I don't think so until we get our bootloader unlocked
A general question about root.. Does getting root means we can switch carrier (move to att/verizon) on tmobile locked phones?

Can you elaborate by "switching carrier's?" Do you mean putting an att/Verizon sim into a T-Mobile phone? Or flashing a att/Verizon firmware to a T-Mobile phone?
If you're referring to the sim, then no. You'll have to either pay for a service to do it for you or wait for TMobile to unlock it for you.

Yes I mean using a SIM from a different provider.
Thanks for the info!
Google what Root means, It does not unlock SIM, it just allows for customization

and it allows you (the one plopping down a grand for this device) to remove all the CRAP that Samsung and your carrier thought it would be in THEIR best interest to put on your phone.
Since samfail doesnt trip knox (afaik) is it possible to unroot and use samsung pay again? Or is that gone regardless?

If you flash back to stock, Samsung Pay works fine since we never tripped Knox.

Thanks for the reply, I have tried secure settings and it did not work. I am unsure how to make Tasker add a toggle. I remember the note 5 we had to add MobileData line some where in csc or something.

I thought T-Mobo's bootloaders were unlocked by default (as is the T-Mobo's Note 5)?
NP
Piezan,sorry I was vague.Secure Settings has a Tasker plugin that under the right conditions allows you to either build a Tasker Profile ( voice,geofence or whatever ) to toggle Data or straight up make a widget for it...I remember on my Nexus 5 I had a Tasker Profile that as soon as I was about 50 feet from the house I would enter an AutoLocation Geofence I had set (Home) thus toggling my Data in favor of the home WiFi. The main reason I suggested it is that it requires root (for the SS part).
I guess I'll ask here.
When rooted is the 80% limit ,actual or perceived ? I keep reading it's still 100pct just reporting 80.
What exactly breaks or stops working. I know about Android and Samsung pay. But I've read Samsung health which is mind boggling that root would have anything to do with a heart rate sensor.
Lastly my main desire is for one click video download ,and Instagram downloads of stories or vids etc. These are Xposed dependent. Would I be able to use Xposed with samfail. (If not any non root alternatives?)
Fastboot and Download mode
I'm on rooted note 8 and booting into Download mode every time to charge the phone to 100% instead of 80%. Using hardware keys to get back to OS every time is uncomfortable and takes too long. Easiest way I know is to do "fastboot reboot" from PC, while the phone connected via USB. However, I cant get my PC to recognize the phone while it is in Download mode - "fastboot devices" lists nothing, and if I try "fastboot reboot" the command prompt just sits on < waiting for device >.
Does anyone know what note 8 specific drivers for Windows 10 x64 need to be installed, or what else to do to make fastboot recognize connected phone in Download mode?
I know the same feeling with the fastboot I can't seem to figure it out. I usually use Minimal ADB and Fastboot and it's worked on most every modern droid I've ever owned I don't see why the Note 8 is so finicky with it. I had no problems with it and my V20.
I know that these things take time, but does anyone have any idea if anyone is working on root for the new updated bootloader? I know that the new bootloader that came with last update broke root but I have not heard or seen anything. I haven't updated but would like to know. ????

unlock and root
unlock makes your phone usable on other carrier's network. Rooting gives you administrator privilege so that you can for example install "root" only apps etc.
Root the phone so you can backup properly with Titanium Backup. Also to delete cap off your system folder.
Call your carrier and explain you need to unlock your phone because you are going to be traveling out of the country. I have heard that works for getting an unlock code...

best answer for ur question
Rooting allows complete access to all phone software...allows u to install any rom, kernel, and software that u want as long as its compatible with your phone.
Unlock allows you to use your phone with any cell phone carrier...

Hi folks. I am not allowed to post in the developer forums since I am a new user so I figured I'd try here and hopefully some developer will be watching this forum.
I want to root my new Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4. I found the thread regarding the all in one tool for doing the root and installing recovery.
I followed the instructions, downloaded the tool, connected my phone, invoked the tool and selected Option 1 (Root my phone). The cursor skipped down one line and then nothing. I waited 15 minutes to make sure it wasn't doing anything but that's it, nothing.
I am new to Android and therefore new to Rooting so I thought this all in one tool would be perfect for me to get the job done. But I now have no idea why nothing happens when I invoke the tool and select Option 1.
Is there somebody in this forum who can help me please?

Once you select Option 1, you need to go back to the main windows to uncheck one box (F something) and then click start before it does the rooting. I missed it yesterday also and just keep waiting until I realized there was a step I didn't do.

Did you enable USB debugging and third-party? USB debugging can be found by tapping on build number (i think) under about phone like 7 times. Developer options should appear in your settings after that. Third-party sources is under security I believe. Hope that helps!

I actually found my problem. Even though I had the usb debugging flag set, when I tried to root, a popup window came up in the background asking me to confirm that I wanted to enable usb debugging. Because it was in the background I kept missing it. Once I saw it and replied, everything worked perfectly. Hope this maybe helps someone.

Root just allows you to hack the software on your phone, and the "unlock" refers to the bootloader. It does not unlock the phone for other carriers; this is done (from what I understand) by dialing a specific set of codes, generally provided to you by the original carrier of the phone if you have an account in good standing with them and you tell them you plan on travelling out of the country and need to use GSM. I have never needed to do this and as such only have a minor theoretical knowledge of the subject; I would appreciate it if somebody with more knowledge on this would confirm or deny my suspicion that you are better off trading the phone for an AT&T/T-Mobile one that actually was meant for GSM, or otherwise obtaining one.

This is the original bootloader; not the stock firmware. You need to flash this after you successfully root, start the phone, start SuperSU, and update the SU binary.
The full stock firmware is rather large and available here:

thanks for telling me this first of all, so let me see if i get this right and im hoping you or someone will tell me if im correct or not. The all in one root method does that take care of the whole SuperSu, and update part or do i still need to do that after the root tool does its business? With unrooting do i just need to flash the stock firmware in odin use triangle away and i should be good correct, im not quite understanding the whole thats the original bootloader....the file that downloads is a .tar i thought that was firmware/rom....what do i need the original bootloarder for exactly?

The original bootloader is locked and doesn't allow for us to use the exploit to install SuperSU and root the phone.
We are installing the unlocked bootloader via Odin...
Then running motochopper to exploit a vulnerability to gain root...
Then MANUALLY (this can't happen automagically) opening SuperSU and updating the SU binary...
Then rebooting the phone to make sure you still have root (personal preference)...
Then re-loading the original bootloader (we don't need the modified one anymore!) via Odin...
Then we are done!
The steps in the how to are very precise and accurate. If you would like to PM me, I am available for another hour or so.

Well said. Only correction is the bootloader still remains locked. The recoveries included are loki patched. This bypasses the bootloader. All roms and kernels are loki patched so flashing them is safe. This is as close as we're gonna get to an unlocked bootloader for now.
Ah. I was under the impression the bootloader was unlocked. Thanks for the info.

Could be a couple of things first make sure your using the cable that came with your phone. Try switching usb ports. Alsi try rebooting your pc
**Sorry for the crude guide, If someone would like to rewrite it and make it more beginner friendly that would be great**
I will explain how i achieved root on my AT&T note 7 , This is based off of Super leaky brothers Sprint method found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-note-7/how-to/root-super-leaky-bros-sprint-galaxy-t3447202
files needed , Im assuming you already have samsung drivers and adb installed
1. Sprint engineering rom https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651430732236681
2. Modified Odin (this is version I used , im sure others work fine)http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/tools/ODIN/ODIN-modified.zip
3. ATT stock rom https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24686679545610574
4. Sun7 files https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651430732236679
process
1. Unlock developer mode , turn oem unlock and usb debugging on
2. Put Phone is download mode
3. Flash Sprint engineering rom
4. Once flash is complete and the phone reboots put it back in download mode before it boots (if not you will be waiting a while)
5. Flash all the files From the stock ATT rom except the sytem file , leave out the ap file
6. After second flash is complete wait for the phone to boot , it will take 20-30 minutes and may just sit at the samsung screen the entire time, .be patient
7. After boot is complete skip through all the setup process and enable developer mode and make sure usb debugging is on
Copied from freezas post
8: Open a command prompt where your ADB executable and sun7 folder are.
9: Verify standard root access by typing "adb shell" then "su" If successful, type "exit" twice to get back to the command prompt.
10: Push the sun7 folder to your phone by typing "adb push sun7 /data/local/tmp/su"
11: Change permissions of contents in su to 777 by typing "adb shell chmod 0777 /data/local/tmp/su/*"
12: Launch adb shell by typing "adb shell"
13: Change directory to su by typing "cd data" "cd local" "cd tmp" "cd su"
14: Gain standard root privileges by typing "su"
15: Execute the SU script by typing "./root.sh"
You should now be rooted , Everything I use appears to function as it should , I dont use samsung or android pay so i dont know about those
***none of this is my work , this was just me messing around with the work of others so if you use this then head over to there threads and give them a like or a donation and As always this is do at your own risk, Its your phone and not mine and im not responsible for it.
Im pretty sure this same method could be done with all u.s. models and there stock roms but I dont have those devices to test
Awesome, thanks for putting this together! So technically, this should work for all variants correct?
So does it haave aall Sprint bloatware since you left the sprint system file flashed?

I'm using this root on Sprint, and it is WAAAY better than the s7 root. No lag for me and from what I can tell, no battery or heat problems. After installing all my apps, I decided to do a quick Antutu test, and I got great results. YMMV...:silly:

It is tough to say because the Sprint release firmware didn't even have Wi-Fi calling as an option (Sprint just flat out doesn't have VoLTE)...anyway, I won't clog up the att forum with a bunch of Sprint talk. Wish you all the best.
Stupid question guys, but:
1. Are we able to use Samsung Pay with this non-Knox tripping root method, while Rooted?
2. I assume we won't be able to keep root in the future, when Samsung releases new firmware and patches this exploit? Or does EngBoot mean we can always flash the latest system.img?
3. With this exploit in place, would you guys still consider buying the International models without warranty, but with better dev support? Thanks!

Here is where I am:

Developer options ON -> OEM unlocking ON (Allow the bootloader to be unlocked)So, where do I go from here? (am sorry if that really can be found already in this forum, I however did not find it ... maybe I'm just too stupid)
I love the perfect screen name.
Did you search, at least?? Look in the question and answer forum and in the general forum as well.
I'm sure that your answer is there in bold letters. But. If you don't have a bootloader unlock code, then you are out of luck, and TotallyClueless.

Well, I am kinda tech affin, and every associate comes to me when it is about computers or even smartphones, despite me stating over and over again that I actually have no clue about the inner workings of android or smartphones. Well, at least I can use the Apps better then them... (not really an art, most of them can't even install them ... and I mean direct from the google play store)

Just turning that option on doesn't unlock your bootloader. You have to use some commands using adb to actually unlock the bootloader. Search that for that thread, and you'll see the full listing of instructions. However, if you didn't request that code before Huawei took it awei, then you won't be able to do anything, as has been said in many a thread.

As nabril15 says, it's not possible on BLA-L29C432B146 or later. This is due to an updated bootloader which can't be downgraded.
So sadly there is no way for you to unlock, unless Huawei opens their unlock site again.
Hello,
I'm in the same place:
Huawei mate 10 pro
BLA-L29 8.0.0.150(C432patch01)
but my bootloader is unlocked
and under 8.0.0.145 I also had root
how do I get root?

1) Go in TWRP to "Advanced" and open "Terminal" - type following commands:
Code:
echo KEEPVERITY=true>>/data/.magisk
echo KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=true>>/data/.magisk
Confirm the entry to apply it and go back to the main menu on "Install"
2) Flash latest Magisk-v17.1.zip with TWRP

Mexxx... At one point some time ago, I wiped my data partition, so I don't know if it's encrypted or not; I assume that it is not. When I run twrp blanc, I see that it decrypts data and then I can its contents.
Do I want to preserve force encryption? Or should I set it to false?

You'd want it true.
If you have flashed firmware between the "some time ago" and now you are encrypted.
And removing encryption requires both wipe data AND edit fstab in /vendor/etc. fstab is replaced when you flash a new firmware and you will be encrypted again.
Also, if you're using TWRP by Pretoriano80 that's the reason why you can see data, it can decrypt.
Does anyone have experience with this 'DCunlocker' program that has to be unlocked with 4,- Euros?
Does it work to unlock the bootloader?
I can't believe this phone can't be unlocked anymore, if I would have known that I wouldn't have bought it.

DO NOT EVER TRY ROOT THIS PHONE OR EVEN BUY IT IF ROOTING IS YOUR AIM.
Huawei have ensured that they make it impossible to unlock the bootloader or to root. What will happen is you will need to buy a bootloader unlock code from Funky Huawei for 55 USD, when you brick your phone you will need to pay them a extra 18 USD for the unbricking tool. No wonder western countries are kicking this POS brand out of their countries. Huawei just wants to spy on us hence why they don't want us to tamper with their software.
NEVER HAUWEI AGAIN!
XIAOMI ALL THE WAY!!
guess i wont be spending/wasting $75 on this phone going to go out on a limb and say same for the P20 pro? spend to unlock it???

Yes unfortunately the same. Rooting or doing any modding on Huawei is extremely risky and made even more difficult with Huawei c**k blocking.

Sorry Sam, I just saw this. If your intent is to root then save the $75. However, it still remains a powerful phone with an amazing battery life. The updates are far and few, but let's be honest, the phone still works fine. I'm not being petty-minded, I'm simply offering a point of view. I have mine rooted with the stock rom. I haven't been able to do a whole lot rooted other than to freeze a few apps using titanium backup. Was that worth the hassle it took to root it? I'm not sure. I have a fast and awesome phone, stock and rooted and not really doing much with the root.
Good luck and decide for yourself.
@nabril15 thanks for the reply ... i have the s8+ and im tired of samsung and looking to move away from them ... i wanted this phone because i couldnt pass up the price ... im rooted and locked BL now ... so it would be the same with the 10 PRO ..... is it better then what i have .. id have to buy it and test it myself ... not really sure what to do but i appreciate the comments ...

No problem. If you can get this phone for 75, go for it. Updates, schmupdates. Big deal. It is fast, the battery is ridiculous, the camera is very good, and it's a good phone. So we have to wait longer for Pie which is probably very similar. So what? 75 for any smartphone is a good deal. Face it

It depends on what build it comes with. If it's security patch June or later (in most cases) you won't be able to use DC to unlock it. There are other, much more expensive services available (10x the price of DC) to get unlock code if your build is too new.
Hello very friendly helping people!
Im a 10 year iPhone user, but over time i came to hate all the restrictions and so i got myself a K30 Ultra and later today it should finally arrive!
Unfortunately i found out that it doesnt check the Google SafetyNet thingy and i can't use Google Pay with it. That kinda sucks, I never thought about stuff like this on iOS, but I'm confident there is a solution for it.
I found out about rooting my device, but it somehow isn't possible because of the Mediatek chip. But then I also found out that apperenty there IS a way to use the program/thingy that makes the phone pass SafetyNet (Magisk) without the need of a custom ROM.
I'm sorry if im confusing words like rooting im very noobish about all this.
So here are my questions in short form:
1. Can I make Google Pay Work in any way on my Redmi K30 Ultra?
2. Does this also affect my banking apps (I'm using DKB and Kontist) and can this be solved, too?
3. Could you link me some guides how to do it?
4. Is there any danger doing it (like deleting my phone if it doesnt work) and is there a possibility to safe my device on the PC or something like this to be safe?
5. Are their any safety concerns doing "it" (not sure what the solution will be) and should I install an anti virus program on the device? I just read about the cerberus trojan and its kinda scary. I think iOS systems were always pretty safe against those.
6. Anything else i need to know?
Thank you so much! I appreciate it a lot that there is a place where i can go to get help on those things! <3
Google Pay and any other banking apps refuse to work when a rooted Android gets detected by them. BTW: SafetyNet API doesn't purely check whether the device's Android is rooted, as the API is designed to check the overall integrity of device's Android.

Hey, thanks for your post!
Are you implying that there is no way around that and its doomed to forever not work on my device?
To clarify things: SafetyNet is run by an app that has implemented this API, it's not run by Android OS itself. Yes, Magisk allows you to lever out this test by manipulating device's fingerprint so you will possibly be able to use Google Pay etc.pp
FYI: Any app not having SafetyNet API implemented easily can check whether Android got rooted / tampered or not. The app simply runs functions like
Code:
isRootNative
isDetectedDevKeys
isDetectedTestKeys
isFoundBusyboxBinary
isFoundDangerousProps
isFoundHooks
isFoundResetprop
isFoundSuBinary
isFoundWrongPathPermission
isFoundXposed
isNotFoundReleaseKeys
isPermissiveSelinux
isSuExists
isMagiskSUExists
isFoundMagisk
isFoundRootCloakingApps
what can't get prevented by Magisk.

Ok, perfect. Would you be able to link me to a guide that shows me how to install Magisk on my device? It has a Mediatek chip so a custom ROM isn't possible (as far as I understand).

How to install Magisk without a Custom ROM is explained here.
If a Custom ROM like TWRP isn't officially made public for your device then you have to compile TWRP at your own.
This is TWRP and Magisk for the latest firmware on the K30 Ultra. https://mifirm.net/downloadtwrp/166
---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------
Google Pay on a rooted device with Magisk installed /is/ possible, my Galaxy Note 9 with Dr. Ketan's ROM works with Google Pay and I believe it's due to the CTS Profile fix which is available in its ROM Tool app. So there's going to be some way to make it work with the K30 Ultra.

Oh wow how cool is that, that is custom for the K30 ultra
And do I install that with the guide linked above or do I need some certain skill and experience to do that. It says it isn't tested yet. If I do a mirror of my phone before nothing really bad can happen right?

Yeah the only think that failed SafetyNet Test is the "CTS profile match". But I can't use those roms for my K30 ultra, right, so I just do it with Magisk?
Thanks so much!!
You need to unlock your bootloader with the Mi Unlock tool then flash TWRP over fastboot, and in TWRP make the appropriate backups and flash Magisk. There's many guides and it's relatively straight forward.
K30 Ultra is basically a brand new phone, it's like a month old. It'll be a while but keep an eye on XDA Forums, on the internet, and on YouTube. Somebody will eventually describe or figure out how to fix the CTS Profile.
I think I'm not gonna modify mine and I'll just wear my Apple Watch to use it for contactless payments.

Alright, so I read 12384 guides and had a very tiny sense of it. The Mi Unlock tool stopped me, though, and now I'll have to wait another 6 days.
As I understood it, my data will be erased, but can be just be restored by MIUI if backed up before. I'm gonna let you know how it worked after I'll do it in about a week.
Probably I won't have to patience to wait. Google Pay is a really nice to have, but neither voLTE, nor voWifi works on my device, so I for sure have do hack that some weird way, because i have no mobile network at all at home and absolutely need voWifi.
Thank you very much for your kind help! <3
No problem at all.
I'm not sure if Wifi-Calling (voWifi) works with my carrier as I've turned it on with the carrier and in the phone, and it doesn't seem to be making calls over wifi. Not a big deal for me though as I've got Unlimited calls with my carrier.
Please let us know if and when you do flash the TWRP as I'd like feedback before flashing it myself.
Do your banking apps refuse to work or is it only google pay that fails due to the safetynet fail?

Yeah, me too, but I have a very bad connection in my flat so I do need voWifi anyway. I will let you know and hope I won't brick my device. But as I understand it, bricking the device just by flashing twrp is very unlikely, right?

Only Google Pay, both of my banking apps work perfectly. I couldnt scan the security bar code though, some internal google app wouldn't allow it. So i had to put in both the (very long) idendification and security numbers in manually.
Alright thanks. Another thing im interested in is if Snapchat works when safetynet fails. Did you do any tests regarding that?

Not using Snapchat, but I just installed it and it starts without problems. Didn't made an account though.
So I'm gonna be able to flash twrp and Magisk in exactly 14 hours and have some questions i would really appreciate an answer to <3
Using this: https://mifirm.net/downloadtwrp/166
1. The thing i want to flash first is twrp and it is the file called "recovery.img" in the downloaded folder, is that correct?
2. Just flashing twrp is "relatively" safe and if I do a backup and the device bricks by installing Magsik after, i can recover it through twrp, correct?
3. Should I not install todays new security update to MIUI or does that not matter at all?
edit: 4. Do I need/want to have "USB debugging", "Install via USB" and "USBebugging (Security Settings)" enabled or just "OEM unlocking"?
Thank you so much! I'm very nervous since i didn't read any experiences of rooting the K30 Ultra before and I'm scared of killing it.
Hey Mirardt, good luck. Let us know how you get on!
1. Yeah, you'll use fastboot to flash the recovery.img for TWRP.
2. Do a full backup with TWRP and you should be safe.
3. Doesn't matter, it's just the September Android security update.
4. Yeah turn on USB Debugging and connect your phone to your computer - it will ask you if you want to allow this computer to debug your phone, choose accept and always (or something similar to those words.) Do this before flashing TWRP.

Hey Jabo, nice, I'm gonna do just that! Just for clarification, I use Mi Unlock Tool first, THEN twrp, then backup, then magisk?

I'm VERY sorry for the noobish questions.
I'm going to quickly use this thread to ask how to actually unlock the K30 Ultra Bootloader. I did everything the guides said, but Mi Unlock still doesn't recognize the phone when it's plugged in. Any Advice?
Hey guys (especially JaboJG). quick update: Flashing twrp and Magsik both just worked perfectly. no brick. Thanks for your help!!
The only issue is that it didnt help in passing Google Safety Check. I tried almost everything there is and will post my logs of MagiskHide Props in their thread soon.
Also, now some apps don't work anymore because they detect the root. I hope we will find a fix.
