Yes I do. Everything seems to have rolled over fine. Update screen was not the bouncing thingies but simply the G logo. Haven't rebooted to see.. oh just a little of the dots, then a quick G and then it was up. Like maybe 10 seconds for a reboot. Wow.

I just downloaded and installed it with a unlocked bootloader no problem. It's still unlocked and I just rooted it.

All the OTA images are available at https://developers.google.com/android/ota. You can all download as you wish.

The .012 image. It is meant for all the phone's not covered by the .011 build.

Always On Ambient Display
Either, this didn't make it through in my update somehow or I'm overlooking the setting.
Can anyone offer any help on enabling this feature?
Thanks!

Man, that's annoying, I still haven't gotten it on my Project Fi pixel. I left vzw because I never got updates!

Where is the setting for always on ambient display? All I see is the regular ambient display, where it turns on for new notifications.

I've asked around and consensus seems to be that it was NOT included in this update after all. Looks like they're saving it for the Pixel 2.

Im on fi I just downloaded the ota and then sideloaded it.

Go to settings - display - advanced and it will be towards the bottom.
Nevermind, misread. It is only for notifications. You can make it turn on when you pick it up though. By turning on "lift to check phone"

I use the modded one for O here. You need to fastboot and load TWRP every time you use it because it is not flashable yet.

There are also 8.0.0 factory images as well (along with the usual older factory images) - they are all here: http://www.infinitiofsuitland.com/VehicleSearchResults?search=new
To play it safe, I grabbed one 7.1.2 and one 8.0.0 factory image for the Pixel to put through the wringer (since this would be the first Pixel I've ever put through the paces).

Anyway to revert from Oreo bootloader locked screen to Nougat style one?

Short of reverting to Nougat that is -- Is there a way to get rid of the new-style bootloader-locked screen that's the first thing you see on start-boot? I'd like to replace it with the Nougat style that allows you to hit a key and go right past it. I thought I'd seen a thread on how to do that here but if anyone knows, much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Oh yes -- It's a oneplus 5 and basically running that latest ob18 + NoLimits.

This is easy. Download and flash the Old Bootloader Unlocked Warning zip from this post of mine, and profit!

You can just dirty flash OOS and it'll get updated again, since the OOS zip also contains the firmware (of which the bootloader is a part).

If that's the case, then you can save the attached zip which has the new bootloader from OB18, in case you want to revert.

Factory OxygenOS OTA Updates - Where is download location

OnePlus 6T McLaren
I'm looking to snag the OTA zip file when doing a factory update. Where exactly is the zip file downloaded to during update?
-TIA

Duh.. Not sure how I missed it first time I looked. You just have to grab it before you let it reboot to finish installing update. After that its deleted.

I think he's looking for McLaren builds. Do the international builds even work on the McLaren? Without losing the McLaren stuff of course.

There are no "McLaren" builds.
After the McLaren version was released the builds are unified.
The McLaren difference is charging hardware and 10GB vs 8GB memory for the largest configuration.
When the ROM is installed and run, the software recognizes the difference.

What'd you use to root 107-75? I updated to it as soon as I received the phone, but didn't check if there was a root available prior and I couldn't find an updated stock ROM to patch the boot.img. No luck going to an earlier version, but maybe I was doing something wrong.
Thanks!

Do you have a copy of the 107-75 rom? Or did you patch a previous build and then update to 107-75?

You can always use the MSM Tool and then upgrade back to the version you want.

And the official instructions for rolling back to OOS 11 are already in the OPO announcement of OOS 12 in https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oxygenos-12-for-the-oneplus-8t.1555060/

Yes, but not for the EU version.
Welp, if it is safe I'll give it a try.
The EU version is the KB05BA? WWhat do those numbers mean? My phone says KB2005 although it was KB2003 before the ****ty update.

To my knowledge, you can flash any of the different variants (KB05AA,-BA,-BD,...) on any phone and they'll work.
So you can use the roll back zip, which takes you back to OOS 11.11, and then install the version you want (KB05BA) of OOS 11.13.
I don't know what they mean, but I assume KB is for kebab, and AA is for the global variant, BA is for the EU variant, and BD is for the Indian variant.
But that naming convention seems to have gone out the window with OOS 12.

It is a pleasure to inform you that I was able to rollback to Android 11. At first I used the EU MSM Tool but I got the DDR error, so I tried the International one and it worked without any issues. I must admit I was pretty nervous tbh. I used to do this a lot on my xiaomi mi max 2, but this phone is quite expensive to end up with a brick xd.

No need, you don't lose anything, the phone remains the same. In fact, it updates itself from the SO.

So I went to check what my phone thinks it is (I'm also on OOS 12) and to my surprise ro.boot.ddr_type doesn't exist!
