Hi,
I have a rooted OP5 with 4.5.13.
I tried to install the flashable zip (from here) via TWRP without wipe, but ended up in a bootloop.
I've restored to the nandroid backup, wiped data, and tried again. This time the OP5 managed to boot only to recovery.
I've verified the md5 of the file I've used.
Do you know why this is happening? Do you know how I can upgrade to 4.5.14?
Thanks.
Did you download the full ROM or just the update?
I tried both. I didn't succeeded to install the update (as it is not intended for rooted devices).
The full rom is what caused the bootloop.
If you are doing a dirty flash you wipe cache and system. If you are doing a clean flash you wipe cache, system and data. It doesn't sound like you wiped the correct partitions when doing your flash. You also need to flash Magisk or SU after the ROM flash and before booting up or you will lose TWRP and root. If your phone is decrypted for some reason you also need to flash a no verify zip or your phone will boot loop because OOS is made for encrypted phones.

Hello
I had a problem with my phone earlier today where it would reboot one or two minutes before it started, so I install twrp recovery and tried installing Ota 009 which I found here on xda, how ever now I'm stuck when I'm trying to install it?
Thanks in advance
Did you flash the whole ROM or only the OTA file?
For the latest version (2.1.2), as there is no full zip, only the incremental file, you need to flash the FULL 2.1.1 and then directly the 2.1.2 in TWRP.
You can flash only the OTA file alone if your system is stock and untouched (no root / TWRP).
In your case you need to flash the whole ROM then the OTA.

I'm trying to flash Oxygen OS 2.1.1 the full rom but it just get stuck in TWRP nothing happens. Im using the rom from that thread you just liinked
Try wiping dalvik cache, cache, system, and data. (NOT INTERNAL STORAGE) then flash again.
I decided to upgrade to the latest Oxygen OS yesterday.
I had root, and TWRP Custom Recovery(3.2.1-0) and unlocked bootloader.
I unrooted, relocked bootloader and installed the latest full zip from oxygen os.
Then I unlocked bootloader and rerooted again and installed TWRP Recovery again.
Everything was working fine.
After everything was installed/restored I figured it would be good to take a nandroid backup, I took one and on reboot I get a bootloop to recovery.
I was able to reproduce this twice.
I think this has to do with something with fingerprint setup.
I'm a bit a loss on how to fix this without going trough a full wipe again.
I already tried wiping cache and dalvik, but no solution.
i had the same kind of issue. were you decrypted before?
If you are decrypted you need to flash the no verify zip. If you are encrypted try a dirty flash of OOS and Magisk. If you aren't using the most up to date version of Magisk that could have caused your problem. I've had no issues with Nandroid backup problems caused by fingerprint or pin security when using Codeworks or Blu Spark TWRP.
I was encrypted before and I am still encrypted.
I don't understand that taking a backup renders the phone unusable.
Restore fails with createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255.
I made a clean flash(and locked bootloader) as it is a requirement for the latest OOS due to the upgrade to oreo.
Would it be possible to do a dirty flash with the full zip (I used: OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_028_all_1801031502_04d7cc5.zip) and unlocked bootloader?
Secondly, I think I will try one of the suggested recoveries and see what it brings.
Before going into the subject, I'll say that I have tried to seach this matter in XDA and Google, but nothing showed up.
Okay, so my matter is that I can't restore my backup of stock rom(8.0) after I flash a 8.1 rom. I've backuped with official TWRP "recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo.img".
My procedures are :
back up stock 8.0(system, data, cache, efs) with official TWRP "recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo.img"
flash oreo rom(with wiping internel, data, system, cache) and boot it fine.
restore my stock backup with same TWRP
boot system
The results are :
Goes past boot logo
Boot animation('android one' with colors sliding) shows up
and... just infinite loop of boot animation.
The ROM I used is RR.
I think the main problem is related with encryption.... Just my thought, tho.
So what I'm asking is :
1. If you face the same problem as me?
2. If you aren't and you restore goes fine, please tell me your procedures including ROM used and TWRP used.
3. Whether it is safe to decrypt stock rom?
Thanks in advance!
You don't need to flash stock ROM again. You have a system image backup(system, data, cache, efs), right? Wipe data , system, cache if you are coming from any other ROM. Then reboot to bootloader. Boot into latest TWRP from Fastboot (don't flash). Then go to restore and restore the system image you had backed up. Don't restore efs if you haven't lost your IMEI.
I've done exactly as ypu told, but it doesn't boot...
Did you manage to restore without problem with your method?
Yes I was able to. No problem here.
What TWRP did you use? Also, what ROM have you flashed?
Used the latest TWRP by MohanCM for Oreo. I did it when I was on Lineage os and wanted to go to stock
@guy_infinity Okay, thanks for your answer! Gonna try out later, once more.
Hmmm.... Still didn't boot up.
I thought I had to do everything from the begining, but flashing stock with save userdata option rescued me.
P.S. does anyone know about the error E: recv error on uevent?
try flashing stock rom using mi flash and after flashing restore normally using latest twrp/deadman's without system image voila everything will be back
@arjunbalan1994 Big thanks for your suggestion! Will try that too later
Hi, did you solve your restore problem? I have the same w/ my Redmi Note 5 and stock Miui backup after flashing RR.
Thanks for your help
I was use 8.1 root and twrp recovery. Yesterday fastboot flash may rom and update 2nd may OTA
Don't understand : May rom is Miui rom?
And did you restore your miui rom 8.0 backup ith twpr after the fastboot flash stock?
Ok, so I am not new to flashing rom but for some reason I am having huge issues trying to install clean stock OOS 5.1.4 rom. Just want to double check I am not doing anything stupid since I mainly been flashing custom roms (xXx rom mainly).
So I simply wipe dalvik/ART cache, cache, system and data (want to start off completely clan) then flashed the OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_037_all_1807181258_7b4b6.zip file in TWRP.
I am currently on the latest blue TWRP and after flashing, it will try to boot but reboots back into TWRP. I have tried the zip file from a number of sources and they all do the same. Am I missing something here?
UPDATE: I did do something stupid after all. I forgot that my Oneplus was decrypted. So all I had to do was go into TWRP and go to Wipe and format data to re-encrypt it.

When starting fresh, wiping of internal storage should be considered. I recommended 2 guides here https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...nos-beta-1-android-oreo-t3710003/post77205633
I've been running rooted CRDroid 9.0 (with Magisk and No_Verity) for years and wanted to go back to Oxygen, so I downloaded OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_068_all_2006012224_c7a6016 and updated my TWRP to 3.4.0.0. I followed the instructions - took a TWRP backup, flashed the Magisk uninstaller, did a full wipe (dalvik-cache, cache, system, vendor and data) and then tried to flash the ROM. I got an error due to the compatibility file. So, I tried to restore my TWRP backup and am now getting bootloops.
The instructions say I have to remove the compatibility file on my device, but I can't because of the bootloops.
Can anyone please help me to either get my TWRP backup successfully running or successfully flash Oxygen 10?
Thank you for any help!
