Hi everyone,
I literally just got the Chinese version of the oneplus 3T (A3010) and I want to move from Hydrogen OS 2.5.1 to Oxygen OS 3.5 official with OTA. Does anyone have the file or instructions how to do this? I found instructions for the oneplus 3 but not sure with this model. I'm sure any help would help out a lot of people who are gonna ask this question.
Also will this unlock the bootloader? Just curious about it affecting android pay.
Thank you!:laugh:

Wanna do me a favor and grab a nandroid backup of your rom before you kill it? I actually want h2os
Aside from that, you should theoretically be able to: ("Official" guide https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...oid-efs-backup-and-more.475142/#post-15431571)
Unlock the bootloader
Flash TWRP
Flash dm-verity
Flash OOS 3.5.3 from the ROM page, I have a mirror too (http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/zip-flashable-firmware-modem-t3509015) mirror on pg 2.
and you'll be set, you can flash the original recovery if it's available on the OnePlus page as well and relock to go back to full stock just English version
PS: Since there is no stock recovery image available yet, maybe will have to run TWRP temporarily, rip the recovery off and then proceed? I dunno
Thanks for your quick reply! I was hoping more along the lines of the adb Sideload method and keep the bootloader locked for now though. If I go the root method sure I can share the nandroid backup.
PS the rom looks really similar to the oxygen rom, so far it looks like only the launcher is different. I guess this is part of the plan to merge the two.
Well you can try flashing the image straight. It's a stock image anyways so it could work.

Basically what I meant was to do the opposite of what is suggested here http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/rom-h2os-2-5-oneplus-3t-released-t3511443 but with the 3.5.3 ROM
Help needed with android pay and OOS clean install
I'm in a similar situation with a chinese bought OnePlus 3G from Lazada.sg that came with Hydrogen OS. I've managed to install TWRP but because I'm completely new, got stuck and instead managed to install OOS 3.5 (now 4.## from the official website) using adb sideload.
I do have 2 questions:
1) My internet connection drops occasionally even though my WiFi is still connected, is that an issue because I might not have installed it correctly? Would a clean flash solve it?
2) I understand android pay is disabled when you unlock bootloader but even after that, will it be possible to wipe the phone clean and do a fresh install of the lastest OOS and the phone will pretty much be like the international version, with android pay re-enabled?
I believe you can use Sultanxda's patch as another way around, but it sounds complicated as hell for a new person, so I'll continue digging around while waiting for a reply.
Thank you, and any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Hi!
I recently bought a Mi Mix and want to flash it with Lineage OS.
I followed all relevant instructions - did unlock the bootloader and so on - but I am not able to install TWRP using ADB and fastboot.
The phone is connecting well in ADB - even the "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" gets a positive response - all seems to work fine. But after rebooting, I am always confronted with the stock recovery - the flashing so seems not to work out of some reason - TWRP gets removed during the reboot process.
I also tried to first flash and then use the "fastboot boot twrp.img" command. This command starts TWRP, but only in a frozen state - TWRP then starts in a way that you are not able to interact with the interface. Also here - after rebooting the stock recovery is there again. Can someone give me a hint, how to solve this problem?
I am running ADB on a Linux Computer (Debian 9) - dont think, that this might cause issues, but maybe....
The phone runs the MIUI-Version "MIUI Global 9.1 Stable"
It would be great, if someone here could help me out. I am somehow stuck and dont know how to proceed..
Thanks for taking the time!

You can find two compatible versions of TWRP here.
Thanks Gavin!
Just out of curiosity - can you explain me, why the official TWRP Versions are not working and the ones you did post are good?

Touch has never worked on the official versions to my knowledge. Even the latest 3.2.1.0 build still has broken touch. It is still usable if you use a USB adapter/mouse, but not via touch.
Dear Gavin! Your TWRP file worked great.
But I have no another issue that seems to be common with the Mi Mix - the media sound is not working anymore. Notification and phone works fine but music and video is gone. I just was reading that you should update the firmware. Are the other files added in the link you did send by chance the relevant firmware files?

I was looking for that as well! Thanks for sharing. I can confirm that this TWRP version works well with the Mi Mix.
Thanks guys - the device works fine now. You saved my day!
There is one thing left. I still cannot initiate TWRP manually - have to use ADB for this. Once TWRP is started, I cannot reach the devices harddisk anymore from my computer. Thats no issue now, but might cause issues in the future. Any idea how to solve this?

No. It happened with my device as well. You cannot mount your internal storage on your PC. I've tried many different versions of TWRP and none have allowed access. I'm not quite sure why ... I had other devices in the past and it always worked. On the Mi mix however, it does not. So just turn on your phone and transfer what you need to or adb sideload it.

No. I don't believe that he did James. Does it work for you? because it never worked for me either. I've tried all the different versions of TWRP and it didn't do a thing. Also I have no passwords or encryption. I'm sure of this. Maybe I'm also doing something wrong and that's why I can't Mount my internal storage while in TWRP recovery?
I don't use the official TWRP because for some reason the official versions of TWRP offered for the Mi Mix are broken. The touchscreen never works and I don't have an external controller or anything else to make it work other than the phones screen. So I've used the custom versions that have been fixed and re-released on XDA.

Well its strange cause there are thousands using it for over a year now. Maybe you have always been encrypted. Which ROM are you using, I mean you haven't still got the vendor fake ROM, any updates?

That's very odd. I'm not quite sure what to tell you. I know for a fact though that my device is not encrypted. I'm currently running RR without any password/pattern. Before installing RR I was on stock OS and still no password/pattern. I live alone and so I don't feel the need to use a password on my phone. So ever since I've purchased this phone I've never had a password on it.
No updates as far as I'm aware on the RR.
Does it Mount for you? If so, what TWRP are you using on your device?

I've used the same 1 from the beginning, smarty, I just followed the guide in the guide section how to remove vendor ROM. I use Linux it works fine. Everyone thought they had official ROM in the beginning only to find out it was vendor ROM. What about using mtp to send files, maybe that's what I did, can't even remember.

Wow. Well you're lucky tbh. I can't seem to figure out why mine doesn't connect. I'm not sure what the difference is between the vendor (ROM) and the "stock" (ROM) - I know I was using the global stable (ROM) that's what my phone first came with and it was running 6.0 MM.
Yes, I have tried to use MTP while in TWRP and it doesn't do anything. My computer does detect something but doesn't show the phone to be connected or anything. I have even tried to mount it in the options but nothing. I know I have all drivers installed and does not make a difference. I'm running Windows 10 not Linux.

I'm going to try when I get home, it's been do long since I tried something like that, have you ticked and then unticked mount in read only. Then reboot to recovery again.
Descendant os
I did not create this rom and I am not responsible for any result caused by flashing this rom.
A gsi custom os for any android phone, developers claims.
A very cool os, seems even better then oxyjen os.
Brave ones who want to try it on, download is in link below:
All relevant info is inside the youtube video, roms gapps, twrp, every thing needed to flash.
All that is left is to tell you again the usable disclaimer- I did not create this rom and I am not responsible for any result caused by flashing this rom.
If you do exactly what the guide tells you to do there should be no problem, all the info is the youtube video.
Enjoy.
And don't come crying about broken links, not my problem.
Now let's start the flashing!

Why would you post to try this if you have not installed on a oneplus 7t pro yet?
Becuse what's the point of a community if you're able to share good information in it. In any other case there are two specific answers :
First- information is valuable even if you are not going to use it.
Second- since I'm have no computer to be able to flash with at all, I have not been able to even root my device.
But as soon as I can get my hands on a computer to flash with I will let you know first, OK?
Now as I already commented above this is not of my creation and I already mentioned that I'm not taking any responsibility for your actions with the information provided, have fun!
I flashed it, it works however the fingerprint scanner doesn't and the front facing camera is a bit iffy. Does boot though.
You can flash it via fastboot as it is just a system.img file.

May I ask, why do you need to wait 166 hours to unlock bootloader? I this about the apply thingy that you need to do before unlocking Xiaomi devices? Because I have read this article that stated "Before some years ago you need to apply and wait 1-15 days for permission! But, now Xiaomi changes its policy. Now you don't need to apply for unlocking your device.Oct 13, 2018"

tested the unofficialtwrp thing today. And now got me bootlooped. seems like the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip is not working as expected. now im trying to restore the old state.... hope there will be a good way to root this cause i need adaway
Adguard is loads less trouble - fine without root

Thanks darthm0e! Hope you keep updating here on your findings BTW, how can we create a custom recovery? I want to know how to.
Adguard doesn't work for all my needs. and its more or less browser based. Anyway i need root for some other stuff too...so.
2nd try i used the Xiaomi Tool V2 (by Francesco Tescari). It loads also the same TWRP image and i also get stucked in the Bootloop.
on tradingshenzhen they explained more or less the same method then unofficialtwrp.com except they use the XiaomiTool V2
and the TWRP i found there is the same.
whats strange is that i only read about Codename Merlin for the Redmi Note 9, but mine reports hisself as MerlinNFC. maybe this is the thing or are they all equipt with NFC? I will try tomorrrow again.

Redmi note 9 root
How root redmi note 9???? Any body know about redmi note 9 recovery?????? When recovery coming for redmi note 9??????
Hi guys,
New here and I got this phone a few weeks ago. I tried rooting it via Magisk both by flashing the zip on the unofficial TWRP and by patching the boot.img file, but both methods ended up in bootloop.
So I'd like to know if any of you have informations on this : has a consistent way of rooting this phone been found?
(My question may seem stupid since it only came out a month or so ago, but honestly I don't really have an idea how long it usually takes after a device's release for people to find a way to root it)
Thanks for your answers!

This post worked for me as far as rooting goes.
I also managed to verify the SafetyNet test (with magisk spoofing modules + clearing Play Store/Services data), then installed edXposed just fine too.
But, then I installed some module that got me stuck in a bootloop and had to wipe and start over, and I couldn't pass the SafetyNet check anymore for some reason.
So I wiped again and keeping it unrooted for now, I'll wait for custom ROMs.

Could u tell me please how did u install ? I flashed it in magisk but it shows me that it's not installed in the edxposed manager.
@Akitake: That's always nice to see that a particular rooting method of some related Redmi phone works on our Redmi Note 9. :good:
Now, you know for sure that the Redmi Note 9 has a MediaTek G85 processor and Xiaomi devices are notorious for getting very easily bricked. See for example the Custom Rom threads for Redmi Note 8. It is really spooky how some guys end up having their smartphone turn in to a Xiaomi service center - if there is such a center at all in their country. So what's paramount here for us Redmi Note 9 users is that we really, really make sure that we don't arrive at a hopeless situation! That's why I need to ask you some questions to make sure we all are on the same page.
1) What Note 9 do you have? Is it one with NFC or not? Mine, for example, is a M2003J15SG where G denotes the NFC variant.
2) What's the MIUI version you are running? Mine, for example, is 11.0.5.0 (QJOEUXM)
3) You unlocked your phone, right?
4) Did you use any particular tools like a particular fastboot version, for instance?
5) Which version of Magisk did you install?
6) Which version of edXposed did you install?
7) Which Magisk spoofing module did you install? Why that and not another one?
8) What do you mean with "clearing Play Store / services data". Do you mean all Google Play services data?
9) If you arrived at a bootloop, how did you wipe? Did you wipe data/cache/etc? Did you use fastboot or some LR-TWRP or MiFlash? Which version of the tool?
10) Once you reinstalled your original boot.img, did your phone start up normally or were there "hickups"?
Sorry for asking so many questions, but as I said, I want to make a 100% sure that everything goes well.
Thanks for your answers in advance!
Best whishes to you!

1) It's the lower end version, with 64GB internal storage, Redmi Note 9 (merlin)
2) Latest at time of writing, shouldn't matter but yes, 11.0.5.0, we're also going to get MIUI 12 soon-ish as it's already released in China.
3) Yes with miunlock (Official tool)
4) I just always use the ADB and Fastboot versions provided with MiUnlock (same folder, open CMD inside it then you can use adb and fastboot)
5) Latest? 20.4
6) I installed EdExposed manager from XDA Labs and simply installed it that way, so, latest
7) One of them is like Magisk Props something, the other is lib something which seemed to help for DRM content (netflix etc)
8) Once I installed the Magisk modules for spoofing, I restarted, then cleared the Google Play Store & Play Store services data (In Settings>Apps>Manage Data> Clear all Data), restarted again.
9) I didn't bootloop ever. And even if you do, it's to either use fastboot (power + vol down) and flash the official rom back with MiFlash.
10) Nah it was completely normal.

Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to android. In fact, Mi 11 is my first android phone. Since the official EU ROM for Mi 11 won't be revealed until Feb 8th, and currently we don't have the TWRP for Mi 11, I'm wondering what is the difference between installing the EU ROM with TWRP and without it? After checking the guide, it looks like if installing with the TWRP, then we can use OTA to install future updates. Other than that, are there any major differences? Also, because I basically have no experience with android, I'm slightly worried about bricking the device when installing the EU ROM. Will it be safer to wait until we have the TWRP for Mi 11?
One last question, anyone with experience of using Xiaomitool V2? It looks like a decent tool that can automate most of the installation process.
Thanks!

Without a Custom Recovery available it's riskier to flash, if you don't know what you are doing you can get yourself a nice brick.

You don't really need to worry about twrp, it's only good for backing up and flashing stuff without a PC.
You can still soft brick the phone with TWRP.
Hard bricking a phone in my opinion is pretty much impossible. The important part is having an unlocked bootloader, fastboot and Google USB drivers installed.
You're also better off installing the Xiaomi EU ROM instead of waiting for the global version. The guide is available and is basically a one click install so can't really go wrong.

Thanks for explaining everything! Do I need to install adb and other drivers beforehand? I assume the ROM zip doesn't include those drivers.

Minimal ADB and Fastboot Tool. That's what you need. Google and download it
It is really very easy to flash the xiaomi.eu via Fastboot if you follow the instructions. Updating via script also works flawlessly.

I'll give it a try once the waiting period for unlocking is over. Thanks for the recommendation!

I also spent the seven days of waiting here in the forum reading. So I was able to gather impressions of how others have successfully flashed.

I saw some people posting about their experiences of bricking their phones, so I got a bit worried. But I gather that the correct drivers are the keys to the success here.

I used the ADB and Fastboot tools given above. Likewise the Mi Unlock Tool. If everything is displayed correctly in the device manager when connecting the Mi 11 with China ROM and activated USB debugging, everything will be fine. I use Windows 10 x64 myself and even connected it to a USB 3 hub. But it should definitely be a high quality USB cable.

Just to make sure, by device manager you meant the one that comes with windows 10 right? I haven't used windows in several years. Juts wanted to be sure.

However, I don't know how it works under another OS

I actually meant windows 10. Did you the device manager that comes with windows 10？Since the unlock tool only works with windows, I prepared a separate virtual machine for windows 10.
