You need to take the extracted boot.img file from the IceColdJelly ROM zip and put it in the same directory that your adb and fastboot files are so that you can flash the boot.img via fastboot.
If you don't understand you shouldn't be flashing anything! Read the guides fully and make sure you understand them before you risk damage to your phone
if u still dunno how to install this rom, i will explain it to u~~
make a folder fastboot at your c drive
then copy all files in there
make sure u copy boot.img from the rom to the folder
launch command prompt and type cd c:\fastboot
then continue install like the step given
press thanks if i help

twrp is a recovery that makes you able to flash supersu to root
I know this is gibberish to you so this is what you need to do:
1- download twrp from here https://dl.twrp.me/a5/twrp-3.0.2-0-a5.img.html
2- download this zip file https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip
3. Enable USB Debugging from Developer options & Disable Fast Boot from Power settings
4. Copy the first file you downloaded to the fastboot folder and rename the file “twrp-3.0.2-0-a5.img” as “recovery.img”
5. Now Connect your Phone to the pc through usb cable.
6. Press shift and right click together. In the popoup select “Open command window here”
7. In the command prompt type “adb devices” .
8. If it shows the list of device attached the type “adb reboot bootloader”
9. After the phone boots into bootloader, in the command window type “fastboot flash recovery recovery.img”
10. Now in the phone ,using volume keys to navigate and power button to select, select reboot.
You now successfully installed twrp
Before following this, copy the downloaded super su zip to your external sd card of phone.
1. Turn off your phone & Then hold Volume Down & Power buttons at a time. Your phone should reboot into bootloader (HBOOT)
#Note: Use the Volume buttons for nevigation & the Power button for selection
2. Select Recovery. Your phone should reboot into Recovery mode (TWRP)
3. select “install zip from sdcard” & then Select “choose zip from sdcard”
4. Choose the #SuperSU.zip file you copied earlier on your device.
5. When it’s flashed, just go back and select “reboot system now” and your device should reboot.
its going to take sometime in the first boot
aaand you'r done.
Basically I have rooted my old Redmi Note 4 but that was past guarantee so I did not care that much.
My current RN 8 Pro is still 1 year in guarantee so I literally do not have the balls to do it on my own.
Is there any good soul who would help me out with rooting it, pretty please? Thanks very much in advance
btw. I do know stuff about Unlocking Boot Loader, installing TWRP trough Command Window and Flashing Magisk...that should be potentially enough but as I said above no balls and do not want to F things up and brick it.

I bought my RN 8 Pro in EU. Im gonna try to give you more information about my phone, if you would be able to link me TWRP what I need and other files to root it...that would be awesome (its not like i cant read or im lazy f**k, its more like i dont want to F things up).

Hello once again...I might need some help
I was following these steps but after flashing this TWRP I cant enter into the TWRP...so far Ive tried holding power button then pressing Volume +; holding power button and then holding Volume+; even holding them both but still without any result...any chance you might help me here, please?
*EDIT: Im flashing stock ROM
Go to the system then do
adb reboot recovery
I flashed TWRP recovery once again, then I went for "adb reboot recovery". This is what happened after I used "adb reboot recovery" (attached picture). There is no sign about TWRP. What am I doing wrong? I literally followed the guide the flash of the recovery TWRP is successful. Is there any chance that Im flashing wrong TWRP recovery? Or that Im doing it on stock ROM? Usually its problem between chair and keyboard but I dont know :-/.
So Ive tried to boot TWRP through after flashing it with "fastboot boot twrp.img". It went through but it booted like normal so I ended up in system like when you turn on your phone normally.
Anybody, anything please?

First: what version of miui?
If you're on miui 12.5 this method will cause reboot.
If your phone is < 12.0.X its okay.
It looks like flashing recovery worked.
Instead of trying to adb reboot recovery after flashing recovery try this:
- When it's done, Remove cable and Hold Power + Vol. Up when phone starts turning on leave the power button but keep pressing Vol. UP until TWRP splash Screen shows up.
Version of MIUI: MIUI Global 12.0.5; Stable 12.05.0(QGGEUXM)

I was already trying that, if I do it how you typed the screen is gonna keep blinking with MIUI logo.
I was looking for the answers and I found smth about "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" to disable android verified boot, but dunno if its my case on stock ROM or not.

First you need to enter recovery, i think you didn't flash boot.
Follow the method below exactly.
Original post and files can be found here.
If error occurs..
1. Go to Minimal ADB and Fastboot in C: of your PC. Open Fastboot folder and Press Shift+Right Click and Select Open Command Window Here at the CMD type fastboot devices and enter (check if it's recognized the device).
2. Enter the following commands: fastboot flash boot boot.img and Enter then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and Enter. We have flashed clean boot and TWRP.
3. Disconnect the phone from the PC, hold the Power button as the screen goes blank immediately hold Volume + the TWRP splash screen will appear and disappear still hold the button when the TWRP splash screen appears a second time release Volume +. The recovery_fromboot.p file is already deleted earlier.
5. Go to Mount in TWRP check data, system, vendor, nvdata and now you can decrypt DATA by formatting in TWRP Wipe-Fotmat Data, write yes and swipe.
6. Disconnect the phone from the PC, hold the Power button as the screen goes blank immediately hold Volume + the TWRP splash screen will appear and disappear still hold the button when the TWRP splash screen appears a second time release Volume +. If Chinese language change to English. If TWRP will ask you the password (this means that there is DATA encryption)click on CANCEL and get to the main screen.
We go to the mount, put check on data, system, vendor, nvdata and MicroSD card (if the phone has a memory card).
Press home to return to the main screen Choose Advanced-File Manager item >system_root / system / folder at the bottom there is a recovery_fromboot.p file delete it.
Go back to Advanced and select Close AVB2.0 and flash the archive with a swipe to the right.
Again, we go along the Advanced-File Manager path in the root, look for the supersu folder in it, select the SuperSu_installer.zip fileand flash it with a swipe to the right. This is an archive from Magisk_19.4 it will patch boot. The firmware of this archive should go WITHOUT a single error, all lines should be white and at the end of DONE. If everything was done without errors in the TWRP select the Reboot-System. The first boot will be a little long and Don't Panic when boot up check the Magisk Manager>Settings>Update Settings>Stable Channel.
I dont have any boot.img in my folder so I cant flash the boot.img. Having stock ROM and I have no clue where to get it.
My current ROM is MIUI Global 12.0.5; Stable 12.05.0 (QGGEUXM) and I think I just found it here on this link:
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/begonia/stable/V12.0.5.0.QGGEUXM/
Can anybody experience confirm that Im suppose to copy out the boot.img out of it and then copy&paste it into Minimal ADB and Fastboot in C: of my PC and then going for the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" as the last msg from Donkyshot says?
Tyvm
Id appreciate any help
Everything I did try is above.

Thanks. I used the boot.img and I was following the guide which "donkyshot" sent. But I got stucked right after I did those commands in command Window. I disconnected the phone went for the power button hold and then when it was blank I stopped holding power button and I started holding the Volume+ button. The phone was bootlooped on Xiaomi logo...I was waiting several times but nothing. At the end I had to flash the phone with stock ROM I downloaded through MiFlash...I really dont know what I was doing wrong.
I have written this comprehensive step by step guide on how to flash CRDROID android 12 ROM for the OnePlus 8 Pro. The original instructions do not cover enough detail.
Ensure you have all applicable drivers installed onto your computer by following this video tutorial:
Reset your phone through using this MSM tool to return to Oxygen OS 11: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4084953/
Install the application to your windows device
Choose the international version
Turn off the phone. Hold BOTH the VOLUME UP AND DOWN at the same time and plug into the computer. The application will now recognise the phone where you can do a factory reset to Oxygen OS 11.
Install Oxygen OS11 on BOTH Slots:
install the latest Oxygen OS 11 from the OnePlus website, as a local upgrade: https://www.oneplus.com/uk/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=PM1587123976
If the official link goes down, find the file from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oneplus-8-pro-rom-ota-oxygen-os-repo-of-oxygen-os-builds.4084315/
Restore to oos 11 using msm -> unlock bootloader -> download latest oos 11 -> transfer to phone -> then system update via local upgrade -> reboot and update via local upgrade + reboot again
Connect to the internet
Click multiple times on the build number after updating to enable developer options
Enable options of OEM unlocking and USB debugging
Once you press usb debugging, connect your device to your pc -> a window will pop up on your device -> press always allow from device. You need to do this for usb debugging to work.
Enter fastboot mode by pressing and holding the Power button to bring up the Power menu and select 'Power Off'. Once you have done that: Press and hold the Volume Up', 'Volume Down', and 'Power' keys together to enter Fastboot Mode.
Unlock the OEM:
Once you're in fastboot mode after pressing oem unlock + usb debugging toggles -> type 'fastboot oem unlock' -> press volume up + power for yes and the device will reboot.
To install the RECOVERY
Download the file named like this: crDroidAndroid-12.0-XXXXXXXX-instantnoodlep-v8.X.zip and recovery from the officaial website:
https://crdroid.net/instantnoodlep/8
put it in the same folder where your adb files are
Open CMD from the adb tools folder on your computer, and type 'fastboot devices'.
if working properly, you will see your device
Type 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
Reboot to recovery
To install custom ROM from recovery
choose "Factory reset"
choose "Apply update"
adb sideload "crDroidAndroid-12.0-XXXXXXXX-instantnoodlep-v8.X.zip"
reboot recovery
choose "Apply update"
Install the correct GAPPS
You're supposed to use nikgapps-SL basic and Nikgapps-SL addons (if needed to restore from playstore backup. Use pixel wizard setup for this.) Good examples of addons you should use will be attached.
For Nikagpps-SL: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nikgapps/files/Releases/NikGapps-SL/09-Jul-2022/ and for Nikagpps-SL addons: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nikgapps/files/Releases/Addons-SL/09-Jul-2022/
adb sideload "gapps"
choose "Apply update"
adb sideload addons
Do the "Apply Update" and sideload each addon
choose "Apply update"
To root the phone:
adb sideload magisk.zip (Change magisk.apk to magisk.zip)
reboot to system
Please comment below if this has helped!
Thank you. By carefully following your guide I was able to unbrick my 8 pro and finally install a non-oxygenos android 12 build. Other guides did not work for me.
I don't see where recovery.img is on crdroid website?
This guide helped me get crdroid running, however I'm having severe issues getting ANY google apps to run. I sideloaded the ones you recommended, but play store wasn't installed, play services wasn't installed. After I downlaoded those apks it did nothing and they dont work. My biggest problem is I can't link my google account to my phone in the settings, I don't see 'Accounts' anywhere in the settings; Which has all my contacts. So at first I thought it was a success, now my phone is literally useless to me until I get my account linked to my phone which seems impossible with crdroid.
How can we do this with TWRP install? If not, why not? Why do all the instructions I see for crDroid use ADB sideload instead of just 'install zip' like every other custom ROM? Also, how do we install Magisk? The usual way via TWRP?
