No, the recommended is the local update

Nice work

Thanks for this. This is my first OnePlus device. I'm coming from a 5-year-old HTC One so updating pretty much meant wiping phone completely and reinstalling the ROM. I watched that video on the local update method. Good to know that even the full ROM installation doesn't wipe my data.
I do need some clarification on some things, though. I'm case 2 - stock ROM, unlocked BL & rooted. I have YouTube Vanced installed via Magisk as well as AdAway. I assume those would be considered modifications. In this guide, https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78026660&postcount=3, it says that rooted users need to first uninstall Magisk & restore images before installing the update. Then reinstall Magisk after updating. But here it doesn't mention the need to do this. What's the difference between these two processes? I've read lots of posts lately where people get into a soft brick situation after making some modifications. But I'm not seeing any explinations as to why this happens & I'd like to avoid that.
If I use the local update method from this thread, will Magisk survive the update and will I still be rooted? Or will I need to reinstall it & re-root?

If you flash a stock rom you will lose all the mods you already do, root and twrp included. If you want you can keep the root, i will attach a image guide.

Those are the instructions that I was referring to that had me a bit confused. Is there any benefit to doing the update that way compared to using the local update method and re-flashing Magisk, the way I did when I rooted the first time? Does one method have less potential for messing something up?

Hey guys,
Re: OnePlus6T, Oxygen OS 9.0.7
SOS: Can anyone give me a Guide for Dummies (lol) kinda tutorial on how to unroot, remove twrp, remove magisk, remove adb+fastboot and everything else that had been done in the process of rooting+modding. (root as per https://oneplus.gadgethacks.com/how-to/root-your-oneplus-6t-with-magisk-0190586/ ) (stereo mod as per https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/themes/magisk-stereo-speaker-mod-oneplus-6t-t3860041)
Actually, i am a total newbie/non-techie. But right after updating to os 9.0.7, i took fancy to having a stereo output through the earpiece, too. But in the end, there was no sound from the earpiece. Also, i found some other complications in other sections of the phone, although i don't know whether they were related/due to the stereo mod or the rooting process. And being a non-techie, I did not want to tinker with my phone any further. So, i decided to roll back and intuitively (1)first uninstalled stereo mod from magisk, (2)then uninstalled magisk from within the magisk itself, (3)then used the case #2 method, illustrated at https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/how-to-update-return-to-stock-oneplus-6-t3870795 to go back to the stock rom.
But i find that i have still not gone fully back to the factory state. When booting, i find the screen which informs me about the unlocked fastboot status, etc., which shows that twrp etc are still on my system. I would certainly want to go back to the factory condition. Will someone of you guide me step by step (as i am a non-techie) into removing this fastboot, twrp, etc. and bring me back to the factory condition and also (ii)in removing any fastboot/adb related things, if any, from my windows 10 PC? I shall be very grateful, as I am scared as well as left with no further technical skill to delve further into technical misadventure. It was my big mistake to undertake this exercise, without possessing any technical knowhow, i admit.
Anyway, someone please help.

First post is pretty clear. If you don't know what to do go with the fastboot method, the local update method (if that's what you did with full OTA) must have overwritten your recovery anyway. Boot in recovery to see which recovery you have.

Hello,
I used your fastboot guide yesterday to recover my phone but I accidently flashed a newer version (9.0.10) then I had (9.0.7).
Do I need to reflash my device? If so with what method?
Steps I did:
1. Boot TWRP and wiped all except Internal Storage
2. Reboot in to the bootl;oader
3. Unpacked 9.0.10-OnePlus6TOxygen_34_OTA_017_all_1812111237_f52c4612-FASTBOOT.zip
4. Used flash-all.bat
5. Phone rebooted and working
I did not used TWRP because it did not show the correct internal storage??? If antone knows how to fix that please let me know using latest blu_spark TWRP

[ROOT] Huawei P8 Lite ALE-L21, Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Hello there!
Following these steps, you'll be able to root your freshly marshmallowed P8 Lite.
The method was tested by several other users, with not just this model.
Requirements:
Huawei P8 Lite with the Chinese 6.0 Firmware
Unlocked bootloader
TWRP Recovery (Kirin Chipset)
Do you have everything above?
Good, here are the steps:
Go to THIS post, and download the attachment of it. (BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-SYSTEMMODE.zip)
Put this zip on your SD Card.
Boot into recovery and flash it.
That is all what you need to do.
Credits goes to: aufarxda for making the working zip, zirangua for trying and successfully rooting our device with this, and of course Chainfire for making rooting phones possible and easy.
Note:
If you tried with the official zips from Chainfire's thread, you should rooted your phone as well, but the root was lost after a few reboots.
At least it was like that for me.
The reason for this, Chainfire introduced a new way of rooting the phone, which called "systemless" root. It means, no modification is made to your /system partition, only to your boot image.
The install script of this zip checks for compatibility to do "systemless" root, and if it can do that, it'll do that.
However, with our device, something must be messed up with the boot image, because it seems to be resetting after few (or the first) reboots.
The downloaded zip was modified in a way, that the script only root your phone via the old method, modifying your /system partition.
The whole point to have a "systemless" root is not rerooting after every update, or system reset, however, it seems like it's not working well with our phone, so only the old method remains.
Twrp needed?

Yes, it's needed, and thanks for pointing this out.
How are flash in Recovery Mode? He gives 3 options: Reboot - Download new Version and Recovery - Shutdown!?
You have to flash TWRP by fastboot adb before.

I'm wonderin too. But this is not only difference in Chinese ROM. On B524 not feature like Touch Plus, Smart Care, Mobile data traffic counter, HiCloud and many others
So my opinion is Chinese firmware is much better that European. For that I change my ALE-L21 to ALE-UL00

So my opinion is Chinese firmware is much better that European. For that I change my ALE-L21 to ALE-UL00

so.. do you think it is better to flash back chinese beta v 311 (?) instead of 524? I looked for more stable bluetooth connection, and now i see differences...
I never use Bluetooth. But Chinese version of 6.0 is B535

Backing up stock rom before flashing another

Hi
I have been following the thread for the linage os in the View 10 forum.
Several people have reported it working on Honor 9 Lite which is treble compatible, before I try it out however I wanted to be sure I could go back to my current rom which is the official LLD-L31 for the UK honor 9 lite.
My current build number is LLD-L31 8.0.0.121(C432)
What options do I have to restore if I don't like the rom I flash?
So far I have managed to pull the System & ODM folders to my pc. all except the Vendor file due to a permissions error.
Is this enough? Can I simply push these folders back? and at which point do I attempt the push? When booted/in recovery etc?
Otherwise, Is there an official or unofficial Huawei/Honor restore tool? or maybe a full rom I can flash? HiSuite says it has this function, but my device isn't listed.
Sorry for all the questions, it's been a while since I flashed a rom & it was always via TWRP I understand treble roms are flashed via the stock recovery though

I have the same model and have also been following the thread. My understanding, and hopefully someone will correct if wrong, is that with project treble GSI you're only overwriting, via fastboot, system.img partition, therefore if you want to return to your original I suspect you can do the same thing again and fastboot original.img with a factory reset.
There is a utility called huawei firmware finder which allows you to look for firmware. I tried it but can only find the LLD-AL10 8.0.0.100(C675CUSTC675D4) which i think is for the 4/64GB veresion or may even be for the huawei P smart. Until honor make the firmware available not sure what other options exist.
BTW it would help if you report back with any success/failures if you try it. Also interested in what this version Lineage OS is missing/not working, I think the camera still has some issues last i checked the thread.

Thanks for the reply, I suspected that's how it worked, just flash back the original system image.
I think I'm gonna hang fire for the time being until I know I have the correct firmware to go back if needed, hopefully the camera will be sorted by then too.

When you unlocked your bootloader and before you overwrote your system partition you should have taken a backup of your stock system partition so you can restore it. Honor has not made the firmware available yet as far as I know.

Just in case I decide to try this, how do I get a flashable file?
I pulled the contents of system + odm via ADB but just ended up with 2.3GB of folders.
Can I convert this to a flashable .img file? Or should I have done this another way?

found description for how to do it for v10 on another site:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system of=/storage/emulated/0/system.img
this implies root is required so I guess you would:
1. unlock bootloader
2. load TWRP.
3. load root (su).
4. reboot back into TWRP and save system.img.
However, you make it work you need to make sure system.img is saved before any changes are made.

I was thinking about this today & came to the same conclusion.
The idea is to pull a clean unmodified system image, but the only way to do that is by using root privileges SU, then via TWRP - Does that not make it a modified image?
Maybe I'm thinking about it too much:silly:
What Root method & TWRP versions have Honor 9 Lite users had success with? I'm keen to give this a go

Not TWRP as that is the recovery partition (recovery.img) not the system partition (system. Img). Not sure about root though as i believe that does add stuff in one, or more, of the system sub folders, maybe someone else can confirm, but if you're using superuser then unzipping that should tell you what's being added and where. However, if you think about it, this has always been a bit of an issue with any android. You cannot take a nandroid backup without some kind of custom recovery so how can you ever take a snapshot of the stock rom. Specialised tools can do it as they can dump the entire rom but how can any android be dumped in full straight out of the box without first changing something.?
You could try this:
https://9to5google.com/2017/11/04/how-to-backup-restore-android-device-data-android-basics/
but it never really worked properly for me.

Help me get to Pixel Rom from current position please

Hi All
Wondering if one of you would be kind enough to do me a step by step guide to get me from my current position to having Pixel Rom installed?
Current position:
I had Chinese Rom and I unlocked the bootloader. I then followed one set of instructions to install global EU. Upon following the instructions I could not use Magisk at the time as bootlooped. So just flashed the EU Rom which I am currently using. So TWRP and EU Rom but no root. I am now on PFAEUXM. I received an OTA which installed and now I am on version Global 10.2.26. but now I do not have TRWP installed.
I do know a lot has since happened with TWRP since I did this about a month ago and they are more stable and encryption works etc.
Please could anyone do tell me how to get to Pixel Rom from here...Also I'm guessing I'm gonna lose all data or can I still install Magisk at this point and then install TB to save data?
Any help is greatly appreciated...many thanks
Mick

Follow the instructions in this post as I made a flashable vendor of global v10.2.9.0 to boot the latest PE : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79693496&postcount=107
I was running the same 10.2.24(10.2.26 would not harm a thing) and twrp 3.3.1-30.
You can flash that twrp if not already on it. Backup all data because you'll loose all. You could install magisk 19.3 and TB before flashing PE to backup - up to you.
Procedure : follow instructions in my post.
Afaik this should work for all.
Let me know if you succeed.
If anything might go wrong or being stuck in fastboot without twrp unable to boot, have the fastboot rom ready to flash with miflash (mind to check the ''clean all'' before flash ) : https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/ or https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/cepheus/ (I'm using the fastboot version v10.2.24 in case of)
That's awesome thank you!
Just to clarify one point..You say back up all data? Do you mean whilst i am in recovery?
Equally if I install TWRP again...say 3.3.1-30 is there any bugs still in the sense that unless you reboot after flashing recovery (or something similar like that) you will lose recovery...or do I just go ahead and install Magisk via flashing? If so do I just reboot afterwards to system or to recovery again?
Many thanks again for taking the time to respond

Camera stuck - reverting to MIUI

Currently I am on Evolution X latest build and today my camera was opened but it won't close.
Now since my phone is under warranty I want to claim it.
How do I revert back to MIUI, unroot the device and remove TWRP. Please help me.
Regards
flash fastboot rom and u will revert back to stock miui unrooted.
^^ Do I need to download MIUI package or simply that command alone will work?
If yes please guide to resources I have Indian variant of K20 Pro.

"Flash fastboot rom" was a sentence/direction/hint what you have to do, not a (fastboot) command
I think there is a detailed guide in the Guides section. Otherwise, you need to google about MiFlash, install to the PC, read how to use, find on xiaomifirmwareupdater an appropriate tgz/fastboot rom for your device.
I'm not on Pro, not on Indian, cannot guide you more than as above, where to start googling/reading/learning
^^ Thanks for the clarification.
I downloaded latest rom from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/raphaelin/ I tried both recovery and fastboot version.
I flashed the rom using twrp (is that right?) but nothing happens and devices reboots itsefl into recovery. What am I doing wrong?
I am also unable to locate the guide to revert back. Plus I am on Linux so that windows too might now work.
Edit - The guides mention flashing magisk. But I don't want to root as I have to claim warranty. What do I do now?
Edit 2 - I flashed magisk root but still not able to boot. It reverts back to recovery.

how to root , flash custom recovery and custom ROM on galaxy S10 5G (G977N)

Hello folks !
I just bought a galaxy S10 5G G977N and I found it difficult to work my way through all the changes made in rooting/custom roming smartphones (I had a galaxy S7 before that, it was pretty easy).
What I read for now :
How to root with magisk : https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-system-as-root
How to install TWRP : https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys105G.html
What I learned :
Rooting device is far more complicated than it was before. If I do so, I won't be able to update stock rom OTA, I'll have to reflash a patched recovery (AP file) for every update. This bothers me because its not convenient, and because messing with odin is way riskier than flashing zip from custom recovery and may brick my phone, so the less I use it, the better I think.
Plus,booting the phone will be a pain in the ass, having to do the right key combination
Installing TWRP will not change that.
What I'm wondering :
I'm a bit confused on how I will be able to update stock ROM (The way I understand it, I'll have to reinstall TWRP after each update)
And I'm even more confused about how all of this will work with custom ROMs.
Let's say I root my phone and install TWRP. If I want a custom ROM and keep it rooted, how will it work ? I'll have to unzip the ROM, patch the AP file with magisk, rezip it, flash it with twrp and voilà ? And I'll have the same key combination issue where I'll have to boot a certain way to access the rooted ROM, and if I don't, I'll boot on an unrooted ROM ?
Thank you a lot for helping. I'm really used to rooted and unbloated ROM (God I've forgotten how bloated stock ROMs are !) but the complexity of the operation stops me for now. I don't want to brick my phone and I'm not sure I'll have the courage to do all of this every 3 month for each update.
Hello!
This thread is a bit old. But since I had to dig the forum to find what I was looking for (and update my knowledge), maybe my answer will be useful for somebody else.

I agree! Thankfully, somebody smarter than me took care of that. You can thank ianmacd for his multidisabler (GitHub project's page; xda thread).
One of its functionality is to disable "Stock recovery auto-restoration".
If you want to see a guide for how to use it (for S10 5G Snapdragon only, but same principle apply for the others), afaneh92 wrote one! Same thing by corsicanu, but with official links to download TWRP (and his repository for the other stuff), and it works with other versions of the S10 too. corsicanu got his tools here if needed.
Be careful, you must format /data after disabling encryption with multidisabler. Back up your data first!
I won't be able to update stock rom OTA
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No OTA if you root.
You can still upgrade the stock kernel/firmware to a newer Android version manually. Afterwards, flash TWRP, then flash multidisabler again, then run multidisabler in terminal. And, all good!
(Reflashing stock firmware disables "multidisabler")
Check for firmware updates on Samsung's changelog page.
Replace your S10 model number and CSC code in the link below:
doc.samsungmobile.com/YourModelNumber/YourCscCode/doc.html
To know which CSC you have:
Go to Settings > About phone > Software information > Service provider software version
The last line should show the current CSC (three characters), e.g. mine is KTC for Korean KTC devices.
doc.samsungmobile.com/sm-g977b/ftm/doc.html
corsicanu makes it easier for us, here is his github page for the S10.
I'm a bit confused on how I will be able to update stock ROM (The way I understand it, I'll have to reinstall TWRP after each update)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To flash the ROM the first time:
Flash the ROM with TWRP (adb sideload), Format data/factory reset. Formating everything will reenable encryption if you had multidisabler installed first. I think. So I guess flash it afterwards, and format data again?
For example, you can follow Lineage OS's guide. But they don't take care of vbmeta, encryption, and other issues. I'm not sure why.
To update the ROM, it's easier: no need to reinstall multidisabler after a dirty flash. (Lineage guide to update their ROM)
I'm dropping some links you might need:
To download the last version of Odin (odin3-v3-14-1_3b_patched-zip as of date): realbbb's XDA thread.
All the versions of TWRP for the beyondx (G977B and N, maybe other letters too )
Ok. That's all for now. Good luck!
