[How-to] OnePlus 6 - Direct upgrade (dirty flash) of /e/ OS from Android 10 "Q" to Android 13 "T"

Edit you posted above while I was writing the following! :slightly_smiling_face:

Before doing anything I suggest you boot you phone into recovery to see what it is.

Boot to Recovery

With the device powered off - hold Volume Down + Power

Use this as a guide [HOWTO] use e-Recovery to wipe & format data before sideloading/install eOS. In this adventure there is nothing to do, you just exploring.

Use https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/enchilada/install/ by all means, but you do not seem to have included the steps to install the e-Recovery.

The reassurance I mentioned is that that is already a match with the date in Android 13 in the image at the very top of this thread.
