When ever I choose a zip file it flash until halfway and hang there and my phone reboot itself. I tried flash super su and it hang halfway also. I flash a stock rom oxygen os is hang at patching system unconditionally and reboot itself. As I know the rom had not been flash completely. And ideas? I bought a op3 from china. Really need help right now
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Explorer23:
Which TWRP are you using? Unofficial linked here (3.0.2-0) or official one (3.0.2-1)?

Try with official one if you haven't yet.

Also, try manually mounting /system partition in TWRP before flashing zips.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Abraham tan:
I am using the official twrp. Btw what do your mean by mounting / system partition? How do I do that. I keep on flashing and keep on hanging and reboot and no os is install.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Explorer23:
In TWRP select "Mount" (big button on home screen), then select system. Go back and try flashing ROM again.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Abraham tan:
What should I mount btw?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nerlim:
Excuse me, I no longer get into recovery (TWRP) are with Roma freedomos 1.7, when I try to go into TWRP, you start the OnePlus logo, and then nothing!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Explorer23:
After you press the "mount" button you'll see a list of partitions. Make sure that the "system" is ticked.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Abraham tan:
Okk will try later and will post here if it is working or not

Thanks :)

Which TWRP did you install? 3.5.2 requires a modified TWRP.

Anyone not able to restore Nandroid backups? I can boot into TWRP and flash, make backups, etc. However, after I restore one of my backups, my phone gets stuck in a boot loop with the OnePlus logo just flashing. Any fix?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Explorer23:
Had that problem, just dirty flash the ROM, it should boot then (and backup will be restored).
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] shanta:
I don't know if this was asked before but is there any system requirement for doing this!? I'm on Windows XP 32bit.

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mtpx7:
By saying ROM you mean the official 1+ os or restore backup in recovery?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Explorer23:
First restore the backup (you already did that), then dirty flash the the same ROM that you're trying to restore.

So if you're trying to restore a backup of OOS, download the official ROM and flash it over backup.

---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

Nope, no system requirements, you just need working ADB and fastboot - AFAIK this should work on any Windows, Mac and Linux.

Pro's and Con's rooting OnePlus3

Hi there,

I'm expecting my OP3 next week, before I had a Samsung which I've rooted. But what I miss in this thread is a list of pro's and con's of rooting the OP3. I've read about not be able to update OTA and losing Dash charging. Is there someone who can list the Con's ( and Pro's) for me, and other noobs, of rooting the OP3.

Thanks in advance,

Fred
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hw4ng3r:
For the vast majority of non-tweakers, the main reason for root is Xposed Mods and Titanium Backup. You can get complex and start removing apps you don't use (this could wreak havoc if you remove apps that other apps depend on so you should do some research before you do), tweak CPU/GPU, etc.

You will lose OTA, but that's not really an issue as custom recovery (TWRP) flashable zip files can be found around the time of the OTA release. Dash charging is not affected by root, you will have full Dash capabilities as long as you're using the correct charger and cable.

The only Con I see here is that you have to unlock the bootloader to flash a customer recovery (TWRP) and you will lose your phone data during the process of unlocking the bootloader. This shouldn't be a problem if you don't have your phone yet as you can do this as the very first step after you receive you phone. The only other thing some people are annoyed with is the fact that you will see a screen warning you that your bootloader is unlocked everytime you reboot your phone for 5 seconds. You can press your power button to dismiss the screen immediately.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] fretjes:
Thank you very much for the swift answer,

Seems to me that the reasons for rooting Oneplus3 are a lot less as for Samsung, probably because a lot less bloatware:good:

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] angdaminaman:
sorry if this question is noob.

but why is whenever i flash 3021 twrp in stock 3.2.6, then followed the instruction to manually reboot to recovery, then reboot to system. but when it booted up and rebooted to recovery, the stock recovery always comes back. well, rooting the device stops it from reverting. but i dont want to root. i just want to have a twrp in stock rom in case i wanted some modifications in the future.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NOSTALGIA:
press the right capacitive button.. and see if it resumes and finishes
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NOSTALGIA:
after flashing stock on twrp, flash twrp on fastboot
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] angdaminaman:
but sir, i already flashed it about 3 times in fastboot. and manually rebooted to recovery just to make sure twrp is still there. but whenever i reboot to system (no system mods, rootz etc) and then reboot back to twrp, it always goes back to stock recovery.

rooting or flashing customer kernels retain the twrp, but i cant make twrp stay if i have the official non moded OOS.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Abraham tan:
What do you mean how do I press the right capacitive. Can teach me I a newbie sorry
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NOSTALGIA:
while you were on that load screen while flashing that rom just press that dot that lights up on your phone just beside the fingerprint scanner
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Abraham tan:
So u mean when I i installing a zip from twrp I just press the right button? Or after flashing the zip? Because I can't flash anything it just stick halfway and power off and nothing had install.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] burgess_boy:
I am currently on 3.5.3 community build and would like to try a custom rom. I have yet to unlock bootloader, root device or install custom recovery. Are the processes for unlocking and rooting the same for the latest community build version albeit with the modded twrp recovery image. Looking to jump to freedom OS.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] R0N1N:
I have the same issue. After a reboot the twrp recovery is gone and stock is still there. TWRP will be there and usable until I boot into the OS, then after a reboot it is back to stock.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] angdaminaman:
i solved my problem.

make sure "allow system modification" is enabled in twrp.

as far as i can remember, it can be found at mount or the settings itself in twrp. dont want to reboot right now just to check because im testing my battery consumption.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NOSTALGIA:
good.. finally..
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] arshu16:
+1, In the same situation. Really confused as to what twrp to use.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Explorer23:
Unlock the bootloader, then follow the guide for switching between CE and stable ROM.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] burgess_boy:
I figured it out in the end.

The way I did it was to return to the standard build, done in the same way as installing the community build via adb commands. Then just followed the guide in this thread.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkSJ1998:
Got the device yesterday. It's awesome! Rooted it succesfully :P ( wouldv'e done yesterday only, but didn't have time)

Now I have 2 Beasts which are both developer friendly! YU Yureka (tomato) & now OnePlus 3 :D

Here's what I did:-

Enabled Developer Options > Enabled OEM Unlocking & USB Debugging

Unlocked BL

Flashed the Latest Official TWRP v3.0.2-1 & SuperSU v2.74 BETA linked in OP via it.

Had no issues regarding encryption/decryption though, still did a " fastboot format userdata " to decrypt the storage for the future ;)

Have some queries :

1. Can I flash the latest SuperSU Betas directly? Or need modified SuperSU zips?

2. If I upgrade to a newer OOS OTA via flashing full zips via TWRP, does it again encrypt the storage?

3. I read somewhere flashing normal SuperSU zips can again encrypt storage (which seems wrong enough to me)... Is it true?

4. I need to flash Xposed V85 ARM64 right? I'm asking coz I use ARM64 for tomato...

TIA ;)

Regards,

DarkSJ1998
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Explorer23:
1. You can flash any SuperSU version you want.

2. Yes, stock OOS will re-encrypt the storage on first boot (and it will take a while). To avoid this you have to use different kernel.

I'd suggest using FreedomOS instead of fully stock OOS anyways - it's a modified OOS with all debloating and additional features optional (AROMA installer). Stock kernel bundled with it is modified so it doesn't force encryption, but you can also use any other custom kernel. ElementalX is also included, but I prefer blu_spark.

3. No idea :/

4. Yes, ARM64 is the right one. And there's a newer version - v86.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkSJ1998:
Alrighty thanks! :D

I couldn't resist myself, so I flashed SuperSU latest yesterday only [emoji14] and it's working good....

And 3. has the ans " No ", flashing SuperSU doesn't encrypt anything...

And thanks again for the ROM suggestions... If I don't update OxygenOS, then it will be fine right? Coz I don't have the time to flash a ROM as of now...

4. Thanks! Will try it out ;) I'm using V85 on my tomato & it's working good... So I didn't update to V86 [emoji14]
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Charlie_Romero:
Hello,

I only did the following:

1. Unlocked booloaded

2. Installed TWRP

3. Installed Super SU

4. Installed Xposed

Didn't use Nandroid or any other backup app or any other thing. If you want it simple, you only need to do 3 steps above, of course, at your own risk.

I got my OnePlus 3 for few days.

It's there a way to flash any rom without reflashing recovery, or firmware?

All roms own different recovery & firmware?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ram4ufriends:
Recovery is standard for all ROMs..just flash twrp latest...firmware is one time and if you are already on 3.2.6 or 3.2.7..no need to flash the firmware....
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] CyanDroid:
Rooted TWRP CB3.5.4

I have enabled Encryption on my device.

Can someone explain me what is..

1. TWRP-- *"Keep system read only"*

I generally select "swipe to allow modifications"

2. When I try to change Pattern Lock under Security

It gives an option..

"Require pattern to unlock at start"

Does changing this reset my Encryption Password which appears at the beginning of boot?

3. I have read that Encrypted Device cannot be flashed with Custom ROMs as it will Lock Bootloader and brick it.. :rolleyes:
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] superiscch:
Got my OP3 back from repair for cracked screen. Offcourse they wiped everything, even recovery. I want to have TWRP back, but i can't access my fastboot. Tried to reinstall SDK en ADB... All i get is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot devices

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>

Any idea whats wrong?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Explorer23:
1. Self-explanatory, it doesn't allow to modify system partition. So you can't flash normal versions of SuperSU, Xposed, etc. (but you can use systemless versions)

2. Yes.

3. Complete bull**** ?. Many (probably most) users keep their devices encrypted and there are no issues with that.

And nothing will lock bootloader except "fastboot oem lock" command, which can't be done accidentally.

3.1. Bricking OP3 isn't even a problem - we have Qualcomm unbrick tool here on XDA so we can ressurect the device at home.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NTWarrior:
Has anyone else had trouble getting fastboot on Windows 10 to recognise the phone when in the bootloader? For me, it worked fine when the device was booted regularly but to unlock my bootloader and flash TWRP I ended up having to borrow an old Vista laptop (looks like other people have done it with Windows 7 VMs). Never had problems with my Nexus 5, but my laptop would have been on Windows 8.1 when I unlocked it.

I tried this guide but then I got

So I tried installing Koush's universal ADB driver and installing the OnePlus drivers through the OnePlus 3 toolkit (unlocking the bootloader directly through the toolkit didn't work either), and then the same Device Manager trick, but I still didn't get anywhere.

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gomezie:
So my memory is hazy as I was drunk at the time, but i had this issue on Windows 10 1607

To resolve this I had to do the following:

1. Disable driver enforcement in Windows 10 via advanced start options

2. Boot up into Windows and install the OnePlus usb drivers from the web or by connecting the phone by USB; Note that this install process will now prompt with a warning message that the OnePlus drivers are not signed (because enforcement is turned of) which doesnt normally appear with enforcement enabled.

3. Acknowledge that warning and install anyway.

4. The final step I had to take was in Device Manager I had to manually override the driver chosen by Windows.... it is called something like "Android Boot Loader device", and i changed this to "one plus bootloader device" which also had a warning notification to it.

After doing the above all worked fine, and my device could be detected during fastboot etc.

I read silly amounts of posts around universal adb drivers, usb2.0 vs usb3.0... all a wild goose chase lol

Hope that helps :good:
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Valiante:
I've been struggling for HOURS, constantly seeing tutorials where everyone is using Windows 10, who would have guessed that it was the actual problem. Seriously thank you so much.

For clarification, changing "Android Bootloader" to "OnePlus Bootloader" you have to navigate to the folder with the OnePlus drivers in it in using Device Manager (C:\Program Files (x86)\OnePlus USB Drivers) and click browse to see the contents of the folder. There you will see OnePlus Bootloader Device, or something of the sort.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gomezie:
You are very welcome mate

May I ask if you can elaborate on step #4? I can't seem to figure it out on Device Manager.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] shivam13:
I'll be able to help on this, as I did this just yesterday.

Please Disable driver enforcement in Windows 10 via advanced start options. If you don't know how, PM me and I'll send you the link as I can't post external link here.

In device manager, there will be "Android Phone" entry, If you have ADB drivers installed. If not, Install from OP.

Double Click on that, and select device that is Google ADB Interface. Right click, Update drivers and select Browse my computer.

Now click on "Let me pick from list of devices". Double click on show all devices (default selected)[If this doesn't show, skip this step]. Click "Have Disk". Browse to C:/Program Files (x86)[if 64bit OS]/OnePlus USB Drivers and select OnePlus_android_winusb.inf. Press OK, and It'll Install. Windows will warn that driver is not signed, select allow install.

Disconnect Mobile from PC. Restart both, then follow the procedure in OP.

Hi! Today I received this phone and it's awesome!

I have a question: I want to root my device and flash TWRP only, without flashing a custom ROM at the moment so I can use OxygenOS for a while.

Rooting and flashing TWRP will allow me to download the OnePlus official updates with OTA? Or I can't update the phone in that way?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] unease:
You may receive OTA but it will not flash as you no longer will have stock recovery. You would need to wait for TWRP recovery flashable zips which usually become available post 24-48 hours.

Hi,

I received my OP3 and installed community build 3.5.5 (downloaded from OnePlus support site) by adb sideload. Now I want to unlock and root it.

If I need to revert, is it just required to download 3.2.6/7 from OnePlus support page and install with adb sideload?
