[Urgent] Locked out of phone because of some kind of catch 22 - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

I was running a version of RR, earlier, camera did however not work so I thought that I should switch, the problem is that android determined to change my screen lock to something that I don't know of, I can use adb still to get around but there I get another error that says: "This package is for "OnePlus3"; this is a "oneplus3"

well for the error "this package is for..." you open your rom.zip file and go to META-INF--> com--> google-->android and open updater-script with a text editor and in the first line " then getprop..." change it from OnePlus3 to oneplus3

"Error accessing image files"..?

Hi all!
When I try to read an extended ROM image with the softworkz ER2003Edit tool, I get an error-box saying "Error accessing image files", no matter which ROM I try to load (have tried several operators/countries). What am I doing wrong?
Thx.
/Joe72
I've got the same problem.
anyone any idea pls????
thnx
i had the same problem, i kept on messing with the application and eventually was through.
Reason :
when you open er2003edit and click on file and then open rom image a window pops up, over most of us tend to go directly to the file which we want to open, BUT in actual you are suppose to change the FILES OF TYPE in that window at the bottom and select "WM2003 EXTENDED ROM (ms_.nbf)" and then open the file.
this will solve the issue FOR SURE

@anaheiim have you tried this recently? I tried to grab some firmware for the Lumia 521 for TMO and it wouldn't let me download the firmware. It keeps saying "Access is denied. Verify credentials." when you click the download button.
Looking at the exchange through Fiddler, I got the direct link for the ffu and was able to download it no problem via my web browser. I am hoping this is just a temporary server issue, but anecdotal posts indicate it's been broken for at least a couple of weeks.
You have installed "UserGroupsConfiguration"?

yes. I tried the one in in the OP as well as a few others. Everything works until you actually hit the download button. When you do, it says it was added to queue then pops up an "access is denied" error. (Then the program crashes due to poor error handling.) It looks like they deprecated the soap calls GetVariant3, GetVariant4, GetVariant, GetVariant5, and GetVariant2. Analyzing the actual packet it claims the server returned is a 500 - Internal Server error. The call at the beginning of the exchange for "GetVariantAll" works fine and returns all the URLs needed for download, so I am not sure why the additional calls are necessary.
For me, it works.
Try with this UserGroupsConfiguration.
@anaheiim. Same problem with that file. "access is denied". Also, I tried the DataPackageManager application. That returns "error while retrieving a list of variant packages" whenever I click "search".

Ok. Your tutorial works. One thing I missed:
1. Data Package Manager requires product type AND product code. I read it quickly and thought it was OR.
TL;DR: User error. I didn't follow the tutorial. Follow the tutorial!
Long Explanation:
I was trying to use the tools the way I had a couple of months ago (based on other tutorials all over the Internet) ....which didn't require downloading anything via "Data Package Manager". The "old" steps are as follows:
1. Launch "Product Support Tool For Store"
2. When asked to log in, select "CareSuite External" and press "Sign In"
3. Go to the "Tools" menu and select "Firmware Download"
4. Enter the product code for the required firmware and click "Check Online"
5. Check the box "optional Content Files" (I tried it both ways).
6. press "Download".
After I'd press download, a message would come up saying "access is denied" (see attached screenshot)

So the download works with data package manager?
Did you also try to flash the rom with product support?

Download works with Data Package Manager. I did not try to flash the ROM as I don't own a Lumia. I imagine it will work just fine though.

Ok so lost here.
You state you tried to do this for a Lumia 521 on TM but then you state you don't have a Lumia?
So did you a few days ago get this to work with a 521 Lumia or not?

All I wanted was the FFU file so I could decompile it. I do not own a Lumia. When I tried to download the FFU file the way I usually do, it didn't work. (See earlier post). Using the additional tool provided in this tutorial (Data Package Manager 4.2), I was able to download the FFU file to my PC.
Hope that clarifies things!

[Q] Where is the ROM being downloaded to my phone?

I just downloaded to my XT1575 and I don't know which directory it downloaded to? Any ideas?

Thank You.
There is no folder /app_updates. There is just a folder named "files", but this folder is completely empty.
By the way: I got this file structure on my G4: \Android\data\org.lineageos.updater\files.
I had to manually download the package and install it manually in recovery, but the updater says still to update the current version.

The updater does not recognize what version is installed, just if the update is in the folder.

If this is reduced to this single folder I can say that my G4 has no folder with this name.
The download completed and the updater asks for updating the unit.
The G4 restarts into recovery mode and nothing happens. Manual search for the downloaded files have not been successful.
I restarted my G4 and searched manually with root rights (just to be sure the files are not hidden in non root search) and I could not find any update file.
The lineage updater still shows to update the phone, even that there whether is a folder named "/data/org.lineageos.updater/app_updates"
nor a file in the "\data\org.lineageos.updater\files.
So... is this an issue with the updater, ROM or is this just not implemented complete?
I have no issues to manually install anything by console or TWRP or what ever else.
Once again: The update file(s) seem to be lost in transit. They are not stored on the system.
The updater still shows the install button even if there is nothing to install.

Are you sure you are looking in the right folder? Your stated path shows :
"\data\org.lineageos.updater"
Was that just a typo?
This where it is in my device:
"/data/data/org.lineageos.updater/app_updates" (note the nested "data" in "data")
Also, I think that if it shows "install" it means that it has been downloaded (and exist), otherwise it would show "download".

Shame on me... I searched with root rights and could not find the folder.... Seems I need new glasses.
But the folder is there and yes, the download is in there.
So single issue is, why the updater does not call the update automatically for flashing the update.

Hmmm... TWRP should be able to handle the script created by the updater. You may want to check on the G4 forum to see if others have the same issue.

the guys in the G4 forum are mostly connected to the unofficial version. a complete manual installation is required.
But there are some rumors in the German forum, who are using the official LineAgeOS version, where the updater script is not working.
I´ll wait for the next update in a week... may be it´s just a minor issue which will be fixed soon.
is it possible to change that path?
The path *HAS* been changed.
It's now downloading OTA updates to /data/lineageos_updates
Which a pain in the ass, because TWRP already doesn't automatically handle the script as expected on my Note3, and, I'd already gotten used to having to go to /data/data/org.lineageos.updates.
Hrmph.

Offical update to Nougat for N920A step by step. Enjoy !!!!

From The Moderator Oka1 - There are no viable links in this OP therefore, I am closing
Thanks
OK. As i promise to some nice people here, then i get it so here it is.
ADB sideload only update S4CQB2-to-U4EQC6. 1.41 GB file seems to me like nougat update.
Nougat Update Here S4CQB2-to-U4EQC6
MD5 checksum : 903aa5c5f26f430133481c4a2cfcdb69
Thanks for ABD instruction @ColoMtn
Make sure you know how to ADB sideload. I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone.
Steps:
1. Backup everything of importance on your phone!!!
2. Now, make sure you have "show file extension" enabled in Windows, and file is ready for ADB as you download SS-N920AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip
3. Shutdown your phone
4. Enter recovery mode by pressing volume up, home and power button together
* A green Droid will appear on screen with the text Installing system update…
5. Using the Volume Button Navigate and the Power button to select ‘Apply Update from ADB’
6. Connect your phone via USB to your computer
7. Open a CMD prompt from your PC. Type cd
in my case: cd C:\Users\Norbarb\Desktop\Note5
8. Navigate to the directory that contains the update ‘SS-N920AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip’
*Note I had issue when the directory contained a space. Moving the update to a directory with no spaces resolved the issue.
Also moved the adb driver to the same directory 'C:\Users\Norbarb\Desktop\Note5'
9. Type adb devices. You should see 1 device listed
10.Type adb sideload SS-N920AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip
11. This took around 25 minutes to complete
12. Phone will now be updated Nougat
EDIT: Please post mirrors if you can. Thanks
For who may need it this is S4CQA1 to U4QC6 update. File is around 1.5 GB and MD5 is 23d4d4c58330b618001e76fc468732d9
Congratulations! Hopefully 928a will have it soon

On what firmware currently are you? This update is only from baseband N920AUCS4CQB2. Also you may have corrupted recovery. To fix this you have to ODIN back to latest firmware and try again.
Anyway just in case i'm uploading raw file w/o .zip extension to another place.
