[ROM][13.0_r30][OFFICIAL] Evolution X 7.6.2 [03/05/2023]

[AnierinB]

AnierinB,​

Could you please help? Tried to ADB sideload the latest rom. Now I'm getting this error:

"Active slot: a
Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device."

I'm heartbroken if I lose my data...

Did you not bother reading the message right above yours before doing so?..

Msm doesn't care which rom u r on. Check your drivers.

Correct, the entire point of the tool is to unbrick a device and return to stock.

So I accidently hit the emergency button the other day and it told me it could not complete the call and to dial an emergency response number. Which leads me to wonder if 911 will work. Can anyone confirm 911 works?

I didn't. But now I did. For anyone interested, I was able to recover my 8 Pro and data by installing an older version of Evolution X.

IMHO, it should be very clear and documented that updating Evo will only work with a factory data reset...

That is actually an extremely good question. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to update to the latest Evo ROM, or I'd offer to test it myself. Currently, running LOS, although I'll be switching back to EvoX after the new year (seriously, after having used OOS11/12/13 and LOS, EvoX seems to be the superior option for my use cases). You can easily test 911 by following the procedure laid out here (https://www.911.gov/calling-911/frequently-asked-questions/) which involves calling your local 911 Administrator's non-emergency number and making sure it's ok to do a test at that time. If they say it's ok at that time, they will tell you exactly what to say once you've dialed 911 to make sure no one gets mad at you. Back when I installed VoIP systems for a living, I had to do this many times. It would probably not be a bad call if someone with the latest Evo were to give this a try (specifically from the lock-screen emergency dialer). That's definitely something you want to make sure is working.

Great response!! I'm going to try this. Didn't know such a thing existed so you taught me something today. Yes this is critical God forbid there is an emergency. That being said Evo-X has been an excellent rom. Not sure about battery life though. Mine is mediocre at best. I did replace the battery right before installijg Evo and it could just be a crappy 3rd party one. Can't find original batteries from one plus anywhere though and they want you to ship them the phone so they can do it if you want one. That's hard to swallow without a backup.

"Very clear and well documented", you mean as I had mentioned in the previous post as well as all over the device support telegram group? Lol

I've tested this on a handful of occasions and It works as intended.

1. Those builds for OnePlus 8/8Pro were updated to use qcom wrapped key encryption changes (which was clearly in the changelog). It should be a given that any changes to encryption would result in having to format data. I also intentionally mismatched the hashes in our OTA updater system so OTA would fail due to such. You know, there's a "Device Support" link in the OP thread you also could have joined to ask.

2. I've explained my stance on OOS cam multiple times. Just because "other ROMS" include it doesn't mean I have to. My ROM, my rules. Use something else if you have an issue with that as you're under no obligation to use my ROM, just as I am under no obligation to add anything I don't want to. Also, there are very impressive GCAM mods (with the appropriate XMLS) for OnePlus 8 series and we now ship Aperture from LOS, which just added support for OIS as well as 4k/60fps video recording on main lens + aux lenses.

3. "What I'm saying is that this one In particular isn't stable and feature-rich enough to be a daily driver." The ROM is pretty stable and full of features, so I don't understand what made you come to that conclusion though you are entitled to your own opinion (emphasis on opinion, as it isn't factual). I believe my user count, the amount of work I put into squashing bugs & working directly with OnePlus LOS devs to fix issues in the base device trees, etc shows the complete opposite of your "opinion".

I think that it should have been the task of the developer to draw attention to the data loss here in this forum and not to expect the user to find out from other forums what the dangers of the update are!!

It was stated multiple times in both places. So

How to update firmware:
FLASHING THE WRONG DDR TYPE WILL SEMI BRICK YOUR DEVICE. THE ONLY WAY TO RECOVER FROM THIS IS BY PURCHASING AN EDL DEEP FLASH CABLE AND USING IT IN-CONJUNCTION WITH MSMTOOL!!

Method 1:
1. Check your DDR type using the following command:
adb shell getprop ro.boot.ddr_type

0 = ddr4
1 = ddr5

if getprop returns an empty value, use the following commands instead (requires root):
adb shell su cat /proc/devinfo/ddr_type
DDR4 = DDR4
DDR5 = DDR5

1. Download and flash the firmware zip that matches your device and DDR type:
8 (instantnoodle)
8 Pro (instantnoodlep)
8T (kebab)
9R (lemonades)

2. Reboot to recovery and then sideload the ROM.

Method 2
8 (instantnoodle)
8 Pro (instantnoodlep)
8T (kebab)
9R (lemonades)

Does this module work on the last build? Or is it already included?

gc5035 lens on 8 Pro has been unlocked by OPlus since OOS12. The lib in that patch is from OOS11 and will likely cause your device to bootloop if you flash it.

QPR1 (December patch) updates based on OOS13 fw/kernel/libs are out now!

8/8 Pro can be updated via OTA as we ship the full firmware package for these devices. Data format is not required for these builds.

need help, i went to update my 8 pro via ota from the 11/25 build, after rebooting it went to recovery and says "can't load android system, your data maybe corrupt", after that i tryed adb sideload and the same thing, I can't boot

my phone was rooted and i applied magisk to inactive slot like always, after the sideload attempt i didn't try to root, but still same error

edit: i tried sideloading the 11/25 build but still can't boot due to data corruption...any way to save my data?

mmmm... I've just finish the download of the OTA on the same device, from the same build... now its finalising the installation.
What do we do?

When did you format data the last time?

when I installed evo x sometime begining of november, updated to latest oos12 first and then did a clean install

Perfect. We're on the same boat... I'd better to stop the installation.
Which recovery do you have?

I didn't. But now I did. For anyone interested, I was able to recover my 8 Pro and data by installing an older version of Evolution X.

which older version?

evo x, the one that installs with the rom...i tried downgrading the recovery to 11/25 also but no luck

 

[Tins790]

Sorry but i didn't understand. I on oos12 based rom (lastest build). how update che last update? Where is the procedure? Sideload the oos13 rom and after i sideload the lastest build rom?

 

[gforceriders]

Thanks for the update AnierinB. I was able to update using Orangefox EROFS-V13.img sideloading the OOS13 firmware and then loading the Orangefox OOS13-V13.img and sideloading the latest Evo without losing any data on the 8T.

edit: nevermind

still don't know how to safe my 8 pro data
