[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TechNoobForSale:
Well this is VERY GOOD!

To let you understand better, I thought that each T Virus release was for a specific Stock OS release (For example a T Virus 2019XXXX is only for Pie on April Security Patch and so on). But if none of that really is a problem, then I’ll be done with this within minutes.

I spent a day studying the whole ordeal with Nokia 8 development myself, and I also discovered that the newer version of T Virus include TWRP 3.4.0.0 which doesn’t have the decryption bug anymore, which is very good.

Haven’t got much choice other than Treble based things. Any newer android release is based on that anyways, and the current active development for this device is for treble things, so.

I have already made sure everything’s unlocked. Boot loader and critical both are “true” on fastboot and there is currently still nothing installed.

Can’t wait to install CherishOS. Or maybe even try out Ancient. Gotta see which one suits me better.

Thanks for the help!
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TechNoobForSale:
I’ll let you know if I accidentally make my device declare thermonuclear war or if it just dies 😌

Or if all goes well. Either way I’ve never seen support this active on XDA. Nokia 8 development seems abandoned but the people keeping it alive are great, I’m seeing that.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
well, unfortunately with android 12 - it requires 3.6 to install, and twrp is still incompatible with android 12 (fully) so the decryption bug still exists but only with a rom pin set, if you don't have a rom pin it works fine, that is not device side though that is twrp side, encryption/decryption is working correctly on our device. we are awaiting twrp to fix that rather annoying issue still.

The Tvirus you install is irrelevant - because all it needs to do is create the vendor, the roms replace the boot, vendor, system, and some roms (like cherish and ancient) contain an entire firmware upgrade too in the rom zips. so don't worry about newer or older Tvirus versions.

and great, don't worry to much, you won't brick unless you try install cherish on stock partition table :D once you boot into the rather old looking GSI, you know your on treble and can boot up into twrp, but you'll need to update twrp before attempting to install the rom or it might give error 1 or 7.

i attached the recoveries to the post, be sure to grab it ;) as that old twrp is rather broken when it comes to A12.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
and well, i try :D thank you. its only a few of us still actively maintaining however we trying our best to keep it alive despite half of us not having a working device anymore (myself included)
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TechNoobForSale:
Damn how did that happen? Did they just die? I usually keep my phones with such care they last until they literally die, I have a decade old S3 still working (Overclocked and everything, lol)

[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TechNoobForSale:
Oh well, there goes. Was flashing the latest stable release of T Virus with NOST and somewhere around the finishing line it failed.

Error code: 0xc6d7

Error: Download fails

Error = SE_ERR_ADB_CMD_DEVICE_WRITE_FAIL (0xC6D7)

I am just idling in download mode now. Don't even know if I can reboot at all.

It's essentially the same identical error message as the guy on the Main T Virus forum.

Sorry to hear you can't find a good battery, after an almost three months of searching I found one and I posted the details here on XDA Nokia 8 device tree in Q&A
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] bunzo:
This is the thread about the replacement battery that I found and replaced: https://xdaforums.com/t/nokia-8-ta-1052-battery-sustitution.4367581/ and I told you that during the process of trying several batteries my Nokia 8 also had a broken screen but I bought another one (luckily they are not expensive, the one I bought cost me about 25 euros). Now I have the mobile with the new battery and it lasts me about 48 hours with not very intense use and with the AncientOs 6.2 Society so I am very happy.

[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Røbin:
Will there be new update any time soon?
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
yes, in the next few days actually. i have rather good and bad news though about the next update.

the reason for this lengthy update is simply updates were no longer possible. we have hit our 3GB system limit and builds no longer build, so we had to re-think the whole Tvirus system.

the good news is we just succeeded in making a new T-virus a few days ago, and is now available, as such i will now be pushing the update soon.

however please note that OTA will NOT be possible for this update, because it requires flashing our new T-virus which in turn will wipe the entire device as it will repartition everything. we have increased system size to 5GB successfully which was rather a risky ordeal and took a lot of time to pull off, but we succeeded in the end.

you will need a full backup and T-virus re-install before updating to the latest builds. going forward, builds will only be compatible with T-virus 2.0.

i will post instructions soon on how to flash it too, i will push 3.7 in next few days alongside it. we needed testing from our users before pushing to XDA, but 3.6.5 and T-virus 2.0 is already avail in our telegram support group if you dont want to wait. (in my links on first page)
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Røbin:
Thanks so much for detailed explanation of the current situation🥹 Can hardly believe you guys are doing so much for this zombie phone. I'll do the flashing tomorrow. Can't wait! Again, thank you so much for all the efforts and love you're giving to NB1❤️
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
no problem, i will build and release as soon as i can ;)
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
3.7 build is up, happy flashing!

please note that T-virus 2.0 is a requirement for this build and all builds going forward. please ensure you backup all your data, and flash it before attempting to flash 3.7 or you will get an error upon flashing.

follow this guide to get T-virus 2.0 installed, links in guide:

https://xdaforums.com/t/nokia-8-nb1-full-rom-installation-guide.4349525/

warning! all your data will be erased, ensure you have a backup of all your data!

Thanks again for supporting this phone so well! Just curious, does 3.7 already support OTA?
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
no problem. it is my hopes that ill have enough funds one of these days to repair mine (again)..

OTA does work via dirty flash, but there is no OTA updater unfortunately. i am trying to work on a solution for that, but cherish doesn't include an OTA updater (yet) on A12.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
3.7.5 build is up.

this build addresses the broken offline charging in 3.7, as well as a fix for the random camera crashing bug. (i hope it truely fixed it now)

OTA from 3.6.5 or 3.7 is fine.

happy flashing!
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
3.9 build is up, most camera issues should now be resolved.

changelogs on git page. exFAT support also now included

happy flashing!

how do I root this ROM? it seems like the latest magisk requires a boot img. Where do I find one?
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] CitizenZer0:
After successfully flashing this ROM and gapps, get the latest magisk from the GitHub repo:

Download the apk and create a duplicate.

Rename either file so it ends with .zip and you should now have two files:

> Magisk-v25.2.apk

> Magisk-v25.2.zip

One of the files needs to be a ZIP, otherwise you can't flash it.

> If you can't see file extensions, you need to enable it under the Explorer (View tab at the top).

Reboot to recovery and flash the Magisk-v25.2.zip file.

If it doesn't automatically reboot to CherishOS, do it.

In the main screen it should appear a new app. If it doesn't, manually install the Magisk-v25.2.apk file.

It might prompt you for some needed patching, say yes. The phone will patch itself and reboot.

Then you'll be rooted.

LMK if you need more help!
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
new build is up again, with some more camera changes and hopefully random reboots gone.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
ES file explorer is owned by a Chinese company for years now, its reliability and trustworthiness is compromised. Don't use any kind of software or hardware from China, the party forces the Chinese software and hardware companies to build in code for them to spy on the user. That is why Huawei devices are banned in the U.S.

[Xiaomi 11T Pro] ivivdim:
I have a little but annoying problem with my 11T Pro, so i'd like to find out if it's caused by some of applications i use or it is a system bug.

The Sleep time (Settings - Always-on display & Lock screen) is "After 5 minutes of inactivity" and when i change it to another value it resets again to 5 minutes after every screen lock.

Am i the only one with such a issue?
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Pher-:
Strange, sounds like an isolated issue. I haven't faced that on my 11T Pro (Global Variant). Are you running the latest MIUI Version? Try updating if you're not on the latest one already.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] ivivdim:
I'm on latest Global too. I have many applications installed (above 400) and i suppose that the culprit is some of them (launchers, dialers, Tasker etc.) but unfortunately all my attempts to find the reason for my problem are fruitless for now.

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] derjango:
Hey guys,

currently I'm caring about my new redmi note 8 device to bring AICP to the device, this means:

1. unlock bootloader

2. flash TWRP

3a. Guide recommends to flash Magisk to get root

3b. I would prefer instead of 3a to Full wipe, flash AICP and then root with Magisk

My Question is now: Is 3b. a good choice or do I need to root the Stock Rom first? and then full wipe and follow 3b?

I simply would like to save some of the technical steps if possible :)

Best, dj

[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] TaranQ:
Edit 2 :

After third time re-install my conclusion is it happens when adding extra languages.

So the Superlocale was the trigger but not the cause as it happened without having either of the 2 mentioned apps installed.

The only "special" thing i did was using adb to get rid of some pre-installed stuff like Google Youtube, Keep, Films etc (some more than i did in the past. Wonder if that could be causing the "stuck on flashing unlock screen"?

Edit : allready managed to enter Oppo recovery and resetted my phone.

BTW it wasn't the Insular app but SuperLocale to quickly switch languages. After granting the special permission the same thing happened again and i had to do another reset again .... ouch.

I've been playing around with the Insular app yesterday (which creates a sandbox envorinment by means of the Android work profile) and this morning I found the phone flashing at the unlock screen.

Guess the app really messed up. But even worse is;

- I cannot unlock the phone

- I cannot power down the phone

- I cannot enter recovery

I can use the Power + Vol+ combo but it just restarts the phone leaving it flashing at the unlock screen without any means to unlock

Meaning I cannot factory reset the phone....

What else is there I can try to get my phone back?
