Redmagic 8 pro eea rom 9.0.8 How do I pass? I can't find the ROM.
[Red Magic 8 pro] CcX85:
Hi there,

I recently purchased an RM8PRO that came unlocked but not fully set up, and it doesn't have Magisk installed.

The fingerprint sensor is still working.

I'm debating whether I need or want the bootloader to remain unlocked. I would like to know if I can still use all non-gaming everyday apps, especially banking apps, without issues, as this is my main phone.

What are the main reasons or benefits for rooting this device?

Is OS 9 coming to this model?

I'm new to this phone, but I was heavily involved with custom ROMs about 10 years ago.

Can i update it directly or need to be in correct version?
[Red Magic 8 pro] tristan7700:
And thank you very mush too 😁
[Red Magic 8 pro] jaimele:
You have to start from the European rom, although it can also work from the American 3.40 rom or 4.40.

Once you choose which rom you want to go to, the European or American version, you can no longer go back or even change the rom to another European or American version. It already follows its line to the rom you have chosen, in previous versions if you let it go back from os8 you can no longer.
[Red Magic 8 pro] tristan7700:
Cool i have eu rom 8.0.6 i update now 🤩🤩👍
[Red Magic 8 pro] jaimele:
I seem to remember that both OS 8 and OS 9 do not have a backup copy like in previous versions, only the backup is with Google and I don't like those ROMs, I don't know how you see it u.u
[Red Magic 8 pro] tristan7700:
No problem i just updated ! No rest to factory! So i am good !

Phone seem snapier !!! And i have already see some bugs gone ! Thank!!!
[Red Magic 8 pro] jaimele:
I tried the os9 and it's great. It has a power option to make the device go even faster, and you can also add, I think, an additional virtual 12GB of ram. Even the load separation works great without problems, in previous versions it was obsolete.

The only drawback I see is that they have removed the Backup and it only works with Google. I think I have the original apk of the backup device I can send it to you if you want
[Red Magic 8 pro] tristan7700:
Don't worry i only use google anyway! Not a problem for me !
[Red Magic 8 pro] tristan7700:
What options? For making the phone faster?
[Red Magic 8 pro] jaimele:
If you press and hold at the bottom of the initial screen you will get an energy option and you will get 3 options in which mode you want the speed device to be in.Also if you go to settings and for storage you can add more ram memory to the device but it is virtual memory, do not confuse it with physical ram memory. This will make the device go faster.
[Red Magic 8 pro] tristan7700:
If you press and hold at the bottom of the initial screen ? I am probably dumb , but can i ask what is this "initial" screen and where i have to press and hold ?

Screenshot maybe pls ... ?

I am french and it's sometimes difficult for me !

Thx man
[Red Magic 8 pro] jaimele:
As I told you before, I don't have the rom 9, I use the 4.48. I tried os9 before but I didn't like it and I went back to the previous version through edl china and then flashing the eu rom.
[Red Magic 8 pro] jaimele:
En este menú te aparecerán otras opciones como un nombre llamado energético o algo así, lamento no poder ayudarte mucho. No tengo esa rom ahora mismo porque no me gusta, pero es similar a la captura de pantalla que tomé.

Can someone pass the OS 9 ROM for the RedMagic 8 pro plus version NX729J?

This version is for the RedMagic 8S I believe, but when I try to install it it tells me that it is from another version of the phone.
[Red Magic 8 pro] jaimele:
no, the version is 8 pro.
[Red Magic 8 pro] monto2:
Well, when I try to install it tells me that it is for another model. Apart from that, the file says NX729S, which is the 8S as I understand it.

Do I have to update with the PC, otherwise it doesn't work? (it can be that)

This is what it tells me (I attach a photo):
[Red Magic 8 pro] jaimele:
Sometimes it doesn't work the first time and you have to download it again. it is red 8 pro.because they gave it to me from red magic itself and they told me that both the 8 pro and the 8 s pro roms work for both
[Red Magic 8 pro] monto2:
Yes, I contacted RedMagic because the same version appears on the website and the same error appears. I'm waiting for a response, I tried several times and it doesn't work. I inform you, I hope they respond quickly.
[Red Magic 8 pro] jaimele:
This rom was given to me by the red magic house. But it only works if you are on OS 6. If you have OS 9 and want to downgrade the version it does not work .For it to work it has to be the same version or higher.
[Red Magic 8 pro] monto2:
I have version OS6 4.48 and it won't let me, and with 8.0.8 I couldn't either...
[Red Magic 8 pro] jaimele:
try downloading it again. Do you have a problem with not receiving updates?
[Red Magic 8 pro] monto2:
If I install version 4.18 from the first post, it updates me until I reach 4.48, then it goes to 8.0.8 and if I want to update more than 8.0.8 it doesn't let me, it just reinstalls 4.48. (The same thing happens with version 4.40 on the official website.)

I'm attaching photos in case you see anything strange.

I think it can unbrick your phone if you can use QFIL to flash it. I have not been able to do so using four different PCs, various cables, and various suggestions from internet to fix the error "Sahara fail".
[Red Magic 8 pro] aaa.bbb111222:
"Sahara communication failed", right? I remember having this error them I used windows in VirtualBox. It was tricky to get it working, but in the something worked. AFAIR vol+ and vol- while turned off for 30 seconds, start download in MSM Tool (guess we'll need QFIL/QSPT here, no idea what's the difference), then connect via USB and release volume buttons after it will start downloading.
[Red Magic 8 pro] Adolyer:
Make sure you are in edl mode and see if there is a Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 port in the device manager.

the software in this video seems a little easier. There is a link in the description.

but as i said i didn't install full software. The responsibility is entirely yours.
[Red Magic 8 pro] tknguyencsu@gmail.com:
My phone has been in edl mode with Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 port all the times I tried. I have tried to flash this rom with QFIL almost 100 times using 4 different PCs, two different cables with one from red magic 8 pro and with various suggestions from the internet but I have not been able to flash the rom.
[Red Magic 8 pro] Adolyer:
If you're using USB 3.0, you can also try 2.0. As an alternative, you can download the software here and put the device in fastbootd mode and flash the v3.18 software with the payload.bin file. Then you can upgrade to v3.19 via OTA.
[Red Magic 8 pro] tknguyencsu@gmail.com:
I already tried USB 2.0. I can flash v3.18 using sideload. However I have bootloop so I cannot upgrade to V3.19 via OTA. My only hope is to be able to flash V3.19 to boot the phone. I can lock and unlock the bootloader, get into recovery and fastbootd but no matter what I try I can not boot the phone.
[Red Magic 8 pro] Dont_touch7:
I try to flash it but not working , Are you sure its for 4.18?
[Red Magic 8 pro] Adolyer:
Run this code in fastboot mode.

fastboot set-active other

fastboot reboot

Wait for a while like this and see if the device turns on. If it does not open, try flashing the firmware in this way.
[Red Magic 8 pro] tknguyencsu@gmail.com:
I already tried to flash the firmware in both slots but it does not work.
[Red Magic 8 pro] tknguyencsu@gmail.com:
Adolyer already tested it by flashing the system.img from the rom.
[Red Magic 8 pro] Dont_touch7:
hello please someone help me, I lost my software , not its stuck on fastboot

message is ( your device is corrupt . it cant be trusted...etc

I NEET TO UNBRICK IT
[Red Magic 8 pro] tknguyencsu@gmail.com:
Run this code in fastboot mode.

fastboot set_active other (not the slash _ in between set and active)

fastboot reboot

You just change to other slot and try to boot the phone. If it does not work you can go to recovery, choose English, when you see Wipe data, then type

adb reboot sideload

when the screen come back with two errors notes in the bottom of the screen then type

adb sideload NX729J-update.zip (the name of your rom) and wait until it is done. If the flash is successful you will have a 2.00 transfer display on the pc. You can then wipe data and wipe data again using the second wipe option. If you are lucky your phone will boot.
[Red Magic 8 pro] Dont_touch7:
C:\Users\N\Desktop\r>adb sideload NX729J-update.zip

thats a message I got :(
[Red Magic 8 pro] tknguyencsu@gmail.com:
If your boot loader is lock. You cannot use sideload.
[Red Magic 8 pro] Dont_touch7:
No it’s unlocked but Im searching about unbrick file for free didnt found it
[Red Magic 8 pro] tknguyencsu@gmail.com:
You can download V3.19 from post #30. This is the same file you have to pay for the prog_firehose_ddr.elf. You can try to flash with QFIL or miflash.

I attach a text file you can change it to red8n.bat and run it in command window (or you can execute each command one by one) with the same images files obtained from the payload.bin of the rom you want to flash. If you are lucky your phone will boot.
[Red Magic 8 pro] Dont_touch7:
I will try and keep you in touch , thanks alot bro I appreciate your efforts
[Red Magic 8 pro] Dont_touch7:
Sorry for late, I try bat file didnt solve it , then trying QFIL I got QSaharaServer fail process fail

I found the instruction I used for dealing with sahara communication errors on 1+7Pro:

This seemed to work on W10 PC with MSM Download tool, but might as well work with other EDL tools.

Maybe we can try to make .ops for MSM Download tool, there's a tool for that. That's probably a bad idea, it might apply some kind of signature

Where to download? Didn't get from ota
[Red Magic 8 pro] graynada:
I got it OTA this afternoon, about 1500 BST
[Red Magic 8 pro] lawtq:
Lol. How's battery life so far? Probably way too early to ask. 😂

It's just that, my oppo find x6 pro has battery life that's just as amazing as the redmagic 8 pro, I know it has ltpo but that alone shouldn't match a 6000mah phone. The redmagic needs battery optimization. Even the s23 ultra was almost as good on battery

Plus I'm hearing the rog phone 7 is just on another level battery wise
[Red Magic 8 pro] graynada:
I can't comment on any difference in the battery life since the update but overall I'm happy with the battery life so far. For my level of usage its solid for well over 24 hours so never any worry I will run out. Recharges insanely quick.

However, my previous phone was a Zenfone 6 and I must say Asus have the battery management well sorted. That thing lasted for ever, and even at over 3 years old the battery performance had not reduced noticeably. I put this down to features like you could set to stop charging at 80% or 90%, I always used 90%, and you could set to trickle charge overnight so that it would do a slow charge to be your set level at a set time, thus not stressing the battery with fast or continuous charging. These are features I believe all phone manufacturers should implement to extend battery life and I'm not expecting the Red Magic battery to be good after 3 years.

Having said that if anyone knows the API for the switching to the 'powered by charger feature' I would have a go at writing an app that would at least switch to that mode at full charge, or if possible a preselected level (I was going to start a separate thread on this!)

Other Asus battery management features were slightly less helpful, disabling or limiting app activity could make things like emails needing to be pulled rather than getting regular push notifications like I get now on the Red Magic. I guess you can't have it all :)

Long answer to a short question and probably not the right thread to include it in!
[Red Magic 8 pro] Alextakatu:
Agh as always Ota not available, wondering if it’s cause I got a eu version even though I’m in Mexico. Second you on battery life, im getting from 48 to 58 hours (depending on usage) with around 7/ 8 sot (can get more, but I use plenty usb c dac dongles for audio purposes) though i do think that using a slower charger could increase battery life in the long run, I’m using a 50w charger though i think I’ll swap to my iPads charger that’s around twenty something
[Red Magic 8 pro] lawtq:
Thanks for the reply. Yes Asus battery management is legendary.

Shame about redmagics update frequency, so slow! Had an update one week apart on the oppo find x6 pro. Time to try out this new redmagic update

hello, my name is eric and ive been flashing phones sucessfully for quite some time now. but never have ii seen such a garbo phone such as this rm8pro i feel i wasted my moneym upon. if anyone can help to relieve me of theses emotions ill be elated.

ive tried almost 200 now to flash this device in every possible way to get out of fastboot/recovery/fastbootd loops and hopefully boot the dang phone again. id sucesfully rooted but then thought id like a working lockscreen so i attempteed to revert and thats when all hell broke loose.
[Red Magic 8 pro] MeTeC:
Can someone explain me what are the steps required to update the phone and stay rooted ?
[Red Magic 8 pro] kylegp:
I haven't tried it yet but I'm pretty sure you can just flash the stock init_boot.img, update OTA and then repatch/reflash your init_boot.img and reinstall magisk.
[Red Magic 8 pro] vadizzi:
you need to do sideload using the rom that you root. if you can not load in system then load to fastbootd choose recovery and dont touch anything on the phone. then write adb sideload rom.zip
[Red Magic 8 pro] IKAIOS:
sideloading no longer working phone just reboots says closed or says cannot read command
[Red Magic 8 pro] IKAIOS:
i believe at this point imma need somones backup if theyre willing and if successful il pay them
[Red Magic 8 pro] MeTeC:
Thank you for your help.

So to be sure that I understand correctly.

--> extracting the "ini_boot.img" file from the new update with a software like FastBootEnhance

--> updating my phone normally via the "System Update" inside settings

--> reflashing the "ini_boot.img" through ADB command

If you can confirm this I would really appreciate.

[Red Magic 8 pro] krypt0se:
Just update using the three dots on the system update menu and select 'Local update' and point to the manually download update zip. once installed , do not reboot. Open up magisk and click install select 'Install on inactive slot(after OTA)'. No need to mess around with anything else.
[Red Magic 8 pro] MeTeC:
Would you mind explaining what is the difference between updating locally or directly downloading by clicking on "Download and install" ?
[Red Magic 8 pro] krypt0se:
Download and install would fail on a rooted phone, you need a full image zip ~5G from one of the links in the previous posts, you can try it and see what happens (just don't reboot, incase it installs successfully).
[Red Magic 8 pro] kylegp:
Check out the steps here: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/ota.html

What I was suggesting was flashing the stock init_boot.img, running the ota update then patching the newest init_boot.img and flashing it back.

The guide above basically does this in an elegant and easy way through magisk.

It seems that ZTE doesn't want to give us EDL unbricking utility (like MSM Tool for BBK devices). Can't get anything except "The tool is directly downloaded under port 9008 which is not open to end users as it will result in the loss of IMEI and calibration data." from them. We need to put pressure for them to provide this tool.

I guess they are talking about persist.img, does someone know for sure? In any case, that data could be probably restored from backups. We should email them to get that tool. It would be really nice for custom rom development as well (and stock firmware is just bad).

Mention https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualcomm_EDL_mode link in email so that they would understand what they are being asked for.

So far, 20 hours after last charge with 2 hours SOT has used 14% battery, had a 2% decrease during idle at night. A bit better than 418, though I followed someones advice and restricted a ton of stuff, only apps I really need with notifications are banking apps and WhatsApp.
