[Request] persist.img - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi, is anyone here able to backup their persist.img and share it here? I somehow corrupted my partition and my sensors aren't working. I don't know if this applies to this device, but I found this guide on a Xiaomi Mi A1 guide (https://xiaomifirmware.com/guides-and-tips/restore-persist-partition-xiaomi-mi-a1/), or else you can try this (https://youtu.be/LGkDZtQ_ERE?t=124) from 2:04 . If you can achieve the result with a different method you can also share the file here. Thanks in advance to whoever does this.

You're going to need to specify which exact build you're looking for this from...
..or you could just use "Payload Dumper" to extract all the img files from the released packages :

Didn't think it would matter, anyways, I'm on 9.5.5 GM1913, but if needed I can switch to 9.5.4

@djsubterrain https://i.imgur.com/Z1GyAlR.png no persist here. Do you mind sharing yours?

Unfortunately TWRP doesn't list that as a backup option so I don't think I can unless you know how.

OK, Here you go. Just to confirm I'm on EU 9.5.5, I have Rice magisk module enabled and ElementalX latest kernel, also rooted with latest Magisk :
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117886178
The folder contained the img and 2 other files so I just stuck them in there too.
I note that you're in the US so, the post above mine is T-Mobile version (9.5.6 isn't on other versions I don't think), if that's the one you have you might want to go with theirs.

Thanks guys, both working. I'm not in the US, I randomly chose a country. Anyways I flashed the GM1917 9.5.6 on my GM1913 9.5.4, and no problems. Also tested the 9.5.5 GM1913 and working. I don't think persist is phone/update-dependant, also because OnePlus hasn't done any updates or specific changes to the sensors directly from the persist partition. For anyone interested, just get a persist.img, reboot to fastboot and connect your phone to the computer, type this command into fastboot "fastboot flash persist persist_name_xxxx.img" and reboot.

Glad to hear you're back up and running.

Glad to hear it worked. I don't think 9.5.6 is a T-Mobile patch. Non T-Mobile phones were getting it ota and it fixed an issue for Verizon users. I think 1+is unifying their build numbers back together.

if you mess up persist.img
does it flash from the MSM tool?

It didn't for me, took a little bit to figure out why my wifi wasn't working with any of the custom kernels that inline the wifi module in the boot img. Used msm tool as well as fastboot ROM... No luck. After finding this persist img and fastboot flashing, no problem since. Was on 9.5.7 Global when flashed.

Sorry to ressurect an old thread. I was just wondering if this persist.img(or this method) can be used to flash the relevant persist.img onto a oneplus 7t pro to restore widevine L1?

T-Mobile 9.5.5 boot.img

Does anyone happen to have this? I used the 9.5.3 img for the TWRP with working decrypt, and it booted fine once, however now it keeps booting back to TWRP despite selecting "reboot system." I think someone mentioned they had it, but I can't find it for the life of me. Thanks so much!
No, don't think there are any full zips for T-Mo yet.

In case you still need it, I'm fairly certain this is the boot image for GM31CB 9.5.5. I extracted it from my own device when I was flashing the international firmware. I will be honest, it might have the Chinese TWRP patched in. I doubt it though since it I can't find any of the TWRP files in the decompiled image.

"System update installation failed" while trying to install Q dp3, what did I miss?

"System update installation failed" while trying to install Q dp3, what did I miss?
I am currently on oxygenOS 9.0.8, both slots completely stock. I have unlocked the bootloader and enabled USB debugging.
I am trying to install Q dp3, but everytime I select Q dp3 zip file and press ok, update manager immediately says "System update installation failed" with no specific error code or any leads.
I have tried:
-Redownloading the Q dp3 file from here (https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_003_all_1907120020_wipe_ae2a3b38959345b1.zip)
-Rebooting and trying again
-Relock and unlock the bootloader
-factory reset within the settings
The strange thing is, I can normally install oxygenos 9.0.8 full update file. So I suspected problem of the dp3 file. But redownloading didn't solve the problem.
Is there something I have missed out? Some settings I have to do? Specific conditions?
Searching haven't helped me much(I searched everywhere, but I think nobody has my problem).
If someone can help me, I will be grateful. Thanks!
Since your bootloader is unlocked anyway, you can flash Android Q DP3 zip using TWRP. Flash it on both slots. Haven't tried blu_spark, but mauronofrio's TWRP works with Q. Don't forget to format data.

Can I ask you one more question? What is the best and convenient way to go back to stock? I used nexus 4 and mi a1 before, and both devices just had to use
fastboot roms to go back to complete stock. Is it same with OP6? Or do I have to use MSM tool or other things?

I think it's down to your preference. I prefer the fastboot ROMs simply because I haven't tried MSM download tool yet. But yeah, both fastboot ROMs and MSM download tool are available for OP6.

I successfully flashed Q dp3 thanks to you.
However, I can't boot TWRP with fastboot boot twrp.img method. Before updating to Q, it worked. Now, cmd line shows FAILED (remote: 'unknown command').
I have tested with newer versions of Fastboot, but the results were the same. Anybody knows how to solve this problem?

Yep, it's a known issue with DP3 (or possibly earlier builds). Anyway, every time you flash a ROM, may it be stock or custom, you should always flash TWRP next. For now, you could try downgrading to Pie using fastboot ROMs.

Alright so I've been sitting on this file for a few days. Willl I be able to flash this to my LE2117 on 11.2.2.2 and relock bootloader and be back to stock? Or will my system still be corrupt if I relock? G just wait for a non pro msm tool?

I'm not sure how you went about rooting it originally, but if you have only flashed boot.img and nothing else. Then yes that is how I would go about doing it on my phone, if I was wanting to go back to locked bootloader. I don't see any issue with doing that after you install the stock boot.img.

Yes That sucks but we all learn from are mistakes.. Fastboot Flash this stock boot.img and then either lock bootloader or if you want to have root? have magisk patch same stock boot.img and reinstall.
P.s. I also have been able to update over ota by just restoring stock boot.img in magisk.
Incase you wanted to keep rolling out with root. If you need help.i will try to make a step by step way I did it.

Went ahead and reflashed that boot.img. Worked fine. Now I can relock with no other steps at this point correct?
Correct.
Thank you my friend. This is most helpful. I was reluctant to root without a good way to return to stock for updates.

Well you would fastboot the stock boot.img. but if you have never tampered with your original? And wanted root? you would have magisk patch the stock boot.img and then fastboot your.img. if you search how to root with boot.img you will find how to do it with the files above

Vortex V22 Standup Wireless Firmware Error

Hello!
I tried the search function but my search-fu isn't strong today. I got a Vortex V22 phone from Standup Wireless. I must have been half asleep, because when i flashed what I assumed was the correct boot.img, I got stuck in a boot loop.
On further investigation, I had flashed the boot for another device called Vortex. I am having incredible difficulty in finding the right boot image. The info I have from the side of the box is:
Vortex V22 4G LTE
Color: Graphite Blue
ROM 32GB
RAM 3GB
OS Android 11
FCC ID 2ADLJ-V22
I deeply appreciate any and all help. Thanks so much!
i was trying to find a phone case for the phone what model number is yours ?
If you're still searching I can try to make a rom dump, I have this phone as well brand new untouched or registered.
I'd just need a tutorial on the proper way to dump and extract the files so I can upload the boot.img
_
I've never used it cause I put the StandUp Wireless sim in my T-Mo InSeeGo 5G HotSpot and prefer to use my Galaxy S8 with Keyboard Cover Case and Unihertz Titan Pocket
Just dumping the firmware from mine, using SP Flash Tool. Used this guide: https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-12719.html
Will remove userdata & cache, but there is a LOT of gbs of system data. This phone is appearently Treble-enabled with VNDK ver 30, so yes, you can flash a GSI on there. Will provide a custom recovery necessary.
Edit: if you were wondering, this phone has a MT6761 with a eMMC flash.

Hi PicelBoi,
I have the V22. I've unlocked the BL and trying to install a custom rom via ADB or Fastboot but have had no luck. I try to erase or flash and I get errors saying partitions don't exist. Can you please help out with a recovery file?
I tried the hovatek guide but didn't have any luck, but I tried it before the BL was unlocked. Would that be an issue with the sp flash tool? I was told it shouldn't matter.

You need to reboot to userland fastboot, which you could do by rebooting to normal fastboot then telling fastboot to reboot to fastboot by typing in fastboot reboot fastboot. You will see a new screen, and now you could flash a GSI to the phone.

I was able to get a bunch of GSI's that work with it, including the phone you posted, but I was looking to get root and found a couple pre-rooted GSI's that work as well. Newer ones do work as well I has 13 rooted and working. However, I liked the Pixel ROMs the best and would prefer to install those instead and then root. So I need the firmware for that so I can patch a modified boot.img.

I completely messed up one messing with partitions and it took many tries trying to get to was able to still get to the bootloader fastboot and then recovery to fastbootD. You should be able to get it booted into fastbootd and flash as it seems you can.
Try the one below. you should be able to find it with a google search. If you can't let me know and I will try to look and see where I downloaded it from as I cannot remember where I found it.
I've tried many GSI ROM's Some boot fully, some only boot to the boot screen and some won't boot at all.
I'm using 13 rooted LineageOS GSI version 20-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvS
It is vanilla. I can't remember if there is a GAPPS version or not. But you can load it all after with magisk. But its rooted.
I still would like if picelboi could share the stock rom, so we can have a boot.img. I would like to try other ROM's that are not PRE-Rooted.

I can't remember which A12 I had working but I was looking for root and the one A12 that was prerooted I had issues with so I went to A13.
This is an A13. LineageOS GSI version 20-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvS
There may be a newer version of it now.
Also, these phones seem have that internet connect issue with some GSI ROMS and this is one of them I think, they connect to wifi but they won't actually connect to internet, but there is a easy fix for it.

As far as I know, persist.img is unique to your phone, so if it's messed up, you have to send it in. You can Make it back up of it, but if it's already messed up it's pointless now
It's not messed up but proximity and auto-brightness sensors are not working with ANY custom ROM but they work flawlessly under OOS (GM1913).
Any idea?
Thanks for helping!

OOS11 or OOS12? It only works on OOS though? Have you tried going back to OOS and seeing if it still works?

11. Yes, if I restore my phone using MSM tool everything works again.

Try restoring with MSM, then unlock bootloader and root, then flash the newest oos11 update again so both slots have it. MSM only fixes slot a. After that reboot, make sure everything works still. If so, backup persist.img with adb, termux, or the partitions backup app from google play. Flash a custom ROM and boot and see if it works. If not flash the persists.image that you backed up and check again. dd if=/dev/block/by-bame/persist of=/sdcard/persist.img that command works with root in termux and adb shell. Just copy the image to your computer or USB stick
Can I ask why you are suggesting to backup and restore persist as - from what I know - installing a custom rom won't touch that partition?

Because it sounds like something is messing with it possibly. That way if it is getting messed up you can flash the working persist you backed up to see if that is what is happening
