How to enter flash mode

To enter fastboot, press Volume Up+Volume Down+Power. In initial boot stages, this doesn't work: in Poweroff/EDL mode, it must be pressed for about ten seconds, then enter fastboot only with Volume Down and Power.

Installation

Prerequisites

To make OTG and Wi-Fi work, specify these additional packages: linux-firmware-ath11k,firmware-oneplus-instantnoodlep,linux-firmware-qcom. Note that OTG only works with a USB hub that has external power.

Before flashing anything, pull the super partition from a root adb shell. This is important if you want to return to Android: 

$ adb root
$ adb pull /dev/block/by-name/super super.img

Installation guide

Using the downstream kernel is discouraged. Choose mainline during pmbootstrap init. 

$ pmbootstrap install
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_dtbo
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel

Uninstalling

To return to Android, convert the stock super partition to a sparse image and flash it with fastboot: 

$ img2simg super.img super-s.img
$ fastboot flash super super-s.img

USB

The device runs perfectly fine on the newer mainline kernel (e.g., 7.1.0), but there are a few hardware quirks related to USB-C hubs, Power Delivery, and external networking.

Ethernet adapters

When using a USB-C Hub with an Ethernet port, Realtek network chips work out of the box and provide a stable connection. However, hubs utilizing the ASIX AX88179B chip (commonly found in newer UGREEN hubs) do not function properly under the current kernel configuration and should be avoided.

USB 3.0 and plug orientation

Due to missing Type-C multiplexer (MUX) endpoints in the sm8250 device tree, the hardware cannot programmatically switch the SuperSpeed pins if the cable is plugged in upside down. As a result, USB 3.0 (5Gbps) will only work if the USB-C plug is inserted in a specific orientation. If inserted upside down, the port will fallback to USB 2.0 (480Mbps).

To check the current orientation, run: 

cat /sys/class/typec/port0/orientation
  • If the output is reverse, your hub is restricted to USB 2.0 speeds. Unplug the cable, rotate it 180 degrees, and plug it back in.
  • If the output is normal, USB 3.0 is active. You can verify this by running lsusb -t and looking for 5000M at the end of the hub's tree branch.

Power Delivery

If you reboot the device while a USB-C Hub is connected and externally powered via a PD (Power Delivery) charger, the PMIC controller might retain voltage on the CC pin. This causes the orientation detection to get stuck or fail (reporting reverse or falling back to USB 2.0) even if the plug is mechanically in the normal position.

To fix this:

  1. Unplug the PD charger from the hub (killing power entirely).
  2. Unplug the hub from the phone.
  3. Wait 10 seconds for the capacitors to discharge.
  4. Plug the hub back into the phone "dry" (without the charger).
  5. Check /sys/class/typec/port0/orientation to ensure it says normal.
  6. Reconnect the PD charger to the hub.

Known issues

Wi-Fi/BT not working on v6.11

On sm8250-linux v6.11, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are broken. This is due to an issue with the DTS of this device. A MR has been opened and will be merged soon: in the meantime, you can edit your boot.img as follows:

  1. Clone the patched kernel and compile the dts: 
    $ git clone --depth 1 -b sm8250/v6.12 https://gitlab.com/denvit/sm8250-linux/
$ cd sm8250-linux
$ make dtbs -j $(nproc)
  2. Extract the original boot.img: 
    $ mkdir /tmp/firmware
$ cd /tmp/firmware
$ unpack_bootimg --boot_img $PMOS_ROOT/chroot_rootfs_oneplus-instantnoodlep/boot/boot.img --format=mkbootimg
  3. Copy the newly compiled dtb and re-pack the image: 
    $ cp ~/git/sm8250-linux/arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sm8250-oneplus-instantnoodlep.dtb /tmp/firmware/out/dtb
$ mkbootimg --header_version 2 --kernel out/kernel --ramdisk out/ramdisk --dtb out/dtb --pagesize 0x00001000 --base 0x00000000 --kernel_offset 0x00008000 --ramdisk_offset 0x01000000 --second_offset 0x00000000 --tags_offset 0x00000100 --dtb_offset 0x0000000001f00000 --board '' --cmdline 'clk_ignore_unused pd_ignore_unused  pmos_boot_uuid=d86a5f31-2802-4333-b5aa-ff8a59e4d66e pmos_root_uuid=efbc85d5-1ba9-45ff-af90-1eecd5235327 pmos_rootfsopts=defaults' -o boot-repacked.img
  4. In fastboot mode, flash the image and reboot: 
    $ fastboot flash boot boot-repacked.img && fastboot reboot
  5. Verify that the chip is now working again: 
    $ ip link show wlan0
4: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:ca:fe:ba:be:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
