Flashing OOS on Chinese OP6T (A6010) that comes with H2OS

I am getting a Chinese OP6T that comes with H2OS in 2 weeks time. Any easy way (guide) to flash stock OOS to this Chinese phone A6010? Thanks in advance.

just unlock the bootloader and sideload the oos.zip (full) in stock recovery then flash it from there. you could also do fastboot method. works on my oneplus device since the 3/3T days.

Have you done it for oneplus 6T yourself? I was wondering whether the A/B partitions in OP6T will have a different approach to flash...
Thank you.

according to my friend chinese oneplus 6
you only need a full flash zip of oos and just local update from updater in the phone
no need to unlock bootloader
PS. and no need to factory reset too, but i still recommend to reset it

I am from China, and use Chinese OP6T (A6010) that comes with H2OS
just like fangchunxi1999 says, put full OOS zip on 6t sdcard, local update from updater in the phone setting
after finish, do a factory reset, OOS now!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I will do the same when I get hold of my phone. I asked someone to hand carry for me.
By the way, do you root your phone too?

Interestingly enough I just bought a 6t in China and I have been thinking about this.
- Question for you. Will you still be in China? If not, or you are planning a vacation somewhere, OnePlus support will actually help you flash OOS on your device. This only works outside of China though (even if you have a VPN).
- For others: what is the big difference between H2OS and OOS? I considered flashing, but I have a trip outside of China in a week so I was thinking I can just wait until then and let OnePlus do the flash for me. For now though, I have installed all the apps I want including Google apps and a VPN. Is there any real reason I would want to flash to OOS instead of just leaving it as H2OS? Thanks for any answers.

No. I am in Malaysia. I ask someone who happen to be there to bring it back for me. Dont think there is a oneplus support Centre here.

This isn't at a support center. I just asked used OnePlus support online and they can do it for you through a PC with Windows installed.

Just got Device is corrupted, dont know how to restore it back. Someone said I could use MMSDownloadTool but there was not a version for HydrogenOS. I wonder I could use this from International MMSDownloadTool but I'm so afraid I would brick my Chinese variant device.

Well here's a question. If I wanted to flash h2os onto my international unlocked op6t could I do the same method just reversed?

In all honesty, you can either:
Unlock the bootloader back and just use the device as is or sideload the OOS.zip or you can try the global tool and hope for the best, since unless you unlock, the device is unusable anyways, if someone can get the Chinese variants tool it would be a Chinese user, others can’t request it..you’re better off contacting OP via chat and push for an OS reflash until they oblige and make an appointment with a tech to remote flash for you.

Well I would guess they work vice verse, worse case it doesn’t work, you can always use the msm tool to recover.

Guys i want to flash OOS on my 6T A6010(chinese), but i can't do it from updater neither from recovery... How i can flash oxygen? Some guys adviced me to try the download tool but i have to unlock bootloader. do you think is it safe to do that? Hope in your help...

i found a solution, thank you anyway

I have tried de system update method, but I receive the message "The version of your selected package is lower than that of the current system. to avoid booting up failure, downgrading is not allowed"
Help!

I installed the hydrogen os a few days ago, and it was a nightmare.the boot animation was neat. And the oppo play store has more recent updates than play..

after switching to OOS, will one still get OTAs?

Where can I get the h2os full zip?

If you are unlocked and running a global rom, you can try but take the stock kernel boot.img backup just in case it loops. Its best to rewrite all partitions on the T mobile device if you are unlocked which can be done by using the unbrick tool once :good:
Edit: You should follow this thread for a detailed discussion :good:

U may have to change the device check for any op6 kernel...they all boot. I tested every kernel. Flash rules.. And we can't use the tool to rewrite the critical partitions, we don't have access to them..can u please see why we cannot access them even with fastboot oem unlock_critical? We are all totally unlocked

T-Mobile users currently cannot use the unbrick tool to overwrite critical partitions due to a hardware/software check that mismatches.

All these files are possessed by the support staff who generally share those during a remote session and there on those are further uploaded. So someone with t-mobile variant can contact support and try getting the tool.

I am on tmo model flashed with international software and run in ex kernel. I did make a backup of stock kernel before hand

Yeah, as the contract is new only the senior executives will have access to the t-mob unbrick tool and it would definitely be encrypted/password protected. Let us know how was your experience and thank your for the heads up :good:

U cannot bypass....just be patient

Yeah, for real, I completely flipped when Xiaomi put a bootloader wait period on one of my devices. I caused as much a fuss as I could, emailed Xiaomi's support in several regions and researched extensively.
There's literally nothing you can do. Xiaomi has complete control over bootloader unlock authorization. As far as I'm aware there's no exploits and even staff at Xiaomi can't/won't override it.
Rest assured when that timer hits 0 you're good to go. Though for now, use the device as normal or switch it off and place it in a drawer for a couple of weeks if it bugs you too much. Just whatever you do, don't reflash it or attempt to change the account on the device; the timer will reset.
Once it's unlocked, avoid relocking it. There's no advantage to relocking the device when flashing images, it won't do a thing.
If you use MiFlash tool, it's worthwhile deleting the scripts suffixed with "lock" in the update folder when doing a fastboot flash from a PC (flash_all_lock.bat and flash_all_lock.sh, you don't want to go near flash_factory.sh/bat either - I'm confused as to why Xiaomi even includes that file in their update zips).
Always use flash_all.bat / flash_all.sh. Bonus tip: edit both files with notepad and remove the line which restarts the device (fastboot reboot is the line if I remember correctly). This way you can skip booting into MIUI and immediately push a custom recovery using fastboot boot C:/path/recovery.img (or fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, boot is temporary).
Ps. Be sure to overwrite that "device unlocked" boot image if you're feeling meticulous.

actually you can bypass it but the solution is not free and very xpensive

My friend has redmi note 5 and for unlock waiting I read somewhere that if you use some old version of Mi tool it would skip the waiting and it did. Is there similar solution for redmi note 7?

How to downgrade from 11.0.1.1.in11aa back to OS11

Hi since updating my oneplus 8 pro in2020 to stable build 11.0.1.1.in11aa I have lost the ability to connect to 5g on my phone, even though there were some other improvements (like battery life) I would rather downgrade to stable build 11.0.0.0. I am very new at this and my device is not rooted, is there any way to downgrade without wiping the device? I know oneplus released a downgrade package to oxygen 10, and then you can upgrade to 11 from there, but doing this would make me lose all data. Is there a simpler way to downgrade straight to 11 without the whole procedure? Thank you.

If you go for MSM which you may do, then no.
You could perhaps get a full img and go that way but I've not done this myself.
Check the MSM thread, chances are this questions been asked and answered.
Also saw a thread for 11AA too with a full zip so check that one out too.

You can use "downgrade.zip"from 11 to 10.
I don't understand why people guide you to MSM tool. That is for bricked devices and is the last resort.
Anyway downgrade will wipe youre phone clean.

Did you read my post? I tried to dissuade from using MSM!
Plus you just provided the same answer I did? In so many words.
I've always told people that MSM is an excessive resort to mundane issues, I'm far from a person who advises to use it without due diligence and an alternative that may work.

i faced same issue, follow this guide and once you done u will get your 5g Back + volte.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ejLtVQTpXZaB5XGNOBRI5dZV4GpuCKtHOGo6v49hWdY/edit#
after that if you dont need to root and relock your bootoarder flash with msm.

I did a full downgrade to 10 with the rollback package from oneplus and then reupdated to 11.0.0.0, thanks for the suggestions though!

Clarification question regarding rebranding a tmo 6t.

I've had my 6t for a while now. When I got it I followed this guide, https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-flash-twrp-root-nandroid-efs-backup.3851789/ , and all was good until I tried to update. Everything continued to work but it broke root. ( I later learned I shouldn't have tried to run the OTA.)
Anyway. I'd like to get rid of the T-MO branded ROM. I just need some clarification. I'm on 10.3.4 currently. SIM and bootloader are unlocked. TWRP 3.4.0.0 is installed. So that being said do I have to follow the MSMDownload guide and convert to international, then go about updating to current, or can I just grab the most recent oxygen or lineage release and flash that ( preferably OxygenOS)? I assume that since my bootloader is already unlocked I can just flash from TWRP, but I've seen conflicting comments. From what I can tell I have flash everything to both slots, is that correct? Do I need to upgrade TWRP? Finally re-flash Magisk for root.
My end goal is just a non T-MO branded OxygenOS that I can update. From what I've seen I can do local upgrade once running OxygenOS. Is there a specific process for upgrading oxygenos once its running. I've seen you have to remove Magisk modules etc before running it.
Thanks!

You pretty much got everything down as you said. Convert, Update to current, and you are golden. If you want to try LOS then that is in a completely different ballpark.

@j1tters Here's how I converted my T-Mobile 6t to global. Hope this helps.

Thanks, that post was helpful. Was smooth sailing until trying to get it to boot into twrp via fastboot. Reboots and just sits at the fastboot screen. Not sure if there is an issue with twrp-3.4.0-11 for fajita. Tried 3.4.0.0 also. Same issue.
Going to try updating with Oxygen Updater then see if its happier with twrp..
Is there a specific version of TWRP I need to get it to boot?

Got twrp taken care of but I'm a bit confused by magjisk v22. Looks like flashing from recovery isnt the preferred way anymore?

Rename the magisk22.apk to magisk.22.zip and yes it can then be flashed in twrp.
