Hi everyone,
I literally just got the Chinese version of the oneplus 3T (A3010) and I want to move from Hydrogen OS 2.5.1 to Oxygen OS 3.5 official with OTA. Does anyone have the file or instructions how to do this? I found instructions for the oneplus 3 but not sure with this model. I'm sure any help would help out a lot of people who are gonna ask this question.
Also will this unlock the bootloader? Just curious about it affecting android pay.
Thank you!:laugh:

Wanna do me a favor and grab a nandroid backup of your rom before you kill it? I actually want h2os
Aside from that, you should theoretically be able to: ("Official" guide https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...oid-efs-backup-and-more.475142/#post-15431571)
Unlock the bootloader
Flash TWRP
Flash dm-verity
Flash OOS 3.5.3 from the ROM page, I have a mirror too (http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/zip-flashable-firmware-modem-t3509015) mirror on pg 2.
and you'll be set, you can flash the original recovery if it's available on the OnePlus page as well and relock to go back to full stock just English version
PS: Since there is no stock recovery image available yet, maybe will have to run TWRP temporarily, rip the recovery off and then proceed? I dunno
Thanks for your quick reply! I was hoping more along the lines of the adb Sideload method and keep the bootloader locked for now though. If I go the root method sure I can share the nandroid backup.
PS the rom looks really similar to the oxygen rom, so far it looks like only the launcher is different. I guess this is part of the plan to merge the two.
Well you can try flashing the image straight. It's a stock image anyways so it could work.

Basically what I meant was to do the opposite of what is suggested here http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/rom-h2os-2-5-oneplus-3t-released-t3511443 but with the 3.5.3 ROM
Help needed with android pay and OOS clean install
I'm in a similar situation with a chinese bought OnePlus 3G from Lazada.sg that came with Hydrogen OS. I've managed to install TWRP but because I'm completely new, got stuck and instead managed to install OOS 3.5 (now 4.## from the official website) using adb sideload.
I do have 2 questions:
1) My internet connection drops occasionally even though my WiFi is still connected, is that an issue because I might not have installed it correctly? Would a clean flash solve it?
2) I understand android pay is disabled when you unlock bootloader but even after that, will it be possible to wipe the phone clean and do a fresh install of the lastest OOS and the phone will pretty much be like the international version, with android pay re-enabled?
I believe you can use Sultanxda's patch as another way around, but it sounds complicated as hell for a new person, so I'll continue digging around while waiting for a reply.
Thank you, and any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Hi everyone:
I'm an ex IT tech. but don't know that much about smartphone tech. I say that because I'll follow along quickly if people can use metaphors that relate back to PCs. I've used Linux a bit but am not a Linux expert.
I have a Droid 4 with Jelly Bean on it. I'd like to upgrade it to whatever is the most stable later custom version of Android. Do people recommend CyanogenMod 12? Some LineageOS version? Stability and having everything work as much as possible is what's most important to me. Speed would be a bonus, but it not as important as stability/functionality.
I've done the following to prepare for this:
-Taken a screenshot and put it on my PC to keep track of which version of Android I have.
-Downloaded SafeStrap 3.75, but don't know if I have the right version for this phone. Somewhere I saw something about
a special version for the Droid 4.
-I'm not sure which gapps version to download. Will later versions have more apps but be more likely to
have compatibility issues with an older version of Android?
-I know how to get into developer mode
-I know how to get into Fastboot mode
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, however I was looking for something a little more newibe-friendly. There are literally dozens and dozens of pages to read. On top of that, the link to the SafeStrap is dead, and there are circular links, all of which appear to go that dead link. As well, the page to download the patch to enable the GSM on CDMA Global phones also has dead links.

The link for safe strap is not dead there are two versions. One from stargo and the other is a modified safe strap for unused partitions redone by some one else. You need to look in the correct posts and thread. Here is the download: http://www.internauta37.altervista....afestrap-maserati-v3.75-unused-partitions.apk
As far as for gsm keep looking you'll probully find something. I can't help you with that because I never needed to use but it shouldn't be to hard to do or figure out.
As far as wich rom you want to use just try a few different ones and see wich one you prefer to use as a daily driver.

Hi Shplad,
It all seems a bit overwhelming at first, but there isn't that much to it really. So, if you've got some IT experience, I'm sure you'll be fine. I always use the latest version (out of curiosity), but from what I've read, CM11 is considered pretty stable, but 12 and 13 are good too. And you'll probably find you don't need the GSM patch as it'll just work automatically - I think it was required in CM12 at one point, but that might be fixed now.
You haven't mentioned rooting. If you haven't already done that, you may as well get that done first, and it's covered in the pages that sd_shadow linked to. And I had a quick look at the links to safestrap in the pages that sd_shadow linked to, and they all seemed ok to me (as OGdroidster has just said also). You just need to make sure you've got the one with 'maserati' in the filename.
So, (from memory - could be wrong), you just need to:
- root the phone
- download your chosen rom and gapps
- install safestrap
- in safestrap install file system then boot into recovery mode
- create yourself a slot in the boot options
- make sure your new slot is the active one (it tells you at the top)
- install your chosen rom and gapps in the install section
- reboot
And if you get stuck, you could just ask, and I'm sure someone will answer pretty quickly.
Good luck
So, which versions of Android are CM11 and CM12? Can anyone else chime in and let me know if CM12 is better or more stable than CM11?
It turns out I could not download the Safestrap because my firewall was blocking some advertising/metric site which was required to go that page. Got it now.
Not sure what the GSM code you refer to is for. Will the upgraded phone with CMxx not work by default on GSM networks, or is something different?
Thanks

CM11 is KitKat (4.4), CM12 is Lollipop (5), CM13 is Marshmallow (6) and CM14 is Nougat (7).
I was referring to the GSM patch (that you queried above). What I was saying, was that in most versions of CM, GSM automatically works, so you won't need to apply the patch. But if you did have a problem, the links seem to work fine to me.
If I was you, I'd try out a few versions and find which version you prefer, as I don't think anyone will be able to tell you which is 'best'. I would have thought you'd be fine with 11, 12 or 13 though, and because you can have multiple roms installed with safestrap, you could install all 3 if you wanted!
Thanks. I guess I wasn't aware that you could use any CM. I thought only 11 or 12 could work properly on a Droid 4. So, any of those ROMs might work?
Also, at what stage do you install the GSM patch if it is necessary?

As far as I understand it (which could be totally wrong), 11 and 12 are no longer being developed and will only receive security updates, so from that point of view, I guess they will be more stable. But 13 and 14 will work, but there may be the odd issue here and there (particularly with 14 which is still quite new). You'd have to have a quick scan through the comments to see if there's anything that's like to be a problem for you.
With reagrds to GSM, I should just try it and see if it works to begin with. If it doesn't, then download the patch, reboot, go into safestrap, install the zip then reboot.
Hi,
If you are going to use a ROM with ART (Lollipop CM12x and above) Do not use CM12. It is old, outdated, and laggy. CM13 (LineageOS 13) provides a superior experience. Once LOS 14.1 becomes official for our devices, I would highly recommend upgrading to it, as it provides superior memory management.

Wow, this is a lot to take in. Thanks. So, I don't quite understand the repercussions. Once I root, does that mean any ROM OS that boots is somewhat more vulnerable, cause it's like being logged on as root in Linux, or does it depend which ROM I'm using or something else?

Okay, I figured out after my last post that root status depends on which ROM you are running, and of course installing a ROM without root status would put you back to unrooted status.
I downloaded Lineage OS 13 and verified the MD5SUM. I rooted the phone using Shadow's video.
Now I want to make an image of my NAND or have some other method of restoring the stock ROM before I install a new ROM. At what stage in the process do I do that and what is the safest tool / method to do that? RSDLite? Adding another ROM slot and using Nandroid backup?
Awaiting anxiously...
Alright, I learned from Googling that RSDLite can restore a ROM to the phone directly from your PC.
Does that wipe out any upgraded, more modern ROMS that I put on the phone, such as Lineage OS 13? Is it like having multiple partitions or hard drives on a PC?
How safe is the RSDLite procedure? Can someone explain the pros/cons of doing it that way versus (as I understand it) having 2 ROMs on the NAND available? I see a lot of HOWTOs, but very few explanations/diagrams/theory. If I could relate this back to PCs, I'd be able to understand better.

As far as I understand it, and again, this could be wrong, using RSDLite is usually a last resort in the unlikely event that you've completely messed up your phone. You will lose everything, and your phone will back to how it was when you bought it. I've never needed to use RSDLite myself, but from what I've read, it's a pretty reliable way to get your phone working again. As long as you follow all the instructions, and install CM (LOS) 13 into another slot, it's very unlikely that you'll damage your original stock rom and you'll still be able to boot into if ever you need to. Hopefully, someone who knows more about it will comment also...
I got Safestrap 3.75 special version for unused partitions installed. I didn't realize it allows you to make TWRP ROM backups.
I made a backup of the stock ROM. The first time I did that, I got an error stating it couldn't find or access /boot.
Strangely, the second time I tried, it seemed to work fine.
I copied the folder with the stock ROM backup to my PC, just in case. I managed to flash with Lineage OS 13. It booted fine, but I forgot to select the Gapps zip as well. It does not appear to be rooted after bootup.
1. Do I need to reinstall Lineage 13 or is there way to install the apps without reinstalling Lineage?
2. What is the normal state of this ROM? I'm not sure if I have to root Lineage 13. If I don't enable root, will I be unable to run TWRP recovery and add the Gapps zip file and reinstall? I don't want to be stuck with a successful Lineage install and no apps. I'd find another way to install the apps, but I'm guessing you can't without the apps themselves, no?
Help!
Okay, I figured out how to install just gapps 5.1-2015-05-23-24 . However, during configuration, I cannot get the phone to connect to gmail via WiFi (I don't have a data plan).
"Validating Server Settings...
Couldn't open connection to server."
I see other people had this in other version of Android. Is this a particular problem in Lineage 13? Any solutions known?
...AAAANDDD Google Play Services has closed.
Hmm...this does not seem very stable at all. Has anyone actually tried Lineage 13 on this phone or was it just a guess that it might work?
EDIT:
I tried these suggestions, just in case.
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/ACSvDiQoufI
Now, I'm getting the error:

Google Play Services keeps closing. Should I uninstall the gapps and install a more compatible one? I think network connectivity is not stable.

Hi. I don't use gapps, and I'm uisng LOS 14 myself. But there's 57 pages of comments for LOS 13, so I think it's fair to say people have tried it! Now you've got it installed, you could post in the LOS 13 thread, and ask people which version of gapps they are using.
P.S. The first post in the Droid 4 LOS 13 thread appears to suggest using OpenGApps and has some details on how to install, or you could read through that thread for other tips.

Thanks for that. I didn't post there earlier because I thought it was only for developer reports of bugs, and my coding skills are exactly zero. Should I wait to see what happens in that other thread and not post back here until I hear something from there?
Hi someone with an account on 4dpa with 30 posts could please download this rom and share it here? I don't know Russian so it's impossible for me to write 30 posts.
I have a Zenfone Go (Z00VD) and the stock ROM it's terrible (crash in the camera, 1 Gigabyte of app space already full....)
In case you can't, could you provide an alternative ROM with as less bugs as possible?
Thank you

Guess we're on the same boat buddy. Have you tried the other ROMs on their forum like the nougat ones? They seem nice.
I personally prefer to use the RR 5.5.9 lollipop rom provided by 4pda since for some reason the nougat and marshmallow roms on their site just give me bootloops. It may be different for you though.

Hi, not yet, it's not my phone so I'm searching a stable ROM. I saw the nougat thread here but it's not very clear what works and what not, there seems to be a nougat rom on 4dpa which should work well except the videocamera with the stock app, but the Oreo one seems almost bug free although more complex to install. Unfortunately I can't access it.
Hello,
From what I can tell, both Oreo and Nougat ROMs were unstable and/or sluggish for me, so I'd recommend to stick to Marshmallow based ROMs(for now). My personal preference is ResRemix 5.7.4, but if you decide to try any of them, keep in mind that ROMs with kernel 3.18.19(as far as I've seen most of ROMs in that thread) all have these two issues that I was able to find so far:
Notification LED doesn't work
Bluetooth audio doesn't work either
Other than that, the ROM is super-stable and somehow better than 5.1.1 ROMs from official dev thread there.
And for JustAnormalGuy, bootloops in later ROMs seem to happen because of unwiped internal storage(basicly needs entire /data partition wiped somewhy). Try marking the 'Internal SD' option when wiping partitions for ROM installing.
Good luck!

Those 2 bugs are not a deal breaker for me, would you mind linking to the ResRemix 5.7.4 rom that you used?
Sure, buut since I can't post links(thanks XDA for 10 post restriction, love ya!), I'll have to send one another way.
PM me your Discord handle(if you have one) or something else. I should be able to send you the link there.
aurismat, and what version of twrp do you use ?
I use TWRP 3.0 by Jemmini. It's been a *long* time since I installed it though, so if you have something different, I'm afraid I won't be of much help unless I'll be able to pull my recovery .img file.
Actually, i use the same version. Problem is most probably my method of root. The common method of rooting for our device didn't include any flashing with sp flash tool. But for my situation, my bootloader is locked even after downgrading. So i did the other method (also found on the forum) in which includes flashing.
Hmm, it *may* be the root method, may be also the locked bootloader.
If I recall right(and this might be THE common way), I used the fastboot method from XDA, and I knew it'd work cause I rooted more phones that way. I remember downgrading the stock ROM down to version 39(i think that one still had the bootloader check in dev options) and then trying to unlock the bootloader and obviously go through flashing the recovery image.
Dunno what might be the issue with your way of flashing, though. AFAIK might be anything from leftover files to bootloader giving the finger.
@aurismat i think the problem might be that i used the "format all + download" option on sp flash tool. Does that affect the phone in any way that deprives my phone from using 6.0 - 7.0 roms? (Besides the "null" imei effect)
@JustAnormalGuy I don't think it should be a problem, because the ROM .zips install their own stuff to the partitions AFAIK, so even if Flashtool wipes everything, it should still be fine. Try doing one of them ROMs(previously said ResRemix worked for me), but remember to wipe the Internal Storage partition if you can.
Oh and remember to take a backup of your current ROM, should it bootloop again at least you won't have to do the hassle of reinstalling everything back(learned that the hard eay haha).
EDIT: was it just Nougat ROMs that you were trying or was it both Nougat and Marshmallow? Not sure what might be the cause, but the ROMs developed under the same kernel from ska-vova in 4PDA worked for me. Just a thought.
well actually i already tried various roms from Marshmallow to Nougat all of which gave me bootloops. I've already followed the steps of installation as written. However, i tried once installing a Marshmallow rom from the facebook group named "ASUS Zenfone Go Indonesia" and it surpisingly worked for me (numerous bugs present however), as well as most of the marshmallow (and only marshamallow roms) on their group.
The thing is I also might think one of the reasons why i get the bootloops in the roms from the 4pda forum is the kernel used in them. (just speculation) Should it be correct to assume that ?
As I recall:
Working rom shows "kernel version > [email protected]"
Not working rom - "kernel version > [email protected]"
Hmm, I'm using [email protected] kernel version 3.18.19.
All the ROMs there seem to be by mosly nik-kst's kernel. ska-vova seems to just build ROMs with the kernel.
Besides, take note from the working ROM - it's also from 4PDA.
Only thing I can speculate is that your device is somewhat different(maybe different hardware, not sure) and hence why it gives you BLs.
Dunno, this case is a tough cookie to be honest - only thing I can recommend at this point is to flash literally EVERYTHING back to stock and try using fastboot method to get recovery and root back.
Hey @Darkorn,
Over the span of a few days, I've tried installing 4PDA's Oreo ROM.
It took me a good couple of headaches to make out what translated Russian meant in the instructions, but I've managed to repartition the entire device to the guide.
Seems to work properly so far, hell even Bluetooth and Notification LED issues from older ROMs seem to be fixed!
Though one thing that annoys me *personally* is that it's impossible to install SuperSU, so you're stuck with Magisk. It's not the end of the world, though, as long as you don't care about SafetyNet's BS.
Oh and @JustAnormalGuy, try repartitioning your device according to the Oreo instructions in 4PDA, that might be the solution for ya.
If I ever get up to 10 posts I'll ask those guys permission to let me post the tutorial here with all the links(hopefully).
Until then, good luck to both of ya!

Nice! Resurrection Remix is working too well to bother, but who knows in a few months!
That would be great man, thanks !!
Hi guys, I have an SM-N960F dual sim exynos Note 9 and i have recently discovered this whole other element of ROM flashing known as project treble ROMs. I tried to flash a few different ones and i could only get one to work and the rest all just either bootlooped or stayed on the initial splashscreen. I was wondering if anybody could shed some light on them a bit for me and perhaps knew exactly the best way to flash them, and what firmware is best to start on beforehand etc? I found the whole thing EXTREMELY confusing especially with venfor images and kernel images etc...
Thank you for any input/help!
We can't really use the term Project Treble when talking about Samsung phones. Technically it is implemented, but Samsung being Samsung, it's quite a non-standard implementation and not really compatible with anything else.

Ive flashed a few of them onto my phone but it seems to be a bit of hit and miss as to whether they boot up or not. The ones that do have been good in terms of the size and speed etc, I even flashed a generic copy of OneUI which worked well.
I am on Pie base using the Dr.Ketan rom, so I tried a few GSIs which are supposed to be compatible with Pie base. I took them from here.
The way I flash them is:
1. Factory reset from TWRP
2. Flash the GSI as system image
3. Flash stock kernel otherwise you will be stuck on boot logo or you will get into bootloop. To flash the stock kernel I just use Dr.Ketan's rom, because the UI upon flashing allows you to choose and flash stock kernel and skip everything else.
(They mention that we should flash Permissiver also, but it gives error so I can't flash it)
So those GSIs boot up, but they are barely usable. The "System is finishing update" and "System setup will start soon" are stuck for me and never finish. Also for example in the PixelExperience9 from this collection I was not even able to add my Google account because of the system auto-closing almost all system apps that I try to open.
It might be that these things should be done in a different way, but this is my experience for now. So..... back to Dr.Ketan ROM. I was really hoping to get the MIUI GSI as daily, but it seems impossible to me.
EDIT: Lol I realised we are the same people talking on the other thread also, so you gave me the link to the treble collection.
