Is the newest version 3.4.0.15 safe to FLASH to partitions A&B instead of just booting?

Im using the tmo variant OP8 with SIM unlock, Unlocked bootloader - fastboot boot in twrp allowed me to root with Magisk but wanted a 2nd opinion before flashing the recovery.

Thanks in advance for any device.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] jamescable:
There is no version 15, only 14. And on 8pro, I flashed to a and b and it works

TWRP worked on android 11 roms without decrypt on my 7 pro before I upgraded to 8T. Just few tweaks. Being patient.

Has there been success flashing TWRP onto op8 yet or should we continue to boot directly into it?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] jamescable:
Read man. Android 10, twrp will flash to slot and A and B successfully. Not on 11

Phone returned to OnePlus. They say it is the China version and they can''t fix it. It will not boot. I have a dead chinese phone. I wrote the company from whom it was purchased requesting a refund or a US replacement. So glad I have my OnePlus 7Pro. Best phone ever. The 8, don't like it at all.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] RandomPooka:
They better at least be sending it back to you
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] almahix:
They are, but it is useless. I don't know if the seller will take it back, or send me another Chinese phone, or anything. They have a California address but they are really in Australia. If they are not helpful I'll smear them internationally. I'm a really nice person when I treated fairly and respectfully, but I don't like being cheated.

Better search the Chinese OnePlus BBS and get your Google translate working. There may be an MSM tool for the Chinese variant.

Ya welcome to oneplus customer service. All they have to do is use their own tools to flash it. But they also told me the tmo oneplus7t doesn't exist so...

So ya, hopefully you even get the phone back. They are useless.

If you can find the msm tool for the Chinese variant, we will get you going
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] FreshlyBaked 420:
When you received the phone what OS was on it? Was it Hydrogen or Oxygen OS?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] almahix:
Oxygen 11. Seller says it is a "CN with global ROM".
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] FreshlyBaked 420:
Oxygen 11, ok. And what version? Euro, Indian, Global?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] almahix:
Global. The phone won't boot though. Not even bootloader. Nothing.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] dlads:
Sounds like EDL more is the only option there, make a thread if you haven't already.

Did you try the MSM tool? What was the output?

If a Chinese variant is required it must exist somewhere.

Pop a request in a thread hopefully a Chinese user who's on a Chinese forum can provide it?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] FreshlyBaked 420:
I have the same phone with the same global firmware. You will need to download the MSM too for the international firmware located here.

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-8-pro/how-to/op8pro-unbrick-tool-to-restore-device-t4084953

The different MSM versions are grouped by region and firmware version you want to restore to. If you were on 11 when the phone arrived use the first A11 tool , not the newest in the international section. Unless you have a serious hardware issue MSM should bring the phone back to life. If you want to pm me for some more help feel free to reach out.

Unfortunately, trying to boot the latest TWRP under Android 11 base gives Qualcomm Crash Dump mode :/

Did you guys get root working under A11 and how without TWRP?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] FreshlyBaked 420:
A quick read of the OP would have let you know that this TWRP is not A11 supported. You could have saved yourself some grief. Here is a thread that will help you.

I think I don't do anything wrong why my phone still fails in Qualcomm Crash Dump mode !

Come here and find answer: Yeah, it doesn't support A11 ... The wording should be highlight by red-color and enlarged ...

Return normally by msmtool then dump A11 boot.img and patch by magisk to get root finally.

[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] acuicultor:
Mate you did everything wrong not reading before tinkering with your device, it's your fault and only yours. As a side note to get rid of the crash dump you just need to reboot your device no need to use msm tool and start from scratch lol.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] gaww:
Awhile back I had same problem while still on 10. I tried many times to reboot, but only bootlooped. I had used the TWRP ok before an update to 10 again. I used EX to flash, but then the trouble started.

I had to factory restore to get it fixed.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] dlads:
Shouldn't have.

If you flash something and it breaks something, think about it?

What did you flash? Where did you flash it to?

Replace that with what works and you're back

Fastboot 9/10 can get you back

Saying that we've all been there. ;)

But installing twrp from here on 11 is pretty indefensible. There are a plethora of pages and the OP says 10 too.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] tfae:
You just need to

READ

and follow this guide: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-8-pro/how-to/op8pro-unbrick-tool-to-restore-device-t4084953.

My 8 Pro is the Chinese variant too (IN2020), came with the International ROM (IN11AA) installed and I was able to reflash it with the European ROM (IN11BA) with no troubles.

I bricked my OP8 Pro multiple times in the initial days of tinkering and I have always been able to revive it with the MSM Tool. There's no reason for you to not achieve it too. You just need to enter EDL mode and it would be very strange if the phone was so hardbricked that it doesn't even enters EDL mode.

Just make sure you have the drivers correctly installed on Windows and that you are using the original cable.

I repeat: read that guide carefully before attempting to mess with it! Read it as many times as you need until you are confident that you know what you'll be doing!
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] almahix:
I appreciate your advice. As soon as I get the phone back from OnePlus I will attempt the MSM procedure. It is due here any day now. I'll post my results. One question though. Given that the phone came with oxygen 11 may I choose to use an Oxygen 10 msm instead. There is nothing in 11 I care about and mauronifrio's tools work on 10 not 11.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] FreshlyBaked 420:
If it returns to you working with out issues I think you should be able to use a downgrade zip to return to A10. However before doing anything I'd recommend that you backup the persist.img first . MSM is meant for devices that are bricked.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] almahix:
The phone is dead. OnePlus in Texas wouldn't fix it because it is the chinese variant. They just shipped it back untouched. So there is nothing to backup. I don't know if EDL will work...we shall see. I hope so.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] tfae:
You can use whatever MSM you want ;)
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Lucke98:
You can backup persist in MSM tool.

Open MSM

Login as other

press F8

Click persist option

In password, write oneplus

And press save or whatever it says.

Now a button called read-back should appear

Press it and after it's done, persist.img should be located at /c

[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] TheKnux:
The command for restoring persist is "fastboot flash persist persist.img" or whatever you named your persist.img.

But first you have to be booted to Android, open up command prompt or PowerShell and type "adb reboot fastboot" and make sure you're in fastbootd.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] almahix:
Mesdames et messiurs I am in such a state of shock that I am suddenly speaking French. With the guidance and support of all the people on this thread that advised me, I successfully MSM revived my otherwise dead OnePlus 8 Pro.

The adb sideload command is not working in TWRP.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] ioctl0:
It seems my device went to the adb sideload bootloop. TWRP start and goes to adb sideload, so I have to reboot it with VolUp+Power.

It seems, "run sideload mode" command for TWRP stored in the cache partition, but I cannot erase it with fastboot, because there is no such partition.

Update: This cache wasn't partition, it was a directory on /data/ partition. So, I have to wipe userdata from fastboot to boot TWRP in normal mode.

So, that problem is fixed, bug adb sideload still not working.

I wish!!! I'm curious about TWRP as well but I don't even know if it is being implemented. I sure hope so. For app and data backup there is Titanium Backup if you're rooted. But how did you root Android 11 on 8 plus. Everytime I tried I crashed my phone. None of the altered boot images I found worked. Is there another way?

Hello @mauronofrio. I'm new to the thread and i wanted to know with your latest twrp build, one: does it boot on OnePlus 8 and 2: what works there and doesn't? And 3: can we or can we not currently flash an Android 11 rom like the beta Pixel Experience?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] mattie_49:
I flashed on Verizon Op8 last night in regular fastboot not edl/ fastbootd. So that's incorrect. Restored it perfectly.

Yes I'm rooted in A11.0.2.2.IN21AA. it's TMO moved to global. I used the payload dumper to extract the boot.img then patched with magical magisk. Place on a and b slots and boom, rooted. Happy molding!
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] TheKnux:
It's not incorrect. I was just stating the method I used since regular fastboot didn't work for me. As mentioned in a few different posts, it's easier to flash things in fastbootd rather than regular fastboot since it allows the ability to flash to critical partitions.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] almahix:
I wanted to do that but I couldn't find the file for payload input so I located the resulting altered boot file and got rooted that way.

It is disappointing the there is no TWRP for Android 11 yet. I personally have used it to root or flash ROMs. If you look at the TeamTWRP website you can see they are way behind in developing versions for the current selection of new or recent (1-2 years) phones. Makes we wonder if they've stopped. The most current OnePlus phones have TWRP thanks to our friend Maurinofrio Mataresse, but even he has fallen behind. From my limited understanding, Android 11 has some differences from previous versions that make it difficult for TWRP to get information it needs to obtain from the ROM in order to function. Until that is resolved, those of us who still wish to root our phones will have use the root.bin files that have already been altered with magisk. I for one would like to see a public repository of phone and ROM versions' altered files for those (like me) uncomfortable with the process of making it themselves. (I'm getting braver with the forum's support, but I'm not all that intrepid yet!)
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] osm0sis:
I don't really have time to debunk everything that's going on in the post above, but bigbiff has been working his ass off and, along with some help from the rest of the frequent TWRP contributors (mauronofrio included), they're near a release of 3.5.0 for full Android 10 support. Plus biff's now working on the Android 11 bring-up and there may be potentially back-portable Android 11 decryption fixes for the Android 10 tree. Please maybe get informed before you get "disappointed" in the future. 😘

If anyone would like to be more informed of the active development and help testing for supported devices it all is open to the public in the TWRP Slack: https://join.slack.com/t/twrptesting/shared_invite/zt-6n0prc0w-Jy~lE7zMH5CYnsFrSleIPA 👍
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] :
And i can tell you I don't need twrp now... Custom roms can be flashed with fastboot and magisk also.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] jamescable:
And how do you plan on flashing custom kernels? Or any flashable fixes?

Without a recovery, you will be at work and if a boot loop happens, you have no phone till you get home
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] mattie_49:
You can backup and flash any kernel you want through exkernel manager. And TWRP for a10 the restore system features doesn't work anyhow. Fails out. Guess just don't reboot while at work. Im on a10 and have never flashed TWRP to my device . I only boot it through fastboot to install magisk and that's it.

I'm glad to hear it. I was just summarizing what I've seen and what I've been told. Great to know the developers are still at it. And I apologize if anything I said was offensive. It certainly wasn't intended. I have enormous respect and appreciation for those who make it possible for us to use our devices as we like. I am a user, not a developer.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Nathan.7118391:
Don't apologise, you have nothing to be sorry for. If he really wanted to help out then he should place that link on the "Guides, NEWS, and discussion" forum. Not belittling you. I've been here a very long time. In fact, this is my second profile since I lost the password to my first one and email address too. I've been rooting and modding since gingerbread. I remember when we had Philz, CWM, ROM Manager as choices. It was bad-A! Now the main one is TWRP which was just as good. We still have a few out there like RedWolf recovery, Sky Hawk recovery, Pitch Black recovery and OrangeFox recovery. Some of them based off TWRP which means no recovery yet. And the others seem specialized. You are right to feel disappointed and frustrated because in the world of tech there is a shelf life of developer interest until the next big thing. Keep your head up and keep feeding your brain! Happy modding!
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] osm0sis:
Nobody's hiding anything. It's open source. You are free and able to check into any project you want before making weird assumptions such as the developers losing interest.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] tfae:
As if a (non-paid) developer couldn't lose interest on something just because some cry-babies demand them to keep doing what they need. lol

Even paid developers lose interest on projects on which they're being paid for!

I'll be really happy if/when a stable A11 compatible TWRP is released.

But while there isn't one yet, one can just work on making it happen or wait until some skilled dev does it.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] jamescable:
I do believe all stuff should be open source. What if 'ofrio died and because he is working closed source, we lose twrp for 8pro? If you develop on xda, it should all be open source

[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] dlads:
Why do you need TWRP?

There's very very little that can't be done without it.

Getting it working on 11 is a massive ballache which explains delays etc.

Plus like I said you don't need it for root, ROMs, installing mods.

If you're unsure how to get rooted without TWRP I've got an extremely elaborate guide in the guides section which should help.

In short it's quite simple.

As for the devs holding back, it's not like that. It's tedious work and easy to lose interest or not be in the mood and or be able to give it your all (which is what I'd like to do if I'm putting my name to something)

Plus with covid going on around the world i can't imagine it's helped either, everyone's a bit depressed.

Merry Christmas everyone ;)

PS: the Chinese have developed several TWRP variants and closed off their code AFAIK, certainly not sharing it, our guys don't do that, that there is the beauty of open source.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Field95:
It's very rude to tell someone what to do, especially someone who's developing and sacrificing his time just to make you enjoy the device's capabilities. This is not specifically directed to anyone but whoever thinks it fits him, can wear it.

The phenomenon of rudely demanding development stuff is on the rise, and I strongly doubt that users appreciate the work nowadays (not all but huge amount).

I want to thank Mauronofrio and all the developers who made TWRP available for our devices, and everyone who worked and contributed to the community!

#HatsOff
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] owilsky:
I use TWRP mainly for backup purposes, i.e. nandroid backup. Is there an alternative? Something like adb/fastboot/dd?

I'd very grateful for any hints as I hold back my Android 11 upgrade at the moment as long as TWRP isn't working with it.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] dlads:
I don't think it's meant in a bad way, I agree with you if there's knowledge behind demanding, but if the person doesn't understand the hardship that's involved then ignorance can play a part.

I get family members and clients / users expecting me to wave a wand to fix things for them, not always that easy lol.

Wow I'm being so nice, it must be Christmas :D
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] dlads:
Backing up is quite easy. I mean I'd forget about a nandroid back up and even that method.

But for me I do the following.

Contacts, pics, vids all on Google or a similar cloud sync system binded to an email.

Text messages, personally I don't bother but swift back up can do this as well as everything else.

Apps I prefer titanium and I've read that swift can do the same.

There may be a way to create an image but I believe you'd have to decrypt the phone and have it pre-OS to do so which if I'm right in thinking, is the problem they're having with TWRP.

Beyond the above mentioned you don't really need to back anything else up.

You can still wipe system from stock recovery, you can safe boot to disable magisk mods, you can MSM tool or fastboot flash a stock ROM if you actually Bork your phone that badly.

I've had to do this once.

Let me know if you're committing I'll help you out it's super easy
