Update to OxygenOS 9.0.0

[Mouchoir]

Hello,

I have a rooted Oneplus 5 (Android 8.1, OxygenOS 5.1.7) and I'm trying to update it to get the newest version of Oxygen OS.
I found the Firmwares here : https://www.getdroidtips.com/oneplus-5-stock-firmware/

However, when I try to install it via TWRP, I get this

Updating partition details...
...done
Full SELinux support is present.

Updating partition details...
...done

After looking around on the internet, I found that it is because my TWRP is outdated.
I tried to download newer versions from the Official TWRP App but when I go to the recovery, I only get a black screen.
I reinstalled this version 3.2.3 : https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-oxygenos-5-0-t3725723 but still can't manage to update OxygenOS.

Any help ?

Thanks

Hello, I can't recommend any guide on outside of xda cause they're not consistent...

Just follow this guide in the first post https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003 would help you.

You can't flash twrp 3.3.1 cause you need newer firmware, pie firmware.

Please answer all the questions:

What is you current twrp recovery (file name)?
What is your current Rom(file name)?
What is your magisk version?
Is your storage encryped or decrypted?

Hello and thanks for your answer.

My current TWRP is twrp-3.2.3-0-20180822-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img
I am not sure about my ROM's file name
My Magisk version is 19.3 (19300) - Magisk Manager version is 7.3.4 (235) : it says everything's up to date
I think my storage is encrypted since it asks for my password when I start TWRP

[Clean Flash] For Users with an Unlocked Bootloader and TWRP Recovery:
Download the full ROM zip from the downloads section above
Transfer the zip to the root of your device's internal storage
Only needed if you are coming from Oreo and use a TWRP that does not ignore the compatibility.zip check: Remove the compatibility.zip from the downloaded full ROM zip with either MiXplorer or Total Commander (not with any other tool!) on your device itself
Reboot to TWRP recovery (make sure you're using an Oreo TWRP if you're on Oreo Firmware/ROM or Pie TWRP if you're on Pie Firmware/ROM) and take a nandroid backup of your existing ROM
Flash Magisk Uninstaller (recommended)
From the TWRP menu, Wipe > Advanced wipe > Select dalvik-cache, cache, system, vendor and data> Swipe to wipe
From the TWRP menu, Install > Select full ROM zip (modified one with compatibility.zip removed, in case you're on Oreo or unmodified one, in case you're on Pie) > Swipe to flash
Flash the latest stable Magisk in case you want to root
From the TWRP menu, Wipe > Advanced wipe > Select dalvik-cache and cache > Swipe to wipe
Optional: If you wish to decrypt, format data via TWRP (please note that wiping the data partition, which we did in the 5th step above, is not the same as formatting it) and after that flash xXx No Verity 4.0.zip from here
Reboot
Note: First boot may take some time, so please be patient and wait for it to boot.

If I understand correctly from the link you sent me, TWRP doesn't ignore the compatibility.zip check so in order to install OxygenOS 9.0.8 I need to delete this part of the ZIP first ?

Thanks

Exactly, delete the compatibility.zip from 9.0.8 rom file and flash it with your current twrp, exactly like in the linked guide for update, not clean flash if you have already a rom above OxygenOS 5.1.4, so please check your OxygenOS version(settings, about).

Hello,

Indeed, I have OxygenOS 5.1.7

I have struggle to understand the difference between clean and not clean flash tho

If you have TWRP, move the OTA file to the PC, open it with 7zip (NOT WinRAR) and delete the compatibility.zip. Then copy it again to the phone, flash and before rebooting flash a Pie TWRP

Clean flash wipes system and data, so no os, data and settings.

Thanks I'll do that. Can I go for the newest version directly or do I have to flash them one by one untill the most recent one ?

As I already wrote you: if you are already at 5.1.4 or newer, you can flash 9.0.8

Better safe than sorry !
I downloaded the version here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003
and deleted compatibility.zip from OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_051_all_1907311835_5de64c.zip but I still have an issue when installing :

Yeah I can't seem to find the solution. I've tried to use codework's TWRP as stated here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75543048&postcount=3104
I've tried to wipe cache/Dalvik : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75079739&postcount=2470
I tried to flash then restart and flash again : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75077082&postcount=2416

I just can't seem to find the solution to the ERROR:7

With which tool did you remove the compatibility.zip from the rom zip? That's the key usually and explained within the instructions

I re-did all the process and managed to update my OS on the second try.
Now I have an issue trying to put TWRP and Magisk back : I'm following this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3624877 but I can't seem to be able to put TWRP.
When my phone is on and connected to the computer,

adb devices

does see the phone but then when I go into the bootloader and I type

fastboot devices

nothing happens. When I go for

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

it just tells me it's waiting for any device.

I've tried deleting and reinstalling the drivers with the too provided in the thread, but still doesn't work.

 

[Pierre02]

Yes because to use fastboot you have to be in fastboot mode...

Thanks for your answer. I believe I am in fastboot mode/bootloader as I said in my previous message. I've been following this tutorial : https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3624877
I just checked on Youtube, this is the screen I am on : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xlmZXgkUrQ

So as I said, once I am on this screen where I can select between START/POWER OFF/RECOVERY MODE/RESTART BOOTLOADER and I type the "fastboot device" command, nothing comes up.
Is this screen not the "Fastboot mode" ?

Yes this is fastboot sorry maybe I didn't understand. If you are able to backup your data, use Unbrick tool to update your device

I was hoping I could flash TWRP and Magisk without wiping my data
It's weird that when it's on I can see it with "adb devices" and Windows sees it's a Oneplus, but when it's in fastboot I can't with "adb fastboot" and Windows detects an USB but can't say what it is.

I feel its a driver issue but can't figure it out

That's such a strange bug. If you are in fastboot, it's impossible for your PC to recognize it in ADB mode. Try with another computer or use unbrick tool to clean your phone (it installs Oxy 9.0.8)

 

[Mouchoir]

Well I managed to see the fastboot thanks to the EOM cable but I think I bricked my phone
