    Hey everyone,

    We are very thrilled to announce the very first Android 11 Beta as part of the Developer Preview Program for the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. We've been tirelessly working to provide early access to the latest flavor of Android to all OnePlus 8 series' users.

    OnePlus devices are some of the most developer-friendly phones out in the market. By providing access to Android 11 at an early stage, we enable app developers and other early adopters in our community to start creating even better software experiences. For more information, please refer to
    https://www.oneplus.com/os/developer-preview/android11

    As the name suggests, this build of Android 11 is best suited for developers and other advanced users, as it is still in an early stage of development. That said, we do not recommend flashing this ROM if you have little to no experience in software development or flashing custom ROMs, or if you expect to use the device as a daily driver. Proceed at your own RISK!

    Known Issues
    1. All data will be cleared while flashing the build
    2. Face unlock is unavailable
    3. Google Assistant ("OK Google") does not work
    4. Video calling does not work
    5. Certain UI screens look less than desirable
    6. Some apps may not function as expected
    7. System stability issues
    Caution!
    You should understand there is a risk of BRICKING your phone, read the instructions carefully and be 100% sure of what you are doing. Please always backup your important data before flashing.

    Please note:
    1. These instructions are only for the OnePlus 8 series. Please make sure the battery level is above 30% and a minimum 3GB of storage space is available.
    2. The OnePlus 8 series carrier devices (TMO/VZW) aren't compatible with the Developer Preview builds.

    Hi guys,
    since many people liked the written detailed rollback guide when we had the Android 10/Q Preview last year, let's just throw this one in for 2020 as well! :)

    Sir, how do I go back to Android 10?


    Prerequisites
    • internet connection

    Steps

    A:     Take a backup of your stuff. Everything will be erased once you flash the rollback build, so do a backup of your nudes before doing anything.

    B: Download the rollback build that fits your device.
    If you are opening this from the Community app, you will get a white screen when you tap a link. On that white screen, tap the three dot menu and choose "Open in browser".
    This will start to automatically download your file.


    C: Rename the file. (The reason for this is that the rollback build, for some reason, is downloaded as a JAR file, while the updater needs it to be a simple ZIP file.)
    Go to the File Manager app and navigate to the downloaded rollback build.

    For example, if you are a European user with an 8 Pro, you should rename OnePlus8ProOxygen_15.E.17_OTA_017_all_2005100255_downgrade_2d24414aaa814738.zip.jar to → OnePlus8ProOxygen_15.E.17_OTA_017_all_2005100255_downgrade_2d24414aaa814738.zip
    (Just get rid of the .jar extension)

    [​IMG]​

    D: Move the file.
    The official guide says "root" directory. What is this? Well, doesn't have anything to do with rooting your device.
    It's just the thing that you see when you open the File Manager first. Here you see the "root" folder:

    This is where your file should be placed.

    E: Flash the rollback build.
    Follow these steps to get there. Your last chance to backup all your stuff, just saying! ;)
    • Settings
    • System
    • System updates
    • Gear icon (upper right corner)
    • Local upgrade
    • Tap the file

    Thanks for reading, hope I could help a person or two.
