Upgrading from Non-LineageOS

There are solutions. I had downloaded the experimental version and tried to upgrade from CyanogenMod 13, but it did not boot, so I had to do a clean upgrade anyway.

It is bad, I know. It took me a whole day to recreate everything. The desktops alone with all their folders took almost three hours. I do have lots of apps though, about 200.

The biggest helper was Titanium Backup (root). The problem there is that some system data can be restored just fine, while others create problems or render the system unbootable, so any trial and error method is extremely awkward and time-consuming.

Looking into the future, I already now fear that a straight (dirty) upgrade to Android O may again not be possible. Or worse, as has happened with some CyanogenMod versions, the automatic upgrade is offered, but renders the phone unbootable.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Invisan:
Well in my case it wouldve been a simple Update.

The Upgrade from CM13 to Lineage isnt supposed to be working though.

But the Update from CM14.1 to Lineage should be working just fine with the Experimental Build.

At least thats what i read.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkPandey:
Lost access to my internal storage.

Hello Friends,

I am new to this forum so I am using this noob friendly thread. Please bear with me.

I am currently using OnePlus 1. I wanted to try out the Resurrection remix custom ROM so I followed this guide to root my phone using fastboot, then installed custom recovery (TWRP), flashed the latest firmware update (bacon_firmware_update_2016_1-25_.4.0.1.c7-00011), flashed the Resurrection Remix custom ROM (RR-N-v5.8.2-2017-03-31-bacon-Official) and finally flashed the Open Gapps mini(open_gapps-arm-7.1-mini-20170401).

When I reboot my phone, I'm facing the following issues,

1. Most of the apps(Google play music, Whatsapp etc, ) installed perfectly, but some of them I couldn't install(Chrome, Facebook, Messenger, Telegram, Clash of Clans etc) thanks to error code 492.

2. I could not copy any files when I connected my phone to my system using file transfer mode. Nor could I create a new folder. However, I could copy the files through recovery mode.

3. I tried creating a new folder using my phone but I got the message "You need elevated permissions for this action. Try changing to root.".

4. I can see the files through file manager on my phone but I cannot open the files, e.g. when I try to play songs I get "I/O error". PDFs open in hexadecimal.

Another thing I would like to share is that flashing the ROM did not create any default folders that are usually created, which I found really strange.

I am guessing that the Internal Storage is not identified by the ROM anymore.

Can anyone help me out in finding out what is happening and how to fix it?

Please contact me at gkp1992@outlook.com using "XDA Forums" in the subject. I'd be very thankful.

Thanks

Gaurav.

There's no thanks button when emailing ;)

I don't believe that guide requires a firmware flash, that step was obsolete. As you used that guide, you probably also used the link to TWRP in there which most likely ended you up with version 2.8.5.1, which has compatibility issues with Nougat (needs 3.x, the guide is very old). No biggie, we can fix this.

I'll forward you to my more up-to-date guide, click here. See section "3.b. How to flash Resurrection Remix N (with links!)" and follow all the Clean Flash steps, including step 2 (LineageOS).

Important difference for you: instead of "wipe by swiping factory settings", select advanced wipe and wipe

everything

except internal memory. The used ROM and Gapps packages are fine.

Thank you Timmmmaaahh

Thank you very much for the response Timmmmaaahh. I did the firmware flash because I was getting the error "failed oppo.verify_trustzone" for which flashing the firmware was a solution. Nevertheless, I'll try that this evening and come back to you with the result.

You're a lifesaver.

Hi Timmmmaaahh,

Thank you for the guide and the customized step for me. It worked perfectly, but I still don't understand what had happened and I would relly appreciate if you could shed a light on it.

One more thing I am concerned about is that I have a 4G sim card but my mobile data never runs on 4G. It is always H+.

The preferred network type is set to LTE. When I go to About Phone -> Status -> Sim Status -> Mobile network type is HSPA+.

I don't know if it is an issue with the device or the network provider. Can you help me out?

Thanks,

Gaurav.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
It's fairly simple, you followed an old guide with old tools to enable a new system. It would be like installing Windows XP drivers on a Win 10 system, it just doesn't work.

About your mobile data, go to Settings > More (Wireless & networks) > Cellular networks > Preferred network type. Is that set to LTE? If not, set it that way and reboot. Already set that way? Open up the networking service menu by typing *#*#4636#*#* in dialer, then go to 'Phone information'. Under 'Set Preferred Network Type', what does it say? If not "LTE/UMTS auto (PRL)", set it that way, exit the menu and reboot. You can also verify APN settings.

If it's not that either, could it be a reception problem at your location? If not, I would check with your provider.

Any chance to get Android Pixel homescreen with OnePlus app drawer (apps listed from a to z and with a transparent background)?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
Nova Launcher is the most customizable launcher I know and you can make it look and function just like Pixel launcher, transparency is no issue either. You can choose between horizontal and vertical scrolling and it's listed alphabetically but it's not separated with the actual letters as Trebuchet does it. However, you can add a scrollbar to the right and if you swipe that one, it does show a bubble with the current letter you're at. Like so:
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldesarra:
That's what I was looking for. Thank you :)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhedfors:
Nova Launcher is great, but it does not truly replicate the "swipe-left-to-google" functionality of the Google Now/Pixel Launcher experience. That was the deal-breaker for me :).
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhedfors:
LOL. :laugh:

... And this is helpful, how?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
Because you have to tap instead of swipe? Kinda nitpicky, aren't we? :p Plus, you could link a gesture to it. Sure, you can't use left or right swipe (that would interfere with navigating through home screens) but it could be achieved with a double tap or two finger swipe up/down.

Oh [MENTION=6363737]Gawd[/MENTION], it's a [MENTION=8189149]gawdfan[/MENTION]! I just checked this Evie launcher and it's fairly limited compared to Nova and it doesn't have the same navigation mode as Trebuchet either. On the other hand, it is completely free (for now?), while Nova has a lot of pro features (which I happily paid for, one the best purchases I ever made on Play).
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldesarra:
Thank you guys! :)

I am now using Evie and Nova and I will take some time to choose which one is better for me.

There is another question I have. Already googled for it. Is it possible to get a new "recent app" look? Not the OMNI or Slim one. Something like iOS or MIUI style where you have "cards"? See screenshot.

Already tried MIUI ROM for OPO but I prefer to stay with Resurrection Remix :)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
Apparently, Fancy Switcher should be able to handle that with the cover flow mode. It'll probably look even better compared to iOS. It's old though and according to a post on his G+ beta community, thumbnails possibly won't be visible on Nougat. There's also Switchr but that doesn't seem to have a similar look. I don't think a decent mod exists and I wouldn't see why we'd need it, Android is far superior to iOS when it comes to multitasking (or just about anything, right?).

Hey guys, I'm runnig the COS 13.1 + TWRP 3.0.1 + Boeffla Kernel, do I need to update the TWRP version to install a ROM based on the latest Android release?

Any suggestion for battery life?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fathervic:
Hey there,

Just looking for a bit of advice.

Since the cyanogen servers shut down and prevented access to the settings it got me thinking of finally updating my OPO.

I've still been running KK 4.4.4 XNPH25R as it's been super stable and hellishly long battery.

Attempted an update to the latest nightly Lineage but threw up an Error 7.

Seen some posts referring to having to do the migration from later versions of CM and using the experimental builds.

If updating from something so old what should be the correct process? And just in case, my device is the Chinese variant.

Also on a side note - in the initial attempt and having to revert beck to an old image I seem to have screwed up my radio which is causing issues... If I get the Lineage ROM working will this give me an up to date radio or might this require some more flashing?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
No, any TWRP 3.x is able to flash all Nougat based ROMs. I do recommend 3.1.0-4 by Tugapower as I have experienced this one to be rock solid and quite fast. It can handle file transfers and backups simultaneously without even flinching. But ultimately, if you're happy with your version, there's no reason to update.

---------- Post added at 07:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 AM ----------

Heya! Holy smokes, KitKat! You're in for a HUGE change, lol. Lineage OS includes the c6-00241 radio. Make sure you backup your EFS partition before you do anything further. Which version of TWRP did you use to perform the backup?

I've written a rather elaborate guide on common problems here, flash the TWRP I recommend in there (Tugapower 3.1.0-4). Check section "3.b. How to flash" for a detailed step-by-step (in you just want LOS, you don't need to wipe after step 2 and you don't need step 3) and "2.c. C6 or C7, which is the best firmware" for other radio drivers in case you run into connection problems.

Since you're running into Error 7, try clearing Cache + Dalvik-ART cache before flashing LOS. If that doesn't work, try flashing this firmware first. Let me know how it goes!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fathervic:
I didn't want to update as everything was working well. Even after owning this since near launch I can still get about a week's use between charges!

I had been using the latest TWRP and getting that error but after running your suggested update it actually ran fine. So far, so good. Just need to get used to the different layout of things but it does feel blazingly fast.

Radio appears to be fine. Had to update APN but able to make calls now whilst on the LTE setting.

Thanks again for the help.

[MENTION=2313887]fathervic[/MENTION] Cool beans! I'd wait a while before getting into custom ROMs that extend functionality even further. You'll get to know the basics really well that way, which is handy to compare later on. Here, I've put together a little playlist for you to catch up on key features if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKvsGfS-W_QqRBufudyDLncX6sbJgPvcz

I recently booted an old KitKat device of mine and found myself trying all sorts of stuff that wasn't possible back then, quite funny.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fathervic:
OK, bit annoying now....

Thought the calling issues were sorted but appears I was wrong :(

I've not long switched providers/SIM cards (MVNO service). I don't make many voice calls so not quite sure when this started or whether this is purely coincidental or if it was me trying to do the failed original flash.

I can send and receive texts.

WiFi works fine.

I can use LTE and browse the 'net.

After the first failed attempt at an update when I would try and call, the dialer would stop and say something like 'area out of service' and the signal would suddenly drop entirely.

Since the successful update I had only once tried an outgoing call. It seemed to take a while to connect but it called nonetheless. This evening though I tried again but it just sits trying to dial and then cuts off. This time though the signal doesn't drop out.

I tried another sim and was able to dial out. I then swapped back and was able to dial out again but asked to call me - service was unavailable as if my phone was switched off.

So could this be a sim/service issue or do I need to look at my radio? I remember looking at settings a long time ago to make a tweak since this is the Chinese variant.

I am currently on cm 13.1.2, and I haven't been paying attention to updates and the news. Turns out CM died and I am now stuck in marshmallow. I want to move up to Nougat but since CM is dead I have to turn to LineageOS. Will updating from my current os to lineageos 14.1 wipe my data? Thank you so much
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
I don't know what the deal is with the Chinese model. Maybe this is useful? You could try flashing the baseband I suggested earlier (here). I'm not sure but that Chinese hack may conflict with (or get overwritten by) the baseband. If anything breaks, just dirty flash LOS again and wipe caches.

It's not dead really, CM = LOS. One could even dirty flash from the last CM ROM to the first LOS release. You're confusing CM with COS though. If you're still on stock, you're actually on Cyanogen OS (COS), not CyanogenMod (CM). The difference is that COS was developed as a commercial operating system to be shipped with devices, CM/LOS is the freestyle deal. They are NOT compatible with each other so you will have to wipe everything, including your data. If you have not unlocked the bootloader yet, ALL data will already be wiped upon unlocking it (oem unlock). Make sure to take proper backups before you proceed. There are plenty ways to do this, even without root.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimSchumi:
The experimental Migration build is gone. Just FYI
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
Thanks. But would that have worked from locked COS > Experimental > LOS? You can't get around the unlock part, right? I know there's a fairly simple exploit for 3 and 3t to unlock without data loss but not for OPO. I have never tried any of those migration builds. It doesn't seem very.. well, clean lol
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimSchumi:
I don't know, I was never able to test COS.

CM > Experimental > Lineage works definitely.

COS > Experimental > Lineage probably won't work, as COS is probably signed with other keys than the test-keys. If you are on COS the best thing imho would be to wipe everything
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fathervic:
Things have been very strange... There seems to be no continuity between what's happening.

I can make some outgoing calls - those that don't just cut off.

I don't appear to get all incoming calls. If I don't it just goes straight to voicemail or says that my device is supposedly switched off.

Looking at the signal, if I try a landline it appears fine but if I try a mobile the signal seems to drop although not enough to terminate the call.

Surely if you have a problematic modem (assume firmware) it shouldn't be so intermittent? Either it would work or not.

Looking through previous threads I frequented, I did use this:

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/help/guide-fixing-opo-cm11s-modem-problem-t2824139

which appeared to help. Can something like this still be applied or would things now be incompatible or outdated?

I'm currently trying one of the other baseband you've suggested and see how that goes until a replacement SIM arrives next week.

I own a stock OnePlus One that I would like to set up to run custom roms. I looked at various guides and videos on the various procedures but I am concerned about them being a bit outdated now. I have noticed that some folks have posted issues most recently with no help in sight. Has anyone gone through this process recently and can tell me which processes worked and were accurate and trustworthy? I really don't want to have to purchase a new phone at this point if something goes badly during this process. On the other hand, I'd really like to run a new custom rom and be able to get into a new OS and some updates. I thank you for your assistance!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smartphonz:
What stopped me back in January is pretty much the same things that are holding me back now. This is my daily use phone! My last phone was a Nexus One that I purchased way back that was already running a custom ROM. If something went wrong, that would have to be my backup or I'd have to purchase something quick. To be honest, I'm not real excited with the phones that are currently on the market. I'm looking for something affordable that will provide me with a good number of years of OS updates and security patches. I use Mint for service, so that might be a challenge. Also, I have a wife and a few young children. I can't afford to be without a working phone for long.

I was looking at a few guides and a common theme of late seems to be getting the Android SDK Tools from a trustworthy source. I believe that someone recommended that he use 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3 from XDA. I don't know enough to know if that will work.

What does it mean when you say that Lineage OS doesn't include root by default? Does this perhaps mean that I don't need to root to be able to flash it on my phone or is this wishful thinking?

I wish that I could find someone local that I could go to have this done. You don't happen to live in South Florida do you? I've looked on Craigslist but my efforts thus far have been fruitless.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
The 15 seconds ADB installer (right here) is an excellent tool to get started, I always use it myself as well. It avoids the hassle of having to install the entire SDK.

Flashing stuff on your phone and rooting the operating system are two very different things. Of course you'll need system level access to replace the current Android installation, that's why you need to unlock the bootloader (oem unlock). Without that you can't install a custom recovery (TWRP) or a custom ROM (LOS, etc.). That doesn't mean you need system level access from within the operating system (root). Most ROMs include this access by default in the form of Magisk, SuperSU or another SU (SuperUser) manager. If you flash Lineage OS and you want root access, you'll need to flash an additional package (one of the aforementioned managers) to achieve it. The official LOS SU installer is here, the SU uninstaller is found here.

As companies are battling against rooted devices, more users are opting to avoid root. However, this awesome community has already developed ways around these limitations. The most popular one currently is Magisk, an SU manager that excels in its stealth mode. It can fool banking and payment apps so they remain fully functional but still offer the many benefits of having a rooted operating system. For me the most important benefit is being able to make real backups with TitantiumBackup. I also utilize root to use my battery more efficiently, block ads, tweak performance elements, fetch system logs, record calls, enable some usability features like double tap on home screen to go to sleep mode and so on. You can choose to be a part of this cat and mouse game, depending on your personal needs and commitment, or you can play it the way companies want you to play. Sort of, because you're already acting against their wishes by flashing another ROM. It's narrowly related to the fight for personal freedom in a world where the consumer is mainly dictated by corporate greed.

I'm sorry but I live in Belgium. You'd be more than welcome to come over and have a few beers, some waffles and a fully customized OPO but I fear your family wouldn't approve the use of budget for that reason (that kind of dough could get you a pretty decent amount of new phones anyway, haha). It's really not that difficult to tackle this yourself, the secret lies in reading, much reading. The more you educate yourself on the matter, the more confident you'll be upgrading your device. I'll guide you if you have any questions but as Neo put it so adequately: "I can only show you the door, you're the one that has to walk through it".

So last night I dismantled my opo to replace the midframe (which btw looks awesome, like new). In the process I had to remove my battery and plug it in again, and this is where the problem lies: before this operation I was getting five and something hours of SoT. Now, with the same settings and the same kinda usage (mostly wifi, as I didn't leave the house), I'm getting a much drastic drain.

I wanna ask you guys if you think this behavior is normal. Is it common to experience this kind of drain after messing with the internals?
