Open Beta Not Flashing ( Vendor Partition Problem ) - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

I have Oneplus 5, I was initially running Open Beta 14, I installed Mokee ROM for Android P and later again flashed OP5 to OxygenOS 5.1.3 Android 8.1 using Qualcom MSM Tool.
But I am not able to Flash Open Beta(s) now,, I tried Open beta 13 and 15, none worked.
I clean wiped using stock recovery, didnot work.
Wiped using TWRP by BluSparx 3.2.3 - vendor still not mounted( as it doesnot exists) and - still Open Beta not flashed after wipe.
I also switched to Android 7.1.1 and tried installing Open Beta 13 and 15 - still didnot work.
Please help me switch to Open Beta ROM for Oxygen OS Oneplus 5

First flash open beta 12 then you can flash ob 14 or 15.

Have you read the post above yours? It's mandatory to update to a special ob first so vendor partition will be created.

It's not made clear in the installation notes for OB14, 15, 16 etc but yes as @bkma says, you need to flash OB 12 first if you are coming from non-OB.

The problem is that oneplus did not implement clean flashing of every beta/stable. The updates are always seamless ota updates, hence its not possible for normal users to skip updates and continue with ob16 when coming from OB11 for example.
That's a thing people don't understand here. The process provided by oneplus is fool proof, but when you did not follow the official way, it can be hard, as always.
Therefore its not mentioned in later open beta changelogs or installation instructions. It was mentioned when vendor partition came up.

I see where you are coming from, and you're right, if you were on the Open Beta program all along, this is fool proof.
I bought a new OnePlus 5 about a month ago, I think OB14 was the latest beta release about then. I had not been messing around with rooting, 3rd party roms, kernels, twrp, anything like that. I was just looking for OnePlus official way to get on to the latest beta. It took me a bit of searching through old forum posts (posts which were made before the time I was even thinking of getting a OP5) to find out how to do it.
The information on the OnePlus website currently is insufficient for new beta users to install it from stable. (unless if you go digging through the old release notes) It's not a complaint, just pointing out that it is a subtlety of going to the latest OB that people would have to be aware of if they are new to the OP5 (or if they have recently decided to move from stable to beta).

Well you all would have already know that-↓
Lineage 15 is released for our Z2 Plus and is also available for download
I tried to install that rom
But I was getting error 7 and then error 6 !!
But Somehow I managed to get rid from it installed the rom successfully as well as gapps but it's not booting up
:crying:
And yes I how did I manage to install it?
I was getting error 7 and error 6 then I opened the "update script" file into the rom and deleted all asserts coding and even then it did not work. So after trying for 2 to 3 times it installed easily but was not booting up.
Just want that if you guys can check it and somehow it boots up

How did you finally manage to install the rom? Did you succeed? You did not write clearly. And where are the files located?
Wait for Oreo releases of the XDA Devs here instead of flashing untrusted stuff from the internet.
Z2 Plus is not officially supported by Lineage OS for now, so possibility of getting early builds is kind of unlikely, so please verify the source of the download once and refrain from flashing anything thats not released by our devs for now
I am new to XDA and That's why I was not permitted to add any external link to the rom (files) itself.
If I still can add external link so please tell me how to do it
And yes I how did I manage to install it?

I have read it all and That's why posted a question here so that you guys can somehow make it bootable because I am too excited and Oreo is ported without boot related bugs even for the older device like Moto x 1st Gen then why not for our device?

calm yourself and just gently show patience.
the devs here on XDA are working on Oreo, check the Offical AEX thread, Davide stated that the next build is going to be Oreo.
I wouldn't flash any ROM without having the ability to see the source code atleast. The site you found the ROM at does not look legitime to me at all.
Who knows what it will do/did to your device.
I mean if you dont care..

failed to mount partition '/vendor' (invalid argument)

I got a new OP5 (had a OP3). I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, and was looking to root and load LOS 15.1.
I did that, sort of, but then got spooked because every zip I flashed, I got this error:
failed to mount partition '/vendor' (invalid argument)
I flashed back to stock and all seemed well, though I also got stock recovery. When I installed TWRP again and then a custom kernel, I got the same error. Then I couldn't boot with the custom kernel and now I'm headed back to stock.
When I go in to Mount in TWRP, it won't let me select vendor to be mounted.
What's causing that and how do I fix it?
TWRP is just complaining about the missing 'vendor' partition, that only exists in Project Treble ROMs. Therefore, there's nothing to fix. Ignore the error.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76621704&postcount=285
That one has been modified to remove the warning.
As already wroted, it's just a "cosmetic" bug. Imho it's not a good thing to fix it: every time TRWP release a new patch of their software, you have to wait a lone programmer that modifies the new patch in order to remove this message error.
Consider also this: with next release of Android, named P for now, that is already available as beta for Oneplus 6, the project Treble will be mandatory and not optional as for Android Oreo. There are already some rumors that Oneplus 5/5T will receive update to Android P, and the problem with vendor partition will be gone forever.

That's true, but till then, this lone programmer (me ) will patch any updated TWRP that is released so that the the error isn't displayed if you aren't on a treble-compatible ROM.
Thanks all. That makes sense, and also explains why I didn't see it previously with TWRP for OP3.

Check out this article, point 3 under "Will my device benefit from Project Treble".
Official statement on Oneplus forum. That part in particular:
Over 135,000 of our users signed up to review the OnePlus 6 early via The Lab. With the OnePlus 6 device in their hands, they'll be among the first in our community to be able to download the Android P Build. (OnePlus 5/5T friends, we'll have something nice lined up for you later this year.)

For me that means that they will release Android P on Oneplus5/5T after the initial release for Oneplus 6.
And Project Treble mandatory, link on discussion on reddit. That part in particular:
Devices launching with Android O will come Treble-enabled out of the box.

But there does not mention anything about that is compulsory Treble on Android P (on preoreo phones), just it says its compulsory on Oreo recent-released devices

It's true for Android Oreo and above. Treble is the reason why there are Android P Betas available for non-Google devices. Also, here's an excerpt from this article: "Going forward, updates to phones will become far more common, as all devices that launch with Android Oreo or newer are required to implement Treble."

Yes I agree with you with that... However... "All devices launched with oreo"... One plus 5 is not one of those... Just 6 and incoming..

You're spot on. I never said that OP5/5T will definitely get Treble. Also, I'm not the OP, if you haven't realized that yet. OnePlus got away with having to mandatorily provide Treble to the OP5/5T by launching the device with Nougat (but making it upgradeable to Oreo) -- meaning that these devices don't come under the category of devices that launch with Android Oreo, thereby putting OnePlus under no compulsion to provide Treble to these devices. However, there are rumours that have been floating around that even though there is no compulsion, OnePlus is considering providing Treble to these devices.

"This package is for OnePlus 5 devices, this is OnePlus 5T"

Hi guys!
So I rooted my OP5, tested a few custom ROMs, decided to go back to the stock ROM. Installed the most recent stable version and now I tried to install a downloaded full Beta stock ROM and voila:
This package is for OnePlus 5 devices, this is OnePlus 5T
Do you have any guess what is the problem and how it can be corrected? Is it the TWRP's problem? I tried both the base version and codeworkx. What is my main fear the problem may persist even with any future stable versions.
Any insight is welcomed, thanks
I don't know what the updater script checks for. Could you send it to me so I can have a look? You find it somewhere inside the Meta-Inf folder inside the rom zip.
Hey man, thanks for the help, I solved the problem by installing Beta 12 first, THEN Beta 14 package. Well, I'm now subject to other problems, but that is the way of "hacking" phones

XD whatever does the job

What is the latest stock/beta Oreo 8.1 I can get on the 5?

I just picked up the 5 for a family member. She needs working Xposed (or rather, *I* need working Xposed to set everything up well), so no Pie. What is the latest Oreo I can get? The official ROM mirror thread lists 5.1.7 for stable and, for some reason, two open beta 21 zips. OOS has releases up to 5.1.11 on other Oneplus devices. Am I right in assuming they didn't release them for the 5? Is OB 21 farther along than 5.1.7? If so, which of the two zips should I be using? I apologize for posting, but neither search nor bruteforce reading of threads has yielded an answer.
The fixes listed in post-5.1.7 releases look valuable. "Fixed system stability issues", for one. Am I jut SOL on those?
Cheers,

You can find download links (including mirrors) of all the OxygenOS Oreo builds for the OnePlus 5 from here. OxygenOS 5.1.7 (the last stable build based on Android 8.1 Oreo) was released after OxygenOS Open Beta 21 (the last open beta build based on Android 8.1 Oreo), so I suggest you go for the stable build as it might have some patches that aren't there in the open beta build.

Yeah, I've seen the mirror thread obviously - and even started trying to read all of it. It's brilliant. However, while it lists all of the available stock/OB zips, what it doesn't do is actually explain what they contain and the chronology, hence my questions. Thanks for the info, much appreciated. Would've taken me ages if not for your help mate

Yes, that's because you (we) need to wait the official update to Android 9 Pie, after that, we can flash these ROMs.
How is OmniROM Pie Alpha 5.2? Works fine? Battery life etc...?

Yes ROM is very good, I am using it now on both phones, satisfied, only problem is stock camera
gets stuck if u switch between vdo/image, and some time even if u do not switch, still it will close after a while
So have to use Open camera or Google camera, for which I am not satisfied with both of them

How do you have installed the ROM?
I followed the guide on OpenKirin site but I'm stuck in the page says my device is unlocked and can't be trusted, I've pressed power key to confirm the boot but nothing, it says: "Your device is booting now" but it doesn't go on.
I've tried with another ROM (OmniROM Pie Alpha 5.2 and OmniROM Pie Alpha 4) but same error...
Why?

if you try recording a voice message, the sound is very glitchy and it has a lot of static in it, it's probably happening cause we don't officially have EMUI 9

Hi,
I installed it on my rne-l21c432b338, then on b340 and on b341.
he always starts.
I use hurupdater to install the stock firmware. (check that you have the three firmware files of the same version.)
a faith installed, I go to REBOOT, select recovery. do factory rest and wipe cache. it restarts clean.
then connect to the PC.
with adb and fastboot, I install SYSTEM.img omnirom. (of course omnirom alpha 5.2
not the new version it is only for emui 9.)
faith flashed, unplug the cable and pushed it into recovery mode and make factory rest and wipe cache.
he starts for me.

In the past I had already installed a ROM from OpenKirin, but there was some problems with it and then I removed it with eRecovery. It has downloaded stock ROM (about 2,7GB if I remember right) and installed it. So I think I'm already on stock ROM (or am I wrong?)
Today I've tried to install 2 ROMs from OpenKirin and nothing happen, I get stuck on "The device is booting now..."
I've never used HuRUpdater (like I said before, I've always installed the stock ROM using eRecovery).
I don't understand what files I need (I know where to find files, here, but there I don't understand anything ahaha)
Probably is this the problem?
how do i upgrade to emui on my mate 10 pro is it even possible with an unlocked bootloader without relocking? the omnirom one is extremely laggy for me even the notificationpanel is extremely difficult to pull down, trying to install the latest rom thats for emui9 just gives a bootloop
