So, I wiped all data, system, cache, internal storage using TWRP and then I flash the system.img to System Image and boot.img to Boot into 2 slots (A & B). Consequently, I lose TWRP and root. I have gone back to May Security Patch Nokia 8 TA-1004. I have updated and updated up until October 2018 Patch.
Then, I tried to use "fastboot boot twrp.img", however it doesn't work. It is just stuck to POWERED BY ANDROID LOGO. Flashing twrp will break the wifi and I do not want that. Anybody has solutions for this? I can't get it to boot to TWRP. I use Android stock recovery and apply update in SD Card, not working as well.
I really want to have access root. All because of that stupid random restart occurs in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-8/help/nokia-8-sudden-restart-occurred-randomly-t3852357
Note: During flashing system.img which reverts back to stock one, I didn't use fastboot command. I use TWRP to revert back.
Download and extract this stock boot image and you can use it to root through Magisk's patch boot image option.

YOU SIR, ARE ROCK. This is very much working for me. I can boot already to twrp. No longer stuck in POWERED BY ANDROID LOGO.
Although you have mistyped the command. It should be "fastboot reboot bootloader". Anyway, thank you. I have given my thanks to you.

I wonder if some kind soul can offer some wisdom, I unlocked my bootloader and flashed twrp. All fine so far.
I then upgraded to Pie.
I then flashed Magisk.
I was getting some strange Magisk behaviour so uninstalled it but for some reason it did'nt restore stock boot and Play Store was misbehaving.
I then flashed this boot image ^^ and yes, very stupidly, I now have no wifi (my MAC address is screwed).
I can boot to OS but I have no File Manager, nor root and I don't really know what to try from here.
I cant get to recovery (twrp or stock), it just get stuck on the Powered by Android logo.
I have debugging enabled but adb just reports my device as offline.
I cant get in to fastboot mode either.
Really appreciate some help from a kind soul

Hello i unlocked bootloader and after working so hard i finally booted twrp img to my nokia 8 and from there i cant access to twrp it always opens stock recovery.pls help me.....
I tried 2 to 3 times but i cant access twrp the process was successful but cant access it
I would say if it does not boot to it, its not there. Just flash twrp again. Use the latest from their website to do it.

In every case, it is possible to upgrade to latest OxygenOS by using full signed zip from this thread via Local Upgrade.
With the device powered off, hold Volume Up & Volume Down buttons to force it to boot to Qualcomm download mode.
Use the most updated signed driver (2.1.2.2 at this moment) to avoid potential issues..
For detailed procedures, please consult the linked threads above. There is no reason to repeat the same thing again.
Make sure the path of the extracted files doesn't contain any non-English character. The tool isn't unicode aware.

Thank you for this!!
Doesn't this leave you with a Chinese modem (limited LTE bands and roaming configs?) and critical partitions? Wouldn't an international or European tool be more suitable considering that Oxygen zips may not overwrite everything? Or is this just a temporary guide with what we have?

Temp? yes and no, I would say. Better than warranty R&D in days no phone for use.
As far as you can revive the phone from QDL9008 back to HOS/OOS, you now have a chance Again to switch over whatever ROM or OS you want later on.

Please help me, I failed pretty hard and bricked my phone.
I rooted my phone with stock recovery using a patched magisk boot image and all went fine.
Today, I deviced to temporarily boot into twrp to check it out, so I booted into fastboot and used "fastboot boot twrp.img"
and booted into system. I was confused and rebooted but now I was stuck in stock recovery. So I completely flashed TWRP
on boot_a and boot_b and into TWRP I rooted my device. But even now I am always bootlooping into TWRP and can't
get my phone to boot into system.
I tried using the unbrick tool but my device won't show up on my computer, even with the driver installed.
I'm screwed, can someone help?
Can I somehow reflash the stock recovery and revert back to my patched boot image?

Thanks for your replies! I was on OOS 9.5.5 and I tried flashing the twrp/magisk zips but that didn't work either. I also tried applying the stock boot.img to the active slot, but still got the recovery bootloop.
So as my last hope, I wiped all data in recovery mode, rebooted to fastboot and sideloaded the complete stock image from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424
I reconfigured my phone from scratch, rooted with the patched boot image like before and everythings works now. Guess I will not bother with TWRP any time soon.

When I reboot into edl mode, it recognizes the "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008", but then 10 seconds later, the phone automatically boots the the battery display, which disables edl. The same this happens whether I use the vol up+down and plug in, or `adb reboot edl`.
Edit: "How I learned to stop worrying and risk a brick"
Selecting the right COM and hitting start in MSMtool in that 10 second window kept it in edl mode for the duration of the flash.
Hi,
I'm coming from a rooted November image for my Pixel 4XL and am having trouble getting the December magisk_patched.img to take. I've successfully applied google stock December image, rebooted to Android, patched boot.img with magisk, but when I try to flash magisk_patched.img in fastboot, it flashes, but reboots to fastboot with "error boot prepare" displayed. Flashing stock boot.img gets back to Android without issue (but no root).
I've tried flashing with both cmd and powershell. I've tried "fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img" (and also fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img and fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img). I'm using Magisk Manager 7.4.
Not sure what else to try. I'd rather not do a factory reset at this point.
Any suggestions?

Just a couple things to try.
1. Did you fastboot the factory image to both slots? If not I would try that first, without the -w of course.
2. When you patched the boot.img, was dm-verity checked off? If not, enable it, then patch it again.
3. Have you tried from a cmd....
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img --slot=all
Whatever it is, I hope you get it working :good:

Sheesh! You using canary or stable magisk? Either way, I'd switch to the other one and try that as well. If that doesn't work, then you may have no choice but to either factory reset, or remove all your drives, platform-tools, redownload everything, and start over. I can't think of many other things to try

I was stable before, but had just tried canary. Same situation.
I'm reading https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/help/december-update-rootable-t4013605/page6 and wondering if it's related to systemless hosts for adaway which i did not disable.

I don't think so, but I suppose anything is possible. I've left magisk modules intact before, but never had the trouble like your having. Shoot, you might even try flashing a different factory image image other than what was recommended by google. People seem to have had the best luck with the .012.A1 version which is supposedly for AT&T only.

I'm using 012.A1. Google updated their factory image/OTA site and removed the reference to ATT. I had double checked someone else's phone here that got the Dec OTA update and she had 012.A1 after being on 007.A3.
Going to take a break from trying things for a day or so because it's frustrating. Arrghh.
And thanks for the help!

Yep, that was from the .012.A1 factory image. I'm using stable magisk. Question, did you have dm-verity checked off before you patched the boot.img, and, did you disable all magisk modules before you patched and flashed the boot.img? Either way, I'm glad you got it to boot up :good::good:

The first time I successfully patched the November boot.img I did not check off dm-verity. I didn't either for the first time(s) I tried the December image. I only tried, unsuccessfully, with dm-verity checked after you mentioned it here.
I did have the Systemless Hosts module enabled when patching the December image. This is what I was referring to earlier when I mentioned I thought it was related to systemless hosts for adaway. I actually didn't realize that when you enabled that in Magisk Manager, that it installed a module. So I never thought I had a module active, but I did.
To end this saga...after getting root again, I did a Titanium Backup, Factory Reset, and re-rooted by patching boot.img again with Magisk Manager canary. It went smoothly, as it should have originally. Now to restore....
This error seems to occur when you flash a boot.img that doesn't match the exact firmware version.
=> Download the correct, currently installed full firmware package, extract the boot.img and flash it.
Solution
This occurs when you're on Android 11 build and try to install the Android 10 build.
There's a simple fix though, thankfully.
Download the Android 10 ota image for Pixel 4 XL from google, and extract the dtbo.img from it. Flash it using
fastboot flash dtbo_a dtbo.img
fastboot flash dtbo_b dtbo.img
If that doesn't work, you can flash the whole stock Android 10 build and then you can boot whatever you were trying to.
Please click "Thanks" if this worked for you so that others can see.

How can I get out of that?

Is there a way to restore my stock rooted phone to allow updated the latest stock OTA updates without having to reflash the whole previous stock ROM? With my previous MOT phones (Moto 2, Moto 3, Moto 4) all I had to do was restore stock recovery and logo and then reboot to allow OTA updates. But since there is no recovery.img in this phone's ROM xml then that option is out. It would be nice not have to restore everything from scratch in order to get the updates.

Yup, If you are just rooted stock and have NOT installed the copy partions.ZIP... Boot to TWRP From FASTBOOT BACKUP your DATA to flash back after Install...Just the Data and install Magisk Uninstaller... After MAGISK unistall... Format DATA PARTITION ONLY...MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON BOOT SLOT A... Reboot to the SETUP WIZARD... STOP and reboot to bootloader.......HAVE STOCK BOOT IMG READY TO BOOT FROM CURRENT FIRMWARE... The STOCK installed boot img has the bootloader and modified devices flagged so that kills the OTA INSTALLATION.... If you have installed any modded logo.bin you have to replace it with STOCK on both logo_a and logo_b
fastboot --set-active=a
fastboot flash logo_a logo.bin
fastboot flash logo_b logo.bin
fastboot boot boot.img
DONT FLASH BOOT
it will trick the flags from trippin that stop the OTA
Setup the phone from setup wizard and it should automatically update the OTA so really its two updates....
Once its done reinstall TWRP and TWRP restore data then install Magisk reboot to your data rooted stock updated OTA

Thanks KtownJeff, that does sound much easier. Why aren't others posting this much simpler solution? Has anyone else tried this?
I haven't tried it yet as it looks like they may be about to figure out the low call volume issue in custom ROMs and then these OTA updates won't be necessary anyway? I'll wait and see what happens over the next week or so.
I'm wondering why it's necessary to wipe the data though. Why isn't uninstalling Magisk and booting with the original kernel enough?
JerseyChewi said:
Yeah the calling issue is just a lineage thing...and lineage is so generically lame. mokee or corvusos are my favs. Most of the custom Roms work well.... and there is a lot more ROMS for our device that is not on XDA.... The Data may be fine Just back it up first....and I put this on telegram and if you haven't checked it out there is five channels for our phone with tons of stuff.....more ROM builds We also have Pitch Black Recovery now available which is twrp with a cleaner UI and lots more options

WHHAAAT?? I got a few questions...
Why is it important not to have the copy-partitions.zip installed?
Why you should be on slot _a?
There is no need to boot the boot.img instead of flashing it. The Magisk uninstaller restores exactly the same boot.img as you can find in the firmware zip. Your device isn't able to store any data on that image.
Sorry, but this is the most complicate way for an OTA I have ever red. You could sum up these steps to "flash the stock firmware". In the end the result is the same. But it's much easier.

Assuming this is not your first time flashing the firmware and you already have a flash script/.bat file:
1. run the script
Done! One command and 5 min later you are on the latest firmware.

Motorola provides you OEM signed images and a .xml sheet with proper commands to flash them as a .zip file. I've never heard that someone bricked his device by using the manufacturer's recommended way. I think it's risky to use your own workaround just because you're nervous about it.
Even if you unplug the device in the middle of the flashing process you won't face any trouble. Every single flashing command loads the image into your device's RAM before it gets written to the device.
fastboot oem fb_mode_set = no matter what reboot command you run your device boots into bootloader
Why are you nervous about it?
Why is it important not to have the copy-partitions.zip installed?
Ok so the copy partitons zip is only supposed to be installed when you install the first custom rom coming from original stock..... because it breaks the chain for OTA from motorola.... If you root stock and flash recovery only Its not necessary.... so that way when OTA comes it will move to the B partition the way that it was intended to.....but the boot-loader is unlocked now both slots start with a boot-loader, bootloader_a and bootloader_b.. .and the on board preboot chip will trip the first flag that communicates with stock flashed boot image which also holds the recovery and the kernel... even if its backed up stock.img with magisk, it will break the next flag on the device along with the custom logo.bin.... now the custom logo if it is cloned with a moto signature official it wont matter and the only one Im aware is logo.bin for the TMOBILE REVVLY variant.... when you boot not flash the stock boot.img it bypasses the security chain until reboot.... I've flashed b slot on accident and then booted several GSI and other lake Roms and at some point ill notice on the bootloader screen that maybe i have April 2020 when Im running July 2020 version....which is headache to fix and i booted to b slot flash stock as normal let boot to the setup wizard then reverse to a and do it again because it brings it back together... now the mapping for the AB partition with duel slots t is standard for all ARM64 AB devices Bootloader a and b Boot a and b Radio a and b which is (firmeware) slot Vendor a and b System a and b....
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ess-updates-affect-custom-development-on-xda/
the reason why I wrote it the way that I did was because I tried everything to OTA back and this was the only way it worked for me.... and trust me I stayed up for weeks trying to break it or fix it....I finally I came across a moto g6 thread where some one relocked there bootloader and didnt have the oem unlock set and they couldnt do anything to unlock it again using fastboot because the switch was grey out on developer options which means they couldnt root to fix..., I believe it was Sd_shadow that recommended trying to boot the boot.img like how we boot the twrp.img because it bypasses the security flag... well my first attempt it didn't work which led me to the mismatched boot-loaders and I kept at it and by process of elimination and fully learning the way these partitions communicate..... which is totally backwards from the way it used to be... If u leave data then flash back stock, the boot-loader thinks its fresh but finds its not......so boot-loop... tried it cussed and tried again and screamed but now its automatic. for me because of trial and error... I've been at this a few years now and I'm learning something new all the time and most of time when people don't post is because they either don't know or don't wanna give wrong info or maybe nobody showed them. There kinda is an unwritten bylaw at XDA (tough love)... you gotta learn by experience that way when get an opportunity to help or find a new way it makes it worth the stress
That is why I wrote it the way I did step by step in the easiest way possible because of my experiences and headaches...If it don't work you didn't follow directions.... Now I'm gonna tell you I re-locked my bootloader too and was not able to flash back ota don't even try its a waste of time because the only way to get that flag back is to re ball a chipset, or replace the motherboard, or buy a new phone....

First of all the copy-partions.zip is a simple dd command script packed with flashize to flash it through TWRP. It determines the active slot and copies your essential partitions to the inactive one in case they were left blank by your manufacturer. You should have a look inside it.
Also there is no complicated chain of safety for OTAs. When a device powers on, the bootloader first checks if a device is locked or unlocked. If a device is unlocked, the bootloader shows the user a warning and then proceeds to boot even if the loaded OS isn't signed by the root of trust.
If the device is locked, the bootloader goes through the steps in Verifying Boot to verify the device's software.
Magisk hides the unlock state to pretend a trustworthy environment. That's the reason why OEM unlocking option is active and OTA updates start to install. But OTA update files verify your system's integrity by calculating checksums for each partition. This check fails with a active Magisk installation and update process ends with an error.
A preboot chip or sth like this is not in use on Moto devices. Partitions 1-14 (+/-) are defined as your bootloader. A prebootloader does only exist for MediaTek devices but not for SnapDragon.
There's a lot of official documentation about all the stuff...
In my opinion the easiest way to update your device is to flash the stock ROM. One script and it's done. No need to flash this and boot that only to be able to download the OTA which hasn't been installed until then. Your system takes more time to flash the OTA update then fastboot takes to flash the firmware.
BTW: You can call me what you want but that doesn't make your statements right either.

Holy Moly! Come on guys! I only wanted a way to fix OTA on my rooted stock installation without having to do a complete stock reinstall. At the time I asked the question, the newest full stock ROM update was not yet available. It is now. My point was I didn't like going through a complete reinstall of my apps and settings, Backing up my Data partition then trying to restore it has never seemed to work for me. Anyway you all need to just chill and put your egos away.

The fact is you need to restore everything back to stock for an OTA. This includes a deinstallation of Magisk (also modules are gone) and restore your stock boot.img with the stock recovery. Then you download and install the OTA, go back to fastboot mode and start installing TWRP and everything else.
This was option 1.
Option 2: Download the latest firmware on Telegram (only possible with your device!) or install LMSA tool, which also downloads the latest build. Boot into fastboot, flash the firmware (without erase userdata) and boot TWRP. Flash TWRP installer and Magisk. Done!

I'm thinking not, since this was the first thing I tried when I got the notification for the update. And the update still failed.

Telegram didn't have it when I installed the update. LMSA kept giving me a "Decompression failed" error message. So I just reinstalled the stock version I was already on and allowed the update to complete. Then reinstalled TWRP and Magisk without any issues once I had all of my apps and data restored.
Not taking any offense here, but I am not a noob and while I didn't give all of the details to what I had tried I also didn't want to reinvent the wheel. I didn't think about eliminating the line "erase userdata". Since it was very simple with previous devices to do it I knew there had to be an easier way.

Yup, If you are just rooted stock and have NOT installed the copy partions.ZIP... Boot to TWRP From FASTBOOT BACKUP your DATA to flash back after Install...Just the Data and install Magisk Uninstaller... After MAGISK unistall... Format DATA PARTITION ONLY...MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON BOOT SLOT A... Reboot to the SETUP WIZARD... STOP and reboot to bootloader.......HAVE STOCK BOOT IMG READY TO BOOT FROM CURRENT FIRMWARE... The STOCK installed boot img has the bootloader and modified devices flagged so that kills the OTA INSTALLATION.... If you have installed any modded logo.bin you have to replace it with STOCK on both logo_a and logo_b

I got a china version OnePlus 10 Pro
i was flashed in oxygen OS A12 EU
I extract the boot.img (52M) from payload.bin today and use magisk cancy to patch
and then i try to fastboot flash boot boot_patched.img
and now start bootloop on one plus splash screen
I can still go to fastboot and fastbootD , I can still flash the payload again but still bootloop
anyone have idea what can i fo to fix ? thanks

Hey,
If you've only booted the image, then you only need to reboot and the image is lost, the only way that it would be permanent is if it was flashed: fastboot flash not: fastboot boot.
Usually what happens is when you obtain a firmware to install or in your case change region, and you wish to root this firmware you would extract payload.bin then use fastboot enhance to extract the boot.img
Then copy to your phone and patch it with the latest stable Magisk (in this case 24.3)
So again, if you've only booted the image then just reboot your phone and it'll turn on using the actual flashed boot.img from the firmware, not the one you booted.
If that doesn't work then you must have flashed it. In which case you can either re-flash your original boot.img or boot then direct install a correctly patched image for the correct firmware (after a success boot) via Magisk.

No he has changed region. This is for color OS...he's already done all this.
If you read the OP, he's already on EU 11_A.12

Are you suggesting that the boot.img in color OS is the same as it is in OOS?
You're mistaken if you do think that
They're completely different operating systems, have different system.img's boot.img's, in fact most if not all images are different, to suggest he should obtain a firmware that he's just changed FROM is a bad suggestion..
That's what I'm talking about.
As per the OP, he has changed region, he is no longer using color OS ( the site you suggested is referring to this firmware)
He is now on oxygen OS using the firmware EU 11_A.12
If he was to attempt to use a color OS boot image his phone would continue to be in a boot loop but for a different reason.
Again, this would make things much much worse.
If what he's advised is true then he's successfully changed OS/region and now wants to root, the only thing he's done thus far is to boot a boot image. I think he's flashed it as booting is not permanent, to suggest to go ahead and attempt to obtain a color OS boot image or vendor image is absolutely ridiculous.
He's on an EU firmware. So he requires an EU boot image.
He's in boot loop cause he is booting to A slot...
Thanks for everyone's reply i did change the boot to A and reflash everyone again it can boot now but when i try to root again , it stuck into fastboot mode

you need to load the firmware EU 11_A.12 to b slot using fastboot enhance
He already had boot?? What are you talking about???
He had a functional OS, in order to root you only need ONE image.
The boot image which comes from OOS. The link you sent is for Color OS?? Make sense now ??
He just needs to patch it correctly and boot it then direct install.
Im going over this again with someone who's incapable of understanding the basics.

You do realise that booting an image does not need to be directed don't you?
Only by flashing should you direct the image to a particular slot.
By flashing you are permanently flashing an image.
I don't think you understand this so I'll make it simple for you.
You want to root your phone. You have an image you've just patched, from boot.img to magisk_patched.img
Firstly you would want to send this via fastboot, you do not need fastboot enhance for this.
The preferred way to do this is to fastboot boot magisk_patched.img
Why is this preferred??
Because if it fails as it may. Then you are not stuck in a boot loop, you just reboot and you're back in the OS.
The 2nd method is flashing.
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched
Press enter.
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched
Press enter
fastboot reboot
Press enter.
Now although this can work it is not the preferred method because you aren't just booting the image you are flashing it, this means that if it fails you cannot just reboot and get back to the OS you have to either obtain a new boot image and patch it although you cannot do this yourself as your phone no longer boots or you obtain an already patched boot image, again the last one I wouldn't recommend..
Thanks again but i had a question , i tried to flash or boot a patched boot img , now i can boot and get into system...but still not root

It is always better to patch boot.img of your own version (you can dump it from payload dumper etc.) and then only fastboot boot patched_image.img and then directly install it via Magisk.
Boot this image.

Do not flash it.
If your phone boots to the OS, then open Magisk and click install. Direct install and you're done
