[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Apota:
I'm receiving double text messages now on a lot of my text messages I receive. It doesn't seem to matter who the text message is from. It's happened after I upgraded the Radio, DCD ROM, and Bootloader to the latest versions below. I don't know if that's what caused it or if there is something wrong with the Verizon Service and I should call Verizon. Can anybody help me with this? Thank you!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] nitro66215:
Must be you. I haven't had any problems. I would call them and see if it's on their end.

It is definitely on their end...happens on Sprint to randomly....wont do a lot to call though as they don't have a clue as to why it happens,,,,,you will get the run around...."everything is fine on our end",,,lol

Are you using HTC home, by any chance? I've had this issue quite a few times before. I haven't had any dupe text messages after I uninstalled HTC Home - Just a thought.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Apota:
No, but I'm using HTC Homeplug 1.12.0.0, but it was installed via the Kitchen, so I don't think it can be uninstalled. I guess I'll wait a week or so and if it keeps happening I'll contact Verizon if it does. Thanks.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Apota:
It's still happening but not as often as it was doing it. I complained to them a while ago about getting email notifications as a SMS everytime I got a new hotmail email message. I wonder if they did something while they were working on this complaint. The SMS was from OZMail wish is a Verizon applicaton for email that I used, but stopped using. Well, I guess I will call them and see what they say.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] corporalclegg:
As title states I'm trying to determine if this device is a refurb. Ivec tried several different hidden menus most of which never open but the dialer will go blank and open up recent call history. I've also tried a few launcher apps to look for the menu but never found anything (I'm not the most literate Android user).

Does anyone know if any other ways to access the information about the devices condition status.

Thanks much to all who contribute to this forum, a lot of very good data here!
[General Topics] jwlee1111:
I have my old Galaxy Note 10.1 (n8013) on android 4.4.4, so I decided to install LineageOS 14.1.

I installed twrp fine, and I installed open gapps and did everything, and it worked fine.

I discovered that I can't install chrome from the play store, so I created a gapps-config.txt file which includes chrome, and I tried installing open gapps again.

But now TWRP crashes and reboots when I flash the file, and I can't install anything.

I tried re-installing TWRP and Factory Reset, but nothing works for me.

Can anyone help me?

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] lordxcom:
a couple of notes for any either newBs or old OPO users rejoining the party with a new onplus phone..

Some prework I had to do for my OnePlus 8T KB2005

-ensure you have the correct ADB driver installed, I installed the "15sec adb installer 1.4.2" found here on xda, watch the videos provided.

-ensure to unlock your bootloader first (*this will wipe your device.. didn't think about that..no pain no gain...)

-With device in bootloader/fastboot, run: fastboot flashing unlock

-verify with your phone to accept

-phone will reboot, just through the setup, I just skipped it all and opted for offline setup..

-renable OEM lock and USB debug

-restart back into bootloader/fastboot

-now you are ready to root
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Misledz:
Just came here to say that this is the most genius way to go about it and thanks OP for this solution. To add your screen would flicker in TWRP but you just want to type adb reboot bootloader after you are done copying off the boot files from your phone. Thanks OP!

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] sameog:
hey there! I was just about to try this method but confused with this syntax -- don't mind the quotes

"On your computer open a terminal/cmd prompt and set the directory where you want to dump the files (ex: cd /your/path/here)"

I'm painfully confused about this: cd /your/path/here. is this done during fastboot? I know fastboot commands but adb is where my brain doesn't get it. Please elaborate further and thanks.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Mpolo87:
When you open a terminal or command prompt on your computer it is, by default, 'pointing' to a certain folder. Since we're pulling files from the phone to pc it'll dump there, so it's easiest to set the location in advance, for your own convenience. You can just make a folder on your desktop and drag it onto the terminal window to automatically input that path after typing cd, which just means 'change directory'. This isn't a fastboot or adb thing, just a feature of terminals, so you'd do this in advance.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] sameog:

You're missing the command "cd" before the path to change the directory to the new one. It should be cd C:\Users\Mr. Lew\Desktop\oneplus 8t boot image then press enter. Now you can reference any file in that folder by just the name without its entire path as a prefix being required.

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] tecknight:
This is a Magisk module I created to prevent a rooted system from attempting an OTA update (which would fail). It prevents the update by replacing

/system/etc/security/otacerts.zip

with a zero byte file. This will prevent the OTA process from receiving the update file.

You can then restore the stock boot and recovery images and apply the OTA update, then re-root.

Download NoOTAupdates.zip​

Not sure if this was stated yet but easiest way to root is to change magisk apk to magisk.zip and install either with twrp zip installer or adb sideload magisk.zip it auto patches boot and installs magisk apk

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] rcbjr2:
I had to get a new OnePlus 8T off eBay the other day. I'm trying to unlock the Bootloader so I can install Magisk. I enabled Developer mode. I enabled OEM Unlocking. I've rebooted to the fastboot menu, connected it to my laptop, opened a CMD window, and entered "fastboot oem unlock" to display the unlock screen. However, the phone is flashing back and forth between "do not" and "unlock" repeatedly with a blue highlight. The phone says to press a volume key to select an option. When I just touch a volume key, it switches the option but immediately starts flashing back and forth between the two options again. If I hold down the volume key and select the unlock option, it will hold, but then the phone says to press Power to select the option, but pressing Power does nothing. I don't think it's supposed to be flashing like this. My prior 8T just let me select options. And now the only way to reboot is to use fastboot reboot because holding Power doesn't do anything. Should it be flashing like this? Suggestions? Thanks.

By the way, the phone has the latest Android 12 update. KB2003_11_C.21.

Also, when I turn power off, hold both volume keys, and reboot to get the Fastboot mode, it flashes options at the top like Start, Recovery, etc., and doesn't let me select any. Weird.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
I've found that fastboot reboot bootloader sometimes stops the cycling problem.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] rcbjr2:
I'll try it when I get back home. Thanks.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
I was thinking about this and wondering if using a USB keyboard (connected to the phone's USB port) to select the options by using the scroll up/down keys might also work even if the screen is flickering.

I've not tried this, so it's just a suggestion.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] rcbjr2:

Oneplus 8T and 8 Pro have an issue with TWRP that causes a cascade of problems, and can in fact true brick your device. I almost made the same mistake, fortunately I had a short in my cord and it disconnected during a flashing process so I had to restore my phone, and while I was waiting I did some reading and found that post. I'm glad I had a short in my cord, or else I would have went through with this and would be very angry.

I'd just put at the top of your post in all caps, something along the lines of *IF YOU ARE ON ANDROID 12 DO NOT FOLLOW THIS GUIDE*. Thank you

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] mingkee:
S doesn't play nice with TWRP.

Magisk patching method would be better
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Mpolo87:
It's a catch-22, you need temporary root access for Magisk to be able to patch the OS boot image for permanent root access. There are only so many ways to do that.

This method does use Magisk to patch the image, but you need an intermediary step of obtaining a copy of your boot image using TWRP and ADB, then using Magisk to patch that in file form, transferring it back to your PC to use ADB to temporarily boot once from the patched image file (residing on your PC), which then gives your phone root access (during this boot) enabling Magisk to actually patch the internal boot image. When you reboot after that, all should be working as expected.

I'm sure there are copies on the internet of boot images for every variant of every region and every OTA update of that device, but there's no guarantee they'll work. Using a copy of your own boot image ensures maximum compatibility for a smooth and less risky process.

Note: THIS METHOD DOESN'T WORK ON ANDROID 12, it should only be used on Android 11.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] GenTarkin:
Question for ya, there is a sticky thread that basically outlines the same process in the OP... except it uses MSM Tool Readback to grab the stock boot.img from the phone (instead of TWRP) ... is that method A12 safe? and thus shouldnt result in the possibility of ddr mismatch brick?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Mpolo87:
I'm not sure, I never upgraded to OOS12. But it may be, the TWRP method was a little janky since the package never ran properly so you could only control it via ADB. MSM Tool Readback might be a more elegant solution and more broadly compatible.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] GenTarkin:

Has anyone tried this method for Android 13, specifically for LineageOS 20?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] jgro1976:
Sorry to revive an old thread, I want to keep/use this phone but I'm having a helluva time getting it rooted. It's a Tmo kb2007 model that I just downgraded using the MSM conversion tool, though it still says kb2007, when I've let it run it's updates it at some point changes to kb2003.

So I started with this guide, and when I'm in fastboot trying to determine which slot is active, nowhere in the info dump do I see what my current slot is. The phone is also OEM locked in the dev settings, and 'fastboot flashing unlock' fails.

Should I be using another guide?

Any help, guidance or direction would be appreciated, otherwise I think I'm going to sell it and try a different phone.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] kevk60:
I'm a little confused also about rooting the 8t. Couple of threads refer to using payload dumper. Others refer to using the broken twrp method. One produces one boot image while the other produces two. I went with the payload dump method and got the boot image. Just not ready to pull the trigger yet I guess. Seems the payload dump way has worked for many according to different threads.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] sameog:
Question: Would the smart approach be to wait until "mauronofrio" (dev who maintains twrp) to release a build for oneplus 8t? Reason being is that I'm getting tired of re-downloading all my apps over my slow ass wifi.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Mpolo87:
That output looks fine, I'm not understanding what the issue is? The next step would be to take those files you just pulled over ADB and move them to your phone to be patched by the Magisk app. You didn't change the default directory, so your files should have been extracted to the same folder as your platform tools. I'm working from a Mac but this is what the outputs should look like, in my case I'm working from the desktop.

View attachment 5175997
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Mpolo87:
They're two different approaches to the same problem, the crux of it is that you can't root without already having root access which is the problem all of the guides are trying to solve. Without having a working custom recovery like TWRP, we have some extra steps to get there.

The other methods are taking the OTA update pushed to your phone and using Payload Dumper to extract the boot.img, everything after that is pretty much identical to this guide. The difference is that because there are multiple variants of the device all running different roms, those guides are a bit confusing, especially when it comes to cases like KB2005 where OTAs are only incremental and don't even contain the boot.img you need.

This skips all that extra work with Payload Dumper and just pulls the actual boot.img your phone is already using- so you already know it's the correct one for your device. I could probably update this guide to check which A/B partition is active so you only have to pull that one boot.img.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] kevk60:
Thanks for your reply. Since I have already pulled the boot image with the payload dump process I will try that route first, and if that doesn't work I will try your method. Again thanks for the reply. All in all, I guess just booting the image is no harm , no foul.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Misledz:
This is a long stretch. If they are provided a unit, they would most likely go for it to support it. But if the developers don't have the unit or there's not enough interest to pull a developer to a particular audience then most likely they would hard pass on it.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Mpolo87:
Ok, I just completely rewrote the guide to be simpler, it has more explanations and context and should be easier to follow. And yes, you could technically flash the boot.img but it's safer to boot from it so you don't brick your device if there's a problem with it.

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] xb360:
Hey, nice that OP noticed my post. I feel such methods is the most safe way as only using own phone's image file.

Which steps you stuck on?

I don't know if T Mobile have few version, if it does there's risk it can't work on your phone. Even boot with boot_a when my phone is currently set at slot_b will cause it to stuck in boot loop. I seen some poor guy using others boot file to flash, instead of boot first and stuck with boot loop as they didn't have their own stock boot file as backup. Having your own boot file as backup is the safest.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] sameog:
At this point, now, my phone is boot looping right after I flash the patched boot img. mpolo87 *did* re-write the OP.

I'm still stuck on how to get the boot img to be extracted into my laptop. I did do the drag and drop from my desktop into my command line but no dice.

Man, I guess i'm totally missing this and going about it the wrong way. I give up. <shrug in frustration>
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Mpolo87:
The directory isn't particularly important as long as adb is working, just use it how you normally would. There were large red letters advising *not* to flash the boot.img, there's a major difference between fastboot boot and fastboot flash. I recommend reading up on adb/fastboot basics before attempting to follow any guides, so you can intuit potential problems and troubleshoot more easily. Soft bricking your phone isn't the end of the world, there are other guides here on how to fix it.
