new to op7 pro and need a slight push - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello from Miami
I just brought this monster of a phone, and I've been browsing the different threads; I'm a bit lost.
I own a g1917 version that is on 9.5.13 gm21aa, and naturally I'd like to upgrade to Oxygen. Since ota finds nothing, I'll have to force it. But I see oos roms and dp roms, but I don't know what the difference is.
Can someone kindly point me in a direction? Naturally, I want to root it and load TWRP amd experiment with roms. I previously owned a Huawei mate 10 pro, which was quite restricted.
Thank you

If you want to stay on OxygenOS then download Oxygen updater from playstore and that will let you download the latest update and flash via local storage.
You have the Global version not EU
There are many posts on how to root, twrp and update. Dig a little and u will find some useful information.

miui_SURYAEEAGlobal_V12.0.6.0.RJGEUXM_246b1aa34f_11.0.zip

Hi everyone,
I read in the latest XDA-newsletter that finally Poco had released the MIUI 12 update. This firmware update was considered to be more important than an Android version 11 upgrade.
Can anyone tell me if the .zip file: miui_SURYAEEAGlobal_V12.0.6.0.RJGEUXM_246b1aa34f_11.0.zip (found on XDA) can be used to install, but without having to lose all the personal data and apps?
Thanks for your help.
Greetings,
Lepapron
Hi. I don't quite understand what you are trying to say but V12.0.6.0.RJGEUXM is Android 11 based rom. It also is the Europe version not Global. Theoretically if currently you're on, lets say 12.0.7 or 12.0.8 Global or Europe you'll not lose any personal data and apps if you flash this. It should be treated by your device as an update. If you decide to go back to your OG firmware though you'll have to do FORMAT DATA or you'll end up in a boot loop.
To be clear. I am not advising you to do this and do not guarantee it'll succeed.

Thank you.
Although you did not quite understand what I meant, you answered my question perfectly well. Don't do it..! I won´t, because I downloaded the file as a zip file here on XDA, so when I unzip it, I assume my POCO X3 NFC will not see it as a regular update. And the foresight of a boot loop is not a very prosperous sight, so I'll just wait until it arrives as OTA.
Well done, that was very helpful.

OOS 9.0.9 needed before updating to Android 10 (FYI)

I was having a bunch of issues updating my phone. I kept receiving a System Update Installation Failed error. I tried local using the zip downloaded directly from OnePlus support and it wouldn't work. It said that there was no update available when trying to use the update setting. Long story short...it just wasn't working. I then proceeded to use the MSM Tool to completely erase and reset the phone. STILL wouldn't work. I randomly came across someone saying you needed OxygenOS 9.0.9 before 10..tried it and it worked perfectly. Sigh.
I wanted to save someone else the hassle and document it here with the error I was receiving. Good luck! I got OOS 9.0.9 HERE if anyone needs it and I'm allowed to link.
@bam099
Thanks for sharing the link for 9.0.9
Out of interest which version were you upgrading from and which version MSM tool were you trying?
My OP6 is still on 9.0.8 as I've not had the inclination to go through the hassle of a full reset to restore to factory (BL is unlocked, TWRP is installed, was rooted but got rid of that due to constant hassle with banking apps detecting root and magisk hide not working for all my bank apps)
Now that 11 is released as stable I'm probs going to to the full return to factory stock and then upgrade straight to 11 (once the early adopters have found the first bugs and OP patch them ) but if 9.0.9 was needed to update to 10.x.x I guess the same will be needed for 11.
Surprisingly I took a little bit of notes so I could go back if I wanted to (and I wouldn't waste time searching for issues like this weird 9.0.9 thing I found). I was on 9.0.6 (Build Number A6003_22_190528).
I would imagine that 9.0.9 is going to be needed to get to 11 (I'm on 11 now but I went from 10 so I'm not positive about what is required).
If you download the stock ROM for 9.0.9 can't you upgrade it? I THINK TWRP can flash the update but I'm sure there's some kind of an issue with an unlocked BL and upgrading via the stock app.
I don't recall what version of the MSM tool I used...I was frustrated at that point and not taking notes haha. I keep remembering 4.0.4 so if that sounds right for MSM then that's what I used. But I think any of the ones you see on a guide would work. Good luck with it!

Question Anyone get OxygenOS 12.0.0 to install?

I downloaded it. Went to local upgrade, installed it.
Went to Magisk and did install to inactive slot like normal. And it reboots. Then a small bootloop for a second. Then goes straight back to normal. Like I never installed anything.
Any thoughts?
I tried to root by patching new boot.img but get bootloop which not fixed except after msmdownload tool

Same here. If you dont install magisk to the inactive slot it will go through and you will be in oos12. Problem with mine, it wont read my flaking sim card. Tried it 5x all same problem. Also, every reboot, your dpi goes back to 360 lmao.
I patched boot.img by canary magisk and it is working good, but no option for safetynet passing

I tried for 3 days killing my device flashing boot img. At least I know my downloaded msm tool works. On latest A12 build out for the global op9
I wouldnt recommend it tbh if its your only phone. Its buggy AH.

I have on my PC I will upload soon. Away from it currently. You really need 3 partitions to make work. Boot,vendor_boot,vbmeta
Geesh the battery is so much better on A12 after debloating how I see fit. Passing safety net, all banking apps working and still using old modules !! Score

0p9 partitions..A 12 - Google Drive

All three are in here. Make sure to use magisk 23.0 to patch boot and vendor boot so you don't loose modules and magisk hide. Then you disable verity before boot with vb_meta img. You have to do from sdk platform tools folder though. Will not work just putting in a folder on desktop and pulling cmd window from there. Enjoy , follow the above guide to a T

Thanks a lot for the files Mattie.
My experience with OOS 12 so far has been a nightmare, and I'm not even rooted.
For the record:
I was coming from OOS 11 not the latest version previous to OOS 12, rooted, pretty much stable but I felt the phone pretty slow in comparison to other (Long story short, I got a brand new OnePlus 8 I bought almost a year ago but couldn't get my hands on it, so after getting tired of waiting for it, bought the OP9).
My OP8 is not rooted, doesn't have the bootloader unlocked, and it's miles faster than my OP9 with about the same apps installed with the exception of the apps that require root.
So, since my OP9 was feeling slow in comparison, I decided to go at OOS 12 to see how it went. First experience was bad, the phone kept hanging, didn't read the SIM correctly at first, so I read someone that was suggesting to do a factory reset to fix some issues.
I did a factory reset, deleted everything on the phone to start OOS 12 from zero, and the phone keeps hanging, specially when I get phone calls via Whatsapp or other apps, and less but still some problems with "answering incoming phone calls".
At this point I rather try to downgrade to OOS 11 and sit this one out for a long while.
I thought about rooting OOS 12, but being honest, having root is not going to make the phone more stable or anything. I guess I'll do give it a try at OOS 12 in 3-6months after a couple of updates, maybe other versions are better.

I have the correct msm tool for device. This is the forward route for you. Takes you to 11.4. Stock A11
Does anyone else have the issue of their touchscreen not functioning when they install the A12 update? Ive tried installing twice and both times my screen would not register any touches only the volume and power buttons functioned?
EDIT: NVM I MSM'd back to stock and upgraded to OOS 12 before unlocking the bootloader.

if you are looking for performance, look into kernels and/or just use a kernel manager.
out of all the Roms I've tried (all but the latest havok release) crDroid is the best performance option I get from a ROM on O09. that piared with optional GApps and frequent OTA updates, its the best thing out so far. the OTA even works perfectly at retaining root without any user input. (but do a backup before reboot, its still technically a dirty flash so play safe)

I don't want to get too off-topic, but figured I'd save a MSM wipe to some people, I can confirm this works, but only using the latest version of Magisk (v24), temporary boot will not work with v23 (the last one with MagiskHide), it caused Qualcomm crashdump and no recovery or fastbootd.
If anyone looks into other root spoofing solutions with the newer version v24, from Magisk settings use Zygisk, select apps using Enforced Denylist, and Universal SafetyNet Fix, there is also Shamiko, which I haven't tested personally.
From my own experience, DenyList+Universal SafetyNet fix+Selinux Switch if you need to switch between permissive and enforced Selinux are enough. Apps won't get to know there is root, safetynet is passed, and selinux checks are passed (that one took me a long while to figure out)

Question Newbie trying to get a12

hello people, I have a small Problem, i have a redmi Note 11 Pro 5g global bought over Amazon in Germany, before i got it i checked for sure that it will get a12 now in my news app they are talking about the Note 11 Pro 5g will get a12, the last Update was only November Security Patch.
and cuz' i read a Bit more about it there are custom Roms, but without twrp so If it gets updatet i need to Reset my Phone again.
sooo is there a way currently to get me a12 or a newer Version with OTA Updates?
since in the MIUI Downloader App there is a global MIUI 13 a12 Rom, with Recovery i read so much about those Things now i dont have a clue anymore i'll attach some Screenshots downbelow.
If there is a Option with only one time resetting the Phone i would do it, with a safe Guide thanks for Reading.

If you checked that the update is for your device, then you can take it, and flash it through your stock recovery.
By taking the other route, i.e. flashing a custom recovery, and so on, you always can return totally to stock, to take the update you want, if it is available. Also, when some TWRP appears (based on your words), then you can flash any stock ROM, that is prepared to be flashed through recovery.

Sorry for delay, I will show you with images.
Go to Settings/about phone:
Then open it, and tap on 13
Then tap 7 times on 13 Miui 13, to have more options
Then go to the three dots, up to the right, then you'll see the options to flash the package to your device, download the latest ROM package, and navigate to it, then your device will make the rest. Be sure to enable USB debugging previously, and set all the drivers correctly, to have more options, just in case.

Question Unable to update to A13 after MSM soft brick recovery on LE2115.

I have an LE2115. I tried to update install CRdroid, and during the process the guide required an upgrade to firmware F18.
I was already on the newest (F20 I think) firmware, so I figured a small roll back would be needed. I downloaded F18 from the CRdroid firmware link, and when it was run it ended up bricking the phone. Annoying, but I didn't think it the end of the world.
To unbrick it I downloaded the MSM global 11.2.10.10 and flashed the phone with A11 (11.2.10.10). I was able to get back into the phone, and everything seemed ok at first glance.
The problem is now I can't install any updates to get it back to android 13.
If I do a system ->system update -> check for updates -> download and install. It says it downloads update LE2115_11.F.17_2170_20021123112, installs it, and reboots.
After rebooting the phone shows a successfully installed update message, but when I look at under About the system is still on Android 11 (11.2.10.10). No change at all.
If I try sticking the OTA zip LE2115_11.F.17_2170_202211231112 in root, and using that for a local update the phone gives me a update failed message after a few seconds. No useful error messages at all.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I can't figure out how to get this off A11 and back to A13 (F18).
This is making me want to rip out my hair as everything I have tried has failed to get me onto a current firmware.

I have the same device. After the 11.2.10.10 comes C48 first a12 build but it's marked F17 update. Then comes C-66 it's also marked F-17. Take it. Next update you guessed is labeled F-17 and it is actually F-17. Android 13. Then you will get F-18 ota as well. Then have to go into oxygen updater from playstore and update to F20. Latest with Jan sec patch. Since they dropped Android 13 all their device updates for op9 are labeled wrong. After msm you started on 11.2.4.4. I flash lineage and mess with things but mostly stay on stock as it's great and cam is good on os. Good luck. Check out pixelify by Kingsman 44. Real nice for op9 also.

Ok. Thanks. I will run the update multiple times, and see if I can get to F18.
I can't believe the naming is all buggered up. Ok, well maybe I can believe it. Seems like OnePlus is just not doing a good job anymore, but there are not many other flagship grade phones with unlocked boot loaders and custom roms anymore (and I have been using custom android roms since the touch pro 2 days). It's making me a sad panda.
I just upgraded from a OnePlus 7t to the 9 because I got a crazy good price for an open box phone on clearance. Now I am starting to wonder if I made the wrong decision.
If I have to download 5+ updates every time something doesn't flash right I am going to burn though my 1TB internet cap in no time.
Update:
After ~10gb of updates I got to F18.
Now to go and get a custom rom on this thing, and hope I don't have to unbrick it again.
