My OnePlus 8T seems like it doesnt want to update OTA anymore.
Its downloading the OTA file Evolution_kebab-ota-tp1a.220905.004.a2-09192234-unsigned.zip
When i press install it sates installing and then quickly jumps to Install error.
Not sure where to look why its failing.
Looking at the installation build number it show evolution_kebab-userdebug 13 TP1A.220905.0041662933933 release keys.
Where/how can i find the reason why the update is failing?

Try fastboot getvar all in cmd or Powershell with the phone in bootloader
For me, it does not show anything that resembles firmware version C33, although I followed the wiki to flash to C33 and now C35.

Any ideas on which variable we are looking for? Post your output for reference.
Code:
$ fastboot getvar all 2>&1 | grep -i version
(bootloader) version-vndk:33
(bootloader) version-os:13
(bootloader) version:0.4
(bootloader) version-baseband:
(bootloader) version-bootloader:unknown

I have not installed a custom ROM in years. I want to do this to my OP8P global that is on stock 12.1 C.33. With stock ROMs I need to root with Magisk.

I still want root to use my CallRecorder app and Vanced for YouTube and a few other apps that need root. Is this from pre-rooted, or do I have to root it afterward as I do stock ROM?

I could not find an answer in the OP wanted to ask before I attempt to install it since it's been a long time.

No, it's not pre rooted. It has work around so that it passes SafetyNet out of the box, but it's not rooted.

Just follow all the steps outlined here and you'll be fine. Coming from vanilla oos is pretty straight forward if you just follow the steps 1 by 1.

Thx, havent seen that before.
Will update recovery and clean install
TBH, I had trouble when trying to update to the latest builds - couldn't get past booting into fastboot or recovery. But, I hadn't cleaned flashed since A12 versions so no idea what was hanging around. So since I was going to have to clean flash anyway, I MSMed back to OOS11, flashed to C33 and then clean installed the latest EvoX. Didn't take very long and meant a nice clean start.

I have done the entire MSM procedure not that long ago, so i dont think its needed.
Will do factory reset though.
So flash new recovery, sideload the latest rom and then factory reset, should be fine i hope.

I successfully installed this rom today on my OP8P after years of not having a custom ROM and just on stock OOS. Thx for the clean instructions.

OTA for this rom. When the OP makes an update, I assume I will get a specific update for this rom. I have Magisk installed using the factory OOS I would need to flash the boot.img before rebooting to keep root.

Will I need to do that here after doing an OTA update....will I need to sideload Magisk or re-root again after an update?

Thx

    to install additional packages,you need to reboot recovery first do you want to reboot to recovery now? NO YES, on my device this comes and cmd stuck at 47% from last 30 minutes. i pressed NO and it is installed. if someone have the same issue.
    Having the adb sideload command show 47% complete is normal (happens on all custom ROM installs). As long as you get to the reboot to recovery option as you described, you should be fine.

    You tell me :cool:

    DO NOT FLASH GAPPS, ALREADY INCLUDED

    VvzRh0K.png

    DO NOT flash instantnoodlep (8 Pro) on instantnoodle (8) or vice versa, else you 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.

    First Time Install (8 & 8 Pro)
    1. Be on any version of OOS12 or OOS13 (OOS 13.1.0.582(EX01) firmware is included in these builds)
    2. Download vbmeta, recovery, and rom for your device from here
    3. Reboot to bootloader
    4. fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
    fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
    fastboot reboot recovery
    5. While in recovery, navigate to Apply update -> Apply from ADB
    6. adb sideload rom.zip (replace "rom" with actual filename)
    7. Format data, reboot to system & #KeepEvolving

    First Time Install (8T & 9R)
    1. Be on the latest OOS13 (OOS 13.1.0.582(EX01) for 8T & OOS 13.1.0.583(EX01) for 9R)
    2. Download copy_partitions, vbmeta, recovery, and rom for your device from here
    3. Reboot to bootloader
    4.fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
    fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
    fastboot reboot recovery
    5. While in recovery, navigate to Apply update -> Apply from ADB
    6. adb sideload copy_partitions.zip (press "yes" when signature verification fails) and then reboot to recovery
    7. Repeat step 5 and adb sideload rom.zip (replace "rom" with actual filename)
    8. Format data, reboot to system & #KeepEvolving

    Update (8, 8 Pro, 8T & 9R)
    1. Reboot to recovery
    2. While in recovery, navigate to Apply update -> Apply from ADB
    3. adb sideload rom.zip (replace "rom" with actual filename)
    4. Reboot to system & #KeepEvolving

    OTA

    1. Check for update. If available, select "Download and install" (approx 10-15 min)
    2. Reboot & #KeepEvolving

    Firmware Update (8, 8 Pro, 8T & 9R)

    Commonly asked questions & answers:

    Q: Why am I getting "error cannot read" while attempting to sideload the ROM
    Well, you should be using the latest platform-tools and have it added to PATH. A lot of unofficial drivers floating around on the internet install outdated adb/fastboot along with the drivers. Please refrain from installing these as well as minimal adb & fastboot; Use the official google driver and official platform-tools instead.

    Alternatively you can prefix each adb/fastboot cmd with ./ while in the platform-tools folder via powershell or bash, etc.

    For example:
    ./adb sideload ./rom.zip

    This basically tells the shell "Hey, I want to execute this local binary rather than the one in PATH".

    Q: I'm a windows user and my device is not being listed when I run adb/fastboot devices. I'm using the latest platform-tools, what could be the reason for this?


    Q: I'm a linux user and my device is not being listed when I run adb/fastboot devices. I'm using the latest platform-tools, what could be the reason for this?

    Q: Why is MTP and/or Android Auto not working?
    Set the default USB configuration in Settings > The Evolver > Miscellaneous > USB Configuration

    Don't see your question? Well, feel free to post a comment in this thread, we will reply as soon as we can. We'd appreciate if users used XDA FIRST and the telegram group as a LAST RESORT.

    To be continued (I'm sure).

    Firmware update:

    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!!
    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.

    Custom Kernels:

    Custom kernels may be flashed at YOUR OWN RISK. However, we will not provide extended support regarding such and it is up to YOU, the end user to make your reports in the appropriate thread for X kernel, not in this thread.

    Obtaining root:
    Let it be known that we will not assist anyone with bug reports until they have disabled all modules and restored to the default, unpatched kernel that is shipped with the ROM!

    Root can be obtained by either one of the following methods.

    1. Download the Magisk.apk on your pc (you can change the file extension to .zip if you wish, though it is not required).
    2. Reboot to recovery
    3. Navigate to Apply update -> Apply from ADB
    4. adb sideload magisk.apk (replace "magisk" with actual filename)
    1. Download the full rom.zip from post #2 of this thread
    2. Download payload-dumper-go that corresponds to the architecture of your pc
    3. Run payload-dumper-go against the rom.zip
    4. Grab boot.img from the extracted folder and transfer it to your device
    5. Patch the boot.img with the magisk application and transfer the patched image to your pc
    6. Reboot to bootloader
    7. fastboot flash boot boot.img (replace "boot" with actual filename)

    Retaining root across OTA updates:
    When an OTA update is available, let it download and install. Before rebooting simply open Magisk Manager and click on the first "install" button and select "install to inactive slot". Once it's done, reboot and enjoy.

    Reporting bugs and submitting logs:

    In most cases logs should be provided when reporting bugs. This can be done by enabling USB debugging in developer options of the device, connecting it to your PC and running one of the following cmds depending on the type of bug/issue while reproducing it:

    General system log
    adb logcat > logcat.txt

    Kernel log
    adb shell su -c dmesg > dmesg.log

    Please provide a detailed description of the bug/issue as well as link/upload the log you had taken.
    There are exceptions to this as some issues are unable to be caught in logs. In this case, it is expected that users provide clear and accurate steps to reproduce the issue.

    Getting involved in the development:

    We've set everything up in such a way where all you need to do is install AOSP build dependencies, initialize a repo client, init the tiramisu branch of our manifest, sync the code and lunch your device (e.g lunch evolution_instantnoodlep-userdebug); Roomservice will automatically sync all device specific dependencies for you to compile without error. There is no need to manually clone anything due to this and applies to OnePlus 6, 6T, 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro, 8, 8 Pro, 8T, 9R, 9 & 9 Pro (enchilada, fajita, guacamoleb, guacamole, hotdogb, hotdog, instantnoodle, instantnoodlep, kebab, lemonades, lemonade & lemonadep).

    Device and ROM source changes can be submitted on github to the appropriate repositories by making pull requests via comparing forks. Please follow the google patch format for commits and triple check your changes by compile testing and verifying they're correct. Please retain proper authorship if you are not the author!

    Not sure why you sound so bitter. Everyone makes his own choices, however one can't deny the reality - the stock OS is better at this point of time than any other ROM.

    I've seen people updating to the latest build of Evo and their data wiped without warning. The developer didn't say a word of precaution in this forum that the users data would be wiped upon the update. That's a critical oversight and logcats will not help getting your data back.

    I won't say anything about other issues I encountered myself. I mentioned them earlier in this forum thread but never got any reply.

    While the sixth version of EvoX (Android 12), which was based on OOS 11 worked quite well (I was very happy with it at some point), everything went downhill when the base was changed to OOS 12, including the newly-introduced absence of OOS cam.

    OnePlus 8 Pro can make some beautiful videos with hyperstabilization, which no other camera applications are capable of. However, the developer straight up said he will never add the native camera back. I understand that quite a number of people couldn't care less about OOS cam, but for many that's something that would prevent from using this ROM.

    Some other Android 13-based custom ROMs for OnePlus 8 series do have OOS cam, which means that the absence of it in EvoX isn't a result of a technical limitation, but rather a result of the developer's unexplained reluctance to implement the feature.

    Everyone has their own views and this is mine. I do understand that all of these custom ROMs are provided for free and on "as is" basis. What I'm saying is that this one In particular isn't stable and feature-rich enough to be a daily driver.
    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".
