[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N1 Owner:
I have tried unsuccessfully updating my Chinese N1 using fastboot using the files uploaded by wodz69 from this thread http://xdaforums.com/nokia-n1/general/n1-taiwan-release-t3083115/page1 .

That is the BOOT and RECOVERY files on drop box and SYSTEM file from mega . The N1 was on A5CNB19 Lollipop 5.1.1.

Prior to flashing with fast boot I tried rooting the device without success. I'm not sure, but think part of the reason I couldn't root was because the drivers hadn't installed correctly and the device didn't show up properly on my PC.

I ended up resolving the driver issue and was able to see the N1 as a drive on my PC. By that time I had given up on the root process, as I decided I didn't need it to flash the new images. Therefore I don't know if I could have rooted it or not.

On the device I had enabled "developer" mode and initially turned on USB debugging and unlocked the boot loader. I ended up turning off USB debugging for some reason prior to flashing the new images so I now don't have USB debugging on nor adb access.

Even though I had unlocked the boot loader on the N1, the device still showed it was locked when in fastboot mode. I used the fastboot oem unlock command to get it unlocked.

I was able to flash the RECOVERY and BOOT images but when it came to the SYSTEM image, which I left to last, I got this message "Invalid sparse file format at header magi" .

I have checked the MD5 sum of my copy of the SYSTEM image file and it matches the one in post #33 of http://xdaforums.com/nokia-n1/general/n1-taiwan-release-t3083115/page1 .

I cannot get the N1 to boot up past what I'm calling the fastboot mode screen.

When I press the Power button on the device I get a screen giving the choice of either starting using the POWER key or rejecting the image by pressing VOLUME.

If I choose the POWER button the device hangs on a screen with "Powered by android'.

Rejecting the image by pressing the VOLUME button brings up the "Powered by android screen' for a few seconds prior to showing a screen which I'm calling the fastboot screen.

On this screen there's a box at the top, which by using the volume keys, can be toggled between NORMAL BOOT, POWER OFF, RECOVERY MODE, RESTART BOOTLOADER . Below that is the green android symbol lying on its back with an open flap showing its insides (blue IC's). About half way down on the left of the screen is status information with "Fastboot mode" (in red) at the top.

If I choose RESTART BOOTLOADER or RECOVERY MODE the device boots back the fastboot screen. NORMAL BOOT brings up the screen asking to either start using the Power button or reject the image using the volume buttons. POWER OFF works OK.

Where do I go from here to either reflash the original ROM or another ROM, or get the new SYSTEM image working?

There doesn't appear to be any repositories for Nokia images, at least I cannot find any. Would I have any success trying another Lollipop ROM for an Intel tablet. At least this way I may be able to enable USB debuging and then be able to use ADB to install a new the files I have. Apparently there has been some success using ADB.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Guys,

Will unlocked bootloader not going to have OTA updates on ROM MIUI dev?, i just got permission yesterday and wanted to unlock, but if it makes my phone unable to receive OTA, i will not go thru with it, the reason i wanted to unlock is to enable root.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] usblaidas:
Hey.

I have unlocked my phone a few weeks ago.

On dev ROM, I am still able to receive OTA updates, but I noticed that TWRP is not there anymore.

For root access, you don't even need to unlock phone. Look up guides here or on miui forums on how to achieve that. You can usually download pre-rooted Roms or root it by literally running one apk.

Good luck!
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] shubhkool:
u wll get update. u can downlod them but they wll ny apply bcz twrp wll there. so u can simply use a trick u can flash stock recovery by any method like flasify( dont remember app name correctly) then can update and after it flash custom recovery again.

sorry for my bad English
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] spiderclan:
how about if i don't use/install twrp at all, i just need to enable root on dev rom, i should get update just fine right?
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] usblaidas:
You are correct :)

No need for TWRP if you simply want to use rooted dev ROM.

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
what can i do
[P8lite Original Android Development] XePeleato:
Alright, I don't really want to do this, since the rom is not finished yet but I need help and I thought that releasing it would attract developers, so here it is, the first rom for our P8 Lite (ALE-L21)

Current Status: Developer Preview

The rom is at an early development stage, since I don't have enough time to figure out how to make RIL work.

Just flash the rom if you know what you are doing, it isn't stable or functional, it's just a preview, and a waste of time if you don't know how to do things properly.

What works:

Audio

Camera

Wifi

Most apps

Some other things

What DOESN'T work:

NFC

Bluetooth (It used to work, however it's not my priority)

RIL (3G , 2G, GPRS...)

GPS (I haven't tested it but I guess it isn't working)

Playing some kind of media files

How to install it:

Wipe data/cache (factory reset) after installation

Flash boot and system.img via fastboot.

Download

Remember to backup everything before flashing, I am not responsible of Data loss, phone bricking, or whatever.

Device Source: https://github.com/XePeleato/android_device_huawei_p8lite_alel21

Kernel source: https://github.com/XePeleato/android_ALE-L21_kernel

We need some help over there, so if you want to help and are skilled in Java, drop a message.

I also want to thank everyone who helped me on Github.

I guess that's it, if anyone could move this to the development section it would be really nice.

Have a nice day!

any screenshots maybe? im happy that someone is working on rom for this phone :D
[P8lite Original Android Development] pickandrew:
Hello...

This ROM is also compatible with model ALE-L02 and L23?

Thank y!

Hello [MENTION=7354786]XePeleato[/MENTION] that compilation must be to install?

[P8lite Original Android Development] empy16:
Awesome, I've been following your development on GitHub. Very happy with your progress!

Keep it going, as soon as you get RIL working, I'll get it on my phone. Can't stand this EMUI thing.

Either way, thank you for your great work and best of luck!
[P8lite Original Android Development] Xpredator 20:
I do not know exactly how I installed . Can you explain in detail ?
[P8lite Original Android Development] lukezaa:
Did you see this HiKey board? (Google for it I still can't post links to external pages :\ ) There is full documentation about Kirin 620 and even a Android port with USB OTG support (of course source is open). May be you try to enable USB OTG?
[P8lite Original Android Development] wilburyh:
Install ROM

For install:

1. You must be unlocked bootloader

2. Enable ADB debugging in advanced options (tapping serveral times on about phone > compilation and you'll get that option in settings) and connect the phone to the PC

3. Download android studio SDK and then go to C:\Users\Yourusersname\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools

4. Open a cmd terminal (shift + right click)

5. Download the TWRP recovery 3.0 that XePeleato made from his github (sorry I can't post links yet)

6. Now in cmd write: adb reboot bootloader and the adb drivers will be installed in your PC (if not, download ADB Driver Install)

7. Place the recovery.img from the recovery zip to the folder where you opened the terminal (platform-tools)

8. Now write in cmd: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

9. Write in cmd: fastboot reboot recovery

10. DO A COMPLETE BACKUP (that's important)

11. Now download the ROM and place the system.img and the boot.img of the .zip in the same folder as before.

12. Write in cmd: fastboot flash boot boot.img

13. Write in cmd: fastboot flash system system.img

14. Write in cmd: fastboot reboot recovery

15. Now in recovery select wipe > advanced wipe and select data and cache

16. Install Gapps for 5.1.1 if you want.

That's it, hope it works.

[P8lite Original Android Development] XePeleato:
Since I needed 10 posts to post it there.

Is there any other rom ? I'd love to know what rom is that, maybe RIL is fixed there.
[P8lite Original Android Development] dominj97:
but these 2 roms are modified emui. They aren't based on pure AOSP :)

thats true :) didnt realize diferences, I just saw "rom" not aosp :D
[P8lite Original Android Development] lozohcum:
[MENTION=7354786]XePeleato[/MENTION] I guess RIL can be fixed by some dirty hacks on binaries.

I worked before on Xperia devices (CMs, AOSPs, ports) but maybe I can help a bit.
[P8lite Original Android Development] mrjakah:
Hi all,

I have this device since saturday and i noticed that there is a sririous lack of aosp roms.

Since i'm not very far with my Java skills i wanted to know if there are peoople willing to join up and develope a custom ROM flashable tru twrp.

Those are my ideas, anybody in ?

Greetings,

Justin.
[P8lite Original Android Development] datchutien03:
Its kernel can oc ?
[P8lite Original Android Development] SuperProHacker:
If there is no way to get RIL anymore i will sell this phone
[P8lite Original Android Development] XePeleato:
Well, there's nothing I can do about it, the stock kernel works, but I can't tell you if this project is ever going to work as I intended.

Oh I thought they wrote P8 youth edition , cant ready chinise -.- . I will try to beg at Huawe in my country. The english support is total crap.

[P8lite Original Android Development] XePeleato:
Thanks but that's for Lollipop (already on my Github) and the Hikey board doesn't have as much as common with the P8 Lite as people think, however I really appreciate the help!

[P8lite Original Android Development] Szabi01:
I can't wait to use the rom?
[P8lite Original Android Development] XePeleato:
A quick update, We have created a github organization, currently it's formed by [MENTION=4883214]haky 86[/MENTION] [MENTION=1900297]olrak[/MENTION] and Me, with the goal of getting a functional rom. You can check it out here: https://github.com/P8LiteDev

Everyone is more than welcome to push PRs and contribute, We have a minimal ROM working, now We are adding more services, little by little, I'll keep you updated on this thread until We release the first version.
[P8lite Original Android Development] snapdesign:
great to hear that... what does it mean minimal ROM? is calling working? thanks!
[P8lite Original Android Development] Szabi01:
Maybe it boots?O.o
[P8lite Original Android Development] XePeleato:
Yes, that's it, however it's far from finished.
[P8lite Original Android Development] Szabi01:
Thank you for creating a custom rom!!:D
[P8lite Original Android Development] MarcoPLs:
im not sure if its for ale-l21 but it would be awesome if it is

nevermind its for ale-l04 which is qualcomm one :crying:
[P8lite Original Android Development] XePeleato:
Thanks for trying, but that kernel is from the 5.1 version, I already have it, it isn't a ROM, just the kernel.
[P8lite Original Android Development] FelipeBR28:
When I download the file and try to open, it says it's corrupt... bad download or file? Thanks

[P8lite Original Android Development] XePeleato:
I haven't tried it, I guess it isn't but it won't be hard to adapt it. I have lost the progress since I forgot to save the device tree, so if I want to keep working on it, I'll have to rebuild it. Now I am more focused in other projects, Lollipop is kind of old.
[P8lite Original Android Development] Yoshikage_Kira:

it's pure AOSP. and you should not flash it, coz it's not stable yet.
[P8lite Original Android Development] XePeleato:
I don't really understand what are you trying to achieve. I posted the source on github and there are some other people working on CM and stuff like [MENTION=4883214]haky 86[/MENTION] .

By the way, I had to code no java at all to get the rom working (WIP).
[P8lite Original Android Development] mrjakah:
What i wanted to archieve is getting a small group of people together to get a highly custimizable ROM in development.

In my opinion there are allot of custom roms, some good some bad cuz of The lack on proper guidance in what u can customize.

For example, allot of mods that are offered tru The xposed framework can izily be intergrated in a ROM.

I also like The htc sense software and im already installing it on my huawei.

Basicly a ROM that u can adjust to what works best for u. From launcher to sound mods camera mods.

If u want the xperia launcher u van select that or if u prefer The one from Samsung then that one.

Get my point?
[P8lite Original Android Development] XePeleato:
Sure, the problem is finding that group of people, I guess.

Good luck on that project!
[P8lite Original Android Development] wolfensg:
Thumbs up [MENTION=7354786]XePeleato[/MENTION] ! I would be happy to do some testing but unfortunately I use my phone as both my personal and office phone and simply cannot do any testing without being able to be reached by the phone - so this means, once RIL would be working I'd be happy to participate in the tests. Anyway - I keep the fingers crossed! Good luck Obi-Wan you're our only hope... and May The Force Be With You! :)

Hi Friend...

Today when I returned to EMUI and the rom stock I had a awesome gift!! Don't read the SIm Card, I lost the RIL, [MENTION=7354786]XePeleato[/MENTION] you have any idea to solve it?

Thanks, good job with AOSP!! :D
[P8lite Original Android Development] XePeleato:
So, first you flashed my rom, then you flashed emui and when you did that, RIL stopped working? I have flashed back and forth more than a hundred times (really) and nothing happened. Could you check at 'About the phone' the baseband version? What partitions did you flash?

Hi! I tried to flash system.img using fastboot, but it's fails.

I also tried to flash it using TWRP and flashable zip (created by myself), but no success too.

What is wrong?
[P8lite Original Android Development] XePeleato:
What is exactly failing? Is your bootloader unlocked?
[P8lite Original Android Development] dominj97:
He has TWRP so it has to be unlocked.
[P8lite Original Android Development] fitsuli:
Of course it's unlocked.

O, sorry, I forgot to say - my device is Honor 4C (you may know that it have the same chipset, so I decided to try to flash this AOSP).
[P8lite Original Android Development] dominj97:
It won't work on honor 4c. It's only fo p8lite. Remember about drivers and kernel :)

But - why?

Hardware is the same...

Explain me, please.
[P8lite Original Android Development] wolfensg:
No. The chipset is the same but other hardware stuff is different.

It is the same as with PC's - you should not expect that if you have the same chipset on your motherboard as it is on another one - all other devices connected to it will work properly as they would still require their dedicated drivers/kernel modules/etc/blahblahblah...
[P8lite Original Android Development] fitsuli:
Thanks!

But why the system.img even don't flashing?

At first I thought that it can be a problem of lack of memory (16GB vs. 8GB), but system partition much more than ~700 mb (system.img).

I think that it must flash, at least. It may not work/bootloop/etc, but it will, at least, flashed and trying to boot.
[P8lite Original Android Development] XePeleato:
I never had that error, nor anybody who downloaded the rom, I wouldn't waste more time trying, since if you manage to flash it, it won't boot.
