I just brought an unlocked Oneplus 9 and using it on T-mobile network. I am having the following problems with Android 12 (OOS LE2115_11_C.61). I am wondering if Android 11 have these problems as well or not (only had the phone for less than 2 days).
1. Wifi Calling: Able to dial call but unable to hear audio from the other party. However, they can hear me w/o any issues. Tried resetting my network, it didn't resolve this issue. Currently using phone w/ wifi calling off.
2. Lockscreen Issue: There are no option to hide the actual pattern lock and also the pattern lock placement seems to moved further up on the screen.
3. Battery charging time no longer indicates on the lockscreen.
4. Sometimes the "Close All" button only closes all other apps besides the last one I were on. Sometimes it works. So, it's random.
If downgrading to Android 11 resolve some of the above issues, I have the following questions about the downgrade.
1. Is there a way to back up all my apps and app data locally and restore it after downgrade (like Tatinium Backup)?
2. Does downgrade require unlock bootloader?
3. If unlocked bootloader, would you suggest root, go for a custom rom or stay with OOS 11?
4. If downgrade to OOS 11, is there a way to keep security update w/o going to Android 12?
Thanks in advance!

1. Use Swift Backup. However, you will have to move all your data to a PC because it'll wipe when you go back to 11.
2. No. You'll have to unlock it again. Don't move your data back until after you unlock the bootloader though as it factory resets as part of it.
3. I rooted. My big thing is Gravity Box and ad blockers. Stayed with OOS though. Others are too much hassle compared to previous OPs. xXx (Magisk Rom) from the 7 and 8 days still works fairly well on 11. It hasn't been updated, but it also don't touch anything underneath. If you don't like it, it's easy to get rid of. It's customizable by a text profile you edit.
4. Not that I know of. I believe OP has gone on to A12. If you root, you can't take OTAs, you have to have full images. You can download them from one of the stickies.

1. If you use the local back up option under settings > system settings > back up and reset > local backup then most of your apps get backed up, but the downloaded data will not be saved and you have to log into the accounts on each app. I'm still looking for another way to backup, but I'm hesitant because this method of backup retains my T-Mobile SIM settings after I converted it to Global.
2. I was on OOS 12.41 on a T-Mobile branded OP9, and when I used @craznazn 's MSM conversion tool, it downgraded my phone to Global OOS 11.2.2. I suppose if you wanted to downgrade you could use his tool, or any MSM tool made for a T-Moble version on OOS 11, and it would boot that version, and then you could update to the latest 11.
3. I would suggest root if you have your bootloader and sim unlocked, if not, I would just stay on a stable version of OOS since you wouldn't be able to flash under fastboot or anything of the sort.
4 I don't think OP is doing security updates for the OP9 on 11 since it supports 12, but the option to go back is always there via MSM conversion through EDL mode on your phone.

Swift Backup is great for backing up the stuff that you'll want to save, such as Messages, Call Logs, Apps + App Data, some other things. Root is required for the App data backup, otherwise you can still use it for most functions without being rooted, or to enable more backup features without root, you can adb grant SECURE_WRITE to the app. Definitely worth checking out.

Oh wow yeah I'll definitely have to check it out! I've been testing my OP9 going back and forth from Tmo to Global to find the most reliable way to get there with the modem still intact, as I'm still a couple of days away from getting my unlock token.

Greetings. After trying Derpfest on my Redmi Note 7 Pro, I decided to switch back to MiUI. I wiped out the entire Custom ROM, then installed Indian version firmware, and then installed the latest MiUI ROM in recovery mode (I prefer Orange Fox). After that, I wanted to relock my bootloader so I got the latest MiUI 11 fastboot ROM and then used MiFlash and used the clean_all_and_lock option. My device relocked it's bootloader, however, it turned out that several things like sensors or Find Device service were not working correctly. It also showed a message "Find device storage corrupted, your device is now unsafe". Looking for solutions, I ended up unlocking the bootloader again, getting back OFox, and installing the persist.img file which I extracted from my fastboot ROM. This fixed the issue with the sensors. But now, I still can't get access to services like Find Device (both from Xiaomi and Google). If I have to avoid the 'Find Device Storage corrupted' error, I have to unlock bootloader. If I have to lock bootloader, I get the error message. What am I supposed to do?
I also have tried older Fastboot ROMs, although they were all MiUI 11. Should I try fastbooting into a MiUI 10 ROM and then get OTA to do everything else? If this is the case, which specific version of MiUI 10 ROM should I flash? I can't remember which version my phone came with. My model number M1901F7S. And also, I've never used Magisk. I didn't really care if I wanted to root or not. Derpfest passed Safetynet pretty nicely. But now I do not wish to root. I don't want Magisk or anything else, I want to secure the phone just as it was before.
EDIT : Turns out that Find Device (from both Google and Xiaomi) are actually working, just in a less effective scale than what I previously used to have (before getting the custom ROM). But yet, can I bring my phone back to the locked bootloader state? I want to secure it completely, just like how it was when it came out of the box. I also cannot install apps like Netflix. I would really like to know how to relock my bootloader.
EDIT 2: I've fixed it. Indeed, I had to flash a stock MiUI 10 ROM. Version 10.0.2 and whatever number ahead worked for me and gave me no problems, and then I simply updated to MiUI 11 using OTA Updates.
However, I do not recommend using MiFlash tool, and instead recommend pasting the ROM files into your platform_tools folder and then running flash_all_lock/flash_all. MiFlash may sometimes glitch and cause problems.
Hi there, I have the GM1925 (Sprint) model of the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G.
I'm running stock OOS 10.0.3GM25CC, rooted with Magisk, substratum, and an unlocked bootloader.
It's been years since I've run a stock ROM, so I really have no concept of how OTA updates work (I've always just flashed updates via TWRP). A couple days ago I got a system update notification for a 199MB download, and I'm wondering if it's "safe" to apply it, or if I need to do anything special first.
From what I've read online here and in the OnePlus forums, the recommendation is to do a "full" local update (something like a 2GB download), however the sprint firmware for the GM1925 doesn't have such an option in the system updates settings.
Can I apply this update safely without losing any of my data? Is there a guide somewhere for how to apply and survive OTA updates?
Update: I'm now getting notifications from Google Play Services saying "Couldn't install update" despite the fact that I haven't *tried* to install it.
Any advice? Is it safe to install? I don't want to wind up with a brick that I'll have to reflash and set up again.

From my experience from last incremental updates(onePlus7pro5g) I've just had to boot to recovery and flash twrp and magisk again..
You said you rooted and unlocked bootloader, just wondering if you could lmk how you did it, I have the same device and have been struggling.

When you say reboot to recovery and flash twrp again, do you mean reboot to the bootloader?
Did you do anything before applying the OTA, like disabling magisk mods?
EDIT: Also, do you have the Sprint model & firmware?

This is a bit off-topic I guess, but info to unlock the bootloader is here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...otloader-unlock-sprint-oneplus-7-pro-t4042145
You'll need a Windows computer to use the MSMTool in that thread. Also, pro-tip: uncheck the automatic reboot option in the MSMTool GUI to make your life easier when you have to reboot to the bootloader to run the fastboot commands.
If all goes well, you'll be running Android 9. Surprisingly that OS version claimed my phone was SIM-locked -- but applying the Android 10 OTA update fixed this issue. Then I rebooted to the bootloader, flashed TWRP, rebooted to recovery and flashed Magisk to root the phone.

In developer settings I turn on advanced reboot options, so I can easily hold the power button and it shows all the options(power off, reboot, recovery, bootloader, screenshot). If u have twrp fully installed u can just click recovery and then reflash twrp and magisk and reboot. About disabling magisk mods, yeh I always disabled rice and all others that may cause problems. But on this latest 10.4 update, I had apparently done something where I cldnt even get my system updates to download it. So I just ended up msm'ing my phone and then BL unlocking, updating to 10.4,then doing magisk and mods..?
There's a great telegram group with all the info for gm1925/1920 onePlus7pro 5g, should def go check it out, alot of help there.

What's the name of that Telegram group? The only one I can find for the 5G version is the McLaren 7 Pro.
I've also got the Sprint oneplus 7g Pro 5G/gm1925, and I am getting the notification for the update but am not able to install it. There is no option for the full download in order to use the methods described for other models. Would really like to get this resolved without having to do a full rewipe and flash, that's for sure.
I'm still holding off on applying this OTA until I can get some more info. I also couldn't find the aforementioned telegram group
Bumping this thread because there still doesn't seem to be a good guide for stock OTA updates on the GM1925.
I'm interested in doing this aswell. I have OP7Pro Sprint too. Just bootloader unlocked and magisk nothing else.
Though I have software version NoLimits IDK if that can be OTA'd.

Basically you need to back up all your data and your storage card area off the phone. Then you have to relock the bootloader to apply the update.( Relocking bootloader will wipe the phone. )
After applying update, unlocked bootloader again root and restore your data and files.
you will have to do this everytime sprint/t-mobile releases update. If you want to stay up to date. And you will get the Google nag at least once weekly until you do

Same here, but what I want to do instead of waiting for the OTA update from Sprint it's to flash the original ROM from OnePlus but I'm not sure which version could be compatible.
Hey all,
I bought a new OnePlus 8 5g T-mobile phone for my wife. She's on the RedPocket annual GMSA/ATT plan. I've stopped the auto OO11 update and I've gone into *#*#4636#*#* and selected "LTE Only" for the connection type (like I did with my old OP6) but it doesn't stick after a reboot.
My real question is:
Since 4G LTE seems to work properly with the T-Mobile stock OS, what are the reasons for converting over to the international version?
Will 4G still work after I update it to OO11.x? I don't mind it having the T-Mobile boot or bloat. I have mostly disabled/uninstalled the apps she doesn't need.
Thanks!!!
The Global version of the ROM can still get OTA updates, and gets them MUCH faster. For example always on display hit global firmware, than hit T-Mobile firmware like 7 months later. Same with Android 11, hitting T-Mobile devices a few months later than global.
T-Mobile also has bloatware that is NON-disable-able, even with adb commands. Unless your rooted, your stuck with it. And some of the package names are cleverly named so you wouldn't assume its anything bad.
You might not care about T-Mobile bloatware, but also remember it has spyware, and even if you don't really "care" about it, every time T-Mobile collects more of your data and pings it back to their servers, thats taking up recources/data on your phone, and by consequence, battery life suffers.
And T-Mobile devices collect A LOT of data, even if your not using them as your mobile provider.
Am I making it sound worse than it is? Probably. Doesn't mean everything I said isn't valid. But yes if you decide to convert to global data will work just fine.

@FoxyDrew Thank you for the explanation.
Just wondering about this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...nternational-with-bootloader-re-lock.4345305/
Do you follow the 1st part, followed by the last update? Is this the best way to install the global version?
Thanks again!!

np man, that guide is very complicated for no reason, converting to global is rather simple, but it's a 3 step process. This all assumes you can unlock your bootloader though.
1.) MSM back to stock T-Mobile Android 10 firmware. Specifically this one. This will re-lock your BL if its unlocked.
2.) Let that boot up, go into settings to enable OEM unlocking, and then unlock the bootloader.
3.) Once the bootloader is unlocked, flash THIS global Android 10 ROM via fastboot. There's a flash-all.bat file to make it simple. Once you've finished this step your essentially done, and on global firmware, you just need to...
4.) Boot the phone up and take the OTA update in settings to Android 11. There will be 2 OTAs to take, one FULL OTA to Android 11, than an incremental one to the latest Android 11 build
Optionally afterwards you can re-lock your bootloader, or keep it unlocked and root if that's what you/she wants.
If you're not familiar with MSM tool, and the drivers it needs, check out this thread.
Hello,
I followed a few different guides with different methods attempting to update my Oneplus 8T KB2005 from Oxygen OS 11.0.5.6 to KB2005_11_C.11 it ending up bricking my phone and i had to Fastboot flash TWRP to get the ability to wipe my entire phone loosing all 9000 photos and other data. needless to say the phone is now working but it reverted back to 11.0.5.6 with root still just with no data apps or anything.
I would prefer to update to Oxygen OS 12 and retain root. Can someone please direct me to the best method out thats using stable build not something thats gonna potentially be causing me to send CLI commands in fastboot for next 2 hours...
Reasons for updating are the buggy VO-wifi VO-LTE and the not usable 5G.
Thanks

Hello,
My initial plan was to switch from Oxygen OS 12 to Lineageos.
As it wasn't possible to go from OOS12 to Lineage Os directly, I downgraded to OOS11.
After installing Lineageos 13, I was not able to get mobile internet connection.
This is why I tried Pixel Experience.
Unfortunately mobile internet connection is still not possible with Pixel Eperience.
It worked with OOS12 but I haven't checked with OOS 11.
My plan was now to check, if mobile network will work again when I go back to OOS12.
But the guides regarding this failed because I don't have the "oem unlock" menu option in Pixel experience. And I am not confident if I'm doing according the right guide.
...I'm kinda stuck now because I feel as I can do nothing w/o oem unlock and I failed to get that option..
Could someone give me a hint how I can:
1) Activate OEM unlock on Pixel Pxperience (Of course only if necessary at all)
2) Get mobile network working (I assume this might be a problem of some not ROM related "Piece of software"?!)
3) Get back to LineageOS with working mobile network
Thanks in advance
One time you do the OEM unlock, this will remain unlocked until you flash the stock rom with MSM option
Yeah, some ROMs hide the OEM unlock option because there is people that try to relock BL with custom ROM and this generally causes a hardbrick.
About get network working, idk if its custom rom issue, since my op7 pro is carrier locked and im unable to unlock it, sometimes custom roms shows me like i have no sim insterted (even though I have a sim put on of course)
So, if its a recurring problem, id suggest to revert to OOS first and try again.
And since you can't unlock bootloader on OOS12 due to some issues that haven't solved, you need to do it on OOS11 or lower and upgrade to OOS12, Two times (some custom ROMS needs to have OOS12 on both partitions)
Also, LineageOS is based on OOS12, the only rom i know is based on OOS11 is YAAP. So, that's might be the issue.
I'm not that kind of expert, but maybe another user can help you better, also, sorry for my english!
Good luck c:
MSM worked for me, thanks for the help. I switched back to OOS 11 successfully. Mobile data was working there, again. After installing LOS20, mobile internet didn't work again.
Did I understand your instruction correctly?
1) LOS20
2) OOS11
3) Unlock
4) OTA to OOS12
5) LOS20
How can I go to OOS12 "two times"?

Basically is MSM stock rom flash first, from here, the steps should be like:
1) Update to OOS11 or stay at OOS10/9 (it depends of the MSM package you found)
2) Bootloader unlock
3) Update to OOS12
4) Use the localupdate.apk found on Oneplus forums to "update" again over OOS12, this option will install OOS12 on the inactive slot, and you will have OOS12 on both slots
5) LOS20
i know you can flash OOS12 by fastboot method, but I don't know the steps to follow in this case, but it is likely that you can get a guide here
It worked! I have now mobile internet with LOS20. Thanks a lot for your help!
