My Oneplus 3t recently got a bootloop issue where the phone won't turn on, it only getting warm, with either green or white notification light on. The only way to turn off the phone is by entering fastboot, then I can enter recovery, or turn off the phone. I already try clearing cache, delete data, and reinstalling stock OS 5.0.8 twice, but it still facing the same problem. And also, if i wipe cache through recovery, the device will load the OS, enter the new phone set up process, then freeze up after a few seconds, then the screen goes off, device got warm, and the cycle continues. Is there any solution for this issue? is it a motherboard issue? or battery issue perhaps?
Sounds like a failed system upgrade. Also downgrading to OxygenOS 2.x is not a good idea due to changes in encryption methodology between OxygenOS generations. As long as you can unlock the encryption in recovery, I would recommend you to backup the internal data storage using "adb pull /sdcard" and then use the Qualcomm factory restore solution to return phone to factory defaults, hopefully the phone will return to working order and you would then run "adb push" path to local copy of sdcard dump" /" to restore all your photos and files. You will of course lose the info in the data partition, but since there's a great chance that there's where the problem lies I don't see any other way to get back on track.

Okey, well then your problem is not in the system partition but rather in the data partition as i suspected.

You using stock recovery, or TWRP?
If you are using TWRP, you can format the storage (in Wipe options) and see if that helps.

i'm using stock recovery, is formating storage = wipe everything? if so, I did that a couple times already
I haven't used stock recovery for years so I wouldn't know what Oneplus define as "storage". But doing a factory restore in recovery should erase the data partition where the system saves all configuration files and folders and where apps store protected data.
And if that doesn't helt, then you just follow the Qualcomm factory restore guide here in the forums, that will for sure restore your phone to working order, as long as there's no hardware at fault of course.

No, wiping and formatting are not the same. Formatting will sometimes fix data partition corruption, when wiping doesn't usually do that. It's fairly easy to do on custom recovery (TWRP). But no option for that on stock recovery, unfortunately.
you can try formating using fastboot command
"fastboot format userdata" then sideload the latest OOS ROM

Hey guys,
My work switched to Google Apps for their email so i wanted to test it out on my phone. Doing so required them to encrypt my phone. What this appears to have done is encrypt the data partition. So now when i go into (TWRP) recovery and try to do a backup / wipe / or anything else, it says it is "Unable to mount /sdcard" I'm unable to do a factory reset of any kind so i'm essentially stuck on this rom (ARHD) until i can figure out how to wipe data and get the /sdcard to be not encrypted. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm imagining that with the modified recovery not being able to access the data partition that i'm going to have to do some adb type stuff?
Please help! I want to keep flashing new roms!
Anyone??
I think you can't decrypt your data partition...
Did you try to wipe your data partition with the latest TWRP?

That's the thing, the recovery can't mount /sdcard so wiping isn't an option from recovery

Hi! Only TWRP recovery can solve your issue just do this...
Boot to TWRP recovery->Wipe
From there there are 2 options the left is the advance wipe and on the right is Format Data
Just select the format data button and it should reformat the whole data partition.
1st one would prompt so many errors and reformat then reformat it again 1 time and it should fully reformat your phone.
In theory it should reformat data partition even when encrypted but just in case it fails and I won't be able to go back to this thread just boot in bootloader and type
"fastboot erase userdata"
Well none of that works. TWRP doesn't support decryption yet for this device.

What I instructed basically doesn't decrypt the partition. It reformats it.

I know what you instructed, it doesn't work. Only way I got it to work. Flash the stock recovery. Boot into system. Take off the encryption, phone reboots and removes the encryption, data is formatted. Then flash TWRP again.
I basically ran into this exact problem. I was hoping that I'd still be able to back up the encrypted device, but forget about it. What a pain in the ass.
Someone should make add something to the guides about how encrypting your device makes nandroid backups impossible.
I turned on device encryption in order to play with it (bad mistake). Performance is suckish, it prevents me from flashing anything stored on the internal filesystem (have to use USB dongle), battery life has gone down, etc.
I tried wiping the device by doing a factory reset both in recovery and through settings. Neither method touches the encrypted data partition. Re-flashing the ROM makes no difference. The encrypted partition is extremely resilient
Based on some research, the only known way to wipe the encryption is to revert to stock and use stock recovery to do a factory reset. This sounds insanely cumbersome if all I want to do is wipe a partition. Does anyone know of a better way?
If stock recovery can do a factory wipe without mounting the encrypted partition, it sounds like a feature to add to CWM or TWRP.
Device is ATT HTC One, rooted, S-OFF, Super CID, CWM recovery, Sentinel ROM 4.0.
Many thanks
You can try and flash an ruu? See if that helps and if it doesnt try the stock recovery thing. Never heard of it though.

So, the wipe of TWRP didn't removed the encryption like it say this when you will wipe?
Strange
However, flash the stock recovery and do a factory reset like you said, and see if it work..
you can do it via TWRP just make sure the rm -rf mode is disabled in settings... Or maybe in fastboot... Just type
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
Or another perhaps is ask someone to create a nand dump of their user data partition and use "dd" to write it on your own.
Problem Solved!
Eureka!!!!
I was playing with CWM and figured it out. In the "mounts and storage" tab, if you select "format /data" it fails with an error that it can't mount the volume.
If you select "format /data and /data/media" it works like a charm. For some reason, it performs the format operation on the raw partition while the prior option tried to mount it first.
Back in business
Thanks RootShot ["format /data ¨in advanced wipe first¨ and format/data ¨& write yes in second¨ " ] did the trick and saved my phone back to work ...
Question if I do a factor reset on my MotoX DEV Ed. 4.4.2 updated with unlocked bootloader, TWRP, SuperSU will I need to reinstall TWRP and SuperSU or will I retain TWRP and SuperSU?
A factory reset just wipes /data (via recovery). It doesn't do anything to recovery or to /system. Put those two together and you have your answer.

And when you have TWRP installed, it doesn't even completely wipe data since your Nandroid backups survive a factory reset. I just did one and was surprised to see that.

"Data" in this case is the /data partition. Backups are stored on the SD card, which is a separate partition.

No it isn't. The /sdcard is /data/media. The reason that TWRP and CWM do not format this during a factory reset is that they are setup not to. They don't actually format when you do it, they do a "rm -rf" of everything except /data/media, unless you select the option to wipe everything, in which case, they actually format it.
Long story short... My USB port is dead on my Nexus 6. I flash everything in TWRP such as roms, kernels and modems (YAY for the ability to do so). I am wanting to wipe everything in my phone to start fresh. Let's say I did a factory reset to the phone (wiped everything except userdata), got my rom to boot and then went into recovery to wipe my userdata partition only, would my phone go ahead and rebuild the partition on successful boot?
Thank you in advance!

Wiping a partition in twrp will show a.o. the message 'formatting...'. The partition is already build but empty.

Ah gotcha. Also the rom will still boot with empty USERDATA? Just making sure it does not have important files for boot...

Wiping data in recovery shouldn't affect the system or booting.
But, personally, I'd take a full nandroid backup before anything. If you can't plug in to a pc and use fastboot to fix anything serious, you should be playing it very safe. :good:

Data in recovery and userdata aren't the same. There's no "userdata" in twrp. (unless the newest twrp has changed?)
Userdata is apps, data and internal SD storage. You use fastboot typically to erase userdata.
You use twrp to erase data, and internal storage, separately.
Edit: and yes, it does store to userdata. But you can't erase userdata without a PC. Just erase data in twrp, and leave internal storage alone.
Or wipe it all, but without access to a PC, you could not fix the phone if anything goes wrong. That's why I'd keep a full nandroid backup on the device.
Good Morning, I want to upgrade brother device to new version of android (because he can`t install security updates for unknow reasons), but I affraid that he loose all apps and settings (he is a firefighter and have app from firefighter station which signals dangerous traffic etc.) So my question is can I update downloaded stock ROM via TWRP (adb sideload) without fears that he loose everything?

The only thing that will take your fear, is a backup of all important partitions (boot, system, data, vendor, efs, persist), stored externally, plus a copy of the internal storage content, also stored externally.
With that you should be able to restore everything to the exact point it is at right now, so you'll really need to mess up hard to not come out of basically any situation with those partitions saved.
As for your inital question:
Why don't you just update via ota if you wanna stay on stock?

Okay, so maybe first copying internal storage content to your PC and backup important apps would be sufficient then.
For apps you can use Titanium Backup (good, but makes troubles on android 10 at the moment), Swift Backup (recommend by many others) and more.
These backup solutions save apps and app data on your phone, so copy that to an external place, or you might lose them if you need to format data (which I'll suggest).
After your "backups" are made, I would wipe every partition in each slot, which you can also achieve with a "fastboot -w", and then also format data - the one where you need to type "yes" (which will also erase all internal storage content, but most probably will also solve your troubles).
From here there are tools like miflash or fastboot images to reflash stock (inform yourself about them, before you start all that!).
Be sure to flash the latest one right away, so you won't be in the need of "dirty" updates immediately again.
Afterwards, you can copy back the internal storage content and the folder of the backup app, and restore the previously saved apps.

I tried MiFlash, but without wipe anything, and it don`t upgrade version of system
But if I must, flash 2 slots A/B using MiFlash or one slot (A) is for system?
You can just download the zip file with version u want from the site below and flash it via TWRP making cache and dalvik cache wipes and changing slots at the end.

Just if u want. It's not necessary.
In october I updated mine this way but forgot to change the slot before rebooting to the system and realized that was in the old Android version. I just went to TWRP again and changed slot. After rebooting, the phone was in the updated Android One.
