The answer to your first question is no, it was not a mistake. The answer to your second question is yes, you are still able to root your device running android 11, you just need to
1. Install adb/fastboot onto your computer
2. Install the OnePlus drivers (only available for Windows)
3. On your N10 5G, download the magisk apk from github and replace the .apk with .zip
4. Download TWRP or Orange Fox recovery and copy to the same folder as fastboot
5. Flash the custom recovery with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (where recovery.img is the name of your recovery image)
6. Boot into recovery and flash the magisk zip file. In TWRP select install and browse for the file, with Orange Fox, just go to the location of the zip file, tap on it and select install or flash, I can't remember what it says.
7. Reboot your device.
8. Open up the magisk application, it will have you download and install the full application.

HELP!!! is possible TWRP for ULEFONE S8 PRO.

Hi, it would be possible TWRP for ULEFONE S8 PRO, this phone comes with a Trojan in the sound recorder, and is installed in the system part, so if I do not root or install TWRP I can not delete it. If any developer can help us and give us some solution ... I sent several emails to ULEFONE and they do not answer. The Trojan was detected by ESET NOD 32 MOBILE.
Thank you
up! All the tutorial have wrong TWROP too that make the item reboot only to TWRP
root ok
well, after two days trying, root made.
1- flash official rom with sp flash tool and rom downloaded from ulefone.com/download/s8pro.html (do not use flasher from this web, use sp flash tool)
2- download ulefone s8 pro toolkit, put phone in fastboot mode (power+vol up), select fastboot
3- download super su last version from official chainfire web, copy supersu file and noverity.zip from file downloaded in point 2 into an sd card and put into phone.
4- execute ulefone s8 pro toolkit.exe, option 41, connect phone. phone prompt if wish unlock bootloader, vol up for yes. phone reboot into twrp
5- in twrp, first go into wipe-advanced wipe-select data-repair or change file system-change file system->first change to exFAT, second change to EXT4 (the original part type)

Can you link the s8 pro toolkit (even in private message) since the one I have just bootloop TWRP and doesn't allow me to do something...thank you!
Another way to root, but no TWRP is to patch the boot.ini extracted by the firmware zip , patch it with magisk manager and replace the original one with the patched one via ADB.Then you can update magisk by magisk tool everytime, the phone won't brick, just no ways to update....
thank you !

As a complete novice in rooting, thank you so much for this explanation. It worked a treat. I had already re-installed ulefone stock rom but these steps got me back rooted. Thanks again. I have been reading these threads for some time but just registered today to say thank you.
still no linlk to tool software?
Hi! I'm pinging the topic. Has anyone successfully rooted his Ulefone S8 PRO? Unfortunately, mine goes into the bootloop after installing any kind of custom recovery

Lenovo E10 TB-X104F TWRP?

Hello! i have used the search tool to see if there is a custom recovery for my device but i am unable to find any. I found TB-X103F custom twrp but im unsure about trying it!.
I may be rather early as this tablet only recently came out.
Lenovo X 104F- 1 GB RAM
I own the same tablet , found also a solution to root it . Just to try other Custom ROMs you do not need to root it ....it is project TREBLE compatible ! This means that you can , with fastboot and ADB , install various GSI images )
ATTENTION : this method does not allow you to go back easily to the factory ROM !!! If you wish to do so, you need to root your Tab and make a full backup with one of the solutions described here in XDA ! Titanium or so .
I have installed Lineage 15 (Oreo 8) on my device and it runs without any problem ......Custom ROMs based on Pie make still some issues ! Be aware , that for one or other reason on my tablet i can install only ROM that is less than 1 GB after unzip !!!

Care to share any links?
Since Lenovo/Motorola added our E10 / TB-X104F to the recovery tool I decided to play around with hacking apart this awesome and terrible table. Long-story-short... you can unlock it using the normal FASTBOOT commands. A MAGISK modified BOOT.IMG does work which gave me full root access to the tablet. If people are interested I'll write up a guide... but a little bit of research on MAGISK and grabbing the Lenovo recovery tool will be your first step if starting from scratch.
Next step is getting a recovery image. I'm currently looking into getting this tablet into the TWRP BUILDER queue, but at the time of this writing their queue is full.
UPDATE: Just saw the TWRP BUILDER team has had everything on hold for over a month now. Guess I'll need to see about building this locally in my free time.

I can attest to this, I flashed the last Resurrection Remix Oreo GSI (12/21/18) and a (Magisk) rooted kernal I got from firmware (Lenovo MOTO Smart Assistant). And so far everything seems to be working fine.
So I also flashed resurrection remix pie gsi... it works as well... only thing is it doesn't come with gapps... and without twrp i can't flash a gapps package. The resurrection remix I used was the final oreo build... zt has gapps pre-installed... you have to register the device with google because it is not certified... but after that everything seem good. One thing to mention is both the oreo and pie builds are "go edition" so some features are missing because of that... one in particular I noticed is notification access for 3rd party apps... go edition devices don't have that feature
Do either of you all have a step-by-step guide to rooting the device and installing either the Lineage or RR ROM?
Also, what works and what doesn't on the tablet afterwards?

Use Lenovo MOTO Smart Assistant to repair your tablet (you wont actually repair tablet, just using to get firmware)
Follow steps to get to download the firmware (it will save to ProgramData folder, its hidden folder... in widows anyway)
Take the boot image (boot.img) from firmware folder and transfer to storage on tablet
Instal magisk manager and use to patch the boot image you transfered from computer
Transfer patched boot image back to computer
Download the latest oreo gsi for resurrection remix or lineage
Use fastboot to unlock bootloader
Use fast boot to flash gsi
Use fastboot to flash patched boot image
Google anything you need help with...
I used the resurrection remix oreo also because there is a build that has gapps pre-installed... the pie version works but doesn't have gapps pre-installed and without twrp I couldn't find a way to install them
After tablet boots up install magisk manager and you will be rooted
You will need to register your device with google because it will not be certified... that was a pain to get done even though the process is pretty straight forward
So far only "issues" I have encountered are not actually issues they are due to the fact that the resurrection remix gsi is android "go edition" I haventr tried lineage because I like the customization options that resurrection remix offers
Here is the magisk patched boot image I made so you can skip that part...
https://www.mediafire.com/download/x4d3xp8w3e8bw3g
Just to confirm the sequence of events (and thank you for the magisk-altered file):
1. Move magisk-modified boot image to the tablet.
2. Download latest version of Lineage OS or RR; move that file to the tablet as well
3. DL magisk manager APK and move that to the tablet as well
3. Boot the tablet into Bootloader and flash the new OS file first
fastboot flash recovery file.img
4. Then flash the boot.img altered by magisk
fastboot flash recovery boot.img
5. Reboot the tablet (will it load with the new ROM?)
6. Install magisk manager
Questions on the flashing:
A: Do you flash the .img and the ROM through fastboot shell command on your computer or do you install them in recovery mode?

So you want all files on the computer at first...
When you unlock bootloader it will wipe the tablet.
Flash the the gsi image then the magisk patched boot image using fastboot (there are instructions on xda regarding flashining gsi... you have to wipe system before flashing)
After tablet reboots to resurrection remix move the magisk manager apk to the tablet and install it... open magisk manager and you should have magisk installed giving you root and so much more.
Before you attempt this make sure you familiarize yourself with all the steps... search google/xda.
Also... I will say this... I tried to just root the tablet first but it wouldn't boot after so I tried to fix it using the Lenove tool and it failed... flashing the resurrection remix gsi with the patched boot image saved me from a lot of headache and wasted time... I would prefer if it was not a "go edition" rom but its still better than stock.
Sorry, more follow-up questions:
1. My bootloader is unlocked. It did not wipe the device (I used the "developer options" in the "Settings" menu to do it. Fastboot indicates the bootloader is unlocked. Do I need to redo unlocking the bootloader? For what it's worth, all my attempts to flash everything with my presumably unlocked bootloader have been unsuccessful.
2. Where did you find a .gsi of Lineage OS 15 for the Lenovo TB-X104F? I cannot find one.
Thanks

Make sure you fastboot flash unlock and fastboot flash unlock_critical. Just look an here for the links for lineage gsi. It flashes just fine and is super easy. I have resurrection remix on my 104f. I'm trying to compile twrp for it right now but hard to do with kids lol also if you use the lenovo tool you can download the recovery files which has boot recovery and all that in it and you can use magisk to patch the boot.ing and then copy that to the Lenovo tool and replace the stock boot img then recover it and you now have a working patched boot.img. I went through the same thing
Any Luck?
Any luck with that twrp? I'm willing to test it out...
Would like to be able to use the resurrection remix pie rom with gapps. So I can hopefully give some helpful feedback... one warning I am an amateur at anything beyond using fastboot and some adb commands, but I can learn pretty quick if i have the time to spend...
Another warning I have a sub-par windows pc to work with (and its the wife's) it prob can't run Linux in VM.
Disable "go edition" in Resurrection Remix Oreo
Using root explorer...
Navigate to /system
Copy build.prop to internal storage
Navigate to where you saved copy of build.prop
Edit build.prop that you copied to internal storage...
Find ro.config.low_ram=true and change to ro.config.low_ram=false
Save and exit file
Copy edited build.prop back to /system (make backup of original and overwrite with edited one)
Set permissions to owner read write (rw-------)
Navigate to /sbin/.magisk/mirror/system
Copy build.prop to internal storage
Navigate to where you saved copy of build.prop
Edit build.prop that you copied to internal storage...
Find ro.config.low_ram=true and change to ro.config.low_ram=false
Save and exit file
Copy edited build.prop back to /sbin/.magisk/mirror/system (make backup of original and overwrite with edited one)
Set permissions to owner read write (rw-------)
Reboot
This allowed me to set notification access again (its disabled in "go edition")
Hey guys, I'm trying to follow the steps in this thread to install Resurrection Remix Pie on the tablet using fastboot but whenever I try to flash a ROM to the system partition I get a (remote: size too large) error.. Does anyone know why this could be? I've tried using flags like -S, I've wiped the partitions and I don't know what else I can try. I have tried with Lineage, AOSiP and RR GSIs.
Thanks.
I cant get this to work.. What version of RR or Lineage OS works with tb-x104f?
up..................
I got the final version of rr oreo running fine... no luck with the latest rr pie unfortunately...
Anyone know if this is an A or AB device?

Open Magisk Manager, Tap on Uninstall. You will see 2 options, Complete Uninstall and restore stock images.
*Nevar tap on the complete uninstall option, It will throw your phone into bootloop
To install to inactive slot, Tap on install, You will get 2 options, Release Notes and Install. Tap on Install again and select install to inactive slot, Reboot from within Magisk Manager.
The simplest way I've found to install Stock Rom is just using adb sideload.
Boot into TWRP and wipe as you would with any custom rom.
Go to advanced and adb sideload.
Send the adb sideload command from your computer with the relevant zip file.
Doesn't require any additional softward like NOST or OST....

It's easy. Get an OTA .zip file, Re-Boot to recovery and flash it. Or Use the ADB Sideload method.
Most likely installing the OTA would fail if the device is rooted because, Magisk will patch the boot.img.
Then I'll need to wait for another update, the September one, right? Because I installed it with ADB and have Magisk installed so I don't really want to mess with it until I have to.

I just took an OTA with Magisk installed it went fine. (September patch)
OK, then it doesn't seem to work. Trying to follow the steps, the system update gives an installation error. I'm guessing that somewhere along the road I've messed something up, so it seems stock rom and Magisk isn't an option for me.

Restore images before you do anything, If installation fails keep trying again. It happens to me to.

Really? I did the restore via Magisk and that seemed fine, but then the update part didn't work. It downloaded then gave the error so I quit and started again with a fresh installation, minus Magisk.
Sent from my Nokia 6.1 Plus using Tapatalk
Have you guys modified the system/vendor partition in any way? If you did, Then it will obviously fail.
@Bluebriz and @Hymix I agree. It's the september security patch causing the installation issue.
It fails for me no matter what, Unless I completely un-root. But this method works perfectly fine on the August update.
Lets see for the October patch.
Okay, I can specifically narrow this down to way the September patch. The september patch requires the August security patch as a precondition to install. And that's where something funky is happening.
Guys a quick update. October update has been released but it also fails to install. This time I've managed to find the cause, Apparently some service that needs to be used for the update is being blocked/used by Magisk. (I could be wrong here)
The error code according to the recovery is 20(kDownloadStateInitializationError)
Is there any update to this issue?
Tried removing Magisk, didn't help.
Yesterday I got November security update ..iam using magisk...so it is showing installation problem...I tried in recovery and ADB method both didn't work.. finally I ended in bootloop ...so I again installed stock ROM...any solution is there without resetting each time how to install security updates..coz each time my data balance was wasted??

Question Rooting Mi Pad 5 Pro (China)

Any guide on unlock/rooting Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro from China? I need root access + english. If there is HD Netflix, it would be great.
Go through the regular Xiaomi unlock process (register device, connect to unlocking tool, wait 7 days, unlock). Unlocking will wipe (factory reset) the device. Choose English when setting up the device after unlocking.
Download Magisk and install.
Download Fastboot enuma ROM from Xiaomi. (Fastboot is easier than recovery)
Extract boot image from ROM zipfile.
Copy boot image file to device and use Magisk to patch the file. Copy file back to PC.
Reboot into fastboot. Fastboot flash patched boot image (possibly best to flash A & B, but if something goes wrong then its a long process to recover).
Reboot. Rooted.
There is another thread with details on getting HD Netflix & Amazon working if it does not by default.
Sorry, I have no knowledge of software.
Magisk download from playstore and install on phone?
Any link to download the fastboot enuma rom?
What is Fastboot flash patched boot image? What is A and B?
While everyone must admittedly start from somewhere, I will need to caution you that blindly following instructions from the internet may end up with you having an un-usable device. Having some idea of what the instructions are doing is a far safer option.
Secondly, rooting is not a magical solution for everything, you indicated you *need* root, yet you also seem unfamiliar with Magisk. So are you sure you really need root? Root will not magically make the system native English UI if that is what you were hoping. You would need to use the Chinese ROM in English, or wait until a Global rom is released or 3rd party roms.
Unlocking Xiaomi / Mi devices is well documented you can follow any of those guides.
Once unlocked:
Download Magisk apk from here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk copy to the device and install.
Download the ROM for your device. Preferably the same version that is already on the device. Also preferably the "fastboot" type. Fastboot type has the individual files you need inside the zipfile, plus this will be a good backup to have in case something goes wrong as the fastboot ROM can be used to re-install.
You can try xiaomirom.com for the rom files, check that the download comes from the official xiaomi site though. "enuma" is the model name for the Pro 5G version.
Unzip the rom file and copy the boot.img file to the device
Open magisk on the device and choose install, select and patch a file, choose the boot.img file.
Copy the patched file back to a PC, reboot the tablet into fastboot mode and connect to the PC
On the PC make sure you have the right drivers installed and the fastboot program (no idea how to do this on windows).
In a command shell window type fastboot flash boot <name of patched file>
Reboot the tablet. Open Magisk and it should say installed and you should have root access
Heard of bricking and unbricking solutions.
I rrequire root access to system files or app files inaccessible normally.
I am ok with China rom as long as most of its UI is in English with Google Playstore.
"Download the rom for your device"? Any website link to do so? Hmmm... I am so confused. Any YouTube videos to show step by step? The first part to signing into xiaomi account to unlock device is ok. But the rooting part sounds so complicated.
Pardon me for my inexperience.
Check in Magisk manager if Mi Pad 5 Pro uses A/B partition. If so, flashing a patched boot.img to both partition is required.
fastboot flash boot_a patched_boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b patched_boot.img
I cant this working with 'https://hackmd.io/@EdwardWu/ArrowOS_elish'
can anyone help please?

Question Downgrade Nord 2 from A.21 to A.20 / install android 12

Hey guys, since I couldn't find a tutorial for downgrading the Nord 2, here is my way how i did it:
[IMPORTANT: @EricH7001 replied that there is an easier workaround to install android 12 (https://community.oneplus.com/wap/thread?id=1170930960406413321) where you don't have to flash A.20. I would still recommend doing a TWRP backup before trying this method. Some people in that thread said that they couldn't install the C.10 afterwards so proceed at your own risk]
Quick disclaimer: you WILL lose ALL your data so I would strongly recommend that you do a twrp backup now
files you need:
partitionsbackupper
adb (pllatform-tools)
A.20 firmware (donwload here)
unlocked bootloader
how to preceed:
1. place the extracted firmware file (folder named PartitionsBackup) and the partionsbackupper.bat in the platform-tools folder
2. boot the phone into fastboot mode
3. run the partitionsbackupper.bat file and select restore
4. after the installation the phone should reboot.
5. reboot to recovery if not already in (if you end up in fastboot mode just type "fastboot reboot recovery)
6. in recovery mode select wipe and then wipe data
7 after that format data
8. the phone will now reboot into oxygenOS 11 A.20
There you go! You can now install the android 12 C.01 from the oxygen updater app
Thanks for your tutorial, I'll do it on my phone tomorrow when I get to work
