I'm very new at this but I have done a lot of research on on gaining root privileges on Android devices. That being said, I'm hitting some road blocks on the path to rooting my OnePlus N20 5G.
Roadblock #1: boot.img file. I know where it's at. But I can't get to it. EVERYTHING I've read involves being rooted before I can access the file. I've tried dumping incrementals despite being warned that it wouldn't work. I tried adb. And I've tried the DSU loader prerooted lineageOS 20. I can't get that file.
Roadblock #2 Gaining root in the gsi seems impossible also. So in order to actually use the root privileges I have to flash a superuser.zip. So wouldn't that be...a waste of time if I can't flash anything but a stock ROM to my actual device anyways?? Or is there a way I can load it directly to the lineageOS gsi?
Roadblock #3 OTA updates. When is the N20 supposed to get the full firmware update package instead of these incrementals? I'd just take the boot.img file from that if I could.
I don't know what all information I'd need to provide to get some accurate feedback but it's model number is CPH2459 and my firmware package is CPH2459_11_A.08 with the security patch dated 2022-09-05 oxygenOS version is 11.3.
Send help. I'm stuck and not even like chuck.
On my *S variants, install PHH-SU and you'll get basic root for apps. And even without it, shell root still works anyway.
So the backup partitions app is still saying it doesn't have root and shell root isn't working. What am I missing?
Dude I'm wondering if I'm in the same boat as you because I have the CPH2459_11_A.08 with the security patch dated 2022-09-05 oxygenOS version is 11.3 as well. Just like you. I've been stuck in the water trying to figure this out as well. Everyone seems to have the GN2200 and most of the guides here seem to be focused on that one.
Crud I need some details on this part and how to do it then.
Wait, I figured it out maybe. I went back and repeated these steps and then just sent the copy paste commands using telegram to my desktop pc on telegram (i know i know) and then pasted those exactly
Check it out.

I bought a brand new photon 4g and upon activating it.. I made the mistake of accepting the OTA 45.3.6 because now, despite all my efforts to root the device using AIO's, torpedo method, and even using the relatively new method that apparently works well with the Photon
@ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235376
Im about ready to give up. Ive had plenty of experience rooting and flashing my HTC Hero CDMA and Samsung Epic however, i was not expecting this.
It seems the main problem with the AIO's is that they are outdated and I am only receiving error messages upon clicking the batch file (yes i have debugging while USB on)
If anybody could help me or give me an alternative rooting method I would be greatful. Would unlocking the bootloader before trying to root make a difference? Again any help would be super appreciated because I've ready the forums and used TFSE and im still coming up stock.
So I'm really new to the Photon too (came from an Evo4G), and had updated to the latest OTA as well. I just rooted using this method, it worked great:
[ROOT] Photon Torpedo, dockless root access
More specifically, I followed the directions here. Note: I did get an error message near the end of that process, but just kept going, and it worked just fine.
I haven't unlocked the bootloader, so someone else will have to chime in for advice on that....
That worked! And I happened to find another set of directions that made things even easier:

I've tried Frama, Kingo and rootkhp all without success.
Any help?
Thanks
MAC
Are you sure that you have tried all these steps?
Thank you for the reply.
Yes, I have tried all those steps. When Framaroot runs I get a pop-up that says "Your device seems not vulnerable to exploit included in Framaroot"
Any other suggestions?
MAC
when i look at device list that can be exploited by framaroot here http://framaroot.net/devices.html, i cant find z320 anywhere. maybe we should wait for some more time for the developer team to work more effort.
Is the bootloader unlockable? Do you have stock images for the device? If you do have stock images and unlockable bootloader you can create a rooted image and flash it via fastboot. Just ask chainfire if it is okay for you to use his app and binary . And for how to unpack an image, google! How to repack, google!

I am not going to promise anything since I have school starting tomorrow and a bunch if tests but, if your bootloader is unlockable and you guys have stock ROM images I might be able to do it though I don't have the device to test on

i think we have to be more patience then.
thanks for the suggestion, tho.
really appreciate it.
TWRP is an open source, community project. TWRP development is done by roughly 4 people at this point. We also have a large support community with many people who are willing to answer questions and help people with their devices either through our IRC channel or on forums like xda-developers.

Hello,
I have a new moto E4 plus XT1773 variant with android 7.1.1 security patch from august 2018 and i am a bit confused with all these post about you need a special TWRP for your variant. My question is, will twrp-3.2.3-1-nicklaus.img work for my device?
I understand, the first step i need to do is unlock the bootloader and then flash the twrp-3.2.3-1-nicklaus.img file right? i won't need the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip or a patched boot image in order to a successful install?
I am trying to do all these things just to root it. Kinda difficult! i guess... I'd wish kingroot work!
Thanks in advance!
Regards.
Hi,
Newbie here so go easy!
Ive been changing the settings on an imported chinese tablet such as boot image, remove bloatware, download apps required, etc and it works great. However, I want to be able to create a full image of one tablet and transfer that to other tablets I buy so I dont have to manually do this every time. Basically a full backup and restore of everything on the tablet.
Can anyone assist on the best process to do this.
Thanks
If device's Android got rooted then you can perform a full NANDroid backup by means of either TWRP or FlashFire. FYI: ROOT is required for mounting all partitions as RW.

Hi, I worked out why flash fire was crashing, but some of the items in the app are greyed out so it doesn't allow a back up. I think its because I still have the standard recovery that came with the tablet instead of something like TWRP. And I cant find one online that will work.
Are there any other ways to do a full back up programmatically?
My phone is the CPH2459. I purchased it with the July 5, 2022/2022-07-05 Android Version.
1. I enabled developer mode.
2. I had enabled oem bootloader unlock
3. I had enabled "Disable Updates at startup
4. I has disabled automatic play store updates.
Two days go by and the phone goes behind my back and installs an Android 11 update so now I'm on Android 11 September 9, 2022/2022-09-05 update.
The phone tried to mention that it wanted to start the next update to Android S or some nonsense but I decided to stop right there and factory reset it.
After the reset, I'm still stuck on Android 11 September 9, 2022/2022-09-05 update.
Now tonight I want to try and continue rooting this phone unless there is a way to rollback to original Android 11 July 5, 2022/2022-07-05 Android Version.
What would be my next steps. I have downloaded everything I've been suggested to a usb so I can keep working on this step by step. You guys are awesome for sharing this information. Thank you for what you do.
Absolutely! And thank you. Heading home now so Ill shoot you my info.
Once I get familiar with getting this to run on one os I should be able to save copies and then jump back and forth right? I always wonder if it will be like how samsung and other manufacturers sabotage attempts to downgrade and other such annoyances.
So I would go here?

Then I would download which one of these stock boot images?
Followed by which Firmware version?
Just want to make sure I'm on track. None of them say US version, so I'm assuming Global version?
I'd like to know if he ever backed up his rom...I could use a copy.
I see. May I send you a pm?
