[General Questions and Answers] eLatErbI:
Hello all, so long story short I had bought a BLU G9 Pro which came with Android 9 Pie. The only device-specific guide I could find online about obtaining root was: https://www.getdroidtips.com/root-blu-g9-pro/

The information on that guide is trivial and can be applicable to almost any device. The root method worked, however, there was an OTA update to Android 10 (and then later a security update) which I took. I then attempted to re-root the device utilizing the same method. However, now it seems that everytime I flash a Magisk modded boot.img my device gets stuck in a bootloop and will not go past the bootloader. I believe that this device may be uncharted territory but it is a great phone and I would love to have both Magisk root and the latest Android 10 firmware. I have found that Magisk supports both Android 10 and A-only devices so I do not see what is causing the problem. Additionally, I attempted to flash an AOSP GSI of Android 10 which refused to boot before I even installed Magisk. I am new to modern Android devices with Project Treble so please forgive me if there is something obvious I am missing. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] HemanthJabalpuri:
@eLatErbI

Try flashing GSI like said in https://source.android.com/setup/build/gsi#flashing-gsis

May be vbmeta flashing is required for your device.

You can get vbmeta.img from your stock firmware.
[General Questions and Answers] eLatErbI:
It seems that Verified Boot could definitely be getting in the way. Could this possibly explain why Magisk is working on the Android 9.0 version of the stock ROM but not Android 10? However, I thought Magisk disabled verified boot in the kernel (boot.img) also I do not have a vbmeta.img in any stock firmware for this phone. Any other means of disabling verified boot? Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] radiophonique:
Hi, I have the same problem with my G9 PRO, I tried to boot all kinds of GSI roms with and without magisk and it doesn't work (bootloop). I cannot find the vbmeta partition anywhere so I am hesitant to try to flash it without a backup. There is a mention of it in the fstab of the boot partition, however it is not in the stock firmware or in my own backups. Magisk did also work for me before the Android 10 update. Does anyone have an idea of how AVB works without a vbmeta partition or a verity file?
[General Questions and Answers] tuffasagong:
You can extract the boot.img from your phone if you updated to 10. I updated and used SP Flash to read the boot.img and WwR_MTK to get the partition length and starting value for the boot.img and patched it using Magisk and reflashed it over fastboot. I know this thread is a bit old but if anyone is interested, reply and I will post the link that explains. I have Android 10 running on my Blu G9 pro rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] &oot4peace:
Hi. Please post the link. It will be very helpful for me. I have the BLU_G0231WW android 10.
[General Questions and Answers] tuffasagong:
Here is the link: https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-21970.html

This is what I did to root the phone:

Download WwR_MTK 2.30 and SP Flash (I used version 5.2112)

**Open WwR_MTK 2.30 and create a basic Scatter File by choosing the Platform Type (processor) which for Blu G9 Pro is MT6771. Click create and save as - I saved all files in one folder.

**Open SP Flash Tool and under the download tab choose the scatter file we just created it will have only Preloader under it.

**Go to the Readback tab press Add -- Double click on what was added and just keep it saved as ROM_0 (once again I saved it in the same folder as the scatter file) -- the Start Address is in the scatter file as "physical_start_addr:" it should be 0x0 and the length is "partition_size:" and the value should be 0x80000. Keep the Region as EMMC_USER unless you want the preloader but to get the boot.img we don't need that. Turn off your phone and press the Read Back button with the Arrow and plug your phone into the computer. It will read the file and give you a big Green Check to let you know it completed succesfully.

**Once you have the ROM_0 open it up in WwR_MTK 2.30 Under Step 3 (Choose the EMMC_USER partition in the prepared backup) you will get an error that says "The file size is smaller than the start position of the LK (uboot)" press OK -- You will get another error that says "To determine the ype of process and memory.... blah blah blah" Press OK

**Click the Scatter File tab -- Under the Name field find boot. We now get the starting value of the boot.img and the partition length. We need these values to put back into SP Flash.

**Go to SP Flash and Readback tab again. Press add. Double Click the new add and save it as boot.img -- Region is EMMC_USER and the start address is going to be the HEX value next to Boot and length the length address next to boot. For the BLU_G0231WW_V10.0.04.07_GENERIC Build these addresses are:

Start: 0x20C00000 and Length: 0x2000000

Push ok when you put the start address and length for the boot.img and once again push Readback and connect your phone while off. The File size I got was a boot.img of 32,768 KB in size which is much bigger than the boot.img of the Android 9 (which was like 9 MB in size).

**Install Magisk on the phone and patch the boot.img and flash it with fastboot and boom, you have a rooted BLU G9 Pro with the latest Update. Keep your stock boot.img as I rooted my phone with the 10.0.04.04 update and could not update to 10.0.04.07 until I reflashed the stock boot.img in case there is another update.

That is all there is to it and you should be able to use this tutorial to root if BLU pushes anymore updates.
[General Questions and Answers] &oot4peace:
Thank tuffasagong.

I now have my blu g9 pro magisk rooted on Android 10. I added viper4Android, Adaway and more tweaks.

[General Questions and Answers] tuffasagong:
Which version were you on? The latest at the time? A little more info did you flash a Magisk patched boot image?
[General Questions and Answers] tuffasagong:
Blu pushed out a new update 10.0.04.08 a couple weeks ago. Reflash the stock Boot image to update. Boot image has the same length and start addresses. I just reflashed the magisk Boot image I made with 10.0.04.07 and works fine.
[General Questions and Answers] Cathedralruins:
I've followed this and have gotten quite far but I can't seem to find any working fastboot drivers for the G9 pro, I have tried several different ones and with every one I get absolutely no hits on "fastboot devices" and upon any attempts to flash, it leaves me at "waiting for device" I just want to know if you had a specific driver or if it's different issue
[General Questions and Answers] lopestom:
Use the Platform Tools for A9 or A10.

Downloads - Read and accept the terms.: platform-tools-latest-windows.zip

Device need OEM Unlock & USB Debugging enable.

Maybe your PC need USB Drivers: drivers USB OEM

Maybe need MTK USB driver: MTK Driver
[General Questions and Answers] Cathedralruins:
First off, thank you for your really speedy assistance with this, I appreciate it.

A couple things, to note, the device has already had OEM unlocking and usb debugging enabled, it works with adb, but is not recognized at all by fastboot itself, I'm definitely going to try those drivers and that version of the platform tools. Is there any log, device list, or any other info I can dump that would be useful in troubleshooting this?

Thanks again for your assistance, lopestom.
[General Questions and Answers] lopestom:
Bootloader unlocked?

Authorization PC vs device already has with USB debugging?

If yes so look drivers.

Hello there,

My technical skills when comes to android phones is next to zero, but I have been running linux (Fedora, Endeavour, currently Debian 11), I am not affraid of the terminal.

I have bought a Blu g9 pro, like 3 months ago, it came out of the box with android 9, then It updated to android 10.

It is very close to stock android, and I am ok with it, exept for a few creepy apps that I would like to remove,

I would like your input on what is the safest aproach, can I just 'debloat' the current system? or might as well replace it with something else?

Thank you.

I attempted to flash the patched boot image from Magisk but my G9 Pro started boot looping. I've tried to flash every firmware that I can find for this model but I keep getting an error message from the Flash tool.

Any guidance?
[General Questions and Answers] SomeOZI:
Saved me - TY. This worked for me for Mintt Ultramintt Y3 - basically an Aussie rebadged Blu G9 Pro. I used this method for it with Pie 9 (before allowing update to 10). Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] ATBG:
Thanks, man. This worked very well. To prevent the phone from boot looping, Download Magisk Canary. Then press patch vbmeta image and then you can patch the boot.img and flash it over fastboot.
[General Questions and Answers] owl-n:
I have directions to alot of blu kernel source codes directly from blu. G9 pro was one I believe. I requested kernel source codes for the g91s and they gave me what they had, which was useless for my phone. I am returning it and getting a refund. No point in having a cellphone I can't do what I want
[General Questions and Answers] ATBG:
BLU G90 Pro is your best bet.
[General Questions and Answers] owl-n:
These blu phones are rebranded Chinese phones. My device, the blu g91s, is a Xiaomi Redmi 9/ Poco m2, down to the chip and gpu. Check out the release dates. I can understand rebranding, but I kinda feel like even after asking for the kernel source code and them not being able to deliver is a breach of trust. And privacy. I have used the same r1hd I got in September 2016 and it still works exactly the way I want it to, and that phone will take a whole lot of custom roms. I know that the Samsung a22 and maybe the a32? are the same chip and gpu as blu g91s. The difference is the ram and storage sizes, which leads me to believe they would have to have different partition sizes and maybe more partitions.
[General Questions and Answers] ATBG:
If you like to root, I suggest getting a OnePlus phone. I used BLU for a very long time.
[General Questions and Answers] owl-n:
I think I am. The OnePlus Nord n200.
[General Questions and Answers] owl-n:
Honestly, if they refuse to do a refund, I will be locked into flashing a twrp recovery for the Xiaomi Redmi 9 and see how far I get. Obviously, the cameras are different, among other things, but I do feel like it would be a good start.
[General Questions and Answers] ATBG:
If you do that, I'll help you root it.

That sounds like a good phone!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] xdafun4all:
i want to know what is the difference between

"apps, extended apps ,base apps ,utility , tricky"?????????????

in the main screen of the program

the secon is about "name for the link to create" in the second screen after selectin the cab file ?????

:confused::confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mbarvian:
1. These are the categories the package will be placed in. For example, when you open up Ervius BuildOS, the packages will be sorted by categories

2. For every .exe (application) that is in the package, it will ask you to create a link to. So, for example, if I was changing the HTC Album .cab into a Package, it will automatically place Album.exe (the actually program) in the Windows directory. However, you can create a link to this program by clicking the Default circle, then enter the directory (i.e. Start Menu\Programs\Multimedia if I wanted to put it in the Multimedia folder in my Start Menu), then enter the name (for example, Album.lnk), then click Apply, then click Done

Hope this helps ;)

I have recently flashed my ROM with dcd 3.2.6 which everything is working great. The only question i really have is how much does the radio have to do with the GPS working faster. It generally takes about 10 minutes before the seeking is done with Google maps, and i was curious if going to a newer radio would effect that at all? Any tips or thoughts would be great.

Hi people,

I have a Chinese tablet on Android 10 and Mediatek Mt6580.

Is there a way to root easily these cpu ? Or is there a twrp flashable for this cpu ?

Any input please ?

Thanks a lot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1890170:
You root Android, never device's CPU. Also: TWRP doesn't depend on device's CPU but on device's Android.

If device's bootloader can get unlocked, and if you can mount Android's /system partition as RW ( I think it's literally impossible in Android 10 to ever mount the /system partition as RW , probably you have to mount the whole filesystem as RW ) then you can root device's Android without the need of TWRP.

[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
@Ultramanoid

We may continue the discussion here.

I have a few specific questions for which I haven't found answers. May be you or others could answer them. I'll compile them and post these later.
[General Questions and Answers] Ultramanoid:
I have a hard time understanding how you can say you're a strong proponent of privacy, while at the same time justifying how you exchange yours for convenient services.

I can't justify that exchange, and yet use, work in, and develop in an IT field. No Google account here. So it'd be difficult to discuss the issue when our basic premises and understanding of the situation are completely opposed.

I want a good mail service, so I PAY for it, with MONEY, and I assure you it beats all the tech prowess and illusions of magic that GMail and its indecent, immoral, and insulting data mining and tracking provide. Same for everything else.

The aberration that is 'service' ( lower quality feature set, no support, security issues, client is the product ) for information, which, as mentioned in MiX's thread, also has the tremendously damaging side effect of reducing to zero the value of good honest developer work. 'Google gives it for free' -- No, it doesn't, and no, it's not free.

Edit : And by the way, giving your data away not only puts you at risk, it puts others at risk as well. Unacceptable.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
You spoke of making 'reasonable compromises' on the MiX thread.

I have only elaborated the same. How does it matter if Google learns what I like to search on the internet? I am willing to give them that information so that they can provide me with content I am interested in, so that my news feed is mostly content I like to read/ watch, and little garbage. In the process, if they are showing me ads relevant to me, what is wrong with it?

My view is based only on this premise that this is how my data is being used. I have never had a financial security issue (like money being stolen from my account) because of what Google learns about my internet activity.

Also, I am assuming that Google won't learn anything about the searches I may do in incognito mode. They are supposed to respect the privacy. I'm aware they have been sued for not adhering to it strictly.

So assuming that they stick with usage of data as per their declared privacy policies and in accordance with laws, what is the problem?
[General Questions and Answers] Ultramanoid:
As to security. As long as you rely on someone else's software, some company's cables and infrastructure, there's no other way.

No reasonable compromise on privacy in the "service x information" business model. It needs to die.

Edit : Have a look at this; https://privacytools.io ( "Privacy? I don't have anything to hide." )
[General Questions and Answers] atttoush:
You know what's funny, people talking about privacy (intrinsically security also), yet many (and by many I mean the majority) of ROMs released on XDA are released without source code. Devs link to some other sources other than the source to be able to build the project. Here is an example. So while privacy is important, security is highly problematic with this modding model we all follow. Not to mention flashing different unchecked magiks modules.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
I think the moment you are online, you are presenting yourself to be tracked. No matter what tools you use to safeguard your privacy, a country's intelligence has an upper hand because they have the resources and much more advanced technology that is not commercially available.

They can also set up something like the link you shared as just another means to track you (by misleading you into believing that you are remaining private and anonymous).

I think one can truly stay private only by staying away from technology. Otherwise, you are just opening yourself up for tracking.
