Clean Install - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

If I wanted to go to Stable OOS from Open Beta. And I wanted it to be a complete full wipe.
What would be the easiest way to do it?

I believe that since you are willing to do a full wipe that using Oxygen Updater would be the best. You can choose what type of update you want, such as beta, or stable, as well as Full or Incremental. Now I have used it many times but I have always been on stable. I am fairly certain that you can download the FULL stable version and apply it as it is. You should receive a warning that this will WIPE your phone as you are willing to do, and then after the update is completed you will be running the latest 10.0.2 stable.
If there is anyone here reading this that has a better way, or can correct any error on my part, then please chime in!

[Q] Installing 10.2 nighly updates?

NOOB HERE!!!
My quick and hopefully simple question regards installing the CM updates that are available directly on my phone. I am running 10.2 with no issues. Nearly everyday I get the icon stating there is an up to CM10. I simply click on it and install. Again, so far so good but I would like to know if simply installing these updates this way is "endangering" my phone. Is there a better way I should be installing these? I am assuming not otherwise the updates would not be present and as simple to install. Thanks for your input!

It is perfectly safe to use the built in cmupdater every day. For piece of mind it may be a good idea to occasionally make a backup manually using your recovery of choice (either TWRP or CWM).
If you ever encounter a problem after upgrading to the latest nightly, and nightlies do sometimes break features, just boot into recovery and manually flash the previous day's file (located in the /cmupdater folder)...no need to wipe anything.
I've been dirty flashing cm nightlies since June. You're fine. A clean flash doesn't hurt once in awhile though!
Thanks! I appreciate it!
I dirty flashed for a year with no problem at all untill a few days ago. I went from the 8/16 to the 8/17 to the 8/14 and lost my imei and eri once the 8/14 booted. Ive been trying everything with no luck to get the eri back. make sure you do a full (not just imei) NV back up and do a normal rom/data backup like once ever week or two. Im regretting not doing a NV backup as the only tool to fix my problem has been removed from the site due to infringing the ToS.

Can't root new Mi4. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

I have tried XiaomiTool, which resulted in a brick.
I had to factory reset from the recovery, then it turned on, which resulted in all GApps disappearing. Got a 550mb OTA which brought them back.
I read that i can root by using Developer rom, but that is only available in the chinese version.
There is no global developer rom. Please show me how to root this phone, i already bricked it once on the first day.

Xiaomi.eu's ROMs have Google Apps and root. 5.7.2 is perfect, haven't tested latest yet.
Which one should I Download?
There are so many links, none of which seem right for the Mi4.
And it says in the post that they are without root?

Thanks a ton. I am used to a nexus 4 so all this seems new to me.
Is there a guide to flash this? I wouldn't mind wiping data this one time.
What method Should i use to Update, by keeping data?
Thanks again.
PS isnt there something like this based on the global version?
What is the difference between this and the one from the MIUI website Chinese developer rom?
Easiest way is from MIUI Updater app, "..." from up right, choose update package... Can try dirty flash first, If there is problems/apps fc do factory reset.

And what about the difference between Chinese MIUI Developer official and xiaomi.eu roms?
Thanks.
Xiaomi.eu weekly roms are based on those chinese developer versions so dirty flash might work. They disable chinese only apps and features and add languages.

I have installed it and it is working great.
One major problem, Everytime i install an APK, it asks me to grant permission, and only lets me allow it once after waiting 10 seconds.
There is no Allow Unknown Sources Checkbox.
Please help, it is very annoying as i have so many APKs to install on the new phone.
EDIT: Nevermind, I found the setting.
Thanks a lot for your Help.

Hi again,have you tried the latest rom?
Nothing happens if i just install it, but after i restore about 50 apps, it starts rebooting. Every 2-3 minutes.
Not sure What to do.
Have tried a factory reset.
No i am still with 5.7.2, no hurry to upgrade.
Restoring apps could cause problems sometimes, try clean install. (I open all favorite apps in Firefox and and bookmark them so i can use "Open All in Tabs" and install them easily for any device.)

How is your battery life on those roms?
I am getting horrible battery life with like 1% drain every minute even when I'm not using it.
And I keep getting "com.Google.gapps has stopped.

Please help.

Do you recommend I Install 5.7.2 or the Latest Hotfix?
Haven't tried latest, but can confirm 5.7.2 is working fine so try that. Usually i upgrade only after couple people say it's working good on Mi4 in Xiaomi.eu MIUI Weekly ROM Releases forum.

Do I need to make a full wipe to downgrade or just flash with the updater app?

Anyone have tested this? Is there any improvements from V8.2.1.0 or still prefer the old V8.1.2.0? So, here i am waiting for feedback.

I'm on it since this morning, pretty much the same I'd say, the change-log has a few things like swipe to dismiss notifications on lockscreen and a few bugfixes.

How is your experience with the temperature & battery life? Can you share some screenshots of your SOT? Did the bugs at V8.2.1.0 finally fixed in V8.2.4.0?

Bet this rom weighs more than an average car....
I was using stock 8.2.1 Global Stable. After auto-updating to 8.2.4, had sound glitches, unlock lag and Telegram bugs I've never seen before. I don't recommend to migrate to this version from 8.2.1.
I haven't had any sound glitches or unlock lag (I don't use telegram).
As for battery life it's great, 2 days use, 6 hours SOT so far and I have 50% battery left (4G on all the time).

5th day with the phone. i got it update it to 8.2.4, charged it, unlocked bootloader, installed twrp/root and i had about 10 hours sot during a 3 day period on 2g and a little 3g and wifi disable when screen is off. those 10 hours included a lot of restarts that consume energy a lot of copying things via wifi browsing messenging and a few calls. no problems so far hope i helped.
This update don't bring big changes. Don't understand why you afraid of update. All work's fine including battery life and performances.
Upd:
1. Sound issues and Telegram bugs - no more. One-time glitch?
2. Usual Xiaomi micro-lags when switching apps seem to disappear. So 8.2.4.0 feels way more smooth for me.
3. Battery life - no noticeable changes.
4. MiPicks app added along with annoying ads.
I wonder Why eu version not yet published ?
Sorry for this silly question, how can i update to 8.2.4 if I have TWRP recovery? Can I just take OTA update or do I need to flash the zip file via TWRP?

You'll have to flash via TWRP cause the OTA uses the built in Xiaomi recovery (which you dont have anymore since you installed TWRP).

xiaomi.eu is based on the china rom, not the global. they won't release until there's an official release for the CN rom.

Yeah you should wipe the cache and davlik cache at least before flashing the new rom. Full wipe would be best.
To get root you'll have to re-flash the super su zip file after you flash the rom.
Re' 8.2.4.0 global
Just did a clean full wipe and flashed epic zip again for another try, though I still have noticeable battery drain.
Thinking of going 8.2.4.(and then uninstalling a few apps n' make a few minor mods for better battery life)
I have twrp installed, read somewhere I can not get rom updates via OTA due to this. (As MIUI recovery is needed for update?) Is that true?
In which case does that mean when there is a new global rom update, and I flash zip in twrp(if that's the case) I would lose my settings and aps? (Guess I would) Or as it's newer/similar global update could I get my settings back from mi cloud or Titanium back up?
Tired of changing roms and then setting up all the apps.
Sorry if this a newbie type question.
Thanks for any info (=
Tried to delete my last post, without luck, found answer/s in other threads (=
The zip file is corrupt

FYI, A10 beta to A10 stable, no data loss

So with backup in hand and having downloaded the A10 stable zip I was ready to reinstall/restore everything after upgrading from A10 beta. After all, this is what the local upgrade implied, that the process would wipe my phone. Low and behold, the local upgrade did not wipe my device and so far, no issues. Keep in mind I'm not rooted or unlocked.
I can confirm that it doesn't wipe the data even when local upgrading from A10 beta (unlocked bootloader) to A10 Stable.
Yea, i did it too...but from Blu recovery....just dirty flash n install as usual...just reinstalled my magisk 20.1 and edxposed....all works....as usual...any one notice black screen when launching games?

I've just launch call of duty and i have Black screen too. But wait a little and the game start.
Good if you didn't encounter any problems. But I personally prefer to start fresh now than later, just in case I encounter any problems in the future.

Whatever works for you. The point was made so that people who question whether or not you can upgrade from the beta without data loss. And the now vs later argument is speculative at best.
You used the full zip? I'm rooted and can't really find the A10 full zip tbh, not even on oxygen updater
This is a satisfying piece of information.

The news here is that the Stable EU ROM is allegedly dropping, though it does (as always) seem to be a staged roll out. Just was wondering if anyone had received it yet, and if so, in which country

Same issues here. Glad I'm not the only one. Using EU ROM
i guess we have to wait for a working root, it is a new rom anyway ^_^
(unrelated subject: the reason i need root is to hide it from McDonald's app.. funny right? My banking apps are fine with unlocked bootloader but McD is worried. hehe)
@GLOBAL is no problem to roo with magisk
Ok buckle up buckaroos. I think I got it. Magisk 20.0 does work. But not if you have old magisk stuff set up.
So steps:
1. install latest MIUI (eu) as you normally would.
2. Use magisk uninstaller. All your magisk files and configurations like audio stuff will be gone but hey, this is the way. I did this twice.
3. Boot into system. Make sure everything is good. If not. Repeat 1 and 2 again making sure to wipe cache and dalvik and optionally system before flashing stuff. Reboot to recovery and then into system.
4. Once you're sure that everything is working go back into recovery. Flash Magisk 20.0. I did not wipe anything at this point but you could try if you'd like.
5. Boot into system.
6. Set up all of your root apps again :'(
7. [Optional] upvote my comment if successful. I live off of spite and fake internet karma
(You can update magisk manager at this point but I would wait untill the next update before updating magisk manager itself)
I have spoken.
Magisk 20.4 canary works fine to
Can anyone tell if miui 11.0.4 have any option to change color settings like Live Display in LOS?
Should I be even bothered about this stable update 11.0.4 when I already have MIUI 11.0.5 (PEJMIXM) updated in October?
