[Nokia 1] Guide on acquiring root on Android 10 Stock ROM

Hey everyone, I no longer have this device, but, I guarantee that these steps will work and not brick your device if you follow them correctly!
PC side:-
1) Download the latest OTA update of android 10 for the Nokia 1 from here
https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota-api/package/8f064e008ca0bb6616e4506f9c9c0f1d68257347.zip
2) Extract this file and you should see quite a few images, then copy the boot.img to your desktop for safety
Nokia 1 side:-
1) Update your Nokia 1 to the latest os either from the system update in settings or just copy over the .zip file we downloaded to a micro sd and apply the update from recovery
2) after you are on the latest update and no other updates are available, download the magisk canary apk from magisk GitHub and then install it
3) After that, copy the boot image we extracted earlier from the pc to the phone, then patch the copied boot image
4) After it's done flashing copy the patched image (from Downloads) to your pc
5)
PC side:-
1) Load any of the scatter files you have for the Nokia 1, the one from the stock rom is recommended
2) Load it in SP Flash tools
3) After that uncheck everything except the boot partition to be flashed
4) You will see a path of where the stock boot image is loaded from, if you click on it, a window will open asking you to select the boot image
5) select the patched boot image we copied to the pc earlier
and clock select
6) then click on the download button
Nokia 1 Side:-
1) Hold both volume up and volume down buttons together and connect it to your PC
PC side:-
1) It will begin flashing the boot image and will display a success message
Nokia 1 side:-
After it flashes successfully turn your device on and open magisk app, there it should say that magisk is installed

Method mentioned in the OP worked 100% for me! Thanks for the amazing tip

I got hold of a discarded device and got it up running. Most of the above mentioned steps I could follow. Problem I have is that the download from the SP tool does not start. I think the exact steps for success must be slightliy different since somewhere else the method to bring the device into "download mode" is pressing volume-up and power simultaneously, not volume-up and volume-down.
What I did and what seems approximately the method for MTK devices is to power down the device and after pressing download in the SP tool to connect the device via USB. But it didn't start.
What could be wrong? Are there perhaps other prerequisites to fulfil, like unlocked bootloader? I was not yet able to achive that either.

You need to have MTK USB drivers on your pc, and, I always held down volume up+down while device was fully off and then connected cable and it worked for me, not sure why it isn't working for your device

Yeah, works better now. MTK drivers are included in Linux currently, but I needed to add my user to group dialout. Then the pressing of vol up and down worked.
I need to work out why the device told me at boot time that the verification failed (red state). I will try again, with option "keep forced encryption" off in Magisk.

Hmm that shouldn't be happening, are you on latest firmware on your Nokia 1? As the boot.img from the link is for the latest Android 10 build

Yes, the device is on the latest FW. Funny is, that after the failure I flashed the boot.img from the link, and the device boots again. That's prove, that the boot.img fits as well as the flashing procedure is working. The only culprit possible seems to be Magisk patching the boot.img.
What about the instructions given here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlocking-rooting-nokia-1-stock-rom-guide.3832230/post-77399813 ? I tried to unlock the bootloader, and it went as far as the command "fastboot oem key <md5>". Is it possible that it tampered the system? I could not unlock since the option in the developer settings is greyed out.

Did you try using both magisk canary and stable, also don't use mtp to transfer boot images, it damages them sometimes, also, don't unlock bootloader it worked fine when I did it with a locked bootloader for me...

I will try to use both. But how disable mtp? Do I need to transfer by SD card or cloud, bluetooth even?

I decided to md5-check the boot.img (patched an unpatched), and it all matches between PC and device. Therefore, I tried the Magisk 24.2 version (from stable) instead of the 24.3 canary. And now: It works.
Thanx a lot!

Endless bootloop (Redmi 9 lancelot)

I tried installing crDroid (unlock bootloader, uploaded FW, recovery SHRP, then install ROM) and after reboot the phone would go back to recovery.
By mistake I "installed" SHRP from ZIP package (I thought I need to install latest recovery file to install ROM with android 12) and phone went into reboot loop, I can't do anything, any key combination doesn't help - I can't even turn it off.
help!

I opened the phone, disconnected the battery, but nothing happened - still bootloop
I'm planning to use SP Flash Tool
Immediately after connecting USB C, the phone boots into bootlop (after disconnecting and reconnecting the battery)

What happens when you flash the custom ROM?
Try to flash the stock firmware and miui
again. Download the latest miui recovery ROM for Lancelot and copy it to the sd card. If you can still boot into recovery you can connect the phone with a PC.
You can also try to reboot into bootloader if the reboot options work from sharp, if not connect the phone to a PC with adb and fastboot installed on it and type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
And now if you are in fastboot you can do anything, you can try to reflash the firmware, recovery etc.
I personally don't use SHRP, it was really buggy and not great. I use the twrp from this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-twrp-unofficial-twrp-recovery-3-6-1_11-0.4421301/.
Thanks for reading and I hope u succeed,
Bye.

U can also try to flash it with MI flash tool.

Operation completed with status [ ]. It looks like there should be a * in the middle and then it would be a sign to me that the ROM is loaded.

At the time of writing, no key combination was working - I can't get into Fastboot or Recovery. I let the battery run out for that moment.

That's what I'll do first, then move on to the solution below.
I opened the phone and disconnected the battery, but plugging in the USB cable immediately turns the phone on and bootloops again.
I'm using Linux and Windows, and one user hinted at hacking the USB driver so I believe it won't boot the phone, only then will I have communication? Other than that I don't know how to do it anyway.
For now, after the phone's battery runs out, I'll try with this solution

I got to the point of connecting the phone to the computer and it connects (the procedure says to use the Power button, but I had to disconnect the battery because Bootloop was falling in), using the Vol- button - the phone keeps connecting and disconnecting....

For a while I tried to connect the phone via SP Flash under Linux - in administrator mode the message "memory protection violation" appears (I don't know how the message is in English).
Adding a udev exception was supposed to help - after lsusb the Mediatek device appeared, I added the exception, restarted - and the same thing happens (the program crashes).

I finally managed (with the help of a group on telegram https://t.me/HelioG85_Unified) by switching off the phone and carefully going through all the points (except the update at the very end) from this link

Wow so many posts... Did you manage to fix the phone now? What do you mean by SP Flash will not fit the DA? Did you download the eng ROM for Lancelot? BTW I haven't done this kind of thing, but when I tried to flash my Lancelot with SP Flash tool it didn't work, because it was just waiting for device.

Other versions of SP Flash (newer) other than in the package with ENGROM didn't work with DA file with manual from links given above - it had to be the one from the package. SP Flash showed errors and crashed or informed about wrong file.

I think that if you go through the MTK Bypass process carefully, step by step, you may succeed, as I did.

Thanks for the info, but I don't need to flash it with SP Flash tool because that was earlier when I didn't try to install custom recovery. Now I have SHRP with CRDroid A12 and its Awesome.

The battery trick does'nt work for me. I can't remember exact version, sorry - but my way was going BACK with SP Flash tool version (from newest to working with file). When I found right version the rest was only going with procedure.
I did it twice: first time I was scared, second - with finding right version of SPFT, every time - like walk in the park. Looong walk all procedure was like 2-3 hours.
Second one try was after trying to load Andorid 13 (2x). Don't do it kids!
After all, my Revolut app stop working lately on my phone and Redmi is retired for now... (and also becoming unusable because slowing dramatically)

Thanks for your answer. it has worked with battery empty (though that might not have benn necessary); not on 1st atttempt v5.2020 but it did with version 5v.2216 in case it might help someone...it didnt flash miui fastboot rom 12.5 but it did flash engineering rom. and from there i will twrp and miui.
Thanks for your suggestion of trying different spflash versions.

my xiaomi will not enter fastboot no matter how hard i try

Hello everyone!
I hope this is seen, because I need your help, well, days ago I wanted to install the pixel experience rom, everything was going well, but when it was installed, I had problems with wifi, and only worked with mobile data (it should be noted that it was Android 13 and my version is merlin). Well, then I decided to change it and return it to stock rom but it has been a tragedy since then. First, I think that being mediatek, the device does not allow to be flashed with mitool, I've tried everything, install twrp but did not serve and now does not let me enter fastboot, what do you recommend? It could be solved (by myself or a technician), or better I give it as dead? I hope your prompt response

Then it starts connecting and disconnecting in your pc."

Maybe change the usb port or install other drivers, but as I told you above, I don't know the tools for MediaTek but it's much easier to restore them for free than the Qualcomm ones.
Do some research on the internet and take the time to fully understand.

Hi everyone, days ago I posted on the forum that I had a bootloop, I could not enter fastboot or recovery, well, I managed to install the rom by sp flash tool without errors, but now I get the error "nv data is corrupted" as seen in the video that I attach, anyone know of a viable solution? What is free and do not have any other problem and my phone back to normal? Because I can enter fastboot and maybe download or twrp or download pixel experience or a rom, What do you recommend?

Question IDK Redmi 10S

Hi there.
I wanted to root a Redmi 10S device. Bootloader was also opened. The flash went during fastboot mode, then after the fastboot reboot command, the device restarted, but it only shows "Redmi" and the word android at the bottom. I tried to access recovery and fastboot mode, but powr+volD only restarts the device and only the Redmi inscription is visible.
I don't know what they call this state in which the device is.
If there is a suitable link on the forum, I would appreciate it.

Hi there!
What did you flash excatly?
I mean, did you flash the whole phone, or just a patched boot image?

What should I use to reflash? Mi flash? This is the NS

Yes... I probably mixed up the boot file in the downloads folder and not the correct received flash

Then, you don't have to flash the whole phone again, just flash back the original image, and try rooting with twrp and magisk zip file (rename the apk file from magisk.apk to magisk.zip, and then flash it in twrp)
If you can't install twrp, or something went wrong, take a full backup from your phone (like using google's backup service, and Miui backup--> it 'll save the backup to internal storage/miui/backup/AllBackup) and then ypu can reflash the phone with mi flash tool, but don't lock the bootloader back, and after flash, you shuold enable oem unlock in developer settings.
One quick question:
Did you enable oem unlocking in developer settings, before trying to flash the modified image?

yepp, enable oem unlock. But fastbootmode is required for all operations. But fastboot mode doesn't work.

What do you mean it doesn't work?
Can't enter into fastboot mode?

Can't enter fastboot mode. The device only shows "Redmi" lettering. If fatboot worked, I could have done it already. power+volume down, the device just restarts and shows "redmi".

Hmm..
And if you holding the volD and power buttons together for a longer time?
Like a min, or sth
I had a similar situation, but after a few tries it went into fastboot mode

it just restarts, as long as I press and hold volume down+power, if I don't press it, it just shows the redmi text

I apologise, but I 've currently ran out of ideas. If I can find any solution, I 'll post an answer about it.

Hi there the forgive my on my bad english and text.
The Only thing u can do is restoring the firmware by using brom mode, Look it up or follow the steps i'll give u....
First keep in mind brom works best Without the batary conected . So remove the thin cover plate at the back u can loosen it with heat , after removing the cover move all screws and remove the housing so u can disconect the batary at the mainboard .
Next u will have to install the Vcom drivers according your chipset mediatek etc.
For the Vcom drivers and install of it u can follow https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-16640.html
U must download or allready have a firmware file in fastboot format , Open up SP Flash tool and go to optionsd and select connection, click the w/o battery option and close it. Open your scatter file and than click on download . Insert your phone wile holding your volume down or up , with my device a redmi note 10s it was the up and down to getter for it was flashing the rom. this should flash your device back with a working fastboot and working rom.
Hope u will succeed...
Greetsss

Yep, this guy here 's got the point. If you can't flash with sp flash tool because auth fail, there's a method to bypass it.
You can find the tutorial here: https://www.getdroidtips.com/bypass-mediateks-sp-flash-tool-authentication-protection/
I also got some help from this guy's post, many thanks to him too.

Let us know how it's going with it! ;D

I can unbrick the device at any time. There is another problem. An incorrect boot file is probably being copied. After TWRP you will never enter android again. But TWRP also only loads up to the subtitle. I tried a lot of methods. Now I will try google p ex. android and make it root.
But, if someone can recommend a device intended for gaming, but easy to root, then I will buy one

If you can root it easily, then the expensive one is good for me! Normal root was not available for typical gamer phones for years. If I buy something for which root may not be available, then I'm wasting my money...

Could you elaborate on step 11.Then Click on button Load Firmware and select your firmware directory that has images on it. Are you referring to the redmi Note 8 stock firmware/flash file? Thank you for your assistance.
