Attempting to root my Note Edge - Note Edge Android Development

SM-N915R 6.01 firmware.
I have attempted every CF-Auto-Root venture out there without success. It simply fails, most often resulting in my having to re-flash stock firmware to get it going again. Here are 2 pics of what I get. See anything that I'm overlooking? I've tried to just flash TWRP but could only find .img files which, of course, Odin doesn't do. I read somewhere that I needed version 3.XX for Marshmellow. I tried TWRP ver 2.XXX as a .tar file but it failed as well.
I'm at the point where I'm getting ready to purchase a "One Click Root" solution for $40. Save me from the indignity.

btw.....attempted to move this post to "general" but was not knowledgeable enuf to do it. Maybe moderator might intervene if need be. Thx.

Use odin to flash recovery, untick the AUTOREBOOT option. When done, after pass appear, just remove the phone from cable and remove battery. Put it back to phone and reboot recovery then use twrp to flash supersu.

supersu > https://download.chainfire.eu/962/SuperSU/RC-SuperSU-v2.73-20160517124156.zip

I'm having the same issue.
I believe it is related to the bootloader. It seems that the Marshmallow update locked my bootloader and I haven't been able to find a way to unlock that works or doesn't seem sketchy and involves doing a survey to download the magic tool that unlocks the bootloader.
I'd love to get root back on this device.

Hey you both,
Try with the latest version of TWRP [v3.0.2.0] in this forum (courtesy of Micky387) in tar format if you use Odin because it's multilanguage and it supports the latest Chainfire's root method without asking all the time about SuperSu : http://forum.xda-developers.com/misc.php?do=showattachments&t=3129459
and the latest stable version of SuperSu v.2.76: https://download.chainfire.eu/969/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip.
To install Xposed try always the "alt" version, the latest I checked is v85.1-alt-sdk23
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=64212 (but wanam has alredy post v.86-alt-sdk23: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=78075).
Good luck

Well, that was slick and went well. Previous attempts at flashing TWRP via Odin meet with failure, but this one worked perfectly. Copied SU over, installed via TWRP, ran it, and now I'm rooted again.
Thanks for your willingness to help.

Getting rooted by this method is quite simple and vanilla. Should work for most phones I'd think
Really, it's simply a matter of following the steps outlined in colgao's post. It does require some knowledge using Odin.
Here's what I did:
So, use the links provided in colgao's post to download TWRP and SuperSu. TWRP comes as a TAR file, install-able using Odin, and SuperSu as a ZIP file, install-able using TWRP
Use Odin to install TWRP. All my other attempts at installing TWRP failed, and I couldn't find a TAR file version until colgao's post. It's apparently important to not allow the first reboot back into the operating system for fear of it overwriting the newly installed TWRP recovery back into stock. Disrupt the reboot so as to first go into recovery and let TWRP automatically do a fix.
You need to get the SuperSu zip file onto your phone or at least some sort of accessible media that TWRP can use. I used ES File Explorer from Play Store, but I'll guess any file explorer program would work.
After installing TWRP via Odin, reboot into recovery mode and using TWRP install the SuperSu ZIP file you put on your phone, reboot, run SuperSu and Bob's your uncle, you're rooted.
Good luck

Yes, I believe that file will work.
All the other exploits I tried, using Odin with various cf-root files, failed. The only thing that "worked" for me was installing TWRP, then flashing Superus using TWRP.
Worth a try I think.

You know, I'm not certain, but I believe you do, as well as enabling USB Debugging and checking off allowing insecure apps.
There are a multitude of articles on how to do all this.

I have SM-N915F on 6.0.1. Everything is stock.
Are these steps; flashing TWRP with Odin and SuperSU with TWRP are enough to root my phone??????
OR, do I need to flash the BOOTLOADER as well? If yes, please share the link for the 6.0.1 bootloader. I tried to find the most heard about bootloader from @micky387 but couldn't find one for 6.0.1.

This is wrong thread for Q&A, but I can enlight you its not possibe today with locked bootloader. Have a good day!
Root is possible with locked bootloader.
Did it a few minutes ago.
Flashed 4.4.4 via Flashtool
Rooted via Easytool
Dualrecovery via .bat with Point 3 in the menue
Then flashed a 5.0.2 Zip I made with PRFCreator including Root (SuperSu 2.4.6) and Dualrecovery
Everything is working fine!
You can more accurately describe these operations how to do it ??

1. Download the firmware for your device with "XperiFirm"
2. Make a ftf of the firmware you just downloaded with "Flashtool".
3. Download "dual recovery" and latest "SuperSU" package.
4. Make sure you have a custom recovery already on your phone.
5. Read how to use this tool and make a zip for your phone to flash with it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904
6. Flash the zip through recovery. Wipe cache, data and dalvik before ideally. Done. You will be pre-rooted with SuperSU.
PS: Don't try to install Xposed yet, it causes bootloops after first reboot so I am back on Kitkat until that's sorted.
Here is the tutorial for PRFCreator:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904
Then flash the zip from sdcard1 via Philz Recovery
1st boot takes a long time
When already on 5.0.2, then flash a Kitkat FTF via Flashtool
Then root the 4.4.X with Easyroot
After that you have to use Dualrecovery installer, there you choose point 3
ZU will restart, pushing Vol Up will start Philz Recovery
In Philz Recovery Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik, Factory reset
Then install Zip
didnt work for me
Thi method didnt work for me. My mobile is C6802. It went into a loop
The steps I followed were like this:
Flash kitkat with flashtool
Root with philz dual recovery
go into philz recovery
flash the zip file made with the link given above.
for recovery i downloaded philz dual recovery flashable
Try to make your own Zip with PRFCreator with a FTF for the C6802
Excuse me, does it work with locked bootloader? I'm coming from rooted 4.4 with locked bootloader but after I've followed your steps now I am in a bootloop

Followed again all the steps but checking more options in PRFCreator.... Lollipopo 5.02 with root is actually running on my Z Ultra
Thanks for your instructions!!
Actually there's a way to root 5.0.2 on UB without recompiling the .ftf and reflashing 4.4.4 back and forth. Just did that yesterday after having a bootloop with that pre-rooted .ftf.
So here's the idea (assuming you have an unlocked bootloader):
You will need the 5.0.2 .ftf, flashtool, fastboot, boot.img file from doomkernel v.22, XZDualrecovery zip and latest SuperSU zip from koushik's webpage (the one with 7 or 8 folders in it).
1) Clean flash any Lollipop .ftf with Flashtool.
2) Use fastboot to flash the boot.img from DoomKernel, thus you get a working recovery.
3) Restart the phone straight into recovery without letting it boot.
4) Flash SuperSU and XZDualRecovery, do the wipes (cache+dalvik) and power off the phone.
5) With Flashtool flash only the kernel of the Lollipop rom.
6) Reboot and enjoy! Now you have a fresh stock Lollipop ROM with full root access and a working recovery.
I suppose you could lock the bootloader back after that if you need it, though I don't see any reason to do that.
P.S. I will try to update this post with all links later when I get to my PC, posting with my XZU now.

If you're asking about my previous post, then you don't actually have to "get" it. You should load the very same .ftf into Flashtool and then uncheck every tick except "KERNEL". That's the way to flash only one part of the rom.

As you said, you can not install an OTA update if you have rooted the phone and/or you have made changes in system files, you need to restore the system (not a factory reset) to its original stated. You need stock recovery too.
You can use Flash Tool to flash the original ROM from Zopo, but be sure you uncheck the USERDATA mark if you don't want to loose your files/programs/configuration...... Once you have the original system back, you have to apply all the OTA's until you reach the last 20151016.
Once you are in the last version make sure to backup boot.img and system before you root the phone again, so next time you can only restore using that backup instead of flash the original Rom, so you only will need apply the last OTA.
If you want to use it, I made a bakcup from the last 20151016 system and boot using Flash Tool > Read Back optión, so if you flash this backup you will have your system updated directly.
https://mega.nz/#!xVpglLIL!uo6Bik6LO5aHiFuPxG5HH0fxGytXUhiPDuXofxDul2Q
Just unzip the files and use Flash Tool to flash the needed files (boot.img, system.img and trustzone.bin) using the scatter file included to make it less confusing. (Speed 7, not for Speed 7 Plus).
Regards.
Thank you elperroderoke, i have used your backup with no problem, the strange thing though is that the update had to solve "third part launcher is not setted after restart" but i've the same problem after every phone restart i lost about half number of icon on launcher.

Hi elperroderoke, there is another update, can you give me your updated backup as last time?

This phone can be very simply rooted with NewKingrootV4.52_C127_B227_xda_release_2015_09_28_105243.apk
After doing that you would like to remove kinguser and related files, and replace it with the well known SuperSU.
Run the script given here: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html

[How to]Flash latest stock, twrp and root SM-G531F Galaxy Grand Prime VE

I do not own the device anymore. So I can't support the thread anymore, if anyone wants to carry on just pm me. But as far as I know there are newer threads about this topic. Thank you
Hey there,
I decided to write a how-to on gaining root for the g531f Galaxy grand prime ve.
This should work for all grand prime devices based on marvel soc.
About this method:
Knox counter was not tripped for my device using this method.
The main steps, flashing latest stock and twrp, are perfomed by Odin. To gain root chainfire's supersu is flashed with twrp. If you are unsure about any step there are enough guides found on xda refering odin, twrp and supersu.
So let's get started.
I`M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR WARANTY LOST ON YOUR PHONE.
1. Make sure your device drivers is installed properly
2. Get Odin v3.09 for example here:
http://www.droidviews.com/download-odin-tool-for-samsung-galaxy-devices-all-versions/
3. Get your latest firmware and extract it once
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G531F/
4. Get twrp
https://dl.twrp.me/grandprimevelte/twrp-2.8.7.1-grandprimevelte.img.tar.html
5. Get supersu by chainfire
Latest beta
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
Or confirmed working version 5.52 beta, if the latest doesn't work thanks to @XelSam:
https://download.chainfire.eu/743/Su...erSU-v2.52.zip
6. Backup all things you need and copy supersu to external sd card
7. Boot to stock recovery and perform a factory reset and wipe internal memory.
(power off device and keep holding volume up, home and power button)
8. Reboot to download Mode, then start odin and connect your device
(holding volume down, home and power button to get into download Mode)
9. Flash your firmware with Odin by using the AP button and hit start. Make sure repartition is NOT selected and untick auto reboot. This step takes some time
10. Boot to download Mode again. And flash twrp as mentioned above. Using AP and the same selection.
--if twrp doesn't boot you have to use another firmware (step 9) post #20-- thanks to @bluepower
11. Boot into twrp recovery. Hit install and select the supersu zip file then clean cache and dalvic.
(holding volume up, home and power button)
12. Reboot your phone and see if everything is working.
13. Go to dev settings and tick "manufacturer unlock" to prevent fap lock.
(unlock dev settings: Settings - about phone - tap build number 7 times). If that doesn't work check post #4 and #6 and say thx to @hck5
14. Make a nandroid in twrp recovery to have a clean rooted rom to return to if anything gets messed up with further modding (eg. xposed framework etc.)
10.1 100%Working firmware
If you can't find a version that allows to flash twrp (carrier lock) use this unbranded one:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/61237/G531FXXU1AOJ2_G531FDBT1AOI2_DBT/
Check gps. If it doesn't lock install this app and configure your region.

The x86 version is working fine for me
For audio enhancement I'm using dolby atmos cause Viper didn't do the trick for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-dolby-atmos-t3109446
So have fun with your unchained device and hit thanks button.
Great job!
Hey there i have the same model and i'm happy that last night i've found your post
i used the pre-rooted firmware and i had the system ui rebooting problem after i uninstalled any of the apps
also i've seen guys who had that security tab problem from settings (didn't happened to me)
I am extracting the stock rom now i prepared everything
i also wanted so badly the viper fx cause the sound is pretty low
i searched for alternative but here you are with dolby atmos
i greatly thank you for the effort for posting this tuto
i will be back after i do the job!
Thanks!!!

Thx for your feedback and confirmation that it is working.
So have fun with your device.
BTW don't forget to make a nandroid backup before you mess around with xposed modules to get back to your rooted rom. I destroyed my system twice with xposed.... And I had to go through this procedure again (thanks touchwiz).
okay
ok. thanks for the advice i was just messing with the modules and i have no backup xD
there is a pic with all i have so far

custom binary locked by fap lock.... shiet... this is the google account thingie
do you know any way to bypass it? it means i can't add my google account
i just tried to reboot in recovery and it's showing up and can't boot my phone so far...
ok flashing stock fixes it
and this is the ultimate fix

Try to unlock via dev settings. Manufacturer unlock.

If that doesn't work you have to delete your Google account as far as I know.
For me it is working with Google account, but I can't remember if I ticked the dev setting option before or after adding my Google account.
for me has been this one

Probably a stupid question but why can't we just install SuperSU from Play Store?
Edit: Okay, I've noticed that the version in the xda thread is newer. Anyway why not install it the usual way (sideloading)?

I don't know exactly what you mean with sideloading app.
But as far as I know root is needed to install supersu via Google play store. Of course you can sideload the app via adb shell when booted to twrp. But I wanted to keep the tutorial simple without setting up adb etc.
Hope your question is answered.
Thank's for recovery
I thing a new nice rom will coming soon for 531F

Transfering APK to internal storage/sd card and installing from there (by opening it in file manager) is what I had in mind.
I don't think is that easy.. You must set system read and write and I guess twrp helps it installing supers in a better way than your file manager does

The same strange problem is @XelSam facing, too.
I don't know why it is booting to stock recovery instead of twrp. What is written on top when you boot to dl mode? Could you post a picture, please.
Maybe it is the odin version or the recovery partition is locked.
So here is what you might try
Make sure your device is not fap locked
1. Get the odin version from op
2. Flash firmware with reboot unticked
3. Power down device and boot directly to dl mode again (do not boot the system) and flash twrp with reboot unticked.
4. Power down the device and boot try to boot to twrp
Good luck

Hmm, system status should be official.
And another line that says FAP LOCK : OFF
Isn't there the newer firmware j2 available for your device? Which country are you from?
When running odin, Kies is not allowed as background service. Check your windows task manager and kill it.

I see, looks like your rom is carrier specific. I just checked for your firmwares, I even could not find your version.
To unbrand your device you can try to flash another version.
I used this one:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/61237/G531FXXU1AOJ2_G531FDBT1AOI2_DBT/
I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL WORK, CAUSE MY DEVICE IS UNLOCKED. SO THERE IS A SMALL POSSIBILITY THAT THIS WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE. BUT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT FLASH THE PREROOTED ONE AND NOBODY REPORTED THAT, YOU CAN TRY THIS.
BE CAREFUL, THIS could RESULT IN WARRANTY LOSS. SO IF YOU HAVE TO SEND IN DEVICE FLASH BACK A CARRIER SPECIFIC ROM BACK.
So it is on you if you are willing to try it.

Glad to know you got it and thanks for your feedback.
To rule out all misunderstandings and help other people with the same problem.
1. You flashed a rom from another carrier for your region and 2. updated it to the latest version via ota.
3. You installed twrp and 4. supersu
Is that the way you proceeded.?
Did the line for fap lock appear in dl mode?

[Guide] Root Honor V10 on stock fireware without erasing data

Since TWRP is still not ported to V10, so i decided to make a prerooted-boot.img.
Download Link
You can flash this boot.img to root your Honor V10 AL20C00 (6GB+128GB China Edition) on stock firmware (B132)
Usage:
0. Unlock bootloader and close find my phone.
1. Power off your phone
2. Plug your phone to computer
3. Hold power and volume down until boot into fastboot mode
4. flash this boot.img by adb ( fastboot flash ramdisk boot-root-b122.img), please download adb by yourself
5. reboot (fastboot reboot)
Your phone may reboot twice, and you'll get root access.
Declaim:
I only test this on my own phone (BKL-AL20C00), Use this on your own risk. I'm not responsible for your phone's damage.
using this tool means you accept this.
Thanks:
HRT-Lin
@mankindtw for his Mate-10 root boot.img
cofface for his bootimg.exe to unpack and repack boot.img
@worstenbrood for his Huawei Update Extractor
Does this root work on stock BKL-AL20 8.0.0.132 update?
Same question. I got BKL-L09 8.0.0.120
No bootloader unlock needed? And i also hope, someone can confirm this on BKL-09 - 120 .
They didn't lock bootloader? Already preorder international unit
Hi,
Can you be a little more specific? Did you unlock your Bootloader first? When you say stock firmware B132, do you mean version 8.0.0.132 ? Thank you in advance for your reply!
Custom Recovery for V10
Hi ppl. Has a custom recovery been ported for the V10. I have managed to root my phone using the above method, but since there is no custom recovery available, I am unable to flash any mod / roms, etc.

Hi harshshah17,
Did you unlock your bootloader first? I think there are methods to flash zip files without having a custom REC. Try Flashfire apk. I've read the phone can get even more "restricted" (many features get blocked) once you root your Honor V10. Is it true in your case? Thanks in advance for your reply.

Ofcourse i have unlocked my bootloader..Its only after that, that you can root. With regard to your question, I have not experienced any sort of "restriction" with my Honor View 10 post rooting. Seems to be working just as normal. The only thing is that i am unable to install the OTA update.
The reason I am asking for a custom recovery is because i need to remove Super SU and install Magisk instead. In order to remove super SU i need to flash an uninstall zip (I know you a can remove it from the Super SU options, but that doesn't seem to be working). I can certainly use flashfire to flash the uninstall zip but then my phone will be unrooted and I wont be able to flash magisk via flashfire.
If anyone has a solution for the above, suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!

U can remove root by flashing the stock ramdisk.img, which can be extracted from the official full-ota update.app
Only thing I've seen that doesn't work with root is face unlock. Also how can I flash magisk since there isn't a recovery yet. Can I use flashify?

By the way, flashing custom ROMs for V10 is now also thru Fastboot. So I guess TWRP isn't applicable for V10? Maybe Magisk can also be flashed using Fastboot. I will try to research for custom ROM with Magisk. So far, I only see SuperSU pre-installed. ?

I did download that and the extractor tool but it says I need the update.app file to extract the boot image an I've yet to find that in either of the three files I tried.
So I know how to use fastboot but will I need the boot image first or can I just flash magisk. The current root method installs su. That's where I'm kind of stuck as far because I've always read that you have to uninstall su first but then wouldn't I lose the ability to flash magisk? I'm currently just rooted on the stock rom.
Didn't even know there was a custom rom hadn't seen it on here yet.

Do you have BKL-AL20? Here's a non-rooted boot image. I'm not sure if it can be used on other variants / versions. If you have another variant, I can find it for you.

I have the bkl-l09. I'd appreciate it if you could. I'll try this version since it can't hurt though.

It should be "fastboot flash ramdisk <boot image name>".
Second, if it doesn't help, the next step is to enter e-recovery mode. Press Volume Up + Power for 15 seconds. Follow the prompts and it should download the full OTA for you. I think you need your Huawei ID in the process (and a good Wifi signal).
Lastly, I think this is a sure bet but will cost you, google "funkyhuawei honor v10 rebranding guide". You will find a reddit link. They are the only team who "holds" BKL-L09 Full OTA roms that I know of. You need to buy "credits" to download OTAs and unbrick your phone. Unfortunately, team MT (team behind Firmware Finder) hasn't got a hold of a full OTA of BKL-L09.
From my experience, the first suggested solution should already work. I hope you don't get to the third solution.

Question Device corrupted after OTA

Hi,
I tried to update my P6 using the magisk OTA update method:
-Unistall / Restore image
-Install OTA, no reboot
-Install magisk on inactive slot
-Reboot
My phone was on the SQ3A.220705.001.B2 update, few months old.
When I rebooted, I was prompted with the "device corrupted" message. I pressed the power key to continue, and was stuck at the Google logo boot loop.
I forced turned off the phone (hold power + vol up a few sec), and the phone rebooted, no corruption message to my surprise, and booted correctly. However, my system did not update (still on SQ3A.220705.001.B2).
I'm a rookie on device rooting, but my understanding is that my inactive slot (partition b) as the update installed but is corrupted and goes in boot loop, while partition a is not updated but not corrupted either.
The thing is, I only did "install on inactive slot", so magisk was uninstalled on partition a, and rebooting made me lost root on that partition.
Is there any way to de-corrupt partition b without losing data ? Because without root on partition a, it seems like I'll need to reinstall it, meaning a factory reset...
I've searched a bit on here, saw that it was probably an avb bug (but rookie me doesn't know what avb is), and that OTA update using magisk inactive partition was not recommended for P6 and P7.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks !

Be certain you're running the latest version of ADB. Google provides a link to the package you can download and extract. Then download a factory image from Google, extract the files from the zip to the same folder ADB was wxtracted to, and edit "flash-all.bat" in a text editor. You're looking for a snippet of text, "-w". Delete that text and save the file. From there, connect the unit to your PC and flash the ROM.
This will restore both partitions to working condition without removing data, but you will lose root in the process and will need to root again.

Ok I'll find out how to flash ROM using adb beacause I don't remember, and I'll do what you said.
After that, I should be able to force boot to partition b (the updated one) using adb, right? And will I be able to root without losing data ?

Ok so I've searched a bit, since my bootloader is unlocked I'll be able to root without losing data. The only question that remains :
You told me to download a factory image and to flash it with adb. Can I download the lasted version, for example the one that I failed to update to? If so, after flashing, will my de va ice be updated to the lasted version ?
Because that means that it's a way to update my phone, if I don't want to get the corruption error :
-download lasted update
-flash using adb, with the edited .bat
-Reboot and re-flash magisk
-done

I think that the easiest way is with Pixel Flasher, it makes everything automatically with data preserve.

@SleinBuyt : Yes
@m_pastuszek : While he could do that he should learn how to do it without a tool first. That way he can understand what is going on when the tool is working.

I agree on this side, but actually editing script that makes something similar comes down to the same thing
That was the same case for me.
After latest OTA update, no matter how many time I tried to flash full factory image via fastboot, stil showing device corrupted.
A couple of things everyone having this issue should be aware of.
Currently, "Flash to Inactive Slot" breaks verification/dm-verity on the Pixel 6/7, and I believe that's responsible for the "Device corrupted" error. The Magisk devs are aware but don't have a fix yet. I haven't been able to test because there have been no OTAs since I disabled those myself (which PixelFlasher can do for you), but I believe disabling them should prevent that problem during OTAs, but be advised I think doing so requires wiping /data when you do it.
Also, if you're still getting "device corrupted" even after reflashing stock, first watch for any errors during flashing in PixelFlasher (I may have a fix for anyone that has USB issues on Windows devices, but it involves the registry so it makes some people nervous), but if it isn't working then try Google's Android Flash Tool by finding your device and desired firmware here and clicking Flash. You'll need to be using Chrome. That's never failed for me. Once you have it up and running again *then* use PixelFlasher to patch and flash the boot image.
ALSO, for anyone on T1B1/QPR2: Magisk currently is not working at all with these versions. It'll boot, but you'll have no root. No one knows why yet as far as I'm aware. You'll have to stick to earlier/non beta builds until there's an answer for that if you want root.

To root the Pixel 6 on QPR2 Beta 1 you can patch the Pixel 7 boot image and then flash that on the Pixel 6.

UPDATE : I did it, I used ADB for the sake of trying it, next time I'll look into PixelFlasher I guess. The message is gone.
Exact step followed :
-I first trained to use adb by flashing magisk, but ended up patching the wrong boot.img (the one from the A13 update, while being on A12), which sent me in a bootloop.
-I then flashed the A13 ROM, with the modified flash-all file
-Rebooted bootloader, flashed magisk
-Rebooted device.
Took me 2h lol, each step was learning something.
Thanks everyone!

Just make sure you have the A13 bootloader on both slots if you haven't already, since it sounds like you just updated from A12 to A13?

I mean, the objective was to update my device and keep root, wich is now done. Why do I need the A13 bootloader on both slots, and if it's important how should I do it ?

It's important if you don't want to brick your device. Did you read the link I gave you?

Sorry I didn't see, I've read now.
So If ok reboot to fastboot, plug in, and with adb :
fastboot flash bootloader --slot=all flash-all.img
I should be good ?

My situation is a bit bizarre. I'm on beta and recently got an update notification that was 190mb. I went to magisk to restore images and magisk says stock backup does not exist. From there and went ahead and use my PC to flash my stock boot image and rebooted. Once an Android it's still says the same thing but when I go back to the update it says installation problem Even though I am on stock. That's where I'm at right now. Haven't messed with it since just rolled with no root and stock boot image.
