Hi,

Yes, restoring a nandroid backup will wipe properly your partitions before restoring them.

But.... If you have a lockscreen code or some fingerprint set-up, there is a bug that makes your code not recognized after you restore a backup. You need to flash the attachment to get rid of this (it clears some of your old keys, you can check the script, it's basic).

Finally, as long as you flash the proper firmware version that is compatible with your rom before you restore a nandroid backup, you're good. It's usually written on your rom OP which firmware to use.

Im unable to flash any kernel on my RR nougat. Im on bluespark latest recovery. Do i need another recovery?

I could do it earlier bit not now..
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] easyrider77:
Thank you kind sir. Yeah I ran into that issue and found a link about how to remove the password. It works like a dream. I went from stock 8.0, to freedom OS 8.0 and both had passwords on the nandroid backup. I used the fix and deleted the files and rebooted into system and it worked like a dream.

I need to rremove my password now and make another nandroid.

I had one last question concerning nandroids.

I have searched google on moving or copying the nandroid the the pc, and some say make a direct backup using adb or twrp and then use the same process via twrp or adb to tranfer it back to the phone.........some say you can copy the folder over to the pc and then just copy it back over to the phone if you ever want to use said nandroid.

So my question is, will a simple copy to the pc and copy back to the phone via drag and drop on the pc (like moving files on the pc) will that work when I go to restore the nandroid or is the adb/twrp way the only way?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Anghirrim:
Yes, copy and paste will work.

Hi, I am unable to install open beta ROM on my OP3. I tried installing Open beta 30 and even 29 both through going to system update then selecting local upgrade and then selecting the zip file but after it reboots to recovery it shows installation failed.

I even tried by manually going into recovery, selecting install from local storage then selecting the zip file but I get the same error.

I am running OOS 5.0.1 stock recovery or simply put latest pure stable OTA.

Any help would be appreciated!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] famessi410:
Okay, so after updating my OnePlus 3 to OOs 5.0 and 5.0.1, I thought this issue would get resolved, but it still persists. Apparently, while I was on marshmello, I had some wifi networks saved(five to be more specific), and as soon as I updated it, I can't keep more than 5 wifi networks, yes, the same networks that I had saved on MM.

From the forums I've read, it says that it's because while doing the OTA, I should've cleared the cache first because the previous cache is causing these problems. I've tried clearing the cache a lot of times, but this problem is still there. Is there any other way to fix it other than factory resetting it? Because, I have a lot of data that I can't transfer and a lot of settings and passwords, which I don't want to input and set again.

Any kind of help would be appreciated.

OP3 wont boot. Just notification white LED

After OxygenOS 5.0.1 OTA updade the capacitive button and fingerprint sensor stop to work. I use the password instead (fingerprint doesn't work) shows a message of data about corruption. Reboot again and work fine ( capacitive button and fingerprint sensor still inoperative ). Other than

the problem with the button and figer print sensors the phone was working correct, but since I was in the middle of a remote land with no signal the phone was on airplane mode, after return to the city and get back on the network star to receive a lot of notification and freeze. I try to reboot but this time after the screen with the 1+ logo the screen turn black and the notification led solid white. I'm able to go into the option menu (power off, Restart, Recovery, Fastboot, Back to previous page) and the computer detected as QUSB_BULK. Any idea? Is any way to recover any photos?

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
I presume you are not rooted and have the stock recovery.

You can use adb to pull the media to your PC/Laptop.

Download the full ROM. Use adb to wipe system, data, Dalvik and cache. Flash the ROM and wipe Dalvik and cache again. Reboot.

If not successful, use method 2 of the Mega Unbrick Guide here in XDA.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Aldrinabir:
need help

so i couldn't root my oneplus 3, so i came back to stock recovery but it was heating up my device more than before, i dont know why. even in regular messenger/facebook usage it gets heated. then i wanted to install another stock rom. but it's asking for password, where as i didnt give any password to my device or any finger print lock. now my recovery cant access my internal memory, not being able to install any zip files, i did reset, but when i tab on install it shows different folders rather than my usual files or any zip files. Need help. basically cant access my device now and wiped my system and OS and all. Will appreciate your help, thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
There may be a way by modifying the zip but I don't know how.

What I do is to flash the full zip followed by flashing TWRP and then SuperSu or Magisk before booting into system.

Anyone else having trouble updating from OOS 5.0.0 to 5.0.1?

My phone is stuck at the spinning dots during booting.

I was rooted and dirty flashed the 5.0.1 rom.

Flashing the 5.0.0 rom back fixes the boot issue.

I even tried the OTA update to 5.0.1, but will cause the same issue.

Any one has some tips?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
Search in the Mega Unbrick Guide thread. You may have to flash the .img file after extracting it from the ROM. Check there.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] stewwert:
Only download the Ota! You will find it in a hidden folder called .ota. Flash this zip with blu_spark Recovery, then flash magisk zip directly and then reboot. It is not more necessary to reflash the custom recovery directly after flashing the rom.

I broke my OnePlus 3 Screen, the screen has gone black but the device is on. Is there anyway to recover my data?

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] tannenman:
Hey,

I'm using a OnePlus 3, running stock 7.1.1 (OxygenOS 4.5.0) My bootloader is unlocked (but I'm not rooted) and I'm using TWRP. I'd like to update to stock Oreo and keep all my apps, settings, and TWRP. What's the best way to do this? Just dirty flash Oreo through TWRP? And if so, are there any downsides to dirty flashing or complications that I could run into in the future? I'm not super familiar with the terminology outside of what I've described above, so I wasn't sure how to research any further than I already have.

Appreciate any help, thanks!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
First take a backup in TWRP and save it in phone as well as PC/Laptop.

Dirty flashing from one version to another especially when a huge change is involved (as from N to O) will undoubtedly land you in trouble.

So boot into TWRP (after the backup), wipe system, data (excluding internal storage), Dalvik and cache and then flash the ROM, wipe Dalvik and cache and reboot. Since you are not flashing SuperSu/Magisk, the stock recovery will replace TWRP.

After setting up the phone, use adb and flash TWRP and boot.

The version of TWRP is important. Use the official one if you are sticking to stock ROM or use eng.stk's TWRP. Flash it first before backing up and then after setting up.

Simply search for flashing Oreo in case of any doubt. Read some more before attempting it so that you know how to get out of any freeze or bootloop.

Edit:

However, setting up the phone and apps will have to be done manually since you don't have root to attempt backing up the app settings and restoring them. Moreover, restoring app settings across versions will most likely result in issues.

But all apps downloaded from the Play Store will have the last settings saved automatically in your Google account. It is only the ROM settings and apps from outside Play Store that you will have to set up manually.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] tannenman:
Thanks for the detailed reply. So, in my situation, is there no easy way to restore settings after a major update? I ask because I've mainly been dreading updating and restoring things like text messages, call logs, backgrounds, apps on the home screen, basically everything I've customized. I really want to try to avoid doing that manually if at all possible. Is it possible to use a backup from Nougat and only partially restore the things I want or is that not recommended because I'm doing a major update?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
If you are talking of backups made in TWRP, then you can not do a partial restoration, to my knowledge, without root. If you have root and install Titanium Backup, then restoring data alone to the apps is possible. However, there are no guarantees that you will not face issues.

Without root, manual setting up alone is possible.

That said, as I indicated earlier, if you had used only apps from Play Store, then when you reinstall them from Play Store, they will install with your setup intact. However, the settings of the apps including messages, call logs etc may be a couple of days upto a week older, meaning any messages you received and any calls made/received from the time they were backed up automatically to the time they are restored, will not be available. When setting up the phone after the flash, you can choose to copy the backed up data from Google servers. In that case, the apps and their settings will automatically download and setup.

Help Please...

I have a rooted OnePlus 3, running on Open Beta 31 (latest). I'm using Magisk for root.

I could flash the OnePlus Official OOS ROMs downloaded directly from the OnePlus website in TWRP recovery. I could flash (or) install it even with the help of stock recovery. When I'm installing from the TWRP recovery, I get an error saying,

This package is for device "OnePlus 3" but this device is " ".

I have no clue why this is happening. While installing package from ADB sideload in stock recovery, everything goes fine and it's a success, but with TWRP, I have a problem. I'd like to know the possible cause for this, and I'm also requesting for help at the same time.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
1. While flashing through TWRP, is that a clean or dirty flash?

2. Which version of TWRP are you using? Try eng.stk's (blu_spark)
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Ahrar Muhammad:
1. It's a clean flash, i.e. after wiping all partitions excluding OTG storage, and even did complete format to remove encryption.

2. I have no clue, I'll try the one you mentioned. Thanks.

Flashing TWRP will take lesser time than that. Actually, it takes about 1 second. And it is not every day that you flash OOS on the phone.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] angeluss:
The only way I know, of flashing TWRP right after flashing a new ROM, is connecting the phone to a computer and flash through fastboot. As this is quite annoying, I wanted a method where I don't have to use a pc, or when I don't have a pc nearby.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
If you have TWRP, which you obviously have, flash the ROM through TWRP and without booting, flash the TWRP through TWRP itself and then boot.

Hello all,

I'm looking to finally make the transition from superuser to magisk. I consider myself still fairly new to all of this. I believe my current status is as follows; I've unlocked my boot loader, I've flashed superuser, and I have not made a singl OS update since oxygen 3.2.8.

I recently downloaded the magic manager from XDA labs. I attempted a direct install. The result was an error suggesting that I needed to restore the original image.

I'm looking for advice on what my next steps should be. I'm obviously behind on OSs. I've been resistant to update because it would cause me to lose root if I understand that correctly. I may not understand that correctly. If I proceed with the oxygen updates will that enable me to be in a position to install Magisk
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
If you want Magisk for any particular reason, then go for it. Also on Oreo ROMS, SuperSU doesn't work for many. So if you intend updating to Oreo, then Magisk it is.

If you intend to stay on 3.2.8 and Magisk is just for fancy, I would advise to desist from that and remain on SuperSU. If updating the ROM, then Magisk is better.

You can install Magisk on OOS, OB and custom ROMs. To my knowledge, there are no restrictions.

If you update now or anytime in future, whether to OOS, OB or Custom ROM, you will lose root. But that by itself is not an issue. By immediately flashing Magisk after any ROM, you will regain root.

But before venturing any further, take a backup and store it on your PC/Laptop. Also read up on flashing before venturing into it.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] wolfkin:
Thamk you. I read up a lot on flashing before I originally routed my phone. I have a basic understanding although there are a few things I wasn't able to find answers for.
