  1. If I do the fastboot mode, how can i extract all the flash files from the .zip.tar file I downloaded from OnePlus site?

  2. Excellent writeup. That manual method is nuts, I used the MSM tool.

    Headsup, when you downgrade to EU firmware, you can unlock bootloader, the next upgrade, sadly, locks the bootloader and demands a token. I ended up bricking and flashed back to T-Mobile US
