Hey guys, i hope someone can help me. This is my first post here and i am not very good in English, please be kind.

I wanted to get Eragon custom Rom buti think i managed to brick my U Pro while flashing.

First i did an OTA update to 20180227, then flashed TWRP, went in it, and installed Eragon v5 twice. Full wipe and it did not start, only in bootloader. So i switched to Partition a (set active). Here it also did not start.

Now i Think here is my mistake - i reflashed 20180423 stock and becourse of not starting Rom i wanted to go back to 20180227 stock and now U Pro only starts in bootloader mode.

It Shows now device state locked (red), Fastboot mode (red), Product_name - QC_Reference_Phone (i do not remember what was there before). And also i can go to EDL-mode with the Buttons.

Actually i flashed Eragon v4 via QFIL and U Pro goes only to bootloader. Fastboot is red, Device state is unlocked but also red.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lukas2702:
Yesterday same thing for me. My issue seems to be drivers in Win 10. Much time and many tests for QDloader 9008 srivers and I reinstalled 20180423 and then Eragon v4. I'm waiting for a stable twrp and most simple procedures.

I try v1,, to v4 did not work with me.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lukas2702:
Power off the phone, connect it to pc, hold vol+ and vol- and control in device manager if qdloader 9008 in com ports is active. Then install a stock rom with qfil.

Twrp ist 100% stable.

There is no issue and the way we have to install it is very easy.

You are on 20180423 rom or ersgon v4.

Okay so this.

Adb shell

Reboot bootloader.

Then do the Fastboot command for slot a

Fastboot --set_active=a

Now.just install twrp with

Fastboot flash boot_a twrp.img

And

Fastboot flash boot_b twrp.img

Done.

Now with vol- choose recovery mode and tap on power.

Now you are in twrp and you can flash v5

( Remember you have to copy the twrp.img to your adb folder)

Gesendet von meinem U_Pro mit Tapatalk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skeleton1911:
Read again please.

V4 is 20180423 build.

V1 was 20180227

In 20180227 No Fastboot commands works.

And the twrp image is embed into the boot.img.

You can't flash 20180423 boot.img to a system with ,20180227

But you can flash it with qfil

After that. Hold power and vol-, togehter.

When the led light blinks stop pressing power but hold vol- then you are in bootloader.

(Or disconnect the usb cable. Hold vol-, and plug it in again)

and then activate slot a

With

Fastboot --set_active=a

The other steps are written a post above.

My problem is that i cannot use adb since i cannot activate usb Debugging. The boot stops in bootloader mode, i can flash stock or custom with qfil but system never starts.

Hi [MENTION=4626501]skeleton1911[/MENTION],

I'm retrying to install Eragon v5 following your guide, but when I give command "Fastboot --set_active=a" it don't recognize.

Then I try with "Fastboot -set active=a", but it says <waiting for device> and I can't go over.

What's my error?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skeleton1911:
I don't know what's wrong for you.

Another method is

1. Install twrp in bootloader via Fastboot commands

2. Flash my rom

3. Reboot.

(It will go back to recovery)

4. Flash rom again.

Done.

If that don't work for any reason..

Then flash magisk v16 on top and reboot

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lukas2702:

Ok, for clarity:

2. Flash rom.

4. Flash rom again.

5. Flash magisk v16.zip

6. Reboot system.

That's right?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skeleton1911:
Remove step 4.

Just flash rom and reboot.

Then flash magisk

[MENTION=4626501]skeleton1911[/MENTION]

I just flashed V5 with TWRP and after the first flash i clicked on reboot.

After the reboot in the system settings is written i am now on V5.

So i guess i dont have to flash twice or should i still flash it the second time?

Also i didnt wipe it. I hope there will be no issues.

Thanks for your work again.

At wit's end...unable to flash TWRP

@Skelleton1911

Coming from stock 20180227, I did my prerequisites (installing drivers, adb, Flash-tool, developer options, etc) and followed the procedure coming from 20180227. Flashing TWRP using QFIL succeeded, but after reboot leaving me in a bootloop...

After rebooting to EDL, I needed a stock ROM, so I managed to install your unofficial 20180423 from https://xdaforums.com/android/development/rom-elephone-pro-stockrom-20180423-t3785979. After a successful install, to enable developer options again, I saw at 'about phone' it was actually 20180420. Don't know if that's a big thing?

Being on 20180423(ish), it would be theoretically possible to flash TWRP using fastboot. Doing so failed because "flashing was not allowed in a LOCKED state". So is unlocking the bootloader necessary

no matter what procedure

you follow?

Reluctantly, I tried to unlock the bootloader using fastboot. However, this failed again with error "fastboot flashing unlock ... failed (remote unknown command)" and the bootloader shows Device State - Locked. Note: in Windows 10 while in recovery mode, the device is seen as "Android bootloader interface" using Google driver 11.0.0.0

Next thing to do was flashing TWRP using QFIL on 20180423. Flash is successful, but there's no TWRP after using power +Vol down. A normal reboot states that my device is corrupt...again. Only thing to do is to reboot to EDL and install stock rom.

Obviously, I'm missing a crucial step or doing something wrong and I keep wondering why my bootloader won't unlock. Now I'm back 20180423(20) and need to Flash TWRP. What to do? Please advice...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skeleton1911:
You can disable the Google location in settings and also in the Google app.

If you do that. It will not be there again, after you made a reboot

The ROM is not the problem. I haven't got to that part. It's Installing TWRP itself that I'm having issues with. (see post). Even though QFill says it is successfully installed, it just won't go into recovery.

It's the locked bootloader or just I'm missing a step.....

Hey skeleton,

I got a question for installing your ROM: (I'm on the 20180227 Base)

I can't see the Qualcom Driver in the device manager. What could be the reason? I installed the driver package and also activated USB Debugging.

Thanks for your support!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lukas2702:
You'll see Qualcomm driver only when you reboot in edl mode.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] DragonFlye:
After extensive help from skeleton1911, I've finally got it working, Thanks!

I began flashing TWRP from stock 20180227 and things went bad (bootloop) and I needed to flash a stock rom again. So I flashed version 20180423 from EDL using QFIL.

That was a bad idea!! It appears that from 20180423 the bootloader can't be unlocked anymore, you'll have to be on 20180227. Flashing TWRP from fastboot on 20180423 doesn't work if the bootloader is locked

So if anyone's trying to to flash the Eragon ROM, be sure to be on 20180227 AND have that stock ROM ready if thing go wrong somehow.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tie___:
My phone shows "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot", what can I do? Tried to flash TWRP with QFIL on 20180227 Build..

Reboot to edl mode. Via ADB

Or power off phone. And hold all buttons . Until you see the driver in device manager

[Miscellaneous Android Development] skeleton1911:
Reflash stock ROM via qfil.

Soon I will release my V6 ROM.

And because so many users have problems with twrpand unlock. ( And of course a/b Partition)

I will change the install process again.

Going back to flashtools (qfil) only one flash and the ROM is installed and ready..... Soon

P.s

Of course it will also have unlocked bootloader and twrp in it

Ok, try this:

1. Uninstall and reinstall Qualcomm drivers (use Run as Admin).

2. Copy adb folder to C:\

3. Run prompt as admin

4. Retry "adb shell" and "reboot edl"

P.S.: After activating USB Debugging, also active Transfer File Mode...

You can also enter edl by connecting your phone (powered off) and then pressing all 3 buttons until it vibrates very shortly (and shows up in device manager)

Got it solved and is running great now on V5, just a last question that probably everyone can answer: how can i activate root access? Root checker says there is no root access, but there is systemless root integrated into the rom?

Cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skeleton1911:
In magisk Manager you can check root.

Anyway you will have root on v5 by default

Gesendet von meinem U_Pro mit Tapatalk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skeleton1911:
Eragon v6 is available . :)

related to many problems users had in the past with twrp and not booting phones ( due to twrp and root)

i now use a very easy install method.

ONLY USE QFIL FLASHTOOLS.

also i made a second raw.xml, so you can choose if you want to wipe or not, if you are on Eragon already you dont need to wipe

if you are coming from stock a wipe is recommend. Just choose the right raw.xml file ...

p.s NO TWRP . its under construction and wil be optional later

FLASHTOOLS INSTALL GUIDE AGAIN

You need to use QFIL flashtools

you will find ADB and QFIL Flashtools here in my uploaded zip

https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=...8333&parId=FFE0C7847A97776F!403&action=locate

(extract the zip to your desktop)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

use QFIL

what do you need :

QFIL Flashtools:

to use flashtools we need to install the flashtools driver first.

Drivers

1. we need to use the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008

in the downloaded zip is the Qualcommdriver , just install it .

this will install:

HS-USB QDLoader 9008 and Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E

for Flashing we only need the HS-USB QDLoader 9008.

[IMG="driver"]https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4472302&d=1523364371[/IMG]

set up QPST/QFIL Qualcomm Flashtool

-Start the.exe file in QPST.2.7.460 folder.

-accept the terms

-dont change the install path . (

-choose complete installation

-install

- you have to browse to the QFIL.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\QPST\bin , best would be to make shortcut for it on the desktop.

it will look like this:

[IMG="qfil1"]https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4472344&d=1523366247[/IMG]

4. How to use it:

We need to reboot to edl (emergency download mode) use flashtools.

remember to enable usb debugging in developer settings

you can easy reboot to EDL Mode via adb, use:

adb shell
reboot edl

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

prepare the Flashtool:

in Select Build Type:

choose: Flat Build

in Select Programmer:

browse to the extracted eragon folder and choose the "prog_emmc_ufs_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf" file

Load XML:

now choose the rawprogram_unsparse.xml and right after the patch0.xml

you can press the "download content"

wait a bit , at the end of the flashing procedure it will make an error, thats normal if the patch0.xml is empty.

Thank you Skeleton, you're spinning out new V.s @ unbelievably fast pace!

- great, just downloaded the files from Mega, I see the two options wipe/no wipe there, will install it later tonight.

on the side note, my Moto Z Play finally got the Oreo yesterday, but it doesn't look as good as the UI on Upro. I'm actually disappointed with it, It's hardly any improvement at all, in my opinion.

Wow, this Rom rocks! Fast and smooth. After installing most of my usual apps, the system storage according to Link2SD, still has 35% of free space!!! ELE rom with all that bloat junk leaves maybe 10% of sys. free. That makes big difference, the 6GB Ram with a slimmed down load sends the phone to go ballistic. Really great job Skeleton! Thank you!
