Help - forgot to install ota after downloading - Magisk

I have a oneplus 6. I messed up today and downloaded the OTA but FORGOT to install it before flashing magisk to the backup slot and rebooted. Is there any way i can go back to the original partition? Am I screwed?

Dirty flash the ROM zip via TWRP. It should get you booting up into OOS.

BTW, how did you "forget" to install it? I have a 6T & all I get is a "Download & Install" option. It doesn't ask me when to install it. I'm new to Seamless Updates thing. Is there a toggle to disable the immediate installation after downloading?

Ugh I'm not sure regarding it. You can just hotboot TWRP via fastboot & flash it. Or maybe, try sideloading the ROM zip via adb sideload to Stock Recovery.

Have you installed the device drivers? Fastboot mode should be easily detected.

Possible Bricked Phone

I am really hoping someone can be of some assistance to me, today i managed to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and root the phone, i then stupidly downloaded and installed a boot animation from ROM Toolbox lite and went to TWRP and tried to flash it, it came up failed, tried to reboot but it only boots into recovery, tried wiping cache, dalvik cache, factory reset,system and format data and still it only boots into recoverywebt to advanced tried to install it said HTC Dumlock is installed but still boots into recovery,tried reflash to recovery abd restore original boot but still it wont boot up as normal, how can i get the phone to just boot up normally does anyone know?
I am such a twat im usually fairly careful when it comes to this type of thing, it'll be a nightmare if i have to pay to leave it into to get done.
Calm flash a custom rom after a full reset and it should work
If you're having issues putting a rom on your device it's possible through adb sideload with the AIO Toolkit

If you do a factory reset, you remove the Rom element so ideally as I previously mentioned flash a new Rom problem solved

Yeah you need to flash a custom rom - you've wiped system so it won't ever boot no matter how many times you try otherwise

Thanks mate can you be a little bit more specific as to how i can put a ROM on the phone as ive never heard of that AIO toolkit?
If you enter CWM recovery, theres an option called install zip from sideload. Press that and then plug it into your PC, and in CMD type
Code:
adb sideload <location of rom.zip on PC>
I use TWRP i assume that has the same adb sideload?
I am downloading Android Revolution now, so if i create a folder on C drive called c:\android then the ROM is the the img i flash when i open a command?

I presume, I've never used TWRP and yeah correct.
OK i am in ADB sideload now when i open a command and type adb sideload i do not know what else to type, i have saved both the boot img and the full zip file (Android Revolution) in the c:\android folder?

I am in an internet cafe too so i cant stay all day just another hour or so.
thanks
I am gonna have to leave it for now as its doing my head in, i wouldn be grateful if someone could post some specific instructions later and ill attempt it tomorrow, everything appears to be ok when i type cmd then
cd c:\android
adb sideload (what is thew exact name of the file i need to enter)
In the folder 'Android' which you cd'd to, is there adb.exe? And you dont use .img you link to the actual rom zip.

Buddy before anything else could you please put/attach/upload the flashable zip of the bootanimation you got from ROM toolbox?
It is better that we know first what partition it has overwritten so we could distinguish what we need to fix.
I understand that usually the system partition is the culprit but reading from the thread that is all pure guesses. It could be you overwritten a different partition that resulted to this.

No OS, stuck on HTC load screen

Hey everyone. I know I totally screwed up. So I got my Phone today. HTC One from Sprint. I went to unlock bootloader. Success, but when I went to install a custom rom I went to do a wipe, I guess I wiped the wrong thing. So now I don't have a OS, and stuck in TWRP because it won't load. Is there a way to push the rom to the phone and install from there? Or do I need a RUU? Or best bet is try to get a new phone?

I have ran into a similiar problem except I cannot get into TWRP I used the all in one tool and it starts to open for a split second, then I go into a bootloop. I have tried to flash TWRP again bust still no luck. I also reinstalled htc drivers because when I try to run boot into recovery command from the all in one tool, it tells me device not detected. I think this is strange since it finds it to flash twrp but not anything else. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

So installing a custom rom will fix my problem or does a rom run off the stock OS? Or does it use its own OS so once I can install it, it will work?

Easiest way is to download HTC One (Sprint) All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 then see where is says Extras there is an option thats says ADB Sideload a ROM just load the ROM is really simple just read the instructions carefully.
Make sure you have proper Drivers Installed and you are on the screen of ADB Sideload a ROM on TWRP

You should try another USB Port/USB Cable make sure you have the HTC Drivers installed, I would try this:
Disconnect Phone try another USB Port/USB Cable
Reboot phone into Recovery
Open All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 Select Extras ---> ADB Sideload a ROM
On TWRP go to Advance ---> ADB Sideload (Select Wipe Dalvik Cache/Wipe Cache)
Select RUN on ADB Sideload select ROM and the ROM transfer should work (you should see a sideload.zip file thats the ROM)
If that doesn't work probably someone with more knowledge can help you.
I had a similar issue and had to install my rom with the ADB Sideload option.

I as well am getting a unable to mount data issue which is not allowing me to push anything using adb sideload...and when using the all in one toolkit I got a message saying

[Q] No OS, not rooted

So, my dad bought an HTC One from a seller on EBay. The phone was originally on Sprint, but it was unlocked; when he got the phone, it didn't work initially, and after he and my mom trouble shooted for a bit, they got it working. Those are the only details I know; I don't know what the problem was.
After they got it working, my dad did something to the phone, and it froze up completely. He let the battery drain, and then I went to work. When I got back, he had wiped the OS, and the only thing it can do is boot into TWRP v2.5.0.0. I don't know what else he did, or what else he tried.
Here's my problem; I can't flash a ROM on it, because, somehow, it's unrooted. Every time I power it down, TWRP says "Your device is unrooted." I researched a bit on how to root it from that point; but, to do that, you need an OS, which somehow, I do not have. It seems like, to get the phone rooted, I need an OS, and to get an OS, I need it rooted.
So, I tried do use the ADB sideload that a lot of people recommended. I downloaded the SDK packages, I ran Command Prompt, I've tried it at least 30 times by now, but it will not pick up the phone. When I do the "adb devices" command, it has nothing listed. I tried pushing the ROM anyway, just to see, and it fails because, again, "no devices found." I've tried wiping the cache and dalvik, rebooting into recovery, and trying the rooting and the ADB stuff over again, numerous times, and neither one works.
The only thing I haven't tried is doing a RUU; but, before I do that, I decided to ask here, and get some help. The RUU seems extremely complicated, and I don't even know if it will work.
I'll be the first to admit, I really don't know much about Android, or any of this. I've flashed ROMs, and that's about it. So, can anyone tell me what I should try, and if the RUU would work? If it would, can you link me to a guide?
Thank you!
If you hold down the power button while pressing the vol- button, does it load the Bootloader, a white screen with options.
Are you using Windows 8.1? Because if you are fastboot only works on HTC devices with 1.54 and up on 8.1. I was messing with my DNA this weekend and realized that adb picks it up if I'm in twrp but if I'm in the boot loader I get no device found. I also have an HTC one which isn't rooted and adb can pick it up in Windows 8.1 in normal debug mode and while I'm also in the boot loader. I'm using usb 2.0 so make sure that is what you plug it in to. Otherwise, there are driver issues with adb and fastboot in 8.1 and htc has not updated their drivers for it.
Other option is to download a live CD of Linux and try sideloading a Rom through there.

If you're problem is not having root , then try flashing a supersu.zip through recovery. That should enable root access you're able to enter recovery.
I thought twrp provided root, anyways theres any option in advanced I think you can sideload a rom via adb push. It's something like adb sideload "name of rom sideloading.zip" and I don't think you need to be rooted to sideload.

Root doesn't come with recovery and can be lost sometimes upon flashing a new rom. That's why the supersu.zip exists.

Yes upon initial install. But I know some ROMs which say you lose that root access after flashing it and tell you to flash the supersu.zip in order restore it.

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having a root checker if their root files could be deleted? I'm pretty sure it's built into the recovery. I could be dead wrong, never ran into a custom rom that's never been with out root.

i dont get why you need Root to install a ROM? flash a ROM in TWRP by going to Advanced -> ADB Sideload. have a ROM on your PC where the adb and fastboot files are and type in "adb sideload name_of_rom.zip"
select reboot system when it is flashed, when it asks for root select "Do Not Install", and it should reboot into your flashed rom

My initial understanding was that OP could not get adb working to sideload a Rom. Usually twrp will ask upon reboot to install su if it detects root has been lost.

If you can't get adb to work, then you should buy a USB-OTG adapter.
With the USB otg you would be able to connect a USB-Stick to the one and mount it in the recovery.

I downloaded a file called "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip" from a website called "chainfire"; I'd post a link, but I can't do that until I hit 10 posts.
Then I installed it, and it was successful. Then I tried installing a ROM; and it failed again. Then I wiped everything, rebooted, re-installed the SuperSU, rebooted, and tried installing the ROM; it failed again. Also, every time I restart, TWRP still says it is not rooted, and gives the option to root it. I always opt to root it, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
I'm also noticing, when I try and flash the ROM, it does this:
"Updating partition details...
Installing '/usb-otg/ROM.zip'
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
Verifying zip signature...
E: Zip signature verification failed: 1
Error flashing zip '/usb-otg/ROM.zip'

Could it have something to do with this MD5 check? Or maybe this Zip signature verification?

there's an option in TWRP where you can toggle signature validation off/on. try and turn it off then run the zip.
Root is needed AFTER you install your ROM. I think you have a corrupted zip file. Sideload a ROM but after you download it check the md5 to see if its downloaded correctly. You needed to read more bro. Sounds to me you are very new to this.

You actually don't need root to flash a Rom. Sounds like a bad download like the other dude said.
Sent from my HTC one using XDA Premium HD app
You should be able to install any rom you want as long as you're able to flash zips from the recovery, even if there's no OS installed, that just means the system and boot partitions are empty and they can be easily filled with a rom zip. And root is something that comes with the rom or something you can install after you flash a rom. You don't need root to flash if you can already boot into TWRP.

Can't flash 6.0 , TWRP recovery won't go into ADB. What can I do?

I rooted today because I can't wait much longer for an OTA update. I'm trying to flash though ADB but can't because TWRP won't load ADB mode. I have reflashed TWRP recovery but it still doesn't work.
So can I do now? Can I use an OTG cable or download the image right to the device? Should I restore my backup and re-root without adding a custom recovery?
I'm so lost, any help would be great.

share, and ill probably flash with you. i miss the aosp browser
The Nexus Root Toolkit says I should force flash the image if system.img is not found, and it's not. Is this a good idea or will this brick my devic? Also, where can I find your build, blueeyes?

Link is just above your post. I agree. Toolkits are an emergency tool. Unless you fully understand what its doing, don't use it.

You want the factory image. Download it. Extract all zips. Install minimal adb and fastboot. Plug up to CPU , put device in bootloader mode. Simply start adb/fastboot, CD to where images are, type fastboot flash bootloader "name of BL", fastboot reboot bootloader, fastboot flash boot boot.img, system system.img, cache cache.img

Blu_spark twrp isn't decrypting data now

Well I knew TWRP couldn't decrypt so I installed blu_spark and everything was working just fine. Now I'm trying to restore back to OOS to get the newest open beta but of course I booted into recovery and it's locked again. Idk what to do, don't wanna reset because I don't have my computer with me to get anything back or use command prompt to do anything. Am I stuck?

Try Red Wolf, which seems to work well: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...d-wolf-recovery-project-t3805416/post76843238

Unless there's a way to install it without using fastboot I can't install it, no computer. I'm on TDY and left my laptop home.

You can flash one TWRP from another TWRP. Are you completely locked out of your current Recovery or can you use the Install Menu?

I can get in recovery but it doesn't decrypt my data which means it doesn't see anything or any storage, that's my issue.

If you're rooted then you can use terminal commands in the phone to flash recovery.
For example, if the recovery .img file is on the root of the internal storage (/sdcard) and its the latest official TWRP the commands would be:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp-3.2.2-0-oneplus3.img of=/dev/block/sde21
Partition sde21 is the recovery partition.

Really think I might try that, just hope I don't brick lol
If you can still boot your os which I assume, and if you are root, you can just download twrp app from play store, flash your old recovery file (bluspark).
It worked as a charm for me
I've had issues like this in the past. The *fix* was a bit troublesome because it wiped all my data and there was no way around it, fortunately I backup my stuff on a computer regularly so that wasn't a problem for me.
Anyway, if you're still having trouble here is what worked for me.
1. Download stock recovery for the OP3T (http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/recovery_op3t.img)
2. Boot into fastboot
3. Flash the stock recovery img
4. reboot into recovery
5. Format your phone to factory
6. Download custom TWRP (This is what I use with Oreo and it works perfectly) - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657595792
7. reboot phone into fastboot again
8. Flash the custom TWRP recovery
9. Reboot into recovery
You should be back in business. Hope this helps.
The latest version of TWRP (3.2.3-0) seems to have fixed decryption problems: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...ial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3742894/post77270858
