Ok so I am a noob and have looked around the forum for about 3 hours not yet found a answer to my problem.
Well my goal was to try to use my Rezound with T-Mobile prepaid 4G but now I am stuck
I got what I believe to be the boot loader unlocked but s-on still and have TWRP v2.5.0.0 installed
I some how with all my poking around wiped the OS completely off it and lost my recovery and I must not of saved a recovery correctly on my computer and I am now having issues loading an image of an OS or installing one I have tried some of the images suggested in other post buy could get them to load successfully.
Can any one help me with some step by step instruction to reinstall an OS on my Rezound

By default, no. Follow these instructions to flash on an S-On device:
NOTE:
You must have the Android SDK downloaded and installed onto your computer.
You must be familiar with the SDK's install directory structure.
You must be familiar with using terminal and know how to cd to the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK's install directory.
1. Open the Rom zip with an archive tool such as 7zip and extract the boot.img from it.
2. Place the boot.img into the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK's install directory.
3. Put the Rom on the root of your SD Card
4. Compare MD5 Sum
Windows: MD5 Calculator
LINUX: Open Terminal and type: md5sum [path to the rom on your sd card]
Mac: Open a terminal and type: md5 [path to the rom on your sd card]
5. Reboot to Recovery
6. Scroll down and select "Wipe"
7. Wipe the following:
Quote:
Wipe ALL data/factory reset x2
Wipe /data x2
Wipe /cache x2
Wipe Dalvik-cache x3
Wipe /boot x2
Wipe /system x3
Optionally wipe:
Wipe battery stats
Wipe rotate settings
8. Scroll to and press return
9. Install Rom from SD Card
10. FOR GSM USERS ONLY - After flashing the ROM, re-wipe /data and then flash the GSM patch
11. Return to the main menu of the recovery and select "Developer Menu".
12. Select "Reboot to bootloader
13. Ensure your device is connected to your computer and that your device is now in fastboot mode. This is a white screen and it says fastboot on it.
14. Open a Terminal (OSX or Linux) or CMD window (Windows) and cd to the platform-tools directory of the Android SDK's install directory.
15. Issue this command to flash the boot.img we placed in the platform-tools folder earlier:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
16. Watch the output of the terminal, it should say something like "sent successfully".
17. Finally send this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
This command reboots your device into Android. Wait for it to boot up and enjoy your new freshly installed CM10.1.
Note: If you are having issues connecting your device to your windows computer in fastboot, please insure the drivers are up to date by installing the latest version of HTC Sync for the Rezound.

I am not that well versed with Android SDK I do have it on my computer
but do not how to use terminal that well and not sure what is meant by this (now how to cd to the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK's install directory)
and I do not under stand
4. Compare MD5 Sum
Windows: MD5 Calculator
LINUX: Open Terminal and type: md5sum [path to the rom on your sd card]
Mac: Open a terminal and type: md5 [path to the rom on your sd card]
On the link to the rom I posted for you you'll see an md5 value, you run an md5 tool against the file you downloaded and make sure they match, that tells you that the file isn't corrupted.

1) Install it via Recovery, should be an install option in TWRP.
2) from your PC connect to your phone via USB - fastboot flash boot c:\location\to\boot.img
Change the path to where ever you have the boot.img saved on your PC.
is the install suppose to say fail

I do install it from recovery TWRP install but after it does some processing it says fail. Does that matter did it do what it needed to do and it is just time to run the flash from the computer then, or is some thing wrong happening?

I think TWRP 2.5.0.0 requires that the installer have newer binaries, you may want to try CWM touch instead for a recovery.
how do I install a different recovery then

hello everyone ..... i will share the root trick without ubl (unlock bootloader)
this method only applies to root magisk only.
this trick I have tested with mobile phone huawei y5 2017 with android version 6.0
and xiaomi redmi note 3 mtk ..
what you prepare as follows:
1.Firmware same with your phone type (my recommendation is flash FW on your phone)
2.Boot.img from the appropriate firmware of your phone type
3.magisk manager
execution steps:
1. make sure the phone is connected internet
2. open the phone settings to activate usb debugging and install the source check from the outside in the security settings.
3. copy boot.img into sdcard on phone
4. install magisk manager application and open the application,
go to the settings on the top left and search "booted boot output format and you can choose according to your needs (if select img.tar, this works with Odin samsung). make your choice (if img = flash with fastboot or spflashtool, ufibox.
go back and select pairs and you will see 3 options "download zip, patch boot img file, install "
please select "patch img boot file" select file and search boot.img stored in sdcard and ok ... magisk manager will download automatically ... just wait until there is installation process is complete.
after finished you see its results in the internal memory in the folder "magisk manager"
there is a file named "patched_boot.img" that means success
copy patched_boot.img to laptop / pc and rename it to "boot.img" and flash it with the appropriate tool of your phone.
if boot.tar in flash with odin
if boot.img flash with spflashtool (if your chipset is mtk)
just install patched_boot.img your phone is rooted
thanks to @topjohnwu

thanks for visiting and hopefully to suc ...
Does this work with Sony Xperia X Performance (Android oreo) that has ubl no?
Hello is there any way to root OnePlus 9R oxygenOS ?
yes you can by flashing magisk img file
Open payload dumper and put the payload file from oxygen os rom zip to payload input folder, make sure that its the version that your phone is currently using.
then open payloaddumper.exe and wait until it is complete it would automatically close once its done, copy the boot.img file from the payload output folder and paste it in your internal storage of the phone
Now open the magisk app and click install and select and patch file and click on the boot.img file after magisk converts it to magisk patched.img copy and paste it to the adb tools folder , boot into fastboot mode and flash it by the command:
fastboot flash boot magiskpatched.img
Also the root will reset when you update your phone so you have to do this process again
That's it enjoy

Could you please explain in a basic way how to do it?
Unfortunately, it is frustrating that there is no TWRP for the (very good) MediaTek 8100 processor...
After several unsuccessful attempts, this worked for me:
1. unlock the bootloader
2. install the system that we are going to root
3. install the Magisk app (apk)
4. in the computer, "extract" the boot.img from the firmware that we have installed
Attention: boot.img for modification in the magisk app is downloaded from the correct (installed) firmware
5. copy this boot.img to the smartphone
4. in the Magisk application, we point to the copied boot.img file. The magisk application will modify this file and rename it (we look for the image in the download folder, rename it to boot.img, copy the file to the PC)
Attention: Install the adb drivers - there will be an adb folder on the c: drive, put the patched boot.img file there.
5. put the smartphone in fastboot mode
6. run the command line on the PC and enter the command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
We have root access in Xiaomi 12T!
IMPORTANT
Rooting can break your phone. Do this at your own risk.
Intro
This guide explains how you can root any Sony Android phone without installing a custom recovery like TWRP. It's possible by downloading the latest firmware, patching the boot IMG file with Magisk and flashing the patched boot IMG.
Note 1:
If you have the XQ-AU52_EU_59.2.A.0.463-R14C firmware installed (Sony Xperia 10 II EU Android 12), you can skip downloading the firmware and converting the file from SIN to IMG. Flash the patched "boot.img" file in the attachment instead.
Note 2:
If you don't like the skin that's installed along Android 12 on the Sony Xperia 10 II, you can downgrade the firmware by using Sony Xperia Flash Tool - Emma.
Note 3:
All files I collected are available
How to
Install all Android updates on your phone
Back-up your phone with a tool or Google back-up
Unlock the bootloader (wipes all data on your phone)
Sony users:
https://developer.sony.com/develop/...d/unlock-bootloader/how-to-unlock-bootloader/
Download the latest firmware
Sony users can use XperiFirm which you will find in the attachment
Make sure the version you download matches the one on your phone!
Convert the “boot SIN” file you just downloaded to IMG:
Drag the “boot SIN” file to “unsin.exe” and an IMG file will be created
(you will find "unsin.exe" in the attachment)
Copy the IMG file to your phone
Copy Magisk APK to your phone
(you will find Magisk in the attachment)
Install Magisk on your phone using the APK you copied
Open Magisk on your phone
Install Magisk (button in the app) and patch the “boot IMG” file you just copied
Get the files for ADB (platform-tools)
(you will find the files in the attachment)
Copy the patched “boot IMG” file to the “adb” folder on your pc and rename it to “boot.img”
Enable USB debugging on the phone:
a) Settings » About » Tap “Build” until you a message appears you are a developer
b) Settings » Advanced » Developer » USB debugging
Open a CMD window in the “adb” folder
a) Press the “Windows botton”
b) Type "cmd"
c) Click "Command Prompt"
d) Type "cd /d <path to directory with adb.exe file – i.e. c:\myfolder\adb>"
Start the phone in “fastboot” mode:
a) Turn the phone off
b) Press the "volume-up" button and connect the USB cable at the same time
Install the USB drivers
(you will find the files in the attachment)
Run "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (watch the file name)
Disconnect the cable and turn the phone on
Download "Root Checker" from the Play Store and open it
Tap "Check Root"
A popup will appear to grand root access to the Root Checker app
If a message stating "ROOTED" appears your phone is succesfully rooted
That's it!
