Hello guys!
First, thank you very much for your hard work!
I'm not new to fiddling around with custom ROMs on Android phones, but with my new OP6 I just can't get it running.
Also the a/b partition thing is very confusing to me.
After trying the
Havoc OS ROM which prompted processes dying all the time, I wanted to try out this LOS 16 ROM.
Then I came to a state where I could not boot into anything, even twrp.
So I made the steps described in the
[GUIDE] Mega Unbrick Guide for A Hard Bricked OnePlus 6 thread.
It worked and I got a stock 8.0.1.
After that I let the OTA Update give me Android 9.
Then I followed the intruction from the official LOS page.
But when i tried to install pico Gapps (arm64 Android 9), it returns error 20 to me, stating im using Android 10. ?!
When I tapped "reboot to recovery" in twrp, it promted "no os installed" and after that i could not even boot to twrp anymore with VolUp + Power.
I think I've made a mistake somewhere, but I cant find it.
There are guides where you have to flash multiple times while others dont do this.
Should I use the latest official twrp.img or the bluespark thing?
I'm completely lost by now.
Thank you for your help!
Edit:
I'll try again. I'm installing the official OxygenOS 9.0.9 Full Zip from
this thread..
After reboot, I'll do it again so hopefully both slots have got the latest Android 9 stock firmware.
From there I'll start over with the official LOS guide.
Edit2:
OK everything works fine now except Magisk. If I install it with the LOS recovery via sideload and reboot, its not there.
Edit3:
I used the addonsu from LOS and it worked.
There was a post on "bullet proof" steps for flashing to A/B partitions that worked for me. I can't find the original post to link you to, but fortunately I had copied the text to my desktop. This worked for me to install Lineage, Gapps, and Magisk, hopefully it will help you as well. (I swapped OOS BETA 4 for OOS 9.0.9)

I have finally installed. Can you tell me which GCam is the best for this ROM?
And I can't block ad with AdAway for a mount problem. Any idea?
Not sure about your AdAway issue, but I tried a few versions of GCam and found 6.1 Miniflex was the one that worked with this ROM. Link
here.
