Achieving root and stable recovery without a PC - Using another android device - - Moto G7 Power Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello,.
Apologies in advance, to those who may or may not have to better place this query.
Its been awhile since I ve been through the forums, and haven't done any noob-copy-dev device turning, for 7 or so years
However I do seem to remember having flashed the very first device --HTC-- that android powered commercially. (kudos JesusFreak)
It got me curious as to the ability of one android device, in this case a Stock - US RETAIL Moto Power G (2021) - being able to connect to my MetroPCS Stock Moto Power g7 and work as the interface for accomplishing root?
I hear somewhere that the device being connected has to have root and so IDK..
Just a toss in the dark..
Appreciate those with patience and knowledge for share.
Thanks Core

A Request to "Maclaw" | Porting CM 9 of Galaxy Ace to Motorola Fire XT

Hi there.. ,
I am a new member so posting my PM content composed for "Maclaw" here in form of a request thread.

I need your kind help in porting your "CyanogenMod 9.0.0 Release for Samsung Galaxy Ace" <<TO>> Motorola Fire XT (Also known as Motorola Fire XT XT530, Motorola XT531, Motorola SPICE XT) as the hardware for both of these phones is very much identical.
Many owners of fire XT have already rooted their phone successfully . (just waiting or a custom ROM support )
As per your post here the release is beta "5" mode (CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0-GT-S5830-GalaxyICS-KANG-beta5).
Many members across XDA are looking forward to have a custom ROM for this smartphone. Please help me/us; the stock gingerbread sucks.
I am ready to help you but as I actually don't own the phone till now* (buying soon) BUT others who do own it will get back to you.
I think that as the hardware specs are nearly identical then in that case we shouldn't face any serious problems while porting it to motorola fire xt.
Waiting for a positive reply,

Thanks & Regards,

Unfortunately the project is called GALAXYics, It's to port ics to the low-end Samsung Galaxy phones. That is why mikegapinski's project for lg-gt540 is not in Galaxyics (it's built on it though)
But who knows I might have misunderstood it completely, but for now it's probably not gonna happen, sorry

The problem is not really porting the OS itself. It is finding a way to boot it on our phones that poses the challenge. Motorola uses secure boot and does not allow unlocking the boot loader.
I tried overcoming this problem by faking signatures, but ended up bricking the phone.
After some reading, I found out that all modern motorola phones have the same problem. Devs were able to load clockwork mod without touching the stock recovery or interfering with secure boot. This was done by a process called boot strapping (or 2nd-init). This requires a more skilled person than me.
Once we get clockwork mod on our Fire XT, porting ICS to our phone would be a piece of cake especially building upon the work of Maclaw for the ace.

Then how come there's a lot of development of other motorola phones such as Defy?
cddddddddddddddddddddd c...
now this probably wont work on your phone. but on ours we managed to use 'boot hijacking' to load a recovery on stock. this just edited the chargemon and if we spammed back it loaded a recovery. we then flashed gb and froyo on the stock kernel till thelaser hacked the bootloader

Sailfish for Nexus 7 - Unable to flash bootable image
First and foremost, my thanks to the excellent work by Vadim Rutkovsky with his ported image of Sailfish OS to the flo Nexus 7. I am no developer, preferring to stand on the sidelines and holler team fighting songs (badly out-of-tune and in complete oblivion as to what is actually happening). Sadly, I am not a smart man and was unable to conquer this most recent challenge. Each time that I fail, however, I calmly and methodically assess the situation, and then I loudly blame anyone who is not around or somebody near me who is not big enough to hurt me.
Flashing the images was not the problem. Couldn't get past the Google splash screen on startup - tried the following:
- switched recovery versions (Philz, TWRP, Clockwork, and MultRom) - no joy
- switched kernels (needs a hard boot patch) - nuthin'
- flashed various CMod variations (KitKat and Jellybean)
- stepped away for a moment and returned to find my cat walking across my keyboard
- yelled at my cat, she didn't move
- tried sideloading via ADB, pushed cat away from keyboard
- got scratched by my cat, bled and felt sorry for myself
- tried loading via Wug - fizzled
- flashed back to KitKat stock and tried again, then to Jellybean... same-same
So, I'll let it rest for now and then attempt again later.

Community development strength

You're a power user. Can the Huawei Mate 9 Pro keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Huawei Mate 9 Pro. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
This is a weak spot as it's no well known worldwide. Dev's are not too many and custom ROMs or even Official Updates are missing.
Official updates are excellent and fast since android 8 dropped. I usually get security updates the same month they are for. But it's true, no real custom rom development as of yet. Hopefully we get better sw once Project Treble compatible roms are available.
The Phone is good enough. Nothing spectacular. When I got the root sorted by using the Krom root, the phone is stable. I have high hopes and expectations for the resurrection remix ROM via the openkirin project, in my opinion the best ROM out there.

Would you please explain how did you root your phone with mentioned method (kroom root) ?
Do you think I will be able to root my phone Huawei Mate 9 PRO (LON-L29 8.0.0.378(C432)
I have been searching for root for a long time now, but I am very confused since there isn't really good community around this model.
I hope somebody will be able to help rooting my phone.
Thank you in advance guys

Assuming you have unlocked the bootloader.
You can download Krom from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9-pro/development/kangvip-rom-b354-mate-9-pro-links-t3790605
When you unzip the rom files, you will find Run.bat Run that file and when it's time to install, you get to the install menu, you select option 2 instead of option 1. Your phone will then be rooted and reboot. Enjoy.

I will try it as soon as I have time and write back here.
But in download section of kangvip roms the latest version of kangvip is m9pro... E.8..370, mine is 378 do you think it is going to be problem if I use that, or should I try to downgrade somehow?

I rooted my 378 with the same kangvip installer that I used for 370.

Thank you very much for the support. I am still searching for the best way to get root to bypass safetynet. It seems like magisk root is best way to do so. I am also looking for twrp supports decryption, I might have found one I didn't try it yet. This is the link https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3783353

Thank you for the reply man...
Well I guess I will not be able to root after all since I don't have the bootloader code. I contacted Huawei support, they do not promise anything but there is still a tiny hope.
I know there is options like DC unlocker etc but I didn't get / read any confirmation about that anyone have successfully rooted their mate 9 pro [No EXTERNAL SD double sim version (LON-L29)] with a DC given code.
In this point I don't know what to do. Even if if I somehow manage to get the bootloader code I still need to find proper magisk root method. Mate 9 pro has no good community unfortunately.
I know my next phone is gonna be root friendly device like One Plus 6 or Google phone etc.
I hate not having full control of my own device.

I'm with you on this one.
Owning this device has taught me a few life long lessons:
1. Buy a popular phone, more spare parts, cheaper repair
2. Buy a popular phone, more community support and custom ROMs
3. Buy a popular phone, cheaper, especially second hand, which I personally prefer
4. Buy a popular phone, got an issue? Someone else already solved it
5. ???
6. Profit

Request: Paranoid Android For the LG G4

With the advent of a bootloader unlock coming within the next few days for all LG G4's (thanks to steadfasterX ) I'm excited to finally resurrect my LG G4's ; one currently on Marshmallow just being awesome and one on Lollipop with the dreaded bootloop but stable with the 4 Core Disable. I'm excited to see what sort of development will happen from here on out but also know this is just the beginning for all those individuals who have been stuck with a locked bootloader. I was hoping to see Paranoid Android or a variant thereof available for the H815 to flash but it doesn't seem like it's available. I find Pi control invaluable over the standard stock navigation and while it's possible to use with LMT on Lollipop (which is what I currently do) I was hoping to see a rom with all or some of AOSPA's features. If it's possible this is being worked on or if I may ask that someone consider developing it I know me and a few others who have been waiting for the time to unlock our bootloaders would be greatly appreciated.
Here's a link to the last thread I found on the subject https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/paranoid-android-returns-t3395210

Whats up Everyone what is the best fastest Custom Rom with 8.1 Oreo for Nexus 7

Whats up Guys its been while since I last posted and used my Nexus.
I Iam now using it for Uber eats all day.
I have seen there is several roms running 8.1 Oreo. I wanted to know what would everyone say is the best one that would feel and perform as fast as my Galaxy 8 running 8.0 Oreo.
I am Currently not rooted yet on the Nexus 7 so I know you will tell me to get Team win recovery and root first.
Also its been years since I have rooted lol with team win.
I just want the Tablet to feel extremely fast and be able to customize it as much as the rom lets me. I wanted your opinon on how much faster and snapier it will be after 8.1 Oreo. I really could not tell how fast my S8 was running until I started using the Nexus 7 again for comparison lol.
One thing I want to add as well is there way to make a complete backup of my entire device before unlocking the bootloader as in this video I found he says you have copy all filed on your computer.
Is there not a way to backup or complete a Mirror back up before unlocking and installing the boot loader again sorry guys I have not done a root in years so forgot the entire process from what I remember there was always a way to create a entire mirror backup before rooting or installing the boot loader.
Is there any other way to do this is faster way or more efficient proof since this video was filmed in 2013. So any way to root without factory resetting?
Here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k4rCaMPSQ8
I did find this as well from wug fresh one click rooot with twrp but still how would I make mirror save of my entire device before I root and install the recovery?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9CPMG6yIA4
Thanks guys
Hello guys not one answer yet? Please anyone that help me with tjhis it would be apreciated.
https://lineageos.wickenberg.nu/builds/full/flo/
Can't guarantee best/fastest but I have been having good luck with the UNOFFICIAL lineage builds at that link. They aren't necessarily 100% bug free but work very well for my usage (mostly browser, a few apps).
I used wugs unlock way back when and assume it would still work. I don't believe he still keeps it up so you may want to verify or check with other options.
This thread has way more than you will want about the rom and related issues;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ne...ment/rom-lineageos-15-0-nexus-7-2013-t3673103
A few key things to pay attention to:
- Find the updated twrp(s)
- Read about repartitioning so that system is large enough for the ever-expanding gapps
- most use magisk for root now rather than su
All I can think of right now. I'm far from expert. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in
Thanks man I just read your message now. I do have a question what about the oreo version?
I also have my asus prime running kitkat and it is just slow laggy and buggy as hell it not running like a smooth tablet at all. On the prime I have it rooted with team win 3.0.0
I just want both to be running as fast as my galaxy S8 or as close to it as possible. It seems crazy that Prime feels so slow in comparison when it has quad core processor.
Link and thread I linked are both Oreo
This is an unofficial oreo rom
