I flashed the cos13 signed full ROM thru twrp 3.0.2-3 by tugapower. After successfully flashing it, I noticed that my recovery goes back to cos recovery, twrp was gone and also rot access. Halp halp halp. :crying:
Hi,
I suggest you to do this :
- Boot your phone to the OS => Settings => Developer options.
- untick "Update Cyanogen recovery", tick "Advanced reboot"
- long press on the power button, the boot menu will appear and then, press reboot => reboot to bootloader.
- the phone will enter in fastboot mode
- download an official TWRP image (prefer the latest one) => https://dl.twrp.me/bacon/
- put the downloaded file in a adb or minimal adb folder and than flash it to your phone though fastboot commands
Bootloader unlock.

You can download the required firmware I mentioned there:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/how-to/nokia-6-ta-1000-homebrew-stock-android-t3752006
PART 1: Preparation
1. Install OST LA 6.0.4 and patch it. DO NOT INSTALL OST LA 6.1.2 I MENTIONED BEFORE.
2. DO FULL BACKUP, DO FULL BACKUP, DO FULL BACKUP!
PART 2: Downgrade bootloader
If you're running Android O that comes from OTA Update, that means the bootloader must be downgraded before downgrade your phone to Nougat.
If you've already have old bootloader, skip this part.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To downgrade the bootloader, you need to download this OTA package:
https://ota-filesite.c2dms.com/SWUpdate/500000748
To prevent from FIH removed this OTA package, I mirrored this OTA package.
You need to enter stock recovery manually.
Power off your phone, then connect your phone to a charger.
When you see the charging logo, press and hold Volume Up and Power key.
If you see "No command" displayed, release both keys, then press Volume Up while holding Power key. This will pop up a menu.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In some cases, you may get stuck at stock recovery.
Pick "Install update from ADB", then use adb sideload command to push this OTA package to your phone.
Code:
adb sideload D1C-331G-0-00CN-B01-331F-0-00CN-B01-update.zip
After this update installed, your phone will reboot once, then get stuck at recovery. Your bootloader has been downgraded now.
PART 3: Install homebrew "Stock" firmware
Download the firmware from the link above.
D1C-331G-0-00CN-B01.7z - Nougat 7.1.1 with December 2017 Update
D1C-332A-0-00WW-A01.7z - (Hong Kong/Taiwan Variant, Full Google Play Service included) Nougat 7.1.1 with July 2017 Update
D1C-5210-0-00CN-B03.7z - Oreo 8.0.0 with January 2018 Update and old bootloader
D1C-5550-0-00CN-B02.7z - Oreo 8.1.0 with March 2018 Update and old bootloader (made from leaked OTA)
Extract the firmware archive into a new directory, for example, I extracted it to D:\D1C-331G-0-00CN-B01.
Open OST LA from INSTALLATION DIRECTORY DIRECTLY. Load the mlf file in extracted directory.
If your phone get stuck at recovery, pick "Reboot to bootloader", then connect your phone to PC.
If your phone is already powered off, just connect it to PC directly.
Click "Next" if it's usable. Otherwise, click "Edit Phone Information", after "Boot FTM Mode Fail" prompts, you can click "Next" now.
This will flash the firmware to your phone. If the procedure unexpected interrupted because of your phone doesn't cooperate properly (e.g. Your phone suddenly reboots to OS), close the OST LA, then press and hold both Volume keys and power key to force power off your phone, then flash it again.
When the progress bar is going to complete and your phone is booting (NOKIA logo is displayed on the screen), the flash procedure is already completed.
In most cases, if your phone prompts md5 checksum fail after flashing, this is also expected. You can close OST LA, unplug the phone, then reboot the phone with [Volume Up] and [Power] key.
PART 4: Full userdata erase
If your phone can boot into OS normally, skip this part.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Because the encrypt algorithm is different between Nougat and Oreo, you must do full userdata erase or the phone will get stuck at NOKIA logo.
Enter Download(Fastboot) mode again with the method you're familiar with.
Open OST LA, load the firmware, then click "Edit Phone Information".
If you've already know how to obtain the service permission, you can just type this command instead:
Code:
fastboot oem dm-verity (md5 checksum of your phone's serial number)
Then type this command:
Code:
fastboot format userdata
You also need to flash TWRP to do another format procedure, which the procedure I've given in this topic:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-custom-recovery-root-t3702354
After you enter the recovery, tap "Wipe" (清除), "Format data partition" (格式化 Data 分区), then type "yes" to proceed.
NOTE: Root package included in recovery isn't compatible with Android Oreo.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can reboot your phone to the OS now. If the phone get stuck at Powered by Android logo, just do PART 3 again.
I successfully sucessfully fw (Oreo) through OST 6.0.4 and have installed TWRP on Oreo.
But the Root package does not work.
I'm testing with the zip install package via TWRP as the MODs for example (Emoji package, Font, ...) Hope it works.
I can't flash your firmware "Nougat 7.1.1 with December 2017 Update"
stuck on writing md5, what's wrong ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can use a text editor (do not use notepad) to edit the md5.dat, and modify the checksum to expected checksum displayed on the phone, then flash again.
I'll reupload the correct package soon.
anyone tested on t 1021

Hi, i have Oreo 8.1 install in my ta 1003, initially it was a ta 1000 but i did flash the ta 1003 rom after down grading the bootloader with help of another thread. I want try out this Home brew rom and am not sure how to go about. The ta 1003 has issues with the network, like the VoLTE option is not working.
I cant get to stock recovery manually, I tried holding power and up volume but still not working. I'm using TA 1039 with Android 8.1.
What should i do?

Sorry, just one question.
If the TWRP already has those partitions decrypted, can the userdata partition be safely restored after updating from Nougat to Oreo?
does anyone have the OTA package backed up? https://ota-filesite.c2dms.com/SWUpdate/500000748 doesn't work anymore

Hello
After updating to Android 9, I lost dm-verity command and TWRP. Fastboot says it's an invalid command now. Help?
Edit: Okay, flashed old bootloader and got dm-verity back. Unlocked bootloader, now am stuck on recovery, won't boot to 7.1.1 OS. Help?
Our devices have been updated to Oreo by HTC, that was a good new since there are many reports and claims from the End Users that was an unstable update, so how to downgrade to a stable Nougat version, here is the way:
[IMPORTANT]
TESTED ON HTC U Ultra DUAL SIM (INDIA - SEA VERSION) and S-ON DEVICE ONLY with UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER, BUT THIS MIGHT WORK ON OTHER VARIANTS
I. PREPARATION
1. HTC Sync Manager for drivers: http://www.htc.com/us/software/htc-sync-manager/
2. ADB and Fastboot, u can use the latest version of Minimal ADB and Fastboot:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 (thanks to @shimp208 for this great tool)
3. Stock Nougat RUU:
https://androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=164315 (thanks to @sardroid for RUUs uploading)
or for the tested device, this RUU has been used:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754465286 (thanks to @minhnewpro for uploading this)
or the latest 1.64.400.10 for Dual SEA - India I have just found
https://vnrom.net/2018/03/rom-stock-ruu-zip-cho-htc-u-ultra-ocean-note/ (original link to support to the RUU publisher)
4. Latest version of TWRP recovery:
https://twrp.me/htc/htcuultra.html (thanks Team Win for this popular and useful TWRP)
5. The most important, HTC Version Tool:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ubjDGNqCfIply-aRN8C7IQNb-YVkD4M7/view (thanks to @sabpprook for this super super great tool ^^ )
II. DOWNGRADING TO NOUGAT
1. Install HTC Sync Manager, ADB and Fastboot tool, extract HTC_Version_Tool.exe and copy it and twrp to your adb and fastboot folder
2. If your device's bootloader is unlocked, ignore this, if not
- go to https://www.htcdev.com/
- register for an account and then follow the site's instruction to unlock bootloader
3. Reboot your device into download mode and flash TWRP by opening cmd at your adb and fastboot folder and type:
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-1-oce.img
4. Boot device into Bootloader mode then boot to TWRP recovery
5. While your phone entered TWRP, open cmd, type:
Code:
adb devices
to check if your device is recognized
6. Once your device is recognized, open HTC_Version_Tool.exe
7. Type the version of the RUU that you are going to flash at new version line, for example, mine is 1.64.400.3 and press enter
8. Rename the RUU file to 2PZCIMG and REMEMBER TO KEEP .zip EXTENSION, then copy it to the root folder of SD Card (External SD Card is recommended)
9. Reboot your device into download mode, press Vol+, then press Power to start flashing 7.0 RUU
10. After flashing, your device can boot into Android but no signal or IMEI received, dont worry, continue these steps
11. Reboot into download mode, reflash TWRP, then boot to TWRP
12. At cmd windows, type
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist
13. Reboot device to check if IMEI received
14. If IMEI received, you should reflash stock recovery from RUU.zip, but reflash the RUU is recommended.
If not, try to format the persist partition manually again (step 12)
15. Done
And at last, I want to say big thanks to @sabpprook for helping me a lot to downgrade the device and @paulpier007 for HTC U11 downgrade method which gave me the idea for downgrading our U Ultra (https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/how-to/guide-downgrade-htc-u11-oreo-to-nougat-t3754481)

Yes, because U Ultra won't re-build persist partition while rebooting after wipe it, therefore we need format it manually

Available ROM & Download Links
The variants sold outside of China come with the Global ROM including Google Apps.
For devices that have the Official Chinese ROM, it's only possible to flash the Official Global ROM after you unlock your device due to region mismatch.
OTA or recovery zips can be flashed in the official MIUI updater app if it matches your region) or if you're unlocked, you can flash through TWRP whatever you want.
Fastboot ROM can be flashed by using fastboot or the XiaoMi Flash Tool.
ROMs:
Recovery can be flashed through the Updater app on your phone (if locked, china can only flash china, global can only flash global) or better through TWRP Recovery (if unlocked, can of course flash any region over any).
Fastboot can be flashed by connecting your phone through USB and use XiaoMi Flash Tool or fastboot.
Custom ROMs can be flashed by TWRP (if unlocked)

TWRP by xiaomi.eu and miuiItalia
The first versions are from xiaomi.eu and miuiItalia and aren't able to read encrypted internal storage. If you want to flash something with this TWRP you need to format your internal storage then copy the file over in MTP mode and flash it. So you loose your storage all the time. No problem when you want to cleanly flash new ROMs, but annoying when you just flash magisk, mods and other things.
Download TWRP polaris by xiaomi.eu
Download TWRP by miuiItalia
TWRP by notsyncing
notsyncing's version is able to work with encrypted storage. You need to enter your pin or draw your lock pattern in order to work. Switching between different ROMs like Chinese/Global/Custom you most probably still need to format your /data, but when you stay on the same ROM no need to wipe or format.

Guide: Install Google Apps & Contact Sync on Chinese ROMs
Chinese ROMs don't contain Google Apps. Especially if you didn't unlock your phone you probably want to install Google Apps and Framework:
Download the Oreo Google Apps package: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818222786056028173 and extract it on your phone
Install every APK from 1-6 without opening them after installation!
Install 8.0-Oreo.com.google.android.gsf_8.0.0-4147944-26_minAPI26.apk
Don't inistall the remaining two APKs
Download and install the updated contacts sync 8.1.0 APK: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-contacts-sync/google-contacts-sync-8-1-0-release/google-contacts-sync-8-1-0-2-android-apk-download/
Go into Settings > Installed apps and find all Google Apps in the list. Select each of them and turn on Autostart Permission. Additionally go into Permissions and enable all permissions in there. Again: Do this for all Apps you've just installed or that have the name Google or Contacts or Calendar in it.
Reboot your phone
Login to your google account, by opening Settings > Sync > Add Account > Google

Requirements:
Unlocked bootloader

Setup after first boot needs to be completed in Chinese. Then afterwards changing the language to English is possible
Steps to install: Download Android P for Mi Mix 2S: http://www.mi.com/en/androidppreview/
Guide: Unlock bootloader
On your phone, login to your Miui Account, if you don't have an account, create one. That's under Settings > MI Account
Enable developer mode on your phone, under Settings > My Device > All Specs > Tap on MIUI version 5 times until the toast notification tells you that you're a developer
Go into Settings > Additional Settings > Developer options > Enable: OEM unlocking, then go into MI Unlock status and "Add account and device". (If you get an error messages, you need to use a VPN app and connect to a city in Mainland China, like Beijing)
Download and run http://en.miui.com/unlock/ the unlocker app on your computer, login with your MI Account. The first time you may have to apply for Unlocking permissions with your MI Account. The SMS confirmation code they send you may take several days to arrive. Please be patient and don't try to unlock your device before.
After you got your SMS confirmation code, enter it in the unlocker application on your computer and connect your phone via USB
Try to unlock your phone.
Sometimes Xiaomi will now force you to wait for up to 360 hours until you can try again to unlock. This is annoying, but you have to wait. Otherwise your account may be blocked.

use the fingerprint:

And boom, pass safetynet after a reboot
Info: You can enable developer mode, turn on USB debugging and use ADB on your PC instead of the terminal on your android. After installing Minimal ADB & Fastboot on your PC, search for the link in your start menu and open it. A black CMD window should appear where you can type commands after you connect your PC with your phone, and allow ADB on your phone. Then enter:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell

Enable Google Maps Location Sharing & Location History on Chinese MIUI ROM
You need Magisk properly installed on your ROM and then download & install the module: Unlock CN GMS
Google Camera with HDR+
Some modified versions of Google Camera may allow to use HDR+ with the Mi Mix 2S. For some these may work:
defcomg-fix_OP6v0.3_MGC_5.1.018_FINAL_3.4A.apk
As the modders keep creating new fixes, you should try out new versions from here regularily and see if HDR+ works and the portrait camera works.

Thanks for your effort. About the quoted part i don't think it will work by following this steps. People in this topic tried without success: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/how-to/global-stable-rom-link-t3786717
It seems the proper way is the one it follows:
teddy74eva said:
I've just tried it and the bootloader has to be unlocked, otherwise the phone will not boot. But thanks for your guide, I have succesfully installed Global, many thanks so to sum things up, to install Global rom you need to:
Unlock your bootloader
Flash TWRP from Xiaomi.eu
Flash Global from first post and WITHOUT rebooting flash region fix from carburano's guide
Now you can reboot to system

I think, he never test his guide himself... the rom is the same as in the other link here from italian guy and it is not an fastboot rom. So i wonder, how he flash this file with miui-flash... so i think, he never had flash this.
I've ordered the 8GB-256GB model and it has the Chinese ROM, can I flash the Global ROM regardless of bootloader status etc.
Well this time xiaomi forced me to wait for 360 hours before i can unlock, even though my mi account has unlock permissions since 2016... So i can't yet validate anything.
Thanks for your input. I'll adapt the guide

Right now you can't flash with locked bootloader. Maybe it will be possible when Xiaomi releases a fastboot rom. According some users this rom release will be in the next few days.

I suggest you to unlock it too. After ROM installation you can lock it again. It seems it will not be possible to flash with a locked bootloader even for an Official Rom.
