How are you doing the update?

Use oxygen updater for the full download then use the 1+ local updater app to do the install.

The app stops after installation and before the reboot
[OnePlus 11] lloydsw:
This is a great guide, I've used it successfully several times on both the 11 & 12. Today i added another line after searching for the important blocks, keep them staring me right in the face while I write to the device.

DO I HAVE TO BE IN ANDROID 13 TO ROOT MY OP11 CPH2451, I HAVE ANDROID 14 AND I WANT TO ROOT MY PHONE
[OnePlus 11] MrSteelX:
that depends on can you get to bootloader?
[OnePlus 11] seen_bawl:
yes I unlock my bootloader and I can get into Fastboot

I cant find boot.img or init-boot.img I got android 14.0.0.501 (EX01)

I see the new update for Apatch but it required boot.img don't know how to get it

and I cant get it from the installed software in my phone I try some ways I've seen on YouTube didn't work
[OnePlus 11] MrSteelX:
Here is a apatch boot.img of 601 or 501 forget which it is but you could temp boot and find out.

With root

dd if=/dev/block/sde13 of=/sdcard/boot_a.img

dd if=/dev/block/sde45 of=/sdcard/boot_b.img

do i have to install the software first then go to magisk app and click restore image can someone explain it to me
[OnePlus 11] seen_bawl:
I've done it in different way i install the update i lose the root then i went back to fastboot and flash the patched init_boot.img then reboot root is back
[OnePlus 11] shootind5nukes:
You need to put the stock init boot on your phone. The "root" of your usable space on your phone is /sdcard/. I'm aware you don't have an sdcard, but that's how your phones storage structure is set up

The instructions from my inital post are crystal clear.

\Internal shared storage\Download

Is the same as

/sdcard/Download
[OnePlus 11] JustinChase:
thanks for this. I have 2 questions.

1. how can I confirm that the init_boot.img I have on my phone is the correct/matching .img for the software that is actually installed. It's from March, and I believe it is the stock .img that matches what I have installed, but if not, I'm afraid that will brick the phone, so i just want to be extra sure before following this guide

2. do I need to do this every time before trying to do an update, or can/will this guild 'fix' magisk for good, and i don't have to save this thread and find/keep the stock init_boot.img each time I want to update my phone?

thanks again

PS my current version is CPH2583_14.0.0.502(EX01)
[OnePlus 11] mkwapis110:
1. Flash the file to test. If you lose root, but the phone still boots OK, then you have the correct file. If it does not boot, it should boot into the bootloader, so you can use fastboot to reflash your phone. NOTE: I would make a backup of my phone and all important files first!

2. Nope, in theory, this should fix Magisk for good. I just tried this on my OnePlus 12 NA CPH2583 on version 810, so I can confirm this when the next OTA update comes.
[OnePlus 11] p3ric0:
Should the Magisk build matter? I'm on the Canary build and this wont work. Followed the instructions and retained root, but Magisk still shows the "Stock backup does not exist" error when I tap on Restore Images. What's weird is that I can see the magisk_backup folder in \data and the boot.img inside it matches the SHA1 checksum that Magisk is expecting.. it just doesn't detect it for some reason?

I have a CPH2451 and was on 14.0.0.601(EX01).. had to use the fastboot flash init_boot method via PC to flash a patched init_boot after installing the 14.0.0.810(EX01) OTA and then performed a Direct Install via Magisk after the reboot. Worked fine.

Now there's a new 14.0.0.830(EX01) OTA update 😑 but not sure how to get the stock init_boot for that version to patch via fastboot after installing the OTA.
[OnePlus 11] mkwapis110:
You need the stock init_boot for version 810, not 830. You can extract the stock 830 from your phone after updating. I just got the notice for the new 830 update a few days ago, and am going to test my update procedure today, since I have the day off of work.

I had a hell of a time updating from 801 to 810, as the CRC of my phone's partitions did not match what was expected. I eventually had to flash the OTA via a 3rd party app. I have the .apk file if you need it. After updating to 810, I flashed the patched 810 init_boot.img, then rebooted. Once I confirmed that I had root again, I flashed the stock init_boot, took a backup of it via Magisk Canary, and then let Magisk take a backup. I then used Magisk to direct install root, and rebooted to confirm that I did not lose root.

Now, hopefully I will be able to update to 830 via the OTA I have downloaded, and use Magisk to retain the backup of a stock 830 and retain root. I will let you know how it goes.
[OnePlus 11] p3ric0:
Thanks for that! You helped it click in my head that the instructions @shootind5nukes provided is basically the manual way to perform the "Restore Images" function in Magisk.

Here's what I did to update:

- I used the two adb commands in the first post to flash the stock 810 init_boot

- Installed the 830 OTA update via system settings

- Backed up the new stock init_boot using the commands in the first post in this thread https://xdaforums.com/t/proper-cph2451-root-and-update-instructions.4556839/ (just in case)

- Install to Inactive Slot via Magisk and rebooted

Worked great. I'm now on CPH2451_14.0.0.830(EX01) 😁
[OnePlus 11] mkwapis110:
Did you update Magisk first? I went to update my phone and noticed a Magisk update. I am unsure if updating Magisk on the init_boot partition will override my stock backup of 810.
[OnePlus 11] p3ric0:
Yes, I noticed the Magisk update too and updated Magisk first; first the App then the framework. I'm on the latest Canary build, my current version shows "0495468d (27006)" for both.

Not sure if that overrides any backups. I keep copies on my PC. I have stock init_boot's for 810 and what I think should be 830 now but I haven't compared the checksums to confirm.
[OnePlus 11] mkwapis110:
Ok, thanks! I am thinking I will update to 830 without updating the Magisk framework on my init_boot partition. That way I am sure my backups are of a stock 810 init_boot.img. I am also running 27006 for the app, but 27004 for the framework. I do have a backup of a stock 810 init_boot on my NAS as well, just in case.
[Sony Xperia M] EGY falcon:
Hello Guys 🌹

Is there any possible way to install any recent supported version of Android or custom ROM on this phone?? so I can install Android apps normally..

if so, please provide me the links because I searched so much and found nothing.

Thanks in advance ❤️
[OnePlus 11] iamromulan:
Hello

So I was dumb and relocked the bootloader after rooting via the KernelSU method. (Fastboot booting to the patched img then installing Magisk)

I remember doing that just fine on another phone and every thing worked. Unfortunately on the OP11 I'm stuck in a boot loop and I can only get into recovery. I've seen the posts for EDL restoring but it looks like a pain. I figured I'd ask if anyone knows if it's possible to get into fastboot to unlock the bootloader again.

Or....am I just going to have to go the EDL route?

Thanks!
[OnePlus 11] don quixada:
I ran into this. I ended up changing the active partition in fastboot:

"fastboot --set-active=a" or "fastboot --set-active=b"

This was per the instructions in https://xdaforums.com/t/closed-guide-magisk-unlock-root-keep-root-oos-13-a-10.4571171/

If you can get into fastboot, I don't think you will need to do the EDL method. That way is a pain but only if you don't follow the instructions exactly (watch the YT video for a single windows machine).
[OnePlus 11] iamromulan:
Fastboot/Bootloader is what I was after. I can get into the stock recovery fine but there doesn't seem to be a button combo for the bootloader on this device?
[OnePlus 11] iamromulan:
I just went ahead and EDL flashed it. Fixed it no problem. The video is very helpful, for anyone else just use the downland links in the youtube description and it'll go smoothly.
[OnePlus 11] don quixada:
Yeah, I did that too. Mine was totally bricked before I did this.
[General Questions and Answers] threeder:
Hello WM community !

To cut long story short, I got very interested in WM and now I am considering to buy Xperia, but after reading a lot in this forum I got my doubts about it.

A lot people says that WM is way ahead comparing to symbian and yeah, for example Xperia's cpu and ram size is almost twice (or even more) as big as any other symbian device. But what are they good for if Xperia can hardly play good quality clips smoothly and run game emulators at decent speed ( I mean snes ,gba emulator with sound or even FPSCE) ? The old, practically unchanged S60 platform can run those things ( and even .avi files) without problems (well except FPSCE of course :) ). As you probably all know, few symbian phones even are able to run Q3 at a very very decent speed. So my question is, why Xperia is worth paying around 800 $ ? Just for super comfy office tools? Sexy design? Nice touch screen? Why ?

I don't want to judge anything, I just want to find arguments why I should buy the Xperia ? And I need your help guys :)

Thanks in advance ;)

P.S. As you noticed, I want to use phone as a multimedia entertainment device, especially for movies.
[General Questions and Answers] leobox1:
hi,

i understand your concerns.. i am sorry i do not watch shows on it..

but my own experiences,

PRO:the screen is sharp. 3 inch is good.. touch pro is only 2.8 and its heavier.

the CPU to me seems ok. In fact youtube has a vs touch pro video out there.. x1 is faster when switching landscape.

the touch screen is good in response for me. most task can be used one hand finger.

Keyboard is good.. you can type pretty fast on it.

as of all WM devices, you need to customize it before it becomes better.. i am speed dialers .. launchers... cool.

battery life for above average usage is 24hours. (am told other devices is shorter )

CON:

the camera button is difficult to press

you may get the rattle "add on" (ie a rattle sound when shaked )

price is a little on the upside.. well this is suppose to be their flagship premium phone.
[General Questions and Answers] _fm:
for my subjective opinion, WM, especially touch HD is the best for me, that will be my future device,. hehe,. :)

easy software upgrade, ROM cooking, etc,. :D
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
i agree with -G-, my next device will be the touch HD, the wait to march will be ohhh soooo long:)
[General Questions and Answers] leobox1:
touch HD is good.. however if poster needs a h/w keyboard.. then touch HD is out..
[General Questions and Answers] _fm:
lol, yeah,. :D
[General Questions and Answers] l3v5y:
The Touch HD is a media orientated device (what with it having things like the 3.5mm headphone jack) and in CorePlayer (or even TCPMP) the HD can play full size AVI movies pretty much perfectly!

The X1 has very similar hardware, except for the keyboard, but that may be used in game emulators. Also, I'm sure that emulators would run okay (they can run on my Prophet, with a 200MHz processor, and 64MB of RAM!)
[General Questions and Answers] derekwilkinson:
I've seen both (but not used them, only reviews).

The Xperia is much better looking than the Touch Pro IMHO. It is smaller, lighter, and just cooler. They both should perform the same, but I think the Pro has the better UI
[General Questions and Answers] threeder:
thanks for commenting.

I will probably buy it, but still I can find the arguments to justify the price....

anyway, thanks again.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] OutRugOi:
So i've recently purchased this device the Oukitel RT7 Titan It's a rugged tablet which does seem to comply with the GSI standard.

I tried to flash some builds but so far unsuccessful unfortunately.

Here's what i learned how to restore the device to stock firmware and links.

I hope someone else could help me figure out a way to flash GSI or Lineage or Pixel experience.

Stock Firmware can be found on: https://mega.nz/folder/csQyGKAA#zXi_LcuPk5v7DumdDToFLg/folder/IhJmDTIA

Required tools are the checksum verifier, SP flash tools and Mediatek drivers.

So i can get the device in fastboot / bootloader unlocked mode (System settings > Developers options> OEM Unlock)

And already set the device to adb reboot bootloader

Now im looking for the correct instructions to get GSI Firmware as Project Treble on it. Since it comes from the factory default as Android 13 I also tried the project treble build for android 13

I've tried the system.img and vbmeta.img from a gsi arm64 release on this Oukitel device but it doesn't seem to be correctly flashed or incompatible.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] grillgamesh:
I'm very much a newb to rooting, and I also have this same tablet.

Are there other ways to root, asides from twrp? they don't seem to have a root for this device, and I would very much like to get a root for this thing, so I can remove the google ****, and install custom apps that dont have ads on them :U.

What resources should I look for? google doesnt have much on "oukitel rt7 root", nor "how to root oukitel devices"... at a bit of a loss on what I need to look for, or where on this vast cyberspace I need to be in order to get the right files.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] grillgamesh:
Hey, @OuRugOi, did you ever end up having any luck for this?

I've had this thing for about a month, and the stock image is... fine, i guess, but most of the OEM "apps" are pretty much just hotkeys for the basic device functions, like there's a "flashlight app" that literally just turns on the flashlight... which you can do thru the top menu/quick action bar (IDK the proper name for it :P)
[Oukitel (All phone models)] temporarium:
I've got mine rooted and debloated. I don't trust those oem apps phoning home. It's pure Android now.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] grillgamesh:

[Oukitel (All phone models)] Jiiiiimm11:
Edit: I finally got the bootloader unlocked now, my PC just didnt want to recognize the device in fastboot mode ( fastbootd worked and confused me in the beginning wth are 2 needed, whats the difference etc.). I used my phone and bugjaeger.

What driver did you use to get the fastboot to recognize your device ? Tried now quite a few, even reinstalled adb&fastboot. Dunno whats wrong.

Also here are the boot images, Offi and patched ( Build OUKITEL_P07_EEA_V08_20230925 ), though I did not try them out yet bc of the problem that it wont let me boot via "fastboot boot boot.img"; also I noticed it has 2 fastboot modes, one is entered via "adb reboot bootloader" and the other is via "adb reboot recovery" and selecting fastboot mode. The one via cmd is useless cus it doesnt show the devices.

Also a side note, I didnt find any way to remove the annoying gesture pill / navigation bar permanently but if you search "navigation" in settings and select navigation bar, you can change the settings for the 3 virtual keys. So what does it have to do with the bar ? = easy if you select a different desgin there, the annoying junk bar will disappear until the next reboot.

If you have a way to permanently remove it pls share... I already hate all stock like android 13 devices/roms... WHY not just giving the option to customize such ugly junk...?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] temporarium:
I'm on Linux and did not install any drivers. Fastboot worked without issues.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Jiiiiimm11:
Well Im done with that device, I noticed a pixel error ._. Yea it arrived with a broken display... and I returned it now Im gonna get a Blackview Active 8 Pro in a few days... But rooting isnt that straight forward there as well.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] temporarium:
Rooting (through Magisk) was very easy. The bootloader unlocking is as easy as should be. No wait time.

The "problem" is there are no custom ROMs. You end up with a pure Android device. That's not bad, bit also a bit blah and limited as to customization.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] tek3195:
You should be able to get a Lineage GSI to run on it. With it being so close to stock android there shouldn't be much in the way of proprietary crap getting in the way. Haven't bought it yet, they're coming out to fast. I want to see what the RT8 is going to be like as they have progressively gotten better with each new version. Notebook check actually has a pretty good review of the RT7.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] temporarium:
I've never done GSI installs. Don't you need TWRP, or some other way to map the partitions? Can you do it with fastboot alone?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] tek3195:
Here is fastboot flashing instructions
[Oukitel (All phone models)] temporarium:
You know, I would love to try, but I'm a bit hesitant. The "official" system flashing software doesn't see the tablet, so I wouldn't be able to flash stock to start over if something was messed up - I can only run it in a Windows guest VM (Linux host). Windows itself sees the device, but the Chinese-made flashing software doesn't see it (because of unlocked bootloader???)
[Oukitel (All phone models)] tek3195:
Have you tried running Linux from a persistent USB stick ? Windows sucks and some software will not run in a VM. I have a SigmayKey Huawei Edition that can't be run in a VM. I believe all the flashing software and boxes are chinese-made. The unlocked bootloader doesn't change the mode that the device is in. Probably something more akin to fastbootd being in userspace and requiring different drivers than fastboot. I don't really know I use Ubuntu Cinnamon and drivers aren't an issue. Didn't I see SP Flashtool on oukitel site ? Don't do anything you're not comfortable with as far as flashing the device. I would however look into running Linux from a USB drive.

Edit: I don't know that you would want to use official flashing software, whatever it is it probably isn't written to flash a GSI according to instructions on page I linked to. As for recovering if needed fastboot can flash an entire device, you just need to know the commands to do so.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] temporarium:
You misunderstood. I only use Linux. So to use the "official" flasher, I'd have to do so from a vm, but that isn't working.

fastboot and fastbootd work fine for me on Linux connecting to the tablet.

What/how would I flash to recover to stock if it failed?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] tek3195:
I sure did, dang you have it right there plain as day even (linux host). As long as you could get it into fastboot you could flash stock .imgs back to it with fastboot. Same method as the instructions for flashing the GSI. You would just be using stock system.img instaed of gsi.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] temporarium:
I have written some guides based on my experience with this device:

root with Magisk

flash GSI

flash Stock with fastboot
[Oukitel (All phone models)] grillgamesh:
Okey doke, i've rooted, wiped the device, and gotten my apps all installed...

Struggling with two things;

- setting the device name (bluetooth/windows sees it as "RT7-TITAN5G, or RT7TITAN5G<S/N#>", despite me explicitly setting it to something else in the settings menu (and the filesystem is readonly, as far as i know; so i can't go and do a "setprop ro.cus.bt.name" / "setprop ro.fota.device" to the desired name...

- setting the boot splash screen to skip the "unlocked device, holding boot for 5 secs", and then the blindingly bright splash screen of pure frickin white... does anyone know where that .mov or whatnot is located? I **really** wanna purge that thing, and replace it with a png of just like "booting, please wait" with green text on black background"

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheOldAndRusty:
Hi, I was given a phone from a friend (co-worker actually) whose husband passed away so I could try to recover the camera photos from the device because it is stuck at "phone is starting".

I've been able to use ADB to connect to it but I can't access the camera folder.

On another phone I used for some prior testing the cam folder was easily accessible and not protected, but in this one (Galaxy A31) I think the files might be inside "/data" and I cant access that.

I've also been unable to launch any program like a file manager or any app for that matter.., I always get some "Activities" related error.

FWIW I'm using ADB portable at the command prompt and I'd rather not install the whole SDK to avoid innecesary OS pollution...

Anyone here would be willing to bare with me a bit and give me some pointers?

As you can (hopefully) see I've made some progress on my own already....

Thanks in advance.
