I tried to restored a nandroid backup which didnt work, I then tried to lock and unlock bootloader thinking recovery would reset original image and that didnt work and now its wiped. Any suggestions as I'm looping into bootloader screen and I cant even push an image using adb.

You stated it kept going back into fastboot, sorry if I misunderstood. Your PC should see the phone while in TRWP, try another port on your PC or another cable.
Yes, my phone is wiped and no OS on it either. Thats probably why its going back to fastboot. Is my only choice to unbrick? Which as I'm seeing would require me to go to hydrogen os before even being able to go to oxygen os?

Even with it wiped, if you have TWRP installed and no OS you should still boot back into recovery, not fastboot. I would still try installing TWRP again, use the codeworkx version, seems to work best for most people.

Ok so I'm definitely not understanding, once I install twrp codeworkx version then whats my next step to get my device up and running?

After that I would format data in TWRP, reboot back into TWRP and then copy over a rom. Your PC should see the phone plugged in booted up in TWRP.
You mean I can copy OS 5.0.1 and flash directly to it after I copy it over?

Nevermind it worked, thanks. My whole issue was I didnt know the whole time that my pc would see the device as a directory while in twrp. Now I wonder why originally I booted into a black screen bricked when I flashed magisk 14 earlier.

Glad it worked out for you. What rom were you trying to flash and why magisk 14, newer ones are out now.

It's a known issue. You have to use Magisk 15.2 or higher.
If you flash an older version you will get a black screen with a blue notification led.

The latest xXx rom is close to stock and runs great if you want to try something custom.
I actually want to stay close to stock. I dont even want to use nova launcher, I"m staying with OP launcher. So far so good, Not sure upgrade was worth the trouble yet ;)
