[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zephyr_007:
The phone did not turn on until I connected it to a charger. The battery was at zero. Now the battery only lasts 3 hours of use and drains more around 15% at night with WiFi and locations services turned off. My questions are:-

Q. Did they give me a refurbished phone instead of a new one because it came with the lollipop update already installed?

Q. The phone was probably sitting in that box for more than 2 years. Can a phone battery still degrade if its not being used?

I only noticed the battery drain after I updated to 6.0.1 and installed the December security patch. I've currently asked amazon for a replacement.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aciupapa:
I've bought mine as refurbished, and the battery was awful. Just replace the battery (look for BL-T9 replacement) and it will be good to go :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Was the phone sold by amazon or by an amazon re-seller? Was it packed like new with plastic film on the LCD, nice blue box, oem USB cable, oem USB charger with protective seals?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zephyr_007:
It had the LG seal saying do no buy if broken and yes everything was nicely packed within plastic seals.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Sounds like there could be a problem with the battery. Contact the vendor asap.

Hi !

The best advice I can provide is to post your issue on the dedicated thread that you`ve used to flash your device !

Good luck !
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Vitriol_Drinker:
Well simply, can it be done ?

I'm currently running 3.2.8 with root & twrp with partitions encrypted.

I want to upgrade to 4.0.1, convert to F2FS, keep root & twrp and still be encrypted.

I've read that a new version "blu spark" of the recovery has been released, is this the key to what i want to do ?

If you could provide a foolprof how to, this would be amazing.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] AlkaliV2:
It cannot.

The switch to F2FS requires wiping of the data partition including internal storage. You might be able to get around this by staying on ext4 when flashing the update, but the newest recovery by eng.stk won't decrypt ext4 from what I've seen in the forums which means you won't be flashing anything afterwards. Also, root won't be kept because it will overwrite the kernel which you'd have to boot back into TWRP decrypted to flash a fix for and so on. Also, f2fs is showing to be much quicker with UFS storage on the OP3/T so you'd be using a slower file system just because you don't want to lose user data. Get a decent backup app, copy your backups to your PC, wipe and install the new OS CLEANLY, put your backups back on internal storage once you are back logged in again, and restore.

tl;dr no.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] let92:
I also want to flash OOS 4.0 based on Nougat, but I want to do a clean flash and change the file system to f2fs (I come from OOS 3.2.7 rooted with official TWRP 3.0.2-1).

So, what I have to do is:

1. make backups of files and apps (I will move files and backup apps with Titanium Backup on my PC or a USB stick) and nandroid backup for evenience (move also it on PC)

2. wipe all (with TWRP or adb?)

3. flash OOS 4.0 Nougat (adb?)

4. flash last stable version of Supersu

5. flash latest TWRP by [MENTION=3873953]eng.stk[/MENTION] (with adb?)

Is it correct? The only thing that I can't understand is if I have to use adb or TWRP for flashing, I heard that when you flash the full update the recovery will be replaced with the stock one... :confused:

Please help me, I'm looking for trying Nougat :D
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] hiredantispammer:
Use Titanium backup or any app of you choice, then move the backups and any internal storage files to a PC. Go to TWRP. When you go to the Wipe section, choose "change or repair file system" and convert data to F2FS (will wipe all data and even internal storage). Copy SuperSU 2.79 stable and ROM zips, and this TWRP IMG to phone from a PC, then flash 4.0.1 zip, SuperSU, and TWRP, and reboot to recovery. Make sure you can decrypt data then reboot to system. Then move back your internal storage files and backups.

Or... unroot your phone, flash the stock recovery (fastboot mode) and update through the official OTA ;) Then flash the recovery and root your device again :good:
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] let92:
All right, I'll try this weekend and will post here the result :o

In order to unroot the phone what do I have to do? Also re-lock the bootloader? :confused:
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] hiredantispammer:
Flash stock recovery from OP site and flash rom. Don't relock the bootloader. then flash twrp using fastboot and flash supersu. Will require backing up too tho. I tired the method I gave you and it worked well. F2FS is really worth the effort.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] let92:
It seems more simple the [MENTION=4938641]Viper The Ripper[/MENTION]'s method: in that way I only need to flash the stock recovery, boot the phone (I think the phone will boot on OOS 3.2.7, my actual version), then download OTA (using a VPN to Germany because the update hasn't begun in Italy :(), factory reset (will the phone keep Nougat or come back to manufacturer Marshmallow version?), flash recovery by [MENTION=3873953]eng.stk[/MENTION] and root phone.

Correct? :p
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Vitriol_Drinker:
So people with full stock unrooted/without twrp have to lose all data when upgrading ?

Will this work for me ? Applying the OTA won't relock bootloader will it ?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] sahed01:
titanium backup that I took on 3.2.8 isn't restoring on 4.0.1. because F2FS maybe? any solution?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] let92:
What do you mean? Titanium give you an error when you try to restore some apps? Or you don't find the backups on your phone?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] sahed01:

no nothing like that. it's just when I'm restoring any app, it's like titanium backup freezes. *restoring app* for like hours. but nothing actually happens.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] abhibnl:
Only suggestion that i will give is what worked for me. So here is what i did and successfully upgraded from 3.2.8 to 4.0.1 OOS without losing data and keeping encryption on ext4 /data.

1. Keep full OTA zip, and SuperSU latest in the folder or Stable, whatever you want, and the latest recovery by eng.stk v11.

2. Remove security from your phone (pin/password/fingerprint), and Go to recovery flash v11 recovery by eng and reboot to recovery.

3. Wipe system, cache, and dalvik.

4. Flash full OTA, flash TWRP recovery img again. If on rebooting, you find stock recovery, just flash v11 from fastboot again.

5. Don't reboot into system, reboot into recovery again, flash SuperSU zip and make sure SuperSU flashes properly. You need to read the installation process and determine that it flashed properly.

6. Reboot to system, you will have all of your data safe and the way it was in MM.

7. Be careful, the moment you assign pin/pattern/fingerprint security to your device, TWRP would ask for a pattern in recovery and it won't decrypt your data. (Works fine if you are on f2fs). If you are like me and don't flash zips that oftenly, it's good to go.

I hope this method helps. Be sure to remove security from phone before flashing and rebooting as recovery won't work if you have security applied. It's a cheap workaround but it works nevertheless.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] let92:
Maybe Titanium wants the storage permission even if it doesn't ask for it :eek:

Try to give it, delete app cache and restart the phone.

Then try to restore one app.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Viper The Ripper:
Go to Supersu apk and choose the option in settings to unroot completly your phone ;)

If you apply the official OTA you won't lose nothig from your current rom

Yes it'll work ;) and nope, applying the OTA won't relock your bootloader :good:
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] let92:
Thank you! I'll try your method so! :o
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Revolised123:
Sounds like good plan, but I have one question. Do you need to disable security (fingerprint, patern or code) on forehand to make sure the data can be decrypted?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] jackiass:
I've managed to do all this and end up wit 4.0.1 with F2FS and no encryption. If I encrypt the phone, it changes the format of the data partition and TWRP won't decrypt it. If I understand this thread, this is to be expected. There is no way to end up with encrypted F2FS that TWRP can decrypt?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] hiredantispammer:
I didn't. Just boot back to recovery after flashing everything. With this TWRP data can be decrypted.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] DroidJay123:
I recently bought a used OP3 and am a newbie to O+ but not to Android. Had a rooted SGS3 and it was time for a major upgrade. Anyways, this O+ is not rooted and running OOS 3.2.8 so I am patiently awaiting 4.0 here in the US. I like being rooted w/custom recovery so I can tinker and customize the phone but am thinking I should hold out, wait for the 4.0 OTA and then flash TWRP via fastboot and then root? Is it worth changing the file system to f2fs? What are the main advantages of switching file system? Just speed?

Thanks all!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] jackiass:
Speed and dm-verity error should be gone. Why whait? Just install opera free vpn and connect to germany. You will then see it under system updates. Pause the download, disconnect the vpn and then continue the download (a lot faster to download not using the vpn). You can then flash twrp via fastboot and install SuperSU when in twrp. It's up to you if you want f2fs. I could not get encryption working with it.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] nine5raptor:
Just flash the full ROM yourself, then change to f2fs, and root. I prefer the community builds, so I am on OB10 (nougat).

I've tried your method, but SuperSu asked me 2 things after I tapped on the unroot button, I've given yes to both of them, but then the phone has been stuck at boot logo, I had to hold down the power button for 10 seconds, then the phone has shutted down.

Then I've decided to do the update through TWRP, changing the filesystem to F2FS first, then flashed the full zip, then the TWRP v11 of [MENTION=3873953]eng.stk[/MENTION], rebooted to TWRP and then flashed SuperSU.

No problems and no dm-verity error, just a second warning after the boot, but you've just to wait some seconds and it will disappear ;)

Will TWRP data ba?ckup will work rather than titanium

Can I use twrp data backup before converting the file system, rather than restoring the data using Titanium backup? . I'm in openbeta 10 and have not enabled encryption.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] hiredantispammer:
You still need to transfer the data backup to a PC.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] let92:
Restoring a TWRP backup will not restore your data on the phone, like file, images, music and videos. Also, you can't restore a TWRP backup made with a ext4 filesystem on a F2FS filesystem.

So, you need to transfer all your files on your PC before changing the filesystem ;)

:o it must work!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] let92:
It doesn't :crying: It appears a second message saying:

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] aktap:
I'm on OOS 3.2.8, then i upgrade to OOS 4.0.1

My method is:

-install Opera Free VPN from PlayStore

-set the region to Germany

-go to the Settings -> System updates and download the update (don't restart the phone)

-connect phone to PC

-run OnePlus 3 ToolKit

-Check Device Status (5)

-ADB Device (1)

-if the phone is correct, under the "List of devices attached", is a line with various numbers and letters

-then press a key to continue

-press 9 to Flash Stock Recovery

-if the phone is restarted, boot normal mode, and start the phone

-go back to System updates, and apply the downloaded update

-when it finished, and a system started normally, plug the phone to the PC

-download the latest SU and the latest TWRP and replace with the oldest in OnePlus 3 ToolKit directory

-run the ToolKit again, and Flash TWRP Recovery (7) (when its done, the phone will restart in TWRP)

-on ToolKit type 10 to Push Systemless SuperSU

-in TWRP go to the install, search the SupeSU.zip, and install it (whit the oldest SU i can't reach the SIM)

-restart phone, and enjoy it :)

!!I did not lose any data/contacts/images/anything from my phone!!

I hope i helped

The xPosed framework did not work!! :(

Additional notes:

I'm on OOS 4.0.1 since 1 day, but...it is not so good..

Nougat added some extra lagging, some extra phone heating, some extra battery draining... :(

I go back to OOS 3.2.8
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] let92:
Nice method :o But if I have the phone rooted? Will this method works also with root installed? Flashing the stock TWRP will remove root?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] hp13:
can you please explain what do you mean by decrypt data in twrp?

I recently downgraded from Nougat to MM because i needed xposed on daily basis. When I flashed the stock Oxygen OS - it wiped my TWRP and installed stock recovery.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] DroidJay123:
Thanks for this info. Since I am new to OP but not to rooting and roms I don't want to run into some of these common issues. This dm verity message... Does it literally prevent device from booting or is it just a warning. I hate asking so many questions but I surely don't want to screw up my new device. To confirm... Once I have TWRP, rooted and running official build... Every subsequent ota update after that will cause me to lose root and TWRP?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] 200:
That's how I did (based on many different guides avaible here and op3 forums):

1. Flash latest stock recovery 2.0

2. Sideload 4.0.2 full rom zip

3. Flash TWRP 3.0.3

4. SuperSU 2.79 SR3 using TWRP

5. Full nandroid using TWRP (and moved backup to USB OTG)

6. Wipe data partition and change it to F2FS

7. Change TWRP setting to "rm -rf" instead of format

8. Restore TWRP data partition only (from step 5)

No error messages whatsoever, but then again i might have got lucky. :)
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] DroidJay123:
Thanks for sharing the steps you took. I just confirmed my recovery is 1.0 How do I upgrade it up to 2.0 or is that even necessary? So sideboard the 4.0.2 rather then take it ota? Also whether it's sidelined vs. Fastboot installed, is there even a difference? So if I download the update via OTA, can i choose to not install it right away? Sorry for numerous questions.

Jay
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] DroidJay123:
Well I finally received the OTA without changing my server. My question is if I download, does it force me to install or do I then have the file and can install whenever I choose? I would like to have the file in the event I ever have to switch back to stock in the future.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] 200:
Sorry for the short reply - due to an injury, i cannot write long texts. You can download the official recovery 2.0 from oneplus website, also posted in many xda and oneplus forums. For rooted devices, you need to sideload the full rom and not ota. If you don't know the difference between sideload and fastboot/adb then i suggest to proceed very carefully - perhaps read a lot before moving on or find a detailed guide, my steps assumes that the reader already know what they are doing.

You can move the file anywhere you want and flash via latest twrp whenever you may wish to.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] snegom:
How do you make sure that "...you can decrypt data..."? Should you just convert data to F2FS - not files also?

Your links are old/not working - can you possibly confirm that these are valid choices today:

TWRP 3.0.3-0 (https://dl.twrp.me/oneplus3/)

SuperSU 2.79 (current release from her: http://www.supersu.com/download)

Is it possible to go from 3.2.8 to 4.0.3 directly?

Thanks.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] haris163:
Sorry I don't know about that. My phone is pure stock.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ubergeek77:
You should stop trying to install it :p

I've run into this before on other devices. Basically, the phone assumes you have the stock recovery installed, and attempts to run a command very specific to that recovery. Since you have TWRP, such a command is not compatible, and therefore nothing happens. If you were to look at the terminal output in TWRP, you should see something indicating that flashing the update failed.

But as a general rule of thumb, you should stay away from OTA updates when rooted. They are generally not compatible with or safe for rooted devices and custom ROMs. Even if the update were successful, it would unroot your device and patch the update that allowed you to obtain root, and you'd be stuck without root indefinitely.

So in your case, you need to freeze/uninstall "System Update" app (or whatever it's called) and wait for the maintainer of your ROM to include the changes in the next ROM update.

If you're still bootlooping, in TWRP's file manager, try looking for the update and deleting it. I think it may be in the /cache folder, but please do some research before you go deleting stuff at random. You may also try connecting it to adb, restarting in root mode, and running "adb uninstall com.lge.lgdmsclient," or "adb hide com.lge.lgdmsclient." Basically, you need to find a method of preventing the update from initiating automatically upon boot.
