[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hrlyrdr22:
I wanted to start new on my S6 so I did a factory reset but all the photos seemed to still be there so I went into TWRP and wiped everything, including /system. Then I went ahead and installed the firmware for the G920F and attempted to flash it using Odin 3.10.6 and it didn't work. The blue box appeared, but it would always fail trying to flash the md5 to "AP". I also noticed Windows kept giving me errors detecting my phone even though I had the Samsung drivers installed. (everything was obtained through xda) But I ignored it and assumed it was only because I was in Download mode. Now I reinstall the drivers and still nothing so I give up and instead of flashing stock ROM, I go for a custom ROM. The A8 port. So now I hold down power and home and it doesn't turn off... Download mode is still there and display is on. Isn't the hard reset a hardware thing that software cant mess with because I literally cannot get the display to even turn off after holding just power, holding home+power and home+power+volume (tried both up and down, not both at once though) but nothing. Even for 30 seconds, no luck. So I really need help now. This was way easier with a S4 but I'm having so many issues with the S6 it is insane. Could someone link me a guide on how to flash stock ROM after I wiped and reformatted /system, /cache and /data to F2FS? Thanks

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fast69mopar:
I had this same issue 2 weeks ago with my G928 S6 Edge+ Press and hold Power + Volume Down and hold until your device shows the Samsung screen. It probably will not go past the Samsung screen. When it doesn't, press and hold Power + Volume Down again until you are booting to Download Mode. Next, switch to a different version of Odin to perform the flash of the factory firmware. This is what I had to do to get my Odin flash to pass and my S6 Edge+ to boot normally. Hope this helps. Good luck. Let us know the outcome or if you have issues or need more help.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hrlyrdr22:
Turns out I had to hold down volume DOWN + home + power, no other combination seemed to work. After that I installed Smart Switch and booted into Download Mode again to install the stock firmware. It automatically chose the correct firmware and everything is fine now so I didn't have to mess with ODIN. Weird how holding home+power or just the power button does nothing and how simple flashing the stock firmware actually is.

My primary rom is XenonHD and i have a patched kernel. Installed Multirom.

I cannot install any rom as secondary. They all give the error:updater script failed

When i use a Nougat Rom(Dirty Unicorns) as primary and try to install XenonHD as secondary, it boots the first time after installation but then when i choose XenonHD, it reboots to recovery.

is it possible to change dpi in miui without having weird icons .
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] gulshanstrider:
Use any file explorer like Es explorer etc.

Go to /system/build.prop

Add this line in the build.prop

ro.sf.lcd_density=the value you want.

Save the file and reboot
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Camlin3:
Done already cause icon got distorted like a small square protude seperate from whole icon.

Use easy dpi changer from playstore. Then add/modify ro.sf.lcd_density=x in build.prop in case the dpi change messes up icons and images in apps.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] abhibnl:
Hello all!

I am currently on OOS 3.2.8, and official TWRP. I have read all the instructions on the forums but all lead to one option, formatting internal memory. So, my question are:

1. Will flashing oos 4.0 work with official TWRP or 8 have to use modified 28 version?

2. How can I flash oos 4 with modified TWRP and not have to wipe internal memory?

I would appreciate all the responses. Thanks
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] anshulajain:
I was the same predicament as you. I finally took the plunge and now I have Nougat running on my OP3. Here is what I did :

Start: OOS 3.2.8 w/ custom kernel and modified TWRP

1. Flash stock recovery (Google for a forum post in the OP3 forums on downloading the stock recovery and flash it through fastboot)

2. Reboot and let 3.2.8 start

3. Download Snap VPN and change the country to Canada. You will be prompted for the system update.

4. Let the update download (~1 GB)

5. Install the update. You may see an error of the installation may fail as your phone is rooted. Ignore and go ahead.

6. The installer will now boot to stock recovery and reboot with Nougat. All settings and apps will be maintained

The only catch is that you may have ext4 instead of f2fs. I am okay with it for now... But your mileage may vary :)

All the best!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] anshulajain:
Edit : Nougat running on my op3.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Renosh:
Are you rooted? Are you encrypted? What file systems are you using for your partitions? You're not giving full information. Why is formatting not an option if it'll give you the results you want?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Puddi_Puddin:
To get to F2fs (I do recommend it)

Take a backup of your Data partition. , copy it to your pc with "adb pull /sdcard/Twrp/whatever".

Now go to Twrp>Wipe>Advanced select data and click on change file system. Change it to F2fs. Now restore your backup (Reader the guide all info is there). Profit!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] abhibnl:
I don't have any issues with ext4, infact i do feel ext4 is more stable than f2fs so file system is my last concern. Thanks for your method, but then how did u root again? Installing nougat is fine but what after that? I have read that you can't use modified twrp without formatting internal memory first, as it'll show you the pin issue. Let me know how do you propose a safe method to achieve root.

Yes i am encrypted, rooted, stock OOS 3.2.8 + Franco kernel. Official TWRP(not modified). I am using ext4, never used f2fs at all. The time to backup data and then to restore it all back is the reason formatting is not an "preferred" option for me. I can do it, but i would have to wait until i find enough time to do the whole process. I am in a full time job, so i hope you would understand.

Well this again defeats the purpose of my original question, but thanks mate. I would definitely read the guide if decide to switch to f2fs.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Puddi_Puddin:
[MENTION=4296062]abhibnl[/MENTION]. BTW your encrypted. So the modified TWRP won't work.

How to fix:

Wipe Userdata with Fastboot / fastboot erase UserData

Boot into Twrp modified twrp.

Flash OOS 4.0 flash SuperSU and let it boot

You should be decrypted DO NOT install a boot password since you will be encrypted again.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] anshulajain:
I haven't rooted my phone again. My only reason to root is to install Adaway to block all ads. With DNS66 and Adguard, I have little incentive to root my stock nougat install.

Edit : I had encryption during 3.2.8 and it carried over to 4.0
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] abhibnl:
Thanks a lot for informing me mate. I really don't want to decrypt my storage as of now. I guess flashing stock recovery is the only solution now. Will hope someone would pick up the twrp and update it.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] abhibnl:
Seems like stock recovery is the best way as of now. Seems like I'll have to love without root until someone updates twrp to support encrypted storage.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Zielony360:
I haven't updated to Nougat yet, but I looked over Chainfire's SuperSU changelog and its installation script and both of them confirm that from March installing SuperSU prevents forced encryption. Also many guides suggest installing it as way for disabling forced encryption. Of course you have to flash SuperSU just after flashing ROM, before booting the system.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] kpmohamedhussain:
Very simple indeed...

1. Switch on wifi

2. Download OTA and click install whem finished

3. Once installation completed, flash twrp .28 and latest su

4. Reboot and ignore any errors, youwill beup and running fine...
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] abhibnl:
That i already knew mate. But i WANT my storage to remain encrypted. And that's the issue with modified TWRP. You can't enter into recovery on that if your storage is encrypted.

Again, "You can't enter into recovery on modified TWRP if your storage is encrypted." So i won't be able to enter into twrp in the first place, let alone flash anything.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] dmoses1969:
In the same boat as you. I have OOS 3.2.8 encrypted, rooted and TWRP 3.0.2-1.26. I too would like to update but have way to much stuff on my phone to back it all up and restore it. Hope you or someone come's up with a solution. I will be following your thread.

Thanks.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] null0seven:
Go to twrp. Press backup. Select only data. Save to PC youre backup for safety..

3.2.8 it's Android 6, 4.0 it's Android 7. Some apps might not work from base to base.

If you want to change to F2FS it will format youre phone, wipe phone full internal memory. If you want to change it back to ext4, same.

Clean flash, full wipe it's always better.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] anshulajain:
My suggestion (and my steps are in #1), install stock recovery, install snap VPN, download the update and install (ignore any errors on root). Once done, you will have Nougat with stock recovery, encryption maintained and all app data also intact.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] abhibnl:
This is the last resort brother. With this method, unfortunately I won't have any root available. The only way now is to wait for updated twrp.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] dmoses1969:
I dont know. I found this on Oneplus forum. May be worth trying. Just not 100% sure.....
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] abhibnl:

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] dmoses1969:
Well, I tried something, waiting on it to finishing booting and see how it went.

I flashed twrp-3.0.2-1.28-oneplus3p version,

Flashed the OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_035_all_1612310359_e10cadfb2af7.zip inside TWRP,

Flashed SR1-SuperSU-v2.79-SR1-20161221223537.zip right after flashing OTA zip.

Its rebooting and says Android is upgrading. Fingers crossed.

EDIT: Its booted and I am on Nougat, didnt lose my data and phone is still encrypted!

Edit: Ended up having issues with settings app locking up. So, I went a different route and its all working great now.

Downloaded the stock recovery image and renamed it to recovery.img

Make sure after you rename it its not named recovery.img.img, If you have show file extensions enabled on your pc you should already see the file extension.

Rebooted to bootloader - adb flash recovery recovery.img

Using the volume keys and power button selected - reboot recovery.

Now in stock recovery - flashed OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_035_all_1612310359_e10cadfb2af7.zip

After rom is done flashing, went right back into bootloader. Did not let my phone reboot to start the OS.

Renamed twrp-3.0.2-1.28-oneplus3p.img to recovery.img

adb flash recovery recover.img

Powered off phone and Manually boot it into recovery by holding Power + Volume Down button.

Phone booted into TWRP

Flashed SR1-SuperSU-v2.79-SR1-20161221223537.zip

Wiped cache / dalvik

Rebooted system from TWRP and waited. System is really smooth now, no issues yet. Been playing with it for awhile now.

During the booting up process it might take a minute and it will reboot twice. Dont get nervous like I did thinking it was going to start bootlooping. It booted just fine. I read in a nother thread that SuperSU is what causes it to boot twice.

So......Now I have OOS 4.0 Nougat, Rooted, Encrypted and everything seems to be working fine.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] abhibnl:
Does your .28 recovery now asks for a password/pin when you try to enter into recovery? And if you have set up a pattern/pin/password, can you enter recovery using it?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] abhibnl:
Can you share the stock recovery that you flashed and that worked for you? I will try this weekend. :)
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] dmoses1969:
At work at the moment. I'll uploaded it this evening.

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 PM ----------

No, I've rebooted to recovery a couple of times and haven't had any passcode requests.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] abhibnl:
It's strange. If you are using Pattern/Pin/Password on encrypted storage, recovery will ask for the same in order to give you the /data access. You sure you are still encrypted or never decrypted before?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] dmoses1969:
I had finger print and pattern setup on my phone. It's never changed. Still have finger print and pattern setup and I am encrypted. And no, I have never decrypted my phone.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] dmoses1969:
Just rebooted into recovery again. No errors, used TWRP file explorer and looked at all my files. I don't know what to tell you other than what I used worked for me without wiping my storage.

Here's a link to everything I used.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] abhibnl:
Thank you for all the support mate. I will definitely give it a try. But since you are already using TWRP, just one question. How's the overall impression and stability compared to MM 3.2.8? Is it worth all this hassle rather to wait for an updated TWRP? Cause we don't even know if someone will pick up the development and release updated TWRP for nougat.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] dbabaev21:
Same thing happened to me. I almost bricked my OP3 because of that. So, I decided to stick with Freedom OS v1.7 (OOS v3.2.8) until someone fixes the twrp issues with encryption and password. Also, I tried "default_password" and it didn't work. I had to flash stock recovery to get access back to my data, as the twrp blocked it. It wiped my entire phone and I was able to install stock OOS (v3.2.8), and from there everything was alright.

P.S. OOS v4.0 has some battery issues, toggling notification settings issue, and some performance issues. I'll just wait for a fix.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] shobuddy:
How can I tel if I'm encrypted?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] abhibnl:
Well it's better to be safe than sorry mate. MM is working fully stable as of now, and OOS 4.0 seems like a rushed update from OP. So yes, waiting for a compatible TWRP would be the best action in this situation as of now.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] dbabaev21:
Go to "Settings > Security & fingerprint". Scroll down a bit and you will see "Encryption", which will say "Encrypt phone - Encrypted" (if you are encrypted).

Somehow I was able to flash stock OOS v4.0 before I got stock. I played a little with it, it was smooth and very good. It has some issues, from what I've seen in forums, but I like it. Luckily, bootloader was still working and I flashed stock recovery, wiped my data (I didn't know the password) and installed stock OOS v3.2.8.

OOS v4.0 is indeed a rushed update and not everything is supported for it yet (from the rooting perspective - twrp, xposed etc.).
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] netcitizen:
full wipe removes only apps right ? the photos, videos, music remains as it is right?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] dbabaev21:
Usually, a clean flash of rom, doesn't touch your personal files.

I would have to say "It depends". If you do it from the OS itself, then you would have the option to keep your personal files or to remove them. I think if you do it from the twrp then it removes everything you have on your phone, if I'm not wrong.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] dmoses1969:
It might be worth waiting. Dont get me wrong, I really like Nougat but just noticed today that my camera wasnt working properly. I just get a solid green image everytime I take a picture. I'll probably go ahead and wipe and reflash as no one else seems to be having the camer issue.

EDIT: Cancel the green camera issue. Someone replied to my post saying that they had the same issue caused by the build prop not having the correct permissions. I changed the permissions and it is working correctly. I am positive the build.prop permission was caused by me while doing the build.prop edits to enable google assistant. All good now.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] slamor:
I would like to update to Nougat.

I am encrypted.

I am on Stock OnePlus 3 A3000, OS 3.2.8, 6.0.1, with twrp-3.0.2-0-oneplus3. BETA-SuperSU-v2.74 forced systemless.. for root.

When I go into twrp it always ask for password to Mount Decrypt Data, I use my PIN and Im in.

Which route should I take to Update to N?

Thanks in advance.

No answers?? I will wait until official twrp. Maybe then there will be just 1 way to go about doing this.

I seen alot threads, but all others is p and others.

Is there any tools and root option for j3-320(G)?

The reason why is because, i needed to move those internal file to the ext SD Card.

The problem is really annoying

3.2GB Reserved internal memory

So i am left with like 4GB, facbeook and a few other social apps, ate up few GB, downloaded 2 game and bang. 327MB left, seriously 8GB internal memory is a joke, i always thought that we could set download option or move files from internal to SD, now only i know that we need to root that for moving.

When boost mobile and sprint and virgin mobile updated their j7s from f3 to ph4 they did the samething but on 6.0.1. What they did was stop the flashing of the older rom which did not have the Asks software security. When you flash a older android version such as 5.0 over a new android version such as 6.0 the flash is declined. You cant downgrade cause the bootloader prevents it thats why theres a error message in odin.. not really sure why youd want 5.0 over 6.0.
