OnePlus 5: Unlock Bootloader | Flash TWRP | Root | Nandroid & EFS Backup & More !!

[strongst]

I'm using Blu_Spark Twrp. With the decrypt option offered can I just enter my password and backup and restore without disabling fingerprints, etc or must I still disable it before backing up to avoid issues?

It's highly recommended to remove it before backup, otherwise you need to remove the files with TWRPs file manager if your recovered backup won't unlock.

Thank you. Will do.

Will i be able to reconfigure my official email id post rooting?

Hi,

I was thinking of going ahead and rooting my device and installing a custom OS. Though i am familiar with the overall process stated here in this thread, i still have a query and i request you experts to guide me.

I have configured my official email id on my device that is running a stock OS. In case i root my phone (without going ahead and installing a custom ROM) & stay encrypted, will i still be able to reconfigure my official email id. By the way, i use the "Boxer" client to configure this email.

Appreciate any advice that you guys may have for me.

Thanks,
Gokul

Upgrade from OOS 5.1.1 to 9.0.0

What are the steps to jump from OOS 5.1.1 (rooted) to 9.0.0 (rooted)?

I read I first need to update to 5.4.1 for the treble support, but how about afterwards?

My current guess would be:
1. remove encryption
2. back up
3. flash 5.4.1
4. flash TWRP & Magisk
5. flash 9.0.0
6. flash TWRP & Magisk


Thanks in advance!

Nope, much easier:
Clean flash 5.1.4 then take ota update(or dirty flash full zip) 9.0.8
Then you can install twrp and magisk again.
These are the steps as an overview if you're familiar with the stuff.

Nice, thanks a lot!

Does the OTA work because I'm not reflashing TWRP/Magisk between versions, therefore i'm not rooted?

Exactly, that's why ota is working: stock recovery, no root.

Hence you should flash twrp from fastboot after, 9.0.8 and then magisk if you want to choose this way :good:

Did you format internal storage prior this? Please give more information about rom, mods, encryption status of internal storage etc.

I tried clean format and just booting to the bootloader after I've been using it, same result. Stock latest OOS, not rooted, I am encrypted. I even installed OOS 9.0.7 and I got the same result there too...

Ok, I recommend to flash(dirty from stock recovery by local installation) 9.0.8 again. Then reboot to the os, go to factory reset and start factory reset. Then reboot to bootloader and try locking again.
If this did also not help, there's an unbrick guide(msm tool) which will write all partitions new.

I've done a ton of googling and haven't found an answer to this. Hoping someone can help :good:

I'm trying to remove forced encryption on a custom ROM. Whenever I flash a dm-verity disabler zip via TWRP, I get the error, "Updater process ended with Error: 1. Error installing zip file."

The relevant part of the TWRP log says, "/tmp/updater[63]: .: config.sh: No such file or directory. Updater process ended with ERROR: 1"

What am I doing wrong?

Try using a different no-verity zip. I recommend the xXx-No-Verity-4.0.zip downloadable from here. Additionally, I hope you know that just flashing the zip over an existing installation will NOT remove encryption. You will have to format your data for it.

Woohoo!! That worked! It's weird because I tried one other no verity zip (I forget which one, specifically) and it didn't work either. But the one that you linked me to did the trick. I am now unencrypted :victory:

Thank you so much for your help!
