Progress towards Root/Twrp/Roms

This thread is strictly for info regarding Root/Twrp/Roms
If you have any ideas or have tried anything please post here
I AM IN NO WAY A DEV ,i am using google and common sense
Here is the link to the sprint boot.img (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Vkl8ldvnNdOGlyLW4wOXNDRUk/view?usp=drivesd)-Thanks to @XirXes
Heres what i have tried
-So far i have tried signing the sprint boot.img to magisk with no luck,it gives me files are read only errors.I was able to get past the the first two steps of this post for systemless root via adb (https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445)
-Flashing the stock sprint boot.img to confirm compatibility hint hint its compatible
ROOT HAS BEEN ACHEIVED!!
UPDATE- As of 9/13/17 we now have root in the form of a patched boot.img thanks to @themustached for patching the boot.img so gracefully for us
To install the boot img you need to reboot to fastboot and run the command "fastboot flash boot (name of boot.img).img

Just a update as I have been away from this phone for a bit
We have kernel source now (like 2 months ago) and there are 3 AOSP ROMs that I know about being worked on so far I don't know any details or anything but what I do know is that they completed the build process they are working on getting it running on our phone
joemossjr made the the ncp Rom and got TWRP for us so big thanks to him!
Substratum works on legacy with root and newest version of TWRP just in case anyone was wondering.

Booted but no root
Also when toying around do not do Fastboot flash, do fastboot boot. We dont have a clean T Mobile kernel and could really wind up in a bad place due to a bad flash.

i tried flashing to the a and b partition no luck used the magisk 13.6 thinking we need to get hold of the pixel magisk

I have insurance and I'm willing to risk my device worst case,it's not a problem,I've noticed if you boot it,it doesn't like to set correctly

I totally forgot about the dual partitions with this.
We really need the stock recovery to get TWRP built. Even the Sprint/AT&T versions should be fine

Downloaded them all found no recovery

Verified ATT & Sprint boot.img works om Tmobile
Ok I have verified these 2 posted images boot ok on the TMobile Z2 Force. What do I need to do to use fastboot to extract system images? I cant use adb to get any system partition yet. I dont have the info, I tried to use adb and it would not let me read /dev/ permission denied. If you tell me what to do from fastboot or adb I can dump it, bootloader is already unlocked. Thanks!

We are all in this situation. It is likely going to be quite some time before we get root due to the dual partition system.
Based on the Pixel info, we need TWRP first

The recovery is in the boot.img of 7.1 and up devices

Figured I'd give a status update on people looking for root. So as it looks roots gonna have to be put on the back end for right now as magisk isn't updated to 13.6 for the Google pixel it's on 13.4 which means we can't use the 13.6 manual boot image patching funtionallity. The reason we are using the pixel is because as of right now it's the only other device to use the a and b partitioning that has magisk. So what this all means is we need to try to get twrp going so we can at least get backups going and pre rooted roms. I personally have pmed everyone I could with little to no response. I'll update when I get any responses.

Any progress? Anything I can do to help? I have T Mobile variant with unlocked bootloader.

We brought in another guy from the pixel forum who made their twrp recovery he's going to take a look and see what can be done

Question before I delve further.
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] rather than just flash <partition> [ <filename> ] perhaps for the twrp? Just a spit ball idea as I wrap my head around. Been a few years since I bothered with phones rather than.. other systems. I'm sure this round probably already been tried but curious of the turn before I fry the new toy xD.

1. just keep the zip file in root of Internal storage
2. Give storage permission to Motorola update services by going to settings app -> apps -> show system apps -> Motorola update services
3. reboot the phone..
4. After this, just check for updates.. then your phone will start updating..

Didn't worked...
But i saw now that my phone is in amxbr channel! Thank you anyway!

I believe this zip is made to be installed with twrp, not the stock recovery, thats why it didn't work.

Ok, when you say root of internal storage, you mean keep it on internal storage or in a folder named root? Because it's on internal storage and I've tried it three times.

Hi, I had already installed when I saw this, but thanks. Now I have a problem, I managed to do everything ok, I installed Android 10, installed my apps, I was even using them, so I decided to restart the phone and it gets stuck on the Phone Is Starting screen. I can access settings, but some things are locked.

I factory reset it, I've restarted twice now and it's opening, but I'm getting so many erros, like apps that won't download, there's not a single folder on internal memory. Is this fixable? Should I try reinstalling it or downgrade it? ?
---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------
I think it's a problem with storage or slots, because whrn I try to screenshot it says it can't save due to limited storage although I only have 34% used

I just got the update and was able to capture the zip file.
Please be aware that after the update my phone was in a boot loop, and I had to do a full wipe. I'm full stock with the bootloader still locked.
This is the .zip I captured: http://fastdl.hostzone.com.br/zip/ab_delta-Blur_Version.29.271.13-10.1.22.lake.retail.en.US.zip

[STOCK] Stable realmeUI/Android 10 ROM for RMX1991

Hi folks,
What we used as beta ROM is now published as official stable release known as version RMX1991_11.C.12 for Chinese model of Realme X2.
Probably anyone can upgrade the phone now in any possible way.

The bad news is FP stops working as soon as you patch vbmeta for disabling AVB...

The good news is that there's no verification of system partition. You can leave vbmeta untouched and modify whatever you want except boot.

No, Magisk is patching boot, which will require you to disable verification by means of vbmeta. You can try system-based methods like one of SuperSU.

but in order to fix twrp replace issue vbmeta verification is needed to be disabled right??

I will try to search for it. Is it just a normal app to install from Play store? or requires other method?

No. At least a few last CN ROM versions are insensitive to recovery replacement. You can keep stock vbmeta and flash custom recovery. But recovery will be replaced when you boot system, i.e. you flash custom recovery for single and immediate use

Backup is a nice thing. I would always insist on creating backup.
I successfully switched onto realmeUI without losing data. As I understand, you have to do it from A.17 (for CN device). My path was A.16 -> C.02, but now many are suggested to upgrade from A.17 straight to C.12.

Battery issue after flashing

Hi folks! I humbly ask for your help after hours and hours of DIY attempts. I rooted a Z5 Compact a few years ago and, mistakenly, expected this to be similar: I didn't read instructions carefully. Admitting to noob mistakes now.
I followed this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...devonly-exploits-temp-root-to-backup-t3795510
with this option:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...oted-kernel-hiding-bootloader-unlock-t3898711
I went with the G8441_47.1.A.8.49_CE1.rar firmware, as it seems most compatible. THANK YOU j4nn! Marvelous and relatively simple procedure . Flashed with newflasher (Flashtool doesn't work with XZ1 Compact?).
Rooting worked, but when the phone is on battery it never goes above 20%. It was 100% before and 20% immediately after flashing. Red warning light is on, unless the phone is off and plugged in.
So. I missed the part about omitting persist* and Qnovo*. Somehow my attest keys didn't break (PROVISIONED in service test).
It looks like what happened is I replaced the battery config? Info:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-x/help/flashed-xperia-x-low-battery-t3441158
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xa/help/strange-battery-issue-jumping-33-3-0-t3688178
Can't repair with Xperia Companion because unlocked bootloader (no way it could be re-locked, is there? My DRM keys are backed up).
Someone wrote about wiping the Qnovo partition. Any advice on how to do this? fastboot format Qnovo didn't work (looks like it doesn't find that partition)
Unrelated, and sorry if this is a total n00b question, but where on earth is TWRP compatible with this device/FW? j4nn's rooted kernel doesn't play well with TWRP install, so I'm hoping to just fastboot boot recovery.img. I can't find any recovery.img that works - I tried several of these:
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=232371
But it just gets stuck on SONY logo, needing soft reset.

Try this - https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool and report back.

WORKED. Flashed the US firmware with "Software Update Content Erase", battery now seems to be working normal again. Thank you so much!
Another question: I'd love to set this phone up to work with fastbooting TWRP (so, not a TWRP install on the phone). Is that possible with 47.1.A.8.49? If not, advice on what firmware to use that'll allow rooting per j4nn's methods? Preferably compatible with https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...oted-kernel-hiding-bootloader-unlock-t3898711

Why use such old FW? If you're sticking with Oreo then you want the FW ending .20 for the latest. An unlocked bootloader is all that required to boot TWRP from fastboot on any FW.

Because I didn't know better. Emma gave me 47.1.A.16.20, I'll stick to that
Would you mind sharing what *img file exactly would work with fastboot that way? I had no trouble finding it for the Z5 compact, but one that would work here is eluding me. For example, if I run:
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-lilac-1.img
The phone boots up to SONY logo (black on white background) and stays there, unresponsive. Got the file from https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=286271

Although I would simply install the latest and use one of the unrooted kernels then root it with Magisk.

Hmm. I was aware of that. I tried several of the twrp*.img files, they all get stuck booting on the SONY logo.

I'm wondering if a FW update would solve the TWRP booting problem.
I've setup this phone a bit at this point and flashing a new firmware (erasing everything) would be painful. Is there a way to safely do a firmware update on a rooted device? Emma offers 47.2.A.*, but only for UK ROMS. I'd installed the 47.1.A.16.20 US ROM.

I know it used to be. Done a bit more searching for you https://forum.xda-developers.com/search/thread/3706704?query=fastboot twrp, and found this command...

fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-lilac-pie-5.img

Starting over is always painful but sometimes it's the best option. I have a rooted stock ROM and TWRP installed with no issues, on Oreo or PIE so if you do, then I suggest backing up the essentials and starting again.

YES. Thanks so much SXUsr! You were right after all, I tried a few different TWRP images and they work now. What I was missing was fastboot reboot bootloader. My Z5 Compact doesn't require it.
There was one more thing I had to figure out: data partition is encrypted, and for my (Android 8.0.0) device the TWRP you mentioned fails.
twrp-3.2.3-0-lilac-1.img on the other hand asks for my unlock pattern when it boots up, and backs up fine.
Now that I have a complete backup I'll consider my next steps (possibly flashing a new ROM. Honestly 8.0.0 seems fine, we'll see). Thanks again!!

You're welcome. I've always installed it on this phone so wasn't aware of that command myself either, so we've both learnt something.

General [IMG] Boot + magisk patched boot images

Hi, I have decided to gather boot images and magisk patched images to one thread for now. I will try to edit this thread to be up-to-date. You can let me know what could you want next or if anything is wrong etc.
Stock boot.img files (direct links): ​
EU NE2213_11_A.12​
Stock boot.img - link
EU NE2213_11_A.10​
Stock boot.img - link
​Magisk patched boot.img are here a file that can be downloaded (I am using magisk canary usually, but in Magisk, you can change the channel from the canary to stable etc.) - names as the versions come. ​
Below this there are those magisk patched files which you just flash (or boot and then flash directly from the Magisk app) via fastboot ​

Reserved

Don't you need to patch vendor_boot.img as well like OnePlus 9 pro ?

Apparently not. I have patched that stock boot via magisk, then via fastboot boot <patchedimage.img> booted (and also tested if it actually boots) and when it booted, via magisk app I did "Direct install (recommended)", rebooted and done.

Oh okay you had a temporary boot we that's good to know well it works that's the most important thing ain't it

Noob question I been on locked bootloader for years so haven't been in the root scene, but I have US model NE2215 I'm guessing I need to wait for the firmware to be available to get the boot img? Did I just got my phone too early? Already oem unlocked now just waiting for twrp and root info. I always wanted a OnePlus phone because the community is big, but doesn't seem like much people upgraded from 9 pro.

Yes, because this is probably and currently the most secure option to root it as we haven't got twrp available yet.

Noob question I been on locked bootloader for years so haven't been in the root scene, but I have US model NE2215 I'm guessing I need to wait for the firmware to be available to get the boot img? Did I just got my phone too early? Already oem unlocked now just waiting for twrp and root info. I always wanted a OnePlus phone because the community is big, but doesn't seem like much people upgraded from 9 pro.

That's not that you have it early. The phone itself is early in spite of rooting and doing things like rooting, custom recoveries, ROMs etc. I currently can't find boot img for your model, but once I do, I will post it here for you with patched one.

Thank you kouzelnik3 for this thread !
I was going to dl original firmware and patch it myself but found your thread in time with all ready to flash
Rooted OP10 pro done, now i can't wait to see some TWRP and roms in the future

You're really welcome, I wanted to unite those currently quite hard rooting stuff!
And yes, I can't wait to see twrp too!

Is there a known stock boot.img of the NE2215_11_A.10? I assume I shouldn't use the 2213_11_A.10.

Yeah.. I googled a lot last night once I got my phone trying to find it to root it. I need me that extra bit of customization.
Is there a way I can get it from my phone?

what am i doing wrong here rooted for 7+ years and some reason can't get this working.
Just moved over from ColorOS to Oxygen - when i try to flash the boot.img (patched one) all i get is this

Ignore me but for anyone else that tries looks like i had to reboot bootloader and flash the img via bootloader...
thought it's normally flashed via fastboot?! weird phone

You should wipe the phone and start all over or else you won't be able to take ota updates. Never flash the patched boot image since you bypass the magisk backup feature. You have to wait for the full update package to update if you flash the boot. Ppl have previously had update issues after flashing.

Wiped the phone already, what difference would it make if i remove root or flash stock boot then flash ota and reflash boot?

Not sure what else magisk does during the backup process, but doing what you’re describing didn’t work for users on 8T and they usually ended up soft bricking. Everyone who flashed it vice installing from magisk app had to wait for op to post the full rom or for someone to post a repacked fastboot rom to update.
You do what you need to do, I’m just giving you some experience and recommendations since you just wiped and flashed the boot.

Interesting.
I moved over from ColorOS to oxygen OS, wiped the device then just booted a patched boot img, and installed direct.
I assume I flash ota and go onto magisk and do inactive slot? Where does the issue lie what method should I have gone down?

Hmmm. Well you should be fine if you patched the boot and let magisk do the install. I only suggested wiping since you said you flashed the img from the bootloader.
You might run into the same problem I have with the 9RT. I too upgraded from color to oos and couldn’t update at all, even though I rooted from the magisk app. I had to wait for someone to make a fastboot rom. I had no problems updating color following my method, but not oos after switching. Hopefully that’s not the case for you.
