who is hesitant or looking for a guide on how to install Blu_Spark TWRP and Root the device.
The guide below will work 99.9% of the time. just follow the instructions carefully

Necessary Files:
Install OnePlus 6 Driver
Install Fastboot Drivers
TWRP Image
Magisk 20.1
twrp-3.3.1-x_blu_spark_v9.107_op6
Stock boot image thanks [URL="https://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=6994095" @Akhil701[/URL]


Step 1: [dont do this if you have installed ADB and Fastboot already]
Install Oneplus 6, ADB and Fastboot Drivers from the link above
* Reboot PC after installing

Step 2:
Put

Stock Boot Image [boot.img]
twrp-3.3.1-x_blu_spark_v9.107_op6.zip and
Magisk-v20.1.zip

on your internal storage

Also Put

twrp-3.3.1-11-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img

on your desktop

Step 3: Reboot device in fastboot/bootloader mode
Step 4: Connect Device to PC Via USB Cable
Step 5: On your desktop Press Shift Right Click then click the [Open Command Prompt Here]
Step 6: on the CMD Windows Type

fastboot devices

Press enter and see if your device shows up.

Step 7: type in the CMD Window

fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-11-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img

press enter then after that on your phone screen use volume up or down button to reboot to recovery

Step 8:
Once you have the TWRP Screen

flash the stock boot image [boot.img] in boot partition [DO NOT Reboot!]

now go back and flash the Blu_Spark TWRP and then reboot to recovery

Step 9: Rooting

Flash Magisk 20.1.zip then reboot to system.

Thats it! no data will be wiped as long as your bootloader is already unlocked.

Patched boot.img or why we need the boot image after flashing OOS10 via local update?

im not sure about that also. im just hesitant to skip that step. it might break something. thats why i added that step on this guide

 

[Nemesco]

Thnx, this was a very easy walkthrough.
Only thing I want to say is that not everyone knows how to flash the 'boot.img' through TWRP. Maybe you can explain that in more detail.

 

[jabs]

no patched boot.img you need
1. connect your OP6 to PC
2. flash TWRP (from mauronofrio) by fastboot from PC
3. reboot from fastboot to recovery
4. in TWRP flash stock img OOS, don´t reboot
5. in TWRP flash TWRP (blu_spark 9.107)
6- reboot to TWRP to another slot
7. in TWRP flash Magisk 20.1
8. reboot to system

I have noticed this too, probably they have changed somehow the system, even fastboot boot doesn't work anymore....

I had to install magisk via boot.img patching

Functionally on OOS 10.0.1 OP6 ?

 

[Brisky86]

So I was unable to flash the new OTA through twrp running on my rooted OP6.
As such, I opted to install the new OTA through the "local install" option.
That worked great. Settings area all the same. Bootloader still unlocked (I double checked).

Drivers are all installed on my Windows 10 PC.

However, no matter what I attempt to flash from command prompt I always get:
FAILED (remote: unkown command)

Does anyone know of a solution yet?
I have been reinstalling drivers and rebooting my PC with no luck thus far.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Update:
Whelp now that it is upgraded to Android 10 (and was wiped of all data when I locked and then unlocked the bootloader again) it will not allow me to downgrade back to Andriod 9 through the local upgrade option and since I can not get fastboot to accept any commands I am stuck now in Andriod 10 without the ability to change anything at the moment.

i knew it while reading but thanks to the screenshot you provided you saved me from sounding "user error" once again and piss of so many who prefer to blame things and others LOL

in short, wrong command, it's fastboot flash boot <image name>

BTW and since i'm already at it, if anyone has a Mac runniing 10.15 "Catalina" and fastboot is working from terminal, i'd like to learn how he/she's done it

just came to my mind to ask here since i have to use windows 10 under parallels desktop to fastboot flash my android stuff at the moment and of course that's just an "Emergency" choice for me, everyone using both platforms will understand

Wow. Okay.
This is becoming a comedy of errors on my part.

Oh boy now I am getting Qualcom flashdump messages...
Huh now it is just booting normal but not letting me get into the new recovery flash...
I got it all fixed.
Thank you everyone for your help and patience with my posts.

Does 10.0.1 still have the ability to do screen-off gestures for music? I like 10 but on my wife's 7t, either she didn't turn them on, our it didn't have them so I'm curious if there same thing is happening with this? I also noticed on her 7t, constant data problems when's switching from WiFi to data. Sometimes data won't come back and only a reboot solves. I know it's a bug on OOS 10 on 7t but wondering if it's a device specific bug or an Android 10 bug? Anyone having op6 issues with data not coming back when switching from WiFi?

Hi guys, sorry to resurrect this thread. I did everything in the correct order using 10.0.3.0 and after step 8 (reboot after flashing blu_spark) my phone gets stuck on blu_spark splash screen without any option to boot into twrp. Normal boot results in bootloop... Any ideas? Do I need to use different versions of twrp.img and .zip?

I am in exactly the same position here.
Followed all the steps and am now stuck on the blu_spark boot screen for the past 15 minutes
