Hey so i need literally any way to root this tablet, ive been able to unlock the bootloader (easiest bootloader on the planet) but havent been able to find a compatable twrp.
i just need a custom recovery that will work or p much any root ideas, i would consider a full custom firmware as well.
i considered compiling a twrp but i dont know how i would get the source files for it...

how did you unlock bootloader and did you ever figure out how to root it? going through same thing now.
Kind of an old thread and old device now, but I own one myself (branded Packard Bell) and just figured this all out, so here goes:
Root
This one is really easy now thanks to a MediaTek flaw. Just go to https://github.com/JunioJsv/mtk-easy-su, download the latest release, install the APK on the device, and run it by opening the app and pressing the button in the lower-right corner (still works on this since the latest security patch level AFAIK is from 2017). Note that this gives root temporarily, so you will need to run it again after reboot if you want root again.
Bootloader Unlock
When Kenvarus said "easiest bootloader on the planet", I took a guess at the method and it worked:
Back up any important data on your tablet, as this will factory reset it.
Install ADB and Fastboot on your computer if they are not installed, including drivers. For Fastboot (as that can be tricky sometimes), it "just worked" for me and I think Windows used an Amazon driver I had installed for my KF2. YMMV.
If you haven't already, enable Development Settings by going to Settings->About tablet and tapping the build number 7 times.
Go to Settings->Developer options (switch them on if they're off) and enable the "OEM unlocking" toggle.
In the same menu, enable "USB debugging" if it is not enabled already.
Connect the tablet to your computer, confirming the authorization prompt that pops up if it wasn't connected before. Check whether the connection is good with the "adb devices" command if needed.
Run the command "adb reboot bootloader", this gave me a blank screen.
Use the "fastboot devices" command to make sure the Fastboot connection works.
Run the command "fastboot oem unlock".
Press Volume Up when the text-mode confirmation screen pops up on the tablet.
Once the unlock procedure is complete, reset the tablet. You should see text on your bootscreen saying "Orange State" and a factory reset on the first reboot if it worked.
WARNING: I highly recommend charging your battery to be at least 10-20% filled before doing this. I stupidly did this at 1% battery thinking "it's plugged in anyway" and had quite the time rebooting after unlocking the bootloader (I thought it was bricked for a good hour or so, only after walking away for 20 minutes to eat dinner did I see that the battery was now at 20% and I could boot the tablet).
After unlocking the bootloader and temp-rooting it with the above app, I was able to use Magisk to patch the boot image (using dd to shuttle the files to and from /dev/block/mmcblk0p10, use "strings saved_boot_partition_name|head -n1" and check for "ANDROID!" to make sure it's the right partition) and I now have persistent root after all these years (note that Direct Install in Magisk doesn't work here). I'd definitely be interested in a custom recovery and/or ROMs for this device, but I'm not holding my breath (I'd take a crack at it if I knew better how to do it, but I have near-zero experience with ROM development and so far have only recompiled existing ROMs for a few phones).
As the 22nd is the last day to unlock the bootloader I wanted to unlock mine but all the guides seem to be for honour 9 lite and not the normal one.
Any guides people could please link. Thanks

1. go to https://emui.huawei.com/ and log in with your HUAWEI ID
2. go to UNLOCK page and get your unlock key.
3. In settings of your phone search for HDB and enable that option.
4. go to settings > system > about phone and click few times on compilation number to enable programmer settings.
5. go back to settings > system > programmer settings and enable USB debugging and unlock OEM
6. download HiSuite, connect your phone and make Backup of everything that you need (unlocking bootloader wipes everything on your internal storage)
7. If you cant connect your device, try to do this https://ph.answers.acer.com/app/ans...windows-10:-disable-signed-driver-enforcement
8. download this zip and extract on your desktop. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1A0z2K1BjTzntPJe-1CqqUYv-NnXWi5vD
9. inside the folder hold SHIFT and press right click and click open power shell here.
10. type .\adb devices
11. type .\adb reboot bootloader
12. type .\fastboot oem unlock [your unlock key]
13. Press volume + on your phone to select YES and than power button to confirm.
14. Now your bootloader is unlocked and your phone will do the factory reset. Enjoy.

Nah bruh, I think you messed up. 22 marked the 60th day that bootloader codes would be given. I'm having major trouble to get my code. I think I'm going to give a shot to HCU-Client or DC unlocker. The only thing that sucks is that it is a paid service. And it seems sketchy as hell. Anyways maybe I'll inform the forums If I succeed. But to recap, Huawei isn't going to provide you a code as it seems. Maybe they'll start again. I heard XDA is in the talks with Huawei to persuade them to restart the procedure.
As in the title, I have an, Alcatel Tcl Lx A502dl, Android phone, originally purchased from Walmart with a Trackfone Sim card (Now there is no sim card insterted).
I have spent all day, up until now, figuring out how to link abd and fastboot to the phone using USB debugging, and I have been successful this far. I had downloaded latest "platform-tools_r29.0.1-windows" from here on XDA, and I downloaded latest "fatsboot" from "HighonAndroid.com", for a quicker experience, without wasting time and effort on Java downloads. In addition to all this, I let the computer search the network for updating driver software, for my Alcatel phone. I also downloaded "UniversalAdbDriverSetup", from the former link, @highonandroid.com.
I linked both file pathways for corresponding "Fastboot", and "platform-tools", into the environment variables, under the term: "Path", yes, using a ";" with no spaces to add the new pathways.
I had success linking my phone onto the "abd" program, the phone is listed under "abd devices" command. I could not seem to get a listing of my phone serial number, under the "fastboot devices" command?
I have tried to get "platform-tools" to put the phone into "fastboot/bootloader" mode, but the phone simply reboots, back to the lockscreen. I have also tried on "Fastboot", to "fastboot reboot bootloader", and my Alcatel again reboots to the lockscreen. All the while, I activated the OEM unlocking switch/setting in the "developer options" of my phone, from the beginning, before I ever gave any commands?
Why won't my Alcatel phone reboot into the "fastboot/bootloader" screen, where I could command "fastboot oem unlock"? Why does my phone respond to both programs, yet still she loads the lockscreen?
I am new to all this, not really a tech savvy individual, just wanted a liberated operating system for my line of work...
I need bootloader unlocked in order to root my device via computer, correct?
I can not check to see if my bootloader is unlocked, not by abd tools, or by numerical code in my "dialer app". The app crashes, and any time I attempt the "fastboot oem device-info" command, no device is listed, only a <looking for a device> prompt of sorts appears. I have been told this may be because, the drivers were not installed properly, or the device was not properly connected under some other issue, and I can try to fix this error by reinstalling drivers... what would the issue be?
I need help, and I would appreciate some guidance on rooting my Android, as there are not any threads in the forum, on this model of Alcatel, that I am aware of?
I am doing all of this on a Windows 7 computer, in a Library, just so you all know. I ask for administrative approval for most things.
Thank you.

I can't possibly express how much I would love for you to elaborate on the 'use init.d for always root' part. Anyone else who knows, please jump in. Start by pretending I am an idiot. Then stop pretending and explain it to me as if I were an adult who needs a full-time minder. First one to help me achieve "always root" on this terrible, wretched, little excuse for an electronic device gets my undying gratitude and um, maybe some Google Play money? I am open to ideas here on that score. To reiterate, need help rooting my Tracfone TCL LX A502DL that has a castrated recovery (seriously, you can't flash anything from adb, the option is flat-out missing) and apparently no fastboot access AT ALL. I could do another seriously in parentheses, but you need to take my word for it w/o a bunch of examples. The bright spot is the vulnerability the device has to the mtk-su exploit. Get a # in like no time at all. Time elapsed from executing the file to getting the prompt is too short for my flesh computer to register (unless you -v, then about 1.5 seconds.) So how do I turn a root prompt into full root?

Thank you, H

So did he earn that Google Play Store money or was he just full of it?
Just bumping this thread in case anyone has ideas for me. Seems like Alcatel has bootloader mode hidden on some phones. Here's my story: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=81780645#post81780645
BTW - I am using mtk-su and have root and Magisk via init.d scripts, but still can't touch /system or flash recovery because of
Code:
/dev/block/dm-0' is read-only
which won't change unti bl unlocked...
I never did get her to root. Alas she is a broken phone now RIP. Sorry for the disappointments. But I move on more hopeful. ?
As posted by Viva La Android in another thread about the tcl a501dl:
The TCL A1 (A501DL) cannot be bootloader unlocked. Although the OEM Unlocking option can be enabled in the Developer Options menu, fastboot mode has been made inaccessible by TCL. Because the bootloader cannot be unlocked, it simply is not possible to flash a custom recovery or a patched boot image for systemless root support. System-wide root is not possible due to TCL's secure boot chain configuration and dm-verity. Until an exploit is found to bootloader unlock this device, rooting is not possible.

unlock bootloader and root with https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
This device cannot be rooted. To date, there has not been a single validated claim of a rooted TCL A509DL. The bootloader cannot be unlocked, preventing root, custom ROM installs,etc.
UPDATE: After hearing from some members regarding the Hydra Tool, and doing a little bit of research on the method, it appears that I was completely wrong on my.statement. Members here on XDA as well as Hovatek have confirmed that the A509DL bootloader can indeed be exploited with the Hydra Tool method, opening the door to systemless root with Magisk. Thanks guys for the info and guidance. I have one of these devices and look forward to unlocking & rooting soon. Thanks @PrivyetCyka for the info.
Yes it can .. it was extremely easy to do so also..i have a rooted one in my hand as we speak the only issue is I was stupid and tried to flash the magisk zip in twrp and it set off secureboot so in working on fixing that .. but .. if you just use MTKClient you can pull the entire firmware , magisk patch then reflash the boot.img using the same tool and you can even install twrp I have the entire firmware , twrp, and magisk patched boot imgs for the device saved ,. If someone knows how to disable secureboot I would really appreciate it

I sure would like to give it a whirl, but I haven't had that phone in over a year
Anyway, I decided to stop buying devices made deliberately less functional by their manufacturers.

I stand corrected on my statement. I was incorrect. Out of curiosity, does the Hydra tool require the dongle in order to unlock the bootloader?
@PrivyetCyka send me the Magisk packed boot image and I will unpack it and disable secure boot. I can then pack it back up and link it to you. Are you referring to only secure boot or also AVB 2.0/dm-verity?
I didn't use hydra tool I used MTKClient from GitHub and did an entire system read back to have a backup then just renamed boot.bin to boot.img used magisk to patch it and then used the same MTKClient tool to reflash it... I have a twrp I made for it also but I don't know how functional it is as far as flashing things and backups , the only thing I tried to flash was the magisk zip just to see what would happen and that tripped the secureboot , I used the mediatek secureboot tool and it says it's disabled but it's still not booting past the secureboot fail screen.. when I get home I'll get the files and upload them tonight
Hello everyone!
I recently had the pleasure(pain) of flashing my Ace Pro and I wanted to share the steps I took in doing so. This post will act a as guide/discussion area regarding flashing the Ace Pro(Chinese Release) into the OnePlus 10T 5G(Global Release).
Henceforth, I will refer to the OnePlus Ace Pro as Ace Pro, and the OnePlus 10T 5G as 10T.
A little bit of backstory:
I currently live in China and have no way of purchasing a device overseas and having it shipped in. Instead, I did a little bit of research and decided to purchase an Ace Pro and have a go at flashing it myself. As far as I can tell, the Ace Pro and 10T are identical hardware-wise and flashing between the 2 different market varients can be done with a little bit of effort and headache.
Before we go any further, let me link some useful articles and resources I've found along the way in order to successfully flash your own Ace Pro:
Fastboot Enhance, a powerful tool that will allow you to flash your device with your desired OS
ADB Platform Tools, a tool used to unlock your bootloader
OnePlus USB Drivers, an USB driver used to allow for your phone to communicate with your computer seamlessly(Even though not officially supported, the Ace Pro and 10T work with the 1.0 Release of the USB Drivers)
2415_11_C.22 Update, a stable release of Oxygen 13 that I personally recommend to be flashed on your 10T
Daxiaamu Tools and ROMs, a Chinese enthusiast that has developed his own tools to aid in unlocking, flashing and relocking of devices.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage that you may inflict upon your own device, proceed with caution and at your own risk! Back up all data before proceeding!!
We begin our journey by first unlocking the Ace Pro's bootloader, unlocking the bootloader is an essential step in flashing your device.
To do this, we need to first enable Developer Tools by going into: Settings > About Device > Version > And tapping the Build Number box until you have become a developer.
After this, navigate to Developer Options. If you cannot find this option, I recommend using the search bar at the top of the settings menu to find this option. Once you're in this menu, enable OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging. This allows for our computer to communicate with our Ace Pro.
Here I recommend installing your Oneplus USB Driver. This will allow your phone to communicate with your PC for the upcoming step.
After installing the drivers, plug your phone into your computer using either the USB cable that came in the box, or a reliable cable that you know will carry data.
Press on Transfer Files/Android Auto when prompted.
Allow for debugging on your device after plugging it into your computer with the prompt that shows up.
Once you are sure that both OEM Unlocking and USB debugging have been enabled, run your ADB Platform Tools by performing the following steps:
Unzip your ADB Platform Tools and have it placed in a memorable place(preferably the desktop)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Holding Shift + Right Click in an empty space brings up this option menu. Click on Open PowerShell window here.
This brings up a Windows Powershell terminal that allows you to enter commands that will directly affect your Ace Pro.
Run the command
Code:
adb devices
This show bring up an entry with a mess of both numbers and characters. This shows you that both your computer and ADB tool recognizes your device and you can move forward.
Now we want to put the device into the bootloader by using:
Code:
adb reboot booloader
This will now run on your device putting it into the bootloader state.
Note: DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR DEVICE IN THIS STATE
After making sure that your device is in the bootloader, run the command:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
You will be presented with a prompt asking you if you are sure that you want to unlock your bootloader. Using the volume rocker as a selector and the power button as a confirmation button, highlight the UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER option using the volume rocker and confirm it by pressing the power button.
Your Ace Pro's bootloader is now unlocked.
NOTE: YOUR DEVICE WILL BE FORMATTED ONCE YOU UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER! ALL EXISTING DATA WILL BE LOST!
Once unlocking your bootloader, your phone will enter 'Orange State' where it lets you know that your device is untrusted due to its unlocked nature. Do not be alarmed by this.
Proceed by setting your phone up as normal and repeat the earlier step where you become a developer and enable USB Debugging.
This time, OEM unlocking will be enabled by default, this is due to the nature of your device being unlocked.
We now want to put our device into fastboot mode by using ADB. In the Powershell window, type:
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
This will once again change the state of your phone and put it in fastboot mode where 3 language options are available. Do not configure your phone in this state, we will come back to it later.
Now, run Fastboot Enhance as an administrator on your PC. The window should open up and you should be able to see your device with the device name being labeled as 'fastboot'.
Double click this option and another Window should show up.
Make sure that the status of the device is as follows:
Secure Boot: Disabled
Seamless Update: Yes
Current Slot: a
In Fastbootd: Yes
System Update Status: None
Once in this state, we want to click on the partitions tab above and search for 'cow' in the search bar. Results will pop up if you have used/updated your device in ColorOS. You want to highlight these results and press delete on the right hand side. Having them remain in your device will have the possibility of bricking your device when flashing the new OxygenOS ROM.
Once done deleting, return to the Basic Properties tab and press Flash Payload.bin. This will open a browser in where you need to find the zip file containing the ROM that you want to flash.
Find your payload.bin file and open.
Your device will now begin to flash, it took me around 10 minutes before the device was done flashing.
Once flashed, go to your phone and select your language of choice. For most of us, it will be English. This option can be selected like earlier, using the volume rocker as a selector and the power button as a confirmation switch.
Select the option to format your phone once again. Enter the pass code that is present on the screen and confirm the formatting procedure.
The device should still be in Orange State since we have not relocked our bootloader, instead we will now see the OxygenOS boot animation before proceeding to set up our device.
From this point onward, your device is now flashed with OxygenOS.
If you would like to relock your bootloader, read on.
The benefits of relocking your bootloader is that you will be able to receive OxygenOS updates as normal and be able to use NFC functions such as Google Wallet.
Once again, enable developer options and make sure that both OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging is enabled.
Open the ADB Powershell window mentioned before and make sure that your device is still recognized by using the command:
Code:
adb devices
Once your device shows up, put it back into the bootloader state by using the command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Your phone will now enter the bootloader state once again.
We can now relock our bootloader by using the command:
Code:
fastboot flashing lock
This will prompt you to use your volume rocker and power button one more time. Select the option LOCK THE BOOTLOADER and press the power button to confirm. Your device will now format for the last time and load you into OxygenOS 13.
Note: I personally had an issue where after flashing and relocking the bootloader, my phone decided to bootloop(device stuck at OnePlus logo and keeps on turning on and off again), I solved this by holding the volume down and power button and setting it to restart. After loading into the operating system, I updated my device by using OTA updates and installing C4515_11_C.23. This allowed for my device to install the latest update and it seemed to have fixed the bootlooping problem for me.
Another method to fix the bootlooping issue after flashing your phone if you already have the latest update installed is to enable developer options after flashing and applying the same update using the local update feature.
To do this, enable developer options first, the instructions to do that were described earlier in this guide. Transfer the .bin file by drag and dropping your .bin file to a location on the device that you are familiar with. (Placing the .bin file in the downloads folder is a foolproof method)
From there onwards, you want to go into Settings > About Device > Tap on the blue OxygenOS banner > 3 dots menu in the top right corner > Local Install > Select your .bin file you used to flash the device with earlier. Your device should then update with said .bin file and the bootlooping issue should be solved.
Credit to thegreatn_ for this discovery.
Edit: Some of you may experience that your OEM unlocking is still enabled even after flashing your device and relocking your booloader. Remember earlier when your bootloader was in an unlocked state, the OEM unlocking option would be on by default and greyed out so that you could not turn it off which may present a security risk.
Rest assured that you can turn off OEM unlocking once your device has been relocked and everything will function as intended. YOUR DEVICE SHOULD NOT BE ROOTED IF YOU INTEND TO TURN THIS OFF! ONLY DO THIS WITH THE OFFICIAL FIRMWARE INSTALLED! Not having the official firmware installed and turning off OEM unlocking can brick your device!
Credit to Adly1991 for this information.
Please let me know if there's any questions you'd like to ask. This is my first time flashing and it may seem daunting at first, but I believe with a little bit of confidence, you too will be able to successfully flash your Ace Pro.
Good luck!
I'm 8T user , but thanks for sharing your experience and the information.

It was really hard for me to find a place where I could get all the information I needed about flashing my phone as a noob. If this post helps even just a single person I'd be over the moon. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks so much. Followed the instructions and worked perfectly!

We begin our journey by first unlocking the Ace Pro's bootloader, unlocking the bootloader is an essential step in flashing your device.
To do this, we need to first enable Developer Tools by going into: Settings > About Device > Version > And tapping the Build Number box until you have become a developer.
After this, navigate to Developer Options. If you cannot find this option, I recommend using the search bar at the top of the settings menu to find this option. Once you're in this menu, enable OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging. This allows for our computer to communicate with our Ace Pro.
Here I recommend installing your Oneplus USB Driver. This will allow your phone to communicate with your PC for the upcoming step.
After installing the drivers, plug your phone into your computer using either the USB cable that came in the box, or a reliable cable that you know will carry data.
Press on Transfer Files/Android Auto when prompted.
Allow for debugging on your device after plugging it into your computer with the prompt that shows up.
Once you are sure that both OEM Unlocking and USB debugging have been enabled, run your ADB Platform Tools by performing the following steps:
Unzip your ADB Platform Tools and have it placed in a memorable place(preferably the desktop)
View attachment 5844957
Holding Shift + Right Click in an empty space brings up this option menu. Click on Open PowerShell window here.
This brings up a Windows Powershell terminal that allows you to enter commands that will directly affect your Ace Pro.
Run the command
Code:
adb devices
This show bring up an entry with a mess of both numbers and characters. This shows you that both your computer and ADB tool recognizes your device and you can move forward.
Now we want to put the device into the bootloader by using:
Code:
adb reboot booloader
This will now run on your device putting it into the bootloader state.
Note: DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR DEVICE IN THIS STATE
After making sure that your device is in the bootloader, run the command:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
You will be presented with a prompt asking you if you are sure that you want to unlock your bootloader. Using the volume rocker as a selector and the power button as a confirmation button, highlight the UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER option using the volume rocker and confirm it by pressing the power button.
Your Ace Pro's bootloader is now unlocked.
NOTE: YOUR DEVICE WILL BE FORMATTED ONCE YOU UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER! ALL EXISTING DATA WILL BE LOST!
Once unlocking your bootloader, your phone will enter 'Orange State' where it lets you know that your device is untrusted due to its unlocked nature. Do not be alarmed by this.
Proceed by setting your phone up as normal and repeat the earlier step where you become a developer and enable USB Debugging.
This time, OEM unlocking will be enabled by default, this is due to the nature of your device being unlocked.
We now want to put our device into fastboot mode by using ADB. In the Powershell window, type:
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
This will once again change the state of your phone and put it in fastboot mode where 3 language options are available. Do not configure your phone in this state, we will come back to it later.
Now, run Fastboot Enhance as an administrator on your PC. The window should open up and you should be able to see your device with the device name being labeled as 'fastboot'.
Double click this option and another Window should show up.
Make sure that the status of the device is as follows:
Secure Boot: Disabled
Seamless Update: Yes
Current Slot: a
In Fastbootd: Yes
System Update Status: None
Once in this state, we want to click on the partitions tab above and search for 'cow' in the search bar. Results will pop up if you have used/updated your device in ColorOS. You want to highlight these results and press delete on the right hand side. Having them remain in your device will have the possibility of bricking your device when flashing the new OxygenOS ROM.
Once done deleting, return to the Basic Properties tab and press Flash Payload.bin. This will open a browser in where you need to find the zip file containing the ROM that you want to flash.
Find your payload.bin file and open.
Your device will now begin to flash, it took me around 10 minutes before the device was done flashing.
Once flashed, go to your phone and select your language of choice. For most of us, it will be English. This option can be selected like earlier, using the volume rocker as a selector and the power button as a confirmation switch.
Select the option to format your phone once again. Enter the pass code that is present on the screen and confirm the formatting procedure.
The device should still be in Orange State since we have not relocked our bootloader, instead we will now see the OxygenOS boot animation before proceeding to set up our device.
From this point onward, your device is now flashed with OxygenOS.
If you would like to relock your bootloader, read on.
The benefits of relocking your bootloader is that you will be able to receive OxygenOS updates as normal and be able to use NFC functions such as Google Wallet.
مرة أخرى ، قم بتمكين خيارات المطور وتأكد من تمكين كل من إلغاء تأمين OEM وتصحيح أخطاء USB.
افتح نافذة ADB Powershell المذكورة من قبل وتأكد من أنه لا يزال يتم التعرف على جهازك باستخدام الأمر:
Code:
أجهزة adb [/ CODE]
بمجرد ظهور جهازك ، أعده إلى حالة أداة تحميل التشغيل باستخدام الأمر:
[كود] adb reboot bootloader [/ CODE]
سيدخل هاتفك الآن في حالة أداة تحميل التشغيل مرة أخرى.
يمكننا الآن إعادة توصيل محمل الإقلاع الخاص بنا باستخدام الأمر:
[كود] قفل وميض fastboot [/ CODE]
سيطالبك هذا باستخدام زر التحكم في الصوت وزر الطاقة مرة أخرى. حدد الخيار LOCK THE BOOTLOADER واضغط على زر الطاقة للتأكيد. سيتم الآن تنسيق جهازك لآخر مرة وتحميلك إلى OxygenOS 13.
ملاحظة: لقد واجهت شخصيًا مشكلة حيث بعد وميض أداة تحميل التشغيل ، قرر هاتفي تشغيل bootloop (الجهاز عالق على شعار OnePlus ويستمر في التشغيل وإيقاف التشغيل مرة أخرى) ، لقد قمت بحل هذه المشكلة عن طريق الضغط على زر خفض الصوت وزر الطاقة وتعيينه لإعادة التشغيل. بعد التحميل في نظام التشغيل ، قمت بتحديث جهازي باستخدام تحديثات OTA وتثبيت C4515_11_C.23. سمح ذلك لجهازي بتثبيت آخر تحديث ويبدو أنه قد أصلح مشكلة bootlooping بالنسبة لي.
يُرجى إعلامي إذا كان هناك أي أسئلة تود طرحها. هذه هي المرة الأولى التي تومض فيها وقد يبدو الأمر شاقًا في البداية ، لكنني أعتقد بقليل من الثقة ، أنك أيضًا ستكون قادرًا على وميض Ace Pro بنجاح.
حظ سعيد!

Hey there, I'm not 100% sure on how to solve this issue but I'll try my best.
First of all, please ensure that your phone is plugged into your computer at all times.
Make sure that your cable supports data transfer and try other cables and see if this problem persists.
The fact that ADB is recognizing your device tells me that your cable is probably not to blame.
Make sure that your phone is on beforehand and that USB debugging and OEM Unlocking are both enabled in the developer settings.
You have to also make sure to select allow on your phone when it asks whether the connected computer is allowed to debug your phone. This is important since it allows your computer to run commands on your phone itself.
Does your phone go into the fastboot screen when you run the adb reboot bootloader command?
Let me know so I can narrow your problems down further and solve the issue!
@thk202 I'm not a vendor of any type. This was just my personal experiences. Can you describe what's gone wrong?
thank you, i finally did it following your steps .. and i think recommendation of 2415 version solved my problem and also instantly got C.26 update through OTA
since i tried 2413 before and alwayes got modem issue.

I remember reading somewhere that 2413 gets updates quicker than 2415 for some reason. But I for one was used to the slow update schedule from Samsung for years so it never affected me. 2415 C22 was a stable OxygenOS 13 release that allowed for OTA to C26 to fix any sort booting issues after relocking your bootloader. I remember relocking my bootloader and having it go into a constant bootloop/soft brick after the C22 flash but after OTA to C26, the bootlooping fixed itself and everything was stable again.

Erm I've actually got no clue, I know for a fact that if your bootloader is unlocked, OEM unlocking is on by default and greyed out so you cannot turn it off while the bootloader is in it's unlocked state. I did re-enable developer options after locking my phone again and OEM unlocking was turned off by default. This hasn't bricked my phone and I'm assuming that if it had the potential chance to, OnePlus would have greyed it out. See below:
How I fixed my "bootloop" problem:
I flashed C.26 through Fastbootd and wiped data, and... bootloop!
Looks like device is trying to access wrong slot A or B and unable to.
You need to hold power button + volume up, it should reboot normally. It's a temporary solution, you will face it again after another reboot.
Then you need to transfer the same zip you used to flash into root directory of the phone (where all the folders are living). Go to settings -> About device -> Status -> Tap 7 times on build number to unlock local update feature.
Next, tap on big OxygenOS banner -> Three-dots menu at the top right -> Local install. After, select the zip file you previously copied. Confirm and wait for phone to update itself.
Update will be installed and bootloop issue should be fixed.

This is another method of solving the bootlooping issue. I'm assuming that the device just automatically unscrews itself when it receives an update through within the OS. The bootlooping issue is probably because its trying to find a bootable OS through both slot A and B until it manages to fix itself. I personally just flashed C22 and updated to C26 and it had the same effect as flashing C26 and flashing C26 again in local updates.
Thanks for the info! I'll append it to the guide in a bit...

I'd like to point out that there is no need to unpack the zip file, Updater will do everything automatically.
This is to inform that i got update c.26 and c.27 through OTA with no issue ..
Wonderful lemme know if you run into any more issues and I'll be glad to help

how you fixed this issue ? i got same problem .
Currently, RSA does not support XT2311-3 for unknown reason. However, I found a ROM for Tracfone, but the boot works with unlocked version.
Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=10620683726822053015
MD5 60f8e629cbe7e969923c07538d6c3c7c
Bootloader unlock required. However, VPN disappeared after bootloader unlocked. You have to set up user account if you need VPN
Note: your phone is wiped during bootloader unlock process. Since RSA does not work with this phone at this time, you may not be able to rescue if something goes wrong.
Note: Titanium Backup does not work with Android 13. You need Swift Backup (pay $2.5 a year to use your choice of cloud service)
You should do it before initial setup. Wi-Fi connection and/or data connection needed for Magisk. Transfer the boot.img downloaded to your phone and patch it with Magisk, and transfer the patched boot back to host computer.
Now reboot the phone to bootloader or fastbootd
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
Flash patched boot
Code:
fastboot flash boot
Press space once, drag-and-drop the patched_boot onto command window, and press enter.
Post process:
Install the following as modules and you should install Fox's Magisk Module Manager
ADB fastboot
shamiko (you can setup Deny List but you don't have to enable because shamiko takes care of it)
Universal SafetyNet Fix 2.4.0
Systemless host within Magisk
liboemcrypo disabler is not required as it plays Netflix fine after these modules added, and it appears L1 on mine (good)
You can complete setup after root is done. Make sure you add Play Store and Play Services into Deny List as well as any app can detect root
How do you unlock the bootloader on this phone? When I copy & paste my device ID into the Motorola bootloader unlock page and click on "Can my device be unlocked" button, I get a message saying, "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking".

Did you purchase your phone through Motorola directly?
I originally ordered a Moto G Stylus 5g (2023) from Amazon and tried several times to get the Motorola site to issue an unlock code. When I tried factory resetting this phone, I got a ROM not found error so I am returning this phone to Amazon. I then ordered a Moto G Power 5G (2023) directly from Motorola. My first attempt at getting an unlock code failed but I kept trying and finally was able to get through the process and now have the unlock code (sent via email).
When I tried to use fastboot to unlock the bootloader, I received this message "Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Android Settings > Developer Options". I have factory reset the Moto G Power 5g (2023) and am hoping the OEM Unlock option will be enabled soon. (If anyone has any 'tricks' on getting this Developer option enabled, please chime in)
If it helps, I used instructions from here: https://www.hardreset.info/devices/.../bootloader-moto-unlock-lenovo-motorola-root/
(They have a download for MFASTBOOT, which I did use but I am thinking the old FASTBOOT would work as well)

I got mine from Best Buy
Now there's a workaround for missing VPN
Get App Ops from Play Store and add sui (zygisk) module on Magisk
Check the list on App Ops and allow VPN on app needed
Moreover, Netflix works after USNF @Displax mod added, added Play Store and Play Services in Deny List, and Shamiko module added.
Mine shows L1 and Netflix (and cable TV app) work

I bought mine at Best Buy, but that shouldn't make any difference. It's the unlocked version for use on any carrier, so it should be bootloader unlockable.
I enabled Developer Options, but I noticed that "OEM Unlocking" is grayed out. When trying to Google this and find out why, I came upon a Lenovo forum where people were asking the exact same thing, and Lenovo's response was that the phone needs an Internet or Wi-Fi connection for 7 days before the "OEM Unlocking" option will become available(?!).
Now, I'm wondering if that's what's going on here, and why I'm getting the message that my phone isn't eligible for bootloader unlocking. I guess I'll see in a few days, LOL!

I know this is weird.
Mine takes 7 days and it's on internet/SIM active
Back then my situation was more difficult because even RSA was not ready for the phone (it says not supported). I needed boot.img for rooting
I think I'm on day 2 of waiting... It's only on WiFi as I need the SIM for my old phone. Kind of frustrating that it's not a more immediate result/change.
Yesterday was 7 days from when I bought my Moto G Power 5G, and I checked it this morning - lo and behold, OEM Unlocking is available!
I don't understand the reasoning/desire behind Lenovo's wanting to impose this 7 day waiting period, but it is what it is. Time to {hopefully!} go unlock my bootloader.

What a pain in the a$$!! I had to keep trying over and over before it would work. It worked the first or second time (gave me the option to get an unlock code), but I forgot to put it in bootloader mode, so I got an error. Then, I had to try multiple times before it would give me another chance to get the unlock code (kept telling me my device wasn't eligible for unlock). Finally got it unlocked, and then rooted!
