When can i use twrp oneplus 8 pro Android 11 ?Things are changing with the advent of project treble and seamless updates. OnePlus will no longer release ROMs flashable via recovery (either stock) because is no more needed. The updates will be done on the slot not used for example if you are using slot a the update will be installed on slot b and the slot b will be set as default. If you brick and you are in bootloop how you can restore the rom? You can't with Stock ROM you have, because the zip can be only installed via Update Engine, so what can you do? Flash a stock rom via fastboot. I have extracted all images from the stock zip and i have made a new zip with the Fastboot ROM with a flash-all.bat included. This will work only if your bootloader is unlocked. This will erase all your data and will wipe your internal storage.
HOW TO FLASH
This version is only for not branded devices
Download the zip;
Unpack the zip in a folder;
Reboot the OnePlus 8 Pro in fastboot-bootloader mode (Power and volume + and volume-);
Connect the OnePlus 8 Pro to PC;
Run flash-all.bat flasher you need;
Wait until the process end;
The phone will automatically reboot.
DOWNLOAD
All roms on Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/fastbootroms/files/OnePlus 8 Pro
BRANDED PHONE
For now branded device are not supported
MANUAL FLASH: Windows - OSX - Linux
If you want to manual flash these roms these are the commands (You need the latest sdk platform tools, you can find it here
REMEMBER
"Invalid sparce file format at header magic" is not an error, you need to wait a bit when you see that string, just wait.
If the device automatically reboot in Stock Recovery mode don't reboot it and wait the flash end.
These ROMs can't be used to update or downgrade your phone but just to restore your phone.
If the rom seems doesn't start go in recovery stock and follow this guideline: English -> Wipe data and cache -> Erase everything.

[ROM][STOCK][FASTBOOT][OP8P] Stock Fastboot ROMs for OnePlus 8 Pro
- Thread starter mauronofrio
- Start date
- Status
Before I try this, is there an issue restoring from LineageOS? I have a new OnePlus 8 Pro. I installed LineageOS 18.1 right away to "De-google" and quickly found that they have us by the b411s, so much did not work, biggest of all location.
So, I give up, I want to just stick with stock.
Originally I followed this guide:
www.thecustomdroid.com
But got the latest OOS 11 ROM directly from a OnePlus page. Flashed all manually though like that guide.
I was in a panic! First time all flashes worked, but no boot. Just kept booting to fastboot.
Then I tried to start the process with OOS 10 (manual again) but I got stuck half way through. I got the reboot and I got Qualcom crash screens, can't write to critical, etc. I thought I was toast.
By doing some combo of flashing portions I was able to re-flash LineageOS and get my phone back up!
Great. But, i still would like to just go back to OOS (stock). Will this one be different? Running flash_all.bat and using this package? Thinking I just used a wrong combo of stuff but I want to be sure it isn't something LineageOS did that has me "stuck" now before I get it all messed up for hours again. Thanks!
UPDATE: So, this isn't actually a "stock" rom? I'm trying to get this thing back to stock.
Anyways, I went ahead and tried this. Same issue as when I tried the other method. Ran flash_all.bat, everything went smoothly to the end, no errors, but phone would not boot, just reboot to fastboot. Powering off and back on, still always fastboot. So, I 'm on LineageOS, again, just to have communication for now. I can not figure out how to return to stock OOS!!
So, I give up, I want to just stick with stock.

Sounds like you need to use the MSM dowload tool which will rescue any OP8 from anything. I once screwed my OP8P up so bad, I could not even get to the recovery or bootloader. I was able to bring it back to life with the MSM tool. Just google "MSM tool for OP8 pro" and click on the XDA link to get it with info.Before I try this, is there an issue restoring from LineageOS?

I am in the same boat! It just boots to fastboot i do have stock recovery as well but cant get anything to boot and the msm tool dont work because i cant get it to go into qualcom mode or whatever..... please help!
Try starting the MSM program as far as you can go. It will be sitting looking for your phone to get into Qualcom EDL mode. It is hard to do from windows 10 and Powershell. I have found the best is to hard reset from locked dump screen and when you see MSM program grabinng, click the start button ASAP. It is much easier on a windows 7 machine if you have one around.
If you can get into Recovery & the bootloader you should be able to use a fastboot rom. Get the android 10 version though, since I have never gotten the android 11 version to work. You can get them here... https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...tock-fastboot-roms-for-oneplus-8-pro.4083997/. That will get you up and running quite easily.
Hi guys,
I read the whole tread and I am curious if you could help me out. My phone bricked after trying to flash a custom rom. I have access to fastboot mode and TWRP. I am operating a linux machine and have windows10 running in virtualbox. I don't know if this is the reason I can not install the correct qualcomm drivers to windows but I get the error that it is not compatible. I am sure I tried to install the correct one. Because of this I can not use the MSM tool to get my phone up and running. It simply does not pop up as a qualcomm device in devicemanager when I reboot in EDL mode.
I tried to flash the fastbootrom for my oneplus8 pro but after the last command it restarts and gets into stock recovery. There is no option available to wipe data and cache/ erase everything. I can only choose to reboot to recovery. Then my phone powers off. The other option is to reboot into fastbootmode. When I do that there is an error in the command window FAILED Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions. I don't know how to fix this. I tried both Linux to flash the fastboot rom manually and in windows also and with the flash-all.bat file. Everytime I end up in fastboot mode when I boot up my phone.
Is there a solution available to get my phone up and running?

I think that I can not flash the fastbootrom because of this two issues:
target reported max download size of 805306368 bytes
and
FAILED (remote: Partition not found)
Do you guys know where these issues come from and how to fix this? I have been searching the forum and the web but I can not find a solution for fixing the problem.
I ran into the same issue when trying to flash OOS after a failed OTA update. I ended up using the Evolution-X Fastboot ROMinstaller from the Evolution-X thread and everything worked. Instead of using the .img files from the Evolution-X rom, I used the .img files from the OOS rom I downloaded and copied them into the fastboot_installer folder then ran the ROMInstaller.bat file.
After that finished I was in the stock recovery, and just rebooted and the rom loaded up.
Edit to add that I am using a OnePlus 8T, so I got the Evolution-X Fastboot ROMinstaller link from the 8T rom threads, but whatever fastboot/adb version it comes with works for flashing the .img files you need without running into errors.

Thanx for your help raptor7056.
I read in the thread ' Download Evolution-X Fastboot ROMinstaller ( These zip have both payload_dumper and fastboot_installer ) and extract it's zip'
I dowloaded via the download-link and extracted the file. I do not see fastboot_installer in the folder. Am I doing something wrong?
I downloaded multiple zips from the webpage and extracted the files and in none of them I see fastboot_installer in the extracted folder.
The link to the installer zip file is in the 2nd post of the thread at the bottom of the changelog. It's on there as an attachment
Edit to add the link https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/evolution-x-fastboot-rominstaller-zip.5287309/
Hi raptor7056,
I have a question about copying the files from the fastbootrom (OOS) to the fastboot-installer folder. The files have the same name in both folders. What do I need to do with these files when the notification pops up?
Do I need to replace the files in the fastboot-installer folder for the files from the fastbootrom? When I do that I also replace the flash-all.bat file and I have an issue with installing the fastbootrom this way. Are there specific files I need to copy and files I can skip?
I only copied in the .img files from the OOS rom into the fastboot-installer folder. Then I ran the ROMInstaller.bat file.
It basically just runs the following commands
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot flash odm odm.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash system_ext system_ext.img
fastboot flash product product.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
But doing it this way I didn't get the FAILED (remote: Partition not found) error message and everything flashed successfully.
Thanx friend.
I am going to try it this weekend. Fingers crossed
Have a great weekend. I put an update in this thread later.
Hi raptor7056,Thanx friend.
I am going to try it this weekend. Fingers crossed
Have a great weekend. I put an update in this thread later.
I tried to flash the firmware but it did not work:
The device did not reboot into fastboot but in stock recovery. When I choose Reboot to fastboot in the recovery menu the process continues in the rominstaller:
When I restart the device it boots up into fastbootmode. I do not know what the problem is. Are there alternatives that can help me to flash a ROM? I am open to all sugestions.

10I want to thank all those who supported me, in 2 days I have already managed to buy the OnePlus 8 Pro, I will receive it in about a week and then I will immediately get to work. I will remove the link of the Paypal moneybox and let it close by itself so as to keep it in the historical (it will close tomorrow). A big thank you to everyone.2
As i told you privately the chinese TWRP is breaking TWRP gpl license and it has nothing to do with TWRP, it is wrong to even call it TWRP.
However yes, super can be mounted, decryption is a working in progress, the .zip flash was never tried for now, maybe some months it will be ready2This is awesome, my OP8P is not even here yet and development is moving forward nicely.

As I understand this, this is for the European version so far and not the US version, correct?
