Daaaaaaaaaaamn it's like that , oh well I'm screwed ........?
I forgot the Golden rule, always make a backup......?

If by using MSM doesn't touch that partition, I can still pull the persist.img now or not? I'm guessing no but just a thought ?

Go for RMA if you want a working FP sensor

Well my method probably didn't help .......I'll try again tomorrow.
As I thought MSM doesn't touch that partition
I used that again to get locked and stock, so no it didn't work.......damn why can't flashing stock just get everything working ?

Nope nothing I'm doing is working unfortunately, so I'm now using swipe to unlock as face unlock is garbage .......

Hi, if you want your fingerprint back, send your phone to oneplus RMA. There is nothing to do with software to fix your fingerprint issue. Look at the picture, oneplus replace a component on my phone.

Well unfortunately I didn't purchase directly from OnePlus, so I have submitted a service request, hopefully it doesn't cost me a fortune ?

I also did not buy it directly from oneplus. you just need to attach a copy of the invoice to your package for the warranty to be taken into account. And it won't cost you anything

They gave you back your warranty, how nice of them

It is possible to lock the bootloader, but you have to be working at HTC to do it.

...for now?
I reckon they have some sort of flashing box that just obliterates everything and replaces it with official software.
dont they just have to flash back the original spl, which we dont have?

That's what i think.
Unless someone can get that, no luck. Though it's probably a good thing that we can't relock the bootloaders.

I got this message, I cannot view my files on my computer. I flashed the latest factory image and did a factory reset, flashed the vendor file, but no luck. What else could it be? Drivers?
an internal problem. have you tried reaching out for warranty support?

I'm sure since I unlocked my bootloader it wouldn't do me any good, right?
did you set a fingerprint before rooting? That is why I got that message. Just go here

Hi Guys,
Anyone successfully got rid of this? i've been running Catacalysm with elementalx with no issues. But suddenly i wanted to try layers and one of the layer i tried made me to loop at colorful dots screen that turn into android. But it never turned to android and didn't boot.
i tried to restore nandroid, flash catacalysm again etc., but nothing worked. Finally i had to flash all the factory image (from bootloader to vendor) again. then restored the latest data nandroid. i had my finger print set and following http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928 i removed locksettings.db file to successfully get in the system.
however, on every restart i get this error message that my phone has an internal problem and manufacturer to be contacted. I am afraid to flash the nexus 9 fix, as someone reported that its spoiling his touch screen.
Try flashing the vendor img only in fastboot and see if that removes the error message.

Thanks! Easy fix!
Flashing the vendor img didn't work for me.
Is there any other way to do it or do I have to wipe it all and start over?
So, I see that it's based on the build number MMB29X but that's a Nexus 6 build. I have a Nexus 5x. If I flash that vendor image, will it work or mess things up? I've never had to do that before so I'm sort of lost... I'm positive that I downloaded the right build from the CM site. Thanks in advance for the help.

Do not flash that nexus 6 image!! Do not flash or install any zip or image that is not expressly for your phone!!
This is the forum for the Nexus 6p. You will have better luck finding the answer to you question somewhere here (Nexus 5x forum). If you have installed an image or zip of any type from anywhere other than that forum (or official google downloads) you are probably going to have a bad day. Good luck.
I didn't even notice.
I'm sorry.
Just opened a Google search link.
Sorry!

No worries, mate! I have found solutions to problems in forums that were not for my phone. Just pay attention to where you post you questions. The fact that you are using google first puts you years ahead of some people I've seen posting. Definitely no reason to apologize twice. :highfive:
Found the fix in the form of a ZIP in Nexus 9 forum.
Ha.
Thanks, again!
Can anybody verify that this works for the 6p before I flash a zip and Jack my phone up any further? Lol

With a file browser, head to /System/build.prop and look for this line "ro.build.description" and your system software should be listed after the Android version. I believe this is also listed in Settings/About Phone. You can view which Vendor you have installed in /Vendor/build.prop. Make sure both match up each month when you update.

OP5 bootloader relock and reencrypt

I've done some searching and I couldn't find any straight forward info about how to relock the bootloader and reencrypt my OP5.
I'll sell it but the buyer asked for it.
Can anyone shed some light and/or direct me to a thread I can rely on in order to do so?

if the customer wants it all stock, u can use that unbrick tool. it'll get ur device all stock again (I guess). do some research bout it before, as I'm still a newbie nd this may just seem a bad idea.
Good luck!✌?

You can have it even simpler(https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...bootloader-flash-twrp-t3704592/post79512430), but it's also a way.

Drm downgrade

Hi, i have oxygen os 11.0.2.2 and a few days ago i realiesed that my drm level downgraded from l1 to l3 randomly, i also red that other users have been experiecing this. Do you have any solutions?
Thank you

No there's nothing you can do about that.
Are you just on stock? Or? What is your current setup? Any mods/xposed?
Yes, i am 100% stock, bootloader locked.
Yes I'm the same just happened to me after the last couple of updates. What a terrible phone, even my older OP5 has L1.

Just curious but what kind of lock are you using? And are all your apps up to date ?
Make sure they are compliant.
Reason I ask about the apps and lock screen is that there may have to be a certain criteria met before it allows L3
4 digit PIN may not be adequate, use 6 or a password instead. Maybe don't use facelock instead go with fingerprint.
As you're on stock I can't see anything else that could affect it.
Reboot once you've clarified everything is up to date and add it should be.
I had my phone rooted, and i wanted to come back to stock in a safe way, so i used this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4084953/
My drm was fine until a few days ago. All my apps are up to date
Here are my settings. I havent got the update to 11.0.3 yet

I need it for Netflix. I can only stream SD video now
From what I gather it seems to be some sort of corruption with persist.img IMO. Something like the fingerprint issue... That's why it's not easy to fix per say via "conventional"ways we already know so far.... OnePlus probably will ignore this as it's a random hit and miss and most people that have the problem might not even realize unless they scrutinize Netflix.

No as it doesn't touch that partition.
You'd need the persist.img fix. Just back up your persist.img first, you'll need root for that. AFAIK.
Personally never had to do it

Got it. Thank you for your help
following, mine also broken and none of the tricks to fix it for certain people fixes it for me.
OnePlus forum is full of complaints on L1 downgraded to L3. To be honest it's not surprising as OP' support after initially advising me on clearing data of Google Play Services and Netflix followed by reboot,. finally tipped to post feedback on OP Forum.
Hi, I just got an email from OnePlus. It works for me now.
