So now that 4.0.3 is coming out, and have unlocked, flashed TWRP and rooted, I'm wondering if OTA still works, or will I need to flash to get new updates?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nine5raptor:
You will need to flash manually. OTAs only work on stock recovery and generally only with an unmodified system partition.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cannothas:
So I got this notification today, what do I do? Try it?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Explorer23:
No, it won't work if you're rooted. You can either unroot, update (OTA) and then root again, or keep your root and manually download full zip (1.4GB) and dirty flash it in TWRP. Your choice.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cannothas:
So woke up this morning and the update auto downloaded, says reboot to install. I'm guessing then the next reboot installs the OTA 4.0.3? I read another thread this wipes all my data. Either way, could you provide me with the link to download the full zip? The one in OnePlus forums is busted. Do I use the same superSU as when I rooted?

Or would unroot/update/reroot be easier?

Sorry, I'm a bit nervous that the update is ready to wipe the phone. I do have a TWRP backup from 2 weeks ago.

Edit: Tried the link on my PC and it works. Some reason, it will not work in OnePlus community app. :-/
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Explorer23:
Not sure about wiping part, I've never tried updating modified system.

And also don't have other links, I usually download from OnePlus official site ... Try searching the forum here, maybe someone made a mirror.

You can use the same SuperSU that you have already or you could use newer version if available. Just stick to stable releases.

Flashing whole ROM over current setup is easier method. Bigger download, but it's straightforward - download, flash ROM, flash SuperSU, done. And it always works.

Unrooting, updating, rooting again can still cause problems in updating process (OTA updates tend to fail sometimes). Also I'm not sure about recovery, some people say that you need to be on stock recovery for that ... so even more work.

What's the procedure to clean flash a ROM?

I'm on 4.0.3 dirty flash with twrp 3.0.4 , how do I clean flash ? Also will I loose twrp & super su after clean flash
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Explorer23:
Clean flashing means wiping your old ROM before flashing new one.

You will lose:

- root (SuperSU)

- apps

- other ROM data (settings etc.)

You will keep:

- personal files (pictures, music etc. Everything that is saved on /sdcard partition will stay there)

- recovery (TWRP)

Procedure:

- put necessary files on "internal storage" (/sdcard) - ROM.zip, SuperSU.zip, anything else you wanna flash (like custom kernel)

- reboot to recovery

- make a backup

- go to "wipe" and do factory reset or advanced wipe and manually wipe cache, dalvik, system and data (which is pretty much the same as factory reset). Do NOT wipe internal storage.

- flash ROM image

- flash SuperSU

- flash everything else you may have

- reboot to recovery (necessary to make sure TWRP doesn't get overwritten by stock recovery)

- reboot to system

That's it ☺️

Hi guys.

I'm getting error 7 trying to flash the latest 4.0.3 to dirty flash before a new kernel. Won't complete. Any help at all? Latest official TWRP or blu_spark yield the same result.

Not powering

I unblocked bootloader, and installed twrp a lot of times, and it worked well, but this time, my phone, after installing the twrp, and entering recovery, it shows the oneplus bootlogo, and then blacks out. Nothing happens. After plugging it with the dash charger, nothing happens. Tried to boot in system, bootloader, and recovery, and it doesnt work! Why?!:crying::crying:

I still haven't heard a reply for my previous post so I'll explain again hoping that people see it this time. I'm in the latest version of oxygen is and have trouble unlocking my bootloader. Last time I did it my phone shed me to give a password which I didn't even know which then led me to relock it and go back to an older version of oxygen and upgrade back to the latest. On my other phones I have never had this problem before so if someone can please help me, that would be great.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] myshu:
Oneplus 3 4.0.3 firmware and never unlocked/rooted

Procedure went like this

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot boot twrp.img

Wait for it to boot , allow system modifications

Mount SDCARD from twrp and upload magisk 11.1.zip

Flash the zip

reboot

Now you get stock recovery , stock firmware with superuser abilities. Only downside is the notification given on each boot saying you have an unlocked bootloader.

Other than that it works great.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] hj97:
Ok. I'll try later.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] hj97:
so now im having problems flashing twrp. whichever command i use ( fastboot boot or flash) the phone just shows a black screen for a long time. after this, i just switch the phone off and restart the phone. i dunno, am i supposed to wait even longer or what. the recoveries ive tried is the one in the opening post and twrp 3.0.2.0

Kindly add how to flash OOS , Open beta,, , what is the TWRP needed, DM verity etc . As I just came from Nexus 6 ( just bought OP3 Yesterday ) ,there was not such issues, only official or multirom TWRP simple flashing technique, but here OOS , OOS Openbeta and more things . This is spoon-feed, but I want to read and understand everything , but family and profession take more time than Android.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] snegom:
Where do you guys find the latest full ROM? I have searched a lot but not being able to find a link to any recent full ROM. Guess the ones on oneplus's website are all OTA'S.

What problems did you experience by doing a dirty flash?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Explorer23:

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] snegom:
Thanks. Do you know if I could expect problems by dirty flashing from Oxygen 3.2.8 (Android 6.0.1) to 4.0.3 or preferably Open Beta 12?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] c0dac0da:
Nope, there is no issues with dirty flash, but I would suggest a clean flash as it's a update from mm to nougat.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] snegom:
When flashing a new opo rom, do you then also have to flash gapps? Haven't read that anywhere, but after my upgrade from 3.2.8 to 4.0.3. none of the Google applications works any longer. Made a clean flash, ie factory reset before flashing the new rom, however went directly from 3.2.8 to 4.0.3
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ihuman007:
no u dont have to flash gapps seperately.. its included in the ROM. What do u mean google doesnt work? does it crash when u open it .. or does it not connect online ?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] snegom:
When I try to open for example gmail or maps nothing happens. Screen just flashing shortly and then nothing. But Google Fit is working, and the account is connected.

Can it be due to my Titanium Backup restore? I just restored all apps and data. Have tried to clear cache and de-activate/re-activate for example gmail without luck.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ihuman007:
i m pretty sure it is ... MM gapps are different from N gapps.. try a clean flash without restore.. should be fine ( setting up is a pain though :P)

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rk2612:
Has anyone been able to successfully relock their OnePlus 3 and retained data? I tried and have a warning screen at boot (...not the same as the bootloader unlocked) which says that the device cannot be trusted. Otherwise, it's pretty much a locked bootloader with a boot image that does not enforce dm-verity on the system and has an encrytable data partition instead of forced encrypt. I guess it is the customized boot image that causes the warning. [MENTION=5641921]Naman Bhalla[/MENTION], any way to get rid of that warning except for reverting back to stock boot?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Explorer23:
Re-locking bootloader when the software is not fully stock is VERY risky. You should be lucky you haven't bricked the device.

To put it simply, you can't run custom software and have locked bootloader.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rk2612:
Oh, I did end up in bootloops and soft bricks a couple of times but as long as the bootloader itself is functioning, you can always go back by flashing stock system and boot and starting afresh. Can't you? :fingers-crossed:
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Explorer23:
Sure, you can, you can even rescue this device from hard brick, as long as it's not physically damaged.

But still, why waste time with that when its known that you can't do something - i.e. use locked bootloader with anything but stock?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cannothas:
Please direct me to the right thread if this is the wrong place, I can't find a thread on it.

I need to go back to stock, and I'm rooted and have TWRP (and obviously unlocked bootloader). I'd like to just go straight to the 7.1.1 OTA if that's possible, but back to stock is a must.

I'm currently on 7.0.1 OOS 4.0.3.

Edit: finally found this. If there's a better way please let me know.

You need to boot to fastboot & flash twrp recovery
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] core720:
sorry, how remove warning bootloader mensagge?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nine5raptor:
You can't.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rk2612:
You can relock the bootloader and get rid of the message. You can either:

1. If the boot / system have been modified, revert back to stock and relock the bootloader.

OR

2. If you want to keep the modified boot / system, then you take advantage of a bug in the bootloader which skips verification if there is a size mismatch in the boot.img and its signature blob. To do this, you will need to append a valid format signature blob to the unsigned boot.img. If you are on Ubuntu terminal, try:

cat /path/to/your/modified-boot.img /path/to/your/new-boot.sign.blob > /path/to/your/signed-boot.img

And then simply flash this signed-boot.img using TWRP to your device. Then you can flash the stock recovery using TWRP (...or a similarly signed TWRP) and exit to fastboot to lock your bootloader. Of course, locking your bootloader will mean wiping your data. It is possible to avoid that as well but that'll require another post to explain or you can refer the discussion in the link above.

A sample signature blob for use with an unsigned boot.img is attached. If you have unpacked and repacked a boot image after making modifications yourself or simply rooted your device, then you should be having an unsigned boot.img. If you're unsure, you can also use the fakesign.zip referred in this post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71414464&postcount=2 to fake sign your modified boot.img.

And you can thank [MENTION=8104721]smaeul[/MENTION] and myself. Cheers,

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] TNSMANI:
After rooting and installing custom recovery, official OOS OTAs won't install. You will have to flash the full 1+ GB update manually. At that time, you can decide if you want OOS recovery or custom recovery.

You could also add modem and efs, just in case if you need them sometime later. But no need to restore those two when restoring ROM, use them only if they get corrupted.

Uninstall SuperSU or whatever root you now have. Flash Magisk (v12.0 works fine) via TWRP, reboot, install Magisk Manager v4.3.3 (app) and you are good to go.

In case of trouble try a clean install via TWRP: wipe without internal storage, flash ROM, (GAPPS) & than Magisk. Boot to system install Magisk Manager.

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] UnnamedFile:
Here's my report on the successful process: Before flashing TWRP, I did unlock/lock/unlock the bootloader, and only the first time I set up the fingerprint and device password, so after unlocking it the second time, there was no password set, but twrp asked me for one, so I entered the one I did use before, and it was accepted, and then I formatted userdata to decrypt it, and set up that part from scratch.

Another thing I noticed: With an unlocked bootloader, you get the "this device is unlocked" message at power on, and it asks you to press a button during a 5 second countdown to enter a menu where you can chose fastboot, recovery, power off etc. - however, selecting recovery in that menu doesn't work (at this time neither for stock recovery, nor for twrp). Instead, I have to let the 5 second countdown pass and then as soon as this screen is replaced with the 1+ logo, press the volume down button in order to enter twrp. Works every time, it's just something you have to know.

Other than that, I've been successful at flashing XPosed, installing the xposed framework installer, installing XPosed on the device, and installing XPrivacy into XPosed. Works like a charm!

(Now the fiddeling begins, what must be allowed for the intended functionality to work, while not exposing too much data about me to Google and other "Big Brethren").

The last step will be to import contacts (from vcf file or Nextcloud as soon as I get it set up) and inserting a SIM card or two into the device :)
