What I don't get is the fact that every beta update almost always requires clean flashes. But I remember dirty flashing nearly all the beta updates on my op3, regardless of substratum, magisk, Bluspark twrp and kernel and even a layers theme I liked to use. Is it because Oreo oos is still unstable or is OnePlus derping somewhere on the builds?

Anyone got camera issue?

Suddenly, it become like this picture

Left is problem happen, and right after reboot it become normal.

Must reboot phone everytime it happen. Hahaha ?

Clear data camera? Already done. Wipe cache and dalvik? Yeap done.

But it still happen. ?

Sometimes, camera app freeze and closed itself.

Not logic in bright place, camera show like we at low light place. ?

Devices are rooted, Magisk v15.1 and Flash Kernel v2.13.

I think not cause root and custom kernel right?

Cause i found at Bug Report on OnePlus Forum, saw a guy got same issue like me. ?

Any suggestion? So sad, OB3 are epic, but LB2 no camera issue. ?

beta3 works very fine for me (face recognition works properly)

But : lost all my data :)

With unlocked bootloader(I saw now the post above)

Stock recovery & update via ota

the device could not booting ( in beta2 with the same way, there was no such problem)

after wipe data/ factory reset the device started

Thanks !
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Launchpad McQuack:
Somehow got myself hosed again. Tried to dirty flash from OB2 to OB3 and ended up in dot spin of death.

I was on OB2, rooted, with TWRP, encrypted. I had turned off passcode security.

After 20 minutes hoping it would boot, I gave up and rebooted to recovery, with expectations of restoring my Nandroid backup from TWRP. However, it would only boot to stock recovery. I then tried to boot to bootloader so I could fastboot flash recovery, but in fastboot, my device won't show up. In Fastboot all I see is my device ID, secure boot (yes - should this be yes?) and that my bootloader is unlocked.

I went back to the OS (OB3) and had to reset developer options. This did not fix anything. I can see my OP5 device just fine in main OS with adb devices, but nothing in Fastboot. This means I cannot root or install TWRP currently. In frustration, I wiped everything from stock recovery of OB3 and hoped it would work, but nothing. At this point all I have is OB3 with stock recovery and no way to root or install TWRP. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you. I know how to flash recovery normally and how it should go. I tried to flash Magisk from stock recovery and all I get is installation failed. I cannot get Fastboot to show devices, meaning I cannot flash TWRP. I'm not sure of any other way to gain root access without Fastboot and TWRP at this point, and I cannot use Fastboot. I've tried reinstalling drivers, nothing has changed.

is it screen recorder

Sry...I don't understand my enhlish is :(

Root without twrp & fastboot ?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Launchpad McQuack:
Kingroot does not work on Oreo as far as I know. My bigger issue is that I cannot see my device from Fastboot and no idea why or how to fix. If I could see my device in Fastboot, I could install TWRP and then flash SuperSU or Magisk and root and be done with it.

after uninstalling the drivers you tried reboot your pc?

and remove signature if you are in windows10?

Guys I was on OB2 , updated to OB3 faced bootloop !

My phone was encrypted and I couldn't take backup so flashed Stable OSS5, booted phone up and it worked.

I have made backup of my data. Currently on official recovery !

Now I want to flash OB3 and also I want to disable encryption !

Please tell me what options do I have ?

I am thinking Blu_spark's recovery --> wipe data and internal+ caches --> OB3 full zip flash --> no_verity_mod v2 --> reboot to recovery --> reboot to rom !

Dont flash Flash Kernel v2.13 on OxygenOS Open Beta 3, it will make your camera dizzy. hahaha

For those have problem bootloop, i got that problem too.

But, if you enter recovery and Erase Everything (your data will wipe) and it boot normal. I also unlock bootloader user too.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
The problem is that you are going from stable Oreo build to beta again. The encryption keys were changed in the beta and Blu Spark isn't supporting beta builds--just the official ones. That's why you need to format your data again if you are encrypted and choose to flash this. You won't need to format your data with every update if you stay on official Oreo builds. The other solution is to run your phone decrypted since encryption is what everybody is having problems with.

[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] meiax93:
If you bootloop, go to recovery and go Wipe>Erase Everything (this link format data, and data will losing) and reboot. Believe me, it can boot nicely.

If you in TWRP, you do Wipe>Format Data cause you can see weird folder names hahaha ?

So after flashing all the stuff and before i boot in OS i need to fastboot and flash recovery again?

/edit:

Did it step by step again but after every reboot stock recovery is there.

I do remember you needed to toggle something to prevent this from happening but can't seem to find it.

Were is the restore stock recovery option located in OOS Beta 3, it isn't in developer options.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ulxerker:
... or just flash the .img in twrp and reboot into twrp afterwards, if that worked you can boot into OS.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] fignon:
Try these steps:

1. Flash Rom

2. Flash twrp img

3. Reboot to recovery

4. Flash magisk

5. Flash no verity

6. Reboot system
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] elbuenzurdo:
Or just reboot to recovery after flashing the OB3, and it will ask you if you want to make modifications so that the system does not overwrite your current recovery.

[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
I'm sure that the decryption keys were changed between official Oreo and Open Beta 3 which is why people who are encrypted are having problems. I'm sure that if Open Beta 3 was an official build both Blu Spark Kernel and Blu Spark TWRP would be updated to accommodate any changes that were made in the commits and encryption keys. I'm sure that the developer of Blu Spark doesn't officially support beta builds or custom ROMs.

The developer said in his thread that he might or might not update his TWRP to work with Open Beta 3 but he's making no promises and is only interested in official builds.

It is also possible that One Plus could alter encryption in an official update in a way where it would be necessary for people using TWRP to format their data again to flash it. I don't know why One Plus would do that but since it's One Plus doing things that seem to make little or no sense is always possible.

What is the procedure for installing open beta 3 without having to bootloop or various problems? I read the various posts, but I'm even more confused than before!

I currently have:

oxygen 7.1.1 rom (4.5.15), bootloader unlocked, blu_spark twrp 3.2.1, magisk

what I have in mind to do is this:

complete nandroid backup

backup of entire data and app backup with titanium backup

copy openbeta3 rom in internal storage, wipe cache, data and system, flash openbeta3 rom, reboot to twrp and flash magisk 15.0 , reboot system and update magisk to 15.1, end.

right ??
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mcduffie2010:
You should format data first. But formatting data deletes your internal storage so first you have to copy everything to your computer.

This is probably the right way.

Don't blame oneplus for that issue as those OTA's were assumed to be for locked bootloaders as since everyone knows once you're on an Unlock BL, you're pretty much on your own as if you asked those with locked one's, no issues at all.
