[Q] Flashing a ROM from the PC - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a strange problem with my One running CM12. The bottom 1/4 of the screen is not detecting touch. so I can't use the navigation buttons or a little above it. Nothing has happened physically to the phone so I was thinking (hoping) it was a software issue. I figured it's the perfect time to put Oxygen on it but when I boot into TWRP I still can't access the bottom of the screen to swipe the flash (hoping that it's software diminishes).
As a last ditch effort I wanted to flash it from the PC but I can't find any tutorials that take me step by step. I copied the ROM over to the device (no SD card) and can boot into Fastboot mode but I'm not sure how to flash the image.

The only way to flash Oxygen from PC would be to adb sideload it, but that requires touch control in the section of the screen that isn't working. Your best bet is to actually flash the stock images with fastboot, not only does that not require any touch control on the phone, but it'll being the phone back to a factory state which is the best method to see if it's software/firmware or hardware. I have instructions in section 8 of my guide here:

Thank you! That's the type of help I needed. One question. I download cm-11.0-XNPH38R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip and that contains a file called boot.img. Do I only unzip that file or all the files in the zip?

Just unzip cm-11.0-XNPH38R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip into the folder where you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe. It should contain way more files than just boot.img though. And is it that particular build that you're wanting? That one has been replaced by the 44S and 05Q builds now.

Yup, you were right. I downloaded 05Q and flashed it and got to the setup screen. Unfortunately I can't click "Next" because that area is still unresponsive. So much for it being software.
Thanks again for all your help, though. It's exactly what I wanted to do.

No worries, that's a shame that it's a hardware issue though. Time to start the dreaded OnePlus RMA process.

You need root access to backup your EFS partition, there's no way around that unfortunately.
Flashing gapps isn't exactly the same as flashing a ROM. Flashing a ROM flashes an entire operating system, whereas a gapps package contains only Google apps and services. A gapps package is completely necessary if you want to use the Play Store, or have a Google account attached to your phone.
Transmitted via Bacon
After installing the drivers you have to restart your computer and replug the phone in. Your phone should be in Android os before you go to fastboot. Android debugging should also be disabled.
You could have just posted in the thread previously instead of creating a new thread.

It's up to you, if you click install you will have root on the stock ROM, if you don't install then your stock ROM will remain unrooted. As for the question about the ROMs, only you can answer that. Everyone has different tastes and needs from their ROM so opinions vary wildly. Check out the features and flash one, if you like it then keep it, if you don't like it then flash another one.

[RESOLVED] HELP.. Boot Loop With TWRP and L install

Hi
Earlier I installed TWRP via Philz and that worked fine.
I then reset my phone and flashed Bigxie's Android L, again this worked fine.
I flashed the new radio for the same thread and that worked fine.
I then downloaded CF-Root from here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/363/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead-hammerhead-nexus5.zip
Ran the Windows Batch file all seemed to go well. Bootloader was unlocked and the big red android appears on screen.
Phone booted back to TWRP, a script ran and then my phone started constantly booting the the TWRP screen.
All I'm getting is teamwin flashing up.
If I power off it goes back to this loop.
Any way I can get this working again ?
Not worried about any data.. I've got all I need backed up.
Thanks

dont use root toolkits.
flash the factory img via fastboot. then flash twrp again, flash a kernel that allows root, then flash the latest supersu.
Thanks for the reply.
Just want to claify to make sure I don't make it worse..
I've got the L image from Googles site, do I extract the factory.img from that ?
Then flash it using :
fastboot flash factory factory.img
Thanks
Think I may have made things worse..
I extracted the tgz file and while browsing double clicked the flash all batch file.
:silly: Not sure how the hell I clicked it twice.. but it's doing something.. .hopefully not killing my phone.
Any suggestions how I did myself out of this hole..

i dont think hitting it twice will do anything. but you might have to flash the img files separate, as in the flash-all is giving some ppl issues.

Found out how I've managed to double click.. The trackpad on my laptop is playing up.
I'll have to remember to use a USB mouse with it.

I'll start a new thread with a couple of follow up questions.

When doing this, is there any specific order to follow when flashing all the .img files separately? I am also getting errors stating recovery.sig and boot.sig are missing. Does installing separate also take care of this?

it appears that the flash-all is having issues and skipping. so by flashing them all individually, you will make sure to flash them all.

OPO Issues on 44s

I recently tried a custom ColorOS Rom off here and then flashed a CM 44s backup through TWRP as I didn't like the custom ROM.
However I know have a few issues on 44s
1. Custom gestures no longer work
2. When I call anyone the screen turns off and I cant access the the dialpad, , etc
Does it sound like some settings are probably borked? I think I may need a stock 44s flash and possibly Kernel? I'm not sure.

I'm shure you will find some people here with better knowledge than me on the matter.
But i would advice a full wipe before installing a different rom, just to avoid conflicts.
But first and as you have TWRP installed i would suggest using it to make a backup, save it to your PC and then a full wipe (everything but internal storage).
I would go for a fastboot install of stock cm11s 44s, just to ensure everything stays as stock again.
I suggest you get an full 38R rom and install this one clean. I do only read annoying stuff about 44S and I will not install it. My battery life is perfect for me with 38R and this should not be ruined
Sent from my O+O
I experienced this first hand ColorOS flashes the ColorOS partitions etc. You'll need to perform a full flash of the stock ROM via fastboot to flash all the CM11S partitions and such then it works a treat.

Ok I am getting an error.
I have downloaded 33r and extraced folder into the android-sdk on my desktop. Bootloader is unlocked and phone rooted.
I boot into fastboot and navigate to the Cm11 33r folder and try to run the flash-all.bat command and I get
"fastboot is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
I first use this guide to start.
If i understand well, i think you extract your rom to the wrong folder it should be extract to /android-sdk-windows/platform-tools/ extract the rom zip content, not the entire folder, if you do it right you should have all your rom files on same place that fastboot.
You don't need to extract to the SDK folder, I usually extract the full image and just copy the adb.exe and dlls and fastboot into the folder, then control shift right click open a new command window here. I recommend you download the image from the cyngn site extract and flash each item separately.

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?

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

Please help me! Cant install any ROM on my OnePlus!

Hi Everyone!
Because of having issues i can´t fix on my OnePlus, i´m finally asking for some professional help here, as it´s getting more and more complicated and i don´t want to ruin my phone.
What was my plan?
Installing CM11S 44S on my OPO, which had the 05Q Version as factory setting.
Also i wanted to install a franco kernel.
I hoped, if i do both steps successfully, my OPO will have a good battery life (44S seemed to be the most efficient version, according to some forums).
What did i do so far?
First i set up an adb backup for my data, but not for the OS. However, i installed SDK plus tools and drivers.
Next step was installing a new recovery, which is able to flash a new version of CM11S, so i set up TWRP with fastboot, which means my device is "unlocked" now.
Everything worked well so far, i also made an backup in TWRP.
The problem:
I wanted to reboot my OPO at some point and TWRP asked me for rooting my device. Accidentally i swiped over so it started rooting process, but i didn´t want to root it, so i immediately shut the device down.
By now TWRP recovery/fastboot is working, but my OS 05Q is lost and i can´t install a new ROM because im getting the Report:
--
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check; no MD5 file found
Error flashing zip /<path to .zip file>
--
Can anyone help me to get 05Q back or the 44S with the franco kernel?
I know there might be some other threads that deal with similar problems, but actually none of them helped me so far. For example: do i need a fastboot image or signed flashable zips (which i have)? In which order do i install the kernel and the ROM?
Some Information:
I can access my device via fastboot and my OPO is also shown as a adb device on my MAC.
When starting in TWRP, i can also access the device in USB Mode, transfering files is also possible.
I´m not really competent with android modding or programming, so i will need some noob-friendly answers, but i bet you guys know how to help me out here.
Thank you very much for your help, i really don´t know what to do anymore.
EDIT:
I found out how to place a md5 file to the referring version, but it still sais: MD5 does not match.
I´m so done with it right now that i wish i had my OPO back as it was few days ago.
Well, i cant really help here as i have not face this problem but ur mistake was that u Immediately shut the device down the moment it was installing root. It may have corrupted the partitions of the phone and left it at that state, so maybe restoring the partitions of that section may help. Like i said im not knowledgeable about this
Agreed, you shouldn't have shut down the phone while it was modifying a partition. The root wouldn't have mattered anyway because you were about to overwrite the system partition by flashing a ROM. Go to my guide thread and look at section 8 to flash the stock images for the build you desire:
