I have heard before that there is a "Firmware" in your phone and flashing the latest stock BEFORE flashing a custom rom is advisable because it updates to latest firmware (yes I am asking this because of OOS 11 update).
Question is if this is true or not, the whole time I been using the oneplus camera on LOS 18.1 it has been crashing.. Would flashing this latest stock before a new custom rom be advisable for this reason and may fix my camera for example?
Also a question thats been on my mind for months for the experts, is there a chance corporate or other spyware could be written into this new "firmware"?
Thanks devs
Stock firmware is Stock or OS that comes from the OEM, which is Oneplus, so the firmware in this question is meant for OxyGenOS.
Yes, it may be fixed if you're on OxygenOS 10 before and upgrade to newer LineageOS18.1 which already use newer base firmware which is OxygenOS 11
spyware? believe me, you're not that special to pried into by a corporate. so stop thinking like that.
either you want to use it or not, it's up to you.

"LineageOS18.1 which already use newer base firmware which is OxygenOS 11"
How could it use OxygenOS 11 base firmware if LOS18.1 was released before OygenOS 11...

CustomROM can be build in any Base stock Firmware either 10 or 11, depends on the Maintainer to make it compatible or not.
for now, it's already been updated to 11, because LineageOS 18.1 is supposed to be Android 11, so it's naturally need base firmware OxygenOS 11.
I have OOS (Android 9), before flashing 11.1.1.1 should I first flash to this android 10 version because of firmware? Or just flash straight to 11.1.1.1?
You could just straight go to 11.1.1.1

I have upgraded my Samsung J4 which was running Oreo, to the latest Pie 9 android version! I have already downloaded the stock rom of Oreo version which I intend to flash with Samsung Odin on the computer! Are there any safety precautions that I need to take before downgrading? Thanks

Not really...just make sure its -XXU2 oreo. Otherwise you would get error and it wouldn't even flash anyways. I downgraded too...but back on pie with root now

Can you tell me why do you want to downgrade? Cheers!
Hello,
I liike the OnePlus 7 pro very much. But I am a fan of Oreo rom as we can root this rom easily and install Magisk and Xposed without any dificulty as for Pie or Android 10 roms( where Edxposed is causing various problems and most of useful xposed module are not working). I know the stock rom for this phone is android 10.
So my question is whether an android 8 rom availble for this rom and is it possible to flash it without causing any problems.
Kindly inform.
Thanking You

I can't have my husband dessert's?
The technical explanation is that this phone came with Pie as starter OS and therefore there's no Oero kernel or firmware blobs available. And only bet would be LineageOS based on Oreo, but who would be crazy enough to waste a lot of time trying to retrofit Pie kernel sources and Pie blobs to work with older generation LineageOS [emoji38] You usually switch to LineageOS on Oneplus when they stop releasing newer versions of OxygenOS for your phone, not to downgrade.

Dear XDA Community,
Sorry, this is probably a newbie question, but is it possible to update Android version when running a custom ROM such as Pixel Experience? To be more specific, I am still running MIUI on my Pocophone F1 and I am looking to flash something different soon, but I have noticed that there is a Beta version out for PE to be run on Android 11. The question is how do I upgrade if I am running Android 10 and the developers have not yet sent an update out? Who knows whether there will be an option to upgrade to Android 11 if Pocophone X2 is their priority now. Thank you in advance.
Hello mate,
Hopefully I have read your question correctly.
If a custom ROM is released for Android 11 you won't need the official system to be 11 first as the ROM itself will be built from/based on 11 so it will update your system accordingly when flashed.
Example, Nexus 5x ended official support on Android 8 but custom ROM builds took it to 9 and now 10.
As long as you follow the flashing instructions supplied by the ROM of choice you should be golden.
Hope that makes sense
Hello guys, I have a question: I want to update the firmware on my Poco and I use RROS 10. The latest firmware for European devices is already made Android11 (V12.0.8.0.r) can i still flash this with my Android 10?
Hi. As far as I know the only A11 stock ROM available for Surya is V12.0.6.0.RJGEUXM Europe Beta which you can flash over your current ROM (you'll have format data afterwards though). Don't know about this "Android11 (V12.0.8.0.r)". Better read up a bit more on this before you get your phone bricked
Thx man!
hey i cant seem to find any answers about this on the internet and i have no idea on which forum should i post this on my choices were the xiaomi.eu, orangefox but i have choose to reffer to you guys and i hope to meet some nice people. Im using a redmi note 9 pro (joyeuse) with the latest xiaomi eu rom
running android 11 with OrangeFox recovery. and this phone is about to get (its not out yet) its android 12 update. i need help updating it because i don't want to brick my phone. Also the reason why im not posting this in my phone's dedicated forum is becase the story should be the same for all the other people updating from android 11 to 12
So i have no idea if the version of orangefox recovery that i have supports android 12 (im running R11.1_2 STABLE) the website mentions nothing about either android support. there is also a BETA version of OrangeFox for my phone which is R11.1_3_4_A12_FBEv2 in the notes of this BETA version it says "This is an (FBEv2) Android 12 (and higher) only release. Do NOT use with Android 11 or earlier"
now lets say that the miui 13 update with android 12 is out. what do i do then if i want to update? more specificly in which order should i update the phone? should i first update my recovery and then the rom? or in reverse? or is there a way to update them both at the same time? there is also a possibility that by the time the miui 13 update comes out OrangeFox might come out with a new stable version that will support both android 11 and 12 at the same time so that will completely eliminate my problem.
Moving from Android 11 to Android 12 is UPGRADING, not updating what simply patches existing Android 11.
