This thread is intended to get a fully working twrp for our new device sooner than later by more of us participating.
This is a testing thread so YES ANYTHING CAN GO WRONG. But most likely will not go wrong..

All test builds compiled by me are from @mauronofrio source code
https://github.com/mauronofrio/android_device_oneplus_guacamole_TWRP

This guide was copied and pasted from @mauronofrio Twrp thread.

Install guide:
Actually seems "fastboot boot twrp.img" is not working so we need to use another guide:
1. Install fastboot tools from google's sdk on your PC
2. Enter fastboot mode
3. Unlock your bootloader
4. Now you should check which slot are you using with this command "fastboot getvar current-slot"
5. Now you should change the slot in use with this command "fastboot --set-active=*" you should replace with the slot is not in use, for example if you are using slot a the command will be "fastboot --set-active=b"
6. Now you should flash the twrp in the boot partion using this command "fastboot flash boot twrp.img"
7. Now reboot the device with in recovery mode scrolling the menu with the volume button and selecting "Recovery Mode" with the power button
8. First thing go in reboot menu and restore the old active slot
9. Now you can flash the installer (Actually you can do it using sideload, start sideload server from twrp advanced menu and from pc use this command "adb sideload twrpinstaller.zip")

If you are already rooted, you can skip all and directly flash the installer like a magisk module. Always remember that after you flashed the installer you will be unrooted.


Tips:
If you alread have a twrp flashed you can only flash the new installer zip or the new installation method to update your TWRP (remember to flash again magisk or your system will not boot).
If you have some problems with backup, like 255 error or something similar please check this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/one...e-999-t3801632
For the Bacups use always "system_image" and "vendor_image" instead of "system" and "vendor".

I need the following logs in order to find issues.

start a terminal window and enter below commands to get the logs

When TWRP boots enter below commands in terminal:
Code:
adb shell "getprop" > getprop.txt
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log
adb shell "dmesg" > dmesg.log
adb logcat > logcat.txt
and post the files here.

Links will be in post #2

Under 6. Should we be using "fastboot flash recovery xxx.xxx" or the one from the post?

I might be able to test evening today.

Tried this method, but TWRP does not load. Stuck on this (image attached)
Reboot sticks to this screen again. Cannot access fastboot from here, but I can see my device from adb devices. Help me?

Edit: start by power on+volume down loads fastboot.. Phew... :)

Where are the logs. Please don't test and not provide logs. But thanks for informing test 0.3 doesn't work.
Just wondering how long you waited.
