Flash this Super SU
Ps: Is my update working ?

I didn't try it yet. I prefer TWRP, so I was going to test if it's working with it. But I just got the XT1039 last week, so I set it up to my liking, then I unlocked bootloader to root it, so second setup, and then I messed up deleting some files (don't really know what happened), so I had to set it up for the 3rd time just yesterday. I'm not in the mood of wiping it again just yet!
But i will
EDIT: Just installed it, with TWRP and wiping only cache. Works like a charm!

I did the update with the file above without any wipe (except cache)

It works perfectly, thank you!
I was having some trouble updating to 4.4.4 using OTA as I changed a lot in the stock rom. After spending hours reverting changes, I still couldn't get it to work (without flashing stock and starting all over again, which I didn't want to do really).
Was thinking of starting all over again, flashing stock image, OTA to 4.4.4 and changing everything after that, when I came across your thread.
You saved me from spending hours having to start from scratch! Top job!
I only flashed your file from my OTG drive in TWRP , over my heavily changed system, and it works like a dream.
See this screenshot I took right after flashing and reboot:

Nice work Darius.
Also had probs with 4.4.4 OTA due to custom recovery/rooting.
This was easiest way to 4.4.4 happiness....

I want to try this one, but I want to know how can I verify that bootloader is locked or not, and how can I unlock it.
Any threat talking about this?
PD: Could be unlocked from adb typing "fastboot oem unlock"?

Will this work for the XT1039 from Great Britain? Build numbers are the same but instead of EU there is a GB. I bought mine from Amazon and it is the unlocked version.

Awesome!
Hi,
Just installed on my 4.4.3, wiping only the cache partition as you said. As far as I can see everythying works perfectly.
Thank you man !

The bootloader is proprietary so you need to ask Motorola for an unlock code. "Fastboot oem unlock" won't work. There are a lot of threads about this in Q&A and General.

I just finished updating my GB version to this EU version and it worked great! No issues to report. Installed CWM recovery, then EU 4.4.4., wiped cache then installed superuser. Fantastic work with no lost data. My 32GB sdcard works too!!!! AMAZING

I tried using a Sandisk 32 Gb sd card (bought in 2011, and still working perfectly in my old HTC Desire) that didn't work in this phone before the update, but it still doesn't. Have seen other reports about the same issue, so I guess not every sd card problem is solved with the 4.4.4 update.
The card mounts normally, I can see the files on it in any explorer, but it's not possible to read from or write onto the card.
Phone can't format the card, and a check with a Windows pc doesn't show anything wrong with the card.
Strange huh? Any ideas?

I've flashed this and all is working but I can not enable ART can someone else let me know if they can or can't please?

Do you have xposed framework installed? Art doesnt work with it so...
Second, do you have enough internal memory free?

I factory reset the device and still I could not. I flashed the rom via recovery and that seemed to solve it.. perhaps xposed changed something that was not cleared on wipining

Factory Reset does not touch your system partition. Only wipes your data.
Xposed would have modified your system partition to prevent ART. Flashing a new rom would restore your system partition to how it was.
Next time, either disable xposed before uninstalling. Or if that doesn't work, either fastboot flash the system.img chunks found in the stock firmware OR flash the same firmware in a custom recovery (if zip available). This will refresh your system partition and restore any changes without affecting your data.

Edit: ignore

Wait so will this work on the XT1045?

I have flashed this ROM and my SD card (Sandisk 16 GB) is still not recognized by the phone. Any advices ?

[GUIDE] How to Officially Unlock Z2L Z00RD - ZE500KG Bootloader

I'm not responsible for any damage on your phone. Do it at your own risk. Don't come angry or get mad at me, because I'll totally ignore them. I'm just trying to help, if you think this is dangerous for your phone or not worth it, please do back down.
If my thread here is a duplicate, then please feel free to report it so it would be brought down.
I don't own this device, It was my friends device, and I just messed around with it because he bootlooped the phone by doing things without understanding'em. After getting frustrated over and over, suddenly an idea dawned inside my head to do 'what you're about to do' to your phone. This thread here is just to help other ZE500KG users that are as frustrated as I am (was). I didn't find any guide to unlock the ZE500KG here so I decided to do one. If anyone wants to redo this guide, feel free to do it! I'm just here to help even if with very limited knowledge and resources.
First of all, before reading or doing this guide, I'd like to give you a small note, I WON'T BE GIVING LINKS OF THE FILES ITSELF, please search them yourself, you've got google and the threads here (another reason why I'm not giving you links of the files is because my external HDD got corrupted and I lost nearly every file there is for the Z00RD). Plus I did this unlocking like 8-6 months ago, in frustration, so I've forgotten lots of things about the Z00RD.
Now I'd like to explain whats about to happen:
As you guys might know, the only official bootloader unlocking is only available for the Z00ED. What you are about to do is tricking the Z00RD as if it was Z00ED by flashing the Z00ED's stock recovery and flashing stock rom of Z00ED to Z00RD (I hope some users can automatically get the idea of what to do after reading this). After it boots just download the official unlock tool for Z00ED and unlock it. How is this possible? Currently Z00RD (ZE500KG) & Z00ED (ZE500KL) are siblings. They're using the same hardware inside, the only difference is in the camera and modem. So theoretically we can flash ROMs of Z00ED to Z00RD.
Prerequisites:
First of all, please download the respective stock recoveries of Z00ED as per current OS version. Search for them. There is a link somewhere in the forums, just try searching for it. If you're on Lollipop, download the LP stock recovery of Z00ED (ZE500KL) and if you're on Marshmallow download the MM stock recovery Z00ED. Technically this it's just upgrading to latest stock MM ROM.
Download the final stock rom for Z00ED in ASUS's Official Website
Download the official unlock tool for Z00ED that is in the ASUS Official Website too
Optional:
Download stock recovery and stock ROM of ZE500KG and after the unlocking process is finished try reverting back to stock ROM with stock recovery of ZE500KG <- Just incase you are afraid something will go wrong and don't know how to edit build.prop-s to change your device type.
MOST IMPORTANT IS THAT YOU UNDERSTAND & KNOW HOW TO USE ADB & FASTBOOT COMMANDS! I won't be helping you with this, because I'm pretty sure if you're here on XDA, it means you've done some research and pretty much have the knowledge to use the commands.
Okay lets get started:
Move the downloaded stock rom of Z00ED to your phone (I forgot if it has to be renamed and forgot if it has to be in internal or can be put to external) or you could just skip this and later on uise ADB commands to sideload the file.
Boot to fastboot mode / bootloader
Flash the stock recovery via fastboot
Boot to stock recovery that can be done via fastboot command 'fastboot boot' or manually doing it (I forgot the combinations, I'm pretty sure you guys have this covered)
Once it boots to recovery, install the stock rom of Z00ED that has been downloaded (I'd prefer using adb sideload, but it's up to you guys)
You don't have to wipe data, because if you're on MM the data will stay, if you came from LP, it'll be migrated.
Reboot the device and after it wait until it finishes booting (If you're lucky nothing would go wrong in this step)
After it finishes booting, just install the official unlock bootloader app that you've downloaded, open the app and follow the instructions.
Voila device will reboot and you've (somehow) officially unlocked the bootloader of ZE500KG! You're free to flash custom recoveries, custom roms and blablabla without any restriction!
This last step is optional:
If you're planning on sticking with stock ROM, I suggest you to revert back to ZE500KG stock ROM. I don't know if this is a must or optional, but for safety measures I did this to my friends phone.
Notes:
If you've tried rooting this phone via hotbooting a custom kernel (boot.img) that you've found in the threads here (Sorry if I'm not mentioning any names here) and have the fastboot error in every reboot, this will fix it, but if you plan on sticking with stock rom, you won't be able to flash SuperSU in it, because the su binaries will be occupied. On the other hand, MagiskSU works flawlessly.
If somehow this guide doesn't work for you, Try to do other things, or flash other stock recoveries of different stock rom releases of Z00ED. At least you've got the idea on how it works.
If nothing works for you, maybe you're just unlucky, because as usual, ASUS ships different variants of it's phone that may prove to be incompatible with my guide.
There you go! Happy unlocking! Sorry if my post was semi "TL : DR" or I don't reply your posts ASAP, I'm not always online on XDA. Just try your luck and give it a shot! Trial and error is bound to happen when you're dealing with Android phones. Good luck!

Lucky enough my friend sent me some screenies. If this isn't enough, I'll ask him to make a video to see his unlocked status and device type.

K20 Pro hard stuck in bootloader & No OS Installed & Guides didn't work

Hey,
I am in trouble with the K20 Pro (raphael). The first day I bought the device, I installed EU ROM v10.3.17.0 and used for a while. There was no problem. After that, I installed Magisk-v19.3.zip from TWRP and MagiskManager-v7.3.2.apk when Android booted. I just checked to see root privileges. I saw the ROOTED from the a root checker program. Afterwards, I had to transfer the IMEI number of my old phone to the new phone. Therefore, i updated the both IMEI numbers via COM port using WriteDualIMEI program. (adb shell -> su setprop sys.usb.config diag) Finally, I have a bootloop problem on my phone for 2 days. Android is not booting in any way.
What I have tried until now:
1. Installed xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK20ProMI9TPro_9.8.22_v10-10 on PitchBlack-raphael-2.9.0-20190708-0004 (Endless android booting stuck)
2. Format Data -> "yes" and Wipe Cache & Dalvik & System & Data & Vendor & Internal Storage and then installed xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK20ProMI9TPro_V10.3.17.0.PFKCNXM_v10-9 (bootloop stuck)
3. I don't know in which situations but sometimes I get "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?" error after installing ROM.
4. Only happened once: Android booted and white spinning progress circle appeared at center on screen. After spinning for 60 seconds, it redirected to the TWRP menu.
Current status: I flashed Fastboot ROM (raphaelin_in_global_images_V10.3.5.0.PFKINXM_20190816.0000.00_9.0_in_5d0a303019) on Fastboot via MiFlash 2018..11.15.0. But i got "not catch checkpoint" error when the process is finished. It Redirected to Redmi-Recovery 3.0 screen. At the bottom of the screen, there was a error: NV data is corrupted
Is my device bricked? How can i fix that?
Thanks
Device: K20 Pro (raphael)
TWRP: 3.3.1-2

P.S: I apologize if there are grammatical errors.

Try to fastboot flash MIUI 10.3.16.0 without locking bootloader.
I have no catch checkpoint error too but It automatically boots into MIUI.

Finally, I fixed that problem. I copied the EFS to TWRP/BACKUPS/your_serial_number/. i had previously backed up. I used the LR team's TWRP, see here. Thank you @theincognito
I installed this ROM via Fastboot, i don't like it. There are so many dipsh*t CN apps and fonts are weird. It's like I'm using the phone in two languages. I am thinking about to install 10.3.17 EU ROM, is that worthy? Or should i install 9.8.29 Q ? I just want everything to be stable, new and up-to-date. Thanks...

9.8.8 is beta rom, released on 201'9'-0'8'-0'8'
10.3.17.0 is stable miui 10 rom.
The reason latest beta rom seems backdated than stable rom because of the naming scheme. Beta roms actually has most recent elements than stable roms.

Because, IMEI legal registration fee must be made for each phone that brought from abroad. It's about ~$266. And K20 Pro ~$345, Also %18 VAT, Also %25 Special Consumption Tax, Also %6 TRT Bandrol, And finally the base price $345, which is 1978₺ Turkish Liras, comes to an average of ~4500₺ Liras which is ~$785. I'm buying one for myself, and one for the government. If you take a phone from abroad and try to bring it into the own country, you have to pay ~618₺ Liras free to legal registration which is ~$110. Shortly, iPhone 11 Pro Max 512G ($1499) comes to $2614. Pêrfecto!

No IMEI, MAC, damaged sensors
I have the following problem:
I made a Nandroid backup with TWRP without knowing that I was not able to RESTORE, playing a bit for the system fell into Hard brickeo ... revived from there I only remain without working IMEI, Wifi and sensors. I cannot restore my backup since my TWRP could not, what I already did:
+ Flash Rom stock with MiFlash
+ Flash Persist.img with TWRP
My question is if I can restore that backup with a different TWRP and how can I do without dying since I tried and stayed dead once.

Pls hep

I flashed the 10.4.6.0 stable on my redmi k20 and I was trying to do the Gpay and while I was in the TWRP I went to wipe and selected these option wipe, advanced wipe, and selected dalvik, data cache and system and now It says no OS and can't copy files to the phone, and I'm just stuck on the TWRP, Any advice what I can do? Please I'm panicking and sccared I might have bricked my phone or something.

you should not have to wipe the system, always wipe dalvik cache and data not system. you can't boot system or copy files because of encrypted data. you have to flash rom again by using miflash tools with indian fastboot rom .
After flashing the rom if u want to use unencrypted storage then use this script through twrp - format the data and flash.

I also get this error when I select a ROM "cannt find flash script" what does this mean?

just format the data from twrp recovery (where you type "yes") and then you should be able to copy ROM into internal storage again.

I wish I knew that before I flashed the China ROM back on the device with Mi Flash and locked the bootloader, now apparently I have to wait 7 days before I can unlock the device with Mi Unlock, unless there;s another way to do it then please I'm all ears, But so far that's all I've managed to do., and I'm thankful the device is still working and I haven;t brcked it or anything,

Just be thankful you've restored the phone and wait out the 7 days. I would suggest using that time to do more reading of these forums, so you can understand more about how to do the things you want and what things not to do.
I appreciate there's a lot of information to take in, but until you're more experienced with flashing ROMs, etc. I would recommend not doing anything if you've not understood what each step in the process does and why you need to do it.
Now you've learnt that the system partition is where the OS lives and why it's not a good idea to wipe it in TWRP without a good reason.

Yeah I'm very thankful, also the only thing I want is to be able to use the phone and all it's features,m and have the most up to date OS. From what I was told 10.4.6.0 is latest stable Miui Version for my device K20 Pro CN, please let me know if this information is correct also I wanted to fix GPay since it wasn't working and so far the guides I've seen are pretty complicated and wish there was a simplified version or one that was more user friendly. Apart from this nothing else, never experienced so much hardship from buying a phone within the first few days.
But thanks for the replies.

10.4.6 is latest chinese stable miui version. 10.4.8 is indian one.
To fix gpay, you have this pretty simple tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/guide-google-pay-fix-t3964698
As you wiped system, you have several options to fix it: flash stock chinese in miflash tool (as you did, but not locking bootloader). You also could just flashed twrp by fastboot command and dirty flash same .zip rom...
There's nothing that hard here, you just should not wipe system partition. you should not lock your bootloader in miflash tool. too simple...

Oh... so can I still dirty flash with a locked bootloader or is that not possible and how would I go about doing a "dirty" flash? Please let me know and thanks for the reply.

Yoi cannot flash, clean or dirty, with a locked botloader. They should update that app and make the clean all and lock not the default option and make it red or something.
Virtually all issues in the k20 pro forum come from people locking their bootloader this way.
There's nothing you can do right now. Use it locked until you can unlock it again. Be thankful you didn't brick the device.

Ok thank you very much, also I was doing some research and so the Android 10 was released for the Redmi K20 pro, will I have to flash a ROM to get that or will there be an update for it? I'm just curious how it all works.

You should get an update but you can flash it as a rom too. I'm actually currently using xiaomi.eu based on MIUI 11 with android 10. It's basically miui without bloat and ads.

Sure. Here you go.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/rom-miui-11-xiaomi-eu-t3973685
Currently this is the beta version, since there is no miui 11 official stable build.
That doesn't mean, however, that the ROM is not stable. For me at least it's been perfect for daily use. By far the ROM with the least amount of bugs as of now. If you want though, they do have miui 10 based on Android 10 stable 10.4.6 I believe. They release their roms shortly after xiaomi releases their builds.

Oh please link that one as well the more options there are the better in case anything goes wrong. Also if I may ask what method did you use to flash your Redmi K20? Whether it was a guide or just your own knowledge it will definitely e appreciated.
Thanks.
Bye.

Question How to root Redmi Note 11?

Hi. I am new to this site.
I want to root my Redmi Note 11 but I don't know how to.
I tried looking up online but all I could find were guides on other devices. And outdated too.
I read about Magisk and Magisk Hide which allows you to pass SafetyNet but I also read that it's developer joined Google. So I don't know if it will work or not.
Please help me.
How can I root my phone and pass SafetyNet?

The first step is to unlock your bootloader which usually takes a week. Do that first, then you can browse more and wait for answers while you wait

I have already requested Mi for permission to unlock bootloader. I had to wait 5 days and today is the last day.

Make sure to backup all your data before unlocking bootloader as it will wipe them.
I strongly recommend flashing Xiaomi.eu Stable ROM first as it offers more features than stock and also, you don't have to look for the boot.img again. But in case you want to keep it stock, you want to find the flashboot ROM with the exact same version as the one you have right now and extract the boot.img from it. Then you want to get magisk on your phone, transfer the boot.img to your phone, patch it, transfer it back to your computer, and then use ADB to flash the boot.img

Thank you for replying.
I am quite newbie in rooting.
I can understand enough to follow your instructions but not enough to really know what I am doing.
Can you please elaborate each step and what it does?
Or maybe refer me to a trusted guide where I can understand the tidbits.

I think this sums it pretty well: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/installing-miui-eu-rom-and-root.4426937/
- Backing up data: Back up your data so it won't be lost during bootloader unlock
- Unlock bootloader: allows you to flash into your phone
- Flashing Xiaomi.eu (optional): Their ROM is based on MIUI Global/China which has way more features than region based ROMs and no bloatware. Cons is you have to manually update it and you can't update system apps (as they're also modified to disable ads). Pros is, you know the version you just flashed and the boot.img is also there.
- Finding boot.img: This is the file you want to patch if you want to root your phone. You can find this by extracting the fastboot ROM and it should be inside. In case of stock MIUI, you have to download the exact version that you have right now on https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/ , get the flashboot version, extract, and boot.img should be inside
The rest should be explained in the post above and I think this will also help in installation of Magisk https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html

@notBradPitt Hey, is this the correct fastboot rom for my device?

Yes. After unlocking bootloader, make sure USB debugging is enabled (because you just reset the phone), boot into flashboot mode, and run the "first install" script. Make sure your cables are connected properly so it doesn't corrupt any files. First time booting will take around 15-20 minutes for me, so this is normal and you shouldn't panic.
After that you can continue with the root process. The boot.img should be in "images" folder. Once you are done with it, you can try the tools listed here (https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-pass-safetynet-android/) to pass SafetyNet. You can test the SafetyNet using the tool in Magisk or you can use YASNAC (from Google Play or GitHub)

No problem How do you like it? Have you proceeded with root yet?

It's nice.
Xiaomi eu is certainly cleaner than stock. Adless and bloatless. It has new features although some of the stock's features are missing. Play Store is jittery for unknown reasons.
And when I try to open a file in another app, the app list appears quite late and it's laggy too. But that's all and I don't mind it.
Thanks again for recommending it.

Yeah. Rooting with magisk is so easy. And it's uninstallation is easy too.

Yes, data is only needed when you request for permission

Assuming you have unlocked the bootloader
Step by Step Guide:
1. Download Magisk APK and install it
2. Patch your Recovery (Stock, TWRP, Skyhawk, etc) in magisk app and copy the patched img to Computer
3. Switch it off, then boot to bootloader, and type "fastboot flash boot recovery_patched.img" where recovery_patched.img is your file name.
4. Reboot (Might take longer than usual) and open magisk to confirm the the result of actions.
