Yes
I downgraded to Andriod 10 and unlocked the bootloader, I installed Magisk and patched the bootimg. I ran the command fastboot boot flash and the partition was not found. I only have one partition. I am running Windows 10 Pro with Andriod SDK installed.

What version of ADB Platform Tools are you using?
Are you absolutely sure you're using the right firmware?
Why did you downgrade?
Are you following one of the several guides? If not, you should be.

[HOW-TO] Root Nokia 8 with Systemless Magisk

Reason for edit: Change title so more users can find this method since for now TWRP is working but not to root
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hello fellow XDA users,
On this post I'm going to explain how I got root on my own Nokia 8 TA-1004, please be patient because this is my first thread under any development section!!
I've been following all threads here on XDA and for the last few days its like a boom of new information, yesterday a Senior Member provided me with the Unlock Key generated with my IMEI1 and the phone's bootloader is now unlocked:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now the next logical part I would be installing TWRP to flash the magisk flashable zip to the phone, but there is no TWRP built to our phones (old information, there is now an official TWRP build)..
To my surprise there is this thread that offers boot images already patched with root ( @nummerok are they patched under magisk?), I tried flashing first with:
Code:
fastboot boot NB1-0-484A-00WW-boot.img
But it did not worked, no matter what the installed Magisk Manager would not find the Magisk Module on the system.
Then I found out that some users were getting root but with the problem of losing wifi connectivity, that was found to be the fault of the phone having the March Security Patch (00WW_4_84A_SP01) while flashing the boot image of the phone with the February Security Patch (00WW_4_84A).
As of this new A-B partition scheme on Android, when your boot image does not pass dm-verity it restores the older version automatically (Am I right on this point?? can please someone confirm?!)
Since my phone WAS on the march patch I saw no other option but to wait someone to grab the march boot image to patch it Magisk Manager and get root.
Buut since my generation doesn't like to sit and wait I found that there was a way to roll back to the previous firmware!
What I did was, run this code below on adb to know which slot my phone was:
Code:
adb shell getprop ro.boot.slot_suffix
Then take note of the slot and run:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
After the device starts up in Download Mode you need to switch to the other boot slot. Just run:
Code:
If you are currently on slot A, type this: [B][I]fastboot --set-active=_b[/I][/B]
Or on slot B type this: [B][I]fastboot --set-active=_a[/I][/B]
You should see something like this:
Code:
Setting current slot to 'a'... OKAY [ 0.046s] finished. total time: 0.046s
Now run the code below and cross your fingers!
Code:
fastboot reboot
Once the phone has booted, check in Settings/System/About Phone if your Android security patch level has downgraded to the February one and proceed to the next step.
I've downloaded the full NB1-484A-0-00WW-B03.nb0 firmware from @blackpanther0582 thread under the google drive link and extracted the boot image using the tool made by @heineken78 available over here (be sure to have lots of ram available for the unpack process :fingers-crossed.
With the file NB1-0-484A-00WW-boot.img at hand I've copied it to the Nokia 8 internal storage and ran Magisk Manager to patch it, follow instructions here under Via Magisk Manager (Only support v14.0+) part.
Now grab the patched_boot.img file provided by Magisk from the phone and save it (adb pull or whatever) to your pc and run these commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
After the phone boots up in Download Mode run:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a patched_boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b patched_boot.img
fastboot reboot
With that done, after the boot you can open Magisk Manager to see it fully installed and later on install some root checker app just to be sure of the sucess of your rooting:
Split-screen to the rescue lol
This Nokia 8 is officially rooted but with the previous February patch and I'm itching to install the March OTA provided by @2WildFirE here, any thoughts on that? What about the official system update that still lists the 2018-03 security patch? Would any of which work?
And that is all for now folks!
I would like to thank @the_laser @heineken78 @topjohnwu @blackpanther0582 @nummerok and many others in this invaluable path to learning more about this phone and the Android system in general!
Good Luck!!

That's the idea @2WildFirE !
btw just to make things clear, the official system update is running for like 10 hours and it seems it's not going anywhere.. would I get success by doing the march update thru the zip you've found?
Yep was working fine here, to bring my wifi back, but lost root [emoji6] what we Really need is twrp and or a method to extract the boot.img from the *. Bin file included in the update zip.

I used your method, but it doesn't work.
When I type "fastboot --set-active=_a",it shows "fastboot usage". I try it fifth time, but it still. I haven't deal anythings about root Nokia8, is it the reason ?

It should work only if you have your bootloader unlocked @contrahelix
You might get it unlocked officially by Nokia or wait for an alternative method.
Also you should update your adb/fastboot tools, then you would get the right error message telling you about the still locked bootloader!

For everyone with unlocked bootloader, this is the method to root without TWRP !
Now that we have unlocked bootloaders, is it possible that this can be updated to simply use the latest image instead of rolling back? Or are we still rolling back...

Twrp and Android 10. Fastboot flash recovery command failed even though bootloader is unlocked

The only command prompt that seems to be working is fastboot flash boot twrp.img but when I type fastboot flash recovery the flash fails. I use Minimal ADB and Fastboot command prompt. The latest version too. I downgraded my android 11 to 10 successfully. I have no problems rooting magisk through ADB but why can't TWRP permenantly stick? How can I force it to stick as my main recovery no matter what rom I flash?
Crap. I did not mean to say android 11 on the topic title. Wish I could edit it. I meant to say Android 10. Sorry for the confusion. Any tips of how to retain twrp? Having problems with my unlocked pixel 4a.
This guide shows you how to get TWRP to stick:

P4a doesn't have a recovery partition anymore, recovery is part of the boot.img. That's why the fastboot cmd fails.

You can't flash recovery on this phone. It's part of boot.img. Put the TWRP.img file in your internal storage of your phone. Flash the TWRP temporarily first. Fastboot boot TWRP.img. When TWRP boots, click install, then select install image. Choose your TWRP file and select install Ramdisk. Swipe to flash. TWRP will then be installed permanently. You must also be using a custom kernel with TWRP compression support because the partition is not big enough and must be compressed otherwise you will run into issues like TWRP freezing or touch screen issues.
I tried that and twrp still wont stick even after a OTA update flash. I installed ram disk twrp even after the update. What gives?
I fixed it. My mistake was flashing magisk boot img after the ramdisk installation and two kenel. I just flashed magisk.zip instead and got things working.

Yes, if you flash magisk boot img it will replace TWRP. Flashing the zip is the way to go. Glad you got it working.

I'm curious....you said you are on Android 10, but then you mentioned above installing an OTA update.....I thought all the currently available OTA updates are only for android 11?
My 10 cents worth. Magisk kills fastboot and adb in MY armor x5 mt6765, in 10_Q, so had no choice but to load boot-debug.img just to 'test'.
Try an android 9 bootloader designed for them 'super' .img's, this is the only way I could LOAD magisk, only to find what I read here.
Also note, in 10_Q, the gsi ability found in dev options dissapears when magisk is flashed, so I cant flash gsi, never mind use fastboot or adb.
Thank you.

I apologize in advanced for not answering your question directly....
But I'm guessing you may be having issues because you attempted to flash the factory image and are bootlooping or not loading the OS; and you had made sure to use the latest version of platform-tools.
I'm guessing this because the latest version of platform-tools (version r34+) has an established notorious bug that doesn't allow it to reboot into fastbootd mode to flash the rest of the partitions that can only be flashed there -- which seems to be the case for you.
If this is your case, you should be able to successfully flash the Full Factory image using the last platform-tools version that did not have said bug -- version r33.0.3. You can find a post to be able to download it below...
Using that version of PT, it should be able to flash all the necessary pertinent partitions and you should be up and running. Be sure to remove the "-w" from the flash-all file or your phone will be completely wiped and returned to stock. I don't imagine you need to flash it to both slots as you only need one slot stable to boot from; but if you wish, you could always reboot back to bootloader, switch slots, and run the flash-all on that slot -- just be sure to not try to boot into the OS from that slot until you've run the flash-all on it; lest your issue indirectly affected it and you may run into some problems.
Good luck and hope this helps...

Is that bug specific to Windows?

It is specific to that all version after 33.0.1. It doesn't allow the phone reboot to FastbootD. There for the partitions that need to flashed in fastbootD cannot occur.
I have personally used it to flash fastbootd images for the Radioactive kernel. No issues encountered using Linux.
I just tested it again:
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
It rebooted to fastbootd as expected. It's a Lineage fastbootd from when I tried Lineage 20. If it's not just a Windows thing, maybe it's how the stock fastbootd interacts.

The issue with any adb/fastboot version r33.0.3+ has more to do specifically with the flashing Google's Full Factory images (flash-all) than it is specifically in booting into fastbootd. This also explains why flashing kernels or other specifics still work. For complicated reasons, when running the fastboot "update" command, when needing to flash into the fastbootd mode for flashing certain images/partitions, it fails -- only really following through with the fastboot update protocol than merely just booting into fastbootd.
Most likely, the reason why all the partitions are corrupted/invalid/wrong that's supposed to be flashed in fastbootd for the OP is because of this reason. I'm jumping to that conclusion; but it makes sense.
Also, it is easier to download platform tools directly from Google's developer's site than downloading it as part of a package or taken from Android Studio or other. You can find it here (for Windows, Mac, & Linux): https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

[CLOSED] I can't install TWRP Custom Recovery on my Xiaomi Redmi 10 (selene). How do I do that?

Hello everyone, I want to install TWRP Custom Recovery on my Phone. But, when I tried some videos, all of them aren't working. But why?
I tried the following:
fastboot boot recovery.img (resulted: FAILED (status read failed (Too many links)))
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (resulted: FAILED (remote: This partition doesn't exist))
I tried also,
fastboot flast boot recovery.img (resulted: bootloop)
I checked many comments, most of them saying that it doesn't work, others say that there is no recovery partition
Now my recovery partition is gone, leaving only to restart instead.
So, is there something I can do about it? Is there a solution for this problem that I'm facing? Looking forward to replies.
My phone is a Xiaomi Redmi 10 (non-2022 edition), codenamed selene.
And this that I am using is the unofficial TWRP (ver 3.6.1).
Thank you.
Update: Nevermind, the recovery is there. Regular Xiaomi recovery.

Hello everyone, I want to install TWRP Custom Recovery on my Phone. But, when I tried some videos, all of them aren't working. But why?
I tried the following:
fastboot boot recovery.img (resulted: FAILED (status read failed (Too many links)))
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (resulted: FAILED (remote: This partition doesn't exist))
I tried also,
fastboot flast boot recovery.img (resulted: bootloop)
I checked many comments, most of them saying that it doesn't work, others say that there is no recovery partition.
Now my recovery partition is gone, leaving only to restart instead.

Couldn't install TWRP recovery on Redmi 10.
Yo guys, I have a feeling about this, but TWRP Can't. Be. Installed. On. My. Redmi 10? Because I said so. So, I wanted to install TWRP, but there was a problem. See, I tried tens of hundreds of videos, but to no avail. Tried commands like: fastboot boot recovery.img fastboot flash recovery...

It restarts to Stock ROM.
Tried different ports, cables, disabled driver signature enforcement, CMD and PowerShell, many restarts, but still the same error that I am occurring.
