how to get back to stock??? - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

I am trying to get my OP 7 Pro back to factory settings and was wondering will a factory reset do that ? I experimented with some kernels, different adb commands and my phone is acting up. I have magisk and TWRP installed and what would be the best way to go back to factory settings? I changed some system settings so I need to reset those to stock also.
My apps are working fine, should i back them up using TB and restore them or is it best to install them all from scratch ?

Search for fastboot flashable oos and run flash all.bat. You will have to flash in the bootloader mode.

No. Factory reset is a misnomer. All it does is wipe user data. The operating system remains the same (in your case modified). Only useful in cases where user data (such as an app) is causing problems.
I suppose in theory, at some point, there may have been a stock OS on one of the A/B partition slots. But depending on what you've subsequently flashing, that may not be the case anymore.

I agree with the previous post, to use the fastboot stock ROM.
General suggestion: For every new device I get, I consider it best practice to know how to restore to stock before messing with unlocking the bootloader, root, and other mods. And have the required files ready to go, for that matter.
It used to be, that I never did any phone mods without first making a TWRP backup of the stock ROM (which I can restore if anything went wrong). But it's so easy to flash stock images on OnePlus devices, I've mostly moved away from that thinking (as have others I've seen post to that effect).

Restore apps and app data using TB is what I usually do.

Fastboot rom will take u back to complete stock, unroot, and puts back stock recovery. the only thing that sticks is unlocked bootloader

Flashing this stock boot ROM will also remove TWRP, you'll get stock OnePlus recovery.

[Q] 4.3 Update + TWRP

So I have TWRP installed on my rooted Galaxy S3 (I535), and the 4.3 update just came out and was available to me.
I downloaded it, and tried to install it (I know that it will remove root), and when it finished downloading, it opened the TWRP boot menu.
Does anyone else who uses TWRP know how to install the new update? I couldn't find it and it wouldn't automatically install....

Find the. Stock recovery download it and flash through Odin. there are ways to do it through terminal but odin is the fastest to explain. After that you should beable to ota and keep your setup as is. It is odd that you cant ota I had twrp when i took the ota.

Well it just directs me to TWRP, and I have no idea where to go from there. I don't care about ever having TWRP again and I don't care about having a locked bootstrap, as I only need stock with root.

You kind of only have 2 options now. Attempt a "dirty" flash of a ROM so you can save your internal SD files then odin or do the full Odin wipe and forget about keeping the files. Either way unless anyone else has a idea you lose your current setup.

So let me get this straight.
There's no way for me to install the update unless I flash to another ROM? I don't see why I can;t just update and lose odin and TWRP or whatever

I found the zip file while browsing TWRP. Can I just install it?

OK I'll explain what I think went bad.when you downloaded the update it was expecting factory stock recovery to finish the install. Since you had twrp it failed. FYI Odin is a program on the PC to communicate with the phone in download mode (Odin mode). try to do a factory reset before you go crazy with my other suggestions. I have a feeling one of the 3 options I gave you are your only options.

Yeah but you already soft bricked it. Any brick you do you should be able to fix. just so you know you backed yourself into a corner. No matter what you do you have a chance of bricking. Its all part of being a power user. If your uncomfortable with that after you are on 4.3 you might not want to root.

Yeah I know there's always the chance of bricking, just wanted to know if that specific thing would do it. I've been into rooting since my Droid 1, Droid 2, and Droid X. But I'm always cautious.
If I do a factory reset and back up all my data, will it get rid of odin and TWRP and everything? Then just install the 4.3 update and root using safe root? Would that work?

You would need to flash stock recovery completely replacing twrp. so if factory reset works and you can boot you should beable to flash stock recovery then redo the ota.

If you have backups of stuff on your internal sd it would be much faster to just Odin to 4.3 right now.

Factory reset deals with the rom. So no it will stay twrp.
---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------
Using Odin is a lot like SBF'ing on the droid x (that was my last phone also). So if you can remember installing cyanogen mod 6 or 7 you probably always did a factory reset before first boot. Custom recovery stays intact the only way to get rid of it was to flash stock recovery with terminal emulator or sbf back to pure stock. Luckily Odin let's us flash the recover by its self so we have more options with Samsung.

How to uninstall twrp?

It's an lg g3 on lollipop. Basically I want to remove all root and custom recovery from my phone.By I don t want to lose all settings and data and hours of configuring the phone the way I like it. So don't tell me how to flash stock Rom back on phone. I know that. I want to remove twrp without messing anything up on phone. Is this possible.
Are you not able to reflash a stock bootloader. You can then unroot by using SuperSU in its settings page.
Hope this helps a little.

Does reflashing the boot loader reset and erase phone? If not how do I do it in detail please. I already unrooted super su. But still stuck with twrp.
Flashing a recovery doesn't wipe the phone. Just like if you flash cwm over twrp for example, your phone wouldn't wipe it'd just boot to cwm recovery instead of twrp. You'll need to search for your phones stock one.
On the Galaxy Note 4 I would flash a PDA file with the bootloader CSC etc that's all Stock. It would be a tar file and I would flash this using Odin. I believe this is only on Samsung though. Not sure how it is done for LG but I can imagine it's similar. You could attempt to flash everything stock using your computer I believe but I am not sure as this only applies to Samsung devices. But you get the idea, perhaps a Google search can further help you though! Hope this helped √

I'll have a look, but can't promise anything as I use an S4. I flash stock recovery via Odin on the PC or custom via cwm or twrp.

I can only find stock firmware. Unfortunately this will wipe your phone if you flash it.
Is there no one who can advise you in the lg parts of these forums.
Here's the link to the stock firmware. Careful you pick the right one.

I know about that but I need the recovery so I don't erase phone
Yeah I know it'll wipe it. Just thought in case you decided to fresh install. It doesn't take that long really to set back up even if you do go down that route.

You do a backup with Flashfire.
If you "brick" then just boot up in Download mode, flash the appropriate firmware, let it boot, go back to download mode, flash the engineering kernel again, re-root, re-install Flashfire then restore your backup. Pretty easy. Not as simple as having a recovery though. It's just pretty time consuming but I've done it dozens of times.

Thanks for the reply, but bear with me a bit I'm a bit confused coming from only using TWRP. I have flash fire installed lets say I do the backup and I'm bricked for whatever reason the phone does not boot up properly the next step would be to get in download mode flash the firmware via Odin I assume? * I don't really understand the flash the engineering Kernel part here what does that actually entail? omitting that step lets say I do boot up normally. At this stage I'm pretty much stock and would root again download flash fire and somehow my backup would be preserved there and can just flash that back up?
Again excuse my ignorance , and thanks for replying

That site is full of crap articles they steal from elsewhere and change a few lines of the articles. Take a lot of what they claim with a grain of salt.
The article you listed is meant for the Chinese 930 and 935, attempting it on an American 930/935 will result in a soft brick and loss of data.
I am on mobile, or I would link the original post from here on XDA stupdroid stole, stating clearly you cannot load it onto an American phone.

Flashfire is on the play store

[ROM] MCG24.251-5 100% Stock

Flash using TWRP. This will flash all files in the MCG24.251-5 update except for recovery.
New features in this update that I've noticed:
-Marshmallow, aged to perfection in Verizon's own servers. Only one major release version obsolete, and with outdated security patches!
-WiFi calling (woooooo! Those custom roms just got another carrier-specific, unportable feature to compete with)
-The command center widget has been replaced with the Droid Turbo 2 version
Get it here: https://mega.nz/#!G1xg1aYa!fm2hUL7hDDVaxTAj_iPbtY61P-8VrQEvoOJiVsDtdho
Here's the stock recovery image if you want it: https://mega.nz/#!r1wDQRCJ!KHbo_Q6L-WE_VyB1x8W4FbT6PrerPEyn9H1C6VUAyf8
Flashing this rom updates the bootloader to a version that can communicate with the kernel to tell SafetyNet that it is unlocked, causing it to fail. Fret not, however, as there are two options to fix this:
OPTION 1: Flash the SU4TL-49 bootloader using the following TWRP package: https://mega.nz/#!6logEaIQ!q8qPJw65Upt38Hxiu1JyxErmwbgL7CBzuGzzPC0C9pQ
OPTION 2: Flash this patch made by @bhb27: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120696423
Wipe cache and dalvik/art cache after either of these options.
NOTE that these options only fix failures due to SafetyNet checking the bootloader status. It will still fail due to root, xposed and the like. There are no known consequences or side effects to either of these options, so just pick whichever one you feel like.
If you notice weird things after you flash this rom (long boots other than the first one which is supposed to be long, random reboots, etc.) try flashing the stock recovery image and factory resetting.
If you want root, flash this version of SuperSU first, then flash whatever newer version you want: https://download.chainfire.eu/751/SuperSU/
If you have trouble flashing this, try TWRP Mod 3 instead of Mod 4.
Ouch, you have almost full flash inside archive, with bootloader too... Who is the most brave, introduce yourself ))
+ mirror
I can confirm that it works on old bootloader.
I had SULT-49 5.1 installed before and I just flashed this via TWRP. I haven't taken the OTA. It works perfectly. Thank you.
PS: My bootloader now is moto-apq8084-70.95 (2016-06-29). Do you have same version after taking OTA?
Did you have to wipe the system, data and cache first like you would with a new ROM or just dirty flash it?

I don't. I don't know how I would get it since I need root access to get it, and I can't get root access without TWRP, and I have to overwrite the stock recovery to get TWRP.

I just tried using AP a few hours ago and it failed with the screen in the article. OTA with unlocked bootloader.

Pixel rooted with Supersu, TWRPd and using EX kernel.

Was wondering if FlashFire will Auto install OTA updates?
Auto update dont work on unlocked bootloader phone
Can I download update and flash it with FlashFire? I read XDA post someone did it with Nexus and FlashFire restored stock boot and recovery installed OTA zip then restored TWRP and boot.

You can install it via TWRP or FlashFire. You will have to probably redo EX and root afterwards. But I dont bother trying to shortcut it anymore. I use flashall with the -w removed, then reapply my mods. Its clean and easy.
It appears there is a timing issue with the pixel when entering TWRP. Also with restoring backup. I'm using RC1 on stock NOF26V Supersu and have Weta audio mod with EX kernel. My device is running smooth as butter. I have a backup with RC1 and would like to try other Roms but I'm afraid to test the restore function at this time in fear of messing it up. Any advice?

It appears there is a timing issue with the pixel when entering TWRP. Also with restoring backup. I'm using RC1 on stock NOF26V Supersu and have Weta audio mod with EX kernel.

I've backed up and restored many times without any issues other than the first time when I backed up system, data and vendor. It all restored ok but it lead to huge battery drain once the phone was booted up. I'd get a bit more than 6 hours and the battery would be dead. To avoid that, backup system image, data image and vendor image. I've never had a problem with restores backing up those three.
Did you use RC1 or alpha?

OK because I watched a video on androidexplained and he said to backup and restore all partitions?
Thanks alot I'll try the image backup.
When restoring a backup with TWRP do I need to switch slots? Backup A and restore to B?

No. Just boot to TWRP and restore the backup.
Just to make sure I'm on the same page. Restore system image, vendor image and data? That's it Right?

Yes.
Am I able to relock pixel bootloader and unlock it after mods? I'm using the skipsoft tool.
Is there any way to remove or replace the pixel bootloader warning screen?

Only if it is 100 percent stock, but don't. Lots of folks have bricked themselves trying. Don't do it unless it is the last thing you are doing before sending it back for warranty.

Not now. Possibly not ever but we'll see.
Does anyone know if I can activate the skipsoft toolkit from multiple computers with the pro ultimate activation code?
I just bought a new computer but the toolkit will not activate.
