I just bought a Nuu R1 Rugged Phone. It has Oreo 8.1.0 on it.
It is an "unlocked" phone. But I don't know if unlocked refers to the phone carrier or to the boot loader. (I'm thinking phone carrier.)
The last I rooted my tablets was Android 5, which required using a custom script that a dev here wrote that temporarily ran CW via fast boot.
I would like to root my R1. I hear now that Magisk is the way to go. (Instead of SU.)
Most every Guide says that I have to have TWRP installed before installing Magisk. But there's no TWRP for the R1. And I am incapable of compiling my own.
I learned, from Nuu Tech Support, that I can get into the phone's Recovery mode with some hidden button pushes. Here's a screen shot:
My first question is, could I simply install Magisk by selecting "Update from SD card"?
If it's not that easy, then, second: I can also get to a fastboot screen. (Not shown here.) Could I install Magisk from ADB on my computer?
I suppose a third question: Is there a version of TWRP that's compatible with this phone? And if so, how do I find it? It would be nice to have a Nandroid backup.
I am willing to show various screens that come up from various button pushes if that would help a dev here.
More data for TWRP'ing
So, I see that one needs an image of the OEM ROM to compile TWRP. I found two sites on the web that claim to have the ROM. (Before the R1 was officially released.) Sounds sketchy. Will try to get an image from Tech Support.
In the meantime, I found that the bootloader can be unlocked (or allowed to be unlocked) via a setting under Developer Options.
I contacted Nuu Mobile Support and they were kind to send me the MediaTek USB drivers for the R1.
It was a two step process to get the driver installed for ADB. But now I have access to the R1 via ADB.
I read here on the forums that I can boot TWRP via fastboot, and not risk ruining/corrupting the R1's Recovery Partition.
Anyone know of a TWRP model version that's close enough to work on the R1? (I presume a TWRP for another MediaTek device might work?)
I would hate to try KingRoot to get root.
I found a website called unofficialtwrp.com. It has a TWRP for the MediaTek 6739, running Oreo 8.1, with 16/2 GB. That's exactly what the Nuu Mobile R1 has.
So, hopeful that this would allow me to root my R1, I tried it. (Short version: Didn't work.)
I already had ADB installed and could talk to my R1 via ADB.
But once the R1 had booted into fastboot mode via ADB, I got a message from fastbood devices that it was "waiting."
I learned that that message means that I didn't have drivers for fastboot.
I ended up installing a fresh version of Win8.1 and using the Windows' updater to find the needed drivers. I had to have the R1 plugged in to the USB in fastboot mode for this to work. After that, I could talk to the device via the fastboot command.
So I unlocked the boot loader (which wiped my data - not every Guide warns you about that) and I did "fastboot boot recovery.img."
I got the message that the recovery file had transferred. After abotu 15 seconds, the phone rebooted. But no TWRP.
Rats.
I didn't want to try the fastboot flash command in case this unoffiical twrp from an unofficial site bricked my phone. If I understand things correctly, booting in fastboot to the recovery.img should give me a temporary instance of TWRP.
Presumably, after copying Magisk into memory, I would be able to get root that way.

Whoa you have been busy you must've heard XDA helps those who help themselves.. :highfive:
I just dropped by to say, 1st rule of modding is taking a pristine stock backup..
For MTK devices, there is a tool called SP Flash Tools, a quick search will help you take a full backup using this tool.
Afterward, you can even try using SP Flash Tools to flash a Magisk patched boot image to your device for ROOT!
Hope this helps!
Thanks. I did see SP Flash Tools mentioned and I did take a look at it. While I've rooted before, I'm trying to get my head around a Scatter File.
Everything I've read so far - well, almost everything - says that I need TWRP to get Magisk installed. But if you think it can be done via SP Flash Tools, I'll start playing with it.
Root nuu r1
Did u ever manage to figure out how to do this & get TWRP to install? :fingers-crossed:
No, I haven't had time to play with rooting lately. I still would like to root it tho.
Anyone know how to root the nuu phones?
someone has the boot.img i need the image
I will port TWRP for you in case you have stock recovery.img

Has anyone here rooted this tablet with Magisk?
Any very detailed step by step guide somewhere with links to the specific files to download for this tablet? (It'd be great if it didnt't require a PC but even if it does, I'd really appreciate a detailed step by step guide to put Magisk on this tablet)
Thanks

Hi there,
I wouldnt't use Magisk on your device as it might softbrick your drive
So use KINGOROOT.
THE STEPS ARE VERY EASY TO FOLLOW.

Why would Magisk be more risky than Kingoroot on this device? I liked the idea of Magisk because it is systemless root and it is easier to hide from some apps.
Can Kingoroot one click root apk even root a Teclast M16 running android 8?
For M16, there is no root at all yet. I look forward to it myself, but so far there is nothing ....

Hi there,
I tried Magisk on a chinese phone, and after flashing the software, the phone just went into black screen and soft-bricking the whole phone, the phone works in the background but the screen is black. And KINGOROOT will not flash anything into your device.

I can't seem to find anything on the net about rooting this tablet, it's weird too since it "only" has android 8, not the latest android versions. I sure hope Magisk or another root method is going to be developed soon because I'm really interested in that tablet model.

Hi there,
So i was researching more about this tablet, turns out you can root by installing a custom recovery (TWRP) and from there you can install SUPERSU to achieve root for your tablet. I am not sure if this method works, but if your able to get the stock firmware and the stock recovery and the software to flash the firmware i think you might as well go ahead using that method.
THIS IS THE ARTICLE I FOUND ONLINE :
https://www.getdroidtips.com/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-on-teclast-t30-and-root-it-easily/
*MAKE SURE YOU FIND OUT IF THIS TABLET HAS A TWRP RECOVERY BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE*
Thank you for looking into it, unfortunately that guide is for the Teclast T30 and the guy advises to only use it for that model. I don't own that tablet yet so I can't try any of the steps myself but I'm very interested in this particular model (16/9 ratio, hdmi out, dc charger in, etc...) so I was really hoping to find a tested working method to root it before I go ahead and purchase it.
i found this: https://www.getdroidtips.com/root-teclast-m16/
I rooted my Teclast M16 using Magisk. Simply unlocked the bootloader through adb/fastboot commands, then have magisk manager patch the boot image from firmware download and then flash it using adb/fastboot command line fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_boot.img reboot system and its rooted.
I haven't found a twrp recovery yet, but I'm thinking about trying my hand at building my own, despite being a noob.

Hi.
I tried to unlock the bootloader .
adb devices command shows the m16.
I send the command "adb reboot bootloader" - the device enter in bootloader.
next I send the command "fastboot devices" and I get this:

any help to make fast boot see the device?
Thank you

Hi, You bad comand when bootloader. When bootloader after comand: " fastboot oem unlock" , luck on skreen, push volume up, wait moment, after next comand:"fastboot reboot". After this command, the tablet will reset to factory settings with unlocked bootloader.
Hello everyone. I have TWRP for M16, everything is almost fine, after uploading it normally work on M16, except for touch not working, I did not check if it works with the mouse. Maybe someone will find it to correct it so that the touch works? I upload the file, it may be useful to someone. Regards RW

I just got one of these bad boys and i about rooted it and flashed an older models ROM before i realized i had the 2021 model
I imagine we will have to wait for stock firmware to show up before we can root

I have the xt2117-4 version of the moto g power 2021 and the following worked for me to get root Using Magisk.
There is only one issue I had and this was because of Magisk. Some apps have issue's using fingerprint if Magisk is not set correctly. I will add the setting to fix fingerprint on apps at end. As always try at your own risk.
if you have a pin or security code remove it as touch screen for me did not work so had to manually type in twrp adb commands to backup boot and not knowing how to add security codes to twrp adb backup fails.
You need to have unlocked your bootloader and usb drivers from Motorola and phone in usb debug mode in developer options.
Now plug in usb cable to computer and phone
On the PC
Install adb (plenty of info on this and other sites how to do this). Then get moto g play twrp recovery image #1 from
BuildBox
mirror.theogpanda.workers.dev
Put it into adb folder on PC and rename it recovery.img
Start phone in bootloader mode by using power and volume down button
Once phone is in bootloader mode on pc at command prompt in adb directory run
fastboot boot recovery.img
this side loads it and does not replace your recovery.
Once twrp is fully loaded on your phone on the pc at command prompt in adb directory run
adb shell twrp backup B
this will back up boot.emmc.win to twrp directory on your phone and can be seen using a file explorer. The twrp folder is at the same levels as photos, alarms, etc
After backup is completed, hold down power button until phone reboots. I cannot remember if it boots to the phone or bootloader, at this point we want to boot to phone and allow usb file transfer.
Now use windows file explorer and copy boot.emmc.win to the pc and rename it boot.img and then put it in the adb directory. Reboot phone to bootloader again and in command prompt in adb directory run.
fastboot boot boot.img
this sideloads it and makes sure it boots right.
Put the phone to usb transfer mode again then copy boot.img to the download folder of the phone and install Magisk following method 2 from this guide

Once rooted and finding a app that finger prints do not work on you can hide Magisk from the app. In Magisk manager click on shield at bottom. Click on magisk hide grey bar and select only apps not working as I heard putting in to many can cause issues (cannot verify but why try) Now programs should work with fingerprint.
Don't forget to keep original boot.img incase you have to restore it
If you loaded Magisk and are having problems with banking app look at this post and he has another setting in Magisk that you can change to fix this. It is under the heading "a note about mobile banking apps".

Rooting these phones is dead simple. If you boot into bootloader mode, you can find your device's codename. Look for your codename on the lolinet site, select your varient, and download your firmware. Be sure to share the codename here so links can be updated.
Then you unlock your bootloader, patch boot.img you got from the firmware archive with Magisk, and flash the patched image through fastboot.
Seen any Roms for this floating around?

Hello. I just got one of these on accident. Meant to get a G9 Power. Oh well. I will still love it. Having rooted countless phones and a great many Motos, I went to root mine without looking for instructions. I fastboot flashed the entire RETUS from lolinet, magisk patched and flashed the new kernel, and then booted to a phone without a working digitizer. Not only that, but when I flashed the original back on it, it didn't fix it. Still no digitizer. I then flashed the entire RETUS again, including the same kernel, and it fixed, but of course I had to set everything up again. I made a fastboot command list though, for flashing firmware from lolinet, if anyone could use it. It's on my computer though. I'll have to share it later. I just made this post to warn others of possible problems with a magisk-patched boot.img.
And also to thank @kbwojo . I've many times wished we could use twrp from a command line. Where did you learn that? Is there a manual?
Oh, BTW, the codename for xt2117-4 is borneo.

I did try a few things that didn't work. What I ended up doing was just flash boot the original boot.img and that basically reset magisk
Just giving an update and a thanks again to @kbwojo . I finally booted a patched kernel by patching a kernel extracted with twrp in the command line. All the kernels from lolinet caused me to lose touch support after patching, even if I was running the same version the kernel was from. But when I patched it after pulling the kernel with twrp, all is good. Whew. That was different.
Well i have done it. I have rooted my phone .

Just bought a G Power 2021 after thinking it was supported for custom roms already. It should just be arriving today and if i can't unlock the bootloader and root it I'm going to be returning it and getting the 2020, which I'm already considering even if i can be rooted.
Thank you

Just bought a G Power 2021 after thinking it was supported for custom roms already. It should just be arriving today and if i can't unlock the bootloader and root it I'm going to be returning it and getting the 2020, which I'm already considering even if i can be rooted.
Thank you

the 2021 can be rooted, that is what I use with root, and heavily modified UI. You can even change things so system is writable (but will need a computer with linux, or a VM to complete the process), after bootloader unlocked and rooted. But does not presently have any custom ROMs for the device, however some in this branch of the forums have cited they are working on one. If I had the time to, I'd tinker and try my hand at porting LineageOS, or similar fairly easy to port, since TWRP is mostly done or doable for 99% of these devices, there are some that still have touch issues, and that seems to be all digitizer and screen related like mentioned in this thread. As long as you restore yours from the Motorola software and grab your stock files, when they are restored, it has touch, you know you can always fix it back even if a test flash of TWRP has no touch. But then it is not that hard to build from those files the TWRP, even in Android Image Kitchen. I made mine have touch support the hackish way before the compiled way.
So it can absolutely be done, just play things smart with it is all keeping backups of vital files and so on so you have stock even with data loss as the worst that would happen from messing about.
Edit: You will need to keep the device online, wifi and cell data for at least a day if not two before bootloader unlock option in settings will usually permit being toggled on. I know in my experience I got mine on a Friday, and it was not till Sunday about mid-day that it popped, and I'd check it every few hours that I was awake otherwise in that time.

Thank you very much!
I'm perfectly happy with needing to make my own custom ROM. I've never done it, but I've been wanting to for quite some time. At least a few years.
The last 2 android phones I've been using couldn't even be rooted. Long story short, i bought a redmi 5, got it all setup great, then moved and the only service around my new area is Verizon so i sold that, bought a note 5, couldn't root it, bought a pinephone which i do love, but the battery life is really bad. So I've been using my note 5 that's close to a decade old so I'm just looking for a phone with root and a good battery life.
Look forward to getting mine rooted!
Quick question, hopefully doesn't derail too much. Wondering if there is any work being done on the XT2165-5 model? Can't seem to find anything on it?
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?

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.
Hi, I've just bought a Cubot P50, it's a Chinese brand and seems more than decent for the price, I've rooted it with Magisk and I want to install TWRP on it but can't find anything for that brand. Has anyone came across a TWRP that might work on it?

I have the same phone how did you root it ? If there a guide that is safe to use ? Thank you
Unlock the bootloader first, this step will factory reset your phone https://romprovider.com/unlock-bootloader-android/
On your PC:
1. Install Fastboot driver
2. Install MediaTek_Preloader_USB_VCOM_Drivers_Setup_Signed
3. Extract platform-tools
4. On your phone, Enable Developer Options, USB debugging and OEM Unlocking
5. Unlock bootloader (this step will factory reset your phone): Phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt on PC > fastboot devices > fastboot flashing unlock. Note this will cause the phone to show the "Orange State" warning on boot up. You can ignore this or remove it later.
(If device is unauthorised in ADB or Fastboot, go to Developer Options on phone, revoke USB debugging authorisation, disable then enable USB debugging. You should now get an authorisation confirmation dialogue when you try to connect with ADB/Fastboot. If not, type "adb kill-server", then "adb devices" or "adb start-server" in the command prompt).
6. Place boot.img on phone with USB file transfer (either from stock ROM, or read from phone using SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1924_Win) and patch it with Magisk v5.2. NO need to patch vbmeta.img
7. Transfer patched boot.img back to PC
8. Flash the patched boot.img to phone either with SP Flash Tool or Fastboot command in ADB (fastboot flash boot boot.img). Take care here, make sure it's the right image going to the right location and that ALL other files are de-selected, especially the preloader file, always de-select this when flashing any firmware unless you know what you're doing!
Phone is now rooted.

It is possible that in the future, developers may create custom ROMs and TWRP recoveries for the device, especially if it becomes popular among the Android community.
If a custom ROM and TWRP recovery becomes available for your device in the future, you will be able to flash it by following the instructions provided by the developer. Keep in mind that installing custom ROMs and recoveries comes with some risks, and it is important to backup your data and follow the instructions carefully to avoid damaging your device.
Good evening, can you tell me the correct procedure for how to Root the Cubot p50 smartphone? Thank you.

Just get the latest version and follow the instructions I posted.
Thanks for your work on the Cubot phone .Im a fan of them also. I found that twrp recovery 3.40 works on the Note 20/20Pro you just have to flash vbmeta BEFORE and AFTER you flash twrp to the device. Im also seeing separate websites claiming twrp 3.40 is also used with the Cubot P40 model. I dont see why it wouldnt work with the P50. Its worth a shot. Also theres alot more "familiars" with Mediatek phones like these in Hovatek forum. Since you already have information on how to root maybe consider starting your own P50 thread over there.

Hi, you will have, or should have, downloaded a zip file containing a recovery.img. The recovery.img is the file you need to flash. Then follow the instructions here:

BUT, you also need to flash a vbmeta file BEFORE and AFTER the recovery.img, and I'm still unsure which vbmeta file it is, as elimoviebuff hasn't replied to my question regarding that.

I get it, but I have to flash the .bin to remove the yellow/red state on boot. I don't know how to install the lk.bin file. If you can help me. Thank you.
Ah I see, you're rooting the phone first. Ok I've just checked my own notes on this, so, if you have edited the lk.img file as described in that Hovatek thread, then do as follows:
When flashing with SP Flash Tool, make sure the correct lk.img file is chosen as SP Flash Tool chooses lk-verified.img by default (click along to the right of the file list under "Location" and choose your edited lk.img file here).
OR, flash with ADB (fastboot flash lk lk.img).
Then install Magisk on your phone if you haven't already.
boot.img is for rooting the phone, lk.img is only to remove the orange state message and the 5 second delay when the phone boots, it does not actually remove it's orange state and is not needed for the phone to be rooted.
To un-root, you should just flash the original boot.img and lk-verified.img from the stock firmware ROM file.

Good morning. Thank you for the information given.
I wanted to ask: is it necessary or useful to install an antivirus on your smartphone now that it's been rooted? Thank you.
I haven't but that's just down to personal choice really. It's certainly useful if you like to try stuff from unknown sources, although personally I've rarely encountered viruses on Android. I'm not saying they don't exist though.
Have you successfully rooted your phone then? What about TWRP, have you tried that yet?
