Official TWRP for NB1

[yozil]

Anyone have an idea when TWRP would be patched for December Security Patch (Oreo 8.1.0 TA-1012) ? Since we are on Pie now I'm worried that it never release for Oreo...

The problem is that, while I would be happy to do the patching, I have no way of getting a stock boot image from december patch which unfortunately is a requirement.
On the other hand, the best way to get a stock image is to do the process thats required for installing TWRP without a prepatched image (i.e. flashing to inactive slot and then patching active slot from there).

This means someone who has the december patch and an unlocked bootloader would have to do the patching on their own and then post the images here.
I wrote a small tutorial on how this can be done some time ago, you can find it in the subfolder "Tutorials" at https://bit.ly/nokia-nb1

IF someone decides to do this, feel free to send me the images and I will put them into the same cloud folder so people can find them more easily (with proper attribution of course).

Is there a risk to brick my phone if I do that ? And is there a way to backup the original image/firmware of a brick happens ?

No, you can`t. Write the bootloader (it containes recovery) is restricted in locked state.

 

[negrroo]

what can i do to repair the stock recovery..
when i use it to factory reset it said no space left on the device

I think I slot bricked my device...
And I do not understand how it is possible, as the slots shouldn't affect boot or recovery data.
So I had tried this before. I had selected slot b from twrp and it booted into a factory-resetted clean os state.
Now I managed to make my system unbootable with 3c Toolbox "One-Click" option called Kernel Tweak (what an idiot I am)
So after that I had working twrp and fastboot and unbootable (Nokia logo stuck) system partition.
So I decided to reflash system partition but I guess didn't find good image and flashed some crap there. I got it into a bootloop with nokia logo entering/exiting different screen brightness state (dangling dakrer and brighter Nokia logo).
So I decided to try slot B
After that, immediate power off and nothing turns it on. Like no battery (which had over 60%). The Vol-Up+power (10sec) has no effect, the cable doesn't charge neither windows device manager sees any device when I connect it to comp. OST also doesn't and also entering fastboot is not possible.
I am hoping that maybe the device booted to slot B system partition which had something on and now the device might be low power consumption stuck BSOD.. The device has been in that state almost for a month.. Now I am losing hope that I am gonna reach the recovery at some point...
What to do? It doesn't make sense - I did not flash recovery or boot, just system. And entered slot B from twrp - boom... BSOD
I want to get back into twrp. Maybe some way to disconnect battery or maybe I am just supid...

EDIT: I Just had a contact with computer - I saw it at least as a HID-devices there for a moment and the device even vibrated after I plugged in... and I blew it - i lost that contact because I unplugged it. Now its back in the previous state I talked about...
I think I was right - it is back in that low powered (on) state because it got charged when connected to computer.
I guess I have to wait again and all retrys would lead to charging (so it wont turn completely off to get it back to bootloader or somewhere there)
I wish there would be a physical reset button or something...

My goal is to get the device to fastboot mode so I could set slot_a active and get back to the bootloop scenario (at least I can restart it, use twrp, adb and fastboot then)

I was on android 8.1 November patch which I got it from this post.
I unlocked the bootloader successfully. then tried to install TWRP using this method. It did not boot into recovery. Changed the slot. Nothing changed. and when the phone booted again... Oh, man. Pie???
I once had updated it to 9. but flashed to 8.1. Did it remain in my partition B?
no wi-fi or cellular connection of course.
It only shows POWERED BY android trying to get to recovery.

Now what am I supposed to do?
Also everytime the phone boots, there is a caution message to lock the bootloader. Is it normal?

update1: it worked. I donno how, but I think playing with A/B fixed it. I'm stuck at nokia logo after flashing Magisk. Gonna fix that.
update2: It's gone )) Guilty Remnant is coming to get me...

UPDATE3: phone is stuck on powered by... cant shutdown, cant do anything. no fastboot also. Now I'm really in trouble

UPDATE4: Fixed by finding how to turn off phone.

You can shut down by pressing longer all buttens....

My Nokia 8 is rooted now

Hello.
thanks for the post. I managed to get my Nokia 8 rooted and of course I got the twrp as well.
Thank you so much for @THMSP for sharing your wondefull and informative expereince. Thank you so much for @czupyt for shows detailed method from THMSP somewhere in this post.
A brief journey till I got my Nokia 8 rooted is I went through downgrading my Nokia from Pie to Oreo. After that doing the unlock bootloader. Those two are in other post. Right after that, I carefully read THMSP and czupyt post and comment within this thread. Iprepared everything and followed each step carefully. I kinda deal with some problem when trying to do the CMD process like no permision thing and unknown command J. I dont know where do those problems come from. I dont even know how I solved them. Well, I just move my platform tools folder back and fort from local disk c to desktop and I do re-checking my usb debugging permision in my nokia. after that the no permision issue is gone. Then for the unknown command J issue, i think maybe it was my username in my laptop which cause the problem when I hit CMD. so I changed my username and also move my platform tools back and fort those two places again. Maybe it has something to do with renaming the img file or sooo.
Sorry, Im not so good at this thing actually, Forgive me I cannot provide clear information.
Yet, my main goal to write this post is to let people know that by today, The file shared by THMSP is working. the guide from both THMSP and czupyt is also working. Just in case people need soem information from me, Im using Nokia 8 with Oreo and November security patch.

It's stuck on boot screen after using the fastboot boot command

Fyi I can still use fastboot while I'm in this situation and I booted back into the OS. I tried doing this with both versions of the .img file on twrp website and I still got the same result

Anyone that has a working TWRP on Pie 9 Oct update 5.16A? I have stock pie and latest OTA update 00WW_5_16A with stock boot on Slot A, but I don't know how to backup an image of Slot A only Slot B where an older NB1 Twrp OTA update is flashed with Magisk installed also.

Hello, is this the first time you try to flash this phone, is the bootloader (critical) unlocked?
Apart from the fact that there are more recent versions of TWRP recovery than the one that appears in the image and to flash it (as long as the bootloader is unlocked and allows it) the correct command should be something like "fastboot flash recovery twrp-.... There is a lot of information on this forum about it.
