[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Have you forgotten to switch on "allow OEM unlock" in developer settings? That's the only thing I can think of causing the problem....

If so you probably need to use the MSM-download-tool from the unbrick thread, depending on the device (3 or 3t) to fully reset it and start from scratch...
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] angadsingh97:
Hi,

I wanted to ask about a fingerprint problem I tend to face in custom ROMs, but never in OOS (beta or stable). In the custom ROMs I've tried (Lineage/RR/PA), if I leave the device for a while, say 2 minutes, and then try to unlock it, it opens up on the lock screen, the device does get unlocked (as shown by the open lock icon), but it says- device will remain locked until you manually unlock. So I have to swipe up as well, and I'm not sure why this extra step is happening. By changing the power button settings to lock after 2 minutes or so, this solves the issue for the most part, but anything after 2 minutes requires me to do the whole fingerprint + swipe up thing, which is an annoyance. Could anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

- When I try to unlock, the animation does move upwards, but then seems to fall back down and remain in that mid-unlocked state, for some reason.

i tried that one too. and even tried the remote session from one plus support but still no luck after the process. it boot up to the logo and goes black screen
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Sam Nakamura:
If all this fails you should consider it a hardware issue, at least it's very likely, what did the customer service diagnosed? What brought you into this situation?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Goku80:
Being with the oneplus 3t since the start of the year and I must say I love this phone. I thought I knew loads about rooting but seems to me that after reading alot I know not as much as I did.

Example. Things like substratum theme. I'm stock non rooted. Can I use substratum or do I need to root? Same with custom kernels. Thought you needed to root to do that. People say to me I don't. Am well confused. Any help would be welcomed. Don't want to root though as I have my banking apps and plus don't want to lose my data
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Banking apps should work just fine using Magisk hide, you actually don't need root privileges to run a custom kernel only if you want to adjust settings with a kernel manager app, actually all custom kernels are well balanced by default, so it should be okay for 90% of the users, but you would need a custom recovery to flash the custom kernel.. Substratum should run rootless on Oreo and OMS supported nougat custom ROMs, Pitch Black Origins theme has for example introduced a possibility to theme OOS Oreo since yesterday or so, still I wouldn't suggest to use it without custom recovery as you have no other possibility than factory reset in case a theme fails terribly, with custom rom you can simply backup/restore or flash the "substratum rescue zip" to recover without losing your ROM and DATA, a custom recovery needs a unlocked bootloader which will indeed wipe your internal storage completely but using a computer or even a USB-OTG to backup your important stuff could easily save your files... The OP3T is a wonderful device to play with, so many possibilities due to the strong community support :) I heard some do even enjoy it in all stock conditions, besides the customization the ad blocking is something I couldn't withstand, so for me a unlocked bootloader is mandatory, anyways there are more ways to enjoy this device than just one, have fun :)
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] kingjordz:
I did the unbrick thread steps and it completed successfully. however after installing, when I turned on the phone it still stops at the red and white circle after the one plus logo, it does not even move and just goes black screen
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Yeah, I understood that, looks like a hardware issue somehow, again, what I asked before:

-what diagnosed the customer service in it's remote session?

-what did you do causing the problem?

Can you boot to recovery and do

-factory reset?

-apply full OOS update to last stable release?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Goku80:
Sorry to ask this also then. To be able to flash a custom kernel should I unlock bootloader and just flash it using the stock recovery?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Sam Nakamura:
No of course not, tick ✅ "allow OEM unlock" in developer settings, use adb/fastboot to unlock the bootloader, BEFORE backup important stuff to hard drive / pen drive and flash latest twrp, stock recovery only flashes software signed by oneplus officially, like OTAs...

Check thorough guide here, read carefully and ask if uncertain as this action even if relatively simple potentially harm your device...

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] kingjordz:
remote session says maybe unwanted sources in the bootloader. ( im not sure if that was it).

I was doing a phone call when the call suddenly drops, then my signal drops as well and when i tried rebooting it won't load to the home screen. tried the factory reset but same thing .. im not sure if I understand this >> -apply full OOS update to last stable release? ibelieve this was done with the remote session
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Sam Nakamura:
OK, this points to the "hardware issue theory" if the phone fails out of nowhere, without previously being modified and won't come back to life with remote session from CS, nor through the unbrick tool it's a pretty obvious hardware problem in my opinion... Aren't you under warranty or who paid for the remote session?

I think it's nothing you can do except sending it in...

If it won't boot you should be still able to enter recovery mode, in recovery mode you can still factory reset and flash (latest) official full oxygenOS zips, maybe it needs some extra starting help but with all I know now I'm pretty sure it's hardware related, nonetheless a last try would definitely not harm anymore...
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] rmsnus:
Hi Helpful Ppl,

I have gotten 1+3T recently. What i want is the following

1. Install custom kernel - To enjoy the various tweaks

2. Install Magisk - To remove unwanted system programs and free up space

To do the above, do i necessarily need to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery or are the zips compatible for flashing from stock recovery.

From whatever i have read so far, the requirement is always to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery. Are these two interlinked or are there ways to flash custom recovery from stock recovery.

I have no intensions of flashing any custom rom as i am quite happy with OOS. Just wanted to declutter it and have a good kernel, root access and also have the option of getting the regular OTAs and being able to flash them incrementally and automatically, rather than download a big package everytime and flash through custom recovery. Thanks for all the help.

Regards,

rmsnus
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Stock recovery only flashes software signed by oneplus, nothing else, to flash anything else, like root, custom kernel, custom rom a custom recovery like TWRP is needed, to flash a custom recovery a unlocked bootloader is mandatory, otherwise installation gets blocked or you brick/damage the device, to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery you need a PC with ADB/Fastboot set up, due to the modifications made with this you can't use the OTA function of OOS like you do now, you'll basically flash them manually with custom kernel and likely root afterwards as the full signed flashable OOS zip will overwrite custom kernel, root and custom recovery if you don't reflash your modifications right after OOS update again....

Get an idea here:

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Technically it should work like this, as long as you haven't updated to open beta Oreo - that's the only ROM version you'd need specific downgrade steps to my knowledge... Backup of your personal data definitely recommended!

Ok, i could use some help as i'm at a loss currently.

My Friend has a 3T. He was on latest Open Beta when his Camera App stopped working (not opening, only telling "unknown error"). I planned to downgrade to latest stable. All research seemed to indicate this wouldn't be a problem.

I flashed TWRP and did a full nandroid beforehand.

I dirty flashed latest stable release. Phone would boot to Lockscreen and instantly reboot. Wiping cache didn't help. So we restored the Nandroid to get it up and running again (even without camera for the moment). Now the phone won't boot at all. Just fastboot mode and Recovery are working.

Is there any way we can either 1. get the Backup on the latest Beta back up and running or even better 2. Downgrade to latest stable while keeping apps, settings and files?

Any helpfull tip is appreciated!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Sam Nakamura:
You didn't use the "special" downgrade build? It's very prominently written on every release note for Oreo OOS on xda as well as on oneplus forums to use a specifically provided build for downgrading to avoid issues, just flashing back to the latest stable isn't enough, unfortunately...

Cannot help much exept when everything fails use the unbrick guide with MSM download tool or if bootloader is unlocked (which should be mandatory using TWRP) flash a custom rom till you found a solution, check the OB xda thread for advice...

My 3T doesn't boot. When I press power ON, the 1+ bootimage comes for 3-4seconds then it gets powered off.

I press volume+ with power button fastboot comes normally. But as I am bootloader locked(didn't enable oem unlocking from developer option).

Then I press volume- with power button but No recovery. same 1+ bootimage 3-4seconds and power off.

I search all around. and then followed msmdownloadtool instructions. Installed driver, Opened the tools, set gets detected all right!, starts flashing, Shows DOWNLOAD COMPLETE in Green color but still same problems stays! 1+ bootimage 3-4seconds and poweroff.

I try volume+ with powerbutton fastboot comes, select recovery to boot, but no recovery comes. Still 3-4seconds 1+bootimage and PowerOFF.

My handset was performing a little slow so I decided to factory reset the set and then this happened. I's probably not a hardware issue as It was functional until i tried factory reset! Any kind of help is appreciated.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Sam Nakamura:
So you factory reseted a full stock device (no modifications) and this rendered it useless, without a chance of booting to system or recovery?

If that's the case I would indeed think of a hardware issue, problem is that the MSM-download-tool is the last line of support from the oneplus support team before RMA, there's simply nothing you can do if this method fails exept visiting the service center....

Saw a couple of posts regarding Face Unlock for the 3T, and thought I'd share this solution for anyone interested.

Gravity Box for Xposed has an Instant Unlock option, i.e. the phone unlocks instantly when the correct password/pin is entered, without any further button pressing or swiping. Combined with the Smart Unlock option (Face Recognition), you get an instant face Unlock. It's probably not as secure as the 5T implementation, but it's pretty fast. Sorry if this has already been covered, I just thought I'd share it with y'all. Thanks.
