I was trying to clean install Oxygen OS 4.0 onto my OnePlus 3. I did a huge mistake of formatting my entire data off of my OnePlus 3 using Wipe > Format Data > Yes in TWRP and now I cannot use my phone.
I don't know how to install the OS on the phone again and I am stuck. I don't even have a spare phone right now.
Can someone please help me? I tried checking the other forums, but they were confusing and I didn't understand anything. Please help me.
I tried downloading the software from OnePlus's website, but I couldn't install it through ADB cause the file is for some odd reason corrupt.
Please, somebody help me. I can't even send it back to OnePlus cause I am in a different country ATM.
I had trouble with OB10 and adb. Said it couldn't read the file. I instead flashed TWRP and enabled mtp from there. I then pushed the full ROM to internal storage. Fastboot flashed the stock recovery and used 'upgrade from internal'. That flashed it fine. Then I reinstalled TWRP and SuperSU.

Have you downloaded the full ROM? Make sure you download the full rom from oneplus's website or any of the mirrors available on various forums on xda. Flash it normally like you flash a custom rom. It will work as I have done it a lot of times. Your file must have been corrupt.

Go to: h*t*t*p*://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3/oneplus_3_oxygenos_3.2.8/ (REMOVE STARS) download both stock recovery and rom of OOS v3.2.8 (located at the bottom of the page). Flash stock recovery via fastboot (I hope you know how to). After it was flashed, disconnect the cable, turn off the device in fastboot (power off). Then hold power and volume down keys down to boot into recovery. From there ADB sideload the stock OOS v3.2.8. Let it boot up and update to OOS 4.0 via OTA.
P.s. If you need the actual steps, let me know. I'll update it in this post.

I had an issue with custom twrp + Freedom OS v2.0 (OOS v4.0). No xposed, a lot of battery issues with performance and toggling settings issues too. So I decided to stick with Freedom OS 1.7 (OOS v3.2.8) until OnePlus fixes the issues, with xposed available for Nougat and official twrp being released to support Nougat. Also, whenever I flashed custom twrp, which was recommended by the dev, it always asked me for a password. I did have PIN code with fingerprint option, a pattern option or none at all. All of which did not help bypass it, even using "default_password". I was stuck with OOS v4.0, somehow, with no twrp to work with as it locked my data. I backed my files before flashing from OOS v3.2.8 to OOS v4.0, lucky me. I managed to do what I have explained in the first response.
Hello All,
does anyone have a twrp for the stock android 7.0 update ive been looking but unable to find. Also i believe there is a change in how its applied now if anyone with any info of regards to this could help cheers.
thx
xdavez
I don't have real infos on that, but I used TWRP 3.0.2.0 for a month or two on stock 7.0 without issues (it was the same TWRP I had installed for months). Recently I used the one in the lineage thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-premium/development/lineageos-14-1-z5p-e6853-t3576995 ) which is 3.1.0.0 and it's also working fine.
Installed via fastboot flash recovery.
cheers i will give it ago with the stock version . i did find one but it seems to have issue recovering the old data after i tried to use the always on 4k kernel tho i do believe the way i put it on was incorrect so it my own fought. but i still expected the recovery to overwrite it.
[HELP][G3][VS985]issue connecting to PC on fastboot, need to reflash TWRP & SuperSU
Hello, thank you for this great forum with helpful members, I'm having an issue with an LG G3 VS985, fastboot won't recognize it while in bootloader, I need to reflash TWRP.
First of all, thank you for reading this long testament [most important details in bold if TL;TR], wanted to be as detailed as possible, maybe it will help you help me better hehe sorry about that.
Let me give you the event sequence if it helps.
> Phone had Cloudy G3 2.5 rooted with SuperSU and TWRP 2.8.6.0 since I rooted it back in 2016.
I was having some issues with phone not recognizing micro sd card and OTG-USB after messing around with encrypting it, I was curious but didn't need it, anyways. Although I dropped the phone in water a couple weeks prior so there is a chance the issue is hardware related.
That was like 4-5 months ago.
Finally decided to do a file backup and reinstall everything yesterday apr-5-2019.
> Rebooted into TWRP and erased everything (data, cache, dalvik, system, even internal storage) because I wanted a new install on everything.
> Flashed the latest official TWRP version for my device (3.0.2.0)
> Had a lot of issues flashing crDroid, found out I downloaded the wrong build, although I had to edit updater-script on the right one to make it work.
> Flashed crDroid 5.2_20190326 with open GApps for Android 9.0 Stock
> First issue encountered, I couldn't charge the phone turned off, because the battery logo appears but but doesn't do the animation and reboots the phone, I read it might be an issue with TWRP.
> Tried to flash SuperSU 2.82 SR5 with TWRP but had a LG secure boot error and couldn't boot up android.
> RE-flashing android and open GApps fixed this issue.
> Re-attempted the process several times, even wiping everything down more than a couple times, including re-flashing android several times to no avail, I was not able to flash SuperSU successfully.
I even flashed an old tool "MR.Bump" but system kept unrooted so unsuccessful.
> Reflashed Android for the last time and start reading again (after 8 hours attempting to do it well), I read that TWRP version might be the problem to flash SuperSU, so
HERE is where I have the current issue:
> Downloaded the official TWRP version 3.1.0 and flashed it.
There is no official support for 3.1.0 for the VS985 so I'm guessing it was a generic .img, of course I messed up TWRP.
> Downloaded and installed official LGMobile Drivers 4.2.0 (latest), downloaded android drivers (15 second ADB installer 1.4.3) and Android platform tools 28.0.2 on windows.
> When conected in PTP and transfer files in win7 it recognizes all the drivers well, was able to reboot the phone into bootloader from android platform tools successfully, means there is good communication between the device and PC.
The issue is once the phone is in the bootloader and trying to flash TWRP, win7 has issues installing CDC serial drivers, in the end in device manager all drivers seems installed but win notification center says there was a problem installing LGE AndroidNet for VZW USB Modem, seems to be issues with CDC Serial or something, when trying to access the properties on the VZW USB Modem it freezes so there's an issue here.
That means when doing adb devices or fastboot devices command, doesn't find anything.
Tried the same in win10, had different driver problems but in the end everything gets installed after rebooting. Same issue, no response from phone when in bootloader.
Message is "Waiting for any device".
Maybe there is an issue with some low-level driver/kernel/firmware that is creating this issue, I would even consider to flash stock LG Android to start from scratch, if you have any guide on how to do it please provide the links!
Additional note: When connecting the phone in USB Tethering win7 gives bluescreen.
> FORTUNATELY I messed TWRP but the phone can still boot android so it's not rendered unusable (yet lol).
I must admit I wasn't super careful downloading some stuff, I did it old school (trial and error) and most of the times it works, I consider myself being a little tech savvy, but right now I'm stuck, I guess I could continue using the phone like this but if I have any issues it would be difficult to resolve and I would lose functionality without root (I could live unrooted though but I wanna resolve this) and honestly I love the G3 so why change it? haha.
BTW I found these on the net, do you recommend it? what TWRP do you recommend for the VS985?
I downloaded and wanted to install this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/recovery-unofficial-multirom-twrp-artx-t3657524
and found this one supposedly 3.2.1 for the vs985 here: https://basketbuild.com/devs/yshalsager/TwrpBuilder/lge/vs985
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
I posted it on a different area and got no response, so here it is the G3 area.
@disrupted_mind, wow, that was a great detailed post. Alas, can't think of anything much to suggest at the moment. Just a few things come to mind.
Make sure to use a USB 2.0 port on the computer. I've heard of issues with USB 3.0.
Use a good cable but I assume yours is good or original.
There's another TWRP from @HardStyl3r, v3.2.3. Since he's one of our last ROM devs I'm sure it might be the one to use, especially if you're trying Pie.

Thank you for replying, now that you mention it, all the ports on the PC's I've tried are USB 3.0, I think I have an older lappy with USB 2.0 and I will try that next. If that doesn't work I was planning on rooting the phone temporarily with kingroot or kingoroot, so I can use flashify and re-flash TWRP (just thought about it last night hehe) and then re-flash the ROM since according to this thread, kingroot and kingoroot might be malware.

Thanks, yes, precisely yesterday I kept reading trying to find a solution and bumped into @HardStyl3r's version, already downloaded it
I like Pie very much by the way, but I think it drains the battery a little faster than CloudyG3 (android 5), maybe the old hardware struggles too much haha, but I will keep using it for some time. By the way, do you think AppOps is still necessary with Android integration to allow/deny permissions (sorry, noobie question since I'm just transitioning from old to newer android with that feature).
Any ideas on the charging the phone off issue?
I will update the thread with any news
Cheers.
I have good news and bad news.
I was able to reflash stock KitKat using TOT method, only way it could work since I had no connection to PC with fastboot commands on cmd.
Updated android over the air and PC, it update to 5.0.1 over the air and wanted to go faster so tried to do it from PC, what a mistake, when I was downloading Marshmallow info on xda I found that it might be difficult to root android 6, so cancelled the operation from LG Update Software on PC. That went "fine", didn't update to Marshmallow.
Rooted the phone using the One-Click root method, worked fine apparently. Installed flashify and flashed the Unofficial 3.2.3 TWRP, that didn't go well, I dont have access to Recovery mode nor Bootloader/Download mode now. "Recovery" ("vol-" + "Power Button") mode gives "certificate/secure boot error", Regular "Bootloader/Download mode" is non-existant or I can't access it in any given way, tried "vol+" while off + "Power Button", tried to reboot to it from Rashr, nope, it just continues to boot android, the other "Download mode ("Vol+" + "Connect USB cable to PC")" (don't know if it's the same as Bootloader) gives "certificate/secure boot error". I even flashed the latest official TWRP for vs985 and 2.8.6 that I knew definately worked before, didn't work.
I was able to boot into fastboot following "this" thread but it doesn't perform commands.
When booting to Android I kept receiving notification that I had a pending update, I managed to wipe /data and /dalvik from adb shell, that resolved that issue.
Attempted to reflash stock KitKat again, but I can't, since phone doesn't have bootloader or recovery no more.
At least I still have working rooted 5.0.1 Lollipop, but have the other issues. I want to attempt to re-flash aboot.img, laf.img and sbl1.img to fix those issues but since its my main phone don't want to hard brick it right now.
Any input is welcome and appreciated, will keep reading a lot, think I might open a different thread for this.
Cheers.
Hey guys,
I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. I can't get any treble rom to work. I have four scenarios:
1. Rom don't get over Sony logo.
2. Rom don't get over bootlogo of the rom.
3. Rom boots (Descendant, Havoc), but I have no Wifi (Mac 02:00:00...)
4. Only roms by MartinX work, but fingerprint sensor is really Bad.
What can I do? What is the correct sequence of flashing the different images? Why and when do I need them?
Hope someone can help. I am on firmware 52.0.A.11.32
I was able to use GSI rom's by following the guide here in first post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz2/how-to/gsi-roms-installation-guide-t3914603
I attached a pic (last one is RR) with the rom's i booted successfully. But it was some time ago, when i did that, so i can't say something about the current GSI's.
Thank you for your answer!
Btw I tried a few hours yesterday but I did not had any success.
Like i said, i have not tried current GSI's.
Maybe they have to be permissive to boot...?
Hi @JimmyTheFirst, did you manage to boot any GSI/Treble system on XZ2C? I try to flash RR but I get the same problems as you.
I managed to boot Havoc 2.6. All above don't work for me. Descendant and Pixel Experience also works, but nö ViperOs Or RR.
In this moment I'm waiting for a new update of Pixel Experience, but I think it could take some weeks.
This info is for people who are finding it difficult to install a custom ROM or who are just waiting for the right time to experiment. This method is fail-safe. Any support needed, I am here to help .
To start with:
I unlocked my RM5P bootloader was able to install custom recovery and even root my phone, but I was not able to install a custom ROM ----- till yesterday night (I am on EVO X now).
Failed attempts:
I was able to downgrade to RMX1971EX_11_OTA_0170 with stock recovery but after loading the ROM, I cannot load into FASTBOOT.. Again to get into fastboot, I needed to upgrade to CO1 (Android 10).
Then from fastboot mode, I tried installing ROM (very old version) thus maintaining the TWRP and Fastboot.
I tried to install custom ROM, it gave me error 7. This error is because the Firmware was too old for the custom ROM to be installed.
Success:
I then installed color os V 170 from TWRP (it can decrypt OZIP files-it will covert that to zip and install). Used just common sense, as all custom ROMs at present need color os (specifically version ...170), so after installing ROM using TWRP and staying in the recovery (because if I load ROM now, I will lose FB and TWRP), I Dirty Flashed (just to be on the safe side) custom ROM (EVO X) , and then format data (might still give you error, there is a workaround) and restart. That's it.
I am in Evolution X latest build.
ADVICE:
Whatever experiments you want to do on your mobile, do it while you are in WARRANTY (after confirming you have your service center nearby and working). If your phone ends up bricked (like me-before) get it fixed free of cost. BECOME A PRO WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD.
Oh well that's extremely nice of you and useful. You're helping the community of this device a great deal with your informational and technical guides. I can safely thank you in the name of all users.
Though I'm feeling kind of sorry and bad for you. You really weren't able to use custom ROMs till 14th of May? Geez... That must've been horrible. I'm a fan of pure and stock like, simple, well modable/shapeable Android since I was a kid and got my Samsung Galaxy phone with Android 2.1 back in 2009. Since then I can't stand any limitation brought by Android skins like Miui or Color OS. I was on GSI ROM on the third day of having my Realme Q back in October of 2019. Not like warranty did count anything since there's no Realme in Hungary and it was an import device from AliExpress. So many testing and experience, lots of adventure. Can't even imagine what would I have done if I couldn't get rid of COS till now. Even the thought is maddening to me ? You've got my respect.

I appreciate your time and message.
I have only dared once in my lifetime to experiment on a tablet i bought online on the first day, that time i restored it with another rom, and even replaced that gadget after 2 days for another one because it didn't have multi touch, many years ago.
With realme, i was kind of scared to experiment till some months back and i even had to visit service centre thrice to restore. Now i have learned a bit on how we can BRICK our phone.
One important thing i learned is, STOCK rom is the best, and i am back on it.
Thank you.

Avoid installing custom roms using duty flash, i mean the second custom rom should be done as clean install. I said that specifically because, i tried three roms in a span of 1 hour, the third duty flash (derpfest rom) gave me indefinite boot. Had to go to service centre because phone was not bootng to twrp.
I went back to custom rom, Android 10 to get BL back. Anyways, i was not that satisfied with the present custom roms available.
But that's me, you can go ahead and try roms.

I suggest you check this with another derpfest user, please. I never got to boot to derpfest.
I downloaded Evolution X 4.7 Rom zip file and followed the instructions given in thread to flash zip file. But after flashing when I tried to reboot in system, it gave me a message on swipe screen that OS is not installed but still I swiped to boot in system. My device tried to boot a couple of time and ended up in fastboot again. Fortunately I had already made backup so I restored my backup.
As per your post I should have flashed color os 6 ozip file with twrp before flashing evox rom.
Every thing ok.i think you are not flash Vebeta after flash recovery.
