Just wondering if there is a version of MSM download tool that can flash oppo A72. As I have the stock ofp firmware but all versions of tool fail. I've also extracted the ofp and tried with qfil but no joys.
Oppo a72 don't have ofp firmware, it have ozip. You can flash it with stock recovery. To enter: turnoff, press and hold power+vol-, when wibrate and oppo logo is displayed release buttons. Tap "english", you're in stock recovery

Thank you for your reply. I know about the ozip update, but they are not complete flashes. I was wanting to mess about with modified boot image but have no way to flash it back.
Send me this file. What modifications you have made. Which file is boot image. I've tried patch by magisk but not successful

I have just once again extracted boot. Img from both OTA ozip update and from a full ofp rom found on the net. And managed to patch it with magisk manager (canary). But I still have no way of flashing it back to the phone as no way of encrypting ozip files once decrypted and I don't have a version of MSM download tool that works or qfil or edl tools. The top image shows file size difference of patched boot.img. Second shows magisk can patch it.

Ok, I see what can do with this. Later check it on my pc. Oh, no. I forgot that I have a system from another country through a vpn and needs the same version to be able to check. If you have an ozip file, put patched boot.img into this archive. Try uploading by recovery

I can't just put the boot. Img back into the ozip as it all needs encrypting again.
I have just 11, so I need such a file ozip. Unless I try to get back to 7 and there will be no problem. The ozip file has a zip structure Installed in twrp recovery. Perhaps the size of boot.img is given. I'll check it out

If you can decrypt the ozip, would it be possible to encrypt it again and flash it through stock recovery?
Also, if you can get into EDL, wouldn't that make it possible to flash things too?

I would recommend a Linux boot dvd if you are using a Windows computer, best to decrypt an ofp full firmware package. I'm away from my pc till next week but can send you boot.img then. Although I successfully modded it with magisk still no way too flash it.
I tried several times, unfortunately the package with the changed boot.img is rejected immediately. But there is a chance. I was wrong oppo has ofp firmware. However, I can't decrypt this file under linux, so further attempts are pointless. The file is oppo-decrypt-master with ofp_qc_extract.py in it. If you could try

I've faced a similar problem an this is how i solved it .DOWNGARDED FROM A.41 FIRMWARE TO A.34
download:
1) sp flash tool
2)oppo A5S firmware (should be software flashable not OTA ZIP)
3) oppo opf file extractor
4) oppo DAA&SLA BYPASS TOOL
5)MEDIATEK DRIVERS
6)oppo a5s da file
7)python
Battery should be sufficiently charged .
in the downloaded firmware extract the big file with the .opf extension using oppo opf extractor, make sure you select your phone type as mtk to get firmware with scatter file.
install python and run the bat file in the oppo DAA&SLA BYPASS TOOL folder this will diasble security allowing you to use custom DA.Assuming you have installed mediatek device drivers the python program will connect to your phone but you have to switch it off first.
Press both volume butttons at the same time and connect it to pc
once the program has ran succsessfully close the window. DO NOT DISSCONECT THE PHONE FROM PC
OPEN sp flashtool and the device manager loader the scatter file from the firmware you extracted and the custom da. use DOWNLOAD OPTION untick the FOLLOWING file to prevent errors while flashing "opporeserve2".
check in device manager the comport to which the phone is connected in the options tab of the sp flash tool open and click on connection adjust the comport N.O to the one of the phone
press start to begin flashing and wait for the process to finish

if that works flash it with fastboot flash boot_a bootmagiskpatched.img

Really cool. Finally some development for g8x
Man, thank you for your effort!
I installed the kernel while using the Havoc 3.12 GSI ROM. The system booted up beautifully. The only downside is SafetyNet not certifying it. But this is probably because Selinux is set to permissive. I hope your work will be stable soon. Best of luck!
Glad we got a kernel finally! But for some reason though, I can't get it to boot. What compiler did you use? Maybe I could help get DriveDroid working? I'd like that too actually.

Havoc-OS - Browse /arm64-ab at SourceForge.net

I installed version 3.12 with GAPPS included.
I have not tested the CTS module but as it is very difficult to pass the safetypass check with the kernel in permissive mode so I went back to the stock kernel.
I installed Havoc using TWRP as system image.

2. Kernel Build
- Uncompress using following command at the android directory
a) tar -xvzf *_Kernel_Q.tar.gz
- When you compile the kernel source code, you have to add google original "prebuilt" source(toolchain) into the android directory.
- Run following scripts to build kernel
a) cd kernel/msm-4.14
b) export CROSS_COMPILE=../../../prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/aarch64/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/bin/aarch64-linux-android-
c) export CLANG_TRIPLE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
d) make O=./out ARCH=arm64 vendor/mh2lm-perf_defconfig
e) make O=./out ARCH=arm64 REAL_CC=../../../prebuilts/clang/host/linux-x86/clang-r353983c/bin/clang -j24
* "-j24" : The number, 24, is the number of multiple jobs to be invoked simultaneously.
- After build, you can find the build image(Image) at kernel/msm-4.14/out/arch/arm64/boot

Fingerprint sensor, DT2W and Dual-Screen is not working man.
Otherwise everything works perfectly.
Most likely it can be installed on any version with access to TWRP.

How's RR rom working?
Is there any problem apart from FP, D2TW and dual screen?
LG G8X is a popular device in India bcaz of a Sale of device for less than 300$ just like Poco f1 . It would be great if I get a 62 Hz or more overclock mod as PUBG MOBILE 90FPS config works for 60hz+ devices and it improves fire rate of guns dramatically .
Please just make a mod even if it just 62hz I will be greatly thankfull

So far for me everything works ( wifi,audio,calls,sensors etc )
Install : try it first with fastboot boot bootmagiskpatched.img
if that works flash it with fastboot flash boot_a bootmagiskpatched.img
fastboot flash boot_b bootmagiskpatched.img
Primary goal was getting drivedroid working so if someone knows how pls tell me
Secondary goal was ability to mount smbshare on internal storage ( not working )
modified source is included if someone wants

Hi! Would flashing the kernel unlock the locked Mobile 3G bands on my AT&T G8x?
Can u compile a kernel with 65hz or 70hz display oc
Ever wanted to unbrick your device or switch to stock ROM from a custom ROM without using MSM Unbrick tool and keeping your bootloader unlocked after that well fastboot ROMs are here to help you . 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
1). Download the zip
2). Unpack the zip in a folder
3). Reboot the OnePlus 9R in fastboot-bootloader mode (Power and volume + and volume-)
4). Connect the OnePlus 9R to PC
5). Run flash-all.bat flasher
6). Wait until the process end
7). Voila! your OnePlus 9R will now boot into OxygenOS
POINTS TO REMEMBER
* "Invalid sparce file format at header magic" is not an error, you need to wait a bit when you see that string, just wait.
* These ROMs can't be used to update or downgrade your phone but just to restore your phone. Downgrade from OOS 12 works now.
* This can’t be used to switch from ColorOS to OxygenOS you can use MSM unbrick tool to do that.
DOWNLOAD:-
https://sourceforge.net/projects/op8t-9r-fastboot-roms/files/OnePlus_9R/
Nice
Hi OP, I changed the tag from Development to How To Guide, because we only use Development for original work like you build the ROM from kernel/device tree etc... Thanks.

* !!! IMPORTANT !!!
Before flashing make sure you know about which type of ram your device supports i.e LPDDR4X/LPDDR5 as flashing wrong xbl config will hardbrick your device.
Here’s how you can check what type of ram your device has:-
Now, as to exactly find out which variant that you have, turn on USB debugging and enter this command:-
Code:
adb shell getprop ro.boot.ddr_type
If the value is 0, that means you have LPDDR4X. If the value is 1, that means you have LPDDR5.
This command is more reliable than the Devcheck and other apps.

You will most likely need to visit the service center and get your phone repaired.
Are you sure that your device had DDR5?

Actually，I checked my DDR type via devcheck instead of the adb command. Seems that the dev check is no so reliable. Anyway, I have already sent my phone to the service center to repair, I have a OnePlus 7 pro as the backup phone, so it doesn't affect me too much.

Yeah. The apps aren't reliable at this. Always use the adb command. 100% reliable. And since it's harbricked for you, I am pretty sure that you have a DDR4X variant.

It’s clearly written to not trust devcheck and other apps that prop is the only trusted source of finding which type of ram ur device has. It has also come to my attention that DDR5 devices can boot to EDL if we flash wrong xbl configs on them but the DDR4 ones can’t boot to EDL if wrong xbl config is flashed. (Means ddr4 users would have to get phone repaired by service center if wrong xbl config is flashed on their device)

I faced the same problem
Service center says they can't flash it back
They ended up replaced a new motherboard for me
hmm for me the
Code:
adb shell getprop ro.boot.ddr_type
returns empty.
I guess that infers I'm using LPDDR4X?
Edit:
Code:
adb shell getprop
This would return a complete list of all the properties you can query with this command. For me, this list doesn't seem to have any field called "ro.boot.ddr_type"

I'm using the Chinese variant of OP9R, not so sure if it matters.
Also, DevCheck would not report RAM variants under the hardware tab as well.

I checked it again and

I'm sure flashed the ddr5 version, but it hard-bricked and even cant boot into 9008
*UPDATED*
* Added OxygenOS 11.2.6.6 Fastboot ROM
* Removed xbl configs so that now no more hardbricks happen
* Reduced partition sizes for inactive slot so that ROMs can be flashed properly through fastboot
will this work on Chinese variant 12gb/256gb ddr4 ? LE2100 bl is already unlocked

Patched boot image myself using imgpatchtools. Used A19 from you and applied the boot.img.p patch from OTA zip.
For anyone who needs. Here is the C.01 image for DN2103, stock and patched with magisk, you can read and write these with MTKclient as fastboot is removed in C.01. You may need to rename it to .bin

Why do you need fastboot? If root is all you want then flash those with MTKclient and BROM mode. Otherwise look in the forums there is instructions to downgrade from 11-12.
I'm actually wondering if we flash the right partitions from 11 while running 12 if it will brick or if it will reenable fastboot. Maybe someone brave can try

I have two EU phones right now. One have received OxygenOS 12.1 (C.01) and another one is sitting on A.20. Can I grab an update from the first phone somehow?

Assuming you've downloaded the update via the OTA settings tab, the update.zip will be at this location and can be transferred to your PC or flashed using TWRP as-is from the above location. "

Where to find update script A20 to A21?
You patched only the boot.img. Is this enough? Idk, since never received this A21 update.

Thank you!

update-script file is located under META-INF\com\google\android\ in the incremental OTA zip file. (To get the link of the OTA update file, I used https://github.com/Akilesh-T/OTALink )
Patching just the boot.img works perfectly for me. root access and no limitations.
So far I've used the described patching method like this:
1. Patch boot.img as described above (create A21 from A20 img file)
2. Patch created boot.img with Magisk
3. Uninstall Magisk (Restore boot Image)
4. Install incr. OTA
5. After OTA installation, boot to fastboot
6. Flash magisk patched boot.img
7. fastboot reboot
Done.

Thank you very much.
I try to figure how to do the step 4. Need offline install, because: 1) if try with TWRP end with bootloop, 2) the system updater wants to push me C.01 straight from A20. 3) for now want to keep the latest 11.3
Maybe using imgpatchtools can do update from my PC. Any idea?
Trying To Find A Full Software Download To Correctly Flash OnePlus Nord N20 5G (MetroPcs/TMobile)
Before starting this process, my phone had just updated to 11_A07. I got my bootloader code from OnePlus, Even though my phone won't be unlocked for another month or 2. Anyways, I used the code, unlocked the bootloader, and decided I'd try to root it, figured it wouldn't be that complicated.
Starting off, I Flashed an A06 Boot.img to it, as well as The "JulyModemsBackup.zip" acquired from someone else on here, and I ran into the same problem as others on here, I lost all Radios (Service, Wifi, Bluetooth, NFC), even lost Flashlight and other key things. After trying and trying I ended up running into a screen saying something like "the Boot/Recovery image have been destroyed, please repair" so after that speed bump, I found I had to flash another boot.img, and use the fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmeta vbmeta.img trick, it worked, and after trying to fix the radios, I ran into another speed bump of the phone going straight into fastboot and would never actually boot, so I had to keep trying more and more combinations of files and fastboot commands, until ultimately, I got passed that, and back to having no radio.
Now somewhere, I went in a better direction, because this last time I booted it, I had successfully gained back: Wifi, NFC, Flashlight, Bluetooth, and everything else EXCEPT Actual Cell Service. I was even able to use Magisk to patch the boot.img and root my device. So all I need now Is my Cell Service. I will try to find the exact combination of files I used to get this far, so others may be able to gain a little of the phone back as well, I know that it says my phone is on version A06, so it successfully downgraded, at least it thinks so.
But Im hoping someone has the solution, or may find out how to completely fix the cell service issue. It would be perfect to have a COMPLETE Software File with everything needed, rather than multiple files with just few in each, all of which may be for different versions.
So If anyone has a complete file, please post it, or if you have all the files and can make a complete file to share, that would be just as great. I will look and post all the files I've used to get this far as well
This is just showing What Version my phone landed on after all the flashing and everything.

How do I actually install it though? Is there a batch file or a step by step thing?

Also, I have this one too, but no where does it say how to actually flash to the device. I have been looking all day trying to figure that out but am having no luck. I would think there would be a Payload.bin, a .bat, or some kind of tip to tell you how to flash, but I can't figure it out

i would go ahead and add disable dm-verity and verification switches to vbmeta just to make sure that things have a chance of working with the rest of the partitions that might still be on a different patch.
might actuallly try to backup your originals from the inactive slot if you havent already flashed those

Yeah, besides editing just a few of the syntax errors, I made, I'd say that the only thing he'd need to double=check would be tthe names of the partitions and like you said, to add the disable vbmeta syntax line to his clusterfuck of a list I made..

download this driver, then with your phone turned off, plug it in while holding vol down or volume up or volume down and volume up.. forgot which combination and you;ll see in your device manager that it'll show up under your ports
