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.

Hi,
Coming from PureNexus, I wanted to give CM13 a try. Made a nandroid backup so none of my data is lost, and put that backup on pc. I installed CM13 which went fine. It stopped at the CM booting animation and did not go further, so I cleanflashed Purenexus to restore my backup later on. Now PureNexus won't boot either. I'm out of ideas to try, and I want to get my phone back up and running ASAP.
Can anyone help me with this issue?

When you clean flashed, did you also wipe system? If you did and you're still hung at boot, your best bet would be to flash the factory images via fastboot and start fresh.

Are you wiping properly (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) before installing a ROM? Are you making sure you flash the appropriate vendor image after flashing the ROM? When you made your backup which options did you check? And which options are you restoring?

When I try to wipe, it's only wiping cache for some reason. My backup consists of everything except cache.

What do you mean it's only wiping cache? Explain to me how you're doing the wipe. Also, when creating a backup (and restoring it) you should only be selecting system, data, boot, and vendor.
PS. You didn't answer my question about whether you're flashing the vendor after flashing the ROM. If you want help you need to answer the questions that are asked.

I'll keep that in mind. When I boot up TRWP, I wiped system, dalvik, data, internal storage and cache. After that I pushed CM13 through adb. That's where the problems started.
EDIT: I flashed the most recent vendor after I flashed the ROM.

Ok, you definitely don't need to wipe internal storage before flashing so don't worry about that part. Only system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. You said before only cache was being wiped, can you please elaborate on that?
Are you sure the ROM zip didn't become corrupt during the download? Did you check the MD5 to ensure that it didn't? That could be what's causing your problems. Also, what gapps are you flashing?
If you want to go back to Pure Nexus just to get your phone working you can just restore that backup, just make sure you only restore system, data, boot, and vendor.

It won't wipe anything other than cache, no matter what I'm trying to do. Now when I'm trying to push a ROM through adb, I can install it but it won't boot.

I found your guide by googling, thanks for making that! Flashing the factory image worked, and I succesfully restored my backup. The only problem left is that it won't accept my pattern lock. I have used the same one for years across multiple android devices, so I'm absolutely sure I have the right pattern. Any way to bypass this?

You need to remove all security before making a backup because the security information is encrypted and doesn't get backed up or restored properly. You can delete some files using TWRP (see section 3 of my guide) in order to remove the security so you can get into Android. This will cause problems with Smart Lock though.

Hi,
I have G935F, installed TWRP 3.0.0.0 and rooted, WITHOUT wiping. System boots correctly, but I cannot do factory reset or wipe with TWRP, because I got some messages like "Cannot mount Data" and "Failed crypto loader". I understand that it has to do with encryption. Can someone please enlight me, and give me tips about the issue?
Thank you

You have to download dm-verity and force encryption disabler from here , put it to SD card, reboot into TWRP, FORMAT DATA (not wipe) and flash that file (dm-verity and force encryption disabler). All your data will be erased.
No way to unencrypt without loosing you data for the moment(
"All your data will be erased" means that after boot I'll find a clean system installation (as factory reset)?
I hope not to be posing stupid questions, I'm completely new to this world
Thank you very much
Yes just as a factory reset

No, you cannot perform a backup, because your data is encrypted by default and the only way to disable it is to format your data.
I have a unique problem. I have a HTC Desire 612 from Verizon and I decided to revive it to playe PoGo. But it was stuck in a boot loop and I couldn't get any custom ROM.
Finally a gentle soul here gave me the stock rom and I flashed it vide TWRP and played PoGo for weeks. Then yesterday the phone bro led and when it came up it was stuck in a boot loop.
So I decided to flash the stock ROM again. But before that I tried to factory reset. I could go to TWRP, select wipe data, enter yes and the wiping was successful, then clear dalvic and cache and system beforehand finally I flashed the stock ROM.
Surprise surprise is NOTHING happens. The phone boots without the apps telling me they are installing. Then I get back the exact same data in my phone including my selected wallpaper and apps. Before I can do anything the phone restarts.
Point is wiping and restoring the stock ROM does NOTHING to the phone yet the processes are successful. Can somebody help?

you can always ran the flash-all.bat file after editing the file and removing the -w from it.
If you want to keep your system decrypted simply boot to bootloader/recoery and flash any moded kernel. either way, using flashboot is simple enough so you don't have to use flashfire.

This worked for me, except that it erased TWRP even when I selected to option to back up recovery. At the end it wouldn't boot up and had to perform a factory reset, so in the end, I got a clean, stock 8.0, unrooted.

I wonder why it did that, I had no issues, I have had it do that before on 7.1.2 however.
I downloaded the full ota file from Google site, and flashed it like a normal ota + root afterwards with flashfire.
Been 3 days since, Android o works like a charm!

in terms of flashing i flashed it like any normal monthly security patch lol, just went on google ota page, downloaded the ~1gb file.. then on flashfire i chose ota, selected said file + inject superSu afterwards, for wiping i chose cache and dalvik only. and done.

I have 6p 64gb also. We're you on the August build 7.1.2. and you only wiped dalvik and Cache and did you uncheck Data & 3rd party apps.so you just wiped dalvik & cache and nothing else. I usually flash the factory image to get monthly update because my bootloader is unlocked. So I don't get OTA updates thru my phone.

Thanks ixayman, going to wait a few days, because the OTA says it's not compatible with T-Mobile, us Cellular, Fi. All those are in my fi that I use. And I read that people who down loaded either Factory image or OTA are not working with Fi . When they fix this I try it then.
Thanks, you've been a big help
Attempt 1 to install Lineage
Tried installing the Lineage 14.1, it kept doing a blank-but-illuminated screen, then turned off and back on, resulting in a boot loop.
We tried a couple of things - first the more conservative wiping of just data, dalvik and cache.
This did the boot loop described above. I then restored the stock backup and all was well.
Attempt 2 to install Lineage
The second time we wiped the system partition in addition to the above. Same bootloop.
Went to restore the backup of stock again, but now it's getting stuck at "I'm not a phone I'm a comprehensive yada yada" screen. It never progresses past this.
Attempts to get Stock Restore working
We've tried restoring just the system, data and dalvik
We've also tried System Image in addition to these.
No joy.
We don't have a laptop or other device to hand for a few days so we have just what's on the phone - the Lineage 14.1 zip, the stock backup and TWRP.
Any ideas how we can get back to a working phone with either OS?

I didn't need to lock the bootloader again to update to Oreo from rooted and encrypted Nougat. This is what I did:
Downloaded OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_028_all_1801031502_04d7cc5. zip, twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img and Magisk-v15.3.zip.
Rebooted to TWRP and installed the Codeworkx TWRP using the Install->Image option inside TWRP.
Rebooted to TWRP again to make sure that my TWRP was updated.
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.
Then used advanced wipe to wipe Cache and Dalvik.
Mounted the internal storage by using the Mount option from TWRP main menu.
I was having problem copying files to the internal storage so I rebooted TWRP and the problem was fixed.
Copied the OnePlus full update and Magisk zip file.
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.
Booted into TWRP and flashed Magisk.
I am now on Oreo and I hate the way Ambient Display looks right now.

Yes but is there a way to dirty flash so you don't have to wipe your data?
Yes, obviously a lot more steps to remain encrypted, but worth it if you want to keep your data intact. Do try it out and reply the outcome on that thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/guide-upgrade-nougat-rooted-encrypted-t3734779
You guys don't understand. Any tutorial that includes "format data" means EVERYTHING gets wiped - even internal storage.
The OP is asking for a way to avoid it, and I think there isn't any. So you either bite the bullet or stay where you are.
Also, I had trouble flashing Magisk 15.3 with codeworkx recovery. Worked fine with bluspark.

It feels a bit faster, but I used to run Boeffla Kernel with battery optimized interactive governor on Nougat. So that's probably why.
As for battery, I don't really see a big improvement.
The biggest benefit was a clean system and internal storage. Don't even have face unlock, so can't comment on that.
I am happy with oreo!
