[GUIDE] How to flash the COS 13 update. Even if you get the release keys error

Alright.
I had this problem for a while and I figured out how to flash the update without the need to factory reset or change the update script of the update file.
Even if you get the user/release-keys error message. EXAMPLE:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You have to be using the latest lollipop release before updating. That means you have to be on YOG7DAS2K1 before attempting.
This worked out for me. But it might not work for you. I do not believe it can destroy your phone and switch some satellites off, but still, not responsible if it did so.
Requirments:
You have to have TWRP now or you at least have ROOT and any flashing app like flashify.
Download COS 13 update file. here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995316311
Download the latest CyanogenMod Recovery https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=bacon
Download the cm-12.1-YOG7DAS2K1 full ROM [url]https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960686198[/URL]
Guide:
Make sure the update cyanogen recovery option is checked in developer options.
Flash CyanogenMod Recovery downloaded before.
Reboot into it.
Use the update function in CyanogenMod Recovery and choose cm-12.1-YOG7DAS2K1 as the update file. It might take a while.
Now reboot to your phone. When booted and running, reboot to recovery.
Now you are running COS recovery. Update with the incremental.
That is it.
I hope this works out for you.
EXTRA: How to ROOT and have TWRP as a recovery:
Requirements:
A laptop.
Download TWRP and adb drivers on the laptop and the SuperSU and TWRP on your phone
Download Oneplus One TWRP Recovery [url]https://dl.twrp.me/bacon/twrp-3.0.2-0-bacon.img.html[/URL]
Get any adb divers. This one suffice [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/adb-fb-apx-driver-universal-naked-t2513339[/URL]
Download the latest SuperSu [url]https://download.chainfire.eu/921/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip[/URL]
Guide:
Reboot into bootloader: you can do this in many ways. A simple google search will show you how. Easiest way is to turn the phone off and hold the volume up and power long enough for the phone to boot into bootloader.
Connect your phone to your laptop
Run the adb: I assume you are using windows of course. First put the TWRP .img file in this folder. Hold shift and right click in the folder downloaded above. A 'Open command window here' option will be there. Click it and write in the window
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-bacon.img
. A hint: you can just write twrp and hit TAB, it will complete the filename. Or you can rename the downloaded file to just twrp.img
Check your phone, you will be running TWRP temporarily. You now have the option to ROOT only by flashing the SuperSU file downloaded on your phone. If you reboot now you will lose TWRP and get back to the official COS Recovery. If you want TWRP for good flash the TWRP file downloaded on your phone before.
I hope this is easy. It actually is. just follow it step by step.

If you could provide us the guide to root and come back to twrp I would be extremely happy

if you need a guide to root, this means you are not rooted, and if you are not rooted most probably you already have stock recovery, which means you can just install the OTA update without any issues.

Thank you, you made my life easier, but when I tried to run the twrp through fastboot I got an error and I got the solution writing "fastboot boot twrp.img" (after renaming the file).

As I stated before you have to be on COS 12.1 YOG7DAS2K1. This method should not format your phone or remove any data as there is no factory reset step.
As for the link they are all over the place now. I used the official one. I'll link it for your convenience.

can anyone please pull the stock recovery from COS 13, not 12. I kinda screwed up while updating and now stuck in bootloop.
Update: The issue is resolved. The issue was because of SuperSu 2.46. Installing the latest TWRP and SuperSu 2.66 fixed it. Marshmallow is now rooted!

Thank you very much! After going back to stock and still not receiving the update for more than a week (well at least it felt like a week, Lol) I decided to flash a full COS 13 zip floating around. Instantly liked the new ROM but it had root/symlink issues only to be resolved when flashing a custom kernel it seems. Not what I really wanted so then I stumbled onto your thread and this technique worked 100%! I was on DAS2K1 (flashed thru a custom recovery) already and had several failed attempts flashing just the incremental outright (thru stock recovery)., but by flashing DAS2K1 thru stock recovery first as you suggest then the incremental seems to do the trick.

I did it all the steps, but my phone doesn't not start. After optimizing aplications I have bootloop at "cyanogen modready".
L.E. I think the problem was one of old aplications. After a clean install everything works.

This is the best thing Oneplus one i ever experience.COS13 give my Oneplus one a new breathe of life .This update better than crap lolipop.No Bug for me until now,only google play service need to update twice in play store,its auto reboot itself twice and wholla,super speed UX.The best thing i ever have.I apply update from CM-12-0-YNG1TAS17L Build LRX22G using this method and it works flawlessly
I don't need to factory reset or wipe cache .
I flash full stock ROM cm-12.1-YOG7DAS2K1 and apply update through CyanogenMod Recovery only and nothing else.
Now my oneplus one is rooted and TWRP install using ADB and its fly.All rooted apps is working together with Adaway.
Thanks Cyanogen team for make this 2 years old flagship killer a beast .
Only thing not satisfied is gone signal and wifi status (connectivity indicator ).I need to swipe down to see my transfer data working (what a bummer ).
Thanks so much for this magical guide (y2kkingboy) Yours truly Oneplus one diehard fan.

I was already on cm-12.1-YOG7DAS2K1, however rooted. So even if I had been offered the OTA it would have failed.
Your guide got me updated, first time with no problems.
6.0.1 is such an improvement on 5.1.1, I tried a couple of other 6.0 roms, however this has by far been the most stable and bug free.
Cheers for the tutorial!

u can also add a trick i saw online i.e to remove lines of code from assets to - in updater file

I had tried this before and it did not work for me. Kept getting an error saying "the signature file was not a complete file" and therefore it didn't flash. But it may have been editing error on my part. This method works just fine and no need to give up your data either.

Having tried many other ways, I got it done with this instruction.
Thank you!

TWRP for Z3 compact ; Unlocked Bootloader - GUIDE

Hey guys! Here is how to get recovery for your Z3 Compact without losing any files or flashing any kernels, as this could usually be a pain in the butt if you need a kernel for a custom rom...
I do not take credit for any of the resources in this guide and neither do i take any responsibility for bricked phones,dead SD cards or death
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Prerequisites
1. Unlocked Bootloader (Its fairly easy to do, a simple google would suffice)
2. TWRP image- Get it Here
3. Flashtool installed with all required drivers
4. ADB and Fastboot (Here)
5. Patience
How to Install
1. Make sure you have an unlocked bootloader or this will, and shall not work.
2. Make sure you are running the latest firmware (.291). If not, use flashtool to update to the latest firmware.
3. Copy the downloaded TWRP image to your adb/fastboot folder and rename it recovery.img for ease.
4. Click shift+right click in any empty space in your adb/fastboot folder and click open command window here.
5. switch off your z3c. press the vol up button and insert USB cable to boot into fastboot mode
6. Make sure everything is working by typing
Code:
fastboot devices
in the cmd window. If all is well, then it should show your device's serial along with fastboot written beside it.
7. Time to flash the recovery:
Type in this command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Congrats! You now have a recovery
8. To enter recovery mode, power off your phone, and press and hold Vol-down and Power button together until you see the sony logo.
You can now flash any rom or zips you want with this recovery, for root, flash the latest SuperSu Zip from chainfire.
I would also recommend flashing DRM fix zip.
If you want a better version of the stock rom, i will recommend installing SliMM Rom by Wajk
Note: This TWRP can get uninstalled in some cases, for example flashing a rom with twrp built in. But repeat the same process to get TWRP back without losing any data!
Thanks!

Hi, I'm from Brazil and I just bought a used D5833.
As usual, as soon as I bought the device, I did the procedure to unlock Bootloader without knowing that it was not necessary to get root and neither of the side effects of the unlock (about the quality of the camera and etc).
However the whole procedure worked well to install RECOVERY but I still could not get root.
I am using a MM 6.0.1 and TWRP 3.0.2-1 and the problem is always the same at the time of doing the FLASH in Supersu:
Boot image patcher
Finding boot image
--- boot image: / dev / block / mmcblk0p14
extracting ramdisk
Failure, aborting
I tried with the following versions of SUPERSU:
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip
BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503.zip
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip
SR4-SuperSU-v2.78-SR4-20161115184928.zip
Older versions cause a bootloop
I keep looking but I can not do ROOT
I would even like to install the SliMM ROM but you need root first.
Could you help me ??

No, you can install SliMM directly. To get root, you should be using armv23 version... Try this. Also, you should use a DRM restore zip to get back camera quality

Should I have to flash DRM Fix every time I flash TWRP?

To Get Root
As I can see, many people are having trouble getting root on their devices. You cannot directly get root on .291 as far as I know.
But since I do not use the stock firmware, there is no way for me to test. I will be using you people as testers now. I know of two methods. First , the shorter one. I got the supersu from Xperience ROM.
Please try this and let me know. Otherwise, the other method is pretty hard and requires flashing kernels.

Doesn't make any sense... It would so that only if you flashed to boot partition. Download EliteKernel V3 , extract the zip, keep the boot.img in your minimal adb folder and do
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then try again

I am having issue with TWRP 3.0.2-1 on my D5833. 3.0.2-0 and other previous versions ran without problem on my Z3C but the display problem occurred in TWRP 3.0.2-1 and the situation is similar with the photo below. (It was running an AOSP 7.1 ROM for Z3C D5803, the bottom of the screen could not display correctly, and the entire screen was flashing)
According to my observations, when my D5833 was running TWRP 3.0.2-1, the color temperature of the interface was colder than that of 3.0.2-0, I guess that's due to a change in the graphics mode or something similar, and once I set the color temperature to warmer (i.e. change the display mode), it will display everything correctly. However, I just can't figure out how to do that, maybe editing some codes? Can anyone please help me?

Sh*t this is bad. I dont think it has anything to do with twrp. Try reinstalling stock android marshmallow.
If that doesnt work, than it is a definite problem with hardware.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried to reinstall the stock ROM and many other methods but no one would fix the display problem of TWRP 3.0.2-1 and most third-party ROMs. There are only three types of ROMs can run without display problems on my D5833: stock Sony Xperia ROM, official CyanogenMod 12.1 builds and any third-party ROMs mainly based on stock Xperia ROM and / or CM. CM builds higher than 12.1 will occur the display problems too.
I remember there is another characteristic: the boot screen can indicate the situation - when the boot screen shows "SONY" logo at the center with "XPERIA" logo at the bottom, there is NO display problem. When the boot screen only shows "SONY" logo and the bottom is empty, there WILL BE display problem. It's quite weird.

oh OK. If this problem did not exist on older version of TWRP, then using the same method, roll back to twrp 3.0.2-0. you just need to download that file. All the best!

Indeed there will be no problem for older versions. However, I am still unable to install and run many third-party ROMs smoothly, that means the number of ROMs I can try out is limited. Anyway, that is alright, thanks for your reply.

Funny... It works very well for me... In fact it's much more stable than previous versions

***Edited: Important update*** Anyone managed to ROOT P10+ (VKY-AL00C00)?

Bootloader is open but TWRP is giving ERROR1 when trying to flash Root, and also is unable to mount any partition...
Any help from someone who managed?
***Important Update!*** I am almost sure the problem is with Huawei shipping the P10/P10Plus with different storage chips.
Myself unfortunately got the eMMC chip + LPDDR4 memory. This is why TWRP is unable to mount any partition since the .fstab is different.
I have a working TWRP I ported myself which I was able to rebrand with, root yet to be confirmed. If you need it PM me.
I strongly advise anyone trying to flash TWRP to check their storage chip first using adb command "ls /proc/fs/*".
If you get mmcblk your F******, SD or UFS you are good.

I have an AL00 (rebranded to L29) that I rooted without too much hassle. The key is NOT sliding the first screen in TWRP. You have to click the read only button and then flash the phh nocrypt root zip.

Thanks!

If you follow this guide exactly, you'll be rooted without issues. (you can use their files, they work fine) Two things to watch for :
1. You absolutely cannot slide the first slider in TWRP to allow modifications. You have to click the read only button.
2. It will only work on a fresh install / fresh boot.img. If you've already allowed modifications within TWRP, you're stuck. You have to flash a new boot.img or completely re-install EMUI via update.zip or funkyhuawei.
Hope this helps

Thanks so much for your Info Goronok.
I got the same problem.. No possibility of a full root and system partition is write protected..
One question:
Is ist possible to do a factory reset out of the settings as well?
Or do we have to go for the funkyhuawei method?
How can i update.zip the system if its not possible to make a dload folder in the root folder on system partition?
Can someone uplad the boot.img for VKY-L09C432B130, if that will save the problem too... ?
Ok that wasnt one, that were 4 questions.. but thanks so much in advance
Kind Regards
Dennis

1. No factory reset within the device will help you once you've swiped to allow modifications within TWRP.
2. I did funkyhuawei, so it's the only thing I can speak to. This method will absolutely work assuming you dont mind spending a few dollars and have a router where you can specify DNS.
3. update.zip should (in theory) work from sdcard, though I have not personally tried it. I think most of the people mentioning this method are coming from a P9/Mate9, which does things a little differently.
4. I have not seen a link for VKY-B130 yet, but here is one for B124. The boot.img here should work just the same... http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1475/g104/v82453/f2/full/update.zip

can't figure out what is wrong
First time I tried to root I did slide the "allow modifications"...
I reinstalled stock twice with FunkyHuawei but still can't get TWRP to work.
It seems it doesn't have access to any partition.
Phone boots normally though...
Any ideas?
Please.....

Hey Mosquito, i guess we both have the same kinda Problem.
I will do the following steps today and let you guys know, if and how it worked out.
The only problem is, im not at home right now, so i dont have access to a router where i can change the DNS. So no FunkyHuawei method for me.
I will do the following steps today:
1. Donwloading the VKY-L09C432B130 jus now. Trying to flash the original boot.img and do the TWRP and root again, WITHOUT swping the TWRP allow modifications slider
2. If No 1 doesnt work i will copy the download update.app, will create a dload folder on my external sd card and copy update.app in it. Then trzing to freshly install the downloaded firmware.
3. If there is somehow a failure or any error with the automated update i will factory reset the phone via settings and then see whtats going on.
I hope everything will work out fine, even without the possibility of FunkyHuawei Reset.
Keep in mind that there are two types of TWRP online available for the P10Plus Version 3.0.2.2 and version 3.1.0.0.. maybe the root works different with the different TWRPs. At this moment im not quite sure which one i use.. probably the one from gizdev, what Goronok told us to use.
I keep you up to date whats going on!
Thanks guys
Regards
Dennis

2. If No 1 doesnt work i will copy the download update.app, will create a dload folder on my external sd card and copy update.app in it. Then trzing to freshly install the downloaded firmware.
3. If there is somehow a failure or any error with the automated update i will factory reset the phone via settings and then see whtats going on.
I hope everything will work out fine, even without the possibility of FunkyHuawei Reset.
Keep in mind that there are two types of TWRP online available for the P10Plus Version 3.0.2.2 and version 3.1.0.0.. maybe the root works different with the different TWRPs. At this moment im not quite sure which one i use.. probably the one from gizdev, what Goronok told us to use.
I keep you up to date whats going on!
Thanks guys
Regards
Dennis

I already did everything you wrote, still no go.
Please update me if you get a different result.
Tried both TWRP versions.
What firmware you had at first?

I have bought my phone 10 days ago.
From T-Mobile Germany.
VKY-L09 6GB Version, Single Sim i guess.
Not sure what Firmware i had when i bought it, cause I immediately tried to root after buying, without checking the FW Version.
But I did a FunkyHuawei Restore before with VKY-L09C432B130 Firmware and it worked.
Only the Full Root is the Problem right now.. damnit.
I Will try everything and let you know.
Later!

First time I tried to root I did slide the "allow modifications"...
I reinstalled stock twice with FunkyHuawei but still can't get TWRP to work.
It seems it doesn't have access to any partition.
Phone boots normally though...
Any ideas?
Please.....

Where did you get your firmware from and what firmware you were on?

I have the Firmware L09C432B130 and i downloaded from here:
http://www.stechguide.com/download-huawei-p10-plus-nougat-firmware-update/
Just google your firmware and downloaded.
You need the exact 100% same boot.img from your installed firmware.
Then it will work for sure!

Dennis,
Can you please check for me if TWRP mounts partitions correctly for you?
I suspect the problem for me is incompatibility of the available TWRP with the Chinese version, or some sort of data encryption embedded.

DC Unlocker is the only way to go as Huawei stopped releasing bootloader unlock codes since July 22, 2018.

I installed the Resurrection Remix and Lineage rom on my P10+ (VKY L29) device and both got me the same problem:
When i boot (the boot is successful), Google starts the first configuration. It asks me the language and the visual properties and then i press "next". The screen remains on "Just a second..." for about forever.
I tried format data before and after, tried to install several Treble roms... Everything took me to the same problem.
I tried also to re-install Gapps, but this took me to another problem: the Google First Configuration is totally black.
What should i do?

I tried rebooting about 10 times and he always did the same.
Fortunately I figured out how to resolve this hell:
The Google first configuration setup checks the integrity of the ramdisk Partition. I had a custom recovery so obviously the check was not satisfied.
The solution is to flash the stock recovery ramdisk partition (in my case i download The Official update of Huawei p10 Plus and extracted only the ramdisk image).
When i finished the configuration I completed every setup and then I reinstalled the custom recovery again.

If you have properly read the instructions in OpenKirin website, it was clearly stated there that all these ROMs must be installed wirh stock recovery to avoid other issues.

True, I've read the disclaimer, but if someone, like me, used to install ROMs with the same warning without any problem (like an AOSP rom on my previous phone, which I installed having the TWRP), maybe he/she would think that there is not so much to worry about.
However, I noticed that there isn't a real "guide" on internet about a workaround of the "Just a sec" problem, so I wrote that message also for who needs a help and does not know about the partition check.

I found a bug on the "display" menu.
When i select a theme (light, dark, or the black switch), the system theme doesn't change at all. Tried to reboot, clear cache and data of SystemUI, nothing changed.
I bypassed this theme issue with Substratum. Didn't get any bug/problem with Substratum.

If you use a normal Huawei EMUI system, there is a special treatment which use a special SuperSu zip file.
Also, you can use a Magisk version, always optimized for Huawei. I found the zip variant in a thread in the P10+ section.
If you have the Treble ROM, which is the main topic of the thread, I did this:
Ensured that there were no setups to do;
Re-flashed TWRP;
Installed the normal Magisk zip from TWRP.
Because is not a EMUI system anymore, you can easily install every mod or patch you wish.
Personal note: I tried install SuperSu with the zip, but the app said "binary occupied". Since it did like that before, with the EMUI system, I gave up and I installed Magisk.
Now it works like a charm.

Don't use twrp with openkirin rom's. Join the telegram openkirin group and u will get there all the help u need. U need magisk 16.7 or newer. I don't understand why people still use twrp when is stated so many times that using twrp with openkirin rom's usually leed's to bootlop.

any chance to get rid of this annoying notification of SDCARD after reboot ?

I use the FromFutureRom version that is in the thread I linked before. I think is made especially for Huawei P10/P10+
My data partition is still encrypted.
In order to decrypt data you should format the so called "user data", which is the combination of /data and /sdcard. Don't have to say that you will lose everything on your internal archive, so be sure to backup everything. The external SD card will NOT be affected.
In the TWRP you can to this on the menu "format" -> "format data" -> write "yes" and format everything.

You are absolutely right, but I said that you can install TWRP or any custom rom AFTER the Treble Rom installation. I am now on Resurrection Remix Treble rom, with a TWRP recovery installed after the rom flash and everything is fine since the first boot.

Help! PO6T stuck in fastboot mode after trying to flash TWRP

Hey everabody,
I tried to install TWRP on my OP6T, using the guide from lineage OS (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/fajita/install) but after the fifth Step in "Temporarily booting a custom recovery using fastboot", my device stuck into fastboot logo and after restarting the phone, i wasn´t able to reboot the OOS system or to get into TWRP, I could see only the warning, that the bootloader is unlocked or the fastboot mode. I tried several other guides to install TWRP on my phone, but the all lead to the same problem. I also tried to relock the bootloader to get rid of the warning screen, but that also didn´t work.
Than, I tried to flash stock ROM with the Tool All in one (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3860279) but I got an Error (something about personal data) now I am able to start the Phone, but it remains in the starting animation of OOS.
Now I just want my phone to work again, with OOS or Lineage OS. Please help me. Best reagards.
Update : phone restarts after flashing stock again, but play store does not download anything. I still want to get Lineage OS, twrp...

Wow... It's scary how wrong those instructions are. Those need to be changed. Don't follow those. They will not work for this device.
These instructions will help you get Lineage on your 6T if thats what you want to do. It's the same process LOS 17 or 16. Just make sure if you are doing LOS 16, start with OOS 9.0.17, if you are doing LOS 17, start with 10.3.2 (latest OOS). Don't mix Android 9 and 10. When booting TWRP from fastboot boot the correct TWRP img, Pie for Android 9, Q for Android 10. The installer works for either.
At this stage you will need to restore your phone. Replacing the boot partition would likely make it boot again. Some people have posted this. I would go this route if you need to get data off of it. If you don't care about data (hopefully you backed up already) I would use the fastboot ROM at this point to start over. OnePlus 6T Fastboot ROM thread.
Once you have that, install TWRP. Funk Wizard's guide's are always good for this stuff. It's basically boot the TWRP img from fastboot, then run the installer, reboot to recovery, install Magisk if running OOS (otherwise TWRP will be replaced on boot). Magisk Link
Any questions ask.

Thank you very much

Dear OhioYJ, thank you very much.
Before starting the flashing process, I want to ask a few questions.
1. While running the adb& fastboot setup, the interface (the blue one) said that 0 files were copied. In a YT video I saw the same programm, but 4 files were copied in the video. Will adb and fastboot be disturbed by that?
2. after rebooting the phone (and editing my first post), I made a factory reset in the setting of OOS. Does this change anything?
3. in Funk Wizard´s source for downloading the TWRP image (official TWRP site) i can find only a few versions of the img and the Zip, but there are no specifications if they are made for Pie or Q, as OhioYJ mentioned in his answer. Is there any ploblem?
4. for installing Magisk, I visited the Thread and downloaded the latest stable version. Is that correct (no specific version for the device or something, I just want to make sure not to mix the whole thing up again)
thank you for your help

No. In fact when going between AOSP, like LOS, and OOS you'll have to use OOSs recovery to to do a factory reset to get the phone to boot.

Glad you asked. Don't use the official version. It's out of date and will cause problems. This is the official maintainers thread. Download the main versions there. The install guide talks about installing to recover ramdisk, which you can do, but it's still perfectly fine to boot the image, and run the installer like normal. Using the installer is what I always do as it's easier.

You are correct. 20.3 is the latest stable version. That's all you need. 20.3 will also install Magisk Manager 7.5.1 the latest version of the Manager as well so you don't even need to download that. I will recommend two additional things:
MagiskHide Props Config
UPDATE-Busybox.Installer.v1.31.1-ALL-signed.zip (In the first post, required for the MagiskHide Props to work)
MagiskHide Props Config will make it so you pass safetynet and still come up certified in the play store. You will need a terminal emulator to activate the props module. You can use anyone you prefer, I personally use this one.

I need an advice

Dear OhioYJ,
thank you for your help.
Right now i´m looking for the files you recommended in your fourth answer, but i can´t find MagiskHide Props Config. (could you give me a download link?)
Since my device decided to work again and even the Playstore started downloading, I am not sure if I want to risk new problems , than´s why I need an advice: is Lineage OS worth the risk? What could go wrong and is there a possibility to brick the phone irretrievable?
Is there a way just to get twrp and Lineage without rooting the device permanently, installing magisk etc? I need to use some banking apps, so i would have to unroot the phone after installing Lineage.
Is it dangerous to lock the bootloader again?
I´m sorry for my questions, but i do not have much experiece with this stuff, I only installed Lineage OS on the oneplus 1 and 2, what was very easy. Thank you very much.

Highly unlikely, but anything is possible I guess. With OnePlus devices you have the MSMTool, which while I've frequently on here said should be a last resort, works very well. This will work without recovery or fastboot. While you have a working phone though, make sure you use FunkWizard's guide to backup your modem. <-- This is key if you are going to play with your phone, and install ROMs and such. Odds are you are never going to need them, but its the one unique thing to your device and it will save you if you ever happen to actually mess that up. Back these up some where safe (not on the phone).

Everyone must form their own opinion, tolerance level. The OS is very stable. Personally I don't own or buy a device that doesn't have LOS support (Before LOS it was CM). I don't even give a device to my son that doesn't have LOS on it. It gives me much more control over my privacy, data, and information. Even my battery life has been great, typically averaging 7-8 hours of SOT over 48 hours.

You don't have to root to have Lineage. Depends on the banking app, but some won't work without hiding the fact your bootloader is unlocked anyways. So you may not be able to run your app just running Lineage unrooted anyways. Only one way to find out I guess. I generally have as few apps as possible. I do know the few times I've used my banking app, it's worked with Magisk and that Module I've linked to above.

Is it dangerous to lock the bootloader again?

If you phone isn't completely stock, yes. If you are absolutely sure everything is stock, then it's not a problem. MSM Tool will put everything back as it was out of the box and relock the bootloader for you. Relocking / Unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone. Back everything up.

I only installed Lineage OS on the oneplus 1 and 2, what was very easy.

It's not that bad once you get it down, and get it converted over. It's just not like the "old days" where many devices were similar wipe caches, it was ok to wipe system, flash ROM, etc. I have a new tablet and you can't flash the those modules above in TWRP otherwise it refuses to boot again. Every device has something different. Once you're running LOS, updating is pretty straight forward:
- Reboot to recovery
- Flash Lineage.
- Flash TWRP Installer
- Reboot to Recovery
- Flash Gapps. (Assuming you use them, if you installed them once you must continue to install them or do a clean instal)
- Flash Magisk. (If you use it)
- Reboot to system.
- No loss of data, or anything.

It's at the bottom of his first post. It's attached to the post.
Highly unlikely, but anything is possible I guess. With OnePlus devices you have the MSMTool, which while I've frequently on here said should be a last resort, works very well. This will work without recovery or fastboot. While you have a working phone though, make sure you use FunkWizard's guide to backup your modem. <-- This is key if you are going to play with your phone, and install ROMs and such. Odds are you are never going to need them, but its the one unique thing to your device and it will save you if you ever happen to actually mess that up. Back these up some where safe (not on the phone).
Everyone must form their own opinion, tolerance level. The OS is very stable. Personally I don't own or buy a device that doesn't have LOS support (Before LOS it was CM). I don't even give a device to my son that doesn't have LOS on it. It gives me much more control over my privacy, data, and information. Even my battery life has been great, typically averaging 7-8 hours of SOT over 48 hours.

Thank you very much!
I will write down what i´m going to do, would be great if you would give it a savety check.
Status:
- I unlocked the bootloader and enabled usb debugging and advanced reboot
-I installed the OP drivers and adb and fastboot on my pc
- I downloaded the the fajita twrp image and the twrp installer by mauronfrio, Magisk-v20.3 , UPDATE-Busybox.Installer.v1.31.1-ALL-signed.zip and MagiskHidePropsConf-v5.2.4 on my pc
- I downloaded the official Lineage Os 17 for fajita on my pc
next steps (assuming)
- download gapps
- set swipe to unlock the phone
- store the twrp image, installer, Magisk, magisk hide , UPDATE-Busybox.Installer.v1.31.1-ALL-signed.zip, gapps and the lineage zip on my internal storage
- boot into fastboot mode
- fastboot flash twrp image
- fastboot boot into recovery
- flash (now in twrp) twrp installer
- reboot recovery
- create nandroid backup
- flash magisk and the other 2 files relating to magisk
- gain root access
- reboot recovery
- wipe system partition
- flash lineage os 17
- flash twrp installer
- flash gapps
- create a backup
- reboot system
further targets: undo root
optional: clean install gapps
Thank you very much

Wow... It's scary how wrong those instructions are. Those need to be changed. Don't follow those. They will not work for this device.
These instructions will help you get Lineage on your 6T if thats what you want to do. It's the same process LOS 17 or 16. Just make sure if you are doing LOS 16, start with OOS 9.0.17, if you are doing LOS 17, start with 10.3.2 (latest OOS). Don't mix Android 9 and 10. When booting TWRP from fastboot boot the correct TWRP img, Pie for Android 9, Q for Android 10. The installer works for either.
At this stage you will need to restore your phone. Replacing the boot partition would likely make it boot again. Some people have posted this. I would go this route if you need to get data off of it. If you don't care about data (hopefully you backed up already) I would use the fastboot ROM at this point to start over. OnePlus 6T Fastboot ROM thread.
Once you have that, install TWRP. Funk Wizard's guide's are always good for this stuff. It's basically boot the TWRP img from fastboot, then run the installer, reboot to recovery, install Magisk if running OOS (otherwise TWRP will be replaced on boot). Magisk Link
Any questions ask.

Thank you so much for covering this topic properly. I'm just now rejoining the Android world after having to use iPhone for over a year. Still had my 6t floating around, almost brand new and trying to quickly Google my way to getting TWRP and Lineage installed. The install instructions on the Lineage site are incredibly wrong. After going to that link and tweaking a bit it installed perfectly.
