i recently unlock the bl just to get root but the phone doesnt let me install magisk.
im on pie right now.
any ideas?
thanks
You'll want the windows kdz extract tool, extract the .dz file from the kdz your using. Then extract all the images from the .dz. Your looking for the boot_img(a bunch of numbers), there will be two, doesn't matter which one. Rename the file to boot.img and transfer it to your phone. Use magisk too patch the file and transfer the file back to your computer. Put your phone into engineering mode (the mode for the QFIL program, forgot the modes name atm). Use the partition mode, find both boot_a and boot_b and load your magisk_patched file to both of them. Reboot your phone and you should be good.
Since you've unlocked your bootloader I'm assuming you already have and are familiar with QFIL and the windowskdzextrator tool. If i'm mistaken let me know. Good luck bro

I've G7-L11 Running Lollipop 5.1.1 - And its root is hell to me.
No recovery img in google works.. cuz latest twrp 2.8.7 and CWM are made for L01 and L00 NOT L11, thus my firmware kernal rejects the recovery and i got this message when trying to flash or directly boot the recovery img (Failed adb not found)
all fastboot boot twrp.img or fastboot flash recovery twrp.img or any command concerned or related to that issue doesnt work at all.
so please could any one find or build custom recovery for that model G7-L11 Lollipop?
Can any one who has G7-L11 or who is expert help me to get a working recovery?
am sorry brother you had to go through this, i went thru this, but i think i might have found a fix,. there is no custom recovery that works with huawei G7-L11 lollipop, what you need to do is first download the firmware for your phone, the lollipop firmware in order to extract the recovery file, that "UPADATE.APP" file, then download huawei firmaware extractor from
here "http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00173/wwfQ/HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.3.zip"
then extract the files, (if you get stack on how to use it, there are videos on youtube to use it), (Extract Zip with any exctractor then, extract UPDATE.APP with huawei file extractor
Then u need a ADB files, i found using CMD directly very confusing, so download this "https://mega.nz/#!eVx3DKyC!9iI9QwvqTXJtqmfGEExC3S2XMfxWewNezQZWy_7gUz0" its a philwood touch file but it has the necessary files we need, what we are trying to do here is to restore the phone original recovery and flash the update from the exSD Card,.
After you have download the Philwood Touch file(this is a normal zip file) extract the files and inside you will find the recovery img file, just replace this with the one you extracted from UPDATE.APP. so that the philzwood folder will have the original recovery which comes with the update and the one that is usually found in the phone,
Then put your phone in the Fastboot and recovery by holding volume down and power button together, then from the Philzwood recovery first run"adb-windows" then "Fastboot windows" then "Install windows, after you have done this you will have your recovery(Orignal Recovery),
Turn off your phone, Then take the UPDATE.APP transfer the file to ExSD Card(External Memory Card) put it in a phone ( Copy the whole dload file), Now hold both Volume up and down and power button until your phone boot up dnt let go until you see a phone installing from SDCARD Just sit back relax after its done your phone will as good as new, i hope u get this right,.
If the download link for Philzwood doesnt work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHe68zH4jgA there are link down at the description
Or search this in google "PHILZ-TOUCH-6.59-G7-buid-21-02-2015"

I have G7 -L11 of Huawei ascend, it's front class broken but working. Can anyone help me to find out the same. In Delhi service center it is not available.
Hi I know I can fastboot them from PC but my PC is not working well.
I tried downloading the latest and inunzipping it. O see the radio .img but there are 3 files for vendor and a whole bunch of bootloader .img and a boot .I'm going. so what do I grab and can I just rezip the together
I just root explorer by the way
I'm using android Pie(stock rom) on mi a1. I want to flash Lineageos for microG. On TWRP Recovery website, it says this device(mi a1-tissot) uses dm-verity and in order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in fastboot.
I'm completely new in the realm of flashing custom roms. And no website and youtube video talks about dm-verity in a clear manner:crying:. So what steps exactly should I follow to install Lineageos for microG?
Also, my phone(data) is encrypted. And I can't find a way to decrypt it. Will it affect flashing TWRP Recovery or Lineageos?
wHY did not anybody answer guys?
Here are the steps to install TWRP and maybe a custom ROM:
1.Make sure to have USB Debugging activated
2.Put the Mi A1 in Fastboot Mode(Volume Down+Power)
3.Connect your phone to your PC
4.Make sure to have downloaded platform-tools
5.Download the .img TWRP file and copy it in the platform-tools folder
6.Hold Shift and right Click in the platform-tools folder,and click onpen a PowerShell window here
7.Type fastboot devices or .\fastboot devices(for me the second worked)
8.Now write fastboot boot twrp.xx.xx.xx.img(here Goes the name of your .img TWRP file)
9.After 15 seconds,you will probably see a warning that asks You to swipe to allow modifications.Don't swipe.Press on:Keep read only.
10.From this point,You can install every custom ROM,You can install Magisk.
Hope this helped You out!

I found this thread by doing something wrong that you mentioned. I didn't swipe to allow modifications and now the TWRP can't flash anything. Tried every remedy I can find but nothing. It can wipe system though, but not restore it so now I'm stuck in bootloops. Damn, idk what to do.
Dear Zentom,for me,that method worked.But,I can help you get out of that situation
1.Make sure to have your bootloader unlocked
2.Download the stock ROM for Mi A1
3.Boot into Fastboot Mode
4.Extract the stock ROM archive
5.Copy all the extracted files into the platform-tools folder
6.Find a .bat file names "flash-all"
7.Open it
8.After 15 minutes or so,your phone will boot.
Hope I helped you!

Thanks, but I flashed the stock rom from twrp anyway. Though I had to flash the October 2019 ROM. Do you know anywhere where one can get an updated one?
If You want the latest stock ROM,this is:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yVWv4hiTSk-3zai-4u2c2OcLpRdFL_J6/view
I rooted my OP8-Pro. I followed the instructions in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVABAEGRgew.
To summarize, his steps were as follows:
1. Unlock the bootloader
2. Extract boot.img file from payload bin file (on Windows)
3. Install Magisk Canary 2020 app on the phone
4. Install the boot.img file through Magisk
5. Download Fastboot.zip in Windows and extract files
6. Download and place magisk.patched file in Fastboot folder
7. Connect the phone to Windows, use cmd to boot into bootloader
8. Flash the magisk.patched file on the device and reboot
This is a new method to me. In the past rooting always involved TWRP. Root checker shows that the phone is rooted but other features have stopped working.
WiFi no longer works. Even if I turn it on, it turns itself off. Camera keeps crashing and I can't even change the camera mode once I launch the app. My phone also rebooted itself a couple of times while I was testing it after root.
I also rooted my One Plus 6 in 2019 but had to use a custom TWRP (Bluspark) for it to be stable.
I rather start over with a factory reset than try to repair the device in it's current state (but will try to repair it if it's easier). I prefer to stick with the factory ROM and only need root for one app.
Try latest stable magisk instead of canary. Mine works perfectly with regular magisk
I used the all in one tool by mauronafrio here. Worked flawlessly.

So I tried that tool. I tried to flash factory image downloaded directly from One Plus website and kept getting the following error message:
"Error: flash-all.exe or flash-all.bat or flash_all.bat or flashall.bat not found!!!"
I think this has to do with the fact that I am using a secondary hard drive on my computer to store all the downloaded files and the bat file is supposed to be in the same folder as the zip file.
I also reset it to factory settings from the recovery mode but that didn't fix the WiFi issue.
Then I ran TWRP from the All in one Tool and installed the factory firmware from phone's internal memory. This soft bricked my phone.
After getting soft-bricked I installed Magisk through the tool but that didn't fix the issue.
Now it is stuck in a boot loop and keeps going into recovery mode. I can also boot into Fastboot mode and install zips through there but I would like to unbrick it first. Is there an alternative ROM that can unbrick it?
I think I am going to try and use the unbrick tool first and if that doesn't work I will try the Fastboot ROM, that already comes with the bat file.
I am a little confused as to which version goes on my phone though. They have Indian, Global and European versions but I live in the U.S. Global seems to be the most appropriate for my phone but I don't want to install the wrong ROM on it.
I remember reading that you can run into WiFi issues if you flashed the wrong version (from a different region) for your phone
I've rooted for many years and this is the first time I didn't go through TWRP as well.
If you use the unbrick tool you'll probably get issues with the fingerprint reader. But that's fixable, after you've rooted.
The easiest way to get root is to just unlock the bootloader, fastboot boot twrp (not flash), and then flash magisk 20.4 stable.
Before TWRP you had to patch the boot.img and fastboot flash it, but with twrp there is no need for it.

Thanks for letting me know. I attempted to use the unbrick tool but it had problems connecting to the phone. And I also didn't want to run into finger print issues.
I downloaded the patched Rom (with flash-all.bat file included) and installed it via All in one tool. That unbricked the phone and I reset the system to start from scratch. I used the global / international version for my North American phone.
After setting up the phone, I rebooted into Fastboot and loaded TWRP via All in one tool and installed Magisk 20.4 and got the phone rooted.
Root checker shows the phone is now rooted. WiFi and camera also work. I am ready to transfer data from the old phone.
This would have gone smoother if I had just used the correct version of Magisk from the start.
I sent my phone in for repairs and so i had unrooted and relocked the bootloader, then factory reset. I just got my phone back today, its on build 10.5.13IN11AA.
I enabled USB Debugging and the option to unlock the bootloader, so then i went and unlocked the bootloader, but i can NOT get TWRP to boot so that I can install Magisk. I'm guessing i need the patched boot.img but i cant find that anywhere either.
Does anyone have a patched boot.img for the global variant on 10.5.13 they can link? Or am i doing this wrong?
I got this figured out. I downloaded Magisk Manager and installed it on my phone, then downloaded the entire 10.5.13 update from a link a found here and extracted the boot.img file. I used ADB to push it to my downloads folder on the phone and used Magisk to patch it. Then I copied it back to my PC and used fastboot to install it, done!

Just download payload dumper.
Download the firmware youre on
Extract payload.
Run payload dumper
Obtain boot.img from the output folder.
Pop it on your phone and patch it with magisk.
Flash with magisk.
