Ok guys, this is a sureshot guide for
PROBLEM
* anyone wanting to decrypt their op3 but stuck at 1+ boot screen(Or not able to boot any custom ROMs.) and only able to restore twrp backups
* After using fastboot format userdata twrp and about phone shows only 32gb phone memory(where the hell is my rest of 32gb )
* Fastboot format userdata resulting in Stuck at boot screen or simply an unbrick trick to return to Stock OOS in unencrypted stage
SOLUTION
1. Use method 2 of Mega unbrick guide to restore your phone to stock partitions found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3405700
2. After the flashing is complete do not reboot the phone instead reboot directly into bootloader.
3. In fastboot mode flash modded twrp 3.0.2.22 using command ''fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'' found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=15934#downloads
4. Reboot directly into twrp and using mtp mode copy latest elemental x kernel or bluspark kernel zip for OOS and SYSTEM supersu.zip into the internal storage. System supersu.zip here OR directly proceed to step 8
https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.78-201609011115.zip
5. Now flash system supersu.zip and directly after that kernel.zip
6. Now again reboot to recovery directly and from twrp boot into system.
7. After boot up you system should be decrypted. You can check in security settings.
8.Reboot recovery and flash required firmware + modem zip found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/radio-modem-collection-flashable-zips-t3468628
9.wipe data +cache +dalvik +system
10. Flash any rom of your choice and go flashoholic, use multirom or whatever you want.
Pheww. Thanks.
Man, Finally the SystemRoot (V4A, MultiROM etc) as we discussed a couple of weeks back with this hassle at the Mega Unbrick and Decrypt guides threads...:highfive:
I saw your post on MultiROM but maybe it got moved I guess...
So are you able to cross flash anything now ?
thanks.

anything... even multirom works flawless.
I will give this a try, Or will try to Flash the EX then perform parts of this since they support Kexec, to see what works, I have data and lot of apps working them again is a real pita with my schedule...
Thanks but, this is basically what i have done to decrypt my op3, i just used the CypherOs ROM instead OxygenOs, fastboot format userdata, reboot to recovery, flash rom, flash elementalx, and i didnt flash Supersu(dont know if thats causing my problem, i dont think so), i also did fastboot format userdata without being stuck at boot logo and still no 32gb, dont know whats the problem

its different fastboot format userdata causes this Dont know why. I suggest method in the OP. Read carefully and follow it.

Aham, so the format userdata causes it, thanks for that. i want to ask you something, after restoring completely with Msmdownloadtool(method2) can i directly reboot to recovery then sideload CB 3.5.5 and then reboot to fastboot and continue with the tutorial? What im saying is my device is decrypted as long it doesnt boot, am i right?

Yes you can but you will be encrypted again. so after msm method reboot fastboot and flash modded twrp. reboot recovery flash CB or OOS. flash supersu flash kernel. Agin flash twrp.img from recovery itself and reboot recovery. After that reboot system and you are good to go. Make sure you have enough system space before flashing supersu and kernel. frow twrp file manager delete unneeded system apps 1st. DO NOT REBOOT in between.

you have to use qualcomm download mode by switching off your phone. pressing vol up button and connecting to usb.

TLDR: It's here and it may eat your data, and you will lose SuperSU root if currently installed. READ the install instructions carefully!

DO NOT RESTORE DATA FROM alpha builds of TWRP using RC1. You will probably lose all data including internal storage. If you need to restore a data backup from an alpha build, reinstall the alpha and restore using the alpha and make a new backup using RC1.
Note: Do not use if you have multiple users (including a guest user)
File Based Encryption (FBE) can be a bit tricky. If a restore doesn't work correctly, it can trigger an automatic wipe of your data. Sometimes TWRP will fail to prompt you to enter your password or otherwise fail to set up decrypt properly. If this happens, reboot TWRP. It seems to be some kind of timing issue and I haven't had time to track it down yet.
Pixel devices have 2 "slots" for ROMs / firmware. TWRP will detect whichever slot is currently active and use that slot for backup AND restore. There are buttons on the reboot page and under backup -> options to change slots. Changing the active slot will cause TWRP to switch which slot that TWRP is backing up or restoring. You can make a backup of slot A, switch to B, then restore the backup which will restore the backup of A to slot B. Changing the slot in TWRP also tells the bootloader to boot that slot.
The zip install method installs TWRP to both slots.
Installation:
If you already have TWRP installed: Download the latest zip and install the zip using TWRP.
If you do not already have TWRP installed: Download both the img and the zip. Copy the zip to your device. You will need to have fastboot binaries and the correct drivers installed. Power off your device completely. Hold volume down and turn on the device. Your device should now be in the bootloader. Connect the device to your PC. Open a command window and run the following command from the proper location:
fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img
This will temporarily boot TWRP on your device. If you are using a lockscreen pin/pattern/password and do not get prompted to enter your passord, reboot to the bootloader and try again. Go to install and browse to the zip and install the zip. If you are currently rooted with SuperSU, you will need to reflash the stock boot image before installing TWRP. After installing the stock boot image, follow the instructions for installing TWRP. Once TWRP is installed, grab the very latest SuperSU released on 2015-11-15 or later and install SuperSU.
If you accidently flash TWRP to your device using fastboot instead of temporarily booting the image, you will need to download the latest factory image for your device and reflash the boot image.
NOTE about 3.2.1-0: This version will decrypt Android 8.1, however the new image is built in Android 8.1 and may not be compatible with SuperSU and/or Magisk until they update their stuff. I have not tested. Good luck.
3.2.1-1 has working decrypt with the February security patch!
3.2.1-2 fixes some zip install errors
3.2.3-1 supports decrypting Android 9.0 Pie even with a pin / pattern / password set
How to install SuperSU SR5 on TWRP RC1: In TWRP tap on Advanced -> File Manager and scroll to and select the fstab.marlin or fstab.sailfish file and then delete it.
Amazing work sir! I think this is what we've all been waiting for! I mean I know I've been checking here frequently, hoping for this
Wow and so it begins, great work thanks!
Thanks

No I haven't downloaded anything yet. Not going to until I can have supersu alongside twrp.
Why does installation of this remove SuperSU?
Aren't they supposed to be used side-by-side?
And it also warns not to install if expecting important calls.
Does it prevent the phone apps from operating or what?
I understand everything else.

"In other words, Chainfire's systemless root method modifies the same binary that TWRP needs to modify in order to get data decryption working. Therefore, when you flash TWRP you are overwriting the changes made to the init binary by Chainfire's systemless root method. While this is a minor setback, thanks to the dual partition nature of the Pixel (and future devices shipping with Nougat), TWRP has some nifty new capabilities."
I'm pretty sure he's just saying dont chance something going wrong like it bootlooping or wiping data if you need your phone for something important like a phone call. Tough to answer said phonecall in a boot loop.

I get exactly the same. Even after several attempts at booting the img, i don't get prompted to enter the PIN / passphrase as stated in instructions hence why the data is encrypted i presume.

I finally got passed that issue. I had to flash factory images and erase everything to the point of being at setup screen. I didn't set anything up, no network or wifi, skipped Google sign in, no password and also no Google functions activated. This led to an unencrypted setup, so after turning on dev settings and Android debugging I booted up the image. Now my issue is the zip to install twrp for sailfish is corrupt and if you try to unzip it there are no files in it....I downloaded the marline zip and there are files when unzipped....
Maybe I'm an asshole but I cNt for the life of me flash this I download the .IMG I even changed name to TWRP.img but it won't flash boot at all just an error hmmmmm maybe I'm just dumb?

My phone won't be here till tomorrow but as I understand it you need to use these steps (someone correct me if I'm wrong)
Reboot bootloader
Fastboot boot (twrp).img
Reboot recovery
In recovery, flash the twrp flashable .zip file
Reboot recovery
Flash the SuperSU sr4.zip
Reboot
Profit????

OK thanks, wondering if root will work with November update or of I need to roll back first. Prior to SU update today Nov update didn't work with the auto cf root
Hello everyone.
My phone is currently on V409N30f_00_LGU_KR_OP_0126.kdz, i was successful in unlocking it via 9008 method, and just a moment ago i was also successful in patching it with magisk (thanks to great guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/root-eu-lmv405ebw-magisk.3912959/ ). I had some problems, mainly i didn't know that you actually need proper abl_a/abl_b to boot the OS (i thought it's not a part of boot process, unless you push some buttons, but that doesn't seem to be the case). My final problem is that i can't seem to be able to get a proper permanent fastboot installed, and by proxy i can't get TWRP as well. Therefore i have couple of questions here:
1. How to get proper fastboot on an encrypted phone with android Q? Do i have to get rid of the encryption? How?
2. From what I understand, the boot partition needs to be patched to include TWRP, similar to how magisk was prepared - is there guide how to do that?
3. Why the phone fails to boot if i try to sideload/fastboot to TWRP image provided on this forum?
Thanks in advance for all your support

Follow this link for the 30f boot_a with twrp injected.
Let me try to clarify a bit; The engineering v35 abl is Oreo. So if you have it installed, the phone won't boot, unless your OS is Oreo (which it isn't).
So the purpose of having that abl isn't to boot the phone, it's only to be used for things like 'fastboot oem unlock' or 'fastboot flash abl_a abl_original_a.img'
it's not to boot the phone. And yes, absolutely it's a part of the boot process abl stands for 'android boot loader'.
So to make use of that v35 eng abl (after you've unlocked the boot loader), would be to flash it to the inactive slot on the phone (most people that would be abl_b). That way, you can use twrp to switch slots, use fastboot, then switch back to the active slot.
To use that proved boot_twrp_a.img, you need to 1st, save your original boot partition, just in case. Then flash it (using qfil) to boot_a (assuming that's your active slot). Then, don't boot the device, go directly to recovery. Once in twrp, format data. Then reboot recovery. Then flash magisk and dm_verity.
then u should be all set.
cheers

Thanks for the TWRP image, i'm gonna flash it after weekend, when i'll have acces to the phone and will report back
One more question here though, are fastboot flashable files also flashable via qfil ?

Yes, absolutely. With qfil you can pretty much flash anything to any partition. That's why it's wise to be very very cautious, you could flash the wrong image to a partition, it won't stop you, and it could be too big of an image for that partition but qfil will keep writing it and write over the neighboring partition(s)!
Alright,
I went in and flashed v35 eng abl via qfill into abl_a. That gave me fasboot, which i used to do:
fastboot flash boot_b boot-twrp-30f_a.img (the twrp image i've got from you)
and
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_b blank_vbmeta.img
Then, i switched over to b slot, and rebooted straight to recovery.
In TWRP, i wiped data with formatting it, rebooted to recovery again (didn't got asked for password, i think that's a good thing), then installed magisk.zip via sideload (didn't have it on sd card) and Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip afterwards.
I still have 2 problems though:
1. I can't mount vendor - in the log i'm getting "Failed to mount /vendor" (unknown error 150)
2. If i try to boot to system it loops over, i have to wait till it switches over to a slot, which gives me fastboot back, which i'm using to boot to recovery on slot B.
Should i just YOLO it and try to install Lineage directly from here (as i have TWRP)? That's my end goal...
EDIT:
I just noticed by DDing off the vendor_a it's reeeeeally different form vendor_b, and i'm considering copying stuff over, especially since i already did KDZ couple of times, so i'm not afraid of starting over.
EDIT: this let me mount /vendor finally, but boot to OS still loops.

First thing I see is that you flashed, assuming what you typed above is exactly what you did, vbmeta wrong.
it should be fastboot --disa... --disa... flash vbmeta_b vbmeta_blank.img
The 1st parameter, after 'flash' should be the partition you want to flash to. Then, after that, the image you want to flash to it.
2nd, just ignore the 'can't mount vendor' in the output of when you zip install magisk or dm_verity, it's irrelevant.
So why is it bootlooping when trying to get to system? Possibly the incorrect vbmeta command? Or maybe you didn't format data? (for format, you have to type in 'yes'). Possibly it's not the right image for the os? It is, beyond doubt, 30f that you flashed?
cheers

But that's what i did - i didn't change the command in my command and i copy-pasted it straight from command line and it says vbmeta_b everywhere...

Yup, i didn't change name of the boot image you provided so i won't make any mistake here. Also, i noticed that after i restored from KDZ it forced me to grant access to internet and downloaded some kind of patches - can it be that those affected the booting sequence somehow and i should just take clean dump of abl_b for example so that it can be patched properly?
Oh, just now it occured to me, i can basically take two dumps, one after kdz restore and the other after booting it, then compare them with md5 and i'll know if it actually does something to them...
EDIT: one more question, is KDZ restoring both slots properly? or only the currently active one?

hmmmm, confusing. So u speak of clean dump abl_b so it can be patched... but we never patch abl (a or b).
and no, the 'downloaded some kind of patches' are just updates to their specific apps, it's not making any change to 'system'.
when using lgup, you should first use Part D/L and choose all partitions (you can clearly see it's doing both a & b by the list). Also, if doing a 'refurbish', it should be updating both slots. Only 'upgrade' would do one side and then switch to that side.
cheers
Okay, so, step-by step, i'll try it once again and will also be taking notes meanwhile
First, i restored from KDZ by refurbishing V409N30f_00_LGU_KR_OP_0126.kdz to be exact.
Just now i flashed eng35 into abl_a which got me into fastboot no problem - the fastboot screens says SECURE BOOT is "yes" and DEVICE STATE "unlocked" which seems okay i guess...
Flashing the TWRP image you provided with
fastboot flash boot_b boot-twrp-30f_a.img
I intend to leave abl_a with fastboot for the future and so i plan to boot from b side
Now the vbmeta:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_b blank_vbmeta.img
went in just fine.
Reboothing to recovery - set the b slot to be active:
fastboot set_active b
rebooting form the phone buttons directly into recovery...Got TWRP 3.3.1-0 - asks for password, i have to cancel it obviously. Swiping to allow modifications and going directly to Wipe->Format Data->yes - works and done, but complains about /vendor and /data/media/TWRP/.twrps.
Going back a bit and rebooting TWRP to recovery again - This time it doesn't ask me for password so i think i got rid of the encryption.
Flashing Magisk-v22-0.zip from their webpage, i'm clicking on add more zips and adding Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip as well, clicking on reboot system aaaaand bootloop
Okay good, making progress for sure.when I get back to my computer I'll post a link to the magisk and DM verity I use that I know will work. Not positive that those are the problem, but everything else seems to be exactly what you should be doing.

Flashing Magisk-v22-0.zip from their webpage, i'm clicking on add more zips and adding Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip as well, clicking on reboot system aaaaand bootloop

check this folder for the version of Magiisk I know works. Don't remember why, but have read the latest version of Magisk is a problem somehow. Pretty sure if you follow the steps as u did above, with this magisk, it will work.
cheers
Hiho, thanks for sticking with me.
I did everything the same except for using the Magisk you provided, and when i finally got to it, it bootlooped all the same
I tried to flash stuff in different order and stuff, but accomplished nothing.
And then I remembered i read somewhere that the OTA only does update one slot at a time, so i thought maybe Refurbish behaves the same and flashes the other slot (in my case it'd be A since i'm trying TWRP and stuff on B)
I started comparing partitions, and almost all of them were the same, except:

d192b99fd2cc8a48dd3f106d9f0f8233 /dev/block/by-name/system_b
Obviously abl_a is different since i installed v35 eng to it, but the rest should be the same, right?
Since they're not, can i just dd from a to be and be done with it? A slot always booted fine, but since I'm installing eng into it I never tried to do twrp and stuff there...
Aaaand it works
So the trick was just to make sure that the proper OS is actually here, and then, well, everything works like a charm i guess I used newer magisk, and so far everything looks okay
Now i'm gonna put in Lineage, but this should be easy
This also means that Refubish doesn't flash everything as we thought it's supposed to be

yeah the only one I trust to flash everything would be part D/L. When doing it, you select ea individual partition, and they are all listed, both a and b slots.
The purpose of the 'dual' slots (and no recovery partition any longer) is to update 1 slot at a time, while the other slot is the older OS version. That's the way OTA's are suppose to happen. But if you use LGUP and do a Part D/L, then both sides have the same OS.
it's confusing. Good u got it working!

Hi AsltLies,
I could see that you sent a 30f boot_a image with TWRP injected on it for Scorcerer. I'm on identical situation. Only difference that i want to stay on Pie. Probably i cant use that file as i'm on Pie.
Could you point me please how do i get to inject TWRP on a boot_a pie firmware. My devide and situation is identical as for Mr. Scorcerer. V409N, korea version.
I would like to try this guide here as it seems very confiable
Thanks in advance.

If you want to stay on Pie, your situation is easier, you can just follow the guide to unlock and then use fastboot to boot twrp, use 'ramdisk inject' to inject the twrp image. Reboot to recovery, format data, reboot recovery again, flash magisk and dm_verity.

Didn't realize it was available, but follow for the 20n boot+magisk boot image. This Link
I'd suggest using qfil to (first backup your original boot partition) to flash this to your active boot partition. Then exit edl mode and use the key combo to go directly to recovery (now twrp). Format data, then reboot recovery, then flash magisk and dm_verity. All set!

Hi AsltLies,
Thanks for both of informations. Let me try to explain a bit more. I am able to root the device with magisk. I made a boot_a patched using magisk apk and inject diretly into boot_a using qfill. It works like a charm. No problem at all.
The problem is that there are something wrong with viper4android using magisk. I want the older 2.3.4 driver and it has a kind of problem using convolver and system inject. User app method does not work.
I own a LG V20 with viper4android on it, and i can confirm that there are something wrong with viper on LG V40. My LG V20 is not a Bang & Olufsen and not even Merodian tune. Maybe the problem lies on this meridian audio tuned on LG V40. Chances are great about that. Devices sound differents and i have to accept this. But...
I would like to try the method that i used to root the LGV20 : Supersu and not magisk. I dont care about safety net. I dont use it. And a second problem with magisk : two apk refuse to open with magisk root method. I know they work with rooted devices but using rootcloack on xposed and xposed is very hard to get to work on magisk ( very limited )
So, i would like to use SuperSu method and not magisk to inject the old 2.3.4 viper4android directly on TWRP. I know how i can do it to works using the original drive and apk from the original devs. ( I dont like the new version 2.7 )
So, sorry for the long explanation, but do you know how i can install TWRP without to use magisk? ( That [TWRP] LG V40 / Judypn does not work. I only get bootloop ).
Thanks again.
In time: Maybe i'm doing something wrong to install TWRP. Do i need to instal it in both slots ( a and b? Do i need to access TWRP using the slot that is not active and make the zips install from there and not from the active slot? It's a kind of confusion for me. I already read a lot about it, but i'm still in doubt how it really works. I'm not interested to use another ROM, just stock.

Well... i got to install TWRP in slot a. No more encrypt data. Install Selinux ( SuperSu ) too. Reboot to recovery and no more ask for password, so it works. Data continue to be there. TWRP see the Selinux root, but it always return to TWRP. It does not matter reboot to system, recovery and power off, it always return to TWRP. So, i go to the EDL mode, install v35eng on abl_a, install ablpiestock again to abl_a and...TWRP again...I cant boot.

Hmmm, not sure yet what's going on but I updated the link above in prev post, it now points to a gdrive folder called 20n.
There's a new boot image in it that has just twrp injected, no magisk. Try that and see if it doesn't help. Be sure though of which is your active slot. The way a treble enabled device does ota updates is it will update the inactive slot, with the new version, switch slots, and then boots the new version. What that means is the OLD version is now the inactive slot.
So if u are on 20n, be sure to flash the new image to that slot, not the old one. If need be, use twrp or fastboot (getvar all) will tell you which slot is active.
cheers
Download:
twrp-3.6.0_11-0-barbet.img
This is my unofficial built, fully working with A12 with some remarks:
- internal storage decryption works but you have to set Screen lock to None or Swipe in Android Settings -> Security. If Pattern, Pin or Password are set storage decryption and MTP will not work until TeamWin fixes the code for A12.
- nandroid backup/restore works but you might need to reboot Android a couple of times after restore until dalvic-cache fully rebuilds. Until then you will see black home screen background instead of your wallpaper... Just keep restarting until everything is back to normal.
- DON'T MESS(WIPE) WITH METADATA in TWRP Advanced Wipe!!! If you do you can't boot Android until formatting data = factory reset.
DO NOT FLASH THIS TWRP IMAGE IN FASTBOOT!!!
Install TWRP form within itself after boot with fastboot.
Not tested on A11 so might have some bugs...
recovery.log and logcat are helpful.
To boot it connect USB and run these commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp-3.6.0_11-0-barbet.img
While in recovery you can install it permanently on the boot partitions by going to Advanced and pressing Flash current TWRP. Root will be lost so after that you have to reboot to bootloader again, fastboot boot your magisk patched boot.img, direct patch boot with magisk to get root back and reboot. Done. You have root and TWRP on device. To get to TWRP:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Big thanks to @bigbiff, @Captain_Throwback and the entire TeamWin for their work!

device tree - my GitHub
recovery - TeamWin GitHub
You have no idea how excited I am this was posted.. Everyday I check github and Google for something! Thank you so much for this!

What ROM are you running? Lineage? Looks like the kernel is the problem:

and the touchscreen drivers doesn't load:
Code:

Is the recovery flashed or fastbooted? Also you did not answer what android you have.
Log shows recovery is flashed and trying to load touchscreen drivers from vendor partition. If it is fastbooted then something else is wrong, device reports normal reboot to recovery, not boot from bootloader and touchscreen drivers are messed up.
I will need recovery.log too.

That was just your TWRP flashed to boot via fastboot, then reboot-bootloader then select recovery. that was with latest A11 build freshly flashed.
I also couldn't get the touchscreen to work. I flashed using:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot_b twrp-3.6.0_11-0-barbet.img
fastboot flash boot_a twrp-3.6.0_11-0-barbet.img
I was softlocked to the Recovery partition until I flashed back..

Yep, you're on track.
fastboot flash boot overwrites the /boot partition, including the kernel, so all you'd be able to boot to would be TWRP. To fix this, download the factory image and reflash the stock boot image.
fastboot boot twrp.img forces a "live" boot of TWRP via USB; to install it, you'd have to patch the boot image through TWRP settings.

Touchscreen wasn't working b/c A11 bootloader reports different bootreason value(guessing...) than A12(on what I test) and the script that loads the appropriate touchscreen drivers for the booted kernel got confused...
Fixed it... Now script reads booted kernel cmdline which has special twrp fastboot portion and should never load wrong drivers.
Waiting for a stable version but good job! Well appreciated.
My pin worked on Android 11 when loading the twrp image, I was able to install the recovery and do the Direct install with magisk after loading my master_boot.img (magisk patched img from stock barbet).
I haven't done much else yet. But this looks good so far!
Hell ya! Installed while running Lineage and Magisk rooted! Thanks for this!

One question.
If it's for A12, why is it labled twrp-3.6.0_11-0-barbet.img?
I thought _11 indicated android version?
Shouldn't be twrp-3.6.0_12-0-barbet.img?

So if someone wants to know how to use lineageos with full GAPS, just follow the link below.
Then being so STUPID, for no need and no reason I continued following the same instructions and tried to root the phone.
And then this disaster happened that boot is looping and I cannot run: fastboot reboot fastboot.
Meaning that I cannot repair my phone.
All I can do is push the volume down and go to recovery mode. That's all.
My PC can send fastboot commands but I cannot go to the menu where it's chinese and english and from which I could run commands to flash my phone properly back to where it was.

Thank you Savio, but this is my main issue, I cannot enter fastbootD.
Whether using the tool "fastboot enhance" or using the command line. I cannot reach FastboodD.
When I try to reach this using the tool, it's looping with no error log.
And when I try from CMS:
C:\Users\me\Downloads\from dumper> fastboot reboot fastboot
Rebooting into fastboot OKAY [ 0.000s]
< waiting for any device >
fastboot: error: Failed to boot into userspace fastboot; one or more components might be unbootable.
It also still sounds like your recovery.img and/r boot.img still may be corrupted.
this needs to MATCH in BOTH slots A & B
Try this:

This is where your fatal mistake was.... the red line above is incorrect !
It should have been, "adb reboot bootloader" THEN "fastboot boot magisk_patched.img"
you never want to straight FLASH any modified boot image when working with an a/b partition device.. or pretty much ANY device running the dynamic partition scheme. This is because of the way the partitions are laid out. Something about flashing a modified boot.img directly breaks things... BUT you had a DOUBLE FLAW in yours because you not only flashed a modified boot img directly, you ALSO flashed "magisk_patched.img" to android, which does not have a file named "magisk_patched.img" in its manifest.... android has "boot.img" in its manifest. Understand?? I have seen this flaw ALL OVER the place and no one seems to notice that, so im hoping several ppl finally realize the MAJOR error that they are making.
The android manifest has the EXACT names of every file to be loaded into the system, and any deviations to that list must be incorporated into the BUILD structure when making the os. In other words, say you wanted to build a custom flavor of android from scratch, and have the recovery be installed as a homemade "TWRP" build. Now im talking about FULL BUILD not a port, or remake of an already built OS... I am meaning "1st install... everything from the ground, up.... similar to what lineage does" ... THAT is where the origin android manifest is built... and all updates/custom mods/roms that are made from the original that you created, MUST FOLLOW the exact same file structure, and naming scheme that is in your original manifest. recovery.img needs to be named recovery.img .... system.img needs to be named system.img .... in the case of most of these boot loop issues (BUT NOT ALL) alot of ppl either find some guide written by a person who has never rooted a device in their life, but felt inclined to serve up some untested set of steps that had a fatal flaw they overlooked. THAT is what happened here.
Whoever wrote those steps obviously never tried them before writing them, or they would have had the same result as you. You CANNOT have a completely different named boot image FLASHED to the boot partition! Those steps are instructing you to FLASH, "magisk_patched.img" to the boot partition, where android is expecting "boot.img" ... if those steps were at all to be taken to be the real intention of the author then he would have needed to add a line prior instructing the reader to "rename the file from "magisk_patched.img" and make it "boot.img" ... then in the next step it would have been "fastboot flash boot boot.img" ... but i still DO NOT recommend that, as like i said it can cause errors. If at all possible you always want to BOOT the patched boot.img file 1st, because if there is any problems with it or android rejects it, all you have to do is restart the phone, and it will boot back up to the UNMODIFIED boot.img ! ... but if you FLASH it, then it has no old boot.img to revert to... thus the boot loop..... (bad boot.img ..... reset ..... bad boot.img ..... reset ... bad boot.img ..... reset...) <-Bootloop.
When you BOOT the patched image, though and it loads into the OS with no problems, then you have confirmation that the file was patched properly and is compatible with your OS. NOW you can simply open the Magisk app, and it will see your phone as already rooted, so you can then tap the install button, and then MAGISK will install itself correctly to the right partition, AND make a backup of the file that is from your stock os.
hope that sheds some light and also more ppl take time to read this! Ill make a regular post about it shortly for more visibility.

This is where your fatal mistake was.... the red line above is incorrect !
It should have been, "adb reboot bootloader" THEN "fastboot boot magisk_patched.img"
you never want to straight FLASH any modified boot image when working with an a/b partition device.. or pretty much ANY device running the dynamic partition scheme. This is because of the way the partitions are laid out. Something about flashing a modified boot.img directly breaks things... BUT you had a DOUBLE FLAW in yours because you not only flashed a modified boot img directly, you ALSO flashed "magisk_patched.img" to android, which does not have a file named "magisk_patched.img" in its manifest.... android has "boot.img" in its manifest. Understand?? I have seen this flaw ALL OVER the place and no one seems to notice that, so im hoping several ppl finally realize the MAJOR error that they are making.
The android manifest has the EXACT names of every file to be loaded into the system, and any deviations to that list must be incorporated into the BUILD structure when making the os. In other words, say you wanted to build a custom flavor of android from scratch, and have the recovery be installed as a homemade "TWRP" build. Now im talking about FULL BUILD not a port, or remake of an already built OS... I am meaning "1st install... everything from the ground, up.... similar to what lineage does" ... THAT is where the origin android manifest is built... and all updates/custom mods/roms that are made from the original that you created, MUST FOLLOW the exact same file structure, and naming scheme that is in your original manifest. recovery.img needs to be named recovery.img .... system.img needs to be named system.img .... in the case of most of these boot loop issues (BUT NOT ALL) alot of ppl either find some guide written by a person who has never rooted a device in their life, but felt inclined to serve up some untested set of steps that had a fatal flaw they overlooked. THAT is what happened here.

Thank you, BB, for the clear explanations about respecting the structure of the partitions and not messing directly with the boot partition using a modified img.
Do I need to reach the conclusion that my phone is broken forever and there is nothing I can do to fix it?
I thought that as long as I reach the recovery mode, I can still fix it.
If you have a brilliant solution just as brilliant as your teaching, could you please help me restoring my phone to a functional state?
And BTW, it was a TRIPLE FLAW, because I had a wonderful lineageos 19 working like a charm with GAPS and I just wanted to root it for no reason.
Many thanks for your efforts.
Damn. Nice to know Lineage works well on this phone with extensive tweaking. GSI's can be pretty unstable from what I've seen, missing cell reception and the like.
Yeah, flashing that image killed the phone. I've seen some people recover by flipping their boot slot to the other one and forcing the phone to boot the stock boot there. But if you've flashed to both slots, you're most likely SOL and need a MSM flash. In which case, you could try flashing the complete stock boot image for your OOS version you were on before moving to GSI to both slots as sort of a last resort, but even then I've only seen minimal success.

I appreciate your help a lot.
I tried all the commands you showed, but I keep going back to this error:
fastboot: error: Failed to boot into userspace fastboot; one or more components might be unbootable.
I guess it is like a computer. The BIOS move to the Master Boot Record and it moves to the operating system.
It my case, the boot record or boot loader is broken.

I understand that MSM is no longer available.
Any other direction how I can just fix the booting process?
And this is another error I received which gets closer to the source of the problem:
FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Bad Buffer
I’m assuming Adb does not work?
why don't we get boot_debug and vendor_boot_debug images to debug and then boot into fastbootd and flash it again, why waste time researching these unrelated things.

Yes right, adb doesn't work, only fastboot is still alive

Thanks for taking time to answer.
Could you be more specific?

[TOOL] Oppo/Realme Flash .OFP File on Bootloader
A tool to flash .ofp files in bootloader mode without needing MSM Tool, an alternative to official realme tool. THE DEVICE MUST HAVE THE BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED Features soft unbrick install stock firmware switch device region Credits...
forum.xda-developers.com
WHICH BROUGHT ME BACK TO FASTBOOTD
AND FROM THERE I USED FASTBOOT ENHANCED AND FLASHED PAYLOAD.BIN
AND MY PHONE IS BACK EXACTLY AS IT WAS WHEN I PURCHASED IT
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the reasons why I decided to wipe this stupid oxygen os is because they limited my notifications to 5 seconds WTF ?!!
I didn't mention that I have previously bricked my first OnePlus 10 pro completely, so much so that I received a new one from the provider.
I flashed it successfully using Lineageos 19 and brickED it again trying to root it.
Now, I'll be looking for a solution to remove this stupid f%#$%# limit for Whatsapp notification. Any suggestion?
And I'll wait for an advanced modified ROM for OnePlus 10 PRO.
That's true that it worked very well using Lineageos 19, but text/sms didn't work and I saw that ROAMING was greyed out, so I cannot say if it works or not.
A BIG THANK TO ANYBODY WHO TRIED TO HELP ME.
BOTTOM LINE, ALWAYS HELP YOURSELF FIRST AND NEVER GIVE UP.
I spent over 100 hours on this phone, and here I am back from scratch, but at least with a WORKING PHONE.

THIS WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE !
After I thought everything was back, I noticed that the battery stopped charging.
I flashed again Lineageos and it worked but yet the battery didn't charge.
I re run the python script but this time using another OFP and it showed successful.
And yet it successfully killed my phone. Completely dead for the second time.
Hundreds of $ and of hours for a F^&& phone.
Huge lesson to learn here about choices.

Damn. I think what happened is you lost your persist.img when initially flashing the first ofp, that thing controls low level stuff like fingerprint unlock and charger cable auth I've seen on these forums. I'm not sure there's a way to get it back either outside of a MSM Flash, certainly haven't seen one here.

It's okay to spend a little money. It's very risky to do it yourself
Did you managed to get fingerprint working on gsi ?
