Press power+volume button for more than 10sec and your device will boot into fastboot . Then you can flash your device using MiFlash Tool.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] lars0x00:
Like I said I can’t boot to FastBoot neither Recovery because it just keeps on blackscreen and vibrates once and will restart. And it will repeat until the battery is out.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] akash shaky:
Just relaxed the phone for 1 and 2 hour then try to boot on fastboot mod.(not while charging)

If I would do what you said, I will need to let the battery drain first. But, when I open it again using the FastBoot/Recovery method, it will just repeat. The problem will still appear.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidferret:
The root programs either don't work or are run by

extremely shady companies like KingoRoot. If I ask something here, no one answer or I get incomplete answers.

There's contradictory information everywhere, like I heard I need root to be able to install a custom recovery.

And I heard I need to install the custom recovery to be able to root. Wtf?

Even the guys who create the programs like Clockworkmod provide no info, where is clockwork recovery?

Why is it conspicuously missing from the creator's website? Why does TWRP also provide no info on their website?

Is this some conspiracy to keep rooting out of the reach of anyone but the android elite?

I have seriously never seen such a frustrating mess in my entire career in IT of over 20 years.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EXA Lab:
Because the software rooting method is find security hole on device an exploit it. But Google has strengthened the security that was first put in place in Lollipop, essentially making it unfeasible to launch the su daemon with the required permissions just by modifying the /system partition. So only Systemless Root method will work on Marshmallow or above.

For how to root Marshmallow device, I suggest you to take a look at SuperSU forum.

Hope this help you:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidferret:
Thanks a lot! Could you tell me do I need to root it before I can flash a custom recovery like TWRP or Clockwork Recovery or can I flash those with fastboot regardless of the the tablet being rooted?

I was able to unlock the bootloader.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Augustoandro:
If you are using fastboot, you don't need to worry about root.

You can flash recovery with fastboot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EXA Lab:
If you have a device with unlocked bootloader, then rooting it is easy.

First what you need to prepare:

1. A PC that have adb and fastboot installed

2. A custom recovery that match your device (TWRP Recovery for example)

3.. Enable the Usb Debugging on your device

How to:

1. Connect your PC and device with cable

2. Open cmd and enter this command:

adb reboot bootloader

3.Once your device boots into bootloader mode, enter this command:

fastboot flash recovery \Path-where-you-stored-the-twrp-file\twrp.img

4. Once TWRP is successfully flashed on your device, run the following command:

fastboot reboot

After that, you can boot into twrp recovery and install the SuperSU zip file to root the device.

Thats it, the usual way to root an android device. But if your device brand is Samsung, you have to flash recovery throught odin.

Hope this solve your problem.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
OK, perusing the LG website there are two strange 998 models showing up that are NOT connected to any carriers. Says "for LRA" and "for ACG". But for carrier-branded models, they don't share that format -- those just have "model name | carrier name". (See screenshot$ below.)

The LRA is for US998, I assume open market for North America. The ACG is AS998, for what, Asia?

These two are listed last in the V30 models and I cannot find out what LRA or ACG means, but there's

also LG G6 models with those designations -- as well as other LG phones with those designations.

I ASSUME it has something to do with the open market phones, but I don't know what LRA or ACG stands for.

And it has NOTHING to do with color, as the "LRA" model is silver, like the U.S. Cellular Silver model. (The B&H US998 does come in silver.)

So, has nothing to do with carrier or color, so what else is there? I assume these are the open market phones that will receive bootloader unlock? But I never heard of an Asian open market phone.

LRA

https://www.lg.com/us/products/wtb?modelId=MD05892777

ACG

http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-AS998-ACG-lg-v30

Here's a screenshot comparing the silver U.S. Cellular model to the "LRA" and "ACG" model. You can clearly see it does not have the same carrier designation and strangely is also listed sort of in the color, but yet has nothing to do with color.

___________

Here's several carrier models and the LRA and ACG models listed together:

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] AliLaPointe:
Interesting. MyLgphones.com says that the KDZ for the AS998 is live on LG Bridge.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
OK, so these are regional CDMA/LTE carriers who often partner with Verizon for roaming. They are not MVNOs, but smaller, rural standalone carriers with their own spectrum.

I know about these, so that's good news.

They often get the same model phone Verizon gets but sometimes under different model name. For instance the U.S.Moto Maxx XT1250 = Verizon Droid Turbo XT1254. Same bands, same FCC ID, everything. You could run it on Verizon with a Verizon LTE SIM card. And had easily unlocked bootloader. It was basically the dev version of the Droid Turbo.

Probably won't be so lucky here, LG probably has them locked down also.

I CAN write on all of my friend's walls when logged on from my laptop but I CANNOT do so from the android FB app. So to be clear, I am not blocked by anyone (that I know of lol). I have deleted data, folder and then the app, rebooted my phone and reinstalled the FB app once again to see if that would fix the problem but nothing. I still can't write on anyone's wall from my phone.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dratsablive:
Safetynet checks for Bootloader Status, unlocked doesn't pass.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TheSt33v:
Custom roms often make changes at the kernel level to block safetynet's ability to check the bootloader status, which makes it pass (for now). Magisk also hides bootloader unlock status from safetynet. So there are workarounds.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] cdnutter:
THE FUTURE IS LOOKING GREAT!

Now that [MENTION=8363210]sToRm//[/MENTION] has released the long anticipated DRM fix for this magnificant phone. Should we start to see an increase in ROM development? Hopefully.

Background​

After owning an OnePlus One (and a 2 for a brief time), the ROM development scene made the phone a beast. It was my phone for 4 years and will continue to be (in my opinion) the Holy Grail of development for Android. That phone is what brought me to this community, and why I may never switch back to Apple. This phone is the perfect phone to a lot of people including myself and I would love to see some ROMs being developed, Mods like MultiROM being produced, and more like that. I currently would like to develop a port of LineageOS to this phone however there are some concerns I have.

Concerns​

I posted about this in the TWRP thread here about an issue when restoring from a Nandroid backup with TWRP how it ends in a specific error and leaves the phone bootlooped at the Sony logo. I got a response from [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] here mentioning how this error isn't something [MENTION=8363210]sToRm//[/MENTION] or [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] could fix. I have seen countless other posts around the internet but I have not seen a fix that works. It has something to do with storage sizes as [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] mentioned in his reply.

The reason I bring up the TWRP issue is because producing custom ROMs requires a LOT of flashing and backing up ( I assume) and being able to restore would be really huge. Especially since restoring to stock requires a computer and newflasher. Once an issue like this is solved, I (and a lot of others) are most likely willing to dive into development. I really would like to start developing ROMs for Android phones as well as Mods for Magisk. If MultiROM was on the XZ Premium (which I understand would be a stretch), I think that would be very impressive.

Conclusion​

The first post will be reserved for cool mods or updates on upcoming mods. This thread will change once the TWRP concerns are fixed to more of a "Mod Database" for this phone. I felt like making this post as it is a way to inform the users of this issue and also attempt to further start development on the XZ Premium. I'd like to thank [MENTION=8363210]sToRm//[/MENTION] for the DRM fix and to other developers who are willing to jump on the bandwagon like me and tear this phone apart. It is a fantastic phone, and I feel we should do something about that.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] someone755:
What do you think a DRM fix will accomplish when it comes to development? Anything Lineage- or AOSP-based will not profit from this tweak, although it will attract more people to unlock their bootloaders, and by extension more people who will inevitably brick their phones and spam the Forums for help.

Also why is this in the 'Development' forum?
