Is this confirmed to work? I tried flashing the TWRP for the Blu Pure XL and the phone boot looped. I was able to unlock the bootloader ADB but after flashing TWRP the phone bootlooped.

flash the original recovery (from fastboot mode).
loading recovery and system loading - are two different things...
p.s. recovery was tested.

give me the boot.img and recovery.img files from your firmware. and the file /proc/emmc from the system
and I'll make TWRP for you...

It works. Thank you jemmini!
Edit: It appears I spoke too soon. Recovery works, but now the phone is in a constant boot loop.
2nd update: By some miracle, I got the phone to stop looping and just stay on recovery by randomly pressing buttons.

During the loop, I get this message.

after unlocking the bootloader you need for the first time to boot the system with the original recovery. and only after that to flash the TWRP...

jemmini, do you have a backup of the stock rom? If so, can you upload it? Thank you.

Can you provide step by step instructions?
I imagine it would be something like this.
1. Developer Options > Enable OEM Unlock
2. Enable USB Debugging
3. Reboot to bootloader
4. fastboot oem unlock
5. fastboot reboot? (boot back into system) << i think this is where people are getting boot loop
6. reboot to bootloader
7. fastboot flash recovery (twrp recovery.img)
8. reboot to recovery
9. profit?

I'm planning on trying out TWRP later today. Before I do that, what files should I grab (as a backup) and from where should I grab them? I'm happy to upload them for others, too.

So I will be able to root the phone with this? After unlocking bootloader and flashing twrp I flash supersu?

@jemmini I've never heard of the command fastboot oem unlock confirm before. Is this a command to run or do you mean we should do a fastboot getvar all and check the bootloader unlock status for a yes? Sorry for the newbie question. I've never needed to do this with a nexus.

The confirmation he means is after you execute the unlock command, on the phone screen asks you to confirm by press volume up. That all.

The same thing happened to me.
After I was able to get into recovery using your steps, I formated ONLY the /data partition and rebooted. The phone then booted up properly after that.
I then downloaded the SuperSU ZIP file and rooted my phone through recovery .
I hope this helps someone.

So I unlocked bootloader and also got the bootloop. I flashed this firmware to fix it, but I found out the radio included is not the same as the US version, so now the sim cards don't work.
The firmware image have a file called "MT6753_Android_scatter.txt" which determine what partition to flash. Base on this guide http://www.mtkroms.com/2015/03/how-to-restore-lost-imei-on-any.html, the "secro" partition being replaced may be what caused the issue, so looked like that's what I have unchecked before flashing.

I just discovered that you can back the secro and many other partition within TWRP. I don't know if that alone will fix the sim problem. WRONG

How to relock bootloader.

Download the latest FW files from from http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-5/oneplus_5_oxygenos_4.5.8/
Install TWRP and Magisk if you don't have them yet.
Magisk should allow you to slide "OEM unlocking" to "enabled" in developer settings (THIS IS IMPORTANT)
Reboot to fastboot
Flash stock recovery via fastboot.
Run locking via fastboot flashing lock command
Allow it to reboot and upon start up it will say device corrupted (THIS IS NORMAL)
Boot to recovery via the warning start screen.
Once in recovery, sideload latest FW.
Profit.

I'm coming from Motorola/Lenovo and I cannot imagine that it is so simple to unlock and relock the bootloader. When you unlock the bootloader on Moto phones you void your warranty. I am so scared from my experience with Motorola that I haven't tried it yet for my OP5.
Can someone please give me some reassurance?

I can relate to that. I have personally owned two Moto E devices along with the OnePlus One and OnePlus 5, and I can assure that it's way too easy with the latter. I have had really bad experience with Moto, be it updates, unlocking, or downgrading. OnePlus is like a second-Nexus to me, when it comes to such stuff. :good:

Thanks for sharing mate.
I`ve alredy rooted with SuperSu and TWRP installed. How do I flash Magisk over SuperSu ?
And I`ve tried to flash latest FW (OOS 4.5.10 Full Zip) with TWRP, but whenever I try to reboot it always says " No OS Installed .......".
I`ve tried several times, but every time it remains the same.
I totally new to OP devices. It would be very helpful, if you share how to revert back to stock OOS and lock the bootloader.

You should make sure you get a pristine backup at hand, or a RUU appropriate to your device. Otherwise you'll never be able toreturn to a full stock system.
On the U11 it is possible to boot TWRP from fastboot, without flashing it and thus without touching stock recovery. That way I've been able to flash Magisk what's coming with MagiskSU and the possibility to use some Modules. And all without altering the system or replacing stock recovery in the first place.

Connect phone to PC, boot into bootloader mode and type fastboot boot name_of_recovery.img that'll just boot the custom recovery as opposed to flashing it, that way you can make a nandroid backup of all partitions including stock recovery.

The guys method of using recovery to backup recovery will only work on Philz… Not twrp as it does not always backup stock recovery properly. The proper way to backup stock recovery is..
1. Root your phone, which can be done by towel root or by just booting a recovery like he said,
fastboot boot twrporwhatever.img, then flash supersu
2. Boot phone that has stock recovery
3. adb shell
4. su "watch your phone to grant root adb access if you haven't ever done it"
5. dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
6. This will put flashable recovery.img on your internal sd card. Copy this and save it for later
7. "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" will get you back to stock recovery, "fastboot flash recovery twrporwhatever.img" to flash custom recovery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

If possible and a TWRP recovery is available one should boot to bootloader and try if the command fastboot boot name_of_twrp.img works. Make sure to NOT grant r/w at first boot and leave it ro. Now you can perform a backup of stock recovery, boot and system image (not system partition!) to obtain a pristine backup.
All else will alter system partitions md5 and the backup won't be pristine any longer. Due to block based OTA policy introduced by Google you won't be able to OTA without a pristine system image.

no "fastboot" (like a "one s", etc) on this phone. no fastboot usb
"fastboot" command work in "bootloader menu" and "download mode"
fastboot oem only in download mode

Hello. Please explain what I am doing wrong. I will download what is in points. I download this adb something, but it does not work. Nothing starts. Does not communicate with the phone. OCB. Could anyone write this guide so that he could understand and act?

Couldn't install Update fix

if you have any problems with updating just follow this instructions
First of all you need unlocked bootloader
1.Download and install adb and drivers (if you did it then skip this)
2. download stock rom there - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/ota-v9-6-5-0-odimife-t3823445
(i recommenting to download your current rom version)
3.download ota flasher from here - https://downloadmirror.co/2CVe/mi-a2-OTAFlasher.zip
4.extract ota flasher and .img files to the same folder
5.switch off your phone and go to Fatsboot mode (press power + volume down button for 8sec)
6.connect your phone to pc and double click to 'OTAflasher.bat'
7.wait for finish
8. restart your phone and update it
this method worked for me and i wanted to share it with you guyz
if you need any help lemme know

fastboot flashing unlock_critical

but this will earse all my data right?

Yes .. if I remember correctly this unlock_critical will erase data. That's why it is advised to do it right after unlocking bootloader.
BTW .. the OTA Flasher that is linked at item no. 3, also available at originally posted on XDA - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78123332&postcount=457

The classic way to install TWRP、Magisk and more

Installing magisk_patched is unnecessary.
download ADB here
download TWRP here
download magisk here
first ,we must unlock bootloader.
Settings->About phone->tap at Build number 7 times.Now,we unlocked the "Developer options". open it and turn the OEM unlocking on.
Reboot to bootloader&Run this command on your computer with ADB:
fastboot oem unlock
Use Volume key to select&Power key to enter.
(Ensure you have fully backed up all your files first because the device will be wiped back to default factory state but with an unlocked bootloader)
reboot to bootloder&connect us phone to computer.
Run this command on your computer with ADB:
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-2-guacamole.img
then,the phone will reboot to TWRP,but this not end for install, it will be broke after you reboot again, we must install the twrp-installer-3.3.1-2-guacamole.zip In this TWRP.
after this step we got the TWRP installed.
then use TWRP to install the last release magisk.
now we got magisk installed & SafetyNet-pass.
you can install xposed or not .
thanks all&enjoy.

This guide completely misses unlocking the bootloader, changing the option in developer settings to OEM unlock is NOT unlocking the bootloader. Please amend your guide to show the missing steps:
Running the following in the bootloader is how to correctly unlock the bootloader :
fastboot devices
Make sure your device is reported correctly
fastboot oem unlock
(Ensure you have fully backed up all your files first because the device will be wiped back to default factory state but with an unlocked bootloader)

reedit now，thx

May want to fix Ture to True and after flashing the TWRP-installer reboot back to TWRP to make sure it sticks(Recovery Installed) before you flash Magisk zip.

Don't forget to flash to both slots to get everything to stick.

Its pretty hard to fail safetynet. I've flashed many different things on this phone and never failed it.

JeSUS! FINALLY! After trying out that other method of rooting, installing twrp and magisk (by using patched images) THIS worked. I updated to 9.5.6 (back to stock, but still bootloader unlocked) and then followed this guide to rooting this phone. Finally! Whew! Wish I had done this from the start. I'm able to go get some sleep now! Thanks OP!

So many great minds here! Best community for a specified device that ive ever had the pleasure of being a part of. Can't wait to try this when my unlock token comes in ?

fixed my post so this method i dont have to worry about slots a and b right? Then what about when an update comes. Do i flash the full update or can i do an OTA? If i flash a full .zip will i loose my data? I'm coming from a pixel 2 xl.

Can someone please clarify. If I do this on slot A, how do I change over to Slot B to do it?
