i m ****ed - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

I tried to flash xXx_NoLimits_4.4_OP5_Oxygen_OB01_full (1) my op5 got into a bootloop. and theres nothing left in the phone. twrp shows nothing. cant copy any file from pc when i try to shows an error that cannot copy item-the device has either stopped respondingor has been disconnected.

You can't reboot into bootloader?

Probably best to factory reset through twrp, flash oxygen is 4.5.14 to go back to stable os.
I don't think this needed a new thread^^

Boot into twrp, wipe using "format data" which will wipe your internal storage (since you've already lost your files, you won't lose any now :3 ). And your phone should boot after that. Switching to oreo from nougat needs a "format data" as of now, afaik. Also NOT using the official twrp is recommended.

What TWRP version did you used?

If you've lost everything then just do a "fastboot -w" from command window, then "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img" (With whichever TWRP build you want to use), then reboot into TWRP and it should appear on your computer as a mounted drive, then copy your stuff over and flash it using TWRP.

Well, the title is misleading. I didn't expect a query.
P.S.: Best to post in the dedicated thread for the ROM. There are more people that can be of help.

Boot in twrp and go in wipe section on twrp and tap on format data then type yes and your phone recognized back on pc and you will be able to copy files on it :good:

Boot fastboot, flash stock recovery, boot it, erase and wipe every thing, boot fastboot, flash TWRP 3.1.1 , copy your rom and flash your rom.
Sorry for my bad english

Go to TWRP, Wipe then to Advanced wipe, Click Data then choose Repair or Change File System, Change file System. Click EXT3 then Swipe to change. after that choose EXT4 and Swipe to Change. hook phone to pc/mac and tranfer your file zip to your phone and reflash it. *this might or might not work. everything will be deleted from phone*.

Encryption unlocked & rooted?

I've been reading something that interested me.
https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoX/comments/2kx2lv/how_do_you_encrypt_a_rooted_moto_x/
Specifically.
I had the same issue today. Booted into safe mode, then I was able to encrypt.
Press power button to get power off popup menu. Press and hold power off. You will get another popup offering to reboot in safe mode.
Safe mode worked. This uncomplicates my process of rooting, unrooting, encrypting, and having issues rerooting after encryption. This is also a crazy easy single step process for an issue that has given me months of headaches.
You shall be the first person ever that I have given gold to.
Thank you so much!

How would encryption effect flashing a new rom?
What are your guys thoughts on encryptimg a unlocked and rooted phone?
I do not want to enable it yet till it is comfirmed its ok.
Thanks.
Um I haven't had a problem and I've encrypted the software many times as I have installed many rooms and I always encrypt after setting everything up post root so it should just work without issue. Maybe they just weren't being patient and it can take a bit of time

What about unencrypting? To say to flash a new kernel or rom?
Well that's an interesting question. I am testing twrp builds from hashbang to try and get encryption fully supported for this device in twrp. Until that time you can actually still flash zips via adb sideload no problem

Ohh. Cool. I'll have to learn adb.
@timde9
I've got twrp installed.
To get to recovrry mode, do I go into recovery mode in twrp and then the recovery button in twrp to install packages m zips from adb?
to install packages via adb is pretty simple really you just open twrp go to advanced menu and open "adb sideload" from there. Then connect your device to your computer install adb and sideload an app with this syntax
"adb sideload ***.zip"
That is radical. Ty for this.
Encryption went like a breeze.
took no more than 20 min. I feel safe now.

Just found out after encrypting twrp fails to mount data to backup. I might restore without encryption. That way I have access to backups on my phone too.
So I am having a problem restoring a backup. Since I cannot decrypt, to get rid of data from being locked down, do I flash with a rom? I am stuck.
Ok I have to do a factory reset. But not sure if this exists and works through twrp. Or if I have to do a factory reset some otherway.
Ok I skipped trying to reinstall rom and did a little searching.
This guy but with a 6P had exact issue.
For me to wipe data I need to
Code:
fastboot format userdata

That will erase all your data including files, apps, etc. Anything installed to /system should be untouched.

Thanks for confirming this. Exactly what I need when time comes to decrypt "wipe" I will use this.
I wasn't sure if it would delete the partition or wipe, this is why I asked.

Upon reading this again, just to be safe, you might want to start with just a fastboot erase. I think format does the same thing, but I have never used it.
Since you would be specifying the partition with both commands, I do not think you are in risk of completely blowing up your user partition if you choose to use fastboot format, but once again, I have always just used fastboot erase.

So I went to use this. I got an error.
Code:
Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type 'raw'
So now, that I am guessing, since twrp can now decrypt, I should just be able to go into twrp and do a full wipe and reinstall of the trupurexmm 2.5 And encryption should be gone?

5. How To Install A ROM with TWRP Recovery
Prerequisites: unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery.
Installing a ROM is a pretty straight forward and easy process. Before you install anything you should make a nandroid backup (instructions above).
Download a ROM and appropriate Gapps package and place on your device.
Boot into your custom recovery.
Perform a full wipe.
Select the wipe option from the TWRP home screen.
Select advanced wipe.
Check the system, data, cache, and dalvik cache options.
Swipe to wipe.
Install the ROM.
Select the install option from the TWRP home screen.
Navigate to where you have the ROM zip stored on your sd card and select it.
Swipe to install.
Most ROMs will run an installer script at this point but some ROMs have what is called an Aroma Installer which allow you to choose some install options before the script runs.
You will also need to install the appropriate gapps package directly after installing the ROM.
Once you've installed all necessary zips you'll have an option to wipe cache/dalvik and an option to reboot system. Wipe the cache/dalvik, hit the back button, and hit the reboot system button.

Encryption issue after flashing LineageOS 14.1 and SuperSU

Hi
I'm having this very weird issue with my phone (A2017G). I unlocked BL, installed TWRP, updated to TWRP 3.0.3-1, formatted data, factory reset, install A2017G_Nougat_Bootloader+ModemFix, factory reset again, install LineageOS and then boot. The device booted fine.
I noticed root wasn't built-in so I flashed SuperSU V2.65. After a reboot, my phone won't let me boot into the system anymore. I get asked for a password. Whatever password I enter, it says "Decryption Unsuccesful. The password is correct, but data is corrupt". When I reboot to TWRP and format data and then factory reset, nothing changes. I keep getting the prompt before system boots. Even re-flashing the bootstack and lineageOS doesn't help. I know flashing anything else will brick my phone, so I refrained from doing that.
What am I doing wrong here?
Note that TWRP reads both my internal storage and my SDcard. However, internal storage contains only the folder "TWRP". When I go up a level, I can see the normal folders like "boot", "cache", "data", "dev" and so on. In the "backup" menu, DATA also shows as "0MB"
File system says "f2fs". Do I repair/change it?
Thanks
Ah,
I have/had the same error. Looks like this needs to be changed to ext4.

I would say the answer lies with issues between f2fs and SuperSU

And you flash the wrong SuperSU, the one needed is either v.2.79 or v.2.79-R3. try booting back to TWRP and clean Flash Lineage again and flash either one of the SuperSu I Mention before.
I have the same after install unofficial lineage 14.1 'decryption unsuccessful'
On TWRP 3.0.3-1 I go in 'wipe', then 'advanced wipe' and select 'Data', press 'Repair or Change File System' and then 'Change File System' to EXT4
That's work fine on my 2017G
For root
download.lineageos.org/extras
The arm64 zip
After install with TWRP go in deployment options and activated it!
Lineage is running with root
Thanks, everyone. That worked. I was quite worried for a while, I really don't want tot RMA the device a second time due tot me messing things up.

Probably it is caused by a known bug in the f2fs implementation in the kernel. Only @Unjustified Dev can solve it. Some people who already was using f2fs with TWRP 3.0.4 and LineageOS 13.1 are not having those issues and they were able to dirty flash the new LOS 14.1.
Updating to TWRP 3.0.3-1 is very recommended. TWRP 3.0.2 has some problems when flashing zips. SuperSU is one of them.

Rom Installing Bootloop Problem

Hello
I hve tried to install Resorrution remix And SlimRom But i have bootloop problems, Once the install is finished the OP5 Goes to continous bootloop. and the only thing i can do is to restore to the OP oxygen OS. since i am doing the whole procedure on Mac and its new to me i was thinking i was doing something wrong but it doesnt seem so. The only problem i get ( i guess its a problem ) It is when i install the Twrp the phone gives a Errorr The the software is not working properly and gives and Adress where to go and check. Htt p: //g. co /abh when it says that the device software can't be checked but i dont belive this is the problem. Does any one had this problem before. If not can you Give me any solution.
Thank you for your attention
That message is OK, it's not an error, it's a warning of your device being unlocked. You should give a little bit of extra info, what steps did you do in twrp? What did you wipe and what files did you flash?

Be careful in saying those things, it will completely wipe the phone including pictures and all.
Besides that it's not true, Resurrection remix can be used when encrypted. To me it more sounds like the OP did not wipe enough in twrp, a dirty flash upon Oxygen.

How can I install Oxygen OS 5.0.1 with an unlocked bootloader?

Good day!
Our country just received the Oxygen OS 5.0.1 update.
How can I install it with an unlocked bootloader?
I was going to relock it but I found out that if I did, my data will be gone.
The only difference in the set-up of my phone from a stock OP5 is the unlocked bootloader.
Flash through stock recovery

I tried to update my phone using the normal way but after downloading and tried to install it, it failed because my bootloader is unlocked.
I just made a backup of data using codeworkx recovery. Copied the backup (Along with the files on userdata I wanted to keep) to my PC.
Wiped all and formatted data. Then installed Oreo and copied back the files and data backup from the pc to the phone and restored data with codeworkx recovery again.
Then flashed magisk 15.2 and rebooted.
Everything working fine now.

I managed to flash Nougat without locking my bootloader. But I also had to Format the Data partition to make it work. I used Titanium Backup to backup the data of the Apps and Myapplist to make a list of the apps. After installing Oreo I only needed to spent 1 hour to restoring the app data.

I honestly dont see a big difference yet, but only had it for two days. Feels a bit snappier, my signal a bit stronger, and probably an improvement with battery life. I had issues upgrading but then again I flashed the wrong version of magisk. I think the most important thing is the latest android security update.

You can ask that question on the TWRP thread. May be they can answer it correctly. I guessed that twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img was for both Nougat and Oreo and that is why I used it. So, if you want to be sure you should ask that on a TWRP thread.

Hello, I was reviewing the process and just downloaded everything onto my computer and transferred onto my phone but have a few questions regarding some of the steps.
* Rebooted to TWRP and installed the Codeworkx TWRP using the Install->Image option inside TWRP
** Can I update TWRP via the official app and is that version of TWRP okay to use over the "twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img"
* Entered WIPE from TWRP main menu and used the 'Format' option to Format the Data and typed 'Yes' / This deleted my Internal Storage so I had to backup everything beforehand.
** How, what and where did you back up your data? Because later you mentioned "deleted my Internal Storage". I am guessing that because the OP5 does not have an external SD card everything is wiped and the new OS 5.0.1 needs to be saved onto a computer and then re-transferred back onto the phone. I am also guessing that the backup will need to be saved onto a computer as after wiping the phone it would also delete that file too, correct?
* Mounted the internal storage by using the Mount option from TWRP main menu.
** I am assuming that this option after the data wipe is self explanatory?
* I was having problem copying files to the internal storage so I rebooted TWRP and the problem was fixed.
** This is what makes be believe all the files should be on a computer. How did you reboot and when you did, does it go directly / back to TWRP?
* Installed the OnePlus full update and Wiped Cache and Dalvik and rebooted the device to make sure that the OS boots. / Then rebooted the device to fastboot to flash Codeworkx TWRP again because it was unavailable.
** I am guessing here that once OS v8 is installed the TWRP img is no longer on the phone. I would need to transfer the TWRP back onto the phone then re-flash? Could I just install the TWRP official app and flash that way?
Thanks

Yes I am currently rooted. Once I flash the new OS will I still have root access to use the TWRP official app? Is that why after flashing new OS you need to flash TWRP via fastboot?
What about the backing up? I also have full titanium, thanks.

Hello, I followed the following instructions:
4. Entered WIPE from TWRP main menu and used the 'Format' option to Format the Data and typed 'Yes'
6. Then used advanced wipe to wipe Cache and Dalvik.
7. Mounted the internal storage by using the Mount option from TWRP main menu.
8. I (also) was having problem copying files to the internal storage so I rebooted TWRP and the problem was fixed.
9. Copied the OnePlus full update and Magisk zip file.
I went to install the update w/in twrp and now I get an error message:
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/oneplus5oxygen_23_OTA_028.....

I received the following tip
"Wipe data and then copy the rom full zip flash it boot it to the starting screen then boot to recovery and then flash magisk ,you will see no errors."
But this makes no sense to me.
I have formatted my phone / wiped data / have the full rom & magisk on my "/sdcard" / went to install zip via TWRP, selected the rom and received the error message.
I decided to just go and upgrade via OTA and that failed. My phone has rebooted back to stock
what am i doing wrong?

You said you are on marshnallow.. Detailed step below.
1. Update to the latest nougat firmware using ota. Because lateat firmware is needed for oreo roms. Else you will face tons of bugs and problems.
2. Download recovery from same thread of the oreo rom you are using. Oreo roms need vendor partition, so it needs recovery that supports it.
Download the rom and gapps also.
5. Copy the rom, recovery image and gapps into the memory card. Boot into fastboot mode. Connect to pc. You can boot to fastboot by using command "adb reboot fastboot" without quotes.
4. Unlock the bootloader by connecting to pc via fastboot.(steps to unlock is given in the xda guide section or k6 power.)
5. Boot into twrp recovery image using fastboot. Your phone will reboot to recovery.
6. Using recovery install the recovery image from it by going to "install option" then selecting file type as image and selecting recovery image file.
7. Reboot recovery.
8. Format data to remove encryption. After that you can access internal storage. Wipe data, cache, dalvic cache, system, data and internal storage.
9. Flash the rom file. Flash the gapps.
10. Reboot to system from twrp.
If you can understand any steps above you can google. If you cant understand google, then forget about doing it. Because you will eventually break your phone. Give it to someone who knows in that case.
Lol I will not brick my device.I can get back to marshmallow anytime!The only problem I was having before was the device wouldn't show anything(0mb) on internal storage on booting in the ROM.Is this normal.Maybe the ROM is encrypted.On nougat this is not happening on any ROM.Currently Iam on nougat(stock).It shows internal storage only after formatting data but reinstalling the ROM and booting again in recovery it shows 0mb on internal storage.

Reinstalling the rom means it is again getting encrypted. By default encryption is on in stock rom. So you have to format data to break encryption. Otherwise you cant access internal storage. You need latest firmware (nov security patch) for oreo roms.
