Hi, I'm getting my OP5 next week and i want to know what are your recommendations about the first things i should be installing on it or doing before transferring all my files and info from my previous phone (such as get the latest official update, unlock bootloader, remove bloatware, etc)

I basically just want to have root and be able to keep the stock rom so i can receive the constant updates (my wife has this phone and i can see she gets updates very often).

Ive been installing custom roms in my old phones for a while and got bored of issues and having to manually update and reinstall everything from scratch every time, that's why i want to keep the stock rom.

Thanks!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] strongst:
Hi,

If you want to unlock bootloader and root start here, it's quite easy

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3624877/post72748896

Updating the stock rom oxygenOS is also quite easy when rooted

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003/post72799040

But the OxygenOS forces the internal storage to be encrypted which you need to keep in mind. If you don't want that, both threads gives you the explanation what to do.

Just keep taking official OTA updates till you reach Pie 9.0.4 - it will be more straightforward. You can then unlock bootloader, flash Blu_Spark recovery version 9.91 and then Root with Magisk
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] drjat:
Hi. I am on Oneplus 5 running Oxygen OS Pie 9.0.4 with ROOT and xXx Magisk ROM. I want to use cast (screen mirroring) on my Samsung TV (smart TV - not chromecast) - It either does not connect at all or connects and within a second disconnects. (My TV and Oneplus are both connected to same WiFi network) . I have tried using WiFi Direct option from phone and also Cast option - nothing works. Is there some special step/mod required? Please can someone help on how to do this. Thanks

Edit : bizarre but the screen mirroring / cast worked for a few minutes but only one occasion and I don't know what I did this time.

Still trying to figure out how to get this working
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Trandaa:
Sometimes I got this issue with my Bravia TV. Just reboot the TV or/and the phone, then it works again (at least once)... That's my workaround for now
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Gruber008:
Urgent.

I have updated recovery to siankatabg's TWRP and I guess I've managed to install 5.1.4. successfully but I'm getting error when I try to install Pie. First I tried flashing zip without compatibility (with OTG) but it says my zip is invalid. I tried flashing the unedited zip but I still get the same error, what should I do?

I'm now in TWRP and waiting for your instructions.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] strongst:
Can you please give the exact error message you receive? Like a screenshot or the message itself.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Gruber008:
Here you go, I currently don't know what to do, I just tried going back (nandroid backup) and I successfully booted but I wiped everything again and flashed 5.1.4.

I want to make this Pie, thank you SO MUCH once again.

(I couldn't screenshot for some reason)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] strongst:
The error is: your zip file is corrupt. This means either you extracted the compatibility.zip without the right tool(total commander or Mixplorer, mentioned within installation instructions), wrong method(you did extract the rom file delete the compatibility.zip but you need to open the rom zip and just delete the compatibility.zip) or your rom zip is simply damaged by corrupt download or copy.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Gruber008:
No, I checked MD5, download was good, but I erased it with Total Commander on USB OTG (I'm flashing all this from OTG).

So, what do you recommend? For some reason it says I don't have OS installed even though I just flashed 5.1.4. so the only option is basically restoring the backup and removing the compatibility.zip FROM internal storage and re-doing everything?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] strongst:
If you have a pc extract the compatibility.zip with 7zip.

Otherwise maybe it's corrupted cause of extraction from otg. I never had issues with mixplorer removing compatibility.zip from internal storage rom zip.

Did you FORMAT internal storage after flashing 5.1.4? Did you flash no verity patch to stay decrypted(if you wish to) after 5.1.4 and before magisk and first boot?

It's also necessary to give the exact steps(what you wiped, what you flashed, file names of every file) cause we cannot see what you're doing ;)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Gruber008:
No, I just flashed Magisk Unistaller , wiped data,system and cache and dalvik cache and flashed OOS 5.1.4 then tried flashing Pie - that's all I did.

I did not flash Magisk and I want to stay encrypted.

Thank you once again for saving me, this is the first time I'm encountering with this issue, what to do?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] strongst:
At first you did not read the flashing instructions I linked you.

It's mandatory to follow them otherwise you'll fail like now.

If you want root, you need magisk and also you need to format internal storage which will wipe everything. No verity patch is not needed in your case if you want to stay encrypted, that's correct, but needs a format of internal storage cause the completely new 5.1.4 encrypt your storage on startup, but cannot read it properly.

You're coming from a modified old rom which makes things complicated if you did not start from scratch and even troubleshooting is a pain as you can see :silly:
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Gruber008:
Okay, now I wiped everything including internal storage and tried flashing 5.1.4. again and I'm getting :

"Updater process ended with signal : 7"

Error installing "zipfilename.zip"

Once again, I'm terribly sorry for being pain in the ass.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] strongst:
"Updater process ended with signal : 7"

Error installing "zipfilename.zip"

What is this? The zip name does not contain a rom file or am I wrong? Error 7 is corrupt file. What you're flashing?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Gruber008:
No, sorry I just shortened it up , after making a full wipe including internal storage I tried flashing "OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_037_all_1807181258_7b4b6.zip" and it's giving me that error.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] strongst:
Ah OK :)

You can try the following if you're 100% sure you don't have corruption on any zip file and formatted internal storage(not wipe).:

You can flash this recovery https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UlTftbe6wooAs4Fp0cjwXlOKmfQHgdfL/view?usp=drivesdk and try again(you can flash it with your current one by install > image) but you need to remove compatibilit.zip from Pie zip file later.

But see if you're sucessfully get 5.1.4 working.

Good luck!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Gruber008:
Okay, I've successfully made it to 5.1.4 and now I need to re-do everything since I lost TWRP and magisk, thanks for your help.

Hey once again,

I've successfully managed to update my phone to 9.0.4 version following the link you've provided couple days ago.

I just can't describe how thankful I am for your help, I literally saw you helping on every OnePlus related thread, from ADB to Magisk and so on. Keep up the good work :)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] gonzule:
Hey! I've been reading the posts you recommended me and i have some questions.

About root, is there any advantage with removing encryption on my device? I now the files will be safer (form my understanding) but i'm just wondering from the point of view of someone who just wants to keep his stock OxygenOS and receive the latest updates.

The second link you sent me is for the Pie rom for my phone, but i already update it OTA to OxygenOS 9.0.4. Is this downloadable rom the same one i already have installed, or is it a different one?

At the bottom of that post it read i should never flash partial OTA updates, only full updates (Above 1GB) if i'm rooted. Will I be missing anything important from not installing those partial OTA updates?

If a non-partial OTA update becomes available, can i just download it from my phone via the updater in setting, and install it? Or should i use a custom recovery to flash that official OTA update?

Thanks!!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] strongst:
- it's slightly faster without encryption and you'll have external access always in case of issues. It's a decision you should take. The updating process for decrypted and rooted devices is in the 2nd link. Normal otas with incremental downloads are not possible with root.

- it's the same latest one, just the full rom not incremental ota

- no, you'll not loose anything by flashing the whole rom instead of ota

- you can download it from the phones system updater, but if you have root, it will be detected and you're forced to download the full rom. As explained before and as you read: no more partial otas, but there's NO downside besides the special flashing instructions, some more time consuming procedure and ~1.8GB to download each time

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Heviletti:
I was charging my phone few days back, and after about 2 hours I checked into my phone and it was stuck showing my background with no applications etc. It did not respond to any button presses except holding down the power button.

After trying to turn my phone back on it got stuck at the OnePlus spinning logo. I shut down the phone after about 30 minutes of spinning.

I was able to access fast boot (bootloader) menu and recovery menu, and even tried clearing my phones cache and system data in the recovery menu but this didn't help.

I read that I might've 'bricked' my phone and I tried some guides on the internet on how to fix it, but I was unable get my phone recognized by my computer so that didn't work out either.

If I have my computer plugged to my PC it does indeed charge, but my device manager doesn't show any new devices, nor do I get any pop ups for new device detected. This is keeping me from even trying to unbrick my phone.

thanks for all the help in advance!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] CamoGeko:
Does it still boot into recovery using the button presses?

Can you try doing a factory reset?

Sent from my mata using Thebear Blue XDA Labs
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Heviletti:
Yes, it boots into both recovery and fastboot mode. I have tried resetting system settings and wiping cache, but I haven't pressed the "Erase everything" button.

I even got help from OnePlus support and they tried to help me remotely with no success even getting my computer to recognize the phone. They told me to go to this repair shop nearby and try to get it fixed.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] dansou901:
Have you tried to get it recognized by adb while the phone is in recovery mode? If that works, you can at least grab the data from internal storage before wiping it.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] dansou901:
When you connect your phone to your PC, the standard mode is charging only. You'll get a popup in the notification area telling you exactly that. Clicking on that popup enables you to change the mode to file transfer. Or does exactly that not work? If yes, do you use any addons like magisk or other stuff other than the ROM itself?

Is there any way to get dash charge while connected with the computer?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Trandaa:
Nope,since dash charging requires compatible accessories (cable and charger) because the higher charging rate (about 3,5A). The regular cables (and most charges) aren't designed for this high current, so if there will be dash charging, there will be a risk of damaging your cables or device
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Hetalk:
I dont think it's possible on stock ROM. If it's a rooted device, it would be a simple mod to change that position.

Same here. I'm still trying to understand how mirrorlink works.

Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Thomas Val:
Hey, I have a question regarding rooting and OTAs! As far as I've understood, flashing a custom recovery and root after unlocking the bootloader breaks the OTAs and makes it a hassle to update your phone unless you're running a custom ROM, which im not planning to do just yet. My question is: is there a way to unlock the bootloader and root the device WITHOUT flashing a custom recovery, which (hopefully) wouldn't break OTA updates?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Binary Assault:
I don't have a custom ROM

I'm on 4.5.4

I have TWRP installed and am rooted via Magisk

With an Ota, OOS detects root and does a full download. To install it, you boot into recovery (TWRP) wipe dalvik cache, install full Ota (about 1.5gb), reflash Magisk whole in TWRP

Wipe dalvik cache once more and reboot. No issues here.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Thomas Val:
That would also work, thanks a lot!

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] card13:
I realize this may sound stupid, but I consistently work with 3 different timezones (one being China so my Day/Nites are all screwed up). I just got my OP5 and I'm noticing it is set to 12hr NO AM/PM indicators, I've scoured all the settings and I see NO function to turn on 24hour or AM/PM.

The ROM I'm using is xXx_NoLimits_1.3, but I'd assume this is not something that was tweaked in there, I could be wrong if so let me know and I'll choose a different one.

Anyone have any ideas on how to display 24hours (preferable) or at minimum the AM/PM denotations?

*************EDIT*******************

I ended up using Substratum and K-Klock to add some AM/PM denotation.

Hi all,

So earlier today I was updating apps via the Google play store. Then suddenly the phone rebooted and has been stuck on the bootscreen since. I tried holding the power button to turn off the phone and reboot manually but the same thing happens. I believe I have the 4.5.2 update, rooted with magisk, twrp, and stock rom. I haven't tried doing a nandroid restore yet since im trying to preserve my data since the backup.

Has anyone else encountered this issue or know how to fix it? Thanks!

I am able to boot to TWRP. However, in the backup option I only see boot, cache, data exclu storage, recovery, system, system image, and EFS. From my understanding, there is the data option would not include any media/photos? Also, I realized my nandroid backup is on my computer... Would I be able to transfer the backup to my phone and also extract my media from my phone in adb mode? :confused:
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Binary Assault:
Yes you can

Boot into TWRP and it should allow drag/drop access on a computer.

Also, before you do that, go into TWRP and wipe dalvik cache and see if that helps

Thanks for the log, which seems OK, no issues. So 2 suggestions I recommend to try.

1. Use codeworkx 3.2.3 recovery like twrp-3.2.3-0-20190311-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img and repeat the fastboot flash and boot like you did

2. Fastboot oem lock your device after backup all off your device and repeat flashing 3.3 recovery again after unlocking your bootloader.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] gonzule:
Hello again! So, I've just received an update notification for my op5. The updater notified me it has detected my phone is rooted and that i would lose that after installing the update. Like you posted before, it downloaded a full rom (1.8 gb) which os not a problem at all since it does it overnight.

So, 2 questions:

a) can i safely install this new 1.8gb update without damaging anything else, except root? (Will still backup all my files)

b) after i update and lose root, do i just follow the normal procedure to get it back? (Flash twrp and magisk zip file)

Thanks!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] strongst:
Sure that CAN eliminate issues maybe, then you're on stock recovery and you can flash twrp like the first time. I would recommend to boot the rom once.

Which is your current os and version along with actual twrp, mods etc? Then I can tell you ;)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] gonzule:

- Build number A5000_23_190222

I have no mods installed. Just stock rom, twrp and magisk. I have some magisk modules installed, to be able to natively record calls and to have Youtube Vanced installed.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] strongst:
Ok, then it's like described here for dirty flashing https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003/post72799040 if you are encrypted just flash no verity like described at the end. No need to remove compatibilit.zip or update twrp before and after.

Hint: v7. 1.2 is the magisk manager Version not the magisk version. But I guess it's 18.1 or 19.1?

You can simply install all magisk modules right after you've installed magisk again.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] gonzule:
Yeah,, magisk is 19.1. Thanks for the info. The procedure on that link for dirty flashing if trough the recovery. Is it fine if i use the updater included with oos, the one that automatically downloads the updates?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] strongst:
That's not possible since you need to flash twrp along with magisk before the first boot and built in oos updater won't do that for you.

If you do that you need to flash twrp again with fastboot, then magisk and when you are decrypted the rom won't boot, cause no verity patch is needed too.

So easier to do linke I linked imo.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] gonzule:
Thanks! Worked like a charm (so far). Luckily i didn't have to download the ROM again as i was able to use the one already downloaded by the updater. Checked the MD5 checksum and it's the same that's available on the link you provided.

In case anyone is reading this, uninstall magisk, wipe cache+dalvik, install rom, install magisk, delete cache+dalvik. I was using a rooted encrypted rom.
