All i mean is, when there is an update just go into system update in settings and tell it to install it. Like any other update. Since you are having problems with it updating it self, I suggest you do this fairly quickly. To be clear; It is not an issue that it auto updates, but if it does update and then the phone is rebooted then root is gone.

By starting the update yourself you KNOW it is updating and you can keep an eye on when it is done. Then you just have to remember not to reboot it before you install magisk to the inactive slot.

It basically works like this:

You phone has 2 system partitions and 2 boot partitions, these are slot a and slot b.

Let's say you are currently on slot a.

This means you phone is using boot_a to load system_a.

You have just patched magisk to your boot partition on slot a, meaning boot_a.

When install an OTA update it will then install to slot b. In this process it will overwrite both system_b and boot_b. And when the phone is rebooted it will now use boot_b to boot to system_b. So root is gone. (In theory root is still there, but it's on boot_a which is now inactive)

This is why you patch magisk to inactive slot right after an update. First the update installs a new system and boot and then you patch that new boot.

Then you can reboot. It switches to slot b and loads boot_b with root.

Next update it will go back to slot a, and so on.

About twrp, I don't imagine this will ever stop working. It really shouldn't. I certainly hope not since it's a nice and easy backup if you forget to patch to inactive.

Hi.

Don't take this the wrong way but I think you'll get a better response if you rewrite your message and use short concise sentences, paragraphs, and punctuation.

I read your message several times and I'm rather unsure of what you're asking among other things.

It really helps if you use a more list-based format to your questions, this really helps prevent ambiguity and gives possible responders a much clearer idea of what may help you.

I am an owner of a Metro N100 so I personally understand that getting answers can be difficult because often people don't understand that the Metro/T-Mobile phones are different than the unlocked/global variant.

Again I hope you won't take offense to what I've said and I look forward to seeing how this adventure turns out for you.

Thank you,

I value any input and will maye note. I was only responding to a post that I read yesterday.

Somebody was willing to contribute to the develpoment of some roms fot the opn100 but was not themselfs aan owner of the device.

I was extending an offer to helpas i still would ...no offense taken though thank you.

I have this varient be2015.... i tried to fastboot flash recovery image from avicii recovery lineage os at the time i was unaware of the nord avicii i didnt copy ab partitions first.

well, lol i was bricked i couldnt boot system or recovery i couldnt even power off the phone. stuck fastboot..... let me add that i was upgraded to the 11 os before this....

well the msm fix did work i used the tool to fix brick and it also reverted me back to android 10 succesfully and yes i was bootloader unlocked and carrier unlocked.

so fix brick tool does work and it doesnt seem to care what os version you are in innitially.

i also found a tool from github that will successfully switch ab aslots it was made for a nokia device but it does work ...to swich slots ONLY dont try to use it to flash it wont workto flash ill upload liknk

sorry for misspelling and punctuation the textbox is lagging by like 4 seconds for some reason....bear with me also

i am still trying to flash lineage os to the device or any custom recovery i have fully restored my device with the fix brick tool and upgraded to 11.02 os after.

i have dumptool amd64.exe also works well ill upload link for it aswell and boot image of stock 11.02 and 10.5.5 and 10.8.

if i upload image of 11.02 can you help me patch for root and twrp?

thank you and if there is anyone who has successfully completed the installation of a custom rom to this varient please lmk ty

#### i want to ad that the fix brick tools although they do work it as it says , ALSO IT..

#### will relock your bootloader. ####

if one became bricked after use, one possibility is that they forgot to reflash the token first before flashing the to the partition.

in such case it would seem as though the tool or the new image or zip was to blame

[OnePlus Nord N100 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] thomaskmaagaard:
Currently there is NO custom ROM for this phone. You will not have success flashing any.

If you upload a boot image i will happily flash magisk to it, but I'm not aware of anyone trying this method on a BE2015. I don't know how well it works, but really it should work IF it is the correct boot image. It has to be identical to the one you are using right now. Mine is be83ba, yours is different and the boot image and your phone has to be identical.

If you want twrp you can use the one from OP on this post. It has limited functionality described in our previous reply's on this post. In short:

You may not be able to access any files.

If you can't access files then you can flash files via ADB Sideload.

To do so you have to disable MTP in twrp and then find "sideload adb".

The exact procedure is described in previous reply's.
[OnePlus Nord N100 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jhunter2788:
okay thanks, you that would help ill upload

when i try to adb sideload i get the prekitkat error. there is no apply update locally option in the recovery like there is in the other varients how can i successfully adb sideload ?

that would solve some problems because adb sideload is the method for almost every instruction on applying most full roms. can i adb push i have never done adb push
[OnePlus Nord N100 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] thomaskmaagaard:
What are you trying to sideload?

Can you describe your process for sideloadi g?
[OnePlus Nord N100 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] onlycash:
HI

I was able to Root my Metro N100 fairly easily by just fastbooting TWRP, don't flash TWRP just fastboot boot the TWRP img.

On your PC run ADB once your phone is in the bootloader and run "fastboot boot TWRP.img"

Once you're in TWRP go to Mount and Disable MTP

Next, go to Advanced, ADB sideload

At this point, you slide the slider in TWRP to start the sideload

Go back to the PC and run this command in ADB: "adb sideload pathToMagisk.zip"

This should patch your boot.img and give you a rooted phone.

If you don't have a magisk.zip, rename magisk.apk to magisk.zip, it's best if you put the Magisk.zip in the same folder as ADB so the command is simply "adb sideload Magisk.zip

The only thing that gave me an issue was trying to do this with an old ADB, I would suggest downloading this one if you don't already have it: ADB

Good luck!

.
[OnePlus Nord N100 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] thomaskmaagaard:
I do not believe this is a rom for this phone. You can NOT use rom for the Nord on an N100! There is a big difference. And why are you sideloading an old OTA?

You should also replace your adb with the proper one: Correct ADB.

And I don't believe you should use "./" in the file path on Windows. If the file is in your current directory then just type the file name.
[OnePlus Nord N100 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sayitainttone88:
yoooo... how did you unlock the bootloader?? I managed to do the SIM unlock but not the bootloader. funny thing actually, in my setting im allowed to toggle the "oem unlock switch" but when i boot into fastboot or bootloader in get a message saying i need a flash unlock token. i have the same phone except now it auto updated to 11.0.2.BE82CF. I been tweaking on this phone for months now with no luck
[OnePlus Nord N100 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] onlycash:
It's not difficult.

Go to this page: OEM Unlock Service Webpage

You'll need to login/set up an account. I just used a Google login, you'll need to return to this page in the future to retrieve your unlock token so use a login you'll remember.

All you'll need the IMEI number and the "Unlock Code". You get the Unlock Code by doing the following:

If you have questions ask away.

Step1. Make sure you have unlocked your SIM card

Step2. Enable “OEM unlocking” from Settings UI

Settings > System > Developer options > OEM unlocking

Step 3. Get IMEI by dial *#06#

Step 4. Enter fastboot mode to get unlock code

Power off your phone.

Press and hold“Volume +”and “Volume -”. Then Press power key to enter “fastboot mode”

Connect phone to your computer > Run ADB and enter command: "fastboot.exe oem get_unlock_code"

After you've gotten your unlock token from OnePlus, it takes about a week, you have to do the following:

Repeat step 4 to get back into fastboot mode to flash unlock token. Once your in fastboot enter the following command:

"fastboot flash cust-unlock <unlock_token.bin>"

(<unlock_token.bin> = whatever you've named the unlock token bin file.)

Next you need to unlock your device.

The command: "fastboot oem unlock"

I need some advice. So, I have the N100 BE2015 (T-Mobile Firmware) factory updated to Android 11 Marshmallow from Android 10, and I got the unlock code and successfully unlocked bootloader, it's also carrier unlocked (of course). i ran TWRP version 3.5.2 ( the link on this thread) via fastboot, and I sucessfully flashed a newer version of Magisk to the stock firmware,no problems. Then tried to flash the latest version of Lineage for N100, and no go. so then I flashed TWRP on my device, (I failed to notice that backup restore isnt working with this version) and I made backup, tried to flash Lineage, but no go. My phone now boots normally into TWRP with or without using the key sequence. I can also boot into the phones download mode, wich accepts fastboot commands. I tried several versions of the multi tool recovery for flashing stock firmware, but no luck, all of the necessary drivers are on my cpu, I am just stumped. Should I try other versions of TWRP, I know with my Alcatel phone, I have to use different version of TWRP for different ROMS. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

I'm sorry to hear that.

Just to be clear...

Are you saying that your phone no longer boots into Android?

From what I gathered from your post your phone stops booting at the bootloader, am I correct?

If that's the case I believe you can restore your phone back to the stock ROM and start over from there.

I personally haven't had to do that myself so I'm not sure of what's the preferred method to achieve that is at present. I think this thread may be a good place to start asking questions.

[OnePlus Nord N100 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] thomaskmaagaard:
I would say you don't have many options. If you change slots in fastboot you can probably get into a working system.

But since you can't get firmware files for that model, I'm not sure you'll get the other slot back. This is also why I can't recommend flashing anything permanently to those models.

I don't even know of any Lineage for n100 so I have no idea what you flashed...

If you get into the other slot, maybe a future OTA update will install over the broken one and fix it?? I don't know if that's possible.. but maybe.

THANK YOU!!

Please post in this thread if and when you get your TWRP ready.

For many of us, we'd never hear about your new thread unless we see it here first.

The N100 is a fairly slow forum and I only know about your work because I'm subbed to this thread.

Again thanks for all you're doing.

[OnePlus Nord N100 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Travisholt92:
I've had my twrp for N200 in a "testing" phase over the past week. It is stable enough to install stock OTA and decrypt userdata (without lock screen password, pattern, or fingerprint set). Also a common big across all devices, no decryption while running Android 12 ( including GSI)

The N100 will share those bugs

[OnePlus Nord N100 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bouyakasha:
Thank you, I had not done that (my mistake for missing it).

You have the boot image for 11.0.5.BE81AA? I would be very grateful for that, I can root it with Magisk and flash it, right?
[OnePlus Nord N100 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] thomaskmaagaard:
To be fair, I have never flashed vbmeta or disabled verity and i have rooted with a few different methods.

I'm trying to find a dl for this firmware, but it's very new so might not be possible. I think you might actually be able to switch slots and you'll be back on the previous update. You can find and patch a boot image for this. Then install magisk to inactive slot.

I'm sure you can make it work. The TWRP sideload method should definitely work. I'd like to know what's not working out. I can help you out with sideloading or patching if you'd like.

[OnePlus Nord N100 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] onlycash:
I'll be honest with you this gets confusing.

First of all, the person who posted this TWRP did very little or no development after it was posted. This thread is long and most posts are of little value. There was a person working on a more functional TWRP but I don't think it is completed or even if it will ever get completed. The one in this thread luckily gets us root but has little to offer otherwise.

Next, you have to understand that not every N100 is the same so what you'll read in one post may mean nothing to you or it's important to you but you can't tell because most people don't give either full explanations of their issues or identify which N100 they have, etc.

The N100 and especially the Metro/T-Mobile variants were slow to get unlocked, most of us had to wait half a year, and because of that ROM development, is nowhere to be found. At this point, I think the horse is out of the stable as far as ROMs are concerned.

Lastly, on your question of theme apps, I'll message you in private.

.
[OnePlus Nord N100 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Travisholt92:
Honestly I still haven't even started on that TWRP yet. I've taken a break for about a week now from the dev stuff. My N200 TWRP has a couple high priority bugs that I need to tend to that will likely backport to this device. Im contemplating adding a "update-blobs.sh" file to make updating TWRP blobs from stock super easy. I don't understand why it isn't a common thing that people do honestly.
[OnePlus Nord N100 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] onlycash:
Hey

That's all kool.

I hope you understood my prior post wasn't meant as a negative toward your efforts. I was mostly trying to give that person a more realistic view of the possibility of the N100 getting any future ROM devolvement etc.

As long as we retain, and never lose the ability to flash the Magisk zip with the present TWRP we can at least retain ROOT going forward. For most of us that makes the N100s lack of ROM development something we can overlook.

I really wish we could prevent both the N100 and the N200 from updating without our consent, I hate not being in control of my devices. This auto-updating makes me fear at some point in the future we'll lose the ability to flash the Magisk zip with our present TWRP and we permanently lose root.

If you do eventually cook up a more complete/functional TWRP I'm sure every N100 user will be very grateful.

.
[OnePlus Nord N100 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Travisholt92:
No worries I wasn't taking it that way.

But the N100 will definitely be an officially supported device eventually. It's already on its final android OS release from the OEM meaning less reworking has to be done with updates from stock. Auto update is a toggle that's able to be disabled. I believe it's in developer options. Ability to root won't be lost. Isn't it as simple as: use a payload dumper to dump the boot.img, vbmeta and vbmeta_system(if it exists) from OTA and patch the boot image using the magisk app and flash vbmetas with disable verity and verification?

Even if it's not that simple, worst case scenario I bringup Android 12 on it with an easy way to root it. 🤷

It will take me a while to get to it but it will definitely be happening before the end of the year
