I no longer have access to any Windows 7 or XP machines, but would like to update my TWRP to the latest version: 2.8.1.1 (I believe I need to do that in order to flash any Lollipop ROM). I'm currently running 2.6.3 modified.
My notebook running Win 8.1 does not recognize the device via USB in adb. Nor have any other Win 8.1 machines I've tried, despite having the HTC drivers downloaded on all of them.
So the question is - can I update TWRP on my Evita via any other method? All the guides I've read on installing custom recoveries involve adb/fastboot.
Is there some way to flash the latest TWRP version (in a zip file format?) directly from my current version of TWRP, like how I would flash a new ROM?
Thanks for any help.

Don't bother attempting to use fastboot on any Win8.1 machine, it just isn't compatible. As for your question, there are several apps on the Play Store that'll flash a recovery for you. Here's a few:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools

While at it, any chance a special app exists specifically to upgrade firmware/hboot? Or is that still only possible via fastboot? Thanks again

That's a fastboot only operation.

Hey there,
I just received a H60-L02 shipped from Mainland China. Being on OS X, I had no trouble installing adb and unlocking the boot loader.
There is something I don't understand though : to gain root access on my phone, I need to install a modified ROM of Huawei's android upper layer ? Why is that so ? Do I need to find a ClockWordMod H60-L02 EMUI 3.0 Rom to root my H6 ?

Thanks, but I can't do that, insofar as I can't run .exe on OS X. Also, I'm trying to understand the basic concepts of rooting on android, in order not to **** things up by doing things I would do on other linux distribs. From what I get, rooting is installing a modified ROM in which everyone is a superuser ?

rooting is getting superuser access to any rom, if you take a look at the batch file, there is a link where you can download twrp, put it in the same directory where fastboot and adb files are
Code:
adb kill-server
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_2.8.0.1_h60.img
fastboot reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb reboot recovery
fastboot devices
Ok it works. From what I get, twrp is a manager that enables you, once the boot loader is unlocked, to flash whatever you want on your android system. So you flash SuperSu, and it is done.
Thanks a lot for your help and explanations !:good::good::good:
Hello all,
I've just bought a Z3 which I assume was running Android 4.x. I got ahead of myself and, instead of pushing the full Cyanogenmod zip file to the phone before, just unlocked the bootloader and fastboot-flashed the boot.img from the cyanogenmod 12.1 nightly. I knew I could push the zip files later on with adb and flash them. But since I didn't authorize my computer with this phone yet, it does not allow me to. Now the phone is not booting (shows the first Sony logo then a black screen that stays forever). I don't have access to a windows machine, just linux, to use the flash tool, so I was wondering if I could somehow get the boot.img from Android 4.3 or 4.4 to flash them, boot back into the OS, push the zip files and root it properly.
Thank you very very much!

Use flashtool to flash a stock FTF. that should restore your boot.img to the original one and enable you to boo the phone and do it properly

Dear gregbradley, thank you very much for your reply. My question is: isn't flashtool a windows-only tool? How could I do it from Linux?
Thank you very much!

It was originally developed for Linux. Goto flashtool.net and follow the instructions to install on Linux
I have always used adb on Linux to flash boot.img. flashtool for flashing and xperifirm to download ftf files.

Thank you very much, this saved my phone and my day!
Just bought the phone today (New). Its unlocked for provider, do I have to unlock the bootloader to root the phone?
It has Android 7.1 Nougat on it. What is the best way to get this rooted on the latest Pie update? Should I start with all the OTA updates first or do it differently?
I saw files needed and a video link here, but wanted to make sure before I start anything on it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...-twrp-t3806460
I received mine with 8.1
I did few times OTA in a row straight up to 9 and unlocked the bootloader
Note: it is recommended to use Linux host so fastboot can work properly
You can get adb for Linux and use
(Windows) adb devices (Linux) ./adb devices
(Windows) fastboot oem get_unlock_data (Linux) ./fastboot oem get_unlock_data
Good luck

once you updated to 9 using OTA, which process you used to root it?
I need to have the boatloader unlocked from motorola website before I can root or root can work without it?
you mean use the adb for linix fro root. Not use linix OS. I only use windows 10. Where Can I get that file?

Adding root requires touching the system, which requires an unlocked bootloader.
I've rarely used Linux and, from my experience on another phone, Windows 10 is just fine.
Download the needed ADB files from here:

Thank you.
Old files from the G4 unlock didn't work. I installed Android SDK and the Win msi from the Motorola site, couldn't locate the needed files (might just be me).
Going a little nuts. Downloaded, extracted, moved, worked to spec.
Thanks again.
Heya!
I was wondering if there are any existing tools or information about rooting Infinix Hot 11s? I've tried searching for anything related to it and I've seen a couple of threads with information about rooting old Infinix phones here, but to my understanding there isn't one related to this particular model.
It's powered by a Helio G88 processor and the operating system is a modified Android build called XOS. Full phone specs are here for anyone curious.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Rooting Android means installing a ~100KB piece of software ( SU-binary ) on it.
So either push a matching SU-binary onto Android filesystem or replace the pre-installed ( restricted ) version of Toybox with a matching unrestricted one, wil say with one that has SU-cmdlet incorporated.

Hi, thanks for the response!
I understand, but how would I go about doing that with this particular phone? Because to my understanding, I need TWRP, I haven't found a TWRP version for my phone and I fear using a TWRP build from other phones or older Infinix phone models might brick it. If ever I have to port TWRP, is there some sort of guide for me to follow so I can try making a build of TWRP that works with this?
Thanks!
To add a suitable SU-binary to Android's filesystem TWRP in NO case is needed: you do it via ADB.
Example:
Code:
adb devices
adb push <LOCATION_OF_SUITABLE_SU_BINARY_ON_PC> /data/local/tmp/
adb shell "chmod +x /data/local/tmp/su"
I recently bought this phone and is looking for a way to root it safely as i want to remove bloatware and use some apps that need root (like screenrecording without microphone and just internal audio, i heard that needs the magisk module?)
is there a way to root it preferably without a pc and i dont want to wipe my data unless really necessary, i have also unlocked the oem bootloader from dev options as this phone uses a custom version of android 10 (xos dolphin 7.0), processor is mediatek helios something as far as i know, just for reference

Hey! I tried following what you said, but unfortunately it did not work. I found a thread with instructions quite similar to what you posted: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/universal-guide-root-any-android-device-manually.2684210/
The original poster said that this method no longer works. Is this true?

the 2 lines of code shown above by me always worked for me, at any Android version - at least up to Android 10, and should work on Android 11, too
also do any of you have links to the stock rom for infinix hot 11s nfc? I bricked my phone trying to install the wrong twrp for this phone. Thanks.
So, any luck in rooting Hot 11s? This xos skin is driving me nuts. Always closing background processes, and sometimes even foreground process. We desperately need a twrp for this device.
Here is how to do it
Download your phone's latest firmware (the one you are running ) extract the boot.img from it and put it in your internal storage and install magisk from github
Press install in it and it would prompt you flashing a boot.img do that
Then copy the patched img to your pc
Then in platform-tools (search for it on google) click on the address bar then type cmd
From there type in (adb reboot bootloader) make sure your usb debugging is on
Then when it reboots to fastboot
Type (fastboot flash boot *your patched boot.img*)
That's exactly how i rooted my phone and i have an infinix hot 10s
And this method is universal
I want to install custom ROM on my infinix hot 11s, PLEASE someone work on it. HELP US!
We need developer support for infinix hot 11s please someone make TWRP and custom rom for it
Me to, please anyone develop custom rom and twrp for infinix hot 11s

Hey! If you successfully do that method, do you know how to fix the problem "<waiting for any devices>" in fastboot? Is it because of the driver for my device or other cases? Thank you in advance.

It's fine now, everything is work for the fastboot and I just need to find the right driver for my device. But still...do I need to unlock the bootloader first to be able flashing or do some commands? And since it's hard to find the firmware for my device, how to get the boot.img out of my phone? Knowing that Infinix Hot 11s NFC is a brand new phone and as far as I know it's regional based for Indonesia's market only. CMIIW.

https://romprovider.com/infinix-x6812b-firmware-support/ check if this is the one?
and I'm not sure but I think unlocking bootloader and rooting your device is totally different things so probably not
