{GUIDE} Jumping between 3.5.2/3.2.6 and New Released CM based Roms (Eg: RR 5.7.4)

Oneplus has Screwed a lot of things between 3.5.2 AND 3.2.6..!! I wanted to try newest version of RR released by Blackjubel. But had issues.
Took me 5 minutes figure out things and decided to share it here:
IMPORTANT POST..!!! READ..!!! Credit for firmware files to @davidxantos
For people coming from 3.5.2 or 3.2.6
I am making a very important post. This is meant for all those who are using latest community build of Oneplus 3 and want to try another rom. You will not be able to do so as the twrp you are using will not flash roms completely and the firmware of community build will not let you flash the latest build of twrp. So here is what you need to do.
READ CAREFULLY:
STEP 1 : Grab firmware for 3.2.6 from this link and flash. flashing this will BREAK your fingerprint sensor. WAIT read on.
https://drive.google.com/…/0ByD3oqJ_...0;/view…
STEP 2: Now flash latest twrp 3.0.2.1 . Now you are on the latest twrp.
STEP 3: Now Flash firmware for 3.2.4 from this link. YOU HAVE your finger print sensor back..!
https://drive.google.com/…/0ByD3oqJ_...0;/view…
Now you have the latest twrp again and also can flash anything you want to..!!
Thanks to Oneplus for screwing this..!

Thanks but 3. 2.6 files do not found

No link works!

Just go find another link if these here don't work ...
There is a thread with all official firmwares. Or just use Google.

Could it be that your bootloader is now locked again after using the unbrick tool?

I know...

I was on 3.2.6 after the OTA. I installed TWRP 3.0.2.1 and re-rooted it. I then took a backup and proceeded to flash RR 5.7.4. Broken fingerprint scanner/home button.
First, does anyone know why this happens? Can it be fixed?
In the meantime, do we need to revert to 3.2.4 to be able to install other roms and not break the the fps/hb?
Can anyone point me to a TWRP flashable version of 3.2.4? <-- Got this, Thanks.
Thanks in advance.
Edit to add below
I did what was detailed in the OP from stock rooted 3.2.6. I flashed the 3.2.6 firmware from TWRP. Rebooted to bootloader. Flashed TWRP 3.0.2.1 via fastboot. Flashed 3.2.4 firmware from TWRP. FPS/HB broken.
Did I miss something?
Reflashed 3.2.6 firmware on a hunch. FPS/HB working again.
My goal is to get to RR 5.7.4 with a working FPS/HB. Any ideas?
Thanks again.

In short, we cannot flash official twrp via modified twrp? Can't we just flash 3.2.4 without flashing 3.2.6 firmware?

Thanks for this. I'm about to flash 3.2.4 fw only.
Good thing I saw this thread.
So step by step procedure if we wamt to flash other roms are:
-reboot to recovery (modifoed twrp)
-wipe
-flash 3.2.6 fw via modified twrp
-flash/install official twrp.img
-flash 3.2.4 fw
-flash rom etc
-finally reboot?

i'm using multi rom with FOS 1.5.1 as primary and whenever i flash RR(Flashing 3.2.4 firmware before and after too) and custom rom, FPS/home button not recognised.
what am i doing wrong, although multirom does have individual space why cant the older firmware doesnt work. everything except the home button is working fine.
can anyone explain how it works.

Modded twrp can be used to flash 3.2.6 or 3.5.2 oos.. Now if u want to go back.. Using the modded twrp flash the 3.2.4 files.. Just reboot recovery now flash non modded twrp as u have 3.2.4 files official twrp will work.. And then flash any rom u want..

Multi rom cannot distinguish firmware files.. They are core files.. So fp won't work..

okay, so the developer have to include the firmware in their roms in future build, thats how it works, right?
and while experimenting i flashed OOS 3.2.4 firmware but FPS working fine in FOS 1.5.1. how come it is?

This will do it. It's how I got going. I went from stock rooted 3.2.6 OOS to RR 5.7.4.
Thanks for putting to words for others.

TWRP wont run on P9

I recently installed twrp eva 3.0.2 on my P9 L19C636 but it wont boot into twrp. It gets stuck on your device is booting now.
Thanls

Not every recovery can run on any firmware. If you are on the newest firmware (N) try the newest TWRP 3.1.0-0.

For stock rom try the newest superuser or if it doesn't work the pre-rooted boot image from this forum. (flashed via fastboot)
For me I had no success with the superuser install for some reason but the boot image worked.

TWRP stuck at Patching image unconditionally

I've been using mauronofrio's TWRP on this phone for over a year and never had any problems with it when flashing ROMs. I've recently updated TWRP to the latest 3.4.0-0 and had no problems flashing LOS.
There is one bug that has never been fixed. Sometimes when you boot into TWRP it does not recognise any touch on the screen. Just turn the display off and on again with the power button and it works fine after that.

The TWRP I've pointed you to is the better option. Orange Fox is only good for installing if you plan to stick with MIUI.
There is absolutely no need to flash DM Verify, or a DFE script.
You will not need to flash firmware and vendor files if coming from the latest MIUI 12.
