Hi Guys,
Note : By doing this, you know that you're gonna do a modification to your phone, and im not in any way, responsible for what happen after. Escape Route for if something wrong happen is provided, but YOU DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK
since this phone is fairly new, at this moment a clear rooting method haven't established yet. This is what this thread for.
Based on information gathered from P20 Lite Forum (the rooting guide for that device even already up - here), it seems the old trick of rooting (from Mate 10 Pro) using Patched Boot Method is working fine. And Magisk is working
Basically this method need few pre-requisites :
1. Unlocked Bootloader (by getting the code here ) - and if you not sure how to do it, go here for the guide
2. Stock Boot (or RAMDISK to be precise for this phone) - I managed to extract it from 8.1.0.106 ROM version for CLT-L29 (download here)
3. Magisk Manager 5.5.4 (from Magisk Thread) to patch the .img above, or
4. Patched RAMDISK image (i patched it) from here
5. and of course computer with ADB & Fastboot installed (make sure you have latest SDK to prevent something not working)
Now, to Root it, all you need to do is,
1. Boot into bootloader
2. Type
Code:
fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img
(patched_boot.img is the file you download from prerequisites number 4, placed it in the same directory with your adb & fastboot - i assume you know that already)
3. Reboot
4. You now should have root access, download Magisk Manager to manage modules and superuser
(you might need to flash this module if you failed to pass safetynet)
In case something go wrong, flash back the stock RAMDISK from pre-requistes number 2 above using same method as what u did to flash the patched one.
That way worked. Thanks.
Edit:
Just as a hint. To get magisk work as it should..
After boot into the system and installed Magisk Manager, install Magisk from there again, so you dont get any /data/magisk problems.
SafteyNet passed then.
Fingers crossed twrp is possible soon
Works on CLT-L09
I have a German single Sim from Vodafone tested the root yesterday and works very well
Would this method work on CLT-L09 model? Thanks

The post before you just confirmed yourbquestion, LoL
Yes it does
This is awesome, thanks for sharing! I thought I could live without root but after only half a day, I've decided I can't!
Before I do this, I was wondering where you managed to get the stock rom (quote below)?

Hey guys, I need some help please! I unlocked bootloader through Huawei website which went fine and then when I flashed the patched boot.img through fastboot and tried to reboot my phone has told me there was a critical error while booting. It won't boot to system and just loops a few times and then boots to Huawei eRecovery. This is my first Huawei device and I'm clueless as to how to recover
Any ideas would be much appreciated! Thanks
**EDIT*** false alarm! I managed to boot to fastboot and restore the ramdisk from the first post

The ramdisk.img was taken from .106 ROM, so its actually newer than what installed on your phone. That might become issue,
But, do you managed to revive the phone using the stock ramdisk from first post ?

Yes thank you, the stock ramdisk from the first post allowed my phone to boot normally again. Do you think if I use magisk manager app to patch the stock ramdisk it will work for me? Or is that the same as what you did to make the patched boot.img anyway?

If you have the 103 rom, and able to extract the ramdisk yourself, you can try patch it yourself.
Have you tried to flash the patch ramdisk one more time ? In case it just a bad flash.
Because if you manage to boot using stock one. It means your system has no problem using .106 boot image and the patched one should work as well

Put the device off and hold power button and volume down. You should come directly into the rescue mode.

My boot.img provided in repository thread is for BLN-L21C432B365 build, as listed in OP and in my post there; what's your build number? An unmatching build could be the cause of this. For example, recovery for BLN-L21C432B365, differs from BLL-L21C130B365 - the B365 at the end is equal, but the build variant is different and so incompatible

This way you are sure that you have correct boot.img corresponding to your ROM (otherwise OTA update will fail) and not some "random file from the Internet".
Thank you very much!!!! Was looking for this in a pretty long time!!!
Nope. This boot.img doesn't work for me. After completing the instructions I'm just getting the Mi logo and then restart and it goes on forever. Maybe my system.img is bad??? Can anybody give me a link to a perfect Oreo fastboot ROM, becuase I found two: the one is my current ROM and the other one's system.img "cannot be extracted".

Currently I'm rooted, but I fully booted right after flashing it without any mods and ROM started fine.
It will show some sparse warning during flashing, but it will complete the process OK.
Really? Is that what you're using? That's the exact one with the system.img errors. Nah, maybe a bad download.

Yep, working fine (well, except the video recording bug, but that is most probably Xiaomi's fault). I downloaded this file as well (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/development/tool-aosp-8-0-ql1515-dec-8-2017-t3722184) and extracted and compared both system.img files and they are exactly the same except the very small difference - second one allows encryption as optional (modified) vs. forced (stock) in fstab. It might cause bootloop if you try to lock the bootloader with that system. Try to redownload files from Mega..

Hmm... redownloaded from Mega, says

I tried a different fastboot.exe and the error is more specific this time :
Code:
target reported max download size of 534773760 bytes
Invalid sparse file format at header magi
Edit: The weird thing is that all other images from this Fastboot ROM install and work just fine. I've even used the boot.img from it. It works without any problems. The system is problematic.

First fastboot.exe is probably old, second one seems to be fine. Just wait until it starts flashing system.img, it will take a minute or two and will look like frozen (fastboot has to split file into 6 smaller ones, probably has something to do with missing sparse format), be patient and don't interrupt the process.

If you want to return to stock ROM and never use Magisk again, then you might want to uninstall Magisk first. But if you are only unrooting to apply OTA for example, it is enough to flash stock ROM and then reinstall Magisk - all your modules and settings will be kept.

Yes, successfully rooted this way. I didn't play around with any of the betas so this was my first time to just dirty flash right over 10. I patched my own boot.img like usual and transferred it over to my adb folder before flashing. Since you're using MM Canary already, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe your patched boot.img is corrupt? Did you flash the full image or OTA? Next step for me (after creating a new patched boot.img) would be to clean flash the full image. Best of luck.
do you have a link to the canary apk?
I tried going to the canary page, but the download link is dead. TIA

Further down the page youll see it
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk
---------- Post added at 20:29 ---------- Previous post was at 20:27 ----------
Also to add - Magisk Canary outputted a 4MB Boot Image which was wrong - Correctly patched it should be 32.55 MB roughly.
Make sure you pay attention that the boot.img has been patched properly.
I had trouble rooting but eventually got it to work. I deleted all previous boot images and patched images from phone and pc. Reinstalled platform tools. Grabbed fresh boot img from the factory image, patched it then flashed it. And we're in biz
Hello!
I tried the search function but my search-fu isn't strong today. I got a Vortex V22 phone from Standup Wireless. I must have been half asleep, because when i flashed what I assumed was the correct boot.img, I got stuck in a boot loop.
On further investigation, I had flashed the boot for another device called Vortex. I am having incredible difficulty in finding the right boot image. The info I have from the side of the box is:
Vortex V22 4G LTE
Color: Graphite Blue
ROM 32GB
RAM 3GB
OS Android 11
FCC ID 2ADLJ-V22
I deeply appreciate any and all help. Thanks so much!
i was trying to find a phone case for the phone what model number is yours ?
If you're still searching I can try to make a rom dump, I have this phone as well brand new untouched or registered.
I'd just need a tutorial on the proper way to dump and extract the files so I can upload the boot.img
_
I've never used it cause I put the StandUp Wireless sim in my T-Mo InSeeGo 5G HotSpot and prefer to use my Galaxy S8 with Keyboard Cover Case and Unihertz Titan Pocket
Just dumping the firmware from mine, using SP Flash Tool. Used this guide: https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-12719.html
Will remove userdata & cache, but there is a LOT of gbs of system data. This phone is appearently Treble-enabled with VNDK ver 30, so yes, you can flash a GSI on there. Will provide a custom recovery necessary.
Edit: if you were wondering, this phone has a MT6761 with a eMMC flash.

Just dumping the firmware from mine, using SP Flash Tool. Used this guide: https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-12719.html
Will remove userdata & cache, but there is a LOT of gbs of system data. This phone is appearently Treble-enabled with VNDK ver 30, so yes, you can flash a GSI on there. Will provide a custom recovery necessary.

Hi PicelBoi,
I have the V22. I've unlocked the BL and trying to install a custom rom via ADB or Fastboot but have had no luck. I try to erase or flash and I get errors saying partitions don't exist. Can you please help out with a recovery file?
I tried the hovatek guide but didn't have any luck, but I tried it before the BL was unlocked. Would that be an issue with the sp flash tool? I was told it shouldn't matter.
In fastboot not fastboot d do
Fastboot flash unlocking

Sorry for waiting so long! Yeah, I got the firmware! Also follow previous guys post! Do you want my boot.img? Make sure you disable Android Verified Boot too!

No worries. Yes! Do you have the entire rom? The boot.img would definitiely be great as well.

Also this is a GSI image that works with this device - https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/v313 - newer versions might not work unfortunately.

You need to reboot to userland fastboot, which you could do by rebooting to normal fastboot then telling fastboot to reboot to fastboot by typing in fastboot reboot fastboot. You will see a new screen, and now you could flash a GSI to the phone.

I was able to get a bunch of GSI's that work with it, including the phone you posted, but I was looking to get root and found a couple pre-rooted GSI's that work as well. Newer ones do work as well I has 13 rooted and working. However, I liked the Pixel ROMs the best and would prefer to install those instead and then root. So I need the firmware for that so I can patch a modified boot.img.

Thank you. I understand and have a lot of experience with this. However, I still never understood why there is two Fastboot's.
I can't get it to boot in one I flash the super that I backed up that don't get it to boot maybe I could use a good super. What about vbmeta?

Are you looking for a good GSI ROM?
As of right now I'm just trying to get it booted up with any room. I got it rooted and then something I ****ed up when I tried to flash a GSI. And I started messing with the boot a boot b vbMeta from system and blank. And I don't have the firmware an the super that I backed up won't boot when I flash it.
But yes I am indeed looking for a good running a12 rom

I completely messed up one messing with partitions and it took many tries trying to get to was able to still get to the bootloader fastboot and then recovery to fastbootD. You should be able to get it booted into fastbootd and flash as it seems you can.
Try the one below. you should be able to find it with a google search. If you can't let me know and I will try to look and see where I downloaded it from as I cannot remember where I found it.
I've tried many GSI ROM's Some boot fully, some only boot to the boot screen and some won't boot at all.
I'm using 13 rooted LineageOS GSI version 20-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvS
It is vanilla. I can't remember if there is a GAPPS version or not. But you can load it all after with magisk. But its rooted.
I still would like if picelboi could share the stock rom, so we can have a boot.img. I would like to try other ROM's that are not PRE-Rooted.

I can't remember which A12 I had working but I was looking for root and the one A12 that was prerooted I had issues with so I went to A13.
This is an A13. LineageOS GSI version 20-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvS
There may be a newer version of it now.
Also, these phones seem have that internet connect issue with some GSI ROMS and this is one of them I think, they connect to wifi but they won't actually connect to internet, but there is a easy fix for it.
Had an unlocked bootloader, flashed A09 stock (india) because i really hate that color os fraudlent apps, changing settings by force... Failed to do anything with adb so i flashed stock india.. However magisk edited the boot.img result was a boot loop..
Fastbootd is inacessible.
Now the thing is, how comw there is no official realme tool to flash stock..
I'm a production engineer and i have never seen such a scam in user rights...!! I dont want root or anything just the normal stock version..
I dont really care about paying for the stock china rmx3560_domeatic_A27 full rom...
But most of those charging money for it are dodgy aa hell and non trustworthy..
What do chinese subjects in realmebbs do when an ota fails????
Hilarious product non existent rights..
When now we are speaking about rights to physically repair phones.
Now my phone cant access fastbootd only edl or fastboot but even in fastboot it automatically reboots after 1 min
okay

I did myself thank god.. Thanks though.
I used rmx3560china A44
I used fastboot patiently and replaced each image visible in fastboot enhanced in both A and B (there were not that much)
Then rebooted fastbootd worked right after...
Did a flash payload.bin fully
Had a stock brand new boot
I thought for some reason i need a Full stock rom (12-16 gigabytes like the ones for india)
Anyway, i even rooted it sucessfully right after.
But still even rooted system isn't rw cant add viper4a for example.

I have a piece of advice for you . Root realme gt neo 3 Be careful. Just a few simple steps (example disable app system and reboot = bootloop , flashing dtbo error = hardbrick and you must pay 60$ for outside service repair)
I've had a hardbrick once and this is the second time I've had to pay to fix it. Very terrible
