The zip is flashable, but without the twrp, you can't flash that way.

Instructions to flash (noob friendly):

YOUR BOOTLOADER SHOULD BE UNLOCKED

1. Flash OOS 11 on both slots (Use local upgrade option/flash via fastbootd).

2. Check using this app if u have OOS on slot_b:-
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.devcheck

1-2. (ALTERNATE WAY) - Flash OOS to slot_b via fastbootd and set the active partition as slot_b.

3. Download the latest Pixel experience ROM.

4. Download and install Python3 on your PC (TICK THE ADD PYTHON TO PATH OPTION):-
https://www.python.org/downloads/

5. Download payload dumper and extract its zip:-
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850510260

6. The Pixel Experience ROM should be on ur PC.

7. Now extract the Pixel Experience ROM.

8. Put the "payload.bin" file from the extracted ROM file to payload dumper/payload_input

9. Run payload dumper.exe

10. Wait for all files to be extracted.

11. Now install adb and fastboot drivers (Skip to step 13, if you already have it):-
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

12. Extract the adb and fastboot drivers zip and add that folder to path (if you don't know how to add a path, google it).

13. Enable USB debugging via developer options on your phone and after that connect your phone via USB to PC.

14. Now go to payload dumper/ payload_output folder and open a command window there.

15. On the command window, type the following commands one by one:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot -w
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash system_ext system_ext.img
fastboot flash product product.img
fastboot reboot

16. Done! Enjoy Pixel experience ROM

For updating subsequent builds of Pixel Experience ROM, download the latest build, follow steps 7-10, 14-15. But in step 15, skip the "fastboot -w" command.

How does one check if they have OOS on slot_b? I used the app you mentioned and I see I have an active slot_a

How is they!?

It should work with slot_a too. It worked for a guy I know. Just proceed with the rest of the steps and you should be fine.

¿¡Cómo están !?


¿Cómo se comprueba si tienen OOS en slot_b? Usé la aplicación que mencionaste y veo que tengo un slot activo_a

Imagine that you leave home with your modified device and that for anything you fail you need a tool that at any time allows you to recover it even for basic use, so in this way I will never touch my phone

They say it will never come

who is they and why?

 

[Limgmk]

I can't turn on wifi after flashed. Also It seems that the screen refresh rate is only 60hz. Other than that fingerprint is working, also gcam.

My wifi is also not working

I'm getting this error when flashing

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

Hi there.I'm wondering how can I go back to OOS11? Msm tool not working after flashed pixel experience.

be sure you are on slot a and both slot are installed latest oos. Also flashed the recovery included before booting into fastbootd.

I am on T-Mobile and was able to use the MSM to get back. Just make sure you're actually booted in EDL mode.

be sure you are on slot a and both slot are installed latest oos. Also flashed the recovery included before booting into fastbootd.

I have the T-Mobile variant, had an issue with slot B going to crash dump if it is set active. I did flash OOS on it before (following the instructions) but ended up flashing on slot A.

Are you in fastbood or the bootloader?
Also do you have the later adb ?
I got that a couple of times as I was using and older SDK, make sure you're on the latest one.

Can anyone tell me if the rom includes a shortcut to kill the foreground app?

 

[northmendo]

Well it appears that verizon isn't compatible with this rom. I can't get it to recognize my sim.

Hi I got just back with MSN TOOL no problem. The Rom Is nice runs smooth, but i have the same Problem as on LOS, i can't setup the FP. I have no idea why it doesn't work

 

[Xiaby]

Hi, thanks a lot for this great work. i am really happy with PE on op8T it works really well (especially for the battery life). I have some questions tho, I cannot see the app suggestions when I enable it I get "app suggestions is disabled"... Someone can help please? And also, I saw many users faced it, the fingerprint is not really fast and accurate as on oos, I need to press it strong in order to make it recognise.. but overall really nice rom!

Not going to get ported: https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_packages_apps_Settings/+/288540 and https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_frameworks_base/+/288541

Probably persist.img got corrupted somehow. Happened to me just so happened I got backup of my persist.img when the phone was new and re-installed using fastbootd. All is good now.

No go on Verizon here either.

Yeah thx I read about it, but correct me if I'm wrong. The FP works then in both ways no longer, what i mean is when it doesn't work on a custom rom, then also not when i go back to stock rom correct ???

 

[gurinder073]

I am not seeing 5G option anywhere. Does anyone know how to enable 5g in this rom?

 

[kjslabber]

Can't answer that for sure about coming back from custom rom. I haven't flashed anything except Lineage and that was back when my FP was broken. But if you keep the original persist.img you can always reflash in fastbootd to restore if it breaks. I don't think any of the custom roms have FP working because OnePlus has not released the sources yet for any development. The phone is too new.
