[HELP]xXx No Limits to Android Pie - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

Hello everyone, could anyone help me to migrate from ROM xXx to Android 9?
I am currently using the ROM xXx but when trying to switch to another ROM I have problems with bootloop.
I tried following the procedures outlined in the last comments of the original thread but did not succeed, could anyone help me with a step by step to get out of the ROM and go to version 9 of android?
Here is some information that may be helpful in finding a possible solution:
Actually ROM: xXx No Limits 4.3 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...xxx-nolimits-1-1-speed-ram-optimized-t3627121)
New ROM:OxygenOS 9.0.1 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003)
Device is decrypted
Bootloader Unlocked
TRWP 3.2.1-X blu_spark v8.61
In some attempts to install ROM the TWRP returned me error regarding vendor partition.
Thanks to anyone who can help me.

You'll need to be on your PC for this. Make sure you backup anything you want to keep from Internal Storage:
OOS:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3628190
1) Wipe and Format everything in TWRP.
2) Move OOS 5.1.3 (Full Zip) to Internal Storage
3) Install 5.1.3 and nothing else (You will lose TWRP, but don't worry abut that now)
4) OTA up to 5.1.7
5) If you don't get offered OTA to 9.0.1 use full zip from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003
6) Once on OOS 9.0.1 you can use Fastboot to flash latest Codeworkx TWRP: https://sourceforge.net/projects/cheeseburgerdumplings/files/16.0/cheeseburger/recovery/
If you want to install a custom ROM after that:
7) Wipe and Format
8) Install Pie ROM/Gapps etc

Thx for Help dude, but i have a problem.
I backed up my stuff and joined TWRP, after joining TWRP I went to WIPE> Format Data.
After that I passed the file from ROM 5.1.3 to the internal memory of the device and went to install and started the procedure, but doing so returned an error and I would like you to help me if it were possible.
The following message was displayed:
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_036_5.1.3.zip'
Can you help me?

ok, i will re-download the file and try the installation again.

I downloaded it again and tried the installation but again I got the same error when trying to install.
I am doing the download again but this time I will try to download without using download managers, in the previous attempts I used the Internet Download Manager (IDM) to do the downloads, do you recommend some download manager or browser?
I will also download via mobile data on the 4G network.

I never use or recommend download managers cause of this
You can use Opera mobile, Firefox etc. But with download managers there are more issues(you'll find a lot on xda).

Okay, thanks, I'll try to download again and I'll come back with the result soon

I downloaded the file from ROM 5.1.3 on the phone and again it returned the same error, I will try one more time.
Please give me your opinion, is there any version of TWRP that is recommended for installation? is it not the version I'm using that might not be reading the file?
Anything else, do I need to install 5.1.3 exactly or can I get a version prior to it?
There's something wrong in the middle of it, but let's keep trying.

Are you on xXx No Limits 4.3 (Nougat - 4.5.14) or xXx No Limits 4.3 Magisk Rom?
If you are talking about the Magisk Rom then we need to know what OOS version you are on to be able to give you the right advise.

Maybe you can try with this recovery: twrp-3.2.3-0-20181031-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img
And see if it works.
Otherwise I would recommend to download OxygenOS 5.1.4 and try to flash that.

I'm currently in version 4.3 Magisk, I think this can make it easier to find a possible output or end up making it more difficult.

4.3 xXx magisk means you're running a stock oxygenOS where xXx 4.3 mod is running. Do you remember which oxygenOS version it was? 5.1.4 5.1.7 or whatever?

It could make things easier. If your phone still boots into OOS, go into Setting and scroll to the very bottom and select About Phone. Look at what Oxygen OS you are running. What you need to do is get that version all the way up to 5.1.7. Once you are there, you can just flash 9.0.2.

This is the problem, I can not get out of the ROM No Limits to go to another ROM, I've tried some suggestions but still nothing worked, I'm counting on the patience of the members here of the forum to help me with this problem, but I believe that will soon be resolved and thank you all for the help.

Ok, so you're on a patched xXx rom not stock rom with xXx mod. Weird setup
Anyway, did 5.1.4 sucessfully flash without error 7?

I have not tried to install 5.1.4 yet, I was trying to 5.1.3 as it was suggested, I will download version 5.1.4 that is in this repository (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3628190), and I will try to make the installation clean, ie format all the data, move the ZIP into the internal memory and try to see if it works.
I will try to clarify about the patch in case I try to reinstall ROM No Limits I need to install the full version which is 12.0 and patch 4.3 is just an update patch for the latest version and I can also go back to version 12.0.
Version 5.1.4 I have not yet tested if I can install it without errors, I will do it soon and I will come back with the result.

I think 5.1.4 should do the trick. I would highly recommend you wipe everything including systems, internal and data. This will pretty much give you a blank phone. Connect the phone to your computer and copy over 5.1.4 to the internal storage through TWRP, it should be the only file you see in your sdcard. Flash it and you should be good.

Okay, I'll do the test and I'll come back soon with the result, I'll change the version of TWRP too, this may be the problem.

Bringing the result of a few more tests, I first changed the recovery version, I went to the twrp-3.2.3-0-20181031-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img as suggested and after that I formatted all the data and started to appear a new one Error that was Failed to mount '/ vendor' (Invalid argument), I tried to install the 5.1.3 ROM and also to 5.1.4, which it was indicating was installing but at the end of the installation again I returned the error Failed to mount '/ vendor '(Invalid argument).
After that I reinstalled ROM No Limits 12.0 v. 5.1.3.
Does anyone know how to solve this new error?

Error when installing new rom

So Ive been trying to install multiple different pie roms and each one gives me error 7 during the install with twrp.
Ive updated twrp to the newest 3.2.3, I read that could be the issue.
I was using nolimits rom but due to no future updates I wanted to try something different.
Im sure its something simple, but I cannot seem to find any resources.
I even tried deleting the assert lines in the rom zip, still same error.
Im at a complete loss.
I just put nolimits back on it so I at least have a working phone.
Any info is appreciated

Please post your question only once https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/updating-to-beta-22-t3879346/post78437012
Please answer some questions:
Which twrp (file name)?
Which xXx rom(file name)?
Decrypted or encrypted storage?
Which rom do you want to install (exact steps)?
Sorry for the double post, Ive been super frustrated with it.
Right now im running twrp 3.2.3.0 from the twrp website, I have tried codeworkx with no change.
I was trying multiple different roms, but for the sake of troubleshooting I was trying PixelExperience Cheeseburger 9.0
Most of the installs attempted have been through twrp so Im guessing decrypted.
And I was following the steps on the roms thread.
Factory wipe, delvik and data, then attempt the install.

Decrypted or encrypted storage? Which rom do you want to install now? Please use latest codeworkx recovery.
Which xXx rom exactly you're coming from(file name)?
Ok, I am coming from xXx_NoLimits_12.0_OP5_Oxygen_5.1.3_full and Id love to install OxygenOS Open Beta 22 Full
I can certainly install the codeworkx recovery if needed.
How can I tell if I am encrypted or not? Ive always just left things as default
Btw thanks for your help

Just follow instructions in first post for clean installation, make sure you made backups: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-beta-1-android-oreo-t3710003
Encryption means, you cannot access your internal storage without entering a pin when starting twrp or accessing the devices memory from outside.
So Ive followed the new install instructions from start to finish, and I cannot get past the OS flash.
Continuing to receive error 7.
Also receiving cannot mount /vendor as well

For the error 7 make sure you downloaded the correct files, without download issues(maybe use checksum). have you removed compatibility.zip from the OB22 rom zip with either 7zip or total commander?
For vendor partition error try to mount vendor partition within twrp manually, if there's no checkbox, you need to flash what I suggested you here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/updating-to-beta-22-t3879346/post78437012
Earlier open betas created this vendor partion. You can try with OB13.
I have same problem, except I tried to fix it by flashing OB19 firmware and radio zip. Now when I boot the recovery I don't get "no vendor partition" and the bootloader unlocked error, but when I try to flash ANY rom (stable 5.1.4 /open beta 19 / PIE ), the system and vendor partitions would patcg unconditionally, but I get no OS error and the device reboots to recovery. Please help.
Ps: I have magisk and TWRP 3.2.3, and tried both clean flashing and dirty flashing. the unlocked bootloader error changed even after restoring the NAND backup. I had already removed the compatibility zip from the Pie zip. I tried blu spark and codeworx versions of twrp 3.2.3

Same as my answer above. Oneplus published every open beta as an update(even when it's a full rom) of the previous version hence when your last open beta was 10 and you want 22 you missed several in between(this was an example!).
FINALLY got it all to work.
Apparently I had issues with the firmware, had to go back and install codeworx 15.1 firmware, after that it seems to be good to go.
THANK YOU Strongst.

How did you fix it? Can you explain what you mean by codeworx firmware? Could you provide link for file or guide?
This is the firmware from Codeworkx

You might have to go to an older version of twrp as well, just to get this installed.

Which twrp version and developer? And after this can I flash Pie directly or should I install something before it? Did you dirty flash or did you use clean install? Sorry for too many questions but I tried it many times and am frustrated that it didn't work, but you fixing it gives me hope.

What exactly means "failed"? Which error? Screenshot maybe? And from which oxygenOS you tried to update?
Also you need to flash magisk after flashing oxygenOS to make twrp sticky. Also a format of internal storage may be necessary to solve a boot problem.
The Unlocked Bootloader Warning screen is normal cause it's a warning when you unlock your bootloader, if it changed, it's due to changes made by oneplus some time ago, they changed it.
I was able to flash pie directly after updating the firmware.
twrp 3.2.3 should work

By failed I mean that I would wipe the system partition for clean flash, install the ROM zip, which would run but say patching system and vendor partitions unconditionally, then when I want to reboot it says warning no OS. Continuing to reboot gets me automatically back to recovery.

Update to OxygenOS 9.0.0

Hello,
I have a rooted Oneplus 5 (Android 8.1, OxygenOS 5.1.7) and I'm trying to update it to get the newest version of Oxygen OS.

After looking around on the internet, I found that it is because my TWRP is outdated.
I tried to download newer versions from the Official TWRP App but when I go to the recovery, I only get a black screen.
I reinstalled this version 3.2.3 : https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-oxygenos-5-0-t3725723 but still can't manage to update OxygenOS.

Hello, I can't recommend any guide on outside of xda cause they're not consistent...
Just follow this guide in the first post https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003 would help you.
You can't flash twrp 3.3.1 cause you need newer firmware, pie firmware.
Please answer all the questions:
What is you current twrp recovery (file name)?
What is your current Rom(file name)?
What is your magisk version?
Is your storage encryped or decrypted?
Hello and thanks for your answer.
My current TWRP is twrp-3.2.3-0-20180822-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img
I am not sure about my ROM's file name
My Magisk version is 19.3 (19300) - Magisk Manager version is 7.3.4 (235) : it says everything's up to date
I think my storage is encrypted since it asks for my password when I start TWRP
[Clean Flash] For Users with an Unlocked Bootloader and TWRP Recovery:
Download the full ROM zip from the downloads section above
Transfer the zip to the root of your device's internal storage
Only needed if you are coming from Oreo and use a TWRP that does not ignore the compatibility.zip check: Remove the compatibility.zip from the downloaded full ROM zip with either MiXplorer or Total Commander (not with any other tool!) on your device itself
Reboot to TWRP recovery (make sure you're using an Oreo TWRP if you're on Oreo Firmware/ROM or Pie TWRP if you're on Pie Firmware/ROM) and take a nandroid backup of your existing ROM
Flash Magisk Uninstaller (recommended)
From the TWRP menu, Wipe > Advanced wipe > Select dalvik-cache, cache, system, vendor and data> Swipe to wipe
From the TWRP menu, Install > Select full ROM zip (modified one with compatibility.zip removed, in case you're on Oreo or unmodified one, in case you're on Pie) > Swipe to flash
Flash the latest stable Magisk in case you want to root
From the TWRP menu, Wipe > Advanced wipe > Select dalvik-cache and cache > Swipe to wipe
Optional: If you wish to decrypt, format data via TWRP (please note that wiping the data partition, which we did in the 5th step above, is not the same as formatting it) and after that flash xXx No Verity 4.0.zip from here
Reboot
Note: First boot may take some time, so please be patient and wait for it to boot.

If I understand correctly from the link you sent me, TWRP doesn't ignore the compatibility.zip check so in order to install OxygenOS 9.0.8 I need to delete this part of the ZIP first ?
Thanks

Hello and thanks for your answer.
My current TWRP is twrp-3.2.3-0-20180822-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img
I am not sure about my ROM's file name
My Magisk version is 19.3 (19300) - Magisk Manager version is 7.3.4 (235) : it says everything's up to date
I think my storage is encrypted since it asks for my password when I start TWRP

Exactly, delete the compatibility.zip from 9.0.8 rom file and flash it with your current twrp, exactly like in the linked guide for update, not clean flash if you have already a rom above OxygenOS 5.1.4, so please check your OxygenOS version(settings, about).

If you have TWRP, move the OTA file to the PC, open it with 7zip (NOT WinRAR) and delete the compatibility.zip. Then copy it again to the phone, flash and before rebooting flash a Pie TWRP

Clean flash wipes system and data, so no os, data and settings.

Thanks I'll do that. Can I go for the newest version directly or do I have to flash them one by one untill the most recent one ?

I re-did all the process and managed to update my OS on the second try.
Now I have an issue trying to put TWRP and Magisk back : I'm following this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3624877 but I can't seem to be able to put TWRP.
When my phone is on and connected to the computer,
Code:
adb devices
does see the phone but then when I go into the bootloader and I type
Code:
fastboot devices
nothing happens. When I go for
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
it just tells me it's waiting for any device.
I've tried deleting and reinstalling the drivers with the too provided in the thread, but still doesn't work.
Yes because to use fastboot you have to be in fastboot mode...

I just checked on Youtube, this is the screen I am on : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xlmZXgkUrQ
So as I said, once I am on this screen where I can select between START/POWER OFF/RECOVERY MODE/RESTART BOOTLOADER and I type the "fastboot device" command, nothing comes up.
Is this screen not the "Fastboot mode" ?

Yes this is fastboot sorry maybe I didn't understand. If you are able to backup your data, use Unbrick tool to update your device

I was hoping I could flash TWRP and Magisk without wiping my data
It's weird that when it's on I can see it with "adb devices" and Windows sees it's a Oneplus, but when it's in fastboot I can't with "adb fastboot" and Windows detects an USB but can't say what it is.
I feel its a driver issue but can't figure it out

That's such a strange bug. If you are in fastboot, it's impossible for your PC to recognize it in ADB mode. Try with another computer or use unbrick tool to clean your phone (it installs Oxy 9.0.8)
Well I managed to see the fastboot thanks to the EOM cable but I think I bricked my phone

OnePlus5 - HELP! - TWRP Recovery: Invalid Zip File Format

Hi!
I'm trying to install an update of OxygenOS. I wanted to install this with a .zip folder via my TWRP custom recovery (TWRP 3.2.3-0). However, I'm still having an issue with every ROM that I'm trying to install: "Invalid zip file format!", following by: " Error installing zip file 'OxygenOS.zip' ".
I precise that I have this issue with every .zip ROM that I'm trying to install...
I actually don't have any ROM installed on my OP5, so I can't boot right now.
I'm only fighting with my TWRP recovery and my Bootloader !
The Android version I had before that was Android 7.1.1( old boy...)
I'd be pleased if someone could help me solving this issue...
Have a nice day & Thx !

I'm now having : "Updater process ended with ERROR: 4"
I also had ERRO 7 from TWRP, but I tried everything, like changing a part of the code of one script of the ROM, but nothing is working.

Want to upgrade my OP5 from Oxygen 4.5.10 , Android 7.1.1 to the newest..

Hello

I have no idea if its even possible to do this if i need other updates first ect.
Kinda rookies now haha..
Iv'e searched forum for help dunno if ive searched wrong or not, but couldnt find any help.
You have to install version 5.1.4 based on Oreo 8.1.0 and boot up the phone to enable vendor partition. Then you will be able to flash the latest Pie OS. If you want a faster way, you can use the 9.0.9 EDL package, but you will lose all data
Well i had a friend that said i could just install 9.0.9 firmware, well now ive ended up witj a phone which i cant enter.. Can still open fastmode and twrp but i cant add files on phone.. Any ideas on how to fix this mess?

So they changed the partition layout with Oreo? I am asking because I currently have the exact same problem.
Currently stucking on 7.1.1 with the same errormessage. I will try to upgrade to Oreo first and then move over to Pie. Thanks.

Yes, with the version 5.1.5 Project Treble was adopted and it requires a new vendor partition. That partition was created with 5.1.4, so if you are on a version lower than 5.1.4 you will need to install that version, boot once (the repartitioning is made during Android boot, not during the install) and then you will be able to upgrade to latest Pie version.
If you want to upgrade in one step, you can use EDL tool, but you lose all your data. Anyway, I advice you to do so because a format is a good operation when upgrading the Android version

I assume I can then also move directly to 9.0.xx, right? Sorry, I forgot that the OP5 got Android 10!

You can install the latest ROM ONLY if you are on a version that is 5.1.4 or newer. If you are on an older version, you have to first upgrade to 5.1.4 and then the newer version (Android 10 will be out in the next months)
Feedback: Works great. Moved to that version, rebooted once, upgraded directly to latest OOS (9.xx whatev) with success. Thanks for all your support & comments!

You're welcome!

recovery the bricked phone, but how can I upgrade to android 9?

just use MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe to recovery my op5 to oos, but the version is quite low as Android 7.1.1.
checked the system update, it told me up to date. which is of course not true.
tried to clean the cache of google framework service and oneplus framework service, still nothing in updating.
tried installed oxygen updater, and download 3 update zip from 7.1.4, 8, last version of 8, but each time I use local install in system uploading, then reboot to recovery, it shows me "failed". none of version works.
I even tried to install in recovery, wipe cache and data or just wipe data, then install from internal disk, none of the file works, even don't have any popup fail notice, just go back to file chooser interface.
I can still go back to system by switch off and on again.
How can I upgrade the old version of android in my oneplus 5?
original:
used use lineages os with Twrp, and I would like to flash to original oxygen.
download full rom zip in https://www.oneplus.com/uk/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=PM1574156143164
copied to phone disk
went to twrp
wipe Dalvik, System, Data, and Cache
then tried to install the full rom zip, but met "no Digest File found" error
found it must be twrp old, so I download new one in https://dl.twrp.me/cheeseburger_dumpling/twrp-3.4.0-0-cheeseburger_dumpling.img.html
copy to phone and flash it to recovery.
select "reboot to recovery"
then problem coming: I can only see the oneplus logo with powered by Android. it won't go any further.
I am not sure any thing wrong during my processing, but maybe 2 things:
1, I wiped the system
2, I didn't clean the screen lock pin before I flash
so, my question here is, if possible I can flash the original oxygen os in this situation?
if positive, could you please give me a step by step instruction?
by the way, the zip rom I download from oneplus site isn't have the "flash-all" script.
please please help me .

So I screwed up something so using the MsmDownloadTool tool I wanted to use it by uploading everything from scratch. I fell into the Chinese H2Os system. I searched again and I already have the original ColorOS based on Android 9. But I can't update it to 10. What do I have to do? Oh .... the bootloader is unlocked ...

if you are directly flash to coloros android 9 from lower version other than android 8, it might be the problem you won't got the update in the system. It might be have issue in wifi or gps as well, which I bet you didn't well test yet.
that's all about the system partitions messed up. regarding my understanding.
solution is simple, but time consuming:
you have to flash an original rom using msmdownloadtool, make sure that rom will have update notification in the system menu of settings. then upgrade from there one level up each time, till to the android 10. (chinese version do have 10 available)
than, you can download oxygen os android 10 to flash on the coloros android 10 (hydrogen os android 10) you just done the upgrade, don't forget wipe data/cache before flashing.
hope that's helps.
