I dirty flash over ob 33 it's all OK.

1) unistall magisk and all modules

2) flash 9.0.8

3) flash magisk

4) reboot

5) install magisk modules

6) flash blukernel 175

reboot and enjoy!!
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] LordDeath:
Tried the same and it works. Dirty flashing 9.0.8 and Magisk over OB33 worked and I didn't even had to uninstall my magisk modules first. :)

edit: For now I would wait with flashing a 3rd party kernel. They just released their sources for the August 1st patch-level and these 3rd party kernels still have to adopt them. Flashing an other kernel now would partially undo the new security updates.

[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Marteicos:
What recovery you used to flash?

The stock recovery alerts the user that since it's a downgrade the user Data will be erased. That's why some users asked about it.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] LordDeath:
The latest from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/cheeseburgerdumplings/files/16.0/dumpling/recovery/

Here is its xda thread: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-5t/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-8-0-8-1-t3729673

This is from the 5T maintainer for LineageOS and the codeworkx twrp builds have been faster to adopt the latest changes needed to flash official OOS zips than the official twrp images.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Marteicos:
So with a locked bootloader and only access to Stock recovery am I SOL?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] LordDeath:
Well, unlocking the bootloader implies a factory reset. ?

You might just wait for an other OOS stable build because OB33's file is named "...OTA_054..." and the newer OOS 9.0.8 zip has "...OTA_051..." in its name.

We also don't know when they will start with Q betas for the 5T. For the 3/3T they started first Android P builds last April...
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Qs5:
Does anyone have Google WiFi and their op5t only connects to 2.4ghz? I would love the advance wifi feature to choose preference between 2.4 and 5ghz
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] paulomodesto:
So this means, who have latest beta with stock recovery cannot dirty flash the OOS 9.0.8 because it assumes it´s an downgrade and will erase all our data, even if it´s an dirty flash?

I cannot understand why OP stopped open beta program and continues to launch "downgraded" OTAS of the oficial rom to all, mainly for the beta testers.

If OP stopped the open betas why you say they will start with android Q beta for 5T?

If that´s true and they will launch open beta program of the android Q for the OP5/5T who continues with the latest beta of Pie will automatically receive the beta from Android Q?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bdwilk:
My question is why would an OB user want to "upgrade" to a "downgraded" version like 9.0.8 in the first place?

Q will come eventually and the stable builds won't add anything but monthly security patches until then, which to be honest aren't that big of a deal because millions of lower model Android users never receive updates newer than what came on their phones and they're doing just fine.

In my eyes we have 3 choices.

1) for the impatient, upgrade to stable with a wipe

2) hold off and stay on OB till Q comes out (which I promise will also require a wipe)

3) flash a custom ROM and really enjoy your phone.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Seagorilla2:
4) the impatient can also dirty flash from OB to stable, as mentioned before. I always uninstall magisk + wipe caches and system before dirty flashing, so its kind of a semi-dirty flash.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flint2:
It worked from me, I'm back on stable dirty flashing from OB33

- boot to twrp

- flash magisk uninstaller

- flash 9.0.8

- flash magisk

- flash BlueSpark kernel r175 OOS

- flash magisk (just in case)

- boot to system :D

Using BluSpark twrp and kernel

The only thing that does not work for now is putting limits to apps in Digital Wellbeing (restored backup from OB33), tried also with apkmirror version with no luck. Any suggestions?

Edit: DigitalWellbeing is working when copied apk to system/priv-app/DigitalWellbeing folder
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strongst:
Flashing magisk before flashing the rom is pretty useless cause it will be deleted from the rom installation.

Flashing magisk after the rom is necessary,not only just in case.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bdwilk:
Gotta remember that a lot of people coming in here aren't even unlocked. They're still trying to use stock recovery.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flint2:
Yes, now I've corrected the post.

What I do is flash magisk before and after custom kernel.

Any idea about digital wellbeing?

9.0.8's patch level is Aug 1st but 2 major Qualcomm flaws are only fixed in patch Aug 5th so I guess there might be another update soon.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] paulomodesto:
To try to answer your question, i was thinking this rom was an upgrade from latest open beta and not an downgrade because open beta program ended in June and with already two official stable rom out since that, it would be plausible that this last stable release was matching the latest open beta features and not continue to be an downgrade for who have been beta tester the latest months.

It makes no sense to me to be on a already ended beta program and have an stable rom that have latest security patch and don´t have all the features i have on open beta that is working good.

It even makes no sense people that are on open beta to have to downgrade to continue having updates, even that is only security patchs.

1) for the impatient, upgrade to stable with a wipe

I´m not impatiente but don´t like to be stucked on a dead even good beta rom, without security patches, and don´t like the after wipe pain.

2) hold off and stay on OB till Q comes out (which I promise will also require a wipe)

For now i will be staying on latest beta, i have no choice, don´t want to downgrade my actual features and less wipe my Smartphone as it´s working all good.

3) flash a custom ROM and really enjoy your phone.

Every time i flashed a custom rom on my latest phones, it didn´t make me enjoying it more, i ended up losing some features, hardware issues, heating, crashings, a complete waste of time in a life of a recent father...

In the end, ends up being an Placebo, you are not really enjoying more you smartphone, you will be always searching for the best and not find it, i don´t think any custom rom for this device will be more pleasurable than the acual OxygenOS.

I'm on 9.0.6 trying to install full ota 9.0.8 with unlocked bootloader and twrp, after installing and booting I get app phone stop working and phone get shutdown, any idea

I tried 9.0.7, 9.0.8 all are same
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strongst:
Did you wiped cache/art within twrp and cleared the phones app cache too?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] preference:
I agree OOS is the best experience, but there are multiple custom ROMs carrying features that will never be found in the stock firmware. Stability and speed isn't owned just by OOS.... The aosip releases, derp and official, are some of the greatest ROMs I've tried. I'd actually be on those ROMs if my phone wasn't defective (my CPU maxes it's frequency and doesn't settle down, I am like the only user with this bug).

So I've been forced to use OOS, when I would prefer derp. It's just as snappy as OOS, but includes customization you'll never find elsewhere. Even the auto face unlock is pretty quick, though much slower than OOS.

Custom 4 lyfe.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bahrain4you:
Yes after installing did wipe cache, but phone app cache I was not able to reach to that since the message shows on pattern login and directly the mobile says shutdown

Please give detailed installation steps of your update attempt, seems there went something wrong.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bahrain4you:
Since long time I'm following the same steps for all the update I receive and never went wrong except this time.

1- Download full image

2- Delete compatibility file using total commander

3- Restart to recovery twrp

4- Backup system

5- Install the full image

6- Do wipe cache

7- Install magisk 19. 1 zip file

8- Do wipe cache

9- Try to boot to system
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strongst:
You did not flash magisk uninstaller before step 5 and did not wipe cache. I highly recommend to follow the instructions in the first post. Also removing pin/pattern before update is recommended.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bahrain4you:
Thanks for your help, I found the problem. I installed call recorder from magisk which caused this issue.. I believe that since I removed it now and then start the update which works fine now
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strongst:
The issue was that you did not remove it prior the update, that's a common issue discussed in call recording thread and well known :) that's why it's recommended to flash magisk uninstaller ;)
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bahrain4you:
Didn't notice this since I'm using the call recorder for short time now... Is the call recorder working with 9.0.8 using magisk method?

Yes, just clean flash OxygenOS 9.0.7 or do you just want to have 9.0.7 firmware on your custom rom?

yes, I wanted to rollback to 9.0.7 with my custom ROM. So far it just bootloops when I flash the firmware before ROM.

edit: I haven't tried 9.0.6 firmware with the ROM. Maybe the dev was using that one. I can't remember because they don't really specify

Is anyone else having problems with text messaging apps on 9.0.8? Did a clean flash and not having any boot up issues or anything like that but Signal and the stock SMS app both have problems displaying message chains and freeze up before I can send off any messages... Signal straight up freezes when loading message chains and the stock Messages app will display messages but when I go to reply the keyboard blocks the outbound message being composed and then the message cannot be sent and the app freezes... Very strange

Edit: rebooted and the issue has gone away. I think it was related to the RBoard Themes module for Gboard themes on Magisk which I had just flashed.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jimpoison:
as there will be no more beta for the oneplus 5t and the latest stable is 2 months ahead of last beta:

shouldn't it now be possible to dirty flash the latest stable over the last beta (because all features from the beta are now part of stable)

has somebody tried that with success or should one still clean flash stable over beta?

if clean flash is still needed, how can I achieve that most easily and quickly without losing any data and settings?

with oneplus switch? does it work reliably und completely?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strongst:
You can dirty flash, but it's not recommended. And there's also a migration file from beta to stable(see beta thread top first post).

It's up to you which way you choose.

Also titanium backup and oneplus switch are options along with Google backup and simply copy/paste of files. There's no general recommendation :)

When to adapt Android 10？
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] simplicio11:
January 2020.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] liberteus:
Feedback after upgrading, if that can be useful to someone.

Beginning situation:

- unlocked bootloader

- rooted

- Android 8.1 CarbonRom installed

- no clue what firmware version it's running

- twrp installed, siankatabg 3.2.3

What I did:

- downloaded full zip 9.08 and removed compatibility.zip with total commander

- rebooted to recovery

- save nandroid

- wiped clean everything that was required

- uninstalled magisk

- failed to install (error 7)

- restored nandroid

- downloaded firmware 5.1.4 and flashed it, rebooted to recovery

- uninstalled magisk

- failed to install again, with another error (not 7 this time)

- restored nandroid

- downloaded 5.1.5 and 5.1.7

- flashed them and rebooted between each flash to system then recovery

- uninstalled magisk

- flashed the full zip successfully

- phone rebooted THRICE after the upgrade, and I thought I was stuck in a bootloop but somehow the third time was a charm and it went to config screen

What I still need to do:

- push another twrp version 3.3.x

Greatest difficulty: to find the firmware for 5.1.5 and 5.1.7.

Greatest scare: thought I was in a bootloop after flashing successfully

Everything considered it took quite a while to make all the mistakes, but nandroid backup saved my a** a few times, glad I did that.

Getting this error trying to flash from oreo to pie. I've read so many threads, just don't seem to find conclusive answer what to do.

I' tried removing the compatibility patch (via winrar) and still a no go.

Any help appreciated. Rooted with latest oreo twrp and Magisk
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bdwilk:
Try an updated twrp. Blu_spark is what I use and never had a problem.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] vibrantliker:
I tried an updated TWRP but it wouldn't boot to TWRP after that, screen goes black and white led is displayed.. I thought that was because an updated TWRP(which would be for Pie, correct) isn't compatible with Oreo?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bdwilk:
Next thing is to reflash your Oreo OOS without magisk and let the stock recovery overwrite TWRP. Then do local upgrade to pie OOS using stock recovery.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] srimay:
how can he do that with no recovery, or at least thats what it sounds like to me. I also have a problem with a bricked phone i can only get into fastboot mode with. no recovery, no operating system. i was in the proceses of updating twrp thru twrp, which ive done in the past, only this time rebooting only gives me black screen and light blue led light
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bdwilk:
Well I assume the old Oreo TWRP still works if he flashes it again in fastboot.

I really don't know about your case though. Have you tried the unbricking tool? I was just looking around if there was a way to flash OOS in fastboot. Haven't seen anything yet.

[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] vibrantliker:
When I had that problem I realized while I was still on 8.0 I had installed TWRP for 9.0, hence the black screen and light blue led light. I went back to a TWRP for 8.0 and I CAN restart in TWRP but get those same error messages in red when I try upgrading rom.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bdwilk:
Upgrade from stock recovery. Should definitely work.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] srimay:
So I tried the unbrick tool last night and the drivers didn't show up in the list as unknown device under device manager. I tried it again today with the same result, but figured I'd run the msm tool anyways. I hit the install button and it ran thru a process, completed it and my phone booted with the 9.0.8 os that I used in msm.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] vibrantliker:
How do I get stock recovery back if I'm on TWRP?

Also, are you saying to update from the phone (system update prompt that is still there) once I have stock recovery back?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] srimay:
Flash a stock recovery IMG in twrp. Or use adb
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] vibrantliker:
And then upgrade by which method?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bdwilk:
What I would do.

Reflash your current version of OOS without magisk. This will rewrite TWRP with the stock recovery.

Put 9.0.8 zip on your phone and boot to stock recovery. There you can select to local upgrade. Find the zip and flash it. You can also do local upgrade from the updater within the system.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] vibrantliker:
Thanks. Wouldn't it be the same to disable/uninstall magisk modules, flash stock recovery, then upgrade from the updater within the system?

It sounds like removing magisk and TWRP are the main things to do so the update can be installed.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bdwilk:
Yup. I just wasn't sure how easy it was to find a stock recovery.img (I've never searched) Whatever it takes as long as you update with the stock recovery in place then I think it'll work. Might want to remove any pin/password/fingerprint beforehand also. Just in case.

I'm still in shock you've been on Oreo all this time and Android 10 is right around the corner.
