Question About the Beta P Program on Verizon

So I have a few questions about the android P beta program. I was wondering if anyone could answer before I opt into it
1) if I opt into I get ota updates which won't be Verizon variants so would I be able to jump back to Oreo?
2)would this allow me to unlock my bootloader possibly?

1) You should be able to go back to oreo by opting out of the beta and taking the subsequent ota from Google. Or you can manually flash a newer ota you downloaded from your computer. Must be a newer build than the the one you are on.
2) Almost certainly not. Unless there is some error, your bootloader will not be unlockable. You are not currently receiving "Verizon" builds. No such thing. Your device info is on a server side whitelist / blacklist. It has nothing to do with the build you have installed. That is my understanding.

Im not sure i understood this properly, I've already unlocked the bootloader of my Verizon pixel 2 on 8.1, if I update to P, will the bootloader be locked back? Or I can update and still enjoy the unlocked bootloader?
Thanks!

If you unlocked the bootloader already, it will stay unlocked until you lock it via fastboot from your computer. Flashing firmware will not relock it. Don't worry, updating to Android p won't mess with that.
I'm really enjoying this beta so far. The new navigation gestures are cool. Nothing so far that makes me want to go back to 8.1.

What version of magisk are you flashing? You should be using the beta magisk. Looks like people are having some success rooting with version 16.4.

i'm trying to flash magisk using this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/guide-how-to-install-google-software-t3760535 but as soon as i launch fastboot boot [twrp image filename].img, it loads up twrp (i see the splash screen) but right after it crashed and reboot.. so i'm not able to flash magisk beta
is there a way to install magisk manager (beta) and being able to patch the boot.img without passing through twrp?
thanks again and sorry for all my questions!

That's correct. Just checking. You need to boot to twrp to flash magisk. There isn't another way that I know of. Maybe download twrp img again? I doubt its a corrupt download since you get the twrp splash screen, but its worth a try.

no luck
should i try to flash again the factory image?
or maybe opt out from androind p beta, install back oreo, root and flash android p without deleting my data?

You can boot into the OS right? Are you're platform tools the latest version?
Reverting back to oreo, rooting, and updating to p beta will either fail or wipe out root. You won't end up with p beta and root. Don't do that.

Sounds like you did something wrong. In order to receive help you need to write in detail what you did, what files you flashed/used and in which order.

1. i fix my brick with OnePlus 6_Hydrogen5.1.3_hardbrick
2.update to 9.0.5 in update software
3.unlock bootloader with adb pc
4.flash with adb twrp-3.2.3-1-enchilada / twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.96_op6
And when I try to get into the recovery he shows me a blue screen with blue LED light
Or looking at me as an error Qualcomm crash dump mode
And the normal system also does not work after it has to again the OnePlus 6_Hydrogen5.1.3_hardbrick for fixed

oneplus 7 Pro , trying to update to Android 10

I had a oneplus 6 and that updated to android 10 a while ago.
Now I recieved a oneplus 7 pro. But the problem is it will not update to android 10.
Tried a system update check, Said up to date.
Contacted oneplus they mentioned the local file upgrade
Downloaded that ZIP and tried again, it tells me system update installation failed.
I am rooted and have TWRP installed as well as magisk.
Considered flashing from TWRP, but since it is an official system update not sure how that would work.
Is this my best option or anyone have an idea on why it fails.?
Tried different suggestions, nothing seemed to work. Did not try to delete cache yet.

Updater didnt work, but ended up booting from local updater after the file was downloaded.
Then I ended up doing local update with the update from oneplus latest.
Now I am working on redoing TWRP. It is sticking on fastboot mode after doing a fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-4-guacamole.img
Just hope I didnt mess something up when I did the TWRP Magisk A/B retention script.
May try a different TWRP boot img

Newest TWRP worked fine.
ReInstalled Magisk.
All Data and apps are good.
Few minor issues but nothing to serious.
Thanks for all your help !!

2nd attempt to upgrade to 12.2.4.0 from 12.0.4.0 failed and resulting in storage wipe

Hi,
I would like to know if anybody encountered this. This is my second time encountering this issue. I was on 12.0.4 and received a notification to perform update to 12.4.0. After downloading and rebooting, my twrp launched and after a few seconds instead of flashing, it went to the main menu page. After that, the phone just goes to fastboot mode and refused to boot. My phone has been rooted with magisk. Much appreciated for experts inputs.
The only way for me to boot my phone is to do a clean flash using mi flash tool and fallback to the old version...
Thank you.

V12.0.4.0.QJKMIXM is a android 10 stable rom and V12.2.4.0.RJKMIXM is a android 11 stable beta rom which has many bugs.
V12.2.4.0.RJKEUXM is a stable rom that you can flash with miflash(but EEA not global).

After successfully going to v12.2.4.0, now I am finding that my current TWRP 3.4.1b unable to decrypt the phone thus not able to root it. I guess I have to fall back to 12.0.4.0 to be safe... I was tempted to go to 12.2.4.0 due to android 11 but looks like it's too problematic now due to beta. I was actually wondering why beta was pushed to me.

Thanks, so you updated with stock recovery without issues but are you able to flash twrp with the updated rom?

Yes i am able to successfully flashed twrp via fastboot afterward and directly proceed to root using magisk.
Everything works as usual, except, for me atleast, twrp now require pattern-type (3x3 dot) as password for decryption. Pin or character doesnt works.

Deleted.

To solve update problem you need to Rollback to stable stock rom, I used this:
Code:
lmi_global_images_V12.2.4.0.RJKMIXM_20201228.0000.00_11.0_global
extracted it.
then used mi flash from this toolkit:

sorry, but I cant provide links to downloads.

This is nothing new. With the bootloader unlock you can flash any version of stock rom with miflash.

Successfully updated to 12.2.4.0. However, my nova launcher has been 'uninstalled' after this upgrade and I am unable to reinstall it with install fail error coming up. I am installing from apk. Anybody has this issue?

Question [FIXED] Hard Bricked LE2115

Background:
I unlocked the bootloader and then proceeded to flash the device from 12 to 11 using THIS tutorial. When I got to the first "fastboot reboot fastboot" the phone never rebooted. The screen is all black. I can't get into recovery or back into fastboot using the button method.
I downloaded the MSM Global tool and got all the drivers installed. I was able to start the flashing process but get "Device not match image" early in the process. I have called OnePlus customer service. They didn't ask any questions just told me to send in the phone. I would rather fix this myself if possible. Any insight and or help is much appreciated.

UPDATE: I found this information, and it had me flash the India 9 Pro version. It worked. I have a booting phone and can now work on getting it back to the US version.

I wish people would stop following the guide for fastboot flashing. Just use the MSM while it still recognizes your device because if fastboot flashing fails, you end up having to flash it multiple times as it's not recognizing it as the correct unit anymore with that level of corruption.
To get back to global firmware, flash this in the local upgrade tool.
https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/OnePlus9Oxygen_22.O.11_OTA_0110_all_2107082125_downgrade_059624cc7298428b.zip
It is the global downgrade package. It will wipe your phone and when it comes back, you will be back on global software.
After you flash that, go to OTA upgrade and it will say it's going to download C.48 but it will actually install 11.2.10.10 and then you will have the latest OOS11.
If you download it directly to the phone or copy it over with a PC, the file may disappear. Enable USB debugging and use adb.
adb push nameof.zip /sdcard/

It is the global downgrade package. It will wipe your phone and when it comes back, you will be back on global software.
After you flash that, go to OTA upgrade and it will say it's going to download C.48 but it will actually install 11.2.10.10 and then you will have the latest OOS11.
If you download it directly to the phone or copy it over with a PC, the file may disappear. Enable USB debugging and use adb.
adb push nameof.zip /sdcard/

Thanks for that! The phone is back to fulling functioning with the proper version of OOS. It has been a long time since I rooted and ROMed. Fastboot used to be a straightforward method of flashing a stock ROM. Doesn't seem like it is anymore.

Glad that it worked. Did you have the bootloader locked? I am just trying to confirm I'm not crazy and that I was actually able to use it with a locked bootloader lol.
Yeah fastboot flashing was the gold standard way to avoid a brick back in the days before A/B partitions and Android Verified Boot came along but not so much now. This device in particular seems to be really fussy about fastboot flashing. I never managed to brick my Pixel 3 XL doing it but I have had to MSM multiple times trying to do fastboot commands and custom recoveries to flash custom ROMs on my OP9. I have got the process down tova science at this point lol. I just went back to stock and rooted it and I'm much happier with that than I was with custom ROMs that were plagued with issues.

Sorry, I did it with the bootloader unlocked.
I might go back to Stock soon enough. While not as big a pain as Samsung, also not the easiest phone I've played with either.

Yes, you can use this to go back to OOS11. You shouldn't need to unlock the bootloader as this is an officially sanctioned downgrade package.
Since you're on Android 12 you need to install the local upgrade APK:.
https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/OPLocalUpdate_For_Android12.apk
Install that, push the downgrade zip to /sdcard/, open the newly installed system update app, hit the gear, and it should show you the zip file waiting.

There is a pinned post with them. This is C.48 for global and yes, you use the local upgrade but since you're on OOS11, you don't use the APK, use the update function in system settings and tap the gear and you'll see it.

Hi i tried to use the updater on android12 and try to downgrade it to .48 but it return error. So i need to downgrade to android 11 first and then update it again to .48?

Correct. Only the specific downgrade packages can downgrade. It will also wipe the device. There's no way around this. Once you are back on 11, you can do the local upgrade to flash the full C.48 ROM instead of having to do the whole OTA process (normal process is downgrade, OTA to 11.2.10.10 (it will say it's C.48 but have a file size of like 150MB but it's not), OTA to C.48 so you get to skip a step if you just use the full update package).

Ok if i understand correctly, i just use the updater to flash the android 11 zip file that you provided and it will do a full wipe and will restore to android 11. Then i just use the updater again to flasj it to .48
am i correct?

I don't know because I didn't get my phone until February so I went right to 11.2.10.10. It is important to update though because it gets you a working OS on both slots instead of just one.

Lol yeah. I'm not too happy with C.60 either. I really don't want to wipe my device and lose my Signal chats again.

I don't know what you aren't understanding but I'm tired of repeating myself. Read what I wrote and it answers your question.

Ok done it ... on OOS11 now .... no need to unlock bootloader can just flash the file directly.
Will try OOS11 for a while and see if it is worth updating to OOS12
