How To Guide [FASTBOOT] [ROM] [PC REQUIRED] [OP9] Stock OOS 11.2.2.2AA

[MauroG]

Hello. I have this kinda-common-for-OP9-but-not-able-to-be-solved issue in which my Laptop/dev manager reaches the phone with the Qualcom HS-USB QDlLoader 9008 but after around 20 seconds it disconnects and connects again.

Before this, I was able to get to bootloader and then tried flashing the Fastboot rom from the forum but my phone just got a black screen and then this just started to happen.

Can't flash with MSM tool because I get the param error after 6~ seconds.

My model is de OP9 2113 12/256. I just got the phone two days ago and updated via OTA to latest firmware before trying to customize anything because I just wanted to have google photos with unlimited storage.

Any suggestion? What should I do now? Reach to Customer Support and hope/wait for a repair or is there anything else I could do? Like flashing any image or anything else?

If it's saying "device not match image," you need to flash the Indian 9 Pro MSM Tool - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=2188818919693804748

Then you use the OOS11 EU downgrade package in the pinned post to go back to OOS11 EU. The problem with doing it this way though is that OOS12 (and possibly 13 as well when it comes) will still recognize your device as an Indian 9 Pro and the touchscreen won't work. I modded the global MSM Tool to flash Indian variant phones and there is no issue with running global firmware on an EU device so if you want to go this route, skip the downgrade package and use 11.2.4.4 here.

What do you mean with the touchscreen won't work? The touchscreen won't be usable or something?

Will try this after a while! Thank you so much btw!!!

Touchscreen won't be usable if you don't restore with an MSM Tool and then upgrade to OOS12. OOS11 and custom ROMs work fine but something about OOS12 just breaks things. Using MSM Tool reverts whatever changes are being done by the 9 Pro MSM which is why I made the mod.

So far, flashing the Indian IMG worked!! Thanks

Now I have this charging screen in sort of a bootloop hahaha. I should try leaving it for a while charging. Is this an expected behaviour?

You need to flash your phone to another image ASAP, the 9 Pro is not the same device as the 9, unexpected issues can occur and are not worth troubleshooting. That's why I dropped the link to the global 11.2.4.4 MSM as well since it's actually made for the device and has no consequences running on an EU unit.

Hey, how should I go back to 11.2.4.4 MSM? I mean, I tried with EDL but I get the Param error. So I'm still in the OP9P fw.

Did you follow the instructions? Check Sha256, uncheck lite firehose, selected India in the target drop-down box? Play with different combos of options. The MSM works, you just have to find the right combination to get past the "device not match image" message. I have used that MSM twice myself and someone else used it last night so it does work.

Ah crap, I linked you to the wrong thread.

[Locked] Global 11.2.10.10 MSM Tool (added experimental support for Indian variant flashing as well)

This method is outdated. You must use this method or you will run into problems...

forum.xda-developers.com

Download the modded 11.2.4.4 from there and follow those instructions I just gave you.

Man, you just saved me. I just got it booting into OP9 Global FW thanks to you!! Thanks . 5 stars for good customer service for you.

Now I gotta search deeper to see if I can manage to flash custom rom without breaking things again. It didn't work by unlocking BL, flashing patched img (these two did) but then it all messed up by trying to get TWRP

Awesome, glad that it worked for you! Can you leave a comment in the thread I posted that it worked for you and what combination you had to use so others can see it too?

As for the custom ROM, don't use TWRP, use the recovery image the ROM dev posts. TWRP doesn't work right. It won't even boot on my phone anymore, even on 11.2.10.10 it drops me back to fastboot.

Also make sure you're on 11.2.10.10 on both slots (download the OTA and flash it with the local upgrade tool, when it reboots, flash it again).

OOOOH shoos that might be why I just *uck*d my phone!!!

Of course I'll leave a reply on the post. Thanks a lot!

I'm interested in flashing Evolution X since my Poco X3 has that same rom and it's great, but this new method is kinda new to me. Do you think the instructions in the first post would work? You don't have to answer if you don't wanna btw.

The instructions are:

First Time Install / Clean Flash
1. Be on the latest OOS 11!!
2. Download ROM.zip (link in post #2) & boot.img (link in post #2)
3. fastboot flash boot boot.img
4. fastboot reboot recovery
5. adb sideload BUILD.zip
6. Format data
7. Reboot to system & #KeepEvolving

But when I download the file its just a file like an OTA without any boot.img, just a payload.bin... Should I dump the payload.bin and flash by FB?

Should I update to A12 or leave the FW of the MSM that saved the phone?

That OP is a mess...

Here are the files you need.

ROM zip - https://sourceforge.net/projects/ev...p2a.220505.002-05111100-unsigned.zip/download
Boot image - https://sourceforge.net/projects/evolution-x/files/lemonade/bootimage/stock_boot.img/download

Make sure you flash 11.2.10.10 and then flash it again to get it on both slots. Once that's done, follow the instructions.

You must be on 11.2.10.10 to flash custom ROMs. Only Lineage 19.1 works on OOS12 firmware (it actually requires it).

Thanks a lot! Might give it a try

I was just told that there will be some vendor updates maybe this weekend and A12 FW will be needed so I kinda should wait.

Imma try to search for a workaround about the GPhotos for now.

Thank you again btw!

Hey man, you're welcome!

Honestly I got fed up with how easy it is to brick this device and just rooted 11.2.10.10, flashed the TPD/OPPerf fix, Shamiko, Google Dialer Mod APK to get call screening + call recording, and Universal SafetyNet Fix and I'm much happier with the phone than I was with any of the custom ROMs. They all have various issues that were more annoying to me than the stock software and trying Lineage 19.1 resulted in me having to MSM twice (once trying to leave it to go to StagOS, another when trying to flash it coming from another ROM, this was before the base requirement switched to A12 too) and I just got sick of having to MSM. I plan to stick with OOS11 until A13 drops.

Yeah! I am surprised as well. I've been using Android since 2011 and been using custom roms ever since from day 0 with any of my 7 phones and also my GF's and this is the first time I really messed it up big time with any of my devices. I would have send it to repair if it wasnt for you tbh.

As of now I love the OS and how fast it is and also wanna stick with it for a while without changing roms. All this was because I wanted to get unlimited Google Photos and I almost break the thing hahaha

There is a Magisk module for that (and so much more) - https://github.com/Kingsman44/Pixelify

If you check my signature, I've been at this since 2009 with the HTC Hero and never bricked either. I think I have bricked unintentionally (MSM mod testing required me to intentionally screw with my device too so I don't count those) 4 times since I got this device in February. It's ridiculous but at least we have the MSM. Those who bought the 10 Pro don't have it yet so when they brick theirs, it's off to OnePlus. This was my first OP and it will unfortunately be my last because of all these issues and OP's slow update cycle.

I was just thinking of using my poco x3 as a jump box but i'm gonna give that a try, thanks again.

I've bricked or softbricked every phone i've had since a LG gt540 up to this Poco x3 NFC but always managed to get them working by just looking into XDA or some threads until now with this OP9 which is also my first. My GF had OP One and it worked like charm even on custom roms so as of now this is the first time I got beaten hahaha
