Hi want go back from Beta to stable but currently its not poosible.
I tried to flash the stable zip file in stock recovery but this wont work, installation aborted after 1-2 seconds with no success. Also sideloading aborted after 47%.
Can anybody help me, are there factory images for flashing to stable stock?
Thanks
flash twrp recovery (via fastboot) and install stable zip through twrp recovery.
I presume you've backed up your files from storage because moving between major releases requires a full wipe;
Do a "Fastboot -w" to completely wipe the userdata folder
Install TWRP with "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img" (or whichever filename it has)
Reboot the phone into TWRP while connected to your computer
The phone should appear as a drive on the computer, if not go into TWRP and mount folder and make sure data is ticked
Copy over the 4.5.14 release
Try installing that with TWRP which should, in the process, replace the recovery with the official one
See how you get on
You have got to use the specific roll-back image. You can find it at the ob1 announcement forum post

I wanna go to the RR MM version ROM for Zenfone 5, but fewmsome days before I decide to do it, my microusb got some kind of bug, anyway, it doesn't connect to pc (I tried everything). So, in the tutorial says to flash the new recovery made by them, but i don't have how to connect it on pc to flash the new TWRP recovery, but I have a funcional system working (the stock .87 version from asus) and I want to know if there's a way that I can flash the recovery without using pc (once that my microusb jack is f*kd). I saw in other forum that "recovery.img" is inside the /factory partition, so apps like Flashify cannot read and write on it. Just droidboot can do that. So this is what I want to know, of there's a way to flash the recovery trough the booted Android and if I can make a script to Droidboot run. (Of course, all of them without pc). Or even if I can flash RRMM on my current twrp version (2.8.7.0)
Thanks xda.
Try to flash it via TWRP 2.8.7.0
"Error flashing image, no partition specified".
Twrp actually doesn't show any partitions to install the image.

I provided flashable zip for my RR MM rom. So you shoudl just choose zip archvie with rom to flash it.
It is not a image.

Hi
Trying to flash TWRP but no ADB & Fastboot directory under Windows 10 program files/x86?!? Also should GApps go here? 32bit? What if SD card & internal storage is merged? End result is Lineage OS...
Could anyone link a good guide?
Which adb/fastboot utility did you install? If you install Minimal ADB 1.4.2, on my computer it's present under C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot. For 1.4.2: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120698566
If you're trying to flash TWRP (ensure you've got either TWRP 3.0.2 or a more recent version, 3.1.1 for example, and that it's for athene devices), you could follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67031805&postcount=3 Also, double check you've unlocked your bootloader before attempting any of this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67031801&postcount=2 Bear in mind unlocking your bootloader will wipe your device and void your warranty.
Once you've flashed TWRP, then reboot straight to recovery - this is to ensure TWRP is not overwritten by the stock recovery. Once you've booted to the recovery, then TWRP should stick and you may reboot as normal.
EDIT - instead of flashing TWRP, you may wish to boot to TWRP (and look at step 4 below):
Copy the TWRP image file to your adb folder.
Boot into the bootloader and connect your device to your computer.
Open your adb client and verify your device is communicating by executing 'fastboot devices' without the quotes. You should get a response with your device's serial number.
To boot in TWRP, execute in the adb terminal 'fastboot boot <name of TWRP image>' without the quotes. E.g if your TWRP is twrp-3.1.1-athene_shreps.img, then the command you'd use is 'fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-athene_shreps.img' (without quotes).
Afterwards, you'll be able to flash LineageOS and GApps. The main instructions for flashing a custom ROM are usually listed in the first post of each custom ROM (here's the link for the official LineageOS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-1-t3522101)
If you have your SD card and internal storage merged, then unless you can save the encryption key from your stock, your SD card will be wiped/inaccessible. SD cards mounted as portable storage appear to operate okay under both custom and stock ROMs. Thus, back up your SD card to your computer. You may wish to re-format your SD card as portable storage (and from what I've read on the Lenovo Motorola forums, that might help your SD card last longer, as it's not being subjected to encryption as it would be with adoptable storage).
1)You'll be flashing the LineageOS and GApps (can use either OpenGApps or BeanGApps) zips using TWRP. You need 7.1 arm Gapps (32 bit).
2)Download LineageOS and GApps to your device. Do not unzip them.
3)Reboot to TWRP recovery. Tap the Backup option on the main menu.
4)Back up your device in TWRP (make a note this is your stock backup). If you want this backup to be OTA friendly for stock updates, then do not 'swipe to allow modifications'. Back up the stock ROM, verify you've got the backup then reboot to TWRP, and then 'swipe to allow modifications'.
5)Go back to the main menu, and tap the 'Wipe'.
6)Under 'Advanced Wipe', select Dalvik/ART cache, system, data and cache. Double check these are the only ones you have ticked.
6a)Swipe to wipe.
7)Go back to the TWRP main menu.
8)Tap Install and locate your LineageOS and GApps zips.
9)Flash LineageOS first and then GApps.
10)Reboot to LineageOS.
If your device screen goes to sleep whilst in TWRP, press on the volume keys to wake up your device.
If you wish to revert back to near stock, you can flash your TWRP backup of your stock ROM (though this will revert any messages to the point when your backup was taken, you may wish to use Titanium Backup or MyPhoneExplorer to backup). If you decide to revert completely to stock, then if you were on the June 2017 stock update, please only flash the June 2017 or later stock firmwares: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
@echo92 if he would decide to flash back to a clean StockRom (by fastboot) in order to start with a complete unmodified System (stock boot, stock kernel & stock recovery) wouldn't it be better not to "flash" but just to "boot" once into TWRP and take a backup of the clean StockRom in order to save the stockrecovery too? So he could simply restore his clean stock if he wants to take a future OTA.
If he "flashes" TRWP permanently onto StockR he would backup Stock with modified recovery and might wonder, why he couldn't install an OTA.
Please correct me, if I'm wrong.

Oh definitely, that's an option, booting into TWRP and backing up the stock ROM. As I understand it, you have to back up your device without allowing TWRP to modify your system partition. If the backup is taken after that, I recently read that enabling that will cause an OTA to fail (since the type of OTA monitors if the system was ever mounted as read/write), even if the backup you took had no other changes.
It honestly depends on how much flashing the opening poster is planning on doing, if it's simply just LineageOS and OpenGApps, then might be worth booting into TWRP. However, to keep updated then you'd have to perform the updates when you've got a PC available (to be able to boot into TWRP), in which case the inconvenience of booting into TWRP with a PC might outweigh the downside of a custom recovery. For custom ROMs, we might have a similar issue ironically, where a user downloads an update for custom ROMs and cannot flash the update because they do not have TWRP on their device (albeit this issue is easier to fix). I concur that simply booting into TWRP may be more suitable for new users and those that do not realise the requirements/downsides of having a custom recovery. I'll add in the option of booting to TWRP in the previous post As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility.
Also, if the user flashes other files (e.g. a custom logo.bin to hide the bootloader warning), then the OTA would fail anyway, and custom logos aren't backed up by TWRP. For a logo.bin though, that can be easily replaced by a stock logo.bin (from the appropriate stock ROM) flashable in fastboot or in TWRP.
If the xda pros would establish a new status, like "Recognized Explainer", you were the first who 'd deserve it.
Thx!!!
I have successfully installed Lineage Flo (2013) on a Nexus 7! This practice (fell at every hurdle) & your post should bring the matter to a swift finish.
Many thx.
Hi i was about to update my phone and setting it to factory in order to update it to Oxygenos last version since i still using oxygen2 (andoid 5) etc...
I was about to do a twrp backup however i do no thave enought space so i've read on internet that with twrp 3.1+ you can backup directly on pc. I've tryed to update twrp however its not working and not starting the recovery partition. I've read that : (3.0.2-1 and above for OxygenOS 3.x and above) (3.0.2-0 and below for OxygenOS 2.x and below) however i need the updated version to backup directly on pc what can i do? some advice? i've looked for a modified version of twrp 3.1 for oxygenos2 but i did not find it :S
Before you do this, update TWRP via these instructions
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/oneplus2/install
skip down to this line "Installing a custom recovery using fastboot" as you do not need to unlock the bootloader as it is already unlocked since you have TWRP already.
Do not make a TWRP backup, It will not be of any use once you move to OxygenOS 3.6.1 since the backup will be of Nouget (android 5). The best way to upgrade would be to follow the steps here http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-2/oneplus_2_oxygenos_3.6.1/
Once you get to step 4, click the "View Instructions for TWRP Recovery" link then you can either dirty flash or clean flash the zip. I would recommend clean flashing, as in do the factory reset as mentioned in the second paragraph under step 4. However, do not directly flash the rom afterward, use the reboot option in TWRP to reboot into recovery then flash the zip.
NOTE: If you want to use Magisk to pass SafetyNet and have root, download the Magisk zip and flash after flashing the rom, or queue it to it flashes right after the OOS rom.
afterward let the phone boot up then do the setup. Once you have completed setup, enable developer settings and enable advanced reboot. use reboot into recovery to boot into TWRP
Now go ahead and make a TWRP Backup, This backup will be your Go-To backup if you want to go back to factory OOS 3.6.1 with the setup completed and Magisk already installed.
Not able to backup
The problem is that the last version of TWRP working on oxygenos2 is 3.0.2-1 and you can not make the backup directly on computer, i've traied toupdate twrp and it does not lounch however with that version of twrp (3.0.2) or before it works that was the point if there was any modified twrp for oxygenos2 and with twrp version 3.1 or higher.
TWRP v3.x.x doesn't work with oxygen 2.
There's no way to boot TWRP v3 without installing oxygen 3.
If you need to backup your files (pictures, videos, WhatsApp messages etc.) you don't need TWRP because it backups only your system and your apps.
So simply attach your phone to your PC and copy all your files.
If you need a copy of your system then you need to free some space on your phone and do a backup with TWRP v2

Hi, I have a problem with OP5, I decided to install OOS 8.0 (Beta), I had OOS on 7.1.1 (Root) (TWRP), I made full wipe in TWRP and installed OOS 4.5.14 (7.1.1), after that i get Stock Recovery and Iupgraded OOS to 8.0 (According to the OnePlus manual) -> Bootloop. I decided to go back to 7.1.1 -> Error, I uploaded TWRP and another attempt to download 7.1.1 -> The system got up but I can not do anything because I have an error "Udecrypting the device. (Write to do "Factory reset"), so again to TWRP -> Full Wipe and here is interesting, I get my error "Wrong argument", the phone does not see my built in memory (I write that I have 0mb), what can I do in this situation? Anyone know?
ERROR in TWRP: "Unable to mount storage"
Please help me.
Go to recovery -wipe-advanced wipe-data-repair or change file system- change file system. First select EXT2 and after that EXT4 and now you should be able to use your storage but you need to flash new TWRP (try this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=27442)

Thank you for that link. I was having another issue - the TWRP downloaded from the official site didn't work on the latest Oreo beta build and didn't overwrite the stock recovery and couldn't mount /data. This one did.
yeah im having major issues with mine, im now stuck in a download mode i cant get out of !
The first question is, you want to go Oreo or return nougat? In the first case, go to the dedicated thread, download the black TWRP and format data (if you can't read anything) reboot to TWRP again now copy the Oreo firmware and install it from the same recovery, reboot to recovery again if you don't have the stock one automatically installed, just flash it via TWRP. So once you're in stock recovery format EVERYTHING, reboot to system, and after you've configured the initial setup of your device if you want reboot to bootloader and reinstall the black TWRP and flash magisk 14.56 for root.. I've done this for getting this Oreo rom works
Exactly happened with me too. I even accidentally deleted all the contents of my storage. Tried to sideload via adb but got unknown device error. This thread worked for me
https://thedroidguru.com/how-to-unbrick-oneplus-5-phone-with-official-tool/
ive just restored the latest nougat firmware/radios and jumped back onto an aosp build until op5 gets official Oreo build
so i just doing a clean install of the beta 3 rom, i did follow the instruction that written in the thread but some how after installing the update when i'm about to reboot into system it keeps rebooting into the recovery. so i decided to clean wipe and re-flash the rom, and some how it says that there's no rom installed. i've tried to install other custom rom like, LOS 15 and Liquid Remix, but it's still the same, keep booting to recovery and showing that there's no rom installed. plz help...
Go to twrp > wipe > format data > yes
Then transfer oos OB 3 to your phone, use adb push command is better than copy paste(not sure why because sometimes i copy pasted into phone, sometime it bootloop or storage not recognised)
Flash it, then flash magisk 15.2. then reboot. It should work fine. Unless you use a not compatible twrp version.
thanks for ur solution before, but can u tell me the compatible twrp is, cuz i'm using the twrp 3.2.1 by blu spark and it keeps booting into recovery
You need to flash no verity zip. If you are decrypted.
"You need to flash no verity zip. If you are decrypted. "
Thanks god for this comment, use about 2 hours digging around forums and re-flashing, wiping, trying diffrent TWRPs, different roms. And when I found this comment I just isntalled the zip and it worked within 10 seconds.
