Hi Everyone,
With all of the hype around the Exynos phone its finally time for the TGY/CHC Snapdragon variants to get some attention.
No this won't work with US variants, please don't ask. This is tested on my normal s10 (SM-G9730). I'm not sure if the s10+ would work.
I've worked with a few key people to get this working. So credit goes to Flatty, Ianmacd and the creators of tomatolei rom.
This setup will let the user do the following:
-Boot/Restart phone without holding any odd button combos to boot into rooted rom.
-Hold the recovery buttons to get into TWRP.
-Not having to worry about losing root when restarting if you forget to hold your buttons, you don't need to hold anything once properly setup.
The following steps below will help you achieve a stock rom with TWRP:
1. You must be on stock rom, ideally non rooted. If you are rooted, flash your stock rom (The rom version is important, this was completed using the ASH2 version of the TGY firmware.) using ODIN (CSC HOME).
2. Once flashed boot into android and ensure OEM unlocking is enabled in developer settings.
3. Boot to download mode by turning the phone off, then press and hold the volume down button along with the Bixby key just beneath it, then press and hold the power button.
4. Flash attached TWRP from download mode. (This led my phone to boot looping). https://www.mediafire.com/file/cg8bcrf78v66v8j/LatestTomato.tar/file
5. Flash the second attached TWRP (you may have to restart and re-enter download mode again). (I believe the above flash is required too, as it likely contains vendor info). https://www.mediafire.com/file/21akg54uxqk3eix/G9730_TWRP_3.3.1-1_tomatolei-0831-v4.0.tar/file
6. Reboot phone to recovery mode (Volume up, bixby and power upon restart) which will now boot you to TWRP.
7. Flash Snapdragon muti disabler from TWRP. https://www.mediafire.com/file/opbsc7wrcr69b2v/multidisabler-samsung-1.6.zip/file *Per @FlatOutRU After flashing multidisabler you must Wipe Data (if you didn't do that before with twrp - Thanks for the clarification.
8. Boot to your rom and ensure all is well.
9. Feel free to download the latest Magisk zip and flash root from TWRP by using the recovery mode button sequence upon restart.
Sidenote: The G9730_TWRP_3.3.1-1_tomatolei-0831-v4.0.tar and tomatolei ROM also let me install PHH AOSP and PHH LineageOS
PHH AOSP microG: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...arm64aosp-9-0-0r21-microg-ufofficial-t3878115
PHH LineageOS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...i-lineageos-16-0-gsi-arm64-ab-how-to-t3908029
Hopefully this gets a few nice Stock ROMs being produced.

Thanks for the compliment @pixiebob
1) I believe the latestomato.tar has some pieces of tomato rom that allow for booting.
2) Yes, i didnt use magisk_patched.tar. I used the official magisk zip after all of my original steps as the last step.
3) I have several backups, I'm on TGY. Try start from scratch and follow my above steps using a TGY rom. Sounds like you may need to wipe and start over using the original steps provided, make sure to use the multidisabler originally attached.

No, you didn't work with other people. You just spammed me ,my pm here and in telegram to get explanation and posted it here without permission
You've also forgot one important step. After flashing multidisabler you must Wipe Data (if didn't do that before with twrp)
Multidisabler - i've just changed a few lines in @ianmacd code to get it working on our Snapdragon variant.
Twrp.tar - extracted boot.img and recovery.img from @tomatolei ROM for S10+ 9750
Thanks again @FlatOutRU I've updated the initial description to include the wipe after the muti-disabler flash as per your comments.
Hopefully this allows more work to be done on the Snap s10s!

I see no one's responded to you in the last few days, probably because the OP says to not bother asking if it works with US variants. No there's no known way to get root on one of the 97_U variants. The bootloader is locked, and it would take a miracle to bypass that.
Cannot use Dex for PC function.
Could you upload tomatolei's twrp v6, which updated the kernel to support the Dex funtion? Many thanks!

Return to Un-modded Stock:
Bootloader unlocked and TWRP and Root included
The file is 4gb compressed to 2gb. Depending on your connection it will probably take 20 to 45 minutes to download.
Be Advised
Do your research before flashing anything, I am not responsible for any damage caused to your device, due to impatience and missed steps. However, rest assured this recovery is solid and will absolutely return your X720 or X727 to stock 5.8.21s (with the bootloader already unlocked, TWRP installed and rooted)
I was asked by several people if I would be willing to share a link to my Stock X727 recovery, I created this thread to provide the 5.8.21s recovery for anyone who is experiencing dire issues or is simply wanting to restore the last official x727 recovery, as a daily driver or as a means to troubleshoot their issues by returning to the fully stock rom, stock partitions and ready to start over.
Attached is my full stock TWRP Recovery for my Le Eco Pro 3, version: 5.8.21s (X727)
It is a clean TWRP backup recovery that I did not mod in any way other than unlocking the bootloader.
The link is to my Google Drive account. https://drive.google.com/open?id=19dtLHmE5bsx5mdtEXOns4Z5drpeY79Em
The file is compressed
Ensure that you perform a full wipe before applying this recovery, and that you know what you are doing before attempting to install.
Please note that any changes that you make to your device is done at your own risk.
Please use caution and make sure that you have TWRP recovery installed.
Be in the habit of booting back to recovery before booting to system....This is a good practice for ensuring TWRP stays installed
You must unpack the downloaded 7zip file, before it will be useable.
As long as you can boot into TWRP and have root access you will have the full permissions needed to install anything , and reverse any actions that do not workout as planned.
Personally, I make a backup of my existing installation prior to making any changes. I recommend that you do the same. If you buy an OTG adapter and a USB 3.0 drive it takes 5 minutes.
The steps provided on the following link can be used to install my recovery file. https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/guide-return-to-stock-lock-bootloader-t3539513

Thats Awesome! I am glad that it helped you.
Great work just what I needed only one problem for me after I flash rom reboot system and then go back into TWRP there seems to be encryption on it and I can't install or backup or do much. Is there a password or way around this TWRP encryption?

I don't have time at the moment to provide lengthy instructions. With respect, I am providing a working, clean unlocked recovery file and pointing the way to instructions already that exist all throughout the LeEco forums.
But here's a quick answer
First use TWRP to reset your phone with a clean wipe, like you would for any ROM. Set developer options to the standard settings.
Next, your storage is encrypted. So it needs to be formatted. Use TWRP format the storage only. Then reboot to recovery.
****Important****
Don't ever format the storage without ensuring that you have a TWRP recovery. Always check the boxes to check if TWRP is installed before swiping. If you don't have a recovery you have a soft brick.
For you information, TWRP recovery is installed on it's on it very own partition. Formatting the storage does not affect the TWRP partition. Nonetheless, if you see the check box option, make sure they are checked.
I would suggest that you install the all in one tool : https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....pment/tool-tool-one-mauronofrio-t3580611/amp/
This tool helps a lot and makes this stuff easier if are new to flashing custom Roms.. The all in one tool will update the Google driver and ADB installation on your computer.
After you format your drive you will have to flash the recovery from the PC. The links provided show all of the steps, or you can use the all for one tool. When your storage is encrypted you have no choice but to format.
If you use the all in one tool , see their page for instructions.
Read the instructions, then read them again. when learning something new it's a good idea to take notes.
Do not deviate from those steps or you could brick your phone.
There have been many people that have messaged me by PM who successfully returned to stock using my recovery, so it will work as long as you are careful and follow the instructions verbatim and you will be fine. Plus, It's a great idea to create your own working recovery before you begin.
Reminder, you are restoring to stock under you own discretion, I am not responsible if you miss a key step, have a power outage, use faulty cables or brick your device.
One final suggestion, when you install the recovery make sure your phone is fully charged. Unplug all unneeded external peripherals from your desktop computer.
Temporarily, disable antivirus, insert USB cable into the back of your desktop PC. Those outlets provide more power.
Please look past any typos, I typed this on little keys.

No it will not keep twrp. follow the instructions in the link I provided above, there was no reason to duplicate the instructions on my post.
The difference is that my backup will restore your phone to Eui 5.8.21s with bootloader unlocked. You will need to reflash Twrp and root the phone with Magisk if you want to keep Twrp recovery ( that is what I would do) You will not be able to get OTA updates. But that doesn't matter because there probably not be any more OTA updates for the x727
Thank you, sir! This is great work. I was able to restore back to stock.
On the strange side of thing, my TWRP was saved. Previously, I was running AICP, but having multiple sound issues with it.
Here are the steps I followed to restore:
1) Move the file to OTG flash drive
2) Restore through TWRP via Restore
For my 727, it just reboot on logo, and doesn't go past it.

It should not take more than 10 minutes, and will usually startup in 5. I just now restored one of my X727's with this recovery, using the OTG method that the last person used and viola in worked so there's no doubt. I have always used ADB until now.
However, unlike the other poster, I did lose Twrp and had to reinstall it.
Always, Always Ensure Twrp is permanently installed
Make sure that you are on the latest version of Twrp : https://twrp.me/leeco/leecolepro3.html
Run Magisk, install Rom, Install Magisk again
Personally, I use the latest version of Magisk : https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589
You want a fully clean install before you flash.
Instructions are redundant of XDA: if you want something other than what you have read already: Click on my account history to find detailed instructions, ( I type too much, too often) Under most thanked, you can quickly find detailed instructions for installing , Roms, Rooting, Installing Twrp, How to wipe to avoid any issues.
Finally, if for some reason it still doesn't work, the file may have been corrupted.
Worst Case scenario : there are other recoveries available on XDA. Beware of the edited versions, they do not work as well as an unadulterated recovery.

This recovery is stock EUI 5.8.21s. The exception is that the bootloader is unlocked, and it has TWRP Recovery instead of EUI Recovery. I do not remember which version of Magisk I Installed. I would advise that you flash the newest version of Magisk and you will not have any safety net issues.
If you are wanting a complete return to stock, you should instead reflash the stock Full Rom, which will reinstall EUI recovery and lockdown the bootloader.

you can just flash image in safestrap and then flash the safestrap for nougat zip in post 2 (or its included in the new DSF6 build) after you flash the nougat system image in safestrap to get back to nougat safestrap. If you fail to flash the safestrap zip for nougat your phone will automatically boot to safestrap on every reboot on a nougat rom.

Thanks for answering my question. I'm new to all of this, so I appreciate the guidance.
Another question. Would I brick my phone if I tried to flash a ROM image with a v3 bootloader through safestrap?

You can flash a system image from v3 firmware but must remain on v5 boot and recovery images and bootloaders and modems

Nice this ROM just goes over the Nougat image with all my settings and apps intact. Even the pay apps are working (probably because no root). Now I just need to find a way to flash Viperaudio drivers then I'm all set.

I've tried to flash a few different viper zips in safestrap to no avail. The driver would not load. I was told that root is needed to actually "load" the drivers, even if you install them via safestrap. I'm not sure this is true though because if it was, the viper app would ask for root privs, wouldn't it? Anyways, if you make any progress let me know I need that viper in my life.

You should be able to change the permissions for the files themselves with safestrap you can change file permissions if it allows us read write to system then you could try making an init script to load in on boot with rooted permissions to load the viperaudio like an init.d
Vipermod start service this is just off of the top of my head but I will look into more this weekend when I got some time to test out the new rom and safestrap
Viper will not work without root because it needs to execute a script at startup and no scripts will execute on a stock system. There were or maybe are rootless version but they still needed a permissive kernel to work

Unlocking Bootloader1. Make sure you have a sim and active mobile data. Then go to about phone tap build number 7-8 times. After that go to advanced settings > developer options > turn on OEM unlocking and then check if this device is secure and click add account and device.
2. Download Mi unlock tool from here. Extract it and paste it in C:/unlock. or else your device won't be recognized for unlocking.
3. Open Mi unlock tool and then enter the Mi account which was on your device. Put your device in fastboot mode by pressing vol- and power and then connect to PC. Press unlock and if it tells you to wait you have no other option but to wait. If your mi flash tool shows connect your device even after you have connected it. Follow this guide here.
4. After you have unlocked your bootloader reboot your phone.
Flashing TWRP and Rooting via magisk
1. Download this TWRP image here. Thanks to the original developer mauronofrio.
2. Download adb and fastboot tools here and install it.
3. Now put your phone in fastboot mode and connect it with your pc. Now where you have downloaded the TWRP file rename it to TWRP.img and open a CMD window there if you don't know how just google.
4. Type the following commands
1. fastboot devices
2. fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
3. fastboot reboot recovery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. Your phone will boot into TWRP now. But TWRP will be overwritten by stock miui recovery to stop that you need to flash Magisk. Download this zip move it to internal storage then flash by tapping on install and swipe to flash. Reboot your device. Reboot to recovery again to check if TWRP is present.
Now your device is rooted
OR
Flash latest OrangeFox Recovery if you don't want magisk.
Flashing A rom
1. Download.
2. Flash.
3 Format Data.
Done
Feel free to ask any questions. And don't point a finger at me for messing your device.

Flashing a custom rom is optional. You don't NEED to flash a rom to get TWRP...
---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------
I've unlocked the bootloader using the unlock tool and waited for 7 days,
But i rooted the device using a different method where i patched a boot.img and flashed that to the device.
Will this method still work for me as I'm already rooted but just want TWRP so i can flash other ROMs.. The post says you have to flash magisk from the (temporary) TWRP for the TWRP to stay as the recovery..
Will the magisk on my phone and the magisk installed here collide?
I just want TWRP so i can switch to a custom rom, so any input is appreciated!!

You can flash twrp and then check if it persists. If not flash magisk again their is no thing as magisk colliding lol. Just make sure you flash a newer version. And if nothing works flash stock rom and then twrp.
If you have the stock boot IMG flash it and then intsall twrp and magisk.

Haha, makes sense! Thank you for your answers
Nevermind.. i got it to work pretty easily..
I have twrp on this device and Pixel Experience ROM and it's working all fine..
But there's this one thing where when booting to recovery, it asks me to input a password for User(0) when i try to input anything it says password failed..
From reading the log, it says it's for decrypting data(8f I'm not mistaken)
Is this important? Do i need to decrypt it?
Currently the ROM works fine with no errors, so I'm not gonna bother, but would still like to know what this "decrypting" thing is..

Yes, If you use a lock screen enter that password it will be decrypted. You will have to format data if you decide to flash any other rom anyway.

Hey buddy, thank you for this quick step-by-step guide. I flash ROMs since 2012 and you know what? It helped me the same. Having all stuff needed for go from stock to custom concentrated in one place (plus some useful tip like the Magisk flash at the end) it's always useful and time-saving. Thank you
2 Micro-notes about fastboot btw:
- write 'fastboot (with lowered 'f'): it may confuse some newbie
- it's 'reboot' instead of 'boot'
I want to access /data/system/users//settings_ssaid.xml to know what my game unique id is.
But after some research i learned that i have to root to able to get there but i have almost zero knowledge about it.
Are there any guide to root Redmi Note 10 from the scratch? Thanks.

Hi, I'm on official global ROM 12.5.3.0 RKGMIXM
And i turned on OEM Unlocking in developer mode yesterday (Which is confuse me a little a guide said i have to wait for 7 days for this but mine is nothing it's just switched to on)
OEM Unlocking is only one of the steps, but it does not unlock the bootloader. File a request with Xiaomi.

Aside of that instruction, actually is it 'dangerous' if we install the TWRP? What 'bad things' would/may happen if we install it? (Because I see some guides about installing it on RN10, like this one for example, and I was almost followed that guide).

Risk of bootloop and fastboot loop... because this twrp is modded to be booted and then flashed (you can found the option in advanced)
One time i faced a fastboot loop once i flashed directly the twrp , that's why i recommend booting it first and then , flashing

Please confirm these;
*So we can:
Use TWRP only temporarily, only to root the phone (by flashing Magisk v23),
and then,
back to using the stock recovery on our RN10 afterward,
even if the RN10 is already rooted?
**If the answer for my question above is yes, then (in RN10 condition of Unlocked Boot Loader, Rooted, Stock MIUI & Stock Recovery) ;
Would we still get official OTA Update from Xiaomi (and can download and install the update- as how it's like before rooting the phone)?
Thank you in advance
It's an unnecessarily complicated procedure. Just flash a modified boot.img for your Miui using fastboot from your PC. If you don't have the ability to modify the boot.img on another rooted phone yourself, request a modified boot.img with the exact update version of your Miui here.

Forgive my nooby questions.
But I really want to know as much as I can (especially about the answer for some questions I have inside my head about the matter, like I asked above),.. before executing doing something about my phone.
oops... I'm sorry for double send
In the past I rooted Miui and then continued to get OTA updates. However, this cannot be confirmed for all versions of Miui. Each new update changes the phone software and so what worked before may not work today.

Hi, I'm unlocked my phone and installed the orange fox it's the custom recovery right? Because it say so.
If yes, By Flash Magisk ZIP how to do that? Please explain the detailed steps, Thanks.
First of all, I would like to point out that Magisk (root) is a security risk. Without understanding the issues, the phone is more easily exploitable.
To install, just download the magisk file with the ZIP extension. In recovery, select the install option and select this file. Once installed, exit recovery and boot the system. Once the system boots, use magisk and complete the installation it requests.

I usually did that along with rooting with my android phones before this.

It's ok now I understand how, after watching this video.

NO advisable, Do not try this way!
I have a bad experience with this method, I have a Note 8 pro (Begonia), i did a rom backup with twrp, then flashed other custom roms, after few tested on various roms, i decided to get back to Miui rom, thinking of the easy way, I restored its Miui backup images via twrp, the phone bricked. In the end, I had to sent to xiaomi service center for repair.
I believe that was due to different version of Preloader of rom crashed with TWRP.
Of course, with some "MTK auth bypass softwares" available today, you may take the risk if you wish.
Could anyone provide here any already backup of Chopin stock recovery share it here, please?
Edit: Since there is no recovery partition, You had just re-flashing "boot.img" by twrp then you will restore stock recovery and that operation will also let you lose your root.
