Hey all. I wanted to make a little "Public Service Announcement" regarding an issue that I have had for quite some time and finally solved tonight. I'm hoping it will help someone else because the symptoms of the issue were very strange and an answer was not forthcoming through standard searching.

I have an HTC M8 (Verizon) and I have been having problems with my "Mobile Hotspot" feature for a while. I thought the issue happened after my first upgrade to Marshmallow, but as it turns out the issue was with my Windows 10 PCs (read on...).

Basically, I was able to connect to my phone's Wifi "Mobile Hotspot" without any problems from an iPad tablet or from my wife's Samsung phone. However, when I tried to connect from my Windows 10 PC I had very strange symptoms.

As per my profession, I consider myself somewhat an expert on Windows and networking in general (not "the expert" but "an expert" :D). What was so strange about this issue was that the Windows 10 PCs would see the SSID from my phone without a problem. they would connect after providing the encryption key, and they would even get an IP address from the phone's DHCP server. But, after that, they failed to communicate on the network at all. Not even able to ping the phone (default gateway).

I won't go into the details of all my troubleshooting steps (everything from reboots to wireshark analysis), but honestly nothing worked. I determined it must be an issue with Windows 10 after having two different Windows 10 laptops fail to connect properly. I remembered that I didn't have these issues when my system was running Windows 7.

Even armed with this information I was unable to research to any suitable solution online, when I came across a post somewhere that hinted at a similar connectivity issue. The poster seemed to indicate that the Microsoft drivers caused some issues with their devices that was resolved using older vendor drivers.

Both my Windows 10 laptops in questions are quite old. They were never meant to run anything past Windows Vista/7. Because of this, the vendors didn't really offer complete driver packages for these systems for Windows 10. But, during the Windows 10 installation, the OS detected all the hardware in these laptops automatically and, until today the provided Microsoft drivers seemed totally functional.

I hunted down the latest drivers I could find from the vendors (HP/Dell) and using device manager forced the installation of those driver packages. Immediately upon update to those drivers I was able to connect 100% properly to the Mobile Hotspot and access the Internet.

As it turns out, it seems both laptops had Broadcom based cards - so I suspect the issue may be specifically with Microsoft's Broadcom driver.

Hopefully this comes up in a search for the next person having similar issues.

I want to unlock all qualcom bands for the d852 currently using latest twrp(d852) and I have noticed I can not get it to show under ports in device manager.

To make sure it was not a problem with the phone, I flashed both 6.0 stock marshmallow zip and latest fulmics rom and both showed up under ports. Any help?

Do you have an ETA/are you looking into the Tab S3 Wifi power drain bug reported here:

I am experiencing the same issue on the latest AQDC firmware and the delay in getting this fixed is very concerning particularly since the older Tab S2 had no such issue. Strongly considering returning my Tab S3 unless this is addressed soon. Please advise, thanks much.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] undertaker2k14:
No dice still with AQF5 KOO firmware today, I officially give up. Likely a hw issue , only reason they have not addressed it across 6 firmware updates. Too bad since the tablet is very decent otherwise. Unlikely this will ever get fixed at this point since this is not a Note 7 type headline grabber. Time to find an used S2 to replace the one I sold or wait on something else.My S3 is going back tomorrow.

FWIW, the drain is present on both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz bands regardless of the band-setting, and with both my Linksys and ASUS AC1900 routers, neither of which have a Quantenna chipset (one known to cause power issues). Also, my S8+ on the same routers has spectacular standby life. Shame on Samsung for releasing yet another half baked product. Their silence on this is deafening.

To start off, I have been running the pure nexus rom on marshmellow 6.0.1, and twrp 3.0.2-0 for months now, and loving my mxp. Today, my phone randomly froze (which happens often, due to me maxing out my ram with too many things running), no big deal right? We'll just hold the power button to hard reboot phone like normal Wrong. My phone now does not boot at all. I cannot get passed the "warning bootloader unlocked" screen. I cannot boot into twrp either, as it freezes at the teamwin start up screen (so unable to flash via recovery). None of my 3 computers recognize my phone as being plugged in (so unable to use adb/fastboot to flash), and fastboot flash mode is "Secure". Have I bricked my phone? I have not made any changes to it in months (aka I haven't flashed ANYTHING to my mxp in months, hence why I am so dumbfounded). I am willing to go back to stock (preferably keeping twrp) if need be. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Have you tried a simple wipe? Open TWRP and go to Wipes, Advanced, and select caches and user data (NOT system or boot) and reboot... if not, you need to reflash your ROM.

And BTW, "Today, my phone randomly froze (which happens often, due to me maxing out my ram with too many things running), no big deal right?" Yes, actually that is a big deal... it is not normal and shouldn't be happening, you should have been troubleshooting that issue. Android usually doesn't just "max out RAM" and freeze up unless something is wrong.

OnePlus 5: Unlock Bootloader | Flash TWRP | Root | Nandroid & EFS Backup & More !!

Introduction​

​

Rooting this device is actually quite a simple and easy process. Before you begin, it is recommended that you at least try to understand what each part of the process will do. Although this guide will elongate each step in order to show all of the details, the method used can be broken up into 3 main steps: ​

Unlocking the Bootloader

Installing a Custom Recovery

Gaining Root Access

Each new step relies on the previous step so please follow the entire process and a basic summary of each part is described as below:

Unlocking Bootloader​​

Opens the door to the internal memory of the device to be written on to. This allows you to flash images onto the main partitions of the phone.​

Installing a Custom Recovery​​

A custom recovery is flashed onto the recovery partition of the device and overwrites the stock recovery that exists by default. Custom recoveries bring lots of functionality and give you the ability to perform wipes, install flashable zips, create full backups of your device (Nandroid backup), and various other features. An unlocked bootloader is needed to install a custom recovery.

Gaining Root Access​​

You can gain root by either flashing via recovery a pre-rooted custom rom, or flashing a zip containing the SuperSU binaries or by Flashing Magisk Zip for a system less root. A custom recovery is necessary to do this.

After completing these steps your phone will be rooted, the phone will have a custom recovery installed and an unlocked bootloader. This, in my opinion, is the a practical and beneficial method for rooting your phone. It will give you some basic adb/fastboot knowledge, and should hopefully help you have a decent understanding of the entire process. This method will work regardless of any android version on the phone.

If you are confused by anything in this guide, I highly suggest getting it clarified being before moving on. Ask your question in this thread and I or someone else will likely answer. Also we would suggest that you read over the whole thread a few times before actually doing anything to the phone.​
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Setup, Preparation & Prerequisites​​

Basic tasks that may be referred to throughout this guide:​​

Open Command Prompt: Press Shift + Right Click anywhere on the screen and select Open Command Window here

Enter Fastboot/Bootloader Mode: Turn the phone off. Hold volume up + power until the "fastboot" screen appears. [Alternatively, if Advanced Reboot is enabled, you can press Reboot > Bootloader from the power menu.]

Enter Recovery Mode: Turn the phone off. Hold volume down + power until the "OnePlus Logo" screen appears. [Alternatively, if Advanced Reboot is enabled, you can press Reboot -> Recovery from the power menu.]

ADB and Fastboot Installation​

1. Download the ADB For Windows from here Credits [MENTION=4638083]Snoop05[/MENTION] his Original XDA Thread Here

Or You can manually update Fastboot and ADB binaries here Credits [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] his Original XDA Thread Here

2. Run the .exe file downloaded from above as Administrator.

3. Press 'Y' every time the installer asks for.

4. Continue Driver Installation.

Now, ADB and Fastboot have been installed on your PC and should be Working as desired.

Things To Remember​

Show File Extensions

:good:

Open a command prompt window and run "Control folders" (without the quotes). Go to the View tab and uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types" option. This will help avoid confusion when renaming files.

Battery

:good:

Ensure that your phone has at least 60% battery remaining, and that your PC is plugged in and wont shut down spontaneously during the process. The procedure doesn't take very long , but its best to have enough charge in case something goes wrong.

Backup (Optional)

:good:

Unlocking the bootloader will/should completely wipe all data from the device. This includes apps, settings and even the contents of the internal sdcard (pictures, music, etc.). Copy all important files off the phone onto a PC or upload them to a cloud.

USB Debugging

:good:

On your phone go to Settings > About phone > Tap on Build number 7 times. This will enable Developer options. Now go back to Settings > Developer options > Enable USB debugging

Enable OEM Unlocking

:good:

On your phone go to Settings > Developer options. Then enable the 'OEM Unlocking' option. Also make sure that from now on, OEM unlocking option is enabled before you reboot as sometimes, it might get disabled itself.

Enable Advanced Reboot

:good:

On your phone go to Settings > Developer options. Then enable the 'Advanced Reboot' option.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Unlocking Bootloader​

Turn the phone off. Then boot it into fastboot mode by holding volume up + power or select reboot to bootloader if advanced reboot is activated via developer options. The phone will display "fastboot" text indicating that it has successfully entered fastboot mode.

Plug the phone into your PC, then open a command prompt window on the desktop (Shift + Right Click -> Open Command Window here) and type:

fastboot devices

This command will list the connected devices. If your phones serial number shows up you are good to go and may continue. If the phone is NOT listed this indicates that your drivers are not installed correctly. In order for you to continue you must fix your drivers so that your phone is listed under fastboot devices.

If the phone has been recognized by the command above, proceed to unlocking the bootloader with the following command:

Remember this Step will WIPE EVERYTHING off the phone so Backup all your Data

fastboot oem unlock

You would be greeted with a Unlock Bootloader Warning page, Hit the Vol button to select Yes and turn it Blue and Hit the Power Button to Execute the selection

Your device will reboot, show you a Secure boot warning, reboot into stock recovery and wipe all data. Once done, your phone will reboot into the OS.

Please continue and follow the next post to install Custom Recovery

Gaining Root Access

​

This is a continued post from the above post...

For Users who want to remain Encrypted:

:fingers-crossed:

1. Boot into TWRP Recovery and allow system modifications.

2. Swipe right and enable modifications.

3. Select your preferred Language, Tap “Never show this screen on boot again,” and Swipe allow modification.

4. Navigate to Install and select Magisk Or SuperSU to root OnePlus 5.

5. Swipe to confirm the flash

6. Reboot System

Keep in mind that the first boot after wiping the phone may take longer than usual, as the phone will need to rebuild the dalvik cache and initialize other first boot and would reboot a few times due to SuperSU Flash.

For Users who want to Decrypt Data have to Format Data & Flash No Verity OP5 Zip

:fingers-crossed:

1. Boot into TWRP Recovery and allow system modifications.

2. Swipe right and enable modifications.

3. Select your preferred Language, Tap “Never show this screen on boot again,” and Swipe allow modification.

Go to “Wipe” section and tap “Format Data”, and type “yes” to mount internal storage

4. Download & Transfer no_verity_op5.zip to the device over MTP from here Credits [MENTION=2447659]snowwolf725[/MENTION]

5. Go to “Install” section, select no_verity_op5.zip, and swipe to confirm the flash

6. Transfer latest Magisk/SuperSU to the device over MTP to your Oneplus 5 & Swipe to confirm the flash

7. Reboot System

* MTP, known as Media Transfer Protocol, is the same way you transfer files from your PC to your device when booted into system.

Congrats! That is all! Your Device now has an unlocked bootloader, a custom recovery installed and is rooted along with your preference of staying encrypted or decrypted.

Warning: Do not flash partial update OTAs (under 1 GB) on a modified device! If you want to use partial OTAs, you must first flash a full OTA that it applies to, and then flash the partial OTA from stock recovery. Flashing partial OTAs from TWRP will either fail or soft brick your device. You can return to a usable state by flashing full zips in recovery.

Enjoy :fingers-crossed:
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Making a Nandroid Backup​

Warning: before you make a backup with TWRP you must remove all Lockscreen Security. If you do not do this you will not be able to unlock your device after restoring your backup (entering your pin/pattern/password will result in an "incorrect pin/pattern/password" message), you'll be forced to perform a factory reset to boot into Android.

To remove lockscreen security go to

Settings > Security > Screen Lock and set it to Swipe/None.

A Nandroid Backup is a very important thing to have before installing any custom software on your device. It's basically a backup of your stock system that you can fall back on if anything goes wrong or if you just want your stock ROM back.

You can also use Nandroid Bckup to create a backup of your favorite ROM set up exactly the way you like it. The backup you create can be easily restored using the restore tool in TWRP recovery.

To Create Nandroid Backup:

1. Boot into TWRP Recovery .

2. Go to Backup Menu and select all the listed partitions.

3. Name the Backup if needed (Optional)

4. Swipe to take Backup.

This proces should take 4 to 8 minutes depending upon the size of data.

5. Reboot System when done.

Your Nandroid will be stored in the Backup Folder inside TWRP Folder /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Restoring a Nandroid Backup

​

1. Boot into TWRP Recovery

2. Go to Restore Menu and select the backup you want to restore.

3. Select the partitions you want to restore.

4. Swipe to Restore. The process will take 6 to 10 minutes.

5. Reboot system once done

Note: If you happened to forget to remove lockscreen security (PIN/Pattern/Password) before creating your backup, and you cannot get into your OS after restoring, you can do the following to fix the issue.

Boot into TWRP

Use the TWRP File Manager and Navigate to /data/sytem/ and delete the following files:

locksettings.db

locksettings.db-shm

locksettings.db-wal.

gatekeeper.password.key

gatekeeper.pattern.key

You may or may not have all the above files so delete the ones you have.

Reboot the phone and (if you've set a PIN) enter it to decrypt the storage one more time. After that you can simply unlock your phone with a swipe.

Upon Boot > Go into Settings > Security > set your preferred unlock method

Android will ask you if you want to set a boot-time code too so select as per convenience.
