Dude !!!
Dont post this type of posts in this thread
others will think that you flashed the recovery and got bricked your phone
please edit the above thread and tell your actual problem like you flashed using kdz updater and the bricked.I have already PMed.

After clicking on the .bat file, it does put gscript app on my phone, but it can't find the script.sh file on the sd card (there's no gscript folder as well).
Should I try the installer again? Create the folder and copy the file?
Nevermind, it's working now. I just don't know how to keep going from there. How do I install a new ROM?

After I click on the script, it does blue screen and then reboots, but not into recovery mode it just starts up like normal.
Thanks .

I had this problem too (tho i flashed manually) but when i reflashed it worked fine.But before you try reflashing it try to boot the phone into recovery using ADB
Here is how:
Plug your phone in and enable debugging.
Then open ADB and type in su and hit enter after that type reboot recovery and again enter.If you flashed the recovery correctly your phone should boot into recovery. Hope that helps

Hello!
Your tutorial is quite good and very helpful.
Everything worked as you described.
But, after the blue screen, I had an issue: my phone stops at Fastboot mode. Then I get the message "udc_start()" and it stops there, nothing happens. It doesn't start android. Can you tell how to proceed from there?
Thank in advance!
Best,
F

does this work???

If ripping out the battery didn't help then you need to flash the recovery via fastboot.Since your phone automatically boots into bootloader ( the udc_start () state) you need to download fastboot flasher ( you can find it via google or xda search) and flash recovery from there.Just make sure you are flashing the right recovery.And then from the recovery you can flash a custom rom.

You boot into recovery and navigate to backup (in order to make nandroid backup-you can skipp this step but you won't have a stock android backup in case you dont like the new rom or it doesn't work) than navigate to flash zip from sdcard(obviously you need the rom on the sdcard) and then select the rom and then confirm flash.After that you should see a yellow progress bar after the flash is complete you reboot your device.Oh and just in case you didn't know you navigate using up and down volume buttons you confirm with menu button and you cancel/go back with back button

People say it does personally i haven't tried it (because i flashed mine manually) but i highly doubt that Vivek would post something that doesn't work.

I did it differently because there is no working link of the recovery.zip
after rooting the phone with gingerbreak, simply download ROM Manager from play store and flash recovery from there.

hi i need original rom 2.2.2 for my phone in zip form so i can put on my sd card and flash dose anybody have this and if so could they upload it for me thanks

Works nicely! However, I had to follow the following procedure:
- Disconnect the USB cable
- Start in fastboot mode
- Type the command in the PC (it should says something like "Waiting for device")
- Connect the USB cable
Without using this procedure, I would get stuck in "Waiting for device". Hope it helps someone.

Hello. Have you tried flashing the recovery from fastboot? Also, what do you mean, you can't get into recovery? can't you choose the recovery option and select it in the fastboot?

Try the revolutionary method for getting S-OFF http://revolutionary.io

i have downloaded it and it says waiting for the device ,, i have the drivers installed and i am in the fastboot usb ... why it says waiting for device ? windows 8.1 x 64 is my system />?

Windows 8 is the problem, ul need to google the drivers for it, windows 8 is a nightmare with fastboot. If u can get ur hands on a laptop/pc with windows 7/vista etc it would be much easier.

same thing i installed the drivers on win 7 64 bit and it still says waiting for device ... what can be the problem and how to troubleshoot that ?

Make sure to install these drivers as well: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
Try to do it with these steps:
You'll want to make sure your phone has USB debugging enabled: Menu > Settings > Applications > Development > make sure it's checked
Go to http://revolutionary.io/
Select your operating system (Windows or Linux only at this time)
The download should start right away and you'll be prompted to obtain a beta key (we'll cover this in a sec)
Extract the .zip file
Run the file "revolutionary"
A command prompt should appear and ask you for the beta key (the serial number should appear right next to this)
Go back to the Revolutionary site, select your OS, device, HBOOT version, and enter the serial number from the previous step
Generate the beta key
Copy the beta key over to the command prompt window, press enter, and wait patiently. It took a little bit for the phone to reboot into fastboot and proceeded to reboot fastboot 4 times. On the third time S-OFF was shown.
The command prompt window will then ask if you want to download and install ClockworkMod Recovery, type "y" for yes and press enter
Congratulations, you have an HTC EVO 3D with S-OFF and a custom recovery installed! However, you don't have root yet!
Reboot the phone. It may go through the hands free activation process, but just let it do it's thing.
Follow this link to download a .zip you'll need to obtain root
Transfer it to your SD card
Reboot the phone into recovery
Flash the zip from there, reboot, and you're all done!

[GUIDE] Unlock bootloader and flash TWRP recovery

PREREQUISITES:
- Nubia Z17 device.
- USB type C cable.
- Computer with Windows and adb-fastboot drivers installed and configured (there are a lot of guides on the Internet).
- Nubia Z17 Pack -> You have the mirrors at the end of the post
STEPS:
1.- Download the pack with all the necessary stuff.
2.- Decompress the folder that is inside the rar.
3.- Open that folder, press SHIFT and at the same time do right click. Click on open a powershell... or open a command prompt...
NOTE: if appears the first option you have to send the command: cmd
4.- Put the phone on fastboot mode (power and vol+ at same time) and connect the phone to the computer.
5.- Send the command fastboot devices and it should give you something like this if the drivers are OK:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
6.- Send this command to unlock bootloader: fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX563J
Now you have your bootloader unlocked!
7.- Send this command to flash TWRP: fastboot flash recovery TWRP_recovery.img
Now you have the TWRP recovery flashed!
8.- To reboot into recovery you have to choose with volume buttons the option to reboot recovery and press power.
There is a little problem, the recovery is in Chinese and I don't know you, but I don't understand Chinese :silly: So let's change the language.
9.- When it displays the first screen, something like this pic, you have to press the second button and choose your favourite language (I always recommend English)
10.- Now you have to root the phone, go to Advanced > Tools and press Root device.
Now you have your phone's bootloader unlocked, the TWRP recovery flashed and root access!

u shud root the phone . open twrp / advance / tools / root device.

after i unlock bootloader i flash twrp and gapps. But when i restart the phone, the phone stop on the logo nubia and stop. Why?

the developer of the twrp said that you should root the phone first after you flashed something in the recovery mode.

adb/twrp issues....

Firstly, when plugging my 7t in to my windows 10 PC, I am asked to choose which mode to go in within usb preferences, as I did previously in order to achieve and ADB driver connection I chose file transfer.......
this didn't work for some reason, only when in MIDI did I get a confirmation with adb devices.....even though there is still no sign of adb interface in device manager.....
any ideas? I can get adb connection with MIDI but is this good enough to flash recoveries/boot images etc....?
I tried to flash twrp and I could successfully boot into twrp directly via fastboot but twrp couldn't seen any of my storage, despite having all security methods turned off...
all i want to do is gain root access but I am having no joy....
ever since android 10 rooting anything for me has been a pain in the ass......truly fed up....it shouldn't be this hard......
I also flashed a patched boot image in an attempt to gain root access but it all did was break my wifi........which i fixed by copying over the latest image and installing locally......
please HELP....

Everything about this issues is already said in this forum.

Oh, I thought, you are have issues with adb, and for root, you just have to flash magisk using twrp

This isn't functional at the minute as TWRP, whether its flashed or booted from, cant get past the encryption.......it cant see/mount the internal storage....

You will have to wipe the data and then twrp can access internal storage.
This is how I did (in my phone, which is not Oneplus, but the process remain same for all phones), boot to fastboot mode and type this:
fastboot -w
Now, boot your phone to recovery mode:
(Now take complete twrp backup of your phone, and save it in your pc, before proceeding futher)

Now boot the phone back to OS and you will have root access

TWRP is not functional at the moment, so stay away from it.
The only way to root right now is to use the patch boot image method.

No don't do this.... This is not about encryption at all. It's about the major partitioning changes that has happened in Android 10. Wiping the system will just make everything worse.
Avoid using TWRP at all.

Oh, I didn't know this phone was on Android 10, Thanks for letting me know.
TWRP doesn't support Android 10 yet.
You can see it here
https://twrp.me/site/update/2019/10/23/twrp-and-android-10.html
Actually there is a twrp compiled for this phone, but that doesn't work , you can see the messages in thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3976961
The steps I told, was for Android 9 and earlier devices, I assumed, this is an old device.
@mediaman123, So please wait, until twrp starts supporting the Android 10.
And for rooting, I am not sure, whether magisk supports this new phone or not.
Maybe @Lossyx can help you on that.

Seen this, however my device, the European version, is running on 10.0.6.....
The only boot images available with that post is the 10.0.3...
wouldn't feel comfortable using them.....
I would like to know how to extract the stock boot image from either the firmware file or the phone itself...

You can go ahead and just fastboot boot them. If it works then just proceed, if it doesn't, just hold volume up+down and power button. (To boot into fastboot or restart phone)
Nothing will change in the system because it only boots a temporary image.
If your want to extract your own boot image you can use this tool.

So if it boots an older image successfully I can move it over to the phone to patch to then flash it or use the already patched one and flash that...?..

Hi thanks for the link. But my phone is bricked, can't enter recovery or fastboot mode. So the only solution here is a read firmware or scatter file.

I would like to ask how do I extract the boot.img file from the phone? I can access the internals through the adb shell. I would love to learn the strategies used to extract the firmware from android devices that do not make them available. Thanks!!

Simply... You can't without root.
To get root (permanent root) you must unlock your bootloader........
Please, read this post to understand what i'm talking about https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/nokia-g21-development.4424031/
I think that today there's no way to unlock G10/G20/G21 bootloader. Then, no root or custom recovery can be build.
Maybe, @mvikrant97 can share with us some info (PM).

I unlocked my g20 TA-1343 by taking a hundred tiny screws out , shorting the test point, and using MTK Client 1.6
hyperlink of the link i pastedhttps://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
I only took it apart because the other option was send it back to HMD
But I don't know how to flash the bin files with magisk or whatever as they're not valid images. but the thing is basically root if i felt like learning.
