C185 OEMINFO Extraction

So guys, like many of you, I messed up my device and now I found a friend with same model. I can extract OEMINFO from the device if someone tell me the exact procedure of doing this. Please guide me. I need to go back to stock as soon as possible.

There is a debranding guide in my signature, 2 in fact, just follow the same for backing up the oeminfo. Thanks in advance for sharing with us

Yes you can via same command but just use relock instead of lock OEM but it will erase data. Dload will not relock but it will lock so not a problem and not data erase also.

Command seems to be the easy way... thanks

what happened ? how u messed it ?

To extract it, with the help of a root explorer, (like MiXplorer, Total Command, ecc.) go to root/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name, and in this folder you'll find "oeminfo" file. Copy it elsewhere, it'll be around 66MB; zip it, and it'll become only 160KB

Thats System file under root directory. Even adb wont work with root for this. You can try multi tool as given in debranding guide

You run that tool via pc and not as a phone app, so you won't need root for opening an update.app with Huawei Multi Tool

Ok thanks for letting me know... I thought Multitool needed root to extract OEMINFO from device... This was a huge problem for me coz my friend is far away from me and he's too noob that he can't even get Product ID by dialing the code...(for BL unlock code)
I would already have done it yesterday if I knew that Multitool didn't need root...
These instructions:
"Unlock your bootloader, flash custom recovery and root"
In this guide:
"https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-debranding-to-india-variant-bln-t3679402"
made me think root was necessary.

I still thinks its needed but still you can copy via multi tool. However, you wilp get prompt on multi tool that su not found. But yeah it generates a copyof oeminfo. Have tested this but as have done lot of trails so can not say 100% if it will work. Can go with this without a problem

Help on rooting a BLU Studio G2 S010Q

Can somebody help me on trying to root my BLU Studio G2? I have tried non-PC methods, but it never worked. Then I tried to root with Kingroot, but because there isn't any class of recovery for my phone, I'm attempting to use Magisk. My bootloader can have the option to be unlocked, but when I hit the Volume Up button to confirm it, it doesn't do anything. Please, I would like this to be solved ASAP.

Thanks for your appreciation, but I've visited this page multiple times, but it's imposible, since first of all, the bootloader can't be unlocked because the volume buttons don't do anything to confirm its unlocking. And second, it's nearly impossible to get a twrp recovery for my phone. The page I had visited multiple has it, but I can't have the download access. ????

Hi there,
Have you tried enabling the boot loader option by going into the developer mode.
And try using ADB Command to unlock the boot loader and it can also help you to root and maybe also install a custom recovery.

Indeed I did, but as I said, the volume buttons won't do anything to confirm its unlocking. Would it be possible to flash the patched boot image using SP flash tool, avoiding the bootloader to be unlocked?

You must've confused the G2 HD (S555Q) with the standard G2 (S010Q) which is the one I have. Also, is it possible to flash the patched boot image from Magisk using SP Flash Tool?

HI there,
It might not be possible as SP FLASH TOOL will definitely give you an error.........
AND IF YOU DID BYPASS THE PROCESS THERE MIGHT BE A CHANCE THAT IT WILL BRICK SO I SUGGEST THAT NOT TO DO IT
there might be another way

Many months ago, I had found the latest stock rom for this phone and took the boot.img from the file to flash itvon sp flash tool. Worked like a charm!

Question Has anyone successfully changed tmobile to internation yet?

using OnePlus 9 5g from tmobile and looking to convert to internation.anyone had any issues or tips to make sure I don't mess up?

So I come from the OnePlus 9 Pro forum, but the tips are identical because pretty much the same phone except for a few differences.
1. DO NOT FLASH BOOTLOADER
I can't stress this enough, flashing the bootloader will render the MSM tool that OnePlus provides for you USELESS! I figured this out the hard way!
2. Make a full device backup, if you're rooted already use Partitions backup and restore available on the Play Store
3. Keep OEM UNLOCKING ON THE WHOLE TIME! Don't turn it off until and unless you return to complete stock using a MSM tool! Also, keep your bootloader unlocked please.
4. Don't trust random "conversion" folders that flash everything at once without looking at the files, ESPECIALLY not without looking at the .bat file(s) such as a flashall.bat.

Sounds too risky. It's not so simple anymore .

Can I ask a clarifying question @razercortex ? You're saying to not flash the bootloader; does that mean I could simply take the boot.img, do the magisk thing to it, and at least have root? I don't wanna brick my T-Mobile variant here, but I really want to have root.

You don't need to do any of that to root. I'm running the tmo variant and have had root since I unlocked it.
Just grab the rooted boot.img and Fastboot BOOT! THE IMG, run magisk and choose direct install and restart then you got root. If you flash anything, you'll be in trouble most likely so just Fastboot boot boot.img

What if I don't want root, just international version

I am interested to switch from T-Mobile variant to international as well.

Im showing to be passing. There was a magisk issue a week ago or so that cause it to fail but it was updated.
Playstore shows "Device is certified"

I really want international myself. This battery is complete garbage and tmo likes to drag their feet on an update the international got to fix the battery issue weeks ago

@jfsat If you just want root, patching the boot.img with magisk should be good enough. Just don't forget to keep OEM unlocking checked and keep the unlock code just in case. Also, don't relock until you have flashed stock boot.img.

It literally does not matter, but I would recommend flashing the boot.img instead because I don't know what the Direct Install method does to your phone's firmware. Flashing the boot.img works great, it only touches your boot partition and if you have the stock boot you can just flash it back and relock it, no problem. Direct Install could potentially change something else though it looks like it could be fine, but YMMV.

I know how to do it, you need to extract payload.bin from the EU OTA and flash all the partitions, find a tutorial online. Just make sure to make a full backup using Partitions backup and restore on the play store or manually dump partitions from your phone. You don't need userdata, it's too big and probably incompatible with the region change, just a side note that flashing partitions in the super partition (system, vendor, product, system_ext, odm, etc.) requires you to be in fastbootd, so use fastboot reboot fastboot to do so. Other than that, make sure there's an MSM tool available, you can check with OnePlus support.

Help rooting phone received from beta testing.

I signed up for a beta test on centernode and received a smartphone to test. The phone is so new that I cannot find any information about it on the internet. The bootloader is unlocked on it. I was reading that you can use magisk to root any device with an unlocked bootloader and system image. Since the phone is so new I cannot find a system image. Is it still possible to root the device? Is there a way I can backup the stock ROM and create a system image that way? Is there something else that will work? I really want to root the device because it came with a preinstalled app which is a system booster type app. It will not let me uninstall it, disable it, or force stop it. When I install my app for my alarm clock it keeps killing the app and the alarm will not go off. I have went through all of the app settings and cannot get it to stop. It also keeps interfering with my VPN. I would also like to root th device to remove some of the bloatware and to have access to the HOST file. Could someone please help me this? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks guys!

I'm not known for giving good advice but if I was in your situation I would try to install the lastest version of Magisk and hope for the best. Knowing how I am it would be driving me nuts wondering if it would work.
That booster app, have you tried uninstalling it with adb?

Hey, thanks for your reply. I am really eager to root it. I almost just went for it. However, then I thought about it. If something went wrong I would not have any way to recover the phone since there is not a system image available yet. I have not given adb removal a try yet as I figure it would just be easier to go with rooting since it will help me with everything I am trying to achieve. If I cannot root it then I will go the adb route. Hopefully someone will come along and help me out. Fingers crossed

Let us know what you end up doing. Are you expected to send the phone back after the beta testing? If you are responsible for any damages done to it, I would not try it.
You could send it back bricked and say you have no idea what happened to it, lol. That or say you were "testing" the security of the device and that it passes

If you have the firmware then you're in luck (especially if it's the full one)
Download a program for windows called "Payload Dumper"
Open the zip (firmware) and copy out the payload.bin file.
Copy this to the input folder from payload dumper.
Run the exe for payload dumper
It'll output a bunch of files to output folder
You'll see a boot.img file this is essentially the file you use to boot your phone and also where magisk would reside too.
Copy this to your phone.
Install the latest Magisk then open it
Click install and then patch a file, navigate to the boot.img
Click the boot.img and it'll output a file to "SDcard\Downloads" usually called magisk_patched.img
Copy this to your fastboot folder on your computer and open a CMD / Powershell command to that location.
Then boot to fastboot / bootloader mode
Then type:
fastboot boot "name of patched boot.img"
eg:
fastboot boot magisk_patched.img
The phone will boot
From this point you are rooted but you need to make it permanent as you haven't flashed the boot sector at this point, you're only booting an image, if you were to reboot you'd lose it.
Open Magisk again then click install again.
Now instead of just seeing patch a file you'll see "Install Directly" + "Install after an OTA"
Click Install directly, allow it to finish, then reboot.
You're now fully rooted.
Heres my guides for the oneplus 8 pro, don't use the images there as they're for the 8 pro, you also can download payload dumper from there too.

So it sounds like since this is a beta device and I cannot find a firmware image in out of luck?
I guess the only other option I have is finding someone who can port twrp for my device. Then I can just root via TWRP. However, from what I have read that might not even be an option as Android 11 mostly has to be rooted the hard way which you have gave instructions on above.
Can anyone think of anything else I can try?

An actual back up? Probably twrp if available.
If not then you'd need a recovery method.
So providing you have a recovery solution you should be fine.

You're very welcome.
Chances of it not booting after doing that? Absolutely zero.
It's a copy not a cut, so you're fine.
The only problem you may encounter is the ability to access the device on that level.
Just turn on usb debugging and make sure ADB works as it should be checking on ADB devices.
Then go ahead with the pull.
You'll be fine.
Also once you have the boot.img if the patched one doesn't work then just reboot and you're back to normal.
I would advise against flashing it, just boot it.

Thanks for your help guys I appreciate it greatly. I am going to give this a try today. I will report back and let you guys know how it goes.
One last question. Since this beta unit I got is a tracfone branded unit with an unlocked bootloader is it possible that they could push a firmware which will lock the bootloader at some point? If so is there any way to prevent that from happening? Thanks again for all your help.

Possible yes, but I doubt they would do that.
Is it an ambassador phone? Or for testing?
Locking the bootloader wipes the phone so I wouldn't imagine they'd do that without forewarning.
Plus locking a bootloader comes with its risks too, so you could say that it broke from the update.
But it won't come to that, I've had several ambassador phones myself and honestly they're fire and forget for the most part, I wouldn't worry about it

So far I have adb installed and working. I have tried to use the commands I was able to locate via google. So far nothing works. I have also tried uninstalling some programs using adb which did not work. I think I am going to have to find someone who could port twrp for me

What exact model do you have?
That error may mean you only have msm.exe and not the image file that's included/needed to flash inside of msm

The reason for this error is the fact that you have probably downloaded the wrong version of the tool.
You have to choose the correct firmware ONLY for your device ! (OP9? OP9PRO? OP9R ? - Indian?global?T-Mobile?etc)
The msm tool is included .You can use Google search to find the file for your device ..

What I do to root;
Enable adb and enable bootloader unlocking.
Open MSM, press f8, select boot_a, (password is oneplus) and save my boot image directly from msm. (Read back)
It saves to c:\. I then push c:\boot_a.img to my phone's sdcard over adb.
Install Magisk, select Patch Boot Image.
Patch that new stock boot image so it becomes a magisk boot image.
I then copy/pull that new magisk boot image to my pc over adb.
Head into fastboot and fastboot boot magiskboot.img, I do not flash, just boot.
Start phone normally but we aren't done yet.
Now I'm on a magisk patched boot image so I head back into magisk app and do Direct Install. And install usnf module only.
When it comes to taking OTAs, I uninstall using Restore Images, take the OTA, do not reboot. After OTA is done, I go to magisk and do "install to inactive slot after OTA"
Then I reboot.
But you could take the OTA first and root afterwards. The reason I didn't do it that way is because I would get device uncertified on my previous phone and lose l1 Widevine (hd on netflix and such). But if I had root, took the OTA, and restored it thru magisk, I would keep l1.
I can't remember if that's the case for the 9 series also, I can only confirm that I am rooted, unlocked bootloader and retain certified device, l1 Widevine, using the latest version available of Android 11, going the magisk restore image+install to other slot ota way.
I'm not going to a12/13, it may be better or worse to go one way or the other for a12/13.
I don't use twrp, just temp boot the patched boot image with fastboot
