so there really is a fastboot? right then you can just use i if you want
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
I don't KNOW IF THERE IS A FASTBOOT OR NOT + I'll use sp flash tool because this is the tool that I trust
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
OK, I read what u typed

I've tried the bootless root ( mtk easy su) since the phone was in security patch ( a.42) and the phone was Goodwood

But , OK , I'll try flashing the patched boot.img this time , if the phone bricks , I'll flash the normal boot.img , right ??
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
OK, I'll do this tonight .

if my dad see "your device is untrusted and the bootloader is umlocked" he will k!ll meeeeeee because of "UNTRUSTED"

what can i do to make this disappear?
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:

I mean , the flashing mission
[General Questions and Answers] Anonymous V:
i've researched this a couple of times so i can really tell, i've studying for about 2 years for some things in android in order to root my previous phone thats why i know this kind of things too so let me tell you why its safer to install patched_boot.img than installing superSU in the system .first of all the reason why its safer to root using boot image its because its easy to fix whenever something got screwed up because it didnt modify anything in the system only in boot image which a symlink to the file system too,boot image contains same folders that root fs has too its called Ramdisk it contains all the same folder in the root fs which is symlink to each other thats why if the boot image is patched or what ever mod did you do in the boot image will affect the system too but its much safer because its only symlink which means its connected but not physically ( you got what i mean? ) so thats why its safer because when you restore the boot image into stock it will erase the mod that you did in the boot image and it will disappear too in the system when it boots with out damaging anything or if ever you install some mods in your phone that requires root the it damages the phone like its not booting because of the mod and the root then you can remove the root by restoring boot into stock and update your phone then it will be fixed easily without losing data in the other hand if you root your phone bootlessly or so called system rooting it will be dangerous and crucial because it modifies the system to be specific it will modify the folder root/system/bin and root/system/xbin and other folder depending what kind of root did you use thats why if something got screwed up in the phone like its not boot you cant fix it with out losing any data so now i hope you understand it now why its much safer.

[General Questions and Answers] Anonymous V:
i remember now you can actually solve this problem if this occured but this line your device is untrusted is quiet wrong if you ever successfully unlock the bootloader there should be somthing will appear in the booting process like this The phone has been unlocked and cannot be trusted, booting in 5 seconds.......... this is the correct line and btw you can fix this i just remembered now but i never tried it because im too lazy to do it in my phone heehe an by the way you said that the this line will appear in your phone your device is untrusted dont worry it wont only in booting procces :)

[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Sorrrrrrry , the booting message was appearing ,but i just didn't type the whole message , it made me choose to boot between " Reboot " and " E10 mode" but i don't know what E10 mode is!

( Note that i chose the reboot and it booted me to the normal os)

Also , to get confirmation about the bootloader , i went to settings > more options > Developer Options > allow to unlock bootloader and i surprised that I can't control it because it wrote under the switch that the BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED 🎉
[General Questions and Answers] Anonymous V:
yes apparantly its normal especialy in oppo phones even my phone is like that and E10 is recovery mode of oppo :) and also does the message The phone has been unlocked and cannot be trusted, booting in 5 seconds.......... appeared while you boot into your phone? and also did you successfully root your phone?
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Firstly: it made me WAIT FOR 30 SECONDS OF FEARING AND TREMBLING WHEN I TRIED TO UNLOCK IT USING MTK CLIENT TOOL BUT , ok I've unlocked it successfully

Secondly : My Dad Took the phone with him 🥲
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
I should wait him come back between 1:00 a.m and 3:30 a.m 🙂😭
[General Questions and Answers] Anonymous V:
well done in unlocking your bootloader👏👏 we really had a same reaction ahahha but why did your dad took it dont you have your own phone?
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
His phone "Samsung J7 pro" has a problem with the screen and he fixed it millions of times and he payed toooooo much to fix this until he spent for fixing it more than the price he spent to buy this phone

Sooooo , he takes my phone and gives it to me when he come back from his work
[General Questions and Answers] Anonymous V:
ohhh i see its for contacting in that case please i encourage you to backup all important data of the phone such as pictures,contacts video and etc...... store it somewhere safe so the time something got screwed up you can restore it into normal and also backup your whole rom too just in case
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

FINALLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'VE DOWNGRADED IT AND FLASHED THE PATCHED BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.IMG

but, some problems faced me after flashing :

1- Google ordered my last pin , i wrote the RIGHT ONE , but it says that the password was wrong , so i did an FRP process using mtk client and TADAAA , added my google account and here i return to my normal os

2- the icons were SO BIG , but i've fixed it by a recent backup for the system ( i forgot some apps🙆‍♂️)

now i'm downloading it again from google play🥲

3- some files were on pc ( they were on the phone ) , their coping speed was tooooooooooooooo sloooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww

but 75% of files were copied successfully!

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut , i thought of myself as a dumb guy , why ?

because i could have flashed the boot.img without downgrading the phone , but it's Ok because there is no difference .
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
okkk
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
OH , i forgot to flash the preloader.bin file but to phone worked normally , should i flash this file ??
[General Questions and Answers] Anonymous V:
no its ok not too flash it :) so did you root it succesfully?
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Yep , but my dad ABSOLUTELY WILL KILL ME , THERE ARE SOME DATA OF SOME APPS WERE REMOVED ( I couldn't have a backup for them 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️)
[General Questions and Answers] Anonymous V:
ohhh i see thats too bad, just reinstall them and everything wil be good but data removed? how? u just flash the patched.img so there shouldnt be anything removed in the system
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
OK, now you should now HELP MEEEEE

I can't Realize how but my phone received an OTA update ( as I downgraded my phone , AND ALSO THE PHONE IS ROOOOOOOTTTEEEEDDDDD) , soon, I'm afraid that the phone gets bricked or the root ( magisk ) gets removed from the phone

But , this isn't big main problem

The BIG problem is that my dad discovered that my phone has been downgraded and received an update , I removed the notification, but he knew that I removed the notification, he told me that HE'LL UPGRADE IT WHATEVER I DO , and gone to his work

WHAT THE HECK SHOULD I DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 🙂🙂🙂🙂
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
No , I flashed the whole rom with the patched boot.img and the data is gone , but my luck was good , his whatsapp was In multiple accounts app , I backed up his data using virtual backup and boooom , his data is saved but mine nooo 🥲
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Also , I could download the latest flashable firmware update from oppostockrom.com ( That my dad will install🥲)and take the boot.img file from it , patch it and then flash it , but will it apply , or it does nothing , or the phone gets bricked ?!

And will the data gets removed again !???
[General Questions and Answers] Anonymous V:
so you want to upgrade it then just upgrade it, then re flash the magisk_patched.img and everything will be good we have thye same problem waht i did is just upgrade the phone to latest then reflash the patched image then done

:)
[General Questions and Answers] Anonymous V:
atleast you saved his data and you just save your self from the dooms day ahahahahah btw does your data really that important?
[General Questions and Answers] Anonymous V:
this is what im telling you why PATCHING BOOT IMAGE IS SAFER THAN MODIFYING THE SYSTEM! modifying the system without consideration will surely screw up the phoen but since you only patched and modify the image and not the system so evrything will be good. to answer your question you can download the rom and flash it then grab the boot image from the rom that you downloaded then patched it and flash it then everything will be good no data loss and no bricking phone ITS BECAUSE YOU DIDNT MODIFY THE SYSTEM ONLY THE BOOT AND IF EVER THE PHONE IS SCREWED UP OR YOU CANT BOOT BECAUSE OF THE ROOT THEN REFLASH THE STOCK BOOT AND EVERYTHING WILL BE OK! so just chill bro your good here.
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:

[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
HOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

OF course if dad upgrades it , he'll see the message and YELLING AT ME FOR THIS , but , there will be 2 choices :

1- dad will give me the phonw with getting at me and i will be forced to remove the message ( with relocking the bootloader or with your help )

2- dad will hide the phone from me ( as the phone bricked but it's noooooooooooooooot)

also , HE SHOULD KNOW THAT THE FRICKING PHONE WILL WORK ALTHOUGH THIS MESSAGE APPEAR OR NOT , BUT HE DOESN'T TRUST MEEEEEEEEE:)🥲
[General Questions and Answers] Anonymous V:
there a way apparently i will try it to yours i can remove the message in booting process what you nee to do is download the rom of your phone not the ota one ok! the other one then grab the filecalled lk.bin or a file called lk.img then send it to me here i will modify it then i will let you flash it to remove the message

hey dude heres the modified lk.bin flash this to your phone then after flashing comeback here and tell me if did it work ok!
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
He didn't install it , but the notification is ANNOYING, I CAN'T HIDE IT WHATEVER I DID

Also , is there a boot.img extractor from the current rom in the phone ?
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Because i want to save time instead of downloading a flashable stock rom( the latest verison )and extract then patch the boot.img , booooooooorrrriiiiinnnnggggg
[General Questions and Answers] Anonymous V:
is your phone rooted right now? if so you cant use that to patched the image like i said download the whole update rom then flash it btw you can use the boot image that came from the ota package because its the same, then you can use it to patched it and then flash it then after that flash the modified lk.bin to fix your boot process text
[General Questions and Answers] Anonymous V:
its ok dont download the flashable rom just use the boot image from the ota package then patched it ok
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
but wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i searched it in ota apps data and NOTHING HERE !
[General Questions and Answers] Anonymous V:
no youve got it wrong what i mean is to download the ota package manually here --------> https://support.oppo.com/ph/software-update/

find your phone there and download the firmware update its much lighter that the flashable stock rom after youve done it open the zip file and youll see a boot image then you can use that for patching also this update rom is important because it will help you to repair if the phone got soft brick

I've downloaded a frimware from this website , but DUDE IT HAS NO VALID SCATTER FILE

+ Those are folders , not .img files
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Oooooh

So u mean that i install this from my phone recovery mode ....

BRUUUUUHHHH

this is an idea out of box

But still removes boot.img file
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Also , if i updated the frimware automatically ( that dad downloaded) , will this remove the patch in boot.img ?

+ Also , i read a way to back up ( take the boot file from the current installed rom) using adb
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
It should be :

Yeas it may remove the root but Dude first of all its a very easy problem like i said just download and install the OTA update that i told you then in the ota package that you downloaded you can find a boot.img you can use that for the magisk ang patched it after doing so you can flash yiur patched_boot.img to gain root access again that easy right and also yoi said before you jave trouble in the boot screen right? Abou tge untrusted issue text right? The. Flash the modified lk.img that i gave you to fix it and after that boom everything is good i do hope that you can read this
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
i knooooooooooooooow

but what about taking the boot file from the current systeeeeeeeeeeeeeem ( after updateeeeeee)

+ is it normal that magisk isn't a system app after patching the boot.img ??????
[General Questions and Answers] Anonymous V:
look dude you dont need to get the boot file from the current system because its going to disappear anyway when you update the phone thats why is ask you to get the boot.img in the ota package that i told you to download and patched with magisk then flash it to regain root access again but what about taking the boot file from the current systeeeeeeeeeeeeeem ( after updateeeeeee) to answer this question, you dont need to

because its going to disappear anyway when you update the phone it will turn into stock boot image thats why you dont need to get it and that why i told you use the boot image from the ota package that i told you. is it normal that magisk isn't a system app after patching the boot.img ?????? to answer this question, of course yes its very normal that the magisk is and external app or an external package that can be downloaded unless you turn it into system app it will really turn into system app but i wont recommend you that you might ****ed up your phone, but you can ussually found a system app magisk in a custom rom though
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
First : I mean to EXTRACT THE..... ooooh , S*** OK, I've discovered now that I can't reach the boot.img after the update as it removes the root so I can't reach it , FRICK IT !

Secondly: I can't reach to a flashable rom ( oppo stock rom .com ) because THE ROM IS UPLOADED IN GOOGLE DRIVE AND THE FILE ACHIEVED THE MAXIMUM DOWNLOAD TIMES 🙂

So , I can't download a flashable update ( using sp flash toooool)

Thirdly : oh , I am a senior member !!
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
* edit

I escaped from the maximum download limit

I'm downloading it now

Although I don't know if they were like the same a.42 firmware files ( as those files are .img files ) but I don't know if THE FRIMWARE I DOWNLOAD NOW LOOKS LIKE THIS OR NOT 😶
