I have tried twice on my OnePlus 6T T-Mobile variant to upgrade to the newest Open Beta. It runs the current open beta released in September just fine. But then when I do a local upgrade to the Android 10 open beta, right after it finishes installing and I press reboot, I get a message that says Build Version and HW version do not match and it ets stuck in a bootloop. To fix it, I have to use MSMDownloadTool to fix it. I have tried doing a local upgrade using a locked and unlocked bootloader and both lead to the same problem. Has anyone succesfully updated their TMo variant because i hate having to keep restoring my device?
I usually wait for a while until official Android 10 ROM for international OnePlus 6T version (and flash it via TWRP both times so I don't get any conflicts, with same copies of the OS across both slots), then I do whatever I want (I usually upgrade the bootloader and vendor this way so newer flavor of LineageOS 16 or later ROMs work best). I didn't run into hardware mismatch warning, yet I managed to successfully flash the successive OxygenOS updates meant for the international OnePlus 6T on my T-Mobile OnePlus 6T so far without seeing any UEFI bootloader warning at all. I had to be careful, I partly bricked my Google Pixel phone the last time (rendered Slot A completely unbootable by accident, so I had to figure out how to restore it the hard way, without the computer).

Here is the solution for the moment.
I already installed it and everything works fine.

I'm not interested in rooting my phone :silly: so is there any work around for unrooted users at the moment? Ty
Not yet. The fastboot ROM is pre-rooted, so there's no additional tinkering needed. Just flash the fastboot ROM and upon reboot, it's rooted. You can always jump back to the stable build when it's released next month if you'd like.
That file was deleted. Is there any other way to flash it?

How is the Zip? I am new to the OnePlus forums do not see the least of two of 0 years ago I do so much trust that this would not happen as with P there were never problems with the V T which Vojo is some without root version?
Installed just fine, I love the new interface. BT isn't working for my Garmin watch. I guess I will have to wait for a full release for this to be fixed up.
Just a heads up to those who haven't made an actual phone call yet, Everyone I've spoken to has told me they can't hear me at all and that the quality comes out pretty garbled. Just something to look out for! If anyone has a fix for it please let us know!

No issues on the T-mo fastboot ROM
Well, actually right now I cannot get into recovery. Says Qualcomm Dump. Questions? Should I try flashing TWRP?

You haven't used the gyro, proximity sensor, specialized fonts, or emojis yet.
The OB1 creates a new partition called "reserve". This partition is not present on the Tmobile variants and its not created during install. There are issues with the Tmobile build, and its going to stay that way until an updated MSMtool comes out, Tmobile updates to A10, or some maniac actually goes through and fixes every single symlink that's broken.
OP ran out of space on system partition, so they're solution was to create a new partition and symlink everything from there to system.

Patching the boot.img with magisk canary is somehow breaking the symlinks to reserve.img (possibly others). reserve.img is where the extra fonts, oneplus specific apks (like weather, launcher icons, etc) are stored. If you wanna check, flip your font to oneplus slate, if its in italics, its hosed. If your font is looking at special characters and your getting boxes with X's in them, your hosed.
only way to fix is a clean flash, and use magisk stable manager to patch your boot.img if your rooting.

Ok, yeah, I do have the italic font. I thought that was just "new".
So basically, dont root it and it will be fine?

CAUTION TO NOT LOOSE TWRP
I read two posts that say v21, now again on V8.5, put the stock recovery back instead of twrp. This is probably a side effect of a fresh stock /system and wipe of /data.
As a preventive step, when done flashing and wiping reboot to recovery FIRST, before booting the system It will allow recovery to handle removing the recovery-from-boot.p that flashes stock recovery.
I just patched the modified V7.4.2 up to the newly released 8.3 now 8.4. 8.5, 8.7,9.0 -V9.2 Patch
New update has been made from V17 to V21 of the non prime version of R1-HD, Non prime is behind on security patch (2017-05-05)
Copied ROM from phone and made twrp install ROM from it.
* No preloader change (official updates change the preloader to block your ability to use sp flash tools for rom flashing)
* No lk.bin change __ this part is what allows you to choose boot options(boot menu when power and volume pressed together)
* No "FOTA" app Fota has now been left in to make it easier to get next update, if that ever happens.
* No opera browser
* No adds (removed in the modified 7.4.2)
* Custom boot logo (only done on v8.3, there was no interest in this so abandoned)
--Newer versions of rom left stock, Leaving mods up to user.
** while it is not necessary to do a wipe with this ROM, I still recommend it.
**Thanks:
** @vampirefo needed his patched v7.4.2 in order to apply this new 8.3 patch and again for 8.4
** @ColtonDRG OR @jasonmerc I do not remember which one made it: For the image used in the custom logo
and the modified zip is here .
Roms are rootable with SuperSU, flashed in twrp after install. Must be done in systemless mode. In order to patch system veridy in boot.img
Logo update did not work on original rom changing link to updated version
BLU rolled v8.3 back to v7.4.2 because of app compatability issues. V8.4 is there fixed release. Both 8.3 and 8.4 are modified prime roms with ads stripped
V21 is the non prime update.
Unmodified V6.1
==>NON-ROOTED-logo-not-replaced-modified-V8.3
==>Fixed Logo modified NON_ROOTED V8.3
==>>modified V8.4
==>>modified V8.5
==>>Full with Ads V8.7

==>>Patch For V9.2 must be flashed on top of fresh V9.0
****Run debloat ==>script to remove ads if you need/ want to, or remove from zip before flashing ****
alt. manual example: before reboot, while still in twrp. Select mount and put checkmark next to system. Then run these two commands in adb terminal
Code:

I had that happen to my second phone too.
I don't have an explanation yet.
I even made a separate update.zip , that one didn't make the logo change either. I did eventually change it with sp flash tool.
I tried with both recoveries.
and multiple /dev location formats. and for whatever reason my one phone did not accept the logo change from recovery.
And the other test phone it worked.

Neither did I but it all seems to be working fine
Been using this for about a day now, likewise no custom boot logo, but that's fine. Otherwise, it's been running super well. A lot better than the previous mostly stock version did for me with the bloatware APKs removed after the install. A lot of the general idiosyncrasies of the previous version of the stock rom seem to have gone away for me. It seemed to have weird storage management issues, errors moving to SD, broken symlinks that prevent apps from moving or being reinstalled, and a lot of other little non-storage issues, but so far, none off that here.
Long story short, good work! I hope we eventually see proper 7.x roms through some of the efforts going on, but in the meanwhile, your work here has made life a little bit better on 6.
It seems that I was able to get the logo.bin to update when I applied the original update patch, but not when I used the same line in the rom install.
It is no big deal that it did not work, I was just trying to make it look different at boot time.
edit:
I think i found the problem with the logo not updating.
i used the update-binary from the official patch update. (the one that allowed the logo to change the first time)
and it changes . so since the ROM seems to install the way it is , only the logo didn't flash I put it in a separate update.zip if anyone is interested in it.
EDIT 2:
clarification.
It was not so much the binary allowing the logo to change but the format of the partition location I had been using that needed that binary.
Further test had shown me that I could have used the binary I was using but just change the partition naming line
Code:
package_extract_file("logo.bin", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p9")
the above code works with the same update-binary as rom install
But I was using
Code:
package_extract_file("logo.bin", "/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/logo")
Taken straight from the official patch, and thats why it needed the update-binary also.
I dont know what is different in the binary other than , major size difference.
The powered by me logo was just a test file to see changes in the logo.
**logo-update is same as composite but with alt updater-binary
**composite-logo screenshot is in op
**stock logo will return to original BLU logo

Hahaha the scribbled "ME" is hilarious. Your work is awesome, I don't think anyone using this rom will have an issue with the boot image but thanks for being so helpful and explaining.
P. S. Do you have any plans with the Nougat update?

Nougat is going to take a full build from scratch. We don't have 100% identical hardware with any other nougat device to my knowledge. We might have the same MTK chipset, but there are several other differences. All we really need is an official device overlay and the vendor files released by BLU themselves. We can then apply those to the latest Lineage or AOSP (I prefer AOSP myself) and build. Then the only problem we'll run into is anything that has changed in 7.x that isn't compatible with our kernel we use in 6.0. It'd be a slight chance our current kernel would work without some patches on 7.x We can't even get our official sources for anything else, so I'm almost certain we'll not find any patches to for the kernel to work properly with Nougat, at least not from BLU or any similar devices. None The less Nougat has been well thought of, and we have been trying to debug issues with a broken Port. But a broken port from a different device is just that - Broken. We need a team of knowledgeable devs to build Nougat + Kernel from scratch and then we'll have it working. I can't do it alone with the old computer I have, the R1HD would be long forgot of by the time I got Android Compiled haha.
Mr. Mazak I flashed your rom it went smooth, I was hoping the newest update was for 6.0.1. But I didn't lose any functionality, hopefully on my Cricket Service this update has patched some things to the radio device that will retain connection more steadily. I experienced a lot of coming and going with the 7.4.2 rom. None The Less you did a good job with this update Mr. My suggestion is find the same MTK chipset with a fully working 7.x rom and just port the /System but keep all our libs and inits from this release just for a test starter. And don't replace the camera app thats in AOSP 7.x. )

It was just wishful thinking. I have no idea how all of this is done. All I know is @mrmazak has helped me to fall in love with my phone again with this V8.3. The 7.4.2 did seem a bit buggy for my phone but this update works beautifully and I didn't even root it. If this remains true I will be happy with this phone for awhile even on 6.0
Really confused right now.
I was browsing through the settings menus. And found in the Settings-security- menu a toggle labeled "quick boot" ( not to be confused with "fastboot") . I enabled it then rebooted to see if it booted quicker. Didn't seem to make much if any difference. So I went back to turn it back off. And it wasn't there. I checked in my other phone , it wasn't there on that one either.
Did any body see this menu item, and if so where is is it?
Edit 1:
Few more power off , power on cycles to compare times. With other phone and defiantly seems to have turned on some faster boot option.
This phone goes from off to on in 5-6 seconds other phone takes about 20.
Edit 2:
OK , I panicked for a minute.
Couldn't find the setting and thought that it was another way to block sp flash tool by preventing you from ever being fully powered off.
But the setting was in accessibility not security.
Mrmazak, first of all, thanks for the ROM, installed it yesterday. But I have a problem with SELinuxModeChanger app. First, I'm getting a security warning when installing it, then - when running it. And another message, with this app running - "can't obtain root", although SuperSU shows its status with green #, like every other app it gives root privileges to. On my other Prime phone, running 6.1 out of the box stock ROM, FM radio works just fine with SELinuxModeChanger app behaving flawlessly (no security warnings whatsoever). Any ideas?

The mode changer app is technically a security issue. I did have that warning a few times when using mode changer app from the XDA thread of the developer, then when I used the app downloaded from f-droid it worked with systemless root and didn't give the security warning.
The app downloaded from f-droid worked for me as well, many thanks!
Big thanks for getting this out, updated from previous debloated, rooted version to this modified 8.3 stock rom, rooted with SU v2.79 SR3, all is good - only App that won't show up nor install, even tried the ones off APK Mirror site - is my Dunkin Donuts App, LOL. Play Store now said it's not compatible and the APK started to install then failed - any ideas or suggestions on what to do ??
Otherwise, it's all good - I will survive without DD App, just run that from another device when I need my caffeine fix.

I also had an app that previously work, say is not compatible now.
Maybe has to do with apps that have links to pay accounts. And that has something to do with trustzone. (Tee1 & tee2)
Those sections I left out of the update. I will add it back in and test. Update when I do. It is also possible this problem is why Blu rolled back there update.
**EDIT**
well that didn't go well at all.
I flashed the new trustzone.bin files from the official update. Now phone no longer turns on and no longer connects to flash tool
**EDIT 2**
After much persistence and many failed attempts to get phone recognized in pc again. Finnaly got to a point that phone was cycling between "preloader" driver and "usb serial device", and with careful timing was able to start sp flash tool at just right time and the flashing back to original trustzone files seems to have recovered phone.
for the record i am not sure what steps made it work. But I was shifting back and forth between leaving phone sit on charge, then on charge with rubber band wrapped around power button, then not plugged in , and not plugged in with rubber band on power button.
Okay... persistence is key in customization, i guess! I am getting somewhere here!

Now this brings me to this thread, 8.3 Stock ROM. The thread assumes one knows how to install it and I suspect this could be as easy as uploading it to a folder in the phone then booting to TWRP and INSTALLING the ZIP file? Could someone clarify the steps to install this 8.3 ROM?

Yes. You are correct
Either put the zip file on external sd card , put card into phone boot into recovery mode and install , or put file directly onto phone .
Many ways to do that.
Easiest is to copy to phone while phone is connected to PC.
Cam also download file from internet with your phone.
Bottom line is get zip file to the phone boot to recovery and install
Anyone else having wifi issues after upgrading? While watching videos it seems the internet cuts out. The phone says it's still connected but I have to turn wifi off and back on for anything to work. Could be my router also but it didn't seem to be doing this until I installed 8.3

Right on man! I am officially running 8.3 ROM with April 5th 2017 Security Patch Level! Geez.. it was not easy but I got this working!
MrMazak, I followed all your instructions on both links, so could you tell me what exactly I have on my phone? Is it rooted? Bootloader Unlocked? The phone seems to be working fine but I don't know what level of access I have. Honestly I don't even know exactly what the differences between all these terms are.
Also, do I have or not SU? One of the steps under the .bat I believe install it. How do I access it?
Thanks again!

My install is pretty fresh, couple of hours, but as far as I can tell all is working fine with Wifi, As a matter of fact this is a new device only connected with Wifi and no SIM Card.... internet works fine.
Software Update: Axon 7 (A2017U) owners... Within the next 48 hours, an update will bring a security patch to your device. Bluebourne and KRACK vulnerabilities will be remedied with this patch.

Which is the patch date? G B09 has the December 1 patch, just wanted to know which one fixes this stuff
Can someone provide a B35 update zip? It's no issue for me to connect to Wi-Fi to install it, but I like to keep offline cached copies of files for recovery purposes, so that I can update even without Internet.
Thanks!
Edit: I have A2017U.
When will the B35 firmware will be available as flashable TWRP zip across a2017 devices?Does it have a improved battery life?

As soon as you make one?
Pretty sure it's available now. Let us know how the battery life is.
I know I asked before, but if someone can post a direct URL link to the B35 update file (whether it be a zip or something else) then it would be much appreciated. I know @DrakenFX released a system and bootstack zip, but I would rather use official files. I can't save an offline copy of the file since I'm not currently rooted, I suspect it is stored in the /cache partition. The file size is close to 700MB. I just want a copy for offline use. Maybe someone with root can capture a copy of the file after it has downloaded, but before the phone reboots to apply it. Or maybe the URL can be sniffed with WireShark or whatever. A B35 full OTA zip is better, but ZTE hasn't posted an SD card update download on the zteusa.com website yet.
Thanks!
I was able to grab the B35 update zip without rooting. I let the updater download the file, then quickly powered off the phone before it had a chance to reboot and install. Then I booted into EDL mode, and used @tennear's Axon7Tool to write TWRP. From TWRP I went to /data/data/com.zte.zdm/files, and grabbed a file called fota_update.zip. Then I reflashed the stock recovery with Axon7Tool, and installed the zip. All went fine. I suspect you can grab any OTA zip this way. Maybe I'll upload a copy of the file later.

Yes. I downloaded those 'init' files way back last Spring & found them more effective (at least impression-wise) than the AKT stuff. His "Conservative" mod helps w/ battery w/o a noticeable performance hit.
Early on I found the A7 was not happy when some apps were removed & replaced, but functioned OK if they were kept frozen & then replaced. Fortunately there is enough storage & memory that inefficiency does not (so far) cause issues. Sort of like the legacy SubStratum which could (sort of) work as long as system apps were excluded.
I look forward to your "hobby". Thanks

If you are using TWRP and/or are rooted, that setting>update will fail due to modified system files. READ & follow directions in post #2 HERE. Data will be saved & TWRP will be upgraded (if req'd).

But i succeeded. Having bootloader changed, twrp build-in and seperate modems, bootanimation changed, build-in battery tweaks, magisk, supersu, fasterUI....all ok now. Just adding some other stuff in next days. Hope to release it in the weekend :cyclops:

It will download, but the install will simply fail as it checks the system files, but certainly you are free to do as you wish. Good Luck!

hi, i am installing the new OTA update but it when my restarts TWRP asks for password to mount and doesn't allow me to install this new OTA update. I entered my phone password which said it decrypted the pkg but then it only opens the TWRP GUI. I tried to install the zip manually but it said it failed.
How can I let the phone install it without TWRP interfering?
Thanks a lot.

You can't. Use stock recovery if you insist on OTA, or use DrakenFx's zips to flash from TWRP. The latter is much more convenient.

Yes it works fine and the issue has nothing to do with root. Probably half of us using it are rooted without issue
Bit of a thread-dig here, but I just got a PH1 and went straight to P (not rooted yet) and saw no WiFi. Wouldn't even turn on.
The phone came with 7.1.1 and I flashed P via fastboot. Tried rebooting and monkeying with it, but never saw any progress, no list of networks, etc.
7.1.1 did see WiFi for the 5 minutes I ran it.
Flashed latest stable 8.1 and it WiFi worked again immediately.
Then flashed 9 a second time and now WiFi works fine.
My best guess is the 7.1.1->9 transition has some kind of issue (doesn't quite make sense to me, given that I think EVERYTHING is being flashed by the 9 update, but this did fix it).

Just got my Essential Phone today as well and did the exact same thing, flashed straight from 7.1.1 to P. I thought I was seriously going to have to send the phone back due to a broken Wi-Fi chip or something. You are seriously a lifesaver!

If I take your post at face value... You have a bad flash and need to try again... Or blame your cable... And go buy a new one...
Otherwise... You have a bad download... Or there is something wrong wrong with your zip or batch/script... Or you're not completely unlocked
Listen guys, the issue is bc the ota zip for p doesnt flash both slots and the fastboot images zip doesnt either. If u look at the script (flashall. Bat) with a text editor it specifically shows only flashing one slot. To fix the wifi issue, u need the july oreo images file and that flashall. Bat flashes both slots and will fix the lost wifi and or Bluetooth. Once u do that, it reboots twice and go back to dev options and renable usb debugging. Now u reboot bootloader and flash p. Now it should all work. Also, in doing this, you will have to lose your data.
Same here but can't roll back to Oreo
See.issue here but I seem.to not be able.to resolve wifi issue or roll back to Oreo. When I try to reflash it just says it expects a newer version of is. Any ideas?

The reason is because one of the OTAs did not have the partition you're looking for... And it created a mismatch somewhere...
You DO NOT need to have the same software on A and B... It just makes troubleshooting easier from our perspective... And... It forces you to reflash and probably fix the problem...
As intended... There should ALWAYS be a mismatch between A and B... At least a monthly security update... If not an Android versioning difference
Edited. We are all just trying to help others. Lets keep it that way.
so, uhmmm like yea...... there is this thread here, called the stock images thread (link for posterity https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/development/stock-7-1-1-nmj20d-t3701681 ) this is firmware images, directly from essential. I have added the remaining images that you dont get from essential, so that way you can reflash, and get the same version of software on both sides. there are wipe and no wipe bat files in there, twrp11 (the working twrp we have), and the fix red boot (in case you broke verity), and a stockboot.img (coincidentally the same file as called boot in the zip, but renamed for your twrp/rooting pleasure).
These images work great, many many many people have used them to go back and forth between O and P, OTA, or recover from catastrophe. As usual, beware of dragons, make SURE SURE SURE SURE you have a working adb/fastboot environment (use the version that comes with essentials drivers) (you can always do ADB VERSION or FASTBOOT --VERSION ) to check your version and where its working out of. It is 1 stop shopping. I also know the guy that makes the zips

No prob, i understand the frustration.i assure you i was not guessing. I only post what i know is for sure. When faced with the exact same issue as OP i was forced to flash both slots to fix it. Yes, they could boot up with slightly different partitions, but the wifi was broken still. I believe the whole phone needed both slots flashed with each corresponding img simultaneously in order to resolve said issue. For whatever reason, i had both a and b screwed up. At the time i was trying to fix the ril and camera issues on the pixel 2 system image after flashing it on my essential. I want to get that working fully to release as a port.

Ok my friends, it's true that family moto g6 (specifically g6 play) will receive android 10? if it's possitive... When will we have news about this?
Also ... does anyone know if there is any rom in development with android 10 for this model (lineage, RR, etc.)?
If anyone knows about this, I think several would appreciate this valuable information.
Answer 1, just wait for Moto to announce it, usually they announce when there gonna do a soak test of a new Android version so whenever Moto does that will be some sort of answer however soak test usually go on for a few months basically it's prolly gonna be almost another year before we hear anything I mean we just got official pie about 2 months ago now after they did soak test for months.
Answer 2, there is not even a custom rom like rr or anything for this device for Oreo or pie so doubtable. Best you can do is try out gsi A only builds, custom rom means it's made specifically for this device where as gsi is compatible with any phone that shipped with Android 8. There is a gsi thread you can out
Answer 3: Motorola has already confirmed that the Moto G6 Play will only get one major OS upgrade, and being that we got Pie now that's all it will get unless a DEV figures out how to make a custom rom for Android 10.

I have no WiFi right now or I'd already be trying to build for us. They finally fixed the sources for our phone. Phh has Android 10 GSIs out. They'll boot if you flash the Oreo vendor, oem, and boot images first but it's very alpha at the moment. You also need to flash phh's modified magisk from his first Android 10 release. LTE is broken (3G works), and it has some graphics glitches. Most everything else is working fine though. It's not a daily driver yet but it's getting there fast. It will break LTE on stock. To fix that just flash your firmware and let it setup until it reactivates, then you can restore a backup like normal.

First flash the latest stock boot.img to remove any leftover traces of Magisk, which is now incompatible with phh's AOSP 10 builds.
After that you'll need to disable encryption and dm-verity, if you haven't already done that:
- Download the dm-verity + forced encryption disabler zip here
- Boot into TWRP, go to Wipe, and press Format Data. This will wipe everything from the internal storage! Make sure you have backups stored somewhere else.
- Reboot > Reboot Recovery
- Copy the disabler zip to your phone and flash it
Now the test image should be able to boot on Pie vendor.
(There might be other/better ways of doing this, but those are the steps that worked for me)

Did you format using the "yes" option? I tried those steps but couldn't get it to boot, but formatting with "yes" was the only thing that I didn't do. I didn't think it would be necessary because my encryption was already disabled.
Have you tried flashing Viper4android? It might make the sound work since it uses it's own drivers and has to gain root access. I'd try the one by zackptg5, the same guy who makes the disabler.

I'll check it out and see what I can do. That's not surprising though. It's extremely alpha, so he's probably just prioritizing stock functionality over everything else right now.
I can't get it rooted, but v202 just went up, so I'm going to try my luck with it.
[UPDATE]:
**********
I got sick of my phone telling me I needed to update but I couldn't because I'm rooted. So finally got around to patching the last full ROM today w/ the incremental.
This is the fastbootd w/ flash_all.bat script to update to 11.0.12.12.KB05AA. The package for KB05AA (Global/US) is not yet available, hence I'm still making it available here. Be sure to alter the flash script (remove the "rem" before boot.img and recovery.img if you DO NOT want to keep your custom kernel + TWRP) ****************
3.14 GB file on MEGA
mega.nz
THIS IS ONLY FOR 11.0.9.9.KB05AA, BUT READ IT ANYWAY!!!!: ***************
I think this is the first time anyone has actually made a working incremental update for a rooted OOS device, or any with a payload.bin update method that I know of. This method doesn't require any wiping and TWRP / rooted boot.img / custom OOS kernel can be installed right after the script finishes (or left on the device), and you don't even change your active slot (usually, incremental updates will flash to the inactive slot).
I won't get into that many specifics except it was EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, but it works now. Read here if you want to do it yourself in the future, or on another phone. Should work on just about any phone that uses payload.bin files https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...11-0-9-9-kb05aa-posted.4314677/#post-85425949
You may have to edit the .bat file to pick your RAM type (the lp5 ones are for devices with LPDDR5; it is preset for most of the phones using the LPDDR4 RAM). On the Op8T at least you can do this from adb shell:
adb shell getprop ro.boot.ddr_type; where a 0 is LPDDR4 and 1 is LPDDR5 ram. If it's 1 returned, you need to flash the lp5 files instead of the same named otherwise files in the .bat file (so edit it).
That weird -cow stuff is temp files that prevented the update from working. Not documented anywhere I could find (well, minimally explained by Google), took hours to figure out they were filling the super partition up. I had to re-engineer a Linux project (linked above) to get this working, and have officially updated from 11.0.8.13 to 11.0.9.9 COMPLETELY now. While rooted, without switching slots, and TWRP installed.
You just have to ensure you're on the latest ADB and Fastboot tools and an adb reboot bootloader, followed by a fastboot reboot fastboot should get you there. You can check with: fastboot getvar is-userspace
If it says yes, you're in fastbootd. It actually will work with TWRP installed, I found out later, as long as you reboot in TWRP to fastboot and confirm with the command above you're in fastbootd.
https://github.com/fawazahmed0/Latest-adb-fastboot-installer-for-windows/releases/tag/v1.7 has a script that will get you the Latest ADB and Fastboot and put it in a folder for you.
I uploaded it to Mega. Just use some common sense and look at the flash_all.bat file before flashing. I'd write more but I'm tired as hell from getting this working. Now we'll never have to wait for an incremental update while rooted again, at least in the foreseeable future.
I'm just going to leave this here

That never worked for me and others, Always resulted in either bootloop or booting back to previous build

I've mentioned it multiple times for people having issues. They need to use the unbrick tool cause there is something wrong with the original rom install from OnePlus.

It's good that you found a band-aid fix.

Of course I tried that solution first, it didn't work on my device.
I'm glad it did on others' devices, kudos to you for posting it (and I DO appreciate your work), but this is the only one that worked on mine. Why? Who knows. I also followed another guide that didn't work. Or else I wouldn't have wasted all my time making this (it took many, many hours to assemble). I'm not saying it's the best solution (I really hope someone just uses what I put in the other thread and assembles it into an easier format for others to use), but I have a full time job (2 actually) so I can't work on it anymore. But it works, no data loss, and TWRP can be installed. Until the next incremental update comes out, then I'll post another version using the tools I used for this, if your build doesn't work on my device. But only when I have the time...

LoL band-aid fix... Call it whatever you want, it works.
It's actually a patched 11.0.8.3.KB05AA with the incremental update applied to it for 11.0.9.9.KB05AA. So it flashes to the active slot and TWRP / rooted custom kernel can all be installed at the same time, even while you are still rooted with Magisk, and even if TWRP is installed. No data loss. I never claimed perfection on this project, just that it works for me.
Keep doing what you're doing, I'll keep doing what I'm doing. We both just aim to help others anyway. I just couldn't get any other method to work so I came up with this one, extending on the incomplete / abandoned work of others. I didn't come up with Payload extraction. Never claimed to. I didn't come up with fastbootd flashing either.
All the forked and modified code is at my GitHub repo. The fork goes back to several other devs' forks (mine is the 3rd modified fork).
Someone want to point me to the right download for the incremental update to 11.0.9.9.KB05AA? I got a download link but if it's not for this exact ROM, it would be dangerous (I don't know what would break) if I applied it and patched the incremental 11.0.9.9 (which is like a full ROM in the way I distribute it here). I believe the update is 11.0.10.10.KB05AA. I tried downloading as illustrated in the linked thread and it halfway installed (Op8T's don't seem to like the "remove Magisk images" and then install the update method, it totally jacked up my system (like long boot time, alarms didn't work, numbers wouldn't always appear to login to the phone after reboot, etc.), luckily I had backed up Super in TWRP and that fixed it (upon a restore). The one someone told me was the official link to the incremental update did not work with the Linux program I hacked, so it's either incapable of patching an incremental 2x, or I got the wrong file downloaded. My life is so crazy at the moment I don't have time to screw up my phone just to get the incremental update downloaded on my phone and extract it, so if anyone has already done that, please let me know.

Better to install the full ROM
Download Oxygen Updater in app store and select your device AA for global and Ba for European device.
Go to settings, system update wait til 100% and Don't reboot yet if you want to keep Root
Go to Magisk and install ota in inactive slot

I think maybe you misunderstood what I did in this thread. I patched a full ROM with the incremental update of 11.0.9.9.KB05AA. So while OnePlus does not have a full ROM available for download (yet), it is available for download here.
Yeah the method you propose is the "normal" rooted way, but if you're rooted already it forces you to full ROMs not OTAs. You'll be on 11.0.8.3.KB05AA. The goal here is to get on 11.0.10.10.KB05AA (someone NOT ROOTED could download the OTA update using Oxygen Updater and upload it here so I could make a patched version for those that want to keep their root / custom kernel / TWRP / etc and avoid the hassle of unrooting first, which wipes your data partition). At least my Oxygen Updater won't let me download incremental updates even with Magisk Images removed (don't try this unless you're on Op8 / Op8 Pro; some people are having big system update issues on Op8T incremental hence why this thread exists.) It jacked up my system pretty bad (Magisk images removed, Settings / System / System Updates method) until after a boot.img and super restore from TWRP. Not all devices were setup the same (mine is a US carrier converted to US KB05AA). To my knowledge, no direct download has been posted for KB05AA incremental update. Here or on TG. If you have found one, please post a link here. The only one out I've seen works on European ROMs. OnePlus always does KB05AA last for whatever reason.
11.0.10.10.KB05AA posted with caveats - please back up your data as suggested in case the Phone Services APK doesn't fix your SIM after a flash, and you end up formatting the data partition. You may want to try some other methods or just plan on restoring (not with TWRP Alpha in my experience).

Guys, bad news. So 11.0.10.10.KB05AA incremental does something to the data partition and kills your SIM access.

I successfully update from 9.9 to 10.10 including keeping root. I have no issues with my Sim card. So, for me, the update is fine.
However, I believe that the 10.10 update includes a key change. This results in the data partition being unreadable if you swap back to the previous slot after the update. I found this out by doing just that using TWRP.
But syncing the 10.10 firmware to the inactive slot fixes this. It might be possible (I haven't tried it) to just sync the keymaster partition to the inactive slot and then restore 9.9 (excluding keymaster).

Can you explain how you managed to update it? I'm screwed at this point anyhow, would like to hear how you did it. Are you just saying when you update flash to both slots and the data is still readable? Instead of flashing to active only? I still have the extracted / patched ROM, not going to try it out now (or for a while) unless I know someone has figured out a way to make it not break the system data. (Note: I'm on a very hacked phone; it's a carrier T-mobile originally fastbootd converted to Global, then updated on Global since then). I realize most people probably don't have a phone that's been altered this much. Then the easier methods are more likely to work. I'm also running a custom fork (mine) of RadioActive kernel (just tweaked how I like it, wakelocks blocked to save idle battery, some GPU frequencies added, etc). I tried running just the patched boot.img with Magisk but still Phone Services was busted.
@mslezak, When I get an update I:
- use a terminal session (you could also use ADB) to restore the stock boot and recovery (this way I don't lose root yet)
- install the update but don't reboot
- copy the new boot image and patch it
- turn on airplane mode (to avoid SafetyNet and certification issues in the next step)
- reboot the phone and the updated system comes up
- flash the patched boot image and TWRP in fastboot/bootloader
- reboot and disable airplane mode
This is basically @osm0sis' process from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ices-platforms.2239421/page-149#post-84764713
No, I'm not saying flash to both slots, because that will make it impossible to fall back to the current system if the update fails (though this is meaningless if you're manually flashing partitions).
I've got into the habit of syncing active to inactive (after I'm happy with the update) simply because it's required when going from OOS to a custom ROM (I use a shell script based on the LineageOS sync zip). And, after the sync, I can now access the data partition from the inactive slot (which wasn't the case just after the update due to the different keys).

LoL I gave up fastbootd flashed to 11.0.10.10.KB05AA and formatted data, let Google download everything it backed up, and am back in business. Just have a lot of apps to login to / Magisk modules to add / etc.
So yeah my patched 11.0.10.10.KB05AA works but the data must be formatted or the SIM doesn't work (at least for me; I don't know if anyone else has tried it since I just posted it a few hours ago; it could be that it works for some without causing issues, I don't have any idea). The goal was to not have to mess up the data partition.... but I can't control what OnePlus does in their updates... Try what worked for others posted here first I'd suggest, or just make solid backups of everything knowing you're going to likely need to reinstall / re-login to everything and format the data partition. New pin, new fingerprint, etc. Re-login to your wifi blah blah.
It's still a full unreleased ROM so I posted it for those that don't mind taking backups (outside of TWRP) if they want to keep root & TWRP on the new release... Yeah a pain to setup if you aren't warned to use another backup method (maybe there is a better backup method, maybe Migrate (app store early access) is developed enough for easy transfer now, I know many people said it worked well in the past but haven't been following the updates. Still free).
It dawned on me later that since the only thing that didn't work using this method going from 11.0.9.9.KB05AA to 11.0.10.10.KB05AA was phone services, that I should just include the working version in this post. Since I already did it the hard way and restored everything back to normal. AS I SAID ABOVE, IF PHONE SERVICES ISN'T ENOUGH TO FIX THE ISSUE, PM ME AND I CAN EXTRACT MORE RELATED FILES UNTIL IT WORKS AGAIN. Unfortunately, I can't just downgrade to 11.0.9.9.KB05AA and keep trying fastbootd over and over again as I don't have the time.

The whole point of this is to AVOID the unbrick tool, reinstalling an outdated version, updating each new ROM build since the brick tool was made, and starting over clean. I think... Have a hunch at least we're almost there on 11.0.10.10.KB05AA with an APK install... Although just backing up everything first will always work (if you don't mind formatting your data partition) just as it's posted here already. Always an issue for us rooted users (especially on Global) since we're always last in line to get a full ROM. This IS a full ROM, payload extracted and patched with incremental updates. Still not available from OnePlus Global (KB05AA) as I checked today, so still relevant.
Ladies and Gents,
I have removed some off topic posts from this thread because I believe we could express the same meaning in more civil words. Please try to do that from now on.
Thanks.
