[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
So I tried fastboot flashing unlock_critical just now, and it fails and says Device already : unlocked!

I am finding that these instructions for restoring the OnePlus 8T do not work at all for the OnePlus 9. My phone boots straight to fastboot on slot a, and if I try fastboot reboot fastboot, it fails to boot to fastboot userspace.

On slot b, it will boot to fastboot userspace, which allows me to flash the partitions I extracted from the payload.bin, BUT the list of files is not the same as for the 8T. I flashed the ones that were in list, and a couple more that had similar names as missing ones, but it's still not a complete list. At no point have I done 'fastboot -w' as I don't want to wipe userspace.

I'm also not sure if I should try to flash every file it extracted to the equivalent partition name, as the instructions for the 8T don't do that.
[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
Thanks, didn't work unfortunately.
[OnePlus 9] toyanucci:
I had a similar situation with the 7T (and 8T lol) and used the info from the link as a guide to flashing every partition. I did have to wipe the phone though but in the end it booted up which was the biggest concern I had
[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
Did you try it without wiping first?
[OnePlus 9] toyanucci:
I did 😐. It only worked after following the instructions and installing every partition
[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
Okay, so I tried flashing every file in fastboot (non-userspace) to slot a, results:

not allowed, critical partition:
abl
aop
bluetooth
devcfg
dsp
featenabler
hyp
imagefv
keymaster
multiimgoem
qupfw
tz
uefisecapp
xbl
xbl_config

partition not found:
product
system
system_ext
vendor

no such partition:
odm

success:
boot
cpucp
dtbo
modem
oplusstanvbk
oplus_sec
qweslicstore
shrm
splash
vbmeta
vbmeta_vendor
vbmeta_system
vendor_boot
vm-bootsys

After that, I can 'fastboot reboot fastboot' to get into fastboot userspace successfully, which is an improvement, as that previously didn't work in slot a.

Once in fastboot userspace, I can successfully flash all partitions that failed before due to being critical. However, the remaining partitions after that -- odm, product, system, system_ext, and vendor -- all fail with the same error:

FAILED (remote: 'No such file or directory')

This is odd as I tried flashing product, system, system_ext and vendor in slot b, and it worked without any errors.
[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
I tried to reboot into recovery from fastboot userspace to see if I could sideload the full zip instead, but now I seem to be REALLY stuck, because the screen has gone black and the phone won't respond to any keypresses. I know it's still powered on because adb can see it when it's connected to USB, but it's unauthorized so I can't do anything.

Holding volume up + power will cause it to reboot, and I get the unlocked bootloader warning screen, then it goes black again.
[OnePlus 9] toyanucci:
Did you do fastboot -w like in the instructions?
[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
No, though I feel like I should've now. I was going to try it as a last resort, but now I'm not able to get back into fastboot, so I don't know what I'm going to do.
[OnePlus 9] toyanucci:
It may be booting to the wrong partition. Have you tried the fastboot button combination?
[OnePlus 9] toyanucci:
Switch off your OnePlus One.

Now press and hold the Power + Volume Up buttons simultaneously until you see the Fastboot text on your device.

You can switch off by holding Vol+, Vol- and Power until it vibrates
[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
I can't switch it off :)

The only key press it will respond to is holding volume up + power for 10 seconds, which will force it to reboot and then it goes back to the black screen.
[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
I'm back into fastboot. I don't know what I did but eventually holding volume up + power booted into fastboot.
[OnePlus 9] toyanucci:
OK great, try the instructions starting with fastboot -w 🥲
[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
One more thing I'm gonna try first - slot b.
[OnePlus 9] toyanucci:
Really praying it works...as I said I've been in the same position and it's not a fun place to be 🥲
[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
I think the error I'm getting when it fails to boot is because it can't decrypt the user partition. So probably no way around wiping.

[OnePlus 9] toyanucci:
How's it going after wiping?
[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
Just finished flashing everything, it appears to be booting successfully. I've got the red dot with the circling white dots, which I wasn't seeing before. It is taking a long time though.

Edit: Booted successfully into OxygenOS.
[OnePlus 9] toyanucci:
😃😃😃😃

My first time doing it I had the SAME issues and it was because I didn't wipe too. Glad you're back in business bro lol
[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
Me too. Next hurdle is updating to 11.2.4.4 and then rooting. And then restoring my phone back to the way it was set up before :cry:

Thanks for sticking with me the whole way, your help was much appreciated!
[OnePlus 9] toyanucci:
Just remember when rooting do fastboot boot boot.img so you can have a backup of 11.2.4.4 stock kernel to restore when the next OTA comes out.

Someone helped me yesterday so it's only fair I pay it fwd lol
[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
Yeah, I didn't do that the first time I rooted, and regretted it.

Though I don't have a magisk patched 11.2.4.4 to boot from, and I'm not sure which of the images you gave me is the correct 11.2.4.4 stock either.
[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
Successfully updated to 11.2.4.4. I guess incremental OTA updates with an unlocked bootloader ARE possible. Sigh :)
[OnePlus 9] toyanucci:
You can boot with 11.2.3.3 patched image. That's what I used today then let magisk backup and patch the stock 11.2.4.4
[OnePlus 9] toyanucci:
Yes they are, but only with stock boot image so that's why it's important to have it!
[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
Yeah, that's what wasn't working for me though, which is what lead to this whole debacle.
[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
I was able to compare the SHA1 hashes of the boot.img files you gave me to the stock ones I had, and one of them matched 11.2.3.3. So I assumed the other one had to be 11.2.4.4. I used Magisk to patch it, booted it with fastboot, and now I'm not sure if I should choose "Direct Install" or "Install to Inactive Slot".
[OnePlus 9] reaper000:
Direct install
[OnePlus 9] toyanucci:
As long as you had done fastboot boot boot.img then direct install which will let magisk backup the stock 11.2.4.4 itself and patch it and install the patch
[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
Okay, I did direct install and it hasn't exploded. I think we are good.
[OnePlus 9] reaper000:
@Slikkster2k, would you mind listing all the components from payload.bin that you now successfully flashed using fastboot flash in bootloader mode? I know it's quite a list, but I have an idea that might be worth pursuing (and I'd give you credit if it gets posted)

Thanks and good job!
[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
I was thinking of doing that already, should I reply here or make a new post?
[OnePlus 9] reaper000:
Just reply here is fine, it fits with the thread content and could be totally helpful to someone following along.
[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
https://xdaforums.com/t/restore-oneplus-9-to-stock-via-fastboot-commands.4265153/ I made a guide.
[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
Well, I blew up my phone again (accidentally). Same as before, OTA updates would not work, it would flash the update, reboot, and still be on the same version. I updated Magisk this morning as there was a new release, and decided to try the OTA again... apparently that was a mistake, because it wouldn't boot at all after that and I had to wipe and restore.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] adealey:
I've looked around here and haven't seen anything about doing this, so I'm assuming it is not possible but...

Is there any way to remove the various pieces of AT&T bloatware on the Tilt without having to hard-reset the device? I've already done a lot of program loads & configuration and would hate to be forced to redo all of it if I can avoid it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Corpsegrinder:
I got my fingers crossed for this as well. Reinstalling the apps is such a pita.

I used this for removing plugins. it works well but I'm not to sure if it removes the files associated with the plug in.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stesul411:
You could dump the ROM and remove anything you don't want or need, it's called COOKING. You could look into on of Not A Treo Fans' cooked AT&T based ROMS in the developers forum and then reload your personal apps. There are ways to automatically load custom apps automatically after you do ROM upgrade, all you have to do is look and read.

Besides half the fun of these devices is tinkering with them.

Hello everyone, I changed my Redmi K20 Pro password but I stopped using it and forgot the password. Is there a way to clear TWRP's password, uninstall TWRP or even change the phone's recovery back to stock? Anything to regain access to the phone. Thanks for the help!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
If you mean the lockscreen security password/PIN, then there's no solution that won't allow you to keep the data currently on the phone. The simplest solution is to format the data partition in TWRP. In this case is doesn't matter that you don't know the lockscreen password when entering TWRP. Just hit OK and you'll get a message saying it failed to decrypt the partition, but afterwards you'll still be able to format the data partition.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] HenriqueMarrocos:
Thank you Robbo.5000. I had already formatted Dalvik, Cache, System, Vendor, Data and Internal Storage but I didn't pay attention to the Format Data button on the previous screen. Problem solved!

Hi all,

This topic is particularly directed towards ROM chefs, although anyone who has an answer pertaining to it by all means should participate.

I would like to create a chef-friendly ROM, like Laurentius' released a while back. The reason for this would be that I would have my base if I ever managed to mess it up, and I could share my bases with this wonderful community.

I've heard that the .rgus and .dsms must be included, but do not have a clue how to do this.

Any help?

thanks guys
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bram_smulders:
Yes, i would like to participate.

In the diamond forums i posted some sort of question also, about why the current roms are locked down.

Some guys say that is for space en free memory reasons, but why do i see the message "Go build your own rom" in allmost every rom when i dump it?

I don't intend to steal, and if i get a package out of someones rom i'll ask it first.

I'd like to see a more open forum(like the good old days) not that every dev is hiding their findings.

So i'm in for it!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mbarvian:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mbarvian:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
Send a PM to Its Right. He makes the TNT roms. He resides mostly in the hermes and wizard forums. He knows the answer to your question.

I totally agree with what your doing. I remember the good old days when packages and roms were shared freely. My kitchen is so far out of date its sad.

I would love to see a nice happy base. I would also love to see a new set of packages available.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kareeem:
I wouldn't mind participating in this "project" at all. I would love to share my base and even make OEMs if needed. Perhaps we can make a huge list of most commonly used OEMs (latest version) and split them among the chefs who would like to participate in this.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
I honestly think a collection of OEMs is long overdue. I have a few newer packages that I would gladly contribute. I have been working on a new rom which will be the first one ive publically released.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gullum:
my roms are always dumpable

look at the new manila2d roms they were looked but we managed to get everything out of it anyway just took us alot more time to get it the realy nesasary.

and by removing the rgu and dsm files you free maybe areound 1 mb prob less.

ok the windowsfolder loads faster but how often are we looking in the windows folder? I rarely do.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kareeem:
I only look there when i have to edit stuff like the start menu and i actually tend to test the speed of a ROM by going there and seeing how fast it loads. Anyhow, it opens up a lot faster in Reso Explorer since it omits system, rom, etc. files.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] -888-:
Great idea.

I would go step further - common web place for all OEMs (bases etc) where everyone could contribute to and dnld from.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bram_smulders:
I think we should make a kitchen pantry, just like in the wizard forums.

A place where we enlist bases, oems, cabs, tweaks, and cooking tricks.

A place where users can post their oems to rapidshare or whatever, and post the links here.

Then the mods or threadstarters post those links with info on the first page.

idea?

lets work it out.

I'll setup the base thread within a short hour.

so keep in touch
