1. I started with fully working Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 (Rooted)
2. I'm a newbie to flashing ROM, and read numerous articles to build awareness (and have never used a forum before - so please be gentle!)
3. Installed ClockworkMod Recovery using "ROM Manager"
4. Flashed Slim6 (Slim-6.0.1.alpha.0.1-UNOFFICIAL-20160522-1030) ROM, then Gapps, then re-booted and all OK (Note2 seemed to work fine)
5. Kernel is now3.0.101-Haxynox
6. Spotted (and surprised) that Note 2 no longer rooted (and in particular, want to use Titanium Backup)
7. So, flashed CWM6-root-note2.tar using ODIN, resulting in "Pass"
8. Note2 still not Rooted, and suspect that I should have flashed SuperSu after Slim6 ROM and before Gapps
9. So, tried to reboot to ClockworkMod reccovery using "ROM Manager" but hangs. Tried using VOL+ and HOME and POWER (many times, and for different intervals) but see Samsung logo followed by some "stripes" on the screen (rather like the horizontal hold needs to be adjusted for those that are old enough to remember such things!), but it will not boot into recovery mode.
10. In addition, Odin no longer appears to see the Note2
11. Note2 will boot conventionally, but I'm extremely keen not to have to live without rooting and flashing capability
12. I've searched hard for hints for this particular issue, but would really appreciate some advice, at least so that I don't make my beautiful Note2 any worse (and hope I've not missed any posts that I should have spotted!).
13. Please let me know if I've missed any key information.
Thanks in advance.
Flash the tar version of TWRP for your phone using Odin. You can root by flashing supersu from TWRP.
CWM is very outdated and cannot be used to flash current custom ROMSs.
Many thanks, I've moved over to TWRP and it seems much better.
I also tried to find a more "suitable" (reliable) ROM and chose Resolution Remix, especially as services kept stopping on Slim6.
So now I can get to recovery mode, but still I have issues. Mainly...
a) I've so far failed to flash a compatible Gapps file
b) I've flashed supersu and busybox (Root_SuperSU.0.98-Busybox.1.20.2-signed.zip) but root is still not available. Sometimes I see a "Grant" prompt but it hangs for ages when I grant. The SuperSU app can be seen, but is not responsive. Titanium Backup responds eventually to confirm that Root is not available.
c) Downloading from the Playstore is problematic (sometime very slow to download, usually extremely slow to install - go for a walk type of slow!)
d) Typically the pre-installed applications "stop" shortly/immediately after trying to start them (for example, "Browser", "Clock",...), but then appear after "OK"ing the Close infor box
e) Is my choice of ROM reasonable? And/or is there a ROM which has ROOT "baked in"? (Or, should I go back to JellyBean as being more suitable for a Note2?)
f) Is there some "fine tuning" to the flash process that I need to learn about?
Any hints/tips would be welcome, and many thanks for your initial suggestion to move to TWRP
Is the ROM pre-rooted? If yes, don't flash supersu.
You performed a full wipe, including data, before flashing the ROM?
Phone is running these latest bootloader and modem?
Various versions of gapps are here and flash there version that matches your ROM and processor: http://opengapps.org
Many thanks for your further questions/prompts...
a) Yes, I believe I had done a full wipe before flashing, but haven't touched bootloader and modem so they may well be "old"
b) More reading suggests that Cyanogenmod 13 is a very popular ROM, so flashed this with TWRP
c) Found that with this ROM there were no issues when flahsing openGapps
d) Eventually discovered/realised that CM13 is pre-rooted (but has to be enabled in Settings) and that flashing supersu was causing problems
So, with the benefit of hindsight, if I'd used TWRP/CM13/OpenGapps without flashing supersu, it would have been straightforward! I've certainly learned a lot and you supporting questions have led me to what seems to be a nice, stable implementation of Marshmallow - thanks again.
I'm still looking for a quick/easy way to take a screenshot (just used a palm-swipe before), and a free "real" FM radio, but pretty much everything else works.
Great!!!
Glad you got the phone working on CM. We're all here to help and learn from each other.
Last time I looked, which was a while ago, there was no custom AOSP or CM rom that supported radio functions. If you want the FM radio, look into custom ROMs based on a stock Samsung kernel.
Hello,
[Sorry: can't edit title]
I've been trying to install Lineage 14.1 on my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro (SM-T520), and haven't been successful.
I keep getting the message "Google Services Framework keeps stopping", sometimes alternating with the message "android.process.media has stopped".
I've used the following installation procedure:
1. Starting with the stock Samsung Android v4.4.2, I used Odin v3.1.2, to root the device, by installing
CF-Auto-Root-picassowifi-picassowifixx-smt520.tar.md
2. I used Odin to install picassowifi TWRP v2.8.7.0. I didn't use the latest v3.1.1-0, because it reboots the
device while making Nandroid backups. Available here
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/picassowifi/
3. I copied several versions of Lineage OS amd Gapps (see below) to the device's SD card
4. I used TWRP to wipe the cache/dalvic/data/system each time, using the Wipe->Advanced option
5. I used TWRP to install the Lineage OS amd Gapps as an atomic operation on the device
6. After installation, I rebooted from TWRP:
- without rooting: I get the message "Google Services Framework keeps stopping"
- with rooting, by installing SuperSU: The device enters into a boot loop, displaying the sliding Lineage logo
I followed the same procedure to update my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, and it worked flawlessly.
I tried the following Lineage OS versions, available here:
https://download.exynos5420.com/LineageOS-14.1/n2awifi/
lineage-14.1-20170506-UNOFFICIAL-n2awifi.zip
lineage-14.1-20170715-UNOFFICIAL-n2awifi.zip
I also tried the folowing Lineage OS versions, available here:
https://download.lineageos.org/n2awifi
lineage-14.1-20170608-nightly-n2awifi-signed.zip
lineage-14.1-20170713-nightly-n2awifi-signed.zip
I tried the following versions of Gapps, available here (32-bit arm, Android v7.1, stock variant):
http://opengapps.org/?api=7.1&variant=stock
open_gapps-arm-7.1-stock-20170505.ziip
open_gapps-arm-7.1-stock-20170711
I tried several combinations of these 2 packages. With all the combinations I tried, I got the results summarised above.
This post suggests installing Lineage OS alone without Gapps, and then install Webview Implementation, if not installed:
http://www.lineageosrom.com/2017/02/how-to-fix-google-play-services-error.html
When I tried this and reboot, I get the messages "android.process.media" has stopped, followed by the message "clock has stopped". When I click away these messages, and click on next on the Lineage OS screen, the device enters into a boot loop displaying the sliding Lineage logo. This agrees with the Lineage recommendation, that both packages need to be installed at the same time:
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/n2awifi/install
Can anyone please help? I really don't want to go back to Android v4.4.2 on my SM-T520.
Hello so to get rid of the error I would suggest downloading samsung kies 1 not 2 or 3 and flashing completely back to stock then try rooting and flashing rom should get rid of system errors and force closes. Kies will ask you for model and serial number. Serial is found on back of the tablet. As another suggestion I would try resurrection remix by cosmox. It is very stable everything works. I just posted a link in that thread with a link to download samsung kies for a 64 bit windows and other relevant files if you need. Let me know if you need any other help. Also closer inspection of your links. I think for sm-t520 u should be using twrp Picassowifi, not n2awifi so idk if that will work or not. Not sure about that part though because they may have made it work on Picasso.
Thanks paintball.
I confirm that I had used picassowifi TWRP. I've edited the original post to indicate this.
I've also tried what you suggested - I reinstalled the original stock Samsung firmware using Odin, and used TWRP to again install Lineage. Same result, still displaying the same Google Service errors.
I'll look at the Resurrection remix.
Paul
paintball,
I've found a solution, that I thought I'd post here in case anyone else has the same problem.
I wiped the cache/dalvic after each step of the installation:
Wipe-> Advanced -> wipe cache / data / dalvic / system
Install -> flash Lineage -> wipe cache/dalvic
Install -> flash Gapps -> wipe cache/dalvic
Reboot -> don't install SuRoot
I got a Music closed error during the first boot, which hasn't appeared since.
Afterwards, I used Odin to install CF-Auto-Root. The device rebooted twice after this step, but now appears to be OK.
A final problem I had was that it couldn't find my wifi SSID. I solved this by setting wifi region to Europe.

I suggested using Samsung kies which I'm positive works, not Odin, but I'm glad you got it fixed.

I'm having a similar issue. Mine differs in the following ways.
I was able to successfully install and run LineageOS with OpenGApps full, but reverted to a nandroid backup because I needed some information from the original install. Since then, I have been unable to get past the initial couple of screens for setting things up--and this with the constant "Google Services Framework keeps stopping" error.
I have tried most of the "fixes" I've found but to no avail. I notice that, (1) when I go to the drop-down menu and setup WiFi, as soon as the device connects to the Internet, I go to the Lineage bootup animation and get stuck there. If I hard boot from there, I can get in up to the point where I connect to the Internet (not just router, but actually get through to the Internet) and (2) I cannot enable Developer options--when I try, no matter how many times I click on the Build number, I get no indication of the options being enabled.
I have tried several permutations of Lineage OS nightlies along with various flavors of OpenGApps, with and without root, wiping cache/dalvik/data/system, wiping only some, wiping none.
I also cannot restore the backup of the running LOS that I had up (I did take a backup before going back to the original setup). When I try, I get the same results as above--as if I had backed-up an un-instantiated setup.
Any thoughts?

Hi Eckster,
I have exactly the same problem on a LG G2 with LOS 14.1. It ran July version perfectly but I didn't make a backup and now I'm stuck. Did you ever manage to fix this?
Thanks,
Kevin
Managed to solve it. I formatted all partitions _including_ data (which means you'll also loose all zips you wanted to install so make sure that adb is working). Then rebooted into the recovery. Installed as usual, worked.

:thumbsup: I was on lineage 14, all was well. I tried an old stock rom NK2, that was fine. I tried to restore lineage backup via twrp, got this problem with the framework crashing. No amount of re-flashing twrp nor lineage, gapps, modem, bootloader, etc nothing worked; always crashed right after boot to lock screen. Finally twrp "format data" - yes. Now lineage boots to welcome, no crash; restore backup - after copying it back to internal - and all is good.
I'm glad it works but why is it needed in this case to remake the filesystem on data - does it work by removing some bad file or does it work by rebuilding the ext4 and security context? this is with latest twrp twrp-3.2.1-0-klte.
Hi,
don't know if you solved it eventually, or maybe helpful for other people with the same problem. I had the same problem, spent 6 days digging around on the internet why the framework keeps stopping and crashing.
I eventually found out that:
- TWRP 3.0.2.0 is WAY more stable than 3.1.1.0 (which never succeeded in installing gapps without crashing)
- Wiping system, data, dalvik recovery and internal storage is not the only thing that needs to be done. You also need to use the 'FORMAT DATA" button (everything will be wiped from your tablet, so, as always, backups )
- After that, install the lineageOS binary, after the installation, wipe dalvik/cache, go back and install the appropriate GApps package, wipe dalvik/cache and reboot
Say whatever you need to whatever deity you prefer and wait for the tablet to boot.
I hope to be of some help to other people having the same problem

Was going crazy trying to figure out why LineageOS was encountering so many ANRs. The first time I flashed Lineage it worked beautifully but every time after that it just went nuts. This fixed it for me, thanks dude!
Note to others who may end up here, after formating data I had to install a stock ROM, then wipe and install Lineage. Lineage wouldn't install due to Updater process ended with ERROR: 7 which was because there was some bit of information that was on the data partition that showed the install script that the phone was actually a Note II. Formating data blows that info away but installing stock puts it back on.

Coming into this thread after a few hours of struggle with an old GS4 I can say that this method instantly worked for me as well.
Thanks!
Thanks for the help to resolve my issue of installation. Do you have a solution for Zoom , where my audio (cannot hear other speakers) and video is missing. Did enable access for Mic, Camera etc in App permission.
Look at this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-t520-unofficial-lineage-14-1-t3538770/page86 -- last two posts

That solution didn't work. My Zoom audio still not working.
First time messing with this phone
followed the instructions for unlocking bootloader, installing TWRP, and rooting here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/oneplus-5t-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3704592
Successfully unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP, but now hung up on SuperSU.
Flashed SuperSU VV2.82 zip from http://www.supersu.com/download in TWRP
Wiped dalvik and cache
reboot
Now it's been about 10 minutes. Blank screen and blue LED.
Hold power until it reboots again, Android sometimes has issues with new boot.imgs at first

I did, three times.
I ended up flashing the latest complete OTA to get it back to being able to boot.
Are you on Oreo? I don't know if SuperSU is compatible with it. I switched to Magisk a few weeks ago.

was on the latest stock OTA, which was 8.0.0
Flashed Mgisk after flashing the latest OTA, and everything is working swimmingly
Exact Same thing happened to me last night.
And I lost my internal sdcard.
Eventually flashed stock recovery didn't do anything different so flash twrp again and got sdcard back.
It was a strange one.
Now I'm waiting for an update or the right file for root.
Maybe this has something to do with Keymaster?
So, I've been trying to get my OP5t working for a solid six hours straight, and I'm just about to loose my mind.
I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post this. I've always just sorta lurked about in here.
Here's the deal for my OP5t.
Now I'm stuck in a situation where I can get my phone to boot on all of the OOS versions I've mentioned, but always without root. And If I do manage to get it booting, I end up loosing TWRP and having to reflash it through fastboot.
Since I've always just relied on Titanium backup (yes I know, how silly) I've never had any trouble restoring my backups, but since I've now lost root and being unable to obtain it again, I'm locked out of all my sweet app data. It's all a bit messy now, and I think I'm begging to repeat previous steps and combinations, but here's a list of what I've tried. I really hope some white knight comes to the rescue.
It all happened when I tried doing a clean flash wiping caches, data and system of OOS 5.0.3 (coming from the latest official OOS Nougat build). It all started when I tried to flash the magisk 15.3 after this boot, which resulted in ERROR 1.
- I've tried installing both the old version the previous nougat build and the two most recent stable oreo ones. Wiping thoroughly inbetween even, since at this point I have nothing left to loose.
- Whenever I try to flash magisk 15,1 /3 or 4 I get error 1. Whenever I try to flash supersu (s.82 included the modded SR5 version) I Just don't get root or end up in an endless +1 screen (before the spinner) for 12+ minutes.
- I've tried flashing the stock boot.img
- I've tried all of the above in combination with bluspark recovery 8.61 and 69 + the r100 kernel
- I've tried using codeworks cheesburger and dumpling recoveries
What am I missing here? I assume my phone is encrypted since it asks for a code to open TWRP.
I've never had any issues so grave that I couldn't just search my way through it, but this time I'm at my wits end, and just about ready to settle(tm) for no root.
I've never tried exporting a log, but I sense that I do that from TWRP and then grab it via a file manager from some folder?
Use codeworkx dumpling TWRP, dirty flash your ROM, boot it once, then reboot to recovery and flash Magisk 15.3. Should be all you need.
For Nougat, I think it's better to flash Magisk 14, on some ROMs.
New apps
Great information provided by many users. I have just joined this group and read many experts advice. Thanks
Latest SuperSU (beta 2.85 i believe) don't work on OP5T Oreo update (stable or Open Beta). Don't know why, but I had to use Magisk. ANd I must say, I'm pretty happy with it, too!

Same kind of problem here. After clean flashing Oreo can't root anymore. Flashing Magisk ends up in Bootloop. Tried various combinations of TWRPs and Magisk versions, no use. :/

Okay so I managed to figure it out. The problem seemed to be that where one TWRP version could flash magisk, another wouldn't be able to decrypt the phone properly, which I think is what caused the bootloops/non sticky root for me (though I'm by no means sure of this).
I managed to get it worked out by fiddling around a bit more with the different versions and using the a Remix ROM to remove the pin (which I probably should've done initially). I also noticed that I didn't originally pay attention to the fact that codeworks' (non universal) recoveries are aimed at 8.0 and 8.1 respectively, which might have complicated things a bit more for me.
Sorry for spamming up the thread. I hope you figure things out though
The latest SuperSu does not work with 8.1 for us and some other (or all other) 8.1 phones.
And... SuperSu is no longer in development.
Rumor has it a slightly older SuperSu version works in 8.1 but I never got around to trying it and forget the version # now.
And Lineage has not released a SuperSu/superuser for 8.1 yet.
It bums me out because I want that Magisk alternative.
Not a fan of Magisk yet.

Locking the bootloader, wiping, and unlocking the bootloader again fixed the issue for me.
Hi all,
so today I found a treble-enabled ROM of Android Pie and wanted to flash it. Thing is, I need to enable treble for me first. The treble check says that Treble is indeed supported, and so does the OnePlus website, but I don't have access to the vendor partition in TWRP. Using TWRP 3.2.3-1, by the way.
So, I read that MoKee enables Treble. Tried that, flashed the rom, flashed the radio and then the rom, factory wiped, flashed rom, factory wiped, flashed radio and rom, nothing. Still can't get Treble support. Then I tried kylothow's Trebliser, but nothing there either. I am realy at a loss here - I even reinstalled OOS (newest beta of course) and I couldn't get the vendor partition to show up, which is weird considering installing said trebliser actually states "Vendor partition found, good!" when installing, and then proceeds to in fact patch the vendor partition. It just doesn"t do anything, I can't install GSIs, can't even get the treble check to register that I do in fact have treble.
So this is where I turn to you guys. Do you have any idea what I could do in this situation? Please answer genuinely and don't post "just wait for an official android p".
Thanks!
Okay there's a few things remember here after flashing the mokee trebleize pack you should have had the addition of the vendor partition included in your TWRP file system if you have the blue spark TWRP version YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THE ADDITION OF THE VENDOR PARTITION WHEN YOU GO TO MOUNT FOLLOWING THAT.
*** Make sure that after the trebleize is installed or whatever don't touch vendor partition ever just leave it alone you don't need to do anything to it it's fine if some ROM needs to update it you don't have to worry about wiping it first because it'll take care of that with the configuration script in the zip file. Even if you want to go back to a regular Android 8. 1 ROM you don't have to worry about the vendor partition the way it's set up the vendor partition that exist inside the one plus 5T that was created for Treble is not seen by any AOSP ROMs so it's going to create its own vendor folder inside of the system partition like it normally does and that you will not conflict because the fs tab does not Mount the new vendor. By leaving vendor alone and never touching it you're just ensuring that when you flashed yes eyes you're not missing something that's essential to the boot up process and it's one thing that you can from any potential uncertainty as to why a treble mage may or may not be booting.
Follow this....
Normal Android ROMs you would usually wipe system data cache D-cache if you were going to install a new ROM that wasn't just an upgraded version of the one that you were already running you'd have to start from scratch always. This is still what you should do it whenever you want to start and flash a fresh regular ROM or treble run always do that but it's how you proceed from here that is a little difference between the two.
With a regular ROM you would just go on to flash the ROM that you want to install followed by Gapps and so on.
When you want to flash a treble image you need to be on a clean fresh ROM that has treble support already good to go in that it can see that vendor partition that was made before and that it contains the binderized HALs needed as well. Because official treble support is still in beta with the OnePlus 5T the only officially supported treble Android 8. 1 ROM is mokee so you always want to start with a clean flash of the Mokee ROM because it also contains the supported kernel and ramdisk and other things as well.
Upon flashing a fresh version of mokee you want to go ahead and Flash no-dm-variety to ensure data is not encrypted because it will lead to a bootloop and the only way to get it to work will be to either format your SD card or to install the no variety which is the way to go just install it every time you flash mokee so that way you know everything is good.
**** I've only had experience using Android 8. 1 GSi so I'm not sure exactly how it would work concerning open G apps because I've only had to do it with two 8. 1 apps I'm not touching the Android P treble ROM until it's official so anything that I'm saying here has nothing to do with that if that's the image you're trying to install that I can't help you with it because I don't honestly know I remember reading something about that changing something different with it and I got to read up more on it.****
So next part depends on whether the GSI you're trying to flash comes with GFS included inside of it some do some don't I think most do but just make sure you read the instructions on the forms from where you download them from where they will tell you about the gf's the ones that I've installed that didn't have gf's on I would install mokee then I would flashed gf's to mokee but I've seen ones where people have flashed the gf's after flashing the treble images well and they didn't have any problem so just make sure you read into that one. obviously if the GS I can change the gf's then don't flash any before flashing or after as it will be flashed when we install it to the image and everything will be.
Which brings us to the last part if you did everything right up to this point then you should have no trouble installing the GSI through either TWRP or fastboot but before you do just make sure you go back to White and you just swipe to factory reset again so that we know that we cleaned out the data and we're on something clean after on encrypting the data if you did Flash no variety but remember don't wipe any partitions you want to make sure that you leave mokee on there. if you do it correctly you won't even need to wipe anything afterwards you should literally just need to be able to install the image into the system partition now and then reboot and it should work fine
It's your choice on how to go about doing it I've had success with TWRP but I've had more success using the fastboot method if for some reason you do try TWRP and it flashes and says success in 10 seconds then just reboot to fastboot mode in just flash it from there because you probably going to run into an issue just factory reset it again before you do it by swiping you don't have to wipe any of the partitions leave those alone.
So either go to the fastboot route which is put the phone in fastboot Point your terminal to the area where your GSI is located on your computer and then type fastboot flash system xxxGSI NAMEXXX.IMG.... OBVIOUSLY REPLACE THE FIRST PART WITH THE ACTUAL NAME OF YOURS. Next press enter and give it a few seconds and then you should see it's a success at which time you can reboot the phone and it should boot after a few short minutes.
If you wanted to use the twrp I believe I saw something about how you have to be on version 3.2.2 or above most likely for blue spark version as I use that one because it has treble support and I can see the vendor image even though I don't touch it. So if you flash it here you want to make sure instead of rebooting to fastboot like before you would just go to install and select image then find the image on your phone select it and then select the system images where you are installing it and then wipe the bar at the bottom for Flash and then upon it finishing you should hit reboot and let the phone boot up the first time set it up and then you can go back and you can go back to TWRP if you want to flash magisk or any other modules or TWRP Zips I've stated first then make sure you move the phone and go back and do all the modifying after otherwise you're getting stuck. I hope this helps feel free to contact me if you have any trouble.

Hi all,
so today I found a treble-enabled ROM of Android Pie and wanted to flash it. Thing is, I need to enable treble for me first. The treble check says that Treble is indeed supported, and so does the OnePlus website, but I don't have access to the vendor partition in TWRP. Using TWRP 3.2.3-1, by the way.
So, I read that MoKee enables Treble. Tried that, flashed the rom, flashed the radio and then the rom, factory wiped, flashed rom, factory wiped, flashed radio and rom, nothing. Still can't get Treble support. Then I tried kylothow's Trebliser, but nothing there either. I am realy at a loss here - I even reinstalled OOS (newest beta of course) and I couldn't get the vendor partition to show up, which is weird considering installing said trebliser actually states "Vendor partition found, good!" when installing, and then proceeds to in fact patch the vendor partition. It just doesn"t do anything, I can't install GSIs, can't even get the treble check to register that I do in fact have treble.
So this is where I turn to you guys. Do you have any idea what I could do in this situation? Please answer genuinely and don't post "just wait for an official android p".
Thanks!

Bro can u plz tell me how to get back to 8.1 oreo i am on 9.0 and didn't get treble support
Hello,
It all began that i just wanted to restart my Oneplus3 unlocked with lineage 15.
But then back in Lineage15 i wasnt able to use my pin anymore + it restarted after few seconds...
Afterwards i ended up in a lineage bootloop.
Ok, then i thought then i do a fresh flash with new lineage 16.
I tried to flash but it said i need to install new modem firmware for Lineage16.
I downdloaded the new 9.0.5 modem + firmware and flashed it from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/op3-flashable-firmware-modem-zips-t3816066
Then i tried to flash LOS16 again but it failed due to some errors on unable to mount some partitions (cache , system, etc).
So i thought i need to wipe or reformat them, as some people suggested to switch from ext4 to fat and back to reinit the partition.
I did this for at least system and internal storage. ( i learned that it was a dumb idea )
Afterwards i was not able to push anything anymore through MTP in TWRP, but i was still able to sideload or push images via adb.
Afterwards i tried to flash LOS16 or LOS15 via TWRP again but it always ends up to a "unable to mount /system (invalid argument" error at some point of the installation.
I thought: Okey maybe i go back to stock as i messed up the internal file system somehow, and go back to LOS afterwards.
So i flashed the stock recovery for nougat which i got from here: https://www.****************/2017/0...th-latest-oxygen-os-firmware-complete-unroot/
Then i tried to flash various stock Oxygen roms with the stock recovery, by using wipe + system reset + adb sideload:
4.02, 4.51, 5.08, 9.0.5
4.02 and 9.0.5 didnt run until the end.
Flashing 5.08 works but ends up in a black screen when starting it.
Flashing 4.51 works but when i start it i run into a bootloop ( 2 Dots circuling forever )
I also tried to use the 4.51 version to flash LOS again but it did not work out
I just tried again to flash 4.51 but it also didnt work out anymore. :\
So, what do you think i could do to get a working OS on my system again?
Did i do something on the installation of LOS or Oxygen ?
Can i use a backup from a friends Oneplus3_T to get a working system partition / full OS again?
Should i unbrick the phone by using one of various guides to go back to fully stock? I am kind of afraid of this, as some people describe some final brick in the threads which may be caused by modem firmware problems (Sahara issue). https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/guide-oneplus-3-3t-unbrick.531047/ or https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-3.452634/
Thank you so much, i kind of getting mad about it
@julledd
Backup from 3T seems like a bad idea.
You may have a hardware issue.
Your best bet is to use one of the tools available in the various unbrick guides. If one doesn't work, try another.
Best of luck!
Hi thx for your help!
i tried different unbrick tools (9.0.5 / 3.1.2 / 4.0.5) and after several attempts i get it flashed to the phone. But in the end it still ends up in a bootloop, either at the android logo or the circuling dots. Via Sideload i am also not able to flash a new OS. It always breaks somewhen >50%.
In very rare cases i am then able to go to the OS, but when i go to "About Phone" to unlock it for TWRP, it freezes before showing anything. I guess there is internally something broken which forbids it to show the internal state of the phone. Every boot is different, and i cannot see any system in this failure of my phone.
Do you have any more hint?
I am already at a point where i want to exchange the main PCB.. Is this possible for the Oneplus3? Can i also exchange it with a Oneplus3T PCB?
