If you unlocked the boot loader, rooted and have TWRP custom recovery, you just need to :
1. Download rom and gapps to your phone. Links should be found in the OP of the ROM's thread. If you wish Google to restore your apps be sure you have selected the backup-auto restore in settings.
2. Do unencryption now if you wish.
3. Boot into TWRP recovery and wipe a couple times.
4. From TWRP, install the rom and gapps.
5. Reboot system, sign into your Google account and let it download and restore your apps.
6. Reboot system once more & you should be gtg.

So i dont need to wipe? or flash a bootloader and radio since im coming from 5.0.1? you know like vanillapop 5.1 requires you to flash bootloader and radio if coming from 5.0.X?

Should be in the Chroma OP or close thereby as to whether you need the boot loader.
I would think for sure a wipe or two. Boot loader, maybe. Radio, at your discretion.

I checked. Instructions and prerequisites are in the OP of the Chroma thread.

I also updated my Nexus 6 with 5.0.1, unlock and root, to 5.1 without losing data. I just had to re-root it afterwards.
I used Wugfresh Nexus root toolkit.
In short I used "Flash stock + unroot", in which I selected "Enable no-wipe" and "force-flash".
After this I rerooted the device from within NRT.
Worked like a charm!

Oooook... I'm confused too. I'm on dirty unicorns 5.0.2.. I want to upgrade to 5.1... Some instructions say to flash the unencrypted kernel and I also have looked into the boot img and baseband thread.. But when would I need to do all of this? I need someone willing to explain it like I'm five how and when to update the baseband, etc.. I already backed up my internal storage so I'm ready to do whatever I have to to flash Chroma or any other non stock 5.1 ROM.

Well can you be my guinea pig and flash chroma without doing everything else? worst thing that could happen is it not boot into the rom and wrong radio will just make your phone not pickking up signel intil you flashed radio. but chroma dont say anything about flashing bootloader so i dont think its needed.
BTW ims still on rooted stock 5.0.1.

Bump!

Post UBL question

Finally I unlocked bootloader and put my first UBL rom, but I've "lost" recoveries (I had twrp/philz/touch).
The question is: should I flash a kernel with recoveries (which is best/working for ResurrectionRemix?) or there is an adb installer for recoveries as the one for LBL?
Sorry for the over-asked question, but I don't want soft brick my first and working ubl :cyclops:
*edit*
The rom itself, only has the CM recovery, but I'm not very sure I can apply the rom update or take a nandroid backup with that.

Flash this via Cyanogen Recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-twrp-f2fs-support-xperia-sp-huashan-t3150230
This will grant you persisting TWRP recovery without needing to flash any other custom kernel. And it works even on a custom kernel too, don't worry
Apply ROM update is possible if the zip is signed and recognised by the CM recovery.. But nandroid backup? Impossible

Probably, but in the "old" LBL version of the rom, with selinux permissive the wifi worked (it seems to give wrong addresses in dhcp/dns area).
There was a .zip fix also, but I think is no good for the new version xD
I'll investigate further
Tunnelling with psiphon (vpn/socks client) works.
*edit*
Almost solved. Probably some quirks in my network pc settings. Solved via WPS router/android mode. All works,yay =D

I tried Helium Kernel but it stucks at unpacking (I only have TWRP recovery), does William Kernel works on CM Resurrection Remix 5.5.9?

[Guide] How to Flash Encrypted ROMs on a Decrypted Device (Without Losing Data)

Most custom ROMs for the OnePlus 5 are now supporting encrypted devices only. However, some users choose to keep their device in a decrypted state for MultiROM support and for other reasons. If you follow the steps below, you can flash any encrypted ROM on your decrypted device (without losing data) and your device will remain decrypted! I found this information in one of the many threads I've read (I don't remember which one) and thought I'd post it here to help others and for easy reference. Enjoy!
Follow These Steps:
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Wipe caches, data, and system partitions
3. Flash encrypted ROM
4. Flash GApps
5. Flash Magisk
6. Flash no-verity-op5.zip (not created by me)
7. Reboot
8. Enjoy!
If you closely follow the instructions above, you can enjoy any ROM on your decrypted OnePlus 5 and have the best of both worlds! :highfive:
Note 1: If device gets stuck at OnePlus boot animation after following all of the steps above, hold the power button for 10 seconds to turn off device. Power the device back on and it will boot successfully into the ROM.
Note 2: Some ROMs are not compatible with MultiROM without the inclusion of additional commits by ROM developer.

After wipes, its Flash ROM.. Flash optional Kernel.. Flash Gapps.. Flash No-verity.. Flash optional root (magisk or SuperSU).. Flash optional Viper4Arise?

Is this confirmed working? Has anyone actually tried the process and confirmed that any data on the phone's internal storage is there?

Tested it yesterday with aosip and all data are on internal storage. Flashed validus today without no-verity-op5.zip and it worked too. Didn't lose data on internal storage...

I've found that flashing SuperSU (instead of Magisk) on encrypted ROMs often ends in a bootloop on my decrypted device. Flashing Magisk seems to be a requirement.

Not working for me. Tried with AICP release from 9/11. Wiped caches, system, data. Flashed rom. flashed gapps (tried stock/full/micro). Flashed magisk (also tried without). -> Bootloop
//edit
sorry i think i misunderstood the post. i thought i can flash decrypted roms on encrypted device xD is that possible too?

No, I believe your device must be decrypted to flash decrypted ROMs.

Thanks for this! Do you know who we should thank for the zip? If there's an original thread for it?

You are very welcome! Unfortunately, I do not know who originally created the verity zip. It has been passed around on XDA by many people.

The original zip was modified for making FBE optional by @snowwolf725. Click here to visit his original thread.

I have a quick question. I just unlocked the Bootloader on my Plus 5 and installed TWRP 3.1.1-1 and Magisk 14.0 on it. The firmware is 4.5.0 as I didn't let it update at all and did all this to the device upon first bootup. I did not decrypt.
I've tried installing latest RR release (final for N cheeseburger) and the install stops with errors. I tried a different rom in the same Android version (7.1.2) and get same results. MD5 checks out on both downloads.
Do I have to flash the latest OnePlus 5 update (full OTA 4.5.10) before flashing a 7.1.2 rom? And should I decrypt my device for easier flashing?
If no one answers, I completely understand and will search some more but this seems to be a cloudy subject that gets many different answers and I thought I would post it here. Thank you all in advance.

Yes.. U need to flash the latest firmware and then flash roms.. There's a thread for firmware.. Flash the whole zip would again give you stock recovery and you have to re do the fastboot stuff so makes no sense..

In addition to what is stated here, if you flash Magisk immediately after flashing the full firmware zip (no rebooting between steps), TWRP won't get replaced with the stock recovery. This is a great time saver!

Darn, well thanks for the reply

I just wanted to thank you for this thread. All of the information you provided helped me immensely. I was struggling with this device and flashing roms at first but one I unencrypted it, with your guide, everything worked great. I was going to leave it encrypted for easier flashing since most all the roms for this device are encrypted only. But I was having more issues than ever. And many, of the posts in here have also answered quite a few questions I had. This should be a pinned tread.
Anyways thank you again. Your thread is a must read for anyone with an Opo5.

Does anyone have a CWM recovery.img file?

Hi all
I've accidentally put on a TWRP recovery onto my Z3C, the OS is not right for it (something about TWRP needs a compatible OS) and now I'm in a 3 second boot loop. I can however get into fastboot.
Does anyone have a recovery image file for CWM so I can put that back on so my device will boot again?
I can't find one on the internet for neither love nor money.

Not sure if I was expecting too much (I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing) but I thought my old OS might boot. Alas, it does not. In fact, now the OS does not boot at all and the only thing that shows any sign of life is fastboot.

I'm sorry, I'm not good at English (google translate). You have the bootloader unlocked? If Yes then you can flash the kernel. What is the current firmware installed? Another important condition, the phone must be charged 50% or more, to avoid even more problems.

Project Treble? Working?

Hello everyone,
is it possible to Flash a treble Rom with unlocked Bootloader?
Do i need twrp also?
If it is possible i will try to install all Apps from the global rom to the treble Rom.

I think yes, but I'm not sure

Was wondering the same thing, does anyone know if the red magic 3 is A only or an A/B device. I'm pretty sure it's A only, but I couldn't find any documentation online.

Its A only i think.

Hum... So Project Treble should work ?
That is interesting !
If I could install Resurrection Remix to this device and provided everything works it would become really almost perfect.
If anyone wants to try... If not I'll do it myself when I have time (in 2 or 3 days)...
Regards.

If the device has treble support, meaning a vendor partition it should work no problem, a/b partitioning is really not required for treble.

I tested treble using fastboot, since twrp had some issues, but it resulted in a bootloop and a corrupted recovery partition. I managed to fix it by following: https://forum.xda-developers.com/red-magic-3/help/stuck-fastboot-mode-t3937527/page9
Twrp gave me a mounting error for
/system_root, which is fixable by setting system to be read-only and then rebooting the recovery and re enableing read/write. Have not had the time to test using twrp and treble yet.
*I posted earlier in the day but managed to fix all the issues I had, so this a better summary :silly:

Word of advice. Do not attempt to flash anything on this cell. You will regret it. I tried to flash TWRP over 6 weeks ago an it's been dead ever since. Even a cellphone repair center guy could not repair it.
You need to leave good enough alone.
People all around the world have been stuck in permanent recovery screens or fastboot screens like me.
It really is a very good cell the way it is ?

I have. 7 weeks an counting an no working cell yet. I bought an Mi9 an no issues with it. Easy to reinstall firmware. The red magic 3 is the most difficult to repair cell I have ever encountered. I wish they had something like miflashpro for it

Treble is working from chinese ROM with twrp make sure image is A/B because this device is A/B
