The only benefit would be the volte capability with the 3.5.6 modem but that's it..

To my experience the new modem is actually worse in regards to overall reception (especially indoors) and some custom roms have even issues with random reboots..

So it's only worth to upgrade when you're using volte otherwise it's not
[OnePlus 2 General] kallekula33:
Great, thanks for the information. Then I will definitely not update my phone since the carrier I use does not have VoLTE anyway.

There's always a chance something could go wrong but it should be fine.

Hey everyone :) how we all doing today?

I was hoping for a little help, the search feature threw up LOAD of stuff that I just couldn't get my head around, so I thought it best to ask and hope that for every 5 people who told me to search, 1 person may help me out.

As u can see, I am a long way back and i wanna upgrade now. So here are my questions.

Firstly, if I take a full Nandroid back up, and everything goes wrong, will my back up get me 100% back to where I was?

Secondly, I do enjoy the benefits of Xposed framework, so which is the best combination of OS to Xposed for maximum compatibility?

Lastly, I also haven't updated TWRP in quite some time, not even sure which version I'm running. What is the best, fully working, version to be on?

Thank u, and many +1's to anyone who helps me.

Sent from my brain, via my thumbs, onto the screen of a OnePlus Two input device
[OnePlus 2 General] TioCareca:
First, in theory yes, you can always restore a nandroid and go back to where you was, sometimes something can go wrong, but its better to have it, beside that you can backup your apps with titanium..

After that and before you go any further, keep a copy of your files in a pc too...

Second, any rom untill Marshmallow can use Xposed without problems, Nougat as no Xposed yet...

Lastly, TWRP is your first thing to do, so you better upgrade twrp first, the last version is 3.0.2.2 but you can always use Hybrid recovery, i never used hybrid so can't really say anything about it...

Hope it helps...
[OnePlus 2 General] Spannaa:
Usually, yes, but it depends on what you do after you take the backup...

The important partitions, system and data are backed up along with a few others that aren't really necessary. The data partition backup doesn't include your internal storage though, so this needs backing up manually.

There's an option in TWRP to backup your EFS partitions but this doesn't backup the correct partitions so these, along with the persist partition, need backing up manually too.

To be 100% sure you can get back to where you were if something major goes wrong you'd need:

A copy of the full OOS rom zip (for firmware)

A copy of the rom you're running

A copy of TWRP 3.0.2-2

A nandroid backup of system & data

A backup of your internal storage

A backup of your modemst & persist partitions

A regular, scheduled Titanium Backup of just user apps, their associated data, call logs, mms/sms messages and wifi access points is also useful if something is wrong with the nandroid and you have to clean install.

Im now on oxygen 3.5.6 with unlocked bootloader, lastest twrp & root, is there any flashable zip to go from 3.5.6 > 3.5.8 or i need to flash all system through recovery?
[OnePlus 2 General] nexus_vl:
In op are incremental zips and full rom links
[OnePlus 2 General] Spannaa:
Just flash the 3.5.8 signed flashable zip followed by the modified SuperSU zip.
[OnePlus 2 General] Exanies:
When i try to flash this zip it get this error : "/system/app/Drive/pat/arm64/Drive.odex" has unexpected contents.
[OnePlus 2 General] Spannaa:
It'd be useful if you mentioned which zip you flashed, what rom you flashed it over and anything you flashed after you flashed the rom

I'm happy to help, but if you don't give me more to work on, any solution would be just a guess.
[OnePlus 2 General] Exanies:
I flashed this zip > Oxygen OS 3.5.6 > Oxygen OS 3.5.8: OnePlus2Oxygen_14_OTA_027-029_patch_1703131134.zip (and i get this error ^^)

after flashing the rom i installed supersu through recovery and xposed framework on system but i uninstalled it already :b
[OnePlus 2 General] Spannaa:
And were you rooted before?

You can always update by flashing the signed flashable zip.
[OnePlus 2 General] Exanies:
I tried to flashing this zip 3.5.6 > 3.5.8 with rooted device, after fail i unrooted my device and tried installing again this zip but without succes :/
[OnePlus 2 General] Sam Nakamura:
Just use the full signed flashable zip of 3.5.8...

OTA is difficult cause unroot alone is useless sometimes if you made changes to system partition..

The full zip should always work

download
[OnePlus 2 General] cowgaR:
What's the baseband version? Read that it didn't change hence no reason to flash for those on LineageOS.

3.5.6 & 3.5.7 radios don't work well with LOS 14.1 so I was hoping for radio upgrade. Seems fix for network drop was in Oxygen OS rather than in radio layer.
[OnePlus 2 General] Sam Nakamura:
3.5.8 baseband

Edit:

My personal impression is a increased signal strength, I was reverting from 3.5.6 to 3.1 but 3.5.8 is actually a way better experience, using it on ressurectionremix without volte.

If you flash the unofficial only firmware zip from post 2 (without rom) it's also not much of an hassle, flash (40mb) reboot & done...
[OnePlus 2 General] windongg:
the baseband of 3.5.8 is the same as 3.5.7
[OnePlus 2 General] Prinjal Dave:
Yes
[OnePlus 2 General] Sam Nakamura:
OK, as I wrote, I was on 3.5.6 only a short time, never on 3.5.7, is 3.5.6 & 3.5.7 also equal?

It probably should as 3.5.7 was just a imei fix, there's still a two possibilities left (in my mind) A) some kind of internal revision without changing the version number B) a placebo effect.. But using it the second day it has significant better reception for me, especially the indoors problem is solved, where I had one bar only I now have full for most parts, even settings sim status shows better reception.. It somehow works for me
[OnePlus 2 General] leohussey:
Yes they are. 3.5.6 = 3.5.7 = 3.5.8

the .bin file inside the RADIO sub dir of the .zip files is identical on those 3 versions...
[OnePlus 2 General] Sam Nakamura:
As said it works definitely better than 3.5.6 for me, could be due to rom sided changes though... But still I wonder how they archived "permanent network drop fix" then - could of course also be a rom sided change but I always was the opinion that the new volte modem is faulty..

Unfortunately we won't get any official statements on this

Edit: I saw you mentioning at least some differences, maybe some can tell about its relevance.. see here
[OnePlus 2 General] Spannaa:
The radio (static_nvbk.bin) may be the same but the radio firmware (NON-HLOS.bin) is different...
[OnePlus 2 General] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
Hey Spanna,

[OnePlus 2 General] Sam Nakamura:
Hey [MENTION=2948558]Spannaa[/MENTION], sorry for bothering you again but I'm trying to get this clear for myself, isn't the modem supposed to be updated by flashing the unofficial firmware zip? Is [MENTION=6867077]leohussey[/MENTION] right with his above statement? Thanks Mate :)

It flashes the radio first, followed by the other firmware.

Hey,

I am new to flashing and all this stuff. I am currently Using Lineage OS 14.1 (From 3.5.6 Firmware). So, If i flash the 3.5.8 firmware only file from TWRP, Will i lose all my data and apps? And will i have to reflash Lineage OS and Gapps???

Also i am facing the network drop bug so will Flashing Firmware only 3.5.8 Fix these problems????

Thanks in Advance.

(Sorry for being a noob)
[OnePlus 2 General] mackhenri:
Since u are using 14.1 just flash the firmware zip 3.5.8...no data loss and no need to reflash

Some have reported stable network and for some it's the same and it's devs have compared it with the previous firmware zips no change in modern..

So I assume the drops will still be there but a little better then before.

Unless u won't try it u won't learn and we all have been new to this stuff once upon a time..
[OnePlus 2 General] gunjanshah90:
So just Download that 42 Mb firmware only 3.5.8 And just Flash it normally with TWRP and Wipe the Cache and Dalvik, Right?

This wont affect my Lineage OS or my Data?

Just a lil scared to lose all the data.

Thanks for ur help Dude!
[OnePlus 2 General] mackhenri:
Yes the OOS 3.5.8, Firmware zip

Always be advised... Make a backup before flashing anything
[OnePlus 2 General] Sam Nakamura:
Spannaa clearly showed a different radio firmware to be flashed with 3.5.8..

see
[OnePlus 2 General] mackhenri:
Opps misread the post but has anyone tested it on jio is it fixed or better...

Anyways I would be trying it today
[OnePlus 2 General] Sam Nakamura:
I don't use Jio or volte in general, but why not trying yourself?

The overall performance regarding signal strength and indoor connectivity improvement noticeably for me..

Feedback on oneplus forums for 3.5.8 is also way better than on the previous versions..

It wouldn't be hard for you to modify it though, you just need to update the three partition references in the updater-script and restore.bat files.

I apologize if this has been asked and answered, but it's hard to find specific info in a thread so large. I'm going to use the Unofficial Oxygen OS Fastboot Zips, since I basically just want to get rid of everything I've done and start with a fresh phone. I've downloaded the most recent zip and extracted it, but I'm not sure exactly what to flash. I was going to wipe everything with

fastboot erase system -w

so should I still use the flash-all file? And if so, I've never flashed a .bat file, is it done the same way as an image, or are there different steps?

After that, do I just need to flash system.img, or are there other important images I should be flashing?

Thanks so much!

I was on 3.1.0 firmware and CM13 till today, but decided to update to Nougat with latest Oxygen firmware for VoLTE.

I flashed the 3.5.8 firmware, flashed latest LineageOS and booted but didn't get VoLTE to work. I tried multiple Nougat based ROMs which work fine for others but no VoLTE for me on any of them. Do I need to specifically flash the entire Oxygen 3.5.8 zip (>1 GB one?) to get VoLTE to work?

My baseband version shows this - MPSS.BO.2.6.2.c1-00072-M8994FAAAANAZM-1.82470.1

Does this correspond to 3.5.8 one?

hi guys,

has anyone successfully rooted 5.1.1 with this method?

I'm using e500h, followed all the steps and stucked at Samsung logo after installing supersu.zip.

what I did...

1. Upgraded to 5.1.1 via odin using India firmware.

2. Flashed twrp, no problem found.

3. Flashed the latest stable supersu, stucked at Samsung logo.

4. Flashed the lastest beta supersu, same problem.

Even if I installed supersu via Play, it said the phone must be rooted manually first.

Now I'm back to kitkat :(

Any idea guys?
