[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You're looking for what we call a "nandroid backup", a copy of all data that is stored on the device. Typically, creating a nandroid backup requires either rooting the device then using adb commands to pull a nandroid backup or it requires installing a custom recovery such as TWRP that has an option to create a nandroid backup from within recovery mode.

Your device probably doesn't have a custom recovery/TWRP. Custom recoveries are built specific to the model number that they are to be installed on, there is no such thing as a universal custom recovery that can be used on all android devices. If no developer has chosen to build a version of TWRP for your specific model number then your device can't use TWRP unless you manage to build it for yourself.

These days, most Samsung devices cannot be rooted because they have bootloaders that cannot be unlocked. The only hope of rooting a Samsung device that has a locked bootloader that cannot be unlocked is to find an android app or PC program that has an exploit that your device is vulnerable to. But, these kinds of apps and programs have not been able to root devices since somewhere around the time that android Lollipop or Marshmallow was released, they are no longer able to root today's devices.

You may have to choose another device to experiment with. Preferably one that already has a custom recovery available for that specific model number or has known working root method for that specific model number.

What is your A01's specific model number? That is what will determine wgat is or isn't available for your device and what you can and can't do with it.
[General Questions and Answers] Dune_Rat:
Thanks so much for the thorough responses, Droidriven. This has cleared everything up for me. The specific model number of my phone is SM-A015F/DS.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Apparently, there is a version of TWRP for your model number, but, from what I've been reading, you need to be on android 11 in order to unlock your bootloader then install TWRP. Once you have TWRP installed, you can use it to create a nandroid backup by using the Backup option in TWRP. In your case, you probably want to backup absolutely everything that can be backed up, therefore, when you choose the Backup option in TWRP, on the next screen you'll see a list of partitions to backup, select the partitions you want to backup then initiate the backup by sliding the slider at the bottom. Then you'll have to find the correct tools to extract the data from the backup, it can be tricky because of the type of file that TWRP creates.

Problem: I want root mode without the effort of hacking a rom partition.

Solution: For those with World version Teclast M40 Pro device (untested on others), here is a signed rooted boot partition I created. Read the readme file inside the zip. You will require an unlocked device, windows setup with USB drivers for Teclast, the complete firmware from Teclast website, and SPD-Research-Tools installed. If you're successful, then on rooting you will need to install Magisk app to get root active. Magisk will reboot once to finalised.

SPD Upgrade Tools is closing while trying to flash stock firmware, both with M40 Pro locked and unlocked bootloader. What should i do?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] e8hffff:
Sorry for replying late. I got no indication of the response. To the problem, I can only suggest getting a different version of SPD or m aking sure your computer system is properly updated. I hope you've already solved the issue!

Maybe you're experiencing, "Problem: msvcr100.dll missing error in Windows whilst running SPD (Factory/Research/Upgrade) Tools" See above for solution.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] e8hffff:
I've noticed a new ROM for world edition, "M40 Pro(M1A3)_Android 11.0_ROW V1.02_20220525", but not getting any system update options for OTA. People flashing their systems may want the latest firmware!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] minyfriki:
Thanks to your Magisk file I was able to root my tablet, but when updating to the latest version it goes into bootloop, I have tried updating the original firmware image again, but it also goes into bootloop.

Is there any way to install Magisk modules?

Thanks for your post, it helped me a lot to unlock my tablet.

Edit: My version is the M1A1 firmware V1.03_20210804

Edit 2: Finally, when updating my tablet with the root file that is in the post, it did not allow me to install any Magisk module, the solution is to download version 24.3, and update automatically, without changing to a higher version of Magisk
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] e8hffff:
Glad you worked it out Miny !!! Sorry the warning emails for new posts have been going to a gmail account I no longer use.

Also your hardware maybe different and require it's own unique firmware and boot images. It seems the cracking in similar though.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jorkusjorkus:
Some questions:

Do I need to unlock my bootloader in order to be able to get root with magisk?

The tools for unlocking the bootloader uses

fastboot flashing unlock_bootloader

. My version of fastboot (33.0.3p1-android-tools) doesn't have that command. The included one (0.0.0-09219) does, but I wan't to be careful about running softwar from untrusted sources. Where is that version of fastboot from?

Does any of the steps necessary to get root access delete my data?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rubsbcn:
Hi there.

I have a m40pro (M1A1) running android 11, do you know if I can install firmware Z3A1 to get android 12? Or will be bricked?

Thanks in advance
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] e8hffff:
To tell you the truth, not sure. Most SoC are impossible or near impossible to brick. They usually allow for an injection or have a read only boot section. Other words you could test. Also research difference in hardware between models, and that may indlicate if something may not work. The kernel/drivers are the improtant aspect.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] e8hffff:
What OS are you using? Google is constantly changing Android Studio and the added modules. Then others may build with options removed. Personally I use Archlinux and load up standalone android-tools from the community repository. Currently v33.0.3-3

Try fastboot --help

Your version may have

fastboot flashing unlock_critical
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] e8hffff:
What I found works, is when using SPD Research Tool, load up the firmware.pac and then go into settings and click "Select All Files" and again to unselect, which leaves the default required items.

Then manually change BOOT to the Magisk img. Then click on all VBMETA types, and UBOOT_LOADER (may not be required though). Then flash.

You should get bootable tablet (no looping). Warning: UserData partition is written over.

I'll share my Magisk image for v1.2
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jorkusjorkus:
I'm using the same version as you on the same OS. After some research it seems like unlock_bootloader was removed in this commit from 2018. From what I can tell, unlock_critical does something else (unlock_bootloader runs

fb_queue_download("unlock_message", data, sz); fb_queue_command("flashing unlock_bootloader", "unlocking bootloader");

while unlock_critical runs

do_oem_command("flashing", "unlock_critical" and doesn't take the signature argument);

)

I'll see if I can compile the older version with the needed command.

What about my other questions?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dougcwb:
Issue: Android not starting. I had the infinite restart when plugged in the usb. I tried to reload the installation package (succeeded), but didn't fixed the issue. Battery was not charging yet. When I started the Teclast M40 pro, the logo showed up, but the tablet turned off again.

Solution: I have disassembled the cover, unplugged the 5 pin plug from the battery for half hour and plugged again. When I tried to turn it on, everything was fine.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] e8hffff:
Wow that's weird Doug. Remember this, if you don't already know, that you can do a cold start by holding down the power button for over 10 seconds, on most devices.

I guess you're running now on rooted tablet !!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dougcwb:
I did the installation package process that the Teclast sent me. The last thing they told me to do was keep trying to install the package (wft?). Well, I just open the tablet, unplugged the battery for a while and after that it worked.

Maybe this resolved 2 things:

1-the battery was not properly connected in the first place, so when I plugged the 5 pin to the board it connected as it should.

2- Maybe there is a "memory" in the board attached to the battery that was bricked (or something like that) when I pulled off the plug, this memory was reseted.

BTW, when the tablet came to life again, the battery was at 87%.

Friend, I have a Teclast T50 and I wanted to put another ROM on it, is it possible?

*********************

Amigo, eu tenho um teclast T50 e queria por outra ROM nele, é possível ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] e8hffff:
I don't think it will if you are aiming for another tablet's rom. If the chipsets and core memory size are the same then it may work. If it fails, then flash the factory firmware back.

You could also use the same techniques I have posted for M40-Pro on your M50. Like to flash the rom, or get root mode on a factory firmware.

I hope you get a good outcome!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cyrax-001:
Is there any custom rom for the M40 Pro (6gb RAM variant)? I read here and there that flashing gsi rom is possible but never seen any link. Do you know by any chance where I can find any?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] e8hffff:
If your model is just different in memory size to the rom you're targeting, then it should work. Memory size would be calculated during OS, not embedded in code
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cyrax-001:
Yes I understand, but I just want a link to these roms. Is there any link that you know of?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] e8hffff:
This thread/guide is about getting root mode. Once you have root you can install Magisk and it's modules to improve the system. I haven't pursued any custom roms as there's not much to change other than Android versions. Someone with a M40 could hack a M50/M50-Pro rom to cater for the modules for the camera and any other different hardware. They both have the same SoC/CPUs as far as I know, the T616.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cyrax-001:
I was referring to GSI roms. Since Android 11 is becoming obsolete, I was thinking it would be good if we could flash some android 13 GSI rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cyrax-001:
By the way the M50 / M50 Pro have for a strange reason slower CPUs!! the Unisoc Tiger T606 / T616 respectively while the older M40 Pro has the faster T618
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] e8hffff:
Updated some of the downloads to fix any flashing problems. Also put in a warning not to allow Magisk v2.7 and up, to inject any new code, else it will ruin your signed rooted boot.

https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] e8hffff:
These general roms are just building blocks. You'd need to work on them to get drivers working for camera, Bluetooth, WiFi, LTE, etc. Then the kernel will most likely be basic ARM, not tailored to a specific SoC, like MediaTek and added features, resulting in slow operations. I'm no expert so maybe you can get something worked out!

Is there a way to get microG running with this? I can't install microG, because I can't uninstall the original GmsCore from /product/priv-app. I tried remounting the partition as read-write and deleted the GmsCore directory, but after rebooting, the directory was back.

From what I can tell, you can't actually mount that partition as rw from inside android, so I would need some sort of recovery. The stock recovery doesn't let me use adb though, saying that my computer isn't authorized.

Any help?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] e8hffff:
I don't think the resources here will work with the M50, but you could try to mimic the process with your own collected resources suited to the M50.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] e8hffff:
They should. You'd need root access, and replace the core Google files. These tablets are pretty restricted, though so adb option may fail. If it work then push the alternative apps into the right directories, and delete the official Google ones. The alternative is using a root able file browser to directly tinker. The third option is to attempt a custom rom. I haven't put much time into this tablet other than getting root access so as to run ad removers & iptables stuff.

[Realme GT 2 Pro] Bartekgegol2:
Hello! Anyone know why Material You doesn't work in this device (I'm not sure if it doesn't work in general or this is the problem with my device)? The color accent of Google apps (Gboard, Calendar, Messages, Gmail) is always blue/turquoise no matter which wallpaper is setup. Material You worked like a charm in my previous device (GT Neo 2 updated to Android 12 / Realme UI 3.0) so the color accent changed every time when new wallpaper was chosen. Any ideas, what's wrong?

Hello there,

does anyone know if there is a possibility of inserting a stronger battery into the S710? The current one (factory, I guess, since I've never replaced it) is 1050 mAh. I could realy do with a longer battery life. But, can't we all!

Who knows if and what is possible when it comes to the battery?
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
There are extended batteries, just search eBay. They have like 200 and more mAh, but they come wit an extended back plate too, so it sticks out quite a bit...
[HTC Vox] parthabhatta:
It seems that I am having a problem with my battery. Its draining from a full charge to 80% within 15 minutes of use (If I dont use it stays at 98-99). Is it natural or has the time arrived for changing a battery. Moreover, I observe that there is nowhere written HTC Ltd on my battery. Its written 'Manufactured by Simple Technology Co Ltd, China". So is the battery original ? On average I loose my battery within 18-20 hours from 100% to 7-8% on 60 to 120 minutes of surfing and 30 to 60 minutes of average calling daily.

I have signal strength mostly 90 to 100%. Occassionally it drops to 70%
[HTC Vox] dekraan:
the only way I can help you is by saying that I have the same (if it says: Simplo) manufacturer, and that this is the battery that came with my phone. So unless the webshop I bought it at is cheating, you've got the right battery. I've had it for a little more than a year now, and I'm not familiar with your problem...!
[HTC Vox] parthabhatta:
Thanks dekraan. It is indeed Simplo (and not Simple). But then I am facing this problem. What is your average battery life ? I have to wait if somebody else can throw some light on this topic.

Using Fireburned clean ROM 1.1

Applications running in the background (excepting system files) : Featherweather2 files, mortscript, keylock.

the S710 battery does have an issue it seems.

Mine ran out of juice after 9 months of juice so I got it replaced by a new one.

[HTC Vox] dekraan:
Well, you can probably guess I am not so happy with the batterylife of the S710, since thats why I started this topic :p. I think with moderate use (texting, some calling and sometimes a little surfing) and WM 6.1 standard, I have to reload it at least once in three days. I have noticed though that if I surf, my battery seems to lose about a percentage each minute!
[HTC Vox] parthabhatta:
Well thats where my problem starts. I am an avid surfer and my battery also drains on a similar rate when I surf. So my battery seems to be ok. A few more comments can clarify the things further.
[HTC Vox] tusitala:
I can't clarify -- I can only confirm the problem. I have to charge my S710 throughout the day. I've tried the complete drain/complete charge method with no discernible improvement. Using WiFi used to drain the battery very quickly, but now any time I try to use WiFi, the phone immediately turns off as though it's been instantly drained to 0.

Hi,

Just got a korean variant of this phone recently and it's been really great so far.

Only issue I noticed is when using when taking videos/photos using the gimbal mode, the quality is really bad. The video becomes really grainy and darker even on a well lit room(w/ really bright white light) but when recording outdoors where there is lots of sunlight, the video quality seems to be ok. I tried modifying the limited settings on the gimbal mode(resolution and gimbal mode shutter speed) but the quality remains the same.

Is this normal for this device?
