Firmware issue? Maybe not? Join me in the discussion :) - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Let's start off with something simple.
I am experiencing touch screen issues whereby a portion of my screen is entirely dead.
This happens on any ROM (custom or OOS) that uses the Nougat firmware.
BUT this does not happen on ROM that uses Oreo firmware.
Let's say I am using an Oreo ROM that is still using Nougat firmware, my touchscreen still has its issues.
I have tried a full wipe -> did not work.
I have tried the unbrick tool -> touchscreen still gives me issues (aka did not work).
Anyone has any ideas?

Hi Bobbi,
Please tell us your device, the ROMs you've tested with and provide links to the firmware that you flashed for Nougat and Oreo.

I'm using a OP3T. I've tried 4.5.0 firmware for Omni & Vertex but I have issues with screen.

i have kind of the same issue.. if i flash any custom rom like aosp or lineage upper portion of my phones display starts flickering phone works fine on stock or stock based rom couldn't find any workaround. i haven't tested any oreo aosp rom though . i have a a3010

Updated Kali NetHunter Guide ?

hi so i bought OP3T to have nethunter on it. but now i am totally confused how to install nethunter on my device properly, there needs to be an updated guide about it that i couldn't find in xda forums.
first about my phone:
it's OP3T on nougat, OOS 4.1.7 . currently i'm using latest official LOS 14.1 rom.
with Encryption enabled, on LOS stock kernel.
What i tried is this thread,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/development/kernel-kali-nethunter-oneplus-3t-t3507816
and i downloaded
nethunter-generic-arm64-kalifs-full-rolling-3.20-20170903-2143.zip
kernel-nethunter-oneplus3T-cm-nougat-3.20-20170903-2143.zip
by following above guide i went into TWRP recovery i flashed kernel which also flashed supersu with it, and then flashed kali nethunter,
everything went perfect, no problems, but i can't use kali nethunter, its terminal does not open,
on above thread @uaiclout pointed to following thread to use that build,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/kernel-boeffla-kernel-linaro-uber-t3455888/
but when i went to that thread that is a kernel and not a rom, and not a nethunter build,
i don't understand what do i have to do to make NetHunter work properly? and there is no specific thread / guide on it. i don't wanna brick my phone so taking my steps carefully, as i am new in OP3T and coming from Samsung devices there are some new strange abbreviations being used in OP3T forums which i don't know what they mean.
like bootloader thing is not being mentioned in OP3T forums but firmwares (i am confused what they are?) and like kernels are using some strange terms,
so it will be very thankfull for someone who uses NetHunter on OP3T successfully to create a guide or atleast tell others how you made it work on nougat LOS or other non-stock based custom roms? and kernels + wifi devices to be detected on phone like TL-WN722N ?
thanks in advance.
Hello Mate,
Welcome to the OnePlus fam!
So as I've understood, your Kali Terminal is not working. I've had the exact issue, and I fixed it by reinstalling the Terminal apk ;(https://github.com/offensive-securi...thunter-installer/update/data/app/Term-nh.apk)
If you're getting a chroot error, uninstall the chroot, and re-download it from Chroot Manager.
To correct your misunderstandings, Firmware is the base software of the phone, which has Modem information, etc etc. Firmware is released by OnePlus, and it has minor changes and tweaks with every new version. Developers can choose any Firmware version to build their ROM over it. So if you're installing a new ROM, make sure to check the Firmware version. If your current firmware version is below the required version for the ROM, TWRP will give you a "Error=7" when flashing the ROM.
Kali Nethunter is a Kernel for OP3/3T, not a ROM. Make sure you've flashed the correct Zip file, as there are many versions, one for OOS stock, another for LOS, and so on and on.
Also for using Kali for Wi-Fi related purposes, I must warn you that it is not legal, but if you must, then there is a specific Wi-Fi adapter to be used with the 3/3T. I will update you on what the exact model is, and it is quite inexpensive on eBay.
I advise you to use Kali on OOS, rather than LOS, as it is more stable on OOS.
Cheers!

now i am on latest PA official rom, i'm gonna try again. i like non-stock based roms because they allow device encryption with root (which stock roms don't allow) and i always keep my device encrypted as a security and ethical hacking student . i try to secure my devices from every new hack i learn. but i heard when you install NetHunter on Android, its security is compromised already, anyways,
as i mentioned the zips i downloaded from NetHunter builds, do you see any wrong zip? i downloaded kernel for CM based roms and also generic NetHunter,
which exactly Rom+Kernel combinations you have if you are using NetHunter? my device was on OOS 4.1.7 before i installed LineageOS 14.1 official on it. so suggest me the better OOS? and i will have to download anyway coz i lost my original backup of stock OOS 4.1.7 .
about wifi devices, i have 3 devices.
1. TP-LINK TL-WN722N
2. ALFA AWUS036H
3. ALFA AWUS036NH
none of them was detected by NetHunter app info screen, i heard on kali nethunter thread that TP Link TL-WN722N works, but it was not detected. but i can buy new device if needed, thats not a big issue, though it would be better if i can make one of above device to work with it. and there is a discussion on it that i will check if my NetHunter works properly first.
about the firmwares, i still don't get it, correct me if i'm wrong,
let say my phone was on OOS 4.1.7 when i bought it, then i rooted and installed TWRP on it, then i installed LineageOS 14.1 on it. so technically i am still on firmware 4.1.7 ? is that what you mean?
so if i want to install CM 13 on my device i will have to check what firmware is CM 13 build upon and flash that firmware before i flash CM 13 ? is that right?
so there is no trouble of bootloaders in OP3T as it was in samsung ? like in note 5 i upgraded to nougat and then i wanted to go back to lollypop but i couldn't because newer bootloader didn't allow me to go back, and i had to do some exercise to downgrade bootloader to lollypop before i could install any lollypop rom. so in OP3T firmware is to be flashed before installing certain roms is same like bootloaders was in samsung?
is it safe always to go back and forth in firmware flashings? if i wanna install lollypop rom i just flash that firmware which that rom is built upon and i am good to go? and then if i want to come back to nougat rom i just flash specific firmware and i'm good to go? (i know i am totally confused in this system, but i think i got it right now?). please confirm if all i said about firmwares is right or wrong so i can understand :fingers-crossed:
thanks
It sounds like the issue is that you are using PA. Their source is usually not CM/LOS based. I don't know about the newest versions though or if NetHunter has a PA compatible version.

about the Android 9.0 based roms Gzosp, lineage and liquidremix

i was browsing through XDA and discovered we got Pie Builds!! after looking into the threads for the 3 roms as of 10/2/18, i read about a lot of people having a multitude of problems with them, from them not booting to fingerprint and encryption problems.
so, are these builds really buggy? should i stick with my oreo rom? whats up with these pie roms?
--edit--
also, for liquidremix, would i install the oreo or the nougat FW base?? whats the difference and does it really matter which version i do?
you just wait until all the bugs are fixed. or you can install it and support the developer by reporting the bugs you face.
everything works fine here, you have to see the version of your bootloader version c2.12 works everything standard, otherwise upgrade your stock rom to the latest oreo to update your bootloader or you can only install rom based on nougat
I'm not on a stock rom, I actually use havocOS I haven't used stock for a while now.. but when it was stock it was 7.1 nougat not Oreo, did Sanders xt1806 finally get the Oreo update?

What is the best stable and working rom atm

Hi guys. I'm looking for refreshment to my g5s plus. Since I bought it I'm very satisfied with this device. I'm using old ground zero VALIDUS oreo 8.1 rom (version 1.5) and i was totally satisfied with its features. Like every Android, after 6months+ it started lagging sometimes. I've got no time to try every rom.
Can u share your opinion if u tried multiple roms?
From what I've read pie builds are not working perfectly yet,right? Are they any better from 8.1 though? Should I try any?
My main requirement is substratum to be working on the rom.
I'm considering picking latest build of oreo validus if Noone suggest anything.
Btw. My Google maps lost function to show the direction I'm facing(this triangle thing) . Any ideas? Tried basic solutions like reinstalling another versions. Can it be caused by rom itself? (unfortunately I don't remember when I lost that function).
I'm using a unofficial LineageOS ROM (Android Pie) Here's the link if you want to test it out, but yeah there's also This ROM, I tested Oreo, but not Pie

Pixel experience can't detect fingerprint sensor

Hi everyone,I've recently switched to pixel experience ROM for Moto g5 plus (Android 9).
After the first setup the ROM can't detect the fingerprint sensor and in the security settings it is not showing the option of "fingerprint security".I'm not having that log file so I can't share it here..Pls help me. @nickvanBokhorst(GtrCraft) help me...
Hello ! Are you coming from a Nougat ROM or from an Oreo ROM? When you go from android 7 to 9 you need to have your phone in Oreo base, so if you haven't flashed that zip that's probably it, you are still in Nougat base. The file is supposed to be flashed after flashing the ROM before the first boot, so try dirty flashing the ROM over you current build and before booting flash the file I'm attaching here !
Thanks. Worked like a charm!

LineageOS for the SM-J530F ( J5Y17LTE )

Hello everybody,
i am looking for a working LineageOS rom for my Samsung Galaxy SM-J530F.
The only version that works for me is lineage-15.1-20180510-UNOFFICIAL-j5y17lte.
( The SIM is recognized and rooting is also very easy. However, the rom sometimes hangs up and I often had the problem that the mobile phone hangs up and all files are deleted after a normal restart ( no factory reset ).
Maybe there is someone here who can recommend a Lineage or AOSP rom, which works for the most part. I have already spied on several LineageOS versions but unfortunately the SIM is not recognized in all of them.
I thank you all and wish you a nice weekend! nice greetings from Germany.

Nip over to the j7xx pages, they are far better updated and most of the roms work fine on my j53fm 10 Q for J5 J7… | Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017)
I am currently running android 11 on my j5 with no major issues.
This thread shows LineageOS 20.x support for many J5. Unfortunately, j5y17lte is not supported.
Can anyone explain what are the differences between say j5ylte and j5y17lte, and how difficult it is to edit the sources in order to support them?
I'm a developer but not a mobile devices one so I'm wondering how much work is in there and how to get started specifically for porting j5y17lte.
Supported phones by the thread linked above:
j53g
j53gxx
j5lte
j5ltechn
j5ltedo
j5ltedx
j5ltekx
