Please LMK if you do. there are apparently no custom ROMs for the 380, and the bloat on this device is substantial.

The closest thing to a ROM that I am aware of. Much appreciated! Worked great and is up and running!

it work for my self.
Thanks.

What is the process for upgrading the OS on the SM-T357T? Lollipop is currently installed...

None there is no current ongoing development on it.

Thanks for uploading these files and information its been a big help.
I only have one issue. I cannot get my tablet to connect to my PC once I use your compressed files from google drive. I don't even get the drop down option to switch from picture mode, charging only etc. Any ideas how to remedy this?
It's a problem because I can't load anything onto the tablet with out using some sort of cloud storage.

Root works Ok.
I would like to flash this latest image on my rooted stock 4.3, with the latest twrp 2.8.7 installed. It's a long time since I flashed an image so I'd like to double check:
From twrp, do I first wipe everything and then flash
image-mantaray-lmy48i.zip
followed by UPDATE-SuperSU? In particular, do I need to flash the bootloader.imag that comes with the new image?
THANKS!

Don't unpack the zip. Just point twrp at the zip file and ask to install. And you don't need to wipe, because the installation wipes everything anyway.
Lollipop takes a long time booting the first time, so be patient and give it 30 minutes at least.
Cheers!

I used the factory image yesterday to update but installed it using the Flashfire app instead of TWRP. I only flashed boot (not bootloader) and system images then cleared Dalvik (all in one sequence). Flashfire automatically reinstalls SuperSU. I did was on both a Nexus 5 and 10.
I did not flash recovery as the TWRP I had installed was already the latest version. Using this method I preserved my user data and all my settings. All I needed to do was reapply anything I'd previously modified in the /system partition (remove/freeze bloat ware, install busybox, V4A, SuperSU policies ... Etc). I was up and running in no time. Hardly a blip in my day.
I still used TWRP when I really mess up (device soft bricked) but Flashfire has become my goto system update tool on all my Android devices including my Samsung one which has a locked boot loader. It is developed by Chainfire the creator of SuperSU.
Sent from my SM-T800 using XDA Premium HD app
If I'm already on stock 5.1.1 (rooted etc), can I just extract libstagefight.so from this image and manually replace that?
Seems much easier...

[recovery] [modded] twrp 3.2.1-0 [oreo support]

With this modded version of TWRP you can now install A1 roms into the 5X.
How to install A1 roms using this TWRP:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5x/how-to/guide-how-to-install-a1-rom-5x-t3777139
Oreo Modded TWRP 3.2.1-0 Download:
Google Drive
Nougat Modded TWRP 3.2.1-0 Download:
Google Drive
How to install:
- Unlock bootloader
- Enter in Fastboot Mode (Power Button + Vol Down)
- Flash using "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
- Enter in Recovery Mode (Power Button + Vol Up)
Which one should I download?
You should install the correspondent version according to your currently installed Android version. If your current system is Nougat, you should flash Nougat TWRP. Same for Oreo. It doesn't matter which version of Android are you going to install, but the one that you already have installed. If you are in Nougat and want to flash Oreo rom, after flashing it, be sure to flash Oreo TWRP. If you dont do it, recovery may not work.
How can I use the port feature?
First, download an A1 fastboot ROM. You can do so here. Then, flash system and boot partitions using fastboot.
After you flashed it, go to "Advanced" then tap on "Terminal". Write "a1to5x" and press Enter. Wait until it finishes. Make proper wipes and reboot.
Are there any other features?
I have enabled system.img and modem.img flashing, so people without a pc can flash A1 fastboot roms. But be careful, system.img can't be a sparse image (this are the images included on the a1 official fastboot rom), it should be a raw ext4 image. You can use simg2img to convert them. Modem.img can't neither be flashed directly from the downloaded fastboot rom. It should be a modem.img extracted with dd, you will need to ask some who flashed it with fastboot to extract it for you. I know it is not a very easy process, but at least people without pc now have a chance to update their phones.
In what roms does it works?
I have only tested it with official Android One Oreo rom, however, it should work with Nougat Android One and with custom roms. Try it and let me know in what roms does it work.
How do you port A1 roms to the 5X?
I have been asked this question a lot of times. I can't give a step by step guide since I don't have enough spare time to make a decent guide. If you are interested on the porting process, take a look at /sbin/a1to5x (inside twrp ramdisk), it is the script which takes cares of the automatic porting process. Inside it you will find how the ports are made.
Where is the changelog?

is it normal that the external memory is not shown?
@Aex12
Thanks for your great work. I have some question.
Should we install an whole A1 fastboot rom or only install system.img and boot.img like the old one?

Forgot to mention it on the thread. Thanks for reminding, I am updating it right now. You should only flash system and boot. Modem and other firmware partitions can be flashed too, but they are not mandatory.
And have someone test LineageOS 15.1 for Mi A1 with this recovery?
Awesome work @Aex12. Thanks a lot

That was somthing I also have noticed.. without sd memory being shown I can't do a backup to SD Card.
Instead I'll have to do a local backup and connect to PC and copy files over, Early stages I guess we are lucky we can even see the Internal Memory right?
Alright so I was curious and thought I'd see what happens if I flash recovery Nougat Modded TWRP 3.2.1-0 ( While currently running Oreo )
I booted into recovery and instantly discovered that you no longer even have access to internal memory 0b shown.. Don't waste your time !
I flashed recovery Oreo Modded TWRP 3.2.1-0 using fast boot as you won't be able to flash a recovery rom using TWRP in this state..

Can not get back to MIUI Nougat or even get old recovery to work
When i try to install back xiaomi.eu's miui rom after installing zip and do all the proper wipes, it reboot to system but says that encryption was interrupted and can't complete. So I tried to install back the nougat 3.2.1 recovery and try again, with the same result. again i tried to install the rom again with 3.1.1 recovery and same happens. With nougat recovery it can't mount any partition, so it can not opperate properly, only the oreo recovery works. the only rom that works and gets installed good is the oreo one that you submitted so what can i do to get back to my normal twrp recovery (no oreo) and to a miui rom? thanks
P.D: I also tried to flash with fastboot a a1 nougat rom and with the 3.1.1 twrp port it but no succes as it can no longer mount anything, only oreo twrp is working but still not get to work properly any other rom, via fastboot or via recovery. Bootloader is unlocked.

Comparing fstab with stock recovery / sd supported recovery might fix this issue...
This recovery doesn't read my SD card. Only the internal storage.

Make sure to make a backup of your current modem, just in case.

I think you need to fastboot flash boot image first, then go to twrp and flash it again from it.

@Aex12 please update TWRP. I can't format /data /system etc from twrp made for MiA1(MohanCM's) but I cannot do it with yours. I have mi5x and it is ****ing stuck on boot. If I flash MiA1's fastboot rom I can get to fastboot and flash TWRP (since the bootloader is locked) but I can't do anything with your TWRP. But I can also flash MohanCM's twrp and I can do all that stuffs except for installing ROms and booting to it. im ****ing confused myself.

Root without custom recovery?

Hello,
i'm trying to root a Sharp B10 (SH-A01) with Magisk.
It would be nice if i could do this without unlocking because i want to keep the stock rom anyway.
First problem is that i can't find a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM) for this device from where i could install Magisk.
Then i found out that Magisk gives the possibility to root a device through the Magisk Manager App by patching the boot.img.
But the second problem is that i can't find the boot.img either. I spotted the boot partition on the device and tried to pull with adb but i would need an already rooted device to give the needed permissions.
Is there anything else I could do to get this thing rooted besides compiling my own TWRP for the device?
thanks a lot,
paul

Neither Magisk nor TWRP is needed to root Android: Chainfire's SuperSu does the job. You flash its ZIP via stock recovery "adb sideload"

Hi,
thanks for your answer.
I already managed to root this device. I got the boot.img with Wwr_MTK & SP flash tool (windows tools...), patched it with the magisk app and than flashed the patched boot.img
1. Unlock your bootloader enter in download mode Vol+ + Vol- + USB conected to pc (Keep in mind that by doing this you will lose your files, it is advisable to make a backup of your photos, music, etc.)
2. Once you start your cell phone install magisk manager, Choosing the boot.img file of your rom into the app (Tip: Only!!! If your model is SM-A015M Android 11 I leave you my own modified boot.img to flash:
File on MEGA
mega.nz
Otherwise, you can download the firmware (3.79 gb) and extract the boot.img from the firmware of your model SM-A015 M / F ... Android 10, Android 11... etc. And No need for pc
https://samfrew.com/model/SM-A015M/
3. The image will begin to flash
4. When it restarts you will have Root on the cell phone!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extra: If you need the custom recovery I give you the link with my TWRP which is installed through the Odin program on a PC (this step does not delete your files)
File on MEGA
mega.nz
Keep in mind that to install TWRP you must deactivate the DM-VERITY & FORCEENCRYPT DISABLER I leave it in a link:
Zackptg5 - Android
zackptg5.com
This is a module that can be installed via magisk, which is necessary to decrypt the system ... so once TWRP is installed, it is advisable to uninstall it via Magisk to avoid R / W errors

Question about installing TWRP

I have an already rooted galaxy a105m with magisk installed, however twrp didn't exist for the a10 when I rooted and installed magisk so I still have the stock recovery. How do I go about installing twrp? Preferably I'd like to not have to wipe my phone but If I have to it's ok.
Edit: Welp I'm dumb, all I had to do was dl the twrp img off of the main root guide, download the twrp official app from playstore, and flash.

Hiii I wanted to ask if the twrp official apk worked on your Samsung a10s...As am speaking I have it installed for some time now but it didn't work,it just on loading mode forever.
If you're already rooted you can download the TWRP img I used here (literally copied from the root guide) and flash via the twrp app (or whatever flashing app you want, that's just the one I used). However, if you're not already rooted I definitely suggest you follow the whole guide so you don't make any mistakes/mess anything up here.

After P.Experience Rom TWRP is gone and everything is encrypted

Hi. I installed Android 12 Pixel Experience rom and my TWRP gone after this. After installing the rom, TWRP replaced with Pixel Experience's own recovery mode. Currently, the ROM is installed and I can use it without any problems, but I cannot switch to a different ROM in any way. When I install TWRP with ADB, I cannot install the file named "DM Verity & ForceEncrypt disabler" because everything is encrypted. I do not use any passwords on the ROM (fingerprint, screen lock, etc.). I want to install new ROM so I need to make TWRP permanent and remove encryption on TWRP, because i can't see my files. As I said, the phone is can open and I can use it without problems. Looking forward to your help, thank you.
1) Backup everything
2) Install twrp and sideload the PE rom but don't boot into it
3) Flash the DFE (disable force encryption ) zip from twrp
4) Boot into the rom
Remember you won't get the ota updates if you disable the encryption and have to manually update the rom

You need to read the instructions before you flash anything. PE A12 is encrypted by default and because TWRP can't handle the decryption of A12 ROMs, PE replacing the TWRP with PE Recovery, so to be able to get OTA updates. This is a workaround until TWRP fix the decryption issue.
To flash another ROM, take backup of the files you want from your Internal Storage, flash TWRP via ADB, wipe everything and format data. Then connect your device to PC and transfer the ROM and the files you want to flash into your Internal Storage and proceed with flashing.
