There is no multirom for the plus. Only for the g4. On the plus use Dual Boot Patcher. It has a thread on Xda where you can find all info.

well i did try that but my phone wouldn't boot up!! I flashed lineage os as 2nd boot in external sd but it would not work!! that's why asking for a guide if there's something else which needs to be done. I first patched the file and then flashed the patched file but it would not work

The best guide is the original DualBoot Patcher thread on XDA. Google it. Prefer the internal memory (or best, the /data partition) as the external memory is painfully slow.

Encrypted N environment is having issues with TWRP, it either fails to boot into recovery or decryption doesn't work. The best thing you could do here is, decrypt your internal storage entirely.
Once you have decrypted, TWRP will be fully operational, and you can flash the latest SuperSU via recovery itself.
Here is the link: https://download.chainfire.eu/932/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip
And yeah, you can flash back 3.0.2-0, it will work perfectly after decryption. :highfive:

Thanks for your always wick answers, but now i need to go back to 6.0.1, as there are many apps not working on Android N
Now, lets see why beanstalk is not showing sim again, will make an logcat and maybe you can look into it?

You're welcome.Yeah, the apps are currently a concern until the full SDK comes out. Now since Android Studio supports N, we might see app-compatibility issues resolve fast.
Yeah, do give a check. Mind linking me to Beanstalk thread for 6P? I have been out of the development scene since a long time, but yeah, I will surely look at it.

Recovering a Hard Bricked Phone

Alright. This is a harder brick than normal. No OS. TWRP installed. Made the mistake of changing file system to FAT from RAW, and cannot switch again because I get the error "Invalid partition selection"
Any help is appreciated.
Have you tried installing any ROM..?
Which recovery version are you using..?

Recovery - TWRP 3.1.0-0
ROM - Your standard Android 7.0, Cyanogenmod, and Lineage. Cyanogenmod refuses to boot up, but the other two have this problem:
(because I am a new member, I have to do this the long way because I cannot post links.)
Look up on YouTube a channel called FIUSHerson. The video called HELP ME PLZ I MESSED UP should be the video you are looking for.

			
				
@FIUSHerson actually i have never tried anything with encryption, it's zero experience for me.. sorry, i don't know what to do for that.. hope someone will help you soon..

[Solved] Problem writing the Loader.img file

Hello everyone
My XT1572 after a hard-drive time has been hoping for a method to write the Loader.img file to the memory card. However, I can not write the Loader.img file to the memory card successfully. I have tried some software, some memory cards, some computers but all have the same result. The software has successfully written. But the result is many unformatted partitions. I do not understand what the reason is.
A friend of mine advised me to try to write the loader.img file on win8.1 32 bit and my phone woke up.
You won't be able to read the the card with windows since it uses a different file system structure.
Posting in 2 different spots will not get you answers faster. I'd suggest you stick to the main thread about this

I found on the internet that many people are like me and they do not understand the cause. So I decided to create a separate theme for it
Try using a 32GB SD Card. Because the Original Loader.img was created on 32GB SD card.
Loader.img is good - I'm sure. If you want I can make xt1572 RetEu, 6.0.1 and upload here.
I haven't stock rom but It does not matter(i think). @Mun123

If I use this Loader.img, then I could flash (CLARK_RETUS_6.0_MPHS24.49-18-8_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml) for example as I have the XT1575, and wouldn't need to use the (CLARK_RETLA_DS_7.0_NPHS25.200-15-3_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml) file and then flash the XT1575 6.0 modem?
And then also... once I'm on (CLARK_RETUS_6.0_MPHS24.49-18-8_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml), I can just jump str8 to LineageOS 14.1? I don't need to upgrade to the latest stock version right? The modem doesn't change as long as I'm Marshmallow?
All custom roms haven't any Moto Nougat sources.
Users on stock Nougat need to downgrade baseband(modem).
Users on stock MM can simply flash any custom 14.x. @Bwangster12

Okay thanks... so if I flashed the LA 7.0 I'd have to flash the 6.0 modem for my region over it. If I used the 6.0 Loader in this thread, I could use the latest 6.0 firmware for my region... and then jump to 14.1?
If you have working system - You don't need and shouldn't use the loader.img.
Just flash modems for your region
or
Flash stock MM without: bootloader, gpt, oem commands. @Bwangster12

No I don't have a working system. I'm bricked and it says Qualcomm etc when I connect by XT1575 to a pc.
So do it like you get the answer in another thread.

Hi, I've installed lineage 14.1, rooted then reverted back stock rom(6.0). It worked fine until the update. So now, phone is completely dead no fastboot. If connected to the computer Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 is showing up in device manager.
Came across this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/help/solved-hard-brick-moto-x-style-xt1572-t3693860) and download loader.img and followed the steps, but...
i'm having the same problem with burning the img file in win32 disk imager. It is creating multiple partitions and if install the sd card in my xt1572 it does not do anything for the steps in the above thread.
What I'm i doing wrong
is the other loaderMXS_6.img [email protected]

Magisk 23 to 24 ruined

Now, I have installed and confirm TWRP is working but do not know how to make Magisk working again and it seems it gonna be a wipe. Any help appreciated.

This guide expects me to know what ROM I have. Thing is, I do not know what my device really is. It's running a ROM that I do not recognize (My post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-and-odin-cannot-flash.4372669/post-86069051). I do not have the sources for it so I cannot acquire the required two files. Ramdisk is Yes as per my screenshot but I cannot follow the rest of the guide without the files.
try this
Check hardware and software info Galaxy:
*#12580*369#
Android 9 shows almost certainly a stockrom Pie .

I just TWRP it. It went smoothly. I love a new ROM but need to know what device is it.
Download mode say it is SM-G950N
Android say it is SM-950FD
Both SIM slots have the same IMEI number. This part is beyond my understanding.
I have Odin and know the basics. Just need to find a ROM I can go for: What official I should flash first and what custom. Any recommendation?
As soon as you make a TWRP total backup, you can see your boot.img and move a copy to your internal sd-card. There it can be picked up by Magisk and patched....Magisk will put it in your download folder on the internal sd-card ...
for the best Rom ask members with your S8 phone. I'am on the S7 Edge.

I have been trying to make the total backup but I do not see any boot.img:
And I do not see the file in the Device/TWRP/Backups:
Again, I must be missing something obvious. And as per the Magisk guide, I need the boot.img

Boot.img from TWRP backup
In clockworkmod kernel and recovery are backed up as IMGs. But in TWRP it is boot.emmc.win Anybody know how to convert jt to boot.img? Help will be really appereciated. Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
forum.xda-developers.com
I must tell you that my custom rom for the s7 gives me the boot.img as the first file as soon as i open the zip.
the boot.img can also be reached by downloading the right stock rom for your phone. In that case it is the best practice to patch the whole
AP file by using Magisk.

How To Guide Development for the Cricket Dream 5G

For starters, there's no thread for this device and I wasn't sure where to put it.
Secondly, me and a friend have been tinkering around with the Cricket Dream 5G and have successfully unlocked the bootloader and obtained root access. Unlocking the bootloader was the easy part. Anyways we've made a full device backup before rooting. I have a magisk patched boot.img. Just unlock the bootloader, flash the patchedboot.img and install magisk. There you go, you have root
WARNING
DO NOT FLASH A MODIFIED SUPER.IMG IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE You can, however modify your system, like removing or adding apps.
I bricked mine because I flashed a modified super img. It's stuck in preloader. Still learning this dynamic partition scheme, it's weird
Full backup on Google drive currently, gonna be moving to mega=>
https://mega.nz/folder/UARQCD6I#8CSNy43GWo6XjEKk_mlldw
Links below, all links are thru mega
Original boot=> https://mega.nz/file/JBAhHSTQ#Aw-GQQ6-StdNAhLsu0vdonNDXcBo4wXI8xEalQ99X2Y
Original boot is in bin format but magisk recognized it and patched it.
Patched boot.img=> https://mega.nz/file/hEJjlaxI#e2DdzvNkq1421uESaSQR4ZP_-CHvt6I_IDCEpyYDZqA
And an app for the magisk modules, not my work, only sharing=> https://mega.nz/file/VAQR0ARI#IUT42ycW5bbb8xVSDhDthREJzr1GEd5WHW0xZbkE8Ts
Also, relocking the bootloader after flashing the patched boot img, it will say there's no OS installed. It's still there. Just unlock it and it'll boot. Not sure why. I believe it's the secure boot being on
Just send a message on here if links are broken
If enough people are on this maybe we can get a working twrp
Update: twrp available here => https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/development-for-the-cricket-dream-5g.4414603/
If anyone uses gpay, unlocking the bootloader will break it. But I know a workaround if anyone wants it.
@Welkwo is behind the twrp process.
My post is just a guide, really.
Thank God! I have numerous phones but for some reason, I have my main number through a sim card thast's unfortunately tied into this phone.. I have been searching online for the stock firmware for this p;hone for a long time with no conclusive results, so upon my search for it this morning, I came acrfoss your post and I almost craped my pants. Thank God.. noot for the almost crapped pants, but for the efforts of you and your friend.. Thank you so much.
We are also working on a TWRP for the device. We can get it to boot but it doesn't recognize the partitions. I absolutely love the cricket dream 5g
Is it not completely slow as **** to you?! It's nowhere near what my OnePlus 5T , Redmi Note 8 nor Motorola Ace One can do nor did I expect it to be but God damn it's just super slow to me..
By the way should I flash boot_a and boot_b in fastboot because when I did the first time when I booted back up it kept making Google framework stop responding

Nevermind.. I retract m yprevious statement.. I just got root and I'm blown away at the sactual speed of this phone. It's such a night and day fgucking difference betweeen having root and not.
Sorry I've been absent. My work has me drained and I've bricked my dream 5g. I messed with my super partition and it is stuck in preloader.
Also I only flashed the boot for the current slot via fastboot
We need to create a scatter file, not quite sure how. Any help is appreciated

Honestly I'm not sure. My friend is behind the twrp process. We got one to boot but it don't recognize the partitions so it won't even boot to the os.
Do you have a scatter file? If so please share and I'll also attach it to the op if I have permission, lol
I've got me a new phone so I'll be experimenting again. Just don't flash a modified super img. I messed mine up when I did

Okay. But the DT in the github is your.
I need access of DT for help and if you or users need help about TWRP improvements. Looking my post about collaborator.....
UPD: I donwloaded your bot_a.bin (I need time for donwload super...img file) and I'm working with that to process informations & simple DT. I prefer collaborator than creating new DT in the github. But if I not receive any answer here so i go create new DT in the github and compiled TWRP file for anyone test.
The question now is: Who is the tester?
UPD1: super_backup_2022-03-10_02-34-47.img from MEGA is not good. 3 times trying donwloading file..... Can you put that as zip file in the GDrive?
UPD2: The super.img file was downloaded.
I need some informations from device. But at this point I'll write in the TWRP Cricket Dream 5G thread. .
If someone can put informations so answer in that thread.
Not sure if I should post here or at the TWRP thread but I think I've fixed the problem with being stuck at preloader after flashing modified super img. I got it to work by flashing the modified super img, locking bootloader and unlocking bootloader.
Can someone else also verify that this works?
Edit: Nvm I've been flashing the wrong super img
UPDATE: TWRP IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR THIS DEVICE.
See this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/twrp-for-cricket-dream-5g.4418963/post-86858605
Kinda new to this, but I have a problem I am hoping someone knows about...I unlocked bootloader then i entered the fastboot flash command ...my phone died, as in shut off, power button does nothing, plugging it in to the computer does nothing, and charging does nothing. Thoughts? I'm assuming its dead? Thnx for listening lol
correction, i entered fastboot reboot fastboot
You know what? IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHIN'! I just got a Cricket Dream 5G for free (promo) and the bloody thing won't read a Micro SD card unless it's formatted to Fat32. Which means the largest card it'll use is a 32gb card. I mean WTH? I've never seen anything like this. If I put in a card formatted to exFat or NTFS it says it's corrupted. A Fat32 card is fine. Anyone else run across this? Just another X-File conspiracy against me.
so...no one knows anything??? anyway to fix this??? i noticed when plugged into computer it makes the connecting noise followed by disconnect noise a few minutes later, and button combos seem to change the timing of said noises but nothing shows up under adb or fastboot devices....help!!!!!
