[Magisk] Cheako:
Depends on what you mean!!! There are instructions for unlocking the bootloader and they are required to flash the boot partition

fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX627J

, skipping that step results in a failed

fastboot flash boot

.

Are you asking or being returacle? I'm getting a specific error!!!! If you don't' know about this error, you should be clear as someone could interpret your comments as coming from an authoritative source.

Thanks for he reply. I'm sorry I made things difficult! This is about my Nubia Z20. I'm confused why flashing the *stock boot.img didn't restore, I get the same message. I wanted to know more about what the patched boot img does/is. I was curious if I needed to write my own boot.img that undoes some patching or bit twiddling done by the magisk patched boot.img. <inquisitively>I noticed the patched boot.img file being smaller, I assume that's because the original image is compressed?</inquisitively>

* There are 3 firmware images available from Nubia, the latest should match my system. I tried all three for completeness sake.

OT: Please note that Wine does not have any USB drivers in it's kernel, so running adb.exe or fastboot.exe and similar will just crash. I dread finding a pirate copy of Windows to download and then there is the **fight for just installing it, let alone getting it stable enough to run applications. USB passthrough is an option for most VMs, so this would be applicable for someone with a license to run Windows and I'd be happy to advice(for USB device) anyone in that situation.

** Note that a fresh install of FreeBSD is something like 30 seconds and Debian gives the possibility to run applications while it updates after only about 5 minutes(assuming you know to Alt-Fn to another Virtual Console). From what I remember a Windows install is 30min or more of just starting into a void, why anyone would sit through that or suggest that as an option is beyond my comprehension.
