thanks for that, any kind of warning in title or OP is appreciated. im not expecting to read nothing, i just expect important info to be at the start of the thread. again, thanks for the understanding and warning people.

there are plenty of devices that have methods to install twrp, cwm and root with locked bootloader. so your statement is simply not factual. just do a quick search on xda. and if the thread for a device that has no way to unlock bootloader doesnt indicate that its for unlock bootloader devices only there is nothing else to think but that OP author has found a way to do it without unlocking the bootloader. and what are those unnoficial ways, some kind of tutorial on forums would be appreciated? mind you, giving money and imei to some shady **** to unlock device i own and payed for is not a way to unlock bootloader.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
Yes there are, but not when it comes to our nokia 8, so its pointless to talk about. We all know it requires unlocked BL to flash kernel images, and yes, the only way currently is to pay a guy to do it, its not exactly ideal, but that option is there and worked. If its not good enough then dont complain and wait for hmd to release BL unlock, but stop trying to blame the OP that's actually working hard to get things to us. Its not a right to get these things, devs do it out of love, so show some respect perhaps and stop posting useless things.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] grimyhr:
you do not know that and cant claim such nonsense, there are always undiscovered exploits in any software. as long as thread looks like its for n8s in general and not just a tiny subset of n8s it leaves too much room for confusion and wasting time going trough it and arguing with people about it

No Wifi

Dear bidhata,

I followed the instructions

unfortunately that broke wifi on my phone (8.1 with june security update)

can you help me with a fix for that?

thanks
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] bidhata:
Download the actual boot image from the partition zip, and flash it. It will bring back the device to previous condition.

[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] bidhata:
From recovery, goto bootloader mode, connect to your computer. Then Download boot.img from following URL

https://transfer.sh/14Z0Na/boot.img

Then from ur PC type

fastboot flash boot_a boot.img

fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

fastboot reboot

Then again go to recovery and try following

1) Full recharge your phone.

2) Get a MicroSD card ( 8 or 16 GB )

3) Download this - https://mega.nz/#!mRZHDaJI!3KrT2F0ZE0i3STYke4n36nHL3A6yAKQux5EvPWVGI_4

4) Copy it to SDCARD from your PC.

5) Put the SD card in ur mobile.

6) Go to Dead Android "no command screen" , and press power + volume up few times. Recovery window will open.

7) Select update, from SDCARD - start flashing by pressing power button.

Is it stock boot.img? Which version is it? I`ve lost wi-fi too and trying to make it work back. TY

Encryption key for link you gave to Mega, please?
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] rumblror:
It also broke my wifi, but I didn't consider beforehand that I'm on the July security patch. I thought it would be wise to ask before trying to flash the boot images you've provided for others who had their wifi broken by flashing TWRP - will I have problems if I flash the boot images from June, and where can I find the stock boot images for July?

Also, the only reason I'm flashing TWRP is to get Magisk. I don't quite understand the role that TWRP plays in making it work, since you never need to boot into recovery in your guide in this thread https://xdaforums.com/nokia-8/development/pre-rooted-boot-image-nokia-nb1-v4-88b-t3798063 If I'm able to fix my wifi by flashing stock recovery, can I still do this procedure to get root access without flashing TWRP?

Thanks so much for the work you do as a dev :)

[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] rumblror:
Update: For anyone having a similar problem, here's how I fixed it. I tried booting from the boot image Bidhata provided, and it booted correctly sans wifi. Then I flashed it to both boot_a and boot_b. TWRP was gone, and I still didn't have wifi. Then I flashed the June firmware via adb sideload. This rolled back my Kernel version to 4.4.78-perf+ 17/05/18 20:22:08 and my security patch level to 01/05/18. I'm not sure why it isn't 4.88B and the June security level, but maybe the kernel and the security patches are dated differently from the firmware? Sorry I'm kind of a noob. With my phone running this version, I followed the instructions at the top of the thread to get TWRP working, and then I got root using Magisk. Still have wifi:good:

[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] bidhata:
This time not only root, u are gonna get custom kernel with few CPU governor and IO Scheduler with fully working TWRP with decryption support. So, you can take nanodroid backup or can flash anything - even custom ROM :)

Hi every one! Any suggestions or atleast possibility to make custom kernel with TWRP recovery on .309 firmware (Android 7.1.1)? I have downgraded from Oreo to Nougat and need the custom recovery. Is it reachable?
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
Read above mate, bidhata is working on a custom kernel :)
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] kosmatyj:
Custom kernel for what? For Oreo, right? I loking for custom recovery for Nougat. Ok, will wait, may be he will build the same for older firmware...
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
No such custom kernels even exist for the nokia 8 yet, because of BL unlock situation, little users are actually unlocked. Why nougat though? Upgrade to oreo mate :) bidhata has already done magic in giving us root on oreo and almost a fully functional twrp on it, i highly doubt any devs are going to support nougat with android P around the corner

Here is TWRP - almost fully working including decryption as well. So you can take nanodroid backup or flash new ROM. Compiled by a friend named Dhruv, from India.

https://mega.nz/#!nRgVWKqB!fWx4zO1f19Shs_I8Thkw4ycsZMMMmSYP24cK0MHIBlM

All option working except SLOT changing.

One caution :

Don't change slot using TWRP. It will Brick your device - which is yet to resolve. And my Nokia 8 is gone now :( may be this is my last post at Nokia.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ironman38102:

Nothing can be done?

Sorry man.. It hurts!!!

I have bricked my device too a bit n i dnt know how. My phone wont boot up if i set active boot to boot_b and it wasnt like dat before and now when i flash Magisk modules, it detects boot_a whereas before it was boot_b and some apps wont work on my phone again, dey just fc, like yahoomail, twitter, mynotes and many more.

How can one check active boot using terminal emulator or adb?
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] hermanlee:
I am trying to read my way into all of this, but it's pretty difficult to understand all at once.

So my question is: even if TWRP works, one can flash custom roms, but what kind of roms or there of interest? The only one I think I am interested in, is LineageOS, and I don't think this will be available soon?

Why does one want a rooted Nokia 8? I mean, what are the things people want to do as soon as their device is rooted?

Sorry for such n00b questions, but I find it rather difficult to get aboard before I can even contribute myself.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
Wow! Thanks so much, do we flash boot_a partition like last time? Also, is it still on 4.88B or 4.88C? Thanks
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] bidhata:
Yes, do same like previous installation process. It is based on source code released by Nokia. You will enjoy this kernel for sure - having extra CPU Governor and IO schedulers as well so you can customized CPU usages.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
Thanks! ive flashed boot and boot_a and all went well, i re-rooted, however how does one boot into the twrp? because booting into recovery just brings the usual "no command" and normal recovery with the buttons. Thanks!

[EDIT] [Edit] it seems i had to use boot_b instead of boot_a because mine was using the b partition, now twrp boots and everything works! thanks
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] sumitinhome:
do we have any custom rom yet? :crying:
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] bidhata:

Could have done it with other dev. But my NB1 is dead now :( .
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ironman38102:
FYI, Qualcomm devices have EDL mode that could be used to get bricked devices back to normal. See if that helps, perhaps you need a EDL cable to bring it back alive.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] bidhata:
By default EDL is disabled in NB1 kernel. Though, new one I shared - it is already enabled on that. But - for that phone needs to start and in my case, bootloader seems got corrupted. So, my system ( on multiple OS ) not detecting it. Let's wait for other devs. In between - bought a LG G6 ( h872 ), will concentrate on that for now :)

There is no recovery partition in NB1 . Only boot. So, TWRP ( recovery ) is inbuilt in kernel.

Flash with Magisk beta channel. Wifi should not be broken though - as now Wifi module is inbuilt in the kernel. Try to reflash.

one more thing, i got august update. how can i update my phone while on this kernel?
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] bidhata:
If boot partition is getting overwritten by new boot image, all settings are gone again. Need the latest source to recompile from scratch. So, better is - make boot_a active and flash boot_b with modified kernel. Boot_a with stock kernel and when you need TWRP - set boot_b active from fastboot and reboot to recovery. That way you may can update safely. ( Again reminder - Don't use slot change option in TWRP - it will brick your phone )
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Username2018:
So does this work on July patch and where can I find the custom kernel? Is it built into the TWRP image file?
