Question Cannot boot into brom mode - OnePlus Nord 2 5G

Hello,
I got a used OnePlus Nord 2 5G and tried to get root and other things working, but sadly flashed a wrong boot.img in the process.
I already had it in the brom mode sometime earlier, but as i updated it to oos12, it seems that the brom mode was disabled.
I cant get into fastboot because of verification fails and when trying to boot into brom mode the only message from mtk-client is handshake failed.
So im searching for some new ideas regarding my problem (if there are any)?
BR

Which oos have?

OxygenOS 12 C.05 was the last i installed

I understand that you're facing difficulties with your OnePlus Nord 2 5G after flashing the wrong boot.img and encountering verification failures when trying to access fastboot mode. It seems that the brom mode is also not working, with a handshake failure message from the mtk-client.
In situations like these, it's important to proceed with caution as incorrect flashing or modifications can potentially lead to device issues. Here are a few suggestions to consider:
1. Contact OnePlus Support: Reach out to OnePlus customer support for guidance on recovering your device. They have expertise in dealing with specific device-related issues and can provide you with accurate instructions or direct you to an authorized service center if needed.
2. Seek assistance from XDA Developers Forum: The XDA Developers Forum is a community of enthusiasts and experts who often provide solutions and guidance for Android devices. You can search for threads related to your device model or post a new thread describing your issue to seek advice from the community members who have experience with similar situations.
3. Explore device-specific forums or communities: Look for forums or online communities that specifically focus on OnePlus devices or your OnePlus Nord 2 model. These platforms can be valuable resources for finding solutions, tutorials, or troubleshooting steps shared by users who have encountered similar issues.
4. Consider professional assistance: If you're unable to resolve the issue on your own or with community support, it might be worth considering professional assistance from a reputable mobile repair service or an authorized service center. They can examine your device, diagnose the problem accurately, and suggest appropriate solutions.
Remember to exercise caution and be aware that attempting further modifications or flashing without proper knowledge and understanding may lead to irreversible damage. It's always recommended to follow official instructions or seek assistance from reliable sources when modifying or troubleshooting your device.

I was successfully able to reset frp in Preloader mode for OnePlus Nord 2 5G
So we can try to crash it to BROM mode using Preloader mode.

Unlock tool will automatically crash the preloader to Brom mode given that your phone doesn't have the latest security patch

Reinstall/Install MM/N on WiFi/LTE YOGA BOOK

This is the stock Rom of N & M for Yoga Book LTE & WIFI for the needers
if any dev want to help me developing a dual boot for Yoga Book, just PM me or join Telegram Group for Yoga Book devs and users:
MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED
Prees the Thanks button if that helps you​
How to install it:
Be careful, these steps will erase all your data on tablet and will downgrade rom (stock marshmallow)
First of all: read and understand all of the instructions.
1. Download the stock ROM
https://cloud.kolyandex.su/index.php/s/4WDt6ghOzHAyP4s (Nougat WiFi version)
https://easy-firmware.com/home/browse/category/id/19521/ (Marshmallo LTE version)
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634799507 (Marshmallo WiFi version)
2. Extract it to some folder
3. Download Intel Platform Tool Lite from here: https://01.org/android-ia/downloads/intel-platform-flash-tool-lite
4. Install Intel Platform Tool Lite
4. Boot into fastboot mode
5. Run Intel Platform Tool Lite
6. Make sure your tablet is recognized by the tool (otherwise you need to enable USB-debug in Developer settings)
7. Select "flash_update_from_eng.json" from folder in (2)
8. Push "start to flash"
9. Wait... (You should check tablet's screen in order to lock/unlock bootloader (it should be locked after flash in order to install OTA updates))
10. Reboot tablet
11. Your keyboard might not work: that is normal (just use on-screen keyboard for now)
12. After initial setup: open Contacts app, create new one (if there are no contacts yet), tap search and enter ####6020#
13. Choose your region
14. Reboot
15. Setup again (now halo should work)
16. Go into settings -> about -> updates and update till the last version (may take several hours)
17. Say thanks for alexjustes for his Amazing Steps
Thank you so much for posting this!
Have you tried flashing this through @danjac's TWRP build? I know trying to restore any nandroid backup made after the OTA upgrade to Nougat results in a boot loop.

I'm 99% sure this isn't flashable in custom recovery, at least without some modification and repackaging. It's a package designed for Intel Phone Flash Tools.
Still a huge asset, though, so thanks again!

Same, it can only flashed through fastboot mode
I got myself into quite the pickle today. I've been considering selling my Yogabook to switch to a Chromebook 2-in-1. I wanted to get the device back to as full vanilla as possible. I "thought" the first step was to lock the bootloader again and then do a full factory reset, apparently not... After booting back up from locking the bootloader I kept getting an Intel "bootloader error code 01" and Android would not start. It would take me to fastboot mode on it's own but I was unable to use the power button to make a selection and the device would just power off after 5 minutes. Thankfully from there or fore powering off I could hold Volume up on startup and get to fastboot manually or recovery. It being in a locked state now though I couldn't do much of anything else, no flashing anything other than loader, no format, no erase, and TWRP was not able to be booted.
Anyway I finally read a post about DNX mode and how to get to it, but nothing on how to really use it or any decent information imho. After finally finding some users on another part of the forum discussing a DNX flashing tool made for their devices HTC I went searching for a tool for the Lenovo. Lenovo has nothing for this (shame on you Lenovo!) but Intel does have it and it can be used with the recovery image posted above in this thread (and I assume all the others running around). And here is the URL for the tool
https://01.org/android-ia/downloads/intel-platform-flash-tool-lite
You just have to load a valid JSON file containing the proper config information for the ROM you are flashing iwithin the Intel tool. For this particular version of the ROM I did have to modify the "flash_recover_dnx.json" file to remove this section
Code:
{
"duration" : 5000,
"restrict" : null,
"tool" : "sleep"
},
Otherwise the flash tool would not load it due to the a bad tool from this JSON config named "tool". No other changes to the settings of the Intel flashing tool were needed.
Just click "Start to Flash" and once it was done all was well. Took a little over five minutes, it unlocked, flashed, and locked the device again itself.

No more Intel error stating the device isn't secure every reboot. I did lose all my data that was on it doing this but I wasn't worried about that going into it.
After initial setup in Android I did have to do the trick noted here to get the Halo keyboard working again which then required initial setup once more.
Hope this helps others.
@MarkAllen, thank you for your valuable information. This will help people unbrick their devices.

Please help to flash my yoga book.
Got these with the stock .json file as described above:

06/18/18 12:00:01.188 ERROR : Cannot create command with tool "sleep"
06/18/18 12:00:01.188 ERROR : Tool sleep not found or invalid tool configuration
Opened that file in notepad and deleted the sleep section - started flashing.
The usb drivers are definitely required, I lost the connection because they weren't loaded. I installed them and refreshed device manager and she started receiving the flash.
Used Win7 to flash also, the intel page says its not supported.
Flash success and locked bootloader after entering the country code - thanks very much all!

Hello,
i have the same thing like you. But im not a developer. Do you have any update about links to ROM or something? Many thanks.
Don't know if anyone still cares or is tinkering around with this, but I came into possession of a touchscreen display board with the AD-Z05 SoC ARM board.
For everyone's info, the AD-Z05 is made by SunChip and designed to be used by OEMs for various things. If you've ever tried hunting down info about it like I did, you'll find very little documentation about it besides this board overview:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note the "Update" button, located next to the power jack. This is our key to getting into the recovery environment. I haven't found a consistent method for getting it to work, but what seems to work most of the time is holding down the update button, connecting the power source, pressing the Power On/Off button, then waiting until the default android recovery screen is up (should only take about 10 seconds tops.)
From this point, I'm stumped on what to do. ADB reports that the device is in recovery mode, I can get a basic shell and browse the ROM, even finding some factory test binaries, but that's about it. This wiki deals with the Rockchip CPUs and has some useful utilites, but the RkDevTool reports that my CPU doesn't match whatever ID it's expecting. Trying to reboot into fastboot or this "maskrom" mode freezes the utility. I've tried reaching out to the manufacturer to see if they have any documentation, I'll post back if I find anything.
Edit: Also see the official Rockchip wiki.

www.oschina.net
Also, maybe this information about maskrom mode from https://wiki.t-firefly.com/en/Firefly-RK3288/upgrade_table.html
Focus on: In Windows, When Linux upgrade to the Android5.1, how to enter Maskrom Mode:
Steps are as follows:
In AndroidTool_v2.58, click “Erase Flash”, this step is erase IDB, it can’t erase flash, so it will appear “erase flash failed”;
Reboot, in AndroidTool_v2.35, click “Erase Flash”, when it finish, the board will enter Maskrom Mode;
Click “Upgrade” to start burn the Android5.1 firmware.
Sorry if this is not helpful at all. Please keep us updated.
Thank you for the info, @jimlarson77! Did you happen to see any steps for backing up the flash before erasing?
I did hear back from SunChip:
Sunchip is one of Apple's provider. We are professional manufacturer and designer of LCD digital signage which established in 2012,we have more than 80 engineers focus on Android mainboard's software and hardware R & D, commercial media player/box(support Android and Linux OS), also provide SKD parts for LCD digital signage.

I did not see any steps for backing up the flash before erasing. I attempted to flash firefly firmware(through the complete steps listed in that last link I sent about Maskrom, and everything went perfectly until the firmware was flashed. Now the board I tried it on won't power on(I'm aware now that the firmware was not the correct one).
If you would like to run some tests with a functional or non-functional board, I could let you play around with a few that I have.
Thank you for the offer @jimlarson77. My curiosity is only from an amerature hobbyist perspective; I'm curious if I can get my digital sign working and flashed, but otherwise I will just try to part it out.

The Redmi 6a comes with Android 8.1.0 right out of the box. What is the likelihood of it getting an official LineageOS 15.1 build via a GSI without much trouble? In theory, treble should allow this to be relatively straightforward, but I am yet to see much of this since it is such a new concept.

Redmi 6A is not working after flashing TWRP
I've been trying to flash global version rom 10.2.2.0 OCBMIXM of Redmi 6A from TWRP, therefore I tried flashing TWRP 3.2.3 first. After it's done, I booted to TWRP and tried to flash the rom and Magisk app. TWRP asked password for decrypting data but I selected No since there isn't any password. Then the error Unable to mount storage occurred and I could not flash anything. I tried some ways I found and all of them failed to finish with following errors: Factory reset (Unable to mount storage), Repair File System (Unable to repair Data (ERROR:8)), Change File System (Unable to mount storage). Now I'm unable to reboot to system anymore (always boot to TWRP). What should I do now?

Hello

[GUIDE] How to unlock the bootloader of Nokia 4.2

DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!

UPDATE: I've updated the new tool for unlocking the phone without understanding how to utilize such long commands.
You can watch the demonstration here: https://youtu.be/whrFsn8h7A4

So after I got a Nokia 4.2 prototype by opportunity, I just found the theory of bootloader unlocking.
Tricking development options for allowing "OEM unlocking" no longer works on latest security update.
What you need to have:
- a Nokia 4.2 unit that you finished back cover and upper plastic shell removal
- tweezers, and probably a standard philips screwdriver
- QPST (use at least 2.7.474) or any other app that could access the EDL, and Qualcomm USB port drivers are installed
- Latest Google Platform Tools
- Full backup of your userdata
Step 1: Trigger the phone to EDL mode, then change the driver to "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008"
Please take a look at the attachment below, about the location you need to use tweezers.
For Windows users:
If the driver is already indicated as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008", get to Step 2.
If the driver is indicated as either "QHSUSB__BULK" (For users who have installed Windows Device Recovery Tool before) or "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9008", you must change the driver to "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008".
After driver changed, you need to disconnect the phone, disconnect and reconnect the battery ribbon cable, then trigger the phone to EDL again.
I assume the COM port number is 8 (COM8).

Step 2: Write config partition
As we already know, config partition is also the frp partition.
You need to create a config partition image that has "OEM Unlocking" function enabled, which need to alter the last byte, then change the overall checksum to make the config file valid.
For your convenience, I've created one.
Now download and extract the attachment below.
Use QFIL included in QPST to load the firehose file. Choose "Flat Build" and choose the "prog_emmc_firehose_8937_ddr.mbn" you extracted from the attachment.
Choose "Tools" - "Partition Manager", then wait for the partition list appear.
As "Load Image" seems not reliable, we have to use command to write it manually.
For 64-bit Windows users, the command is:
Code:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\QPST\bin\fh_loader.exe" --port=\\.\COM8 --search_path=D:\path\to\where\you\extracted\N32_N42_unlock --sendimage=config.img --start_sector=16583680 --lun=0 --noprompt --showpercentagecomplete --zlpawarehost=1 --memoryname=emmc
If you use 32-bit Windows, you need to remove the " (x86)" (within space, without quotes) in the command above.
Step 3: Trigger the phone back to fastboot mode
Now hold the Volume down key, keep the phone connected, close the partition manager, then your phone will exit EDL mode and enter Fastboot mode directly.
Now check the unlock ability:
Code:
fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability
Expected output:
Code:
get_unlock_ability: 1
Step 4: Unlock the bootloader!
And you can unlock the bootloader with familiar commands.
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Confirm unlock on the phone, then keep the volume down key pressed while the phone is erasing userdata.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Your phone will boot to fastboot mode again, and then:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
Confirm unlock on the phone again.
All done, that's how the bootloader is unlocked. You can reassemble the phone.
But strange enough, you can't see any unlock warning.
I will release boot image dumping guide and root guide very soon.
Special thanks:
Wingtech for leaking prototype units
why must Nokia insist on locking their devices down so hard ??
great discovery, will definitely be useful once TWRP is released. just curious, but SafetyNet is tripped with this, right?
Great!
Damn Nokia
I don't even own this phone but I kinda want to weigh in, are we seriously at this point? No honestly, Android as a whole was basically were dev focused iOS is locked down to hell and back here's freedom. Google has the Nexus line made for developers companies embraced it I remember there being multiple Google play editions of phones that ran stock Android. I'm happy we as a community can keep this alive but damn are companies trying to make it difficult to do something I want to do to a device I paid for and own. Samsung you can't root (save for sampwn and samfail) LG locked down bootloaders and gimped fastboot on some models (fastboot seriously?) Nokia now requiring you to take apart the freaking phone to achieve this, I'm half asleep and can't think of any other major brands at the moment. It's a joke. (Above root methods were mainly for US variants and TMobile variants of LG) something has to change I know it won't and I understand the reasoning behind it security and such but still. Sorry for the rant congrats OP on what you did I consider it magic but it's more you accomplished something I could only wish I could do.
Will it be possible to do without disassembly? Just in theory, not now

Unwise to say no with absolute certainly, but doubtful

I think it will be possible.
There's a hidden command in aboot "fastboot reboot-emergency" but unusable, unless some sort of authentication is done or bootloader unlocked.
I still don't know how the authentication is done yet, but it's definitely not something that average developers can access to.
That's why disassembly is required for now.
Very interesting breakthrough. Great work
I'm facing the same bootloader unlock in my infinix hot s 3. I believe I can use your procedure to unlock my device. And if necessary how to make changes to the config file? I will be expecting your reply soon. Thanks
Is it possible to explain how the config.img file is altered ? It might not be difficult to alter the last byte , but what does it mean to Change the overall checksum ? I have been trying to do something similar for a while , it would be great if you answered here or via PM , thank you

Fill first 32 bytes with 0x00, then calculate SHA256 checksum and paste the new checksum as hex value at the first 32 bytes.

Thank you for taking the time to explain, great help and great effort, the last byte should be altered to 1 ? Or 0 ?

We have full OTA zip of it.
You can use payload dumper + img2simg to convert it to fastboot images. If recovery mode working (including unofficial TWRP), you can also reboot your phone to recovery mode to sideload it.
PAN-141B-0-00WW-B03-update.zip
I was able to use "OEM Unlocking" from developer options and after starting at step 3, to obtain a full unlock. After I was also able to fully root my phone using the normal guide. I am running the latest security update (October 5 2019). No idea why this worked for me...
Hello,
I've got the Nokia 3.2 16gb variant. I can get it into edl mode but it seems to be in Sahara mode. How can I put it into firehose mode? Because I can't load anything using qfil.
Any help?

Question Mi11i hard bricked

I tried to install Project Elixir and my phone is hard bricked now... Brick is result of attempting to boot system on TWRP, slot A. Device is in EDL state I guess, because when I connect it by USB, it shows in device manager. I downloaded necessary driver and MiFlash, but I receive information that it can't connect to device: "write time out, maybe device was disconnected". I also removed back cover to find some test spots, but I can't find them. Is it something I can do?
Are you sure you use the right cable? There are USB cables only suitable for charging not for data communication.

I remember that I used this cable to transfer .zip OS file to phone, so transferring was working under TWRP earlier.

Thanks. Tbh I'm not sure, if it's even in EDL mode, because I noticed that QPST shows infinitely loading green bar in "State" column. Phone reacts to + and power buttons, because when I press it, MiFlash and QPST don't even recognize it properly. When I press - and power buttons, device is recognized in MiFlash. In QPST there is also some info about it.
