Nokia 7 plus security patch seems to have stopped after March. Is it possible to sideload security patch of Nokia 7.2 onto this device? Anyone tried before?
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jv.batista:
I'll guess that you'll end up with an expensive paper weight if you do that. If not mistaken the bootloader unlock for this phone is free now so you can unlock it and install another rom.

Hi everybody,

anyone can help me to find Nokia 7 plus B2N-415N-0-00WW-B01

Bests,

Hello everybody,

I have unlocked my TA-1055 but i want to return to stock rom and relock the bootloader, because some of the apps I use are giving problems because the phone is unlocked and is "not trustable".

Is there a firmware that i can flash on my phone to make it return completely stock?

Is the one provided for TA-1046 ok?

i don't try this, but yes is posisble sideload rollback zip from sd card , if you download zip using phone, then without pc...

procedure is same as sideload via pc and adb, starting recovery and only instead selecting "sideload from adb" you select "sideload from sd card"
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Fahad1993:
tnx a lot bro....bro then now if i download the ota file manually from nokia official website then i need update my security patch??my security patch may 1...or automatically if i install that beta file then my patch will update?
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] k3dar7:
don't download "differential OTA"... for sideload download rollback zip (this is whole "ROM"), you can download from Nokia if sign Developer program, where is Pie DP/Beta AND rollback with Oreo8.1(this is what you want, in section "Manual roll-back")

or download from #0 post of this thread, in Android 9 section is on bottom "Rollback WW 2.22A SP03 Android 8.1 August 2018"...

then you must start to recovery, without PC&ADB is procedure:

1. connect phone via usb cable to charger

2. power off phone and wait a moment

3. press at once Power and VolumeUp, hold it both until phone vibrate

4. wait for show green android logo with red exclamation mark and text "no command"

5. press and hold PowerButton, press once VolumeUp, release PowerButton, this show recovery menu

6. select (using VolumeDown) "Apply update from SD card", confirm it pressing once PowerButton

as i write before, i don't try this, then not know if zip must have specific name (some as update.zip or other) or if is show filebrowser where you can select name of downloaded file...
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Fahad1993:
u guys are too good man...thanks a lot...i didn't get 1% help from nokia care but here u guys give me 100% tnx a lot.... unexpected feedback from u guys...??

---------- Post added at 06:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 AM ----------

bro another question i am seeing there are 2 august securit patch should i download both?
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] k3dar7:
no, 2 august files is only OTA and in Android 8 section, as i write download rollback, this is only one with August, in Android 9 section ;) "Rollback WW 2.22A SP03 Android 8.1 August 2018"
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Fahad1993:
bro i am confuse which should one download??1st one/2nd one?
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] k3dar7:
not 1st, not 2nd, but last (not show on your screenshot ;) is little confusing that this is in Android 9 section, but because "rollback" is primary for downgrade "Android 9 beta" to "Android 8.1 stable"

"Rollback WW 2.22A SP03 Android 8.1 August 2018"

edit:
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Fahad1993:
i dont wanna roll back or downgrade i wanna update...and i already installed the august security 1st one any problem?
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] slmxdaa:
I had the same problem...1062 with may update.. and I dont have a sd card

So i do it with adb.. yes if u dont know what to it might make your phone dead...

Can you go to recovery mood??
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Fahad1993:
yeah i can go and i updated my security patch by that way
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] slmxdaa:
How did you install??

What is current build number??

I did it serially 1st june then july

After that august
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] k3dar7:
i don't know if OTA files is posible sideload via recovery menu, i don't try this... but if yes, then is need repeat procedure with ALL differential OTA files,

because you have may, then ALL from "WW 2.22A>WW 2.22A SP01 June 2018" to "WW 2.22A SP03>WW 2.22M August 2018" (4 files, 4x sideload)

but you can only sideload rollback, this not is only name for downgrade Pie to Oreo, but if you have Oreo+May then your don't downgrade but upgrade to Oreo+August
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] slmxdaa:
Then I guess u have solved ur probelm

---------- Post added at 06:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 AM ----------

When the the stable pie will be relased..waiting .
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Fahad1993:
bro i followed ur step...via sd card i do that ...

my build number here?? and bro i also do it serially then should i download the 2nd august security too?
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] k3dar7:
you can confirm that OTA zip is posible sideload using "adb sideload otafile.zip" ?

if yes, then is maybe better download and sideload from sd 4 OTA files with total size of 350MB than 1 rollback file with size 1.3GB, in particular if his have mobie data limit

---------- Post added at 08:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------

you already sideload from ota 3 files? then yes, download&sideload also 2nd august security, this is bugfix for 1st august security ota ;)
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] slmxdaa:
What is your point bro..dont get it...

Currently usung 2.22M latest august patch
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Fahad1993:
bro um not sure still now that pblm solved or not i just upadate security patch now i will try fro android beta
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Fahad1993:
bro i updated all security patches now my build number is latest....see the screen shot should i update this now the same way? and if i update to beta then will i get the next ota regularly? though my play store not showing me uncertified more??
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Fahad1993:
hey bro now my security patch latest...should i try this beta file in screen shot now?
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] slmxdaa:
You can always try the beta... No matter what ur security patch in oreo

But no matter what we will never recieve OTA update..always have to do manually
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Fahad1993:
so sad..ok bro tnx...oh bro before update beta am i need to wipe my all data?
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] slmxdaa:
Yes

[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] antoniotrodrigo:
Hi everyone, first sorry if this is not the right place to post/ask, but, i got my 7+ in Aug and only this week i suppose to receive, maybe tomorrow, so i'm trying to solve all the doubts i have before doing something, as you all already have one, i got TA-1062 and, seller changed the CN to Global one, with playstore and etc, but i found that, after May update if im not wrong, the playstore shows uncertified and not receive more updates, its TA-1062 now working fine or can anyone tell me something that i need to do when i get it ? I want to receive normal updates and of course Android P official and well, all working as global one.

Thank you.
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Danieldan5152:
Well my device ta 1055 verified though was stuck on april update recieved on aug 5 I had to manually install ota updates one by one, so maybe consider this at your own risk.
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] antoniotrodrigo:
well, i think your 1055 i guess its android one, mine 1062 come with chinese rom but the seller changed to global rom, WW, idk much, so i probably try update manually but i dont know how to do either, i'll wait and hope my phone gets home tomorrow, thanks for your reply.
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] r3hut:
if it is custom global rom then it wont get automatic updates after may update.if you want to get automatic updates and official pie update then keeping the CN rom would be a good idea.otherwise for custom global rom you'll have to manually sideload the updates as i have done to my ta-1062.

i just hope someday i could root my phone and tweak some settings that will enable OTA for my phone.until then,i'll be pushing updates to my phone manually
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
WORKING DECRYPT

Instructions:

First be on OOS any version, clean install, no custom kernels/mods. (I recommend flashing the fastboot-flashable version, with the flash-all-partitions.bat option but it's just me. Thanks [MENTION=4712355]mauronofrio[/MENTION]) otherwise TWRP is fine.

- Unzip, put the files to somewhere on your phone (/sdcard for ex.) - skip this step if you plan to do it manually.

- Flash desired TWRP, Reboot Recovery

- Format /data

- Flash Magisk (It works with 16.7), Reboot Recovery

- After reboot recovery, mount everything

- Advanced>File Manager, go to /vendor/etc, delete both fstab.qcom, and fstab_nodata.qcom (or copy and edit the files your self, remove "avb". anything with "forceencrypt" change to "encrytpable")

- Now copy/move the changed files back

- Reboot and enjoy

fstab files to move in twrp (put them in /sdcard and move them to vendor/etc)

https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4554705&d=1532168314

Alternative way

Keep Decrypt between OS updates

-Flash FULL ZIP in TWRP

-Without booting the OS: Flash TWRP Recovery, reboot recovery, flash Magisk, reboot recovery, and then did the /vendor/etc stuff, then reboot system.

OOS boots & keeps the decryption state, with no issues - SUCCESS

credits [MENTION=7261711]_MartyMan_[/MENTION] for testing my theory and proving it works, also for making the proces easier by uploading edited fstab files.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] joemossjr:
Why do you need to disable encryption
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
multi-boot, i also dont believe i need encryption forced on my phone - it should be an option.

also it may have performance increase (MAY),
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Probably won't see a performance increase as there's hardware support for the encryption and the sd845 combined make it a super small difference
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
only way to to know is to try

plus I don't lile things enforced, I like to be given the option to enable encryption.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vtec303:

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:

please let me know how it goes.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] _MartyMan_:

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
how did it go

how did you go?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] _MartyMan_:
EDIT: Uploaded decrypting fstab files but with nodiscard & barrier=0 for better performance.

Instructions:

First be on OOS 5.1.9, clean install, no custom kernels/mods. (I recommend flashing the fastboot-flashable version, with the flash-all-partitions.bat option but it's just me. Thanks [MENTION=4712355]mauronofrio[/MENTION])

- Make a backup of stock fstab files (fstab.qcom, and fstab_nodata.qcom) in case something goes wrong.

- Download desired fstab .zip

- Unzip, put the files to somewhere on your phone (/sdcard for ex.)

- Flash desired TWRP, Reboot Recovery

- Flash Magisk (It works with 16.7), Reboot Recovery

- After reboot recovery, mount everything

- Advanced>File Manager, go to /vendor/etc, delete both fstab.qcom, and fstab_nodata.qcom

- Now copy/move the changed files back, and chmod 644 for both.

- Reboot Bootloader, fastboot format userdata (It'll WIPE EVERYTHING, make backups)

- Reboot and enjoy :) (One pop-up will be there every boot but it's nothing serious. You get the same if you install some custom kernels.)

Thank you [MENTION=3433052]virtyx[/MENTION] for the instructions/ideas
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
FINALLY :D

we can also edit fstab for performance discard to nodiscard barrier=1 to barrier=0 (this increases performance)

ALSO

I think you must flash magisk after kernel every time as I think kernels somehow re-enable verity

can you test please [MENTION=7261711]_MartyMan_[/MENTION]

I. e after decrypted reboot twrp and flash blue_spark for example and boot to OS and see if your still decrypt because after flashing kernel AFTER magisk I can't seem to edit /vendor
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] _MartyMan_:
Oh, let me see :D I'll update the instructions with to choose barrier=0 and nodiscard fstab files :good:

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

On it. Will report back

EDIT: Barrier=0 and nodiscard boots, no issues so far. Updated my instructions :good:

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------

Okay, custom kernels are working with decryption. Re-flash Magisk right after flashing custom kernels. (Tested with Smurf Kernel 1.4.7) :D :good:
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] no.one.writeme:
Hi @all,

I didn't have any time to test the no encryption/no verify option in my OnePlus 6 but I modified the [MENTION=2447659]snowwolf725[/MENTION] file from this thread.

If anyone would like to test, please leave some feedback. Remember this is not my work, I just edited. All credits ( if it work ) should go to [MENTION=2447659]snowwolf725[/MENTION].

It just flashes the current slot and you must mount vendor partition in TWRP.

Best regards,
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
what If you don't flash magisk after kernel?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
doubt this works but can someone try it?

the only way I know to disable verity is magisk

if this works, great another step we don't need to do.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] samteeee:
@OP, _MartyMan_, snowwolf725

Thank you for sharing.

I followed _MartyMan_'s "step by step" and everything worked.

I also installed custom kernel(cleanslate) and all is good and root is achieved

as well. The only thing as mentioned before is the "verity" error message after each boot.

For me everything is snappy, smooth and fast.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
updated OP with clear instructions [MENTION=7261711]_MartyMan_[/MENTION] if you get the chance can you try my steps in the 'test' section in OP? trying to keep decrypt between OS updates.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] _MartyMan_:
TEST 1: Keep decrypted between OOS updates:

I was on decrypted OOS 5.1.9 with Magisk, Magisk mods, bluspark recovery, and Smurf custom kernel. Did a wipe of everything -the internal storage.

Flashed the fastboot-flashable OOS 5.1.9

Without booting the OS: Flashed blu spark recovery, reboot recovery, flashed Magisk, reboot recovery, and then did the /vendor/etc stuff, then reboot system.

OOS boots & keeps the decryption state, with no issues -

SUCCESS

:good: (Vendor popup remains)

Also, FYI xXx NoLimits 2.6 is working with decryption.

TEST 2: Keep decrypted with custom kernels - No Magisk flashed.

Flashed custom kernel (SmurfKernel 1.4.7) without flashing Magisk after.

Bad news: The OS does not boot (tried 3 times), Magisk needed -

FAILURE

:(

Good news: After flashing Magisk the OS boots up again (decrypted) with no issues. So you need to flash Magisk after, or the OS won't boot whatever you do :D

TEST 3: Staying decrypted with the file by [MENTION=2447659]snowwolf725[/MENTION], edited for OP6 by [MENTION=1944311]no.one.writeme[/MENTION]

(This could save us time, as the /vendor/etc stuff is not needed.)

I was on decrypted OOS 5.1.9 with Magisk, bluspark recovery,and Smurf custom kernel. Did a wipe of everything -the internal storage.

Flashed the fastboot-flashable OOS 5.1.9

Without booting the OS: Flashed bluspark recovery, reboot recovery, flashed Magisk, reboot recovery, and then flashed the "no_verity_op6_v1.zip", reboot system

OOS bootlooping for 3 minutes, then reboots to recovery, bootlogo freezes...

FAILURE

:(

So the /vendor/etc stuff is needed :/

Anyway, thank you everybody :D :good:

Thank you guys for your work and testing.

Ok, so does this mean we only need to flash this zip file from the linked thread?

No fstab stuff, only flash the zip after Magisk?

That would be awesome :)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
i was able to decrypt using 16.0 stable (as beta versions have more verbose logging)

this required me to flash magisk then enter the OS - open magisk manager, untick encrypt and verity, then install magisk again via direct install and then boot into twrp format data and do the fstab changes and it worked.

but this required me to boot into OS - i am unsure if its possible to do this with 16.0 in TWRP between updates.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ilia1985:
Has anyone tried this on dp3? I have successfully decrypted 5.1.9 following instructions in the thread. Many thanks for that :svetius: I briefly compared fstabs of 5.1.9 and dp3 and they are different
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] worldsoutro:
I highly recommend not performing decryption your device. You are placing your stored information at greater risk if you were to lose your phone.

Won't this break safety net?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Testerofroms:
Sorry, I can't confirm.

Neither of both zips / (fstab.qcom,fstab_nodata.qcom pairs), worked for me.

After format data and reboot the data partition is already encrypted.

Also this method is not working for me.

Booting fails after installation.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vtec303:
Hi mate, can you please let us know step wise how to do this, there are three different methods going on in this thread for decryption I have tried one which hasn't worked for me, I want to try your method, cheers.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] no.one.writeme:
Hi, the method I tried and it worked with OOS 5.1.9 all stock, was this.

Make a backup of the internal data.

Boot into fastboot mode and erase user data ( fastboot erase userdata; fastboot format userdata - this will erase everything from the phone. Don't forget to backup before performing the previous commands.

To successfully decrypt you must boot into TWRP and apply the script in the thread.

Upon boot your device will be decrypted.

That's how I did it.

Best regards.

P.S. : Try the modded file to remove avb ( probably the verify flag ) from fstab to see if it avoids the error message upon boot.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vtec303:
ok, nice one, i will give it a go tomorrow hopefully it should work, thanks for your help, cheers.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
We dont care - we can easily remotely wipe our device if need be.

We want the OPTION to encrypt. Not everyone cares about the information on their phone, and not even out there wants the information on your phone.

nope, i run magisk alongside this safety net passes.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] AshraafAzhar:
Do we need to do this "untick, direct install" etc with Magisk 16.7?,

and did anyone test mounting /system or / with noatime? or relatime?(relatime gives the same speed and flash write cycle conservation benefits as noatime, without its downside)

and what about "commit" flags?(by default ext4 forces a full sync of all data/journal to physical media every 5 seconds), maybe we can try with commit=60 for example to further increase performance and reduce write cycle.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
16.7 disables verity when you flash not 16.0

also no a time is already used, you can confirm by going to process/mounts this shows how the partitions are mounted
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] meistr91:
Hello, thanks for clear tutorial! Im just interested what is multi-boot?

I know that encryption is needed to insure that information on your phone is safe.

But, does the encryption have any disadvantages in modding your phone?

If you could clear this information for me, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
you have two ROMs running simultaneously without worrying about /data being borked as some ROMs require DECRYPT state to work
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] meistr91:
So you saying is possible to have 2 roms? for example lineage and stock OOS? You can reboot into another one and have same data of apps?

Once when I had xperia z1, I have seen multiROM kernel development, but never tried that out.

Thanks:)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DocRambone:
Its not possible to run 2 different roms as dualboot due to the shared /data.
