Substratum and firmware updating - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi folks,
Is there a zip or something that we can flash to save substratum from causing issues when we are flashing latest upgrade firmware in TWRP?
I seen it in a thread, but can't for the life of me find it.
Thanks

Oxygen OS 2.1.4 Downgrade?

Has anyone around here flashed OOS 2.1.4 using the recommended method and then flashed a different rom, Im tired of using OOS but i cant seem to find a way to flash CM13 again.
Just flash cm13 in a version of twrp with working firmware flashing. The firmware is included in official cm13 builds.
install TWRP again, and download and flash cm13?
Yes, as long as it's an offical build and you have a version of twrp that supports firmware flashing, like 2.8.6.0 or 3.0.0-1, it will flash everything it needs. If you flash something like sultans bulids flash offical cyanogenmod first then flash the modded build.
Hello!
First of all I'm sorry I'm late to the party ?.
I bought my OPO yesterday and I'm a newbie with all the flashing and so on. It happens to run Oxygen OS 2.1.4 as well and I was wondering if anyone could give me (a link to?) a tutorial to flash a new recovery and everything? I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance

After this,you should be considering this one as OOs 2.1.4 is pretty outdated: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541#login
lineageos has a good tutorial on flashing

If you want to switch to a completely different ROM, you will have to do the wipes in recovery then flash the new ROM. If you want to flash an update of the same ROM you have then you don't need the wipes, you can just flash the update without wiping, this is called "dirty flashing". Dirty flash usually only works when flashing an update of the same ROM that you have.

What do you mean the latest CM14.1 update?
NitrogenOS and CM 14.1 ARE BOTH custom ROMs, they are NOT firmwares. Some devices were manufactured and sold with CyanogenMod as the stock firmware but CM is still predominately a custom android operating system.
And, as I said, if the update is an update to the exact same ROM as what is already installed, then all you have to do is flash it without doing any kind of wipes(this can even be done when updating stock via OTA, it's actually recommended to not do the wipes when updating stock via OTA). For example, if you have CM13 and want to update to CM14, or if you have CM14 and want to update to CM14.1 or if you have CM14.1 but want to flash a newer CM14.1 update, understand yet?
BUT!!!!
If you have some other ROM(something other than a version CM) currently installed but want to update to CM instead of what you have then you would have to factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing.
Let's make this simple since you can't seem to make sense of what I'm telling you. Tell me what you currently have installed and what you want to update to.

Hello,

You have nitrogen OS installed on your android and if you want to install update of nitrogen OS then no need of wiping.
If you want to change to different rom ( nitrogenOS to CM) then you need to first wiping/factory resetting or clearing dalvik and cache.
So, you are changing your rom then wipe/factory reset first and then flash CM. That what @Droidriven trying to say you.
Again you are confused. ROMs like Nitrogen runs on CM firmware ( or you can call it architecture). It's not the OS again, It regarding firmware. please someone help me on this I dont want my phone to get bootlooped or any other sort of issue. FYI : I don't want CM ROM/OS. I want Nitrogen itself but want to upgrade to the latest firmware. Please check the link i had provide before replying

This is making sense now. You see, you are the one confused. You aren't asking the right question because you don't understand the difference.
You aren't looking for the "CM firmware", this does not even exist. This implies that the firmware was created by CM. It wasn't made by CM, it does not contain CM in it so it can't be called "CM FIRMWARE", it's a STOCK FIRMWARE that is COMPATIBLE with USING CM and other custom ROMs.
What you are looking for is the "stock firmware" that needs to be on your device BEFORE using CM13/14/14.1/AOSP Nougat ROMs.
The thread that you linked basically explains that if you want to use any kind of custom 7.0/7.1/7.1.1 Nougat ROMS then you need to flash this updated STOCK FIRMWARE in order for the device to be able to use those custom ROMs. It is not "CM FIRMWARE"
You're looking for the STOCK FIRMWARE that is compatible with CM and other nougat ROMs.
The thread that you linked explains what you need to know and how to do it, it says that you flash the updated firmware via TWRP and factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik when you flash it.
If you are looking for a newer update than the one in that thread then you'll have to find it in a TWRP flashable .zip. If there is not a TWRP flashable zip to apply the new update then the only way to flash the new update is to flash it via PC then root the device again, install TWRP again and then flash your NitrogenOS ROM again.

I just explained what you needed to do, did you read it? It is simple, are you even reading the thread that you linked? What you are asking is irrelevant, just do what it says to do in the steps below.
1) Boot to TWRP
2) Flash the updated firmware via TWRP
3) Factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik
4) Flash NitrogenOS
5)reboot, enjoy.

Cannot update Lineage: Error 7

Hi all!
I was trying to upgrade my Linage to one of the latest builds and I got the Error 7, assert failed when checking the modem timestamp.
I was reading here and the proposed solution is to install an official MIUI ROM, to get the firmware upgraded, and then reinstall Lineage, but I also read that it is possible to flash only the radio from TWRP, keeping my away from wiping my mobile.
Is it really possible? Where are the links? I tried myself to find out the way to download and flash only the radio firmware but I didn't find anything.
Thank you in advance!

Thanks a lot!
Is it recommended to flash any other firmware part? I read something about that on Reddit, people recommending to flash the entire MIUI ROM only to get those parts too...

S10e with Magisk installed, can I now update ota or flash updated rom ap via odin?

Hi,
I can’t seem to find a post about an S10e. My apologies if one already exists.
I have a g970F with unlocked bootloader, stock rom and magisk installed. Can I now update as I am having trouble installing unsigned apks over the top of original apks.
Thanks.
Hello, once the original firmware is altered, you cannot install OTA updates, only through Odin.

Many thanks for the advice. I will attempt to locate an updated ASBA version as I’m currently using a security patch from February.
