twrp wont let me sideload the ota

---------- Post added at 06:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 AM ----------

so to update flash each a/b via fastboot ? prob need a flash all .bat
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] SmileBigNow:
How do I flash this update?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] TheKnux:
I'm almost positive it's been like that the whole time before the update.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] SmileBigNow:
Correct! I can't install the update probably because it's BL unlocked and I could confirm that it has a 0 before the actual time like 01:45
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] KMHartford:
I would love to flash the new update to see if there is another update lol

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

where is the ota stored after the op6t downloads from the tmobile server?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] phillymade:
It was not like that before the update, it added the 0.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] TheKnux:
Pretty sure it was.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] LLStarks:
Apparently you are not supposed to flash an extracted OTA payload, period. The partitions are not whole and you can brick.

If you are Tmo, take Tmo OTA. If you are international, take international OTA. Or, if you want updated international on Tmo, wait for full flash zips and flash the non-criticals with fastboot.

It's a mess to be honest,.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
I'm pretty sure that it wasn't.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] KMHartford:
yup glad my attempts failed... I gave up trying, glad I didn't brick....
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] TheKnux:
If you look a few posts back, a user who was unable to update said that his has the 0 before the time and I remember it being that way as well so yeah lol
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] SmileBigNow:
I was saying it and still stand by my claim

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

Just FYI I unrooted my device, restored the images and uninstalled Magisk all through the app it's self, tried updating the phone and it actually worked! I am Bootloader unlocked ONLY, no changes to the ROM or anything since I don't have root anymore and I could install the OTA like normal
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
I don't think so. When u download the ota it will fail.when trying to install.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
Can confirm does work, Device is in the applying process as we speak.

Before didn't even got that far, thanks [MENTION=3587171]SmileBigNow[/MENTION].

P.S. yes, I have unlock bootloader and had Magisk install
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] KMHartford:
Gonna try this, that was one thing that I did forget to do when I root it first with magisk, I never unrooted, uninstalled from the magisk manager
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] KMHartford:
tmo ota updates still fail after unrooting magisk, restoring tmo rom
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
By unrooting , you mean you Uninstalled from Magisk Manager and rebooted?

It work for me...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] KMHartford:
yup, i'll root, unroot and try again
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Addiso:
It depends if you made system modifications. There has to be zero modifications done, even with removing root you can still run into issues if you messed with any type of mod that changes some files in the system or not done systemlessly. What I did was flash back to 9.0 with flash fastboot, take the ota then flash back to 9.0.5 to update any criticals it may have flashed with the ota. All without wiping my phone, works flawlessly.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] SmileBigNow:
Within the app there is a "Uninstall" option than it gives you 2 options one is Uninstall other is Restore Images, just click restore images, reboot then Magisk will ask you to install latest version of the app ignore and just install the app from the phone like you will do with a regular app, then download update and it should install afterwards, unless you have modified the ROM in any other way
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] SmileBigNow:
Here is what needs to be done before uninstalling the app so the OTA update should successfully install while BL is still unlocked but no modifications should be made to the ROM

After clicking the "Restore Images" reboot

Once back on just uninstall the app like a regular app and download the OTA and it should successfully install the update
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] SmileBigNow:
Any ETA yet?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] KMHartford:
when clicking restore images I get a message saying "stock backup does not exist"
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] SmileBigNow:
Interesting, don't know what that means, by me it just did it things and then it worked
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Addiso:
Depends on how you rooted, if you installed the modified boot image first and then installed magisk then magisk didn't make a backup of your boot.img, I'd advise to fastboot flash to 9.0 dump then proceed with the ota from there.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Did u go to the intl version then back to tmobile?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] KMHartford:
I was able to restore and uninstall magisk properly
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] SmileBigNow:
Never flashed anything, just rooted

---------- Post added at 02:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 AM ----------

And how is the OTA doing?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] LLStarks:
OTAs care more about TWRP in the boot ramdisk than Magisk when detecting system state.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] KMHartford:
ota still failed after uninstalling magisk I restored the images
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
ah makes sense. we flashed 9.0.5 and even going back to stock cant do ota. something is sticking after goin back. or something isnt being flashed on stock tmo rom that was flashed on intl
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] KMHartford:
I just was thinking the same thing while restoring 9.0.5

---------- Post added at 03:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 AM ----------

probably after installing T-Mobile 9.0.5 after its released and everything is caught up, should be able to take future tmo ota
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
i compared the .bat file and the commands are the same. but idk who the person is who put it together so idk what files he placed where. maybe in making the tmo fastboot folder he used some 9.0.5 files in error, or maybe to fill in missing files to be flashed.. not aclue
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] KMHartford:
true, won't truly know until we can flash tmo 9.0.5 whenever it gets done with tmo certification process. getting a more pure rom zip is definitely important more over just getting it to flash / boot successfully
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
thanksgiving to dark nightmare putting that tool up. going back to stock now. want to sell to get the intl version instead
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] SmileBigNow:
Where is that tool at and what does it do? Will that tool also relock the BL?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/tool-t-mobile-oneplus-6t-msmdownloadtool-t3868916

Yes. It will return a T-Mobile 6t to out of the box condition
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
I made the stock tmo 9.0 base full rom, every file in that image is from a stock dump, no swapout :p
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
Can we please keep this thread about the TMobile update?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
That update is totally useless vs 9.05

I bricked my s h i t on purpose a few times to see what we could do to it... While doing so i took the update, btw u guys do know u can have an unlocked bl and take ota? Just can not be rooted unless u rooted to the opposite slot.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
There is no other ota
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
It's not that bad actually. Why is it not as good? What's missing?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] adobrakic:
I just updated to 9.0.5 from latest T-Mobile version, and I really don't see any significant changes besides some navigation gestures (but I don't use the gestures at all really anyway). Best thing, imo, is ability to root, and use apps like AFWall and AdAway.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
The fluidity of the touch, the fingerprint scanner, smart boost. The about phone menu.. its just so much smoother. Lightning fast. And no more god awful boot logo..
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Ricardo Guariento:
Hi guys!

I'm from Brazil and in the last two days I was reading about the Android 9 Pie update to our Mi A2.

I also read that today it started to roll out to India and some European countries.

For curiosity I installed ExpressVPN, conected to an Holland server and tried to download the OTA. It worked flawlessly.

I flashed via fastboot the Magisk patched boot of 10.0.1 build and got the Magisk also working flawlessly.

For the Camera2 API, I just edited the Magisk module and added the line "persist.vendor.camera.HAL3.enabled=1". Then I installed it through Magisk module screen. It also worked.

These are the steps I did:

1 - Obviously you will need to be on Android 9 Pie

(Try to download the OTA via VPN or wait to get it in your country)

2 - Download this file and extract it: https: // drive.google.com/open?id=1b9jRc1gZuPJatds5RkuCiJtuE7UCH5wh

(Remove the spaces)

3 - Turn your phone off and boot it in Fastboot Mode by pressing and holding Power + Vol Down and then, plug into the USB;

4 - In the extracted files, open the folder "Plataform Tools" and then open the Power Shell window.

(Inside this folder I added the original "boot.img" and the "patched_boot.img", all from 10.0.1 build)

5 - In PowerShell, just type: fastboot boot patched_boot.img

(It should boot with Magisk installed)

6 - Open Magisk, tap Install and chose to install directly. Reboot

(It will prevent Magisk get uninstalled after reboot)

7 - Transfer the files "Camera 2 API Enabler - Pie.zip" and "Google Camera - 5.1.018 Arnova8G2 8.3b1 (Pie).apk" to your phone memory.

8 - Open Magisk, go to "Modules", then tap the yellow buttom, search for the "Camera 2 API Enabler - Pie.zip" file and then install it. Reboot

9 - Once the phone rebooted, install the "Google Camera - 5.1.018 Arnova8G2 8.3b1 (Pie).apk".

(Go to Developer Options and unchek "camera.enable_micro", so you can use 5MP on front camera)

10 - Done! You're now on Android Pie with Magisk and Google Camera

I downloaded ExpressVPN and changed to Holland, I still don't get the update.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Ricardo Guariento:
I really don't know why I managed to get this in the first try.

Try to follow this (steps made by users that got it)

-Remove SIM card;

-Reset to factory state;

-Start the initial configuration;

-Choose Nederlands;

-Don't log-in in Google Account;

-Don't activate GPS when asked;

-Once phone starts, download ExpressVPN;

-Choose to use it as trial;

-Choose Holland/Nederlands server;

-Try the OTA.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Ricardo Guariento:
Pode ser, não tem problema.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Ricardo Guariento:
I think so!

You just faked your region, the OTA file will be the same for everyone.

In my case, the phone was fully set up (with Google Account and all the stuffs) and I managed to get the OTA. It has no sign of a Netherlands-like phone at all.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Ricardo Guariento:
No, this is a legit OTA.

You will lose OTA if you screwed up with system partition.

If you install Magisk and use its modules, you still be able to get the OTA.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Ricardo Guariento:
You still get the OTA with unlocked bootloader.

Follow the instructions on OP and you will enable Camera2 API without touch the system partition, so you will have no problem with future OTA's.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] bidhu:
Does the ROM remain rooted after following this procedure?

where r u
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Neel@1234:
Try to do some research on the forums, you'll get all of your answers.

To summarise, Magisk is the best form of root you can get on a phone today.

To enable Gcam, you have to edit a few lines in build.prop file in your phone's system files. There are a lot of guides on the forums for that. But after android pie, I've been having issues on enabling Gcam without root.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] kishd:
Even if OTA is disabled after rooting it's not a real problem. They ota zips are available on XDA and can be flashed as they become available. They are usually up before the OTA becomes available for most regions.

Yeah battery life has improved actually. And the app/action recommendations work fine.

But there's one bug anyone noticed? When screen is in landscape mode, you can't access the settings menu from notifications panel as it goes under the screen and you can't scroll down either?

And the adaptive brightness seems to be broken. It just adjusts randomly, goes from 100% to 25% and again back to 100%

Also the photo quality of Snapchat photos has degragded. Even my Moto G4+ used to capture better snaps.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] hmmmmmmmmmm:
patched_boot.img has no magisk?

Hi!

The guide to update to Pie worked great! I used ProtonVPN. Pie is really worth it on the Mi A2.

But, when doing the ".\fastboot boot .\patched_boot.img" in the PowerShell, no error occurs, the phone boots, however, there's No Magisk Installed. :/

Hope you can help me.

Hello friend!

I really don't know if you undo your changes in build.prop it will be able to install OTA.

In this case, you can flash system.img and boot.img from the stock image on Fastboot mode, so you will have an untouched system partition.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] matheuscnobre:

I've followed all the steps to uptade to pie. Edited build.prop to enable camera 2api, but my frontal camera doens't work in this version of GCam. Do you have any Idea of whats going on?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] minnuss:
Could you check something for me because you have magisk and rooted phone.

In build.prop, are there lines

persist.camera.hist.low

persist.camera.hist.high

persist.camera.hist.drc

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Ricardo Guariento:
It seems that these lines don't exist in build.prop

You can check the build.prop in this link: https :// github.com/TadiT7/xiaomi_jasmine_dump/blob/jasmine-user-9-PKQ1.180904.001-V10.0.1.0.PDIMIFJ-release-keys/system/system/build.prop

And the second and most anoying, after I installed the camera .apk I managed to get two installs of the camera in the app board. Can I uninstall the previous version with something like titanium or will I **** everything up? Anyway to get rid of the old camera app?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] kishd:

Xiaomi doesnt have problems with unlocked bootloader, so you can keep using OTA updates. I think Magisk doesn't create issues with OTA too, but I don't have experience with Android One phones, just MIUI phones (I love Xiaomi.eu builds, I can keep custom kernel + magisk + updated debloated ROMs :) ).
