Was reading past posts and read that Global OTA isn't fully out in the wild. Would I be able to boot the patched img then patch Inactive Slot and boot that slot (which in theory would be Global ROM with Patched boot.img)? I plan on disabling DMVerity (just the System Partition checking not Encryption/Decryption) ASAP because it has caused me hours of frustration on the OP6T, and restoring my backups of apps (I hate manually xfering data).

***EDIT***

Gave the scenario above a test. European and Indian Boot files will not boot properly over the Global ed. As of this moment my phone says it is up to date, which means I will have to wait till OnePlus finally releases Kernel Source (for some reason they are lagging again, really hate that game, already went through it with other OP phones) and/or the Global OTA pushed out to me.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] RainGater:
If I have an Indian 8T (KB2001), would I be able to install a global/beta ROM (if and when available) and be able to unlock the bands so that I can use it in USA? 5G bands and bands 66, 71 is not available in the Indian version but present in the US model.

Just wondering whether a software update would turn this on as I believe it's the same hardware but the software hides it? Just a wishful thinking on my part, of course. ;)

I always unlock bootloader on day 1 of receiving my phone :) Does that mean as long as bootloader is unlocked, I can downgrade directly too?

I'm assuming this will work on the TMobile Variant?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] epr:
I got mine yesterday. I have unlocked the bootloader and now I would like to root.

How can I check which OOS variant is installed?

It is model KB2003, Build-Number is 11.0.1.2.KB05BA
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] theincognito:
Anything is possible with unlocked bootloader :p

However, oxygen updater might still throw an error, so you might have to downgrade via fastboot.

Can anyone in here do me a favor and unpack this payload. I can't get my environment set up correctly for the payload dumper. This an ota from the US 8T. I just want the boot image.

Here is the ota

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] DroidFreak32:
I highly reccommend you both backup the persist and probably even the modem partitions before you attempt to flash another region's build. I have added the commands to do so in the OP

From the OPNord thread again, I quote:

==================

Thanks! Can you please confirm the Model number? Is it KB2005? Once I get the model number I will add it accordingly to the OP.

==================

Yeah I'd like to disable it too. I assumed when patching the boot.img magisk will give me an option to disable focrencrypt and dmverity but it didn't. I come from the OP3 and I completely lost track of all the changes introduced in Android since Nougat. Encryption can be a huge PITA.

Do let me know how you do it later.

==================

Yeah if you have the bootloader unlocked and the full OTA Zip downloaded for your variant you can use this method to root your 8T

==================

You can find out from adb.

In my case:

adb shell getprop ro.build.version.ota
OnePlus8TOxygen_15.I.16_GLO_0160_2010150110

[MENTION=9350973]All[/MENTION] Can anyone help me out mapping the Build number with the model number of the device?

[MENTION=5363856]DroidFreak32[/MENTION] The way to disable DmVerity is to flash this zip file from here, https://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfe, then in the filename you set your options (E.G. "Disable_Dm-Verity_03.04.2020" to disable just DmVerity, "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020" to disable DmVerity and ForceEncrypt, etc.).

successfully rooted KB2003 EU with OOS11.0.1.2_EU

I followed the instructions and used the prepatched "boot_magisk_patched_11.0.1.2_EU.img" from OP.

First attempt failed (no root was not detected in magisk manager).

After second try with -> fastboot flash boot boot_magisk_patched_11.0.1.2_EU.img root was enabled and now it's persistent.

So now I can start the movement from my OP7Pro :cool:

Thanks for the guide [MENTION=5363856]DroidFreak32[/MENTION].

P.S. I also did a backup of the important partitions like mentioned in the OP.

Same as video below?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] jwarrior319:
As long as you have the bootloader unlocked then it will work that way. Thats how i did it. We even have a semi working twrp that will give root adb access so you can dd the boot image. That way no need to download full rom.

I believe its built for the 8 but it boots to a black flickering screen but has adb access with root. Only use it with the fastboot boot command though, dont flash it. Check the other root threads here. Its in one of them with instructions.

Hello,

I followed the Non-PC method, but I am now stuck on "Qualcomm CrashDump". I am using a OnePlus 8T KB2003, and was on 11.0.6.8 and got updated to 11.0.7.10. What I did exactly was :

Update Magisk App, and image to latest Canary version, reboot, and then followed the method. I did probably something wrong (well, what else...) but I do not know what to do to get out of the problem. Do you have any advise or any link to follow, please ?

Thank you for your help.

Sorry to hear that. I don't think you did anything wrong, but I do think your phone downloaded an incomplete or corrupted OTA file.

I think you could have downloaded the full rom and flashed it over the failed update.

You can via fastboot, but don't flash it. Use the boot command, then go into magisk and do a direct install.

Can't the ROM for a different region be flashed? I mean can I not CLEAN flash OOS (full ROM) for Europe in KB2001 or KB 2005?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
@DroidFreak32 Thanks so much for this thread. I got my brand new OP8T yesterday and it's now happily rooted. I followed your instructions for the manual process and it worked like a charm. My only moment of panic was when Magisk said SafetyNet failed, but I had simply forgotten to enable Magisk Hide!

What I loved about your process is that I could created the Magisk-patched boot image on my phone after installing payload_dumper in Termux. So, I ran the whole process on my phone, with the exception of booting the patched boot.img from my PC (you can't very well run fastboot commands from the phone that's in fastboot mode!)

My phone is K2000, running OOS 11.0.8.11.KB05AA
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMystic:
So you installed the ROM for the American market on your Chinese phone model. And confirming it is working?

I had this doubt if I can install the American/ European build on my Indian unit (KB2001). Because they have packed a few nagware on the Indian OS.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
If you tap on the country at the bottom of the OP download page (in my case it's https://www.oneplus.com/au/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=PM1605596915581) you can choose other countries. The EU countries have files named 11.0.8.12.KB05BA, but the American and Asia-Pac ones are named 11.0.8.11.KB05AA, however the Americas have a different MD5 checksum to the A-Pac one.

So, no, I didn't install an American rom on my (I believe global version).

Hello,

i have a problem with rooting my 8t, i tried to root yesterday but my error i extracted the wrong boot .img (i was on 11.0.5 and i used 11.0.8.11) obviously i bricked my 8t but fortunately i recovered by flash new rom by fastboot. but now despite the boot.img being the right one I can't root i flashes the magisk_patched.img but the device goes into bootloop. and I'm forced to flash the original boot.img., some idea? I'm on 8t eu (kb2003) with 11.0.8.11 kb05AA.

thank you.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMystic:
KB2003 should have OOS 11.0.8.12 KB05BA.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] angus6969:
thanks for the reply,

I flashed the right version for my device and rerun the procedure but always the same result, if flash the magisk_patched.img the bootloop goes and if i use fastboot boot magisk_patched.img fails the first reboot and restarts normally. any idea?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMystic:
I’m not sure if the fastboot command you have used is the correct one. Double check it.

Are you using the correct patched file for your device model and region? The patch file is unique for each OOS Build. I mean it is different for 11.0.5.6 and let’s say 11.0.8.12.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] angus6969:
for the flash of the rom I think yes I have seen that I have checked and the version corresponds to the one that flashed and the phone works perfectly for the boot.img is the one extracted from the payload .of the rom .. the commands are those written in the first post ..
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMystic:
So basically, the Magisk patched boot image fails to install.

Where did you get this patched image file from? I see that the newest link in the OP corresponds to 11.0.5.6. But your ROM is 11.0.8.12.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] angus6969:
I downloaded the last rom I don't remember from where, I think from the official site, I extracted it with payload dumper, flash rom with fastboot and then used boot.img with magisk, created magisk_patched.img file and then flash boot img with fastboot commands
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMystic:
That could be where the problem is. Download the correct ROM for your device from OnePlus website, and create the Magisk patched boot image again and try flashing it.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] angus6969:
sorry I did not understand well. do you think the problem is a corrupt or wrong rom? because corrupt it cannot be seen that I am using it .. could it have something to do with a / b partition? can i have damaged something in the beginning when i used a global rom for flash?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMystic:
You created the Magisk patched boot image from KB2005BA rom or KB2005AA rom? Also which build? 11.0.8.12?

Thank you for sharing this! I was going to use payload dumper to get the new boot.img but payload dumper only works with full OTAs, not the smaller incremental ones.

Do you mind if I ask how you got the boot.img?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
If you're rooted you can dump the updated boot image (in the inactive slot) using dd after you've installed the update and before rebooting.

Note: you don't have to remove root to install the OTA, you only need to restore the stock boot image to the current slot so the update works. You can do this using dd. This way you keep root whilst doing the OTA.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] g96818:
Just like BillGoss said, i dumped it just after taking the update, but before rooting. Open powershell or cmd on your computer and type the following:

adb devices
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot_a of=/sdcard/boot_a.img
dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot_b of=/sdcard/boot_b.img
exit

then copy it from the phone. I compare the hash for both a & b to the previous boot and keep the one that's different. or you could see which slot magisk will boot into when you're installing. magisk will display which slot you'll be rebooting into.

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] g96818:
I'm not sure which version OS you're on, but if it's not 11.0.8.13.KB05AA, then the patched files in older posts are outdated by now. You should download the stock boot file I posted and patch it yourself with the latest version of magisk canary.

If you just updated to the latest 11.0.8.13.KB05AA, then you can download the file I just posted and run the following:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot magisk_patched.img

You'll need to change the file name to match what you patched or downloaded.

Then do a direct install from magisk after the phone boots up.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] i8890321:

You might as well update to the latest version before rooting.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] nero075:
I tried the non-PC method to update, and now I'm getting kernel errors.

Here's what I did:

Uninstalled magisk (just restore images), didn't reboot

Installed update via system updater. I got installation errors until I removed root, only after doing that did it work. didn't reboot. The version it had was 11.0.8.13.KB05AA

Installed magisk to inactive slot and it prompts me to reboot.

Then I boot up and it says "Qualcomm crashdump attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00007f00"

I tried `fastboot flash boot boot.img` using the boot.img (11.0.5.6.KB05AA+Stock) I used previously to root (edit: and same result with the latest), and that ends with a similar message saying dm-verity device is corrupted.

edit: well at least it wasn't hard to restore stock. Still curious why the kernel panic happened; I definitely followed the instructions for non-pc upgrade

Any ideas?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] g96818:
I'm not sure. It's the same issue a couple other users ran into. You might have gotten a corrupt update file. I know there's a way to force it to boot into the other boot slot, but I forgot where I saw it.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] nero075:
Seems unlikely though since I got the update through the official updated? Maybe a freak occurrence?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] g96818:
Maybe, but that was the consensus of other members. The only way to know for certain is to dl the ota file yourself vice using the built in updater. I post the the official dl link for the ota file.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] nero075:
I think I'll just try the PC method next time this comes up. Nbd either way.

I recommend you use the MSM tool at least once. You'll be problem free after that. I've had all kinds of update and root issues until I used the MSM tool. I also don't get any of the update bugs other ppl run into and complain about on the op forum.

I'm going to assume you used it to restore so you'll be fine with the non-pc method in the future.
