I got my op3 phone loaded up with twrp version 3.0.2-1 but many errors occurred after I flashed this version.
Current problems on my phone right now:
-"The dm-verity is not started in enforcing mode" occurs every time I turn on the phone.
-Twrp won't read any of my files inside the "sdcard" folder wether it's just regular folder, .zip files, and even .img files.
-It also looks like only 1 version works of twrp works on my phone right now since any twrp versions after 3.1.0 causes the twrp program to froze and doesn't completely move past welcome screen of twrp.
I believe I had the same problem. Contact OnePlus on their support page. In a chat support window, tell the operater about your problem, and ask for an appointment with a level 2 technician. They should schedule you an appointment with a technician who should be able to wipe your phone no matter what state/condition it's in. They fixed my phone in a matter of minutes. But PLEASE, try to remember to be respectful and co-operative, it usually gets you better service no matter who you are dealing with.
For dm - verity problem, it's not a problem tough... Just a security breach as seen by Google.
BTW here is the fix...It's easy , follow the thread :

Can't comment on twrp as I'm on the 3.0.2-1, haven't tried 3.1. Hope it helps, Thanks!
Use TWRP 3.0.4-1. 3.0.2 can't decrypt internal storage, at least not on mine it couldn't.
Also if you have f2fs file system, TWRP takes a loooooong time to boot. Just wait, even though it seems hung. Takes several minutes. If you have ext4, it's quick. Use the app 'Diskinfo' to check
I had TWRP 3.1 and it would not do OTA of lineage, it would wipe the device when I tried and would not restore backed ROMs, stay away from TWRP 3.1. So, i went back to 3.0.4.1 via fastboot. My suggestion is flash the stock recovery from Oxygen 3.8 marshmallow (this can be found in the archived OnePlus 3 tool kit on XDA) and then sideload the stock marshmallow Oxygen 3.2.8 (download from OnePlus support page) and start all over.

That doesn't make sense..
The latest recovery works fine here, atleast the official one. If you are in F2fs and encrypted keep in mind it takes a long long time since F2fs is really bad at this.. Depending in how full your internal storage is it can take up to 10 minutesm
Twrp 3.0.4.1 or
3.1.0 x v.26 blu_spark.
To get OTA you need to be stock, only Oos official stuff.
I do have my oneplus 3 formatted as f2fs, but it is not encrypted. I don't know what happened to it when I tried to do an update with lineage os it basically factory reset the phone (and no I didn't wipe anything but the cache) and it would not install any zips from my internal sd card. I had to go back to fastboot and reflash TWRP 3.0.4.1 recovery. Then I wiped the device and reinstalled lineage, now it works perfectly fine.
They are lineage nighty OTA updates.

SOO, I may have broken my find 7a, I was running on DU 8.2 with LVM, decided it was time to switch the the DU lolipop build, so I did everything right, backed up all my apps, did a TWRP backup. DU loli doesn't support LVM, so I flashed the remove LVM zip, rebooted recovery, tried to install DU loli and it failed, restarted recovery, tried it again and it failed, decided I would try the remove LVM zip once more and flash loli again, no go. So then I decide that I'm not brave enough for lolipop and flash the Setup LVM zip and try to restore my backup, it fails on restoring data (over and over, even on my older backups). This isn't good, because I need my phone, so I download 2 more roms, DU 8.2 and Nameless lolipop, They install in probably under a second, but then don't boot with or without LVM. So then I decide that maybe If I flash Remove lvm, Wipe everything, then use Coldbirds method twice (unsplit then split) that might reset everything. That didn't work, neither did flashing nameless with coldbirds unified, I've been trying everything I can think of, and I'm at my wits end, I don't know what I'm on coldbirds wise, it's probably my 8 or 9th time using that tool today. I have fastboot working, and recovery working (Used twrp 2.8.0.1, 2.7.1.0 entropy, 2.x.x.x coldbirds). Is there a way to just reset everything back to stock? All my partitions and such? Would flashing Oppo recovery and a color OS rom do that? Is there anything else I can try? Thanks for any responses or advice

hello all,
I have a rooted OP3 running the latest TWRP recovery. Using these instructions I am trying to upgrade to 3.2.8 from 3.2.7. There are no errors displayed during OOS or SuperSU install steps.
But when the phone reboots - it stays stuck at the boot animation. This happens across several attempts. I do not have xposed installed, if it helps. Repeating the above steps with a 3.2.7 image works without issues.
Is there any way I can figure out where the 3.2.8 reboot is getting stuck at? I *do not* want to do a fresh install.
Any thoughts/ Suggestions? I have already posted at the above thread and thought I'd try my luck here too.
EDIT: Can a MOD please move this to Q&A forum. Just realized I posted to Guides, News & Discussion.
backup all your data and install 3.2.8 with the official procedure

That's my last option. But that's as good as starting from scratch. In which case, I might as well postpone until Nougat arrives on the OP3

and wait without a phone?
Flash the new Beta 10. i'm currently using it with root and it works great
Not sure what you mean - without a phone. I was able to roll back to 3.2.7 with zero issues
I was mulling over installing the Beta - but I understand Nougat is due in Jan? Also, is there a process to move to b10 without losing data?

i got the impression that your phone wasn't booting xD
well, every time i flash those betas (9 and 10) TWRP asks me for a PIN that doesn't exists and to solve that i need wipe everything... so i wouldn't count on that

Did you download the full 3.2.8 zip from http://downloads.oneplus.net? I did. And to my surprise, it erases the whole userdata partition, including TWRP backups and downloaded files (including SuperSU zip). So big warning if you try with that zip. I assume that this zip is intended for those reverting from Nougat Beta, to go back from F2FS to EXT4.
My solution was to restore an old TWRP backup that was saved on my PC and then reflash a modified full 3.2.8 zip where the last line in the update script was removed: the one that erases userdata partition. So before flashing full 3.2.8 zip from http://downloads.oneplus.net I recommend you to remove the last line in the update script.
No, I downloaded the Full ZIP from this official thread on the OP3 forums. I was aware of that line though. And from previous experience - the first thing I do when I make a TWRP backup is to move it off the phone. That and I purchased Titanium Backup long time ago. I use it to back up stuff surgically and sync it up to Dropbox every night. The app also seems to have the ability to make a recovery-flashable "update.zip" - something I have yet to try.
Appreciate the heads-up though.

OK. I also use TB, and from now on I use cloud storage :laugh:
After the full modified 3.2.8 zip I successfully flashed official SuperSU 2.79, Xposed v87 and Bluspark r25 kernel. I use F2FS on data partition. It boots and runs fine!
The only thing I'm a bit concerned about is that it stays on the bootlogo (OnePlus logo, Powered by Android) for about 25 secs before the bootanimation begins when booting to system. Much faster before. When booting to recovery (TWRP 28, Bluspark) the time on bootlogo is normal (short). Any thoughts on that?
I wish I had, man. You went a number of steps ahead when your phone went past the boot animation
As a afterthought - try looking through your logs.

Hi,
When attempting to use TWRP recovery with wileyfox's stock rom, I've a few issues.
First of all, TWRP completely fails to mount /system. It thinks it is 0mb, and as such I cannot install apps onto it (e.g. SuperSU).
Secondly, if I were to boot into system, the recovery would be reset back to the original, and I'd have to re-flash TWRP.
Thirdly, if I use the advanced restart to go to recovery, it may flash up saying it is factory resetting the phone. (It isn't, as when I go back into system everything is as it should be)
A few days ago I was using a version of lineage (A few weeks old) just fine. TWRP would stay installed, it would recognize /system and I could install things to it just fine.
I emailed wileyfox's team for a copy of the most up-to-date OEM rom, which is what is giving me the above issues. I did encounter these issues when i first had the phone, hence my switch to lineage. Though i'd like to go back to the original rom and try and fix this if possible.
I did try changing the file system to F2FS which did allow me to mount /system, but the phone chucked itself into a bootloop so I wiped & flashed it.
Does anyone know what file system works best with the wileyfox swift? Maybe this is the answer.
The goal here is to root the phone, if there's another way of doing so without TWRP, then that's ok with me.
I have some images uploaded on an imgur album to show the problem, however I cannot put them in this yet post as I'm a new user.
Last weekend, I decided to flash a new ROM since the one I have been using is no longer being developed. I flashed a LineageOS nightly build because I used to like Cyanogenmod and heard Lineage is a continuation. I do like the ROM overall, but for some reason it encrypted my phone during install. I did not want it to do this, it just did it without asking me (when I first got my phone, I remember I was having problems with it being encrypted, with my recovery and such).
Is there any way to reinstall LineageOS without it encrypting the phone? If not, how do I decrypt the phone again and get back to basically stock + root? I downloaded the most up-to-date stock 7.1.2 ROM from Google, and was going to just flash that, but it wouldn't let me in TWRP (said the zip was not valid). I also tried rolling back to an older backup (not LineageOS), but the phone never booted.
FYI - I use Linux Mint and have the latest adb/fastboot, and the latest TWRP for Nexus 5x.
Thank you if you can help.

If you want to flash stock rom you have to flash it via fastboot. The instruction is on the Google download side. But if I remember right you have to wipe everything so make a backup of important data.
If I format my "userdata" with fastboot to get rid of the encryption, do you know if it will delete my ROM backups? I think the encryption is why I'm having trouble going to another ROM from LineageOS. I REALLY wish the ROM would simply ask you before deciding to encrypt the phone. I have no reason to encrypt my phone, and I don't want it encrypted.
I know there are several threads that will show me how to get back to stock but theyre all at least a few years old. Currently my 5T is running a custom rom based on Android 11 with TWRP bluspark 3.3.1x. Can I just put a full stock zip on my sdcard and flash it in Twrp? Then by via adb or twrp, flash the stock recovery?
My main concern is getting stuck in a place it's hard to recover from. Based on my reading (and from memory) I believe the above will work but I'm not sure which recovery to flash nor am I certain which rom because its been updated. I don't believe I can flash an android 10 rom or recovery to it at this time. That would be for me the simplest solution. Once I get it back to stock I can just do the OTA updates.
The phone isn't for me. I'm giving it to a kid who needs it currently and the rom it's currently running has terrible battery drain. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I had heavily modified my phone where my sdcard(internal storage) itself was not getting recognised and has tried custom os like Ubuntu touch and sailfish OS installed. But recently flashed OOS 10.0.1 back on my oneplus5t device. What I did was to wipe partition system, data, cache/dalvik and format data. Then I flashed the rom. When the device started. I did a factory reset again. This worked for me.
