Hi guys, i need some help pleeease!
I was with the November security patch on my cell phone, I unlock the bootloader and went to use the friend tool (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/mi-a2-toolkit-unlock-bootloader-root-t3834585) to activate the camera2api.
But it gave problem and the cell phone did not turn on, it was locked in the screen of android one.
So I downloaded the patched_boot.img from the version I was in and put it via fastboot. did not work.
Now, my phone is in this situation: I tried to use MiFlash (three versison: 2018528, 2017720 and 20151028) and they fail in the middle of the process, accusing "FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))".
And: when I try to connect the cell phone normally, it shows the unlocked bootloader warning and goes straight to the fastboot, even without my request. This is strange. Perhaps because the system is damaged by the miflash unfinished
Obs: bootloader are unlocked and i can access twrp
If anyone can help me I will be very grateful and happy
What exactly did the "tool" do? I mean if you don't know that, pretty difficult to diagnose what's wrong...

Hi.
The tool (her topic link is up there) promised to activate camera2api without root my device (allowing OTAs in the future).
I believe she did a "temporary root" with a "temporary" boot.img just to activate the camera2api, and when it rebooted, it would return to normal boot.img without root. I do not know if I could explain it well.
The current issue is that it seems that the system is currently "destroyed or corrupted". Can not I reinstall the entire system through TWRP? Or something like this
Like I said, you don't know what it actually did. What it promised is one thing, what it did... another
That's the problem with 'tools'.
Have you tried doing a factory reset? Hold Vol up and power until it gets to Recovery (hopefully), if you do a quick press of vol up, that gets past the 'no command'. Then use vol up and down for selection and press power when on 'factory reset'.
It might work

You are right, friend.. this is the problems with tools! I never use tools with my A1 and past phones.. just this time :crying:
I tried the factory reset now. And it did not work, unfortunately. On the first attempt (I was in fastboot mode) he showed a white circle with the writing "ERASING" and then went back to the screen of Android One, and then I tried again Vol Up + Power and he appeared "No command" , and after I rebooted and tried again, nothing appears, it just restarts to the static screen of "Android One"
Another ideas?

The only other thing I can think of would be to change the current slot. If that works you would be booted into the prior version of the OS vs the latest update you did.
In fastboot, do fastboot getvar current-slot
Depending on what that slot is, change it to the other one (can only be a or b)
thus fastboot set_active a (or b, whichever is not the current one)
then fastboot reboot - and hope it boots.

Well... fastboot don't recognize this command, he show the list of avaible commands
And i don't know why, but for now i can't boot in twrp.img
i'm going crazy :crying::crying::crying:

That's probably because you have an old version of fastboot installed. Upgrade to the newest version, which should recognize dual slots.
dual slots are quite new.

Fastboot updated now! I changed the slot from B to A.
But doesn't work, unfortunately. After reboot, the phone can't boot and appears the screen asking between Try Boot Again or Factory Reset. I tried Factory Reset, but don't work =( return to the same screen.
What seems very strange to me, is the Miflash doesn't work. With my Mi A1 miflash ever save me

I've never used miflash, so no help there.
I'd try flashing the correct boot.img (for your software version). You can find the various boot images in the following link (don't forget to thank user ckpv5 for uploading these).
https://sourceforge.net/projects/others/files/Xiaomi_MiA2/
you would do fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
I'd suggest using b slot, as that was originally active. After flashing, set it back to active, try to reboot... then cross your fingers

Doesn't work man.. I went to twrp and checking there in the "WIPES session", I saw that the SYSTEM partition is 0kb used and 0kb free. Appears to be entirely empty
Do not have a way to install the whole system via twrp?

No, I don't. But I can tell you, twrp is a recovery app. It shouldn't be in the boot slot. And, with dual slot configurations, there is no recovery partition. The other slot is now used to do a recovery.
In other words, the way we *used* to use twrp doesn't work on dual slot phones. I think that's a big part of the confusion people are having. While the boot images do have a small recovery part to them, it's not a separate partition.
If you're flashing boot.img, and setting that slot active, I've no idea how you're getting into twrp.
Since now your fastboot is working why don't you use miflash to flash official stock ROM
1. You need unlocked bootloader which you already have.
2. Run these command to unlock critical partition
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
3 . Download the official fastboot V9.6.14.0 ROM from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/ota-v9-6-5-0-odimife-t3823445
Or here
http://en.miui.com/getrom.php?r=353&m=yes&app=false
4. Install with miflash (you already know the how-to)
5. Once up & running, do OTA to latest
Later .. redo what you want to do like enable camera api2 with proper guide.
E.g: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/how-to-enable-cam2api-simply-ota-t3858861

Hello.
I've tried using Miflash several times (3 different versions), but it never ends, it end up with an error every time that he will copy the file system.img to the mobile phone (I analyzed the log).
The miflash divides the file system.img into 5 or 6 smaller parts to be able to transfer to the mobile phone, and in some of these parts gives error, everytime :crying:

I can access twrp when I flash ''fastboot boot twrp.img" in powershell, so until the next reboot I have access to twrp

When I read your post here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78085858&postcount=188
"flashing is not allowed for critical partitions" usually due to critical partitions not unlocked. So .. if you already run "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" and you still have error using miflash .. nothing much I can offer to help. Hopefully you'll be able to fix it.

Hmm thanks for the answer!
Even when the operation fails after transfer a couple of archives before the system.img??? (on the Miflash)
If my phone was locked, Miflash could transfer these couple of archives before the operation fails?? Or if bootloader is locked, zero files can be passed by Miflash, and the error is apresented at the beginning of the operation?
Have you successfully unlocked critical partitions?
If yes, try to run flash_all.bat from the official stock image you downloaded. No need to use MiFlash.

well... When I just run flash_all.bat from the stock image folder, the .bat file will recognize that I am running it for the connected mobile?
how exactly should I run flash_all.bat? just double clicking it in stock image folder? or should I copy the .bat to /adb folder and open power shell prompt in adb folder and execute the .bat from there? sorry for my ignorance
Can you show me, please?

Before someone can explain that, why don't you answer the question asked .. in fact at least 3 people was asking/telling ...
"Have you successfully unlocked critical partitions?"
Without the proper answer from you, not easy to help.
Crossposting from the Lineage 15 thread, as it may be a more general problem...
I installed lineage 15 a couple days ago.
I followed the OP, flashed the partition firmware first, then the ROM, TWRP, GAPPS, rebooted, flashed Magisk. Everything was working fine.
I took the 0210 nightly OTA. Google Play Services and all Google apps stopped working.
I figured I'd start fresh through fastboot, but now any command that would actually help (flash, boot, etc) returns "failed: unknown command". Can't boot into TWRP.
"fastboot devices" returns the device ID fine, fastboot reboot works.
Tried a factory reset based off another post I found, still in the same boat.
Any ideas?

What happened is that you messed up the installation order.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78037053&postcount=685
You only use the zip and rom before the restart and then Gapps and Magisk after.
If nothing else works, then I'd suggest flash stock and start from step one.
The factory reset only, normally, only clears the data partition.
Your bootloader and system partitions are bad as TWRP is written to the bootloader and Gapps installs to the system.
Don't quote me on the bad bootloader though; worst case, you'll want a blankflash and flash stock before starting over again.

I may have alleviated worst case scenario, read the bottom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78046198&postcount=692

I definitely got the installation order correct for the fresh install. I used the built-in updater in lineage to update the OS, so it's entirely possible that there's a slot issue related to that...
The firmware link at the bottom of your post was the very first thing I did.
A blankflash file I found that I think should be recent enough for my device just shows <waiting for device>. I ran ADB and it shows the device as connected, so I don't think it's a driver issue. I know nada about blankflash, though.
Researching now. Thanks for the help.

I have a whole package I created with links to different XDA threads on this device, but I don't have it with me at the moment.
You will definitely need to know what variant you're using.
I found one for XT1900-1 and one for XT1900-7.
There is a phone button combo you'll need to use and good timing.

Here is my 'data dump' from my text file on what to do in the worst case scenario; I grabbed and linked what I could together below.
Don't take the words as direct advice from me as I never did this myself before.

MAY NEED TO ENTER PC INTO TEST MODE:
Make your PC into Test Mode.
Then run “CMD” or “Windows Terminal” as administrator and type:
bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
(Restart computer)
***When you no longer need it.***
###To deactivate it we will use the following command.###
Bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
Once the two commands have been executed, we must restart our computer so that the changes take effect and this mode is deactivated correctly.
If process completed successful then your mobile will restart into bootloader screen and your hard brick problem has been resolved. after that you can reboot into recovery by pressing power and volume down button again if required. Once you are in recovery mode then you can flash correct stock ROM into your mobile.
use manual and brick help to load system partition

Massive, massive thanks, man!
Got me rolling back to being able to flash a stock rom, which is good enough for me on this device!
I'm still guessing that slots jacked something up, but I'm not going to try to replicate the problem at this point, LOL!
One last note.
I noticed that flashing stock doesn't make the device genuine.
It appears that a trick I used to use on my old device works here; rooting with Magisk will mark the phone as certified.
To make sure this is the case, install the manager and if there is one RED and one GREEN; you're good to go on the install.
[EDIT]
Also, you can remove the unlocked bootloader warning with a patched image; I don't know if these two things will conflict though.
[EDIT 2]
I also don't know if either will conflict with OTA updates, assuming they work after you fixed your phone.
You can let me know below if you can provide any useful data.
If you have any other questions, make another post/thread. @Horror_Business
Hello there.
Just like title says - I've got my hands on new Redmi 9 (lancelot) nfc 4/64 version. I've unlocked it from Mi stuff successfully yesterday and wanted to install there twrp, magisk and titanium backup to clean a bit and maybe to have foundations for further change of rom.
However, my phone gaves answers, that I do not understand correctly.
Firstly - after first instalation of twrp via adb it booted into this. However, after choosing option to boot to system from it, power off via ui and then another try to enter recovery...it gave me stock miui recovery again. When I've tried the same steps for second time, phone finished, but after restart it entered bootloop. I've followed steps from this guide - https://miui.blog/redmi-9/download-install-twrp-and-root-redmi-9-codename-lancelot/
After some time I've managed to make low-level rom instalation again (12.0.4 official lancelot rom, dated 31st of Mar, 21) to at least being able to communicate with it (done with usage of miflash 2018 version and rom in *.tgz file). This time, I've used help from this page - https://www.getdroidtips.com/guide-flash-miui-rom-xiaomi-devices/ - had some troubles with mediatek based phones before in my life, so it wasn't from scratch, but some time to understand it were needed.
Phone is working again, but this rom is based on Android 10 (which I would like to keep, if it won't cause too much trouble). And I think because of that fastboot mode changed now into fastbootD mode, where old commands from adb does not recognize the device, thus no flashing recovery action etc can be taken.
Is there a workaround here? I've stumbled across some articles about installing clean Generic System Image with Android 10 on this phone (since it has been released with android greater, than number 8), but again - this requires to have custom recovery, prefeably twrp. I cannot do anything about it, because I got back to stock recovery (which now at least works, yesterday phone was so twisted at one point, that he cannot even load this recovery, but somehow managed to open system and fastboot modes normally (!!!)).
Is there a way to work it out? Older miui version, older android version, then twrp, then update via twrp? Or an alternative method, since google changed something in partitions again (not sure, if I get it right, but it might be it)? I would actually like to stay somewhere around miui (at least let it be official with ota support without too much issues), but without twrp I cannot do anything. I also do know, that there aren't any official twrp/pbrp yet (just betas). Could it also be the issue with troubles with installing it and staying it on the phone?

After to flash TWRP you have to flash the vbmeta.img and then boot to TWRP not through commands but manually with hardware buttons, don't allow device to boot to system before to boot to custom recovery otherwise this will be overwritten again.
I've done that with this vbmeta, one and only difference might be that I was trying to get into twrp by commands (however, it did not work XD). Overwritten isn't an issue in my opinion, since I do have booted to recovery after installing it yesterday and then from it choose option "reboot to system". After poweroff from system and then trying to get into recovery, then stock showed.
I'm currently trying this - https://c.mi.com/oc/thread-3312019-1-0.html
After putting this command to cmd - bcdedit /set testsigning on lancelot shows somewhere, but I cannot install it (most likely due to this issue about encrypted drivers). I'll try to overcome it now.
Yea, well, I've tried this method from link listed above, phone still enters fastbootd mode, still is not-visible from cmd started from google platform tools folder (which a subfolder to working adb). Not sure what to do now.

No, this is not the method to boot to recovery from what I pointed out, you don't have to firstly power off device but from fastboot commands you can type either fastboot or fastbootd reboot and inmediately press the volume up till the TWRP logo appears, the fastboot/d command will act same as it be the power button.
The thread explains how to install unsigned drivers in Windows, not to set it on your Redmi but is for your PC. If you succesfully get the drivers installed then you have to reboot your PC entering again in safe mode (not normal mode) and from there the commands through fastbootd are generally the same than those for fastboot.

Just to be sure you are doing fine and not missing something the adb commands work while device is on and fastboot/d commands work only in fastboot mode.
Can you attach some SS to see what you are typing and the error that brings the cmd?
Hm, you say, that I can type fastbootd into cmd and this will be recognised? It seems that it cannot be recognised in this case, when I'm trying to type fastbootd powershell says "unknown command".
Typing fastboot /d devices results in "waiting for device", despite phone being in fastbootd all the time.
I'll attach ss tomorrow - it is time to sleep for me now, gotta wake up early. Then we will also know something else, when it comes to behavior after restart pc (once again, I've done it all in one sit, it might be an issue here).
PS. if you want english errors, I'll have to use powershell - cmd is in my native language (polish). Found out, that it doesn't really matter, which program you use, powershell simply can do more, while cmd dates back 30 years or so.
Anyway - phone is still booting to miui 12 and android 10 normally, I do not set there google acc or lock yet, so don't know if there's any issue with it (most likely no).
I've also stumbled across some dude from indonesia, who had the same phone, miui 12.0.1 with android 10 and he installed successfully twrp, then magisk, but he also put some small img - misc misc.img. Could it be the issue?
I'm giving link to this material on YT -
FROM WHAT I SEE IN THE THUMBNAIL, this version of twrp is even the same (code number and english translated from chinese), that once worked here (md5 of the file might be different, though).
There's also an option to reinstall again whole adb, platform tools, drivers from official miunlock app etc, but since I do not had ANY android-related problems on this pc with previous phones, I'm not sure if this is worth our time.
And I think that if I would misspell something in cmd program would give me error instantly, instead of behaving like it was nothing - i've made tons of errors before and cmd/powershell always informed me about it in first line of their texts.

Yes, fastboot works normally while in cmd, this is intended for that, no problem to enter firstly toi Power Shell but you can switch to cmd from PS just typing cmd and all the commands from here will be for cmd, doesn´t matter at all how many old is, cmd can work inside PS keeping the same aspect.

You don't need to reinstall nothing, just from the downloaded SDK platform do all that you want to avoid misspelling path and folder directories, I mean place the files you need to use in the same directory and open terminal prompt (PS) in the same folder where adb/fastboot binaries are, pressing right mouse button and shift at same time.
I feel you are missing something simply here, not so hard to do.
The misc.img partition that you mentioned is just to restore something that went wrong in the process.
But if you are happy with this Miui ROM then great. No hurry to answer that, give your time to rest.
I also feel, that there is something simply to overcome, Only the fastbootd is new Stuff to me. However, any time I was doing something with Snap, i was long after finish by the current time (almost a month with It and 3rd day with fastbootd issue).
I don't get it. Now when I've tried to enter fastboot mode...phone entered it (fastboot, not fastbootD). Then I've installed pitch black recovery and sucessfully booted into it by restarting phone and then pressing vol up. Now I'm trying with magisk and another entry to pbrp.
Second try gave me stock recovery again. What is wrong with it XD?
something is wrong. Installing twrp resulting in nothing (stock recovery is still there), installing pitch black resulting in successfully boot into new recovery. However, this recovery does not see any zip (magisk zip, to be exact, that I've put there before it to root phone). After boot into system and then power it off to boot into recovery...phone boots into stock recovery. Should I downgrade system to miui 11 to be able to get over it? Or should I wait until miui 12.5 enters redmi 9?
My tries of installing it has been done by using cmd with admin rights, if it does make any difference.

I think you are not following the right direction, if you want consider what I pointed out; you don't have to power off device prior to boot to recovery for first time but you have to type from fastboot (no matter fastbootd) and inmediately from there boot to the custom recovery, when you succesfully booted to custom recovery then flash the recovery zip if there is one (PBR and OFR have one) and if not a zip then flash the image again to the recovery partition, also check if there is some installer apart from the image that can fix it in the ramdisk partition, at this point your issue is solved, next step is to reboot device to system normally, if you don't have any issue on that then OK but if you can´t there some steps more that you should do, but let this for last.
Ok, let's group it.
I do not think that particular matter of how do I restart phone matters here (at least, I do not believe it, that it does anything).
Option to restart to recovery from adb still not working.
Trying to find magisk.zip in main directory of internal storage still fails under pitch black recovery project.
From new stuff - I now got an error message, while opening pbrp, most likely with the issues about system being read-only (not sure though, since I do not remember it now, might look into it once more). I have the options to mount partitions, available from main menu, but since I do not used it at all before, I do not know, how to deal with it.
Also - my system boots normally, it must have overwritten recovery (or at least header of it) sometime during boot, since custom recovery is unavailable to access after first full reboot.
I'll try now to install newer version of twrp from yt that I've posted days back. I would also try with orange fox (however, i cannot find img for it, just source code, don't get it).
Is there someone, who can and will to help me?
Situation looks this - on this 12.0.4 MIUI with android 10 I'm unable to install ANY recovery (either phone do not restart to recovery after proper command from cmd or it boots into it, but after visiting system and then to recovery again it shows stock (even without any operations or updates from ota).
I cannot force to work either twrp 3.4.2b, twrp 3.5.2, pitch black recovery 3.0.0 beta.
After trying to install magisk 21.4 zip from twrp 3.4.2b phone entered bootloop, because f**k you, user, I cannot even get it to fastboot mode now (btw, fastboot now works, fastbootD is luckily a long-gone crap).
All cmd's have been run with admin rights. There are NO SUCH THING, as misspelling (cmd and adb would not execute command ,if it is misspelled, either command or filename). I've installed drivers once again and used cmd from dedicated folder with adb fastboot portable version (runned as admin, of course).
Now I'm downloading older version of rom for fastboot (miui 11.0.9) with android 10. Something has to finally work on this piece of junk.
Writting each time is success (cmd says "OKAY" nad displays time, it took to do so), downloading recovery image to start from it also works, there aren't any errors in cmd, yet phone still isn't working.
Where's the issue with it? Apart from being mediatek, which seems to somehow enormously hardened any flashing? I did not encounter anything like this with qualcomm, yet mediatek still manages to pisses me off with their really weird implementations and working (???) of their stuff.
another update from battlefield. Managed to finally get mediatek verify bypass in smart phone flashing tool, however it ended with forcing me to format anything in the phone (if not, program would not let me install anything).
Second problem is forcing me to disable verify, yet command fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img put in fastboot mode (yes, it works now) does not work, because adb says, that "--disable-verity" is not a recognised command.
SPFT cannot properly download images from phone and welcomes me with error about download exception, happening either in recovery part or in boot part. SInce I do have access to fastboot now, I can overcome it (I think).
Old miflash tool to install roms via fastboot says it cannot flash rom in locked stage (I might have lost unlocked status, but I'm not sure about it). Do you know ways to overcome it?
It is me again (inb4 use edit). Had to unlock phone again by using miphone unlocker (it went ok). Still cannot flash using SPFT, miflash started showing idiotic errors like "no file in directory" or "cannot access to directory" (it could before, I did not changed name of it). Will continue reporting of progress (or the so-called "progress").
Hi,
I want to share how I recovered my Zenfone 8 from some really bad flashing, ending up with nothing more than fastboot access.
It is really simple:
Get ADB/Fastboot drivers, for example from here:
https://github.com/fawazahmed0/Latest-adb-fastboot-installer-for-windows
Downoad and extract this RAW image from ASUS:
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...06D-ASUS-99.1004.0404.82-1.1.31-9999-user.zip
Turn off your phone
Reboot to fastboot mode by pressing and holding the Volume Up and Power keys simultaneously
Connect your phone to the PC
Run the flashall_AFT.cmd from the extracted archive
When finished, reboot if not already done automatically
It could happen, that the system still won't start now, but don't worry, just wait it out.
After several reboots it will offer to do a factory reset. Do it and the system will boot properly afterwards.
Regards,
Hyper
Do you believe this could help with the ram dump issue?
There is a newer raw out:

I have no idea, but I think it can't get worse by trying it.
Flashing the firmware (so called "RAW"-firmware) that allows one to turn back to A11 on the A12 beta page, should get back every device back to a working condition if the problem isn't hardware or extremely messed up in the few partitions that the raw doesn't flash.
I tried using this method to get back to stock from OmniROM, but after several reboots, the phone is stuck in fastboot mode. I tried booting normally and recovery mode, and it immediately goes back to fastboot mode. Any ideas?
/Edit: Got it to boot by flashing Lineage recovery, rebooting into it, and doing a factory reset from there.

Thank you very much! This safed my phone! I stupidly flashed the boot image from a different build and wasn't able to boot. Only your flash.cmd worked! I hat to comment out the hardwareid check though, because mine was 0 somehow.
I guess I have terrible luck. My zf8 isnt getting detected on fastboot but is visible on ADB. Have a stupid issue with the playstore where it is throwing up the authentication error and isnt logging into anything. I thought ill flash the stock rom back but no joy. driver not found on device manager.

This could also be just an issue with the fastboot drivers. Try reinstalling them, also clearing up orphaned devices in device manager could help.

This is a known issue with Windows 10 computers. They have some sort of signature check where even if you install the correct drivers, they don't really get "installed" because of this check. There is a workaround for this though, I'm not sure how.
However, if you have a Win 7, Vista / 8 PC, adb and fastboot will both work flawlessly with no hassles (experienced personally).

Hi there,
Installed LineageOS 18.1 yesterday because my phone was having awkward moments, I want to go back to RAW stock, but I can't finalize the install.
I followed OP's instructions, but I never could find the flashall_AFT.cmd from the extracted archive.
Anyway, i managed to use LineageOS Recovery, but it requires signature at 47% , and when I press Yes, it says :
E:error: 21
Installing update...
E: Package is for product ASUS_I006D but expected sake.
Installation version
Installation tried : UL-I006D-ASUS-31.1004.0404.81-1.1.25-2111-user.zip.
When I tried WW-ZS590KS-30.11.51.115-MR0-user_20210826-release.zip, it required signature after 0.2 seconds, with following message :
E:footer is wrong

E:error: 21

E:Open failed: /metadata/ota: No such file or directory
E:Couldn't mount Metadata.
E:Failed to find update binary META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary.
I resetted before launching above operations, everytime.
What can I do to go back to Asus RAW Rom ?
Forward thanks and best regards.
EDIT : OK, found it, I just had to extract the .zip file. I thought I had to flash it like any image.
My bad.

Thank you so much! You saved my phone! The only thing is that I couldn't find the flashall_AFT.cmd file in the new image, I had to use the WW-ZS590KS-30.11.51.115-MR0-user_20210826-release.zip, and it worked perfectly. After I flashed the boot.img trying to get root on android 12 several times, my phone was in a ram dump state.

Thanks! This helped me after I got into a ramdump situation. I flashed a rom and a boot image through the bootloader instead of fastboot and got things corrupted.
On my Asus Zenfone 8, I upgraded from Lineage OS 18.1 to 19.1.
When I wanted to flash gapps and did a reboot into recovery, since then the device no longer works.
I can't get into recovery and I can't get into fastboot mode.
When I turn off the device and turn it on again, the following appears on the screen.
Waiting for flashing full ramdump...
PLS help me
Welp, first day of owning the OnePlus Ace and I've already bricked it lmao. Need some help in trying to unbrick it.
So last night I successfully rooted my device using magisk, but after experimenting I just decided to revert back to being unrooted, since I realised I didn't actually need many of the functions root allows. Derooted using Magisk, checked that it was unrooted, then went into fastboot mode to re-lock the bootloader. Did so, restarted and I was presented with the dreaded "The current image (boot/recovery) have been destroyed" error screen and endless bootlooping. I cannot access fastboot mode or recovery mode with button combinations, tried holding Vol + and power, Vol - and power but no dice. I believe I ended up bricking because I forgot to flash the stock vbmeta.img before locking the bootloader.
I've made some progress in getting to the MediaTek Emergency Download Mode (which I believe is also either called BROM or Preloader) in order to flash a stock rom. I found out that holding down both Vol + and Vol - at boot will enable this emergency download mode for a few seconds, before going to the destroyed boot/recovery error screen. The issue is, while I've managed to get the phone detected by my computer in this state in COM5 as a 'MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM_V1632 (Android), none of the programs said to flash a stock rom will detect it. I've tried mtk_client, mtk bypass tool, SP Flash, even regular fastboot and adb tools, but none of them will detect the device, even though Windows does.
The only smart thing I did was refraining from transferring all of my files from my old phone to this one, so luckily I've got a phone to fall back on. Basically, until I find a fix, the Ace will have to stay in it's box makes me wish I never messed with root in the first place lmao. And because I imported the phone there's no warranty and no service centres for OnePlus in my country that can help.
Anyone have any ideas for how I can get the phone detected in these applications? Is it an issue of the SoC not being supported yet by these programs because it's relatively new? Are there any alternate ways to get to the fastboot menu? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Update: If someone would be able to extract a scatter file from their own OnePlus Ace too, I think that may help me
Sorry that you've ran into this, but thanks for confirming bootloader can be unlocked, and root is possible.
Getting the 10R over the Realme GT 2 (sad situation of bootloader unlock not possible). Hope you get an extract soon
Made some progress!
Got my hands on the Ace's firmware files, which included the scatter file. Redownloaded the newest 6.2 version of SP Flash Tool and loaded the scatter and auth files successfully. Clicked download, connected USB to phone while holding Vol + and Vol - and finally! Sp Flash Tool connected to the phone! However, now I've run into another problem: SP Flash Tool will show a red progress bar at the bottom saying 'Download DA', it will reach 100% quickly then throw me a very vague error simply saying 'error_msg'. And that's it. Tried unchecking different boxes, reinstalled drivers but it will always throw back this error.
Any ideas to figure out what the error is and fix it would be amazing
hello, im here to show support. My ace also bricked because i want to change from color os to oxygen. I used fastboot enhanced, might have missed a step and bricked. Mine also import, but the shop i bought offers 1 year warranty. Shop says have to wait for msm download tools to reflash or i have to pay $60 to send back to China because my own fault. Man, it is going to be a long wait for msm tools. haha

maybe this is because of the new chip and there is no support for bypassing it.I thought the method would work.also a tip-edit the scatter file, namely partition_name: super or system,changing the value is_download: false to is_download: true.hopefully help
And thank you for sharing the files
I too am stuck with Brick.
Is there a Bypass for the Demesity 8100 being developed?
This device is mostly Oppo, but there is no Oppo flash Tool?
There is very little information available.

Unfortunately not yet, the most promising option will be to wait for an MTK Auth Bypass utility to be developed for the Dimensity 8100 chipset. There might be active development on this front, so hopefully it will come soon.
The other option would be to find someone to do a remote flash, someone who has official Oppo/OnePlus flashing software and an account to use it. I believe I've found the official firmware to flash the phone in this state, however you need credentials to log in to it and access it. I think it will also specifically have to be Chinese credentials, as India login details may not allow you to flash a OnePlus Ace model. I tried to get someone over at (<Moderator Edit>: unallowed site name removed) to do a remote flash, and he couldn't because he had India credentials, but not Chinese credentials

Oh. I had OnePlus 7 previously, there were few ways to flash stock firmware. The common one was MSM Tool, other one was Fastboot enhance.
But few times I flashed stock firmware manually like payload dump payload.bin and flash partitions manually from fastboot. Maybe this could work.

I seem to have made fastboot inaccessible on my device, so I've been unable to use Fastboot enhance or utilise any ways to flash using fastboot

Hello. after unlocking the bootloader I have the message "Orange State. OS Not Being Verified Or Custom OS. Dismiss After 5 Seconds." but the system booted up. After uploading boot.img, the phone got stuck in bootloop. Unfortunately, the guide above did not help.

Yes. I can flash files in cmd and FastbootEnhance but in practice it looks like they were not saved.

So you are not able to boot right?
If not, you can try flashing the partitions manually from fastboot. (If you are willing to try I can provide the steps. This works for other OnePlus devices.)
