[GUIDE] How to install ColorOs with OTA update

Hi everyone, just in case someone wanna try ColorOs (default OS for chinese OnePlus one).
There's some zip files flashable with twrp but, after that, you can't use OTA update and have to manually download the upgrade and flash it.
For me is annoying so I've flashed the rom, with gapps without installing a recovery.
First download ColorOs from here:
https://mega.co.nz/#!BkpwyYSB!rkYSkFI28vFGuhtsIli-vyDdsb4ZZp1-MX1cLLtaiRo
Download Gapps from cyano (select the 10.2):
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
Download Twrp (we will use it but we will not install it)
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/231
Remember, this process will wipe everything on your phone, so MAKE A BACKUP!!
Extract color.zip and boot the phone in fastboot mode (volume up + power), connect it to you computer.
Important if you have a 16gb phone, the second command is
Code:
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata_64g.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash dbi sdi.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash LOGO logo.bin
fastboot reboot
After that, fastboot reboot will reboot your phone. You have to wait a bit the first time. Now, select english (ColorOs support only chinese and english). go to system > update a make the system update (I had to do two consecutive updates), don't worry, it's really slow.
Now, the phone is up to date but has no Google app and, the ColorOs recovery isn't able to flash them so, connect the phone and copy the gapps into the phone, after that reboot it in fastboot mode (volume up + power).
Code:
fastboot boot <twrp_image.img>
This will boot temporary the twrp recovery, go to install zip from sd card and flash the gapps, after that, you can reboot the phone and enjoy ColorOs with google apps.
Hope this could help.
EDIT:
If someone want to root it, have to install (using TWRP) this

Could I go back to a other ROM like mahdi ROM whenever I want by just flashing a back up? And is this color OS 2.0.11 or 1.2?

Yes, you obviously can but, if you use this method, first you have to flash twrp or another recovery.
You can backup the phone, save the backup folder to your pc.
If you want to rollback, copy the folder that you have saved into your pc, flash twrp and restore everything.
I used this method becouse, in this way you have ota updates with no problems.
And this method, after the system update, will give you 2.0.11

MultiRom?

I tried colorOS version 2.0.11 using multirom but it doesn't boot up.
MIUI boots and works flawlessly on multirom.

Miui works fine to me to. ColorOS faild on install.

Following this guide?
ColorOs has a lot of problems with twrp flashable zips.
I preferred to share a guide that uses fastboot. I've tried all of this command and, now I'm testing ColorOs, no issues at all.
ColorOs is a really good rom, smooth, nice with battery, full of functionality and, the best camera, other rom seems to use different hardware.
The rom is really too similar to Ios and I don't like ios clones but, I think that it's a rom that deserves a try.

finished. total time: 0.003s
EDIT: just updated my fastboot. SEEMS to be ok now
SUCCESS! thanks ! really like it. although I wish it had the 50MP photo option, someone on the oneplus forum said it did :S

By the way. is their a method to root color OS?

@AndroidInsanity
How did you solved the problem with fastboot dimension exceed?
I had the same problem with cyano 11s and Fedora.
I've edited the first post with a link that root the rom.
I've not tried to root the rom.

Can someone extract the modem image from this please? It won't complete download for me.

Hello Bro, from your understanding, will there be any problem on the 3G and 4G network after flashing to Color? Thanks

Grab the latest android SDK and download platform tools from it then replace your current fastboot.exe with the one in the latest SDK.

Anyone having issues with GPS lock for the stock weather app? When I try to get my location it stays at searching forever then eventually tells me it can't find my location, yet when I use the Chronic widget it finds my location easily.
Any patches to apply for the Colors weather? Would love to use it and some of the awesome animated lockscreens as well.

Updating Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL by TWRP : some errors and difficulties

From the first time i was not able to upgrade my phone to another new version of Android.
The phone was bought on chinese store with Android version : WW V10.40.47.107 (Android MM)
When i checked availability of new versions, phone showed me no result available.
Then following instructions i unlocked bootloader and then install TWRP as recovery system.
I tried to install updates of ROM downloaded from Asus website using this methods with this results :
installing by TWRP with ROM transfered to internal memory of phone KO
installing by "ADB sideload" command KO
I partially resolved after many attempts updating only to Version V11.41.87.2 (Android MM)
I solved in this way :
i used TWRP installing from file transfered directly in microSD
i extracted from zipped file "updater-script" file that is possible to find in the following folder path :
META-INF > com > google > android
and then deleted this rows :
(!less_than_int(1494697617, getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))) || abort("Can't install this package (2017年 05月 14日 星期日 01:46:57 CST) over newer build (" + getprop("ro.build.date") + ").");
.....
getprop("ro.build.asus.sku") == "WW" || abort("Please use the right SKU for updating...");
.....
and then save file extracted and compress into zip file.
During TWRP install process i got some error updates, it seems connected to System folder/partition update
but at the end i was able to update Android to my phone
I tried to do the same method with an other update Version V20.32.67.25 i got a corrupted System folder/partition
It seems essential to update this phone to use original recovery system. Can anyone give it to me?
Or is there someone who has been able to install updates using TWRP without any error ?
Also after installation I wiped the Boot, System, Data, Cache partitions and then I restored from Nandroid backup done by TWRP.
But the phone did not start at the reboot.
I then had to reinstall the update with the method described above to get the working phone back
Why did Nandroid backup with TWRP not correctly restore the phone?
Many thanks to anyone can help me

There is a link to a rom in this post. In that zip you will find recovery.img. Flash it with adb, like you flashed twrp.
Then you can flash the last M official rom, and subsequently the first and last N roms.
That's the way I did it. I had to end up wiping data, to make it work correctly.
I'm also looking for a Nougat recovery.img.
I wouldn't like to go thru all the process again if there is another update.
Good luck.

i think you need flash full firmware bro ,
1. Download newer version firmware
2. You need Convert system.New.DAT to system.img
3. Move system.img and boot.img to minimal adb & fastboot folder
4. Open minimal adb & fastboot
5. Flash boot.img and system.img

Just to let you know I did this then downloaded each update from Asus website. You have to do it in order ie newest MM to oldest N to newest N. Takes a lot of time but it works. I now have N on my phone.
Thanks everyone for all your help.

After 11 hours trying out finally solved!!!
I originally just wanted to do a factory reset, and swiped then not only data/cache, but unfortunally - because of lack of expirience - also system partition. After that all the problems occured like described above and partitionally in https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/help/unbricking-zenfone-3-ze552kl-dm-verity-t3563970 (there was no OS anymore, twrp warned me this every time I wanted to power off, but I couldn't install the firmware again through fastboot neither through twrp -> install zip; have got error 7 or 6).
Afer a lot of fears and hours of trying aroud possibilities above as well as ideas from articles here:

I have finally founded a solution!!! This is in FIRSTLY restoring original recovery and just then flashing the stock ROM. Here the steps to do for it:
a.) Download original stock rom (raw-version!) from https://cloud.mail.ru/public/HuMJ/wEybSNsQA (raw is to flash through AFT - asus flash tool) or from any other source you can find online; official name seems to be "WW-ZE553KL-20.31.49.2-MR2-user-20170620235128-release_raw.zip"
b.) Exctract and move recovery.img to your adb-folder on PC
c.) Boot your phone into fastboot/boot mode, connect to PC through USB-Cable
d.) Run cmd in adb folder, then type in the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
e.) Reboot and choose recovery mode - now you have no twrp anymore, but the original recovery menue
f.) Install update, which means, original stock from your sd-card.
Be happy!
It would be nice if you could give me feedback, whether my solution was helpful for you, because it took time to write it and hope it will usefull

Please help me .......:crying:

Yes, I did it with my Zenfone 3 Zoom (ze553kl). So, you have firstly to flash the original recovery - to find, as described, in the raw stock rom zip archive. Or, you can find all original recovery's also here: (not tested by myself) https://mega.nz/#F!p90wgAaY!l1JbJilmAUEKTKWu43pT9w
Copy recovery.img to adb-folder, then flash it in fastboot mode in the cmd with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Also copy the original stock rom with Android N to your sd-card and put it into your phone.
Then reboot your phone into recovery - now you have no twrp anymore, but original recovery. Install now the zip with Android-N-stock-firmware from sd-card. Enjoy!

Boss ,
Thank you very much ...... Your solution absolutely excellent and work very well . I am very happy for your support . But unfortunately I found new problem on my phone ...... After update nougat a white line found on the display......
How can I solved it .......
Waiting for solution.......
Thanks again for your support ........

Glad to hear, that it worked for you as well. About white line I have no idea, but on other pages I have already seen somewhere, that other users also reported about this problem. Try to look at google "ze553kl update white line". You can also search a solution for ze552kl instead of ze553kl, because, as far as I know, the ze552kl (ZenFone 3, without "Zoom") is almost the same device, just with a little worse cam. Therefore, it seems to be longer on the market and to have more users, so there are also more solutions for problems which can occure to this device in the internet. Wish you a good luck!

Very helpful, thanks!
I must've messed something up when I flashed TWRP.
TWRP ran fine, but when I tried to start it up, it stayed stuck at the Android logo.
Then errors popped up when I tried to install the stock rom through TWRP.
I never would've thought or had the guts to restore stock recovery first.
This should get its own thread.
Edit: I think my mistake was unchecking "Mount system partition read-only."

After many days i finally found enough time to try to use your tips.
I tried to convert system.New.DAT to system.img but without success using this program Autotool 3.0
http://www.droidviews.com/convert-and-extract-system-img-and-system-new-dat-files-on-windows/
After this attempt i used a ROM provided by chinese store to flash its content :
system.img
boot.img
recovery.img
Original recovery.img is essential to install other updates.
After that i tried to install other updates recognized directly starting by phone but always without success.
So i have had to install updates using original recovery tool.
Now i got Android 7.1.1 last version installed on my phone but it's impossible to use
TWRP recovery tool.
Obviously it's possible to install TWRP instead of original recovery tool and also possible to make a nandroid backup
but it's impossible to use it to install original ROMs released from Asus and it's not possible
to use to restore nandroid backups.
Is it eventually possible to use a custom ROM ? If it's, which one and possibly compatible with TWRP ?

i solved issue of update, but TWRP ?

After many days I finally found enough time to try to update my Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom to Android Nougat.
To solve the issue, I used an original Rom from the Chinese store because it contains useful files for purpose without any conversion:
boot.img
system.img
recovery.img
I flashed all 3 IMG files.
Recovery.img that it's necessary to get original recovery without which any update can be done.
You must use a microSD and the original recovery tool to be able to upgrade your system.
The problem is that it does not seem possible to use TWRP. It is possible to install it in place of the original recovery and you can do also a nandroid backup but in practice you can not use it to install any updates and restore any nandroid backups.
Is there a custom rom that you can use instead of the original one?

If u are sure that u haven't touched the system partition then u can try to update via OTA. Make sure u flashed and not only booted the downloaded boot.img from V9.6.4.0 ROM. I guess it's better to download the latest version from here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1dw87qgRNGxfj7UZduHK91LE6X1Xs7CWL
Then do a clean flash and install the entire ROM with fastboot.

"'*"*"
I've done flashing while on the way and I'm waiting. My cellphone suddenly turns on and it looks like it's doing a factory format. and I just updated it to August. all my data is lost even though the user data has been secured and the flashing process has not finished

[Guide] How to ROOT OnePlus8T (CN/IN/EU/International) KB2000,KB2001,KB2003,KB2005

DISCLAIMER​
I have only tested this on my OnePlus8T Indian model - KB2001
Huge thanks to @topjohnwu for his magic.
YOU NEED TO UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER!
In case you brick your device, use this unbrick guide
If you get into a boot-loop by flashing problematic magisk modules, consider using the patched recoveries from my post HERE to remove the modules.
Manual ROOT procedure​Skip to step #6 and then #10 if you do not want to use the payload dumper tool and want to directly patch and flash the stock images for your variant and Build version!
If you haven't updated OxygenOS yet, download it via the system updater. It will be stored in /sdcard/.Ota folder in your internal storage ( /sdcard/.Ota/OnePlus8TOxygen_15.I.16_OTA_0160_all_2010150110_84be0c.zip )
The size should be >2GB. If it is not, it's probably an incremental OTA, not a full one. This guide will NOT work on incremental OTA Zips.
DO NOT Reboot or else you will lose the file
Copy the ZIP file over to your PC
Download the Payload Dumper
Alt dumper for windows only:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850510260
1.Put payload.bin to "payload_input" folder
2.Run payload_dumper.exe
3.Successfully extracted img files are in "payload_output" folder
Extract the zip in the folder where you downloaded the payload dumper.
Follow the instructions in the readme of payload dumper, and extract the OTA images:
Code:
python payload_dumper.py payload.bin
You will get a boot.img file in the output folder.
Proceed with installing the OxygenOS update and reboot the phone.
Download and install the latest magisk canary release to your phone : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/canary/app-debug.apk
Copy over the boot.img file created by payload_dumper to your internal storage
Open Magisk Manager > Select Install > "Select and patch a file"
Browse and select the boot.img file.
Magisk will create a patched boot.img file in /sdcard/Downloads/magisk_patched.img . Copy this file over to your PC.​
Reboot to fastboot mode
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Either flash the patched magisk_patched.img in the active slot or temporarily boot into it if you are skeptical.
I recommend to BOOT first and then perform a direct install via magisk as it is more reliable to patch the active slot.
To flash:
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
To Temporarily boot into a rooted system (RECOMMENDED!!):
Code:
fastboot boot magisk_patched.img
If you used the fastboot BOOT method, next you'll have to open magisk manager again, and this time, perform a "Direct Install".
This will install magisk on the active boot slot and the next reboot will give you root.
How to update OTA and KEEP ROOT
It is advised to disable all magisk modules to be safe!
epr said:
- Go to System-Update
- Tap OK when the message that you are rooted appears
- Tap "Download and install"
- Wait until you are prompted to reboot - DO NOT REBOOT NOW!
- Open Magisk Manager, select install -> Install to inactive slot and start installation
- When Magisk has finished to install, reboot and you stay rooted with newest OTA.

It's also a good practice to backup a few important partitions once you're rooted.
I used ADB shell, but you can use any terminal emulator from the play store (Termux)
adb shell

Recovering lost app data after a failed boot:
Download and flash one of my adb-patched recoveries from my post here
Reboot to recovery, enter the password, open adb shell
Create a tar bundle of the app via tar -czvf MiXBackup.tgz data/data/com.mixplorer/silver and adb pull it to your system
*Or* the entire /data partition via tar --exclude /data/media/0 -czvf /data/media/0/data.tgz data/ (You CANNOT restore all of /data like this due to encryption stuff! but you can extract one app at a time and test)
Reinstall the app , reboot to recovery, adb push, and extract via tar xf MiXBackup.tar

Yep, the procedure will stay the same. I would recommend waiting for someone to upload the OOS OTA zip or Oneplus to provide a direct download link.
However, if you are on the same build version, you try to patch the KB2001 boot.img and just use the fastboot boot method instead of flashing the patched image.
If it boots, you're in luck. If it doesn't, force reboot back into stock OOS.

Would be nice if someone can do this with the european version too. Maybe I can do it tomorrow but only if the dumper tool works on windows. Any idea on that?

Yes it should work. All you need is to have python and the dependencies installed. It's listed in the readme of the dumper.

After rooting and making the safetynet pass, does the widevine remains L1 like OP8 and OP8Pro? Or it becomes L3 like older OP devices?

I captured the OTA yesterday. But I'm having a hard time getting the payload extracted.
Here is the link to the OTA:
https://r5---sn-vgqs7ney.gvt1.com/p.../c552fbf9fb85a74c246c1265a2f10b2382015e82.zip
If I understand correctly, we need to use python payload_dumber.py --diff payload.bin
But we don't have the original boot.img?
