Easy Flash to Nougat tutorial:
Prerequisites:
Download RSD lite XML to Batch Script from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651430732235266
Download ROGERS_MPL24.246-45 from https://mega.nz/#!nssGEDiT!hhLkcTM106hmqbH_fiWfAytEV-fgdlYOhUwpcd_sGJY
Download Nougat firmware from https://mega.nz/#!608HGYqB!kKTc1196PhimDtVte6OdCWF6aXSWGSNLToEkvUePymE
Steps:
Unpack RSDLite XML to Batch Script to a folder on your computer
Unpack Rogers 24.246-45 firmware to the SAME folder
Run 2-rsd-flash-flashfile-windows.bat
Batch File #2 will convert the flashfile.xml file (included in Rogers zip) to a Batch file
Run flashfile.bat which will flash the Rogers firmware to your device (WILL WIPE EVERYTHING EXCEPT MICRO SD CARD)
Wait till its done!
Your device should now have Rogers 24.246-45 Firmware.
From the Bootloader, select Recovery Mode.
Select ADB Sideload
Unpack the Blur_Version24.21.46 zip file.
From an adb capable command prompt, enter ADB Sideload <name and location of Nougat.zip> (minus the <> obviously)
This will take time. Leave it alone!

Did you use the Decrypt Patch too for rooting 7.0 or are your phone still encrypted?

I did it and I have root, but I want to make some exceptions. I use the twrp backup of the system file of my post, you can find it here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3510790
Also, if you are stock with unlocked bootloader and you want to keep your recovery you don't have to flash the TWRP recovery, just boot it and follow your steps and you will be root ASAP.
Thank you

You shouldn't have any issues then. DO you get an error when you try to flash Magisk or PHH SuperUser? Does it boot but you're just not rooted? Did you download the PHH Super User app after flashing the Zip? I need more info about your situation.

Thank you bro

Thanks Jonathan,
Installed fine, had an issue with "Checking connection screen" on first boot, took forever. Solution was to eject sim card and try again.
But wifi wont connect, can't turn it on. I had this issue with one other ROM.
Any idea?

Cannot open TWRP mode
Hi guys. I am using Baseband version of C5000ZCU1AQC1.
I have already disabled FRP and CROM. And I flashed TWRP using Odin(success) But right now when I follow key sequence and try to boot into TWRP...
It brings me into Recovery.
I cannot access the TWRP.
What is wrong?
At this point should I wipe cache partition & data and then try updating the custom ROM using sdcard? Because if I try to click 'update from sdcard' it shows me that it is not possible.
Also. How to backup everything without TWRP??? This is so confusing. Since I don't have the same firmware version should I just not risk it? Please tell me.
If it's not possible in anyway I would break this phone in two if not.

hi thanks for sharing .
trying both a and b and says failed.
remoteartition flashing is not allowed

Is there a reason why it says for galaxy a5? xD

Hi.
I can confirm that the above method works. You have to unlock your bootloader first.
Go to About phone -> Build number, tap it a few times until you enable Developer options. In there make sure OEM unlocking and USB debugging is enabled.
Reboot to fastboot (VOL- + Power) and type fastboot oem unlock, reboot phone, turn off and start in fastboot mode and execute first post commands.
It works passing SafetyNet once you finish installing latest Magisk.
Good luck.

when installing the magisk manager ? before patching, like any other apk ? also, no need of regular magisk ?

After executing all commands from first post if you check ROOT status it will be OK but SafetyNet will be broken. Then install magisk from inside Magisk Manager, the recommended way and is will pass it.
At least it worked like that for me.
Good luck.

ok, but when we are installig the magisk manager?..as it is an APK - so have to install it like any other application.. but when ? before or after executing the commands ?

After everything from first post.
Inside Magisk manager you have the button Install no other apk.
Good luck.

magisk manager ask for .img ? but where it is located ?

You must unlock your bootloader first. Follow my previous steps.
After that, reboot, you will see an message when booting from Linux system. It's normal.
Follow steps from first post here.
After installing magisk manager, entering fastboot and patching boot image, start the system and after that, install magisk from inside magisk manager.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.

ive rooted my phone beforehand, will this method still work?

Here is a easier process if you really want to check if the boot.img is compatible:
First enable OEM Unlock in developer settings
- Reboot to fastboot (volume down + power)
- fastboot oem unlock (won't wipe)
- fastboot boot patched_boot.img
- After Android finishes booting, install Magisk Manager.
- In Magisk Manager, use Install and install the latest Magisk with Direct Install
- Reboot and you're done

Is the patched boot.img compatible with Oreo stable? The patched boot.img says it's for Galaxy A5, that's creepy.

Capacitive button fix
Some people have the problem of missing capacitive buttons. The reason for this problem is not flashing a recovery but probably because something during firmware upgrade went wrong.
I made a custom kernel which should fix the capacitive button problem. This kernel also allows disable of SELinux with setenforce command.
ONLY for OREO
New: Proto8 kernel includes my capacitive fix. Download it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/kernel-proto8-kernel-t3780551
Old method with kernel compiled by me (not recommended, use Proto8 kernel instead):
Download kernel
B360: http://www.mediafire.com/file/6n1wfbxtp09orda/KERNEL_B360a_TOUCH_FIX.img
B362: http://www.mediafire.com/file/c6yayg8sp2tvach/KERNEL_B362_TOUCH_FIX.img
B366: http://www.mediafire.com/file/opc9ilg6x5uzyvk/KERNEL_B366_TOUCH_FIX.img
Flash with fastboot.exe flash kernel KERNEL_BXXX_TOUCH_FIX.img
Reboot into android and check capacitive buttons (enable them in settings if necessary)
Flash stock kernel again if you want

After flashing and used this TWRP the capacitive buttons and camera flashlight are still working?

Yes I am B360 to be exactly, and I can confirm that rooting with Magisk works perfectly, buttons and flash keep working and safety net is not triggered.

Well tried to do a backup of my system and noticed that it failed to mount /system.

It can't mount rw, read only works as expected.

Via custom recovery:
Download the latest Magisk zip file
Reboot to a custom recovery and flash the flashable zip
Reboot to system, and check whether Magisk Manager is installed and the version matches the latest one in the OP
If for some reason Magisk Manager isn't installed/upgraded automatically, please install/upgrade it manually!

Edit:
It can't mount rw, read only works as expected.

Does TWRP need system rw for backup? Anyway, Huawei added write protection in memory controller. So in order to mount system rw, a custom kernel is required. If you need it I can compile a custom kernel. Note that recovery and system have the same kernel now in Oreo.

To be honest I am not sure, you can back up without a problem (system) but I needed a few tries to restore but it worked. But I can't back up data.

Data backup in TWRP does not work because the data decryption is not officially supported by TWRP.

Yeah, should work

Ok, i've flashed this TWRP, buttons and flashlight still working. Flashed Magisk v16.0. Root works, but SafetyNet is triggered.
------- EDIT -------
After reboot, SafetyNet now is not triggered! :laugh:

It works, thanks!

If i remove Magisk and flash SuperSU NetSafety will be triggered? In a future a flash of stock rom and a total remove of root will turn off SafetyNet or it will be triggered forever?
A working version of SuperSU with this TWRP and Oreo B360?

New version released. Fixed native decryption now and backup of /data should work properly. Let me know if it's working.

The Infinix Note 8 is based on Mediatek Helio G80 chipset, hence you must install Android USB Driver suitable for this chipset.

Back Up....Back up!
activate OEM unlocking in Developers Option and use this file to unlock.

Disable DMverity or flash the IN8 with empty vbmeta(img) before rooting!!!! to prevent bootlop....
then use magisk manager to root, google the procedure......
install magisk apk to IN8
copy boot.img from your back up firmware to IN8 (or get from hovatek)

You don't need to. However if you use newer boot kernel and you've formatted the /data partition on that kernel, it will became unreadable in TWRP. This is sadly an intended behaviour of F2FS. You need to unmount the /data partition before quitting TWRP to avoid corruption.
If your boot kernel is older (or the same), those won't happen and you still can access the /data partition normally

how to make normal again help me
