OTA 3 zip was corrupt, it has been replaced.

Also for helping out anyone who gets their Sirocco unlocked, this is a pre-rooted boot image for A1N-310B-0-00WW-B03-OST604

You can use this to do fastboot boot patched_boot.img and then use Magisk to root your device.

You can, of course, do the above yourself if you have a second phone that is rooted and go into Magisk and patch one of the stock file boot images above.

Now you can do OTAs and keep root

STEPS_TO_UPDATE:
1. Go into Magisk Manager -> Uninstall -> Restore Images
2. Apply Update, DO NOT REBOOT YET
3. When step to finished and it promts you to reboot go into Magisk Manager -> Install -> Install to inactive Slot

Congratulations you can now reboot and will have an updated Android while keeping full root.

December patched boot for anyone who's had this phone unlocked and has done OTAs up to December without rooting

As always, fastboot boot this image to root your phone with Magisk direct install. Do not flash my boot images, otherwise, you won't be able to do the OTA trick above with Magisk.

Removed: Oreo homebrew packages by Hikari are buggy, avoid.

So i found this...

https://mega.nz/#F!W50gzawY!nC8Yb9yE6n08gGafFi700A

The A1N-4120 is a Pie build. A guy i met on twitter installed it and said it is a decent build without bugs. I'm a bit hesitant to install it. I'm afraid that if i install it and the offical update comes out i can't update via OTA. Is there a way to revert back to 8.1?

The guy's phone isn't rooted or unlocked.

Still, he says it's the official build from HMD. They are holding it back... If that's true it's kinda sad...

It's the internal OTA and he wasn't sensible installing it without BL unlock

These internal builds don't pass safetynet so Google Pay will not work. It is also unknown how to get back onto retail OTAs without an unlocked bootloader. When HMD did the Nokia 8 beta test they had an official rollback method.

I'd strongly advise staying away from this if you haven't unlocked the BL. The build wasn't all that good either, missing adaptive battery, pro camera, Pie themeing and more. From above two new OTAs exist since the December pie build. I'll try them and see if anything has been added.

Thanx for the reply! Gonna stay away from it then... Usually i try everything, but since the BL is still officially locked there aren't that many people out there that can help when things go wrong. Especially with this being my daily phone, i don't want to mess it up.

Yeah, it's not worth it, Pie should drop this month.

With the Nokia 8, HMD advised if you stayed on the beta you'd get 1 OTA and that would be it. You basically had to rollback.

In order for us to flash firmware packages, we need an unlocked bootloader if HMD isn't providing an official rollback method. As it seems we won't get an official beta test for the Sirocco it's a bad idea anyone with a locked bootloader flashing these internal releases.

That was my guess to. Thanx for the info.

You are wrong. And I am the guy he met on twitter. And btw he is referring to Nokia 8 Sirocco and sorry but could you explain how you termed as insensible. I downloaded the internal OTA and then rebooted the phone in safe mode and the update automatically installed. For your information
1. Adaptive battery is there
2. Wellbeing is there
3. Pro camera is there.

So stop being judgemental. Nokia 8 and Nokia 8 Sirocco and two different handsets. Nokia 8 is what you mentioned above . So next time mind Ur tongue while u talk

My advice was just following what Nokia devs like Calyx Hikari state. If you do not have an unlocked bootloader its best not to install internal OTAs because there is no way to revert to retail FW. The Nokia 8 had an official beta test so there was a way to rollback off of the beta Pie firmware to Oreo again, to then install the final Pie OTA.

Otherwise you need an unlocked bootloader to flash an Oreo/Pie retail package with LA OST.

I don't mean to offend anyone, I just don't want anyone installing these leaked OTAs on their bootloader locked device and being stuck.

Currently, there's no way to roll back to Android 8.1 for Nokia 8 Sirocco by yourself, so use these packages at your own risk.

It will be better if you're using prototype device or a retail device with unlocked bootloader.

Nokia 8 Sirocco doesn't need any bootloader to be unlocked.

Nokia 8 Sirocco doesn't need bootloader to be unlocked. Like I got it and others who installed got it without doing the same. You just have to downloaded the A1N 4200 file and reboot the phone to safe mode and the phone automatically detects the update. So I assume that's pretty much official and valid .

Don't know why people end up spreading rumours without knowing the real picture. Just because one device works in a specfic way doesn't mean every device functions the same way.

Plus Nokia 8 Sirrocco gets all the features a full fledged android one device gets including the below
1. Adaptive Battery
2. Gestures
3. Digital Wellbeing

I myself wanted to write a review and a video but never written one for mobile devices, I have done for vehicles.

And most importantly Nokia 8 and Nokia 8 Sirocco are different mobiles . The only common point is The processor.

Pie OTA Rom

Now that the official PIE OTA has been released can anyone capture it and post a link to the file? It can take weeks to reach people over the air sometimes!

Thanks

marccoppers · Jan 9, 2019

Let's say they will be captured, can i install them with a locked bootloader?

I did on the Nokia 8 and the Nokia 7 plus by downloading to the device, renaming the file and using the phone keypad ( *#*#874#*#*) so I assume it will be the same on the Sirocco?

Sideloading the OTA via ADB can be done on a locked bootloader. The method by EGGMEN should work as well. :good:
