Hey all - I downloaded the factory image for the release version of Nougat from here. I went to try flashing it using flashfire as usual, but the partition listing is a bit different than before. Instead of /system /boot /user etc. I see this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So has anyone else been able to do flash this update through flashfire? How did you do it exactly?
Thanks.
anyone else? i would also like to know

It was posted on Android Police.
This is not a factory image but an OTA package.
And an OTA from DP5 not from MM stock
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any lost data or damage to your device should you choose to follow my advice. Just because it worked for me, is no guarantee that it will work perfectly for you too. Proceed at your own risk.
Sign up for the Beta program at http://g.co/androidbeta and within a few minutes you should get a notification on your phone to download the ota to Official 7.0. Download this, but do not install it. After download, open Flashfire back up and it should automatically see the system OTA and prompt you to flash it. Doesn't matter whether or not you tell it to inject root, as this will not work. After the whole process completes and you are on the official Android 7 build, you can boot CF-Auto-Root using fastboot from your computer to get systemless root. Also, I expect within a few days someone will have full system root and various custom ROMs will be updated to Android 7.

With Lollipop just around the corner, I'm guessing some will be reverting back to stock to get the OTA update. This is for those guys that still want root and be able to get the OTA and have it actually work. Installing SuperSU from the Play Store doesn't work if you haven't rooted your device already.
I'm not going to get into specifics about unlocking your bootloader, going back to stock, adb and drivers. All of these should be done if you reverted back to stock.
Go ahead and download the latest SuperSU here from your tablet.
Download a custom recovery on your computer. I used TWRP 2.7.1.1. Place the .img you downloaded in your adb folder (\android-sdk). You can rename if you want. For sake of this guide, let's say I renamed it twrp.
Reboot into bootloader. To make sure everything is connected, why not run:
fastboot devices
Then run (if everything is connected of course):
fastboot boot twrp.img
Let it do its thing. Sooner or later you'll have TWRP pop-up on your tablet.
*Note: You're simply downloading and booting from the image on your computer. This isn't flashing the recovery on your tablet.
Make sure it mounted (I had no problems) and flash SuperSU like you would anything else in recovery.
This worked for me. Right before this, I reverted back to stock using comminus' guide, left my tablet unlocked, booted, checked USB Debugging and Unknown Sources (not sure if this matters) and did this method and I have root.
Hope this helps. :good:
And just because it's cute and funny...:victory:

You have the OTA 5.1.1 update?!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Did anything get figured out with this? I'm bricked too and can't do anything about it because the 5.1.1 firmware isn't out and I can't figure anything else out to fix it.
I was able to acquire the following files...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Flashing these finally brought this hopeless nightmare to an end.
I had the Kingsroot + SuperSUME = FAIL brick condition and this saved the device (it wasn't even my device, I was fixing it for a friend). Let me know if anyone is interested.
Just got a notice that .352 is out, 33MB upgrade, I will need to reflash stock recovery to install it.
This is about "better wifi connection"
unroot, flash stock boot/recovery, download OTA, install OTA, flash TWRP ---> ok
flash Magisk 13.1 ---> failed, bootloop, I had to install 327 boot.
So if you install the update, please backup boot for me
So before update to 352 is better to wait for an updated toolkit?
Do you have the OTA file?

Like always I forgot to flash stock boot image beforehand, so I encountered error 7. Can anyone upload just the incremental update?
You can download the OTA here:

I'm trying to Flash Nougat 7.0 but i'm getting this error:
I have read tons of threads, none seems o solve the issue, one mentioned keeping new modem.bin from CP tar in the Nougat CP to avoid bootloader downgrade (which is not doable apparently) but I didnt manage to do it.
My Question is: is there any way to go to Nougat? I'm open for all options including custom ROM.

1. Do not send info about your IMEI number.
2. You can not down grade to nougat even with custom rom ( not I know of ) unfortunately
I just got this phone, and am enjoying it.
I installed the unofficial TWRP from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...overy-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3921637 . I just got a new "OTG" update for this phone that I want to install.
However, I just learned that you can't install OTG updates normally with TWRP installed as a custom recovery. I also have Magisk (systemless root) installed.
I still want TWRP installed for the benefits, but I also want the improvements from the official OFG updates. I am also aware that OTG erases root with each update.
Does anyone know how to install this latest update (without losing all my data)? Is there a custom file/build I can flash that will update my system but not wipe everything?
It shouldn't be any rush but I don't want to be running behind on all the important updates coming to this phone either.
Thanks.
(UPDATE; Deleting the compatibility.zip file inside the latest OTG update rom .zip file from here: https://www.fonearena.com/blog/279737/xiaomi-redmi-note-7-software-update-tracker.html , made the installation suddenly work! Yay! I also installed Magisk.zip again, because I probably would need to anyways. Should be easy from now on!)
Hopefully this will help someone else!
(Looks like my issue is similar to this recent post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...overy-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3921637 . Not quite sure if I understand the directions completely however... hmmm...)
If there is a ota just download the full Rom. Works with twrp..
After Update install magisk again.. And voila. [emoji6]

Better you use orangeFox recovery, theres no Chance to overwrite with original recovery on Update.
