[Q] Need Some Help

Hi,
Need some help.
I just upgraded to CM 11.0-XNPH44S.
Now after doing that my root gone so do I need to unlock the bootloader again and reroot it or reroot alone is possible.
Unlocking the bootloader means wiping out the phone to factory settings and I'll lose many data in doing that.
Plz help me out.
PS : Can anyone provide the link for OPO Toolkit v2.0 coz mediafire.com link provided in actual post doesn't work and every post on web directs to that link only.
ThnX

First off, you don't need a toolkit, so don't bother. You don't need to unlock the bootloader again, it doesn't relock unless you lock it yourself. All you need to do is flash the sorts zip in TWRP and you'll have root again.

Here's one I prepared earlier:

Check out Section 4, that has a link for SuperSU and explains how to install it. Feel free to ask any questions if you need to.

and, if you want to use cm's Integrated Superuser, just flash this zip instead of supersu
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9zgutQLF14HUlJReXM0NE9TU1k/edit?usp=docslist_api
make the superuser settings visible via terminal
su
setprop persist.sys.root_access=3
and you're fine! this even survives ota updates, as long as you DON'T opt for automatic re-root via recovery

Sorry to disturb you again.
I visited the link you provided but I had few doubts.
Before updating to CM 11.0-XNPH44S when I boot to recovery it goes to TWRP Recovery menu now it goes to Cyanogen Recovery
menu so do I need toinstall TWRP recovery again the way you told or Cyanogen Recovery will do fine.
Can we install SuperSU using Cyanogen Recovery.
Even if I have to do the way you told will my data & apps will be there or it get formatted.

You need to go into Developer Options and uncheck the 'update CM recovery' option. Because you failed top do this before you've lost TWRP during the update. Just flash TWRP again and you can flash SuperSU again. No you can't use CM recovery for this. You won't lose any data or apps.

TWRP wiping issue

Hi, I was running Lollypop with franco kernel on my Nexus 5. I wanted to change my rom but sadly i wiped the cache, system and dalvik without copying the rom I had to flash into my nexus. I have a TWRP. Windows doesn't recognize my nexus and if i try to install throught my otg cable i got an error who says E:Mount: Unable to find partition for path *hammerhead image.zip*
What can I do?

You need to get windows to detect your device.
Go to my adb and fastboot thread (general > sticky roll-up) and install the universal drivers.

When I plug my nexus in my pc it says aosp hammehead in Device Manager, but when I try to update my drivers it says it's impossible to find them (I obviusly followed the guide and copied them in c:adb)

Aosp hammerhead when booted into recovery?

Yes, I didn't turn off my phone or reboot it since the wipe because when I try to do it TWRP says No Os installed! are you sure yuoi wish to reboot?

Turn MTP mode on in TWRP

Ok now I can see my nexus, I tried to copy the image there but I still get E:Mount error

Where is the error?

In the prhone when I go in the TWRP->Install->choose the hammeread zip image->Swipe to confirm flash-> it gives that error and says failed

What exactly are you copying to the phone?

image-hammerhead-lrx22c, who I found in hammerhead-lrx22c-factory-0f9eda1b, which I downloaded from google

That's not a flashable ROM.zip
If you want a stock, recovery flashable ROM to flash, go to general > sticky roll-up > section 6 - resources and download a flashable zip by vomer

I see, so I have to dowload the rom, the Rom, the radio and superSU, then flash them in the same order, right?

Just ROM and if you want root, yes SuperSU. Not really sure what end result you're looking for. Flash radio of you like.

As you probably understood, It's my first time doing that. Well, second, but the other time I had a friend with me. What I want to do is first of all get my phone working again, and hopefully that should do the trick. Then I'd like to install a custom kernel (ElementalX) and that's pretty much all I want.

You'll be fine with this, I'm confident.

I hope so! In 4 minutes I'll have the N5_LRX22C.zip, wich I will flash. To be sure, correct me if I'm wrong, I have to Install throught the TWRP, than flash supersu and in the end install the kernel zip from the recovery, right?

Yes, you can flash supersu after the kernel and I'm sure it will work (some kernels require supersu to be flashed after and reflashed every time you update kernel)

Elemental X will be fine though so as long as ROM goes first, rest is fine...
Oh OP, ensure you have latest SuperSU beta

Thank you both! I've done it all! Thank you very much, you pretty much saved my night.

You could use adb sideload in twrp to install stock. Alternatively, you could use fastboot to do it too. Either way, there are ample resources for you in the general thread to accomplish both.

Don't you have adb/fastboot installed on your PC? You should face if you have an unlocked bootloader. Anyway, that feature isn't really necessary, you should just be able to copy a ROM zip from your PC to your phone and flash it. Or do as I suggested and flash the stock images.

There's no point to locking your bootloader, having the phone closer to factory doesn't actually achieve anything constructive. As you can see now it causes problems like this. So you have TWRP recovery installed still?

It should be wherever you pasted it onto your internal storage. You shouldn't need to copy a folder, only the ROM zip.

Actually, you can unlock your bootloader by flashing this:

Just flash it with TWRP recovery, and it'll unlock your bootloader.

If adb is working you can use adb sideload to flash it. Put the file in your adb/fastboot folder on your PC. Go into TWRP and connect your phone to your PC, go to the Advanced menu and select adb sideload, then swipe to start sideload. Open a command prompt from within your adb/fastboot folder (shift + right click, select open command prompt here), issue this command:
Code:
adb sideload OnePlusOne-BootUnlocker.zip
Wait for it to finish, and you should have an unlocked bootloader. You can confirm by putting the phone into fastboot mode and issuing this command:
Code:
fastboot oem device-info

[Q] HELP major issues after OxygenOS

(had rooted phone running cm12 nightly earlier) So i downloaded the oxygenos file yesterday, forgot to extract and directly went to TWRP, clicked wipe (ticked everything EXCEPT internal memory) then went to the .zip file of oxygenos and attempted to flash, Obviously that failed and as a result i had no OS. Did a fastboot thing and flashed cm12 back on (already had file on phone) then extracted oxygenos, went to TWRP and wiped all except internal then flashed and successfully rebooted.
Then, I even had to flash SuperSU for root again, a new version since the one on my phone was old i guess
Here's the thing now. I have all my apps up and running, but i cant find ANY of my photos, videos or music. At no point did i forget to untick internal memory.
WHAT CAN I DO??
(kinda Newb to this whole flashing and rooting thing, apologies)

Is because with the update you loose bootloader commands ( fastboot)
So, you need to root, after root install Rashr from Google play, with Rashr you can flash twrp, with twrp you can flash aboot.img from 5.0.2 version with a flash zip then you recover bootloader commands like this.

What he's saying is that without fastboot the only way you can flash a ROM is through TWRP. You need to root and then install TWRP, and then install the ROM. Also, if you're doing any kind of reflashing; to do so without a custom recovery is risky at best.

Yes, the TWRP steps are described for Idol 4, but the process works perfectly fine for 6045. That thread is a compilation of steps from few other threads that are linked from there; some may not be specifically for our model, but they work. Just read carefully and make sure you understand. It's quite normal on XDA, when you find some info from another device's forum, and adapt it to your device. Like I said, I did this myself on 6045I at least 3-4 times, while fooling around with the phone after I got it.

You can't use Sahara & Firehose for flashing the ROM. It will only let you to flash the recovery (TWRP).
You have to understand that you need to go through several steps here...
1. Your goal is to downgrade to 5.x. You can't flash a 5.x official stock ROM, because the only way to flash stock is to use Mobile Upgrade Q, and you already got an update to 6.0 for your phone. Your only choice is to find a 5.x ROM that can be flashed from TWRP.
2. So, you need to install TWRP. I recommended using Sahara & Firehose, because this method works for me every time with no problems. I pointed you to the thread with ALL the information you need. If it doesn't work for you, I don't know why. Maybe you don't have the proper drivers installed? You need the drivers before you try doing anything with your phone from your PC. Maybe you have a bad USB cable or port? Maybe something else? I have no idea... I simply told you what works for me 100%.
3. There may be another way, if you somehow root you phone first, then flash TWRP using Rashr, for example. But I don't know how to root it. I only rooted it by flashing SuperSU, after I already had TWRP installed, so I can't help you with this...
Most importantly, you need to understand what you are doing, why you need to do specific steps, and the purpose of all the tools you use...
