bricked realme xt (help neended) - Realme XT Questions & Answers

I have unlocked the bootloader after that I have installed the twrp and wanted to have the magisk too.
but unfortunately when flashed magisk zip phone got bricked and didnt boot into recovery just go into fastboot (btw the recovery i flashed was also temporary as it has been gone every time i restart and i have to again reflash the recovery) kindly help me how to unbrick my phone????? tried many method found online all in vain.
I was using realme ui 1.0.

So you have unlocked bootloader from ui 1.0 and flash twrp and try to root. Perhaps the magisk is not for ui 1.0. Can you still go into twrp and flash ui 1.0 (c.03) or downgrade? BTY your phone is India version, right?

yeah still i can go to twrp but unable to install the officiAL rom as twrp does not recognizing ozip file so what to do now? i have global version.

So you used stock recovery to flash india version ui 1.0 and unlock the bootloader and flash twrp, that sounds great. Just try to change ozip to zip and see twrp do.

rename ozip to zip, see if twrp works? And can you show me your phone version?

So you hard bricked you phone by locking bootloader.
Maybe you should take it to service center.

Flash twrp 3316 IMG..it will flash ozip

Had boot/recovery destroyed message after attempting to flash a gsi. I followed the unbrick guide. I can access fastboot & boot into recovery, however touch input is not working so I'm unable to do anything. Phone sticks on the realme screen when attempting to let it boot. Any ideas? I live in the US so a service center isn't possible.

XDA seems pretty dead these days. Shame.

it happened to me too. i can help you. first boot into fastboot and use ur computer to flash twrp using command "fastboot flash recovery (attach twrp img here) then boot into recovery which should be twrp and then download orangefox recovery for realme xt. it should be a zip file so just install it using twrp. Then get the official realme xt ozip from their website boom orangefox should install it then wipe data once again.. then start your system. if it goes into recovery again just wipe data again and it should work.

you can try to unlock directly at your current stable rom, somebody able to do it while i can't do it and should move to dev rom to unlock.
if you failed to do it at current rom, you can move to dev rom using miflash and ofc using fastboot rom. if you should move to dev rom to unlock, choose LP rom since MM rom have forced encryption feature by default.
OK.. suppose now I unlocked the bootloader... wat should I do to flash twrp and root the phone.. should I just flash tarp and supersu or should I need to flash anything else... please help me step by step after unlocking bootloader...
follow lolipop unlock process Replace emmc_appsboot.mbn in dev rom and flash via mi flash done,
fastboot oem unlock-go
fastboot flash recovery recovery name.img
then flash radon latest marshmallow version and then flash supersu 2.76 done, its work for me,

hit enter and restart your pc
(this is imp.)
4. open the zip file and extract the contents. open the boot edl mode folder and click the edl.bat file. allow it to run.

Once unlocked bootloader and flash twrp.
You don't have to take help of PC or any other thing.
You can always do it on the phone itself.
Boot into twrp by pressing upper volume and power button.
Wipe everything except storages (internal or external)
And then install the ROM zip file and gapps file accordingly.
Do it for any rom

any rom can be install from phone through twrp directly but this is for rom other than miui.
if you install the global stable miui 8 official then its gone. your phone will brick. the bootloader, since is unofficially unlocked, your phone would stuck at mi logo.
now if you wanna install miui rom without any such kinda loss, you see this video: the madthing he explained everything.
download a patched miui 8 rom that will support unofficially unlocked bootloader and will not cause any problem. and it supprts volte too.
or if you want the real miui 8 global rom back . this has to be done by pc.
Install miui 8 patched directly from twrp recovery. [easy one with extra features and safe and volte supported]

Or install the stable miui 8 global offiical rom by pc method. doing everything again. [hard one, success not guaranteed but mostly works. follow each step correctly]

If you do it by installing global dev kenzo ROM by mi flash then it may get stuck at 50-60℅ as happened to many here.
I have also experienced it. It got stuck at 40℅. It may happen.
It can say not enough memory to continue or whatever ****.
Leave it don't panic. The ROM has partially been installed.
Now cmtry power off. Or click on boot edl mode. Now directly click unlock bootloader .bat file which I provided. And then click on flash twrp. Bat file.
You phone will automatically boot into twrp and now go last tab of last second row, got to globe icon and change language and now go back and wipe everything.
No wiping internal storage if you have kept any ROM there. But I suggest wipe everything.
Insert a micro SD card or USB otg containing any ROM (because you need to boot up at least) and then flash it along with proper gapps.

One Plus X soft (?) bricked

Hi guys,
Before you say again a topic on a non bricked One Plus X, I would like to let you know that I've checked and try almost all of the tutorial I've seen on xda and one plus forum.
I was on CM14.1 with this ROM : https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-onyx-t3452150
Unfortunately, I made the 25-12-2016 update and it totally broke up the phone..
I download the OnePlus X OxygenOS 3.1.4 on the One Plus website. So I flash it on the stock recovery, it tells me "Install success" then I reboot and it stays on the bootlogo.
For information, I can't access the oem unlock menu if needed, but when I ask the oem device info it says unlocked. The phone is detected by the computer sometimes with unknown device and sometimes correctly with the qualcomm drivers..
I have a back up made from TWRP, I can access the device by the fastboot mode, it seems that all the operations written here worked but it doesn't install or even boot on TWRP..
Thanks for your help guys.

I'm not even using TWRP, since I can't boot on it.. But I tried to flash the twrp-3.0.2-2 from blue spark v41, after the installation via Flashboot, it doesn't boot up on the recovery..
So after flashing TWRP you use fastboot boot recovery.img and nothing happens?

Start by seeing if you can fastboot flash stock recovery from any 2.X.X OOS. Then fastboot flash twrp 3.0.2. If your on new bootloader meaning latest ROMs or OOS3 then you need to boot into 3.0.2 and from there you can flash IMG of twrp 3.0.3. Make sure you boot right back into recovery after flashing any twrp or it won't stick. This worked for me when I lost my recovery twice but always remember at your own risk. Not responsible if you make your phone into a paper weight.
Fix It!

The APK that unlock the bootloader works (Even though is marked as M version). (Remember that this will wipe your device!) For ULBL -> Version UnlockTool_2017_0803(android M) (FROM ASUS) https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Zoom-ZE553KL/HelpDesk_Download/
Zenfone will reboot and you will able to see a new splash screen that informs you that your device is unlocked giving you boot options Don't press anything. (You will see this everytime you reboot). The next screen will show an erase process. Phone will reboot.
Once booted enable developer options and adb via usb.
You can find TWRP builds right here: https://mega.nz/#F!p90wgAaY!l1JbJilmAUEKTKWu43pT9w (Special thanks to: @shakalaca) Use the latest one.
Go to fastboot mode and install TWRP. (fastboot flash recovery (nameoffile).img)
Let fastboot do it's magic, once you finish press volume buttons till you find reboot recovery press power button to select. It will boot again to the first splash. Do not press anything, let it work. It will boot TWRP in a whistle.
Once in TWRP make a backup. You know it's necessary, and will save your ass in case of a softbrick.
Flash latest magisk (Current Ver: 13.3) Magisk thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Reboot, check drawer for magisk manager, magisk and root should be enabled.
Voila. Safetynet test passed :good:
what version was twrp are you using and what steps did you take to get magisk to work.

So today finally I got my Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom. I couldn't contain myself to start playing with it.
My very first surprise was that the phone requested for an update. I've done it. I ended with a stock 7.1.1 AZ3Z.
This is my experience:
The APK that let you unlock bootloader works. (Remember that this will wipe your device)
After auto reboot I cheched safetynet. At this point test failed (Little bit obvious)
I was able to go to fastboot mode and install TWRP (The same you can find right here at the forum)
Let fastboot do it's magic, press volume buttons till you find reboot recovery. It will boot TWRP in a whistle.
Once in TWRP I made a backup. You know if necessary.
The next step was a crossfinger procedure. Just flashed latest magisk Beta (13)
Reboted checked for magisk manager on drawer.
It was there and root also. Enabled magiskhide, and voila. Safetynet test passed :good:
Hope this Info help you.

It's twrp 3.1.0
It should work as it passes CTS profile and Basic Integrity I can't test it myself because I live in Mexico and Android Pay is not avialable here yet.

Just a question as I'm having difficulty booting into TWRP.
My device is unlocked and when flashing TWRP using the command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and trying to boot into it nothing happens other than my device going into the bootloader. I have tried flashing both the most recent TWRP 3.1.1 and 3.1.0 yet I keep on coming to the same problem. Can anyone provide help? thanks in advance.

Everytime you reboot the pone starts into boot loader. It has a countdown to boot into whatever is commanded.
Once you flashed succesfully the recovery img you just have to select option to boot recovery with vol keys and power.
Phone will reboot into bootloader agin let it boot on contdown (don't press any key)
Then it will boot into twrp.
Hello, on nougat i am trying to install the twrp, I downloaded the official bootloader release program (after installing the message "unlocked device") but trying to install the twrp via fastboot me by an error message. ... but I think the problem is the unlocking of the bootloader (if I turn the ze553kl in fastboot mode I see my device is "locked") ... there is another version of the bootloader release software? The one available on asus site would look for android M ... maybe there is one for Nougat? Thanxs
Wop. I used the M version apk on Nougat. It worked with no issues, the unlock of boot loader is successful when all the content of your smartphone is wiped.
For reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg77b8o8Jk4 Min 1:29
Thank you! But running the software, does not run any wipe, it only displays an "unlocked" message without having to restart anything else. I also tried to make a "factory reset" and repeat lab process but the result does not change ...

If you follow that link and flash the recommended version, TWRP might load upside down and mirrored, impossible to use. I flashed the latest version from the MEGA link (3.1.1) and it was back to normal. Just a head's up for future reference, you might want to update your post.

Updated, never had mirror issues but is always better to have latest recovery.
Edit. Jimbo, I got an anwer from the source it notes: "please use 'fastboot flash recovery' instead of 'fastboot boot' to avoid up side down screen"
I've also tried installing from scratch with Asus flash tool, but I still can not unlock bootloader ... Anyone know if there is also an unofficial method for unlocking the bootloader?
@bizzino what model of Z3Z are you using?
Maybe Unlock bootloader app is intended for specific models... Let me do a little bit of research

Locked
Works just fine, thank you
But how would I go about setting the phone back to stock if needed in the future? (Removing Magisk, and replacing TWRP with the original recovery software).
@bizzino No news for you i wasn't able to find more info I'm sorry. Maybe change it for warranty? @subsector you should flash original recovery via fastboot and then sideload the stock rom

how to root asus zenfone live zb501kl

I have been searching in the internet for hours, trying every method i could understand and none of them worked. the main problem is the official bootloader unlock tool provided by asus is not working, it just restarts the phone and it is still locked. one solution is flash a custom recovery without unlocking phone and another way is unlock without the official app or maybe root without custom recovery, i would be happy if someone explains a way to root this phone.
indeed. the official bootloader unlock is not working and just restarting with no changes.
Then i tried to flash TWRP via fastboot it says Ok but no TWRP when I proceed to recovery its only stock recovery.

I suppose that you've already turned developer mode on and enabled the USB debugging.
Did you either reboot the phone by yourself or it did that automatically after flashing twrp? There are some devices that just restart and get the official bootloader back. This auto restart overwrites the bootloader.
Some people say that after flashing twrp you must unplug the device and then reboot directly to bootloader by yourself, holding the power and volume up buttons . Have you tried it?

[AIO] Guide to Unlock bootloader , Flash TWRP and a Custom rom.

Unlocking Bootloader​1. 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...

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'
