F63 EU to F64 Global? - OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers

Hello I converted to KB2003, currently running F63.EU
I've always seem conflicting answers on this subject, but is it possible to change regions from EU to Global doing a local install or flashing in custom recovery without having to wipe data?

I've done it in the past without problems by using local install but don't take my words as certainty. Anyway, always use full builds and always update to a build that has been released after your current one.

I did some TWRP testing (last year using KB2003 C.33 and KB2005 C.33) and found that without doing a data format or factory reset I could flash KB2005 firmware over KB2003 firmware (and vice versa) and the system comes up cleanly.
So, purely from a firmware perspective, the answer to your question is Yes.

So to confirm, this was not an OTA zip that you flashed in TWRP?
Also, did you pull the firmware from payload or use the flashable firmware?

You installed via local install using a full build you got from a Oxygen Updater? Do you happen to rememeber what build and regions you changed? Just wanted to get some more specific info

I actually can't remember the details. I had KB2003 installed on one slot and KB2005 installed on the other. The easiest way for me to do that would have been to use local update to install the full OTA zips (because the full OTA doesn't check what's already installed). But I might also have used TWRP to install the full OTA zips. I just can't remember and I didn't keep notes on the installation method.
And then I could swap between the two slots by simply flashing in fastbootd the non-A/B partitions and the logical partitions (all extracted using payload dumper).
At one point I think I also installed KB2001 (IN). And, I'm presuming, that would also have been using local update.
Note: I've edited my original post - it should have only mentioned KB2003 and KB2005.

[BACKUP-IMAGE] [XT1572 EU] Moto X Style Android 7.0 Nougat Build NPH25.200-15 (EU)

Hi guys,
I bought the "new" Moto X Style last week for 250€(new, white, 32gb) and updated it to the highest Android 6.0 version from Motorola. After that, i flash the OTA-file from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/ota-moto-x-style-android-7-0-nougat-t3630248
After that, i unlock the bootloader, flash TRWP, clean the data and create a System backup:
https://xda.bioharz.xyz/2017-07-15--06-20-47_NPH25.200-15.7z
This is unmodified! and unrootedI actually have no time to create a System image, but this should also work for you.
I hope this can help you.
Thanks,
One question, this backup work in XT1572 CID12?

Probably failing SafetyNet API check but what is the error?
Nougat will fail if the bootloader is unlocked and you don't have the Magisk module to stop SafetyNet. In Nougat an unlocked bootloader is enough to get it to fail even if otherwise 100% stock.
Netflix could also be confused as to your region if you restored the backup in this thread.

What is the proper way to flash this backup using TWRP? I did a adb push to /sdcard with al files from the extracted .7z file but TWRP can't ze the backup.
What am I doing wrong?

Extract the backup zip file. Copy the last folder (containing the boot and system images) to your phone's TWRP Backup folder. Now you will see it in TWRP. Now perform a full backup. Then restore the copied-over nougat backup. Now you can pick on of the following two options.
1. f you have time, you do not need to delete your data before rebooting. You can always uninstall and reinstall any problem apps that show up after rebooting. That is what I did.
2. Of course, if you are in a hurry, you can delete your data and then reboot. That would be called a "clean install" and I don't do that very often.
Hope this helps.
@bioharz
Cheers for this. I was contemplating what method might be easiest for upgrading my rooted Moto X Style (EU) from MM 6.01 to Nougat 7.0. Ideally, this would have been a TWRP flashable ZIP, however, you have provided the second best option, which is a TWRP backup.
My method was as follows:
1) Make full TWRP backup of existing MM installation to extSD
2) Backup my Nova settings to extSD
3) Download, unzip and copy your backup to the TWRP location on extSD
4) Boot into TWRP and wipe Dalvik/ART, Cache, System and Data partitions via Advanced Wipe menu
5) Flash System and Boot partitions from your Nougat backup, BUT NOT EFS partition !!!
6) Reboot, log onto previous Google Account and restore all apps.
7) Restore Nova settings
8) Root with SuperSU (systemless) and SuHide
Worked a treat :good:
Are you sure - you need nougat with old radios?
You could reflash stock MM, update to Nougat, root, restore all you want. @Yemble
Will it work on moto x style Indian variant?

I am certain that I do not wish to screw up my phone with someone elses IMEI. Besides, what exactly is wrong with the MM radios? They are working perfectly on my phone.
Actually, given that I am now in a good position to experiment further, I have flashed the Nougat EFS partition on its own to my phone. Thankfully, it did not affect the IMEI or any network connectivity (SIM or WiFi). However, it has not changed the base band version either, so it may, in fact, be identical to the MM EFS anyway!

Take a TWRP backup first, then give it a go. What have you got to lose?
I suggest that you try it without the EFS partition first. If that works, take another TWRP backup and then try flashing EFS on its own.
@coolncoolest @Yemble
Don't flash/restore EFS from another phone - you can lose your IMEI.
India - RetAsia version has the same baseband as RetEu - cid7.
Dual sim probably will not work.

Clearly you are wrong about this (on this particular phone model), as I have already tried it and it proved that it did not break, or change, anything! I am aware that flashing EFS can be dangerous on older Samsung phones, hence my cautious approach that you appeared to be dissing in your previous post
I believe in hard facts, rather then hearsay. I have now upgraded three XT1572 (EU) phones from the posted TWRP image using the method that I outlined previously, together with the later flashing of the EFS partition. All three phones work perfectly and all three pass SafetyNet.
Someone else may be less fortunate than you and there is no reason to flash/restore efs.
Not only Samsung can lost imei in this way - Lenovo(+tablets), other Moto series, all Mtk devices(there is easy way to restore imei).
For Moto I don't know any restoring procedure. Sorry - one - mainboard replacement. @Yemble

How to go back from Oxygen to Hydrogen?

Hi
Recently I flashed my OP 7 Pro from Chinese version of Hydrogen to Global Oxygen 9.5.7.
I have Chinese version of the phone GM1910 and I did that mostly because of the Google Services lock [as Google is banned in CN]
Now I would like to go back to the original version, but I don't think that I can do it by the local upgrade [as the H is a higher version than Oxygen?]
Would factory reset bring it back to the Hydrogen version? Or the Oxygen is now the official version of the software for my phone?
Apologies if my question is stupid, but I am really new to all those flashes and changing ROMs, so I rather ask before fragging my lovely phone
thank you for any info
Flash Chinese Full version (latest) from local update then wipe date from recovery.
changing from Hydrogen version to Oxygen or from Oxygen to Hydrogen is easy
just flash it back from local update, no data wipe is needed if it is no error (official instruction), i flash from h2os to oos without wipe, no problem.

Unlock bootloader and flash it via fastboot ? (provided if there's a fastboot version of the rom)
Local upgrade doesn't allow downgrading firmware. You mentioned that the HOS's version is higher then it shouldn't be a problem right?

Use MSMdownloadtool. There is one for the Chinese phone. it's in the thread collecting all the various MSMdownloadtool archives. Use that to get down to an old version of Hydrogen, then you can flash Oxygen via local update.

fyi, going through same thing now. delete the chinese text from the first folder or copy the guac folder elsewhere. it errors otherwise. took me ages to figure it out.
If that doesn't work for some reason, I'm surprised nobody mentioned using TWRP to flash Hydrogen. If that doesn't work for you, try installing TWRP and then flashing Hydrogen that way. ?

Oneplus7pro back to stock

Hello there,
I tried the open beta on the OnePlus 7pro for a while, but I have some massive issues with speaker distortion, so I decided to go back to stock. I know this involves a wipe of the entire system, and I have fully prepared that.
However: I seem to be to stupid to perform this. I used to flash all kinds of roms to my OP3 back in the day, but I can't find an option for simply flashing the zip in the recovery.
My big big question is: How do I perform the full reflash of this phone?
Do I get an factory rom like with the pixel, or do I need to sideload something and flash it in recovery?
I am really clueless rightnow, expecially since the factory image told me, that the bootloader is locked, but to my unterstandig, flashing an original manufacturer image should not require the bootloader to be unlocked...
So I am really hoping on your help, as rightnow, I have a beta phone that is waiting to be setup...
:crying:
Follow this tutorial.

Or easier way would be to download rollback package from oneplus which will wipe everything on your phone. You will have os9.5.3
You can then do Ota upgrade to latest os version. Rollback package is listed in in the middle of the post

So my OnePlus 7 Pro is rooted, has twrp, xxx ROM and renovate ice. If I want to go back stock and relock bootloader, can I simply flash the latest ROM (in this way I should loose twrp and root) and then relock bootloader with ADB command?

Thanks bro!!
Local upgrade is a cake walk! All my worry was, if I go for a random version msm tool, which is not specific to 10.3.4(more like the case of fast boot Roms), i may stuck at bootloop/something undesirable.
From your reply, i understand, i can use any msm tool zip that supports one plus 7 pro, and get back to stock with an older oos version in it. From there i can choose OTA upgrade or local upgrade.. Whichever way? Right ?

Yes I used 9.3.4 and then did local update but if you are on 9.3.4 you have to flash first 10.0.3 and then after that 10.3.4 to upgrade.

Issue updating from Chinese to Euro firmware

I am having a big issue. I have a Poco F2 Pro, and I'm changing the firmware to the euro version. For some odd reason I'm on V12.1.3.0.RJKCNXM, Android version of 11. That's the Chinese official firmware I believe.
Don't ask me why. I must have botched the intial set up. Anyway, want to upgrade the to the latest euro firmware/android version and upgrade to a better rom and finally get rid of this mi-bloat. Sadly, it says I need the flash tool and I do have access to it, but it's on a roommates computer and I don't like depending on other people. Is it possible that I can somehow use the TWRP I have to upload the firmware vs using the flash tool? Please let me know thank you!!!

You will need a pc to flash the TWRP.
Flashing a TWRP takes 10 seconds.
With Miflash 10 minutes.
But with the twrp you have to format the data and then put the pc rom on the phone (usb OTG solution).

Thank you. I actually have a TWRP installed called "LR. TEAM" I think it's a Chinese port of TWRP translated back to English. It's called TWRP 3.4.1b-0328.
I can't flash anything from there though, as I can't decrypt the storage and I don't know how to remove encryption.
With that TWRP do you think I might be able to flash the Euro Firmware without Miflash? I have ADB and fastboot via my chromebook. Thanks for all your help.

Question [FIXED] Hard Bricked LE2115

Background:
I unlocked the bootloader and then proceeded to flash the device from 12 to 11 using THIS tutorial. When I got to the first "fastboot reboot fastboot" the phone never rebooted. The screen is all black. I can't get into recovery or back into fastboot using the button method.
I downloaded the MSM Global tool and got all the drivers installed. I was able to start the flashing process but get "Device not match image" early in the process. I have called OnePlus customer service. They didn't ask any questions just told me to send in the phone. I would rather fix this myself if possible. Any insight and or help is much appreciated.
UPDATE: I found this information, and it had me flash the India 9 Pro version. It worked. I have a booting phone and can now work on getting it back to the US version.
I wish people would stop following the guide for fastboot flashing. Just use the MSM while it still recognizes your device because if fastboot flashing fails, you end up having to flash it multiple times as it's not recognizing it as the correct unit anymore with that level of corruption.
To get back to global firmware, flash this in the local upgrade tool.
https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/OnePlus9Oxygen_22.O.11_OTA_0110_all_2107082125_downgrade_059624cc7298428b.zip
It is the global downgrade package. It will wipe your phone and when it comes back, you will be back on global software.
After you flash that, go to OTA upgrade and it will say it's going to download C.48 but it will actually install 11.2.10.10 and then you will have the latest OOS11.
If you download it directly to the phone or copy it over with a PC, the file may disappear. Enable USB debugging and use adb.
adb push nameof.zip /sdcard/

Thanks for that! The phone is back to fulling functioning with the proper version of OOS. It has been a long time since I rooted and ROMed. Fastboot used to be a straightforward method of flashing a stock ROM. Doesn't seem like it is anymore.

Glad that it worked. Did you have the bootloader locked? I am just trying to confirm I'm not crazy and that I was actually able to use it with a locked bootloader lol.
Yeah fastboot flashing was the gold standard way to avoid a brick back in the days before A/B partitions and Android Verified Boot came along but not so much now. This device in particular seems to be really fussy about fastboot flashing. I never managed to brick my Pixel 3 XL doing it but I have had to MSM multiple times trying to do fastboot commands and custom recoveries to flash custom ROMs on my OP9. I have got the process down tova science at this point lol. I just went back to stock and rooted it and I'm much happier with that than I was with custom ROMs that were plagued with issues.

Sorry, I did it with the bootloader unlocked.
I might go back to Stock soon enough. While not as big a pain as Samsung, also not the easiest phone I've played with either.

adb push nameof.zip /sdcard/

Yes, you can use this to go back to OOS11. You shouldn't need to unlock the bootloader as this is an officially sanctioned downgrade package.
Since you're on Android 12 you need to install the local upgrade APK:.
https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/OPLocalUpdate_For_Android12.apk
Install that, push the downgrade zip to /sdcard/, open the newly installed system update app, hit the gear, and it should show you the zip file waiting.

There is a pinned post with them. This is C.48 for global and yes, you use the local upgrade but since you're on OOS11, you don't use the APK, use the update function in system settings and tap the gear and you'll see it.
Hi i tried to use the updater on android12 and try to downgrade it to .48 but it return error. So i need to downgrade to android 11 first and then update it again to .48?

Correct. Only the specific downgrade packages can downgrade. It will also wipe the device. There's no way around this. Once you are back on 11, you can do the local upgrade to flash the full C.48 ROM instead of having to do the whole OTA process (normal process is downgrade, OTA to 11.2.10.10 (it will say it's C.48 but have a file size of like 150MB but it's not), OTA to C.48 so you get to skip a step if you just use the full update package).

Ok if i understand correctly, i just use the updater to flash the android 11 zip file that you provided and it will do a full wipe and will restore to android 11. Then i just use the updater again to flasj it to .48
am i correct?

I don't know because I didn't get my phone until February so I went right to 11.2.10.10. It is important to update though because it gets you a working OS on both slots instead of just one.

Lol yeah. I'm not too happy with C.60 either. I really don't want to wipe my device and lose my Signal chats again.

I don't know what you aren't understanding but I'm tired of repeating myself. Read what I wrote and it answers your question.

Ok done it ... on OOS11 now .... no need to unlock bootloader can just flash the file directly.
Will try OOS11 for a while and see if it is worth updating to OOS12
