It works for me, we're just flashing an image to a partition, very simple.

Did this happen to you? Because "people" love to spread FUD about my apps.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] cultofluna:
No im doing it on fastboot.

But on previous phones ( OP3T ,OP6T)always have used your app to backup and restore stock kernel..

Curious why they're getting crashdump after restoring stock kernel through the app...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] czerdrill:
It happened to me. Ended up with crash dump after restoring stock. Dont know why or how but it happened. Either way i did msm, lost my fingerprint (my fault) and put the kernel right back on. It's a good kernel but there is some issue with the restoring.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] old_fart:
I will add myself as one who had a 'crash dump' on Friday night. Thank goodness [MENTION=8234677]Some_Random_Username[/MENTION] provided us with a serious unbrick tool...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] flar2:
The download mode issue is definitely caused by something else. EXKM is not responsible and I would appreciate if people stop spreading rumours as such.

The boot.img is a partition image, and it is flashed to a boot partition. The image is the image and the app just does a simple flash of the partition and furthermore, EXKM does error checking, so you would know if it failed. There is nothing more I can do on my side.

I just flashed the stock image from the kernel backup screen and from the flash tool within EXKM and it worked fine each time. I did it four times just to be sure. If there is some problem, it is likely caused by flashing some other things like a custom dtbo.img that doesn't match the kernel, or modification of kernel modules.

I don't know what other kernels, ROMs and mods are doing, but ElementalX doesn't touch your dtbo.img or modules, so you will be safe flashing between ElementalX and stock or stock rooted.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] flar2:
If the problem is flashing alternate dtbo.img from other kernels, perhaps I will add a dtbo partition backup to EXKM as well, that way you can save the stock dtbo.img before flashing other kernels. You would need that for compatibility with ElementalX as well.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] osm0sis:
I might be able to shed a bit of light.

The QCom CrashDump Mode seems to be due to a kernel or dtbo mismatch, for example [MENTION=4712355]mauronofrio[/MENTION] and I noticed it when the kernel was updated between OOS versions but not in TWRP's .img. The solution was to always use the latest prebuilt stock kernel and use the one from India, IIRC.

So, if I had to guess why restoring a kernel backup might cause this issue, I'd probably think perhaps the user made that backup before getting an OTA or something, so once they went to restore it it wasn't for the correct OOS version anymore.

So none of that would be flar2 or EXKM's fault, but more on the end user for not understanding how their device behaves or updating their backups.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] flar2:
It's either that or also could be the audio modules. I seem to recall ending up in download mode once while fooling around with the audio modules.

[MENTION=2604452]czerdrill[/MENTION], [MENTION=4375463]old_fart[/MENTION] can you please report exactly steps how you backup and restore through the exkm app ( before getting crashdump)

Are you sure you didn't try to restore a backup from a previous oos ?

---------- Post added at 09:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ----------

That's i believe the issue...

Most custom kernels are using custom dtbo

So users when they restoring stock kernel through your app the stock dtbo it doesn't be restored...

It will be very useful to add a dtbo.img backup ..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] czerdrill:
I go to kernel backup, click the saved backup i have and say yes to restore. I want to be clear i don't think it's ekxms fault either, it's something i did I'm sure. It's possible i restored from an earlier version although i make it a habit to backup after each update.

In another instance i restored the stock kernel and lost wifi and lte. Was only able to get them back after flashing elemental again.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but was just sharing my experience.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Freak07:
No kernel on the OP8 Pro Forums is flashing a custom dtbo.img as far as I can see. Feel free to double check.

Most kernels include custom dtb in their AK installers. Some kernels might flash them to the wrong place (appended dtb), instead of the new separate dtb section introduced in Android 10.

Restoring the correct stock boot.img will overwrite these changes however, as the dtb is still part of the boot.img unlike a custom dtbo.img. So I don´t see this problem being caused by restoring a boot.img.

What can cause problems indeed like [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] mentioned is restoring a boot.img that doesn´t match either the firmware variant (ba, aa, etc) or that is not matching the correct firmware version such as flashing 10.5.6 vs 10.5.9 and having a mismatch there.

Using the dtb from 10.5.6 on a device running 10.5.9 will result in a crashdump screen as described by users. I tested this myself since it took OnePlus a week to update the source. Once I removed the dtb from my AK3 zip, I was able to boot a 10.5.6 source built kernel Image with 10.5.9 dtb.

I saw quite a few posts where people uploaded a boot.img for other users without detailing the variant specifically for example.

I advise everybody to take their own backups of their boot.img´s and not rely on others. It´s good practice and can help you to recover your device.

Another thing to keep in mind that maybe not everybody is aware of when taking their own backups, which can result in mismatching boot.imgs:

If you flash an OTA via OnePlus Updater and backup the boot.img without doing a complete reboot after the OTA, you will end up with a boot.img from the OLD firmware not the updated one if I´m not mistaken. [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] can gladly correct me here, but I think EXKM always backs up the active slot.

So if you´re on slot a, flash OTA via OnePlus Updater (this is flashed to slot b), go to EXKM to backup the boot.img you will end up with a backup of the outdated firmware, since slot a is still the active one. The OS switches slots on the reboot following the OTA Update.

You´re probably restoring a mismatching boot.img. This results in modmagic for kernel modules failing (stock kernels have modmagic enabled) and the WLAN driver cannot be loaded.

EX-Kernel disables this modmagic check for kernel modules, hence WiFi works fine for you again.

You need to flash exactly the same boot.img from the firmware you´re running to get back to stock.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] cultofluna:
Can't be that on exkm you're talking a backup from a stock kernel..not the dtbo img

Stock boot img contains kernel and dtbo..

So by restoring you're not restoring the stock dtbo

That was my thought..

( I believe that omega using a custom dtbo)

EDIT: But indeed if you try to to restore a backup from a previous OOS , like the user above, then it should definitely not work..and that's the culprit for..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] osm0sis:
dtbo is its own partition, dtb is part of the boot.img. Then there's recovery_dtbo in the recovery.img. It's confusing, I know. Thank Google. :p
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Freak07:
That is wrong.

Omega uses its own dtb but not its own dtbo.img.

the boot.img contains the zImage and the dtb. the dtbo.img is not part of the boot.img. No kernel on the OP 8 Pro forums touches the dtbo.img. By flashing the correct stock boot.img you will undo everything that gets flashed through any AnyKernel zip on the OP8 Pro forums.

The catch is you need to flash the correct boot.img.

Yep..

I understand now..

I personally had a crashdump while trying to restore stock kernel with the app

Now I don't know if it was me or not. But I backed up my kernel before flashing this kernel. BUT I cannot remember if I backed up before or after I applied an ota.

I was going to test another kernel and flashes smh back up of the stock kernel and got a crashdump. Tried everything to get out of it but wasn't able to. I had to MDM download to restore and lost my persist. My device is now with a repair shop to get fixed.

Again now sure if it was my fault or not. But just wanted to report
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] old_fart:
My best guess is that this is what clobbered me. I restored a stock boot kernel and it "may have been / probably was..." an older stock kernel. For stock, there is no label / flag saying "i'm an old one, so don't use me or you'll be in big trouble ! " . . .
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Freak07:
It sadly comes to late for you [MENTION=4175173]c_86[/MENTION], but it might be worth a shot looking at this tool:

https://xdaforums.com/nokia-7-plus/how-to/guide-how-to-extract-payload-bin-ota-t3830962

If you get this tool running once, you can always extract the boot.img of the full firmware zip you flashed on your device.

That´s how I usually do it. Even if it´s tedious and not as convenient, I extract all the boot.imgs myself. That way I´m sure it is from the firmware I flashed.

Once extracted maybe label the file matching the firmware you extracted it from. Then you can easily flash it via EXKM to return back to stock, or if you can´t boot into the OS, by fastboot booting twrp and flashing it via twrp.

Of course you can. :) the last post wasn´t meant to be any sort of complete guide on how to flash a boot.img.

You should just ignore that unless you have a reason to flash to the inactive slot.

One scenario would be after installing an OTA, but before rebooting into the new system. EG: let OTA install but don't reboot, then flash Magisk and ElementalX to the inactive slot

Is it possible for ex kernel to boot a TWRP.img, but not flash only to boot it one time like when "fastboot boot TWRP.img". ?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] cultofluna:
No..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] smartymcfly:
No what? Why not?

I did not mean if it can be done now. I was asking if it is a possibility? I am asking from a technical point of view. If EX kernel manager can flash a boot IMG, then I would imagine if a boot IMG was packaged in way that says to only boot it rather than flash it that it would be a possibility. If not what are the reasons why not? There are some kernels that have the ability to do this, so why can't a recovery?

I was hoping for an answer from [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Maybe this is the wrong place to ask about it, but I have this device so I am asking here.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kpirnie:
Mate.

Simply put. You asked if a KERNEL can BOOT a RECOVERY

The answer is NO, a KERNEL CANNOT BOOT a RECOVERY

#1 Recovery is a separate partition

#2 The Kernel contains all the source and drives needed to interface all hardware aspects of our devices together in a way that makes them usable

#3 There are exact 0 kernels on the planet we live on that can BOOT a RECOVERY

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

Thus since EX KERNEL Manager is built to manage and flash KERNELS and NOT RECOVERIES why would you expect it to be able to? And honestly... how dare you to be so presumptious.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] cultofluna:
LoL...

What are you talking about?

you're messing up things...

You have to start reading again about Kernels and recoveries
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] smartymcfly:
You didn't help and I will find my answer elsewhere.

You are calling me presumptuous?

3. Ex kernel manager can flash the recovery. I don't want to know if it will flash the recovery, only to boot it a single time. And in case you don't know, the recovery is built on top of a kernel. So yes, kernels do boot recoveries, without a kernel the recovery would not boot.

2. I was not asking about the kernel.

1. Starting with the pixel devices, were released having the A/B system, the recovery was actually part of the kernel or boot partition. Since the pixel 3 and moving forward with Android 10 with dynamic partitioning the recovery is not is not located on a single partition and that is one of the reasons why it has taken such a long time, or seems like a long time because other phones that are on a droid are able.to keep the old partitioning system, Google is not forcing oems to make the change until they are shipped with Android 11, all devices that start with that version have to use dynamic partitioning. There are phones that there is not "recovery" partition, the only way to use the custom recovery is to boot it a single time via fastboot. And if you go back use a pixel (not including 4) up to Android 9 custom recoveries were part of the kernel or boot partition along with the kernel and ramdisk.

Pixel 3's and 4's have been using the dynamic partitioning and the recovery is located in pieces on multuole partitions starting with Android 10.

ExKernel has the ability to flash stuff, run scripts, monitor the battery and many other things, not just manage the kernel.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Lossyx:
Dynamic partitioning is mandatory on devices launched on Android 10, not 11. And I'm not sure where your going with this? We have a separate recovery partition, but I don't think you can boot it on from the device itself.

If you're just going to use it one time, flash it, after you're done, flash the stock recovery. Few extra steps, but it accomplish the same thing no?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] cultofluna:
LoL...

If you just want to boot the recovery , use fastboot ..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kpirnie:
Presumptious... yes... absolutely.

You cam here asking questions, you received multiple answers from multiple people, yet you presume that you are still correct.

Good luck mate... what I would suggest... don't flash anything ever to any of your devices... please...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] flar2:
When you do fastboot boot, the bootloader loads the recovery image into memory and then boots it, instead of booting from the boot partition.

From the running system, you would have to somehow tell the bootloader to boot from an alternate location rather than the boot partition. Not sure if that's practically possible due to all the security around the bootloader, but technically is possible. Would be similar to multirom from a few years ago.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] smartymcfly:
Thank You for a practical answer. I was asking theoretically, rather wanting to be able to do it. It was just a question. I have not flashed TWRP in a long time. I just boot it via fastboot if I need to use it.

Thank You. Sounds like more work than I have time for.

3. Install hidden core module under exposed. Status became true but some government app became forced close.
