I have 5t in a boot loop for 6 months, barely 2 weeks after purchased & rooted to remove Bluetooth utilized to SPY & HACK my life...phone is Blocked from flashing ROM with via remote support session with OnePlus.

I am based in Hanoi, return to US every 4 months ,... Hacker deletes and blocks, ROM download ..spying is 24/7 on all devices. Must use public PCs, all told over 120 PCs destroyed and 14 smartphones in last 2 years. All Microsoft computers harbor this hacker's botnet , always morphing, most recently in WOW64 a Bluetooth software to transfer files in the absence of Wireless card... Botnet identifies me in 10 min or less anywhere in the world. The botnet's purpose is wire transfer theft, in the $ tens of millions. all of Microsoft harbors botnet hidden OS files, proliferate via Critical Adobe Security updates, as does Android in Google Play services.... Can 5t ROM be flashed without a computer? This marks 13 years of cyber terrorism from a former neighbor in Sunnyvale, California. alias the Russian Hacker, he is a low-life American of Pacific Islander extraction.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
Can you access recovery mode (by booting the device up with volume down key being pressed)?

If you have a chance to get there format data / factory, then download latest OxygenOS build from:

https://downloads.oneplus.com/devices/oneplus-5t/

and transfer it to the 5t's internal storage, then flash via stock recovery (apply update from SD card, or something like that), try to reboot... (this should work in a similar fashion if you have a custom recovery installed)

I however have no idea what you mean by "device is being blocked from ROM flashing via remote session" as this should be technical impossible (unless they hard bricked it internally) because if you look up "oneplus 5t EDL mode" you should be able to find information about "firehose" and "programmers", etc. to get the device running no matter what, this of course needs a Computer, it's not possible to interact with the device on low-level without a windows machine...
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mirahyes:
The previously downloaded Amazon recovery file for 5t was deleted as I waited for a tech, prima Donna was an hour late,.. have never been able to download the two files required for the tech since, they only partially download before the connection is cut despite excellent reception, via dns hacking,

---------- Post added at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

The link you sent, is the same file that was deleted, on a gaming computer when Hacker in US is supposed to be sleeping... I need a ROM with Bluetooth deleted, Bluetooth is a weapon of mass destruction, transmitted over wifi as encrypted python, this is how a cookie can recall the botnet on first connection to the web...

Hello may I confirm that I can use the steps and files in page 1 in unlocking bootloader, installing twrp and flashing root in open beta 15? Thanks in advance. :angel:
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
Just make sure you use latest available TWRP (preferably blu_spark's from own experience) and Magisk, otherwise unlocking the bootloader and the procedure itself is still same recommended!

Use latest version (9.85) to update the ROM, not sure if older versions are still compatible as 5.1.5 introduced "project treble" on stable OOS, download from here:

Hi guys..

Apologize for my bad English . I am new user op5t . Currently my phone is running oos 5.1.5 Oreo 8.1 . Not rooted still on stock recovery.

Shall I flash lastest twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.85_treble-op5_op5t.img and Magisk 17.1 .

Pls help .. pls give guide .

Thanks in advance
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
It is working, just open it in Chrome... It's probably a XDA Labs issue, you can tap the 3 dot menu in upper right corner & open in browser, this should open the link without issues...

Anyways, here it's another time...

twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.85_treble-op5_op5t.img

Edit: you could also try to find stuff yourself to not be dependent on other folks to provide everything, xda actually isn't a place to get spoofeed all information and links, a little own commitment is expected from our members!

Pls tell me if I flash oos 5.1.5 through old bluespark twrp recovery will it be okay because I don't want to retain twrp recovery and root?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
It probably won't be fine flashing this with a older TWRP, OOS 5.1.5 introduced "project treble" as already mentioned and all treble builds need a treble compatible recovery to handle /vendor partition - using outdated TWRP on a treblelized ROM will most likely end up with a big mess...

And I don't even understand your issue, just update TWRP before updating the ROM, [MENTION=2948558]Spannaa[/MENTION] even posted you the correct instructions on how to do this within recovery here:

I would like to unroot and lock the bootloader again to be able to use android pay.

Is there any way to do it?

Yes, but the method depends on what rom & root method etc. you're currently on.

[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
A short while ago I read a conversation where someone had the same issue as you have, the suggestion that worked was to try treble or none treble version of the kernel, furthermore I'd make sure to use blu_spark's latest version TWRP (or codeworkx's TWRP) and always check first and last posts of the kernel/ROM you intend to flash (for i.e. If you have to decrypt first) because there're usually hints to avoid scenarios like yours....

If I was you I'd start from scratch by flashing OOS, a recommended TWRP, do a nandroid backup in TWRP, then flash custom ROM (after you made sure that it works on forced encryption and you don't need to decrypt) and Magisk, boot up the system and then back to TWRP to backup again, do another backup and flash the kernel version you anticipated is correct for your setup (check that /system & /vendor partition is mounted in TWRP before flashing the kernel...

If this doesn't solve your problem please visit the corresponding thread you have trouble with (ROM vs kernel) - good luck!

Oneplus 5T

So I just got a Oneplus 5T. I previously had a Oneplus 3T with Magisk and xposed running android 8.0 and the newest oxygen available (I bought it already installed). I would like to do the same thing with this phone, or if theres a better option im fine with that. Im just a little confused about the order of operations from the OP. I will read over multiple times and follow exactly what im supposed to do, I just want to make sure i do it as accurately as it is written as its my first time rooting.

Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
This guide is still valid, just use latest Magisk & TWRP (I suggest the bluspark version as I use it myself and can confirm it to be full functional on OOS).

It's actually just "unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP and flash a custom kernel or magisk before BEFORE booting the modified device to avoid dm-verity strikes"...

No idea about Xposed Framework as I didn't use it again since the nougat blackout but I think it's working on Android 8.1, just check out the corresponding thread to find out!
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sgtoster:
I guess I just used xposed for the customizing functions for the physical buttons (volume,home..etc) so im sure there is something like that in magisk. Thanks man i appreciate it.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sgtoster:
Once I download magisk and TWRP it says place on device internal memory and TWRP img on PC.

I have literally no idea what either of those mean or how to do that. I have them both downloaded and everything to this point had worked, but I'm stuck at place magisk on device internal memory snr TWRP image on PC.

Please help.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
Alright, unlocking the bootloader will wipe everything from the device, so you need to make sure to place the magisk zip file to your download folder (or the folder you prefer on your internal storage) to be able to flash it once TWRP has been successfully installed...

To install/flash TWRP you typically use a PC and a program called "fastboot" there you'll need the TWRP image for first time installation (once TWRP is installed you can flash all kinds of versions/updates of TWRP via TWRP itself), I'd suggest you to watch some videos on YouTube and do some reading on how to use fastboot, it's not hard but you need to be careful to not mess up your device...
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sgtoster:
So i now know how to do it, but i just repeatedly am getting couldnt mount file and the disc image file is corrupted. No matter which TWRP i try to download from OP.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
If you updated the OOS version on your phone to the latest stable 5.1.5 or OB17 you need a TWRP that is compatible with "project treble" and is able to handle the additional /vendor partition, I'm using blu_spark's TWRP (twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.85_treble-op5_op5t) without issues, if you were on a older OOS version you'd need to use a non-treble version of TWRP...

Edit: is this error output from fastboot or from flashing inside the booted TWRP?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sgtoster:
the error is on my pc when i attempt to open the downloaded twrp.

oos 5.1.5
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
Ah, you shouldn't attempt to do this :) there's no need to do it, you just leave it as is and flash it via fastboot, after having the phone bootloader unlocked...

If you are inexperienced, here's a video suggesting a toolkit, doing basically the stuff for you (I however never used a toolkit of any sort and feel it's definitely the better choice to learn & understand what's going)

[youtube]hwT0KCAACCs[/youtube]

Just don't install SuperSU as suggested there as it isn't supported anymore and practically dead!

Here's a great video for the OP5

[youtube]wsjQkQKWMFg[/youtube]

process is same for the 5t, just use the 5t files instead if necessary (bluspark TWRP is unified, same file for 5 & 5t), Magisk is universal, so no problem, I guess...
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sgtoster:
No idea what that means man lol. Im very lost because the answers all seem to rely on prior knowledge or watching 12 videos with contradicting instruction. I have 0 idea how to do this, all i have is common sese to not mess up. Is there something to read or watch that tells me how to just leave it and flash via fastboot?

edit: i cant get the custom recovery into any folder because it wont let me access it to move it anywhere.

Im just going to go to sleep and try to figure this out when im not tired. I know its not that hard, there is just some dumb issue im missing.

Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
Please watch the videos I linked and think about using a toolkit (however you'll need to be very careful with it, literally one click on the wrong button can mess up your device...

Regarding the manual installation, I hope you have a PC with the recommended drivers (the universal ADB drivers should be sufficient) installed, so that the device is recognized.

Make sure you switch on "allow OEM unlock" in the developer settings and hook up the device with the computer, open the command prompt (15 seconds ADB and fastboot installer or what you did install) and type "ADB devices" to verify that your device is connected properly, your device's serial number should be displayed.

Than type "ADB reboot bootloader" to get into the level where you can use fastboot.

Pro Tip: on your PC put TWRP (or generally all files you like to flash via fastboot or push/install via ADB inside the installation folder of your ADB/Fastboot installation, in my case it's something like C:\abd\15secondsADBinstaller, and leave this folder open next to your command prompt, this way you can simply drag & drop the file to the command prompt to have it processed)

Then go on with: "fastboot devices" to verify a stable connection, again your device's serial number should be displayed.

Do the unlocking by "fastboot oem unlock" and confirm it on the device (careful! All data will be deleted) As your phone is empty after the bootloader unlock you have 2 option, boot up and download all needed files like Magisk, custom Kernel, TWRP or a custom ROM or transfer it to your phone from computer while in recovery mode.

After successfully having the device unlocked return to fastboot and go on with "fastboot flash recovery (now drag & drop the TWRP image file from your ADB folder into the command prompt) and hit enter.

Now you need to make sure that you boot the device directly to recovery to not have TWRP overwritten and be able to flash Magisk from within TWRP, alternatively you can do "fastboot boot recovery (drag and drop TWRP)" this will live boot TWRP on your phone, then you'll need to flash Magisk before first boot within TWRP on your phone or you get a permanent dm-verity warning on boot! (it's a annoying to get rid of)

----------------

Please double check the information I gave, ask if something is unclear before experimenting, I think it's correct but I might have missed something or made a mistake, you attempt this on your own risk,..
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sgtoster:
Thank you

I really appreciate the in depth explanation and your patience, so I have the bootloader unlocked without issue, and I have my device recognized by my PC. My issue is I can not seem to make my folder with twrp and magisk look like what any of the videos is showing me. Mine always seems to look very different and I can't find the twrp.img file anywhere I look. I know this is probably user error and I feel dumb but I'm just trying my best not to destroy my device. Is there a way for me to upload pictures? Is it allows for me to like offer a trusted member $5 to remote access and show me wuickly these last two steps?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
No worries, we'll get it sorted out eventually!

Do you mean the folder on your device? (TWRP image is needed on your PC for first installation) If so I'd suggest you to install a reasonable file manager / root explorer like Mixplorer from XDA, you definitely should find it via Google!

I assume you're using the preinstalled file explorer and it is pretty much useless for this case...

Check the screenshot, those files you should see and in TWRP there's a "special" image-button, you need to press it to make .img files visible, just that it doesn't surprise you once you need it in future...

Maybe you need to activate file extensions on your PC, if it's not shown there!

Edit: would be great if you could be more descriptive or post photos or screenshots, it's often not clear what exactly you mean, like now, where exactly doesn't the file show, on phone or PC?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sgtoster:
Here's what I have

I can't get mixplorer to open, I don't know how to move the twrp file as it always has the message I showed there.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sgtoster:
Mixplorer

I have mixplorer open, through adobe, so now I can't find twrp lol.

Edit I found it and it shows this message saying not a supported file type or damaged.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] DoR3M3:
[MENTION=9487209]Sgtoster[/MENTION] I highly recommend you going back to the OP (original post) and take your time and read it! It's not complicated at all, and you really need to understand it for yourself, if you don't you're going to struggle and you need to grasp it. These are simple instructions, there's not much of anything geek about it, just don't let it intimidate you! ;)

I've broken it down for you all the steps, even if you've done some, this is all you're doing below...

1. Phone Settings > About Phone > Tap on Build number 7 times. This will enable Developer options

2. Developer Options - Turn on Oem unlocking

3. Developer Options - Enable Advanced Reboot - power button now shows - recovery > bootloader

4. From the windows command prompt type - fastboot oem unlock

5. Now the phone reboots and you are 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. Now the phone reboots...

6. If you're running Oxygen OS 5.1.5 then download - twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.85_treble-op5_op5t.img because 5.1.5 has Treble support!

https://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=21949#downloads

7. Download Magisk-v17.1.zip 17.2 is BETA!

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases

8. Install TWRP with this command at the Windows command prompt - fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.85_treble-op5_op5t.img

9. Power button Reboot > Recovery - Boot into TWRP > Advanced > Terminal

10. At the Terminal in TWRP type these two commands to backup EFS;

dd if=/dev/block/sdf1 of=/sdcard/modemst1.bin bs=512

dd if=/dev/block/sdf2 of=/sdcard/modemst2.bin bs=512

11. When your done with the two commands for the EFS backup, go back to the Main section and tap Install and install Magisk-v17.1.zip

12. After installing Magisk - Reboot > System

13. modemst1.bin & modemst2.bin are placed on your internal storage! To get them off the phone, run these commands from the Windows command prompt;

adb pull /sdcard/modemst1.bin

adb pull /sdcard/modemst2.bin

Now you should see them in the same directory you have adb installed, copy them and keep these in a safe place!

You have now unlocked, installed TWRP backed up the EFS and Rooted, and that's all there is to it! ;)

P.S. You should not be learning how to hack on Android with an expensive phone, unless you can afford to brick it! You should start out learning these things on a cheap phone, then graduate your way up.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
Mixplorer is a Android App, not meant for Windows! (as seen by the .apk extension)

You're not supposed to double click the twrp.img, just drag and drop it to the installation folder of you're ADB/Fastboot installation (where adb.exe and fastboot.exe is located, can't tell you specifically as I don't know your installation path).

Once it's there you can start the command prompt, type the command and drag & drop the file into the command prompt.

However, the backup suggested by the user above is highly recommended, this is one unique file you definitely want on your computer & cloud, messed EFS actually the only thing that could render the device useless.

Thats why I mentioned before that it's important to describe your issues precisely is important, on phone or PC, Screenshots, Pics, are important to avoid misunderstanding...
