Can't Boot after OTA Open Beta 5 -> 6

[erak606]

Hi, I just dirty flashed my phone through OTA from OB5 to OB6. I currently can't boot into my phone, but recovery and everything works.

I'm using twrp 3.2.1.0 codeworx. I can boot into my lockscreen but the moment it loads it says "Shutting down". If I install Magisk 16.0 it just tries to boot, then fails and jumps to recovery.

At least my data isn't encrypted anymore, but what can I do about this? When I try to sideload the OB5 ROM it says can't read zip.

Also it's interesting how my recovery gets reset every time that happens.

From my knowledge you should make clean flash as android 8.0 and 8.1 are different versions

You didn't removed all the overlays from substratum, navigate with twrp's file manager into /data/system and delete overlays.xml

Thanks for the suggestion. I also feel a feeling that it's substratum because I made the mistake of updating with layers still installed. I tried flashing the substratum rescue zip, both legacy and non-legacy, and also deleting the file as you suggested but I'm still getting that immediate "shutting down" error.

For my personal experience, I took the OTA and had no problems rebooting. I'm also fully stock with no root or custom recovery; I don't know if that affected my flash and reboot. I bought my OP5 used from Swappa. When I got it, I clean flashed the OB5 and then today I took the OTA for OB6.

I was on ob05, twrp 8.71. Received ota, full zip, on the phone. Dirty flash workt fine for me. Phone booted ok. Of course, recovery was gone. Reflash recovery. Reboot to recovery. Flash Magisk 16. All ok.

Bootloop was caused by https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/themes/op5-oos-oreo-official-fix-blue-3rd-t3727238/ for me. After disabling the module with https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-tool-magisk-manager-recovery-mode-t3693165 it's booting properly
