I'm using ZTO and there is NO one android 11 yet.

Hello,
Finally, I can unlock the bootloader, flash twrp and root my Samsung Galaxy A01 (a01q) (SM-A015M).
All I need is just update to Android 11 and then I can unlock the bootloader and flash the magisk patched boot.img together the patched vbmeta.img.
I can flash TWRP using the image file "TWRP_3.5.2_A015F.img" sent by @tariqa
How To Root Samsung A01 (a015f/DS)
Hello, I want to ask how to root samsung galaxy a01 (a015f) , i want to instal f.lux for better blue light filter, Thanks!
forum.xda-developers.com
Thank you very much

1. Unlock your bootloader enter in download mode Vol+ + Vol- + USB conected to pc (Keep in mind that by doing this you will lose your files, it is advisable to make a backup of your photos, music, etc.)
2. Once you start your cell phone install magisk manager, Choosing the boot.img file of your rom into the app (Tip: Only!!! If your model is SM-A015M Android 11 I leave you my own modified boot.img to flash:
File on MEGA
mega.nz
Otherwise, you can download the firmware (3.79 gb) and extract the boot.img from the firmware of your model SM-A015 M / F ... Android 10, Android 11... etc. And No need for pc
https://samfrew.com/model/SM-A015M/
3. The image will begin to flash
4. When it restarts you will have Root on the cell phone!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extra: If you need the custom recovery I give you the link with my TWRP which is installed through the Odin program on a PC (this step does not delete your files)
File on MEGA
mega.nz
Keep in mind that to install TWRP you must deactivate the DM-VERITY & FORCEENCRYPT DISABLER I leave it in a link:
Zackptg5 - Android
zackptg5.com
This is a module that can be installed via magisk, which is necessary to decrypt the system ... so once TWRP is installed, it is advisable to uninstall it via Magisk to avoid R / W errors

Easy way to get Root & TWRP 2 in 1
A015F only!
Requirements: unlocked bootloader, android 11.
In Odin unmark autoreboot option.
Flash the "gorecovery.tar" file in AP field.
Boot to recovery and choose "Reboot system".
Allow Magisk to autoupdate.
If first boot after flashing will be into system - flash the file again.
The method keeps all your files and settings. Possible to use on already adjusted system.

Bad TWRP, boot Stuck, ̶ ̶n̶o̶ ̶a̶d̶b̶, Can't flash new rom! Help!!

Bootloader is unlocked.
TWRP 2.8.7.0 for 4.4 ( mobopx v2.2 ) is installed but somehow it is faulty.
I have two Nandroid Backups.
Phone was C00B137 4.4.2.
Phone doesn't boot so can't install any of those (UPDATE.APP) method updates. Stuck on huawei Ascend powered by android.
i CAN boot into twrp and fastboot (fastboot&rescue) .
TWRP backup works so i got two backup first one right after flashing the custom recovery, and another after everything wipe and an unsuccessful android 6 flash (B571) (phone booted into a clean 4.4.2 (what it was on) but empty motion control setting. and "update from usb storage" button removed from updater's app (the only way it installed that unsuccessful android 6 update ).
So, What was the dumb move?
That shouldn't happen.. when i selected everything to wipe, after that. Yeah. That's enough go read the rest.
.
.
.
What is it? What are you waiting for?
Why can't install any rom:
1- TWRP Restore does not work (does not find the backup).
TWRP ADB Sideload Probably doesn't work (i connect to pc then click the adb sideload, infinite loading until i cancel on phone. no device detected on windows).
2- Worst part : SD Card Does NOT get detected in TWRP.
The only way to transfer files to phone is through USB Storage (Otg).
3- As mentioned before, all complete updates are .app files. With This TWRP, only zip files can be installed (Which are just as suffix to the os, all are 100 mb, 300, 700mb, what is this? humans update is 1.2GB up to 2.2GB and more.) the TWRP Install works as i tried to install one of those zip update files, obviously unsucessfull (Zip signature Failed or something like this).
References:
The B571 rom i installed (that was finished but after reboot it was still 4.4.2 with bugs) is C432B571 Full OTA( Europe ) from this page.
The Twrp i used is Recovery mate7 mobopx v2.2 update and translate by chudy_85 on same page. number 7:

the adb i use is shift right clicking on platform-tools folder -> open command prompt here. learnt from here. also unlocked boot loader according to that (although with help of honortuner ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/info-unlock-bootloader-recovery-root-noob-friendly.3453204/ ) ).
UPDATE:
1--This is the log of when i unlocked bootloader:
2-- ADB WORKED! At least in recovery (not that sideload button in advanced) :
What should i do now? how to flash UPDATE.APP through adb??
Should i first flash stock recovery then through huawei update (key combination) update using sd card The update.APP????????????????
but i will lose custom recovery so if it fail i will truly brick the phone this time. HELP!

no help for me?

How To Guide [TB-J716F] Flashing Pseudo_Global firmware (many languages inside)

If you not like ZUI firmware - you can flash Pseudo_Global to your tablet. I've tested this way and sharing it here.
Pseudo_global fw was built on ZUI, it has A11 inside and you never can to get some system updates - no one is doing them.
Your data will gone away.
YOU ARE WARNED !
And so:
I've tryed this on ZUI 14.0.127 with unlocked bootloader and active slot _a. Active slot can be checked with
Code:
adb shell /bin/getprop ro.boot.slot_suffix
and answer must be _a
If not, you need change boot slot with command in fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot set_active other
And now you can reboot in EDL mode and start to flash all needed partitions from unpacked archive Pseudo_ROW_J716Fl.7z
You need unpacked ZUI 12.6.211 from lolinet https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/lenovo/Tab_P11_Pro_2021/TB-J716F/ for working with QPST Partition Manager.
How it looks you can see in this video:
You must flash ALL partitions archive contains. Files in Add.rar not need, it for any case.
MANDATORY ! After flashing you need at first to boot in recovery and make reset to factory settings, it will format userdata. Without this action you can't boot.

It was exactly what I was looking for and trying for days, but following your tutorial I still couldn't, it didn't turn on, I had to upload the rom 12.6.211 again. I wanted to leave it with multiple languages.

OK, I will re-check it in 2-3 days. Although I think you did something wrong.

Dude, I have some bad news for you. Your hands are crooked. That needs to be fixed.
My method works without fail. It only takes half an hour.
Try it again.
