After successfully rooting my Nord 2T by backing up and then patching the stock boot.img I proceeded to patch the inactive slot within Magisk (it was unecessary of me..) and after rebooting entered a loop. Anyone know where I can get the factory ROM? I was on the May patch. Thanks in advance!
I am also looking for the factory OTA image.
How did you get the boot.img exactly?

Good ol SP Flash but I think the backed up images are corrupted hence the need of factory firmware to use it to restore my device.
Apologies I did not realise you still needed the firmware. I have mirrored it here if you still need it May Patch Full ROM

So extracting boot. img from your file won't be enough to do Root right?

You can't extract from the firmware. You must use spflash tool to pull the boot.img from the device (mediatek devices are a bit different to Snapdragon devices)
I'm going to do it today but I had to bring my daughter to the hospital after a fall she had which required stitches.
Once I have it extracted I might write a guide on how to do it with links to all firmware needed and have a thread where we will have both the stock and magisk patched boot.img's available.
Been like 6 weeks and no root on my device, this is the longest I have went without rooting in almost 7 years

Thanks. I rooted mine within a day but went too far with patching the inactive slot via Magisk and now phone is soft bricked. If you are still interested in extracting the boot image for patching then use this tool. I tried to use it to flash the payload.bin but phone still not booting. I even flashed all the extracted images manually in fastbootd. I guess the OTA file doesn't contain all the files needed to restore the device back to its factory state.
Anyone with the full firmware containing the SP Flash Scatter file please share it. You'll be saving everyone else. I bought my phone on a trip and there are no OnePlus repair centers over here so won't be using my phone until I can restore it myself

Saw you were able to fully extract the payload.bin so could you mirror the files as well..
Issue is now resolved Thanks @Riski3Run and @garylawwd
Alternatively extracting and flashing the payload.bin ALSO works. No need to extract the images just use this beautiful tool

Hi Garylawwd, when I click on the link it displays an empty folder. Can you perhaps reupload the firmware? My device is bricked and I'm unable to find the stock rom and scatter file for CPH2399 :/

Yes I was on the June patch, but I completely messed up my Phone.. can't boot into recovery or fastboot, screen stays black.
When I plug in the phone my computer recognizes it as Mediatek usb port.
When I try to use mtk_gui it is able to connect but it freezes after DA extension and thus I'm unable to read or write anything from or to the device via mtk_gui.
I hope that I can flash the stock firmware via SP flash tool, otherwise I will probably need to send it to OP repairs centre.
But to flash via SP flash tool I do need the firmware + scatter file. ATM I'm unable to find them.
I am unable to create the scatter file via MTKDroid it says --- Unknown ROM structure, backup NOT possible!

If your using the image posted you can use LGUP, if your using LG Bridge it will download the image for you.
You need to be on a stock ROM I believe, I flashed the stock odexed rom. You can try it on a custom ROM though and see what happens.
If you want to use LGUP then you can download the above images.

It just overwrote trwp when I updated.
my upgrade steps were as follows:
backup anything you might need from the internal memory - /sdcard
backup anything you might need with TiBackup (just in case)
boot into TWRP and make a backup of /data
update to 10j via LG Bridge or LGUP (you will be returned to stock after this)
boot up and follow @jcadduono's post on rooting H91810d with recowvery
his detailed guide will leave you in TWRP with a freshly formatted and unencrypted /data
restore backup of /data in TWRP
done. profit.
NOTE: crucial you backup your /data in TWRP prior to updating because after updating your /data partition will be encrypted and you will no longer have root. once your /data partition is encrypted TWRP won't be able to see it. I believe you can still root with an encrypted /data where you'll then be able to use TiBackup to backup your data, but this method would be a slow restore versus restoring via TWRP.
Here's another mirror for those interested. All three files are in a ZIP since Android File Host doesn't play well with uploading KDZ files.

You just need to build the file tree and make a script to tell them where to go, I believe.
Or we could at the least flash a 10j based rom and then install the system img over it. Just need the extracted imgs from the kdz that way.
Um so after updating no more TWRP and still can root bit confused here?

updating and rebooting will revert you back to stock... you'll need to redo the steps for recowvery to install TWRP and root again... you'll also need to backup your device as you'll need to wipe /data to unencrypt

Can I just take the OTA to 10j and wont cause any bootloops? then just re-root?
Is this 10j rootable as 10i? Someone did it?
Has anyone got H91810j rooted? Yes? Link me to a source with walkthrough.

Yes its possible to root the 10J patch. You need to do the commands manually.
I've ran the commands manually and I get confused about the .xml copy being put into local_manifests. I made the directory in my C: drive but Its a windows not linux computer I have access to. Does that matter?
So I get to the manual inputting part, right... And prompt says can not find file

Just wanted to thank you, because you're a lifesaver. I bricked my phone (unfixable TWRP loop), and I tried downloading the KDZ several times from LG-firmwares, but it was extremely slow and always ended up failing. Then I found your Drive link, and approximately 9 hours after bricking the damn thing, I was finally able to fix it. Learned my lesson, too. I'll never again mess around with a new phone BEFORE acquiring any and all recovery tools, especially from a new manufacturer (I'm used to HTC).

Hi guys, in need of your help. I was originally on H91810D rooted and decided to try and install the OTA update not knowing that I would get stuck in a TWRP loop. I've downloaded H91810j KDZ file along with both LGUP and LG Bridge to try and flash the KDZ onto my phone, but neither UP or Bridge detects my phone connected to the PC, but Windows 10 detects that my phone is connected. I'm stuck sitting in TWRP and no matter what I try, it won't work. Any suggestions on what I can do to get through this? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
I want to install the Magisk but not achieved yet because of TWRP is not available and the stock boot.img not found.
Now OTA is coming(1.02.709.7), so I tried to obtain boot.img from the OTA image by the following steps but didn't succeeded.
Download the OTA image by checking the system update on the device.
The image will be stored on /sdcard/Download/OTA_1.01.709.1-1.02.709.7.zip
Copy the OTA image to PC and extract the file "payload.bin".
Use the payload dumper(Thanks to vm03), dump the boot partition from payload.bin but failed with the following error.
Processing boot partition.Unsupported type = 9
* Type of 9 is IMGDIFF according to what I found (no further info).
* I modified "payload_dumper.py" to dump only the boot partition.
Could someone please share the stock boot.img or TWRP for this device?
or tell me another way to achieve this.
Thanks.
I'm looking for it, too. :crying:
Did you get the 1.03.709.1 version boot.img file?
I don't think OTAs contain the whole boot.img, only the binary diff of the new version.
so far nobody has found a boot.img ? the device is around for some months now...
Is there still nothing? Not even a boot.img?
I will post my stock boot.img, recovery.img, and SW version # once I get to my computer.
Should be able to extract it with ADB/commands.
I'm not able to get anything using ADB/fastboot and no root method is working for me. I wish I had an OTA file to work with so I could patch the boot.img and try that but OTAs have already been done on this phone.
The only thing I've managed to do is unlock the bootloader.
Here is a copy of the OTA zip I'm running on
https://drive.google.com/file/d/122ky9if8FqTKz0tvqVi_8-FkA-GjHX9A/view?usp=drivesdk
And here is the payload.bin from that OTA
payload.bin
drive.google.com
So far I haven't managed to get the boot.img and I have a long day tomorrow. Maybe you guys can come up with something?
Well I downloaded the automated script version of payload dumper located here:
How to extract payload.bin from OTA update or firmware
In a few rare cases, you may need to extract the payload.bin that is part of firmware and OTA update files from some OEMs to get the stock boot and system images. This helps when you are looking un…
nerdschalk.com
And that payload.bin seems to only contain abl.img. Nothing else which is unfortunate.
like i've written before, the OTA simply does not contain the whole boot.img - only the binary difference from the previous build.
with only the difference it is not possible to reconstruct a whole boot.img
the only options i see is wait for a RUU or the kernel source to be published
Another OTA came through 227MB, extracted and only thing in there is abl.img again.
is this will work

Hi, big thanks for this. I'd rather patch the image myself, using a tutorial like this one – https://www.thecustomdroid.com/root-xiaomi-mi-a2-a2-lite-android-pie-magisk/. Where do you get the stock images?
Is this the right place? https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2 (search for "Mi A2 Lite")
Or this one? https://c.mi.com//miuidownload/detail?device=1700354
Thanks, I figured it out. The newest version can be downloaded at https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2, extract it using `tar xvzf daisy_global_images_V11.0.18.0.QDLMIXM_20210126.0000.00_10.0_286d778cee.tgz` on Linux and the boot.img is located in the images/ directory. Then you can follow the guide at https://www.thecustomdroid.com/root-xiaomi-mi-a2-a2-lite-android-pie-magisk/ to create the patched image and boot from it.

depends how everyone uses to update his phone, but i always use fastboot file with xiaomiflash, it's only 2 clics and avoids me to care about uninstall magisk.
also the original boot.img is inside so just copy it on phone, magisk patch the file and then i fastboot boot the patched
hi! thanks for your work!
I've tried to update my phone, like I always do, restoring 11.0.17 boot stock image first, but I get an update error.
Any suggest?
u can try as i use to do, explained in message above
I tried but Xiaomi Flash doesn't work properly on my PC, I am afraid of losing data on phone.
Why am i unable to update after flashing stock boot image, like I always do??
Anyone having trouble?
Hello, I'm trying to root my phone again. I have my bootloader unlocked and was able to find TWRP-3.5.0-9-0-guacamole (image and installer).
But in every tutorial they say you need to have a boot.img. I tried looking for Oneplus 7 Pro OOS 10.0.11 GM21BA but I can't find anything and I am scared to try it with the wrong files.
Does anyone know where I can find it? Or is it safe to flash Magisk only and not the TWRP recovery because I saw somewhere that that would patch your boot.img and it would be safe.
I would like to keep all the files I have on my phone currently so I am asking before I am going to attempt anything lol.
Here is some info about my phone:
Model: GM1913
Build: Oxygen OS 10.0.11.GM21BA
Android: 10
I am trying to follow this tutorial: https://www.xda-developers.com/unlock-bootloader-root-oneplus-7-pro/
In the written tutorial it doesn't say anything about needing a boot.img but in the video the guy is talking about it.
I also was wondering if I have the correct files so far.
with "payload dumper" it can be extracted from the full OTA update file

Yeah I also saw something like this but I can't find how to find the payload.bin file OR the full OTA update file xD
I found a full OTA when putting my build into Google and then limiting search results to only this month.
Then I used payload_dumper to successfully extract the boot.img and now I can follow the tutorial again.

Hello all, I have found a method for T-Mobile users to easily download boot.img files from your device with MSM Readback Mode so you no longer have to wait for TWRP to work for A12 or can stay on Stock OOS if you only want root. I will also include a pre-patched boot.img for those who just want to flash and not go through the whole process, as well as an unpatched boot.img for c.19 if you want to patch it yourself.
Open the MSMDownloadTool for the T-Mobile version.
Login with "other" per usual.
Press F8 to open the Readback Menu select whichever partitions you want to copy. (if you want to backup whole system or just "boot").
In the password field the password is "oneplus".
The copied partitions will go to the root of your "C" drive.
Your all done now. Just patch the image and reboot.

Yeah last week I pulled my modem and persist via this method, but I wasn't sure if those partitions were valid files or not since all the comments I've seen they mention needing to use Partition Manager via root. Either way, no one responded and I received my unlock toke, so I ended up just rooting and using Partition Manager

Try to say Software Version LE2117_11_C23. But now is LE2117_11_24.
I being reading about OnePlus 9 5G lot. But no one can explain in detail how to root it without risk. I understand a little when you say extract boot.img. But I need to see how you do that with MSM tool. Last time I follow this method I got lost because the MSM tool have already a frimware to flash and install. I can't use that boot.img version. For what I understand, I need to get same boot.img version my phone have. Am looking for LE2117_11_24 (software version) Of Android 12, but I can't find it anywhere. I can downgrade to Android 11 but I need a good guide or video that explain everything. I have windows 11 with MSM tool for OnePlus 9 5G. Qualcomm driver installed, USB driver, and Adb. My phone can be detected with Adb and fastboot, but when I put the phone on Edl mode, MSM tool do not find the phone. Edl only last for 10 sec and reboot. I check divice manager on windows 11 and Qualcomm driver is working. Any Idea or help will be good me. I just don't want to brick the phone. Thanks for answering my question.

What I've just learned over the past 2 days, with MSM and such:
Yes, EDL mode will only be active for about 10 seconds with the MSM Tool, so you must be prepared to hit the "Start" button as soon as you see the connection is Active;
When talking about extracting the "boot.img" , it is discussed in this Post:
