I am looking for someone who has a Xiaomi Black Shark (SKR-A0) that HAS NEVER ROOTED THEIR PHONE!
OTA is currently fixed for Global (SKR-H0) users, but not yet for CN (SKR-A0) users. I am looking for someone who:
Has a locked/unlocked bootloader
Has NEVER rooted their Black Shark Device
MUST be CN version (SKR-A0)
Thanks!

i messed up. im stuck on fastboot (bootloader) mode. everytime i choose recovery mode or start, it vibrates and restarts 4 or 5 times only upto the S logo, before going back to fastboot mode again.
"fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-blackshark.img" didnt work for me. it just starts my phone normally. so i tried "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-blackshark.img" and got error.
need help pls.
edit: im still reading the whole thread and learning of flashing my bs from skr-a0 to skr-h0. i hope ill succeed from the files and procedures im getting at this link: youtube.com/watch?v=ywC_9Hrpb_I
edit2: was successful in flashing to skr-h0 using flash_all.bat (not brick anymore yay! it gave me the chills really.) sending "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-blackshark.img" command also now loads me to twrp (thank heavens) but i need to system update OTA first before trying to root again. will update soon.
edit3: now enjoying root on android 8.1... found the hard way that twrp-3.2.3-0-blackshark.img is not for android 9 and wont boot to twrp. probably flashed back to 8.1 for like 5 times more or less. hope maurino or someone else will make and release twrp-3.2.3-1-blackshark.img soon. thanks again for this wonderful thread.
btw: i originally wanted skr-a0 but i cant seem to download the link in the youtube video. file is corrupted. is it just me? i tried on 3 different workstations to no avail.

Is pie version stable enough to use now? Im still on 8.1 because ppl said it was rebooting non stop and overheating.
Also is it possible to root android pie? Twrp working?

I haven't had any issues with the pie update. TWRP currently doesn't work, but the source files on GitHub have been updated I believe. TWRP needs to be available for rooting.

Hello,
I have the following phone:
Moto Z
XT1650-03
RETEU
Android 6.0.1 MPL24.246-45
When I got the phone I only unlocked the bootloader en flashed TWRP recovery.
Now the Android 7 OTA update is released. I got the popup for de OTA update but it wasn't able to install the update because of TWRP Recovery.
After that I flashed the recovery with a stock recovery from the stock Android 6.0.1 MPL24.246-17 ROM, found in a Moto Z official/stock ROM forum here on XDA. After that I downloaded the OTA update again on my Moto Z, it starts with installing the update, then it restarts in recovery, it seems work fine when I see the stock recovery screen with installing the update, but after a few minutes I get an "Error!" with the "Android man with open belly" symbol. Luckily the phone stil boots and is working fine.
What's going wrong with the OTA update? Mismatch between the rom (MPL24.246-45) and recovery (MPL24.246-17) version?
My goal is to get stock Android 7 on my Moto Z. Who can tell me what's the best step for me to achieve this? Should I try another recovery to get the OTA update working?
Thank you!
Same happened to me when i tried updating the new 540mb update over Nougat. I think it happened because of the kernel (disabling force encryption), not sure :/

Ok, thank you for your answer. But I did not do anything with encryption... And how did you solve this, are you able to install that update now?
I gave my phone to the service center today and told them that it happened after the OTA update. I have my fingers crossed that they don't find out about the unlocked bootloader before fixing it.

Possible. Flash stock recovery from Rogers firmware which is a -45 subrelease.
Anyway I wouldn't upgrade by OTA...

My plan is the following:
- Reset device to factory defaults
- Download the OTA update to the device, just how it's meant to be
- See if it wil update successfully now
Or what can you recommend me to get to fully stock Nougat? This one:

Or wait and stay on Android 6.0.1 till there is more information/ROM's/updates about this device? I know something about flashing/ROM's (before I had a OnePlus One with Cyanogen) but not as much as you guys do and I don't want to brick my device

Second choice is the (safe...) way to go...
Hey everyone, tomorrow I got notification to install a new update for Global Stable Rom (v8.2.5.0.MCFMIDL). The update is rather small (21M) and with on descriptive change log(only says 'Fixed Bugs') . Is it safe to install MIUI updates on top of my rooted phone with TWRP and exposed installed. I installed all previous updates via fastboot method, but I really don't wanna go through all the trouble for such small incremental update.
If someone has tried it please do share your experience.
Regards.
Has anyone installed this update?
Yeah I did, and you can't install an Ota on a rooted phone,

I can't find download link for it on any miui page. Looks like its only available via OTA, as of now.
http://en.miui.com/thread-606733-1-1.html
It's a Beta Stable version for random users.
Bad choice by Xiaomi to propose to upgrade to guinea pig users in the stable branch.

Tested, works fine. Rom runs smoothly, rooted and debloated.
Battery life increased for a couple of offscreen hours.
Great update, the Phone seems to run even better then before, really impressed so far. Multi-Screen and Always-On are missing, tho, installing them manually won't work either. Guess it wasn't feasible with the A3s hardware limitations.
Yeah i think this german Nougat build is much better than marshmallow,very stable,better battery,fluid animations,very nice.. Tell me your opinions?

Hello and thanks for the ROM. I've ecountered a few issues:
1) MicroSD doesn't load when i turn off the phone, i have to remove it e put it back in again in order to be recognized
2) Apps like Colornote don't stay in memory when the phone is turned off and on again, so many notes saved on the status bar go missing and I have to open the app everytime
3) I can't delete bloatwares like Samsung apps and GApps. I use Link2SD to delete system app but doesn't work with this rom: when I restart the phone the apps are still there.
Hope someone helps me with this.
Hi All,
So after searching all the threads and forums I have created this thread to address this issue and to get possible solutions.
I have a Redmi Note 4 - Snapdragon/Qualcomm variant 4GB/64GB version.
Bootloader Status: Unlocked.
OS Version: MIUI 8, 7.4.20 Developer Version.
So sometime back I tried to upgrade to the latest Version of MIUI9 7.9.15. When the system got updated and rebooted my phone got softbricked. SS below. I was on one of the Custom ROMs AEX and tried updating the firmware of MIUI9 and faced the same issue. However am able to come out of the brick using MiFlash tool am still not sure what's causing the issue.
NOTE: Even after reverting back I see the weird lines on screen unless I flash the previous firmware version again.
Would appreciate your thoughts and inputs. Thanks!
Images: Adding Soon!

Pretty sure firmware is closely associated to Bootloader, Boot and Recovery much more than the ROM itself. Then the Signal reception, radio and stuff. But I may be wrong.
Hello All
I would really appreciate the help on my situation.
I have bought a new motherboard from aliexpress. and it turns out the board is a VS990 with H901 5.1 installed on it.
Its working like a charm now I received the OTA update to android 6 but I am very scared to go ahead with the update as it will most probably brick the phone. Has anyone experienced same situation? Do i go ahead and let it do the OTA update? If not is there anyway I can install Nugget on my (Half / Half) setup ?
I will very much appreciate the help please.

My motherboard also had vs990 printed on it but the "t" link is soldered. So my v10 is a h901, which makes sense since I bought mine from my local T-Mobile store right after release.
If you plan on rooting do not take the ota. It is much easier to root on 5.1 (10c), the fastboot commands are still intact. All updates after 5.1 get more difficult to root. Once rooted there is twrp flashable .zip in the development forum to safely bring you to the latest 7.0 update (30c) and is also a full firmware update.

Did you take apart your phone and verify your soldered link?
Do you have twrp 3.2.1 installed?
All the info you need can be found https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/development
Reading about anything you plan to do will help prevent a brick.
To install twrp

Read all threads I linked, some parts of them are old and have been superseded but will still provide valuable info that should prevent a brick.

That is great.. I will read them all very carefully and I will try to do it tommorrow.
2 points :
First I have already installed TWRP recovery for LG V10 H901 (File: twrp-2.8.7.1-h901.img & SuperSU v2.56 and now i am rooted.
Second I am sure now even without looking at the Link that my board is a H901 else I think the boot loader would have never been simply unlocked. Dont you agree?

SuperSU is abandoned. TWRP 2.8.7.1 can't flash nougat, you'll need to upgrade to the 3.2.1 I linked but will only have to flash the .zip from TWRP. SuperSU will get removed when you flash the system updates so then you should have no problem installing magisk, just do a factory reset in TWRP after you do the updates before magisk to remove and data from SuperSU that my be left.
Your 2nd point is dead on, the h901 is the only US carrier branded v10 that can be bootloader unlocked. True vs990's were locked down tight in true Verizon fashion.

Looking the posts you shared i understand that i cant upgrade 5.1 directly to nugget.. Corrent me if i am wrong. If not then which 6.0 should i flash using rtwp? And can i upgrade instead of wiping over the rooted 5.1? I would love to keep my apps and setting.

That's the point of these twrp flashable updates, to update without wipeing . For the Android 6.0 updates use the part 1 (firmware) and part 2 (system, boot) 20L files in this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/development/rom-v10h901v20estock-customized-t3360240
It is still heavily suggested to wipe when changing major Android versions. Minor updates within the same version don't cause too much trouble, but data structure varies between major version updates. All this being said some people don't have problems with dirty (no wipe) flashes.

I dont understand why this happened . I followed the exact steps .. Downloaded Part 1 L and Part 2 L
Flashed part 1 with TWRP and did not reboot. Then flashed Part 2.. Then rebooted.. Now my phone doesnt even turn on.
This must be a hard brick.. I cant even go into TWRP any more .. and no logo appears.. the phone is detected on PC as QSUSB_BULK

There are a few threads that discuss recovering from bricked 20J software that you could try. (20L is said to be the only software that can downgrade, but only to 20J) Most people had LG do warranty exchange. This is the frustrating part of LG phones, how easy LG made it to brick if you didn't fully read up on what you were doing.

The unbricking thread should have some input on that problem, just search for it.
