I'm on a G5 Plus unlocked retus model XT1687 (I think). I was using Android 8.1 that came with the OTA update and decided to try a custom ROM.
So here is a list of most of my problems/f**kups:
Installed AEX based on 9, It bootlooped.
In the panic (first time messing with ROMs) accidentally deleted my backup.
Used this two guides to get out of the bootloop by fastbooting stock N firmware, it worked.
Flashed AEX again, this time It booted but It wasn't registering the fingerprint reader and I didn't have LTE and after and update It bootlooped again. Fastbooted stock firmware again, this time I had no signal altogether.
Flashed LineageOS based on Android 9, asked for password and then said that data was corrupted.
Formated, not wiped, tried again and this time had signal but no fingerprint, LTE etc.
Followed this instructions and got stock N working perfectly.
Flashed AEX again, no figerprint or LTE.
Re did previous step to get N again.
Flashed LineageOS again, had LTE but still no fingerprint reader.
Flashed stock N for the last time.
So right now I have Android N and can download the 8.1 OTA update but It fails to install. I would like to get LineageOS working or maybe AEX, but I don't really trust It (altough all the problems I had with It were most likely my fault). Or at least get stock 8.1 running again. this seems to be what I need to get stock 8.1 but after all that I did I'm not sure which steps I should follow.
Thanks for any help.
First thing to do after getting signal and LTE working is to make a TWRP back-up of persist and EFS folders.

Hi all,
This is what actually happend after installing H2oS 2.5.1....
Flashed h2o with twrp recovery stuck up at setup wizard...
So i used OOS unbrick tool to get back to stock but that stuck up at oneplus logo..
so next i flashed using hydrogen restore tool to 5.1.1
after that again flashed latest ver of h2os
so finally it worked..but due t few reasons i wanted to go back to oos..nothing help me
Installed TWRP on h2os 2.5.1 than copied my backup which was made with twrp dated [2016-04-08--17-02-42]
restored done setup done
then i get promp of software update oos 3.1...
tried updating and same happened null baseband null iemi.
SO went back to oos 3.0.1
Any solution you guys found out how to make thing back on track.
Unfortunately there is no way back now, have to wait for an oxygen update. But you can use cm 14.1, it works fine. Flash hydrogen 2.5 to fix your imei and install cm after.
Hi guys,
So I have a lot of data problems with Nougat roms (7.0 and 7.1.1).
CM based roms don't work for me, no data at all.
Last week I tried CitrusCaf 3.0 and my data worked a day then disappeared...
So I tried CitrusCaf 2.2 and it worked great until a few hours ago, I rebooted on TWRP didn't flash or do anything then rebooted the system and no data ....
I backed up and tried fix contexts, still no data.
I am on TWRP 3.0.2-2.
Do you think TWRP did something? Is it possible? Can we fix it?
I got the same problem, but only in 7.1.1 roms. If the roms were 7.1.0 or lower, data was working fine. I tried several firmwares and nothing. Only in cm based roms.
I have my problem fixed now. I have flashed a miui rom with miflash via edl(my bootloader was locked), and applied to official bootloader unlock.
I already got the official unlock, and I tried cm 7.1.1 and data works.
So I just need to grab a rom from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/links-direct-official-download-links-t3449488, reboot into edl, flash with Miflash and reboot then fastboot twrp, rom, gapps....
My bootloader is already officialy unlocked.
Well, at least it worked for me. You can try. If your bootloader is unlocked, you don't need to go from edl. You can do it from fastboot. You might need to flash firmware after coming from miui.
I installed Oxygen OS 3.5.6 with twrp since I wanted to get everything back to stock. I successfully installed the firmware but could not remove twrp since I can't connect my phone to my pc at the moment. Now after my phone's battery died today I can't access twrp anymore and it seems to be replaced by the stock recovery (which i'm perfectly fine with anyway), just wondering if I can lock the bootloader now and if twrp is completely gone?

You have to reflash twrp. But a hybrid one I believe ^
That's what happened to me anyway. It's gone, just gotta flash a new one I believe.
I always use stock recovery when flashing stock OOS. OnePlus recommends this.
Hi everyone, i messed up today, i was running LOS 15.1 +twrp +unlocked. Everything was fine till i updated lineage Os to last version and i decided to flash the last firmware dec 2018 for 9.0 android. Since i lost audio while calling and fingerprint. I decided to flash nov-18 Firmware, it didn't solved the issue, then
I decided to flash stock rom using Mi flash the following versions with the clean_all script.
- tissot_images_7.8.23_20170823.0000.00_7.1_61cf97d794
- tissot_images_8.1.10_20180110.0000.00_8.0_8ea503201b
Since still bootlooping, no network, the screen is always locking itself....
The IMEI are still here, i just want to downgrade to earlier firmware
I unfortunately have no twrp backup of the EFS partition.....
my mistake...thanks for your help.
Hi everybody.
I've been in possession of an European LG G6 (H870) for quite 2 years as of now.
2 days ago i decided to install the unofficial build of lineageOs 17.1. Everything went smoothly with the install but then I realized that all sensors had stopped working. During the last 48 hours I've tried everything I could to fix the problem, spacing to reflashing stock Android Pie, to downgrading etc...
Now I noticed that the persist partition on my device (where the sensors data are stored) is completely empty.
So I'm asking if anyone in possession of root or a custom recovery could upload a copy of his working persist.img in order to flash it on my device.
Thank you all in anticipation for the support.
When you are coming back from Custom ROM to Stock. You need to flash Nougat first. Then you can flash Oreo, Pie or smth else
I've already downgraded to nougat and flashed pie back, but persist is still empty.
So again I'm asking for a working .img, even just to check its content.
The procedure is the following:
In custom recovery or in the terminal if you have root, just type "dd if=/dev/block/sda13 of=/sdcard/persist.img", then pull it via adb or with file explorer.
Thanks again.
