If you are rooted, it wont boot and go to erecovery with a prompt that your data partition was damaged. You can give it a go

It applies to both. SuperSu and Magisk. I am rooted with SuperSU. There is already a thread on Magisk which states for this. And being a SueprSu user for years, I have seen this myself on my BLN-AL10B375 to B379 and BLN-L21C185C360 to BLN-L21C185C365.

Just remembered I updated via dload...sorry...my fault...maybe thats why it worked.
But thank you! I will try the b368 with your guide!
I'm a bit ashamed now?

In repository thread you will get on main page or last 2-3 pages. @RedSkull23 has shared it.
Yes, dload replaces stock boot and recovery so that will work.
Been gone through many ups n down with 6X so i know many things now
No need to be ashamed, these are tricky and sometimes hard to remember as we try 10 things at a time

Got a weird problem. If i flash this boot.img for 365 I can't enter my phone. It boots up, i can enter my pin, but the encryption password doesn't work! It's very strange, cause I've never changed it since first setup! Any idea? Or do you have another boot img for b 365? Thanks

My boot.img provided in repository thread is for BLN-L21C432B365 build, as listed in OP and in my post there; what's your build number? An unmatching build could be the cause of this. For example, recovery for BLN-L21C432B365, differs from BLL-L21C130B365 - the B365 at the end is equal, but the build variant is different and so incompatible

My buildnumber is exactly the same. Very strange. Can an installed busybox be responsible for those things?

Team MT's Huawei Multi-Tool – Works with Honor 10 !

Hey Folks,
I recently stumbled upon Team MT's quite useful Huawei Multi-Tool – but didn't find anything about it in the Honor 10 Forum although it's compatible!
First of all I have no connection to Team MT at all, so this thread is just about the usefulness of the Tool and what you and I might experience using it.
Also I'm not responsible for any damages/issues caused by this tool.
The tool might come in handy for people that are uncomfortable using cmd/terminal commands or get confused too easily.
Of course there are still a lot of things that could go wrong so if you're not sure what you're doing or what the consequences might be, just don't flash anything.
To use the Multi-Tool, you'll have to have your bootloader unlocked and the phone connected to your pc with adb installed.
When the tool shows you the (right) phone model in the lower right, you're good to go.
With the help of the Multi-Tool, you can
ROOT your Honor 10 with Magisk
flash TWRP
flash STOCK RECOVERY
unlock various small features
All with just a few clicks.
You can download it at Team MT's website:
http://pro-teammt.ru/huawei-multi-tool/
I for instance used it to flash the stock recovery after I had installed TWRP, so I could get regular OTA updates through the system again.
I'm curious to see if there are other people that have used the tool as well or what people that just heard of it now will use it for.

Is an unlocked bootloader required for the tool to root the phone and flash custom recovery?

The Stock recovery just appeared inside the Multi-Tool, where I was able to download and flash it, I didn't download or back up anything beforehand.
Isn't there some dropdown menu where you can choose the recovery to flash?
I've been flashing it onto my COL-AL10 AND my L29, so it works either way.

Flashing from CN version to Global questions

Hey guys,
Im quite new to android and all that comes with it regarding flashing roms. Now i've had the mi mix 3 cn version since october and been wanting to flash to the global rom ever since. So far i have unlocked the bootloader only on my Mix 3. Now Ive started doing some experimenting with an old one plus 1 device of mine before i fully try it on my mix 3 (and **** it up) and so far been able to unlock bootloader and install twrp. But it seems i cant get through the rooting part because every time i download supersu.zip (on my mac) it doesnt actually show as a zip file. So when i copy/paste it into the oneplus directory and try to install through twrp, basically nothing happens because its not a zip file. Is the solution as simple as: " i should just download the same file using Windows??"
Magisk:
in order to root my my Mix 3 and Oneplus 1 i need to install and run Magisk. But after installing it and opening it, it always says 'Magisk is not installed" and under that "Magisk Manager installed".
Question 1: How to fix this.....
Question 2: Do i need to root my Mix 3 in order to flash the global rom?
Currently running MIUI 10.2 Stable 10.2.2.0(PEECNXM)
Many thanks!

Safari unzips after downloading. You can disable it in the settings I think.

You do not need to root your device to flash it to the Global ROM. Unless you need root for something specific, I would suggest forgetting about TWRP and root and using fastboot to flash to the Global ROM. You can find the fastboot flashing guide, here. Click on fastboot, read the instructions, download the correct fastboot image for the Mi Mix 3, unzip it, boot your device into fastboot, connect it via USB to a Windows based machine, and run the flash_all.bat. The device will reboot when finished.

Thanks!

Ok thanks! Will definitly check it out. However i would like to get twrp working as well even just for the sake of it. But every time after i do the "reboot flash recovery rocovery.img" cmd it keeps booting into either the normal OS or into fastboot mode. Ive read about installing the force disable encryption zip file but how do i install that if i cant boot into twrp?

Which TWRP are you flashing? When I was attempting to root my Chinese Mi Mix 3 running the GLobal Stable ROM, it was very hit and miss getting TWRP to stick. I couldn't get fastboot reboot-recovery to work for me so I had to power the device off after flashing TWRP and then hold Volume Up and Power until it vibrates again to get it into TWRP.
To root in that particular situation (Chinese device/Global ROM), you need to flash this region hiding thing right after you flash root. My device kept bootlooping so I gave up and used fastboot to debloat the ROM, which took a few minutes compared to the almost hour I spent on trying to get TWRP to stick and try to get the device rooted. This is one of my many gripes with Magisk root and how inferior it is to Chainfire's discontinued implementation.

Final stage!
Ok so my last post can be ignored as i was finally able to boot into twrp and also installed magisk so now my device is rooted.
I have now uploaded MIMIX3GLOBAL_V10.2.2.0 PEEMIXM into my phones directory.
Now before i install it thru twrp.... Do i need to wipe/erase/clean my phone first? Or can i just install it without doing so?
Many thanks in advance!

You can dirty flash it. It's just a minor update. The current beta will bring some new features though, once it is released in the next stable version.

ok fair enough. However I have a situation now... after installing the process goes into a loop after selection china as region. The last small message it gives is "find device quit unexpectedly" and then it loops for 5 minutes untill it boots into recovery mode. Here i can only choose boot system (which will go into the same loop again), wipe data, or connect to MIUI assistent...
What did i do wrong?? Did i flash the wrong rom?

When cross-flashing, clean/factory reset is always the way to go. With TWRP though, there seems to be some sort of region options not changing issue. There are a few ways to work around it I personally never bothered with, but I have flashed two Chinese devices via fastboot with the Global Stable ROM and haven't ran into the region issue at all.

Fastboot is the bootloader. Once you boot your device into the bootloader (Volume Down + Power), you can use ADB through the command prompt to flash TWRP or just flash the Global ROM properly. This thread on it is still very relevant and useful.

My MIX 3 stuck in bootloop with any custom ROM but MIUI ones

Hi. For some reason, I'm not able to make my phone working with any custom ROM but MIUI ones. I tried the guides about flashing the 9.5.9 first, flashing the firmware but still, every time I flash a custom ROM (with flash result 1 in TWRP) and I reboot into the system, the phone keeps rebooting quickly after displaying only the MI logo. Apparently it shows that there isn't a valid firmware installed, but I followed the guides with no success. Any advice? Thanks!

Hmm, unofficial twrp 3315 by mauronofrio?
Which device variant do you have, china or global? And device code name are perseus(4g)?
I suggest make a clean flash (without relock) with miflashtool, then install any new EU rom, after that try flash RR, with these step nothing could go wrong.

Try last global beta 9.6.27, its the most stable with new feature, even better than global stable.
Then install any eu miui10 rom newer than 9.6.27, after that install custom rom.
Remember to boot up after each install, not necessary to complete set up, just boot up to welcome screen.

you saved my life

Even though the thread is quite old I have exactly the same problem with no suggestion here in the forums working to fix it
Can anybody please help me getting this figured out. My goal is to install the Pixel experience Rom for perseus (non 5g) posted here.

You MUST FORMAT data partition when you install anything from stock roms. It should boot after you format, and I'm not saying with the rm -rf option in settings if you have TWRP. It must be a full format of data. I know some of the older ROMs used to take many minutes to boot the first time (like up to 10). I am not actively developing for android after they turned on the hardware backed verity states and broke Google Pay with unlocked bootloader, I left android.

Fastboot ROM for Android 11 needed, thanks!

Hi guys,
I made a mistake installing the Android 11 firmware update and afterwards flashing TWRP and installing Magisk.

I guess the best way to go back to stock is using msmtool you can find it here: with android 10 for international and European version: Thread '[OP7PRO][LATEST OOS 10.3.8 GM21AA | OOS 10.0.10 GM21BA] Collection of unbrick tools' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...0-gm21ba-collection-of-unbrick-tools.3956595/

I guess the best way to go back to stock is using msmtool you can find it here: with android 10 for international and European version: Thread '[OP7PRO][LATEST OOS 10.3.8 GM21AA | OOS 10.0.10 GM21BA] Collection of unbrick tools' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...0-gm21ba-collection-of-unbrick-tools.3956595/

Hey,
I bricked my OP7 after what seemed like successfully installing and using Android 11. I am getting the Teamwin blinking brick.
This(
) seems like something I can do- flashing Fastboot ROM(even though I'll lose data, but wth). Can you please tell me if this comment of yours applies in my case- i.e. is the link you are suggesting for Android 11 Fastboot ROM valid?

As a rain check, as I am new to this, and don't want to screw up more,
You mean I can use this method-
Restore OnePlus 7/7T/7T Pro to Stock via Fastboot Commands - DroidWin
to flash the latest stable build on OnePlus support, i.e. this-
https://otafsg1.h2os.com/patch/amaz....P.35_OTA_0350_all_2103221240_3e944b9d067.zip(OnePlus7Oxygen_14.P.32_OTA_032_all_2101280019_b2a62765ba0c485e.zip)
??
Or do you suggest to use the Android 11 firmware available on XDA?

You can do it with the fastboot zip but you need to download all the firmware, in some threads you will find the stock/rooted boot.img from stable and OB, I shared both in this message

I am pretty sure I know my OS, but is there a way to find out?
I was running the stable, but flashing stock boot just led me to a boot loop with the Original Recovery, it's giving me options to
1. Wipe data and cache
2. Reboot to fastboot
3. Reboot to recovery
The fastboot flash commands above to flash stock OS didn't work, due to one error or another.
Anyhow, I had read somewhere fastboot continue works(here: it wasn't working before for me), so I tried that again, and now I am just stuck on 1+ Fastboot screen. I will wait it out to see if it boots into system.
Otherwise, I am thinking I reload fastboot and flash stock boot just like I did- and from there wipe data, but what do I expect then??
The way I see it, I am just stuck in some serious boot issue, and might eventually have to go down the path of msndownloadtool, any suggestion?

Flashing the stock boot.img should be enough to boot into system without problems because TWRP can't decrypt data in android 11.
In this point you can try a factory reset from stock recovery this will keep device files but will erase all your config and apps
To figure out what version of firmware you had you can run this command in fastboot
Fastboot getvar all

Flashing didn't work to boot into system, I was just getting stuck in the Recovery boot loop, it finally booted into system once I wiped my data(files, music, etc -option);
I did try factory reset, only once I cleared the partition, did the boot loop give way to boot into system;
It booted back to Android 11, but it's all glitchy: Boot taking too long, WiFi not switching on, Call not working, Data is working though- basically it's very screwed up, got a couple of errors too- it's like watching an amnesiac old person.. if you get the gist.
So, now I am considering a stable build from Oneplus support website as a local upgrade and booting back to that..
I am hard pressed for options, let me know if you think something else works better, thanks!

I guess msmtool it's the best way to restore your phone, remember that msmtool will re-lock your bootloader so if you want root you need to unlock your bootloader again.
Use msmtool and instructions form Here(there's an android 9 and android 10 for Global and Europe versions, use android 10)

This is the OnePlus 7 pro forum so, I assume you was a 7 pro user, now all makes sense you don't flash the correct boot.img for your device so all woes wrong.
You need to use msmtool from Here

Hey, I am on Mac, I see that Msm is windows-specific.. any way out?

Update: I have been roaming around the corridors of this forum since about a week now. Thanks @RokCruz !!
Finally, used msm tool, although I suspect I still had the option of flashing TWRP and Magisk as I had access to phone and fastboot, but the system was super glitchy.
