Hello guys!
Recently, i've got this phone mentioned above. It is a great phone, everything is okay, but i do not like EMUI a lot, i prefer AOSP to EMUI.
Are there any custom ROMs (CM, AOSP, etc) to this phone?
I've looked around on 4pda.ru about this, i found a recovery, but thats it, nothing more.
There you go, i installed this TWRP 3.0.2.0, and it works like a charm.
1: Unlock your bootloader. IT IS INDISPENSABLE! If you brick your device locked, you lost.
2: Go into fastboot (Easiest: Turn off your device, and Hold down POWER DOWN + POWER WHILE you attach the USB from the computer. The phone will go instantly into fastboot mode, it works for me)
3: Type: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
4: The phone now should download the recovery. Pull the battery out, and restart in recovery.
Download
The file is from 4PDA.ru, i have to reupload it, because 4PDA's sign up is a PAIN. A friend of mine helped me, and it took like 2 hours.
Altough, i do not know why you need the recovery other than backing up, since there are no custom rom avaiable for this phone. (Can anyone maybe port to it?)
I think, that porting Allwiev E4 Lite custom roms would be the best option, but I have weak knowledge about roms porting :crying:
There are no custom roms yet for this device.
For first you may trie to install nova launcher? It gives some feeling near to aosp.

No. The best option is to port the ROM with the same chipset (MT6735).
My best result is a Doogee X5 Pro

@snikerfreak did you find any rom for this device.
My son instaled TWRP and wiped everything trying to flash an honor 5A rom, installation failed so now phone is dead.
Do you know where to get a firmware? Can't find anything right!
All attempts to find firmware for my Dual Sim Huawei Y6 II Compact (LYO-L21) failed so I want to ask a BIG support to anyone in this thread with a TWRP recovery installed. By inexperience my teenager son wiped every partition on the phone and now we are unable to boot. It would be of great help if some one could share a twpr backup (including all partitions) to be used not only for me but for anyone as a flashable firmware.
I'm aware it would take some time, skills and dedication.
Here is how to perform it:
Backup your current phone firts with all your personal data
Do a Factory Reset
Do a second backup to be shared as a stock rom or standard firmware
Restore personal backup
Upload firmware (stock rom) backup to the cloud and share donwload link here
Is there anyone wanting to provide this?
I'll be very grateful for that
Thanks

Russian have custom ROMs in 4pda forum. It is Resurrection Remix OS 7.1.1 (unstable beta) and CyanogenMod 14.1_Android 7.1.1 (beta, camera not working). They stop work with RR_OS, but CM 14.1 is still porting.
You can help em.
links:
RR_Os port - 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=792704&st=560#entry60137872
CM 14.1 port - 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=792704&st=780#entry60547208
Also u can install ota-updates from custom recovery. Just del some strings in updater-script file into update.app \META-INF\com\google\android\ and repack its like .zip (w/o compression)
4xample strings:
assert(file_getprop(" -- it is checks firmware version and region
assert(apply_patch_check(" --- it is checks the hash sums of files the updates
Something really weird happened while I was installing roms. Someone how my OEM got locked and I flashed and voila stuck on the oneplus logo. I have my fastboot working properly also got twrp installed. The thing is that my bootloader is locked so i cant flash and I cant unlock bootloader because I cant flash and set oem unlock. I know this is ****ed up and also my volume up key is not working so we have to work without that. . Whenevr i turn on the device the powered by android quickly disappears and i am in the fastboot. If I do oem unlock it sends me to the recovery. I am not sure why i can't OEM unlock in fastboot. I don't care about data and stuff. Just want the phone working. The unbrick guide wants me to press the volume up key to get to the qualcomm flashing. Unfortunately i can't do that. Need of dire help please ;_;
I kind of have the same problem as of 2 days (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/bricked-oneplus-x-unlock-bootloader-t3816387), which is kind of strange, as I haven't read anywhere else about it on the internet.
I'll be following this topic.

I've solved it bud. IF you have a working recovery and bootloader. Flash the stock OS. It'll flash even though the bootloader is locked and then your can oem unlock and do whatever.

Thank you. I've tried it, but the problem is that I'm stuck with the Oneplus recovery, as I've mentioned in my post. From there, I have 2 options to flash:
1) from internal memory. When I click this, nothing happens (no new screen or anything, nothing)
2) from USB (adb sideload). When I try to sideload the ROM using this option, it starts promising, but after a few seconds, it just says 'Installation failed' without any reason why. Just like for all other ROMS.
So... No progress here. I've also tried to flash the stock recovery (even though it should be on my phone already, maybe another version) using fastboot, but my OPX won't take it because the bootloader is still locked.
Last resort: I'll try the Oneplus live chat tomorrow, but I do not expect any useful information from that...

Well guess what, they could solve it.
Or at least partly. It appears that Oneplus has an updated version of the tool used in the mega unbrick guide: MSMDownloadTool V2.1 instead of V2.0. This tool did it's job perfectly, OOS was also installed, in contrast to V2.0 of the tool. I ****ed it up again after that (oops), but found the tool V2.1 online here (https://github.com/finlayacourt/Oneplus-X-Recovery). Some files are missing here like the system.img, but I just copied them from the folder of tool V2.0 found in the mega unbrick guide. It didn't work as perfectly as Oneplus's tool, but at least I was able to install OOS from the Oneplus bootloader, which I wasn't able to before. So knowing that, in the end, the result is the same as for their tool. A working OS again, perfect! So now I can unlock the bootloader again and continue the adventure.
Now, what I've found is that the mainboard I have on my OPX is a newer version (if you search on Google for 'oneplus E1003_15', you'll find some things about it, not much though). I'm 99% positive that this caused all the problems I've encountered. It is why TWRP couldn't see any storage, why the stock Oneplus recovery couldn't see any storage, why the tool V2.0 didn't work and why V2.1 did work. If I wanted a working TWRP, I had to install a modified version of TWRP which is compatible with the newer version, from here: https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...-1-oreo-rom-unofficial-onyx-8-1-x.867374.html (yes, once you're relying on German sites, you know you went very deep). After that, I could install LineageOS 14.1 again. I was unable to install the unofficial LineageOS 15.1 however, but knowing where I came from, what I've gone through and how much time I've lost on all of this, I think I'll just stick with LineageOS 14.1 until this baby can retire...
Got to say I only have very positive experiences with Oneplus and it's customer support, and this only adds to it!
This bloke on youtube thinks he has it rooted.. maybe fake though..
The fact that the video says that you cannot update Magisk as the bootloader is still locked makes me think it might be legit..
Considering it is all done within the Android OS it is probably safe to try.. you might just have to factory reset if it causes issues.
Another option?

Looks interesting, this phone would appeal to me more if I could root it.
If the root does work then how could you unroot it or would installing updates get rid of it and you need to root again?
I think root is possible, but until now I have not been able to find out exactly whether the Fastboot is locked or not. it is my first OPPO and so I have no experience with OPPO. even if it's BBK. it's not an OP 8. We can only hope that someone might want to open it here. But from the root on youtube and other websites I would be careful. I also couldn't find any firmware for the flash via MSM tool or download tool ... so at the moment with an unbrick it is not possible to restore it.

Factory reset should revert if the apps dont have revert option.
I'd like to see them show rooting an X2 Pro, rather than an A5s (CPH1909)
ordered one anyway... first phone without root in 11 years.. i hope i made the right decision.
It depends what you root for I guess. For me I currently root for adaway, viper, substratum themes and to change my font plus I recently run a module for various tweaks.
I used viper for my old wireless earbuds, I recently got new ones which sounds great without viper. Lots of apps now have a dark mode and I hear this phone has a beta mode that can turn other apps dark. Not changing font I can live with and the tweaks module is fun but not essential. Adaway I will miss. But for the first time in a while I'm not so fussed about root. I understand some people like it because you can flash ROMs when the device gets older. I survived for 18 months with a Samsung S8 plus without root so I know I can do it!
I need to decide whether to pre order the phone today or I miss out on the pre order bonus, I like it but don't think I can trade in my 7 pro, I love it a bit too much.
First and foremost adblock though you can do that without root. Second Sony Music magisk module for Android Auto. Third to debloat. 4th for some advanced Tasker tasks. I'm pretty sure I can get workarounds for most

I don't see how this can be legit. The video shows a different device and also the rooting tool is for mediatek based devices. The Oppo find x2 pro is based on Qualcomm chipset.
Can anyone confirm if VMOS work this phone? It may be the only way to use root.
Never heard of vmos sounds interesting!
Yeah VMOS is like running VMware or Parellel on Mac. It's easier than rooting an actual android device, but it also gives more battery drain and less intuitive. I have it on my Mate 20 pro, does anyone know if it works on find x2 pro?
Videos been removed. I really wish this phone had working twrp and magisk it'd be literally the ideal phone
I'm just waiting for a oneplus phone with a periscope camera, that will be the one to get as it will be like this phone but with working root.
Yeah miss root. First phone in a decade I have bought without it. Though mostly I use it for adblock though private DNS works very well
Really missing root on this phone. I wish it were available considering the Snapdragon processor
EE
So far, i have been able to Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking, this on the EE Network. Seems there is no TWRP Build Avail for the X2 Pro Yet. And i am unaware of any other way of Flashing the Magisk Zip Safely any other way.
I have also patched the boot IMG with magisk but there is no way to flash the file.
The recovery accepts only ozip files?

Hello very friendly helping people!
Im a 10 year iPhone user, but over time i came to hate all the restrictions and so i got myself a K30 Ultra and later today it should finally arrive!
Unfortunately i found out that it doesnt check the Google SafetyNet thingy and i can't use Google Pay with it. That kinda sucks, I never thought about stuff like this on iOS, but I'm confident there is a solution for it.
I found out about rooting my device, but it somehow isn't possible because of the Mediatek chip. But then I also found out that apperenty there IS a way to use the program/thingy that makes the phone pass SafetyNet (Magisk) without the need of a custom ROM.
I'm sorry if im confusing words like rooting im very noobish about all this.
So here are my questions in short form:
1. Can I make Google Pay Work in any way on my Redmi K30 Ultra?
2. Does this also affect my banking apps (I'm using DKB and Kontist) and can this be solved, too?
3. Could you link me some guides how to do it?
4. Is there any danger doing it (like deleting my phone if it doesnt work) and is there a possibility to safe my device on the PC or something like this to be safe?
5. Are their any safety concerns doing "it" (not sure what the solution will be) and should I install an anti virus program on the device? I just read about the cerberus trojan and its kinda scary. I think iOS systems were always pretty safe against those.
6. Anything else i need to know?
Thank you so much! I appreciate it a lot that there is a place where i can go to get help on those things! <3
Google Pay and any other banking apps refuse to work when a rooted Android gets detected by them. BTW: SafetyNet API doesn't purely check whether the device's Android is rooted, as the API is designed to check the overall integrity of device's Android.

Hey, thanks for your post!
Are you implying that there is no way around that and its doomed to forever not work on my device?
To clarify things: SafetyNet is run by an app that has implemented this API, it's not run by Android OS itself. Yes, Magisk allows you to lever out this test by manipulating device's fingerprint so you will possibly be able to use Google Pay etc.pp
FYI: Any app not having SafetyNet API implemented easily can check whether Android got rooted / tampered or not. The app simply runs functions like
Code:
isRootNative
isDetectedDevKeys
isDetectedTestKeys
isFoundBusyboxBinary
isFoundDangerousProps
isFoundHooks
isFoundResetprop
isFoundSuBinary
isFoundWrongPathPermission
isFoundXposed
isNotFoundReleaseKeys
isPermissiveSelinux
isSuExists
isMagiskSUExists
isFoundMagisk
isFoundRootCloakingApps
what can't get prevented by Magisk.

Ok, perfect. Would you be able to link me to a guide that shows me how to install Magisk on my device? It has a Mediatek chip so a custom ROM isn't possible (as far as I understand).

How to install Magisk without a Custom ROM is explained here.
If a Custom ROM like TWRP isn't officially made public for your device then you have to compile TWRP at your own.
This is TWRP and Magisk for the latest firmware on the K30 Ultra. https://mifirm.net/downloadtwrp/166
---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------
Google Pay on a rooted device with Magisk installed /is/ possible, my Galaxy Note 9 with Dr. Ketan's ROM works with Google Pay and I believe it's due to the CTS Profile fix which is available in its ROM Tool app. So there's going to be some way to make it work with the K30 Ultra.

Oh wow how cool is that, that is custom for the K30 ultra
And do I install that with the guide linked above or do I need some certain skill and experience to do that. It says it isn't tested yet. If I do a mirror of my phone before nothing really bad can happen right?

Nice!!!
Yeah the only think that failed SafetyNet Test is the "CTS profile match". But I can't use those roms for my K30 ultra, right, so I just do it with Magisk?
Thanks so much!!
You need to unlock your bootloader with the Mi Unlock tool then flash TWRP over fastboot, and in TWRP make the appropriate backups and flash Magisk. There's many guides and it's relatively straight forward.
K30 Ultra is basically a brand new phone, it's like a month old. It'll be a while but keep an eye on XDA Forums, on the internet, and on YouTube. Somebody will eventually describe or figure out how to fix the CTS Profile.
I think I'm not gonna modify mine and I'll just wear my Apple Watch to use it for contactless payments.

Alright, so I read 12384 guides and had a very tiny sense of it. The Mi Unlock tool stopped me, though, and now I'll have to wait another 6 days.
As I understood it, my data will be erased, but can be just be restored by MIUI if backed up before. I'm gonna let you know how it worked after I'll do it in about a week.
Probably I won't have to patience to wait. Google Pay is a really nice to have, but neither voLTE, nor voWifi works on my device, so I for sure have do hack that some weird way, because i have no mobile network at all at home and absolutely need voWifi.
Thank you very much for your kind help! <3
No problem at all.
I'm not sure if Wifi-Calling (voWifi) works with my carrier as I've turned it on with the carrier and in the phone, and it doesn't seem to be making calls over wifi. Not a big deal for me though as I've got Unlimited calls with my carrier.
Please let us know if and when you do flash the TWRP as I'd like feedback before flashing it myself.
Do your banking apps refuse to work or is it only google pay that fails due to the safetynet fail?

Yeah, me too, but I have a very bad connection in my flat so I do need voWifi anyway. I will let you know and hope I won't brick my device. But as I understand it, bricking the device just by flashing twrp is very unlikely, right?

Only Google Pay, both of my banking apps work perfectly. I couldnt scan the security bar code though, some internal google app wouldn't allow it. So i had to put in both the (very long) idendification and security numbers in manually.
Alright thanks. Another thing im interested in is if Snapchat works when safetynet fails. Did you do any tests regarding that?

Not using Snapchat, but I just installed it and it starts without problems. Didn't made an account though.
So I'm gonna be able to flash twrp and Magisk in exactly 14 hours and have some questions i would really appreciate an answer to <3
Using this: https://mifirm.net/downloadtwrp/166
1. The thing i want to flash first is twrp and it is the file called "recovery.img" in the downloaded folder, is that correct?
2. Just flashing twrp is "relatively" safe and if I do a backup and the device bricks by installing Magsik after, i can recover it through twrp, correct?
3. Should I not install todays new security update to MIUI or does that not matter at all?
edit: 4. Do I need/want to have "USB debugging", "Install via USB" and "USBebugging (Security Settings)" enabled or just "OEM unlocking"?
Thank you so much! I'm very nervous since i didn't read any experiences of rooting the K30 Ultra before and I'm scared of killing it.
Hey Mirardt, good luck. Let us know how you get on!
1. Yeah, you'll use fastboot to flash the recovery.img for TWRP.
2. Do a full backup with TWRP and you should be safe.
3. Doesn't matter, it's just the September Android security update.
4. Yeah turn on USB Debugging and connect your phone to your computer - it will ask you if you want to allow this computer to debug your phone, choose accept and always (or something similar to those words.) Do this before flashing TWRP.

Hey Jabo, nice, I'm gonna do just that! Just for clarification, I use Mi Unlock Tool first, THEN twrp, then backup, then magisk?
I'll let you know and thanks for the good luck!
edit: so the command would be "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", right?
I'm VERY sorry for the noobish questions.
I'm going to quickly use this thread to ask how to actually unlock the K30 Ultra Bootloader. I did everything the guides said, but Mi Unlock still doesn't recognize the phone when it's plugged in. Any Advice?
Hey guys (especially JaboJG). quick update: Flashing twrp and Magsik both just worked perfectly. no brick. Thanks for your help!!
The only issue is that it didnt help in passing Google Safety Check. I tried almost everything there is and will post my logs of MagiskHide Props in their thread soon.
Also, now some apps don't work anymore because they detect the root. I hope we will find a fix.

I'm going to quickly use this thread to ask how to actually unlock the K30 Ultra Bootloader. I did everything the guides said, but Mi Unlock still doesn't recognize the phone when it's plugged in. Any Advice?

No idea, sorry. It just worked for me.
I have been looking into rooting my N20 with twrp, but I found no support for this device on the teamwin website. I have unlocked the bootloader and was looking for the entry but it isn't there. Are there any alternatives or other routes I can take? Thanks.
Yeah just flash your boot img with magisk and then just boot to fastboot and flash boot.img and disable vbmeta..

Will try, thanks for the reply.
Devs r working on it now but the Oscar TWRP can be used temporarily if you just have to have TWRP before it's finished but take this into consideration that it won't work perfectly because it's for the CE2 lite which is the euro sister to the N20. I recommend copying your stock boot image to your inactive slot and flashing the Oscar TWRP to the active slot and use TWRP for whatever u need it for then change slots in TWRP to get back to system... This is a temporary workaround.. there's an app you can download to switch slots from Android too but you need the bootctl magisk mod

Is there any way to see progress updates on that or is there a way to use Oscar TWRP as normal recovery (don't feel very good about not having custom recovery available in case something goes wrong).

well u would have to search for the TG group. im not allowed to post links to it here any more. mods delete or censor my posts if i do even though i always ask that anyone getting live help in TG post their problem and solution here if they get help... idk lol.... as soon as its finished it will get posted in a new thread though. everything works except booting to system with twrp in ramdisk so we are trying to get some device specific things swapped out and testing as we go. i dont see it being much longer now that we have some more help.

Oh I see, well that's too bad since I don't have telegram. Although it's good to hear that it might be done soon.

Ok well maybe it will be longer than I thought. Nobody left whos very interested in working on it. I don't really have the time for it any more. Anyone who is interested can either copy their own boot image to the inactive slot and flash Oscar TWRP to active so magisk and such flashes correctly then switch active and boot off the inactive slot. You can use magisk bootctrl mod along with an app that switches active slot from Android to boot to TWRP without a PC and then change slots in TWRP to get back to android and always keep a good copy of ur boots image on the sdcard and never forget to flash your stock/patched boot image in TWRP to the inactive slot before rebooting if you flash anything that flashes over both slots. .....OR find Spector and others in TG or on GitHub and see if they wanna work with u to get TWRP fixed for our device... Or you can find a fork of Spector's Oscar TWRP that says experiment for N20 and you can use/experiment/continue on our efforts. Shout out to Scrad, JuiceBox, Spector, pjgowtham, the guys in CE2 liteband Nord groups, and many others who have devoted so much time to learning and working with me on this and answering so many questions and giving advice.. Shout out to PizzaG who tried his best to teach me and work on a device he has no experience with and to Eduardo for the initial attempt. Shout out to Ghetti for being Ghetti, if he ever sees this he will know what I mean. If I left anyone out I apologize but you know who you are and I thank you. Someone got me banned on TG probably related to this device and my refusal to help when people start acting like Im obligated to help them and act a monkey . so I'm done pushing anything out for it or spending any more effort on it. Good luck everyone. I may check in from time to time but I've wasted the last 7 months learning more than I ever thought I needed to know about android and OnePlus. Also just to note, the N20 experimental fork of the Oscar TWRP has the GN2200 kernel dumped from a July patched boot image along with dtbo and some other things, you can do a diff to see what got swapped out from Spector's fork if anyone wants to play with it. Everything works except booting to system in the OSCAR TWRP on the N20 and I haven't been able to try to build the TWRP I was experimenting with so I don't even know if those changes fixed it. If anyone wants to be the guinea pig and try it be my guest or if someone wants to build it and post it I will test it one of these days

Oscar sadly even when used on your non acrtive partition has limitations that a device specific TWRP will hopefully address.

It does seem a fun undertaking the TWRP site and various posts give a general overview on adding it to a new device.
