[ROM][STOCK][FASTBOOT][OPN] Stock Fastboot ROMs for OnePlus Nord - OnePlus Nord Guides, News, & Discussion

Things are changing with the advent of project treble and seamless updates. OnePlus will no longer release ROMs flashable via recovery (either stock) because is no more needed. The updates will be done on the slot not used for example if you are using slot a the update will be installed on slot b and the slot b will be set as default. If you brick and you are in bootloop how you can restore the rom? You can't with Stock ROM you have, because the zip can be only installed via Update Engine, so what can you do? Flash a stock rom via fastboot. I have extracted all images from the stock zip and i have made a new zip with the Fastboot ROM with a flash-all.bat included. This will work only if your bootloader is unlocked. This will erase all your data and will wipe your internal storage.
HOW TO FLASH
This version is only for not branded devices
Download the zip;
Unpack the zip in a folder;
Reboot the OnePlus Nord in fastboot-bootloader mode (Power and volume + and volume-);
Connect the OnePlus Nord to PC;
Run flash-all.bat flasher you need;
Wait until the process end;
The phone will automatically reboot.

Reboot in recovery
Hello everyone, I need help.
I got the message "File system raw not supported." after executing the flash_all.bat and
Code:
boot_b, dtbo, modem_b, recovery, vbmeta, vbmeta_system,
was sent with status
Code:
OKAY
(the first part of the script, as far as I can see), then is supposed to reboot on fastboot and stays at
Code:
<waiting for any device>
, here is when my phone restarts in recovery instead (it says "fastbootd" in the upper part and a menu to select chinesse or english, but it's recovery mode, right?), then the first time I wited for 15 minutes but nothing happened, so I selected reboot into fastboot in recovery mode, then in CMD I got the message "fastboot: error Failed to boot into userspace fastboot; one or more components might be unbootable", and the seccond part of the script was executed, but with
Code:
FAILED (remote: 'Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions')
status in the writing process, and after,
Code:
"Invalid sparse file format at header magic"
with
Code:
FAILED (remote: 'Partition not found')
when trying to write system, vendor and product. My phone restarted and looked normar but wifi didn't work, and the UI started to fail after the configuration.
So I tried again, but without rebooting from recovery; how much time do I have to wait there?, maybe this will not work.
Please if someone knows how to solve my problem I'll be glad for the help.

MSM TOOL
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-nord/how-to/opnord-unbrick-tool-to-restore-device-t4148415

I succeeded from linux, everything seems to work fine now.
I just have one question, there's one file missing
fastboot flash storsec storsec.img
Is supposed to be like that or is that an important file missed?
That file doesn't exists in the 10.5.5-INDIA-NordOxygen_14_OTA_007_all_2008180229 zip file

I bricked my device and nothing (what i try) worked.
Hello Guys,
Thanks for the Roms and also for twrp @ mauronofrio!
If i try to flash in fastboot the roms, i get different fails:
the first part of commands are okay until "fastboot reboot fastboot"
than, until "fastboot flash xbl_config xbl_config.img" i get:
"writing 'xbl_config'...
FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions)"
and for the lasts, i get:
FAILED (remote: Partition not found)
I read that some windows-user have the same Problem and therrefore the Problem is not the bricked phone, is it right?
Someone knows the same Problem in linux? I prefer a solution without windows (msm-tool).
I tried to root and flash with twrp, now i know, it's impossible to flash zips until now. I try some other things with twrp, it's possible that i delete some partitions?
Someone have a good solution?
thanks for reading and support

Hi,
Few questions:
Has Global rom OP dialer? Can be enabled auto call recording with root or adb? I know abut Skvalex.
Can I flash 10.5.5 Global at 10.5.9 EEA (flash_all.bat)?

Getting stuck on odm and vendor flashing. It will not flash odm and vendor no file exists message (using flash all bat). Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Update: got it back to stock using edl mode.

You can flash this way. When you enter from the fastboot to the fastbootD mode Windows thinks it's a new device and doesn't recognize it. If you open device manager from control panel it will showns as unknow device. So all you have to do is install the driver again. Then you can flash anything you want in fastbootD.

-

What does "unbranded" mean here? Will I get OTA updates? Will this relock the bootloader?

[GUIDE][GRUS]How to flash TWRP and GSI ROMs on MI 9 SE

# I assume you are confident with ADB and Fastboot commands and you know what you are doing. #
# If you don't, search on Google before messing with your device. #
# I am not responsible for...you know what I mean. On the other hand, please feel free to point out any error in this guide. #
# Lots of useful information can be found on Telegram Group for Mi 9 SE #
# If you already unlocked your bootloader and flashed TWRP, go directly to part 2 of this guide #
PART 1 - UNLOCK DEVICE AND FLASH TWRP
# Before starting, be sure that you can unlock your bootloader and you have these files: #​
- Mi Unlock tool (http://en.miui.com/unlock/)
- Minimal ADB & Fastboot 1.4.3 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790)
- TWRP recovery for your device (please check the development section).
Install ADB and Fastboot drivers on your PC, if you don't have them already.
- enable developer options on device, allow OEM unlock and ADB debug.
- install Minimal ADB & Fastboot tool and run a command window. PLEASE DON'T USE WINDOWS 10 POWER SHELL. Double click on "cmdhere.dll" in root folder instead.
- move twrp image in the same folder where Minimal ADB & Fastboot is installed.
- for your convenience, rename twrp file as "twrp" only.
- connect your device to your PC USB port, pair it with PC then reboot it to bootloader (power + volume down combo).
Unlock bootloader using Mi Unlock tool (full unlocking guide at https://c.mi.com/thread-1635834-1-1.html)
Unlocking bootloader will erase all of your data, including storage.
Once you unlocked:
- reboot and setup device
- enable developer options again
- double check bootloader status and allow ADB debug
- connect to USB port and pair device with PC for ADB debug bridge then type in command window:
Code:
adb devices
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
once in bootloader screen code:
Code:
fastboot devices
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
- don't give fastboot command "fastboot boot recovery twrp" or "fastboot reboot recovery twrp". Just press and hold power+volume up for about 10 seconds to reboot to recovery.
- swipe to allow twrp modifications.
- I would suggest to NOT format data to get rid of encryption unless you actually need it. Encryption does not slow down your device or harm your battery life.
- I would also suggest to NOT wipe system and reboot to recovery because it could lead to a fastboot bootloop.
PART 2 - HOW TO FLASH A GSI ROM​
# IMPORTANT #​
When flashing a GSI ROM, it is recommended to use a Stable firmware as base.
If device is running different builds, flash latest Global or China Stable before starting using MiFlash tool.
Beware that device could have the anti-rollback enabled, so be careful when flashing another firmware.
Mi 9 SE is a system-as-root device, so you must flash A/B type GSI ROMs. ​
You will need these files:
- GSI A/B ROM (FlokoROM at https://treble.andro.plus/ or choose one at https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development)
- vbmeta.img (https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850505317)
- gapps for Google services (https://opengapps.org/) - select ARM64 - 9.0 - I would suggest nano or pico package.
- magisk for root and modules (https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445)
- MiFlash flashable STABLE stock firmware (http://en.miui.com/download or https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/grus/)
- MiFlash tool (https://www.xiaomiflash.com/)
If you are already running a Stable firmware start from here, if you don't, flash a Stable firmware.
- move GSI and vbmeta images in the same folder where Minimal ADB & Fastboot is installed.
- for your convenience, rename GSI file as "system" only.
- reboot device to bootloader, ensure you are connected with your PC properly
- to double check it, run a command window and type:
Code:
fastboot devices
once you get the device recognized type:
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
this command will disable dm-verity and AVB on device. PLEASE DON'T USE WINDOWS 10 POWER SHELL to disable vbmeta or you will get an error feedback. Double click on "cmdhere.dll" in root folder instead.
then:
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
this command will flash system.img
Code:
fastboot -w
this command will wipe data on device
Reboot your device in recovery using button combo and resize system partition to install Gapps.
From TWRP Wipe menu > advanced wipe > system > repair or change file system > resize system > swipe to resize
- move magisk and gapps from PC to device
- go to mount menu and tick mount system
- go back to install menu and flash gapps
- once you flashed gapps unmount system
- go to install and flash magisk
- go to wipe menu and swipe for factory reset
- reboot
once rebooted, complete the device setup.
be aware that some GSI could bootloop or not boot at all even if you followed the guide properly.
in case rely on GSI devs for assistance or fixes.
Of course you can flash a GSI ROM using TWRP.
The only fastboot command you need to perform is to disable dm-verity and AVB.
If you already disabled it while flashing TWRP for the first time, you can follow these steps to flash a GSI using TWRP:
- Tap on advanced Wipe menu and wipe cache, dalvik, data and system
- Tap on Install > Install Image > select image and flash it to system
- Install Gapps with the same process shown above.
- Swipe for factory reset and reboot.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If updating GSIs builds from the same branch (e.g. Floko 060219 to Floko 060919) you are not required to wipe data. You can update flashing system.img on TWRP and Gapps time by time.
If you are moving from unofficial builds to official, or if you are moving between branches (e.g. Floko to Havoc), you need to wipe data as well.
@pengus77 provided for a very useful Magisk Module that will fix adaptive brightness, battery stats and in-call BT. You will find it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79762257&postcount=242
If you flashed a GSI ROM, you are basically using a system.img flashed on top of your stock firmware so, unless you performed modifications to vendor or boot partition, you can revert to stock using fastboot or TWRP.
You need to extract system.img (and boot and vendor, if needed) from the stock firmware.
You will need the vbmeta file as well to re-enable AVB and dm-verity otherwise the device will reboot in fastboot mode only.
Beware: you must flash EXACTLY the same system.img of the firmware you were running before flashing a GSI
Once you have both files, you can follow these steps to go back to stock using fastboot:
- place the files on Minimal ADB & Fastboot root folder
- reboot bootloader
- start a command window from Minimal ADB and type: fastboot devices
once your device has been recognized type the following commands:
- fastboot -w
- fastboot flash system system.img
- (optional) fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
- (optional) fastboot flash boot boot.img
- fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
- fastboot reboot
You can also revert to stock using TWRP, by the way you will still need fastboot to flash vbmeta partition.
These are the steps to follow if you are using TWRP:
- place system.img on your device and vbmeta.img in Minimal ADB & Fastboot root folder.
- reboot to twrp and wipe dalvik, cache and data
- flash system.img to system partition
- (optional) flash vendor.img to vendor partition
- (optional) flash boot.img to boot partition
- reboot to bootloader
Start a command window in Minimal ADB & Fastboot, then type:
- fastboot devices
- fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
- fastboot reboot

I hope it is helpful
Backup worked for me on the TWRP I mentioned above.
If you want revert to stock you can flash again stock firmware using MiTool (fastboot ROM) or twrp (Recovery ROM).
Good thread! Might be confusing if there's no guide to install TWRP and GSI ?
Great guide. It will help a lot of people to flash and test roms. And us by extension to find the best rom for our device !
Today I had some time and I tried to install the latest Havoc Gsi, unfortunately the result was negative, I ran the guide both from xda and from here, my basic rom was 10.2.3.0, arrived at the command fastboot -w performs the various wipes, but then it does not allow me to go into recovery, it always and only goes in fastboot, and the only way to make the smartphone work is to use miflash and put the official version back.

Try to flash vbmeta.
For me is not necesary.
Try like this from twrp:
- Wipe cache, dalvik cache, system, data
- Flash latest weekly eu firmware as base xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9SE_9.6.5_v10-9.zip
- Than flash havoc as system
Optional: flash magisk and custom kernel

Read carefully post n.2
Before I flash this, I world like to know from those already using this rom: How is the camera quality and finger print unlock response /speed?
I'm pissed at the frequent snow down of the miui system because I run vpn all day on my phone.

Generally speaking, all the GSIs ROMs are based on Phhusson AOSP GSI ROM, so they have more or less the same performance and bugs.
At he moment FOD is not working well. You cannot unblock the device while on screen off or while on AOD.
For camera, you can install BSG Google Camera mod, that is working quite good.

How to install GSIs the proper way.

So, You've grown tired of stock and wanna try out some Custom ROM that is not available for DRG? GSIs are the way to go! Let's see how to flash them properly.
*Disclaimer*
Code:
You will need to unlock your bootloader for flashing GSIs.
Failing to properly follow these steps will most likely end up in your phone getting bricked w/ data loses. Please follow the instructions carefully
Thanks to user - @Paul98rulez for original guide. I'm modifying it to add some more information.
Before you do any of this, Please remove the screen lock from the current ROM. It's just to be safe.
Method 1A - Fastboot
This is method I recommend you follow.
1. Download the vbmeta file attached(Thanks to @Phusson)
2. Reboot to Fastboot mode/Download mode
3. Open cmd
4. Pass the command
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img
5. Pass the command
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verifiaction flash vbmeta_b vbmeta.img
(It looks similar, But dont skip passing both the commands)
6. Pass the command
Code:
fastboot erase system_a
7. Pass the command
Code:
fastboot erase system_b
8. Now, To install the GSI, Pass the command
Code:
fastboot flash system_a 'nameofgsi.img'
9. Now, We will flash the GSI to the other slot
Code:
fastboot flash system_b 'nameofgsi.img'
10. Now pass the command
Code:
fastboot getvar all
This is to see which is the current boot slot utilised by our device.
11. If the active boot slot is A then pass
Code:
fastboot --set-active=a
12, If the active boot slot is B then pass
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b
(If either of the set boot slot command fails, Simple add an underscore to the command. EG - 'fastboot --set-active=_a)
13. Now, Pass the command
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
14. Fastboot TWRP, Go to wipe, Swipe to factory reset.
15. Now again go to wipe, tap on system - change or repair filesystem - tap on resize. This will allow you to flash gapps
(You will need to do this only once)
16. Now reboot your phone.
17. Profit.
Method 1B - TWRP
1. Download the vbmeta file attached(Thanks again to @Phusson)
2. Reboot to Fastboot mode/Download mode
3. Open cmd
4. Pass the command
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img
5. Pass the command
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verifiaction flash vbmeta_b vbmeta.img
(It looks similar, But dont skip passing both the commands)
6. Fastboot TWRP
7. Go to install
8. Select "Install Image" option
9. Select the GSI
10. Swipe down and find the System option and select it
11. Swipe to flash
12. Now go back to the main screen - Wipe and swipe to factory reset
13. Tap on system - change or repair filesystem - resize partition - swipe to resize
(Need to do it only once)
14. Go back to install
15. Install gapps
16. reboot system.
And you're done. Welcome to your new GSI!
Get the vbmeta here - Vbmeta
(Thanks to user @phhussonn)

Yes you can install Android 10 GSI but make sure it based on Android 10, Android 9 GSIs maybe will not boot on Android 10's vendor.

Mi A3 Beginner Issues with TWRP

Hey guys,
just got my Xiaomi Mi A3 today, so i wanted to install TWRP and root the phone with Magisk.
Well my problem is that the device is now stuck in "fastboot" mode. I mean there are tons of tutorials outside, but they are different. So it is really hard to known, which one will work. There are a lot of tutorials which are describing the way with an unofficial .img and and TWRP Installer with it.
So what have i done so far:
1. Installed the needed ADB and Xiaomi drivers and downloaded "Android Platform Tools"
2. Unlocked the bootloader on the device --> so far everything was OK
3. Then i found an tutorial and it is saying that i should use the following command "fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-laurel_sprout.img"
Unfortunately, if i am trying to enter that i am getting the following error: fastboot error: command failed (remote - unknown command)
So after that i was searching for an Tutorial on YouTube and found an different way.
The guy in the tutorial is using the command: "fastboot flash boot twrp.img"
Well, the end of the story is at the moment, it doesn´t matter how i want to reboot my device it always lands in "fastboot" mode.
Is there an kind soul outside, which can help me out to install twrp on my phone? Hopefully with an "CORRECT" Tutorial?
Thank you.
Edit# 1: If i enter the command "fastboot set_active b" my phone loads up and says "Can´t load Android System. Your data may be corrupt. And i can choose between Try again and factory data reset.
Edit# 2: Okay, i made some research and tried the following commands:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot getvar all
fastboot erase boot
fastboot set_active b
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
fastboot reboot
The phone booted now directly to TWRP.
Edit# 3: Okay, so as far as i understand, i wiped my stock rom with the command: fastboot flash boot twrp.img , because i didn´t switched the slot to "b" before, correct?
After my commands in "Edit# 2" i wiped everything and installed TWRP permanently to slot "b". Just went through TWRP a little bit and if i click on "Install" all Storage devices are at 0MB. So how do i get my stock ROM back?
My Problem is that this device already had this faulty Android 10 version when i bought that. When i firsted turned that on, the phone was showing me that an Android Update is available. But when i wanted to install that, it was saying this update is for Android 9. I think you know what i am talking about.
So what are my options now? Where do i get that stock rom back and how should i proceed? I also saw some posts here that an downgrade is not that good, because a lot of sensors will not work after that.
I was on the latest Android 10 March Security Patch and had the same problem. However, I was able to figure it out and made it work. Here's what I did:
1. Flash the latest Android 10 fastboot rom (search in XDA)
2. Download this modified boot image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-dCUenlLq4C-l-LJWQUsOFhlIRRAb5xI/view?usp=drivesdk
3. On fastboot, execute: fastboot getvar current-slot (make sure you are on slot A)
3. If not on A, execute: fastboot set_active a
4. Execute: fastboot flash boot (image name).img
5. Fastboot reboot (make sure to press volume + before hitting enter)
6. You are now booted to TWRP
7. Flash the TWRP Installer zip (can be found in XDA)
8. Wipe dalvik cache
9. Reboot to fastboot
10. Execute: fastboot set_active b
11. Execute: fastboot reboot
Let me know if this works for you! Hope this is a great help.

Hey there,
first of all thank you for your reply
Unfortunately those steps were not working for me or i am misunderstanding something.
So i followed your steps:
1. Flash the latest Android 10 fastboot rom (search in XDA) - found that here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a3/how-to/fastboot-rom-android-10-v11-0-8-0-march-t4069077
Unzipped the files to my platform-tools folder and started the "flash_all.bat" file. No errors so far -> after the last command "fastboot reboot" device automatically booted up and it stucked on the "mi" logo. In the thread which i have mentioned above a few people had the same problem and they were told to execute an factory reset.
So i went back to fastbood mode and typed in "fastboot erase userdata" - but nothing happended. So i was stuck at the "mi" logo.
Then i thought i will go on and follow the next steps:
2. Download this modified boot image: - downloaded that
3. On fastboot, execute: fastboot getvar current-slot (make sure you are on slot A)
3. If not on A, execute: fastboot set_active a
4. Execute: fastboot flash boot (image name).img
5. Fastboot reboot (make sure to press volume + before hitting enter)
6. You are now booted to TWRP Endresult: NO TWRP was booting straight away back to fastboot mode
What am i doing wrong? I just want to go back to my Androis OS with latest March Security Patch and Install TWRP permanently,so after that i can root it with Magisk.
Edit# 1: I was not using your modified boot image, i took that one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82087765&postcount=3 and could boot into TWRP after that.
But anyways it seems that there is nothing on my phone, i still stuck at the "mi" logo and when i go to TWRP, everything is empty on the storage device. I mean if i go to the Button "Wipe" --> "then Swipe for factory reset" i get the following errors.
"Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer."
"unable to mount storage"
Current state of the device:
Booting normally: Stucks on "Mi" Logo
Holding Volume Down + Power: boots to "FastBoot Mode"
Holding Volume Up + Power: boots to "TWRP"
Edit# 2: Phone is alive again
Followed these steps below and managed to install TWRP permanently and get back my Android OS.
If you have fastboot, simply flash TWRP, boot to TWRP recovery, do a full wipe, including formatting using data. Reboot to TWRP ( check boxes to install TWRP manager - if you see that screen)
Once rebooted to TWRP Recovery, Flash Rom of Choice, Gapps if needed, Flash Magisk again. Boot to system and setup.
The only issue i am having at the moment, everytime i Install the Magisk.zip over TWRP my A3 stucks at "mi" logo. So just need to figure that out.
But hey i´m almost done!
Edit# 3: Tried to install Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt package, before Magiskv20.4 installation, but still getting bootloop after flashing the .zip file.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Update: Everything is working Oh god, that was my first day with an Android Phone and i really learned a lot about it. Even if i figured out everything by myself, i hope that this thread helps someone out, who is facing similiar issues.
Final Steps:
1. downloaded MiFlash and flashed my Mi A3 with the latest ROM - laurel_sprout_global_images_V11.0.8.0.QFQMIXM_79d650b0da_10.0 -
2. Device booted up with an error that the Android OS is corrupted and i had to reset it to factory settings
3. Device booted up to the Android OS.
4. Downloaded my stock boot.img and copied that to my Downloads folder
5. Installed Magisk Manager on my device and patched my stock boot image. If everything is done an new magisk_patched.img will be created under the same path.
6.Used following command to copy the .img file from my device to my PC "adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img"
7. Opened CMD --> navigated to my adb tools and typed in following code: adb reboot bootloader --> Enter --> fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img --> Enter --> fastboot continue
8. Done, device booted up and Magisk was successfully installed.
Thank you.

TWRP on DOOGEE N20PRO

Hi all
i want to install TWRP on my Doogee N20PRO . i cannot find a TWRP File on the internet to install. I could find some for the N20 but not for the N20PRO. it´s an Helios P60 Processor with an MTK6771. I tried to install the HAVOC 3.7 but i get the Message "writing 1/15 failed (remote: this partition doesn´t exist)

This is simple about TWRP: Your phone have МТК Helio Р60 MT6771V/CA WITH Android 10.0 and it's a NEW phone now. So no developments yet.
For install GSI ROMs your need unlock bootloader and after follow the correct instructions to new phones shipped with A10!
If you only want install GSI so I suggest:
1- Have stock ROM first, always!!;
2- With security 1- you should unlock bootloader;
3- You can install GSI with stock recovery without problems.
The only part is: you cannot backup userdata.....

Cool This helps already a lot.
i unlocked the Bootloader properly, but then i got a partition error. I assume i´ve an error in the command line. The phone was anyway only an interim solution till my POco F2 was back from repair. now i use it as a playground.
fastboot erase system - there i get a partition error.
erasing the User data was sucessful
but then
fastboot flash system system.img it stops at step 1/15 again for the partition error (partition doesn´t exist) Stock rom is available.
somebody knows the options i´ve to add to the command line?

Try but REMENBER I am not responsible for any errors. Bootloader should unlocked by adb-fastboot!!
Spoiler: Instructions
1. You need know the difference about fastboot and FASTBOOTD in your device!!
Your device has bootloader mode: recovery - fastboot - reboot (system)
Stock recovery has very options: reboot system - reboot to bootloader - wipe - Enter fastboot - ...
reboot to bootloader => normal fastboot
Enter fastboot => FASTBOOTD
FASTBOOTD => some options
2. Device in fastboot
Code:
fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
vbmeta file from stock ROM or pulled from device
3.
Code:
fastboot -w
4.
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
(you MUST be at the FASTBOOTD menu now. If not, you will not be able to flash the GSI successfully)
5.
Code:
fastboot erase system
or
Code:
fastboot delete-logical-partition system
6.
Code:
fastboot delete-logical-partition product
- deletes the product partition, allowing a larger system partition
I not need resize-logical-partition product. But if you want:
You will need a larger system partition to flash a GSI. There are 2 ways to achieve this
6A. fastboot resize-logical-partition product 509344768
6B. fastboot resize-logical-partition system 3089272064 or 3889272064
resizes product and system partitions. This gives you about 3GB of system partitions. You can adjust or arrive at your own numbers if you want different sizes.
7.
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash system GSI.img
8.
Code:
fastboot -w
for confirm great & fast start GSI
9.
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
9A.
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
for confirm and boot clean
10. Reboot to system
Code:
fastboot reboot
Enjoy
I also have an N20 Pro which I received Dec 2020. Had some trouble setting it up. I got the OEM ROM from Doogee customer support and was able to extract the boot image and patch it with Magisk. I then burned it with the SP Flash tool. It wouldn't boot until I burned a special vbmeta.img to turn off encryption. Now it's working fine.
Sorry this doesn't help you with TWRP but I think most people looking for TWRP are really looking to root their phone.

Okay so what ive seen is that you should avoid flashing custom roms via adb fastboot especially with our doogee phones, and also there are many incompatiable roms so what you will need is to unlock bootloader and do the whole twrp install thing adn also install magisk
before hand install treble info from google playstore and take down the information "arm64 a/b" and search for roms with that information to install custom os/rom/gsi properly. GSI versions are more preferred if your phone supports treblle
if your twrp keeps getting wiped after reboot open file :mount your system and connect to pc via usbcable (mtp if not showing disable mtp and re- enable it )
now got to where build.prop is saved there will be a file called recovery from boot.p , copy the file to pc , open with notepad, remove everything , save and copy back to phone (overwrite)
then go ahead and install magisk
make sure your magisk is working install edxposed, riru core , and busybox ndk get the apps you need for them (edxposed manager...) and then instal and activate a module which you can test if its working(if framework is active in edxposed manager and the module working correctly then you can go ahead and
Install custom os through twrp
follow these instructions ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...lexperience-10-gsi-android-10-stable.4081685/ ) with your custom rom (corvus, havoc, lineage...
(the g-apps didnt flash for me (error code 64) but i just rebooted and everything was working fine (including gapps but camera sucked (doogee's rear camera setup was just terrible))
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...lexperience-10-gsi-android-10-stable.4081685/

[GUIDE] How to Unbrick Nokia 8.3 affected by May 2023 Security Patch

As I mentioned before, unlocking the bootloader will fix this issue.
But if you don't want to unlock the bootloader, then this guide is for you.
DO NOT USE THIS METHOD IF JUNE 2023 OR NEWER UPDATE RELEASES IN FUTURE!
YOU SHOULD NOT IGNORE, REVERSE, SKIP ANY OF THE STEPS!
We assume you know how to use ADB/Fastboot commands.
Before you proceed, make sure you have your phone's battery charged as much as possible, or the bootloader will not allow you write any partitions.
1. Download this package and extract:
Non-Chinese users: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=10620683726822058340
Chinese users can download from here: https://api.hikaricalyx.com/FileDownload/CTWorks?id=beb66c13d70644

SHA256: 72425ebdf249f523c81646786eb92d57229e9164ad25be2ef2d920eb7176fcd3
You should keep at least 10,030MB (10GB approx) empty space.
2. Open FastbootDriver folder and open DPInst64.exe (or DPInst32.exe if you're using 32-bit Windows) to install correct Fastboot driver. Once Fastboot driver installed, open RegistryFix.reg to prevent fastboot mode become unstable.
3. Sideload Android 10 Full OTA Package Under Recovery mode. Enter Recovery Mode by using either of these 2 methods.
- Execute these 2 commands:
Code:
fastboot reboot-fastboot
fastboot reboot-recovery
Then this phone will boot right into Recovery menu.
- At Fastboot screen, use Volume key to select Recovery mode, then power key to confirm.
When you see Android robot lying, press Volume Up key while holding power key to get Recovery menu.
We recommend users to use method 1 as many people don't know how to press such combination key.
4. Download this Android 10 Full OTA package:
https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota-api/package/627142c637bf373410e6b8911aeb9b2e65bd5969.zip
or from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=10620683726822057898Chinese users who don't have access to Google server can download from here: https://api.hikaricalyx.com/FileDownload/CTWorks?id=f427f5862b7749

SHA256: ba940f216f8d69de988005a6c61ba03073a5b0aacb0789005db5f2f2befe1a02
Please re-download this package if SHA256 is incorrect.
5. Use volume key to select "Apply update from ADB", then power key to confirm.
6. Execute this command to sideload Android 10 Full OTA to your phone:
Code:
adb sideload /path/to/627142c637bf373410e6b8911aeb9b2e65bd5969.zip
You may see downgrade not allowed message on screen, but it will be installed anyway. Wait for the procedure completes.
If the procedure halted at 94% and it says "adb: failed to read command: No error", it's expected.
7. Use volume key to select "Reboot to bootloader", power key to confirm.
8A. To Windows users, double click "0_OpenMeToInstall.cmd", and wait for the procedure completes. We only guarantee it will work on Windows 10 and 11.
DO NOT RUN IT WITH ADMINISTRATOR PRIVILEGES!
-
8B. To non-Windows users or you prefer to flash the package manually, execute these commands. It's absolutely discouraged to use outdated Fastboot binary (e.g. Minimal ADB and Fastboot).

FAQ and Troubleshooting
Q1. ADB prompts cannot read '/path/to/zipfile.zip' when sideloading!
A1. You're probably using outdated ADB binary (e.g. Minimal ADB and Fastboot). Always use latest Platform Tools from here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
Your outdated ADB binary might be installed at following directories. We strongly recommend you delete it before you proceed.
Code:
C:\adb
C:\Windows
C:\Windows\system32
Delete these files:
adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll, fastboot.exe
Q2. Can I safely update to newer security updates?
A2. Yes you can. In case it bricked the phone again, rollback with this method.
Q3. The phone gets into bootloop while reinstalling firmware!
A3. To re-enter Fastboot mode, hold volume down key and power key while connected to PC. When the phone displays android one again, release power key immediately but don't release volume down key. Your phone should boot right into fastboot mode without vibration. You may need to try it multiples of times.
Then, re-open 0_OpenMeToInstall.cmd .
Q4: Why we don't recommend you to use "fastboot continue" method to "fix" the phone?
A4: 00WW_3_49E build has following known issues:
* You cannot install APK directly on device. PackageInstaller will crash immediately when you attempt to install APK.
* You cannot install newer OS update.
Those who're staying at 00WW_3_49E can reboot the phone into bootloader mode and follow this method to reinstall 00WW_3_49F update.
Q5: Can I do this under Windows 7?
A5: We can only guarantee it will run under Windows 10 or 11. Take your own risk if you're using Windows 7.
Q6: How to acknowledge if SHA256 is correct?
A6: For Windows users, you can install 7-Zip or it's fork (e.g. NanaZip), and you can find SHA256 checksum feature by right click on the file.
For macOS or Linux users, execute this command:
Code:
sha256sum /path/to/package/you/d/like/to/checksum.zip
Q7: What if the PC is infected by Synaptics virus - where executables become into "._cache.fastboot.exe"?
A7: Please look for an antivirus app you trust, do a full scan then restart. It's most likely caused by using USB Redirector Customer Module before from unknown sources.
Q8: I got "This is not Nokia 8.3" error, but I'm pretty sure it's Nokia 8.3!
A8: I'm afraid that you have ignored some procedure. You must install have driver installed properly before you proceed.
Q9: The PC does not detect the device. I got "The USB device returned an invalid serial number string descriptor." in Device Manager.
A9: Open Administrator privilege command prompt, powershell of terminal, execute these commands:
Code:
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags" /v "IgnoreHWSerNum18d1d00d" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags" /v "IgnoreHWSerNum18d14ee0" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags" /v "IgnoreHWSerNum18d1d001" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
After that, use volume key to select "reboot to bootloader" on your phone and try again.
Q10: The phone is listed under Universal Serial Bus Controller as "Unknown Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)" in Device Manager.
A10: This is caused by following reasons and none of them are related to USB driver:
* USB port on your PC or phone is too loose.
* You're using USB cable with low quality.
* If full-size desktop PC, you're not using the USB port on the rear side. Using rear side USB port is always preferred.
Q11: Something wrong happened when using early version of UnbrickFix package, now I cannot enter Recovery mode and cannot flash anything under Fastboot mode. How can I revive my phone?
A11: You'll have to utilize EDL method at this point. Install prototype ABL by following the topic below. Once prototype ABL images are installed, reboot the phone back to fastboot mode and reopen latest version of UnbrickFix package. Note you don't need to unlock the bootloader, just install prototype ABL.

In this case, try to do this instead:
1. Input adb[space]sideload[space] then do not press enter.
2. Drag OTA package to command prompt then the full path will appear.
3. Press enter.

Alternately, if you have external SD card, try to put the package into SD card, then use "apply update from SD card" to install it.
BTW, are you using adb.exe inside of unbrick fix package, or you downloaded it separately (e.g. Minimal ADB and Fastboot)?
If you're using Minimal ADB and Fastboot, please don't use it. Use this instead:

Please check if system version is 00WW_3_490_SP05. This version has faulty PackageInstaller (you cannot install APK directly on device).
To readers here:
I'll reupload a newer package based on recently pushed 00WW_3_49F update (00WW_3_490_SP06).
Once uploaded please let me know if it works well.

As I mentioned before, unlocking the bootloader will fix this issue.
But if you don't want to unlock the bootloader, then this guide is for you.
DO NOT USE THIS METHOD IF JUNE 2023 OR NEWER UPDATE RELEASES IN FUTURE!
We assume you know how to use ADB/Fastboot commands.
Before you proceed, make sure you have your phone's battery charged as much as possible, or the bootloader will not allow you write any partitions.
1. Sideload Android 10 Full OTA Package Under Recovery mode. Enter Recovery Mode by using either of these 2 methods.
- Execute these 2 commands:
Code:
fastboot reboot-fastboot
fastboot reboot-recovery
Then this phone will boot right into Recovery menu.
- At Fastboot screen, use Volume key to select Recovery mode, then power key to confirm.
When you see Android robot lying, press Volume Up key while holding power key to get Recovery menu.
We recommend users to use method 1 as many people don't know how to press such combination key.
2. Download this Android 10 Full OTA package:
https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota-api/package/627142c637bf373410e6b8911aeb9b2e65bd5969.zip
3. Use volume key to select "Apply update from ADB", then power key to confirm.
4. Execute this command to sideload Android 10 Full OTA to your phone:
Code:
adb sideload /path/to/627142c637bf373410e6b8911aeb9b2e65bd5969.zip
You may see downgrade not allowed message on screen, but it will be installed anyway. Wait for the procedure completes.
If the procedure halted at 94% and it says "adb: failed to read command: No error", it's expected.
5. Use volume key to select "Reboot to bootloader", power key to confirm.
6. Download this package and extract:
Non-Chinese users: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=10620683726822057521
Chinese users can download from here: https://api.hikaricalyx.com/FileDownload/CTWorks?id=fc2e8e97ec9243
Code:
SHA256: 63640a314db853c803e1158ec3e86dbd38200e963b99ffc4335691928e5e5921
You should keep at least 10,014MB (10GB approx) empty space.
7A. To Windows users, double click "0_OpenMeToInstall.cmd", and wait for the procedure completes. We only guarantee it will work on Windows 10 and 11.
7B. To non-Windows users or you prefer to flash the package manually, execute these commands. It's absolutely discouraged to use outdated Fastboot binary (e.g. Minimal ADB and Fastboot).

Looks like you skipped some procedure.
To re-enter Fastboot mode, hold volume down key and power key while connected to PC. When the phone displays android one again, release power key immediately but don't release volume down key. Your phone should boot right into fastboot mode without vibration. You may need to try it multiples of times.
Then, re-open 0_OpenMeToInstall.cmd .
If the phone still reboots itself, save following content into "RegistryFix.reg" (with quotes) and import it.
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\0489C0090100]

Reboot to recovery manually with "adb reboot fastboot" then "fastboot reboot-recovery". Remember to turn on USB debugging.
Then follow the entire procedure. Do not use outdated ADB binary.

Please check your Device Manager and see if there's "Android" listed in "Other devices".
If so please install driver manually - such driver can be searched via Windows Update, Optional updates if you're using Windows 10 or 11.
