Hello! 'Know of any custom twrp for the XT2165-5 "Tonga" ???
My Moto G Power (2022) is a factory unlocked, North American Retail version.
I have rooted it with Magisk, but still have the default Recovery.
'Would like to have TWRP recovery as a convenience, but it's not a necessity
since I'm already rooted.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Happy New Year 2023!
Unfortunately the dev scene for the Moto G "tonga" seems to be fairly inactive. I've been attempting to learn about ways to go about porting TWRP but I must admit my Android knowledge is fairly lacking since I came from the iOS jailbreak scene. Will definitely post a thread on XDA if/when I make progress.
With that said if anyone could point me towards any guides for porting TWRP I'd appreciate it as it seems a lot of what i find is fairly outdated?
Yes, I haven't seen much available for the Moto G Power "tonga", either.
There is a site on GitHub named "twrpbuilder" --
"Official site of the TWRP Builder Project"
Can't comment on it, 'only browsed the site ...

Hey,
Greetings to you. I, too, have a 2022 Motorola Tonga; I have the X2165DL, though, and it's not unlocked. I was wondering if you'd be willing to point me in the right direction with regards to HOW you managed to get it rooted? I have been met with no success at all in my search to root this phone. I would be appreciate your assistance very much.
I look forward to your response.
Thank you, I hope, in advance.

Hi ... I believe that any Moto device with the letters "DL" at the end is a Tracfone model. They are very, very difficult to unlock. Sorry to break the news.
Otherwise, you might be able to find an unlock service (or hacker) -- and pay a fee to unlock the bootloader. It won't be cheap. ( Note: some that advertise that they can unlock a Moto xxxx- DL cannot really do it - they just take your money.
BTW: The Moto G (2022) Power is inexpensive to buy new --from Motorola or Amazon, etc. You want the "Retail US" model -- works on any network -- and then you can go to the Motorola website for the unlock code, for free.
You don't need the retail version, you can unlock the boost version. Mine was 40 bucks new from target. If it is unlockable, the OEM unlock switch will become toggleable after 72 hours of using the device. Even if it can't be through Motorola you can use mtk tools to root it, but you'll have to look that up and read about using it. I have not used it myself but there is a group by the name of A-team discussion on a certain popular messaging app that can help

No, nothing new .. As you mentioned, rooting is easy -- twrp is not a necessity.
IF YOU WANT TO UNLOCK YOUR PHONE READ THIS
had to ask moto for unlock code. waited 12 hours to receive reply, it went to spam folder (all previous did not)
oem unlock was not an option (there is an option in the developer menu to OEM unlock) . had to factory reset (using software of the OS itself, i did one with recovery and it did not unlock it....)
but wait .. it didn't unlock right away.. i had to unlock developer settings.. then go into developer settings... then TURN OFF DEVELOPER SETTINGS .. and OEM UNLOCK suddenly was selectable .. I CLICKED IT..
for root...
this is RETUS channel is retail us .. if you backup in the directory you can get all others
lolinet mirrors - firmware, software, iso etc.

this appears to be an official repository, i was able to use the boot.img with magisk and root
fastboot flash vbmeta --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta.img
i hear not doing this will boot loop, i just did it
and that command can only be entered in fastboot, not fastbootd
this was a 'factory unlocked' phone purchased from target

Can't believe this phone didn't get TWRP after all this time... Seems like a good phone for a custom rom.

Hello everyone,
tl;dr version
What's the best way to install a custom rom on the Redmi Note 3 out of the box with a locked bootloader. What is the best rom to use for maximum functionality.
I have been following these forums for a while, but haven't got around to creating an account and posting. I'm new to flashing roms, and my experience goes as far as following guides to flash a Samsung S4, and a Samsung S2. The Samsung phones were really easy to flash, and I just followed guides in a robotic way without ever actually learning anything. For the record, CM12 on the Samsung S2, which I'm using because I smashed my S4, is absolutely unbelievable in regards to the increase of performance.
One of my work friends was telling me that he has a mate who bought a Chinese phone really cheap and flashed it. Getting excited, knowing exactly where I need to look to flash a phone, I impulsively researched these phones and bought a Redmi Note 3 for $173 AUD. It's on the way in the mail. Having looked at the hardware specs, this price is absolutely ridiculous. I was more swayed to buy the Redmi Note 3, because multiple sites reported that the second sim slot can hold a micro SD card. The only downside I can see to this phone is the bloatware and stock rom that it comes with, and the reason for this post is to discuss the best way in which to flash a new rom. If you have managed to read this far, thanks for reading my life story!
Having limited experience in the phone flashing world, from researching it looks like the flashing process is something like:
Unlock the bootloader
Flash a recovery program
Use the recovery to flash rom/app
My understanding of the bootloader and why it needs to be unlocked is limited. I've done some research around it, and this is what I have found. The bootloader is the first thing that runs when the phone starts up, loads the kernel and the rom, and verifies that you have a legit recovery program. It needs to be unlocked so you can put a custom recovery on to your phone. Once you have that sorted, flashing roms from the recovery is a pretty straight forward process. If I'm wrong, please correct me, because this is what I have understood from looking around and I'm not confident about my understanding.
Unlocking the Bootloader On The Redmi Note 3
Having read on multiple sites, this looks like the biggest constraint when trying to flash a custom rom on the Redmi Note 3. This is because Xiaomi have locked the bootloader for this device, when most other phones do not have this problem. Most flashing guides for the Redmi Note 3 assume that the boodloader is unlocked or list it as a pre-requisite, so I'm unsure what path to take here. From research, it looks like there are 3 possible ways to move forward from here:
Official Bootloader Unlock
Unofficial Bootloader Unlock
Bypassing The Bootloader Unlock
Because my account is new, the following links aren't hyperlinked and in a good format due to permissions. Sorry! It'd be sweet if a mod could edit it.
1. Official Bootloader Unlock
This seems like the most legit way to unlock the bootloader. Apparently you just go to: endotmiuidotcom/unlock/ and apply for an unlock by using google translate and creating an account. People have reported response times taking over a month, not getting a successful application, or the unlocking process getting stuck at 50%. To me this doesn't sound appealing and I'm not too keen on waiting a month to find I'm unsuccessful in applying.
2. Unofficial Bootloader Unlock
This process is found here: endotmiuidotcom/thread-253680-1-1.html and looks to be a bit tedious. Apparently there is a high chance for a brick using this method, and some custom recoveries don't work well with it. My other concern is that if the brickrate is high, and this method was released around april, it could be possible that Xiaomi has made some further updates, further increasing the chance for a brick.
3. Bypassing The Bootloader Unlock
I found this process on a post from these forums, which then sourced a reddit post. The reddit post is pretty straight forward and can be found here: wwwdotredditdotcom/r/Xiaomi/comments/5611tg/psa_you_can_flash_twrp_and_subsequently_cm13/ .This process works by flashing a legit miui rom, but by flashing it with a modified recovery image, in particular, a custom recovery like TWRP. Having considered the three methods, this looks like the easiest way of getting it done.
My questions are: has anyone done any of these three methods successfully? What method do you recommend? Have I missed anything? Are there any other methods?
My understanding is once the bootloader is unlocked, you install TWRP. Then once that is installed you flash whatever rom you want, which leads into my next question. What is the best ROM to use?
It looks like the most viable roms are the CM roms. I've seen CM 13 and CM 14, are people running CM 13 instead of 14. Why? Is it more stable? Ideally I'm after the most functionality possible. Are there any other roms that you'd recommend flashing? When flashing roms are you supposed to do all the standard things that you would on other phones, factory wipe/cache wipe/davlik cache wipe, flash rom, flash gapps? I've also seen that CM needs firmware flashed before the rom, will this mess anything up and can it brick? Can you do all this stuff from TWRP with a locked bootlader (method 3)? I really like having notification badges too, what will I need to do for this to happen?
If you have read all of this, I really appreciate you taking the time. I hope I haven't broken any forum rules in the process.
dude,it's too much to read for people. I can't believe i read it,anyway.
about unlocking the bootloader process(I'm telling you about my experience):
---step 1 : you sign up for a mi account,choose your country and verify your phone number>login to your mi account on your device(remember to enable every feature on your mi account on your device,you can disable backup)> go to https://i.mi.com and check your device,it should be there> go to http://en.miui.com/unlock/ , write for example dear sir or madam, I'm an austrailian developer and I want to try and work on projects like cyanogen mods and other custom roms. sincerely,JaFranchise - alright,after finishing the writing go to translate.google.com and translate it to chinese,then paste on the form,then apply,you will confirm your request by entering the code that was sent to you via mi message --- for me it took about 3 to 4 hours to receive my confirmation.
---step 2 : first try this,if you stuck on 50% error,you will try step 3,so here is the instruction,
sign in to your mi account on your device(enable find device),also on i.mi.com(to check your device). enable developer options,OEM unlocking and USB debugging. > download the latest version of MIFlashUnlock tool and log into your account link : http://bigota.d.miui.com/miflashunlock/MiFlashUnlock_1.1.0317.1_en.zip> turn off your device and go to fastboot (press and hold volume - and power button at the same time), connect your device to your PC, click unlock(on MIFlashUnlock tool), after your bootloader successfully unlocked, click on reboot.
---step 3 : this is for kenzo devices(redmi note 3 pro - snapdragon650) - if you're using redmi note 3(mediatekX10), you should download the roms(stable and developer) according to your device
you need to switch from global stable to global developer rom, download the latest global developer rom on android lollipop(5.1). link : http://bigota.d.miui.com/6.8.18/miui_HMNote3ProGlobal_6.8.18_d0da79d09e_5.1.zip> after downloading the rom,rename the file name to Update.zip then copy to internal storage(in downloaded_rom folder).> open updater app, select choose update package, go to downloaded_rom folder and select Update.zip. It will verify your rom and install it. > download the latest global developer rom from en.miui.com/download-301.html , repeat the instruction or just simply download via updater > then follow step 2
I think,It's better you first unlock bootloader,then mention me in the comments to go through that(about cm and aosp roms and flashing instructions) process.
goodluck.
Thanks for your reply and for reading it all. So your advice is unlock the bootloader the official way. I know it's too much to read, that's why I put a tl;dr section, because I probably wouldn't read that much! The last thing I want to do is annoy people.
Cheers for specifically telling me what I'd need to write in the application, massive help. Maybe some people have been unsuccessful because they haven't said the right things.

It's alot easier than it sounds. The hardest part is probably getting the drivers on your computer installed properly to unlock bootloader/miflash. The good thing about this device is if you brick it, it's fairly simple to unbrick via the edl method but yea, official unlock bootloader - flash zcx twrp - make a backup - flash away

So it looks like official unlock is the way to go about things. Why ZCX version of TWRP?
ZCX is essentially the official TWRP, but with some extra stuff in it to allow it to support F2FS, if I'm not mistaken. Since you've decided to unlock your bootloader the official way, both ZCX and the official twrp are fine.

you're welcome,yes if you officially unlock the bootloader,everytime you face an issue,for example got your bootloader locked again,you can use miflashunlock with ease.about the version of the twrp,i should say ZCX_TWRP_0917 is the way to go,it got everything you'll ever needed except for encryption you need lazyflasher-I don't want to go into details to make you confused-for more info about twrp and other roms check these links :

Hey everyone I have just received a phone from assurance wireless and it’s a Wicko Phone. I called them and they are saying it’s the Wicko Life 2. In topic I show what a root checker shows as a model number and the sku number which came on the box.
Does anyone know if there is anyway to root this device. I would like to try a faster custom rom or overclock and just overall have root privileges. I have yet to find any information on this particular phone and would greatly appreciate it if anyone can pass along some info or a tutorial. I am friends with Max Lee on Facebook but I have not heard back from him so I figured I’d try here.
-cheers
@y0rper69
With regards to this phone's specs look inside here
Anyone have a crack at this one the boot loader only shows recovery option or normal boot.
@y0rper69
The phone is based on MediaTek chipset MT6739CH. Hence look inside here to get info about how phone's Android can get rooted.
I checked the website and downloaded the tools under windows 10. I plugged the device in and when I run either tools with usb debugging and developer mode enabled I’m not getting the device to show. I ran adb usb and says no device connected?
It does say that some devices may not be supported. I can check to see debugging is on and windows. detects the device for tethering etc but will not show with adb
Update : found the latest media tech drivers unsigned. Phone is now detected.
When I click root it says Su inaccessible - through CWM it is possible to get root on this phone look urls
It says to click on block map but when I click block map nothing is listed in any colums per the guide on the xda link that was given. /viewtTopic.php?P=502084#p502084. Not sure how to populate colums when reading block..
With two view topics so I’m following them now.. will update 2: mtk droid tools does not support new mtk chipsets. I’ve tried iRoot and latest kingroot and neither are supported but had an option to let them known the device is not supported.
Any other pros able to take a hack at this? This is one of those free Obama phones from assurance wireless it’s the Wicko Life 2

I'm pretty sure you can buy replacement ones for $10. I would just cough up the money and replace it. That or throw in $10 more and get an upgrade
Basically you have to unlock the bootloader and then follow the instructions on the mtk-client page. Make sure to make a backup first and to install the magisk version listed. Afterwards you have to update magisk a couple of times. I have not gotten viper4android or James dsp to work yet. Also just to mention magisk no longer has an online repo to download from. I will put links below. This software should work for a lot of other devices that have mtk processors as long as the bootloader can be unlocked. For a long time I gave up on rooting this phone because I couldn't find a stock rom / boot.img for it. Another thing to mention is that you may have to change the extension of the boot image file around from .bin to .img and vice versa. Also the latest usbdev driver crashed my windows 10 but installing the version before the latest didn't crash my windows 11 install. I just did all this about 2 days ago so I am still finding issues that need to be worked on. I am not a software developer by any means. So far I have not gotten any audio mods to work but I have had issues with them on many devices. I can confirm that the backup and restore of apps and their data work on the 2 U307AS that I have. Getting the latest magisk alpha image to stick seems to not be working with the direct install method. It doesn't look like we can use magisk unless it is the alpha version. I have not tried patching the latest magisk into the boot.img and then flashing it with mtk-client yet. Another note (lots of them, lol) is I didn't know where the mtk-client program was looking for the patched boot.bin when it came to the part about flashing with an empty vmeta whatever file. I ran the command anyways which gave the error about the missing boot.bin file but it did do the empty vbmeta flash so I just flashed the patched boot.bin with the mtk-client gui afterwards. Hopefully no one hosed their windows os because I failed to mention the issue with the usbdev driver.

There's no way to root this a phone with the following, is there?
OP N10 5G / TMO / BE2025.BE88CB / 11.0.2.BE88CB
- Bootloader unlocked.
- Not rooted.
Seems to me there's no MSM tool for the BE88CB (TMO) variant, no TWRP, and no flashed boot images available.
Do I have this right? Rooting is impossible?
How much of a loss do you want to risk? (I think a refurb is ~$250 now for an international).
I'd try the TWRP for the international one, and you can flash Magisk directly from that (rename .apk to .zip); I've never needed the boot images.
If that doesn't work, I think you can MSM the ENTIRE international recovery image over it... even if you lose some of the T-mo bands (m-wave?) it is still pretty quick (mine is a international phone, on Tmo, 5G works great for me).
If the bootloader is unlocked, you should be in good shape.
YMMV, no refunds, at your own risk, etc. I have gotten braver in my old age, though.
I've been through this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...bile-metro-w-locked-bootloader.4297501/page-5
But both links to MSM the TMO to GLO are dead, so the MSM is currently not available.
The TWRP for the international... I'll happily try that, do you know where it is? I've tried booting to 3.5.2_10-1 and it boots but the touchscreen doesn't work via `fastboot boot` (not `fastboot flash boot` ) which can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/twrp-3-5-2_10-billie-twrp-for-oneplus-nord-n10-5g-beta.4256333/

nah man you can actually unlock the bootloader without tmo carrier unlock and root...see my guide to do that, its as straight forward as any other oneplus, but basically you have to request the bootloader unlock code from oneplus, then assuming your carrier unlocked or use the guide to break the carrier lock functionality. If your already at that point grab the boot image for your version, store on device, root that image with magisk manager then flash it in bootloader

So there's been an MSM download tool for the B88 this whole time while everybody was saying "there's no MSM for TMobile". ?!?!

Great signature @SomeRandomGuy
Oops
you can install the global rom on both lito(metro) or billie. With or without locking the bootloader. that same process will unbrick the device as well, ive done it several times. if for some reason msm and the global rom disappeared, I do have it.

Here's one not rooted. Came from a restore package on telegram, you might check it out...it's 11.02 or 10.5.12 for restore .no msm needed...worked for me with fastboot.
##copy/pasted from telegram, I did NOT make these, just helping people save time.....oh if your on Linux run dos2unix on the bat file, you'll also have to change reboot-bootloader to reboot bootloader and set-active-slot becomes set_active a/b
**********************
I've put together two bundles to restore the OnePlus Nord N10 5G to Factory OS without the need for MSM Download Tool. One for OOS10 and one for OOS11.
Simply boot into the bootloader (Fastboot mode) and run the script! ("OnePlusNordN10_Restore.bat") (Roughly 5 minute duration to restore, give or take)
Note that all custom ROMs currently available require you to be on OOS10 in order to boot successfully. We hope to change this soon, but this is how it is for now until OnePlus properly re-syncs their Android 11 Kernel.
These are for the International variants only! If you require the European firmware, you will have to extract it's OTA payload and replace the appropriate files.

Hey all,
I recently purchased a Unihertz Titan Pocket and I'm looking to try out LineageOS on it. I found this project on Github and have read through the instructions; however, they are for the *Unihertz Titan*, not the Pocket. I'm not sure they will work for the model I have and regardless, I'm wary about trying something that I know little about. Could anyone take a look at the link and let me know if the instructions could work for me?
Here are some additional links, for anyone else who is working on the same or similar goals:
-Official firmware and flash tool from Unihertz (for trying to restore bricked/messed up devices)
-Rooting Guide for Unihertz Titan Pocket
I am interested in flashing a custom ROM such as LineageOS onto my Unihertz Titan Pocket. It's my understanding that I will need custom recovery software such as TWRP in order to carry out the installation process. There is no official build of TWRP for the Unihertz Titan Pocket, and I haven't been able to find any unofficial builds for it either. So I have three questions:
1) Does anyone know of an unofficial TWRP build for my device?
2) Is there someone who might be able to create an unofficial build? I am willing to help as best I can, but my knowledge of how to do so is essentially null. I found this thread for the TWRP Builder project, which looked awesome, but seems to be defunct at this point. I also found this answer from a contributor to the project, who claims (as of 2021) that the project is on hiatus but "making a progressive return." The thread looks pretty dead to me though so it's hard to tell if they are back up and running in any capacity.
3) Is there another way to flash a custom ROM without TWRP? For example, these instructions (for a different model, the Unihertz Titan) don't mention using TWRP.
[For others with a Unihertz Titan Pocket, I asked about finding and installing a build of LineageOS on this device in another post here]

did the author succeed in his trials?
I am looking to obtain root on Pocket, but would rather have someone who has done it already guide me if necessary
I was able to install LineageOS on the Titan Pocket, following this tutorial:
Rooting Cubot KingKong Mini 2 | Deadbadger
Jakub Kaderka personal webpage, electronic hacking, projects,etc.
deadbadger.cz
What I am not able to do is to use the numbers on the physical keyboard, does anyone have an idea how to make it work? I assume it's something with the keyboard layout. I installed the KIkaInput.apk thinking that is the one missing, but still not working.

There's a tool on github (look for uinput-titan-pocket on google, you should find it) that maybe can help! If you succeed in making the keyboard work could you please share the info? I want to get a lineageOS GSI but the Titan Pocket is my main phone so I need it to be fully functional.. Hope I helped!
EDIT: uinput is for the touch scrolling, this (https://github.com/SinuXVR/pocket-board) seems to be the solution to hat you asked.

Andy Yan's personal builds // GSI - Browse /lineage-18.x at SourceForge.net

Also to have the right keyboard settings you need to edit the keylayout files.

Can you edit /system/usr/keylayout with LineageOS? I can't edit it with stock rom?
There are any problem? All is working?
Can you explain the steps to install it?
Download the latest bvS version of GSI Lineage from this folder:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-18.x/
Enter Settings->Phone info and tap several times on the Build number, now in Settings->System->For Developers allow Debug over USB and Bootloader unlock
Connect to PC with android SDK installed and run adb reboot bootloader, you'll need to confirm device authorization on your phone.
Once in bootloader, run fastboot flashing unlock to unlock the bootloader and follow the instructions on your phone (this step factory resets the phone, you'll loose all your data).
Download the official stock ROM and unpack the downloaded rar. (
https://www.reddit.com/r/unihertz/comments/r2dz0a
)
In the directory with unpacked ROM, run fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img to flash the vbmeta.img with disabled Android Verified Boot to allow flashing unofficial ROMs.
Reflash the recovery and boot partitions by running fastboot flash boot boot.img and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Technically this shouldn't be needed, but if your phone is running a different stock ROM version, it's advisable.
fastboot reboot fastboot reboot to fastboot, the system can be flashed only from this mode, for some reason it doesn't work in the previous mode...
Now you can flash the system.img by running the fastboot flash system YOUR_SYSTEM_IMAGE.img. Select system.img file from the ROM you want to flash.
fastboot reboot and you are booted in your new ROM!
Once it is booted into Lineage enable Rooted ADB debugging in the Developer Settings. Now we need to fix the keyboard settings. Download and install the following apk:
com.blackberry.keyboard-4.1904.2.16698.apk
drive.google.com
Then disable the soft keyboard in the Settings.
Download https://github.com/SolidHal/Unihertz-Titan-lineageos-microg
adb root
adb remount
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /
adb push system_usr_idc/* /system/usr/idc/
adb push system_usr_keychars/* /system/usr/keychars/
adb push system_usr_keylayout/* /system/usr/keylayout/
Then restart your phone. I hope it will work for you.
On the Pocket, the system partition is called "Super".
The command should then be "fastboot flash super (My System ROM.img)...". Correct?

The Titan Pocket and Titan Slim use a super partition, which has a number of different .img files embedded inside of it. You can flash the super.img to your super partition from the stock rom zip, but you can't just flash system alone, you need to repackage the super.img in order to then flash it. I am working on a number of projects for the Titan series, i just ordered a Slim this morning, so i will get to work detailing the differences in the process between the Titan and the Titan Slim (which will mostly be transferable to the Titan Pocket, at least i expect so).
I also flashed Andy Yan's personal build of lineage-18.1-20220715-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvS.img on my Titan Pocket. It booted up, but with one problem: mobile communication does not work at all: the SIM is recognised correctly, but it is completely disconnected from the mobile network and shows 'emergency call only'.
I have flashed the image using the following steps:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot -w
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot fastboot # I don't know the details, but the Titan Pocket cannot flash system in Bootloader mode.
fastboot flash system lineage-18.1-20220715-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvS.img
fastboot reboot
I have been struggling with this problem for a month now and am stuck. Does anyone have any information on this? Thanks.

Your steps look questionable. Titan Pocket and Titan Slim dont have flashable system partitions. As noted above they have super partitions.
Hi everyone, Im new here and will start by saying I've never successfully installed a custom ROM, so I'm heavily in the research phase.
I have a Titan Pocket in route and is my goal to set it up with a new os and trashcan Google for good. I'm at a toss-up right now between LineagOS or GrapheneOS.
From what I've read so far, Graphene is only "officially" supported for Google pixel phones. Does anyone know if it can still work on the Pocket?
If not I might default to Lineage and follow the advice in this thread. I'm also open to any suggestions for security base ROMs I should consider. TIA.
I'm new to forums, I apologize if this is all wrong and such. I was wondering if there is a way I can root a MetroPCS TCL IonX (T430W) running android 12 with magisk. I can't find anything for the IonX, it's all other variants of "Ion." I'm quite familiar with rooting and such, I'm just looking for the files, twrp or such. If you know where I can get them, please lemme know.
I'm sorry if this is in the wrong spot. I didn't see anything for TCL devices, I've never used forums before.
Hi! I don't see your particular device, but here (link below this paragraph) is where you can find all TCL devices we do have sections for. I am not knowledgeable about TCL, otherwise I'd help you myself, and these days on my Pixel, I don't even use TWRP to root - just Magisk, but I know this varies depending on the device and the files that are available. Hopefully, someone in one of the other TCL device sections can help you.

I have the T430W as well and after a month of trial and error I was able to get it rooted with magisk. I'll give you the quick summary of how I did it right now and once I get home from work I will try to get a more complete step by step guide for you.
1. Download and setup mtkclient by bkerler on github.
2. Enable usb debugging and oem unlock in developer options
3. Power off device
4. Open a terminal and mtk meta --metamode FASTBOOT
5. Plug phone up to computer. You should see the TCL logo and then black screen with fastboot mode in lower left corner.
6. fastboot flashing unlock and confirm on device with volume keys(WARNING this will erase your userdata)
7. Install LineageOS pre rooted GSI using DSU sideloader from github.
8. Either use a partition backup or adb shell then dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
9. Reboot to return to original system.
10. Patch boot image with magisk manager make sure the disable vbmeta option is selected.
11. Repeat steps 3 & 4
12. fastbooot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img {flash blank vbmeta image(I used the one from the google source page for DSU)}
13. fastboot flash boot /path/to/magisk_patched_img
14. Reboot and enjoy your rooted Ion X.
Or if you would like I can upload either the stock boot image or magisk patched image as long as you have done the UG67 OTA update.
We have no DA or AUTH files for SP Flash Tool and none of the current bypass methods work on our chipset, so whatever you do make sure you do not flash mmcblk0boot0 or mmcblk0boot1 as this will render your device hard bricked. The kernel source is available on sourceforge, I have gotten it to compile with no errors but haven't had a chance to test it yet. I'm working on getting TWRP or OFRP for our device compiled but haven't gotten very far. So far I haven't had any issues being rooted on the stock rom. I'm really glad that you posted this because I have been meaning to type up a guide as I believe being able to root your phone should be an option for everyone, but you posting this gave me the kick in the rear to actually do it.
Here is the stock boot and magisk patched boot image plus the blank vbmeta image
