Do exactly as described:

With device turned ON and connected to PC type:

abd devices
abd reboot fastboot
fastboot -w
adb reboot fastboot

Flash all .img files in PA folder

Example: "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Edit: I assume you have Platform-Tools and running your commands inside platform tools folder!

I don't use magisk modules
Yes I have Platform Tools. I did exactly what you said, after is booiting now straight into a new install of OxygenOS. Strange...

ROM is verry fast and stable. But I found a few bugs:

-OnePlus Camera crash on portret and video mode.
-Screen flickers at low brightness with night mode on. (Looks like night mode is unstable, the yellow tint sometimes switch to slightly more intense and back)
-No option to tweak icons on statusbar
-Wallpaper is bugged on lock screen for 1 second (See screenshot)

- For camera, you can press app drawer icon and open video or portrait mode from there

If you have issues with flashing when installing system:

boot into fastboot -> fastboot --set-active=a -> MSM tool reset
oem unlock
reboot into fastboot -> fastboot --set-active=b -> MSM tool reset
oem unlock
reboot into fastboot -> fastboot --set-active=a

then

adb reboot fastboot
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot fastboot

continue with steps in OP

somehow I had messed partitions up on a so MSM tool to reset them all and then setting the active partition to A sorted everything out.

You're probably in regular fastboot.

From your booted OxygenOS, type "adb reboot fastboot", then you should be able to flash everything.

Where can I find this ROM's feature list please?

Also, does it come with it's own custom kernel or keep stock? (I'm appreciating arter97 kernel battery life ATM - how does battery life compare on this ROM if other custom kernel is not being advised?)

Bro can you please tell me how you fix this? I am facing the same issue.

Whatever state your phone is currently in this will reset both partitions so you can install PA

  • Reboot into fastboot, this can be done via advanced reboot or holding power and Vol -
  • fastboot --set-active=a
  • Power off
  • Reboot into EDL and run the MSM tool to complete reset the phone back to stock 10.0.07 !!! EXIT THE TOOL AFTER IT IS COMPLETE !!!
  • Skip through all the setup, enable OEM unlocking, reboot into fastboot and oem unlock (this can be done via advanced reboot or holding power and Vol -) (don't know if this is required, probably is)

Repeat this for the 2nd partition, B
  • Let the phone restart, Reboot into fastboot (this can be done via advanced reboot or holding power and Vol - )
  • fastboot --set-active=b
  • Power off
  • Reboot into EDL and run the MSM tool to complete reset the phone back to stock 10.0.07 (this time it'll flash to partition B instead of A) !!! EXIT THE TOOL AFTER IT IS COMPLETE !!!
  • Skip through all the setup, enable OEM unlocking, reboot into fastboot and oem unlock (this can be done via advanced reboot or holding power and Vol -) (this is required)
  • Let the phone restart, Reboot into fastboot (this can be done via advanced reboot or holding power and Vol - )
  • fastboot --set-active=a (this is so we are back on A)
  • skip through all the setup, enable ADB

adb reboot fastboot
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot fastboot

OP recovery allows for fastboot commands and is somehow different than accessing fastboot via volume method or navigating to it via the recovery, this is why you need to run ABD reboot fastboot

After that wipe userdata with -w, reboot into fastboot with the command and flash the files

These are the exact steps I took after bashing my head a for a few mins.

MSM Tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/7t-pro/how-to/op7tpro-unbrick-tool-to-restore-device-t4002909 - 10.0.7 whatever version you have.

Also a tip for accessing EDL mode that people within the thread missed: Also If youre stuck on actually getting into EDL Mode, you have about 5-10 seconds after the USB is plugged in to the phone before it just boots up into charging mode so have fast fingers on pressing Enum and Start

Wow, this is a little complicated for me, but I'll try it later and let you know again. Thanks for the help. :D

https://twitter.com/paranoidaospa/status/1251261126576406530?s=19

It's using arter97 kernel as default, which I definitely notice as I am experiencing good battery life so far. Haven't really tested thoroughly yet but so far so good.

Bro can you please tell me how you fix this? I am facing the same issue.
I used this video.

Note: After you've done this and flashed Paranoid Android, your PC wont be able to see your phone's internal storage.
Go back to Device Manager, drop down 'Android device', right-click 'ADB composite device' or something similar and click uninstall. Replug your phone and now you should see your phone on your computer.

Thanks for sharing this guide!
The command "fastboot reboot fastboot" doesn't work after "fastboot -w" with the message fastboot: usage: unknown reboot target fastboot

Any idea?

I am pretty sure that is the command you are meant to use, it's the same command in OP as well as the flash.bat file. If youre stuck try adb reboot fastboot
