I am unsure whether my phone (which is being delivered from Gearbest) will have google play store and google sync etc all installed and working. If I don't have all of that installed + working I am going to try and flash a ROM (probably unofficial CM14.1) from here.
Now, when I went to see how to unlock the bootloader, the guide had a lot of chinese writing, so I couldn't understand what I was supposed to do... Can someone explain in english how I am supposed to unlock the bootloader?
The following is a snippet that I did not understand from the guide. Link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/development/how-bootloader-zuk-z2-pro-t3415392

Not sure how far you've gotten following that guide. It's very good in pointing you where you need to look but it assumes that you do have a bit of knowledge to follow the basic steps without given a full explanation of every step you need to take.
With that in mind, I loaded a custom ROM in my phone just last week and here's the steps and the pitfalls you need to avoid:
This is the guide I used: http://zukfans.eu/community/threads/zuk-z2-bootloader-unlock.62/
So grab your phone S/N, install ADB and Fastboot on your PC, and install the Google and ZUK drivers.
Things to note:
If you're on Windows 8/10, you might have issues with driver signing enforcement. Bizzarely the drivers from Lenovo for the ZUK are unsigned and Windows does not like that. So you might need to disable this function. Thankfully, it's rather painless. http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
Now to unlock the bootloader. You'll need to go to http://developer.zuk.com/bootloader but first you'll need to register to the site. I'm assuming that you're not in China or have a chinese SIM lying around so you'll need to register using email, which can be done here: https://passport.zuk.com/wauthen3/w...lenovoid.thirdname=null&lenovoid.qrstate=null
Once you register, fill in the bootloader unlock form and you'll get an email with some Chinese writing, this is unimportant. Look at the attachment to that email and you'll find a unlock_bootloader.img file. Download it and you're in business.
Now I ran into trouble sending fastboot commands to my phone, just wouldn't be detected for some reason, no clue why. But I found this tool by mauronofrio: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zu...ol-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3432782 - works like a charm, you can use it to unlock the bootloader and then install TWRP on your phone.
Once you have TWRP then you can install whatever ROM that tickles your fancy, no problem. Personally I'm running Resurrection Remix by fedor917. I tried CM14.1 but it's not stable enough for me and I much prefer RR. Plus it's Marshmallow so xposed works fine on it and plenty other stuff that hasn't reached Nougat yet. I really want Nougat-based Resurrection Remix on this phone and I've been working at porting it, but it's the first time I do this so it's quite a steep learning curve.

Thank you for replying.
I have found a simpler guide I believe...

There is no mention of unlocking the bootloader.
Do i not have to unlock the bootloader then?

That is just for installing the stock ROM (ZUI) so for that you don't need to unlock your bootloader, but if you want to install a custom ROM (Cyanogenmod, MIUI, Resurrection Remix, etc.) you do need to unlock the bootloader and the install process is much simpler (unlock bootloader -> install TWRP -> wipe & install whatever ROM .zip file you want).

Ah okay, thanks.
I've found a good tutorial I think. It seems more simple compared to using the qfil qualcom software stuff. What do you reckon? I've seen other people (can't remember what thread exactly) suggesting miflash to be used as well.

No, the recommended is the local update
Nice work
Thanks for this. This is my first OnePlus device. I'm coming from a 5-year-old HTC One so updating pretty much meant wiping phone completely and reinstalling the ROM. I watched that video on the local update method. Good to know that even the full ROM installation doesn't wipe my data.
I do need some clarification on some things, though. I'm case 2 - stock ROM, unlocked BL & rooted. I have YouTube Vanced installed via Magisk as well as AdAway. I assume those would be considered modifications. In this guide, https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78026660&postcount=3, it says that rooted users need to first uninstall Magisk & restore images before installing the update. Then reinstall Magisk after updating. But here it doesn't mention the need to do this. What's the difference between these two processes? I've read lots of posts lately where people get into a soft brick situation after making some modifications. But I'm not seeing any explinations as to why this happens & I'd like to avoid that.
If I use the local update method from this thread, will Magisk survive the update and will I still be rooted? Or will I need to reinstall it & re-root?

If you flash a stock rom you will lose all the mods you already do, root and twrp included. If you want you can keep the root, i will attach a image guide.

Those are the instructions that I was referring to that had me a bit confused. Is there any benefit to doing the update that way compared to using the local update method and re-flashing Magisk, the way I did when I rooted the first time? Does one method have less potential for messing something up?

Hey guys,
Re: OnePlus6T, Oxygen OS 9.0.7
SOS: Can anyone give me a Guide for Dummies (lol) kinda tutorial on how to unroot, remove twrp, remove magisk, remove adb+fastboot and everything else that had been done in the process of rooting+modding. (root as per https://oneplus.gadgethacks.com/how-to/root-your-oneplus-6t-with-magisk-0190586/ ) (stereo mod as per https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/themes/magisk-stereo-speaker-mod-oneplus-6t-t3860041)
Actually, i am a total newbie/non-techie. But right after updating to os 9.0.7, i took fancy to having a stereo output through the earpiece, too. But in the end, there was no sound from the earpiece. Also, i found some other complications in other sections of the phone, although i don't know whether they were related/due to the stereo mod or the rooting process. And being a non-techie, I did not want to tinker with my phone any further. So, i decided to roll back and intuitively (1)first uninstalled stereo mod from magisk, (2)then uninstalled magisk from within the magisk itself, (3)then used the case #2 method, illustrated at https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/how-to-update-return-to-stock-oneplus-6-t3870795 to go back to the stock rom.
But i find that i have still not gone fully back to the factory state. When booting, i find the screen which informs me about the unlocked fastboot status, etc., which shows that twrp etc are still on my system. I would certainly want to go back to the factory condition. Will someone of you guide me step by step (as i am a non-techie) into removing this fastboot, twrp, etc. and bring me back to the factory condition and also (ii)in removing any fastboot/adb related things, if any, from my windows 10 PC? I shall be very grateful, as I am scared as well as left with no further technical skill to delve further into technical misadventure. It was my big mistake to undertake this exercise, without possessing any technical knowhow, i admit.
Anyway, someone please help.

First post is pretty clear. If you don't know what to do go with the fastboot method, the local update method (if that's what you did with full OTA) must have overwritten your recovery anyway. Boot in recovery to see which recovery you have.
Hello,
I used your fastboot guide yesterday to recover my phone but I accidently flashed a newer version (9.0.10) then I had (9.0.7).
Do I need to reflash my device? If so with what method?
Steps I did:
1. Boot TWRP and wiped all except Internal Storage
2. Reboot in to the bootl;oader
3. Unpacked 9.0.10-OnePlus6TOxygen_34_OTA_017_all_1812111237_f52c4612-FASTBOOT.zip
4. Used flash-all.bat
5. Phone rebooted and working
I did not used TWRP because it did not show the correct internal storage??? If antone knows how to fix that please let me know using latest blu_spark TWRP
Hi All
Wondering if one of you would be kind enough to do me a step by step guide to get me from my current position to having Pixel Rom installed?
Current position:
I had Chinese Rom and I unlocked the bootloader. I then followed one set of instructions to install global EU. Upon following the instructions I could not use Magisk at the time as bootlooped. So just flashed the EU Rom which I am currently using. So TWRP and EU Rom but no root. I am now on PFAEUXM. I received an OTA which installed and now I am on version Global 10.2.26. but now I do not have TRWP installed.
I do know a lot has since happened with TWRP since I did this about a month ago and they are more stable and encryption works etc.
Please could anyone do tell me how to get to Pixel Rom from here...Also I'm guessing I'm gonna lose all data or can I still install Magisk at this point and then install TB to save data?
Any help is greatly appreciated...many thanks
Mick

Wondering if one of you would be kind enough to do me a step by step guide to get me from my current position to having Pixel Rom installed?
Current position:
I had Chinese Rom and I unlocked the bootloader. I then followed one set of instructions to install global EU. Upon following the instructions I could not use Magisk at the time as bootlooped. So just flashed the EU Rom which I am currently using. So TWRP and EU Rom but no root. I am now on PFAEUXM. I received an OTA which installed and now I am on version Global 10.2.26. but now I do not have TRWP installed.
I do know a lot has since happened with TWRP since I did this about a month ago and they are more stable and encryption works etc.
Please could anyone do tell me how to get to Pixel Rom from here...Also I'm guessing I'm gonna lose all data or can I still install Magisk at this point and then install TB to save data?
Any help is greatly appreciated...many thanks
Mick

Follow the instructions in this post as I made a flashable vendor of global v10.2.9.0 to boot the latest PE : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79693496&postcount=107
I was running the same 10.2.24(10.2.26 would not harm a thing) and twrp 3.3.1-30.
You can flash that twrp if not already on it. Backup all data because you'll loose all. You could install magisk 19.3 and TB before flashing PE to backup - up to you.
Procedure : follow instructions in my post.
Afaik this should work for all.
Let me know if you succeed.
If anything might go wrong or being stuck in fastboot without twrp unable to boot, have the fastboot rom ready to flash with miflash (mind to check the ''clean all'' before flash ) : https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/ or https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/cepheus/ (I'm using the fastboot version v10.2.24 in case of)
That's awesome thank you!
Just to clarify one point..You say back up all data? Do you mean whilst i am in recovery?
Equally if I install TWRP again...say 3.3.1-30 is there any bugs still in the sense that unless you reboot after flashing recovery (or something similar like that) you will lose recovery...or do I just go ahead and install Magisk via flashing? If so do I just reboot afterwards to system or to recovery again?
Many thanks again for taking the time to respond
Currently I am on Evolution X latest build and today my camera was opened but it won't close.
Now since my phone is under warranty I want to claim it.
How do I revert back to MIUI, unroot the device and remove TWRP. Please help me.
Regards
flash fastboot rom and u will revert back to stock miui unrooted.
^^ Do I need to download MIUI package or simply that command alone will work?
If yes please guide to resources I have Indian variant of K20 Pro.

"Flash fastboot rom" was a sentence/direction/hint what you have to do, not a (fastboot) command
I think there is a detailed guide in the Guides section. Otherwise, you need to google about MiFlash, install to the PC, read how to use, find on xiaomifirmwareupdater an appropriate tgz/fastboot rom for your device.
I'm not on Pro, not on Indian, cannot guide you more than as above, where to start googling/reading/learning
^^ Thanks for the clarification.
I downloaded latest rom from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/raphaelin/ I tried both recovery and fastboot version.
I flashed the rom using twrp (is that right?) but nothing happens and devices reboots itsefl into recovery. What am I doing wrong?
I am also unable to locate the guide to revert back. Plus I am on Linux so that windows too might now work.
Edit - The guides mention flashing magisk. But I don't want to root as I have to claim warranty. What do I do now?
Edit 2 - I flashed magisk root but still not able to boot. It reverts back to recovery.

Hi,
I just happened to google how to unlock Nokia 7 Plus' bootloader again and stumbled upon this site:
[Guide] How to unlock the bootloader on Nokia Android Phones for free
Detailed guide to help you unlock the bootloader of your Nokia Android device. You can unlock bootloader on many Nokia smartphones, including Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 8, Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 8.1, Nokia 7, Nokia 6, Nokia 6.1, Nokia 5, Nokia 2, Nokia 2.1. etc.
www.techmesto.com
It was updated today with a free way to generate bootloader unlock keys for Nokia 7 Plus apparently. Now I can't test this myself at the moment (in a week at earliest), but do you think this is legit?
At least I can generate a code apparently, so this part is actually free.
Hello,
has anyone tried this unlocker, because I'd like to use it, but since I use my nokia 7 plus as my primary phone I'd like to have some confirmations before using it
I use my Nokia 7 Plus as primary phone as well, but I guess I'll just risk it
However, I can't promise anything here. Hopefully I will get around to it within the coming week.
I tried it yesterday and it work flawlessly.
Just follow the steps on the page, I had no issues unlocking the bootloader.
That being said, I nearly bricked my device when trying to flash Lineage OS onto it (because all TWRP and Lineage OS step by step guides seem to be out of date?), but this guide helped me get back to stock: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...m-flash-tool-nokia-7-plus-b2n_sprout.4023961/
Might keep it handy if you are like me

Thanks for the useful infos.
I suppose I will unlock my phone in the upcomming months but right now I just factory resetted it and it's working almost nicely.
I really want to unlock and flash a custom rom on my phone, because the stock rom it's buggy and tends to have some performance issues, but right now if I mess with it I can't afford to change the phone so I guess I'll have to wait.

Yeah, the tutorials seem to be a little outdated...
In general, follow this guide here (its from the same person that created the official twrp.me site I believe):

I wasn't sure if I have a OOB or POB device, but I haven't had any issues using both (currently using OOB since I'm pretty sure my Nokia 7 Plus is that old )
Secondly, what the instruction somehow failed to mention is how to get the install.zip. It is on their sourceforge page in a subfolder:
B2N_sprout - Browse /TWRP-TEN/OOB at SourceForge.net
sourceforge.net
This is for the OOB variant, you can replace OOB at the end with POB to get the other files
You can verify, that I'm sending you the right link by following the links from the forum post to download the image to boot from. For example:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/b2n-sprout/files/TWRP-TEN/POB/twrp-3.4.0-0-B2N_sprout-POB-10.0-20200829.img/download
Now you can just remove the "twrp-3.4.0-0-B2N_sprout-POB-10.0-20200829.img/download" part of the URL and you get to the folder where all the other images are located. Download the latest "twrp-installer-*.zip" for your device and install it.

This is great, thank you so much! I can also boot from both OOB and POB, will try this out later today
EDIT: worked like a charm. Thanks again!
Great! Glad I could help!
Hi @Znert, did you use TWRP for Android 10 or Android 11?
Another question: can I unlock the bootloader of a Nokia 7+ on Android 10?
Thank you again.

I use the Android 10 version, but I'm not sure what the difference is anyways (it's a bootloader, shouldn't that be OS independent?)
Regarding your second question, yes, I unlocked my bootloader with the latest official stock ROM (so Android 10).
Yes that's what I thought also... Maybe we need to use the Android 11 version to install a Android 11 ROM.
Now I see there is a new version of TWRP 3.5.2 on the official website.

Can you tell me, has unlocking bootloader deleted your apps and data?
In my experience with every older fone, it does format it, but i wanna make sure.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, unlocking the bootloader will wipe your phone. As far as I know, this is true for all Android phones.
