Almost Brick my phone when updating firmware. Close call !!!

Just got the M9 today.
Unlocked, rooted, Installed TWRP, S-Off.
Then I was trying to update to the latest 1.32.40.17 firmware, but I forgot to superCID (11111111).
My cid was HTC__059.
So, the phone stalled forever...had no choice but Vol Up + Power button. Then the phone was tuck at a weird screen with few options of reboot the phone, reboot to bootloader... But no matter what option to choose, the phone just did not reboot to that.
Vol up + Power...Vol down + Power....I dont remember what I pressed cuz I had to press those combo many times, but luckily got back to the download mode. & things went well.
So......SuperCID right after S-Off people.
What a close call :laugh:

This happened to me, but it happened for no reason. Screen said press this for reboot then just went back to the same screen. Had to hard reboot to fix

PEBKAC.

Good advice. Wish there were more threads like this, cos I am not new to flashing but new to htc..
i am unlocked and rooted, but still S-On. Contemplating to go S-off.
So, after S-off then SuperCid, does that mean we can flash "any" rom from any custom rom/any region? but if we are 1.32 we cannot flash 1.40 roms right? we must go back to stock to take the update? i think that is where a few (who are new to htc like me) are confused.

I believe that with S-on, u can flash custom rom that has matching base/firmware.
Put your phone in download mode, the OS tells you your firmware.
Look for roms that has matching base/ firmware.
You dont have to go back to stock. You can flash the latest OTA, it will update your phone to the latest firmware, then flash latest rom.
S-off & superCID let you flash any firmware, any radio, any rom from any region.
I do think $25 is worth the S-off for my case.
I flashed the latest firware, but didnt like it much because of some kernel bugs. So i went back to 1.32 for more stability.

Not sure mate, I take it u are on maximus?
Basics are u need to install sunshine app and run it. It will tell u whether it will work before asking for payment. It won't work on ahrd for whatever reason, if u are on maximus rooted and the sunshine app asks for payment then u are good to go

As long as you're only flashing signed firmware for your model and carrier. Anything else will give an error with S-on.

I'd love to try this, but don't want to risk bricking my M8. Anyone feel like being a guinea pig?

I can assure you its almost impossiable to brick it with this method. the boot.img works this way.
You flash the boot.img and reboot into android and under the boot up the boot.img checks hmm is this device able to be s-offed?? and the boot.img checks and if no it will just commit suicide and remove it self and if it works it will s-off. and the boot.img removes it self after first boot so no worries there and its s-off until you choose to unroot it and uns-off it. it works on all the hboots.

flashing kernel is supposed to get your device soffed? Very interesting. BTW aren't you the one that got banned recently?

Have you tried it on any device?

Not again !!!
STOP THIS FAKE STUFF ! DO NOT FLASH THIS ! IT WILL NOT GIVE YOU S-OFF !

So, the thread has been reopened, has anyone used it "successfully" ?
You say it can uns-off, does that work on a device that was previously s-off ed with sunshine ?
Just curious.
Cheers

Thank you bro! Who tried it?

So here is the MD5Sum of the boot.img
c12fae55b5ce4a3e9fbbea5b408cf2bb
So let me compare this MD5 sum with the Mako Twrp 2.8.0.1 img, AKA NEXUS 4 recovery image!!
c12fae55b5ce4a3e9fbbea5b408cf2bb
would you look at that!
It is the exact same image!!!!!! I have also split the image to check this.
DO NOT FLASH! It is a NEXUS 4 RECOVERY IMAGE
N.B: HTC bootloader will probably not allow it to flash, due to dt.img issues.

Are you guys really that naive to believe this is for real !
ITS FAKE !
JUST DONT FLASH THE FILE !

It's really weird that the main A7 model gets 0 to none attention . I hope someone will notice . Thanks for the post though

Bump for this!
We really need a recovery for A700F, we already have root thanks to ShinySide, but without Recovery there's no chance for custom ROMS.
I would have developed/ported it by myself but I haven't found any guide how to do it and I don't have the sufficient knowledge.

Well i could have done it too( I have a bit of knowledge ) but I'm in the last year of senior high-school and in struggling with time :/ If I want to go to the University I should stay focused, else I'd do it for sure. I just hope that someone will notice us and give us some attention

You're wrong, as long as you have root you can install custom roms with Flashfire, in fact it does most things a custom recovery can including backups.
If I get time I'll knock up a build of twrp.
What build is this device running at the moment, is it bootloader unlocked and is it Exynos or qualcomm?
I require someone to upload their recovery.img from the stock firmware.
Note: I don't have this device so a decent tester is required who doesn't mess about.

Thats not a problem I just need to adjust the resolution.
It works OK apart from that, backups etc?
Can you check adb works. Load ADB, Connect your device and type ADB DEVICES. See if your device is detected.
What's your time zone? I'm UK so it's around 1.00pm now, won't be home until 7pm ish.
Will you be available for more testing?

So i am sitting at around 3:22 pm on Athens time-zone and the unfortunate thing is that i will be leaving home by 7pm and be returning by 10:30pm (School stuff :/ ) so we can work after i am home ,that'd be around 8:30 for your time-zone. Everything seems usable , I am installing as i am typing, the adb services along with SDK. Will update when i get it up and running. Cheers

Nobody has to get that done. It's already done. Fastboot OEM unlock unlocks the bootloader. And root with SuperSu or phh superuser. All we really need is TWRP.

lol u r correct, i forgot about that, i guess just have to wait on a TWRP then.

TWRP is actually waiting on you.
Join #twrp and you'll have it. (see signature for link, or click here)
Basically, we don't have the crypto libraries needed for decrypt because OnePlus hasn't made 3T firmware available yet.
I want you to install a half-working build of TWRP and guide you through making a full firmware flashing backup so I can use that to complete support.
Hop, skip, get to it!
(and no, you will get nothing good out of waiting for someone else to step up)
PS. if you post here saying you will come if no one else does, all you're doing is stopping other people from assisting
Update 1:42 AM EST: no one's showed up yet so I can only assume not many people have received their device yet. i'm gonna take a nap now and i'll be back on in ~10 hours... so about 12 PM EST maybe later. you won't find me online before then. (that's 5 PM UTC+0)

I was thinking, is it possible to do 'fastboot update supersu.zip' first, then backup all the partition first before doing anything. At a minimum you should be able to backup the recovery and rom partition so you can't screw up too bad, since there is no ROM image and official TWRP at the moment.

thanks to @dustin_b twrp is almost complete, I have backup images stored at https://build.nethunter.com/misc/oneplus3T/partitions/ for now which should work through fastboot flash (100% stock, untouched, all dd copies)
should have a public TWRP image up in an hour or 2

I hope that we will see CM14.1 in a week or two. Oxygen OS is a mess full of security bugs.

Flash GSI Roms on Razer Phone 2!

While looking around and trying to compile TWRP and getting errors doing so, I have finall come accross a solution as to how to get GSI roms to boot, it seems we needed special flash instructions and im eve gonna test some other things later. But without further do, here are the instructions!
Step 1: Go here and read instructions CAREFULLY! "https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/"
Step 2: We need special flash instructions so flash this command. "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" (Special flashing instructions here https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...18&postcount=2)
Step 3: if it doesnt work, try again. I am currently booting into Phh-Treble.
Step 4: Rejoice as we can now get away from stock!
Credits where credit is due !
UPDATE: Okay so, pretty sure dm-verify is making it so it doesnt fully boot :/ still working on it.

what you want to do is downlaod the stock rom, unzup it to desktop. copy your boot.img to your phone. download magisk manager from the xda thread. install the manager and then patch the boot.img. reboot the phone and you'll see it in your downlads. copy that to your stock rom folder (you'll need adb and fastboot files). run the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and youre rooted. but at this current time root is kinda pointless.
also... be sure to check out the root guide first. forgot you need to unlock bootloader and critical.

I'm kind of a noob in this regard. Can I PM you to get further Details on the rooting?
"but at this current time root is kinda pointless."
Also your right about this. There's currently no effective use for it right now. But there will soon be more in the future for the phone i believe. I think more people are starting to communicate and experiment with the RP2

Yea I can't find any reason so far to root or custom ROM.

Hmm, I thought I had tried that. Guess I'll go anywhere try again ?

i read more on the razer forum that it was the same with them as well, except they can flash pie roms too using a baked boot image with magisk in it.

Does everything work? Are you able to change the displays refresh rate and resolution or the logo backlight? Do you have WiFi and speaker issues? I'm really just after better stability
