at the time i did this. For people who are doing this for the first time, then you just need to download the image then extract the needed files from it)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xxx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot format userdata
fastboot reboot
Source: http://forum.xda-dev...operly-t3268407
3. From there i reflashed TWRP using fastboot, then flashed the latest beta SuperSU v2.62 at the time, and then CM13, then OpenGapps, then again reflashed SuperSU v2.62 just incase, lol. (Do not flash the version of SuperSU that TWRP offers to flash for you in order to give you root, it is not compatible and will cause problems. When using TWRP before you've actually flashed SuperSU 2.50+, when you attempt to reboot out of TWRP it will tell you that it's detecting that you don't have root and it will offer to root for you, skip past this.)
What got fixed ?
-FIXED, this won't show up anymore:
Your device is corrupt. It can’t be
trusted and may not work properly.
Visit this link on another device:
go.co/ABH
-FIXED, this won't show up anymore:
Android system:
There’s an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details.
-FIXED, Camera is working !
-NOT FIXED, "Bluetooth share" still crashes but I think its unrelated to this issue.
Hope this helps everyone as it helped me, thanks.

Followed your guide, thanks, but the message "Your device is corrupt. It can’t betrusted and may not work properly." still appears during a CM boot.
The message "There’s an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details" appears when I boot into recovery (TWRP)
The camera is working now.
Also, before I was able to flash CM-13 I had to do "WIPE >> Format Data" from TWRP, otherwise CM was exiting with error 7.
The following packages were used:
original 6.0.1 (MMB29P) factory image
BETA-SuperSU-v2.66-20160103015024.zip
cm-13.0-20160115-NIGHTLY-angler.zip
open_gapps-arm64-6.0-micro-20160115.zip
twrp-2.8.7.2-angler.img
I also noticed that when rebooting into factory image, the same warning message appears as well.
Any way to fix it or did I do something wrong?
Why are people trying to fix an non issue? To get rid of the message you need to relock the bootloader which is more of a risk if your rooted. Its a message that only appears for a few seconds when you reboot and you don't need to do anything to get past it.
There is no corruption and the phone is trusted by YOU as you unlocked it and nothing else cares. Where is the issue?

Thanks. I read it in the original Heisenberg's unlock guide and was surprised when I read this post that it was possible to get rid of the warning message without locking the bootloader .
I'm new here in the forum's..I usually just read and carry on..the one think I'd like to say is..I don't understand why people got to say 'why you doing that for, ya don't need to' far as I know..this an educational site to learn..if he wants learn how to get rid of the warning..I don't see any problems in that whatsoever.
The message "There is an internal problem with your device..." seems to be related to the security patch version. This was my biggest issue, the message I get when booting the phone was annoying and I knew it was not a big deal, but having an internal problem warning was concerning, flashing the vendor image was the solution for me. But if you like to start clean then I have the steps written, but if you update then again you'll get the warning when booting up.

I think what people are trying to say is the risk/reward for getting rid of the message is not worth it. Especially since its just a brief warning you only see during boot. Just flashing twrp recovery will give the red message. SuperSU will help get rid of it which is why the OP was able to remedy it. It will not work for everyone though. Modifying the bootloader is the only sure fire way to snuff it out for good and you would be a fool to try and mess with your bootloader for something aesthetic. That's how most real bricks happen, is when a bootloader gets corrupted.

Basically just flash SuperSU last in whatever sequence, and as long as it boots,the red message will be gone. But change anything after and it will probably come back. I have nothing negative to say about this thread. I originally posted the nexus link just so people can rest assured that it is not an actual problem and a normal, albeit annoying, side effect of modifying the Nexus 6p. Happy Flashing

Systemless unless you want to use xposed otherwise it doesn't matter. Systemless just makes it so you can use root apps like android pay. I use the 2.66 systemless. The instructions are a little all over the place on that thread. You no longer need a modified boot.IMG. the SuperSU zip patches whatever boot.IMG you have. So all you need to flash is the supersu2.66 for systemless or the traditional zip if going that route.

PLEASE HELP!!! Phone stuck in bootloop, will not boot. Will not boot into recovery.

I've had my Moto X Pure for over a few months now. After rooting it, i installed TWRP 3.0.2 and have had different roms and not come across any problems regarding a hard brick. I was using my phone on the CM 13 Rom, and it was bugging out, so i tried to reboot. After trying to reboot, it would come to the WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED SCREEN and not boot past that, let alone get into the actual loading screen. Now, i cant boot into twrp. When i try to enter recovery mode, it goes to the TWRP screen, and sits there without proceeding. I cant boot the phone, or boot into recovery. I can only boot into the bootloader. ANY AND EVERY ADVICE IS APPRECIATED THANK YOU!!!
Edit: I fixed it. had to manually extract and reflash some files from a very useful restore to stock tool.

Can you get it into fastboot mode? If you can, it sounds like somehow the recovery is corrupt and you would need to use 'fastboot erase recovery' first, and then 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' (using the twrp .img flashable file of course)
I hope that does the trick. Only think I can think of other than that is look for the automated return to stock tool for the moto x 2015 and use that.
thanks

Can you tell us what fixed it? Do you know if it was firmware related? Was it the recovery? I have multiple people on this device all on custom software, always interested to find the cause of these types of issues for future reference. And most importantly, glad you got it resolved!

I honestly have no idea what the problem was. But i downloaded and used someones lollipop restore to stock tool, literally restoring to the original state you got the phone in, and it worked. I believe it had something to do with the rom, and possibly some xposed modules i had installed, but there was nothing that actually messed around with the phone's system files. I couldn't access recovery in anyway whatsoever, but my advice to you is that if you ever need help because the phone is potentially hard-bricked, see if it connects to PC and if it does use the restore to stock tool.

Were you on marshmallow before you used the restore to stock tool? I thought downgrading android versions was a no-no currently.

It's possible, through tools like this. I don't know too much of the topic.

Nothing it just vibrates as soon as i hit factory reset then bootloops now it wont even go into recovery just fastboot screen but cant get fastboot to work at all and have all drivers android studio etc. Nothing will work need a new solution
It was hash kernel it corrupted all 64 gigs of storage and music etc. Had to return to stock via auto flash firmware.
Mine is XT1572 device. Since the mentioned tool was not available for this model, I took the chance with XT1575 tool. It did all the steps but the issue has become worse. Now, my device is automatically getting On and OFF in seconds and does not boot beyond the bootloader 'unlocked' warning screen. Please please please help !!!!

Return to Stock? (B20_Boot)

Not that I want to, but if I wanted to.. Is there a way to return the unlocked bootloader version back to stock to where I can receive OTA's?
Like I said, I don't necessarily want to, but if I needed to for some reason.

I've been flashing custom ROM's for several years, but I've bricked one too many phones over the years "not knowing" the correct way to do certain things... So I started this thread to see what those steps were because I'm too scared to attempt it myself. :silly:
So, I know I'd appreciate your efforts in this!

P. S. Any way to use terminal or adb to pull the partition list with their Extension?
Like for sample. " ext4 system /dev/block/sde13 " or something similar with extension?
Has anyone got a step-by-step for this yet? I searched, but don't see a "Back to Stock" thread

i created a Thread for users who have run into the No Boot issues and those problems , so i can gather more info of the causes of their problems but nobody had reply yet,
just waiting so i can test things and get back to Stock B20 with Root + TWRP and lock bootloader
It is still not clear where the unlock bootloader state is recorder. I have checked a couple of partitions but they are identical to locked B20 (aboot, devinfo were my prime suspects)
So assuming that this is not a permanent thing for the bootloader state and can be reversed, steps would be something like this
1. lock bootloader
2a. flash Stock B20 image and signed(tenfars) TWRP via axon7root
3. Reboot in TWRP (read only mode), full factory wipe (wipe plus /data format), flash original system image via twrp, wipe data again
4. turn off phone, don't reboot (no system start)
5. flash stock recovery via axon7root
6. Reboot to Stock Recovery direct (do not boot)
7. Factory reset from stock recovery
8. Reboot
But there are a few unknowns yet, even with stock system, boot and recovery we still have stuck loops unless using modded boot. My guess is that TWRP mods /system on exit, that's why i put read only mode but not sure if you can restore it if it's not rw. Since it's image to device it should work, RW is for mounting partition
And big one is if unlock state is permanent or not, not sure anyone tried yet

Gottcha.... I was just curious, because I'm starting to have a few random issues (reboots, apps opening without tapping them, google voice commands not working like they did just a few days ago) I'd like to get back to stock and maybe start over. Of course, I didn't make a backup up until after I flashed SuperSU and my apps downloaded so I have no "stock" TWRP backup. **But, this all could be "theme" related too, since I'm running a dark theme that isn't quite compatible with the A7 yet.
I may try removing the theme and let it run a day or two and see how it does?

Stuck On bootanimation

No matter what custom firmware i flash it always is stuck on the boot animation, Ive left it booting for 5 hours today and it never reached the setup screen, just constant booting, I erase EVERYTHING everytime I go to twrp, except for my internal and external storage. Aswell as If i flash/restore my stock rooted and unrooted firmware, it does boot, but NO wifi or data works, even with the removal and reinsertion of the simcard. Please help. If i didnt explain it well enough i can reply and add more detail.

One thing to try is formatting the internal storage to make sure you have a clean start. TWRP wipes /data without wiping userdata by default; to completely wipe the internal storage you have to go into the format data wipe where you must type "yes" to confirm instead of a slider. Sometimes leftover files can cause permissions problems and roms fail to boot. It is more common on other phones than this one, but I've seen some people report your problem before here too.
If you do this, obviously make sure you back up all the files you care about on internal storage to a microSD or off device. Also make sure you have rom/gapps to flash and a working TWRP backup stored on a microSD, or you've verified you can USB copy with MTP or adb push files from a computer to your phone before formatting. Don't find out after wiping and formatting that your computer is missing something it needs to copy files to your phone properly when your phone is booted into TWRP, test it first if you're going this route. Otherwise you could be stuck with a blank phone and nothing to flash on it.
I do this every once in a while just to keep internal storage from getting too cluttered from chronic flashing; just be careful about how you go about it.
Okay, I can try that.

TWRP 3.1 is out. I doubt that's your problem since you're flashing successfully and failing to boot, but updating recovery is something else to check off the list.
Are you on the L or M bootloader? It changed. Just looking for anything that might be causing the trouble.
Code:
getprop ro.bootloader
returns 0xA04C for me, and aicp is working good.

Fastboot says what bootloader version you're on close to the little reclining robot, but I think it displays it a bit differently. A0.4C trailed by a date if I recall correctly.
You could enter that command in TWRP's built-in terminal. I think the terminal is under the Advanced menu. That should get you the same output.

How do I update my 6T rooted without erasing datas?

Dear all,
first of all I would like to be sorry if I'm saying something worng. I'm not so expert about Android world.
I've got a OnePlus 6T that I've rooted with the help of a friend some months ago.
Not it's a lot that I keep see the notification abount the OS update and I keep skipping it but it's bothering me so... I searched for a guide and I found this (https://oneplus.gadgethacks.com/how...thout-losing-root-no-computer-needed-0192638/) (I hope I can post it also if it's from another website).
It seems so simple, I've downloaded the OTA update, the TWRP and the Magisk. My issue is that whene I reboot to the recovery I'm not booting into TWRP but I suppose into the OnePlus recovery instead.
I searched angain and found this other guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/official-oxygenos-9-0-4-ota-oneplus-6t-t3860953) that is more complete but I can't understand if it's the proper guide I need to follow to update my device keeping it rooted and most of all without loosing any data.
Thanks,
Riki
The first guide you linked to is wrong. Do not follow that. That is why you don't have TWRP anymore. The second guide you linked to on XDA is correct. Follow the TWRP guide. Once you have TWRP reinstalled.
You must download the zip from the second link you posted here at XDA.
Flash the Zip in TWRP. This flash the update to the opposite slot. It also wipes out TWRP and replaces it with the stock recovery.
Now you must reinstall TWRP. Flash the TWRP installer. This will flash TWRP to both slots.
Now reboot to recovery. This will reboot to the new slot where you update was just flashed.
This is when you install Magisk to the updated slot. You MUST do this.
Now reboot to system after you installed Magisk.
Now you have updated without losing any data.
The guide in the second link says to use the Magisk uninstaller. I've personally never done this. This is probably for people who use all sorts of weird add-ons and such. I don't know. Never uninstalled Magisk, never had a problem. That's all I can say. You can try it, or you can follow the official instructions.

It's booting into recovery, but the OnePlus recovery. That is what the menu that is asking you to select a language is. When you enter the command fastboot boot trwp.img you don't get any sort of error? Or the phone doesn't respond?

Sounds like you're not running the command from the folder where fastboot.exe is located.
Makes me wonder why you did it this way in the first place. And why people suggested it. Easiest way to install updates on a rooted 6T is to install the update through the normal updater without rebooting, going to Magisk Manager and selecting install to inactive slot and rebooting only after that. That's really all there is to it.

I didn’t know any other way. That’s why I asked how to do it. Anyway I’m running the command from the right folder. Maybe something broke on my laptop.
Yesterday evening I tried from a new laptop windows 10, installed adb and OnePlus driver for the first time and I was able to run the commands without the error not finding the command but:
Fastboot boot twrp.image returned me an error
If I run fastboot flash boot twrp.image it does not give me error but the phone does not response. It only boot to the boot loader.

Flashing the fastboot rom would probably have gotten you back in and maybe with your data in tact. Now fair warning I'm a Linux user anyways, but really fastboot and adb are so much easier in Linux. For people that have issues, it sometimes is easier just to make a bootable USB / CD of Linux Mint or Ubuntu and then from Synaptic or the Package manager install adb and fastboot. No drivers or anything else to install, everything will just work.
Last time I got stuck in fastboot I just used the fastboot ROM to get back to bootable.

Those fastboot roms have sure saved me from raging before
I would also recommend using migrate, it's in the play store and it backs up all your data and then puts it in a flashable zip

Do a factory reset from TWRP and flash the full ROM.
One best method...and the method that works 100% tested for upgrading a rooted OOS to new OOS version without any loss of data, without any issues.
I'll mention the guide that I have used to upgrade from 9.0.12 rooted to 9.0.13 rooted. Without any loss of data
Download latest OOS full ROM
Boot to TWRP
Flash OOS 9.0.13
Flash TWRP installer zip
Reboot system
Phone will boot.
Now go back to recovery mode
Flash Magisk if u want root again
Done
No confusion. No data loss. Not being stuck. Sweet and Simple.

So I don't have to wipe my system data or anything. I heard some people had the problem of getting stuck or that there was a red warning screen that popped up when booting, and I'm not talking about the bootloader message. I'm currently on 9.0.11. Also should I download the latest version of TWRP or should I use the one I'm using currently. Don't wanna mess anything up. Another guide I read said I should flash the oos rom, then TWRP, than magisk
