First of all I want to congratulate this awesome community. This is my second post in these forums and once again I would like a piece of your advice.
I have a Xperia P model 6.2.A.1.100 and I am having some problems. I always soft bricking my phone and can't flash any custom ROM. So I want to take it step by step.
First of all what should I have to my pc? ADB drivers, Flashtool and etc. From where should I download them?
Next I should use this guide right?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/p-doomlord-easy-rooting-toolkit-v17-t2335992
Afte executing the runme.bat everything seems to be right and SuperSU is installed to my device and Root Checker shows that my device is indeed rooted. So far we are good.
Then I try to follow this guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-0-t2626639
Then using Flashtool I am flashing through fastboot mode the boot.img. Then I try to follow step 2 which is Press power button when Device vibrates at boot splash/logo to enter TWRP recovery but nothing happens. My device is soft bricked.
I tried the follow these steps around 10-15 times and the result is same. I have to flash the stock ROM over and over again.
Did I miss any major step? Why I can't enter CWM Recovery? (Tried with many ways including guides from this site and others I found at the Internet but still can't enter).
Is there any way for my to have my custom ROM in my device? Right now I am so desperate I think I would stay in Stock if nothing will help solving my problem.
Is there any better guide with more steps?
That's all for now. If anyone can help me I ll be happy to hear his solution or advice
You have unlocked your bootloader before you wanted to flash your kernel right?
The Easy Rooting Toolkit by DooMLoRD is needed to flash custom ROMs, and you may need CWM Recovery if you are going to flash stock based ROMs, for CyanogenMod it's not needed but your bootloader must be unlocked http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/

Have you tried any root apps like kingroot? If there are any stock ROM images availible, you can even change the superuser application to supersu.
As long as the tools are here to find the root I have tried, no way to root my phone did not seem to see twrp zf3 image file, and if there is an image file that can be described with fastboot into the brush
I have been searching in the internet for hours, trying every method i could understand and none of them worked. the main problem is the official bootloader unlock tool provided by asus is not working, it just restarts the phone and it is still locked. one solution is flash a custom recovery without unlocking phone and another way is unlock without the official app or maybe root without custom recovery, i would be happy if someone explains a way to root this phone.
indeed. the official bootloader unlock is not working and just restarting with no changes.
Then i tried to flash TWRP via fastboot it says Ok but no TWRP when I proceed to recovery its only stock recovery.

I've managed to root my phone using magisk and looks like my phone is unlocked and unlock tool had no problem because i could flash modified boot.img and install magisk. Also i can't install asus updates anymore.

I don't really need to root it, and instead of creating new thread I'd ask here;
The L1 is my wife's phone now, it's unroot, and never need to be,...can somebody tell me the guide of how to get rid the bloatwares on it? With adb on pc perhaps?
Thank you in advance.

I suppose that you've already turned developer mode on and enabled the USB debugging.
Did you either reboot the phone by yourself or it did that automatically after flashing twrp? There are some devices that just restart and get the official bootloader back. This auto restart overwrites the bootloader.
Some people say that after flashing twrp you must unplug the device and then reboot directly to bootloader by yourself, holding the power and volume up buttons . Have you tried it?

Thank you guy! But today it returns 404.
Hello, I just bought a second-hand device Yezz Andy 5EI3 because I wanted to learn how to root. I tried with apps like KingoRoot, KingRoot, etc. but nothing worked, I also tried to do it manually following this guide
https://gearallnews.com/how-to-root-yezz-andy-5ei3-and-install-twrp-recovery/
but when I reached the step to boot my phone into custom recovery it didn't work. I downloaded the TWRP from the guide's link because I searched in TWRP for a custom ROM for my device but couldn't find it. Can you suggest me some alternatives if TWRP or maybe sth else that I should try? Thanks in advance
I want to access /data/system/users//settings_ssaid.xml to know what my game unique id is.
But after some research i learned that i have to root to able to get there but i have almost zero knowledge about it.
Are there any guide to root Redmi Note 10 from the scratch? Thanks.

Hi, I'm on official global ROM 12.5.3.0 RKGMIXM
And i turned on OEM Unlocking in developer mode yesterday (Which is confuse me a little a guide said i have to wait for 7 days for this but mine is nothing it's just switched to on)
OEM Unlocking is only one of the steps, but it does not unlock the bootloader. File a request with Xiaomi.
unlock bootloader
i recommend only booting to twrp, not flashing it
flash magisk 23
hide magisk

Why do you recommend to only booting to TWRP instead of flashing it?

because the twrp developer instruction is to booting , not flashing

Aside of that instruction, actually is it 'dangerous' if we install the TWRP? What 'bad things' would/may happen if we install it? (Because I see some guides about installing it on RN10, like this one for example, and I was almost followed that guide).
Risk of bootloop

Risk of bootloop and fastboot loop... because this twrp is modded to be booted and then flashed (you can found the option in advanced)
One time i faced a fastboot loop once i flashed directly the twrp , that's why i recommend booting it first and then , flashing

Yes, I mean that, (booting it first then flashing,.. (the TWRP right?).. I think the guide (which the youtube link I attached above) is also told to do that, right? (Or do I misunderstand this?)

Please confirm these;
*So we can:
Use TWRP only temporarily, only to root the phone (by flashing Magisk v23),
and then,
back to using the stock recovery on our RN10 afterward,
even if the RN10 is already rooted?
**If the answer for my question above is yes, then (in RN10 condition of Unlocked Boot Loader, Rooted, Stock MIUI & Stock Recovery) ;
Would we still get official OTA Update from Xiaomi (and can download and install the update- as how it's like before rooting the phone)?
Thank you in advance
It's an unnecessarily complicated procedure. Just flash a modified boot.img for your Miui using fastboot from your PC. If you don't have the ability to modify the boot.img on another rooted phone yourself, request a modified boot.img with the exact update version of your Miui here.

Thanks again, (and maybe I will try your suggestion later).. but (sorry)... your reply doesn't answer my questions.
(I think my questions are very clear and probably very easy to be answered by someone who has experience/knowledge about it (like you?).. no?)
Forgive my nooby questions.
But I really want to know as much as I can (especially about the answer for some questions I have inside my head about the matter, like I asked above),.. before executing doing something about my phone.
oops... I'm sorry for double send
In the past I rooted Miui and then continued to get OTA updates. However, this cannot be confirmed for all versions of Miui. Each new update changes the phone software and so what worked before may not work today.

Hi, I'm unlocked my phone and installed the orange fox it's the custom recovery right? Because it say so.
If yes, By Flash Magisk ZIP how to do that? Please explain the detailed steps, Thanks.
First of all, I would like to point out that Magisk (root) is a security risk. Without understanding the issues, the phone is more easily exploitable.
To install, just download the magisk file with the ZIP extension. In recovery, select the install option and select this file. Once installed, exit recovery and boot the system. Once the system boots, use magisk and complete the installation it requests.

the answer above is right ... but i would suggest to flash Orange Fox zip and then Magisk zip... to avoid problems
isn't there decrypt.zip for RN10?
How to decrypt this phone?
I usually did that along with rooting with my android phones before this.
Edit:
Update:
It's ok now I understand how, after watching this video.
