Hi again everyone, title pretty much says it all. I'm not too great with rooting, so I was wondering if I can keep twrp, magisk and root from 9.5.3 and download and install the new 9.5.6 OTA update for the GM21AA OP7 Pro, or if I'll have to do separate steps to be able to keep root. The update is 178MB
Don't do like me. I updated to 9.5.6, rebooted and update went ok, but I lost root. Thought there would be a patched boot image already but havent found one.
update: go here
go to Post #299

Just open the downloaded ota, rip the boot.img from that file. Patch manually in magisk that boot.img. Then install the update, and reboot afterwards to fastboot mode. Flash the patched img and you are done.

Post 6 in this thread is how I did it and retained root, but I lost TWRP (I knew I would before doing it) I used the steps used for the OnePlus 6t for rooted users, knowing I would lose TWRP.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/t-mobile-converted-to-9-5-4-received-t3934761
These are the steps for the 6t for TWRP users but I know TWRP is having decryption issues so I'm not sure if the below will work.
1. Boot into TWRP and Flash the Latest Magisk Uninstaller
2. Flash the latest Full Oxygen OS Zip
3. Flash the TWRP installer Zip
4. Reboot to RECOVERY to make sure TWRP stays and continue to root.
5. Flash the Latest Magisk to maintain root
6. Reboot System and Enjoy the latest firmware without any data loss

A partial ota with unlocked bootloader will brick your phone. Download the full zip and update in TWRP if you have it. If bootloader locked, install as normal, wait for it to finish and ask to reboot, don't reboot and open magisk manager and install to inactive slot. Reboot. That process will cause you to lose TWRP if you have it. If you have TWRP, flash full ROM in TWRP, flash TWRP.zip, reboot recovery and flash magisk.zip.
This way is easy and painless.
Yep performed the system update as well. It saw I was rooted and proceeded to download the full OTA. I let it update, did not reboot. Went to Magisk and Install to Inactive Slot(After OTA) and all is well. Im still rooted.
Posted by another user and the way I just did 9.5.6. Yes you will lose TWRP as usual if installed.

So dumb question here since I'm sorta new with this device (I've had Samsung and other devices that I've rooted so I'm aware of the basics).
Where do I download the entire fastboot zip files for say 9.5.6.GM31CB (TMobile variant)? I can't find it on OnePlus or T-Mobile. Also side question, do we still need to use Chinese certain of TWRP to get decryption working for internal storage? Thank you for whatever info you can provide.
I wonder, is there a patch for 9.5.6 yet? Let's say I have a locked bootloader now and stock on 9.5.6, how would I go about rooting my device? Or will I have to wait for the patched boot.img?

Not if you unlock it, install magisk and patch the boot image within the app. I'd suggest looking for full zip of 9.5.6 just to use in case.
Which TWRP are you guys using? I see there is a Chinese version with decrypt working. Is that one safe?

There doesn't seem to be any fastboot ROM for the T-Mobile variant nor any Full OTA zips yet. Just have to keep looking in the PRO Guides, News and Discussion section. Personally I would not use that version of TWRP. Im waiting for the other TWRP by Maurinofrio to get Decrypt working.

So weird they claim they are as friendly to developers as pixel yet I don't see links to firmware. Not sure if I'm going to even bother rooting without backup of a full zip with all images inside. I guess I could get 9.5.3 and then do a few upgrades to get back to 9.5.6 but I'd rather have full file for 9.5.6.GM31CB

They are as developer-friendly as Pixel phones, (when you buy unlocked directly from OnePlus) not the T-Mobile version. Buy a Pixel from Google it OEM unlock to unlock the bootloader, buy a 7 Pro from OnePlus it's OEM unlock to unlock the bootloader.
In addition about you going to 9.5.3 and then upgrading to get back to 9.5.6
The 9.5.6 you're currently running on the T-Mobile version is not the same as 9.5.6 on the unlocked version. The unlocked version is a few builds newer.
If I were you I'd wait till the MSM tool that works with the T-Mobile version is released.

Msm tool? I'll get an unlock token Friday. Why would I need that? Newer than 9.5.6.GM31CB? I don't think so. This includes April security patch. I'm guessing the only big difference is the radio image is different for TMobile. Again I'm new to this mfgr so I'm trying. They aren't making it easy for me. I have an unlock phone. So shouldn't matter if I got it from T-Mobile. I can OEM unlock. So I can manipulate at will. Trouble is I'm scared I'll break the phone since I don't know this line of Android devices. I considered changing this to international but afterwards in worried it'll not work well in T-Mobile

There are a lot more changes in the international 9.5.6 GM21AA then that. they optimized double tap to wake and ambient display, fixed Bluetooth headset delays, camera updates, and other things.
The T-Mobile version will always be behind on software verse the international version.

That's the main reason everyone with the T-Mobile version is trying to unlock their bootloader, so they can run the international software. T-Mobile's software will always be behind the unlocked version. 9.5.3 for the unlocked version had the April security patch, that was three versions ago.
I owned the T-Mobile version of the 6t and the unlocked version of the 6t, the reception was the same.
My T-Mobile 7 Pro is unlocked running the international GM21AA software on T-Mobiles network. I uninstalled the Renovate Ice ROM for the screenshot so you can see I have the same model number as you running GM21AA.
But currently if you mess up a T-Mobile version there's no way to get it back because the MSM tool for it is not available yet. If something goes wrong you might be stuck with a phone that doesn't work until it's released.

Thank you for your feedback. It's helpful to me. I am guessing an msm tool is something that puts stock firmware onto the device fresh in case you brick it. Couldn't I just fastboot flash 9.5.3 full package which I think is downloadable within OnePlus support?

Correct about the tool, returns the phone to 100% stock out of the box. Not 100% sure about whether or not the fastboot flash would fix a soft bricked device. That could possibly work.
But I know currently it's impossible to go back to T-Mobile software without the tool.
has anyone contact oneplus support either via email and chat and requested full ROM download links?
theyre pretty helpful like that.
Alright so I have a T-Mobile OP7 pro. It came with 9.5.3 GM31CB installed. Everytime I try to OTA update it I get the generic installation error. I've factory reset, reset cache, etc.
The general consensus around here seems to be to flash it to the international firmware. Is there anyway to flash it to a newer build of the T-Mobile firmware and hopefully receive OTA updates in the future with no problems? I understand the flashing process but it seems like getting the T-Mobile zip file would be the problem.
Any suggestions to make my OTA install work or to flash it to the current T-Mobile version, which I believe is 9.5.10 GM31CB, would be greatly appreciated.
So I think I found what I need in the One Plus 7 Pro MSM tool. But all the guides are for switching from TMO to international or from international back to TMO. If I am going TMO to TMO do I still need som unlock and root access?
MSM tool flashing a T-Mobile version seems to work well. I used the first MSM T-Mobile thread posted in the past and then was able to OTA update to current. The only trick is to use the MSM tool and get any OTA updates applied before modifying. It looks like there are newer T-Mobile MSM versions, but I can only vouch for the efficacy of the first such thread's version since I haven't tried the newer versions.

I finally got it to work, thanks for your input. I've flashed with Odin but this was my first OP flash.
I received a Oneplus 8t (Cyberpunk Edition). The phone was supposed to have HydrogenOS as it is a Chinese phone. However, the vendor installed Global OxygenOS (KB05AA). After OTA updates, the phone wouldn't reboot and would get stuck on the Cyberpunk boot animation.

OxygenOS
I tried updating/restoring OxygenOS using the the MSM download tools here:

Disclaimer: By attempting any of the processes listed in this thread you accept full responsibility for your actions. I will not be held responsible if your device stops working, catches fire, or turns into a hipster and claims to have been...
forum.xda-developers.com
Pros: Google Apps and a Global ROM.
Cons: No OTA updates and no original Cyberpunk theme.
Best case scenario for OxygenOS users would be for Oneplus to fix the OTA updates for Cyberpunk phones. This would stop the bootloop problem people are having.

HydrogenOS
I have made a guide on how to restore HydrogenOS and add Google Apps:
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...
forum.xda-developers.com
Pros: Working OTA updates, the original Cyberpunk theme, and Google Apps!
Cons: A little bit of time and maintenance.
________________________________________
Overall I would highly recommend trying the HydrogenOS solution I've linked above. It works excellent for me, so I won't be pursuing a solution for OxygenOS unless things change. The guide I wrote and linked above should get anyone with a Cyberpunk phone on to HydrogenOS (with OTA updates, original theme, and Google Apps).

Hi,
so even if we flash full OTA zip file of 11.0.5.6KB05AA version (or EU version) from the HydrogenOS, for future update we will not be able to use phone OTA?
Thanks,

Your results may vary, but OxygenOS' (KB05AA) OTA updates aren't currently meant for the Cyberpunk phone. Many people have gotten the bootloop issue on OTA updates.

Ok, so I have tried updating using EU version "Oxygen_15.E.21_OTA_0210" ==> resulted in bootloop. I wiped the phone and back to hydrogenOS.
Now I will see if I can flash the Global version and update this reply.
Edit:
flashing global full OTA "15.O.20_OTA_0200" also resulted in bootloop. I wiped and back to hydrogenOS.
only thing is confusing me is... how did the vendor install global oxygenOS and sell to people.
I've tried to contact their support team, so far 5 days no answer - I'm as confused as you @shadww... I'm currently just using it as a regular 8T, I've never had the phone in Hydrogen OS tho - build is Oxygen OS 11.KB05AA and update is to Oxygen OS 11.0.5.6.KB05AA...

Have you tried to do the OTA update?
I also have the 8T Cyberpunk edition running on 11.0.4.5.KB05AA right now, i have SOME Cyberpunk things (theme as well as always on display clock (no wallpapers) i have tried to install newest update with Full zip and gets me to bootloop, ill be in touch in case i am able to achieve anything.
I have already said they hacked the phones. I wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese sellers have a half decent working TWRP that they aren't sharing

Hacked, how so? It seems like all they did was obtain/install the KB05AA ahead of schedule. I guess it's all hearsay, either way.
I received my 8T Cyberpunk 3 days ago. I've requested the Seller to ship it off with HydrogenOS as stock so I can still have the original themes. They've also taken the liberty to install GApps on my HydrogenOS as well. So right now I can use Google Services and GPay. They have deleted all the Chinese Bloatware (But still kept Market, Wallet, Browser).
Running: Hydrogen OS 11.0.5.6.KB05
PRO:
GoogleApps (Playstore, Play Protect, Google Pay)
Original CyberPunk Theme with HydrogenOS
OTA HydrogenOS Update with no problems
CON:
AndroidAuto does not work.
Google BackUp does not work (Only Google Photo backup works)
Google Assistant can be dodgy.
Where did you buy please?

Yep - results in bootloop so I stopped trying and waiting for a solution or response from Oneplus. Currently using my phone as a regular 8T (with no cyberpunk theme)

Hi,
So I have some good news (I think).
I was trying to flash OxygenOS (Global and EU) on my HydrogenOS (11.0.4.5) Cyberpunk8T. It ended me bricking my device. (Yes, I was fooling around with fastbootd >_<)
I went to this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4180837/
and used the MSM tool @OniAraAra linked: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=320230
I was able to get back to HOS (11.0.1.2). So this even downgraded my version, and I had all cyberpunk elements.
Then it hit me. I was trying to figure out how did the sellers flash the global OOS.... and most of xda members here state that their device came on "11.0.4.5.KB05AA ", and it had " SOME Cyberpunk things ".
So I went and did an MSM restore on my Cyberpunk8T HOS (11.0.1.2) to EU OOS 11.0.4.5 (from unbrick-tool thread above). Guess what it worked. I was able to boot to EU OOS 11.0.4.5.
Then right away, I did a local OTA upgrade using full package EU OOS 11.0.5.6 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4180837/).
I booted to EU OOS 11.0.5.6, have cyberpunk boot animation, wallpapers, theme, icon pack, and sounds (basically everything, let me know if I should check something specific).
ps: I also heard that local upgrade is not available on Global or India OOS, thats why I tried it on EU. Not sure if one does EU MSM, then flash Global Full OTA locally if that might work or not.

Not really sure. I did try previously local OTA to full EU OOS, but had the bootloop issue similar to international/global OTA.
There is also always the possibility that seller did not do proper global MSM revert? or that going to HOS and then again to OOS might do the trick? (not really sure here, I am just stating random possibilities)
Good thing is one can easily test using MSM tool to revert back.

That is pretty much what I am looking for! Cyberpunk theme with Oxygen OS and OTA updates. It seems from your method you can do the OTA updates. I assume this method will reset the whole phone correct?
Regarding version, does it matter If I use Global or EU? I am in US and everything has been working with phone service with the global OS, just no cyberpunk themes or OTA updates

1) So, it looks like fine to update through full OTA (EU) for me. I wonder if in the future I will have to wait for full OTA updates or can do incremental ones too (won't know until tested in the future).
2) Yes, this method will reset/wipe the phone. (see: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4180837/ )
3) Regarding EU vs Global, I think there might be difference in some apps. However, I believe that bands information are stored seperate to the ROM, so EU or Global OOS should work fine from operation stand point. Also, I am not sure about 5G though, as I heard US has different standard or something. Not sure if that is also affected by OOS verison (I think it should be hardware thing though).

When doing full OTA, does that wipe your phone? just wondering because im worried ill have to wipe everytime o get an update. regardless i will be testing your trick later on today !
Has anyone done this? I would like to use the EU version, because of the lack of apps and full updates coming out faster.
I'm on global and getting monthly updates and two this month almost back to back. I don't understand why you would want to attempt this. Anything is possible with these unlocked devices though now. And most of us have msm tools available if not. I love my device the way it is. Good luck!

Fully agree.
Yes done and easy. Done it 2 months ago. (Updated 3 times).
Just put the FULL EU version on your SD and local flash .... Done
Or better still; use Oxygen updater from the play store and change your device to EU version. EU updates will be automatic from now on.

I get the updates for the Global one, too, but there are a couple issues. The last full global update is a few versions back. I am rooted with Magisk, and the last time I did a restore in Magisk, updated OTA, and Magisk direct install into inactive boot I had to restore back to AA 2.4.4 using fastboot and OTA update before re-rooting.
The two reasons I was thinking about going to the EU versoin is that it lacks some bloat that the EU laws made possible, and that updates seem to be very up to date.

Yes done and easy. Done it 2 months ago. (Updated 3 times).
Just put the FULL EU version on your SD and local flash .... Done
Or better still; use Oxygen updater from the play store and change your device to EU version. EU updates will be automatic from now on.

Yes. I would only use FULL update files. This isn't my first time. LOL. I also DD'ed the Persist partition into an img. Does the EU version have the local update in System Updates? Just curious. I saw that the TMO version does not. I ask because my typical upgrade path, that I did on the OP6T, was restore boot img in Magisk, install using the local upgrade, and Install to Inactive Slot in Magisk. (Edit: Yes it does) Is there a MSM Tool for the Global, just in case? (Edit: Found MSM in XDA forums for OP9)
Edit: I just did the upgrade to BA/EU version. I went from AA 2.5.5 to BA 2.5.5. Didn't wipe the data and seems to work fine! Now on 11.2.6.6 LE25BA!!!!!! My upgrade from BA 2.5.5 to BA 2.6.6 worked perfectly.
One more question. Does anyone know why OnePlus is using the Google OTA servers on the AA version? If this was not the case, then I would not be looking into doing this.

AA is Global
DA is India
BA is EU
From this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oneplus-9-rom-ota-oxygen-os-repo-of-oxygen-os-builds.4254579/ I would say you should not crossflash the DA version.
Quote from the thread: "Furthermore, Indian units (LE2111) lack wireless charging, therefore it may not be possible for them to crossflash to EU or global build."
I seen you mention the LE2111 is the Indian.
Mine came as DA also. But its LE2110.

That is the Chinese unit. Global is LE2115 (AA). EU is LE2113 (BA). India is LE2111 (DA).
Sounds like your unit was converted from ColorOS to OxygenOS. I do not know if you can safely go to the BA/EU version.
It came in the Box with Oxygen. Also I do have wireless charging.
Ive been on BA when I did 1.2.5.5
Only thing im tryna figure out is the best signal. Which one has the nest signal for Google Fi(which they dont support OnePlus 9) it runs on T-Mobile. I get about 50mb a sec which aint to bad.
So the Chinese and India unit both have DA? One just has wireless charging I assume

To my understanding, neither the China phone LE2110 (ColorOS) nor the India phone LE2111 (OxygenOS - DA version) have wireless charging. If you convert from ColorOS to OxygenOS, the downgrade process outlined on XDA (which is awesome) converts you to the DA version. I just did it last night with no issue.
I'm now on 11.2.2.2.LE25DA and getting prompts to update via OTA to 11.2.7.7.LE25DA
Anyone have the Full OTA of 11.2.7.7 AA?
Or is there anyway to downgrade to 1.2.4.4?
I would like to try the Global version

Im on 1.2.7.7DA though?
The website only has 1.2.4.4.
What's the difference between the Global Version and the Europe Version?
Which one has Built In Call Recording?
Done through Oxygen Updater.
Thanks all.

When I change my device to EU version I'm getting a warning message that I've selected the wrong device and that my system is up to date even though I have the prompt for 11.2.7.7 - is this normal?
Also when you say to local flash - what tool are you using to do this or are you already rooted?

I believe he means the local upgrade. So, you download the full rom to your phone, then choose local upgrade in software update in settings on the phone itself.
Please be sure you have the right file and know exactly what to do and when, cos I'm not responsible for a bricked device.

Thanks. So I figured it out. You need to also select advanced settings in the updater app to allow the upgrade to a different regional Rom - or at least it only worked for me when I did that. I'm now on 11.2.7.7ba.

Question.
Never understood the kernals or bands fully.
Changing from BA or AA or what im on now DA doesnt change my cellular speeds correct?
I have my own weird question about my unlocked AA 8/128. So perusing the interwebs, I found a dual sim tray. My Tmob sim was not recognized in the second slot with my visible sim in the primary. Does the EU version support dual sim? I ask bc my battle plan is to back up modems, etc in TWRP, flash EU firmware, and then restore modems. Anyone think my logic is sound and that will work if I want Visible and Mint on the same op9? Thanks in advance.
my one plus 9 LE2119 has been dead when i unlock with umt if any one have flash file please send me..
hello brother did you find the files?

I have OnePlus LE2110 (Chinese variant). But it gets the update for LE2115 (Global/NA variant). I use MSM Tool for Global.
Did it give device mismatch error in msm tool? What tool are you using

No. Although my device is LE2110, but OTA updates automatically get the updates for LE2115. So I can use MSM Global Tool for LE2115 too, and I don't have to convert or anything.
In your case, maybe this will work to convert:
Convert T-Mobile OnePlus 9 to Global (or other) firmware

This didn't work brother and the phone gets bricked. I got is fixed from some local shop who bought around 300 pieces of this model and had the stock files. They said the sim will not work and you can't update.

I really have no idea. Never heard of LE2119 variant. How about you unlock bootloader and then install custom ROMs? They are way better than OOS. I would personally suggest crDroid or Nameless. They have tons of features and are stable.

I'm afraid that it won't boot and I'll have to take it to the shop again. The signal is also locked but the Phone software is perfect while running A11 Stock

Ok. If you wanna go the safe way, download Oxygen Updater app from Play Store. Then download incremental firmware zip from there and try to update through System Update's Local Update option. If it's not compatible, the system just would not flash it at all.

Are you a developer? Even if you are, you would have to be an employee at OnePlus to know what goes on in MSM Tool. If you really wanna experiment, I suggest you unlock bootloader and try custom ROMs. At least unlock bootloader and see if you can do that. There would be no harm. In T-Mobile variants, you can't unlock the bootloader simply, it asks for unlock token and you have to wait a few days. So, if you can unlock bootloader the simple way, there would be hope that this device isn't doesn't have freaky security like T-Mobile.
i can fix this device they basically killed by flashing wrong img & now its not able to take stock file if anyone have device in hand to test then DM me I'll build file for this.
Make sure i need full info
and it's may not done in 1st attempt
