I have this device rooted with magisk BUT cant find way to properly port a qualcomm twrp from similar devices i just need help to get started with custom recovery if i can get one to boot i might be able to fiqure out the rest if any "Bugs" are found thru out the custom recovery. any help would be appericated.
below is a stock image of recovery and boot if needed
both images were from a " .Tar " file. I then extracted the file and got the recovery and boot in " .img.lz4 " format and then i converted them to " .img " only for easy access to edit ETC.

Why not compile a matching TWRP by yourself?
Look inside here.
@ jwoegerbauer i can give a try but have no experiences when it comes to makin a custom recovery.

Yea, im also looking for a way to get some sort of custom recovery on the exact same device. My advice is (if you cant build your own version of twrp) to just wait for some devs to release something for it. The galaxy a11 is a very new device so we'll just have to wait it out.
Edit: So I followed a tutorial here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=40&v=MyxGZbCuxDQ&feature=emb_logo) and i created this (https://filebin.net/u3yww2cyajktm043). IT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK!!! USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!

You can put the device into download mode and unlock the bootloader from there...
I'm currently stuck on this device trying to get it to unlock the boot loader. I've ticked OEM unlock but when I get into download mode (adb reboot download) I'm not getting any option to unlock the boot loader there. I'm also not able to get into download mode with any key commands. Any ideas here?
I've heard you power off, then hold volume up and down when you plug in a data cable. Haven't tried it yet, I'm on the a115u t-mobile variant. I can get to what it calls download mode, which looks to be fastboot and NOT the standard samsung blue screen download mode. Just boot to recovery and select reboot to bootloader. I do not have oem unlock in my dev settings, but I'll see if I can fastboot oem unlock when I get back to my laptop.
flash sm-a115u1 version firmware first. gives you oem unlock option. obviously toggle on and adb debugging. power off the phone. hold both volume buttons and insert usb cable. it will look like the normal blue download warning screen but read it carefully. it says long press volume up to unlock bootloader. it works. it will go black. release volume up and next it will ask you to confirm. choose yes. it will reboot and erase. after skipping thru set up enable dev options again and you will see oem toggle greyed out with a caption "bootloader already unlocked". thats as far as ive gotten. because now im like "what now?" i need a custom recovery file to flash to the device. any help with that out there? so now that the bootloader is unlocked can i install magisk to root and if so after that how can i network unlock? any help would be greatly appreciated. also looking for any custom roms that are available for this a11(2020). seems like a decent phone.thanks.
Situation:
You can build your TWRP it's very easy. Or get compiled version from A10 and patch your system.
As result you'll get a bootloop.
Why?
Samsung had f****d you up and give you a SECURE BOOT that's not possible to remove by bootloader unlock. If you're install wrong signed recovery loader will said to you:
1st something is going wrong and signatures are mismatched, lete wipe your phone!
Ok. You jad solved that and not wiped your phone.
2nd hmm, signatures still mismatched I'll not boot and go in ***!
Result:
Untill someone will not break this Qualcomm Secure Boot you'll not able to install custom OS or TWRP or any other good stuff.
Is there any updates that can be flashed with stock recovery

What's a point? Unpack firmware's AP_ file, extract boot.img, patch it through magisk, and flash through odin. But where in that thread header did you found the install root?
I want to remind you that recovery is bot a root part. That's why root thread and TWRP threads are separated.

Ahh I see. Sorry then.
You shall do that way. Find current fiware for your device, download it through fine software.
A result you will get 5 files with .zip extension.
You need to unpack file with AP_ prefix, i suggest you to use 7zip for that stuff. From file you need took off the boot.img.
Then boot.img you shall pack into archive.tar,
When you've done, down load the Magisk apk from github and install on your phone. Move your jew archive to phone memory/diwnload folder and start the Magisk, make patching of kenel, as result you'll receive the magisk_patched.tar, copy that file to your pc and start the Odin, place that archive in AP slot and flash it.
PROFIT!
But I want to warn you in android 10 and up there root and kernel system are different, now system is booting from super.img, and partition /,/system and etc are RO, so through the root you'll not able to change anything in system it would be wiped on next system restart.

This is for real, folks. The first working custom recovery for Asus ZenPad 8.0 Z380M and a method to flash it under a locked bootloader. This took quite a bit of work to make, partly due to having to find a way to bypass the locked bootloader. And because of a kernel configuration issue that limited the size of the initial ramdisk, which took some serious effort to weed out. @lss1977 helped to port it to this device. And of course, credits to TeamWin for TWRP.
In addition to this thread, the current Z300M/Z301M TWRP thread and the the old Z300M recovery/rooting thread may be helpful. These models share the same hardware and software base, so most things that apply to one tablet also apply to the other.
DISCLAIMER
As usual, you do anything described in this post at your own risk. No one but you is responsible for any data loss, bricking or damage of your device.
REQUIREMENTS
Windows PC
SP Flash Tool version 5.1532 (only this version will bypass security checks)*
MediaTek VCOM drivers (available through Windows Update)
Z380M scatter file, attached
Recovery image, attached
Z380M preloader file (optional), available inside the stock firmware download
ZenPad Z380M tablet upgraded to Android N
* If you prefer to use a more recent SP Flash Tool, check out the special image file below.
This won't be a guide on how to use SP Flash Tool. There are plenty of good guides out there like this one on how to set up drivers, load scatter files, flash and make backups with SP Flash Tool. If you're not familiar with this software or how to flash MediaTek devices in general, please do your research before attempting this. I will just get straight to the specifics about the ZenPad 8.
FIRST TIME INSTALLATION
For a locked bootloader:
At this point you should have your tablet powered off, the drivers installed, all of your data backed up, and SP Flash Tool v5.1532's Download tab open and loaded with the tablet's scatter file. Open the download agent file DA_PL.bin, replacing the default MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin. (You can use the AllInOne DA if you want, but the procedure involves extra steps as described below.) Load the extracted TWRP recovery image (twrp-3.2.1-0-z380m.img) under the recovery partition line in the partition table. Click the Download button inside SPFT. Now just connect the USB cable to your tablet and your computer's USB port. It should start the download process automatically and disconnect when finished.
Alternative Method:
If you're using MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin, you have to hold the Volume Up key as you insert the cable, which puts the device into an emergency download mode. In addition, you will need to have the stock preloader*.bin file loaded inside SPFT for it to be able to communicate with your tablet. The preloader is available inside the official zip file download. Do not flash the preloader (untick the box) or any partitions other than recovery. You just need to have a valid bin file selected under the Preloader line.
For an unlocked bootloader:
If you have used the Asus unlock tool to unlock your device, you will still not be able to use fastboot flash to install a custom recovery. However, you can do a "hot boot" or a tethered boot of TWRP. This method doesn't require SP Flash Tool. Download the TWRP image, put your tablet in fastboot mode and connect to PC. Then run this command to boot TWRP dynamically:
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-z380m.img
Once inside TWRP, flash twrp-3.2.1-0-z380m.img to Recovery using Install -> Install Image. Then reboot to recovery. You may be able to use TWRP in the tethered boot mode, but that could result in glitches due to different parameters passed by the bootloader to the kernel. That's why flashing is recommended.
To update from your installed TWRP version to a new one, just transfer the image to your tablet, then boot to TWRP and install it by going to Install -> Install Image and flashing to Recovery.
START RECOVERY
With the tablet powered off, hold the Volume Up and Power keys together until you get to a menu where you can select "recovery". Use Vol. Up to scroll and Vol. Dn to select. If you have a locked bootloader, it will show a Yellow State message because the recovery is not signed by the OEM. Just press volume up to boot it. On the welcome screen of TWRP it will ask you about modifying the system partition, I suggest you go with Keep System Read-only. Doing otherwise will complicate your OTA updates.
WARNING: Never start the stock recovery from the bootloader menu on this device. It is programmed by the bootloader to instantly wipe your data without any warning. Also, be aware that Android installs the stock recovery at every normal boot cycle. So you either have to flash the TWRP every time you want to run it, or disable the automatic recovery installation in the stock firmware. Any kind of mod to the boot image will prevent the automatic recovery installation. If you're not sure which recovery you have installed, you can always do a 'adb reboot recovery' from Android without risk of data loss.
What works: Basically everything... access to major partitions, decrypted userdata partition, decrypted adoptable storage, external SD card, ADB, USB-OTG, touch interface, splash screen, installing stock Asus OTA/web FW updates
What doesn't work: (no known problems yet, but please report any)
Not guaranteed to work: factory reset
DOWNLOAD
(Updated February 3, 2018: updated kernel to firmware 5.3.18; up-to-date TWRP 3.2.1 sources)
SP Flash Tool v5.1532
Z380M Scatter file for all storage sizes (right click, Save link as...)
Recovery image
Signed image for Flash Tool only -- may be flashed with recent SP Flash Tool versions -- DO NOT INSTALL USING ANY OTHER METHOD -- tested with SPFT 5.1736.
Development and experimental files
Source code
P.S. The thanks button doesn't bite.
Nice one now lets get some custom roms done.
Has anyone installed this yet? I see the file has been downloaded a few times. Any feedback is welcome.
If you want the recovery to stick after reboot either rename or remove system/bin/install_recovery.sh.

The way I did it was to edit the init.rc file inside the boot ramdisk and comment out the service block that calls install_recovery.sh. I used the MTK boot image unpack/repack tools. I don't know, it seems like changing anything on the system partition will break OTA updates because of dm-verity. Because that depends on verifying each block of the file system. I have never even mounted the system as R/W in recovery.
how to create scater file from text posted? I copied all text to MT8163_Android_scatter.txt file but when open with splash tools give error "scatter file is invalid"
please atach your working scatter file to other atachments

OK, I added the scatter file as a download. It was a pain in the ass to copy & paste. (But it did work.)
Problem fixed downloaded new version of flashtool 5.16 and scatter working
Ok I installed TWRP on Z380M P00A, and wanna say to other
1. Use VCOM drivers only from splash tool official site
2. To install VCOM drivers first need enter chinese recovery tablet, then in windows device manager you see USB device, install manualy drivers (don forget in windows disable driver signature)
3. Use only SP-Flash-Tool-v5.1532.00, newer or older version not properly working with this phone
Ok, thanks for the update, PxYra. Just to let you know, there are signed versions of VCOM drivers floating around so you don't need to mess with signature enforcement. Here's one: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424943663. They are also updated by Windows so you can just let Windows Update install them.
Thanks for your work.
Flashing procedure works only with "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin" method for me. But this is OK!

is it possible to get the older versions? I need Android 6.x, because of xposed-Framework for my Zenpad 8.0 Z380M.
Greets Freisei
Hey freisei...
I never posted a version for Android 6. There was just one based on the 5.3.6 kernel, practically the same as the current one. That's why I didn't keep it. I could try to build one for you if you want, but I can't test it of course. Does this recovery not boot at all on the old firmware?
It's strange that the DA_PL.bin method didn't work for you. What happened when you tried it? I suppose the old preloader doesn't allow it(?).
hello guys, you think lineage os official version for asus z380kl (p024) will work on our z380m ?

Your ZenPad didn't brick because you deleted install_recovery.sh. It's because you modified the system partition. Making any mods to system is bad advice unless you know exactly what you're doing. Even mounting it in r/w mode can break it. That's because dm-verity has tripped and is blocking access to changed blocks of the file system. So you have 3 options: mod your boot image fstab file to disable dm-verity, restore the original system image block-for-block (either from backup or official firmware converted to an img file), or wipe userdata (lss reported that to work).

Ok. I made some real s*it, I think I deleted every partition except recovery. Can you provide me a twrp backup or some way around my problem?
What do you mean you deleted every partition except recovery? There's like 28 partitions. You would have to work hard to accomplish that.
My first suggestion is to extract a system.img from the Asus stock firmware zip using this. Then flash it with SP Flash Tool. You might also try to install a full firmware zip from TWRP. Although I have no idea if that will work or if it's even safe to try.

i was able to extract system.new.dat from stock firmware zip, but it extracts to a system folder. How do I flash this through sp flash tool?
OK, the system folder you don't need. It should have produced a system.img file also. That's the file you need to flash. Just select it for the system partition row in the partition list and then Download. Hopefully that will be enough.
EDIT: I just looked at the script, and realized the system.img.img file gets deleted in the process. So what you need to do is start the extraction, then after it makes system.img.img, when it starts extracting individual files, hit Ctrl+C. Then you'll end up with the img file.
Thank you very much! it works! YOU are the BEST!
please tell me, in your scatter file, address partition_name: frp (0x80a5000) is correct? if i format this partition (frp), google account remove?
Hi! I was trying to root Nokia 1
I flash TWRP through fastboot and it worked! But the problem was I was unable to see my files there.I think because of encryption..
So, I accidentally factory reset my phone through TWRP and then, I was unable to boot into system again..
I was stuck in TWRP
So, I go to fastboot and flash stock_recovery.IMG and after that when I reboot. I am seeing a black screen. I can feel vibration when press home key or home + volume up/down. but screen is black
Please help...

Use micro SD card for twrp. You can't remove encryption just by factory reset. I know how to remove encryption on Nougat but that method doesn't work on Oreo. When you flashed TWRP flash SuperSU (not Magisk) then boot to system, after that boot to twrp recovery again and wipe factory reset and wipe internal storage. You have removed encryption. SuperSU needs to be updated to patch plat and non play file contexts to remove encryption on Oreo. Or someone can make flashable zip to remove encryption.
First find nb0 file for Nokia 1 and try to flash rom with OST.

Same here. Seems that the decryption does not work. Better make sure your phone is not encrypted before messing with twrp (3.2.3).
Be careful
Some Nokia 1 are a TA 1060 variant number and if you flash the wrong file you are going to have further problems.
The process to root and get TWRP on the nokias Is complicated enough without everyone suggesting wrong model variants / numbers.
I guarantee someone will download the wrong file for the wrong model and come here crying.
is this the real firmware?

Update yourbphone to latest v14
Is there any way to relock the phone just through fastboot? After installing an OTA update, the partitions should match the vbmeta partition, right? So could just relock the bootloader using fastboot flashing lock or would the phone not start then?

Your device will go in to boot img corrupt after that.......
PLEASE NOTE: This isnt working if you are on a custom rom! My Bootloader ist broken and locked and I have to figure out how to fix this ****.
Hello Pankspoo.
I reset my Nord 2 again with an A11 image.
Now I wanted to lock the bootloader again. I have implemented your instructions one to one.
After that, the Nord 2 will boot normally and start.
But in the developer options I can still unlock the bootloader. So the option is not greyed out. The OTA cannot be installed but does not lead to a bootloop either.
I used the appropriate boot.img recovery & vbmeta.img.
Do you have any idea?
Best regards

Check YASNAC app from play store if it's showing safety net check passed your locked.
While installation of OTA what's errors u r getting.
After locking OEM unlock not grates off actually now it's available to unlock again with switchable tab
Sorry for crossposting a lot today, but I am really stuck and it seems that this may be the tool I need. I am on A15, cannot lock bootloader and cannot update.
So, to be sure, for this to work I need the boot.img, recovery.img and vbmeta.img for A15 stock rom? If yes, where can I get those files?
I found the files! Thank you for this guide! It worked perfectly. I really thought my phone was completely bricked. Coming from a Pixel, the root/restore process on this thing is a complete nightmare!!

Hi, I have a question. I have an unlocked bootloader, if I have my mobile service serviced and I have the original rom reinstalled there will the botloader be locked?

Definitely, no doubt about that. But the rooting-proces after that is easy and well described here. Don't forget to FIRST take you OTA's, that makes things easier!

I want to lock the botloader, I don't want root anymore. I just need to be sure that if I service the phone for reinstallation to the original firmware, then the bootloader will be locked. Will be? thank you for answer
No worries, it'll be locked after a factory flash!

This happened to me. It turns out that I had version A10 and flashed the A12stock_boot.img and when rebooting I had no wifi. I had no twrp either, since I had just flashed the stock recovery too.
So, I figured "did this actually updated to A12?" I checked the build version on the settings and no, it did not. So maybe thats the reason the system gets confused and some functions (I only noticed wifi) don't work properly.
Anyway, this is how I solved it:
1) restored my A10 version (flashing the file I got from a link on this post)
2) rebooting to A10, I did have wifi. I tried to update to A19 through Software Updater, but even though it did download the update.zip, it failed to update ("didn't pass the verification"). So, I:
3) flashed TWRP again, rebooted into it and installed the update.zip file (in data/ota_package/) that had just been downloaded by Software Updater.
4) Rebooted.
5) Fastboot flashing lock
6) Rebooted again. Congrats, its a brand new phone!!
P.S. Don't forget to lock the OEM unlocking option in Settings.

If u gets wifi issue just flash boot image of OOS version u r using via fastboot
Hello Everyone,
hopefully this is the right section for my question. If not please let me know.
I got a t865 with android 12 and want to root it. So i use the helping guide from Magisk (https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-system-as-root).
What i did:
1) Unlocking the Bootloader (The OEM is grayed out) and i get a message every boot their is a open bootloader
2) Download with frijya the last stock image
3) Transfer it to the tablet
4) Download magisk and patching the file with recovery boot (no ramdisk)
5) Adb pull back to the laptop
6) Reboot to download mode and patch the magisk ap and the bl, cp and csc
And after the flashing, i cannot reboot to into the recovery. Everytime i get the info about the open bootloader and than the message: The tablet is not running samsung official software. ... (You can see the error on the image)
I can get back to the download mode and flashing the orignal stock image and be back were i started, but without rooting.
Can someone tell me how i can fix it?
Thx a lot in advanced

hi, don't worry about rebooting into recovery to wipe, if you did a clean install that's not the problem. i think the problem is the file patched with magisk. try to patch a new one leaving the flag on ramdisk and try the flash again
Thank you for your answer. You mean the check of the “Recovery Mode Option“ when I patch the file with magisk?

Thank you very much. It worked perfectly with leaving the flag on ramdisk. Just a little change, but it saved my day. Thanks.
So uhm first time posting in XDA, and also first time rooting a phone in my life...
Anyways apparently twrp doesn't have an official custom recovery for the J6... and despite searching for the J600G (specificaly: J600GDXSACVB1), I was unable to find any proper website for my model (ive heard I need the exact file for my exact model)... maybe you guys know any twrp custom recovery for it....
And after that... some are saying just flash magisk, some are saying I need to disable VaultKeeper to really unlock Bootloader to then root the device... so I am getting confused
If anyone can help that'll be great!
Phone Info:
Android Version: 10
Baseband Version: J600GDXSACVB1
Knox version: Knox 3.5 (idk if this is needed)
"OEM Unlocking" option in developer setting is enabled
"USB Debugging" is also enabled

TWRP =/= root. Root means you have SU access in Android system. Recovery mode is a separate environment; the difference between TWRP and stock recovery is that TWRP allows you to flash unsigned images.
If you just want to root your phone with Magisk, you can follow these instructions.
Otherwise, if you want to be able to flash custom ROMs, you can use this to patch your stock recovery to enable Fastbootd which will allow you to flash partitions directly instead of using Odin.

Yes, see the Magisk instructions I linked. Samsung likes to make things complicated, so when you've unlocked the bootloader, it still won't let you flash custom images until Vaultkeeper has been disabled.
Hmm ok thanks.. I saw the Magisk installation help page and I am getting stuck in this part:
Allow bootloader unlocking in Developer options → OEM unlocking
Reboot to download mode: power off your device and press the download mode key combo for your device
Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot.

I am long pressing volume up button in download mode however nothing is happening...
(Edit) Oh and KG State (which I assume is another word for RMM Lock) is just showing 'checking' and not 'prenormal' or anything...
I think TWRP may be the cause of the bootloop. I flashed a stock firmware of J600G to completely reset it (factory reset of sorts) and then flashed TWRP, and entered the recovery screen. After that the bootlooping issue started... is there any other good custom recoveries?
Hi TUD, fellow J600G user here, I'd recommend you to start off easy by installing TWRP 3.2.3.
Requirements -
Odin installed on your computer.
USB cable
TWRP tar file
To install TWRP -
1. Switch your phone off and hold volume up and down buttons at the same time while connecting your phone to the computer by cable.
2. Open Odin and go to options, switch off auto reboot, now click on AP and select your TWRP tar file.
3. Now after Odin says PASS disconnect the cable from your phone and hold Volume down + power button for 7 seconds and as soon as the screen goes black hold Volume up + power button. This will boot you into your newly installed TWRP.
When it comes to custom roms J6 has some limitations for a few good ones. In my opinion you can install EvolutionX 4.0 (made by @adi_ss) that is based on android 10 as its the easiest rom to install. All you have to do is follow the instructions given by the developer.
Happy Flashing.
