I somehow uninstalled my OS and no ROMs will Flash.. - OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I somehow uninstalled my OS tonight when I was trying to flash AOSP's Oreo ROM. The flashing was unsuccessful (Error: 7) but I've noticed that no ROMs will flash at all.
I'm getting the same error for all ROMs despite them being suitable for my device:
Updater Process ended with ERROR: 7 Error Installing Zip File "ROM xx.x.x..."

Things I've done:
I've tried wiping the cache before I flash ROMS
I am on the most updated version of TWRP available for my device (3.0.2)
I've tried changing the updater-script as someone pointed out in another thread but it did not help
At this point, I just want a stable OS that will run on the phone.... Can someone help me? I just want to understand the error and what's causing it and install a ROM that would work...

Look for Mega Unbrick Guide to install a OS.

That's odd, because Error 7 is usually related to Updater-Script. Have you modified your model name in Updater-Script or just removed the line from it?

TWRP version is 3.1.1-1 now so you're not on the last.
Beside that, the question is what was on your device before :
- Did you already installed OOS 3.1.4 at one point?
- Didi you use the BLUpdater method to update the bootloader (logic ) ?
If no to the 2 questions above, that is the problem. So , you'll have to use the mega unbrick guide !

I actually haven't done both. I tried flashing the OOS 3.1.4 full ROM but it did not work. I will update my TWRP to 3.1.1-1 and I'll try it again. I do have an update though, I am able to flash an old version of Android M OOS using "OnePlusOxygen_14_OTA_003_all_201510241934". If I am able to install this, maybe this isn't a bricked device? Any advice would be super useful, thanks in advance.

If you haven't done any of the 2 things listed, then you tried to flash a "new Bootloader rom", you have no choice :

TWRP doenst work with replaced mainboard

Hey XDA-Community
I sent my phone to oneplus for repairing it. They wrote that as solution for my problem (speakers didn't work) they just replaced the mainboard. But now I'm unable to install TWRP persistently. After every reboot I get the stock recovery. Furthermore if I'm in TWRP wich I just booted from fastboot I can't install anything. If I want to flash SuperSu it says errors like: "Unable to find partition size for '/boot'" (also other partitions like '/recovery', '/misc'...) then in the console the folowing error gets displayed: "Unable to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)" this continues with all the other partitions, and then (obviously) SuperSU doesn't get installed. I have attached a screentshot about my phone info. Do you have any idea how I can fix this? Do you need any further information? Feel free to ask.

I did that, and tried it for a few days. But unfortunately most of my Apps crash all the time, or after a few minutes. Sometimes I cant, lock or unlock my screen and root with SUperSU just disapperes sometimes Sadly this custom rom is very unstable. Is there maybe ANY way I cold just flash the Android 6 stock ROM on it and root it with anything? I really don't care what I have to do for rooting it, but this ROM is just too buggy... but it looks nice, and having Android 7 is also ver cool:fingers-crossed::good:

I have the same build number as OP (E1003_15_161107). Phone is untouched and on stock ROM. Read things about our devices being different than others and hence little to no ROM support. So I am a bit lost. I reckon recovery provided by you works well on our device. What about the ROMs ? Can I flash any of my choice ? And Kernels ? Can I opt for kernels other than Arsenic ? (Big fan of Franco. Using his kernel on my OPO)

Yes you can flash any rom of your choice, just make sure you flash Arsenic R46 along with the rom zip as kernel is what makes your device boot. I'm not sure about franco's kernel so better ask in his respective thread?
No Luck for me.

I'm sorry, i already use the suggerted versions for the installation process but it doesn't change anything at all. Now i'm trying to flash the stock ROM via TWRP but i can't due to the same error 7, maybe i'll try using miflash tool but i don't know how to use it.
What I did was just basically download and extract the pixel expeirence folder to your PC and later on go into the updates folder then search for google-android in which you will find the file for the binary and also the script then click on the script and open with notepad and delete the first few lines where it started with "ASSERT". After you have done all these compresss the folders back into one and try install it again
Have you tried formatting data???

Why are these custom ROMs not compatible with Oreo Firmware??
Edit: I am planning to compile a ROM for the first time. All I have ever done is to compile recovery(For Redmi 5A) where they are compatible with Oreo firmware(just like other recoveries).

Nobody has worked on the oreo sources yet so...
@sunnyraj84348 might be working on it, I don't know, I'm just assuming. Maybe he's focusing on Android 10 ROMs more than Oreo kernel.

But now i'm stuck on pixel experience 9.0 (caf) & no twrp working properly when want to flash stock miui oreo.

Installing Magisk leads to 'Unsupported/Unknown image format' error

Hi,
I tried to install Magisk by first unlocking the bootloader, installing a custom recovery (TWRP) and later flashing Magisk. Unfortunately during the installation of TWRP I got hit with boot loop and used Sony's flash tool to get the stock ROM and get booted. But the ROM offered by flash tool is 6.01 (Marshmallow). Then I tried to install the latest Magisk 20.4 both by using TWRP and by using Magisk manager. But both resulted in the 'Unsupported/Unknown image format' error. These are the logs I see are:
- Device platform: arm64-v8a
- Copying image to cache
- Unpacking boot image
! Unsupported/Unknown image format
! Installation failed
Basically I want to:
1) Install Magisk
2) Upgrade from Marshmallow to the latest Android stock.
Any guidance is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Karthik

HI Zaqm,
I tried the latest Magisk 20.4 and few other previous versions but I don't remember giving v18 or v18.1 a try. I will do that.
Also, I would like to share that I did not allow TWRP to modify the system partition. I opted to keep the system partition 'Read Only'. The reason I did this is that whenever I allow TWRP to modify the system partition, I get stuck at the SONY boot logo and my phone would not boot and I need to reflash the stock ROM again.
I also came to know that I need to flash a rooted kernel to avoid the bootloop or I should flash the drm fix if I want to keep the stock kernel. Can you comment on that?
Thanks,
Karthik

Hi, did you solve the error? i face the exactly same problem but mine is xperia sp.
same problem without solve

IS there any custom ROM for the Samsung Galaxy j4 SM-j400M?

Hello! I've been trying to install a custom ROM on my SM-J400M for a while now and none worked, recently i tried installing Magisk on it and now it is in a bootloop . Is there any custom ROM compatible with my device? Or it is impossible to install a custom ROM on it? At the moment it seems like it is not even rootable...
Also the version of TWRP that i installed on my device says that it is an SM-J400F instead of a SM-J400M which is the actuall name of the model. Is that a problem? If so please tell me how to unistall it, i wasnt able to find any way to uninstal TWRP on a soft-bricked phone.

Hello! I've been trying to install a custom ROM on my SM-J400M for a while now and none worked, recently i tried installing Magisk on it and now it is in a bootloop . Is there any custom ROM compatible with my device? Or it is impossible to install a custom ROM on it? At the moment it seems like it is not even rootable...
Also the version of TWRP that i installed on my device says that it is an SM-J400F instead of a SM-J400M which is the actuall name of the model. Is that a problem? If so please tell me how to unistall it, i wasnt able to find any way to uninstal TWRP on a soft-bricked phone.
Thanks in Advance!

Is There Any Custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy J4?
YES!
Although, this is not specific Custom ROM for this device. This ROM is GSI (Generic System Image), and J4 is greatly support it! (Because it has Android Oreo out-of-box)
How to install it?
Easy, install TWRP from TwrpBuilder's Github, flash GSI Image as usual, flash magisk (if bootloop, flash this might help), and done!
Please note that this is GSI, bugs are widely open. But, as far as I use J4, the only bug I feel are Camera and MTP (fixed by using custom kernel)
Edit: For your TWRP, which version you install?

Thanks for the reply!
I recently discovered that my Samsung J4 is carrier locked so i don't think it is possible to flash a custom ROM in it...
I really tried many things since this post but in the end it would always get stuck in a boot loop and i would have to flash the official firmware in it to restore it.
What TWRP version did i use?
I honestly don't remember but it probably was a unofficial TWRP 3.2.3 or something similar, not sure if it was unofficial or not but it seemed to work...
Also, how would i go around getting a custom kernel to use on the device that would fix those problems?
Again, thanks for replying!

I use TWRP 3.2, and flashed MY builded custom kernel (Only for GSI!) https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j/development/kernel-redline-kernel-samsung-galaxy-j4-t4188199/
You need to update to Android 10 Stock then flash the A64 A/B GSI. And remember to flash dm verity disabler then flash Magisk. Magisk is important too.
For more info about this, feel free to join our telegram group : https://t.me/SamsungGalaxyJ4
In there we have detail instruction to flash GSI for J4. And other issue discussion
I can't write the steps here, because the steps is little complicated. Cheers!
Thank you for your help!
Soon i will be giving it another attempt then !
Sorry for taking so long, even the site had a upgrade!
