[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] niklas389:
If you have no efs backup, there is no going back. That's the partition where info like this is stored - and it's unique in every phone - so you can't just restore this from another phone.

Maybe oneplus can help, but I don't think there is much hope ?

[General Questions and Answers] mb9:
Hi,

my Xiaomi Remi note 6 Pro after 3 years of smooth running with stock ROM during a MIUI update started to bootlooping.

After dozen of attempts, once it remained incredibly ON for a few minutes and I managed to UNLOCK the bootloader through MI Unlock.

So I flashed TWRP official recovery, I wiped Dalvik art, Cache and Data, then I installed the CUSTOM miui.it ROM for Redmi note 6 pro...nevetheless after 10 minutes of smooth running (excpet for a strange flashing lock screen which forced me to make several attempts to unlock) it started again to bootloop endlessly

On top of that, it started to bootlooping also on recovery mode and on fastboot mode....

So I'm totally UNABLE to flash anything because the phone remains on fastboot mode only for 5 seconds....then reboots automatically...

Please any help would be appreciate...I'm DESPERATE

I made a better way to flash GSIs

https://xdaforums.com/nubia-red-magic-5g/development/swapper-generate-flashable-zips-img-t4133591

Go here and use that.

Nubia's bootloader and fastbootd is **** and both can't flash images to the logical partitions like the system partition and vendor partition.

So we need to build an image for the super partition to be flashed.

If you just wanted to flash a custom rom skip part 1 and download the super.img from the link (los or havoc, havoc recommended as los's brightness control is half broken)

Requirements: An unlocked RM5G booted into the bootloader (not fastbootd, if you don't know what that is, you probably are in bootloader), An A/B GSI image (yes we need a A/B image not an A-only image, from android 9 released devices all phones are systeam as root), A linux environment (I did it in WSL), the download file

BACKUP YOU'RE SUPER PARTITION BEFORE FLASHING AND SAVE IT SOMEWHERE SAFE BEFORE FLASHING

(Seriously, tho I figured this out while trying to unbrick my phone after ****ing up my super partition. Trust me, it will be a life saver. Doing this will also break flashing stock ota rom via recovery until you flash your backup)

Part 1: Building the super image

Download tools.7z and extract it

Place the GSI image in the same folder and rename it to system.img

Execute the lpmake.sh script in a linux environment (It will say invalid headers at magic, it's not an error so just ignore it)

When it is complete there will be a super.img file in the folder (takes about 1 min)

Part 2: Flashing the super image

Before we flash the super.img we have to disable verity.

flash vbmeta and vbmeta_system with

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img

(You don't have to flash these every time. Just once)

Now we can flash the super.img with

fastboot flash super super.img

You also have to wipe dalvik, cache, data

If you have twrp do it in twrp.

If you don't, you shouldn't be doing this, I told you to backup your super partition.

That's it.

Tested GSIs:

LOS 17.X : Boots, Wifi/Data/BT works, Brightness control is half broken (always at full brightness)

Android 11 DP3 : Doesn't boot

Havoc 3.4 : Boots, 3.5 doesn't work

Phh-Quack : Doesn't boot

Descendant X : Boots, same as LOS

Oh, and for people wondering about the fingerprint sensor. It doesn't work. The phone doesn't even know it has it under the display(Maybe a problem with all under display fingerprint sensor phones).

After more testing, found out slot count can be 1 instead of 2.

there seems to be a workaround to keep Fingerprint functionality while rooting and even with twrp installed. it seems it's even possible to lock the bootloader at the same time. will wait for xda guides to explain as i don't understand it yet. i saw video evidence and it's pretty easy. the guy even forgot oem unlock in dev options and it still worked for him.

only cn rom supported it seems. and it's a similar guide to the redmagic 3.

Thanks. I used that ones too. I extracted the system image, added the file, repacked, then used the tool to convert to super, but it wouldnt boot.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] apersomany:
Hmm... That's weird.

Have you increased the size of the partition that you've added the file to in the script? (If it was added to the system img probably won't matter as I've set the value to something like 3gigs if I remember correctly)

So doing it without adding the file works, but if you add it it won't boot right?
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] mslezak:
Yes in our forum in Telegram: ZTE Nubia Redmagic 5G Channel people are using the Chinese ROM and bypassing the bootloader unlock. I have not yet tried. We are perfecting the process ATM. We even got a guy to restore a TWRP backup of Global ROM. It isn't an easy process. You have to be very, very careful. There are a lot of wipes that go on in between.

Is that supposed to be a literal oh really,

Or is it a expression of disbelief?

When a bootloader can be unlocked when oem unlocking is disabled on the phone, that is a major security issue and we call that a $hitty bootloader. And when a fastbootd can't flash to a logical partition when a phone has one, we also call that a $hitty bootloader.

Your device is corrupt. It cant be trusted and will not boot.

I tried to flash vbmeta, vbmeta_system, super.

But it was not enough to make my device work again.

I did not get the first part.

Part 1: Building the super image

Download tools.7z and extract it

Execute the lpmake.sh script in a linux environment (It will say invalid headers at magic, it's not an error so just ignore it)

When it is complete there will be a super.img file in the folder (takes about 1 min)

I started from the second.

What is GSI?
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] apersomany:
Well if you don't know what a GSI is, you should not be doing this.

That happens if you modify your device without unlocking the bootloader/you lock your bootloader after modifying.

To fix your problem you need to unlock you're bootloader

fastboot flashing unlock

It really depends... sometimes it's official NBH's, others it's from an NBH from a different device, sometimes it's a rip direct from the phone (ie Part02.raw), other times it's just a SYS directory...

A nice bit of generosity from the sources of the builds would be good. Unfortuatly this has NEVER been the case and its a matter of "who you know" if you want to get hold of builds for a kitchen. The pandora series of kitchens was the daddy when it was alive.

Ive personally given up cooking my own ROMs since getting hold of a ROM build is difficult.

CRCinAU has bodged together a working stable ROM from several other devices and has ported all the bits over, whereas others have access to a build ready-made. He has done ALOT of work to get the ROMs working, alot more than the other chefs i might add since the majority of the work is porting in his case.

Shame the builds arent shread more since they ARE out there but being withheld rather selfishly.
