i'm using multi rom with FOS 1.5.1 as primary and whenever i flash RR(Flashing 3.2.4 firmware before and after too) and custom rom, FPS/home button not recognised.
what am i doing wrong, although multirom does have individual space why cant the older firmware doesnt work. everything except the home button is working fine.
can anyone explain how it works.

The firmware installs on a different partition reason why you have to flash it on the primary ROM with an effect for all roms so, if you have 3.2.6 oos primary and rr secondary, flash 3.2.4 fw for rr to work but it will break the oos

I was talking about the fingerprint scanner, won't work on oos 3.2.6 after flashing the 3.2.4 firmware in order to have the rr latest with fingerprint working as secondary

Some are saying that if going back to other roms from 3.5.2. We need to flash 3.2.6 firmware first before installing official twrp then followed by 3.2.4 firmware?

Will i lose my twrp / brick my phone if i flash zip directly downloaded from downloads.oneplus.net?
If you're going to flash something from there then read across that forum, we have no idea what are you going to flash... A zip... only you know what zip

Just a quick question here.

I was on 3.2.6 - I unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP and rooted. Installed Nuclear and of course the home button no longer works.

So - do I need to flash the 3.2.4 firmware, linked in the first post here? If so, do I wipe in TWRP, flash that firmware and then flash Nuclear?

Thanks
no need to wipe any more than cache,
and order of flash mostly does not mater with the firmware

Hui guys,
I'm currently on CM13 0927 Nightly.
How can I check my firmware version ?
Will flashing 3.2.6. will break anything and be overwritten by next nightly ?

Many thanks

Hi, read OP, 3.2.6 FW will break fingerprint if it isn't update in your custom rom (for example sultanxda's CM have it)
