[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Fif_:
Got the same problem.

Woke up yesterday with OxygenOS 13 installed when I was happy on OOS 11.0.13.13.

I had root and Xposed installed, and now I'm unsure on how to proceed.

I am beyond annoyed as I will have to spend time reconfiguring my phone.

Was that Google or OnePlus that force pushed that release?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] axelryder:
I'm in the exact same situation as you here, very frustrating. I'm searching for answers as well...
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] acidreian:
I'm ****ing pissed right now, look like the only option is to loose everything on my phone and factory wipe the phone out using MSM TOOL. Even though there most definitely is a way to have the files either be recovered or a way to fix the recovery to get ADP/FASTBOOT to work. How the **** does a unlocked bootloader phone get corrupted from a Fastboot TWRP file recovery that is designed as a failsafe to be loaded on VM to test before flashing.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] acidreian:
I smashed the **** out of my phone and restarted it maybe 1 times and some how got into fastboot mode.... IDK how the **** this happened.. but it shows up on the ADB now IDK what the hell to do.

That is the guide that bricked my phone.

DO NOT USE FASTBOOT with any version of TWRP on Oneplus 8T with OOS13.1
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] acidreian:
Currently Got fastboot working and successfully booted into OrangeFOX latest from Github found here.

Releases · Wishmasterflo/device_oneplus_opkona

Orangefox Recovery for Oneplus 8 series and 9R. Contribute to Wishmasterflo/device_oneplus_opkona development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

Issue is I would like to backup my phone someway but I don't think a solution is near.

When trying to FastBoot Boot the TWRP .IMG from the link above it had to of corrupted my bootloader. or something... Makes no sense as it should not have touched anything booting into VM.

I am tempted to Flashing the Recovery.img from orangefox. But at this point I need a hand with one of the actual programmers if available to help diag this issue?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] acidreian:
Currently unable to decrypt my data on the OrangeFox recovery Due to it not accepting my PIN passcode..

So no way for me to recover my files. Either OrangeFox does not support ?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Fif_:
I was force-upgraded to 13.1.0.580 (EX01) and I'm having success with OrangeFox-R12.1-OPKONA-OOS13-V15 from:

Release OrangeFox Recovery Oneplus 8/8Pro/8t/9r R12.1 V15 · Wishmasterflo/device_oneplus_opkona

Changelog: Updated my build system which seems to have fixed some bugs in Orangefox now (old log zip file cleaning, disable reflash current Orangefox, etc) all that should work now Synced with lat...

github.com

Success as in: OrangeFox boots via fastboot boot, decryption works.

Haven't tried backing up yet before attempting to re-root.

Now the biggest risk about re-rooting is gone: I can disable/remove all the Magisk modules (some of which were Android 11-specific) before booting with root the first time.

Note that:

- newer versions of OrangeFox will not work since apparently Android 13.1 on OP8T still uses FBEv1 while OrangeFox 12.1 >= V16 has FBEv2.

- I haven't tried flashing recovery, just ran it with fastboot boot.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] acidreian:
So I personally got the phone to Fastboot boot both these versions of orangefox.

OrangeFox-R12.1-OPKONA-V20.img

OrangeFox-R12.1-OPKONA-V16.img

I have no flashed the recovery but both of those worked I didn't notice anything different between the two.

I cannot boot my phone up without having this error below as seen in the photo.

In both versions of Orangefox recovery I have no way to access DATA it won't allow me to decrypt my data drive. Not sure that is because Its not flashed as a recovery or not..

So I'm currently screwed...

I also don't know what actual version of the encryption is being used. FBEv1 vs FBEv2.

Both Oranges = useless so far...

Anyone got any ideas how i can revive this phone or retrieve my files instead of MSM Please chime in.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] axelryder:
I don't know that much about these kind of procedures, but is it possible that the TWRP img we flashed was incompatible with the OnePlus version we have?

I have the OnePlus 8T+ KB2007, and I flashed the "twrp-3.7.0_11-0-kebab.img" from here. Was it maybe not meant for my phone?

I have the exact same error as your screenshot @acidreian :(

I am able to go into TWRP, and FastBoot, so hopefully if there is something I can do from there...
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] SSF|Jaxas:
Well, that's fun - I tried to reboot and it's in crashdump mode now 🙃

Guess it's over to the MSMtool for me - can we block the OnePlus update servers in the hosts file or something? I'm assuming this update will just force-install again on 11.x somehow if left alone, so resetting would only be a short-term fix...
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Fif_:
I wrote you needed V15, not V16 not V20.

If it's in crashdump mode, you're probably hosed.

I was able to

(a) boot with https://github.com/Wishmasterflo/device_oneplus_opkona/releases/tag/R12.1_V15

(b) make a TWRP backup

(c) pull out all my files.

Next, I'm planning to re-root:

I've moved all the old modules away (mv /data/adb/modules /data/adb/modules.old) and am about to try booting a Magisk-patched root fs.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] acidreian:
Solution Found!!

I was able to get my phone working again.

Also I used V15 v16 V20 for orangeFox all results for Data were the same.

Solution was to FastBoot Boot any of the OrangeFox v15 V16 V20 .IMG from the github.

Then when in the OrangeFOX recovery Select the Partition button and selecting the other SLOT A or SLOT B. Switch SLOT or what ever the terminology is. Soon as You switch from SLOT A to B or B to A the phone reboots and OOS 13.1 booted right up.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] acidreian:
As for Putting Root back on my phone I'm like... Okay I bricked the phone and somehow managed to bring it back to life without loosing anything other my my mind for 10 hours. So how do I go about installing root back on my phone... FML>> all the guides don't apply exactly to the latest 13.1 OS with an unlocked bootloader without custom recovery.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] maliceomalice:
Hi, I have the same issue of where the phone auto update to OOS 13. I've downgraded to OOS 11, and disable "System Update" app, but it still update to OOS 13 again.

We got any solutions on how to stay at OOS 11 permanently?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] axelryder:
OMG that was exactly it!!

I still had TWRP working and when I booted into Slot A instead of B, the phone was able to boot normally!

Now, how to root it indeed...
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Fif_:
I was able to successfully re-root by following that process.

I'm half-way through re-adding the Magisk modules I was using.

So far, I'm still able to pass SafetyNet with Magisk, LSPosed, and a few other modules.

That'll be my last OnePlus phone. This kind of behavior should not be tolerated.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] acidreian:
Can you provide a detailed description how you added root back to your phone after you got automatically updated to OOS 13.1.

My phone is currently running

OnePlus 8T KB2005

Unlocked bootloader

No twrp or Orangefox recovery

Old magisk Apk still installed 26.0

I really appreciate if you can help out.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Fif_:
It's all in the previous posts:

Boot into OrangeFox-R12.1-OPKONA-OOS13-V15 from https://github.com/Wishmasterflo/device_oneplus_opkona/releases/tag/R12.1_V15 (V15 only, no later versions) with fastboot boot.

Remove /data/adb/modules.

Root normally (patch image, etc).
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] acidreian:
While I was Fastboot'd into OrangeFox-R12.1-OPKONA-OOS13-V15 I was not able to edit or access DATA as it was listed as 0mb and the decryption was not accepting my password. I may have to remove my password and try again. Did you use the Magisk that comes with the Orangefox? or your own to install while bootd in Orangefox V15
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Fif_:
Booting into random recoveries may have hosed the encryption. Does the system still boots into Android 13.1?

I used the version of Magisk that I installed previously under Android 11 to patch the boot image (26.1).
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] cm0002:
In the same boat here, I was force updated, BUT my issue is that data connectivity with T-Mobile is broken. I suspect it because I was on the Global ROM (For Dual SIM, which is ALSO broken ughhhh) at the time. Anybody have the same issue and got it fixed?

I'm done with OnePlus, hopefully my Pixel Fold acutally gets shipped on the 18th like TMO says it will
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] adrifc:
I had by default SIM 1, and my internet connection was in SIM 2 in case it helps you.

Same problem here, KB2003_13.1.0.580(EX01) auto-installed without my permission.

Last time that I rooted my phone:

- download file KB2005_13.1.0.580(EX01) from Oxygen Updater

- patch file with magisk

- In PC terminal: .\fastboot flash boot image_patched.img

- Install magisk apk and click on direct install

Did this brick your phone? Or has anybody tried?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] alc0re:
anyone have any ideas how to prevent this auto update from happening again? I want to downgrade but it will most like just update again
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Rootk1t:
The ultimate rooting guide for all OOS versions is posted here.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Rootk1t:
The problem is also described here.

The following ways are suggested:

1a. For Google OTA update which this update is distributed through.

Install the attached Magisk module which prevents a rooted system from attempting an OTA update (it would fail). Module replaces /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip with an empty file.

This will prevent the OTA process from receiving the update file as cryptographic signatures would not match.

1b. For OnePlus OTA update mechanism

Turn on airplane mode, clear storage + cache for the updater app under Settings - Apps, reboot and after booting disable app via adb command

If you have root priviliges you can freeze it via SD Maid, Titanium Backup or 3C Toolbox which may even be better as it will be unable to selfenable itself. Turn airplane mode off.

2. Block osx.oneplus.net & otag.h2os.com as well allawnofs.com in hosts/firewall to disable check and download the update (for KB2005 NA which downloads OTA from google servers https://android.googleapis.com url may also need blocking (but it will break other things).

3. Make /data/ota | /data/ota_package | ota/.ota folders that appear in the root directory read-only (if you just delete them they will reappear) to make the download update process fail.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] alc0re:
thank you....I'll backup and use the msm tool to go back and try the above. what a **** show this forced update is. I hate so much about this version. may also be my last OnePlus, sad to say
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] cm0002:
My data connection was in SIM1 already (not that I could change it anyways since dual SIM is utterly borked on OOS13 ugh)

Turns out I had to completely remove the SIM in SIM2 from the tray to get mobile data to work again
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Marcel1127:
How did you downgrade?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] DPirer:
Are these three different options? In that case, the third one seems intuitive. But I guess I need to be root in order to make the folder read only. In that case, freezing the updater app with titanium seems also easy. Could we even uninstall it?

In case that works, could I root the phone, do the deed, and then unroot it and keep the changes? I use the banking apps and google wallet a lot I don't want to start using magisk and all that.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] DPirer:
Using the MSM tool
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] alc0re:
So far so good with these steps. I did want to ask you a question. I did a search for OTA in the data folder and i found another folder not mentioned above. There's about 4gb of data in it already so i'm wondering if it started to download the update again here, or maybe it's something completely unrelated. Do you think i should delete the content from this folder and make the folder read only like the ones above?

The folder is /data/gsi/ota

a few files that are in there:

my_bigball_a-cow-img.img.0000

my_heytap_a-cow-img.img.0000

my_product_a-cow-img.img.0000

the .0000 files also have 0 kb files, same name, without the 0000. so i'm thinking the .0000 was the temp file name while it was downloading, because these files are much bigger. talking 400+ MBs.

Quick google search on the term GSI says it's generic system images
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Rootk1t:
Those options are separate, but work the best together.

You can disable (and uninstall for the current user) apps with adb, for this you don't need root.

For freezing apps and making folders read-only root is needed.

So if you don't want to mess with magisk and root, try disabling com.oneplus.opbackup app with adb and see if it enough.

If it is not, you can block urls used for update checking with Netguard or similar no root firewall app.

I checked this folder on my device, and it's empty, and its modification date relates to when OTA updates were installed last time.

Probably your device started downloading updates.

You can wipe data + cache for the update app, disable it, reboot your phone and delete files in /gsi/ota.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] alc0re:
I appreciate you taking the time to check your device. i have already frozen the system update app. I will delete the contents of this folder and make it read only as the other folder.

Try making it immutable. root needed.

Now last time i tried such a trick with a Google-managed Android update (a long time ago, on a Nexus device), the system ended up redownloading the updates a few times per day as it was failing all the times and retrying forever.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] whyisitnotworking:
Thanks. So far this has stopped it from reverting back to original permissions. I'll continue monitoring to see if the update forces its way through.

Hello,

I am totally new in the world of the custom roms. But today, I tried to install a custom ROM on my old Nexus 5 in order to update it to Android 10 or 11.

I tried several custom ROM like Lineage and crDroid, without success.

Here the step I tried to follow.

I first installed TWRP using the `twrp-3.7.0_9-0-hammerhead.img`file. Using recovery mode of the phone, I am able to launch the app.

I have push the ROM zip file and the gapps zip file to the /sdcard folder of the phone using the `adb push` command.

I order to install the new ROM, I have started by doing an advanced wipe of:

Dalvik / ART Cache

System

Data

Cache

Then, in the "Install" menu, I have selected the ROM zip file I want to install. I did not change the default selections and I Swipe to confirm Flash. Unfortunately, it failed with the ERROR 1.

I tried to follow some tutorials in which ones they said to remove the `assert` line. But now I have the ERROR 7 :(

Can someone help me to install a custom ROM on this phone?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Reading the log, I can see

Does it mean that the lineage version I tried to install should be installed on a phone on which one Android 6.0.1 was the previous version? Because I think that this phone, before wiping everything, was on Android 5.X not 6.

Does the issue come from that?

Hello @aiSanaul,

The custom ROM zip file comes from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hammerhead-lineageos/files/18.1/

Since hammerhead is the code named of the Nexus 5, I though this zip file wad OK. But like I say previously, it's the first time I tried to install a ROM which is not the official Google Image one. So maybe, I am wrong?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aiSanaul:
You are right but maybe there is some problem with the ROM itself.
