Hi, I tried flashing a new ROM today but it didn't work :/
Now I can't get my device to boot with any ROM, flashing crDroid will cause the phone to only boot into recovery, same with Pixel Experience. With the latest OOS beta and with my latest nandroid backup from stable OOS Pie, I just get a black screen with a light blue notification led.
Any ideas how I can get it up and running again, no matter with ROM or android version?

Just got a oneplus 5 to try. Have lots of experience with nexus 7s, nexus 5, 5x, and pixels with unlocking bootloader, installing twrp, rooting, magisk, etc. Anyway, I'd like to root the oneplus 5. It's on the latest Android 10, Oxygen OS. After doing OEM unlock in developer options, I know I can fastboot and oem unlock which will wipe the device. When I looked at the latest TWRP it warns that the device uses DM_Verity to secure the device and if you flash TWRP the device won't boot anymore. At this point I am ok staying on the latest o2 OS until I figure out what ROM looks best for me,but would like to root it. Can I do that, or if I flash TWRP, must I use another ROM to get around dm_verity? I've searched and can't find a consistent answer. Last thing I want to do is brick it. Thanks.
