Confused about version labeling - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

OK so I'm going to try and explain my confusion. I'm on oos13 and don't care for it at all. I want to rollback to the latest version of 11. now while searching for the latest I get confused on the different designations. I see 11.0.9.9, IN2025_11_C.36, 15.O.41_OTA_0410. So basically I would like to know what the different labeling means and what I need to look for. Also the msmdownload tool I have goes back to early 11 release and I would like to use the latest version to avoid having to download updates. How would I do this? I noticed that the firmware is .ops but I haven't been able to find an .ops file. I hope this makes sense.

You will always have to update after using MSM, there are no newer MSM files available.
As to the labels the only thing I know is that C.xx indicates OOS 12 while F.xx is OOS 13. The good old 11.x.x.x is OOS 11 and after that OP started using Oppo's labels which are just confusing lol.
If you want the latest OOS 11 version then that would be 11.0.11.11 which (on my 8P with EU firmware at least) is 15.E.42_OTA_0420 followed by a long number.

Open Beta Not Flashing ( Vendor Partition Problem )

I have Oneplus 5, I was initially running Open Beta 14, I installed Mokee ROM for Android P and later again flashed OP5 to OxygenOS 5.1.3 Android 8.1 using Qualcom MSM Tool.
But I am not able to Flash Open Beta(s) now,, I tried Open beta 13 and 15, none worked.
I clean wiped using stock recovery, didnot work.
Wiped using TWRP by BluSparx 3.2.3 - vendor still not mounted( as it doesnot exists) and - still Open Beta not flashed after wipe.
I also switched to Android 7.1.1 and tried installing Open Beta 13 and 15 - still didnot work.
Please help me switch to Open Beta ROM for Oxygen OS Oneplus 5
First flash open beta 12 then you can flash ob 14 or 15.

Have you read the post above yours? It's mandatory to update to a special ob first so vendor partition will be created.
It's not made clear in the installation notes for OB14, 15, 16 etc but yes as @bkma says, you need to flash OB 12 first if you are coming from non-OB.

The problem is that oneplus did not implement clean flashing of every beta/stable. The updates are always seamless ota updates, hence its not possible for normal users to skip updates and continue with ob16 when coming from OB11 for example.
That's a thing people don't understand here. The process provided by oneplus is fool proof, but when you did not follow the official way, it can be hard, as always.
Therefore its not mentioned in later open beta changelogs or installation instructions. It was mentioned when vendor partition came up.

I see where you are coming from, and you're right, if you were on the Open Beta program all along, this is fool proof.
I bought a new OnePlus 5 about a month ago, I think OB14 was the latest beta release about then. I had not been messing around with rooting, 3rd party roms, kernels, twrp, anything like that. I was just looking for OnePlus official way to get on to the latest beta. It took me a bit of searching through old forum posts (posts which were made before the time I was even thinking of getting a OP5) to find out how to do it.
The information on the OnePlus website currently is insufficient for new beta users to install it from stable. (unless if you go digging through the old release notes) It's not a complaint, just pointing out that it is a subtlety of going to the latest OB that people would have to be aware of if they are new to the OP5 (or if they have recently decided to move from stable to beta).

Hi everyone, as only a few versions of unbrick tool are available here and that they allow to rollback to specific versions of Oxygen OS I decided to search for more and succeeded in that.
As the instructions and Qualcomm drivers are already available here, I don't feel a need to rewrite them.

Hi. Thanks for sharing all the links. I"m trying to download DECRYPTED OOS 5.0.3 and it's really slow (like 40KBPS). Is it possible to upload these files to a different host? Thanks!

Unfortunately no as I do not know any other provider hosting for free such an amount of files (I have same thread for OP3/5/5T/6/6T/7/7 Pro).
You could however select the mirror the more near to your location when downloading via AFH to get a faster download speed.

I tried it again from another server and this time it downloaded at 9MBPS! I got the file!
Thanks a load for sharing all these files! The normal "unbrick your phone" by flashing Android 6 wasn't working for me. From your link I was able to download the file for Android 8 (Oxygen 5.0.3). And it worked! My phone got unbricked finally!
A note to everyone: For whomever the earlier unbrick step doesn't work, you need to try downloading some other Oxygen OS (different Android version than the one you tried earlier).
I'm going to make a post in the main "unbrick" thread and let other people know about this. Once again, thanks a lot for posting these files and saving my phone!

Except that normally you shouldn't need to turn off driver signature enforcement and that drivers should automatically be downloaded and installed if you're on Windows 10 that's it yeah.

thanks @Some_Random_Username ... it was a breeze ... my windows 100 let me flash it effortlessly without having to turn off driver signature enforcement feature ... can't thank you enough for this thread which collates the various versions that are directly flashable ... its a delight to get back directly to the latest official ROM and the MSM software is smooth no issues there ... i believe this is MSM software is akin the the RSD light Motorola devices have !!!
Hope you are able to update this thread with all future official upgrade versions !!!
Did you repack this tool kit for Android Pie yourself ?

Well, not to be pessimistic but firstly OnePlus would need to deliver one last update for this device as November is when they should drop support as per their software maintenance schedule thread https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oneplus-software-maintenance-schedule.862347/ .
No, I didn't repack it for Pie by myself, I just managed to get it from OnePlus.

What is the latest stock/beta Oreo 8.1 I can get on the 5?

I just picked up the 5 for a family member. She needs working Xposed (or rather, *I* need working Xposed to set everything up well), so no Pie. What is the latest Oreo I can get? The official ROM mirror thread lists 5.1.7 for stable and, for some reason, two open beta 21 zips. OOS has releases up to 5.1.11 on other Oneplus devices. Am I right in assuming they didn't release them for the 5? Is OB 21 farther along than 5.1.7? If so, which of the two zips should I be using? I apologize for posting, but neither search nor bruteforce reading of threads has yielded an answer.
The fixes listed in post-5.1.7 releases look valuable. "Fixed system stability issues", for one. Am I jut SOL on those?
Cheers,

You can find download links (including mirrors) of all the OxygenOS Oreo builds for the OnePlus 5 from here. OxygenOS 5.1.7 (the last stable build based on Android 8.1 Oreo) was released after OxygenOS Open Beta 21 (the last open beta build based on Android 8.1 Oreo), so I suggest you go for the stable build as it might have some patches that aren't there in the open beta build.

Yeah, I've seen the mirror thread obviously - and even started trying to read all of it. It's brilliant. However, while it lists all of the available stock/OB zips, what it doesn't do is actually explain what they contain and the chronology, hence my questions. Thanks for the info, much appreciated. Would've taken me ages if not for your help mate

Multiple issues - Advise on clean-slate reset?

Apologies for cryptic title. My Mi A1 has multiple issues and a patchy update history. I don't know how to narrow this down to a single, simple question. Hope someone can help to make sense of this.
History: Bought new with stock Android One, Oreo. Few months later updated to Android One, Pie (official update). This caused big problems with wifi (connections constantly dropped and VERY slow downloads). Thought about reverting to Oreo, but decided to change to Lineage (which at the time was Oreo). So I downgraded from Android One Pie to Lineage 15 (Oreo). Generally worked OK, but with 3 big problems:
1. No sound during phone calls (I can't hear them, they can't hear me). Found a workaround involving editing the build.prop file (sorry, can't post link), but fix is temporary and needs regular re-boots.
2. Fingerprint sensor not working (no options to set fingerprint).
3. Camera app lost functionality related to dual lens.
I subsequently updated from LOS 15 (Oreo) to LOS 16 (Pie). Issues still there.
I wonder if I have some missing/incompatible vendor firmware components, but I don't really understand how this works. If I download and install, say, a LOS rom, does it contain EVERYTHING my phone needs to work, or do I need to already have some proprietary bits somewhere on the phone?
Is my best bet to start afresh (clean slate) and if so what would you recommend? Any help/insight greatly appreciated!
Hey pal, the Android Pie Firmware has some kind of anti-roll back protection, so when you install a non-pie ROM such as LOS 15 using Pie Firmware you'll have that problems like no-fingerprint, no incall audio, etc. If you install an Oreo Firmware with an Oreo ROM, you'll have fingerprint but no IMEI/Signal (and other problems).
You have 2 options:
1) Update your firmware to the latest Pie version and install a ROM like Pixel Experience or HavocOS (both Pie) and you're set, IMEI, Signal, Audio and Fingerprints will be working OK.
2) Install the latest Pie compilation using MiFlash and leave it stock.
Greetings.
Thanks for prompt reply! Can you spell something out for me please?
Regarding 1) I have already updated to LOS 16, which is Pie. Is that what you meant by "update your firmware to the latest pie"? Or do you mean a stock firmware? If the latter, then I could find a MIUI rom (from en.miui.com) but not Android One.
Regarding 2) Again, by "latest Pie compilation" do you mean the stock rom, like the MIUI mentioned above?
Thanks

Android 12.1 ROM comparisons.

I have the unofficial LOS 19.1 currently installed. Other than the lack of TWRP, I'm satisfied with it. But I see there are two other options available. official and crDroid. Is there any reason I should switch to one of those two? Are there differences in the recovery versions? If TWRP was available, I'd just make a backup of my current ROM and give the other two a try. But as it stands, getting back to my working current version isn't that simple.
Why do you have unofficial?

Because it came out first and I haven't been given a sound reason to switch. Why fix what ain't broken?
I like to use the official version. They provide weekly firmware updates.

To each his own. Personally, I don't care about weekly updates. Unless an update fixes something that I use, or it includes a major security update, I don't care about it. Manually updating every couple of months does it for me.
I am also in unofficial build for now but the official thing is making me wanna try it...but should we just flash it and format data or should be flash recovery provided too?
I would follow LineageOS guide. You will use something other than TWRP. You then use one of LineageOS. This one is quite limited but looks nice (not very important). But I don't need all the features of TWRP, I don't understand it anyway. LOL
