No custom recovery is supporting it YET. It's only just been released, sure these things will happen the more people buy the phone and the longer it's out.
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Joyceerides:
Agree totally with you.. just that we're spoilt by the rooting access and it's quite difficult to live without.. ;)

Demise of vanced was hard on us already

my OTA version shown is IV2201_11.A.10_0100_202202190121 , will it work on it ?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] puru:
Can anyone confirm rooting with the stock rom in the above post?

I urgently require this to work.
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] puru:
I rooted the Boot.img in the file attached earlier (after extracting OFP file)

Root was successful, but Wifi and Bluetooth does not work. Not sure if there are other issues.

My device has IV2201_11_A_11 version.

Is the new version available anywhere to root?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] GovindSharma123:
@puru request to upload that boot.img somewhere with instructions to root please
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
Hoping that someone will root their phone or share the boot.img so that we can root too
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] GovindSharma123:

How to Root OnePlus Nord CE 2 via Magisk and OFP Firmware

In this comprehensive tutorial, we will show you the steps to root your OnePlus Nord CE 2 via Magisk patched boot.img and the OFP firmware

www.droidwin.com
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
We have the same problem..

I am A.11 now..

Someone tried to patch the boot.img of A.10 and said that wifi and Bluetooth is not working..

So ..i didnt try my device..

The real question is .

Id there are ways to downgrade back to A.10..cause most rooted Nord Ce 2 is from the original stock firmware w/c is A.10..
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] GovindSharma123:
Thanks for guide up . finally rooted A.10 and wifi/Bluetooth and everything else working perfectly
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Joyceerides:
Just wanted to update you on process. I patched the file using magisk. I tried to flash A.10 boot image, but got stumped when pc didn't recognise my device in fastboot.. tried reinstalling mediatek drivers couple times but still no luck. Will try again tomorrow.. May be Sunday is the day
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Bebo541:
Yes, You can root using DSU if your bootloader is unlocked. No need of any rooted device
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Dorian@666:
Please share here, most of us are on Android 12 and unable to access bootloader

How do I update to android 13? I didn't think I could get it yet.
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] p1l3t:
Hey guys, sorry to be a freeloader asking for help as a first time poster to xda and I'm asking a dumb question likely. On my pixels, when I temporarily want to root I take the boot.img, magisk patch it, and then do fastboot boot patched_boot.img (I do graphene on those). On my Oneplus Nord CE 2 (EU), I like to have a few euro phones now because of dual sim I did fastboot boot boot.img (with the stock img that I used dd from /dev/sda49 which I confirmed is the boot partition while using dsu...really neat tool thanks to whoever suggested that) and I got this error.

I've done this on pixels and it works. I'm using the oneplus red usb cable that came with this phone and switched between 2.0 and 3.0 ports to no avail. I'm using the most recent "android-tools" in gentoo which is 34.0.0.

I'm on the A10 android 11, have not updated, I've tried this on 2 oneplus ce 2 5g phones so far (I was an idiot and bricked the last one and got a half refund thank god).
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] p1l3t:
I think that had issues too however I really want to test with just "fastboot boot" instead of flashing it. Is it possible to do that on this phone where it's possible to just boot it once with that img with fastboot as a test to make sure it's not going to brick the phone?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] p1l3t:
Could the issue be that the Nord CE2 does not allow for slots?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] burningcreation:
Does anyone have a guide to root the Nord CE 2 5G on firmware IV2201_11_F.48?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] ko_hi:
please remove it because its broken :)
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Sharma91:
I have Nord CE 2 with Android 13 and Build version IV2201_11_F.53

Can someone provide steps to root it and the Firmware zip for this build version
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] ko_hi:
You would need to unlock bootloader of not.

Then use proper recovery to install magisk, you might need to have a modified zip too
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Spaceboy60:
Is that for all regions??
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
Oh. Thank you. Try to update us about the result if its success so that i will do to..
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] puru:
Below is the A.10 patched Boot.img file. But for me the wifi and bluetooth was not working.

@GovindSharma123 -

Can you post the boot.img (patched) in which both are working?

Btw, I am on A-11 after the update.
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] GovindSharma123:
and even with A.10 it broken wifi and bluetooth so A.11 or A.10 doesn't matter , something is wrong with boot.img or may be due to fact that we not check patch vbmeta option in magisk when patching boot.img
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] puru:
I patched another one with vbmeta option.. and the device goes in bootloop.

@GovindSharma123 - Can you post the patched boot.img file?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
That will go to bootloop because the one you are flashing is the old version of the device. If ur A.10, boot.img must be A.10 and if your updated version A.11, ur boot.img must be on A.11 because if u try to patch boot.img..it will go to bootloop
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
As i expected..
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] puru:
ok.

Is there a Boot.img for A.11 version?

I guess @GovindSharma123 is also using A.10 boot.img
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] puru:
Has anyone tried the A.11 file available here?

[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
I dont know. I regret that i updated A.10 to A.11 knowing that OTA version firmware of it will not be release yet .

That's a lesson for me not to update a phone one bought..

🤣🤣🤣
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
Did u try..i think that's paid..

It has password in it .

If there's someone here who have One Plus Nord Ce 2 firmware of A.11... kindly share it to us so that we can try and post the result
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Lord Ikaron:
Hey i tried it with the version 09 and it works like a charm
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
It will because you can use the boot.img of A.9 firmware..but for us who have A.11 update..we cant..or else..

We will be in a bootloop mode .
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Lord Ikaron:
That sucks, but i have the proplem that i cant even install new updates because of a validation error
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
After the phone is rooted..

Updating is easy.

But i recomend not 2 unles there is ota update for ur back up flash..in case problems occur..and being in rooted state is a powerful device already..
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Lord Ikaron:
No even before it was rooted i couldn't do it, but yes you are right.

I won't update till i got a full Ota as a backup.

Whish you guys luck
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
Yeah . Just don't all of this just for ads to go away. Jailbroken iphone cant do those so i switch to android again..
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Joyceerides:
Are you saying your phone is now in bootloop because you tried it? (A.10 image on A.11 fw)

Did you try the OnePlus service centre for unbrick?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] squirtle27:
MSMDownloadTool for unbricking
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
i tried also the A.10 boot.img over my A.11 device and it was successfully rooted but as expected wifi and bluetooth is not working..i have the A.11 Boot.img but it was patch. not the exact version firmware of A.11.. if anyone knows how to combine those A.10 and A.11(p) boot.img..it would be great..
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Joyceerides:
Link?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Joyceerides:
tried finally.. entered bootloop.

some loops happened and I entered what seemed to be a recovery mode and it asked me to select the language. When I selected English, some wrong grammar message came up.. it said "Kindly reminder" system error, adter select language, please select Online update(keep data to recovery system, thanks!

View attachment 5604497
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Joyceerides:
No luck since a while despite trying to wipe my data etc.. might have to visit a oneplus store tomorrow.

I'm guessing they'll bring it back to A.10 and I can root it then :P I wonder why Oneplus hasnt released an EDL package or even a stock rom.. seriously annoying to be honest
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] squirtle27:
Can you get into bootloader?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
If you use a A.10 over A.11 you can be successfully rooted though wifi and Bluetooth is not working like my phone today..
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Joyceerides:
Yes I can get into bootloader.
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Joyceerides:
tried this boot image and the bluetooth and wifi arent working as mentioned .. But I'm happy at least this came out of bootloop
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Sarikazzz:
People you are very impatient, just wait for some time and someone(teamwin) will do twrp and we will root without any problems.
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Joyceerides:
@twrp

Can you share your boot image? I can give my phone a try with that and if it works, we can all live happily :)

Thanks in advance
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Lord Ikaron:
My firmware version is A 09 so it just worked for mine.

If you have the same then sure i can do that.
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Joyceerides:
I guess no harm in trying :)
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Lord Ikaron:
What version do you have?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Lord Ikaron:
If its note the same you would be stuck in a bootloop probably, and right now there is no full OTA out so you would be stuck with a brick as a Phone when something goes wrong.
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Joyceerides:
I have A.11

I have already tried using my own boot image and the A.10 one.. if something goes wrong, I'll just use the A.10 image and come back to normal . So no worries..

Meanwhile, if you somehow find a way to upgrade to A.11, please let us know .. it'll be super helpful
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Lord Ikaron:
Hey did you already try to use the boot.img from the incremental update.

So you download the new 300MB zip and just take out the new boot img.

Its just a guess but it could work
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Joyceerides:
A.12 available today :P
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Mwadime143m:
Got saved by the bell?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Joyceerides:
Not quite.. The phone wouldnt update to A.12 as it gives me a validation error as @Lord Ikaron mentioned in his post.

I tried to get remote support for flashing by OnePlus team. For some reason, I couldnt get my phone to enter EDL mode for the life of me.. It would just get recognized for a second and as soon as I connect my PC, it would just boot back up without going into EDL. I tried a couple ways (command prompt way to go to EDL from ADB and fastboot). But in both cases, phone refused to enter EDL and the support person disconnected saying I'll have to visit the service center.

@eyaw, @puru and @GovindSharma123 can you guys try entering into EDL mode? phone should be completely turned off, then you press both volume buttons and connect the cable to PC.. It should be detected as Qualcomm device .. Let me know if that worked for you guys
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Lord Ikaron:
I did something similar with my op 8 pro, my device wouldnt be rekognized beacaue windows dindt have the driver installed.

Go into Device Manager and update the driver fia windows Update.

For my case it workt.

And the MNS ore how the programm is called rekognized it.

Sorry for my poor spelling, i can take better than writing.
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
No progress since then so i just need to wait for the firmware to be release by OP and update it via OTA..

U cant also update through wifi cause wifi and Bluetooth is broken so u can only update using the zip to be flash via SD card..and my device cant boot to fastboot mode..only recovery so..u cant update via computer also..the one thing u can do is update via sd card..
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
What your trying to say also will not work cause i tried it but it was patch so the boot.img will have this (p) on it cause that was patch meaning the full firmware of it was not put there so as u can see it is only MB file cause when its the full firmware..i can extract it..but updates only have the ones they change so they will not release the full firmware of it..
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
The answer from whAt your trying to say that you can’t go to EDL mode because One plus Nord ce 2 is mediatek device and that only work on Qualcom devices
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Dorian@666:
Can someone share the steps to unlock the bootloader
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Joyceerides:
one more update

I got the MSM tool from OP team. However, because I couldnt get to EDL, it was pretty useless.

I got my phone flashed from the service center and I am back to A.9.. Do you guys think I should try rooting again? or just wait a bit longer?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] puru:
So I got the device reset done at Oneplus service centre.

Now the Bluetooth and Wifi are working and they have loaded A.09.

My qs is:

1. Is the rooting working for A.09 firmware properly? so, there is no issue with wifi and bluetooth?

2. Are you able to receive OTA updates and keep the root as well?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
For you guys who have service centre of oneplua. Good for you..while here in the Philippines theres none..so im doing it by myaelf and waiting for the toolkit to be updated..theres no MAM download tool for nord ce 2 aoni just have to wait..if u are from A.9 and A.10..its good to root cause there is no error to occur because ur using the right boot.img and thats guaranteed..

But im not sure for the update..
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
This is my first time to switch to different device because I’m more knowledgeable on Samsung devices.. so i just got to use my jailbroken iPhone for now until i fix my one plus
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
Best advice, if your from A.9 better update to A.10 before rooting to fix some bugs and errors on A.9 because boot.img of A.10 are available..but dont update to A.11 yet or else same thing will happen unless u have boot.img of A.11..

And i was able to back up the boot.img of A.11 but it was on my SD card so i cant poat it cause i only have iphone and no computer..
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Joyceerides:
You should try the get in touch option which opens up a WhatsApp screen and they can schedule remote session where they give you msm tool and drivers and do it over a screen share session. They were quite responsive actually.

For now I'm going to update to A.12 as there's no proper rooting yet
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
U

know their contact in whats app screen??

So that i can get in touch..

And advice..if u want to be rooted..better not to update cause the more u update..the more hard u get rooted..
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Joyceerides:
Yup.. whatsapp them via this

[OnePlus Nord CE 2] puru:
Can ou share the Boot.img?

Also, are you able to upgrade to A.12?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Dorian@666:
U think if OnePlus Nord ce2 comes with a/b partition then it is possible to update with root
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Dorian@666:
If someone can extract the a11 firmware and get me the stock recovery file i might be able to build a twrp
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] warmaniac176:
I have boot file for A11 and Magisk patched file also i have succesfully rooted nord ce 2 with this files with no bugs or any prob if anyone want just message me i will provide you with files. sharing some screenshot as proof
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Joyceerides:
Can you share the boot image here on this thread? It'll also help others who might be on the lookout.

Would be great if you can share steps you followed as well
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] vayaviya:
A11 boot image attached. I am able to see the A12 update, but have not tried yet.
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] vayaviya:
Already shared the A11 boot.img above. Sharing recovery here:
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Dorian@666:
I tried to port twrp from the recovery file but no use it didnt work, however the firmware file for A12 is avialable if someone can get the password or crack it i can extract the boot img and vbmeta img

<Moderator Edit>: Link removed.
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] warmaniac176:
A12 firmware available where ?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Dorian@666:
I am not allowed to share the link by the moderator but it's on gsm arena. It's a password protected file
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] warmaniac176:
HI so everyone was waiting for Oneplus Nord CE2 5g A11 and A12 version to be rooted Good news the boot file for both A11 and A12 is available if anyone wants the boot.img file for A11 or A12 and i will guide you with the process also.
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Lex805:
Please upload these files here and describe the process of how to root with these files. And please tell me what version of the firmware you have India or Global?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Dorian@666:
sure share the boot img for A12 here rest of the process is easy
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Mwadime143m:
So you are using patched boot image of A.10 update on the A.12 update? A.09 magisk patched boot image should be more stable, but there's a reason they released the updates
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] warmaniac176:
If you use A.10 boot file for A11 or A12 your wifi and Bluetooth not gonna work bro
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] warmaniac176:
Sharing a link it might help you to get boot.img and vbmeta.img of your latest firmaware. thanks me later
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Mwadime143m:
You need custom Recovery for this
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Dorian@666:
It not much helpful if we don't have the official firmware so no point of the video further custom recovery is also required which ain't yet developed
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] mr_munch:
I don't know enough to vet things like this, but are the firmware files on this site legit?: https://kabalkhajaliya.com/oneplus-nord-ce-2-5g-iv2201-flash-file/

Good day to everyone who managed to rut this device? You can write to me how you can root it. Please
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
I bricked this phone once because I used the A.10 boot.img to root A.11 version. At first wifi and Bluetooth is not working so i tried to un root the phone which make it brick..

Stop what i did was to flash the firmware of A.10 do that i can root it with no problem..

So now i am rooted with A.10 version..

And i bought also the A.11 version..for 5$.

But i want to update it to A.12 so im ganno wait until..

TWRP support this phone so that i can back up it 1st..
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] puru:
Would you be able to share A.10 files?

I am on A.09 and the phone just wants to upgrade to A.12

If you can share the ota update for A.10 and the patched boot.img, it would help
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] eyaw:
I just download it to the web..search for root Nord ce 2 5G and it will appear..even the firmware..together with the boot.img..

im at the military camp so i cant share the files because i left it at home..

[OnePlus Nord CE 2] mr_munch:
I have successfully rooted my phone with Magisk on the A.12 update. Bluetooth/wifi are working. I was able to acquire the firmware files, and was able to extract the boot.img. Please note that my phone is the Indian Variant.

[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Dorian@666:
Are u sure the file is correct because the size of other boot img is around 32 mb also vb meta is required i guess
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] mr_munch:
I compressed the file for upload, it was 33.6mb uncompressed for me. I was able to use the guide in one of my previous comments. I never needed to deal with vbmeta when following it, and things seem to be working just fine.
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] puru:
Is the attached file patched or Stock file?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] mr_munch:
It's the stock file.
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] mr_munch:
For those trying to root on A.12, when trying to boot into fastboot mode: If you see tiny text on the screen that includes "fastboot_unlock_verify ok", congrats, you're in fastboot mode! I was confused when I first got there, as it looks different than the guide.

See if your computer can find it with the command 'fastboot devices' in the Android SDK directory. If it's not visible, do the following:

1. Exit fastboot mode by turning off the phone by pressing Vol Up + Vol Down + Power for several seconds.

2. Turn on the phone normally.

3. Follow this guide to properly install the OnePlus drivers: https://www.droidwin.com/fix-android-device-not-showing-in-fastboot-mode/
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] puru:
Hey,

Thanks for this file. It worked and I have now rooted A.12.

and now Oneplus has released A.13. I am not upgrading till someone confirms rooting for the version.
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] chikioo:
vbmeta.img　Please upload the file

Without this file you will have a boot loop.
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Dorian@666:
yeah vbmeta is necessary without it theres a bootloop
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] mr_munch:
I also encountered this bootloop when I was rooting my phone. Magisk appears to force you to include vbmeta. I figured out that you can actually skip that option, but it wasn't intuitive at all. Unfortunately, I can't recreate it to take a screenshot, but with some experimentation you should be able to find how to skip it.

In any case, I have attached vbmeta.img for those who would like to use it. Just note that I didn't use it, so I can't 100% confirm it will work.
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Dorian@666:
Hello Mr. Munch

I tried variety of methods.... Including flashing a patched magisk patched boot image without the vbmeta option. Nothing seem to work, request you to share the patched image you created to have anorther try
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] mr_munch:
I will provide it, but please double-check that you have done everything correctly up to this point (like making sure your boot.img corresponding to the firmware update your phone is running).
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Dorian@666:
Hello I found the error and now my phone booted perfectly first flash the vbmeta using the below command:

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

& then flash the magisk patched boot image and then use the command fastboot reboot and thats it the phone will reboot perfectly

btw if you are able to get hold of the a13 boot img let me know

Thanks

D
