Edit: Alrighty, my bad. LineageOS has a port for 7, not 7T. The question is not relevant to the 7T forums. sorry about that.
Sorry for the obvious question but seeing as things are changing all the time, I'd like to verify this before purchasing this phone.
I'm basically looking for an easy phone to root, have LineageOS on and be able to record phone calls one.
Looking around Reddit, there seems to be a consensus that OnePlus 7T is easy to root. It also has a LingeageOS port that is in active development.
I'm not buying it in the U.S., I'm not sure what the variant is (how does that work? if it's in the U.S. is it necessarily 'global'?)
The hardware specs reads:
SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus
Processor: Kyro 485
GPU: Adreno 640
RAM: 8GB
What do you think?
I did look at the rooting guides to try and find caveats and didn't see anything obvious.

Rooting OnePlus devices is very easy but where do you got the info about lineageos?

My bad. LineageOS has a port for OnePlus 7, not 7T.

Don't know about Lineage, but the 7T was easy to root.
I used method 3 on the root page (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/guide-how-to-root-oneplus-7t-twrp-t3979307) because I wanted a clean image of my phone. It was a little time consuming, but that was mostly my fault for not closely reading the directions

Ah ok, for root you can use TWRP instead of patching boot.img. It's much easier and also faster.
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Boot TWRP with "fastboot boot TWRP.img"
3. Flash magisk.zip
4. Reboot and voila you have root.
Edit: Don't flash ROMs with TWRP! Magisk works fine!

[UPDATE]
Confirmed to support Treble by "ali ba".
Hello all,
I've read lots of conflicting news about the support status of Project Treble in Nokia 6 (2018),
Can anyone confirm the support or the lack of it once and for all?
Thanks.
Correct me if I'm wrong but every device launching with 8.0 has to support Treble does it not? I guess the problem lies with whether Nokia will provide the ability to unlock the bootloader. I'm not sure if it makes a difference that this is an Android One device in this respect.
Does anyone have an official firmware available for download? I have TA-1054, China version and it seems it has a custom firmware. Thank you.

You're absolutely right, the problem is the Chinese release was on Nougat, and nobody has yet ran the Treble flag test on the international version.. maybe because not so many hands got it yet... We'll wait..
According to the test app it does support Treble, but I'm not sure whether to trust it.
Came with an update out of the box and I didn't check the version before applying it (which would have made that clearer).

Thank you very much!!! finally some useful results, I think we can trust the app, but just to make sure, could you please follow the procedure described in this page.. more specifically the terminal flag test..
https://www.xda-developers.com/project-treble-android-oreo/
Also, do you own the Chinese device or the international one?

Hi, same here. Do you have any news? Have you managed to install unmodified Android to your TA-1054? Will appreciate any info.
Thanks.

Nope, no news yet.
Can someone tell us the difference between all Nokia 6 2018 models please?
TA-1068
TA-1045
etc...
Is there a specific model for 'Worldwide' like Nexus/Pixel?
Is there a Europe version?
...
...
THANKS!
[Update]
Just noticed you actually did just that... Thanks.
I think this is an important topic that deserves it's own thread..
Would you care to start it?, also what models are sold in what markets?
That would be useful.
cheers.
Try to obtain the global firmware of TA-1054. I can provide you with the firmware.
I have two Nokia 6.1 devices. One is TA-1054 and the other is TA-1089. Both Global/International/Made in India version. I have the firmware files. But I doubt, you'll be able to flash them with the Stock recovery in your Chinese Variant. If you want the links, I'll provide you. And yes, Nokia 6.1 supports Treble. And I've recently flashed Android 11 GSI. Well, only issue was unlocking the boot loader to flash custom recovery. I never want to bootloader unlock any other Nokia phone anytime soon.
The TA-10xx naming determines the variant of the phone. The (4 + 64 GB) variant is TA-1089. The values change depending on the ram and storage size. Also newer models for the same phone we're released with Mediatek processors and Snapdragon for different markets. Just like Samsung does, sells the Exynos variant in Asia while selling the Snapdragon variant in US, UK, EUR, etc. Nokia also started doing this with their Nokia 5.1 and 5.3( if I recall correctly, not sure). So those phones have multiple variants. The TA-10XX naming scheme is quite similar to RM-xxx scheme followed by Nokia in the past, when Nokia was owned by Nokia and not HMD. In fact, their shift to TA-XXXX naming suggest that they belong to the family of Android/HMD owned Nokia and not the old Nokia. Even the 3310 (The beast) and 8110 4G have TA-XXXX product code instead of the RM-XXX. It's like a product code which can determine the RAM, Storage and Chipset as well as Region of the device.
So to flash Android R, TWRP or TWRP based custom recovery is required. Then flash any Android 10 Custom ROM with Treble support. Also flash dm no verify.zip with the ROM. Reboot to set up device. Don't add any Google account and password, etc. Then again boot into TWRP, changed to Image mode from zip mode in Install. Flash the system.img from Android 11 GSI.
Then reboot.
Follow the guidelines to unlock your bootloader

If your device came with Pie (9.0) preinstalled. In India, few devices came.

Coming from a OnePlus3, which was easy to root and had tons of ROMs...
If I want the same with the S9, I need to buy the international version unlocked, correct?
Also I saw in the S8 thread that AOSP ROMs are not easily available, or still being worked on but OK for S9?
I'm looking for good hardware that I can root and debloat (titanium backup is a must for me and has saved me countless times).
I prefer the S8 because it is cheaper but not if AOSP is a problem.
Thoughts?
S9 has RMM implemented, long story short its a new feature of samsung that prevents you from flashing custom binaries (TWRP Included) to the phone for the first 7 days of using it.
Once you get your phone, finish set up wizard, connect a google and samsung account and wait 7 days for the OEM unlock button to appear. There are AOSP roms for the device, namely RR and Lineage OS.
I came from a oneplus 3 running AOSP resurrection remix 6.0 to the galaxy s9 a few days ago. I've been flashing phones for many years now, so I'm well versed in initially gaining root/custom recovery. This phone was a breeze to flash. The root guide in the tutorials section of this sub forum was great. Just make sure the usb drivers are on your pc and you follow the instructions exactly. I had resurrection remix 6.0 running on my galaxy s9 (exynos) in 10 mins after opening the box! [emoji106]
Thanks to you both. There are two international (non-US) variants - one with Exynos and one with Snapdragon.
Only the Exynos can be bootloader unlocked, correct?

I'm unsure about the bootloader abilities of the snapdragon variant. I only have the Exynos personally, which is unlockable.

Thanks. I got an answer in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-g9600-bootloader-question-t3795978?nocache=1
There is no TWRP for the snapdragon international variant so I will definitely stay away from it.
Hello, i know im pretty late in the in the rooting and flashing game but this phone is a pretty good phone and i know it can last long holding a Kirin 970 chip, 6gb ram, 128 storage. BUT recently Huawei stopped supporting updates for it and idk why so im asking you fellow modders. How can I unlock the bootloader on this phone? I really wanna try an android 10 os since android 9 is kinda outdated now.

Same as me i was looking for a method to unlock the bootloader like for ever.
Only methods i found are paid ones and they are not trusted.
Hi guys!
I bought a S21 FE 5G and noticed that it seems to let you unlock the bootloader, apparently unlike other Samsung phones? However I have not found a single tutorial on how to install a custom rom on the phone. From what I read there is a TWRP for the phone so I would guess that it should at least be possible to flash some GSI images. Is this correct or is there some reason why there are no GSI instructions for the phone even a year after the phone launched? Maybe some Samsung specific issues?
Any insights are appreciated.

The Treble Check App I used tells me that my Device isnt Supported, but another says that it is.
I used some GSIs on my Device (PE+ and Evolution X) so it is possible.

Hi. What you think can we have some custom rom in the future?
The recovery tools for OnePlus have not been publicly available since the OnePlus 9 series, so development is going to be limited. If you search the forum, there are a few people working on a custom ROM but it's unknown what level of success will be had.
So far, the current options include a GSI which is generic, and doesn't include many device specific drivers, so not all features will work. The other option is rooting and using a Magisk ROM which can make OxygenOS look more like a Pixel ROM and boost customization. Both of these options require an unlocked bootloader.

Yes it will happen, I hope in a few weeks. We're working on it. We did the LineageOS device trees, and kernel is compiling but it's still missing a few modules that make it non-bootable. For my part, I'm very determined, and will make it happen at all costs.
I'm still using my OnePlus 8 Pro daily despite having received my OnePlus 11 Pro. I absolutely LOVE the 11 hardware-wise (the fact it's a Marble Odyssey I imported from India to France helps) but I can't withstand Oppo's OxygenOS.
I'd really like more devs to join to make it happen.
Regarding MSMTools, I haven't tried to hack it, but as an experienced network hacker, I should have a look to it as I've recently learnt it's using auth now.
