About
The WinDroid Toolkit is a Windows program built in Visual Studio using the C# programming language that simplifies the rooting process for many Android devices. The toolkit makes it easy to unlock your bootloader, flash a custom recovery and gain permanent root. It also includes other functions such as flashing kernels, pushing files and installing apps. If you find it helpful, give me a thanks and a donation if you can. If you find a bug or have a feature request, feel free to leave a reply. Thanks!

WOW! That's just awesome!
Certainly I'll use this when my X Play arrives

Did anyone try this nifty tool yet? Looks promising!

that looks amazing, can anyone confirm it's working? I'm getting the XT1563 version soon

working flawlessly. thanks

Seems really promising! I am having a slight issue however.
After unlucking the bootloader succesfully, when i proceed to flash twrp, it says success. However, when I boot into recovery, i get the classic "Resting Android robot" saying "No Command"

after installing custom recovery using tool-kit and directly reboot to recovery from fastboot menu, then mount system and rename the install-recovery.sh :good:

Awesome tool. I just have one question. Is it possible to relock the bootloader without losing root? I unlocked bootloader manually, I boot twrp (not flashed, just boot) and installed SuperSU. So I still have the stock recovery, but I'd like to relock the bootloader without having to lose root.

I want to relock the bootloader but keep root. I don't want to lose root or busybox as I need them for several functions. I just want to get rid of the annoying warning on boot that says I have an unlocked bootloader.

After rooting my moto battery life has benn reduced. Anyone has this problem too?

Hi guys! Just receive my new moto x play today and want to root it! Its good to go with this tool?!

I've used the tool to unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP. Worked smooth and didn't really have any issues. I did had to flash TWRP twice, but that might have been an error on my part for not looking at my phone after the first flash attempt. SU installed via on screen notifications after booting into recovery, worked like a charm too.
I recommend this tool as it takes away a load of work, especially with the bootloader unlock.

When trying to boot in recovery i got "No Command" while the device is unlocked and i tried to flash new recovery...
EDIT:
You must enable "OEM unlock" after the reboot

SM-G960FD Flash Stock Firmware gets stuck on recovery.img

Hello all, So I have been flashing for years but I am a complete nOOb. Ive just spent 4 hours looking around the internet and XDA for a solution to this issue... Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciate it!
First off when I received this phone I waited the 7 days for Samsung's new security feature (I came from a S5 so this was a shock). Flashed TWRP with no issues. Proceeded over a few weeks to flash Lineage, Resurrection remix, and then tried to flash Light ROM for the s9. Had some issues with that so I flashed back to Stock Firmware no issue and have been using the past month. Now that I am not busy again I wanted to get twrp back on my phone but OEM unlock was not available. Thought that was weird seeing as the up time was well over the 168 hour marker so I decided to factory reset just to see if that would reset it. I waited the 7 days again and still wasnt there. So I wanted to Flash Stock rom again but now whenever I do it this pops up on the download screen:
sw rev. check fail (bootloader) device 2, binary 1
and Odin is stuck on the recovery.img protion.
Please let me know if you an help or if more info is needed!

Check you're not trying to downgrade the bootloader as shown here
G960FXXU2BRGA << Version 2
Check which version it says in Download mode (B:1 or B:2)
Either match it or flash a higher version

Great call! Just dug into it some more and thats the issue. Since the PAK CSC isnt on U2 yet im going to flash one from another country. I know you can but ive never heard of the downsides of flashing another countries firmware... is there one? Also have you heard of the issue with the oem unlock not appearing after 7 days?
Edit: Also what is the proper way to give you credit for answering the question as well as pointing out a good answer for people in the future who are confused? Just the thanks button?
Update: I tried again with a swiss one with Version 2 but it still failed. Ill download a few and try them as well just to be sure.

Yea just hit the thanks button if someone helped (I don't see your image)
Only real downsides I've heard of are things like VoLTE and WiFi calling not being active on certain CSCs
Check the "Repartition" option in ODIN 3.13.1 settings too, possible the custom ROM messed them up
OEM unlock does seem to be hit and miss for some people, some get it immediately (I did), some wait 7 days, others wait 7 days and nothing, not seen a solution other than just keep waiting yet

Eh im not to worried about VoLTE or WifiCalling so thats good but I was under the impression you needed a PIT file to re-partition your phone without bricking it? (No clue whata PIT file is , just remember reading that about 5 years ago)
Hmm thats annoying.... the idea for this security is nice but it is sure a hassle for people who want custom binaries.

PIT file is now included in the CSC part of the firmware (Partition Information Table)
Yea Samsung have really gone to town on locking down devices lately, I haven't even bothered rooting a phone since my S5, had an S7 and now S9 since then, just left them stock

God, I loved the S5... solid phone. Had it up to just 3 months ago when I got the s9.
I had just tried to flash the firmware I just used and failed with. But I clicked to fast and forgot to check the box for it to re-partition with. Weirdly enough it flashed with no issue... I have no clue what happened but it must have just been those 1s and 0s being finicky. Thanks for the info about the bootloader ect though.... you have been a huge help brother

I am also stuck at recovery.img in Odin, while downgrading to a 6 months older stock firmware. The long story short - I want the older firmware because I have a TWRP backup done while this older stock rom was installed on my phone. When upgraded to the new stock firmware, I lost root and restored the TWRP backup (incl. boot) but in the end it the phone doesn't start up. So I want to install the older stock rom in order to be able to restore the TWRP backup. Any ideas how to do that? My only wish is to have a phone that boots and to which I can restore the TWRP backup (where all my apps and settings are).
Update: managed to flash the new firmare, I obviously cannot flash the older firmware because of the older bootloader. So, any ideas how to restore the TWRP backup (made when the old firmware was installed) while the new firmware is currently installed?

Nope, root is not needed.
Things to check: Do you have the most recent Odin? Did you download firmware for the correct Tab S4 model? Are you installing an older firmware over a newer version already on the tablet? Did you enter the right parts in the right slots in Odin?
I lean toward the thorough/careful side, so I recommend you start over from the beginning, making sure you have all the right stuff. In order to download the right firmware, you need three pieces of information up-front.
(1) Your Tab S4 Model Number
I have the WIFI edition, which has the model number SM-T830.
Go to: Settings -> About Tablet
It shows "Model number" just below the tablet name and [EDIT] button.
(2) Your Firmware Version - "Build Number"
Go to: Settings -> About Tablet -> Software information
Scroll to "Build number"
Installing a firmware with a matching version, or newer (last 4 letters, alphabetical order: ARK4 is newer than ARJ4).
Mine shows "M1AJQ.T830XXU2ARK4", which is the latest version (as of post date) for the SM-T830.
(3) Your "Carrier" or "Service provider"
Same screen as step #2
Settings -> About Tablet -> Software information
Scroll down to "Service provider / SW ver."
The last line in this section is a 3 letter code identifying your carrier.
Mine shows "XAR//", so it's XAR.
Now, go to sammobile.com to download your firmware. You can enter your model number (from step #1) in the search field.
As I mentioned before, my model is the SM-T830.
When you get to the page for your Tab S4 model, scroll down a tad bit and look at the section "LATEST FIRMWARES" and click on the "Select country" list. The list shows a country and the 3-letter code from step #3. My XAR appears in the list as "Cellular south (XAR)"... for some reason that's how Samsung lists the WIFI model for the USA.
After selecting, you will now see a list of firmware releases with dates. You can either just click the most-recent, or check against your firmware from Step #2. Compare the PDA field to your firmware version. My firmware appears in the list as: "2018-12-09 8.1.0 T830XXU2ARK4 T830OXM2ARK4", so I clicked that one (or something more recent if I want the newest). Clicking takes you to the download screen.
You can download via the "WAIT & DOWNLOAD" button, which takes about 2 or 3 hours (they meant it when they said "wait").
Please note on the right side of the page, you will see "INSTRUCTIONS (5 FILES)" which detail how to flash. The first line in the instructions tells you the most recent Odin version (v3.13.1) and provides a link to download it. The rest of the instructions tell you exactly what to do in order to flash. I followed them, though I left the CP slot blank since my model's firmware did not include the CP image.

@EatingPie
if you look at the previous post that is exactly what I did .... and nothing would load ... no error message .... just FAIL
someone suggested using USB 2.0 ... I would think the computer would do that automatically
I do not have a working system to look at some of the things you suggested ... I have a factory binary
I think I have an expensive paperweight
I think I will wait a month or so and see if anyone can come up with an answer

Your flashing firmware this is not intended for your device, plain and simple.
You will also have a message on the device screen that will tell you the reason as well as the authorisation fail in Odin.
If you want to attempt to flash firmware not intended for your device, you need to be oem unlocked and rmm unlocked.

If you read the first response it says to use SMARTSWITCH. there is no reference to ODIN. if you install SMARTSWITCH on your computer it can restore the factory image. You need to provide the serial number from the device. (Usually printed on rear off device)

can confirm. i'm trading in my s4 for s7+ and even though I had just gone through the tedious process of rooting and twrp'ing the s7+ with odin (so fresh in my mind), it was still such a pain in the ass to try to figure out how to restore my s4 using odin. I fired up smartswitch for PC and it did it in about 30 minutes, one click.
coming from pixel phones, the way samsung rooting works in just crazy complicated to me.

Big thanks to him for finding out bout the most important part the modem....
Here we go... I am assuming y'all know adb and fastboot so leaving that out. But make sure you have latest oneplus drivers and adb cause fastbootd has to be used when flashing.
First read Craznazn post on unlocking bootloader. And he has a t-mobile magisk patched link you can use to flash read his post. After your backed up unlocked and rooted. Get this app from play store.

looks like this. Now this is gonna take a a min like 45-1 hour this is your phones active firmware. Mine ended up being 26gb. . While that's going go ahead and and get eu or global your gonna use from xda post or oneplus site full version only. I did global first could not update so I went ahead and did the eu ba 11.2.3.3 (updated one) everything is same works great.
After download use the payload extractor I hope y'all know how and what that is if not please stop and research. Label that folder after it's done global(eu) so I won't get confused. (Go ahead and patch the boot image if u want root);
Now on your phone find the zip file partition backup made for ya. Transfer it to pc. Extract it. Your gonna see some .img and .gz. it's gonna look like
( On the .img file I went ahead and erased the 2021-04-15 part)
Then I but both roms side by side and this is very important what I did was took the boot.img and renamed it to orginaleu/globalboot.img from the global/eu folder and placed renamed the magisk patched to boot.imgand place in the global folder.
IMPORTANT IF YOU WANT DATA TO WORK AT ALL. TAKE YOUR MODEM AND MODEMST1 AND MODEMST2 FILE OUT OF YOUR TMOBILE FIRMWARE FOLDER COPY THEM TO THE GLOBAL/EU FOLDER IF NOT YOUR NOT GONNA HAVE NO DATA NO SERVICE AT ALL. AND TAKE THE CARRIER.IMG FILE FROM TMOBILE FOLDER AND COPY IT OVER TOO.
I made this flashall.bat it worked just fine. I might have left out a few partitions but it is all good. Now on pc open a blank text document and copy and paste the change2 flashall.bat.txt and save as flashall.bat. put one in each folder and there conversation folder in one and the recovery folder in the t-mobile firmware folder. To flash just adb reboot bootloader then fastboot reboot fastboot. Make sure your in fastbootd. Screen will look like the recovery screen but it will say fastbootd. Once there click on the flashall.bat and let it do it thing. It may take like 5 mins to boot. Now if it stuck on the oneplus boot animation. Go back to. Fastboot and -- set-active =a or b. And if your rom acts little jumpy or crazy go back and check the boot.img u flashed might hot them mixed up.
My first guide maybe this will help you til the msmtool is ready. I know it get frustrating sometimes that's why I tried to describe much as I can

Anyone happen to have a back up of the stock Tmo firmware? I managed to get everything installed, but borked the mobile network after trying to OTA and preserve magisk. Restoring my backup partitions did nothing.

No, I'm gonna support @amaroney55 on this guide. If you can't follow the guide or don't have the time to follow the guide, then you won't be able to troubleshoot it or have the time to troubleshoot it when something breaks. This is not a straightforward conversion and you may very well hard brick.

So I just got the 11.2.4.4ba update from the real system updated. It did everything it was supposed even magisk into other slot rebooted. Ok after reboot you will not have service you will have to flash tmo- modem.img to modem_a and _b. And flash the MODEMST1 and MODEMST2. Then you will have service again

Should only need to flash modem to the active slot, and shouldn't need to flash modemsts, those are not touched even by MSM

This is the thread about converting from tmo-global(eu). I flashed the modems only and still didn't have service. I had to flash all 4

Idk let me check really fast. Nope still single.

Tbh. I don't use my camera like that. I use it everyday just for proof of delivery. But I don't really pay attention. But I do has the riru magisk installed with LS mod it has the every feature enabler for OnePlus cameras on it.

Very nice guide and there is only one thing I want to point out is there is A typo in your script (I guess)
you have 2 "fastboot flash system_ext_a system_ext.img" which I think one of them should be
"fastboot flash system_ext_b system_ext.img".
Took me a while to figure out, I got boot loop and bunches of errors like "Not enough space to resize partition" if I don't change it, after changing, everything back to normal.
Thanks again for this helpful guide!

We have a true recovery. All phones do.

im talking about twrp

TWRP is worthless for this kind of procedure and there's not a sufficiently working TWRP build for Android 11.
You want an MSM unbrick tool, not TWRP.

You are half right with the MSM unbrick tool, Twrp would still be helpful as you stated there isnt any so we will have to wait on both

Question Can't register fingerprints

After updating the requisite firmware, I performed a clean flash of the latest CRDroid build (previously I was using the March 28) build. During the initial setup, as well as after through the regular settings page, I was unable to register any of my fingerprints to the biometric unlock. In the setup screen, the UDFPS lights up when pressed (see screenshot), but no matter how long I keep my finger pressed on it the print will not register. I have rebooted, clean flashed, and dirty flashed the ROM, and the problem appears every time. I have tried installing both with and without GApps. I even tried flashing LineageOS instead of CRDroid, and I had the same issue. What steps should I be taking to troubleshoot this?

Do you have the backup of persist partion?

No, the only backup I have of my previous install is the Swift Backup of apps and settings.

Try going to stock and check if the fingerprint is working. If its working then it may be a bug. If not then I think you have over written the persist partition.

What's the easiest way to revert to Stock? Should I just download one of the packages in the pinned post on this forum and sideload?
And if my persist partition is corrupted, what recourse do I have?

Try MSM tool. Probably one or both slots are derped. Also maybe you use wrong base firmware for these roms

If persist partition is corrupted you have no other choice except to give your phone to OnePlus service center as this is unique for every phone.

MSM Tool worked fine, but I was also unable to enroll there. Seems my only choice is to find a OP service center and get the phone sent out.

Just dont forget to lock your bootloader and say that the new update broke your phone. BTW dont forget to take a backup of persist.img when you flash a new rom.

Yeah I have one stored in the cloud before I ever even unlocked bl. Can't just use any model persist partition..it's particular to each device. Sending in is only option or don't use fp option.

There's also a way to re-register it. Had this happen on my 8. Just didn't work the same since.

How did you back it up before unlocking the bootloader? Wouldn't you need to unlock the bootloader in order to root your device to access the root directory?
Also, is there any other root directory I should back up after I get my phone back, besides persist?

I think he took the backup via Partitions Backupper app which was the same app I used take a backup of my persist.img. But the app requires super user access to take backup.

Can you please mention the steps and what are the backsides of doing this?

Many ways to accomplish without root. And you back up the persist partition. Not root directory. Msm Read back with F8. Then find persist and send it to the root directory of C drive with Read back feature. . Password oneplus

Just search xda. Pretty sure it's on the OnePlus 8 or 8T forums.
