Stock recovery and boot collection - HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion

In case, you want the stock boot/recovery to install Magisk like me, you can get it out of the firmware.zip inside the OTA zip, which you can download from HTC server using the link:
Taiwan model 1.10.709.23:
http://fotadl-az.htc.com/secure/OTA....05.709.12_release_517077z7dxrjhjj6rk2y9h.zip
Taiwan model 1.23.709.3:
http://fotadl-az.htc.com/secure/OTA....10.709.23_release_518569sr63mm3mtji85ret.zip
Hong Kong model 1.10.400.23
http://fotadl-az.htc.com/secure/OTA....05.400.13_release_517158ov5r8lbbi6tc9m38.zip
I have extracted the recovery.img and boot.img for Taiwan version. If someone doesn't want to extract it themselves, let me know through PM. I can send it to you.

Thanks nenebear. Is this is the OTA file to go from stock 1.03.1405.1 to latest 1.05.1405.16 ?
I found the RUU's for the version of my phone also. Can anybody here confirm that the stock recovery zip file found at the following link will allow me to go back to stock recovery if I decide to flash TWRP?

Please help me!
I have unlocked my bootloader, installed twrp. Unfortunately, twrp is worthless since it can not be used as it seems...
Now I wonder if I can use this guide to root my phone:
"1. Download http://fotadl-az.htc.com/secure/OTA_...bbi6tc9m38.zip
Edit / Important: Read next post down below before Step 2/
2. Extract firmware.zip.
3. Extract boot.img from firmware.zip from step 2 and transfer to the /sdcard.
4. Install Magisk Manager and select Beta channel
5. Click install and choose to use "patch the stock boot image" method. It will browse you to /sdcard. Choose the boot.img from step 3. After its done, it will give you path of patched boot image.
6. Transfer the patched boot image from step 5 to PC using 'adb pull'
7. Boot the phone into download mode and flash the patched boot image.
8. Reboot and enjoy!!"
Where/how can I get the correct boot.img för my device?
My version is "1.10.401.23 9.0_g CL991677 release-keys" and none of the download links match my version? Or can I use some of them anyway?
I would be very happy and thanksful if I got help so I can get root access!

I think yours is the Europe model. If so, download the following ZIP:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620770441
Extract firmware.zip from it, and you will then extract boot.img from the firmware.zip, and then, patch that in magisk manager. Hope that helps!

That link matches your version exactly. You should be good with boot.img from that ZIP. Make backup of your stuff and be very careful with commands you fire...

Hmm.. It is 25 pcs. compressed zip-files in this download.
In one of the zip there is "boot_signed.img"
It must be it. But when I try to unzip it doesn't work. It says the file is corrupt [emoji852]️.
I will try to download the file again, mayby the download failed.
Edit: The file is corrupt. I cant unzip it

I Need a root package

hey guys... all the root packages I have seen so far have a survey to download ... I cant do surveys because .. well its a long story .
in a short version .. I am looking for a direct root package download without being troubled in doing a survey .
I would be grateful if some one can help me out
Please don't duplicate posts, it's against the rules. I was already helping you in the other thread you posted in but I'll continue here. The root package you were looking at is most likely not compatible with your current firmware version. What are your bootloader details? I need to see the first five lines.

hboot-2.15.0000
radio-1.30a.32.45.18
opendsp-v33.1.0.45.1128
What's your ultimate goal? Do you want to root your current stock ROM or install a custom ROM? Either way you need to install TWRP recovery first. I'm assuming you already have adb/fastboot installed on your PC.
Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you have TWRP recovery on your phone.
If you want to root your current stock ROM you can just flash SuperSU through the install menu in TWRP recovery. You'll find a download link here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip
If you want to install a custom ROM, just find one you like, download it, read the install instructions on the ROM thread, perform a full wipe (cache/dalvik cache/factory reset/system) through the wipe menu in TWRP, then install the ROM through the install menu in TWRP.
Before doing either of these options you should make a backup of your current setup in the backup menu in TWRP. Select system, data, and boot, then swipe to backup.

thanks a lot
though now I wanna flash the venom rom (sense 5 , 4.2) and step 3 says : "Confirm the MD5 on the download page matches the MD5 of the file on your phone (ES File Explorer will show the MD5 of the file)" what does that mean ?
If you're downloading the file directly to your phone, use an app called AFV (Android File Verifier) to check the md5. After you've downloaded the ROM just copy the md5 listed on the download site, open AFV, paste the md5 into the box, click the select file button, navigate to the file then long press it and select calculate md5, hopefully it'll say success. If it says anything other than success the download is corrupt.

Unlocking Bootloader/Rooting

Hi
I'm thinking of buying this phone and I'm wondering about the ease with which I can Root this phone?
Any help out there?
Hello, I am interested in installing custom recovery (twrp) and rooting with SuperSu. I have my hands around one XA2 Ultra, but so far I can't find anything on the web. If anyone has the solutions, please inform! Thanks.
https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/
Sony has their own site for bootloader unlocking. They also have a tool for flashing as well via PC. I imagine TWRP could easily be built for the XA2 Ultra as well if need to be.
This may work for you guys root idea
) Download this APK, copy to your phone, and install.
B) From your system image, uncompress and find the boot.img and copy to your SD Card.
C) Open MagiskManager and Press Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File, and select your stock boot image file (boot.img)
D) Magisk Manager will now download a file and patch your boot image, and store it in [Internal Storage]/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img
E) Copy the patched boot image to your PC. If you can't find it via MTP, you can pull the file with ADB: adb pull /sdcard/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img
F) adb reboot bootloader
G) fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
H) Press the Power button to "Start"

I'll test it when I get a chance. If something goes wrong, is it an easy reset back to default with Sony phones? Another is will I keep Android Pay? Not that it matters that much, root over everything.

As long that your bootloader is unlocked you should be good.
Ardroid pay should be oka threw this.
Be careful don't delete anything you may need.
This should hold you until you get twrp.

Once some one got root install this and he will build you twrp.

The official Sony AOSP build instructions will ultimately output boot.img for one of the steps so it can be flashed via fastboot. I'm thinking it can be patched via magisk first, then fastboot flashed.
Question for anyone that has more experience, would the boot.img made via the AOSP build work on other XA2 ultra model numbers or stock XA2 ultra?

That is good question I had a xa ultra we could not use other boot.IMG.
For know just get your booting any way you can.
I plan to get this phone but not for a couple months.
Make sure that it yours.
Download your build from the sight and extract that boot.img.

Where can i obtain my boot.img file ? Link ? i cant find offical firmware anywhere

Need boot.img FRD-L09 B404

Hello everyone.
I unlocked a bootloader in my freshly bought Honor 8 last week and I the first thing I did was to flash a root package (obviously). I'm used to SuperSU, so tha's what I flashed. Then I found out about Magisk. I want to try it, but I need to flash stock boot.img in order to install it. My build number is FRD-L09C432B404 (EMUI 5.0, Android 7.0). Could anyone upload corresponding boot img? I'd be thankful.
Do it yourself! ^^

Hello!
You can do it yourself, just follow these steps:
1) Download your firmware (update.zip) from hicloud url: update.zip
2) Extract zip
3) Download "Huawei Update Extractor 0.9.9.5" (zip file): HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.5.zip
4) Extract zip
5) Open "HuaweiUpdateExtractor.exe" extracted from previous step
6) Click on the 2 dots button and navigate to the file to add the "UPDATE.APP" file ( extracted from step 2) ), it will show you all the files like boot.img , recovery.img , recovery2.img , system.img , etc.
7) Select "BOOT.img" and right-click > "Extract Selected". Choose this destination folder: Where fastboot/adb are installed.
8) Use fastboot command to flash "BOOT.img":
Code:
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
Hope it helps you!
I'd rather not download 1.3GB of firmware for the sake of one small boot.img which can't be bigger than 50MBs, not to mention additional software I'll use probably never again, so I'd be thankful if someone sent already extracted boot

BOOT.img file from FRD-L09C432B404 firmware: Google Drive or MEGA
( Because I have nothing more important to do tonight lol )
Thanks for your support. I had to extract it anyways for stock recovery, so here it is in case someone needed it.

TWRP and ROOT on OB2

Hi,
I wanted to update to OB2 and was kinda in a hurry, so long story short: I screwed up and am now on OB2 without root or TWRP.
Primarily I need root, so if anyone can point me to a guide, that would be much appreciated.... booting TWRP through fastboot doesn't seem to work.
If you have a good guide for also flashing TWRP, that would also be much appreciated, only stuff I found was guides with "patch the boot.img" ... hell, i don't know how to do that
thanks

No, with the OB2 file. You can extract it also with the same method and patch it.
the same file?! there is no open beta 2 file ... you can only download the OB1 from oneplus and have to OTA to OB2..
I know how annoying it is when some noob (thats how i feel now) asks for step by step "click this button" guides, but can you please lend me a hand on this
I see .... i miss the old days with the nexus series or the first oneplus phones ... none of all the crap, no million partitions and A and B slots and all that ... just flashing...

Know exactly what you mean. I did the same thing. Will break it down more granular.
1) Download the OB2 file
2) Unzip the OB2 zip file.
3) Download program found in (use this tool for it LINK <--- thanks @tidschi)
4) Unzip said program
5) Take payload.bin file and put it in the payload_input folder
6) Run the payload_dumper.exe found in the root payload folder (payload_dumper-win64)
7) Take the boot.img file from the payload_output folder and copy it to your phone
8) Open Magisk Manager on the phone and click INSTALL
9) Click INSTALL again
10) Click Select and Patch a File
11) Choose the boot.img file you copied from your computer (phone will create a magisk_patched.img file in your download folder)
12) Copy magisk_patched.img file from your phone to your computer
13) Fastboot your phone and install the magisk_patched.img file
14) Go back to Magisk Manager. It should now say it is rooted.
15) Go to Modules in Magisk and hit the + sign
16) Find your TWRP Zip file and install it.
You should now be rooted and have TWRP installed on your phone again.
Cheers!

I thank you very much, really..... but now I feel even more stupid .... I again fail at the very first step. Which OB2 file? In the thread you linked, i only find the patching tool, no OB2 file, and at the oneplus site you can only download the OB1 file.

That's the rom itself, the full OxygenOS zip Open Beta 2: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...7-repo-oxygen-os-builds-t3937152/post80254958
From there you need to extract the boot.img and patch it as explained before :good:
Well.... that did the trick ....
Thank you very much. :highfive:

Yes, but you can do it easily with newer methods
Sorry to ask what is perhaps an easy question, but what are those newer methodes?

1. Unlock bootloader via MiUnlock software for PC (you have to wait at least 168 hours)
2. Flash TWRP recovery img via fastboot
3. Download and put into internal memory magisk.zip installer (you need version 20.4 or newer)
4. Install this zip via TWRP
5. Boot into the system and download Magisk Manager apk (version 8.0.3 or newer) then install it.
6. Voilà. That's all [emoji106]
