Yes, I know this Problem - you can with the fastbootrom flash the Andriod 9 Version from onplus 6 (6t similar)

Use fastboot and change into the folder with unzip "imges.zip" - its one of the subfolders.

fastboot -w

Step 3
Start Smartphone from bootloader

The oneplus start in Android 9 Stockrom!
Finish - you can install a recovery or other ...

@Dieter42 Ok first I would like to try something else then I will come back to fastboot.

But first after installing Android 9 I try to install UT with installer and when it finishes I get stuck at boot screen.

CyBerT

And I get stuck at boot screen because newer version of UT does not work with OP 6, and that is why I flashed mobian in the first place!!!

CyBerT

@Dieter42 Ok back to this particular fastboot issue; could I leave the bootloader as it is and flash UT on a and Mobian on b? Would I be able to boot both? List of commands would be much appreciated.

Thanks Guys.

hello, @dieter42
I meet the same probleme.
So I tried to made the fastboot flash, but i received this answer :

Sending 'aop_a' (180 KB) OKAY [ 0.010s]
Writing 'aop_a' FAILED (remote: 'Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions')
fastboot: error: Command failed

Perhaps i miss something...

@DJac Which distribution did you use ? I use Manjaro, before I have try with Ubuntu and I get the same Problem.

DJac

I am on Debian13.
but I have also problems to instal UBports.
I will try with Mint later (but it is a debian disto too).
you think it could come from the PC ?
I will try on windows (msmbootloader) but I can't install the drivers...

Hello, I meet difficulties to flash the recovery on oneplus6.
I notice that in can't flash the recovery using

~~fastboot flash recovery file.img~~

But, it works using :

fastboot flash boot file.img

If you comes from any linuxOS (PostmarketOS or Mobian), flash the dtbo too.
It works with the one of /e/OS (https://images.ecloud.global/community/enchilada/) you found it in the recovery zip file.

Using this way, i came back from mobian to OxygèneOS... And Ubuntu touch !
