[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] 5i1v3rStorm:
I don't think so. We "unlocked rooted CFW folks" seem to need fastbootd to update these protected partitions.

That is why I assume that we'll of course get regular OTAs but when new firmware is released and our great dev has to rebase the ROM on a new OOS version we'll probably have to go through a full wipe again.

With rsync to an external SSD it's not too much of a deal.

Do i need to unzip the FW Zip in my plattform tools adb folder? Please fast help
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Mine1003:
I did it, now while sideloading the zip file the phone says "signature verification failed" Install anyway?

What should i do here?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] 5i1v3rStorm:
It's just a missing checksum verification. Install it anyway. It does not mean your file is corrupt
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Mine1003:
Now it says "this package will downgrade your system. Install anyway?"

Should i?

Edit: Hit Yes, didnt work. Everytime i start the phone i get into fastboot mode. Installation was cancelled at 47%. Help guys

Cant even enter the recovery, always redirect me into the fastboot.

Rename the zip to something shorter, try again.

Tried it, this just bricked my phone. Thanks to XDA discord i just unbricked it.

What did i do wrong? Was it the wrong zip file? I downloaded it from the folder kebab and the name was evolution_kebab-ota-sq3a.220705.003.a1-07271118-unsigned.zip

Is this the right one?

I'm a longtime forum trawler and finally decided to make an account to thank you AnierinB.

I just flashed Evolution X 6.6 and, after trying every other ROM for the oneplus 8 (2017) (TMO, Global and every ROM in between) I am thoroughly impressed by how polished this ROM is.

Great work and thanks for supporting this phone!

( PS.: I'm looking forward to the fix for the slow charging ;) )
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Flash1337:
I gotta stop you here!

First off, slow down.

Second, read!

You ask questions, which are answered many times, you nearly bricked youre phone, and you ask for answers fast?

It seems too me, that you lack a bit of knowledge in the area, so do yourself a favour, and slow down.

Otherwise we will be reading you bricked it. And tbh, nobody care, if you don't read!

I will do you a future-favour here, and tell you to go to OP page 1, and actually follow the flashing guide, which worked for everybody.

Dont rush things and surddenly dont expect an answer fast, only because you need it due to an error you made yourself.

[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] 5i1v3rStorm:
This is considered rude!

It sounds like you had a right to have your ROM fixed.

Long story short: you don't.

@AnierinB has a real life. He creates his own ROM and shares it with us. I'm sure he uses his available freetime to make the best ROM he can and give it away for free!

We should be happy with what we've got!

Guys, now that the FW.zip was taken down, what is the recommended way to update the firmware to C20 or later? I haven't found a thread that contains only the firmware. Going back to stock just for updating seems a bit over exaggerated to me.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Canti Firestarter:
You have to do a full wipe regardless, so its not that much of a difference. Issue is, too many people were messing up the FW steps and bricking their phone. They would then proceed to complain about it and want a fix. The fix at that point is to msm tool back to stock. Meaning that would have to do what the updated guide says.

There is also the fact that OnePlus hasn't been making there releases available out side their stock updater. Because of this, pulling the FW for each variant is an issue.

Guess its mostly the same, but posted both, so i don't get a question from another "serve me everything" (senior member), should be enough for everybodys lazyness, and to be ahead, no im not a duche, im just a bit tired of ppl who actually don't do a little effort themself.

Good day tho.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] _Glcr:
But it's safe to do an ota now right? I already clean flashed 6.6 and it's running fine.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] BrickL0rd:
flashed the ota without issues

btw, i am missing Dolby Atmos and the Gallery app since 6.6 reflash
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] petes:
No - fastcharge for 8 and 8p are not fixed yet. 8T and 9R do fastcharge, but lock screen display doesn't work
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] antisoma:
So I upgraded today OTA and my device shows only the bootloader is unlocked screen then screen goes black and nothing further happens. Oh well, where should I start in fixing this?

Seems to be stuck in a bootloop some restarts. Other times it seems like it boots (but the screen remains black) because if I 'adb devices' it shows the phone connected but unauthorized.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] _Glcr:
did you ota from 6.6 to 6.7 (latest release)?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] antisoma:
Hi DuffBoon,

I believe so. I upgraded OTA this morning - I am not 100% sure what version I was on previously - I am reasonably good about updating regularly.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] _Glcr:
Did you update to 6.6 the following way?:

Post #1

If not, it is most likely that you have softbricked your smartphone.

There are a number of comments in this thread that will help you recover the phone

An OTA from 6.6 to 6.7 was successful in my and other cases
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] 5i1v3rStorm:
Have you done the very important firmware update step? Have you either flashed the FW.zip that had been linked in Post #1 (not any longer) or have you gone back to stock OOS and upgraded to C20?

If you haven't done one or the other than you are stuck because 6.6 and 6.7 require the C20 firmware.

I'd suggest MSM tool, upgrade to latest stock, flash copy_partitions and then sideloading EvoX
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] antisoma:
Thanks it's quite possible I wasn't on 6.6. I did follow the detailed instructions the first time but not recently when updating and just let it proceed OTA. I'll look back over comments to find a solution. Thanks for helping.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] BubbletopTag:
You actually don't have to clean flash 6.6 or 6.7. if updating

What I did keep my data was, update my firmware, then dirty flash. Worked like a charm! Except I had to reinstall Magisk.

TESTED ON ONEPLUS 8 YOUR RESULTS MY VARY! IM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU TRY YOU TRY THIS, F IT UP, AND BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] antisoma:
Thanks to everyone that helped me. I've used the MSM Download Tool to go back to stock.

My fault for not updating carefully. Wish OTA wouldn't let you make that mistake but again, my fault.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] AnierinB:
Warp/Vooc charging on 8/8Pro has been fixed as of this morning and OTA's have already been pushed. Lock screen will report warp charging now as well and that portion will be fixed for 8T/9R when they receive updates.

[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] 5i1v3rStorm:
Hey guys, I just finished dirty-updating from 6.5 to 6.7 without issues.

I know, some of you want to know how that is done, but let me warn you: We are not supposed to do this. There might be dragons.

I had the recovery and the fw.zip (C20) for my LPDDR version. If you don't have this, you MIGHT be able to just flash vbmeta and copy_partitions but I do not know this route. I can only tell you what I did:

flashed the recovery from post #1.

booted into it, then went to "advanced --> enter fastboot" (fastbootd)

I then flashed every partition from the fw.zip (LPDDR5)

I tapped on "go back to recovery", went to "apply update --> apply from ADB"

Then I sideloaded evoX 6.7.

I then simply rebooted the phone. By the way: My macOS terminal said something like: unknown error: 0. I rebooted anyway (0 is always a nice exit code).

It seems to have worked just fine, only I have to go through the process of payload_dumping a boot partition and reinstalling Magisk again, but I would have to do this anyway, right?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] _Glcr:
Before every restart, after ota installation, it is mandatory that you let magisk install itself to the inactive slot. So you don't have to do all of this again.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] 5i1v3rStorm:
Yeah, sure, I usually do that this way. But here after sideloading the update, there was no way to install Magisk via this method.

Anyway, that is so much less work than recreating every app, even with Titanium.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] devsk:
Where is this fw.zip? I have lpddr5 as well.

Right now, the main page says "be on C20 - C33" but does not tell how to.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] 5i1v3rStorm:
they took it offline because it bared the possibility of people flashing the wrong version or messing with the steps soft- or even hardbricking their devices in the process. Now the only official way is to go back to stock, update it there and come back to evo.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] devsk:
But that's kinda unfair to people who know what they are doing...:)

This whole thread (and a custom ROM in general) comes with enough warnings that people may foobar their device. There was no need to take down a perfectly decent approach to updating. Now, I am stuck at 6.5...😞

I hope they restore that and provide a path for people who don't mind taking that path despite the risks.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] AnierinB:
Updating the firmware isn't hard to do on your own. I updated the installation instructions in MY thread, and for good reason. If you don't like it, I genuinely don't care.

I'm not going to extract each and every global firmware for all four devices everytime a new full oos update is pushed.

And as I've mentioned multiple times, you don't need to constantly update your firmware. if it becomes necessary to update from c20-c33, I'll let users know. Stop obsessing
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] devsk:
That's why leaving c20 fw.zip around would have been a good move. No need to update it every time there is a new firmware. I don't care about OOS firmware much.

> Updating the firmware isn't hard to do on your own.

If you know of a method that doesn't involve wipe everything and go back to stock OOS 12, please let me know.

so i did 6.6 with fw zip to c20 and OTA to 6.7. is there a way to patch up to c33 without wiping?

i am having the issue with signal drops since ever, and any Firmware Update might fix this

8T
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] 5i1v3rStorm:
Yes, @AnierinB just posted the instructions in the lineage Wiki.

Payload_dump an official stock zip and flash the images on your own in fastbootd.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] devsk:
Thanks for the link, really appreciate it! The only problem is that the full c20 or newer ZIP is not to be found anywhere.

Oxygen Updater is offering C16 to update to and then it will offer incremental. Obviously, I can not update to OOS C16.

Oneplus support page is offering OOS 11 from Feb 2022. What's wrong with Oneplus? Why can't they release full ZIP files for their ROMs?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] BrickL0rd:

[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] AnierinB:
This change hasn't been pushed to their wiki yet. Which is why I linked that and not the wiki. Please, do not insist on using the wiki until that change is merged unless you want people to brick their devices by flashing wrong xbl/xbl_config

[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] firoz3321:
dumb question alert:

Can i download the ZIP file manually and place it on mobile and do OTA?

as i am unable to download the OTA directly: showing 600+ hours (as I cannot select the server)

The India server is slow so OTA is not getting downloaded.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] 5i1v3rStorm:
It might be possible (don't know the updater-app, though), but why don't you download the ota manually and sideload it from the recovery?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] firoz3321:
I am doing the sideload method only. Only difference is that i don't have to root again with OTA. With sideload i am everytime uploading the payload, magisk patching the boot and loading the patched boot.

So i thought with OTA i can avoid these steps. Just being lazy is all.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] AdmiralKirk:
I'm still waiting for everything to settle down a bit before I head over to the new firmware myself. But I'm guessing it's like it is usually, and only the Incremental's are available at this time. You can probably dump the relevant firmware from the incremental (Edit: Fair warning, dumping incremental's is a pain and requires the Full Zips they were based on, also you'll need a different dumper than that wiki recommends, check github). And again, like most things phone related, if you want the latest, you'll want to get it from Telegram. Also, just a CYA, again I haven't flashed firmware from an incremental, but I can't think of any immediate reason it shouldn't work (if anyone knows to the contrary, please say so, and I'll edit my post). If there is a full download available, it'll also probably be on a Telegram group. When I have some free time, I'll check later and see what's around.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] 5i1v3rStorm:
Out of curiosity I downloaded the full StockROM from OxygenUpdater, unpacked it and flashed the C33 firmware related partitions, following ArienerB's instructions. This is possible but neither is it required nor recommended.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] BrickL0rd:
i flashed the firmware.zips from the other thread via twrp to c33. not sure if it changed something though

https://xdaforums.com/t/firmware-oneplus-8t-kebab-ddr0-ddr1-release-updated.4299231/
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] makkonen:
I seem to have gotten myself into a confusing state.

This may have happened on the last update, or previously (and I just failed to notice until now). I installed the latest OTA update overnight. Saw no notification that it was finished when I woke up, so I tried it again (which downloaded but crashed on attempting to install). So I rebooted, which (seemingly) successfully updated to the latest version. Of course, this also meant I lost root, since I didn't let magisk update the alternate boot slot.

I rebooted to recovery to manually sideload magisk, but continually received an error (after signature verification and saying install anyway, it mentioned an error with /sideload/package.zip.)

I switched to fastbootd (thinking maybe I'd boot twrp and try install from there) and then noticed it said secure boot was enabled. I rebooted to system and realized I was getting no bootloader unlocked message. I didn't even realize this was possible.

Any idea how I managed to do this? And is this likely to be affecting my magisk sideload, or am I just imagining things?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] 5i1v3rStorm:
In latest fw there is no unlock-warning for me either, neither on a stock rooted OnePlus8, nor on an EvolutionX OnePlus 8 Pro. It is still unlocked, though and secureboot is on for me as well.

I usually extract a boot image with payload dumper and "fastboot boot" into it. This way I am temporarily rooted and can install Magisk from the app. Might that be a solution, if sideloading fails?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] makkonen:
Excellent, thanks for the confirmation that it wasn't just a crazy mistake on my part. (and not having to deal with a boot warning is generally positive, so I'm happy to keep it that way if possible.)

I will play around with methods to re-root. Yours sounds like a good one (though I'm not really acquainted with payload dumper, so it might not be my first try 😀).

[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Morgs___:
Flashed and rooted without an ounce of trouble, and been letting it play out and get settled, see if any quirks iron themselves out. So far a bloody amazing ROM, makes Oxygen feel so bland in comparison.

Main issues at the moment are:

- Occasionally when tabbing back into Discord the speed of the phone tanks. single digit refresh rates and several second delays in tapping anything. Closing it through the Recents list fixes it.

EDIT: Now this just stopped doing it by itself and I have no clue how or why unfortunately.

- One of my apps (namely Fire Emblem: Heroes) just refuses to actually load now. I know it used to have an issue with Magisk but even then, MHide always worked. Has that changed in recent months? -

EDIT: Changing the devices fingerprint using the Magisk module to the standard OP8 Pro fixed it, guess FEH has some unusual check to see if the phone can run it?

- Custom Header doesn't appear to let me actually use a custom image. Every time I select one it just blanks and returns to the image selection menu. Does it have to be a specific resolution/file size first?

Thanks in advance and looking forward to further Evo updates!

[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Yeetmeaway:
Some phones will switch to L1, some will switch to L3. Depends on luck.

However, even if you obtain L3 at the inital flash, when you install an OTA update you will have L1 restored. Worst case senario you can use MSM tool to restore to stock OOS.
