[OnePlus 12] giovann.fontana:
Hi guys, I was trying to root my new OP12 and it bricked. Fortunately I was able to unbrick it, a user on another thread helped me.

So I still would like to root my phone (bootloader successfully unlocked). What I did was

1) download the software update with the app oxygen updater (I didn't know wher to get the offical files).

2) i successfully extracted init_boot.img using payload dumper go

[first question: has the version of the payload.bin match the version of the firmware I have installed on my phone or it doesn't make a difference?]

3)I moved the init_boot.img on my phone, downloaded magisk app, patched with magisk

4) moved the patched file magisk created into my platform-tools folder,renamed it as "magisk_patch.img" for an easier prompt command entry

[second question, is it ok to rename it?]

5) SEE SCREENSHOT ATTACHED

I runned command prompt in the folder, rebooted the phone in bootloader, checked the current slot, flashed the file using "fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patch.img"

6) the phone bricked

third question: my error was that I wrote the command "fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patch.img"

instead of "fastboot flash init_boot magisk_patch.img" and that caused the brick?

thanks in advance to who will have the patience to read and to help
[OnePlus 12] justics:
You are correct the command is bad. I just rooted my op12 using 'fastboot flash init_boot magisk_patched_boot.img'.

Just go back to stock and try again.

-

Edit. I'm not an expert and don't know if it will work, you can try to flash the stock boot.img file (extract it from playload) to boot_a. If this works and the os boots go ahead and root, this will save time.

Use this

GitHub - libxzr/FastbootEnhance: A user-friendly Fastboot ToolBox & Payload Dumper for Windows

A user-friendly Fastboot ToolBox & Payload Dumper for Windows - libxzr/FastbootEnhance

github.com

It makes flashing super easy for novice users
[OnePlus 12] giovann.fontana:
thanks a lot, I will try with the init command. where did you get the file from which you extracted the init_boot.img? an official source? it matches the current firmware you have installed?
[OnePlus 12] giovann.fontana:
thank you, but do I still have to flash only the init_boot.img that I previously extracted and then patched with magisk right?
[OnePlus 12] Radulfr:
Yes. And the init_boot.img you extract and patch have to be from the same firmware that is currently on the phone. If it's different it won't work
[OnePlus 12] justics:
Correct
[OnePlus 12] giovann.fontana:
ok great, thank you very much, I was able to complete the root!

thanks, I did it with command prompt and it worked, it's a paradox but it was more intuitive for me. Thanks a lot!
[OnePlus 12] mikelikesbikes:
Using this same fastboot command but the stock, pre patched will completely unroot so I can relock the bootloader?
[OnePlus 12] justics:
yes. please make a backup

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] droidzer1:
I just scored a deal on a brand new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 AT&T SM-N910A in a sealed box. It has KitKat 4.4.4 on it. I am very aware there has not been a permanent root for even KitKat however in searching for root solutions I came across a ROM on azrom.net where I was looking to get a stock ROM matching the version I have (N910AUCU1BNK3) so if I mess something up I could reflash to the stock version I have. I then noticed a ROM there that said it was 5.0.1 ROOTED! So I grabbed that and am offering it here for anyone who may want to try it.

At this time I'm going to try the temp root on 4.4.4 to see if I can get rid of the bloatware first. If that works I might stay with that for awhile. The ROM stating it is 5.0.1 Rooted appears to be only the system image TAR. IF you have 5.0.1 I assume you could flash just that with Odin but I would suggest getting the full stock ROM first in case it goes South. The usual warning that I'm not responsible for anything you do with your phone. I'm sure I'll be trying this at some point and will update here on the results if no one else has tried it by then.

Look for this file: SM-N910AUCU1COC4-ROOTED-5.0.1.rar on this page: https://azrom.net/stock-rom-sm-n910a-full-firmware-all-other-file-samsung-note4/

You'll also see these files on that page which I'll be playing with too:

SM-N910A-ENG-RECOVERY-ROOT.rar (12MB)

SM-N910A-OI2-ENG-BOOT-ROOT.rar (10MB)

SM-N910A-UCT2EPK5-ENG-ROOT.rar (11MB)

I'm aware this is an old phone but it is one of the sweetest for some purposes - like easy battery swap and my favorite is the powerful IR it has that when used with Galaxy Universal Remote app beats any store bought universal remotes for both ease of use and distance it can reach. I regularly have switched channels in restaurant TV's from a good 50 feet away to the bewilderment of others watching the TV ;)

Note you'll need to turn off any ad blockers for the site above and after clicking a file you'll see a lot of ad junk for PDF stuff. Just scroll to the bottom of the page and wait a few seconds for the "Get Link" button which takes you to a Google download server. Most of these files appear to be from "Trang Tải" or :Trang Tải File Miễn Phí". I think the last two words are likely file menu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] droidzer1:
So far after trying a number of Kingroot versions I found 4.9.6 is working quite well along with ROM Toolbox I've been clearing data and removing all sorts of Bloatware easily with no lockups or slowness. Since this is not likely going to be a primary phone and won't likely have any personal data on it I may just stick with Kitkat. At least until I get curious enough to try the 5.0.1 root mentioned above... ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] droidzer1:
It seems the general consensus on around here on the AT&T version of the Note 4 is incorrect. At least in regards to losing root after a reboot. After disabling Knox and a whole lot of other things with ROM Toolbox and Kingroot I rebooted and I still have ROOT! I could see something upon reboot that leads me to believe that Kingroot (at least this 4.9.6 version) reinstalls itself upon reboot. I have not run SuperSUme at all as the Kingroot seems stable and I haven't noticed any slowness or glitches. I uninstalled many apps and froze (disabled with ROM Toolbox) 14 apps including KLMS Agent, Lookout, DSMLawmo, ELM Agent, and uninstalled Knox and any app that had the word 'knox' in it. So if anyone still has 4.4.4 (yea I know that's doubtful unless you find one new in the box) or unused I will say you can have PERMANENT Root - YEA!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] droidzer1:
OK - One caveat I just noticed. I tried 'Power off' from the Samsung power button and instead of powering down it rebooted. Still got Root though. So then I did a Power down completely so I'm just seeing the battery charging while attached to the charger. Then powered back on and I seem to still have ROOT. But after the complete power down it seems some things have reinstalled and root only seems to work with ROM Toolbox at the moment. A lot of apps I uninstalled are back but the frozen apps are still frozen so I'll be trying to freeze all the other things that I uninstalled to see how that goes.

After reinstalling Kingroot since it was gone I froze all the apps that reappeared. Then did total power down and now they are still frozen so not showing up in the apps and not sucking memory. Still experimenting with this but it is if nothing else a great way to debloat. I haven't even tried the Engineering boot root or recovery files as shown in the opening post. Looking also at a custom recovery - not sure if the file mentioned above is a custom recovery but eventually will try that.

So with Knox stuff all frozen instead of uninstalling it Kingroot stays there but unrooted after reboot. All the other frozen apps don't show up either but you need to reroot with Kingroot to gain full root access again - really no problem with this version and this version only installs Purify which is easily disabled like the others.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] droidzer1:
One other note in case any one is following this antique thread :rolleyes: ... After installing an XAPK installer on the phone it rebooted when trying to open the app. After reboot the Kingroot app was missing. When I tried reinstalling the 4.9.6 version the phone would not allow it to be installed. It didn't show up in the App manager and I deleted all folders related to it but it still would not install. I uninstalled a few other apps I had put on after Kingroot but no luck installing Kingroot. So I tried Kingroot 5.0.0 and it asked if I wanted to update the app. So then 5.0.0 installed fine and I've got root back. It looks like this version has more self protection also. Everything is running good. I left the phone on overnight and it only went from 100% battery to 98% after around 10 hours. Considering that battery is likely around 10 years old that seems tb be very good.

Just in case someone might thing this is a fake Galaxy Note 4 I assure you it is a real one from AT&T and vndnguyen's Phone Info app confirms that as well as my detailed view of the phone and how fast it runs. I do have 2 fake phones I bought with knowledge they were clones and there is a definite difference in not only physical appearance but in how they run.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] droidzer1:
One other note for anyone who may have found a Note 4 with Kitkat on it. I've ended up using Kingroot version 4.1 stable as it is the easiest to remove with Super-Sume 6.7 which then installs SuperSU and I then update that version of SuperSU to 2.82 SR3 since it works best for some apps. If I have to reboot or turn off the phone it's fairly quick and easy to get back to root which seems very stable with SuperSU.

I've also managed to get Flashfire on it and do a total full All Partition (similar to a TWRP total backup) backup with it. If you do use Flashfire don't forget you need to set your phones date to the year 2013 or before otherwise Flashfire won't run.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] droidzer1:
I finally tried that system image in the OP that is 5.0.1 and claims to be rooted. No matter whether I put it into the stock AP matching that COC4 version or tried odin flashing alone it Fails when trying with odin. No harm to the phone -- it just won't flash. Not too surprised. After trying a lot of things with the stock 5.0.1 to get it rooted with some notion of stability I gave up and went back to 4.4.4 kitkat which is quite stable and easily re-rooted with Kingroot if you reboot or power off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] dave678:
I found a sealed N910P from someone on Reddit on Nov 22. When I opened it up it was brand new and running Kitkat. Then in early 2023 Samsung ruined my Note 4 experience by all of a sudden killing off the Accuweather app/widget. Then I find out Sprint removed the tab view from the Settings menu on their model which made me even more disappointed so now I will buy a international Snapdragon Note 4 as you can yo yo between Kitkat, Lollipop and Marshmallow as the bootloader number is 1 for all of them. The Exynos model Samsung locked the bootloader after either the COJ5 update or Marshmallow so you can no longer downgrade to 5.0.1 or Kitkat.
[Google Pixel 7] eclipsek20:
Hello,

I am considering the purchase of this phone, however since an incident that I accidentally caused I have been paranoid by this question whenever buying a new phone.

In this theoretical scenario:

-Locked Bootloader

-Custom ROM installed

-Corrputed ROM message popping up (or equivalnant)

How hard would it be to flash a stock OS? And what methods are used for such a thing?

Thank you in advance
[Google Pixel 7] Starbomba:
Well, you cannot install a custom ROM without unlocking bootloader, and relocking it wouldn't make much sense if you want the custom ROM to work at all, so yeah, that scenario is a bit too much into impossible land. Now, you CAN relock it with a custom ROM installed, but that'd be a massive error on your part and not a corruption thing.

Now, i have never hard bricked any Nexus or Pixel phone, but the easiest way to return a phone to stock that i've used is the Android Flash Tool. I think also PixelFlasher can get you out of some really big errors, but i've never used it as the only reason i relock one of my Pixels is if i am to sell it rather than keep using it. However, and i may also be wrong about it, but some custom ROMs can change the flash partitions, in that case short of using a hot air gun and an external flasher, i doubt you can recover any phone like that.
[Google Pixel 7] jijus:
And there is this

Google Pixel - Update and Software Repair
[Google Pixel 7] acuicultor:
If you brick a pixel to the point that you can't go to bootloader you will not be able to recover it, there's no tools available like in some snapdragon boards also to recover it having fastboot access the bootloader must be unlocked before the problem otherwise you'll be on the same trouble.
[Google Pixel 7] F8L3RR0R:
NGL Flash tool saved me a few times :) Was going to recommend it as well. As far as bricking a phone goes, from my experience, they are very hard to hard brick. I have even flashed wrong kernels and still recovered lol. <im old and blind>. But ya, I think all I'll ever own again is a Pixel from this point on. Love OnePlus's as well but i hear things about hardware baked-in spyware etc. Atleas with the Googles, Ya know whos doin the spying :) GL.
[Google Pixel 7] simplepinoi177:
I'm very curious...I'm unfamiliar with this NGL Flash tool -- especially its use for Pixels (I've been Pixels owner since Pixel 2 XL). I tried Google searching it, but couldn't find anything on it...

"Hard brick" usually means that there's nothing that can be done unless you can recover it in EDL mode (dependent on the device and manufacturer; not available for Google devices) or replacing the system board.
[Google Pixel 7] bdr127:
I think they used "NGL" as a shortened form of "Not Gonna Lie"..... as in, "Not gonna lie, Flash tool saved me a few times."
[Google Pixel 7] F8L3RR0R:
Sorry, I dont know how NGL got in there. I meant "Flash.Android.com" and "PixelFlasher" are what i use. But, TBH, I prefer good old ADB/Fastboot.

I was wondering if anyone has EU or Global Ace 3 Genshin Impact Edition ?

I need someone who has EU or Global Ace 3 Genshin Impact Edition to back up all img files so I can make a convert file . Any help would be great

As of now, global 12R Genshin unit hasn't even shipped yet

US version got sold out on wave 1, wave 2 starts 3 days from now

India version is on sale March 19th

All the Genshin version currently are Ace 3 from China. So it will take quite a while for a global EDL package of the Genshin version to go online

[OnePlus 12R / OnePlus Ace 3] ceryskies:
Hey, sorry for the post but I just got a couple questions for you.

- I want this phone for the whole aesthetic it has going on, I know it comes installed with ColourOS, but oneplus offers their own international OS Oxygen. When you flashed it into the international version, did it retain the phone's unique animations? If not, is there a way to do so?

- Have you had any issues with the GPS signal on the phone? My old chinese phone was so inaccurate with the GPS that it's to the point where it would be 2-3 KM off from my actual location.

- Did google services/google play install well on the phone?

- Was there any other issues with the phone that I probably haven't thought about yet?

Thank you very much in advance!
[OnePlus 12R / OnePlus Ace 3] Canuck Knarf:
Not sure about GPS...Google pay etc.. Works so far...I just got the phone..just testing convert files first

[OnePlus 12R / OnePlus Ace 3] ceryskies:
aite, is it alright if you keep me updated?

I was reading on another thread that OnePlus has been region locking phones? Are you in a MCC that's locked out? If you are, how did you resolve the region lock issue?
[OnePlus 12R / OnePlus Ace 3] thang97:
1. Buy from sellers in China and ask them to present vat invoice, then go to Oppo Customer Service and request unlock

2. Pay $35 for an unlocking service
[OnePlus 12R / OnePlus Ace 3] ceryskies:
lol i'll keep the vat thing in mind and have my mum ask one from the seller;

i'm just also wary about all the other things i mentioned above

I have read though all the comments and I would like to thank you to take this much effort to make this happend.

I am a iPhone user and just got my ACE3 keqing yesterday, the hardware seems pretty spot on, but CN Color OS is kind messed up with that lockscreen app. I would like to convert my ACE3 keqing to Oxygen in the near future when eveything works out. I have seen the 12R keqing Canadian version, the system seems pretty clean, no crap at all.
