Thank you for your reply, so that means I can flash any global rom using MI flash tool and then relock my bootloader again?

Thanks for this tutorial! I'm following through it now on my Cat S22 Flip with v30 firmware.

I'm in between steps 11 and 12 and my phone seems to be stuck on the T-mobile screen when booting.

I did try running the command in step 12, but I've only seen it saying "waiting for device" in the terminal.

This was the most recent line of code. How long do I wait? Is this a long process, or did I somehow brick the phone?

Hey, so you haven't been able to get into fastboot mode?

It sounds like you haven't flashed anything to the device yet?

In which case I'd say you should be OK.

You ran "adb reboot fastboot" and the phone just stayed on T-mobile screen?

Try taking out the battery, put it back in, hold volume down and power to turn on the phone.

It should go straight to fastboot mode where you can run the fastboot flash command.

Here is a image of what fastboot should look like:

And this is fastbootd:

View attachment 6002137

You want to be in fastboot mode, though I have flashed boot OK in fastbootd too.

Did you unlock enable OEM unlocking in developer options and do "fastboot flashing unlock" ?

If you did it should show "DEVICE STATE - unlocked" like in my photo above.

This wipes user data, so if you reboot after doing it, it can take a while to turn on.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] WebSlingrX:
Worked great. Only "difficult" part was realizing there was a difference of being in fastbootd vs fastboot on step 10.

Tools that were needed on Fedora (had some already installed with Android Studio)

dnf install adb jmtpfs libudisks2-dev gvfs-backends gvfs-mtp

Any post root recommendations?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jcul:
I used the debloater app from F-Droid to remove some bloatware.

I removed some google apps, but just disabled ones I may need from time to time.

These are the APKs I nuked:

AdaptClient.apk
CarrierDeviceManager.apk
CellBroadcastAppPlatform.apk
DuoGo.apk
FM2.apk
FilesGoogle.apk
Keep.apk
MCM_Sprint.apk
MessagesGo.apk
MobileInstaller.apk
RSUApp.apk
SMF.apk
Support.apk
T-Mobile_Diagnostics.apk
TMO.Lab.apk
TMobile.apk
Videos.apk
VisualVoicemail.apk
YTMusic.apk
YouTube.apk

I also disabled the stupid boot and shutdown animations with the workers.

I used magisk for this, so as to not have to mess around with editing the system partition directly.

You just have to remove the files bootanimation.zip and shutdownanimation.zip from /system/media.

Now I just get a nice android logo when starting on the internal and external screen, so no more T-mobile or workers. Though T-Mobile still shows on the external screen during early boot, probably not much can be done about that.

I manually create the magisk module, but I attached an installable zip if you are interested.

It just nukes the /system/media directory.

Install it by going to magisk, modules, install from storage.

Note, the phone uses the standard android bootanimations format, so you could also use any custom boot animation, there are lots posted on XDA.

The other thing I did is patch the Kika keyboard.

I don't use T9, I used the ABC input mode, and for me Kika works really well.

Other recoment Old T9 or Traditional T9 apps, but if not actually using T9 they aren't great IMO.

The only issue I had with Kika is that every time the keyboard opens it goes to T9 mode, so you have to switch to ABC mode.

I patched the app so it always opens in ABC mode.

I attached my patched Kika if anyone is interested, you actually don't need root.

It just installs alongside the system one as a separate keyboard you can activate in settings.

This is my patch:

I installed LSposed and then used the Xposed edge-app to set the PTT-button (button 300) to toggle the keyboard backlight on long press with this shell command:

if [ $(settings get global keyboard_light_enabled) -eq 0 ] ; then settings put global keyboard_light_enabled 1 ; echo 255 >> /sys/class/leds/keyboard_light/brightness ; else settings put global keyboard_light_enabled 0 ; echo 0 >> /sys/class/leds/keyboard_light/brightness ; fi

I installed GravityBox [R] for some additional fixes, for example lowering the minimum lcd-backlight setting. The outer screen is extremely bright, but i've found no way of lowering the backlight unfortunately.

I've also enabled AptX with the aptx-HD-magisk module. Unfortunately Apt-X HD won't work, don't know why. I had it working when i tried out a GSI Lineage build.... LDAC or Apt-X HD would be really nice to get working.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Baelgeth:
This is great! Thank you.

I checked for root after only flashing the boot.img you kindly provided, and I also already had root. Do you recommend flashing the vbmeta.img as well anyway?

I had a little trouble with the fastboot step as well on Ubuntu. I'll leave what I did here, in case anyone else is having trouble:

I downloaded the apk and unpacked it, then worked from that directory. adb went fine, but booting into fastboot from adb only booted into fastbootd. I had to hold down volume down + power until it booted into fastboot.

Once I was in fastboot, I could not see any devices. I could see it in lsusb/dmesg (I even tried fastboot -i with the id, but no luck). It seems there was a problem with udev rules when you just unpack the apk platform tools. So I installed the platform tool package through apt, rebooted, and it worked!

Also, (although it goes without saying, really) for step 7 you need to do adb install on the Magisk.apk

Thanks again!

Hey, this might be a dumb question but how do you know if your phone is at V30? Also would rooting, then using something like a build prop editor to switch from Android 11 Go to regular Android 11 allow the use of live wallpapers? If not has anybody figured out how to allow their use?

Thanks!

@FayadFayad, there is no need to use imagepatchtools, patched images are already there at end of the first post. You will only need to patch using magisk.

I believe it'll be under Settings > About Phone, and scroll down to Build number.

Mine says LTE_S02113.11_N_S22Flip_0.0.30.03 ... so I believe that means I have v30.

EDIT: but a brand new S22 never connected to the internet will say:

LTE_S02113.11_N_S22Flip_0.027.03

which makes me belief it shipped with version 27

After rooting/ magisk/ and adding play integrity fix module, I am getting "device not certified" in "play protect certification" in google play store, while cat s22 flip is google certified device. Is this due to rooting or there is some other issue?

EDIT: issue solved after clearing cache and storage in play store. Probably solved after play integrity fix module.

Ok first off I'm a total noob. I'm stuck around step 10. If I use the adb command the phone boots into fastbootd. I can get to fastboot using the volume down button. When I enter the fastboot flashing unlock command it just says waiting for any device and doesn't do anything. When I fast boot again the Device State still shows locked. Any help is appreciated!

Hey everyone!

I followed the steps here and everything worked out buuuut I can't lock the bootloader. Well, I locked it and the device told me it's "corrupt" and can't boot. Unlocking it again let's me boot the device again, it performed a reset though.

Is locking the bootloader possible at all? Is there a way to fix it or other steps to take?

I deleted several apps prior to an attempted bootloader lock, namely the T-Mobile apps, YT, Maps, etc. all apps which I suspected aren't necessary.

Weeeell... stuck there!

In any case, is there a list with Google Apps that can be safely deleted?

Best, lvat

Yo I just got this thing working (thanks a million for this detailed tutorial), but I've got some issues with the WI-FI not working and audio from calls not coming through (looks like the mic is not working either).

In Magisk it looks like I've got version 26.4 (26400) installed. I think the modem.img module needs to be patched and flashed but I'm unsure of what the target checksum (<tgt_sha1>) is meant to be.

Any ideas?

[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] sarib:
Hi there! I'm having trouble flashing my Nord N200 because the bootloader is currently locked. It's a T-Mobile variant and I have enabled the OEM Unlock toggle in the developer options, but unlocking requires an unlock file to be flashed via fastboot. I've applied for carrier unlocking via the One Plus website, but unfortunately, I haven't received any response from them. When I tried to contact customer support, they advised me to insert a T-Mobile SIM card into my N200, but I live outside the US and this isn't possible for me. Is there any way to unlock my carrier and subsequently unlock the bootloader so I can flash a custom ROM? I would really appreciate your help - I've been struggling with this for days!
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] lzgmc:
I assume that by "carrier unlocking", I assume you went to https://www.oneplus.com/us/unlock_token. Did you wait 7 days after filling out the form?
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] sarib:
Hello, my friend. I applied there but after more than 2 weeks they didn't send any follow-up, so I went to their support channel and e-mailed them. They then told me that my N200 should be carrier unlocked if I wanted to get an OEM unlock code :cry:
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] lzgmc:
Huh, if you were able to enable the OEM unlocking toggle and fill out the form, they should give you the code eventually, unless they're actually checking to see if your device is actually unlocked.

Even if you didn't get an email back, did you click "Check my applications" on the form to see if your request was finished yet?
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] sarib:
That (application status) is still in the processing state but I talked to OnePlus support representative over chat, thank God she sent me the file without any questions
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] thinkmac:
Thanks for the heads up. It looks like OP no longer let you unlock bootloader if the IMEI is still showing carrier locked status. I will reach out to OP support staff and see if they can send me the file without asking any questions

Update: reached out to support, and I was told that they will escalate the case, and get back to me in 2 to 4 biz days.
[Off-topic] Privacydroid:
Spain is pushing the the chatcontrol bill for all EU member states, this new law clearly would bypass all encrpytion by forcing all software to include "server side scaning" or "client-side scaning".

All software would be forced to scan your phone's content, for example if you use signal or whatsapp that use EEE (end to end encryption) this would be useless because your message would be scanned before you even sent it. It is really disturbing how the EU is becomming China 2.0, should this bill seriously become reality it would be wise for countrys to leave the EU.

Anyways i wanted to ask if this sick chatcontrol would affect custom roms aswell, for example if i'd install signal on lineageos would they be able to scan my message content even then?

The anser is most likely yes because signal itself would be forced by law to scan my messages so the OS doesn't really matter.

In this scenario how could i possibly maintain privacy / anonimity? Would we have to download EEE apps from countrys that aren't affected by the chatcontrol law and would that work?

I absolutely do not like how the internet is changing.

When I'm in a call on Windows Mobile 6 (with verizon xv6800), using the wheel to turn the volume higher or lower doesn't change the volume whatsoever.

It may have to do with the fact that I got a new audiopara file, but I went back to the old one today and the problem still remains.

I have a registry editor.... maybe there's a way I can enable volume control again. The wheel makes it go up and down but the volume itself is the same all the time.
