[GUIDE] How to Flash the Pixel Experience ROM on Nokia 7 Plus & Nokia 7

Hey guys i know the Pixel Experience rom has been released for a long time, more information about this Pixel Experience rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development/8-1-0-pixel-experience-t3796011
but unfortunately we could not boot on nokia devices after we flashed this rom
Congratulations that bootloop problem has been solved right now, we are not tired to flash roms
DOWNLOAD TWRP https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-e7zNrXp_mi468h-Zu1X5gbwQtgE17I6
follow these steps
1: unlock your bootloader
thank for @hikari_calyx
2: erase data/factory reset
3: connect your computer with adb and flash any roms based on project preble ( AOSP or RR )(why this step ? my friend told me that this twrp has a bug which can't boot recovery on official firmware)
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
4: flash this TWRP supported project treble with
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a TWRP.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b TWRP.img
5: boot into the twrp
6: extract rom image from PE zip and download Magisk-v16.6.zip, after that move them to Internal Storage
7: format data and flash the Pixel Experience image, choose "System image" Notice: Don't do a reboot before flash Magisk.zip
8: flash the magisk.zip
9: wipe all data and reboot. Done !
Notice: you may see Your Device Is Uncertified when you intend to login Google on this device
Just Do This
Download and install Device ID.apk
copy your Google Service Framework ID
fill your GSF ID on this web and Clink on REGISTER
reboot some times you will be able to use google apps
btw all project treble roms do not include Adaptive brightness and Ambient display
fix them at here https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development/overlay-enable-night-light-adaptive-t3741965
I'm on this rom for three days and every things go fine unless fingerprint control bug (that means you can control your phone easily with fingerprint)
thanks for viewing, sorry for my english is poor but I've been improving it, I wrote this GUIDE without translate tool
thanks for every member which develop the project treble rom and TWRP and something else

some amazing screenshots

Why is the TWRP upload locked behind a google drive link that you need to request access for?

Has anyone flashed this yet? This thread was the straw that broke the camel's back for me and I unlocked my bootloader today.
Now just waiting to hear if anyone other than the op has been successful with this guide.

It might take me a couple of days as I am quite busy at the moment.

Thank you for your development for the Nokia 7 plus. Really appreciated.

Well, I installed the system image, but now my SIM is not recognized.
I will go through setup and see if the SIM works afterwards?
EDIT: No IMEI on SIM slot 1, there is an IMEI on slot 2 but this slot also does not work.
And of course, I did not do a backup of my working system. (You'd think I would have learned by now, but NO )

I got my entire system back up and running using the July patched boot image flashed into boot a and b and then sideloaded rollback zip etc, etc....
In general I have found that when I get my self into these situations, if I actually have a back up it ends up failing anyway.
It's always more fun walking the tightrope.
Anyway, both SIM slots are fine on stock ROM rooted with magisk, xposed etc.
I won't be flashing any treble images until I hear more success stories in that respect, I feel that our twrp still has some kinks that need to be ironed out.

9: wipe all data and reboot. Done ! you mean factory reset?

has Android 11 been rooted?

Hi there!
Anyone tried the android 11 beta?
Is it stable enough to be on my only phone?
Is it possible to root it?

Wait for the beta's

Hi,
from what I have read, no, its not a daily driver, yet. I'd wait till the beta's are available in`May, to give it a try.
Though you could always just flash the update & see if it is OK for you. If not revert back to 10.

I'm using it from the first day release. Stable as a rock, i didn't have any issue. I have a question, what I must do to switch from the last developer to the first beta?

Usually, you can either sideload the ota or flash the new image in fastboot after removing the -w. Who knows with google though, they might decide to change that procedure somehow, too Best bet is to just wait for it to be released and follow whatever instructions are given at that point.

The canary Magisk is buggy to say the least. After removing it from my P3XL a while ago, I had to revert to stable on my wife's P3 because attempted patching just results in the app closing. It patched fine with stable.

Yeah, no issues. Been running it for over 12 hours now with multiple reboots and EX kernel install. Flashed factory image without -w. Attempted to patch boot. On failure (app closing), I force closed canary MM, cleared cache and data from app and then uninstalled it. Installed the stable APK and patched boot. Flashed magisk_patched to both slots, and it booted fine. Then installed EX (old one). This morning , updated EX to the new one. Not a single issue since the canary app closure (which others have reported when patching on various devices for days on the canary thread).

I only use the fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img command. That ought to flash the patched boot.img on both slots now wouldn't it?
Edit: Nevermind I flashed to both slots but to no avail. If you don't mind can you share me your magisk_patched.img?

Same result. After booting sequence it just ended up with "powering off" and went to recovery after rebooting. Must have missed something. Thank you. I'll wait for your patched file then.
Edit: I found the culprit. It's my magisk modules. I removed everything and managed to get it to boot. Now just need to figure out which one is causing the bootloop. Thanks!

Just saw your edit. Do you have the Edge Sense Plus module installed? It normally takes J a day or so update the module for the new build. You pretty much need to disable that every month until he posts an update.

No I don't use Edge Sense Plus. But I did use the Centre Clock module. I think it's related to the system UI crashing hence the powering off immediately after booting. Which might also explain why the animation was kind of laggy. I'm guessing something to do with the feature drop which affected the system UI which leads to incompatibility between the ui and the module. But yeah just a guess.

I do not use that module, but it definitely sounds like it could be an issue since you weren't actually boot looped and were able to remove it. I try to keep my module use minimal (and use well vetted ones only) to avoid wondering whether they are the root cause of issues when they happen. Best of luck. Just glad you are up and running.

Sorry to stay OT, but since you mentioned EX kernel, does using it also not hide the unlocked bootloader in our "new and improved" SafetyNet world? I'm one of those for whom everything is still working so far--Pay, banking apps, device is certified, etc. I'd hate to lose all that, though, because I'm not going to unroot. I guess if I have to I can use Pay on my watch and use the banks' Web sites instead of their apps.

It turns out a permissive Kernel helps with the Storage Problems. I will edit the Guide later with a Link

Nice guide brother, this works also on xperia 1 i think ?
Sorry for my guide, i have no time to update it anymore so thats why its kinda outdated and i found those files on a chinese site in my guide so i shared it only

Same Steps, different Files like You can imagine. I made two Folders on Google Drive to keep them seperated. :angel:
I was wondering if we can use the TWRP Installer Zips from like for example the Pixel 2 XL which is almost the same as what we flash actually. Our TWRP is actually from a One Plus 2 or so, while using an old Lazy Flasher with old Magisk Boot File. While the newer TWRP Installers are using a Magisk kind of Installer to do the Ramdisk changes. Only thing i wonder is if the included ramdisk cpio is Device specific or a general thing which shares between different devices!? I'm really about to just try a flash on risk but i would like to here if You know that...

@MartinX3 can hopefully look at this

The ramdisk also contains device specific files
I put the twrp 1/5 on my to-do list

It's really no fun actually to recover my Xperia after Bootloops with Fastboot instead of TWRP. Really throw my Hat in the air once we get a working Recovery. If i can help in any way, let Me know Martin!
Wish You a good Start in the coming Week Guys! :fingers-crossed:

TWRP freezes when i try step 18, until i hard reboot. I also can't mount the storage to put the zips on my phone. Don't know what else to do. Also my touchscreen has stopped working in android, but still works on twrp.

Please try : "fastboot flash boot_a ..." instead of just "fastboot flash boot ..." and repeat with "fastboot flash boot_b ...". This will flash the Recovery to both booth Slots. after that do "fastboot -w" which will format Your Device. Reboot into the Recovery and repeat Step 18 if possible. Would be nice to hear from You again!
Edit: You need to pass Step 18 to use Your Storage. After flashing the Zips will Your System start to work normally again. (Touch and everything else)

Hi everyone. I have this device but I'm facing a problem. After over 2 years of use, it fell on the ground a few days ago, and the screen is all black. I am trying to retrieve the files from it, I have some stuff that I need. The problem is, the device is fingerprint and password locked, so when I connect it to my PC, it doesn't let me see inside the storage until I unlock it. I've trying to place my fingers on the on-screen sensor, but to no avail. I've also tried blindly writing the password but again no success. I am guessing; besides the screen, the touch sensor is also not working. I've found many solutions (various data recovery apps for PC, screen mirroring, ADB commands), but, all require usb debugging enabled, but that is not the case on my A41. My last resort is this, but I need to ask something before I do it.
1. Does flashing it automatically factory reset my phone
2. If not, does this recovery work with volume button controls (because TWRP has a UI unlike CWM which I used like a decade ago) so I can blindly locate the right options?
3. Is it possible to boot without factory reseting?
4. If not, can I just connect my device while in recovery and copy the files from there, before factory reseting it?
I don't want to fix the screen because it's like a hundred euros, and the phone is not worth that much, let alone the screen. I'll be getting a new phone next month and until them I'm using an old phone I have laying around.
Any help is appreciated.

There's nothing you can do, maybe some repair centre could temporally replace the screen just to save the data from it.

I guess I'll just repair the screen even if It's not actually worth it. Thanks though.

Hi Guys, is the latest version of this TWRP compatible with Android 12, or it is only working for Android 11? thanks for your kind reply.

Question Will there ever be custom ROMs for the S7 FE?

Will there ever be custom ROMs for the S7 FE?
Is there something certain holding devs back from making one?
Just curious.

I don't know but you can easily flash GSI now. Also I am wondering if S pen is working with GSI...

I've tried dual boot Pixel Experience 13 GSI using DSU Sideloader. It works great. Got UI bugs like the taskbar is cropped, the Settings app is not dual pane.
The S Pen works. if you hover the pen a mouse icon appear. Buttons on the S Pen seems cannot do anything.
Overall the GSI feels very snappy but you will lose some function like protect battery, Dex, S Pen features, better multitasking/multi-windows experience, etc.

Hello thanks for your answer, dsu sideloader is working here? I don't see the option in the developer settings, you used the app on GitHub?

Yes i use DSU Sideloader app on the github. No root needed but bootloader must be unlocked
GitHub - VegaBobo/DSU-Sideloader: A simple app made to help users easily install GSIs via DSU's Android feature.

It's super cheap on Amazon right now. Hopefully the cheap price can be an appeal enough that releasing a custom ROM is worth it.

I'm no developer, but if you want your Samsung tablet to run AOSP like a Pixel, check out my guide here.
Otherwise, you can install GSIs from LineageOS, PHHTreble, or other projects.

Until ROMS can preserve some OEM capabilities it will be a ways off before custom ROMs are in high enough demand for this device. Sort of like Sony and how rooting can make you lose access to certain camera functions (if I recall).

Hi!
First you have to unlock the bootloader (IT WILL ERASE ALL USER DATA) (method for maybe all Samsung device) by deactivated OEM LOCK in développement options,
then shutting down tablet and press both vol + and - while you plug the usb cable.
You LL see a warning green screen and you LL be able to unlock the bootloader.
After that I don't know if there is a TWRP recovery for that tablet but if there is one, you could flash it with Odin and then flash GSI.
If there is no TWRP, I think you can flash GSI but I don't know the method att all ..... Maybe take a look on internet "how flash GSI with Odin"?

There is an other solution with DSU SIDELOADER but it will just a make a partition with original ROM, and the GSI one.
Bootloader must also be unlocked
Don't hesitate to ask if you don't know what what I am talking about

Not necessarily, you can patch the stock recovery to accept fastboot commands with this

I extracted the recovery.img.lz4 from AP of the Stock firmware, and then tried to patch the recovery.img.lz4 with that script, but the patching failed, and I couldn't find the reason for the error.

You'd have to contact the developer of the script

I've flashed the GSI into the S7 FE and it feels great.

First of all, there are several LOS 20 GSI ROMs. Can you give a link to the one you used. And how did you flash it without fastboot? AFAIK, there is no TWRP except for the SM-T735.
