[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] OniAraAra:
I am located in USA and am getting 5G with T-mobile.

HydrogenOS native apps are Chinese, but it's very easy to remove them.I have already tested removing the bloatware, and gotten Play Services/Apps working. OTA updates are also supported, and the cyberpunk theme is here as well. It's a little dirty right now, but I think we'll have something clean before the game is released.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Arr6:
Have not tried that yet since I am using the phone. Will try when there is a solid solution, as it will wipe out the phone.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Arr6:
Oxygen OS would be the best solution instead of side loading the Play APK.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] OniAraAra:
It works but it's meant for MIUI, so has some bloatware/minor issues. @Steve0007 just sent me a new module I will test.

The problem is, you won't get OTA updates on OxygenOS unless Oneplus adds support or a workaround is found. KB05AA was never meant to be on this phone, but the vendors put it there. The boot.img is different, hence the boot loop.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] falizadeh:
Hey @OniAraAra let us know how that new module he sent is working out! Been following this thread closely to get an idea of what to do. Still dont know how to use the module with Magisk, kind of a noob with that kinda stuff... Any insight would be appreciated. I have tried some stuff I have searched for but can't get past making platform-tools recognize a fastboot device
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] OniAraAra:
I just received it. Google Play works and I'm testing how OTA updates will affect it. It's looking optimistic.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] OniAraAra:
There's a solution for restoring HydrogenOS and installing Google Apps. Of the options @Steve0007 and I tried, WeebGapps+Magisk works best right now. OTA updates will work and you will keep the original Cyberpunk theme. There's a couple of quirks, but overall it is clean.

I'll do a guide after I've gotten some sleep, but if you already have HydrogenOS/unlocked/rooted just install the latest module (4.0.4 worked for me, but 4.0.5 didn't):

Weeb GApps Channel

WeebGApps is a GApps package with the picoest~Nya Group:@WeebGappsGroup

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] OniAraAra:
Here's a short little script to remove all the Chinese crap, if you're running HydrogenOS:

https://pastebin.com/raw/FWXwWhT8

Save as a .bat file, and run it from your adb directory. I checked very carefully and these are the 3rd party applications you won't need.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Arr6:
That would be very helpful

I may try this HydrogenOS method as it seems to work with Google Play store. So I will have to switch from Oxygen OS to Hydrogen OS where I will get OTA updates, then side load the play store?

Would be like nice to finally see the Cyberpunk theme and add ons on my phone
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Arr6:
Makes sense, looks like Hydrogen OS it is for cyberpunk theme. Though there are a couple people in this thread that got oxygen OS and theme to work.

If you test out the new module and looks good I will try it out. The end goal is once I set it up I don't want to keep messing around with the software, so automatic OTA would be key.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] lexcyn:
This looks like the end state I want to have. I'll try it as soon as I receive my phone!
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Arr6:
Curious if this is a one time fix and if this will get the boot loop on next update or if it is sustainable
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] OniAraAra:
It took me a bit, but here's my guide on how to install HydrogenOS:

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!! 🥺🥺
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Arr6:
I wonder if this changes anything, having the cyberpunk phone released outside china would most likely have oxygen OS and in that part of the world probably AA variant.

The OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Special Edition is coming to a new market in blind-box form

Would be great if OnePlus supports this phone on oxygen OS, though this seems to be like a raffle with 10 units sold in Malaysia.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] varun.gid:
Hi guys. So I'm getting the phone from China. They said they won't flash OOS. So it will by default come on Hydrogen. So should i simply update hydrogen and then local upgrade to OOS? Or its compulsory to use MsM tool first?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Arr6:
Check out this thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/oneplus-8t-...ogenos-google-apps-theme-ota-updates.4199011/

You can run OOS but cant install updates and will lose the cyberpunk theme. At the moment running hydrogen OS with play store is the better option if you want updates and the theme. There are still some tweaks on the google side with that option
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] varun.gid:
I'm ok to lose the themes, but updates then can i manually flash full ota everytime? I'll not get boot loop right?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] g4seb:
.

Hi, i'm in EU and i buy this phone in H2O. Normally i receive it next week.

So if i understand i'll do the h2O update and after that, what did i do ? Just flash the EU OOS ?

Thanks
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] shadww:
Yah, if you receive the phone in H2O, do a local update to next version of H2O (or latest). Then go back with EU flash MSM and from there go on with normally OTA EU update.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] g4seb:
Ok, so after update H2O, i'll put KB05BA tools (european firmware) in 11.0.4.5. That's right ?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] shadww:
Yes. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=10763459528675591652

After that I upgraded using local update to 11.0.5.6 EU.

However, I think you can directly use the normal OTA update (if you can test this, it will help a lot of people here, but if you do not want to, it is always fine to do local update as I did. If you run into any issue, it is easy to do MSM again to H2O and repeat the above.).
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] g4seb:
Ok, so after MSM restore 11.0.4.5, if you want i can check to do OTA update.

Just a question if it's failed, i just do a MSM restore not with OOS, but with H2O, that's right ?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] shadww:
Yes if it fails, you go H2O MSM https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=320230

Then you will back on H2O, and follow same previous steps but for last update do local upgrade.

So currently you doing: H2O > H2O (update, do full OTA local one for this, just to be sure all elements are included) > MSM EU 11.0.4.5 > Normal OTA to latest EU 11.0.5.6

If it fails, you go the following:

MSM H2O (to get back the phone from bootloop) > H2O (update, do full OTA local one for this, just to be sure all elements are included) > MSM EU 11.0.4.5 > local upgrade using full OTA zip to latest EU 11.0.5.6

Edit:

H2O full rom links (any of these should work, I presonally updated to 11.0.4.5 before using MSM EU 11.0.4.5):

11.0.3.4 => https://otafsc1.h2os.com/patch/CHN/...15.H.18_OTA_0180_all_2011011545_6291e5844.zip

11.0.4.5 => https://otafsc1.h2os.com/patch/CHN/...ogen_15.H.19_OTA_0190_all_2011100104_3718.zip

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] g4seb:
Ok,

i receive the phone at the end of this week or next week. I'll try it.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] varun.gid:
has anyone tried just flashing OOS full OTA local upgrade after updating Hydrogen? Will it bootloop?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] shadww:
Hmm... not sure if someone did after doing full OTA local hydrogen update. might be wroth trying for sake of data collection xD
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Arr6:
I dont think that will work. Since this model KB2000 is not supported to use OOS, you may get the boot loop when updating. It will be looking for HOS for this model.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] lexcyn:
Someone did it above after using MSM to revert back to Hydrogen OS (then ran an OTA), then used MSM to get back to Oxygen and was able to use a local update without bootlooping. As soon as I get my phone I will try that method.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Arr6:
Let us know how it works out. For me after trying out the Cyberpunk theme, I would want a solution that keeps it natively. OOS would be ideal.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Accumulated:
I am on OOS with all Cyberpunk theme. Just follow the steps from one of the post here.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Huguin00:
Me too, OOS, update 11.0.5.6 and running on the AA build (Global/USA).
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Arr6:
Which one did you do? One is referencing EU OS and another with global OS. Do you have OEM cyberpunk, or did you load it separately?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Accumulated:
I used EU no other reason than that I am in EU. OEM Cyberpunk. I have got the cyberpunk phone
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Arr6:
I mean afterload flashing to OOS, do you still have to original theme that came with hydrogen OS? My understanding is once you go to OOS it wipes out the theme.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Accumulated:
I had the original theme
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Huguin00:
Once you go to OOS, boot animation, themes and lots of things go away.

Once you are able to update to 11.0.5.6, all cyberpunk goodies are back as if it was HOS.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Arr6:
I may try this OOS method. Should I lock my bootloader and unroot the phone first? Just completed OniAraAra's guide with side loading play store.

Should I remove magisk and the modules? Want to make sure I have it setup correctly before proceeding.

@Huguin00 mentioned the bootloader was locked and phone unrooted when he did flashed.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Arr6:
The real test will be on the next OOS update if it will get boot loop again or remove the cyberpunk theme.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] OniAraAra:
Let us know how it goes. The idea seems dodgy to me, but if it works it works.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Arr6:
I am going to pass on changing the software for now. Every new OOS update will be a gamble, and if its gets back to boot loop, I have to start over.

There is a higher probability of figuring out play store with HOS than OnePlus to support this phone on OOS.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] OniAraAra:
I agree, though I do not want to sound pessimistic. The odds of getting Google Play stable are much higher, and the bloatware is easy to remove.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Arr6:
Another data point: when I power off the phone and back on I get the message 'Google Play services keeps stopping' and the play icon is gone. Then when I reboot I get the same message but the icon is back.

Has anyone tried locking the bootloader after this change? I want to eliminate the warning on phone when it starts up
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] OniAraAra:
Locking the bootloader will cause a wipe, and you will get the following error:

"Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot."

Tested on mine just now, since I was going to wipe anyway.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Arr6:
Thanks for testing that out for us, now I don't have to haha

You think there is any way to get this configuration and have the boot loader locked and phone unrooted? Play store may play better with unrooted phone.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] OniAraAra:
Unfortunately, you've got to unlock the bootloader to root, and you've got to be root to get Google Play.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] varun.gid:
i remember on my chinese oneplus 6 avengers phone, i could just sideload all google apps from oneplus store. it was as simple... y so much complication now.....
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] PlanarRaider:
Made an account just to tell you that you are awesome and it worked for me. Just waiting to see if OTAs work after this. But this is the best option for me since Google Pay and all of that works flawlessly.

One thing to note for people trying this, when you boot into the updated version, you need to go into settings to change everything back to Cyberpunk Theme if you are on stock OOS looks, but it is still there after the 11.0.5.6 update!

Seriously, thank you!
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] lexcyn:
This is exactly what I wanted to hear, thank you! I need to use things like Google Pay and other services that rely on SafetyNet so I really don't want to root or muck about. I guess I could have just purchased a "real" 8T but where's the fun in that? :)

Hoping this persists after the next update

Would be curious if you have all the cyberpunk elements, is there a comprehensive list somewhere to compare with?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] OniAraAra:
The elements can be found in oem partition or /oem on your phone. When using the MSM tool, they're referenced as cyberpunk_oem.img. Some of the stuff is tucked away in other areas.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] shadww:
Yes it does.

Hey,

For 1.- MSM to Hydrogen OS using the link provided at OP.

No i have the Cyberpunk phone. The seller installed an oxygen version which after update was in bootloop so I wanted to follow your guide but I have the same thing.

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] brockmoreno:
Tried on a new computer and worked right away. Installing the latest update on. Thanks!
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] brockmoreno:
The only Cyberpunk thing that seems to be missing with OOS is the drop down menu. It looks like regular OP instead of CP2077

Edit: Found it! Under the Icons in the top slide down bar there is one called dark mode. When you turn it on you get the theme.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] white43:
Confirmed working using the EU roms. Has anyone tried to factory reset yet to see if it retains?

EDIT: Yes it does.

So all we need to see, is if it survives an incremental update OTA or if you need to do full updates. Mine happily went full update from 11.0.1.2 to 11.0.5.6 using local/full method.

Will need to check that my banking apps, google pay, maps and all that work.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] lexcyn:
As long as it passes SafetyNet it should - Wildvine is something else and if the worst is that Netflix doesn't work, I can handle that.

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Huguin00:
Glad to hear it worked for you too man, enjoy the beauty of this phone!
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Arr6:
I am seeing two potential addition paths:

1. On HOS latest version, side load Play store on rooted device. It seems like the playstore and apps are functioning normally as tested by @xxxrichievxxx here and updates should be consistent in HOS.

2. Installing global OOS from latest HOS. Cyberpunk theme remains and play store should be stable in OOS as tested by @Huguin00 here Updates are questionable. Phone not rooted and bootloader locked.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] white43:
If I have to do full updates rather than incremental to retain option 2, I'd rather have that than disappearing play store, maps, Google play, Android auto and pay not working. I'd rather do that.

It's no different if you root the device. Don't you have to apply full updates then?

The point 4 with wich tool you did it?

You use a tool of european/global version on a kb2000?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] white43:
There's a link earlier in the thread to various versions of the firmware which include the MSM tool. These usually come down as 'kebab' something or other
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Zompi:
Thanks.

What I don't understand, can I use the global tool on my kb2000?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] white43:
What do you mean by global tool?

MSM is just a tool. It's bundled with firmware for different versions. But you can use global or EU firmware on kb2000
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Zompi:
I supposed that I can't flash directly a Oxygen on my Kb2000 that has Hydrogen with MSM. Now I will try. Thanks a lot!
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] OniAraAra:
I've gone ahead and updated the guide for HydrogenOS. Google Apps is working with few (if any) issues at all. I'd recommend people follow the HydrogenOS guide unless they are already happy with OxygenOS.

Root and unlocked bootloader not required for the new method.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Zompi:
I tried with that guide that you just posted and MSM say that image not match with device. What is wrong?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] OniAraAra:
Are you using an original Chinese Cyberpunk phone? That guide is only for the special edition phone.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Zompi:
No ... But like he said before, it's not the same?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] OniAraAra:
The MSM tool in that guide is specifically for the Chinese 8Ts, as far as I'm aware. It might work on other phones, but that's what I linked it for.

You do not want to use that if you have a regular 8T. If you just want the Cyberpunk theme/whatnot, there's other threads on how to do that.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Zompi:
I have a regular Chinese 8T, model kb2000. Not the cyberpunk edition. What I was looking for was to switch to last hydrogen to an older one, or alternatively switching directly to Oxygen OS.

That's why I was looking to your guide, using only a part of that
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] OniAraAra:
I assumed that was the tool for the Chinese phone. If that doesn't work for you, I am uncertain. As things go on with these phones, I find I know less and less. I can only attest as to what has worked on my Cyberpunk one.

You might want to check these links, as they could work for you:

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Zompi:
Following what @white43 said it's not important what edition of 8T you have. Just which firmare you want to restore and you choose the tool in the list.

But I see there is some uncertainties about that.

Is what I wrote right?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] OniAraAra:
In my experience the tools are entirely separate and you will yield different results from each. If you use the OxygenOS tool, you will get OxygenOS. If you use the HydrogenOS tool, you will get HydrogenOS. The version number will also match the version of the tool you are using. I could be wrong, so feel free to correct me.

You can also put OxygenOS on the Cyberpunk phones, which is what many vendors have done. If your phone is KB2000, you'll want to find the KB2000 HydrogenOS tool (as that's what your phone is meant to have).
