Rooting by playing with OPPO update zip - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! I have an OPPO A5s Smartphone. It is running Android 8.1 Oreo which is quite outdated in today's standards. I have been trying to get root but OPPO wont let me unlock my bootloader and other rooting options wont just work. After Downloading a software update zip file, i extracted it and read updater-script where I saw that the script installs SuperSu on my device. Another file which runs after it removes the SuperSu and root is gone in my phone?. I am wondering if I can remove that piece of code to achieve root in my phone. Can I remove it?

[Q] Is there anyway to manually install superSu and binaries without flashing?

Hi, I am the owner of a HTC Desire 510 (64 bit EU version). The bootloader is unlocked but I cannot install a recovery as there are none for my phone that support the 64bit version. I wanted to ask if there was anyway to manually extract the SUPERSU zip file onto my phone without root access so I can gain root acess ? I am able to use fastboot and ADB if that changes anything. Thanks

z3V root and flash problem

So, here I'm stuck with the z3v after my 6plus sold to my uncle. Running E.44 and the root method seem not working, I already install the king root and can't replace with the superSu, keep saying "fail to update, reboot"... and trying to degrade firmware and the flash tool keep said "can't reconize device, check the driver....." Saw topic with instruction to kkng root temperary and "dual recovery" what's the dual recovery is it?
Is it possible that verizon will open bootloader for z3v??
install kingoroot and then recovery and then install prerooted firmware through recovery
no need to unlock boot loader... it's direct method

Follow my guide as worded. You've done the first step in rooting it with Kingroot. Now you need to use the dual recovery installer to install the custom Android recovery, TWRP. Then you flash my prerooted Lollipop.

How to root S6

I need help rooting my Samsung Galaxy S6
I have tried Kingo and it failed on both android and pc
My model number is M-G920F
My build number is MMB29K.G920FXXS5DQC1
My version is 6.0.1
CF Auto root might work but can't find info on that specific build. My preferred method is to install TWRP recovery and then use that to install SuperSU zip. This has to be done by PC using Odin. Plenty of guides around for it.
I'm trying to avoid manual rooting since I've never done it and don't want to brick my phone.
Unless theres any guides for my specific build
Does any SuperSU.zip work or do I need one specific for my build
Also I'm having trouble unlocking my boot loader.
There is no OEM unlock option on my phone.
Or any tutorials on how to do it

rooted device and OTA update

hey I have the redmi note 4 sd edition global stable , I wanna update to the latest V8.5.8.0 but my device is rooted and twrp is installed.. I tried by downloading from the updater but I got in the twrp recovery. when I root a device I know I can't get ota updates.. but I don't wanna lose my files photos etc... if I download the latest version with zip extension then I can get on the twrp recovery and flash it ? or I think there is way in the updater to flash a zip.. am I gonna lose files if I try any of these methods ? what about format ? do I need it?
Hi
I found myself in the very same situation, and despite a little bit of trial and error look at what finally helped me to update and regain root, I kept all my data and settings. No bugs so far!

Rooting Asus Zenfone 4 Z01KD/ZE554KL 7.1.1 - Unlocked, TWRP installed, can't root?

Hey I just picked up this phone and decided I would like to maximize it to its fullest potential, and root it as I have done with previous phones. This ones giving me a hard time, and I just can't seem to find the proper info for it.
I have unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP 3.1.1 and want to gain root access. I have followed several guides, used every possible one-click unsuccessfully, and tried installing SuperSU with TWRP. After I reboot, SuperSU is installed. I'll open it up and it tells me the binaries are occupied. I've tried downgrading and updating the binaries but I get errors. (I believe this is because it must be rooted first - of course.)
So I'm stuck unable to get any further. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it. Is this phone with this configuration unrootable? There must be a way if I have recovery right?
Asus Zenfone 4 Z01KD/ZE554KL
Android Nougat 7.1.1 - 14.1060.1708.63 (NOT 1708.70)
TWRP 3.1.1 installed
One thing I have not tried is using Magisk. When I try it, it stops because I already patched with SuperSU (even though it failed). I never backed up before I did it with SuperSU I really thought it would work.
I read of people doing it with Magisk after updating to Oreo. I want to give that a try but I can't OTA or flash from TWRP. All attempts result in error 7.
I can't find a stock recovery to flash to do the update either. Is there a way to undo this, OTA and repatch with Magisk? Even if I don't bother updating, I would like to find a stock image to flash so I can try patching with Magisk.
Stock rom recovery.img anywhere? Am I alone?
i dont own this device but i read this and it might apply to you. also did you flash the supersu uninstaller and them try magisk?
