Hello. You' re right I notice it too. I think you can try the app "Screen notifications" from the Play Store but I haven't tested it yet.

thank you! it works PERFECTLY!

If I have done everything right, I have extracted the kdz file (T-mobile Croatia) and here we have recovery.img and boot.img attached to this post!
I post them because someone may be able to build CWM recovery for us, so I would like to make his life easier if he decides to do so.

Buddy you are my hero! Now I can get some stuff done with syncing CM12 sources to build CWM and after that hopefully TWRP with one buddy from BUG Forums. For now on, priority is CWM and hopefully CM12(.1 is optional). I tested out with extracting boot.img and recovery.img directly from phone and didn't had success with it (failed to do some stuff with creating .mk files for phone).
Also thanks to OP for .kdz file, it shall work on any other network because it is very much clean ROM (Croatian T-Mobile, only have few apps which can be uninstalled without root).
Peace from owner which had this phone rooted.

Nice! If you compile a working cwm for a start, YOU are a hero! Feel free to ask for anything else I can do to help you with (but I know only little stuff).
I just want to mention that the thanks for the .kdz file goes to the guys I mention at the credits!

Seems that bootloader is locked. Fastboot oem unlock didn't work and didn't have luck with loki or bump either.

You mean you wanted to flash recovery and the locked bootloader prevented you? If this is the case try the app "flashify" from Play Store.
If you just mention it, well, it's good to know. :good:

I flashed the recovery, that's not the problem, booting into it is.
Someone else with more experience about unlocking bootloaders (and time) could have a try.
I'll upload the CM device files to the github tomorrow.

Actually there isn't problem with booting in recovery you just need to do this button combination
Power + vol down and when lg logo apears press combination again
This is how LG G3 goes to recovery and it should work here too
Edit: I should upload also CM device files and kernel to my github next week at collège so we should have all files on one github

You can reboot to recovery with apps that offer an advanceed reboot menu, too. Like Link2sd.
Though, I don't know if @manakeri is talking about something else like: try boot to recovery but the locked bootloader prevents you..

Exactly that. There is verification that the recovery's certificate matches original or something like that.

Here is new firmwares

Well seems that our bootloader isn't locked if I look via this app. Would give a try with CWM (currently building up from stratch, need some time to compile it) and see would it boot up somehow (key combo and this app)

failed to flash twrp ox 3.1 (https://www.fshare.vn/file/8AH9KRVS4URW). I tried flash it using twrp 3.0.2.0, but failed too

Well, this is interesting.. The step-by-step guide is a bit confusing though. I will download and try the 'ol good method of flashing ROM, gapps and supersu. Hope it works!

here you go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Km0FbYnea1aDdIaTEydElhUkk/view?usp=sharing

twrp has not made it to 3 ox you have to use a downgrade to get a fresh start using unbrick method, (keep flashable backup via flashify) get twrp installed with the new (old) boot loader, flash cm14+ext. and you are done.
if you had cm13 or the likes, please confirm if you CAN upgrade to 14 before ox people start trying to install without knowing if it even has android 6 (last update i saw on the branch was from june 7 so idk)
teamwin does not have twrp for the ox 3 on oneplus x yet (on their releases anyway) so you have to follow some other process to downgrade to a twrp'able os (and a backup) before trying yo install this
if i see any info from people who have been able to update (and if it has android 7) i'll try to make a video on the process (in white, Texan english)

Please remove this page.

Did you try boot into it:

Seems like the guide says you have to boot into it, not flash it.

You're right. I tried fastboot boot twrp_for_ox_3.1.0.img instead of fastboot flash recovery twrp_for_ox_3.1.0.img and it booted into twrp_for_ox_3.1.0. But it still return an error when flash CM14, the same of twrp 3.0.2.0.

Looks like a successful install to me. Could you provide twrp logs?

With whose permission did you post this build here ? Don't you think there was a reason that even after a complete build of CM14 it was still not posted to the forums ?
I am asking you, as politely as possible, to remove the links and this fake procedure, when N is ready, it will be shared, you might find phony builds or legit but non working ones on the interweebz, that doesn't mean it gives you the right to share it just because you think its cool, because its not.
Take it down.
EDIT: Sure, if you build yourself and want to share it then you're more than welcome.

And then they will cry if things are broken !! Take it down folk !

This Build was just a test build, what made u think that i will not post it here on xda if the rom booted? We, the team are working to make it work but yeah dont post the builds from afh here, will update u all for sure when its done. I think it was my mistake to not to make that build private. -_-

It flashes successfully but doesn't boot, goes back into recovery. Still, great work.

congrats for succesfull starter build
hats off !!!!! to you guys ([/B]developers off this rom) :good:

Where is Stock Recovery for OP5T?

I wanted to know to flash original firmware/update is it required to have original recovery or can it be done with twrp.
I can remember on the oneplus one twrp was sufficient for original firmware.

If you unlock the bootloader you will continue to get updates, but if you root the phone you will not get official update, you will flash full rom with twrp all times

Great job, but I never use it. I really need to learn a lot of things. Thank you so much.

@mauronofrio does this work for the T-Mobile variant?

Thank you so much for this, a must have!!

Does this work with oneplus 8 from t mobile?

I was able to ROOT Oneplus 5 with this tool, can this be used to ROOT Oneplus 8 as easy ?

Will this work for the T-Mobile variant? I'm on 10.5.8

did anyone try this on the T-Mobile oneplus 8?

After unlocking the bootloader (Oneplus 8; no branding) I flashed TWRP 3.4.0 and rooted using Magisk 20.4. After this the CAMERA app is not opening anymore though. And the AUTHY app is simply showing a blank screen. What should I do to fix this?
I don't necessarily need to keep the phone rooted, I only needed to do in order to restore some apps data with Titanium Backup. Once that is done if I unroot (not sure how just yet) will the camera and other apps start working perhaps?
Nevermind. After having tested various things I ended up rebooting the phone and that fixed it. thinking about it it started not working after I enabled the option "Magisk Hide". I guess the option requires a reboot even thought it's not mentioned.

[HELP] TWRP, Root, & Custom ROM

Sorry for the post, my question didn't really get answered on the General Q&A Nood Friendly Thread:
Xenophoresis said:
I have Android 9 and August 1, 2020 security patch on it (YouTube was mentioning security patches? dunno why).
I would like TWRP and a future goal of changing to Lineage OS/Tissot.
Which rooting guide can I follow?
( I got confused with the available threads.)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After posting, I tried follow this guide thread
I was able to do step 1 which is to unlock but, I don't know if I should still be flashing a Stock Fastboot ROM?
Also there is no link for TWRP, or which version of TWRP I should get...
The last time I rooted something was a Galaxy Note 2 back in 2012-ish so my relevant knowledge is definitely expired.
Please give me a lead on where to find the correct TWRP file and further instructions.

you want step by step guide to flash custom rom?
- You have unlocked bootloader?
- what OS version you are on at the moment ?
Dont worry i will help you in best of my knowledge i have been through what you are going after some time i learned answer question and we will begin

Yes, my bootloader is already unlocked and fastboot was enabled.
OS is stock Android 9, Aug 2020 security patch:

I was hoping to get instructions or help in English; I've watched his YouTube tutorial in Indian but I was afraid that I'd do something wrong because I didn't understand what he said.

You can follow the instructions provided for LOS:

Simply exchange the LOS installing part with the ROM of your choice.

- Install Twrp (download it from https://dl.twrp.me/tissot/) there are 2 files .zip and .img you would need fastboot and adb drivers https://androiddatahost.com/uq6us install adb minimal in location where of your choice copy twrpX.XXXX.img file beside adb/fastboot.exe , from start menu open command prompt right click run as administrator locate to adb/fastboot folder .
Power off your mi a1 when its powerd off hold down volume down and power button until you see fastboot mode on the phone connect it to pc wait for drivers to install let me know if you need in this regard. Inside command prompt run " fastboot devices " if you see device with bunch of numbers below than it means your phone is connected and drivers are working than enter this command " fastboot boot twrpXX.XXXX.img " it will take no more than 5 seconds your phone will turn on into twrp recovery there you can copy twrpxx.xxx.zip file to your internal storage or sd card flash it when its done restart -> Recovery.
Warning: After flashing twrp zip dont restart to system if you do your phone will show you message that phone has been destroyed so dont restart .
- Installing custom roms: download custom rom of your choice transfer it into internal or sd card from twrp install-locate to custom rom .zip file and flash it also keep in mind lots of roms didn't include gapps so you have to download it from opengapps(for android 8-10) and nikgapps(android 11). Flash gapps . Keep in mind after installing custom roms you will lose twrp recovery so if you want twrp at this stage go ahead and install it
- If you want root access download and flash magisk
Its always good practice to keep stock rom and xiaomi flash tool with you just in case if something goes wrong you can reflash stock rom and boot normally.
Let me know if you need help
