About Nokia 7+ Firmware

Well, I got a Nokia 7 Plus prototype (TA-1062), and I'm able to dump emmc from it.
Now I'm working on homebrew firmware - not sure if it can be flashed into retail unit.
I hope @blackpanther0582 could release Retail Android One firmware - even flashing it requires service point authentication.
BTW, I rooted the Nokia 7 Plus prototype easily.

I was thinking of buying N7P instead of Xiaomi Redmi Note 5,but I read that Nokia doesn't allow users to unlock the bootloader, so no custom ROMs, no TWRP and no root. That is a big no for me personally.
How did you root your phone? Care to share some info?

Prototype phones already have bootloader unlocked...
What I did are:
1. Enter Qualcomm EDL Mode with an EDL cable, then use QFIL to dump the whole emmc to get image.
2. Dump boot partition.
3. Use Magisk Manager to patch boot.img separately.
4. Flash this boot.img on either fastboot mode or EDL cable.
That's it.
I wonder if a retail phone can achieve these.
NOTE: Nokia 6 TA-1000 with locked bootloader requires an extra procedure to process boot.img in order to root the phone.

I didn't know that prototypes have their bootloader unlocked!
Hopefully, by the time it hits European stores, the Chinese who got it first might have figured something out. Or maybe, as it's part of Android One, it will be obligatory to allow users to unlock the bootloader.

I have the firmare will upload it tomorrow. Is there a forum created for Nokia 7+ already ??

Thank you, if root will be avaible I'll definitely consider buying the phone.
What do you think of the phone? Quality of screen, performance, battery...

How were you about to get a prototype device? What about the retail chinese phones? I was thinking about importing them from ebay/aliexpress but im not sure if they'll be able to have their bootloader unlocked, no one has tried so far to my knowledge.

I still have no idea of if the bootloader on China Variant is unlockable.
But, if you're going to buy Nokia 7+ from China, here's some warning:
1. Only Chinese (both Simplified and Traditional) and English is available on the phone.
2. You can install Play Store manually, but you must told the seller that preserves everything on stock to prevent from tampered system.
3. If the system got damaged, you have to find someone who can provide service support to flash your phone. I don't know if you can flash Android One firmware for global release since I don't have one.

Thanks for that info, on point 2 regarding play store does that extend to Google services also? Wifey is holidaying in China and just bought one and thought to buy another for me but I'm holding her off until I can be sure as I rely on Google services a great deal. Also why must the seller be informed, is that a warranty issue or software update issue?
And on point 3, presuming she brings the phone back to New Zealand is there a way I can help the community to explore flashing Android One global release firmware?

If you can buy it from China directly, informing seller is not necessary. For example, if you can buy it from Jing Dong or Suning, you needn't to worry about tampered OS, and that means you can receive further updates.
If you buy it from eBay or AliExpress, the system is probably tampered by seller which you can't get further updates.
As for install Play Store, it's really easy - just find Play Store APK from APKPure, APKMirror whatever and install it on the phone, this will allow you to get access to Play Store. Then you can install any other Google Apps on Play Store manually. You needn't to root your phone and install opengapps.
Since Android One firmware hasn't released yet and the bootloader isn't unlockable, you can't flash it right now.

Nokia 7 plus is available on Amazon europe sites like Germany and Italy and others and also ships worldwide and release date showing 12 to 14 or 15 april

thank you!

Big question here! I am going to europe and want to buy this phone there, the problem is that the model they are selling don't have band 4 (1700/2100) and i need it in my country. Is there a way to fix this? Is a model in europe with band 4? Can i flash the modem with band 4? Thanks a lot!

As the phone should be available, are there any news about the firmware of Europe phones? Is the bootloader unlocked / unlockable?

According to this post, the official bootloader unlocking from HMD themselves is imminent.

I heard the Chinese Firmware supports navbar gestures where you can disable navbar and use gestures and this isnt available in Global version
That SUCKS! its such a good feature NOKIA give it to all!

Other people posted firmware threads as well but it isn't complete like this one is. The others are missing major components to actually fix the phone. The other threads also do not have software to save your phone imei, which if you don't save and you try to install firmware on your phone. You could end up permabricking your phone and no one can fix it at that point. This is because the phone doesn't have a serial or a lot of identifying information, so it will refuse to load the firmware.

No firmware package is incomplete, but some of the older EDL restore packages don't have all the files to perform a full restore. There is a difference between flashing raw firmware and performing an EDL restore.
Raw firmware is like reinstalling Windows. It's a factory reset with the factory image. This fixes most OS issues, such as deleting important files.
EDL restore is like flashing the BIOS. It formats all of the partitions and does a clean install as if the phone never had any firmware at all.
It's important to know the difference, since flashing raw firmware is far less dangerous and much easier. It might be worth asking what the problem is before jumping right to EDL restore.

<Moderator Edit>: Post edited. I will PM you as to why shortly.
My rog phone 5s pro was hardbrick because I Flash the wrong firmware like rog phone 5 raw file.. then my phone detect on my pc only on edl mode qualcomm not turning on.. after few hours of research I revive my phone if someone softbrick rog phone 5 series.

Question Stuck on Oneplus 9 Pro Indian firmware

I attempted to convert my t-mobile oneplus 9 to international firmware by first flashing the Indian firmware.
I mistakenly downloaded the oneplus 9 PRO Indian msm.
I didn't realize this as the file has a very similar name. Lemonade_22.I.07_210412 vs Lemonadep_22_I.07_210412
I've tried everything since then, with no success. I tried to flash the correct oneplus 9 indian msm but it says incorrect device.
So I'm stuck with the oneplus 9 pro Indian firmware and can't get back to indian oneplus 9 firmware....

I have been developing and flashing android devices since the early days of Cyanogenmod... dozens of devices. And guess what? I did EXACTLY the same thing as you.
The link I downloaded from said it was Oneplus 9 firmware, and given the filenames being virtually identical, I never noticed it was the Oneplus 9 PRO firmware.
So don't feel too bad. Even experienced people can make mistakes when trying to flash phones!
I am working on a solution, but so far no luck because:
1. Msm Tool will not flash the Oneplus 9 firmware as it thinks it is the incorrect device (why did it let us flash the incorrect device firmware before???)
2. The bootloader is re-locked and the OEM Unlocking feature is greyed out in Developer options, therefore fastboot can't be used to re-flash the correct firmware.
3. The System Update "local upgrade" feature does not find ZIP files in the root folder and will not allow us to browse to the correct file.
So for now, we are stuck. I think solving #3 will be the solution. If we can make the "local upgrade" work, we should be able to flash the stock firmware ZIP.

@Derek6091 @mightysween did you fix it yet? I had my device screw up so bad today that the only MSM I could use on my global unit was the Indian 9 Pro firmware and I have gotten my device mostly working.
You can see my drama with it and how I finally got it working here.
[SOLVED] Can anyone help me unbrick? I have tried lite firehose, MSM for global, MSM for Indian 9 Pro, none work
I modded the global MSM so that it will flash to this frankenphone. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/all-of-those-stuck-on-indian-firmware-rejoice-i-modded-the-global-msm.4442473/ EDIT: For anyone else trying this and getting unsupported...
forum.xda-developers.com
I can get it working with 11.2.10.10 but not OOS 12, in OOS 12 the touchscreen doesn't work and it shows dual SIM icons so it's still doing something that makes it think it's a foreign variant. I ended up just going back to StagOS where I was before everything got mucked up.
Unfortunately the MSMs still see it as an Indian variant so I can only flash the Indian OP9P firmware to it, tried all the other MSMs and none work. I have been reading threads here and people claim they got it back to global but I tried all of the suggestions and none of them restored the device enough to where the global MSM Tool didn't see it as an Indian model and refuse to flash so I think we are stuck with this frankendevice.

@EtherealRemnant Yes I had to do oem unlock while on the Indian firmware. If your phone has the oem unlock greyed out, there's a guide on how to fix that with a simple command line.
Then I unlocked bootloader, flashed lineage recovery then a custom ROM. Haven't tried to get back to stock rom, and I don't think we can.... But I love this rom I'm currently on which is stagos.

You have to use the Oppo Decrypter tools. Decrypt the OPS file and open settings.xml. At the bottom of it there's a Target area. I just edited that to IN instead of O2 and re-packed it.

I tried it with the T-Mobile MSM but it still failed on "unsupported target". Did you only change the text value for O2 to IN, or did you need to change the numerical Target ID as well?
I am pretty content leaving this phone on StagOS anyway, but would be nice to figure out a way to return to T-Mobile stock after recovering from a brick.

Manually flashing partitions in Fastboot does work, FYI. So it is possible to go back to stock that way once the bootoader is re-unlocked.
I wonder where the "target" data is stored on the actual device. If it is simply a numerical/text value in an accessible partition, seems like it would be pretty easy to make a TWRP flashable that can change it.

Strange that it didn't work for you. That was indeed all I changed. Did you change it to what the unsupported target message said your device was? I was comparing the settings between India and global and besides the change of target ID, the target number on India was 3 instead of 1. No idea if that makes a difference though because I didn't try it.
You made sure to re-encrypt and replace the OPS, right?
Also yeah you can flash with fastboot, it doesn't fix that flag though and when I tried to go back to OOS 12 with the messed up flag it thought my device was a dual SIM device so there was no signal and the touchscreen didn't work. Happened twice. With the modified MSM I went back to global and am running OOS 12 right now.

I understand that yes but my problem is that I don't have a laptop or PC to run the program so I'm trying to find another way to get the firmware for my Edge 2021, And if I can't do that is there any custom ROM compatible with this device that I could use to patch it with magisk?

friend I'm not a star I tell you how things are 1) you can't go back with another Rom only china 2) anti-roll-back 3) MiCloud you have to disable it you can try MiflashV2 there is also to unlock the bootloader it does everything even the firmware remember if the firmware does not start. important not only china also not china for updates remember first you do the factory reset put google account do not update any app except google drive backup with drive if it has arrived update it is better by setting the time instead of downloading the package the problem is when the update occurs it fails to close all active apps and then there is MiCloud that blocks. Best wishes and good luck and that I have little time for me too much trouble here in Europe.

currently my phone is stuck at the logo and after seconds it loads Fastboot automatically i cant access the phone os to do anything i used the xiaomi bootloader unlocker app that works online but it didnt work . the local cell phone service shops told that they have to open the phones back case to fix it ... i dont want that i've just bought the phone didnt even use it for a whole month

they don't have to open it they use licensed or dongle software (USB type) currently I use unlocktoll.net but if the phone is under warranty and you haven't removed the bootloader before it is better for you. It is possible that others have the same problem as you. Good luck

Rule number 1 for Xiaomi never flash anything on Mediatek devices, it will fail. If messed up, no way back as Xiaomi locks the devices for autorized service providers or local Xiaomi branches only. If you want to play with Xiaomi custom roms/development/etc. related only buy Snapdragon based devices.
I i.e. learned it the hard way, when this all started with the Redmi Note 8 Pro, I bricked it by flashing twrp in Android 11 and Xiaomi didn't want to repair it, so I had to pay some russian guy to fix it via Teamviewer with a modified unlock tool which was able to answer the unlock requests by pasting the answer manually from a generator. It's not like I messed up at a point, it's just that Mediatek devices easily fall in a unrecoverable state. In my term it was the combination of Android version and twrp. You will note there is no Mediatek support on xda and even when your device is named like a Snapdragon version, your device is offtopic here, because trying anything on it beyond unlocking the bootloader is harakiri

how to unlock my bricked Redmi Note 11 Pro 5g (Chinaissarro) Bootloader​
Congratulation. Brick without unlocked BL :/
my opinion: you are done....
Some Xiaomi devices have pins on motherboard to
switch EDL, but i dont know with this device.
Try complaint and say something like: "my phone was upgraded and then i see only logo"

I did the same with my device. You can fix it using the MTK tools guide. Its lengthy but easy.
