[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dude777:
Hi there,

A while ago I got a OnePlus One which came with ColorOS loaded. I of course googled my way to get the Cyanogenmod and followed these instructions.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDKOEtN9pbo

I'm currently on the 25R firmware and I know there are some updates after that but the phone doesnt detect any update release. I would like to know why the OTA updates are not being picked up from the phone. Was it simply the easy method mentioned above?

I also thought of reflashing it properly and found some instructions on the web.

Install Android tools (and drivers if you use Windows-crap). You need the fastboot and adb tools
Get http://dist01.slc.cy...ed-fastboot.zip and unpack it
Enable USB debugging on the phone
Run adb reboot-bootloader
Once bootloader started run: fastboot oem unlock
After automatic reboot, do steps 3 & 4 again
In the directory where you unpacked it, run in a console
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash dbi sdi.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash LOGO logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata_64g.img (or userdata.img for 16G version)
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot

These instructions will somehow get the OTA updates working, am I right to assume that this method would rewrite everything and I would lose the recovery software of the ColorOS? Also are the Android tools these?

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Fastboot and ADB, I can use this one right?

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dude777:
Hi scabbie, from the looks of the file its an incremental update. Do I just run it from the OPO with Cyanogenmod? If this is a long tedious method, I would rather do a fresh install and get the OTA updates to work. Also part of the reason I want a clean install is because the phone is acting up and my screen goes black when I call someone and then when I want to hang up the screen is still black and I cant hang up. and physical buttons dont respond either.

I dont know if this incremental update will fix this kind of problem, so hence my option to do some clean install.

Cheers

Learn as you go by doing things properly, I speak from my own experience. These skills and knowledge that you gain will help if you ever run into any issues :)

Go here to install the adb drivers computer wide so you can flash from any folder on your computer, it makes your life so much easier ;)

@ timmaaa

Love the guide you put up, I was having a read through this and I'm slightly confused on your comments. http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/ge...-to-guides-t2839471/post56731494#post56731494

You mentioned just go straight to Section 8, but in the link above you mentioned go through 1-4 then go to 8. I dont think I need to root on section 4 but for 1, 2 and 3, I would like to know, particularly in section 2 and 3 if you can explain to a novice like me. As I'm understanding this, I think the ColorOS phone has some recovery software, thats how I did the easy flashing method thing, so for section 2 your instructions will overwrite the ColorOS one?

For Section 3 the nandroid backup seems like a snapshot of the phone (which includes recovery, phone OS and other things) before installing custom rom?

Please let me know if my interpretation is correct and correct me along the way, I am here to learn what I can, so that I can successfully flash the OPO phone.

Cheers.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I was assuming that because you're on the 25R build of CM11S that you've already unlocked your bootloader and installed TWRP recovery, if this isn't the case then you will need to follow sections 1, 2, and 3 before moving on to section 8.

The phone definitely already has some kind of recovery on it (every phone does), but you do need to install a custom recovery in order to make a backup of your current ROM. It will overwrite the existing recovery when you install it, and then later on when you flash the fastboot images (in section 8) the stock recovery will overwrite the custom recovery. So why bother flashing the custom recovery if it'll just be overwritten? Because insurance. It'll allow you to make a nandroid backup of your current setup to fall back on just in case something goes wrong.

A nandroid is like a snapshot of the phone, but it doesn't include your recovery partition, it includes the /system partition (where the os resides), the /data partition (where your apps and settings reside), and the /boot partition (the kernel). You should always have at least one nandroid on your phone at all times. Personally, I make one before I flash anything, that way if I don't like whatever I'm flashing or if something goes wrong, I can just restore my backup and boot the phone up, and it's exactly how I left it.

After you've made your backup make sure you transfer it to your PC (and anything else important on the phone), because flashing the fastboot images is going to wipe your whole phone, including all of your user data.

If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dude777:
I see, so even if my phone doesnt have much inside it should still be recommended, because of the listed above are operational and if something were to happen on the newly flashed phone, I have no way of retracing my steps.

So in a hypothetical situation I unlocked the bootloader and proceed to section 2. The recovery software provided when I first got the phone will be overwritten by the TWRP recovery and I will have lost the old one. I will then perform a nandroid backup where I can preserve a last known working configuration as an insurance, if future flashes fail. I assume you restore nandroid backup through the TWRP recovery? Also the nandroid backup is made on the phone? so I will need to transfer that to my PC before flashing?

At this stage all I changed is the bootloader and recovery partition with custom recovery. When I jump to section 8 it should be smooth sailing, provided I follow them clearly and the drivers work on the PC.

I apologise for being a pain in the butt! I just like to clarify before I do something horrible and have no idea what to do next.

Cheers
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You do indeed restore a nandroid backup with the recovery that you made the backup with. And yes it is saved on the phone so you will need to transfer it to your PC. You're not being a pain in the butt, you're doing the right thing and researching before attempting something.

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ek69:
Yeah I agree users like you that research crap before attempting something are much preferred over users that blindly use a toolbox then come complaining cuz they messed something up but dunno how to fix it. I always do my research before flashing just like you are doing. Just make sure you install the drivers I linked to computer wide on your windows computer and you should have no problems, no need to install separate SDK for android and copy the files you're flashing into a special folder, etc

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dakeent:
Hey guys, android 5.0 has been causing many of my apps to crash. Before I installed it, I had to flash the stock rom 4.4.4 since it was rooted and had a twrp recovery. After successfully flashing the stock rom, I installed 5.0 through OTA. It's my third day with the new version and the problems are pretty bad; nearly all apps crash. I turned off my phone to see if restarting would help. After trying to turn it back on, the boot animation would be constantly running. I can get into fasboot mode but for recovery mode, there's a message saying "No command." The final problem is... I did not turn on USB debugging through the developer's options in the settings which means I can't flash/ downgrade to 4.4.4 or any other rom. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, my phone is basically a brick right now.

Thanks!

I´m running Android 4.2.2 and now want to update straight to Android 5.0. Is that possible or do I have to update successively from 4.3 and higher?

I have already tried flash the google factory image and got stuck on the spinning circles for hours. Have tried the wipe cache and factory data reset, but nothing happens. So got back to 4.2.2.

Any idea on how i can taste Android 5.0 in my Nexus 4?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jnewell05:
Are you using the Nexus 4? This is the Nexus 5 thread. However all you need to do is unlock the bootloader then run the install for the factory 5.0 and wait like 15 mins for it to boot up the first time. If you want to keep data then that's a whole different story as flashing the factory image wipe contents of your sdcard. ALL OF IT!!

Thanks for the answer! I was just wondering if there is any problem in updating it straight from 4.2.2 to 5.0. I'll try couple of times more and hope to get any luck!

Hi,

If you've flashed a rom not made for your exact device, you could be in trouble. That can brick almost any device.

I can not find anything relevant on XDA for your device and issue though, so you will need to ask for help here,

- The hex code for the themes color is

#FF22dbd6

- To enable DD battery instead of stock battery go into TSM PARTS and in statusbar settings change the battery from 4.4 bat to 4.3 image battery.

- When flashing any of my themes if your already currently running a Sick Made theme then there is no need to wipe or flash on a clean install of the rom... just simply flash the theme! This only applies to themes that are on the same build of course.

[/COLOR]Hey SICKMADE - this theme is continually blowing my mind! Having flashed it pretty soon after it was posted, I still regularly notice small elements you've altered that make me pause and appreciate the level of detail in this theme! Also re: appreciation, thanks so much for sharing the color code in one of the OPs. I'm really big on "UI consistency", and the likelihood that I'd have been able to perfectly match that killer blue for a few elements is super low; it just looks so much better overall being able to get an exact match for a netspeed meter that I've got on the far left of the statusbar and particularly on some UCCW widgets I've made.

A couple questions: would flashing the VOLTE icon that [MENTION=4304825]foreverloco[/MENTION] made (the one that replaces the red & green arrows with just text, HD Voice be expected to cause any problems? I normally just do that after flashing any theme, but I read your OP as being pretty adamant about not "mixing" ILL with anything from other themes, so I just wanted to check if flashing something minor like that HD Voice .zip on top of your theme would have any horrific consequences, ya know, like altering all the #FF22dbd6 to #FF22dbd7... HELL NO!!

Second question: have you come across in fonts in [MENTION=4644111]cbucz24[/MENTION]'s massive pack that can be installed with Tweaked that "compliment" this theme well? I've been going through them, and have some contenders.... I'm thinking that something similar but not quite as bold as the keyboard font would work well. My "go to" fav in that pack is Ultima Mod, but it doesn't really "fit" with ILL at all. Just wondering if there are any that you would you would recommend I check out?

Thanks again man, this is the first theme of yours that I've run and I'm

super

impressed :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SICKMADE:
Good lookin brother I appreciate the kind words.... cause of people like you is why I decided to start sharing my work in the first place... as far as foreverlocos data themed icon zip as long as it doesnt flash like say the whole systemui which I doubt it would but I dont even really know where exactly that icon is at I havent looked but I would assume its just a vrtheme in that case it wont hurt at all... about a certain font I personally always use SonySketch.. I been using that font for what seems like forever now. Everytime I try something new I always go back to Sony Sketch. Try it out if you havent before it looks really good!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jazzmachine:
Thanks buddy! I do recall that HD Voice zip definitely is a vrtheme, so that should be straight. It's about time for a fresh nandroid anyway, so I'll be good either way. Man, your theme played a big role in my decision to bail on my "solid, locked-down" plan to trade my Note 3 for a regular 4"... that was the very same day I learned about the super-impressive group of devs who had already upgraded / decided to go with the Edge... a day or two before [MENTION=4041997]dwitherell[/MENTION] made his 'official' announcement! I can't even tell ya how happy I am to have ended up holding on to my super-ILL Tweaked Out N3 for the time being! I really avoided some major regret there and my enjoyment of ILL was a major factor in my decision to bail on the N4 at the time... huge thanks bro!

Ya I'm planning on getting my edge this week... funny because I was planning on the edge from the very very beginning so it was cool to see dwith was getting it and everyone else.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jazzmachine:
Seriously man, awesome to hear that you're going that way as well! Not sure if you've come across my posts in a couple of other threads re: my thoughts on the Edge, but to summarize them, it really struck me as a device that I "wanted to want" - seeing massive potential for productivity/multitasking improvements, but pretty much crossed it off the list after learning about Samsung's super-weak / limited "native implementation" of the stock Edge bar. The hardware and unique style made the whole thing kind of frustrating, since it was a cool / (esp.) different device, and had a ton of potential if someone capable would get their hands dirty and thoroughly "fix" it, but I really didn't expect that to happen with it's "niche" device status and all. So, just last week, I decided that I was "totally committed" to upgrade to the regular Note 4, even locked down a solid plan to hang out at my local store so that I could be there when a shipment arrived so that I'd be able to select one lacking any flaws among a bunch of units... but (as I mentioned) ended up bailing at the last second, later got kind of pissed that I had done so, then "got over it" and was glad I had held onto my N3, then (hilariously) literally at the exact same time, received a list via PM from a good buddy, while it was still all kind of "on the dl" (a day or two before D "officially" announced that he'd decided to upgrade to the Edge), containing a "definite / confirmed", super impressive list of devs who had decided on the Edge (including D).

So that was was... kind of a wild ride! It definitely all worked out for the best though and learning that all of you guys were going to be tearing up the Edge Is actually a far more exciting prospect than you and everyone else continuing their work on the regular N4, so I definitely think that you and all the devs moving over to the Edge made a great choice, and also settled a confusing internal debate for me (I mean, I really love my N3, and I'd actually totally fine keeping it until more "innately obvious" desirability-wise options are available, but, I've got the 'old' version of the JUMP program, which pretty much equals 2 free yearly upgrades; use em or lose em - so it makes much more sense financially to upgrade at both yearly opportunities vs. passing any up).

So sweet man! Def looking forward to seeing you over in the Note Edge forums :good:

Oh yeah, confirmed, no prob flashing a small vrthreme .zip like the HD voice/ditch the totally inconsistent red & green arrows. Just a small, not always present icon, I know... but I wonder if anyone, ever, has thought that thing looks remotely "good"? So much better / consistent now :)

I feel you!! I'm not just saying this because it's my theme and I made it I'm just being honest when I say I really honestly haven't seen another theme that can touch this one! I'm thinking on releasing a V2 but what I don't want to do is start making changes and then over doing it and then lose the look it had now which is pretty much simple, but very detailed, and doesn't over do it with theming too much in terms of making all icons blue and so fourth which I will easily start doing when making a theme. I went into this theme telling myself that I am gonna leave a majority of the icons just plain white instead of what I usually do which is theme all the icons whatever color the theme is and on some of my past themes I look at them and think to myself that I over did them.....that I themed too much! So that's why I think this theme came out so dope is because of where i chose to implement the Tiffany blue. Like the keyboard for instance..... I love the keyboard! I'm gonna release a v2 tho and I'm adding a blurred pulldown background and a few other surprises!
