Anyone still running a beta/12L build of Android on their 4a 5g bramble?
If so, can anyone check out their 'generic_band_restrictions.xml' off their EFS partiton? What I want to know is if the 12L/Beta builds change those file(s) to allow n77 band access. Maybe if you have beta build from Feb-Early March 2022. Later betas might have gotten rid of it during the whole FCC/FAA BS. months back.
You can view/extract/write EFS via QPST. Look for anything that says ''excluded'. What I'm thinking/hoping is that, while that info seems pretty blank on A11-A12-A13 builds (official), there was a period of time just before Google decided to F over Pixel 5/4a5g owners on c-band (class action anyone?) , that there was a period of "it might happen", and I think during beta 12 builds they may have provisioned EFS to provide c-band framework to allow it. I saw a post somethere on a Pixel 5 which is its brother. So it would be nice to see the EFS on those beta builds for 4a5g and see if possible to enable/de-exclude the n77 band. I could be smoking crack.
The "logic" of my madness is based from these posts:

Pixel 5/5a and Verizon 5G c-band eventuality

So if his is true. 1) Either we can 'clone' a n77 config from a Pixel 5. Or 2) if they also released a Beta firmware build for the 4a5g in which the EFS provisioning is there but just needs to be enabled, if not already so.

Not asking for an ETA but just wondering IF there will be TWRP for this device. Seems to me that by now most other new devices have it. Did I miss something that makes it difficult to write for the Pixel 4a 5G? Thanks.

Everything is the same. You can use Magisk.
The only difference for your country is that the screenshot sound and stock camera sounds can't be disabled. There is a magisk module for that (replaces those audio files with silence), but at this point it only works for screenshots. But you can install gcam mod (I recommend MWP camera mod), it is better anyway - you can force 60fps for example.
The following thing is for all versions of this device:
Please read the forum here how to root this device, if you this is a new phone for you - basically you need to disable verity and verification **every time you flash updates**. Because if your have root and you reboot after updating without disabling those, you will have to wipe your phone.
My info about root is a little bit outdated, but check the original post anyway:

I saw another version of OxygenOS 12 beta 1 for the OnePlus 8 Pro NA on the following link:
OnePlus 8, 8 Pro & 8T OxygenOS 12 (Android 12) Open Beta 1 rolling out
OnePlus is now rolling out the Android 12-based OxygenOS 12 open beta 1 for OnePlus 8, 8 Pro, and 8T phones. Here are the download links.
androidstories.com
.ZIP files are significantly different in size (MB) and in name. The composition of .ZIPs is the same.
Do the two versions with your link achieve the same result?
Also, does upgrading with OxygenOS 12 on a device with OxygzenOS 11.0.10, rooted with Magisk 24, erase Magisk and you have to reinstall this app with the procedure you indicate?
Thanks for your information and advice....

You can update to 12 but before rebooting the device in Magisk install the Magisk to inactive slot and then reboot so you will have the Magisk retained.
