Yes yes i kno i looked at both explanations on how to do it but i still cant comprehend on how to do it.

I asked questions how in 2 threads about it and have no reply's so i decided to make a thread lol

I downloaded the pack from one of the guides i cant remember whos, and it has the 3 files i need to instal onto my phone, but there not in cab form, there ZIP files, is that how there susposed to be.

I read both guides and neither said where to install them at.

Also do i need a custom rom to finish hard spl'ing my phone?

Because one guide had it showing to put a rom on during hard spling or something and the other dont.

Im sorry if this is a stupid question but no1 was replying to my questions under the 2 guides.

If some one could give a step by step DETAILED. (detailed like telling a foreigner or a toddler) steps on how to hard spl and if i need a rom afterwords...

.

Thanks
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] gaboquin:
I know how that feels... Check out this thread "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=358225"... There is a step by step on how to hardSPL... And may also wanna check "http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL%20Questions%3F" that explains what is hardSPL and softSPL and what is SPL hehehe...

And well the files MUST be unzipd, then u copy/paste em into ur cellphone and run em.

U'll know u have hardSPL when u enter bootloader mode (hold camera button and then with stylus press softreset, release stylus and hold camera until u see a 3 color screen, there it will say 4.xxxx Yang - thats the hardSPL because it stays on ROM instead of the RAM - thats softSPL)...
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] 614joe:
Thanks.

Do i just paste the files onto the phone not in any specific folder? (mycomputer;mobile device;...........)

This is pry one of the eaisest things to do and i cant understand lol.

-If i mess up, will i mess up my phone/brick it? (knowing me i will i mess up on everything lol)
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] jchitwood85:
No offense Joe (Im just taking an extremely educated guess that Joe is your name lol) but if your reading the threads and still are unsure, I wouldnt do it myself if I were you, not to say your incapable but mistakes happen and Id hate to see you brick it or mess anything up! Do you have any friends or family that have any expriance? Or you could go to my favorite place for information.... Google! look up info on SPL,HardSPL,Flashing,ROM,Bricking,etc. But if you incist on doing it blind I wont stop ya lol!

Your images are EEA(Europe) or Global?

Looks like they are PongEEA(Europe)

Do these images act like a fastboot rom and i can use it to restore/rollback via fastboot?
[Nothing Phone 2] tlmbl99:
Hi guys, need help on this one please. I can access my bootloader but can't access the recovery (after a failed TWRP install attempt and a Magisk module bootloop). Is there anything I can flash into fastboot mode in order to boot into recovery mode or restore the factory image?
[Nothing Phone 2] therealashish:
Flashing NothingMuchRom worked for me in this scenario.
[Nothing Phone 2] spikerspike97:
Can I flash those via a the orangefox recovery with a previous uninstall of magisk to update the system?

Hi, question, whats the combining of files instructions?

And also, can we then flasy via Orange fix recovery via the OTA function to get in the latest version as assume it upgrades?

Thanks in advance.
[Nothing Phone 2] xtcislove:
Used your image_archive to update to 2.5.1 early.

Worked fine, thank you!
[Nothing Phone 2] buu'buu:
Hi @slewis1972 ,

For your first question, you have to do it on a Linux system, I searched and tried on Windows11 and I didn't succeed.

If you don't have Linux, the other solution is to use a virtual machine like "VMware Workstation 17 player", there is a free non-commercial version.

For this you need

-A USB key formatted in exFAT (because this format does not have the limit of 4 gigabytes per file, the size of the file to use for the update is more than 7 gigabytes).

-VMware which you can find here: VMware download site

-An image file of the Linux system....here: debian-12.4.0-amd64-netinst.iso

///Remember that you must unlock the files downloaded on Windows 11 (select the file with a left click and do alt+enter then select the unlock box and confirm with OK)///

Now

Install and launch VMware

Select "Create a New Virtual Machine"

View attachment 6045434

Select "Installer disc image file (iso)" and browse to your image file then "next"

View attachment 6045435

Specify disk capacity (You need at least 40GB, with 20 you won't have enough space to create the fastboot zip file). Then "next"

View attachment 6045438

Customize hardware if you want more RAM and CPU then "finish"

View attachment 6045444

Select "Play virtual machine" to start debian installationView attachment 6045448

Once on Debian operating system, open Firefox and download the four files for the version you want to install (2.0.4 version for example)

View attachment 6045465

In the download folder window, open the terminal by right-clicking.

And execute the following bold commands:

su (enter the administrator password you entered when installing Debian)

Optionnal: apt update && apt upgrade -y (to upgrade repos if necessary)

zstd -d fastboot-Pong_T2.0-231024-2214-image-split.zip.001.zst

zstd -d fastboot-Pong_T2.0-231024-2214-image-split.zip.002.zst

zstd -d fastboot-Pong_T2.0-231024-2214-image-split.zip.003.zst

zstd -d fastboot-Pong_T2.0-231024-2214-image-split.zip.004.zst

7z x fastboot-Pong_T2.0-231024-2214-image-split.zip.001

View attachment 6045456

View attachment 6045457

All that remains is to connect the USB key and copy the file

View attachment 6045463

Once the file is on the key, you can turn off VMware(very important, otherwise debian will interfere with the connection between the phone and windows) and go to Windows 11 to flash the ROM

View attachment 6045467

Good luck
[Nothing Phone 2] xtcislove:
Correct me if im wrong.

In this tutorial you installed linux on a VM to unpack the .zst files to get the fastboot-Pong_U2.5-231208-2206-image.zip file? Which you can install with "fastboot update xxx.zip"?

I did this on windows 11 yesterday with the 2.5.1 update.

If the answer is yes, simply use this on windows:

GitHub - mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd: 7-Zip with support for Brotli, Fast-LZMA2, Lizard, LZ4, LZ5 and Zstandard

7-Zip with support for Brotli, Fast-LZMA2, Lizard, LZ4, LZ5 and Zstandard - mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd

github.com
[Nothing Phone 2] buu'buu:
lol, thank you

Answer is yes

I used it yesterday and the resulting archive was corrupted, I couldn't open it.

So I fell back on the Linux terminal solution.

I just tried again and now it works, I don't see what I could have done wrong yesterday.

Really much simpler 🤯
[Nothing Phone 2] DiogoPdC:
What about macOS?
[Nothing Phone 2] DiogoPdC:
Did you update to 2.5.1 from 2.0.4 or OB 2? Thx
[Nothing Phone 2] buu'buu:
Don't have mac

Clean install from 2.0.4 to 2.5.1 for me.

Regardless of the version, for a complete installation, first run the command "fastboot -w" before "fastboot update /path/to/fastboot-*-image.zip"

At the end, before first system boot, you will have to wipe data in fastbootd.

Backup your data first.
[Nothing Phone 2] Unn113:
You guys can unpack zst files on windows using special 7zip version which you can find on github
[Nothing Phone 2] ffejy462:
Pardon my ignorance, and this is from legitimately trying to understand, but why is two compression methods used? I understand that you can archive zip, but unsure about zstd... Couldn't the entire thing be in a single zip? Aren't we doing that anyway?

Edit: thank you xtcislove That's the exact 7zip I was looking for, but was having a hard time finding it for some reasons
[Nothing Phone 2] xtcislove:
Its about files safety and size.

While size is obvious(in this case 3.5 vs 7.3gb), safety is about the curroption of files. Small files wont go corrupt as fast as big files and they are easier to reupload.
[Nothing Phone 2] xtcislove:
From 2.0.4, no wipe needed. (Used fastboot update 2.5.1.zip)

But with major updates like this i do a factory reset anyway.
[Nothing Phone 2] xtcislove:
There is zstd available for MacOS but dont ask me anything about mac.

Release Zstandard v1.5.5 · facebook/zstd

This is a quick fix release. The primary focus is to correct a rare corruption bug in high compression mode, detected by @danlark1 . The probability to generate such a scenario by random chance is ...

[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Is there a way to flash this with *#*#682#*#* ?

Or is it just fastboot?
[Nothing Phone 2] JuStar:
Do I need to have an unlocked bootloader in order to flash the update via fastboot?
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Yea of course.

Just haven't done it that way before.
[Nothing Phone 2] xtcislove:
fastboot only
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Actually no I flashed a full image with 682..
[Nothing Phone 2] xtcislove:
You are sure? There is literally nothing to check for the local update.

Left is fastboot and right an ota.

You are sure you used a fastboot rom?
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Got it from telegram mate, it's not publicly available.

Yes I'm 100% sure, I've only just installed it the other day..

More to the point, the 2.5.1 is much much heavier on battery, very little difference in terms of changes.
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Mate I'm a plonker, I think I've just installed a beta... 2.5.1

The stable update is just 2.5 right?

Or is it?
[Nothing Phone 2] xtcislove:
2.5.1 is stable for np(2)

2.5.1 is beta for np(1)

:p
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Righto, thanks man, I saw someone saying the opposite in the TG dev group and I wondered, because I'm finding it a bit buggy.. going from portrait to landscape is sluggish and the battery is something that rhymes with white (starts with sh...)

Hoping the next firmware sorts it out, I wish I'd stuck with 2.4.0
[Nothing Phone 2] xtcislove:
I did a full wipe with 2.5.1 and have no probleme with portrait to landscape or battery.

You could switch to 2.4.0 with edl tool......
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Yea I've got a V2 cable, just haven't used it before...not as simple as the old MSM..

EDL, connect, flash , done.

Might do a full wipe tbh, would be my first option.
[Nothing Phone 2] xtcislove:
If the phone is working you dont need a V2 cable. I used the edl tool with a cable from my logitech mouse :-D
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Yea I know mate, just if something goes wrong, I've been on the crappy end of a failed flash before and I had to RMA my device.
[Nothing Phone 2] Buster99:
nvm, brainfart with fastbootd...
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Grab the one I posted in the other thread should work from 2.4 to 2.5.1

Not sure how long the host will keep it online for though
[Nothing Phone 2] Buster99:
already done, had the wrong fastboot version on phone
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Did you choose the right slot? I've and that before, ended up in crash dump mode.
[Nothing Phone 2] xtcislove:
No i updated to 2.5.1 and to 2.5.1a via fastboot update image.zip and all went fine.

I flashed 2.5.1a again and it went fine.

md5 hash is correct too
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Are you using a script ? Does it ask for what slot you're on?

That's what I meant, I chose that wrong one and crash dump.

If it's not that then yes most likely the zip
[Nothing Phone 2] xtcislove:
i download the image files and store them into a zip file then i use this zip

Its simply "fastboot update Archive.zip"

I dont change the slot, its slot b for some updates. You think i should try the other slot?

I think im using EDL tool on weekend to rollback and gain the abiliity to use system updates again. They are broken for a while now.
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
If you use EDL tool then it'll actually break the updates if you're pushing a readback..

Not sure if it's actually the EDL file, I haven't done that yet, it may fix it.

Don't flash to the other slot if it's not active, you'll end up in crash dump, well that's what happened to me anyway.

Use the getvar all command to see what your active slot is and flash to that one.

Honestly never had so many issues updating to a new firmware on any phone.

Mine are also broken.
[Nothing Phone 2] xtcislove:
Ill give the edl tool a shot.

I think updates worked after edl flash, i wont push a readback.

I remember on the np1 you could simply flash older firmwares via fastboot flash boot boot.img etc to rollback you only needed the right super.img to flash. Idk why its so complex on the phone 2 but not many people look into this problem im feeling.

Im reporting back if updates are back to normal after edl, maybe today.

Report: @dladz used the edl tool and updates work again. Im on 2.5.2 now.
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Oh wow, nice one.

So I've only used EDL to recover with Mvikrants help.

My system is working ATM, so what did you do?

Just download it, jump into EDL then update?
[Nothing Phone 2] xtcislove:
Yes Just used the edl Tool, ended with 2.0.

Ota to 2.4, ota to 2.5.2.

And im on slot a atm so both Slots are working i guess.
[Red Magic 8 pro] batuken:
Turning on USB Debugging will lose your device's Widevine L1 certification and will change it to L3. I've confirmed this before on my 8 Pro and now on my friend's 8S Pro, both Global variants. I'm now on 8 Pro as well but I'm not risking to confirm it on my device.

The worse thing is even doing a factory reset won't return it back to L1. Does anyone here have encountered the same issue?
[Red Magic 8 pro] borygo77:
Not on my one 😉

[Red Magic 8 pro] batuken:
Good to know it did not happen to your device. Have you tried running ADB commands on PC?
[Red Magic 8 pro] borygo77:
I did disable many apps which I could not disable on the phone itself using adb. It works just grand. Is my widevine real L1? I got no idea as I don't pay for Netflix to check.
[Red Magic 8 pro] batuken:
Oh shoot. You've lost L1 certification. The DRM Info app based on your screenshot shows an invalid System ID (10 digits). It should just be 5 digits. Anyway, RedMagic has to fix this bug.
[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] bakerjeremy3736:
First of all, I apologize in advance for what will probably seem like rather trivial questions.

1. Does anyone have any advice on how I can achieve a faster charging rate? I'm totally aware of the slower charging speed when I'm not connected to the official warp charge/super vooc charging brick, but it seems like I rarely achieve anywhere near top speeds when I am utilizing the official charging components. Sometimes I think it could be slowing down because of it being summertime and the battery doing it's best to not nuke itself. But I've tested out keeping my phone directly in front of an air conditioner and even though the phone is maintaining what I consider a safe temperature of roughly 94°F (≈34°C). And most of the time, I might get close to 20ish watts of power, but quickly levels out between 15-20 watts until it is charged to 80%.

2. What are your opinions on using OnePlus' game mode while gaming. I'm not a real heavy gamer by any means, with Diablo immortal probably being the most demanding game I play, among spending some time playing the random game of chess, spades, etc. How about enabling the "high performance mode" within battery settings? Is it actually beneficial to use either one over the other? Maybe use both, or none at all?

Hello people,

I am using OOS12 on OnePlus 7T and I've been having some issue with root and payment apps so I decided to build a kernel with KernelSU integrated but I can't seem to find OOS12's default kernel source, I did find OnePlus 7 Pro's latest kernel source but I'm not sure if it's unified for all 7 series devices, since I haven't dug deeper and have very little knowledge about this device.

Create a new xiaomi account amd set the region to united states.

Some say a factory reset is also needed.

I didn't factory reset and it worked.

Then retry.

It happened with me also.

It happens for newer devices.
[Xiaomi Poco X5 Pro] Fezzy976:
Thanks I will try that, so you mean the region on the actual xiaomi account? I've seen some on youtube use a VPN to set location to the USA that way when linking the account.

I thought you had to wait a certain number of days/weeks before you could unlock phones so at first I thought it was that.

thanks for the tip though I will try that.

EDIT:

Thank you. This trick seemed to have worked, I know get this which I thought I would as I remember this from when I unlocked my Poco x3 nfc

View attachment 6001567
[Xiaomi Poco X5 Pro] ippo kratis:
168 hours wait time still apply yeah but in order for the unlocker to identify the account looks like the account on device must be set up as usa region.no vpn or anything , just select United States from the drop down menu when creating the account on the miui site.

Glad you made it work.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pinwhell:
the question is very simple, i wanted to know some aspect involving Magisk Modules, mainly the aspect of how visible they like, by visibility i mean, for example can they be found like a library .so in maps file? or are they mapped in anonimous memory?, non-named memory?, are they even mapped in User-mode memory? or kernel-mode memory?, Thanks in advice
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
all modules that u installed+magisk files are in /data/adb
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pinwhell:
my question was, once it is loaded, what type of memory it is, for example, once you dlopen a shared object, it will mostlikely appear as is in proc/self/maps, but if you mmap private memory then copy the lib bytes there, it wont, it will simply appear as a private memory segments, no lib names etc, this is what i was asking for Modules, or maybe i got the concept wrong, by modules i was trying to refer this kind of things that magisk load in other processes/system.
