[RECOVERY] HOW TO INSTALL TWRP & MAGISK OOS 5.1.11, OB1 & earlier

[lollyjay]

Please follow all directions carefully.
There is an excellent unofficial TWRP by @eng.stk at https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/kernel-t3800965 I have installed it successfully from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=27466#downloads using the following method:

This unofficial TWRP by @eng.stk has working haptic, brightness and MTP

If you already have anotherTWRP installed, you can install the new zip from your TWRP but remember if you had Magisk before, to reboot TWRP and flash Magisk again

• NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE STOCK OOS 5.1.5 through latest OOS 9, OR ANY OF THE CUSTOM ROMS
• NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER
• NOTE: I HAVE NOW PERSONALLY TESTED THAT THIS METHOD WORKS IF YOU HAVE OOS 5.1.6 through latest OOS 9
• NOTE: FASTBOOT COMMANDS MUST BE INSTALLED AND TESTED ON YOUR PC
• NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE MAGISK 17.x ZIP ON YOUR PHONE
  *** YOU MUST FOLLOW ALL STEPS EXACTLY ***

• Download twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6.img from the above site to your pc
  
• Download twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6.zip from the above site to your phone
• Hook phone to pc USB with factory red cable (or other usb-c cable that you have tested)
• Reboot phone into bootloader
• On your pc, go to the location where you downloaded the twrp image
• Type fastboot devices to make sure that you get a response showing your phone and serial number
• Type fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6.img
• Your phone will boot into twrp YOU WILL PROBABLY BE ASKED TO ENTER YOUR PIN/PATTERN/PASSWORD.
• From twrp, install the twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6.zip that you downloaded on your phone
• Disconnect your phone from the pc
• Reboot twrp back into recovery. You should now be rebooted to the new twrp.
• If you had magisk installed, then flash magisk again or you will bootloop back to twrp

Ok so should I follow these same steps if I am on the unofficial twrp with magisk 16.4 already installed?

If I'm installing oos through twrp , do I install the twrp image afterwards to keep TWRP, or do I install the twrp installer, or both?

I made this only for those who were on stock 5.1. 5

As I said, this is for those who have stock 5.1.5 OOS.

Awesome, now I am on official twrp. Everything works as it should.
btw, original cable is not necessary to use, I am using wsken magnetic one and everything works.
Would be handy to have all the link in this thread.

My question was in general. If I want to clean flash 515 do I install the image afterwards or the installer zip or both I didn't say nothing about 516

I would suggest that you use the local upgrade in system upgrades and then install twrp

If I'm on stock recovery with magisk 16.4 already, will I have any issues? Is it necessary to flash it again before boot?

You must flash magisk again after installing the official TWRP as in the OP

Is there a reason the OP says to specifically flash Magisk version 16.4 (which is a beta version)? I'm running 16.0 (stable) right now and haven't experienced any issues, at least none that I've noticed.

Hey as long as 16.0 is working for you., I see no reason to change. Just make sure you reflash Magisk 16.0 after.

I'm not good at it. I wish someone make youtube video.

FYI, I installed following instructions on TWRP Oneplus6 page. Quick and easy. I'm curious why your instructions require Magisk? It certainly was not required for me. For the record I am not/ was not previously rooted with magisk.

 

[Gr8man001]

Thanks for the quick guide. Worked like a charm. I am rooted in first attempt. Simple to follow guide. Thanks for putting the guide together.

Yes I think that you are correct. I made this for people who were/want to be rooted. Nevertheless some have reported boot problems.
