Sorry about that and thank you
What are you using to gain root & is the bootloader unlocked? You should probably unlock the bootloader first, if you have not done so.
I was able to unlock the bootloader on this device with fastboot:
Type:
fastboot flashing unlock
Then:
fastboot reboot
WARNING: This will wipe/reset your device but, the bootloader will be unlocked.
I am using ubuntu 21.10 so I did not have to download the SDK to do this.
But, in order to root with Magisk I need to either extract the boot.img from the stock firmware or directly from the device using TWRP and fastboot but, we don't have a TWRP image for this device and i'm not sure how to port it. (I'm a bit rusty) If you can get TWRP on the device, let me know. I need a copy of the stock recovery.img to make a port of TWRP (I believe) and in order for that I need a copy of the stock firmware which I cannot find. I'm sure I have ported TWRP in the past using Android Kitchen.
any updates on this device ?
Hey I have a boot loop now on the stratus c5 from cloud mobile. Is there any way you could send me a copy of the factory firmware or the boot.img file if you have gotten it. I am able to enter fastboot mode still but that is it. Normal boot and recovery boot just stay in loops. I think tried flashing with a patched-boot.img i found but it was the wrong one and now im screwed bc i have overwritten the boot partition. Let me know if you are able to extract that img file or if you have the firmware.

Ok, I didn't provide you with a link to the required zip but with links to fora dedicated to your device where you have to search yourself. The second link that I've provided leads you to the Q&A forum for your device, which might be best suited to ask this kind of questions.
Anyhow, the first link I provided is to the ROM etc. development forum for your device, and this forum contains a thread called "[Unofficial] [Recovery] TWRP for daisy (Mount SD Fixed)" that might be the recovery you need - but I don't know and you've to check this yourself. However, I just realised that the download link in the OP goes to adfly, which I've immediately reported as this is not in line with the XDA Forum Rules. But post #7 in that thread contains a good link.
You have to search yourself a bit and not depend on others doing that for you. But I hope (I'm not sure) that I was able to point you to that what you require.

I don't know your device or any with two slots but the procedure I've read here (https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomimia2lite.html) is slightly different to yours. If I correctly read you need both, the TWRP img and zip. Flash the img through fastboot, and afterwards flash the zip through the (yet temporary) TWRP:
...
If you do not already have TWRP installed: Download both the img and the zip. Copy the zip to your device. You will need to have fastboot binaries and the correct drivers installed. Power off your device completely. Hold volume down and turn on the device. Your device should now be in the bootloader. Connect the device to your PC. Open a command window and run the following command from the proper location:
fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img
This will temporarily boot TWRP on your device. Go to install and browse to the zip and install the zip. The zip will install TWRP to both boot slots...

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.
Android Version : 10
Current Firmware Version : A115MUBU1ATC2

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.
So Ive never thought about or had anyone around me ever talk about android developers or enthusiasts or whatever it is... the past few years I ran into quite a few issues that ive needed root.. so I tried researching and trying to learn and well.. i should of maybe hopped on here before i did the actual attempt... SO heres my **** up!
I unlocked my bootloader... then followed a guide and I had tried flashing a img without flashing twrp and magisk and so now I figured out how to boot into recovery, twrp... and flashed magisk and then I tried installing no verity opt encrypt 6.1 and it states failed then i started moving around through twrp and tried mounting data and it will not even highlight the data checkbox and wont let me repair the data under the wipe command and wont let me change it to any of the extensions? no os found it says it wont let me format userdata says this.
fastboot: error; cannot generate image for userdata
please if you can help me out... any help would be greatly appreciated and would be lifesaving... thx
I am new to trying out this kind of stuff i believe i flashed possibly the wrong boot img! before I had flashed twrp and well i was stuck in fastboot.. but managed to get twrp and then flashed magisk and tried flashing no verity opt encryption but it will not flash I'm unable to mount the checkbox data in mount It wont even highlight the checkbox... i go to try to wipe some partitions and the only one it lets me wipe is metadata... I've tried format and It said failed to generate userdata partition and then i = tried fastboot erase userdata it worked tried erase/format cache it didn't work so any help at this would be greatly appreciated... thanks for your time
Re-flash phone's Stock ROM to get rid off of all modifications you applied so far.
so just download original stock rom to my computer into the file that holds adb and fastboot and then flash it and then reboot and it should work?
You shouldn't post duplicate threads.. I noticed you already had one the same day a few hours earlier for the same thing.. You might want to read the rules before posting to avoid any issues.
@Learnitright Hello, as mentioned above, please do not make duplicate threads with same topic. All replies from other users can be on this thread.
I have merged another thread by you into this one. Thanks.
I am sorry i wasnt sure if the first one went through or not I am stuck with a slow computer isnt very good im just trying to fix my phone.. If anyone could help?
You need stock-ROM and msm-tool, sadly metro version stock-ROM might not available for public right now. You should have used
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-n200.img
instead of flash recovery.

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?

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.

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.

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?
hi everyone i have a lenovo tab m8 8505xs and i really want to root it i tried a few ways but when i successfully managed to do it, it had no wifi or anything. can someone please tell me how to get this rooted ive been trying for hours

i used magisk but ive just installed stocl firmware so am about to start again but i cant find the boot.img for my device.
Do you have a computer? Which platform? In the source file of the firmware you installed, you can't find boot but you have a file called " payload.bin" ?
yes i have a computer and ive got access to a windows. ive got the boot.img now of my firmware. ive got magisk installed just need help from now to do it probably.
i have windows and a linux so i can access both platforms.
Did you flash the vbmeta partition as well? Check in the Original firmware files if you have vbmeta.img and run the patch with magisk. Uninstall magisk from your phone, download the zip file and apk stub of your same version from the official site. Wipe the cache and flash the boot and vbmeta partitions ( fastboot flash boot [boot img] ). ( fastboot flash vbmeta [vbmeta.img] . After you flash run ( fastboot reboot recovery ) you should have an entry on the panel that says " apply update from adb " select it and enter that mode. Run commands 1 ( adb devices ) 2 ( adb sideload magiskV###.zip ) Turn on the phone and check if everything is correct
