[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Aelliaria:
So I have 10 years of experience of rooting phones and flashing roms etc and I think this is the first time I really bricked my phone and until now did not find i solution my self.

So how got it bricked: I was on my work, in a bit of a hurry and wanted to update my phone (dirty flash) through TWRP but the installation hanged at the last 1% or such. I let it sit for 30 min. still hangs so decided to abort and do a clean flash but again the update hangs (maybe bad download?) but along the way (probably because I was at work and didn't take the time) I think I ****ed up switching partitions or something and now I have no OS installed on my.

I can boot in to Fastboot mode, TWRP EDL mode and such

But I can't flash an new OS through TWRP because it says the following: Unable to find Partition for path '/system_root' (will post screenshot when I get home from work ;) )

I tried MSM tool but until now I could not get the tool to see my Phone so now I am calling for the help of the XDA Community!

So do you guys have any suggestions wich wil unbrick my phone?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] kjslabber:
Try running msm from different port on your pc. Preferably a 2.0 usb if you have. Many times makes a difference. Also make sure your adb drivers are updated to latest. Many threads around talk about it.

Extracted boot file from original oneplus rom, flashed that with fastboot and like magic my problem was solved

Dear all,

I like all of your ROMs very much, but i found most of your ROMs didn't include the MS Office, or just include the MS Word and Excel only.

But we need the MS Powerpoint all the time and we have to install the full version MS Office again.

we have to reinstall the MS Office again and again if we found something is wrong with our units then have to do a hard reset.

So can you ROMs maker include the Powerpoint in the new ROMs you will make in the future?

many Thanks.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] Ather:
The powerpoint is avaliable seperately as a CAB somewhere in the forum, do a search and you will find it...no need of seperate thread :)

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] tangwd898:
Hi Ather,

i am wondering what not include this useful program we use everyday in the ROM instead of some program sounds good but no so many people use?

by the way, i have tried many time to search a single powerpoint file in CAB format but no luck. i just only can find the full MS Office suit in CAB format.

can you advise a working link?

many thanks.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] jaytheguru:
Hello if you look at C_Sheckar ROM it has separate .cab file.

Anyhow here it is [please see attached file]

You can also put only CAB file into your ExtROM and then each time you have to do it you can have it automatically.

is it possible to cook a 6.1 rom that supports the xda ii backpack?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] jaytheguru:
Theseas I don't think this is the right place to ask this question (place means this thread because it has been already answered.)

Please either ask your question in another thread or create a new one to get a quick answer.

As far as your question is concern I am not sure if 6.1 can support xdaii backpack.

[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] stevec5000:
When this Moto G7 on T-Mobile is first turned on it says "Network Lock" click OK. There doesn't seem to be any way to unlock it and I don't mean locked to the carrier, it's just Locked, Period! It will only work on Wi-Fi.

I did a lot of Googling and couldn't find anything about Network Unlocking, they all talked about using a code to unlock the carrier but I'm not concerned with that, if it would just work on T-Mobile again that would be OK. Tried a different SIM but that didn't work and it never gives me the option to enter a code either, just to click OK and go on.

Does anyone know what this means, what caused it and more importantly how to clear the lock? Thanks.
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] stevec5000:
Got it unlocked! There was an Unlock app hidden in the System file area but that wouldn't do it. I did a Reset, then set it to Airplane mode before putting in the T-Mobile SIM then tried it and it works now without the Network Lock.

After doing this, will the updates come from oneplus as usual?

Yes, but i not test to Upgrade
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Eastw1ng:
Hey thanks for the reply, my question was mostly if this is the stock rom for the oneplus nord 2, or is this a different rom made compatible?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] sakarya1980:
Stock, not custom
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] sakarya1980:
I tested. You must flash without root, then can you upgrade @xirosiman
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] sakarya1980:
Flash at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage or data loss to the device during this process!​

Please use this commands

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta2.img

Fastboot flash boot nord2_stock_boot_A07.img
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] xirosiman:
ok i managed to make it run.

when all is done, it can not boot.

i managed to flash the boot.img from the other thread in order to make it run.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] sakarya1980:
You must flash vbmeta2 then boot.img

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta2.img

Do you try v10? You can not flash from v7 to v10 and please check your driver
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] xirosiman:
ok i have done it. Somehow the wifi toggle wasnt working but after flashing vbmeta and boot its ok.

i managed to go to A7 stock and now is updating to A10.

One thing i noticed, the combination of volume down and start button has changed only to fastboot.

And the only way to go to recovery is from command

also it can not recognise the sim cards

and the updade through ota is failed. it can not verify says
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] sakarya1980:
You can't update from 7 to 10. You must flash ota file with v9, then Upgrade to 10.

Wlan and Bluetooth works, after flash v7 again

Here ota files

https://mega.nz/folder/rQhhHQpA#nNHvPlmzBXwPjmaFpuDa2Q

Please put both file to your otg storage and flash it, with stock recovery. Every time after flash vbmeta2

You can start recovery with fastboot reboot recovery
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] xirosiman:
Downgrading from 10 to 7 was not successful. Even if the rom works it can not recognise the sim cards.

Now i am flasing 10 to see if it works

during flashing its says "Invalid sparse file format at header magic" do this has something to do with drivers?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] sakarya1980:
dont abort this. Invalid sparse file format at header magic" is normal, but you must wait ...
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Eastw1ng:
Did a full upgrade from stock 07 to 09 then 10, went perfectly.

Thanks Sakarya!
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] sakarya1980:
Hi, good :) ota flash 07 to 09?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Eastw1ng:
Yeah OTA flash from 07 to 09, then a flash from 09 to 10 and followed up with the rooted boot image to make sure everything was as you described. Works flawlessly!

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] sakarya1980:
Works?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] NigthNoob:
Not really. The fingerprint program is not working. The phone just starts vibrating. I was also able to install Magisk, and then I tried to install busybox, but busybox was not installed, although the root rights were there.

TWRP started up when I entered the 'adb reboot recovery' command and seems to work.

Now I will try to reinstall magisk via twrp ...
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] sakarya1980:
Oh, you can try my images from here. I think it is a vendor or Kernel failure. You must use the boot.img from your variant IND or EEA

I'm getting the same issue, where it says:

The current image (boot / recovery) have been destroyed and can not boot. Please flash the correct image or contact customer service to fix it.

I have EEA variant, which image should I flash? Also I want to keep the bootloader locked, is this possible with this method?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] sakarya1980:
Hi,

the bootloader must be unlocked. You must wait for official oneplus unbrick tool release for closing bootloader. until then you have to wait
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] NigthNoob:
Hi @sakarya1980 ! Please help me to restore the functionality of my phone. I tried to flash the phone again with the 'Fastboot flash boot boot.img' command, but it only made things worse. There is nothing on the screen except the wallpaper and nothing can be done.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] sakarya1980:
Hi, do you make factory reset? which version did you have before you flashed? Your logfile looks good, no failures
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] NigthNoob:
It's strange, but after I did a factory reset in twrp, nothing changed, but after I re-entered the twrp restore it was not. Instead, there was the standard OnePlus factory reset menu. I did a factory reset with it and it worked. The icons appeared, but the fingerprints never worked.

Before the firmware, the build number was DN2103_11_A.10. I don't remember the firmware version anymore. Now it says 'unknown'. I also went to the status menu and there, opposite the IMEI SV, it also says 'unknown'.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] sakarya1980:
Oh, thats not good :(the problem is that you skipped a version while updating. usually you have to follow the steps otherwise something like this will happen. you absolutely need the vendor file try it with me v07, then v09 and finally the v10. you have to find these files, otherwise you currently have no chance. The User @xirosiman had the same problems and had to take it to the Oneplus service center.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] xirosiman:
@sakarya1980 now that there is twrp working maybe for this problem is to take a nandroid backup with the efs partition and restore it when the baseband and imei is lost.

i have some time to use twrp since oneplus3t, i dont know if it is full working for nord 2.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] NigthNoob:
I definitely upgraded from v7 to v10 using the updater in my phone. Why did it happen?🤔

Could you write detailed instructions on how to downgrade? I would be very grateful to you. I don’t know how to do it. And it would be useful for everyone who would look into this topic.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] sakarya1980:
that's the problem. you have to pay attention to the update sequence, otherwise it will happen.

@NigthNoob

Please download Oxygen 11.3 DN2103_11_A.07_unbrick.zip on my Megadrive from the first post and install. Download the ota files from here https://mega.nz/folder/rQhhHQpA#nNHvPlmzBXwPjmaFpuDa2Q

After installing Rom, use TWRP for flash ota file update_07_auf_09.zip, then update_09_auf_10.zip.

Please Format your data. if that doesn't get the phone working either, then you have to go to the service center

I don't understand why you don't read posts! In the first post I wrote that you shouldn't flash directly if you don't have version 10! now you have to flash the v07 and then install the ota files manually via TWRP

I did have v10. that's why I flashed it right away. also did this "now you have to flash the v07 and then install the ota files manually via TWRP" several times.

screenies are from 9/08/21 btw

Hi guys) how to update system with root??
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] characterdivide:
Hello! I tried to install the newest official OTA update while being on v10 (rooted with Magisk). It rebooted to TWRP and I tried to install the OTA manually in TWRP. Schouldn't have done this... this is where all the problems started. I was afraid I bricked my phone for a few hours, but finally I managed to get it back up. I'm now running the newest official OTA update.

Unfortunately, wifi and bluetooth isn't working. Mobile data (LTE) is working fine. Everything else works just fine. Does anyone here have any idea what the problem can be? If I remember correctly, wifi and bluetooth problems are often due to modem or firmware problems? Or maybe a problem with boot.img or vbmeta.img? I've messed with vbmeta.img and because I have full root with Magisk my boot.img is also modified. Thanks a lot for your help!

Edit: some additional info:

Build number: DN2103_11_A.11

Smallbandversion: M_V3_P10,M_V3_P10

Kernel-version: 4.14.186+

If I go to about phone -> status it shows no bluetooth address and no mac-address for wifi.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] sakarya1980:
Hi, it works, but you must flash stock boot.img v10, then Boot to twrp and flash the ota v11 file, install magisk, then vbmeta.. works on my device.

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Raygen:
Hello, I was following your instruction here to flash the 07 to 09 OTA, but I cannot find a way to flash the OTA through the stock recovery v1.2.

In the stock recovery, when I go for "Install from storage", the only option that's presented to me is "From phone storage", and choosing that option does nothing. Both if I place the .zip OTA file in the Internal storage of the phone, or try with an OTG usb cable.

And even with the phone booted, in the settings, I can't find a way to select a .zip file to manually update.

Should I try flash the OTA via adb or fastboot? But with which commands?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] sakarya1980:
Hi you need a usb c storage/adapter or install twrp
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Raygen:
Yup, I'm using an OTG Usb C cable with a Fat32 formatted pendrive, but it doesn't seems to see it. Should I call the .zip file in a specific way maybe? Like "update.zip"

Last time I tried with TWRP it failed the installation with "error 1", but I could retry
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] sakarya1980:
No, works on my device with any file name. Flash twrp recovery, then works
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Raygen:
Twrp now works thanks (y) probably the OTA I've tried earlier was corrupted
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Raygen:
Did you solve the sim card situation? I'm stuck with the same issue.

Flashing back the original nvcfg.img, nvdata.img and nvram.img didn't change it. Starting to think that maybe I should've backup more partitions..
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] xirosiman:
oh.. i thought that restoring the efs parttition, imei could bring back..

No i tried everything with no success. I didn't had efs backup though. The only solution is to send the phone back to oneplus. They will change you motherboard with new imei.

I cant figure why thats happening..
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Raygen:
Well ****.

I lost the IMEI too yes, can confirm that's the issue.

Searching around I've found this thread. Maybe doing a backup of Proinfo, Protect1, and Protect2 was also needed. My bad I didn't backup everything from the start really.

If anyone have an idea how to fix this with just the nv* partitions on hand, please do. I'll try some more and then contact Oneplus in case

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Raygen:
If someone prefer, I've found a way to backup the various partitions without the need of a third party app or even without the need of root.

While in

TWRP

, use these commands in your

adb terminal

:

adb shell

mkdir /sdcard/PartitionsBackup

dd if=/dev/block/sdc13 of=/sdcard/PartitionsBackup/nvcfg.img

dd if=/dev/block/sdc14 of=/sdcard/PartitionsBackup/nvdata.img

dd if=/dev/block/sdc23 of=/sdcard/PartitionsBackup/nvram.img

dd if=/dev/block/sdc16 of=/sdcard/PartitionsBackup/persist.img

dd if=/dev/block/sdc22 of=/sdcard/PartitionsBackup/proinfo.img

dd if=/dev/block/sdc17 of=/sdcard/PartitionsBackup/protect1.img

dd if=/dev/block/sdc18 of=/sdcard/PartitionsBackup/protect2.img

exit

You'll find the backed up partitions in the

PartitionsBackup

folder in your Internal storage.

---

You can find the directory of other partitions with the command ls -la $(find /dev/block/platform -type d -name by-name) and backing them up the same way.

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Eastw1ng:
I don't really think that's true, we just need to request proper ROM support from Oneplus + We need some good developers that are willing to put the effort into it. So far, Oneplus has been insanely stingy on the open nature that they preach.

All we can now do is wait and see what happens, or of course wait for a good developer to kick some ass! I've already seen some forks busy with lineage os.

Hi

I wanted to go back to stock (from lineageos). I followed the steps

1. backed up the 7 img files (as i Post #82)

2. downloaded and extracted Oxygen 11.3 DN2103_11_A.07_images.zip

3. copied the 7 backup-img-files to the same dir as the extracted ones

4. connected phone to usb

5. adb reboot bootloader

6. run "1. ROMinstaller.bat" > Choice 1 > YES > Choice 2 > YES (install root/twrp)

everythin ran fine, exept the file "my_preload.img" wasn't found. i don't know where this file should be?

7. rebootet phone

now it hangs on the screen "current image(boot/recovery) has been destroyed...

when i boot the phone with Volume Down & Power, theres a small "RECOVERY MODE" on the button. but the phone turns off just after a few seconds.

anyone can help please?

thanks in advance

Martin
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Raygen:
That usually happens after flashing the wrong boot image.

I suggest you to flash the full stock A.07 firmware, and then directly flash all the OTAs up to A.12, without rebooting in between. And restore the 7 partition images at the end.

If needed, you can find most of stock boot images in this post.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] HofaTheRipper:
wrong... bootloader is just relocked start in bootloader by pressing vol up, vol down and power at the same time and do fastboot flashing unlock
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Raygen:
forgot about that, right
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] martinwildi:
Woah, thanks a lot. After these steps, it booted to stock ROM, thank you very much!

(saved my life, was my wife's phone :eek: :ROFLMAO:)

Can anyone tell me, what i did wrong? What do you mean with "wrong boot image"? I used all the Files from the Download from Post #1 and my Backup.
