Thanks for the detailed info k-ninja. Very interesting. But also quite annoying.

Heaven forbid users have the ability to use their phones how they please :mad:. I wish I was rich so I could slap them about with an army of lawyers.

What about decryption though? Is that source only? I thought it was a standard Android thing.
[Nokia 7.2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] k-ninja:
https://twrp.me/faq/encryptionsupport.html

"Even if your device supports AOSP encryption and decryption, it usually requires custom blob support. The process of figuring this out may take time and may never be done. Some vendors such as Samsung use their own encryption techniques. Without heavy deconstruction/decompiling of custom library blobs, and successful ports by an active maintainer, this may never be done."

Based on that I'd say it's unlikely we'll ever get decryption, unless the blobs can be extracted from an OTA? I really don't know enough about it, but that's another problerm, we'd need a device maintainer with enough time and know how to do all that - Maybe Rahgu has the skill but sounds like he doesn't have the time. I don't know if there's anyone else in this device forum who could.

I decided to have a crack at building my own TWRP using kernel extracted from my current stock boot image (fw400), but unfortunately I have no idea what I'm doing :P

So far I have cloned the device tree from https://github.com/TeamWin/android_device_nokia_DDV_sprout and replaced prebuilt/Image.gz-dtb with the -zImage file extracted using unpackbootimg, but the build command listed in the README doesn't work:

- There's no build directory in the device tree

- lunch command fails with "No such file: omni_DDV_sprout-eng"

- Even the vendorsetup.sh file contains a callout to something called add_lunch_combo which doesn't seem to be part of the standard lunch package.

I assume there is something blindingly obvious I'm missing. This is my first ever attempt at building TWRP so if anyone has any experience and can offer pointers it would be appreciated.
[Nokia 7.2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] CGarz:
Dammit that really sucks. So even though I'm running LineageOS I STILL can't have have decryption support?!

Pfff Android is a joke these days.

Even just finding a reasonably widespread one with an unlockable bootloader but also the very essential microSD card support is getting stupidly difficult.

Hopefully it won't be much longer until there are proper Linux phones. Then I can be free of Ghoulgle and their malevolence.

Thanks again for the info k-ninja.
[Nokia 7.2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] k-ninja:
I feel your pain dude. My last phone was a oneplus 5T, which was a great phone until the touch screen just randomly stopped responding one day. The only fix was to reflashing stock, but it kept happening and eventually I gave up. Didn't want to blow hundreds of dollars on another oneplus after that, but the sad fact is that they are THE brand for custom roms - no other manufacturer comes close (and believe me I looked for alternatives). I landed with the Nokia 7.2 because it seemed like a decent phone at a decent price with an unlocked bootloader. I considered models from Xiaomi and Oppo, but Oppos don't tend to have unlocked boot loaders, and the Xiaomi devices need to go through some painful process requesting and unlock code from the manufacturer.

Anyway, I'm reasonably happy with the 7.2 for now, but yeah, things could be better
[Nokia 7.2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] CGarz:
Oneplus's always came up when searching for decent phones that I could actually make mine. They would be amazing and my 1st choice if they had expandable storage.

At best no microSD support is just an absolute deal breaker for me with my huge files and aversion to the cloud. And at worst its basically a scam to sell extra memory at exorbitant prices.

At the very least they should have the combined 2nd sim or sd card thing that is common.

About the TWRP build process thing. Is it not possible to automate the process? I'm totally unqualified but it seems like there isn't anything that would require special treatment from version to version?

[Nokia 7.2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Arunragav:
Is there any way to use temporary twrp recovery without unlocking bootloader? just worried if i unlock bootloader i wont be able to receive or install any future system updates from hmd properly? any help is much appreciated
[Nokia 7.2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] CGarz:
Unlocking the bootloader will have no effect on OTA updates. I have verified this myself.

However, there is no way to run TWRP without installing it (since fastboot boot doesn't work). This WILL prevent OTA updates.

A reasonable workaround is to take advantage of the A/B partition scheme. You just need to change slot before installing. Then change slot back when in TWRP.

This will also let you get a backup of your stock boot partition.

Procedure:

Follow OP procedure until before the flashing TWRP command (currently step 5)

before step 5, run:

fastboot --set-active=other

Continue OP procedure

Once in TWRP, BE SURE to switch the slot back:

TWRP Main menu > Reboot menu > Change slot to whatever the other slot is. E.g. If a, change to b and vice versa.

Now when you do a backup or reboot, the boot that gets backed up or booted is once again your stock boot.
[Nokia 7.2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] overclockA:
I tried again to flash LineageOS, but my problem seems to be related on TWRP.

I wiped everything and after that I installed my ZIP file.

Actually, my system folder is still empty and TWRP tells me not to reboot as I have "No OS installed" - right after installing.

I didn't get any error messages, which makes me to ask here what I am maybe doing wrong? I used the latest twrp version mentioned here.

Any ideas? Now, I helped myself as I flashed the stock rom back.
[Nokia 7.2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] CGarz:
Try again and follow the instructions carefully. Rebooting even though it says no OS installed was what I had to do when I did it.

Also, you should ask in the Lineage thread instead of here. From the sounds of it I'm reasonably sure it's not a TWRP issue.
[Nokia 7.2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] overclockA:
Hi again,

I was able to finally start lineageos after changing from slot A to slot B. I didn't see the system partition because it wasn't mounted after flashing lineageos.

[Nokia 7.2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] p0w3r_off:
I flashed the newest TWRP 3.4.0 to my TA-1196 Phone. But the touchscreen does not work at all in twrp. at other situations like normal boot on stock rom, everything works fine. security update date is on 05. june 2020 so the latest seems to be right, Android Version 10.

i tried twrp-3.4.0-0-DDV_sprout-10.0-20200629.img and twrp-3.4.0-0-DDV_sprout-10.0-20200627.img. but neither of them seems to work, its the same thing - no reaction of touch to my inputs of sliding to unlock. am i missing something? bootloader is unlocked of course.

i'm thinking about using a usb-otg cable, connecting a usb mouse to my phone via otg-adapter and then try to use twrp. i will do that when i get home this evening. but i will be thankful for ideas xD

[a bit OT]i still didnt got around to it. but you know, this is just a strange feeling. many of you don't know, but i had an huawei p20 device earlier. for you nokia users unknown, its an nightmare of an device without the ability to unlock the bootloader. now i have an different device but still things does not work as it should. "no, touch does not work, wifi does not work sometimes on some versions, cant flash custom roms". wtf, it almost feels like the huawei p20 and you try every way of unlocking the bootloader without code :D are companys so selfish these days for not giving out codes or sources? i wonder why.[/a bit OT]

[extreme OT] since i get pissed so often because these devices dont do what they supposed to do, maybe i should call myself angry mobile device nerd [/extreme OT]

accidentally flashed wrong version

I wasn't paying attention, flashed the boot image for the wrong patch level, and now my device won't boot normally or into recovery. I don't even know what my patch level is. I then tried flashing every image to boot, boot_a, and boot_b, to see if any of them would boot, but none of them did. I'm on android 10 with a Nokia 4.
[Nokia 7.2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] p0w3r_off:
Im very sorry to hear that. But you know this is the forum for Nokia 7.2? You didnt took the twrp from here and flashed it to Boot_a and boot_b? This image is not suppposed for use on Nokia 4. It Sounds like your device is bricked.. have you tried going into Fastboot mode?

I wouldnt precisely say i have a solution. Its more a workaround: you dont use the touch. Use adb Shell twrp commands on your PC while your phone is in twrp Recovery mode. You can do most of the things without the Touch gui. I installed lineageOS 21. There it have an own recovery loader. It works Just fine.

Can I root the 7.2 or 2.2 with this and Magisk?

Hi, I have a few questions:

1. Can this TWRP be used to root the Nokia 7.2? I'm following Magisk installation instructions from the github official repository, and it says to root I would need "a copy of the boot.img". So does this TWRP package include the boot.img?

My goal is to just root the phone, without wiping android or any other user data.

2. I have another phone, the Nokia 2.2, which was released about the same time as the Nokia 7.2 (2019-06-06 and 2019-08-05, respectively). Can I use this TWRP package to also root the Nokia 2.2? Because, strangely, I haven't found any resources to root the 2.2 specifically.

Thanks.

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

Update: the 7.2 and 6.2 source codes are currently published on that page. But strangely the 2.2 is not, even though it was released about the same time (mid 2019), and on that page there is the code for newer phones.
[Nokia 7.2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] CGarz:
No need for the stock boot.img if you have TWRP installed already. You would just use the Magisk zip installer. It wont wipe anything. Only unlocking the bootloader wipes data. And the bootloader is required to be unlocked before anything, such as TWRP or Magisk, can be flashed.

I'm 99.999% sure that this TWRP will only work for the Nokia 7.2.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Steb96:
Hi,

the vibration motor of my 23-month-old G6 has stopped working and at first sight it doesn't seem a software problem. furthermore the 3.5mm jack has been partially broken for a long time.

I'm considering sending it to LG for warranty service but I replaced the camera glass with an unofficial one. the repairer told me that he had not opened the phone nor the warranty seals (seems legit according to online tutorials). Do you think I have a chance that my phone will be repaired for free? I attach photos (google drive links. remove space after 'h' in http) to assess how visible the difference is.

[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] maybeme2:
I may be spoiled because all my previous phones were various versions of Nexus phones (and tablets), all rooted and with various stock and/or other ROMs installed. But Nexus phones were originally designed for developers, easy to root and mod.

Moto G7 is my first non Nexus phone. So what I write may not be unique and perhaps apply to other non-Nexus phones. I don't know.

Despite all my modding I never bricked a phone until I got the Moto G7. And I've read of many others who have hard bricked their Moto phones too. Moto certainly does not want you to root or modify their phones and punishes you if you do.

If you wish to root the G7:

—unlocking the bootloader requires you to first contact and get a code from Moto

—you then get an annoying persistent warning at every boot that tells you this is now an untrusted phone (as if you did not know)

—rooting this phone is fraught with many problems along the way (but it is a new phone with little development)

—if you make the error of later installing an ota update from Moto (even if officially announced on the phone as available and even after unrooting the phone) it can irretrievably brick your phone without warning (as I've done)

That said, the unrooted phone is excellent value despite some problems like occasionally dropping wifi. But in my experience it is not particularly suited for rooting and modding.

Fwiw

(Does anyone know what Moto charges to repair a phone out if warranty?)

[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] maybeme2:
I cannot agree more! A huge thank you to the few developers who have helped us, including Alberto97 who gave us the unofficial TWRP early on, the twrp team who recently provided an official version, and the few brave helpers who helped us in XDA.:svetius:

But, one problem non-expert users face when seeking advice by 'searching first' (as recommended) instead of asking 'again' in the threads is the *outdated advice* found. Take for example something as common as how to root the Moto G7. Advice found by searching for rooting advice include:

Rather complicated! Actually rooting the Moto G7 with an unlocked bootloader is as simple as:

—install Magisk Manager and use it to download Magisk zip.

—in TWRP, install Magisk zip

That will root the phone.

(besides, many versions of Magisk would patch boot.IMG in ways that don't work correctly for the G7)

I don't know that there is much that can be done about outdated or incorrect advice but it explains the frustration of non-expert users. ?

I've been using HavocOS 2.7 for a while and I didn't have the bug(used 9.8 Indian firmware) and after I upgraded to HavocOS 2.9 with the latest firmware, the phone locks itself and the wifi disconnects while the network resets itself.

MSCHAPV2, PEAP, no certificates) and not on any other wifi. Going back to HavocOS 2.7 or any other ROM of that time(3-4 months ago) fixes the issue but any newer ROM causes this.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nanohead:
OK, so I like many others have had some serious problems with the Android 10 in place update. So I decided to do a factory reset, and this time, actually rely (and pray) on Google backup and restore.

Shockingly, restore worked pretty well, and it generally put the phone back to the way it was.

I did the wipe/restore because since the Q update, phone calls don't show up on the sleep screen. The phone remains black, and I have no idea that people are calling if I have it on silent. The restore didn't fix it unfortunately....

But what did happen, is that when SMS was restored, the only app I can see them correctly in is Google Messages. I'd been using Chomp for years, but the messages load completely randomly there. I tried deleting Chomp, clearing its cache and storage, but nothing works. Also tried Textra and its random as well.

Obviously, the SMS database is loaded correctly as it works fine in Googles base app

No idea what to do from here. Any thoughts appreciated.....
