no.

I received no replies from Xi users. So still untested. But I just checked, and there was 10 downloads of the twrp file.

I assume it works, just cant be certain.

If it fails to load after flashing, you will need to use flash tool to restore. So make sure you know how to use flash tool before attempting.

Its been a few years since I have rooted a phone. Has anyone written any type of a tutorial of some sort on how to do this? I read through this thread. Seems like there are a ton of steps that needs to be done. I only have Linux and Mac. I don't have a PC. You wouldn't mind walking me through some of this would you?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrmazak:
Well there is a linux version of sp flash tool , but I am not familiar with it , so not able to help on the use of it. And flash tool being the method to fix a bad flash, it may be important. But if I nothing goes wrong, this is your decision.

So, for the bootloader unlock, and TWRP flash. That will basically be the same.

Need adb and fastboot.

I have seen a couple versions , but the basic one you get with "apt-get install android-tools" should be ok.

Then follow main guide from XL4.

Starting in middle step. "Unlock bootloader"

Just instead of using files linked in guide , use the TWRP I linked in last post.

Anybody tried to flash the GSI through fastboot?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrmazak:
My recent experience with gsi is as follows.

if gsi system.img is flashed with twrp image flash, then you must have magisk installed, or a patch to dissable dm-verity. Else Red bootloader state is triggered, and phone will not boot. Needing to be flashed with spft to recover it

if gsi system.img is flashed with fastboot, then system will work normal with stock boot.img and stock vendor. (or modified as well)

Pie gsi still has issues with sim card and cell data

Oreo gsi seems to be fully working

make sure you have reliable restore method / backup before experimenting.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sinkoo1979:
Flashed Omni GSI and everything is working. Thank you for the guide. do you know how to install magisk? flashed in TWRP and still doesn't work.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrmazak:
Did you try and use spflash tool to flash twrp, or only fastboot?

You have "unlock OEM" , did you unlock bootloader?

Beyond that, I'm not sure what to suggest.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kawakigachi:
Yes I did unlock, i try fastboot, he is not working "Not allowed"... I didn't know what happened?

If SpFlashtool v5.1828? I was using "Enable" -> Recovery, file TWRP, and Disable Preloader... I was using DA, Auth and Scatter.. Ready..

He says "Format ALL + Download". it doesnt make. Can we help Private Message?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrmazak:
No, please stop private messaging me. I can try help in the open forum. But not on private message.

Remember, never use format all unless specific device manufacturer has suggested, and has full version or rom to install.

Often that message may just be incorrect s after file.

Sometimes you can use firmware upgrade when you have that message. Also try the newer flash tool . I believe it is 5.19.xxx now
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kawakigachi:
Same. DA_PL_A5X is re-match error. And MTK can't send da in my device. All format all + download needed by newer spflashtool
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kawakigachi:
Look.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrmazak:
This error message is generic. Basically means cannot communicate with device

Try with different button Combo when pluggi g in device maybe.

And it there is a released twrp for device. Perhaps ask who released it , how to flash it. I am at a loss. I have not this same device. All my suggestion are general, and non specific to your device

Already tried all possible option such as

dd with adb

Sp flash tool

Wwr mtk

Mtk droid

Miracle box

All one click root method like kingoroot ,framaroot ..etc

Everything failed I already unlock boot loader I just want to get boot.img so I can root with magisk

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ineedroot69:
Hello i have a good news for everyone here's the boot.img and recovery.img for BLU Vivo XI that you can you on Magisk to root your device . Enjoy :)

awsome thx!

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 AM ----------

actually i have a question, i flash the recovery but i think im doing something wrong trying to get into it cause it keeps just going to stock recovery still, am i missing a step? im on V0320VV btw and just a note im not booting, im going straight to recovery but its either stock or just goes to boot up after attempting to load recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ineedroot69:
What? Why would you flash recovery.img ?! :eek: That recovery.img is stock recovery do not flash it nothing will change ...

Okay i will teach you how

First you install Magisk Manager

Then download the boot.img that i provided put it into Internal Memory (any folder just make sure you remember it)

Then just follow this

after clicking "select and patch" just browse boot.img wait atleast 3 mins it will FLASH the boot.img if it say "all done!" close magisk and restart your phone manually (restarting make sure the pc can see the file)

plug your blu vivo xi on PC and goto "Internal Memory / Download" folder in there you will see "magisk_patched.img"

now you need minimal adb and fastboot

you can download minimal and fastboot here >https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569952951

credit to [MENTION=3558630]shimp208[/MENTION]

you need to go C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot

now copy and paste magisk_patched.img on that folder

now unplug blu vivo xi from your pc

now i will enter fastboot mode

shutdown blu vivo xi

then you need to hold volume up key

now hold power key

if you feel vibration count 2 seconds after that

now stop pressing power key and continue pressing volume up key

now just select fastboot mode

you must see

now plug you blu vivo xi into pc

on minimal adb and fastboot

open cmd-here

now type the following

fastboot devices

^ make sure your device is listed on fastboot

fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img

^ just wait for this to be done atleast 3mins

after it say all done type

fastboot reboot

now your blu vivo xi will restart and you are rooted just download root checker on play store :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

I think your on to something mediatek devices always work the same see if you can find authorization file for Gionee phone with your chip or close to it. I'll do some more research on it myself there's an authorization file on xda if you Google authorization file that was for another mediatek device but they said it worked for other devices to. Maybe there's also a phone with a similar chip with scatter file. Everytime I look up this phone I get some many different ones. What's everyone's build number.

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

Did you try that authorization file I emailed you if it works I'll setup a link or something like that keep drive or something. If you just Google authorization file it was on xda it should be the first thing that comes up it's also in the Moto c phone I mentioned earlier if you download the zip. Hovatek website has da and authorization files I think.

I'm new to posting links this should be my drive with the scatter file from the vivo y81 which is supposed to be the mt6762 helio p22 chip there firmware comes with the scatter file for my 6765 the one I've uploaded is from there firmware it should also work on this chip that's the way mediatek seems to work. I also found a twrp 3.2.3 Oreo 8.1 64bit that's supposed to work with similar chip I'm going to upload that don't flash anything yet. I'm just rounding up resources I'm still working on a da file.

Twrp 3.2.3 for 6765. If I'm right and things cross over this should work but if you guys have different chips like helio p60 you'll have to look for stuff for that or close to it.

Yea thanks out that 10+ release models are the exact same phone. Im thinking the only way to make it work is with a infinity box with support for newer mtk chipsets. We should make a dedi post for the chipset in general. Oppo devices with same chipset only recieved root because of its popularity and even they required a box.

I'm interested in your out come of Wwr tool it's possible that your chip doesn't require a da file because the 6771 helio p60 is there biggest chip so that's there pride and joy. You have a helio p22 right? The mtk6762 I posted scatter file and twrp that should work with that if it doesn't need a da file.

That's the with file for oppo f7 youth Oreo its mt6771 chip which is what you said in email that should work. Another 6771. Scatter file its slightly different I think it will work better than the first one. The auth file should work let me know immediately in gmail. You need to put it in the right place on s p flashtool

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Techguy777:
Alright guys I've done some more research the oppo f7 that has the 6771 scatter file needs a Authorization file because it's a secure boot. The authorization file I posted is from that chip so it might work to decrypt the vivo xi+ that has the 6771 chip.

The other phone is similar to the vivo y81 and y83 they don't need a authorization file to flash and they use mtk6765 scatter file on all y81 and y83 so I believe that the mt6762 should be able to get Wwr tool to read back and hopefully we can go forward once I hear back from you guys. If you do get a authorization error on mtk6762 let me and I'll continue searching.

The oppo needs a opf file to flash with the authorization file in it I have that opf flash tool but I would not recommend trying to flash oppo firmware let's see if we can get the files to work first. Go from there.

Another zip with oppo f7 Da bin or download agent and authorization file I believe that the mtk all in one Da with the authorization on sp flash tool should work. This is a lot of new stuff but at least with mediatek things cross over phones.

It looks like the Vivo Y83 is same internals as our phone Blu VIVO XI.

This link shows the recovery image of TWRP for that model. https://www.techdroidtips.com/install-twrp-recovery-vivo-y83/

Question to Techguy777:

If I grab this file, and since my Bootloader is unlocked can I issue the command: fastboot boot recovery twrp–2.8.x.x–xxx.img. as that does not actually flash the image but does try to boot into the image??

IF it works, there is our new TWRP! But not to flash it until we have a way to backup everything on our device with wwr or something.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gemah:
DevCheck tells me my Vivo XI got a Mediatek Helio P22 - MT6762V (8xCortex-A53 - Inst. Sets: arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a & armeabi)

Vivo XI has an Helio P22(MT6762) while Vivo XI+ has an Helio P60(MT6771). I'm not sure how different are one from the other, aside from the cores differing between chips and the Helio P60 being obviously more powerful.

I'd like fiddle with my phone, but like I said I don't know much about Android hacking/dev, aside from few stuff with ADB and flashing recoveries/custom roms and stuff. Also, my Vivo XI is my daily driver so I'd like to use it in a way there's not much risk of bricking or needing to reinstall everything back.

Either way, the possibility of rooting the phone alone is nice enough :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] psychofad:
I'll give the auth a try on the mt6771, scatter files are all over the place from different phones with the same chipset, Z2 Pro has released firmware with scatter and I compared it with another mt6771 chip phone and quite a few variances, tried using the twrp from that phone to boot into recovery with no joy, probably due to the differences in additional hardware, screen, cam, etc making the kernal vary to much idk?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Techguy777:
I'm getting a little confused the thread says 6762 but everyone is saying 6771. I was thinking more people were on 6762 but now it sounds like no one is everyone is on 6771. You are correct that if you fastboot boot into twrp you can try that with all of them maybe you'll get lucky I would keep a magisk zip on your phone in case you do that way you can flash. You guys also need to keep in mind your phones are probably encrypted so once you do get twrp you'll have flash a decrypt zip and format all your data on the phone. There's a decrypt magisk zip module that is universal you should probably have that on hand to. Next time you guys get update download it but don't install it may be get it off the phone. So it'll be unlock bootloader, boot twrp , make backup on external SD card or on to pc or otg cable, then format data by typing yes in wipe , flash magisk, than decrypt zip you should look for a meditek one. You don't want to wipe phone with no rom backup or rom to flash so you might have to leave it encrypted until we get that. You need to make a backup if you get twrp to work it's super important. Keep me posted.

So don't be surprised to see your data not showing up if you boot into twrp encrypted you should still be able to flash magisk and make system , and boot back up.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gemah:
The confusion is due to BLU marketing both phones as having the same features. This leads people into believing both phones have the same hardware, with Vivo XI+ just having more power and memory (both RAM and Storage) than Vivo XI. But they have different CPUs and XI also has less features than XI+. For example: FaceMoji and Face Id are missing from Vivo XI, also it didn't get the update XI+ got.

tl;dr: Vivo XI = Mediatek Helio P22 - MT6762 & Vivo XI+ = Mediatek Helio P60 - MT6771

BLU Vivo XI seems to be based on the same hardware as VIVO Y83 (Normal and Pro)

I don't know which phone Vivo XI+ can be compared to, but permissions on certain system apps suggests it could be a GIONEE one.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nobreak1970:
Yeah I made this thread specifically for the 6762 Vivo XI model not the plus version. Seems it's going off track. Start a different thread for the plus version because I don't think we should have one thread for both phones. Thanks guys.

Also in the stock recovery I noticed the option to "Mount /system" and it works. Is this normal in stock recovery???

I can't tell if it's mounting it rw or ro. If it's mounting it in RW then we should be able to pull stuff via adb right??

I downloaded that firmware yesterday that's why I don't think your chip needs a authorization file because that phone doesn't otherwise it'll be in that firmware

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

No you need root usually to pull system or recovery and boot img. It's always you need root to get the things to root the phone it sucks. It's like a puzzle lol. Try to Port y83 recovery to twrp recovery Porter then boot it without flashing it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nobreak1970:
Going to do that right now. I noticed in recovery porter that it wants 2 files. a stock recovery and a twrp recovery?? The tool wants a TWRP from the same chipset, which I cannot find.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nobreak1970:
I'm confused by twrp porter. It does it's thing, but then when it tells you to copy files out of one folder to another folder...the files are not there in step 3.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Techguy777:
Did you use the hovatek 1.3 recovery Porter or did you do the one off xda? I think your using the wrong one the hovatek one is better and you don't need a similar twrp first. Although try both I recommend 1.3 hovatek website because it has Oreo 8.1 option.

Here's the link to the Porter I'd recommend it's my drive account so you don't have to make a account on hovatek if you don't want to.
