Can't you just copy the OOS zip to internal storage to apply update / flash the file from stock recovery? (apply from local)

Download the OOS file from oneplus download page if needed

- - - - - - - - - - -

Also you wouldn't have needed to use the MSM-download-tool in my opinion, not for bootloop - reflashing OOS from recovery, maybe factory resetting it before should be sufficient... The MSM-download-tool is for bricked devices which refuse to start, without recovery available...

Hello I am currently running nougat RR ROM (unofficial). instead of using twrp as a recovery, I flashed oneplus hybrid recovery. Now I want to try lineage Oreo ROM. Can I flash it through hybrid recovery ? Are there any problems or twrp is must ?

Hi, wondering if someone could help me please.

Whenever i look at device information under bootloader it says : Unknown

Is this something to be concerned with ?

Any help much appreciated

Thanks
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
No, that's no problem, it only means the app cannot fetch the information... The only devices this app (and similar apps) could ever read the bootloader version was on my Nexus devices, on all others it just fails...

---------- Post added at 06:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 AM ----------

Hybrid TWRP is pretty old, I think it's based on twrp 3.0.2 and is in general no longer needed, it's from a time many people had issues flashing firmware / bootloader, custom ROM vs OOS but all those issues are history now, that's probably the case hybrid TWRP wasn't updated any longer...

I suggest you to read the OP of the ROM you consider to flash, if anything besides official TWRP is necessary you'll find a recommendation there.

Hi XDA Geeks,

I am vicky and I am a big fan of XDA forum and have been constantly following the latest topics.

Now I desperately need help from you as my phone is not booting to home screen .Please reach out to me on my whatsapp no:9739704203 . Your support is highly appreciated.

I am very much excited about the community support from all over the world. Really you guys are doing amazing job. recently I am facing one issue with Oneplus 2 which happened as mentioned below. I can't loose my data at any cost.

before the problem

My phone was working fine even though I had rooted it. I installed busybox recently and layers for theme change. Once i installed one theme for layers application( for layers busybox was mandatory). It asked me to reboot to see the changes. But once i reboot my phone didn't go to home screen and the welcome logo was was rolling again and again.

Condition of my phone.

1) fastboot is working

2)ADB can't work as usb debugging was turned off by me earlier as the popup of USB debugging was annoying

3)i have installed TWRP

Note: I need some way to flash using fastboot only. if recovery can be done without flashing it is also fine.Is there any way to uninstall the app which created this issue from command line.

I need some ways to keep my all the data(pics,movies, apps, app data) and flash oxygen os 3.6.1 from Oneplus official site without bricking my phone.

If there's any other way to uninstall layers or busybox and if it works after uninstalling , it is also fine. But if that doesn't work I am ready to flash but need to safeguard data. I have only option using fastboot. And i don't know how to manually enable usb debugging from command line. There are options in TWRP to wipe data, system,dalvik cache and cache. Also please explain what is difference between

data and Internal storage. Please help me guys as I am having very difficult time as i had many important things which I can't loose. I will be sending you screenshot of my phone later on. Thank you in Advance :) I will send u my phone screen shot later as my internet connectivity is poor now. Guys please please help.

Can you boot into recovery (TWRP)?

What theme did you install?

Layers like substratum for OnePlus 5

---------- Post added at 07:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 AM ----------

Yes I can boot into recovery twrp but need to copy oxygen rom to SD card as well
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
Data = /data = system and app data

Internal storage = /data/media = music, pictures, downloads, etc.

As your recovery is still working you can try to manually delete the overlays you attempted to install...

Reference:

Fixing bootloops caused by a incompatible/bad layer from TWRP:

Step 1: Go to Advanced.

Step 2: Go to file manager.

Step 3: Go to /system/vendor/overlay/ and remove the bad overlay apk
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spannaa:
If you flash the recovery zip(s) located in the substratum folder on your internal storage, this will remove all of the overlays and revert you to the stock theme.

You should then be able to boot system.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vickybindass:
Hi , can u tell me how to copy stock rom to phone's internal storage without adb push? And can you pls tell me how to take backup of everything specially data and app data on my phone without using adb mode .And Last thing is is there any way to delete the apk file after which the problem started. If with no option ,I have to flash then what all I can wipe except my data. And you mean /Data has both app and app data. Suppose I have ACR and some recordings I am keeping , wiping /Data will wipe off both app and the recording also or only app ?:)

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

I don't have substratum app,you misunderstood my point. Layers is a Android apk for applying various theme on top of native theme. I just told you layers is like substratum. And I have 2 challenges here. Pls tell me how I can manually enable USB debugging .And how I. An copy stock rom to internal storage of phone without adb push. I just want to restore my phone to previous state where it was working fine if I have to summarize my whole discussion. My WhatsApp no:+919739704203,pls share your WhatsApp no .I can clarify all your queries if you have misunderstood me. Thank you for your prompt response. :)
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spannaa:
I don't do WhatsApp!

What's the app called that you used to install the layers? Is it Layers Manager?

If so, [MENTION=7125933]Sam Nakamura[/MENTION]'s method of deleting your layers via TWRP's file manager should work and, if you do this, your phone should boot.

Re: Transfering files to and from your device without using adb push/pull - if you boot into TWRP, does your PC see your device? If it does, you can copy your data to your PC and your rom to internal storage of your device.

I don't think you can enable USB debugging without booting the device and turning on the switch but does adb work when your booted into TWRP?

You could use fastboot to flash just the system image from an unofficial Oxygen OS fastboot zip - wipe data, system & both caches via TWRP but don't wipe internal storage, then fastboot flash -S 512M system system.img

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Your recovery should have a "reboot" option or a "reboot system" option.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazpachu2:
I can't get TWRP to load. When I press Vol up + Power buttons, I always get the Fastboot Mode screen :(

I've tried with all the versions (from the newest until 3.0.2.0) from here: dl.twrp.me/oneplus2

It seems to be installing it correctly:

./fastboot flash recovery /Users/gazpachu/Downloads/recovery.img

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

sending 'recovery' (31744 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.713s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 1.264s]

finished. total time: 1.978s

What am I doing wrong?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
I don't remember the OP2 that good anymore but what does the other key combination do? Vol+ and Power was recovery and Vol- and Power bootloader/fastboot or was it the other way around? I mean what does the other option, just to be sure you don't confuse the combinations...

As workaround you can do following right after flashing (terminal output looks good by the way);

"Fastboot boot (instead of flash) recovery twrp.img"

This will boot into TWRP from there you can use TWRP's reboot option to reboot to recovery, then when it boots successfully into TWRP it should stick and be fully usable...
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazpachu2:
Hi Sam,

Thanks for replying. Vol down + power boots in a screen with the following options (I'm not sure how it's called this screen):

- Install from local

- Install from USB

- Wipe data and cache

- Advanced

- Reboot

I will try what you mentioned about Fastboot boot (instead of flash), although I renamed the TWRP file to recovery.img rather than twrp.img
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
Of course you interchange the name with whatever you named the file...

The second screen you described is stock recovery, so you'll need this combination after flashing TWRP to enter TWRP, NOT the one you used before...
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liores121:
hey guys.

im new to this stuff, but i realized im able to change rom so my phone performance will run smoother.

for now im having Oxygen 3.6.1 and android vr 6.0.1 (the one that comes with the phone)

Im having troubles in playing heavy games (like PUBG)

which ROM recommended for games??

and may i have a guide how to change it? (not familiar with this)
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
To do so you should read and understand this:

https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...wrp-root-nandroid-efs-backup-and-more.345478/

However a well build custom kernel for your OOS version would probably do the job, boeffla kernel has the ability to unlock the full frequencies of the SD810 (it was was throttled by OnePlus)

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-2/orig-development/kernel-boeffla-kernel-05-10-2015-t3218164/page1

there are also some nice performances oriented profiles for this kernel available...

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-2/general/unofficial-boeffla-kernel-profiles-t3289395/page1

Otherwise you could go with a well supported and maintained ROM like lineageOS, this should enhance performance on the device too...

https://download.lineageos.org/oneplus2

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-2/orig-development/rom-lineageos-15-x-oneplus2-android-8-x-t3741272

But let me tell you that there's no magic switch, you'll have to research, read in the topic and be careful as those kinds of actions could bring you into situations where your device won't properly boot, etc.

If you follow the instructions correctly you should be fine though...

Good luck!
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liores121:
first of all - thanks alot !!

now, i was searching and reading and everything...

its looks much more complicated then i remembered

if i understand right, lineage ROM just need to get downloaded and installed on the device, in different the other ROMs you suggest that need to get kernel flash and etc..

am I right?

and does lineage ROM is enough for running heavy games? (in other words, does it have better performance ingame?)

thanks!
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
It's pretty universal, you do unlock the bootloader (before anything do backup photos and data on your device as the bootloader unlock will delete your internal storage) install TWRP (again backup important partition like EFS as described in the unlock guide), then the easiest way would be to just flash a custom kernel for your oxygenOS version to get increased performance you'll need to configure the kernel settings to a performance oriented profile. Or you flash a custom ROM (I suggest you official lineageOS), all custom ROMs are installed equally, they all include a custom kernel, system, etc., so it's not different to install lineageOS than anything else...

It might look complicated at first but it actually isn't, at least when you go slow to find your way around
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liores121:
before i get started i have downloaded:

TWRP -3.2.1-0 oneplus2.img

lineage-15.1-20180521-nightly-oneplus2-signed

BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328-forced-systemless

beside the ROM itself, i understand i need to install GAPPS as well,which isn't mentioned in the guide (https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...wrp-root-nandroid-efs-backup-and-more.345478/)

where i get it from?

and there is any more "simple" guide to get start with? im afraid to miss some important stuff...

thanks!

UPDATE - i installed the ROM (lineage15.1) but i couldnt install GAPPS its says "error 20" - tried 8.0 and 7.1 and still dont let me install it. what do i do?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
Well done so far :highfive:

You'll need a gapps package from here:

https://opengapps.org/

choose according to your device's architecture 64bit, android 8.1 (-> lineageOS 15.1 equals android 8.1) and I suggest you to use nano (bare minimum with Playstore, Google play services, Google search and assistant, battery health service), install the rest from Playstore once you booted up, important is to flash ROM, GAPPS (and SuperSU or Magisk) in one session without reboot, means you should go back to TWRP -> wipe -> advanced wipe and check all but internal storage, this means you clean flash again with gapps for best results...

I suggest you to use Magisk instead of SuperSU, it's open source, innovative and offers so much more but this isn't really important for now
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liores121:
i will try it right now

i tried to install the 64 before and its crashes all the time (pops up a windows that says google play stopped)

will update soon

when flashing now , i need to flash the ROM again and the GAAPS or only GAAPS??
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
Please read my previous comment again, full wipe and flash again everything at the same time...
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liores121:
DONE!

for now everything works included google play !

thanks for everything!

one more question - how do i restore phone numbers?....
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
If you mean your contact list, this works usually automatically if you saved them to Google on your previous system, you can check out the contact app's settings to see if you can sync with Google, if you haven't synced the contacts before you only can check your SIM for stored contacts...

any suggestion?

and the GPS mark is on all the time - even when im not using it and the GPS is off

theres app or service the using it or something?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
I absolutely recommend the EFS backup zip from Spannaa's thread (last entry of the 2nd post under "utilities"), flash it in recovery, this will copy the EFS backup to your SD card, from there zip it and upload it to G-drive and to your computer, in case you need the worst place to store it is on the device...

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-2/general/rom-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-roms-ota-t3209863/page1

I assume you haven't gained superuser permissions with the terminal emulator, type "su", grand root privileges and try again...

No idea about GPS though
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liores121:
everything is OK.

did backup and everything..works good!

one final question - there is an option to boost performance for games??
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
Check the OP2 forums for a nice custom kernel, I suggest this one:

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-2/development/kernel-gravity-kernel-t3773289

as it should be compatible with lineageOS 15.1 and supports spectrum, flash the kernel and go to Playstore, download:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.frap129.spectrum

then you can choose between certain profiles, just switch to performance when gaming and to balanced for day to day usage - simple and effective...

If ever a game complains about root use magisk, it has to the wonderful ability to hide root and a unlocked bootloader from certain apps...
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liores121:
so basically all i need to do is to go to TWRP recovery and to flash NoGravityKernel?

and Spectrum app is only for managing btw gaming and daily use?...

just want to be sure i understood correctly.

What do you mean by "hid function"?

Kernel and ROM should usually match in android version and source code (aosp vs lineageOS, android 6 vs 7 vs 8), compatability information is also given in the 1st post of the corresponding kernel thread, it should state there for what it is intended...

how do i fix this? i need some solution because the phone is my primary working tool ..

thank you!
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
Usually you do a backup in TWRP before flashing a update to have something to fall back to in case of issues, there're several approaches you can do now,

-backup what you have (sufficient is system, data and boot to have a working TWRP backup) to secure your current data

-boot back to TWRP and Wipe system, cache and Dalvik/ART cache before you reflash lineageOS & GApps, if this does not work...

-clean flash to see if it isn't a faulty build

-dirty flash the previous working version of lineageOS and wait for the next update, so you have at least a working phone in the meantime

Good luck!
