[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
If you do the full flash with AP, CSC, CP and BL you shouldn't have any issues. The vibration/camera issues are usually caused by having a BL version that doesn't match your AP.

However the last 7.0 release locked phones from downgrading via Odin, I would have expected this to carry into Oreo
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] snowqwer:
All you need to do is download the latest version of nougat and flash.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] lasic.2000:
Well I flashed an older one - FXXS2DRAA and unfortunately it failed at Odin, after rebooting told me to use emergency option in Smartswitch. Flashed back to 8.0 no problem though.

Hi, put the fone on download again and reflash 8.0, that is all. I maked.
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] MainGoldDragon:
First of all I need to preface this by saying I know nothing about rooting.

I have a Nokia 3, Model TA-1020, Android version 8.0.0 (which apparently is Oreo, even though I got this phone as a Nougat) and Android Security patch level May 5, 2018.

From all the research I attempted to do regarding rooting a Nokia 3, most times it would be for a specific model (which apparently is important) but never TA-1020 (the one I have).

So it makes me wonder if I can root my phone. I don't want to do anything serious, just to basically give root access to a couple of apps (from what I understand).

Any guidance would be helpful if it is possible.
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] bubba1601:
There is already a thread and tutorial on XDA for rooting the nokia 3 (TA1020 and TA1032) on Nougat 7.1.1 and Oreo 8.0.0

Here is the link.

https://xdaforums.com/nokia-3/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-twrp-magisk-t3785768

The important stuff......

You have received an android 8.0 update - so your device is an Oreo device.

It does not matter what was on the device when you purchased it - for future reference, just quote your current android version - Never quote previous versions or what was on the device when you brought it, as I can guarantee someone will see NOUGAT in your post and assume you have a Nougat device.:eek:

(Things like that cause all sorts of confusion and issues here that if you was to follow the incorrect instructions you would brick your device and render it unusable)

I'm also using a Nokia 3 TA1020 on Oreo (8.0.0)

After reading the rooting thread I've decided not to proceed with rooting my own Nokia 3.

As the procedure isn't very clear and it seems many users have had issues afterwards.

If you know NOTHING about rooting I suggest you also stay well clear of trying to root your nokia 3 - it's a very complicated process that even I'm not confident enough to try - and believe me Ive rooted many devices in the past!

With the Nokia, it's not a case of flashing a file in a custom recovery to gain root - there are several things you must do using a PC and complicated button combinations and perfect timing.

You get any of this wrong or miss a step you have a rather useless paperweight rather than a Nokia phone and trying to root will invalidate and void any remaining warranty your device may have left.

Ask yourself why you need root?

If you root your device, you have to keep the system recovery as if you flash a custom recovery you won't receive any system updates.

Also if you do keep your system recovery and receive a system updates you have to go through the process of rooting all over again and system updates can then fail, as confirmed by users in the other thread......

Newer android versions (8.1 and 9.0) will also block some of things users get round using substratum and xposed.

These apps will be almost useless in android 9.0 because Google is taking away the ability for rooted devices to change system UIs and draw over any apps.

Most xposed modules will be obsolete.

Obviously what you do is your own choice, I'm just saying it's not for me and I really don't want to try.

There isn't not any real benefit from having a rooted device these days, especially on this device which looks so difficult to get rooted.

Obviously you don't have to take my word for it, just look at all the posts in the thread I've linked to you above of users who tried the rooting process and missed a step or didn't follow correct instructions or even in one case followed instructions for the wrong android version and wrong device and have now bricked their device and rendered it unusable.

In my opinion it's just not worth it as the risks involved outweigh any real benefit gained.

[MENTION=7682183]bubba1601[/MENTION] one slight modification to your post, rooting won't stop you from receiving system updates - as long as you still have your stock recovery. That said I agree with you on everything else especially the fact that it's a lot of hassle. Even after you have rooted your phone, once you install an update you have to go through the whole process of rooting over again. Half the time, my system update fails. If you're not familiar with the process it can really be daunting
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] bubba1601:
Thank you for correcting me [MENTION=8745197]redweaver[/MENTION].

I've edited my comments accordingly!

After reading the linked post It really doesn't give me any confidence to try it and I personally see no benefit from doing it.
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] MainGoldDragon:
Thanks you both for all the advice you've given me and I want to ask 1 more thing:

If I mess up something during the rooting process, is my phone forever a brick or can I fix it with a factory reset of some kind ?

Because even if I can't fix it, I am still willing to give it a try since:

I got this phone for free. (literally $0, not that someone gifted it to me).

This is my secondary phone (I have a Windows Phone as my main).

I have sent this phone for repairs at least 4 times and it took 3 weeks to get it back each time and the problems return every time.

I have factory reset it 5 times so one more isn't going to be a problem.

It still has problems.

I am not really a phone person and only use it when I am outside of my house (something that doesn't happen often) and only for games.

So my biggest concern is if it is possible to reset my phone after not following an instruction properly. But even that isn't really going to stop as long as it is possible to root my phone since I had the impression that only certain models could get rooted so far.
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] bubba1601:
Yes it's possible to restore the phone if something goes wrong, but not via the traditional factory reset proceedure.

I understand resetting if flashing goes wrong involves using PC software called "SP flash tool" to flash some system files.

This isn't done inside android from the phone, it's done with your Nokia plugged into a PC in fastboot / download mode, again, I'm not sure of this part and that's

the bit I'm not really understanding and why I'm very reluctant to do it.

As I said, the choice is yours, but bear in mind the author of the rooting thread has now moved to another device so will not be supporting the Nokia 3 or the Nokia 3 rooting thread.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asuka93sama:
Yes, there is no code for L2. But it fits perfectly with L and L1!

I already unlock the bootloader code from L1! But it gave me nothing because there is no custom kernel.

Who can do it? It is advisable to portage Lineage (any version), but at least you would like to get a root.

Converted and Magisk Patched Test boot.img's

Here are the TEST boot.img's for the L2 as requested by [MENTION=8151872]StanGumn[/MENTION] in his post Here.

Inside the Download you will find four boot.img's

1. L2-unsigned-boot.img (This is 100% stock just converted to .img rather than preferred choice Sony which is .elf and none fastboot flashable)

2. L2-signed-boot.img (As above but AVB signed)

3. L2-Magisk-unsigned-boot.img (Same as 1 but patched by Magisk)

4. L2-Magisk-signed-boot.img (Same as 2 but patched by Magisk)

WARNING I DO NOT OWN THIS DEVICE SO I TAKE ZERO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY BRICK's OR BOOTLOOPING DEVICES!!! It's all at your own risk :fingers-crossed:

I advice that you Ensure you are able to restore your device easily as I can give zero support for this device. (FlashTool)

I recommend you flash the stock boot.img first number 1 or 2 before you try the Magisk patched boot.img's 3 or 4

If the Magisk one boots install the Magisk manager .apk

Good Luck!! :fingers-crossed:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigrammy:
I do not have the time to write full instructions for the method I use just now as I am busy with life just now. :(

Most dev's will know how to do things especially now you have the correct format for boot.img for your L2.

But put simply.

1. Unpack/Exract boot.elf of other L2 models.

2. Unpack/Extract my boot.img and remove the ramdisk and Kernel-gz.

3. Now take the ramdisk and kernel-gz from 1 and add it to 2

4. Now repack 2 and your done.

Hi, and thanks you for files. I used the 3. L2-Magisk-unsigned-boot.img (Same as 1 but patched by Magisk) ,, and work on my Xperial L2. Then I was install Magisk and got the root ok.

My question is about of lock the bootloader. It is possible to relock the bootloader again and still having root? :confused:

Some of these boot.img can give me a opportunity to maintain the root on the L2 and relock the bootloader?

Thanks in advance!. Regards :good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigrammy:
Sorry for the late reply :o

I doubt it because the boot chain should be checked on a relocked bootloader. :confused:

Boot chain should be preloader, lk, logo, boot, recovery and maybe others so if any of these are altered then the ROM will not usually boot up.

You could always give it a go to see if they messed up some place as Nokia did on my nokia 3 which allows me to run a systemless root without the "Orange state Warning" :fingers-crossed:

If you get in a bootloop use FlashTool to flash the stock boot. ;)

Hello folks,

After a few roadblocks, I managed to install ROM on my XT910. It works reasonably OK, but I am unable to maintain the root. Any idea how do I manage to maintain the root while going from stock 4.1.2 to Lineage OS 15.1?

I would not usually bother with it but I am going to use this phone for my 4th grader for teaching using YouTube (like allowing him to use YouTube for few study related things) and some other stuff. I would like to restrict ads as much as I can. Life becomes really easy with root apps, hence the question.

Appreciate all the comments.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Aspiranteh:
Is there any way to be root without TWRP?* I'm in Oreo and I lost my Imei and cell coverage*. However, I have my backing of the EFS folder. But I can't stick it in the root without being root.

I know I have to wait 8 days for the OEM unlock to activate (I even used the trick to not wait 8 days and it worked for me). And be able to use twrp and install Root per zip file.

But now I haven't been able to do the trick because I can't log in to the samsung account*(Procesing Failed). My fear is that the 8 days will pass and since I cannot log in to my samsung account, the OEM unlock will not be activated even after 8 days.

In short, it would be a great help if anyone knew of these 3 options.

*1.- If you can be root without installing twrp.

*2.- If someone knows how to log in to samsung account, when the error message ("Procesing Failed") appears. I've erased cache of all samsung applications, I've reestablished it from the factory. I have installed full Stock firmware and nothing yet.

*3.- Recover IMEI in another way (I have a TWRP EFS Backup (I already restored it but it didn't work) and I have backup of the EFS folder to replace with the root.
