How to install

DANGER:
For OOS12 based build the required firmware is C.33-C.36 IN BOTH SLOTS! DO NOT SKIP THIS!

NOTE:
- OnePlus 8 users can dirty flash from OOS12 to OOS13. The required firmware is included in the ROM.
- If you are currently on OOS11 it's better to unlock bootloader before updating to OOS12. For unknown reason some devices cannot be unlocked in OOS12.

• Working brains, common sense, lots of coffee
• Latest platform-tools
• Google USB driver
• Developer options enabled: Settings -> About phone -> Tap Build number at the bottom seven (7) times
• ADB enabled: Settings -> System -> Developer options -> USB debugging
• Required images: boot.img, vbmeta.img, vbmeta_system.img and recovery.IMG (put these in the same folder with platform-tools)
• Get images from SourceForge
• ROM zip (put it in the same folder with platform-tools)
• Unlocked bootloader

Let do it

1. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode
2. Open cmd and go to the folder where platform tools are (DO NOT USE POWERSHELL!)
3. Enter the following commands by copypasting one by one:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

4. Reboot your phone to recovery mode, click “Install update” -> “ADB Sideload”
5. In cmd enter command:

adb sideload Nameless-AOSP_xxx.zip

6. Wait until your device shows Step 2/2 and back arrow appears. Click back arrow, then click “Factory reset” -> “Format data/factory reset” -> “Format data” (custom ROM on OnePlus 8).
