I installed the official T-Mobile 5.0.1 update N900TUVUFOB6 via Samsung Kies and rooted via Chainfire. I can take pictures okay but when I try to record videos through the stock Camera app, it freezes then reboots the phone, which happens every time! I've tried to install other camera apps from the Play Store but none of them work for video recording. I suspect it's an api issue. Has anyone run into this or know what the problem is? I've even wiped cache and did a factory reset through Recovery but still the same problem. I really need to be able to record videos on my phone, so if anyone has a solution I would be so grateful!

My stock rom I made doesn't have that problem, my wife records my kidz all the time, no issues... try wiping if you left your data, I always wipe all data before upgrading to any rom...
check my signature or in the Tmobile development thread.. completely stock...

I have the same issue. Wiped the entire phone including internal sdcard, went back to stock firmware but nothing worked. Taking pictures works but as soon as press the record button it freezes and a few seconds later the phone will reboot.
Just to let you guy know what I am sure is going on, this video recording damage has been caused by none other than aosp! if you all have previously installed liquid smooth like I did in 3 separate devices
1.tmo s4
And 2 note 3's (one is tmo and one is sprint) I think it is any asop although each person having this damage to their device should answer if they previously installed aosp and specifically liquid smooth.
I was going to assume this damage was only going to happen on tmo note 3, so I tested it on 2 other phones and sure enough they must be forced to remain running asop (the s4 has candy 5) the sprint note 3 currently has the ever so bugging liquid smooth. I also have tried every clean Odin delete everything known to us layman's on the planet and now I am looking for a NV restore. I already tried so sort of a NV item restore Using the dialer *#9090# then pressing Q and then pressing 0000 then option 2,1,2,3 then all with no change. I read somewhere in the xda's grapevine lol about a flash able zip called "Brick_Loop_FIX_afterRestoringBackup" that starts an built in feature that restores or rebuilds the modem then upon boot restores the NV items. I am assuming they are the same thing. Although, with no thought it will fix anything I will flash the zip tomorrow and let you know. I got a couple things to back up incase whatever may happen capin, unless one of you guys try it first, let me know
Haven't heard from the grapevine what protocol, ims or a static rebuild even does except if your imei is all zeros and your don't have any network or stuck in a boot loop after a nandroiid restore I erpose this will fix those couple thing I have read. Although I assume the dialer hidden menu NV rebuild does not really NV rebuild all like it says it does or the all its referring to is really just the first 2 options that are just a couple basic stuffs or it would have fixed my aosp camera damage. Well never listen to anyone who says aosp is all the rave and how you should try it out lol its blackmail to get you to stay on a bugged out ROM forever! LOL

I had this same exact problem and i fixed it finally after hours of research and trial and error. I noticed that my baseband and bootloader was Nb4 even tho i had flashed lollipop, so i ended up flashing stock lollipop using odin from http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-tmobile/general/5-0-n900tuvufob6-extracted-stock-t3047672 then after flashing i downloaded the lollipop bootloader and used odin 3.09 to flash that bootloader in BL, and the modem in ap, video camera works now and youtube has been fixed also.
How does one find the bootloader version? I checked and noticed the baseband is in fact Nb4, although looking for the bootloader version I just seen the build is Ob6.

Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
it tells everything including bootloader version
OK thank you, I will check it out. what does the baseband and bootloader need to be? I mean what does yours read so I know what files to search for and load using version 3.09?
BL and AP, what do they need to show exactly?
Thanks a lot for the help, if this fixes the video recorder I will post many places that you fixed the problem and link back to this thread. =)
After looking at my current setup it does make sense according to what you are saying if the current firmware is 0b4
And both the baseband and bootloader are Nb4.
Should they all 3 be ob4?
- never mind my son said I am sweating over nothing, just to make sure they are all ob4. If this works I am going to be able to use my camera again! Thanks again!

I'm fairly new to custom roms and flashing. On my AT&T Galaxy S3, I decided to update to 4.3. However, I tried updating ota using the About Phone > Software Update, however, that wasn't working for me (It kept saying: No updates available). I knew this wasn't true, so I searched around and found an option (In which all I had to use was the stock recovery and flash it on there, so I did. However, I found out about Knox and how rooting is not an option with knox, so I decided to look into custom roms. I got a custom recovery, noticed warranty bit 1, don't really care about that since I'm out of warranty anyways. So I flashed a lot of custom roms and their versions (Cm 10.2/11, Paranoid Android, Slim Bean, Illusion, and more) only to find out that I can't play any videos (browser, youtube, 3rd party apps, gallery, and even recording camera didn't work)(Also audio doesn't work at all). Now I want to switch back to regular stock 4.3 using the same file I used before. I tried flashing with a custom recovery (twrp and cwm) and it kept giving me:
(assert failed: file_getprop("/system/build.prop". robuild.fingerprint")
== "samsung/d2uc/d2att:4.1.2/JZO54K/I747UCMG2:user/release-keys" ||
file_getprop("/system/build.prop". robuild.fingerprint")
== "samsung/d2uc/d2att:4.3/JSS15J/I747UCUEMJB:user/release-keys"
E:Error in /sdcard/update43.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted)
I searched around, and other people got this error mostly on a nexus when trying to get back to stock firmware. I found out that I need the stock recovery for the samsung galaxy s3 At&t, which I've searched around, and I can't find. Does anyone know a thread, or can upload their at&t samsung galaxy s3 stock recovery?
Status 7 is an error in the updater script. You may have a bad zip. Have you checked the MD5SUM in the zip that you downloaded?

I re-downloaded the zip (which worked before on stock recovery). I don't know how to check the md5sum (On most roms, maybe this one since this one doesn't get to the point where it checks for it, it says checking for md5sum, then later says no md5sum found and skips). Maybe this is because It's expecting me to be on the "samsung/d2uc/d2att:4.1.2/JZO54K/I747UCMG2" version so I can update to the "samsung/d2uc/d2att:4.3/JSS15J/I747UCUEMJB" version. On Keyes 3 under my device apparently my current version is:
I747UCUEMJ2/I747ATTEMJ2//I747UCUEMJ2
And Keyes tells me that my devices current firmware is not supported to update firmware via keyes. Any ideas how to get back to stock? Also, does anyone have a clue why any sound and any video won't work on custom roms for me?

I've had this issue before, VERY annoying. What I did was I downloaded a program for Windows called Notepad++ which allows you to edit the md5sum file.
What you need to do is unzip the file and search for the md5sum file and open it in Notepad++. Delete the lines that read "assert" and have the troublesome ID you mentioned in the OP. Re-zip the file and try flashing it again. Should be fine.

I already have notepad++, but where do I search for the md5sum, since I've wanted to use Odin to flash this but it isn't a tar or md5 file. Should I check the updater script? And is this the reason audio and video don't work on any custom room I try?

Sorry for sounding like a noob, but I am new to all of this. All I need is some help, I would prefer to run custom roms over stock (I like Illusion) except for video won't work as well as audio? Is there any way to fix that at least, or is there a way to fix my rom/recovery?

I am flashing this right now. I hope that this will work. It turns out that only mxplayer videos work, and no other third party video app. I looked around and these issues are most likely from not updated binaries or something, as mentioned in some threads.
Turns out that this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2252932 doesn't work on my phone since it just never boots from the glowing samsung logo. I have attached a link to my video of how audio and video don't workand and only work on mxplayer.

You will need to flash a kernel to get the wi-fi to work. Try this one. works for me and many others who have suggested it. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23196940996968860

I got the wifi to work, but I still can't record video or hear audio. However, youtube does play up to 4 seconds of video, then the video freezes, but the bar resets to 0 and keeps moving forward and I don't see any more video other than the frozen frame. Could this be because of my custom binary count being 13?

The custom binary count just means you have been busy flashing non-official stuff. It is not related to your audio problem. Are you still on S3rx? Have you Factory wiped since discovering these issues?

Yes, I'm still on S3rx. When I first reboot my phone, I can't see the clock widget on the lock screen, but when i unlock and relock, it appears. Also, my imei and phone info is wiped, but since that doesn't explain audio and video not working, it doesn't matter at the moment. What else could be causing audio and video to not work?

Sorry but I'm gonna ask a few more questions and see what I can find,
1. When you last tried to flash the stock 4.3 update, did you use the OTA zip that includes Knox and the bootloader?
2. Have you attempted to flash the stock rooted Att S3 image without the bootloader attached. See here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540998
3. Without imei you aren't receiving service are you?
The reason I'm asking so much about the stock ROMs is because somehow the audio/video issue you are having may be fixed by going back to stock and wiping everything and reinstalling your kernel again. I have not experienced an issue like this myself, these are just the steps I would take.

I'd recommend heading here and installing the upndwn4par stock ROM again. You did flash the one with the bootloader via that link you sent me. This link does not contain that bootloader. It has already been removed. Flash this and then wipe everything (cache,dalvik and full wipe/factory reset). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540998.

Hi All,
I'm am absolutely stumped and have tried what feels like everything I can to resolve my issue to no avail. So, I'm hoping to find success from the wisdom of the seasoned XDA community.
I have an SGH-T999 with baseband UVDMD5. In early September, my camera stopped working. When I open the camera app, I'm greeted with the infamous "Can't connect to camera" message. The front camera works fine (via Skype), but the rear camera does not. I've tried all of the following but the camera still won't work:
1) Unrooted and re-flashed the stock root66;
2) Finding the correct "SLIM_ISP.bin" file, placing them in the /data folder, and set the permissions to 777;
3) Re-flashed the stock UVDMD5 bootloader, firmware, and modem;
4) Took the phone to a shop to have a new camera installed and they couldn't get the new hardware to work either (so, it's definitely software related);
5) Cleared the app cache and fixing permissions in recovery;
6) Restored a Nandroid from a previous state of the device when the camera was fully operational;
I don't know what else to do. PLEASE help me folks. I really want my camera back. Thank you in advance for your time and insight.
I've attached a Catlog I recorded while attempting to open the camera, if that helps at all.
just a thought , but if you have a nandroid backup could you uninstall current camera and then grab camera from nandroid and install it ?
or if have titanium backup hit the install button on camera apk (even though its already there). these methods have worked for me with browser issues.
just an idea.
good luck.
err on the side of kindness
Have you considered replacing the camera hw? It's very easy to do and the part usually costs less than $10.

Hi Doc, I tried that. Sorry. Should have listed it. I took it to a shop to have a new camera installed and they couldn't get the new hardware to work either. So, it's definitely software related.
Thanks for the suggestion though. Please let me know if you have any other ideas.

mrrocketdog,
Would that work if the camera doesn't work even when the Nandroid is restored (despite that fact that the camera was functional when the Nandroid was created)? Thank you.
At this point I think that would be worth a shot. If it doesn't work though I'd have to say it sounds like it could be hardware related, even though you replaced the module. Might be a problem on the motherboard or something like that.
The only other thing I can think to try though is to flash a 4.1.1 rom. Then using the hidden code to write the camera firmware to the device. If the firmware got corrupted somehow, this could fix it. The problem though, is if you've updated to 4.3 firmware, it probably won't work. They patched against our ability to write the cameras firmware ourselves. If this was done in the controlling app, it may just work. However, if it was patched in the base firmware, there won't be any way I know of to do this.
I'll post the code in a min. Gotta hunt it down again...

Ok here are the codes:
*#34971539#
*#7412365#
Enter in the stock dialer.
I'm pretty sure the first one is the one you need, but both are camera codes which is why I gave both.
If it works, it will open a menu called Camera Firmware Std
You can check the firmware versions first if you like. If the phone fw is older than the cam fw, and you do this, it is possible you could loose some features. But if so, I imagine flashing the device firmware again will update back to where it should be.
To write the camera firmware, just choose Phone to Cam FW Write.
Good luck!

i think that would be the point. the camera was functioal when the nand was created.
dont know exact function , but what about going into recovery and fixing permissions.
and going into settings>apps>camera and clearing cache ? wouldnt take but a minute and it already doesnt work so....

Thank you for your response and the suggestions.
That point makes complete sense. However, what I'm saying is that I've restored s Nandroid from a state when the camera was functional. However, the camera still doesn't work despite restoring a Nandroid from a previously operational state. So, please correct me if I'm wrong, but, considering that, what good would extracting the apk from the Nandroid do if restoring the entire Nandroid doesn't make the camera work?
Regarding your second suggestion, I have tried clearing the app cache and fixing permissions, but it didn't work. I'll add this to my list of attempted fixes in my original post.
Thank you very much mrrocketdog. I sincerely appreciate your continued interest and support. I hope we can figure this out.
well dang it ! hopefully someone else will chime in with some ideas. sorry i didnt have anything new. will keep thinking.

Good luck!

Hi DocHoliday77,
Thank you very much for the reply and the suggestion. Your advice seems sound.
I'm not sure what you mean by "controlling app." I'm afraid my knowledge is too limited to tell you if I've flashed the 4.3 firmware.
Not sure if this helps, but I have intentionally not upgraded beyond the stock baseband UVDMD5 version. I understand the baseband versions following UVDMD5 are bad due to the addition of KNOX and the inability to flash back to previous baseband versions.
Currently, I have flashed Carbon rom, which states the Android version is 4.4.4. However, I don't know if the Android version number is reflective of the firmware.
Regarding flashing a 4.1.1 rom, is there a rom you suggest that would be better for this than others? Should I just grab an older version of Carbon or would it be best to use Odin to flash back to a stock root66 version of 4.1.1 ?
Btw, not sure if you saw, but I uploaded a Catlog I recorded while trying to launch the camera app. I don't know if that will reveal anything or not. I can't make two cents of Catlogs other than to identify that errors are occurring. I really hope this isn't a faulty motherboard.
Thank you again for your continued interest and support. I really appreciate your advice. It means a lot. I hope we are able to resolve this.
If you never updated beyond 4.1.2, you can fully downgrade to 4.1.1 and try that method I posted. The app is just the one that controls the cameras dialer code. You don't really need to worry about it. Don't remember which it is right now anyway...
If you like though, first just flash stock 4.1.2. The code might work there. I just can't remember if it was patched there or in 4.3. You'll know you need 4.1 1 if you open it and the firmware write choice is greyed out.
I suggest just flashing the root66 firmware rather than a rom. This way everything you need is included. If it does solve the problem you can flash back to whatever you like.

Ok Doc. I flashed root66 T999 UVDLJC (Official JB Firmware - Latest JB 4.1.1 Firmware). After rebooting the phone, I entered the first code you provided - *#34971539# - into the phone dialer. This pulls up an all black screen with a gray colored placeholder/header at the top that reads, "CameraFirmware Standard." Again, other than the gray header and title, the rest of the screen is all black with no text or anything, except for the notification bar at the very top. Then, after sitting on that screen for a few seconds, it closes and the message, "Unfortunately, Factory Test has stopped," displays in a pop-up message.
I can make my assumptions about what that means, but I'd prefer your opinion. What do you think?
Thank you again for your time, insight, and assistance. I respectfully look forward to your response.
p.s. Just to clarify my experience for potential future readers, the second code you provided - *#7412365# - didn't work. It displayed, "Unable to process request" in a pop-up message.
That tells me that the system is most likely having problems communicating with the camera.
I'd open it up and make sure it's properly connected. It's very easy to do. You can find disassembly videos on YouTube if you want to see what to look for first.
If the shop couldn't get a new one to work, I'm honestly not sure what else you can try. It does sound like a hardware issue though. My best guess is its got something to do with the motherboard.

Anyone else having issue playing video from youtube or any internal video where a video would freeze while the audio continues to play? I did everyhing, where I installed Lollipop from Odin, restore to KitKat and update to lollipop through Kies and it's still. The same thing. Any idea? I also cleared the cache and wiped user data.
same trouble here...
When i try to see a streaming video after some seconds video freeze and audio go well... but if i use tubemate the video work like a charm.
only with browser and youtube.

Actually I'm also having issues with the local video player. The funny things is, it happens at around 1:10 mark for youtube and local video player. When I go back to 4.4.2, it would play fine without any issues.
I'm surprised that there's not much people are experiencing the same, or that you're the only one aside from me is experiencing the issue.
Is that really the case?
possible fix hope it works
how did u updated to lollipop by odin or by OTA by carrier? i updated by odin and had the exact issue while playing any video on any player or website the image would freeze and audio kept playing and other bug was that i had to re enter wifi password every single time i restarted phone. then i kept looking for possible solutions in the original post of the update and came accross that was cause of my baseband that didnt upgraded and kept my 4.4.2 baseband with the 5.0 firmware. the solution was to start from scratch and do a factory reset and wiped dalvik cache and cleared all from the TWRP recovery then instead of rebooting i turned phone off, removed battery for like 5-6 minutes and then booted directly to download mode to flash everything in the exact way its posted on the original post. also be carefull to follow the two red notes that says to under any circunstances dont let phone do the first boot every step u finish in odin once phone restart automatically boot it directly to the download mode and keep flashing in the exact order.
go check on settings if baseband is same to the build number/firmware... it worked for me hope it helps heres the link to the instructions and downloads

Has anyone tested the above? I'd hate to do another wipe, but if it'll fix the Wi-Fi issues and the video playback issues I'll do it. Just looking for some validity to the statement first.

yes it actually fixed the issue... in fact...the fix was in the original thread in the comments by the developer of the thread..i suggest a full backup in titanium back up for easy management of installed apps and and user settings/accounts. first of all check if your baseband is different one with the current build number... assuming you are in a tmobile note 3 with stock touchwiz lollipop... note how both build number and basebands shows N900TUVUFOB6 if u see them showing any different that's what causing your problem... the full wipe of cache dalvik and data from recovery and then removing battery for a few minutes without phone making the initial boot is the fix... good luck hope it helps

start by backing up all your apps/settings then enter boot recovery and wipe all cache and dalvik and do a full factory reset then once it finished remove battery for a few minutes and boot directly to download mode without doing the initial boot of the rom...(the one that takes a little while to boot the rom and takes u to phone setup as when u first unboxed your phone THIS IS CRUCIAL) Then flash the original 5.0 lollipop touchwiz with odin with the steps i provided few post up.... there's the link to the original thread as well were u can check the original troubleshoot by the developers of the thread... follow all the steps strictly as u see in the first post there and press thanks button to show respect to the developers

My problem for any custom ROM on my android running JB 4.2.2 is that, everytime I installed a custom ROM everything works fine but there is problem in video streaming (video playback
going too fast ) (audio works well). Only
streaming in ucbrowser works well .
There was no problem in the stock browser. Where should I fix in the custom ROM?
Thanks in advance.
My problem started some months ago, when a friend tried to root my phone, he told me that he rooted it but every app that checks for root told me that it wasn't rooted and i couldn't use apps that needed root also, the downside to all this is that i couldn't use apps that do not allow root, like the banking app, or Pokemon Go, but i used the phone like that for some months until last week when i decided to try and fix it. I thought that if i flash a stock firmware everything should be fine and the phone should be as new. On the phone, it says that the model is SM-N910F(behind the battery), in the settings it also said SM-N910F, so i tried flashing a rom for this model at first and it kept failing with me not knowing why. After trying different thing and googleing some time, i finally noticed that in "Fast Download", it says that the phone's model is SM-N910P, so i started searching about this, i didn;t understand why there were 2 different models on my phone, then i found out about searching my IMEI on imei.info, so i tried it and here it was SM-N910C, i had no idea what all this meant, but at this time i already got stuck into bootloop. Eventually, i found this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/help-sm-n910f-sm-n910p-bootloader-t3299285 and did what cam_bob22 said, it worked, i finally flashed the firmware on my phone and it worked, i could use the bank app, pokemon go, everything was fine except the fact that i couldn't select or change my mobile operator, when going to mobile networks, the mobile operators options was greyed out and couldn't be pressed(i want to mention that i did have service and that data worked but the internet would work only in roaming and i couldn't get 4G). So i tried updating the software from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 like it was said in the instructions and hopping that this update would fix the issue, but unfortunately for me after the update i somehow lost service completely, the signal sign was in the shape of a triangle with no bars, and the mobile operators setting was exactly as before.
So far i tried going back to 5.1.1 but besides the Hands Free activation that i can't make to go away, i still can't use the mobile operators setting and my data only works with roaming activated and doesn't get 4g. One thing that i forgot to mention is that the IMEI with the 5.1.1 firmware was of a samasung Galaxy S5 not a note 4, i checked it on imei.info.
I was wondering if there is any way for me to go back to the OS i had before my friend tried to root my phone, when it said in the settings that it was SM-N910F and everything worked as it should have.
Thank you for reading and i really hope someone can help me.
@robert11arad
There is no way to go back unless he made a backup. Which is why you should always do this before you flash anything.
I'm not sure if this will help but you could try flashing a international custom Rom after you have correct firmware. But if your phone is a Sprint version, you'll have to use a special data fix and kernel.
What firmware did you end up using to flash? Was it Sprint? If so, and you use gsm service, try flashing my Gsm stock Rom for Sprint phones. It's in post 2.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...t/05-15-17-debloated-deodexed-rooted-t3607029
You'll first need to be on current marshmallow firmware. So flash firmware with Odin first, then install Twrp with Odin. Then install Rom with Twrp.

No, the network operators is unlocked but there's still no service, when i try scanning for an operator it just stops with no message, and nothing happens.
I forgot to mention this, but before all this happened, I made a back-up of the phone with smart switch, is it possible to get back to how it was using that? And another thing is that when using the backup, it only restores music and photos, no contacts, no apps.(From what i've noticed so far)

Ok. About the best advice i can give is, because your on pure Sprint Rom, something is messing up with csc or something.
All i can suggest, is maybe try updating to QC1 with Odin and then try flashing my gsm Rom. Which is essentially just a tmobile rom.
And if that don't give you the function you you need. Then maybe try an international Rom.
It's hard to say what the last person did to the phone.

Also. You stated your phone first showed as a 910f. So maybe flashing a international F rom, will provide the correct csc settings for your phone to work. Only problem your gonna have, is because it's Sprint hardware, you'll have to pair the Rom with a kernel that'll work and some lib files for data.
I can help you by putting together some files to flash. But the main question would be, Do you want a stock note 4 Rom?
Also before any of this happened, do you know what firmware you were on? Marshmallow? Lollipop?

I would really appreciate if you helped me put the files together cause i have no idea how any of this works, i'm new. But i wanted to ask, is there any chance for thia to brick my phone?
When it had sm-n910f on it i couldn't update it after 5.1.1, when i pressed update it wouldn't do anything.
And yes, if possible i would like it to be a stock firmware, but if it is not possible i don't mind using something else as long as it works properly.
Thank you for all your help, i don't know what i would do otherwise.

Well, first, let me state,about bricking device. I have to state that it's not impossible to brick. But after hundreds of flashes never had problem. These devices are hard to brick. What hard bricks a device is messing with boot loader and partitions that shouldn't be messed with, like trying to unlock lte bands. But just flashing roms is fine unless you flash a Rom not for your phone and it over writes wrong partition.
All snap Dragon note 4s have the same layout so all you need is correct kernel, csc, and some ril lib files to get data working.
Now, mine main worry is that the phone is still unlocked,because I don't know what possible changes were made to it.
But with all that being said,I'll move on. With another post.

@robert11arad
Before we go too deep into this and upgrade and stuff. I'd like to just test a custom Rom on your phone and see what works.
So what firmware are you on right now?
5.01, 5.1.1, or 6.0.1?
I'm gonna take a guess and move on. You last stated you were on OG5 which it's 5.1.1. So if that's true, let's try the following.
First I'm gonna assume you already used Odin to flash that firmware. So now we need to flash Twrp. So download this on pc https://eu.dl.twrp.me/trlte/twrp-3.1.1-0-trlte.img.tar
1 . Put phone in download mode. Open Odin and plug in phone.
2. In Odin options make sure everything is unticked except Reset Flash Counter.
3. Now click on AP and select the Twrp file.
4. Flash it. Let it flash until it states it's completed. Once done. Unplug phone. Pull out battery. Put back in and boot to recovery by holding power+home+vol.up
5. Now you should have Twrp. Just reboot phone so we can continue to next post.

@robert11arad
Ok, here you go. If your where we left off, you should be on stock QC1 and have Twrp installed.
Just download this file, boot into recovery, and install. This file will delete dalvick/cache, so phone will take a few minutes to boot up.
I actually recommend before flashing, you do a factory reset in recovery then install.
Anyhow here you go. Let me know if it fixes what your looking for. If not, my only others option is to install a custom n910f Rom. I'll gladly walk you through if need be. But try this first.

Alright so i just tried it and when starting my phone, i can't even set it up because i keep getting a message that com.android.phone has stopped. After about half an hour of trying to start it, i finally managed to get to setting and to app manager, there i looked for com.android.phone and it was nowhere to be found. Apart from this i noticed a N with some signal bars where my phone signal should've been and i didn;t get the hands free activation anymore, but that's all...

Hi everyone,
I have an issue with my wife's OP3 that is driving me nuts.
Her phone runs stock OS without any changes but with an unlocked bootloader (just to be on the safe side i like to have an unlocked bootloader on all our devices).
I'm not sure if its related but I'm including it anyways she was playing a game on her phone and then she received a call and she answered it and tried to switch the call to speakerphone and the phone started rebooting right after booting the OS after 2-5 sec i would say "factory data reset" (see attached screenshot) and would reboot to the recovery.
then i would boot the phone again and the issue repeats itself.
so i used fastboot boot twrp.img to boot a recovery image and run a nadroid backup to a USB OTG just in case the phone is really hosed or whatnot.
I downloaded stock zip from oneplus's site and flashed it again from TWRP just to make sure its not some funky issue that happened to the os.
I even factory reset the phone from stock recovery and the issue would happen on the new phone setup wizard.
after a bunch of fiddling around I've flashed LineageOS 16 nightly and the phone boots normally and is fully usable but when i try to make or receive a call the phone app freezes and then crashes also sound doesn't seem to work when i try to play videos from youtube for example.
Any ideas what is the issue and how i can resolve it ?
thanks a bunch !!

Take a backup of your personal files and then wipe system, data, internal storage and both caches. Then flash OOS 5.0.8 and without adding any apps, check the calling function. If it still happens, then most likely a hardware issue.

Hmmm quite strange that you're having the same issue.
I didnt find a solution yet i gave her a temp replace phone that we had in a drawer somewhere.
Did your wife do anything out of the ordinary when it happened? are you having the same issue that LOS works but stock rom shows factory reset?

No, She did not do anything out of the ordinary. But weirdly I have exactly the same things happening. Lineage works but no sound. Everything else factory resets. I have tried quite a few ROM'swithout any luck. So far the only ROM which worked for some time(1day) was 6.0.1 . I have spent quite a long time on this flashing various ROM and dont know what to do now.

Update: @ireaper4592 might have a point here. I have gone one level up and I tried msm v3.0 tool, thus doing a complete reinstall including firmware. The factory resetting stopped but the sound was not working (I thought that it could be the ROM and the security patches). So I updated to the latest ROM available from Oneplus and evrything has been working since. I did this last night so not sure how long this is going to stay like that. I will give it some time and update later. Wife is using it now!
what you will need to do is download the oneplus 3 recovery tool and put the phone into qualcolm mode and restore the phone that way. here is a link https://www.androidexplained.com/oneplus-3-unbrick-return-stock/

its really good to know.
did you have to wipe the internal storage for this process to work ?
Do you have a guide that you've used to get this working?
Thanks in advanced.

That tool/procedure will reset your phone. So you will lose everything on the phone. Take a backup beforehand.
The link posted in the post above yours contains the guide as well as the tools. It also has links to the original guide here on XDA.

I cant believe it i was sure this was a hardware issue which ended up being a software one that the MSM tool fixed.
When I have a few minutes to spare i'll write a full post on how I ended up resolving it with step by step instructions and how I did it without any dataloss.
Thank you for all your help!

I was about to update here with good news but wife's phone went back to restart loop the next day. I am not sure but probably triggered by her installing whatsapp and facebook. I put the phone away because I have already spend quite a lot of time behind this. Is your's still going? Please list the step by step procedure. Thanks
