INFINIX HOT S 3 ROOTING PROCEDURE WITH LOCKED BOOTLOADER
Things You must First Do
1. Install Qualcomm drivers for your PC
2. Learn how to remove the device back cover:
3. Learn how to boot the device to EDL mode :
4. Learn how to backup your device full firmware with a box like miracle box or cracked version :
5. Learn how to flash firmware with QFIL tool version 2.0.1.9 :
PROCEDURE 1
1. Get hold of your device full stock firmware. Some build numbers do not have stock firmware especially my Hot S3 build number do not have correct stock firmware.
2. Install latest official magisk manager apk.
3. Copy stock boot.img to your device internal storage.
4. Launch magisk manager app, select install magisk 18.1v or any version that will appear, there will be an options select patch boot.img. Now locate where you stored your boot.img. After patch magisk will show you the location of the patched bootimg.
5. Copy the patched boot.img into the device firmware folder. Remove the original boot.img from the firmware folder and save it somewhere and rename the patched boot.img to boot.img.
6. Now launch the QFIL tool and flash using the previous procedure.
7. After successful flash, boot to the device recovery (Volume up + power button) wipe partition and factory wipe, then power off and reboot.
8. After reboot update Google play store and services sign into your account successfully to have a recognize certify device. Install magisk manager apk. Launch magisk manager app, update and install any other updates that will pop up. Every installed thing in magisk will show green.
9. Reboot. The device successfully rooted.
NOTE:
1. Those who have their correct official firmware and have tested and working correctly, there will be firehose file, patch0 file, rawprogram0 files, NON-HLOS file. These are the necessary files for the flashing.
2. Those who don't have the correct stock firmware use the backup firmware from the miracle and rename these files as;
boot= boot.img
Cache= cache.img
dummy= dummy.img
misc= misc.img
persist= persist.img
recovery= recovery.img
splash= splash.img
system= system.img
userdata= userdata.img
aboot= emmc_appsboot.mbn
Modem=NON-HLOS bin
The rest of the files add .mbn to it end.
You need:
patch0.xml
rawprogram0.xml
prog_emmc_firehose_8937_ddr.mbn
if you don't have these files I will upload my full prepared stock firmware so that you take all the necessary files from it into yours and flash.
But if you have any downloaded stock HOT S 3 firmware with only one system and vendor inside you can use it.
3. Those who have their stock firmware, if the system and vendor in the folder is in multiple form meaning more than one ( system and vendor are in parts) you can't use QFIL tool to flash, it require different flash tool. Use your backup firmware.
4. If any find things difficult I will upload my stock firmware so that all builds can use to create their own stock firmware.
Thank you.
5. After every flash try to remove battery cable and replace for some seconds when the device cover is opened.
6. At a point where the device refuse to boot or power off, long press power button to power off or reboot.
7. Do not be in haste, take your time to follow all these procedures to avoid the device going dead. Because a device does not go dead in my hands. It may brick but when you use good and required flash files everything will be okay.
With ease, convenience and future developments for the device I have created Facebook group for that because some informations are hard to come by. I have posted a lot of help in different forums, nobody seems to help, so this how far I have gone. Now trying to Port custom recovery like twrp for the device even though bootloader is locked.
Procedure 2
1. Follow procedure 1 to backup device
2. Patch boot.img with magisk manager
3. Copy patched image rename as boot.img into backup folder.
4. Flash only the patched boot.img by any supported tool.
5. Reboot device install magisk manager apk reboot and update magisk done.
Those who have already rooted or gone far with the device can join the facebook group or provide me better links. Thanks

I'm not getting your device blinking well but;
1. Make sure your device driver 9008 in edl mode installed well. When you open device manager you must see driver 9008 for your device. Download driver
https://www.allmobitools.com/download/Qualcomm_HS_USB_QDLoader_9008_Driver_Download.zip
2. If you are using windows 10 make sure you disable driver signature before installing any driver on your computer
3. Make sure you disconnect and reconnect battery cable on the board before and after every connection.
4. Use the miracle tutorial when you see driver Qloader 9008 in device manager after connecting device.
5. You must connect the two edl points well. Poor connection boot to battery charge.
6. Use miracle 2.82 version

Where did you get the .bak firmware files? Qfil can't flash such firmware. Use mobilsea tool or emmc tool.

Me four. I want to root my A5 2020
Can you boot into bootloader? Cause i can't stay in bootloader mode.
Me 5..
Setting - about phone - tap "version" 7 times
Additional option - developer option - oem unlock bootloader
Tried download ota
Extracted from phone manager.. and got boot.img
But magisk say its corrupted.. maybe it cant read it.. some says to use its recovery.img but i cant find it.. im a noob in rooting so i cant opt to experiment
Tried these things (3rd might be a possiible solution)
1.)
I tried using the OTA update which is a .ozip file, and needs a certain key to be usable (Needs to be decrypted to zip), key differs depending on the device
as for reference:
filedesc.com/en/file/ozip
tried tools such as
github.com/bkerler/oppo_ozip_decrypt
(But with no luck, A5 2020 isn't supported)
2.)
I found something on the web which is the CPH1931_11_A.08_190905_cb4610de.ofp
which i cannot decrypt to get the boot.img file
3.)
If your willing to take the risk, i found this
forum.gsmdevelopers.com/oppo-android-unified/84350-oppo-a5-2020-cph1931-dead-boot-alive-akshay-bhandare.html
which leads to the boot.img here (Just extract then you'll find boot.bin, change the file extension to boot.img (Just replace/rename .bin to .img))
mediafire.com/file/8kb8ilgz0mxaga3/OPPO_A5_2020%2528CPH1931_%2529DEAD_BOOT_ALIVE_BY_AKSHAY_BHANDARE.rar/file
(If link doesn't work anymore, ill upload the one I've downloaded already)
I tried patching this using Magisk and it works, but i haven't tried flashing it to A5 2020
Thank u so much[/QUOTE]

yes!it works...
Can more people (mainly the ones who allrdy did comment in this thread) confirm method 3 is working?
I updated to CPH1931EX_11_A.28. Do i need a patched boot.img of CPH1931EX_11_A.28 or can i use any boot.img of all versions?
I wanted to know if the boot.img for all versions is the same.

You were able to patch the boot.img with magisk?
Did you flash the patched boot.img to phone successfully? If so, its safe to use the boot.img provided in the link?
Are you rooted now?

Ok, i tried to get in fastboot mode with command adb reboot bootloader. I do get the fastboot logo screen for a second, but then it just loading the OS pie 9, like someone stated here before. I read in some sources, OPPO company disabled the fastboot mode for this phone, so you will not able to flash files using adb. I also read power + volume down = recovery mode (working) and power + volume up = fastboot mode (not working because company disabled this).
I use firmware CPH1931EX_11_A.28. Now the big question: does somebody know, if some older version of firmware has fastboot not disabled by company?
Seems for now, you can only root this phone by using hardware tools like miracle box and easy jtag pro.

I also using CPH1931EX_11_A.28 and have exact same bootloader problem.
I manage to extract boot.img from 11_A.13 and 11_A.28 firmwares using "ubuntu ozip to zip" and files appear identical and patched successfully using Magisk. The boot.img provided in the link is not the same, I wouldn't use it.
Did you find out if some older version of firmware has fastboot not disabled by company?
Many thanks for taking time to read reply.

merhaba s7'm var artı t970'im var nasıl rootlayacağız
Translation: hello i have s7 plus i have t970 how do we root
I followed this guide below that I found somewhere in this forum, it is not mine, I just added some notes to it. I recommend searching for the original thread. There could also be a newer firmware version now, please check yours before rooting. It has been almost 2 months since I did it.
Unlock OEM (under developer options)
Boot in download mode (with the tablet powered down, press volume up + volume down and connect USB cable to PC)
Long press volume up to unlock bootloader (you will lose all your data!)
Download the original firmware ( https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-tab-s7/firmware/SM-T970/XAR/download/T970XXU1ATJ4/502568/ )
Flash it using ODIN in download mode (Optional, just to make sure you are using the same image you are going to patch)
Extract boot.img.lz4 from AP_xxxx tar file.
Decompress the lz4 to get the uncompressed boot.img (I had to use a separate tool since 7zip was not able to compress/uncompress the lz4 archive, https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases )
Copy the file to the tablet
Patch it using the latest Magisk Manager. ( https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk)
Copy the patched boot image back to the PC.
Recompress it as boot.img.tar (rename magisk_patched.img to boot.img then compress as boot.img.tar)
Flash it using AP slot in Odin and reboot tablet. (I had to do a full factory reset)
Install Magisk again
For AdAway to work you will need to enable systemless module in Magisk
You are done! Magisk manager should say now it is rooted. (you will also have a BIG warning every time the tablet is powered on, telling you how irresponsible and despicable you are by modifying the device)
I rooted my Samsung S20 before by following this guide
it is very similar to what is described above.

@simerenya Please use English on XDA Forums. If you want, you can use the translating service of your choice. See the forum rules for more details.
@BigBucha I suggest that you do not link to that particular website for Magisk downloads (or any other website that pretends to be the Magisk website). None of those websites are run by @topjohnwu and in the best case they're just re-hosting the files to get ad-revenues, but in the worst case you'll download a malicious version of Magisk. That wouldn't be good. The only place for sure and safe downloads of Magisk is on @topjohnwu's Github: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk
@Didgeridoohan , understood, thanks! I didn't know about Magisk's official web site, just googled it. I updated my previous post.
@simerenya,
Not sure if I understood your question. I used google translate.
You asked for a screen-sharing session?
I have done rooting of this tablet model only once myself, that was 2 months ago, not sure if I can be of much help to you.
Please try following the guide step by step yourself. If in doubt, I recommend not doing this since you may brick your tablet.
You can post your questions in the forum if you get stuck or brick your device. I will try to answer them.
I was able to root my tablet from the first try.
Good luck.
Is it possible to root Galaxy tab s7+ using Kingroot, kingoroot, towelroot, or any of the other 1 click rooting apps?

I followed this guide below that I found somewhere in this forum, it is not mine, I just added some notes to it. I recommend searching for the original thread. There could also be a newer firmware version now, please check yours before rooting. It has been almost 2 months since I did it.
Unlock OEM (under developer options)
Boot in download mode (with the tablet powered down, press volume up + volume down and connect USB cable to PC)
Long press volume up to unlock bootloader (you will lose all your data!)
Download the original firmware ( https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-tab-s7/firmware/SM-T970/XAR/download/T970XXU1ATJ4/502568/ )
Flash it using ODIN in download mode (Optional, just to make sure you are using the same image you are going to patch)
Extract boot.img.lz4 from AP_xxxx tar file.
Decompress the lz4 to get the uncompressed boot.img (I had to use a separate tool since 7zip was not able to compress/uncompress the lz4 archive, https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases )
Copy the file to the tablet
Patch it using the latest Magisk Manager. ( https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk)
Copy the patched boot image back to the PC.
Recompress it as boot.img.tar (rename magisk_patched.img to boot.img then compress as boot.img.tar)
Flash it using AP slot in Odin and reboot tablet. (I had to do a full factory reset)
Install Magisk again
For AdAway to work you will need to enable systemless module in Magisk
You are done! Magisk manager should say now it is rooted. (you will also have a BIG warning every time the tablet is powered on, telling you how irresponsible and despicable you are by modifying the device)
I rooted my Samsung S20 before by following this guide
it is very similar to what is described above.

Thanks for the instruction. I was finally installed magdisk on S7+ tab. Root check is good. But some app like adaway does not detect root and never ask for root access when installed. Do you know how to solve this?

Not sure about other apps, but for AdAway to work I had to do these steps:
1. Open Magisk
2. Go to Modules (the jigsaw icon)
3. Install "Systemless Hosts" module
4. Reboot and try selecting root mode in AdAway again

Did you successfully unlock bootloader? My phone was not locked to any mobile carrier. Please paste a screenshot.
Anyone has a quick guide to updating from rooted A11 to rooted A12
Make multiple backups. You will lose all data, no matter what. Also, TWRP is broken.
Download an A12 update ZIP.
Extract it, then extract the AP file.
Plug device into PC. Ensure USB Debugging is enabled, and that you permanently trust the current computer when you are prompted.
Use terminal or CMD to reboot to Download mode: "adb reboot download"
Open Odin3 PatcheD
Check the box for AP
Click the AP button
Select the stock AP file (or just the super.img.lz4 file, which I did.)
Wait for Odin to finish checking the file
Click the Start button
Go through the setup on device, you can skip everything.
Go to Settings and enable Developer Options.
Ensure USB Debugging is enabled, and that you permanently trust the current computer when you are prompted.
Use terminal or CMD to reboot to Download mode: "adb reboot download"
On the PC, extract the AP .tar.md5 file
Once extracted, select the boot.img.lz4 and the vbmeta.img.lz4, then add them to a ".tar" archive using a program such as 7zip.
Copy the new .tar file to any device with the Magisk app on it (even if the device is not rooted)
Open the Magisk app, click "Install"
Click "Select and patch a file"
Choose the .tar file you copied to the device
Click "Install"
Magisk will tell you where the patched file is located.
Locate the patched magisk file, then copy it to your computer.
Flash the RMM fix by following the steps here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-binaries-are-allowed-to-be-flashed.3893592/
In Odin3 PatcheD, check the box for AP
Click the AP button
Select the patched file from magisk
Click the Start button
BOOM. You're rooted. Set up the device for real this time to get your backups copied over properly.

Which model do you have? Do you mean to say you have the T870? If so, check here.
I should also mention that I wrote this guide under the assumption that there is an Android 12 update available for your device, but it's for a different region. I do not condone doing this on any model other than the T970, and I am not responsible if your stuff breaks, ESPECIALLY if you try this on models other than the T970.
Hi @nooted1 , I keep getting the following error:
partion abl
Reason abl: Hash of data does not match digest in descriptor. [2nd] (3)
Wonder if you know what is the issue?
I flash the AP file for SM-T970-KOO using Odin 3 PatchedD on my US SM-T970 model.
Thanks in advance.

Are you using the modded version of Odin3B? You'll need to search around for it. I'm using the modded version.

"Tab s7 wifi" does not tell me your model number though. The model will be something like SM-T870, SM-T970, SM-T976B, etc.
I got an error flashing the Korean A12 AP on US t970. Hash Data does not match in descriptor. Going to flash back the original
Edit: Sorry, wrong thread
Been skimming through messages but not finding a clear answer or haven't seen it asked... I have a SM-T878U (Tab S7 LTE/5G). Can I flash Korean or European firmware on it? Normally I'd know not to however, they share the same chipset AFAIK but don't wanna factory reset my set up if it isn't going to even work.
Any ideas?

Thank you for these instructions!
I am curious: your instructions don't mention BL..., CSC... nor HOME_CSC...
Until now I flashed AP/BL/CSC the first time and Magisk-patched-AP/BL/HOME_CSC when updating. Are BL and (HOME)_)CSC nop longer needed?

CSC doesn't seem to matter for WiFi-only models. Personally my goal in trying this was to get to Android 12 while changing as little as possible, since I do not know the possible outcome of trying to flash a foreign BL/CSC/etc to my T970. I waited for the official A12 version for my T970 with XAR as CSC, and *then* I flashed all of those.
One thing I can say for sure, though, is that AP is all that's needed for rooting with Magisk. And not even all of the AP, just boot and vbmeta.

I may be wrong on this, but my understanding is that very few devices are capable of retaining root after relocking the bootloader. My recent experiments with the OnePlus 8 proved that it's definitely possible, but as I am only a hobbyist tinkerer I do not know how or why this is or isn't possible on different devices.

Sorry to hear that. The good news is that at this point the A12 update has been released for most (if not all) regions and variants, though you may need to search multiple Samsung firmware download sites to find your specific version.
i'm a sound lover, so i rooted my Samsung to get Viper4AndroidFx working.
I guess that this method is almost universal for Samsung devices, bit i'm not sure about that so be careful with this.
-you will void warranty for your device-
--Root access on the SM-A21F with the newest Firmware(A217FXXU8DVG4) update and Android 12--
if you are new to all of this search for all the things need first.(I used just heimdall for flashing, because JOdin3CASUAL throws error at me because of a corrupted pit file, don't know how to workaround this)
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT FIRMWARE FOR THE FLASH!!!
Needs:
-Linux Machine for flashing tool Heimdall(try ubuntu studio for sound experience)
sudo apt install heimdall
There is also a frontend(GUI) for this tool:
sudo apt install heimdall-frontend
(install heimdall first, then the frontend)
-samloader Firmware tool(search for instructions to get the right Firmware)
-lz4 compression librarys to decompress the boot.img from stock firmware
-Magisk app(magisk from f-droid works)
-USB debugging allowed and OEM unlock enabled on your Samsung phone(search for developer options to do this and long press vol-up in Download mode)
1. get the firmware with samloader, decode,decompress,rename to ZIP and open the archive.Decompress the AP section, decompress the boot.img.lz4
2.put the boot.img on your phones storage to patch it with Magisk.
3.put the patched boot.img back on your Computer in a new folder and rename it back to it's original name boot.img
-make sure your phone is charged before you flash the image!
4.connect your device in download mode to the Computer(for SM-A217F:turn off the phone, press vol+ and vol- hold it both and connect the USB cable)
5.open a terminal window in the new folder where the patched and renamed boot.img is placed and type sudo heimdall print-pit, it shows the partition table of your device, for --BOOT you can also type the number of the partition as it's shown in the pit file)
sudo heimdall flash --BOOT boot.img
If anything goes wrong you can always flash back the original boot.img from downloaded stock firmware or unroot your device this way.
After this your device is rooted but there is no Twrp custom recovery for ths model yet.
The unofficial release which can be found on xda doesn't work for me. I've flashed it but got stuck in download mode.
Flashing works fine with other rooting tools but there is no way to get rid of the unrooted stock recovery yet.
I cannot guarantee you that this guide won't Brick your phone. Just be careful with the re-partition options in Odin, if you want to use it. All the work can be done with linux, heimdall and magisk.
heimdall print-pit will show the partititition table from your device.
--+no warranties. What works for me must not work for others.
For everyone who wants to root and no method has worked for him, or you have errors, or your device has not booted after the root.
You can follow the following explanation
Firstly, I used sm-a217f/ds phone
The baseband version is A217FXXU8DVG4
And its protection is U8
Android 12
First of all, you must disable the bootloader ... and this is very important so that no errors occur ... and also do a factory reset for your phone. So you should transfer all your important files before that
1- Get your official ROM from any trusted site
2- Decompress the ROM file and it will show you all the ROM files AP - BL - CP - CSC - HOME_CSC
3- Take the AP file and transfer it to your phone
4- Then download the latest version of the Magisk application
5- Then open the application and inject the AP file into it
6- The injection process takes a relatively long time. I think it takes five minutes or less, depending on the size of the AP file
7- After the injection process is complete, you will find the file that was injected with Magisk in the download files
8- Take the injected file and put it into the computer
9- Then open the Odin application and put the file that was injected into the AP box
10- Put all the rest of the files in your ROM file into Odin
11- We cancel the autorun mode from Odin
12- Then press Start
13- After the process is completed, restart the phone and remove the USB cable, and the phone will ask you to do a factory reset again, and press OK
14- Now the phone supports root
15- After unlocking the phone, install the Magisk app again
16- The application will ask you to download an additional component, click OK, and the phone will restart again
17- Now you have a rooted phone that has been linked to the Magisk application
I think this is the easiest explanation of rooting in detail
And good luck to all of you.
