I think its going to work fine. Obviously, I've missed a step. In the screenshot picture my

Looks the exact same as it. However, when I go to fast fastboot flash those file it cannot locate images like aop a, aop b, bluetooth a etc. I see aop.img but not the a, b.

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

I'm having difficulties. I keep getting files not found
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
aop_a, etc aren't files, they're partitions and aop.img is the file you flash to that partition, example:

./fastboot flash system_a system.img

Worked like a charm if you manually enter the commands. Boy, this process made me feel stupid ha
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Okay Mac OS users, I've attached a script to make things easier for you, its an sh script that you place in your working folder, run through terminal as you would fastboot commands, it will reboot upon completion.

Note: This script will not wipe your device, so if you need to perform a factory reset, just do so by running the ./fastboot -w command manually, trying to sort out adding it to the script, but the current script will do the full flash for you, happy flashing.

Same here ? you're trying to get it to work on stock dialer tab?

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
Samsung is the maker of the emmc chip. The brand and model is listed. This is known.

Also the chinamobile framework isn't all that concerning. It's there because there's no Google framework on the device for chinamobile. They need their own framework and not Googles. It's located in the vendor partition because it's not open source. Like a lot of the blobs for various hardware. (like the SoC). You're not running two frameworks on a phone. It's not in use. It's just there because they're not going to make multiple vendor partitions. All T-Mobile does is take the OOS, put some branding on it. Maybe some slight modem optimizations (if at all), and in the case of this phone, add Google feed to the launcher. Probably because it's almost expected to have Google integration in America.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gigawatt:
Hi, so, if we have flashed to the international version, do you think t-mobiles modem would be a good idea to flash because of the bands it includes or other optimizations or has anyone tried this and seen any difference. Also if I did want to try, would I just flash the modem.img to slot a and b or are there other partitions related to modem?

Received my Token a couple of hours ago, followed all steps and device is now on 9.0.5

Thanks, work beautiful
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
If you have T-Mobile’s VVM app installed the dialer vvm won’t work.

Same as above, once you uninstall the app, force close the phone and open it up again, mine actually worked on both WiFi and lte

Uninstall root within the magisk app, it has an uninstall option.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
You can flash the T-Mobile modem if you’d like to, I personally noticed similar to better speeds on the international modem, but you can test and let us know your findings.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nileshdd:
This might be a noob question but where do I find the magisk app? I used the oneplus rooter to root.

(Did a lot of rooting and custom ROM flashing with my original Galaxy S many years ago but haven't seen the new magisk stuff)

Lol in your app drawer, it’s funky look exodia looking face, if you know who exodia is from yugioh, lol.

Thanks. That worked!

Edit: Google pay still seems to think I am rooted. Any help?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nileshdd:
Uninstalled magisk but Google pay won't setup. Even factory reset once.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flyinace2000:
Google pay won't let me set up nfc payments. I'm not rooted. do I need magisk or something else?

I've got the same issue but I was never rooted. Just unlocked bootloader to flash from T-Mobile
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Addiso:
Looks like 9.0.6 INT is out, waiting on full zip to flash.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jkeith1:
Yeah, it shows the voicemail tab, just shows try again or call voicemail.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzmanj1:
For the sake of just confirming. When you downloaded the zip, did you extract it, then see two other zipped files inside that file. Then extracted both of those two zipped files. Then copied all the files from within those two zipped folders into the original unzipped folder (hope this makes sense). Then once its all decompressed, there is a .bat file that says something like flash-all (something, going off memory, have not done this flash yet, still on Tmo software w/ root)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
I can't get anything to flash. I get errors on anything I try to flash.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Show me your working folder.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
This is unknown at the moment.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Radio/Modem works fine, no do not take OTA's, it results in a softbrick that we currently cannot recover from.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
So wait now I'm confused. So I move them back into the first rom file I extracted right. Not to the original one before I extracted.

If I move them back to the extracted one, that's what I did. If I was supposed to move it to the original file before it was extracted I didn't.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
It does

You can get to fastboot, so you should be fine tbh.

usb debugging doesn't matter, this is all done in fastboot.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
You need to extract everything into one folder, nothing should be in separate folders, all bat files, images and adb files should all be in the exact same folder, no subfolder(s)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzmanj1:
This is what I meant, Thanks Dark Nightmare, worded it better and much more concise then me.

Dark Nightmare already provided a tutorial for this process (Thanks!)

Has anyone been able to grab a T-Mobile OOS 9.0 stock image incase we need to go back to stock/lock bootloader /return device etc? I know there are alot of us that have been eager and jumped to OOS 9.0.5 like my self.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Hey dark, safe to assume as long as we get the fastboot flash able full zip of any update we can just update that way?(NOT OTA, full zip)

Would it require wipes Everytime?

If you can boot into fastboot then you're not bricked

Here's my working folder. I have to go to work. I'll be back later tonight. 10:00 Mst. Ignore me seeming crazy. Just frustrated. If you can tell me if I did something wrong from that folder that would be great.

We have a stock dump, I'll have a look at it tonight and see if I can get a dev's help to make it flashable somehow.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzmanj1:
Nah man, thank you for the tutorial. Did a great job with it, the screenshots make a huge difference. I appreciate your taking the time to do that.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
So far that's how it seems that we can use the full roms, of course we're going to have to keep testing this with every new update just to be safe if we don't find a way to flash criticals prior to the next update, it honestly doesn't REQUIRE wiping, I just recommended for the first as we are switching between the firmware types, but I've flashed over and over without wiping my data, I only looped once due to data, but that was just me experimenting with recovery.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Yeah you've got to take all the files in those two folders and place them in your working folder, the script can't flash the files if they're not there.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
I tried adding more, but xda wouldn't let me, lol. And yeah I do agree screenshots help, helped me as a beginner since you know exactly what you're looking for and not just clicking random files.

Install magisk and use the hide module

Install magisk and use the hide module to enable google pay.

Did you factory reset before upgrading?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It transcribes the vmails?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jkeith1:

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nileshdd:
Sorry if this is again a noob question. When you say install magisk, do you mean root also? Or can I install magisk without rooting? I don't want to root as it cannot access my corporate emails with root.

I flashed the rom again and didn't root this time. Still same error.

Edit: I think I get what you mean. Root and use magisk hide to indicate to everyone it's not rooted. Will try. But in general don't like having to root to access Google pay.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Addiso:

Thanks a lot for all you help. The hide works for Google Pay but for corporate email (intune) , even after hiding it still says device is compromised. So only one works at a time. :(
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
System

• Improved unlocking experience

• Optimized standby power consumption

• General bug fixes and improvements

Communication

• Fixed issues with adding APN on Verizon network

Third-Party Apps

• Fixed issues with no notifications from Play Store

Camera

• Optimized image processing

Did you try before rooting? A lot of corporate management stuff (google at work, mobileiron, etc) does'nt like the parallel apps. They dont want two profiles on there. I know mobileiron gives me a similar message, but its due to the work profile, and not because Im rooted.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nileshdd:
Yes before rooting corporate email works but Google Pay doesn't. After rooting/hiding Google Pay works but email doesn't.

On TMO ROM both work :) so I will probably go back to that.

Yeah sounds like stock locked works best for you.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
Were you able to upgrade in place?(not deleting data) It stays at the boot animation forever for me. I just deleted /data/cache, and Im trying again.

deleted data/resource-cache and its booting fine now.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Addiso:
Same here 9.0.6 works fine without formatting even flashing tmo 9.0 to 9.0.5 without formatting works fine. Be sure to disable any magisk mods first to prevent bootloops to anyone that wants to jump in!

Here is the firmware package for 9.0.6 that is flashable on the T-Mobile 6T.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1y87VYs1J_Jc46H-lReUc8q1uhHh2i1ED

I've included the needed .bat file in the zip or you can use the one previously used in the original post of this thread.

1. Download

2. Extract everything

3. Extract Images.zip to the same folder as everything else

4. Reboot to fastboot

5. Run flash-all-partitions-fastboot.bat

6. When it asks if you want to format data, select NO if you are upgrading. Select YES if you are converting from TMO Firmware to Intl.

You may see some errors for sparse header, this is normal. Just let it finish and then boot normally.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] free4flight:
I am rooted on tmobile version using Magisk on 9.0.5 int'l version. I have never flashed yet "after" Magisk installed. I have Magisk and a couple modules enabled. So I gather, I need to disable those modules but is there anything else that needs to be done with Magisk or do I just follow normal fastboot procedures?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Saythis:
Nope there's nothing else extra you should need to do. I just suggest disabling modules then follow the normal fastboot procedure.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] feezler:
So If I am understanding this correctly, I can flash 9.0.6 in fastboot and not wipe/format my data? I am already on the international 9.0.5 international rom on my T-Mobile varient. I am also rooted on Magisk. Do I have to re-root afterwards? I am also wondering if I have to unroot first too. Has anyone tried using the OnePlus rooter for 9.0.6?

Thanks for all you guys do here! I have been learning so much lately!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] free4flight:
Downloading now, I assume there is a particular ***.bat that needs to be executed, just for clarity sake, name of the .bat please. On 9.0.5 I was told to use a couple different ones cuz I was having problems. But wanted to make sure since we are not wiping everything...TIA
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Saythis:

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mac208x:
Silly question but do I need to reverse back to the original T-Mobile 9.0 since I am on the 9.0.5 flashed? Or I just flash the new 9.0.6 right on top of 9.0.6?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Saythis:
Yes you'll have to re-root afterwards.

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

For everyone wanting to flash the 9.0.6 I posted. You do NOT need to revert anything. Just disable magisk modules before flashing and then boot into fastboot and flash. It worked perfectly for me upgrading from 9.0.5. If you're upgrading DO NOT SELECT TO FORMAT DATA.

Note to everyone asking about disabling Magisk modules.

It's generally not needed. I'm using the AOD mod which is known to bootloop when disabled.

Unless you're using this mod, you do not need to do anything. And after you upgrade, you can just sideload magisk again and all of your modules will be enabled.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Of course, credit always given.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] free4flight:
Forgive my ignorance, but even tho I am using Magisk since 9.0.5 (in the past always used TWRP), so still new to me, when you say sideload, even tho' we are not wiping everything, can you define the Magisk sideload process. thanks
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Saythis:
Yeah I mainly included that note just because I'm not entirely sure about what all magisk modules everyone else uses. It wasn't needed for when I flashed either.

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

After updating to 9.0.6, boot into fastboot and type fastboot boot twrp.img where twrp.img is your TWRP image file name. Then go to Advanced in TWRP and select ADB Sideload. After that, type adb sideload Magisk.zip where Magisk.zip is the Magisk file name.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] phillymade:
Can we use the modded flash all.bat in the OP that has the auto reboot, or should we use the one included in the zip?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Yes, you can use either bat file.

Edit: I need to learn to reserve posting spots when posting threads.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] free4flight:
Thanks but I used Magisk to root and I was under the impression that TWRP is not installed but that Magisk only temporarily installed it? So I need to install TWRP? Didn't think there was a good version yet...??
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Saythis:
I wouldn't install TWRP, I'd just boot to it as I said so it'll be temporary. Magisk will persist since it modifies the boot image. I've been booting to blu_spark TWRP. It can't decrypt /data but it allows sideloading Magisk fine.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] phillymade:
