Post your boot images here (With instruction how to flash)

I would like to request users to post all there boot images in a single thread for all other users. and i would also request a boot image that is the Gucci and FBI boot image modded for mytouch that is available in the dream forum, i can post them if you can't find coz with those images i can make a perfect boot ROM(special Hero) highly modded and highly cool if anybody can mod the images for my touch or just use the name magic. with that if done i can make a secure and cool hero ROM that will run as fast as cyanogen's and Good boot and graphics
This is updated with the latest tool. (Windows)
I included a zip with all files you may need at the bottom of the post.
1. Turn off your phone
2. Turn on the phone into bootloader (camera+power).
Make sure it say fastboot in the middle if not hit back and it should appear-
3. Make sure your device is found in device manger
If you don't see adb device up top in device manger find the yellow mark devices
Right Click, update driver, and point to the location of the USB Driver
(http://dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip)
4. Open and extract the below zip to your desktop
You should now have a custom and fastboot folder on your desktop
5. Open up a dos window (start>run>CMD)
6. Type cd desktop then cd fastboot
7. If you would not like to flash the sample images skip to step 9
8. copy and paste the command line by line
fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565
fastboot flash splash2 mysplash.rgb565
fastboot reboot
Part 2 Making your own images
9. Open up the "create" folder
10. Run CreateG1Splash.exe
11. Open up your image in the program and click convert
12. Go to the folder of your images and their you will find mysplash.rgb565
13. Place the mysplash.rgb565 into the fastboot folder
14. copy and paste the command line by line
fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565
fastboot flash splash2 mysplash.rgb565 (maybe the mytouch or magic spl does not have splash2 partition. dont panic if it gives any error. it cannot brick the phone)
fastboot reboot
i just copied it from the dream forum so credits to them

Here are the boot images to be edited
I finally found the images on my hard drive, so here they are. Can anybody replace G1 with mytouch

Right, so here's what I boot to =)
Andy and Astroboy my 2 favorite androids!

Nice! How do you change the boot screen?

Using fastboot
We can change the using fastboot and boot images tool, ican upload it if requested

Here's mine. I included the .jpg and the .rgb565 file for easy use, if anyone would want it.

if u can upload that it would be nice. i wanna try to mamke a nice boot screen. if u have some tutorial on how to make the glow also would be nice, sorry im still new to this as mytouch is my first android phone.

Here's one for ya
myBoot.zip has both a jpg and the raw565 file. Enjoy
edit: Also decided to add the original boot image that spawned this - myOriginalBoot.zip
edit: I finally got that peeing Andy working on this thing! framework-res.apk attached. You need to do the following:
Update your 32b phone to Cyanogen 4.1.2.1
Unzip framework-res.apk from the framework-apk.zip attachment
From a shell, run:
adb remount
adb push /path/to/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework.apk
Now reboot your phone and enjoy your custom boot splash followed by the animation of Andy peeing on an apple that looks suspiciously familiar.
Note - I take no credit for the images you see here. I simply compiled them into boot screens for your enjoyment.

Here is mine... my first try at Adobe CS4 Fireworks... haha

Here is mine (for now)

Can anybody please change the names in these images

Charnsingh - Try these
I put these together in like 5 minutes, so if you want me to change something or if it's not quite perfect, let me know and I'm happy to correct.
Enjoy!
BTW - nice work on the Debian installer, got it running on my myTouch right now and I can't get over having LXDE on my phone
edit - I just noticed the FBI screen had Dream written on it, so you'll notice I made some adjustments to that graphic as well.

For the lxde just install vnc viewer from the market then start debian. After that go to vnc after sometime and input the values given and you Will be running lxde. Have any problem pm me. Thanks for the edit I will throw on a Gucci FBI Rom tomorrow. Just gimme your name and I will make a special one for you (with login and pass)

maybe i may just give the files coz i cant keep on updating each and every hero ROM, and people it will be universal, can be used on any hero ROM. I will create a one click file for windows and mac(you must have adb set up) and one for the phone. Files will be build.conf, the edited system files, the sound files, some image files and sim tracker app from market if you would like that. The editing will not affect the speed, i can also make a speedu script for hero as i have done for my phone which needs to be run every time you flash a hero ROM, just message me

flash troubles...
how long does it take to flash the new splash screen??? my cmd is sitting at sending 'splash1' <300kb>...
and not moving--- anyways i have another question..
there is HBOOT and FASTBOOT...
when im in FASTBOOT it says sending 'splash1' <300kb>... FAILED <remote: not allow>
when im in HBOOT it just sits at sending 'splash1' <300kb>...until i close or do something else to stop it... i let it sit for 20 min--- no way in hell should it take that long

It never takes more than a second for me...

ok so im not sure why i keep getting remote: not allow any help out there?

What SPL are you using? Search the forum for how to root your myTouch.

I have tried over and over to install the USB driver and it will not install. Im running Win7. Is this my issue and how can I get the driver to work so I can run FastBoot?

[ROOT Stock ICS] The easiest way...

Ok this is taken from the HTC SPAIN site (Im only translating it)
1.- Download both files at the bottom:
2.-You will need to install the OMAP4430 drivers (they are inside the file you just download)
a) open device manager
b) Connect the phone to usb with out the battery,
c) you will see "omap4430 device" appearing and disappearing
d) as soon as you see it right click on it and chose proprieties
e) click on the drivers tab and select update driver
f) select the driver on the folder "usb_drv_windows" from the file you downloaded and install them
g) wait till it finish installing them
[Edited by pete3000 to make the process more understandable]
3.- now run the file "Instalar Recovery ICS Europeo.bat" then:
a) Connect the USB cable from the phone to the PC without the battery
b) Wait until the message "Wait 5-Seconds...", then put the battery in.
c) Wait until installation is complete and you see the green screen and the message.
------------------------------
Installed recovery!
Please remove the USB cable
------------------------------
d)Now you can disconnect the cable USB, remove the battery, return the battery, and boot the phone.
4.- Copy the "Su_Bbox_1.20.2_gazhead_signed.zip" file to memory (either internal or external SD card) and install it with in CWM
5. to boot into Clockwork Mod, shut the phone down all the way
a) hold down the 3D button, the VOL DOWN and POWER at the same time. (some say hit vol up but this didn't work for me)
b) when the backlight comes on the screen, let go of the power and vol DOWN ONLY, keeping the 3D held down until you see the clockworkmod touch interface come up.
c) choose install zip from sdcard
find the Su_Bbox_1.20.2_gazhead_signed.zip file using the vol + and - keys.. then scroll downpast the No's to the YES and tap it on the screen.
And you will have a rooted ISC V30B
Enjoy!

i followed this quide but now when i boot up i have greyd in lg logo is there a way to get rid of this or?

I wish this was as easy as you make it sound. When i plug my phone into the computer with no battery in, device manager takes 5 seconds or so to load the devices again, and by that time, there is no omap option to select. Is the omap driver messed up, maybe we could modify it to work without the device manager work around

did you need to have the normal lg drivers installed also, mine stays at the grey lg logo, and the pc seem to be finding all the other device that need drivers.
Omap4boot stays at a blue screen " waiting for device "never turns green, does it normally complete everything at the grey lg logo?
---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 AM ----------
ok got it working there was a 2nd device in device manager i had to manually direct to the same driver folder....

Again, it would have been easier if the BAT file was written in English. maybe some dev on here can update it. I would also like to see them use the adb capabilities and install the su, so you dont have to go into CWM to install it.
Now we need an update to WIFI Tether, unless someone finds a successful combination in the program for setting it up. it had settings for the thrill 4g running froyo and gingerbread.

Thanks all this worked great. I'm also looking for a tehering hotspot fix.

!! IMPORTANT!! be careful using ROM MANAGER with rooting your phone w/this method
The Clockworkmod recovery this bat file uses is a little bit old and has a "reboot" bug. To avoid it, Do not install the ROM MANAGER on google play and immediately boot to the CWM. ROM MANAGER sets a trigger that keeps rebooting into the old CWM and never back to the regular OS. It's officially called the Clockworkmod reboot loop
To fix this, I used this tool which launches a .BAT file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144738 similar to the one you rooted with above. you will need to update the clockwork mode to version 6.0.1.9 (option 5). i also flashed the ICS boot loaders too (option 8).
when i rebooted the phone a new version of CWM showed up and all i had to do was reboot thru CWM. And i was back to the at&t boot screen.

So are you running ICS or GB? Option 5 is for GB. Just double checking before I follow your lead.

Nevermind... I did the update with ICS and it worked fine. The only difference I see is you will need to hold down the power button and vol down longer when you boot it into CWM. If you release the power button and vol down button as soon as you see the back light it shuts down instead of boot.

I made an attempt to edit the settings.db , hoping to regain my hotspot functionality.. No luck the phone hung during boot. So I decide to factory reset it. Now there is no entitlement entries in the settings.db. The file is much smaller. I'm guessing the carrier has moved the wifi entitlement to another db.

i found a wifi tether post for ICS in the O3D area, but it didnt work either..
i saw this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181555 but his settings didn't work. I hope someone can help us with it soon. i filed a bug report to the actual wifi router site.

I got hotspot working. I'll send details after I get home this evening.

Hi Pete. Personally i had a problem with the easy form of rooting the stock ICS, because i got the clockwork mod loop when i tried to go back into a factory reset.
Can i Use your method with a stock ICS in my thrill?
Another question is, Have any body fix the movie player missed function in ICS? because in GB i can play any 3D movie, whatever the format and can change it.
Thanks for your time

yes. I used it with stock ICS from AT&T/LG.
for 3D movies, open the movie in the stock player. you will see a side by side version of the movie. Hit the 3D button then hit the the settings button to choose side-by-side.

[In-depth Guide] How to Root, ROM, Unbrick and add CWM to your GT-S5830i

So the Samsung Galaxy Ace is starting to get old and obsolete now. But that makes it the perfect device to mess around and try all these ROM's on! This is going to be a short guide explaining how to root, unbrick and add some ROM's (With downloads) to your device.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
There's a link to all downloads at the end of this post. Note - I do not own the rights to any of the tools used for the rooting, ROM-ing and unbricking process, all credit goes to the rightful owners, unfortunately I can't remember who made each one so shout out to them all!
Downloads - Dropbox
Google Download
Disclaimer: In doing any of the following you are voiding your warranty and will trip the knox counter. If you don't understand the implications of rooting and changing your devices coding, I would advice checking before continuing
Rooting your device
So let's start. First off your gonna want to root your device, right? So in order to do this we are going to use a small zip file (download below)
Step 1 - Connect your PC to your device using a USB cable.
Step 2 - Chances are now you will get a notification pop up on your phone, this will say something along the lines of "Click here to start file transfer." All your gonna want to do is click on this notification and then wait until a button comes up saying connect to PC. Click that button and now we have access to the device from your PC.
Step 3 - Download the root zip file below if you haven't already.
Step 4 - With your phone still on, locate the folder in which your device stores everything and copy the root.zip file into your phones sd directory (if possible), or main directory.
Step 5 - Now power off your phone.
Step 6 - Hold down Power, Volume up and Home to enter recovery mode.
Step 7 - Now you should be presented with some nasty looking words, don't worry this is totally normal! Use your Volume down button to scroll down to "apply update from sdcard" and then press the Home button to confirm.
Step 8 - Again, using your volume controls scroll down to your root.zip file and press the home button
Step 9 - All being well you should get a message saying "Phone Rooted!"
Step 10 - Using your home button press "Reboot system now".
Step 11 - Check if root is installed successfully using an app from the google play store called "Root Checker". All being well you should have a rooted device! If your phone gets stuck on the samsung logo during the initial reboot wait 5-10 mins and if it is still stuck refer to "Unbricking a device".
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Adding Custom recovery to your device
So now your device is rooted your gonna want some kind of custom recovery to replace the old one, for this I am going to use Clockwork Recovery (aka CWM)
Step 1 - Turn your phone on if it's currently off
Step 2 - Connect your device to your PC as mentioned before.
Step 3 - Download "ClockWorkRec_S5830C-i-M.zip" (below)
Step 4 - Copy this file over to your device.
Step 5 - Turn off your device.
Step 6 - Boot into recovery mode using the button combination Power, Volume Up and Home.
Step 7 - Again, using your volume keys scroll down to "install zip from sdcard"
Step 8 - Find ClockWorkRec.zip and click it using the home button.
Step 9 - It should now start the short process of installing CWM.
Step 10 - All being well you should be presented with a yellow screen with ClockworkMod Recovery written at the top.
Side note - On my device every time I boot into recovery I have to reinstall CWM, this isn't a major issue but if it's the same for everyone, one that may need looking into!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Unbricking a device
So after installing CWM I find this is the most common time things go wrong. Provided you followed the instructions nothing should have gone wrong however there's always a chance. Alternatively you could have done everything right and just a ROM or something happened to screw up your device. Don't panic! All you will need to fix this is a computer and a usb cable
Step 1 - Install the following files from below - "S5830IDXMB1_OLBLD1.rar" "16_Shrewsbury.rar" and "Odin3-v1.85.zip"
Step 2 - Extract all these into somewhere sensible in your PC.
Step 3 (Pre checks) - Power your phone into download mode using Power, Volume Up and Volume down. Then when the screen comes on, press Volume Up again.
Step 3 - Open the folder now hosting odin and double click on the .exe file.
FOLLOW THE NEXT FEW STEPS VERY CAREFULLY
Step 4 - Boot up odin. Provided everything is working the ID:COM box should go some kind of color (other than white) and have something like "0:[COM4]" being displayed.
Step 5 - This is the important bit. Click "Bootloader". Now find the folder you extracted to before and click on "S5830IDXMB1_OLBLD1/ BOOT_S5830iDXMB1_REV00.tar.md5"
Step 6 - Now click on "PDA" and select "S5830IDXMB1_OLBLD1/ PDA_S5830iDXMB1_REV00.tar.md5"
Step 7 - Now select "Phone" and choose "S5830IDXMB1_OLBLD1/ MODEM_S5830iDXMB1_REV00.tar.md5"
Step 8 - Finally choose "CSC" and pick "S5830IDXMB1_OLBLD1/ GT-S5830i-MULTI-CSC-OLBLD1.tar.md5"
Step 9 - Make sure that your odin now looks like this -
Click here for image
Step 10 - All being the same, click "Start"
Step 11 - Hold your breath and with some luck it should finally say "PASS!"
Step 12 - Reboot your phone and it will be good as new.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Adding Custom ROM's to your device
In this tutorial I am going to be using to of my favourite (and working!) custom ROM's. These are simplicity and a lollipop firmware update.
Step 1 - Turn on your phone again
Step 2 - Download your chosen ROM of choose below.
Step 3 - Transfer the zip file to your device.
Step 4 - Power down your device.
Step 5 - Enter recovery mode using the keys Power, Volume Up and Home
Step 6 (Optional) - Re-install CWM if not already installed
Step 7 - Make a nandroid backup by scrolling to "backup and restore" and clicking backup.
Step 8 - Go back to the main homepage and scroll down to "wipe cache partition".
Step 9 - Go back to the main homepage again and this time go to "advanced" and then "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Step 10 - Finally go back to the homepage and click on "install zip from sdcard"
Step 11 - Choose your chosen zip of the ROM
Step 12 - Wait until finished then repeat steps 8 and 9 before rebooting the system.
Step 13 - All being well you should now have a Custom ROM installed on your device. If your device gets stuck in a bootloop this could be because of a faulty ROM and you should go back to "Unbricking a device".

Thank you

I know this may not be a popular thread anymore, however, Google says there's a virus detected and won't allow dowbload of the ROOT-S5830C-i-M.zip file.

Google detects 'virus' patterns in many root applications, guess they are very similar to real virus files.
If you download all files together (or the folder) download is possible.
Or make a copy to your own gdrive to download this file.

Sigh, I hope I'm not spamming the forums, but they seem to be inactive and I can't seem to find a solution...
My phone's usb port is aparently damaged. When connected to my computer, it will only charge, with no response whatsoever from the computer.
This by itself represent no problem, as I can just use the SD card for file transfers, but now I need Odin, but without USB it woun't work (evidently).
There is some app like FlashFire that works with S5830i?

Hey, what is the current state of your phone (rooted, unrooted, bricked, etc.) and also what is it your aiming to achieve?

Lenovo Yoga Tab 2 830F - bootloader unlock and permanent TWRP guide

The original posts by ionioni and workdowg have been removed, and it was very confusing for me to piece together what needed to be done. I will mainly link to the other excellent guides here and elsewhere, and only write a summary of steps.
1) Unlock bootloader - http://club.lenovo.com.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1156890 - (it's in Chinese, just use Google Translate - I downloaded the 830F file and it seemed to work for me). Download the zip file, extract the img files. Reboot to fastboot, and do "fastboot flash ESP 830f-esp-patched.img". Then, reboot to check that the system still boots.
2) Get recovery file from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-t3322990 - actual file link - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24421527759888155
3) Shutdown tablet
4) Start up tablet in DNX mode - hold power, volume up and down buttons together for a few seconds - tablet will start up, and you will see “Fastboot starting….” (this was the missing step that I needed to make it work) - based on a comment by ionioni in some thread in this forum
5) Shutdown tablet by long pressing power button
6) Start tablet in fastboot mode, by holding power + volume down button
7) Now flash the recovery file downloaded in step 2 - fastboot flash recovery <file>
8) Once it’s finished, confirm success by booting into recovery mode - press volume down/up button to cycle between options (shown in rectangle box at the top of the screen) and choose Recovery - TWRP should start up!
9) Then, restart the tablet or continue normal boot, and then reboot into recovery to confirm that TWRP indeed starts up automatically
10) Profit!!!

Thanks, I was also very confused after bumping into the mysterious locked/first post deleted threads about TWRP on the Yoga Tab 2 !
I'd rooted it originally with the CWM Hack but after some "familly password mess-up" I'm finding I could use TWRP to get into data/system to delete the password files. Will try your method out although it doesn't look like a temporary TWRP access is possible and unlocking the bootloader will, well hard reset it, so...
EDIT - ok, first problem, to download the .esf file it seems you have to register on the Lenovo Chinese site using a Chinese phone number ?

I don't remember how I downloaded the file, maybe I did register for an account? I think email can be used for registration, try that.

I've stored the file on Google Drive, here's the link:
830f-esp-patched.zip
drive.google.com

Very kind of you, thanks !

I just bought that tablet Yoga 2-1050F and read something about it here and there but still not sure if I can do that on 1050F? I read in other thread that both ver use the same kernel? The specs are the same, same CPU and GPU.
You know some good custom ROM for it, or are they any? As I see the development for that model wasn't so popular

do you need the tablet be on Lollipop ? or kitkat is just fine ?

[Guide] Get out of Qualcomm Crashdump Mode for Android 11

Before you start, make sure to put all of the files that you need in the same folder as your adb.exe and fastboot.exe because it will make things easier when you have to fastboot files to your phone. Make sure to follow the directions from the original developers of the tools below. Also, in the windows file explorer, right click on the "Name" tab, in the pop up click "More," select "Path," and also select "Folder Path," then click "Okay." This will make it easier to find the file path name if you need it when you are flashing a specific file to your phone using ADB.
Once you navigate to your android fastboot/adb folder, at the top of your file explorer, click in the address bar, this will highlight the text blue in the address bar, delete the text in the address bar, type CMD and then press enter. The adb/fastboot command window will pop up and be ready for you to use. You may as well leave that command window, the MSM tool, credits: Lucifer6: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/msm-tool-guac-for-all.3934691/ and the Tool all in One, credits: mauronofrio: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...boot-roms-for-oneplus-7-pro-7-pro-5g.3931424/ , https://toolaio.tk/ open in case one of these tools decides to bite you in the brain so hard your phone melts into booting itself properly.

I wasn't able to use MSM Tool by Lucifer6 because my phone didn't want to be recognized by my computer and I am not sure the files exist for android 11 to work with the MSM Tool, but if they do exist or there is a way to use the android 11 zip with the MSM Tool, please someone post it with detailed instructions so that everyone can find it.
I couldn't get the Tool All in One to work because I don't know, however, there are important files in mauronofrio's zip file in this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...boot-roms-for-oneplus-7-pro-7-pro-5g.3931424/ Grab the zip file from the link next to "All Roms on AFH." This can help get your phone back from the nightmare of the qualcomm crashdump scenario. If you are on android 11, do not flash the images in this zip folder because the zips in this post are for android 10 and I don't think you can downgrade. There are more directions about this in number 3 of this post.
If at any point you are able to boot your phone into the system, DO NOT put a password, fingerprints, facelock, swipe pattern, nudey collage on your phone to lock it up until AFTER you are sure you are completely done using TWRP, because Nebrassy's TWRP, as far as I know, is not supposed to be able to decrypt the phone once it has a nudey papier-mâché password on it. So, once you put a password on your phone, you may not be able to use TWRP again unless you like pain.
And yes, I did try, in the past week to clean install my rom, made sure to not create a password, flash TWRP and magisk, make a password for the phone, realized I needed to do something else in TWRP, deleted my papier-mâché password and the fingerprints to go along with and then try to get back into TWRP. It's really a hit or miss. You may get back in, you may end up flashing something only for it to get stuck in a TWRP booting boot loop like I did.
It's risky. Take off your password to your phone, then TWRP it up, say your goodbyes to TWRP and then finish setting up your phone with a password. Also, you may have to try plugging the OEM charging cable into different USB ports on your computer at specifically any time.
There are three different recipes that I tried to get my phone to work again after crash dumping. Any one of these could help. For me, it took doing all three, trial and error and error and error for my phone to get booted and rooted after the crash dump so you can try doing the easiest looking ones first, which are number 1 and number 2, see if that works, and then move on to the harder one.
Read all three recipes first before you try anything because some things from number two you can use in one or three. You're in for a real one right now so relax and get comfy. Take your time and make sure you follow the directions in the original posts by the developers because it will waste less of your time if you make sure you extract everything and other scientific ratchet. And you'll make less of a mess of your phone than it already is.
It's bricked, not dead. Hopefully. Hopefully, it's not dead. And I'm not much for hope nor am I much for being blamed if your phone slips into an endless hell pit, it contacts a plane's black box and directs said plane to land onto your roof, or some other maniacal nonsense backwater dribble okay let's get started.
1.) Easy: I used a combination of movements buttons including power off and volume down, only volume up and volume down which did other things, and power off and volume up. At first, none of these movements buttons would take me to fastboot mode. It would just keep rebooting to qualcomm crashdump mode no matter what.
Flustered, red, breathing hard because I don't walk enough, I tried these movements buttons again and again and again and again and not always in the order I wrote them down. I kept trying until I saw some Chinese writing.
Choose the first option even if you can't read the text. Guess where the "Okay" (bottom right) is and click it. The text--the first option--is highlighted in blue, which I should have said in the first place. Hopefully after twitching that phone for a good 30-45 minutes or more depending on how long you like crying, it will finally boot into fastboot mode. Plug the phone to the windows, fastboot boot the twrp.img from Nebrassy in the CMD window. If you are still trying to root, grab a usb or an external hard drive that has the rom zip and the latest magisk.apk that you need for your phone (directions below). If you are not trying to root, grab a usb or an external hard drive that has the rom zip and just flash the rom and that's it (directions below).
Plug the USB storage into your phone. On twrp go to "Mount," click the checkbox next to "USB Storage," click "Select Storage," then in the pop up click the circle next to your USB or external hard drive or whatever you're using. Go to "Install," select the zip of the rom on your USB Storage, click "Install."
You can then flash twrp afterwards by going back in the past and selecting to have TWRP flashed automatically after a rom installation; it's in the options. Or by going to "Advanced," then click "Flash Current TWRP" (mind you this is for the Oneplus 7 Pro using the TWRP 3.5.2_11-Nebrassy image in October of 2021, so if you're reading this and have a different phone or you're from the future, please, don't laugh at me if the current way of flashing TWRP is outdated by the time you read this).
Then you must flash magisk, reboot to TWRP recovery, and then flash magisk again or else the phone won't boot. After flashing magisk that second time, you may reboot the system. Once you get past those sussy terms and voluntary agreements, magisk will look like an android 1 icon. Click it.
The phone will ask you for your hand in marriage by asking if you are truly ready to jump off the deep end by allowing magisk to install unknown apps. Click I do, and magisk will install. Then, magisk will ask you to install the other half of itself, and again, make that app yo baby momma by saying yes, yes, yes. And now you have a new phone with none of your old life to spy on you and tell you how good you weren't in the past or whatever.
3.) Not so easy, but manageable. Caution, read slowly: Another thing I did try was to flash all of the images in the stock rom zip. You can download the correct rom for your phone in this post, credit OPTeam: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...a-oxygen-os-repo-of-oxygen-os-builds.3930585/ ,search the googles, or use the OEM website. Then, use the payload dumper method from here: credits to djsubterrain
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ot-image-and-apply-root-to-the-phone.4263811/
After I djsubterrained my payload, all of this sounding unnecessarily dirty, I put it in this other thing that I tried (directions below): credits to mauronofrio
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...boot-roms-for-oneplus-7-pro-7-pro-5g.3931424/
I downloaded the zip file from the above post in the link next to "All roms on AFH." Extract it. Once I did the dump on my payload, I took all of the extracted images from the "payload_output" folder, put them in a new folder inside of mauronofrio's extracted zip folder, named that new folder "images," and just renamed the original "images" folder that was in the zip file to something else.
In mauronofrio's extracted zip folder, I copied the file named "flash-all-partitions-fastboot.bat" from the "Others_flashall" folder and pasted it into my new "images" folder. I double clicked on the "flash-all-partitions-fastboot.bat" file. An alluring window opened and I typed "Y" for yasss and then clicked "Enter."
And then that flashed most of the images to the phone. Not all of the images flashed. Some of them said "failed," but the important ones like the system.img and boot.img, among others, flashed successfully. I have no idea if using that specific ".bat" file was the right one for my situation because I wasn't sure if I was wearing comfy enough pants to be seen by the oracle.
After that, I did the the whole fastboot boot to TWRP and flashed the zip rom over again using my USB storage because it was easier for me to do that than to figure out how to adb sideload when the adb sideload button in TWRP wasn't working and while I was crash dumping for qualcomm, my phone refused to be recognized by the Tool All In One and the MSM Tool. Then I flashed TWRP, then I flashed magisk, rebooted to recovery, flashed magisk again, and then I tried to reboot to the system. But my phone booted back to twrp, a lot, a lot of times before the end of this story.
2.) Also easy: I think from TRWP (or you can use the power and volume buttons mantra from number one) I clicked on reboot the bootloader from fastboot mode. I used the up and down volume buttons to select "Bootloader" or "Start" (do both until the "Boot Reason" screen shows up for you).
For whatever reason I clicked "Boot Reason" and the reason was something made up like fs_mgr_mount_all. I clicked "Next" at the bottom of the screen and it asked me to wipe everything like music and photos which I already thought were long gone. But I have a backup of my music and my photos so no big deal.
I clicked on "wipe all data," and my phone finally booted back up into the OS. I went through the completely voluntary terms and conditions and voluntarily, completely voluntarily, and no one else is here with me, agreed to the voluntary terms and conditions. And then I clicked on the android 1 icon for magisk and...
At some point in time I formatted the system using TWRP after flashing the zips and the stuffs and now even though my phone says encrypted, the first time I booted back to twrp after finishing setting up my phone and putting a password on it, TWRP said that it decrypted USER 0 after putting my password into TWRP. I have no idea how it happened.
Nebrassy's TWRP is not supposed to be able to do that for android 11 as far as I know. About 30 mins later I booted back to TWRP just to see what would happen, and sure enough it took my password and decrypted my phone. Even though I am on android 11, rooted with a TWRP that is not supposed to be able to decrypt USER 0. I don't know how. Maybe I'll try to upload a log file so that can be figured out, or maybe by now it has already been figured out. Don't know.
So, that was fun, I hope you were able to get out of the crashdump by any of the means used here or not here. If you were able to get out of the qualcomm crashdump some other way or have advice on how any of the recipes could have been cooked better please post it in a forum or in this thread or sector B.92-80 of space so that no one ever comes close to using the very last tears their body has to offer.
I'm sorry if I forgot to give credit to anyone but at this point you'll have to flash me into recovery to get it. Or just say "I belong in here too," and post a link to your something helpful.
