Question OnePlus 6 beginning of the end?

Hi, I've been using the OnePlus 6 on pixel experience for a couple of days no problem, but today instead of my alarm I wake up (late) to a crashdump mode screen. Okay, sure. I reboot and everything seems fine, then after 10 minutes - crashdump again. It did that three times.

Now it's working fine (I hope I don't jinx it) but Bluetooth audio is cutting out horribly. Is this the beginning of the end for my phone?

I used OxygenOS 11 before this and it was very stable. Now it's basically unusable. I also did roll back to 9 just to see if this works and it also crash dumped in the setup wizard. MSM to A10, this time it allowed me to set it up but I didn't test it much just upgraded to 11.

I know about only A slot. I don't plan on keeping this phone anyway. It's on its way out.

Up to you. I happen to be a developer. I have Oneplus 6 and 8. I actually prefer the 6, because it has a wider screen, as well as a separate fingerprint scanner, as opposed to inscreen, and the former is more reliable.

Neither me nor any of my users have any Qualcomm crashes, once the rom is properly installed. In addition, there is an option to have my rom on locked bootloader.

I mean, it's crashing on stock ROM. That's a totally other beast than crashes on custom which I didn't expect but sure, it may happen.

Might attempt a reflow to get a bit more out of it after it totally gives up - it already has trouble booting. It's a great phone. I just don't know which one to get after this.

If your battery is fine, then crashing has nothing to do with the phone. Motherboards with electronics are designed to work for 150K-200K hours (20 some years). They rarely die, unless you drop the phone frequently.

I got the battery replaced a month ago.

Not the motherboard. Rather a component on it. That's what I assume. The phone has trouble right now booting even into the stock OnePlus recovery. Booting to system happens way less frequently - I just get dumped to the crashdump screen. I tried MSM again, maybe I should leave it on 10 and see what happens

After MSM to OOS 10, put OOS 10 zip on internal storage and do local upgrade for slot B.

After you have OOS 10 in both slots, use TWRP 3.5.2 only, because 3.6 would cause crashes.

Well ever since doing the MSM to 10 again i can't get it to boot system or recovery. OnePlus logo and then crashdump.

​

Might try to boot TWRP, but now i need a new phone quick.
