Hi, All . . .
I believe it would be appropriate to label me as an intermediate-to-advanced newbie. That is, I'm not clueless, but there are lots of blind spots in my knowledge.
I just bought a 6P and while I've been waiting for my SIM card to arrive, I've gone ahead and rooted, installed TWRP 3.0.3-0, and made a few customizations here and there. One thing I don't understand is the significance of the vendor image now. I'm coming from a 6 where that wasn't an issue. Also, in the rooting instructions it indicates that one should "find the correct vendor image," without really indicating how one can go about learning which one is "right." In the end, I took the latest one I could find, because my phone did an OTA update and I simply reasoned that I should match latest with latest.
In any case, I want to install MultiROM and I keep running into this problem:
The MultiROM version of TWRP doesn't load. It hangs on the splash screen. The version it uses is 3.0.2-0, so I suspected it was an issue with that. I flashed the TWRP-only recovery version 3.0.2-0 after having no luck, and it wouldn't load beyond the splash screen, either. Finally, I re-flashed the stock system recovery and tried flashing both the 3.0.2-0 TWRP-only recovery and the MultiROM-integrated version, both without success.
Is there something about the move from 3.0.2-0 to 3.0.3-0 that makes a rollback impossible. Is it even necessary?
Re-flashing 3.0.3-0 solved the problem of basic functionality. TWRP comes right up after I do that. But I can't get the MultiROM recovery or the 3.0.2-0 TWRP recovery to work no matter what I try.
My phone says that the vendor version is N4F26J and my "build number" is N6F26Q, and I'm running PureNexus 7.1.1. Those two numbers appear like a mismatch to me, but everything I could find indicated that the vendor version I have, being the latest, is the right one.
What am I missing? Can someone with more experience solve this puzzle, or at least lead me in a direction where I know which questions to ask on my own and can get things to start making sense again?
I appreciate your help! Thanks!

Hey there,
Regarding your TWRP 3.0.2-0/MultiRom 3.0.2-0 and TWRP 3.0.3 issues, check out post #1152 in the official TWRP 6P thread. If there is an update to MR to support Nougat encryption, you'll just have to follow the MR thread or Github for updates.
Here's a brief explainer from my guide in the Nexus 5X forums about Vendor.img:
9. After updating my ROM, I get this message on every boot: "There's an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer."
This warning signifies a mismatched vendor and system partition. The vendor partition was integrated in the system partition for previous Nexus devices but is now a separate partition that must be flashed for each Google security update. Download a factory image and update your vendor partition using fastboot so that it matches your rom's OS base. If you have a file explorer installed on your phone, you can determine which vendor.img is installed by navigating to /vendor/build.prop and clicking on the build.prop. The specific vendor installed will be a combination of six numbers and letters listed in all capitals (example: NMF26F) in the ro.vendor.build.fingerprint line.
Vendor.img is specific to each OTA and contains proprietary binaries for the phone. The phone will fail to boot if you mismatch the vendor.img with a different OS base. For instance, a 6.0 Marshmallow vendor.img will not allow your phone to boot on 7.0 Nougat.

Hope this clears things up for you!
Edit: Also, certain rom teams keep an up to date listing of vendor.img available on their websites. Usually this is detailed in the rom thread OP. Find a reliable thread and bookmark their vendor.img downloads, if not download the factory image each month and extract the img.

Your vendor image and build number do sound like they are mismatched. If you can't find the vendor image you need on XDA you can find the matching build on the Google site, download the whole factory image and unzip it and get the vendor image that way.
I believe TWRP 3.0.2-0 was buggy. I'm not familiar with Multi rom and I don't know why they would use that build. You should be using 3.0.2-3 or 3.0.3-0.
I personally wouldn't install a custom ROM before activating the phone. I know a couple people have reported in the past that they were unable to activate their phone on a custom ROM. Hopefully you won't have that issue.

MultiRom support for this device was released when Marshmallow was out. So MR33 is based on the Marshmallow branch and ships with 3.0.2. The developer just isn't ready to release support for Nougat 7.0 and couple that with the issues of TWRP 3.0.2-x. He's actively pushing commits to support Nougat.

Thanks for the input! I actually just got my card and some of the activation seems complete. (I got my voice mails and so on, but no data connection yet.) I didn't have a problem with the Nexus 6 on PureNexus, but we'll have to see how this one plays out. I'm not able to call over WiFi yet.

It might just take a while for the service to go through. Good luck.
Today I wanted to install the lineage os, but, to ensure, I installed the stock rom in my moto g4 plus.
I wiped dalvik, system, data and cache.
Then I flashed the rom and the gapps, but when I did the reboot the cell phone was in an infinite loop, but not normal, the bootanimation of the lineage appears but it never stops.
what do I do??
Sorry for the spelling mistakes, I used google translate

Thanks, can I ask what region/what device you have as well? I'm just wondering if that's the correct stock firmware for your device/region. Did you let your device update on OTA before flashing the LineageOS build? Are you able to roll back to a backup of your Marshmallow installation?
Also, there's a newer version of TWRP available: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...covery-twrp-3-0-2-r3-moto-g4-g4-plus-t3494337 Might be worth looking into installing given the TWRP version you've installed hasn't been maintained in a while. TWRP 3.0.3n2 is a good option to go for, since it's running stably for me.
Finally, though some bugs appear to have been fixed in the latest Lineage OS nightlies, might be worth using the 13/02 build (or robot_head's suggestion of the unofficial Lineage OMS ROM) to rule out any issues with the ROM, until at least we can get your phone booting again with a custom ROM.

I think that's the correct stock firmware because I already installed it before and there wasn't bugs .
The problem is I can't rool back to a backup because I can't access de TWRP or use the fastboot.
Thank you for helping me, I was able to access TWRP when my battery ran out, which interrupted the loop

Hmm, so what happens if you power off your phone by pressing the power button for 2-3 [edit: minutes] (credit: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70973812&postcount=5), as this may cause a hard reset and possibly break the bootloop?
What do you mean by fastboot not beng useable, as in your device does not show up in ADB or that you cannot boot into fastboot?
Alternatively, are you able to access the bootloader/fastboot mode by powering off, then holding down the power and volume down keys? If so, you may be able to re-flash your stock ROM as before.

I said I could not use fastboot because I was stuck on the Lineage loading screen
It was like if the boot animation was infinite, then when I tried to use the fastboot the cell phone was not recognized.
But the "loop" stopped when the battery ran out, so I was able to initialize the TWRP

So you're back into TWRP now? Okay, are you restoring your backup or re-flashing your stock ROM? I'd like to check your device can boot normally again and is up to date before trying again with the custom ROM.
By the way, I made an error in my last post - I miswrote how long you hold the power button down for, it's 2-3 minutes and should achieve the same as when your battery ran out - allowing you to boot back into TWRP.

I've re-flashed the stock rom and it's working well
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.

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.

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.

Hello All,
I picked up a OP 6T from Amazon and would like to run Lineage 16.0 and load GApps, along with a number of other apps. I have TWRP Fajita (bluespark) installed and can boot to it. I also have Lineage 16 flashed as my ROM on Slot A, to which I can also successfully boot. I have Mind the GApps .zip ARM64 version on internal storage root.
Prior to flashing Lineage, I also loaded Magisk, which is still there as an app.
In trying to load MtheGApps, I cannot get past encryption in TWRP. TWRP prompts for a password, but I have no idea what that might be. I've read (somewhere) that the password is the pin I defined for my opening screen in Lineage, which I know. That does not work. I also have fingerprint enabled and have defined a print. The pin and finger get me into lineage without any trouble.
All of this is on slot A. Slot B seems to holds an older T-Mobile ROM, which I booted at some point. Not really interested in that, so eventually, I'll want to know what to do with that slot. I'll also want to root Lineage.
Maybe I should start from scratch? ( not sure how to get back there). Any guidance greatly appreciated!
It's like that because you didn't format data. Also you can't have OOS on one slot, and an AOSP ROM on another slot.
Here's the LOS install instructions I've been posting / using for clean / first installs.
Note the part in the begining about using 9.0.17 or 10.3.1 depending on which version of LOS you are using. Don't mix Android 10 and 9. Any questions ask.
Also note when Magisk is flashed those instructions. You're close, just missed a couple steps.

OK, finally getting back to this...
I currently have LOS 16 and twrp fajita 3.2.3-2 onboard, as well as Magisk Manager (but not magisk - shows red question mark and "magisk not installed" in Magisk mgr.).
I want to go to LOS 17, load gapps and root to remove redundant apps.
First, I need to I need to get back to stock ROM before anything else, right? I've downloaded 10.0.1-OnePlus6TOxygen_34_OTA_041_all_1911142208_af338-FASTBOOT.zip
I'll also need LOS 17.X, correct? I have this: lineage-17.1-20200104_020517-UNOFFICIAL-fajita.zip
I'll need the Q version of TWRP, right? Still looking for that. Is this version of TWRP specific to the OP 6T, or specific to Android 10? Other?
I'll need the ARM64 , Android 10 version of mindthegapps (mindthegaps supports A/B architecture, right?). Still looking for that. I've found "GApps", but not "mindthegapps". There's also "bitgapps". Should I consider this?
I'll need magisk manager. magisk uninstaller and magisk, correct? I have MagiskManager-v7.5.1.apk, Magisk-v20.3.zip and Magisk-uninstaller-20200110.zip. Not sure if these are the right ones..
I think the main thing I need help with is getting back to the stock ROM. Guessing that would be OOS10. Once I get there, there are lots of instructions around on how to get to LOS 17.
Thank you!!

Your version of TWRP could be part of the problem. This is the thread for the official maintainer, use these builds of TWRP even though they say "unofficial." Q is for Android 10, Pie is for Android 9. For LOS 17, download the 3.3.1-32 versions. Remember you are booting the img files, the Q version, you use the same installer for both versions of Android.
To go to LOS 17 you need Android 10 on both slots. Doesn't matter how you get there. 10.3.1 is the latest version from OP, so there is technically a newer version than what you downloaded.
Fastboot ROM page.
You have a few options:
- You can also update using TWRP, and flashing the OTA full ZIP. Just be aware, you need to flash the OTA zip, flash the TWRP installer, reboot to recovery, flash the OTA zip again. Reboot. At this point the phone won't boot, it will just go to stock recovery, wipe data (factory reset), and it should boot up into OOS. Then boot your TWRP img, install TWRP, boot to recovery, start the LOS install I linked to above.
- Use the fastboot ROM. Again as above this will require TWRP installation, etc.
- My least favorite, the MSMTool. My opinion, is the MSMTool should always be a last resort as it locks your bootloader. You can unlocking afterwards again, but if something goes wrong, it could be a bad thing. I just always try every other option before jumping to this one.
As for Gapps, I just use OpenGapps. At this point you don't even have to mess with their test or beta folders anymore. You can just select it from their homepage, and download Android 10 gapps. OpenGapps page, the 6T is Arm64, LOS17 is Android 10, I always use Nano
As for Magisk, yes 20.3. The uninstaller you don't really need as this will essentially be a clean install. The 20.3 zip will also install the Magisk Manager app.
Hopefully that clears some things up?

Hello All,
I picked up a OP 6T from Amazon and would like to run Lineage 16.0 and load GApps, along with a number of other apps. I have TWRP Fajita (bluespark) installed and can boot to it. I also have Lineage 16 flashed as my ROM on Slot A, to which I can also successfully boot. I have Mind the GApps .zip ARM64 version on internal storage root.
Prior to flashing Lineage, I also loaded Magisk, which is still there as an app.
In trying to load MtheGApps, I cannot get past encryption in TWRP. TWRP prompts for a password, but I have no idea what that might be. I've read (somewhere) that the password is the pin I defined for my opening screen in Lineage, which I know. That does not work. I also have fingerprint enabled and have defined a print. The pin and finger get me into lineage without any trouble.
All of this is on slot A. Slot B seems to holds an older T-Mobile ROM, which I booted at some point. Not really interested in that, so eventually, I'll want to know what to do with that slot. I'll also want to root Lineage.
Maybe I should start from scratch? ( not sure how to get back there). Any guidance greatly appreciated!

It did clear some things up, thank you. However, I still end up at the Qualcomm CrashDump Screen of Death. this happens at the very end of the process, after the second load of LOS 17 and TWRP Installer, while rebooting to recovery from the TWRP .img. I'm going to list every step I take and all of the files I use. There are a couple of places where I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing, and/or the outcome of that step is not as expected.
1. Download all of files:
TWRP Q .img
TWRP Installer
OP OS 10.3.1 Fastboot ROM
lineage-17.1-20200223_133843-UNOFFICIAL-fajita.zip
First step is to flash Oxygen 10 and TWRP Recovery to both slots. I unpack the OOS Fastboot ROM zip on my laptop, boot to my 6t's bootloader and connect that to my laptop. After making sure ADB/Fastboot sees the device, I run "flash-all.bat" by clicking on it. This seems to load OOS just fine. The phone boots to OOS and I turn the phone off.
(I've done all of this several times and there are variants: I've tried becoming a developer and turning on the advanced boot options in OOS 10, but I don't think that matters, as long as I can get back to the bootloader or recovery. Let me know if that is incorrect).
At this point, your instructions say
"reboot to recovery, flash the OTA zip again."
I've tried moving the OOS fastboot zip file to my phone and flashing from TWRP, but that doesn't work. I get an error complaining of wrong format. It seems to me, a Fastboot ROM can only be flashed from adb/flashboot. Is that correct?
Therefore, I have been going back to the bootloader and re-flashing OOS 10 from adb fastboot again. After this step, contrary to your guidance above, the phone does indeed boot directly to OOS.... A loooong, what seems to be initial boot. I then turn off the phone.
I reboot to recovery again - and it is now the stock recovery - so I follow your guidance to factory reset from there. It does boot into OOS, and it is another looonnng boot. I then turn off the phone, return to the bootloader, flash the TWRP .img, install the TWRP installer and move on to the LOS 17 process linked to above.
Though I'm not sure it's necessary, I follow these steps from the beginning of he process:
Install 10.3.0 fastboot ROM again to start over, boot it once. Just to make sure everything is good.
- Reboot to fastboot.
- Boot the Q image of TWRP.
- Run the TWRP installer, reboot to recovery
Everything seems to work well, so I follow these steps, all from TWRP:
- Factory reset (This is the slider at the bottom in the wipe menu).
- Format data. (This is the button that says Format data in the wipe menu)
- Do NOT wipe cache, do not Wipe system, do NOT Wipe Dalvik / ART, do not add anything else, Just Factory Reset and Format Data. After doing those two Reboot to Recovery one more time. You must do this after formatting data.
I do all of the steps below, with no problems:
- Now transfer Lineage and TWRP to your phone, Windows / Linux should see TWRP fine as a media device when plugged in.
- Install Lineage
Just a note at this point, to highlight that this is done from TWRP, as opposed to using adb fastboot as with OOS10. This is what I've done with ROM's in the past; the fastboot ROM thing is new to me.
Next, I
- Run the TWRP Installer.
- Reboot to Recovery.
- Install Lineage (You need Lineage on both slots, so yes run it again)
- Run the TWRP Installer (yes again).
- Reboot to Recovery
This is where things go bad. In this reboot to recovery, the TWRP splash screen sits there for a long time, and then the Qualcomm CrashDump Screen of Death (QCDSoD) appears. If I hold the power button down for long time, the QCDSoD disappears and the phone reboots and starts to load LOS. Then, it switches to TWRP splash screen, and as before, end with the QCCDSoD.
I've been through this entire process maybe three times. Always the same outcome (you know what they say, about doing the same things and expecting different results...)
I did note, that on the OS Fastboot ROM page, there was some discussion of "Branded" phones, specifically T-Mobile phones. When I first got this phone, after loading TWRP, I swapped active slots. On the new, active slot, I booted the phone, and it was to a T-Mobile ROM. Not sure if that plays any part in all of this.
Appreciate your hanging with me. I'm going to rest my fingers
Is this a TMobile 6T?

After a little research, it appears that it is a T-Mobile variant: the A6013. And, well.... I guess this may be a clue...

I'm guessing this is the source of my problem. Do you agree?
My research suggests the T-Mobile variant can be converted to "Global", but I'm wondering if it may just be more efficient to return this phone to Amazon with OOS 9 or 10 on it and buy the Global variant (A6010?)

Yeap, you have a TMobile 6T. A TMobile 6T is not a Global 6T, and even a "converted" TMobile 6T is not a Global 6T. They still require special instructions at points, and do different things. The instructions above will work perfect for a Global 6T. They (TMobile 6Ts) tend to be cheaper, but tend to have some gotchas with them.

Thanks! I like the 6T, so I guess I'm gonna get a Global. I'll get back to this, when I have that phone in-hand. Will slowly chug away on my Moto G6 until then. More to come...
Oh... Should I have any trouble putting an Oxygen 9 ROM ( or 10) on both slots without TWRP, before sending it back? Guess I'll need to re-lock the bootloader too.

You could always use a T-Mobile MSM Tool ?

MSM Tools are usually my last resort as they relock the bootloader, but in this case, it's what you are after.

OK... Back this this!
This is the what I ordered to replace the T-Mobile variant I had. It arrived yesterday. Is this the "global" model, or did I again purchase the wrong phone?
This phone is a dual sim, so it is definitely different from the one I had. Model number from System Info is A6010_41_200115.
Behavior is exactly as before. First, I'm loading the Android 10 version of the OP Oxygen Rom. After the second install of the OTA as advised below...
- You can also update using TWRP, and flashing the OTA full ZIP. Just be aware, you need to flash the OTA zip, flash the TWRP installer, reboot to recovery, flash the OTA zip again. Reboot. At this point the phone won't boot, it will just go to stock recovery, wipe data (factory reset), and it should boot up into OOS. Then boot your TWRP img, install TWRP, boot to recovery, start the LOS install I linked to above.
...rather than going directly to stock recovery, the phone DOES boot to OOS. To get to recovery, I go through the minimal necessary setup steps to access the settings, so I can activate developer mode, enable advanced reboot and enable USB debug. Then I reboot to recovery (stock), perform the wipe and reset. I then reboot to Fastboot and flash the TWRP .img using adb/fastboot on my PC. I then txfr the TWRP install .zip to root and install that. All of this SEEMS to go well, but again, there's that unexpected reboot to OOS as highlighted above.
Next, I move on to the LOS 17 load.
This goes well, until I complete the second load of TWRP Installer and reboot to recovery. When I execute that step, the TWRP splash screen appears and stays there for 30-45 seconds, and then turns to the QualComm CrashDump Mode Screen.

I guess the first thing is to determine, If I have the correct phone ....

So if I get this right, you're trying to install LOS 17 on your OnePlus 6T which is running OOS 10? Also you have the international variant.

He's got the China version this time, which I believe is minus a couple LTE bands (not a deal breaker necessarily, but not ideal). Does this change his install process since it would have originally had HOS on it?

Yes, my goal is to have Lineage OS 17 (Android 10/Q) on a OnePlus 6T. Hopefully on the phone I have now, but on whatever 6T variant I need to get. I like the phone.
I tried before with a T-Mobile version of the A6013, and I could not get there. @OhioYJ offered some assistance and suggested the problem was the phone being a T-Mobile variant; that I needed a "Global" version. Therefore, I returned that phone and purchased an "International" A6010_41_200115. Is this the Global variant?
I've followed the processes detailed above on both phones and wound up at exactly the same place: The QUALCOMM CrashDump Mode screen. This happens after the second install of TWRP, when I reboot to Recovery.
In both cases, the phones came with OOS 9, and I'm updating to OOS10 via the Fastboot ROM before proceeding to LOS 17.
Is it possible to get to LOS 17 on the phone I have now?
Thanks!!!

This would be the global variant, wouldn't it? An A6013 with both GSM and CDMA...?
Mine is an A6013, I checked the phone and original box. I bought mine straight from OnePlus. TMobile ones will only have a single IMEI. The "Real" 6T will be dual sim and have two separate, unique IMEI numbers.

Do this. Download the latest OOS 10.3.2 from OnePlus's Website. As well as latest Unofficial TWRP Image and Installer. Grab the Q Image, not the Pie one. The latest TWRP version as of now is 3.3.1-32. Now Boot to TWRP. Flash the OOS ZIP File and then TWRP Installer. Reboot to Recovery and again flash the OOS ZIP and TWRP Installer. Once that's done, you can once again Reboot to Recovery. Now, flash the Latest LineageOS 17.1 ZIP file and TWRP Installer. Reboot to Recovery one last time and flash Gapps. After that Format Data and Reboot System. You should now hopefully boot into Android.

@OhioYJ
I did as you suggested. As with my first phone (a T-Mobile variant), when I perform the reboot to recovery after flashing LOS 17 and TWRP, the TWRP intro screen appears for a long time ( 30 seconds + ). When it finally disappears, the Qual. Crash Dump Screen appears. By holding the power button for about 10 seconds, the phone reboots to LOS. After booting, I can navigate within LOS, but a warning flashes for a few milliseconds, about every ten seconds. I was able to capture a screenshot of the warning from the video I just linked to:
This continues to occur: if I try to reboot to recovery, the TWRP screen appears, lingers and then changes to the Qual Crash Dump screen. At this point, when I hold the power button for about 10 seconds, the phone boots to LOS. When LOS is running, the warning continues to appear at regular intervals.
Thinking I may just go for another phone, preferably one that supports GSM and CDMA, but at least a US, non-T-mobile phone with all of the GSM Bands. They are a little pricey though.
Happy to try other things with this phone though, if it might help further understanding of these phones.
Looking for w Breakthrough...

Gentleman,
I hope this update finds you and your loved ones safe, in this scary time.
I am still trying to get LOS 17 on my OP 6T, and I Keep ending up at the same place.: Qualcomm CrashDump Screen. l'm using the fastboot ROM's, and using those does not completely align with this part of OhioYJ's instructions:
- You can also update using TWRP, and flashing the OTA full ZIP. Just be aware, you need to flash the OTA zip, flash the TWRP installer, reboot to recovery, flash the OTA zip again. Reboot. At this point the phone won't boot, it will just go to stock recovery, wipe data (factory reset), and it should boot up into OOS. Then boot your TWRP img, install TWRP, boot to recovery, start the LOS install I linked to above.
OhioYJ mentions "flashing the OTA Full .zip". The Fastboot ROM's have "OTA" in their labels and they are .zip files, but they will not flash in TWRP. They error out. They do run - and flash - from the bootloader, and this is what I've been doing. I'm guessing there are other, TWRP flasheable .zip files for the 6T. Maybe I should try those? Can't seem to find them. If so, can you point them out to me, please?
I humbly ask that you review this thread, looking closely at your guidance and my responses. I keep ending up at the same place - the Qualcom CrashDump Mode Screen.
Thanks!
