Think you mean "soft brick" locked my bootloader several times always got my phone running again. Ideally tho don't lock bootloader stupid move hahaha. Pain in the ass to fix ?
1. For that, you can sideload oos.
2. Which Rom are you on?
3. Go to TWRP, wipe, advanced-wipe, select internal storage, format it (use ext4, don't fall for f2fs myths). Note: you will loose data, please backup first.
4. Well, you can use titanium backup for easy Backup/Restore.

After reading for quite some time posts about trying new roms on my Arc S, I decided to go for it , but first I just wanted to make sure that i didn't miss anything.
1. root my phone with DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit
2. install ROM Manager app and install CWM from ROM Manager
3. make backup of my current rom with rom manager
4. unlock my bootloader
5. flash custom kernel using fastboot
6. boot into CWM recovery and install new rom from SD card
is this ok and if so, do i gain something by backing up my current rom before i unlock my bootloader?

yes by backing up your rom you can recover it if anything goes wrong with the new rom u've installed
OR
1: unlock bootloader
2: flash custom kernel
3: Enter recovery..backup ur present ROM and do a full wipe and install a custom ROM without any need to restart in between
4: Enjoy the new ROM

well that was my question in first place, do i gain anything by making backup BEFORE i unlock the bootloader. somehow your answer tells me i gain nothing
one more question, by doing it the way you said, i dont have to root the phone because...all custom kernels are pre-rooted?

you wont gain anything if u backup before or after u unlock the bootloader..it will be same..
All "custom ROMS" are prerooted..so u dont have to root it..
update: oh yea i forgot..u will lose everything after u unlock bootloader..thanks pvyparts for clearing that out
just a few thoughts that you should consider
First
The bootloader unlock clears ALL data! so if you want to return to your "pre EVERYTHING" you need to take a backup before you do that.
Second
"Rom Manager" does not work with our phones fully.
Third
hmmm i forget now

Hello,
I've tried everything that the internet has to offer so far and still can't get the newest version to install on my phone without failing somewhere in the installation process.
I feel like asking for help isn't of much use, because it could be everything.
I tried resetting the phone completely with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3405700
After that I wanted to install the update again, and still no success.
Next time you make a thread regarding an issue be kind enough to tell us the state of your phone to the best of your knowledge, whether its working or not? does it show the oneplus logo or not..... these things matter plenty!
judging from the what you have mentioned in your post, your main issues is not being able to install the latest update.
try these steps
1. download this file https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424945019 [thanks to namman bhalla for his thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/mirrors-official-oxygen-os-roms-ota-t3410870]
2. copy and paste it onto your phone.
3. now boot into your phones recovery twrp preferred
4. from there choose the option which says..... click install new zip. and select the zip that you downloaded....
it should work if it doesn't, give us a detailed description of what and all you have done with your phone whether you have unlocked the bootloader, whether there is a custom recovery installer and most importantly whether you have nandroid backup of your device.

I tried using that method and it failed, I can get into recovery just fine and my bootloader is unlocked because I flashed twrp
I have a backup I made in twrp.
I got the official support tool (MsMDownloadTool) and I could restore my phone to 3.1.2 but it still crashes apps and is very unstable.
If I now try to install the update again, or try to flash the full OxygenOS 3.2.1 or 3.1.2 I get the Error 7 ("system partition has unexpected contents").
I dont get this error because the system partition couldnt have been modified, because I didnt even start the phone , I just got into recovery and tried updating it.
I'm losing my mind on this.
Sorry if that was a ramble and isn't understandable
calm down!
boot into twrp, wipe system ,data, cache, dalvik. now try flashing the latest full rom i.e. 3.2.2.
try this and let me know....
if it didn't work give me step by breakdown of what you did.....

Hi Guys,
I installed TWRP in my Mi Max (32GB) (locked BL) yesterday by replacing stock recovery.img with twrp image and flashing that miui8 dev build through MiFlash in EDL mode. After that my total space was showing nearly 8GB.
To mention, I followed all steps properly like clearing dalvik and cache as well as formatting system, data, internal mem but the same happened.
Again I completely removed mods and installed stock, 24GB space was regained. But now when this time also I installed Resurrection Remix CM13 in the same way as no other way worked for locked BL and unlocking bug has really frustrated me, same thing happened.
Somebody please take up this issue and help me. I wonder how people who installed CM13 RR on locked BL are not facing this issue..
hi karanhv post ur question in q&a forum that way more people will be able to respond to u . anyways from what i gathered ur trying to install global developer build over the global stable that came with ur phone so that u could unlock ur device so that u could flash custom rom like cm or rr . good news is that u can do that without unlocking ur bootloader just follow this guide here from step 1-17 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/how-to/guide-install-global-miui8-root-t3435594 . just substitute the rom with cm or rr(personally tested by me on global dev rom.)
but things get a bit tricky if u want to stay on stock miui but want to have a custom recovery and root.skip steps 12,13,14,15. and go thru steps 16 & 17.now u will have stock miui with twrp recovery . now if u want to update the stock miui.go to updater app> click the 3 dot button on upper rt side> click on "download update" > the update will downloaded to "downloaded_rom" folder in ur internal storage.now boot to twrp recovery by switching of phone & switching it on again this time holding the vol+ button while it boots up.now after u boot into twrp recovery ,install the zip file that has been downloaded in the "downloaded rom" folder,immidiately after the install,flash supersu zip.now dont reboot yet, using TWRP's file manager navigate to system folder and delete file named "recovery from boot" and then reboot into system thus u will be updated on stock miui while still retaining root and twrp recovery. hope this clears up for u .if u follow all these steps u wont be faced with any memory loss
easy solution

I had the same problem with 64gb version.
In twrp go to wipe
Click option to delete data partition
It will tell you all data will be deleted and encryption disabled.
After data partition gets deleted twrp will report proper internal space, and ROM will also report proper internal space.
Be sure to backup everything before.
I unlocked the bootloader and then installed the twrp recovery... ( Normal recovery not treble)
When I booted in recovery. It asked for password {( I tried to enter my default password but it didn't worked)}
I even tried to reboot my phone but it got stuck on boot logo...
FIX---- 1) Skip the password step
2) Then wipe data.
3) Reboot to recovery and u r good to go.
Now u can install/wipe/ mount storage.....etc..
And installed ur custom ROM.
I've installed dot is 2.2 on redMI note 5 it's just awesome.?

The only problem for which i am concerned is the bootloop as i have watched many you tube videos but when i go in comment section there are lot of problems faced by people. Please give link to the tutorial you used to flash TWRP and rooted phone without problem.
Please
you can install "lazyflasher" after doing the root to start normally. I had the same problem and with this it was solved. I installed everything from the SD and my device is a Redmi 5 plus.

How is "lazyflasher", you can explain
the only solution is install another recovery such as redwolf for sure
Use red wolf recovery, it also supports incremental OTA update. Also built in magisk or supersu root. No need of lazy flasher.

Hi! Wiping the data will make me lose everything? Like apps, photos, music, etc?
There any way to install the twrp without losing everything?

Don´t confuse Wipe data with Format data.
Wiping data you will delete all the data from the apps. all the settings such as wifi, hotspot, brightness, location, language, keyboard preferences, etc and all the apps that you (the user) installed after to reboot to system.
Formatting data you will lost also all the folders and all the files in your internal memory such as music, pictures, etc., some of those folder needed for android to work will be created again while device is rebooting but your personal files will gone
You don´t need to lost everything just to install TWRP. Are you going to unlock bootloader or already did it?

But is good to know the difference! If i knew it before would spare some time! Thanks!
Hello. Just moved from iPhone to a OP3 and I am fairly new to the whole ROMing and rooting thing. My OP3 is currently in LineageOS 15.1 and I want to update to the Open Pie beta that OnePlus recently released..
What steps would I have to go through to do this? I have read that Bootloader needs to be locked back again but I do not know how to accomplish that. I have twrp as the recovery and rooted with magisk.
Any help will be very appreciated.
How to guide
INSTRUCTIONS - DOWNLOAD FILES
Go to https://eu.dl.twrp.me/oneplus3 and download TWRP recovery (.img file).
Go to https://www.oneplus.com/global/support/softwareupgrade > select your phone (OP3/OP3T).
2.1 Download stock 8.1 firmware (.zip file).
2.2 Download stock recovery (.img file).
Go to https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3-oneplus-3ts-oxygenos-beta-android-9-pie/ and download your stock 9 firmware (.zip file). I see you mentioned this download link instead - well, if it's zip file, it's OK!
INSTRUCTIONS - PROCEDURE
Go to bootloader (AKA download mode) and flash TWRP recovery: fastboot flash recovery twrp_recovery.img
Go to your flashed TWRP recovery > Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Select everything ("USB OTG" might throw error - ignore) > Swipe to wipe. Screenshot on the web.
Copy stock 8.1 firmware to your phone (while in the same TWRP recovery) to /sdcard/ directory and flash it.
Go to bootloader and flash stock recovery: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
While in bootloader, lock bootloader: fastboot oem lock. On the phone using volume buttons select "Yes" to lock bootloader. Your phone should show you some sort of wiping procedure on the screen and reboot to Oxygen OS with Android 8.1.
Move/Copy your stock 9 firmware to your phone internal storage (simply, while in Android), go to Settings > System updates > Click on top-right gear icon > Local upgrade > Select your stock 9 firmware zip file.
Once update is applied and phone rebooted, I STRONGLY suggest going into stock recovery and performing full factory reset ("wipe EVERYTHING").
QA
Q: Why Do I need to flash 8.1 if I can flash 9.0 in the first place?
A: Well, you can, but I tested it and only possible way to lock bootloader while being on stock 8.1 oxygenOS and recovery. If you flash stock recovery and oxygenos 9 - nothing happens when you lock bootloader.
Q: Any easier (or other) way?
A: Restoring to older version (don't remember if android 6 or 7 or 8) by following this guide. Then just simply apply upgrade via local upgrade. Not sure if bootloader will be locked afterwards. This also useful if you messed with partition sizes/partitions on your phone. Example.
SIDE NOTES
Battery life seem to be worse compared to SkyDragonOS. Not talking about missing customization options, but it's fine to me.
Google camera ports are still better option than stock camera on OxygenOS 9.

Just a word of caution. Wiping everything will wipe all your photos, videos etc. So backup everything beforehand.
I don't know where you read about bootloader having to be locked. For your information, I am running that ROM with bootloader unlocked. It is your call.

Read it somewhere on reddit. But you're the third person to tell me it doesnt have to be unlcked, so I will go ahead and skip that.
I do have to install OOS 8.1 first tho right? or can I just flash the open beta update on TWRP after I do a factory reset?

I don't know. I happened to be on OOS 5.0.8 with bootloader unlocked when I flashed the Closed Beta Pie. When the Open Beta became available, I flashed it. On both occasions, I wiped all and my bootloader remains unlocked. In fact, I make it a point to remain unlocked always so that I don't face issues while flashing.
