Brick?

Hi there,

Okay, so I have a bit of a problem with my OPO. As of last week I tried to start with installing Custom Roms on my OPO, as I did with my previous Android phones.

After reading some threads on XDA I was confident enough to start. So my plan of action was:

1. Unlock bootloader (success!)

2. Install TWRP recovery (success!)

3. Intall a Custom Rom through install instructions (failure. Rom file was corrupt and could not install)

So after step 3 I thought, well let's start over again and go back to stock Rom and try again. But then my problem started to escalate.

I could not install the stock rom back again, I tried all kinds of different options. Flash with ADB, OPO toolkit, OPO restore tool. All that lead to the same issue. Every single one gets stuck/freezes after a long wait on "writing system.img"

Can anyone help me get back to stock rom from this point?

Any help is much appreciated!!

'fastboot oem unlock' command doesn't work while rooting

I'm trying to root my device following a tutorial from the oneplus forum, I've also tried a bunch more. It's currently running the 05Q OTA update. The problem is, whenever I'm giving the command 'fastboot oem unlock' it doesn't wipe anything at all, rather performs a normal reboot. I've searched other forum posts on the topic here, none really resembled mine (or I didn't get the exact solution to the problem). I've tried the OPO toolbox v5 as well, didn't work. Same thing happens, I click the 'unlock bootloader' button in fastboot mode, the phone performs a normal reboot instead of wiping it. I'm pretty much a noob in this field, so a noob-friendly solution could help me a lot.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Are you sure the bootloader is locked in the first place? Give this command:

fastboot oem device-info

What does it return?

It returns the following:

Some are older than others and may need updating.

Did you wipe data when you moved from CM11S to CM12?

If you didn't, you need to.

FYI, when you're switching from one gapps package to another, you should wipe system and then reflash CM12 followed by the new gapps.

I don't know how certain apps detect root without being granted Superuser access, but it's common, and doesn't have anything to do with CM. For example, T-Mobile's account app (it has a "diagnostic"), CPU-Z, Softcard, etc detect my Galaxy Light as rooted, and it's running stock TouchWiz. Heck even Subway's app won't work if you're rooted, and they're a freaking sandwich chain.

An option to try is the Root Cloak Xposed module.

Scenario: My ROM does not boot. I have a working recovery (TWRP). fasboot works. Can I transfer files using fastboot to /sdcard instead using fastboot flash?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spannaa:
You can use adb in TWRP recovery:

adb push filename /sdcard/

but it's a lot easier to just fastboot flash.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabrefresco:
Do you have to sideload it? Or does adb as soon as TWRP loads up?

You can, but that's not what you asked!

adb push file /sdcard/

Will transfer the file to your sdcard and you can then flash it via TWRP.

adb sideload file.zip

will transfer file.zip and flash it.

There are loads of guides around on how to use adb - search XDA or Google it ;)

Yes. Stock with the tamper flag set to false.

Are you for certain it isn't being unlocked? Did you try flashing another recovery to ensure it is indeed locked?

It's in a weird state. Most of the time it says it can do anything right after I did the oem unlock command and it reset because its locked.

This phone is better than lg g3 or huawei g750? thanks =)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xephrey:
The value proposition of the One is far better. Same with the overall look of it, I'd say. Though the G3 has a smaller footprint with the same size screen which makes it a bit more space-efficient. The screen is gorgeous on the G3 while the One's is decent with high probability of base-screen opaquing. Though the G3 can get hot and forces down brightness when it gets too hot to prevent overheating. Not sure what the threshold is there.

I have a Nexus 4 with CM12 nightly and want to migrate all my stuff to the OPO, I think I will use CM12 nightly on OPO too, what would be the fastest/best way to do that? Or should i wait for CM12S ?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
The best way to migrate across would be to backup all of your user apps with Titanium Backup and then restore them once you've booted up whichever ROM you decide on the One. I wouldn't bother waiting for CM12S to be honest, it's really just CM12 with a couple of extra apps that you can add manually anyway. You don't even really need to stick with CM at all, this device has an awesome dev community, there are dozens and dozens of ROMs to choose from. If there's any advice I can give you it's this:

1. Unlock your bootloader before you really start using the phone, because it wipes your user data.

2. When you install TWRP recovery make sure you make a backup of your stock ROM.

3. Backup your EFS partition as soon as you have root.

You need to flash the KitKat modem and KitKat firmware before restoring your backup. So wipe, flash those, reboot back into recovery, restore your backup.

No recovery but can boot os

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread in advance.

Yesterday I tried to update to CM12 after having used it with multirom for some time now. So I wiped dalvik, cashe and system and data. Installed the latest nightly, 27-3-2015, on my One and directly afterwards I installed the gapps. The problem was that when I booted, I constantly got the message saying the google play services had crashed. After some research I found out that this was because of a wrong version of TWRP, at least that is what I read, and decided to update TWRP to the latest version. After I did that I booted again and the problem was still present. Thus wanted to reboot and try to wipe and install cm12 again. This is where I found a big problem: I cannot get the recovery nor fastboot to boot, but I'm able to boot into the cm12 that is still on there and I can also see all the files in my explorer on my pc.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I plan on completely wiping everything after twrp works again and then to install cm12. Keep in mind that I needed to install the AK kernel in order for multirom to work at first, this kernel is still on the phone.

Thx in advance

You're not wiping properly, when flashing a new ROM you need to perform a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache).

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spannaa:
If you're running a CM12 nightly already, all you need to do to update it is download a later one, check its md5 to make sure the download is OK and then flash it and wipe cache & dalvik-cache.

Gapps shouldn't need flashing after every nightly as they should be automatically restored via a gapps.sh script.

SuperSU will need reflashing and updating after every nightly if you use it but you could use the CM built-in root instead.
