Going from stable to open beta? - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

Is it as easy as just flashing the open beta?
I seem to remember people talking about having to do specific steps to get it to work, but I've tried searching and couldn't find anything for people already on Android 10.
I'm on 10.0.1 already, do I need to do a clean flash or can I just dirty flash it?

You can install the open beta zip via local upgrade without problems.
Keep in mind that you have to backup all your data if you want to downgrade to a stable version because the fulldowngrade zip will format data partition

Thanks!
Upgraded to the latest beta, now I just need the boot.img to patch it for root.
Guess I'll have to try and extract it since it doesn't look like I can find it through Google.

CM10 Stable Version OTA

Just got an OTA from CM that says a stable build (CM10.0.0) is ready to be installed. My phone is currently running the 1109 nightly.
Has anyone gotten this and successfully installed? I'm about to try it, but wonder if we still need to flash the boot.img first, or if the actual OTA takes care of that. Would be completely awesome if it does.
If you have the old hboot then you can just ota. If you have the new one, fastboot flash boot.img

I'm currently running the CM10 nightly from 10/11 and tried the OTA upgrade to the stable version. Well, once I flashed the new version my wifi wouldn't turn on.
It's the same problem I've had previously. My wifi works fine on the 10/11 nightly, but anything after that and my wifi just won't turn on. It shows that it's off in my settings and when I try to turn it on it just hangs and never turns on.
No one else seems to be having this problem so I'm not sure what's going on. I would love to upgrade to the stable build but I need wifi to work. I ended up having to reflash the older ROM and Gapps, so my wifi is working fine now.
Anyone else have problems turning wifi on with the new version??
Thanks. Installed with TWRP and everything is working great.
Just didn't realize that CM even pushed OTAs. A coworker also got an OTA on his GS3 today and installed that way with no problem. They don't have the extra boot.img step to deal with.

Does this mean I need to wipe like I did the first time I installed CM10 or is there a way to do this as an update without losing apps and settings?
Also, is there a way to do this directly on the phone or does it need to be done over USB like I did with the initial ROM install? Sorry, this is my first update since rooting recently. I'd like to make sure I do this correctly.

You shouldn't lose apps or settings, but never hurts to do a backup anyway.
If you rooted from the 2.20 firmware: download the rom from CM and extract the boot.img file on the computer. Then put the two on the phone's sd card. From there, you do the same thing you did the first time. Flash the boot.img and then the rom and GApps. Everything should work fine.
If you came from 1.85, apparently you can install directly from the OTA on the phone.
Thanks for the help. Do I need to do fastboot on boot img from the computer as well, or is there a way to manage it on the phone?
I wish I could just do OTA updates like people on the older hboot.

I use FlashImageGUI to flash the boot.img on the phone. Only thing I do on the computer is extract the actual boot.img file from the ROM.

Ok, just so I have it straight and because Flash Image GUI is warning me over and over: after I extract the correct boot.img I flash it using the Flash Image GUI, then use TWRP to install the boot.img, then the rom zip, then my gapps.zip? Thanks.
I was able to install it without flashing the boot.img. I was coming from the the latest nightly.

Flash the boot.img with Flash Image GUI, ignore all the warnings. Then, it'll ask you if you want to boot into recovery. Say yes. Then in TWRP, just flash the rom and gapps zips. Don't touch the boot.img again.

Interesting. Did you root from the 2.20 firmware?
No Stable for me
The CM10 Stable release for HTC One X is not on get.cm and it does not come up on my ota check on the CM10 nightly (i have the latest nightly)
Any ideas
Hello everyone,
This is the issue i had, when going from 1109 to stable the system will not do a clean OTA, the system will not load, attempted cleaning everything but nothing worked, at one point i even corrupted my memory so i had to do a factory reset, lastly what i did was flash the boot.img again and reinstall the system this got everything back to work. so from experience it seems the stable will need to do a full reinstall.
I hope that will help other people.
EDIT: updated to 1114 but it seems that broke the search feature so going back to 10.0.0 :S

Definitely there. http://get.cm/get/4LO
Excellent. Thanks so much. I managed to get it done. Here are my steps, FYI:
Coming from the 2.20 root with the latest hboot.
I downloaded but did not install the 10.0 stable update.
I went through my file browser to sdcard/cmupdater and copied the 10.0 evita zip to my Downloads folder.
After extracting the zip I copied the boot.img to the root directory of my sdcard. I don't think it has to be there, though.
I ran Flash Image GUI on the boot.img file, even with all the warning.
I then chose to reboot into recovery, where I installed the 10.0 evita zip, then installed the gapps zip.
Everything seems to work, including WiFi. I really appreciate all the help here at XDA. Hopefully my process above will help someone else.

[XT1575] TWRP Recovery Image for Stock MXP 7.0 Nougat NPH25.200-22

Stock Android 7.0 (Nougat) for the Moto X Pure 2015 XT1575 US NPH25.200-22
TWRP Recovery Image (Includes /boot and /system only)
**Factory reset after restore is advised.**
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B2lKWOIH0bTqc29NbVNWWWhsYVE?usp=sharing
**Not tested coming straight from stock 6.0 MPH24.49-18-16.**
I did an incremental OTA upgrade from stock 6.0 MPH24.49-18-8.
Use at your own risk. If you have TWRP installed your warranty is void anyway. I'm not responsible for bricking your device.

No Nougat modem is available until the flashable (non OTA) full stock 7.0 rom is made available from Motorola. This is not likely to happen. No issues have been mentioned running this update on a 6.0 modem. Not sure what the advantages are honestly. I never had problems with bt, wifi, or calls with the 6.0 modem firmware.
Create a backup beforehand and you can always go back to it.

The OP will need to comment - he may be coming from a rooted stock ; at least according the the thread noted above - if you have installed a custom ROM ; there are other steps besides just trying to flash this
I have NOT tried the OP's method or the referenced thread - so I cannot really speak from experience ; just pointing out other resources that have additional information -
Will this work with XT1572? Just confirming.
This is not a traditional TWRP zip file. It is a backup file. You need to unzip it and put it in the backup directory. You then restore backup, choose the nph25-200-22. . . directory, and away you go!

Well it worked, sort of. It booted to stock but it wasn't stable and the play store kept crashing, I tried all the usual stuff for that, clear services & play store data, uninstall updates, finally tried a factory reset and now I'm stuck in TWRP bootloop, even if I reinstall this image.
So very much YMMV.

Mate9 MHA-L29: OpenKirin experiences

Hey all,
I love stock android! So when i read about OpenKirin I was excited. Did anyone use this to install LineageOS on our mate9 successful? What are your experiences?
I have another question as well: I changed my model to the MHA-L29, rooted with a custom recovery.
OpenKirin says it needs to have the stock one. Does anyone have a link to the stock MHA-L29 recovery and a guide on how to install it?

First off, this thread probably belongs in Q/A.
Moving on:
I've run all 3 provided ROMs, Carbon as my daily driver and Lineage and RR for testing various things. They all work pretty well.
For stock recovery & ramdisk, download your current firmware (or if you've run other Treble ROMs as well, the version that corresponds to your current build number in Settings / System / About Phone) using Firmware Finder - you only need the main update.zip for this. You'll also need one of the utilities for extracting them. There's Huawei Update Extractor (I think that's what it's called anyway) for Windows, or https://github.com/marcominetti/split_updata.pl for Linux / Mac. Extract the ramdisk and recovery ramdisk images and there you go.
Installing those is a matter of rebooting into the bootloader and running:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img
fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img
(The name for recovery_ramdisk.img may vary a bit - the windows app will extract it as RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img.)
From there, just follow their instructions. If you have any problems, hit up the Telegram chat linked off the site, someone will be willing to help.
@irony_delerium, thank you very much. That sounds like something even I can do without too much problems
How do you like it, being on LineageOS?

Like I said in my original reply, my daily driver is Carbon; the Lineage builds I've only run briefly because NFC wasn't enabled, but the CarbonROM builds there have it. I use Google Pay every day, so it's kind of a requirement for me.
With that said, the only thing that's got issues for me is the camera app, and most of the blame for that is with Huawei. It generally works, but it'll close & restart often when switching modes or trying to start a recording.
I know there are various other minor issues with recording video in all 3, again because Huawei. (They put together bum codecs, and then patched the system side of the EMUI media stack to deal with the bum codecs, instead of fixing the codecs.)
Also worthy of mention (especially because I see people asking about this all the time): there is no VoLTE support. The devs are aware of it. Unless you're on a network that is pure LTE, it's mostly a non-issue. If you are, it's probably a deal breaker.
Getting on from there, they're all clean Android experiences, without the overbearing weight of EMUI. They don't try to pull some of the things EMUI did - the final breaking point for me was when it insisted on terminating apps in the background regardless of how much you might actually be using them. (In my case, AdGuard as a VPN service.)

I was on OldDroid's OpenKirin, but today switched to Carbon Beta 2 from https://openkirin.net/download/. This installed without problems and I did a hard reset as part of installation. The earlier version worked very well, except there were a few bugs. I haven't found any bugs in this ROM yet.
Random question: Does anyone know if it's safe to go from one build to another directly? I'm trying Lineage but would like to give Resurrection Remix a go. The instructions say that you should be coming from EMUI...

It's fine to go between them, provided you reload the stock ramdisk (if you installed Magisk) & factory reset before booting into the new ROM.

You can switch between the Custom Roms. I always do. Backup your data on the data partition via USB to PC, go to TWRP do a factory reset and then install the new image via fastboot. Reboot and rejoice

TWRP only works right on a Huawei device if you're either decrypted or running EMUI. (On a custom ROM, with an encrypted device, TWRP doesn't even start up - it locks up at the splash screen.)
Factory reset using stock recovery. Only using stock recovery. The OpenKirin team will not support any other configuration.
yes you are right. but there is still the possibility to do these things with a patched TWRP. I use this for my Mate 9 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h50RJ6LNNSEVW9CS16C0NjeP7ZZNTECE/view?usp=sharing

And the reason why I say anything is because the 2 most common problems I see are:
1) "I'm on Jio, where's my VoLTE?"
2) "I used TWRP and (it's not working | I screwed up | it's broken)".
The response to the first is universally, go back to stock.
The second, restore your entire stock firmware and then follow the instructions exactly as they are written.
With root, you can back up your apps with Titanium. I haven't had good luck with backing up settings with Titanium and after attempting to restore settings, I usually wind up wasting an hour or two and then factory-resetting and just reinstalling the apps. Now I don't even bother backing up settings, but just back up my apps. Even then two or three seem to be botched but uninstalling/reinstalling those will fix that problem. (It isn't always the same ones, either; not sure what causes this). This approach avoids the pain of configuring apps, e.g. travel app usernames and passwords, as well as preserving messages and the like. The biggest nuisance for me is that I carry around 40 unread Amazon books, which have to be sent to the phone (and I'm not so good at remembering which ones I've already read out of the more than 500 in my account), and I carry a bunch of google offline maps, which have to be manually recreated. Lastpass helps with login information too.
In my most recent (Carbon B2) install, I didn't bother with the backup but installed everything fresh and I had a fully functioning phone with 99% of the configuration I like within 2 hours, since I'd been pretty careful to put all the passwords and so on for my roughly 80 apps into a secured text file, as well as backing up my Nova launcher settings.

Restore your stock ramdisk and recovery partitions. (I'd actually start with a full restore to stock firmware first: get your vendor patches in order. 8.0.0.369 is available for most phones on c567, 370 might be available.)
Factory reset using stock recovery. Flash with fastboot. Magisk for root & SafetyNet.

Wait until the stable tree has caught up with the beta.
Do not take any additional beta software and wait for the state tree to pass the beta.
This will allow you to upgrade and not rollback.
This will allow you to keep your data and not wipe.

Just check xda or OnePlus (you can use Oxygen Updater app too) from time to time to see when the next stable is released. Once that happens, download the zip file and try the local upgrade via system settings.
If you want to do this, DO NOT update your system to the newest Open Beta anymore if one is released, wait for the next stable.

You could encounter some serious issues by dirty flashing a stable over a beta. The best option is to always do a full wipe
Can you backup data only using TWRP on beta and restore the data with no issues after flashing stable??

Hey, guys. So I've been messing with my phone all day after a soft brick after having BlissROM since Feb. Long story short, something with the ROM update and it messed with my phone. I wiped EVERYTHING thinking it would solve the problem. I was able to use the All-In-One tool to save my phone through the bootloader (Thank goodness!). I finally got it to boot up to stock this morning. I've been trying all morning to gain root, but once I do, I lose WiFi and Network connections. So my question is:
What is the most current version of TWRP and Magisk that will allow me to be on stock and have root without any problems?
This is my setup.
OnePlus 7 Pro
Android version: Android 10
Build: Oxygen OS 10.0.3.GM21AA (now updated to 10.3.1)
Model: GM1917
Unlocked OEM
Unlocked Bootloader
This is the method I am using to push TWRP though the bootloader.

These are the files that flash through adb/fastboot and lose Wifi and Network connectivity.
TWRP 3.3.1-79-guacamole-unified-Q: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ma...-guacamole-unified-Q-mauronofrio.img/download
Magisk v20.4: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v20.4/Magisk-v20.4.zip
Since I don't have any connectivity at this point, I attempt to flash BlissROM with the following steps.
BlissROM version that last worked for me: https://downloads.blissroms.com/BlissRoms/Q/guacamole/Bliss-v12.6-guacamole-OFFICIAL-20200425.zip
STEPS
Boot into recovery
Backup your current ROM
Perform a factory reset
Flash Bliss Rom
Reboot recovery
Flash OpenGapps--NANO PACKAGE!!
*Flash magisk* optional
Reboot to system
Also, as I've previously stated, I have attempted to flash BlissROM through TWRP and with root (without WiFi and Data), but it hangs on the boot screen. When I go to TWRP and try to reflash the ROM, it gives me the error "cannot mount storage". I follow the instructions as stated in the original post, so I figured it has to be something with the TWRP or Magisk versions not being compatible. Since that does not work, I have since flashed stock and am currently on that without problems. Any links to the most current TWRP/Magisk/rooting methods are greatly appreciated. And if someone could help with getting BlissROM back on my phone afterwards, that would be great. Thanks!
Pretty sure you need to update to 10.3.2 to get it working right.

I just realized I could update past the first update. I figured it would update to the most recent version version after the flash back to stock, not that it would be incremental. Thank you so much for the heads up!
I have the most recent version of Magisk downloaded. What is the best for 10.3.2?

That I could not say for sure, but my guess is that it would work fine.

Got it. Does the same goes for TWRP? I read somewhere that the unofficial one might work better with Android Q (I'm assuming that's Android 10?)
I always use the unofficial version, works fine for me.

Got it. Okay, so it looks like I'll be giving BlissROM one last shot!
Before I flash TWRP and Magisk, I looked on the Oneplus website for the 10.3.2 update and it looks like the most current posted is 10.3.1. Should I update to 10.3.2 for the latest ROMS, or will 10.3.1 work fine? If so, where can I find it?
I used the oxygen updater app to download the update and sideloaded it.

So it looks like that didn't work. I got stuck on a bootloop again and had to revert back to stock.
I can't seem to find what the problem is. Here is what I am flashing:
TWRP 3.3.1-79-guacamole-unified-Q: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mau...o.img/download
Magisk v20.4: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/...gisk-v20.4.zip
This is the method I am using flash TWRP to the bootloader.

When I flash both of those, I lose Wifi and Network on my stock ROM. I'm assuming one of them is also the reason why I can't flash BlissROM.
You don't need to flash magisk before you flash the ROM, just twrp. I do know when I bootlooped, it was because I missed a step, usually because I didnt wipe data.
Follow the flash instructions step by step or you will for sure bootloop. Read them over and over until you think you have a grasp of how to flash the ROM.
You can always get back into fastboot by holding power and both volume keys...then you can reflash twrp and start over. No need to go back to stock unless you want to or need to.
Just make sure you follow the instructions step by step. This device is a bit different to flash from the devices I have used before ...so it took me a few tries to get it done right.

I've been following the steps exactly as written. Take a look at step 5 on the TWRP thread. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...covery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3931322/amp/)
Install guide (Reccomended):
1. Install fastboot tools from google's sdk on your PC
2. Enter fastboot mode
3. Unlock your bootloader
4. Run "fastboot boot recoveryimgfilename.img" in command line (if you want to have it permanently you should flash the installer)
5. If you will flash the installer and you are stock you need also to flash magisk or your phone will not boot again
6. Enjoy it

Furthermore, this is also reiterated in the BlissROM thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/development/rom-blissroms-v11-9-t3957341/page138
Make sure you are rooted
Make sure you have a custom recovery installed
For Q-BETA- Make sure you are on Q firmware, is currently set to use OOS 10.3.0 Stable firmware- CLEAN INSTALL!!

I also noted that in that previous quote, having the original 10.0.3 I had installed shouldn't have cause any problems. I wiped data (factory reset) every time I flashed BlissROM, as it is the third step in the process.
The reason why I go back to stock using the all-in-one tool is because I don't have anything else to flash. The whole reason I even had a soft brick was because I tried to go back to stock after my BlissROM update and flashed a OTA from the oneplus site. I probably did that incorrectly, however. Idk how what sideload is or how it functions. So that all-in-one tool is my only safety net.
