[Root Guide] Shanling M3X DAP

SAFTY INFORMATION: Whatever you do, its on your own responsibility. Your warranty might be void and there is the risk of bricking your device!​
So this is what I did:
Tools
Magisk-v25.2.apk
Latest M3X Firmware
ADB Tools
EDL.py
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Extract the boot.img from M3X Firmware V1.62- Do not open, just copy.zip
Copy the Magisk-v25.2.apk and boot.img to your Shanling M3X
Install the Magisk-v25.2.apk
In Magisk press "Install" in the upper right corner
Spoiler

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
On "Method" select "Select and Patch a File" and choose your boot.img then press "Let's Go"
Spoiler
When Magisk is done, you can close the App and transfer the patched boot.img to your PC.
On your M3X, activate Developer Mode. Settings > About device > Tap multiple times on the Build number
In Developer Options, activate USB debugging
On your PC extract the platform-tools.zip and install EDL.py
Plug the M3X into your computer with a good USB cable. You may be promted to allow USB debugging on the M3X - check "Always allow from this computer" and OK
Open a Command/Terminal window and navigate to your platform-tools folder
Use following command
Code:
adb reboot edl
the display of your M3X will now turn black
In the Command/Terminal window navigate to your EDL.py installation
From now on you could brick your device, please advance only if you know what you are doing!
I would highly recommend to do a backup of everything with the commands mentioned on the EDL Github site​
14. Use following command to dump your stock boot.img
Code:
edl r boot boot.img
the stock boot.img will appear in your EDL folder, move to a safe space.
15. Now copy your Magisk patched boot.img into the EDL folder and run following command:
Code:
edl w boot boot.img
16. When EDL is done, you can disconnect your M3X. You might need to hold the powerbutton for 20-30 seconds until it leaves edl mode and starts booting.
17. Congratulations! You rooted your M3X
Further information: There seems to be a undocumented method using the tool "QFIL" but I dont know anything about it. Might ne worth a try.
Have fun
Thanks for this tutorial. Can you drop some screen shots and an overview of what you're able to change now that you're rooted.
I've been thinking of getting a HiBy R6. But it being on Android 9 is annoying. My guess is if I can get it rooted, that it's possible to update to a newer version of Android.
Hi, I’m trying to root my M3 Ultra with this method but I’m facing a problem.
On windows when trying to enter « edl r boot boot.img » it says me that « r » is not a command…
Any help would be really appreciated please
Thanks in advance for replying

How To Guide How To: Region Switch on Nord2T

Hello again everyone. This is a quick guide on how to change Regional firmware on our Nord2T device (ie going from CPH2399 to CPH2401)
I cannot be responsible if you brick your device. Your phone, your choices, your responsibility!​
Before we get started I would recommend unlocking the bootloader (unsure if this is a necessity but my device was unlocked at the time of trying so I would recommend users do the same)
1 - Unlock the bootloader (if you haven't done it already...beware that this will erase all of your user data). To do so, you must:
Enable developer options
Enable the "OEM unlocking" option
Enable USB debugging
Have both adb and fastboot, from SDK Platform Tools available on your PC
Connect your phone to your PC using the USB cable and run the following commands:
Code:
adb devices
(just to make sure that your phone is, in fact, recognized by your PC and that you're able to run adb commands)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(so your phone will reboot into fastboot mode)
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
(device should now unlock)
Code:
fastboot reboot
(device reboots with an unlocked bootloader and data partition wiped)
2 - Download and Install Fastboot Enhance from HERE
3 - Download the IND rollback package from HERE
4 - Extract the rollback package zip to your PC (the only file you need once it is unzipped is payload.bin)
5 - Connect your device back to PC and reboot to fastboot yet again.
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
6 - Once in fastbootd open Fastboot Enhance on PC and you should see your device in the "Fastboot Visualization" tab.
Make sure to click on "Ignore unknown partitions" on the bottom of the screen. Then click on the "partitions" option and under partitions and delete every file that ends with "cow" refer to screenshot, just select and delete.

}
7. Click on "Flash payload.bin" and browse for the payload.bin you extracted earlier.
8. Once flashed you can reboot (recommended to either factory reset from settings after the device restarts or wipe data in fastboot for a smoother experience.
This is only tested on a Global device using firmware version CPH2399_11_A.17 and flashing IND CPH2401_11_A.17 ROLLBACK PACKAGE!!
Subsequent updates will now be on the IND branch for your device also.
Hope this helps someone out!
If anyone has any questions/input/recommendations please feel free to discuss below and any issues we will help to resolve them.
Have a good day peeps
