Hello,
I am having issues like heating, battery draining and frame drops in almost all games I play on MiUi 12-PocoF1. I dont wanna root the device for some other kernel/OS.
I am thinking about downgrading from MIUI 12 to MIUI 10. I am new to this and got the following concerns:
1. Would downgrading brick my device? if so, any chance of getting it back to working ?
2. Would this affect the security features? I learnt that rooting compromises security and many apps dont run on such devices, specially payment apps.
3. By doing the downgrade, would I still get the google's security patch ? If not, how to get em?
4. Any suggestions regarding How to downgrade or choose any other OS?
My Target is: Downgrade/Upgrade to an OS that wont ruin the performance of my device while keeping security intact.
Please Help.
Thanks and Regards.

You don`t need to root devices to install custom OS
1. Would downgrading brick my device?

The answer is simple: you won`t be able to find MIUI 10 for your device. Also, you will have to unlock the bootloader to perform such things, just like for custom OS
if so, any chance of getting it back to working?

Wipe data, flash stock ROM

Magisk Hide + MagiskHide Props Config (module) + Universal SafetyNet Fix (module) (this even hides unlocked bootloader).
I have no probems at all.

Most-likely, but why would you need it anyway? Use microG

Unlock the bootloader
In case of MIUI:
Download fastboot stock ROM and unzip it
Go into fastboot mode
run flash_all.bat (if you want to relock the bootloader, and you usually don`t want to do this, run flash_all_lock.bat)
In case of custom ROM:
To find which suits you best: Google it, search XDA threads. Usually people choose one of these: Lineage, Havoc, Reserruction, Revolution
To flash: go to official website or search for official thread on XDA (preferred)
If I were you, I would switch to custom OS or clean existing ROM with root

microG is to be used for what ? updating security patches? and Which custom do you strongly suggest ? Also, after installing twrp and magisk,, my device would be finally rooted right ?
After installing Custom rom, can the twrp+magisk be uninstalled and bootlocker be locked again ?
I am sorry for asking such questions.. coz I am pretty sure once I start, I wont be stopping there, so trying to learn as much as possible.
Thanks a lot. You helped me a lot with your answers.

Every android comes with google services core preinstalled, and many apps use it. But google spies on you, unlike microG, which is open source alternative to it.

Installing Magical through recovery isn't recommended, but possible. Search for Magisk's docs on GitHub for instructions (I will help if you want)

You don't need root to install custom OS, just unlocked bootloader. Yes, after flashing you can lock bootloader, but you usually don't need to. With modules I listed above, my own phone doesn't know that the bootloader is unlocked.

Got it , I will be downloading all the stuff, multiple custom roms as well... just in case, ...and will ping you back here as soon as possible in case I get lost again.
Thanks again
I would also like to inform you about Google Service Core.
The one that Google gives you spies on you, but if you need Google Play Games you will have to use it.
An alternative to it is microG. It falsifies all data that isn't needed for work, but it doesn't include Google Play Store and Google Play Games. An alternative to Store is Aurora store or Yalp Store
Whatever you choose, find tutorial on XDA on how to install it. You will have to install one of these, because 90% of apps depend on them.
Note that many OSs have a version that comes with microG preinstalled (like microG's fork of LineageOS), so if you choose privacy over Google Play Games, you should choose it.

OK - this is probably a strange question, but I am coming face to face with MaaS360 soon with the company I work for. Basically any rooted phones are going to be cut off from corporate email. I understand that there may be ways around this, but I just don't have the energy to try and work around this.
So my question is - are there any ROMs that might be well suited to be un-rooted and still function correctly? I understand that there are going to be some apps that will no longer work, but I am trying to find one that doesn't have deeply embedded features that would depend on root. I also don't want to go completely stock - since I know that this may lock the bootloader.
I have been running Sophisticated, but I did like some of the 4.4-based ROMs like SlimKat, AOKP, and CM11. Would any of the 4.4 ROMs (non-touchwiz) be "unrootable"? And is this process reversible? Can I re-root later if needed? Can the bootloader remain unlocked while the ROM is not rooted?
Part of me thinks - just get an unlocked MotoX and stop all this flashing business...(blasphemy - I know!)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Thanks for the reply - but my question was actually about whether any 3rd party ROMs would function properly after removing root. Actually - is it even POSSIBLE to remove root from a 3rd party ROM (maybe something like N3BULA or a 4.4 ROM like Slim) in the first place? Would it just FC constantly because certain parts of the ROM don't function correctly without root access?
Thanks!

Well N3bula yes.. There are options in Settings that require root. No you could choose not to use some of those options but that is up to you. Yes it is possible to remove root.. In SU I believe there is an option to unroot your device..Check it out..

OK. I really don't want to go down the "stock" path and end up with a locked BL - that is why i am looking for alternatives!
Thanks again!
Now I am starting to think that the 4.4 ROMs out there may not be very well suited to the idea of "unrooting".
I have tried a couple of 4.4 ROMs like CM11 and AOKP in the last couple of days, and there seems to be a recurring theme - they all have the Superuser menus built into the settings. Will this be problematic?
I have seen that the SuperSU app does have an unroot option in the settings, but I have read conflicting reports of what this actually does. It sounds like it removes the app, but leaves the binaries behind, and this might be detected by the root detection features in the Maas360 app.

To root Huawei Mediapad T1 8.0 PRO LTE T1-821L
Build No: T1-821LV100R001C178B007 (I guess it should work on older builds too)
Use KingRoot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
or
http://www.kingroot.net/
Worked fine for me, purify app from the developer also installs automatically unfortunately.
Again your warranty may be void after rooting.

Bootloader unlocking can be officially done through registering on huawei's Chinese website (don't worry just choose english lang) and following "refomatting lock" guide: https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail
On custom recovery and ROM: no developer is working on that, as far as I know. I've started to research it but I have very limited experience on building custom recovery from source and I haven't found one developed to a similar device to port it.

A unlocked the bootloader but really was a waste of time if we hav no custom recovery and rom wish a never bought this tablet
Why? What to take into account when buying a tablet?
And is it anything one could mod with this model once one has it already at hand?
Rooted mine as well with KingRoot.
You can freeze Purify now since you are rooted.
You can install Xposed Framework as well, Any version before 2.6 is working fine.
KingRoot does its job well indeed! However there is a problem with applying
Super-Sume afterwards. It's strange, on other KK devices it went smoothly...

there is a thread on how to replace kingroot supersu or such. with each kingroot update they try to block the replacement
Ponder not exactly the case the latest KingRoot needs the latest Super-Sume.
After many trials only this pair works for me: KingRoot 4.8.1 with Super-Sume 9.1.3
Any other combination fails, it's strange, especially when with older KingRoot (4.8.1 as still it makes root) attempting the latest Super-Sume... (it fails)
However there's another problem, specifically for the MediaTab T1. After replacing with Super-Sume, indeed, SuperSU is working and kicking, but unfortunately JUST ONLY when you set the option GRANT as "Access -> Default policy" (in SuperSU). When you set PROMPT it fails as the system somehow prevents popping up messages (in this case: requests for user's approval to grant root for an application).
Has anybody any idea how to alleviate this?
People used to say there's some sort of ui overlay in this MediaTab. Probably it blocks third party apps' pop-ups... What to do, what to freeze?
Hey guys, I'm trying to purchase this item, but not able to find it anywhere even gethuawei.com. Is there a website tucked away somewhere that I can order this device?

Thanks for this thread and the links......I rooted my Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 LTE-821L last night using Kingroot only took 2 or 3 minutes very straight forward after a bit more forum reading I downloaded and installed Titanium backup....
T1-821L rooted with the latest Kingroot app. Very easy. Then i downloaded Super-Sume 6.0 APK File. Now i have SuperSU. No problems!
I would love to find a development tree for this phablet.
It is lacking:
1. Developers!!
2. Custom recovery (TWRP/CWM)
3. CPU Governor development
4. That sweet baby-jesus Custom Rom that hordes of nerds pray for! I would do it myself but i am linux disabled. Cyanogenmod nougat update would blow ppls minds but for now i would settle for stripped 4.4 android with cpu overclocking.
To Rom or not to Rom - Having my fingers crossed :fingers-crossed:
Breed no longer sell these. Anyone know someone else selling?

I know that you need root with adb too (someone correct me if im wrong).
You can disable or "uninstall" them by going to Settings > App > App which you want and click on disable/uninstall. But the apks will still be in phone, so they still use some internal memory.

If you want to completely remove bloatware apps from your device then you have to root your device and then use apps like lucky patcher or titanium backup for removing apps. Disabling the apps will not remove them so they are still consuming storage space. So disabling is not very useful.
Why do you refrain from rooting your device??

this is my first android smartphone, i have just jumped the ship from windows phone. Its too early for me to get into rooting and side loading custom ROMs ( its only been 1 week with the new device), though i know the procedure but i am satisfied with what the device has to offer. the only pain in the arse are the bloatwares which holds nearly 500mb of internal space.
also its sad we cant make sdcard as adoptable storage in j500f , otherwise it would have been awesome.
if you suggest rooting is there an app for j500f to be rooted by one click, chain fire bricked my device as the version was old , for the device. also i did root my device earlier but with twrp and supersu which is just too mcuh of work .
also what apps would be best to uninstall bloat wares completely? also can i get a list of bloatwares present in j500f? i need my android clean and free form samsung products. :fingers-crossed:

I understand since its a new phone you are reluctant to root it. But if you want to root it then you can root it with Systemless root flashable zip with the help of twrp. I know it is a lot of work but at present there is no app which can root MM in one click. So systemless root is the best option. If you want i can give you the link of the latest systemless root which will not at all brick your device as i have tested it myself.
No. of bloatware app depends on the country to which your rom belongs for example Indian rom has more bloatware apps as compared to other countries. Your's is of which country??After knowing this i will be able to make a list.

Stable Systemless root zip link -
https://plus.google.com/+LucaDAlba/posts/a4PyLqWARsv
Just download the zip file and flash it through twrp. After flashing the supersu app will appear in the app drawer. The supersu app should appear in the app drawer, if it does not it means something is wrong but most probably it should not happen if you do all the things correctly. If you have any doubt ask me.
Dear xda community, I'm trying to fix my mother's samsung J500FN (6.0.1) and would be willing to root it in order to gain more internal storage space and/or get rid of the bloatware .... A 64 gb micro sd xc is ready to go! I realize that TWRP and SuperSU are useful tools. Do I have to install both to get started? What else should I have installed beforehand? I'm asking because at the moment there's less than 500 mb available. Which custom rom would you recommend? Do I root first and install the rom later? Is there a step-by-step manual I could follow? A nice and easy, user friendly rom would be great as my mom is 75 but delighted to use social media to keep in touch with her family ...
Any help is greatly appreciated - thank you!

Firstable start downloading odin for your pc. Then flash twrp on your phone with odin.
Flash SuperSU with twrp and i would suggest not flashing custom roms but you can always try Cyanogen Rom.
And with root just install an app which can remove any app and there you go! Hope i helped you xD

I want to unlock my bootloader and root my 3 iii but I have read something about needing to back up and restore DRM keys otherweise some camera features and other stuff wont work anymore. Is that something that needs to be done on this phone and also, what exactly is the GSI stuff? It looks like that is an entire rom or something. Do we need to flash/install that? I am fine with the stock firmware. Im out of my element with this Sony stuff.

Hey, the "Starter Pack" is just another Name for the Google Zip which includes GSI and vbmeta. We are on ARM64 and GMS means GApps are included. Please read a bit about how Treble and GSIs are working and start from there. x86_64 btw. is the Dekstop Platform (Like Intel or AMD PCs). Basic knowledge
Don't want to make this an Info/Wiki Thread or so...

That Informations are old and obsolete. Hardware works just fine after unlocking (On all Xperias since 2019), DRMs can be restored like i wrote in the Guide. We are using OLED HDR Displays. So don't care about Bravia or such stuff. Only Netflix and Video Enhancements aside from the Creator Mode are not working if unlocked. But AOSP is here and ROMs are also coming based on SODP and AOSP (With Mainline Kernels (Or GKI)) Please also read about Treble and GSIs before You start! It's a thing since Android 8 on all Android Devices. So it will be good to know! GKIs are also coming to all Android Devices soon...
How can I convert Xperia 1 IIi Docomo SO-51b to Global version?
You can try to use another (EU/US) Firmware with NewFlasher but no warranty that it will work @nchmaster
You should check the Basebands compatibility before so make sure You're flashing a Firmware that works with Your Countries Bands.

No it isn't. That's why I am asking. I got my Xperia 1 iii a few weeks ago (before this tutorial) and did the exact same steps but without the GSI thing and everything works fine.

Perfect. I tried to ask that before and was just told to read up on GSI. That wasnt any real help to my question. lol I was looking it over and it looked like it was a really vanilla version of android more less for app developers so I was c onfused if it was in fact needed to simply root the phone.

I asked what it was exactly and do we need to install it for the root process. By the way, it is not needed for the rooting process. I have successfully rooted the phone so thank you for the tutorial.
Just a suggestion, you should maybe add that after you flash the edited boot image to A and B and you reboot the phone, you will have to reinstall Magisk just to save some possible confusion as its no longer installed from being wiped during the bootloader unlock process.

The "starter" pack is just another name for either gsi_gms_arm64-...zip or aosp_arm64-...zip. If you want Google apps then you choose gsi_gms_arm64-...zip, if you do not want Google apps then choose aosp_arm64-...zip. Both of these zip files contain only the system.img and vbmeta.img.

Sorry I guess I'm a bit new to this, the phone will still be running a version of the stock rom after this guide with an unlocked bootloader and magisk right?

GSI means General System Image. Systems are the Main OS You are using. Flash a GSI and it isn't Stock anymore... Don't replace the System If You want to keep Stock!
