Hey,
Sorry for the noob question - but I wasn't able to find anything on this. Everyone seems to take this as it is, but I simply want to know why boot.img is flashed in order to get root and how it affects the phone.
I followed this tutorial to get my Rogers Magic rooted.
What did the boot.img do in this case and can I use Amon_RA's RAv1.1.2 ION Recovery or do I need to flash another boot image in order to use a different recovery.img.
Basically, I just want to know why I do the steps that I do.

Thanks for the reply! I'm still lost though on the whole 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' part.
Is there a specific/best/newest boot.img that I should be using with the Rogers Magic? Are there different ones out there or is it just one standard one?
Hi there,
A while ago I got a OnePlus One which came with ColorOS loaded. I of course googled my way to get the Cyanogenmod and followed these instructions.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDKOEtN9pbo
I'm currently on the 25R firmware and I know there are some updates after that but the phone doesnt detect any update release. I would like to know why the OTA updates are not being picked up from the phone. Was it simply the easy method mentioned above?
I also thought of reflashing it properly and found some instructions on the web.
Code:
Install Android tools (and drivers if you use Windows-crap). You need the fastboot and adb tools
Get http://dist01.slc.cy...ed-fastboot.zip and unpack it
Enable USB debugging on the phone
Run adb reboot-bootloader
Once bootloader started run: fastboot oem unlock
After automatic reboot, do steps 3 & 4 again
In the directory where you unpacked it, run in a console
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash dbi sdi.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash LOGO logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata_64g.img (or userdata.img for 16G version)
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot
These instructions will somehow get the OTA updates working, am I right to assume that this method would rewrite everything and I would lose the recovery software of the ColorOS? Also are the Android tools these?
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Fastboot and ADB, I can use this one right?

Hi scabbie, from the looks of the file its an incremental update. Do I just run it from the OPO with Cyanogenmod? If this is a long tedious method, I would rather do a fresh install and get the OTA updates to work. Also part of the reason I want a clean install is because the phone is acting up and my screen goes black when I call someone and then when I want to hang up the screen is still black and I cant hang up. and physical buttons dont respond either.
I dont know if this incremental update will fix this kind of problem, so hence my option to do some clean install.
Cheers

A toolbox is completely unnecessary, and they're more trouble than they're worth. Plus, nobody learns anything even using a toolbox, and that knowledge is crucial for when things go wrong.

Love the guide you put up, I was having a read through this and I'm slightly confused on your comments. http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...-to-guides-t2839471/post56731494#post56731494
You mentioned just go straight to Section 8, but in the link above you mentioned go through 1-4 then go to 8. I dont think I need to root on section 4 but for 1, 2 and 3, I would like to know, particularly in section 2 and 3 if you can explain to a novice like me. As I'm understanding this, I think the ColorOS phone has some recovery software, thats how I did the easy flashing method thing, so for section 2 your instructions will overwrite the ColorOS one?
For Section 3 the nandroid backup seems like a snapshot of the phone (which includes recovery, phone OS and other things) before installing custom rom?
Please let me know if my interpretation is correct and correct me along the way, I am here to learn what I can, so that I can successfully flash the OPO phone.

I was assuming that because you're on the 25R build of CM11S that you've already unlocked your bootloader and installed TWRP recovery, if this isn't the case then you will need to follow sections 1, 2, and 3 before moving on to section 8.
The phone definitely already has some kind of recovery on it (every phone does), but you do need to install a custom recovery in order to make a backup of your current ROM. It will overwrite the existing recovery when you install it, and then later on when you flash the fastboot images (in section 8) the stock recovery will overwrite the custom recovery. So why bother flashing the custom recovery if it'll just be overwritten? Because insurance. It'll allow you to make a nandroid backup of your current setup to fall back on just in case something goes wrong.
A nandroid is like a snapshot of the phone, but it doesn't include your recovery partition, it includes the /system partition (where the os resides), the /data partition (where your apps and settings reside), and the /boot partition (the kernel). You should always have at least one nandroid on your phone at all times. Personally, I make one before I flash anything, that way if I don't like whatever I'm flashing or if something goes wrong, I can just restore my backup and boot the phone up, and it's exactly how I left it.
After you've made your backup make sure you transfer it to your PC (and anything else important on the phone), because flashing the fastboot images is going to wipe your whole phone, including all of your user data.
If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask.

I see, so even if my phone doesnt have much inside it should still be recommended, because of the listed above are operational and if something were to happen on the newly flashed phone, I have no way of retracing my steps.
So in a hypothetical situation I unlocked the bootloader and proceed to section 2. The recovery software provided when I first got the phone will be overwritten by the TWRP recovery and I will have lost the old one. I will then perform a nandroid backup where I can preserve a last known working configuration as an insurance, if future flashes fail. I assume you restore nandroid backup through the TWRP recovery? Also the nandroid backup is made on the phone? so I will need to transfer that to my PC before flashing?
At this stage all I changed is the bootloader and recovery partition with custom recovery. When I jump to section 8 it should be smooth sailing, provided I follow them clearly and the drivers work on the PC.
I apologise for being a pain in the butt! I just like to clarify before I do something horrible and have no idea what to do next.

You do indeed restore a nandroid backup with the recovery that you made the backup with. And yes it is saved on the phone so you will need to transfer it to your PC. You're not being a pain in the butt, you're doing the right thing and researching before attempting something.
Transmitted via Bacon
Yeah I agree users like you that research crap before attempting something are much preferred over users that blindly use a toolbox then come complaining cuz they messed something up but dunno how to fix it. I always do my research before flashing just like you are doing. Just make sure you install the drivers I linked to computer wide on your windows computer and you should have no problems, no need to install separate SDK for android and copy the files you're flashing into a special folder, etc

Lol really? Did u completely ignore reading the thread that you just posted in??

Hi Everyone!
Because of having issues i can´t fix on my OnePlus, i´m finally asking for some professional help here, as it´s getting more and more complicated and i don´t want to ruin my phone.
What was my plan?
Installing CM11S 44S on my OPO, which had the 05Q Version as factory setting.
Also i wanted to install a franco kernel.
I hoped, if i do both steps successfully, my OPO will have a good battery life (44S seemed to be the most efficient version, according to some forums).
What did i do so far?
First i set up an adb backup for my data, but not for the OS. However, i installed SDK plus tools and drivers.
Next step was installing a new recovery, which is able to flash a new version of CM11S, so i set up TWRP with fastboot, which means my device is "unlocked" now.
Everything worked well so far, i also made an backup in TWRP.
The problem:
I wanted to reboot my OPO at some point and TWRP asked me for rooting my device. Accidentally i swiped over so it started rooting process, but i didn´t want to root it, so i immediately shut the device down.
By now TWRP recovery/fastboot is working, but my OS 05Q is lost and i can´t install a new ROM because im getting the Report:
--
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check; no MD5 file found
Error flashing zip /<path to .zip file>
--
Can anyone help me to get 05Q back or the 44S with the franco kernel?
I know there might be some other threads that deal with similar problems, but actually none of them helped me so far. For example: do i need a fastboot image or signed flashable zips (which i have)? In which order do i install the kernel and the ROM?
Some Information:
I can access my device via fastboot and my OPO is also shown as a adb device on my MAC.
When starting in TWRP, i can also access the device in USB Mode, transfering files is also possible.
I´m not really competent with android modding or programming, so i will need some noob-friendly answers, but i bet you guys know how to help me out here.
Thank you very much for your help, i really don´t know what to do anymore.
EDIT:
I found out how to place a md5 file to the referring version, but it still sais: MD5 does not match.
I´m so done with it right now that i wish i had my OPO back as it was few days ago.
Well, i cant really help here as i have not face this problem but ur mistake was that u Immediately shut the device down the moment it was installing root. It may have corrupted the partitions of the phone and left it at that state, so maybe restoring the partitions of that section may help. Like i said im not knowledgeable about this
Agreed, you shouldn't have shut down the phone while it was modifying a partition. The root wouldn't have mattered anyway because you were about to overwrite the system partition by flashing a ROM. Go to my guide thread and look at section 8 to flash the stock images for the build you desire:

Hello all of you,
even if it is not my watch model, I decide to summarize here a simple and fast guide about how to flash english rom into Shark variant of HW2.
ALL credits to jacklam2005 who point out where to find files, wildlime who gently upload files here, roronono who has find the fast and easy way to get it work.
So here we are:
-make sure you have ADB activated on watch and all files needed on your pc (there are plenty of guides on xda so please search and read it if needed).
-download zip file from here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_ZC_EcYPcnrc0E1b3dMWmZKalE/view?usp=drivesdk (thanks to wildlime)
-you can run it as per word doc instruction inside package, but maybe you will get "Package error" with no result on process. if that, do this steps (thanks to roronono):
-pull out from the zip "HUAWEI WATCH Modem_Update_NXG74I_release.exe", open it with 7zip or similar and take out in a folder those 6 .img files:
bootloader, boot, cache, recovery, system, userdata.
-Boot the watch into bootloader mode
-Use the following commands one by one:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot oem unlock (no needed if you already unlock your watch)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot oem lock (not needed if you want your watch unlocked)
fastboot reboot
done.
Hope this help all of you having HW with sim card slot (shark), once again, credit to jacklam2005, wildlime and roronono for their good job.
Feel free to point out any update about proper firmware here !!

normally the update should be upgraded in command prompt.
and I have never heard that "upgrading port was not found" message.
but you may try to reinstall the android usb driver.
If you get the devices and driver ready,
in the command prompt, you can try to type "fastboot devices"
It should revert back with something like
C:\adb>fastboot devices
TKQ7NXXXXXXXXX fastboot
Then you are good to go with the rest procedure.
If you read better in Chinese, let me know, I will supplement in Chinese and English.

This watch is sold in different region. Although there might be some slight version different between different region, e.g. US/ EU, we are good to use any international / Global rom which supports Google Play. So the major different version for that watch is really the Global/International vs China ROM. China Rom is totally different because Google is not available in Mainland China. And this thread helps to convert a Chinese ROM into Global / International ROM.

This ROM is a very recent rom, so there is still no OTA available yet. However, if you are using un-verified rom, your boot loader will warn you during boot. And this rom is good with the bootloader without any warning. In this regards, I believe this ROM is OTA friendly.

they are from the same source.
Some package may contain un-necessary files that you really DON'T want it.
Please skip those files when you are extracting.
You will only need those IMG files.
I will personally use the download from this link. This file is the original.
However, you will need to follow the instruction to obtain those IMGs.
(Make sure you put it in 4G / SIM card variant only)

Hello, I am trying to root my Poco F2 Pro using Magisk.
I just wanted to the boot.img, so that I can modify it with Magisk, but I can't find the proper one (or... I am not sure whether this is the proper one).
On xiaomifirmwareupdater, I find the right MIUI version (V13.0.2.0.SJKEUXM); but it is the Recovery file, not the Fastboot file :/
When trying to download the ROM via the Phone (AboutPhone/MIUI-Version/Donwload latest package), the file is "corrupted" (I try to open it on my WIndows PC using Winrar, but it says it won't work)
Can someone help me, find the right fastboot ROM file please?
Or any other way, how to get to the boot.img, BUT without using the TWRP (I don't have it)?
Thank you very much and have a nice day
Quick update... I didn't want to risk flashing the wrong boot image... therefore downgraded to MIUI 12 (where there BOTH the Fastboot and recovery file are available).
same problem here, waiting for someone who can help
I will try this found it
in here
nice thank you!
