This is the method I used ages ago like last year for my Singapore HTC Magic.
I can't say if this is the best way to do it but it certainly did the trick for me. Good luck and just make sure you read every step well.

Hello Dinosaur ,
I could flash the recovery mentioned in the website. But I see the 10 th point is...
10. To get Root access you MUST go to the next video mentioned above and load a custom ROM.
So that's why I got confused...
Probably you could tell me the ROM you flashed. I bought my mobile from singtel...
And thanks for your reply...

the 10th step is a little misleading. you do have root access by now and you just need to go to the other video to see how to install a rom on your phone.
i checked all the links, they work fine for me.

Yeah once u root your phone successfully, boot up your phone by holding "Home+Power" button and it will go into recovery mode. Then do a nandroid backup and keep this file safely. From there, you are ready to flash to a new rom. Remember to wipe first before flashing. Personally i recommend SuperD. And check that the rom is for old radio and it's 32A

No. You can not flash anything without rooting your phone. No, the ROMs are not rooted, the phone are.

Yeah u have to root your phone first. Just follow the steps on theunlockr.com and you'll be fine. I was like you initially...clueless about rooting and flashing new rom. But once you've tried it, it's actually quite simple. And since HTC Sg wont be updating 2.1 for HTC Magic, all the more we must root our phone.

In the above website , there are two links to download ROM and Recovery..
Download Haykuro's Magic "rootme" rom (Mirror) and the Magic modified recovery
The files are incomplete.i.e You could download but cannot unzip it.

[Completed] Unknown network error on downloading file

i have been looking for the repair/backup of my root on my Cherry Mobile Blaze 2.0 cause i accidentally full unrooted it using SuperSU application, and then i found this site. and i feel so lucky that it has the most normal/simple tutorial on how to root my device again . and when i download the file about 400++mb, it only says Unknown Network Error, and i tried it for about 4 times. the picture is attached on this thread.
Note : my network is all well, honestly i just downloaded other file from google drive too, and everything is perfect.. so i thnk its not the net.
This is what i want to download .. (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2746658) <-- remove parenthesis
PLEASE HELP ME... I NEED TO DOWNLOAD IT AND ROOT MY PHONE AGAIN..
FOLLOW-UP QUESTION
is it possible to reroot my phone from this procedure.

Well even if you've lost root on your current ROM, that doesn't matter as long as you have a custom recovery like CWM. If you know how then just flash that ROM, but being as you have no device specific forum you should post your question in the thread you linked me.
If you didn't understand any of that, then follow this guide HERE. Good luck.

the one you link to me is for CM Flame 2.0, my unit is Blaze 2.0, is that the same ?
im sorry for being noob but i dont know have any familiarity on the term ur giving me . you mean if i have my CWM on my Recovery mode .. i can just click that and then *bang* im rooted again with my system being reset ?
Thanks for your time and effort on helping me ! i'll expect a reply. TY

The zip is just a generic superSU update zip. It sounds like you have a recovery in which to flash the superSU zip anyway, so yes you may just be able to follow that guide. It won't break anything if it doesn't work though. If you need any further help then you should post in the Android Q&A section. Good luck

sir, i just found out that i have what u called CWM in recovery mode. does it help.

I can't give you technical help (read the 2 stickies), although I'll answer you once and say yes it helps: I highly recommend you read up on stuff abour custom recoveries, kernels, etc. To gain better understanding. I've given you a guide to follow HERE and directed you to the correct place to post further questions HERE. If you are still in doubt despite reading carefully through the first link then you should post in the second link where there are many more helpful members who may even have experience with your exact device.

Custom ROM on IN2017

Hello everyone. I'm wanting to find out if there is a way to put a custom rom on the OnePlus 8 5G in2017? I've spent two days getting caught in fastboot loops and crash dumps. I'm already bootloader unlocked and sim unlocked. I can't seem to figure out the one difference that stops this OnePlus from advancing like the others. Thanks in advance

What custom rom do you want to install?
If you have unlocked your bootloader just pick one in this forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/oneplus-8t-roms-kernels-recoveries-other-deve.11587/ and follow the installation instructions in the rom thread
You also have a lot of what I assume is auto correct mistakes in your post.

Yes the voice keyboard is not so accurate today I'll go back and fix that. I wanted to do any of them really and the instructions I tried all led me to fastboot loops. Honestly my real goal was just to make it onto the international firmware because this thing is terrible with mint mobile.

CAT S42

Greetings!
Is there any way to root this device?
It's with android 11 LTE_C01091.11_NE_S42_1.010.00
Magisk need a boot.img but I can't find it...
Tx in advance

Hey Folks!
I got into trouble and need serious help with my cat s42, android 11.
I had looking for ways to root that device and find few articles about it, all of them saying needed to unlock bootloader. I did it from my linux box and adb/fastboot. What I don't knew it that it's not reversible, I cannot lock it again. The warning said that if proceed, I will need to reinstall the OS.
I really need root privileges once it's full of feature creep but now I'm trapped with magisk (v 23010) and latest kingoroot don't working with the device. It's bootloader is unlocked and device have some instabilities, catterpillar do not provide stock rom or any assistance in the case (shame on it).
So, what can I do? Can anybody give me directions of some procedure that work here? Lost my phone??
Thanks in advance!!!

Oke so you have unlocked the bootlaoder then maybe u could skip the rooting for now and flash a gsi(generic rom) using adb/fastboot ?

Sorry for the late reply happy new year!
When you are going to flash a gsi for the firstime on a device always flash the gsi by phh treble because all other gsi are based on his.
flash that then see if everything works once you have done that look for a other gsi that u might like there arent many that get updated reguarly but i believe linage os does get updated regurally best try that one.
so flash a gsi and then right after magisk in twrp in your case that is not going to work because you dont have a custom recovery so you are going to be needing adb fastboot.
Didnt you ask this on a another forum called highonandroid ?

Thank you mstrnemo and Happy 22!
No, I didn't ask other forums, just searching to something to flash that device...
But you give me some clues to do that, I'll read about treble. I need phone, camera, and gps working and have to see it before flashing, that's the point.

Sorry if im not more helpfull but my knowledge of flashing a gsi is limited i only succesfully did it once.
in your case with no development for your device gsi is really your only option.
Edit: good luck !!! if you do end up doing it let me know i am curious about the results.

Refer to my previous comments, need more information to the issues and how you got to softbrick. Which guide, is the guide suited to your particular phone eg a/b device vs a only, are you trying to flash a super partition to a super partition or a system image to a super partition via fastboot?
If your not willing to go in to depth into what's happening to how you brick your device, then please stop asking for help, as we cannot help you when we don't know the details of the issue.
Clearly it's only soft-bricked and not hard-bricked.
And if its not your first time installing GSI then the process doesn't change. There a plenty of guides out there.
Simple solution is dsu sideloader to which you will not have to worry about soft bricking your device

Again, how what is the error. Just telling me it fails does not provide us the information to help you.
If you are not willing to give the information, please stop asking for help, I will not ask for it again.
You are not providing anything. You are asking for help, and it could be that the guide does actually work, and it is a user input error.
So I will ask for the last time to which If you do not respond with full details of what you are doing step by step, with screenshots and the exact error and the exact commands you have used then I will not be responding as I cannot help you.
So provide the details of exactly what you have done, exactly the commands you have entered (all in one screenshot of terminal is acceptably fine) the exact error, and anything else you think maybe important.
I will not just go and get a full detailed step by step as all gsi are different, most GSI are easier to install with working custom recovery, and are you following the basic GSI rules eg is the system image you are trying to flash the same size or smaller then what is on your phone?
So please provide everything I am asking for, and if not then I will not be replying, someone else may, but we do not have the time to find a needle in a haystack as to what your problem is.
I do not have the time to try the guide and F**K around with my phone OS at this present time and most people won't as who is to say that the guide will work for me, which then still leaves the solution coming down to you providing information so that we can actually help you and find out why it's not working.

I have problem i installed lineage os gsi 20 with dsu and IT works perfectly but when installed same image installed with fastboot IT will stuck on boot can Anyone help me?
