How to roll back to official build after flashing community build? - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

From what I've read it seems that you have to unlock bootloader to do this. Which is something I am finding hard to digest.
Do I really need to unlock bootloader to flash official build? Or is there some official way which I can't seem to find?

Didn't find a way without data wipe.. but my bootloader is locked and never rooted on this OP3, as long as your OP3 is encrypted I don't think there is a way without loosing data.

I have completely wiped the system using stock recovery and now I can't flash anything. When I try to sideload it says can't read the zip file.
I've tried with both community and official zip.
Any idea what's going on?

Seems like adb drivers issue (on Windows?) many are facing. What worked for me is to cut/paste zip to desktop and then immediately cut/paste back to adb folder (without closing command prompt) and typing adb sideload zip again..
See if it helps..

[Q] Need to go back to Stock Rom without USB

hi,
my USB port on my phone is broken and I need to go back to stock ROM for warrenty. Currently I use the Paranoid ROM 4.2.2 JDQ39 (3.67) and TWPR recovery. I read a lot of posts but I didn´t find a complete guide. So I want to ask if I can do it this way?
1. Close Bootloader with "BootUnlocker for Nexus Devices" app from the playstore
2. Download Factory Image 4.2.2 from the google developers page
Extract everything. I need the files: System.IMG, Boot.IMG, Userdata.IMG, Recovery.IMG ? Or do I need other files?
3. Install Mobile Odin Pro on my phone
4. Load the IMG files in Mobile Odin Pro and start
Is this right? What is with the radio? I have XXLJ1 on my phone. I think it is the latest. Isn´t it?
It would be nice if someone can help me.
thanks

You'll have to close the bootloader last otherwise you won't be able to flash the imgs.
I don't know if you'll can, you'll have to keep root when you reset it because you'll have to lock the bootloader last, then you could factory reset.
Not sure though.

I thought I don't need a open bootloader for Odin Mobile?
I just did this with the same problem about a month ago, and I relocked the bootloader first because you won't have root or a way to use fastboot to lock it afterward. Odin worked just fine with bootloader locked.

i sent my gnex in for the same broken usb port issue, and all i did to the bad one was do a factory reset on cm10.whatever it was at the time, and locked the bootloader with that app, probably did that first i guess lol.
but they havent charged me for that, so i assume its all good, its been a few months so if they were going to charge me they would have i assume

But I´m not sure if it works for me too, so I would like to try to go back to stock ROM. The problem is that I don´t know if it works with this guide and I don´t want to make a mistake.
can anyone tell me if it is possible to use the 4.2.2 factory image from the google developers site or do I have to use a special odin file?
If I have to use a odin file where can I find it? I only found old files with android 4.0.1
thanks in advance for any help.
Can anybody help me with my problem? I try to go back to stock to send it in.
Thanks

This may or may not be relevant but I used to have a T989 (TMO GSII) and the USB port when bad as well. Any connection that I attempted would last brief moments and in one of those, I took the chance and tried restoring. What ended up happening is the update did not complete and the phone remained in the ODIN screen even after reboots. I sent it in like so and they still honored the warranty. So what I'm trying to say, as a last resort you could intentionally brick your GN...
I have heard however, that warranty companies don't always check to see if you've messed with the software so there's another thought.
Just send it back as is. Your problem is hardware related, not software. They'll refurb the phone and re-image it anyway.
Thanks for your answers!
OK I understand. But is it that dangerous to go back to stock without USB, so I shouldn't do it or is it only that you think it is not necessary?

Why dont you download this on your phone directly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882248 and then flash it using Mobile Odin or Recovery. Dont flash SuperUser. Factory reset and then lock the bootloader.
Wouldnt that work?

I think I could flash this with TWRP, if it´s no problem that I come from Paranoid 4.2.2 ? But it is not really stock. Is it? What happen than when I do the factory reset? Does it erase TWRP? And I think I need root to lock the bootloader...

So lets try this again, OK?
1. Download the stock rom from the link and copy to your phone
2. Boot into TWRP
3. Wipe data
4. Flash the stock 4.3 rom you downloaded
5. Reboot.
Now, you have stock 4.3 but you are still rooted. A factory reset from the OS doesnt unroot you or takes away your root.
6. Download this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.segv11.bootunlocker&hl=en and lock yout bootloader. This will do a wipe again.Now reboot.
7. Remove /system/bin/su via adb shell or by using root explorer
8. Remove /system/app/Superuser.apk via adb shell on phone or by using root explorer
9. Factory reset.
Done. By now, you should be stock, unrooted and without any custom recoveries.

I have one more question. In step 3 should I do a factory reset before I flash the rom? Because I usually do one when I install a new rom and I don't want to do a mistake because I can't use usb to fix it. And is it OK that I go from 4.2.2 Paranoid to this 4.3 stock rom?

Before you flash the new ROM; you must wipe data.
And yes, its OK to come from 4.2.2 to 4.3 as long as you wipe data.

Twrp won't have the decryption keys or some of the HTC specific functions required to apply the OTA. You'll need a stock /system and a stock recovery.

Would this explain the error that I'm getting?
Package expects build fingerprint of htc/tmous/htc_m8:4.4.4/KTU84P/396641.2:user/release-keys or htc/tmous/htc_m8:5.0.1/htc_m8: 5.0.1/LRX22C/464190.4:user/release-keys.; this device has htc/tmous/htc_m8:4.4.3/KTU84L/365360.5/user/release-keys.
I flashed stock recovery, but my phone is still root. Did a full wipe/restore, still getting same thing. The error looks like it's not happy about a missing update perhaps, if I'm reading that correctly. Best I know, I have the latest kitkat version. But, I've had twrp for awhile so maybe I missed an OTA update along the way.

If you're SOFF and supercid just flash the lollipop ruu T-Mobile just release. It doesn't matter what previous rom you're on. Then reflash custom recovery and rooted. I've done this alot of time already.

So the steps would be:
- Flash stock recovery via fastboot
- Flash firmware via fastboot
- Flash twrp via fastboot
- Flash Lollipop via twpr
Is this correct?

For me (I am s-on) I did it in this order:
- flashed twrp stock rom
- rebooted and made sure the rom worked
- flashed stock recovery via fastboot
- rebooted and downloaded and installed OTA.
If you are s-off I believe (someone correct me if I am wrong) you can use the RUU instead.
I did have a wifi issue which was solved by a factory wipe ( yes I had to re-install and setup the phone again).

Bootloop after flashing stock image

Hi guys, my nexus 5x is locked bootloader and i was running the last Android 7.1.1 stock. I decided to try the last CM14.1, entered TWRP and made a backup. I installed CM14.1 and gapps and my phone was in a bootloop. I decided then to restore my backup, restoration was successful but when i pressed reboot system, I was in a bootloop, at Google dots logo. I flashed successfully the DP 7.1.1 image but couldn't get out the bootloop. Flashed the last stock 7.0 image with the same result. I can access fastboot and recovery but until now couldnt get my phone to start and get out this bootloop. What can I do? Is it a hardware issue as i read somewhere on XDA?
Any help and advices please, I live in a country with no Google service center and I am desperate.
If flashing full stock (all not only system) and full wiping doesn't solve your issue sounds like the infamous hardware problem.
Make sure you didn't restore efs backup taken with twrp 3.0.2.1 otherwise look for efs fix.

You can't.
If you have a locked bootloader all you can do is to flash a full ota package from stock recovery and to wipe/factory reset if it let you to.
If it doesn't fix your issue unfortunately you have to RMA the phone.

when you restored from your backup, was EFS checked when you restored? if it was then you have an EFS file corruption. I personally wrote up a solution to this, here's a link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/efs-file-corruption-fix-t3502473
make sure you follow the instructions, this has to be done with the Nexus root toolkit command window open with your phone in TWRP recovery and hooked up to your computer. if you try this, let me know how it goes and if you need help.
edit: your bootloader is unlocked which I know for sure, you can still boot into bootloader and re-root and install twrp back onto your phone even though you're boot looping. I know because the same thing happened to me and was still able to flash a custom recovery.
Yeah it is the EFS problem related to buggy versions of TWRP. Just use dd to to clear the EFS partitions - the chipset will luckily autogenerate the EFS contents on first boot.
Next time dont restore EFS partition from your backups and everything will be perfectly okay.
Makes me wonder how many hundreds of people have sent the device to RMA because of this issue.

This command is to unlock the bootloader right? But I guess if the OEM unlock is not selected in developer options within Android, it won't work, or correct me if I am wrong.

You can try. I heard somewhere that it may work if you apply it before booting the android the first time (technically your android cant boot at the moment).

Flash TWRP on RUU'ed Stock ROM without PC?

Hey,
Quick question, I'm away on holiday and had to use an RUU to reset my phone completely back to stock. I don't have my PC with me but was wondering if there might be any other way to get TRWP installed so I can get back to custom ROM's before the end of my trip?

I've described how to do this for CM-based ROMS with Samsung devices. Unfortunately, I know of no way to do this for the HTC 10. The issue is getting it rooted. My understanding is that the Sunshine app can root some 10s, but not all. You could try that. When you run the app it will do a series of tests on your device. If it cannot be rooted by the app it will give the message, "Root is required first." Otherwise, the app can root your device and proceed from there. Once rooted you could then use Flashify to install TWRP.

Thanks guys!!
I'm trying to figure out, if I want to flash just the recovery with the no wipe zip, can I delete all the other .img files within the zip or do I have to edit the Android-info.txt for the corresponding lines?
No issue in flashing the no wipe file as it is, just curious for future reference if I wanted to create easy 2PS6IMG.zip's in the future.

I simply take the firmware.zip from OTA, delete all .img files, rename twrp.IMG to recovery.IMG and repack it to 2PS6IMG.zip
You don't need to change the android-info.txt as partitions without images won't get wiped, even if it says so.
You can flash Boot, Recovery and..... And.... Which was the third one? Without S-Off or signed firmware package.

NO OS installed

My oneplus 3 has no OS installed. I am unable to install the stock os because my it states that my devices is "" and the one I am trying to install is for oneplus 3. PLEASE HELP.
Do you have unlocked bootloader?
Do you have custom recovery?
Can you boot the device to fastboot or recovery?
Did you try using flashing tools to flash a ROM?
Do you have root permission, adb or you have OEM unlock enabled?
Lastly, Is your phone in bootloop or is soft/hard bricked?
To ask for help you need to provide necessary information first.

My phone is soft bricked. My bootloader is unlocked and there is a custom recovery which is blu spark. Also I do have root permission. Seems like my os is completely wiped, so my phone is stated as " " . When I try to install through recovery, it states that the zip file is for oneplus 3 and that my device is " ".
Have you tried solving your softbrick?
Try this:
Back up your data.
Flash the original TWRP.
Flash your desired ROM.
Make sure that the ROM you're trying to flash is meant for your device.
Don't forget the necessary drivers, fastboot tools, and cleaning dalvik cache once you're done.
Also flashing a ROM means losing root access, you may want to flash magisk again.
