Snapchat is fixed in latest CB 3.5.4 so you can expect the issue to be fixed in next OOS stable update

Awesome, so it works smoothly on the Community Beta?

Some users in OP forums reported that it is working fine on 3.5.4. I don't use it myself

Preferred network is the highest speed you will get depending on your network provider.

If you choose LTE, the phone will search for 4G, and if it is not available will jump to 3G or 2G automatically.

But if you 3g, the phone will not search for 4G and jump between 3g and 2f depending on your network provider and network strength

But I am asking about the option which comes in setting menu for other device but it is not present in Oneplus to select the network type to LTE/3G/2G.

Yes there is no way to fix the network to 4G or 3G only. You'll have to use a 3rd party app

There is. See the screenshots.

So because I am feeling pretty lazy and this is a noob thread, I would like to verify my thoughts on rooting & unlocking this phone, as well as throwing future OTAs on it when they come out.

1. Follow these steps to for unlocking and root
2. Follow this tutorial (or something similar) for installing xposed
3. Make a nadroid backup whenever I want to flash a new OTA
4. Flash said OTA

I am probably missing something here. Last time I heavily modded a phone was my Galaxy S2, way back in the day. My current Galaxy S4 is only rooted, nothing too fancy, because gay Samsung.

Thanks

Once you have installed twrp, you cannot do OTAs

Backup data
Unlock bootloader
Install twrp
Make nandroid and efs backup (MOST IMPORTANT)
Root
Xposed
(Any mod, kernel that you want to install goes here, unless specified otherwise)
Reboot

Sure, I meant that I would dirty flash the OTA zip. I should have been more clear.

And since I will be doing this right off the bat when I get the phone, I have nothing to back up. Otherwise, sounds like what I was thinking. Thanks.

OTAs can't be dirty flashed in twrp I think. You'll have to download full ROM

I'm fairly positive you can.

Isn't that exactly what this page is for?

Read the note in the 8th para in the 2nd link.

Ah, right on, thanks for pointing that out. Though I did watch the video on that first link I sent, and he dirty flashed with root and it appeared to work just fine.

I am using two ROMs in using multirom33.
ROM A is MIUI ROM . I want to backup and flash its kernel on another MIUI ROM B.
I took backup from flashify app. Its as .img
How can I flash it in twrp provided I am using MultiROM

Can't get into recovery

I was using op3lite latest. Switched to freedom os CE. Now i can use freedom os but can't go to recovery to wipe it and go back to op3lite. Plz do suggest me something to go back to twrp. :crying:

 

[shriom_manerker]

My question is a little advanced here.. im looking for people who have actually one this so that i can confirm im in the right direction on what im abotu to do..

im on 3.5.4 community beta (stock zip flashed,full rom) with the modded twrp (the one that shows the pointer arrow in twrp)
now i need to revert back to 3.2.4 oxygen os because i need to flash the ressurection remix rom for my device...
i know i can directly flash te 3.2.4 firmware files n flash the rom but im afraid there might be problems...

so people who have either flashed from 3.5.4 to 3.2.4 and those who flashed from 2.5.4 to any of the AOSP roms based on 3.2.4 have succesfully flashed their phones... help me on this.

which is advisable ? a quick flash of rom + recovery ? or go from scratch ? because i know if i flash the firmware, somewhere mid way ill have to flash the official twrp image on my oneplus device before flashing the aosp rom...

Flash 3.5.0/3.2.4 FW through modified TWRP from here depending on whatever is compatible with your ROM.
Then flash TWRP 3.0.2-0 through fast boot.
Then flash your ROM.

If you have any problem at any step, whatever you do, do not relock your boot loader.
