@andorinhariver Okay, I've tinkered a bit with my device and I don't think this is a UT related issue.
I'm not sure really why, but the Oneplus 6 seems to just generally have a lot of trouble trying to boot to other OSes.
You just have to try and try and try over and over again.. would be helpful if there were logs of any kind showing what's wrong. Bafflingly, going into the recovery mode works just fine.
