Phone won't boot into OS and only boots to TWRP - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

Hey guys, I decided to try and install a custom ROM on my phone, but after trying a few things, my phone now won't boot into anything but TWRP. Here's exactly what I did in chronological order:
1. Flashed official TWRP
2. Tried to install Pixel Experience by *only* flashing the .zip - it was extremely buggy, laggy, and just straight-up unusable
3. Used the "format" option from within TWRP > Wipe
4. Tried installing Pixel Experience (had to use it on an external USB) - appeared to install fine but it won't boot into it, just reboots into TWRP
5. Tried Pixel Experience "Plus", crDroid, Lineage OS, and stock ROM, all had the same result as PE in step 4
6. Tried using blu_spark TWRP, same result as step 4
I have absolutely no idea what to do or how to fix this. Can somebody help me? Thanks!

2 things.
First flash the latest FW that is needed for the custom ROM as per their thread.
Then format data and flash the ROM you need.
Use CodeowrkX Forced Encryption recovery.
Let me know if it works..

Hi. i tried that recovery too but it didnt work. i am also facing same issue. no matter what rom i flash , when i reboot into system it starts TWRP recovery. also i had working nandroid backup , but even after restoring it, no luck.. its my first time with oneplus , previously i used to have xiaomi rn5pro an i have never faced any flashing issue. oneplus 5 suppose to be easy while handling flashing and stuff but seems like it is too much complicated..

Do something. Just flash any PIE Full Stock ROM, and then work your through over to Custom ROM.

Yes. 9.0.11 or 9.0.10
9.0.10: https://otafsg1.h2os.com/patch/amaz...ygen_23_OTA_053_all_1912311131_3aeac3fbd2.zip

Or else use the MSM Tool to install. After any install wait for 10 minutes before trying. Sometimes stock OOS takes 10 minutes for uptime.

So flashing above from TWRP worked but Package installer not working, it keeps crashing when i try to install an app.
i did try msmtool to flash stock rom , but it always gets stuck at pram preprocessing... any solution.?!

You didnt FORMAT data and reboot. Do that and then post reboot, do another format/wipe from stock recovery. You will loose data, I reiterate.

For the param issue, seems your driver is causing issues, or else the unbrick rom file is broken/corrupt.

Going back to stock OOS -> stock recovery?

Hello there ^^
I want to completely revert my OnePlus 5 to stock. I found some guides that could help me through this, but I have one problem/question:
Where can I download the latest Stock recovery (that works with Treble)? I've searched through some threads and although some users post download links, their posts are often quite old and thus the download also seems outdated.
Do I actually need to flash the latest version of the stock OOS recovery? Or is it sufficient to install just any version and then flash the stock OOS zip file?
Anf if I need the latest one, can someone provide me with a download link or tell me where I can find it?
Thank you so much!

Direct link to download the latest stock OnePlus 5 recovery: https://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/recovery.img (also available on the OnePlus 5 Software Upgrade page on the OnePlus website here)
Also, in case you need it, you can download the complete zip of any version of OxygenOS version from this post.
It worked, I'm back to stock now.
Thanks!^^
Hi
Thanks for the post Shadowstep.
The OOS zip files that is on your ports, can I just use TWRP? Or does it basically wipe out everything and does a complete install, or does it just use TWRP, and do a system/data/cache wipe and I can use nandroid restore if it doesn't work? I have been looking for just a flashable image of OOs 8.1
Regards

Yes, you can flash the complete zip via TWRP and it'll install just fine. For a clean install, I suggest you boot to TWRP, wipe all the partitions (except internal storage), including system, vendor, cache, dalvik-cache and data. Once done, flash the full OOS zip and you will have a fresh, clean install of stock OOS with encryption.

I think we have to download google apps from the mi store and change permissions for it to work.
Can someone send Bigota link for 8.11.27 OTA? Thanks

try it and if didnt boot here are my steps if i remember correctly :
-flash latest global developer fastboot rom with mi flash (flash all , be careful with locking bootloader accidentally )
-wait until first boot before phone setup and don't go through it
-reboot to fastboot mode and flash nijel twrp
-reboot directly to recovery
-wipe->factory reset
-flash 8.11.26 pie
-reboot system
Exatly as for me. Flashed with nigel TWRP, with format data before. Few issues but CN firmware... Google must be installed.
ok will do that now and report
i flashed latest global then tried to flash with that recovery but nothing.
i am now going to flash china dev latest and try again
---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------
so to be clear
i am gonna flash dev global 8.11.23 via fastboot
then wait for it to get to 1st set up screen but not go through the setup process
will then flash that twrp you mentioned via fastboot
and flash the rom after factory reset

i did exactly what you said again just to be sure
and it booted up with no problem
- mi flash->global 8.11.23 -> clean all
- first boot until welcome screen
- power off-> volume down+power -> fastboot and run "fastboot flash recovery nijeltwrp.img"
- volume up+power to boot to recovery
(so far if decryption goes well twrp shuold not request decryption password and you could mount data and see internal storage contents in /sdcard with no problem in twrp file manager)
- wipe->factory reset
- install pie zip rom 8.11.26
- wipe dalvik+cache
- reboot system
it took about 4 or 5 minutes for me to boot
If I've gone straight from the latest stock China ROM to xiaomi.eu 10.0.0.6.0 and have since flashed the latest nijel TWRP - which is all working fine.
Can I simply flash to this pie release or do I need to have previously flashed one of the developer ROMs?
Guys, quick conformation, please as I hear conflicting reports about MIUI Pie and my TWRP...
Please, from experience, decryption works, right? How about formatting data with TWRP and boot to Pie? Is MIUI Pie able to encrypt fresh data partition? And if yes is TWRP able to decrypt it again?
Thank you, feedback is really appreciated so I know what needs to be done for full Pie compatibility!!!

first thanks again for your great work on this recovery
decryption was good with oreo 8.11.15 china rom but right after pie rom boots and rebooting to recovery, decryption fails
from there rebooting to recovery again doesn't change anything ... recovery asks for decryption password every time.
and cuz data partition is not mounted so recovery log will not be saved to internal memory to attach it here
after formatting data miui boots successfully and encrypts data again.setting up the phone and rebooting to recovery ... but same thing happens and decryption fails.

Problems updating from 5.1.7 to 9

Hi,
I have a rooted OP5, running 5.1.7 and TWRP. I used Oxygen Updater to download the new android 9 ROM. I tried to install via TWRP, but got an error about zip compatability & a treble problem. I found a thread stating that I needed a newer TWRP to fix the treble problem, so I installed TWRP_3.2.3-Pie_siankatabg_OP5 , which said it had Pie support, from here:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903996029
That worked fine, but when I tried to flash the 9 ROM, I got still got the same error. Another post said to remove compatibility.zip from the ROM zip. I did that, and it now installed, but it wouldn't boot. Re-flashing 5.1.7 booted fine. I tried another TWRP - twrp-3.2.3-0-20181227-codeworkx-nocompatcheck-cheeseburger from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-oxygenos-5-0-t3725723
That installs, and boots to system, but won't boot to recovery, so I can't install the 9 ROM.
Any ideas where I go from here to upgrade to 9?
Thanks!

Hi, I got Pie to install with TWRP_3.2.3-Pie_siankatabg_OP5 on my device.
Go to this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78523940&postcount=13
And follow my post on the part where it says:
" Notes for the Pie update: "
Let us know if those steps work for you. The firmware is linked to on there, pre-modified. Try flashing that pre-modified zip and see if your device boots.

It sounds like you did not follow the detailed flashing instructions in the first post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003
Is your device storage encrypted or decrypted? Have you flashed magisk? Have you used an older magisk(your end link leads to my post where I mention that)? Have you downloaded the rom file without compatibility.zip or did you removed it on your own?

Thanks for the links both, but still no go. I was on Magisck 17.1, uninstalled Magisk with the latest uninstaller, flashed the ROM with compatability.zip already removed. Same result as before - I get the oneplus logo, then it just reboots instead of starting the system. I've only wiped cache & dalvik, I don't really want to wipe more than that if I can help it - it is worth trying a system/vendor/data wipe? I recovered by flashing back to 5.1.7 (also updated to Magisk 18 while I was at it).
Any more ideas? One thing I find a little weird is that I'm on the @siankatabg TWRP, when I tried either the bluespark & codeworx TWPR, I couldn't get into recovery with either, I just got a blank screen with a LED staying on light blue. Only the siankatabg recovery works. Surely any of them should work? Does this point to a problem?
I'm not sure what you mean by encrypted or not - I get messages about unencrypting when going into recovery, which I assume means I am encrypted?
THanks!

Maybe try backing your device up, and then locking the bootloader. Try updating with stock recovery on a locked bootloader. If that works, you can then unlock the bootloader and copy your data back

Please use an older recovery like twrp-3.2.3-0-20181031-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img the actual pie recoveries require pie firmware(mentioned in last post of blue spark thread for example).

OK, I understand now - if I use an older TWRP, or the siankatabg version, it works fine. I can then flash the Pie ROM, however it still won't boot - I get the oneplus logo, then it just reboots. However having done the Pie flash, I can then flash the more recent TWRPs (codeworx or Bluespark), and can now get into recovery fine. However Pie still won't boot - I've even tried re-flashing the Pie ROM from within the newer TWRPs, but the result is the same - it gets to the oneplus logo, then reboots. At this stage I guess wiping system/vendor/data is the only way forwards?
*Edit* - OK, so wiping everything fixed the issue, I'm now on Pie. Flashing Magisk didn't work when flashing the ROM, but I'll try again once it's finished downloading all my apps etc.

Mi 9T Hard Brick After MIUI11 Test

I seem to have hard bricked my 9T after flashing the MIUI 11 rom from xiaomi.eu. I think culprit is a totally botched/corrupted boot loader and I have no idea how it happened. I've tried reflashing back to stock through stock image .bat files, but no dice. It flashed everything but the device still refuses to boot past the MI screen. If I try to boot into TWRP, my device gets stuck at the TWRP splash screen, no matter which version it is. Does anyone know what I can do or try at this point? Thanks.
So do I, first time I successfully instal first beta v25 miui 11, and than when the v26 comes, stupidly, i flash it from twrp, it tells me that i succeed installing that zip, and than i wipe art and cache and reboot system, but what next i know, my phone brick, i can not instal anyrom, from mi flash tool, or from anywhere. I did everything and still can not fix the problem.
Anyway, you still can enterin TWRP UI, after waiting about 10 to 30 minutes, because after intalling that rom, automatically your data format change from ext4 to f2fs, and twrp will need a lot of time to read your disk.
But, even after doing anything in twrp, still can not make my phone successfully boot into system.
And theres moun I/O error everytime i tried to wipe everything, or fix disk, or change disk format. Everything... and i just dont know what to do anymore.
So may be you can wait patiently until you can entering twrp ui, and please lemme know if you know how to fix this problem

I seem to have hard bricked my 9T after flashing the MIUI 11 rom from xiaomi.eu. I think culprit is a totally botched/corrupted boot loader and I have no idea how it happened. I've tried reflashing back to stock through stock image .bat files, but no dice. It flashed everything but the device still refuses to boot past the MI screen. If I try to boot into TWRP, my device gets stuck at the TWRP splash screen, no matter which version it is. Does anyone know what I can do or try at this point? Thanks.

Just the exact same problem as mine. If you know anything about how to solve this problem, please tell us.
I had the same problem with a miui 10 weekly beta but unfortunately I wasn't able to fix it but lucky me my phone was still in a return period so I returned it back to Amazon and got my money back since then I have always stayed away from beta ROMs . I tried everything but it wasn't booting pass the mi logo as you said

Still no result.

This LR. TEAM is twrp cn version right? And in fact, this version hardly booting to twrp ui version after this problem, easier to entering twrp ui with the ugly themed greek version

Can you list your steps to fix this? My data and cache partitions are 0kb and i get i/o errors too.
I have persist problems after installing muiu 11 over the los16.
Thinking about relock it and sens it back to aliexpress seller.
@mvha just go into fastboot mode, and flash persist.img from stock fastboot rom,
With command : fastboot flash persist persist.img
Thats all

This makes sense as I remember trying to boot into stock recovery early in the morning. I woke up and it finally booted, but the recovery was in Chinese. I will give 4PDA TWRP about an hour and see what I can do. Thanks.

OnePlus 6t Wifi Issue on custom roms

Okay so I've tried Pixel experience, lineage os , omni rom treskmod and couple of other custom android 10 roms, all stable and official and also updated ones, the wifi just simply doesn't work, wifi hotspot won't turn on either. I've tried every solution on the internet. I've even factory reset my phone using msm download tool and no luck(did this countless times).
I'm back in OOS 10.3.2 and there's no issue apparently.
At one point , i flashed a custom rom and the wifi didn't work, so I flashed OOS in the two slots and checked , the wifi works in OOS apparently, and never in custom roms.
Has anyone got this issue before and knows a solution?
How is your installation procedure?

I flash OOS and twrp on both slots, reboot recovery,
And then flash the rom and twrp, reboot recovery,then format data and factory reset, reboot recovery, if needed for some gapps, then reboot system

That's a lot of unnecessary steps. OOS on both slots, reboot to bootloader, boot twrp, format data and flash the custom rom, reboot bootloader, boot twrp and flash gapps, don't install twrp permanently if you are not going to install Magisk.

I need magisk too, I usually permanently install twrp
Also you think it's the way I'm installing at fault here? Or the rom? Or is it something wrong with my device?

This.
I always install roms with the procedure i said above and have never had any problems.

Alright so got one doubt, I used OOS 10.3.2 to flash, should it be oos 10.0 only?
Thought that didn't make a difference.
I am also facing the same issue. Were you able to find any solution ?
So I found out treskmod omni rom and Paranoid android quartz 2 work perfectly , try those out, it still doesn't solve the problem in the other roms though. So not exactly a solution.
