Oneplus 6 (A6000)

Hi there,
I'm kind of new and I'm not really a huge phone person but I'm giving this a shot! I just got my OnePlus 6, and the guy I bought it from gave me an "A6000" one. It does not have Google or anything and in the thingy it says it's called Hydrogen OS. I'm extremely confused.
I read it's supposed to have Oxygen OS. Can someone walk me through what I am supposed to do, step by step (simple please!) to get from this confusing Hydrogen OS to Oxygen OS? I wasn't expecting this at all...

A6000 is supposed to have Hydrogen OS on it, as it is meant for the Asian market. Go get your money back, and punt the guy who sold you that square between the legs.
Now there is a way to put OxygenOS on it, follow guides for unlocking the bootloader, installing TWRP, and then flash OxygenOS in TWRP (and then punt the guy who sold you this phone between the legs again for selling you a phone that you had to go through all this with)

Ok. The A6000 was not made for your market (where did you find this thing anyway). If returning it is at all possible you should do so.

It's too late. I did check and it works on my carrier, Public Mobile, but I would really like it to work properly with Oxygen OS

After flashing Oxygen OS, will I be able to update simply OTA via the System Update built into Oxygen OS when updates come out?

Better idea. I can't believe I forgot about fastboot roms (sorry about that). Unlock the bootloader, and use the fastboot roms for OxygenOS. That will be easier and yes it will update through OTA afterwards

In the guides section there is a posting for stock fastboot roms. Download the one you want - if you are Android pie I suggest staying on pie here - unzip the download and run flash-all.bat. More in depth instructions will be found in the posting with the download. It is super easy.

Help! Oneplus Newbie!

While i am no beginner when it comes to modding phones, having done so with Samsungs Sonys and my last HTC 10. But this is my first Oneplus and my first time dipping toes in the world of A/B partitions as well. My device is a 1910 GM21AA. While i have gone through the guides regarding bootloader unlocks and magisk rooting, I have failed to grasp some more basic aspects. For one thing, i seem to have the Chinese variant but mine isnt Hydrogen OS, i am currently sitting on 9.5.3 OOS. I was wondering how i could perhaps shift to the Global firmware. Am i to take the latest 9.5.11 OTA from https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...7-pro-global-repo-oxygen-os-t3930585#poststop and simply put it in the download folder and do a local update from the system update on the phone? Thanks in advance

Use the oygen os updater from the play store download full rom which is around 2gb and do local upgrade.
FYI GM21AA is Indian Version

the packages shown in the app seem to be the same zips in the thread i linked...so all i do is take the GM21AA from the thread and just do a local update? I read that 1910 is the Chinese variant for my device but it has this GM21AA build which just made things so confusing. Thank you.

I would now like to know of things i can do to bring my OP7Pro to life in case something ever goes wrong with Local storage updates or just Fcked up in general

That should do.. it should give you an error if the update is incompatible. Incase you mess up you can always fastboot and update using this thread https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/foru...ock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424/amp/

I could be wrong, but I think that's the norm with everyone since updating. Thinkni read it in one of the XDA forums around here somewhere.

How do i roll back to full stock if i am on custom rom? This is unfortunately also my first time dealing with A/B partitions.
Aside from these, i have been going around the forums and had a few more questions that i hope someone could help me with....
1. Whenever i come across a rom not based on OOS, i keep coming across never wiping system or vendor, why is that?
2. I come across flashing OOS a lot, how do i flash OOS when i am in a custom rom not based on OOS?

look in the volte thread
there is an apk to installnand enables it again with limited functionality
or use MSM tool to go back to 953 and tibu backup and restore on 9511
oneplus removed it for some reason...
maybe because they found out we're forcing VOLTE?

Do i use MSM tool or fastboot method whenever i need to get back to complete stock without any root or twrp? If so then i think MSM tool or fastboot roms would be a great way to go. 1 question, does using msm or fastboot return the phone to stock while keeping the bootloader unlocked? Also, is it ok to downgrade to a lower version of OOS with MSM or fastboot roms? i think 9.5.11 for me introduced some random background battery drain and this weird mobile data bug where switching to it doesnt enable the connection until much much later

I personally use fastboot. All you need to do is plug the phone in>Boot to fastboot (hold vol up and down and power all at once)>On the computer launch flashall.bat (dont run it as administrator, just launch it).

Do you use it to downgrade or whenever you need to go back to full stock after modding? does it keep the bootloader unlocked or does it relock it? Thanks. Sorry for the noob questions. This is my first Oneplus. I have kept my device stock until i get a good idea of how to deal with things going south.

I need a little guidance regarding this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3934659
Are these rom packages for MSMtool or fastboot packages?
EDIT:
Never mind...msmtool stuff just went through the files

Android 10 Ota Flash?

Anyone have a zip I can flash with the system updater built into the phone? I've tried the few that have been posted, however it is located in the root folder the local updater can't see it.

The way I get the updates is by Oxygen Updater.
Never had an issue, look for a local update.... install
Do not root ....

It is supposed to preserve your data. But I never assume that it will work the way it is supposed to. That goes for any updates, and especially as one as major as Android 9 > 10.
Backup anything that is important to you on a routine basis (method of your choice - many options), and definitely before an update. Then as I like to say: Expect the best, but prepare for the worst. In other words, you will probably be able to update and keep your data. But you are prepared just in case anything goes wrong.

Titanium Backup your data?
If you look for how to unlock the bootloader for tmobile there is a thread on one pluses site where you can local updater flash pie, It'll setup like a brand new phone but all other info on phone is preserved you and restore with titanium backup.

u can use oneplus switch app to backup your data, then save it on your pc/laptop
follow official guild, change to stable channel, then ota to stable 10

Unbricked my phone, now what ?

Hello,
I apologize in advance because i'm not a native english speaker and i'm also not tech savvy at all so it will probably be painful to help me.
My OnePlus 6 hard-bricked today and I had to do the MsmDownloadtool thing in this thread because my phone wouldn't work again. Screen was black, even when plugged the LED wouldn't light on and my PC was identifying my phone as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008".
So I did everything to get it back on, it worked and now I'm stuck with android 8 and OOS 5.1.5. I'd like to be able to update both android and OxygenOS automatically and not manually (which I wasn't able to do even though I followed the upgrade to latest Oxygen OS by using full signed zip thread). If someone could help me or point me to a tutorial I can follow or something It will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

So I does not find updates when you tell it to update? I do not have much experience with msmdownload, but I had good experiences with flashable zips of official roms.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3792244
Read the instructions carefully. I would recommend to start with your current 5.1.5 and let it update itself. You should not try to skip versions.
Edit: On second thought, maybe you could get away with getting a OOS 9.0.0 upgrade package and install it through updater up? This will definitely save you some time, but I am not sure it is the safest approach.

It does find the update that I manually put on the root of the phone, but when I launch it it tells me the update has failed.
I'd love if it updated itself but it doesn't for some reason. When it checks for update I only see the current version.
I hope I didn't mess up the unbrick :/

I Guess you should flash 9.0.9 before turn on A10.

Maybe this version is so old they do not expect people to be upgrading form that.
That link that I sent you. Go there,get an incremental upgrade package from 5.1.5 to 5.1.11 and install it with the updater app
Here is a link to that package
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903980707
Then get this android 9 upgrade package (or find it yourself) and flash that through the updater app.
http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amaz...2_OTA_005_all_1808301533_d0d4304454bf4157.zip
It should update automatically after that.
I would not recommend skipping android versions. It may be fine, but it might cause problems

Question Wifi and Hotspot Not Turning On

Hi,
I bought my phone three months back. Ever since the last update Version Name - WW18.0840.2106.86 my wifi and Hotspot just won't turn on.
I have been through the asus forum and seems like alot of customers are facing this issue.
One of them confirmed that even after replacing motherboard the issue persists. Others are facing air trigger issues after replacing the motherboard.
Just wanted to know if anyone here is facing similar issues.
DO let me know your thoughts on should I visit service center and Get my motherboard replaced or should I wait for the next update. My current Version Name - WW18.0840.2107.151
PS: My phone is not rooted
Thanks

I have not had these issues personally. I just updated to .151 last night though, so we shall see.
The general consensus is that the mobo needs to be replaced, and will most likely not get fixed with a software update. If it was correctable, a major issue like this would have forced a new FW update after .86 caused your initial problem.
You could always try flashing raw FW if you really want to tinker, but I doubt it will help. I would hit the service center and get the mobo replaced.
Good luck!

OTA files are the standard updates. There are a lot of how to guides that answer most of these questions, which may be why nobody is jumping up to walk you through it.
I wouldn't trust someone installing OTA files in TWRP because the system handles them already without any software. That is just asking for problems.

The link I posted earlier is included in that. Not sure why nothing showed up for it, but maybe you'll have better luck getting to it that way.
There's always a possibility it is a hardware issue. A lot of them have been SIM, Wifi, and Bluetooth issues. If you suspect a kernel issue, make sure you are following the instructions to restore. If you only flashed a boot, you didn't follow the instructions.
