Black screen, blue led after update -> try this solution

Hi to All,

when you have a black screen with a only a blue led after you tried to update and you only see encrypted files in twrp,
then adb sideload you latest installed image (http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-5/), wipe cache and dalvik-cache an the try to boot up. For me, this works fine, all my data is back!
(You have to reinstall twrp and root after you flashed the image...)

Big thanks :good: to @combathero and @WhoDunnit!

Greetings

I got same issue OP5 went bootloop after upgrading to Oreo. All of my files from internal storage also encrypted unable to decrypt both stock recovery and twrp 3.2.1.0. What I did is to download the previous ROM which is 4.5.15 then I used ADB sideload from TWRP then clear dalvik and cache. Now device able to boot back to 4.5.15 with internal storage recovered. HTH

Thank you @combathero you just saved my day!

Just like many others, my device was broken after installing the update from 4.5.15 to 5.0 thorugh the OP5 updater.
Stuck in the boot logo all night long.
Trying to reinstall 5.0 through adb sideload OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_027_all_1712231851_8d16de8.zip from stock recovery did not resolve the situation.
Trying to reinstall 4.5.15 through adb sideload OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_020_all_1712052226_98fd584ab032fe.zip from stock recovery failed.

Booting into TWRP through fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-cheeseburger.img I could not even see my files: /sdcard was empty.
Booting into TWRP through fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-x_blu_spark_v8.61-op5_op5t.img I could see my files in /sdcard, but they were scrambled, since TWRP did not ask for a unlock code.

I successfully managed to recover my data in the following way. $$ denotes a command entered in a terminal.

1. Boot into TWRP through

 $$ fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-cheeseburger.img

2. Select adb sideload; for me this complained (in red) about not being able to mount /data because of missing decryption keys.
3.

$$ adb sideload OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_020_all_1712052226_98fd584ab032fe.zip

and tick wipe cache and dalvik-cache This will manage to update the system partition, but will fail when trying to do something with the data partition.
4. Reboot into fastboot
5. Boot into TWRP through

$$ fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-x_blu_spark_v8.61-op5_op5t.img

Now I was asked for a unlock pattern! /data was successfully mounted and decrypted!

I'm now backing up and copying anything that's on my device, so no clue what will happen if I restart my phone or if it will even work. At this point I do not really care, because I have my data back.

I imagine this would suffice. But since i messed up before doing it as advised i cannot say for sure this would be enought to rid you of pottential problems.
It seems a lot of people have been having issues with this update.

I just posted in hope of helping someone who messed up the installation like i did and is stuck in a boot loop.

I get it. I will continue to search for a perfect and safe installation

Hello
I'm french noob user
My op5 :

Twrp blu_spark 8.61
OOS 4.5.15
Rooted Su V2.82 SR5
Encrypted partition

How can I upgrade to oreo without any problems ?

I did a backup with TWRP, but the backup inside internal memory is encrypted, and no TWRP versions ever asks for encryption key. I have tried several guides and so far, I was not able to retrieve my data. I tried to sideload latest Nougat zip but it gives an E1001 error, and does not apply.

Try blu spark TWRP, if my device is encrypted, blu spark will surely ask for pattern.

If you wiped everything, then of course no files will show on TWRP. That's what is supposed to happen
Format (not wipe) the phone, then follow method 2, copy ROM file to phone, etc. Do not use latest supersu, it will be stuck on boot logo. So, do everything on method 2 but install latest magisk. If you want encryption, then do NOT install no-verity, if you want decrypted, then install it. I prefer encrypted, so if someone steal my phone, they can't access my files.

I'm with TWRP 3.1.1. If I format the data, will my files be deleted as well?
Do I need to erase pattern and fingerprint?

I just want a way to install Oreo, even if I lose the data.
Just do not get bootloop again.

If you format, it will delete everything, even encryption. Backup to pc.
Follow my post before to see how i got rid of boot problems.
Let it boot for one time before installing root.

See my post, better install fresh... Backup first, always important.

Also, let it boot one time before installing root magisk.

You can't. Doesn't matter which method you try, you will end up wiping out your internal storage and lose the encryption status. The whole tutorial was very misleading and now we have a ton of users reporting soft brick/boot loop/data loss issue.

Hi there,

I am seemingly stuck, and I think it will require a wipe, but I figured I would check first to see if anyone has any ideas.

Status of phone before update:

Unlocked bootloader
Everything else stock (OS, no root, stock recovery etc.)

Update downloaded the OTA on its own (I am in Canada), and chose update and reboot without thinking (every other OTA worked fine, but I guess minor updates had no issues).

The phone is now stuck in a boot loop. edit: red circle with white circles going around it

Tried TWRP, it seems everything is encrypted.
ADB sideload does not work, so I cannot do that. "cannot read" error.

Thanks

Install blue spark TWRP if you haven't done so yet. Do a backup there. Copy everything to pc. Do a clean install.

Unfortunately it is encrypted. I found a workaround using the method here to get it unencrypted at least: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-5/how-to/guide-restore-data-stuck-bootloop-n-o-t3724515

Seems I will be doing it as you mentioned, thanks.

I agree with @MadCow809. Tutorials are misleading. If you are experiencing boot-loop then you can reboot in recovery again and try to mount System and Cache partition. It may work. This is issue with un-locked boot-loader and root users. Did Oneplus mention somewhere that they are supporting un-locked boot-loader devices in Oreo update?
But better to do clean install by wiping all partitions. Of course take backup of data first.

Hi @Hatrigit just a point of note. I have a OP5, 4.5.15 OS and in Recovery there is no "Wipe Cache" per se only "Wipe data and cache", so w respect to Method 1, I don't see how that is applicable unless it is for the 5T.

So what should I do to get oreo ?
(don't care losing data)
Somebody could write a tutorial for op5 root and trwp recovery ?

FLASHING INSTRUCTION :

METHOD 1 : Using Stock Recovery

Step 1: Place the downloaded Full ROM zip file in internal storage.
Step 2: Now Reboot the phone to Stock Recovery
Step 3: Wipe Cache.
Step 4: Now select Full ROM zip file to Flash.
Step 5: Now wipe Cache and Factory Reset
Step 6: Reboot the phone.

For users Who are facing Bootloop after completing all Steps, it means your phone is encrypted. So you have to wipe your internal storage to make your phone to boot.

For this method I need to remove root (magisk), put stock recovery, and relock bootloader?

• Step 8: Flash Oreo under TWRP
• Step 9: Flash no_verity_mod file
• Step 10: Reboot into Oreo Oxygen OS
• Step 11: Flash Magisk Beta for root

I'd like to suggest a few minor modifications to your steps:
======================================================

These instructions are exclusively for Oneplus 5 phones that are rooted, using a stock OOS Nougat (4.5.x) ROM with data encrypted. WARNING these steps will reformat ALL your user data so make backups and copy those backups to OTG storage or a PC/Laptop! The phone's internal storage (/sdcard and /data) will be erased during the update process!

• Step 0: Backup your apps and their data with Titanium Backup then copy the /sdcard/TitaniumBackup folder to a PC/Laptop or OTG storage
• Step 1: Remove all fingerprint & pin from the device (!! IMPORTANT !!)
• Step 2: Reboot the device to the bootloader
• Step 3: Using a PC/Laptop, flash Blu_Spark TWRP via ADB command
• Step 4: Reboot device to TWRP (now the Blu_Stark version)
• Step 5: Take a nandroid backup and copy it to a PC/Laptop or OTG storage
• Step 6: In TWRP delete dalvik, cache, system & internal partition
• Step 7: Format device
• Step 8: Copy Oreo Rom and the no_verity_mod files onto your device
• Step 9: Flash Oreo under TWRP
• Step 10: Flash no_verity_mod file
• Step 11: Reboot into Oreo Oxygen OS
• Step 12: Using a PC/Laptop, flash Blu_Spark TWRP (again) via ADB command then boot into TWRP recovery
• Step 13: Flash Magisk Beta (v14.6 or v15) for root. Do not root with SuperSU at this time.
• Step 14: Boot into system and begin recovering your user data/apps from the PC/Laptop backups

NOTE: I have NOT personally tested the steps above but it's the plan I'm trying to verify from the abysmal posts of other stock, rooted, encrypted XDA users.

My own question is, with the flashing of no_verity_mod, do you end up with decrypted user data? If the answer is yes can you re-encrypt through the OOS settings or any some other way?

 

[Feedmeeeee]

Does wifi drain persist on this release too ?

 

[sansanc]

If case of an encrypted device, i think wipe is not going to work, you have to format, which is not the same thing. Check TWRP Wipe menu.

Yup, on my phone, wifi has the gold medal for battery podium.
