Firmware updates only [OOS 3.1.2 -> 3.5.3]

[DavidXanatos]

Since OnePlus decided to change some firmware interfaces introducing incompatibilities, I thought it would be very useful to have zips that update only the firmware to a particular version.
This zips do _not_ contain the boot.img or the system partition, only bootloader and other firmware.


The release firmwares 3.1.2 -> 3.2.4 work with all ROMs as of (20.09.2016), the same for the community build firmwares 3.5.0 and 3.5.1

The release firmware 3.2.6 changes something in the fingerprint scanner and current ROMs end up without this feature working.

The community build firmware 3.5.2 changes something in the boot loader breaking compatibility with all older ROMs as of (20.09.2016) including their own once, it also breaks compatibility with TWRP, however there is a moded version that works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68691560&postcount=56

When you have firmware 3.5.1 you can still boot into a 3.5.2 community build but the fingerprint reader wont be working.
Also the fingerprint reader issue is not kernel related, you can boot 3.5.2 system partition using 3.5.1 kernel but the fingerprint reader does not work, hence the incompatibility is on one of the vendor blobs in the system partition.

Next to be tested: if I have 3.2.6 firmware if that gives me the ability to run 3.5.2 firmware with the normal twrp

with this firmwares as long as you keep away from the one that breaks twrp you can switch/flash between cusotm firmwares and the last official OOS release without issues, just remember to flash the right firmware to keep your fp scanner working

Given that to my knowledge all custom ROMs as of (20.09.2016) that have a custom kernel like (http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/rom-t3457741) are based on the last source release from oneplus.

You should go for 3.2.4 firmware or earlier.

There never were images released for 3.2.5 its a factory only version, so unless someone with a unadapted oneplus3 from exact the right manufacturing batch dumps the partitions we wont have that version available.

3.5.2 <- this community build firmware changes bootloader and BREAKS compatibility with all ROMS, except the Comunitybuild 3.5.2 itself. It even breaks compatibility with most TWRP images. Do not install that one!

it seems its the actual baseband file NON-HLOS.bin in 3.2.6 that breaks fingerprint. im currently running the 3.2.6 firmware with the baseband replaced with the one from 3.2.4 with resurrection remix

 

[peshellas]

thanks mate, i was about to create a thread to ask someone who knew how to make these firmware zips to make them for everyone. thanks mate really useful to be able to switch roms, although i think we only need the two, 3.2.4 and 3.2.6, since anyone using 3.5.2 like me dont need to flash anything

Actually I don't think that is possible out of the box.

Someone could make an app that knows al SHA1 hashes of all firmware partitions and than compare the found partition hashes and list it.
As we know possibly ROMs may be deployed with mixed firmware files.

thanks good to know that

I wonder why modem and FP scanner share the same firmware, I would have bet on keymaster.mbn or tz.mbn (TrustZone)



My myself I'm running the community build 3.5.2 with 3.26 firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/rom-oxygenos-3-5-2-modded-instalation-t3465408) till now all seams fine FP scanner and TWRP

hmm... if its different for each of the stock releases that that would be an option indeed

Is the firmware from 3.2.6 newer than 3.5.2 or the same?

 

[geekynoob]

I had a funny question.. I might try this as well..
If I flash latest rr and then flash 3.2.6 fw..will it be a boon or a bane..??

Pfff... thay are different, 3.5.2 breaks bootloader compatibility, 3.2.6 does not, booth however break fingerprint scanner compatibility with custom ROMs and old OOS releases.

rr ? You mean ResurectionRemix?
I'm pretty sure with 3.2.6 your FP scanner wont work with that rom. it will only work with OOS 3.2.6 or 3.2.6 Community build 3.5.2
Just go for 3.2.4 if you are going to use anything else then OOS 3.2.6 or 3.5.2

I was more meaning the version numbers. I know things are broken for custom ROMs.

 

[xanthrax]

Even using dual boot with RR as secondary and 3.2.6 primary breaks the fingerprints on RR
