I didn't see your post before you changed it, but my phone is unlocked and I had no trouble with either updating to Pie or installing and using Magisk for SU etc.

Didn't even try went back to stock 8.1, without rebooting I adb pushed the Pie update and then installed that and rebooted. Then I rebooted to Fastboot and booted into the TWRP and installed Magisk, cleared cache/dalvik, rebooted and everything worked fine.
Did not try to decrypt it.

Yes, verity is disabled, but that is because the bootloader is unlocked. There is nothing you can do about that to my knowledge except to hide the notification.

I believe it is because there is no official signed recovery released for moto X4 yet. Since we unlock the bootloader we are unable to relock without official recovery and remove the warning.

It applies to both. SuperSu and Magisk. I am rooted with SuperSU. There is already a thread on Magisk which states for this. And being a SueprSu user for years, I have seen this myself on my BLN-AL10B375 to B379 and BLN-L21C185C360 to BLN-L21C185C365.

Yes, dload replaces stock boot and recovery so that will work.

Got a weird problem. If i flash this boot.img for 365 I can't enter my phone. It boots up, i can enter my pin, but the encryption password doesn't work! It's very strange, cause I've never changed it since first setup! Any idea? Or do you have another boot img for b 365? Thanks

My boot.img provided in repository thread is for BLN-L21C432B365 build, as listed in OP and in my post there; what's your build number? An unmatching build could be the cause of this. For example, recovery for BLN-L21C432B365, differs from BLL-L21C130B365 - the B365 at the end is equal, but the build variant is different and so incompatible

3.Fixed screen flickering issue in day light
4.General bug fixes and improvements

Improved HDR mode
Any thoughts about the improved HDR mode? Didn't receive the update yet (Germany) but would be nice if someone could do before/after photos.
I also get that update.
If i download it.. can i just not update right away?

Thanks in advance

Root users beware: issues with newer TWRP version!
This article only applies to users running TWRP recovery on a rooted device. Don't have TWRP or don't know what this means? You're probably fine.
If you've recently installed or updated TWRP recovery, you might have faced that you can't install anything with it, and that the start screen is immediately shown when updating your device via Oxygen Updater.
Why is this happening to me?
From what it seems, this issue is caused by TWRP versions 3.2.2-0 and 3.2.3-0 being incompatible with the storage encryption technology present on OnePlus devices.
Normally, you're asked to enter your PIN or unlock pattern before installing an update / flashing something yourself. However, these new TWRP versions don't prompt for it anymore. Therefore, accessing the storage space of your device is no longer possible.
This is really frustrating, as almost all of your updates / .zip files are stored there. But luckily, there is a solution:
How do I fix this issue?
First of all, if you don't have encryption turned on or are not facing this issue, do not proceed with the steps below since flashing a new version of TWRP can be risky.
Now for the the solution: it involves downgrading TWRP to an earlier version, in which installing updates still worked correctly.
The downgrade can be done either by using a computer with the fastboot command, or by using flashing apps such as the Official TWRP app or Flashify on your device itself.
These are the steps you'll need to do:
- Make sure to download TWRP version 3.2.1-1 for your specific device. This is the version which worked fine, and is still fairly recent.
- Flash the version of TWRP using your method of choice. For fastboot users, connect your device to your computer in Fastboot mode and type fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-1-<yourdevice>.img. When using any of the flashing apps, browse to the correct TWRP.img file and flash it.
- Reboot your device. You'll now be able to access the working version of TWRP
- Do not update your TWRP version until it has been confirmed that this issue has been resolved.
Thanks to Peter Aarnoutse for reporting this issue.
So since twrp latest works fine on my device with encryption included, I can just start the update?

Didn't disable my pattern lock..worked just fine.
I downloaded the zip online and installed through TWRP. Just make sure to reinstall your TWRP installer after installing the full rom OTA (wipe cache/dalvik first), then reboot back into TWRP and install Magisk..then boot into system.

[Pie][OB2] How to fix "Your device is corrupt" on boot

Hi, i share my personnal experience, struggled to figure out what was wrong after flashing OB2 but it seems it's all good now.
Did this from OpenBeta2, no specific firmware required i guess as long as the tool we will use is there to erase everything.
I used the official 3.2.3.0 twrp to avoid strange encryption thing (link here)
a user reported this bug because of a custom recovery
1. Download MSMDownloadTool. The 4 files in the MEGA links seems to be requrired so download as zip the whole thing.
2. Follow the guide i quoted then check my instructions
credit to @Fivegates
Guide how to revive your op6:
First of all, you need to access to fastboot mode, if you can't , contact Oneplus support, then have a windows computer and download these file and drivers qualcomm ( https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347798730) and extract in one folder.
After you have all the file ready, plug in the phone to the computer, go in device manager and under port (COM) disinstall qualcomm one (oneplus 6) and then unplug.
Now you have to go in Windows test mode to not let him install default drivers, so:
windows key (on keyboard) + X, windows powershell (or normal prompt) administrator and write and enter: bcdedit /set testsigning on ( you will repeat the same process with "off" to stop the test mode after you will finish to do all the things).
Reboot the system and you could see in bottom right corner the test mode, now you are ready to install properly drivers.
Power off the phone, then hold for 5 seconds vol up and plug the usb to computer. Now you have to see US8_BULK as new device connected and you can also see in device manager; if you can't notice it, repeat the process until you see it (power on, power off, hold...) there is a full youtube guide for op5 and it's the same process (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpLvmID1wdI)
Right click con US8_BULK in device manager and update drivers by system files (go to the folder's drivers you had extracted before).
Now you should see qualcomm drivers under port (COM).
You are ready to let the tool to do all the stuff, so let plugged the phone, always powered off, right click on msmdownloadtool and execute as administrator.
You should see your device and click start to begin the process; if it gives you some error (like sahara or something else), unplug, power on, power off and the plug it again, now it should be fine.
And that's it, the tool will do all the work and, at the end, you will have like a brand new phone ready to a new setup.
EDIT: if you are stucked in bootloader, you have only to power off and continue with the part: ... hold for 5 seconds vol up... (it happened in page 4)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
lil shortcut guide (might be wrong lol check @Fivegates post if scared)
# go to Device manager, delete your op6 drivers
# enable the test mode with
Code:
bcdedit /set testsigning on
(don't forget to turn off when you're done)
# reboot your pc
# open msmdownload
# power off phone, press vol up and connect phone to pc
# upgrade mode ticked, click once on the only line you see and hit START
# wait
# unplug when it's done
3. Once process is over the phone is back stock 5.1.5 with locked bootloader
4. update to OB2 via local update in settings
Comprehensive guide to update manually
5. unlock your bootloader
6. you should be able to boot on OB2 without that red annoying popup, flash a twrp and magisk whatever

Oneplus 6 root qualcomm crash dump

So i recently updated to android pie. I rooted my Oneplus 6 a while ago, but it was removed with an OTA update. Now i'm in fastboot with an unlocked bootloader attempting to boot into twrp-3.2.3-0-enchilada.img using the command "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-enchilada.img". After doing this instead of taking me to the twrp menu it takes me to a qualcomm crash dump screen. Is there something i'm doing wrong. Thanks!

if you are on stock firmware, why do you want twrp? Unless you are going to aosp rom or want to decrypt the phone, twrp is not needed then.

Downgrade from 9.0.2 to 9.0.1?

Hi, just tried to do this by flashing the old zip trough TWRP, but i always end to boot in recovery, maybe i'm doing something wrong...?
I tried this today and happened the same, i guess you have to clean flash to downgrade.
Also a tip, if you got stuck in recovery and yet cannot decrypt (doesn't ask for password/pin in TWRP), boot to fastboot mode, use the command "fastboot boot <the img file name for twrp>" so that you can boot directly to the img file from your PC. This way it will ask for your password.

Hi, just tried to do this by flashing the old zip trough TWRP, but i always end to boot in recovery, maybe i'm doing something wrong...?

You might try flashing again when you get booted back to TWRP. That way, you can get 9.01 flashed to both slots if it's not already. No guarantees, but it's worth a try.

I tried this way too but keep getting booted back to TWRP. Even did a wipe of the caches, system and data (not internal storage).
Is there anything I can still try?

Backup all your data outside the phone and flash a fastboot rom, it worked with me stuck in fastboot and I got back from that horrible 9.0.2

Keyboard continuously crash 'cause the new gesture system, that have longer animations and the recent app one loses the vibration feedback and it' s also a lot confusing.
Anyway you can read the same things in the ota's thread, unfortunately are widespread problems

I think they pushed the update too fast from beta to stable... But yes, agree with the gestures bug... Its a fact, but the other stuff is good

Can you link me to the exact fastboot rom you flashed? Some said I have to use the downgrade zip from OnePlus to Oreo 5.1.1 then only upgrade to 9.0.1. The OP of the fastboot rom said the rom is not for downgrading.
Did you downgrade to Oreo first or directly flash the 9.0.1 fastboot rom?

I've wiped everything, then downgraded to Pie directly, but I was in a slightly different situation (only fastboot available).
Just to be sure flash the Oreo one and then upgrade to Pie.
With the whole A/B partition layout it should be easier to downgrade too right?
