Anyone facing issues with microphone. I thought it was kernel issue (render kernel) ,so flashed the ROM ( xxx no limits) again and didn't flash any other kernel. Still facing issue.

Sound is not recording properly in videos (lots of disturbance) plus when taking calls over phone, other people reporting lots of disturbance, loudspeaker mode or plugging in earphones with mic seems to fix this issue. Any help would be appreciated. I am afraid, whether all of a sudden, the microphone has stopped working (Hardware issue).

Hi, have searched but couldn't find this exact issue. I used the universal tool kit to unlock the bootloader, root etc. Phone was working fine with an unlocked bootloader and root access. However, I wanted to revert to stock so tried to reverse the process. Wiped, locked bootloader etc but now the phone just goes to the OnePlus bootscreen then goes blank - with a light blue led. I have unlocked the bootloader and gone through the root process again but can't complete it as I can't boot into android and enable USB debugging etc. Basically no matter what I try, the phone is stuck on a blank screen with the light blue led. Can enter fastboot/recovery. Is someone able to suggest what I should do to get the phone booting into Android again please? Thanks.

Hi! Had my OP5 since 2 days before launch and very happy with it. But I've always been keen on testing alternate kernels and ROM's. Is there a newb guide for this for this particular phone? I've don't these things a lot with other phones, so in general I know lots of the drills???

I would also take suggestions on the best overall ROM's and kernels to try.

Rooting and unlocking bootloader guides are available, but im still feeling hesitant to get started with the rest until Ive heard some user experiences on these things ? please forward me to the best threads ?

:edit if someone knows a fix for the RAM lag after 4.5.8 it would also be great
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Binary Assault:
I use stock OOS with Revan kernel. I love it. Great battery life and super smooth. I am using the 8gb model. I am a day one user.

I am not on 4.5.8, was just going to upgrade but I'm going to go research the ram issue you speak of before I do. I am on 4.5.7.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] erkkiboy83:
I don't have the ram issue after upgrade to 4.5.8 clean full install. But battery life is horrific... Had about 9 hours of battery with about 3 hours screen on time. 4% power left at four in the afternoon after moderate use on 3G network and GPS on device only setting...

Edit : seems to be working better now, only that battery drain is definitely caused by mobile network, not wifi. I was on wifi with screen on for about an hour reading and gaming and lost 6%. Turned off wifi and did the same on 3G network and 18 % down in an hour...

Going Back to OOS

I have been using Resurrection Remix and now that I'm trying to go back to OOS because of a hardware defect so I can return it, I can't get OOS to work properly. Every time I flash it, I just get a boot loop. does anyone have any ideas on how to fix that? Is it possible that since I had to change the filesystem OOS doesn't work because of that?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Hetalk:
I backup my photos to google photos.

WhatsApp messages to gdrive.

SMS and call logs to gdrive using "sms backup and restore" app from play store.

All other stuff from my internal memory to my pc.

I boot up my new device first and use it for few hours without adding my Google account. If everything works fine, I unlock bootloader and then setup my device.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] SlyUK:
If you were to then flash a custom rom, would you then have to repeat the above ?

In that case I'd do the ones i noted and also use titanium Backup for backing up my user apps, so I dont have to redowmload them.

OP5 Bootloop after updating/drivers won't install

I got my oneplus 5 and there was an update. I installed it and after installing it, my phone softbricked and got stuck in a bootloop. After trying to just wipe the data (which didn't work), I attempted to install the stock firmware via adb but for some reason windows says "The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. Recommendation: Try reconnecting the device. If windows still does not recognize it, your device may not be working properly". I have tried uninstalling various drivers and reinstalling them but it hasn't worked. Does anyone have any ideas or maybe I'm not doing this right?

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] BenSow:
Hey guys,

Not exactly a newbie but I've always rooted my phone within days of getting it. Now I've decided to root my OP5 almost a month after my first use and I need help backing up. As unlocking the bootloader will wipe everything on my phone I was wondering whats the best way to backup without Root and then restoring it later? I've seen the adb method but those posts were back from ICS days not sure if they still apply now. Also I've read somewhere in this forum someone mentioned adb doesn't restore everything, I primarily want my photos restored as I can reinstall and readjust everything else.

If I copy my photos to my PC and then paste it back after rooting, I can trust it won't screw up the dates and arrangement in the gallery app right?

Thanks

Does flashing kernel over stock rom.reduce the photo quality of the phone camera ? Also what are some good kernels that make the phone faster and keep the battery in good shape ??
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
No, kernels should not affect camera quality. That is a ROM related thing.

The most popular and known kernels for this device are probably franco kernel and Boeffla kernel. You can't go wrong with any of them, both by well respected developers.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Ratchase:
Although you said they both are good and I can't go wrong with them I just wanted to ask your preference or if you can you recommend one if I want one for smoothness /performance and stability with not much power consumption

I f*#ked up!

Hello! I was gonna change ROM on my phone and I mixed data and internal storage together in my head, so I deleted everything on my device.. I have accepted that everything is gone and I just want my phone to work. I couldn't transfer any new ROM to the device so I googled a bit.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72866739&postcount=2

Found these steps and followed them until the sideload step. My computer won't find my phone, I have uninstalled and installed all kinds of drivers..

Anyone know how I can fix this problem so I can use my phone?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
Hang on. You said you did everything until the sideload step (7). So that means you already flashed the stock recovery. The stock ROM is flashed through the stock recovery, not through fastboot/adb. That's what it says there.

"sideload the full zip with stock recovery".
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] AzuriaN:
Sideload is via adb or have I got that wrong?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
Wait, I may have got it wrong. I forgot that it needs to be pushed to the internal storage first, and then flashed with the stock recovery.

So adb doesn't see your phone anymore?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] AzuriaN:
No, it doesn't see my phone :(
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
I haven't used those two kernels because none were available for my previous device and I only got my OnePlus 5 yesterday and didn't do anything to it besides unlocking and rooting.

So I can't say which one is better.

Restart Bootsloop

Hello, apologies for my google english. I have my mobile kompetted and the data formatted. Now it is encrypted. Then I flasht the current firmware and then the official RR Rome. Now I have the problem that every restart in a boat loop ends. (Android is started) Then I have to make every time everything new synonymous because the backup play ends in a bootsloop. Does somebody has any idea ? Thank you
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
Do you have any double tap actions assigned to it? If so, that's the reason. The devices has to wait and see a certain time if you are potentially doing a double tap, and this causes a slight delay.

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 AM ----------

Try a different USB port. Preferably one in the back of the PC, as those are the primary ports.

I've had this phone for a couple months now and am really liking it. I'm thinking about rooting, but have a question first.

My main concern is that I have a few apps that won't work on a rooted device. I know there is a program that will conceal root, but what if an app update stops it from masking? Is there a way to quickly turn roof on or off? Seems that could be really helpful.

SMS-delayed

Hi there,

I got my 1+5 yesterday, and I gotta say this phone might be perfect to me.... Buuuut, it seems one thing is annoying me : SMS (the ones I recieve) are randomly delayed (5min-1hr).

I'm using the Textra app (which I'm sure has nothing to do with my problem), I can see that all SMS are coming at once (I can check the exact sending/recieving time with textra), but the thing is : I'm not sure it's happening whether the Wifi is on or the phone is in "sleep mode".

Agressive doze mode is disabled in battery settings, normal doze mode is enabled in developers-mode...

If anybody has something to help me, I'd be really happy :D

Ty!

Thank you mate, I'm having some confusions over this rooting stuff. I never rooted any device personally so little confused about somethings, hoping to find answers for them.

1. What is the purpose of installing Magisk manager, is there any difference between SuperSU and Magisk?

2. I'm having OnePlus 5, so it doesn't come with an external SD card support, so on such devices if i save backups in internal storage will they be gone once i flash a custom rom?

3. While flashing a custom rom is factor data reset and system partition clearing necessary?

Thanks,

Peace
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
Regarding your previous post about TWRP - it is currently not recommended to restore stock ROM backups. It's written in the TWRP thread.

Now, before rooting and anything else, there's something important you need to know.

First and foremost you will need to unlock the bootloader of your device. This is a very simple procedure and you can find various videos and guides. But you have to keep in mind one important thing: Unlocking your bootloader will WIPE ALL YOUR DATA. Everything you have on your device right now will be deleted, including pictures, videos etc. So you better copy everything you don't want to lose.

Now, let's move to your questions.

1) Magisk Manager is a root manager app. It allows you to "control" root amongst other things. So yes, you will need it. SuperSU and Magisk are 2 different root solutions. SuperSU used to be the standard and most common root solution, but Chainfire (the developer of SuperSU) sold the app to some company and many people have lost trust in the app.

Since then many people have switched to Magisk as their go-to root solution. Another reason why many use Magisk is due to its root-hiding capabilities. It can bypass SafetyNet - a common root detection system used in several apps like Pokémon GO, Super Mario Run, Snapchat and others.

So if you care about those, use Magisk.

2. There are several scenarios where your internal storage will be wiped.

- When you unlock/lock your device (as explained above);

- When you decrypt/encrypt your data partition;

- When you wipe it manually.

Flashing a ROM does and should not wipe your internal storage. Again, this is done as a result of the above mentioned scenarios.

Do note that some ROMs will require that you have an encrypted/decrypted data partition. So read the ROM thread before flashing anything.

3. Most of the times yes. Especially when you're coming from a different ROM.

If you're only flashing an update, then it's not really necessary to wipe, but it is recommended. Any ROM developer will recommend a clean installation.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Hetalk:
If you use a different sms app, make sure it's "Not Optimized". You can change that from settings>battery>battery optimization.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] sharan.salem:
Thank you mate, that was informative and helped me with my doubts. I have few more confusions regarding security options.

1. Should i be concerned about removing the security settings applied while taking backups, while restoring any backup and also while flashing a custom rom ?

2. In case i root my device how should i update my rom, should i be updating through the OTA's received or should i be flashing them? I heard there are some cases of soft bricking the device while updating, please help me clear them out.

3. What is encrypting/decrypting the data partition ? In general should the data partition be kept in encrypted or decrypted state while taking backup or flashing a new rom or updating the rom ?

Thanks,

Peace
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Dnorwood:
Found out my issue was actually a carrier issue. AT&T still limits group MMS to 10 participants, recently had added more to the group conversation and that is what resulted in the issues. Gotta love that the carrier is still living in the dark ages due to "network restrictions".

We decided to use the GroupMe app for that conversation.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
1. Yes, it is recommended to remove any lockscreen security you have applied (PIN, Password, Fingerprint) before taking a backup. Otherwise it will be restored with it and you won't be able to access the phone. I don't know exactly if this is a bug or a limitation, but that's what I read in the TWRP thread.

2. Once you're rooted and all that I think you will have to download and flash the OTA manually. I can't give you more info on this since I did not need to do it yet, I'm on the latest firmware version. But from the little stuff I read about it, you will have to flash it yourself.

3. The phone is encrypted by default. It's a security measure. I can't really explain this one. Your data is basically password protected. The password is a random key generated during the encryption process and stored somewhere on the phone.

If something happens to that key, you won't be able to access your data. The only solution would be to wipe everything.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] sharan.salem:
What are the cases that you may end up soft/hard bricking your device or getting into a boot loop, can someone enumerate them so that we newbies can take care about that and avoid such situations.

Thanks,

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] lekiaM:
Del. I figured it out myself:)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
Flashing incompatible kernels. Flashing decrypted ROMs on encrypted device and vice-versa.

Generally speaking, flashing the wrong stuff gets you into a bootloop. That's why you should always read the respective development thread for the installation steps.

Deleting important system also gets you into a bootloop, so be careful what "bloat" you remove.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] sharan.salem:
Thank you mate, that was helpful. What is flashing 'partial OTA'S' ? What are its consequences ?

Thanks,

Peace
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
I believe partial OTAs would be something like 4.5.7 > 4.5.8.

So smaller updates.

Consequences? Possibly new bugs or higher battery drain caused by said bugs. Development is hit and miss. Sometimes you fix one thing and break another.

The effects also seem to vary from user to user. Some have issues with the latest firmware, others don't. This applies to every phone.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] sharan.salem:
If my device is rooted will i be able to receive official OTA'S from the manufacturer? If so, should i be using those appear in my system update or do i have to download the respective zip files and be flashing them manually through twrp?

Thanks,

Peace
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
I believe you will have to flash them manually. As I already said, I haven't done any OTA since I got rooted, so I got little info on this.
