ota and root without fastboot

Hi,

I don't have this device, but it's my next one !

On all my nexus devices (should work on 5t) when ota is available (every month), I just let android download it, uninstall magisk from the manager (do not reboot), and I use flashfire to reboot and flash the detected ota package.

Just remove all flashing options, keep flashing ota and add the last stable magisk.zip.

Uninstalling magisk restores the stock boot.img (unless you have a custom kernel), and flashfire allows to reflash magisk just after ota update (if /system isn't modified), so you keep root.

btw, booting on custom recovery (via fastboot) to flash root the first time keeps your stock recovery.

So, it should work on 5t :good:

If any troubles, just reflash stock boot,img and system.img from official ota or full zip :D

I use substratum themes, u can use K-Klock or Ozone for that.

I have seperate update threads running in the same section, Stable or Beta take your pick
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Micheal86:
Thanks for sharing. :good:

The 3 colors line in you SB - what`s this and how do I get this one same like you ?

And which substratum theme is it ?

Thank you once again for sharing.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Oh that one is the battery bar, sadly it does not work on Oreo yet, i use the energy bar on Oreo !!
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Micheal86:
Thanks for sharing.:good:

Battery Bar is now installed and working in OOS stock 4.7.6 (Nougat).

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

I`ve tried substratum themes, K-Klock and Ozone in Stock OOS 4.7.6.

But nothing is working.

Does substratum work on stock OOS (Nougat) ?

Sorry for the off- topic.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] tcat007:
Do you have the substratum app installed? Are you rooted? If not you also need Andromeda. Ozone, Swift Black work well for me (N or O).
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Micheal86:
Yes.

My device is rooted with magisk (15.2) and I`ve installed substratum app.

Substratum from Google Play and Ozone for Nougat.

Hello everyone! can any of you kindly post the ibe recovery file? thank you so much
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Narekrocks:
I'm sorry if this has already been asked (couldn't find by searching), but is there a flashable zip or other method to remove the annoying boot message that tells you that the bootloader is unlocked?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Micheal86:
Not possible (correct me if I`m wrong).
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] agentsandy007:
Judging by the wifi icon, the theme used by op is Valerie.

I'm using Liquid remix rom and theme works wonderfully. All apps are themed compared to others.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] iSparko:
Thanks for the guide. Everything went smoothly.

I just wanna verify something.

If I made a nandroid backup using blu_spark TWRP and switched to Codeworkz TWRP, can I restore from that nandroid backup?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Ozone works fine, i hope you are using the N version and not the O version !!

Use Codeworks/Blu Spark instead from the OP

Yes that's one theme that i also use on Oreo and the developer has also raised the support for Oxygen OS / 5T :good:
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
I would recommend using the same TWRP version for restore so you can delete the one you have and make a fresh one from Codeworkx or shift to Blu_Spark. Both recoveries work well for now :good:

password needed when first boot into twrp recovery

Hi, followed instructions until first boot into recovery (TWRP), but first thing appearing in screen when booting in twrp is asking for a password, something related to decript data or mounting data, not sure.

I can skip entering that password (that i dont know), but after that I'm unable to find the folder where magisk zip it is supose to be neither i can find the default folder ( android, camera, music,......)

Please any help is welcome!

Thanks in advance
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Please enter your Oxygen OS boot password, its the same and its needed in order to decrypt the storage :fingers-crossed:
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] guachine:
So, here it is what i did:

1) Disabled pin

2)reflashed recovery

3) enter recovery mode: enter in twrp, I could see all folders.

4) but next time i booted into recovery it was not TWRP, it was a black screen asking me to choose lenguage (between chinese (I guess) and english). There were some options like wiping data, intall,....but definitively it is not TWRP

What's wrong??help!
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
That's the stock recovery, it generally overwrites twrp when you flash OOS without root. Just flash twrp again followed by latest Magisk and it will stay.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Micheal86:
I`m using OOS oreo OB1 and O version right now and Ozone is working fine. :good:

Is Awesome navbar working in O ?.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Yes that's works on O as well :good:
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Micheal86:
I tried, but it doesn`t work here. After applying, no change is made.

BTW, My device is encrypted right now. Should I decrypt or stay encrypted ? And I`m using Blu_Spark TWRP - should I flash Codeworkx TWRP ?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Works fine here, you need the version 1.8 which has the Oreo and 5T support. Stay encrypted with bluspark, good for now and follow my beta update thread for future updates :good:
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jamie_oppo:
Yeah I bought the latest version 1.8. Works perfectly. Just changed the navbar to pixel and set the colour to black and looks better. I just wish it was like a normal navbar and fully compatible.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] guachine:

Use the recovery tool and it will reset everything
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] a6NsRhQk:

I'm having issues restoring my nandroid backup. I backed up boot, system, system image, data, modem. After I restore the backup, the phone boots but none of my apps are there. Just the wallpaper and nav bar.

I tried restoring with both system and system image (every other partition included). Then just with system image. Then just system. No luck with any combination.

When I try to restore both system and system image I get an error in twrp saying: failed to mount '/system' (structure needs cleaning)

Anyone have any ideas?

I did not have lock screen enabled either

[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkDestiny08:
I'm having issues rebooting to bootloader.

Don't get me wrong, it all worked for a while.

I flashed TWRP and rooted my 5T successfully in the first go (about a month ago)

I also installed OTA updates by downloading full zips and flashing via TWRP.

The problem now is when I boot into Bootloader via advanced Reboot it gives an option to START(in green), Reboot to Bootloader, Reboot to Recovery and Power Off.

I tried the START option which always worked before. But now, it reboots the phone to the ROM instead of going to Fastboot as it should. Rest of the options work as expected(Reboot to Bootloader, Reboot to Recovery and Power Off).

I tried many times, it always reboots the phone. I tried with USB cable connected to computer and without it, nothing works, it always reboots.

I tried ADB reboot bootloader command, same result.

Tried dirty flashing the ROM, still the same.

I can't flash TWRP and root anymore. Please help me out. [MENTION=6143932]Funk Wizard[/MENTION]
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] 9InchNail:
I have the same problem. Just got a the 5T yesterday and updated to the latest while testing, am now trying to get TWRP installed. As of yet, there is no easy way to enter fastboot.

**Bah, nevermind, it wasn't unlocked.**
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fignoleur:
Thanks man for all the guides you've posted, super helpful and easy to follow.

Been from OOS to Omni, to OB1 back to Omni and now back on OOS, OB2. Never had an issue...had a Nexus 5x and got in some sticky situations ;) So thanks again for the guides.

Using Valerie and very happy with it!

How did you get the toggle colours in your stetting menu printscreens?

Battery bar link? Only available on N?

Icon status bar colour, link? Or is this managed via ozone?

Thanks
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkDestiny08:
Mine is unlocked, still no luck. I'll be grateful if someone can help me out on this.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] zer0se7en:
I don't know if this has been answered already... But I am having a hard time figuring out why whenever I reboot I always need to enter my pattern lock before the phone gets fully usable. Even when booting to TWRP. It always ask for pattern and it only decrypts after I enter it.

I am a previews Nexus 6P owner... Since I've never encountered this before, I really have no clue on what to do except disable the patern unlock and not use the fp scanner.

I'm feeling like a newbie now. Haha.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ktmom:
You hit "yes" during set-up to the question for use password to boot device. There's a great big button for yes on the right and a small "not now" or something on the left. I don't want that feature but it almost gets me every clean flash.

BTW, I think to disable it you have to change lock to none or swipe. Then check in pattern lock again. I think the option to use for boot shows up.

[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Nope, if you've used the recovery tool, it resets everything and locks the bootloader. AFAIK you can still return your device or sell it with unlocked bootloader as it does not voids the warranty.

Whenever you take a nandroid select all partitions and restore will happen on the same twrp version. If you update the twrp to different version or build restore will fail in most cases. Also restore won't work when you switch the Android versions like O to N or visa versa.

With Xposed installed safety net would fail, else it passes just fine with Magisk.

You can try the conventional method. Power off the phone and then long press volume up and press power at the same time. When you get vibration release power while keeping the vol up pressed the device should boot into bootloader :good:
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Appreciate your support buddy and glad I could help. I am also running Beta 2 for now. You can use any battery bar on O from the play as the earlier one does not work and I have shifted to energy bar for now. If you want multiple colours you can try power bar, it has lot of colour combinations and themes that can be dkwnkoaded. The rest of the setup was done using a combination of Valarie and Ozone

With O there are lot of combinations we can try with substratum Oreo Legacy support, so explore and enjoy :laugh:

Just remove your pattern from security and add it again, the system would prompt if you need the pattern to be verified on boot so you can select no there.

Just reboot to twrp and navigate to the location where you've kept Magisk .. download folder or the root folder > select and flash

I use substratum themes and you can use the same ... On Oreo you have Legacy support so you don't even need to root to use the themes. Just use Andromeda and you should be able to achieve your desirable setup. Fonts on the other hand require root access and u can use any font app from the play store like ifont. Themes I recommend using on OOS are Ozone, Valarie, Swift themes Black or Dark both are good and PB themes to some extent.

Request you to please buy these themes and support the development :highfive:

I did, but didn't get any of that option to pop up after making another pattern.

I dont know if this was asked before, so whats the difference between codeworkx and blu spark? I'll be receiving my op5t the nxt few days/weeks. Am. Coming from opo :)

[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ilulale:
I lost my twrp recovery when I flashed the OOS 8.0 beta 2 and i am trying to get it back since, when I flashed it (via ADB) I got the recovery but when I go back to system and boot into recovery again I am presented with the stock recovery ,also when I am in twrp I can't see any files (it basically says internal storage 0mb),is there any fix for this?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkDestiny08:
This is because the TWRP version you use doesn't work on Oreo. It doesn't ask for password to decrypt data. Use codeworx recovery for 5T Oreo (Google it) that should fix the issue.

To retain TWRP you need to root your phone with Magisk or SuperSU. Alternatively, you need a custom kernel.

---------- Post added at 06:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 AM ----------

Blu Spark doesn't support beta versions of OOS. So no Oreo support so far as we're still in Open Beta 2. Also doesn't support any custom ROMs.

For features, you can compare and see for yourself which you prefer. They have both listed all features of their kernels.

[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mairo:
[MENTION=6143932]Funk Wizard[/MENTION] , maybe you should add some information about OnePlus 5T decrypton/encryption in this guide, because it's important if rooted user want to change kernel.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Glad i could help, everyone's welcome on the Telegram group where you get the updates first. Appreciate your support.

I recommend codeworkx and Bluspark over official twrp as these are up to date when it comes to flashing OOS or any 8.0/8.1 roms interns of encryption/decryption keys. If you want to hop on 8.1 roms for now use codeworkx else use bluspark, I personally prefer bluspark.

You don't need to be decrypted to flash a kernel, I use custom kernels and stay encrypted at the same time. Just flash a compatible kernel and you are done

Guys i need help.

I wanted to unlock my bootloader, installed driver etc.

adb devices - i can see my device

But rebooted into bootloader and

fastboot devices - i don't see my device

What did i do wrong?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mairo:
[MENTION=6143932]Funk Wizard[/MENTION], what kernel do you use? I have tried bluespark but this one wants decrypted rom.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Install fastboot drivers again and proceed with the instructions.

I am using the new kernel by [MENTION=2040569]jgcaap[/MENTION] for now on the latest Oreo beta and it's a good mix of performance and battery
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] rockuman_ex:
Thanks.

I already have updated the drivers from the first post.

I'm using windows 10 64bit if that makes any difference?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
If the device is not recognised in fastboot then it's definitely a driver's issue and u can't proceed without that. Try updating the drivers again preferable systemwide fastboot drivers
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] rockuman_ex:
Yep, you are right!

I finally updated the driver all good now!

I could unlock my bootloader and installed TWRP (official twrp-3.2.1-1-dumpling.img).

On the first boot of TWRP, I swiped right (allow modifications), but the next time i rebooted to recovery, i got the stock Oneplus recovery instead of twrp.

Edit: Rebooted again to recovery, I got TWRP now!

yay!!!

Thanks all!
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Recommend codeworkx or bluspark twrp over official as they are synced with the latest 8.0/8.1 trees and work better with encryption/decryption keys

On next OTA you will need to download and flash full ROM from TWRP, then flash Magisk to prevent OOS from overwriting recovery.

Will flash full rom delete my data?

And i have to flash magisk again?

I'm currently on the official Oreo build on my 5t using the official TWRP recovery.

I've read that the official TWRP build doesn't work well on Oreo. If I want to switch to the the alternative TWRP for Oreo, (Codework or BluSpark?) can I simply use Flashify to install the new recovery or will using ADB be good enough.

I've never had to switch recovery IMG files before so apologies if this is somewhat of a noob question.
