Write Protection Off

I have recently gotten an HTC One E8.
I have unlocked the bootloader but I need to get write protection off, however, all the solutions I have found so far are older and not usable. Any help would be greatly apprecieated.
Android Version 5.0.2
HTC Sense Version 6.0
Software version 2.32.651.11
Thanks
Darryl

Have you tried Sunshine (http://theroot.ninja)?

Isn't removing write protection for the file system different?
Having S-off would allow me to install a custom ROM, but there is not much out there for the E8.
Correct me if I'm wrong on this.

IIRC S-OFF will turn off the write protection. Another option is to flash a custom kernel. I used to have one on my Asia E8 and so that I could make changes to /system even though my phone was S-ON.

You can find SchKernel without system write protection in next thread here. I have uploaded 3.5 version, look at recent reply

I downloaded and tried to install from TWRP, however, when the installer starts and gets to the screen to click next, I touch next, the button becomes outlined, but nothing happens.

******UPDATE**********
I was able to figure out how to install by using volume up/down and power button. Installed, now have write protection off. Let the cleanup begin.
Thanks all who replied.

Please, can you tell me how you managed to do it.

[Root] Boot / Root / Recovery

Thanks to some questions and awnsers I was able to create the
rooted boot.img for our HTC Bolt devices.
This was tested on the HTC Bolt Software 1.17.651.11 Android N 7
How To: (downloads at bottom of page)
Connect Device to computer
Insure that usb debugging is on as well as OEM unlock is checked.
The device must be Boot-loader unlocked to do this!
place both the patched_boot.img and the magisk_cache.img in the same directory your fastboot files are setup at ( c:/android/sdk/fastboot or wherever you have it)
Boot the phone into Download mode. ( Power + VOL down)
Open up terminal on the computer and run both these commands:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
fastboot flash cache magisk_cache.img
followed by fastboot reboot
you'll need to head over to :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/development/root-magisk-autoroot-magisk-phhs-t3507505
Grab the manager.apk and the super user apk to complete the setup.
Give these guys a thanks also for getting this going, gonna build a rom with debloat next and see if the twrp will flash it with this boot.img behind it.
shall see
Thanks to:
@OMJ Everything!

Nice!

suprised that it went so smoothly, su being systemless is a little buggy here and there with Android N, but otherwise i was able to navigate the internals, remove the bloat, make some build prop edits and theyve stuck. so far so good.

Went ahead and tried to use flashify and flash the twrp image from other post. Flashed and was able to make a backup to sd only. I didn't flash or try to restore it yet but I did have to relock and restore 3x with the stock ruu after removing too much system and trying to flash xposed

thanks for this! was able to get root on mine as well.
any idea how to get S-OFF? looks like Sunshine isn't compatible with Magisk, probably should have done that first

Not sure.. Probably gonna be some time with Android N.
I was able to change carrier types in Ui.
Got vzw 1x 3g 4G icons
Hot-spot mod
And a few other things working.
No radios to flash.. No kernels and I don't dev kernels.
So I don't need s-off really.. It's more so just having to re-lock
To go back to stock.

I just ordered a Bolt, can't wait to play

Just curious about how you went about unlocking the bootloader? Tried using the HTC dev service but they don't seem to support the Bolt yet. Also, haven't had too much experience with the bootloader since I've mostly been on Samsung Verizon devices. lol...

Restored boot and tried Sunshine but it failed. Hopefully S-OFF will come soon.

Use the other supported devices section at bottom.
Just follow the steps on htc dev.
Save the unlock.bin file HTC will email you. You need it Every time you need to lock/unlock. Without s-off (removing the 2nd lock that protects the radios)
* the phone has to be re-locked to be restored with the stock htc software "ruu's"
Htc ruu is a 1 click style restore program...similar to odin that Will run on the PC and restore phone to stock.
It also comes in a update.zip format that can be flashed with the stock Signed recovery only via sd card slot.
Twrp is currently working on bolt / but has limitations because Its not 100%

Random stuff that can be unlocked hidden in the phone.

We are working on 7.0 support, we will have to build a device profile and test after 7.0 works. Probably just need to dump some data off a bolt, but may need to buy/borrow one.

I actually just switched to this method after s-off, due to safetynet failing after detecting a unlocked bootloader...magisk can hide the detection

I've done some research on safety net. What instances are people needing to pass the safety net check? Google api isn't stopping any of my processes or apps. Even banking etc. Is this directed towards things like android pay?

[Recovery] TWRP 3.1.1 for Xperia X Compact

Greetings!
I'd like to present a TWRP recovery for the Xperia X Compact. This release should work on Xperia X single and dual-SIM variant of the device. I am an owner of Xperia X, but some users reported that my recovery works just fine on its smaller brother.
DISCLAIMER:
I'm not responsible for any damage done to your device. You have been warned.
REQUIREMENTS
Unlocked bootloader
Working ADB and Fastboot (You can get the latest version through Android Studio or by visiting this site)
FEATURES
MTP support
ADB Sideload
Backups and restores almost every partition
Full SELinux support
Working encryption. You can access /data within recovery
USB-OTG
DOWNLOADS
INSTALLATION
Unlock the bootloader
Download the file
Put the following code in CMD/Terminal:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-kugo-*.img
//Replace * with the version you want to flash
Unplug the cable
Press Volume Down + Power to activate the recovery. When installed properly, the device should vibrate funnily, purple LED should appear and after a couple of seconds, you should see the TWRP screen.
Enjoy!
BUILD
You need to sync the OmniROM and vendor blobs from DonkeyCoyote. You can find my sources on GitHub.

If you find my work useful, consider buying me a cup of coffee

it works perfectly! well can't say I tried all functions yet, but it certainly seems so.
thank you so much. finally a proper lastest version of twrp for XC that supports encryption on nougat.
btw. you have to flash it over fotakernel as described in OP. (hotbooting did not work. blank screen.)
I did try other regular X twrp versions with the same result in the past in hopes of finding something better, so the issue was likely the same since I hotbooted them too for a fast test. I guess that's what you get for being lazy. doh.
thanks again for posting it here.

What do you mean by hot booting? I did this to boot to twrp without installing and have no problem
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Thanks for the twrp, with this I can make full backup before trying to update to 7.1 or 8.0 later :good:

MTP is not working in this version. Everything else is top notch, will test backup/restore a bit later and report back.

Exactly. I know hotbooting is not the best description, but you understood anyway.
Strange, I am not a flashophile so I usually just booted twrp this way after a upgrade with flashtool. When the phone was connected to the pc anyway.
But it only works for me with the androplus version, oshmoun's version won't boot that way either. It's not the first time I have talked odd twrp behaviour though, as another guy could not get the androplus one to work at all. I have no reason to doubt him, as this is pretty casual stuff.
I see you are still on MM, I have been on N since it came out and if I remember correctly I backed up ta just before N came out (exploit and N came out very close to each other), took the ota, and unlocked BL. So I performed all the 'fastboots' (better word? heh) on that and 7.1.1. Perhaps the bootloader changed someway? I have no idea.
Edit: if I learned to read properly the first time, you are NOT on MM (doh) but 7.0. Sorry and even more strange. Does MTP work for you? (see below)

MTP works absolutely fine here..

This version uses Sony init, so you can see the Sony screen and led indicator while entering the recovery mode. I'm not planning to change it before creating an official TWRP.

Is this in response to something functional, or just general cosmetics info? Doesn't the sony screen origin from the bootloader? How should a official twrp look while booting it? I get the sony boot and led then the TWRP boot image, isn't that normal when booting fotakernel replaced by TWRP? ie. the bootloader handles it when turning the phone on while holding vol down.
An official version would sure be nice. I more than appreciate what you already done. So just take your time.

Strange, I don't have problem booting twrp without installing for either of twrp.
I'm on 7.0. I tried to update to 7.1, but I don't get signal if I do the ta_poc + tobias drm fix method, and the drm is still marked as broken.
I really hate mtp and avoid it. I don't think I even have mtp working properly on my pc. I can't help you test that one. Sorry.

Why are you running it through both ta_poc and Tobias rootkernel with drm fix?
Either you use ta_poc to mount your ta backup from before the bootloader was unlocked thereby bringing the whole trim area back including drm.
Or you use Tobias rootkernel to fix or 'emulate" drm.
Both tools can disable dm verity, sony ric, etc. there is no reason (other than likely creating trouble) to run the kernel image though both tools?!
If you for example run a boot.img with drm fix through ta_poc it will remove the drm fix first. So I imagine things could go wrong of you apply drm fix again (if that is what you're doing) after using ta_poc.
I really hate mtp and avoid it. I don't think I even have mtp working properly on my pc. I can't help you test that one. Sorry.

Lol I hate it general too, it can come in handy when only twrp is booted though. I am not sure I have any drivers installed either. Regardless I can access a drive resembling my phone labeled 'mtp device' in 'my computer' when I boot twrp.
Edit: sorry for sidetracking the thread a bit.

There was an info in one of threads, that you should get the stock kernel first through TA_POC and then through kernel repack tool. If you did not, it would work, but occassionally reboots. I am now on 7.1.1 build 206 with Genesis Kernel 1.05 (no_DRM patch version) and it works ok.
As for TWRP, thanks for this! It works ok. Can not fastboot it, must be flashed in recovery parition, but no deal for me. Only thing that I wonder, there are options to backup system, data etc, but not Internal SD (/data/data). Why?

Hi I have a question, I have N 7.1.1, and i want to root it, so i need the twrp, if I flash this twrp, its okay? Ty!

If you want to repost this internal OTA to other websites (other than XDA itself), please ask me for permission, thanks.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
WARNING!
This is early internal test build, so LATER OTA UPDATES CAN'T BE GUARANTEED!
If you don't have unlocked bootloader, you'll unable to roll back to stable build!
Please be careful when testing!

Now I think it's time to bring you back to canary labs faster than beta labs.
Internal build version: B2N-4040-0-00WW-B01
It will be updated from: B2N-354K-0-00WW-B01, which is not pushed to public
As I've warned before - having an unlocked bootloader is strongly recommended.
So recent builds removed handy 874 dialing codes, we have to install them under recovery or Nokia Extensions.

Let me tell you how to verify:
1. Dial *#*#227#*#* to check current Version. If older than B2N-354J-0-00WW-B01 (check if the letter is greater than J), update to 354J before proceed.
FYI, 354J is August 2019 Security Update.
Alternately, you can use command "fastboot oem getversions" under fastboot mode / Download mode to check current firmware version.
If newer than 354J (probably 354N when this post released), you'll need to downgrade your phone back to at most 354H - which can't be done easily without unlocked bootloader.
2. Install B2N-354K-0-00WW-B01-354J-0-00WW-B01-update.zip with Nokia Extensions OTA Update module or adb sideload under recovery.
3. Reboot your phone.
4. Install B2N-4040-0-00WW-B01-354K-0-00WW-B01-update.zip with Nokia Extensions OTA Update module or adb sideload under recovery.
5. Reboot your phone.
That's it.
If minor fixes released, I will upload them as well, then use the same method to install it.
To root the phone, you may want to use Magisk 20 released today (October 12th, 2019) or newer.

There's ONLY one bug of camera. And no other major bugs. And no daily life functionality is affected unless you do no other work with your phone except taking photos.( No offense ) ?
There might be a possibility that even after this camera bug is resolved, hmd might carry out extended testing and only release 10 at the time they've already mentioned.
Just a possibility.

Wakelocks are also a bit of an issue with regards to battery life...and I also work from my phone daily...not just used for camera, which is why I'm still on this build

Moto One 5G Ace Rooted with TWRP using stock Firmware

First of all, I am not a dev and this write up contains steps used by various devs to achieve fulll root. For some, these steps have worked out well. But, not for me. I had issues with some of the steps not fully working as they should, so I did some research until I could piece together something that worked for me. Here's what I did and managed to get fully rooted using the boot.img from the stock firmware after doing all the steps from this link Articul8Madness's Rooting Guide and couldn't get full root access even after using the steps from this link Articul8Madness's Guide for R/W Access. As I have said, these steps worked for most people. I wasn't one of them.
I followed the steps up to the step where the boot.img is modded by Magisk. This is where I omitted using the modded boot.img and used the original boot.img from the stock firmware and I then ran the flashfile script as mentioned in the steps. After everything was applied I then, rebooted the phone, started setup, disabled System Updates, and I then proceeded to install TWRP using the steps from this link https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KZ0xhstQ9V_7TYt3xs7P5XdroYX61CEA after opening Minimal ADB and Fastboot applying these scripts
adb reboot fastboot
then apply this
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.5.2_10-kiev.img
I then rebooted into recovery and installed TWRP to all available partitions. I then installed Magisk, enabled Systemless Hosts in settings, and rebooted. Afterwards, I used the steps here Munjeni's RW in Super Partition Tool to get RW in super partitions after downloading and using superrepack. I had omitted the ./superrepack /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/super system_a in order to have it applied to all available partitions. Everything worked out great. I then rebooted, updated Magisk, installed Root Checker and Root Explorer with Superuser root access. I then installed Adaway from https://github.com/AdAway/AdAway and clicking on the Get It On AdAway image. Anything that requires root access here on out, can now be installed. As for the SafetyNet issue, I have not had any problem with it at all even though the check had failed. All is now working well and I sincerely hope that this guide will help others as it have helped me. I may have done this write up but, all credits goes to the true devs.
Time for devs to start making custom Roms now that TWRP can be installed.

Your first link doesn't work for me. The Adaway link works. FYI.

Hi there. As i understand Windows PC is required for this unlocking? Any idea on Linux emulated on Chrome OS?

Sorry, but you will have to ask one of the Devs in the links that I've provided in the OP. Perhaps they are more suited to help with that.

Linux will work fine. All the commands required are done thru a terminal session. Use a text editor to get the long unlock code from the phone.
Good luck.

Ok about terminal. I used cmd , but bootloader cannot be unlocked official way nor at&t unlockable coz i don't live in usa.I will try 3rd party helpers.

You did a fantastic job. This worked perfectly. Some notes:
1) You must install the Motorola device driver in Windows. Doesn't work with leftover drivers that seem to communicate just fine with the phone.
2) You have to unlock the bootloader via Motorola's website if it is locked. Key step not communicated: when you enter in the code to unlock at the computer with a fastboot command the phone will ask you to confirm that you want it unlocked. If you don't look at your phone and answer the question it will time out.
3) When you boot into TWRP it will ask for a password if you have a screen lock set. The password is your screen lock. No big deal.
4) Once you are in TWRP install the Magisk Zip file and let it do its magic.
5) Enjoy a fully unlocked stock firmware. It's awesome.
Thanks again.

You're very welcome. And thanks for the added info, I forgot to add that in the steps. Thanks again.

Sorry for the late reply. I really haven't decided yet if I'll update to Android 11. I would imagine it'll be rooted in the same manner. If I could get ahold of the US version, I may give it a shot.

I've update to android 11 and am continuing to use your version of twrp but it's off a little bit in terms of the partitions it loads. Seems to work otherwise.

I don't have an answer for that at this time since I'm still on 10. That'd be too much like a blind man in a desert looking for shade and telling another which way to go.

Greetings, I have a few questions. re the Moto G 5G (One 5G Ace)
I've not found a TWRP for this phone yet which were you using?
In other phones it was important to backup the IMEI (EFS ) and 'persistent' partitions. Do we not do that with this phone as well?
Thx in advance

Sorry for the late reply. I used this version of TWRP twrp-3.5.2_10-kiev.img. As far as the IMEI (EFS) question, it wasn't required when using this root process. However, you can back those up if you like.
