Make sure your already on the latest twrp before updating this way.
[OnePlus 6 & 6T Cross Device Development] Depressed T.Bear:
Don't know what I'm doing wrong, flashing went successfull. But when I'm back in the system it still says I'm on 9.0.5.

And yes, I downloaded 9.0.6... Maybe something with A/B settings which I missed? Hm pretty late. Gonna try it tomorrow again
[OnePlus 6 & 6T Cross Device Development] -Deco-:
Strange, if so simply follow the procedure of fastboot booting the image, then flashing the TWRP image.

It's a high chance that the TWRP flash is conflicting in terms of boot image patching with the OOS zip, if so, you can try utilising the TWRP .zip file provided by eng.stk here (simply queue it for flashing after OOS), then proceed with Magisk as normal.
[OnePlus 6 & 6T Cross Device Development] yldlj:
Thanks for this I didn't know the zip file was available. I thaught from now on only the .Img was being made. I haven't updated twrp because I have no pc ATM. :svetius:

Did you reboot recovery after flashing OOS, twrp? If not there's your problem
[OnePlus 6 & 6T Cross Device Development] Depressed T.Bear:
Thanks guys!

Unfortunately I ran into some weird issues, but finally I managed to get it working.

So my first attempts, as I wrote, just left me on 9.0.5. I still don't know what happens, but I assume that after following the known procedure (yes, step by step with the proper reboots to recovery) just booted me into the "old" solt (A).

Today I installed the update again, this time I flashed the Blu TWRP zip instead of the image. According to the screen information it went successfull (Juhu, anykernel3!). After that I rebooted to recovery again, but it was the default OnePlus recovery! I was confused :D

So I rebooted to fastboot mode and booted with the latest Blu TWRP image. I installed Magisk and rebooted to system. During installation it told me that it's flashed to slot B.

Now I'm finally on 9.0.6, rooted. Though I didn't attempt to install TWRP this time. I don't have the time right now to see what happens if I flash TWRP and if it's bringing me back to the inactive slot.
[OnePlus 6 & 6T Cross Device Development] scloss84:
hi thanks eng.stk for the kernel and twrp. i tested this for hours before posting so i hope im contributing and reporting something that many people can benefit on.

the twrp v9.101 .zip doesn't stick after flashing.

and dirty flash oos, advance -> flash recovery ramdisk -> twrp v9.101.img, reboot to recovery doesn't change the slot after rebooting to recovery.

i tested by doing

started on slot A, dirty flash oos to slot B

flash twrp v9.100.zip

reboot to recovery, ensure slot changed to slot B

repeat. ensure im back on original slot A, and that everything is working as it should.

now tried fastboot boot twrp v9.101.img, then dirty flash oos, flash twrp v9.101.zip, reboot, lost twrp, repeated at least two times. so moved on to using advance -> flash recovery ramdisk method.

now dirty flash oos, advance -> flash recovery ramdisk -> twrp v9.101.img, reboot recovery, slot did not change. i boot to system, boot back to recovery to check slot, slot changed.

so i dirty flash oos again, advance -> flash recovery ramdisk -> twrp v9.101.img, reboot to recovery, slot did not change, boot to system, boot to recovery to check slot, slot changed.

i don't think magisk was not involved because that would have been removed in the first dirty flash? and i never had any issues with earlier versions of twrp up to v9.100. thanks for any input.
[OnePlus 6 & 6T Cross Device Development] Depressed T.Bear:
That's basically exactly what I described :D good to hear I'm not alone with that issue

[OnePlus 6 & 6T Cross Device Development] -Deco-:
One thing you forgot, once you boot into fastboot TWRP, you must then flash the TWRP image stored within the device. ;)

After that, reboot to recovery and flash Magisk, and you're good to go. :fingers-crossed:
[OnePlus 6 & 6T Cross Device Development] hllywd:
Is there a OP7 pro thread out there that I'm missing, or will this twrp & kernel work on 7pro?
[OnePlus 6 & 6T Cross Device Development] Macusercom:
I tested this too and it seems that if you flash the TWRP.zip it will flash to the currently active slot but not inactive slot.

You're on A: flashing OOS, then the TWRP.zip

TWRP now flashed on A but not on B.

You reboot into B (to the previously inactive slot).

You end up in the stock recovery on B as TWRP is only on A.

There is some bug going on I guess with .101 as it doesn't flash TWRP on both slots. If you use the .img file and flash it from there, you are in the right slot. It boots into B from .img and flashes it also on the same partition. Meaning the issue is you can't flash it on the other slot too which will be booted after a full OOS flash. Maybe some line missing or some typo maybe in the code?
[OnePlus 6 & 6T Cross Device Development] kryshnakishore:
Yes true, I faced this one..
[OnePlus 6 & 6T Cross Device Development] Macusercom:
Current workaround:

Either reboot to fastboot, boot the img and flash the zip.

Or OOS, patch ramdisk, switch to the opposite slot manually, reboot to recovery, Magisk, kernel.
[OnePlus 6 & 6T Cross Device Development] kryshnakishore:
Thank you, yes reboot to fastboot(I am on 9.0.6), flash the img through pc and flash the zip worked
[OnePlus 6 & 6T Cross Device Development] Depressed T.Bear:
Nah, I don't forget it. I made it this way on purpose, since it seemed to me recovery-related I didn't want to have it right now ;)

I need my phone today for the work and hadn't much time to tinker around with it :D

blu_spark r89 release (pie unified)

All right crew!

New build is up, smoothy smooth baby :highfive:

This kernel is unified, good on OP6/6T.

Also checkout latest recommended blu_spark extras with blu_twrp v9.101 (Pie support).

This build features all new AnyKernel3 installer by [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION], a masterpiece debuted in blu_spark for OP5/5T :)

Very light and faster install times, awesome stuff. More info on AK3 here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79644814&postcount=828

This is only for Pie ROMs! (with Pie based kernels also in case of custom ROMs)

blu_spark_r89 release

Keep in mind: I will give no active support for custom ROMs (including OOS based ones).

I am only interested on debugging stuff in stock and stable OOS (with logs and reproducible steps to replicate the issue).

Don't spam this thread with LOS or other ROMs stuff like "this don't work, my app doesn't open, etc" or debugging features.

[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elmor0:
My main worries are the battery life & the screen visibility outdoors:( (which seems to be a recurrent theme based on reviews thus far) - reminds me of the Desire-HD:eek:
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
The more reviews I watch, the less excited I am. I've seen more than one reviewer having issues with the buttons, and one with screen color unevenness, and backlight bleed.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] leony74:
I just don't understand how these guys can even review a device with pre release hardware. All these review devices are pre release version software and not even final products. I was using u11+ before it was fantastic in every way except for sunlight legibility.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Point. The review units of the U11+ had a dimm display as well, as the JDI panels used weren't the final batch. Might be the same here. Buttons are working fine on mine nevertheless. You just got to calibrate the sensitivity of the short squeeze a little bit, as that applies to the buttons as well.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elmor0:
A lot of these U12+ reviews have come out in the last 2-3 days - pre-release software perhaps but unlikely pre-release hardware!

Also, if multiple sources independent to each other mention similar concerns/ compliments then some credence must be given to the overall opinion

Most of the early U11+ reviews did point out poor sunlight legibility & poor battery life - this opinion, overall, did not change in the later/ more detailed reviews by other sites well into U11+'s release.

Most important aspects for me are

:

- External speaker volume & clarity

- Camera

- Build quality

- Battery life

- Screen quality

- Custom ROM support

The U12+ seems to tick about half of these boxes for me so far. Depending on custom ROM support, there may be some battery life improvements etc; and hopefully the handset price will be more affordable in a few months.

Right now, I am not convinced enough to take the plunge........
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] leony74:
I agree some credit must be given but battery life was never an issue with U11+ or even U11. Sunlight issue was there.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elmor0:
U11 battery was not really an issue (average scores).

But with the U11+, a bigger battery did not translate into better battery stats disappointingly. It was poor compared to similar sized competitors.

U12+ seems similar to U11+ rather than U11 in terms of screen & battery reviews - this is a worry.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] leony74:
It's your call. Battery was average for u on U11 but not for me. Don't worry if u like it go for it otherwise let it go.

[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] idees:
You mean that the sensitivity of short squeeze affects also the power & volume buttons? Because in many reviews they said that you can't change that.

Also, how is your experience with these new buttons? Are they responsive ?

thanks

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

LOL. 2 out of 5 beacuse of... buttons.

They say "When something as basic as a button doesn't work reliably, any other critique is redundant." and i am asking as an owner of pixel 2 xl, can we say the same for pixei 2 xl, because fast charge doesn't work? (need 3 hours for a full charge)

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------

I agree. Battery life on u11+ was decent, better than my mate 10 pro which i had at the same time.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Yes it does. Currently sensitivity of a short squeeze and the buttons are exactly the same. Since I took my time to calibrate it properly, I didn't experience any of the problems mentioned in reviews.

Maybe HTC is going to release a new OTA to decouple those two sensitivities in the future. But they are currently bound to each other.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] idees:
So the reviews are wrong , because they are saying that you can't change the pressure of these buttons.

That's why sometimes they needed more pressure/effort to activate them. They have change the short squeeze sensitivity...
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] szlevi:
Android Authority seems to be an utterly unreliable site for reviews, it's also a recurrent theme... my battery is so far stellar, easily last into the second day with modest/avg use during work days.

I do not have any issues with outdoor visibility - perhaps they forgot to turn off the batter saver...?

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------

Yes, someone should explain them how mobile phone UI works, that there's a menu in the upper right, hiding behind "..." - why is it that mobile reviews & tech, in general, attracts the lowest quality wannabes...?

I did expect that these new haptic buttons will be something good to mention. Every time i rad new reviews , is becoming a disaster...
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] leony74:
For battery life, I would suggest watching j William review. Only for buttons which can be fixed by software update it's not a issue. I am going for this one just my personal thinking.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] shango22:
While I am very concerned about this phone I feel like the issues with the buttons could be fixed rather easily with a software update giving more control. Maybe I'm wrong though.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Can only repeat myself. Issue seems only present on US and UK based reviews. All others don't even mentioned it. They rather state the buttons are working as expected, but you got to get accustomed to them. My review unit is just flawless in very much every single detail. No problems here at all.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] idees:
If its a problem on us and uk , then its htc's bad for giving them these units of u12+
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] OGhoul:
This is off topic to the thread, but are you sure you were using a USB-PD charger and USB-C to USB-C cable that was in-spec for USB Power Delivery?

Many have the same problem charging pixel 2xl
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Alber Wesker:
I think if the buttons are wonky enough (I think the reviewer mentioned it would shut off the screen randomly), you basically have an unusable phone. So 2 out of 5 is fair if the reviewer consistently encountering button issue.

I'm scared to order this until I see how the custom rom and mods are going to play out. My u11 was flawless, especially after rooting a modding it and I'm so sad it was stolen. I'm dying to ditch this POS Note 8, worst Android I've ever owned, but if there's no support or following for this u12+ I may have to wait and see how terrible the notch on the pixel 3 xl is going to be. I think notched display is a ****ing stupid trend that needs to die.

It saddens me to see how far HTC has fallen. I've always liked their phones the most.

I've seen a few reviews and by far MKBHD is my favorite. He actually gave a description of the buttons and how he felt about them. Yea he disliked them, but he explained why.

Not just a "I hate them. They're not actual buttons." Like most people seem to jump to.

How's the haptic feedback? He mentioned it was weird to "press" the buttons and yet feel the vibration at the bottom.

If properly going thru the settings and calibrating the short queeze makes a night/day difference on the button experience. I feel like that might make people reconsider.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Emerald Core:
I own one for 12 days now. You will not like these buttons for a long time. They are slow and not very responsive. I get power button and volume buttons getting triggered randomly without touching them.

The software has at least 15 HTC applications uninstallable. If that's stock to you , then you can live with it.

I like the boomsound, rear camera and network speed.

Software is as of March 1, 2018. Not updated yet.

YouTube gets constant stutter while closing a video going back to subscription page.

The phone overheats while doing heavy tasks like gaming or Antutu. It may be for the SD845 itself like 810. But the benchmarks show that performance drops significantly when it heats up. Antutu scores went from 265k to 150k in three sequence of benchmarking while the phone temperature was rising. Not to mention that I get to charge the phone at minimum four times a day, and plugging it in every time I drive.

I paid over $800 for the phone along with a free JBL reflect aware C with it. So whatever I just said was out of sheer disappointed that I paid a full price for a malfunctioning and overheating phone that has a lot of potential if done right.

I positively accept everything you have written. In particular, the volume and power buttons are really crap. Unwanted the power button, too sensitive, as soon as it touches off the display. Shameful for a 800 euro phone. the display is slightly brighter than u11 plus, but very poor in sunlight. the display of u11 was spectacular instead. Another step back from htc. I hope that with an update htc at least resolves the **** of the keys, because the phone is not absolutely suitable for normal daily use.

I disagree with them I find the buttons to work fine and I like them. They aren't touch sensitive they are pressure sensitive. Just my opinion though.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AtAM1:
I really don't understand what the negative feedback and reviews are all about.. Yes, the buttons are digital/pressure sensitive and new but I already got used to them after adjusting the squeeze force level several times - current level: 3 bars. At bar 1, I was accidentally triggering the power button but not to the degree that others have complained about. Heck, I used to trigger the mechanical power button by mistake on my previous 1+1.

It should be a walk in the park for HTC to adjust and/or enhance the button trigger levels or edge sense's software logic, as it is all software-based, to further improve on the user experience.

I have had the phone for 3 days and I love it... No buyer's remorse here.

Mine isn't. Mine is just as all the reviewers have warned, and it's pretty upsetting. It even feels like it's overheating on the sides. Ghost presses galore, edge sense is all over the place (ghost squeezes, sensitivity totally inconsistent after calibration). I

It's even rebooted into recovery on its own.

HTC 12u+ or hold out for vaperware Nokia 9 or Huawei Mate 20 Pro

I'm presently using the Google/Huawei Nexus 6p on Verizon without issues but the age of the phone has come-the performance is unbearable slow now running Android 8.1

I bought the Huawei Mate 10 and had it fully functional on Verizon minus band 13 so I lost some coverage. I ended up returning the phone because I couldn't enable band 13 on the chip, gave up-not sure if it was even possible but wanted to try.

My question is, is HTC 12u+ worth it despite HTC software bloat? Or should I hold out for Nokia 9 or wait and see if next Huewei Mate supports band 13 out-of-box?

I was not impressed with the build quality of the Pixel phones. I use to own the HTC M8 and experienced HTC s/w bloat there.
