Is there any way to root this phone? I would like to root just to edit the build.prop for the camera api in order to install the Gcam port ....
If you have an unlocked bootloader, the patched boot generated by Magisk Manager did work for me.

Do you mind to elaborate about the steps taken to get and patch boot image?
What I did is I grabbed the "boot_X-FLASH-ALL-8F02.sin" file, used UnSIN tool to convert it to "boot.img" and then Android Image Kitchen AIK to unpack and repack the image (this step is necessary on older Xperia phone, is that the case here?), then finally patch the repacked boot image using Magisk.
But when flashing the new patched boot image, I get a non functional touch screen and wifi. I was able to control the phone using ScrCpy tool to mirror the phones screen on my computer and control the phone from the window that appears on the computer. But since WIFI won't even turn on, I couldn't even verify that Magisk was working or not.
What is worse, is that if I tried to flash the original untouched Boot image SIN or the converted IMG, the phone still has non-working touch-screen and WIFI.
FlashTool by Androxyde and EMMA tools do NOT support this phone yet. I ended up using Newflasher tool to go back to stock (still unlocked bootloader) and everything works fine, but no root.
I have the US model I3223 btw.
Thank you kindly, awaiting your response.

Magisk Manager (the app) was able to patch boot_X-FLASH-ALL-8F02.sin directly and return an img file. I used fastboot to flash the patched boot.

older version can not patch boot.img, because when you click "install the zip",it will let you update the new verison.
Any news on the boot loop situation? I also encounterd this problem and back to running original boot.img. having an unlocked bootloader is useless without root ?

My I4293 stuck in bootloop~~help ~!
After installing Magisk19.3 with TWRP, my phone stuck in bootloop and can not enter the recovery mode.
I tried to flash I4293_53.0.A.6.96_1318-2077_R1A.ftf (Factory ftf. downloaded from experifirm) with flashtool to solve this problem.
when I tried to create bundle, I found that I4293 did not show in the ID list.
I can't do anything about it.
Anybody can help me plz~~ I'm fresh in XDA and just try to root my phone first time :crying:
This phone cannot be rooted at this time due to the lack of the img.patch and no driever.

Are you still stuck? For all of the latest Sony phones try NewFlasher instead.

Flashtool doesn't support our phones. Magisk 19.1+ currently doesn't work with our phones. Hopefully 19.4 will fix that.
Hello guys i rooted the nokia 3.2 with magisk by patching the boot.img and flash it using adb , younhave to unlock the bootloader which is very simple have just to enable developers options and then enable oem unlocking after that enter fastboot mode and open a powershell comand and type fastboot oem unlock and hit enter a message will apear n ur phone then select unlock bootloader with volume records and power buton to confirm , then copy the patched boot.img to the same folder as adb wich is located onthe local C/adb and the type fastboot flash boot boot.img and voila

Small update on this, there was an Android update recently, and it fixes everything ??* so if someone else here has the same issues somehow, updating to July update fixes it
I've some questions:
-does Nokia release his kernel source and which version use? on their website there is only for 3.1 I don't know if are same thing.
-Does support treble?
hello, now there is a august update for nokia 3.2 Do u have the boot file for that.. or how can I find it??
I add this phone to the list of my amazon.it account to make some stuff like twrp and roms but didn't buy yet, I'm afraid that Nokia will not release kernel source soon so in case of taking one I can make a twrp with stock kernel extracted from boot.img see ya.
Edit: buying this phone has been cancelled after reading unlocking bootloader seems to be "impossible" shame on you dear Nokia

Can you tell what your current build number is?
I suspect there is more than one firmware flavor around.

Unfortunately, I don't have my current build as a separate firmware file, and QFIL is not able to get the boot image from my phone because the communication stops right away.
My build number starts with 00EEA, whereas your boot image (and the full stock ROM on Mega that you linked) contains 00WW. I'm not sure this firmware is compatible with my Nokia 3.2 ...

I've looked around and so far could not find the stock firmware for my phone.
If I had it, I'm sure I could manage to extract the boot.img and let Magisk patch it (I've done that before with other devices).

Thanks for your efforts - I was able to solve the problem today.
It seems there are different versions of the same "programmer" around that is used in QFIL to extract your own boot image from the phone.
Originally, I used the one provided by @hikari_calyx in his unlock thread. Today I noticed that the programmer file in the stock firmware you provide here has a slightly different size. I tried this one and it worked.
So I could extract my "boot.img" from the phone. Rooting was easy after that.
I think it's always safer to use one's own boot image than trying to flash one that was lying around elsewhere.
Here is my post in the other thread for reference. Thanks again for your research and for providing the stock firmware!
.
Hello JFDee,
is it possible that you upload your original or modified boot image also?
Because i flashed the boot image that was given here and now i have the same problem, like said before.
WLAN is not working anymore and the Boot time is very long. Updating also don't work.
I also saw the differences in the build numbers.
My is like yours 00EEA....
This would be really nice, because i don'T find the stock image for this number.
Best regards!!!!

I have this device rooted with magisk BUT cant find way to properly port a qualcomm twrp from similar devices i just need help to get started with custom recovery if i can get one to boot i might be able to fiqure out the rest if any "Bugs" are found thru out the custom recovery. any help would be appericated.
below is a stock image of recovery and boot if needed
both images were from a " .Tar " file. I then extracted the file and got the recovery and boot in " .img.lz4 " format and then i converted them to " .img " only for easy access to edit ETC.
Android Version : 10
Current Firmware Version : A115MUBU1ATC2

Why not compile a matching TWRP by yourself?
Look inside here.
@ jwoegerbauer i can give a try but have no experiences when it comes to makin a custom recovery.

Yea, im also looking for a way to get some sort of custom recovery on the exact same device. My advice is (if you cant build your own version of twrp) to just wait for some devs to release something for it. The galaxy a11 is a very new device so we'll just have to wait it out.
Edit: So I followed a tutorial here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=40&v=MyxGZbCuxDQ&feature=emb_logo) and i created this (https://filebin.net/u3yww2cyajktm043). IT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK!!! USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!

You can put the device into download mode and unlock the bootloader from there...
I'm currently stuck on this device trying to get it to unlock the boot loader. I've ticked OEM unlock but when I get into download mode (adb reboot download) I'm not getting any option to unlock the boot loader there. I'm also not able to get into download mode with any key commands. Any ideas here?
I've heard you power off, then hold volume up and down when you plug in a data cable. Haven't tried it yet, I'm on the a115u t-mobile variant. I can get to what it calls download mode, which looks to be fastboot and NOT the standard samsung blue screen download mode. Just boot to recovery and select reboot to bootloader. I do not have oem unlock in my dev settings, but I'll see if I can fastboot oem unlock when I get back to my laptop.
flash sm-a115u1 version firmware first. gives you oem unlock option. obviously toggle on and adb debugging. power off the phone. hold both volume buttons and insert usb cable. it will look like the normal blue download warning screen but read it carefully. it says long press volume up to unlock bootloader. it works. it will go black. release volume up and next it will ask you to confirm. choose yes. it will reboot and erase. after skipping thru set up enable dev options again and you will see oem toggle greyed out with a caption "bootloader already unlocked". thats as far as ive gotten. because now im like "what now?" i need a custom recovery file to flash to the device. any help with that out there? so now that the bootloader is unlocked can i install magisk to root and if so after that how can i network unlock? any help would be greatly appreciated. also looking for any custom roms that are available for this a11(2020). seems like a decent phone.thanks.
Situation:
You can build your TWRP it's very easy. Or get compiled version from A10 and patch your system.
As result you'll get a bootloop.
Why?
Samsung had f****d you up and give you a SECURE BOOT that's not possible to remove by bootloader unlock. If you're install wrong signed recovery loader will said to you:
1st something is going wrong and signatures are mismatched, lete wipe your phone!
Ok. You jad solved that and not wiped your phone.
2nd hmm, signatures still mismatched I'll not boot and go in ***!
Result:
Untill someone will not break this Qualcomm Secure Boot you'll not able to install custom OS or TWRP or any other good stuff.
Is there any updates that can be flashed with stock recovery

What's a point? Unpack firmware's AP_ file, extract boot.img, patch it through magisk, and flash through odin. But where in that thread header did you found the install root?
I want to remind you that recovery is bot a root part. That's why root thread and TWRP threads are separated.

Ahh I see. Sorry then.
You shall do that way. Find current fiware for your device, download it through fine software.
A result you will get 5 files with .zip extension.
You need to unpack file with AP_ prefix, i suggest you to use 7zip for that stuff. From file you need took off the boot.img.
Then boot.img you shall pack into archive.tar,
When you've done, down load the Magisk apk from github and install on your phone. Move your jew archive to phone memory/diwnload folder and start the Magisk, make patching of kenel, as result you'll receive the magisk_patched.tar, copy that file to your pc and start the Odin, place that archive in AP slot and flash it.
PROFIT!
But I want to warn you in android 10 and up there root and kernel system are different, now system is booting from super.img, and partition /,/system and etc are RO, so through the root you'll not able to change anything in system it would be wiped on next system restart.
Hello, I am from Canada and I just got a Moto G Power (2021) XT2117-4 with the firmware QZBS30.Q4-43-129-2. I unlocked the bootloader thru Motorola with no problems. I installed Rescue and Smart Assistant and downloaded my firmware. I patched the boot.img thru Magisk and flashed it to my phone using ADB. I was not able to achieve root. I also tried to boot thru recovery mode but got the no command sign. I then rescued my phone and tried it again flashing to both boot_a and boot_b still to no avail. If anyone has any info on why this is and has a solution to my problem it would be greatly appreciated.

That is just how the patched boot.img is created.
Now you have to flash it with fastboot.exe
Been thru that already no root.
Do I have to rename it to boot.img when I flash it or can I leave with with the patched name?
I am going to start from scratch again. I don't think I made a mistake because I rooted my G7 Play this way too. I also get feedback from terminal confirming flashing.

Ok, if you want help you have to give details.
No root means nothing.
I downloaded firmware from Rescue assistant copied boot.img to phone selected it thru magical and patched it. Copied patched boot.img to PC. Put it in ADB folder renamed it back to boot.img. Opened up ADB terminal and flashed - fastboot flash boot boot.img. Terminal said writing boot_a......okay.....finished. reboot no root. Tried again with flashing to boot_a and to boot_b. Reboot still no root. That's about all I can tell you everything checked out including ramdisk - yes in Magisk, boot.img from same firmware that is currently on phone. Not sure why it's not working.
Actually, sorry phone is now rooted. Once I added root checker to superuser in magisk it showed phone was successfully rooted Thanks for all your help!
Just to confirm, as I've yet to root my device and may encounter this same issue. Did you solve it having done anything different with the rooting procedure or was it a simple matter of adding the root app to Magisk SU? If the latter, Did magisk display the SU prompt at all?
Yes, the root instructions are good. I think why Magisk did not prompt me, initially was because my phone was setting up for the first time and it was bogged down by Google restoring apps etc. Now Magisk prompts me every time for root apps.
So I'm Down to Help this is what I did. So
Download Rescue and blah blah assistant
Found My Phone Checked and Double Checked all information then when I did so I extract led the Folder to My desktop, looked inside it's little bundle of goodness to find boot.img pulled it out and connect my Moto G.
At This Point I Just Opened up My Phone storage (from My P.C) pulled it out and stuck it in my main storage.
At that point Went and Got Magisk v.23 renamed the download as Magisk v.23.apk
Then Riped her Open Like A wild animal installed the .apk (If the File Manager or whatever you are using won't let you install go to settings for the particular File Manager you are using on your phone and allow download a from unknown sources)
Pulled out the boot.img I put in my main storage and went to My sexy New Magisk App and selected "select and Patch a file"
At the Point stepped out for a quick smoke and had a tug.
Then your final product will be Magisk_patchedv23.img (or something like that)
Then after you get all that mumbo move that back to your P.C
I assume you have adb fastboot
So then I pull it up (not sure if it affects anything but I did adb Root)
Anywho first I did
adb devices -l
As soon as I see my phone se then I know I got it.
#also side not make sure the wording next to the device says device
Ok so at the point type
adb reboot fastboot
Then repeat same command as the adb one
Fastboot devices
#seeyour device? Dope
Then wherever you put that patched image sometimes you need to put the FULL path
Example for me it was
Fastboot flash magisk_patched.img boot
Which didn't work so tried the _a still nothing soo hence the FULL PATH I put it on my desktop if you don't know the full path right click the file and hit properties
final Command for me
fastboot flash boot C:\Users\insan\Desktop\magisk_patched.img
Boom Done and Done!!!! And as always take Back Ups Before and After and Save that Patch .img
I've needed it like 10 times !
Hope That Helps Ya
And the last pic Is Proof
God Bless, and Good Luck!
Hi everyone, I prefer remain with the Chinese rom for a while but I'd like to root my moto x40 with magisk.
I've tried but after flashing the patched boot.img the phone boot normally. the firmware has vbmeta so I followed the procedure suggested by the guide in this situations.
the weird thing is the patched root remain exactly with the same original dimensions.
I think this is an a type partition firmware due to boot.img presence but there is also a file called vendor_boot.img. according with this article seems an a/b type.
Vendor Boot Partitions | Android Open Source Project
source.android.com
I attach a screen of the firmware content, the log of patched boot file and the adb process.
Please, can anyone explain me how can I root successfully? thanks
Did you unlock the bootloader? Once done you need to flash a patched init_boot.img instead of boot.img through fastboot.
This guide should be useful (it's for the Pixel 7s, but should work with this phone, and of course use the init_boot.img from the original ROM file for your phone)
Hope that helps
hi, thank you for the answer.
yes the bootloader was unlocked.
This rom is the same as my phone's. I had take by lolinet.
unfortunately magisk is unable to patch vendor_boot , I'm trying to attach it.
Is Someone able to patch?
vendor_boot.img
Shared with Dropbox

This is my vendor-boot
Do you lose VPN access after bootloader unlocked?
No, I didn't lose

You need to patch init_boot.img using Magisk, and flash both init_boot_a and init_boot_b with the patched file through fastboot
