1 - I haven't done any rooting/custom romming in many years, and never on a OnePlus
2 - I DO NOT HAVE WINDOWS
I have seen a few tutorials but they all talk about installing some MSM tool and they all have instructions ONLY for Windows. Is it possible to do the MSM thing from Linux? Is there some other way to get from Hydrogen 9.0.1 to Oxygen 9.0.2 - I thought I would be able to get from HydrogenOS to Oxygen 9.0.2 with the minor release difference but no, I am still getting the "won't downgrade" message . Any pointers? Thanks!

There is a "downgrade" zip, aka OxygenOS 5.1.11 (Or maybe not this exact version, but iirc it's the latest Oreo version) that you can flash to downgrade to Oreo, it doesn't trigger anti-rollback. From this, you can flash any more recent version, including OOS
Just found it, i think :
http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amaz...all_1808102118_downgrade_68586451f7334c4d.zip
This file can be flashed via the System Updater (Local Upgrade). It will wipe everything though, if i read correctly. I used it once to get from Betas to Stable (The Stable version was older, i couldn't flash it).
You could also follow one of the tutorials on this forum, unlock, flash TWRP, and just install the latest OxygenOS this way
Dear all,
I am waiting to arrive an unopened Oneplus 7 pro (GM1910) from China with, I guess Chinese ROM Hydrogen.
I just want to flash it and install the Global ROM Oxygen valid to my spanish language.
Is there any official way to do it from Oneplus?
Could you please tell me how to do it in the easiest and safe way? (links or whatever)
I have read about TWRP and Magisk but l don¡t know and undestand if I HAVE to do everthing they do in the tutorial videos.
Titokhan said :
GM1910 is the Chinese variant OnePlus 7 Pro running HydrogenOS (with GM21 build tag).
----> It is possible to flash both GM21AA (global) and GM21BA (EU) OxygenOS firmware on top of the HydrogenOS using the Local Upgrade method.
----> Bootloader unlocking is not necessary for switching to OxygenOS.
After conversion, you'll get OTA update from the respective branch.
I just want to have the properly ROM for my country (Spain) and get update normally in the future.
Thanks a lot in advance¡
As the quoted post implies, just download the firmware onto the the root of the internal SD card and use the local upgrade option found in the settings. Settings -> System -> System Update -> Top right gear icon -> Local Upgrade

I'm trying to do the same, but Local upgrade option doesn't work - selecting the file pops up an error message that downgrading is not allowed.
Any Idea's?

You will have to wait until the next version of the global rom is released. Looks like your copy of H2OS is newer than the OOS version you're trying to install.

i have a GM1910 too and its now running Oxygen OS 9.5.8 without any issues
I bought oneplus 7 pro model 1910 and it comes with oxyOS 9.5.8 with may security patch , is there any different between global and Chinese one when you root of flash ROMs
Hey guys. I have the Cyberpunk 8T that has been flashed with Oxygen OS. It originally had Hydrogen OS since it is a Chinese market phone. I did not flash it and was done by the reseller. Everything works great with google play and phone service so want to tread carefully. There is an OTA update showing up, Oxygen OS version 11.0.5.6.KB055AA and from everything I read the phone (being originally hydrogen OS) will not allow Oxygen OTA updates and goes in an endless boot loop.
I tried to download the update and do a local update, but the gear icon and local update option is not there.
Hope to get some insight on a better way to update
There used to be a thread about this but I can't find it anymore in the new version of the forum... If someone is less blind than I and give the link, I would be greatful.

Thanks for posting, could not find anything on this phone yet. Figured it was too new

Pros: Google Apps and a Global ROM.
Cons: No OTA updates and no original Cyberpunk theme.
Best case scenario for OxygenOS users would be for Oneplus to fix the OTA updates for Cyberpunk phones. This would stop the bootloop problem people are having.

Pros: Working OTA updates, the original Cyberpunk theme, and Google Apps!
Cons: A little bit of time and maintenance.

Overall I would highly recommend trying the HydrogenOS solution I've linked above. It works excellent for me, so I won't be pursuing a solution for OxygenOS unless things change. The guide I wrote and linked above should get anyone with a Cyberpunk phone on to HydrogenOS (with OTA updates, original theme, and Google Apps).

Hi,
so even if we flash full OTA zip file of 11.0.5.6KB05AA version (or EU version) from the HydrogenOS, for future update we will not be able to use phone OTA?
Thanks,

Your results may vary, but OxygenOS' (KB05AA) OTA updates aren't currently meant for the Cyberpunk phone. Many people have gotten the bootloop issue on OTA updates.

Ok, so I have tried updating using EU version "Oxygen_15.E.21_OTA_0210" ==> resulted in bootloop. I wiped the phone and back to hydrogenOS.
Now I will see if I can flash the Global version and update this reply.
Edit:
flashing global full OTA "15.O.20_OTA_0200" also resulted in bootloop. I wiped and back to hydrogenOS.
only thing is confusing me is... how did the vendor install global oxygenOS and sell to people.
I've tried to contact their support team, so far 5 days no answer - I'm as confused as you @shadww... I'm currently just using it as a regular 8T, I've never had the phone in Hydrogen OS tho - build is Oxygen OS 11.KB05AA and update is to Oxygen OS 11.0.5.6.KB05AA...

Have you tried to do the OTA update?
I also have the 8T Cyberpunk edition running on 11.0.4.5.KB05AA right now, i have SOME Cyberpunk things (theme as well as always on display clock (no wallpapers) i have tried to install newest update with Full zip and gets me to bootloop, ill be in touch in case i am able to achieve anything.
I have already said they hacked the phones. I wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese sellers have a half decent working TWRP that they aren't sharing

Hacked, how so? It seems like all they did was obtain/install the KB05AA ahead of schedule. I guess it's all hearsay, either way.
I received my 8T Cyberpunk 3 days ago. I've requested the Seller to ship it off with HydrogenOS as stock so I can still have the original themes. They've also taken the liberty to install GApps on my HydrogenOS as well. So right now I can use Google Services and GPay. They have deleted all the Chinese Bloatware (But still kept Market, Wallet, Browser).
Running: Hydrogen OS 11.0.5.6.KB05
PRO:
GoogleApps (Playstore, Play Protect, Google Pay)
Original CyberPunk Theme with HydrogenOS
OTA HydrogenOS Update with no problems
CON:
AndroidAuto does not work.
Google BackUp does not work (Only Google Photo backup works)
Google Assistant can be dodgy.
Where did you buy please?

Yep - results in bootloop so I stopped trying and waiting for a solution or response from Oneplus. Currently using my phone as a regular 8T (with no cyberpunk theme)
Hmm I just ordered the Cyberpunk edition and now I'm worried we won't be able to update. Maybe the next update will resolve the issue?
Hi,
So I have some good news (I think).
I was trying to flash OxygenOS (Global and EU) on my HydrogenOS (11.0.4.5) Cyberpunk8T. It ended me bricking my device. (Yes, I was fooling around with fastbootd >_<)
I went to this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4180837/
and used the MSM tool @OniAraAra linked: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=320230
I was able to get back to HOS (11.0.1.2). So this even downgraded my version, and I had all cyberpunk elements.
Then it hit me. I was trying to figure out how did the sellers flash the global OOS.... and most of xda members here state that their device came on "11.0.4.5.KB05AA ", and it had " SOME Cyberpunk things ".
So I went and did an MSM restore on my Cyberpunk8T HOS (11.0.1.2) to EU OOS 11.0.4.5 (from unbrick-tool thread above). Guess what it worked. I was able to boot to EU OOS 11.0.4.5.
Then right away, I did a local OTA upgrade using full package EU OOS 11.0.5.6 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4180837/).
I booted to EU OOS 11.0.5.6, have cyberpunk boot animation, wallpapers, theme, icon pack, and sounds (basically everything, let me know if I should check something specific).
ps: I also heard that local upgrade is not available on Global or India OOS, thats why I tried it on EU. Not sure if one does EU MSM, then flash Global Full OTA locally if that might work or not.

That is interesting. I wonder if there's just a problem with the international OTA file?

Not really sure. I did try previously local OTA to full EU OOS, but had the bootloop issue similar to international/global OTA.
There is also always the possibility that seller did not do proper global MSM revert? or that going to HOS and then again to OOS might do the trick? (not really sure here, I am just stating random possibilities)
Good thing is one can easily test using MSM tool to revert back.

That is pretty much what I am looking for! Cyberpunk theme with Oxygen OS and OTA updates. It seems from your method you can do the OTA updates. I assume this method will reset the whole phone correct?
Regarding version, does it matter If I use Global or EU? I am in US and everything has been working with phone service with the global OS, just no cyberpunk themes or OTA updates

1) So, it looks like fine to update through full OTA (EU) for me. I wonder if in the future I will have to wait for full OTA updates or can do incremental ones too (won't know until tested in the future).
2) Yes, this method will reset/wipe the phone. (see: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4180837/ )
3) Regarding EU vs Global, I think there might be difference in some apps. However, I believe that bands information are stored seperate to the ROM, so EU or Global OOS should work fine from operation stand point. Also, I am not sure about 5G though, as I heard US has different standard or something. Not sure if that is also affected by OOS verison (I think it should be hardware thing though).

When doing full OTA, does that wipe your phone? just wondering because im worried ill have to wipe everytime o get an update. regardless i will be testing your trick later on today !
Hi. I am new on XDA-Developers forum and I am also trying root my phone first time and have some questions about it what maybe all have been here in forum already but asking still.
So I want root my phone (OnePlus 9 Pro, LE2121_11_C.61) and I want continue using OnePlus own OxygenOS. Is it possible?
If I have understand right I can continue use OxygenOS and there is no need for updating to use custom ROM after root. But when coming new updates for OxygenOS from OnePlus, then I need download and update it manually every time or have some kind of auto update feature or app?
If I want update to global version my 9Pro how it can do? Lose I all data in process? This is some Saudi Arabian version and I want Global or EU version or what ever else than Saudi.
This guide maybe best what is available and Magisk method is easiest for first timer?
How to Root OnePlus 9 Pro – Four Different METHODS!
Hello, today, in this article, I will show you how to Root OnePlus 9 Pro. This guide is very straightforward. You just have to follow the steps carefully.
www.guidetoroot.com
1. Yes. I'm doing it now.
2. You will have to download the whole ROM and do a local update, then patch it with Magisk before rebooting to keep root. You'll patch the inactive slot. It'll change to that when it reboots.
3. It looks like you're using an A12 slot. I'm not familiar with your version. Under A11, you could use Oxygen Updater, download the version you want and flash it. Your data would remain. If you were on A12 and you downgraded to A11, you would lose your data.
