Downgrade OOS 4 to 3.5.4. - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hi everybody,
I have a probleme with my OP3T.
I have upgraded the OS from 3.5.4 to 4, but I don't succed to root the phone, mainly because of the TWRP (flash with 3.0.3.0) that doesn't access to the SD card (twrp asks a password I don't have, so that stay encrypted).
When I try to follow this guide, I always have an error with the recovery stock (recovery downloaded from the oneplus support) during the sideload step (I also try to dowload the rom with twrp, but no success...)
So my question:
Does someone can help me to come back to 3.5.4 until twrp is supported by 4.0 ?
Thank you very much

I'm in the same boat. When sideloading 3.5.3 ota it fails after approximately 45%.

I had the same problem. Steps I did in order to make phone functional:
If you don't have TWRP, you have to install it.
Then, you should wipe your phone entirely from TWRP (Factory Reset, Format Data, Advanced Wipe->Dalvik/ART;System;Data;Internal Storage).
Reset the phone and enter TWRP once again.
Copy the official ZIP with OOS 3.5.x ROM into phone's memory, then flash it.
Flash SuperSU, otherwise your phone won't boot.
I don't take any responsibility, in case you mess something up with your phone.

Okay, my solution was to: 1. boot up in fastboot mode 2. Disable encryption by opening a command prompt in administrater mode and type fastboot format userdata. 3. Install 3.5.3 from Twrp.
Not ideal to disable encryption but now I got a working phone

Thx. I might have forgotten to reset the phone after wipe, before installing 3.5.4 which is why it wouldn't install even from twrp. My solution worked though - encrypting it again will be for another day. Sick of geeking

So once you have working 3.5.3/4 can you return it to stock - I mean by relocking bootloader and reflashing stock recovery? So then to receive 4.0 via OTA?
Thanks

Yes, it's entirely possible, but what's the point? You can flash stock recovery->lock bootloader->sideload OOS 4.0, and you are stock . From what I've read, not everyone got 4.0 through OTA yet.

Do you have to be on a specific version of twrp to do this? I cant flash 3.5.4 back using the latest twrp (3031)
EDIT
Never mind all OK, was just begin inpatient

Do you have a link for the stock 3.5.X recovery? Link from O+ download section won't work..

They provide the so-called Oxygen Stock REC for OP3T here: downloads.oneplus.net/
But I always got different MD5 after downloading the img they provided.

Hey I am in same boat, does TWRP version matters to return from 4.0.2 to 3.5.3.
I have TWRP(3031) and SU 2.79. I want to revert for battery as well xposed.

It will work with 3.0.3-1 TWRP but you have to flash the ROM twice because of filesystem and put the files twice on the internal memory. Reboot recovery twice forced.
I think TWRP 3.0.4.0 should work better but I do not used it on my phone to restore from 4.0.2 to 3.5.4 so you could try and let us know

I made this but you can flash it at your own risk.
To me it worked.
And another tutorial I found but not tried is here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70310185&postcount=308

I tried using TWRP 3.0.4.1,
I was able to flash. thing is, while flashing zip in twrp, it won't show any progress for 2-10 minutes.
then it will show finished flashing
---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------
I want to share my experience,
Latest TWRP 3.0.4.1 made all difficulty easy,
I was in oxyzen os 4.1.6.
then tried sideload, it fails,
then installed TWRp and flash 3.5.4 via TWRP, (have to flash data,system,cache,internal storage) before flashing,
then it just booted, no issue

Stuck at TWRP after OTA

Hi Guys,
I'm stuck on TWRP after stupidly downloading the latest OTA and I don't know what to do!
Phone won't boot normal, just goes off, but wil still boot in TWRP
Situation:
- Bootloader, Fastboot and TWRP wil load.
- Device seen by windows
- Zip install in TWRP gets stuck at 'patching zip unconditionally'
- Another zip flashes, but gets stuck at the end, no reboot option (or was I to hasty? )
Can someone please point me in the right direction? I don't care if I lose data, just want my phone back!
Not helping:
Saying i'm a dipsh-t I know, I know, I will do better in the future, for now, help a brother out please

Flash Failed trying to Install Recovery

Hi guys, is the first time i try to install another room on my Xperia Z, i followed step by step all the requeriments
-I unlocked the bootloader
-I rooted my phone
-Install Recovery. I downloaded the TWRP App on Play Store. I select my device (Xperia Z) and i choose the last file to flash (twrp-3.0.2.0-yuga.img). I press "Flash To Recovery" and it says Flash Failed, so i can turn on my phone on the Recovery Mode..
There's another way to install the recovery? I'm a little bit worried because i heard about "Bricked Phone" and i don't wanna do something that could bring me to that.
PD: After i unlock the bootloader and root the phone, i downloader the TWRP App, and i think this could be important. The first time i open this App i have the Option to "Backup Existing Recovery". And i never installed a Recovery and in addition, when i unlocked the bootloader, all the information was deleted (yes i knew this) but TWRP gave me the option to backup and existing recovery.
Maybe if now i reset all data to zero and install again TWRP app could work?
PD2: First time i did it i don't read if the Recovery was installed. I was following instructions and tryied to reboot to enter recovery (turn off button + volume down) but it didn't work. So i once again did the same process and it said Flash Failed. Seems maybe i already have the recovery installed but for some reason i can enter
Seems i already have installed the Recovery with the TWRP Official App. The problem is that the first time i installed i didn't read the message that said if it was all ok or no. Seems was all Ok. But when i tried to enter into the Recovery Mode i coudn't (Turn On + Volumen Down Button). So again i installed the Recovery but this time it said "Flash Failed"
If i install XZDualrecovery assuming for a moment that i have already installed a recovery, could be any problem?
I m also facing problem in flashing from twrp.
Each time I m unble to flash.
As msg is showing flash failed.
@ MrDubsstep @Yuvraj aryan
hi,
both of you, did you already unlock the bootloader and after that root the phone?
TWRP app from playstore need root permission to be able install the recovery..
Thanks I will unlock boot loader and then try to flash custom recovery.

Yes i did it but my problem is already fixed.
First i unlocked the bootloader, then i rooted with Kingroot app. I installed TWRP Official App but this didn't work for me. So i installed the XZDualrecovery. After that i tried to install the ROM but again failed with another error. So after i installed the XZDualrecovery i installed TWRP 3.1.0 and then the ROM, and is done.
You can see the Chippa post, people helped me there

I'm gonna explain you all the method for you to know and if somebody has any problem.
First of all, if you did something and was wrong, go to flash your phone here: https://developer.sonymobile.com/open-devices/flash-tool/use-the-flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/. This restart your phone, quit root and recovery.
1- Unlock your phone here: https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/
2- Download and install Kingroot App, root and then download Check root App if all is okay.
3- Download the XZDualrecovery here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZ...g21jd24hub9so04tqn9vc50&randomizer=_oupgp8psh and follow the instructions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NteAd_MzsPI
4- Once recovery is installed, reboot, enter the recovery and Press Wipe and select Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache. Maybe system but i don't know.
5-Install the ROM and without reboot install the Gapps. First time maybe it could 10-15 minutes or less to restart with the new ROM, just wait.
Hope it worked for you!

1 more question,
when you install the the xz dual recovery what stock rom you use? kitkat or lollipop 5.1.1?
and when you install TWRP 3.1.0 it ask to flash at boot or fota kernel,which one you choose?

Dual recovery will work in both Stock KitKat and Stock Lollipop rom.
The very first install should be from KitKat ofcourse, because in KitKat
its the most easy to root, and root is require for install dual recovery.
The recovery must be installed in fota partition if you read instructions
on twrp homepage.
Its hard to try help people when they partly ignore
and do their own experiments ..

No, no matter if you flash or not, if you unlock the bootloader is gonna be unlocked even if you flash. If you did something and was wrong, in my opinion you should flash and start again.
And the rom i used was lollipop 5.1.1. I didn't see what you say about kernel or boot, maybe i did it wrong but i'm good now with the ROM.
I forgot to mention that after installing dualrecovery you install TWRP 3.1 but i see you know it

Stuck in Fastboot Mode / TWRP without OS

Hello people,
I have an OnePlus 3T, which does not start the OS. I can open Fastboot Mode or TWRP. I do not even know which OS is installed (I think stock rom, but do not know). When I boot into Fastboot, I get the dm-verity notification "Phone is unlocked and cannot be trusted". When I boot into system, it stops at the black "Powered by android" Screen (very first screen).
When I connect my phone to the PC and open the internal storage, it shows only the "TWRP" folder.
So what Information do I have so far (with my amateur knowledge):
adb shell getprop ...
ro.build.version.release: 6.0.1
ro.build.version.sdk: 23
ro.build.display.id: omni_oneplus3-eng 6.0.1 MOB31K eng.jc.20170208.012427 test-keys
ro.modversion: OmniROM-6.0.1-20170208-oneplus3-HOMEMADE
ro.twrp.version: 3.0.4-1
When I start the bootloader:
Product_Name - msm8996
Variant - MTP UFS
Bootloader Version -
Baseband Version -
Serial Number - *****
Secure Boot - enabled
Device State - unlocked
I tried to reflash the original recovery => device did not start in recovery anymore => reflashed twrp
I tried to flash the stock ROM => did not work (with this Error 7)
So my first question: Which OS do I have? Really Marshmallow 6.0.1?
Second: Do you need more infos?
Third and most important: How to repair this mess?
What do I want: A stable, rooted ROM. It can be the stock ROM, but also a custom, I do not care right now.
I read that this unlocked-notification appears because I have the wrong kernel? Is that true? Which one do I need?
Thank you very much for your help.
Use ADB Sideload to Sideload a ROM onto the phone since you have TWRP working. It's not a huge problem, and it's easily solvable.
*OR* you can use the Unbrick tool to solve your problem.

Thank you for your reply.
Okay so it is not important which system I run right now? And what about this kernel thing?
I can just flash it with sideload (e.g. https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...pment/rom-kernel-resurrectionremix-n-t3524715) and finished? Rooted and particularly working?
Sorry for the questions but I am a little nervous

You may want to Sideload the latest Firmware too, Open Beta 21 that is. And then Sideload a Nougat ROM. Don't sideload any GAPPs.

Nope, that's the complete stock Zip. Unless you want to install OOS, that's not the one to Sideload.
Download the FW only from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/firmware-beta-10-t3631166
And then Sideload it, reboot back to recovery, and then Sideload the ROM.

What is in the TWRP folder, anything? The TWRP folder would normally only be created, if a backup was created. You can possibly just boot TWRP, select the RESTORE option, select the backup from the TWRP folder, and get the phone up and running again.
Another possibility, if you aren't that up on adb commands (sideload, etc.), since you can access the internal storage, just download a ROM or fill stock ROM zip onto your PC, then just drag/copy to internal storage. Then boot TWRP, select INSTALL, pick the file, and flash it.
What is the background of the device, how do you not know the OS version? Did you receive it this way, or fixing it for a friend or something?

That isn't the dm-verity notification. The dm-verity notification screen is similar, but says "dm-verity is not started in enforcing mode".
What you described is the bootloader unlocked warning screen. The bootloader unlocked warning screen is expected and normal (in fact, unavoidable) if the bootloader is unlocked. And unlocked bootloader is required for TWRP, flashing custom ROMs, etc.
dm-verity warning screen is in fact normal, as well, if you have TWRP installed. That one can be disabled by a couple different methods. But it's only purpose is to notify a "average" user that the system has been modified. For XDA users that are intentionally modifying their phones (TWRP, root, etc.) the warning is pretty meaningless. Under certain conditions, dm-verity will prevent the phone from booting. But TWRP and root in themselves, will normally not do that.
Neither warning means you have the wrong kernel, necessarily. And unless you (or someone else) tried to flash a kernel, there really isn't any reason to believe that.

Flashing stock recovery will (by definition) replace TWRP with stock recovery. You probably have recovery, just the stock one (not TWRP) which is fairly useless in your case (can't flash custom ROMs, root, etc.).

Can't really troubleshoot this, unless you tell us what file exactly (file name) and where you got it from. "Stock ROM" is far too vague, and can literally mean a dozen or more different things.
Also, what version TWRP?
Using a TWRP version which does not support Oreo is one reason for Error 7. Or you may have tried a file intended for the 3, not the 3T. So these details need to be provided, before we can figure out what went wrong.

Click to expand...

You kind of need to decide which of those you want. Otherwise, there are just too many options for us to give.
Yet another option (in addition to those given) would be to flash the full stock OOS zip from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/official-oxygenos-5-0-1-android-8-0-t3728119
Then before rebooting, flash Magisk to root, and you should be all set. The full zip will put you on a fully stock baseline (including firmware). Which, if you aren't sure if you want stock, beta or custom ROM, is not a bad place to be; you can see what the "stock" condition is, before messing with things like custom ROMs. But again, it's totally subjective and a matter of personal preference, and you really do need to decide for yourself what is best for you (as an individual) at this time.

You may want to Sideload the latest Firmware too, Open Beta 21 that is. And then Sideload a Nougat ROM. Don't sideload any GAPPs.

Why not just sideload stock ROM which includes the firmware? Make life easier

Yeah, that is a good option, among many. As I mentioned, there are just too many options since the original poster hasn't even decided stock or custom ROM.

Since OP hasn't mentioned whether he wants to use a stock or custom ROM. So I gave him the link for the latest FW, in case he wants to use a recently updated custom ROM without needing to download the whole Stock zip.
Done!
Thanks a lot. The phone is working again.
I have flashed with adb sideload the firmware and the ResurrectionRemix-Rom (Nougat) and then via TWRP the gapps.
So I hope, everthing will be fine now.
answers:
- TWRP-folder: yeah I created one because I thought, maybe to restore will fix anything
- I tried to flash with TWRP a ROM, but it says "Error 7", which means: wrong ROM => but I am sure, it was the right one
- background: it was the phone of a friend of mine => he never heard anything about ROMs etc

I already offered to troubleshoot this error for your, but you never supplied the requested info. Don't assume it is the "right one" next time, but rather, give exact file names, version numbers, and let us verify. Mistakes happen, and it always is good to have another set of eyes look at the specifics.

I'm stuck in Fastboot Mode & TWRP without OS
I everyone,
Like the title say I'm totally stuck, I don't know what to do ....
I've got a OnePlus 3T few years ago, and the first thing i did at the installation was to encrypt the phone with an option of oxygen OS, and after that i unlock the oem and add root access.
But when oneplus release a major update, there was issues with phone encrypted and unlock, for that I never could make an update of the OS, so I did try to install the lastest lineage os recently, and add an "error 7".
After reading a lot of stuff and try a lot of manupilations, i'm now totally stuck with only access to the fastboot, twrp, and the recovery of oneplus.
If someone here could help me, you will be very gratefull because i can't afford to buy a new phone for the moment... thank's

This should get you back to OOS:
In TWRP:
1. Do a factory reset
2. Flash OOS 9.0.6 full rom
3. Flash this modified firmware (to avoid the issue 9.0.6 with encrypted+unlocked) https://github.com/nvertigo/firmwar...3t/oxygenos-9.0.6-bl-km-5.0.8-firmware-3T.zip (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...5-0-8-firmware-barrier-t3941164/post79758055)
4. Reboot
This should leave you with a clean install of OOS 9.0.6 and an encrypted phone with the stock recovery (TWRP gets replaced when you boot stock OOS).
From that point you can do what you want.

OK, that's a little crazy but it's working, i've got a one plus 3T A3003, but i had to install Stable9.0.3+Firmware+Modem_OnePlus3.zip and not the one for the 3T ..... then install the last lineage os 17, and everything seems to work for now !!!

Were you able to root the previous 10 build? I have the 148 rooted with Magisk canary, same as the previous two builds (just root, no TWRP). Not sure if it makes a difference, but I don't do OTA updates. I always download and flash the OTA image in adb sideload, then flash the patched boot.img in fastboot.

Yes, it does work for me. I've always been doing updates like this, on 9 and 10. Download both OTA and the full image, extract boot.img from the full image, patch it with Magisk, then sideload OTA image in adb, reboot, and finally fastboot flash the patched boot.img. Never had a problem. The only thing is that you have to use Magisk canary build with 10; stable or beta doesn't work.

getting back to the topic at hand, I flashed this, then TWRP on top of this.
Booted back into recovery.
Reflashed stock boot image.
Now I got to plug this in and swap slots to reinstall TWRP.
Is possible that magisk and twrp are back to not playing nice to each other again?
(I'll test this out if I get a chance to swap slots)

I flashed September build like this no problem however when I try and adb the October build I cannot get into recovery, when trying it just boots back into system however I can get into fastboot, any ideas?
I'm no expert but did this ans it worked:
1. In TWRP recovery (created nandroid and wiped cache)
2. Flashed full update zip from official download link, then TWRP, then wipe cache
3. Reboot system and let it settle
4. Reboot into TRWP and flashed Canary Channel zip file
5. Wipe cache
6. Reboot system
Hope this helps.

Try using the fastboot image (not the OTA the image one) from the essential site.
Download it, remove the "fastboot or something wipe userdata maybe?" line from the flashall.bat script (or from flashall.sh if you're on Mac/Linux)
Then run the flashall.bat or flashall.sh script (again .bat for Win, .sh for the rest)
Should get you working again, albeit without root & twrp

Bootloop after "Factory Reset" from TWRP

I tried to perform a factory reset from TWRP cause it wouldn't let me from Configuration>Reset and Restore (or something like that), and after a reboot system didn't launch, it said something about an encryption problem, so I decided to restore a system backup I did and now my phone is stuck in bootloop. Someone can point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

Yeah TWRP and Stock are at odds with each other.... You must fallow the guide to make TWRP and Stock compatible with each other when restoring.... alternatively you can try to flash one of the custom ROMs and see if it boots.

When you install a ROM made for the V40 if your on Slot A when you boot into TWRP then the ROM installs in Slot B and if on B the it installs into A. But gapps and other flashable zips install into the current booted slot.
So flashing steps would be
1. Boot TWRP
2. Check which slot your on in the reboot menu
3. Flash ROM
4. Flash the TWRP recovery IMG. To ram disk
5. Go to reboot menu and select opposite Slot
6. Select reboot recovery and swipe to reboot
7.flash anything else gapps etc.
8. Reboot into your new working ROM.
