[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] dmtec:
okay so keeping in mind i've never been able to boot from a no matter what, it just black screens. so, i went back and pulled my vbmeta, and flashed it back over to both slots. i flashed my patched boot to b. maybe i should flash both.. gonna try that next. but once i flashed my vbmeta back over with disable verity and disable verification, i was booting straight into recovery.

i then followed that by wiping userdata and i was able to boot again, this time the normal OOS boot screen followed instead of the carrier boot screen. still no radios though. when i pulled my boot image i stayed in a specific directory, and i haven't been able to download these large archives that have boot files in them because my download speed doesn't exceed 1MB/s at the moment. so i definitely didn't mix anything up.. it's a little mind boggling at the moment because all i did was send that patched boot image over and just that itself, caused the no radios problem.
[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] PsYk0n4uT:
Did you use your own vbmetas?
[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] PsYk0n4uT:
Try disabling verity and verification on all vbmetas....

vbmeta.img, vbmeta_system.img and vbmeta_vendor.img. You may or may not need to create a blank. I haven't had to so far but try these. You need each of these images to do it...:

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

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

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

Check this out to explain a little more about the secure boot and how it works.

[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] dmtec:
that was exactly my next step it's funny you mentioned it here. still didn't work, so i dove a little deeper using this really handy tool and deconstructed the vbmeta's into json format. my current a/b vbmeta.img's had a security patch date of july, whereas when i got to my vbmeta_system_b file, i noticed that it had the correct date of august. so i just got done flashing the respective vbmeta over to all slots, and wiped userdata as it seems to require that each go around or else it will boot into recovery.

as oos loads up now i can see that i still have no radios, but this is inconclusive because the last thing i did before this the other day, was wipe both modem1 and modem2 in hopes that they would regenerate themselves possibly. not sure if that's the case so i will flash the backups back over now and report back if this actually helped solve the problem. if not i'm gonna manually edit the vbmeta and repack it if that's possible with/without needing keys in this scenario.

i was going to add the tags

prior to realizing that the security patch dates were off, so went with the minor effort first. this will be my next attempt if the the former doesn't work. thanks for the links, those actually helped a lot with understanding what's going on here.
[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] dmtec:
upon trying to pack the vbmeta back together, it spits out an error that it doesn't know what those flags are and fails to compile. so for future reference, that won't work. so i edited just the fingerprint and patch date and flashed it to both slots. it's obvious here that the vbmeta and vbmeta_system are strikingly different, as the og vbmeta retains the keys for all partitions whereas the system one does not.
[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] PsYk0n4uT:
and yes i posted a short how to in hopes that others could get an idea of how to root the device. i have posted the boot images for the previous patches but i dont have the time now to even sit and spend on updating so i dont have the boot image to share. do you mind if i link to your post in the other thread?
[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] dmtec:
my bad for the confusion, it was like right when I posted this someone other than you had posted a guide at the trail end of one of the threads.

you're welcome to share this anywhere, I don't mind. but what happened here is even though I was active in b this whole time, I think the newer boot img resided in a, and I made the mistake of only backing up b. it wasn't until I found the boot image editor tool that I was able to see that it wasn't an august boot image. so therefore I lost it.

im gonna open a second claim on my phone because the first one got stolen before I could get my unlock token, and this is probably just gonna be my development device for now. commandeering my wife's moto 5g stylus isn't gonna fair well for much longer lol.

until I can get an august boot img and vbmeta, this one is just gonna have to sit out for now.

when i click on the Gsi link it just starts downloading Lineage 19.1
[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] PsYk0n4uT:
I think if you really want to get it going you could probably flash everything to may or July, the required images should be here on this forum.. that should get you to where you can update to August again
[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] DrScrad:
Have you tried going back to complete stock and then trying to tpull that boot.img and flashing with magisk? and then once the boot.img is patched and flashed, one thing that to tthis day i forget to do more trhan antyhing is to issue the following command at some piont before rebooting out of fastboot:

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img
[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] DrScrad:
Or are you having a hard time pulling your boot.img from the jump?/ wshich step is currently tripping you up?
[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] DrScrad:
So it's failing while you're letting magisk patch it?
[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] DrScrad:
so.. so have you n ot tried using a different version of magisk to patch said boot.img?
[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] DrScrad:
Look at you go.. right on man.. I'm telling you, some of the most important yet memorable experiences since getting into this **** was when i'd be left out to dsry but would eventually figure out whstever it was that was puzzling me.. looksl ike the same just happened with you. ;-)
[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] PsYk0n4uT:
This is the incremental ota and won't do most ppl much good. If u would please use payload dumper and dump the file u will see which partitions the ota updates and those are the partitions someone would have to pull from their updated device and upload in order for everyone to have access to the full.

Follow these steps to erase FRP partition and remove FRP lock in case you don't have access to the previous Google account.

It will work with either locked or unlocked bootloader. Root not needed. You need to factory reset the device so any data will be lost.

1. Install latest QPST and Qualcomm USB Driver. Easy to find with a simple google search.

2. Download the NOAUTH firehose file from here: https://xdaforums.com/t/solved-i-need-help-edl-9t-lime.4385727/

3. Browse and select the patched firehose file.

4. Remove SIM tray and carefully pry open the back cover. Be careful with the fingerprint sensor ribbon cable. See youtube for tutorial.

5. Unscrew and remove the top cover. Search youtube for tutorial.

6. Two test points are under the cover, at the lower left corner. Google search for "EDL test points POCO M3" to find them.

7. Connect the phone to PC while shorting the two test points with a pair of tweezers.

8. Open QFIL.

9. Select "Flat Build".

10. Open "Select Port" and select the phone, press OK. Make a note of the COM port number, you will need it later.

11. Go to "Tools" -> "Partition Manager", open it and don't close anything during the next steps.

12. Open a command line with Administrator privileges and change to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\QPST\bin" directory.

13. Type the following commands to create an empty frp binary file:

fsutil file createnew frp_blank.bin 524288
fsutil file setzerodata offset=0 length=524288 frp_blank.bin

14. Type the following command to get a backup of the current frp just in case anything goes wrong. Use the COM number you noted previously instead of COM1:

fh_loader.exe --port=\\.\COM1 --convertprogram2read --sendimage=frp_original.bin --start_sector=152 --lun=0 --num_sectors=128 --noprompt --showpercentagecomplete --zlpawarehost=1 --memoryname=ufs

15. Type the following command to erase the frp:

fh_loader.exe --port=\\.\COM1 --sendimage=frp_blank.bin --start_sector=152 --lun=0 --noprompt --showpercentagecomplete --zlpawarehost=1 --memoryname=ufs

16. Remove cables, screw everything back and use recovery mode to factory reset the phone.
[POCO M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChayimEliezer:
I get this error after inserting the command

fsutil file setzerodata offset=0 length=524288 frp_blank.bin

Error: The system cannot find the file specified
[POCO M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] eLeKtriK EyE:
Maybe fsutil is not present at your system?

You can try other methods to create an empty file with size 524288 bytes. Using a hex editor such as HxD for example, create a new file and fill it with zeroes up to 0x80000 (fill some by hand, then copy and paste to do it easier). Save it as frp_blank.bin and verify its size is exactly 524288 bytes. Then proceed with the next steps normally.
[POCO M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChayimEliezer:

I have the phone connected to the pc with usb cable but the qfil set the phone to edl mode, is this what causes the problem ? because qfil worked perfectly
[POCO M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] eLeKtriK EyE:
Ok, try the following first

fsutil file createnew frp_blank.bin 524288

Then continue from step 13.
[POCO M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChayimEliezer:
Now it worked, but how come there was no such file if it has frp locked?
[POCO M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] eLeKtriK EyE:
You create this empty file only to upload it to the phone at the next steps.

Thanks, anyway, I amended the instructions.
[POCO M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChayimEliezer:
Why did you need to connect to EDL test points? I flashed the "Config" partition that has the FRP data in it with QFIL with USB connection, with the file you created and it removed the FRP lock
[POCO M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] eLeKtriK EyE:
How did you manage to boot into EDL mode then?
[POCO M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChayimEliezer:
QFIL automatically put it into EDL mode
[POCO M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] eLeKtriK EyE:
I thought you should be in EDL mode before starting QFIL. If you got away without tearing the phone apart, that's much better of course.
[POCO M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChayimEliezer:
I connected to QFIL via FTM (Factory Test Mode) and after uploading the firehouse file and clicking on “manage partitions” it automatically changed it into EDL mode.

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] coroasvt:
Hi

Asking for a bit of help here.

I installed a reverse camera on my Opel Astra J that has a PX5 Android head unit but the unit doesn't detect the reverse camera when I engage reverse.

The camera has LEDs and they light up so the camera is powered correctly to the reverse lights. I've connected the red +12V cable that comes with the RCA cable to the same reverse light point and to the "reverse" labelled cable on the back of the unit but still I get no image, only the yellow warning icon.

I've connected the RCA cable coming from the Camera to a TV with a RCA input (thank god I had a CRT stored at my house :D) and I can see the image from the camera on that TV.

I also used a multimeter to check if I get current on the red cable that comes with the RCa cable and it does have current when I engage the reverse gear.

I tried to ask the seller (bought the unit over 2 years ago but still waiting for somekind of answer although I got none so far).

Does anyone know what I might be missing here?

Appreciate any help. Take care!
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] coroasvt:
Just some more information:

My MCU is a MCTE_MX2_V3.30

I tried to see if the current that goes from the reverse light to the radio was at least as strong as the one from the cigarette lighter and it seems so (125mA) so I really don't know why doesn't the radio show the camera image.

[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] DidierMoulin:
Thank you very much for maintaining OrangeFox!

Since I'm new on an A/B device, I do have a question concerning

installing magisk and keeping custom recovery

.

As far as I understand, boot.img is modified by flashing orangefox.zip in recovery. What about magisk? Can I do a backup of the boot.img (hopefully) containing orangefox and flash back in recovery? Or is it best to use magisk addon from inside orangefox or flash magisk.apk from inside orangefox recovery?

Guide @ https://wiki.orangefox.tech/en/guides/flashing says to flash magisk once orangefox.zip is flashed an rebooted into recovery, but also, that:

One thing to note with respect to A/B devices is that, with respect to flashing ROMs, ... you must,

immediately

after flashing a ROM..., flash the OrangeFox zip again,

then change slots

,

then reboot OrangeFox,

before

doing anything else. ...

iirc I did that and messed up the data & system_root partition or soemthing, so I reflashed stock rom and tried again. This time I just fastbooted into orangefox recovery and installed the orangefox.zip and it sticsk, flashed a custom rom (e.g. arrow or evolution or xdroid) but didn't slots and neither indstalklked magisk in any way. It works. So what about that slot changing? Better not?

Can you please hint in the right direction and if possible I'd like to understand what's going on, too.

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] zelos156:
Well done bro!
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] DidierMoulin:
Well, to answer myself: when booting into recovery, just flash magisk or use orangefox magisk installer addon. It modifies the active a/ or B slot. While flashing a new rom is flashing it to the inactive A or B slot. After a reboot the newly flashed slot will become active, therefore install magisk (or any other) after reboot into recovery, when flashed new rom. But then the advice to change slot seems to be wrong :-?

[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Atexor:
We have A/B devices, so just move to the folder where you have that .img and use following command in console while you are in fastboot:

Hi. I understood that in file manager TWRP and OrangeFox "Read-only file system". Cant move/delete/chmod files in /system_root folders. Is it problem recovery or stock android 12 ?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] psklf:
I see your point.

Op didn't provide zip file, my way to flash it is

1. fastboot boot .img

2. find the option "Flash this recovery" in orange recovery and choose.
