[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] JarJarWinks:
The following are my recommendations:

Root - Magisk

Recovery - I prefer blu_spark's TWRP

ROM- If you absolutely must have Oreo, I think Validus 8.0 is the best atm. If you're fine with nougat for now (like me) then paranoid Android works well. Stock OOS is great too, if you want to keep it.

You should be able to figure out how to install the roms and root from the instructions given in the OP of each thread.

Also, I recommend installing the Google Camera app with the slow motion fix for better shots.

Have fun with your new phone!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
This questions is really too vague to give a proper response. You want us to explain

what

exactly about ROMs and "root stuff"? It doesn't indicate to us whether you have modified phones before (custom ROM, and/or root), or what your level of knowledge is. You also don't state exactly what your goal or desire is. Do you want to flash a custom ROM? Do you want to root? Do you want both?

We can start guessing, and providing random info and answers. But it's probably not the best way to go about things. A lot of the info is already posted if you read and search. Everything you want to know has been asked and answered before, probably dozens of time. XDA has always been a wealth of information, for those willing to take the time to look for it.

Every phone has it's own nuances regarding mods like custom ROMs and root. Even different phones from the same manufacturer. Good advice for anyone, is to take at least an hour or so (even if you are experienced with mods - more if you are not) doing some reading of the existing resources, guides, etc.

before

you try to do anything with the phone. This will give you the best info on the proper way to mod this particular phone, with the most up-to-date methods, etc. Then, if you have specific questions or concerns, come on here and ask. In fact, I always do that research

before

I even buy the phone. It's part of the fun of a new phone, in my opinion.

I don't personally know anything about the G5. But the 3T is fairly easy to unlock the bootloader (mandatory in order to flash custom recovery, which is needed to flash ROMs and/or root), flash TWRP, then flash custom ROMs and/or root. The following guide is a pretty decent one: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...wrp-root-nandroid-efs-backup-and-more.475142/

Just keep in mind that some of the info (like OOS version numbers, etc.) are not completely current. And you should typically use the latest versions TWRP and SuperSU/Magisk. But the general method in the guide is still relevant.

Whether you root by SuperSU or Magisk is a personal choice. Read up on the differences, and make your decision. SuperSU is what most folks already know. But Magisk has some really cool benefits and features over SuperSU. I've personally been preferring Magisk lately. But it's by no means the only choice, or best choice for everyone.

Also, highly recommend you know how to return to stock or recover, if anything goes wrong (good advice before trying to mod

any

Android device). One way is using a full update zip: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/rom-oxygenos-3-5-4-mm-ota-update-t3519074

And as typical, it's highly recommended to make a TWRP backup of your stock ROM, once TWRP is installed, and

before

you make any mods like custom ROM or root. Which will give you another way to revert to the stock ROM, if you ever have the need.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] RASTAVIPER:
It's obvious that the OP never dealt in the past with Root etc.

So, the first thing I would advise is start with a good understanding of what Rooting is offering in general, which has nothing to do specifically with 3T.

All devices can be rooted, so the real question is if the OP didn't care to have it in the past, what changed now?

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] __Michael__:
Of course i did root in the past , but my last phone (Lg g5) wasn't rootable , there is some version with no option to open there bootloader , so i wanted to know if maybe i can have the same problem here.

Thank you all for the help , only one more question , i read about many GPS and camera problems , i didnt noticed any of them yet
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] RASTAVIPER:
Well, Root doesn't affect GPS or Camera and in any case, these kind of issues shouldn't affect the majority of users.

Unleashed by ONEPLUS 3T rooted
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
As I've already touched upon, your original post makes it impossible to tell your level of experience, either way. When asking such questions, it's best to be specific, give details (what you're looking to do, what your experience is, etc.)

GPS problem seems mostly on OOS 4.1.7 and 4.5.0 (4.5.1 also, it seems). And not for everyone. At some locations, the AGPS data is outdated, and leading to long waits for the GPS to achieve a lock. So depending on your location, or if your OOS version is not updated, you might not see an issue. Consider yourself lucky, and don't go looking for a problem, if it doesn't exist!

Not sure of the specific camera problem you are referring to. Some folks have complained about blurry photos in low light, with moving subjects. If that is what you are talking about, again if you don't have an issue, don't worry about it. It's not really a "bug" in my opinion. It's in line with the performance of other smartphones. Just not as good at focus (again, specifically in low light with moving subjects) as some other phones, particularly the expensive flagships like Galaxy S8 or iPhone. But you can't expect the 3T to meet all the same technical capabilities of phones that cost about double! Also, the focus in these conditions seems a bit better on the more recent OOS updates. So again, depending on what version you are on, as well as the conditions you are taking photos, and what your expectations are; the camera may not be an issue.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] gFknQ:
I agree, but with one exception. I'm using rrZenity, and i find it extremely stable on my 3t. Even more so than the official. And possibly even more so than the beautiful Sultanized rr's latest build by DroidFreak32. Plus it comes with fully functional gcam(even slowmo with all settings working perfect), adaway, wakeblock, etc. And I'm using the franco los kernel, but the built-in kernel is really good too. I'm honestly waiting for a stable RR Oreo, or oos, but thks works superbly for now. And a stable Magisk for Oreo. With Resurrection Remix, i just feel like the phone is all mine, really mine, to customize and use however I want. Just my opinion

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

Know what TWRP is, a good understanding of how to use it, and what a Nandroid is. I'm no pro, but I hardbricked my phone, as a noob, and it'll scare the sht out of you. There are two brick lifesavers that you must have a pc or laptop to use, and I can provide you links via request.

Now I can flash away with no worries. Not because of the unbrick tools, but twrp will save your a*s over and over again IF you know how to use it.

And donate donate donate. Developers work hard to enable us to have fun and "play" with our phones. And they spend a lot of time doing it. When you download, flash, love a rom or kernel, mod you find...donate. This enables these developers to continue work and make improvements. I find it all fascinating and fun. And xda is probably my new best friend. Ask questions when necessary, but before you do READ READ READ

If you're saying that rrZenity is better than the sultanized one, then I'll definitely have to try it :D and of course, franco kernel does give great battery life.

Downloading now! :good:
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] gFknQ:
I used zenity. Then droidfreak32 put out build that was better, smoother, less issues. Latest builds, I found right the opposite. Zenity 10-01 running so smoothly, Sultanized had a couple of issues for me even though it's newer. Like I said, either one of those guys put out an oreo build I'm on it, cuz I trust both their builds. Hope you enjoy!

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Haroun16:
Hello guys

My H8 is hard bricked. There is basically no rom, no custom recovery on the phone. So it's kinda useless. I already tried to flash TWRP recovery but that doesn't work, it flashes but the phone always ends up in a bootloop. Restoring EMUI 5 through e-recovery doesn't work either. So i'm basically stuck with a phone that doesn't work at all. I was on EMUI 5 and my phone is a FRD-L09. Can anyone help me please? I've tried everything I could but nothing seems to work. Please help me, i'm stressing out.

Thanks

Have you tried the dload method by first installing the roolback then the original firmware?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Haroun16:
Can you explain me how to do that?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Saeem:
You heard about the dload method, didn't you?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Haroun16:
Yeah I did, however the instructions weren't always clear. So I had to "guess" what I had to do.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Saeem:
Firstly you need to get the rollback package and the firmware for your phone from your countries Huawei's/Honor's website. Then you should unzip the files if they zipped while downloading. After that, you need to put the rollback dload package on the root of an SD card. Then keep on holding all the 3 buttons for some time, you should leave the keys after the phone vibrates and takes you to the installing screen or something((I cannot exactly remember). If you see it successfully covers the 100% then remove the rollback dload file from the SD card replace it with the firmware dload file and do the same thing that u just did. (it may take some time while flashing the firmware
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Haroun16:
Hello, I can't find the original firmware on the website? I'm from belgium & I have FRD-L09, but when i look on the site I can't find it. I do have the rollback package.

[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] MegaSharkXDA:
OK guys, I'll try to be as concise as possible here.

I have both an Xperia XZ and an Xperia X running Pokémon GO.

The thing is... Xperia XZ shows visibly less FPS on Pokémon GO than the Xperia X, and this despite the fact that:

. Xperia XZ sports the Snapdragon 820 processor while the Xperia X rocks the Snapdragon 650 processor

. Xperia XZ used to be able to run Pokémon GO perfectly in the past.

So is there any setting I might be missing? And yes, battery saving mode is disabled.

Thanks in advance!

I want to know (if anyone knows?), precise steps to avoid DM Verity, and root your phone?

Hey, i came here after a long time now, When i had OP3T, i use to root it, it use to have DM Verity issue, at time will prevent me from booting, at times it will boot but message will always appear before booting, it was a mess with encryption.

Then i went Apple Way and life was easy, now again i am with OP5.

I just want to root it,

1) to change fonts, to Roboto Medium, to make them bolder

2) to Freeze batch of Apps with Titanium Backup App

that's it,

What i know? from old experience with 3/3T

1- Unlock Bootloader

2- Flash TWRP

3- Flash Megisk

thats it?

You don't make a aluminum phone and cover it in plastic. If you want to color it, you anodize it. If you're going to use plastic, make the whole thing out of plastic and include wireless charging. Also, lower the damn price. Nobody wants a plastic phone for $850.

I carefully bent it straight (there is a small kink in metal frame right side just above center button) the front glass is not cracked at all. Everything else seems to work beside the screen. *** I will push "4" and the key adjacent character is recognized, also it will type on its own or type 3-5 characters when I only pushed one...

Questions:. Does this sound like touch screen Replacement will fix these issues??? Or is thier additional interface hardware attached with the touch screen, or both?

Well I got a notification for the seller that the color I ordered is out of stock. They will ship when the receive it. Will wait and see. As far as the front camera goes.
