Hi everyone, I have a weird problem with my OnePlus 7 Pro. I made a mistake with an app that leaded me to edit some system files about screen resolution. Now the phone boots up, the main screen appears but I can't use any app. They result installed in the "all apps" menu, but I can't use any of them, neither the launcher or Google Apps, just the clock and the phone (that crashes immediately). How can I solve it? I'd like not to restore the phone, it's too long to backup and then restore all the data. Please, help :crying:

Which version of the OS and what files did you change?
So you must be rooted, if you are messing with system files?
Cardinal rule with these devices (especially while doing root mods, etc.) is don't do anything, that you don't know how to reverse or recover from.
You should be able to flash the OTA file to the inactive slot, flash TWRP (installer zip) and install Magisk to inactive slot. Keeping data, and just keep motoring on!

I have the Korean F350S version, with Android 4.4.2. It's rooted.
I was using CCleaner, going through the long list of apps to delete. including system apps. For whatever reason, I deleted "phone". and now this thing won't get any bars, make any calls, or any texts.
I guess I deleted the basic "phone hardware" function...LOL. I thought I was just deleting the homescreen app that the user interacts with to use the phone. ARGH!
OK, so I downloaded ES File Explorer, and Undeleter. I got Undeleter to recognize and recover 39 .apk files to a file on the SD card, but most of the recovered files just have numbers for names. I have no idea what the files are for.
Is it possible to reinstall the basic phone software to get my cell phone calling again WITHOUT reinstalling the whole system from scratch?
If I did indeed erase the phone software (system app), would a system recovery even be a solution?
Since you have a f350 why dont flash d838ish stock rom
I was kind of hoping I didn't have to go through that right now, since the phone worked fine.
Is that the only solution?
I have gone beyond the needs of this thread, and have posted a new thread about needing to enter recovery mode . The phone will not enter recovery mode using button presses.
Hi guys, I recently rooted my Android device then removed some bloatware and also the built-in launcher (carefree - Ami launcher), then removed the root.
I am using now nova launcher as the default and all is working fine.
Should I move nova apk to /system/app? Or just let it like it is now?
I am afraid of bricking my phone in the future.

Dear community, I am facing several troubles with my OP7pro which I think can be quite easily handled but my knowledge is just too little.
I am running OOS 10.0.2 with Renovate ICE, rooted with Magisk and on TWRP 3.3.1-70 - stock kernel and normally encrypted. I am facing various troubles that started after upgrading from 9.5.13 tot Android 10. I do not know if they are directly related. I do have Nandroids, BUT the phone is my daily driver, also for work, and a factory reset will just take too much time.
What are the troubles you ask?
- I am not able to enter the menu Buttons&Gestures/navigation/set up navigation bar. The screen blinks and I am back in the upper menu. If I press this menu again I get a "Settings stopped". This sucks, because I want to set up my on-screen buttons
- I used to use Plus Beat in combination with RICE on Android 9. Worked perfect. Whatever I set up, Plus Beat just does not work. That sucks big time.
- I am not able to set on screen buttons to for example switch between recent apps or get anything else but horizontal recents (which is slow and to me sucks). QuickSwitch via Magisk doesn't bring anything.
NOW TO THE QUESTIONS:
I GUESS (! but am not sure!) that a factoryreset could and should solve these problems. I could and would do that, but, I need to be up and running and have my settings back quickly. Internal memory (root) I could copy to PC and paste back afterwords. But is there some way I could put my settings (in the menu) and all my apps (250+) back via Nandroid data?
I have the following things backed up in TWRP:
- Boot
- System Image
- Vendor Image
- Data
- Modem
- EFS
If I do a complete new factory set-up (for example via Maurefranio's tool), to refresh my system (I guess the failure is in there), can I put back other parts of the Nandroid to have all the rest back? Also in the menu-settings, color-setting etc. etc. etc.?
I know it sounds rooky, but I hope someone takes time to help me a little. I do use Titaninium etc. but I can't spend hours and hours on a recovery. In that case I'd probably decide to keep using the OP7pro as I do, but it's frustrating that RICE and Plus Beat don't work fully and some other errors. The usability to me is 4 out of 10 - where in Android 9 it was surely 9 out of 10.
Greetings,

Are you running a substratum theme? That could be the settings issue. But that's about all I could help with. Never restored anything using twrp on this phone. Most I've done is backup my apps with swift backup, factory reset, or MSM tool, and restore my apps.
How quickly do you need your phone up and running? You could backup with swift backup, factory reset and only restore what you need for now then do the rest when you have time.
@GeekMcLeod: no, Substratum not even installed. All this trouble started after the regular update to Android 10.
But more my question is: IF I flash the whole phone back to factory setting (not a reset because the errors might still be there so a complete whipe and re-flash) - which part of Nandroid is usefull to get SETTINGS and APPS back? Just that. The internal memory I can copy and paste back.
I really hope someone can give me a quick instruction of how this works. Much appreciated!

In that case, I would just use swift backup, backup to your device. Transfer SD card contents to your computer, factory reset. Transfer SD card files back. Swift backup can backup all apps and data. I believe that would work for what you want.
I, however, do not know what parts of the nandroid do what as I usually just don't bother with it.
GeekMcLeod: appreciate your advise, but Nandroid is there for a reason.
Is there anyone who can please help me what to do best? I mean, one of those Nandroid-partitions holds the clue, right?
I am also facing overnight Batterydrain of about 30% (from 80 to 50 in about 7-7,5 hours).
No Nandroid specialists in the house?
You need to wipe your data. Use Swift to backup apps, messages and call logs. Google will do it's best to restore settings upon setup. Your problem is almost guaranteed to be in data. If you need that data, I would recommend going back to whatever version of pie you were on before. Swift won't restore app permissions, as far as I know so be sure to double check if you restore apps with Swift.
Hi,
i need help. How can i restore a nandroid from one oneplus 6 on another?
I tried to do it but ended up in a bootloop to recovery.
Original phone is rooted (which shouldn't be a problem, right) and encrypted and secured with pin, fingerprint and face unlock.
Is maybe the encrption the problem, or has it soething to do with A/B partitions?
Both phones were on the same version of OxygenOS and i used the same version of TWRP.
Any solutions?
Thanks

But why would you want to do that?
Why won't you just transfer all your important files over to the other OP6 and just start fresh. Restoring your apps doesn't take that much time and you'll probably waste more time on getting your original plan to work.
It could very well be that encryption causes issues when trying to restore a nandroid backup.
It's the little things like for example all my open chrome tabs, or the whatsapp images that will be messed up after restore. And so on. It's just so much easier to continue where I left off. No restoring of apps and settings and whatnot.

But you can just save and restore Chrome sessions as long your logged into the same account right?
And I don't know why you think WhatsApp images will get messed up? Sounds more like a bad experience you had which was probably caused by an unfortunate bug/glitch or an user error. The build-in backup feature of WhatsApp never failed on me and just makes a backup on your GDrive and restores it when you log in with your number again. Manually transferring the WhatsApp folder is an alternative that works fine too.
And what are you planning to do when you get a new device? You'll definitely have to manually restore things then so why can't you now, doesn't take a full day to do so and actually works without issues. But to sum it up, I think you are wasting time by trying to restore a nandroid backup on an other device than it's originally created on.
You also might want to look into Titanium Backup, Migrate or it's alternatives. You can use those two apps to backup apps and their data and possibly more and restore it on a fresh system.

There are different apps for that such as Migrate, OAndBackupX or Swift which can backup apps as they are now and you can then restore them back to another device without any issues (particularly Migrate)
I've been having a bunch of problems recently with my rooted 7 Pro including Magisk Manager constantly "keeps stopping", not being able to access Hide to add new applications, banking apps starting to detect that I'm rooted and camera issues: the camera app not starting, the camera not popping up automatically and the image being usually reversed and occasionally upside down as well, depending on the app I'm using.
Given that Magisk appears to be dead/dying, having lost its developer to Google, I thought I'd start by getting rid of that and then performing a firmware upgrade in necessary to see if that fixes the other issues.
I uninstalled the Manager then ran the uninstall zip within TWRP. Rebooting though hangs on the initial "ASUS" screen.
I can get back to TWRP ok so I guess I'm not bricked yet. My next thought was to try a system upgrade but I seem to need to know the exact version I need, which, seemingly, I can only get via a working phone?
From the back, it says only model I002D along with SN and IMEIs.
I've done a TWRP backup to the external uSD card, and I have a syncthing copy of all of the internal memory that I can access without root.
My questions:
1. Is there something there which can help my figure out which firmware I need to download?
2. Is there any way to install this without wiping the phone?
Please see this post.
When I try to burn rom with TWRP, img burns but it doesn't start and zip gives an error and cannot burn.
When I first burned custom ROM (unofficial AEX), it did not start, so when I deleted the data from TWRP, it seems that I deleted things that should not be erased, so even if I burn it from the zip file, with the error message in the image below I...

Hi. Since Youtube Vanced is installed as a system application on my MI 9T phone, it cannot be deleted directly. I also downloaded a program that removes System Application with Root from Play Store and removed vanced with this program. After the uninstallation was successful, I restarted the phone. However, after the phone stayed on the MI screen for 20 seconds, it restarted and switched to Fastboot mode. Every time I reboot, the phone goes into fastboot mode by waiting 20 seconds at the MI logo and restarting.
I have important information on the phone I need your help to somehow fix this problem instead of new software.
My phone model is Xiaomi Mi 9T

Just re-flash the ROM already installed on your device (also called dirty flashing).

Hello, I did what you said. Everything is reset. All my apps were deleted. The data is not visible. When I enter TWRP, I can see the data, but it does not appear when the phone is on.

Dirty flashing (reflashing the same ROM or a newer version of it) doesn't usually cause your installed apps to get deleted. Is your phone able to boot now?
Backup the data partition from TWRP before you try anything else.

Yes my phone boots.
But I don't have any of my installed apps. The data of these applications was important to me.

That's because your system is unable to read the data partition.
Are you able to install new apps? Try installing an app that isn't already installed before this problem started. I want to see where the system saves the data for this app.
Take a backup of all your files before proceeding further.

I installed several apps. What should I do now? Where would you like me to look to see where the data is saved? By the way, thank you for your interest.

I'm not clear on what you mean here. What is the free space you see when you are booted into System?
If Data partition is not accessible from System, how/ where is it installing apps?

I mean data. Pictures, music and other files. I couldn't notice it because it was uploaded late, but now I can see them in File Manager. My installed applications have been deleted. For example, the phone number I use in my Whatsapp account, the sim card is missing. If I install whatsapp now, it will not open because the code will not come.
By the way, I am writing with the help of translate. Excuse me if there is a mistake.
