Hello guys,
I want to upgrade to Pie bt currently device is running on Oreo November patch with pre rooted-twrp boot image and modified system . So it would be safe if go official update which m getting via my updater app ( see SS ) ... I dont want to brick my N8 .
And i cant use NOST tool bcoz i have no unlocked criticals and i don't know how to unlock it . I tried bt ended with error ( does it need unlock.key - given by hmd ??? I have lost it and link is expired which was provided ny hmd )
Or is there anyway to restore like untouched partition ??
Thank you guys

Hello Xda ,
I just bought a p10 few weeks ago , and yes i've just root it by doing OEM unlock , install twrp , flash the root images and i have rooted my p10 .
few days later system update notify me which is **********B133 , i had figure out how to update manually because OTA update wont works on rooted device .
so , i install the update using twrp flash the update images and yes i 've done the update also .
But the problem is after i updated my phone , the root is gone , so i have to re root the device , but in order to root the device i have to wipe to factory reset .
The question is ,
1, is there anyway to update system without losing root ?
2,is this update really useful for the p10 ? for p10 rooted user did u guys update ur phone to latest firmware ? If yes , how u guys do it ?
3, is there anyway to relock Oem without losing root ?
4, is there any software/apps that can update firmware beside flash the img ?
Thanks for your kind assist.

I had the same problem with my T-1004,
Tried OST but didn't work.
Then I gave a try to ntool, and it flashed. I am able to get security updates now.

ok my way was use ost tool 6.04( tutorial you can find here in nokia 8 forum).
unlock critical is needed! flash latest nbo and reboot, now you can update till oktober, bootloader lock or relock isn't needed!
Try method.
Use ost 6.0.4 tool and flash firmware v488b nb04
Download update "may security (about 1.x gb) " then copy to sd card .
Boot to recovey, update via sd card and choose file update u already download.
After that ur phone will get update normally
I have solved it. My Smartphone was unrooted but not unrooted critical. After i use fastboot oem lock_critical i can Update via OST ! Problem Solved !
This is the reason most guys had. They didn't unlock critical.
Hi everyone.
I just bought a new Nokia 8, but it's on Oreo. I want to rollback to Nougat and root it.
However I saw many things here on xda and I fear to mess with my phone.
So first off all, here are some details of my Nokia 8 :
- Model TA-1012 (64GB/4GB RAM)
- Oreo 8.1.0
- Security update December 1, 2018
- Kernel version 4.4.78-perf+
- Build 00WW_4_88B_SP07

Downgrade :
I've downloaded 2 firmwares :
NB1-484A-0-00WW-B03.nb0
NB1-4390-0-00WW-B01.nb0
Problem 1 : I don't know if there are Nougat 7.1.1 firmwares, so if anyone can confirm it ? ALso is it good for TA-1012 model ?
Problem 2 : I also saw the same firmwares but with "QFIL" at the end of filename. What is that ? Is it necessary ?
Problem 3 : How to downgrade with firmware like these ?
Unlock Bootloader :
I know that I have to unlock my bootlader, but I heard that there is a critical mode, how to do it for my TA-1012 ?
I saw this topic but I don't think its about critical mode https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-8/development/official-nokia-8-bootloader-unlock-t3848051

How to ROOT my phone ?

Thank you in advance guys, I love that phone too much to brick it :laugh:
Why to you want to downgraded the phone? Is nougat better is performance or battery?
On all my phones, the most old firmware is always faster and less battery consumming than the last (I measured it).
But right now, I've succeeded to unlock my bootloader offficialy. However, when I tried to boot TWRP with Fastboot boot twrp.img, it's stuck on Android Logo Of course I can reboot my phone but I can't flash TWRP...
Is it becasue of 1st December update ? is it because bootloader isn't critical unlocked ? Or becasue of boot a & boot b partitions
Apparently it's because of December Security Patch...
Can I downgrade my phone to nougat to be able to root it ???
Hello,
In order to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM, I need to downgrade from Android 10 beta to Android 9, since the latest beta doesn't work with the official ASUS unlock APK.
Problem is, when I try to flash the Android 9 image, I get the same error whether I try with adb or with the internal tool.
The message I get is 'This package is for "WW_Phone" devices. This is a "" '. Error status is 7.
My phone is neither unlocked nor rooted, so I don't get how it's not recognized.
Any help?
Auto-solved
FYI, if you try to downgrade with the android P image found on the asus website, it won't work.
You have to download the image with file name starting with Q_P_UL...
we"re facing the same problem i can't downgrade my phone i forgot to unlock bootloader first. please help
You don't need to unlock the boooader for a simple downgrade. If it's still locked dowoad the image starting with Q_P... then put it in your phone's root folder.
can you please give me a download link for the Q_P_UL file tho
