i dont know. I have installed Cyanogenmod and have to restore my stockfirmware because auf a bad vcf export. But if i dont touch the boot partition i cant start the stockfirmware after restore.
So i just want to be sure that nothing can happen if i restore /boot

so sorry, I have no idea, because I never flash CM before at all. But, there should be a guide on how to do without formatting boot partition. try to search.

Boot and recovery are on different partitions, and recovery had its own kernel.
You can wipe boot and still enter recovery -- that's what it's designed for.

[Q] Please Help!! My phone doesn't boot.

Hello, yesterday I tried to flash JellyBeer but when I formatted the /sdcard partition, the phone shut down and now it says:
E:could not mount /data to setup /data/media path!
When I flash the rom the phone just doesn't boot as I get bootloop on cyanogen boot animation.
Is it possible to flash roms using odin? Like converting the .rar file to .tar, don't know, just asking as stock are 1.7 GB
Thanks in advance.

Bricked - Data Partition

I accidentally deleted the data partition. Everything else works fine including Recovery/Fastboot. Normally I'd be using the Mega Unbrick Guide to restore the partition, but not an option right now for the 5 (128GB). Assistance would be appreciated. Maybe flashing a userdata.img would work?
I'd recommend you to completely wipe and flash Stock OOS from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003
That should sort all your problems related to partitioning. Let me know how it goes.

Already tried flashing the Full ROM earlier, but that doesn't fix the missing partition. Unless flashing with Stock Recovery would make a difference. Need a link to stock recovery to try that
Was looking into dumping partitions off a working OP5.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450045
Don't have a second OP5 (128GB) to dump partitions, but I did generate some .img files using this method. Optimally, flashing a proper userdata.img through fastboot should fix the partition, I believe.

fastboot format userdata ?

The partition doesn't exist right now. It cannot be mounted or formatted. If someone could use the guide above and pull a userdata.img from a 128GB OP5, pretty sure that would restore the partition if I flash it in fastboot.

Have you tried going into TWRP > Wipe> advance wipe > data >change or repair filesystem > change filesystem> ext4?
This should help.
You can also try restore the nandroid uploaded on my thread

Thanks that worked! And much simpler and faster. I didn't realize there was an easy way to repair the filesystem in TWRP (derp) but that's awesome.

OP6T partion A/B

Hello,
I read about partition A/B, but I would like to have more insight some points are not really clear in my head.
My OP6T is rooted on partition B, everything works fine on this partition
On partition A, It automatically boot into recovery
How can I have a fresh install on both partition ?
Does I have to root both partition ?
You don't have to root both partitions, your second partition is probably blank, you can flash a rom to that partition or just let it be, its not a must have for a working device and generally when you root magisk inserts intself into both partitions.

Ok, thank you for quick answer.
how do you flash a rom only on one partition ?
when you wipe in TWRP, does it wipe both or only one partition ?
I would like to have both partition at the same stage of update in case one get broken.
It is possible to make a copy of one partition to the other ?

Well the whole point of two partitions is to have one in the previous state if an update breaks the current one...
You can flash one of the fastboot roms or full zips available in the general section, but you may have to modify the zip files to only flash to a single slot as the zips currently flash to both slots.

that's my point, I want to copy my partition B to my partition A, then modify one or the other, for a period they will be at the same state but this will rapidly change

Only system / boot are concerned by the slot organization. Read general texts and tutorials about that and fastboot use. Everything needed is on the internet.
