This link will bring you to the Best buy site with Google Pixel 3a in it. Is this phone rootable either using Magisk or preferably SuperSu if possible?
So far I have read these links but because I've never succeed in rooting before please let me know if I can root it with the help of these links or if these won't root it please guide me how to find the right resources or keywords to search for info. Thanks in advanced.

Got a QiKU 360 N4, tutorial to unlock bootloader is in chinese. Halp!

I hope this is the right thread.
Hello bois, I got a QiKU 360 N4 which is a pretty sick phone for the money I paid it.
It came out recently on the chinese market and its bootloader is locked.
I googled a bit and found some tutorials tho unlock the bootloader and install TWRP, because somebody compiled that already! Awesome, right?
Too bad are in chinese, yeah.
Google translate doesn't help that much, it is incomprehensible, and even if it did help: I am required to sign up to the chinese forum to read the whole tutorial (which requires me to understand how to sign up) and from what I understand the procedure makes use of a software running on windows to enter the bootloader and such software is in chinese only!
So I am looking for some kind soul who could translate the procedure and, if possible, reupload the necessary files somewhere so people like me wouldn't have to sign up to the linked chinese forum to get them.
In exchange I can offer some tips on health and fitness for I have a master in sports sciences. Or, I could offer you a beer?
P.S. sadly xda does not allow me to post links, can link in private... I guess.

I've sent you a message however I don't think you'll manage without knowing chinese
The tool they use is to unlock the bootloader and it's a proprietary tool.

I'm sorry but I did not have time yesterday. I don't have access to a proper computer so I am using my raspberry pi to do all this. Since it does not have a photo editor I am working on a google slide document that will be accessible by link. I'll post it here as fast as I am done

Here is how far I have come. I assume you have to download a bunch but at least the company gives you information. I've heard numerous people who buy Chinese phones and are stuck with whatever software they offer.
Yeah there is no chance to write a custom rom because the kernel source is never being given by Mediatek.
However having the ability to backup and play around with the stock firmware is great.

True, I like how it has become a meme that "I'll die before mtk releases their sources".
Any more news on this? Loving my N4 so far, but would like to install TWRP and gapps, but not quite sure how. Have read somewhere that Kingroot has worked on other Qiku/360 phones but haven't got that far myself. Any chance you could send me that link to me too, your googling skills are clearly far superior to my own!
Hi.
I wiped my data from the stock recovery and now i am stuck at boot logo.I don't know how that happened.but i think i have to flash stock firmware which i cant find anywhere.
Qiku forum is unresponsive and there is no other place with info of this rare phone.
Help me out here please
help me please! I.want to unlock my QIKU N4S, but i can not download from chinese forum. thank you a lot!

Hello Alex,
Those links are sadly down.
Do you know any other link to a stock N4 image and scatter file that I could use to factory-reset a pattern-locked N4 ? I got my hands on a discarded one, but the factory reset option in recovery mode requires that cloud account be first deleted, which I can't to because of the pattern lock.
Thanks !
EDIT :
Sorry, I spoke too fast. I gave another try and the links are up, though in chinese. I'll try to get what I can. Thank you !

Is the cell phone on your hand 360n4? This cell phone has two versions of 360n4 and 360n4s
Yes, it a 360N4, not a 360N4S.
What I'm trying to do is follow that howto : http://www.cnroms.com/360-n4-061-unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-recovery.html to downgrade it, then factory reset it and install TWRP.
However, I can't read chinese (can't even tell whether it's cantonese or mandarin). Google Translate helps, but most link seem to be broken, and when they're not, the download speed is abysmally slow (several days…).
Is there any way you could help me ? Maybe get the needed files and reupload them somewhere faster ?
I see

Any apk working for rooting?

Im looking for a working app to root Mi Mix and install MIUI 10 or Lineage GSI. I have tried Kingroot but stays on 01%. Thanks in advance.
Don't do it with an app, do it by yourself so you know exactly what went wrong in case something goes wrong
PLEASE next time search the forums before posting.
Root can be found here: http://en.miui.com/thread-2449455-1-1.html
MIUI10 requires a unlocked bootloader if you are not on the beta team.
Instructions to do so can be found here:

Learn how to properly use a Google search, I typed exactly what you were looking for into the Google search bar, like this:
"TWRP for sm a300fu"
Then ran the search, the following link is the FIRST link in the search results.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa.../how-to-root-twpr-flash-a300fu-a300y-t3494362
Most of the time, if you just type exactly what you're looking for in the Google search bar, it will find what you need. It isn't like the information is hidden under a rock or in a haystack.
***NOTE*** if the search terms I used above had not found any links to what you were looking for, it would not mean that what you are looking for is well hidden, it would mean that what you were looking for probably doesn't exist. In other words, if my search had not found any links, it would have meant that there is not a TWRP for your device.
In the future, do your own searching before coming here and asking. Don't waste our time looking for something that you could have very easily found for yourself if you had just put forth the effort to try for yourself first. All you had to do was type exactly what you typed in the title of your thread into the Google search bar instead and you would have found TWRP for your device.
We are not here to hold your hand, spoonfeed you or do the hard work for you. We are here to help with things you don't understand and to point you in the right direction, this is not a support forum, we do not get paid, we are all volunteers. Get used to applying yourself instead of completely depending on us.

microg

Hello!
Anyone using microg with S10e? How do I get started?
I would appreciate a link to a guide or general advice on what to do.
Thank you!

I'm also very interested in running MicroG on this device. Lineage for MicroG doesn't list the S10e on their device page, but I believe there's still a way to get MicroG up and running that involves a manual method. If you learn or discover a way to get MicroG up and running on this device, please post back. Thanks.

Question Root for Joying Android 10 units?

I just bought a 8” Joying JY-UQD80N4G unit, and I’m wondering if there is a way to root it? I’m new to the business of rooting and Android head units in general, so I’m not sure where to look. I’ve seen a few guides on rooting joying devices here, but most of them seem to be made for older Android versions. I don’t want to mess up and end up bricking my new head unit. Can anyone help?
Yes. Get the firmware from joying support. and note its install instructions
Find the boot.imgand patch it with magisk,
[GUIDE] Pixel 5 "redfin": Unlock Bootloader, Update, Root, Pass SafetyNet
If you are looking for my guide on a different Pixel, find it here: Pixel 3 Pixel 3XL Pixel 3a Pixel 3aXL Pixel 4 Pixel 4XL Pixel 4a Pixel 4a (5G) Pixel 5a Pixel 6 Pixel 6 Pro For best results, use the latest stable Magisk release. Discussion...
forum.xda-developers.com
See section, "Spoiler: Initial Root / Create Master Root Image" should help
But instead of using the flashing commands, repack the zip/bin file with your new boot.img replacement and following the install insstuctions.
There are some threads that describe this already:

The above link is for the sc9853i. The uis7862 needs the same approach but different binaries/libraries as the sc9853i is an x86 chip and the uis7862 is an ARM chip. That is a different CPU architecture. If you really want to know how to do it, you need to search on 4pda. There are 3 different ways of doing that.
Furthermore: the 6315_1.zip is identical for all FYT uis7862 units. There are 6315_1.zip versions there with a "baked in" rooted boot.img. It is not all so difficult and not so different from the sc9853i, but it IS different.
And again: Why do you want to root it? On the higher Android versions rooting doesn't add much. It breaks Google voice feedback. It blocks more and more apps that check whether they are started on a rooted device. Viper4Android doesn't work on these units (and it useless now with the DSP enabled units).
So why?

I'd like to root it because I'd like to use one of logcat viewer apks, but these don't work without it.
Could somebody help rooting the latest joying UIS firmware?

I have mentioned it earlier. There are 3 different rooting scripts in the uis7862 section on 4pda. We are not allowed to directly link (as 4pda is also supposed to have illegal software, which is actually not true)
Edit: well, to help you a little. Search under user @gordgelin for "universal root" on 4pda

I'd like to root it because malwarebytes is getting tetchy about devicetest and believes it's cloaked adware (yota)
As it can be stopped but not disabled (extremely suspicious for a "test" app), I tend to agree and want to nuke it
Install Magisk and than flash the script, see attachment.
That worked perfectly
Thank you!!
(I'd tried following other threads and using ADB, etc - which didn't work, so I'm extremely grateful)
