Dualbooting Android and Windows 11 ARM64 (OnePlus 6T, EDK2-SDM845 V1.1)

Описание к видео Dualbooting Android and Windows 11 ARM64 (OnePlus 6T, EDK2-SDM845 V1.1)

All the information can be found in this description.
As of V1.1.1, right-clicking via touch works for the OnePlus 6 series.
The OnePlus 6T is one of the more better supported devices in the Renegade Project.

In Android, there is something called A/B partitions. These are mainly used to perform seemless updates. When an OTA update comes through, the system is written to the partitions that you aren't on (i.e. if you're currently on slot A [system_a], it will write to slot B [system_b]).

What you see here is that Android 10 is on slot A and Windows 11 is on slot B.. kind of.
Slot B really has EDK2. This helps make it possible to boot into operating systems that are ARM64. In this case, Windows 11 is essentially set as the default operating system to boot into.
TWRP has a way of switching the active slot. So does EDK2. So effectively, we can switch between systems. And yes, you can also change the active slot via fastboot.

This was put together by using the TWRP recovery image linked to in the description as well as the appropriate commands for the storage configuration I have from the following video:    • HOW TO: Install Windows 10/11 on OneP...  

The guide mainly followed is from this video:    • Dualboot Windows & Android on OnePlus 6T  

If you go ahead with this, make sure you have OxygenOS 10 installed first, as the TWRP recovery image involved is able to format with NTFS . Otherwise, you may get a Qualcomm Crashdump. If you are on OxygenOS 11 (or were, but then went with a custom ROM), downgrade using the MSMDownload tool (ensuring it has the OxygenOS 10 build with it). Google it. Before installing the Qualcomm drivers, ensure you have driver signature enforcement turned off or otherwise the phone will not be picked up correctly while in EDL mode.
Make a backup of your data before proceeding. And before doing any partition changes and formatting in TWRP, make a backup of the following partitions and keep them extra safe (just in case mobile connectivity or network breaks): DTBO, EFS (especially that), Modem, Persist.

Oh, and while in Windows 11 or WinPE, do not format any partition as NTFS or you'll likely need to use MSMDownload tool to unbrick the device (you will be stuck in fastboot mode and fastboot would fail to write to any partition -- even 'fastboot boot' will fail).

Use of the MSMDownload tool will wipe the device (excluding the crucial partitions). So again, make a backup.
