Install the Magisk app, extract the boot.img from inside your firmware and patch it with Magisk. Then flash the patched boot.img with fastboot flash boot "your patched image" and start your device.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] kzquandary:
Wow thanks sir, its worked like magic
[Realme GT 2] BR4UTAL:
Pre requisites

• Unlocked Bootloader (probably only Indian variant?)

• ADB and Fastboot drivers (I'm assuming you've set that up since you unlocked bootloader)

• Python (used to extract boot image)

• Your stock rom (I found it here: https://realmefirmware.com/)

• time (need some time to download your stock rom and get a hold of your boot image)

Steps:

1) Download Oppo_Decrypt tool from here:

https://github.com/bkerler/oppo_decrypt

2) Extract the contents and place in a folder

3) go to that folder and open a command prompt/power shell in the folder

4) Use commands accordingly

If you've added pip to path:

pip install -r requirements.txt

If you've not added pip to path:

Python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

done? Everything installed?

now get your rom zip file, inside it you'll find a big .ofp file, extract that ofp file and place in the folder where you've extracted your tools

now inside this very folder where ur tools are, create another folder and name it "extract" (tbh u can name the folder anything you want but for the sake of explanation I named it that)

now open a command prompt in the folder where the tools are kept

type: Python

Press space

drag and drop the "ofp_qc_decrypt.py" file in the command prompt

Press space

Drag and drop the large .ofp file you extracted

Press space

Drag and drop the extract folder

Press enter

Wait for a while till there's a message saying

"Extracting super.img" or something along the lines

Exit out of command prompt

Go to the extract folder you'll see a file called "boot.img"

Send this boot.img file to your phone

(Also recommend keeping a copy of the boot.img on your PC for safety)

Install Magisk Manager Apk from the official website on your phone

Open Magisk manager

Click on Install

Click on select and patch a file

Choose the boot.img file you just sent from your PC

after done send the magisk_patched.img to your PC

Now boot your phone into Fastboot mode

(I'll assume you know how to since you've unlocked bootloader)

Connect your phone to your PC using USB cable

open a command prompt and check if your device is connected by typing:

fastboot devices

if it shows up then proceed

type:

fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img

(Your file name can be different you can just drag and drop the file)

after it says success, type:

fastboot reboot

after reboot open Magisk manager app (might ask u to download?)

and reboot if it asks you to

Congratulations you now have root access!

//seems to work for others, i thought it's only for indian roms, because of other posts and EU was locked out for so long, seems to work for EU, too. (y)

IMEI and Baseband only get lost if you unlock the bootloader with the wrong version or boot.img.

Can we make a boot.IMG for the RMX3311 so we can flash in Magisk ?
[Realme GT 2] karayemis:
Hello,

Is there a easy way to hide banking apps some function don't work because my device is unlocked.
[Realme GT 2] BR4UTAL:
It is the same method to extract boot image just get your corresponding rom and either use oppo decrypt tool if on version the phone ships with otherwise use payload dumper with correct ota
[Realme GT 2] BR4UTAL:
Safetynet fix may help but you need root
[Realme GT 2] karayemis:
Hi,

Thanks, worked for me my device it is rooted now and banking apps are working now.

Device: RMX3311 EU
[Realme GT 2] karayemis:
2 more questions:

1. is there a module i can use to activate call recorder on google dialer ?

2. When there is a new OTA can I just install and repeat all above ?
[Realme GT 2] BR4UTAL:
When there is an ota update download it from software update and wait for it to finish extracting

DO NOT CLICK ON INSTALL

Go into Magisk

Do Uninstall Magisk > Restore System Images

Now Click on Install Magisk > Click Install to Inactive slot (after ota)

click ok and let's go

DO NOT CLICK ON THE REBOOT BUTTON

Now go to software update and click Install, your phone will reboot with root available still and ota update applied
[Realme GT 2] geovision:
For the model 3311 (EU) is there a step by step guide for root? Please, if exists, drop it here. Thank you
[Realme GT 2] BR4UTAL:
The process is the same but instead of IN rom you need to get boot image from EU rom
[Realme GT 2] karayemis:
Banking app stops working after a while, this is the second time it stopped working.
[Realme GT 2] smashda:
Here's the Thread for it, you can just use the search on top of the page for things you want to fix, the banking issues come with root and you can find the appropriate Threads when searching for Magisk.

[XPERIA X1 General] Leahcim:
Have you tried it?

/Mike
[XPERIA X1 General] emwdava:
I have tried it and found that the installation was complicated. I got totally "spammed" with different settings and skins to choose from during the setup. Maybe that's a good thing if you actually know what every choice you make will do. I would only recommend this if the setup was made easier.
[XPERIA X1 General] Leahcim:
Is it stable when it is installed?

/Mike
[XPERIA X1 General] Prinzessin Horst:
Is that app also made for the SPB Panel?
[XPERIA X1 General] TKCable:
Do you mean skins for SPB of for the SPB panel? Because those are two different things. You can alter the panel skin with the program at	http://www.imarche.net/omnia/index.php but then it's going to be all fu-up.
[XPERIA X1 General] markoc84:
I have installed this program and it works for the Shell Panel, which is really good and it allows you to change the skin and also all of the icons from so many different options, it is really good, the only problem i can find is that it keeps giving me 2 status bars at the top showing network, battery and clock,

anyone who has installed this know how to get rid of the second status bar???????

EDIT: actually the whole setting up thing for this is far too complicated and doenst actually work properly, all i want to do is change the background colours etc, anybody know how to do that?

Preface: Hey guys, I'm David. I'm pretty new to this forum so please excuse me if I make any mistakes.

-

Now we come to the problem, I bought a Nokia 7.1 (used) yesterday. The device itself works perfectly. I have the device "OEM Unlocked", and wanted to install TWRP. I used this TWRP version (https://twrp.me/nokia/nokia7.1.html). Strangely, the first errors occurred

.

I then somehow got into TWRP with adb boot TWRP.img. There the real problems began, I wanted to flash LineageOS with GApps: And not only that the "internal" device memory is not displayed to me despite drivers under Windows, but also the flashing (in this case via ADB Sideload) does not work at all. I do not quite know what I'm doing wrong, but it just annoys me. I sat now yesterday just under 7 hours on it, and also others did not know further. Now I turn to you. I hope one of you can help me.

TWRP Errors:

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi I have the same phone and I'm trying to root the stock firmware. As much as I understood the recovery can be run with "fastboot boot (recoveryname).img" command because flashing it makes the android unbootable. The root with Magisk seems a bit more complicated on the stock rom though, I will add details if I'll make it

Man... I have tried so many different IMEI Repair tools, Phones rooted (Magisk) and I have TWRP.. I backed up QCN with my null IMEI but cannot find the Hex or the "088A" Starting numbers for it to change it back to my original IMEI. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I will attach some pics and programs/tools I been using.. I was able to finally get a green light and pass on this one tool after I Extracted the files into platform tools and took ownership of the (tool).exe, however, after rebooting my phone, *#06# still reads "NULL"

yeah grab these files View attachment 5916525 on your A0.5 firmware an reflash them in fastboot an your imei might be fixed AS THIS METHOD WORKED FOR ME!!
[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] PsYk0n4uT:
Why are u flashing over persist? Don't do that unless it's your original, some of the partitions on your device are device specific as they contain your IMEI and serial , board number etc... And if they don't match then your radios and other things probably won't work again without reflashing your originals. Anyone feel free to correct me if I lack any info.... IMEI is stored on efs and persist partitions..... Integrity checks may even cause ur device to fail to boot, just a warning.....

Im pretty sure the whole phone is f*cked.. I flashed it to death.. lol. wont even turn on. screen stays black. Live and let learn I guess.

I don't want to go back to the homescreen from ambient mode, I just want to get back to the latest active app. This is the case for the first 30 minutes of ambient mode, after that it will return to the home screen.

Any way to make these 30 minutes (almost) infinitive?

Info from https://developer.android.com/training/tv/playback/ambient-mode:

If the user interacts with the device within 30 minutes of entering Ambient Mode, the app that was active when Ambient Mode was entered will be restored. If the user interacts with the device more than 30 minutes after entering Ambient Mode, they will be returned to the Home screen.
[HTC Excalibur] tuppaacc:
It looks like not every knows this.

In settings on connections on GPRS:

1- If you have the tzones Hack 5.99:

And you still using proxy hack try to change your acces point from " wap.voicesteam.com " to " epc.tmobile.com " you should get a better connection and better speed also get skyfire working :D !

PS: don't forget to delete your proxy and change from " connects to the wap network " to " connects to the internet "

If YOU have the new web2go 10.00:

1- Or you miss out on the tzones you will need to get the web2go T-mobile its not offering it anymore so if YOU have the 5.99 and remove it and then want it back you will have to pay 10.00 instead of the regular 5.99.

2- However t-mobile its doing IMEI checks on your phone if YOU have a pocket Pc or Smartphone the will deny the service and tell you to put the 20.00 EDGE internet (and thats not a hack) so get a friend that has a regular t-mobile phone and ask him to let you borrow his phone for a second call T-mobile ask for the web2go 10.00 they will tell you tzones 5.99 its not longe available and they will ask you for the brand of your phone (tell them the model of your friends phone NEVER TELL THEM ABOUT YOUR PHONE or they will cought you on the lie) they will also ask, I think its only the first 4 or 6 digits of the IMEI number give them your friends phone IMEI N#

3- once you have the web2go on your acct you just usually have to wait 2H. On your GPRS setting you should have " wap.voicesteam.com " and NOT! " epc.tmobile.com " as an acces point or else you will get a different page and not connect to the internet at all.

4- and most important (PS: don't forget your tricking t-mobile customer service in thinking you have a regular phone and NOT a PPC or a SP so its up to you if you want to lie and just DON'T blame it on ME! )

~~~Edited 3/26/2009 9:45 pm~~~

Ok So I didn't found this anywhere else so I'm adding it to this old post.

1$ a day for unlimited TxT, IM, WEB and 00.15C a min.

1- Get a Prepayd sim card from T-mobile (yes on prepay)

2- activate your sim card and ask for the "sidekick plan" they might ask you for a sidekick IMEI number so find a friend or something!! (I got lucky and didn't got asked for one.)

3- Once activated, get into your "Connection Setting" and on "GPRS" find "T-mobile Data"

4- Edit the "Access point" from whatever you have (usually: wap.voicestream.com) to hiptop.t-mobile.com

ENJOY!!!! ^_^ ENJOY!!!!

PS: BTW regular Internet Explorer does not work for me but email and Skyfire does.

Known Access Points:

wap.voicestream.com

internet2.voicestream.com

internet3.voicestream.com

epc.tmobile.com

hiptop.t-mobile.com

Tzones Proxy:

216.155.165.50:8080

ENJOY!!!! ^_^ ENJOY!!!!
[HTC Excalibur] qaplus:
I used this epc.tmobile.com for a while. It's certainly better than the wap.voicestream.com. However, a month later I noticed an entry on my monthly bill, something like "Internet Data Usage xxMB". There's no extra charge. But I switched back to wap.voicestream.com just to be on the safe side.

With the new proxy I believe that they will be charging you, so its better to stay with wap if anything.

[HTC Excalibur] Bupahs:
If someone is stealing the service through the 'hack' T-Mobile has every right to charge for the use of it. If you are accessing the service it is obvious that you want it or you would not have 'hacked' your device to use it. Just be thankful T-Mobile has not decided to charge for unauthorized use and make that new 20.00 charge a few hundred dollar charge. Its not like your device is accidently connecting to the network, you have to actually edit device settings to do it, thats called premeditation.
[HTC Excalibur] Beasting:
What would be the correct settings for this on t-mobile dash
[HTC Excalibur] audiobastard:
i don't agree

Even if it is premeditation, its your phone. I basically consider premeditation an erroneous assertion and I really don't think it has anything to do with this issue. If they put features on your phone that you can access, I don't think they can simply charge you for using them w/out reasonable notification. Since its t-mobiles responsibility, not the consumers to keep features out of phones (which we see they do often like no 2nd camera in htc phones), it is unreasonable to charge w/out notice for a defect or oversight that can be best prevented by the seller since he/she is in a superior position to ensure it is not available or exploitable. If they do, just say no and I'm sure they will 1) say ok, but don't do it again or 2) charge you once for unlimited data if you've used a significant amount of it.

In either case; be skeptical of what t-mobile sales people say about this stuff unless you know them personally and well. They get told all kinds of stuff in a disinformation dissemination effort to get the "fear" out on forums such as these.
[HTC Excalibur] renegadedj:
i want the faster internet, i might do this. if i dont get a g1 first,.
[HTC Excalibur] tuppaacc:
No! way man

1st-

T-mobile will not charge you $20.00 for one simple reason because its not good marketing... They rather keep you paying your cheap ass $5 or 10 dlls per month for more than 2 months than charge you $20.00 dlls for that one time and then you decide to cancelled the service because you think their assholes, they won't charge you hundreds of dlls because you know you will cancelled your service and its simply not a money making idea for Tmo.

(If T-mobile be thinking the way you were thinking I bet they actually lost more money than they would make from those $20.00 dlls, so the worst it could happened its just that the port gets blocked and that's it.)

2nd-

It doesn't affect T-mobile as much as you would think only the smallest percentage of people that actually pay for internet do this so called "Hack" therefore Tmo has nothing to worried about and even so people that don't want to pay for internet suddenly came across something like "$5.99 Tzones Hack" they suddenly decide to get the web so therefore you have a person who wouldn't pay $20.00 bucks for web but suddenly its paying 5 bucks for it. T-mobile wins whether its a small profit out of someone who wouldn't pay for something like $20.00 bucks.

And its not that I work at T-mobile like that one (lame) guy from previous post said that we were going to get charge, so theres nothing to be thankful for.

Its just simple marketing strategy that's all... Duh!
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
they won't charge you hundreds of dlls because you know you will cancelled your service and its simply not a money making idea for Tmo

Not so easy if you signed a contract.

It doesn't affect T-mobile as much as you would think

No one said it would it's the users who pay for it.

And its not that I work at T-mobile like that one (lame) guy from previous post said that we were going to get charge

Maybe not a good idea to speak about a mod like that?
