Hi guys, been using my rooted but otherwise stock OOS rom with TWRP and Magisk for the past few weeks. Today I decided to take the plunge and try either the Lineage OS or Resurrection Remix roms.
I'm using the latest OFFICIAL TWRP.
So I decrypted following the instructions to flash "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip", then format data. All went well, so I then sent over the ROMS I wanted to try out. I started with the official ResurrectionRemix. Bootloop. Then the unofficial LineageOS. Bootloop.
Ok, well I guess I'm not gonna get to use any of the cool new OS's for awhile. I'll install the full stock firmware zip so I can have a working phone again. Bootloop.
Now when I say bootloop, the phone is booting to the BootAnimation and just repeating it. It shows the proper boot animation for whatever zip I have installed (resurrection/LOS/OOS), but it stays on there for up to 20 minutes before I have to hard reboot to the recovery again.
I decided to install the stock recovery trying a few methods. I first tried the ALL-IN-ONE tool. It said it flashed the recovery fine, so I booted to the recovery and after staying on a black screen for too long, the language options came up and I sighed a breath of relief. But before I could select English with the volume buttons, it rebooted by itself. It did this again when I manually entered recovery. So I figured maybe the tool flashed the wrong version, so I googled stock recovery for OnePlus 5, I found a few random links for stock recoveries for the OP5 and flashed them, but they more or less do the same thing or not boot at all.
I've tried changing the filesystem for both Data and System using any combinations of EXT4 and F2FS. Everything results in boot animation bootloops.
I have been flashing Roms since the Samsung Galaxy S3 and every phone since and never had any problems.
Currently when trying to install the stock Full OOS official zip with TWRP, the phone won't even go to the boot animation, it only goes to a black screen with the top LED in a light blue color.
I have also tried every version of TWRP there is for the OnePlus 5. Unofficial, Official, 3.1.1-0 and 3.1.1-1.
So I guess my question is....What filesystem is each partition supposed to be on and for which OS?
Lineage based:
System: ?
Data: ?
OOS Based:
System: ?
Data: ?
And any ideas on getting my phone running again?
And anyone have an official confirmed working version of the stock recovery? The one from ALL-IN-ONE TOOL doesn't work for me. It loads the language selection, then the screen goes black with a light blue LED on the top of the phone.
Actually I'm getting that on some roms instead of the bootanimation, like FreedomOOS. What does it mean when you have a black screen and a white LED?
Man, I really thought I was getting somewhere. If I boot into TWRP, change the Data partition to "F2FS", then flash the stock recovery, the stock recovery will boot, however, when inside the stock recovery and I try to flash the stock zip, it says "Flashing, don't turn off your device" for about 5 seconds and then goes back to the list of roms on the SD card, not having flashed anything at all.
Ok, I have the official stock recovery from the OnePlus site, but still can't use it. Here is was happens depending on how I left it with TWRP:
System: F2FS
DATA: F2FS
- Stock recovery will load after some time, freeze, then the screen goes black with white LED on top.
System: EXT4
DATA: F2FS
- Stock recovery loads fine, I can go through the settings and install from SD card, but when I do it says "Flashing, don't turn off your device" for about 5 seconds and then goes back to the list of roms on the SD card, not having flashed anything at all.
System: EXT4
DATA: F2FS
- If I try to flash stock rom through TWRP, it just boot loops on the animation forever.
I have now also tried flashing the stock boot.img, but no difference.
I have 2 things you can try!
First, replace the bootloader with stock and do a factory reset:
1. flash the stock recovery over
2. then in fastboot mode enter, fastboot oem lock (This forces the phone to wipe cache and data, and also do a complete reset)
Did it work? if yes YAY if not go to Second!
Second if your system.img is ****ed up you have to replace it!
Download the newest version of the stock rom from oneplus link here
Unpack it
research how to use an extractor to convert the system.new.dat to system.img
once thats completed enter fastboot mode and flash the new system.img over with Fastboot flash system system.img
now go into recovery and do a factory reset and wipe cache, and dalvik
Please reply back wether or not this work
"Ihave 2 things you can try! First, replace the bootloader with stock and do a factory reset..."
Is the bootloader simply the boot.img?
After doing the first thing, it simply says that the device is corrupt and will not boot. But it is locked again.
But I will have to unlock it again to do any further flashing.
Hmm, I think I may have gotten it. After unlocking again, flashing the stock recovery and boot.img, then locking again and wiping in the stock recovery, I have finally booted into the stock rom.
I still have no idea what went wrong, and I really want to know, so that in the future I can flash other Roms, like LineageOS.
I mean, I followed the steps exactly.
If it says the device is corrupt it simply means you got something else besides stock rom.
So now unlock it and try the system.img instead
It was because I still had TWRP with the stock rom.
I got it working though, thanks for your help.
Do you have any idea on what might have went wrong when trying to flash the lineageOS based roms and why it got messed up so royally?
Great to hear you fixed it ^_^
Probably some minor bug, if you wanna try installing lineageos again use the 3.1.1 TWRP build that supports backups and do a full backup so you don't have to go thru all this again
---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------
Not really just try again but remember to use TWRP 3.1.1, as 3.1.0 don't support backup and probably have been part of your problem
If your trying again and gets it successfully installed could you do me a favor and test if Drivedroid works on it? And pm me the result, I'm looking for a rom where Drivedroid will work... Haven't found one so far
You know, I did do a backup with the OFFICIAL TWRP, but it also resulted in a bootloop. I made the backup after decrypting, so I don't know why it bootlopped.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/development/rom-unified-lineageos-7-1-2-t3635483
Is this the one you tried installing?
I tried like every ROM at one point yesterday, but I think I started with
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/development/rom-resurrection-remix-n-7-1-2-t3636578
Did you remember Gapps?
Also in some cases its better not to root before you have the custom rom running, you usually only need a custom bootloader like TWRP
Yeah, I tried with Gapps, and I never rooted before first trying to boot.
As of yesterday Ressurrection remix, released the first official stable build so try again your should'nt have any problems if you follow the guide 100%
Ever find a solution? I'm stuck here now. Can't get any ROM to boot up, they all get stuck on the boot animation
Bump. I am also stuck in this state
I have a US Oneplus2 that is stuck on the animation when it boots. I can get into TWRP and Fastboot, latest TWRP works and can also use an older version that I had.
I made a TWRP backup that I pulled off onto another computer. I then installed OOS 3.5.1 (I think) to do some testing. Once I was done testing, I decided I wanted the latest lineage as my backup was a 6 month old version of the latest at that time. I used TWRP to wipe the data, cache, and system to then install the latest Lineage 14.1 11/24/17 and gapps mini and micro (tested both). It gets to the lineage boot animation and the ball goes back and forth forever. I have left it over night and it's still going. I have rebooted the device, installed lineage several times, moved to 12/1/17 today with the same results.
After messing with it for hours and days, I decided to just put the TWRP backup back on the phone and then update from there. Well... my custom animation is load but the animation is also going forever.
Looking for some help on what might be wrong with the phone, thanks.
Make sure everything is formatted as ext4 and update firmware to 3.6.1 just to rule it out.
I would use the latest twrp.
I go to format tick all the boxes and clear everything then go to reboot > recovery. Once back in twrp copy the ROM and gapps across from pc install ROM and gapps together, wipe cache and dalvik reboot.
I'm in the process of doing that now.
The TWRP that I'm using is 3.1.1-0 which looks to be the latest. I am working with OOS 3.5.8 but will look at downloading 3.6.1. I am working to get Lineage 14.1 on there once everything is stable.
I ran into another weird is when using the qualcomm recovery tool:
My method is to enable ADB, enable OEM Unlock, enable Advanced Reboot.
Reboot into fastboot
Fastboot oem unlock: is successful
Fastboot reboot
I then go through renabling ADB and Advanced Reboot, OEM Unlock is still enabled.
I then reboot into fastboot
Fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-oneplus2.img
This completes successfully and then I fastboot reboot.
I have tried several times to get into TWRP but I keep getting the stock recovery.
I have tried to reflash recovery but nothing ever changes.
Is there possibly something wrong with the OEM unlock that says it was successful?
How do I go about troubleshooting this?
Ok, I fixed that and install OOS 3.6.1 and then was able to install TWRP 3.1.1-0.
I then wanted to install Lineage 14.1:
I then formatted Cache, System, Data, Dalvik... everything but internal. Should I wipe internal as well?
I copied over linage 14.1 and open_gapps for the same build micro.
I now am back to getting the Lineage Boot animation.
Thanks for helping since I'm trying to get Lineage to boot.

Internal doesn't really matter to be honest, did you check they data and system are formatted as ext4.
It is in twrp advanced wipe options.
Did it ever boot ?
I did doubt check the data and system are formatted as ext4.
I let it sit for 3-4 hours and didn't see any progress.
Try a different rom. There are a lot of lineage based roms around.
I tried that and am getting the same results. Even if I flash a full TWRP backup from a time when I had it known to be working it happens.
I've tested this with 3 different roms now. My latest attempt has been to update TWRP to 3.2.1 and then install lineage 14.1 20171208. I also tested with Paranoid and Carbon because they were near the top of my list not because I know anything about them.
The phone just never gets past the boot animation. If I reboot to recovery is there a log I can pull to see what the issue is?
Thanks
Would like to see if anyone has any thoughts. If I run OOS I can use the phone but as of right now I can't use any other rom.
Is there any advanced fastboot or wipes that can be done to get it to boot. Is there any type of debugging that will show me what's happening when it tries to boot.
Just trying to bump this, I really need a way to debug this problem. Besides running OOS, I have a feeling this device is bricked and the mega unbrick guide doesn't work.
Also looks like if I try to put Kali on top of the base 3.5.8, the phone goes into the animation loop. So any change after OOS on the device puts it into an animation loop.
Is there a way the system or boot locked? Even thought I can TWRP anything onto the phone without errors.
Hey!
I've got the same issue it seems, phone just sticks to boot animation when flashing any other ROM than OOS 3.6.1.
Any update?
EDIT :
problem was with the persist.img
Flashed a different firm file and it was resolved

OOS does not refuse to boot if a mountable partition is corrupt. This is not the case with lineage. If a mountable partition is corrupt and the corresponding fstab entry does not allow lineage to format and somehow mount it then init never proceeds
Try flashing this file: https://glassrom.botstack.host/firmware/oos-3.6.1-firmware-signed.zip and try again
Note that this file reboots the device after the flash is done so don't use twrp queue to flash this file. Flash this file last
---------- Post added at 17:45 ---------- Previous post was at 17:34 ----------
Alternatively this is a method I don't recommend to beginners because they accidentally give twrp logs to devs without realising it
You can get logs by making the forcing the device to "crash" through the power button
Here's how it's done: you boot the non-booting ROM and wait for about a minute. Then press power + volume down while it's on the bootanimation. You have to hold it until you see the oneplus logo and boot to twrp
TWRP's kernel will recover the last booted kernel's log from ram and place it in /sys/fs/pstore
First you have to open the log yourself to check if it's valid. The file is console-ramoops-0. All other log files in that location are invalid for your specific issue
Now for an ordinary user this is hard. They can't tell if the log is a recovery log or a ROM log. Since we're dealing with official lineageos we assume selinux would be enforcing
You want to search for this string "permissive=1". On Linux just do cat console-ramoops-0 | grep "audit" (quotes are part of the command)
If you're on windows then you can download Linux and get the logs. Stop bothering me
If you see the string "permissive=1" in the log you have accidentally fetched a recovery log
Go back and boot again and wait for about a minute if selinux is permissive
The string should read
"permissive=0"
That means selinux is enforcing and this is indeed a ROM log
Send this log here
Hello,
Was this problem ever solved? I am experiencing the very same thing with every single ROM i have tried so far. TWRP is installed, I can install all ROMS but when I try to boot the phone, it just won't get passed the booting animation.
Thank you
As the title says, i can't to seen successfully boot any android pie/android 10 based rom on max pro m1.
>bootloader already unofficially unlocked.
but during erasing process, i accidentally booted into recovery from where i booted into system , where encryption started again.
>so i booted back to twrp, format data then flashed decrypt.zip
> then flashed havoc 9.0 based rom, gapps then >wipe from twrp itself.
> rom boots fine after boot logo,but after welcome screen, google loading screen comes after which screen goes blank black and finally shutdowns after few minutes.

Still same issue, just after rom boot logo finished loading, the phone just goes blank black.
what should i do ? Asked many threads,telegram groups, nobody is replying /helping, everyone is just ignoring it.
Same problem here but goes off when connected to WiFi. Please reply If anyone got a fix for this

So you don't use havoc anymore? Or did you first flash stock, update to pie, then flash havoc? I'm stuck too... Won't let me flash havoc, need to get firmware 16 or something.
Try factory reset or wipe data
i got the same issue and still can't not flash any custom rom, the same thing happen to my phone when i flash any custom rom 8 9 or 10, i changed recovery already but it didn't work
Hello everybody.
Twice I tried to install LineageOS 18 on my 6T, equipped with latest OxygenOS/Android 11 version, without any success despite having followed several tutorials on Youtube and on websites.
Two days ago I unlocked the bootloader, I restarted the phone from the PC in Fastboot mode and I tried to install the TWRP recovery, always getting an error and when it seemed that I had succeeded the phone restarted showing the message "Qualcomm Crashdump" and the phone was dead.
Fortunately, a Wipe Data from the Recovery allowed me to get the 6T working again.
Last night I tried again by installing the LineageOS recovery first, I restarted the phone and I realized that it was in bootloop.
At this point I could only restart it in Recovery or Fastboot mode, without being able to start the 6T correctly; not even a wipe data helped me.
At that point I used the MSM download Tool, with which I was able to reinstall OxygenOS v9.xx and restart the 6T, then updating it to OxygenOS 11.
The drawback now is that when I turn on the phone it takes over a minute to boot (the two dots around the OnePlus symbol make a good 37 laps, after which the phone starts up and works perfectly).
How can I fix this slow boot problem?
And why has it become so difficult to install a custom ROM on the 6T? It occurs to me that OnePlus has deliberately complicated things to hinder modding.

Thanks for replies.
I must add this point: my 6T has OxygenOS v11.1.1.1; maybe this the reason of the problem? Maybe OnePlus did something that screws any modding attempt?
I simply followed the instructions found on YouTube, in the LineageOS' Fajita page and installed TWRP, but my 6T went in "Qualcomm Crashdump" and TWRP was not working → phone bricked.
Then I've tried installing, in the same way via ADB and Fastoot commands the Lineage Recovery, that has worked but when I tried to boot system, keeping OxygenOS, the phone went in bootloop.
So where is the error/fault?
Please, help me with a step-by-step tutorial that lead me to successfully install TWRP and LineageOS on my 6T.

OnePlus definitely didn't do anything to make it harder. You need to fastboot boot twrp.img then flash the twrp installer zip. I'll attach both In next post. Reboot to recovery. Then install OOS, twrp installer, reboot to recovery. Install oos again, twrp installer again, reboot to recovery. Now install lineage, twrp installer, reboot to recovery. Install lineage again, twrp installer again, reboot to recovery. Factory reset and wipe data by typing yes. Boot to system
The img is for fastboot boot
The zip is for installing in twrp
Thanks for your reply.
I'm still wondering how to speed up the boot.

There is clearly something wrong, as my 6T's boot is slow.
Furthermore, the Recovery of the previous message is the one I downloaded three days ago and that made me go to the 6T in Qualcomm Crashdump.
I repeat my request: where can I find a safe and updated guide that explains how to install LineageOS without risk?
If you can't fastboot boot into that twrp on a11 without crash dumping there is something really wrong

You sure you didn't try 3.6.0_9?
Clearing your cache might help with current boot. But once you install a new os everything will run smooth like it should
Thank you for the advice.
1) I've downloaded "twrp-3.6.0_9-0-fajita.img" and tried to install it several times, getting errors and then bricking my phone.
2) I have already cleared the cache several times from Recovery, without anything having changed; the two white dots on the boot screen continue to rotate 37 times around the red dot before the phone starts up and then works perfectly.
It occurred to me that the MSM Download Tool program uses a decrypted image of the original firmware; could this possibly be the cause of the long boot?

That twrp version always will crash dump on a11. Use the one I sent
I followed these steps:
after having managed to make MSM Download Tool detect the phone in EDL mode, I proceeded by reinstalling OOS v9.0.13, after which I reconfigured the phone and restored the apps backup stored in my Google account.
Later, I don't remember the details well, I received the update notification for OOS v10 and later for OOs v11.1.2.2.
I don't remember exactly where the boot started to stretch, however this is more or less the process I followed to bring my 6T back to life.

Another question: assuming I can install TWRP and make it working, LineageOS image must be copied in the 6T's internal SD and proceeding to install from TWRP?

Or you could use USB OTG. Or a PC and use adb sideload
This phone has had a number of previous installs of ResurrectionRemix (2019), LineageOS 18.1 different versions and there has not been any problems to install custom ROMS. Just recently, after recharging the phone, the phone would not boot. Kept hanging on the LOS boot animation. I have reverted to Stock ROM successfully, and after that tried several LOS reinstalls with the recovery bootloader (either TWRP or LineageOS's own) but every time the LOS install starts hanging on the boot animation. Timeout. And I am trying to reinstall same versions that have been working before. Total mystery. How do I get a working LOS back on the phone? Strange thing is that a ResurrectionRemix install seems to work. No hanging at boot there at least.
What is causing this peculiar error? NB: I have never used any apps like Magisk or similar.
BR /Johan
try it with twrp
I have tried with TWRP running from 3.3.0+ up to 3.6+ . No difference here. It feels like the LOS installation is missing something. A partition or what not. adb logcat does not work when I boot so I can't see what's going on during boot, but I can use adb with the LOS recovery to look for things .
Update: Finally got the boot logging to work. It turns out that my fingerprint sensor is dead, and LOS gets into a bootloop when it tries to access it via HAL(?!). I am no expert on debugging - thanks to guys over at #lineageos. But it is worth noting that LOS might get into a boot loop if the fingerprint sensor is dead for some reason, be it an electrical failure of some kind or firmware issue.
