[Q] ONE+ Chinese Import / Flash to Bacon issue ? SOS

Hi XDA.
I will try and make as much sense as i can as i am new to rooting etc. Please forgive me if i use incorrect terminology.
Ok so i purchased a Chinese One+ and tried to follow instructions on a YouTube video on how to flash it to the current Cy OS.
This didn't work as planned as my One+ said that there was an issue with "E Footer" so i then followed these instructions to install it via command prompt. (being a new user i cannot post an external link to show you the instructions i followed) However a Google search of E footer is wrong will take you straight to them.
This went well and the install was complete however i was unable to get any signal with my phone network EE. The sim works in my nexus 4 so that isn't an issue.
So i now want to re flash the device using the one plus toolkit but i have hit upon a few snags.
1. I have followed the USB driver guide but cannot find the Samsung drivers on the system to show up to allow me to complete the link between the phone and my win 7 machine.
So currently my One+ shows in device manager as A0001 and not a Samsung android device as the guide illustrates.
2. Do i need o unlock bootloader to flash?
3. The download CM115 link when pressed gives a 403 error so i have downloaded CM11s via an external download but am unsure what one file in the package i need to select to start the flash.
This is all academic however until i manage to get the phone to show as a Samsung Android.
Any help would be appreciated as i am stuck.
Thanks J

Download this: http://builds.cyngn.com/factory/bacon/cm-11.0-XNPH38R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip
Extract it, reboot your phone to fastboot, connect it via USB and double click the flashall.bat in the extracted folder.

If this works.....
You sir are a legend
Doing it now.....

Im really sorry but there appears to not be a flashall.bat file within the zip.

Go to command prompt and type fastboot reboot. Does the phone reboot?

I've just installed the 15 second ADB installer. However it still isnt working. Here is another screenshot. Thanks again for your help.

Solved the driver issue.
I have jumped onto a dedicated windows machine instead of bootcamp.

Not a problem, anything for a fellow xda user. So fastboot works? Make sure you have the fastboot folder for CM11s on the new PC. Here is the flashall.bat: https://mega.co.nz/#!9UAQRKJS!Kuau0ulgCrxrvE5wBH5Ib54Bv6E64U1RkXje_ONMxUc download it and put it in the folder with the rest of the files and double click it. It should work.

Fastboot is installed however its not rebooting the phone. 4 drivers were installed but it states "waiting for device"
Does the phone need to be in fastboot mode?

Yes, just to test the drivers.

Right got that working but we now have this..
I think we are close!

Ah I see, I think your download had an error
Maybe try it again and make sure the downloaded file is around 487mb

This is the size it should be

Ok re-downloading now.
What state should the phone be in to get this to work. Should I have de-bugging enabled and MTP?

How to install January 5th patch while using custom recovery and root on Google Pixel

Okay, I am sure a lot of you already know how to do this to your Pixel. Some of us do not, and I was one of them. I am the standard noob that just followed Youtube videos to unlock previous carrier locked phones. I am now enjoying this Google Pixel that is unlocked!
So if you are reading this thread, hopefully there isn't another one just like this (yes I looked).
To start off, if you are in here reading this, you have unlocked your bootloader and installed a custom recovery such as TWRP and rooted. Now you are seeing that you need to update your phone with the latest security patch. You try and you try and you can't do it. Even when you unroot it will still fail to update, or at least it did for me. Here I will explain what I went through and did to obtain the latest update. (Warning, you will loose root and custom recovery). THIS IS INTENDED FOR THE GOOGLE STORE PURCHASED PHONES
Lets get this started finally.....
Go into your developer options and enable usb debugging.
Download the newly released package file from google that has fastboot and ADB without needing android SDK.
DOWNLOAD or read about it HERE
Now you will need to download the Factory Image for you device
Find your correct device HERE
Make sure you choose the correct device and correct update, for me I downloaded the "7.1.1 (NMF26U, Jan 2017)" for my Pixel. Also a USA phone.
So now you have the adb fastboot binary package and your factory image. You will need to extract the platform-tools-latest-windows.zip and open the folder and you will see another folder, open it and now you will see a bunch of files. Now open another window and extract your factory image. Once it is done, open the folder until you see the files. Now copy these into the Platform tools folder in the directory with the fastboot.
Once this is done your folder should look like this:
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now you will want to right click "flash-all" and click edit. It will open notepad and show the contents of the batch file. You can hit Ctrl+F and type in -w in the search and hit okay, or you can look for it without search (it is near the bottom). Once you find it, just delete the "-w" and save the file. Make sure to keep it as the batch file or this won't work.
Once this is done, in the folder that is shown above, click a blank area in the folder so no file is highlighted. Now hold shift and right click, it will come up with a dialog saying open command window here, click that.
Now we are going to reboot the phone into bootloader mode. In the command window, type everything that is underlined below
adb reboot bootloader
Now your phone should have booted into the bootloader screen or it should be asking for USB rights to use adb. If it asks for permission, hit okay and re run the code above and your phone should reboot.
Once you are in the bootloader screen you will need to do is run the flash-all.bat. It will load and go though some text on the CMD window it brings up. It will say some files are missing, which is fine. But if it fails it will tell you that it did. You can also tell by rebooting the phone or click "start" in the bootloader mode and then checking for OTA updates. It should say January 5th patch installed.
Now you can go through and install your custom recovery again and re root. Which takes no time at all and I am sure someone on here has posted before. If not, let me know and I can make a tutorial over it.
Note: I am very sorry for the bad layout and extended write up. First time ever doing this and I am hoping to help people. If there are any errors, let me know!

All of this is already well known and documented. It is device molding 101
No one with 2 licks of common sense uses YouTube videos for something like this.

Not a problem ?

I know you say this is for the GPS version, but has anyone tried it on Verizon? I'm not sure if the firmware is the same on both phones, so I don't want to soft-brick by downloading the Google version if they're different. Same boat as you were, OTA fails even after unrooting.

As long as you never re-lock your bootloader, the process is the same. There's no more separate Verizon images, just USA and international.

This is really complicated. ADB side load the OTA file, reinstall TWRP and root, done.

Good work. This is a very minute stuff of removing -w from the batch file. Very handy work.

Do you need to reflash stock kernel before removing root/TWRP before flashing?

Flashing the image overwrites anything you customized besides the regular user data and internal storage (with the -w removed). You don't have to remove or reflash anything else before following these instructions.

I couldn't side load the update.. TWRP would not load the side load feature.

I'm having an issue also: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/help/sideload-ota-t3534926... Can we just unroot, take the OTA and then reroot?

Even when I un rooted mine. I was still failing to get the update.

If you made any changes the the system partition then it will fail and simply unrooting doesn't make the all the changes needed. So if OTA mean anything to you then I would suggest not messing with your device as there is Jo promise that after an OTA you will be able to root again tonight away

I know the past 2 were the same for google pixel and Verizon pixel but I wouldn't assume they are always going to be. I'm sure some of them will be specific at times whenever Verizon decides they wanna mess with them

FYI, I was able to sideload after updating TWRP to RC1, but now SuperSU 2.79 will install from within TWRP but when the phone restarts SuperSU is not installed... not sure if we have to wait until a new version of SuperSU is released.

[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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"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...

Hi Guys,
I'm super new to the whole topic and am only doing this because I have a spare smartphone and wanted to learn something.
The bootloader is unlocked.
The USB drivers are installed on the PC.
USB Debugging is turned on.
Smartphone states "Orange State [...]" while booting.
Then I tried to extract the boot.img via the "MTK Droid Root & Tools v2.5.3" to flash this later with Magisk. But here I got the following error message:
Spoiler: MTK Error
The same messages have been there before I did anything on the smartphone for the first time.
From DE to ENG:
--->>> Connect to device <<<---
--- ERROR: --- TotalBytesPerChunk Not Found. Set default Page/Spare=2048/64 !!!--- unknown ROM structure, backup NOT possible!ATTENTION! a file (/system/recovery-from-boot.p) which restores the stock recovery in case of normal phone startup was found!
So I flashed a stock rom here from
Spoiler: link
Umidigi A7 Pro Stock Firmware ROM (Flash File)
Download Official Umidigi A7 Pro Firmware (original flash file) without any password for Free. We also provide the Stock Rom for other Umidigi devices.
xdafirmware.com
to the phone via the SP Flash Tool (because I did something that enabled the first Boot Loop), the phone restarts in factory state succesfully, I set it up once and then installed Magisk, and using Magisk patched the boot.img of the from I downloaded.
However, when I now want to flash it via the flash tool, this error message appears:
Spoiler: Flash Tool Error
And suddenly I am in boot loop. As soon as I flash the original boot.img, the phone starts as usual.
I have also tried the whole thing via TWRP, and as soon as I install Magisk.zip via the TWRP the boot loop angers me again. Also MTK still shows the same error.

I'm happy about anything that helps me out getting this phone rooted

Sorry my friend that noone has yet to have replied to your inquiry here. Ill do my best to give you some of the knowledge I have when it comes to setting you in the right direction without failure next time. Today and for the last month or so I have been working hard with the Umidigi a7 pro 64gb. To be clear are you making sure to flash the magisk zip file of the boot.img file that you saved from the stock firmware. You shouldn't have to fiddle around with to many of the settings just when you do flash the patched file you have to make sure to uncheck everything other then boot.img patched file. I am very new to this as well and honestly it's a tricky process to get it ever done right on your first attempt. You seem to have and know enough knowledge on this topic. MTK is a finnacky processor. I myself have yet to get this device fully rooted yet. The issue I myself have is my PC is not properly updating the MTK and other drivers to make the magic happen which I think I am just going to have to get my other dell going again to try on a fresh PC that I just set up again for this exact thing. To my most recent knowledge though when it comes to the Umidigi a7 pro you have to follow each and every step closely and to a exact precise t or the whole operation will fail every time you try. Are you using your micro SD card to it's full potential and making sure that you saved the patched file properly. You also have to watch for corrupt files when it comes to this kind of thing. But you know enough to just trust the pages you are downloading your files from and make sure everything is signed and legit. Another thing is what seemed to help me is removing SP flash tool completely from my PC. Then re downloading it and starting from scratch by flashing your stock scatter file and I find when flashing hold the power button when it starts for just a few seconds only some people think to keep holding the power button through the entire flash process but to my knowledge what has worked from a noobs perspective is hold power for just a few seconds until the full load of the red bar comes and then when it goes away you can let go of power button and it will continue on with the rest of the manual installment process. There are a lot of high technical highs and lowes when it comes to what you can do here and from the info I've gotten MTK devices weren't really meant to be able to withstand even being remotely compatible devices for root. Honestly let me know how things are going lately for you as I know this post is a bit old. I myself have came close to periodically throwing this phone as far out of the window as it can reach, I'm not a quitter by any means and still today and even right now m working on that to try to help others in any way i possibly can and today I will get this device into full root accesss.

Question How can I root the Motorola Edge 30?

All i can find are tutorials for the Neo and Pro versions of this device. Can this version be rooted? How?

Well, don't get me wrong, but if that's all unknown to you ... you'd better don't root your device ;-).
The risk to brick your device or open unforseen security wholes is quite too large, you'd better read some tutorials about flashing roms and customizations before trying to get into the world of Magisk.

Instead of being helpful you give some strange lessons it seems to me that you are useless here. If someone asks you politely for help, explain it to them. Every phone unlocks differently.

The best thing to do is not to write anything anymore, you are no help here and it is better to disappear. This is a forum for development, not for throwing obstacles under someone's feet. Rooting this phone is trivial, just extract the boot.img from the rom you are using, not from any other, and in magisk make a patch, instructions you will find below the post. If you don't know what is going on don't write nonsense to anyone.

At first, you need to connect your device to PC via USB cable.
Next, head over to the platform-tools folder, then you have to type in CMD in the address bar and click enter. Command Prompt window will popup.
Now type the below command to boot your device into fast boot mode:
adb reboot bootloader
Next, you will need to get your device-specific unlock token. For that, execute the below command:
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
You will now get an alphanumeric character, that you have to copy all of the codes without the bootloader prefix. To follow this step, you may copy all the commands, paste it in a Notepad, and then delete the bootloader prefix. Further, make sure that there isn’t any space between any line of codes.
Now go to Motorola Unlock page and sign-in with your account. After this, copy that code and paste that into provided space. Then tap on the “Can my device be unlocked button”
Then, you will receive a Unique Key on your email. In normal scenerio, the code usually takes a few minutes to reach your email. But if not wait for few more minutes and you will get the code.
Go back the command prompt window and execute the below command. In the following command replace the UNIQUE_KEY with the key that you have received from Motorola.
fastboot oem unlock UNIQUE_KEY
Your bootloader is unlocked, after the whole process is done which will take few minutes. Now if your device doesn’t reboot to the system then you can use the below command to do it manually.
fastboot reboot
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE UNLOCKED THE BOOTLOADER OF YOUR DEVICE. NOW LET’S PROCEED TO ROOT THE DEVICE
2. ROOT MOTOROLA EDGE 30, PLUS ecc......​Thera are two ways root motorola edge plus: one is flashing SuperSu Zip with TWRP Recover and another one patching the boot.img file. Currerntly, there is no TWRP Recovery for motorola edge plus, so we will be choosing the latter (patching) option.
Instructions Steps:​
First download the stock firmware and extract the firmware file. Now search the stock boot file which would be named as boot.img. Copy this file to your Motorola edge plus.
Install Magisk Manager which you have downloaded earlier.
After installation, open magisk manager and tap on Install > Install > Select and Patch file (Here you have to select the boot.img file)
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Magisk will start the patching process which will take just a few seconds.
After the patching process is done, you should see the magisk_patched.img in your internal storage’s Downloads folder.
Now you have to transfer magisk_patched.img to your platform-tools folder. Open CMD in this folder by searching “CMD” in the address bar and hit Enter.
Connect Motorola edge plus with PC via USB Cable and type the following command:
adb reboot bootloader
Now you have to flash magisk_patched.img and for that type the following command:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
The process will take only a few seconds. Once its complete, you may reboot your device via the following command:
fastboot reboot
Now you can open magisk manger and very the root as well.
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ROOTED YOUR MOTOROLA EDGE PLUS.

There is another solution for making Root on Telegram groups. Unlock the bootloader and install TWRP then Magisk.

I did this as described, it works fine. I tried a couple of days with root and stock ROM but revert back to the original because of google wallet that didn't work suddenly.
