Hey guys,
I've just recently brought a Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) - I've tried rooting it with "CF-Auto-Root-herolte-heroltexx-smg930f" on a stock rom downloaded from sammobile.
Nothing has been working. It successfully loads with Odin, reboots and says "Recovery Is Not Seandroid Enforcing" then reboots again and will not startup.
I'm not sure what is wrong. I've followed about 10 different sets of instructions and I've had no success with having any of it work.
The serial number of the device is: R58H729E0GM
The baseband version is: G930FXXU1DQEF
The build number is: NRD90M.G930FXXS1DQG5
I've enabled developer mode and enabled OEM unlocking.
If anyone has any experience I would very much appreciate it. I have no idea why it will not work.
Thank You so much in advance. (I've been searching for 2 days for a solution!)
I believe u need TWRP for that model, then flash CF-Auto with TWRP
Hey i have the same device rooted with twrp and herolte.img - install twrp and load the Image for your device ! Then you have to use odin and flash the herolte.img (in odin AP-Slot) to your device.
Then Boot up the device to twrp and Flash cf-image !
Hope this helps ....
If you need more Information ask here again...
Greetz & happy flashing
I have an OPPO A5s (cph1909) phone. I want to root it because ColorOS takes too much memory and to install a custom rom. I searched for stock rom but I found a stock firmware update file that can be installed by stock recovery. When I extracted the stock firmware, I found a boot.img file. Can I patch it with Magisk and install it by stock recovery? Won't my device go bootloop once I'm done?

The website quotes that, this method is for 'Oppo A5S (PD1818HF)', and I have OPPO A5s (CPH1909), will the method described in the website work for me? Can you please confirm that will this method brick my phone or not?

I noticed that the boot img included in the stock rom can be decompressed via zArchiver then, inside there is a file named "boot". There is no file extension maybe it is of ".bin" file format.

I have the same Oppo A5s (CPH1909), I'm Using MTK Easy Root By: JunioJsv®, To Tweak My Device, But not in full control..
For Ex:
Disable Some Apps - But not the All apps can be disable.. Some apps is Still Working when i already Disable it using Titanium Back Up..
Note: Root Privelage Is 100% Working
Lspeed - Tweak's is Working, But dont expect it to be applied in Boot, Since I'm Using MTK Easy Root "BOOTLESS Root" Only..
ToolBox - I'm Using this, To TurnOFF Start-Up Apps, Its Working 100% Sure..
But Don't Turn Off:
•Storage Manager - RAM/Performamce Drop
• Battery - RAM/Performamce Drop
•MediaStorage
•SystemUI
•ColorOS Launcher
•MultimideaLocalService - RAM/Performamce Drop
•Settings
•GameSpace - You Can't Add Games on it

try it! patch to magisk! https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/oppo-a5s-firmware-images-cph1909ex11a-34-t4064627
I can make roms and recoveries for this phone but anybody unlocked bootloader? Search for some hacks to unlock bootloader of this phone ?
It's impossible to patch and root Oppo A5s with your current version of Oppo A5s. But I think the other and only way to do that is to avoid the update security version that stops its users to bypass and root Oppo A5. So first, you will need to downgrade your current version. I have successfully patched the older version of stock firmware image of Oppo A5s named CPH1909_EX_11_A34 with latest Magisk Manager. Like usual, download, extract and patch the boot.img.
So the idea here is once you made yourself a patched file you can now use it flash in order to downgrade your device and make it rootable than ever. Then, you will need unlock it's bootloader in order install TWRP Recover to make stuffs flashable.
I'm sorry I can't put links in here yet because I'm a new registered acct here in xda. For the rest of the steps, just google "How to Downgrade Your Android Phone to a Previous Version".
I haven't completed the whole process yet but soon, I will in my free time. Hope it helps?
so, to sum it all up. its not possible to have an alternative rom (android 9 at all?) on this phone model? particular cph1909....

You have the A10, which is a bit different than the A10s so it is most likely that any GSI that boots to your phone will not boot for mine. Besides, A10s does not have TWRP yet and A10 does

how to root SM-A107f Samsung Galaxy A10s
ShaDisNX255 said:
Yes.
Click to expand...

so this is what i did to root my A10s.
1. check what binary your phone is running I already updated mine so my phone is on Android 10 binary 6.
how to check your binary - goto setings-about phone-software info, check Baseband version so on my phone its A107FXXU6BTES the U6 indicates your binary some has U3 binary 3 or U5, S5 binary 5
once you determined your binary.
2. activate DEVELOPER OPTIONS then activate OEM UNLOCK
samfw.com/firmware/SM-A107F/XTC/A107FXXU6BTF
go to this website and download the appropriate firmware.
each will contain a BL, AP, CP, and Home_CSC.
3. once finished downloading unlock your bootloader just boot to download mode then there is an option to press and HOLD VOLUME UP to unlock bootloader then press volume up again. if it didn't reboot instantly press and hold volume up and down again just do it again until when you choose to unlockbootloader it will reboot instatly.
4. after unlocking bootloader just go through the entire process of setting up your phone keep the bootloader unlock, INSTALL Magisk manager, so yeah install magisk choose patch image then from your downloaded firmware remove the "MD5" at the end of the files so it will be AP_A107F.tar then choose the AP to patch hrough magisk
5. after patching copy the patched file to your PC extract it by WINRAR get the boot.img if its boot.img.lz4 it means patch was not sucessful
6. after getting the boot.img copy it to your phone again and patch again make sure to rename it boot.img from inside the generated patch file then compress it as TAR using 7zip
7. flash it through odin on AP section and there your magisk rooted.
sorry for the long post

Hi '''Mirloo''''About rooting the (Samsung Galaxy 10s SM-A107f) I have tried most of the rooting akps with no luck (cfautoroot I have not tried yet)'''''''As for using Odin & magisk I am getting so many different instructions from different posts
1 unlock the bootloader This I have done successfully
The next steps using Magisk & Odin Start to get misleading
one site says Copy the AP to your phone and patch it where another site says says change the format of the AP file to tar by deleting .mds then copy it to your phone
I seem to get confused now as what to do next ''''Please could you give me full instructions ....Thank you
I have attempted to patch boot.img around 7 times unsuccessfully, I have the SM-A107F, can someone please send me the correctly patched boot image for my device, will be much appreciated.

I'm also waiting for this. Tried flashing twrp recovery using odin but I failed. The error says "only official binaries are allowed to be flashed" tried flashing the original firmware but same error. Wondering why.
I have a Alcatel U3 4055T phone (same as TCL 4055T) and I have tried all the simple methods (PC/APK …Kingroot, kingoroot etc) of rooting it with NO SUCCESS. It has Android 6.0, Baseband MT6737M, 3G/LTE. Now I have thought of trying rooting it manually, I have read online and figured out that I might need do as follows:
(1( UNLOCK the boot-loader
(2) FLASH a custom Recovery (TWRP)
(3) EXTRACT Boot image from the phone
(4) PATCH the image in (3) with Magisk
(5) FLASH the patched image back to the phone
I have just successfully unlocked the boot-loader BUT I can find any version of TWRP or any other custom recovery to FLASH into my phone. I have tried all suitable TWRP(s) that I could find online with no success.
PLEASE help me out in rooting my phone … any help from the members and admins will be highly appreciated.
This is to inform that I have successfully rooted this phone using Magisk and now I can enjoy all those apps which require root. I wish to thank the makers of Magisk ... this was simple and straightforward . BUT I I still have stock recovery.

Well … the method I had used only applies to devices with MTK chips. The Best part is that the device only gets rooted after boot && running a script. Means if you wish to keep it un-rooted (for some reasons) you can also do that. The package contains 2 apks and one of them is “magisk” … and other is “mtk-easy-su” install both , you only have to run the later and it will execute magnisk. You can also tic the box for automatically root at boot. Here is the package: https://offlinemodapk.com/mediatek-easy-root-apk/#more-3134
To run those kinds of application, you need the Magisk Manager app if you have a rooted device. By enabling the magisk hide on the app, you would able to run whatever application you need, which cannot work on rooted devices. Becric
Hi, I've just bought a Cubot P50, it's a Chinese brand and seems more than decent for the price, I've rooted it with Magisk and I want to install TWRP on it but can't find anything for that brand. Has anyone came across a TWRP that might work on it?

I have the same phone how did you root it ? If there a guide that is safe to use ? Thank you
Unlock the bootloader first, this step will factory reset your phone https://romprovider.com/unlock-bootloader-android/
On your PC:
1. Install Fastboot driver
2. Install MediaTek_Preloader_USB_VCOM_Drivers_Setup_Signed
3. Extract platform-tools
4. On your phone, Enable Developer Options, USB debugging and OEM Unlocking
5. Unlock bootloader (this step will factory reset your phone): Phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt on PC > fastboot devices > fastboot flashing unlock. Note this will cause the phone to show the "Orange State" warning on boot up. You can ignore this or remove it later.
(If device is unauthorised in ADB or Fastboot, go to Developer Options on phone, revoke USB debugging authorisation, disable then enable USB debugging. You should now get an authorisation confirmation dialogue when you try to connect with ADB/Fastboot. If not, type "adb kill-server", then "adb devices" or "adb start-server" in the command prompt).
6. Place boot.img on phone with USB file transfer (either from stock ROM, or read from phone using SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1924_Win) and patch it with Magisk v5.2. NO need to patch vbmeta.img
7. Transfer patched boot.img back to PC
8. Flash the patched boot.img to phone either with SP Flash Tool or Fastboot command in ADB (fastboot flash boot boot.img). Take care here, make sure it's the right image going to the right location and that ALL other files are de-selected, especially the preloader file, always de-select this when flashing any firmware unless you know what you're doing!
Phone is now rooted.

It is possible that in the future, developers may create custom ROMs and TWRP recoveries for the device, especially if it becomes popular among the Android community.
If a custom ROM and TWRP recovery becomes available for your device in the future, you will be able to flash it by following the instructions provided by the developer. Keep in mind that installing custom ROMs and recoveries comes with some risks, and it is important to backup your data and follow the instructions carefully to avoid damaging your device.

Just get the latest version and follow the instructions I posted.
Thanks for your work on the Cubot phone .Im a fan of them also. I found that twrp recovery 3.40 works on the Note 20/20Pro you just have to flash vbmeta BEFORE and AFTER you flash twrp to the device. Im also seeing separate websites claiming twrp 3.40 is also used with the Cubot P40 model. I dont see why it wouldnt work with the P50. Its worth a shot. Also theres alot more "familiars" with Mediatek phones like these in Hovatek forum. Since you already have information on how to root maybe consider starting your own P50 thread over there.

Hi, you will have, or should have, downloaded a zip file containing a recovery.img. The recovery.img is the file you need to flash. Then follow the instructions here:

I get it, but I have to flash the .bin to remove the yellow/red state on boot. I don't know how to install the lk.bin file. If you can help me. Thank you.
Ah I see, you're rooting the phone first. Ok I've just checked my own notes on this, so, if you have edited the lk.img file as described in that Hovatek thread, then do as follows:
When flashing with SP Flash Tool, make sure the correct lk.img file is chosen as SP Flash Tool chooses lk-verified.img by default (click along to the right of the file list under "Location" and choose your edited lk.img file here).
OR, flash with ADB (fastboot flash lk lk.img).
Then install Magisk on your phone if you haven't already.
boot.img is for rooting the phone, lk.img is only to remove the orange state message and the 5 second delay when the phone boots, it does not actually remove it's orange state and is not needed for the phone to be rooted.
To un-root, you should just flash the original boot.img and lk-verified.img from the stock firmware ROM file.

Ah I see, you're rooting the phone first. Ok I've just checked my own notes on this, so, if you have edited the lk.img file as described in that Hovatek thread, then do as follows:
When flashing with SP Flash Tool, make sure the correct lk.img file is chosen as SP Flash Tool chooses lk-verified.img by default (click along to the right of the file list under "Location" and choose your edited lk.img file here).
OR, flash with ADB (fastboot flash lk lk.img).
Then install Magisk on your phone if you haven't already.
boot.img is for rooting the phone, lk.img is only to remove the orange state message and the 5 second delay when the phone boots, it does not actually remove it's orange state and is not needed for the phone to be rooted.
To un-root, you should just flash the original boot.img and lk-verified.img from the stock firmware ROM file.

Good morning. Thank you for the information given.
I wanted to ask: is it necessary or useful to install an antivirus on your smartphone now that it's been rooted? Thank you.
I haven't but that's just down to personal choice really. It's certainly useful if you like to try stuff from unknown sources, although personally I've rarely encountered viruses on Android. I'm not saying they don't exist though.
Have you successfully rooted your phone then? What about TWRP, have you tried that yet?
