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.

Hi all,
Checking many threads I understand that the easiest way to get Oxygen OS in Kb2000 (Chinese version) is trough the "local upgrade" options.
You download the last version of Oxygen OS from the Oneplus site, you put in the root of the phone and then it's easy to install with the tool in the system option.
But this it's not working if the version number that it's running on the phone it's newer or same of the version that you want to install. If you update, you can't do like this.
That's my explanation for everybody looking for this conversion.
My question is, use this guide:
Oneplus 8T (Cyberpunk Edition) - HydrogenOS (Google Apps, Theme, OTA Updates!)
Originality/HydrogenOS If you have a Chinese Cyberpunk Edition phone with OxygenOS, you'll notice that the Cyberpunk theme/assets are missing, and OTA updates lead to a boot loop. This guide will tell you how to restore the phone to its original...

To restore an old version of hydrogen, apply only the first step, and then use the local upgrade it's ok? Am I right? Someday knows other way?
Thanks.
Hey everyone, I've been trying to search for a solution to rooting my OP7 from T-Mobile and I think I have hit a dead end so I went ahead and created this post to ask for some advice.
So backstory: I have a business account with T-Mobile and they allow me to unlock my phone with little to no hassle at all, I unlocked my T-Mobile phone, and my OP7 got updated to Android 11 over night that I didn't realize it happened my current build is: Oxygen OS 11.0.1.1.GM31CB and my model is GM1915.
Okay so I am following this guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/unlock-bootloader-root-oneplus-7-pro/
I have followed through with Step 1, unlocking my OEM, and Step 2, unlocking my bootloader. So for step 3, the guide says to flash TWRP and from what I've read there is no TWRP that works for Android 11 right now so I am not sure if I can do that. Then step 4 is to flash Magisk after booting to recovery, but I am not sure if I can actually do that with TWRP?
So the question I got is how do I go about rooting my OP7? Can I root without TWRP? The guides video also said I needed a bin file of the current OS but there seems to be none available for GM31CB. Curious where I go from here. Can I roll back to Android 10? Do I need to switch over to the international version? and if I did would I be able to downgrade back to Android 10?
Thanks in advance.
Edit 1: I just converted to the international version and will be rooting that way.
was just about to answer you...hope u got it working the international way...i have twrp working...u must flash a zip to decrypt your internal...search or hit me later...i can email it to you or something...and if possible...next time you update to A11 Tmobile can you save it?....can't find it anywhere online...
That guide is pretty outdated I feel like. If you have you phone unlocked through T-Mobile you can simply follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...unlock-twrp-root-and-update.3940368/#poststop
It's the one I followed to get my phone rooted + twrp installed.
I am in the same boat, T-mobile decided to push android 11 and rebooted. Android 11 is running fine with all my data intact but i have lost root and recovery. Trying to figure out easiest way to regain root, not worried about TWRP at the moment. Seems like patching the boot.img with magisk is the way to go but I cannot find a download from T-mobile for the full update to extract the payload.bin and boot.img. Is the payload.bin accessible using a file manager on the phone to copy to sdcard then transfer to PC? If not looks like waiting for some workaround or formatting data and starting from scratch
OOO just saw OPs edit, looks like i might be switching over to international firmware too and going that route. Did not plan on doing this today.
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

Wonder if anyone else is having these issues. Went from T-Mobile to EU version, updated to C33 last night and I still have horrible battery life.
Phone has a massive battery drain and when I restart takes over 5 minutes to connect to cell service, sometimes even longer.
Any thoughts? Thinking of going to a custom rom

My first post on XDA forums. but just reflash using the TMO msm tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4180981/ choose OOS 11.0.7.9 then use the TMO to EU msm tool again, unlock the bootloader using the unlock.img you got from oneplus then run through the setup after this internal storage wont be wiped. then download the oneplus updater tool. turn on advanced mode, go for the stable full version but instead of choosing your device as the EU version, choose just oneplus 8T that way you get the international version. install full OOS update. not increments. Then just update to the latest android 12 from settings, about phone and update. if you want to stay on android 11 then make sure that you do all those steps again before using the updater app to upgrade to android 12. just install the latest OOS update from oneplus 8t repo ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oneplus-8t-rom-ota-oxygen-os-repo-of-oxygen-os-builds.4193183/ ) 11.0.13.13: OnePlus8TOxygen_15.O.31_GLO_0310_2202182359 go to settings and search for update. click on the cog and choose the OOS 11 update. Sorry if I made any grammer mistakes. If you want root I'll reply with the easiest way I found to root oneplus 8T. The latest update too.

thanks for the reply, so the International version is the better build? I submitted for the bootloader unlock key. Still waiting.
thanks
Technically you can already flash regular kebab 2005 without unlocking the boot loader unless you want to have root. Just download the full update from oxygen updater and locally update to the INTERNATIONAL version without boot loader unlocked.

Yeah the international version is the most worked on stable builds
Update: I got it, just used Oxygen Updater to get the latest full OTA and then did what @thirtythr33 said here.
Update and Magisk Root
How do I update my Magisk Rooted oneplus 9 pro without losing root access?
forum.xda-developers.com

I used to be the one answering these questions but my genetics are kicking in and I'm having memory issues (no, seriously).
I converted my IN2017 to IN2015 Global, but never updated past 11.0.9.9. My phones is all sorts of laggy and i just need to refresh. I'm not concerned about fancy new ROMs, but I have nothing against them. What I do need is root and TMo 5G.
Please tell me what the best path forward is for me. I just need to know that I can get Magisk installed again after all is said and done. TIA.
