[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Extreme_Ninja2099:
This is a temporary guide until an official XDA thread of crDroid 9 by the maintainer is out

I'm posting the latest ROM info, install method and files for the users who are crDroid fans like me :)

Code:

*** Disclaimer

I am not responsible for any damage you made to your device

You have been warned

I'm not the maintainer or a crDroid dev

crDroid is a vanilla ROM, so there's no Gapps included

You don't have to be on OOS 13 to install the new CrDroid update as OOS 13 Framework is included

If you're on an OOS 12 or 13 based Custom ROM -> reboot to recovery -> factory reset then follow the clean flash method

The vbmeta and recovery.img files are from the payload.bin file of the ROM.zip file

The .img files are compressed into a .zip file and the tool I used to extract them are attached below

Flashing Instructions:

For flashing/getting OOS 12 in both slots:

Use Msmtool to come back on oos 11.

Download latest full zip of oos 12 from Oxygen Updater app or from OxygenOS builds XDA thread (You need to know your model number!)

Download and install the OPLocalUpdate apk from this XDA thread

Go into Settings -> system update -> local upgrade

Find the OOS 12 .zip you just downloaded from oxygen updater

Install it and reboot

Repeat steps 4 to 6 (To install OOS 12 on both slots)

Unlock bootloader

For first time install/ Clean Flash:

Have an unlocked bootloader & OOS 12 (C20 - C36) flashed to both slots.

Download ROM the file named like this: crDroidAndroid-13.0-XXXXXXXX-instantnoodlep-v9.X.zip

Download vbmeta, recovery for your device which is in the .zip file attached below

Put it in the same folder where your ADB/platform-tools files are

Reboot to bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot reboot recovery

Choose "Factory reset"

Choose "Apply update" -> "Apply from ADB"

adb sideload "crDroidAndroid-13.0-XXXXXXXX-instantnoodlep-v9.X.zip"

Reboot to recovery.

Choose "Apply update" -> "Apply from ADB"

adb sideload gapps.zip (Nikgapps basic or full recommended)

If you want to install NikGapps Addons do this

Otherwise, go to the next suggestion if you want root or just reboot to system. Up to u

Reboot to recovery

Choose "Apply update" -> "Apply from ADB"

adb sideload addons.zip

Repeat step 1 - 2 for other addons

If you want root do this

Reboot to recovery

Choose "Apply update" -> "Apply from ADB"

adb sideload magisk.zip

OR adb sideload magisk.apk

Reboot to system & Enjoy!

Otherwise, just reboot to system. Up to u

To update:

Download ROM the file named like this: crDroidAndroid-13.0-XXXXXXXX-instantnoodlep-v9.X.zip

Put it in the same folder where your ADB/platform-tools files are

Reboot to recovery

Choose "Apply update" -> "Apply from ADB"

adb sideload "crDroidAndroid-13.0-XXXXXXXX-instantnoodlep-v9.X.zip"

Reboot to system & Enjoy!
