@rbhawk I managed to install then stock Android/Oxygen 9.0.8 with MSM Download in EDL mode (lowest hardware recovery mode) with this tutorial : https://www.thecustomdroid.com/oneplus-6-6t-unbrick-guide/

To start the 6 or 6T in EDL mode, set off the device and plug the USB while pressing volume + and -

The only caveat is... MSM Download runs on Windows.

Hi,
I tried to install ubtouch on Oneplus 6 with Android 10 (a mistake, I should have downgraded first to Android 9...).
Now I can just boot in fastmode (recovery mode brings me to fastboot too) and I don't know what to do to restore Android 10 or 9 - the phone is bricked... (I can't even set it off: it boots back to fastmode).
It was a brand new device I just bought to use ubtouch (enchilada) on

Reynald

I just reflashed the device with Android 9.0.8 with MSM Download, so Android 9 is running OK.

Switched to developper mode, unlocked, and then ubports-installer (0.8.8) says "Your device sdm845 is not supported".

On this page https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/enchilada/ it's said this device sdm845 is supported, so what???

Reynald

@lakotaubp OK, I managed to configure Android 9 and start ubports-installer.

The new problem is: ubports-installer recognize the phone, downloads files, and the 9/12 file has bad checksum and the whole thing fails:

error: download error: Error: Error: Checksum mismatch on file /home/reynald/.cache/ubports/enchilada/Ubuntu Touch/boot-caf5011e14b7d983ea9f2384ef2fc43c4937bbd0006b30ff1aa65c87ae2ef8ee.tar.xz

I will make a new post for this issue

I tried to use USB tethering on my OP6: not working at all (interface stays in MTP mode).

I found that RNDIS mode was just not implemented in /usr/share/usbinit/setupusb... snif...

So I modified (with success) /usr/share/usbinit/setupusb:

#!/bin/sh

	setup_mtp

	setup_mtp_adb

	echo "No configuration selected."
fi

exit 0

and /usr/bin/tethering :

#! /bin/sh

NMCONF=/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/tethering

init_interface(){
bash /usr/share/usbinit/setupusb reset
bash /usr/share/usbinit/setupusb rndis

    STAMP=$(date +%s)

    if [ ! -e $NMCONF ];then
        cat << EOF >$NMCONF

    else
        sed -i s/^mac-address=.*/mac-address=${MAC}/ $NMCONF
        sed -i s/^uuid=.*/uuid=${UUID}/ $NMCONF
        sed -i s/^timestamp=.*/timestamp=${STAMP}/ $NMCONF
    fi

    chmod 0600 $NMCONF
    sleep 2
    nmcli c reload
    nmcli c up id tethering
}

disable(){
    nmcli c down id tethering || true
    rm $NMCONF || true
    initctl start mtp-state
}

case $1 in
    enable)
        init_interface
        enable
        ;;
    disable)
        disable
        ;;
    *)
        echo "need an argument (enable|disable)"
        exit 0
        ;;
esac

RNDIS is now fully usable with /usr/bin/tethering enable/disable and with UT Tweak Tool.
Enjoy!

Please could anybody give me the content of /etc/ofono/ril_subscription.conf on his OP6?

Reynald

Seems to be a bad version of file /etc/ofono/ril_subscription.conf during update to OTA-20.

I solved the problem by replacing with this but I'm not sure for the content (sourced from fairphone FP3) :

[Settings]
#EmptyConfig=false
#Identity=radio:radio
#3GLTEHandover=true
#SetRadioCapability=auto

SetRadioCapability=off
emptyPinQuery=false
radioPowerCycle=false
confirmRadioPowerOn=false

[ril_0]
transport=binder:name=slot1
name=slot1

[ril_1]
transport=binder:name=slot2
name=slot2

Any idea?

Reynald

My phone (OP6) have just been updated with OTA-20.
Now there is no SIM card unlocking form at startup and no SIM card neither cellular network shown in Network

Reynald

Sometimes the phone disconnects from cellular network because SIM2 slot (the only slot I use) shows "No SIM card".

SIM2 runs OK after reboot... until the next time.

It seems to happen more often when WiFi is switched off.

Reynald

I found that when I choose "Reboot" or "Power off", the screen just goes black but the phone neither reboots or goes down: it is just "freezed" and still draining battery.

To really power it down, I have to long press the power button while the screen is black (and press power again to restart it).

Reynald

Reinstalling older 0.8.9 installer fixed the flashing bug.
UTouch finally installed on my OnePlus!!! (one month battle...)

Reynald

@alter Well... I start thinking a manual install script based on curl, fastboot and adb would be more usable than circumventing so many ubports-installer bugs!

Reynald

@alter Maybe, but... I tried installer 0.9.1 because installer 0.8.9 has downloading issues...

Reynald

@reynald Same problem after wiping user data from recovery mode.
