This will walk you through **installing a custom rom** on your phone, **updating the firmware** and **installing google apps**. Then **rooting your phone**.
|
|
|
|
This tutorial is intended for a **OnePlus 7 Pro**, executed on a Debian based Linux machine but the same steps can be applied to windows. I'm running Linux Mint.
|
|
|
|
Any custom android rom requires an unlocked bootloader. If your bootloader is not unlocked, find a tutorial on how to do that.
|
|
If this is your first time installing the crDroid, you should factory reset your phone.
|
|
|
|
#### Install Android platform tools
|
|
|
|
Here is a good explanation on android debug bridge (ADB) and other tools -> https://wiki.lineageos.org/adb_fastboot_guide
|
|
Here is a link for platform specific setups.
|
|
https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/#how-to-set-up-adb
|
|
|
|
On Linux you can just use a package manager to install the required tools:
|
|
`sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot`
|
|
|
|
#### Download all required packages
|
|
|
|
Navigate to -> https://crdroid.net/guacamole/9 and Download:
|
|
|
|
- **Latest ROM** click -> "Download latest version" button
|
|
- **Latest Firmware** click -> "Firmware" button and download latest version
|
|
- **Latest Gapps** click -> "Gapps" button -> Latest folder -> Download the Gapps version you need. If you are unsure, just grab "NikGapps-stock-..."
|
|
- **Latest Recovery** -> Recovery -> Download Latest Version. If your recovery is not the crDroid recovery, download it now.
|
|
|
|
#### Testing your tools are set up correctly
|
|
|
|
Open a terminal window and type in `adb --version` make sure it prints out the version and the installed path. Do the same again with `fastboot --version`.
|
|
|
|
Its essential to have both fastboot and adb accessible and set up correctly or the firmware update script won't work correctly.
|
|
|
|
#### Connect to your phone via USB and enable USB debugging
|
|
|
|
- Grab your Phone. Make sure you enable USB Debugging in the developer menu.
|
|
- On your machine run `sudo adb devices`
|
|
- On your phone you should get a prompt, Allow USB Debugging? YES!
|
|
- Your computer should list the connected devices. Now reboot your phone to the bootloader with the command
|
|
- `adb reboot bootloader` your phone will restart to the bootloader.
|
|
|
|
#### Enter fastboot to install crDroid recovery
|
|
|
|
- Plug in your phone and use command `adb reboot fastboot` to boot into fastboot.
|
|
- Flash the crDroid recovery boot.img with command `fastboot flash boot boot.img`
|
|
- Now restart to recovery with command `fastboot reboot recovery`
|
|
- Make sure crDroid recovery installed correctly.
|
|
|
|
#### Enter fastboot to apply firmware update
|
|
|
|
- Inside the bootloader, use the up/down volume buttons until the top says "Recovery Mode" press the lock button to select. The phone will boot into recovery mode.
|
|
- Select "Advanced" -> "Enter Fastboot"
|
|
- Your phone is now ready for the firmware update. On your computer, extract "OP7Pro firmware flash tool.zip" and enter the folder. You will see "Update-firmware.bat" and "Update-firwmare.sh"
|
|
- On windows you can just double click "update-firmware.bat"
|
|
- On Linux run the command `./Update-firmware.sh` then follow the prompts on screen. (Yes to everything)
|
|
- Once the update is complete, on your phone press "Enter Recovery"
|
|
|
|
#### Enter recovery to sideload packages
|
|
|
|
- Inside the bootloader, use the up/down volume buttons until the top says "Recovery Mode" press the lock button to select. The phone will boot into recovery mode.
|
|
- Select "Apply Update" -> "Apply from adb"
|
|
- Your phone is now ready for packages from your computer.
|
|
On your computer:
|
|
- **Update Rom**: run the command `adb sideload <crdroid update.zip>`
|
|
- Reboot to recovery again.
|
|
- **Update Gapps**: run the command `adb sideload <selected gapps.zip>`
|
|
- "Reboot system now"
|
|
|
|
#### Root your phone
|
|
|
|
- Make sure you booted into your phone and unlocked it. Make sure all updates are complete.
|
|
- Browse to -> https://themagisk.com/ and download the magisk.apk
|
|
- Install the magisk.apk on your phone.
|
|
- Reboot back into recovery `adb reboot recovery` and select "Apply Update" -> "Apply from adb"
|
|
- Browse to -> https://themagisk.com/ on your computer and download the SAME magisk.apk
|
|
- Rename "Magisk.apk" to "Magisk.zip"
|
|
- Now sideload the apk straight into your phone `adb sideload Magisk.zip`
|
|
- "Reboot system now"
|
|
- On your phone, download and install the magisk.apk
|
|
- You can now do rooted things.
|
|
|
|
#### Unable to mount error
|
|
|
|
- If you see this error its because your data partition is encrypted. Do not worry about it. You can still access your phone with ADB.
|
|
|
|
#### Useful ADB Commands
|
|
|
|
- Print a list of connected devices: `adb devices`
|
|
- Kill the ADB server: `adb kill-server`
|
|
- Install a package: `adb install <path to apk or zip file>`
