if u want to use custom rom just follow proper steps and it will install.
-unlock bootloader (which i assume u already have)
-fastboot boot latest twrp
-do a full wipe and reboot to bootloader.
-again fastboot boot the latest twrp
-now copy rom,gapps,magisk(mandatory) and twrp installer(optional)
-install rom and twrp installer only
-reboot to booatloader and fastboot boot twrp again or if u installed twrp installer just reboot to recovery.
-now flash magisk and gapps
-reboot system
By mistake if u flashed factory.bat then read this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/guide-how-to-restore-imei-permanently-t3759190
if your phone is rebooting after every 60 sec then u most probably corrupted /persist. Don't worry custom roms will work without any problem as they don't touch persist.
did you by chance used flash_factory.bat in mi flash tool ?

and i did use flash_all_lock_crc.bat in mi flash tool then i'm start getting the restart problem with unread sim card
use flash_all_lock.bat only or flash all except storage.bat or flash_all.bat .except these nothing else.

Adb sideload full ROM in TWRP with adb push *file* /sdcard
Wipe everything again and reinstall a full OOS zip found here in the forums. Make sure you install it to both slots, once you flash the full rom zip, flash TWRP again, reboot twrp and then reboot to system. You'll have to set everything up again unfortunately. My advice would be after you make a nandroid, copy it to a PC so that when you go to wipe everything, you can copy everything back and go from there or do what I do and buy a USB Type-C flash drive and when you go to make a backup, just backup to the flash drive. Or worst case use the MSM Download Tool to start fresh. Just make sure if you have the T-Mobile 6T to use the MSM specifically for the T-Mobile version.
I keep all of my important files like ROM's, recovery, Kernels, and backups on a 128gb SanDisk Ultra Fit 3.1 and use a Samsung OTG adapter. They can be had on eBay or Amazon for about $25. 32gb for $10, 64gb for $15-20, and 128gb for $20-25.
Do as Mikex8593 said or just flash the system partition of a fastboot rom

I tried to sideload through TWRP and it failed every time I tried "total xfr: 1.00x.
I was thinking that maybe I should flash stock recovery and from stock recovery to flash the whole OOS Rom as i downloaded from OnePlus website?
Also i was looking at this thread " https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t-t3862516"
and was wondering about the Fastboot roms, can I just flash it through fastboot and get the phone back working, since TWRP not working.
I m a bit newbie in this and learning my way through.
Thank you for your patience

Can you please explain what do you mean by installing it on both slots?
Edit: i Have just discovered the slots on TWRP which is something new to me and googling/trying to understand it.
isn't it possible to flash everything back using fastboot or stock recovery?
TWRP have failed in side-loading the stock rom zip I installed from oneplus website.
Yes, i was thinking of the same, I should get a USB type-C it is a must.
Thank you a lot for your help.

While you're booted into TWRP, if it boots to Slot A, install OOS to A, then change to Slot B and flash OOS to B. PM me if you need help. I'll try and help as best as I can.

I have just decided to go to sleep, and in twrp i tried to click power off. The phone ended up in bootloop... then i tried to boot into bootloader. and then few more minutes the phone just booted in OOS Rom and started the setup process as new Rom.
Which is weird, I don't know what happened.
Also i have lost the TWRP recovery
I m not sure if it is related, to me clicking on slots A - B or so.

That's the point of slots, if your ROM is screwed in active slot and can't boot, at next boot the other slot will be set and tried. If there's a working ROM on it it's good. And if in the other slot no custom recovery is present you lose it
That's why I don't understand why people recommend to flash the same ROM on both slots, it goes on the contrary of the slot philosophy. The only understandable case is when you need to have up to date vendor official partitions before flashing a custom ROM: there the ROM Dev can recommend to flash official OOS twice. But it's not the case till now in the few custom ROM I've seen around
Sounds like you might have been making it too complicated. You can sideload the ROM, or just transfer the ROM to the phone and load it. The phone will be seen by the OS as a MTP device when TWRP is up and running.
When you are in slot A and you install the factory ROM it is automatically installed to slot B and vice versa. You need to immediately install the TWRP recovery to keep TWRP as the ROM will overwrite your recovery with the stock recovery. Then you need to reboot to recovery again, this would put to the opposite slot where your "new" ROM is installed, and let you install Magisk. If you want to update this the original slot just install the ROM and TWRP again. Reboot to recovery again. No need to specify slots, unless you didn't want to change something in the other slot for some reason (like a dual boot or something)
At this point just fast boot the TWRP image and re-run the TWRP installer to get TWRP back and it sounds like you're all set.

Hi, I tried to copy the zip file through MTP but it didn't work, the internal storage on PC looked empty and was not mentioning any size of the storage, and when I try to copy and past a file, the copy process gets stuck on 0% forever.
Sideloading didn't work too. The CMD on PC reached 47% and then gave an error of total xfr:1.00x. when i tried to flash the stock rom zip file from oneplus website.
I had TWRP latest official one, i m not sure if it has issues.
Is there a way to validate that the stock rom files and all are still all working fine? Maybe re-flash the stock rom through stock recovery since TWRP is gone?
Also regarding the slot A and Slot B, i have never flashed anything except root through TWRP. So it could be when i wiped it wiped the empty slot. But the system is back at to zero and setup as new.

[Help] TWRP can't install stock rom and lost encryption. Phone no OS installed.

I was on beta 3 and decided to flash a new version of OOS. I flashed 9.0.11 -> reflashed TWRP and magisk but when I rebooted, it went straight back to TWRP.
I had to switch to a different slot and the phone booted to OOS beta 3 again. Tried to flash 9.0.11 and reflashed beta 3 again but the same thing happened.
Then i swiped everything except for USB storage and Internal Storage in TWRP and now the phone is without OS.
I rebooted to TWRP and now TWRP lost the encryption and I can't flash anything anymore.
Does anybody know how to recover from this?
I'm using the official TWRP build.
Dont panic just download a fast boot rom for version 9.0.11 and run it from fastboot using terminal. Then you will need to flash Magisk in order to have root access.

TWRP still can't flash OOS
So I was able to boot the phone up again using MSMdownloadTool but the problem still persist. I was supposed to be at OOS 9.0.11 but upon checking I found out I was still on open beta 3. Tried to flash 9.0.11 via TWRP and the same thing happened. I was on slot B so when I flashed OOS and rebooted, it rebooted to slot A and brought me straight back to TWRP. It won't boot again until I switch back to slot B to boot and slot B was still on open beta 3. Any thoughts?

This phone has A/B partitions and is able to store a backup version of the OS so if a new installed version doesn't boot it will revert back to the old one.
When Flashing, you need to flash "BOTH" slots.
If you used the MSM tool to boot, you just booted and not flashed.
The MSM tool will flash your phone, restore the stock recovery and relic the bootloader. It will look like it came out of the box.
I don't know how to get you from wrapped around the axle except to tell you to run the MSM tool and let it wipe the phone and get you back to stock. You can then unlock the BL again and install TWRP, etc if you like.

You are booting into TWRP because you did not format your data partition. When flashing OOS, you need to not only wipe data, but also under the Wipe menu, select format data. It should prompt you to type "yes".

Flash a Custom Rom in 2020?

For the past 24+ hours I've been trying to flash a few custom roms on my UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER OP6T, but the phone TURNS OFF a few seconds after the boot sequence/animation.
I've read about the A/B slots and tried the Roms' flashing instructions, along with a few suggestions from others, but I cannot get any Custom Rom on my phone...
Here are the steps I've taken to flash (a few times I tried different things that I'll put in parenthesis). Is there anything ya'll see that I'm doing wrong?:
Starting from OOS 10.3.2 Fastboot Recovery and all required files on an OTG USB Drive

My Guide for Lineage, however it will work for most AOSP based ROMs.
I assume you arent manually switching slots. Don't, there is no need, in fact dont worry about it. Slots will switch automatically after flashing a ROM when you reboot recovery. There is no cache partition, stop wiping this, its not doing anything. There are two slots, but only one data partition that is shared, there isnt a reason to keep wiping it.
On most instructions adding or removing steps will make things not work. Unfortunately for this device there is a lot of out dated information and information that just doesnt work. My guide has been tested with 10.3.3, and the latest version of LOS, however if you have a T-Mobile 6T you are on your own. (I have a regular 6T)

Thanks for the comment! I just followed your guide, but still seeing the boot animation for a few seconds, then the phone vibrates and turns off.
For kicks, I decided to Format Data and I see the boot animation longer, all the way to the end when it's about to start Android, but then it vibrates and shuts off. Strange.
I'm thinking there is something different about my phone... It's a global, unlocked version and I've rooted/flashed hundreds of roms over the years on various devices, so all of this should be a piece of cake................. Thanks!

Have you tried without Gapps?
After the shutdown go back to twrp and extract the content of /sys/fs/pstore/* and upload the files here.

Thanks. I actually gave up and setup stock OOS again, so it took a while to get a TWRP backup, etc. etc.
So after the backup, I installed Xtended + TWRP, reboot to recovery, installed Xtended + TWRP, wiped dalvik, and reboot to system.
Boot animation shut down issue as usual.
Afterwards, I copied the pstore folder (attached zip).
Thanks!

Anything in the logs I can look for?
This is driving me crazy. I flashed MIUI just fine (because it had the .bat file that does everything for you). Essentially it's doing the same thing as flashing OOS & Rom on A/B, right?
Just tried flashing the newest Xtended Rom (May 11th), same issue. Phone vibrates and completely turns off while the boot animation is running.

If you have a TMobile 6t I can confirm I have had to manually change the slots during the flashing process to get custom ROMs installed.

I found out that I do have the T-Mobile version that the seller flashed to International Software haha
When I reboot to recovery, I do see that the slots are being changed though.
Would you mind post the exact steps you took to successfully flash a ROM/GAPPS?

Fastboot boot TWRP Marion version
Flash oos
Flash Marion TWRP zip
Check my slot
Reboot recovery
Changed slot since it didn't change
Reboot recovery
Flash oos
Flash Marion TWRP zip
Changed slot
Reboot recovery
Flash custom rom
Flash Marion TWRP zip
Change slot
Reboot recovery
Flash gapps
Flash magisk 20.4
Reboot to system
Those are the steps I had to take before I finally got a custom rom to work. I tried doing the methods posted which would have probably worked if the slots were changing on there own but they weren't for me.

MY Redmi K20 Stuck!!

There was MIUI installed in my device and i wanted to install MIUI 12 so for which i had to unlock the device and install twrp..
Every thing was fine till then...
I went to advanced wipe and accidentally wiped the internal storage mount.. and FRD the device but still i was in twrp when i was trying to paste the custom while connected the device to the laptop it could not transfer...so i decided to re install twrp thought it might work...as i had done the same thing in the past...but this time my device is stuck in the fastboot mode and now im not able to install and recovery image like twrp or orange fox recover.. and not even shut down..

You should flash vbmeta.img of your current version of miui before you wipe it all.

But right now the flash is done so...what are the other options to bring my phone back to live..
Flash vbmeta.img is fastboot, by ADB command
Just like flashing recovery

If vbmeta flash didn't improve your situation, you must flash a fastboot official rom via Miflash tool.
If new to this use Miflashpro latest, it will guide you in the rom choice and download.

If the custom recovery will shown, then you can easily manage to flash ROM back wipe dalvic/cache, cache, data, system and format data type yes. And so you can flash ROM as brand new. But take note everything on your device will wipe including photos and files. But it is the way to get back your phone to life.
1 - Download this and unrar
2-enter fastboot
3-run Flash_TWRP.bat and follow instruction
