Qualcomm EDL - Could this be the point of entry to Root and/or BL Unlock?

Found this series of blog posts that describe the Emergency Download Mode (EDL) on Qualcomm-based mobile devices.
This thread was made for us to discuss the possibilities around this mode and what benefits could we achieve for our phones.
I have not read them completely yet, but there is a mention of a Secure Boot bypass exploit against a Nokia 6.

xiomi EDL mode does allow to PUSH Twrp after altering the FASTBOOT ROM,
if Nokia is providing Fastboot roms then may be!
it doesn't unlock the bootloader! its just push Twrp so that you can flash modes to disable dm varity and magisk

Yes, it works but on Nokia5 and Nokia6 models only. Most of newer models does not switch to EDL mode. The question is still open: how to downgrade October SP to July to have ability of bootloader unlocking and rooting?

You have some choice to downgrade
Flash firmware via ost tool,ntool
Flash system via fastboot
If want root... Can use patch boot of trisi... Now nokia 8 more easier

I have no choice because I have updated to Oct. SP, my boot is locked and no possibility to roll back or atleast unlock bootloader. So EDL - is the only way to roll back to happy times with the root, freedom and customizing.

Before July update, YOU got unlock.key,
Then after septemer+ , before Pie-version, did you trie to get the second bootloader-unlock.key? because they changed bootloader? and also I am not sure if they givve away again from oreo and officail app a new unlock.key?
I don't dear to try out, fearing not getting anymore unlock-keys from hmd, need to secure more information.
I am trying to get a new key via official app but it is telling me that google play service isn't installed, although I downloaded open_gapps-arm64-8.0-pico-20190327 and was flashed via twrp and restored to original stock and still the official app is complaining about no play services when I am logged in to google-account inside the phone.
FYI: I donwngraded to oreo 8.0 and for experiment purpose I am trying to test if I will get a new key.

Thank you for replying. My problems are now gone, because I have recieved an official new bootloader unlock key. Now I have 2 keys for old and for new firmwares, so now I can flash anything I want with no fear . I downgraded to Android 7.1.1 and dont want to update any more. Now waiting for custom ROMs.

[TA-1021] How to Install/Boot TWRP 3.2.3-0 (modded) for Pie and Root it

/!\DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK/!\
Recently, Nokia made us happy by fulfilling their promise to update our Nokia 6 to Android Pie. It's very exciting until you find out there is no way to root or even use TWRP on this device when Pie is installed.
Worry not, I've found a way to install TWRP and root our Nokia 6 using Magisk. Follow the guides below!
/!\ WARNING! This process requires you to unlock your Nokia 6 bootloader first. Bootloader unlock isn't officially available nor supported yet, so it is paid and MOST LIKELY you would have to downgrade your device first to Oreo with older security patch to unlock it (which requires more cash)
OK, if you are ready, proceed to next two threads for TWRP installations and root
=====================
Required files download:
• TWRP 3.2.3-0 patched for Nokia 6 Pie

> To install (replaces the stock recovery)
=======================
/!\ TWRP installs on today standards' phones are strongly discouraged by the community. To be safe, always mod your Android device when your modding companion devices - be it a PC or a laptop, are nearby and connectable to your phone. After all, it's up to you to install the TWRP or not. /!\
=======================
• Download the TWRP image from the link provided in the OP.
• Put your phone into fastboot mode
• Use the " fastboot flash recovery recovery_mod.img " command
• Done!
> To just boot (preserve stock recovery)
• Download the TWRP image from the link provided in the OP.
• Put your phone into fastboot mode
• Use the " fastboot boot recovery_mod.img " command
• Done! It should be booted to TWRP now.
/!\DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK/!\

• Root guide (untested) •
• Download both the Magisk Manager apk and the Magisk installer zip from the link in OP. Place it into your phone's internal storage.
• Install the Magisk Manager apk (you have to install the Manager first)
• Boot into TWRP (guide on above thread) or reboot to recovery (if you flashed TWRP, again the guide is on above thread)
• Back up your boot partition first (strongly recommended, but not mandatory)
• Flash the Magisk installer zip
• Wipe dalvik and cache, if needed.
• Reboot

welp, i already said it's the safest to just boot to TWRP via fastboot than flashing it into your phone, so you can test it whether if it's booting before flashing.

Can I use this on my Nokia x7.

Help: how to unlock bootloader?
Hey Bro just guide a little bit, I know how to go back to Nougat/Oreo from Pie. after going back to Nougat can I unlock my bootloader simply by using this command 'fastboot oem unlock' or I will have to buy bootloader?

Nope you can try methods to unlock bootloader but i will suggest you to buy bootloader key from techmesto .
I have purchased the key from techmesto then i unlocked my bootloader. you can run this command to unlock your phone's bootloader.
Fastboot flash unlock (key.bin)
Then fastboot oem unlock-go

Workaround for CMI Mi 10 Pro 5G Global Custom ROM & Root eg MIU 12

There is a problem while rooting and installing TWRP recovery on the MI 10 Pro 5G (German-Version ROM Global). If you try to install TWRP you will not be able to get into the recovery. If you try (Vol up + Power) you`ll only able to start the MIU-Recovery.
Also I got some problems to get google pay to work, but this way works for me.
Before we start the disclaimer " I'm not responsible for any damage / bricking / ... If this way fails on your phone"
How to install MIU 12 EU CMI to get Dual-SIM, MIU Phone-App,...
You need:
- an unlocked boot loader
- a working ADB on Win / Mac / Linux
- TWRP I took this one HERE
- a custom ROM I took the weekly EU-ROM because I want Dual-Sim, the regular MI-Caller and the other cool stuff. You could find it HERE take the one for MI 10 Pro!! Alternativ MIU 12 ROM (tested)
MIU 12 EU stable Vers: 12-10 get it here
1 Step:
connect your phone to your computer and copy your "new" ROM to the device
2. Step:
Power off phone > hold Vol down + Power and reboot in Fastboot-Mode
3. Step start TWRP in a different way
fastboot boot "link to your TWRP Recovery"
EXAMPLE: fastboot boot C:\Users\neunzehn\Desktop\ADB\TWRP\recovery.img
now you boot TWRP from you computer without installing, so if anything goes wrong you are able to plug of and reboot in Fastboot.
4. Step flash ROM
DON`T UNPLUG YOUR PHONE!
choose your preferred language in TWRP and flash the ROM you put on the Phone before
5. Step
Reboot your Phone.. it will stuck /reboot (don't get nervous let it happen for e few times)
Press " Volume up + Power" you get the MIU Recovery choose " Wipe Data"
6.Step
Wait that your phone boot is complete , in my case it tooks 10 Min... after that you got your Custom-ROM
How to root without losing Bank-Apps, Safety-Net
You need:
- an unlocked boot loader
- a working ADB on Win / Mac / Linux
1. Step:
connect your phone to your computer and copy your Magisk v20.2 to your device IMPORTED only use Magisk 20.2 you can get it HERE
2. Step:
Power off phone > hold Vol down + Power and reboot in Fastboot-Mode
3. Step start TWRP in a diffrent way
fastboot boot "link to your TWRP Recovery"
EXAMPLE: fastboot boot C:\Users\neunzehn\Desktop\ADB\TWRP\recovery.img
4. Step flash root
DON`T UNPLUG YOUR PHONE!
choose your preferred language in TWRP and flash the Magisk.zip you put on the Phone before
5 Step reboot
Reboot your Phone. After Reboot start the Magisk-App and disable "automatic-update / search for update" and make the safety-net test.
Done...
PS: In 8 years of flashing I never have seen this behavior, don't ask me why this is actually the best way to get a stable CR on your phone. I tried this way on 3 MI 10 Pro 5G bought in Germany (Telekom, Media Markt, Ebay) with the awful Global ROM
CREDITS go to: XDA and MIU for ROM and TWRP
Article UPDATES:
06/25/20: Link to TWRP was broken > corrected
06/27/20 added workaround to root
07/02 added stable 12 MIU EU-ROM (all languages are supported)

Interesting, must then be specific to the German edition of the phone as I didn't get this with my (Global) Mi 10 Pro !
Following your description it seems as if flashing TWRP does not work, what are the commands you used ? It should be "fastboot flash recovery <twrp_file.img>"....
As an idea: what would happen if you boot TWRP as in your step 4, then copy the TWRP file to the phone and install TWRP from TWRP ?

Thanks, nice to know, i even got my phone from mediamarkt in germany.
Could you please tell me, is the phone encrypted after you've flashed Xiaomi.eu?
AND, is google pay working?
thx

You have to encrypt it at the first boot via your MI-Account , Yes Google Pay works for me and also Postbank, Moneese, and im able to "disable" the Exposure Notification Framework ( the discussion on SWR / WDR / NDR in Germany about GPRD / Security of the Covid-STuff)

it's been like this for years now, just google "twrp replaced by stock recovery xiaomi reboot" you'll find lots of reddit posts of this happening.
i only do this once when buying a new device so sorry I don't remember exactly which one but there are two ways to reboot after installing the recovery and one of them prevents the device from overwrite the recovery, if I remember correctly
1- run "fastboot reboot" and hold volume up
2- hold power and vol up until the device reboots and boots to recovery
on another note, this section is for development not tutorials and general discussions

Won't happen if you follow my guide. My friend in Switzerland tried it with the Global Mi10Pro without issues

Thank you neunhzehn77 !!! U saved my day
Now folks let me tell you something...
I´m not new to rooting phones anyway and i did try several ways to get the xiamomi.eu custom rom on my Mi 10 Pro.
I failed every single time.
Then asking neunzehn77 for specific help on my flashing situation in a private chat.
This guy explained to me some of the "super-partition-features-issues" and cleared his guide for me.
What can i say... i truly folled his guide step-by-step and i´m now on xiaomi.eu beta MIUI 12 rom in no time.
And again thank neunzehn77 for saving my MIUI-Rom-experience for good.:victory:

If you follow your guide, you will lose essential-stuff like some Banking-Apps, Google-Pay,... and some more. I tried your way on a "German MI 10 Pro 5G" and get random boot-loops... maybe there is an unknown difference between CN ,EU, Global Versions. I don't know... for me your guide isn't working... but maybe that's a way for CN/US bought MI`s
In my case its better to leave the Super-Partition untouched, to get unwanted effects.
Thanx for sharing Mate...

Thanks for this valuable feedback. I have to put up a warning for EU users then.
Can you remember what exactly it was that lead to errors or problems? And which TWRP did you use? xiaomi.eu's modified one or LR.Team's?
Also, how exactly did you flash magisk?
On my CN CMI I also had all these problems, when touching the super partition. That's common as soon as you modify the super partition: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/twrp-and-system-problem.56103/
Do you remember what exactly you did differently from my guide in order for you to make it work? I could incorporate that into the AIO Guide on XDA.

Hello, does your friend in Switzerland have 5G working ? I happen to be in Switzerland too (carrier : Sunrise), everything works smoothly but 5G... Thanks for your answer.

AFAIK all custom ROMs based on CN, so no 5g..

@neunzehn77 I have a question for you. I just unlocked the bootloader of my Mi 10 (yes not the pro, but the principle is the same). I bought it through Orange in Belgium and it is the Global version, I suppose it must be similar to yours. I see that you didn't format or wipe when flashing a new ROM and all other guides I find do format /data. Isn't this necessary when going from the official ROM to a Xiaomi.EU ROM? The problem with your workaround would then be that the ROM you put in your storage would be gone. I am used to flashing Oneplus devices, but this is something else... It really confuses me.

Hi, I'm on the verge of trying to flash xiaomi.eu ROM on my Mi 10 (Global - Belgium) and rooting it afterwards. The problem is that I'm a bit afraid of getting an error or a bootloop and not knowing how to recover from it. I'm not familiar with Xiaomi because I always had a Oneplus device before. How did you fix it? Did you format /data like other guides suggest? Or did you just "dirty flash" xiaomi.eu on top of the stock ROM like in this workaround guide?

No no.. when you switch to custom you have to start all over. So wipe and format(make cloud backup ?)

I used the latest LR team TWRP (3.4.2B wzsx150 from june 23) and it worked out fine with my global (European) version of the Mi 10. So this workaround is not needed anymore I guess.
1) I fastboot flashed this TWRP version
2) Booted to TWRP
3) Formatted /data
4) Rebooted to TWRP to be able to acces the internal storage
5) Transferred and flashed the Xiaomi.EU stable build of August 10th
6) Rebooted to system.
Everything is working fine, I am rooted using Magisk 20.4 with some modules and even swift installer is working great.
Cheers

just remember, on android 11, you cant use normal magisk 20.4.

Android 11 Red Magic Rom [FLASHGUIDE]

Hello again!
I saw a post where leipnacht provides a link to the public beta of Android R. (I let you here a drive link to download it faster).
I flashed it and it's working properly on my device. There is some bugs, but the most part of the things works without problems (Personally, I didn't face any bug itself (only a low noise with the vibration by the moment), but there are some comments in the page of bbs nubia about some problems with other things.
The previous conditions from where I update to Android R Red Magic Rom were using a GSI in the Android 10 chinese version of the rom. So, the steps I followed are:
1. In the recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik. Also, format data.
2. Flash in the Android 10 TWRP the Android R rom.
3. Flash this NikGapps Package , Magisk Debug and DFE (Encrypt disabler in order to be able decrypt data in the recovery). I also flashed Permissive_5 but I think there is no need to do it.
4. Boot and enjoy.
I will attach all the files and some screenshots for those who want to take a see to the rom. Personally, I feel no changes in this version, but, as always, the performance is great and it runs really smooth. It's a beta version, so I hope more changes in the future.
P.D. In order to get safetynet passing, I used HideProps Config magisk module. There is no big issues with it, and everything is fixable
P.d.2. This rom has antiroll-back active, so if you want to go back to previous version, you will have to use the unbrick tool

Hello again!
I saw a post where leipnacht provides a link to the public beta of Android R. (I let you here a drive link to download it faster).
I flashed it and it's working properly on my device. There is some bugs, but the most part of the things works without problems (Personally, I didn't face any bug itself (only a low noise with the vibration by the moment), but there are some comments in the page of bbs nubia about some problems with other things.
The previous conditions from where I update to Android R Red Magic Rom were using a GSI in the Android 10 chinese version of the rom. So, the steps I followed are:
1. In the recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik. Also, format data.

Thanks for the update.
I have been planning to upgrade my Red Magic 3 to Android 10 (CN rom) for quite a while now. And its good to know A11 beta has arrived too.
Have you tried fps games on this device like pubg mobile, cod etc? Do they work properly ?
Also, I haven't even unlocked bootloader on my device. Can you proivde a better guide, to completely switch from global rom (stock) to A11 (beta) or A10 CN rom (stable).
Need links / guide for following items -
- Unlock bootloader
- Link of working twrp and steps to flash (should I change recovery after installing this beta?)
- Gapps and Magisk link (As I can't run this device without Google services).
It will be a huge help for me to get started.
Take your time with it (no rush).
Thanks in advance!!!

Hey!
No problem at all. I let you here two guides to migrate to the cn rom and even a gsi
Be careful and aware about what you are going to do, It's not specially difficult but you have to get ready all the files and tools in case of brick or bootloops.
Enjoy the flashing!

Thanks for the links. I am planning to update to stable A10 version for now.
I have few questions it be a huge help you could clear some of my doubts -
1. After unlocking bootloader I have to install TWRP (for gapps to run). So should I install TWRP after flashing CN rom ? or before ?
I am asking this because I read in some guides that only CN rom is custom recovery capable.
2. If you have run A10 stables before, does OTA updates require to be installed via TWRP only ?
Will I loose Gapps and Root access if I updated the ota directly from settings? And will every rom flash with TWRP clear my installed apps ?
Thanks in advance for helping!!. ??

Well, I will go in order:
1. You have to flash first in the stock recovery the Android 10 CN rom and then flash the custom recovery. There is no twrp avaible for global rom. Once in the custom recovery, you can flash Gapps and Magisk (in android 10 there is no need of DFE file, the recovery is able to decrypt data properly.
2. You don't need to get worried about OTAs, there is no a constant software update work by nubia for this device, but in case of update, you would flash the rom from the offcial page, with magisk and gapps again and be sure you keep the custom recovery.

Oh! Didn't expect that. I just post this for Red Magic 3 device users. I don't know how RM3S actually works. Have you tried the unbrick tool from chinese version? Or just flashing the global rom from recovery is enough?

Wait is there a chinese unbrick tool cn. version for red magic can you provide me a link.. unbrick tool 3/3s.global by jerry is not working anymore if you got brick by android 11 beta rom...

Let's see. Here is a link for Red Magic 3S unbrick tool. Download the non-eu ones.
If you have a Red Magic 3 with Red Magic 3s software, I will provide you the link to the other unbrick tool.
Also, you can try flashing the global rom from the stock recovery included in the package of the A11 rom that you have download.

So then, It's not a problem of the unbrick tool, that is actually working properly. The thing is that you didn't know how to do a correct process to migrate from cm rom to global...
The first thing you should do is reboot the phone into fastboot mode (power+vol. Down). Then, connect the phone to the PC and type the next commands in the cmd:
Code:
fastboot devices
in order to see if your device is being recognized
Code:
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J
to unlock the bootloader
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
in order to make your phone able to boot with a modified software. In the moment you will enter this command, you will see a screen advising you about your data (it'll be erased once you accept to unlock flashing).
After that, you can reboot your phone, that will show you an screen advising you that the bootloader is open. Accept and continue without problems.
Tell me if you have been able to make your phone boot.

You idiot EMUI 10 cannot be bootloader unlocked, downgrade to EMUI 9.0!!!
If you want android 10 or even 11 you need something called a GSI, which I can inform you about it.

that what i was thinking also, so bye Emui 10 for ever i guess.
what was the rom base on android 11 you are referring to ?

GSI Project treble rom.
The definition is https://source.android.com/setup/bu...tem image (GSI,or higher can run successfully.
Google's Offical GSI will not boot on huaweis though.
After unlock bootloader download this https://github.com/phhusson/treble_...v300.l/system-roar-arm64-aonly-vanilla.img.xz
use 7zip(https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z1900-x64.exe) to extract the file once and rename it to system.img and move to C drive WITHOUT under any folders.
Then go to recovery and factory reset, do not advance wipe, wipe>factory reset only
Then go to fastboot and
fastboot flash system C:\system.img
Failing to follow will result in rage!

Backup System, Vendor, Data and Internal storage in TWRP before doing anything will be a wise choice, in case anything is wrong.

Forgot to mention you must flash magisk in TWRP before installing rom, to disable AVB(Android Vertified Boot) so that a custom rom can be loaded.

Yeah for sur, i'm rolling back, unlocking BL then TWRP in order to get a full backup. I ll check the rom after that
A senior member refer to for EMUI 10 upgrading :
"Don't update system via OTA when phone is rooted or bootloader unlock. Flash firmware via erecovery and rooted again"
i think this is incorrect right ? he cant root again while on EMUI 10 ?

well i'm stuck with twrp not decrypting my data
i managed to install TWRP (several version), boot on them and so nothing to do
also can get root easily and magisk as i sideload zip from crypted TWRP version (worked)
tried the version twrp_clt_0.1.img from XDA stuck on TWRP starting screen
i'm almost giving up

Extract Android 11 Gsi, rename to system.img and move to C drive , not under any folders.
Go to fastboot then
Fastboot erase data
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash system C:\system.img
