Thank you for this video! Having the guide as a video instead of just a webpage is much easier to follow. Can't believe I genuinely have Android 14 running on this phone from 2019, it's incredible now! Many thanks, and keep up the great work, friend.
When i go into pixel recovery, im getting usb device not recognized consequently im unable to sideload anything. Ive checked the drivers, the are the latest one and working on fastboot. But once in pixel recovery adb does not work - device not recogzied. How to fix this?
Note: Pixel Expeirence 12 is now the officially supported build. Make sure you follow the link and enjoy the wonders of Android 12 now with less steps! (don't worry if your filenames differ from mine a little, just make sure you get the version and device correct)
I think that the rom is not compatible with 5g version ? I installed KOSP, everything worked fine, but had no signal, nothing, the sim was not reconized. Is there any compatible rom ? Or you have a fix. Thanks!
The 5G version is a slightly different device, and is a bit of a pain sadly. Best to check over this for a better idea www.reddit.com/r/OnePlus7Pro/comments/pdj6iz/custom_roms_ive_tried_for_the_7_pro_5g_gm1925/
This was the best tutorial on installing a custom ROM on OP7TPRO, been using this ROM for about a week now and its pretty great! except the alert slider and pop-up camera getting confused.But that's alright since I rarely take any selfies! Cheers!
@@FilthyCasualTech So i finally managed to go through the entire process and ran into a bunch of issues which i somehow managed to somehow solve. It was rather confusing since the links said that android 11 was discontinued so i went with the android 12 one that said stable, your video lists the .img file as 11 hotdog but the one from the link said guacamole. Biggest issue i ran into was that i had to access the command promp from the adb folder and not from the default user directory for the commands to work. Overall my experience was a little frustrating but i'm extremely happy with how it turned out. It's my first time flashing my phone so this new pixel experience is very exciting. Thank you!
Apologies for the confusion, as mines a 7TPro it's filenames is hotdog, where the 7Pro uses guacamole - only difference will be filename though. it looks like 12 is now official which makes things easier (11 was official when I flashed mine, but I should have checked - so I guess this video is out of date already) Again, sorry for the frustration - I will take it on board and try to make future guides clearer - really happy that you managed to work through it though, enjoy Pixel Experience!
Woow, been searching for a reliable tutorial on how to do this for a long time, but haven't found one where I really understand everything and am confident to actually do it. This one is it! You said everything important and the quality of the vid is outstanding! Thanks so much.
@@FilthyCasualTech Went very smoothly. Only thing that was different for me was that instead of 'fastboot flash recovery filename.zip' I had to use 'fastboot flash boot filename.zip' cause apparently the wrong partition was slected for some reason (?). Am rocking Pixel Experience Plus thanks to you now and it's very nice.
Hey man, Nice video! I have run into a problem tho.. I am at the part where I need to flash the ROM (4:22 in the vid) and I get this error message: adb: sideload connection failed: no devices/emulators found. adb devices also lists no devices. I have been looking for hours upon hours on forums but I just can't seem to find a solution. When using Oneplus drivers, fastboot devices still returns my device when in fastboot, but adb devices just never works, and when not in fastboot, fastboot devices also does not work. I hope you know what is wrong as I've tried all different drivers and none seem to work for my pc to recognice my device in adb. One last question, am I now unable to even load up the old oxygenos android? As in, is my phone now unusable? I need this phone, so in the worst scenario I would at least like to recover the old OS. I hope you can respond to me soon. Thanks!
Seems odd to be able to get to that stage and then fail ADB If you've gotten to the recovery stage, you could always put the file onto the device and instead of 'Apply from ADB', select 'Apply Update' If you've messed things up and you want to return to OxygenOS, you can use the MSM Download tool - video here: ruclips.net/video/V4i7Dnflrsk/видео.html
@@FilthyCasualTech Hey, thank you for replying so fast and thank you again for the clear video. It seemed to be some problem with either the Pixel Experience recovery or my PC's ADB drivers, as I was not able to see my device but only in the Pixel Experience recovery. What ended up working was flashing TWRP and sideloading the Pixel Experience ROM via there. Adb devices instantly recognized my device when in TWRP and I could sideload the ROM immediately. So anyways a very confusing issue. I'm curious if this is just a one-off on my device or if multiple people have this same problem. I could not find anyone with the same problem on any forum so I'm not really sure.
@@FilthyCasualTech I also have another question if you don't mind. The battery is draining pretty fast now on my phone, and "Pixel Launcher" has a very high battery usage when looking into the battery settings. I don't know if this is normal on the first day of installing this ROM, or if it is a problem with the ROM or my install. Before I flashed this ROM I was on OOS 11 with Android 11, and people online are saying you should be on OOS 12 before installing custom ROMs (which I didn't know and I don't think was specified on the Pixel Experience website). People are saying it is because I still need the OOS 12 firmware or something. So do you think this is normal and I should just wait and see what happens or do you think it is the firmware because I flashed from Android 11? And if it is the firmware can I still update this firmware even after installing the custom ROM? Kind regards
Glad to hear you got it working - I haven't seen your first issue before, but it's always rather difficult when it comes to drivers and Windows. All Pixels tend to use more battery in the first week or two while they're working out your use, I wouldn't be too concerned with Pixel Experience doing the same unless things didn't change. The biggest reason I usually see to start from certain Android firmware is to stop it bricking while flashing, as long as it's installed I wouldn't worry too much.
@@FilthyCasualTech Alright, thank you so much! I'm so glad because I am now able to keep using my Oneplus 7 Pro for years to come, as the hardware is still just amazing. Keep up the good work!
can you do a tutorial how to properly backup my oneplus 7 pro? by properly i mean backing up all my files, all my apps, all the app data, contacts, call history, device settings... and then how to restore the backup on the pixelexperience rom? thank you so much!
The difficulty in this is it can be painful depending on setup. Full backups can generally only be done rooted, but many apps can take advantage of cloud backups, so apps like Google One can back up most everything else easily enough. The bad part of this is if you have some older apps, but they don't have this cloud backup integrated, you're often out of luck (I have one app which I lose data each migration)
It sounds like it's not picking it up properly It does appear to happen with 11 sometimes due to drivers. I would update your adb drivers, and ensure you have the latest platform tools package
Noob question: can I flash Pixel Experience 12 over LineageOS v18.1 (which already is Android 11) or do I have to flash a stock Android 11 first and then flash Pixel Experience 12?
Thanks for the tutorial! I am more concerned with the security patch updates for my current OP7 Pro since Oneplus dont promise security update anymore, will the pixel experience 12 change that? Also is there an easy way to recover the backup once I change the ROM and get back my original data? I am not as tech savvy as most of you guys so I want to be sure before doing anything with my phone.
So far I have gotten security updates fairly promptly, feels quicker than OnePlus Backup wise, it depends what data/apps you have that you want to keep. Some older apps can't be backed up, quite a lot of newer ones offer cloud backups now and even the Google One app does some backups for messages and other logs. I ended up migrating to different apps for things like weight/fitness tracking to something that does cloud backups or at least offers an export feature. I still lost all the data for some of my boardgame tracking through as the app was too old :(
Same. Mine reads "expected Oneplus7T but" and can't read the rest. It's a 7T hotdog 100%. Also, where to get the copy-partitions-...zip??? No link to this file here, and no mention of flashing this on pixelexperience site.
I am trying to get pixel experience 12 on my one plus 7 pro guacamole when i try to flash the pixel recovery 12 im getting remote fail no such partition slot b any fix for this? when i reboot it brings me back to the normal boot and home screen. i dont see the copy partitions anymore in the wiki guide i would really love to get pixel experience on my OP7 Pro!
@@FilthyCasualTech Thanks! But I did find a fix for this I was using a usb 3.0 so I had to switch it to a 2.0 to make it work, then I successfully installed Pixel experience 13 plus with no errors at all and no copy partition!
After flashing the ROM through the recovery, I get "Total xfer: 1.00x" and it seems to be ok. But once I reboot system it goes to fastboot and doesn't boot. Has anyone faced this? Is there a solution?
At 3:30 when you type in the command 'adb sideload copy-partitions....zip', i am wondering if i have to type in the exact same numbers? If not, where can i find them?
It's best you don't copy the numbers I have, as it would often be out of date. Check out the link in the description for your device, those pages should have the correct file, from there you just want to paste in your file name
I follow the step, install recovery using fastboot. The installation success but when i boot into recovery it not show pixel experience recovery, it only show oneplus logo with 3 Language to choose. No button show update except clear cach and format device. I already follow your step. I'm using oneplus 7t
It sounds like it's not loading correctly I would make sure you have the correct files, double check the steps and try again Check out the Pixel Experience written guide linked too for a bit more detail
Is that copy partition thing really needed? As I've flashed it with out that and worked just fine, also other roms that use adb sideload require that too
Just confirmed with the developer this is what he said "Yes. If you want to ensure that all the partition are on same level. But that is optional" so I guess you can skip that step of you want
I would say if you've upgraded your firmware beyond 11 and need to ensure both partitions are back again - use the copy just to be safe That said, I tend to play with fire and skip it myself a fair bit - just know the risks :)
Where is the file you used for managing the partition can't find the download link if possible please provide a link and I can see in the video your active slot is showing as 'a' and mine is showing 'b' what to do here please guide.
Hmmmm, it doesn't seem to be listed as a step in the guide anymore Someone has linked a copy in this thread though forum.xda-developers.com/t/copy-partitions.4498003/
Ensure that windows hasn't added another zip, eg filename.zip.zip If the name is complex and you're typing it out, rename it to something simpler These are the big ones for me
I did it the exact same way you did. Now, after I unlocked the bootloader my phone is in a loop (OP sign with the two dots spinning around) after a few seconds it restart the process i described.... some ideas?
They seem to stop referencing it in documentation Can still find links to it in xda threads like forum.xda-developers.com/t/while-on-slot_a-flash-copypartitions-zip.4107729/
Do you have to roll back to OOS 11? I have a oneplus 8t and have been looking into this rom but I'm on the latest stable OOS12, do I have to roll back?
Has the experience improved on the pixel 12 like the fp issue and everything has been solved these little bugs?? As dp scanner is a pretty major concern for me
hllo brother. i am planning to flash pixel experience rom on my one plus 7 pro. Can u tell me that, would i have to roll back to oos11 from oos12 beta 2 or can i just continue with the steps from oos12 beta ?? pls help
@@FilthyCasualTech Before that, there are twrp and there I accidentally deleted the internal memory, maybe because of this? then I flashed for pixel recovery
downloaded the firmware for the second time reboots into fastboot no new firmware even the van plus icon is left maybe that I didn’t make a backup therefore?
Sounds like this www.reddit.com/r/OnePlus7Pro/comments/phw70w/front_camera_not_working_post_update/ Have seen it happen a few times, sadly only resolution I've seen is a hardware fix from OnePlus
If I want to go from Pixel Experience 11 to Pixel Experience 12 with clean install, do I still need to do the Copy Partition thing? (I already have Pixel Recovery installed)
Not able to get past _fasboot oem unlock_, getting this message FAILED (remote: 'Device cannot be unlocked for technical reason.') fastboot: error: Command failed Any tips please? tried to follow all the steps. The PC is recognising the fastboot device, and I tried another cable as well, didn't help.
@@FilthyCasualTech I don't think so. I think I messed up while installing adb and fastboot. I wish there were a software for it, like for fire tabs, to get rid of the native system apps and install custom launcher as default. I'll try it again after some time. Let me know if you come across a solution for it :)
I did notice that the copy partitions is gone now - it can still be done if you're worried by finding the file online, but shouldn't be needed. I've done it plenty of times without that step without issue so far
Thanks, appreciate it You don't want to lock the bootloader once you install a custom ROM as it will likely brick your device. There should be little downside to leaving it unlocked other than the startup message
Hi. I follow your guide and now im using Pixel Experience plus 12 and it's works great on my 7TPro. I got a OTA update today, can i just click install? My Phone is encrypted. Not loosing data? Thanks.
@@FilthyCasualTech Thanks 4 reply, the OTA update works fine! It's first time in a year that i have a phone without app crashing (Android 11, all versions) and Oxygen 12 last month, reboot Loops and auto restart every hour. Thanks for the great guide! Now i don't need to Buy Pixel 7.
Make sure you have the latest copy of platform tools developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools Also ensure the copy partitions file is being referenced correctly, with the full file name
Hey, Thank you for the great tutorial, k just flashed pixel experience plus and i want to root the phone via magisk. Also i have a side note, i didn't find how i can lower my vibration intensity! Thanks
Unfortunately I haven't rooted in quite a while, you'll have to check out a magisk guide - I generally haven't felt the need in the last few years though. I don't currently have this ROM installed to check, but I believe Plus did have a way - have you tried searching vibration in the settings menu?
@@FilthyCasualTech yeah, i manage to root via TWRP (live boot to the recovery).. But, for the vibration the last version of PE or PE plus doesn't have a way to lower the vibration intensity only to deactivated. Thanks for the tutorial... Your videos are well explained
Glad that you got it rooted, disappointed there isn't a way to tune the vibration though as it feels like such a basic thing. Thanks for the kind words, appreciate it!
For the life of me, I cannot find a straight answer from anyone regardless of what ROM I attempt to install. Everyone I speak to leads me down a rabbit hole with no exit. How do I get "fastboot devices" to show the device ID? And how do I get rid of the "yellow triangle !" in device manager? I keep getting told to install the google USB drivers but it doesn't fix it. And the Oneplus USB drivers break every time I try to install them. iOS was easy as pie to jailbreak, why is simply flashing a ROM on my Android so much more difficult? Is there some way you can assist?
It's always a bit rough with device stuff For me, the Google Drivers was the thing that got it working I take it you've checked over stuff like this: www.thewindowsclub.com/fastboot-not-working-on-windows#:~:text=The%20very%20first%20reason%20is,PC%20using%20a%20USB%20cable. If possibly I would also see if you have better luck with different cables and a different PC
@@FilthyCasualTech I'll take another shot at it when I get some free time on a different pc. I was using the official Oneplus cable that came in the box with the phone, so that'd be odd if it's part of the problem but I'll see.
@@FilthyCasualTech So I finally got PE12+ Installed, but now the SIM card is not getting recognized at times, or my carrier isn't sure what to do with the device. Guess a trip to the carrier is in order.
I don't actually recall as it's not something I use. I can try and reflash PE this week to check, but alternatively you could check out FlamingoOS - I just published a review for that one and it does feature call screening
It is not a carrier device, but I have notice that I did the installation through stock Oxygen with android 12. Trying to reinstall Oxygen 11, accidentally blocked my phone and doesn't want to turn on. I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the help! *Advice for someone who wants to install a mod: Do it. Screwing up things is the best way to learn.
@@FilthyCasualTech My phone came back from the grave. After the battery died completely, I could access to the phone again and do the reinstallation process. I used "MSM Tool" to go back to Oxygen 11 and then follow your tutorial again. Works perfect now.
Not exactly You would need to find a ROM that is specifically aimed at it, as it's essentially a different device Check out this discussion on it www.reddit.com/r/OnePlus7Pro/comments/pdj6iz/custom_roms_ive_tried_for_the_7_pro_5g_gm1925/
Yep, running through the MSM Download tool will restore Oxygen OS and lock the bootloader - so back to normal I have a video on using the tool here ruclips.net/video/V4i7Dnflrsk/видео.html
@@FilthyCasualTech I loved it man it's the first time I installed an custom rom and It worked totally fine for me. The pixel exclusive features are really good. Thankyou for the simple explanation video.
if you've managed to get the ROM going, then you're fine. There is a chance the device can be bricked in the flashing process and the copy-partitions step gets around that
@@FilthyCasualTech THANKS, it's running well, but the volume has been little lower and sound quality is different kind of worse than before. If I have to reflash, what should I do, should repeat the proper way again?
I currently have the plus software installed - recently got a notification for update just like stock software Update went through and installed in the background without issue - only thing is it downloads the whole ROM (1.3GB) instead of an incremental update, so takes a little time but works great
Oh boy - that's a pain 😭 Since you refer to the MSM tool, I assume you've already worked through a bit. The only thing that comes to mind, is it the PC having the connection issue and not the phone, possibly different cable/port/PC?
@@FilthyCasualTech yep turns out the Qualcomm drivers weren’t working correctly everything is fine now :) I flashed pixel experience on oos android 10 instead of 11 and it worked fine seems like android 11 really does suck.
Really happy that it worked in the end, awesome work! Imagine it will be related to firmware that comes with A11, was curious what happened if it wasn't upgraded 🤣
Not that I'm aware of, as it counts as a different device You could look into this though: forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-12-1-oneplus-7t-pro-5g-mclaren-edition-official-pixelos-aosp-stable-18-08-2022.4474073/
Not all ROMs are done this way, but it looks like derpfest is, so yep Make sure to follow their instructions and factory reset, usual warnings/cautions etc
Unfortunately it's considered a different device GM1920 has a codename of 'guacamoleg' compared to the usual 'guacamole, and I don't really see much development for this one.
I have tried other roms before and they have installed but the only thing that didn't work was the phone would not recognize the sim card and then no mobile data, is that likely to be the same with this Rom?
@@FilthyCasualTech silly Q what is YAAP? Is it a different Rom? I assume as long as I have the original Rom I can revert back to it if this other one doesn't work? I also assume the upgrade process is the same? Unlock bootloader, install magisk or Twrp, flash Rom?
I have a video on loading YAAP here, another custom rom All the negatives in my review of it no longer apply ruclips.net/video/8FlIvkG6_hs/видео.html You should be able to use the MSM Download tool to revert back to stock - double check you can find it for your model though
I used GCAM and found stability to be fine on my 7T Pro - it lets me change the lens too. Possibly try a few different versions if some have stability issues on your device.
Pixel Experience 13 is starting to appear for many devices!
Installation is the same, except for using the newer files

Some older apps can't be backed up, quite a lot of newer ones offer cloud backups now and even the Google One app does some backups for messages and other logs.
I ended up migrating to different apps for things like weight/fitness tracking to something that does cloud backups or at least offers an export feature.
I still lost all the data for some of my boardgame tracking through as the app was too old :(
When I try to sideload the .zip file it says: "Package is for product OnePlus7Pro but expected", what should i do now?
Sounds like only part of the error, and possibly using the incorrect package

Same. Mine reads "expected Oneplus7T but" and can't read the rest. It's a 7T hotdog 100%.

I am trying to get pixel experience 12 on my one plus 7 pro guacamole when i try to flash the pixel recovery 12 im getting remote fail no such partition slot b any fix for this? when i reboot it brings me back to the normal boot and home screen. i dont see the copy partitions anymore in the wiki guide i would really love to get pixel experience on my OP7 Pro!
Did notice they stopped using it for the latest update - interesting

@@FilthyCasualTech Thanks! But I did find a fix for this I was using a usb 3.0 so I had to switch it to a 2.0 to make it work, then I successfully installed Pixel experience 13 plus with no errors at all and no copy partition!
Ahh excellent - great to hear! 😁
Crazy the amount of issues USB 3 seems to cause 😮💨
PE official site says I need to be on android 12.1 for this to work, but I'm on android 11 (OOS11), can I still follow the same step & process?
If you can upgrade to 12.1 first, you should

@@FilthyCasualTech oh okay, thanks for your quick response! Immediately subbed 🙌
After flashing the ROM through the recovery, I get "Total xfer: 1.00x" and it seems to be ok. But once I reboot system it goes to fastboot and doesn't boot.
Has anyone faced this? Is there a solution?
I've had similar before where it came back like that but actually failed somewhere.
Repeat the process again from the start and see how you go.
At 3:30 when you type in the command 'adb sideload copy-partitions....zip', i am wondering if i have to type in the exact same numbers? If not, where can i find them?
It's best you don't copy the numbers I have, as it would often be out of date.
Check out the link in the description for your device, those pages should have the correct file, from there you just want to paste in your file name
I follow the step, install recovery using fastboot. The installation success but when i boot into recovery it not show pixel experience recovery, it only show oneplus logo with 3 Language to choose. No button show update except clear cach and format device. I already follow your step.
I'm using oneplus 7t
It sounds like it's not loading correctly
I would make sure you have the correct files, double check the steps and try again
Check out the Pixel Experience written guide linked too for a bit more detail
Is that copy partition thing really needed? As I've flashed it with out that and worked just fine, also other roms that use adb sideload require that too
Just confirmed with the developer this is what he said "Yes. If you want to ensure that all the partition are on same level. But that is optional" so I guess you can skip that step of you want
Yeah, one of those steps that isn't always needed, but better safe than sorry :)
@@FilthyCasualTech true, I decided to skip it, it flashed and works fine
If I already done this instructions once, can I skip the copy partitions part? and go directly flashing the ROM update.
I would say if you've upgraded your firmware beyond 11 and need to ensure both partitions are back again - use the copy just to be safe
That said, I tend to play with fire and skip it myself a fair bit - just know the risks :)
Where is the file you used for managing the partition can't find the download link if possible please provide a link and I can see in the video your active slot is showing as 'a' and mine is showing 'b' what to do here please guide.
Hmmmm, it doesn't seem to be listed as a step in the guide anymore

I did it the exact same way you did. Now, after I unlocked the bootloader my phone is in a loop (OP sign with the two dots spinning around) after a few seconds it restart the process i described.... some ideas?

Do you have to roll back to OOS 11? I have a oneplus 8t and have been looking into this rom but I'm on the latest stable OOS12, do I have to roll back?
Latest OxygenOS 12 is good, I only said 11 as it's the latest for the 7 series currently.
after rebooting my device is going baack into recovery mode and nothing is happening what to do

Has the experience improved on the pixel 12 like the fp issue and everything has been solved these little bugs?? As dp scanner is a pretty major concern for me
It slowly improved over time, but was never fantastic
ROMs like YAAP and Flamingo have better fingerprint performance though
hllo brother. i am planning to flash pixel experience rom on my one plus 7 pro. Can u tell me that, would i have to roll back to oos11 from oos12 beta 2 or can i just continue with the steps from oos12 beta ?? pls help
Heya - it would be best to use the MSM Download Tool to go back to 11 before going onto Pixel Experience 12
Which ROM would you recommend for OP 7 right now? I am on PE plus but I am seeing random crashdump mode every now and then.
Flamingo is my current favourite
Supports Android 13 now and has been good
if i coming from official OOS 11,bootloader unlocked. do this installation erases all mine storage on phone or ...? thanks!
While you'll skip the Bootloader unlock wipe, there is still a format once the ROM is installed.
So yep, you'll lose your data
My screen becomes white blank with some glitches after a second or third reboot, any help?
When installing, or on this ROM?
Hey man, do we have to place the req files for pixel experience in the adb folder only?
Yep, I have my fastboot, ADB and ROM files all in the same folder
Help me write during the installation of pus 0% abd faild to read command no eror .
Is the file you're trying to flash the correct file?
Does 'ADB devices' command work okay?
@@FilthyCasualTech Before that, there are twrp and there I accidentally deleted the internal memory, maybe because of this? then I flashed for pixel recovery
Listen loaded up to 47 percent rebooted and does not go into the firmware delete the firmware and re-flash?
downloaded the firmware for the second time reboots into fastboot no new firmware even the van plus icon is left maybe that I didn’t make a backup therefore?
I would start over from scratch, use the MSM Tool to return to stock, bring it up to A11, then start the flashing process for PE
C'è un modo per utilizzare Google wallet ?
Google Wallet / Google pay works fine on this ROM
Can I go directly from Yaap to PE, or should i revert back oos first?
You should be fine going directly
I always give it a go first off - if I run into issues can always revert if need be
cant we just install the rom through TWRP recovery like any other rom this seems a little complicated
If you already have TWRP, yeah you'll probably be okay using it.
Usually recommended to use their recovery to avoid issues though

Let me know if you come across a solution for it :)
Any chance you can try on a different PC?
try experience plus as its already official now
Yep, my timing didn't work out for this as I see 12 and 12+ are now official
For Oneplus 7 Pro?
Yep, can find the links in the description - it's in the same download section
hi, will this guide also work for pixel experience 13?
At my last check it worked, just double check their install guide and make sure to use the up to date files
@@FilthyCasualTech great, thanks! the install guide doesn't have the part that's about the a/b slots, so I guess that's not important by now?
I did notice that the copy partitions is gone now - it can still be done if you're worried by finding the file online, but shouldn't be needed.
I've done it plenty of times without that step without issue so far
hey man great video. How do i lock the bootloader ?
Thanks, appreciate it
You don't want to lock the bootloader once you install a custom ROM as it will likely brick your device.
There should be little downside to leaving it unlocked other than the startup message
Great video sir. But my internet,wifi not working any suggestion.
From what I can see around, it looks like the best first step is to make sure you have the latest version, clear your data and then reflash it again
Hi. I follow your guide and now im using Pixel Experience plus 12 and it's works great on my 7TPro. I got a OTA update today, can i just click install? My Phone is encrypted. Not loosing data? Thanks.
You should be able to take the OTA without data lose.
Upgrading to Android 13 would need to be done outside of OTA though.
@@FilthyCasualTech Thanks 4 reply, the OTA update works fine! It's first time in a year that i have a phone without app crashing (Android 11, all versions) and Oxygen 12 last month, reboot Loops and auto restart every hour.
Thanks for the great guide! Now i don't need to Buy Pixel 7.
Glad that it will keep you going with your current device for a little longer 😁
can the copy partition file be used to install other custom roms ?
It can be used to make sure both partitions are on the same firmware in preparation for other ROMs, yeah

Hey,
Thank you for the great tutorial, k just flashed pixel experience plus and i want to root the phone via magisk.
Also i have a side note, i didn't find how i can lower my vibration intensity!
Thanks
Unfortunately I haven't rooted in quite a while, you'll have to check out a magisk guide - I generally haven't felt the need in the last few years though.
I don't currently have this ROM installed to check, but I believe Plus did have a way - have you tried searching vibration in the settings menu?
@@FilthyCasualTech yeah, i manage to root via TWRP (live boot to the recovery)..
But, for the vibration the last version of PE or PE plus doesn't have a way to lower the vibration intensity only to deactivated.
Thanks for the tutorial... Your videos are well explained
Glad that you got it rooted, disappointed there isn't a way to tune the vibration though as it feels like such a basic thing.
Thanks for the kind words, appreciate it!
For the life of me, I cannot find a straight answer from anyone regardless of what ROM I attempt to install. Everyone I speak to leads me down a rabbit hole with no exit. How do I get "fastboot devices" to show the device ID? And how do I get rid of the "yellow triangle !" in device manager? I keep getting told to install the google USB drivers but it doesn't fix it. And the Oneplus USB drivers break every time I try to install them. iOS was easy as pie to jailbreak, why is simply flashing a ROM on my Android so much more difficult? Is there some way you can assist?
It's always a bit rough with device stuff
For me, the Google Drivers was the thing that got it working
I take it you've checked over stuff like this: www.thewindowsclub.com/fastboot-not-working-on-windows#:~:text=The%20very%20first%20reason%20is,PC%20using%20a%20USB%20cable.
If possibly I would also see if you have better luck with different cables and a different PC
@@FilthyCasualTech I'll take another shot at it when I get some free time on a different pc. I was using the official Oneplus cable that came in the box with the phone, so that'd be odd if it's part of the problem but I'll see.
@@FilthyCasualTech So I finally got PE12+ Installed, but now the SIM card is not getting recognized at times, or my carrier isn't sure what to do with the device. Guess a trip to the carrier is in order.
I take it it's a carried branded device?
Always seem to see issues with these as they're slightly different
Question?
Call screen works as well on the OnePlus 7 pro? With the pixel experience.
I don't actually recall as it's not something I use.
I can try and reflash PE this week to check, but alternatively you could check out FlamingoOS - I just published a review for that one and it does feature call screening
@@FilthyCasualTech Thank you!
@@FilthyCasualTech I am currently running 12 on my OnePlus 7 pro. Will it still work?
Safest to use the MSM tool and go back to 11, then flash Flamingo
But I have successfully gone from an A12 ROM to another A12 ROM too
Great tutorial.
I successfully install the ROM, but I can´t get the SIM to work for Calls o Network on my Oneplus 8 Pro. Any Advice?
Did you come straight from stock OxygenOS?
Is your Oneplus a carrier device?
It is not a carrier device, but I have notice that I did the installation through stock Oxygen with android 12. Trying to reinstall Oxygen 11, accidentally blocked my phone and doesn't want to turn on. I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the help!
*Advice for someone who wants to install a mod: Do it. Screwing up things is the best way to learn.
You do definitely learn a lot from screwing up - hope the reinstall works!
@@FilthyCasualTech My phone came back from the grave. After the battery died completely, I could access to the phone again and do the reinstallation process. I used "MSM Tool" to go back to Oxygen 11 and then follow your tutorial again. Works perfect now.
Really great to hear that it worked out!
Awesome work! 😁😁
Does the pixel experience have now playing feature?
It does not, there are ways it can be added though

Dude, I forgot to install copy-partitions XXX.zip, what should i do, will it running ok?
if you've managed to get the ROM going, then you're fine.
There is a chance the device can be bricked in the flashing process and the copy-partitions step gets around that
@@FilthyCasualTech THANKS, it's running well, but the volume has been little lower and sound quality is different kind of worse than before. If I have to reflash, what should I do, should repeat the proper way again?
Can't hurt to do the copy-partitions step.
But otherwise yep, sideloading the ROM if you do it again
@@FilthyCasualTech Got it. I'm curious if it will modified mac adress again, or I have to update my mac adress to the IT of the company
Couldn't see a solid answer online, but would lean toward it changing
also will i get ota updates on this rom ?
I currently have the plus software installed - recently got a notification for update just like stock software
Update went through and installed in the background without issue - only thing is it downloads the whole ROM (1.3GB) instead of an incremental update, so takes a little time but works great
It bricked my 7 pro , Qualcomm crash dump mode recovery crashes and I’m getting no connection in msm mode :)
Oh boy - that's a pain 😭
Since you refer to the MSM tool, I assume you've already worked through a bit.
The only thing that comes to mind, is it the PC having the connection issue and not the phone, possibly different cable/port/PC?
@@FilthyCasualTech yep turns out the Qualcomm drivers weren’t working correctly everything is fine now :) I flashed pixel experience on oos android 10 instead of 11 and it worked fine seems like android 11 really does suck.

Unfortunately it's considered a different device
GM1920 has a codename of 'guacamoleg' compared to the usual 'guacamole, and I don't really see much development for this one.
I have tried other roms before and they have installed but the only thing that didn't work was the phone would not recognize the sim card and then no mobile data, is that likely to be the same with this Rom?
Yep, usually due to the radio being different
YAAP has a ROM for 'guacamoles' which is a 7Pro 5G, but not EU - it may work for yours too, but unsure 😬
@@FilthyCasualTech silly Q what is YAAP? Is it a different Rom? I assume as long as I have the original Rom I can revert back to it if this other one doesn't work? I also assume the upgrade process is the same? Unlock bootloader, install magisk or Twrp, flash Rom?
I have a video on loading YAAP here, another custom rom

You don't have to root at all.
Also you shouldn't re-lock the bootloader after install, as it will likely brick your device without a way to fix it
