Hi, I am the owner of a HTC Desire 510 (64 bit EU version). The bootloader is unlocked but I cannot install a recovery as there are none for my phone that support the 64bit version. I wanted to ask if there was anyway to manually extract the SUPERSU zip file onto my phone without root access so I can gain root acess ? I am able to use fastboot and ADB if that changes anything. Thanks

Hello, I have a noob question about TWRP. After I unlock the bootloader and download the adb program onto my PC, can I then install TWRP which will also root the phone? No need to do anything else to achieve root? Where does the SuperSU app come into play? Thanks.

When you reboot to system from TWRP, it will notice that you're not rooted and ask you if you want to root. (Default is yes!) It will put a copy of SuperSU on your device. Reboot, run SuperSU and it will ask you to upgrade. Let it do so using the "normal" method. (I don't think the update via recovery option is working on this phone.)
Okay, thanks. So SuperSU is what roots the phone?
I want to root my htc desire x and I more or less followed this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zdhyDky2MI and have so fare unlocked the bootloader.
At this moment I got twrp-2.6.0.0-protou.img installed.
https://twrp.me/devices/htcdesirex.html
I installed the latest version of supersu through twrp recovery. I did also give the install instructions on the twrp webpage a go but to no avail.

When i open supersu on the phone I get this error message (loosely translated from danish).
"no binary su program file installed and supersu cannot install one this is a problem"

I do not have root. When I install supersu with twrp recovery mode it delivers a successful message at the end of install however I see no text in the twrp terminal/console during the install of supersu.
I have android-tools installed on my distribution which delivers fastboot as well as ADB. I have not setup SDK and am wondering if that is coursing issues. Though I get no such error messages.
No need to mess yourself with SuperSU as it is included in the ROM. Pick a ROM of your choice (i.e. Vimiro) and install. I assume you are S-ON (look at the bootloader in top). If so, you need to pick the kernel out of the ROM (open the package with Winrar) and take out boot.img. Flash manually as you flashed TWRP: fastboot flash boot boot.img. Then install ROM-package.
I don't particularly want to install a custom ROM. Do I have to?
What I want to achieve is to be able to move or remove some of the bundled apps, e.g. chrome - in an effort to free up storage, to an ext formatted partition on the sd-card.

It is not especially needed but handy You discovered already the SuperSu thread, maybo the solution is over there? Sorry, can't help you on SU problems. If nothing helps give another ROM a try (after backup). Most of the ROM's have nice features (also with custom kernel) and a installer on which you can select apps to install or not.
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
Hi, thank you in advance for everything
I have bought one year ago a so&so phone (65$ on AE) : a FLUO N device.
It isn't a good phone, but it the least but not last i could choose at that time.
Well, all i want to do is to root it with supersu or with other tool. I can't find any recovery tool compatible for the device so in my lack of knowledge i haven't find any method to root this android 8.1 phone. KingRoot doesn't work, KingoRoot idem. Neither framaroot or other. I want to try magisk but it seems that it's a root tool but i can use it only if phone is already rooted. It seems that i can root it with a recovery tool, but it seems that i can't install a recovery tool if my phone isn't already rooted (and i can't find any recovery tool compatible with this little $hit )
I really hope that i'm wrong and so i'm here asking.
So i'm here asking if there's a method to root it simply by adb pushing a file in it. In Developer options it has "Unblock OEM -- It allows to unblock bootloader" enabled.
There's something i can do?
Thanky you so much in advance again.

To root a device's Android neither Magisk nor any Custom Recovery ( TWRP et. al ) is needed. SuperSU should do the job.
If i dowload and install supersu apk when i open it this is what it says "Root undetected -- How To Root". If i click "how to root" it redirects me to supersu.com/faq/howtoroot that fails to load.
Now, i download either supersu apk that flashable zip. Is there a method to flash supersu.zip without a TWRP/CWM?
TWRP: doesn't exist a package for this phone. Does exist a generic twrp image for every android 8.1 ?
CWM: i could install it from Rom Manager but to do so the phone need to be already rooted. Or where can i find a cwm.img to be installed by adb and fastboot?
So without custom recovery, could i use my phone recovery and adb sideload to push supersu.zip ?
Thank you again

Yes, that's the correct method.
I've tryed someany time to install twrp with magsik pls help
How do I install twerp recovery with magsik with out root or pc or 2 phones
twrp does not exist for this phone officially yet.
you also need an unlocked bootloader and root in order to flash anything
Oh ok but how do I root my phone I've tryed for so long
0. Unlock bootloader
1. Flash Twrp via pc (twrp is optional for rooting)
2. Get boot.img from base rom
3. Instal magisk on device
4. Modify the boot.img via magisk (this will create another patched image titled "magisk_patched-#####_#####.img"
5. Flash newly created magisk modified boot image ie. Titled "magisk_patched-#####_#####.img" via pc (this will temp. Root device)
6. On reboot open magisk, run the same newly flashed image ie. Titled "magisk_patched-#####_#####.img"through magisk via "direct install (recommended)" method. (this will fully root device and give root access to twrp)
7. Profit
Btw not responsible if you brick your device
