As its widely known the official installation zips for the 4.0.0 community release of OxygenOS break boot loader compatibility with all other ROMs and all but one TWRP image.

I messed a bit around with firmware/kernel/system combinations to bring you the one and only which allows for running the 3.5.3 with a boot loader which is compatible with TWRP and other ROMs.

Required firmware revision 3.2.6, download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224381129 this zip contains only firmware no boot.img or system partition. Other firmware only packets can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/firmware-updates-oos-3-1-2-3-5-2-t3465312

OxygenOS 4.0.0 without firmware files: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767120365
OxygenOS 3.5.3 without firmware files: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224381127
OxygenOS 3.5.2 without firmware files: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=312968872162493315


I know I could just put booth in one zip but I thought to keep it separated would be better in the long run.

So installation Guid
1. boot into TWRP
2. install the firmware zip
3. install the OOS 4.0.0 zip
4. wipe cache
5. reboot system and go back into recovery (this step prevents recovery from being overwrite by the stock one )
6. install SuperSU if you want or if you not than don't :D
7. reboot to system
done

Now keep in mind that 3.2.6 firmware while works well with old kernels has a updated fingerprint scanner firmware and will render the fingerprint scanner inoperative for older OOS releases and current custom roms. To fix that just flash 3.2.4 firmware packet together with the custom rom or your restored backup (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224381128).

Step 3 you mean 3.5.2 zip? And step 1 twrp you mean official? I'm currently with the modified twrp.

yes, it was a typo now fixed

> Have I lost the base-band, as I retrieve it?

3.5.2 modem

I live in a rural area in Missouri state that I often get poor signal, sometimes one bar on edge. The modem on 3.5.2 gave me the bestsignal and was rock solid steady, sigh, lol. Will you perhaps be releasing a flashable zip for it? If possible??
Thanks for your work and efforts!

If you use CM/RR you cannot use this radio as it will break your home button function.

3.5.2 modem

Here is a link with only the baseband file taken from 3.5.2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68782646&postcount=336

I am using it currently on 3.2.6 without issues.
Is this flashable in tarp? Or flashier? And thank you much. Going outside in the rain or snow isn't my idea of fun lol. I bought this hoping it would work better for reception since I'm in the boonies and even the fastest cable is 5mps where you can get it and when it's working lol.
Cheers,
Denny

Yes it is flashable in TWRP. In case you run into issues, simply reflash the 3.2.6 firmware linked in the first post.

I'll try it, I'm not using the 3.2.6 firmware because the home button doesn't work for me. Hopefully it will work and that kind you for your time and effort!
