No need to feel stupid. I have this information posted in my instructions on flashing the stock images in my guide thread, but if they weren't the directions you followed there's no way you could have known. I don't know of any other guides that give this information.

I used Wug's Bacon Root Toolkit which is pretty nifty, but I see there are better options for certain scenarios.

Learning to do it manually would have been prudent.

I'm now downloading all of my apps again and luckily have my Tasker profiles and tasks backed up from moving to the OnePlus One from a Nexus 4.

Learned the hard way on this one.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I never recommend people use toolkits. They can cause problems, plus they bypass some very crucial learning experience, it's that experience that gets you out of trouble when the poop hits the fan. Anyway, lesson learned I guess!

Dear friends,

I am getting one plus one from my friend. Now I am using moto g 2nd gen. Gravity box works fully in moto g stock rom. But when I flashed cm12 for moto g, gb was not working completely.

Thank you for your quick response.

TWRP: no idea

Gapps: Slim_Mini 20150703

AK Kernel: 274.OPO

AK settings: Custom settings that will get applied after boot is complete using Synapse App

While I wrote this post I started my OPO again into TWRP to see if there is a version number anywhere. The touches work again for some reason and I could apply a backup. Phone is now working again.

Hey all, I got a secondhand OPO that has had the screen replaced. I am running CM 12.1 nightly.

Couple of questions -

The microphone volume in call is low and nobody can hear me, and google search by voice doesnt work even when clicking the microphone button.

What is the fix for this???? There are several available dating back to last year (!) but none work, someone said it has already been fixed in CM 12.1 early on but it isnt for me.

In call in viber works fine.

Also, with this phone the touchscreen replacement wasnt 100%, all working except the capacitative buttons. I have enabled the soft buttons in CM fine, but they do not work in TWRP. I can't click home, log or back in TWRP. Does anyone know how to enable them in TWRP for this phone?

Hi All, need some help, i have a bootloader unlocked device, running on stock COS12 with stock recovery, i've lost my root and i don't have access to PC now, anyway for me to flash SU into the device? or flash custom recovery without PC?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
If you restored your backup then it does what it says it does. It will wipe cm and "go back in time" to the point where you did your backup. Nothing will be missing when you restore.

For apps and whatnot, you can use titanium backup, it's a paid app and it's definitely worth purchasing if you plan on flashing. For my previous phones including this one, I just take the folder and batch restore apps from my previous phone and everything works great. And a tip, don't back up system apps.. That'll cause issues, only user apps and text messages.

Hey guys,

i have some problems with the Videorecording limitations.

When i record a Video in 4k its limited to 4mins 30secs eg. 2 GB.

When i record with lower resolution 1080p, 720p, 480p the recording length is limited to 10 minutes.

Will this be fixed? Or can i somehow change it so that recordings last till the space on the phone is full?

Also the recording quality for the sound is pretty bad in loud environments even though the one has 3 microphones with noice cancellation.

Can this be changed through cm? Or is this something Opo hast to change?

Hey guys, I'm experiencing some trouble with my rooting.

I used TK's guide on how to root the opo using the toolbox and it worked except for the fact that the root I got was only an interactive shell root. I thought this was odd as I have never seen it before on my other rooted phones. Any suggestions on how to get a normal root instead? I've tried using various recoveries like cwm, twrp and philz, I've also tried using both v1.99 and v2.02 of SuperSU. I've tried flashing over this rom to no avail...

Battery Question

I'm seriously starting to think that there is something wrong with my battery. Yesterday I got a day's use only with three hours sot. I didn't even use it heavily just browsing with chrome. Right now I'm getting 9 hours and down to 65 percent. 1 hour 50 mins of just browsing with chrome. Havent used any other apps either. I'm running mahdi ROM and before I had some battery problems with cm11s battery. I don't have anything waking up my phone so no wakelocks and I haven't been playing music either.

I don't have a lot of apps open and I do use greenify. Screen brightness is below 50% for 95% of my usage time. Reception is soso as I am on At&t and for some reason I can't get good signal on 4g so I go on 3g which is better. I also use wifi quite alot.

I have been told that my Android System usage is very high and I don't know why it is doing that. I got better battery life on cm11s but it is still low in comparison to others. Other people have not even modded their system in anyway and they are getting better SOT and total battery hours.

Pictures: imgur(.)com/a/6MUy2 (Mahdi Rom) Note: I didn't want it to drain overnight because then it would have be skewed results as I would be sleeping and not using it. Hence the screenshots at 35%

Pictures: imgur(.)com/a/xWmWh (CM11s) Not running this anymore
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smarda7a:
i have some questions about battery drain, flashing Color OS and the new update(device unrooted, stock recovery and locked):

1- 30O update, did it solve the Google play services wakelock?? before it i was losing to much battery without using the device if the wifi or 4g enabled, after the update i didn't noticed any difference.

2- can i flash Color OS directly from recovery(after wiping of course) and get back to CM 11s by recovery also??

3- can i unlock the device, install custom recovery and root on 30O update like the old update??

thanks
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
1. I can't really answer this as I don't use the stock CM 11S ROM. But use your phone as it is, then in a couple hours later. Check battery, if you see Google Play Services with the list of apps. Then it has not been fixed, as a workaround http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-google-play-services-battery-t2832525 can fix it.

2. If you want to flash ColorOS then you will need a custom recovery such as TWRP or Clockwork. There are no advantages going back to CM Recovery afterwards, just stick with TWRP or Clockwork.

3. Yes you can. Pretty much what you said... unlock the device, install custom recovery and then flash SuperSU from recovery and then you will have root.

Unfortunately you're stuck. The only way to flash a custom recovery to your device without a PC is by using an app like Flashify, but that requires root. And there's no way to flash SuperSU without a custom recovery. So you'll have to get access to a PC.

I've read that and I followed the instructions for noobs to flash the recovery and I'm still having the issue. I'm on 4.4.4--I confirmed my bootloader is unlocked. I enter fastboot commands as written: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, then I do fastboot format cache, then fastboot reboot. I boot back into OS. Then, through advanced power menu I boot back into recovery and I get this weird stutter during the boot. I see the Oneplus logo (with a vibrate), then it's almost like it does one boot loop, vibrates again, and boots into regular OS again. It's almost like the TWRP isn't booting properly. I'm trying to flash the 2.8.6.0 (I believe that's the version of twrp I'm flashing). And yes, I unchecked in dev options for recovery to be over-written. What am I missing here? I just had another oneplus that I was able to do this with no problem but it was already on lollipop. I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it. Can I update firmware manually with the Cyanogen Recovery??

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Have you tried booting directly into recovery (by using the power + volume down button combo) from fastboot after flashing the recovery? The CM recovery can only flash zips signed by CM (official update zips).
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pathtologos:
I've tried but for some reason, when I hold vol down + power, the phone just shuts off. It's weird. I don't know why I'm not getting any notification to officially update. Hasn't there been an official update past 4.4.4? I'm gonna give it some time to hopefully get one. Also, I thought about downloading another twrp. Maybe that one is somehow corrupt? I even tried using the root toolbox. After it seems to successfully write twrp, I get the box stating "your device will reboot into your selected recovery in a few seconds." Then it just boots into regular OS. It's really frustrating! I thought maybe I'd try to use the tool to flash CWM and see if I have any luck there. Although I'd really prefer twrp, of course.

Thanks for your help, btw.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
The update zip does include a modem. I can only suggest trying to flash TWRP again, and you'll definitely need to boot directly into recovery after flashing because the LP update just patches it with the stock recovery if you boot into the OS after flashing.

Is there any special way you are booting straight from fastboot into recovery? I mean, right from fastboot screen I push vol down + power.

Hold power to turn the phone off after flashing the recovery. Once it's off, hold volume down, then hold power (so you're holding them together), when you see the OnePlus boot logo let go of power but keep holding volume down until you reach recovery.
