first of all, i was a rooted user since a long time, but the recent january patch gave me a hard time, so i went through a lot of testing and here are those, if anyone can help me.
I was having MagiskSU.
1. by uninstalling MagiskSU and getting back to stock recovery, i was able to install the october patch OTA.
2. Installed Magisk again, then one day i saw another OTA (this was the january security update), so i followed my previous steps, again uninstalled magisk and went back to stock recovery, but it gave me a status 7 error.
3. I copied the update.zip, tried to flash it manually from recovery, it said error in /sideload/package.zip, status 7.
3. i reinstalled the stock ROM, repeated everything, again i was able to accept the october patch. this time i backed up the october boot.img and restored it before installing the january patch, but same error. i tried to modify the zip file by removing the system checks, but it didn't allow me. Can anyone tell me what is so special about January patch that it simply doesn't get installed?
P.S. I finally gave up and reinstalled stock and all the patches, without root.
Try installing stock recovery. Download the stock firmware for your device from XDA. Unzip. Flash the stock recovery.img using fast boot. Then download the update and let the device do all that is necessary.
P.S. you need to completely uninstall Magisk. Flash the uninstall Magisk.zip (available from Magisk thread at XDA) before installing stock recovery.
I own a non-Verizon unlocked pixel and I am currently on the June security update with TWRP and Root. I found out how to update to the June update from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/how-to/guide-how-to-install-june-security-t3617536. Is is safe to repeat the same process as the above thread for the August update or is there a different way to install the update? Has anyone tried to install the August update and retained root?
Yes that method works, but instead of doing this manually, download the factory image august, open the flash-all script and remove the "-w" from last line (so it will update everything automatically without wipe).
After may, the verified boot signer is useless, so you don't need it.
-flash factory
-boot to twrp
-install twrp
-flash root and/or kernel
-reboot
Everything works fine here.
Awesome, thanks!
Hey here I will share OTA for our NB1 to flash with stock recovery and sdcard method.
If I'm right it will work.
Pls try and report.
Download zip file,
Copy to external sdcard
Reboot to recovery,
Choose update from SD and press power button.
I will start with June security patch.

Will work with sideload too, right?
hi
2WildFirE will this update patch can use and support for Nokia 8 TA-1004 Dual sim, i'm from malaysia region...
Unluckily it errors when installing on an unlocked phone....I unrooted it fully, rebooted to recovery and it errors always. Should I relock the bootloader to install OTAs?
No, you do not need to block the boot loader. You need to flash the previous full update 4.88B. And then upgrade to OTA.
I am already on 4.88B (rooted with magisk). No modification has been made on /system partition. I uninstalled magisk and rebooted: in theory that should be enough but in practice it does not work....

It won't if this is block-based OTA as Magisk modifies boot partition (with Android kernel and in A/B case recovery too). Quote from Android official documentation: "block OTA handles the entire partition as one file and computes a single binary patch".
Sure, but I uninstalled magisk thus restoring original boot partition before trying to apply OTA...

does this firmware are support for Nokia 8 TA-1004 dual sim...??
End of the story: I reflashed the full 4.88B OTA update and immediately after the new june patch: it always gives an error. Tried to install the june patch by OTA, and it errors in the same way. I have the doubt that the new patch is allowed to check the bootloader and if it founds it unlocked, an error arises. Anyone confirming that?

Ok, I assume that noone had problems in updating to the june security patches with an unlocked bootloader, so there must be a problem with my device......
Ok I managed to update to june security patches with this file......Had to reflash both slots (A/B) with the full june camera update (4.88B), then I updated through recovery and it worked. Glad to tell that the system is fully tested and working.
No news about July security patch?

How did you do it ?
im kinda stuck here

Any Ideas ??:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

have you tried switching slots? it sure wont solve the issue stated but it may restore the usability of your expensive brick :laugh:
Code:
If you are currently on slot A, type this: fastboot --set-active=_b
Or on slot B type this: fastboot --set-active=_a
No Switch with locked bootloader ?
Nothing work on fastboot with locked bootloader....
issue solved using OST LA 6.0.4
So as the official bootloader unlock broadened the audience of this from tinkerers/developers to basically everyone I thought this guide might me helpful for some...
PREREQUISITES:
- Unlocked bootloader (official or unofficial)
- latest magisk manager installed on phone (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases)
- latest fastboot and adb binaries from google(https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools)
- latest twrp.img to boot (NOT FLASH), zip not needed (https://eu.dl.twrp.me/NB1/)
- Fully stock partitions (if you do not have this reflash latest stock via ostla), as OTA updates will do a integrity check.
- PC with WIN/OSX/LINUX with USB port^^ (on windows you might have to add .exe to the commands)
- disable automatic system updates in developer options, as you will still have to manually root the updated partition, so this makes sure you don't miss it. You still get notifications on available updates and can apply them easily(as you will see)
SETUP_STEPS:
1. Go into Magisk manager and "just download" the latest zip
2.1 Run
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
or reboot into download/fastboot mode via other means
2.2 Run
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-NB1.img
(change this when your version of twrp differs)
2.3 Flash the .zip magisk downloaded in 1.)
2.4 Reboot.
Congratulations you now have root!
STEPS_TO_UPDATE:
1. Go into Magisk Manager -> Uninstall -> Restore Images
2. Apply Update, DO NOT REBOOT YET
3. When step to finished and it promts you to reboot go into Magisk Manager -> Install -> Install to inactive Slot
Congratulations you can now reboot and will have an updated Android while keeping full root.
ALTERNATIVE GUIDE (without twrp, using prerooted boot.img)
(works for newest patch level, where twrp isn't working yet)
this guide works on newest patches as long as someone provides a prerooted boot.img.
So basically you either need a boot.img available or twrp...
Hopefully this helps until TWRP is compatible with September Security Patch
LINKS:
stock boot.img: (may to october patches)
https://cloud.vault81.de/s/fnoizKwi8kNF3Rg
prerooted boot.img: (may to october patches)
https://cloud.vault81.de/s/AeHiE5HR2qonb3N
PREREQUISITES:
- same as above minus twrp
- patched/prerooted boot image (either create it yourself or use link provided here)
STEPS_TO_ROOT:
0.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
or get into download mode otherwise
1.
Code:
fastboot boot NB1_prerooted_boot.img
1.1. The phone will boot into an temporarily rooted state,
2. Use magisk manager-> Install -> "Direct Install" to persist the root.
3. Reboot
Congrats you now have root even on versions where twrp isn't working yet....
Edit1:
Added link to all stock boot images from may to october security
Edit2:
Did the same for magisk prerooted
Edit3:
Added November images thanks to @czupyt
TWRP isnt working right now so whoever updated to September patch cant do anything except unlock bootloader. Unless someone can pull a boot.img from the newest patch so we can all patch it through Magisk and get root.

I can try to do that once I get back home tomorrow...
I have working magisk on september patch so I should have both prerooted and Stock (cause Magisk backups those)

That would be much appreciated. Alot of people who just unlocked bootloader cant root and the maintainer of our TWRP will take a couple of days
indeed

Simple Solution: A/B Partition System.
One Slot is the September Update, the other is August Update.
Update to September, Unlock, witch to other Slot with August Update, Boot Offical TWRP 3.2.3-0 (-1 not booting tho).
Now you can Install the Install Zip for the August BL and Magisk.
Bootup and use Magisk for Inactive Slot.
So did I, but I'm still on August Slot, I'll try to root the September Boot Partiton, and Install TWRP later when Fix arrived.
But rooted September doens't seem very... Stable

I'm already about to install the September patch again. I downgraded to May so I could root my phone and provide the clean boot.img from the stock September so people can root without twrp. And honestly A/B partition is still new to me that I still don't understand it

A/B system is not Complex at all. It's just having 2x a Partiton Group (Boot, System, OEM and Recovery I think) and having the ability with Fatboot to simply switch between group A and group B.
You Inital Set up Partiton A (Nokia did for us with Nougat 7.1.1). If you Update, the Update will be extracted to Partition B, aftzer finishing you reboot to Partiton Group B, leaving group A untouched in Case of Error on Partition B.
That's it pretty much.

No I get that but its just that I forget cuz this is my first phone with a/b partition. Anyway I got the phone to latest patch rooted so I'll see if I can get the untouched img

On what step? Was it after you completed the guide? Or did the patched image not boot already?
If the patched image worked but it din't afterwards, you should reflash the stock_boot.img and redo the guide again because you probably flashed twrp and broke your bootloader...
As you can see in the prerequisites this guide requires a stock bootloader to start.

So did the prerooted Image Boot?
If so it basically has to be your boot/system partition(I had mine compromised too and couldn't fix it with just flashing boot.img had to reflash everything via ostla)
If even the prerooted Image didnt boot im sorry i don't really know how to help, as I have working root with Magisk on September patch and the Image boots just fine for me....

Also you could Switch slots to revert back to august Patch and use the normal twrp guide then... And run the September Update via the magisk method

Hey everyone;
My Nokia TA-1004 is on the July SP (4.88B_SP02) with unlocked bootloader (unofficial method), TWRP and Magisk installed.
Where can I find a stock boot.img to flash? I tried flashing the boot.img on this thread and although I can boot fine my wifi will be broken (I tried and had to restore nandroid backup). I also tried following the guide here but my OSTLA won't get past "Flashing Service Bootloader".
Any help?

Flash the full Stock build (i think its even may patch), via ostla (https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...ia-8-official-firmware-links-updated-t3678487), then follow this guide then reapply all updates by following the update steps...
So which file do I have to download from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1t64iHuQQjmMnzcujZtjYplh6ipbiF6Cw ? I tried with the 488B one and got stuck on "flashing service bootloader"...

Hello guys!
Something wrong happened with my blujay, I need ur help...
So here's the complete story:
1) since december I didn't have OTA update, I don't know why, and the system was telling me it was outdated everyday but up to date in the update menu. so I decided to download the latest OTA bluejay-ota-tq1a.230205.002-1ec64b58.zip and apply it.
2) that worked nice, it booted up updated to this version. But proposed me another security update to get me to march 2023 security update.
3) Allright, security update done, but without root. So I donwloaded the full image corresponding to the OTA i made, bluejay-tq1a.230205.002-factory-1b04ccc9.zip, extracted the boot.img, patched it with magisk 26.1, then flashed it through fastboot.
4) this is where things get naughty, I had bootloop. I imagine this boot.img was correponding to my OTA update, but then another update was done, and the boot.img was wrong for this one.
5) I tried to reflash the patched and original boot.img, same. I tried to reapply the OTA, same, still bootloop.
6) I just tried to patch the full image, removing the -w from the flash-all.bat to not wipe my data (the whole point is that I can't loose all that), and still the same, I have a screen from android recovery saying it cannot load the system and proposing me to wipe, which I don't want.
What should I do ? Save me please!!
You updated from the Feb 2023 patch to the March 2023 patch in step 2. You then downloaded and patched the Feb 2023 boot.img file and applied it, with the system being at the March 2023 update. This is where the issue is. You need to download the March 2023 image and flash the boot.img from this. It is possible though, that you are at the April 2023 patch if you did this very recently.
