[HUGE BUG] Partitions disappeared!

Hello everyone. Wanted to share an experience with my OPO,.
Today i rebooted the phone, and when it booted up it presented me the first configuration wizard. I thought, "ok this is strange" but after i completed again the configuration everything was still there.
Tonight I tried to install the XNPH33R update via TWRP, i loaded the file into the sdcard and rebooted into TWRP.
I thought "let's make a nandroid before, in case of problems", and i saw it could not mount the /system partition. The backup failed and then i tried to reboot. The phone does now not start and when i try to boot into TWRP, it reports that now ALL the partitions are borked and can't be mounted, reporting them 0MB, except for the boot one.
My question is, am i the only one that experienced something similar?!
I'm goin on to flash factory image but this seems a big problem!

Little hint: try to install another recovery (e.g. CWM, Philz...) before returning to stock

I doubt OnePlus (or any other mfg) would count this sort of thing a bug if your phone is running anything other than 100% stock.

Obviously i don't want to report a "bug" that i want oneplus to fix
I just wanted to know what happened, my partitions corrupted themselves by... rebooting?
since i saw that many users reported being stuck at the oneplus logo after updating to XNPH33R i wanted to know if this is related to their experience :silly:

Sorry wrong thread
Sent from E.P.D.Center

I had the same weird problem last night.....
Except my recovery was also reverted to stock.
it happened after i got notifed about an update available couple days in a row which i canceled.
I even have Droidwall and everything but a few apps are blocked from data usage.
What i would suggest is to freeze the ""system update" system app.
I kinda have a feeling the OTA updates have something to do with it.
This happend to me 1 other time a while back with an HTC One X device. Same pattern, System update notifications then couple days of ignoring .... then pooffff...

[Q] com.androidsystemui crash. Issue appears on clean install and different roms

I have had my phone a month and its been working flawlessly. I've installed a few custom roms on it and I'm comfortable with all the technical side from years of doing this.
What happened is my phone had a random shutdown and on reboot there was a com.androidsystemui error. No problem I thought, so I wiped the phone and restored a backup of the same rom (latest Heisenberg which has been very stable for me) same issue. OK maybe its rom related. So I did a clean install of Slimkat which I have found v stable. Instant reboot on setup. After trying this a few times I took the nuclear option and wiped by entire phone including storage and went through all this again using otg. Same problems.
I can only think its recovery or sim card related? any ideas?

btw I have tried fixing permissions and repairing file system in recovery. Thanks in advance!

What recovery are you using? I would consider trying out Philz touch recovery, not sure it will fix it, but its worth a shot anyways.

I have exactly the same bug, with my one (the one with these problems is for a friend) i once had this too, i thougt flashing every image file from stock image has fixed it ill try it in some hours.
BTW i use TWRP v 2.7.1.1 or 2.8.0.1 but this lsat one dont works with multirom for now

I managed to fix it! I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...fs-corrupt-t2879061/post55531560#post55531560

Thank you very much

Read the full thread. Possibly a latest twrp issue.

No mobile data after flash. Nothing will bring it back

>> Partial solution was found; still looking for the root of the problem. <<
I recently decided to take the plunge and root my OnePlus One and install sultanXDA's CM 13 ROM on it. It was all going well until I booted up into the ROM and discovered that I couldn't get any mobile data. Everything else was working, calling, texting, wifi, but mobile data seemed to refuse to work. Since I initially flashed sultan's ROM with TWRP 3.0.0, I suspected it was a problem with my modem. Though unable to install TWRP 2.8.6.0 to re-flash everything, I did still flash a new modem via ADB. This didn't help.
I have tried many things to fix this. I rebooted/reflashed. I flashed different ROMs. I tried flashing on TWRP 2.8.6.1, though I believe that one has the same modem problem as the versions after it. As mentioned above I tried flashing a modem over ADB. I took out and re inserted my SIM card. In the end, I tried this guide here to restore my phone to it's original state. The guide flashes the stock versions of everything via ADB. Though it did return me to unrooted COS 12.1, it was not able to resolve my data problem.
After the total reset, all I can think that could be causing it is a hardware problem or that it is caused by something not reset in the 100% restore above.
If any of y'all can help my solve this, or at least offer insight, I would be very grateful.
Preemptive Edit I Guess: This thread was just suggested to me while writing this. I'm going to try the solution here and report back. It's OnePlus' reset to stock method. I'm not expecting much after my first 100% reset attempt, but we'll see.
EDIT: Ok, so the solution above fixed my problem... (edit again: turned out to only be a partial solution. See below.)
I would feel really dumb right now if it weren't for the fact that I slaved over this problem for a good ~8 hours before writing this post. Anyways, I'm not sure how to delete this post or mark it as solved. Sorry for the trouble y'all.

Never delete this post !!
I have the same problem, and I spent much more time to find a solution.
I will try this and will update.
Is it a clean stock rom?
Edit:
Didn't help for me ..
Still the same problem, No mobile internet connection.
Thx anyway.

Yeah, actually I was too hasty is identifying this as the solution. For me, the stock reset brought me back to CM 11 which didn't have a problem with mobile data. But if I try to flash a later ROM or update via OTA, the problem returns. I'm still trying to figure out what is causing it. The only information I can find points to it being a modem problem or APN problem, but I'm sure I have sufficiently checked both of those already.
Either way, I'll keep looking. If I find something I'll return here with it. Good luck

I gave this a try, but booting up after step 3 I still had the same problem. If I understand this method correctly, I think it is essentially the same as the other full restore methods I tried.
I think I may have found the problem though. I was looking at OnePlus' guide to installing OxygenOS. In it they said, "do not try to flash this build through TWRP. You will most likely lose your radio and IMEI which means a trip to our customer support." At this point I have repeatedly reset/restored my modem/radio so I don't think that is the problem, but I haven't seen anything about IMEI before. The IMEI is apparently stored in the EFS partition which as far as I can tell, is not touched by any of the restore methods I have tried. I took a look at my IMEI (about phone -> status) and it turns out my IMEI SV is 00. It's supposed to be a 16 digit number. I found a guide to fixing it, but I think I will just contact OnePlus customer support first.
I'll be back later with my results.

Are you flashing each of the extracted .img files from fastboot, exactly like the guide shows, or are you doing something else?

Yep, I ran each command listed in the guide and my phone was definitely in fastboot. Each command had a collections of "OKAY"s and ended with a "finished", which I assume means it executed as expected.

I have tried 2 different sim cards in my OPO (of two different companies, one of them as mine), and mobile data worked perfectly. Is it possible that my phone is ok and the problem happened in the sim card?
AND... my IMEI SV is 00 too. please update here if it has a connection.
Thank you !

I'm not entirely sure what you're saying. Did it not work with the first SIM card, but it worked with the second?

Mobile data problem was occured (to me), after I rooted my OPO and tried to flash a new rom.
I still can't understand how it convinced my sim card, but the fact is that I tried two (to be sure) other sim cards which are not mine, and mobile data worked well.
When I returned my original sim card, problem started again.
So I am almost sure that sim card has a connection, but can't understand why. And why it happend precisely now, cause it worked well over two years.

Why don't you flash twrp flashable modem?
If your network is present but no data , mostly data service problem. Are you pay your mobile bills ?
Are you activate data services ?

...yes i paid my bills ..
- my network connection to provider is dead...it worked perfecly for 1 month out of the box (see original posting for detailed action i took) this thread is about lack of data connection...but also MODEM related???
- tried the brand new simcard in my old Samsung sII... works perfetly, network connection with provider, data connection and calling..so no simcard problem

Long shot. Change any APN settings from IPv6 to IPv4. That was my problem when I had text/voice but no data.

I made a post on this and then called att gophone, due to seeing other sims working on this thread, and he helped me to fix. Posting my fix here in case others with isue find this post instead of mine.
Turned off wifi.
Turned off cellular data.
Went to APN and changed the apn (ATT Go Phone) from pta to nxtgenphone.
Turned on cellular data.
Finally had H+ above he signal bar, but had an X inside the bar.
Don't know if he did anything on his end, but the X went away after a couple of minutes.
Data was working, albeit kinda slow.
Turned off phone for three minutes per ATT rep.
Rebooted.
Data still slow, but it is at least working. Thinking I need to flash different modem. Battery usage has been higher the last day or two since I flashed c7 anyways.

oneplus6 seems damaged following a failed twrp restore

So here is situation.
Phone been running 8.x version of havocos for months, however I was never fully happy due to broken usb tethering and random lockups (blue light freeze).
I decided to work on the phone 2-3 days ago, this involved doing a manual backup of all of data/media, and a nandroid backup. As well as some exports of configs in tasker etc.
I then flashed OOS stock, and nolimits, discovered tethering was still broken (yet it works with same sim in samsung galaxy s7 and hauwei).
This was the only issue tho, everything else was functioning as expected, phone was still fast.
Then I needed quick access to something that was on my phone from havocos, so decided to do a nandroid restore, this nandroid backup had all partitions ticked. The restore I also had all ticked.
The restore failed with an error 255 during data restore, I googled and found out is a nasty known bug for 2 years on TWRP, this backup was done on 3.2.3, I know now is a newer 3.3.x where this particular bug with corrupt backups might possibly be fixed.
I decided to try and boot havoc anyway but it boot looped, so I then went back into TWRP, and restored the vendor partition which was skipped. As it stopped on data, still boot looped, but also now this created a device is corrupt error on every rom boot even on stock OOS.
I spent ages trying to fix this error and during the process, discovered my phone no longer can be detected in flash boot as a com device in windows so currently the phone cannot be used with the MSM tool.
Eventually I reflashed stock using a flash-all script from here, and also put back on twrp using that script, and noticed even more issues that were not there before.
1 - phone is now much slower, stock before booted in one second after first boot, now its way way slower. Over 10 seconds so 10x as slow.
2 - I think before was a cache partition but is now gone. Supposedly these arent a thing anymore tho.
3 - nolimits zip will no longer flash with an error 1, I did exact same process as before but simply doesnt work now, the twrp detailed log right before the error 1 says "Please install the latest Magisk!" which suggests its failing to detect magisk.
4 - camera app is way slower, and OOS feels slower, laggier in general than before the problem.
5 - MTP no longer works when phone is booted up, again this is stock OOS and even if phone isnt rooted no magisk etc. But still works in TWRP. Basically the device pops up, I can see internal storage, but the size information is missing, and is no visible files/folders.
From what I can see I think my EFS is fine, I see an imei number.
I did fix the corrupted device error using a reboot command someone posted in that thread, so that error is gone now at least.

Try to flash oxygen os beta version from the official download links, let it install the stock recovery, then boot into rom, finish the installation progress by just skipping it and then factory reset it twice from recovery mode.
after doing that and finishing the setup , try to take picture and see if its saves it to gallery ( if the picture delete it self try to factory reset it through recovery for 1 more time)

I think you have figured out whats wrong, it just clicked, and I went to post and found your post so sorry no reply yet.
Indeed the problem seems to be a lack of /data/media/0
I have multiple times wiped data, and twrp has been putting files directly in /data/media, I just discovered I Cannot even take screenshots, magisk cannot download modules as well.
So I guess the stock recovery creates this structure?
Pretty shocking that twrp doesnt fix this or even have an option to. I will report back and let you know how things go, thanks.

Issue still there after stock recovery reset, wow these phones are damn hard to work with.
Also it seemed to do nothing, no settings were lost etc.

So basically stock recovery even if I choose full wipe does nothing, there seems to be some kind of lock on the internal storage that anything made by one plus is refusing to write.
I wonder if this is due to the device is corrupt message I had before where it said the device can no longer be trusted.
I can confirm that files that are on there are now visible in file manager and root explorer. But file manager can do no writes. root explorer can create new stuff but cannot delete or overwrite anything there, gets access denied.

I propose to start over again following this guide, option flash-all-partitions.bat. Helped for me.

I already stated thats already been done.
I eventually got msm working. and that luckily worked.

@chrcol ..., but you've issues

In recovery, format data. Problem fixed. Wipe will never fix your problem but format will.

SIM Card stopped working

I don't know, but I tried to install AEX as soon as I unlocked bootloader, and I wasn't successful after that. Also wasn't successful with that method for some freaking reason, I think 20 minutes of waiting at first boot should be more than enough.
1. Turned USB debugging on
2. Took out the whole SIM/microSD tray
3. flashed RETUS using erase bat and rebooted to bootloader
4. I booted the wrong twrp image (unofficial) but rebooted to bootloader right after and booted on normal one, formatting System, Data, Cache and Internal Storage and using Format Data option
5. Flashed copy-partitions-AB.zip using sideload and rebooted to bootloader to come back in
6. Wiped System, Data, Cache and Internal Storage, went to bootloader to fastboot erase userdata and booted back to TWRP
7. Flashed ROM and TWRP-installer in this order using sideload
8. Wiped System, Data, Cache and Internal Storage, went to bootloader to fastboot erase userdata and booted back to TWRP
9. Flashed Magisk also using sideload
10. Changed to SLOT B and rebooted to system while the tray was still out
It's since been 20 minutes and 1 restart (only after the 20 minutes to see if it'd change anything)
For some freakish reason I followed #138's instructions to a T and it worked, booted in around 4 minutes (Though I also did it with SIM tray off, and after rebooting to install Gapps and Magisk it booted in less than a minute, looking great for this ROM)
EDIT: It couldn't recognize SIM for some reason, so I'll try reflashing without Gapps or something. Also didn't work, will try my brother's SIM tomorrow (Also the home button doesn't quite work? At least without gapps, for some reason) and the borders are messy, clock and battery circle are way too much to the side. Notifications don't work too, and I don't quite have a Quick Settings. (If it changes anything I was RETBR before)
Apparently my SIM died, yeah... Also doesn't work on stock Or not since it still works on other phones, but I can't get SIM cards to work, at least on stock... (This is also from RETBR img, so that wasn't the problem)

So yeah, after many tries of installing Custom ROM my device doesn't recognize SIM cards anymore... It can still recognize microSD and they still work on other phones, I have no idea if this is a software or hardware problem (They worked every time I had to go back to stock while doing it, up until my last successful attempt at installing CrDroid official by @Rondeau79, sry for the tag)
EDIT: I only saw this thread afterwards, but unless I'm dumb it didn't work
(Already tested both slots after running those commands, none of them works)

Take sim out then factory reset then put sim back in reboot phone. worked for me.

After the whole custom ROM fiasco I went back to stock, and if reflashing stock on fastboot works I did that many times with the SIM on another phone, still nothing

Okay, maybe this is some insight. I can't check any IMEIs on it at all, though on my old phone I can even check IMEI2 when I only have one card. If it was a number ban it shouldn't work on my G5 with Custom ROM, but on the other hand if it was an IMEI ban it should still work on a fully stock G7 Play I have. And there's "Baseband: (not found)" on fastboot. Any way I can fix IMEI or something?
EDIT: If I run fastboot getvar all I can still see IMEI though, so maybe they just changed it on newer phones ;-;
