9.06 flashed without data reset successfully!

I used the root/hide method to setup Google Pay. Then I uninstalled Magisk/root and setup my Corporate email. So I have both on 9.0.6!

All set and happy :)

Thanks all..
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] free4flight:
So fastboot flashed latest 9.0.6 update rom, went smoothly, no loss of data, then used the one click rooter to reinstall root... all good and done. Thanks for the help to those who brought this forward, much appreciated.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Did u unroot/remove magisk beforehand
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mang0:
Just went from int 9.0.5 to 9.0.6 successfully without wiping data. Disabled magisk modules beforehand.

When I rebooted back in, I re-enabled all my modules (Gboard themes, Google dialer framework, speaker module, and v4a). When I restarted, I had no SIM card detected, so I disabled speaker module and v4a, booted back in, and everything was fine again. Reenabled both modules and rebooted and everything was back to normal. Anyway... everything is working now!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ledvedder:
Why is it asking me to reinstall Magisk? Do I have to re-root?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mang0:
Yup

[MENTION=4204048]Dark Nightmare[/MENTION] I updated the tool with the Mac platform-tools included, as well as fixed the flash bat/sh files. If you already had downloaded, simply grab : https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4648693&d=1542835784 so the flashing works correctly. (Yay copy/paste fails) Of course grab that mac zip I posted earlier for you too.

If you hadn't grabbed the whole thing yet, the new version in my thread is all up to date and ready to go!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] aznrmx1112:
I did not unroot since the update would take care of that. Before flashing I disabled Magisk modules. Rebooted, Ran the update to 9.0.6, then booted up normally. Rebooted into patched boot.img for root, reinstalled Magisk, rebooted then reenabled modules. Rebooted one last time for enabled modules.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
What about native vvm?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Lol I have a mac since I'm at school, network sucks, so I'll just go the windows route when I get home on my desktop.

Thanks for the tool, this is going to help immensely with the conversion process.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mang0:
Haven't gotten around to messing with that yet, but I'm gonna try the assortment of different ways now and see if I have any luck.

Edit: no such luck. Tried stock and Google dialers. Still having the activation error.

(Btw what are your preferred network settings set to?)

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
For vvm?

Did you extract the images.zip file and move the files into your working folder? Show me a screenshot of your cmd window and your working folder.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] maheshwar:
yes ive extracted it
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Looks like your device flashed fine to me, what firmware are you coming from and did you have any modules enabled? You may have to wipe the device in order to boot. Reflash and tell me your results.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] maheshwar:
yea i did a fastboot -w and also press Y after i ran the .bat file now it worked properly thank you
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
That's weird, you should've been fine just upgrading, I upgraded without wiping... maybe its a conflicting module or something, once you're up and running again at least.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Demonface.24:
I upgraded and everything works fine. =)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mang0:
Just in general lol. Trying to see it I could rule some stuff out. But I still feel like it's a SIM card thing or something!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
We've only had about three reports of this problem, so I dunno, what about your boyfriend? Does his phone have the same problem or is he stock?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
I was using the auto root app from that other thread. I was coming from T-Mobile so I had to clean install anyway. Will have to see how the patched boot img install works for future updates.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
It's pretty easy, fastboot flash the patched_boot.img and just install the magisk app, easy peasy, a lot more transparent, imo, if you're upgrading, all you need it the patched boot image, magisk is already there.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] BIGWORM:

Sorry for the newb question, would someone please guide for the best way to back up the vitals for my phone before further updating or tweaking? I'm on 9.0.5 now rooted and was hoping to make/have a backup before moving to .6.

Am I able to do it when I boot into twrp & if so is the imei and what not included?

Thank you in advance
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
How do you retire just before I find out mods can insert empty post? Lol

The patched boot is for rooting purposes, use the standard vvm app from the playstore if the dialer isn't playing nice, it doesn't seem to be a standard problem, only about three users so far, so I'm not sure why yours won't work.

Thanks for the info ^_^
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Yes and no, I'll post a script to the first post that you can use to backup all of your critical partitions, just so you know, nothing in this conversion touches your critical partitions, but I definitely encourage you to do a backup, :).

Instructions to a full device backup:

1. Download the zip below and extract it to it's own folder

2. run cmd.exe while in fastboot mode and run the following commands:

fastboot boot TWRP.img

3. Once twrp boots, run the backup.bat script included, it will backup all partitions on your device, including your efs.

4. zip all of the image files and store it somewhere safe.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Magisk is in the patched boot image?

To be clear while upgrading, uninstall magisk, fastboot update, boot up, do patched boot img root method. Right?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mang0:
He's still stock.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] free4flight:

How do I install 9.0.6 after doing this for 9.0.5?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Same method, but disable magisk modules, reboot, then reboot to Bootloader, then run the flashall bat, only difference is this time when it asks to wipe or not type N.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mepo12:
if i want to wipe will it hurt me? or should i just upgrade and install it on top?

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Theres no real need to but if u want to wipe, u just gotta set it all up again. Either way wipe or not, u gotta reroot again

[MENTION=6382651]Darknightmare[/MENTION] thanks for the guide. On 9.06.

Anyone have Netflix issues in Google play?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nileshdd:
Yes I just saw I have the issue too. Says my device is not compatible with this version and won't install.

Got the apk from apk mirror and installed. Works fine. Can't say clearly if it's full HD or not. Resolution seems sharp enough.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] AMRivlin:
Odd. What would trigger that?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Use the magisk hiding module and the setting, my Netflix works fine, I’ll have a look if it’s HD or not when I get home, but the quality seemed pretty good last I checked when testing if Netflix worked.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Because it’s rooted and the system can detect this.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] vandizzam:
I've been wondering what resolution I'm getting with magisk hide as well
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] AMRivlin:
Once updated to 9.0.6 can't we unroot and get access to all normal apps?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nileshdd:
No my phone is not rooted. After moving to 9.0.6 I did not root it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Taebom:
Even with magisk hide, if the bootloader is unlocked it drops the drm level from 1 to 3 so no HD Netflix or Amazon. Still good quality tho. This app will check to see which level you're at. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidfung.drminfo
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] candleworth7808:
Thanks for the tip. Will try.

Edit: I'm not rooted. The APK works when downloaded through third party.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] phillymade:
Not trying to be a jerk, but if you can't tell if it's HD or not, why does it matter?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nileshdd:
Yeah I am on L3 now.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] capsnbottles:
Not sure if this has been asked but after we flash over to international version will they send updates out to us like the unlocked versions or do we have to update like this everytime?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
You have to update like this everytime, OTA's will cause a softbrick.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] BIGWORM:
That being said, again, MAKE SURE YOU'VE DISABLED "AUTOMATIC SYSTEM UPDATES" in dev options. I believe since the phone is unlocked, it won't take OTAs (someone correct me if I'm wrong), but it doesn't hurt to disable that anyway.

You can also take it a step further and disable System Update through TiBackup as well. I would outright delete it, but I didn't want it to melt my system lol.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] adobrakic:
When backing up, I get stuck at running backup.bat while in TWRP because it just stays at "<waiting for device>". I originally rebooted into fastboot via adb, so not sure why it suddenly doesn't recognize my device when I'm in TWRP. Any ideas?

Open device manager, find out what driver is faulty and fix.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] eduardmc:
So i just spoke to tforce. My first try and the said that since the device is only 2 days old and on eip i cannot permametly unlock. It has to be temp unlock. I agreed to it but when i went to the app i pressed the permanent unlock and my device says that it has been pemanntly unlock and to restart. So this mean my device is permanent unlock now? I dont even have the unlock tmobil app anymore
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] phillymade:
If you can turn on OEM Unlock in developer settings then it's permanently unlocked.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] eduardmc:
Yes i can. Now whats next :)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] phillymade:
Get you unlock token from OnePlus then follow the guide in the fist post and you can flash the International 9.0.6 firmware, and whatever else you want
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] infamousvincci:
Is there a noticeable difference between .5 and .6?

I see they made some improvements at the backend regarding screen unlock and battery optimization but just curious if its noticeable in the front end? :)

Sorry if this has been asked, but how do we update from 9.05 to 9.06? I noticed a couple ota files
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mepo12:
theres a button for the 9.0.6 instructions! Just download the file and unpack and run the bat file and upgrade over and ur gooood. no need to wipe fully

Is it worth it to do this. Is the onplus firmware that much better than the current tmobilr version?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] free4flight:
There is a version of 9.0.6 at the beginning of this OP that is ready for flashing on the tmobile version. I don't think you can flash the international version on tmobile....use the one listed here on first post under 9.0.6
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dameon87:
The version we are flashing is indeed the international version. To answer the questions above, it is leaps and bounds better than the current T-mobile version. The fingerprint reader is much more responsive, with less failures, and you also get access to other bits that were omitted. (Hold fingerprint after unlock for a quick menu, google assistant power button feature, Smart boost, updated gestures, etc)

All we are doing is decompiling the payload of the international full rom and then flashing it via fastboot.

You can use: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-oxygen-os-9-0-6-fastboot-windows-t3870170

To upgrade to 9.0.6 without a wipe, or to go from the stock t-mo rom to the international (After bootloader and sim unlock of course)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] free4flight:
So, I knew we were using the intern'l rom but I also knew that something was done to it for the tmobile version otherwise why not send everyone to the full international rom downloaded directly from oneplus? You stated "decompiled" the payload so what if the payload was not decompiled? Then what? Would it still flash properly in the tmobile version?

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dameon87:
No, but aside from the decompiling of the Payload.bin file and scripts to flash it via fastboot there's not much involved. :)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flyinace2000:
Sorry its been a busy few days here. New baby coming home soon.

To get Google Pay to work we need to use Magisk? I didn't root when I converted to the international version, is that required to use Magisk?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] BIGWORM:
Yep, you'll need to root with Magisk and enable Magisk Hide for Google Pay to get it to cooperate.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flyinace2000:
Will Magisk also hide root from my corporate IT (no rooted devices for work email)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] BIGWORM:
That, I'm not sure. You can sure try. If it doesn't work, you can always nuke it to stock with the MSMDownloadTool.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mang0:
Are you on 9.0.6? I'm not having any trouble with Textra. Are your permissions enabled in app settings?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flyinace2000:
Got it.

Should I use the below thread/instructions or just use "OnePlus 6T Rooter" application. Is that modified boot.img permenant or just to achieve root?

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/oos-9-0-5-root-recovery-patched-boot-t3865898
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ledvedder:
Yep, I've checked everything. Disabled all gestures and Magisk modules just to be sure there weren't any conflicts. I'm using ElementalX kernel, so I don't know if that's interfering. Unfortunaly, I don't think I can go back to stock kernel without wiping everything. Unless I can flash the stock kernel with EX Kernel Manager.

Every other texting app I've tried works fine though. This seems to only be a Textra problem.

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

I found it. The issue was an app called VolumePie which gives you separate volume control for medai, ringer, notifications, etc. It was its"display over other apps" setting causing the issue.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] BIGWORM:
In order to root the 6T, you need to flashboot BOOT (as opposed to flashboot flash) a modified boot image to load TWRP on the phone, which you'll then need to flash the twrp zip, then magisk zip in the same session.

Are you already BL unlocked? If you are, then you can use the auto rooter. It'll do all of that for you. If you're still BL locked, unlock it, but make sure you backup your internal storage first, as it'll wipe it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nileshdd:
It didn't work for me with intune and office 365. Maybe some other software will work.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flyinace2000:
I'm already BL unlocked and converted to 9.0.6 from t-mobile. Can you link me to the autorooter tool?

For anyone on TMO, the TMO app doesn't work for me. I think because bootloader is unlocked. It says technical difficulties but it's been saying that at multiple times over days.

On Tmo... 9.0.6 and rooted, both Visual VoiceMail and Tmo app work for me. But not if I am on wifi, I have to be on their signal then both work completely. I used Magisk to root and I do not have Hide mode activated.

Bootloader has nothing to do with that issues the app just goes down often, the site too. It wasn't working for me the same day I bought the phone from TMobile but it's working right now as I type this up.

Reboot.

Thanks. No luck for me. Tried multiple times on multiple days. Never worked.

Also, I have my Google Pay setup fine but when I tried to pay at a store, I got an error saying I am not allowed to pay at stores using Google Pay. One other time it worked. So it's inconsistent.

Small niggles still there. Will see for a while else will go back to stock. I didn't anticipate the need for rooting and hiding for things to work fine. I thought it will work just like stock (which it mostly does).

Finally got my unlock bin, so I can begin the process after work today. My question is about TWRP.

Also once this is done, will I be able to boot TWRP from the device like normal or will it have to boot from fastboot? Sorry if this is the wrong place for this question.

Are you rooted? Running the hide module by chance? What about the sim swap you proposed?

Same questions as above, minus the sim swap.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mang0:
So the interesting thing is I was able to get stock dialer vvm working initially when I was on tmo stock 9.0 (before bootloader unlock) but it took me a while of messing with it before it ended up working. Once I unlocked bootloader, flashed 9.0.5 and rooted, couldn't get it working again.

When I used msm download tool back to stock, I tried to see if I could get it to work initially but it wasn't working either... didn't troubleshoot much though and went straight back to 9.0.6

I am rooted currently, haven't messed with hide yet (I will try that though) and haven't tried SIM swap yet, but I do have an extra new sim on my desk and will do that this coming week.
