Hello I'm new to this the only phone I rooted was way back when u just had to throw some files on your phone install and your good, anyway thst being said I can't figure out how to root my phone I have a lg tribute empire (mcv1s) x220 android Oreo 8.1. I have heard you need a unlocked bootloader to do roots now however when I do try to unlock my bootloader with the platform-tools it does not boot into fast boot mode and in recovery mode it shoes unauthenicated device, no fastboot devices showing up, I feel like I should mention that I have tryed just about every ****ing driver I could find and tutorial if anyone could give me some guidance that would be great. P.S. sorry for the long type out

I don't have this device myself and there's very little (maybe 1-2) threads that discusses the LG Tribute Empire (LM-X220PM) device.
But there's some hope!
Since this device has a MediaTek MT6750 Chipset with a 64-bit Processor, you can always try to go in that direction.
The following thread would be a good start for what you are looking for...

sadly i dont think its possible yet
I don't know if things have changed for new MediaTek devices (regarding FRP) but i would recommend to read a lot about SP Flash Tool, especially how to make a full ROM dump (read back), what is a scatter file, and why it is important to never flash the preloader. if you get managed to install the MediaTek MT65xx USB VCOM Preloader Drivers (which works best with battery removed), you should be able to make a backup (= read back) from SP Flash Tool.
If this first step fail for some new security features (i don't know), don't go further here...
If you not absolutely sure that a scatter file is matching your partition layout, do not flash anything!
Next (non-invasive) thing is to get fastboot working. you can reboot to bootloader, which is just another name for fastboot mode. this can be done from recovery, from a working adb, or with the proper key combo. once you see the device serialno after typing "fastboot devices" you managed this step.
Then you can go over to read about Magisk. rooting with Magisk is easy, all you have to do is provide your original boot.img to the Magisk Manager, then (invasive) flash the patched_boot.img.
Before flashing, take the decision if you are willing to factory reset your device.
If yes, first disable FRP (= enable OEM unlocking). then unlock your bootloader from fastboot. This will trigger FACTORY RESET! if you are afraid about flashing, first just boot the magisk patched_boot.img from fastboot without flashing it. then you can flash your magisk patched_boot.img from fastboot, too. i will not post fastboot syntax here because it differs for (non-)A/B devices
If no, you can try to flash (= Download) magisk patched_boot.img from SP Flash Tool. This should work with locked bootloader (at least it worked for older devices). Maybe you have to remove some checksum (files, or inside scatter file, i don't know). Again, most important: Make 100% sure you use the right scatter file (a successfully magisk patched boot.img from read back is not a bullet-proof indicator, but regarding the boot(a/b) partition(s) it may sufficient)
If the rooting fail for some reason or your device is not working anymore, flash back the full ROM dump with same scatter file you used for read back. This should restore it's original state (again, do not flash preloader!)

so like I was saying I need a boot.IMG or copy, if adb doesn't work I reset my computer or phone and used cwroot (the one that uses a script) root.sh to get the adb shell, that or factory reset the empire, and computer, reinstall adb ... thanks
fastboot only works from usb cable and is not related to adb. If you want to flash boot.img from adb you need a root shell. If you have a root shell you can dump boot.img by yourself with dd. If you find stock ROM you can extract boot.img from download, but you won't be able to flash boot.img without root shell, twrp or fastboot. besides this you need to unlock bootloader (which is only possible from fastboot) in order to get the capability to disable dm-verity, otherwise your phone won't boot with modified boot partition (and may become soft-bricked)
Another root method is bootless root
I strongly recommend you don't make things over-complicated and just find a pc you can use for 1/2 hour
maybe your device comes shipped with fastboot disabled?

When I tryed to flash MeanICS on my evo all appeared to go well until I rebooted. After rebooting I only got a black screen. I can still boot into bootloader which gives me hope. I tryed reflashing Mean and a couple of other ROMs but the problem persists. I was hoping someone may have had a simular problem and had a fix or workaround that I could try.
Thx
Check my guide I listed this exact issue in troubleshooting, if you have any questions after feel free to ask
Thank you for your help. I now understand the problem (bootloop, caused probably by the kernel) but even a full wipe using twrp I can't get any ROMs to load, and I was not thinking and didn't make a back up.
Download a ROM and verify the check sum then unzip and place the boot.img in your adb tools (or SDK depending on what you use) boot to boot loader and select fastboot (from PC terminal, sorry) type fastboot flash boot boot.img and then in recovery try to flash the ROM zip. Be sure to wipe dalvik, cache, factory reset and system first to avoid issues
---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------
I just noticed you said black screen, that most definitely is a kernel issue but its a ROM base mismatch, you just needed to fast boot the mean kernel most likely
I had this problem literally yesterday. All you need to do is flash the boot.img located in the unzipped folder of meanrom and then flash via fast boots via pc or mac. Wipe everything first and then flash the BOOT.IMG. THEN FLASH MEAN ROM and wipe cache etc.
Sent from my EVO on CM10
Yeah I read too quickly and missed the part about the black screen. I decided it was better to outline the whole process
ok i downloaded a new rom, verified md5sum, and unzipped the rom. i also downloaded eclipse and am linking eclipse and android sdk to try and make this a little easier, i hope. i feel like such a total noob, well for the most part i am.... i guess what i am saying is that i don;t know if i am removing boot.img from zip or if i'm just checking something on the boot.img using adb
You just need adb tools, you are making this a little harder then it needs to be

You have to flash boot.img, you do have a Nextbook 8 Ares? What stock files? Your device is stock, format data, cache, flash boot.img simple as that.
I just checked some of your posts, you been messing with your tablet, my method is to root stock tablet, unmodified tablet.
Your tablet was modified by yourself, so you need to undo what you already did.

If you posted the stock imgs in the OP no one would brick anything as we could just manually flash the imgs to the tablets when we mess up. I had to run my first phone like this. Just using adb and fastboot to run restores when I messed with too much. You should also add that formatting /data may lead to a brick.
I tried a factory reset, it didn't work so I let it(twrp) format data(not /system) . My tab will not boot. Just bootloops at the bootani.
I may not be a dev bro but I know what Im doing. Please don't hesitate to throw testing stuff at me.

Formatting data leads to disabling encryption, not flashing the boot.img I provided, leads to tablet bootlooping so you can continue to bootloop forever, or flash the boot.img your choice.
Sent from my BLU STUDIO 5.0 C using Tapatalk
Ok well thanx for rooting it and not answering any other questions. Why you wouldn't post them is beyond me or at the least link to them. For those who wiped system. No need to use their flashtool if you have the imgs. I have them anyway so its whatever.
You should probably fix the recovery or warn that its not even close to fully functional and only really works for flashing. Wipes don't work. Formatting anything bricks it. Im sure there is more too. It's your baby not mine. Im just trying to help you help people. I'll fix my tab fine myself. No thanx to you.
By the way I did flash the boot.img before I formatted. I dunno if that wasn't clear. And the tab still said encrypted. Also I wanted to do more than just flash the boot again. I wanted to reformat by flashing the imgs fresh. Im not exactly sure why you're being snotty but it's cool. I was trying to figure out how to push su binary thru shell but my system wasnt modified. The OP said to leave system alone. I did. I had issues anyway. I asked for more than a fix for BL. Hopefully at the least people will realize they can track down this model on nextbook.com and get the stock imgs and fix bricked tabs very easy. Also return to stock at will. Or rooted.

Snot.
By the way, flashing the boot img again did not unbrick my tablet. But what do you care, you just post half assed stuff and leave the noobs with bricked tabs.
So again I would suggest you get a hold of the stock img files and post instructions on how to flash them in the OP since you are basically responsible for over 10 bricked tabs at this point. Yeah sure I know it's all at our own risk, but you're not giving us all the tools we need, and that in my opinion means you need to take the entire post down or give us what we need to fix bricks you failed to warn us about.
Noobie Question
Hiya Vamp, I'm having a bit of a noobie problem here. In a nut-shell I can't get my fastboot tool to detect the tablet. However adb can detect it. After some quick research I found out I needed to write a udev rules file, which I did; I ran a lsusb command to get the hex id for the device. I also tried using sudo with no effect. My OS is Kubuntu 14.04 64bit, I have the 32bit libraries installed. I've never rooted a device before besides using "poot" on my old phone and I don’t even know if that really counts.
here is a quick copy of my /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules file:
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f2", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="8087", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"
Here is the output from adb devices:
Code:
List of devices attached
YFGV0415004049 device
The output from either sudo fastboot devices or fastboot devices is nothing, the terminal gives no errors or other kind of output; it simply displays a new prompt.
And this is the output from the lsusb command:
Code:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04f2:b008 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd USB 2.0 Camera
Bus 001 Device 013: ID 8087:0a5f Intel Corp.
Invoking the adb reboot bootloader command will reboot the device and it says "fastboot cmd waiting..." yet I still get the same output from the above commands, with or without using sudo. Anyway I'm at my wits end on this and hopefully you can point me in the right direction.

Awesome! You are a gentleman and a scholar good sir Yours is detecting it, and now I have it rooted and that silly encryption gone! Super easy when you use the right binary lol. Thanks for your help boss, I'm going to have allot of fun with this tablet thanks to you. How do you make your own custom tools? Do you code them in Java like most android apps? Or is it written in C? I'm still somewhat new to programming but my snake game should be bad ass on this tablet. Anyway thanks Vamp! :highfive:
As a side question: Does/did your tablet open apps and do other random things without any input when its plugged into a computer via usb cable? Mine just randomly went to the brightness setting for the display without me touching it, kinda strange, it was doing the same thing before root so I don’t think it's a problem with any data installed during the root process.
No, but there is a reported memory leak with lollipop 5, so some of us are using xposed with memory patch.

I just want to say for the record that I followed your directions perfectly and rooted my tablet and installed the recovery without a problem. Now I'm running an unencrypted stock rooted lollipop ROM with the latest TWRP recovery and honestly I couldn't ask for more! (Maybe CM12.1 if i'm being greedy). Thank you so much! I don't know what's wrong with everyone else. If anyone needs me to, I can upload a twrp backup or something. I'm more than willing to help in any way that I can. I basically consider myself a noob, and following your instructions was not a problem, I actually even used windows and it wasn't a problem at all.

Do the devices have fast boot. If so a oem unlock. Some one said metro and t mobiles where unlocked or unlockable
I'm no programming/root expert but in developer options you enable oem unlock.. then connected o the pc you type fastboot oem unlock from a command prompt.. the phone then says its unlocked .. that's as far as I went. Aso after that, when you boot the phone, it literally complains that it is missing security before it boots.

LG might have removed the ability to boot an image without flashing it like they did with the Stylo 2 plus, and I don't think there is a kdz available yet as I been looking for one every couple of days but haven't found one.

im waiting in the g4 threads to see if a few friends might be able to help us and u out if we can get a full device back up in fastboot then get it uploaded then there should be a command to reflash it through fastboot

Great I can still get to fastboot so if I could get an image, I could flash it.[/QUOTE]
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/one-help-fastboot-commands-t3623171
An existing fastboot does not mean that it support flashing custom recovery, check lg g6 threads to know what I'm talking about.
I want to purchase one of these from metro to use on my h20 account. If I flash a new rom will it get rid of that stupid unlock policy that makes you use the app after 90 days to unlock?
Anyone know if or when any updates even security patches will roll out for this device?

My bet is the situation is similar with G Stylo 2+.
Even with the latest 7.0 ROM, I still could flash TWRP and install SuperSU (not Magisk unfortunately).

Thats what it seems all the plus models eccept cricket. Seem to be rootable.
Ofcoarse no plus for me. Just the reg. So again just like g4 and many other devices i will not be able to get root
Here's the deal,
1. I was on resurrection remix 7.1 custom rom with TWSRP recovery installed.
2. Wanted to go back to stock huawei honor 5x OS so I downloaded it on the internet, since I live in Malaysia, I searched for "Huawei Honor 5x Stock Rom Malaysia Variant"
3. Flash the rom, got EMUI 2.0 instead of the written EMUI 3.1 on the file (the file name is KIW-L22_C636B130_Firmware_Android 5.1_EMUI 3.1_Malaysia.zip"
4. Flashed HONOR_5X_Firmware_KIW-L22_Android 6.0.1_EMUI 4.0.1_C675B360CUSTC675D002.zip that I got from huawei's website
5. Stuck in bootloop.
6. I went into TWRP recovery and tried to do something but I couldn't use the touchscreen for some odd reason
7. Went and browsed XDA for around 2 hours and found that I can install another recovery that uses the volume buttons and the power buttons to navigate, thus I installed a recovery called "carliwm touch recovery"
8. Was happy could finally do something, successfully flashed the recovery. Went and downloaded Lineage OS rom based on my mistakes that I've done and never want to go back to stock rom.
9. The recovery has an option to mount the external sd card (my sd card in my phone, dont know why it's called as such), so I did, I still couldn't navigate using the touchscreen as it's disfunctional still but can still navigate using volume and power buttons.
10. Wiped all data, flashed Lineage OS, flashed GAPPS.
11. Stuck in recovery for some reason, can't get into my phone. I've re-flashed it many times
For those who want to know my phone model, it's KIW-L22. When it had stock rom it was EMUI 4 something, can't remember as it's very vague. I think it was marshmallow
Please help
EDIT:
I use Huawei Update Extractor to get into the stock rom that had EMUI 2.0, extracted the System and Recovery images
Used this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoZQHTidnGA&t=629s ) to flash back to stock rom that had EMUI 2.0
The only way to get out of the recovery is to reboot the phone
In the bootloader, it says "PHONE Unlocked" and "FRP Unlock"
UPDATE:
I've tried to follow the video again and re-flashed the stock rom with EMUI 2.0 and it still doesn't work
I've wiped everything in the phone using the recovery (wiped data and factory reset), going to sleep as it's 4:37 AM
This is what happens when you dont read the guides that are posted all over this forum, we have seen it so many times I have lost count and also the inclination to help sort out the mess, I would never ever in my life download any firmware that wasn't posted on XDA or flash a phone without reading guides on here first as they usually not only give the correct information but usually point to the correct firmware.

Your touchscreen isn't working and your getting a bootloop because you probably have the wrong boot.image this is clealy the case as your touch screen isn't working, if you search through my guides for al10 which i cant be bothered to get the link for now one of them has a link to a twrp image of what i rhink is l22, anyway its a twrp image, you can flash that using twrp and it should restore your phone, good luck

huh nevermind, its censored, then do you have any idea how to flash the boot partition?
This will be my last instructions then the rest is down to you..
Download minimal adb and unzip it
Download Huawei extractor tool
Download stock update.apo for any honor 5x
Use huawei extractor and open update.app with it
Extract boot.img
Place e boot.img in minimal adb folder
Download hiapp from web
Install hiapp
Plug phone into computer in adb mode
Open adb command window
Type adb devices to check its there
Type fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then install twrp
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img "or whatever file name it is"
No fastboot reboot recovery
Now install lineage
Now hit the thanks button and write a guide on why guides are important

Probably not working because boot.img is messed up, you cant have flashed it right, you only option is to try flashing each partition with the extracted files and hope it works and if it doesnt return it to a service center, im out of ideas im afraid, i flashed my boot.img before and it worked when i had no touch screen, didnt you make a backup before you messed with the phone ? Could end up being a expensive mistake, maybe try other boot.img or ask someone on here with a l24 for a copy of their boot.img but without that your screwed as it cant load the touchscreen drivers.

I haven't found anything yet, but there is an official unlocker here. I think it only works for a certain model though, it didn't seem to do it for me. However they did release the source, and I'm in the process of getting set up to try and get TWRP to compile with it. Won't be able to do much with it if I can't unlock the bootloader, though
