Hi all, I think I needed to bring this issue up. I tried to install android pie ROMs lately and I faced this problem of camera. In all the ROMs, specifically the camera app along with flash light did not work. So far I have followed the instructions carefully in all the ROM threads and tried the following ROMs
1. Pixel Experience 9.0.0
2. Lineage OS 9.0.0
3. SereinOS 9.0.0
4. MSM Xtended XP4 9.0.0
5. ARROWOS 9.x
6. SUPERIOR OS FOR MI MAX
7. BootleggersROM 4.0 Stable 9.0.0
8. AOSPEXTENDED ROM V6.1
Then, I tried clearing data and cache of camera app. I tried wiping data and cache/dalvik in twrp. Then I thought I messed up some firmware partition or something and so, I flashed Xiaomi MIUI fastboot ROM to restore all the partitions and then I tried to flash a couple of PIE ROMs again. But still yielded the same result.
I am wondering why I am facing this specific issue in all the PIE ROMs. Am I missing anything?
I even tried installing HAL3 zips even though none of the threads said I should. But still, It did not work.
So, no matter what I try, I end up with "Sorry, this app can't open." and also the flashlight in the status toggles is grayed out.
Kindly can someone help me figure out some way to solve this problem? Many Thanks.

Since you have tried everything and still didn't work, so I have a suggestion for you, but I did not guarantee whether it will work or not and one more thing I'm not responsible if anything happens to your device. Do this at your own risk. First backup internal storage to your pc or flash drives, then go to twrp and wipe everything including internal storage, then flash rom (up to you) and gapps (nano) reboot, when device boot up, just skip everything and once again reboot to twrp and do a format data, to do this choose wipe and format data, type yes, enter. After that make a full wipe again but this time don't wipe internal storage, when finished, flash rom and gapps then reboot. See if it works, hope it helps you.
i also face the same issue.

After flashing TWRP with Odin, I boot into recovery and wipe the dalvik cache. I then go to install the CM13 zip file, and it works. I wipe Dalvik again and reboot in the os. This is where it just shows the CM boot screen infinitely. Nothing else. What is up. I am using the latest TWRP and CM13 release.
Try this:
1. Wipe cache, dalvic cache, data, system
2. Install CM13 again, along with your gapps(google apps if you didn't know, custom ROMs never come with them, optional)
3. Boot it, it should work
You cannot switch ROMs without wiping data. Bad things happen.
You must clean flash when:
1. Switching between a stock ROM to a custom ROM
2. Downgrading Android versions (5.1 to 5.0)
3. Switching custom ROMs (I.E. CM13 to AICP)
4. When the ROM's thread warns to (switching keys)
5. Switching between nightly builds and stable.
When you're updating nightlies, you shouldn't have to though.

Just did it, it still seems to be booting like it previously was. Wiped cache, dalvic, data, and system and then installed CM13 and gapps. Still booting as I write this.
Since that failed, check your download, make sure nothings bad. If its bad, redownload, if not, idk.
If you post your recovery logs, or what the console says, that will help me figure out what's going on.
Also, is your phone the triband model (l710t)?
Are you flashing anything else at the same time?
The more info you give, the better.

I've kind of given up at this point. Even CM12 doesn't work. The only thing that seems to work is the stock rom. My phone is the regular SPH-L710 model. I didn't even know the L710t was a thing.
I have the same problem, and sometimes it boot in the system setup mode, but the sensor is not working, i can turn on airplane mode, reboot or power off, and sensor works, what happend i dont know((

That just seems to be a stock rom.
yes it stock rom, after it was installed, I was able to install 13 cm
My Issue:
No Simcard is found and the Wifi setting wont even show up any Wifi, only the loading bar. When i wait a few minutes my OP3 reboots and the rest works untill in reboots again after a few minutes.
My Story:
Yesterday i updated to 3.2.6 with magisk, phh systemless root and systemless xposed and everything went fine.
Today i did a backup (all partitions) and did a full wipe (except storage) and then flashed Resurrection Remix. I cant tell if the issue was already occuring at this time but i did a full wipe (except the internal storage partition, everything) again and recovered my backup. Definitely since then i am nolonger able to use my phone. I tried wiping everything (now even with storage) and flashing pure stock OOS (3.2.6) but nothing changed.
I am very desperate and dont know whats going on and how to fix it. Thanks to everyone who can help.
when you say you did a backup, exactly which partitions did you backup?
when you say full wipe, exactly which partitions did you wipe?
when you say then flashed OOS, exactly which version did you flash? And have you ever flashed the OOS CB 3.5.2?
Thanks for your fast answere i hope you can save my ass.
I went to Advanced wipe and selected everything except internal storage at the first time and the second time when i tried to clean flash oxygen os i wiped everything you can find there to be sure.
My Backup and the Clean Oxygen OS zip are both 3.2.6
In my Backup every partition is backed up except Cache.
No i never installed any CB.
Additional info: it was the unofficial [OxygenCam] Ressurection Remix and i did not flash Gapps over RR.
regardless of what you did, a clean flash should work if you're wiping /system + /data and then flashing a TWRP flashable version of OOS (since it includes gapps)
regarding RR, it probably requires gapps, but i could be wrong as i haven't used it (i know gapps were needed for sultan's CM which I used, for example)

Yes but my problem is that i wiped data and system a second time and tried flashing the clean 3.2.6 and after that in the first boot setup guide kinda thing it begins with my issue of no sim wifand random reboot, i my try with 3.2.4 now (sounds more stable)
Is there a downloadlink for full rom 3.2.4 at the op homepage?
I clean flashed oos 3.2.4 like you said but still the same error...
It seems like my efs is broken, i have no imei number anymore
Back after a long time.
My OP3
- Freedom OS 2.10.4 [Android 7.1.1]
- BluSpark Recovery v40
On my OP3 I've always been on Freedom OS . Mostly due to
- Being close to stock,
- Debloated
- rooted for ad blocker, cerberus and titanium
However off the late facing lot of issue with network. Frequent drops on VoLTE and 4G networks on both sims. VoLTE sim will often disconnect and I will end with "Dial-> Immediate Call Ended" issue.
=> What would you recommend to use as daily driver ?
Would appreciate if you should add links. Any additional info regarding prerequisites (recovery, firmware etc) will be helpful.
You can try:
1-OxygenOS 5.0.3 with RenderZenith or Derp kernel.(Do not go for open beta OxygenOS builds, they are abandoned.)
2-Paranoid Android 7.3.1(Nougat but it won't upset you)
3-If camera, VoWiFi and OTA updates are not important, OmniDragon.
Everyone's expectations are different. These are just mine experiences.
You should update your TWRP before flashing, i guess it is outdated; PA and OxygenOS contains their own firmware but for OmniDragon you can use Open Beta 39/OxygenOS 5.0.3 firmwares.

Thanks. Will check OxygenOS 5.0.3
Any reason why you did not suggest LineageOS?
Also will I be able to keep custom recovery and root with OxygenOS 5.0.3

According to my experiences, unfortunately LineageOS 15.1 is not a daily driver on SD820 phones. Used it on Mi5 and OP3, both of them suffered with lag, overheating, shuttering, deep sleep not working sometimes (lost apx.%30 battery per night), bad camera quality. It is good rom, but this issues must be solved.
You can keep root and TWRP on OOS. Process:
1-Flash TWRP and boot it.
2-Make the wipes(dalvik/data/cache/system are must, if you want full wipe of userdata you can select internal storage too.
3-Install OxygenOS zip, custom kernel zip(optional) and latest Magisk beta zip(16.7 today).
Reboot and profit.

Thank you for helping with my queries.
So it's just like flashing a custom rom. Also If I wipe internal storage then the ROM zip file will also get wiped. Wonder how do I copy it then?
Last set of queries before I flash this coming weekend
- Whch TWRP ? Latest blu_spark should do ? (I remember blu_spark had specific TWRP for OP3_OP3T
- I remember reading about recovery getting overwritten when flashing OxygenOS.. Will it happen with full rom zip
- Any precautions you would like to suggest ?

Yes, if you wipe internal storage, the rom will be wiped. But you can just copy it from your pc while you are in twrp.
Latest Blu_spark twrp works fine for me. Will work for you too.
If recovery is overwritten, you can just flash twrp again via fastboot. It won't be overwritten then.
I think there was a way that after you can avoid having to fastboot by just installing twrp again right after you have flashed oos rom and then reboot. But I am not quite sure if it works. Maybe someone else with experience can elaborate. Anyways, the fastboot method will definitely work.
@hyperorb , If you flash Magisk right after OOS, your recovery won't be replaced by Oxygen one.
For recovery, you can use Official TWRP or OmniDragon TWRP.
many thanks @qhsusb_bulk @Harsh862
will try wit latest blu_spark first but will also keep others handy. Will not refresh internal storage for now. Maybe once I get a bit comfortable with this part. Will revert once I update.

Step 9 happens to me everytime I flash OOS/OB. I simply wait for the white led to come on, press the Power button for 8+ seconds and phone switches off. Restart in recovery mode and flash Magisk. This time it will install.
Hi,
I'm trying to install this Custom ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix-2/development/rom-havoc-os-t3883065
I've previously used the Custom ROM if xiaomi.eu.
Now that I'm trying to install an AOSP ROM it won't let me boot the system.
I've unbind my Mi Account and device from https://i.mi.com/ and unlocked bootloader in developer settings before wipe eveything and flash the havoc OS rom.
Is there something I'm missing? I've done that multiple times before with non-Xiaomi phones but never had such problems.
I tried to reinstall a xiaomi.eu ROM and it worked btw.
Is your bootloader really unlocked?

Strange. For me xiaomi.eu roms never worked for me. Have u tried flashing global stable 10.0.2.0 zip via TWRP first? Not the xiaomi.eu rom.
All you have to do is wipe system, caches, data, dalvik. Then flash havoc and gapps. Let it boot. Then reboot to recovery (before setting ur lockscreen password) and flash magisk if u want root
Format Data is required. Did you do that?
So what happened when u try to open ur mix2?
The mi screen forever? Or just black.
How come you have to keep doing Format Data after each update of any rom?
I've been using the G6 Play for about a week now, and first thing I did was to flash a custom ROM. It was complicated, but in the end I managed to do it. However, I'm having problems with the current ROM I'm using, Resurrection Remix (namely the lack of FM Radio, and the fact that it randomly reboots to recovery while I'm using Twitter specifically), so I was trying to upgrade my phone to what seems to be the next release of RR. However, I can't afford to lose my current data because I don't have enough storage space to run Titanium Backup, and most non-GSI ROMs that I know of can be upgraded without requiring the full wipe of data. What I've already tried is the following:
Delete the current System partition but NOT Data
Use Fastboot to flash the new ROM
Return to TWRP to fix the partition, then resize it
Reinstall OpenGApps
Reinstall the verity disabler (Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_08.18.2019)
Install Busybox
Install Magisk
Install Magisk-Props to avoid the "Google Play uncertified" error
Clear Dalvik and cache
Reboot
However, every time I do this with anything but the ROM I'm currently running, the system attempts to boot and after the boot logo appears for a few minutes, it reboots directly to TWRP. (Same thing happens to me at random while using the Twitter app specifically, for some reason!). My question is: is it absolutely necessary to wipe data in order to upgrade a GSI ROM from a version to the next? If so, what is the fastest way to restore all data, and should I invest on an external SD card?
I think it mostly depends on the rom you're using, some of them seem to be more sensitive than others. I know in the past I've been able to upgrade AOSP and Descendant successfully.
