It's been a long time since I had a OnePlus One but I'm pretty sure that if the bootloader is locked, you can't use fastboot commands to install anything.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josephiskandar:
I indeed can't flash anything using fastboot with the bootloader locked. Fastboot gives me an error message.

I normally should have the OS recovery installed. I tried accessing it by holding volume down + power button. Then also by entering the command "fastboot reboot recovery" in fastboot mode. But both methods make my phone go into bootloop.

I'm mainly interested in retrieving the photos taken with the camera, located in /sdcard/DCIM/Camera. But for now I haven't found a way.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spannaa:
If you can't boot either system or recovery, you can't access your internal storage via USB and if your bootloader is locked, you can't install a recovery image.

An unbricking tool might fix your phone, but it would wipe everything, including your photos.

Unless you happened to have an app backing up your photos (Google Photos, Mega etc.) I suspect you've lost them.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansou901:
True Story, haven't thought about that (first thing I do when getting a phone is unlocking the bootloader, so I never had that problem). Thanks for clarifying!

Hi guys

I decided to go back to my OPO after using Honor 8 for almost 2 years. I am on TugaPower rom(15.0). Still getting used to no fingerprint sensor.

Now my question is if there is a way I can do a scrollshot on OPO?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Younex:
[MENTION=5732056]gurashish1singh[/MENTION] there are many apps to do that (this is android , afterall ;) )

Just search "long screenshot" , "stitch" , or "scroll" in play store.

Questions like this are not related to the Oneplus One so it's better to ask in other forums (non device specific).

I got a bricked OPO from a friend. Could revive using recovery tool.

It now runs original CyanogenMod 4.4.4 Kitkat! Latesr TWRP installed.

When I try to flash any N/O/P based rom, it gives an error 7 (or some other error) and install fails. This even on trying clean flash.

Even adb sideload or fastboot flash ain't working.

Plz suggest a remedy.

A firmware flash will do you no good. Please explain what ROM you tried to install (exact file name you downloaded) and which method you used.

In case u couldn't tell i am a newb. And i appreciate your help with this. I had my last phone rooted and maintenance by a web page called one click root . I had they service for 6 months. Anytime I messed it up or wanted anything done to it they fixed it remotely via rescue my mobile. I watched them and picked up some knowledge. But I can t afford they're services anymore right now. I have a baby being born this month so it's been tight with cash. One more thing. WHAT DO U KNOW ABOUT FLASHING USINF OTG CABLE AND FLASH DRIVE? Can I pretty much follow any tortoriel and be good?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
Don't you worry. We got you covered on the flashing front so you can spend all that extra cash on diapers and this cute bodysuit. Anyway, back to business.

You're in luck with the OnePlus One, it's the most flashable device I ever owned. I've been in some serious pickles with it (up to the point its screen wouldn't even turn on anymore) and got to recover it every single time. I've learned most valuable lessons with it and you'll undoubtedly will too.

About the OTG cable: it's not really needed but it's an excellent failsafe. In some rare cases sideloading ('pushing' files from a computer to your device with a USB cable) just won't work. When that happens, it's OTG to the rescue! I also use it regularly to create nandroid backups, then they reside directly on external storage (excellent in case your internal storage messes up). Besides, these cables go really cheap so I'd always recommend getting one.

Have you tried flashing one of the ROMs I proposed now? Out of curiosity, how much did 1clickroot charge for support?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwagner.ash88@gmail.com:
No I haven't gotten to 2a computer yet to try flashing it yet well I did try going to the library but their computers are so locked up is hard to do anything I couldn't find the downloads I mean I found them and I downloaded them but I couldn't find them on the computer and I can't find my charging cord for my laptop. And one click root charge me $30 for this one time Root but normally they charge like $60 for a 6 month unlimited

I am trying to figure out why my phone is in reacting to the OTG cable like it's not reading it when I go to hit OTG in TWRP it must be the cable
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StraffeHendrick:
Damn, this OPO thread is still alive? and Timmaaaaajh is still active here, lol

Still having my OPO, stock rom, but changed screen already 5 times ( ;( )

Screen again broken, bumbed against door handle, and using a Moto G6 now, but still missing my OPO.

Only thing its lacking is battery life..... not even a whole day, without bleutooth or anything. I ordered a new battery at Aliexpress but even that is after a short time not performing how it should. Any idea about this? Is it because its a chinese clone battery it isnt working or is it a common problem with the OPOs? If i could get a decent battery i would GLADLY use it again, .... awaiting your feedback, cheers
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
Sure am! :silly:

Original screen replacement? My OPO is still very much alive, in mint condition and battery is fine. I replaced it just over a year ago ("Internal Replacement Battery For 1+ OnePlus One BLP571 3100mAh With Tools." on eBay). It only serves for a single app though, for my son to play with his GOcube. Let's see how long it'll remain unscathed. My wife got a G7 power: 10 hours SoT on full stock. 5000mAh battery, lol.

I'm glad I took the step to a 6T, it definitely enriched the gaming experience and I can't complain about battery, it lasts a full day without much trouble.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrMacabre68:
Hello, here’s a funny one.

Out of boredom i wanted to try out android 10 on my OPO running lineage 16 without any trouble for some time now. Prior to this, was running lineage 15 and CM13, whatever.

So im flashing the newly acquired android 10 rom for OPO that popped up lately and added the first gapps i found on top of it, i think it was an arm64 one, my bad, it didn’t fit anyway. Reboot without doing any wipe because that’s how bad i am. Of course it didn’t work but since I’m an old geek running android since the end of time (HTC Desire) i had a backup just made before with TWRP 3. Something which has been updated since to 3.3.1.

Backup restored and it should have been the end of the story but unfortunately, since this, im experiencing some crazy lags from time to time and worst... im getting this black screen bull**** at random or so it seems. Blackscreen with backlight on. I can only hard reset at his time. (Long power press until it starts again)

My first guess was that it was time for a factory reset but then, to my ?, I couldn’t boot after wiping it to factory. All i could get was going back to TWRP after waiting a fair amount of time.

The only thing i haven’t done yet is giving a try to another rom because i don’t really which one could bring back the device to a working state so i could may be go back to lineage 16.

How do i flash my rom :

Wipe to factory, flash rom, flash gapps pico, the only one that fit, wipe dalvik, reboot and cries...

Hope you liked my story and can help me on this one.

Also xda kicked out my old account for no reason so i look like a total noob in here with this newly created one but that’s another story ?

GPS

Does anyone have issues with GPS on this device when it is cloudy?

I can't figure out if it is my service provider or not.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
Here's some bullet points to help you out:

Please mind your language, we're a family friendly community ;)

Try using this TWRP (new TWRP = new backups!).

Instead of factory resetting, do a more thorough wipe with advanced wipe (select System + Data + Cache + Dalvik-ART Cache).

A CM13 flash could fix the lags and 'blackouts' as it resets a lot of drivers.

Would be handy to know which ROM you tried. Version information is always useful to share and aids troubleshooting a lot. Tip: copy-paste the zip names of the things you're trying to flash.

Pico has a great deal missing compared to nano (which should definitely fit as well!) but it depends how much of 'Google' you need on your phone.

I haven't heard about that before and it seems highly unlikely to me. These guys seem to agree. A heavy storm may influience it somehow but regular clouds probably can't do that.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrMacabre68:
Ended up deleting all *Google* files within data and i managed to clean install android 10. Works fine now, I think the first arm64 gapps I flashed by accident messed up pretty much the phone even if it says nothing was installed due to lack of space in system.

All good now, thanks for your help.

Backup methods before rooting/mod

Hi everyone! Hope all of you are safe.

Quarantine made me freak out and try to upgrade my OnePlus One. Also the fact that there's a game on the store that simply only opens a whole black screen while on other phones and even Bluestacks it works just fine. I even tried with the apk, but it just turns black. So I decided it's time to make my phone better.

About my OnePlus One, it's an Android 6.0.1, Cyanogen OS 13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0-bacon, API level Elderberry (5). I think the last update there is for OnePlus One without a mod. Also this is my first time, so I apologize for being a novice to this, I just never thought I could manually upgrade the phone and make it better to be honest. I was just accepting my lack of knowledge and money to get a new OnePlus.

So I decided to try different backups to learn new things about this whole new world! Did a lot of research and I'm overwhelmed a bit. I wanna try 5 methods: Manual backup, Helium app backup (because I do have a lot of game data), command line program adb, TWRP (that needs to unlock bootloader from what I know) and finally Nandroid that will need a root.

So, if you could spare some links (I do have links, but it's never enough for me to be sure lol) on how to do any of these, I'd be very grateful!! The Manual one I'm actually looking for a way to connect the phone to pc and look through the files with some program to copy it (I have a lot of pictures, pdfs, and honestly this method really overwhelms me. I think I know where those files are, but still afraid to miss a folder somewhere). The Helium seems pretty easy, so I think I can do it myself with some tutorials I found!

I was just hoping to upgrade the Android, but maybe a Mod can make it better so should I try to root it? :confused: I'm really scared of flashing, unlocking bootloader and root it, I'm really making an effort for days to understand everything but I just get anxious because if I do something wrong, I don't have the money or people to help me out physically due to the pandemic. Please give me your advice and help this new person in the world of... exploring Android unknown (by me) possibilities.

Thank you very much for just reading this question/vent post. I'm learning so much, it just gets too much information on my head and need a light out :o

Edit 1: Sorry for already editing but I was looking on some older questions here just because and noticed [MENTION=4841620]Timmmmaaahh[/MENTION]'s signature... That answered some of my doubts, but I'd still ask you please to help me about command line program adb, the Manual backup issue and the personal advice on this situation pleaseeee, I really need some peace of mind. This whole thing about doing backups it's messing my mind for the last 6-5 days with worry and anxiety. (And this is normal for me, it happened the same for my computer but computer backup is so much easier to me because I've done it before.)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
Hey thunderay!

I am and I hope you and everyone reading along is safe as well.

I don't have much time right now for more elaborate guidance as I need to take my beauty nap but I'd love to help you out. I applaud your careful approach to this, we'd have a lot less "PLEASE HELP!" posts around here if more users followed your example ;)

There's definitely no need to apologise; that's what this thread is for. Kudos for posting your inquiry correctly by the way.

It's exciting, right? I remember when I made my first steps in this sometimes scary world of flashing. You're lucky to own one of the most development friendly devices to play with IMHO. The guide I wrote should still provide accurate help. There's just one thing I can't stress enough: when things go wrong - and they will - don't panic! There's almost always a way to fix things. If you give in to panic and make rash moves to try solving things on your own (often not knowing what you're doing), you'll find yourself in quite the pickle in no time. It's always better to ask first instead of being sorry later.

One thing I'd like to note straight away is that unlocking the bootloader will wipe the entire device so making backups after doing so doesn't have much use. An OTG cable and perhaps even a dedicated flash drive can be extremely useful tools for backing up your stuff.

Most of all: have fun!

Hello!

I'm glad you're safe and also hoping everyone here also is. I'm very lucky to say I'm safe and sound :)

Haha, I completely understand. I appreciate your help after your beauty nap, to rest is always a need! Even though your guide was super helpful, right now I can't ease my anxiety so I'll read it better tomorrow. Thank you for all the efforts you made to make that guide, I'm sure it already helped a lot of people!!

It's exciting yes, I've wrote so many stuff already (I'm still a paper person lol) but even so my fear and anxiety (clinical but that's just a detail to explain why I'm using that word so much) just won't rest. They made me research a lot about making posts on this forum, to search the correct place to ask, and to not make a single post. Guess they are helpful sometimes! I'm glad I've done this right for a first post/reply :D And thanks for the kudos! ♥

Also, thanks for reassuring me there's always a way to fix stuff. Due to the situation (pandemic and money) I really feel like I can't fail and panic + stress are almost getting the best of me. Almost only! I'm glad I decided to ask here first before doing anything to my trustful companion. I'm happy to know it's a good and development friendly device to play with. I'm only starting, but if that's the case, I sure am lucky I got my OPO 5 years ago. I just have to explore it more, like I didn't for 5 years... Kinda wish I knew that before, but probably wouldn't be as excited as I am now, so yea. Let things just that their time. Even if it's 5 years.

Thanks for pointing that out! I research a bit about TWRP but since it was my 4th method of backup, I didn't get that much information about it yet. Guess it's one less way to do backup to learn (for now, since it's still locked). And I had to google what a OTG cable was, firstly because not only I'm a novice, but also because English is not my first language and wow. I didn't even knew that existed, I'm stuck in time haha My flash drives are totally ready, as well as my external HDD just in case they all are too small for this.

Finishing this with a big thank you for your reply and the realization that I need a upgrade. In everything tech related. :p

Edit 1: I found this software https://xdaforums.com/android/software/android-file-manager-pc-simple-small-t3267876 that explains pretty much what I was looking for on the Manual Backup, but it's from 2015 so maybe there's another one more updated with the same characteristics?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
Hey again!

As you're currently on COS13 you'll probably be better off with 2015 software. Newer is not always better either. I'd just like to add that you should avoid software for flashing; manual is the way to go! There are tools that add more user friendly interfaces to flash but that's one major danger for the OnePlus One/Bacon because when they perform a sequence of fastboot flashes, these tools tend to add a bootloader lock at the end. I personally managed to hardbrick a Bacon by accidentally locking the bootloader (with a batch file) and unlocking it again. To summarize: one bootloader unlock is fine, locking it and unlocking again is a big no no. It will sometimes work just fine but it can go unrecoverably wrong.

I get you remain hesitant in taking that 'fastboot oem unlock' step but it could help to consider your Bacon is pretty much worthless in its current state. If it's been your daily driver for the last 5 years then I can imagine it isn't very performant anymore. It also lacks a tremendous amount of security updates so it's possibly even a slave at this point. Upgrading to a more recent system (Pie or 10) helps with both problems. Performance won't magically improve (it's still a 5 years old device) but it can surely make a difference. Still, it's completely up to you whether to dive in or not. Flashing always entails a risk. I flashed mine hundreds of times though :)

Another pointer: if you'd decide to make the step, you'll first have to wipe everything and flash CM13 to update all needed drivers. Then wipe again and flash a ROM of choice.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spannaa:
It's been a very long time since I had a OnePlus One, but to answer your boot loader question: Back up everything you want to keep - Photos, Music, Videos etc and then unlock your bootloader (which will factory reset your phone (including wiping internal storage).

Once your bootloader is unlocked, you can do anything you want, but don't lock it again - it's unnecessary, even if you want to return to the stock Cyanogen OS.

Here's a few really useful XDA threads specific to the OnePlus One that include answers to questions, explanations of processes and detailed guides.
