About

LFFF flashes full firmware on OnePlus, OPPO and Realme devices with a Qualcomm SoC and an A/B partition layout. It handles the whole pipeline: OTA download and extraction, pre-flash checks, Anti-Rollback protection, dynamic super partitions, A/B slot management and modem flashing. fastboot, adb, aria2 and payload-dumper-rust are bundled, so nothing has to be installed alongside it. Flashing still needs the usual udev rules on the host for the device to be reachable over USB. MediaTek devices flash entirely through fastbootd and have no Anti-Rollback protection.
