I have install Skrilax CZ bootloader V8 on my tab, but thats all i dont now what i need to do now to install a custom rom, i have put the update file in to the sd kart but it wont install.
I have this option only

Set Boot Secondary kernel Image
Set Debug mode on
Wipe Cache.
So cany anyone tel me what i must do to root and install CWM recovery

Is ther no tutorial from heren to folow!!
Please don't double post it gets confusing -
remember, this is the holiday season and alot of us are having a break and spending time with our long neglected family members, we can't be around here as much as we would like....
Yes there are guides on using fastboot, skrilax's bootloader thread for one...
PLEASE don't flash an update.zip it doesnt work that way, you'll end up stuck again
you should read the first 2 guides linked in my sig..
I too need help exactly on this point
I have not the slightest clue what to do and i do not think this is a duplicated post.
I spent days to come at this point and i don't want to **** things up.
I red your posts dibb_nz and it just gets more confusing
You write in this post :
PLEASE don't flash an update.zip it doesnt work that way, you'll end up stuck again
and then you write here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049778
Have your Custom Rom downloaded and copied to your External SD Card ready to install immediatelyafter flashing skrilax's patched bootloader
So is it too hard for someone to tell what to do here to install a custom rom ?!
P.S. I also got [ ERROR: Invalid primary (LNX) kernel image ] on my screen.

Dear XDA fellows,
This is a copy of my opening post from the Oneplus forums. It got lost amongst the million: "yaay, i got an invite", "look, my OPT is amazing!" threads.
This is a problem I encountered when trying to flash the Oxygen 2.1 through TWRP (well, 2.0.2 full zip + the smaller 2.1 OTA). I believe this is a 2.8.7.0 recompile by ydss.cn (googling maybe a chinese coder)
The phone is encrypted.
Restarting into TWRP recovery (sadly cannot paste external link android hostfile fid=24052804347797409) you're prompted to enter the decryption password (similar to when I'd boot the phone). Regardless of the user input, The following error message is recieved: E: unable to mount storage
I am able to access the phone if I reboot to the system normally.
This is eerily similar to the bug encountered with OPO and TWRP 2.8.6.0 which Dees-Troy kindly crushed and I wonder if this is the same Qualcomm hardware encryption problem just roaring its head again in OPT.
But if this a straight 2.8.7.0 recompile shouldn't this be resolved?
If this is also similar to the aforementioned OPO problem, I think one should still be able to flash OTAs either through ADB sideload or USB OTG (but I haven't tried either yet).
Anyone has similar problems?
As the compile is not offical I hesitate to post this in Github or email team win directly. (I'd love to pretend I can compile TWRP for oneplus2, but the chances of that are as slim as recieving an OPT invite )
I don't think they've added encryption support yet. You can always update via OTG or ADB Sideload in the mean time.
Yes, it is currently disabled in the git tree as you can see here.
Well, after a lot of problems trying to update my android Yoga, because my recent stock N nandroid is just not working, and downgrading to M works, but I get stuck on the installation update screen, I decide to get the latest rom from easyfirmaware that let me fix my tablet, without going from all the updates again.
To return something to all of you in this forum, I want to put that rom public (if it is allowed). I just need someone who want to host it. If anyone is interested, please let me know and I can send you the rar.
Winrar told me that the rar is corrupted, but I could flash all the img files without a problem.
Edit: Aghhh I just find out that this rom is encrypting my tablet at boot, even after a factory reset. Maybe is not a good idea to use it to restore, until someone knows how to avoid the encryption.
Edit2: it turns out that disabling the force encryption while booting is not that hard at all. Just have to edit the boot.img. So, if anyone wants this rom...
Edit3: Oh my... it seems that I cannot apply OTAs nor flash the update zip from recovery, because I modify the boot. Error E3005 android_boot has unexpected content (status 7).
Did you try disabling force-encryption with root? Magisk would be the best option, without modifying the boot image.

I'm doing that right now. I let you know how it goes.
Edit: Well, I could install Magisk without any complication and I have no boot encryption every reboot, nor the tablet is asking for a boot password, but TWRP cannot decrypt any partition, so, no TWRP backups. I don't know if this is because of the TWRP 2.8 bug or because it's not possible to get the master password...

Please upload it to mega, 50GB free storage.
I can also host it, I need this to unbrick my Yoga book
You should use to flash: androiddatahost.com/wp-content/uploads/PhoneFlashToolLite_5.5.2.0.zip

Mega is not working for me. Maybe a restriction in my office. I'll try to upload this weekend at home.
Currently running 10.0.1 with Magisk, and would like to flash the incremental 10.3.0.
Can I do this safely by restoring the boot image from Magisk, flashing the incremental via local, reboot and reflash Magisk via fastboot? Do I need a patched boot img to flash Magisk via fastboot, and is there such a thing for 10.3.0?
Anything I might be overlooking, or is there a safe and better way?
Here are the instructions for Magisk. Truly, incremental upgrade is a no-no.

You can't flash incremental, root and bootloader unlocked mean FULL OTA (1.8 GB file)
Why people like to make it complicated?
Go to the source and read A/B devices section here
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tutorials.md
No you don't need to restore stock boot img! This is only meant for devices that perform a boot integrity check before OTA! This it not the case of OnePlus phones.
Flash OTA local upgrade, don't reboot, go to Magisk manager, 'click' install Magisk and choose 'inactive slot' then reboot! No need to torture yourself with fastboot, gosh.
How many times will it be necessary to repeat basics.
This is written in OOS 10.x x thread in Guide section, third post.
This is the way we do updates since months,, and it will be the same with next OOS update no need to ask

Thanks--read the Magisk tutorial, won't have to ask again.
I asked this time because I couldn't find the FULL, just the Incremental.
Also, I looked through what seemed to be relevant guides per your recommendation, but did not find the one I think you are mentioning--would you please link it here?
It will be helpful to others as well as me.

HAHAHA--I've already forgotten which one you posted. Thank you--I'm posting it in my question also.
For starters, there's no thread for this device and I wasn't sure where to put it.
Secondly, me and a friend have been tinkering around with the Cricket Dream 5G and have successfully unlocked the bootloader and obtained root access. Unlocking the bootloader was the easy part. Anyways we've made a full device backup before rooting. I have a magisk patched boot.img. Just unlock the bootloader, flash the patchedboot.img and install magisk. There you go, you have root
WARNING
DO NOT FLASH A MODIFIED SUPER.IMG IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE You can, however modify your system, like removing or adding apps.
I bricked mine because I flashed a modified super img. It's stuck in preloader. Still learning this dynamic partition scheme, it's weird
Full backup on Google drive currently, gonna be moving to mega=>
https://mega.nz/folder/UARQCD6I#8CSNy43GWo6XjEKk_mlldw
Links below, all links are thru mega
Original boot=> https://mega.nz/file/JBAhHSTQ#Aw-GQQ6-StdNAhLsu0vdonNDXcBo4wXI8xEalQ99X2Y
Original boot is in bin format but magisk recognized it and patched it.
Patched boot.img=> https://mega.nz/file/hEJjlaxI#e2DdzvNkq1421uESaSQR4ZP_-CHvt6I_IDCEpyYDZqA
And an app for the magisk modules, not my work, only sharing=> https://mega.nz/file/VAQR0ARI#IUT42ycW5bbb8xVSDhDthREJzr1GEd5WHW0xZbkE8Ts
Also, relocking the bootloader after flashing the patched boot img, it will say there's no OS installed. It's still there. Just unlock it and it'll boot. Not sure why. I believe it's the secure boot being on
Just send a message on here if links are broken
If enough people are on this maybe we can get a working twrp
Update: twrp available here => https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/development-for-the-cricket-dream-5g.4414603/
If anyone uses gpay, unlocking the bootloader will break it. But I know a workaround if anyone wants it.
@Welkwo is behind the twrp process.
My post is just a guide, really.
Thank God! I have numerous phones but for some reason, I have my main number through a sim card thast's unfortunately tied into this phone.. I have been searching online for the stock firmware for this p;hone for a long time with no conclusive results, so upon my search for it this morning, I came acrfoss your post and I almost craped my pants. Thank God.. noot for the almost crapped pants, but for the efforts of you and your friend.. Thank you so much.
We are also working on a TWRP for the device. We can get it to boot but it doesn't recognize the partitions. I absolutely love the cricket dream 5g
Is it not completely slow as **** to you?! It's nowhere near what my OnePlus 5T , Redmi Note 8 nor Motorola Ace One can do nor did I expect it to be but God damn it's just super slow to me..
By the way should I flash boot_a and boot_b in fastboot because when I did the first time when I booted back up it kept making Google framework stop responding

Nevermind.. I retract m yprevious statement.. I just got root and I'm blown away at the sactual speed of this phone. It's such a night and day fgucking difference betweeen having root and not.
Sorry I've been absent. My work has me drained and I've bricked my dream 5g. I messed with my super partition and it is stuck in preloader.
Also I only flashed the boot for the current slot via fastboot
We need to create a scatter file, not quite sure how. Any help is appreciated
yooo... are you guys just needling the scatter to make a twrp recovery?

Honestly I'm not sure. My friend is behind the twrp process. We got one to boot but it don't recognize the partitions so it won't even boot to the os.
Do you have a scatter file? If so please share and I'll also attach it to the op if I have permission, lol
I've got me a new phone so I'll be experimenting again. Just don't flash a modified super img. I messed mine up when I did

Okay. But the DT in the github is your.
I need access of DT for help and if you or users need help about TWRP improvements. Looking my post about collaborator.....
UPD: I donwloaded your bot_a.bin (I need time for donwload super...img file) and I'm working with that to process informations & simple DT. I prefer collaborator than creating new DT in the github. But if I not receive any answer here so i go create new DT in the github and compiled TWRP file for anyone test.
The question now is: Who is the tester?
UPD1: super_backup_2022-03-10_02-34-47.img from MEGA is not good. 3 times trying donwloading file..... Can you put that as zip file in the GDrive?
UPD2: The super.img file was downloaded.
I need some informations from device. But at this point I'll write in the TWRP Cricket Dream 5G thread. .
If someone can put informations so answer in that thread.
Not sure if I should post here or at the TWRP thread but I think I've fixed the problem with being stuck at preloader after flashing modified super img. I got it to work by flashing the modified super img, locking bootloader and unlocking bootloader.
Can someone else also verify that this works?
Edit: Nvm I've been flashing the wrong super img
UPDATE: TWRP IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR THIS DEVICE.
See this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/twrp-for-cricket-dream-5g.4418963/post-86858605
Kinda new to this, but I have a problem I am hoping someone knows about...I unlocked bootloader then i entered the fastboot flash command ...my phone died, as in shut off, power button does nothing, plugging it in to the computer does nothing, and charging does nothing. Thoughts? I'm assuming its dead? Thnx for listening lol
correction, i entered fastboot reboot fastboot
You know what? IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHIN'! I just got a Cricket Dream 5G for free (promo) and the bloody thing won't read a Micro SD card unless it's formatted to Fat32. Which means the largest card it'll use is a 32gb card. I mean WTH? I've never seen anything like this. If I put in a card formatted to exFat or NTFS it says it's corrupted. A Fat32 card is fine. Anyone else run across this? Just another X-File conspiracy against me.
so...no one knows anything??? anyway to fix this??? i noticed when plugged into computer it makes the connecting noise followed by disconnect noise a few minutes later, and button combos seem to change the timing of said noises but nothing shows up under adb or fastboot devices....help!!!!!
