I really need to have FULL system backup including all personal files of different ROM's namely LineageOS 18.1 & OOS 11 so i can swap on the fly using TWRP only without going torough hustle of using computer and installing OOS manually, is this possible?

Nice guide, i but it was written for unofficial [TWRP][3.4.0-14][instantnoodle]Unofficial TWRP for OnePlus 8/8 Pro Unified(Stable) mauronofrio (Android 10) and explicitly states "Backup Restore" NOT WORKING.

How about official TWRP v3.7.0_11-0 (Android 11/12) it also has limitations with restoring Super() partition?

P.S. i run into weird problem:

TWRP v3.7.0_11-0 (Android 11/12) & LineageOS 18.1 Recovery (Android 11) is crashing after some time if used on phone with installed OOS 10 (Qualcomm Crashdump mode).

TWRP v3.7.0-11-0 (Android 11/12) is not even running if OOS 13.1 installed.

TWRP v3.7.0-13 BETA 3 (Android 13) is not even running if OOS 11 installed.

How come this happening, isn't TWRP installed on separate partition and should be unrelated to version of Android installed on the phone?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nimueh:
You can't run an A11/12 TWRP on an A/OOS10 system or an A/OOS13 one, and you can't run an A13 TWRP with an OOS 11 system. You always have to use the version of TWRP that's made for your system ;)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Vovan2k:
I undeerstand, could you explain why exactly it is so? In the past versions of android like 4-6 i was able to switch diffeent version rom's with same TWRP, what changed now?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nimueh:
No clue, I'm a user and no dev. Something about different file systems and/or encryption methods I guess. Oh and of course Google making life more difficult, erm "secure", for us with every new Android update :rolleyes:

Just keep the major TWRP versions in your storage and boot or flash the one you need ;)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Vovan2k:
Another question how this slot A and slot B work?

When inside TWRP active slot: A SUPER() partition size: 0 MB

then switch to slot: B and SUPER() partition size: 14,336 MB

when reboot TWRP (active slot: B) SUPER() partition size: 0 MB again

then switch to slot: A and SUPER() partition size: 14,336 MB

when reboot TWRP (active slot: A) SUPER() partition size: 0 MB again

What is going on?

I had real "fun" upgrading OOS 10 to LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11) it required using recovery from LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11) that was crashing phone before it successfully sideload image over fastboot.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nimueh:
No idea to any of that lol. My 8P is still on stock rooted OOS 11 and will stay there, the only devices where I use custom roms are my OP 3 + 5T and both have normal A-only slots. I'll eventually try a custom rom on my 9P but so far I've not had the courage to even attempt that ... a/b partitions are scary lol 😨
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Vovan2k:
I come across some explanation about A/B slots here.

If you are running is on slot A, the update will be installed on slot B and phone boots from slot B, if it fails to boot, it will switch back to slot A.

One partition is active and one is inactive, the OTA will always install on inactive and after reboot inactive will become active and active will become inactive.

They started using slots A/B slots with Android 9, but with android 10 they added more complexity to it by using dynamic partitions (Super Partition).

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Extreme_Ninja2099:
Flash a ROM on your 8 Pro lol.

slot A/B is not a big deal when flashing ROMs.

U only need to know what the ROM is based on and if u need to flash a OOS 13.1 fw beforehand.

Most of the time u need to flash a fw to flash the latest ROM recovery to sideload the ROM .zip

That's pretty much it
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Vovan2k:
Could you clarify what is firmware and how to flash it? How firmware is different from ROM?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Extreme_Ninja2099:
The fw is the .img files of the required partitions for a device like the 8 Pro

Flashing a fw .zip flashes every .img partition file automatically (instead of u doing it one by one)

ROMs use these fw files to work on your device thus ROMs based on OOS.... (11, 12, 13, etc).

fw is different from the ROM.zip as OP updates the phone till they stop

fw has the .img files for each OOS update and is much easier for ROMs to keep the partitions up to date

For the 8 series, most if not all ROMs include the fw in the ROM .zip file (makes OTA much easier)

But u would have to flash fw to install a ROM (not OTA updates) or u could just update to the latest OOS twice (flashing fw is much easier + faster)

For the 8T, fw isn't included due to 8T having 2 RAM variants. U would have to flash fw beforehand if there's a new base change like from OOS 13 to OOS 13.1
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Vovan2k:
Sorry its still not clear what is FW.

For instance LineageOS 18.1 has inside payload.bin this images that get flashed to partitions with similar name

Spoiler content hidden.

which of this images are FW and which are ROM files?

What "OP" stands for?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nimueh:
Noooo thx lol. I happen to like OOS 11 and plan to keep my 8P on that. I did buy a cheap-ish 9P a few months ago that I'll eventually flash a custom rom on ... once the temps go down, since that thing heats up like nothing else. :rolleyes:

FW is firmware, it's part of the OOS version you're on. Generally it needs to be on both slots, so either do a local upgrade to the version you're already running or use Firmware Flasher to do it.

OP is OnePlus lol. :D
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Vovan2k:
Ah thanks for the link, i see now there are many more files in firmware, is each .img file represents a separate hidden partition or where for instance logo.img gets flashed?

How do i tell if ROM has all this files included? I mean ROM's do have much less .img files within ROM

Spoiler content hidden.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nimueh:
Your firmware is always in the stock rom, or available through the Firmware Flasher that I linked, NOT in custom roms (as far as I know at least). I never flashed single partitions myself, never had the need - Firmware Flasher does it all and knows what to flash where ;)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] LowaEastSide:
Wow, Just Came across this Post, and these Warnings which made me realize the risks my oneplus 8 pro is in. Honestly I'm glade I didn't Upgrade to Android !2 Nor Android 13, I stuck to Android 11 Running XxX No Limit Modul, and am Glade I did after reading all the possible ways of destroying my device. I see I'm late to this conversation, but Happy I came across it, So Thank you all for the heads up.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Vovan2k:
That warning is only for OnePlus 8T/9R because this models come with either type of RAM

OnePlus 8T - LPDDR4x/LPDDR5

OnePlus 9R - LPDDR4x/LPDDR5

OnePlus 8 Pro is not affected because its manufactured with one type of ram

OnePlus 8 - LPDDR4xmy

OnePlus 8 Pro - LPDDR5

besides you can roll back OOS 12/13.1 back to OOP 11 or even OOP 10 using official OnePlus update package without even needing ADB or root.

What's the difference between Android 13.0 FW

fw_Oneplus8Pro_EU_OOS13_F64.zip

and

fw_Oneplus8Pro_EU_OOS13_F15.zip?

Which one i use to install LineageOS 20.0?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nimueh:
No idea, I don't know which requirements LOS has when it comes to firmware.

The OOS version F.15 came out around Jan. 6th of this year, F.64 on April 23rd. Those numbers are also in the full OTA download and F.64 was the last version of OOS 13 before EX01 came out in the beginning of June, which was OOS 13.1 - I hope that helps ;)

Can use the OnePlus update app to install Oxygen if your phone using a custom ROM? So to avoid using MSM tool.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Vovan2k:
No, best you use MSM its safer i bricked my phone with 3rd party tools.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] magi44ken:
I agree. I have the OnePlus 8 T-MOBILE. That's mean I have to do the complete conversion processu: MSM tool flash T-MOBILE MSM Oxygen, install the flashable EU and finally updatebto Oxygen 13.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Renate:
Interesting. I've never seen a pair that were so far away.

Do you know which one is the GPIO and which is the 1.8V source?

Maybe the 1.8V you picked is not necessarily the one that they were thinking of.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Vovan2k:
This was not found with multi-miter, someone who had board diagram for this phone told me about this and i did not test myself, but other person with similar problem bricked phone and cant detect in PC tested and confirmed it works.

From what i understand test point can be shorted on ground as well so maybe there is closer pin on the top that can be used.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Renate:
I've seen that once that grounding sends it to fastboot.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Vovan2k:
I recovered my phone with Hydra EDL V2 cord so i had not used test pins myself.

In the past i think i used USB 3.0 port on my desktop PC with MSM recovery tool, but this time i had an error during recovery process in MSM tool when using hydra cable. So i used USB v2.0 port and this worked good.

Also never use USB ports in the front of the computer they never good enough for flashing, best to connect directly to motherboard USB.

P.S. Very funny two repair shops i went to declined to fix OnePlus, other two repair shops i went to, could not recover - saying its a brick, would not detect in PC. However when i used Hydra EDL v2 it detected right away, cable cost me 5 euro total, repaid shop quoted me 50 euro for repair if successful.

Hi

Given the apparent popularity of this device compared to other HTC manufactured, but not HTC branded devices, does the X1 not deserve the standard 3-forum layout on XDA-Dev?

A quick look at the number of viewers here shows that its a popular device, worth modding, and should not be buried away at the end of the forum front page!

I notice that the G1 - which is only available operator branded, and which does not even run win-mob has the standard xda-dev forum layout.

Maybe the forums for some of the ancient devices - Wallaby,Blue Angel (my first WM phone!), should be archived as they see very little traffic these days - their archival would make room for the new breed of winmo devices?

What do others think?

Hello,

I recently attempted upgrading my device from 5.1.1 to 7.1 G890AUCS7DRF2. The device successfully installed all 4 parts of the installation using Odin.

After the initial install I'm now having trouble with my Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. I'm not getting any sort of IP address under my Bluetooth tab.

Attempted troubleshooting:

-Attempted resetting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in the settings of the cell phone.

-Also attempted clearing cache from recovery.

-Reset device completely to factory.

The only thing that pops up is my cellular data and that works fine. Anyone have any solutions to this issue? I'm unable to revert to 5.1.1.

Hi!

Emulating games is not that difficult, I should note each emulator might need certain settings. With that said, the essentials basically come down to:

Having a ROM file of your backed up games

Having the emulator for the system you want to try

In some emulators, it might ask for extra backup files form a console, like BIOS files, keys, etc.

There is a lot of great guides on Youtube to help you step by step. Since the AYN Odin is basically an Android device, these guides will also apply to this device:

Hello everybody

i have treed to connect my windows moble (WM 6.1 ) to my car phone system ( Mercedes ) with no luck !!

i have flashed my phone and used lots of ROMs with no luck either

i tried to connect from both directions, i.e. from the car to phone or from phone to car but nothing works

the phone detects the MB Bluetooth and asks for a passcode but it won't accept it, it just keeps saying not autherised ,,

sometimes it succeeds in recognizing the mobile, I dont know how, but then the phone system on the car will keep trying to connect with mobile (flashing) but not connecting !!

i did some google search and its looks that there is a problem connecting MB bluetooth with WM 6.1

i will be very thankful if somebody could guide me to a solution to this problem

thank you

I have multiple Xiaomi devices and they can all set the notification style / control center to the old version.

However, on MIUI 13 for my Mi Pad 5, this setting doesn't seem to exist. I really dislike the new control center style and much prefer the old style, where I can see all the quick tile toggles and I can swipe directly from the top middle down.

I've tried some of the apps on Google Play that show notification toggles. However, they don't really work too well and I would much prefer to get this working using built-in setting (if available).

I've also tried disabling the System UI Plugin (haven't tried uninstalling yet), but it doesn't seem to make any difference:

UPDATE:

Looks like on MIUI 13 for Mi Pad 5, the old control center style is completely removed. On my Redmi Note 9T, I could set "use_control_panel" to 0 or 1 and it would change the control center style just fine. But trying this on Mi Pad 5 makes no difference whatsoever.

Also, looks like the only way to remove Control Center is to modify System UI, which I'm not skilled enough to do:
