Huge favor... Developer preview 3 available - OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers

Hey all,
Can someone do me a favor and extract the boot.img from the OnePlus 8 developer preview 3 that was made available today? Unfortunately only have access to my work computer and can't install payload dumper to extract it myself. Thanks in advance.

I got you if I get on my laptop tonight. Or if I decide to flash it. Debating cause I'm itching to try it but I also hate losing root (especially for AdAway) and the possibility of breaking some apps/games. If you're running it, is it pretty stable?

Thanks bro. Been running it for a few hours now... Surprisingly haven't ran into any issues... The chat bubbles are a little buggy yet, but nothing major.
Screen cast is pretty much unusable... Display gets super wonky and distorted.

No problem man. No guarantees though. Just got off work and got quite a bit of things on my plate for the night. Any app problems at all? Does your bank app work?

Sorry man, been swamped with work lately. Haven't been able to get on a PC. A user above seems to have uploaded it for you. Let me know if you are able to successfully root DP3 and if so, let me know how if you don't mind.

Pixel - Google Edition...

Hi everyone,
I have a the Google edition of Pixel, and have unlocked the bootloader successfully. I would like to root the device somethow, as well as get tether working. I am on Vzw's original unlimited data plan, and this phone has replaced my wife's Samsung Galaxy S3 phone on verizon. We held on to the S3 for so long as it is rooted and with the ROM we could tether using Vzw's tether and pay nothing extra.
What can I do to get back into a similar situation with this Google Pixel?
Thanks so much in advance.

Install twrp and flash magisk for root. Any root tether app should be able to treat your tether data as standard data

Do you have a link for Twrp for Google Pixel and also one for majisk? It seems some threads are old, and I don't want to mess things up.

Haha good on you for asking cuz quite a few people have gotten close to bricking their devices using the boot-to-root method from the day the phone released lmao. A quick Google search for "twrp sailfish" will bring u to the latest version of official twrp. As far as magisk just look up magisk on XDA and the official thread will have the dl link (don't download magisk from anywhere else)
There's a Magisk "Tethering Enabler" module which I recommend you try, after you're rooted.

Hi KittRgnarok,
I have downloaded the following to my computer:
twrp-3.2.1-2-sailfish.img
twrp-pixel-installer-sailfish-3.1.1-2.zip
Magisk-v16.0.zip
My computer is a macbook pro so I don't believe I need any additional drivers as supposedly they are already available in the Mac OS. I was able to unlock my bootloader using a terminal session & adb.
How should I now proceed?
Thanks in advance.

Correct MacBook shouldn't needed additional drivers. Put the magisk and twrp zip files on your phone. Then reboot into bootloader. From there use the command fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-2-sailfish.img which should put you into ram version of twrp. From here decrypt your device and install the twrp installer zip file. Once that's done reboot into recovery and flash magisk and you should be good to go
I finally got it figured out I have installed TWRP, as well as Majisk. I've tested root using a root tester, and now I need to see about the module that mike.s was referring to- specifically "tethering enabler".
All this stuff is totally new to me, so I am creeping along at a slow pace... lol

In magisk manager there is a downloads tab and a modules tab. Go to the downloads tab and look for tether and you'll find it

You must've been posting as I was typing my message to you. I'm just now seeing that you provided some steps. Yes, I had figured that out and got it done. Life's good now.
I am doing some searching trying to figure out tethering, that's the last piece of the equation for now... hehehe..... On the old vzw unlimited data plan and I don't want to switch over to their new plans. If I can get this going, then my better half will be super happy, and then I will look into getting me a Google Pixel (but the XL version).

Thanks so much KittyRgnarok,
You pointed me in the right direction and I really appreciate that. It worked with no problems as I tested it and all's well. I then demonstrated it to my better half and she is super happy!!
Now I will order me one as well, but I am going to get the Google Pixel XL. I see the screen is larger on the Pixel 2, but heard there's been some "screen issues"? For me the lack of a phone jack is not all that big of a deal as I never hookup a wired headset and only use the bluetooth. *Ahem* on my phone I've only used a wired headset once or twice years ago when my bluetooth messed up. Lol....
Thanks again for everything!

Glad to hear both you and her are happy with the results . As far as the pixel 2 xl a lot of the screen issues were software side but there are also issues with burn in(which I've experienced a decent amount of on the og as well) I have a friend with the pixel 2 and I highly recommend it but be aware that it is modding hell if you intend to be messing with a lot of that. As far as staying on stock rom+magisk+Xposed though it works great.
Hi everyone
Can anyone please let me know if the files he downloaded is the same files i need to do the same procedure, i have a normal google pixel 32gb from verizon which i unlocked the bootloader on 7.1 then upgraded to 8.1

Thanks for the heads up on the Pixel 2 issues. I will probably stay with stock like on my better half's phone, and just want to root and tether. Now the burn ins, that kind of worries me. Hmmmm... decisons, decision... hehe...
To prevent burn in you can get the magisk module that hides the navbar and toggle that occasionally as that's the only place I really notice it aside from the statusbar which idk a way to hide. I've also heard inverting colours often can help prevent it

Thanks for that information. I did not realize that. And sorry for the delay in responding. I didn't get on xda yesterday as I got back home late last night. I will certainly look for that magisk module you mentioned.
Oh and by the way, I just got me a Google Pixel XL today
Now I need to work the same magic on this one. I've already got it activated at the VZW Store near where I live. *Woohoo*

Need help rolling back/unrooting my phone

I rooted my phone last week because I wanted to use substratum to theme my notifications. Since then, I've run into a bunch of frustrating problems.
Current Model: OnePlus 7 Pro 12GB version, build xXx_NoLimits_7.7 on OOS 9.5.11-GM21AB
Problems:
Phone used to be 9.5.11-GM21AA but now it's 9.5.11-GM21AB - does this affect anything?
Substratum hasn't worked in stock+root, and 2 different ROMs I've tried
Favourite app of mine doesn't work properly and I think it's because I'm on build 9.5.11 and not 9.5.10
How I messed it up: Started by rooting and trying to install Renovate ICE Rom, installed the wrong file which converted me to 9.5.5-GM21AB. Then I updated to 9.5.11 but it remained AB. I tried several times to unroot, roll back and get to 9.5.10AA but it always kept itself at 9.5.11AB. Sometimes my wifi would break. I currently have xXx NoLimits Rom installed.
Desired outcome: I want to unroot and roll back to 9.5.10-GM21AA stock
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks, that was super easy. MSM automatically rolled back my phone to 9.5.3.GM21AA.
I have one more question - if I want to update it to 9.5.10GM21AA, how would I do that? If I update through the system, it will take me to 9.5.11, which I do not want. If the process is easier if I'm rooted, I already did that. To top it off, my substratum is working now after I reset my phone to how it is now. All I need is to update it to 9.5.10 and I would be sooooooo happy .
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply! I thought as much. Can you clarify if these steps are right?
Go to https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=294300
Download the one I want (9.5.10AA)
Move the file to my phone's internal storage
Update via Local Upgrade
Is this correct? Will I still have root after I do this?

You will unrooted after the upgrade as itll flash completely stock.
Just re-roof after it and your good to go!
Hey @virtyx I copied the exact zip file I downloaded into my root directory for Local Upgrade but it wasn't recognized. I then tried to just flash the zip through TWRP but it said it was an "Invalid zip file format".
Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

For my purposes, 9.5.9 and 9.5.10 are good. 9.5.11 reverted something with the brightness and so I don't want to use it.
I found a zip from the OP site for 9.5.9 so I was able to update to that one and since I got root/substratum to work without issue, I'm happy to stay at this build. In my eyes, my phone is absolutely perfect now and I am extremely happy. The only thing I would change is the size but that has nothing to do with the software/OS. Thanks for everybody's help!

has Android 11 been rooted?

Hi,
from what I have read, no, its not a daily driver, yet. I'd wait till the beta's are available in`May, to give it a try.
Though you could always just flash the update & see if it is OK for you. If not revert back to 10.

I'm using it from the first day release. Stable as a rock, i didn't have any issue. I have a question, what I must do to switch from the last developer to the first beta?

Usually, you can either sideload the ota or flash the new image in fastboot after removing the -w. Who knows with google though, they might decide to change that procedure somehow, too Best bet is to just wait for it to be released and follow whatever instructions are given at that point.

The canary Magisk is buggy to say the least. After removing it from my P3XL a while ago, I had to revert to stable on my wife's P3 because attempted patching just results in the app closing. It patched fine with stable.

Yeah, no issues. Been running it for over 12 hours now with multiple reboots and EX kernel install. Flashed factory image without -w. Attempted to patch boot. On failure (app closing), I force closed canary MM, cleared cache and data from app and then uninstalled it. Installed the stable APK and patched boot. Flashed magisk_patched to both slots, and it booted fine. Then installed EX (old one). This morning , updated EX to the new one. Not a single issue since the canary app closure (which others have reported when patching on various devices for days on the canary thread).

Same result. After booting sequence it just ended up with "powering off" and went to recovery after rebooting. Must have missed something. Thank you. I'll wait for your patched file then.
Edit: I found the culprit. It's my magisk modules. I removed everything and managed to get it to boot. Now just need to figure out which one is causing the bootloop. Thanks!

Just saw your edit. Do you have the Edge Sense Plus module installed? It normally takes J a day or so update the module for the new build. You pretty much need to disable that every month until he posts an update.

No I don't use Edge Sense Plus. But I did use the Centre Clock module. I think it's related to the system UI crashing hence the powering off immediately after booting. Which might also explain why the animation was kind of laggy. I'm guessing something to do with the feature drop which affected the system UI which leads to incompatibility between the ui and the module. But yeah just a guess.

I do not use that module, but it definitely sounds like it could be an issue since you weren't actually boot looped and were able to remove it. I try to keep my module use minimal (and use well vetted ones only) to avoid wondering whether they are the root cause of issues when they happen. Best of luck. Just glad you are up and running.

fastboot flash boot --slot all magisk_patched.img

No, this was OT from the original thread title when the question was asked about 10.

Sorry to stay OT, but since you mentioned EX kernel, does using it also not hide the unlocked bootloader in our "new and improved" SafetyNet world? I'm one of those for whom everything is still working so far--Pay, banking apps, device is certified, etc. I'd hate to lose all that, though, because I'm not going to unroot. I guess if I have to I can use Pay on my watch and use the banks' Web sites instead of their apps.

TWRP on the P4a?

I was wondering if anyone knew about the partition schemes and whether there is enough room on the boot image to install custom recovery on the P4a?
The Pixel 3A did not have enough room on the RAM disk on the boot image. So installing TWRP, even a stripped down version compressed, on the P3a was a no-go.
Custom recovery was not necessary on the P3a. Just having and unlocked bootloader and root via Magisk gives a lot of options including custom ROMs.
However, I'm still curious if custom recovery will ever come to the P4a?

Not everyone will move to 11 right away if thet can get TWRP working on A10 first.

Good luck my friend. Stay on 10
We don't even have kernel source yet..
I don't think there was twrp for a pixel for a couple years was there? Pixel 2? And that didn't get past rc I don't think.

Thanks! As I said TWRP has not been needed and I was just curious.
However I did enjoy your insecure condescending attitude. It made me LMAO.
Again, thanks! ??

I know, it looks like TWRP has been doing a long slow death spiral.
We have TWRP on Android 10 for the Pixel C tablet. But of course among other things, there's no A/B partitions and Google abandoned support for the device a while ago.
Might be a while, pixel 3+ devices haven't had a 100% working TWRP for a long time.
They can still sideload ROMs and patch boot images with adb/fastboot
I'll miss this moving on from my 2xl. Nice to flash and update things without needing a PC

Yucky
Someone correct me if I am wrong but there are no factory images yet for the 4a so no rooting with Magisk until then?
Is it at least possible to unlock the bootloader right away? Is that just standard fastboot ADB procedure or is there something Pixel specific(first one)

Just unlocked my Pixel4a using the standard ADB commands. Will say that OEM Unlocking stayed grayed out, until I connected to my WiFi (No SIM) and let the phone connect to the mother-ship.

yea i believe you are correct, i think same steps for the pix4 can be applied on the 4a https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-4-root-magisk/
im not sure if there are other ways to get the boot img but id rather just wait for the factory images to release & mess with it then. gonna make a cronjob script to watch / notify me once its up.

If I get around to it this weekend, I may just do a rom dump to extract the boot.img. Haven't done it in a while. I'm still waiting for some screen protectors to arrive before I mess with my phone.

I can't find them either.
Isn't Android 11 going to make it more difficult to hide root anymore? I am tempted to root, but heard (or read) somewhere that with android 11 that it may not be worth it as any app (or something like that) will be able to see and not work.
This is the first phone I've owned that I think I'll be satisfied with stock. Ad guard does everything I need as ad away did. And it doesn't need root. Everything is fast! Now I don't have to hack Google pay.

Curious about adguard. I just tried it and won't install with chrome as browser.

Development [CLOSED][KERNEL] [Android 13] [v13.1] MVK - Maximum Velocity Kernel

.
Reserved
Placeholder thread for further development
Kernel development is fast underway. Those interested in helping test please let me know. The first thing I need to test is whether the builds Im making will work on ALL variations of the June release. Im just on the generic one and thats what I built for but anyone on a carrier build or the JP one that wants to verify boot and that things are working correctly that would be extremely helpful.
I have a rooted T-Mobile 6a if you're still looking for a tester.

I can test. I'm on the Verizon build.
Give me some time.....stuff ended up not working as intended. Probably tomorrow, but thank you.
Sounds good, looking forward to it. Also yes I'm on the June build.
Every new device I get has a learning curve to building for it. This one is totally new to me but Ill get it sorted out soon enough one way or another.
Ideally I want to resurrect Velocity....baby steps though
Sounds like a winner to me...I'm all about AOSP1
I'll let you sink your teeth into it and will prolly jump in after the August update...have a feeling it'll be substantial. We share the same opinion...fast and dependable above all.
Ok, I think were finally cooking with gas.....looks like gone are the days of a simple boot.img flash and Ill need to migrate to using an anykernel zip format, which is fine and in a lot of ways simpler provided you have an app to flash them. Not sure if you can sideload these but Ill look into it further. I should have an actual test up yet today for anyone who can flash it.

Yeah, I'm getting back into it after years of not messing with my phones, my last real contribution to XDA was in 2019. This time I'm hoping to get into the development scene rather than just messing around, good luck! Lots if not everything has changed since my days.
I ran out of time to get anything super exciting done (this is a giant PITA) but there is a zip in the test folder that "should" work on all June builds but feel free and let me know if it doesnt.
At this point this is a optimized (slightly by my standards) stock build. Everything works normally and it does feel better.
No idea if this works via ADB sideload but kernel apps should all work, FKM does for sure.

After flashing it with FKM, how would I go about getting Magisk flashed again? I haven't used FKM in quite a while.

Look forward to trying this out

Flashing with FKM results in boot loop for me, flashing stock boot.img didn't fix it. I'll just have to flash full stock firmware with wipe option disabled.
EDIT: Phone really did not like me using the flash-all.bat from firmware to flash it, refused to flash system partitions. Ended up using Android Flash Tool from Google and now the phone is back.
Thankfully the 6a is not my main phone so I can keep testing builds even if they bork the phone. Let me know if you need any logs.
What build are your on?
