Has anybody been successful in, or is capable of getting a copy of the Stock ROM for the GM1925. If you would rather remain anonymous, I completely understand. PM me.

Hey,
I just got my OnePlus One in hands like an our ago...It's a beautiful beast.. ^_^ very happy with the performance and has no issue with the build yet.
Coming to the point I have 2 questions i my mind.
1. I was wondering if i could totally transfer all my stuff from my old device (which is MOTO E running CM11) to this device without usin internet(like over wifi or via PC or anything like that) .. and by stuff i mean all contacts,messages,audio-videos,pics,apps,my customizations etc..
2. I am an Indian user and having the device which as sold in India only. I heard that OnePlus Partnered with "Waves" to add "MaxxAudio". Does anybody have any idea if We Indian users are gonna get that update or not? and if we won't then, will We guys be able to flah that update somehow?
Hoping for some quick replies soon... Can't Wait..!

The easiest way to transfer the stuff from your old phone to your OPO is by backing it up to your PC and then copying it to your OPO. That'll be fine for your media, but you're gonna have to download your apps again (there's an app called Helium that claims to backup apps without root but it doesn't really work), and you definitely can't transfer any customisations from phone to phone. There are several apps that you can use to backup sms/mms to an xml file, which you can transfer to your OPO with your media, and then install the same app on your OPO and use it to restore the backed up sms/mms.
Now, there's some crazy stuff going on in regards to the Indian OnePlus situation. You're definitely not getting Cyanogen updates, and all new devices from now on will be shipped with an in-house OnePlus ROM in place of Cyanogen. It isn't certain whether MaxxAudio will be only on Cyanogen devices, or only on the OnePlus ROM devices, or on both, so it's impossible to answer that question. But, if you do want to continue using Cyanogen on your device you'll be able to update it manually because all the updates are always posted here on XDA.

Here's a good sms backup app:

Install myphoneexplorer in PC and then create backup from old phone and restore to new phone
Looking through the dev threads it doesn't look like there are many (if any?) custom roms for this phone, so what's all the hubbub with rooting it? I'm picking one up to replace a nexus 6, which is obviously rooted and rom'd out but other than TWRP I don't see a point? I'll gladly admit I'm no power user, but is there some advantage I'm missing? There's still no release for 8.0 unless I'm missing something.
Look for custom ROMs in the international G5 forum (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development). Most international custom ROMs work on the T-Mobile G5 (model H830). I only tried Fulmics, which is based on the stock international rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/rom-02-01-fulmics-rom-1-0-v20a-tweaks-t3530406). There's also LineageOS and others.

Ah, see now this is a good reason. I also considered piracy apps, but that's not a "good" reason to root. Is the downgrading process pretty straight forward then?
The primary advantages of rooting even when no custom roms are available are
1) proper ad-blocking
2) proper backup
3) recovery mode (full system image backup & restore)
4) properly de-bloat system. Dont just disable a million apps and be stuck with certain things that run anyway or wont uninstall. With root you can completely remove junk bloatware from the carriers.
And of course, the ability to flash custom roms if any exist. So there's still plenty good reason to want to root your phone even if you are keeping a stock ROM.

How can you root the T-Mobile G5?
ok so here is my situation. currently im on stock latest update for this model. i am trying to find the correct stock firmware to download just incase anything goes wrong in the future. What i wanted to do was root the phone even though i wanted the current rom and everything backed up. i dont want to root or modify anything without taking a backup beforehand first. i havent rooted or done phone mods in a while and i have a contract with Verizon for this phone and dont want to brick it or atleast be able to return it to stock before my next phone upgrade incase i have to send it back. im kind of unsure where to start even though i would like to know where i can find the first stock firmware and how to flash it later just incase anything goes wrong. currently i was annoyed by the inability to change the apn settings even to disable ipv6 for the mobile data connection. im not sure it is possible if verizon has it locked and i stay away from ipv6 as much as possible because of privacy concerns so i guess if i cant disable it on the mobile network i will turn mobile data off until it is needed for something i really need while on the go.
here is what i wanted to do:
find a stock firmware file for this model just incase i have to flash to restore all default settings. it doesnt really matter if its updated i would even prefer the original or first one before all the update unless it would be recommended to download the updated one as well.
i was going to root with dr.fone until i heard about magisk because it doesnt modify system boot files or something along the lines of that. the only thing is i would like to know after i root with magisk can it be un rooted without messing up any of the stock files, or interfere with future updates if unrooted?
also i would like TWRP installed as i might want to install custom firmware if possible however if i can i would like to backup the stock recovery before i flash TWRP just incase, unless the custom recovery and everything will be restore with the stock firmware zip that can be flashed above. other than that if i can get this far and get some insight to backup and have things prepared before i dive in to modifying again in hopes i have a backup plan incase anything goes bad.
all help is appreciated and its been a while since i modifying android phones especially for this phone model i been on stock since i had it so im kind of lost in a way since i havent had recent experience for a few years in android modding and rooting in a while. hopefully i can get some feedback as im kind of lost on where to start and dont want to mess up my phone incase i need to get back to everything stock.
waiting for your replies i will get back tomorrow to see if there are any responses. i know this is going to eat up a lot of my time as well and honestly it has been stressing me out even though after i get working on it i should feel better.
Thank You!
Does anyone have a legit source for this? I'd like to start fresh (currently rooted + twrp + custom kernel)
Reason is, there is an OTA that I continually fail to install, can't seem to find out why.
As far as converting to international... I only hesitate as I haven't seen any comparison or difference. breakdown. Am I missing out on anything on the tmobile side by converting?
I really do like OOS, and would like to keep that. May try something custom rom based but I just like OOS too much honestly.
Debated on starting this thread, but decided it was better to ask before I pulled the trigger.
Has anyone tried installing Android 11 GSI's via fastboot on this phone? And if you did, did it boot and did you have communications (Bluetooth, Cell 4g/5g and/or WiFi) working to any degree?
If the answer is yes to the second question, then I might try going that direction for ASOP or Lineage (not fond of the bloat in OOS).
