###########################################################################################Use this to spread awareness to the dead OnePlus phones, cause of death: flashing official firmware file from official OnePlus
###########################################################################################
wont ever buy a oneplus phone after 7, using my old but gold oneplus 3 now
lighting up candles for them 🕯🕯🕯
[One Plus 8, One Plus 8 Pro, One Plus 8T]
1. As i see, most of cases were caused by flashing (in fact official) files through fastboot mode.
2. Probably, but i can be wrong, it's flashing through some... tools like all-in-one tool OR without awareness that there are xbl files for DDR4 and DDR5. On this forum there's topic where one smart guy wrote all things which users should know before flashing. YES, i know that putting in one package two versions of xbl file is stupid move...
3. I unpacked OOS13 Beta and i saw, that there's no more two versions of xbl files, so from OOS13 this problem shouldn't exist (atleast i hope).
true.. but i was using a simple fastboot flash from a tutorial from xda which i thought to be way safer than flashing hard-style with MSM tool
i even rant out and offended anyone replying to me, im so fckd up like that.. sorry "Nimueh" if you reading this, my appologies, its just that i paid much money on this phone, am experienced with flashing and never would have guessed an issue like that
Like i said before. This is known. Which will not help dead devices i know.
Its a shame that this can happen. Anyway lets keep the forums clean and push deadicated threads with all the infomation instread of opening new ones.
[GUIDE] How to Avoid Killing Your OnePlus 8 Pro / 8T / 9R with OxygenOS 12 / ColorOS 12
As You can see, recently we started seeing more and more threads complaining about OxygenOS 12 killing people's devices. I lost my 8 Pro the same way few months ago and we finally know what caused this! ANSWER - THE BOOTLOADER! Massive Update...

We had other threads here talking about this issue a lot. I would be very happy if you could solve this issue. But the problem is not the we cant enter EDL Mode, the problem is that your RAM is dead. You wont fix a piston seizure with jump start spray.

As wrote on another thread, there is no proof that ram is dead, my guess is that flashing wrong xbl, ram can't be intialized and the phone won't start. On telegram i read that someone with 8t could enter edl mode by shorting test pins on Mobo and recovered his 8t. Some Chinese guy used engeering cable to enter edl.

and thats why this thread stays for further clarification, no matter how hard one wants to have it closed
+ the thread that lead to this issue, yes i mean the one where it is explained how to flash stock rom through adb and fastboot, is closed for commenting guess because many people encontered this isse
than again, why is it closed so nobody can see that this method can lead to death, thus resulting in countless dead phones where one cant even complain at the thread that lead his phone to death

I read a lot about potential methods to unbrick but for 6 months we dont have anything that works and nobody proofed that he unbricked his device. The only reasons i am against another and another thread is that we loose calrity and that you give people false hope.

I dont "want" you thread to be closed i state my opinion, we need to have clarity on this topic and not a lot of useless information aside from "dont brick you device by flashing the wrong image". At least as long we dont have anything that helps.
The main thread that i post everytime i give flashing advice is still alive:

It should be the first sticky in every forum for each device that is affected.
Threads without the advice should be closed or the first post should be the advice on "how to not kill your device".
As i said, dont give people false hope. Like the chinese dude etc.
This problem is known for nearly 7 months and we would already know if there is something to do about it.

I've tried posting this in MIUI forums and haven't gotten any replies. I'll try my luck with XDA.
How do you correctly identify Redmi 2?
I've got a RM2 that has the 2014811 variant when I check it onscreen.. But I'm skeptic that it's correct. All I know is 2014811 is suppose to be a normal Redmi 2 with 1 gigs of RAM and 8 gigs of ROM. But mine's a 2 gigs RAM & 16 gigs ROM. If I'm correct, with specs like those, my RM2 is suppose to be a RM2 enchanced variant (Pro, Prime, etc). What I can't figure out is which variant is it that I'm dealing with. Another thing that I know is that the RM2 version of mine isn't the global one because I didn't buy it from an official shop, I bought it from an external distributor. The RM 2 box is written in chinese and the characters underneath the battery are full chinese (except for the S/N and IMEI). Is my RM 2 a 2014818 or 2014819? How can I find out which variant is it that I have with me.
Thank you.
2014819- Brazilian variants
2014818- Redmi 2 prime variation of 2014811

Guys thanks for your replies. After intensive research, I have concluded that: yes, my device is totally a WT88047 - HM201411 - HM 2 LTE-CU (China Unicom) variant. But now I've found out something else that's got me hooked up on finding out. I'm using latest stable stock rom (MIUI 8 - 8.2.1.0), and I checked out my Mi-Account menu in settings, snooped down to devices and... My RM2P is named Redmi 2W..... So... What the heck is Redmi 2W? I've been searching here and there with no luck on finding out what a Redmi 2W is (Haven't checked the chinese sites though). Does anyone know what it is?

Just take a backup your current ROM by t.w.r.p before flashing ROM(if something goes wrong).

I've got: touchscreen issues, wake up issues, twrp issues, kernel issues and proximity issues. I'm guessing even if I tell you what I'm experiencing, you won't be able to find a solution for it (please don't say I've got defective hardware, because I don't. Why? Because 3 of my friends bought the same device as mine, in the same online shop and all of them have the same issues). But even so I'll just post all of em and cross my fingers:
TWRP's bugged, needs to timeout (screen off) first before I'm able to responsively use it (touchscreen bugged, tried all latest TWRP versions, including kumajaya's old twrp builds. Touchscreen does work on several 2.8.7.0 and below versions for KK bootloader).
Any custom rom I've flashed will always face lockscreen issues (waking up device using power button leads to unresponsive and un-swipe-able touchscreen, that means I can't unlock my device, seems like it has to do with with proximity too, and please don't ask me about gestures and modified navigation buttons, because I don't use them at all: dt2w, s2w, etc).
Any custom kernel used will always lead to device not being able to wake up (pressing power button doesn't wake up the screen, stays black, have to reset device by force, still happens even though I'm using stock CPU govs *interactive* and I/O scheds *noop* not using hotplugs, doesn't change anything)
I still even face all those problems in Stock MIUI (KK or LP.. 7, 8)
Try downloading china developer ROM? Yeah. I've done that.. Even went to the Chinese download page of miui to download the exact recommended MIUI 8 C-Dev ROM for my HM 2 LTE-CU variant, and still the same bugs occur.
Xposed? I've experimented using stock and custom roms (below API 24) that are Un-Xposed. They still exhibit the same problems as above.
Clean flash dirty flash? I totally understand what those are.
Wipe dalvik cache and cache.. Don't even dare ask about those.
Fix Permissions? Yeah.. It didnt make a difference..
Post dmseg and logcats? Trust me, you devs will probably mark my device as a different type of WT8847 (and by saying that means even if you succeed to find the problems, to fix them means you gotta totally change the 'insides' of roms and stuff to make it compatible with mine. It'll probably be a waste of time if I post those 2 guys here.
Can you help me, bro?

Yeah, I know where you're getting at bro. Let me ask you this, does it not annoy you to death when you're restoring the same backup ROMs frequently just because suddenly your device can't use wi-fi (bugged) or tether, or maybe one of the issues above occur and you just gotta try your best to keep it 'clean'.. again.. and again.. and again? I just need a damn good daily driver without issues for crying out loud :cyclops:

that's all are happening 'cause of source code modification of lineage from cyanogen which caused your device unfavorable base code modification, only thing can be done is flash stock rom, bootloader, recovery, modem, everything using fastboot.

So in other words "bye-bye" to custom roms right? I'm in latest stable global miui 8 btw (LP), I clean flashed it via download mode, those problems still show up though. Okay let me just try to flash miui via fastboot or download mode again.

Are You Like Me?
Have you remained Vigilant.. and kept your 7x a Virgin?
Untouched by the rough hands of another country's software.. resisting the unwanted pressures of your peers to unlock your chastity belt.. (A.K.A.) your bootloader.. to give in to what's been described as plethora of pleasure known as:
TWRP.. Root.. ROM's ( As Unstable As They Currently Are On The 7x )
Well..
I'm happy to say Gratification is just around the corner..
U.S.A. Variants ( BND-24) Versions of the 7x will recieve the "OFFICIAL AND 100% STABLE" release of EMUI / OREO 8.0 within the next 72 hours of this writing via an O.T.A. update from Honor.
I'm So Glad I Stayed Locked & Stock
Congratulations Honor!

Unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do with taking ota, flashing a custom recovery does. People that rooted would have problems with taking the ota.

I just got this device. I was on here seeing if theres a way to unlock bootloader and return to factory later. Because I knew the Oreo was coming soon. That's great news. I thought it was coming in May. So I'll just chill and wait for ota for now. Will honor come through when it comes to letting us unlock out bootloader that is the question. Or are they just working on updating a faster bootloader unlock process for us?

LEAVE IT STOCK.
Take A Look Around The Threads..
Look at how many have bricked their 7x's
In Such A Hurry To Root... For What?
There Is Not A Stable Fully Functional Custom ROM Out There For The 7x.
There Are NO United States Of America FACTORY IMAGES Out There For The 7x.
You can eh.... Flash a Stock ROM from another country At Your Own Risk Of Course.
Have you stopped to ask yourself.. why Honor has not released Factory Images for this device.. that was announced in October of 2017 and released December 7th 2017 ?
People are actually PAYING services out there to recover their 7x's.... because they go down the rabbit hole and can't get out.
How Sad Is That...
You Were Wise To Stay Locked & Stock.. :good:
In about 60 hours you'll get your payoff..
Wait until Decryption is resolved before you Root.
Wait until a U.S.A. Factory Image is released before you Root.
You Can Do Everything With A STOCK 7x That You Can Do With A Rooted 7x
You don't need backups.... STOCK ROM'S DON'T CRASH... AND "FACTORY RESET IS YOUR BACKUP" when you don't root.

I did, so I don't have to lose my data once factory images are available and I decide to root it in the future.
Yeah exactly the same reason as the post above mine. I unlocked the bootloader the day I got the phone so that way when the time comes to do any rooting or modding I wouldn't have to wipe my phone and lose everything. And I've still received all the ota updates on the L24 thus far with the unlocked bootloader.

It's A Logical Path To Pursue...
I have NO FAITH in Honor releasing Factory Images in the near future.
I think there is a "Method Behind The Madness"
Personally, my Android Data is all backed up in 2 places.. and it's all Android - Centric
I would NEVER do ANY personal business (Banking , Shopping Etc) on any Android device.
Especially an HUAWEI / HONOR device.. for all the reasons my Government has stated.
This is not a "Long-Term" solution phone for me personally.. It will be sold.. actually it would have already been sold, but I had $900.00 vehicle repair snatch my OnePlus 6 money right out of my hands..
This device was a Failure as far as gaining Developer support...
No Custom Kernels: "Franco's Kernel" oh if only... ( So why root.. You can't under / overvolt, swap governers, add features etc )
Even though Kernel Source was released 5 months ago.
It appears... Treble Ports are the way of the Future. I'm not complaining just stating facts.. ( I guess if I loved the 7x that much I would learn how to pack a Kernel for myself and use it..) but I don't love the 7x and it's Kirin Technology enough to do so.
This device will just never gain ground or love.. is hated by my government.. has the Un-popular ( For Developer's ) Kirin Processor and a weak GPu.
What it does have is Oreo 8.0 and Project Treble Support baked in.
Let's keep it shinny and in "Like-New" condition.. Pure Stock ( No Warning! Screens NEVER Modified in any way ) and ready to sell...
That's The Ticket.
So I'm unlocked rooted and running TWRP on my l24 does that mean I miss out on emui 8 or are there any Solutions

That's The Ticket.

How long you think it'll take for treble to be active for this device? I'm considering updating to the beta so I can then use the RR rom but whats the point if I can just wait a few days to get official Oreo and then be all in with treble. I guess I don't fully understand what treble is nor it's immediate relation to this device.

Treble will help get custom ROMs on our device faster. Just wait for official Oreo. Than we unlock bootloader. Wait for updated twrp with Oreo support. Than custom ROMs. Than would need treble support twrp. So we still have a ways to go for treble and custom ROMs. But we're getting close.

This is a simplified explanation of how Treble works, or at least my simple understanding of it. Google requires any device shipping with Oreo to have the main OS reside in its own partition separate from the OEM vender stuff.
Is no one else going to comment on how crazy this guy is?
Why Wait ?

Listen... You Don't Need To Wait For Anything...
I MAY BE 100% INCORRECT.. BUT, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT HUAWEI / HONOR HAS STOPPED THE ABILITY TO RETREIVE YOUR UNLOCK CODE (OFFICIALLY) FROM THEIR WEBSITE.
If True...
Do you know what that means?
It means... they MAY NOT enable the Vendor Partition in the OFFICIAL ( O.T.A. ) version of Oreo / EMUI 8.0 that will be released in about 48 hours from the time of this writing.
Without That Partition.... Project Treble is a NO GO.
In your case.. If all you want to do is run the ROM you mentioned, just use the Bootleg Method posted elsewhere in these threads to Unlock your bootloader.. Install one of these Unofficial TWRP's floating around... and install your ROM.
Done.
Why Wait?
For the Official Release of Oreo on Monday when all you are going to do is Overwrite it with a ROM posted elsewhere?
Sounds Like You Know What You Want...
Go For It.
Stock Oreo has NOTHING OF INTEREST for those that just want to flash Beta ROM's
Stock Oreo / EMUI 8.0 is for those of us that put 100% Stability and FULL Functionality First & Foremost..
I paid 100% of the Price for this Device.
I Personally.. Want 100% OF THE DEVICE'S SOFTWARE & FEATURES FUNCTIONAL...
At this point in the 7x's development... Only Stock EMUI provides that level of performance.

If I Handled My Personal Business On A Cell Phone... I'd Be Concerned Too...
If all you have are Android Apps.... who cares.
That's a PERSONAL CHOICE as to how much of your life you trust to divulge to your cellular devices.
And Yeah... as far as features an the ability to Customize a Pure Stock device, EMUI Kicks Ass and Takes Names :good:
And it's Soooooo Stable and Smooth.. and has 10 TIMES the Developer Support for Customization of what you ACTUALLY interact with.. than those who worry about what the Developer - Unfriendly Kirin Engine is doing.
It Cracks Me Up how many have went Ape S*it trying to Root and have bricked.. then are like OH MY GOD! HELP ME!
Leave the Damn thing "STOCK" until the day you have REAL REGIONAL FIRMWARE available to you.. To Fix Your Boo-Boos.. And leave all these BOOTLEG methods starting to pop up left and right alone.

Hey Ahmad...
Here is a way to avoid seeing my emo's
I ONLY POST IN "MY THREADS" WHEN IT COMES TO THE 7X... THERE IS NOTHING ELSE OF RELEVANCE HERE ANYMORE EVEN WORTHY OF MY TIME..
I'm sick of seeing " Help Me! My 7x has fallen and can't get up! " threads.
So you pretty much will not see RAIDERWILL & HIS EMO'S anywhere but in a thread he created.
SO AHMAD... JUST STAY AWAY FROM "A-N-Y" RAIDERWILL THREADS.... AND YOU'LL BE GOOD-TO-GO.
Why?

Monorail ? :laugh: You Have A Singular Wit.
If I'm insane.... Then Why Are You Reading The Comments Of A Madman?
Have You Asked Yourself that mono....
I Don't Know.... Over 1/2 of all the comments I've ever made on XDA have been "Thanked" for being useful or insightful.
But... since you're *Correct* in your assessment of RAIDERWILL... I guess the 500 or so others were either just as insane as RAIDERWILL for giving him Acknowledgment with a " Thanks! " or simply don't possess your keen insight...
Or... could it be that.. ANYONE on this rock we refer to as Earth.. that has the Unmitigated Gall to Disagree with YOU Monorail should be Hanged, Drawn and Quartered !!! :laugh:
Pssssst.... Hey You...... Over Here.. I'm going to tell you a secret to help ease your Ailment...

Hi all,
I'm new on the forum, so apologies if this is posted on the wrong section.
I've got the op6T since it came out in November and have not upgraded OS since 9.0.5 - as I read many stories of battery drainage and other issues. My Question is - is there a way for me to take an image of my entire phone in the current state - before I jump to 9.0.11?
I'd like to be able to restore to this state, in case future updates cause any stability issues.
Would be grateful for any suggestions/advice on how to make an entire phone image.
Thanks guys!

This is clearly in wrong section, ask a Mod to put it in Questions and Answers....
I suggest to no rely on the few reports of issues to refrain update... Especially battery drain which is most of the time due to an individual config / usage
Just update
There is no easy way to take an image as you ask, as update also changes hidden partitions...
You can install TWRP (won't help you there, there are threads for that) and backup everything (just prefer the ***_image entries to the non _image ones). Then update and see what happens (update with TWRP, full OTA zip). In case of issues restore from TWRP.
99.99% of users must have updated now to. 11 if there was so many issues the threads would have been flooded...
Pretty self-explanatory, tried to get treble working on my phone but I ****ed it up, been looking up guides all over the site, mostly from CosmicDan but can quite fix it, my best guess is that the persist partition is broken, but since I ****ed my phone so much I thought I rather get advice before I end up bricking my phone.
Any relevant info is appreciated, also I will gladly submit any information needed, just specify how, my last phone was an LG g3 beat so I'm quite outdated on this.
Ohh! Flasing stock mi a1 rom fix this issue? it has everything including presist.img. Sorry im not sure never been in this situation
Messing up the persist is bad because you can't just flash the stock rom and fix things and theres bad threads and info which get repeated. After the Pie update, the rom should not be rolled back to Oreo/Nougat.
Im a OP 8 Pro user coming from oppo find x2 pro , and im having a lot of issues with the new software , no notification badges appearing at all no matter what settings are applied , non customizable AOD , No Themes , Heavy power saving , all of that are ruining the experience to me , it was more comfortable with Color OS on my Oppo , so is there any way to install it instead of Oxygen OS?
i would suggest going back to oos11.

How to do so? And will it feel old to have 11 instead of 12? As im new to OP8 pro and it was already 12 when i bought it , also will 11 solve all of these issues?
Thanks for replying

OOS12 looks better but everything else is better in OOS11.
But OOS12 is not as bad as you describe. Maybe your phone is on an beta of OOS12. You might wanna check your software version.
I guess you bought a used phone, because im pretty sure the OP8Pro gets shipped with Android 10.
I would go for a fresh start and rollback to OOS11 using MSM Tool.

Where to download it? How to make sure its the right version for my device and wont brick it? Can i install it directly over OOS 12?
You can find all these information easily on google. Im not willing to post links from outside of xda.
And yes you can install color os directly.
