4. install magisk manager application and open the application,
go to the settings on the top left and search "booted boot output format and you can choose according to your needs (if select img.tar, this works with Odin samsung). make your choice (if img = flash with fastboot or spflashtool, ufibox.
go back and select pairs and you will see 3 options "download zip, patch boot img file, install "
please select "patch img boot file" select file and search boot.img stored in sdcard and ok ... magisk manager will download automatically ... just wait until there is installation process is complete.
after finished you see its results in the internal memory in the folder "magisk manager"
there is a file named "patched_boot.img" that means success
copy patched_boot.img to laptop / pc and rename it to "boot.img" and flash it with the appropriate tool of your phone.

HUAWEI Y6 SCC-U21 QFIL Flash file.

Hello everyone
I hope somebody can help me. I have a Huawei y6 scc-u21 that I need to fix. I have downloaded a firmware flash file to reflash the phone however, after doing so, I found that the gapps are not installed. I tried to download and install every update but still I did not have gapps installed.
Also, I noticed that after flashing and everytime I do a factory reset, the phone would not prompt me to a setup process and just automatically goes to the normal interface. Some settings are missing too.
Please help. Without GAPPS this phone is basically useless. Doesn't even get a signal even though a SIM card is inserted.
Thanks.
I had the same problem.. here is what i do to solve it:
1- download u21 cm2 backup file from here:

2. Extract it with 7zip.
3 download an sd card update "update.app".
4. install the update with sd card.
5- extract the file with "huawei update extractor" and get "BOOT.img" , "ABOOT.img" and "CUST.img" rename them to lowercase and put them to the folder of the first firmware of step 1/
6- open qfil, select flat buit, select the programmer path from the firmware folder then select from the top: tools then partition manager.
7- select boot.img partition and with a right click select manage partition.
8- choose the boot.img extracted and replaced.
9- do the same for aboot.img and cust.img
10- the phone will exit this dump mode and you will find playstore, keyboard, notfications..
Ask me if you found anything not clear

Guide for Updating RUI2 via TWRP

this is a guide for some user running stock Realme UI 2 on rooted device. while stock recovery wont work after unlocking bootloader and magisk installed (UPDATE: apparently stock recovery are working but you have to wait around 30minutes in order to boot into it). the only option for us is using custom recovery. but custom recovery wont recognize the updates because it's unusual format and its unusual location. Be careful!! I'm not responsible for any damage you may encounter doing this guide. I will try to help as far as I could do
(this guide are documentation from rui2.0 c.09 to c.15 update. where rui1.0 to rui2.0 upgrade im using stock recovery )
first of all, we need to download updates from ota server. simply enter Settings app, scroll down and select Software update. wait untill finished, you'll be prompted to install when it's done. but don't have to do that, it only reboot to recovery doing nothing.
now preparing the updates.
the downloaded files are located inside
Code:
/data/ota_package/OTA/.otaPackage
there are 6 files (may vary) and all of them are flashable zips except system_vendor that needs slight modification. copy or move those files to internal or external storage (i personally put those files on /sdcard/updates/). then add .zip extension by renaming (put ".zip" in the end of file name).
modifying system_vendor.zip
extract system_vendor into separate folder. after that, navigate to META-INF/com/google/android/ now edit updater-script replace RMX2151L1 (or similar) with RMX2151 to avoid installation errors. on TWRP, this phone is only recognized as RMX2151 regardless it's actual phone model ( it needs confirmation from other realme 7 users ).
now back to system_vendor folder and replace vbmeta.img file with vbmeta from attachment. after doing all steps simply repack all files and folder into zip with normal compression parameter. (you don't have to replace vbmeta file, but you have to flash modified vbmeta after that to avoid bootloop)
all files are ready to flash using TWRP (or your own preferred custom recovery). flashing this zip might replace bootloader with stock so flashing Magisk are preferred or you'll lose root access.
the intention of making this thread are opening discussion about realme updates. maybe someone out there could make all those steps simpler and easy enough

Instructions for unlocking the bootloader on Realme 7 5G on Android 12 (Realme UI 3.0).

Instructions for unlocking the bootloader on Android 12 (Realme UI 3.0).
1. First of all, you need to roll back to Android 10 (Realme UI 1.0) in this way — https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=1018185&view=findpost&p=108649502 .
2. Then unlock the bootloader according to the instructions from here — https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=1018185&view=findpost&p=108311204 .
3. After you will need to download the Android 11 firmware (Realme UI 2.0) from this link — http://rms01.realme.net/SW/realme service/realme 7 5G/20680/RMX2111GDPR_11_C.09_2022011518240000.zip .
4. After that, you need to unpack it to any folder on your PC. Next , you find a file with the extension in the unpacked files .ofp and unpack it using the MCT OFP Extractor program to another separate folder.
6. After completing the process, you search in the resulting file folder for four files that are parts of the super partition image with the .img extension. Having found them, you open the folder with adb tools and run from it
the command line, after which the smartphone, switched to Fastboot mode (it can also be flashed in Fastbootd, is flashed both there and there), connect to the PC and flash these files in the order in which they are located in the folder with this command, changing only the name of the file being flashed:
fastboot flash super file name.img
7. At the end, you run the program to bypass the protection in the SP Flash Tool and this utility itself, specify in it as Scatter and Authentication files the files from the last folder (into which the extension file was unpacked.ofp), connect a smartphone in Bootrom mode, disable protection and flash all remaining files.
8. Then you download this Android 12 firmware (Realme UI 3.0) — https://rms01.realme.net/sw/RMX2111GDPR_11_F.04_2022080921130000.zip and repeat steps 4 to 7, flashing files already from it.

Hi. How to fix it ?

[GUIDE] Root any Sony Android phone without TWRP

IMPORTANT
Rooting can break your phone. Do this at your own risk.
Intro
This guide explains how you can root any Sony Android phone without installing a custom recovery like TWRP. It's possible by downloading the latest firmware, patching the boot IMG file with Magisk and flashing the patched boot IMG.
Note 1:
If you have the XQ-AU52_EU_59.2.A.0.463-R14C firmware installed (Sony Xperia 10 II EU Android 12), you can skip downloading the firmware and converting the file from SIN to IMG. Flash the patched "boot.img" file in the attachment instead.
Note 2:
If you don't like the skin that's installed along Android 12 on the Sony Xperia 10 II, you can downgrade the firmware by using Sony Xperia Flash Tool - Emma.
Note 3:

Question I want to root Poco X3 GT MIUI 14.0.1

I want to root my device. Will twrp 3.6.0 from mastersenpai05 work on MIUI 14.0.1?
it seems to me that this TWRP is A11 and MIUI 14 A13.
No need for TWRP to root.
Root:
1. Find or redownload the TGZ file for your current ROM or other rom.
2. Browse inside the zip file and find boot.img under the images folder
3. Copy this file to a temporary location in your PC first, and then transfer it to your phone
4. Install the desired version of Magisk app
5. Run the app and choose Install under Magisk
6. Choose Select and Patch a File, then select the boot.img that was transferred earlier
7. A process will run and create a new .img file in the same folder where the original one was
8. Transfer the new file to your PC in the same directory where fastboot.exe is located
9. Open a command prompt window in that same directory
10. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode and connect to PC, USB2.0 port. Check for connection by running command fastboot devices.
11. Run the command fastboot flash boot_ab magiskXXXX.img
***On some devices, disable-verity is required.
Once it's completed, run command fastboot reboot and the phone should boot and be rooted.
