Well some are complaining of boot loops even in official OTA's. I think even they have installed the leaked OTA's that were uploaded here. I never tried those OTA's and just installed the Official OTA yesterday night. Everything went fine. Am not sure incase you have tried the leaked OTA's. Anyways your boot loader is unlocked.. So you can go ahead and try..
[X Play General] himanshunegi1987:
I was under the impression that even with unlocked bootloader you cannot downgrade your OS....... is this wrong ?

My bootloader is locked but i have not installed cutom recovery. Does that mean i can simply install Marshmallo using fastboot ?

**I did update my OS using these leaked OTA`s
[X Play General] rajdip92:
I was on complete stock rom, just my bootloader was unlocked, got error while updating through the official ota which was pushed today and stuck in bootloop. Has anyone faced similar issue? How can I relock my bootloader?
[X Play General] Shibin_1985:
Once boot loader is unlocked you can down grade even from Oreo to Lollipop :) If boot loader is locked, you won't be able to downgrade :)
[X Play General] rajdip92:
Whenever I try to relock my bootloader I get this message.
[X Play General] Shibin_1985:
Locking boot loader is a tedious process.. Be careful as you may mess up your device if you're not well aware of what you're doing..

I have installed FreedomOS on my OnePlus 5. I'm not sure if this is related to FreedomOS, but when I try to make a backup in TWRP with data, system, and boot, it has an error with createTarFork() shortly after it gets to backing up data. It also says 'read only filesystem' when I try to open Terminal from Advanced and run 'cd /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/bad7d639 && rm -rf backup-name'. What can I do to fix this and why is this happening?

EDIT: I have 32GB storage left
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Pro4TLZZ:
I had error 255 when restoring the data partition on my elephone p9000, for me it was because it was a bad data write and it was corrupt.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8298852:
What was corrupt? How did you fix it?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Pro4TLZZ:
Something in the partition, so I didn't restore that
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8298852:
Which partition? I just wiped my device and reinstalled FreedomOS.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Pro4TLZZ:
Userdata partition
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8298852:

What's the difference between TWRP and bluspark TWRP?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8298852:
I can't restore; I deleted all my backups in an attempt to free up space.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8298852:
I think I found the solution!

1. Go to Wipe in TWRP, swipe to factory reset

2. Download:

OnePlus Recovery: http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/OP5_recovery.img

OxygenOS: http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amaz...3_OTA_015_all_1708252353_e6d7756780064352.zip

3. Rename recovery image as recovery.img, boot phone into fastboot, plug into computer, run these commands on the computer:

fastboot devices

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot boot recovery.img

4. Open recovery on phone

5. Select Forgot Password, will wipe all leftover files in SD Card.

6. Boot back into recovery, select reload, select Install over ADB or Install Over USB or something similar and plug phone into computer.

7. Run 'adb sideload oxygen-os-filename' without quotes on computer.

8. Let it install OxygenOS, it may appear to be frozen at some points; it probobaly isn't, so don't shut it off or unplus USB.

9. Download Bluspark TWRP: https://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=26601&task=get

9. Reboot into fastboot, plug into computer and run these commands on the computer:

fastboot devices

fastboot flash recovery bluspark-twrp-filename-location.img

fastboot boot bluspark-twrp-filename-location.img

10. Success (hopefully)

Oh. Wait. Now it has the same error when I try to make a backup. (I feel like it might be from installing https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/kali-nethunter-magisk-t3676681, but they say it's unrelated). Doors anyone know why this is happening again?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] killswitx:
the solution to this was to boot to your previous rom that u have made nandroid backup with and then setting up the same password/pin in settings > security. When you then boot into twrp it will ask you for the pin/password to decrypt your data partition and then you can flash the nandroid backup(you have to have the same password there). here it is obvious that you are trying to flash data partition that uses different encryption password (in case of stock rom there is non) and this obviously wont happen.

maybe another solution would be to connect externally usb and unmounting data partition and then restoring from usb...
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Need4Sneed:
I'm having the exact same issue, but trying to create a Nandroid, not restoring one. Happened on Codeworkx TWRP 20180414. I always remove my passwords, fingerprint, pattern, and face data before I backup, update, etc. since I'm encrypted to avoid issues, and it still happened. I flashed the latest blu_spark TWRP and got the exact same error in the same spot in the data partition backup.

Never had an issue like this before. I even tried saving the data partition separately and still got the same error. Very strange indeed.

All other partitions backup without issue.

I'm on xXx v10.5 w/ ElementalX v3.04, Encrypted

If anyone has any insight, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much!

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] turbotorsten:
For me flashing normal oxygenos with magisk 16 and formatting data and trying to make it boot with the new flash and then rebooting into recovery and restoring made it work. I guess it has to do with the right filesystem having to be made first.

hi guys,

i've read all the thread in XDA related to ERROR 255, can't find anything to solve my problem trying to backup on TWRP ending with this error 255.?

I'm not using any parallel apps, not using Apps Locker, don't have any folder 999 (searched using Root Browser).

I've tried deleting all fingerprint, face unlock and screenlock as well.

No joy.

I'm using latest TWRP 3.2.2-1, OOS 5.1.7, Rooted.

Appreciate any help or sharing experience.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] emike09:
Wireless charging on my bundled Wireless Charging Convertible pad stopped working yesterday and I haven't been able to get it to function again. Starting yesterday morning, the charger pad wouldn't recognize the phone at all, case off. After playing around for a while, including clearing the cache from Recovery, I can get the charger to recognize the phone, the phone now says Fast Charging, but the phone continues to drain over time vs charging. Some users in the past have gotten a Charging Paused message, by I don't get that message unless I remove the phone from the charging pad.

I've tried two Samsung Fast Charging AC adapters, the USB cable that came with the charging pad, and an Aukey cable, same results.

Has anybody else experienced any issues like this with their Note 8 or convertible charging pad?

Edit: MST also doesn't work, I'd guess it's related.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
Only way to diagnose this would be by trying to charge the phone with another wireless charging pad.

Does your phone charge normally through the provided type-C cable and power adapter?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] emike09:
Found a non-convertible style wireless charger a co-worker had, which charges his S7, but doesn't charge mine Note8. Could it be the phone itself?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] nuclearrage:
I would not rule that out. I would take your charger and phone to a local best buy and test against a display, if your charger charges other phones, then it's your note. Or try your carriers local corporate store, they probably would help as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] emike09:
Well I can verify that the phone is the problem. Note 8 won't charge on any wireless charging pad, and Samsung Pay's MST also stopped working at the same time. Going to contact Samsung and see what can be done, hope I don't have to set up a new phone yet again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SuBDivisions:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
Probably not much help but are you on the latest firmware? When I updated mine it said the new changes were for the camera & wireless charging but of course no other details.

I haven't had a problem with mine though even before the update. I don't have the bundled charging pad though, I'm using the older Samsung fast charge pad.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tabicatwoman:
I have a Note 5 that will not charge on either a normal wireless Samsung charger or a fast charger Samsung pad IF the protective case is on it. This started just this week. I can remove the protective case and then it will charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] emike09:
I don't recall getting an update on or after 9/25. N950USQU1AQI5. I did get an update that improved camera performance, but it was a week or two ago. Just performed a factory reset, no luck on a fresh install. I can also confirm MST on Samsung Pay still doesn't work after factory default, they have to be related. Frustrated I'm going to have to deal with warranty. After two Note 7's, going through another Note 8 is beyond frustrating. QA @ Samsung could really use some work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] emike09:
So Samsung has agreed to repair/replace the phone, but I'll be without the phone for 3 weeks. Since I just switched to Verizon, the only old cell phone I have won't work. Since I bought from Samsung.com directly, Verizon won't help. Samsung.com refuses to provide a loaner/temp phone or to cross-ship a new one. Their manufacturing defect means I have to bear the burden of their problems. I wouldn't care too much about wireless charging, but MST is also affected, and I love MST.

Lesson learned - Never purchase a phone directly from Samsung.com, even if that means getting a discount or promotion.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] RojasTKD:
I just sent my Note 8 in for the Same thing. After 4 weeks of ownership it stopped charging wirelessly.

The Samsung Rep I spoke to seemed to think it was related to the NFC, something about NFC being involved in the wireless charging some how. So MST must be the reason.

I sent my Axon 7 for warranty repair the same day. Luckily I still have my LG V20 and Nexus 6P (with is horridly degraded battery), so I have backup phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ncotton:
I'm on firmware AQI5 and wireless charging has stopped working completely. I've tried Samsung and third party chargers, all of which worked last week and still work with other phones. So I'm thinking it's a firmware bug...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Akrue:
Describes my problem almost perfectly. Now on my third VZW note 8. First one charged fast wireless for exactly a month. Second one, worked for eight days. Now the third, 7 days.

All four of my offical Samsung wireless chargers quit recognizing at the same time. FYI; two charge pads and two charge stands all fast wireless and purchased thru out my time with S7 Edge (went thru 2 rounds note 7). To add to that the new promo convertible quit at the same time as well.

Pretty darn sure it's in the phones. The latest phone charged wirelessly to 100%, then nine hours of driving later, no go. Pulled my UAG Monarch off, still nothing. Tried the other wireless chargers, nothing. No new apps or settings changed during my drive. Thoroughly confused.

All three of phones were put thru the ringer with VZW tech support: check this, check that, safe mode and the end all factory data reset, still no go every time. I contacted Samsung directly once, what a waste of time. Their only answer was send it in for evaluation and possible repair or replacement, you should have your phone back in a couple weeks. Second go around with Samsung, I was transferred by VZW. Their answer that time was; send the phone and the charger. Had to reply, which charger, all of them? Samsung, then told me all of my older chargers aren't compatible with the note 8 and must have damaged it. That style of charger is still readily available and advertised as note 8 compatible.

I've never used NFC or MST, so I can't comment on that.

All three phones fast charge on the wire.

Can anyone verify compatibility or lack there of with all these fast wireless chargers I own?

Willing to try anything at this point. I would dump the 8, if I didn't use the pen so much. Been using note phone since the 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] RojasTKD:
It's the phone. Contact Samsung for warranty repair.

Just got mine back and its working fine again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SiNJiN76:
Do you know what they had to do to fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] RojasTKD:
According to the rep I spoke to it was to do with NFC, as it is somehow involved with the wireless charging process.

Sound a bit strange, but others are saying that wireless or MST payments are both affected. So I guess wireless payments and wireless charging are somehow connected.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mlkaufman:
I don't think it is. I got them to do a warranty replacement, and my new phone worked fine. But, as soon as I wiped my old phone in preparation for returning it, it started working as well. Then, a couple of days later, my new phone stopped wireless charging.

Right now, I am just hoping that the Oreo update fixes it.

I also am not convinced about this. My wireless charging is not working, but myt Samsung Pay works fine.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] znos:
Maybe you have an older ROM on your device, that doesn't support hi-res in IE. A ROM upgrade should solve the problem.

For me I found a work around was to use MvRTrueVGA (freeware) found at the link below:

This makes most things appear in VGA resolution. Certain things didn't appear correctly but no show stoppers (You can always switch back to qVGA using VGAtoggle found in programs section).

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] DrearyDepp:
I re-unlocked my device a few days ago after a long time of using MIUI. Unfortunately, I am now facing a peculiar problem I had not faced the previous time I unlocked my device.

I cannot seem to replace MIUI stock recovery with official TWRP.

If I use fastboot flash recovery xxx.img, the terminal does confirm that the action was successful. Yet, when I reboot into recovery, I am greeted by Mi-Recovery 3.0 instead of TWRP.

My initial thought was that maybe there was some restriction in MIUI that prevented the stock recovery from being replaced, so I flashed RR 5.8.5-FINAL. I still cannot flash TWRP.

Some other info:

The MIUI build I was on: MIUI 9 7.9.21 Global Beta

My phone: RN3 SD 2GB/16GB variant, Fpc fingerprint sensor

The temporary workaround I used to flash RR was directly booting into TWRP using fastbooot boot xxx.img

NOTE:

I did a standard wipe (factory reset, followed by wiping System, Data and Cache) when I flashed RR.

As you might imagine, using fastboot to boot into TWRP every time I want to flash something is quite tiring and so if anyone can help me to permanently flash TWRP, I'd be really grateful. Thanks in advance.

PS: If this question has already been answered, then please guide me to the relevant thread and I will take down this one.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] aldhi:
This problem also happened to my friend's Redmi Note 3 MTK. I don't know if it's going to work on KENZO or not.

The solution is to flash the TWRP recovery image through fastboot ==> Turn off the device by holding down the power button (DISCONNECT PHONE FROM PC) ==> Boot the recovery using button combinations

This should let you boot into TWRP and stays permanent after the first session
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] vamsikri1234:
Flashing Through Fastboot/EDL Mode

Flashing Twrp through Fastboot is the permanent way of flashing the recovery...The method is very simple and can be done even on locked bootloader but the thing in locked bootloader is that once you have flashed the TWRP the internal storage is inaccessible because the data is encrypted so you need to wipe->format data ...then press "yes" ..by typing yes the internal storage will be formatted completely so make sure you have a backup ...and do copy the ROM file in SD card for flashing ...after wiping process press install then select SD card and flash the ROM and gapps and enjoy the TWRP...

Refer this link for flashing process youtu.be/rCONN1_IPuU(please add https:// before the link)

Hope this solves your problem...

I'm curious if anyone out there has been successful in getting their HotSpot to work without the subscription.

I work off of a corporate and locked phone so I am trying to get my hotspot working as it is a grandfathered unlimited plan.

I haven't been successful so far, so who has been? What did you do in order to get your hotspot working?

In the past I had a Note 2, Note 3, and LG G4 all had to have a special modded app in order to get the hotspot to work. I was hoping that something like this would come around, but I think I will have to wait until a successful Root method is available :(
