        @thilov it's failing for Ubuntu 20.04 installed on a system.

          Hi @lakotaubp

          Actually the installer mentions the version to be 9.0.6 :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:

            @geekyneo Wasn't sure it's been some time since I installed OP3. I know thw OP5 does as that was the last one I did. Have you tried with and without the bootstrap option? This is odd very similar to issues with a OPO to.

                @thilov , the same installer works perfectly fine for OnePlus One and installation was a success.

                    @geekyneo All I can think off for now and you might not like it 🙂 is to flash the OP3 with the OS version it shipped with and go from there. That should put everything back to where it should be. You can then do all the dev mode stuff, mtp transfer usb debugging, adb permissions and try again.
                    That or try a much older version of the installer with the OP3 on it. Lost as to why it will not flash after clearing, formatting and so on.

                      I had the same problem and decided to try and solve it by formatting both /data and /system. TWRP provides buttons to change the filesystem type for any partition, but afaik not to format any partition except /data. So using the UI I changed the filesystem of /data to ext4 and formatted it.

                      Then I went into a shell ($ adb shell on my PC but TWRP has an internal shell too) and unmounted /system to format it:

                      ~ # mount
                      

                      Note the block device /system is mounted on, then:

                      ~ # umount /system/
                      ~ # mkfs.ext2 /dev/block/<device>
                      

                      (Yes, that's ext2, not 4, but it won't matter)

                      You can of course use the shell to format /data (and /cache) the same way if you want.

                      After that, I could install UT by not ticking the boxes for first install and wipe device.

                      I would be interested if others also succeed using this solution.

                        This worked for me! I only had to alter the commands, as 'mount' would not show /system and the adb shell did not recognize the mkfs.extX -invocation of mke2fs :

                        OnePlus3:/ # cat /etc/fstab
                        

                        Get the block device...

                        OnePlus3:/ # mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/<device>
                        

                        As the /system-partition was already ext4, I wonder whether wiping the partitions will be enough and the trick is not ticking the 'first install' and 'wipe device' boxes....

                        Thanks a lot, anyways!

                          @kriszie mount without arguments will show anything that is mounted, and where. So if it doesn't show /system than it means that partition isn't mounted, so you don't have to unmount it. Sadly, UT doesn't have lsblk, my usual go-to for finding out what devices there are, mounted or otherwise.

                            ~ # mount
                            

                            Note the block device /system is mounted on, then:

                            ~ # umount /system/
                            ~ # mkfs.ext2 /dev/block/<device>
                            

                            (Yes, that's ext2, not 4, but it won't matter)

                            You can of course use the shell to format /data (and /cache) the same way if you want.

                            After that, I could install UT by not ticking the boxes for first install and wipe device.

                            I would be interested if others also succeed using this solution.

                            Isn't there a manual install instruction somewhere?, I thought it was on the devices page, i'd like to try installing
                            manually, without the installer.
                            None of these solutions worked me, been messing around for hours, wiped and formatted all partitions except USB-OTG.Even formatted
                            SYSTEM using twrp terminal, still freezes on reboot, after installing. Even reinstalled Oxygen 9.0.6 using the installer and started over again.
                            I can install Lineage OS from TWRP no problem.

                            I can easily install, if I untick first install and wipe boxes, reboots, get the rotating
                            ring on first boot, then on 2nd reboot stuck on "Powered by Android" splash screen.

                            using ubports-installer_0.8.6-beta_linux_x86_64.AppImage and twrp-3.3.0-0-oneplus3.img newer versions of both
                            freeze up.

                              I had the same problem and decided to try and solve it by formatting both /data and /system. TWRP provides buttons to change the filesystem type for any partition, but afaik not to format any partition except /data.

                              This is the problem I seem to be running into today. The installer said something about needing to format both of these partitions, but I could not find where to do it in TWRP so I skipped it. This appears to have been a mistake. The phone can now not boot into any OS. (Not a drama as it was very cheap)

                              Is there any way to fix this without terminal use? If not, is there any link or information that explains how precisely this is done through the terminal? The instructions as given here make my head spin, I'm afraid.
                              Any sentence that starts with 'You can use the shell...' makes my inner technophobe shout 'No I &%$ well cannot'. 😵

                                @moem you can just boot back to twrp and you need to look under advanced wipe otptions. Clear format to ext4 cache and data. Then try again. You might need to do system as well.

                                    Okay, I managed to do this. But I'm still getting the same error:
                                    Installing - connection to device lost

                                    And it also pops up a notification about not being able to mount something. Here's an example, but the numbers differ a bit:

                                      The installer offered to reinstall OxygenOS, and that worked! So at least the thing boots again. More experiments to follow soon.

                                          @lakotaubp I don't see anything relevant in that thread... maybe I'm missing something?

                                              @lakotaubp Ah, THAT fifth of November! Will check, thank you.

                                              Edit: I see a lot of mentions of using TWRP for wiping cache/data/system partitions... which I have done at least five times today in different ways. 😕
                                              No success yet.
