I'd say this is highly abnormal but then again I'm on Android 8.1 Oreo (this ROM). I just timed my boot time from the first buzz to the moment I can enter my PIN number: 30 seconds, 15 hundreds.

Then your question of course is "How do I achieve that?!". If you don't want to go down the rabbit hole, a simple factory reset should already refresh the system and speed up boot time greatly. If you're willing to take the red pill, this guide is a good start. Note that the links are outdated in there! Just read* the entire guide to get some insight. There are newer TWRP versions and such but I'll guide you in more detail if you need further assistance. Just drop a line in this thread if you have any questions ;)

* Seriously, read the whole thing. Reading is the key to successful flashing. The only times I've messed up devices before is when I didn't read thoroughly enough...
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXFedeBoyXx:
Hi guys, i'm new in this forum and i've never tried to change phone's original ROM with a custom one.

Could you please help me? I've seen a lot of topics here, but they are so much that i'm very confused. Could you please paste here the links of the best guides for all the procedures i need to change ROM?

I have a Oneplus One with original ROM, and i want to wipe all and install a stable oreo ROM, but i really don't know which one is best, same for kernel. Please help me!

PS: I've seen the link you posted, [MENTION=4841620]Timmmmaaahh[/MENTION] thank you! I'll follow it. Please give me an advice about rom/kernel choice if you can!

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
First and foremost: Welcome! To any new user I would without a doubt suggest Sultan's unofficial Lineage OS distribution. It's Android Nougat based but in terms of stability and battery friendliness, it is unrivalled in my experience. You will learn that developer [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] is one of key people here that opens gates to whole new worlds of goodies. He's featured many times on the XDA portal.

If you feel that you must be on the Oreo train, there's also an unofficial Oreo LOS and an arguably more stable AOSP release (Android Open Source Project, as vanilla as it gets) by the pioneering [MENTION=5834335]Agent_fabulous[/MENTION]. There are more funky Nougat and Oreo releases but I wouldn't recommend them for new users.

Don't worry about kernels just yet. Each ROM comes with its own kernel, stick with those first.

Before you get to work with any of the aforementioned ROMs, you'll need to unlock your bootloader first. Doing so is dead simple (read the guide in my previous post) but you will lose all data. That includes (but isn't limited to) game saves, pictures, videos, messages, etc. Pretty much everything that isn't saved into the cloud. So make sure you make backups! Choosing to proceed means accepting the risks involved. Of course, the community will try to help you when needed.

My main pointers for any new user starting to flash on Bacon (OnePlus One's official codename):

Do not ever lock the bootloader after unlocking it! Don't touch the tamper flags, ever. Once you've unlocked the bootloader, keep it that way! Even when selling the device. We are now way beyond warranty period anyway.

Make backups!

Make backups of your backups!

Have patience. Rushing through development threads to get to flashing quickly WILL get you in trouble. Read the first posts by the thread starter, read the last three pages of posts, ask questions if you're unsure and don't act on anything if you don't know what it means.

Prepare yourself properly. Make sure you have everything needed (Nandroid backup, ROM, Backup ROM, Gapps, Magisk, etc.) before starting to wipe things.

Search is your wingman. If something messed up, chances are very likely that it has happened to someone else before.

Have fun! The rush of taking control of your device is simply awesome, enjoy it. Have your heart skip a beat when the boot animation just won't appear, solve the problem and learn from the experience.

After you've unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery (TWRP), create a full Nandroid backup, wipe everything (/system + /data + /cache + /Dalvik/ART cache), flash this latest official CM13.0 snapshot first and wipe everything again. Only then will your device be ready to flash current releases. If you skip this step, you'll probably run into hardware compatibility problems.

From that point on, flashing is pretty straightforward. Following the instructions mentioned in each ROM thread (first post) should do. For more detailed instructions and troubleshooting, please read this guide I wrote.

Happy Flashing! :victory:

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
Oh, full stock, we don't get that a lot around these parts ^_^

Well then, let's cover some ground related to your issue:

Do you regularly (at least weekly) reboot your phone?

When WiFi/Data connection is lost, try enabling 'Airplane mode' for about 5 seconds and turn it off again. Does that restore the connection?

How often do the connection drops occur?

When was your last full reset to factory settings (if ever)?

(I like this one most) Would you be prepared to unlock your bootloader in order to flash different firmware or is it unlocked already?

Hey guys and gals, hope you can offer some guidance....

When Cyanogen left I had to upgrade from stock 4.4.4 which I was very happy with.

Since then I've been running LOS Nougat but never been quite satisfied as although stable, there are minor glitches which have never been fixed with subsequent updates. This is mostly the proximity sensor when calling.

Recently decided to try another ROM but still having issues.

Currently running Slim Nougat and is stable but experiencing the same.

I thought I'd try AOSP Extended Oreo. This has not worked for me...

I've tried v5.1 and it installed but will not flash the Gapps successfully. I tried v5.3 but that gets stuck in a bootloop.

Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks in advance
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
Heya!

It seems like there's some corruption going on which will always result in unstable flashes. Which TWRP version are you using?

Something you should definitely do: create a full Nandroid backup, wipe everything besides internal (/system + /data + /cache + /Dalvik/ART cache), flash the latest official CM13.0 snapshot and wipe everything again. Then try flashing the ROM you want again.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fathervic:
Wiping isn't a problem, I always do... I'll try starting with the snapshot like you suggested and see what happens.

Unable to use adb push zip as error:closed - usb debugging off

Hi all

I would like some help please, if possible.

I have tried to reinstall afresh LineageOS on Bacon (latest 12.04.18 nightly) but forgot to turn USB Debugging On.

So went to TWRP, formatted Data, Cache, Dalvik and System!

I can put the phone in Recovery mode and Fastboot but cannot push the zip through.

MTP is enabled on TWRP.

I'm getting the error on the Command Prompt after typing:

adb push lineageOS. zip /sdcard/

error:closed

So far have flashed TWRP again as this iwas the only thing I could do. Searched a few forums with Android Enthusiasts, etc but came up empty.

I have also searched this forum but could not come with anything specific to my problem.

I anyone can help, I would be much obliged!

Regards,

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
Flashing TWRP again usually doesn't help as settings survive. Boot to TWRP and go to Settings > Restore Defaults. That may already help you a great deal. You forgot to mention which TWRP version you're using, please mention that if problems persist.

This may be irrelevant but I don't really understand the causal relationship between LOS not having USB Debugging enabled and wiping everything...

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarnaKeyras:
I everyone ! I'm quite new to this so I hope I'm in the right place, and that my english isn't to bad, as it's not my first language.

So I've got my OPO since september 2014 and I love it. It's mine, to my taste and it does what I want. Sure if I could afford it I would grab a better replacement phone but I don't

need

it.

Problem is : I dropped it a few months ago and the screen brock. I wasn't feeling confident enough to open it and replace the screen myself, so I went to a phone repair shop that I thought could be trusted. It seems not, as they charged me 100€ to replace my screen with a lesser quality one (colors seem a bit off, lesser brightness, polarization issues with my glasses etc.), that, in top of everything I think stopped working just now. But I'm not quite sure and I would like to be before trying anything.

My screen just freezes sometimes. I'm doing something and it freezes, but only the picture in itself, everything behind is still working. I mean that, for exemple, if it freezes when I'm choosing what music I want to listen to, I can still select the track through tapping and it will change, the changement will just not appear on screen. Same idea if I'm playing, let's say PoGo. When encountering a Pokemon, it freezes, I can still throw the ball and catch the Pokemon while the screen is displaying nothing but a frozen in time Pokemon and Pokeball.

Those freeze happen randomly but quite often, can disappear on their own after a few seconds or need that I turn of the screen or even the device sometimes. The device can sometime even boot while frozen in a black screen (I know it's still booting thanks to the little buzz that LOS makes just before ending the booting sequence).

Oh, also sometime the display completly freaks out and a quarter / a half (randomly) of the screen is taken by "electronic and multicolour snow" while freezing.

So I've got multiple questions :

- Can you confirm that these problems are directly linked to the screen and could be resolve by a screen change ?

- Do you think it's still worth it to invest money (= screen change) for this phone ?

- Is yes, I've done some research throughout the board and could find some threads writing about which screen is a better replacement. Nonetheless, If you've got a favorite one or are happy with your replacement screen, I will gladly take your advice.

Thanks a lot for taking time to answer my questions. If their is anything I can do to help you, feel free to ask!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
Just to be clear, your software is completely stock (you didn't flash anything), right?

- We can probably confirm this by starting the device in recovery mode. Hold volume down key while pressing power and wait for the 1+ logo to appear, then let go of both keys. This will bring you to stock recovery (if you haven't flashed anything else). If you see the screen issues persisting there, we can confidently say that there is a hardware screen problem.

- Before shelling out any more cash, check with the store for any warranties they may offer on repairs. You may also want to do some research on your legal rights before heading back there. But yes, the money is worth it if a successful repair has been made.

- I personally take good care of my device and the screen is protected with sapphire glass so I have not yet had the need to make any repairs. If I would get it damaged, though, I'd definitely check out the local repair shops. I believe its key to read their conditions thoroughly and to insist on proof (delivery ticket, repair ticket, detailed list of made repairs,...) of every step of the process. There's only two situations I wouldn't bother with any repairs: too much damage (the device looks like it's been on an episode of 'Will it Blend?') or water damage.

AOSP
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarnaKeyras:
Thank you for your answer ! I've flashed TWRP and LineageOS. I can't really check now because my phone is currently refusing to display any image (though it is clearly on). But as an exemple of my problem happening "outside" LineageOS, I can force shutdown and boot without seeing anything (neither the OnePlus Logo nor the LineageOS booting animation).

EDIT : I finally have an image . It does also freeze in TWRP. So I definitely think it's hardware.

However I flashed a long time ago and never encoutered any problem.

You're totally right but unfortunately I think I've lost the paper that they gave, it however wasn't very detailled. I can still go and check with them if they got any trace of it, and if they can do something withoug overcharging me, but I don't have a lot of hope.

EDIT : I went to the store that did the repair. I was still in their system and still under warranty. Long story short : they think it is a software issue, and I didn't think fast enough in the moment to tell the that it was happening outside of Lineage. I will probably go on monday with a video of the screen freezing happening and see what they can do. Thank you a lot again !

Heyyyy

I am using lineage os 14.1 its working fine with lil bit of lags here n there. No issues. But still there is LTE reception fluctuations just like it had earlier when it came new. There are some antenna patches on xda you can search them n flash but one of those patches disables auto rotate so try n choose. Only one problem what am facing right now is with smart dialer, whenever I try to pull up any number from call history (the number which is not saved) it does not pull up on dialing the numbers. Suppose I got a call from some unknown number 2-3 days ago and I remember that there was 567 in that number and when I try to dial it won't come up. It only looks for saved numbers. Am sure there could be a work around or fix but am still looking for it.:):confused:

Need help with recovering photos and videos

Hello,

I own the Oneplus One (64 GB), no SD card slot, unrooted and should be running Cyanogen OS 13.1.

I accidentally deleted a lot of photos in the phone's file explorer yesterday. I immediately went into airplane mode and stopped using the phone.

What I tried:

Since I did not sync with Google photos, I did some searching for recovery tools. I see people suggesting Photorec/Testdisk and Recuva for PC and Diskdigger for android.

-I didn't try Diskdigger since I didn't want to risk lowering the chances of recovery

-Both Photorec/Testdisk and Recuva failed to detect my phone. It should be because of the fact that there's no mass storage mode option for the USB connection of the phone

What I need help with

Right now, I turned off my phone and I really have no idea what I should do next.

-I saw comments suggesting on getting a copy of the 'Rom image?' to use the above software but don't know where to start with.

-Also, is root access really necessary to use the above software and do the 'Rom image?' copy? If so, which way of rooting is the best to prevent the photos from getting written over?

-Are there any other methods that I missed?

Sorry for asking a newb question. Hope you can give me some help.

Thank You

P.s. I did try to backup all my photos and videos not long ago, but I noticed a few folders and a lot of photos were hidden when viewing from the PC. That's how I accidentally deleted the photos when attempting t solve it with the 'copy photos to new folder method'
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
Hi!

Oh boy, what a pickle. I always emphasize on a proper backup strategy and I'm sure you'll look into that after this. Anyway, let's skip the lecture and get constructive!

Please read the entire post before doing anything.

You'll have to try DiskDigger (or an alternative) as it's your only option right now. I downloaded it myself just now to test it for you after purposely deleting a picture from my device and I was able to recover it. I did not give the app any root access so it performed the recovery just fine without it.

Installing an app utilizes the /data partition so that shouldn't harm any of your data, which is in /sdcard (the internal storage partition). DiskDigger also doesn't create any app folder in /sdcard so it really should be completely safe to install. You did good to cut off any network connection! To avoid having to enable it, download DiskDigger via apkmirror (click here) on your PC, then copy it to your device. You could avoid this last write movement by using an OTG device or OTG cable and installing the apk from external storage to the phone.

Running the scan won't cause any harm either as that's purely happening in read-only mode. However.. RECOVERING FILES ON THE SAME STORAGE MAY DAMAGE UNRECOVERED FILES! Avoid that by either restoring to Cloud storage (better) or via OTG (best). I'm preferring the latter because Cloud storage will force you to enable a network connection, which always causes some write movements.

I hope this helps you getting (some of) your files back. Let us know how it went!

Hi,

Thanks a lot for taking your time to test it out for me when I am absolutely lost! I really appreciate your help!

I have placed the APK file on a USB and tried to install it through OTG. But it seems like it wouldn't let me install the apk (the install screen didnt pop up at all, just showed cannot install at the bottom of the screen).

I did tick the 'allow install from unknown source ' and also the APK actually loaded up when I try it on other phones. So I am not sure what went wrong.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
You'll need another ROM to achieve this. The only one I have encountered to do this (by default!) is crDroid. Here's what you need to do:

Make backups if you need any!!!

If you haven't done this already, install custom recovery TWRP (this one)

Download this ROM (XDA thread), These Gapps and Magisk to the root of your internal storage

Boot into TWRP, select Wipe > Advanced and wipe everything but NOT internal storage and OTG.

Go back to the main window of TWRP (home button) and tap Install, now navigate to sdcard (it's there by default, just scroll down) and find the ROM we downloaded (crDroidAndroid-8.1-20180525-bacon-v4.3.zip), tap it

Now select add another zip (not completely sure how it's put exactly) and navigate to the OpenGapps zip

Initiate the install, wipe caches when complete and go back, then flash Magisk and reboot

Awesome, you're a flash-master! Treat yourself to a fresh cold drink =)

When the system is booted, set everything up to your liking. If it doesn't detect your SIM at first, just reboot. If Magisk isn't passing SafetyNet, just reboot. If your ex is harassing you again, just rebo... no wait, block the number with Call Blocker or something, why are you even asking me this? Moving on...

Test the auto booting by turning the device off entirely and then inserting it into a charging point, this works great on my end.

Do everything you need to do instructed in the video

Last but not least: perform a good deed today! No seriously, I mean it. It can be as small as picking up a pen someone just dropped or as heart warming as having a coffee and a chat with someone lonely (excellent opportunity to show off your awesome new GPS!).

If you need any further specification on any of the above steps, just give me a holler! ;)

I was actually going to tell you it wasn't possible but then I tried it on crDroid – which I had just flashed the day before for the first time – and noticed it worked! lol...
