How to Root the Lenovo M10 3rd Gen 2022 (TB328FU / TB328XU)? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't find any information about this anywhere. There is only this post which gives instructions for the M10 Plus model, while specifying that they won't work for the basic M10.
I got the firmware both via Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant, and also via the Lenovo lolinet images site, but the firmware is just a .pac file, and does not contain a boot.img. Using the SPD Flash Tool, I extracted all the .img files from the .pac firmware file, but there is no boot.img. Magisk is unable to patch any of the img files that do exist within the firmware. Additionally there is no payload.bin to work with in the firmware.
There is also this guide for the Plus model which requires fastboot flashing, but none of the commands work:
fastboot oem unlock-go, fastboot flashing unlock, fastboot flashing unlock_critical, even if I could get a boot.img.
How can I get root on this tablet?
Thank you.

Need help recovering from soft brick

Hi everyone,
I have an 10.8 inch wifi only tablet imported from China, non-pro, model CMR-W09C00 which was running firmware B123.
I was playing around trying to convert it to a global firmware and tried to flash it with the same firmware 123 but for CMR-W09C432 using Huawei Firmware Finder.
Turns out this was a pretty bad idea
Now the tablet is not booting and I can't figure out how to recover. Here's what I tried:
1. eRecovery is not working, it downloads the firmware completely and tries to install but fails. It did work fully once before I tried to flash the wrong firmware.
2. Wiping cache and data partition does nothing
3. I have access to fastboot and can unlock/lock the bootloader at will.
4. I have the full-OTA zip file for the original firmware CMR-W09C00B123 and have extracted all the img files contained in update.app
5. I'm trying / hoping to flash images to recover (with bootloader unlocked) but I'm a bit confused at this step.
All the instructions I found in my research mention mostly flashing just boot.img, system.img and recovery.img but I'm missing some of those files from the update.app or I guess they could be named differently. I don't have a boot.img, just a fastboot.img which I'm sure is not the same. I also don't have a recovery.img, just recovery_ramdis, recovery_vbmeta, recovery_vendor, erecovery_ramdis, erecovery_vendo, erecovery_vbmet and erecovery_kerne.
I was able to flash system.img successfully but that didn't help.
Also tried to use the unbrick feature from Huawei Multi-Tool but here again I seem to be missing image files. Multi-Tool says it needs system.img, ramdisk.img, cust.img, ramdisk_recovery.img and userdata.img.
Of those, I think I'm missing cust.img for sure, ramdisk_recovery I might have but it's named differently (recovery_ramdis) and userdata.img I don't think I really need.
I'm attaching a txt file with a list of all the img files I do have in case it can be useful or rings a bell for someone.
Oh yeah, I also tried flashboot update update.zip but it's only giving me this warning:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
error: update package 'update.zip' has no android-info.txt
So...does anyone have any advice or suggestions? Is there a better method to recover that I missed?
Any help is appreciated!
Flash the ramdisk.img to ramdisk and report back please. I have an M3 that is in the same condition as yours, but I am on an extended deployment and won't be able to test this for at least another month :/

Thanks for taking the time to the reply mate, sorry to hear about your M3.
I tried fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img and it said flashed successfully but the device is still not booting. Nothing else seems to have changed either.
Let me know if I misunderstood what you wanted to try or if you have any other ideas.
Cheers

I think I am in a similar spot. I went from a custom ROM back to stock, but now all attempts at installing full OTAs fail. Did you ever figure this out how to fix it?
Thanks

Install Original ROM Huawei on Y6 2018 Brand TIM Italy.

How should I install an original Huawei rom , no brand, downloaded from their cloud?
The name file is: ATU-L11C55CUSTC55D1B150 (8.0.0.150).zip
the ROM is a .zip with the files in the photo inside:
I tried the procedure to extract the update.app file and put it in the dlod folder of the SD card, but it does not install.
I have the privileges of ROOT and I have unlocked the bootloader, I can not install the
* TWRP Recovery.
Help!
since it is not possible to install the ROM version "update.APP", unzipping this with "HuaweiUpdateExtractor", which files should I flash with fastboot in bootloader mode?
Is this possible?
Yes, use the HuaweiUpdateExtractor and flash the system.img with fastboot.
Best regards
Yes, use the HuaweiUpdateExtractor and flash the system.img with fastboot.

which files should I flash?
you need to download the full rom, go here: https://www.mobileheadlines.net/download-huawei-y6-2018-firmware-files-all-versions/
download the FullOTA-MF for your model and extract the zip, after that use huaweiupdateextractor on the update.app and extract SYSTEM.img
reboot into bootloader and flash the extracted SYSTEM.img to your phone using fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
please make a tutorial thread. i want to use the original rom too.

yes I know, there's a guy, the one who gave me the bootloader code, that wants $ 20 to debrandize it, too much for so little ..

sc7731e - I Can't unpack / repack stock recovery.img (identical to boot.img)

Hello.
I am attempting to root blu c4 (c050L), which has spreadtrum sc7731e board.
Kingroot from PC won't root the device.
While trying to port TWRP, I discovered I am unable to even pack / repack the original recovery.img
I can flash the original one, but after packing/repacking with Android Image kitchen by osmosis, I can no longer flash that file through spd research tool.
I also tried [Hovatek] Spreadtrum (SPD) Auto TWRP Recovery Porter V1.2 by Team Hovatek, but I can't flash the resulting img files, either.
https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZVYsG7Z3jU6r8JLVU44JTeKYjac0zH6OpwV
recovery.img file, in case anybody can help me
Blu C4 is running oreo go 8.1
Stock Recovery says: "supported API:3 // 8.1.0/OPM2.171019.012/30512"
Fastboot doesn't support unlocking (already set oem unlock on developer settings)
So far
In order to flash modified boot.img and recovery.img, I had to switch the original fdl1-sign.bin and fdl2-sign.bin for ones I extracted from an A140 stock rom (another SC7731e device)
I attached them to this post
However, the boot is probably signed. You can read:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65443271&postcount=844
In that case, a signing would be required - out of luck.
Any luck. I have the same unit and want to root it. Any kind of help will be appreciated.
Thanks

How can I root my Xperia X?

I've already unlocked the bootloader with fastboot and I tried installing Magisk zip (which before was a .apk) via TWRP but it didn't work.
I've also downloaded the stock firmware to find the boot.img to patch via Magisk, but I found this list of .sin files when I opened the stock firmware folder.
I tried to google how to covert a .sin boot file to a .img one, and I found a guide ( https://www.droidwin.com/extract-so...img-file/#STEP_1_Download_Sony_Stock_Firmware ) which uses Sony Dump Tool ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/sony_dump_tool-zip.4865161/ ), guide where unfortunately there is only one boot_X-FLASH-ALL-2389.sin file. I have many .sin files instead.
(List of a screenshot of my stock firmware files attached)
A big thanks to everyone will reply to me.

How to flash Nokia G11 Plus

Can I safely flash new firmware on my nokia g11 Plus using "SP Flash Tool"?
They say that the program is for flashing devices based on the mediatek processor, but from what I know the nokia g11 plus has a Unisoc T606 processor?
Is there any other software to upload firmware to this phone model?
I want to flash Stock ROM

Thanx for answer, so i already have the program.
I have searched for several hours for software but all of them are just in .Bin format :c and the program requires a firmware in .Pac format
Strange because I downloaded the firmware from the given link.
Payload.Bin could be installed via recovery but on nokia g11 plus it is so poor it only has three useless options like reboot or turn of device :v
the file you have is not full firmware (because of the small file size) it's more likely just incremental OTA update file.
you can however have a look inside with payload dumper.
[TOOL] A QUICK Android OTA payload dumper
Made with Go. By utilizing goroutines, this can extract img files from (full) OTA payload.bin really quickly. See how fast this is: https://i.imgur.com/adpijqf Source Code: https://github.com/ssut/payload-dumper-go Prebuilt binaries...

Yeah right, it is OTA, If I don't find StockRom, I won't fix this brick, soo annoying cuz there is no .Spd firmware to flash in internet.
I even searched on Chinese forums, such a charm of these phones?
can only find 1.8gb OTA update.zip flashable for recovery mode.
maybe ask nokia support. or contact this guy (see unbrick EDL Package)
