Hi everyone!
I just bought a Xiaomi MI 8 with a chinese ROM. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the Lineage OS 16 rom. I flash installed TWRP via ADB and now trying to flash the gapps. As it's not an img file but rather a zip archive I'm trying to TWRP install it but I can't see the folders I see in windows. It rather just shows me the linux folder structure and I can't locate the gapps installation zip file.
What do I do now? I'm stuck
thanks

Hello
I want to flash an os on my phone but the file containing the os is .img . Can someone please tell me how I can do that without TWRP because I had tried to do it with TWRP and it bricked my phone.
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
For whatever reason I can't budge the tool to flash the latest fastboot ROM on my Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite that I plan to sell since my new phone arrived today. A custom ROM from the last year is currently installed on the device.
I installed the latest Universal ADB drivers, installed the latest Mi Flash tool (2020.3.14.0), put the phone in fastboot mode, connected to PC via USB 2.0 port and tried to flash the latest fastboot stable ROM via the tool with "clean all" option and most of the time what happens when I hit the flash button, the fastboot logo on the phone disappears and in the left top corner a small white text "hit any button to restart" or something like that appears. Only once a progress bar appeared with $fastboot bla bla bla II echo missmatching image and device" and that was it... no progress, again the white text prompting me to hit any button to restart appeared on the screen.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong? cmonBruh

Hello.. I will try to help you.. And tell me if you fixed that..
Can you install a custom recovery? Twrp?
Id you can do that fallow my steps..
First download the fallowing twrp from here :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14cRc4UG4hzL45cDhdFZ7odr5Kb8LSai0/view
It can support ota update and your phone will boot I used it to flash my mi 8 lite without pc. And works!
Download and flash that twrp using mi flash tool. I hope your bootloader is unlocked if you already have other twrp installed simply flash the twrp zip file. And update your recovery. If you don't have any twrp installed simply rename. Zip file into .img file and flash it with flash tool. If you can't flash it using flash tool try to install any other twrp and then install the zip and update the twrp
After you installed twrp go and download recovery Rom from here :
https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/platina/
Download the first rom called : V11.0.2.0.QDTMIXM (1.8GB zip file)
( Recovery
miui_MI8LiteGlobal_V11.0.2.0.QDTMIXM_5574e03233_10.0.zip
Filesize
1.8G
MD5
5574e032330450c44c34d7f054de477b
Link
Download (Download to Mi Router)
Press download. Not download to mi router and don't forget.. Download the recovery zip file not the fast boot update!
After you downloaded boot in to twrp which I gave you above, wipe system / data / vendor / cache/dalvik and flash the zip file.
You can flash it with and without to wipe anything. But it is recommended to wipe. Pls go try and install it without to wipe anything, if it works ( for me works!) after flash done boot the phone and see if there is any problem. If u got any bugs or problems perform a clean flash wipe all and then flash!
Id you want root.. Fallow this :
You can root your phone with latest magisc manager using the same twrp. After you flash the boot.img with twrp press restart phone. If it won't restart go again to recovery and format only your data. And your will phone will boot again and you will get root acces. It's the only way to root android 10.
Please let me know if you fixed that problem.. And you flashed successfully the Rom..
DON'T FLASH THE ROM USING ANOTHER TWRP! ONLY THAT RECOVERY I GIVE SUPPORT OTA UPDATE AND CAN BYPASS THE XIAOMI Verification FOR THE STOCK ROM.. IF YOU USE ANY OTHER TWRP YOUR PHONE WILL BE STUCK IN Boot! Orange fox or any other twrp won't work!
I used this method and works like a charm
I tried installing one but the phone doesn't restart in the recovery and freezes.
Anyone can help me with the steps and the links to the files I need to use to install a working recovery? I'm on the latest MIUI 12.
If you just want to root, it's possible without TWRP too
You need to be googling every fact that you don't know, cuz I did in the same way
1. Find the original ROM file online
2. Verify that the version is same
3. Use online extractor and find boot.Img
4. download it, install magisk apk, open it, browse the boot file and patch it
5. Now copy patched boot file to ur adb folder in PC and rename it to boot.img
6. use fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. You've got root access, magisk works, boom!
if you just want root then follow the reply before me but if you want to install
custom recovery - https://fah1m.medium.com/how-to-install-custom-recovery-on-android-d70395f07be3
rom - https://fah1m.medium.com/how-to-ins...note-9-s-pro-pro-max-poco-m2-pro-f132b99e4785
follow these two guides and use pitch-black miatoll custom recovery.
hi guys i'm trying to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery and custom rom i've never done it if anyone can help me and all the necessary files thanks a lot
Well first downgrade to rui 2.0 and then using deep testing apk unlock the bootlorder and then flash custom recovery (ofox better) . Install your custom rom of your choice then ur good to go

Bene, prima eseguire il downgrade a rui 2.0 e quindi utilizzare l'apk di deep testing per sbloccare il bootlorder e quindi eseguire il flashing del ripristino personalizzato (ofox migliore). Installa la tua rom personalizzata di tua scelta, quindi sei a posto

Hi, maybe my experience will be useful to you. I have Realme 7 pro with android 12 rmx2170_11_f.24. I was doing root to my device. What I was doing? First I downloaded deeptest rui3.apk. When I get confirmation from manufacturer I start deep test in app. Then I use ADB to send command for unlock bootloader. I completed this task. Then I downloaded and flash TWRP 3.6.2_12 (because it's can work with android 12. I tried 3.5.2_10 it's not worked). Also you need vbmeta file from rmx2170_11_f.24 to don't make your phone brick. First flash vbmeta then recovery. After recovery you need to install Magisk from TWRP to keep TWRP working after reboot. But, when I tryed install Magisk I was getting TWRP error 1: cannot write /system. How I fix it? I reboot device and install Magisk 25.2 via Android. Then you need patch boot.img from rmx2170_11_f.24 via Magisk and you get Magisk patched boot.img. Then you need flash TWRP again and reboot to recovery. In TWRP you need chose flash img button and flash Magisk patched boot.img to boot partition. Doing this you keep TWRP working and then you can flash custom ROM's to your phone.
Mod edit: 4pda link removed.
here you can get f24 ROM ( you need vbmeta and boot.img from this ROM). ROM is ~2 Gb size. Maybe you need registration on website to download. Also get TWRP 3.6.2. I'll pin deep test rui3.apk and Magisk 25.2 for you here. You can rename Magisk.zip to Magisk.apk and install via Android. I gaved you roadmap how to make this. Hope you can do it. By the way, hello from Ukraine)
