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!

Moto g xt1072 and stock recovery

Hi all,
I recently recieved an ota notice to upgrade to software version 22.46.12
Im currently on 22.41.24.thea_retgball.en.GB.retgb
Build no. LXB22.99-24
Does anyone have a stock recovery for this build ? Any thea stock recovery i flash goes onto the phone ok but fails to install the update, if I try to enter recovery I get the android on its back and no command.
I can flash the thea version of twrp back and it works fine.
Am i missing something obvious ? Does the boot loader have to be relocked or are the stock recoveries specific to each build ?
Any help or ideas greatly appreciated.
Regards, Samyipya

According to this post from July, the OTAs may check for changes on /system, so even if you have stock recovery installation will fail.

Ok thanks for that, it did try and flash the recovery but quit about a third of the way through.
Anyway rather than flash the factory image im now running the AOSP 5.1.1 rom available in the development section.
Runs really well and no bloat.
Regards, Sam

This should be the same stock you had -> http://www.filefactory.com/file/3cv..._LXB22.99-24_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
And there is an updated version too -> http://www.filefactory.com/file/42o...B22.99-24.12_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
Take 10 to 20 minutes to update and restore your twrp backup, i had great improvements whit the latest modem.

XT1072, Motorola Moto G 4G (2015)
I'm looking for a stock recovery for 22.41.24.thea_reteu.reteuall.en.EU.reteu

Can't find it anywhere and hoping someone here may help.

Full TWRP backup le s3 x522

Hey guys, I was playing around with the leeco s3 and I think I over flashed something or other. It's not exactly working right. Can someone please upload a complete btwrp backup of their le s3 x522 on 18s, 19s or 20s?
Thanks in advance!

I think you need to start reading some threads around here, once you have installed the TWRP for the S3, you cannot get OTA to work again and their are other numerous issues too, as of yet nobody can fully restore back to stock. So start reading.
Also a few people here do have flashable firmware that might help but it will never be a full stock recovery unless something is fixed.

Thanks, Ive seen this post as well, it is 19s but is the boot partition (i think) and data partition, no recovery or system partition.
I was curious if anyone had a complete backup of working system, recovery, boot, data partitions for restoring?
Also I get this odd error 7 when trying to restore it, anyone know what is going on?

the post i sent you too, and the twrp back up in there at step 6 is all you need to restore your system to 19s..
it will not give you an error, but make sure you are using the chinese twrp
the error is what you are getting trying to flash the OTA thru twrp...dont worry about it as the OTA's will not install

Official twrp work too... Just ota fuxed

i would suggest, going back to twrp, and erase data, then restore again and see what happens

Good news guys! I was able to get the official le s3 from leeco directly!! I will upload it soon, it is 5.8.020s.

Hey, do you know where I could find the Chinese TWRP that allows me to flash the original stock EUI rom? I flashed LineageOS but the camera is not perfect, so I wish to go back to EUI but I cannot figure out how to install it without seeing errors such as "this package is for "le_s2_na" devices. Your device is a "s2"." Could you point me in the right direction? Maybe a download link for the Chinese TWRP that people claim works? Thanks!

You need to unzip the firmware file, remove top 2 lines from META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script and zip it again, it will remove the platform check. However device still does not boot, I tried to install both 20S and 21S multiple times. My guess is we need the original recovery partition image for X522 and I could not find it anywhere.

I resolved it. Took 2 days and dozens of flashes. As far as I can tell the key was to wipe everything - system, cache, data, internal storage, then reboot into bootloader again and into Chinese TWRP.
So the process would be:
1. power off the phone. Hold VolumeDown button and power on. It loads into bootloader.
2. fastboot oem unlock-go
3. fastboot boot twrp.img.
4. In TWRP wipe EVERYTHING
5. In TWRP reboot -> bootloader.
6. repeat 2-3.
7. On PC: adb push S2_X522-NA-OP-IFXNAOP5802102141S-5.8.021S.zip /sdcard
8. In TWRP click right button on the bottom and select English. Click "Do not allow modifications." Install the zip file you just uploaded.
9. Reboot.

Hmm I might try that later, but what would I do if I get the classical error ("this package is for "le_s2_na" devices")? Will that error not show up if I follow your method?

[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?

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.

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.

Can't get into Bootloader

The phone originially had v405ua11d firmware. I tried "adb reboot bootloader" but it just rebooted. I tried entering the bootloader using the volume down + plugging in, still just booted into android. I used LGUP to flash v405ua20a and its still doing the same. Every guide for unlocking the bootloader involves entering the bootloader as one of the first steps. I don't understand how everyone's doing this. Any help will be appreciated.

There's no way to unlock the bootloader on our own yet unless you own a european EBW model. Unlocking bootloader option right now is to do it remotely. You'll need to pay for the service though. If you need / want to contact either vlad - @Vlaaaad or vasily - @motogvasyag

Is it possible to go back to stock pie but with magisk and twrp? Can I flash the kdz, then flash twrp on slot a via fastboot, then magisk through twrp?
Thanks!

You got 2 slots on the phone. Why not just have both? Slot A for stock & Slot B for LOS. Switch when needed. Kicka$$-ness level +1..

I won't even know how to begin with that. It was recommended to keep LOS on A as far as I could understand. My guess was it had something to do with some partitions on one of the slots being damaged to unlock the bootloader. If I had time I would definitely experiment with this but unfortunately got almost none these days. But if there's a guide out there to do this that would be amazing.

Well, you wanna start by getting yer phone bl unlocked and possibly rooted by either vlad or vasily. That solves half of the equation as you now have one slot with stock. Then you wanna head on over to Sgcmarkus' LOS thread for the other half.. done n done.
Oh yeah.. If it's LOS 16 then it's ainz's GSI thread.

I've gone past all of that.... I have LOS 17 on my phone right now. But I am planning to go back to stock pie for the time being.

That's an interesting point to be at. There isn't a stock twrp zip we can flash AFAIK. Didja try switching slots to see if you still have stock on the other one? It should technically be there.

Yes but they would have to use Xsavi's Stock TWRP guide for it to boot with TWRP.

Yes, but he says that's all already done and he's got LOS17. So that technically means he should already have twrp as that's needed for LOS.
So.. It now then a matter of fastboot set active a or b to see what's in the other slot. With any luck it'd be the stock fw, otherwise it'd be twrp booting which then means a stock boot.img needed.

Interesting point. I am gonna try that. But, if it isn't there, it should be possible to have twrp with stock, no? I'm thinking back to the steps after unlocking the bootloader and flashing twrp via fastboot. At that stage, according to Vlads instructions, it should be possible to flash magisk through twrp. Gonna try this now after my titanium backup job completes. Will first check the other slot though.
Edit: Turns out I had LOS on both. LOS 17 on A (which I flashed first), and somehow LOS 16 with RR GSI got flashed on B.
On LOS 17 on A, the phone application keeps crashing, the signal indicator never shows, and the phone just shuts down.
After switching back to B, RR is now stuck on the boot screen. So nothing works anymore.
Gonna flash the kdz now. How much worse can it get?

The phone originially had v405ua11d firmware. I tried "adb reboot bootloader" but it just rebooted. I tried entering the bootloader using the volume down + plugging in, still just booted into android. I used LGUP to flash v405ua20a and its still doing the same. Every guide for unlocking the bootloader involves entering the bootloader as one of the first steps. I don't understand how everyone's doing this. Any help will be appreciated.

Finaly, how did you do ? I have an HK V40 with no bootloader (both ADB command and plug/vol down boot/reboot on normaly). With LG UP cmd I croos flash tu EU version but still no bootloader.
