Hello to all,
i've been trying since 1 week now to root an Ulefone Armor 8, but it doesn't work. All drivers are installed. The OS installed on the device is Android 10, the build version is X70WSFFB.GQU.EEA.FHJ.Q0.TJAPA9VDYPTS.0703.V3.01. I have already contacted Ulefone and asked if there is another build version (for EU), but it is the only one currently available.
In the firmware there are two boot.img. One is called "boot.img" and the other is called "boot-debug-img". First I only patched the "boot.img" with Magisk and flashed the patched "magisk-patched.img" via ADB. After that the Armor 8 had a bootloop. The bootloop could be removed by flashing the original "boot.img" via ADB. The Armor started normally again.
After that I patched the "boot.img" and the "boot-debug.img" with Magisk and renamed them to "magisk-patched1.img" and "magisk-patched2.img". After that I flashed first the " magisk-patched1.img" and then the " magisk-patched2.img" via ADB. The Armor 8 then had a boot loop again. To get the bootloop away, the original "boot.img" was flashed back and Armor 8 is back in its factory default state.
How can it be rooted, what should I do differently? Could it be because there are two "boot" files in the firmware?
Sorry if my english is not perfect.
Thanks for your help and tips.

I have tried that too, but it doesn' t work.
I flashed the "boot.img" with Magisk, from this Magisk created the file "patched_magisk.img". I moved this file to the ADB folder. After that I did it again with the file "boot-debug.img". Then I put the armor in fastboot mode and first I entered the command "fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img".
ADB writes: writing 'boot_ a'... FAILED (remote: This partition doesn't exist)
After that I still moved the patched "boot-debug.img" into the ADB folder and entered the command "fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img".
ADB writes: writing 'boot_b'... FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
Magisk didn't create 2 patched files from 1 "boot.img", but in the unpacked ROM there are 2 .img files, namely "boot.img" and "boot-debug.img", which I patched one after the other and then flashed.
I have also downloaded the firmware of Armor 7. Of course not to install it, just to see if there are 2 boot.img (= boot.img + boot-debug.img) in it, too. For Armor 7 there is only 1 file "boot.img". For Armor 8 in the firmware there are "boot.img" and "boot-debug.img"
I have now tried overall:
just flash the patched "boot.img" = bootloop
flash only the patched "boot-debug.img" = bootloop
then first the patched "boot.img" and then the patched "boot-debug.img" = bootloop
Now just now again with the command "fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img" = error message and then continue with the command "fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img" = error message.
I think the problem is that there are 2x boot.img files in the ROM?
Edit:
And the SP-Flash-Tool shows that I should remove the battery, but the Armor has a fixed battery.
The SP Flash Tool now works after reinstalling the Vcom driver.
I have now extracted the boot.img of Armor 8 with the SP Flash Tool via "Readback". This file was then patched with Magisk. The file "magisk_patched.img" is together with the file boot.img in the same folder.
This was then flashed to the Armor with the SP Flash Tool in "Download only" mode. The flashing process is running normally and finally "Download Ok".
After that the Armor 8 will start normally and without bootloop, but it still has no root.
Does anyone have an idea?
I also have an armor 8 and I noticed that when u enter developer mode u can unlock the bootloader from there. Which allows you to install root access more successfully
after tapping on the kernel build go back and enter the option where it says system. There u will find the developer options.
after that, I had to follow some steps from this video
I got the stock ROM from the Ulefone website https://www.ulefone.com/support/software-download.html
where I was able to get the boot.img and patch it with magisk however I kept on getting a boot loop so I'll probably figure out another way to root it
1st
2nd
ignore
Have you succeeded yet? I am interested in this phone but want to be sure it can be rooted
Instead of trying to patch it from fastboot, just try booting! Follow the instructions below.
You may want to try the following steps: Just ignore the part about using their rom since it is a different phone. You should be using the Ulefone ROM
[Guide] Install Magisk on your device, updated to handle OTAs easily
[Update in 1st September 2018] Magisk v17 stable has been released, so the August security update: a new method, more OTA-compliant, is written. Hi all, this section is quite gaunt, so I'll post my experience on unlocking and rooting my brand...
forum.xda-developers.com
So save you some clicking, I'll just paste the relevant part below:
How to root
0. You need "debug usb" and "oem unlock" enabled under "developer options" on phone's settings.
1. First, if you don't have already done it, unlock phone's bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
ATTENTION: THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE, ALL USER DATA WILL BE LOST! And no, when you'll have finish this guide, you can't lock it again (each lock-unlock operation will wipe the device)
2. Download ROM system image from official site. Pay attention to download the corresponding version of your actual OS (look in system settings your current build number).
3. Extract "boot.img" from the just downloaded archive and put somewhere in your device (e.g. in a microSD, just remember where you put it).
4. Download and install Magisk Manager apk.
5. Open Magisk, choosing "yes" when it asks to install Magisk-v*.zip, then choose "patch boot image" and select "boot.img" copied in step 3.
6. At the end of patching process, Magisk will tell you where "patched_boot.img" is been stored, keep a note on it and close.
Now's the updated part, that will make possible to apply OTAs:
7. Copy "patched_boot.img" on your computer, then run this on a terminal:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot patched_boot.img
fastboot reboot
This will temporarily give you root privileges (until next reboot).
8. Magisk Manager can now make the root permanent: open it and tap "Install", then "direct install (recommended)". This way (instead of flashing directly patched_boot.img) Magisk Manager can remove and reinstall root privileges directly.
9. Just to be sure that your phone doesn't install updates without your acknowledgement, go to Developer Options and disable "Automatic system updates".
Ta-dà! Now you should have Magisk permanently installed (you can check it re-opening Magisk Manager).
-------------------------------------------------------
Time to update? Here's how
If you've followed what is written above, applying an OTA should be quite easy now.
a. Go to Magisk Manager → Uninstall → Restore Images. Do not reboot now or you will have Magisk uninstalled!
b. Now go to Settings → System → System Update and apply OTA. If it fails you've some tweak on system partition that you've forgot to remove, so try to figure it out and retry. Wait for the installation to complete. DO NOT RESTART NOW.
c. Open Magisk Manager again and press Install → Install to Inactive Slot.
d. Reboot and enjoy
-----------------------
PLEASE ADVISE IF THIS WORKS!
As the guy clearly mentioned, there's a boot.img and a debug_boot.img whenever i try to patch any of that and use fastboot to flash it I only get a bootloop
The bootloader is already unlocked and there's nothing else I can do to get this phone rooted
There's also no twrp currently supported for.it and that's pretty much it
I just needed help with this but it seems like this phone is very unknown and unsupported

Have you explicitly tried
fastboot BOOT patched_boot.img
just BOOTING the patched boot image. just ignoring the the flash command for now.
This shouldn't cause a bootloop since it'll just revert back to the virgin boot.img
TWRP isn't needed for rooting.
Thank you for sharing this , I will try it later today and let you know what happens.

Bootloop
Finally, I successfully rooted! Procedure is the same as in the post 7, but before flashing patched boot you should flash empty vbmeta image:
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_null.img
and then:
fastboot flash boot boot_magisk_patched_root.img
and reboot to system:
fastboot reboot
I attached empty vbmeta and patched boot.

Would anyone be able to direct me or send me the proper information on how to root my OnePlus 9 global LE2115? Because their are to many threads and Im getting confused
You can either use boot.img or you can boot into twrp and flash magisk.apk. 2 options for A11
I have issues rooting LE2115_11_C.44 (Lastest update android 12)
I try patched with Magisk:
fastboot boot boot.img
and that's ok, device is rooted, but when reboot my device don't keep root, so I try:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
and device go into loop in bootloader then I rolled back flashing stock boot.img
I tried install TWRP from https://dl.twrp.me/lemonadep/ using
fastboot boot twrp.img
The TWRP logo appear and next show "Qualcomm crush dump mode"
I need help

A12 root method is different. Not like A11 where you flash the patched boot.img,it won't work. VBmeta and a vendor.img is used also. Also, TWRP is for A11. If you want root,Use the tool here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...xyysds-root-toolbox-coloros-oxygenos.4341167/
Use option 5 and then 6 and reboot. Magisk will be installed. Click the magisk app and update it.

Stock boot.img is required for ota. Flash stock boot image then update.
To root again, get the boot.img for the software version your phone is running on and patch with magisk. Flash the patched boot.img and voila you have rooted.
Glad that you did. Any idea about custom rom on Narzo 30 Pro? as Realme excluded this device in her Android 14 update.
I am using Realme 3.0. Any good way to root and unlock bootloader without getting bricked?
Oops! We broke the matrix. Someone call Neo!
getting this error while try to download any file
LE2113 is OnePlus 9 EU version. C.61 boot.img also works in C.62.
C.61 patch version: 25.1 (25100)
C.62 patch version: 25.2 (25200)
MD5 Checksum:

C4415846BEF632F03EE07189D8EA3E4F C.62_boot_magisk_patched-25200.img
If you lost your root after an update but OEM still unlocked , you can try to recover your root by following steps:
1. reboot your phone to bootloader
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
2. load C.61 bootloader and boot. If your phone can boot into OS successfully, you can continue.
this command will NOT flash image to your phone, it's temporary.
Code:
fastboot boot C.61.img
3. go to magisk app and patch current boot slot. (Direct Install)
4. Reboot.
you can also try different way. such as use my C.62 patched image directly.
bootloader unlock
WARNING! THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY! IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT THIS DOES LEAVE! THERE IS ALMOST NO SUPPORT FOR THIS DEVICE!
go to developer options and turn on oem unlocking
reboot to fastboot
Windows sucks for this because the drivers that you can find will not work!
install linux or in a vm
install fastboot and adb on linux
fastboot command: fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot command: fastboot flashing unlock
reboot the phone.
you get a "orange" warning device will reboot it self.
done!
Root:
Hello welcome to this root tutorial of the IIIF150 R2022!
WARNING YOU WILL VOID YOUR WARRENTY!
UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER FIRST!
EASY WAY NOT RECOMMENDED!
1. https://easyupload.io/0e0o5e MAGISK BOOT IMAGE
2. flash magisk boot image with fastboot
3. reboot phone
I DO NOT RECOMMENDED THIS! WHY WOULD YOU TRUST ME? IF YOU TRUST ME DO THE EASY WAY OTHERWISE DO IT YOURSELF!
NORMAL:
1. first download the STOCK os: https://firmwarefile.com/iiif150-r2022
2. download magisk on your device.
3. copy boot.img to your device.
4. follow the steps on magisk. choose the boot.img and let it patch.
5. put the file on your LINUX pc (windows is possible but it sucks because again drivers)
6. put your device in fastboot mode! NOT FASTBOOTD
7. on pc type: fastboot flash boot magiskbootimgname.img
8. YOUR NOT DONE!!!!!!!!!!
--------------
1. type these commands:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta (vbmeta file name you have download with the stock rom) click enter
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_system (vbmeta_system file name you have download with the stock rom) click enter
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_vendor vbmeta_vendor.img (vbmeta_vendor file name you have download with the stock rom) click enter
---------------------------------------------
YOUR NOW DONE.
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT IT DOES NOT WORK THE FIRST TIME IF IT IS STUCK ON BOOTING REFLASH MAGISK BOOT IMG
I've been waiting for this tutorial since November 2021, although I still have some doubts I'll try to do it.
