Hello Everyone!
I need urgent help from you all because I am currently stuck in a very bad situation. Please please please!! Help me to get out of this. Let me start from the beginning of whatever I did. This is going to be a very long post so please bear with me.
Why did I try to root my device?
I have Realme 1 which works on Android 9 and does not support internal screen recording. So I thought rooting would help me and I would be able to create gaming videos.
1st Phase:
I researched about how to root my device.
I came to know that first I’ll have to unlock my bootloader.
I tried to unlock my bootloader and when I was running the necessary commands like fastboot reboot, it simply showed, “Waiting for device…..”
Now confused, I went to the Device Manager and uninstalled Android and its drivers from the category of other devices by mistake. Now, my problem was that, how to pass commands to my device?
Next, I deleted everything, and started from scratch. This time, I connected my device (via the same USB cable) and I did something (I don't exactly remember what I did, but ultimately it lead me to Windows Update, where I clicked on View Optional Updates and updated the driver. I am attaching a screenshot of what I had installed.
Next, I downloaded platform tools, extracted them and in the address bar typed cmd and did the following checks to ensure that my device can receive commands.
When device was powered on:
adb devices
Returned: _________ device
Next command:
adb fastboot (Something like that which took it to the fastboot mode)
Next Command:
fastboot devices
Returned: _________ fastboot
Satisfied that I was going on well, I unlocked the bootloader using the respective commands.
2nd Phase:
Now I knew, my bootloader was unlocked, so I did the next step.
I switched to fastboot mode.
Downloaded boot_patched.img for Realme 1 C.50
Next, I pasted it into the platform tools folder.
Next, booted my device into the fastboot mode, and gave the flashing command.
Confirmed it on my device using volume up key.
Gave fastboot reboot command to reboot my device.
Downloaded Magisk Manager and rooted my device successfully.
Downloaded RootChecker app to be sure and got the positive result.
I downloaded the apps I needed.
Problem Phase:
I had downloaded a banking app but it didn’t work because my device was rooted, so I searched, “How to hide root from banking apps?”
I came to know that the solution for this was on Magisk Manager itself. Magisk Hide
So, I opened the Magisk Manager and I was shown a prompt to download something (Or maybe I downloaded something from the settings? It was something like system host module or something like that) Now I don’t exactly remember whether my device rebooted or not, but let me continue.
So, I went to settings, enabled Magisk Hide, selected the app from which I had to hide root and opened the app. It didn’t work.
I searched the internet and saw that I had to reboot my device as well.
After I did that I faced a more serious problem. The app was still not working and my sim cards were disabled.
Now I panicked, I did the ultimate thing for which I had rooted my phone, I downloaded the game and the screen recorder. I chose the internal sound recording option, it told me to download some Magisk Module for it to work. So I did it.But it still didn’t work.
Now I was sad, I didn’t know what to do. Then ultimately I opened my RootChecker app and check the root status of my device and you guys won’t believe what I saw.
" No proper root access granted "
Super Problem Phase:
I decide that I’ll unroot my device. So, I set down to work.
I got to know that I had to uninstall the Magisk Manager completely. I did so and my device rebooted.
There came a wave of relief, my sim cards started to work.
I thought that my device was unrooted now, so I opened my banking app and it showed: “Your device is rooted! You can not proceed further.”
I was confused, I checked the rootChecker and it clearly said the same thing. No root access.
So, I searched the web again and I was told that if I remove some files like su and one more file (I don’t exactly remember the name) then my device will be unrooted. I donloaded the es file explorer but didn’t find those files.
I searched the internet again and found something new. If I reset my device, then the root will go away. I was very happy. I did a factory reset of my device and this time I didn’t check the banking app, I did one more thing which I was not supposed to.
Ultra problem phase:
I got to the fastboot mode using the same commands in the adb terminal and decided to lock the bootloader. I thought that the app had detected that my bootloader was locked so that may be the reason it was not working. I gave the command:
fastboot flash lock
(it was something like this, I don't quite remember)
I confirmed that I wanted to lock my bootloader.
And that led me to my doom.
I rebooted my device using the command.
My device never started.
After the logo, or to say while booting I was shown this error:
"The current image(boot/recovery) have been destroyed and can not boot. Please flash the correct image or contact customer care to fix it."
Then I though maybe I could just download the original boot and recovery file again then it would be all fine. I have those files and everything, when now I try to give those commands, they just show "Waiting for device...." Moreover the computer doesn't detect my device. The only thing I can do is just go to recovery mode.
Guys, I told you all everything that I knew please give me a detailed solution to the problem. I am also attaching some images so that you can see what exactly has happened.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry to say, but ... flashing unofficial/custom firmware and rooting has risk of bricking your device. And locking the bootloader was not the right/, best option
Maybe you have a chance to get it working again by flashing a complete firmware to it. Hopefully it will be successful after locking the bootloader

Hi there,
I recently got the Homtom HT16 for just 50 bucks. I've always rooted my phones with a one-click rooting app(kingoroot etc.), but it seems not to work. I did some reading and saw you need TWRP to root the device. Now there is no TWRP for the device, saw on xda there was for the HOMTOM HT7.
Anyone knows if I can use the TWRP for the HT7 or is there any other way to root my phone?
Sorry for late response. On Russian forum you may find way to install recovery with Flash tool, however that didn't worked for me. Their TWRP recovery is useful for rooting. This is 100% tested, I own HOMTOM HT 16.
1. Install adb-setup-1.4.3 to enable adb, fastboot and Google USB driver on computer..
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wvsyab1iakpsswu/adb-setup-1.4.3.exe?dl=0
2.Settings-Developer optons Enable USB Debugging and Allow OEM unlocking
3.Put on sd card SuperSU-v2.78-201609011115 (this version worked for me).
https://www.dropbox.com/s/84xm1m7rxerg6kt/SuperSU-v2.78-201609011115.zip?dl=0
4. Turn off the phone, press Power and Volume up. You'll see new menu. Move with Volume up, choose Fastboot and press Volume down. Connect computer and phone with USB cable.
5. Find the directory where adb and fastboot are installed and position itself there . Hold Shift, right-click and choose Open command window here. ( If you are not the administrator, Windows 10 Start, Command Prompt (Admin) and position yourself in directory where fastboot is installed with cd command).
Copy TWRP recovery (recovery.img) in that folder.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/t26oax8n96izp60/AACq00Cgo1iMFOWPAT8leRXZa?dl=0
5.Type and execute commands:
fastboot devices (check if device if recognized, you'll see the serial number)
fastboot oem unlock (press Volume up to unlock bootloader)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (install new recovery on phone)
6.Pull out battery, push it back . Hold Power and Volume up. You'll see new menu. Move with Volume up, select Recovery and press Volume down.
7. Don't make attention to blinking and bad performance of Recovery. Select Install, find SuperSu on sd card and install. If everything is ok, you will see notification that superuser is successfully installed.
8. Reboot phone and check with Root checker application root rights.
(optional) If you need restore factory recovery and remove Superuser, to keep warranty valid.

I downloaded the original fw from needrom, then I put back the original recovery.img, so now it's as original, but without root...
I don't know what is the problem, this procedure worked on my phone.
Look here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/twrp-mount-data-unable-to-crypto-footer-t3360331
**** my phone factory resseted it self
No matter what I do, my phone doesn't allow to be found when I make "fastboot devices".
Can someone that have rooted the phone please do a readback of the entire rooted rom and upload for me?
I'm facing a lot of problem installing the recovery , so if someone can please post a rooted rom it'll be useful ...
Edit : can someone backup his nvram partition? I lost my imei and with this phone any trick wont work...

Hi, for me the SuperSU from holocen (see above):
togeter with the TWRP image, flashtools v5 and the description from needrom worked for me (not every emailprovider can be used to create an account):
needrom.com/download/homtom-ht16-4/
Greetings Rikski
Solution found in here!!
Use TWRP for cyanogen after installing it with sp tools v5.
Put SuperSU v2.82 or above in the phone or sd memory card go to custom recovery and install the SuperSU v2.82.zip file. Reboot and that's it. It works like a charm. :good:
7. Don't make attention to blinking and bad performance of Recovery. Select Install, find SuperSu on sd card and install. If everything is ok, you will see notification that superuser is successfully installed.
How long does blinking take usually? It blinks all the time, I can't select Install ?!
This phone has now nearly 30 ROMs on needrom.com
Plus a non blinking custom TWRP recovery, go check it out:
needrom.com->Doogee->Homtom->ht16
I tryed to follow the guide of holocen (also used much of external information) but right now i'm stuck in a bootloop.
First of all i needed hours of reading and troubleshooting to get my adb "cmd" working proberly with the "bootloader mode" (cause of a driver problem).
After i was successful ("fastboot devices. fastboot oem bootloader) , i tryed serveral twrp recovery *.img's (officials first, holocen's later on), but i can't get the ht16 out of bootloop. Recovery flashing seems to be successfull though.
If i try "volume up + power" and start up the recovery manually, i got the twrp splashscreen, followed by a huge chunk of red "unable to mount xyz..." with a following bootloop (there are only seconds to see whats happening, an then the "HomTom" splashscreen reappears). I tryed "fastboot erase userdata" with no help. Was insecure about the "fastboot erase system" command though.
Maybe some of you guys are eager to help. I really tryed to read up as much information i could about this topic. I thank you in advance.
Target was to root the phone and to install some kind of lightwight custom rom (just to get rid of those frikk'n "trojans, bloatware-viruses, marketing horrors" which are messing with the stock rom. Hopefully everybodys know right now what i'm talking about).
I try to respond quickly, but i can't garuentee.
Thank you very much for reading.
Best regards

Hey Guys,
tried to install LineageOS on my mothers tablet, but forgot to unlock bootloader first, so i got a softbricked device like some other guys here.
Because i haven´t found a solution/tutorial here, i tried some things out and now i got a working device
Unbrick The Brick
I found a version in this forum, which installs a ofw -> https://w3bsit3-dns.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=545744&st=2260
My Device was connected in this mode and via cmd : "adb devices" it was listet

After unzipping 0.rar, i startet a cmd as administrator, navigated with cd to the unziped folder and startet "flashall.cmd"
The Device starts again
Install OFW
Unfortunetly the Unblock Bootloader APK from Asus ended up with an error , i tried a lot with adb install *.apk and so on, but nothing worked out... Therefore i installed the latest OFW
You need an SD-Card and the latest Version (https://www.asus.com/Tablets/ASUS_MeMO_Pad_FHD_10_ME302KL/HelpDesk_Download/)
-> For me it is the "ASUS MEMo Pad FHD 10 LTE Firmware: V10.10.3.39 Only for WW SKU (Android 4.2.2)"
Copy the unzipped zip (you will see what i mean) to the SD-Card and unname it to "APQ8064_SDUPDATE.zip"
Insert the micro SD card into the tablet.
Turn off the tablet.
Press and hold Volume Up + Power Key, wait until the bootloader logo appears, and then the FW update process begins. (if this don´t work out try the APK "Recovery Reboot")
After the completion the device will automatically reboot.
Perform the factory data reset.
IUnlock Bootloader with the official APK
-> https://www.asus.com/de/supportonly/ASUS MeMO Pad FHD 10 LTE/HelpDesk_Download/ -> Utilities -> Expand -> "Unlock Device App"
Install TWRP

I had some hope when I saw this thread. I had problems with the bootloader unlock too.

And it helped?
My advice to anyone trying to revive this old tablet is to just buy a new one, no matter what the cost and you will come out ahead in comparison to time wasted trying to resurrect this old beast. Still if you are like me and perhaps when you arrive here are "already in way too deep", here are some hints to get you going. I'm 2 weeks into playing with this thing but making good progress. Wishing I'd just bought a new one but since I usually forget everything I learned dealing with ROM builds a few weeks after I set it aside,I can't say I learned a valuable lesson so I'm not sure of the benefit.
First of all, to ensure you don't brick this thing, be sure to RESTORE TO FACTORY before unlocking. Then once set to factory defaults and you are configuring it anew again, when you get to the screen asking to sign into Google, then don't do it because if you do, when you run the unlock routine it will go into a loop asking for your Google ID and password. Then when you sideload in the Assus unlock app and also accept any upgrades that Asus provides if at this point you have never logged into Google, the only requirement of this unlock routine is that you have a working wifi accessed so you will never get into the Google ID loop if you don't have a Google sign-in account set up.
So, I've loaded every version, evaluated them and rejected all but 14.1 due to some quirk or another. My mistake was loading multiple zips after the unnlock (including Gapps up front, a no-no in my opinion) and this has left me yet to load any of the Gappas package yet, discovering that is what gave me my black screen initially. I now have a full suite of mapping software loaded and working plus many basic language tools and other apps that support traveling and using this device as a guide. I have side loaded about 25 apps and all is well so far without the play store. I have the GPS working (couldn't get it to work in 13.x and 15.x versions) and additionally I was able to load Magisk systemless, Xposed V25 systemless, XprivacyLUA and a long list of Xposed modules that all work perfectly, plus I have a functional root. I haven't tried any super secure apps like banking because I haven't even set up playstore. So right now I have a great functioning device that is not so Googled-up. I am not sure if I will load the 7.1 Gapps at this point now but I plan to get everything working on this device I can without Google Playstore and the other Google suite and see just how far I can get without Google apps. I do miss the voice typing, however.
Another thing that will get you confused with this tablet is the first time after flashing it with the TWRP recovery and just as you enter fastboot reboot on your computer and press the enter key for the very first time, you have to hold in the power button and up-volume button on the tablet at the same time you reboot with fastboot and if you don't when you reboot after the flash of the new recovery, the stock ROM will revert the TWRP recovery.img back to stock. I know, it sounds hard to believe but if you flash it and don't get the TWRP menu on the next recovery boot, this is what happened.

Hello everyone,
I've been googling this for the past couple days it's been driving me crazy. Stock 7 (I think), should have been unlocked but is showing locked.
1. My friend gave me the Nexus 9 which turned off one day, then wouldn't turn on again.
2. I plugged it in, and it turned on fine. Assumed bad usb port, he said keep it. I enabled developer options, then did "OEM [bootloader?] unlock" and "USB Debugging" toggles on (from memory, may not be right phrasing)
3. While trying to back up his data on it by ADB Pull, it would randomly stop. Using it, it would reboot unexpectedly.
4. So I went to Software Update.. bad idea in retrospect probably it rebooted during or something? It was fully charged and on AC power but I wasn't watching it.
5. I come back and it keeps bootlooping. Went into recovery, says "Device Locked" - Tried clearing cache, no difference. Tried sending bootloader unlock command with fastboot, says I have to delete all data to unlock.
The only lead that I have is that it might be possible to image TWRP to recovery, then boot into it so that I can get files off it (With OTG Flash drive or USB?) - I wanted to ask for help here first.
I did my best to search for this prior, but I've been out of the ROM game since 2012 cyanogenmod days.. Hope that it's possible to save my friend's data, and then also to flash a new ROM which will solve the reboot issue.. Thanks!
Boot to recover, then when you get the Android mascot with the belly open, press ( I think vol up plus power) to get to a functional recovery with ADB support.

Thanks GK,
After going into recovery mode, there's the android mascot with the belly open as you describe. Then, I do (VolUp+Pwr) and it produces this screen below, which I'm guessing people call "fastboot". When I'm there, my Win10 PC makes the "USB item attached" noise, and I can use fastboot commands, but adb devices won't show anything. Do you have any ideas?

I thought I could use the fastboot access I have to flash twrp, but I get the following error. I switched the "OEM Unlock" toggle, but i'm guessing that doesn't mean anything until I unlock the bootloader in recovery (which necessitates deleting all the files). I followed the directions on the twrp website which claim that root isn't needed, but I guess unlock is.
Code:
PS C:\Users\User Profile\Downloads\platform-tools_r30.0.1-windows\platform-tools> .\fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

You need to be in recovery for adb to work. The Android with belly open is recovery but you need to unlock it with a button combo. Fastboot won't work unless you unlocked the bootloader.
I may have the steps a little off for getting to recovery but I'm sure searching how to boot to recover for the Nexus 9 will find you the right steps. It's been a long time since I've used the stock recovery on this tablet.
For future bootloopers: Well in the end, I wasn't able to figure out how to pull files using the stock HTC Nexus 9 recovery. Since it was locked, I wasn't able to install or execute TWRP .img , and unlocking it meant losing the files. It was weirdly looping even in Recovery & Fastboot. I tried every mode, and different drivers in the device manager, but ADB couldn't connect. Maybe it's not meant to for security purposes.
If you're bootlooping even in recovery, try the following:
I gave up on trying to recover the data, and decided to just unlock the bootloader. booted to Fastboot (Pwr+Vol Down on start up, select Recovery, Pwr+Vol Up, should say "Fastboot") Then I used fastboot oem unlock, which unlocked the bootloader and Deleted ALL DATA. Then, I could flash TWRP, using fastboot flash recovery twrp.img. Once I flashed TWRP, I booted to twrp recovery using Pwr+Vol Up at boot, wiped all partitions. Then I went to TWRP Advanced -> ADB sideload. Issued adb sideload ota.zip, and this gave me a clean stock install.
Thanks gk for your advice.
Hi there! I need some help, I am trying to root my device and need a boot.img, but I cannot find a Rom for the x9 anywhere online.
This is my first time doing this, I got this phone just to mess around with rooting. But maybe I bought a bad phone for it.
If there are no Flash Roms online, what are the next steps? Can I use a Rom for the e9 which released alongside this phone? Sounds like it wouldnt work.. but IDK.
Looking for help from the experts ^^
Any help is appreciated.
Finally found one! Took over 2 hours to download a 2gb file O,O but it's finally done.
Now I am having problems getting into bootloader mode.
In developer mode with both OEM unlocking and USB debugging enabled.
Used the correct cmd prompt (adb reboot bootloader) but the phone just restarts.
I've tried restarting while holding the volume buttons.
VOL Down = Factory Test Mode, nothing works as expected there.
VOL UP = A boot menu letting me select from ~10 options, one of them is Boot to Bootloader. Selecting that simply boots normal, nothing special.
I have followed three guides:
How TO Root Vodafone Smart X9 Magisk without TWRP Recovery
If your Smart X9 is rooted using Magisk without TWRP Recovery. You can control a lot of features such as you can remove unwanted software.
www.getdroidpro.com
Vodafone Smart E9 Unlock Bootloader with Fastboot Method
How to unlock bootloader on your Vodafone with Fastboot Method. You can install custom ROM, custom recovery, kernel, flash all data
www.mobilewithdrivers.com
All seem logical enough, many similarities between them. I just cannot get into fastboot mode.
I've seen LOADS of threads with this same problem on this forum. And none of them have any solutions. So I think this is the end of the road. If nobody has figured it out .. then I am just out of luck I guess?

Hi @joke19 !
I havnt seen any of the guides mentioning needing a certain amount of buttons :O
How does that factor in - does that mean it cannot be rooted for some reason?
Still having this problem, and I have followed a lot of guides to the letter. I cant see what I am doing wrong. Here's where I am:

I've got the lastest up-to-date version of platform-tools.
I'm using USB2.0 with the correct wires.
The phone is in developer mode with USB Debugging and OEM unlocking enabled.
I'm using the correct command lines. adb devices & adb reboot bootloader work as expected.
But none of these will work: fastboot devices, fastboot flashing unlock, fastboot oem unlock.
I just get < waiting for any device >
Can anyone help figure this out? I must be doing sooomething wrong. Everything online says its a driver issue, but then again, all the guides on how to fix that driver issue have been followed and completed. The first bullet with the image should also sort of verify that.
Praying some wizard out there has the knowledge I need to get this working! ^^

disclaimer - sorry i really have no idea what i am doing and my goal is to just go back to my normal phone
my phone is poco f1 and now i can only access fastboot and this "powered by android" screen. fastboot into twrp doesnt work because of "boot command is not allowed in lock state" error
hello all so i tried rooting my phone and then realized that its going really badly (i have a more details about it down) so i decided to flash stock rom using techno treatment's tutorial on it but along the way i have faced a couple of problems - when trying to install drivers, program crashes, and others below
first time i flashed i got an error (timeout error in logs) , so i tried to flash again but this time i left it open for some time (at around 500 seconds i pressed flash again, in logs it shows that flashing already started) and when i came back it was at 12000 seconds still flashing so i closed miflash and am flashing once again but with a shorter folder path (desktop\xiaomi\firmware).
after this i deleted 2 lines in flash_all.bat because i kept getting stuck on echo mismatching image and device. after this everytime i try to flash i get this error - error:Erasing 'boot' FAILED (remote: 'Erase is not allowed in Lock State')
and also error:Erasing 'boot' FAILED (remote: 'Erase is not allowed in Lock State') in the other log file
and after this i tried to go into fastboot but noticed that the fastboot logo is different, it was a bunny with a hat repairing android robot but now it is android robot repairing itself

(this is what it looks now)
what i did before flashing stock - sorry my memory isnt the best this is all in a span of around 5 hours and my phone is pocophone f1. so at first i followed munchys tutorial on how to root, i succesfully enabled bootloader then in twrp i flashed recovery with some errors like failed to mount /system and 3 others like this but i ignored and continued then i installed magisk and after that in the video he goes into his phone no problem but i had "no os" and i think i just clicked around like backing up, restoring and wiping. then i thought i need a rom because its an os right? so i installed lineage and that was the last time when i could put files into my phone through usb. then i flashed the zip and after that rebooted and got "cant load android system, your data may be corrupt" so i pressed format something like that and did it a few times (i think this is when i couldnt put my files) until eventually saw that its no use so i went back to twrp and again clicked around until eventually wiping everything now i have no os and i cant transfer anything through usb.
Hi @medioqre
Seems like you are in locked bootloader state. You can not flash any ROM with locked bootloader unless you are enter EDL mode. See youtube tutorial to access edl mode for Beryllium

Thank you!

That's right, but i recommend go to the service center if you aren't able to do it.

Hi again, its been 10 days.
so i have not went to a service center yet, because my city is too small for that. But i have a question. i didnt do anything else with my phone but today i decided i could do something and i booted it and i found out i can access fastboot mode and recovery mode, and in here i can see -
main menu, mi-recovery 3.0
and this one option
"connect with miassistant" which just gives me a picture of a phone if its plugged or unplugged with usb and under theres is a link to this website pcsuite.mi.com which doesnt work.
does this change my situation?

If you are still in locked bootloader, you can't write firmware through fastboot or recovery
Why don't you try unlocking the bootloader officially?
