Hey. I'm about to flash pixel plus ui and I want to know if there are any advantages to flashing dfe. I know I would have to format data to change roms but I don't plan to.
Wouldnt it be more intelligent to post your question in the existing thread for pixel plus ui?
Maybe you´ll find and answer here
As far as I know you will flash DFE if the rom is encrypted like A12. If a11 just ignore it.

Hii all
This thread regarding getting knowledge about encryption in custom roms
1.Currently is there any Recoveries can able to force encrypt rom ( even though rom didn't have encryption support)
Or is there any other way ?
2.actually flashing an custom rom from an miui roms doesn't need an internal storage wipe
In all MM, N, O roms
But now many roms asking for a password to start Android or to decrypt
Which we can only do that by formatng the internal
3.So is there any way that i can use miui and pie roms side by side without loosing internal
Bia any special recovery like that? Is there any way
Or should i have to wait for devs give support for encryption for piee roms?
4.and I Don't know why official twrp. 3.2.3 asking a password to decrypt phone (means format internal)
To use official twrp
Which is not required till 3.2.1 Twrps
I'll be happy if any dev or anyone having knowledge about this can answer my questions
Note :
Some questions may dumb for u
Then U can give the correct info to me
Thanks
Shouldnt this be in the q and a or discussion section?
I wonder if there's a way of upgrading the OnePlus 6 without flashing OOS? On the 5T there were firmware zip files that did the trick.
If not, is it possible to flash OOS in TWRP and immediately flash a custom ROM again without wiping any data?
Wow, this has to be the laziest post/person yet.

That is a sticky in the news and discussion thread that explains EVERYTHING on this exact topic. You don't even to do a search but just look before posting.

I couldn't find any firmware ZIP only fastboot methods. I just wanted to know if someone extracted it already?

Actually most don't understand what you are asking, they are assuming the full install is what you're wanting. Not understanding that the firmware can be installed without the os.
Seems to be only used and reference on samsung devices anymore. everyone else calls full install firmware

Without wanting to start a fight with how we call things I use ROM or software for the OS and firmware for the bootloader, baseband and other stuff that runs on the underlying hardware. That'd explain why I didn't understand the answer.
However, there appears to be no firmware zip without full OOS or at least only fastboot flash methods. But dirty flashing OOS and a custom ROM afterwards does work so the firmware will be updated and OOS overwritten

Thats exactly what i meant you won't find those separated out here. (by here i mean for oneplus6 ) everyone takes firmware to mean the full install.
I was hoping someone would get the modem for the t-mobile 6t but looks like i will have to make a clumsy attempt on my own when I have more time.
Some background: I'm coming from an OP3 which did not have this Slot A/B thing and you could easily just flash firmware going forward. I'm currently confused as to how custom roms will update firmware and such going forward.
I noticed there's 'systemless' roms now (like NoLimits), I don't really understand what the advantages/disadvantages vs something like Havoc OS are.
If I go with a custom rom, will I need to flash to OOS to update firmware then reflash back to the custom rom in the future?
I apologize if these are really newb questions, trying to find specific details with some of these keywords makes it really hard to find relevant information (and I've tried).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-noobs-guide-to-b-partitions-op6-t3816123
Link above is some info on A/B partitioning.
The benefit of systemless ROMs are that they are just Magisk Modules so installing and uninstalling is very easy. You don't need to boot into recovery or wipe anything.
Havoc is a full ROM and based on AOSP so wiping is needed, especially when security patches are different. Some people are decrypting their phones with the no verity zip but I won't say too much about that to keep things as simple as possible.
You don't need to flash any OOS firmware when on Havoc, and I think it's because custom ROMs have their own vendor image. More advanced users feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about this.
Flashing isn't really too different and I personally don't even think about A/B slots. You just need to remember to flash the TWRP zip file after a ROM flash to keep TWRP. And you also need to reboot back into recovery to install Google apps, rather than just after the ROM flash.
Custom kernels are now flashed last (after TWRP and Magisk).
This is how I've done it and have been issue-free.
Hi, I am new to flashing custom roms this is my first time doing this. I'm thinking of installing pixel plus ui 3.2 on my RN7 pro. I have watched a few videos on this but couldn't understand the process completely my main question is that do i need to flash fcrypt after flashing the rom or is it okay to not flash it and what problems I might face.
also i can't seem to find mi unlock tool. The one from miui site is different.

Fcryt is used to disable force encryption after flashing the roms ,if you want your phone to be decrypted you have to flash the fcryt disabler zip after clean flashing a rom .

So that means it is not necessary to flash fcrypt right ?
Also if i keep it encrypted will it cause issues while updating the rom ?
Hello! Recently I decided to unlock my a51 boot loader and try something new. And I wanted to flash a GSI from Google, but I really don't know if is possible and if it is, should I flash it through TWRP? I guess I should use vmbeta.img from google as well.
And if it's not possible, what android 12 GSI could I try to flash on this device? Thanks!
