fastboot -w has been around since forever or so, and it does format data. That will absolutely erase your user data, as if you'd done a factory reset and wiped everything on the internal sdcard.

Back up your important stuff
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] humb13:
Many thanks for replying to my post. Since this latest ROM that was pushed via OTA (OnePlus8Oxygen_15.O.30_OTA_0300_all_2010031624) is pure garbage that does nothing more than cause problems, there is no question that the best option is to wipe the phone and revert to the latest ROM on your download list (10.5.12-GLOBAL-OnePlus8Oxygen_15.O.21_OTA_021_all_2008080054_906daa239-FASTBOOT). Hopefully it won't keep nagging me about an update. This is, of course, assuming I can pull it off.

Let me see if I understand this. The first step is fastboot -w to wipe the phone completely. I'm assuming this will wipe both slots A and B. Right? After that should I just double-click on the batch file or can I use your All-In-One Tool to do the job? Am I correctly assuming your ROM is rooted, or do I have to install TWRP and flash Magisk separately?

I'm an idiot so let me ask - how do you do this? The only option on my current ROM is to back it up to Google Drive. I don't like doing this but even if I did, how do restore the backup? Is it possible to back up to a flashdrive via OTG? Can your All-in-One Tool do this for me? And finally: I don't care about media, my concern is apps and settings. Can these be backed up?

Thanks for being patient with me and my fellow morons :)

Real quick question. I'm recently unlocked ,magisk installed and global 10.5 firmware installed. I would like to use your fastboot flash to go to Oxygen 11. Another gentleman that's recently in my same boat with Verizon,unlocked took the ota to 11 and broke modem completely. What's your thought on this. ?
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] humb13:
When Oneplus' server nagged me incessantly to "upgrade" to Android 11 (OnePlus8Oxygen_15.O.30_OTA_0300_all_2010031624), I thought it would be mere matter of flashing the OS followed by Magisk. Nothing! OxygenOS ROMS can not longer be flashed via recovery. With that in mind I proceeded to upgrade using the newer SlotA-SlotB system. Then I tried flashing TWRP. Didn't work. Every time I tried booting into recovery all I got was a Qualcomm Crashdump message. In fact even the useless stock recovery was removed.

Using a program called "Payload Dumper" I extracted the img files, including boot.img. I tried and succeeded in modifying it with Magisk Manager, but flashing the modified copies didn't work either. After flashing the phone booted but still unroooted. I then flashed recover.img. This brought the stock recovery back, but there is NO option to flash anything. All you can do is clear cache and do a factory reset, but not much more. I even went as far as to use several of those strange apps that root phones. None worked.

I've been rooting phones forever and this is by far the most difficult one I've seen yet. I don't know what to do and I am out of options. As hard as this might be to believe, I'll go as far as to PAY somebody to root it for me.

If anyone of you has found a way to root this thing, even if it means going back to an earlier version of OxygenOS and shutting down the incessant upgrade nags, I'm listenting. Please help.

Go to this thread and seek out WhoAreyou. He's on this page . I've been unlocked and rooted with magisk running global firmware for over a week now. Zero issues, carrier locked verizon version Op8..... Good luck
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] humb13:
Finally ROOT!!!

Thanks for the tip, but by searching and searching I found and guy on Youtube who posted a video. HIS METHOD WORKED!!! The phone is rooted and works perfectly! His phone is a Oneplus 8 Pro. I have a regular Oneplus 8 (IN2013). Apparently if you have the boot.img file of the ROM version you have installed, it'll work (any other and you'll brick the phone). That can be extracted from payload.bin with Payload Dumper. I don't have a link, so just Google it. Of course I assume your bootloader is unlocked. If so, here's what you do:

1) Install Magisk

Canary

(Google it). Copy the boot.img file you extracted to the phone and patch it with Magisk. The patched file will be in your download folder. Copy that to the same folder as Platform Tools on your PC. Once that's done, boot your phone into the fastboot mode and connect to PC.

2) Open up a command prompt and type fastboot boot magisk_patched.img. Sit back and wait a few seconds, the img file will install and the phone will reboot by itself. Let it finish rebooting, don't interfere.

3) Once it's done, once again boot into fastboot mode. Now type, in succession, the following 3 commands. Let each one finish before proceeding to the next.

(a) fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img

(b) fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img

(c) fastboot reboot

After the phone reboots, check Magisk and you'll see it's now rooted. A bunch of Magisk commands that weren't available before are now there.

I realize I may have left out a detail or two. If so please leave me a message and I'll clarify any doubts you might have or email you any files you can't find.

This is tested and working. Go for it with confidence. Once again, use the same boot.img as the OS installed on your phone. I should also add that I did this with the lastest Android 11 version pushed to my phone a few days ago. I don't see why it wouldn't work on previous versions, but I've only tested it on 11.

Hey guys need some help here..... I have an IN2017 version.

I already unlocked my phone using the token but I'm getting "Flashing is not allowed for critical partitions" when I'm trying to flash the global rom.

I ran the command fastboot oem device-info and it shows:

(bootloader) Verity mode: true

(bootloader) Device unlocked: true

(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false

(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: true

how do I make device critical unlocked to true?
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GrandMstrBud:
Unlocked phone and got the unlock token so bootloader is unlocked. Did this by running the flash all .bat file and it tries to boot and I get to the screen that says

"Do_exit"

Yes, I used the MSM tool to go back to stock TMO then unlocked bootloader and tried it again and it worked. Make sure you flash Oxygen OS 10 and not 11, I think that's what I did since I had both downloaded but don't remember.

Since there's a newer version recently released on Oneplus website 11.0.4.4.IN21AA.

Can we download from the below official website as the fastbook rooms? Or we need to use the one in the original thread.

My OP8 was in a similar state a few days ago. I was able to use the MSM tool on my old Windows 10 laptop (USB 2.0 ports) despite the phone giving me no feedback, it showed in Win10 device manager.

I started MSM before connecting it and my laptop indicated no issue and it flashed as normal in a few minutes. Despite that I bought an EDL cable on eBay a few days ago. After flashing I realized my battery was quite low but I had spent hours trying to reboot it into EDL mode.

Is there some more updated fastbootrom version? thanks
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] graycorgi:
I put together some OOS12 fastboot rom files for the OP8, since I'm assuming there are some people who will want to be on OOS12 so they can try OOS13 beta whenever it's out soon. Hopefully this saves some people some time. A few things to keep in mind:

There is a README.TXT in the Mega link. I tried to address every possible question or concern in that, so please review it first.

Don't try to re-lock the bootloader until you do at least one OTA after flashing an OOS12 fastboot rom. I suggest you just OTA to the same version. Use Oxygen Updater to get the full image file and then install it via local update. Note that there is no C.35 full image for global, so a C.21 fastboot rom is provided as well if this is important to you. If you try to relock the bootloader after flashing a fastboot rom without first doing at least one OTA, you will get the "system is destroyed" message and need to MSM. This is due to the required "--disable-verity" option when flashing the vbmeta and vbmeta-system images via fastboot. There's no way around it that I'm aware of. If I don't include that option when fastboot flashing those images, the phone won't boot.

Incremental OTA will probably not work after doing this unless you flash a full image OTA first. For example, if you run the IN2015 C.21 fastboot rom, just install the local upgrade APK and download the full IN2015 C.21 update image with oxygen updater and install it via the local upgrade APK. OTA will then work and you can also lock the bootloader after successfully completing the OTA if you really want. If you're flashing this because you want to try OOS13 beta when it's out, then you probably don't have to worry about this. Usually those will be full images anyway (not incremental) and you probably won't have any issue installing them. Once you've done at least one full image OTA (to either the same version or newer version of OOS), incremental OTAs will work fine.

These will likely work when coming from any version of OOS, but I have only tested them coming from an OOS11 firmware based custom rom, an OOS12 based firmware custom rom, and OOS12 itself. My test device is an IN2017 I converted to global (IN2015) following one of the guides posted here. This was also tested by someone with an IN2013. Tested on Windows 10 and 11. Linux users can review the .bat file to see the commands and run them manually if they desire to do this from Linux.

Obviously don't try to run these on any other device (such as OP8 Pro). These are for OP8 and have OP8 firmware. You will permanently brick your device if you try to use it on a different phone.

Many more questions answered in the README.TXT file in the linked Mega folder.

Hi!

I need a messenger that doesn't need wifi to connect. Im using Palringo right now, and its VERY good but it looks like it uses wifi. I dont have any data plans, but on my old SDA i was using the actual OZ messenger, and i was in a car, and i connected to it, i was like "lol weird" and then i was talking to my friend for like 25 miuntes while moving around throughout brooklyn. Now i bought a wing, and the OZ doesnt do that. In fact, it cant even connect while im standing next to my router. Palringo can but, i need somehting that can connect anywhere. I dont care if it uses SMS or whatever, since i got a 400 message plan. So yeah, is there is a messenger like that?

THANKS!

Anyone?? Seroiusly why doesnt anybody ever reply to my threads?
[Wing, P4350 General] xtc.sanchez:

nah, just kidding. I use OCTRO, it's free and works with MSN, ICQ, GMail and so on. Whereas IM+ and Agile Messenger both are NOT free (Agile is not free anymore!).
[Wing, P4350 General] LiTos456:
Noo, i tried octro but all i managed to get was "MSN Port offline" or something, and im talking about something that can doesnt need wifi to connect. you know if im in a car or a train (no not underground one) and its moving throughout the city, i cant use a wifi all over you know, it will disconnect within 5 seconds. I need some messenger that either uses SMS (i got a 400 messaging plan) so i dont need wifi, or connects to like tmobile's sms network, i dont know whatever, so i can use it anywhere and even if im rapidly moving throughout the area.

[Wing, P4350 General] LiTos456:
When I used the original one, it wouldnt connect at all so i uninstalled it. But eh, let me try this then too..

EDIT: Thanks, it worked now. Too bad it uses my SMS messages. I dont have unlimited, but I got 400, but thats alright. I'll only use it when I really need to.

BTW, is there is an app like that for msn messenger?
[Wing, P4350 General] c1bear:
I have unlimited txt as well, Aw messenger no good so just stick with what i alread have, thanks for the info
[Wing, P4350 General] LiTos456:
This is weird. At first the TMO app worked. My wing was connected to my PC through a usb and everything, and it actually connected.

Then later in my room it said communication error. Just like before.

Aw what the heck. Is there an app that can normally connect to something besides wifi so i can use it anywhere...urgh...because this one is acting weird.
[Wing, P4350 General] xtc.sanchez:
Ok, you might try Agile oder IM+ Messenger, but you have to pay for them. You could also try PALRINGO, seems pretty stable and cool. Of course they all work with GPRS!

[Wing, P4350 General] bowlopho:
the OZ im app needs internet connection inorder to connect to the service. It uses sms for the messaging part.

At times there is a ton of delay when you receive a message.

The other messengers out there (im+, octro, etc) is on internet connection. When you get a phone call or lose service, it drops your connection and you will not get those messages.

I know AIM has about 9mins from disconnection to actually take you offline. so there is 9minutes of lost messages, using IM+ you don't lose the messages, but sometimes it takes forever to receive it.

I had to constantly manually refresh to get messages.
[Wing, P4350 General] LiTos456:
i have palringo. it uses wifi. I dont have a tmobile data plan though.

bowlopho - then why was i able to connect to the OZ app from my old SDA/HTC Tornado and talk to my friend on it while moving thoughout NYC in a car for like 25 mins until i signed off?
[Wing, P4350 General] tekoholix:
Don't know how much help this will be, but after reading the thread, I'm seeing a bunch of IM clients mentioned that need an internet connection, and no mention yet, of Fring (www.fring.com).

If I understand correctly, I believe that the OP was looking for one that worked without the GPRS / WiFi / Etc... connection types, and to my knowledge, albeit limited, there aren't any. My suggestion would be to get a data plan...
