Impossible to update my One Plus 2 (A2001) to Oxygen 2.1.1 (Bootloop)

Hello, guys! I've a strange problem on my OP2 (A2001).
The new update seems impossible to install on my phone, i've tried all the guides that i've found online, but nothing, everytime is a bootloop. I've tried installing the full rom 2.1.1 in twrp, after that i've tried the full rom 2.1.0 with the ota package, so i've tried the same two things unrooting my phone and with stock recovery. The only way to boot my phone is to install the version 2.1.0.
The last solution that i've not tried is to wipe even data partition instead only system, cache and dalvik.
Someone has the same problem? Have you found a solution?
Thank you

My upgrade sequence
1) copy 2.1.0 full file (1.1 gb) and the ota update file 44mb file to device
2) like always, take a nandroid backup
3) Dont wipe anything. Add 2.1.0 zip + 2.1.1 ota zip + supersu 2.49 zip to flash queue and flash them all together.
4) wipe caches. Reboot.
It worked for me and retained all my data.
All the best. :good:

I've followed your sequence nothing (again bootloop)... is there any difference between supersu 2.46 and 2.49?
Thank you!

Using this method, I get an RPC error once Google Play updates to 6.0.2 that prevents me from downloading any more apps at all. It's quite annoying. Even the 'fix' for it (uninstalling updates, clearing cache, rebooting to recovery & clearing dalvik/cache from there) doesn't fix it permanently

For RPC error the fix is easy!
Go to settings >application > Play Store >storage>Clear Data & Clear Cache.
Go to accounts >Google >Remove account.
Reboot device.
Again Settings>Account >Google >Log In

Anyway, I managed to fix it (and very nearly bricked my phone in the process). I originally restored System only, in an attempt to keep my existing data. It didn't work (kept getting an Unknown Play Services error). Then I restored Data in a separate session, and I kept getting the RPC error which would not go away once Play Store updated to 6.0.2 or whatever.
I then did some things which nearly bricked my phone, and just restored the whole archive in one session, which seems to have fixed the issue. Touch wood.

No such luck. This is quite annoying, since you can't just go ahead and downgrade back to 5.1 once you've done this

No it's not. It's a recovery image that somebody (I assume the OP) made of their own install.

[dupe]

Can I flash this? I have an xt1092 and chnaged it to the brazilian model so that I could have the 6.0 update. If I flash this via twrp, will it brick my phone?

UK XT1092, flashed this by just
Code:
fastboot boot twrp
and phone signal. Probably caused by me having the US XT1095 modem installed so I flash an old UK modem and after rebooting I have 4G signal.
Booted twrp again and flashed BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip and got stuck on bootloader.
Booted twrp again and flash BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip and root-boot-6.0-xt1092.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/root-root-moto-x-2014-android-t3249105
Seems to be working.

Booting issue -

I used Flashfire to flash a radio.img without checking flash bootloader.
I can get into the bootloader and twrp.
When wiping the device and flashing another rom or restoring a backup my 6p does not get passed the custom rom splash screen.
I was thinking of trying to fastboot flash system/data/cache of the March update and see if it boots.
I know I messed up. don't even know if it was because I didn't check the bootloader option in Flashfire. Just my guess because everything was working fine beforehand.
Any help or ideas would be welcome.

Hey... You said you wiped your device? What did you wipe in TWRP?
Try to install a ROM from TWRP. Once it's over go in wipe and do a factory reset. Reboot. It should likely fix your issue.
Good luck...

Hey thanks for the reply.
Yeah, I wiped data, system, cache. Just the standard - I still have internal storage intact.
Its just strange, I've used Flashfire before but not for flashing a radio and it worked out fine.
I am on 3.79 and used Flashfire to flash 3.78. Went to the bootloader just to check and it still shows 3.79. Just my fault . I didn't check flash bootloader in the Flashfire settings. Atleast that's what I am guessing. Things were just fine before

Well, if nothing work, maybe backup your internal storage and flash a factory image... Then in recovery do a factory reset afterward. Who knows. Going back to stock shouldn't hurt anyway.
Good luck...

@dirtyreturn
I've used FF to flash only radio files to the modem partition many times without issue. You untick all but modem, and you untick inject SU and preserve recovery. Not sure what went wrong for you. As mentioned , you should be able to manually flash stock and if you're careful, you'll still have your data. All your settings will be reset, but the userdata will be there. You can even use flash-all.bat, but open it in a text editor and remove the "-w" flag so it will not wipe your userdata. The Google page where you get the full factory image will have instructions.

Thanks. It was obviously my fault somehow.
I do remember there being only one option to tick.
Using fastboot back to stock did the trick and made me realize maybe I should hold off on using Flashfire for a bit.

Nah, FF is awesome and a major time-saver. Just read up on the documentation here and become familiar with it.

Guide to update rooted phone?

Hello, I have my phone rooted and would like to update to NMJ51B, but I'm not exactly sure how to go about it and don't want to risk bricking my phone again! What would be the exact process to go about this? I'd like to do it without wiping my phone if possible. While I love having root, OTA updates seem to be a real headache. Any help would be appreciated!

You have to re-flash the stock boot.img from your current build via fastboot, then you should be good to go. Check for an update in the settings and update. Shouldn't have to wipe anything
You can get the boot image from the essential site or from the firmware dumps in the rom section of the essential forum. I hope this helps!

Ok, I was thinking I'd have to wipe the phone to flash a stock image. Thanks for the info!

Uh, the very first thing it says when flashing the stock rom is "erasing userdata." Are you saying it's NOT going to wipe my phone?
Annnnd, it wiped everything, including the backup I created with TWRP. For future reference, does anyone have a step by step that does NOT wipe data?

You don't have to flash the whole package just the boot.img. But it sounds as if you already wiped. I should have clarified. In the guide to how to root your essential, if you read through, others have explained how to unroot without wiping.

Stuck in spinning circles after updating to OOS 5.0 Oreo OTA

Hello! I just updated to the latest OTA of OOS 5.0 and now the phone is just stuck on the screen where the white dots spin around I tried clearing cache, wiped "System settings" via Oxygen Recovery and no luck. I sideloaded the zip to my device and flashed it over the one I had on it previously. I followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/guide-restore-data-stuck-bootloop-n-o-t3724515 without any results! This is ridiculous. I just wanted to update to Oreo. Here are my phone details: https://imgur.com/a/n4rtR I am unsure what to try next. Should I wipe /system and flash the previous ROM zip file and try that? I can see my files but they are completely encrypted thanks to OOS, but only can I see them in Oxygen Recovery; TWRP shows nothing. Suggestions would be appreciated, thank you.

Had the same problem, had to format Data partition to get it working. Lost all data though

I was on OOS 4.5.15 with Magisk root and TWRP. Last night, uninstalled Magisk and I flashed stock recovery to update my phone. Even though I cleared cache and Dalvik, boot loop happened.
Only after a full reset, the phone boot normally. Since I had all important files backed up, I did not loose anything but it still bothers me. There should have been a more streamlined update process.

I completely bricked my device with the update, so i used this tutorial : https://www.androidexplained.com/oneplus-5-unbrick-return-stock/
I lost all my data but now it work like a charm and i was able to update properly to Oreo

You have to do a full wipe (system, data, internal storage, and both cache) when going from Nougat to Oreo. That is the only way.

If so, how could they offer an OTA for customers? Don't get me wrong, I am just wondering.

From what I know, you have to be unrooted and on stock recovery for that to work.

I had unrooted my phone using magisk uninstaller and flashed stock recovery. It has something to do with encryption, but I am not quite sure.
