I can't update to Android 10 as I don't have an ATT Sim and the guide posted here requires 10. Is there any method to root a g8 on Android 9?
There are a few different root methods for Android 9, but we recommend the Magisk method. This method is relatively simple and should work on most devices.
Before you begin, you'll need to unlock your bootloader. This will void your warranty, so make sure you understand the risks before proceeding. Once your bootloader is unlocked, you can follow these steps to root your device:
1. Download the latest version of Magisk from the official website.
2. Boot your device into recovery mode. This will usually involve holding down a combination of buttons while your device boots up.
3. In recovery mode, select "Install" and choose the Magisk ZIP file that you downloaded.
4. Swipe to confirm the installation and then reboot your device.
5. You should now have root access!
Keep in mind that this process will likely wipe your data, so make sure to back up anything important before proceeding.

Hi,
Problem starting oneplus 3, let me explain.
1) purchased oneplus3, 4 months ago.
2) Rooted,updated oxygen 3.2.8 with TWRP recovery3021 and super SU 2.74-2
3) updated oxygen4.00 with twrp32128 and super SU 2.79SR2 everything was fine.
4) Received OTA update through VPN for oxygen 4.0.1 (30mb), installed but unable start instead it was always going into twrp mode.
5) i changed twrp recovery back to 3021 and install stock oxygen 3.2.8,was working fine.
6) Now i wanted to UNROOT the device and back to stock so that i can get OTA Oxygen 4 and 4.0.1.
7) i followed steps below,
a) downloaded oxygen 3.2.1 and stock recovery.img
a) fastbootloader, and connect device.
b) fastboot devices
c) fastboot fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
d) fastboot oem lock - when i used this command and accept YES, screen got black and no further instruction for ADBsideload.
8) i used to restart the device in recovery but black screen, fastboot loader working.
FASTBOOT MODE
PRODUCT NAME - ....
VARIANT - MTP UFS
BOOTLOADER VERSION -
BASEBAND VERSION -
SERIAL NUMBER - .....
SECURE BOOT - enabled
DEVICE STATE - locked
9) and if i start the device in normal it asked for screen pattern lock but my existing unlock pattern doesnt work.
10) by using all the chance for screen pattern unlock it showed DECRYPTION UNSUCCESSFULL, clicked on RESET PHONE but again screen black in recovery mode.
11) NOW if i start my device it again shows DECRYPTION UNSUCCESSFULL and asking for RESET PHONE......
What to do now.....

Device is back to stock, this method is used by One plus asstance for unbrick hard bricked device by remote control your PC. Then device is back to completly stock. No root no custom recovery etc. You Can now use OTA for update or using adb sideload or manually flash the entire ROM from sdcard. Thank you for appreciate :good:

just wanted to highlight the things you did that caused the issue
1- flashing the stock rom through twrp, it's possible specially with the latest TWR0-11 but not advisable, you better always flash stock recovery and then sideload rom (full rom not update) and then fast boot TWRP back and reflash root... any other method always causes issues...
2- the 30mg updates do not work on a rooted device
3- unrooting without immediately sideloading rom will always cause the black screen and loop to recovery, it's not required to unroot unless you want to go back to full stock experience...
4- this the biggest problem you made, you relocked the devices bootloader, you also did it while the device has a lot of issues (some mentioned above) so the device bricked instantly, if you are planning on unlocking the device again ...NEVER NEVER relock the device again , there's no need to do that , all you need to do to go back to a full stock experience is to wipe everything in TWRP , flash stock recovery then wipe everything again from there, then sideload full rom (latest stable version) , then for good majors in the new rom recovery wipe everything agian and boot to system and from system do a factory reset. then recharge your device to 100% and re encrypt it if it's not...after that you're 100% on a full stock exerience and will receive ota and it'll work... and at that state only (without root or TWRP) you can relock the bootloader (which is gain not necessary at all, there's no benefit to it)
Hello Everyone,
how to root Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL 2.15Ghz with Android 7.0?
It's possible? There are root solutions without unlocking bootloader?
Thank you
I believe you might be able to with a systemless root. This may cause issues though without the bootloader unlock.
What I'd do, and I've already unlocked my bootloader, is boot TWRP, this won't replace your recovery and will disappear next boot, then flash magisk systemless root.
This should allow root with a locked bootloader BUT I can't try this now as I have an unlocked bootloader.
You'd do this through fastboot.
Be prepared to reflash your stock rom if you do get a soft brick...

Thanks ultramag69 for info. Have you a guide for safe root? The only guide that seemed trustworthy that I found on the internet, unfortunately it was written in Chinese.

OK, if you are game...
As I said, my phone has bootloader unlocked so this worked fine, I don't know if it will work.
Essentailly you replace the stock recovery with TWRP TEMPORARILY, just one boot.
Download magisk systemless root file and put on sd card. Also activate developer settings and tick " USB Debugging".
Put TWRP file in folder with fastboot files on PC, hold shift and right click. Select "open CMD window here".
Put phone in fastboot mode. Attach to PC with usb.
Type in cmd window "fastboot devices", you should see you're serial number come up on another line if you are connected.
Type "fastboot boot twrp.img" - make sure the twrp file is named this.
You should reboot to TWRP. Make sure you DON'T select "Alter system files" as you're bootloader is locked.
Install magisk systemless root file from TWRP.
Reboot and see if it works...
As I said, I did this after I unlocked the bootloader but as magisk is a systemless root I don't see this not working.
That said there is always a risk when doing this sort of thing and I would urge you to unlock bootloader 1st as this makes it a bit easier to fix if things if something does go bad...
Yes, right. No root and TWRP for Anus ZendFone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL yet.
May be it become later. Right? Right!

If you unlock your bootloader then yes there is a TWRP you can flash and from there gain root by either flashing SuperSU or Magisk.
I prefer not to replace my recovery as when I was trying to gain root there was a problem with TWRP registering the touches in a reversed position, top right corner would register bottom left corner and so on. So instead I booted TWRP and installed Magisk, this gained root access but allowed flashing OTA updates instead of having to download a 2gb rom by keeping stock recovery.
Twrp has since been fixed and should be fine now but I still prefer to keep stock recovery, it's really up to you, either use "fastboot boot twrp.recovery" to temporarily replace stock (it reverts to stock when you reboot) or "fastboot flash twrp.recovery", this will flash twrp to your device permasnently (or until you want to replace it).
At the moment, magisk is not allowing safety net to pass but there should be an update soon that will fix this, flashing supersu will never allow a safetynet check to pass...
Again, up to you and how you use your device but either way will give you root access....

I have questions:
1. Where I can download fresh TWRP for Z016D model?
2. After install Magisk I must restart device for remove TWRP to stock recovery?
[ THE VZW VARIANT HAS A PERMALOCKED BOOTLOADER AND CANNOT BE ROOTED.]

------------------------
To be able to mount system as RW in TWRP you have to go to wipe and format data, after sliding right type yes and this will restore your system to stock unencrypted, once you're done doing that reboot to recovery (NOT SYSTEM) then flash dmnoverity and then whatever root method you prefer phh su, magisk etc.
SuperSU is currently experiencing issues with our firmware.

Follow the following at your own risk!
I am not responsible for any mishaps with your devices.
The short version is:
1. Unlock the boot loader
2. Boot twrp
3. Flash noverity and magisk
4. Reboot to root'd phone.
0. Prepare
Get the following:
i. Motorola usb drivers: your pc won't talk properly with the device without these. google around for these.
ii. adb and fastboot: used to unlock the bootloader and boot twrp https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
iv. no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1 zip: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4/how-to/moto-e-guide-to-rooting-t3652982/post74282478
v. Squid2's TWRP for the E4: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4/development/twrp-twrp-moto-g4-qualcomm-t3655160
vi: (optional) stock roms: in case you need to go back https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=195327 applying these with RSD lite (if RSD can *actually* detect your phone) or manually (
) should work.
0.1 Prepare the phone:
Get developer options on android and turn on "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging".
Test that your pc can see the phone by running:
0.2 Dump your zips onto the phone
1. Unlock the boot loader
The post here details how to unlock the motorola boot loader. Keep in mind it will probably void any warranty on the phone. This process involves signing up for a motorola account to get the unlock code.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72878183&postcount=2
2. Boot into bootloader using: adb reboot bootloader
2.1 Flash TWRP using: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
2.2 Now type fastboot reboot recovery and TWRP should start.
3. Flash magisk and no-verify zip
In twrp, go to wipe, format data and slide it, type yes this unencrypts the device. Now reboot the RECOVERY and set system as r/w. Now flash dmnoverity, and then flash magisk.
4. Reboot
That should be it. When you reboot back to android, install magisk manager if you haven't already and feel free to use your root.
Thank you so much for this! Seems like this can all be done on the phone itself? Does it require a microsd?
Sent from my Moto E (4) using Tapatalk
I'm not sure, since I have a micro SD I used it but you should be able to get away with it without one.
Also aside from unlocking the bootloader and booting into twrp from a pc the rest is done on the device.
Which version of the E4 can this be done? There is some variants of this.
I use the metro pcs snapdragon one, most other people are reporting success with other prepaid carriers I'm assuming most of them have the snapdragon variant.

I don't see how this is possible without a sd card, since you can't get root if you give TWRP access to your data, so where would you put the rooting files like the noverify zip and the magisk zip
True I didn't even think about that, yeah you need an SD card, and make sure it's formatted as external memory. After root you can reformat it to internal again If you wanted
i guess no root ever for xt1767 vz since bl can't be unlocked

More than likely no, unless your bootloader is unlocked there's not much you can do, and cross carrier roms might not work for everyone.

Why would you want to do that?
I read that the amazon variant has a boot loader that could be unlocked.

It doesn't work that way, flashing a different firmware won't change your bootloader unlocking capabilities, since to unlock the bootloader you need a code from Motorola, and they won't give it to you for the Verizon version.
Help!
"Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking." Can someone please help me with this issue? Everything I put in was correct. I have a moto E4 verizon version.

Is this working on international mediatek variant {XT1760}
No idea, give it a shot and report back if it works.
did u have backup of moto e4 stock firmware ?
(XT1760 - international version)
Mtk-droidtools failed to load rom structure and Miracle-tool dump a buggy Scatter file, with partition index error.
Anyway to extract stock rom without any error.
I don't have one, and I'm not sure. I've never ran into an issue like that.
I was wondering is it possible to root this phone on pie or oreo ? It is a nice phone but i hate the ads and memory management doesn't look nice on pie.
Rooting is possible. I am working on it but should be straightforward as usual.
1. Unlock bootloader (there is a tricky procedure involving Nokia authorization code and download of a customized APK)
2. Flash TWRP. I am looking into "running" TWRP like I do on Nexus-es/Pixel-s
3. Flash Magisk.zip via TWRP

Nice. I'm looking forward to it.

I have been digging through these forums, but can't find an straight step-by-step guide explaining how you go about manually updating the firmware on this device when you have the bootloader unlocked, TWRP installed, and rooted with Magisk.
I know that having the bootloader unlocked means that the device can no longer get updates automatically and that the updates have to be manually downloaded installed from the ASUS website. But what I don't understand is how to install the firmware from the ASUS website and still keep TWRP recovery and Magisk root.
This is my first time updating the device after I first set it up in January, so I would very much appreciate it if some one knowledgeable could explain this process to me
(In case you need to know, I'm currently on WW-32.2810.2212.241 firmware, with TWRP 3.70_12-0 and Magisk 25.2 installed.)

I think twrp will not work properly with android 13 because twrp is made for android 12
Dumper UL full upgrade and you will get Boot.img and recovery.img (keep both files at safe place).
Use magisk manager to patch the boot file.
Keep recovery.img (original A13) and TWRP.img safe in ADB root folder (dont mix them up).
1. Update FOTA to Android 13 by copy UL full upgrade into root folder of your phone. If copy from PC/laptop with cable then unplug the cable, your phone will recognize the package, (if you already change COUNTRY CODE and currently use WW 241 rom that will be success update). Otherwise, reboot your device and pop up will appear. Wait the phone is fully reboot and set up everything.
2. Reboot your phone into download mode/fastboot mode (it's better that you should enable USB debug/Developer mode before doing anything). Using CMD command to flash patched boot from Magisk Manager. And reboot, now your phone could gain back root.
3. Check again if the recovery is gone or not. If it's gone, then use termux or any terminal emulator for the "dd command".
You will gain back the TWRP, if any failed, flash back original recovery.img that you have lately in ADB folder on your PC.
PS: backup everything, since going back from Android 13 to Android 12 need to full factory reset.
