Interesting wording. If you mean that you can now toggle OEM unlocking on, then unlocking the bootloader with fastboot is the same no matter what device you have.

Sorry for that lol But what I meant was just any root method using magisk because I used the latest 20.2 and it failed for me. And TWRP if any . Just a point in the right direction basically ?

Is there a working Magisk Canary build that can patch my boot.img?

Like @p70shooter said. There is no other way to root besides magisk, and there is no TWRP as of yet. If rooting with 20.2 didn't work, then try 20.1. You can find it here :good: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases

Don't know. I just use stable, like they recommend. I know people do use Canary just fine but can't help you there

This what I'm getting when I keep trying to patch it. And it is the correct stock image with my build number.
Edit : I'm just going to have to do this after work . I thought I had time but I'm just rushing probably just missing everything.
Thanks for the help guys

Just a little FYI for you my friend. Have you downloaded the factory image coinciding with your current build? If not, then do so, then extract the factory image, then extract the image.zip, then pull the boot.img from there, place it on your phones internal storage, then try to patch it with magisk. I just did it myself with the 20.2 stable version and it worked fine :good:

What is the correct way to re-enable encryption?

If I have formatted and installed with encryption disabled, what is the right way to get encryption back?
Can I just go into Settings>Security & Fingerprint>Encrypt Phone and enable it there?
Yup, that should do the trick. Didn't try on T3, but used same method on one of my prev phones.
Did that work?
I did it on OOS 4.1.1 with twrp and franco kernel installed. It worked for me :good:

Well all custom roms work fine with encrypted devices so i don't see why it shouldn't be possible to encrypt your device on a custom rom. If you want to be 100% sure ask in the thread of your rom

It worked. I disabled root to be on the safe side and encrypted. I get errors in twrp now, but they don't seem to effect anything.

Root is not a problem neither. i did it with root enabled.
That twrp error is normal. When you boot in twrp it shows the error that it can't mount data because you're encrypted and you need to type in your password first.
I also suggest you to use blu_spark's twrp because it's always updated. The official twrp for the op3t hasn't a maintainer anymore and it seems abbandoned..

I mean here on xda. The last build on xda is the 3.0.4.1 which it never came out. There was the 3.1.0.0 which had the wipe bug for the 3t. I don't know who is making those builds and i don't neither know if they test it.

It's expected to happen that way. Just re-flash root in TWRP. If you updated to Oreo, forget supersu, not working anymmore, use magisk. 14.6.

[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?
One more thing, TWRP working with it or no?
Thanks

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.

Thanks man. I don't know what reliable backup method i can use on an unrooted phone. I'm on A17 so i guess it's safe to upgrade without backup. Again, have u experienced any bug so far on realme ui?

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 ​

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you want, you can update Magisk version via Manager after installation.

it would probably be better to use stock recovery_ramdisk for LLD-L31 and patch it via magisk manager. It is true that Recovery and eRecovery are the same for ANE, LLD, BND devices, but there may be nuances...
So download the full stock LLD-L31 9.1.0.xxx from androidhost.ru and use the "Huawei update extractor" to extract the original Recovery_ramdisk.img (if you want to make a guide).
