Hello, this is not a guide for noobs.
At this point, i assume your BlackShark 1 is running a custom ROM, or a modification, and not it cannot update over OTA.
This guide helps you restore your BS1 SKR-H0 to Stock ROM, hopefully you can update it when the next OTA comes out.
This guide sets one of your partitions at system update G66X1906170OS00MPX.
You agree that by performing these operation, you risk bricking your device. I will probably not be there to help you recover.
There are a few steps:
Flash the stock images
Re-encrypt storage
Re-flash the stock files
Flash the stock images
Download the full backup from here: https://mega.nz/#!IZFAEAoC!UMHJ0drlhoHyGtV-0KYrtteC1VMP8-eqFWWrMXLZikQ
Extract the backup
Enter fastboot mode on your phone
Check which slot you are on, and which slot is definitely working. Try this on a slot that is broken, or that is not 100% working (in my case, slot a)
Run the following command for every partition:
Code:
fastboot flash <partitionname>_<slotname> <filename>
example: fastboot flash boot_a boot_a (if the slot you are overwriting is slot a)
or fastboot flash boot_b boot_a (if the slot you are overwriting is slot b)
Once finished, boot twrp, flash disableforceencrypt and magisk, and reboot into the system.
Reencrypt storage
First of all, backup ALL YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE, as it WILL GET WIPED IN THIS STEP. i warned you.
Once the system boots with the new version, go into stock recovery (adb reboot recovery, or enter bootloader > select start recovery)
Then reboot into the system. once the system boots, go to settings, security, encryption, and enable encryption. The phone should encrypt now. Wait for it to start encryption, finish, and get stuck at boot animation. This is the end of step 2.
Re-flash the stock files
This is the final and easiest step. If previous steps were performed correctly, then all you have to do now it the following:
from the stuck bootanimation, reboot to bootloader.
Flash 1 more time system, boot and vendor partition. This time DO NOT flash disableforceencrypt and magisk.
reboot into stock recovery
perform a wipe 1 more time.
reboot the system.
If done correctly, your phone should go into first time setup, with the stock OS, no internal error on boot, and you should be able to accept OTAs when they come. If OTA fails, Follow step 4:
(Optional) OTA Shows up again after finishing, and keep failing
If you restored your BlackShark to stock, and OTA does not finish (keeps coming back up), do the following:
If your backup is from slot a, and you are on it right now, run the following commands:
Make sure you are on the correct slot, with the correct backup!
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_a.img
fastboot flash system system_a.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor_a.img
fastboot flash dsp dsp_a.img
fastboot flash devcfg devcfg_a.img
fastboot flash bluetooth bluetooth_a.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo_a.img
fastboot flash modem modem_a.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_a.img
For the partitions dtbo and devcfg, i'm not sure if they need reflashing, however i found out that the others might be changed indirectly, and cause OTA to fail.
So just reflash those partitions from backup (Make sure to use the correct version/slot!)
Finally, if update still fails, you can connect your phone to pc, run adb logcat, and watch the logs just after update download is finished. If it fails, you will find some lines about a failed partition, with the partition name.
Special thanks to @leipnacht who provided me with stock file, so that i could restore my phone.
Big Thanks to this! I'm glad the stock files helped restoring your phone. This will surely help xda users as well when somethings go wrong with root coz some games will ban you if your phone is detected as rooted phone. This is very useful reference for everyone.
i need this for CN version too:crying::crying:

Thnks for the tutorial and sorry for my bad english
Hi! I do not understand. One month ago I used this tutorial and I could get the previous little OTA update. Now I tried again do the same steps, all of them, and I can't get the OTA. I tried it 5 times… I have a question, in this new update of android Pie is the camera slow motion enabled? Can someone upload the android Pie backup for flashing directly?

I didn't find any slow motion option in camera. When you try OTA, open adb logcat at the same time. It should show you an error regarding which partition was modified when OTA fails.
It's probably one of: Boot, System, Modem, DSP, DTBO, Bluetooth, Vendor (maybe also other ones)

i need it to do
i have cn version OTA package, after flash
it can use *#1027# to fully convert to chinese version , ota works fine.
maybe you need to ask blackshark to provide a Full OTA request to your phone. just say your phone is rooted ,and cannot update anymore, need a full ota to restore it.
we use this trick to get cn version full ota package and it works

Help Needed
Hi All,
Hope all is well.
Could anyone please help post a noob guide for this. I've flashing rooting etc thinf before but this one's really confusing for me. I would appreciate it greatly. I have a facebook group of BS1 Global user and they all wanted to restore their smartphone, I referred them to this thread but none of them seems to understand this tutorial. Pardon our ignorance. We would really appreciate it greatly.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Gilbert,
Thank you so much for posting this.
Your effort is greatly appreciated by us.
I am new to BS1 Global and I haven't done flashing rooting etc to this phone.
It would really help if there could be a step by step tutorial for users like me.
I would like to ask what files/tools are needed for this tutorial. I probably need pc? And probably need to install something on pc like drivers? What are they?
I'm guessing I need to unlock bootloader and root my bs1 global?
Also need to install twrp for bs1 global? And I don't know this disablforceencrypt and magisk thing.
Please please help post a noob tutorial for bs1 global that haven't been modified yet.
That would really be helpful, I look forward to your response. Thank you so much in advance.
Trying to root the Pixel 5 running Android 12 by flashing a magisk-patched boot image results in the phone only booting to fastboot mode ("failed to load/verify boot images")
Some users have reported that booting (instead of flashing) the patched boot image works and makes root temporarily available but i didn't have any success with that.
The phone booted up but root didn't work.
I won't explain how to unlock the bootloader or set up adb here.
!Warning! This will wipe your phone so take a backup!
Also i do not take any responsibility if you break your device.
And if anything goes wrong just factory reset your device using the Android Flash Tool or by following this tutorial.
Here's what i did to get Magisk v22.0 working on the first developer preview of Android 12:
Install A12 with disabled AVB & dm-verity:
Make sure USB-Debugging is enabled in developer-options and you have authorized the pc you're using on your phone.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode.
You can do this by turning it off and then starting it by holding Power + Volume Down
until fastboot mode appears or just adb reboot bootloader
Go here and click on the link for the Android Flash Tool.
(I didn't copy the link directly so i don't have to update it everytime google releases a new update)
It should ask you to allow the website to access ADB Keys. Click Ok.
If the website somehow doesn't work, try using Google Chrome.
Select your Pixel 5. If it's not showing up click add device.
Click on the edit symbol (pen) in the box where the selected build is shown.
Make sure Wipe Device, Disable Verity and Disable Verification are checked.
Install and boot the phone when it's finished.
Patch & flash boot.img
Download and install the Magisk Canary App from GitHub.
Download the factory image from here and extract boot.img from it.
(Inside the downloaded zip-file is another zip file containing the boot image)
Copy the extracted boot.img to your phone and open the magisk app.
Click on Install -> Select and Patch a File and let it do its magic.
Copy the magisk-patched boot image that should be found in your phones download folder back to your PC.
Reboot into fastboot mode as i explained earlier and flash the patched boot image.
(fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img)
Then reboot the device.
Now root should be working. If it bootloops and says your phone has to be factory reset, do it.
If for some reason you still get an AVB-Error and end up stuck in fastboot mode just flash the stock image and try to patch it again.
This is my first post on here and i didn't have much time but i'm glad if it helped at least one person.
Thanks for create this post.Works perfect,

Hey, thanks for this. FYI @LazerL0rd (zest kernel) detailed here (click on the spoiler) how to do this with just the command line and factory images and without the need for the AFT.

I keep on getting the AVB-Error to no end.

Unfortunately no, universal safetynet fix 2.0.0 by kdrag0n makes basicIntegrity pass but since the update to dp3 CTS still fails.
Dirty flashing newer factory images will restore the verity and verification state, so when you patch the kernel with magisk it will fail to boot again.
Installing a verity and verification disabled image without wiping from the web based flasher will also corrupt your data and not let the phone boot, forcing you to wipe.
Wonder what the flags are for flashing factory images with verity and verification state off and giving the ability to continue on without wiping and being able to boot the magisk patched kernel again.
fastboot update --disable-verity --disable-verification image-redfin-spp3210325.010.zip maybe?
Or prepatch the boot.img before flashing it with fastboot, and then flashing it back before rebooting from after flashing the factory image as an update?

I just installed the newest Public Beta via OTA. Can I root? I was rooted on 11 before and just enrolled in the beta program and installed it via OTA. Without factory reset or reflash. Now I tried patching boot.img via Magisk Manager, but it wont boot. I mean it boots, but wont unlock phone to homescreen. I'm locked out of my phone. Reverted back to stock PB1 boot image. Any ideas without factory reset?

I just tried it using the canary build and it won't boot either. It gets stuck at the Bootloader screen and shows "Failed to load/verify boot images". Maybe we need to wait for an update to for Magisk?

I'm on 11.2.2.2 global, successfully rooted with Magisk. When I follow the OTA update procedure -- uninstall Magisk, install the OTA update but don't reboot, install Magisk to inactive slot, and reboot -- everything appears to work and I don't get any errors, but when the phone boots up afterwards, it's still on 11.2.2.2.
I've tried with the both of the recent OTA updates and the result is the same. Am I doing something wrong, or is this expected when rooted, and I need to wait for the full ROM to be released by 1+?

Okay, I see you can't install incremental OTAs with an unlocked bootloader. Disappointing. Guess I am waiting for full updates.
It is written in a lot of guides. It works when you do it correctly. I got a oneplus 8 and it works without a problem.

Well I followed the same procedure when I flashed the full zip of 11.2.2.2, and it worked. So I don't see how I am doing it incorrectly.

My suggestion is to uninstall magisk (restore the stock image) and reboot. Then do the update and reboot. The use the 11.2.2 modified boot image in fastboot do: fastboot boot boot.img and when it boots let magisk install which will backup then modify the new boot image from 11.2.4.4 and voila you now have root and a backup of the newest boot image which will let you be able to update to the next Ota using this same method

Well I tried this and I'm really hosed now... phone will only boot to recovery after uninstalling Magisk and rebooting. I tried flashing the stock 11.2.2.2 boot.img from fastboot, and that didn't help either. I'm kinda stuck unless I can flash the full 11.2.2.2 from fastboot or recovery? I don't know how to do that.

What version OP9 are you using and what OS version and phone version boot images are you using?
Instructions are here for how to do a manual flash via fastboot. Basically extract with payload dumper and flash each image manually like in the example in the link.

Not sure what you mean by what version OP9?
I have 11.2.2.2AA installed, I've tried flashing the matching stock boot image, the magisk patched version of it, and even the stock 11.2.3.3AA boot image.
I found those instructions and I'm trying it, but I'm running into problems with the payload dumper (FileNotFoundError when attempting to dump).

And you're sure the boot images you've tried are for the global version? If all you've messed with is the boot image I don't see why the phone won't boot Before flashing any boot image it's best to do fastboot boot boot.img. It doesn't overwrite the boot image so in case it doesn't work a simple reboot will get you back up ad running.
Re payload dumber make sure you've CD'd to the right folder? I had the same error when I was trying to do it yesterday and it was because I hadn't CD'd to the right folder.
Have you got the files extracted?

I found them in the root thread in this forum, the user who posted them said they were for global, yes.
I did try using fastboot boot first, but I get this error:

So I just tried to flash instead, which flashes successfully, but then it fails to boot after and dumps me back into fastboot or recovery.
I know my way around the command line pretty well, so yes I'm in the right directory. Here's the full error when running extract_android_ota_payload.py:

I believe it's failing because it can't find xzcat. I am trying to install MinGW in an effort to resolve that.
The only boot image I haven't tried yet so far is 11.2.4.4 as I haven't been able to find a copy of that. I don't know why that would work when nothing else has though.

Yeah that was the first thing I tried, no dice.
You have 11.2.4.4 global on your phone right? Would you be able to retrieve the stock boot.img and upload it for me so I can try booting with that? It's a long shot but I'm desperate.

Uploaded to mega here
I found 2 backed up images and I wasn't sure which is 4.4 so I uploaded both to the link for you to try
So I tried fastboot flashing unlock_critical just now, and it fails and says Device already : unlocked!
I am finding that these instructions for restoring the OnePlus 8T do not work at all for the OnePlus 9. My phone boots straight to fastboot on slot a, and if I try fastboot reboot fastboot, it fails to boot to fastboot userspace.
On slot b, it will boot to fastboot userspace, which allows me to flash the partitions I extracted from the payload.bin, BUT the list of files is not the same as for the 8T. I flashed the ones that were in list, and a couple more that had similar names as missing ones, but it's still not a complete list. At no point have I done 'fastboot -w' as I don't want to wipe userspace.
I'm also not sure if I should try to flash every file it extracted to the equivalent partition name, as the instructions for the 8T don't do that.

I had a similar situation with the 7T (and 8T lol) and used the info from the link as a guide to flashing every partition. I did have to wipe the phone though but in the end it booted up which was the biggest concern I had
So my awesome OP7Pro got drowned and I had to get a new one. I foolishly let it update to 11.0.1.1 right away, because I thought I could still use my tried and true method of booting (not flashing) to TWRP and using that to flash Magisk, as I want root but I don't really need TWRP. This has always worked for me before, but when I tell the phone to fastboot boot the twrp image it just sits there with the Fastboot Mode image on the screen.
Plan B was to try to figure out how to patch my boot.img. I downloaded the 2.4GB zip vix Oxygen Updater and extracted it to get to the payload.bin, but I can't seem to get Python and Visual C++ set up right to help me extract the boot.img. Even if I get that done I'm not sure I really understand the specific next steps, though I think it is us adb to use Magisk to patch it, then use adb to boot via the patched boot.img, and then install magisk and let it patch the "real" boot image.
Any help in regaining root would be appreciated.
Found a kind sound who had posted a patched and original boot.img from 11.0.1.1, and I was able to use that and the steps I noted under Plan B to get things settled.

I just updated and phone runs smooth, no data loss during upgrade, magisk and lsposed works.

hey Marek, i was on android 12, i flashed twrp recovery then i relocked the bootloader!
so i was stuck in bootloader infinity loop, then i downgraded my phone to an very old firmware it is begin with 18 and ends with .raw archive format and mine was beginn 31 and ends wtih zip archive format (it has payload.bin) inside.
so i get failed flashing manuelly the last update of android 12 also the last update (android 13). OTA can nothing getting. what should i do now if you don't mind!?
Edit: the phone doesnt charging and loops now at logo
Hello, you should incrementally update from your version by downloading each upgrade package from Asus site which is newer then your current version and flash them one by one. Or you can find the newest package which you are able to install and repeat this procedure until you can flash the newest Android 13 package. Your current old firmware cannot unpack newest package so you need update by steps.

Other method (untested): Extract latest payload.bin and flash all partitions to inactive slot than change it to active using fastboot

hey, Thanks for replay, i am facing now another messeges.
1- the phone does not charging at all
2- when i plug in into chrage its reboot again and again.
3- the bootloader is open, but when i try to flash any files through bootloader i get:
FAILED (Status read failed (Too many links))
or
FAILED (remote: 'Warning: battery's capacity is very low
to recovery mode i am unable to go there
i tried boot or flash the twrp.img also only boot.img also flash_raw_and_wipe_data.cmd
nothing helps me!!!
Hello, can you try to keep phone on charger for a few hours? Maybe it will charge enough to enter recovery mode. You should never flash twrp by fastboot on a/b devices as they don't have recovery partition. Please restore stock boot.img extracted from payload.bin and after this try booting into fastbootD, not fastboot and then attempt flashing complete firmware package (raw). To boot into fastbootD, keep holding volume keys, when you see a bootloader screen use volume keys to select option "recovery mode". You should now enter stock recovery. Ussing vol keys select option "enter fastboot". You should be now in fastbootD. This is possible only with boot.img without twrp installed as fastbootD is a part of stock recovery, magisk is fine.
Remember to perform all flashing operations with usb port on the left side, the bottom one does not work in bootloader. And make sure you are using latest adb/fastboot binaries, these from popular auto-installers are usually outdated and may cause errors during flashing.

I've tried leaving it on overnight and it never charges, there's even no charging lights.
Yesterday I tried flashing via Bugjeager and it didn't work either (betwenn to android devices)
Although the bootloader is unlocked, it gives me a Not Allowed In Lock State message!
the current version of the installed firmware is that old that i flashed WW_ZS673KS_18.0810.2101.95_M2.13.24.9-ASUS_1.1.46_Phone-user.raw, it is non extractable so i cant get the boot.img of it!
I am attaching here the matching boot.img for your 2101.95 firmware. Your phone boots to bootloader as I can see on the video but cannot enter recovery as you have corrupted your boot partition. Can you pm me output of fastboot getvar all command? Please do not post it publicly as it may contain private data such as serial numbers. Good luck!
Are you sure that you have unlocked bootloader? I understand that you have relocked your bootloader and since then your phone never booted into working system. It is not possible to unlock bl with fastboot, only with asus app which requires working Android system

Sometimes I can be a bit slow to respond as I am on the university during day. Hopefully your issue seems to be possible to be solved just by flashing raw firmware and wiping data partition.
so i was rooted on 12 when update was done i did the usual and hit "later" went into magisk did thr ota to keep root once it booted i was stuck on logo forever, so i flashed original boot.img and booted up good with no root. so then i patched boot in magisk and flashed it and stuck on logo again unless i flash original boot.img. this never happened before. how did you keep root?

if youre still stuck, try to fastboot flash raw firmware and reroot and re update again. twrp only works for me with the magisk twrp installer but then you'll have to re flash patched image as it will remove root

hahaha, the owner of this thread had helps me a lot but no way and yesterday i have been lost my imei and isn and the rest.., that was because i tried using miflash.
I did it in the same way as you, just after OTA i installed magisk to inactive slot and rebooted. Maybe you have some incompatible magisk modules which caused bootloop on A13.

Oh ok ok makes sense. I had curl module installed. I loved android 13 but I'ma stay on 12 cause the modified read/write script only works on Android 12 and 11 and I need it to uninstall bloatware. Disabling them isn't good enough for me lol I gotta uninstall them completely. I can only do that if system is read/write and this script flashed through two works great to have read/write system. Thank you though

Actually you can debloat fully systemless, just create magisk module which replaces bloatware directories with empty folders. Or even better use this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/module-terminal-debloater-v17-3-2-debloat-systemlessly.3584163/
It is an automated way to make packages fully disappear without remounting system as rw. This module replaces them with empty folders, just like in the manual solution. The packages disappear from system completely and if you install any debloated app from play store or apk it will be installed as user (non-system) app.

Oh wow thank you man I'll give it a shot.
I found a gui-based app on github to systemlessly debloat, it is easier to use than this script I posted link to. Here is the link: https://github.com/sunilpaulmathew/De-Bloater
Does anyone have the full RAW firmware, flashed via fastboot? Thank you all
