Basically the title. I just got this phone yesterday and anytime I try to flash a boot image it gives me this error.

Not only custom images, I tried flashing the stock boot using the latest ota firmware and their install script, it ended up with all these errors
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] thewhitewox:
Nevermind, I just had to update my fastboot executable
[Magisk] Bitmixer:
Hi all, I'd like to share my experiences here about trying to patch boot.img for the Blackview BV6300 Pro which is one of the countless MediaTek Helio P70 (aka MT6771) China phones that can be had for a bit of change at every corner nowadays. It features a fairly non-clutter generic Android 10 ROM.

I bought it because of good feature/price ratio. I also like the fairly idiot-proof MTK Preloader/SP Flash Tool combo and expected no big problems having the phone patched. Apparently that estimate was wrong.

I extracted the boot.img (at exactly 32768k) and started patching it with the latest Magisk Manager (8.0.4). When set to "Stable" the patched result came out less than 12Megs which struck me as very odd, so I did not bother trying to flash that and switched to "beta". Et voila, out came a patched image that appeared to have just the right size.

Unfortunately, after flashing the patched image, the device detected a modified boot signature and flagged "Red State, rebooting in 5s", effectively entering a boot loop. Going back to stock, then unlocking the bootloader with fastboot and reflashing patched boot changed the "Red State" to "Orange State" but the boot loop persisted.

The boot loop message also suggests to either reflash stock or "disable verified boot". Yeah, but... Magisk Manager 8.0.4 seems to have lost the "Advanced Options" menu that had been there in previous versions, allowing users to toggle dmverity while patching boot images... so I wonder how to get around this!? Any suggestions?
[Magisk] black_knight_:
Any solution for this, or any suggestions to try??
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Have you tried this?

https://xdaforums.com/t/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-disk-quota-disabler-11-2-2020.3817389/
[Magisk] Bitmixer:
Thanks for your suggestion but it seems like this requires TWRP and, as far as I know, no TWRP recovery is available for the BV6300 Pro.
[Magisk] -CALIBAN666-:
You have to unlock your bootloader FIRST and not after.Start from scratch and it will work,im sure.Cheers!!!
[Magisk] -CALIBAN666-:
First make the new,i mean flash fresh firmware blablabla.Extract your firmware,copy boot img to phone,install magisk manager and patch the boot img(im sure you can do it without root(on my Redmi 9 it works),copy patched boot imhg to pc and use adb to flash,but be sure your bootloader is unlocked before.Good luck.
[Magisk] black_knight_:
We must unlock the bootloader with fastboot mode or we can do it through developer options??
[Magisk] -CALIBAN666-:
Fastboot
[Magisk] black_knight_:
Bitmixer have you manage to root your phone?

Because i still get a bootloop when flashing the patched boot image...
[Magisk] -CALIBAN666-:
Did you flashed vbmeta.img ,thats important.
[Magisk] black_knight_:
DId you mean to follow the guide of : https://xdaforums.com/t/...ncrypt-disk-quota-disabler-11-2-2020.3817389/ so we can disable verified boot, because that requires twrp and it is no supported on our device.

Or something else?? And where we find vbmeta.img that disable verified boot?
[Magisk] -CALIBAN666-:
Ive flashed vbmeta with adb on my phones,like my Redmi 9,when you dont have vbmeta i think u cant do anything with flashing something,just google for it or look here for it,good luck!!!

The sound setting could not be changed, it always f.c. Ringtone, notification are all preset.

Average Ram usage is about 2.8G to 3.4G. quite good and smooth.

ANX camera and Camera Go both are working fine. Probably this is the first ANX camera work on A11 for Begonia. Well done!
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] UnDevelopedDeveloper21:
Hey. Does all the feature of camera work? like is the 64mp cam working in the ANXcamera?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] kirinin:
ANXcamera: Yes.

Most of the function works well, there are some still may not work like Portrait (F.C.).

64MP can be selected at "More".

Using AIDA64 to check, it is still 16 MP cam.

This 64 MP is probably done by software to increase from 16 MP to 64Mp, not a real 64MP.

Front cam is still problem, mostly probably need a hardware update to be released by Xiaomi.

HI, i recently installed this rom in my device and i must say it's the most stable and fast rom i've tasted so far. I've just had some trouble with the notification let not working and sometimes data signal goes from LTE to 3g without reason. Nevertheless keep up the good work. Thanx. Greetings from Colombia
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] NextWorksDev:
Thanks for reporting this issues in next roms i hope to fix this.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] jeane_uglypish:
I just have a problem with the cameras... When I flash this buffer fix in Magisk, all of the cameras crash or force close. I'm hoping to use trcamera because it's the most stable camera app I have used out of the others. I can still use trcamera in this ROM but without the buffer fix.

Edit: I hope the SafetyNet issues will be fixed too. SafetyNet fails even with MagiskHide being enabled. This might be fixed using the MagiskHideProps module.

Keep up the good work! This is the best looking ROM I tried so far.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] NextWorksDev:
Thanks you for your post i'm sorry for this issues but in next version i will fix it. :D it was only an initial build

Loving this ROM NextWorks!!

A few things I noticed with the last build: sometimes WiFi would stop signing in and I would have to reboot to fix it. Magisk SafetyNet fails with an API error. If you choose ANX portrait mode it loop crashes until you force close. Someone in my contacts called me yesterday and it displayed as Unknown.

Not sure if any of these are ROM related! Installing your new build now, BRAVO
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] NextWorksDev:
Hi,sir all bugs you reported is your fault because of safetynet fails is because you don't flash gapps and ANX isn't included so report to the dev of ANX the bugs and for wifi i will see and if you have some problems with stock dialer use google dialer :D (i release the new version btw so flash it is non cfw)

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] grnbits:
I can only stay in fastboot for 30 seconds then it reboots? Fastboot shows no devices but adb does. Now my internal storage is encrypted in TWRP I think due to wiping vendor.

DOH :LOL: I'll see if I can't figure out what's going on, appreciate all your help!
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] NextWorksDev:
if you need some help you can see some tutorial on youtube about how to flash non cfw roms
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] grnbits:
I was able to fix the fastboot issue but am not seeing anything about flashing a non cfw zip.

Is the fastboot command "fastboot flash boot zipname.zip" or does each img file have to be flashed separately?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] NextWorksDev:
but you flashed miui or no?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] grnbits:
MIUI hasn't been flashed, that is what I'm asking about
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] NextWorksDev:
you need to install mi flash and with mi flash put miui

I was wondering i tried a lot of ROM, so it's not only yours, but often randomly Mobile Data disabled and have to restart the phone to work again but for example when i tried the Project Sakura v4.R rom no problem with that (the one with the VNDK30 build)

My favorite ROM everything works I clean flashed a dirty flash over DOTos worked but a few issues so I decided to do a totally new clean flash. Magik no issues passed basic with no FP change, I did flash qt-mem-opt but always do it just works on any ROM. Thank you guys very nice and finally an A11 rom that isn't broken.... and the NVRAM warning is just annoying it doesn't actually do anything or break anything...
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] NextWorksDev:

Some of the ROMs for this device are frustrating. The devs are not there and don't answer questions, but @NextWorksDev seems to be pretty active here. Maybe I'll switch to RevengeOS.

Just a couple of questions.

1. This is a non-CFW ROM, but the instructions say > (recommended CFW 3.1)

Which is it?

2. Does non-CFW mean that it's possible to brick the device if I do something wrong?

Thanks.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] UnDevelopedDeveloper21:
Up here is with the link of latest guide to flash the nonCFW rom
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] xdabushrang3r:
Thanks for the reply but I'm not asking

how

to flash it. I know how to flash it.

My questions are:

1. This is a non-CFW ROM, but the instructions say > (recommended CFW 3.1)

Which is it?

2. Does non-CFW mean that it's possible to brick the device if I do something wrong?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] alexmanu1:
Hi there.

1. The original post is not updated. See the "Guide Flashing" from the latest update post.

2. Yes, you can brick if you do stupid stuff. Non-CFW is possible because now we can unbrick whatever we do wrong , using the new method. I don't think the new method is here on XDA. You can find it on the telegram group.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] NextWorksDev:
sorry sir, if i reply now me was busy btw is a non cfw ROM follow the guide and you don't have bricks
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] NextWorksDev:
Thanks you,sir for your reply.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] xdabushrang3r:
Thank you for the replies gentlemen. I appreciate it.

@NextWorksDev

Could you please update the OP?

e.g.

1. The download link is for the old CFW version.

2. Please add the information from the telegram flashing guide.

3. Please add links to miui 12, twrp etc. I don't have telegram so I can't get the link you posted for miui 12.

One extra question:

Does the ROM include the app lock feature?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] NextWorksDev:
Bro i push the update you need to see on replies i put too the telegraph guide. post (the firmware you can pick on xiaomifirmwareupdater if you want) begonia firmware/begonian firmware
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] xdabushrang3r:
Thank you for the reply.

Why does everyone think I don't understand?

Yes, thank you. I

know

that you put an update in the replies, but the title of this thread is NON-CFW, and then the OP has a download link for an old CFW version of the ROM.

Do you not think this is contradictory and confusing?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] NextWorksDev:
Nope because the rom in original it was CFW and now is NON-CFW but i updated it.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] xdabushrang3r:
The title and the OP don't match. That is confusing my friend.

OK. Hopefully no one gets confused because they read the title (Non-CFW) and downloads the ROM in the OP (which is cfw).

Does the ROM have the app lock feature? I can't wait to try it out.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] NextWorksDev:
no,the app lock feature nope bro
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] jeane_uglypish:
The ROM has many improvements.

The buffer fix works now with trCamera

Safetynet passed just by enabling MagiskHide

My 128gb SD card works as an external memory. I don't know if the OS formatted it as exFAT or FAT32. Flash drives with exFAT format are also readable. This is actually an issue to A11 ROMs; They don't support exFAT type

I can play hard MOBA games in high graphics with no glitches so far

I just want to point out the share icon from icon 6 in recents; it looks weird.

View attachment 5224015

Also, it's weird choosing accent color in styles but users don't actually have a choice cause either it's gonna be black or white only depending on the theme.

I will use this as daily driver and let you know if I'll be facing some minor/major bugs. Keep up the good work! This is a great ROM!
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] NextWorksDev:
Thanks for reporting some issues i will report to lead dev of revengeos :D btw enjoy the rom bro :)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] jeane_uglypish:
Thanks. I really do enjoy the rom and thank you for bringing revengeos to the begonia world (y) pro!
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] NextWorksDev:
No problem :D i'm very happy for this
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] xdabushrang3r:
I've got another question.

In the flashing instructions, it says:

Does this mean to flash the firmware in recovery?

The instructions for flashing DotOS say to flash the firmware in fastboot.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] jeane_uglypish:
Flash MIUI 12 firmware first (flash/clean all) then install twrp and do the cleaning and installing procedure. If you get a NVRAM error on your WiFi, follow the procedure given from the quoted link below.

EDIT: Flash MIUI in fastboot
