Hi All,
I think I soft bricked my device, after installing YouTube Vanced from Magisk my screen went all nuts, random apps were started and the device became unusable. I uninstalled Vanced but the weird behavior kept going on.
So I decided to do a Nandroid backup restore from within Blu Spark TWRP. After a reboot the device does not come up with the restored OS (Oxygen Pie 9.0.2) I can't boot into Blu Spark so basically I can't do nothing except get into bootloader every now and then. I tried to flash TWRP (fastboot flash recovery twrp.img) I see that it flashes but then I can't get into TWRP. Fastboot boot twrp.img doesn't work either.
I followed this guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665) but that didn't work either.
What can I do to get the stock rom installed and get the device working again?
Thanks for any help!
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
fastboot flash system_a system.img
fastboot flash system_b system.img
Thank you! Where do I get the system.img?
Found them, I will try.
ADB devices doesn't find my device, the device keeps coming back in the bootloader but then I can't ADB anything because the device is not found. What now?
I did:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
fastboot flash system_a system.img
fastboot flash system_b system.img
Looks like the files got written to the device, the rebooted and then I got the unlock screen then the screen goes to black with a blue led burning. Thats all that happening. Anybody any advice?
download unimod and uninstall just that magisk module
Hello.yesterday i tried to root my OnePlus 7 pro.i unlocked the bootloader first and then I have installed the twrp on slot a and slot b.then I have installed magisk,from this moment the WiFi on my phone stopped working.(when I am turning them on the automatically turned off)I tried again to flash stock ROM and twrp but when I install magisk I had the same problem.Then somehow I accidentally bricked the phone and today I have the stock ROM with unlocked bootloader and I need your help to root.
You my friend need to learn how to write clearly xD.
Continuing where you left off this is how you achieve root with Magisk:
1.Boot into the bootloader
2. Using cmd (I assume you installed ADB drivers and fast boot drivers already if not Youtube a guide) use the following command:
fastboot boot <twrp image file here>
once you're in TWRP you can flash the TWRP install ZIP.
Once you're done with that Reboot -> Recovery.
3. Flash Magisk and you're done.
I doubt you're really bricked. Since you have the bootloader unlocked just do the button combo to get into recovery or the bootloader.
Thats the method i did.the real problem is the magisk.are there stable or better magisk versions?
The phone now is stock and unrooted

How is it not stable?
I dont know if i did something wrong.the only difference from HermitDash method is that this comand (fastboot boot <twrp image file here>) not worked for me so i used this
fastboot flash boot_a path-to-twrp.img" and this fastboot flash boot_b path-to-twrp.img"

I dont understand why they say after you boot into twrp from fastboot to reflash twrp.zip file in twrp. I never do and it still works the same. And when you do flash the twrp.zip it says your now unrooted flash magisk. And when you flash magisk it actually then unroots magisk. The best way to root the oneplus 7 pro is using payload extractor and patching the boot.img with magisk. and booting magiskpatched.img then after installing the magisk manager go to modules and flash twrp from there. alot easier.
Can you explain this easier method you said here to try it as i am a noob?

Follow this guide and you won't need to use the patched boot,img file. I've never liked using the patched boot img.
Thank you GeekMcLeod your method worked

It's just easier than having to manually extract the boot.img
fastboot boot twrp is just to get twrp up and running then flashing the script actually installs it.
Yes it does say that it'll unroot you but for those that are unrooted already this step doesn't do anything.
After flashing you reboot TWRP so it works fresh post-script.
Then install magisk as usual and reboot to system done.
This is if you want both TWRP and Magisk all done at the same time vs booting the boot.img installing Magisk then installing TWRP where I can have it all done within TWRP which is the usual route people take to get to root.

Fastboot boot twrp just remotely boots a "temporary" (one time) instance of TWRP, but does not install TWRP to the device. Flashing the TWRP installer zip is for installing TWRP on the device. This is optional and a matter of personal preference, and not needed to achieve root. What the installer zip does, is extract the boot.img and injects TWRP, then installs that modified boot.img back to the phone.
And when you do flash the twrp.zip it says your now unrooted flash magisk.
Correct. When the installer zip patches the boot.img to install TWRP (as described above), root is removed.
And when you flash magisk it actually then unroots magisk.
Not correct. Magisk roots the phone. If you flashed Magisk and did not have root, what may be happened, is that you may have flashed Magisk to one slot, then somehow booted to the other (unrooted) slot.
The best way to root the oneplus 7 pro is using payload extractor and patching the boot.img with magisk. and booting magiskpatched.img then after installing the magisk manager go to modules and flash twrp from there. alot easier.
Manually patching the boot.img is certainly a valid way to achieve root, and maybe more reliable. I'd hesitate to say it is "easier".
Also, if you flash TWRP as a Magisk module, you will still need to flash Magisk again to have root. Flashing TWRP by that method will still unroot the phone, same as the other method (as I described above).

You did it wrong. Those two command do completely different things. So the difference in commands is a big one.
As I mentioned above, fastboot boot TWRP.img just remotely boots a temporary (one time) instance of a boot.img that has been patched to include TWRP. Then the correct way to install TWRP to the phone is (from the temporary booted TWRP) flash the TWRP installer zip, which properly extracts your phone's boot.img partition, patches it to install TWRP, then installs the modified boot.img back to the phone.
Fastboot flash boot TWRP.img does something completely different. It flashes the img to the boot partition. "Flash" is the action in this case, and "boot" is the location (not the action). The TWRP img is not meant to be installed to the phone. Don't know for sure, but I highly suspect that boot.img has some differences depending on your 7 Pro model. So when folks incorrectly flash TWRP.img, they are replacing the phone's kernel and breaking WiFi, and sometimes cell network and/or Bluetooth. Again, the correct way to install TWRP is to use the installer zip (as described in the previous paragraph) which properly takes your phones specific boot.img and patches it.
What folks should understand, is that A/B partition devices (like the 7 Pro) do not have a discrete recovery partition. Recovery is part of the boot partition, which also contains the kernel. So by doing "flash boot" you are messing with the kernel in ways you should not, and therefore results like broken WiFi is not surprising.

Magisk if fine. Your issues are due to pilot error, as I've described above.
Hello to all,
i've been trying since 1 week now to root an Ulefone Armor 8, but it doesn't work. All drivers are installed. The OS installed on the device is Android 10, the build version is X70WSFFB.GQU.EEA.FHJ.Q0.TJAPA9VDYPTS.0703.V3.01. I have already contacted Ulefone and asked if there is another build version (for EU), but it is the only one currently available.
In the firmware there are two boot.img. One is called "boot.img" and the other is called "boot-debug-img". First I only patched the "boot.img" with Magisk and flashed the patched "magisk-patched.img" via ADB. After that the Armor 8 had a bootloop. The bootloop could be removed by flashing the original "boot.img" via ADB. The Armor started normally again.
After that I patched the "boot.img" and the "boot-debug.img" with Magisk and renamed them to "magisk-patched1.img" and "magisk-patched2.img". After that I flashed first the " magisk-patched1.img" and then the " magisk-patched2.img" via ADB. The Armor 8 then had a boot loop again. To get the bootloop away, the original "boot.img" was flashed back and Armor 8 is back in its factory default state.
How can it be rooted, what should I do differently? Could it be because there are two "boot" files in the firmware?
Sorry if my english is not perfect.
Thanks for your help and tips.
Greetings
https://www.getdroidtips.com/root-ulefone-armor-8/
I have tried that too, but it doesn' t work.
I flashed the "boot.img" with Magisk, from this Magisk created the file "patched_magisk.img". I moved this file to the ADB folder. After that I did it again with the file "boot-debug.img". Then I put the armor in fastboot mode and first I entered the command "fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img".
ADB writes: writing 'boot_ a'... FAILED (remote: This partition doesn't exist)
After that I still moved the patched "boot-debug.img" into the ADB folder and entered the command "fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img".
ADB writes: writing 'boot_b'... FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
Magisk didn't create 2 patched files from 1 "boot.img", but in the unpacked ROM there are 2 .img files, namely "boot.img" and "boot-debug.img", which I patched one after the other and then flashed.
I have also downloaded the firmware of Armor 7. Of course not to install it, just to see if there are 2 boot.img (= boot.img + boot-debug.img) in it, too. For Armor 7 there is only 1 file "boot.img". For Armor 8 in the firmware there are "boot.img" and "boot-debug.img"
I have now tried overall:
just flash the patched "boot.img" = bootloop
flash only the patched "boot-debug.img" = bootloop
then first the patched "boot.img" and then the patched "boot-debug.img" = bootloop
Now just now again with the command "fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img" = error message and then continue with the command "fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img" = error message.
I think the problem is that there are 2x boot.img files in the ROM?
Edit:
And the SP-Flash-Tool shows that I should remove the battery, but the Armor has a fixed battery.
The SP Flash Tool now works after reinstalling the Vcom driver.
I have now extracted the boot.img of Armor 8 with the SP Flash Tool via "Readback". This file was then patched with Magisk. The file "magisk_patched.img" is together with the file boot.img in the same folder.
This was then flashed to the Armor with the SP Flash Tool in "Download only" mode. The flashing process is running normally and finally "Download Ok".
After that the Armor 8 will start normally and without bootloop, but it still has no root.
Does anyone have an idea?
I also have an armor 8 and I noticed that when u enter developer mode u can unlock the bootloader from there. Which allows you to install root access more successfully
after tapping on the kernel build go back and enter the option where it says system. There u will find the developer options.
after that, I had to follow some steps from this video
I got the stock ROM from the Ulefone website https://www.ulefone.com/support/software-download.html
where I was able to get the boot.img and patch it with magisk however I kept on getting a boot loop so I'll probably figure out another way to root it
1st
2nd
ignore
Have you succeeded yet? I am interested in this phone but want to be sure it can be rooted
Instead of trying to patch it from fastboot, just try booting! Follow the instructions below.
You may want to try the following steps: Just ignore the part about using their rom since it is a different phone. You should be using the Ulefone ROM
[Guide] Install Magisk on your device, updated to handle OTAs easily
[Update in 1st September 2018] Magisk v17 stable has been released, so the August security update: a new method, more OTA-compliant, is written. Hi all, this section is quite gaunt, so I'll post my experience on unlocking and rooting my brand...
forum.xda-developers.com
So save you some clicking, I'll just paste the relevant part below:
How to root
0. You need "debug usb" and "oem unlock" enabled under "developer options" on phone's settings.
1. First, if you don't have already done it, unlock phone's bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
ATTENTION: THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE, ALL USER DATA WILL BE LOST! And no, when you'll have finish this guide, you can't lock it again (each lock-unlock operation will wipe the device)
2. Download ROM system image from official site. Pay attention to download the corresponding version of your actual OS (look in system settings your current build number).
3. Extract "boot.img" from the just downloaded archive and put somewhere in your device (e.g. in a microSD, just remember where you put it).
4. Download and install Magisk Manager apk.
5. Open Magisk, choosing "yes" when it asks to install Magisk-v*.zip, then choose "patch boot image" and select "boot.img" copied in step 3.
6. At the end of patching process, Magisk will tell you where "patched_boot.img" is been stored, keep a note on it and close.
Now's the updated part, that will make possible to apply OTAs:
7. Copy "patched_boot.img" on your computer, then run this on a terminal:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot patched_boot.img
fastboot reboot
This will temporarily give you root privileges (until next reboot).
8. Magisk Manager can now make the root permanent: open it and tap "Install", then "direct install (recommended)". This way (instead of flashing directly patched_boot.img) Magisk Manager can remove and reinstall root privileges directly.
9. Just to be sure that your phone doesn't install updates without your acknowledgement, go to Developer Options and disable "Automatic system updates".
Ta-dà! Now you should have Magisk permanently installed (you can check it re-opening Magisk Manager).
-------------------------------------------------------
Time to update? Here's how
If you've followed what is written above, applying an OTA should be quite easy now.
a. Go to Magisk Manager → Uninstall → Restore Images. Do not reboot now or you will have Magisk uninstalled!
b. Now go to Settings → System → System Update and apply OTA. If it fails you've some tweak on system partition that you've forgot to remove, so try to figure it out and retry. Wait for the installation to complete. DO NOT RESTART NOW.
c. Open Magisk Manager again and press Install → Install to Inactive Slot.
d. Reboot and enjoy
-----------------------
PLEASE ADVISE IF THIS WORKS!
As the guy clearly mentioned, there's a boot.img and a debug_boot.img whenever i try to patch any of that and use fastboot to flash it I only get a bootloop
The bootloader is already unlocked and there's nothing else I can do to get this phone rooted
There's also no twrp currently supported for.it and that's pretty much it
I just needed help with this but it seems like this phone is very unknown and unsupported

Have you explicitly tried
fastboot BOOT patched_boot.img
just BOOTING the patched boot image. just ignoring the the flash command for now.
This shouldn't cause a bootloop since it'll just revert back to the virgin boot.img
TWRP isn't needed for rooting.
Thank you for sharing this , I will try it later today and let you know what happens.

Bootloop
Finally, I successfully rooted! Procedure is the same as in the post 7, but before flashing patched boot you should flash empty vbmeta image:
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_null.img
and then:
fastboot flash boot boot_magisk_patched_root.img
and reboot to system:
fastboot reboot
I attached empty vbmeta and patched boot.

First,
Find the boot.img of your firmware
Patch it using magisk app
Find a patched vbmeta of your phone's version
Move those to your pc and into the folder where fastboot is found
Reboot to fastboot mode and connect it to your pc
Type fastboot devices to check if it is connected
Type fastboot flash boot nameoffile.img(the boot file name)
Type fastboot flash vbmeta nameoffile.img(the vbmeta file name)
Restart the phone either manually or using fastboot reboot
you should also put this command to avoid bootloop or any problem with booting your phone
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta nameoffile.img(vbmeta file name)
The easiest method is by downloading magisk latest apk from the github and rename it to Magisk.zip and flash it with your custom recovery

When you rooted did you do fastboot flash or fastboot boot and then direct install in Magisk app?
I did the following:
Fastboot boot "patchedbootimage".img
Fastboot flash boot_a "patchedbootimage".img
Fastboot flash boot_b "patchedbootimage".img

Then you can't restore your original boot image from Magisk. You should only ever do fastboot boot and then use direct install in Magisk. Unfortunately the latest full rom available for your device is LE2115_11_F.17, so I think your only chance is that someone share a stock F18 boot image so that you can flash it and then update.

First command, you booted the patched boot image. All good. From there, install/open Magisk app and then select direct install option, and Magisk will automatically back up the stock boot and then flash the rooted boot.
Second commands shouldn't have been run.

Here is the stock unrooted F.18 boot.img. Make sure to extract it first.
So I was able to remove root by first following the same commands I used to root in the first place with the boot image you provided. However, I cannot update to F20 using the system update. It keeps failing
Ok, this time, you have to flash this unrooted boot.img that I provided. NOT just boot it like you do when trying to root. The system will check the flashed boot.img then proceed with OTA.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reboot, then try OTA update.
When you have the latest F.20 successfully booted, if you want root, you can get that boot.img through MSM readback feature. Or, I have F.20 boot.img too, and you can ask for that.

I followed your steps and it still gives an installation error. Just to make sure, I uninstalled magisk through the magist app as well. Further, I did some research on the MSM readback feature. Can you link me to the correct one to use?

The MSM Tool for Global thread is here, but the download link in first post is incomplete. You can download the full tool from here. Make sure to download the correct package. The global one also works for LE2110 (the Chinese model).
So you have flashed my boot.img, and then you are updating from where? Through system update OTA, or from zip file downloaded with Oxygen Updater app?

The MSM Tool for Global thread is here, but the download link in first post is incomplete. You can download the full tool from here. Make sure to download the correct package. The global one also works for LE2110 (the Chinese model).

I tried both methods and both fail (through system update OTA, and from zip downloaded with oxygen updater app)
I did the following:
fastboot boot "stockboot"
fastboot flash boot "stockboot"
AND I TRIED THIS TOO:
fastboot boot "stockboot"
fastboot flash boot_a "stockboot"
fastboot flash boot_b "stockboot"

Why do you always "fastboot boot......" and then "fastboot flash boot...."?
Generally, fastboot boot.... will make you phone boot up the given image temporarily (whether it's a boot image or a bootable recovery image). Whereas, fastboot flash boot.... will permanently flash the given image. Normally, you only have to go with one of these methods depending on your task/goal.
Anyway, since you have flashed the stock unrooted boot.img and OTA is still failing, I suggest you just back up your personal data (photos, stuff) to PC or whatever, and then go with the MSM tool method. It will wipe all your data on phone, and revert your phone to OOS11 with locked bootloader. From there, you can take OTA updates all the way upto OOS13 F.20. This seems to be the simpler way to get out of your current predicament.
How to use MSM tool:
1. Download the package according to your device/variant, and extract it.
2. Power off your phone and keep it aside. DO NOT connect your phone to PC for now.
3. Run the MSM tool exe. It will take a couple of minutes to load.
4. Click on Target drop-down menu and choose O2 if you are on Global.
5. Click Start. It will go to Waiting for Device mode.
6. Now on your phone (which should already be powered off), press & hold both the vol+ and vol- buttons (NOT the power button) and connect the data cable from PC to your phone. Your phone's screen will still stay black and it will enter EDL mode.
7. The MSM tool will start flashing as soon as the connection is successful.
Note: You need to have OnePlus device drivers on PC.
I appreciate the support. Can you also provide me with the F20 boot image by any chance.
Sure. Stock unrooted F.20 boot.img attached. Make sure to unzip it.
By the way, if you have MSM tool, you can get your current boot.img from its readback feature. Super simple. Launch MSM tool. Press F8. Select the desired boot image (boot_a or boot_b). Enter the password as: oneplus. Click read. Power off phone, and get it into EDL mode by pressing holding vol- vol+ buttons then connecting data cable from PC. The desired boot.img will be dumped in C: drive.
Also, F.21 has just been released, so you better update to that. I haven't yet as I am currently on crDroid.
Anyway, F.20 boot has been attached.
