i dumped the stock rom bro @besttipsYT Not Shobith

this method is not working at this time...when i trying to flash by this method only show.......phone connected......downloding boot8....then disconnect my phone ..&reboot

Please don't flash custom recovery (here twrp) without proper knowledge or just sake of modding device. The builds and methods are not always working and may end up bricking your device.

Hi There, Can someone PLZ help me setting up OPPO PRELOADER Drivers correctly. Everytime i try to use miracle thunder i get the following log:
Waiting for USB Port...
Set USB Serial Device (COM9)
Connecting to Phone,Wait..
Connected to Phone.
CPU: MT6771 SW:0000 Ver: CA00
>>Downloading Boot8 ...
and it remains on here forever.
Actually oppo preloader shows for some time in pc and after that it goes away and hence it is not letting the miracle thunder work properly (i guess)
when my phone was working (booting in coloros 6, then also oppo preloader was doing the same thing and after a few seconds my battery would start charging), now i can't see anything on screen as it's bricked now.
Preloader doesn't even work with SP Flash Tools also.
EDIT : I have tried almost everything i knew, drivers manager add legacy option etc.
If someone could help me get out of this problem, i would really be grateful.
Brick Reason : Flashed TWRP but used fastboot command to boot into that : (

Which recovery are you in? Is it Stock or Custom?
If u have stock first wipe data and then flash boot.img or ozip file (stock ROM).
If u have custom recovery then you need to flash stock recovery + stock ROM.

If recovery and fastboot are inaccessible means you need to visit service center.

Yes. Do remember you need both fastboot and recovery to be working, so you can flash Stock Recovery (only if you have TWRP installed).
If you have stock recovery installed then download stock rom from official Realme site and place it in the Sdcard (otg wont help). Enter into recovery and update/install the ozip.
If your phone is completely dead then above method wont help and you have to follow another one.
Note: If your device is rooted then installing (from stock recovery) stock rom fails. At this time flash TWRP from fastboot then flash zip file (convert stock rom from ozip to zip).

how to reinstall Oxygen OS

HI Everybody,
I have a Oneplus 8T, European, I installed lineage recovery and Lineage OS 18.1, rooted, but now I would like to reinstall Oxygen 11. Please, can you tell me how to do or where to find the answer?
Please, don't tell me to use TWRP because at moment it's not available for this smartphone.
Thank you All in advance!

You'll need to download the msm recovery tool for your device. Will take it back to new

I guess you could try to fastboot flash a full rom zip I think that should work. If not you can just use the MSM tool to restore.
The steps to fastboot flash a full OOS rom zip should be the same as listed in this conversion thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-convert-tmo-to-global-eu-or-other-variant.4188491/

I believe it can fastboot flashed. I just haven't tried it yet. I did see another post where the steps were laid out but remember where I saw it

I am also very interested in the answer to this question. And I think I know why the answer is "use the MSM tool".
Here's how I arrived at that:
If you use payload_dumper to have a look at what gets flashed when installing a rom, there's a number of image files that aren't listed in /dev/block/by-name such as odm, product, vendor and even system(!). This means that you cannot flash them using fastboot and the only way to flash them is via fastbootd (which is in recovery.img).
So the theoretical process is:
- boot into fastboot
- flash boot, recovery, and the other "normal" partitions
- start fastbootd using "fastboot reboot fastboot"
- flash the remaining partitions
- reboot
The problem with OOS is that fastbootd looks very much like recovery: it has no ADB/fastboot connectivity. So you cannot flash the remaining partitions.
Conclusion: the MSM Tool is the only way to return.

Stuck at TWRP splash screen

I recently updated to MIUI v12.5.1.0.RCDMIXM using a recovery zip through TWRP. A few days later I decided to flash Magisk by patching the boot.img from the same zip and flashed using fastboot.
Everything worked fine until I rebooted to recovery using the Magisk app. Now it's stuck at the TWRP splash screen, can't even reboot or enter fastboot with power and volume buttons because it will always try to boot to TWRP.
What do I need to do to fix this?
This is where I got the TWRP

Just erase/format the MISC partition.
This partition holds a "go to recovery" parameter.

Okay, but how exactly can I do that? It's been stuck like this since last night and won't go to fastboot with vol keys..

Can you use TWRP ?
If not, you need sp flash tool.
Try to flash boot.img and recovery.img.

I'll try using SP Flash, but I think I remember that Xiaomi devices have SLA auth to prevent unauthorized flashing using SP Flash. Will your scatter file work without it?

Do you have the Global v12.5.1.0 stock recovery? Or I could just use any version like vbmeta?
The phone's battery just drained, if I try to plug it would try to boot into twrp again so I kept it unplugged since I need it to be turned off for SP Flash

You said "fastboot", so you need the fastboot ROM.
SP flash tool does NOT need the device to be turned off, it just need to REBOOT.
If you try to flash while a reboot to another reboot, it will works perfectly.

Are you still in 12.5? Do you also use a custom recovery in that version?

Just managed to access a laptop and got to fix the situation. Turns out I can still use adb even though TWRP is stuck on the logo screen.
First tried the `fastboot erase misc` command but misc partition doesn't exist on the device.
Tried `fastboot continue` but won't let me use the command and `fastboot reboot` just makes it go to recovery and get stuck again.
I flashed Orange Fox Recovery and it was still stuck at it's splash screen. So I went back to fastboot and for some reason `fastboot reboot` worked now and booted to system, further restarts are normal now.
Now I'm curious, why won't custom recoveries work with MIUI 12.5? When I tried accessing root, every folder (ex. system) is in this format [1;34system[0m, does it have something to do with that?
Still trying to get the stock recovery, but there's no fastboot rom file for this version yet...

Magisk v23 works just fine, just patch the boot.img file of your ROM version and flash it with custom recovery or fastboot.

Theres one TWRP that doesnt have a splashscreen, in that one just block and unblock the screen while on recovery and it'll work fine. BUT your internal storage isn't going to be accesible, its encrypted and (for some reason) on 12.5 twrp cant unlock the storage, you'll have to do everything on your sdcard

Question How do I flash stock ROM with locked bootloader?

Hi guys,
so after I got my xiaomi with a global ROM and wanted to update and that is when I accidentally relocked the bootloader. The version of ROM was invalid apparently and wouldn't let me boot and now I'm stuck in fastboot mode.
My problem is as follows:
-can't enter recovery, stuck at fastboot no matter how many times I try and reboot
-adb not working since I didn't enable it
-bootloader locked (miflash says so and it can't unlock it since I didn't check 'oem unlock enable' and I cannot boot ROM so I can't enable it)
-fastboot flashing says 'not allowed in lock state'
-edl mode not available
I've seen tutorials where people opened their phones to force the phone into edl mode via the testing points but is that the only way`?
Any suggestions on how I could unbrick it?
Much appreciated

yes, it is the only way.

you can use this tool to flash the phone on fastboot mode
Xiaomi King Tool - Home.
xiaomikingtool.com
its cost you only 5 credit

Can you flash files by fastboot? if so, flash the global rom images one by one, then reboot

I know this is a late reply, but I was in a similar situation with my phone and here is how I dealt with it: You need to access EDL mode, it doesn't require disassembling the device like the other user here suggested.

Hello, My Poco X3 System destroyed itself while I was using it, it showed a glitch screen and turned off. Now I went to flash my mobile through Miflash but it showed the bootloader is locked and now I can't unlock it as the system itself is destroyed and can't do anything. So i wanted to know if i can flash my mobile with cmd as you said above flashing img files one by one or let me know if there is any method to flash my mobile or unlock the bootloader? Please me help bro

flashing is possible with modified firehose programmer (no auth factory loader) or with authorized xiaomi account. both solutions are paid service and cannot advertised here.
please -as always- read the thread you posted in. I can see useful information shared already. wait for other replies.

Hi, try to flash the .img files from the fastboot stock rom whit cdm in fastboot, one by one, some files will give error but skip that, then reboot the phone as normal, it should work.
example:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
etc.

I had a Mi 9T and by mistake I installed a recovery that didn't correspond to it, the phone got bricked, and the only way to save it was like this, I searched and read everywhere but I couldn't find a solution, flashing the .img files was my idea, I didn't know if it would work but it did.

To install a recovery, the bootloader must be unlocked.

Rooting Tecno LC8. or tecno power pro 2.

I recently got my hands on Tecno LC8 and am amazed by how good it is. Sadly its a bit hard to root BUT I have done necessary work for all of you.
### Instructions
1. Update to LC8-H6215ABCD-Q-GL-220402V350
2. connect to a laptop/pc with adb tools installed.
3. type in terminal adb reboot fastboot
4. When phone start in fastboot mode (It comes with a animation of usb cable with bluish glow)
5. Type in terminal
fastboot flash vbmeta_vendor vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_system vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
6. Install Magisk.apk from their release page https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/
7. Enjoy
Now time for cons
- This your whole system may or maynot be formatted. I invite for anyone to confirm it.
- SafetyNet works?????? Idk and can neither confirm it. again I invite for anyone to confirm it. This device is for very specific purpose
- TWRP? I can make it yes. But please just no I am providing with recovery image. If you wanna have a go at it go for it. It will be highly appreciated.
- You wanna go full AOSP on this device??
I already tried it. GSI project treble is comaptible with device "x64 ab partition img" But dual sim support is wonky. Flashlight won't work readily My advice is to extract the mediatek sim processor and replace it with GSI google sim processor and whole mediatek tree.
BUT if you have only one sim card go wild you can install GSI on nearly mediatek device with project treble support.
If you wanna install custom rom without TWRP.
Do this
[WARNING ROOT NEEDED]
fastboot delete-logical-partition product
fastboot flash system [your custom rom file location]
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
Tecno LC8 support "x64ab partition" images.

I have no problem teaching you.
I do things thrifty. I preferrably use linux to root basically. BUT windows is also pretty good to root android you need platform tools and adb.
the sure fire way to root chinese phones is
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Open flashing privileges (FRP unlock, unlocking phones etc different company calls it differently)
3. Have an understanding of boot verifiers (vbmeta stands for verify boot metadata ) Nowadays phone verifies boot image by vbmeta_product vbmeta_vendor and vbmeta itself
You have to make all of them blank so nothing verifies your boot image on start up
I suggest downloading a firmware of your phone model to understand the partitions system of your phone model
4. Extract your boot image and vbmeta with mtkclient
5. Now patch your boot image. You can do it by hand or by magisk.
6. Flash every vbmeta with blank-vbmeta and boot with patched_boot
7. TWRP is optional DON'T do it if you have only one phone. Always have backup if you want to touch recovery partition
WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR
1. update versions. Chinese Kernel update are very sensitive to version numbers. Don't flash v290 boot.img on v350 boot.img. It will brick instantanously.
2. Always learn how to flash your phone model. It saves a lot of headache.
3. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
4. Don't be afraid to throw your phone in anger. No no Seriously. To root a phone is to insist on ownership and if phone denies that it is totally reasonable to obliterate the said phone. I actually mean the last advice.

So can i use the

Hmm you need to get boot.img from your own phone by using mtkclient application. Downloading firmware is to understand about the partition system of your phone. ALWAYS use your own phone boot.img

and am stock on this on mtkclient
Power off the phone before connecting.
For brom mode, press and hold vol up, vol dwn, or all hw buttons and connect usb.
For preloader mode, don't press any hw button and connect usb.
If it is already connected and on, hold power for 10 seconds to reset.

To access Brom mode you need to either remove battery/power off phone then while holding volume up/down button connect the usb cable with pc. PC should be listening for any Brom connections when you connect the phone.

Did you do frp unlock?

No, i have not

Do a frp unlock without it you cannot flash.
Actually to root your phone you don't need Brom mode
