OP7Pro T-MOB Downgrade to 10 after OTA?

I've been looking everywhere and all I find is answers related to Beta. I want to roll back to 10 after OTA updated to 11 on its own. there was no option not to update. I plan to root and disable updates once I get back to 10. Thanks!
OnePlus 7 Pro T-Mobile (carrier and bootloader now unlocked)
UPDATE: This conversion worked and brought be back to 9 and i just went to 10 und disabled automatic updates from there. Might try one of the roms now though.
Note: i used "ADB REBOOT EDL" rather than holding buttons

Question T-mobile oneplus 9 (LE2117) has an unlocked bootloader now?

Hello all, after lurking here for a while, I found something that's making me post.
I have a carrier locked OP9. I just received the update to Android 12, and it has broken critical features. (Particularly not being able to stop apps from being closed accidentally!)
I have looked at Lineage OS in the past, and the process to get the LE2117's bootloader unlocked was... complicated.
However, while trying to fix other problems, rooting around in the developer options, I noticed that "unlock bootloader" was actually toggleable!
I think I have an unlocked bootloader now, but it's on android 12, and all the guides for rooting and installing a custom MOD for this phone say you must revert to android 11 before anything else.
So what now? Am I waiting for lineageOS 19 to come out, because that's the one based on android 12? I'm new to custom roms, and don't get the coding side of how all this works. (But I'm pretty determined to figure this out.)
Thanks for any help or advice you've got!

each stock update has a new firmware right now atleast all the roms are based on a11 latest firmware im not sure since oneplus got a12 if roms will switch to the newer firmware here is to hoping!

Gotcha, thanks. So waiting for lineage 19 it is, it sounds like, since that one is based off android 12.

I am pretty sure there is root for 12. All you need to do is dump the payload from the 12 update OnePlus let's loose, and patch it with magisk and flash it via fastboot. Via bootloader it is easy I am using a TMobile OnePlus 9. All you need to do is revert back to 11 via a msm tool. There is a post here for that. After downgrading to unlock your bootloader is easy only takes time. There is a post for it I don't remember all the details but all you have to do is get you imei code and email OnePlus. Soon they will sent you a code to fastboot flash to unlock the bootloader. After that most of these 12 work for us on our model phone. I am using evolution x. It tells me every day I can go to 12 .

Yes yes they do.

I've run into this same issue with wanting to use a Custom ROM. I have the T-Mobile version on A12 and it's now rooted. Another user shared the patched image file with me. I flashed it with fastboot boot boot.img then direct installed through Magisk to gain root. But all the custom roms here require A11 downgrade through the MSM tool and you have to use an MSM tool for T-Mobile, which was shared with me and explained but I'm not willing to downgrade. Until a custom ROM releases that I can flash on top of A12 I won't use it. I've had bad experiences with MSM tool to recover from brick and didn't succeed and had to send back to OnePlus for repair.

It amazes me how many people have problems with the MSM Tool. I was afraid I was going to have problems after reading all the issues people have had and had zero and I've used it twice. Both times I just put the phone in EDL and connected it to the USB-C port on my tower. Windows 11 surprisingly didn't even give me any issues.

I can't get my phone to go into EDL mode. Ever. Took every suggestion I've read. It just never went into EDL mode

What worked for me was shutting the phone off, removing my case, holding both volume up and down, then plugging the phone in. The screen won't show anything, you have to look at the MSM Tool and see that it's connected to know you did it right. Both times I tried it worked perfectly.
You can also use adb reboot edl if you can get the thing to boot and have USB debugging turned on.

Moto one 5G Ace 2021 from Moto G7

I used a rooted Moto G7 on T-Mobil for quite a while. But it is now giving me some issues and I'm considering buying a 2021
Motorola One 5G Ace | 2021 from Amazon​For $299
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08NWD7K8H/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
I have a few questions.
1. Anyone using T-Mobil with this phone? Any problems? Special simcard for 5G or will my G7 simcard work?
2. Bugs or problems with the Motorola one 5G 128GB?
3. Does it come with android 10 or 11?
4. How easy to root?
Thank you.

1. Not on t-mobile.
2.I didn't find any bugs. I bought the retail us version.
3.It comes with 10. I am running 11 from Canada.
4. Root is easy, but not complete. You also need to get r/w access which is complicated but easy. Also any debloating requires the use of pm from an ADB shell or as a terminal command. There are good guides here on how to do all of this.
Custom ROMs are available, more on the Telegram channel.

Thank you Retief.
I went ahead and bought one and am setting it up.
One problem I'm facing is the touch screen is too sensitive. If I tap too forcefully near the top of a screen everything gets minimized (I forget the correct name for it). It's most annoying. Any ideas? Sensitivity controls?
Also, any way to get rid of the notch?
Thanks.

Mine is a usa T-mobile motorola moto one 5g ace, android 10, software variant t, model number xt2113-2, purchased April 20, 2022 from a T-mobile store. My old sim card would not fit. It's loaded with bloatware. I am also trying to root but its going to take some time to gather up all the correct programs and files so it doesn't brick. There's a Noob guide on this forum that offers great advice on how to root. I'll read it 5 more times before I do anything. If you do manage to root your phone please let us know how you did it.

I am rooted, r/w access obtained and debloated. I used the three guides on here.

That's terrific RETIEF.
Which 3 guides in here?
Did you hit any problems and if so how did you solve them?
Thanks.

The guides are in the guides section. The ones by Artcul8madness worked. Now that there is a working twrp, other methods are possible. You must unlock the bootloader first! I had no problems following the guides.

Thanks. Still a risky thing with bootloops, etc. I think I'll wait for the ota updates to Android 11 or 12.

I picked up one of these earlier this week (variant XT2113-2, 128GB just like yours) and am using it on T-Mobile in the US. It's working really well, no issues so far, and the 5G feels incredibly fast (it's my first 5G device - if speedtest.net is reliable, I'm consistently seeing >125Mbps download speeds in Los Angeles).
I specifically bought this phone to use with LineageOS, and the bootloader unlocking procedure and rooting went very smoothly. No issues at all so far with the device, LineageOS, or the unlocking/rooting.
Just as an aside, I opted for a used model off of Ebay, and they're going for between $150-$200 with the 128GB of storage ROM if you'd like to save some money.

Thank you for getting back to me. I too am well pleased with the phone and its performance.
I have been afraid to root it yet because of problems I read about.
1. How —exactly— did you root it?
2. Ive used lineageos on a previous phone. How well is it working for you on this phone?

Apologies for the delayed response, I thought I was set to receive email notifications for replies! I actually rooted it while flashing LineageOS - I first unlocked the bootloader by following the instructions on the LOS install page (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/kiev/install), then flashed Lineage Recovery via fastboot. From there, I rebooted into Lineage recovery (NOT the OS/system, it'll overwrite the new recovery), flashed the LineageOS ROM, then followed that with GApps and Magisk.
See the link I posted, you'll root it at step 6 under "Installing LineageOS from recovery". Download Magisk from here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk, rename the .img file it gives you to a .zip, and you'll be able to flash it at Step 6 above via sideloading or over a microsd, same with google apps.
Lineage is working well so far! The only quirk is that the lockscreen likes to randomly wake up, but I'm not sure if that's just my secondhand phone's fault. Wifi calling and VoLTE all work on TMobile.
Let me know if I can be of any more help!

Thank you for getting back to me. You are very kind and helpful.
When I get enough courage I'll follow in your steps.

Android 11 is downloading

Android 11 update is downloading and installing as I write this. US model. North American Retail channel.
Just sharing.

My TMO model is also getting notification for the 11 update.... but not taking it. I don't want it to kill Android Auto on my phone.

I'm not sure if it's 11 or 12 (I know 12 does for sure) that breaks AA on phone, but I'm not taking any chances - one of them or both do. This Ace is the only phone I have left with 10.

I'm having a problem with this ota update of my unrooted phone to android 11. It seems stuck at step 3 of 6.
I've seen the update process go as far as 66% of step 3 of 6 several times only for it to restart step 3 again and again. Something does not allow it to complete installing step 3. Internet has been available throughout.
Any suggestions? Is there another way to update?

Researching the web for why the android 11 is not installing on my phone I discovered all the bugs that the moto android 11 update apparently introduces. So I guess I'm lucky the update did not take. I turned off smart updates and will wait to see if and when Moto will get its act together.

It will probably show by now (3 days later). I had the same thing after an unintentional upgrade to 11, but that cleared after only a day when I connected to the Internet again. But apparently the typical wait time is 3 days. (EDIT/ADD) If it still isn't showing, try a reboot.
FYI (all), this phone CAN be downgraded back to Android 10 -- with an UNLOCKED bootloader only. I posted my experience in this Q&A section -- by accident (oops!) so it might get moved at any time to Guides, News and Discussion. Thus I won't post a link here because it might change. If you decide you want to downgrade just look for "Downgrading Motorola One 5G Ace".

I guess I was lucky the ota 'upgrade' to 11 got stuck on step 3.
Android 10 works fine for me except for random reboots. If I find a solution for that all would be well.

Question Motorola Edge (2021)

Hello, Can any smart person because I'm slow lol help me get the Recovery or the Boot.img for a Motorola Edge 2021, My version is 12 (S1RMS32.48-18-11-2-3). Thanks

You can download a factory image straight from Motorola themselves, using the Lenovo "Rescue and Smart Assistant" (Lenovo RSA).
I personally used this excellent guide from another user right on this very form, that also mentions grabbing the image(s).

I understand that yes but my problem is that I don't have a laptop or PC to run the program so I'm trying to find another way to get the firmware for my Edge 2021, And if I can't do that is there any custom ROM compatible with this device that I could use to patch it with magisk?

So far I have not seen any custom ROMs supporting this device (I think it should come eventually; the last gen has support).
This post includes a download link for an up to date Android 11 ROM. I haven't used it yet though. I'm a little nervous about downloading ROMs from random links, but since I used the guide from the same user (last post you replied to), it feels trustworthy. But use at your own risk.

oh forgive me for forgetting to mention this...
but I'm 99% sure you REQUIRE a PC to flash images onto a phone, since you use the adb debug tool to manipulate the phone while it's in fastboot mode.

I did try it but instead of fully flashing the img I just did fastboot boot so that it would only boot into it one time and it didn't work at all so my only chance of rooting my device is using a PC to get the firmware of my phone, And thanks for the help.
