Flash vbmeta.img is fastboot, by ADB command

Just like flashing recovery
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] lolo9393:
If vbmeta flash didn't improve your situation, you must flash a fastboot official rom via Miflash tool.

If new to this use Miflashpro latest, it will guide you in the rom choice and download.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] flamedrops:
If the custom recovery will shown, then you can easily manage to flash ROM back wipe dalvic/cache, cache, data, system and format data type yes. And so you can flash ROM as brand new. But take note everything on your device will wipe including photos and files. But it is the way to get back your phone to life.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] sidodz:
1 - Download this and unrar

2-enter fastboot

3-run Flash_TWRP.bat and follow instruction

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xx00xx1990:
Great Review, i also had the 6t as my daily driver before. As i bought the 8 Pro i remember your last words about the 6t, that you will not switch to another Phone... And now you bought the exact device as me...

Don't know whats better: The Phone or that it will run with omega Kernel.

Thank you.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kristofpetho:
Thanks! I loved the 6T. Like I said, I wasn't too happy about the 7 Pro's pop-up camera, but already the 7T was tempting. But then the leaks came out about the 8, it started to look better.

And I have to say, this is one hellova' phone.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Duncan1982:
Great review & sums it up rather nicely, I have the 12/256gb Glacial Green and I just love it.....? For the same reasons as yourself. Owned every OnePlus from the 3T but this is the first that really is a true flagship......:good:
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kristofpetho:
I loved the 3T. That selfie camera was a league of its own. I remember trying to compile CyanogenMod for it. Good ole days...

And back to 8 Pro - I was testing frame rendering this morning, and per-frame rendering time is ~5ms. So even on QHD resolution with 120Hz there are no frame drops. Simply incredible.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Duncan1982:
Ahhh yes the good ol' days .......? To me I'm like chainfire i used to root and mod all my devices, now there is not so much of a need to, as much as I'm sure your kernel is fantastic, I'll just stay stock, locked.....?

Which is unusual for me as with all OnePlus devices it's been the first thing I have done, now im not so much compelled to (again I'm sure your kernel is fantastic).

Enjoy and have fun with it, I'm sure you will.......:good:
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kristofpetho:
Well... Don't tell anyone, but I'm also bootloader locked currently... :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Duncan1982:
Shhhhh you typed that out loud .......? Who knows I might get tempted to unlock, but like I said it would only be for kernel, as all other mods are not needed or there are no other reasons.......root is something that has unfortunately died.

Before we needed to, there was a reason to, now it's not so much......anyway broken record .....?

#Oneplus you nailed it with the 8 Pro......?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kristofpetho:
Absolutely agree
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Surfeur-des-Reves:
Have to disagree on this, as I think it still mostly depends on what you're going to do with your device, the way you use it, the level of 'freedom' you need to have on your system/apps.

Having been root on each and every device I've had for the past 10 years, I know I could never go backward. Not just because of adblockers (yeah, I could use a vpn-based adblocker but battery consumption is not comparable) or for Lucky Patcher, but for the level of control that you get on almost every part of your system and apps.

But I guess it depends on people, different devices for different needs :)

(no intention here to start a debate on whether root or non-root is best, just sharing a different opinion, peace ^.^ )
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Duncan1982:
Absolutely some do require for a few things, also some like the freedom of the device is theirs.....no debating and each has their own take on the matter .......:good:
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] crzycrkr:
I still root, but it's definitely far less necessary than it was a few years ago. I do it for Google dialer and vanced and that's about it now
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kristofpetho:
Exactly. For some people, root is still a necessity. To each their own.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] pbergonzi:
Congrats on your new phone and kernel.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] scorpio76r:
Sounds like a great device. The price tag on the purchase of two of them right now which is what I would need, is a little too steep. If I'm able to switch, I'm glad to have the 6t's as a backup device if needed :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] TENlll423:
Great review kristfpetho!!!

I will be getting one soon..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxys:
Good Read! I'm impressed with my 8Pro Green Machine! Cool ?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] jochem86:
Thanks for the review, I am waiting till end of November for buying a new phone so probably go for this or for the 8t but don't know what the price will be and if it's worth the upgrade or go for the cheaper 8pro at that moment... I guess 6 months difference in hardware or software won't make it a huge difference I assume.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] old_fart:
https://www.xda-developers.com/realme-x50-pro-5g-review/

200 dollars cheaper, maybe better specs ?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Nah
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
Definitely great value for money...

But no development
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kristofpetho:
Yeah, don't know what phone you have right now, but probably not that big of a jump if you are currently on the 7-line. From the 6-line it is a HUGE upgrade.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] jochem86:
I also have the oneplus 6t right now and also got it in November 2018
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] WhiteWolf:
The Realme UI is very bad... It isnt even in the same league as OOS. And most of the Realme devices have no development.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kristofpetho:
To each their own. For me, it's a huge upgrade coming from the 6T.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kristofpetho:
I added my personal setup in Post 3. With this, I'm able to get 8+ hours SOT with at least one night in it. If I charge in the morning, 9+ hours SOT.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] jochem86:
I don't think you understand what I mean... I am wondering if i should buy the 8t or just buy the cheaper 8pro in December... Difference between 8pro and 8t will be minor and won't justify the higher price I think...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kristofpetho:
Well, that depends on how good the 8T will be :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kristofpetho:
If anyone is looking for a solid car wireless charger, I picked this one up:

https://www.amazon.nl/iOttie-HLCRIO...&qid=1589877972&sprefix=iottie,aps,341&sr=8-2

Even on maximum brightness with GPS running, it pumps 1% in every 4-5 minutes, and with screen off, 1% every 1.5 minutes. Very easy to put the phone in and also take it out.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] scorpio76r:
Can it be mounted on the vent in the car?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kristofpetho:
This version can:

https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B07X5159GW/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_ZXeXEbRYZKN2R

But I just personally prefer a dashboard mount.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kristofpetho:
OK guys, after two weeks now, let's talk about the display. :)

Few points: resolution, size, refresh rate, colors, brightness.

Resolution:

You can run in in 1080p or 1440p - some say they can't tell the difference between the two, but I personally can, and I can't go back to FHD... Text is crisper, photos have more detail, it simply looks better. And I read a lot of emails, so it's good to have beautiful fonts on the screen -> BTW I stay on stock Android's Roboto fonts, I simply prefer the more condensed fonts.

Size

6.7". Damn. I never thought I would have such a big screen, but after two weeks my wife's iPhone XR's 6.2" is just small. :) Because of the size, more calendar entries, more emails, and all my Fitbit stats actually fit on one screen! ...finally

One thing, though. On 1080p, the display density is set differently than 1440p. So if you switch to 1440p (QHD), all text becomes bigger. I'm not that old (yet), so you can actually go into System - Developer options - about 2/3 down Drawing - Smallest width - and change from 411 to 432. Now the scaling is the same as with 1080p, but the fonts are still crisper. (This took me two weeks to figure out :))

Refresh rate

This is the biggest jump from my 6T. At first, I was like "yeah it's smooth". After a week, I looked at my son's Pixel 3a, and I asked "what's wrong with it?!?". Then I looked at my wife's iPhone XR, and I asked "what's wrong with it?!?" I'm now spoiled with the 120Hz, and now my work laptop seems slow...

This is the red pill I talked about.

And now the technical part: frame render time is around 6ms, meaning that there is virtually no dropped frame. It took precision to tune the hardware and software to perfection, and it shows!

Colors

Two categories: bright(er) screen is perfect. Colors are accurate, and photos show exactly what it is in real life. Perfect.

Dimmer screens do seem to have a green tint (standard settings), and overblown blacks (DC dimming). But this is something I'm certain will be fixed in an upcoming update, so I'm not worried.

Brightness

After the refresh rate, this is the next best thing. I started testing the phone inside, so it was nothing special. But when I used it in the car as a GPS, even in direct sunlight I was able to see everything clearly. Incredible. Compared to the 6T, and even an iPhone 8 Plus, this thing is bright, and beautiful to look at!

That sums it up (for now), do let me know if you have any questions!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Hemant:
OP thank you for regularly posting the updates on the phone. Someone who is on the fence from moving on from IOS to Android again these kinds of thread helps a lot. As Pi am living where Google services dont work. Currently the biggest consideration is Apple Maps which works beautifully in English with all Traffic and public transport data.

So keep them coming.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kristofpetho:
Camera

OK, it's camera time! It's now been 4 weeks with the phone, let's talk about the camera. Again, this is coming from the 6T.

Few points: general feeling, everyday shots, videos, low light.

General overall feeling

This rocks. On the 6T, I almost always had to shoot multiple shots to ensure I have a good picture there. Now - my use case is mostly taking pictures of the family, and they are always moving :) Also, family sports don't have when there is good lighting, so I was almost always struggling with getting good pictures...

Not anymore. In the first few weeks I did take multiple photos (habit I guess), but it's no longer needed. 95% of the time the photo I take is simply perfect. I think the biggest testament to this is my broader family, and everyone uses iPhones -> since the 8 Pro, they keep on complimenting me on the quality of the photos, and always ask me what phone I have :D

Everyday shots

Yes, because the family is always moving around (including our rabbit), it's very difficult to get a decent picture. With the 8 Pro, it's actually very easy to do that now. I guess because of the better sensor, shutter times have been reduced, so motion is no longer showing on the pictures (unless of course there is significant movement). But these are the more difficult scenarios.

For simpler scenarios, like group picture with everyone posing, the rabbit laying down, etc., the pictures are perfect, good enough to immediately take to a print studio, even without editing.

Videos

Honestly, this is the best part :) I am lucky to have a 21:9 QHD monitor, and I love watching movies on it. I was always bummed that none of the previous phones was able to shoot in that format. With the 8 Pro, they introduced Cinematik 4K. I now always shoot in this mode, in 60fps. And oh my it's beautiful. It already fills the whole screen on the phone, and it's immersive, but when I show the family the videos on my home computer, they are in awe. And it's perfectly fluid with 60fps! And this captures every single detail in sports, so perfect.

Low light

I only include this section because for some reason people actually take photos in low light... :)

Now in the Netherlands it only gets dark after 11PM, so this is a bit difficult to test, but every single dusk picture I took turned out perfectly, again prompting my family members to ask me what kind of phone I have. LOL

Let me know if you have any questions!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kristofpetho:
Hi All,

A general update this time, with some observations.

Charging

My chargin habits already changed a lot since Dash charging, but Warp charging is another thing all together. I used to have an iPhone, and charging overnight was standard. No exception, every single night plugged into the charger.

With Dash charging, that changed. I plugged in for 30 minutes in the morning, 30-45 minutes in the evening, and all was fine. Sometimes I had to charge for longer, but overnight charging was a thing of the past.

With the 8 Pro, this has changed even more. Since the battery last a long time, my phone is still around 40-50% by end of the day, so I basically only plug in in the evening, and that's it. 30-45 minutes plugged in and I'm good for another day. Incredible.

It's simply very convenient.

Kernel development

I thought I would write a few lines on this as well.

What I like:

- 4.19.y kernel

- CFQ is default IO scheduler again

- CAF is now compiling with Clang as default, so the code is much cleaner

- Kernel source updates are fast from OnePlus (even if there was that single glitch with the camera driver, but it is now solved)

What I don't like:

- Additions like Opchain, Houston, etc. -> ithout those, how cool would it be to just have an always updated almost-pure CAF-based kernel?

- A lot of excessive debugging is left in the kernel that slow the stock kernel down

- WiFi and RMNET extension drivers are not opensourced. It would be great if those were open sourced as well. Would be incredibly beneficial from a devving perspective

Let me know what you think!

Hi bro,

Plz, I need help to Permanent disable my Dopod 838 Pro phone radio, also disable to appear phone function in Comm Manager. Because my Dopod 838 Pro mainboard chipset error, I sent to HTC service centre, they said need to replace the mainboard, cost USD470:eek:.. my 838pro problem is when switch on phone radio will cause the ppc hang, if just switch off phone radio, it just become normal, but sometimes it will auto switch on phone radio every restart. so I just want to make it like a normal PPC without phone function.
