[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] wase4711:
even though I have flashed thousands of roms over the years, since I got rid of my Nexus 6, I havent had a phone that I could flash roms on, so, after dumping my Note 8 for this great phone, I was very hesitant to flash a custom rom, for all the reasons you have mentioned..

So, my question is, can you flash ANY of these custom roms by using the clear method that you mentioned in the OP?

If on one of the beta releases, is the procedure the same as I am showing below, or, do you always have to first return to stock OOS?

In my years of flashing dozens of phones, you never had to go back to "stock" if you wiped everything before flashing, but, it seems like on several of these roms, you are instructed to first return to "stock", THEN flash the new custom rom...

Plus, some roms say to wipe everything before you flash, and others say not to wipe system, or not to wipe data...

Unless I am nuts, I always thought that you wipe everything before converting to a totally new rom, but, maybe I am wrong here too..

"for me,I go into TWRP,flash custom rom,flash TWRP zip,then I reboot into TWRP and flash gapps and magisk.if internal is crypted and I can't flash gapps and magisk,I do a boot into rom,and back to TWRP to finish my flashing.wiola,it boots and works,clean rom and all is fine."

These instructions seem pretty clear and concise, hopefully, they are correct, and we can just use this exact method and be done with it!

No mention of wiping in your directions...what do YOU wipe before flashing a new custom rom?

Hopefully, this gets cleared up once and for all, and we can ask the MODS to make a sticky of the ACTUAL CORRECT INSTRUCTIONS>>

thanks

-if on custom rom,probably it's good to first go to stock OOS and then to another custom rom.but this is also strange to me,as I don't understand what are benefits of this.i also read this,Google heh.i tried going from AOSCP to PixelEcpirince without flashing OOS in-between process,all was fine.

-I haven't been on Beta OOS yet,only stable.But that thing bout "before flashing custom rom,flash stable OOS even if your on Beta OOS" is also a big question to me.they are practically the same,both are latest OOS,one maybe more stable them other,but this also can be discussed hehe :)

-i don't wipe anything!! when my custom rom boots,I go into it's settings, without setting my Google account and other stuff, and I do "factory reset"( not in TWRP,in custom rom's settings!).Phone reboots,and all is fine,clean beginning,TWRP works,root works.About unwantedFolders in internal storage,I delete them manualy.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] shawek:
Only thing in my experience to wipe in TWRP is DATA,but this is also questionable,as I run into problems also doing data wipe I TWRP.

Now ROMs(maybe only for a/b devices) have scripts that wipe previous System during flashing new rom,so we don't have to do a Clean Flash anymore.

I'm also confused,more I read,less I understand ?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] wase4711:
I like the idea of wiping via factory reset, once the rom boots, but, if it does NOT boot, then you wouldnt be able to do it that way..

I guess flashing an OOS based rom over an OOS based rom would always allow you to boot, if done right..

But, roms like RR, Carbon, AICP, and a couple others that have shown up here recently were never really OOS based roms, but AOSP based, at least I thought so..

the more I think about this, the more confusing it seems to get..
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] jamescable:
This is from the pixel 2 xl forum another a/b device

First time installing Pixel Dust ROM, or coming from another ROM:

As mentioned above, you are required to flash stock ROM before installing this custom ROM.

1. Flashing Stock ROM:

Follow these instructions: https://developers.google.com/android/images#taimen

2. Flashing PixelDust ROM:

Reboot to twrp

Wipe Dalvik cache and Data partitions

Flash ROM

Flash twrp zip

Reboot to System and enjoy the Pixel Dust Goodness!

Flashing Magisk:

You cannot flash Magisk during the initial install. You must boot into PixelDust ROM at least once!

Reboot to Recovery

Flash Magisk-v17.x.zip

Reboot to System
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tech_head:
You make it overcomplicated.

To flash both slots you only need to do a complete reboot to make sure the OS is not hosed.

You do that so if it is you can use the other slot. This is not necessary.

You flash in TWRP, change the slot and reboot into TWRP and flash the other slot.

It could be easier if TWRP allowed flashing on the inactive slot.

But, even if you are rooted and want to upgrade it is suggested to upgrade both slots.

I think it's just a minor pain. There are bigger problems.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] shawek:
it's not a minor pain if most of time that I go to flash custom rom,I lost all my 60-80gigs of internal data, cuz of failed decryption,or failed rom flash,or failed TWRP flash.There were times when I did Factory reset in TWRP,flashed OOS,flashed TWRP.zip,did reboot to recovery,and I lost recovery.I was left with bootloader (fastboot) and had to fastbooting OOS few times(which led to full wipe of internal storage).OOS wasn't even flashed,or TWRP wanst even flashed.And I just followed instructions.

this are the things that I'm talking about.Even if I follow instructions, instructions are not detailed.

now I probably know how to do it right,,but still...I learned it hard way,and still learning

thanks for your opinion and answer:good:
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tech_head:
I understand now.

The instructions are not clear for most of this stuff and you can screw up.

If something fails to flash, there are very few reasons to ever completely wipe. Even a factory reset does not require a complete wipe of data.

I would suggest at all times keeping a boot image of the current OS you are using.

I would also suggest keeping a TWRP.img on your computer. You can always boot from a TWRP image even if it's not the one you want to install.

That will at least get decryption and the ability to flash.

I don't flash custom ROMs, because the stock one with root does what I need. Also the fingerprint sensor is not guaranteed under custom ROMs and I need that to work.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ecompton59:
no verify opt on most after data wipe or that brands version of it, then reboot to twrp verify is still not there because twrp will say no os installed the avb changed things every phone is different depending on their security Samsung for one

Try this guide. Read the first paragraph if you have problems with decryption.

Boot twrp

Wipe dalvik and data

Flash rom+twrp

Reboot SYSTEM!

Boot back to recovery

Factory reset

Flash gapps+magisk

Reboot and done

No data loss or PC needed...
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
So here's some food for thought. I read somewhere that when you install a ROM zip via TWRP it actually Installs to the Inactive Slot. And when you reboot to TWRP after reflashing the Installer it Switches Slots and then you can Flash GAPPS etc. But what if someone were to flash the ROM twice ; once to each slot? Would be noice if We can use this to Multi-Boot Two ROMs at once....
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] foamerman:
I think that question was asked in one of the threads in here "can use this to Multi-Boot Two ROMs at once" and I don't think it's possible. I'm sorry I don't remember the thread it was in. You might try Google.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Frosthaxx:
It's wise to do the oos in both slots which you can switch slots without rebooting fyi because when you flash a custom ROM no matter if you switch back to a it'll flash magisk and probably gapps in the inactive slot. If you try to return the custom ROM to slot a after it flashes it will say insufficient room for gapps and such. So to me it seems this makes it a clean slate so it can flash to inactive slot. Hope that clears up why they encourage the double oos flash
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] SuperUnkn0wn0ne:
Everyone, I think you have almost helped me figure out how I screwed up my 6T. I made a post needing help but this thread I believe is the answer. I wanted to install lineage16 but opted for Resurrection Remix since that dev claimed the fingerprint reader worked. To make a long story short, I flashed the latest .15 OxyOS update first, switched partitions via TWRP and flashed it again, them flashed TWRP and rebooted to recovery. Flashed Remix then TWRP again and rebooted to Remix. Now I have no room for anything in storage although it's only 25% full and my file explorer cannot access any storage not can I update apps through play store or anything. I have the latest OxyOS on my OTG flash drive as well as TWRP and magisk, but every time I find a thread on hope to do an installation, it varies and I keep coming back to this storage issue. Can someone PLEASE link me out tell me where to find the correct process to now start from the beginning and get my phone back working on the OxyOS .15 stock rom? Thank you very much and I'm glad I found this thread because it finally makes sense as to how misinformation is causing many people to have issues.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] lynxon:
You may have solved this by now, but I found that using the MSM Download Tool has enabled me to return to stock OxygenOS even after getting stuck in a boot loop. I've not been able to successfully flash RR or LineageOS however, still getting stuck in said boot loop...

So i have 9.0.3 + root + unlocked + Magisk.

Install this new rom update, but more and more i have difficulty time to activate Viper4sound.....im going nuts and crazy to the point to send the phone donw a river:cyclops:

What i do:

Press corner right, get out from Viper (with or without jack inserted) sometimes did work, not now...

Reboot.....not doesn't work.

Kill Viper, press Viper, and nothing.

Remove and inset several times jack, with or without jack.....

Lately, put music on poweramp, without jack and use headset, then go to Viper and is activated. Insert jack....not activated.....:silly:

Im audiophile, i ear music and i NEED Viper4audio...and this is completely crazy! Even try on last version install as system, but it tells me is not installed with drivers error or something...

Why cant i put this **** work??:(:(

P.S. - i dont have TWRP and i use last Viper4sound version on Magisk. With 9.0.2 i didn`t have so much problems...:crying:
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] _MartyMan_:
Make sure you use the one in Magisk repo with newest drivers and as system app.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Mord0rr:
Already did. Sometimes appear, others not.....

Why can`t someone inject this stuff directly on the rom and Nuke it?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] maigre:
It's working for me on 9.0.3. But I've had difficulties at times, too. Are you running any other audio mods along with V4A? If you are, try installing Audio Modification Library. It's in the Magisk repo. Install it last after installing any other audio mods.

You could also make SELinux permissive. Usually, I haven't needed to do that, but often, when V4A has failed, this has worked for me. If there's no setting for it in your ROM, try from a terminal on the phone:

su
setenforce 0

To make SELinux enforcing again:

su
setenforce 1

I think there's an app somewhere on XDA that does this, too, so that you could avoid the terminal if you're so inclined. Making SELinux permissive may create some security risks. I don't know that much about the details.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] stephenbryan.colasito:
1. Open Viper

2. Uncheck "Master power"

3. Click the 3 dots on the upper right corner and click exit

4. Close Viper from recent apps

5. Open Viper again and check "Master power"
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Mord0rr:
stephenbryan.colasito

Doesnt work for me, thank you.

I don´t feel confident using Terminal commands...

I read somewhere to use Init.inject or something like that....but its too risky...

Its real sad this. Is just have install Gcam, and hace to open 10X the app, until i can get a photo working....

This Mod enters in the reign of "Sorcery mods": work or not:crying:
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] stephenbryan.colasito:
You have to have a music playing whenever you check if Viper is working. Whenever you check the driver status of Viper and there is no music, it will say that it isnt processing. But when there is music, it should say that is processing.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Mord0rr:
I also know that.....its a lottery the get it working.....
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Mord0rr:
Found a temporary fix:

Connect the jack - Fast reboot - Then open Poweramp and Viper4 is kicking...

Good afternoon friends.

Sorry for english, courtesy of google tradurtor

My moto e5 plus xt1924-4, bricked after trying to install a rom, stayed in fastboot mode only.

After a friend installed the stock rom via fastboot the same again it worked, but the camera does not work and the device now only marks 1gb of ram, when in fact it has 2gb of ram, which left the device lately slow.

Note: on the fastboot the handset marks as SKU 1924-4 only with the name Hannah and not Rhannah which is its correct model.

Tb features 1gb of ram in fastboot now.

Thanks for any help you can give.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Paresh Kalinani:
The 6T just arrived yesterday, it felt really good 'cause I was coming from the ages old OnePlus One.

And boom! I had this feeling that the camera on my phone is misplaced. Both rear cameras are not in the centre, they're a bit above the centre.

Could anyone please help here? I just got one friend out here who has a 6T and comparing the two I do see some difference.

Should I care about this misplacement? I'll get a replacement if I report it within 10 days so yeah, do tell me if anyone knows about this and if I should really care and report it or is it not a big deal and just fine. The phone is perfect - those cameras work perfectly, I tested them individually by the tests in *#808# and both work.

Attaching some images of my phone and also one that I found on the internet (which I feel has the same issue?).

I've marked the cam in yellow and the asymmetrical hollow space around it in green.

(It's the 256GB model by the way)

isnt that what OIS does?

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] bladestonez:
Quick visual assessment of my device appears the bottom camera is up a tiny bit and top is down a little. If I get a chance I'll throw my phone on the metrology imaging device at work and verify if my eyes are playing tricks on me. Regardless I don't think it's anything to be concerned about.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] bladestonez:
Checked mine they are very close to centered as you can see in the picture. The dots in the center of the circle represent the center of each circle. Probably hard to see though.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Swimguy14:
What are you talking about? That has nothing to do with this post

To op;

At first glance I thought you were probably seeing things but after looking at your pics it does seem pretty clear that the camera units are not 'properly' centered in the frame...

It's really up to you as to whether you want to RMA for a replacement. I had to replace mine for different reasons and am glad I did but if they are functioning properly, as you say they are, I might just not bother with replacement.... Definitely weird situation though.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] p51d007:
Is it making a drastic difference in the image quality of the photo?

If not, then I wouldn't worry about it.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Paresh Kalinani:
Ah, yes. I know that the 16MP camera above the flash does move 'cause of OIS but I've seen the top one exactly centred on other phones. Looking more precisely, I saw that the rest position of both the cameras is a bit above the centre (of course both, because they're mounted on one board).

Haha, thanks. Appreciate your help!

OMG you really did some work on this! Thank you so much. I can see the dots and that's the same problem as mine. The difference is that your error is very, very less as compared to mine. Any problems with the cam so far?

Hey, thanks for looking into it. Would you recommend any sort of check for testing the secondary cam functionality? It's just day 2 for me so I'm sure I haven't digged in the phone as much as you have.

There's absolutely no change in the image quality. The cameras are not broken or anything, just misplaced.

It's just that this being my most expensive smartphone yet, I was a bit concerned. Thanks!

I guess I forget about this now until someone really points some unknown fact about this. Before Valentine's day! :D

Thanks!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Paresh Kalinani:
It's all good.

I showed it to multiple local repairers and all of them suggested to not go for replacement if I had to use the phone for important things, back then. I spent a lot of time testing both the cameras at the back thoroughly and they had no problem at all. I didn't do anything! I did not get it replaced. I can still see my cameras are misplaced but there's no issue at all. Top class photos and videos, used a lot.

So I can close this with : If you're concerned about your camera's positioning, go get your device replaced. If you're concerned about it's functioning, don't. They're 100% fine. :good:
