Question Update OnePlus 10 Pro from HydrogenOS (CN) to OxygenOS (EU/GL/IN) without rooting

[zelma83]

I found a YT video in which someone changed the ROM from COLOR OS to Oxygen OS.
I didn't quite understand how he did it, but I contacted him and he was kind enough to do it for me, via Anydesk.
This is the YT video, and this is the Facebook profile.

Short description for "How to switch from ColorOS (Chinese version) to OxygenOS (IND/EU) on OnePlus 10 Pro". I did the flash under Windows 10, even if I'm usually a Linux guy...

BEFORE DOING THIS MANUAL, MAKE A BACKUP OF THE DATA OF YOUR DEVICE! Your phone will be DELETED completely!

1.)
- Download the desired ROM (Oxygen OS 12.1 A11 (IND) or Oxygen OS 12.1 A12 (EU) (Auntie Google has the answer, effective April 2022) -> extract
- download OnePlus_USB_driver.zip:
https://oneplususbdrivers.com/download-oneplus-usb-driver/ -> extract
- download Android Platform SDK:
https://www.techspot.com/downloads/downloadnow/5425/?evp=de0a68064118855fcddcc3980a2143c4&file=6062 -> extract
- download "Fastboot Enhance Tool": https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...enhance-payload-dumper-image-flasher.4310553/ -> extract
2.) First of all, disable driver signature check for Windows 10, because the OnePlus drivers are not signed (yet).
3.) After restarting Windows, install the OnePlus drivers by executing the .exe file from the extracted folder.
4.) Copy the payload.bin file from the downloaded ROM into the folder where the fastbootenhance tool is located
5.) Enable Developer Options on your phone
6.) Enter the Developer Options, enable OEM unlock and USB debugging there
7.) Now connect your OnePlus 10 Pro to your computer by a USB cable. Make sure it's started, screen unlocked and charged over 60%
8.) On your computer, open File Explorer and switch to the Android SDK folder. Click in the address line above and type CMD [Enter]. A CMD window opens in the SDK folder.
9.) In CMD, type "adb devices". A new line should appear with the encrypted name of your device. When an empty line is returned, check the driver installation. If this line returns the name, but the suffix "not allowed", you must first allow this connection ON YOUR PHONE. Disconnect and reconnect your device and confirm the popup that appears on your phone! (Best is to enable "Always allow connections from this computer"!)
10.) Now type "adb reboot bootloader" in CMD. Your telephone restarts automatically to bootloader mode. In this mode your phone should tshow you it's name and beside of some other information you don't need, that the bootloader is LOCKED.
11.) Type in CMD "adb flashing unlock [Enter]". Now your phone should restart and ask you, if you want to unlock the bootloader or do not unlock the bootloader. With the volume buttons, switch to "UNLOCK BOOTLOADER" and confirm by pressing the Power Button.
12.) After doing so, restart your phone. After rebooting, go back to CMD and type "adb reboot fastboot". Your phone now should restart to "FASTBOOTD MODE". You are asked to choose a language (I recommend english after all... ;-) )
13.) Open the "Device Manager" on your computer.
14.) If device manager shows you some unknown device like "Android: ! 'ossi'" or similar, your device is not recognized in fastbootd mode. In that case continue with pt. 15. Otherwise continue with pt. 19
15.) Right-click on the unknown Android device and choose "Update driver..." -> "Search my computer for drivers" -> "Pick from a list of available drivers on my computer"
16.) When OnePlus drivers where installed correctly some steps above, Device Manager should suggest you 3 different possible drivers. Choose "OnePlus ADB Interface Manager" and confirm your choice. Windows will warn you that a wrong choice will crash Windows. Confirm also this warning.
17.) If everything went good, the before unknown device will change to an Android ADB Interface Device. When that happend, everything is good and you're good to go on.
18.) Just to be really sure: Type in CMD again "fastboot devices" and your computer should tell you the s/n of your phone with the suffix "fastboot". This will tell you your device is recognized in fastboot mode.
19.) Start "FASTBOOTENHANCE" tool from the respective folder (Folder name "release")
20.) Now you can follow the instructiions here at pt. 8.:

How to Install Indian ROM on Chinese OnePlus 10 Pro

In this comprehensive tutorial, we will show you the detailed steps to install the Indian ROM on the Chinese OnePlus 10 Pro.

www.droidwin.com

Puuuuuuh! That was enoying..! Maybe I have missed something... If so, please tell me by PN and I will complement this manual. But at this time, I guess it should work. I did it right like that this day - and it works fine! Finally I have my foremost chinese OP10Pro with a EU ROM in (swiss) german!

And if it works just like that (after my manual), please let me know as well!

Have fun! Oliver

Oh, there's something I forgot: I had after flashing still about a dozen of chinese apps I had to delete manually. Don't be surprised by that!

Hi Friends,

Do you how to fix this pls? I stuck in this step

 

[waldoud]

Hola a todos, resulta que compre una computadora en mi pais, no venden one plus directamente, pero veo que es la version 2210 convertida a 2213, el bootloader esta desbloqueado pero desde el desarrollador no puedo cambiarlo, que deberia ¿Hago?

 

[starkooz]

never mind , I figured it out . My case is the ADB driver problem , even u unlocked the bootloader , somehow the fastbootenhance wont work correctly , strange , ... but.


C

hello sir , i am facing the exact same problem , can you please tell me how u fixed tha?

Hi, I've been registered on XDA for a while but I've never made a real post, but today I will make my contribution.

A few months ago I purchased a OnePlus 10 Pro 256/12 on famous chinese website. It's a Chinese variant (NE2210) but with an international ROM (NE2215). Works like a charm, i've updated it to OxygenOS 13 and it works fine. Only a few glitchs remain from the migration. I've decided to factory reset it with migration to NE2213 ROM (I'm from UE).

I've done it with some tutorials (developer mode, bootloader unlock, Fastboot enhanced to flash NE2213) with no issue and at the restart, bootloop at the OnePlus animation. I supposed it was related to the fact that I unlock and relock the bootloader unlock. First mistake, the phone now bootloop on formating partition...

Impossible to do anything except going in EDL mode (with vol+/vol- combinaison).

I've tried flashing plenty of ROM from any variant with plenty of version of MSMDownloadTool or Oplus Flasher. Nothing worked, I was stuck at "Authenticating" or 3% of the flashing process. Certainly a credential issue of MSMDownloadTool.
I've tried for a while and in last resort I've decided to pay someone to flash it with his version of MSMDownloadTool and working credentials.
And thanks to him, in about half a hour on TeamViewer and about 30$, my phone was unbricked but with ColorOS (It's a Chinese variant and the guy claimed that only a Chinese ROM could work).
For the record it's MinistryOfSolution. It's not an ad, if this doesn't match XDA policy a moderator can remove it, but they are quite professional.

After this rescue operation, I've chosen to get another try flashing an EU ROM on the phone with OxygenOS.
I've restart the whole process with ADB, Bootloader unlocking and Fastboot enhanced with a NE2213_C20 (Oxygen OS 13).
It works great, the phone has restarted with no issues on OxygenOS (I presume that this NE2210 phone with NE2215 Rom had an issue with GPT partinioning or a difference that I can't explain).
However, after a few hours, I figured it out that the phone wouldn't charge except on wireless charge. Besides, USB connection to PC didn't work.
I've tried to reflash NE2213_C20 (luckily, USB debugging still worked) but it was the same. Phone not charging.

I've looked on the internet, no one seemed to have the same issue. 🫤

Then I've tried to flash a Oxygen OS 12 (NE2213_11_A15) to see if the issue was still present. And that was the solution. The phone is now charging normally. Next I've made the migration OxygenOS13 (with Oxygen Updater and local update - note : If local update not present or grayed, activate Developer Mode and flush storage of "System Update" application).
Once updated, the charging still working, I factory reset it a last time and lock bootloader and everything works fine since then.

Maybe the OxygenOS 13 ROM has something missing and can't be flashed from scratch.

I hope this will help someone especially the part with the USB charge not working.

Have a nice day.

 

[dladz]

Superb first post sir..

From what you've said, it sounds like you can get into fastboot if you're not seeing crashdump on boot.

So it's recoverable.

Use fastboot enhance and you should be ok.

Actually recovery should be available in all honesty.


Edit: posted this before I got to the bottom of your post.

 

[VStax]

I hope this will help someone especially the part with the USB charge not working.

... and I just had to register to thank you for your information!

I've bought my 10 pro today - also 256/12 NE2210 model - from the shop that sells CN ones reflashed to OxygenOS (for a small extra over unflashed CN ones) and it wouldn't charge from the start (it had OxygenOS 13). I've returned it to the shop, and they were puzzled as they tried several other 10 pro's and they all had the same issue. Yet they claim that it didn't happen with the old firmware. They asked to give them one day to try to figure it out... and as I returned home, I found your post.

So you are not alone, and the problem is definitely real when flashing OxygenOS 13 over ColorOS. I've shared your solution with them and hope that use it to fix it and pick the working phone from them. Thanks tons!!! And interesting insight about wireless charging, I didn't get to try that (just multiple chargers and cables).

[slapman]

This worked for me! Thanks very much.
After installing EU firmware, I factory reset the phone but Google Pay wont work saying the phone is rooted but when I launch Root Checker, it says ' Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device'

Is the root broken? Do I need to root again? Any ideas how to fix?

Just by unlocking the bootloader doesn't mean it's rooted it gives you the ability to root for that you need to install Magisk. You extract the boot.img from your firmware there are information on how to to do this on the OnePlus 10 Pro forum or on YouTube. After extraction you need to patch the boot.img with Magisk and then flash the magisk_patched.img on your PC. All this is found by looking in Google or on the XDA forum.

Really ..you thought once boot loader unlocked...you are rooted..no means you have root privileges

Not quite, you still need to do extra step to actually get root - nowadays most practical being installing Magisk and patching boot.img. That gives applications ability to use root (and also hide root from bank applications etc thanks to plugin that does that).

Google pay and other applications react on unlocked phone, saying that it's rooted just to simplify things. In modern world, having root without unlocking bootloader is very rare (it was possible in the past through exploits). They actually want to say "your device security is compromised and you can be hacked etc and someone will steal your money (and they are right, unlocked phone is unprotected in the hands of malicious person)". But simplify it a bit.
