{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 3.2.0.0

Has any of you guys tried the newest TWRP 3.2.0.0 for OnePlus 3T? Did you find a bug?
Thanks.

I wonder if it triggers dmverity and how to avoid it if we just want to upgrade twrp...

I assume you flash the updated Recovery followed by the patched firmware, which i assume you already have? I don't even know if the firmware is necessary but whenever i flash anything i also re-flash the patched firmware while I'm at it. No reason not to.

Alright, DM-Verity will be cleared if you flash the newest Magisk beta, and TWRP 3.2.X.X is working fine. I don't think Teamwin would release an official version of TWRP without making sure it's completely free of bugs. It flashes Oreo ROMs (Cardinal Xtended, N2Os) and also flashed OOS 5.0 very well. Add-ons such as Magisk and Magisk Modules flashed flawlessly.

I can't flash any Android Oreo ROM

Hello, I have a problem with my Xiaomi Redmi 4X phone, as I said, I can not flash any Custom ROM for Android 8.1 All this happened after I put my phone in service to replace the display on which I've broken it. Now any version of Android 8.1 I try to flash results in a bootloop. I have to mention 3 things
1. In TWRP when flashing I noticed that all Custom ROMs are stuck in "Flashing system files ..." for a few seconds after saying that it ended flash-but did not abssolut anything.
2. Now a few hours I accidentally flashed Pixel Experince, but now I have the same problem.
3. I can not flash any versions of TWRP.Not much but...
THIS IS HAPPENING ONLY ON THE ANDROID OREO ROMs, Nougat ROMs works perfectlly

Try to flash first latest version of twrp or you can flash redwolf recovery then flash firmware v40 then try clean flash for oreo roms

As mentioned by above user...(latest TWRP recovery and firmware is must)
Flash latest TWRP recovery, 3.2.1-0 should be fine but there's update available 3.2.2.-0 so any will do.
Next, flash latest firmware.
Clean flash is must when changing OS.
It's most likely you don't have latest TWRP recovery and firmware.
Do backup first.

Unable to install twrp in my p9

I have tried many .img but impossible to boot twrp in this device. I tried in nougat and mm but after flashing it, it doesnt boot, normal SO boots instead.
Currently compilation number: EVA-L09C90B180
EMUI 4.1.1 Android MM
Any help? Which version of twrp am I supposed to install?

I was using pixel experience ROM for some time and I tried to update to the latest plus edition. The installation guide recommended full format data and flashing. I did as instructed. Now I'm stuck in booting into TWRP recovery. I looked up a few kinds of stuff and none of them worked. Is anyone else facing the same problem? has anyone got a working fix? I tried removing the TWRP folder, re-flashing TWRP with TWRP and orange fox recover, and then flashing ROM. non helped. got a broken phone now any help is appreciated.

AOSP roms can be under ANDROID 11 or 12 or 13.
PixelExperience​
Android OS version: 11.0.0_r40
The first version is in A11 and since August in A12
Version: 12
File name: PixelExperience_raphael-12.1-20220820-1826-OFFICIAL.zip

I had A12 then. I flashed pixel experience 12.1 on May 28(PixelExperience_Plus_raphael-12.1-20220528-1605-OFFICIAL.zip) and it went thru just fine. Now the updates of 8/20 bricked the phone.
After format data, I get the Readonly info screen, I swipe to allow modification, side loads the latest download PixelExperience_Plus_raphael-12.1-20220820-1448-OFFICIAL.zip, and restart, but back to TWRP recovery.

Wipe everything, system, vendor, internal storage, dalvik, cache via advanced wipe, then flash firmware and vendor or if your rom has included firmware then just flash the rom directly. Try to boot into OS if it still bring back to twrp then again repeat the above steps and this time flash stock vendor and firmware from mi website and try to boot into OS.

All the best

yes using the team win version of TWRP. Used Orange Fox recovery. ( nice look and feel and features btw). But they didn't work either. What could I try more? Could I be able to revert back to MIUI stock ROM ? let me know if you have good resources. Thank you very much for your time and efforts

Back to MIUI
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/

flashed stock miui rom for now. Will tap into pixel rom in few days.

now that I think, I think I did a blunder, thinking I was in A12. Can you point me to A12 firmware for Redmi k 20 pro? I"m looking into https://miuirom.org/phones/xiaomi-12, but they seem to be recovery and not firmware. I'm not sure if recovery comes with firmware. As I need to format to install, will the firmware stay or not?

Xiaomi has stopped updating on Android version 11.
Which rom do you want to install?

Why bothering to manually search here and there for official ROMs
Install the app:
MIUI Downloader - Apps on Google Play
MIUI upgrade app for Mi users.
play.google.com
and the app will show you links to download the latest Global, EEA, etc, zip/recovery or tgz/fastboot, or you can scroll through the older versions and pick an older if you wish
Btw, latest are MIUI 12.5, A11 - there are no official A12 ROMs for Mi 9/Redmi K20 line of models
Even if they receive MIUI 13, it will be (for some already released, but eg China only, etc) it will be A11

Same issue, I guess this is it for me. Time to buy a new phone rather than accidentally losing data from time to time with custom ROMs. I wonder if they didn't know such issue exists before releasing it to the public.
