[ROM][11][OnePlus8T] PixelExperience [AOSP]

[nuwan32]

Someone tell me if I'm correct. I'm getting a 8T tomorrow and want to make sure these are the right steps.

So if i want root, I'd need to flash the rom and boot.img like normal, then boot into android, install the magisk app, copy the boot.img to the phone, use the app the patch the boot.img, connect the phone to pc, copy over the patched boot.img then flash it?

Jeez, I miss the old days of just being able to flash the root zip after flashing rom.

Congratulations & Welcome to the 8T club.

You mean after unlocking your BL, Yes you are 100% correct

I can recommend this guide: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-oneplus-8t-easy-root-for-all-unlocked-variants.4210775/

For me thats the easiest way to gain root on the 8T.

Well got my 8T but it looks like since its the TMobile variant, I have to wait a week to get an unlock code...

The WiFi is not working in 04.19 plus version, I flash Global OxygenOS 11.0.7.9 first because it's Chinese Version 8T

No issues whatsoever

What about rooted?

 

[darktanget]

What about rooted?

Post root - i know two method see if it works -

personally i tend to avoid bank transfers via phone with or without root (privacy is a myth anyways), to access the account summary i use third party app e.g. "creed" for CC and use Paytm for UPI transfer they don't care about root status

Thanks i will try later on, magisk hide worked flawlessly till now but i have been always at oos so its rarely problem then what comes to privacy, i use warden to my banking apps, knowing thats maybe not enough, but theres no better alternatives at my knowledge of trust

Does Bluetooth support tws+

 

[z00man]

During call screen sleeps and goes black when try to swipe down top of the screen, and it screen wakes right again when taking finger away there.

I think i have to go back to stock or another rom because of this

Hello, I would like to ask you some questions about installing the image of the Pixel Experience, Magisk and fingerprint.

I apologize in advance for my approximate English.

1- Having followed the installation, and several tests of the first procedure of the official page document, ie:
- Copy of Recovery (which works well)
- Copy of partitions (which has functioned)
- Copy of the .zip file of Pixel Experience (which did not work, with the command adb sideload <filename> .zip ->
Mapping Update without arrival as said in the procedure at 47%)

2- I have resolved to use payload_dumper and reuse the procedure taken on the forum: ###########################################
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 Flash odm odm.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot reboot
###########################################
-> who worked well.

3- My question is: what to do in a new update of the Pixel Experience (for the month of May 2021), it must be started on point number 2-?
Will there be possibility to update via the system (Settings tab -> Systems -> System Update) ...

4- I used a procedure for the installation of magisk (ie recovery of the boot.img of the Pixel Experience system of 2021_04_19 and the Magisk archive to put at the root of the Android system) and via the Magisk Manager to generate the magisk.img patch and install it.
Is there a relation between the new update of the Pixel Experience system (example: for May 2021) and Magisk concerning the procedure of point number 4- (concerning the recovery of boot.img that will not be the Even)
Will it always have to pass this way to maintain the rooting of the phone?

5 - I have some problems with my fingerprint who in most cases tells me that my fingerprint is not recognized and rarely it recognizes it. (I add the same finger several times), but the problem of recognition of the footprint comes back. (I have placed a protection screen, and my fingers are clean, no dalsure), would you have encountered the same problems?

I thank you all for your questions and answers on this forum that helped me a lot.
Well to you,

Hi all, I got stucked at flashing product with error not enough space to resize partition. Was wondering if anyone have any suggestions or how to solve this please? Thanks.

So I really wanted to flash pixelexperience. followed the guide but when i get to the part to flash rom, i sideload the rom zip and kept getting this error: error in /sideload/package.zip

It just wouldnt flash. ended up flashing lineage os and it worked.. even tried flashing pixelexperience rom through lineage recovery, didnt work.

Ummm.. can this rom flash on a China Retail version of 8T? I'm following the install guide on the offical website, but I getting a “Error applying update: 7 (ErrorCode::kInstallDeviceOpenError) E:Error in /sideload/package.zip (status 1)"

device's product_name is "kona" rather than "kebab", model number is "KB2000"

sorry for my bad english.

You need to put the zip file in the same folder as where the adb and fastboot is located. Than it will work
