"System update installation failed" while trying to install Q dp3, what did I miss?
I am currently on oxygenOS 9.0.8, both slots completely stock. I have unlocked the bootloader and enabled USB debugging.
I am trying to install Q dp3, but everytime I select Q dp3 zip file and press ok, update manager immediately says "System update installation failed" with no specific error code or any leads.
I have tried:
-Redownloading the Q dp3 file from here (https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_003_all_1907120020_wipe_ae2a3b38959345b1.zip)
-Rebooting and trying again
-Relock and unlock the bootloader
-factory reset within the settings
The strange thing is, I can normally install oxygenos 9.0.8 full update file. So I suspected problem of the dp3 file. But redownloading didn't solve the problem.
Is there something I have missed out? Some settings I have to do? Specific conditions?
Searching haven't helped me much(I searched everywhere, but I think nobody has my problem).
If someone can help me, I will be grateful. Thanks!
Since your bootloader is unlocked anyway, you can flash Android Q DP3 zip using TWRP. Flash it on both slots. Haven't tried blu_spark, but mauronofrio's TWRP works with Q. Don't forget to format data.

Thanks! Will try that!
Can I ask you one more question? What is the best and convenient way to go back to stock? I used nexus 4 and mi a1 before, and both devices just had to use
fastboot roms to go back to complete stock. Is it same with OP6? Or do I have to use MSM tool or other things?

I think it's down to your preference. I prefer the fastboot ROMs simply because I haven't tried MSM download tool yet. But yeah, both fastboot ROMs and MSM download tool are available for OP6.

I successfully flashed Q dp3 thanks to you.
However, I can't boot TWRP with fastboot boot twrp.img method. Before updating to Q, it worked. Now, cmd line shows FAILED (remote: 'unknown command').
I have tested with newer versions of Fastboot, but the results were the same. Anybody knows how to solve this problem?

Yep, it's a known issue with DP3 (or possibly earlier builds). Anyway, every time you flash a ROM, may it be stock or custom, you should always flash TWRP next. For now, you could try downgrading to Pie using fastboot ROMs.

Thank you so much. I don't know what I could've done without you. I'll try to downgrading. Still not accoustomed to how roms work in OP6. Guess I'll study more.
Again, thank you for kindly answering my noobish questions! It means a lot to me

No problem. Read more about A/B partitions. It's actually just as easy to mod our phone once you know how A/B partitions work.

Hi guys
I was trying some of custom rom on my OP6 and I wanted to go back to Oxygen OS. So i did a clean installation with system wipe and i flashed the last full OTA update. But since i can't boot to system anymore, TWRP always displays that there is no OS installed despite the fact that I've tried several rom . Is this the first time it's done this to me how can I fix it?

The best suggestion I can give you is to flash stock oos with TWRP, reboot to stock recovery, without flashing anything else, wipe data from stock recovery and startup system.. if it is working you can flash back TWRP and magisk if you need it
Just be careful because at your point is easy to lose all of your stored data

If you wipe system, then flash oos ROM, TWRP will think there is no os. You can just ignore and boot.
Wiping system then flashing any time will make twrp display "no os installed" it does this because it hasn't created files for twrp to check if you have a ton installed. Flashing twrp then rebooting to twrp fixes it.
Reboot to stock recovery?

Hi, need a little bit of support, since I'm new to this as well. I was in a working OOS open beta 25/28, but then I think I flashed the wrong zip (OOS 9.0.9?), and I was not able to boot to system. It kept going to "bootloader unlocked" screen and custom recovery. Currently in TWRP blu_spark 3.3.1-x v. 9.109, and it's showing me no OS installed when I attempt to reboot. I haven't rebooted to system yet.
All the folders in my /sdcard is gibberish... if I try to push a file to it, it says "Required key not available." I did remove all security/passwords from my phone before doing any updates/backups.
I completed a wipe cache/dalvik/system via TWRP, and flashed the OOS OTA stable Android 10 zip downloaded directly from OnePlus Support. Considering this situation, do you still think it's safe for me to reboot to system? Then how do I get to stock recovery from there--is that by holding down the buttons?

No, your internal storage Is like trash cause the last rom you flashed has older security patch than oos10. Your device Is now encrypted and wont boot to system. I Guess you have to erase all via MSN tool or fastboot signed rom. Even if you wiped what mentioned above, your problem still be the data.
Fastboot method?

Thank you for replying. I'm relieved that you know of a couple methods to try.
Is using "Format Data" in TWRP an option for dealing with the encryption??
For the MSN tool, can I use this one? Tried looking around, but it's unclear. "[TOOL] MsmDownloadTool V4.0 International (Oxygen OS 5.1.5)" https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...wnloadtool-v4-0-international-t3798892/page10
I would be more comfortable with using fastboot, but am I at any risk of having lost fastboot, or can I just turn off my device from TWRP right now and hold down the buttons to get there? Afraid to move out of TWRP right now, in case I can't get back. I do have twrp-3.3.1-18-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img that I can run from fastboot if needed.
By "signed rom," do you mean I can simply flash one of the zips here from fastboot? "[OnePlus 6][ROM][OTA][Oxygen OS] Mirrors for official Oxygen OS ROMs and OTA updates" https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3792244

I hardbricked my device about 10 times and i was able to recovery It even from a blank screen. Btw format data Will erase all your data but also the internal storage. About fastboot dont be afraid, go under twrp reboot section and reboot to bootloader. Then go under xda op6 guide section and search for mirrors for fastboot rom guide by Mauronofrio. He pushed my ass out the **** a lot of time.
P.s. Sorry but I dunno how to paste a link via xda app. Yes, ik! It's a vert newbie thing.

That's awesome, I'm starting to grasp how much of a genius Mauronofrio is, after so many people referencing his work.
In his guide, he says, "These ROMs can't be used to update or downgrade your phone but just to restore your phone, so don't use them to come back to oreo or to update from oreo to pie." This may be a dumb question, but how do I know which zip/OOS version to flash, when I don't have a functioning OS on my phone?

I talked with Mauronofrio in pm and he said me that you could solve your issue simply flash the ROM you want and format data after flash that one. Remember that your internal will be wiped but it would happen in any scenario we talked.

That worked! And starstruck that you were able to check that with him. I flashed Mauronofrio's fastboot ROM for 10.3.2 and it rebooted (WOW). I clicked through the Google setup pages and checked that my data and wifi worked.
I then went back into fastboot, booted M's twrp img, fomatted data, and then installed twrp-3.3.1-x_blu_spark_v9.109_op6.zip, rebooted into recovery.
Then I think I made a mistake, because I installed Magisk-v20.4.zip. It succeeded, but now I can't boot into system anymore. Is it too late to flash the 10.3.2 boot.img?

Someone posted a patched boot.img for 10.3.2, so now I'm rooted without TWRP. Priorities. Now all I need is for special characters and emojis to work Will keep an eye on other threads.

Hey,
I bricked my OP7 after what seemed like successfully installing and using Android 11. I am getting the Teamwin blinking brick.
This(

I am pretty sure I know my OS, but is there a way to find out?
I was running the stable, but flashing stock boot just led me to a boot loop with the Original Recovery, it's giving me options to
1. Wipe data and cache
2. Reboot to fastboot
3. Reboot to recovery
The fastboot flash commands above to flash stock OS didn't work, due to one error or another.
Anyhow, I had read somewhere fastboot continue works(here: it wasn't working before for me), so I tried that again, and now I am just stuck on 1+ Fastboot screen. I will wait it out to see if it boots into system.
Otherwise, I am thinking I reload fastboot and flash stock boot just like I did- and from there wipe data, but what do I expect then??
The way I see it, I am just stuck in some serious boot issue, and might eventually have to go down the path of msndownloadtool, any suggestion?

Flashing the stock boot.img should be enough to boot into system without problems because TWRP can't decrypt data in android 11.
In this point you can try a factory reset from stock recovery this will keep device files but will erase all your config and apps
To figure out what version of firmware you had you can run this command in fastboot
Fastboot getvar all

Flashing didn't work to boot into system, I was just getting stuck in the Recovery boot loop, it finally booted into system once I wiped my data(files, music, etc -option);
I did try factory reset, only once I cleared the partition, did the boot loop give way to boot into system;
It booted back to Android 11, but it's all glitchy: Boot taking too long, WiFi not switching on, Call not working, Data is working though- basically it's very screwed up, got a couple of errors too- it's like watching an amnesiac old person.. if you get the gist.
So, now I am considering a stable build from Oneplus support website as a local upgrade and booting back to that..
I am hard pressed for options, let me know if you think something else works better, thanks!

I guess msmtool it's the best way to restore your phone, remember that msmtool will re-lock your bootloader so if you want root you need to unlock your bootloader again.
Use msmtool and instructions form Here(there's an android 9 and android 10 for Global and Europe versions, use android 10)

This is the OnePlus 7 pro forum so, I assume you was a 7 pro user, now all makes sense you don't flash the correct boot.img for your device so all woes wrong.
You need to use msmtool from Here

Hey, I am on Mac, I see that Msm is windows-specific.. any way out?
Update: I have been roaming around the corridors of this forum since about a week now. Thanks @RokCruz !!
Finally, used msm tool, although I suspect I still had the option of flashing TWRP and Magisk as I had access to phone and fastboot, but the system was super glitchy.

Hello!
I tried the search function but my search-fu isn't strong today. I got a Vortex V22 phone from Standup Wireless. I must have been half asleep, because when i flashed what I assumed was the correct boot.img, I got stuck in a boot loop.
On further investigation, I had flashed the boot for another device called Vortex. I am having incredible difficulty in finding the right boot image. The info I have from the side of the box is:
Vortex V22 4G LTE
Color: Graphite Blue
ROM 32GB
RAM 3GB
OS Android 11
FCC ID 2ADLJ-V22
I deeply appreciate any and all help. Thanks so much!
i was trying to find a phone case for the phone what model number is yours ?
If you're still searching I can try to make a rom dump, I have this phone as well brand new untouched or registered.
I'd just need a tutorial on the proper way to dump and extract the files so I can upload the boot.img
_
I've never used it cause I put the StandUp Wireless sim in my T-Mo InSeeGo 5G HotSpot and prefer to use my Galaxy S8 with Keyboard Cover Case and Unihertz Titan Pocket
Just dumping the firmware from mine, using SP Flash Tool. Used this guide: https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-12719.html
Will remove userdata & cache, but there is a LOT of gbs of system data. This phone is appearently Treble-enabled with VNDK ver 30, so yes, you can flash a GSI on there. Will provide a custom recovery necessary.
Edit: if you were wondering, this phone has a MT6761 with a eMMC flash.

Hi PicelBoi,
I have the V22. I've unlocked the BL and trying to install a custom rom via ADB or Fastboot but have had no luck. I try to erase or flash and I get errors saying partitions don't exist. Can you please help out with a recovery file?
I tried the hovatek guide but didn't have any luck, but I tried it before the BL was unlocked. Would that be an issue with the sp flash tool? I was told it shouldn't matter.
In fastboot not fastboot d do

You need to reboot to userland fastboot, which you could do by rebooting to normal fastboot then telling fastboot to reboot to fastboot by typing in fastboot reboot fastboot. You will see a new screen, and now you could flash a GSI to the phone.

I was able to get a bunch of GSI's that work with it, including the phone you posted, but I was looking to get root and found a couple pre-rooted GSI's that work as well. Newer ones do work as well I has 13 rooted and working. However, I liked the Pixel ROMs the best and would prefer to install those instead and then root. So I need the firmware for that so I can patch a modified boot.img.

Thank you. I understand and have a lot of experience with this. However, I still never understood why there is two Fastboot's.
I can't get it to boot in one I flash the super that I backed up that don't get it to boot maybe I could use a good super. What about vbmeta?

Are you looking for a good GSI ROM?
As of right now I'm just trying to get it booted up with any room. I got it rooted and then something I ****ed up when I tried to flash a GSI. And I started messing with the boot a boot b vbMeta from system and blank. And I don't have the firmware an the super that I backed up won't boot when I flash it.
But yes I am indeed looking for a good running a12 rom

I completely messed up one messing with partitions and it took many tries trying to get to was able to still get to the bootloader fastboot and then recovery to fastbootD. You should be able to get it booted into fastbootd and flash as it seems you can.
Try the one below. you should be able to find it with a google search. If you can't let me know and I will try to look and see where I downloaded it from as I cannot remember where I found it.
I've tried many GSI ROM's Some boot fully, some only boot to the boot screen and some won't boot at all.
I'm using 13 rooted LineageOS GSI version 20-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvS
It is vanilla. I can't remember if there is a GAPPS version or not. But you can load it all after with magisk. But its rooted.
I still would like if picelboi could share the stock rom, so we can have a boot.img. I would like to try other ROM's that are not PRE-Rooted.

I can't remember which A12 I had working but I was looking for root and the one A12 that was prerooted I had issues with so I went to A13.
This is an A13. LineageOS GSI version 20-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvS
There may be a newer version of it now.
Also, these phones seem have that internet connect issue with some GSI ROMS and this is one of them I think, they connect to wifi but they won't actually connect to internet, but there is a easy fix for it.
Hey Guys,
I got a new OP8T and wanted to install LineageOS 19.1 (First time doing something like this, so this might be a dumb question).
before doing anything, I updated OOS to the latest version using the internal update. I then unlocked the bootloader and flashed the latest LOS recovery. After flashing the LOS recovery, my phone goes into a boot loop whenever I try to boot it, after 4-5 loops, it boots into the stock recovery.
I can access fastboot mode though. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this or what I might have done wrong?
In the recovery I have the option "format data". Might that do a factory reset?
Or should I go into fastboot and try flashing the recovery again?
I also thought about flashing Android 12 OOS from: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-official-kebab-12-lineageos-19.4484387/page-2#post-87339737
I'm a little afraid to completely bricking the phone now by doing something stupid.
Edit: Tried to "format data". No real changes. Can still boot into recovery and fastboot.
Another thought I had, was that now, after factory resetting, the phone might be back to Android 11, so maybe I could try to flash TWRP for Android 11 and then LineageOS 18.1?
What are your thoughts?
Edit: Forgot to flash the vbmeta.img and dtbo.img partitions.
Flashing them and then flash the recovery again resolved the issue
A factory reset does not downgrade your OS version. Did you flash the dtbo and vbmeta partitions before flashing LOS recovery?

What I would do is go into fastboot and flash dtbo, vbmeta and recovery downloaded from here, then reboot into recovery directly from the bootloader menu.

Is that the same as the most recent recovery and LOS from LOS official download page?
Anyway you're a huge help! Thank you so much!
The file name is identical so I suppose they are the same. I found the link in the official guide.

I'll go ahead and try it first thing tomorrow morning
Don't be too anxious about "completely bricking" your phone if you're just trying to upgrade and then flash Lineage. Don't rush, try some things that make sense based on your understanding of the correct procedure, and make a brief note of each step you took to help you later on if things don't work as expected. I've made lots of mistakes ending in boot loops and crash dumps, sometimes by accident and sometimes intentionally, and there's always a way to get out of it unless you do something really out of the ordinary. Keep your mind engaged and you'll have many "Ah-ha!" moments along the way. Don't give up and ask carefully worded questions when you get stuck. It may take a bit longer to get the job done than you expected but it will all work out in the end.
Flashing the partitions and the reflashing the recovery worked! Thank you all for the help!

Yes...so far it's a toss up. It's either the ROM that somehow messes up and bricks the phone or the Gapps bootloops. I have literally used the MSM tool probably 15 times maybe more in the last 12hrs.

As a precaution, it's usually the Custom ROM which is why a good number of folks revert back to stock and stay put.
It sideloaded a little weird but it's working. Only issue I'm having now is the Gapps won't sideload nor flash...it says error wrong format. Tried unpacking and repacking no luck And it won't let me boot TWRP at all. I have to do fastboot reboot just to get it out. Guess I'm going to have to use the unbrick tool just to get stock and try something other than lineage 19.1

Try to utilize fastboot as a method to flash versus sideloading.
