BL Locked OP3

I hope someone can come up with a locked BL method for installing custom recovery and root. It's been done numerous times on the Sony phones. I've had a Sony Xperia Z2 that I had installed TWRP and rooted without touching the BL. I understand an unlocked BL is the Nexus way of doing things, but with news of nasty apps that root and set up keylogging software and create web access, I feel that a locked BL will go some way in protecting users.

tl,dr: please please find us a way to keep the bootloader locked and enjoy custom recovery and root.

Hi there! I have a question, if I mess up rooting and/or unlocking the bootloader, or even flashing something, will the warranty cover that? I'm sorry if I spelled something wrong, English is not my native language. ;)

Any way to turn off automatic pocket mode on OxygenOS 3.2.2 completely?

I use the OP3 through a transparent waterproof pouch for the canoe trip, and don't want the proximity sensor to lock it into pocket mode, it's annoying to bypass that AND the lockscreen as well. Wasn't an issue before 3.2.2.

is there anyway to bring cm themes to the stock rom ?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] lebeatnik:
Thanks for super fast reply.

Yes Toolkits are very tempting although i will take your advice, I should learn ADB rather than depend on others anyway. Ive just had my OP3 for a couple weeks now and love the device its just missing root, too bad OnePlus didnt, or couldnt implement an option durring initial setup to let you start with an option to run Stock or Root, At least they all come unlocked I guess lol although I bet the Majority of OP users Root thier phones, ok I'm done with the commentary just have a few questions to help me clarify your answer.

First I have ADB and OP3 drivers installed already, so i think I'm ready to start with your recomendation on rooting, although being a COMPLETE ADB NOOB (I only had samsung devices and used odin A LOT i never have had ADB installed on my system until now) so i need to look up how to do each of thoes steps, Step One And Two are the only ones IDK "exactly" what to do, and what you mean.

As far as step One is concerned if saving my internal storage means save my contacts pictures media etc that's not an issue my contacts are the only thing i don't mind replacing. If there's anything else I need to backup EFS or anything else essential, could you give some tips on that possibly?

As for step Two, I don't know how to go into fastboot, nor do I know ADB commands I am sure there is a thread somewhere about it though, If you know of a particular thread you would recommend I would appreciate it, otherwise I should be able to find a suitable tutorial.

Once I get it all done and have TWRP installed I'm Golden and know my way from there.

Currently I am more concerned with rooting but no the clock app is not stock it is Timely

I've done everything i can think of but when i use the fastboot devices command i get nothing i have usb debugging enabled along with oem unlocking, I am running windows 10 and my desktop is on my D drive so when i used the 15 second adb installer i used to "Fix" of making a Desktop folder in C:\users as that particular adb installer uses it as a temp folder for installing ADB. ADB is installed in my C Drive and i am able to run it via command prompt but when my device is in Bootloader mode (press volume up and power or using advanced restart choosing bootloader) when I open the command prompt navigate to c:\adb and run the command fastboot devices it gives me nothing and I'm back at the prompt as if nothing is available. I have installed the 1+ drivers both from the 15 sec adb installer and the ones that are preloaded on the phone itself but i am still unable to get fastboot to tell me a device is connected. I've gotten to the point i don't know what to do. from what I've read its because i dont have the drivers installed or installed correctly. I am at a los as to what to do? Right now i know something is wrong I hope it is some discrepancy with the drivers?? I just don't know what to do at this point. The Computer recognizes the phone when plugged in i'm able to access files, charge, everything but the fastboot, my device in bootloader says it is locked i have not tried to just input the unlock command i just don't know what to do, sorry for the frantic like post i have been trying since my last post and i just have no clue what is the issue.

although i am almost certain it is a driver issue but what and why IDK ADB is also unable to find any devices? like i said i have installed all drivers i have been able to find for the device Maybe i need to somehow remove and reinstall them. is it an issue with oxygen os 3.2.7 i am at a loss right now if only i could unlock the bootloader directly via the mobile device lol. should i factory reset it?

LOL and right now i appreciate your help with trying to figure out the issue with timely as of right now i could care less lol, I only like it because it shows me the time the date and my next time of alarm in an easy to see way but right now that's the LEAST of my problems. LOL

So, you like jogging right?

Now, boot the phone on android, connect it to pc, open that command prompt and type

adb devices

Is there any message there like a code or just waiting for device? If not...

Have a look at your phone, a message will pop-up, check the box "remember" and tap on allow, tell me what's happening

The phone hasn't been recognized by adb, revoke USB debugging from dev options, you must see first the phone recognized in adb devices, forget about fastboot, adb first

WHY would ADB work but not fastboot????

should i use recovery mode and reset the device maybe something i did inadvertently is causing this?

essentially start from scratch?????

turned off developer mode and turned it back on

re authorized computer

nothing has changed

adb is fine fastboot is not...

fastboot devices gives me nothing every time nothing like no devices just goes back to prompt

Also i used shortcut on desktop. option to start from install and navigated through command prompt to directory

Should i post information displayed on bootloader screen?

[MENTION=3793457]lebeatnik[/MENTION]

In addition to doing the above, after you install adb, go to Device Manager and check anything not installed properly (anything with yellow highlight or question mark). If there is anything like that, right click the same. Even if everything shows up as installed properly, right click on your device. Check the driver details. If a Kedacom driver is shown, click update driver, and navigate to the OnePlus drivers showing up as a CD drive in your PC. Then choose the OP driver and update. Now you should be good to go.

For some reason, Win10 by itself never installs the correct driver for OP3.

If you have any further issues, please go through the OP3 forum where atleast one person per day complains about Win10 and solutions are always provided.

Good luck!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] lebeatnik:
ok i have disabled driver signature verification on windows ten

in my device manager nothing has any issues

Reinstalled minimal ADB fastboot v1.4.1

Everything acts the same...

From what you are telling me I must not have the Correct Drivers or The drivers installed Correctly still

When the device is in bootloader in my device manager i have

kedacom usb device > Android bootloader interface

updating drivers from this > browse my computer for driver software

Should i

choose to search for drivers (and what drivers should i install?)

or

let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer (this gives me first Android bootloader interface, with compatible hardware clicked, unclicked i am given, #recovery, Android Bootloader Interface, Kedacom KDB Interface) (have disk? and where should it be)

Then when the device is not in bootloader Device manager says

Portable devices > ONEPLUS A3000

updating drivers from this > browse my computer for driver software

And again should i

choose to search for drivers (and what drivers should i install?)

let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer (gives me MTP USB device, unclick show compatible hardware, i get a plethora of options?)(have disk? and where should it be)

I am going to go search about windows ten issues right now Hopefully i can answer my own questions. I feel like a complete moron IDK why i can't figure this out.:confused:
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] xanthrax:
I too have windows 10 pro and no problems

Maybe start the adb minimal with right click /run as administrator

But anyhow, something got messed up si better uninstal all drivers, restart and use minimal adb app only and don't update no drivers from device manager with have disk or whatever, windows should do it by itself

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] lebeatnik:
I am also on windows ten pro But a lot of problems apparently,

I just restarted with disabled driver signature verification mode Which i am in now, I removed the drivers before reboot in device manager before the reboot along with minimal ADB. Currently in device manager without installing any drivers, on my own, device manager recognizes the device as Portable devices> OnePlus A3000

Install any further drivers and if so should i use the drivers from the virtual disk created my the phone (Cd Drive (X:)One Plus Drivers) or just minimal ADB?

Should I uninstall again via device manager and also place phone in bootloader to uninstall all ADB

Also I am sorry for the terrible formatting of my posts. lol When I am frustrated sometimes I forget I'm typing something I want someone else to actually understand and actually read.

You should choose the Android Bootloader drivers from the OnePlus CD partition.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] millicent:
Arrived at this step, I just changed the driver of that pesky kedacom USB device showing in device manager.

Assuming you ran the executable adb-setup.exe that also installed one plus drivers while in the windows mode that doesn't enforce drivers signature,...

Go to device Mgr, kedacom change/update driver, browse..., let me pick then finally select the Other driver.

Then fastboot will hopefully see your device

My brother bought yesterday the white/gold device with the chinese OS and the employee opened the box and flashed the Oxygen OS.

Now the problem is that he gets a message for an OTA update and when the phone reboots it gives an installation failure message.

If i got it right the device now has its bootloader unlocked (my brother can see a line in download mode saying Device Status Unlocked). Is this the reason why the update can't be installed? I have read in the past posts saying that you can get OTA updates even with the bootloader unlocked.

Any way to make updates get installed?

OTA is blocked by custom recovery not by bootloader lock status.

I don't know why is it happening. If I were you, I'd just flash twrp and flash the 3.2.7 rom (latest)

It is not because of SuperSU. It was a bug in older version of oxygen OS. Update to 3.2.7 and you'll be fine

Thanks for replying.

He doesn't want to root his device (it's sure device isn't rooted because he cinfirmed it with Root Checker app from Google Play). If you are right, then maybe when the shop flashed Oxygen OS also flashed a custom recovery and that's why OTA update can't be installed.

In this case, can you please point me to that guide to go to full stock factory settings?

So lots of questions from a new op3 owner...

First thing I did was unlock bootloader. Then adb side loaded 3.5.5 community build. Then decided I would install twrp and make a backup and try a few Roms. Backup went fine. Wiped and installed DU and Gapps. Will not boot. So tried again and same result. Wiped and restored backup. Will not boot. So I adb side loaded 3.5.5 community build and back in business. However I have no access to recovery now. Tried fastboot twrp or stock. Neither takes. Reboot system and all is good. Just have no recovery. Does recognize fastboot and adb.
