Bad root! please help!

Hi, I managed to unlock my nexus 7 and install the latest TWRP.
But now I cant boot to the OS! It says no OS despite me not wiping that.
Within TWRP it says "no valid storage partitions found for mtp"
I cant format anything or do a factory reset!
Can anyone help me?

So..I have TWRP 3.0.2.2 flashed via ADB yesterday.And it works perfectly fine,but it gives me the same error as in 2.8.7.0 and is very hard for me to live without ROOT.I've thinking to root it via ADB...again as I did with stock ROM. Now of u can give me instructions about flashing zips via ADB it would be PERFECT!

Then flash it as an image using your existing TWRP.
It will confirm on which partition youll flash it, select 'recovery'
Once done, reboot.
Proceed to recovery and then flash the SU package provided in LOS thread.
You might want to consider downloading the SU zip add on just to ensure that your file is not corrupted.

Guide flash rom WW to ROG 2 CN 8/128

1. App unlock bootloader: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...SIGNED_UnlockTool_9.1.0.10_190702_fulldpi.apk
2.Rom: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1HxSqpE83FW1U_k8WxCfaTkMUEAbS2QH-
In folder, file boot.img patched to root, no bootloop and wifi working.
3. Minimal ADB: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569952951
Step:
S1. Unlock bootloader by app unlock
S2.
a. Install Minimal ADB, copy 21 file .img to C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
b. Flash 21 file img in fastboot mode (power + volumeup) using usb type C side of ROG Phone):
Run cmd-here.exe, command:
fastboot flash ***.img (*** same with name 21 file img, do not rename file)
EX: fastboot flash system system.im
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Boot in to recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset then reboot system!
Done.
Sorry for my poor English
Mod edit: Deleted!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat - if this is real, awesome job.

Damnnn good..but i'm afraid to try it

Could u explan more
After this ww rom will be installed? What about upgrade?
I mean can i do future update once in convert to ww rom ?

A Video would be nice (not doubting that this simple guide doesn't work) but to proof that indeed this method works) someone please be kind to post a video.
also, does flashing this WW ROM deletes all personal data? or does it flash like an update retaining data?

wow!!
is it works??
and is it without root??

Will OTA updates work on this? Also, could you rewrite the guide some parts are a bit confusing

It works. No OTA from now on though, without a patched boot.img the phone will always go into a bootloop. Some people have reported dead camera after WWE conversion.

"Some people have reported dead camera after WWE conversion. "
Is there more infomation about this? forum link or screenshot?
Thanks.

In my tele, 2 member rp dead camera, they reflash rom CN then reflash WW, evething ok expect setting theme not working

Can someone state the major differences between the two roms?. I don't see the point of losing OTA and warranty unless you need the stock UI, other than that i don't see any advantages. By the way can someone confirm the call recording option is still there with the WW Rom.

Yes Please, I Would also like to know the major differences..
Just to evaluate whether losing OTA is worth going to WW Rom.

Hello Guys, I messed up as I did not unlock bootloader first before flashing it from fastboot. Now I have a bootloop. Can anyone help me how to reflash CN. I have a lock bootloader. Thank you very much.

Unlocking BL also voids the Widevine L1 DRM btw, proceed at your own risk.

Can anyone help me how to unlock the bootloader via fastboot since I cannot get in the software as I have a bootloop. I greatly appreciate it as I have been figuring out this for the past 5 hours. Thank you.

You cannot unlock without the app. Hold the power and volume up key when the phone boots up until you enter the bootloader menu then using the volume keys navigate to recovery option from there just do a factory reset.

Hello Rashad83, I went to recovery and did a factory reset,but it still bootloop. I have a tencent ROG phone II model.

What did you do to get the bootloop in the first place, if you don't mind me asking?

I tried fastboot flash vendor vendor.img then it says parse error due to lock state, then after that I rebooted it then it just bootloop.

Rooting chinese version with global rom.

Dude, flash miui fastboot ROM like this (search on YT):
HOW TO FLASH MIUI via FASTBOOT - REDMI NOTE 8 PRO
tha channel name is Konah the Begonia Guardian
*chose your version like pggcnxm

buddy how do you know that you have Chinese version with global rom.
i have this device but not sure if it is global or not

I'm using cn and moved to global.
Here is what I have done:
- Unlock
- Flash fastboot global rom (Only A9 available)
- Update to latest
- Flash orangefox
- Use TWRP's guide to flash vbmeta to disable and avoid tripping AVB (see TWRP thread)
- Boot to system once
- Reboot to recovery
- ...
- Profit
The trickiest part is when flashing recovery. If you don't enter the recovery after entering "fastboot reboot" command, your recovery would likely be replaced. Hold vol+ when entering command.
Be carefull when updating. If you have not flashed a MIUI full rom on orangefox, you cannot do incremental update, so go with full rom once. Also I have bootloop once, and fortunately escaped. Here is my solution (need someone to test, since this is my daily driver)
- Vanillafy everything (uninstall magisk, restore stock boot.img, restore stock recovery)
- Update
- Customize everything
OR
- After flashing update, dont reboot to system. It will likely to trip AVB. Flash vbmeta once and try to reboot.
If you have tried second update method and succeeded, please do tell.
Hope this help.

From the packaging, if you have a red box, it's chinese. If white, it's global.
From rom version. If it says someting like "QGGMIXM", it's global. If it says "QCGMIXM" or something like that, it's chinese.

pretty simple bro, just return to miui 11 first because I fear you can brick, after that, just flash any twrp for a10 or a9 (depending of your android version) then wipe dalvik, cache, data.
**miui is problematic flashing in different versions, in my video I recommended donwgrade first

I have the same situation.
Mine was worst. I didn't know my phone was chinese with global rom, 'cause the chinese sold me 'global version', and sent it in white box, but it's the chinese version with global rom.
Well, I tried following a few tutorials, but all after fastboot twrp, close AVB, install ROOT and reboot, started bootlooping and I had to flash global rom again with mi flash. Can't get root access / magisk.
Did you solve that? Please, guide us.

You can, working flawlessly. But once go global, never lock your bootloader.

You can use below TWRP Thanks LR Team. (I tired Miui 12 with CH Device)
install TWRP in fastboot
Reboot TWRP after Advanced >File Manager > delete "system_root/system/recovery_fromboot.p"
Again Advanced > install root
Finish.
https://mega.nz/file/7E5QhS6Y#hzCpPWwxO4104R0oJRTv0L1_-lNb5D1pgYp9h4oJfVM
if bootloop restart TWRP>Advanced>Remove AVB 2.0
Advanced >File Manager > delete "system_root/system/recovery_fromboot.p"
Again "Advanced > install root"

can not pass saftynet ctsprofile

Please, help me to enable root access on my CD with Global Rom MIUI 12

Hi.
Please, can anyone tell me a way that really works for enable root access from magisk to my chinese device unlocked with global rom MIUI 12 / Android 10?
Every tutorial I follow, I got bootlooping.
I tried Boot Image Patching tutorial from magisk, which consists in installing magisk manager apk, patching the stock boot.img and fastboot flash the new boot.img.
Result: bootlooping, and I had to flash stock boot.img again to solve.
Flashing UNOFFICIAL TWRP by wzsx150 for Android 10, mounting system, deleting recovery-from-boot.p, closing avb 2.0, installing root and reboot. Result: bootlooping. To solve this I had to flash stock boot and recovery.
Tried to not delete recovery-from-boot, tried to install TWRP + directly magisk from oficial zip. Results: bootlooping
I even tried to flash from miflash tool original firmware "begonia_global_images_V12.0.2.0.QGGMIXM_20200710.0000.00_10.0_global_5c06839838", changing the boot.img for the patched from magisk. Bootlooping.
Anyone, please?!

Is your device chinese and your rom global with MIUI 12, same as mine?
About the safetynet, dunno what is your problem, but since earlier this year, every phone with bootlooader unlocked, CTS profile fails, but basic integrity pass.
