Hello everybody! They brought me the OnePlus Nord 2 with the problem that it can't flash. According to the man, he first set himself Arrow 12.1 via TWRP and everything worked fine. Then he decided to install PixelOS via fastboot. First, he cleared the memory via Fastboot and after that, when he started flashing, his phone restarted at 40 percent. And now the smartphone is trying to start a system that does not exist and the computer does not see the phone in fastboot mode. What to do? Is there any way to restore the device?
Yes. Use mtkclient to flash the original firmware.

I'd just like to clarify the warranty for the phone if you root etc.

Update : triangleaway now works with the gs3. Look at chainfires thread upon his to do so. As stated its only been tested on XXALE8 Roms . I have personally tested it to work on a XXALE8 ROM . As emphasised it is not a harmless procedure and could potentially brick your device! You've been warned.
Anyway...
Note generally the software warranty is void. Hardware usually remains intact depending on manufacturer or part that failes (e.g. OC CPU to death )
Will root only void it? Y/ N
-yes.
- no, It is possible to remove the counter and flash a stock firmware to remove root. Bear in mind this is difficult and should only be done for warranty purposes.
Will root void insurance? Y / N
No. (Check with your insurer just to be sure)
Will flashing custom recovery e.g. CWM void it? Y / N
Yes. Again revert to stock.
Will flashing a stock custom ROM void it? Y / N
Yes. The counter value will increase but can be removed
Will flashing a different source ROM (CM/Miui) void it? Y / N
Yes. (Same as above)
Will the flash counter be able to be reset? Y / N
Yes . Ceasefire has updated triangleaway to work with out devices.
Can the phone be returned to a factory state for warranty purposes? Y / N
Technically yes. I have not yet done so, but shouldn't be more difficult then removing the counter, CWM and flashing stock firmware (without root! )
Will carriers etc be aware of what you've done? Y / N
No. (Unless you tell them!)
Will you be angry if your phone becomes a useless paperweight? Y / N
You should be.
As the title states, this thread is to clarify on these points as many new users are unaware of the implications of using a custom ROM.
Feel free to write a comprehensive response and I shall include it in the OP.:thumbup:
(This is what I can conclude from memory and I shall try to keep it updated. I also have rooted my own device. The counter only increases in download mode )
root does not void manufacturer's hardware warranty, same for custom ROMs etc.
Oops quite right, it does for the operator though. Will change OP.
Edit :there was a case in the HOX forums where due to the relocked bootloader and custom rom they refused to fix yellow dot screen issue for free. This was going through the supplier though, and not directly to HTC
Why?!
I've decided to make this short tutorial because some days ago I've tried to install a custom recovery on my old device (mini pro, sk17i)
and there were only a very few information how to do it. To save you the everlasting search I summarise my results here for you.
Requirements
- You must be on a stock rom (e.g. 4.1.B.0.587...)
- For method 1: Your phone must be rooted
Installing a custom recovery
1. Method
If you're on a stock firmware, the easiest way is to let the work be done by an app called x-Parts
Install it, run it, switch to "Installs" and let it install cwm (it's regardless of whether your bootloader is locked or not ). Switch to "Tools" and try to reboot into the recovery!
2. Method
Another possibility consists in installing a custom kernel like f.e. nobodyAtall's 2.6 kernel. Custom kernels are usually flashed as a boot.img and have a custom recovery already integrated.
I'd appreciate your feedback or recomendations, also feel free to push the thanks button if this was helpful for you!

I have an old Fire and I want to install a custom ROM on it but I need some help figuring out how to proceed. I've been reading a lot of threads around here (primarily this one, this one, this one, and this one) and I've successfully unlocked the bootloader but I'm hesitant to start flashing things without knowing what's current and correct. I've seen a lot of different approaches and different files and commands in various threads and some of those commands don't work anymore (e.g. any fastboot command with -i flag) and some of the links to files are dead (both goo.im and teamw.in seem to be defunct and pretty much all the links here are broken) and just the sheer volume of information here is a bit overwhelming. I also read somewhere that TWRP v. 2.7 would be better for this device than 2.8 but now it's in version 3.5 I think and I'm not sure if I should still try to find 2.7 or not?
So, I guess the main thing I'm trying to figure out is what versions of FFF and TWRP I should be using and where I can get them. It would also be great if someone could point me to the guide or guides that will be most current and relevant for my device.
Thanks!

I would install latest TWRP:-

Best 2 custom Roms in my opinion are LineageOS 14.1 & Divest OS, both are based on Android 7.1.2
Divest OS i think has bit better battery life and performance but you wont be able to use some apps that require google. LineageOS can have root if you want and install google playstore.
I use DivestOS and installed Aurora Services to go with Aurora Store (great alternative to google playstore, i think this is way better). And i have F-droid. Slight glitch with DivestOS is you cant switch it off via power button and tapping on power off, you have to press down on power button for about 20 seconds so its not an issue really.
The creator of LineageOS 14.1 is apparantly going to continue with it with some updates. DivestOS has monthly updates.
Thanks! I went with LineageOS.

Maybe you are on 11_A21 with June security patch, and the C5 is lower.

For some users / location they rolled 11.3_A21 with June Android security patch. For others ( like me ) directly C.01. I prefer to stay with latest 11.3 for now...
So if I were to install a rom on an hdx,
Would the correct procedure be sideload the rom zip wiping dalvik/cache? Then sideloading gapps zip or whatever for apks?
Or would pushing the rom and gapps to sdcard and installing the 2 zips with twrp be alright?
Am I missing anything important? I read people talk about safestrap but oblivious as to what it is or if it matters.
I tried searching for a guide on the correct way to flash custom rom but didnt find anything.
Is there only 1 rom option these years for hdx? I only found 2 lineage options.
I read of AEX, aospextended, etc. but couldnt find them or links 404d. since those files are absent now I guess they are discontinued or deleted by their creator?
Any advice is appreciated.

Hi, flashing ROMs usually will come device specific instructions. It can depend on the generation of your device. I searched flash custom ROM on HDX and got this. I hope it helps or at least gets the ball rolling for you.

Does seem like theres directions but the directions seem to presume I know enough before hand. Lol
I dont know how to wipe data, it doesnt say much specifically.
Guess I can just go for it and see what happens.
But id rather know exactly so I know my ignorance wont end in a brick or faulty rom install.
I did read ggow say dirty flash was alright. But im not even sure what constitutes dirty flash.
Total green noob here. The only thing im not a noob at is bricking phones by modifying root files. Lol
Thanks for the quick response jonpjingleheimler. Awesome name btw.
Well if I ever figure out the proper way to do this I will write a guide with every possible specific I can muster.

a lot of us started out not knowing a dirty flash from a clean flash. I think if you are serious about installing a custom ROM it would wise to locate the stock ROM for your device first. Most if not all stock roms for amazon tablets are available for download by Amazon. This way you can at least get back to stock usually without much hassle. YouTube is also a great resource for device specific instructions and sometimes a bit easier to follow. just keep that stock rom on hand. If you get into a bootloop or other crappy situation it's usually possible to get into the stock recovery perform a factory reset or use ADB sideload to flash the stock ROM.
Good to know. Thanks for the advice. I will definitely do that.
I look forward to getting to use apps that are from more recent years that actually work alongside website development.
Its rough finding functional apps when relegated to android kitkat.
