Hi, first I am newbie but have some experiences. I bought phone Honor 7X (BND-AL10) from chinese eshop. I want rebrand phone to (BND-L21C432) and have working Stock OTA updates for Europe. I read some stuff here and around on net, and if I understand correctly I need:
- working adb (done) - https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
- unlocked bootloader (done) - https://www.dc-unlocker.com/ for buying credits (4€) and https://hcu-client.com/ for get bootloader code from phone
- unlocked FRP (done) - Settings -> System -> Developer Options -> Oem Unlock On
- Flashed TWRP (done) - unofficial TWRP 3.1.1-0 OpenKirin Edition(https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962021903579497006)
- root (done) - Magisk 16.7 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589
- change text in file root > data > product.bin to "BND-L21C" (done) - with root explorer app
- change text in file root > data > custom.bin to "hw/eu" (done) - with root explorer app
- overwrite "oeminfo" file in folder "/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/" with new "oeminfo" shared with other user who has orginal (done) - https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/share-custom-bin-oem-info-t3723605, overwrited by root explorer app
After this I restart phone and get bootloop to Huawei eRecovery, I tryed factory reset and clear cache from there without success. On sdcard I have folder "dload" and there I have "UPDATE.APP" extracted from update.zip, from firmware BND-L21C432CUSTC432D2B331. I tryed flash this firmware with "volume up + volume down but" combo but get error on 5% (Software install failed). When after go to bootloader, my phone is Locked and if I want boot again properly, I must unlock bootloader through "fastboot oem unlock code".
What I doing wrong and how I can recognize if my phone is successfully rebranded ? Thank you.

I have not rebrand, but have looked at the process extensively in the hwota tool. The bootloader locking when replacing oeminfo file is expected. And in hwota the way they do this is to flash twrp to the e-recovery. So after replace oeminfo and reboot the bootloader, oem unlock bootloader. Then reboot will take you to twrp, not erecovery.
From your position, I hope flashing service rom will get you booted again. Then you can see what model is displayed
For some reason I prefer FBE rather than FDE. I used it on custom roms that "don't support it", actually they do, it's TWRP that can't convert FDE to FBE - it just display given commands and reboot (obviously). There was a script that patched boot.img to use FBE by default, but I can't find it. I bet it was somewhere on this sub-forum... Does anyone have this script, or know how to patch it manually?
I'm asking because I can't permanently unlock bootloader, so even if I convert it I wont be able to put TWRP back without unlocking bootloader and that will remove encryption.
Hi,
I have a friend who buy a oneplus 3T (second hand), and I have a oneplus 5.
I noticed a strange difference between these both devices. Indeed, when oneplus 5 is booting, there is the oneplus logo, then the oxygenos logo, then the lockscreen (normal).
But when the oneplus 3t is booting, there is the oneplus logo, then the oos logo, then we need to enter password, then there is oxygenos logo again, and finally there is the lockscreen and we need to re-enter the password (pin).
Futhermore when open twrp on the OP3T, we need the password, then we can read "fail to mount storare" and twrp boot up and works fine after that.
Both of them are secure with pin and sim card pin are disabled.
OP 3T : oos 5.0.7, magisk 18.0, encrypted
OP5 : OB22, magisk 18.0, encrypted
So I dont understand what goes wrong on the 3T, is it normal or do I need a factory on something else?
Sorry for my bad English,
Thanks

Perfectly normal.
OP3/T uses Full Disk Encryption (FDE). OP5 uses File Based Encryption (FBE). The latter is also known as Direct Boot, and for good reason. As the name implies Direct Boot allows you to get straight to the Lockscreen before having to enter any security. That's because with FBE the files needed to Boot the phone don't need Decrypting. As you can see, it's more convenient that way and the startup procedure is less janky.
With FDE on the OP3 you can't do anything until security is entered so you get the Boot prompt to Decrypt and then a Fingerprint on the Lockscreen to unlock the device. (You'll notice on the OP5 you always have to enter a PIN/Password on the Lockscreen after a reboot. That step is on Boot with the OP3).
For Encryption to be secure with the OP3, you have to have your security, whether a PIN or Password, set to prompt you at Boot. This is an option during the Initial Setup of the device when you set your security stuff. It always prompts you to add that security at Boot. Same too if you now remove your PIN in settings and set a new one. You obviously said yes to this prompt as you have on-boot security.
If you had said 'No' you would Boot straight to the Lockscreen, same as the OP5, and would have to enter PIN/Password instead of just Fingerprint on the Lockscreen. It's a big security hole that way though as someone could remove your Lockscreen security from TWRP and gain full access to your phone. This is why you need on-boot security with FDE.
With TWRP:
OP5 - You should get prompted for security by TWRP when you try to load it. If not, something is wrong.
OP3 - With on-boot security:
You will have already entered your security so you are decrypted and TWRP will then load without additional prompt.
OP3 - Without on-boot security:
TWRP will use default_password to decrypt and load automatically. This is a problem as anyone with physical access to your device can use TWRP to remove your Lockscreen security and boot into your phone.
TL;DR:
1) On-boot security is essential when using FDE, even if the bootup sequence is horrible.
2) FBE is superior in that you can boot straight to Lockscreen and TWRP is protected if someone boots to Recovery.
Wow, thank you very much for this very comprehensive answer.
I am reassured now

Thankyou for your suggestions and corrections. I'm glad that you did it.
In this post I'll describe my experience with Root and Unroot of Samsung Galaxy A505FN/DS (DualSim)
I wrote threads on XDA and called for help but I didn't always get it, so I had to look for solutions myself, which I'll share now.
[Root]
[READ BEFORE START]Bricking Samsung devices is reallyyyy hard - but If you mess something up - I'm not responsible for it.
Root, although it gives you new features, also takes away old ones
- Your Knox will be broken - there is no option to skip it, apps like Samsung Pass will never work again (even after unroot).
- Some applications will not be available in Google Play (e.g. Netflix), you can use another store such as Aurora Store, but it does not give a 100% guarantee that you will install the application you need.
- You won't pass SafetyNet attestation - you can use Magisk (Zygisk to be exact) + denylist modules for this, but it also doesn't always work (in my example it didn't work on Stock ROM).
- Unstable system... Almost, because as long as you root your phone, nothing should happen - however, I've already more than once downloaded a module for Magisk and after installing it the phone wouldn't reboot or the phone reset itself at least once in a few days, then you have to disable the module or do a Factory Reset, and doing a backup every time you install a module is not convenient.
- Banking apps - in my case, I wasn't able to add my card to Google Pay or use autocomplete in Google Chrome when I wanted to enter my credit card information. I was also unable to pay via NFC.
[START]1. Make a backup - Rooting will earse all data that you have collected on your phone! You can make backup in your phone settings.
[Samsung Cloud] Settings -> Accounts & Backup -> Data with backup (Under Samsung Cloud Tab) -> Select Apps to backup | Then backup files & photos on Dropbox, Onedrive, Google Drive
[Google] Settings -> Accounts & Backup -> Data with backup (Under Google Drive Tab) -> Click "Make Backup now"
2. Enable Developer Options - Settings -> Phone - Information -> Software information -> Click about 10 times on "Version number" until you see the text "Developer mode has been activated" or until you have to enter the lock code
3. Unlock OEM in Developer Options - Settings -> Developer Options (on far bottom) -> Check "Unlock OEM"
4. Turn on USB Debugging - Developer Options -> Check "USB Debugging"
5. Download & install Samsung Drivers
6. Download ODIN
7. Download Platform Tools
8. Download OrangeFox (only for full root) (Credits to @Enzoaquino)
9. Download MultiDisabler
10. Turn off the phone, when it is turned off press Volume UP and Volume DOWN simultaneously and connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable and wait to screen turn on
11. You can see instructions on screen -> Long Press Volume UP, on next screen confirm unlocking bootloader by clicking Volume UP (All Your data will be earsed now!).
12. Your phone will be restarted two times, wait, after that, disconnect your phone from PC and configure your phone (you need connect to the internet) and do one more time step 2., 3. and 4., but after doing step 4. connect your phone to PC and wait to dialog box pop in -> hit "Always Allow from this PC", and then hit "Allow"
13. Open folder with platform tools (you need to see adb.exe file) and type "CMD" into directory path box and hit enter
{
"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"
}
13. You should see a command line window now - type "adb devices" and hit enter, this should print your android device connected to Your PC
14. If You see Your device, type "adb reboot download" and wait for Your phone to restart
15. When Your phone showing a "blue" screen with text "Downloading...", open ODIN on Your PC
Similar to this
16. In ODIN, Click AP button and pick OrangeFox file that you downloaded earlier
17. Go into "Options" tab and uncheck "Auto Reboot"
18. Click "Start"
19. After ODIN finish flashing, let a phone be still connected to Your PC, press Volume DOWN + Power button for 7 seconds and after Your screen goes black, fast press Volume UP + Power until You see OrangeFox Logo (on Orange Background)
20. Format Data by clicking Bin icon o bottom of Your screen, then click "Format Data" tab and type "yes" to confirm.
21. After that, copy MultiDisabler (multidisabler-samsung-3.1.zip) from Your PC to Your Phone and click this file on your phone in OrangeFox
22. Swipe to install this file
23. Do not click on "Reboot System"! You need to click "Back" then click last icon on bottom of your screen (3 - dash), then click "Reboot" and then select "Recovery". Your phone will reset and You can see that its stuck on Samsung logo -> wait a while and press Volume DOWN + Power for 7 seconds, Your phone will reset and turn on properly.
24. Configure, Connect to internet and open Magisk App (with default icon), It will say that "Magisk needs to download additional files and complete the installation" -> allow
25. After that, turn on Magisk App one more time, it will say the same message that on step previous -> allow
26. Open Magisk App, click "Update" button under "Magisk" panel (not on Magisk App panel) and under "Options" tab check "Recovery Mode" and click "Next" - wait until You will see "Reboot Device" button on bottom right of Your screen- click this button and after reset open Magisk App and check if Magisk App is updated too - if not, click update. (Thanks to @gosc747 for reminding me about this)
27. Your Phone should restart and... You have root on Your Phone, congrats!
[UnRoot]
[READ BEFORE START]- This will do Factory Reset
- You need to find a ROM that fits Your phone -> Here is the site that I recommend to download ROM for Samsung A505FN (A lot of ROMs, Full speed download and.. FREE).
What If I pick wrong ROM?
- It will not install but Your phone will still work,
- Some functions can stop working (example: Your screen will not autorotate)
[START]So, after You pick a Samsung A505FN on that site, You need to know CSC Code for Your phone... But where You can find it?
If You still have original ROM:
1. (On Your phone) Go into settings -> Phone - Informations (on far bottom) -> software information -> Provider software version
2. here you will have your code
3. Type first part of that into Search Box on site that i provided
4. Download Selected ROM, repack this in folder of Your choose
5. Connect Your phone to Your PC
6. open Command Line (like in step 13. in rooting) and type "adb reboot download"
7. After reset, open ODIN, and place all files from Your ROM here
8. Click Start
9. Your Phone will reset automatically, after it's boots up, disconnect phone from pc and turn Your phone off
10. Press Volume UP + Volume DOWN and plug-in Your usb cable connected to Your PC
11. You will see "blue" screen, long press Volume UP and confirm Locking Bootloader by clicking Volume UP (this will earse all Your data).
12. And.. done!
Ask Something If You WantI try to help
Hmmmm why not use a modified kernel instead of patch recovery? When using patched recovery, you need to figure out the right button combinations to boot to system or recovery,whereas when you use patched kernel you can just simpky boot without button combinations.

I mean yee, if u wanna stay with original ROM but just have Magisk installed, then patching custom kernel is good idea - but if u want install custom ROM or something, its good to have custom recovery (besides the fact that you can patch custom kernel via custom recovery)
@TheWolf_Prod
I tried your guide on my Samsung Galaxy A50 (SM-A50FN / DS), I confirm it works
After entering Magisk, I choose to run in Recovery, it starts, but it does not go into Recovery, but normally on the phone
Tell me, do you know how to do this, how do I update to Magisk v24.3 via "Select and patch file"?
Because I downloaded from another TWRP and ROOT guide and I also have a problem with it
And I do on your tutorial as I did on my previous TWRP tutorial:
I choose the method "Select and patch a file" creates the AP magisk _patched for me, I transfer it to my laptop, turn off the phone and enter Download mode, run Odin (I deselect auto start), add files BL, AP (magisk_patched), CS, CSC, gives me start, loaded, exiting, from Download mode, starting Recovery mode, giving, restarting and bootloop is on
~ "I choose to run in Recovery, it starts, but it does not go into Recovery, but normally on the phone"
I guess this is Samsung's "unique feature" - the only option to enter OrangeFox/TWRP is turn phone off -> press Volume UP + Power and when phone vibrates, plug USB cable connected under PC to phone.
~ "After entering Magisk, I choose to run in Recovery, it starts, but it does not go into Recovery, but normally on the phone"
So - on my phone I noticed this problem:
Sometimes when I reset my phone (Either manually or through a dead battery) then after restarting - I lost ROOT privileges. Therefore, if for some reason you need to reset your phone - do it preferably through Magisk (main page -> click the "refresh" icon -> Reboot Recovery) then you can be sure that your phone will boot with ROOT privileges
If your phone has reset itself or you forgot to do it via Magisk - turn phone off -> press Volume UP + Power and when phone vibrates, plug USB cable connected under PC (or any device where you can copy files from it) to phone - then in OrangeFox/TWRP menu You need to click "Reset Recovery" and unplug USB Cable.
~ "Tell me, do you know how to do this, how do I update to Magisk v24.3 via "Select and patch file"?"
So, I don't use TWRP - if You have OrangeFox all You need to update Magisk is just click "Update" in Magisk App.
I read this on this website:
Choose “Select and Patch a File” in method, and select the AP tar file (from Your ROM)
Start the installation, and copy the patched tar file to your PC using ADB:
adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched_[random_strings].tar
DO NOT USE MTP as it is known to corrupt large files.
Reboot to download mode. Open Odin on your PC, and flash magisk_patched.tar as AP, together with BL, CP, and CSC (NOT HOME_CSC because we want to wipe data) from the original firmware.
If it still doesn't work then try to install Ypur ROM without the Magisk patch - maybe you downloaded the wrong ROM?

I have OrangeFox at the moment, I've seen this link before and read it, unfortunately, it doesn't work, bootloop pops up and OrangeFox recovery is missing.
I have an official ROM:
Version Android: 11
Changelist: 22264509
Build Date Mon, 14 Mar 2022 03:20:54 +0000
Security Patch Level: 2022-03-01
Product code: XEO
PDA: A505FNXXS9CVC2
CSC: A505FNOXM9CVB1
When my phone has reset itself or I do it via Magisk, my device is stuck on the lock screen. Whenever I unlock my device, the screen turns black, not responding, or auto restart.
I tried to solve the issue by booting into Fox recovery, then turning on/off Magisk core, or using the Fox Reboot function to reboot into System or Recovery but it is impossible to solve the problem.
