Guide wanted for Rooting stock Oreo and flashing custom ROMS - Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers

Hey, fellow members. I'm a complete noob. Well, not exactly. I have rooted a few of my older phones and flashed custom ROMs but I have no idea how to root my current phone. I've been trying to find a perfect solution ranging from Youtube videos to our own forum threads but I guess I am not really good at searching. I'd be really grateful if someone could give me a step by step guide to rooting my phone and IDK, maybe unlocking the bootloader (if that's required) and then flashing a new Pie ROM. I'm using XT1084 Stock Oreo 8.1 with the latest security patch. Your help will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Unlock bootloader first
For rooting, installing custom roms. You need to unlock bootloader first via fastboot using ur PC. Search the thread for bootloader unlocking process. And then download and install TWRP. Join telegram group http://t.me/g5splus for custom roms and all stuffs

This might help you.
Bootloader unlocking and Root
My current ROM (LineageOS 16 unofficial)

Thank you so much for providing help. I'll try these out and revert back on my success.

I do have another question. I'm currently using Pixel Experience 9.0 which is supposedly a TREBLE ROM. I want to switch to Bootleggers 9.0 which isn't TREBLE. Will there be a problem if I flash a Non-TREBLE ROM on a TREBLE Recovery? I'm using TWRP TREBLE. I know I sound a little foolish especially with the rubbish nomenclature but I hope that everyone is able to comprehend my words and possibly even figure out a solution for me.

Nevermind.
Got it.
It doesn't make any difference whether I use TREBLE or Non-TREBLE TRWP for flashing a Non-TREBLE ROM.

What is treble and why is all the fuss about it?

Recently I saw that there appeared a new kind of roms which need a special recovery and, as I could find, have something to do with easier update of Android version. Also I have seen a project: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659 which claims to have one rom file that can be flashed on a impressing number of roms. I saw the first comment by author which has a method to know if a device has support for treble and it is refered to run "treble check" app from play store on official rom. The thing is that I experimented and installed treble rom (lineage OS) from redmi 4x thread and did the check if the device is supported (the screenshot is attached below) and saw that on this rom it is supported, in contrary to MIUI. The question is about this controversion: is this device supported or not? Can I flash these ROMs from the thread? Are treble ROMs really like a universal flashable file for multiple devices?
If you flash GSI (Generic System Image) it will work on our device. Yes Treble roms are universally flashable if GSI is used, with some minimal modification for device specific. So porting roms will easier, and less time consuming.
Anyone can correct me, if i 'm wrong.

So if I flash the rim from this link specifically on redmi 4x, the device will have no harm at all?

Yes, but follow the instruction there. Our device is A-only device. Use the special recovery here for flashing. Or flash the lineageos 15.1 treble edition first just find in on our device forum.

I have seen that seamless updates require A and B partition. I want to know what I am loosing with this device by having only the A partition (what really is seamless update and how does it work)? P.S. sorry for being annoying.

As far as i know the seamlees update works this way:
In slot A you have installed any OS Example Android 8.1
In slot B there is a backup of the OS Om slot A
This mean you can install the ota of Android P (example) in one of the slots while you are on Facebook for example

Guide me please

Hey, so first of all sorry for making a long post and I might repeat things for which there may be threads so sorry in advance regarding that, so moving on ,I just bought k20 Pro, while miui is awesome , I'm thinking of switching rom, but can't do it rn as I'll be traveling soon and don't want to risk bricking my phone, I'll do it asap after I return (in 1 week) so my questions are:
1) How to unlock bootloader?
2) How to flash recovery ? And which one , I've always used TWRP on earlier device, but some ppl I see here say Orangefox.
3)I know how to flash a ROM, but what is the vendor everyone keeps telling to flash and should that be flashed everytime installing new rom?
4) Do you lose support for hd in prime and Netflix after flashing rom? If yes how to bring it back (if possible ).
5) ROM recommendation! I've used Lineage os on my previous device, so close it would be good, recommend something which is stable and fast , I don't use much customisation, and should be close to stock Android, as less bugs as possible.
6) Anything I need to know about the device? Something which will help me in future.
Note:i I've upgraded to Miui 12 so please try base answers on that version. I have Indian version of phone.
Thank you to the folks reading this and answering!!

Here's a guide to unlocking the bootloader. This is from the official MIUI global forums.
https://c.mi.com/thread-2262302-1-0.html
Stick with TWRP. Get it from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...icial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3944363/post79823568 get the latest version. Orange Fox is a good choice of you stick with MIUI or a MIUI based custom ROM. Otherwise TWRP is the better option. Flashing instructions are there. You shouldn't need to flash the vbmeta patcher.
Check out my guide here, read the thread as some of your questions are answered there including a basic overview of vendor and firmware.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/simple-guide-flipkart-owners-t4151007/post83329343
If you are used to LOS, then you may as well stick with that. It's as stable as any ROM for this phone.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/development/rom-lineageos-17-0-t3976469/post80406191
If you stick with Indian firmware and vendor, you should keep widevine L1.
If you get in a mess, follow this guide from the official MIUI forums to restore the phone with a fastboot ROM.
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
You will need to view this page in desktop mode, if viewing on a mobile.
You can get the latest MIUI fastboot ROM from here.

Question Can I flash mojito when im on rosemary with my bootloader unlocked?

The development of the rosemary is slow and I wanna install evolution x, but the unofficial version is only for mojito/sunny. Im scared that its going to brick/softbrick my phone if I do this. Will it brick if I install an official rom with mojito from xiaomifirmwareupdater?
Incompatible. Bad idea.
What would happen?
Is it a instant brick? Or will it be very buggy and slow? I only want to this due to there not being a supported twrp version for rosemary, and no custom firmwares. And no custom recovery. Only twrp version is for engineers and developers.
A ROM built specifically for another device won't work. If you want a custom ROM on Rosemary I would suggest learning about flashing GSI ROM using fastboot until ROMs specific to Rosemary are built which currently there are none that are released here on XDA
Does unofficial twrp have a rosemary twrp? Also does it increase fps? Im trying to get a light one like corvos. Since I have to be cautious cause my older device bricked when trying to install a custom rom
Yes unofficial TWRP is being built for Rosemary but it is in very experimental beta stage and is under heavy development. It will not give you miraculous fps increase
A slight one? Or just no? If no then il still check it out.
Should I use twrp? Or might it brick my device, or is it ready to install and factory reset?
Im not very experienced with mods all I need is a custom rom, root, twrp or a custom recovery and a custom boot screen. Does GSI give a custom boot screen? Or is it very slight changes?
Woah! It looks very nice, but, no custom recoveries? Stable? Or just twrp under heavy development?
If you are a novice do not install anything that is beta. To answer your main concern regarding FPS, the hardware is still the same regardless of ROM or TWRP.
Your options are limited to:
1. [Minor Factor] Google how to debloat MIUI using adb. This will free up resources marginally but not affect your fps by much
2. [Major Factor] Your FPS count is limited by how much heat is trapped causing the GPU+CPU to throttle. Cooling the phone while gaming like an attachable fan can work like it does on ROG phones. Get creative on cooling your phone rather than bricking a perfectly working one
Yes I know, but I find twrp easier than adb and fastboot tools. Its ok if it doesnt give me more fps, the important thing is that it doesnt decrease.
All I need is a custom recovery now. Do you recommend anything? Or there arent any?
https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-5-2-root-redmi-note-10s/
Is this the same twrp posted on this form? Or is it a 3.5.2 that is stable?
No official TWRP exists yet for Rosemary.
My suggestion is to wait until official TWRP recovery is made available. Keep a watch on the sub-forum for this device for any official news and releases until then
I used unofficial twrp on my samsung. That worked fine. Do all releases on unofficial twrp have to be stable? My samsung never bricked. So should I give it a shot and let you know? Also, do I need to flash disable encryption? with unofficial?
I dont know fi this sounds dumb but, im quite a noobie so, Does verify opt encrypt have to release for different phones? Or can I just flash the one on sourceforge?
STOP REPLY TO THIS THREAD !!! IT IS BULL**** !
Please moderator, close this !!!!
Dude, stop being so harsh im new to this stuff,
anyways, does this work as a gsi rom for rosemary? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gsi-unofficial-11-pixel-experience-pixel-experience-plus.4269051/
SO IN A NUTSHELL, NO CUSTOM RECOVERY FOR THIS DEVICE?
You can't flash roms meant for different devices with different hardware, it will brick your device. It sounds like you don't know much about the processes so I suggest you start by reading some of the many great guides on the XDA forums first.

Question Custom roms for SM-A336B

Hello
Is there any custom rom for the a336b with no bugs? i'd really like to mod my phone bc oneui sucks ass.
Thanks
If you have ONE UI 5.0 , not 5.1 or 4.1, you can install TWRP* and a lineage GSI. Guide, shoutout to Privacydroid.
P.S. The working TWRP is beneath his first post.*
P.S.S. Remember to only use it if you have One UI 5.0, I tried installing it on 5.1 and I got softbricked.
P.S.S.S. No offence, but I dont think youre allowed to swear on the xda forums.
Thank you, is there any way I can downgrade OneUI 5.1 to 5.0?
Yes, so you have to unlock the bootloader, and then you got to this link. Choose the firmware with PDA .
A336BXXS4BWA1
I assume your CSC is EUX, if its not just change it. If you dont have the March patch you dont have to unlock the bootloader but i would do it anyways because you have to do it to install TWRP and Lineage GSI.
Hello.

If you're able to install TWRP, you should be able to run any GSI you want.
I have written a guide here but it is your responsibility to know what you are doing.
Read also that thread, there are at least two guides for A600X:
Question about lack of A6 ROMs
After spending a couple of weeks searching for LineageOS for the A6 (not A6+), I've discovered that there's very little support for this device. Why is this?

It's hard to say, try maybe flashing different kernel at first, and if it won't help ten play with different GSI's from the list:

You can try. but don't use old custom recovery, because Android 12+ can cause recovery bootloop. Try with this OrangeFox. Such GSI gives no guarantee of proper work on that A600X vendor.

As usual - in custom recovery (flash as boot image).

Sure, works perfectly.
