Unbrick files required

Hello,
I have bricked my P10 and I need some files for Oreo:
I have the system.img and the cust.img
I am missing:
boot.img , recovery and userdata.img
I have got the 2 I have extracting the update.zip but the other 3 are not available in the update.app from huawei inside the zip.
Can anyone upload the files for me or upload a TWRP backup as I have TWRP Oreo up and running in the P10 but I formatted everything and forgot to backup first.
Thank you very much.
PS: Resume I please need a TWRP backup of the OREO rom or the 3 missing files above, thank you very much.

there is no longer a boot.img and recovery.img for oreo. If I am not mistaken you are trying to use the multi_tool right?
You can use the ramdisk kernel and recovry_ramdisk files as replacement.
Userdata is not necessary from what I recon.
If you have a running TWRP I would strongly urge you to try to find a fix using that way. Such as by running HWOTA if you can.

Thank you but I can´t because HWOTA doesn´t recognise the TWRP. I am trying to use the multi_tool 8 but without success. I don´t know how to fix it at the moment, maybe SAT time?

I will try to not flash the recovery because I think TWRP is a better option at the moment?

The problem is that I can´t find any Oreo ROM that I can flash with TWRP and it would be awesome if someone share one although if it is very unstable just to be able to recover an OS.

Ramdisk kernel would be boot.img and recovery_ramdisk the recovery?

I have tried and it doesn´t recognise it so I think they are not the corresponding files it seems....

just download all 3 update packages of oreo from firmware finder. unpack them with huawei extract tool and you will have all partitions images. Or if you have erecovery pay 10 bucks to funky huawei and they will help you.

I have a SAT near home, if they don´t help I will do the funky option...

If anyone needs, can use my DC-Phoenix account, I don`t need it anymore.

3. Type the following command to flash the recovery:-
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Is it possible to flash Magisk and root Stock Sony Firmware now?
How to get vbmeta.img?

I think yes, you'll just need to disable the verity checks:
Bash:
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
For the needed images: You may extract them from Sonys .sin files or (I think) as you disable the checks anyways, you could use the .img-s from any other rom for that device.

Thank you, I´ll give it a try after I downloaded Stock Firmware.

Thank you, works great !

You can also root stock firmware with Magisk and fastboot, without the need of TWRP.

Does stock twrp 20201115 work with android 11.

Can adroid 11 use it？

Hi guys, i am a newbie here. I have a Sony xperia 10ii and want to root it so that i can install viper4android to improve its music experience. Can someone tell me how to do it step by step coz i havent found a conclusive method yet in the forums? thanks

Follow this guide to unlock the bootloader. Once the bootloader's unlocked you can follow any guides on this forum to install any of these ROMs or recoveries. If all you want to do is root it, then you'll have to follow a Magisk installation guide and you'll need the firmware for the phone so you can extract the boot.img for Magisk to patch. Use XperiFirm here to download the proper stock firmware for your phone, then follow this Magisk installation guide using the boot.img you extracted from the stock firmware to get it rooted with Magisk.

Thanks for your response. i unlocked the bootloader, installed the magisk apk in my phone and downloaded the firmware using xperifirm. where is the boot.img file that will be rooted with magisk?cant find it in the firmware folder.

Hmm that's a good question. Looks like you'll need a few more things.
Use the "boot_X-FLASH-ALL.sin" file you'll find in the firmware folder you downloaded. In my case I would use the Customized UK XQ-AU52 one, but depends on what model you have or are using. If you have trouble knowing what model/region your phone is then use the Emma tool from Sony directly and it'll tell you what firmware you use (this is also useful to keep around should you need to do a full factory reset for any reason).
With that boot.sin file, use UnSIN to convert the file into an .img file and rename to boot.img. That should ideally work.
Please keep in mind that I cannot confirm this to be totally correct! I use LineageOS which provides a boot.img file in the zip already, so have never done this method to root my phone with the stock OS. I would advise looking around forums and doing a few more Google searches for your own sake just to be sure. But so far as I am aware this is the proper method! When all else fails, factory reset and try again.

Yes my phone is a Sony xperia 10ii XQ-AU52.
I converted the boot_X-FLASH-ALL.sin using the unsin software and managed to run the commands as given in the magisk guide page. After successfully doing so, well the phone got stuck in a bootloop, so i had to use Emma to restore it. so am back where i started again.hehe

Ah yes, I was worried that may happen... I had my own issues trying to flash bits and pieces of the firmware versus just flashing the whole thing itself.
Unfortunately that's the best advice I know to give. Only other thing I could say is perhaps try flashing the entire firmware package downloaded via Xperifirm to your device using Newflasher, and THEN do the UnSIN and try again with the boot.img since you'll be certain that the boot files align with one another. Could be an issue that the boot.img for that firmware isn't compatible with the firmware you had already installed on your phone?

Hello Dear People i got a Question because i dont wanna break my Phone or something like that i have the Sony Xperia 10 II and it seems like this Version is a little bit Older !(meant TWRP)! It has the Newest Update etc etc Android 11 and its Unlocket Complety (Bootloader) Is this working with this Version here still or is there a better Version to use at the moment i tried a lot on my Phone in the couple of days but sadly a lot of work from me got resetet at the end ( because i needed to so i would be really Thankfull for the Help :>D

Можно ли использовать TWRP в android 11？

Android 11 does not seem to work normally, will it continue to be updated?

感谢楼主！！
最近我安装magisk后，使用“"选择并修补一个文件"时，遇到了下述错误——

many thanks

i have a question: what's the difference between twrp-20201115-SODP.zip and twrp-20201115-stock.zip?

now i have another question, it seems that twrp doesn't work well:
Is twrp outdate?
i tried to install Magisk-v20.4.zip, but failed which showed like below

Question Where to find a boot.img for [Maltose]?

I made the mistake of reading that the firmware is the same for all three 10S models, and accidentally flashed the wrong magisk-patched boot.img.
Now, to fix my phone i Need to flash the original boot.img, but I can't find online the ROM for the Maltose variant.
Anyone can help?

I was able to find a dump of the file from here. And though that fixed my boot issue (note: the dump says it's for MIUI V12.5.14.0, whereas my phone has version V12.5.13), I still can't get root because when I patch that file with Magisk, and flash it via fastboot, it doesn't boot, and goes to FastBoot until I reflash the original.
So, the question now is, where can I find a patched boot.img for [Maltose]?
Since there's nearly no threads regarding Maltose, it might be best to leave this thread here for future reference of other users.

maltose is rosemary

Okay, that seems correct. I downloaded the RoseMary IMG version 12.5.13.0 and extracted the boot.img file, after flashing it on my device's boot A & B partitions, it does boot correctly.
I am still having issues rooting my phone, but I guess that's a different issue and requires it's own topic.

Question The current image(boot/recovery) have been destroyed and can not boot.

How to solve it? I dont really know much about it

flash stock boot.img and recovery.img of the same firmware version

if you're trying to root your Realme 8 don't forget to flash A19 partitions first, you can get the files in one of tony's thread.

[URGENT] Can someone give me the patched vbmeta.img file for Realme c3?

I want to install twrp on my realme c3. However, I couldnot find any patched vbmeta.img file to disable verified boot. Does anyone have this file? If not so then how can i create my own patched vbmeta.img file?

Are not. It is paid software.

Also if i flash stock vbmeta.img after flashing twrp but use the command: fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
will it remove verification and then flash or will it flash the vbmeta.img in its original form?
