I am not sure why this didn't work for me the first time I tried, though it's possible I hadn't tried with Root/Bootloader unlocked. This seems like a better solution, so I will put this in the guide. It's worth noting that apps like Netflix don't show up, but that's not my concern.

It seems to stay after updating, and at worst people can:

"pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.vending"
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] liljuny:
So no need to use WeebGapps at all then? If you had this module installed already do I have to factory reset again to do this better way?

So much recycled/incomplete/false into in this copycat thread 😂
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] xxxrichievxxx:
What are you talking about?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] cronojay:
How is this a copycat thread, dude you need to grab some glasses. This involves installing Hydrogen ROM not Frankensteining pieces of rom and installing in magisk.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Arr6:
You think this can be done without root? That will make updates easier, and maybe some apps like banking will work better.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Arr6:
Seems you are not familiar with what is being discussed here and do not have much to contribute.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] OniAraAra:
Sorry you feel that way. I made the thread to help other people that got the OxygenOS phones, at the suggestion of @Steve0007. I have given credit where credit is due.

Doesn't look like you have anything to add.

You might want to stick with the Play Services that Hydrogen comes with, so I'd recommend resetting. You could also just uninstall the module. Entirely up to you, as it might correct itself the next update.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] OniAraAra:
I just tested and it seems to work without root or bootloader unlocked. I'd still recommend getting a copy of the full OTA update packages, in case you want to get root back later (for patched magisk).

Netflix does show up without root, and you can still run the script to remove bloatware (USB debugging).
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Arr6:
Awesome, I am going to try this out.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] OniAraAra:
I hope it works. I'll be staying root, in case people need the full OTA packages.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] sunmughans:
Currently I'm on HydrogenOS 11, migrated from OxygenOS 11, flashed FlameGApps on my device via 3rd party app. No need for TWRP anymore. Everything is working smoothly including CyberPunk features.

All Gapps working, Gps and navigation working, Assistant working. Truly amazing experience. HydrogenOS seems better then OOS in many ways.

HOS11 No root, not unlocked bootloader and working fine
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Sidewinder131:
Does it make sense to do all of this if I'm in europe (germany)?

Or is there any chance, that the next patch or the one after works? Cause having to uninstall bloatware after every update, not working gapps and vanishing playstore does not sound very awesome... Not to mention that I've never rooted any phone or did anything your guide describes.

Altough having the Cyberpunk theme is a bit tempting^^
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] OniAraAra:
Sounds like the APK from that source does the trick. I tried across updates without root and it works great. I'll edit the guide to make root optional.

I apologize if anyone is now rooted that didn't want to be. It's bizarre we tried so many options for sideloading, but just an APK is the solution.

May I ask how you flashed FlameGapps? I'd tried through other methods, as TWRP wasn't available. WeebGapps is similar. Many of our problems stemmed from the fact the phone came with GMS already.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] maogic:
Can you elaborate on how you did it? I have most Gapps working but not the assistant and android auto. Thanks!
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Crushader:
How do you get Google assistant to work? It works if I manually press the mic icon, otherwise OK Google don't work, setting Google as default assistant will deactivate Ok Google switch
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] sunmughans:
Use Franco Kernel Manager Pro

Everything is inside the gapps, i used full gapps package on my device then i debloated useless apps which aren't needed.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] sunmughans:
Use flame gapps beta full package. Once official gapps for 11 released on opengapps you can download and flash from there also.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] oticktock:
May I ask how you flashed FlameGapps? As TWRP wasn't available now. WeebGapps is similar, and it has a Magisk module version, but flash the Magisk version with magisk, we face some app crashs, and when OTA, some app disappear, we have to redo the flash.

And, does you test OTA, the GApps still there and without any problems?

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Salam.Husin:
Oh no..

Have you got everything correct, accurate and in order? I mean, did you follow all those instructions given and prescribed?

There should be something wrong with the EDL and/or Qualcomm driver? Have you ever checked? Hmm...

At the time of my writing, have you got your problem resolved?

Curious...

atm i can boot in,but the error still persist..... so im out of ideas..... wondering if anyone is based in Singapore and willing to help on this? of cos im willing to pay for his/her time
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Crushader:
This doesn't work at all, installation fail cuz it don't have permission to mount system and install. You mentioned you moved from OOS, does that mean you are using non cyberpunk 8T?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] OniAraAra:
For those of you asking questions, be advised that the guide was updated. You only need to use the MSM Download Tool, and install the APK. Unlocking the bootloader and rooting is entirely optional now.

If you're still having problems with GMS crashes or the Play Store vanishing from the earlier guide, try following the updated steps.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Peaceout411:
Anybody has problems with the quick controls power menu ? Everytime I trigger it, my toggle are stuck at "loading" but if I change my network to LTE (or vice versa), they automatically load.

Also, I'm not able to use Google Assistant at all. It asks to set it at default but it is already set as default...

Any idea?

Got a phone system OS update, installed it, did the magisk slot installation, rebooted and all is well 😁
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] OniAraAra:
Did 11.0.6.8 update without root as well, no problems!

Bloatware wasn't added back, either. I'm not sure if the full package update will add it back, but there's no new packages - so at worst people just need to run the script again.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Arr6:
Were you able to resolve this? I too am missing the Cyberpunk time widget.

edit: reinstalled the full OTA update and got it back.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Arr6:
Uninstalled Magisk, locked bootloader and after phone wipe I side loaded Google Play apk and most things seem to work fine like maps etc. Looks like this will work long term.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] xxxrichievxxx:
Which widget are you guys asking for this one?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] xxxrichievxxx:
Works for me using Franco Kernel Manager 6.1.1 installed flamegapps without issue
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] OniAraAra:
Gotten a couple of mixed reports of the theme/widget getting messed up if you use the "Oneplus Switch" app. I haven't tried myself, but you might end up accidentally overwriting certain cyberpunk elements.

I recommend migrating your apps/whatnot manually.

Does it work properly on updates with Flamgapps? Downloading the plain APK seems to work pretty clean, unless there's incentive to use FlameGapps instead? Let me know.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] adamr_za:
Just joined and nice to see a buzzing community around the cyberpunk 8t. Absolutely adore the phone and purchased from Giztop who had preinstalled google play for me on HOS. As others have pointed out the only thing not working is Google OK and android auto ... As for the Chinese apps I've disabled most (the ones I could)

Those who have used flameapps can you confirm android auto actually works? (that is plug it into a car and see it working) ... It installs no issue. Just gives an error that the apps are not compatible or something to that extent
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Peaceout411:
Do you get the assistant at all? I'm not able to use it because it says to set it as default and even tho it is, it just won't work. Assistant app from play store (sideloaded)

Nevermind, it was just a permission problem.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Arr6:
What did you do to set Google as default? I have google set a default assistant but still get the same error
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] adamr_za:
Haha . yea had the same issue and changed the permissions and presto it works. Albeit without the "OK google" ...
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] maogic:
Do you mean you get google assistant works? I'm not able to get it working. It keeps telling me to set Google as the default assistant even I've already set it.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Peaceout411:
Yeah the app is still broken. However i'm able to trigger assistant with the google widget so that's good enough for now.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] maogic:
I see. I guess our best chance to get full working Gapps is switching to OOS. It seems someone has got it working. Only need to wait for the next OTA and see if there's a boot loop.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] adamr_za:
Those 10 cyberpunk edition phones that oneplus "launched" in Malaysia ... What OS did that ship with ? Somehow thinking Malaysians would want Google play services ... Would not want to gimp them (so to speak)
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Suhailap:
Hey, can someone guide me? My phone does not turn on after connecting to pc and holding the volume up and down button. I feel it is bricked as it doesn't power on or go to recovery mode. this happened during the update through the MSM tool. No, the tool didn't detect the phone or started updating it. Any help or suggestion on what can be done is much appreciated. It is a cyberpunk Chinese phone.

Error showing on MSM tool: Automatic detection of DDR failed
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] OniAraAra:
The phone is probably still on. Try holding both volume buttons + power button to get to fastboot, and power the phone down that way. Might take a few tries.

Google Assistant seems to be the only real issue with HydrogenOS. Unfortunately I found that there's too many implications when using OxygenOS. The best thing that could happen is Oneplus fix the updates.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Suhailap:
Thank you it worked like a charm. ALthough I cant' get into EDL mode using the volume up and down arrow key. Should I preinstall something on the phone.? this error keeps showing up on MSM tool: Automatic detection of DDR failed
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Mdaly001:
Its driver issue. Plug in the phone and head to windows updates and install optional drivers. Should work.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] OniAraAra:
As he said, make sure you have the drivers installed:

Is it possible to install hydrogen cyberpunk on non Cyberpunk 8t ?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] sunmughans:
Yes, i am using non Cyberpunk Device. Its Indian Variant of Oneplus 8T
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Sartota:
So, i have done everything, except the google store install, but that should be the easy part. I've already updated to HydrogenOS 11.0.6.8 and it works as espected.

Problem was, after downloading/installing 4GB of OTA Update i couldnt open magisk or any other application on the phone to execute the steps mentioned:

or at least copy the file somewhere else on the phone to not lose it after reboot.

So i had to do following:

adb shell
ls -a /sdcard/.Ota

copy the name of the file, and leave shell with exit

my filename was:

OnePlus8THydrogen_15.H.21_OTA_0210_all_2012071925_1ca8ac4.zip

adb pull /sdcard/.Ota/*filename*

The file i downloaded was saved in:

"%localappdata%\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot"

When the file is on the PC just follow DroidFreak32 guide like OP said.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Jackyphoenix:
Hi! Newbie here...

Stuck on the Restoring HydrogenOS step ... which file do I have to download from here?

.

Is this correct?

Nothing seems to be happening with both my phone or MSM, what did I missed out?

thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Sartota:
The MSM tool is correct. Remember to switch to "H2" instead of "Target" !!!

I had to remove the bumper, it just messes with activating the EDL mode.The volume buttons are hard to press. (maybe my hands are just to big and i pressed the power button too). The tool seems a bit unstable (maybe there is a timeout i dont know), the first time i opend it something came up and i left it opened for a while. After that, it wont recognize my phone und did not work at all, after restart it worked like a charme!
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Jackyphoenix:
Do I donwload ALL 5 files?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Sartota:
No, you already downloaded the correct one. The other files are just drivers, or broken, like the name stated. The Drivers in the OP Guide are the correct ones.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] white43:
So am I right in thinking with this method, it's just Android Auto that is not working?

Good day everyone, and happy new year!

I just got my OnePlus 8T bootloader unlocked, and I'm looking to do some flashing.

Yes, I'm a weirdo who's looking for a Google-Free ROM, and I know HydrogenOS is that ticket.

I tried flashing this, and I'm getting a "device not match image" error using MSM. Now, this kinda makes sense, because I'm using the T-Mo US variant of the 8T, but I'm wondering if it's at all possible to override this and force the image to flash.

Thank you!
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Arr6:
Some features like map history do not work, but gps/navigation does. Some apps like netflix, hulu do not appear in play store, you can side load it. OK Google command does not work.

Otherwise most of basic functions work, calls/texts etc. All google native apps work fine.

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] oticktock:
How did you do this, i tried the same way, flash FlameGApps via Franco Kernel Manager failed, the log says, Read-only file system, which means can't mount system as r/w.

System rooted via Magisk, give root permission to Franco Kernel Manager, flash kernel is OK.

The full log is here.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Crushader:
Then please don't confuse people in this thread, this thread is for cyberpunk 8t version only, your statement of successfully install certain things don't apply to our version of the phone.

Can you help . I had this problem then solved it. Now getting it again. Which permissions did you change ... No permissions I've tried works
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] adamr_za:
OK figured it out proper this time. Sure this will help many faced with this issue ... There are in fact two areas where the default assistance can be set ... Yes two

Just set it here and voila you good :)
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] OniAraAra:
This should help people in this situation. I'd wiped my phone several times and only experienced this a handful of times (maybe 1/5?). I recommend keeping Magisk open during the download process.

I can confirm that using my instructions (without root), Google maps and banking apps work for me. YMMV.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] oticktock:
How can you side loaded GMS on HydrogenOS with Android 11, as we don't have TWRP and mount the system partition as r/w, it's read only now
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] adamr_za:
Easy ... Download apk and install ... Everything works flawlessly barring "OK Google", android auto and location timeline

Google assistant works ... with voice

Banking apps work

Google maps work

Netflix can be side loaded

The OCD in me wanted to get "OK google" voice activation working despite me never using it so i tried going the Oxygen route. It did not work for me ... Maybe because I used the Global Oxygen ROM (don't know). But if im truthful to myself the way Hydrogen is running I cannot feel anything is lacking
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] oticktock:
yes, i know the simply install Google Play Store to ues way, but there still some problems as you said, so i still find some way to flash the Gapps to get the pure Google experience

i have tried the way flash FlameGapps with Franco kernel manager mentioned in this thread, but failed, the log says system partition is read only, we can't mount it as read & write

use the patched recovery to sideload zips is also can't reach, OnePlus disabled adb sideload in their A/B devices.

[Guide] Enable ADB on the stock OxygenOS recovery

Since we don't have TWRP yet for our 8T, having ADB enabled on the stock recovery can be really helpful if you are unlocked and rooted. For example, removing problematic magisk modules. I tried to install the EdExposed module and ended with a...

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] florincostescu:
Your statement is completely correct. Just adding the Google Photos automatic backup which sometimes work sometimes don't (and then you have to push a manual backup), so be careful not to lose recent pictures/videos when starting following the method described in this thread.

The late December HydrogenOS update works like a charm through OTA. I personally preferred to switch to the OxygenOS late December update (manually local update) even if I've lost the excellent call recorder offered by HydrogenOS. It's a matter of personal choice, you stay with the perfect OS (hydrogen) with some annoying Google bugs or you're left with the usual OxygenOS (always worst and buggy against the perfect HydrogenOS) with usual Google services in good condition.

And yes, staying put with OxygenOS oblige you to restart the entire method every time a new update appears. So hard reset, use method, OTA latest HydrogenOS and manually put latest OxygenOS in the end. Every time.

Everything worls as it should and running the latest EU (6.8) OOS.

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] OniAraAra:
I've used the phone about 2-3 weeks now with the solution (across 2 updates), so I'll probably stick with this unless OOS is changed. I'll still be replying to PMs and posts, just no guarantee on my responses being as timely.

I thought about flashing the OEM_cust.img on OxygenOS, but do OEM updates work properly? I avoided using OOS as updates were more important to me than voice assistant.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Crushader:
I'd like to know that too, if OOS allow OTA updates then I'd switch because I use a lot of voice assistant, and I'm having problem with Location history on HOS at the moment

Updated from 5.6 AA to 6.8 BA w/o any issue and kept cyber punk goodies.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Crushader:
How do you get OEM_cust.img from a firmware? I'm keen to give this a go
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Steve0007:
Don't have much time right now. Look for payload_dumper. From the dump you will get the OEM_cust.img.

Then once you are on OOS

adb push oem_cust.img /sdcard/oc1.img This will push the img to your sd card

adb shell su

dd if=/sdcard/oc1.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/oem_cust1_a This will flash the img to your slot a

dd if=/sdcard/oc1.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/oem_cust1_b This will flash the img to your slot b

If you not sure about those, don't do it. I would have much time over the week-end to explain.
