Not working here.

IMS also not working (Sprint, worked on the 7 Pro so dont tell me it cant!)

Nor is the brightness slider.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] juancheco95:
No, im just using pattern lock when i i try to register a fingerprint screen just hangs with the fingerprint icon:eek: probably need a screenshot to show. But so far everything is working.

When I type the command "fastboot reboot fastboot". It bring me into twrp recovery. So I'm assuming I have to flash the stock oos boot image before I can run this command?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] pyry666:
No. Just stay in that mode and fastboot starts to work as intended.

Sorry I misread..Dunno about that with twrp
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Gordietm:
I flashed the stock boot image on both slots and then when I entered the command " fastboot reboot fastboot", it brought me back into twrp again. Apparently, flashing the boot image didn't erase twrp. What else can I do?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Gordietm:
So now I installed oos 10.5.10 again on both slots and wiped out twrp.

I then entered the command fastboot reboot fastboot and it brought me to stock recovery. I really don't know what else to do at this point.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fKm:
And what is the problem now? Flash away after fastboot reboot fastboot...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Gordietm:
Just do be sure, after I enter fastboot reboot fastboot and the stock recovery screen comes up on my phone, that means I'm in fastbootd mode?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] pyry666:
Yes!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Nekromantik:
no you cant run fastboot commands from recovery

unless OP added that feature.

Fastboot mode is not same as recovery normally they are 2 different modes

more importantly why do you need to reboot to fastboot if you already in fastboot?

When you in OOS you simply do adb reboot bootloader and then bam you are in correct mode to flash those files
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Gordietm:
Not according to the OP, being in bootloader mode is not the same as being in fastbootd mode. So I want to make sure I'm flashing this rom correctly before I go ahead.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] pyry666:
You need to fastboot reboot fastboot if you want to flash criticals. Example persist.img. you cant do that from bootloader
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Nekromantik:
ah ok
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Gordietm:
Ok, I finally got this rom booted up ?. But when it reboots, I get a message saying that there is an internal problem with my device.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Nekromantik:
Thats a kernel parameter mismatch but can be ignored.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] aydinbahadir88:
can you please write the order as you flashed it? thank you
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Gordietm:
I flashed it exactly as the OP states.

Only thing I added was after flashing all the images and before rebooting, I went into stock recovery and wiped data. Then rebooted, as [MENTION=4678203]sirhc[/MENTION] mentioned in a previous post.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Gordietm:
Also no problem with Magisk. I flashed Magisk Canary in twrp and everything is working fine.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sirhc:

[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dlads:
Wonderful to see this here.. I actually haven't rooted yet which is a first for me, this just might tip me over.

One thing.

The section in the OP which says "bugs, you tell me"

I'd recommend updating that as the bugs come in.

Then they can be struck off as time goes on and it'll stop users from asking over and over.

Can't wait to flash this.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] juancheco95:
Blu spark is working amazing, haven't encountered anything wrong with it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Gordietm:
I remember on PA with my OnePlus 7 Pro a custom kernel other arter's would cause the fingerprint sensor not to work. Since fingerprint isn't working yet anyways, I guess a different kernel wouldn't make a difference.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] juancheco95:
Hopefully on this future build Fingerprint works, im not a big fan of it since i believe it consumes more battery.

Okay so i noticed volte or wifi calling was not available in the settings app, i did some research and i found this magisk module that will enable it and it works.:good:
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sirhc:
Since our framework is 100% CAF and we don’t really modify much the vowifi and volte are based on your carrier settings and restrictions, since I have T-Mobile it shows for me, for some carriers it won’t unless you forcefully enable it

My method of flashing that worked for me is I downloaded the latest oos from fastboot roms, i replaced them with the lineage files first and flash.bat after that do the same process this time with PA files. Seems complicated but you will figure it out ?

1. on startup ''android system there's an internal problem with your device.contact your manufacturer for details.

2. in preferred network type after selecting 5g(recommended) it says invalid network mode 26. ignore, my data works fine but i aint seen a 5g signal since

[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ed St John:
Been out the game for a while but thinking of getting back into ROMs with an 8pro, had a couple of questions if that's alright:

If TWRP is already installed does it need to be uninstalled back to stock to install as instructed in the post?

It says to ensure OOS is on both slots - what does this mean? Is this something on new devices? Will it be on both slots if nothing has been flashed before?

Since TWRP how do you do a clean flash and wipe everything or is that not needed? Thanks!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mefflecakes:
as per replies :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Nekromantik:
Yes if you not flashed other custom ROMs then you already have OOS on both slots but you mean need to flash latest OOS again to update the second slot to ensure they are both same version.

Were you in bootloader mode when you entered the command "fastboot reboot fastboot"?

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] MECH_TECH:
Couple questions

I just picked up a SM-G960F/DS for experimenting with and am wondering about rooting it. I haven't put a SIM in it yet. Can it be used without a SIM card? I don't plan on using it as a phone just connecting it to Wi-Fi and experimenting with it. I am not sure what firmware to put on it. It came with BUILD R16NW.G960FXXU1BRF8. I live in Canada and I am not sure which firmware to download for it.

As far as rooting goes does it need a SIM in it to do any of this? Can i just add my Google account to get my Apps on it after rooting?

I have not rooted anything since my S6 and searched a bit and think this is the steps to root the S9.

I think that I should first be on latest Firmware before starting this?

Steps as I found info on process to get Root

got Odin3_v3.14.1.zip on PC and USB drivers - my SM-G960W connects okay

1 enable OEM unlock on phone

Downloaded twrp-3.3.1-1-starlte.img for S9 to PC

Use Bixby Key+Volume Down+Power to enter Download Mode and connect the device to PC USB

2 Open Odin and un-tick auto reboot in "options" tab, make sure that device is detected, Put twrp-3.3.1-1-starlte.img file into AP tab, Click Start

3 When Odin shows "PASS", disconnect the usb cable and press simultaneously the "Bixby key" + "Vol. Down" + "Power" buttons until the download mode disappears

At the precise moment the screen becomes black, immediately release the "Vol.Down" button and press the "Bixby key" + "Vol. UP" + "Power" buttons during 10 to 15sec to forcefully enter TWRP recovery

4 in TWRP swipe "Allow modifications"

5 Go into Wipe menu and select "Format data"

6 Reboot into TWRP recovery again, swipe to "Allow modification" connect phone to PC again Put RMM-State_Bypass.zip and no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1.zip zips into external sdcard (or does this get done all in step 5?)

7 Flash RMM-State_Bypass.zip

8 Flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1 zip

9 Reboot the phone into system Setup Google account.

now it gets confusing as to what to do for root...

Can you try and see. On mobile data its a very very slow upload or fail of whatsapp video upload speed. Im on 3uk and i cant quite get the mobile data to be any good
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] lewmur:
#1: The first thing to do before anything else is to enable "Developer options". Go to /Settings/About tablet (or phone) and find "Build number". Tap that until it says "You are now a developer" or something simular. Normally you need to tap seven times.

#2: To flash anything you need to first perform a "Factory reset". To keep this from tripping the "FRP" lock, go to /Setting/Developer options or /Settings/System/Developer options and enable "OEM". Unless you flash another stock ROM with Odin, this setting shouldn't change.

#3: To flash anything but a stock ROM, you need Developer options enabled and when you need to flash multiple times, you should allow the tablet to reboot, connect wifi only. Skip everything else till you can get into setting and make sure Develper options are still enabled. Even if the OEM button is grayed out, you'll notice its position is still enabled.

#4: Until recently, the only time Samsung locked the bootloader was with "dedicated carrier" LTE tablets or phones. AT&T, Verizon, T-mobile etc. You need to contact the carrier to "unlock" those devices. Recent phones and tablets do have the bootloader locked and you need to follow the instuctions for yours to unlock it before flashing any custom recovery or ROM. Do not confuse "bootloader lock" and "FRP lock".

#5: Some of the instructions for flashing can get VERY complicated. READ THEM CAREFULLY!!! One missed step WILL cause the whole proceedure to fail and "starting over" can also be difficult.

#6: For those who are accustomed to flashing on other makers stuff, unless you are a true expert, DO NOT attempt to use ADB/Fastoot with Samsung stuff. Everything you need to do can be done via Odin.

(If anyone finds something wrong in this post, or has something to add, please feel free to beat me over the head with it.););)

edit: #7: When first flashing TWRP, press and HOLD the vol up button. Then click "Start" in Odin and KEEP HOLDING the vol up button until the tablet reboots to the first screen. Then you can release the button, press it again, wait a little and you should see the TWRP screen.
