OP! how do you able to get CWM,
does it came from own recovery of 4C? if yes, can you show how
Custom recoveries use the kernel properties of device.... Not the stock recovery converted to cwm.....

Hi,
in fastboot mode on my device, the volume up key is not recognized but this key perfectly work in android OS.
I tried opening lk.bin with an hex editor and I can see all the fastboot commands and some variables (the file is very long...).
Is it possible to edit it for implement the volume up key (the volume down work perfectly) or delete the confirmation for the oem unlock ?
TY :good:
Have thee same problem and have same question
Is there anyone out there to help?

GREAT NEWS I MANAGED TO GET ROOT WITHOUT UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER ALL YOU NEED IS TO
1.download your firmware and extract it
2.extract the boot.img from the firmware and put it on your phone REMEMBER WHERE YOU PUT IT SINCE YOU WILL NEED THIS!
3download magiskmanager install it and open it.
4click install and choose the boot.img it will install magisk into it
5.put it back in your firmware folder on your pc
6 look for a file that says Checksum_gen and run it
7 once that completes use spflash tool and load your scatterfile and flash JUST THE BOOT.IMG wait for the reboot and you have root!
THANK YOU DEVELOPERS OF MAGISKMANAGER!

if you have something to add please do
Thank you all.
Here's an alternative method for those who don't trust flashing tools due to bad experiences and prefer flashing files manually via Fastboot (like me):
Follow steps 1. to 3. and 5. of the opening post.
Unzip the stock rom (archive) into your ADB/Fastboot folder.
Boot the tablet to the bootloader (c.f. step 6. of the opening post).
Use the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash gpt gpt.bin
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase persistent
fastboot erase frp
fastboot erase metadata
fastboot format config
fastboot format country
fastboot format cache
fastboot format data
fastboot format factory
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash config config.img
fastboot flash country country.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader
fastboot flash oemvars bootloader_policy-oemvars.txt
fastboot flashing lock
fastboot continue
Execute each of them with Enter and wait till a command got executed completely before you try to use the next one.
It might happen that you face an error while flashing that oemvars bootloader_policy-oemvars.txt. I couldn't find out why that happened and ignoring it seems to be harmless.

I would like to downgrade 2 Tablets YB1-X90L (not F), this thread is onderful BUT I cannot find the STOCK ROM version for the L-Model (the one with LTE) ... can someone point me out as where to get it ?

note that the steps are slightly different in that you have to manually select the .json in the extracted folder.
Could someone please help me with downgrading my YB1-X90L, it just refuses to boot at all after my nephews messed with it, I found the stock rom but I can't get some of the needed programs and drivers,

sorry for replying to such an old post.
could you or anyone else please reupload a 6.x stock rom for the yb1 x90L? i just cant find any working link and am currently stuck with a device without properly working wlan. wlan keeps turning itself off after a few seconds after reboot and only restarting the whole device can turn it back on again... i hope a rollback can solve the issue...

looks like the original link is down, so i searched for the file name YB1-X90L_USR_S110085_1710170829_WW08_EP_ROW_otafull.zip and this came up:
YB1-X90L_USR_S110085_1710170829_WW08_EP_ROW_otafull.zip | Easy Firmware
easy-firmware.com
ive no idea if this is working or safe to use but its a start.
good luck
So my Android YB1-X90F was locking up when trying to boot, just stuck showing the Lenovo logo. Thinking I'm clever I stubbled across the boot menu if you start the device with the Volume Up held. From there I tried the Recovery Mode and did a Factory Reset. Then the tablet started up and shows the Green Andriod Bin Man, saysi Encrypting and promptly reboots. So one starts Googling and ends up here. Some very help information, thanks for that.
So I've got as far as installing all the drivers/Intel Phone tool/Android Suite etc. but I'm still stuck. The flash is locked. Is there another way to unlock this as I can't get into Android to allow the developer options as suggested in Step 2 of the opening post?
Trying the fastbook commands in post 2 also fail
Code:
FAILED (remote: Prohibited command in locked state.)
finished. total time: 0.170s
TIA
LOL @ me, of course the manual fastboot commands fail as that's precisely what the Phone Tool App trying when doing its magic.

I'm in the same boat. I acquired a YB1-X90F but all it does is show the orange Lenovo splash screen, then a black screen.

The link is not work anymore, could you please share you firmware for x90L model ? thanks
1-step
in order to root these qilive devices you will need...
magisk manager apk v5.6.4
stock boot.img file
working ADB to unlock oem and flash
2-step
lets get to it
place the magisk.apk and the stock boot.img
in the internal memory of your phone (downloads)
if you like to keep stuff organized :good:
3-step
follow the vídeo tutorial and use magisk manager
to patch your stock boot.img it will output a new
boot.img that includes magisk Root (patched_boot.img)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF4_hnKgjFA
ps: major ty to hovatek team for this great tutorial
step-4 use Google drive or usb OTG to get the patched_
boot.img to your PC and place it in the ADB folder
once you have oem(bootloader) unlocked just
rename the patched_boot.img to boot.img
step-5
unlock oem, these qilive devices wont unlock
the bootloader even if you enable it in DEV options
enable USB debug in dev options
you will need to use ADB commands
command- adb devices
serial appears
command- adb reboot bootloader
phone reboots to fastboot mode
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot oem unlock
(MAJOR WARNING the fastboot
oem unlock will wipe/reset/factoryreset/delete your data)
after you give the command small letters will appear
on the phone screen(yes or no) hard to read dont be hasty plz
use VOLUME+ to select and VOLUME - to confirm
note: when my phone ended the unlock it whent back to
that black screen where you choose fastboot-recovery-restart
and was stuck there, side keys did nothing if this happens
just long press the power key for 10 sec it will shutdown
then press power again to turn on
first boot after unlock will take longer then normal dont freakout
after you unlock small letters will appear during boot up saying the device
is not safe unlocked ,you can later use ( fastboot oem lock )
step-6
flash the patched boot.img with ADB
command- adb devices
serial appears
command- adb reboot bootloader
phone reboots to fastboot mode
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot flash boot boot.img
finished/ok
command- fastboot reboot
and voila you should now have magisk
installed in the app drawer, open it!!
step-7 run the install one final time from the
magisk manager and install magisk V16 using
recomended option it will verify/patch the boot image
Do NOT select the AVB 2.0 BOX it will bootloop the phone
and your done, enjoy your qilive rooted phone.
from this point on you can use the fastboot
command- fastboot oem lock
to remove the letters in boot up about the
device not safe unlocked
WARNING oem lock
will WIPE/FACTORY RESET again (god damn it!!)
ps: i had to install twice in a row,major pain in the ....
Repeat step 7 after Wipe/Reset
here is the stock boot for 2 qilive models
you can get the stock firmware for any qilive
at this site www.doc-doapi.com/EM/qilive/smartph...te_3m-fdd-cs_mul_20170818-110645_songlixin_PC
and get the recovery or boot from the unpacked firmware file
ps:my phone is the Q8SIN4GP AND ITS WORKING FINE
A VERY SPECIAL TY to topjohnwu (magisk creator), this man is nothing
short of a God damn genius!! , and if you can donate to him.
hope this helps other qilive users to root:highfive:
quick note on the qilive models, they have two model names
the cliente name in my case Q8SIN4GP
and the factory name in my model its 882912
in order to download the right firmware for your model
you need the factory model witch is what appears in the qilive
site above, it will be in the back of the phone or the original
box on a sticker just bellow the bar code, full model exempl
:Q8SIN4GP/882912 my firmware serves several models,
these Q8 models all start with 88xxxx WARNING
dont try this using the wrong firmware/boot file or you will DAMAGE your phone
Help with BOOTLOOP problems, if you find your self stuck in a bootloop
the phone wont go past the qilive logo and just stays there, dont freak out
you will loose your data but there is a way out
just keep pressing power + Volume up until a black screen with 3 options appears
when it does let go, use Volume + to select option and Volume - to confirm
select Fastboot or alternative select recovery and then select reboot to bootloader
both option will place your phone in Fastboot mode, once in fastboot mode
connect your phone to PC and use ADB commands to fix/bootloop
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot oem unlock (skip this if you use phone unlocked)
a confirm action option appears on the phones screen
use Volume up to say YES / or Volume Down to say NO
Warning oem unlock will WIPE/Factory reset your phone
once it finishes the phone will be stuck on the
Recovery/fastboot/restart screen just long press the power key
until the phone shuts down
start the phone again using Power + Volume up when the black
screen with the 3 options come up, let go and use Volume up to
select Fastboot mode and confirm using Volume Down
Once in fastboot connect your phone to PC and use ADB commands
command- fastboot devices
serial apears
Here you will flash the magisk patched_boot.img
the same image you used to root your phone
command- fastboot flash boot boot.img
it will say finished-ok (or similar)
command- fastboot reboot
the boot up time will be longer than normal
but the phone should now complete the boot
and present the inicial setup screen, select language
enter your mail, the usual bla bla...
any way at this point just repeat step 7
to get root running again
sp flash tools v5.1716.

Hi phonedriller,
phew, I did it! (Q8S55IN4G2), thanks.
Next step: Have you found a compatible custom recovery? (especially for nandroid backups and for xposed installation)
Would be very thankful for your help!

Awsome work congrats, as for the recovery so far no luck so try not to go 2 crazy until a working recovery is up and working , install stericsons busy box this is always the first root app i install
If possible buy sterics busybox pro and titaniumbackup pro if you want to install apps to sd card apps2sd pro all of these can be tested in free
Version,again nice work congrats enjoy you rooted phone :highfive:

Hi phonedriller,
phew, I did it! (Q8S55IN4G2), thanks.
Next step: Have you found a compatible custom recovery? (especially for nandroid backups and for xposed installation)
Would be very thankful for your help!
thanks

hi phonedriller,
...well, i must have been an unlucky fisherman
an app i installed ended up giving me a soft brick (bootloop between qilive icon opening screen - btw still with the "warning" of "device is unsafe etc", i.e. oem still open - and black screen, qilive opening screen etcetcetc)
have cleaned cache; went for factory reset; etc
BUT: am presently stuck when trying to go via ADB (which used to work perfectly before) that somehow the usb drivers don't want to get installed properly. as a consequence, desktop cannot see devices.
and i cannot, for the sake of me, remember how i had succeeded before installing usb drivers.
could you please help?
thx

PS: adb will not work if the phone is not booting to the OS
it will work if you manualy place the phone in fastboot AKA bootloader
MODE ,you see if it does not boot to OS then usb service is not working
use power + Volume up to enter the black menu
use the Volume up to select fastboot(bootloader) volume - to confirm
connect the phone to your PC
flash the boot.img, the same boot.img used to root (patched by magisk)
to see is adb is ok just run - fastboot devices
if a serial is presented then all other stuff should work
step 1 - reflash the boot img
step 2 - after the flash finishes - fastboot oem lock
message on the phone screen, confirm yes to lock
OEM
step 3- press power until it turns off
it should now complete the start up (boot)
if not working this method let me now
you can still flash the full factory firmware
using SP Flash Tool v5.17xx

dearphonedriller,
thank you so much for your speedy help.
followed the steps given by you. all is well, as you predicted, until step 3.
however:
phone (now without the "orange state" message, i.e. oem locked) still bootloops and short of ADB "fastboot devices" the desktop doesn't see the phone (and driver installation continues to fail), as per your PS (thanks!) i guess flashing the full factory firmware ("RC-mt6737...zip" quoted by you in your very first post) is next.
would you please point me to a basic-for-noobs tutorial or instruct me on the step-by-step commands/procedures using this zip file?!
HUGE thanks

thank you, phonedriller
everything worked perfectly via SPFlash Tool.
and, referring back to our above questions re the possibility of getting TWRP onto the phones, a developer friend of mine writes me this:
>try to flash TWRP:
>Download following files from this link:
>https://mega.nz/#F!qZIgnJRK!5apBfYo1je0ytg-wmA6JMQ
>- Odin3 v3.12.3 (Complete folder)
>- twrp-3.2.1-0-Q8S55IN4G2-20180318.tar
>1. Start your Phone into download mode
>2. Start Odin (Odin3 v3.12.3\Odin3.exe)
>3. Click on Options and unmark Auto Reboot
>4. Click AP and select twrp-3.2.1-0-Q8S55IN4G2-20180318.tar
>5. Press Start and wait until finished (Reset or OK!)
>6. Restart your phone immediatly to recovery mode
>7. In TWRP Recovery click on mount
>8. Set the checkbox checked at system (that system is mounted)
>9. go back and click on advanced
>10. Open file manager
>11. navigate to system/build.prop and click on build.prop
>12. Click on chmod
>13. type: 0644 and hit the accept button on screen or at the virtual
>keyboard on your phone
>14. restart your phone
i haven't tried this, but am wondering whether it might seem "reasonably possible" when reading through it.
thanks

Do you perhaps have link to Q8S5IN4GP stock rorm? Mine came with malware installed on it. I want to see if those were chinese who preinstalled or or was it decided by Auchan.

On my phone it came from factory and on the firmware file on 2 models , however only kasperky complains about malware on an system app called Helper bla bla bla i think its a false positive(i think) as no other antivirus or playstore ever found anything,but hey better investigate and be safe then sry right :good: maybe a ported cyanogen rom, ive look at a few rom port tutorials but my knowhow is limited + dont even have a working twrp yet, avg/avast/malwarebytes and a few others ,only kaspersky detects malware.

I had issues with adds being displayed at home screen and I was not able to close them. I had to use NetGuard to find that FOTA talks to 'adsup' and it is a known malware provider. I learned that some of the system apps try to talk with Alibaba servers and AdOppo (whatever it's called). Kaspersky might not be wrong, actually.
I'm trying to download stock firmware, but I don't know the file name. The website with it is locked, so unless I know exactly what I need, I cannot download it.

I guess the best thing would be a lineage or cyanogen ported rom(clean),ps i flashed the phone 2 times because of popups/adds and battery drain,however im aware that having root and installing tones of crasy stuff can fu.. Up any phone cheap or flagship,thus the firmware flashes,i discovered that having malwarebytes(premium)free for 30days keeps the phone clean and working fine,it seems that one is forced to buy from a main stream brand or risk this kind of thing,little to no support,no updates at all,bad security,the problem is certain apps if removed resoult in boot loop like this Helper app

I'm thinking about Android 8.1 with it's Treble project. I might not be knowledgable enought to compile and flash it, though.

Flashing is super easy use spflashtools or. Odin compiling a Rom is not , were you able to get the original firmware? You will need the original firware to get the boot and partition info from what i read so far
Unfortunately not. I will ask at the shop where I bought it how to contact tech. It should be freely available. I don't understand why Qilive restricted access to firmware.
I'll post when I learn anything.
Well, you can download the firmware if you know the file name. The bad news is, it seems the stock firmware has malware preinstalled. If there is anyone who could help confirm it. I have the ROM, and I can upload it to Google Drive if needed.
Hi all,
I'm coming back to a question lingering since the very first post here and mentioned again in post #9:
Is there a successful way to install TWRP on this Qilive model?
Re this topic:
- has anybody tried/has anybody been successful with the procedure described in post #9?
and
- has anybody seen the following TWRP builders' version (do an in-page search on Q8S55IN4G2)
https://twrpbuilder.github.io/fr/downloads/twrp/
with the download belonging to it
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657591798
???
any successful installations to report???
Wouldn't THAT be great!!??
thanks

So i recently bought my Samsung galaxy A 10 ,I have been trying to root it but no luck.i unlocked the bootloader, installed proper adb drivers and latest version of odin on my Pc. I was following procedures from rootmydevice.com slash root-samsung-galaxy-A10(sorry cant post external links, im new).evrything went fine up until i got to the flashing part using odin. I am not sure weather the twrp file is corrupt or I am missing something.anyone who might know please help.
here is my device info:
SM-A105F
Have you tried this tutorial:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a30/how-to/root-galaxy-a30-magisk-canary-relaese-t3936481
I'm stuck in two problems here...
1- I dont have the option OEM Unlock on my developers option. I think that it maybe because ive checked that option before and after that it desapeared... When entering on download mode, it shows OEM Lock: ON (L), i dont know if that means OEM is unlocked or locked...
2- I cant find the files in step 2: .extract the boot.img.lz4 from the AP file.
Just came here to find a root method for the SM-A105M. Seems like not a lot of love for the A10 here.. Lol Anyways, I will be testing this method I came across out tonight. I will post the link but can't confirm it's working. I'll post my results tomorrow.

Hi everybody,
I managed to root my A105FN with this method but with using the Magisk Manager v7.3.1 (no need of Magisk Canary)
It will be good to have a TWRP as welll but couldnt find a compatible one for the A10 (maybe useful for no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 and RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa_v2 patch)
we need :
1. odin 13.3.1
2. official firmware for your device (to get the boot.img from AP_xxxx part => follow the other tutorial how to get boot.img and boot.tar magisk patched)(keep an original boot.tar, just in case stuck at boot)
3. 7zip ZS
4. Last Magisk Manager (for me was v7.3.1)
5. computer + usb cable
Warning : this root will give you big warning messages at every boot !
First you need to unlock your bootloader :
1/Under android, activate internet and go under "Developper Mode" (Setting>About>Software>Build Number and Tap on the build number repeatedly). OEM unlock option should be there.
If not wait and retry to see if there ... (needs internet, dont know why)
2/Then go under Recovery Mode (VolUp + Power at phone boot). No method to go "Download Mode" directly for my device.
3/Under Recovery, we need to unlock the bootloader as well. I cant remember what exactly I pressed but try to press VolUp or VolUP+VolDown just after you click to reboot under bootloader... It should show you a page where you can choose to unlock bootloader by long pressing VolUP. if you dont have it, retry again ... without that no Flash possible.
Warning : this unlock will give you a big warning at every boot !
4/if you managed to unlock the bootloader, it s almost finished... know under Download Mode with bootloader unlock, flash with Odin the magisk patched boot.tar. Do not forget to untick "reboot" under Odin.
(reminder:follow the other tutorial to get the file and remember to use the Magisk Manager v7.3.1 and not the canary.)
5/when flash done, reboot by pressing VolDown+Power then immediately on reboot VolUp to go under Recovery Mode.
6/Under Recovery, erase data/factory reset and reboot to system
(7/I dont know if it s necessary the VolUp at reboot till the vibration)
8/wait the booting ... if you are stuck on the warning page for a long time, retry to reflash the original boot.tar and restart from "1/"
9/if you managed to boot under android, good news you are rooted but it s not finished yet....
Under Android check you have "OEM unlock option" under Developper Mode (cf. 1/) otherwise at the reboot the system will go KO.
So when you have "OEM unlock" enabled you can install Magisk Manager. It will ask you to install something and it will reboot automatically. That s why check you have "OEM unlock" enabled before doing that !
10/After reboot, Done. ROOTED.. enjoy ! you can reboot as you want ...
Hi everybody
Yes, I facing same everyone's problem, I see on "download mode" it's show "OEM Lock: On (L)" I try all the ways to unlock in YouTube but no any method to unlock
I try to unlock with all tools I have but useless (my tool: Z3X, Miracle box, MCT Dongle , NCK Dongle, Octopus Suite Unlock, Samkey Unlock Crack)
I try to flash Custom Rom with Odin , Try to Install "Magisk" and "TWRP" by method in many website , it's useless at all
However I think I need to unlock OEM first but I can't because OEM not show in the developer option
I try all the ways to appear the OEM Unlock toggle by a changing date, Flash tar.md5, factory reset in many website it's can't help me
Samsung developer very strong and can't hacking to "OEM Lock : On (L)" on Android Pie 9.0??
1.power off device
2.while press and hold vol+ and vol- plug the data cable with pc
3.then warning screen apper
4.volume up long press.
5.then press volume up.
bootloader will unlocked!
*sorry for my bad english

Hi everybody,
er Download Mode with bootloader unlock, flash with Odin the magisk patched boot.tar. Do not forget to untick "reboot" under Odin.
Everything is about having this flash file you said you used. Please send us the link for that twrp file or whatever it is called right now as it is maybe not a Team Win Rom.
Thank you for your help

Hi,
It is not a TWRP file, it is the boot.img file from the original firmware for A10, patched with Magisk to access the root function, unfortunately it does not work, have tested it.

If you have an US variant of the A10, don't expect TWRP to work on your device.
