Hey. I appreciate all your help. I can pretty much see that rooting it may be locked or not possible at the moment, so I will best not do it, but thank you for helping me figure out how to root any other brand as well. I won't need anything else from here, thanks!

3 pages of posts and nobody mentioned mtkclient for bl unlocking

https://www.totalbyverizon.com/smartphones/tcl-30-t-prepaid confirmed mtk chip
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterc123:
Hi, I was able to extract the boot.img but I can't seem to nuke the vbmeta partitions or reliably flash the patched boot.img back to the phone. I've determined mtkclient does NOT work on this device at this time even though it has a MT6761 and a security level patch of 05-2023.

Here's what I've found so far:

MTKclient does NOT work on this device. BROM may be patched

Device doesn't have a preloader mode that can be booted into. Any preloader actions appear to be a race condition until device restarts (crashes)

Device doesn't have a bootloader mode that can be activated

Fastboot can be activated but appears to be limited

Bootloader can be unlocked

Since bootloader can be unlocked, DSU can be used to boot a vanilla image to gain root

Extracted boot.img can be patched with Magisk

Extracted boot.img can be flashed back to device to restore working boot

Magisk patched boot.img causes bootloop currently

DD writing the images back to device partitions does NOT seem to work. The partitions are read-only and the mount rw command is not allowed even from SU root

What I've done so far:

Used mtk-bootseq.py from this post to get into a "limited" fastboot mode (works every time but doesn't allow flashing boot or vbmeta)

Used the "fastboot reboot fastboot" from PC command to get into fastbootd mode (more functional but still limited. Does NOT allow flashing vbmeta)

Successfully unlocked bootloader with "fastboot flashing unlock" command from PC

Installed DSU Sideloader app to install the AOSP "system-squeak-arm64-ab-vanilla.img" and booted into it

Used Superuser app included in image to grant super user access to ADB and apps

Used "adb shell" command from PC to get into shell and used "su" command to gain root access

Used dd command "dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img" to extract boot.img

Rebooted back to normal system

Successfully patched extracted boot.img with Magisk

Triggered Fastboot and flashed patched boot.img to device

Erased user data and cache in recovery mode and rebooted

Device then bootloops until going into recovery (not easy with bootloop) and powering down

Triggered Fastboot and flashed original extracted boot.img to device

Device boots successfully again but still not rooted

Has anyone had any success with rooting the 30T that can point out what I might be missing? I'm really close but I can't seem to figure out how to flash empty vbmeta (if needed) and reliably flash the patched boot.img. I've attached the extracted original boot.img. This is from a Tracfone Wireless phone with Android 12 and vR78 update.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luridphantom:
afaik it uses a/b slots so you might need to patch both boot slots to get root. just make you backup well
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterc123:
I don't see a second boot partiton to flash to. There are multiple preloaders but I only see one boot partiton. I tried extracting any other partiton that has "boot" in the name but Magisk wasn't able to patch it. I'm afraid I'm left with more questions than answers and stumped by this. Any other suggestions?

Here's the directory listing and fastboot info I was able to pull.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luridphantom:
with mtkclient, erase userdata and md_udc, then flash the empty vbmeta to the vbmeta partition only and try rooting again. doesnt hurt to erase through recovery one more time to get rid of any dm-verity errors
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterc123:
My experience with mtkclient mirrors that of the original post in this thread. However, I was able to get a little bit further by holding down the power and volume down buttons for 14 seconds which cause a restart back into the preloader. This allowed the exploit to try again. After 5 times restarting, the exploit seems to beat the preloader crash/restart and starts the exploit but then hangs (screenshot). I am reasonably sure mtkclient does not work at all with TCL 30T at this time. I suspect the carbonara exploit may be successful but it isn't included with mtkclient at this time even though the source code mentions it as an exploit type.

If I were to root this device, it seems to me that it would be without any functionality from mtkclient. I've got an AOSP with gapps image running and set it as "sticky" so it boots up in that environment. Since this isn't my daily driver, I'm ok with it until either a different method other than mtkclient is discovered or when the carbonara exploit is released with mtkclient.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luridphantom:
id open an issue on bkerlers github requesting the carbonara exploit be added to mtkclient, hes already aware of it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvikrant97:
Has anyone tried with a custom preloader with MTK client?

Maybe it will help.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] mad13maddy:
So, recently my z fold 3 developed some small Cracks on the inner screen along the "CREASE". It's more than a year of use and now it's not under the warranty. It seems to be a common problem as these folding screen have a limited lifespan..

What to do..??
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] _GRIZZLY_:
Are you unfold in temperatures below 0 degrees celcius?

If you are cracks so only possible is replace screen, use like this for full damage or sold like broken and buy new device.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] m_w_clarke:
Just check it's not the factory fitted screen protector that's not cracked. Mine cracked after ~12 months.

This can be removed and the screen has been fine since (>2 months now)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] mad13maddy:
No man.. I removed the screen protector long time ago when the factory fitted screen protector started to intake bubbles along the crease.. after using it for a while I removed the screen protector and now I can discover new tiny cracks in every 2-3 days... it feels the screen will break in half if this continues..
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] hkr:
You removed the Screen Protector and now you complain, that the screen developped some cracks? and now you want to know, what to do?

It's easy: Send it in for repair or dispose your device and buy a new one ...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] m_w_clarke:
Thats a shame. I agree with the post above, I think cold temperatures make them more susceptible.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Allmightyusfame:
You HAVE TO when it bubbles up, because it traps dirt and actually cracks the screen early. The screen protector doesn't protect from cracks forming in the crease of the display.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] _GRIZZLY_:

Multiple Galaxy Z Fold 3 users are complaining about a cracked internal display even though their phone sustained no trauma.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ycats:
My inner screen protector went bonkers about a week or two before 1 yr warranty expired last August....contacted Samsung and they sent me to a place to have a new screen protector installed (no fee). The person didn't do a good job, had a few bubbles.....I eventually traded it in to Samsung at the time the ZFold4 came out. Hope inner screen protector lasts longer.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] golalmo:
The same crack happened to me as well.

I had to remove the screen protector after 6 month because it started to peel at the crease, trapping dust under it.

Two month after warranty expired, the screen cracked internally in the middle.

Our local samsung dealer claim that I broke the screen though no damage can be seen.

Someone should put a class action against samsung. It seems that everyone who purchased a samsung foldable device, will join the claim.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] winoles:
in some cases I have seen this same issue, and mostly, it is a carrier related issue
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mario919:
Depends a little on what is happening.

If you don't get an OTA download, but you see on SamFirm that there is an new firmware for your phone. This can sometimes happen, in that case one way to resolve it is to download the new firmware from a reliable source and flash the phone with Odin. Once done it generally resolves itself, and the next OTA just works normally.

If there aint a new firmware for your phone like its a carrier specific version for your phone, then your out of luck, as you will have to wait for your carrier to make it available. Now in this case there are sometimes options, like i had one phone with a carrier software, but i could also flash the regions general firmware that was available, or one from an other european country. But how this works for your country, you will have to look that up.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Er. Aditya:
Thanks bro i usually download with friza and never encountered any issues but il take your suggestion...my device is open and unlocked we in india dont get carrier locked devices bro...also can u share a valid and reliable link for sm-s908e with ins as region...thanks bro
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Marcelocohenarg:
For unlocked devices the upgrades usually take longer because they need to be sure that it will work with all possible carriers. As an example, I have a carrier unlocked device in Argentina and only 2 days ago I finally received the Android 13 update. So, did you checked in the official pages that there is a new version for your phone?

That is where i get my firmware. In case i need it for my own or somebody else.

Maybe handy to look up on YouTube to see how the process goes, if you dont feel confident in doing this, maybe they can do it at some phone repair shop or something similar.

There should also be a lot of Indian people who wrote about flashing the rom of you phone in your own language.

its been 3 months all my friends who have same device , same region get the updtes i dont

thanks buddy i have flashed the latest the now all i can do is wait for next month update and see if my device gets it or not

Does anyone know of a way to make the read only file system r/w?
[Google Pixel 6] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Those who know more will correct me if I'm wrong. From what I remember about this, there is no method because the partition doesn't have enough space to accommodate the permissions changes needed for all files and folders. So in short, you can't do what you're attempting, which is why modified files need to be applied via Magisk.

I have ATT Tilt (AKA Kaiser, Tytn II) with original rom, WM6. I am also paying the $30 for PDA personal unlimited data plan. Internet has been working for the last 7 months since I got the phone but it stopped for the last few days except for Opera Mini and Tethering. QuickGPS, SPB weather/news, Pocket IE will not connect thru 3G or EDGE even though they do establish a connection. But once the connection is established Opera Mini 4 and tethering to my computer work without a problem.

All of these apps however do work through WIFI (they just dont work with data/3g). I tried to do a search on this forum without any help. I tried soft resetting my phone many times. I dont want to hard reset since I have too many programs installed. Under settings>connections>select networks>"i chose MediaNet for both". For proxy settings I chose "This network connects to the internet". A proxy server was not chosen. Username and password are blank. wap.cingular is what is listed under MediaNet.

Thank you,

Any help is appreciated

Since you have the stock ROM, I suggest asking your provider's tech support.

I though about contacting att tech support. But technically the internet does work since I am able to surf with Opera Mini in my PDA. There should be no reason why the other apps wont connect when there is an established connection.

Then I used restoreHiddenProxy4CWS_0522.cab in Windows folder in the pda. I soft reset and it still didn't work. So next I did removeHiddenProxy4CWS_0522.cab in the Windows folder and soft reset. It started working after that. Hope this helps someone else.

I have used company portal for a couple of years now and my university was bought out by a hospital so now we have two different emails and two different calendars. The new hospital system has their own intune company portal but I also need to see my university calendar. The two do not play well together and I can only have one on my phone and they want the hospital in tune company portal on my phone meaning I can't get access to my university calendar. I did have it so I somehow was able to open it up in an Outlook app and look at my University calendar but I had to sign out and use desktop rather than mobile. I cannot remember how I was able to have both calendars and email on my phone, but I definitely was able to do it but it only lasted for about 3 days. I can explain in more detail if anybody has any questions but my bottom line is I would love to be able to see both calendars at once in my phone. I have a university email and a hospital email but can only look at the hospital portion because of their in tune policy. I hope this makes sense and thank you

So the galaxy A52 does not officially come with samsung object eraser but users could still sideload the apps and use it. But after the recent update (OneUI 5.0) I cannot sideload and use the feature like before. Object, reflection and shadow eraser apks are getting installed just fine, but doesn't appear in the menu like before and the latest version of photo editor app isn't getting installed at all, it's showing unable to update. Is there any workaround for it? did you guys manage to get it or we just have to give up?
