I'm stuck

Hi guys,
for some reason after I did update to KangVIP I can't get rid off it. Besides I got no wifi and bt and I was going to start over with b023 as suggested but at this point I wont bother anymore.
I did wipe the system, I did advanced wipe using twrp but no matter what I do none of the stock firmwares are going through however the Kanga one always goes through.(KangaVIP goes through only in TWRP)
twrp 2.8.7.0
wipe
advanced wipe
I select all the partitions
mkdosfs process ended with error=1
unable to wipe /usb
unknown mtp message type: 1
unable to wipe /usb
I go back, restart to fastboot, (device is saying there is no OS installed), I restore the recovery, create dload folder on my sdcard, put there 028 (actually I tried all of them already), volume+ volume - power and I get error.
What am I missing ?
Anyone can help ?
Thanks in advance.
Eric

First you did a OTA from B029 to B209?
If so you are now on a Android 6 ROM you cant go back to Android 5 without a Rollback from Huawei.

Yes I did then I wiped everything and started with b028 again.
Same thing, wifi didn't work same with BT.
Wipe again and this time I did local update and since the local update I can't go back not even b029.

Right now you are on a Android 5 or Android 6 ROM?
If you on a Android 5 ROM you can force update a Complete ROM to install a clean system and try if everything works.

I'm stuck on 6.0
I know I can do force update on 5.0 I said it above I just can't do it with 6.0 -> b029, only with your rom.

Anyone else is having this issue ?
The Kanga rom got a quite few problems no wifi and not BT, Google play services crashing (this can be fixed with gapps) my co worker just tried it with his own methods and same issue. After I went through the whole Kanga thread 60% of the posters got problems most of them are ignored.

I don't have any problems but I think the people with problems are people who have a DAV 701L.

I got DAV-703L, just simple question, why is the wifi and bt not working ?
When I get into Kanga I can remove the root or deny access to it is there a way to ditch it ?
Yeah I know it's working for you and it's not working for 10 other people including 703L owners. There is something wrong with the rom no doubt about it.

I think there was an error while flashing and without a full clean Rom flash i can't see a solution.
Before I got it to work I flashed it more than 3 times and everytime everything worked so I think don't think the ROM is that bugged.

The first rom you introduced is working "fine" I get the wifi and bt no problem but once I switch into the latest build it's gone.
Any idea where can I get full clean Rom ?
This one is a no go http://www.needrom.com/download/p8max-dav-703l/

I managed to rollback to 5.1.1 but when I try to force flash it, it says it's not compatible.

If you don't update properly to B209, when you flash any B209 rom you are going to run into issues such as the wireless Bluetooth and sim card switching for some. If you properly updated the dload method should have completed successfully. Look at the kernel and radio version of B209 in About phone and compare it to others and see if they match.

I don't want to use your rom even if you removed the Chinese it's still inside the system. Boot load times take much longer. Unexpected crashes. I did try it on 4 phones with OTA and local updates 2 are working but the Kang does crash twice a day minimum.
All what I'm asking is how to restore it to it's original settings, this was my worst mistake ever.
What I'm trying to say if I do something I do it properly just look at your thread 85% failure ratio that doesn't look like it was done properly does it ?

Really dude?? No worries, it will be the last time I do anything for the P8Max. Maybe you should just sell the phone since you're having all sorts of issues with it....or maybe you should have left it totally stock then. Or maybe read through the Mediapad X2 forums because the two phones are very similar.

Maybe IMEI blocked if stolen or contract not paid off, is it 2nd hand?

Did you try using different USB cables and USB ports?
The phone may have to be force flashed using different hardware such as an octopusbox.

is there any other solution other than the box ??
in older versions of android we had the possibility to put the radio.img and other simpler solutions .

Usually, flashing a complete stock ROM with Odin will flash everything together including the bootloader, baseband/modem, recovery, and system.
Post the Odin log as there may be something in there that can help resolve the issue.

yes it is , but am pretty sure its not stolen , bought from mobile store was almost new when i got it .

i just managed to fix my phone (in phone store lab , probably they used the box).
last time i rooted the phone and then installed "noutfan " custom rom there was no problem with IMEI , signal or software issues , exept for many bugs in firmware and gear VR made the firmware collapse .
after this i installed superstock rom (without flashing bootloader or modem) i installed kernel and everything which was in the aroma installer ( its not the first time that i flash this rom . worked fine before last time) after installation last timei lost the imei and phone signal (before fixing the phone) .
i dont know what went wrong this time ,usually i install custom roms with no problem . now i have 7.0 stock rom (after fixing the phone) and i want to install custom rom but afraid of facing the same ptoblem .
Any ideas ?? what have i done wrong when i have installed superstock last time?? why i lost imei ?? how to avoid this problem when rooting and installing the custom rom ???

Since your on bootloader version 4 (u4) you won't be able to downgrade to nougat which is why you are getting errors in Odin. When flashing firmware do you use CSC or home CSC.
Not sure if it's hardware related or not but if you are getting up to 400 - 600 hrs out of it I would say it:s software related. There are some apps on playstore for hardware test to try if you like. One issue I have had is the processor running to hot and causes me some issues to the point you can't do anything until it cools down.

i use Home CSC ... and i am sure its not the heat that cause the freezing its happen even when device cool.... This weird behavior doesnt have a constant form... most of the time the freezing happen during the first few minuts during setup device ...FORGET TO MENTION ....in TWRP recovery the device is feeling very well and run smooth without any issue at all... is there something to do now in your openion can solve this?
and if not... what samsung can do for the device to bring it life again?... thanks for your replays

I would think if it is hardware related than the issues would also happen in recovery and/or download mode. I have heard of other people having issues when flashing firmware with home CSC.
Some things I would personally try are:
1. You could try smart switch and check for latest firmware or recovery option.
2. Run in safe mode see if that makes a difference
3. In recovery wipe cache/dalvik and reboot
4. In recovery factory reset
5. Flash firmware again with CSC not home CSC.
Problems with options 1,4,5 is you will need to backup your apps and data etc. Option 5 you will have to reinstall twrp.
These options aren't in any order so I would start with 3 first see how it goes then 2 see how it goes then ,1,4 and 5 and see how it goes for each step.
Let me know how it goes

Actually steps 1,3,4,5 all have been tried before without making difference but i never tried to run in safe mode (step 2)... i should tried it.... but now i cant cause one of the freezing form and the most occuring one is when blue screen with android logo at the center that appear befor the samsung logo (trying to erasing data befor the first boot after flashing a new rom)...so i have to download a nother oreo firmware from sammobile to make it run ...sorry if i make it complicated for you but this is how my device acting very weird....
Do you think its somthing wrong with Oreo in this s8+ that can be solved when downgraded to Nougat or Upgaraded to Pie maybe?

DP3 Black Screen

I've done a lot of searching but can't seem to find anyone posting about the issue I'm having with DP3 on my 7 Pro. I'm stock on 9.5.10. the flash using local update works fine. Upon reboot, the phone will work for a few seconds, once a while it works for a couple of minutes. Then the screen goes black. If I hit the power button twice, I get a reboot dialog box. I restart and the process starts all over. I went back to 9.5.9 and everything is fine. I tried again going from 9.5.9 to DP3 after a full format. Same thing happens. I suspect the UI is stopping but it just goes black.
Anyone have any ideas?

Just wanted to chime in to say the same thing is happening to me.

You need to downgrade in twrp to 9.5.7 then update your phone to dp3 and everything will be grate. I was on dp 3 till I wanted to try out omni ROM witch is grate but there is more customization on dp3 then any ROM for this phone so go ahead and downgrade and then update to dp3. The region it will not update to dp3 is because its build number is lower then 9.5.10 ok

The challenge is downgrading. Can't install TWRP because I get the error when I try to boot it via fasboot. I can't get to the local upgrade option in settings to install the downgrade zip that OnePlus provides, and I can't fastboot an old version because I get a var error. Any suggestions?

Thanks. I tried this and while not as frequent, system UI crashes continue. When I went to bed it was fine. After 5 minutes use this AM, it started going black again. I'm going to wait for the next release before testing again.
Odd that only 2 have reported this here. If it helps, I have 2 SIMS both on Verizon Wireless.

Apparently this is a known issue. Bug has been reported to OnePlus.

stable android 11 released for op7p

why is no one discussing stable android 11 for op7p ? got my update round 3 a.m. this morning. been searching all day for a working twrp since the stable android 11 been released. no luck though......

Hi,
Today I installed the update manually and my phone keeps flashing the TWRP load-screen at boot. It's stuck now. Is that because there is no compatible TWRP version yet? How do I fix this?? Any idea?

There is no working TWRP yet for Android 11. You'll need to flash the stock boot.img or rooted boot.img from one of the threads in the news, guides section.
Edit: TWRP screen flashing is because it's incompatible. I had the same issue on the open betas.

Have the exact same issue as above, Twrp screen flashing, cannot boot back to normal even with adb... anybody has a rooted boot.img link that knows works with Android 11?
Should have checked on xda first *slaps his face*
Always check xda first *slaps his face again*
EDIT: For other poor saps with this issue use this -> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=2188818919693770594 I didnt managed to get booted with rooted img but the original boot img file worked well ... at least I got a phone now...

im on 10.3.8 and rooted..
can i just do the same old process.. twrp isnt an issue as long as may apps are safe and root..

No, its not the same process.... For me for example I couldnt get wifi to actually work on rooted image AND you lose the ability to do backups via TWRP..... Refer here for the latest on this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...p-recovery-for-oneplus-7-pro.3931322/page-153

I mean.. same steps.. that ive used so far amd retain its root.
1. Download rom via o2 updater
2. Flash it via local update
3. Install magisk to inactive slot
4. Reboot.
So if i do this.. wifi wont work??? Is that it???
Finished updating my phone..after downloading it for about 2 hours.
And im quite satisfied with the results. No problems whatsoever..

Glad for you... You probably had already removed the encryption on your mobile... from what I'm reading that is the main incompatibility issue with TWRP...
FWIW after playing around for a day, I had to revert everything Phone wifi was weird (weirder with root and all mods disabled) and system was a little unstable in some 3p apps and there seems to be some bugs with the phone screen 60/90 refresh... Gonna wait a bit to update again.

i dont mind not having TWRP for the meantime,, i just used TWRP previously for flashing CUSTOM kernels.. hehehehe.
anyways, what problem have you encountered regarding wifi?? i dont seem to experience those,, maybe because i came from stable oos 10.3.8..
what app crashed and problems have you encountered???
