adb sideload issues - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

Hey, I have to sideload OOS on my OnePlus 5.
I tried following this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2318497
I tried to sideload OOS 5.0.2 from the original website using Blu Spark TWRP' but the CMD keep saying that "it cant read file"
Where I was wrong?
Note that the ZIP was not extracted, maybe that was the mistake? Sorry if its a dumb question.
Hope someone can help

Can anyone help?

Stuck on X, Reflashed using Toolkit and still stuck. How do I know build?

I received a nexus 7 from a family member that has a X on it. I downloaded Nexus 7 Toolkit 4.0.0 and tried the stock reflash and all (option 9?) and it finally seemed to complete correctly after randomly closing a few times but now it's still stuck on the X.
How do I know my build to make sure I am selecting the right image? I just googled my baseband and the version 4.1.2 popped upbeside it in searches so I went with that.
It seems like I can't get the most recent update to the toolkit unless I pay for it, but I only planned on using it once and don't even know if that would solve my problem. If i knew for sure it would, sure I would purchase it. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks

I know this may seem kinda silly, but I had a really similar problem and I solved it by going into Recovery and wiping everything, then I was able to flash another ROM from too manager.

If that didn't work I'm afraid a manual flash is your only option, don't think any toolkits will work.

Check that out, pretty straightforward and should do the trick.

I'm a rook when it comes to the command stuff. Some quick questions and I think I can be on my way.
1. How do I open a command prompt to my ADB and Fastboot directory? I have no idea what that means. Do I make a folder on my desktop titled Nexus 7, and inside that put something?
2. I can't boot into Android so what do I do when it says "if you're booted into Android" do I just put it in fastboot and say good?
(The last command prompt stuff I did was in 2002 for my computer using Windows XP it's been a while. Kinda rusty)
I appreciate the help guys, I'm learning! I guess I could send it in, but I like the learning experience and challenge.

You need to download the Android SDK for that so you can have the fastboot program. Download and install that first then you can proceed to flashing a rom using the fastboot command.

I'm not very good at this stuff either, and a manual flash was the first thing I tried. You'll get it!
If you can't boot into Android skip step 3 and go to 4, which is the same (just that you're loaded into the bootloader, which you should be able to access).
About the other issue, google it and look for a londatiga.net link (can't post links as a new user). All you need is the Android SDK

I found FastBoot in the Platform-Tools folder, but I double click it and a command prompt looking screen pops up, but disappears.
EDIT: Got it.
Thanks for the help
Ok, so I figured out the command prompt.
For those of you searching for this, and in the same situation as I, I clicked on Start>and searched Command where my command prompt popped up as C:\users\admin> and i was really confused. From there my Toolkit was in Desktop>Nexus 7 Stuff>Toolkit>ADT Bundle>SDK>Platform-Tools.
I typed in command prompt "cd desktop" and enter. Then I was at C:\users\admin\desktop> From there I entered "cd nexus 7 stuff" and enter. and on to toolkit, then the next until I was at platform tools. Then I followed the instructions and whala!
(Now I am stuck on writing "boot") i've searched and found nothing.

Stuck in cwm recovery!! Help!!!

Okay, so here's my situation...
I installed TWRP with no issues, and a few days later installed CWM recovery (just because it's what I'm used to from previous device usage), but just today an OTA occurred. Yes, I'm an idiot and was warned not to do this and for that I am getting hit my some severe karma. Anyways, all I want to do is get my device working again. I could care less if it's stock, and I lose all of my data. I just want it to return to normal functionality. I'm on CWM version 6.0.4.4 and have no ADB support so I'm unable to push any files for a restore. Also, I have backups in my TWRP folder, but cannot access them from the restore from /sdcard menu. If anyone out there could help me out I'd be so damn grateful. Thanks!!!

Actually, I can't even revert to stock. Don't have any files that I can use to restore. Can't push them from PC. I think I'm out of options. Unless you can think of anything. Is there anyone I can directly get a hold of to help resolve this for me? I know I'm not the only one who has gotten this error.

FIXED!
If anyone out there needs help with this issue, I've found a very simple quick fix.
1. http://koush.com/post/universal-adb-driver Download and install this. For some reason it enables you to use ADB while in CWM.
2. Plug in your device while powered on and in recovery mode.
3. Now, enter the following commands in order.
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
4. TA DA! You should be able to reboot your device in full functionality!
Note: The command prompt was copy and pasted by me from this forum --- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
Big thanks to thecubed for getting me outta this one!

I am in the same situation. Please describe it in detail as to where to enter the command. Specifically where do I get "adb shell" and how to get this command prompt. Thank you so much
I was having the same problem tried everything to get it to reboot even the universal drivers still didn't work. I ended up using ubuntu and installing the jdk and sdk then ran the command that was in the TWRP tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696) and it worked like a charm. 9 hours though :/ hope this helps a little bit. if you dont have a computer running ubuntu just make a live cd and you can do it from that!
this was the link to the question I had posted.

Phone does not boot after OTA (rooted phone) URGENT

Hi all,
As mentioned in the title, an update from LG came for my 802 and suddenly, it booted and entered TWRP.
Now, it always goes back to TWRP. Anyone knows how I can solve this or boot normally again?
Thx,
Xiribi

Use the terminal command if you can't use ADB... might work?
That's what I did, because AT&T stops giving you the option to not update after a couple times, and then I got stuck like you.

i did use the terminal and got into the boot loop.
Cannot perform any operation trough command because it gives me an error saying that the adb shell is error closed.
I'm now trying something else with some LG tools I found here. Hope it works, if it does, I'll repost the link here.

I'm not sure what happened for you, because the terminal command worked for me... maybe you mistyped it, or maybe you had a slightly different problem or something. Not sure.
Guys,
I finnaly managed to have my device working.
Trough ADB shell and then trough ADB I was able to copy a downloaded ROM (FLEX rom) to the device and installed it.
After a couple of hours, all is OK.
THANK YOU ALL FOR THE HELP AND INFO!!! (PS: sorry for the caps)

No Os Installed!

I left my phone charging and came back to get it. It was stuck on the google logo, I am able to boot into recovery but it says No Installed.
Is their anything else I can do other than flash it again.
I was thinking maybe the wrong partititon was checked, but everything looks fine.

Assuming that the ROM is still there, you can dirty flash the ROM zip over it, and see if it works. There's no harm in trying that.
But "No OS Installed" simply means that your /system or /boot parition are not detected (means, they are empty). Now of course, the last resort is to flash the ROM all over again.

You need to provide more information. Are you on the stock ROM or a custom ROM? Stock recovery or TWRP? Had you made any changes to the device recently?
Someone please help. I just rooted my 6P. Did a little bit of doing. Phone would never boot just the round circles. So went into TWRP and tried to wipe to start fresh, not it says no OS installed. I have no ROMS's on the phone. No boot images. Been a while since I've done this. Really need help on this one. Thanks.
Download the dp3 , boot into bootloader, connect to PC run installer script after you unzip the factory image " flash all" sit back and wait for phone to reboot.

Hey thanks a lot. Couple things, and I apologize in advance for not knowing this already.
1) what's dp3
2) how do I run installer script?
I know I shift right click and open a cmd window within fastest - where I'll unzip the file - and I know how to get the phone into Bootloader.
Again, sorry for asking for simple explanations.

Download any ROM ( like pure Nexus) and gapps
You can use USB otg to flash the ROM using twrp or transfer the ROM file from your PC to your phone in twrp (it supports mtp)
Simply flash ROM and gapps and viola

Download the required ROM and gapps, connect your phone to pc , type in google, Mini adb and fastboot, a page on XDA itself will come, download it, its small and install.
Then copy the ROM and gapps package to the location of the installation of the application.
Now open your recovery and tap on adb sideload, and swipe(twrp)
Go to your PC, open adb application a cmd will appear, type adb devices, it will start a daemon then will give you your device number, a number should appear. Then type
Adb sideload """"name of your ROM package""".zip
It will start installing, wait for few minutes.
Do the same for gapps
Adb sideload " name of gapps package ".zip
Then reboot
Its fixed

Developer preview 3 is a Android N preview and it is very fluid, battery life is good on stock and reason I recommend this because it is simple to do, gives you good options within the ROM and is good overall but that's just my opinion.

Lol. Maybe you missed the title under my name.
The dev preview isn't what he asked for, it isn't an easy solution, it isn't easy to come back from if he doesn't like it, it isn't even remotely what he needs. What he's looking for is a simple way to get his phone booted up and working again (a very simple request), and what you're suggesting is he install a beta OS (a complicated "solution").
If you really have a problem with a moderator requesting that a member posts in one place at a time (as per our rules), then I'm gobsmacked. If you'd care to look at the advice I gave him in the guide thread where he also posted you'd notice that I gave two solutions that:
A) Actually address the simplicity of his problem.
B) Give two simple, easy to execute, solutions that are the most common solutions you'll ever see anyone give a member in his situation. Solutions that don't involve having to install a developer preview that he never asked for.
I get that you're trying to help him, but the "solution" you provided him isn't right for his situation at all. There was no need to become defensive and aggressive when this was pointed out.

I'm copying files over to my Nexus now using MTP from TWRP. Can't I just copy evrything over and flash that way? Man, this seems so much more complicated than back in the day. Thanks.

Op6t stuck on fastboot screen while booting twrp

Hey guys new to xda and rooting, I've rooted in the past but on older easier phones. I'm trying to flash twrp on my op6t and when I run fastboot boot twrp.img the phone changes to fastboot screen and stays there untill I force restart. I am using abd 1.43 and I am running Android 10.3.7 T-Mobile converted to international oem unlock. I've tried newest official twrp.img and I've tried an unofficial one I found linked in another thread that was said to work better with Android 10. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The only thing I can think of is to double check that you have the correct twrp.img file for your op6t, and not one for a op6. Your adb command is correct, and as long as you did a ' fastboot devices' command, and it gave you a good result, you should be able to boot to twrp using the correct .img file..
One last thought..... did you insure that the twrp.img file is in the same folder that you started your terminal from?
Wait, one more thing that I just noticed in your question.... You say that after giving the adb command of fastboot boot twrp.img the phone changes to the fastboot screen.. You are actually in the fastboot/bootloader screen already when you give that command, yes? Just checking...

The only thing I can think of is to double check that you have the correct twrp.img file for your op6t, and not one for a op6. Your adb command is correct, and as long as you did a ' fastboot devices' command, and it gave you a good result, you should be able to boot to twrp using the correct .img file..
One last thought..... did you insure that the twrp.img file is in the same folder that you started your terminal from?

That is your problem, then. Enchilada is for a op6, and fajita is for the op6t. Use the second one, and you'll have success.
From now on, whenever you're getting roms or whatever for your op6t, always go for the fajita versions, if they give you a choice.

I wouldn't be of any help to you on that one. I've never flashed it, 'ethical hacking' and that sort of thing is outside my wheelhouse. But there is plenty of help on this great forum, someone should be able to help you out. Best to you!!
Soooo I'm gonna hijack this thread. Yee-haw.... Anywho ...
I have a OP6T Tmobile variant. I have unlocked it and converted it to international version, extracted the boot.img, patched it with magisk and achieved root. but every time I try to install a fajita labelled TWRP, or any recovery, it does the same as Donnymeoghy... Im in fastboot, do the
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
and it goes from the text screen to the OnePlus Fastboot mode wallpaper and hangs. Sometimes when I force it to reboot it does the Qualcomm Crash Mode thing... but I just reboot it again and it's fine.. but TWRP doesn't install. Any ideas, anyone?

All right I did some searching and found the AIO tool in another thread. I'll post a link below it's a great tool I made me realize that I was trying to install the wrong version of TWRP, and now it's installed and working properly
