homebutton / fingerprint sensor no function - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

dear community,
after the flash of lineage (lineage-14.1-20170727-nightly-oneplus3-signed) and the install of gapps (open_gapps-arm64-7.1-stock-20170801) my home-button / fingerprint sensor have no more function.
before the flash the button works fine. anyone an idea? thanks for help!

Try a clean flash.

clean flash via recovery mode?
i deleted - via twrp - date, cache and dalvik. nothing ...

Do you have a OnePlus 3 or 3T? Because you mention flashing a OP3 rom and you posted in a 3T forum.

Flash stock 4.16, this fixed this same issue for me

Does the problem stay in 170802? And did you flash the necessary firmware update first (you should have since the zip won't install without it unless you override it).

OP3T Stuck in TWRP after flashing LineageOS

Hello out there,
my problem is a bit annoying. Everything is fine if I use my OP3T with Oxygen (4.0.3) and TWRP (3.0.3-1). But I want to use LineageOS with TWRP and cant, because my TWRP isnt working after flashing lineage.
"Normal"-Setup:
- TWRP 3.0.3-1
- Oxygen 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 (doesn't matter)
- supersu 2.79
- Encrypted Device
"Lineage"-Setup:
- TWRP 3.0.3-1
- lineageOS (lineage-14.1-20170214-nightly-oneplus3-signed.zip OR lineage-14.1-20170208-nightly-oneplus3-signed.zip - tried both, doesnt matter)
- supersu 2.79
- openGApps for 7.1 nano
- Encrypted Device
My Problem is, that I can boot up lineage and use it, but if I reboot into my TWRP to flash something or make some Backups, it asks for my encryption-passphrase, it says it is okay and boots into the twrp main-windows. After that I can't touch anything (stuck in mainmenu) and after a few seconds it results into a black screen (plus white LED) and I am forced to reboot the device. After that reboot I have to reconfigure lineage (seems to loose data).
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this annoying "bug"?
Thank you very much!
Atomique
EDIT: I found that Thread after searching for a issue like that in the lineageOS official Thread - I will try this and report! - Thank you! https://forum.xda-developers.com/on.../recovery-official-twrp-oneplus-3-3t-t3543391
I had the exact same problem when I hab LineageOS installed! It would always lose all its data. After flashing and reflashing a hundred times, I ended up reverting my OP3T back to stock using a OnePlus forum guide (I'm a new user, so I can't post the link). I am now back to OOS 4.0.3 but can't even get SuperSU to work. Whenever I flash it (with or without the dm-verity fix) the phone is stuck booting forever.
I found the post you linked to aswell but haven't tried flashing LineageOS using the new TWRP. But I can tell that the new version doesn't help rooting OOS...
Did you have any luck flashing LineageOS by now?
Edit: With the newest Lineage Version I always get an error when trying to flash it. Do you have the same problem? The nightly from two weeks ago seems to work better.
Use latest TWRP 3.0.4.1

That's what I'm doing... Could the dm-verity be a problem? There are two versions, one with opt and one with force in the name.
Thank you for your replies! The link (TWRP 3.0.4-1) worked like a charme!
@Tafelbomber: I would recommend you to start from scratch. But please be warned: you will loose your data! Make a backup first!
1. Delete everything with fastboot -w
2. Flash the recovery noted in my first post with fastboot flash recovery <twrp-filename.img>
3. Optional: Restart into the TWRP and flash the OOS 4.0.3 to make sure that you have a clean OS installed befor flashing lineage
4. Flash lineage OS + additional ZIPs (like supersu, betterbatterystats, Gapps etc)
5. Clean Dalvik and Cache!
6. Reboot and have fun. --> Sometimes you get problems with the encryption chain (Red Error --> in my case the fastboot -w did it for me)
Good luck - I will close this thread - thanks again for your help!

That twrp is tbh complete garbage. But still, thank you for the recovery!
I'm sorry but I'm not quite understanding the last part of the post, the whole "disable forced encryption" part.
I have the 'Y' model of J5 Pro and just want root. I tried the first few links in google without success and ended up having to reflash the factory rom.
From my understanding, I just need to flash this with odin in download mode, then flash supersu(or whatever root) then it should work, correct? Thats usually been the simple solution for my previous phones so I'm confused to the last paragraph.
Thanks
Edit: So I've successfully installed the recovery, how do I got about flashing the J530Y model now? Is there a universal root to flash? Thanks.
Having issues with this now. Done a full reinstall of my original carriers firmware. That runs sweet. If I try install TWRP, TWRP works fine but system is having errors. After installing TWRP if I boot straight to system I can use that no issues. As soon as I go to TWRP and then restart to system, bootloop. I want to install TWRP to install custom rom, anyone have any suggestions?

I'll have to try this. For some reason, after reinstalling my OS then installing CF-Auto-Root for my model, suddenly there is no sound at all from the main speaker. The call speaker is working fine, but no sound for notifications, videos etc.
Anyone have any idea about the above issue? Thanks

I've managed to figure it all out finally. Here is the process I used to get everything I need working correctly.
1. Installed stock Samsung Rom downloaded from Sammobile.com
2. Extracted Boot.img from my carriers firmware
3. Patch Boot.img with Magisk Managed on my mobile
4. Transfer over to PC and flashed it with Odin
5. Install Rashr on my phone and flash TWRP with Rashr(Flashing with Odin would cause me bootloop regardless of Auto-Reset; Tried wiping data, factory reset etc but I would get mount errors)
6. Install Xposed and init.d with TWRP.
7. Winning??
For people that are wondering why I went through this process vs using CF-Auto-Root; I have failed to find an easy way to get apps that detect root to work correctly. I.e. Snapchat, paywave with my banking app. Magisk was my only option but the only roms currently available for the J5 Pro that have Magisk preinstalled all have J530F kernel included and I didn't want to risk bricking my device.
Please fix red log. Its so full in screen
Also I have the no sound from speaker (headphones work) issue after rooting my phone (J530F DS 2017). I installed TWRP and SuperSu which work fine, but without the speaker it's quite useless. Unless one wants to use only bluetooth ...
With the most recent Magisk version and the J530FXXU2ARB3 firmware the steps 1-4 work fine but after booting the phone enforces a restore. As downgrading the FW does not work I may need to wait for a fix.
Hopefully someone finds out how to re-enable the main speaker, otherwise I'll have to flash the stock ROM once again to re-enable the speaker.
Update:
Finally got it working. TWRP (3.2.1-0) was installed 1st, then SuperSU (with no-audio). Starting from here:
Open Settings, About Phone, (Looking for something else?) RESET, Factory data reset, Reset, DELETE ALL
Reboot into recovery, a cleanup script will run and reboot after a few seconds.
Reboot into recovery again, install SuperSu and reboot (wipe nothing).
Starting takes a little time, after running the initial setup SuperSU is installed and the speaker works.
Power+VolumeUp+VolumeDown = Force Reboot
Power+Home+VolumeUp = Recovery
Power+Home+VolumeDown = Download Mode
Asking
Halo there.
I want root for J530Y and install exposed. Could u help me where i can find the Root&Exposed file for that type?
Thanks
IT STUCK!
Gan ini kok stuck di download mode ya? downloadingnya ga selesai selesai mohon pencerahannya
hi guys so ive been messing around trying to get root to work for ages on j530y, finally got working using superSU but sound and flashlight and bluelight filter no longer worked.
so heres the solution that worked for me
1. flash stock rom
2. wipe data, cache and dalvik with STOCK RECOVERY
3. flash TWRP
4. flash magisk and no-verity-opt-encrypt
5. OPTIONAL restore backup of old data partition
6. reboot and you should have root access with working sound, flashlight and bluelight filter
hope this is helpful
Not build again for latest twrp gan?

Mic not working during calls - Mi 9

Hey everyone - long time lurker/researcher, but generally good at searching for answers without bugging anyone. This one has me stumped.
I have a Mi 9 CN model (6/128) that has been unable to make phone calls with the main mic without having to toggle Speakerphone on/off
I've tried 3 different custom roms (Xiaomi.eu, Pixel Experience, Evolution), and the Global MIUI 11 rom, but nothing seems to help fix it.
I have the newest version of TWRP installed right now (3.3.1-46), I have tried with and without Magisk installed....right now I don't even have TWRP installed at all on the Global rom.
Same happens for my SO's Mi 9 too as well.
Is there something I'm missing? I've tried turning off WiFi Calling/OK Google detection/VoLTE, rebooted, cleared cache/ cleared data inbetween new ROM installs....
Hardware test shows Main and Top as PASS.
Any tips would be appreciated! I feel like I've tried everything possible.
Thanks in advance~

Your TWRP is right.
Try to flash syberia with recommended vendor exactly step by step and of course really clean install with formatted data yes.
If this isn't working I'll think you've got to flash via pc the stock and then again a custom ROM.

I'm actually going to follow the Evolution instructions (just missed the part about flashing EEA)
So i'm using MiFlash with the MIUI11 EEA boot rom file, then I'll do the normal TWRP -> format data -> install Evolution ROM and test.
Thanks!
So it seems like I'm completely out of luck at this point - I've tried basically everything I can think of, and I think something big must be wrong with the phone's file system.
I've followed Evolution's steps to a T (minus MiFlash having an error at the end of the EEA flashing, but the firmware seeming to load fine) and still run into the no Mic issue.
"Flash MIUI11 eea with miflash
Flash vbmeta.img with "fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img --disable-verity --disable-verification" (Download here)
Flash TWRP
Wipe (dont wipe system/vendor)
Format data
Reboot recovery
Flash rom
Reboot system"
Wipe (don't wipe system/vendor) I assume means just a normal factory reset wipe via TWRP, which I've tried.
I've tried both fw+vendor files (the newest for Android 10 and newest from Xiaomi.eu)
Any other last suggestions before I assumed the phone is broken?
Try to flash xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9_9.11.7_v11-10.zip
With miflash and after factory reset.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...iaomi.eu_multi_MI9_9.11.7_v11-10.zip/download
SO! Update here
I was able to use Evolution X's Android 9 instructions to get everything working fine....but everytime I try to duplicate that for MIUI 11 it does not work.
Reboot to recovery
- Flash the latest 9.8.1 vendor image or full stock ROM.
- Reboot to twrp and format data
- Wipe cache/dalvik
- Reboot back to recovery and flash
I tested using the newest Xiaomi.EU Vendor for Android 10 and the stock one with no luck....more thoughts?
Did you try turning off the VoLTE?

Custom Rom flashing problem.

Okay. Am currently on MIUI 11.0.3 (the latest one available for RaphaelIN)
So, the problem am facing is that, when i flash a custom rom, my phone gets rebooted to recovery and sometimes to fastboot(this happens occasionally) and i just simply cant get the rom to load.
Sometimes my phone gets into a state which resembles hardbrick (none of the buttons work, even holding the power button for 10secs doesn't) and after sometimes, usually 15 to 20 mins it restarts itself. This has happened thrice till date and all while booting to system.
The Roms i have tried-
-Pixel experience (unofficial) (android Q)
- Lineage OS 17 (unofficial)
- Havoc OS (both official and unofficial) (both pie and Q versions)
-MIUI (European rom)
I have also tried flashing the chinese, indian and global vendor (all done separately) thinking it was a vendor issue, but it also doesn't work.
Recovery is TWRP latest version, have also used orange fox recovery
Bootloader unlocking was done through the official method and the official app.
Any solutions for this problem and has anyone faced these problems or is it only me?

Consider this an overkill solution that always works for me if I run into issues with other methods. It will wipe everything so backup your data and apps.
Download the latest fastboot Indian MIUI ROM (for anyone else reading this download the ROM that is the same region as your phone)
Fully extract the ROM and flash it - make sure, if you use the Mi Flash Tool, that you change the flash option to 'clean all'
Boot into MIUI once, you don't need to actually go through the set-up, just let it fully load.
Boot the phone into fastboot and install TWRP - I recommend the latest mauronofrio TWRP.
After installing TWRP boot immediately into TWRP.
Format the data partition - don't skip this step.
Wipe cache and dakvik - don't wipe anything else.
In TWRP goto the mount menu and unmount the data partition then mount it again - others would suggested rebooting back into TWRP, either way works, you just need to make sure the data partition is properly mounted after formatting it.
Install the ROM of your choice - either have the ROM on a USB OTG stick, or copy it onto the phone from a PC whilst still in TWRP.
If your ROM doesn't include Google apps and services and you want Google, then install GApps - at the time of writing this Android 10 GApps is still in beta and packages bigger than nano may cause issues, so stick with pico or nano, assuming your installing an Android 10 ROM.
Boot into the ROM.
If you want Magisk, once the ROM has loaded, boot back into TWRP and flash the latest Magisk installer - it is possible to flash Magisk without booting into the ROM first and you'll probably be OK, but occasionally it can cause problems, I can't remember the details, but for the sake of 30 seconds I now boot into the ROM before flashing, just to be on the safe side.
At the time of writing this people have recently reported issues flashing GApps immediately after flashing Havoc 3.0 and recommend booting Havoc before flashing GApps. Although others say they've not had any problems. So if you choose to install Havoc you 'might' have problems if you install GApps without booting into Havoc at least once first.
I've never had problems when following this method.
You didn't format data that's why your rom doesn't boot. Follow Robbos nice guide and you are good to go.:good:

I did format the data partition coz that's one thing I and my friends always do when flashing new rom. I don't exactly remember but i think, the pseudo hardbrick thingy started after i formatted the system, data, cache & internal storage.
I will follow Robbos guide adn keep you guys updated on what happened.

Bugs:
?
Notes:
If you are not on Q BL it will not boot.
I would suggest 3.2.3 TWRP or the included lineage recovery
For encryption to work make sure you are on 3.2.3 twrp and haven't formatted /data with any newer versions, issue described here.
Use a stock unmodified vendor and update whenever available, we are using our own fstab now for optional encryption and adoptable storage support so we don't need to touch the vendor.
If you go back to an official build after this with stock vendor, you will be force encrypted on first boot.
These builds are based on the official lineage device trees and kernel, but with more flexibility and my preferred configuration.
Lineage Recovery will be uploaded with each build and if you will only be running this rom i suggest to switch to it.
Instructions:
Make sure TWRP has been installed and is functional
Download the latest build and latest stock vendor.img that is available (optionally gapps and magisk if needed)
Reboot to recovery
Wipe data and cache (required if you switch from other ROMs)
Flash the vendor image
Flash the latest build (then gapps and magisk if needed)
Reboot
How to update builds?
OTA or manually like below
Do not wipe anything unless stated in the changelog
Flash only the rom.zip and it will automatically reinstall your gapps, magisk etc
use /system/addon.d if you would like to keep system mods after an update

Great ROM really smooth but only one issue i have is when i try to record the screen with internal sound (gaming) it will mute the sound from the speaker and it's working fine Evox (sorry for my bad English
Hello everyone! Not sure how many people here already been trying this ROM from the Telegram group, but was wondering if anyone has the following issue. Google Chrome seems to become really laggy in the evening hours on my phone, but is fine during the day. Basically scrolling and animations within Chrome are really slow causing bad performance. Wanted to confirm if it's just me as Rob said the issue doesn't seem to happen with the Note 9 and see if anyone here has any suggestions? I am running DTB4 BL and vendor with TWRP 3.2.3.0.
so everything good other than Android Auto? Well done!
Great news! Thanks a lot for keeping our device alive and updated!
Can't wait to try this one out. I assume it's working fine as a daily driver?

Yup, been using it for several weeks. No odd reboots and stuff, just very stable.
How can I check for the right BL?
What does it mean "Q BL"?
Thanks
EDIT:
Never mind, I found it! :good:
..ok, stupid question, but where can I get q bl?
Do I need to use odin to flash just bl from one of q roms or is there just q bl to download somewhere?
Great rom, thanks for this, I came from the LOS 16 and LOS 17.1 of the 09/01 and all good until now
Here is a link for download q bootloader

vendor images and bootloader zip are taken from devbase rom by alexndr so big thank for his work
current vendor version
S9/S9+ : DTB5
N9 : DTB6
Hoooly ****, I tried to make dirty flash from LOS 16(with replacing bl and vendor, of course), with just cache and dalvik cache wipe, and everything just WORKS fine.
This is AMAZING!
So:
1. twrp - wipe dalvik and cache,
2. twrp - flash bl,
3. twrp - flash vendor, but vendor from OP(!),
4. twrp - flash ROM,
5. twrp - flash opengapps.
Damn, it saved me reinstalling 132 apps, and setting all accounts all over.
What's great - all settings are kept from previous OS.
Of course, I lost viperfx and all magisk-related plugs(list of plugins is still there, so all I needed to do was reinstalling plugins ), but, still, this is great.
Great, glad all went good for you
Thanks for working instructions and links!
Thanks a lot! :victory:
I guess it's to much to ask for those information from a developer...
Side note: there is a boot loader for DTB5 only, but the modified vendor for LOS is DTB4. It works, though.
I did update from the 09/01/2020, so far found two issues:
1. After installing White Wolfs Kernel, UI seems to crash after unlocking via pattern, returning me back to unlock pattern. Had to wipe and re-install (dirty install of LOS didn't solve the issue ).
2. AFWall doesn't work. Applying rules fails leaving the system without internet access.
First one is not that important, but I'd like a firewall on my device...
Anyway: Thanks for the work on the LOS.

Great work! ROM works great, even Google pay is working good!
I just installed your ROM. It is very nice that the keyboard is now bigger then the one of theolder version and my new bluetooth headset is finally working.
Unfortunately, I cannot get ctsProfile to pass.
Does anyone have ctsProfile passing?
Edit: nevermind, should have read the docs of MagiskHide Props, the last module did the config automatically...
All the best,
Daniel

Same here, can’t unlock after installing White Wolf kernel. Furthermore, the phone is in Emergency calls only mode, as if there is no SIM card.
How to “undo” or otherwise solve this?

I have the same problem. I'm still on LOS 16 as a daily driver because of this (and because of its awesome battery live). I will keep testing though...
Also my thanks for the great work on LOS!

I had the problem that the first boot after upgrade went without problems (or PIN prompt in my case) but after that, when entering the correct PIN, the screen got black and then locked again. If I entered the wrong PIN, the phone told me so.
My solution was to use TWRP to rename the file /data/system/locksettings.db to locksettings.db.bak and then reboot. By renaming the file, the screen lock was removed and I could reenable it in the settings.
Good luck,
Daniel

I didn't have the problem with the old 09/01/2020 version, so you ca try it, or wait for the fix

Weirdly enough, my system doesn't have this file. BUT, another try of White Wolfs kernel just worked. It seems this is an obsolete file, that some times is left behind confused and causes problems in the kernel.

It was too late for me to remove that file, because I had encrypted /data, was no longer able to access it from within LOS, and I don’t know if TWRP can decrypt /data. If it happens to you, I would suggest to seize the opportunity while LOS still unlocks on the first boot to delete that locksettings file. In any case, having a backup is a must, because I am not sure this will actually work.
