Are you flashing each partition manually? Does each partition flash properly? Are you using the flash-all.bat file in Windows?
It sounds like problem some devices have where they cannot run an OS above jellybean. If I recall correctly, no one knows what causes the error or how to solve it. But definitely try the above advice and flash all the partitions separately, etc.
If the phone can't boot and is stuck at the boot logo or boot animation, try flashing the userdata.img file, boot into recovery, perform a factory wipe, and reboot.
Like the title says, my phone gets stuck at the boot logo (not bootloader) after I try to flash any custom ROM to which I solve by restoring to a stock rooted nandroid backup of 6.0.
Here's my flash process:
1. Reboot to TWRP
2. Do clean wipe
3. Flash ROM (DU for example)
4. Flash gapps
5. Reboot
TWRP flashes the ROMs and necessary gapps without any issues but no matter what it gets stuck at the boot logo after rebooting. This wasn't a problem in the past as I was using Orion, DU, AICP, etc. Would using the restore-to-stock tool help in this case? The only thing stopping me from using it is the fact that it would wipe my internal storage. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: I decided to restore to stock and wipe user data and I'm now finally able to get past the the boot logo
How long are you waiting? First boot can exceed 20 minutes just sitting there looking like it's not doing anything...
Sometimes first boot take.more than half an hour
Sorry to revive this but Im getting the same problem... Did u managed to install any rom after u flash the stock rom? Should I do that? How long should I wait on first boot?
Hi guys, been using my rooted but otherwise stock OOS rom with TWRP and Magisk for the past few weeks. Today I decided to take the plunge and try either the Lineage OS or Resurrection Remix roms.
I'm using the latest OFFICIAL TWRP.
So I decrypted following the instructions to flash "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip", then format data. All went well, so I then sent over the ROMS I wanted to try out. I started with the official ResurrectionRemix. Bootloop. Then the unofficial LineageOS. Bootloop.
Ok, well I guess I'm not gonna get to use any of the cool new OS's for awhile. I'll install the full stock firmware zip so I can have a working phone again. Bootloop.
Now when I say bootloop, the phone is booting to the BootAnimation and just repeating it. It shows the proper boot animation for whatever zip I have installed (resurrection/LOS/OOS), but it stays on there for up to 20 minutes before I have to hard reboot to the recovery again.
I decided to install the stock recovery trying a few methods. I first tried the ALL-IN-ONE tool. It said it flashed the recovery fine, so I booted to the recovery and after staying on a black screen for too long, the language options came up and I sighed a breath of relief. But before I could select English with the volume buttons, it rebooted by itself. It did this again when I manually entered recovery. So I figured maybe the tool flashed the wrong version, so I googled stock recovery for OnePlus 5, I found a few random links for stock recoveries for the OP5 and flashed them, but they more or less do the same thing or not boot at all.
I've tried changing the filesystem for both Data and System using any combinations of EXT4 and F2FS. Everything results in boot animation bootloops.
I have been flashing Roms since the Samsung Galaxy S3 and every phone since and never had any problems.
Currently when trying to install the stock Full OOS official zip with TWRP, the phone won't even go to the boot animation, it only goes to a black screen with the top LED in a light blue color.
I have also tried every version of TWRP there is for the OnePlus 5. Unofficial, Official, 3.1.1-0 and 3.1.1-1.
So I guess my question is....What filesystem is each partition supposed to be on and for which OS?
Lineage based:
System: ?
Data: ?
OOS Based:
System: ?
Data: ?
And any ideas on getting my phone running again?
And anyone have an official confirmed working version of the stock recovery? The one from ALL-IN-ONE TOOL doesn't work for me. It loads the language selection, then the screen goes black with a light blue LED on the top of the phone.
Actually I'm getting that on some roms instead of the bootanimation, like FreedomOOS. What does it mean when you have a black screen and a white LED?
Man, I really thought I was getting somewhere. If I boot into TWRP, change the Data partition to "F2FS", then flash the stock recovery, the stock recovery will boot, however, when inside the stock recovery and I try to flash the stock zip, it says "Flashing, don't turn off your device" for about 5 seconds and then goes back to the list of roms on the SD card, not having flashed anything at all.
Ok, I have the official stock recovery from the OnePlus site, but still can't use it. Here is was happens depending on how I left it with TWRP:
System: F2FS
DATA: F2FS
- Stock recovery will load after some time, freeze, then the screen goes black with white LED on top.
System: EXT4
DATA: F2FS
- Stock recovery loads fine, I can go through the settings and install from SD card, but when I do it says "Flashing, don't turn off your device" for about 5 seconds and then goes back to the list of roms on the SD card, not having flashed anything at all.
System: EXT4
DATA: F2FS
- If I try to flash stock rom through TWRP, it just boot loops on the animation forever.
I have now also tried flashing the stock boot.img, but no difference.
I have 2 things you can try!
First, replace the bootloader with stock and do a factory reset:
1. flash the stock recovery over
2. then in fastboot mode enter, fastboot oem lock (This forces the phone to wipe cache and data, and also do a complete reset)
Did it work? if yes YAY if not go to Second!
Second if your system.img is ****ed up you have to replace it!
Download the newest version of the stock rom from oneplus link here
Unpack it
research how to use an extractor to convert the system.new.dat to system.img
once thats completed enter fastboot mode and flash the new system.img over with Fastboot flash system system.img
now go into recovery and do a factory reset and wipe cache, and dalvik
Please reply back wether or not this work
"Ihave 2 things you can try! First, replace the bootloader with stock and do a factory reset..."
Is the bootloader simply the boot.img?
After doing the first thing, it simply says that the device is corrupt and will not boot. But it is locked again.
But I will have to unlock it again to do any further flashing.
Hmm, I think I may have gotten it. After unlocking again, flashing the stock recovery and boot.img, then locking again and wiping in the stock recovery, I have finally booted into the stock rom.
I still have no idea what went wrong, and I really want to know, so that in the future I can flash other Roms, like LineageOS.
I mean, I followed the steps exactly.
If it says the device is corrupt it simply means you got something else besides stock rom.
So now unlock it and try the system.img instead
It was because I still had TWRP with the stock rom.
I got it working though, thanks for your help.
Do you have any idea on what might have went wrong when trying to flash the lineageOS based roms and why it got messed up so royally?
Great to hear you fixed it ^_^
Probably some minor bug, if you wanna try installing lineageos again use the 3.1.1 TWRP build that supports backups and do a full backup so you don't have to go thru all this again
---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------
Not really just try again but remember to use TWRP 3.1.1, as 3.1.0 don't support backup and probably have been part of your problem
If your trying again and gets it successfully installed could you do me a favor and test if Drivedroid works on it? And pm me the result, I'm looking for a rom where Drivedroid will work... Haven't found one so far
You know, I did do a backup with the OFFICIAL TWRP, but it also resulted in a bootloop. I made the backup after decrypting, so I don't know why it bootlopped.

Is this the one you tried installing?
I tried like every ROM at one point yesterday, but I think I started with
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/development/rom-resurrection-remix-n-7-1-2-t3636578
Did you remember Gapps?
Also in some cases its better not to root before you have the custom rom running, you usually only need a custom bootloader like TWRP
Yeah, I tried with Gapps, and I never rooted before first trying to boot.
As of yesterday Ressurrection remix, released the first official stable build so try again your should'nt have any problems if you follow the guide 100%
Ever find a solution? I'm stuck here now. Can't get any ROM to boot up, they all get stuck on the boot animation
Bump. I am also stuck in this state
Hey!
I installed LineageOs on my Xiaomi Mi A1, everything went okay but when I installed the Gapps, it got stuck on the LineageOs logo. The volume button wasn't working right, yet somehow, I manage to enter TWRP and wipe that OS and restore the backup with the original Android One. But when I boot it, it got stuck on Android logo, unable to enter fastboot, TWRP or hard reset because of the volume button not working.
I don't know what else to do, to be honest...
p.d.: I'm new here, sorry if this is not the right section to ask.
Are you 100% sure that you have chosen right version of GApps? because i never had any issues with GApps causing boot loop. BTW what lineage os version 16 or 17 ?
I never had any luck restoring stock rom backup via TWRP either i have no idea why whenever i restore it will stuck on androidone logo.

I chose Android 10 GApps since I installed LineageOS 17. I thought it was the right version.
So TWRP can't be used for stock rom? I didn't know, maybe that's what got me stuck on Android One logo.
Any idea on how to get out from that loop? ?
Dont worry bootloop is not a problem download pixel experience it include gapps boot ur phone to twrp copy rom into internal or sd card Wipe system , data , cache and install the rom ..
TWRP should backup and restore stock image but i think there is something with this phone which wont let twrp to apply system restore i have done it 10 times and i failed everytime.
Edit: do let me know how it goes:good:

Definitely I'll try Pixel Experience! Seems like a good choice. I still need to figure out how to enter Fastboot or TWRP without the volume button.
try adb cmd if it works if not then u have to boot your device to EDL mode by test point method and then flash stock rom

Adb cmd won't recognize the device, so I'll have to boot it to EDL mode. Is there any guide here? I don't know how to do it.
