Soooo, I deleted engineering mode and it turns out I need it. - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

Today Iran across a post to turn on VoLTE and it requires onepluslogkit and engineering mode, both of which I have deleted. I found an apk for the log kit, installed it, still no engineering mode.
Not even sure I will be able to turn on VoLTE here in Thailand, but when I am stateside for the 1stQ it would be handy as service SUCKS in Las Vegas.
I deleted the logkit because it's a back door and talks to China way too much. My plan was reinstall, set up VoLTE, delete the app again.
Not a big enough issue to reflash a clean oos and start over.
Any thoughts and suggestions....contructive ones.....are appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Just dirty flash OOS, it will re-install the system apps you have deleted without removing user data.

Thanks Jager!
Never done that before. Is this what I need to do?
Reboot into TWRP
Click Install and choose my last OOS zip file
Wipe dalvik and cache
Reboot to recovery
Install TWRP
Install Magisk
Reboot system
Thanks in advance, JC

No need to wipe the caches, it just leads to increased battery drain with current versions of Android.
It looks like you have two of those steps in the wrong order. I have underlined the steps that need to be switched switched:
Reboot into TWRP
Click Install and choose my last OOS zip file
Install TWRP
Reboot to recovery
Install Magisk
Reboot system

Encryption unlocked & rooted?

I've been reading something that interested me.
https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoX/comments/2kx2lv/how_do_you_encrypt_a_rooted_moto_x/
Specifically.
I had the same issue today. Booted into safe mode, then I was able to encrypt.
Press power button to get power off popup menu. Press and hold power off. You will get another popup offering to reboot in safe mode.
Safe mode worked. This uncomplicates my process of rooting, unrooting, encrypting, and having issues rerooting after encryption. This is also a crazy easy single step process for an issue that has given me months of headaches.
You shall be the first person ever that I have given gold to.
Thank you so much!

How would encryption effect flashing a new rom?
What are your guys thoughts on encryptimg a unlocked and rooted phone?
I do not want to enable it yet till it is comfirmed its ok.
Thanks.
Um I haven't had a problem and I've encrypted the software many times as I have installed many rooms and I always encrypt after setting everything up post root so it should just work without issue. Maybe they just weren't being patient and it can take a bit of time

What about unencrypting? To say to flash a new kernel or rom?
Well that's an interesting question. I am testing twrp builds from hashbang to try and get encryption fully supported for this device in twrp. Until that time you can actually still flash zips via adb sideload no problem

Ohh. Cool. I'll have to learn adb.
@timde9
I've got twrp installed.
To get to recovrry mode, do I go into recovery mode in twrp and then the recovery button in twrp to install packages m zips from adb?
to install packages via adb is pretty simple really you just open twrp go to advanced menu and open "adb sideload" from there. Then connect your device to your computer install adb and sideload an app with this syntax
"adb sideload ***.zip"
That is radical. Ty for this.
Encryption went like a breeze.
took no more than 20 min. I feel safe now.

Just found out after encrypting twrp fails to mount data to backup. I might restore without encryption. That way I have access to backups on my phone too.
So I am having a problem restoring a backup. Since I cannot decrypt, to get rid of data from being locked down, do I flash with a rom? I am stuck.
Ok I have to do a factory reset. But not sure if this exists and works through twrp. Or if I have to do a factory reset some otherway.
Ok I skipped trying to reinstall rom and did a little searching.
This guy but with a 6P had exact issue.
For me to wipe data I need to
Code:
fastboot format userdata

That will erase all your data including files, apps, etc. Anything installed to /system should be untouched.

Thanks for confirming this. Exactly what I need when time comes to decrypt "wipe" I will use this.
I wasn't sure if it would delete the partition or wipe, this is why I asked.

Upon reading this again, just to be safe, you might want to start with just a fastboot erase. I think format does the same thing, but I have never used it.
Since you would be specifying the partition with both commands, I do not think you are in risk of completely blowing up your user partition if you choose to use fastboot format, but once again, I have always just used fastboot erase.

So I went to use this. I got an error.

Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type 'raw'
So now, that I am guessing, since twrp can now decrypt, I should just be able to go into twrp and do a full wipe and reinstall of the trupurexmm 2.5 And encryption should be gone?

5. How To Install A ROM with TWRP Recovery
Prerequisites: unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery.
Installing a ROM is a pretty straight forward and easy process. Before you install anything you should make a nandroid backup (instructions above).
Download a ROM and appropriate Gapps package and place on your device.
Boot into your custom recovery.
Perform a full wipe.
Select the wipe option from the TWRP home screen.
Select advanced wipe.
Check the system, data, cache, and dalvik cache options.
Swipe to wipe.
Install the ROM.
Select the install option from the TWRP home screen.
Navigate to where you have the ROM zip stored on your sd card and select it.
Swipe to install.
Most ROMs will run an installer script at this point but some ROMs have what is called an Aroma Installer which allow you to choose some install options before the script runs.
You will also need to install the appropriate gapps package directly after installing the ROM.
Once you've installed all necessary zips you'll have an option to wipe cache/dalvik and an option to reboot system. Wipe the cache/dalvik, hit the back button, and hit the reboot system button.

I'm having an issue encrypting. Encryption will not start on my rooted moto x. I factory reset and encrypted, but could not get root working. Flashed everything via adb sideload in twrp but root refueses to work. Any ideas

How can I install Oxygen OS 5.0.1 with an unlocked bootloader?

Good day!
Our country just received the Oxygen OS 5.0.1 update.
How can I install it with an unlocked bootloader?
I was going to relock it but I found out that if I did, my data will be gone.
The only difference in the set-up of my phone from a stock OP5 is the unlocked bootloader.
Flash through stock recovery

What do you mean?
I tried to update my phone using the normal way but after downloading and tried to install it, it failed because my bootloader is unlocked.
I just made a backup of data using codeworkx recovery. Copied the backup (Along with the files on userdata I wanted to keep) to my PC.
Wiped all and formatted data. Then installed Oreo and copied back the files and data backup from the pc to the phone and restored data with codeworkx recovery again.
Then flashed magisk 15.2 and rebooted.
Everything working fine now.

I managed to flash Nougat without locking my bootloader. But I also had to Format the Data partition to make it work. I used Titanium Backup to backup the data of the Apps and Myapplist to make a list of the apps. After installing Oreo I only needed to spent 1 hour to restoring the app data.

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.

I honestly dont see a big difference yet, but only had it for two days. Feels a bit snappier, my signal a bit stronger, and probably an improvement with battery life. I had issues upgrading but then again I flashed the wrong version of magisk. I think the most important thing is the latest android security update.

You can ask that question on the TWRP thread. May be they can answer it correctly. I guessed that twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img was for both Nougat and Oreo and that is why I used it. So, if you want to be sure you should ask that on a TWRP thread.

Hello, I was reviewing the process and just downloaded everything onto my computer and transferred onto my phone but have a few questions regarding some of the steps.
* Rebooted to TWRP and installed the Codeworkx TWRP using the Install->Image option inside TWRP
** Can I update TWRP via the official app and is that version of TWRP okay to use over the "twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img"
* 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.
** How, what and where did you back up your data? Because later you mentioned "deleted my Internal Storage". I am guessing that because the OP5 does not have an external SD card everything is wiped and the new OS 5.0.1 needs to be saved onto a computer and then re-transferred back onto the phone. I am also guessing that the backup will need to be saved onto a computer as after wiping the phone it would also delete that file too, correct?
* Mounted the internal storage by using the Mount option from TWRP main menu.
** I am assuming that this option after the data wipe is self explanatory?
* I was having problem copying files to the internal storage so I rebooted TWRP and the problem was fixed.
** This is what makes be believe all the files should be on a computer. How did you reboot and when you did, does it go directly / back to TWRP?
* 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.
** I am guessing here that once OS v8 is installed the TWRP img is no longer on the phone. I would need to transfer the TWRP back onto the phone then re-flash? Could I just install the TWRP official app and flash that way?
Thanks

Stuck with a OP5 with no OS

Hi everyone,
I have been happy with the Marshmellow version the OS since I bought my phone when it came out (Unlocked, Encrypted). I have performed one update since I had the phone. Today, after seeing the latest posts after not being on this site for a year, I decided to make the move to upgrade to OOS 5.1.0!! Why not, nothing else going on this weekend. I upgrade TWRP to 3.2.1-1, I make a full backup, I follow the upgrade instructions... it fails with the continuous spinning balls on reboot. I Do some research... oh, it is "challenging" to upgrade but possible. No big deal, I will just restore my backup and try again at some other time. My backup restore fails Error 255, I try the fixeS I found such as unmounting data... No Luck). Can not restore the data partition. I guess I should have decrypted everything prior to backing up based on what I read later.
I at least backed up my SD card using adb prior to all this, so I decided to just reinstall ANY OS to get my phone running again for tonight. Well I have not had much luck. I downgraded TWRP to 3.2.1-0, I have tried installing:
OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_033_all_1804110400_eb1766 - Originally installed with not errors but phone reboots back into TWRP after a failed 1st reboot. (I do get a "failed to mount /vendor")
lineage-15.1-20180423-nightly-cheeseburger-signed with Gapps (Gapps failed with I think a error 7)
I was messing with the data partition, wiped, formatted, etc. I am sure this is some of the issues. One other thing is that TWRP always boots to the "keep System Read only" I find this strange and had never seen before. I select to allow modification, but it seems like nothing changes on reboot.
At this point I would just like to get a stock OS image on the phone. IS there something I am missing?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3698370
Sounds good, let me give it a try.
I've been thru this already. Here is the simplest way to get your 1+5 back to work, while having the latest LineageOS installed. It takes a bit of time and patience, but it works:
Using fastboot, reinstall TWRP 3.2.1-1 (or newer, if any)
Wipe all partitions, namely Dalvik/ART cache, Cache, System, Data and Internal storage
Sideload the latest OOS (version 5.10 or later, if any) with Android 8.1. This version will be OK for LineageOS 15.1 and you will no longer have that stupid error 7 when installing LOS 15.1
If OOS boots into recovery and asks for passwords or PIN or schema ... click on the "forgotten" link. OOS Recovery will then remove encryption and wipe out any data that was left.
Reboot phone, and start OOS session. Do not use any security stuff (PIN or schema or whatever) that would encrypt the phone. At least not now - If necessary, you will add it at the end of this whole process.
Once OOS is working, reboot to Bootloader. Since TWRP has been erased with OOS default recovery, you will have to reinstall it.
From TWRP, wipe Dalvik/ART cache, Cache, and Data partitions. This time, do not touch System or Internal storage
Sideload Lineage OS latest version. If you need to use Google Apps (e.g. Open Gapps), sideload it now before rebooting
Reboot (you might have to reboot twice, don't worry about that).
Once booted in LineageOS, do whatever you like - add accounts, root phone, etc.
Enjoy! (you may want to shout "Vive la France!", well ... don't hesitate!)
Sorry for my poor English. If anything here is unclear to you, please let me know.
I Have no idea what happened. I came home to start working on my phone, powered it up, and boom I have Android 8.1. Ok, Whatever...
Now I wonder if I should go for lineage or not.

It all depends on how important privacy is to you. If you don't care, then stick to the original OnePlus firmware. If you do, then switch to LineageOS.

twrp issues

Hi o am on the latest twrp for this phone. I don't have my data encrypted and when I boot into recovery from the phone using the reboot into recovery method it works fine. Bit if I power off the phone and reboot into recovery it says data is encrypted and asked for a password. I tried my lock screen password but it doesn't work. So I'm thinking that I should just wipe the entire phone and start fresh. I aslo noticed that since the last term update my Los updater doesn't work it won't run the updater script.
What would be the best way to do this? Should I just wipe the phone and then adb sidload the latest Los gapps and magisk? Or should I just wipe then push the files to my phone and install the from twrp? I have never done either of those operations but it doesn't look too complicated.n
Any suggestions?

twrp not able to acces internal files

hey there,
Im on oxugen os 9.0.12 rooted latest magisk, with twrp-3.2.3-37-fajita.
TWRP worked perfect, untill I went inside twrp and swiped to factory reset with the intention to go back to oxygen os 9.0.6. However, when I go to twrp and trie to acces the stock zip file, I see many weird folder with code names like 56546534tggsdag4r, very strange. I am not able to acces the zip file from twrp anymore in order to flash.
The phone is able to boot back to oxygen Os 9.0.12, I tried to do local upgrade with 9.0.6, but phone wont allow me because it says downgrading is not allowed.
How can I fix this guys.
I just found out that its possible to local upgrade the same oxygen os 9.0.12, after upgrade is done, it usually goes back to stock recovery, from there I will wipe everything, and reinstall twrp again, maybi that will work out.
those random letters in a file name can't access it means you're encrypted and can't do anything till you format

I did not know, so this means to never format a rom from twrp.

right after you format data (you can wipe data too) don't reboot hit home reinstall twrp zip then flash magisk when you did ota it did it you format data is it
You don't need to format data. You can sideload whatever zip files you need to, at least that's what I did. Google will help you learn how to adb sideload with twrp if you need help with it.
