Overall I'm happy with OOS13 too. Now that I've switched to FHD I actually have a 1 or 2 more hours of screen on time, and don't notice a difference visually.

The bugs aren't great, but it could be a lot worse.

FYI: Someone on reddit mentioned that if the update doesn't want to install, try going into developer options, enabling automatic updates, and running the update again.

I soft bricked my Oneplus 8 Pro.

As an experiment, I tried to patch boot.img myself. however, it gives me bootloop.

Then I downloaded the patched boot.img by g33gz.

sudo ./fastboot devices
[sudo] password for j:
0e4b5a39 fastboot

my device appeared. But when I tried to flash boot.img, it coudn't find my device.

sudo ./fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
< waiting for any device >

Not sure why?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
--------------------------------
update,:

sudo ./fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
Sending 'boot_a' (98304 KB) OKAY [ 4.420s]
Writing 'boot_a' OKAY [ 0.344s]
Finished. Total time: 4.780s

sudo ./fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
Sending 'boot_b' (98304 KB) OKAY [ 4.322s]
Writing 'boot_b' OKAY [ 0.304s]
Finished. Total time: 4.639s

it looks like boot.img was flashed. But the device is still bootlooped.

I've attached the non-patched and patched boot.img's for IN2025_11_F.62

As always, thanks. Nice to see that in the mix of all of these new phone launches we are sticking around. I'm tempted to 'upgrade' but there's no clear move from the OP8 to me.
Yeah, the OP8 Pro I have is still more than capable for what I'm doing.

It's probably because I've stopped going out as much and I'm working from home so I just use my PC for anything that I might need...

have you guys been able to update?
I keep getting an error saying there was an issue with restart or something...

I completely uninstalled Magisk which forced a reboot. Then took the ota successfully followed by another reboot. Everything seems fine but I haven't sat down to boot your patched imaged and patch my own.
I did the complete uninstall and the triggered reboot as well but when I go and attempt to update, it gets through the whole process but then gives me an error when I go to complete the update (pressing the reboot button)

I havent even gotten to flash the patched image yet :(

Weird, so I got it to work by enabling the option that installs the update on reboot + disabling debugging in the developer menu. Then I rebooted the phone by holding the power button and selecting the reboot option...

worked after that 🤷‍♂️

Glad you got it to work. I've noticed two things that I'm pretty happy about since the update.

1) battery life is noticably better. Even the graph in the batter section is showing a flatter slope vs my last 12 hours without changing my habits.

2) I ordered buds pro 2 and couldn't adjust them (anc and other advanced settings) on the previous build.

Were you able to install the buds 2 pro manager app from the play store?

I had to grab the APK elsewhere for that...

No. In the past with my OnePlus buds z, it was baked into the os. Upon arrival of the pro 2s last week I was saddened that options to tune them were missing in the standard Bluetooth menu, until today's update.

It even did a firmware update on the buds pro 2. It's been a good day for OnePlus and I...
