No. The Pixel 6 Pro stock rom is one of the most straightforward to root with Magisk 27.

However, there is no TWRP for Pixel 6, so you'll need to fastboot if you're going to using lineage. Personally, I stuck with stock as it is the most up to date and secure, and still in its guaranteed update period. With modules, I still have device integrity and a working Google wallet.

There's no official Lineage 21, but some unofficial variants. Scroll through the threads to find them. Eg iodeOS.

The system partition is read only, so you'll need to work round that if using stock.

Follow the guides to root manually, or find and use pixelflasher if you prefer a more gui friendly approach to the stock rom.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Agreed, use magisk, patch boot.img, flash to boot partition and done, ROOT'd. Nope no TWRP but it's not needed anyway. Magisk step by step directions are everywhere so don't be afraid to follow them (Google it). They work but you just need to patch the boot image then boot from it. 3 minute process
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bdr127:
Even easier to use PixelFlasher:

📳🔥 PixelFlasher, a GUI tool for flashing / updating / rooting / managing Pixel phones.

DESCRIPTION As the name suggests this is an application to flash (update) Pixel™ phones (possibly all Google™ made phones/tablets, YMMV.) PixelFlasher at its core is a UI layer (with bells and whistles) on top of adb / fastboot commands, hence...

xdaforums.com

No need to manually download anything (other than the actual PixelFlasher application). No need to manually patch images. No chance of accidentally mistyping something on the command line. PixelFlasher has made the rooting and build updating process even easier (with less chance for mistakes) on Pixel devices than they already were.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Probably but I'm an old school developer and prefer to do everything by hand so I can watch and see any output or errors. I just have it written out, with the exact syntax so I never error, but newbs might have hiccups with syntax, so I agree with you! Make it as easy as possible for the newcomers!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bdr127:
I feel the same way, and I had always done it out the long way up until about 6 months ago. Once I used PixelFlasher for the first time, I realized there was no going back. It's just so simple, streamlined, with no chance of error. Even something like having to adb pull and then fastboot flash boot the patched magisk boot image, you would need to look up what the new patched filename is and type that out (or at least rename it). None of that with PixelFlasher.

And if you want to see the output, like you said, you can watch it in the PixelFlasher console window at the bottom. It keeps logfiles of everything, so you can reference anything later if you need to, as well. It's all there for you.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Zaxx32:
If you stick with stock, I highly recommend the Pixel Xpert module to customize things to your liking...great mod!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] farhankarim:
how do you deal with experimental mods then?

with twrp we can restore like windows has windows restore. Do you just reflash the rom again after your phone messes up with some experimental mod/app?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Zaxx32:
U connect it to your pc and go to the Android tool site and just follow the instruction or flash manually or use Pixel Flasher app. Not hard at all...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] farhankarim:
do i need type c-c or c-usb.I currenlty have c-c charger but my laptop doesn't have a type-c port so to transfer files i use usb
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] majorfigjam:
Either is fine. You need a c on one end for the phone, and what ever fits your laptop on the other

You can't mess up the system partition with stock, as it's read only. Just remove any magisk modules, or uninstall lsposed.

If you truly mess up with mods, yes you can reflash the rom, with or without deleting user data.

But seriously, just read some of the other threads. If you have previously installed twrp and lineage, you are surely not a total beginner.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] farhankarim:
thanks alot.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] farhankarim:
will try this first then i will move to manual when i feel more geeky :ROFLMAO:. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] farhankarim:
I just noticed. OEM unlocked is disabled although the phone is factory unlocked.

also tried factory reset stil showing greyed out.

You need to find out if this was a verizon sourced phone. Using an imei checker is one way to do that.

If it was, then you are never going to root this phone - ever.

Check other threads for verizon issues.

Verizon Pixel 6 Pro Bootloader Unlock?

Its been a very long time since i have done any of this stuff. I bought the verizon version and cannot get bootloader unlocked. I have searched and see there has been the same problem in the past models. Is there a bypass or workaround? I can...

xdaforums.com
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bdr127:
Sim unlocked and OEM unlocked are two different things.

Sim unlock means the phone is not tied to a particular carrier company's mobile network. Sometimes called "carrier unlocked" if it was originally locked to a network and then the carrier released it to use with other carriers, or "factory unlocked" if it was not ever tied to a carrier's mobile network.

OEM unlocked, sometimes called "bootloader unlocked," means the phone's software has been opened up so that secure boot is disabled. Which, in turn, means you can root or flash ROMs. Nothing to do with a carrier or their mobile network.

The only similarity between the two terms is that they both include the word "unlocked." This similarity has caused a lot of confusion over the years since people assume that the two terms are the same or interchangeable.

So..... with that in mind, where did you buy your phone?

In addition, there are recent reports of T-Mobile-purchased phones blocking OEM unlock.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Zaxx32:
There's been several threads about carrier/sim unlocked Pixel showing the oem/bootloader grayed out. If your positive u don't have a Verizon pixel then checking those threads may help. Typically carrier/factory unlocked phones can be bootloader/oem unlocked as well...afaik
[OnePlus 12] giaur:
I purchased and paid 4 days ago, and still only sillence at their side. Looking at their FAQ: https://tradingshenzhen.com/en/faqs/questions-about-order-delivery-costums/how-long-shipping.html that should be "1-3 days for ordering and processing".

Has anybody tried to buy from them and how how much time did it take from order to shipment? In my case, shipping to Europe (Poland), but they did not even manage shipment yet.

They only keep spamming me with mails to buy that phone again, because they indicated it was in the cart previously (even after I removed it from the cart, they still keep writing the mails to complete transaction).
[OnePlus 12] bautrupp:
I ordered one on the fifth. It was shipped on the ninth. According to the tracking information in landed in germany this morning.
[OnePlus 12] null0seven:
I am European too.

I bought 2 Oneplus 12 from TradingShenzen.

One in january. Received in 21 days.

Second in february. Received in 1 month. Unlucky it was chinese hollydays. Just after hollydays it took more then a week to ship out my order.

The curier is Horrible as time ! But is OK because customer pay No taxes.
[OnePlus 12] christosal:
Dzien dobry !

Same good experience with this shop...

Around 20/21 days... To France

All good apart from the tracking of the package, which never worked...

Phone is ok, that's the most important!
[OnePlus 12] Ray_Blue:
I bought it from this shop on Aliexpress, not from the web.

I contacted them because this order was not shipped after 2 days.

They told me, 'Don't worry, we'll ship it tomorrow.'

They shipped the order the next day and it arrived to me a week after that.

The actual time it took for these was 10 days including the day I ordered OP12.

I live in Japan.
[OnePlus 12] Sieluck:
Same here. Ordered OP12 a month ago. Got it after 11 days. 4 days waiting for shipment and 7 days transfer. It went through Holland to Poland in 11 days. Last mile carrier was GLS as far as I remember. Just wait for your package and it will be there;)
[OnePlus 12] giaur:
In my case, now I'm only getting "Order Confirmed" message and no tracking number. I guess nothing is shipped yet. They wrote:

Your order with the ID XXXXXX was handed over to our shipping agent.​

Please be patient, the tracking will start soon:

Duration:

- Global Priority (Tracking ID in 6-14 working days)

- EU Priority (Tracking ID in 1-2 working days)

- UPS Express (Tracking ID within the next few working days)

The tracking ID is sent to us by the shipping service provider and takes a little while. As soon as the tracking ID is entered, you will automatically receive a new mail with which you can track the shipment.​

So I'm waiting for new mail with tracking number.

BTW I don't really understand how they are able to bypass customs fee. From official distribution, that phone cost is approx ~1200 EUR, their price is approx 850 EUR for 24 GB/1 TB model (which is not even available in Europe). I hope I will not pay and taxes, they promise I won't
[OnePlus 12] RASTAVIPER:
Is it true that esim doesn't work with these Chinese models and it just appears in settings, but it's not really operational?
[OnePlus 12] giaur:
Does it appear in settings? AFAIK, esim is not allowed in China, and there's no esim chip in Chinese version. That's interesting, can anybody check, esim actually works or not?
[OnePlus 12] RASTAVIPER:
This is what I know from a contact who brought a 12 model directly from China.

Of course esim doesn't work, doesn't matter what's written in settings.
[OnePlus 12] giaur:
That makes a sense. Chinese rom does not include any esim settings. When you switch to global rom, settings will be there but it won't make esim working
[OnePlus 12] null0seven:
My phone company does Not have OnePlus 12 in eSim compatible list.
[OnePlus 12] morfeas-dsl-:
Is it ok that they unlock the bootloader to flash the global rom, camera wise? I used to know years back, that unlocking, led to erasing some DRM keys from camera algorithms and they didn't operate the same ever again, but don't know if it is true nowadays.
[OnePlus 12] RASTAVIPER:
I am unlocking the bootloader to all my last 3 OP phones and never heard of what you are describing.

Is this even real?
[OnePlus 12] morfeas-dsl-:
Of course it is true but many people don't know it. It started with Sony 10 years ago. You can search Xperia drm bootloader unlock. The question is, if OnePlus still uses the same partition. If yes, then the camera would be degraded versus the unlocked one. If no, then there will be no problem.
[OnePlus 12] Demon God b:
I wouldnt worry. I would worry if my phone breaks after a few weeks the warranty will prob take weeks.

U will need to pay for shipping probably £10 take a week to send back. The company processes it and inspects it probably another week.

Send it off to oneplus to get fixed another week they send it back to tradingshenzhen and they ship it to u probably another week or 2!

Or tradingshenzhen fixes it themselves which wouldn't surprise me.
[OnePlus 12] RASTAVIPER:
Total irrelevant example.

What happens with Sony, Samsung, Huwai mobiles doesn't affect Oneplus devices.

Different platforms and procedures.
[OnePlus 12] morfeas-dsl-:
You do understand the oneplus uses a Sony sensor and that the camera DRM is Sony's right?
[OnePlus 12] giaur:
4th day since I got tracking number:

Tracking number is provided, but it seems nothing is shipped yet.

View attachment 6104970
[OnePlus 12] JakoDel:
bro no disrespect but are you that clueless about buying from china? the package is coming from there and it's taking a dodgy route (which clearly doesn't make use of dhl or other popular couriers) to avoid customs. just wait and have some faith in a shop that has thousands of customers man..

afaik they give out the tracking for the china-> x european country route too but I may be wrong.
[OnePlus 12] giaur:
They wrote

As far as I understand, they have EU warehouse for shipment to EU countries: https://tradingshenzhen.com/en/faqs

It looks like they are going to ship item from Germany.
[OnePlus 12] JakoDel:
on products that have the EU banner on the site, yes. the op12 you bought didn't so it's coming from the chinese warehouse.
[OnePlus 12] RASTAVIPER:
To finalise this: can you find proof that Oneplus devices have a degraded camera, because of Bootloader unlocking?

If not, no reason to talk about this anymore, as it's a total theoretic question with no actual examples.
[OnePlus 12] giaur:
How bootloader status could affect camera? I think't there's some misunderstanding here. Camera can be degraded after you install custom rom, because stock camera from device manufacturer is not available in most cases, thus, many camera features and custom functionalities related to our phone are missing.
[OnePlus 12] Bethelgeuse:
that "unlocked bootloader" thing AFAIK, only happen in sony phone in era Z series to XZ3 series...

if u want bootloader unlocked but forget to tamper/backup some partition called "ta.partition" u will lose access (permanent) to proprietary software engine form sony like bravia engine (enhance color,etc)... if u relock bootloader without flashing that "ta.partition" u will permanently dont have feature like bravia engine,etc

and in Z series to XZ3 series, if u want use GCAM/modded GCAM u need flash custom ROM, because in stock/official ROM sony restrict any modification related to GCAM,cam2api or whatever it called to enable access library camera

rumor says in xperia 1 or newer version, u dont need to flash custom ROM to use GCAM/modded gcam but still limited access than other phone in that year

for huawei case, they stop officially to unlock their bootloader in 2018 within firmware EMUI 9.1

only few people that know/have access to root,rebrand(change rom),etc
[OnePlus 12] Adrianoooo:
Do you have 4G+?
[OnePlus 12] giaur:
To be more specific, you can't use not modified gcam on any phone other than Pixel, because it use some libs missing on other phones. That's why mods exist.

How Sony could block modded gcam? Is Camera2 api disabled there? That's actually standard Android way to access camera, recommend by Google, v1 api is deprecated
[OnePlus 12] giaur:
No, LTE+ but sometimes it changes to 4g+
[OnePlus 12] Bethelgeuse:
"How Sony could block modded gcam?" dont know, dont ask me.. ask sony.. :)) maybe they want guard their camera imaging system/proprietary software related so no one can "steal" their imaging system (just my wild theory :)) )....

"Is Camera2 api disabled there?" IIRC, last time i exploit with my dead xperia XZ1, when i checked with app cam2api probe it shows "limited/legacy", and when checked with app manual camera compability it shows "X" on raw support

but that was long time ago, i heard they loosen the strict on access camera library since xperia 1

AFAIK the Cubot X70 is based on Android 13: KingoRoot - and the like - is for devices running Android version up to Android 7.

If you can unlock phone's bootloader you can try Kitsune Mask to root the phone.

[General Questions and Answers] OclaomaKing:
I’ve been trying to root my Cubot X70 for a few days now, and I’ll list the steps I’ve taken so far. Please note that I haven’t successfully rooted it yet.

I unlocked the OEM Developer Options.

Enabled USB debugging from the Developer Options.

Downloaded the original MediaTek drivers and ADB drivers.

Downloaded the original MediaTek SP Flash Tool as a precaution in case of device bricking.

Obtained the system ROM stack (original manufacturer ROM) from the Cubot website (cubot.net).

Installed Magisk on the phone, transferred the ROM to the phone, and patched the ROM with Magisk to create the Magisk Patched Boot.

Renamed the Magisk Patched boot to “boot.img.”

Attempted to flash it using ADB & Fastboot with the following commands:

fastboot flashing unlock

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Also used the command:

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

Unfortunately, all these commands resulted in the same error:

writing 'vbmeta_b' FAILED (remote 'no support by lock control')

writing 'boot_b' FAILED (remote 'no support by lock control')

I then tried selecting the “Recovery” option and from there, chose “Reboot to bootloader.”

The Cubot X70 powered off and back on, displaying the usual Cubot startup screen, except for a small white-on-black text saying “FASTBOOT MODE.”

At this point, I decided to seek more information before proceeding further, as I’m not an experienced user.

I used the command fastboot reboot in the terminal opened in the ADB & Fastboot folder.

And that’s where my documentation ends for now. I’d like to know from more experienced users if I missed anything in the procedure before continuing. Regards.

Hey Everyone, I am new to XDA, and I have a little bit knowledge about Android Development, So lets come straight to the point, I found an Old Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos (i9082), and I have pretty much tried 10s, if not 100s of roms for my galaxy grand, but till now no one in the community has created a Android 12 (or Android Oreo above rom) for Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos, I am pretty sure this device can handle android 12, because Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100) got upgrades till Android 13, by the community, sure it was difficult, but they have achieved in doing it, so I thought if they can push the phone till Android 13, why cannot we push the phone till android 12, or even 10? But I cannot do this alone, I need help of you guys, every person who has helped me in this project will get credited, so please, I request everyone here, to help me build a custom rom for samsung galaxy grand duos, which will be running Android 12, So only thing I can do is with you guys.

Hi @Front3164,

I've moved this thread from "Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Android Development" to "Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General" because placeholder threads aren't allowed. Please see the stickied post at the top of each section:

Also, especially see this link in the second post of that stickied thread, as it will also apply to any Development thread:

Once you actually develop a ROM available for download and link to the up-to-date kernel used in the ROM, then you can re-report the OP in order to have the thread moved back to the Development section.

Please don't reply to me here in your thread. If you have any questions, you can send me, or anyone who is on the team who handles this device (also at the top of the stickied thread referenced above) a PM.

Thank you,

Hi all

Had a search around and couldn't find nothing relevant.

Has anyone managed to get tomtom 7.910 to install on the x1. I have read that it is suppose to run on wm6.1 devices but when im trying to install on my x1 it says device not supported.

I had tomtom 7.450 installed and this worked perfect.
