Hey guys.
I'm trying to update my F1 but since it's rooted, OTA is not happening (it caused my phone to TWRP bootloop) and other's have reported that they had a better working version flashing the update via the SP Flash Tool. So last time I tried using the Flash Tool was a mess getting it to work (because drives and all) so I was hoping someone might have an image of this update that I could flash via TWRP or is there's a way to convert the extracted RAR folder. Thanks for any help.

The OTA update may be used in Twrp, with some edits, depending on what all has been changed on phone .
I do not have time this weekend to look at it. But can in few days
***UPDATE***
This can update from version 20190316 only
If you open the update.zip you have from the OTA and replace the 'updater-script' with the one attached here. It should perform the update. Remove the ".txt" from the file name first
I say should , because if you have done significant modifications then that may effect its effectiveness.
@mantarkus
I put together an OTA style zip, that has the same images as sp flash install, with only exception being the preloader. The preloader from stock OTA update is different format to the preloader used in flash tool. ( Assume it has to do with the way it gets intalled ) So I have the preloader from OTA in the zip.
I have not uploaded the zip, or tested it out. Before i use the data to upload it. Let me know if you are interested.

Hey, thanks a lot. Yes, I am interested. Is this flashable via TWRP?

It should be. Have not tested it. So busy lately.
Best option is to use the flash tool, but after I test this, I will uploaded it. But who knows , rumor us, there had been updated every 2 months so far. Maybe new update is out soon anyway
Anyone know if this is working on the normal F1 (Non-play) version? With the minimal differences including same SoC shouldnt it work? Anyone tested?

Will this work fine? I know it's a test version. As long as flashing works properly, decryption and mtp works I guess that's all I need?
Otherwise what would you say is the best available twrp version right now? ?

Hi all, I have a TS 1/8/2100, firmware 20140513.
TWRP and Bluetooth tether ROM are available for firmware 20140328 only. Past conversations make me think there won't be any update soon.
A solution would be to install previous firmware, then TWRP, then update firmware. But partitions changed in between.
According to this SP Flash Tool can also physically format a partition if you can get a partition management table (PMT). The scatter file describes logical partitions, but it seems you can also add PMT. (After backup with MTKDroidTool, click "prepare Blocks for FlashTool")
Knowing this, provided that hardware is relatively unchanged, it could be possible for newest TS to enjoy TWRP happiness.
I would like to try, if someone could be kind enough to give me a stock backup for TS 1-8-2100 firmware 20140328 with PMT. (there sould be a file called MT6572_Android_scatter_emmc_PMT.txt)
I need you to help me help you to help me help you.
thx.

That's all that was generated by the tool I'm afraid, I followed the steps from the link you provided too, but still no joy. It only produces the standard one, no PMT suffix.

That's unfortunate. Did you click on "prepare Blocks for FlashTool" after backup ? I'll try myself asap to confirm the procedure.
Yes I did, but no PMT text file in the relevant folder..
Tigerite said:

Well, the procedure is correct. It appears that PMT can be (or not) in scatter file without any difference in the filename. So you have to check by yourself, as I did, if you want to format. (look for many lines per partition, like 'physical_start_addr' and 'linear_start_addr')
You have to select "format+download" in "sp flash tools" to format everything (including preloader, so be carefull).
Take all precautions: Backup everything, including userdata and cache partition, because sp flash tools will ask for it if you have to format. Do not forget to backup nvram.
Doing this, I successfully formatted the TS and installed previous firmware, 20140328.
Sadly, the TS won't boot. Here lies my hope to get TWRP and bt tether ROM working without update from its creator...
So, back to firmware 20140513.
After the new format+backup, TS boot normally, but I had a "IMEI invalid" error. So, I used MTKdroidtools to restore nvram the same way I previously backed it up.
Complete 'format+download' is to be used if you messed up with partitions or if partitions changed.
Could be usefull, this was to let you know how.

Install last firmware known to be working with twrp.

Revert to previous backup.

I like to see things by myself.
It's not your firmware that's the problem. I'm running twrp on the latest firmware without issue.

I can only rely on testimonies on this very forum, but I have not seen a single person succesfully installed twrp on firmware 20140513.

No one is trying to win. I have a good deal of experience with MTK devices based on my researching various methods of backup/restore/flash/etc and I was offering a hand.

got watch on 7/26. did OTA. firmware date 5/27/2014. unable to install TWRP via any method including shell DD command. well it installs but on entry I just get on the old andy with red ! showing. It seems like a watchdog timers reboots it after a few minutes and all is back to the way it was.
Which TWRP did you use?
can anybody please create a download link for the latest ROM so people that cant update via OTA can update via spflash tools

Updated it yesterday via OTA.
Anyways its just some bug fixes. Also my fingerprint scanner works better now.
I've heard some ppl who cant update via OTA, has to do it with their SD card taken out. Try that.
OTA is just a update, not a full rom
full rom is installed with flashtool
can this rom rootet?

I tried a few methods, none worked.
I flashed latest Johnny's TWRP but then the system didn't boot.
I tried to "fastboot boot custom-recovery.img" but the prompt gave me a "locked bootloader" error, and the "fastboot oem unlock" didn't work because of the old stuck volume up issue.
I also tried kingroot, both from pc and through apk. Nothing.

anyone having problem with back camera?
after installing this the phone cant detect/access the back camera anymore.
I've just managed to update my P9000 to 20170112 after the update last year that stopped it being able to OTA.
Lucky for me there were some users on the elephone "Official" forum although I can't see any official help being offered.
Anyway, since getting it running all appears ok except now instead of poor GPS I don't have any working GPS at all.
Just a warning for anyone who relies on GPS.
I gave up using the inbuilt GPS ages ago and just use a Bluetooth unit I had lying around since the dark ages of smartphones.
Good luck with the new rom should you decide to install it.
That sounds aweful man...considering all the problems, i'll never buy Elephone for sure, and maybe also leave my hands of Chinaphones
I also have the problem that i downloaded the Rar-File, but there is no information to be found on how to exactly flash the ROM. What files of the ROM do I need,
and which hooks to activate in SP Flash tools.

Hey Guys,
what do you think is the best costum rom (stable) for the Mate 10 pro?
Is it possible to flash it with Pie 9.0.161?

that's definitely a worse rom. i'm on it right now.

If you have the Pie update from firmware finder it's an approved ROM unless you have a modified recovery it checks and you wouldn't be able to install it if it wasn't approved so you probably have the latest approved ROM

Hi! Quick question. My BLA-L09 is on build number 8.0.0.131(c782). I'm rooted with Magisk via Pretoriano's TWRP using the all in one tool. I can't receive firmware updates because of this (they fail to install).
If I update to Pie, will I be able to root again with Magisk? How can make this update? I suppose I would need stock recovery back and don't know where to get it from it how to flash it. It was my first time doing this on a Huawei, I'm used to Samsung devices. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Nope, you won't. Any version from 8.0.0.146 and above will contain the new bootloader which won't let you unlock it or install twrp, magisk or whatever, most probably you will brick your phone like I did.
You'll be a lot safer to stay on what you're on. Huawei did a nifty development to make life miserable to anyone which likes to customize their phone. Maybe they should be called Huapple from now on...
I was in a similar situation as you, 141 if I remember correctly. Installed Xposed via magisk, got a bootloop, did a system restore via erecovery, got it working again and lost magisk/root so thought it would be the time to do the ota, didn't know about the bootloader change so found I was on emui 9, tried to install twrp but that bricked the phone. So I tried to do the system restore via erecovery again, but that didn't work.
After that tried every possible way (inc. paying funkyhw etc.) to recovery the phone, no way. If you try to downgrade it to a version before 146 it will hardbrick leaving you with a paperweigth.
So if I were you, I wouldn't touch a thing. I gave up and am waiting for my Oneplus 6, much better phone for this stuff.

There is a ResurectionRemix rom that can be used for that. Just search for RR-O-v6.0.0-20180402-bkl-OpenKirin.zip it should work as this one's flashable by twrp. I haven't tried it so can't tell if it does. I have the file but I don't know if it's complete as it only contains system.img which seems strange as normally there would also be a boot.img or at least a kernel.img

Hello (hopefully) Black Shark Owner,
Unfortunately, it seems that rooting the Black Shark prevents the ability to use OTA on the phone.
What i need, is your help:
if you have a Black Shark on G66X1901082OS00MPX, Please reply to this thread.
I will give you instruction to help me fix my phone, and if that works, i should be able to create an Image that can be flashed to Black Shark Global phones, to restore them to Stock condition (and allow OTA again)
Thanks to @leipnacht, i was able to fix my phone, update from pre-2019 version, to the latest security update at june 2019.
I will post instructions later for everyone with broken OTA.

The backups from @leipnacht seem to be working for me. Once i test it completely, if my phone resumes OTA, i will try to make a backup and package it into a flashable zip.
That way, anyone should be able to restore his phone completely.

Build number
DE2117_11_C.17
Hardware version
DE2117_11
I keep seeing T-Mobile version, INTL version, DE18 and all that. I'm so confused, I just need root.
I believe that's the international version since mine is DE2117. Not sure because of the "_11" at the end of yours. Maybe that signifies you updated it, in which case you will probably have to downgrade it.
Rooting this phone is a headache btw. I'm not even sure if I should be providing instructions because I bricked mine multiple times while attempting and had to keep restoring with MSMtools, and now I'm not even sure I can update it without losing root. I don't even think I did anything differently when it finally worked, it's just luck.
Anyway, first step is to download the international version of the MSMtools and payload dumper. look up how to dump the boot image with payload dumper from the MSMtools. And make sure you don't attempt to do anything to the device before unlocking your bootloader (and you'll have to unlock it again everytime you restore with MSMtool).
From there you should be able to follow guides.
@swee08315
I downloaded the latest update available from https://www.oneplus.com/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=PM1630638351161
But the phone is updated to July. Hmmmm.....
I've extracted the boot.img from there. Patched it with magisk. I'm about to fastboot flash it..... Wish me luck, I'm going in.
Unless there's a way to extract the boot.img that's currently installed. I think I'll poke around and look for that rather than simply hoping this is the right one.

[GUIDE] Root and keeping root options
Update 230526: Correct numbering of "B.1.1 Simple" to "B.1.2 Simple", use "OOS 13+" instead of "OOS 13" as OOS 13.1 is now available A. First time rooting This process is common across all options A.1 Flashing Magisk patched boot image There...

A1.1 will get the boot.img your device currently has.
Edit: if you flashed the boot.img from the official site, then your device is most likely bricked. I'll fetch my boot.img and link it here (won't be magisk patched).

yeah, I bricked it
Nothing a few beers won't cure.
Once I unbrick, I will do A1.1 though.

here's the boot.img (not rooted)
I hope you haven't wiped yet

nah, I don't wipe until I get into the shower.
But yeah, I completely reset everything with MSM tools. In the process of letting all the updates go through. Thanks for the boot img though, It'll save me the trouble of having to pull it using the msm tools.
Edit: I forgot to do the vbmeta stuff after flashing the magisk patched. How do I fix? Can I borrow your vbmeta, @justauserthatusesaphone ?

So I can update my oneplus and then patch and use this bootimg to regain root? Or will trying to update my rooted device brick it and I'd have to wipe everything and start from scratch anyway?

Don't worry about it. I redid the MSM tool since the phone wasn't even setup yet, no big loss.

So, I don't know how this phone handles updates. I've had previous phones that if it was rooted, the OTA would fail to install, and others that the OTA would install and replace the boot.img, so root would be removed.
The first case, I would have to unroot, restore the stock boot.img, and then it could take the OTA update.
The other case I would have to block OTAs until I could get the boot.img for it, so that I could root the update.
The guide posted here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-root-and-keeping-root-options.4387977/
part B explains how to update and maintain root. Seems like it's the first case. Restore stock boot.img.

You could turn off automatic system updates so it doesn't reboot automatically and then you install the update and when it asks you to restart, go into magisk and click install and install to inactive slot then you go back to the system update page and click restart. I don't know whether Google's ota system makes it easier or not.
Late reply but I can confirm that all updates fail on this device and you would have to unroot to get the update, and then root again. Very annoying that it's constantly notifying me that an update is available or that it tried to update last night and failed

I never had that issue but if you do, press uninstall and restore images (DON'T REBOOT), then after installing the updates (DON'T REBOOT) press install and install to inactive slot. Press the reboot button and you're done.
