Rom says I need a key on Megaupload.

Well it seems that I am unable to get the stock rom. Weird that I can't find it anywhere.

cheers! Have you done this personally. There is an option to restore to a given backup and install twrp. Worth it?

Everytime I flash it with stock recovery it somehow boots into KitKat again and factory resets the phone.

The recovery I meant was safestrap recovery (not the stock recovery), since you cannot flash custom roms using the stock recovery.

Downgrade OxygenOS from 3.5.2 to 3.2.6 with Root / Xposed / Debloat

So I downgraded my Oneplus 3 from 3.5.2 to 3.2.6 and this was kind of a painful process, so I decided to share my experience with you.
If you follow this guide you will successfully downgrade from the latest Community Build to the newly released stable.
Note: Just because this worked for me, doesn't mean that it will work for you! Use this guide on your own risk and always use backups!
You'll need:
- Oneplus with OOS 3.5.2 and modified TWRP
- OxygenOS 3.2.6 Full ROM
- Latest official TWRP
- AndroidSDKSlim (needs Oneplus 3 USB drivers installed)
- SuperSU 2.78 SR1
- Xposed Framework (optional)
- Debloat Script (optional)
Downgrade:
Before you start, please create a COMPLETE backup of all your data.
You will factory reset your phone during the process.
1. Copy OOS 3.2.6 Full ROM, SuperSU, Xposed, Debloat Script to your Oneplus
2. Flash modified TWRP if you haven't already
3. Boot into modified TWRP
4. Select Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Select all but internal storage -> Swipe to Wipe
5. Install OOS 3.2.6 Full ROM
6. Reboot into system and use the installation wizard to setup your phone (do not setup fingerprints, or any device PIN)
7. Reboot into bootloader
8. Connect your phone to a PC/Notebook
9. Extract AndroidSDKSlim to your Desktop and copy twrp-3.0.2-1-oneplus3.img into \AndroidSDKSlim\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
10. Run CMD with admin rights and navigate to \AndroidSDKSlim\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
11. Run "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-1-oneplus3.img" to revert to official TWRP recovery
12. Disconnect your phone and boot into recovery
13. Dirty flash OOS 3.2.6 again (this might sound stupid but it's mandatory)
14. Still in recovery, flash SuperSU, Xposed and Debloat Script
15. Wipe Dalvik & Cache
16. Reboot into system and setup your phone
Thanks for your guide !
Can you just please detail how to revert back to a custom ROM like RR or Nuclear when we come from Oxygen OS 3.5.2 community build ?

You're welcome.
Unfortunately, I can't provide guides for procedures I never went through.
But I asume that you could just flash any Custom ROM after you completely wiped your phone in step 4. So instead of flashing OOS 3.2.6 afterwards, just flash a custom ROM. Be sure that you have all zips you need on your internal storage and a backup to revert back to, if anything goes wrong. Otherwise you will have to use ADB sideload to install a ROM.
Ok, so I have a Modified TWRP installed already. Question is If I want to flash other ROMS after wiping system,dalvik/cache,data etc. Do I have to Flash official TWRP first followed by firmware,ROM, etc?
or firmware first then ROM and lastly official TWRP?
it's quite confusing.
I made a mistake and I installed the modified recovery installed the 3.5.2 rom and before booting I decided to restore my nand backup so I flashed the official twrp recovery and now I can't go to recovery anymore and the phone doesn't boot.
I imagine I have to sideload the modified twrp again but how do I do that? How do I reboot to bootloader ?
This is the only sign of life

worked like magic. Thankyou for this education. it didnt work when i followed other folks. Much appreciated.
So it seems I have booted with 3.5.2 and modified recovery. Now my question is: can I reboot in recovery at step 7 and install the original twrp recovery? Or can I use flashify? As I don't have access to a pc
I did ok but cant use adaway do you have a fix for it?

I'm trying to return to 3.2.6 after trying 3.5.2.
However, after flashing and booting 3.2.6, I boot into fastboot mode and the official TWRP refuses to flash. It reports that it's failed and then I'm left with no recovery until I reflash the modified TWRP.
I could try restoring my Nandroid backup of 3.2.6 with the modified TWRP, but I'd prefer to return to the official TWRP before doing this.
Any suggestions?
Edit: Fixed it. I downloaded the official TWRP again and it flashed. The first download must have been corrupted.
I followed a different method and successfully downgraded today to a former nandroid. I was rooted without xposed.
3.2.6 to 3.5.2 dirty flash
- installed modded twrp
- performed backup on 3.2.6
- installed modded 3.5.2 (the only that flashes in twrp)
- installed root SR1
- wiped caches only
- reboot
3.5.2 to 3.2.6 restore
- downloaded 3.2.6
- boot to modded twrp, wipe both caches, data, system
- flashed 3.2.6 stock and root SR1
- restored 3.2.6
- wiped caches
- reboot
- enjoying my LTE again
Without first installing stock, after a restore my phone was boot locking right after the oneplus white logo (capacitive buttons would light up, but it would not boot to red logo). Had to press vol down and power to force it to boot menu to select recovery and get back to twrp
Hope this helps someone, it's a bit easier than swapping twrps and no need to boot up/flash 3.2.x twice.
So if I am on the CB and want to go back to 3.2.6
I can flash 3.2.6 with the modded TWRP
Then flash Official TWRP and boot?
If I have official recovery, no root, and locked bootloader, can I downgrade from 3.5.3 to 3.2.6 without any problems, just by sideloading the zip in ADB? Thankss

I did it and it does work perfectly. Just make sure to wipe data from recovery after flashing.
I was on Comunity Build v.3.5.4. I want it back FreeDom v.1.6.
I did:
1. Flash Twrp-3.0.2-19-oneplus3.img.zip. Somebody sugested original twrp 3.0.2.1 from twrp site. For me did NOT work. Phone not booting in recovery with 3021.
2. Advanced wipe. Wipe dalvik cache/cache/system/data
3. Flash Freedom v.1.6. Clean Flash it's safer & better.
Done. System works. Recovery works.

1. If system don't boot. Reboot to fastboot.
- Flash recovery.img. If PC don't see youre phone option 2.
2. If system boots, open phone like normal.
- Extract recovery img. Put it on the TWRP file on phone sd card.
- Download Flashify from play. Open it, flash img of recovery. Open recovery to chech if it works.
Try with both recovery (3.0.2.0 or modified 3.0.2.-19). One of those will work.
Im getting system partition has unexpected contents after OTA update after installing step 5 ????

[ROM] OxygenOS Open Beta 9 (Nougat) Update and Installation!!

Hi everyone,
We appreciate everyone’s feedback from the OxygenOS Open Beta 8. With your help, we have optimized and improved several key areas.
The changes include:
Added Expanded Screenshots
Shelf Design Optimizations
General UI Optimizations
DPI Optimizations
Battery Performance Optimizations
Stability and Performance Optimizations
General bug fixes
Please visit the download page here:
http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3/oneplus_3_oxygenos_openbeta_9/
If you’ve already flashed a previous Open Beta build, you will receive this update via OTA. If you haven’t, you will need to flash this build by ADB sideload. Your data may transfer, but there is always a possibility of losing personal data, so be sure to backup all of your important data before flashing this build. As stated before, once you flash the Open Beta, you’ll continue getting Open Beta OTAs.
Please follow the link below for the UI/UX experience survey. We’d really appreciate a few minutes of your time, as it will help us make OxygenOS even better. One last thing: this is a limited program, so we may disable this download link once we receive enough feedback.
- Feedback on UI/UX: https://goo.gl/forms/hEqMPq9U9QNrxvhc2
Note: If you flash this Open Beta build, you’ll receive Open Beta OTAs (but not official OTAs). You’ll need to manually (clean) flash back to our official builds to continue receiving official OTAs. Rolling back to official OxygenOS versions require wiping data and cache.
Thank you for your patience and as always, we look forward to hearing your continued feedback in the bug reporting forum here: https://forums.oneplus.net/feedback/.
Thank you for helping us build a better OxygenOS.
Never settle.
Installation Methods
Before we start:This method is only for the OnePlus 3
Follow the steps correctly otherwise you may brick your device. I am not responsible for any damage to your device, please ensure that your device is at least 60% charged to prevent the accidental shutdown in-between the update process.
Downloads:
Beta 9 Full Zip Official Download
Compatible Stock Recovery
********************* For Stock Non Rooted Users with Stock Recovery *****************
1. Download the appropriate OTA/Full Zip from above link and place it in the root folder.
2. Navigate to Settings > System Updates > Settings Icon > Local Upgrade & Select the OTA File
3. Once selected system would prompt upgrade now
4. Select upgrade now and system would reboot in stock recovery and flash the OTA
5. The installer would itself flash the OTA and reboot the device.
The Device will reboot and your OnePlus 3 is now running on the latest OxygenOS firmware & OS.
PS: The first boot may take some time so keep calm and wait for it to boot.
* After flash is successful go back to recovery and a wipe of cache is recommended.
* If in any case flash is unsuccessful the system would prompt you to download the full 1.4GB zip. So download that and follow the same process as above.
************************ For Rooted Users with TWRP Recovery ************************
Download Beta 9 Full Zip
1. Download the Beta 9 Full Zip on your phone internal memory.
2. Download the Latest SuperSU SR5
4. Reboot To TWRP (Modified 28) & Take a Nandroid of your existing ROM
5. Go to Wipe > Advance Wipe > Select Dalvik & Cache & Swipe to Wipe
6. Install Menu > Select Beta 9 Rom Zip > Swipe to Flash
7. Wipe Dalvik & Cache
8. Flash SuperSU to maintain root
9. Reboot System and Enjoy the Beta 9 Update
* Do not flash Xposed as not compatible with 7.0 builds yet
If you come from a custom rom, i recommend a clean flash and make sure you use the modified TWRP 3.0.2-1.28 as the official one is incompatible with the CB firmware yet.
PS: The first boot may take some time so keep calm and wait for it to boot and the system would boot twice due to flash of supersu so keep calm
PS: Rooted users may either flash the full Beta 9 Zip or they need to flash the previous full zip beta 8 first to overwrite system partition followed by the relevant Beta 9 OTA zip for a successful flash else just the OTA flash would fail with error 7 in TWRP
I was on TWRP (modded) and rooted. Installed the update (OTA) and now my phone just reboots to TWRP no matter what I do (I have even made a factory reset and reinstalled Beta8)

You can't install the ota update on TWRP recovery. You need the stock one.
Try reflashing TWRP recovery via fastboot and then flash open beta 9(not the ota)

Download the recovery at the bottom of the page.
http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3/oneplus_3_oxygenos_openbeta_9/
Copy it onto your phone with the this Open Beta 9 package.
Start up TWRP, format /dalvik, /cache, /system, /data.
Flash the Open Beta and clean the caches if asked.
Flash the original recovery from TWRP as recovery image, and restart your phone afterwards.
Your phone may boot into the new recovery, then show "Update failed", then do another restart, but after that mine was working.

flashing with twrp will result in recovery booting loop. after downloading ota simply reboot to recovery, download oneolusrecovery from ob9 page. transfer it to phone. select install image in twrp, select reocover, flash as recovery and reboot to recovery. itll show updating.. takes about 20mins
Will modified twrp also not work?
Really? The modified twrp doesnt work? I,ve read the thread in oneplus forum and some are saying it worked for them. :/
Edit: anyways, im on modified twrp, rooted, beta 8, can i dirty flash beta 9?

Did flash TWRP img after update in TWRP (just to be sure), first boot took a while tho.
Anyone tried supersu?
I have this from yesterday. I was on 3.2.8 from OnePlus site, dated 12.05.16.
Clean flash with TWRP 3.0.2-1.28, thanks to eng_stk. Flash the rom & SuperSU SR5 (if you want root). Refalsh recovery 3.0.2-1.28. Reboot to recovery. If it not works reflash recovery.
Then reboot to system.
I did not flash any mods. All it's ok.

Yep. Just make sure to have the full update and not the OTA one. Also, just in case make sure you have the TWRP img and super-su on your phone's memory to be able to flash them again
Any mirror for this? Full zip is downloading really slow and I've already stucked on twrp after OTA Need to dirty flash the full zip, but it is going to dowload around Christmas with that speed...

You should still receive OTA notifications with root. And it should detect you have root, and will download the full update zip, and it will install with TWRP.
Otherwise, you can manually download the full zip update from Funk WIzard's thread which he linked in Post #2 above (which also has detailed instructions on how to update when rooted and TWRP installed).
Works like a charm with magisk 13.6
I just did it with my OP3t and was super easy.
1) download update.
2) go to hidden folder .Ota
3) move zip file to another folder
4) put Magisk in the folder, too
5) reboot to recovery, flash ROM, then Magisk
6) wipe dalvik/cache and reboot
Edit: updated following testing of redpoint73's correct advice

As long as you already have TWRP installed (which is the situation we are talking about) you just need to flash the OTA update zip, then flash Magisk.
Magisk prevents TWRP from being over-written (replaced) with stock recovery. In other words, you don't need to flash TWRP, since TWRP is already there.

Yes.
Although I will caveat that with my rule of thumb: "hope for the best, prepare for the worst". In that a "dirty" flash of an update is often possible (saving your a lot of work setting up the device again). But you should still be prepared to wipe and do a "clean" install if you run into any problems. So back up your data, by your method of choice, before you try to update.
In particular, for a major update (such as OOS 4.x to 5.x) a clean install (default wipe in TWRP - data, cache and Dalvik) is typically advised.
Shall?? You used the word 'shall' properly in context? Kudos to the school system (I here assume India's) you attended, and to you for paying attention, using the 'King's English' in it's most proper form.

Best way to update

Hi all,
I have Redmi 4X with stock ROM, TWRP (not Red Wolf) and rooted with SuperSU.
Just received notification on phone this morning that an update is available, so what's the best way to install this without loosing my data? Note the MIUI download page is still off line.
Do I install update via the MIUI update software on phone, or should I download the update and install it via TWRP. Or, some other way....
TIA
Greg
You can update via twrp or you could instal redwold recovery (via twrp - install image - recovery) and enable OTA Miui update

Thanks for your reply. So just to confirm the steps:
1. Just download the MIUI update via About | Updates
2. Boot into TWRP
3. Install the zip downloaded in step (1) above.
4. Install SuperSU zip
5. Reboot.
Will this nuke my apps and settings?
TIA

Thanks for your reply. So just to confirm the steps:
1. Just download the MIUI update via About | Updates
2. Boot into TWRP
3. Install the zip downloaded in step (1) above.
4. Install SuperSU zip
5. Reboot.
Will this nuke my apps and settings?
TIA
Greg

Yes, i did the same thing with xiaomi.eu miui rom, but i suggest you to make backup in any case of problem cause i always used magisk so i dont know if supersu is okay with that. But it should be ok

A SIMPLER [GUIDE] For UPDATING And Keeping ROOT And TWRP

Most of the steps are from mauronofrio from his twrp guide.
To update and Keep root and twrp for OnePlus 7 Pro (you must already have root, twrp, and unlocked bootloader) :
1) Download the full 2 gb Non-Root Stock system update to the the SD card. This means download the Non-Root, Non-Patched, Non-Incremental, totally Original Stock Oxygen OS update zip through the Oxygen Updater App, and Not through the phone system update. Or you can download the totally Original Stock Oxygen OS update zip to your SD card from the OnePlus website, if it is available to download yet.
2) boot into recovery (twrp)
3) flash the Oxygen OS Stock rom (do not reboot yet!!!)
4) flash twrp (do not reboot yet!!!)
5) flash magisk, wipe dalvick cache
6) reboot
7) after start up, Reboot into recovery Again (twrp)
8) in twrp, flash magisk again
9) reboot
10) Done, go on with your merry rootin' day.
This does not wipe data, when done properly. I updated my GM1917 to 9.5.13.GM21AA using this method a few minutes ago. I kept Magisk Root and TWRP. No problems. And then I flashed me some xXx rom.
I know there was another guide for updating too, but that had too many diagrams and charts and my brain couldn't handle the pressure.
Same steps for moving back to OOS from custom ROM?

Sure! This is what I did.
I had xXx rom installed on my OnePlus 7 not pro version before I bought my OnePlus 7 pro. So, hopefully, it will be basically the same steps. Although, I am not responsible for any rats that wake from the dead as Zombie Rats and eat your phone.
1)Download the stock Oxygen OS rom to the sd card on your phone from the Oxygen OS website, or from the Oxygen Updater app, or from XDA. Just make sure it is the Stock Rom though.
2) Go into TWRP and flash your Custom Rom's Uninstaller, if there was one, that the developer made with the custom rom. (do not reboot!!!!)
3) In TWRP, flash the Magisk uninstaller. (do not reboot!!!!!)
4) In TWRP, flash the Oxygen OS Stock Rom.
4) Reboot.
The Custom Rom, Magisk, and TWRP will No Longer be on your phone.

Woah, wasn't meant as disrespect or anything, just pointing it out since you wanted it to be simple
Sorry. I was applying the universal law of the internet. Strike first, put fist in mouth second. :silly:
Thanks for your input and merry day to you.
