This is a general rule, and described in every good guide:

- When switching a ROM, one MUST FORMAT Data (not Wipe)

Unfortunately many newbies read that but do not understand that there are two options in TWRP, one for Formatting Data and another for Wiping Data, and that these two are completely different things - hence although described in the guides, they Wipe Data instead of Formatting and then they get the Bootloop

Hence not bad you wrote it here, but there will be still others who will make the same mistake again - just check into Questions and Answers, how many simular questions for the help are reported there (they flashed the ROM but did not Format Data or they Wiped instead of Formatting, and they ask how to resolve the bootloop)

I have twrp on one recovery and shrp on the other. I install my rom through shrp, but when I go to recovery through the system, it boots into twrp. I had been using Havoc os and it crashed and booted into mi 11 (It's fixed now) and I'm wondering if this is the cause. Is having two recoveries bad and if so, how do I get rid of one of them? Which aprtition should I be putting the recovery in?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] zzjea:
My current OxygenOS is the latest "12" version which after the OTA, OnePlus has strangely removed from their support site. It has some issues I don't like as well as many others who have posted on the OP Community board. The inactive partition is corrupted and I'm not sure what happened except I was rooted and tried to use Magisk protocol to keep root, but I got a bootloop afterwards. I changed the active slot to the old slot and got the new "12" version running. The inactive slot is corrupted and I get a Qualcom error message.

I want to go back to the previous ver "11" or LineageOS 18.1. However, I cannot get anything to allow me to sideload to the inactive partition or any partition. If I use adb while the phone is in normal operation, I get adb to show devices so I know I have a link. However, I cannot do adb sideload from the normal booted phone. So I have to reboot it to recovery where it looses it's connection to the adb command on the PC. It sees the phone but says it is unauthorized. It is a loop where adb works while phone is booted but not when I am in recovery. I have USB debugging set on and have revoked usb debugging and reset the whole scenario many times to see if different sequences might work so that I can do a sideload. Nothing has gotten me past this yet. I have even tried the Oxygen Updater app but OxygenOS system update won't let you install a prior version if you have the current one.

Any suggestions. Thanks
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
I've tried to sideload OOS 11 using Los recovery, but it doesn't work. And, since OOS recovery doesn't support sideloading I'd say that sideloading isn't an option.

However, using payload dumper and fastbootd may be an option. I would have tried this but I'm on 12 and there's no full install zip. But you're going back to 11 so this is a possibility.

But I wouldn't make these changes in the current working slot - don't break what's working.

I'm also not sure whether to use the OOS recovery for the fastbootd stuff or use one from a custom rom.

As you can gather, I've not done this. So you have to work out the details yourself and be prepared to be a guinea pig for the process.

If you do go down this path I'd be very interested in the outcome.

Of course, you could always use the MSM tool to go back to an older version.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] zzjea:
Since there is no TWRP for OP8T and recovery is non-existent on it, how is anyone installing ROMs on this device. I have just jumped from my original purchase of OnePlus One that still works except for the power button (it is current with LineageOS 18.1 and rooted), to the OP8T over a month ago and a lot has changed since the OPO. I have looked up fastbootd but still don't understand the differences. Comments about installing ROMS are made all over this forum but most assume you know how to do it. I have gotten spoiled with TWRP on the OPO and can flash a new ROM in around a minute almost with my eyes closed. This is getting confusing. I successfully rooted this OP8T after I got it and that was a very touchy thing having to jump through a bunch of hoops to get it done. I was surprised that it worked after all the steps that were required. It used to be that there was info on how to do this kind of thing on this forum, but now it seems that most everyone thinks you should already know the basics. Well the basics are part of my problem right now. A and B slots are new to me and I think I understand that but have not seen an explanation of how that all works when loading ROMS. I have a working phone at the moment in the active slot, but the "other" slot is corrupted. I tried to duplicate the active slot to the inactive slot and of course I can't get adb to work.... Isn't anyone else having these issues? I will look into the MSM tool again.

If you know where the info is that I'm looking for is, please give me the links. Thanks
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Rootk1t:
I presume that A and B slots are partitions

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 1970-01-03 04:30 /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_a -> /dev/block/sde11
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 1970-01-03 04:30 /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_b -> /dev/block/sde35

So try using MSM tool to restore them or find a copy of that partition from a working phone and flash on yours.

Maybe this can help you as well.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
Here's some information that I found helpful:

A/B (seamless) system updates | Android Open Source Project

source.android.com

Dynamic partitions | Android Open Source Project

source.android.com

Implement dynamic partitions | Android Open Source Project

source.android.com

Moving Fastboot to Userspace | Android Open Source Project

source.android.com

Here's a couple of ways to get one partition to look like another one:

1. The Los pre-installation instructions have instructions on how to sync the partitions. Note: it doesn't sync boot, dtbo, or vbmeta.

2. If you're rooted you can copy one partition to the other using

dd if=/dev/block/by-name/xxxx_(active-slot) of=/dev/block/by-name/xxxx_(inactive-slot)

For example:

dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot_b of=/dev/block/by-name/boot_a

Note that you can find out which is the active slot using getprop ro.boot.slot_suffix

I've written a shell script based on the Los zip in 1. (see attachment) that will do all partitions - use at your own risk. Don't run it unless you understand what it's doing.

Hello,

I just bought an Oppo Find X3 Pro and I am very happy with it.

On the other hand, the screen being really large I have difficulty accessing the upper edges of the screen.

On my old Honor 8, there was a "one-handed operation" function which was activated by simply sliding on the navigation bar.

But I couldn't find anything like it on the Oppo and not all apps I tried work.

Do you have a solution for easy one-handed operation?

I even tried the "One Handed Mode"

Android 12 is adding a native one-handed mode

Android 12 will be adding a native one-handed mode, which will work just like Apple's Reachability feature. Read on to know more!

Hi all,

I am facing the following phenomenon: I'm looking at some forum thread, say with 50 pages or so. At the top right I see a button labeled "Search this thread". Sounds like a useful tool to quickly search that thread for a certain term. I click that button, type in my search term(s) and underneath a drop down box with OTHER threads, which I do not want to search appears. Often times the thread I'm currently looking at doesn't even show up in that list underneath the search box.

So, what am I doing wrong? With the search feature as it is, I truly have a hard time finding things.

Thank you very much in advance. Driving me nuts.
[General Questions and Answers] Oswald Boelcke:
@rogerwilco75 A similar question has been raised here. Maybe the replies there answer also your question?
[General Questions and Answers] rogerwilco75:
@Oswald Boelcke Thank you for the link.

I was using a Chromium-based desktop browser and observed this somewhat inconsistent behavior on both Linux and Windows.

I will make a comparison using FF, and then both browsers with their extensions/addons enabled (most likely uMatrix and/or uBlock Origin to "interfere". DecentralEyes or HTTPSEverywhere not so much I guess), in a private window/tab and with more lowered "shields" settings in the respective browsers (cookies, trackers, DNT ...).

Back to the original question: once or twice clicking the "Search this thread" led to exactly that, then on some other occasions it didn't. I'll have to figure out that pattern.

Anyway, thanks once again for the link, since it let me get around using the ...drum roll... search function.

I guess this can be marked as "SOLVED... kind of", since I'll need to look into it deeper and get more data points/a clearer view.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Ardysan:
Guys, need help. I've selected "Wipe Data" in TWRP 3.5.2 and am now stuck. The phone does not appear in Windows. I don't know how to copy ROM file into it...
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] zgfg:
First of all, do you know what you really did?

In the title you say FORMAT, here you say WIPE - which of the two you did???

Both options exist in the TWRP, but they are DIFFERENT things

When installing a different ROM, you have to FORMAT Data (not Wipe) - hence do it to make sure you would later not have problems

Second, you first had to flash the ROM, then Format Data.

But ok, now you still have two options:

- use an USB OTG stick, copy your ROM to OTG and then navigate in TWRP to OTG and flash the ROM from OTG

- Format Data, stay in TWRP and connect your phone by USB to PC, wait until it installs the drivers to PC and you will be able to copy your files from PC to Internal memory while in TWRP (TWRP also supports MTP)
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Ardysan:
Thank you!

So apparently steps to fix this, were to flash an older TWRP 3.4.0 (don't know why 3.5 was not behaving) AND install Android driver from MiFlash dialogue... (Also don't know why as before the formatting, phone was detected alright with older driver).

Then the phone appeared in windows folder and I was able to copy files onto it

Hey all,

after a long time i've came back on xda and i rooted my android phone (rog phone 3). easy steps all done right.

then apps started to suddenly crash, i've flashed RAW 17.0823.2102.143 everything is still ok (unrooted state)

but when i press check for system updates nothing appears so i guess no OTA updates anymore ?

is there a way to completly revert to stock with ota ?

so i figured out there's a new firmware Version WW-17.0823.2104.147 on the website of asus and when i download it, its in a zip format. Already tried to put the firmware zip onto the root on my phone storage and nothing pops up (according to what i could find from asus was to put zip onto the root folder and restart would update to the firmware but nothing happened)

all goes fine with the newest firmware with TWRP (tried this method but had to relock bootloader)

but i want everything back to stock with ota if that is possible please someone help me out with this

Hi djlulcek

Yep you will need to rugrade your boot loader. you can use the search function or look in the wiki for bootloader upgrade.

Vanillia is a term used for a clean rom IE: no programes and as little memory used for running it. (please let me know if this isnt right, but thats how I have allways understood it).

I am also on wm6. but the FF version (all the programes and files pre loaded). its a little slower, but thats fine It does everthing that Need and more.

Does anyone know why I'm having android auto issues? When I connect my phone, it just loops connecting and disconnecting android auto over and over, and randomly will decide to connect after some amount of time or rebooting the phone. Just to clarify, once it connects it stays connected, so it's just an issue with the initialization.

It is not the cable, I've used it with my Galaxy for a while and even tried others. This issue was also present before and after rooting so I know it's not that. This was also present on the OP9 non-pro I tried. I also tried switching the default USB mode to File Transfer and PTP with no improvement.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] dkcats3:
Glad to know it's OP and not my phone. I'm confident the cable isn't the issue. In terms of your workaround, why not just set PTP as default in developer settings? What's different about setting it yourself?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] clavelm80:
First, choosing PTP or "data transfer" does the trick. When the connection to AA is stable, the phone goes back to "only charging" .

Secondly, I did not try "extensively" setting a default connection mode other than charging in dev options when looking for a work-around.

Some said it works for them (one 1+ forum) but when I tried it, it didn't for me. I did not try to set it, reboot, try, set another, reboot. I was looking for something better so I've skipped it and my actual work-around is okay for me.

Thirdly, I don't like to let a connection access to the data of my phone without having to unlock it.
