$$root your Redmi note 4 mtk[nikel] miui without breaking ota updates:) $$

!! red wolf recovery is only available for snapdragon[mido]:confused:, so we need an alternative;) !!

it is an alternative to the red wolf recovery method(google it)

**things required**

1.unlocked bootloader

2.pc running windows

3.twrp cofface recovery (url in comments)

4.latest magisk zip (url in comments)

5.platform tools (url in comments)

+unzip the platform-tools.zip and put it on desktop with the downloaded img file.

+put the magisk zip file in the phone's internal storage.

+boot the phone in fastboot mode and connect it with pc via usb cable

+run cmd as administrator.

++run the commands

1.cd %path to platform-tools%

2. fastboot devices

3.fastboot boot %path to your desktop%\cofface_twrp_nikel_recovery1124.img

[[[common error : can't load the img file

solution: just give the administrative privilages to fastboot.exe]]]

phone will boot in twrp recovery in a few minutes.

+now flash magisk zip

+wipe dalwik/cache. reboot system

=done. install magisk manager apk and start using root apps.

##this will not flash the twrp recovery, only boot temporarily into I,t so that we can root without flashing custom recovery.

******originally the post made for snapdragon version. but i got some problem with mtk version and finally found this solution******

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] C5Longhorn:
I'm trying to root my M5 (SHT-W09, C567). I have unlocked the bootloader and installed Magisk but am having problems extracting and patching the ramdisk.img file. I would appreciate anyone who could double check my steps or see if they spot my error.

Here is what I have done.

1) Using HFF, downloaded, the Update.zip file (full image), size is approximately 4 GB.

2) Copied image over to Windows laptop

3) Downloaded Huwei Image Extractor

4) Set image extractor to unknown profile

5)Under settings, unchecked verify header and file checksum

6) The extractor extracted 33 files

Here is where I need assistance, how do I proceed? Do i need to .zip the ramdisk file and then copy it over to the tablet? I've attached an image of the files that were extracted. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rick
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] AndDiSa:
[MENTION=4412937]C5Longhorn[/MENTION] you can now select the RAMDISK.img entry from that bundle and extract it to your PC. Then you copy that file by e.g

adb put RAMDISK.img /sdcard/

onto your device. Then you need to open Magisk-Manager (which you should have already installed on your device) and seldct the RAMDISK.img from /sdcard/ and a patched_boot.img will be created. This is the file which you later on need to flash back onto your device as ramdisk.img
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] C5Longhorn:
Ok, i copied the file to my computer desktop, and then attached device to computer and I copied into my SD card download folder but kept getting an error when I would run Magisk that it failed.

Do I need to use adb to push the file or does it not matter how it's copied. Maybe I'm placing in the wrong folder or need to zip file.

I'll try again and screenshot the messages. I really appreciate your help.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] AndDiSa:
[MENTION=4412937]C5Longhorn[/MENTION] how you copy the file to your device doesn't matter. Do you have Magisk-Manager installed? Did you select the patch option and did you choose patch boot file and did you select the RAMDISK.img as the file to be patched? What is the error message Magisk-Manager is giving you? Did you use MagiskManager-5.7.0.apk?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] C5Longhorn:
Yes, to all. I'll capture and post the error I'm receiving when I can get back to the tablet. Thanks again.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] C5Longhorn:
I finally got it. I zipped the ramdisk file, moved it to Dropbox and then downloaded it locally to the tablet. I then went through the Magisk Manager process and it created the patched file.

I'm rooted now but notice I can't open Magisk without the app closing very quickly afterwards.

Is this normal? Also, I noticed "preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity is not checked. Should it be?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] C5Longhorn:
I wiped the Magisk app data and now the app will open.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] JamesBott:
If run MagiskManager - run 1..2 second - self-close : it's a bug.

The new Version is 5.8.0 and i hope it's debuged.

The Bug is a optical Problem, root work.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] C5Longhorn:
Can version 5.8 be installed without losing root or do you have to repush the patched file again?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] C5Longhorn:
I installed 5.8 Magisk Manager and did not have to reload ramdisk image file.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] JamesBott:
2 Way for install Magisk

Way 1 : the device is new and TWRP is not available

download your build, extract "ramdisk.img" and copy on device (example: to "download")

download MagiskManager.App (actual 5.8.0), install, run and let MM modify the boot.img (in OREO is inside ramdisk.img)

fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img

Way 2 : install "twrp_p10_0.1.img"

fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp_p10_0.1.img

boot to recovery (TWRP) and TWRP-Install Magisk-v16.0.zip (actual)

this 2 way work on my device CMR-AL09 8.0.0.161(C432)

i use way 1 if device new on market and twrp not available

if twrp available i use way 2

the core-question is : the build from your device

extract from your-build full-update "ramdisk.img"

All Huawei/Honor with OREO have the same OS, but the build is different
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Tanogeek:
HI,

I would like to update my mediapad to the latest update available.

However, you can't update through the official updater when you're root.

Can i flash back the original ramdisk.img and do the official update, then root it back with the new ramdisk.img patched ?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] AndDiSa:
Normally when there are changes on the ramdisk.img a full update image will be installed by the OTA update process. Your proposed way will be probably sufficient to get only the delta update.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] TheRandomlyAnonimous:
Hi! I'm not so sure if I'm the right page or if we even have a right page. I'm currently using a "xiaomi redmi note 5 ai" with bootloader locked.

I was trying to unlock the bootloader using the trick where you have to have 2 mi accounts to use but something weird happened.

When I was trying to unlock my phone after doing the trick it said "Device Unlocked. No need to repeat unlock" but I checked the status of my phone in the developer option menu and it says device is still locked and secure.

Now everytime I check the phone unlock it's just the same result. Is there anyway to fix this? Or am I stuck? :confused::crying:

Hoping for the former rather than the latter. :crying:

My dopod 838pro has this no gsm problem more than two months. I see there is no solution apart from sending it for repair. I'm from Brunei and there is just no expertise here to deal with the problem. Can anyone give me an or name me a shop where I can get my dopod fixed ? Brunei is neighbour to Singapore,Malaysia and Indonesia. Heck I'd even send this to UK if it's the only place I could get it repaired. Please help. Thanks

My Hermes device too, No GSM. I'm wondering is there anyone in XDA-Dev would be able to help this out?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Cheapest thing to do is buy another Hermes off ebay. Either swap Mainboards or better yet, get a fully functioning one. Would be cheaper than getting fixed as they just replace the mainboard, Most places will just try to get you to upgrade.

Could also be the antenna's bung too. At least if you get a spare you have spare parts...

Wow, I'm not the expert but there is one solution I made with the WhatsApp folder that might work,

here it is, "make sure make backup of both folder."

1. Copy both folder in different folder like 'font' Or copy in the PC

2. Than merge other folder by copying content from dcim to DCIM because phone reads DCIM by default.make it is merged not replaced.

3. Now delete both dcim and DCIM folder from internal memory.

4. Than copy that merged DCIM folder to phone memory.

Boom all ok

Can anyone help? My wife's Max 2 is dying, lcd is failing again after replacing it 4 months ago.

It's running aosip Oreo, with TWRP 3.2.1-1 recovery. In settings, the phone indicates it's not encrypted. When I go into recovery and attempt a nandroid backup, I get the dreaded "can't mount data" errors. Also no storage partition to select for the nandroid backup, not sure why that is. I have another Max 2 I'd like to move here system over too if possible.

TIA!
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, please update to TWRP 3.2.2-0. 3.2.1-1 lacks support for quota storage which is used for a slight boost in storage performance by most Oreo ROMs.

https://twrp.me/leeco/leecolemax2.html

You can use a PC via bootloader with the command

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.2-0.img

Or via TWRP with a USB flash drive mounted and install image to recovery

Or if you're rooted? Flashify app in the play store can also flash to recovery.

Good luck! :good:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] killerherts:
So I have a sm-930p I used to be on Sprint but recently moved and had to switch to T-Mobile for reception. But unfortunately when I got this my 930p it has already had binary 6 on it from Sprint so basically I can't do anything fun and my carrier still can lock down my hotspot and I cannot push the newest firmware that is actually for T-Mobile. My phone works but thinks like visual voicemail wifi calling are not functioning as they should. Ultimately I would like to have the ability to install debloated rom and keep my safety net. Should I just buy a different sm930 variant or does someone have a more Dev friendly phone they would suggest they is on par with S7 performance.

Thanks in advance

[General Questions and Answers] manahuilla:
I read this is the place for noobs, so, I got myself into a FRP LOCK on my Galaxy Tab A6 sm-T280. I use the tablet strictly for flying my drone for surveillance around the rural location where I live. It was having some connectivity problems, so I rooted it to hopefully get enough horsepower to run the DJI Go app. That didn't work so I did a wipe/factory reset, had a problem with the password, and here I am.

I am researching, and gathering the required tools to fix it.

I finally found some guides that are basic enough for me to understand.

I found numerous sites to download the stock rom, but not sure which ones are safe. Suggestions? Also, I am not sure about the country code for the firmware. I am in the USA, and I don't see it listed anywhere. Does it matter? This android stuff is all new and confusing to this old man. I am determined to get this tablet fixed, and would appreciate any and all advice. Thanks, Gary

edit: Will this rom work? : T280XXUOAPL1 using XAA for theCSC? Is xaa the default/generic for U.S.A. ?

Well being as you have tried navizon, that means you have an account. If you log into the account from their website, you can view cell tower only info on a map.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] RaymondPJR:
I dropped my Note 8 into sea water last Thursday. It was in for about 2 seconds. Two minutes later, it went dead.

Question: It's been repaired first by Samsung then by You Break I Fix, for a broken screen and bad headphone jack. I'm wondering should the water resistance rating was maintained since it was repaired and resealed by Samsung and then by a licensed partner? Or, once it's been opened is the water proofing compromised forever?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
It's been through repairs so hard to know if it was like this from factory or not. However, I'm betting one of the repairs ended the waterproofing.

Either way, Samsung doesn't warranty water ingestion.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] RaymondPJR:
Hmmm, if that's the case when you break a Samsung you might as well take it to anyone if the factory water resistance rating cannot be restored. I just need to find out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] RaymondPJR:
I've done some more research and you are correct. Samsung techs may tell you your phone's water resistance is restored after you send it to them for repair, but it's not true (according to many angry Samsung owners). UBreakIFix would need an expensive piece of equipment to have any chance of restoring water resistance. Even if they had this equipment who's to say they would be any more competent or successful at doing this since Samsung itself obviously can't. This will save me time and aggravation, but not money. Time to cough up the deductible for TMobile replacement.
